What the Eyes see, Their bodies believe
Chapter Two: What the eyes see, their bodies believe…
Hyuuga Hiashi, despite appearances, was not a ‘cold’ man.
His cold demeanor aside, he could enjoy a good joke just as much as the next man. In his younger days, he was even known to crack a few (a fact that his former teammate Tsume still loved to point out).
Though he was harsh towards his daughters, it was out of love. His choice to ‘cast aside’ Hinata, was based on more than her own lack of skill with the Hyuuga clan’s Jyuken taijutsu style - he did it because she would have collapsed under the horrendous pressure of being the clan head.
The pale eyed man was kneeling before the shrine to his late wife, Hinamori, offering his daily prayers to her spirit when his personal branch house attendant knocked on the door.
“You may enter, Mosa-kun,” he said, allowing the young man to open the sliding door.
The young man was plain -even by Hyuuga standards-, but he was reliable, and fairly skilled in the jyuken. More than that however, he was one of the few members of the clan that Hiashi truly trusted.
“Forgive the intrusion, Hiashi-sama,” the young man replied, bowing his crew-cut head to the floor, “Hokage-sama has requested your presence in the tower at your earliest convenience.”
“Hardly a reason for you to interrupt my morning prayers,” Hiashi said, a slight trace of annoyance in his tone.
“I would have waited, sir,” Mosa replied, “But the message was delivered by Hatake Kakashi-sama himself.”
That got the Hyuuga patriarch’s attention. “Kakashi?” he muttered. It was a rare event indeed when Konoha’s number one jounin visited the number one clan’s compound. Especially given the ’bad blood’ between him and the clan.
Once more, Hiashi cursed the clan elders in his mind, thinking about the tragic fall of Hatake Sakumo and their role in it.
“Is he still waiting?” Hiashi asked, closing the doors to his wife’s shrine.
“Yes, Hiashi-sama,” Mosa replied, “He said he’d wait for you. I was unable to determine what Hokage-sama wishes to speak to you about.”
Hiashi grunted. “Most likely some council issue he needs my support on,” he muttered, standing and walking out of the small room. He allowed Mosa to lead him towards the entrance to the compound, noting the training sessions several of the branch family children were having in jyuken. Sadly, none of them had the same prodigious talent of his nephew Neji.
A few moments later, he stood looking at the silver haired jounin, noting with some displeasure the orange covered book in his hand.
“Hatake-san,” he greeted, with a slight nod of his head, “Must you read that near my clan’s domain?”
“Well, it was just getting to the good part,” Kakashi replied, “See, it turns out that Sayuri and Konoko are actually twin sisters separated at birth! And they still want to explore each others…”
“I am well aware of the trash Jiraiya-sama writes,” Hiashi muttered, frowning as he saw Mosa with a slight tinge to his cheeks. “I believe Hokage-sama has requested my presence?”
“Yes, well, I guess I can wait till later,” the masked man replied, swiftly pocketing the book in his vest. “Shall we?”
“With haste,” Hiashi muttered, the pair forming matching hitsugi seals, utilizing the shunshin no jutsu to move swiftly through the village and appear before the Hokage tower. “I assume you know the reason to this summons?”
“I do,” Kakashi replied, “But it’s best discussed all together. Sarutobi-sama will have a few…ideas…about how its too be done.”
Hiashi raised left eyebrow in curiosity. “And just what is to be…done?” he asked, as the pair entered the tower, walking towards Sarutobi’s office.
“You’ll see in just a moment,” Kakashi replied, pushing the door open for the stoic man.
Hiashi was surprised to see that the Hokage was not alone in the office. His meetings with Sarutobi were often held behind closed doors, without even a secretary present to serve tea.
Given Sarutobi’s constant political struggle with Danzo, it was just common sense.
The sight of the orange clad blonde was…unexpected, as was Kakashi walking in as well. It was a greater surprise when the silver haired jounin closed the doors, before applying a seal tag to the upper and lower stanchions of the entryway.
“Fuin jutsu: Naisho Shouheki,” Kakashi intoned, snapping a few quick seals off before applying chakra to the seal tags.
Hiashi frowned, before turning to Sarutobi. “Given that Uzumaki-san is here, and that you had Hatake-san apply a privacy seal to the room, I gather that this is more than just our usual ‘strategy’ sessions regarding the council,” he muttered.
“Indeed,” Sarutobi replied, lighting his pipe with a small application of fire-chakra, “This meeting is far more important.” He motioned towards Naruto. “Use your Byakugan, Hiashi-san. Tell me what you see.”
Hiashi frowned, before looking at the blond. “You know that most people would consider this a horrific breach of privacy,” he said, causing the blond to frown in confusion.
“I don’t,” Naruto replied, “It’s what your eyes do. Why should I be upset about what you can do?”
Hiashi had no response to that. With a sigh, the Hyuuga head activated his doujutsu, his eyes narrowing as he spied the changes in Naruto’s chakra network.
“You have a pool of chakra around your eyes,” he muttered. “The pattern…is almost…the ‘shape‘ of the chakra is similar to the Byakugan!”
“Now you see why I called you, Hiashi-san,” Sarutobi spoke up, “During his team’s first C-Rank mission, Naruto came into contact with his…tenant.”
Hiashi snapped his head to the side, looking at the Hokage in surprise. “I was…unaware that this topic was allowed for discussion now,” he muttered.
“I’ve known about the Kyuubi for a few months now,” Naruto spoke up, “She ‘woke up’ my new doujutsu to help me with a pretty difficult battle during that mission.”
“The details are in this folder, Hiashi-san,” Sarutobi said, pushing a thin folder towards the man, “I think you’ll find the data we’ve collected so far to be…intriguing, to say the least.”
Hiashi reached forward, opening the folder and scanning the documents within. “I see you’ve already labeled this an A-Class secret,” he muttered, “…some penetration abilities…slight genjutsu properties…possible applications for both interrogation and inflitration…” Hiashi’s eyes widened as he read the name of the doujutsu. “The…Kouingan?”
“The fox has…a quirky sense of humor,” Naruto shrugged.
Hiashi looked over at Sarutobi again. “From what I can see, Uzumaki-san’s eyes don’t see chakra, like the Byakugan does - rather, he sees the electrical impulses that play throughout the body,” he said, “Though, I still don’t see why its being called a ’seduction’ eye.”
Sarutobi nodded, pulling another file from his desk. “It relates to the ’interrogation’ possibilities of his eyes,” the aged kage replied, “This is the file we’ve put together on the ninja that Naruto fought, leading to the awakening of his eyes.”
Hiashi scanned the document. “Name: Haku. Clan: suspected to be the Retsuhana of Mizu no Kuni. Kekkei Genkai: Elemental manipulation - Hyoton,” he muttered, “Current status:…” Hiashi cast a sharp look at the blonde boy.
“I couldn’t just let her die,” Naruto replied, “Kyuubi told me about the law that the Shodai created. I’m not happy about what I did, but she didn’t deserve to die!”
Hiashi frowned. “She was your enemy,” he replied, “She was a threat to your team and your mission. Why did you feel that she deserved mercy?”
“…we both know how I’ve been treated because of Kitsu-chan,” Naruto replied, Hiashi frowning at the nickname, “Haku-chan suffered much the same in her home country because of the Bloodline Massacres. When I first met her, she told me that a person truly becomes strong when they have someone precious to protect.” The blonde looked up at the white eyed man. “Despite the danger she presented to my friends and myself, I couldn’t just let her die! She’s a good person, and she deserves a chance at happiness. I’m going to give that to her…even if I have to be her ’master’ to do it.”
Hiashi found himself nodding as he listened to the boy’s impassioned speech. *I expressed my doubts about him to Sarutobi before,* he thought, watching the boy’s eyes firm up in resolve. *I was concerned that his reasons for his goals - simple acknowledgement - were too selfish to allow him to truly grow as a ninja. This Haku has changed that…and I find myself curious as to how far that change goes.*
“It’s only a matter of time before the council and the clans receive word of Naruto-kun’s new kekkei genkai,” Kakashi spoke up. “Given its similarities to both your clan’s Byakugan, and the genjutsu abilities of the Kurama clan, you can bet that the council will be demanding that he be married into a clan to ’spread it around’.”
“More than that, Kakashi-san,” Hiashi replied, “I know that the elders of my clan will demand that he be inducted into the clan and branded with the caged bird seal, as they tried before.”
Kakashi growled at that, turning to Sarutobi. “Is this true?” he asked, ignoring Naruto’s confused look.
“I blocked the attempt,” Sarutobi replied, “There were similar moves attempted by both the Uchiha and the Yamanaka clans, but fortunately I was able to block them as well. However, this time I don’t think I’d be as lucky.”
“Knowing my clan elders as I do, they will try and petition the Fire Lord himself to order the induction,” Hiashi said, “Given our current ties with him, I’m fairly certain he would agree to the request. Kyohaku-sama was my father’s best friend after all.”
“I’ve prepared a dispatch for him that I’m sending off after this meeting is concluded,” Sarutobi replied, “I’m inviting him here to meet with me in one weeks time to discuss the upcoming Chuunin Exams…”
“Chuunin exams!?!” Naruto shouted, causing the adults to wince.
“We can discuss that later, Naruto-kun,” Kakashi replied, “For now, please keep your voice down and listen.”
“Sorry, sensei,” the blonde replied.
“Ahem, as I was saying,” Sarutobi continued, “I’ll be discussing the issue regarding Naruto-kun’s kekkei genkai with him at that time. For now, we need to keep this as quiet as possible. The ANBU who witnessed Naruto’s…breaking…of the Haku girl have already sworn to secrecy, and I’m certain Kakashi’s team will keep it quiet if ordered.”
