Chapter 025

Naruto laughed and applauded Hinata's ingenuity.

"That was so cool how you got away from them my sly Moon's Eye Spring Rabbit," Naruto cheered, "You're becoming more like me every day."

"Yeah," Hinata replied, "That's what Hanabi said. I'm still wondering how you talked me into cutting class today just so-"

"You can spend the day with me and do something better with your time other than listening to Iruka-sensei ever so interesting lectures," Naruto interjected.

"If father finds out about this," Hinata said worriedly.

"He won't," Naruto assured, "This is our Cut Day, the day we get to cut class and do whatever we want so long we don't get caught doing so. I pulled stunts like this through the year whenever I wanted to skip out on class without getting caught when there was something I wanted to train myself in that required more of my time and energy. Besides, I believe I told you already that Iruka-sensei's planned lectures that I managed to look into yesterday won't involve any spars or any physical training. Just reviews of about the history of our late Yondaime and how he brought about Kyuubi's defeat."

"And that doesn't interest you as something worth reviewing," Hinata asked.

"Did it do likewise with you seeing that we're both here now," Naruto shot back.

"Fair comment," Hinata shrugged before reaching into her jacket and pulling the rolled up tied scroll out, "In any case, there's no turning back now. We might as well get our proclaimed Cut Day started."

"You sound more excited about this than I do," Naruto teased.

"I just hope we don't get caught," Hinata said.

"Relax," Naruto assured, "I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

"You promise," Hinata asked for reassurance.

"I give you my word," Naruto said confidently, "And I never go back on my word. It's my nindo! Dattebayo!"

Having his reassurance Hinata opened the scroll and laid it on the ground. Standing in front of it, she made the required hand sign.

"Kai," Hinata said as the scroll burst into a cloud of smoke and unsealed its contents.

(Meanwhile)

Everyone was in class reviewing the notes Iruka was giving them about Yondaime and his time reigning as the Hokage before Kyuubi's attack on the village. "Hinata" was sitting at "her" desk going over "her" notes while "Naruto," now wearing a ridiculous bright orange jumpsuit with blue and white linings around it with a pair of goggles around his head, was resting "his" head on the desk, sleeping. After another twenty minutes…

"NARUTO!" Iruka yelled. "Naruto" woke up instantly and stood up from his desk and yelled, "I'm innocent! I swear I wasn't peeping and sneaking into the women's bathhouse again!"

Everyone burst out laughing at "Naruto's" reaction as "he" looked around and realized where "he" was.

"At least we know where your mind is Naruto," Iruka remarked, "Now you mind explaining what we the class were discussing?"

"Something about Yondaime and Iwa, and how he slaughtered a whole army of Iwa ninjas by himself in less than a second," Naruto said scratching the back of his head, "Though I don't quite understand how a mere human like Yondaime could kill a bijuu, let alone the strongest of them. I know Yondaime was a powerful Hokage and everything, but it doesn't seem to make sense to me whenever I think about it. Something about that story doesn't quite add up."

Iruka hid his nervous expression while thinking of something to say.

Could Naruto be on the verge of figuring out the village's darkest secret, Iruka wondered worriedly.

"Naruto," Kiba (age 13) said, "Little ever makes sense to you. Besides, I'm sure you were sleeping in class when that part of your question was covered."

Before "Naruto" could retort…

"That's right," Iruka said, piggyback riding on Kiba's statement, "Next time stay awake for my class and you'd probably understand the village's history more than you do now."

"Whatever," "Naruto" snorted as he sat back down on his seat and turned to look at Sasuke.

"Hn," Sasuke grunted as his response to "Naruto."

"Don't act like you're all cool and crap teme," "Naruto" said.

"'Naruto," Iruka warned, "One more out burst from you and I'll have you on bathroom duty."

"Don't you mean bathhouse duty," "Naruto" asked jokingly.

"NO YOU MORON!" Iruka yelled with his face reddened. Everyone was laughing again.

"Idiot," Sasuke muttered.

"Just sit down and pay attention," Iruka said after calming down. Seeing that "Naruto" was done causing another ruckus, Iruka resumed the review with the class.

I think I played my part convincingly, "Naruto" thought, And "Hinata" is doing likewise also.

(Back At The Water Fall Deep In The Forest)

Naruto, wearing only his black swimming trunks, was standing at the base of the water fall with six of his kage bushins, was catching his breath while they were standing in front of the falling waters. Hinata, wearing her white two piece bathing suit, was standing on the water several feet behind Naruto and his clones. She was wearing her swims clothes underneath her regular clothes earlier before she left her house thus she didn't have to waste time putting them on after arriving at the waterfall. She simply had to remove her regular clothes and sandals. It was likewise with Naruto and his swim trunks.

Off to the side at the shore of the water fall was a prepared picnic site with their drinks, lunches, towels and folded clothes were. A large comforter blanket was opened and lying own ground where their belongings were.

A moment later, Naruto dispelled his clones and absorbed the experience his clones had gained for him.

"That was really good Naruto-kun," Hinata cheered, "You managed to split the waterfall that time."

Naruto turned and gave Hinata a large smile.

"I've been practicing that for some time now," Naruto said, "It's only now I've managed to finally get the job done."

"You came a long way," Hinata replied, "But I still have a way to go in mastering my water manipulation."

"But you made great progress too," Naruto encouraged, "Far more than you thought you would. At the rate you're going you'll be a true spring water rabbit."

Manipulating some of the water around them, Hinata levitated it over to her and shaped it into two bunny ears over her head while making a bunny tail with the rest of the remaining water.

"Aren't I already I spring rabbit," Hinata joked.

"A delicious looking one at that I might add," Naruto said with a lecherous smile as he eyed Hinata up and down. As a young teenager, Naruto saw that Hinata was developing in a beautiful girl and her breasts were developing between B and C cup, which was surprising even for him. With regards to her body, she had a figure many girls their age would die for and her secret training with Naruto only served to help shape it all the more. Hinata's face was burning crimson at Naruto's behavior and how he was studying her.

True, Hinata admitted to herself, Naruto-kun is a pervert, there's no denying that fact. But he never had me do anything I was never comfortable with or bring more trouble for me than it was worth.

As Hinata was looking at Naruto, she too saw how Naruto have changed and developed over the course of time. No longer was he that slim undernourished orphan who ate only ramen or whatever else he could eat. His time practicing and training vigorously with a better diet plan really did works on his now built well-toned yet still developing body; and his seals Inryoku Fūjin (Gravity Seal) Chakra Sokubaku Fūjin (Chakra Restraint Seal) served to add to the strength and stamina his body radiated and carried.

Still, Hinata thought, There were times, secretly, wished that I could just-
