Even with my white byakugan I found it hard to see five feet around me with dust and ash sitting heavy with in the village. I turned my eyes on to see almost half the village destroyed and bodies littering the streets. We were losing against the ten tails and the Akatsuki and I wasn't sure how much longer we could hold them off for even with the combined shinobi forces we were at our limit.
"Hinata-chan we found you." I crane my neck to look at Kiba, Akamaru and Shino looking worn out and tired as much as I am.
"ah sorry I-" I looked at the dead genin in my arms and I held back a sob. I put the poor boy down and put my jacket over his body before I picked myself up and started walking.
Kiba and Shino each took my hands and together the four of us walked toward what was left of Konoha's nin.
"Hinata-chan thank god." I was taken by surprise when Naruto rushed to give me a hug. I blushed and despite everything I melted into his warmth.
"I was worried, you shouldn't go of by yourself." I smiled and nodded into his chest. He let go of the hug only to look me up and down to see how injured I was. When he caught sight of the gash on my forearm he gently dragged me toward Sakura.
"ne Sakura-chan Hinata-chan is hurt can you watch over her while I go find Tsunade ba-chan." She smiled at him before he took off. I sat down and I watched her stitch me up.
"It seems Naruto-kun has finally taken notice of you..." She trailed off as she was a bit too rough with her grip.
"Hai so it seems." She refused to look me in the eye so I was beginning to worry.
"Sorry, Sakura-chan are you ok? Is there anything I can do?" She froze before she took a deep breath in and then looked at me with a sad smile.
"Hai Hinata-chan... I'm sorry- never mind." I put my hand over hers so she would meet my eyes.
"You're my important friend Sakura-chan. I know this hard but I promise no matter what we will get through this together ne?" My words must have triggered something because the next thing I knew she was in my arms sobbing and apologizing for something I had no knowledge of. So I held her till she stopped but did not make a move to leave my embrace.
"I have an announcement everybody." Tsunade and Naruto stood atop some rubble to address the group.
"The 5 kage seal we used to hold the 10 tails is breaking so we don't have much time. Look I'm going to be honest with you, there is no way of stopping it that we know of. So this is it, the last fight against Obito- madara or what ever you want to call him."
Naruto stepped up next but I couldn't hear what he was saying and all I could do was see Neji's dead body and I felt my heart break. I deafening cheer broke me out of my morbid world. Everyone had a fired up look so I knew Naruto's speech had worked but not on me, I could see the seal breaking and see the beast itself, I knew better.
I slowly backed away and stole into to the empty streets. I walked through the fallen city and past Gaara of the sand who looked at me like he wanted to stop me but his people distracted him. Past Ao of the mist who I was suppose to hate and all his fellow nin. Past all the allied shinobi forces and into the blackened forest where the white Zetsu's only stared at me instead of attacking. They were waiting to see what I was going to do because obviously I wasn't a threat to them. I came to stop in front of the ten tails beast who watched me with a cold blood red eye.
"Go back Hyuga." I didn't need to turn to know who was talking to me.
"Go where Itachi-san? He's going to break through that barrier soon and when he does I will have no where to go back to." He merely tilted his to the side but said nothing.
"So you decided to kill yourself before that happens?" Sasuke stepped out from the shadows beside his brother with a blood soaked katana. I sadly smiled as I looked at the great beast and really what I felt wasn't terror but pity. I had pity for a beast that only knows death and destruction.
"You're a foolish girl who will never truly be a shinobi. You sympathize when you should crave its death for what has taken from you." I shook my head as I watched the barrier break before me.
"Who is the foolish one that spends their life consumed by nothing but hate? How worthless and empty would that life be?" I knew he wanted to kill me but his brother held his arm and looked up.
"It's time." Itachi frowned and pulled his brother away before the giant paw came down upon me.
"Hinata-chan NOOO!" I heard Naruto and the others scream my name but it was drowned out by the humming in my ear.
I let go of the breath I held and re-solidified my body to regain my senses. Days before this war started I had been able to create a technique that would turn my entire being into a chakra form for about three seconds. It was only three seconds I had needed to make sure that with the impact of the beast's paw I was absorbed into the demon. I stayed still trying to catch my breath and open my eyes. Only then did I realize I had never closed them. Everything was black and I was floating in the suffocating dark with no idea what to do next. My eyes were no help so I deactivated them to save energy.
"Can anyone here me?" The humming stopped and their was only silence before an ear-popping crackle sound echoed everywhere and a sudden light blinded my eyes. My eyes adjusted to the light and I found myself floating toward it, wanting to know what it was.
"Naruto-kun." I was seeing what the demon was seeing.
"You're familiar with the nine tails?" I whipped my head around to see the Rinnegan that had haunted my dreams so many nights but these ones were red.
"Who are you?" The man in question stepped into the light more and his red necklace caught my attention.
"A Hyuga? Well I did not foresee this. I think it's about time I figured out Why and how you got here." He put his hands on either side of my head and his strength was so great I couldn't move as he did what he pleased with my mind. I started to whimper as the pain of having my mind ripped apart was to great so I shoved him away with all the remaining strength I owned. I fell to the ground clutching my head like it was the only thing holding it together.
"The ability to completely make your body into chakra is impressive little one but your plan is foolhardy." I felt the impact on the side of my stomach like someone had ripped a chunk of me out.
"It looks like the nine tails is angry but even he is not enough to face against the ten tails." I turned to see us fight the nine tails and I shivered in fear at the pure rage I saw in it's eyes.
That's my first chapter. I haven't written anything in so long! please review and get me motivated.
