It has been a full day now since she had left Konoha. She had enough food and water with her to last at least 3 more days, but wouldn’t need it if she passed through a small village.
A smile appears on the young girl’s face as she notices a ramen shop. She enters the shop, which seemed to look a lot like the ramen shop in Konoha. As she sits down at the bar, she picks up the menu, and browses through it, wondering what to order. A man, in his mid forty’s, walks up to her. “You look rather hungry there miss. And looking at your bag, it seems you’ll have a rather long journey ahead of you, am I right?” Hinata smiles at the man politely. “Yes I am sir. And I’m rather hungry too.” The man smiles back at Hinata and takes the menu away from her rather abruptly. “A friendly young girl like you deserves something special! Just you wait! I’ve got a special ramen dish just for you! And I won’t charge you extra!” Hinata blinks in surprise, but smiles as the man starts working on her order, which he himself agreed to. It was rather odd, but amusing.
A few minutes later the man places the bowl filled with hot ramen and a lot of meat and vegetables. Hinata takes out a pair of disposable chopsticks, and takes her first bite. She decided this was probably one of the best ramen she has ever tasted, though the usual ramen wasn’t her favourite thing to eat. She couldn’t help herself as she started to blush. The image of her eating ramen as Naruto suddenly sits next to her, and joins her. That’s when she thought about why she actually left Konoha, and opens her bag, taking out a picture of Naruto.
She hands shows it at the shop owner as she swallows the contents of her mouth before speaking up. “A-Ano… I was wondering if you perhaps have seen this boy. He go’s by the of Uzumaki Naruto. He’s about the same age as me.” The man takes the picture from Hinata and carefully studies the photograph. Hinata then notices a hopeful smile on the man’s face as he hands her back the picture. He takes out a book and opens it. After browsing through the content he stops at a specific page and turns the book into Hinata’s view, pointing at a picture, showing him, Jiraiya, and Naruto rather goofy looking. “That’s him right?” Hinata smiles at the sight of the happy Naruto. “So his name is Uzumaki Naruto eh? I’d better write that down. He alone made my shop a better place. In one day he single handedly had me reach this month’s target. And his sensei worked his way through half of my sake stock!” Hinata lets out a hopeful sigh, for this was the first clue to Naruto’s whereabouts. “Its sad to say that this was a little more then a month ago.” Hinata perks up and looks at the man with determent eyes. “Which way did they set out to?” The man thought for a second and looks up at Hinata again. “I believe they said they where headed North-West towards the Hidden Village of the Sand.” Hinata closed her eyes, thinking about what to do now. The Hidden Village of the Sand was almost 3 days travelling at full speed for her at her current location. Even if she’d reached the Sand in less then a day, she knew she wouldn’t find Naruto there. But then she smiles and opens her eyes again. That’s where she’ll find the next clue on Naruto’s whereabouts, and so that’s where she’ll be going. She sits down again and smiles at the shop owner. “Thank you. You’ve helped me out a lot with this information.” The shop owner smiles back at the shy young girl. “No problem. It’s not every day I have a beautiful young lady enjoying my ramen special. Now please continue the bowl before it gets cold.” Hinata blushes at the comment of the shop owner and nods. “Thank you.” Hinata continues her bowl of ramen, enjoying every little bit.
A few minutes later, she takes out her purse and pays the shop owner for her ramen.
Hinata bowed to the shop owner in respect and continued her way to face her fears, this time into the direction of the Hidden Village of the Sand.
