Always With You

Chapter 7: Imminent threat

Konoha(7:00 pm)

Being a village full of ninja people usually ignored the more unusually thing that happened. But it is hard to ignore a shark type man with a massive sword, just strolling down the clan street. As he walked, out of the shadows appeared a man in a similar cloak, but he was much smaller. He looked familiar in his surroundings, and it seemed like he knew his way around. But as he and his companion walked they reached a rather large clan house with a weird “tear” shaped seal. The smaller man turned to his partner, looking up from under his hat.

“This is it Kisame...” He said to the large man. The Shark man just grinned a very evil smile that could chill a person to the bone with his sharp teeth, he was scary.

“Well it’s about time” The blue man said unwrapping his sword “This will be fun” He said in a low voice.

With the Group

The sun was setting in front of the group of teens and one adult. They all looked happy in their own little ways all caught up in different activities. In the front of the group was Sakura who could not stop laughing at the man in green next to her. Lee had not met his goal of 200 “Sakura lifts” and was now walking to sand on his hands. Behind them was Shikamaru who was combating the same thoughts he had been thinking all day, all about the sand kunoichi. Only five feet behind him was a Chouji and Ino, apparently Ino ‘hurt’ herself and asked Chouji to carry her. She was now on his back kissing his neck and thanking him for the ride. A rather bored Jiraiya was behind them, a little ticked that nothing good was going on. Behind him was Ten Ten and Neji who were having a rather interesting time practicing their aim on targets, mostly Naruto or Jiraiya. Bringing up the rear was Naruto and Hinata who were still in the same position as when they left, except now Naruto had brought out his CD player and started to show Hinata his music. Hinata so far liked the song Voyeur by Blink-182, because although it was dirty, it reminded her of the days she would watch Naruto.

But there little moments were ruined as the sun was just setting, giving the area an orange glow. As they came to an open clearing on the road a group of bandits jumped out of the trees at the group. All the bandits were rather big with their own set of weapons.

“Ok kiddies, stop right there and…” The leader started, but the group just kept going even the ridiculous looking Lee went by on his hands. But, as Naruto and Hinata walked by, not even breaking eye contact, the bandit began to fume.

“Ahem, Ahhh … In case you missed it we’re bandits. We take your stuff or we kill you.” The leader said raising his sword to his throat trying to send a message to the young ninja. The leaders display got Naruto’s attention. He turned on his heels to face the bandits with a frown on his face. The group had now stopped and was watching Naruto to see what he would do. They had no idea, when he had left 3 years ago he was a hothead who never turn down a fight. But Naruto just looked at the worried girl in his arms and then at the bandits leader.

“Hmmm…You know what?” Naruto said smiling widely. “Sit on it and rotate.”

The group of bandits just face planted as the group just laughed and walked on. But their trek was stopped as a kunai went through the group stopping them and redirecting their attention to the bandits.

“Okay, we were going to let you go” the bandit leader started as his men circled the group. “But for the blonde kids comment, were going to kill you” He said waiting for there shocked expressions. But instead they all had a smile or looked bored. The bandit was floored now, these people must be insane or something. “Fine screw it, Nori, grab the pink one.” The leader said.

As the said bandit reached for Sakura he was meet a foot to the face that seemed to came from no where. And there was Lee…still on his hands.

“No one will lay a hand on Sakura-Chan” He said flipping to his feet. Leaving all the bandits thinking the same thing, damn he’s fast.

“Thank you Lee but I can” But Sakura was interrupted by a rather load *Smack* sound. One of the bandits had strolled up behind Sakura and slapped her on the ass. The bandits all laughed while all the Nin backed up slowly waiting for the explosion.

“Don’t worry boss I got this one. Quite the hottie isn’t she” He said eyeing the pink haired kunoihi.

By now Sakura’s eye was twitching and she slowly reached into her pockets and came out with a pair of plated black gloves on. “PERVERT” she screeched as she slammed her fist into the mans stomach sending him flying into a near by tree. I took a lot of Lee’s strength to calm the ragging kunoichi. All of the bandits were a little scared, but they just hoped those two were the only strong ones… they were sadly mistaken.

