Hinata didn't know what to do was Juugo hurt should she help him but all she heard were his screams telling her to run away and get away from here she decided to run she ran through the dark forest Byakugan activated she gripped the package tightly.
She then heard more screams but these weren't warning screams these were screams of pain she stopped in her tracks and looked back at Juugo he was on his knees pounding the ground he got up and started chopping down and punching trees.
She ran back to see if she could help "oh Hinata what are you doing did you see him he just massacred eight men, but he did it to save your life so I guess you should be grateful" she arrived at the clear area and silently approached Juugo.
He was on all fours muttering to himself she carefully drew her kunai and then called out "Juugo are you okay" Juugo quickly turned to her; he lost most of his monstrous features now he just had black markings on his face.
He then came closer and closer to her a crazy expression was on his face he then reached for her "palm strike!" she landed a hit over Juugo's chest and she didn't know why but that caused the black markings to retreat he then fell down to the ground.
The Next Morning
Juugo woke up in a state of panic he was breathing heavily and was sweating he looked around and saw he was back in a tent "was all that just a dream? I hope so I didn't want Hinata to see me like that"
Hinata peeked into the tent and saw that Juugo had woken up "hello Juugo did you sleep well" Juugo rubbed his head "yeah" Juugo then removed the blanket that was covering him.
Hinata turned red and gasped, Juugo then looked down and saw that he was naked he quickly covered up "where are my cloths" Hinata looked away and began to twiddle her fingers "well they were covered in blood so lat night I took them off and washed them at the lake.
It was now Juugo who turned red but he regained his control and then he got really serious "Hinata did you see what I became last night" Hinata silently said "yes" Juugo took in a deep breath he then got up and climbed out of the tent "follow me"
They both began to walk past the trees there was a loud rumbling noise as they approached their destination they arrived the nearby lake with a waterfall Juugo completely naked calmly walked into the water and began scrubbing his hair.
"Aren't you coming in" oh I cant I'm fully dressed" "so then take your clothes off" "oh, oh I cant I'm I cant" "come on don't be shy just take them off" Hinata for some reason she couldn't explain complied and she began removing her cloths
She climbed into the water and got somewhat close to Juugo as he motioned her to "let me tell you Hinata remember how yesterday I told you that they call me Juugo of the Scales" "yes."
"Well the reason they call me that is because I have a split personality sometimes I'm kind and peaceful wouldn't hurt a fly but sometimes I'm a murderous monster this is decided like a scale which way they'll tip decides the personality."
Hinata didn't know how to react "The bad me is what you saw last night when I saw those men and what they were gonna do to you I just lost control and killed them all it is also very difficult for me to return to normal thank you for knocking me out."
"It was nothing really huh!' Juugo had just embraced her in a hug he held her tight against his body she felt so safe in his arms which she also found strange but she felt like he could protect her from anything.
(O.C. warning)
Meanwhile
Two men were running to a carve deep in the heart of the wood once they got in they slowly approached a man wearing all blue cloths with armor on his shoulders and forearms he also had a cloth over his eyes.
The two men kneeled down "Tezuka sama the third squad has been slaughtered" Tezuka turned his head towards the two men and calmly said "by whom" "Juugo of the Scales" Tezuka stood up and grabbed his giant double sided sword.
"Well then I'll go and give this Juugo a proper greeting tell the remaining four squads to join me" "yes sir" the two men ran past their master "hmm only one man is needed to deliver a message" Tezuka then appeared 30 ft in front of his men and continued walking
"What was that about" one of the men turned to his companion "hey are you alright? Say something" the man then fell to the ground and was in two pieces "damn" "master why do you unnecessarily slaughter?"
(This man Tezuka Katsumoto one of the seven swordsmen of the mist leads five squads of rogue ninja from the mist looking for nothing but new prey he is said to be the most precise killer of the swordsmen despite the fact that he is blind)
Back to the Campsite
Juugo and Hinata were now fully dressed back at their camp they were packing everything up "by the way why are you here Hinata" "I'm on a mission I have to deliver this" "what is it?" "I don't know" "well open it"
Hinata opened the box and saw that it held a scroll on the scroll it read Plans against Tezuka Katsumoto "who is Tezuka Katsumoto" "I remember Suigetsu mentioning him he's a swordsman of the mist and he's a really unstable killer like me"
"No Juugo" Hinata put her hand on Juugo's cheek "your not a killer you are you, you cant let you other side control you" "I wish it was that easy, anyway if these are plans against him those men were probably working for him I have to accompany you for protection."
"Juugo you don't have too" "no! I'm not going to let anything happen too you I will protect you I swear it" Hinata nodded and they began their journey to the village "hmm looks like this isn't a solo mission anymore well maybe I'll do one on a different day"
"Hey Hinata who's Naruto?" "what!?" "I heard you mutter something about Naruto who is he?" "He's a boy that I lo- I mean do you now how it feels like when you have strong feelings for someone but they don't return them"
Juugo looked at her for a while and sadly said "now I do" Hinata knew what he meant "Juugo I'm sorry" "no its okay, come on hurry we must get there fast" Juugo increased his pace "does Juugo really love me, no it cant be could it"
