"Are you sure this is the right way?" a boy with short brown hair and red markings on his cheeks said looking annoyed.
"If you prefer to have gone the other way and risk being ambushed by 50 ninja's then, be my guest, Kiba" a boy with spiky black hair wearing a large over coat that covered half his face spoke looking a little annoyed.
"What's up your ass Shino? I was just asking jeez!" Kiba said looking angrily at his teammate.
"S-Shino, Kiba, don't s-start fighting, n-now is n-not the t-time" Hinata said looking back at both of them with a worried look that both of the boys couldn't argue with. Both boys stayed quiet and just continued to walk.
"Sorry…" Kiba whispered looking down slightly while Shino just kept quiet.
"Thank y-you" Hinata said as she concentrated on the path ahead making sure there weren't any hidden ninja's that could jump out at anytime. Hinata's Byukagan had improved so much since Naruto had left the village to go train, but those who actually knew how strong Hinata was, were her teammates and sensei. Her father had given up on her and had concentrated on Neji and Hanabi not giving Hinata a chance to show how much she had improved. Neji's and Hinata's relationship had improved slightly but Neji still did not accept Hinata because of her weaknesses. Hanabi had never really paid any attention to Hinata and was even embarrassed to call her sister. But Hinata knew she had gotten stronger and still improving and that's what mattered to her the most.
"Hey guys, I smell something rotten…" Kiba said coming to a stop and sniffing the air. Akumaru barked with agreement sniffing the floor
"I don't see any ninja's close by…" Hinata said looking confused.
"My bugs are going haywire… there's something wrong" Shino said taking out some kunai's for precaution. Hinata increased her sight but still nothing seemed out of place and that's when she sensed it.
"Move!!" Hinata yelled as she pushed both Shino and Kiba to the side as the ground underneath them exploded. No wonder she didn't see it, there was a trap hidden deep in the ground which was set to go off by motion. It was made with a lot of stored up chakra which was hidden really well. When they got their senses back they quickly stood up and ran for it.
"We've got to get as far as possible, the ninjas who set that trap wont be far" Shino said as Kiba and Hinata followed him.
"No wonder we couldn't sense the blasted thing." Kiba said frustrated. "Hinata how did you know it was there?" Kiba asked curiously.
"The s-second it w-went off a l-large amount of c-chakra was released" Hinata said looking back every few seconds checking to see if they were being followed.
"The reason you couldn't smell its location properly was because bits of scented chakra was scattered around making or senses confused enabling us not to notice the burst of chakra fast enough, but because Hinata doesn't have our senses she was able to notice it faster." Shino explained.
"Lucky we have you on our team Hinata, we owe you one" Kiba said giving her a thumbs up. Hinata blushed at the complement.
"It w-was nothing" she said smiling back
"Keep the good work up Hinata" Shino said as he gave her a knowing look. She gave him a determined look and nodded.
"Hai!" she said as she went back to concentrating on the path ahead. Hinata was thankful that her teammates were Shino and Kiba, because they were the only ones beside her sensei and Naruto that had always been there and believed in her. She smiled to herself knowingly.
"Hinata duck!!" came Kiba's shrill voice from her left. She did as she was told without a second thought as a Windmill Shuriken flew past her head barely missing her. "where the hell did that come from?!" came Kiba's pissed of voice. None of them had seen it coming.
"Calm Kiba, keep your voice down" Shino said releasing a swarm of bugs towards one direction. "They'll find out where it came from" Shino said as he quickly nudged to other two to the side, behind a bush.
"I don't s-see anyone in t-the area or d-do I sense a-any chakra c-close by" Hinata said looking around franticly.
"Little assholes, lets go drag them out" Kiba went to stand up but was pulled down by Shino.
"Don't be hasty; if they can take us by surprise, they'll be quite strong so we're going to have to think about this carefully" Shino said concentrating on something.
"What s-should we d-do Shino-kun?" Hinata asked fidgeting with the hem of her jacket. She may have gotten stronger but for some reason her attitude had stayed the same. That was probably why her father chose to ignore her. She hated it but she felt as if there was nothing she could do, nothing she was brave enough to do.