Six hours away from the village, a group of leaf shinobi’s speed into the direction of the small village. Akamaru barks loudly and stops on top of a thick branch of a large tree. Kiba kneels next to him and pets his head. Behind them, the other ninja’s, Kurenai, Sakura, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru and Shino, land in the same tree. Kurenai kneels next to Kiba and Akamaru. “What’s wrong?” Kiba turns to his sensei then nods into the direction Akamaru’s nose is pointing. “A village in that direction. Hinata’s trail seems to head straight towards it. Pherhaps she’s searching the village to find him there?” Neji shakes his head in disagreement. “It’s highly unlikely Hinata will search the village. First of all she wouldn’t have to cause when she activates her Byakugan she’d be able to search the entire village without moving an inch. I think she might have taken a break, and perhaps replenished her supplies.” Kurenai nods, thinking the same thing. “Kiba, how old is the trail at this moment?” Kiba looks at Akamaru as he barks, then turns to Kurenai again. “Hmmm about six hour’s sensei.” Kurenai blinks for a sec and then sighs, smiling a slight bit. She has improved quite a lot this past year, to be able to keep the same distance between us since we left. The female Jounin thought. She didn’t expect Hinata to be this determent to have her push beyond the limits she has shown all these years. Kurenai was feeling a slight bit of pride for seeing how her student managed to keep herself away from them. Kurenai turned to the others with a serious look on her face. “We’ll check the village for any clues that might be useful to us in tracking her. After that, we’ll meet up again at the other side of the village to review what we have found out. Any questions?” The silence from her other team mates said enough. “Okay, spread out!” The seven leaf shinobi vanish in a blur, and headed towards the village.
Neji and Tenten walk through the street and looks around, till he suddenly stops. Tenten stops a second later and turns to Neji. “What’s wrong?” Neji turns his head to the right. “Nothing probably. Just a hunch.” Neji turns and walks to the ramen shop, with Tenten fallowing him not far behind. The ramen shop owner notices Neji, and wonders whats up today with kids and pale eyes. “Good evening, can I help you two with something?” Neji looks around before turning his full attention to the shop owner. “Perhaps you can. We are looking for a girl who’s a head shorter then I am, dark blue hair, and the most distinguished feature is that she has the same pale eyes as me. I was hoping she went past here.” The shop owner didn’t trust Neji one little bit. Even though he looked a lot like the young girl a few hours ago, he sounded a bit to cold for comfort. Tenten notices the man’s uneasiness and steps up, next to her team mate. “I’m sorry for my friend here. He has these emotional problems, and tends to react like this towards strangers.” Neji turned his head towards Tenten and opened his mouth, wanting to say something in his defence as he suddenly feels a sharp pain in his buttocks. Tenten was squeezing and twisting his cheeks hard. “You see this girl is our niece, and she ran away from home yesterday, and her father sent us to go get her again. It’s an evil world out there, with dangers lurking around every corner, and well…. She’s just one little girl all alone. We wanna find her before something bad happens. Could you help us please?” Tenten putts up a serious face, as if she’s really concerned about her so called niece, while Neji stays surprisingly quiet. The only sound coming from the Hyuuga where some smothered moans, and the grinding of his teeth, as Tenten keeps squeezing and twisting his buttocks (LOL rofl ) . The shop owner hesitated for a moment, but then decides to trust this young girl at the other side of his counter. “She’s been here this afternoon eating some ramen. Nice girl, though she doesn’t seem to be someone to run away like that. But you’re right. Its to dangerous out there, and its getting dark soon as well. What do you want to know?” Tenten sighs in relief and lets Neji go out of his tormenting position. He rubs his behind, knowing he’ll feel this for at least a few days. “Tell us everything you know. And if possible, even where she might be headed for.”
The shop owner clears his throat before telling the 2 teenagers in front of him what he told the young girl a few hours ago. “She was looking for a boy, Uzumaki Naruto I believe. He and the man that was with him where talking about going to the Hidden Village of the Sand. After I told her, she left almost immediately.” Tenten smiles and bows politely towards the shop owner. “Thank you a lot sir! You really helped us out here! Let’s go Neji!” Without farther warning she grabbed Neji’s arm, and pulls him with her as she walked out of the ramen shop, waving at the shop owner.
Once outside she lets Neji’s arm go and stops. Neji rubs his behind again and starts to glare at Tenten. “Why the hell did you do that for?” Tenten smiles widely. “Well, you weren’t getting anywhere. If I didn’t stop you, you would’ve scared that poor man even more. Then we never would’ve gotten this information.” Neji keeps rubbing his sore spot as he walks past Tenten. “Whatever. Do it again, and I won’t be so forgiving.” Tenten couldn’t care less, and he knew it. Neji nods to Tenten, and the 2 vannish in a blur, heading towards the other side of the village, where they’ll meet with the others.
