Corpse party

As team 7 was making their way out of the academy building, Naruto looked towards his other two teammates.

" Man Kakashi sensei is really lazy isn't he? "

Sasuke scoffed at that while Hinata nodded lightly, but that was only to be polite, what was she to do, scoff like Sasuke? That would put their team in a tight spot again.

Thankfully someone came to her rescue, they had reached the gates of academy when she saw Shin standing there, hands folded with a smile on his face.

" Yo! Hinata? Now that's a surprise, but a welcome one, with you here, I can leave Sasuke in good hands. "

Sasuke blushed as he retorted.

" Brother...! I can take care of myself! "

Giving a nod of sure you can to Sasuke, Shin gave a thumbs up to Naruto, then he looked towards Hinata as he smiled wryly.

' Why did Hinata get involved.. '

Trying not to click his tongue, Shin looked at Hinata as he spoke.

" I didn't know you would be coming Hinata.. not today.. I had expected Sakura to be honest.."

Walking up to Hinata, Shin stared at her for a couple of seconds..

Then just smiled, as if accepting the twist of fate.

" But I am glad you are here, Hinata, your presence today would surely..."

Putting his hand on her shoulder, Shin spoke slowly, with a slight smile on his face.

".. Your presence today will surely make everything worthwhile... "

Hinata was blushing up a storm at Shin's close actions and Sasuke simply rolled his eyes, but Naruto was wondering why Shin sounded so ominous..?

' Is that just me..? Nobody else thinks Shin sounds eerie?? '

Naruto scratched his cheek as he saw the two flirting, at least he thinks they are flirting..

' They are both weird. '

Naruto nodded to himself as he confirmed his judgement.

Shin and Hinata were done as well, any more attention form shin and Hinata will just faint.

" Well, let's go, or food will get cold. "

Shin smiled as he waved for them to follow.

" Alright! Let's go Shin! "

Naruto jumped as he happily walked along, keeping up a silly smile, but truthfully he was feeling a little weird about the whole thing, his gut was telling that something was going to happen.

' Are the villagers going to start scolding me again..? No, I am a Ninja now, and soon I'll be the Hokage! I will make everyone acknowledge me! '

Naruto decided to avoid the heavily crowded places, he didn't want his friends to be implicated due to walking with him.

" Hey, I know a shortcut, let's go from here, I can't wait, I am starving! "

" Huh "

Sasuke huffed, but followed, Shin lightly took a look at Naruto, then smiled at Hinata as they both walked together as well.

" Shin you wouldn't believe, what sensei did! You know- "

Shin was nodding along as he tuned Naruto out, his mind wasn't on the conversation right now, Hinata wasn't expected by him today, he didn't think they would actually put her in team 7, he needed a reconstruction of his plans as soon as possible.

' Hinata got the Hyuga's behind her, due to me giving her confidence, she didn't even get kicked out of her clan head status, today really didn't need the variable of Hyuga around.. '

Gritting his teeth, Shin was brainstorming, what he was about to do was no laughing matter, if not done correctly it might even start a clan on clan bloodshed and displace the whole political environment of Konoha.

And that would lead to fourth Shinobi world war form a weak Konoha, and Itachi going berserk on top of that..

" And you know what he said? You guys are a handful, seriously, how can - "

Giving a shocked look to Naruto in the meantime, Shin was trying to find ways he can use the presence of Hyuga heiress to his advantage, he wanted nothing more than to send Hinata home, but that would be too suspicious. He needed the newly formed team seven in one place. If only it was the same team like canon..

' Shit, Why Sakura? Your pure presence would have been enough, you just needed to goddam exist, how do you mess up existing?! '

Shin was almost convinced being useless was Sakura's curse, like Tsunade's was losing every gamble.

" Man that sure sounds cool. "

Shin gave a random reply, Naruto would love if anything he said was called cool, Shin didn't need to hear his words to know that.

And he was right, Naruto grinned as Sasuke humped, his brother should find him cool, not this Naruto.

" No way Shin, Naruto didn't say anything like that, it was - "

Shin tuned out Sasuke too, they were almost here, and thankfully he had figured out how he will deal with the change in plans.

And Naruto meanwhile was sweating up a storm which he tried to hide by talking fast.

He didn't know what was going on, he was feeling more and more danger as time passed, it can't be his teammates, and Shin was a good friend.

' What is it?! '

Naruto was born with a sage body, Ashura's reincarnation, nine tails emotional sensing, he had a lot of things giving him empathy and a sense of nagative emotions naturally, his sense of foreboding got stronger and stronger.

" We are here! Let's go. "

Naruto almost had to girt his teeth to follow Shin to the Uchiha clan leader's house His Instincts were telling him to run immediately, but before he could act on that Shin seemed to have caught on that something was up.

Glancing at Naruto, Shin looked somewhere else, as he said as if introducing.

" Welcome to the Uchiha estate! This is one of the most secure places in Konoha! You guys might not understand, but strong Ninja's would feel the danger of this place! "

Smiling at the trio, Shin finished.

" But it is dangerous only for the enemy! It is absolutely safe for it's inhabitants! So just realx! We can enjoy as much as we want! "

Everyone became happy in various ways, but Naruto was the one with immense relief washing over him.

' So that's it! I can sense the security of this place because I am a great Ninja! Haha! I was getting scared for nothing! '

Looking at Naruto letting out a quiet sigh of relief, Shin's eyes moved away from him, giving a polite smile, he and Hinata walked into the kitchen to get food out, while Sasuke and Naruto washed their hands.

Meanwhile Hinata was simply plenty happy as she helped Shin while blushing and having a smile on her face.

She truly liked this peaceful atmosphere a lot!
