Naruto shows himself

Naruto's voice rang out loudly over the small pond.

"Hey Hinata, I like your new outfit. It really suits you."

As Hinata heard those words, her mind froze in humiliation and fear even while her body jumped straight behind a tree near the rock where her clothes were SUPPOSED to be. Given the fact that it was Naruto of all people who had found her, her face probably could have been used as a comfortable reading light at this point.

"N-N-N-N-Naruto? W-What are y-you doing here?!" It was bad enough that her clothes had somehow disappeared, now Naruto had seen her naked! At least he might lend her-

"Oh, I saw you dancing out here, so I decided to stay and watch for a while" He said nonchalantly.

Hinata's mind broke down again at the fact that not only had Naruto seen her naked, he'd apparently been watching for quite some time.

"What's more, I decided that since you're so beautiful naked, I'll keep you that way for the rest of the mission."

Even if her mind was currently stuck in a cycle of 'OH MY GOD, HE SAW ME NAKED' 'CLOTHES! CLOTHES! I NEED CLOTHES!' 'I hope he liked what he saw' and 'WHY WON'T THE GROUND JUST SWALLOW ME UP ALREADY' she was still a ninja, so she caught one important detail in what Naruto said.

"W-wait. W-what do you m-mean you'll keep me n-n-naked?"

"Exactly that Hinata! I've stolen all your clothes and hidden them away in the forest. Oh, except for your headband of course, I think I knocked it off the rock, but it should still be around there somewhere."

As a matter of fact it was right next to her foot, but Hinata was more concerned with the fact that Naruto had stolen all of her clothing for the mission! She was beyond happy that he apparently thought that she was that beautiful, but she SO wished that he'd found some other way to express it.

"I-I'm... happy that you think I'm b-beautiful N-Naruto, but could I p-please have my clothes back?"

Naruto didn't even think before he gave his answer. "Nope, but if you're a good sport and don't cover up or hide the entire mission, I'll give them back before we return to the Hidden Leaf! That way you won't have to walk all the way back home buck naked. Although, to be honest, I'd like it better if you were naked forever."

As much as Naruto's declaration that if he were to have his way she'd be a nudist both exhilarated and terrified her, she recognized that he wouldn't back down on this. As embarrassed as she was, she was going to have to spend the rest of the mission in her birthday suit unless she somehow managed to convince Naruto that he couldn't just keep her naked. Or she could just do it and enjoy the fact that Naruto found her beautiful.