“I know I will, jiji!” Naruto grinned, causing the Hokage to chuckle slightly.
“I’m sure, Naruto-kun,” he replied, “Now, that leaves your clan, Hiashi-san. Given the way things are, can you guarantee that this will be kept secret?”
Hiashi frowned. “In regards to myself, my personal attendant Hyuuga Mosa, and perhaps my daughters, then yes, it can be kept secret,” he replied, “However, beyond that, I cannot be certain. The elders hold much sway over the branch family, both via the curse seal and ordinary familial loyalty. My position as clan head is…tenuous…at best, given my refusal to have Hinata sealed.”
“Hinata…that girl who always fainted in class?” Naruto asked, “She’s your daughter?”
Hiashi nodded. “Hinata is my eldest daughter,” he answered, “She is a gentle spirit, and a very respectful person. However, she lacks the talent with our clan’s special taijutsu style that her sister Hanabi has, and her timidity makes her a poor choice for the position of heiress. The elders have been pushing me for almost two years now to have her branded with the curse seal and moved into the branch family.”
Naruto frowned. “Just because she’s not some stuck up princess?” he asked, “That’s just…mean!”
Sarutobi nodded. “It seems so, Naruto-kun,” he replied, “However, it is an internal clan matter, and one that you cannot interfere in. You’ll find that there are a great many things you can and cannot do when you were this hat.”
Hiashi nodded. “I will need to speak with my daughters about this, as well as Mosa-kun,” he said, “Most likely, if I am to help train you in the use of your new doujutsu, Naruto-san, then it will have to be in a place where there will be no prying eyes.”
Kakashi grunted. “Would my sensei’s private training ground work for that?” he asked, startling the other three occupents. “Minato-sensei’s personal training grounds are marked with a number of specialized seals that he designed specifically for countering doujutsu.” His one visible eye crinkled into its trademarked ’smile’. “He did like his privacy, now and again.”
Hiashi and Sarutobi nodded. “It would probably be best,” Sarutobi replied, “Only Jiraiya, myself, and Kakashi know the specific location of Minato-kun’s old haunt. If the privacy seals are still in working order, then it would be the ideal location for training.”
Naruto was practically bouncing in glee. *Training to get even stronger!* he couldn’t help but cackle in his mind.
*Pay attention, bozu~!* the voice of Kitsu penetrated his consciousness.
Hiashi nodded. “If we include my children in this, then I shall need to discuss things with Hinata’s jounin sensei,” he said, “If you could have her meet me at my clan’s compound, Hokage-sama?”
Sarutobi nodded, eying Naruto’s almost gleeful face. “Kurenai-san and Team Eight are on a C-rank courier mission at the moment,” he said, “I expect them back in two days. They are currently at our ally village Hoshigakure.”
Hiashi nodded. “I shall speak with both Hinata, Hanabi, and Mosa when they return,” he said. Turning to Naruto, he adopted an even sterner look. “I will not be lenient with you, Naruto-san. This is an incredible responsibility you now bear - if you slack off, even for one moment, then the results will be…very unpleasant.”
“I never back down!” Naruto replied, looking up into Hiashi’s eyes defiantly. “I promise, you’ll get nothing but my best! I never go back on my word - its my nindo!”
Kakashi grinned beneath his mask. “That’s good, Naruto,” he said, “But don’t exhaust yourself during your sessions with Hiashi-san. I will be expecting your continued hard work during our regular team meetings as well.”
“You’ll get it, dattebayo!” Naruto grinned, flashing a thumbs up.
*When did he meet Gai!?!* the three men wondered, shuddering at the ‘Gai-esque’ pose the blond had adopted.
*It won’t be just them working you~kyaaa!* the Kyuubi thought, keeping her chuckles from the enthusiastic blond. *I have such fun things in store~jaro. Fu fu fu fu fu fu fuuuuuu!*
oOoOoOo
Haku rubbed at the metallic collar that encircled her throat for the twentieth time in eight minutes.
The device was almost seamless, only a small bump near the back signifying that it had been soddered together. The gun metal grey color blended into her ANBU issued shift, making it almost impossible to tell she was a slave, rather than a standard prisoner.
The dress - if it could be called that - was extremely short, ending almost four inches above her knees, and leaving her arms completely bare. She continually had to adjust her position, as the damn thing kept trying to creep up her legs and expose that fact that she had not been given any panties.
She knew it was pointless, given that until her surrender to Naruto she’d been naked the entire time she’d been imprisoned in the ANBU’s Interrogation and Torture department, but she was a girl - she did have some modesty left.
The door to her cell opened, and she looked up to see the purple haired ANBU who had been assisting the scarred man torture her walk in. Part of her wanted to lash out at the woman, to pay her back for the whips and the hot wax that she had used, but she reigned in her impulse.
Not only would it not do any good - the seals engraved in the metal of her collar would sap her chakra before she could even finish her first string of hand seals - but her new master would be the one to pay the price for her actions.
“You probably won’t believe me,” the woman spoke, her voice coming out somewhat muffled beneath her mask, “But I am sorry about what was done to you, as is Ibiki-taicho. He hates having to use actual pain to get people to talk.”
Haku sighed. “I do not blame you for doing your duties,” she replied, “Part of me will always resent you, but I can move past it.” She tugged at the hem of her ‘dress’ again. “I don’t suppose a slightly…longer shift could be arranged?”
The ANBU shook her head. “Technically, until Naruto-kun finishes the paperwork for claiming you, you’re still a prisoner,” she replied. “The rules state that you’re still subject to random searches by ANBU personnel. Ibiki-taicho usually just keeps all prisoners in the complex naked until they’re either executed, or transferred to Naki-kaijin prison.” (Weeping Ash)
Haku sighed, nodding. “I understand,” she muttered.
“Listen, I wanted to talk to you about…what Naruto-san did,” the ANBU spoke up, “I know it has something to do with his doujutsu, and I’d like to…understand it.”
Haku shuddered as her body recalled the sensations Naruto had forced her to experience while under the watch of those eyes. She instinctively clenched her ass, remembering how his fingers had teased the muscles back there, providing a delightfully ticklish sensation that had caused her insides to almost melt.
“What was it like?” the purple tressed woman asked, “Was it just how his hands made you feel, or was it the eyes?”
The dark haired girl closed her eyes, sighing as the memories washed over her. “It…I can’t…” she muttered, “His hands…when he started using chakra with them, it was like I was being caressed by warm winds, but my skin was made even more sensitive…” She sighed, squeezing her legs together as she felt the heat build in her loins from the memory. “His eyes…I…I felt so…[i]exposed[/i]…when he looked at me.”
“Exposed?” the woman asked, watching as the girl squirmed in her chair.
“I was naked,” Haku replied, opening her eyes to stare at the ANBU, “But…it was like he could [b]see[/b] every part of me at once, in the truest sense of the word! He could see into my mind…my body…and he could bend it to his will!”
“And…when he brought you to orgasm the first time?” her interrogator asked.
“It was like I was being bathed in light,” Haku sighed, panting as her hardened nipples rubbed against the course cloth of her shift. “I thought that I’d be less sensitive after that…”
“But you were wrong,” the ANBU replied.
Haku nodded, her face flushing red as she remembered how Naruto had brought forth an almost constant stream of orgasms during those hours he interrogated her. “I…I could…never have imagined…” she whispered. “His eyes…it was so…”
“Intense?”
“Beyond that, even,” the girl replied, bowing her head to hide her embarrassment. She moved her hands up to her collar once again. “And now I’m his property,” she whispered, “Before I was just…a broken tool. Without Zabuza-sama…he was…”
“The father you should have had,” a new voice interrupted, causing the two women to look over at the entrance to the cell.
Naruto stood there, the ANBU Washi standing behind him. Naruto held a bundle of cloth in his hands as he walked into the small room. “Hokage-jiji wants to meet you, Haku-chan,” he said, holding out the bundle. “I remembered that pink kimono you were wearing when we first met, so I picked up one that was like that.” He blushed slightly. “It’s…not exactly like it, but I hope its alright.”
Haku smiled as she picked up the bundle. “I’m sure it’ll be just fine, Naruto-sama,” she said. She looked over at the eagle masked ANBU, swallowing slightly. “Ummm…could I…”
The purple haired ANBU stood up, moving to the door. “Naruto-kun here can handle escorting you to Sarutobi-sama,” she said, “Come on, Washi. We have some reports to finish.”
The stocky man chuckled. “Okay, Neko,” he replied, “Let’s go.” He turned to Naruto, flashing him a thumbs-up. “Nice job with her, kid. Come see me when you make chuunin…I’d like to bounce some ideas off you regarding the method you used.”
Naruto and Haku both blushed at that. The two adults chuckled, before walking out. The blond boy sighed then, before looking over at his new…slave.
“If you want, I’ll turn around,” he offered, surprising the girl.
“…why?” she asked, “You’ve…already seen my body. It belongs to you now…if you ordered it, I would have to walk out in public completely unclothed.”
Naruto gulped. “That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some respect,” he replied. “Other people might not think like that…but I know what it’s like to be stared at when you don’t want it.” He reached out to put his hand on her shoulders. “The law may say that you’re my…slave…but as far as I’m concerned? You’re my friend, first and foremost.”
Haku felt tears well up in her eyes at this gesture, before enveloping the boy in a hug. “I swear…” she whispered, “I will never abuse this trust…Naruto-sama.”
She stepped back, reaching down to the hem of her uniform. “I don’t mind…if its you looking,” she said, pulling the shift up and off.
