Alright, I know that the rest of the story has been going by quickly, but that was just stuff you might've needed to know that had to be gotten out of the way. Naruto will have control over his sand form, that form will be called the Toki no Suna state, and since in this story the drain on his life and chakra was to feed the second voice, which will now be gone, he will be able to use the Toki no Suna state until he either hits water, or needs to change back. This meaning, Suiton jutsus will become his worst enemy. The daggertail/bladed chain will make an appearance, and Hinata will be as strong as Naruto, just in her own way. Now, here comes the main point of the story, total ownage, Konoha bashing, and Super Naruto Gaara and Hinata. On with teh story! [Be advised, teh is not a typo in this instance]

The Hunters

Ch 3 - Genin Graduation, The Mission To Wave

Sunagakure Ninja Academy, 4 Years Later

Naruto and Hinata had been having a very good life since they came to Suna. Naruto now wore a black version of the traditional white arab pants of his clan with black boots that went halfway up his calf. He wore a tight black sleeveless shirt and his right arm was wrapped in bandages up to the shoulder, all the way down to the second knuckle of each finger.

Hinata's outfit was a little different. She wore the same style pants as she wore in the anime, but they were black, and the exposed part of her legs were wrapped in bandages. She wore a shirt that had no left sleeve, or left shoulder, and had a long sleeve for the right side. The shirt was tight and black like Naruto's, showing her figure. She also had the bloodline active, could transform already, but when she got the second voice, it tried to tell her to forget Naruto. Hence how she could already transform. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, her bangs and sides of her hair remaining untied, her hair now reaching her waist. She wore a black choker with their clan emblem hanging off it as a pendant, a silver hourglass filled with black sand. Gaara's outfit was the same as in the Anime.

Naruto was sitting in the back of the room with Hinata and Gaara. Today was the day that Suna's Graduation Exam was to take place. The Exam consisted of 3 types of jutsu. Any type of Kawarimi, any type of Bunshin, and any technique that no one in the academy had seen yet, that including techniques the teachers have seen. Naruto wasn't worried in the slightest, their sensei, Midori, a kind man who wielded a katana and, as his name suggests, summons most varieties of bird.

He began calling off names, and eventually, "Kitanaisuna Hinata." [She's in their clan since she's {as of a year ago} betrothed to Naruto and no longer a Hyuuga in anything other than hair color]

Hinata stood and walked to the front, Midori nodding to her. Hinata was very quick already, and given that the transfer of the Toki no Suna into her bloodstream was successful, using Osoi Toki, she could move faster than the eye could see. The fun part about their powers, when they eventually met the sole survivor of the Uchiha Massacre, they would have a defense. Since their speed was derived from Osoi Toki, the sharingan couild not copy it, and due to their strength and speed being mostly derived from their ancestor, a man totally covered in the powers of the Toki no Suna's taint, their skill could not be copied by the sharingan.

Hinata, using Osoi Toki, took an empty chair and placed it where she was, and then began making handsigns for a jutsu Naruto and Gaara had come up with. "Suna Bunshin no Jutsu! [Art of the Sand Clone]" Hinata said, sand coming from a bag she had been carrying forming into a clone of herself, only sand colored. Midori was impressed that they had managed to take an ability that was only possible for Gaara due to Shukaku's sand-manipulation and turned it into a legitimate jutsu. She made 2 handsigns for the last jutsu, something she had come up with during meditation. Glowing sand began to gather in her hand, forming a ball with a glowing sand cloud surrounding it. [The random sand orbs you find throughout PoP - The Two Thrones] "Suna Kata! Kitanai Suna no Kansen! [Sand Style! Infection of the Unclean Sand!]" Hinata said, charging forward. She slammed her hand into Midori's desk, and everyone watched as it began to decay, eventually turning to sand.

"Very good, Hinata. You may take a hitai-ate and return to your seat." Hinata smiled and took a Hitai-ate, tieing [Spelling?] it around her neck. She walked back to Naruto and hugged him as Gaara was called up. Gaara performed the traditional Kawarimi and Bunshin while his other was answered by putting Midori into the Sabaku Kyuu before letting him out, getting congratulated. He removed the metal plate and attached it to the belt keeping his gourd secure. "Namikaze Naruto."