Outside the village at a small clearing in the thick forest Kurenai, Sakura, Lee, Kiba and Shino waited for Tenten and Neji. They didn’t have to wait much longer as Tenten and Neji appear in front of Kurenai in a blur. “Kurenai-sensei, we have gotten some valuable information. Hinata has been located in the village , and it seems she’s heading towards the Hidden Village of the Sand.” Neji moves away from Tenten and Kurenai, having nothing to report, still rubbing his behind, as Kiba, Shikamaru and Lee walk up to him. Kiba smirks while petting Akamaru, who’s staying comfortably inside Kiba’s jacket. “What happened to you? Stung by a bee or something?” Neji mutters a bit as he turns his head around, glaring at Tenten again. “It’s like you have always been saying Shikamaru, women really are troublesome.” Shikamaru sighs and shakes his head while having his hands in his pockets as always, and follows Neji’s glaring eyes towards Tenten and sighs, closing his eyes. “Figures….”
Sakura, who over heard the conversation between the boys, enrages again, and swings her fist at the threesome. Neji saw it coming, and leans back, dodging the punch, while Shikamaru did a Kawarimi No Jusu, and a wooden log appears being hit by Sakura instead himself. He reappears on the ground a few meters from Sakura, watching the clouds. Kiba just ducked, barely dodging the punch as well, leaving Lee to be the unlucky one, who was right behind him. The thick eye browed guy receives the full force of Sakura’s punch, and fly’s at least 5 meters away, before hitting the ground. Konoha’s beautiful green beast was lying on the ground, twitching and bleeding. “Ughh…”
Moments later, Kurenai addresses her team. “Okey people, listen up! Hinata headed towards Hidden Sand. We are lucky they are allies, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. It’s almost a 3 day trip, and she still has a 6 hour head start. We need to go faster to catch up on her. I doubt she’ll stay in Sand for long so I hope we really catch her there. Cause if she stays ahead of us, and leave the Sand before we could even catch her, she might head straight into less friendly territory. I’d like to avoid this as much as possible. Dump everything you won’t necessarily need so you’ll carry less weight, and can travel faster. Everyone dumps the stuff they think they won’t really need, and minutes later, Kurenai ordered them all to start moving again.
The next morning, Akamaru barks after he sniffed the ground around a pile of still smoking ashes. Team Kurenai decided to keep moving last nigh, and discovered the last resting spot of Hinata. Shikamaru told Neji to check their surrounding with his Byakugan, to check for traps.
Neji nods and checks the area, and seems to smile a bit while doing so. “Heh…. You’ve trained her well Kurenai-sensei. She might be naïve, but she became far more skilled in the past year.” Kurenai turns to Neji looking a bit surprised. She knew Neji had developed a soft side towards Hinata, but to give her compliment like this was a first. Even Tenten seemed amazed. Kiba finally alerted everyone with some good news for a change. “It seems Hinata had left this place little less then 4 hours ago.”
Shikamaru sat on a rock while the rest where examining the area. He sighted as he heard Kiba’s report. “It looks like we will be able to catch her tonight if we keep up this up.” He thought about the mission he led to bring Sasuke back a little more then a year ago, and the way it all turned out. Silently he was glad he didn’t have to lead this mission. He sensed that they where heading straight towards trouble. But that wasn’t his biggest concern. In less then 2 days from then, he would most probably see THAT woman again. Things truly will turn out to be rather troublesome indeed. He should’ve told Sakura he was having the flue or something when she picked him up for this mission. He knew this would happen. His mother was a scary person, but this sand shinobi was still the scariest woman he ever met.