Naruto swallowed, gazing upon his girl’s nude form. Once again, he frowned at the various welts that decorated her legs and abdomen, and he outright scowled as she turned around, showing the lines from the whips that had been played across her backside and rear.
Haku found herself oddly comforted by Naruto’s outrage at her injuries, even as she pulled on the pink kimono. The embroidery was different to the black spirals her old kimono had - instead, white lotus blossoms decorated the fabric, and a blue obi to hold it closed.
She frowned as she noticed a certain…lack…of items.
“There…are no panties,” she muttered, causing Naruto to blush.
“Ah-heh-heh-heh,” the blond boy chuckled weekly. “I…uh…did bring some for you.” She turned to him, an eyebrow raised. “I had to…borrow them…from my teammate Sakura.” he reached into his pants pocked. “She was…embarrassed, but she said they were the only spare pair she had.” He held out a small bundle of black cloth.
Haku picked it up, and stared. “A…a G-STRING!?!” she squeaked, her face flushing red as she looked at the miniscule garment.
Naruto nodded, his own face bright red as well. “It was the best I could do!” he said, “Honest!”
His dark haired slave sighed, but nodded. She bent down, sliding them up her legs to cup her mound. “It…will do,” she replied.
She finished getting dressed.
oOoOoOo
Hiashi watched as his eldest child and her team walked back into the village. They had arrived a day earlier than expected.
Hinata’s teached, Yuuhi Kurenai, spotted him immediately upon crossing the threshold of the village gates. He ignored the cold gaze she directed his way, and focused on his child.
“Hinata,” he spoke, inwardly sighing as the girl seemed to flinch under his gaze.
“F-father,” she stuttered.
“I have come to retrieve you,” he said, “There is an important matter that we need to discuss back at the clan compound.”
“Excuse me, Hyuuga-sama,” Kurenai spoke up, drawing his attention, “We just got back from a C-rank mission, and must report to Hokage-sama about its success.”
“Sarutobi-sama knows of the issue I am refering to, Yuuhi-san,” he replied, “He will understand if Hinata is not present. This is a clan matter.”
“A-ano…Kurenai-sensei,” the pale-eyed girl stuttered, causing her Aburame and Inuzuka teammates to glance at her, “I’m…sure its important…Kiba-kun can bring my share of the payment to me later.”
The raven haired woman sighed, before nodding. “Very well,” she said, “We’re off duty for the week anyway. I want you all to meet at Training Ground 29 next Tuesday.” She looked over at Hiashi. “I hope that won’t interfere with your clan business.”
“It should not,” he replied, “Come, Hinata.”
“Y-yes, father,” the girl replied, walking off with him.
Hiashi waited till her team was out of sight, before looking down at his child. “Hinata,” he said, drawing her attention, “A very important discovery has been made recently. Our clan has been asked to help someone with a very…powerful gift.”
His blue haired daughter looked up. “W-what do you mean?” she asked.
“Follow me,” he said, leading her down an alley. She followed, frowning as she realized that they were actually heading [i]away[/i] from the clan’s grounds.
The pair traveled in silence for a few moments, before coming to a fairly nondescript building with no signs. Hiashi quickly snapped off a trio of hand seals, placing his hands against the wall.
Hinata gasped as she saw the wall [I]ripple[/I] slightly, before her father turned to her. “Walk forward, Hinata,” he said.
“Y-yes,” she whispered, walking towards…and then TRHOUGH the wall.
She blinked for a few moments, before gasping as she saw her little sister Hanabi and her father’s attendant Mosa kneeling before the Hokage. Next to the aged leader of the village was a strange jounin with silver hair and a slanted hitai-ate.
There was a girl in a pink kimono kneeling next to a tea service, and Hinata frowned as she spied a slave collar around her neck. As a member of one of Konoha’s ‘noble’ clans, Hinata was familiar with the Laws of the Shodai, and she wondered how such a pretty girl could have wound up someone’s property.
“Hey, Hinata-san!”
Hinata found herself stiffening in shock, looking over to the other side of the room.
The orange jumpsuit…the wild blond hair…those amazing blue eyes…
“N-n-n-naruto-k-k-k-kun!” she gasped, before collapsing in a faint.
“Onee-sama!” the smallest occupent cried, running to her sister’s side.
“Easy, Hanabi-chan,” Hiashi spoke up, smiling as Naruto and his slave girl moved to help his eldest to a cushion. “Hinata was just…surprised.”
“Yes, father,” Hanabi replied, holding a cup of water to her elder sister’s lips.
oOoOoOo
When she came too, Hinata was surprised to see that the situation was not a dream.
Her ‘secret crush’ was kneeling next to the slave girl, who had identified herself as Haku. Part of her was insanely jealous at how…affectionate…he was to her, though she quickly stamped that part down.
Naruto’s kindness and friendly nature was what made him special - she could not be upset at that.
The girl, Haku, poured the four Hyuuga each a cup of tea. Hinata was shocked at what happened next.
Hanabi accidentally tipped her cup as she picked it up, the green liquid spilling onto her small hands. “ITAI!” she cried, dropping the cup and further spilling the hot tea around her.
“Hanabi-chan!” the elder sister cried, pulling the smaller girl towards herself to examine the scalded fingers.
“Hyuuga-sama,” the slave girl spoke up, “If I may?”
Hinata looked up to see Haku gently take her sniffling sister’s hands in her own, the hands glowing slightly with chakra. Hinata watched, fascinated, as the air around her sister’s hands cooled, causing Hanabi to breath a sigh of relief.
“So, this is an example of her Hyoton kekkei genkai,” Hiashi spoke up, causing Hinata’s eyes to widen.
*Hyoton?* she thought.
She spotted something out of the corner of her eye, and she turned, gasping as she saw Naruto’s hands locked together in the hitsuugi seal. She gulped, fearing what this entailed, as she looked to Haku’s collar.
Several of the seal engravings were glowing.
For a moment, Hinata was sure her heart would break - the idea, the very NOTION, that Naruto would [I]enslave[/I] a person, was an affront to her senses.
“Everything will be explained, Hinata-chan,” the calming voice of Sarutobi penetrated her thoughts, causing her to look at the venerable old man. “Naruto, I think that should be enough.”
“Okay,” he said, “Haku-chan. Stop now please.”
“Yes, Naruto-sama,” the slave girl replied, letting her chakra recede, leaving Hanabi’s hands cooled.
The smallest Hyuuga sniffled slightly, but looked up into Haku’s eyes. “Thank…you,” she said.
Haku nodded, smiling slightly, before moving to take her place at Naruto’s side.
“Now, we need to get this meeting started,” Sarutobi said, “First off…Hinata-chan, what you, your sister, and Mosa-kun here, are about to learn is considered to be at the very least an ‘A’ class secret. You must not speak of it to anyone who does not already know - if you do, the penalty is extremely severe.”
Hiashi looked at his two daughters. “The best you could hope for, if you break this secret,” he said, his stern gaze causing the two to flinch (though Hinata’s was more pronounced than her sister’s), “Is a month under the care of the ANBU’s Torture and Interrogation department, followed by life imprisonment at Naki-kaijin.”
Hinata gasped. While her little sister wasn’t sure what that meant, she knew of the horrible prison - only traitors and murderers were ever sent there, and none had ever escaped.
It was kind of hard to flee when you were surrounded on all sides by a valley filled with fumes from a volcano.
Mosa, who had been silent till now, frowned. “Forgive me, Hiashi-sama, Hokage-sama,” he spoke up, “But if this is supposed to be a secret, why then are Uzumaki-san and his…servant…here?”
“Because the secret’s about me,” Naruto spoke up. Hinata frowned as her crush looked over to Sarutobi, who nodded to him. “During my team’s first C-rank mission, something happened to me…I awoke my own kekkei genkai.”
The three Hyuuga’s gasped.
“Hiashi-sama knows about it already,” the blond continued, “He says that the way my chakra works with it is apparently a lot like your Byakugan.“ Here, he brought a hand to the back of his head, rubbing it as he actually BLUSHED. “Though, mine does have a few…quirks.”
“Ano,” Hinata spoke up, “Does…i-i-it have…something to d-do with…your…”
“You may call me a slave, Hyuuga-sama,” Haku said, causing the girl to ‘eep’ in embarrassment. “I have fully accepted my new role in life. I find no shame in it.”
Hinata nodded, before looking at Naruto again.
“Yeah, it does,” he explained. He pulled a set of files out from beneath the table, handing them to Hinata and Mosa. “The details are in there.”
Hinata opened the file, reading the contents even as Hanabi tried to peak at the data (while being held back by her father). Mosa started chuckling after a few minutes, while Hinata turned bright red.
“K-k-k-k-k-kouingan!?!” she squeaked.
Sarutobi chuckled, even as he took a puff from his ever present pipe. “Naruto-kun always has been one for…surprises,” he said, as if that explained it all.
The blond boy grinned sheepishly. “Hey, at least I make life interesting!” he said, causing the adults to chuckle, while his slave merely smiled serenely.
“As you can see, Naruto-san is in need of training,” Hiashi said, looking at his two daughters, as well as his attendant. “I have volunteered to oversee this. However, to keep the council from knowing about it till the proper time, we need to keep things…hidden.”
Sarutobi spoke next. “We’ve already arranged for all of you to use the Yondaime’s personal training ground,” he said, causing both Hanabi and Hinata to gasp in surprise. “On days when Hiashi-san is unable to train him, I will be asking you, Hinata-chan, to help him. Much of Naruto’s current focus needs to be chakra control, and according to academy records you were the number two student in that regard.”
