Welcome back to chapter 110 of "Selfless".
The last chapter was published only half as it was a mistake on my side. I'm surprised no one told me about it -_-
Always remember I only post a chapter when it's on average above 1k words.
Now, let's start the chapter.
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
"Demonic Voice"
"Flashback"
...................................
Hyuuga compound
Kurenai sighed as she left alone once again. She wondered what Hinata's problem was. This month her team was training hard. Both Shino and Kiba went to train with their clan and she suspected Hinata to do the same.
She already visited Kiba and Shino but once again she wasn't allowed to see Hinata.
Kurenai looked up at Hinata's room and then sighed "I'll try again tomorrow" she then reluctantly left.
Once Kurenai walked off Hinata can be seen watching her leave from her window. The Hyuuga heiress frowned and her eyes narrowed.
Yamanaka compound
Yamanaka Inoichi looked up the stairs where his daughter's room was and sighed. He dearly hoped she started training since her teammates already have. Shikaku, Chouza and Asuma were helping Chouji and expected Ino to come.
"Honey" Ino's mother came to her husband looking worried.
"If she doesn't come in 10 minutes then she should go back to the academy" Inoichi frowned and then turned around to leave. He had enough of his daughter playing around and insulting the Shinobi profession.
His wife looked to protest but had nothing to say. Inoichi was about to leave when Ino came down the stairs.
"Dad wait!" the man turned around to see his daughter all ready and looking serious.
"Why don't you stay in your room Ino as clearly, you don't want to be a shinobi" Ino frowned and shook her head "I do and I will try my best now"
"This would not have happened if you took my offer to train you while you were in the academy" Ino's father frowned "I'm disappointed in you Ino. You chose to chase after boys than to train"
Ino's eyes went wide while her mother looked shocked at Inoichi.
The man sighed now "But in the end, you are my daughter just be lucky you are." Ino brightened up when Inoichi walked off "hurry up we are late!" Ino nodded and looked at her mother who smiled and nodded "go Ino and do your best"
Ino smiled and then ran after her dad "I will mum. Bye!" Ino's mother waved now seeing her daughter leave. She knew Ino will try her best now.
Team 7 training ground
Sakura looked shocked at was she was seeing. Right in front of her was Kakashi but what surprised her was that the training ground now looked set up for training. There were wooden posts, targets practices, etc.
"Sensei what's this" Sakura asked. Kakashi's eyes narrowed "this...Sakura is what a training ground is designed for"
"Bu...But it's the first time I saw this" Sakura looked bewildered
"I'm not surprised you didn't because Sasuke and mostly likely Naruto trained like this" Sakura's eyes went wide.
Both Sasuke-Kun and Naruto trained like this.
"Wait I know Sasuke-kun trains like this due to his clan but how can Naruto" Sakura asked only to receive Kakashi's glare which scared her a bit.
"Stop asking questions Sakura" Sakura's eyes went wide when Kakashi carried on "let me tell you this. It doesn't matter how someone got the necessity to train. It's all about if the person is willing to train that matters. Naruto wanted to be strong and look where he is now. It's because he never gives up no matter how hard life is." Kakashi looked disappointed a bit now "You should learn from him Sakura or you will never bring Sasuke back"
Sakura gasped and her eyes went considerably wide. Her Sensei and what he said rang true. If she wanted to bring Sasuke-kun back then she needed to become stronger.
"Alright you have one month until Tsunade-Sama's test let's begin" Sakura nodded "Hai Sensei"
Kakashi nodded and looked ready to begin.
"Good I will now take you seriously"
Teuchi and Ayame's home
Naruto and Ayame both sat on the couch as the waitress snuggled closely to Naruto who looked absolutely fine with it.
They ate some breakfast and decided to just sit on the couch and enjoy the morning.
Naruto grabbed hold of a trophy that said that Ayame won 1st place in the national swimming contest.
"Hey Ayame I wonder. You were popular at school with good grades right" Ayame as she snuggled close to him answered "yeah people liked me and I liked it as well"
Naruto nodded as he knew how popular she was in high school and how her father kept telling him to beat up guys that flirted with her.
"I bet you did" the Uzumaki said with a hint of sternness. Ayame noticed the tone and looked at him. She was smirking "Oh. Was Naruto-kun jealous of the attention I got from other guys"
Naruto's eyes narrowed for a bit making Ayame smile widely but then he chuckled.
"Well no I wasn't but it did brought a lot of hassle though" Ayame now got off him and crossed her arms "I seem to remember you threatening a lot of guys" Naruto's eyes went wide "I didn't threaten them it was more like a favour"
Ayame frowned "I also seem to remember you having a lot of attention from the girls in my class"
Naruto waved his hands forward "I wasn't. That was more like me introducing to them as your friend"
Ayame huffed and turned her head away making Naruto chuckle.
"Anyway Ayame why do you work in the ramen stand and not have a good job or go back to school" Naruto now looked serious but was also worried
Ayame noticed he was worried and answered "I want to help my dad for a while" Naruto nodded but then put his hand on her lap "I know but your dad doesn't want to hold you back"
Ayame frowned "I'm his daughter and it's my right to help him. Why doesn't he get that" Ayame remembered that her dad always told her to have a future and leave things to him. Its something they always argued about.
Naruto chuckled "It's a male thing Ayame you won't understand" Ayame's eyes narrowed "is that so well I know you Naruto-kun. I seem to remember you hate to lose even in the simplest arguments"
Naruto rolled his eyes "Ah so it's back to me now, is it. We were talking about you just now"
"Well we are talking about you now Naruto" Ayame looked irritated which Naruto noticed making him chuckle.
Ayame blinked as to what he found funny. The Uzumaki answered her as his hand now caressed her lap softly making her blush a bit.
"I like it when you're angry. It's so easy to get you all worked up" Naruto smiled making his friend blush all red
She then became angry once again and suddenly hit his arm "OW! What was that for!" Naruto nursed his arm making Ayame smirk victoriously "that's what happens when you get a woman angry. Especially when it's me"
Naruto nursed his arm and just looked at her with a stunned expression. The waitress found his expression cute and just giggled
Naruto frowned "so you found that funny huh!" Ayame carried on giggling "so...sorry Naruto-kun it's just your face" she then laughed making Naruto pout and tell her to stop laughing.
She carried on laughing when Naruto smirked she noticed and stopped. His expression made her shiver a bit.
"You may laugh now but it will be I who will have the last laugh" Naruto smile went wider when suddenly Ayame hit his arm again getting another reaction from the Uzumaki.
"Ayame!" Ayame smiled looking all smug "well for now let me be the one to laugh" Naruto just looked taken aback but then shook his head "okay Ayame-chan you win"
Ayame smiled looking all victorious when Naruto spoke seriously "Ayame I just want you to be happy. You know that right" Ayame's face softened and she nodded "I know Naruto but for now I want to help my dad"
Naruto nodded and noticed his friend become sad and then brought his hands out "come here"
Ayame noticed his gesture of comfort and smiled thus she went back to snuggle close to Naruto.
The two enjoyed the comfort when Naruto spoke "You can stay there as long as you like. I just want you to know that I know a friend who works for a famous company. So when you are ready I will introduce you" Ayame nodded as she knew that Naruto had lots of contacts.
"Okay Naruto-kun but that won't be for a long time" Naruto nodded and caressed her long hair making Ayame blush and close her eyes.
"Okay Ayame it's your choice"
