Hinata wants to take action

Naruto, Sakura, along with Sasuke, moved to the upper floor. There, they saw a group assembled. Since a commotion was going on, all three went there.

In that group, Lee got pushed and fell to the ground. As he fell, Tenten helped him stand up.

As Tenten was helping Lee, she looked at the two guards and said, "Please let us go. Why are you blocking us from taking the exam?"

Sasuke observed them and then the two guards, followed by the door labeled Room No. 301. He immediately used his eye powers to see through everything. Noticing the genjutsu, he said, "You can stop acting and release the genjutsu."

Then Sasuke continued, "Sakura, I think you have noticed it too. You have the sharpest eyes and best analytical skills."

Sakura then said, "Ah... Ahem. Yes, this is just the second floor."

Sakura thought, Cha... I didn't know this. If Sasuke hadn't told me...

Naruto remained silent. He didn't see through the illusion via genjutsu. Even though his body was strong and he had sharp eyes, he couldn't see through illusions. His main flaw was illusion techniques. In his previous life, he had sustained many damages in his death battle because of illusions. Thinking about this, he wanted to take the Sharingan for himself more and more. Taking it from Sasuke, whose eyes hadn't ripened yet, was a waste, and there would be a village pursuit after it. Taking it from Itachi was the best idea.

Then the two guards removed the genjutsu, and the room number changed to 201.

Everyone witnessed the power of the Sharingan, and all were in awe of Sasuke. Sasuke felt good about this recognition. The three then went upstairs, where the exam was about to take place.

The door was pushed open by Sakura. Sasuke and Naruto, who were behind her, walked in after she stepped inside—like a lord stepping in after his bodyguards. It was an imposing entrance. A surge of ominous aura spread through the entire room, stiffening everyone's bodies. Some even got angry at Naruto's intimidating presence.

Gaara, who was sitting, sensed this aura. It resonated with his beast, making the creature inside him angry.

(Since it sensed the Nine-Tails' chakra, and they were not quite acquainted.)

Kiba, who was a few steps ahead of Team 7, saw Naruto and mockingly pointed at him. "Look, the loser is here."

It seemed Kiba had not noticed Naruto was not a loser anymore, even after seeing him create all those clones.

Naruto countered with a confused expression. "Where did I hear a dog barking?"

Naruto then looked at Akamaru, who was in Kiba's hands. "Hey, Akamaru, did you bark?"

"Bow! Bow!" Akamaru barked, looking at Naruto.

Kiba, with an angry face, shouted, "You... you...!"

Hinata, who was behind Kiba, talked to herself, Naruto is so intimidating and so handsome.

Ino saw Team 7 and walked towards them. Shikamaru, beside her, thought, Now comes the love drama of Sasuke-Ino-Sakura.

Reaching Team 7, Ino said, "Hey... Naruto, Sakura, are you two getting along well?"

Hearing those words, Sakura blushed, her cheeks turning pink.

Ino's sudden words changed the expressions of the whole Leaf Academy teams. Everyone knew how Sakura had pursued Sasuke since childhood, and now she was getting close to Naruto and had seemingly given up on Sasuke.

The biggest reactions came from Rock Lee and Hinata.

Rock Lee, who had thought Sakura had fallen for Sasuke, now realized she had actually fallen for Naruto—the one everyone used to describe as a fool. He thought, Naruto is not better than me but does look a little more handsome than me. Then and there, Lee took Naruto as his enemy, deciding he had to slap Naruto's face and take Sakura from him.

Hinata, who had feelings for Naruto, felt her heart sink at Ino's open declaration and seeing Sakura blush. She decided then and there to talk to Naruto more and express her feelings. If I don't act now, some vixen will take Naruto, she thought.

She had seen some of Naruto's recent changes—not completely, but barely. Activating her Byakugan, she saw Naruto's immense chakra. Gasping, she thought, Naruto... sooner or later, he will have major power. Then endless girls will fall head over heels for him. I have to take action now.

Hinata thought again, First, I have to make Naruto fall for me... about the other girls, I will deal with them later.

Naruto, seeing everyone's gazes and Hinata and Rock Lee's conflicted expressions, said, "Hey guys, it seems we are attracting more attention. Why don't we take our seats?"

Hearing this, many of the seated genin wanted to slap Naruto's face nice and hard, but they controlled themselves since they were in another village and it wasn't their territory.

All the teams from the Leaf Academy—you know who they are—took their seats hearing naruto's words not wanting to attract more attention.

Fifteen minutes later, the door opened.

An instructor entered, a visible scar on his face. He spoke loud and clear. "First test... it's a written test. Come with me to the exam room."

Everyone entered the exam room. Naruto sat beside Hinata.

Hinata thought deeply. Now's my chance... what should I do? How should I start talking to him? Should I talk the same way as before? No... no... no. That won't do. He may think I am too submissive and not show interest in me.

Hinata understood Naruto was no longer the same goofy boy, the one who was easily bullied and provoked, the one who always got beaten up by Sakura, the one who made a fool of himself. Even though that was cute back then... but now... Naruto is intimidating, mocking others. He is showing the face of someone who bullies others... he is dominating personality now.

Hinata thought about how to act. A distant approach—expressing myself forming a distance with him is the best approch.

She looked at Naruto, who was seated before her. As her gaze fell on him, Naruto turned his head and looked at Hinata.

Hinata immediately turned her head in the opposite direction with a "Hmph."

Talking to herself, she thought, Cool down... cool down.

Naruto, seeing her expression and hearing her "Hmph," thought, What's her problem?

Naruto immediately identified the situation.

After Ino's words, Hinata gave the same expression, like a woman who finds out her husband cheated on her with a younger girl.

Naruto was not a dork or a retard who don't know when some one has feelings for them, he is quite a veteran in this love trope field.

With that, Naruto realized Hinata had feelings for him. He then thought, Hinata is not a simple girl. She has a whole clan behind her, and she's the heiress. Having her on my side is a good thing.

Naruto then moved close to her—so close that there was only a finger's distance between them. Hinata turned to face Naruto, and as she saw him, her heart raced.

Naruto asked with a straight face, "Do you have feelings for me, Hinata?"

"LUP... DUB... LUP... DUB..."

Hinata's heart raced even faster. Her heartbeat was loud enough that it could even be heard by Naruto.

A/N:

DOUBT CLARIFY-2

Sakura.

Sakura is not a gold digger, but this is what sasuke thinks about her. sakura she always pursuid sasuke...she has endless crush on sasuke. but naruto saved her life, so sakura thought of showing gratitude, but naruto spanked her as she is not showing respect to him as a teacher. Sakura actually thought of reaping benifits from naruto without respecting him....as he endlessly spanked her when ever she not respected him, she holded a little resentment towards naruto. so she complained to teuchi. after naruto thrown her out like garbage, she after finding such a vast difference from naruto's breating technique...she regrets loosing such a golden opportunity. then she goes and kneels to naruto and now she is respecting and learning and little submissive towards naruto. when sasuke said those words as he is not intrested in sakura, at that time she did have some feelings for sasuke but hearing those harsh words form sasuke, her feeling of sasuke are thrown into trash can by her.