Hinata blushed, but nodded. “I w-work extremel-ly hard at it,” she replied.
“Wow, that’s awesome, Hinata-san!” Naruto exclaimed, causing the poor girl to blush even more.
Hiashi nodded. “I will be pushing Naruto-san, Hanabi-chan, and yourself in the next few weeks,” he said, “When I am not present, Mosa-kun will take over. You will all be working on something that has not been done in the history of our clan…”
“…varaitions on the jyuken.”
Hanabi and Hinata both gasped in shock, while Mosa’s eyes narrowed. “Hiashi-sama, if the elders find out that you even said that…” the young branch member muttered.
“I am well aware of the consequences,” Hiashi replied. “I feel that this is worth the risk. Too long our clan has remained stagnant, like a mill pond. Naruto-san’s doujutsu allows for a…unique…opportunity.”
The leader of the Hyuuga clan turned to his eldest. “For a long time, I have not acted like a supportive parent to you, Hinata,” he said, causing the blue haired girl to avert her eyes. “The fault is not with you, but with me. I was blind to the fact that you are not truly suited to our families art…as it is now.”
Hinata had been shrinking in on herself till this point, while Naruto scowled at Hiashi’s words. When Hiashi finished his statement, the pair looked at him in shock. “Naruto-san has pointed out to me that you cannot always go with one method to win,” he said, “Sometimes, you must do things that are against the norm. His actions with his new slave, Haku, are an example.”
The normally stern man placed his hands upon his daughters heads, causing the two of them to gape at their parent in shock. “The clan must change,” he said, “Or I will have failed Hizashi.”
Sarutobi smiled, ducking his head so the expression was hidden by the brim of his pointed hat. *Changing things for the better already Naruto-kun,* he thought, *Your parents would be proud.*
Hinata truly felt like this was as close to nirvana as she would ever get. “W-w-when should we st-start…father?” she asked.
“Tomorrow,” Naruto spoke up, surprising the others. “I’m going to master this new ability, and we’re gonna change the way people see your clan, Hinata-san!” His blue eyes seemed to glow for a moment, the flash giving silent testament to his determination.
Hinata felt a rush of…something…during that brief second, and she felt her face heat up as she fairly basked in his confidence.
“In addition,” Hiashi said, “Naruto-san’s slave, Haku, will be instructing you in the use of senbon, Hinata.” The girl looked up at him, surprised. “I am aware of your hobby regarding medicine. It has been said many times that our clan’s Byakugan would be extremely useful to the medical ninja corps. It has been the elders that have prevented me from pushing that issue, as it would be against tradition. You, my daughter, are going to break that tradition.”
Mosa spoke up, drawing the attention of the clan head. “Hiashi-sama,” he said, “The elders are bound to start suspecting something eventually. What happens if they order me to talk? With the curse seal to back them…”
“When it seems like they are developing suspicions, I will reassign you to act as Hinata and Hanabi’s attendant,” he said, “As long as the elders only suspect me, they will not question you while you are under my daughters’ command.”
The brown haired young man nodded, bowing to his leader.
“Then it is settled,” Sarutobi said, “This meeting never took place, and as I mentioned, the secret is A-class. No one must know of Naruto’s new doujutsu until the time is right.”
“Ummm, Hokage-jiji?” Naruto spoke up, “What about my team? Sakura-chan and Sasuke both know about it already!”
“Kakashi-san will inform them of the situation, Naruto-kun,” Sarutobi replied. “For now, you have to focus on your training. There are three months till the Chuunin exams, and I believe your sensei plan’s to nominate your team. You need to be ready.”
Naruto’s eyes lit up in glee at the thought of the exams. Hinata smiled at the sheer joy in her crush’s countenance. The blond genin had always enjoyed challenges, even if the ones in the academic realm were not to his taste.
Of course he’d be happy about the Chuunin exams.
oOoOoOo
The following day, Hinata stood across the ring from her crush, the boy kneeling on the ground as Hiashi explained the principles of activating the Byakugan.
“So, I need to…pulse…the chakra to my eyes, while I focus on just one spot?” Naruto asked, the Hyuuga head nodding at the simple explanation. “What part of Hinata-chan should I focus on?”
*He called me ‘chan’!* the blushing girl thought, her fingers poking together in her usual nervous tick.
Naruto’s slave, Haku, knelt off to the side, next to young Hanabi, watching as the elder Hyuuga girl shifted about nervously. “Why is Hinata-sama so nervous, Hanabi-sama?” she asked, looking down at her ‘charge’.
“Onee-sama is a very timid person,” the young dark haired girl replied, “She doesn’t like to hurt people. She won’t even try to hurt me when we spar - she just tries to end our matches in ties.” The young girl frowned. “I don’t know this Naruto person, but I guess onee-sama doesn’t want to hurt him either.”
“I…see,” Haku replied, eying the blue haired girl. *Do you like my master, Hinata-sama?* she wondered. *If you are planning something bad, I will not let it happen. I will not lose another precious person!*
“Hinata,” Hiashi spoke up, “Come kneel in front of Naruto-san. We will now test his doujutsu.”
“Yes, f-father,” the girl stuttered, walking forward and kneeling before her crush. “I am ready, N-naruto-kun.”
The blond boy nodded. “I’ll focus on your eyes first, Hinata-chan,” he said, “When I first did this to Haku-chan, she said it felt like a ‘rush’, so brace yourself.”
Deep inside the boy, the fox spirit started chuckling. *Ooooh, this should be good, kyaaaa!* Kitsu-chan thought. ‘Give her a good blast, bozu-kayaaa!’
*Oh, hush,* Naruto thought, focusing on activating his Kouingan.
Hinata watched, fascinated, as Naruto’s eyes seemed to glow an even brighter shade of blue than was normal for him, as a reddish-gold spiral seemed to spin out from the pupils. The spiral expanded outwards, beyond the iris, coming to a stop at the corners of his eyes, before flashing brightly when they finished.
…and suddenly, she found it very hard to breath.
Hiashi, Haku, Hanabi, and Mosa all watched in horrified fascination as Hinata seemed to flush suddenly, her Byakugan activating suddenly as she started panting. The girl tipped forwards, her hands planting themselves on the ground she started rocking backwards and forewards.
“Whoa…” Mosa muttered from his position behind Naruto, watching as the young heiress started to caress her breasts through her heavy jacket.
“Oooooooh,” Hinata moaned suddenly, as she started pulling at her jacket, trying to remove the garment.
“Naruto-san! Turn it off!” Hiashi ordered, shuddering as he watched his daughter started to wail in pleasure.
“OKAY!” Naruto replied, closing his eyes and stopping the chakra flow. Hinata cried out in despair as the beautiful sight was taken away, before collapsing fully on the ground, a thin trail of drool slipping from her lips.
Hanabi’s eyes were wide. “What happened to her?!” she shouted, running towards her big sister, turning to glare at the blond boy who was staring in shock at the almost comatose girl.
“It’s never done THAT before!” Naruto replied, “It’s never been so effective just after I turned it on!”
“Naruto-sama is telling the truth,” Haku spoke up, walking over to help the still shuddering Hinata to a kneeling position, wiping the drool from her cheek. “When I first felt the Kouingan’s power, it was intense, but it didn’t drive me so…”
“Wild?” Mosa supplied helpfully.
“…as close as one can get, I suppose,” Hiashi replied. “I’m not sure if it is only Hinata who is so affected though…”
Mosa nodded, looking down at the blond boy. “Try it on me, Naruto-san,” he suggested, “Just remember to turn it off before you look at Hanabi-sama or Hinata-sama again.”
“Okay,” Naruto replied, activating his doujutsu once more.
Mosa felt…something…as he stared into the spiraled eyes of Hiashi’s new student. He felt a pull, as if something was trying to force his body to surrender to its baser instincts, but he forced it down…barely.
“Okay…” he muttered, taking a deep breath as Naruto shut his Kouingan down once more. “I definitely felt something there. I was able to fight it off, but only just.”
“Hiashi-sama, if I may?” Haku spoke up, looking up at the frowning man.
“You have a thought?” he asked.
“Naruto-sama’s doujutsu has similar visual abilities to yours, but there is also a genjutsu quality to remember,” she continued, “It affected me quite strongly back in Wave country, though I think it was the constant focus he gave me during my…interrogation…that made it so powerful.”
“So, the stronger the focus, the stronger the effect on those its trained on?” Hiashi asked.
“Hinata-sama felt the ‘full blast’, when he activated his doujutsu,” Haku replied, “Mosa-sama felt the same thing, but I think his ability to resist would have broken down eventually.” Haku bowed her head, as she prepared to give him her honest opinion. “Forgive me, but I suspect that the same might happen to you as well. It would just take even longer.”
Hiashi frowned, but nodded. “So, people who posses the Byakugan would likely be very susceptible to the Kouingan’s genjutsu effect,” he stated. “For those with strong will power, it would take time to work, but for those who are young, it would be almost instantaneous.”
Naruto spoke up suddenly. “What about if I’m not ‘focused’ on them to start with?” he asked, “Say, I activate it while looking at something else, then turn to look at them?”
Hinata snapped to attention then, her eyes bright with determination. “I will volunteer for the test!” she stated.
The group face-faulted.
I’m not too happy with this chapter, but I think the next one’s will be better. Part of this was mostly to start setting the limits to the Kouingan’s power.
The last thing I want is to turn this into another ‘Deus ex Machingan’ type of story.
