Naruto : Shadow King

It is not easy to get free time nowadays for Shika. Tsunade was making him go though the ropes in the Hospital. He didn't like it but didn't retaliate either just because he was getting direct learning under Tsunade.

He could instantly heal others and himself in seconds with Reverse Curse Technique but that doesn't mean he has enough knowledge of human autonomy to do anything more. There are times when normal healing, no matter how powerful, is just not enough and one need more in-depth knowledge about medicines to heal others.

He long wanted to learn Medical Jujutsu but maybe becuase of time or becuase he had no one to teach, he never came to learn it. So now that he was getting knowledge under Tsunade he took the opportunity.

But this also means that he wasn't getting enough time to train himself or spend some time with Hinata. That last one was especially a sour point for him, he couldn't even give that poor girl the treat he promised her and that was two freaking months ago.

Sigh…

Though he was putting his clones to work almost everyday. But even this his training also suffered quite a bit for this.

And today was the day when he finally got some time to spend with Hinata. He had to fought tooth and nail to get one free day from hospital, had to say that Tsunade when it comes to it was a slave driver.

Though he was sure that she had some personal vendetta against him.

'Maybe I shouldn't have stop Mahoraga after all.' Shika ponders with irritation on his face.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about his misery, he directly went to the spot where both him and Hinata decided to meet.

This wasn't exactly a date, Shika promised Hinata to treat her with anything she wanted. But he wouldn't mind making this a real date, he liked Hinata, not just due to the anime he watch but the girl here was also someone he liked.

He is not sure what her attitude is towards Naruto but if possible he would like to pursue her.

No loss at trying right !

It was on to Hinata where she wanted to go, the girl chose Ramen stand again for some reason?

He honestly wanted to bring her somewhere good but it seems that she like Ramen more ?

'Or maybe she didn't want to be seen alone with me by someone else in a big enough place. Ramen stand after all is a place where everyone once in a while arrives and eat, it's pretty normal.' Shika thought and the more he was thinking the more depressing things was becoming.

Sigh.

Soon Hinata came, she was on time, it was Shika who came there at the stand before time.

"Shika Kun…" Hinata call out as she entered the stand making her presence known.

Shika notice that she wasn't wearing her normal baggy coat and pants.

It was a shirt which well showcase her curves, and with that she wore Anbu style pants.

It was more similar to how many Kuniochi dress in the village nowadays.

"You are looking good Hinata." Shika complimented.

"Ah.. hmm thank you." Hinata replied blushing and sat down beside him.

The look wasn't feminine but more like a battle-hardened female warrior.It was very suitable and modest for a kunoiche but on her…

On her even this was looking hot…

'A little too developed for her own good.' Shika practically had to drag her eyes away from her and asked her to order.

"Uncle bring whatever she wasn't, everything on me today." Shika said making the Ramen guy and her daughter who was staring at both of them and her smile got moving.

"So Hinata, how have you been, its been some time since the Chunin exam…how things are going." Shika started a casual conversation.

"Everything's good. After the exam Father started teaching me again and my training has been going good so far." Hinata smile and replied.

"You sure looked happy." Shika smile.

"Hmmm hum." Hinata nodded while her face stuff with noodles, looking quite like a hamster.

'Kawaii….' But he won't say it.

"Ah there it is, Hamster Hinata. I can die in peace now." Shika laughed making the girl who was eating the ramen with ferocity almost choke and then glare at Shika with her cute look.

Huffing she turn back like she was angry on him and solely focus on eating, though she still didn't bother about not looking like a hamster in front of him.

"Sorry sorry, I couldn't help it, you looked too cute like that for me to not to point out." Shika replied whlie taking a bite of his Ramen, he can't eat like Hinata nor he can complete few Dorzen of bawls. So to avoid running out of food and then awkwardly sitting there, he only took a small bit.

Hinata didn't turn to Shika even now, though this time the reason was more becuase there was a huge blush on her face right now.

'Who calls someone else cute this openly… Hmph'

This wasn't the date he anticipated but he liked it so far.

"Oh, by the way, how is Team 8… It's been so long since I caught up with them, I should have met with Kurenai sensei and others but the hospital work is not giving me any time…" Shika said trying to turn the conversation around, he knew that Hinata wasn't angry or anything but will keep acting like she is until she has a way to turn that around.

"Oh they all are fine, Kurenai sensei did tell me to tell you that you should not cheap out on your Genjutsu training." Hinata said with a pout like knowing that he was trying to change the conversation.

"Yeah, unfortunately, I have to disappoint her on that, I really have almost zero time on my hands nowadays. Tsunade is a slave driver." Shika said with a deadpan look on his face, wondering what kind of bad life choices he had made over the years.

But hearing this Hinata's eyes widen, her small mouth open up and her eyebrows raise up.

"You are learning under Tsunade Sama." Hinata just like other Kunoiches was a big fan of Tsunade.

"Learning is not how I will describe it, more like surviving her somehow." Shika roll his eyes with pure righteous fury in his tone. Both he masked it well.

"You shouldn't tell that about Tsunade Sama, Shika Kun. Do you know she is one of the…" Hinata was saying but Shika cut her off midway.

"I know…I know… One of the Sannin, only living Senju, Princess of leaf, greatest medical ninja alive blah blah blah… I know all of it.

But its still doesn't make my suffering under her any less." Shika said with off tone like trying not to go on a rant about that vile woman.

Hinata didn't look very happy about this and wanted to say something more but before that, Shika just changed the conversation altogether.

"Okay okay.. lets not talk about that. Tell me about yourself, how is your training is going on. If you are learning under your father then you must have gotten real strong right ?" Shika asked, trying to convert the conversation to something else, anything else.

"Yeah, father taught me many powerful techniques of the clan and now my food budget has also increased," Hinata reply happily. Not minding Shika trying to avoid the previous topic altogether.

"Good…"
