Hinata saw her sister and her cousin dead at her feet. She was crying and couldnt stop because not far away was the bodies of Naruto, Ino, Sakura, Tenten, Shino, Kiba, Akamaru, Iruka, and everyone else she loved. The Akatsuki were standing by her congratulating her on how strong she has become and that she has passed the test.
Hinata thought to herself, "This isn't a test. It is betrayal of my family and friends. I cant do this anymore!" Some how they had passed through her lips and Itachi was suddenly in front of her so close he could have kissed her instead he spoke to her.
"It is betrayal. That is the test to see if you would really betray those close to you like I and the rest of us did. We should be heading to the next village to find a new recruit." Itachi smirked at her tear-stained face and walked towards their next destination. The akatsuki was trying to get some new members because of the other jinchuurikis they were looking for.
Deidara saw the same pain that had filled him during this test on Hinata's face. The young blonde smiled at Hinata and said, "Me and Sasori will stay her so you can go by every body and make sure they are all dead." Hinata saw that he had meant for her to say goodbye to the bodies and smiled. "Okay." Deidara had become sort of like a brother to her as they had gotten along ever since Hinata painted Deidara and Sasori's nails for the first time.
As the rest of the Akatsuki followed Itachi and Kisame, Hinata was apologizing to each of the bodies for the betrayal and stopped at Naruto. Deidara walked up next to her and said, "You loved him didnt you?" The lavender-eyed girl jumped at his voice as she was stirred from her thoughts. She smiled and said, "You dont know love. I wont know it soon either but yes I loved him..." Fresh tears fell down her face and Sasori walked behind Deidara. "BOO!"
Deidara screamed and turned around. Sasori was his regular red-headed self again and seemed to be more human like when the Akatsuki wasnt around. Hinata stared as the Deidara blushed and Sasori kissed his forehead. "Poor little Deidara scared of his Master." Hinata was confused so she said shyly, "W-what is go-going on?"
Sasori frowned and forgot that Hinata was standing there. "You tell anyone about this and you will be killed by me personally." Seeing the fear in her eyes, he said quickly, "I wont kill you but you cant tell anyone about us. No one knows...Only you."
Hinata nodded and hearing something move, she turned around. Naruto was getting up and looked Hinata straight in the eyes. "Why would you do this? I thought that you loved us all! If I ever recover then I am going to seek my revenge against you! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS! TO ME AND EVERYONE! YOUR OWN...friends..." His voice faded as he noticed that she was crying and hugging onto Deidara who held as if she was a little sister.
Naruto saw how his words hurt the shyest girl he knew. "Hinata. I...I'm...I'm sor-" He stopped as Hinata grabbed him around the throat. She smiled straight in his face and said, "You're not sorry. You're just saying that because I was crying. You cant stand hurting people especially those you love the most."
Deidara tried stepping towards Hinata but was held back by Sasori. The blonde akatsuki member looked back up at the puppet master and realized that they were bystanders and not part of this. Sasori knew something bad was going to happen but didnt say anything to worry Deidara.
Naruto gurgled a little and just stared at Hinata. He was surprised not only at her sudden mood swing but also the strength the young girl possessed. He reached into his back pocket and reached for a kunai that was in the pouch right under it. Once he grabbed it, Naruto brought it up and aimed it for her heart with the most of the strength he had left. It hit something hard and flew out of his hands.
Hinata looked down at the small hole in her cloak and smirked, "You thought me of all people would be that stupid to get close enough to you without protection? Idiot!" She had tears in her eyes again and continued, "You were going to try to kill me! How could you Uzumaki?"
Naruto quit struggling and looked into her eyes, "How could I? What about you killing everyone? And since when do you call me Uzumaki? What happened to calling me Naruto..."He stopped talking and everything faded away slowly. The last thing he saw was a bloody kunai in Hinata's hand.
The young girl turned away and walked towards where the rest of the Akatsuki had gone. Deidara looked at the now dead Naruto and was sort of upset that he had lived through his extraction of the kyuubi. If he would have died then Hinata wouldnt have had to go through that, he thought.
Sasori started walking too pulling Deidara along. After making sure that his puppet he had been in was connected and also being pulled along, hurried to catch up with Hinata. Deidara looked back watching as some of the citizens of the village finally got to the bodies. Many were crying but barely anyone was paying attention to Naruto's body. He had been the one that had tried to get everyone away but failed no one would ever know that.
Finally they joined up with the rest of the Akatsuki. Hinata was in a horrible mood and the only people that could get close to her without getting attacked was Deidara, Sasori and Itachi. Zetsu was getting angry and finally just left the hideout. Tobi decided he wanted to hang around Deidara a bit more so when he went to ask Hinata where he was, she glared at him punched him. The mask cracked and people stared. No one moved until Deidara walked in saying, "Hey Hinata would you like to..." Seeing her bloody knuckles and Tobi's cracked mask he ran over and checked to see if anything else was damaged on both.
The akatsuki leader smiled and left the room. Most of the others did too except for Itachi, Deidara, Tobi and Hinata. Hinata was looking down at her hands seeing blood on them she wiped it off on her cloak and sat down in a chair. Deidara sat Tobi down and sat next to Hinata. Tobi just stared as his mask started to crumble little by little starting a the center of the crack. Itachi was standing at the doorway watching the mask with an emotionless face until Tobi grabbed it and tore it off. Before the mask hit the floor Itachi was at his neck.
"Is this a joke!" Itachi was furious and Hinata finally looked up. Her jaw dropped and Deidara just sat there showing no change of emotion.
Tobi smiled, half his face was scarred from a lot of surgeries but held a sharigan eye still. The other half of his face was mostly normal except for the eye Kakashi had traded for the other sharigan eye. It was Obito who was really under the mask. He laughed and grinned, "No joke. Tobi is a good boy and doesnt play jokes on people he likes." Obviously the accident had affected his mind. Deidara stood up and walked out of the room not wanting to be part of it.
Hinata stayed and refused to leave. Itachi glared and said, "What do you mean this isnt a joke? If it isnt that means your my uncle! My uncle died a long time ago while on a mission with Rin and Kakashi!" He let go and fell back on the couch which Hinata was sitting on. Obito was still smiling and was holding out his fist which he had used to punch Itachi in the gut, "Dont touch me Itachi. I could kill you if I wanted to."
His voice had deepened and didnt sound like a child's anymore. "That accident didnt totally kill me and I was found by one of the akatuski members. I cant remember which one cause it was a while ago but I think it was Kisame. Anyways I was found then fixed up by Sasori but before he could make me a puppet the leader intervened and told him not to. Later I got close to Deidara and then you joined. I remembered you when you were small but it had been a while since I saw you so it took your name to make me remember. My memory was ruined so I couldnt remember much before the accident except for Rin and Kakashi..." He quit talking and pointed to Hinata.
"That girl. She joined us and I saw immediatly that you had a liking to her. Why?" Itachi was taken aback by the question and just stayed silent. Hinata's head turned sharply to Itachi who was scowling and obviously scolding himself for showing to much of an interest in Hinata. He finally spoke saying, "Why is it any of your business? I dont like her at all."
Hinata looked away from him and gritted her teeth. She had actually thought he liked her for that split second. Feeling something heavy hit her and felt something grab and hold her before she blacked out.