Not very lemony, I know, but I’ll make up for that next chapter. Some more NaruHaku goodness, and maybe some Hinata-spice! (Big grin)
Hyuuga Hiashi, despite appearances, was not a ‘cold’ man.
His cold demeanor aside, he could enjoy a good joke just as much as the next man. In his younger days, he was even known to crack a few (a fact that his former teammate Tsume still loved to point out).
Though he was harsh towards his daughters, it was out of love. His choice to ‘cast aside’ Hinata, was based on more than her own lack of skill with the Hyuuga clan’s Jyuken taijutsu style - he did it because she would have collapsed under the horrendous pressure of being the clan head.
The pale eyed man was kneeling before the shrine to his late wife, Hinamori, offering his daily prayers to her spirit when his personal branch house attendant knocked on the door.
“You may enter, Mosa-kun,” he said, allowing the young man to open the sliding door.
The young man was plain -even by Hyuuga standards-, but he was reliable, and fairly skilled in the jyuken. More than that however, he was one of the few members of the clan that Hiashi truly trusted.
“Forgive the intrusion, Hiashi-sama,” the young man replied, bowing his crew-cut head to the floor, “Hokage-sama has requested your presence in the tower at your earliest convenience.”
“Hardly a reason for you to interrupt my morning prayers,” Hiashi said, a slight trace of annoyance in his tone.
“I would have waited, sir,” Mosa replied, “But the message was delivered by Hatake Kakashi-sama himself.”
That got the Hyuuga patriarch’s attention. “Kakashi?” he muttered. It was a rare event indeed when Konoha’s number one jounin visited the number one clan’s compound. Especially given the ’bad blood’ between him and the clan.
Once more, Hiashi cursed the clan elders in his mind, thinking about the tragic fall of Hatake Sakumo and their role in it.
“Is he still waiting?” Hiashi asked, closing the doors to his wife’s shrine.
“Yes, Hiashi-sama,” Mosa replied, “He said he’d wait for you. I was unable to determine what Hokage-sama wishes to speak to you about.”
Hiashi grunted. “Most likely some council issue he needs my support on,” he muttered, standing and walking out of the small room. He allowed Mosa to lead him towards the entrance to the compound, noting the training sessions several of the branch family children were having in jyuken. Sadly, none of them had the same prodigious talent of his nephew Neji.
A few moments later, he stood looking at the silver haired jounin, noting with some displeasure the orange covered book in his hand.
“Hatake-san,” he greeted, with a slight nod of his head, “Must you read that near my clan’s domain?”
“Well, it was just getting to the good part,” Kakashi replied, “See, it turns out that Sayuri and Konoko are actually twin sisters separated at birth! And they still want to explore each others…”
“I am well aware of the trash Jiraiya-sama writes,” Hiashi muttered, frowning as he saw Mosa with a slight tinge to his cheeks. “I believe Hokage-sama has requested my presence?”
“Yes, well, I guess I can wait till later,” the masked man replied, swiftly pocketing the book in his vest. “Shall we?”
“With haste,” Hiashi muttered, the pair forming matching hitsugi seals, utilizing the shunshin no jutsu to move swiftly through the village and appear before the Hokage tower. “I assume you know the reason to this summons?”
“I do,” Kakashi replied, “But it’s best discussed all together. Sarutobi-sama will have a few…ideas…about how its too be done.”
Hiashi raised left eyebrow in curiosity. “And just what is to be…done?” he asked, as the pair entered the tower, walking towards Sarutobi’s office.
“You’ll see in just a moment,” Kakashi replied, pushing the door open for the stoic man.
Hiashi was surprised to see that the Hokage was not alone in the office. His meetings with Sarutobi were often held behind closed doors, without even a secretary present to serve tea.
Given Sarutobi’s constant political struggle with Danzo, it was just common sense.
The sight of the orange clad blonde was…unexpected, as was Kakashi walking in as well. It was a greater surprise when the silver haired jounin closed the doors, before applying a seal tag to the upper and lower stanchions of the entryway.
“Fuin jutsu: Naisho Shouheki,” Kakashi intoned, snapping a few quick seals off before applying chakra to the seal tags.
Hiashi frowned, before turning to Sarutobi. “Given that Uzumaki-san is here, and that you had Hatake-san apply a privacy seal to the room, I gather that this is more than just our usual ‘strategy’ sessions regarding the council,” he muttered.
“Indeed,” Sarutobi replied, lighting his pipe with a small application of fire-chakra, “This meeting is far more important.” He motioned towards Naruto. “Use your Byakugan, Hiashi-san. Tell me what you see.”
Hiashi frowned, before looking at the blond. “You know that most people would consider this a horrific breach of privacy,” he said, causing the blond to frown in confusion.
“I don’t,” Naruto replied, “It’s what your eyes do. Why should I be upset about what you can do?”
Hiashi had no response to that. With a sigh, the Hyuuga head activated his doujutsu, his eyes narrowing as he spied the changes in Naruto’s chakra network.
“You have a pool of chakra around your eyes,” he muttered. “The pattern…is almost…the ‘shape‘ of the chakra is similar to the Byakugan!”
“Now you see why I called you, Hiashi-san,” Sarutobi spoke up, “During his team’s first C-Rank mission, Naruto came into contact with his…tenant.”
Hiashi snapped his head to the side, looking at the Hokage in surprise. “I was…unaware that this topic was allowed for discussion now,” he muttered.
“I’ve known about the Kyuubi for a few months now,” Naruto spoke up, “She ‘woke up’ my new doujutsu to help me with a pretty difficult battle during that mission.”
“The details are in this folder, Hiashi-san,” Sarutobi said, pushing a thin folder towards the man, “I think you’ll find the data we’ve collected so far to be…intriguing, to say the least.”
Hiashi reached forward, opening the folder and scanning the documents within. “I see you’ve already labeled this an A-Class secret,” he muttered, “…some penetration abilities…slight genjutsu properties…possible applications for both interrogation and inflitration…” Hiashi’s eyes widened as he read the name of the doujutsu. “The…Kouingan?”
“The fox has…a quirky sense of humor,” Naruto shrugged.
Hiashi looked over at Sarutobi again. “From what I can see, Uzumaki-san’s eyes don’t see chakra, like the Byakugan does - rather, he sees the electrical impulses that play throughout the body,” he said, “Though, I still don’t see why its being called a ’seduction’ eye.”
Sarutobi nodded, pulling another file from his desk. “It relates to the ’interrogation’ possibilities of his eyes,” the aged kage replied, “This is the file we’ve put together on the ninja that Naruto fought, leading to the awakening of his eyes.”
Hiashi scanned the document. “Name: Haku. Clan: suspected to be the Retsuhana of Mizu no Kuni. Kekkei Genkai: Elemental manipulation - Hyoton,” he muttered, “Current status:…” Hiashi cast a sharp look at the blonde boy.
“I couldn’t just let her die,” Naruto replied, “Kyuubi told me about the law that the Shodai created. I’m not happy about what I did, but she didn’t deserve to die!”
Hiashi frowned. “She was your enemy,” he replied, “She was a threat to your team and your mission. Why did you feel that she deserved mercy?”
“…we both know how I’ve been treated because of Kitsu-chan,” Naruto replied, Hiashi frowning at the nickname, “Haku-chan suffered much the same in her home country because of the Bloodline Massacres. When I first met her, she told me that a person truly becomes strong when they have someone precious to protect.” The blonde looked up at the white eyed man. “Despite the danger she presented to my friends and myself, I couldn’t just let her die! She’s a good person, and she deserves a chance at happiness. I’m going to give that to her…even if I have to be her ’master’ to do it.”
Hiashi found himself nodding as he listened to the boy’s impassioned speech. *I expressed my doubts about him to Sarutobi before,* he thought, watching the boy’s eyes firm up in resolve. *I was concerned that his reasons for his goals - simple acknowledgement - were too selfish to allow him to truly grow as a ninja. This Haku has changed that…and I find myself curious as to how far that change goes.*
“It’s only a matter of time before the council and the clans receive word of Naruto-kun’s new kekkei genkai,” Kakashi spoke up. “Given its similarities to both your clan’s Byakugan, and the genjutsu abilities of the Kurama clan, you can bet that the council will be demanding that he be married into a clan to ’spread it around’.”
“More than that, Kakashi-san,” Hiashi replied, “I know that the elders of my clan will demand that he be inducted into the clan and branded with the caged bird seal, as they tried before.”
Kakashi growled at that, turning to Sarutobi. “Is this true?” he asked, ignoring Naruto’s confused look.
“I blocked the attempt,” Sarutobi replied, “There were similar moves attempted by both the Uchiha and the Yamanaka clans, but fortunately I was able to block them as well. However, this time I don’t think I’d be as lucky.”
“Knowing my clan elders as I do, they will try and petition the Fire Lord himself to order the induction,” Hiashi said, “Given our current ties with him, I’m fairly certain he would agree to the request. Kyohaku-sama was my father’s best friend after all.”
“I’ve prepared a dispatch for him that I’m sending off after this meeting is concluded,” Sarutobi replied, “I’m inviting him here to meet with me in one weeks time to discuss the upcoming Chuunin Exams…”
“Chuunin exams!?!” Naruto shouted, causing the adults to wince.
“We can discuss that later, Naruto-kun,” Kakashi replied, “For now, please keep your voice down and listen.”
“Sorry, sensei,” the blonde replied.
“Ahem, as I was saying,” Sarutobi continued, “I’ll be discussing the issue regarding Naruto-kun’s kekkei genkai with him at that time. For now, we need to keep this as quiet as possible. The ANBU who witnessed Naruto’s…breaking…of the Haku girl have already sworn to secrecy, and I’m certain Kakashi’s team will keep it quiet if ordered.”