Kurenai claps her hands once to get everyone’s attention. “Okay, we’re finally making some progress, however, we shouldn’t slow down now. She had probably an hour of rest last night, so she’ll have a small advantage. If we keep going at the same passé as we did the last couple of hours, we should be able to sleep for 2 or 3 hours tonight without losing to much ground. When we reach the Hidden Sand, we should be able to catch her there.” The seven leaf shinobi leap up into the trees again, and picked up speed again, with Kiba and Akamaru in front, fallowing Hinata’s sent.
A few hours ahead of the 7 Leaf shinobi, Hinata speeds through the trees, heading directly towards the Sand. She surprised herself on how fast she could actually go, and going on for some time now to. The woods started to get thinner and the trees smaller, while the temperature rises slowly. These signed told her the land was getting drying, and she’s getting closer and closer to the dessert.
Suddenly, out of the blue, a Kunai swings towards her. Hinata took notice of the treat just in time and twirls, dodging the projectile by less then an inch. To Hinata’s surprise, an explosive tag was connected to it, and as soon as the kunai slams into the base of the tree she landed in, it exploded. The explosion knocks Hinata out of balance, and falls down towards the ground. She had no where to catch on to stop her from falling, and twirled around preparing to land roughly, when she’s caught by a net which was spun between four trees. She didn’t waste any time, took out a kunai and cut through the net. She fell down again, and lands on all fours to break the fall.
As Hinata looked around, she noticed she was surrounded by four ninja’s. She could easily identify them as shinobi from the Hidden Village of Rain. And not only where these 4 Rain shinobi, they also where of Chuunin level, looking at the vests they whore. She knew she was in real big trouble. “Hmmm… This isn’t any ordinary girl. The way she moved through the trees, dodged the kunai and how quickly she got out of the net she seems to be a ninja.” One said while another stepped forwards. Looking at her through his goggles he suddenly grins widely. “Well well well boys… It’s seems luck has crossed our road.” The biggest of the four Rain shinobi moved forwards and looks at the young girl as well and smirks. “I guess you’re s**t out off luck girl! Hehehehe! First mistake you made is to travel alone through these woods during these dangerous times. Second mistake is to run into us, and finally, your third and biggest mistake….. To be born in Konoha and as a Hyuuga at that. You have no idea how much we want to cut you up and all kind off experiments on you. That al for those pretty eyes of yours.” He rubs the right cheek of Hinata gently while grinning evilly. Hinata looked at the Rain ninja with big and scared eyes. “Don’t worry to much about it girl, you’ll gonna have a nice long nap on the way to our village.” The ninja takes out a small needle with sleeping poison on it and thrusts it towards Hinata’s neck.
She closed her eyes as she suddenly finds herself in a totally different location. Her vision was a slightly bit blurry but when she focussed she knew where she was. She was standing in front of Neji at the preliminary round of the Chuunin exams. She saw his lips move as if he was talking to her, but everything was quiet. She couldn’t even hear herself breathing. Then, she heard a loud and very familiar voice calling for her. “HINATA !”
She could just hit herself in the head right there and then, nearly forgetting why she left Konoha. She couldn’t have it end right there.
Hinata opened her eyes again, and swiftly blocks the hand that almost had her neck pierced with the poisoned needle. She couldn’t stop here, now she’s this close to find the next clue towards her goal. She thrusts her left hand into her enemy’s stomach, punching the air out of him. He took a step back as Hinata preformed a few hand seals while she closed her eyes. “Byakugan!” Hinata opened her eyes again, and large veins appeared around her eyes. Without warning she charged forwards, surprising the Rain ninja she punched a few seconds ago. This time however, she thrusts the palm of her hand into his chest. As her hand made contact with his chest, blue charka shot out of his back, and blood pored out of his mouth as he dropped to the ground. Hinata turned to the other three Rain ninja’s, glaring at them. “I have no time for any of you. Leave or die… Your choice… Decide quickly…” She leans back into her battle stance as the shinobi with the goggles suddenly charged at Hinata in a blind rage. “DIE!” He draws both his Shinobigatana’s, slashing and cutting at Hinata, who dodges most of them. The last slash hit her shoulder side slightly, but she pushed his left arm away, leaving his chest completely open to her attack, and finishes him off the same way as his bigger team mate a few seconds ago. The only female of the Rain shinobi team leaped up into the tree after her team mate charged at Hinata and gets killed. The female ninja threw five needles with an extraordinary precision at Hinata, who could only dodge 3 and needed to block the needles with her arms. As the needles slammed into her arms she noticed that the long haired Rain shinobi swiftly preformed a few hand seals. “Akumu No Justu!” Hinata noticed blue charka surging through, what seemed a thin thread which connected the needles to the female shinobi who thrown then, and tried to pull them out, but was too late. She suddenly found herself in a pitch black area. A voice was heard whispering to her. “Welcome…. To your worst nightmare’s, properly created by yours truly.”
