Chapter 9: We Gotta go


“What do you mean ‘my eyes” Naruto asked cocking his head to one side. Then there was a rustling and Hinata was up like a flash kunai in hand. Naruto was amazed at Hinata, how agile, how dangerous and how sexy she looked with that knife, but the threat level dropped as Neji walked through the trees.

“Found ‘em” He called and out of the trees emerge the others. They looked around the area at the damage and the bodies. But then they all saw Hinata holding her kunai and standing over Naruto’s battered form, in a protective way. They all ran over to see the damage when they noticed his eyes. Everyone eye went wide and gasped at the look.

“What is it!” Naruto asked trying to sit up, but it took a little help from Hinata. No one could talk yet so Ino pulled a compact out of her weapons pouch and handed it to him. As Naruto looked himself over, he saw nothing until he got to his eye. They were no longer their cerulean blue, but a light green. In the middle his pupils were bigger taking most of his eye. Inside the e\pupil was a crosshair type design, it was two lines going through each other and in each quarter of the pupil was a symbol.

He was in shock, he thought they looked cool. Then he looked up at the group who were all looking at him in disbelief. He just put his hand behind his head and gave the a sheepish smile.

‘FOX’ Naruto erupted. ‘Quick how do I turn this off?’

‘God kit it like all the doujutsu, just stop the flow of chakra to the pocket behind your eyes.’ The fox said still winded.

Naruto quickly tried, but for the life of him couldn’t shut it down. He was starting to worry when he heard something.

‘Naruto, try by focusing on that pocket and then when you find the pocket, shut the openings’

Naruto blinked for a second and realized it was Hinata. He blink again and the smiled at her. He tried what she said, he did it and the chakra stopped. He opened his eye, and looked at Hinata who just smiled at him.

“Arigato, Hinata” Naruto said hugging Hinata, who just blushed and tried to hide in him.

“What the hell just happened?” Everyone of the teens and one adult yelled at Naruto. He just looked from them to Hinata looking for an explanation, which came in the from of Hinata.

“I left to have a bath in the river.” Hinata started and looked at Naruto. They both blushed remembering the fun they had and she continued. “Naruto found me and we were coming back when these sound Nin ambushed us.”

“Naruto you took out all these guys?” Neji asked thinking the boy was amazingly strong.

“Pssh, yeah right.” Naruto said wrapping his arm around Hinata’s waist. “Hinata got the Monster of a guy over there and the girl, well she is under ground right know” He said causing Hinata to blush more.

“WHAT!?” everyone screamed at once as their jaws hit the ground. Not one of them, save for Naruto, every thought Hinata could take out a guy that big or another opponent.

“Hinata did you really” Sakura asked amazed that shy, timid Hinata could take out that monster.

Hinata just blushed from all the attention and nodded her head slowly. Everyone just gasped and Neji strolled over to the guy and looked him over with his Byakugan to see that in fact his chakra flow from the heart was closed. But as he stood he noticed another source, of chakra, this one was dead as well, but she was so far under the ground it would have taken a serious jutsu to do that.

“He is right, the only one who could have killed him was a Hyuuga and there is a girl buried …deep to.” Neji said looking at his cousin.

“Well I think somebody has some explaining to do.” Sakura said looking at Hinata, then to Naruto. “Both of you.”

“What do you mean?” Naruto asked with a confused look.

“WHAT!?” Sakura yelled making the whiskered boy flinch. “Ok, where to start? Hinata took out to enemies like nothing, your both out here in the middle of the night ALONE, and Naruto your eye’s were very suspicious two seconds ago.”

“Ahhh…You forgot that Hinata can cast jutsu without hand seals.” Shikamaru said leaning on a near by tree.

“Yah … What?” Ino asked looking at the lazy Nara.

Hinata was starting to worry, this was a hard jam to get out of. On the one hand, she was not a very good liar and everyone would know the moment she tried to get out of it. That only left the truth, but Hinata was not so sure about that. She couldn’t tell them they would hate her, or worse fear her. She looked up at Naruto and gave him a curious look.

‘What should we tell them’ Hinata thought.

‘Well we can’t tell them not yet, unless you want to?’ Naruto said holding her tighter.