“I know I will, jiji!” Naruto grinned, causing the Hokage to chuckle slightly.
“I’m sure, Naruto-kun,” he replied, “Now, that leaves your clan, Hiashi-san. Given the way things are, can you guarantee that this will be kept secret?”
Hiashi frowned. “In regards to myself, my personal attendant Hyuuga Mosa, and perhaps my daughters, then yes, it can be kept secret,” he replied, “However, beyond that, I cannot be certain. The elders hold much sway over the branch family, both via the curse seal and ordinary familial loyalty. My position as clan head is…tenuous…at best, given my refusal to have Hinata sealed.”
“Hinata…that girl who always fainted in class?” Naruto asked, “She’s your daughter?”
Hiashi nodded. “Hinata is my eldest daughter,” he answered, “She is a gentle spirit, and a very respectful person. However, she lacks the talent with our clan’s special taijutsu style that her sister Hanabi has, and her timidity makes her a poor choice for the position of heiress. The elders have been pushing me for almost two years now to have her branded with the curse seal and moved into the branch family.”
Naruto frowned. “Just because she’s not some stuck up princess?” he asked, “That’s just…mean!”
Sarutobi nodded. “It seems so, Naruto-kun,” he replied, “However, it is an internal clan matter, and one that you cannot interfere in. You’ll find that there are a great many things you can and cannot do when you were this hat.”
Hiashi nodded. “I will need to speak with my daughters about this, as well as Mosa-kun,” he said, “Most likely, if I am to help train you in the use of your new doujutsu, Naruto-san, then it will have to be in a place where there will be no prying eyes.”
Kakashi grunted. “Would my sensei’s private training ground work for that?” he asked, startling the other three occupents. “Minato-sensei’s personal training grounds are marked with a number of specialized seals that he designed specifically for countering doujutsu.” His one visible eye crinkled into its trademarked ’smile’. “He did like his privacy, now and again.”
Hiashi and Sarutobi nodded. “It would probably be best,” Sarutobi replied, “Only Jiraiya, myself, and Kakashi know the specific location of Minato-kun’s old haunt. If the privacy seals are still in working order, then it would be the ideal location for training.”
Naruto was practically bouncing in glee. *Training to get even stronger!* he couldn’t help but cackle in his mind.
*Pay attention, bozu~!* the voice of Kitsu penetrated his consciousness.
Hiashi nodded. “If we include my children in this, then I shall need to discuss things with Hinata’s jounin sensei,” he said, “If you could have her meet me at my clan’s compound, Hokage-sama?”
Sarutobi nodded, eying Naruto’s almost gleeful face. “Kurenai-san and Team Eight are on a C-rank courier mission at the moment,” he said, “I expect them back in two days. They are currently at our ally village Hoshigakure.”
Hiashi nodded. “I shall speak with both Hinata, Hanabi, and Mosa when they return,” he said. Turning to Naruto, he adopted an even sterner look. “I will not be lenient with you, Naruto-san. This is an incredible responsibility you now bear - if you slack off, even for one moment, then the results will be…very unpleasant.”
“I never back down!” Naruto replied, looking up into Hiashi’s eyes defiantly. “I promise, you’ll get nothing but my best! I never go back on my word - its my nindo!”
Kakashi grinned beneath his mask. “That’s good, Naruto,” he said, “But don’t exhaust yourself during your sessions with Hiashi-san. I will be expecting your continued hard work during our regular team meetings as well.”
“You’ll get it, dattebayo!” Naruto grinned, flashing a thumbs up.
*When did he meet Gai!?!* the three men wondered, shuddering at the ‘Gai-esque’ pose the blond had adopted.
*It won’t be just them working you~kyaaa!* the Kyuubi thought, keeping her chuckles from the enthusiastic blond. *I have such fun things in store~jaro. Fu fu fu fu fu fu fuuuuuu!*
oOoOoOo
Haku rubbed at the metallic collar that encircled her throat for the twentieth time in eight minutes.
The device was almost seamless, only a small bump near the back signifying that it had been soddered together. The gun metal grey color blended into her ANBU issued shift, making it almost impossible to tell she was a slave, rather than a standard prisoner.
The dress - if it could be called that - was extremely short, ending almost four inches above her knees, and leaving her arms completely bare. She continually had to adjust her position, as the damn thing kept trying to creep up her legs and expose that fact that she had not been given any panties.
She knew it was pointless, given that until her surrender to Naruto she’d been naked the entire time she’d been imprisoned in the ANBU’s Interrogation and Torture department, but she was a girl - she did have some modesty left.
The door to her cell opened, and she looked up to see the purple haired ANBU who had been assisting the scarred man torture her walk in. Part of her wanted to lash out at the woman, to pay her back for the whips and the hot wax that she had used, but she reigned in her impulse.
Not only would it not do any good - the seals engraved in the metal of her collar would sap her chakra before she could even finish her first string of hand seals - but her new master would be the one to pay the price for her actions.
“You probably won’t believe me,” the woman spoke, her voice coming out somewhat muffled beneath her mask, “But I am sorry about what was done to you, as is Ibiki-taicho. He hates having to use actual pain to get people to talk.”
Haku sighed. “I do not blame you for doing your duties,” she replied, “Part of me will always resent you, but I can move past it.” She tugged at the hem of her ‘dress’ again. “I don’t suppose a slightly…longer shift could be arranged?”
The ANBU shook her head. “Technically, until Naruto-kun finishes the paperwork for claiming you, you’re still a prisoner,” she replied. “The rules state that you’re still subject to random searches by ANBU personnel. Ibiki-taicho usually just keeps all prisoners in the complex naked until they’re either executed, or transferred to Naki-kaijin prison.” (Weeping Ash)
Haku sighed, nodding. “I understand,” she muttered.
“Listen, I wanted to talk to you about…what Naruto-san did,” the ANBU spoke up, “I know it has something to do with his doujutsu, and I’d like to…understand it.”
Haku shuddered as her body recalled the sensations Naruto had forced her to experience while under the watch of those eyes. She instinctively clenched her ass, remembering how his fingers had teased the muscles back there, providing a delightfully ticklish sensation that had caused her insides to almost melt.
“What was it like?” the purple tressed woman asked, “Was it just how his hands made you feel, or was it the eyes?”
The dark haired girl closed her eyes, sighing as the memories washed over her. “It…I can’t…” she muttered, “His hands…when he started using chakra with them, it was like I was being caressed by warm winds, but my skin was made even more sensitive…” She sighed, squeezing her legs together as she felt the heat build in her loins from the memory. “His eyes…I…I felt so…[i]exposed[/i]…when he looked at me.”
“Exposed?” the woman asked, watching as the girl squirmed in her chair.
“I was naked,” Haku replied, opening her eyes to stare at the ANBU, “But…it was like he could [b]see[/b] every part of me at once, in the truest sense of the word! He could see into my mind…my body…and he could bend it to his will!”
“And…when he brought you to orgasm the first time?” her interrogator asked.
“It was like I was being bathed in light,” Haku sighed, panting as her hardened nipples rubbed against the course cloth of her shift. “I thought that I’d be less sensitive after that…”
“But you were wrong,” the ANBU replied.
Haku nodded, her face flushing red as she remembered how Naruto had brought forth an almost constant stream of orgasms during those hours he interrogated her. “I…I could…never have imagined…” she whispered. “His eyes…it was so…”
“Intense?”
“Beyond that, even,” the girl replied, bowing her head to hide her embarrassment. She moved her hands up to her collar once again. “And now I’m his property,” she whispered, “Before I was just…a broken tool. Without Zabuza-sama…he was…”
“The father you should have had,” a new voice interrupted, causing the two women to look over at the entrance to the cell.
Naruto stood there, the ANBU Washi standing behind him. Naruto held a bundle of cloth in his hands as he walked into the small room. “Hokage-jiji wants to meet you, Haku-chan,” he said, holding out the bundle. “I remembered that pink kimono you were wearing when we first met, so I picked up one that was like that.” He blushed slightly. “It’s…not exactly like it, but I hope its alright.”
Haku smiled as she picked up the bundle. “I’m sure it’ll be just fine, Naruto-sama,” she said. She looked over at the eagle masked ANBU, swallowing slightly. “Ummm…could I…”
The purple haired ANBU stood up, moving to the door. “Naruto-kun here can handle escorting you to Sarutobi-sama,” she said, “Come on, Washi. We have some reports to finish.”
The stocky man chuckled. “Okay, Neko,” he replied, “Let’s go.” He turned to Naruto, flashing him a thumbs-up. “Nice job with her, kid. Come see me when you make chuunin…I’d like to bounce some ideas off you regarding the method you used.”
Naruto and Haku both blushed at that. The two adults chuckled, before walking out. The blond boy sighed then, before looking over at his new…slave.
“If you want, I’ll turn around,” he offered, surprising the girl.
“…why?” she asked, “You’ve…already seen my body. It belongs to you now…if you ordered it, I would have to walk out in public completely unclothed.”
Naruto gulped. “That doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some respect,” he replied. “Other people might not think like that…but I know what it’s like to be stared at when you don’t want it.” He reached out to put his hand on her shoulders. “The law may say that you’re my…slave…but as far as I’m concerned? You’re my friend, first and foremost.”
Haku felt tears well up in her eyes at this gesture, before enveloping the boy in a hug. “I swear…” she whispered, “I will never abuse this trust…Naruto-sama.”
She stepped back, reaching down to the hem of her uniform. “I don’t mind…if its you looking,” she said, pulling the shift up and off.