Naruto went to the front and performed the same things as Hinata up until the final test. "I can't very well do my Toki no Suna Henge since Hinata-chan's seen it, so I'm gonna go with what works, and wing it with a new move." Naruto said, spreading his legs wide as he held his right arm tightly with his left. he held his arm downward, palm facing down, focusing his chakra into the shape he needed it while summoning the sand he needed. The sand formed around his hand, forming a claw, before melting together, forming glass. Then, glowing sand covered the glass claw, melting into glowing blue glass. He focused his chakra into the claw, the claw glowing very brightly. "Suna Kata! Toki Kagami Tsume! [Sand Style! Time Mirror Claw!]" Naruto jumped towards the wall, and jabbed his claw into it, ripping through it like a hot knife through butter. Glowing blue marks were left in the wall before the wall around the marks shattered like glass. Midori was amazed.

"Very impressive, Naruto. Try not to let too many people see that move, it's very verstile and could win a war should we get into one." Midori said, motioning for Naruto to take a headband. Naruto let his claw turn back into sand, picking up a headband and removed the metal plate, attaching it to the bandaging on his right bicep. He walked back to Hinata and took a shot in the dark, kissing her. He passed out when she suddenly started trying to french him.

Sunagakure Mission Center, 1 month later

"...Okay, team 9, we have only 1 mission available to you, but it's important, we hav received intelligence that Konoha has sent out Shinobi with a bridge-builder to Wave, we are being commissioned to ensure that nothing happens to them by our ally the Sandaime, as he believes the bridge-builder is not being truthful. Your mission specifics are to tail the Konoha Shinobi and intervene should their situation become comprimised by hired ninjas should they appear to take out the bridge-builder. Do you accept?" The yondaime kazekage, Gaara's father, asked, Gaara, Naruto, and Hinata scoffing at the thought.

"Jiji, you really have to ask? We haven't had an A-rank yet, of course we would jump at the chance for a challenge. Accepted by me, you guys?" Naruto asked. Hinata nodded, and Gaara just held his stoic gaze.

"Otou-san, we accept." Gaara said, Baki looking down at him.

"Very well, you are to leave immediately, stop by the gates for your mission packs and be ony our way." The Kazekage said, team 9 falling apart into sand. "Glad Naruto figured out how to get the Kage Bunshin special ability in the Suna Bunshin by making a small, simple brain of pure chakra in the skull. I've gotta stop talking to myself, send in the next team."

Road to Tazuna's Village, Nami no Kuni, 1 hour later

Team 7 under Hatake Kakashi, consisting of Haruno Sakura, Aburame Shino, and Uchiha Sasuke, had gotten through a tussle with the Oni Doubou [Demon Brothers] of Kiri, and were now on their way to their client Tazuna's home to further their mission. They were going to continue when Shino tackled the client. A second later, Kakashi noticed and shouted for the other 2 to duck. A huge cleaver came out of nowhere, embedding itself in a tree, flying past where their necks were only seconds before. A large gray-skinned man appeared on top of the blade, wearing cow camo arm warmers and large pinstripe pants, bandages covering his face like a mask.

"Hmph, Sharingan no Kakashi, I should've guessed, no wonder the Oni Doubou failed in their quest, what an honor to fight you." The man said, seeming to grin behind the mask.

"Momochi Zabuza, the Kiri no Oni, one of the seven swordsman of the mist, I wish I could say I was glad to be fighting you, but I have to cut you down so that I can get Tazuna-san to his village." Kakashi said, pulling his lopsided headband into a normal position, revealing his sharingan eye.

"Well, looks like you're going to have to take me out a little quicker than you might've thought, because if not," Zabuza began, vanishing, and reappearing swinging a kunai at Sakura, "Who's going to save your students?!" Before he could complete the swing, sand engulfed his arm from out of nowhere. He turned his head, sensing someone behind him, holding Zabuza in place.

"I'm afraid I can't let you kill them, as much as I would like to." The boy said, his arm extended outward, controlling the sand. "My name is Sabaku no Gaara from Sunagakure, you shall die this day." Gaara said in his raspy voice. Zabuza made a water clone and sent it after Gaara. Gaara didn't flinch at all, regardless of Kakashi's screaming for him to move. A second later, when the Zabuza clone was on him, it was pierced by a spear made out of sand. A new voice filled the road.

"You didn't think he came alone did you?" A young female voice asked, Hinata appearing from the bushes. She had a smile on her face, looking at Zabuza with challenging eyes. "Kitanaisuna Hinata, teammate of Sabaku no Gaara, at your service." It was at this time, Haku decided to make an appearance. She [haku's a chick in this one, Gaara has to be with someone, right? And I don't know enough about matsuri to put him with her] sent her senbon into Zabuza's neck, intiating the fake death state. She jumped out of the bushes.

