Thanks again! Be assured: They will meet.

Chapter
Five: Be Cheerful!

The
next day he did his best to calm down, to be friendly again, to be
cheerful, reasonable and controlled. He had never considered himnself
a controlled person, and others probably would have called him
extremely rash and impulsive, but now he realized that for all his
life, even before he had known of its existence, he had been keeping
the kyuubi in check.

A
large portion of his chakra had always been reserved for this
purpose, and for this reason he had been able to use so little of it,
failing the final exam of the ninja academy year after year.

Anger
rolled up in him: They could have made allowances for him. They could
have taken into consideration that he had to use his chakra for the
kyuubi and that this was an enormous feat in itself, greater than the
petty ninjutsus performed by his classmates when they passed the
exam. They could have been grateful to him for bearing the kyuubi
inside him and keeping the village safe. Instead they had just been
glad that it had been sealed into someone else and happily feared and
despised him, forgetting that he was a human being with feelings as
themselves.

„Why
do you care about them?“ he heard the kyuubi's voice inside
him. „Why not simply have done with them?“

„Get
off!“ Naruto shouted in answer. „I don't need you! I
don't want you!“

He
had to keep his anger in check. The kyuubi must not get loose again,
whatever price he had to pay. He had to keep his teammates safe.

He
might curse his fate, but he had to bear it, and not be angry at the
people who had put it on his shoulders. It had been necessary,
someone had had to take the kyuubi, he should be proud that it was
him, and rather pity than curse the people who did not understand
that he was sacrificing himself for them. He should get a grip on
himself, be friendly and cheerful and loyal again, do his best to win
his teammates' friendship and recognition.

Damn.
He had been so near. He had thought that at least the people who knew
him personally had come to like him. He had thought that at least
they now saw him as a person, as a strong, courageous fighter, never
hesitating to lay down his life to save them: But even they only saw
him as the demon vessel that had to be taken care of.

„What's
the matter with you?“ Hinata asked. She was teamed up with him
again, together with Yamato and the calf-sized ninja-dog. „You
are both restless and silent. I would never have thought that both
can go together.“

„I
would not have thought it either“, he answered. „I am
sorry. I will try to do better.“

„No,
no“, she replied. „You don't have to be sorry. I am
sorry. I know you are worried because you are in danger. But the
Akatsuki won't get you: We will break them up, and then everything
will be fine again.“

She
reached out to him and tentatively touched the tips of his fingers
with her own.

Things
must have gone pretty far downhill, Naruto thought, if Hinata among
all people is trying to comfort me.

„Don't
worry about me“, he said. „I am Uzumaki Naruto:
Unstoppable and unpredictable.“

She
blushed and looked away: Contrary to him she was very predictable.

By
now he had understood the meaning of her behaviour. Sometimes he
thought about just taking her into his arms and then kissing her on
her cheeks and perhaps on her mouth. Sometimes he daydreamt about it,
and in these dreams either he or she herself opened her anorak and
the tunique she wore below, and then he would take her big round
breasts out of her bra, and would caress and kiss them... There his
dreams normally ended. He was not sure whether he really liked such
big breasts, and besides, he was still in love with Sakura, so why
dream of Hinata? Just because it would be easy to get her laid? He
would get no satisfaction out of it, he wanted a partner whose heart
was difficult to win, so that he had something to be proud out,
someone whose recognition he would value.

„Concentrate!“
Yamato said. He was some metres ahead of them. „You are on a
mission, not on a date.“

Unpredictable
and unstoppable. No opponent had ever managed to intimidate or
discourage him. Only his teachers now did.

In
the evening one of his kagebunshin dissolved, and in dissolving his
knowledge became Naruto's. There was a cave nearby, its floor covered
with crow's feathers. Naruto associated crows and ravens – he
had never got the hang of telling the two apart – with Itachi,
who had used them twice in genjutsus against him. The kagebunshin had
picked up one of the feathers, not knowing that it was only a
kabebunshin and would never be able to bring it back to Naruto, then
it had left the cave and seen the raven sitting outside on a huge oak
tree, watching him. It had a Sharingan.

The
shadow clone had vanished immediately. It did not want to attract the
raven's attention.

He
did not tell anyone about it, for fear of being told off again.

„You
are so thoughtful today“, Sakura said when they were rolling
out their sleeping-bags before going to sleep.

„Yeah,
guess so“, he answered. „Don't worry!“

„You'll
see, soon again when we have taken out Akatsuki, everything will be
fine“, she said.
