Hinata's Pov

"I was waiting outside the house for my Naruto to come out; he is giving his goodbyes to that girl.

Raising my head, I looked at the countless stars in the sky. I lost myself in thoughts of me and my Naruto doing the things a couple should do.

'Hehehe,' I let out a small giggle as I imagined him holding me princess-carry style and kissing me in the middle of the night. With a silly smile on my face, I imagined various scenarios.

I didn't pay any attention to the girl. In my heart, I know what I should do; to me, everything came after my Naruto.

Fixing my face, I turned around and noticed that he had already exited the house and was walking towards me.

"Let's go."

Nodding to him, I opened a portal, and both of us exited in the middle of the forest.

I quietly grabbed his hand as we walked hand in hand. The moon was shining above our heads like a gem as its moonlight poured on our faces, making him appear more ethereal. I felt giddy inside my heart. Just holding his hand and walking beside him made me feel complete.

Even though we were going to have a life-and-death battle, in my heart, there was no hesitation. Besides, he was with me. Even if I die, I will die in his arms or with him.

I tightly held his hand as I couldn't let this happen. Yes, I don't want to die; I want to live, live with my Naruto. I will protect him with all my strength.

We walked at a slow pace, enjoying the warmth of each other's hands. None of us spoke as we enjoyed the quietness and beauty of the night.

These small gestures and moments make my heart flutter, to relish every moment.

"So where should we start searching for him?" he muttered."

"He could be anywhere," I said while activating my Byakugan and looking all around me.

"That man has been hiding for thousands of years; he could be in the Elemental Nations or he could be in another dimension," he said as I saw a glow in his eyes. It seemed he was scanning the entire Elemental Nations.

He shook his head in denial, "he is not here."

"Maybe he is in another dimension... but in which one?" I spoke. I knew there are numerous small dimensions attached to the Elemental Nations.

"Let me focus," activating my Jougan, I started to look for any recently opened dimensions. With my eyes, I could see the barriers between dimensions and open them with ease. Heck, even if I wanted to see or hear any person whose chakra is known to me, it doesn't matter to me where he is, i could do that with ease. 

Naruto nodded to me as he himself started to search every single person. While looking for any recent activities, one of my eyes was still on my Naruto, and I could see his lips curled up. Maybe he had found something interesting.

I didn't ask him; if he wanted to tell me, he would have.

"Sweetheart, I will be back in no time..." he said with amusement.

From his grin, I could tell it's going to be bad for someone. "Are you going to mess with someone?"

"You know me very well... hehe..." he said as he kissed my forehead.

"Bye-bye..." he whispered in my ears and disappeared from there.

"Haha," I laughed slightly at his antics and started searching for any evidence.

"I guess I have to search every single one of them," I thought out loud. It might take some minutes or hours to find his exact location.

"I hope I could find it until he comes back."

I started to search every single dimension. This was the first time I am using my eyes to their full potential in the searching department.

"So many abilities of my eyes are still inaccessible to me," I thought to myself, but I was sure this wouldn't be for too long.
