MRD stands for Mutant Response Division

"How did she let this happen?" Neji looked over at his uncle who stood facing the large window overlooking their vast compound. His normally stoic face broke for a split second when he glared at the older Hyuuga. "We were ambushed. Hanabi was surrounded by the MRD and Hinata ran back to save her. It wasn't he- their fault." Hiashi said nothing and Neji took that as a sign to leave. He had to check on his beloved cousin. He should've been able to protect her; now with the loss of her powers she'd need him even more.
"Gather only the necessities for now. As soon as she recovers, she'll be leaving." Neji froze. "But-" Hiashi interrupted and turned around, "I'll make arrangements for her housing in the country. Keeping her here is pointless." Neji clenched his jaw and bowed as Hiashi walked past him. Of course he'd uphold the first rule of Clan Hyuuga even when it came to family. Contribute to the cause or leave.
"Did you hear about what's going on in the Hyuuga compound?" Sasuke looked over at his best friend/rival and leader of their mutant team. Naruto continued, "Well, aren't you interested?" Sasuke let out a sigh, "Hiashi finally died?" Naruto shook his head. "Neji got captured by the MRD?" Another head shake from Naruto. "Just tell me, I have a danger room exercise with Kakashi in a few minutes." Naruto looked like he was searching for the right words to say. The silence was getting annoying. Sasuke's eyes flashed red as he stood up, "If you want to play games, play with someone else. I cut all ties to that place when I left and joined this loser, goody two -shoes brigade." Naruto reached his hand out to stop the raven haired man. "It's about Hinata. She's…" Sasuke felt as if ice cold water washed over him. "What about her?" He asked. Meeting a pair of blue eyes, he started to breathe heavily. She couldn't be gone, not after what he sacrificed. He knew it, he shouldn't have left. No, I should've tried harder to persuade her to leave with me. That place is nothing but a prison.
Naruto's voice broke him from his trance, "She's been removed as heir and the compound altogether. She was supposed to be living out in one of their smaller estates, but no one has seen or heard from her in a while." Sasuke let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding. Maybe it's for the best that she's no longer under that old bastard's rule. I need to find her.
Before Sasuke could formulate a plan something struck him as odd. "How did you find out? Last time I checked Clan Hyuuga and their band of mutant allies aren't chummy with us." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually it was her sister who contacted me. Neji won't acknowledge me anymore and Hiashi would rather bow to Senator Danzo before asking for my help. She thought that Hinata might've made her way to us. You know, for me." Sasuke couldn't help but feel irritated. Of course, everyone would assume her first instinct would be to seek out Naruto. As much as it would be a blow to his pride, if Hinata sought out Naruto she'd still be close to him and that'd be good enough. "Get Karin and tell her we need to find someone."
Note: The title was inspired by Adriana Figueroa's song, Daughter of the Moon. The plot inspired by a Wolverine and the X-men Episode featuring Angel. It follows it to a point then deviates into other elements of the Marvel Universe. It will follow events from Naruto as well. Geography is similar to canon; there are countries (Land of Fire, Land of Snow, Land of Lightning, Etc.) But it is set in modern times. I'm playing with the terms a bit. Each country is run by a president (they won't be called Daimyos.) Cities replace the villages; Konoha, Suna, Iwa and others are capitals and have more mutant activities than the smaller cities. Everything is more democratic as well; there are elections. Village elders's power and influence is replaced with democratically elected Senators.
