Sleepless d: Owww, what happened?
S T D: A guy touched you and you passed out.
Sleepless d:...Oh yeah...that hurt.
Dan: Shut up! I'm working here!
Sleepless d: On what?
Dan: Your work.
Sleepless d: hey! I'm suppose to do th- (Dan touches him and Sleepless d screams like a little girl again)
Dan: right, I hope that you like it, no flames, and this guy don't own Naruto.
It has been five days since Naruto's recovery and there has been a search throughout the village when Sakura regained conscious, reporting an intruder but it was too late. Naruto however changed a lot since he regained consciousness; he was no longer the cheerful smiling guy everyone knew. He was more serious, less talkative, everyone thought he would be even more loud and arrogant since he stopped a war and brought Sasuke back, not himself personally but stopped him moving long enough to be captured. Everyone was concerned, talking to him whenever they got a chance to, to find out what's wrong, but he only seems to talk to his teammate's occasionally and sometimes seen smiling around Hinata.
Naruto and Hinata were both eating at Ichiraku Ramen. "Are you alright Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asks, being very concerned for him not being the care free man she once knew.
"Yeah." Naruto replied, giving her a small smile.
"Are you sure? You haven't been yourself since you recovered from your coma." She asked, very concerned.
"I'm fine, really." He tries to assure her.
"I hope so because I'm-" Hinata began.
"Hey Naruto! Hinata! We've all got a mission." Sakura yells as she entered the shop.
"Ok, let's go." Naruto said as he paid for the both of them and quickly left.
'I'm worried about you, because I love you.' Hinata finished in her head. 'Why haven't you brought up the time I confessed my feeling to you? And why can't I bring it up? It like I'm twelve all over again.' Hinata says to herself.

In the Hokage's tower, the three stood outside the Hokage's office and knocked. "Come in!" Tsunade called, the three entered to see all their friends and forma teachers in the office, and a man in his mid twenties, untidy hair and battle worn armour, they've never see this person before. "Alright that's everybody, right everyone, you're all probably wondering who this man is." They all nodded. "Well, this man's name is Maro, he is a head bounty hunter, and he's given us a mission that's payment could keep the village running for half a year alone." At this everyone's eyes widened. "The mission is-"
"The mission is to protect and escort a highly dangerous psychopathic murderer." The man named Maro finished her.
"How dangerous can this guy be? I mean 'you' captured him." Kiba stated, and a few people nodded.
"That's because he was heavily wounded before we got him, by the location of where we found him, he may have got caught between both sides of the war whilst taking a nap." He answered; everyone was slightly confused at what he said. "Plus he is a triple S ranked criminal and has a bounty on his head that could keep me going for several generations, not to mention that he killed 56 of my men before capture."
"How many men did you have?" Sakura asked.
"93 men and woman." Everyone's eyes widened again.
"So we're going to guard you from him then?" Yamato asks.
"Yes and no...He is part of a gang, and they want him back."
"How many are we to expect to come rescue him?" Kakashi asks.
"At minimum, two." Maro answeres.
"And the maximum?" Kakashi asks.
"How high's your population?" Maro asks.
"Are you suggesting that my people will fight for the enemy?" Tsunade yells.
"You have no idea how powerful these men are, it is said that the leader is immortal as old as time itself."
"That's ridicules! Besides, this village has killed people that 'claim' to be immortal." Ino yells.
"Probably just a rumour." Maro tells her. "And my prisoner is as powerful as any of the tailed beasts."
"Well lucky for us I have the nine tailed fox in me." Naruto tells Maro, grinning like he used to do.
'Naruto-Kun, he's acting like his old self again.' Hinata says in her head, smiling.
"Well that good, cause we'll need all the power we need." Maro says.
"So who is this tough guy?" Naruto asks.
"My prisoners name is Jackie Fury, and he's been given the nickname of War." Hinata crossed her eye brows, thinking that that sounded familiar
"Why such a nickname?" Kakashi asks.
"Because wherever he goes, war comes, a rumour I hope." He replies.
"What about the 'two' that are coming to rescue him? And what of their abilities?" Shikamaru asks.