"This is what we'll do" Shino said as they all moved closer to listen.
&&&&&&&&
"Tsunade-sama?!!" came Shizune's worried yell. Tsunade looked up just in time to see her burst through the doors looking quite annoyed.
"What? I don't have any Sake with me!" Tsunade said innocently.
"That's not it! I just heard that you sent team 8 after that scroll!" came Shizune's irritated voice.
"What about it?" Tsunade asked sighing from relief. Luckily Tsunade had quick reflexes and was able to hide the sake under the table just before Shizune came in.
"what do you mean, what about it! You senta Chuunin group after that scroll?!" Shizune said worriedly all annoyance leaving her voice.
"They'll be fine, plus their one of the best trackers available in the village right now." Tsunade said sifting a pile of paper works to the side. "anyway, those three are capable enough to handle the assignment by themselves and the hideout the scrolls kept isn't far either so if anything goes wrong I'll send a few more people to help out" Tsunade said looking bored. Shizune eyes her for a moment before sighing.
"But Tsunade-sama, a report had just come in saying Kabuto had just been seen around that area, probably after the scroll as well!" Came Shizunes frantic voice.
"What?! When had that been brought up?" Tsunade said standing up, how come she had not heard off this?!
"the ninja's that just came back from the mission had forgotten to report it and came to me today, what shall we do? Those three aren't strong enough to handle him alone!" Shizune said as she worriedly paced around the room. Hinata had gone on that mission. Hinata had come up to her one day stuttering and blushing, asking her if she could teach her healing jitsu's. Shizune wasn't as close to Hinata as others were but she was quite fond of the girl. Since she suddenly had the courage to ask some of them for help, she had broaden her views on techniques and she knew Hinata was strong and teamed up with Shino and Kiba they were very reliable but against Kabuto would be too much.
I'm going to have to send someone else along as well… who do we have here that's not on a mission?" Tsunade asked looking through files on who went on missions.
"Naruto had come back this morning" Shizune pointed out. Naruto had ran into the office early in the morning and had loudly proclaimed that he was back. "didn't he want to go on a mission today?" Shizune recalled the morning events. Naruto had asked for an A ranked mission but Tsunade had refused and had yelled at him to go and rest.
"Yes he'll do, who else? Oh Neji and lee aren't on a mission right now either right? Go get them three" Tsunade said rubbing her temples. Shizune nodded and disappeared to fetch the three. 'Dammit, this is why I tell all ninja's to make sure their reports have everything in them' Tsunade said sighing. Hopefully the three can hold up till reinforcements come.
&&&&&&&&
Hinata ran through the cave as fast as her legs would allow while keeping her guard up. Shino, Kiba and she had split up to confuse their opponents so while Shino and Kiba kept them occupied Hinata would grab the scroll signal them and they would run for it. Hinata worriedly looked back. Kiba had rebelled against Shino's idea saying they would be stronger together but Shino refused to give up and said it had to be done. Hinata didn't like the idea but she trusted Shino.
( Flashback )
"Shino that's stupid! If we stay together, we can take whoever it is on!" Kiba said annoyed at what had been suggested.
"And if we fail?" Shino asked looking at both of them but none of them answered. "The risks are high if we fail, at least if we split up then one person can go after the scroll while the other two will stall as long as they can, when we have the scroll we'll retreat, it's the safest way and we wont fail the mission either." Shino looked at Kiba then looking at Hinata was a knowing look. "Hinata if we fail this mission, your father just might banish you from your clan this time, Kiba and I wont be able to bare that." Shino said looking sadly at Hinata.
"Shino-kun…" Hinata knew that both of them knew her problems at home, she couldn't hide it from them. "But Shino-kun, y-you and Kiba a-are more important t-to me, I'll live if I g-get b-banished." Hinata said smiling at them.
"But we won't be able to live with ourselves if we knew that you got banished because we couldn't complete some measly B ranked mission. Plus we're more reliable than that" Kiba said smiling at her.
"It's settled then, Hinata you will go after the scroll while Kiba and I keep our enemies occupied, be careful alright?" Shino said looking at her worriedly.
