In Team 7

Chapter 29

Meanwhile with Naruto

"Ero-sennin, I’m so tired … Will we be there yet?"

"You asked five seconds ago, what do you think? And don't complain all the time!"

"But Ero-sennin…"

"No!"

"But Ero-sennin-sama!"

"Hooo, we’ll be there in five minutes!"

"I knew you knew!" said Naruto.

"Why I always fall for that?"

Jiraiya face-palmed.

"Because you are ero-sennin, Ero-sennin."

"God..."

Five minutes later

"Finally home, dattebayo!"

"I'll finally get rid of him!" Jiraiya was happy.

"Huh? Isn’t that Jiraiya-sama and Naruto?" said those two guys from Naruto.

"I don’t see Hinata anywhere, I thought we were going to look for Sasuke right away…"

"Baka! Akatsuki is after you, don’t forget!"

"How could I…?"

"Naruto-nii-chan!" yelled Konohama and his team.

"Oh, Konohamaru. Long time no see you-ttebayo!"

"Naruto?" said Sakura who
just walked through.

"Oh, Sakura-chan!"

"You grew up, didn’t you?"

"I'm taller than you now, hehe."

"That’s true."

"Naruto-nii-chan, I challenge you to a match!"

"I accept!"

"I wonder what this match will be about…" thought Sakura.

"Oiroke no jutsu!!!" both said at the same time and Sakura froze.

"You stupid pervert!" Sakura punched Naruto.

"W-why only me?"

"It belongs to you to do this in front of a lady!" she said angrily.

"I-I’m sorry, dattebayo!" Then Naruto looked up and saw the pillar. He climbed on top of him and looked around the village.

"What are you doing?"

"Hey Sakura-chan, didn’t you see Hinata?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I … I…" Naruto didn't know what to say. He didn't want Sakura to know he wanted to look for Sasuke.

"Ho, I know! You want to see her, don’t you?"

"T-that’s right, dattebayo!"

"Right now … maybe she is in the Forest of Death."

"Huh?! What would she do there, it's dangerous there!" Naruto remembered his last Chunin exams. It was horrible in the Forest of Death.

"I don’t know…"

"I have to find her…" thought Naruto and ran away.

"Huh? Where is he going?"

"Maybe he already understood women ... Not to mention that he was with me all that time!" Jiraiya was proud of himself. He excelled as a master.

...

Naruto used Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu to find Hinata faster.

"She has to be somewhere-ttebayo…"

...

Hinata had just reached the old woman.

"Hmmm…" She was thoughtful.

"W-what is happening?"

"Someone is breaking my barrier…"

"Huh? I thought this place was a secret."

"Did anyone follow you by any chance?"

"N-no, I always make sure no one is following me and I have explained to my friends why I come here."

"That’s weird…"

...

"Hinata, I feel her chakra! Although her chakra is very weak, I can feel it. Something must have happened to her!" Naruto clinched his fists.

"Don’t worry, Hinata, I’m coming-ttebayo!" Suddenly Naruto saw a strange hut, chakra flowing around it.

"… Hinata must be there!" Naruto set out to find out…