Naruto swallowed, gazing upon his girl’s nude form. Once again, he frowned at the various welts that decorated her legs and abdomen, and he outright scowled as she turned around, showing the lines from the whips that had been played across her backside and rear.
Haku found herself oddly comforted by Naruto’s outrage at her injuries, even as she pulled on the pink kimono. The embroidery was different to the black spirals her old kimono had - instead, white lotus blossoms decorated the fabric, and a blue obi to hold it closed.
She frowned as she noticed a certain…lack…of items.
“There…are no panties,” she muttered, causing Naruto to blush.
“Ah-heh-heh-heh,” the blond boy chuckled weekly. “I…uh…did bring some for you.” She turned to him, an eyebrow raised. “I had to…borrow them…from my teammate Sakura.” he reached into his pants pocked. “She was…embarrassed, but she said they were the only spare pair she had.” He held out a small bundle of black cloth.
Haku picked it up, and stared. “A…a G-STRING!?!” she squeaked, her face flushing red as she looked at the miniscule garment.
Naruto nodded, his own face bright red as well. “It was the best I could do!” he said, “Honest!”
His dark haired slave sighed, but nodded. She bent down, sliding them up her legs to cup her mound. “It…will do,” she replied.
She finished getting dressed.
oOoOoOo
Hiashi watched as his eldest child and her team walked back into the village. They had arrived a day earlier than expected.
Hinata’s teached, Yuuhi Kurenai, spotted him immediately upon crossing the threshold of the village gates. He ignored the cold gaze she directed his way, and focused on his child.
“Hinata,” he spoke, inwardly sighing as the girl seemed to flinch under his gaze.
“F-father,” she stuttered.
“I have come to retrieve you,” he said, “There is an important matter that we need to discuss back at the clan compound.”
“Excuse me, Hyuuga-sama,” Kurenai spoke up, drawing his attention, “We just got back from a C-rank mission, and must report to Hokage-sama about its success.”
“Sarutobi-sama knows of the issue I am refering to, Yuuhi-san,” he replied, “He will understand if Hinata is not present. This is a clan matter.”
“A-ano…Kurenai-sensei,” the pale-eyed girl stuttered, causing her Aburame and Inuzuka teammates to glance at her, “I’m…sure its important…Kiba-kun can bring my share of the payment to me later.”
The raven haired woman sighed, before nodding. “Very well,” she said, “We’re off duty for the week anyway. I want you all to meet at Training Ground 29 next Tuesday.” She looked over at Hiashi. “I hope that won’t interfere with your clan business.”
“It should not,” he replied, “Come, Hinata.”
“Y-yes, father,” the girl replied, walking off with him.
Hiashi waited till her team was out of sight, before looking down at his child. “Hinata,” he said, drawing her attention, “A very important discovery has been made recently. Our clan has been asked to help someone with a very…powerful gift.”
His blue haired daughter looked up. “W-what do you mean?” she asked.
“Follow me,” he said, leading her down an alley. She followed, frowning as she realized that they were actually heading [i]away[/i] from the clan’s grounds.
The pair traveled in silence for a few moments, before coming to a fairly nondescript building with no signs. Hiashi quickly snapped off a trio of hand seals, placing his hands against the wall.
Hinata gasped as she saw the wall [I]ripple[/I] slightly, before her father turned to her. “Walk forward, Hinata,” he said.
“Y-yes,” she whispered, walking towards…and then TRHOUGH the wall.
She blinked for a few moments, before gasping as she saw her little sister Hanabi and her father’s attendant Mosa kneeling before the Hokage. Next to the aged leader of the village was a strange jounin with silver hair and a slanted hitai-ate.
There was a girl in a pink kimono kneeling next to a tea service, and Hinata frowned as she spied a slave collar around her neck. As a member of one of Konoha’s ‘noble’ clans, Hinata was familiar with the Laws of the Shodai, and she wondered how such a pretty girl could have wound up someone’s property.
“Hey, Hinata-san!”
Hinata found herself stiffening in shock, looking over to the other side of the room.
The orange jumpsuit…the wild blond hair…those amazing blue eyes…
“N-n-n-naruto-k-k-k-kun!” she gasped, before collapsing in a faint.
“Onee-sama!” the smallest occupent cried, running to her sister’s side.
“Easy, Hanabi-chan,” Hiashi spoke up, smiling as Naruto and his slave girl moved to help his eldest to a cushion. “Hinata was just…surprised.”
“Yes, father,” Hanabi replied, holding a cup of water to her elder sister’s lips.
oOoOoOo
When she came too, Hinata was surprised to see that the situation was not a dream.
Her ‘secret crush’ was kneeling next to the slave girl, who had identified herself as Haku. Part of her was insanely jealous at how…affectionate…he was to her, though she quickly stamped that part down.
Naruto’s kindness and friendly nature was what made him special - she could not be upset at that.
The girl, Haku, poured the four Hyuuga each a cup of tea. Hinata was shocked at what happened next.
Hanabi accidentally tipped her cup as she picked it up, the green liquid spilling onto her small hands. “ITAI!” she cried, dropping the cup and further spilling the hot tea around her.
“Hanabi-chan!” the elder sister cried, pulling the smaller girl towards herself to examine the scalded fingers.
“Hyuuga-sama,” the slave girl spoke up, “If I may?”
Hinata looked up to see Haku gently take her sniffling sister’s hands in her own, the hands glowing slightly with chakra. Hinata watched, fascinated, as the air around her sister’s hands cooled, causing Hanabi to breath a sigh of relief.
“So, this is an example of her Hyoton kekkei genkai,” Hiashi spoke up, causing Hinata’s eyes to widen.
*Hyoton?* she thought.
She spotted something out of the corner of her eye, and she turned, gasping as she saw Naruto’s hands locked together in the hitsuugi seal. She gulped, fearing what this entailed, as she looked to Haku’s collar.
Several of the seal engravings were glowing.
For a moment, Hinata was sure her heart would break - the idea, the very NOTION, that Naruto would [I]enslave[/I] a person, was an affront to her senses.
“Everything will be explained, Hinata-chan,” the calming voice of Sarutobi penetrated her thoughts, causing her to look at the venerable old man. “Naruto, I think that should be enough.”
“Okay,” he said, “Haku-chan. Stop now please.”
“Yes, Naruto-sama,” the slave girl replied, letting her chakra recede, leaving Hanabi’s hands cooled.
The smallest Hyuuga sniffled slightly, but looked up into Haku’s eyes. “Thank…you,” she said.
Haku nodded, smiling slightly, before moving to take her place at Naruto’s side.
“Now, we need to get this meeting started,” Sarutobi said, “First off…Hinata-chan, what you, your sister, and Mosa-kun here, are about to learn is considered to be at the very least an ‘A’ class secret. You must not speak of it to anyone who does not already know - if you do, the penalty is extremely severe.”
Hiashi looked at his two daughters. “The best you could hope for, if you break this secret,” he said, his stern gaze causing the two to flinch (though Hinata’s was more pronounced than her sister’s), “Is a month under the care of the ANBU’s Torture and Interrogation department, followed by life imprisonment at Naki-kaijin.”
Hinata gasped. While her little sister wasn’t sure what that meant, she knew of the horrible prison - only traitors and murderers were ever sent there, and none had ever escaped.
It was kind of hard to flee when you were surrounded on all sides by a valley filled with fumes from a volcano.
Mosa, who had been silent till now, frowned. “Forgive me, Hiashi-sama, Hokage-sama,” he spoke up, “But if this is supposed to be a secret, why then are Uzumaki-san and his…servant…here?”
“Because the secret’s about me,” Naruto spoke up. Hinata frowned as her crush looked over to Sarutobi, who nodded to him. “During my team’s first C-rank mission, something happened to me…I awoke my own kekkei genkai.”
The three Hyuuga’s gasped.
“Hiashi-sama knows about it already,” the blond continued, “He says that the way my chakra works with it is apparently a lot like your Byakugan.“ Here, he brought a hand to the back of his head, rubbing it as he actually BLUSHED. “Though, mine does have a few…quirks.”
“Ano,” Hinata spoke up, “Does…i-i-it have…something to d-do with…your…”
“You may call me a slave, Hyuuga-sama,” Haku said, causing the girl to ‘eep’ in embarrassment. “I have fully accepted my new role in life. I find no shame in it.”
Hinata nodded, before looking at Naruto again.
“Yeah, it does,” he explained. He pulled a set of files out from beneath the table, handing them to Hinata and Mosa. “The details are in there.”
Hinata opened the file, reading the contents even as Hanabi tried to peak at the data (while being held back by her father). Mosa started chuckling after a few minutes, while Hinata turned bright red.
“K-k-k-k-k-kouingan!?!” she squeaked.
Sarutobi chuckled, even as he took a puff from his ever present pipe. “Naruto-kun always has been one for…surprises,” he said, as if that explained it all.
The blond boy grinned sheepishly. “Hey, at least I make life interesting!” he said, causing the adults to chuckle, while his slave merely smiled serenely.
“As you can see, Naruto-san is in need of training,” Hiashi said, looking at his two daughters, as well as his attendant. “I have volunteered to oversee this. However, to keep the council from knowing about it till the proper time, we need to keep things…hidden.”
Sarutobi spoke next. “We’ve already arranged for all of you to use the Yondaime’s personal training ground,” he said, causing both Hanabi and Hinata to gasp in surprise. “On days when Hiashi-san is unable to train him, I will be asking you, Hinata-chan, to help him. Much of Naruto’s current focus needs to be chakra control, and according to academy records you were the number two student in that regard.”