"We'll be waiting for you, keep your guard up okay" Kiba said giving her a thumbs up. Hinata's eyes watered up as she smiled at them.
"I'll be a-as quick as I c-can, you t-two be careful" Hinata said giving them both a hug before running in one direction.
( End of Flashback)
She searched the area thoroughly but still she had found nothing even with her Byukagan activated. 'This is bad I have to hurry and find it quickly' she thought as she added more chakra to her eyes and her line of vision increased. That's when she saw it, it was the scroll but it was in a huge boulder. "How d-did it get in t-there?!" Hinata said shocked. She got into her gentle fist stance and concentrated a fair amount of chakra into her fingers. 'How it got there is not important, what is that I get that scroll quickly' she thought to herself.
"Jûken!" Hinata yelled hitting the rock once inserting a large amount of chakra into the rock making it crack in half revealing a small scroll. Hinata smiled at her self proudly. "Okay! Now t-to get Shino a-and Kiba" Hinata said before dashing back to were she had left the boys. 'I hope their okay…' Hinata thought worriedly.
&&&&&&
"Ba-chan!" came a very loud voice from the hallway out side of Tsunade's office. Tsunade sighed and waited for the doors to burst open once again, and as if on queue the doors did burst open revealing an over hyper Naruto and smiling Lee and an annoyed Neji. Tsunade picked up a near by book and threw it at Naruto which hit him square on the face.
"how many time did I tell you not to call me that?!" Tsunade yelled angrily.
"Excuse me Hokage-sama but why were we called here?" Neji asked getting to the point. Tsunade calmed down and sat back down in her chair. Yester day I sent Shino, Hinata and Kiba on a B ranked mission but due to misinformation that mission was meant to be S ranked, and because of this we are afraid that all three of them are in deadly danger." Tsunade said looking at each of them seriously.
"what?! How can you be careless Hokage-sama?!" Neji asked angrily. If anything happened to Hinata it would be all his fault. Even though Neji never showed it, he did care for Hinata but he was always just annoyed how weak she seemed.
"I regret it but nows not the time, I want you guys to go after them and bring them back." Tsunade said watching their reaction and to her surprise Naruto looked completely serious. "Naruto, this is very important so listen to me carefully." Tsunade said making sure Naruto understood what she was going to say.
"what is it Ba-chan?" Naruto asked curiously.
"don't call me that!!" Tsunade yelled again but quickly calmed down. " Naruto you must not stay any longer then you need to, do you understand Naruto, your mission is to get Shino, Kiba and Hinata out and come straight back." Tsunade said as serious as she could make it sound.
"Hokage-sama is there something you are not telling us?" Neji asked eyeing her. she was keeping something from them he knew it.
"The reason the mission is now S ranked is because Kabuto was sighted in that area, probably after the same scroll Shino, Kiba and Hinata are after." Tsunade said noticing the glint in Naruto's eyes. " Naruto I repeat myself you are in no circumstance to stay and fight your mission is just to retrieve the three, do you understand?" Tsunade said sternly.
"But Ba-chan! I'm strong enough to take Kabuto on, I can even find out where Sasuke-teme is!" Naruto argued back.
"Maybe, but your other teammates might not be and what if the other three are in dire need of healing? Will you risk your teammates lives? Do you understand Naruto?" Tsunade asked. Naruto just nodded.
"Don't worry Hokage-sama we will get them back!" Lee said giving her a thumbs up and a huge smile. Tsunade sighed, Lee was becoming more like Guy with each passing day.
"okay this mission wont take long since their location is only suppose to be an hour and a half travel from our village and if you guys run you'll get there quicker. Neji you are the team leader" Tsunade said handing him a file. "Now hurry up and go!" Tsunade said urgently. All three nodded and vanished. "I pray they get there in time" Tsunade said to herself as she got ready to do another pile of paper work.