"Those two...one is the leader nicknamed Death, his real name is Dan...Something."
At that Hinata's eyes widened in shock 'No...It must be a coincidence.' She thought to herself.
"His abilities are strange, whenever he makes skin on skin contact he gains their experience, their memory, their feelings and so on, it also violently tortures you and if he holds on long enough kills you." Hinata started to panic, remembering when Dan touched Naruto's forehead he screamed in pain. "The second one whose name we're not sure, but apparently is called S T D..." He said, and could tell some people wanted to laugh; Hinata at total panic mode tried her best to keep a calm face and listened. "His ability we are not sure about but apparently no one can touch the guy." Maro said, just realising what he just said, could hear a few giggles. "Let me rephrase that, no one can hit the guy."
"What about the prisoner? Just in case he escapes." Kakashi asks.
"If he does escape...put you can either put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye, or run away and hope for the best." He told them, everyone was not sure if he was joking or not. "If you need to know his abilities, he has unsurpassed taijutsu skills-"
"Ha, then you haven't seen me and Guy sensei in battle!" Lee yells dramatically.
"Ok then...but his speed is beyond belief-" Maro starts.
"Me and my beloved student Lee are also beyond belief, Naruto's speed is perhaps faster than mine should me and Lee not use the Eight gates." Guy interrupts.
"Well...you may just hold out against him on that for a while. Visual Genjutsu doesn't work on him."
"Why?" Sakura asked.
"He may have a visual Kekkei Genkai, we're not 100% sure."
"What does his Kekkei Genkai allow him to do?" Neji asks.
"It may be a Kekkei Genkai, or it could be an effect of the demon in him-"
"This guy seems to have everything!" Naruto yells.
"You didn't mention a demon involved!" Tsunade almost yelled.
"I'm paying you so much just to escort a prisoner just to be cashed in quickly, so I didn't think that it would matter." Maro told her. "The demon in him gives him a boost on everything, and his Kekkei Genkai or whatever allows him to see in the dark*, but it's permanent, so light is his weakness. The prisoner also has expert aiming."
"I also have an expert aiming." Tenten says.
"Fine, if you'll think you lot can take him, fine! The prisoner will be here in two days so prepare for the worst." Maro warns them before leaving the office.
"Alright you lot get ready and rest up until he comes, I'll be preparing the other shinobi to prepare for this." Tsunade ordered.
As they all left Naruto and Hinata walked together. "It is good to see that you're getting better after your near death experience." Said a voice next to them, Naruto turned to see it was Sai talking to him, with Sakura walking next to him.
"It wasn't a near death experience." Sakura told him.
"Correct me if I'm wrong Sakura, but didn't you say that Naruto was perhaps brain-dea-" Sai was about to finish, but Sakura punched him, leaving him close to unconsciousness on the floor.
"I don't know what he was talking about." Sakura stated.
"I'm sure." Naruto was giving her an evil look, but had a smirk on his face to show he was joking.
"But still, it's good to see you back to normal." Sakura smiles.
"Yeah...perhaps I just needed some excitement." Naruto smirks. "So what do you think about the mission?"
"Well...it sounds dangerous, but I'm sure Maro was over exaggerating." Sakura tells him. "What about you Hinata?...Hinata?"
But Hinata mind was elsewhere. 'Why did those two help us when they were going to rescue their friend from us? They said Naruto-Kun could stop War for a time, but they were the enemy, so why? Should I tell the others?' she was asking herself.
"No." A voice came in her head.
'No? Who said that?' She started to panic and demanded.
"I am the voice of the person you made a contract with, and I will only tell you this, if you tell anyone about them or the contract, Naruto's life will be endangered."
'Contract? I didn't sign any...' she then remembered Dan taking her blood and saying something about a blood contract. 'Oh...so I can't talk about them?' she asked, but didn't get a responce.
"Hinata?" Naruto shook her a little, bringing her back to the real world. "Oh good, we were getting a little worried about you." He said.
"W-What? S-Sorry, where you saying something?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I asked what you thought of the mission." Sakura told her.
"Oh...it sounded dangerous." She simple said.