Meanwhile, in Konoha, Kakashi, Gai, and Asuma returned from their mission, ran into Shizune. “Great! You’re here finally!” Kakashi, who was reading ‘Ichi Ichi Female Secrets’, lowered his book and looks a bit confused at Shizune. “Hmmm? What do you mean finally? I think we are rather quick, ending our mission in only 5 days, while 7 was estimated.” “What ever! You need to report to the Hokage right away!” Asuma lights another cigarette and butts into the conversation between Kakashi and Shizune. “Don’t tell me something bad happened. Last time I needed to report to Tsunade-sama, I was told that Chouji and Shokamaru where in the hospital.” He blows a bit of smoke into Shizune’s face, just to annoy her. “It IS bad! So lets get going! Tsunade-sama will explain the situation in her office!”
Tsunade was waiting for them rather impatiently and chewed up at least a dozen pencils as Sizune finally arrives with Kakashi, Gai, and Azuma. “You called for us Hokage-sama?” The seriousness level was unusually high on Tsunade’s facial expression. “I need you for another mission.” Kakashi blinks a sec as Tsunade stares straight into his eyes, sending the chills down his spine. “There is an unusual tension rising from the hidden Sound….. I need you to infiltrate the hidden sound, and get as much info as you can get. But beware… Sources also spoke of Uchiha Sasuke showing up a lot latelywithin Sound’s territory.” Kakashi’s exposed eye narrows. “Sasuke….” “Also, Hyuuga Hinata left Konoha on her own, most probably searching for Naruto. I send Kurenai to get her back. I send Sakura away along with her. She doesn’t need to find out this information this early on.” Tsunade sighs deeply, feeling as if the entire world is slowly starting to crumble around her. Kakashi nods. “I’ll leave right away Hokage-sama.” Gai steps forwards as Kakashi vanishes in a puff of smoke. “Hokage-sama, did Lee join Kurenai on her mission?” Tsunade nods as a hawk suddenly fly’s through her window and land on her desk, with a scroll bonded on it’s back. Tsunade take the scroll from the hawk and watches it vanish in a puff of smoke. She opens the scroll and sighs deeply as she reads the content. She roles the scroll back up and turns her attention back to Gai. “You and Asuma need to prepare for departure as well. Shizune will join you as well.” Shizune nods and leaves to prepare for the new mission.
Kakashi walks through the large gates of Konoha, and sighs deeply as he looks up at the clear sky. In a blur, he suddenly vanishes into the woods, heading in the direction of the Sound, knowing this is going to be a tough mission.