&&&&&&&
Shino waited on a branch covered in leaves in position while Kiba and Akumaru were on the ground in their position. It had been an hour since they had split up and Shino knew Hinata would be coming back soon. Shino and Kiba had set up clones in the open pretending to plan something as decoys to lure out their opponents and sure enough kunai's came flying from the direction the Windmill Shuriken had came from. Their clones dodged it by diving to the side. Kiba's clone three a few shurikens at the direction it had came from while Shino's clone sent fake bugs at the same direction. Nothing happened after a while but a quick movement caught Shino's eyes. It came out from the right side knocked Kiba's clone into a tree while knocking Shino's clone of the floor and kicking him into another tree making both clones disappear.
"Now boy's why don't you come out and play a little?" a man wearing large rimmed glasses and grayish hair said smiling. Shino knew him, his Ochimaru's right hand man. This was bad. They weren't expecting someone this strong. "Oh not coming out? Shall I come and get you?" Kabuto said smiling to himself. He suddenly disappeared. Shino slightly panicked but recovered quickly and concentrated just before he could do anything Kiba had flew out of the bush and into a tree. "Well I found one of you" Kabuto said looking at Kiba who got up with and angry expression.
"What are you doing here?!" Kiba said venom lacing his voice. He had heard about him but had never met him.
"The same reason you two are, but in my case you guys won't be leaving alive." Kubato ran towards him, kunai in hand but Kiba had ducked in time to dodge it and kick Kabuto in the side but to Kiba's surprised Kabuto caught. "Is that all you've got?" Kabuto asked as he was about to throw a kunai at Kiba's chest Akumaru came up from behind and was about to go for an attack but Kabuto dodged it by jumping to the side letting Kiba go.
"Thanks buddy" Kiba said as he stood up and lent onto Akumaru for support.
"Oh forgot about your dog" Kabuto said just as Shino appeared behind him and did a round house kick which Kabuto blocked. Shino sent a few punches and kicks but Kabuto blocked them all. Kiba came from the side with Akumaru in Kiba's form and did a double attack which Kabuto countered sending them both flying.
"Dammit!" Kiba said as he got up again running towards him. Kiba threw a punch at him which Kabuta blocked easily and was about to send a punch to his stomach but was blocked by Shino's bugs. Kiba jumped a few feet back.
"Kiba, be careful!" Shino said sternly pointing to Kabuto's fists which had a shuriken sticking out from the gaps of his fingers. If Shino hadn't stopped the punch Kiba's insides would have been ripped apart.
"I got caught off guard, it won't happen again but thanks" Kiba said getting into a fighting stance. Shino nodded and got ready
"Is that all you two got?" Kabuto said tauntingly. Kiba threw a few shurikens at Kabuto which he blocked by throwing his shurikens. Akumaru ran in front of Kiba growling. Kiba used Akumaru as a step stool and jumped into the air. While Akumaru attacked from front Kiba would attack from the top. But Kabuto had seen it coming and swiftly took out another one of his Windmill Shuriken and used it to block Akumaru's fangs at the same time kicked Kiba in the stomach. "You're going to have to try harder then that" Kabuto said as he threw Kiba to the side and knocked Akumaru aside with the Windmill Shuriken. While Kabuto had been occupied with Kiba, Shino had appeared behind with a kunai at his neck. "Oh dear I've been quite careless haven't I" Kabuto said shaking his had but keeping the smile on his lips.
"What do you want?" Shino asked no emotion in his voice. Kabuto just stood there with the smile plastered on his face.
"Shino just kill him already, before he tries anything shifty." Kiba said getting up
"We need to get some information out of him first" Shino said pinning the kunai closer to Kabuto's neck. Before Kiba could argue back a loud scream was heard a few yards away. Both Kiba and Shino paled. They knew whose scream it had belonged to.
"Oh, I've got what I've been sent to get." Kabuto said smiling as he suddenly disappeared.
"Crap! It was just a clone!" Kiba said angrily.
"Kiba, Hinata's in trouble" Shino said running towards were the scream had come from with Kiba right behind him.
&&&&&
Hinata had let her guard down and didn't notice a Windmill Shuriken fly towards her in time to fully dodge it. It grazed her left arm and knocked her to the ground with a heavy thump. She griped her left arm which was bleeding from the nasty graze that the Windmill Shuriken had left.
