---+--
It was cold and dark gloomy night as two young children, a spiky haired blue eyed blond boy and his friend an indigo hair girl with white eyes with a hint of lavender in them. They were huddling together in a hollow of an old rotted out tree that had fallen over, trying to keep warm with each other's body heat. Neither dared make a sound out of fear of the demon roaming around in the forest around them.
They were covered in leaves, twigs, and bugs that were in the hollow of the tree they were huddling in. Their clothes were ripped and torn and barely keeping either of them warm as they weren't made for this cold environment.
"Naruto-kun I'm cold and hungry," whispered the shivering girl in a very low voice.
"I am to Hinata-chan," he whispered, also shivering, but not as bad. He snuggled up closer to her. "But don't worry tomorrow we'll find our way out of this place and get some help," he said trying to act brave for her.
The young girl nodded and smiled, "Ok," she said huddling closer feeling a little safer.
A few minutes passed and they were starting to think they would freeze to death, but suddenly Naruto's body gave off a faint reddish glow of heat, warming them up and letting them fall asleep.
The Reddish aura coming from Naruto seeped out of the tree causing many demons to flee.
Nether knew how exactly they got there. The only thing they knew was that five people in black cloaks and plain white masks killed the ones guarding Hinata and grabbing both of them, while they were playing in the park with each other. Then, took both of them to a clearing and made a door appear and threw them into it. The next thing they knew they woke up here in this strange forest with huge demons everywhere.
They had spent days trying to find their way out of the thick forest, careful trying to avoid the demons living in it. But they have yet to see an end to the forest or see signs of people. The forest itself felt like it went on forever to them.
It was only because of Naruto, never give up attitude that they were able to keep going.
The next morning the two woke up early. After Hinata used her byakugan to check around, to see if it was safe for them, did they dare to venture out of the rotted hollow of the tree.
Stretching a little bit the two quickly and quietly made their way through the thick forest heading in the direction that they hoped would take them to civilization.
Hours passed and finally they came in view of a huge clearing. The two became so excited, to finally being able to escape the horrible forest and the demons living in it. They ran for the clearing forgetting all about the dangers around them. However, upon entering the clearing Hinata let out a horror filled scream and fell back on her butt next to Naruto who stared in shocked at the gory scene that lay before them.
A huge battle field! The dead decayed body of samurai and horses littered the whole area and in the distance the still smoking remains of a village that had got caught up in it, could be seen.
"Naruto, wh... where are we," asked the scared indigo haired girl? The blond looks all around for a moment not recognizing anything,
"I don't know," he answered swallowing nervously. He had thought that once they found people they would find help to get back home to Konoha, but now he wasn't so sure he wanted to find the people around here.
Putting up a brave front he turned to her, "Listen we need to get better clothes and I know it's scary, but we have to get some or we'll freeze to death and we might be able to find something there to help us find away home," he said pointing to the burned village in the distance.
"But what if we're attacked," the young indigo hair girl asked worryingly.
Naruto walk over to some of the dead samurai and holding his breath because of the stench, he managed too pulled two wakizashi off two of them and went back to her. "Here," he said handing one to her, "if were attacked, then we can defend our self," he smiled trying to acting brave for her, but really he was just as scared about doing this as she was.
She nodded and took the small sword and securing it across her lower back, Naruto did the same thing. They both then quietly and cautiously head to the burned village, ducking in and out of the trees and shadows trying to staying out of sight of anyone who may be watching.
Getting into the village moments later they were horrified at the scene that greeted them. Women and children, their own age some even younger some older, all lay dead around them, most looked like they were trying to escape when they were hacked down. Looking around they easily found some clothes, but they were off a couple dead kids their age. They would have gone to a hut, but most if not all of them were burned down, destroying anything inside
The clothes were old style compare to what they had. Naruto got a dark gray smock and pants, Hinata a simple kimono both were a gray and blue. But they were far better than their ripped up clothes they had been wearing. Quickly changed out of their old torn clothes and into the ones they found and after securing the small sword. They began to look around for other things they could use and hopefully a map that would show them the way home.
"Where do you think we are Naruto-kun," ask the Hyuuga quietly.
The blond look over at her, "Don't know, but I 'am sure we're not in the element country I mean when was the last time there been big battles like this involving all samurai, he asked?" It was true once chakra and jutsu came into the world samurai were no longer effective on the battle field as one ninja could easily wipe out a whole army of them by himself. So only a few place had them.
"Yeah I know so then maybe we got sent back in time mayb?," she asked.
"I hope not, but either way we'll find away back," he said as they moved past a hut that was barely standing.
Neither saw the shadowed figure of someone watching them from the inside, till it was too late and without a warning Naruto was kicked hard in the back and sent cart wheeling into the burned remains of another hut!
Hinata turn around quickly just in time to see a hand grab her by the neck and slam her hard to the ground! The indigo haired girl let out a yelp of pain and surprise. When she looked up she saw an ugly looking man in armor with a twisted grin holding her down
"Well aren't I lucky? I found a few survivors and one a pretty blind girl," he said licking his lip. He reached down and started to undo his pants.
