Ah-! I didn't mean to- Um, I- I suppose if I do this instead--

[The journal switches to written after that short, accidental audio message from a soft-spoken, yet obviously tired young woman. The text that follows is written after a few moments, though.]

My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I am looking for

If anyone out there is kind enough to give me directions, or perhaps a map, to this place, I will be very much grateful.

I need to go back to the place I came from to help a good friend in need.

Please.

Thank you and I apologize for the bother.

[Hinata ends her short message and keeps the journal close to her. She knows the name of this place, has gone through her fair share of freaking out before finally turning to her journal for help. She activates her Byakugan for the third time since getting here to search for clues but she can't keep using her bloodline like this. This is probably the last time she can with how low her chakra is right now.]

[It's not like he's ever been good with recognizing the subtle changes in a girl's emotions or how they act. He's too dense and sometimes terrible with a certain type of empathy when it comes to girls. It's a shounen guys only recognize the emotions of other guys.

But he does realize SOMETHING is up, which does make him feel concerned because 1) she's a friend and 2) she's done some important things for him as of late.]

Alright, I'm still gonna come find you.

[He'll probably show up after Sakura or something.]

And don't let anybody make you feel worried. I don't plan on us sticking around here long, so we'll all be okay.

[She's not exactly sure what seeing Naruto, alright and without any signs of dying, will do to her. But she doesn't comment on that.]

Thank you for your concern, Naruto-kun...

[There's a small smile on her lips even when he can't see it.]

And your kind words. I, well, I'll wait for you. I'm very glad you are doing alright.

[There. She sounds a little better at least, so he's back to being cheerful as well.]

Same for you, Hinata! I'll be there in a bit.

Alright, I'll wait for you.

[Yes, it really doesn't take much for Naruto to be able to make her feel better even when they're stuck in some weird place and she's running on low chakra.]

Please be careful.