"Thank you for subduing him for me, I will dispose of the body." Satisfied, Gaara dropped his sand, recalling it to his gourd, Haku vanishing with the body. Kakashi's eyes widened a little when he saw who Hinata was more clearly.

"Hyuuga-san, thank Kami, we've been looking all over for you, we request that you return to Konoha under order of the Hyuuga Council." Kakashi said, walking towards her slightly, confident that she would go back with them. That is, until she reappeared in front of him with some kind of bladed chain wrapped around his neck. The chain seemed to extend from her left arm.

"Never call me Hyuuga again, when that family disowned me I left for Suna to be with the boy I love, and now, we are engaged, as my name now suggests. If you ever call me that again, you'll learn a few of the uses of the Tantou Bikou. [Dagger Tail]" Hinata said, recalling the chain into her palm. "We are on a mission to defend you in case your client was lying about the mission difficulty due to a lack of funds, and therefore, we have been tailing you from afar since you left the boat. Our mission is A-ranked, and we will get the credit for the higher difficulty of this mission, as per the agreement between Kazekage-sama and Hokage-sama."

This didn't sit too well with Sasuke, said arrogant prick voicing his opinions. "Listen here, Woman, I will not have some runaway girl take credit for my first shot at a high-rank mission. If I have more prestige, I can be given more power, so you will give us the credit for this, or else!"

"Or else, what?" A new voice, a young male one, asked, seemingly angered by the Uchiha's arrogance. [Guess Who] A boy with blond hair appeared, a sword drawn in his right hand and a glowing blue dagger held in the other hand. His eyes were a fierce blue, that seemed like they were more fierce than they should be. "What makes you think that threatening my Fiance is smart? We will take the credit for the higher difficulty of the mission, or we will take the seperate agreement of the next 10 A-rank mission's pay from your team, as per the agreement between our Kage and yours."

"Fiance? What weakling would want a runaway weakling as his fiance?" Sasuke asked, Naruto appearing before him with his sword's tip directly in front of the Uchiha's eye.

"I wonder, would Itachi mind if I finished what he started by removing the last person aside from him with the Sharingan?" Naruto asked, his eyes starting to bleed to black from the outer-edges of the whites of his eyes. "I am Namikaze Kitanaisuna Naruto, the 2nd of my clan to ever unleash the Toki no Suna state, it is not wise to anger me."

"So, it's the Kyuubi-Brat, there's a nice bounty on your head since the council learned of your survival after word of Hidan's death spread. They said that it was Namikaze Naruto, and apparently, you really are my sensei's son, it is unfortunate you are tainted by the demon within you." Kakashi said, drawing a kunai and charging Naruto. The Markings on Naruto's left arm blasted out light of the same color as the markings, his shirt and bandages vanishing as the marks spread like Orochimaru's Juin. As the marks moved, his skin turned black, spikes appearing as explained in ch 2, Naruto putting the dagger away as a scythe started materializing. As all this happend, a whirlwind of dark energy swirled at Naruto's feet. Naruto grabbed the now menacing and cursed-looking scythe, kicking Sasuke down and turning to Kakashi.

"Kyuubi has been absorbed by my kekkei genkai, this is the highest power of my kekkei genkai, the Toki no Suna state, using the full strength of the infection our clan founder received via the Toki no Suna. We are not here to fight you, accept our conditions or face the consequences of turning away our help." Naruto said, Kakashi stumbling back when he heard this was a kekkei genkai. The appearance was so fierce and powerful, yet so, corrupt. He was sure that this was the Kyuubi's doing.

"Liar! This is no Kekkei Genkai! This is the Kyuubi's doing!" Kakashi said, scared for his life.

"Hehehehehe, arrogant fool, can't believe that there is a kekkei genkai so much more powerful than that eye of yours? Look at the chakra yourself, I know you can see chakra, you just can't see the chakra network, look at my chakra and tell me it's The Kyuubi's chakra! You can sense it yourself, can't you? This form does not hold the anger and malice the Kyuubi radiated as if it were blood from a fresh wound, this was born of dedication to make my fiance more powerful, you cannot deny that this is my own chakra!!!" Naruto shouted, a frightening grin on his face. Hinata, while she would've been afraid 5 years ago when she was still a Hyuuga, was reveling in Kakashi's terror, induced by her own Fiance.