“Ahem.” Ino said looking at the two. She was getting sick of the waiting. But as the two teens turned to look at Ino the sun came over the horizon. Jiraiya saw this as the perfect opportunity to save their asses.

“Ok kiddies. This Q and A must end we have to keep moving if we are to make it today. So, no walking, running seeing as how Hinata can stand” Jiraiya said walking away. There was a mumbles of and the group turned and walked behind him looking at the couple who were at his side.

“Thank you Jiraiya.” Hinata said smiling at the white haired man.

“Yah thanks Ero-sensei.” Naruto said looking back at Hinata, and then it hit him he had some thing to say, but first. “Oh Jiraiya remember yesterday you had a question about the stories.” Naruto started. Getting both of the people at his side interested.

“Yeah, what about it.” Jiraiya asked wondering where this was going.

Naruto just wrapped an arm around Hinata pulling her closer and getting a rather nervous squeak from the girl. “They were all about her.” He said smiling at his confused teacher.

Konoha

The sun was coming up, waking all of Konoha, and everyone awoke for the day. The sun had a way to make everyone happy, the way it would hit certain things, made them look beautiful. But when the sun hits the burning ash that used to be your house, well it can’t really help. Konohamaru had just carried Hanabi out of the woods and they were both now standing on a hill looking at the remnants of the Hyuuga clan house. Hanabi had long since stopped crying and was now fighting back more tears.

“I’m sorry.” Konohamaru started. “ I know what its like to lose those dear to you.”

Hanabi just looked at the boy with a painfully sad smile that made Konohamaru sad to see. He moved his hand up to wipe away the tears and brush back the hair that had fallen into her face. She looked up slightly with a look of shock, no one had ever been this tender, this caring to her. She felt happy for the first time in a last 3 hours. He just gave her a small smile “So what do we do now?” He asked.

She was a little shocked at the fact he said we, but it warmed her a little. She looked down at the file in her hand to look it over. She opened up to look in side when she felt a breath on her shoulder. She turned to see that Konohamaru was reading over her shoulder. He looked up at her and gave her a wide grin rubbing the back of his head. Although it was goofy she liked it, it was a change from the strictness her life had.

“Hehe…sorry I just wanted to see what you were reading.”

“Ummm. They look like mission papers.” Hanabi said looking away with a blush, she hoped he didn’t notice. “They are emergency request for my sister …Hinata!” Hanabi said feeling a wave of relief wash over her. She was alive, and not only that, but so was Neji! She had to find them, they were the only family they had left. She turned suddenly on her heels and started to walk into the woods in deep thought.

“Ummm…where are you going?” The boy asked watching her intently.

“I have to find my family.” She said in a harsh tone.

“What?”

“I still have my sister and my cousin there on a mission.” Hanabi said still reading the file for a hint of where they were.

“Wait, you have no equipment, clothes, tools…Where are you going?” He asked frantically running up to her. He ran in front of her and she ran smack, right into his chest. She stumbled a little and he caught her. They were both blushing horrible by now.

Recovering from her embarrassment, Hanabi just looked up at him again. “I have to go, please, don’t try and stop me.” Hanabi was waiting for the onslaught. She was raised in a world were defiance was quickly dealt with. But all she heard was laughing she looked up confused to she the same heart melting smile as earlier.

“Stop you.” Konohamaru said a little dejected. “I’d never family is too important to leave. So that’s why I’m coming.” Konohamaru said. Turning to leave the way she was going. Hanabi was in shock for a second and then had to know.

“Wait what?” She asked.

He just looked back over his shoulder and noticed she hadn’t moved. “I said I’m coming so come on.” He said running back and taking her hand in his.”

It took Hanabi a couple of second to force down her blush, and then she turned to him. “But you can’t.”

“Why?” He asked not stopping in his run. She looked around to see that they were moving, and fast. She was to busy marveling at his caring and his hand in hers to notice he had been pulling her. They were already out of Konoha.

“Stop.” She said digging her heels into the ground.

“Why,” He asked again

“Because you cannot go. You will be a missing nin and I can’t let that happen on my behalf.” She said in a stern voice. But Konohamaru just laughed and looked her in the eye trying to get his point across.

“You don’t know who I am, do you.” He asked with a little grin

“No” She said in a curious voice, why should she.