One of the bandits lunged at Ten Ten when she had her back turned. The man barely got within a foot of her before he heard a *Pssf* and his whole body went limp. The weapon mistress turned in time to see the bandit with a look of distress and then fall revealing Neji.

“Thanks” she said looking at the Hyuuga.

“You owe me one…” He said only to watch as she took out a kunai and hurled it over his shoulder hitting a bandit square in the temple.

“…Or not” Neji breathed thanking his lucky stars she was such a good shot

Chouji was facing a gaint of a man, with a huge axe on his shoulders. The man looked at him with a bit of amusement, thinking he’d have fun with this one.

“Oi, little man” The Bandit said pointing his axe at Chouji, “You do know that size matters Right? Well, I got all the size” He said laughing at Chouji.

Multi Size Jutsu Chouji yelled, instantly towering over his opponent. “So what was that about size” Chouji asked with a grin on his face. The bandit just stammered at the sheer size he had grown. Chouji just lifted him by the collar and hurled him as if it was nothing.

Most of the bandits by now were either unconscious or had fled, leaving their leader to fend for himself.

“Who are you?” He asked.

“We are just some kids out on a walk… oh we also happen to be ninja of Konoha.” Naruto said proudly.

“Brats like you are ninja? Right, well let see what you do now.” He asked running at Naruto, who couldn’t due much with Hinata in his hands. But as the Bandit was about to lunge at them, their was a small whisper and he was caught. He looked down to see his legs encased in mud. Before he could react a small fist hit him between the eyes knocking him out.

“Nice shot Hinata” Naruto said laughing at his girlfriend’s handy work. “But who did the binding jutsu?” he asked looking around the group. No one said anything he finally stopped on Hinata, who was equally as confused. “Hinata?” He asked. She hadn’t moved her hands, they were still around his neck. Then what happened?

“Ummm…Ok well this looks like a good place to camp out to night lets just get rid of the bodies” Jiraiya said trying to cast suspicion away from what had just happened. But everyone just nodded and started to set up camp in the little clearing.

Konoha Hyuuga clan house

“Yes how can I help you” a familiar Hyuuga guard asked the two men.

“Well, we’re looking for a Demon.” Itachi said wasting no time.

The Hyuuga guard was shocked and had no idea how to handle this, so he did what he could, tell ‘em off. “We have no demon and we have no costume parties either, so good bye gentlemen.” The guard said turning around.

*Boom* was heard through out the compound as the gate was thrown across the yard. The guard turned around to lock gazes with the small man, instantly his world faded and he collapsed. The two men walked to his body and looked down.

“Well, how long do have before they come?” Kisame asked already bring his unwrapped sword out.

“I don’t know, but it seems like a lot of them.” Itachi said

“Good, I’m ready for ‘em” Kisame said walking into the courtyard. As he stopped in the middle Itachi just stood there to watch his partner work. Out of the Hyuuga house came a dozen or so guards, who all rushed out of the house. Kisame just smiled looking at the group of men, he was hoping for more of a challenge.

“What business do you have here at the Hyuuga clan house?” a guard asked approaching slowly. But Kisame just ignored him.

“I said what is your business here?” The guard asked 1 more time. But the shark Nin just blow him off looking at the others and then back at the guards.

“My business is killing,” Kisame said swinging his mighty blade with incredible speed. The guard had no chance and was cleaved in half by the blow. “And business is good!” Kisame yelled as he lunged at the other guards. With a huge downwards slash he brought his sword crashing into a part of then walkway where a Hyuuga had jumped from. As he lifted his sword a guards saw it as his chance and lunged in releasing chakra with his hit. But he only managed to hit his sword which took no damage.

Kisame just laughed and twirled the sword above his head. The Hyuuga guards all charged and let out simultaneous blows of chakra only to have no effect on the man. As the men went to retreat Kisame spun his sword around his body like a propeller and diced the guards with minimal effort.