Kakashi's eyes widened even more when he saw that it was indeed Yellow-Orange Chakra, not red. It wasn't the Kyuubi's chakra, but then, what kind of chakra was it? "That might not be the Kyuubi's, but it certainly isn't yours, human chakra isn't that color."

"Just as Hatake Sakumo's chakra was not white? Do you forget why he was called the white fang? This is the kekkei genkai of the Kitanaisuna clan at its fullest, the corruption of the Toki no Suna, completely under our own control!" Naruto was a little anxious to mess with Konoha for their mistreatment. He had half a mind to follow Itachi's example and kill off all but one of the Hyuuga clan. And the one he would leave, was not technically a Hyuuga anymore. Naruto pulled out a canteen and splashed some water on his face, a blue whirlwind rising from the ground and engulfing him. He became visible again in his normal human state.

"Hm, it seems water negates this power, that is something that you ought not have let me know. I know many suiton ninjutsu." Kakashi said, a slightly maniacal grin apparent through his mask.

"That's where I come in," Hinata began, pulling out and opening her own canteen, "I have completely mastered the art of water manipulation, the only thing I don't do is make water from the hydrogen in the air, doing so is a waste of my chakra, regardless of how vast Naruto-kun's kekkei genkai has made my reserves." Hinata moved the water out of the canteen, had it fly around Naruto's head, and return to the canteen. "It doesn't help your odds when you take into account the fact that I can enter the Toki no Suna state as well."

Sasuke was fuming. This power was incredible, it could easily allow him to kill his brother, he should have this power, he was the Uchiha, this amazing power should be his. That's when he got an idea. "If this is a kekkei genkai, then how did this ex-hyuuga get it?"

Naruto grinned, knowing the Uchiha would want to know. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Sasuke only got angrier, and before he could charge at Naruto, Tazuna shouted out.

"I'M PAYING YOU KONOHA SHINOBI TO PROTECT ME, SO CUT THE CRAP OR I'LL GIVE MY MISSION TO THOSE TWERPS!" Taunza shouted, angry about his protection getting wrapped up in personal affairs. "Let's just get to my house so that we can be done with this, okay?"

Tazuna's House

Inari, Tazuna's grandson, had been glaring at the Konoha and Suna nins, thinking they were trying to be heroes. Finally, he lashed out.

"Why do you even try to go against Gatou?! You'll never win, you'll be killed!" Inari shouted, tears starting to form.

"Gatou is nothing but a coward, hiding behind the strength of others, he flaunts his money and who he is, sucking the life from the hard-working people of this country. I won't have it." Naruto said, Gaara speaking next.

"If not for Naruto, I would probably have killed you for breaking the wonderful silence we had, I would be a much more terrible moster than Gatou, I would be a monster that gave my entire existence to killing those who even slightly annoyed me, Gatou is no better, while I would've given in to the sin of wrath, he has already given in to the sin of greed, he shall die." Gaara was always a little cryptic while getting straight to the point. Hinata took her turn.

"We aren't trying to take on an army of stronger ninja, our abilities allow us to enter a fight and exit a fight the same as we had been when we left the shower. Only someone with incredible strength and skill could take us down individually, as a team, no one person can defeat us, not even an army of Uchiha Sasuke's could take us down at full power, what will a single A-rank missing-nin like Momochi Zabuza do? Gaara alone could've killed him." Hinata said, Kakashi stepping against the Suna-nins.

"I highly doubt you are that powerful, Sasuke is an exceptional ninja, and I doubt you genin could defeat Zabuza, he is about as strong as me." Kakashi said, Naruto scoffing.

"Zabuza wouldn't have gotten caught in Hinata-chan's tantou-bikou." Naruto said, sipping his tea as Kakashi glared at him. "A simple glare won't do anything to me Kakashi, when he was still in my gut, Kyuubi-teme was so much more intimidating." Kakashi would've started another fight if he didn't sense Hinata's anger. Considering that with that lithe and slender tantou-bikou of hers, and the fact he couldn't get in a good jutsu with the family there, he would be dead before he could make the second seal for the Chidori.

"Uzumaki, you would do well to know your place!" Kakashi said, feeling Naruto's tantou on his neck, the sheer power of the tantou crippling Kakashi.