Akamaru barks loudly to Kiba, as Kurenai moves next to him, while they speed through the bushes, heading into the direction of the Sand. ”What is it Kiba?” Kiba frowns for a second before answering. “He picked up the sent of blood, and the sent of seven others in her direction. Three of them seem to be a slight bit further away, but I can’t say for sure.” Kurenai looks in front of her and narrows her eyes. “We might be to late…… Hinata… Damn!” She turns her head, looking over her shoulder to the others and sighs. “Kurenai-sensei. You are much faster then we are. If Hinata really is in trouble, you might be able to help out. We’ll be not far behind.” Kurenai slowed down a sec, till she was next to Shikamaru. “I’ll be going ahead. You’ll be in charge till you catch up with me.” Shikamaru blinks, and then sighs deeply. “More troublesome things …. I just know I’ll regret it in the end…” Kurenai gave Shikamaru a short glare before slowing down again till she was next to Shino. “Shino. Plant one of your bugs on me. I’ll be taking Akamaru ahead of you. Hinata might be in trouble, and I can travel much faster then you. Take the lead from Kiba. I’m off.” Kurenai speeds forwards again, till she’s next to Kiba. “I’ll need to barrow Akamaru for a while.” Kiba sighs and nods. “Akamaru will be showing you the way by pointing his nose into the direction you should be going. Take good care of him.” Kurenai nods and takes Akamaru, and suddenly increases her speed dramatically, leaving the other to bite her dust.
The darkness suddenly revealed a figure walking slowly towards Hinata. She took a few steps back, but froze when the figure came closer and recognised him. “N-Naruto-kun……” Naruto stopped on 2 feet from her and grins. “Hinata-chan...” He slowly slides into his fighting pose. “…Let’s us fight…” Hinata blinks a few times and takes a step back before being able to answer. “W-What? N-No… I c-can’t fight you…” Naruto grin grows even wider now. “You’ve always been weak Hinata… You make me sick… And now… It’s time for me to cure myself… And kill you…” She was afraid, but she looked a bit more confident now. “You’re not Naruto-kun… He would never attack his friends… You’re a fake… An illusion…” Naruto smirks slightly. “Fake huh? An illusion? Would an illusion be able to do… THIS!” He quickly darts forwards on slammed his fist deeply into Hinata’s stomach, who collapsed onto the ground, coughing up blood. Naruto grabs her by her throat, and pulls her to his face. “Illusions can’t hurt real like this, can they? So why does it hurt then hm? Hehehehe!” He lets go of her throat, just to slam his fist straight into her face, knocking her to the ground. Naruto slowly walks towards Hinata, still smiling. “There is no place in this world for the weak. And you, Hinata-chan, are weak. Therefore you must die.” He kicks Hinata in the chest, making her roll away, and stop when she was on her back. The young girl coughed up even more blood before trying to get up, just to be kicked in the head by Naruto. Hinata slams against the ground, as the blood now runs from her nose as well. Naruto watches amusingly as Hinata struggles back onto her feet, with her back towards Naruto. “How does it feel Hinata-chan? When you know you’re going to die?” Hinata stands straight and balanced again as she replies. “I’ll show you…” Naruto frowns and stands into his battle stance again as Hinata turns around. “Byakugan!” Hinata’s eyes changed again, and looks straight through Naruto as she too stands into her battle stance. Naruto charges at Hinata, and lays punch after kick after punch at her, who she in return dodge quite easily. This wasn’t Naruto’s fighting style at all. The real Naruto, if he wanted to, wouldn’t attack her head on like this. As she suddenly ducks, dodging a punch, she moved into his comfort zone, and slammed both hands into his chest, knocking the blond away a few feet. Hinata stands up again and walks to the fake Naruto, holding her side, and wipes some blood from her face with her other hand. “It looks like I’m not the only one who gets wounded in this genjutsu.” The Naruto form fades away, and makes place for the female Rain Chuunin. “Perhaps, however, you still forget that you’re still inside my genjutsu, and you can’t do anything outside it… Tetsuo! Kill her now!”
While Hinata was in a trance the last remaining male walked to the helpless young Hyuuga. He drew a kunai and smirked widely, looking at his female, and only remaining, companion, who seemed to be wounded somehow. “This is just no fun now.” The female glared at him. “Just kill her already! Send her to the same place she sent them! Just hurry up! I can’t hold her in this jutsu for much longer!” He sighs and turns back to the helpless Hinata, then looks at his kunai. “I still don’t think this’ll be much fun… I’d rather see her suffer some more before dieing… oh well, I’ll just cut her throat then and watch her drown in her own blood.” A foul grin is forced on his face as he pull’s Hinata’s head back by her hear, and places his kunai at her throat.
