Ninja with the Blank Headband

I do not own naruto.

I own this story, Hikaru and all that he is.

IN this story Naruto is a chunin.

I'll shut up now... READ!!!

Naruto smirked. After almost non-stop begging and pleading he had convinced Tsunade to let him go on this mission. There had been attacks about 3 miles out from the leaf village's gates on people going in or out of the area. She had one requirement; go find another Chunin for backup. He had asked everyone he knew, all giving an excuse, except one: Hinata Hyugga (A/n: I hoped I spelled that right). At first she had said no too, but changed her mind when he began to walk away, head hanging low, mumbling about not being able to go on the mission he worked so hard to get. She had caught up to him and told him she just remembered her 'appointment' had been canceled earlier and that she could come. He had yelled so loud he got stares. Now the two were traveling at a fast pace through the trees and stopped when they reached the spot; there were dried blood spatters on some of the trees. Naruto leapt down and expected for Hinata to follow soon after. She didn't.

He thought he heart a small squeal and turned around. No one was there. He turned around to find a strange ninja with his headband around his neck holding an arm around Hinata's neck in a choke hold and a kunai to threatening to slit her throat. "One more step and she dies." Said the ninja as he smirked. "You must be the one killing all those people!" yelled Naruto. "Well, well, looks like we have a brainiac here! And I thought blondes were dumb! Look Give me all your money and—" he stopped short as a kunai whizzed by his head. He released his grip just enough for Hinata to slip away. 'Great, I'm out numbered. Time to improvise.' He went through a series of hand signs. "Shadow flame jutsu!" He took a deep breath and spat a black fireball out of his mouth. It managed to set Naruto's Chunin jacket on fire. Naruto quickly removed it and jumped away into the trees. He got on the same branch as Hinata. "Hinata do you see his headband?" "It's strange. There's no symbol to show where he's from." Hinata Answered. Then they had to move and dodge a barrage of ninja stars. The two chunin avoided them but just barely.

Then Hinata let out a scream; she had been hit by a kunai dagger in the arm. She was bleeding and began to fall out of the tree. Before Naruto could catch up, she was behind the unknown ninja and tied up. Naruto then heard the Kyubi inside his mind, seemingly to no one. 'Well hello san-mesanda-ba-do (three-eyed Thunderbird), it's been a while.' Then there was a reply. 'Not long enough, you mangy fox.' Naruto then intruded. 'Hey who are you talking to Kyubi?' The great fox laughed. 'To an old acquaintance of mine.' The demon fox replied. 'The guy you're fighting? He's a vessel to the thunderbird. I say we roast that duck. Are you with me kid?' 'Ha! You can't even touch my vessel! I'll be going now.'

Naruto had already begun to go one-tail. The ninja had an electric aura shaped like a bird of prey around him and one of his eyes had turned a glowing yellow. Then all hell broke loose. The two charged at each other and began a fist fight at high speed. Hinata was thoroughly confused; all she saw were blurs! Then the stopped; Naruto's and the ninja's fists had collided with each other's faces. The two broke away. Naruto held his hand out and a sphere of blue chakra began forming. Similarly, a ball of electricity was forming in the hands of his enemy (If you've seen Dragonball Z then picture him using the kamehameha charge). The two ran at each other. There was a blinding flash of light. Hinata had closed her eyes. When she opened them, both ninja were struggling to rise. The ninja got up first and started to limp towards Naruto. Then he collapsed halfway. Naruto got up and kicked him on his back. "Let's get him back to the village for interrogation.".