Hinata eyes widen as she knew what he was planning. Immediately she began to fight back landing several hard and painful strikes to man's chest, hitting several chakra points. The man lets out painful groan that soon turn to an angry growl he then brought his hand back before back handing her hard across the face, knocking her senseless.
But before the man had a chance to go back to his sick plane Naruto jump out of nowhere and landing on the man's back and started to hit him as hard as he could. "Get off her!" the boy yelled giving the man five hard hit to the back of the head.
"Get off me twerp," the man yelled standing up and trying to pull the blond off.
After some struggling with the blond, the man finally managed to get a hold of the blond and fling him to the ground hard, knocking the wind out of Naruto.
"You will pay for that brat," he said pulling out his sword and got ready to hack the blond to bits.
However, before he could take a swing there was a suddenly burst of crimson. Blood hit the ground and as well as on Naruto. The man stared in shock as he saw a bladed sticking out of his chest he coughed up some blood before falling over.
Hinata got her bearings back just in time to see Naruto being thrown hard too the ground. She then watched in horror as the man that had attacked her, brought his sword out and got ready to kill the boy she had only days before got the courage to talk to you. 'No,' she thought frantically looking around. She then spotted the naganata standing up against the hut. And instantly she shot up and grabbed the weapon and ran with lighting speed, run the man through with its razor sharp blade. Her eyes then widen as the blood sprayed across her face. She lets go of the weapon and step back and stared down at her hands that were now covered in the man's blood.
When the man hit the ground he began to scream bloody murder at the top of his lungs and tried to crawl away the weapon still stuck in his back.
Naruto reach up and wiped his face and looked at his hand now stained with the man's blood. He then stared up in shook at Hinata who looked up from her bloody hands, fear and shock was clearly written on her face. But then both were brought out of their shock by the man yells for help. They then turned back at each other. For a second the world stood still both look down at the wakizashi tied to the waist and then back to each other and then to the man. Both knew what they had to do, they had to shut the man up before his friends heard him and come to investigate.
They quickly grabbed their small razor sharp swords out from there Scabbard before running to the man hopping on to his back and began to stab him over and over again. Adrenalin was pumping through their vains as they kept stabbing him long after his yells fell silent and he stopped moving.
When they finally stop they were covered in blood. Thinking quickly Naruto began to take anything of value off the man and told Hinata to look in the hut to see if the man had left anything in there. And to their luck she found that he had brought his pack of supplies with him, a mat for sleeping on as well as a blanket, food, water, and few other things. She grabbed the pack and quickly went back to Naruto and with adrenalin still pumping through their veins they ran as fast as they could back into the forest and far away from that place as possible.
Hours later they stopped in front of a waterfall. Falling to their knees the two were exhausted, the adrenalin that had been pumping through their systems was gone. Immediately both puked as the revelations of what they had just done hit them.
Hinata fell to the ground and burst out crying and Naruto just sat there staring at his bloody reflection in the stream blow. They had killed someone, sure the man was going to do horrible thing to them and the world was better off without him, but still the act of take another humans life was traumatic especially for two kids.
A half hour past before either of them moved or said anything. Finally, Naruto got up and began to wash the blood off. Hinata seeing him after a moment of watching got up and went over to the stream and started to wash off to. Nether said or look at the other. Finally, after washing up Naruto spoke, "We need to find a place to sleep for the night," he said getting a nod from the indigo haired girl.
Looking around they came across a crack in the cliff face next to the waterfall, going inside they found that it opened up to a small little cave just big enough for them. Deciding that this would work they left to find some fire wood, being careful not to be seen by the demon or people that could be around. Once they had enough they went back and after looking through the man they killed pack and found flint and striker. It took several tries, but they managed to get a small fire going before night fall.
They just sat there after that staring into the flame of the small fire. Finally, Naruto looks up at the Hyuuga, "Hinata thanks for saving me back there," he said to her.
She looked up from the fire "Yo... you're welcome," she stuttered a little. "Naruto can I have a hug," she asks with a little hop in her voice.
He nodded she quickly moved over to him and hugged him burying her face into his chest and started to cry again. Naruto put his arms around her he knew that he would have to be strong for both of them he had to because if he didn't then neither of them would survive here.
"Naruto, I want to go home," she sobbed looking up at him.
"I do to, but don't worry I promise I'll find us away back," he said.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded "Ok," she said burying her head back into his chest.
"Naruto," she spoke again, "we need to get stronger because I don't want what happened today to happen again," She said.
"Yeah," he said before pulling away and grabbed the pack. He dug around and pulled out some bread and dry meat. "Here we should eat," he said smiling. She gave a small smile back and took the food.
Both sat there Hinata leaning up against him, eating quietly neither knew what the future had in store for them, but both knew as long as they had each other they would survive anything the future could throw at them.
