"Amazing, the sky is so blue!" Naruto grasped out, looking at the sky. The party of thirteen ninjas continued onward.
"There will be a storm soon." Shino answered in a low voice, not wanting to get too much attention. Naruto looked at him, little angry for ruining his perfect mood, but before he could respond, the ninja hounds around them stopped, in an attempt to search the ground better.
"Pakkun, what do we have?" Kakashi asked the small dog/puppy.
"She is close, probably set few traps around, since it seems she spend quite some time here." At that moment, Hinata jumped few feet back to avoid the kunai ranging her way. Everybody took defensive stances; a person of such level could not be underestimated.
Her name was Kira, but she was most commonly known as "The Demon." She used to be a member of Akatsuki, but left few years ago. From that time, she became known as the most dangerous woman in the world. Kira also became one of the biggest threats to Konoha, every day killing at least one ninja.
"You actually found me, brats." A sneaky voice, much like Itachi's, came from a nearby tree. "Who should I kill now? Maybe the white eyed one, I guess." She fixed her gaze on Hinata. Kira jumped down from the tree, letting her killer intent show.
Hinata slipped into a battle stance as Kira used a single technique to throw everybody back, clearing the field for their fight. Hinata ducked under a kick and then threw few shuriken, not certain what was she aiming for. Her Byakugan activated, she blocked another series of kicks and punches, careful not to get close to any member of her team.
"She looks so innocent." Kira thought, amused with the look at the twelve year old girl. "If so, then let me use the Demon curse on her, it will be a perfect way to end her life." Kira then withdrew herself, and performing 10 hand seals, a burst of light engulfed Hinata almost instantly.
Neji watched his cousin, as she let out a scream before the light totally swallowed her. He pointed his attention to Kira, who got caught up in the light as well. The situation remained still for a moment, then the light suddenly disappeared, only to reveal Hinata, lying on the ground. There were no signs of Kira anywhere.
"Hinata-chan, you did it!" Naruto was the first one to get up. He ran over to Hinata and started shaking her, in hope that she would wake up. A blow that came from behind made Naruto fly few meters away into a nearby tree.
"You idiot!" Sakura looked at Naruto through eyes of hate. "She might be injured! Why did you shook her like that?" She stepped over to Hinata and started measuring her pulse. She froze and tried again. She couldn't feel anything. Withdrawing her hand, Sakura felt a tear on sliding on her cheek.
"Sakura-chan, how is she?" Naruto ran to them, unaware of what is happening. Bringing to words what everybody was afraid to say, Kakashi answered dully:
"She is dead, Naruto."
