Stepping lightly on the mossy bark of a tree branch, Hinata Hyuuga ran as fast as she could. Ripping through thickets of leaves and twigs. Movement could be spotted nearby. They were catching up. Finally breaking out of the thicket into a small clearing on the forest floor, Hinata panted for breath, pulling a kunai out at ready.

Suddenly, bursting out of the tree's, a young Hanibi shot into view, yelping as she caught sight of the weapon.

Hinata sighed and lowered her kunai, getting ready for her preech.

"You need to be prepared for anything Hanibi-san! Just because N-Neji-san isn't here doesn't mean I'll go easy on you speed w-wise."

Hanibi lowered her hear, muttering a apoligy.

Hinata rolled her eyes, feeling rambunctious for giving a higher up such a telling.

Hinata paused for a moment, before giving a small smile, her lavender eyes brimming with an idea.

"H-How about we race?" Hinata spoke softly, tilting her head.

Hanabi's head shot up with a broadened smile, already preparing for the challenge.

"I won't lose to you Hinata-san!"

Hinata nodded, and pointed north. "We'll go... 3 kilometres that way. We can't get t-too far from Konoha-" Hinata felt someone sprint past her, shooting towards the directions she just gave.

"H-Hanabi-san!!! Please wait..."Hinata laughed before taking after her younger sister.

"Oh senpai, that looks like fun" Tobi half whispered, half chirped into the blonde nin's ear, almost so loud that any ninja on the other side of the planet could hear. "Don't get any ideas there... hn" Deidara muttered, he couched further into the undergrowth, they couldn't hide in the trees without Tobi overbalancing and falling down (again) so they were degraded to sinking ankle deep in thick rotten sludge. The squelching of Tobi's inconsistent movements as he tried to get a better view out of the peep hole if the woodern mask was increasingly frustrating.

As Hinata shot towards the destination she gave herself, she felt compulsed to beat Hanabi. As much as she was supposed to help the younger girl train, Hinata didn't want Hanabi going home to brag about how she beat Hinata in a major race, gaining more harsh treatment from her father again. Pushing more chakra into her feet, Hinata was at a speed she hadn't reach for some time-not since her last high ranked mission.

In no time she was over 2 kilometres from the marker point and reaching to the checkpoint fast. But, something suddenly felt wrong. Slowing to a stop, Hinata panted lightley as she listened around her.

Not a sound. Hanabi wasn't making the race.

Suddenly suspicious, Hinata activated her byakugan, and searched the area. Her eyes finally landed on chakra forms a bit away, one of Hanabi's signature, but surrounded with unfamilliar ones-very strong ones at that.

Paniking instantly, Hinata pulled out her kunai and ran towards her sister in need.

"Great Tobi, pick the inexperienced one!!!" he gesured a hand towards Hanabi "Her chakra aura could be mistaken for a bunny's fart!"

"well sooorry!" Tobi snapped, his hands in the air that were partially tangled in the rope that was to bound their prey, Deidara gave him a sneer, "...Senpai" Tobi corrected.

They bickered as though the girl wasn't infront of them, still shaking from the trip wire that had hacked away some flesh from her shin, the quivering silver wire almost floating with droplets of red, a few inches from the ground.

Hinata halted a few metres away from the small group, biting her lip and trying to think rationally what to do. The chakra coming from one of the guys was more than enormous, the other with a mask no more than a common jounin. More than just some ninja thugs. Stepping in closer, Hinata peered though a srub and had to cover her mouth to stop a gasp of shock. Those robes the two men were wearing, were covered in red clouds!

The Akatsuki was in Konoha territory, which definatly wasnt good. Shifting her head, Hinata looked at a beyond scared Hanabi, her leg covered in a thin layer of blood. Hinata's eyes narrowed as her grip on her Kunai tightened. Slowly lifting her arm, she prepared to throw, straight towards the blonde with the most powerful chakra, hoping this would distract him for the split second she would need.

Tobi made a small tilt of his head, noticing the girl a few metres away. Deidara noticed the small movement of his partnerr and instinctively turned, a silvery flash zoomed past his face, nicking off some of his precious hair, his eye widened, infuriated.

"Ah." Tobi muttered, realising the Kunai stuck out from his mask, the point had hit his mask like a target, perfectly.

Hinata took the moment she could only bear with and darted out of the thicket, diving past the two as she ran towards her sister.

Grabbing Hanabi's arm, Hinata pulled her away from the two, pulling the younger girl out of the state of shock she seemed to be set in. Hinata cringed when she realised she took too long to get them out of there, and turned towards the two, her arms spread infront of Hanabi protectivly. Hinata glanced back at Hanabi, signalling for her to run, a pleading look in her eyes to do it without question. Turning back to the two, she watched the masked one struggling to pull the kunai from his face and the blond glaring at her like no tomorrow. Hinata smiled inwardly as she heard the scuffle of feet of Hanabi ran from her.

With Hanabi finally gone, Hinata moved her feet and arms into her position of the gentle fist, her byakugan still fully actuvated as she returned the glare to the one with the strongest chakra. She had no time to be the usual shy girl she was known to be.