“Have fun Kisame…” Itachi asked a little annoyed. He hated it when he had to be flashy and have his fun.

“Yah let’s find the prize…but that doesn’t mean I can’t have more fun right?” Kisame asked hopefully.

“Yes I’m sure you’ll have a lot more fun” Itachi said, Strolling done the hall of the Hyuuga estate, not even flinching at his partner’s carnage.

With the Group

Everyone had set up their stuff and were now just chatting, but Naruto and Hinata were having some problems. They still were trying to figure out what the hell happened earlier.
Hinata had just used the Jutsu without using hands, Naruto was enthralled and wanted to know what had happened.

“Okay Hinata, run through what you did, one more time” Naruto said with a thoughtful look on his face, which only caused Hinata to laugh.

“Well you see, Naruto” Hinata started “I just activated my Byakugan and I started to think of the Earth bind jutsu, and when I looked up it had already happened.”

“Wow, that’s awesome, but how did you do it.” Naruto asked looking very interested.

“Side Effect 2. I suppose.” Kyuubi said in a bored tone.

“What, Double ego?” Naruto said

“Damn, you idiot that was a joke this is really. Apparently Hinata can cast jutsu without hand seals” Kyuubi spat at his lesser half.

“Yes, I guess that’s what she gets for fusing with a demon. But it did use nearly double the normal amount of chakra.” Sichibi added.

“Who cares it was soooo cool, she could be the best ninja ever with it.” Naruto said causing the girl in his lap to blush. “Damn fox where are my perks huh?”

“Well we’ll see won’t we?” Kyuubi said with a menacing laugh.

But Naruto was dragged out of his conversion with the demons as the flap to their tent was opened.

“Naruto you better have something on cause we’re coming in” Sakura said as she entered followed by Ino and Ten Ten. The all just ‘awwwwed’ as the saw the couple sitting there in each others arms. Hinata Buried her face in Naruto’s chest feeling a little embarrassed and Naruto put his hand behind his head as usually.

“Hehe, what do you want Sakura?” Naruto asked trying to force down his blush.

“Well you need to leave, we want to talk with Hinata.” Ino said

“But I don’t wanta” Naruto said acting like a kid again

“Well to bad cause” Sakura said pushing him out the tent. “You have no choice.”

The girls all turned to Hinata to see she was looking a little worried. It brought a smile to the kunoichi’s faces, only making Hinata worry more. “So Hinata, how’s that ankle of yours” Ten Ten asked with a knowing smile.

“Ahhh fine.” She said.

“Well, is there anything else that hurts you know other then your ankle?” Sakura asked looking at her with a fake worried face.

“No I’m…fine” Hinata stammered

“Well your better then us.” Ino said with a sly grin.

“What?”

“Well my first time I could stand for 2 days, Neji is an animal.” Ten Ten said watching Hinata disappear into her sleeping bag with an ‘Eep’. The other kunoichi’s just laughed at the girls antics.

“H-h-how?” Hinata mortified beyond belief.

“Well me and Neji were watching T.V. and we heard some weird noises so we went outside and we found the nosies were coming from Naruto’s house. It only took a few seconds to identify the sound as, well, you.” Ten Ten said watching the girls blush grow to her whole body. But the girls weren’t about to let her go, they all just latched onto her giggling and cheering.

Outside every one was looking at the tent where the girls were giggling. “What do you think they’re doing?” Chouji asked looking down at the Shoji board. Shikamaru was killing him but he didn’t care, it was their way to bond.

“Celebrating” Neji said with a sly smile.

“Celebrating? What it is not anyone’s birthday is it?” Lee asked between push ups.

“No, but Hinata is now part of their ‘club’” Neji said making the quote on quote sign.

Instantly Chouji and Lee’s jaws hit the ground and they both turned to Naruto who was just sitting with Jiraiya, eating his ramen with a confused look. After the shock wore off they turned back to Neji, wondering why he wasn’t furious and trying to kill Naruto.