“Oh perfect.” He said smiling wider. “I wish it could stay that way. People treat me different when they know who I am.” He said looking down

“What do you mean.” She asked looking at his hurt expression.

“Well you see I’m Sarutobi Konohamaru, the 3rds grandson” He said ignoring the gasp from his companion. “And when people find out they treat me nice, but only because of the old man. Only two people ever treated me like a real person.” He said looking even more sadden by his own words.

“Who?” She asked

“Well, the ‘Boss’ and…you.” He said looking up at her.

Hanabi couldn’t take it, he had gone through exactly what she had. She gave up on her calm façade and hugged him. She need to feel something anything, she needed him. Konohamaru for his part was stunned. Usually after his little speech people would apologize and ask to help him, or run. But she hugged him, something he always wanted.
“I was Hyuuga Hanabi, heir to the Hyuuga clan. I had the same problem. The clan treated me as a tool, they used me as the heir, made me do what they wanted. Everyone treated me like I was a thing, or like they need to treat me like a princess. I always longed for someone to treat me like a person.” She said crying lightly on his shoulder. Konohamaru hugged her tighter, hoping to help her with her need. In a way it helped them both out.

With the group

The group had been in relative silence since they left camp. But little did they all know that the two in front were talking with themselves and their demons.

“Kyuubi, what the hell is going on?” Naruto asked

“Damn kid you want a perk. And when i give it to you I get shit.” Kyuubi said in a sarcastic tone.

“Kyuubi, we were just wondering what it does?” Hinata asked trying to calm the both of them.

“Yes, Kyuubi enlighten them I’m sure Naruto will be ecstatic to learn he has a doujutsu too” Sichibi said

“A WHAT?!?” Naruto yelled

“Damn kit, there are people in here.” Kyuubi said rubbing his head. “Yah this is your bloodline limit.”

“What?” Naruto asked again

“Baka, you see most of us demons have a doujtsu, like Sichibi and her Byakugan.” Kyuubi started. “And I just gave you mine… although I’m starting to regret it.”

“Hey I can be responsible, now tell me what it is what it does everything.’

“Okay, calm brat don’t want to wet ourselves do we.” Kyuubi said laughing as the two teens went bright red.

“Kyuubi” Sichibi growled in a low tone.

“Fine, listen up brat. It is called Ryakugan, it is the seal master. Now I’m going to sow you what it can do. You remember how to turn it on?”

“Yah” Naruto said activating his new ‘toy’

“Ok the Ryakugan allows you the ability to write seals with your mind, like you did with the explosive seal.” Kyuubi lectured.

“So I can write seals on thing. What kinds are there?” Naruto questioned

“Tons but your not at that level so far you probably can only access the minor ones. Explosive, Paralyzing, Bind, Sleep and the basic element of fire.” Kyuubi said

“That’s awesome, you hear that Hinata, now I got tech like you.” Naruto bragged.

“Yes but hers is better.” Sichibi interjected

“What the Ryakugan is ten times better…” Kyuubi started. But Hinata and Naruto just tuned out the feuding couple. They both looked at each other, before their expressions fell. They didn’t need to hear the others thoughts to know what was the matter.

“When should we tell them?” Hinata asked feeling very saddened. Naruto knew what was the matter. He had to deal with this problem his whole life. The looming shadow of the demon inside him, and the hate that followed. He was glad he had Hinata, no matter who hated him they had each other and that was all he needed.

“Don’t worry we will tell them soon, besides, at least we got each other” Naruto said Kissing the girl next to him.

“Awww” The group said, making Hinata disappears and Naruto glare. That would never get old was the groups consensus.

But they all quieted down when they reached the end of the forest. It literally ended abruptly and lead into a huge desert that looked like it went on for miles. The group were amazed and started to look around when they saw shadows coming towards them. The shadows stopped in front of the group. There was a very tall one whose whole body was covered by a shall. Next to him was a smaller person in the same attire as him.

“Can I help you?” Naruto asked looking at the man in a strange way.

“Uzamaki Naruto?” The man said

Naruto jumped at this staring at the guy. “Yeah and who the hell are you.” Naruto questioned.

There was a low laugh in the mans voice before he spook. “An old Friend.”


Owwww.. more soon hehehehe
