Second chapter! Don't ask me why I made the black goo like that. I just wanted to.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I do own... well actually, I have nothing of him that I own! T.T
The reviews I just got boosted my confidence by a lot! THANK YOU!
Chapter 2: Goo
I need to get out of this if I'm going to save Hinata! Neji thought as he fought to get out of the black goo. He activated his Byakugan, and he saw that the black goo was filled with chakra! So, he continued to think, it's like that spider Kidomaru.
He gave his hand a thin layer of chakra (Good thing he didn't cover my hands) and knelt down. He was about to cut the goo near his feet when it created a hole where his hand went. Neji's eyes widened. Did that goo just move? He tried again and it did the same thing. Suddenly, two eyes appeared where Neji had been trying to touch. "Aggh!" he stood up quickly. The eyes moved up and a mouth appeared below it. Neji wanted to cry out again, but the goo beat him to it.
"Aarrrgh!" it warbled. Then, the goo slipped off of Neji's feet. Neji couldn't believe it. Partly the part that he was free, but mostly the part with the goo being alive! The goo that was around him also slipped away and went straight towards the goo that used to be at Neji's feet. It morphed to a sort of slug.
Neji examined himself, surprised to find that both his feet and clothes were clean. The only evidence that the goo was ever on him was a faint smell of gasoline. He looked at the goo, or creature. It looked back, but it didn't seem scared any more. Actually, it seemed curious. It tilted its head to one side and made another warble sound. "Prrrrlllll."
Neji couldn't help but stare at it, until he remembered Hinata. "Where's your master?" he demanded of the goo creature. The goo creature got scared, made another warble sound, and turned to the flat goo, making its eyes and mouth disappear. This was what it turned into when it got frightened.
Neji saw his mistake and tried again, but with a calmer voice. It didn't do anything. He went up to it to touch it, only to find himself stuck. He tried to pull his right hand out, but it wouldn't budge. He gave that hand the thin layer of chakra and soon the goo warbled/screamed again and jumped to the ceiling where it hung.
I don't have time for this! I need to tell Lady Tsunade about this! and with that Neji hurriedly changed into his Hyuga robes and ran out towards the Hokage tower.
Tsunade heard the scream.
Apparently, so did Shizune because she bolted up. Tonton woke up because she felt her master jump a little. "What was that?" Shizune sleepily asked.
"Neji just screamed 'Hinata,'" Tsunade answered, surprisingly calm.
"Why?"
"I have a feeling we're going to find out."
Naruto was sure he heard something. He was sitting up in bed because he thought he heard Neji (or was it Hinata?) scream.
He waited a bit longer to see if he would hear it again, but no other sound came. He looked out his window, and this time he thought he was still dreaming.
In the distance, he thought he saw two, no three (one was being carried) people floating, heading towards his left. He rubbed his eyes, and they were gone. He lay back down on his pillow.
I knew I shouldn't have eaten that spicy flavored ramen tonight! And why is my pillow wet?
"Lady Tsunade!" Neji burst into the room.
Tsunade was calmly sitting behind her desk. She had expected this. "Something wrong, Neji?" although she already knew that something was wrong. Even though she looked calm on the outside, she was starting to panic on the inside. Neji rarely lost his cool like this.
"Hinata... has been... kidnapped!" he managed to say between gasps of breath.
Shizune's eyebrows shot to the moon, while Tsunade's came together. This was worse than what she thought: Hinata being kidnapped while her father was away. The kidnappers must have been spying on them for a while.
"Explain," she demanded. And so Neji did, leaving the part about the black goo coming alive and replacing it with what he was thinking earlier: that the goo can be cut whith chakra.
Tsunade was listening to every word, while also thinking who'd be best for the job. Neji would definitely be the leader, and Shino and Kiba would be good in tracking their teammate. But these two enemies could be strong. Should she send more people, or wait until the team calls for more backup? She decided to wait until the team calls for backup. There's no point in putting six people on a team if the enemy turns out to be weak. "Right," Tsunade said after Neji finished his story," the mission to rescue Hinata will start tomorrow."
This surprised Neji and Shizune.
"But Lady Tsunade, don't you think the mission should start tonight? The kidnappers have already left and are traveling farther as we speak," Shizune argued.
"I know, but it's well past midnight and the people I picked have just finished a mission. They're tired," replied Tsunade. "You, too, Neji. You need all your strength if you're going to save Hinata."
Neji wanted to argue some more, but he saw the look of the Hokage and knew that if he said anymore he'd fall through the window. Neji bowed his head as a thank you and left the tower.
The goo creature heard the slide door of the Hyuga Compound open then close. Turning the corner was the teenager who hurt him earlier. However, even though he hurt the goo creature, the goo creature also hurt him, so he figured that it was fair enough for that young man to hurt him. Besides, he couldn't stay mad at him for a long time. He was starting to feel close to him...

I made the goo creature alive!
Please review! I especially like the ones that tell me to improve on something. But don't give me the mean type of improvement.
Like for example: Your wording sucks; please improve on it.
Now that's just rude and hurtful! Not to mention vague!