"So you don't think he was over exaggerating?" Sakura asks.
"You never know...he could have been telling the truth." Hinata answered, walking on, leaving the other two confused at her behaviour.

About a day's journey away, two certain cloaked guys were arguing with a third cloaked figure in the centre of a small village. "You stupid arsehole! I told you to find and make a deal with those two and not to kill anybody!" Dan yelled, gesturing everywhere, showing massacred corpses everywhere.
"Yes! We only kill when we have no choice!" S T D agrees.
"Hey, some of these aren't my doing, those two stopped here to finish their last job before they'll join us. I just helped get rid of witnesses." The third one says in defence.
"! You didn't even let the children live! You even killed the deaf blind man" Dan yells.
"Just be glad I did it now when half the village went to sell their harvest."
"Fine, fine, where are they?" Dan asks.
"In the tavern." The Third figure said walking towards it.
"I'm sorry! Are we done with the issue now!" S T D yells.
"What's done is done, now hurry up! We may have all the time in the world but we've got a deadline!" Dan tells him, entering the tavern.
"'sigh' Fine." S T D says and quickly entered the tavern.
When he entered, he saw Dan sit across the table from two men in their mid fifty's in purple kimonos and matching fedoras and a large wrapped up object attached to both their backs. And he saw his other companion stand guard next to a highly angered snake looking guy, that his boss captured a week and a half ago.
"Ah, hello my old friend, I see you have a new body." The older one of the two said purple clothed men said.
"Good of you to notice Gon, at least you noticed." Dan smiled.
"Now that is unfair, you know Gin is blind." Gon says.
"Oh sorry, I forget every time." Dan laughs.
"Apology not accepted." Gin says.
"I was having an interesting conversation with your prisoner Kabuto, apparently he served Orochimaru and Sasori of the red sand for a time." Gon said.
"I know, Orochimaru still owes me for giving him immortality." Dan replies.
"I'm sorry to say but my forma master, Orochimaru is dead." Kabuto says.
"He isn't dead; he's imprisoned somewhere that I can't reach him, if he died then I would know." Dan tells him, making Kabuto's eyes widen in slight fear. "Now back to business, I need you two to help me recapture War."
"Ah, so he's alive? Where has he been?" Gon asks.
"We're not sure, but he's twice as powerful then he is now, because of his body of choice." Dan says.
"So who did he choose?" Gin asked.
"An unborn child of a woman to the fury clan." Dan says miserably, making Gin and Gon eyes widened in shock.
"Stupid bastard." Gon yells.
"What's the big deal? I've never heard of the Fury clan." Kabuto says.
"That's because they were wiped out during the Third Shinobi war, because of their power." Gon tells him.
"And what is their 'power'?" Kabuto asks in interest.
"They could breed warriors with demons in them that allowed them to fight head to head with a kage before they hit their teens." Dan answers him.
"If they were that powerful, how were they wiped out?" Kabuto asked.
"They may have had power, but they lacked numbers, but War still was stupid to go for one of them." Dan says.
"Why?" he asks.
"Because he already has a demon of mass destruction in him." Dan tells him.
"So you're telling me that he now has two demons in him?" Kabuto laughs. "That's impossible; no human can have two demons in him."
"That's the thing...War is perhaps more animal then man." Dan answers him. "So, will you work with me?" Dan asks Gin and Gon.
"We are old friends...We will always be there, where is War?" Gon asks.
"He'll be in Konohagakure in two days, that's why I asked you to come along." Dan smirks.
"Good, you still know we want vengeance." Gon says happily.
*May have taken that from something
Dan: And we're done!
S T D: 'Yawn' About time, I was getting bored at playing 52 card pick up by myself.
Sleepless d: Owww, (looks around then at himself) why am I in a tutu?
S T D: Got bored.
Sleepless d: alright then...Hey Dan what are you writing?
Dan: Just finished writing a story.
Sleepless d: What! Gimmi that! (Snatches the paper and reads it) not bad, want to work together?
Dan: maybe...why don't you sleep on it? (touches him again and another girly scream) I hoped you liked it, more to come!