"What a surprised, that you dodged it, barely though" came a voice from her far right. Kabuto stepped out behind a tree with a small smile dancing on his lips.
"Who are you?!" Hinata asked clueless. She took out a few senbons and went into a fighting stance.
"Hmm… a Hyuga not using their famous technique huh" Kabuto said sounding amused. Hinata just stayed silent. She needed to get away but this guy seemed extremely strong and she knew she wouldn't last to long against him. "Staying silent huh? Quite Hyugaish" Kabuto said with a laugh.
"What d-do you w-want?" Hinata asked cursing herself for stuttering. Kabuto raised an eyebrow.
"A Hyuga that stutters you just keep on surprising me" Kabuto said still smiling. The smile made Hinata nervous but she masked it by sending him a glare.
"What d-do you want!" Hinata said this time more forcefully.
"Calm down now, all I want is that scroll, if you give it to me, I'll let you walk away with your life" Kabuto said taking a step forward while Hinata took one step back. She didn't trust him. She knew that even if she did give the scroll back he wouldn't let her live.
"W-why do you w-want i-it?" she asked. She had to try and stall for enough time to think of and escape plan.
"The same reason why you guys want it." Kabuto said taking another step forward but this time Hinata stood her ground.
"We w-weren't told what t-the scroll h-holds" Hinata said tightening her grip on her senbons. She had hidden the as a kunai on her right leg and had tried her best to mask the chakra around it.
"It holds unknown techniques that would be quite useful." Kabuto said taking out his Windmill Shuriken in one hand a five kunai's in the other. "I'm sorry I don't have time to chat and since you don't look willing to hand it over, I'm going to have to take it by force" Kabuto said as he threw the kunai's at her which Hinata blocked by throwing her senbons at them but had missed one which embedded itself into her right leg. Hinata let out a loud scream and was quickly knocked into a tree with the Windmill Shuriken at her neck. Hinata quickly used gentle fist on him knocking him a few feet back.
"I w-wont let y-you have t-the scroll!" Hinata said throwing a few senbons at him which she filled with chakra.
"your going to have to do better then that" Kabuto said as he blocked it with his Windmill Shuriken, but his smile faded when he noticed a senbon stuck into his left shoulder. "When did…" he said as he fell onto one knee.
"You u-underestimated me, I f-filled all m-my senbons with c-chakra except f-for one, w-which you m-missed also it was coated in poison." Hinata said taking another few senbons out. Kabuto smirked and stood up shakily.
"The poison you used is strong; I can already feel it taking affect… I've never come across this poison before" Kabuto said as he clutched his left shoulder.
"That p-poison is j-just one of t-the deadliest I h-have created" Hinata said eyeing him carefully. She knew she should run but she knew she'd be in trouble if she turned her back on him for even a second. She saw his face turn paler and knew the poison was doing its Job. She had read a few books in Shizune's study and came across a book that was filled with formulas for creating poisons. Hinata since then been experimenting and had successfully created very dangerous poison and mild poison which wont kill but knock them out. What Hinata had said was only partly true. She didn't like the idea of killing so she had created a sort of drug that acted exactly like a poison but would only knock them out for a few hours.
"I see… then I'm going to have to finish you quickly." And before Hinata could even blink Kabuto was at her side and sent her flying into the air with a kick. Kabuto jumped up and was going to knee Hinata in the gut but was blocked, but because of the impact Hinata flew into a tree before she could even move a few more kunais were sent her way and embedded themselves into parts of her body. Hinata slide down the tree limply. She tried to get up but was knocked down by Kabuto that had elbowed her in the back.
"Where is the scroll?!" Kabuto asked when Hinata didn't answer he kicked her three times in the stomach making her cough up blood but still she stayed silent. "You stupid brat!" Kabuto yelled as he kicked her again and again. When Kabuto had gotten fed up with it he took out a long thin knife which had been strapped to his left leg. "I'll find that scroll but I'll kill you before that!" Kabuto went in for the final move but was blocked and Kabuto was thrown back.