Hinata blushed, but nodded. “I w-work extremel-ly hard at it,” she replied.
“Wow, that’s awesome, Hinata-san!” Naruto exclaimed, causing the poor girl to blush even more.
Hiashi nodded. “I will be pushing Naruto-san, Hanabi-chan, and yourself in the next few weeks,” he said, “When I am not present, Mosa-kun will take over. You will all be working on something that has not been done in the history of our clan…”
“…varaitions on the jyuken.”
Hanabi and Hinata both gasped in shock, while Mosa’s eyes narrowed. “Hiashi-sama, if the elders find out that you even said that…” the young branch member muttered.
“I am well aware of the consequences,” Hiashi replied. “I feel that this is worth the risk. Too long our clan has remained stagnant, like a mill pond. Naruto-san’s doujutsu allows for a…unique…opportunity.”
The leader of the Hyuuga clan turned to his eldest. “For a long time, I have not acted like a supportive parent to you, Hinata,” he said, causing the blue haired girl to avert her eyes. “The fault is not with you, but with me. I was blind to the fact that you are not truly suited to our families art…as it is now.”
Hinata had been shrinking in on herself till this point, while Naruto scowled at Hiashi’s words. When Hiashi finished his statement, the pair looked at him in shock. “Naruto-san has pointed out to me that you cannot always go with one method to win,” he said, “Sometimes, you must do things that are against the norm. His actions with his new slave, Haku, are an example.”
The normally stern man placed his hands upon his daughters heads, causing the two of them to gape at their parent in shock. “The clan must change,” he said, “Or I will have failed Hizashi.”
Sarutobi smiled, ducking his head so the expression was hidden by the brim of his pointed hat. *Changing things for the better already Naruto-kun,* he thought, *Your parents would be proud.*
Hinata truly felt like this was as close to nirvana as she would ever get. “W-w-when should we st-start…father?” she asked.
“Tomorrow,” Naruto spoke up, surprising the others. “I’m going to master this new ability, and we’re gonna change the way people see your clan, Hinata-san!” His blue eyes seemed to glow for a moment, the flash giving silent testament to his determination.
Hinata felt a rush of…something…during that brief second, and she felt her face heat up as she fairly basked in his confidence.
“In addition,” Hiashi said, “Naruto-san’s slave, Haku, will be instructing you in the use of senbon, Hinata.” The girl looked up at him, surprised. “I am aware of your hobby regarding medicine. It has been said many times that our clan’s Byakugan would be extremely useful to the medical ninja corps. It has been the elders that have prevented me from pushing that issue, as it would be against tradition. You, my daughter, are going to break that tradition.”
Mosa spoke up, drawing the attention of the clan head. “Hiashi-sama,” he said, “The elders are bound to start suspecting something eventually. What happens if they order me to talk? With the curse seal to back them…”
“When it seems like they are developing suspicions, I will reassign you to act as Hinata and Hanabi’s attendant,” he said, “As long as the elders only suspect me, they will not question you while you are under my daughters’ command.”
The brown haired young man nodded, bowing to his leader.
“Then it is settled,” Sarutobi said, “This meeting never took place, and as I mentioned, the secret is A-class. No one must know of Naruto’s new doujutsu until the time is right.”
“Ummm, Hokage-jiji?” Naruto spoke up, “What about my team? Sakura-chan and Sasuke both know about it already!”
“Kakashi-san will inform them of the situation, Naruto-kun,” Sarutobi replied. “For now, you have to focus on your training. There are three months till the Chuunin exams, and I believe your sensei plan’s to nominate your team. You need to be ready.”
Naruto’s eyes lit up in glee at the thought of the exams. Hinata smiled at the sheer joy in her crush’s countenance. The blond genin had always enjoyed challenges, even if the ones in the academic realm were not to his taste.
Of course he’d be happy about the Chuunin exams.
oOoOoOo
The following day, Hinata stood across the ring from her crush, the boy kneeling on the ground as Hiashi explained the principles of activating the Byakugan.
“So, I need to…pulse…the chakra to my eyes, while I focus on just one spot?” Naruto asked, the Hyuuga head nodding at the simple explanation. “What part of Hinata-chan should I focus on?”
*He called me ‘chan’!* the blushing girl thought, her fingers poking together in her usual nervous tick.
Naruto’s slave, Haku, knelt off to the side, next to young Hanabi, watching as the elder Hyuuga girl shifted about nervously. “Why is Hinata-sama so nervous, Hanabi-sama?” she asked, looking down at her ‘charge’.
“Onee-sama is a very timid person,” the young dark haired girl replied, “She doesn’t like to hurt people. She won’t even try to hurt me when we spar - she just tries to end our matches in ties.” The young girl frowned. “I don’t know this Naruto person, but I guess onee-sama doesn’t want to hurt him either.”
“I…see,” Haku replied, eying the blue haired girl. *Do you like my master, Hinata-sama?* she wondered. *If you are planning something bad, I will not let it happen. I will not lose another precious person!*
“Hinata,” Hiashi spoke up, “Come kneel in front of Naruto-san. We will now test his doujutsu.”
“Yes, f-father,” the girl stuttered, walking forward and kneeling before her crush. “I am ready, N-naruto-kun.”
The blond boy nodded. “I’ll focus on your eyes first, Hinata-chan,” he said, “When I first did this to Haku-chan, she said it felt like a ‘rush’, so brace yourself.”
Deep inside the boy, the fox spirit started chuckling. *Ooooh, this should be good, kyaaaa!* Kitsu-chan thought. ‘Give her a good blast, bozu-kayaaa!’
*Oh, hush,* Naruto thought, focusing on activating his Kouingan.
Hinata watched, fascinated, as Naruto’s eyes seemed to glow an even brighter shade of blue than was normal for him, as a reddish-gold spiral seemed to spin out from the pupils. The spiral expanded outwards, beyond the iris, coming to a stop at the corners of his eyes, before flashing brightly when they finished.
…and suddenly, she found it very hard to breath.
Hiashi, Haku, Hanabi, and Mosa all watched in horrified fascination as Hinata seemed to flush suddenly, her Byakugan activating suddenly as she started panting. The girl tipped forwards, her hands planting themselves on the ground she started rocking backwards and forewards.
“Whoa…” Mosa muttered from his position behind Naruto, watching as the young heiress started to caress her breasts through her heavy jacket.
“Oooooooh,” Hinata moaned suddenly, as she started pulling at her jacket, trying to remove the garment.
“Naruto-san! Turn it off!” Hiashi ordered, shuddering as he watched his daughter started to wail in pleasure.
“OKAY!” Naruto replied, closing his eyes and stopping the chakra flow. Hinata cried out in despair as the beautiful sight was taken away, before collapsing fully on the ground, a thin trail of drool slipping from her lips.
Hanabi’s eyes were wide. “What happened to her?!” she shouted, running towards her big sister, turning to glare at the blond boy who was staring in shock at the almost comatose girl.
“It’s never done THAT before!” Naruto replied, “It’s never been so effective just after I turned it on!”
“Naruto-sama is telling the truth,” Haku spoke up, walking over to help the still shuddering Hinata to a kneeling position, wiping the drool from her cheek. “When I first felt the Kouingan’s power, it was intense, but it didn’t drive me so…”
“Wild?” Mosa supplied helpfully.
“…as close as one can get, I suppose,” Hiashi replied. “I’m not sure if it is only Hinata who is so affected though…”
Mosa nodded, looking down at the blond boy. “Try it on me, Naruto-san,” he suggested, “Just remember to turn it off before you look at Hanabi-sama or Hinata-sama again.”
“Okay,” Naruto replied, activating his doujutsu once more.
Mosa felt…something…as he stared into the spiraled eyes of Hiashi’s new student. He felt a pull, as if something was trying to force his body to surrender to its baser instincts, but he forced it down…barely.
“Okay…” he muttered, taking a deep breath as Naruto shut his Kouingan down once more. “I definitely felt something there. I was able to fight it off, but only just.”
“Hiashi-sama, if I may?” Haku spoke up, looking up at the frowning man.
“You have a thought?” he asked.
“Naruto-sama’s doujutsu has similar visual abilities to yours, but there is also a genjutsu quality to remember,” she continued, “It affected me quite strongly back in Wave country, though I think it was the constant focus he gave me during my…interrogation…that made it so powerful.”
“So, the stronger the focus, the stronger the effect on those its trained on?” Hiashi asked.
“Hinata-sama felt the ‘full blast’, when he activated his doujutsu,” Haku replied, “Mosa-sama felt the same thing, but I think his ability to resist would have broken down eventually.” Haku bowed her head, as she prepared to give him her honest opinion. “Forgive me, but I suspect that the same might happen to you as well. It would just take even longer.”
Hiashi frowned, but nodded. “So, people who posses the Byakugan would likely be very susceptible to the Kouingan’s genjutsu effect,” he stated. “For those with strong will power, it would take time to work, but for those who are young, it would be almost instantaneous.”
Naruto spoke up suddenly. “What about if I’m not ‘focused’ on them to start with?” he asked, “Say, I activate it while looking at something else, then turn to look at them?”
Hinata snapped to attention then, her eyes bright with determination. “I will volunteer for the test!” she stated.
The group face-faulted.
I’m not too happy with this chapter, but I think the next one’s will be better. Part of this was mostly to start setting the limits to the Kouingan’s power.
The last thing I want is to turn this into another ‘Deus ex Machingan’ type of story.
Not very lemony, I know, but I’ll make up for that next chapter. Some more NaruHaku goodness, and maybe some Hinata-spice! (Big grin)