“Neji, Why are you so calm” Chouji asked looking very worried.

“.Well, she found a good guy so why should I care Besides it would make me a bit of a hypocrite” Neji said looking rather bored.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Naruto asked while slurping his ramen.

“Oh, well I was telling everyone how you, Naruto, fucked my cousin, Hinata.” Neji said with an evil smile. Naruto went wide eyed and would have choked if not for a strong pat on the back from both Lee and Jiraiya.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Naruto asked trying to recover from the shock.

“I told you to keep it down the Hyuuga clan house isn’t far. My room is practically on your property.” Neji said laughing at Naruto.

“Calm down Naruto” Chouji said trying to calm the boy. “You’re not alone!” Chouji said getting back to his game.

“Who would have thought Hinata had it in her?” Shikamaru said to no one particular, just voicing his opinion.

“Pssh, she isn’t the same shy Hinata anymore, Hell she even started it.” Naruto said wiping ramen off himself. Everyone just went back to there business, but Jiraiya had some questions. He was not going to let this down.

“So this is the one?” Jiraiya asked thinking about the girl the kid wouldn’t stop talking about on the trip.

“Yeah” Naruto said looking at the stars.

“So how many of your ‘Ideas’ are about her.” Jiraiya asked

“Most” Naruto said with a smile.

“Most?” Jiraiya said some what curious.

“Yeah, one I wrote… I don’t even know who the girl was.” He said with a sigh.

“Which one?”

“Slippery when Wet.”

“Wait the waterfall one.” Jiraiya said

“Yup that was my first moment of me acting like you, spying on a girl” Naruto said grinning at his teacher.

Hyuuga Clan House

Hanabi was just getting home after her training and a little dinner. But as she approached the Hyuuga gates she noticed the door was open. But more interesting was the guard who laid died inside. She quickly ran as fast as possible to the courtyard only to find a mass grave of Hyuuga guards. She activated her Byakugan and tried to find any source of life, and then she saw it 3 men standing in her father’s garden right outside of his office. She ran to the office ignoring the piles of bodies on her way. As she approached she slowed down and snuck up to the door of the garden. There stood two men, and there was her father on his knees blood on his face. It took her a second to register it, but they had torn his eyes out, they blinded him the worst insult to do to a Hyuuga. But Hiashi stood there a defiant aura around him.

“You cannot kill the Hyuuga, we are a strong clan. We will rise again.” Hiashi said breathing heavily.

“Well the problem there, Hyuuga, is that is we have finished all of your clan, to bad you didn’t have any kids or a wife. It would have been fun to make you witness there deaths” Kisame said trying to scary the Hyuuga. But he remained unwavering, and seemed a little happier.

“Oh Kisame, you hit a chord.” Itachi said looking at the man. “So you do have someone special. Well if there in this house it is too bad.” Itachi said turning to Kisame and walking away.

“Well time is up for you, you have maybe a minute before you bleed to death from those wounds so try and enjoy it, Oh and ignore the fire.” Kisame said as he turned to leave. As the two cloaked men walked through the office, Itachi stopped in front of the desk. Hanabi was shocked.

‘Oh no they found me now what. Oh no oh no.’ She thought as she watched the men. But all she heard was the shuffling of papers and a laugh.

“So that’s where they are, ok, Itachi, You were right lets let them round up the demons.” Kismae said throwing the file away and leaving with his quite partner. Once they left Hanabi ran to her fathers said, tears running down her face.

“Father!” She cried looking at his battered form. But he was gone he had succumb to the pain and died with a defiant look on his face. Hanabi was pulled from her morning as the sound of fire and buildings falling caught her attention. The compound was being burned down. She jumped to her senses and was about to leave when she remembered the file, in a second she ran into find a file marked ‘Oasis’. She grabbed it and ran into the woods beside the compound. Only a few feet away she collapsed, crying, and scared.