"I don't think so!" came a familiar voice. Hinata looked up and was shocked to find Naruto standing in front of her looking very pissed.
"N-Naruto-kun…" Hinata said trying to stand up but only falling again. Naruto bent down next to Hinata and looked over her wounds with concerned then looked back to Kabuto who was trying to keep himself from collapsing. The Poison was getting stronger to resist.
"Don't worry Hinata, I'll take over from here. Oh Hinata you've gotten stronger" Naruto said giving her a warm smile before turning back to Kabuto angrily. Hinata's inside jumped and her face quickly heated up.
"Well, well, if it isn't Naruto" Kabuto said smirking.
"I'm not here to play your stupid mind games, tell me, where's Sasuke?!" Naruto asked with a growl.
"Naruto!" came another familiar voice. Hinata looked towards the direction it had came from only o find Neji and Lee running towards them with Kiba and Shino right behind them. "you know what the Hokage said! We have to leave right now!" Neji said grabbing Naruto's arm. Naruto just shook it off and ignored Neji.
"Hinata!" Both Kiba and Shino yelled as they ran towards her. She smiled to herself. they were safe.
"Shut up Neji, this is my one chance to find out where Sasuke is! Plus Kabuto is already weakened by Hinata" Naruto said grinning.
"I don't care we have to go now! Plus Hinata-sama needs to go to hospital." Neji said sounding quite annoyed.
"Kabuto!" Naruto yelled pointing at him totally ignoring Neji. "You better spill before I kick you ass!" Naruto yelled. Kabuto just smirked. Naruto growled and went for an attack.
"Naruto!" Lee called out. Concerned lacing his voice. He knew how much Naruto wanted to find Sasuke, but Hinata was badly hurt and needed to be brought to a hospital as quick as possible.
"Hinata can you get up?" Kiba asked as he gently knelt down besides her. Hinata tried once again but again she fell only o be caught by Shino.
"you did good" Shino said as he helped her sit up.
"Hinata-san we must get you to a hospital immediately" Lee said as he checked her wounds.
"I'm f-fine… Naruto n-needs to find o-out where Uchiha-san is." Hinata said coughing as she spoke.
"Stop speaking nonsense Hinata-sama! And Naruto we need to go now!" Neji said as helped Hinata stand letting her use him a crutch but still Naruto choose to ignore him and was sent flying towards a cliff. Kabuto came running at him but Naruto was slow at getting up and Hinata knew he wouldn't make it in time to block the attack. She mastered everything she had left and ran in front of Naruto with two Kunais in her hands and blocked the attack with them. All of them were shocked. Hinata was bloodied up and had hardly any chakra left but still managed to block the attack and knock Kabuto back a bit.
"Hinata!" Kiba yelled snapping out of his surprised which turned into panic for Hinata.
"Hinata, what are you doing?!" Naruto yelled as he got up but before he could say anything else Hinata had pushed Naruto back and turned just in time to block the Windmill Shuriken that came flying his way. But the impact of it threw Hinata of her feet and off the cliff.
"Hinata!!" All of them screamed rushing to her. Naruto had tried to grab onto her but missed. Before he could do anything else a large blue light surrounded Hinata and swallowed her up before disappearing taking Hinata with her.

Dumbledore sat at his desk quietly as he read over a few files. The students would be coming in a few days and he had to prepare for the New Year but he still hadn't gotten a suitable defense against the dark arts teachers which he had troubled him.
"Albus!!" came a loud cry from the entrance of his office. Dumbledore looked up to find Minerva running franticly towards him in her night gown.
"Whats wrong Minerva?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"Argus found a girl in the prohibited section of the library!" Minerva said between breathes. She had run all the way to Albus's office and was now out of breath.
"Calm down Minerva, what do you mean? There shouldn't be any students at the school yet." Albus said getting up.
"No, no I don't think she's a student! Argus had found her on his rounds all bloodied up in the prohibited part of the library, Albus this is impossible how could some one get into Hogwarts with out us noticing? Also as young as her!" Minerva said franticly.
"How interesting, I shall have to have a chat with her" Albus said walking towards the griffin stair case.