"Those fools are either traitorous and deserve to be ignored, or dead and deserve to be respected, you will neither address me by that name, nor say it with spite, for regardless of their intentions, alive or dead, my Okaa-san was an Uzumaki, and if you disrespect her, as far as I'm concerned, you disrespect the Namikaze, the Uzumaki, and the Kitanaisuna. You would do well to know when you're outmatched, my abilities exceed the Hiraishin in combat efficiency as I can teleport anywhere within eyesight on a whim, no chakra recquired, as well as slow time with the exception of myself, I could kill you as painfully as I wanted and you would be none the wiser until it hit you in the afterlife." Naruto said, Kakashi resisting the urge to gulp at the sheer rage in the boy's voice. "Tazuna-san, my teammates and I are going to be returning to our campsite to rest with our sensei, have a good night."

And with that, Naruto and Hinata vanished, Gaara vanishing in a swirl of sand.

The Next Day

Naruto was in the forest with Hinata, just enjoying the exotic feeling of being away from Suna. For as long as he could remember, he was either being beaten in Konoha, or taught in Suna. As he and Hinata walked, they heard Kakashi talking to Team 7. He was explaining the tree climbing exercise. Naruto scoffed.

"Nowhere near as annoying as how Baki-sensei taught us the water-walking exercise. Or painful. I remember almost falling in, man, falling into molten sand would not have been good for my health." Naruto said, Hinata smiling.

"They're Konoha genin, what do you expect? I mean, really, they leave their genin weak and overpower their jounin, and then say that their ninja populace is the greatest, whereas our quality by far outclasses theirs, we could win a war with them if we had a little more ninja, like another 3 at Kazekage-sama's level, and Konoha would burn to the ground." Hinata said, a little annoyed as she listened to Kakashi's teamwork bullshit.

"Wanna mess with 'em?" Naruto asked, Hinata grinning as she started out of the foliage.

Out in the clearing

"What are you 2 doing here?" Kakashi asked, annoyed at them seeing his training methods.

"Just checking to see what kind of skill we would have to work with should a fight break out later on. Not too impressed if you're only now teaching tree-climbing." Naruto said, Kakashi raising an eyebrow.

"And what skills do you know? I can guarantee you don't have any non-kekkei-genkai skill that I can't perform." Kakashi said, arrogant through his attainment of the Sharingan.

"I can guarantee that I can do 3 non-clan jutsus that you can't." Hinata said, Kakashi smirking beneath the mask.

"Deal." Kakashi said, waiting for Hinata to pull out her jutsus. Hinata made ten handsigns in a few seconds, her eyes closed. She opened her eyes quickly, revealing eyes that had the whites of them turned black, and the retina was a circle the color of her left arm's marking, a thicker dot in the place of her pupil, bearing the same color. Kakashi got annoyed, "I thought you said no clan-jutsus."

"I did, this is an original doujutsu that anyone can use, you don't have to have Naruto-kun's kekkei genkai to use it. All it does is allow for someone to use Gaara's fighting style, we're still working on turning it into a kekkei genkai jutsu." Hinata said, water forming in the air and floating around her protectively. "It does this by calling on a familiar spirit of yours, should you have one, and giving them a surrogate form to operate in your elemental affinity, acting defensively as Gaara's sand does, until you command that form to do something else, Gaara's familiar is someone who has been lost to him for awhile, mine is my Okaa-san, taking shape in the affinity that I inherited. You do not know the jutsu, and the handsigns are just for the simple part of the jutsu's manipulation, the summoning, the element manipulation is something you have to do all on your own. We call it the Reikeibigan [Spirit Guard Eye]. A bonus, even if we don't manage to make it a kekkei genkai jutsu, it can't be used if the user already has a doujutsu."

"Okay, that's one, you still have to pull out 2 more." Kakashi said, angered a fair deal at this powerful doujutsu escaping his grasp, or rather, Sasuke's. Hinata made six handsigns, keeping her doujutsu active.

"Suna Kata! Kanshisha-Rei Rinji Sosei! [Sand Style! Guardian-Spirit Temporary Rebirth!]" Hinata said, the water gaining mass and taking the shape of a woman. It began to gain detail, before it started gaining coloring. "This technique takes longer than what I based it off of, but it is powerful nonetheless. This is based off of the Mizu Bunshin technique, and it takes your familiar spirit and gives it a host body in a clone of your element. This technique is especially interesting with Naruto-kun, given who it forms, and the fact it forms them into a new technique I'm about to show you." Hinata said, the perfect clone of her mother now looking at Kakashi hatefully.

"Hinata-chan told me about your stupidity last night, what would your old teammate say if he found that you were bullying your sensei's son? I can kill you right now, this jutsu, not to Hinata-chan's prior knowledge, gives me my chakra network from while I was alive, I can kill you and I won't lose my host body until after I lose the chakra that I have, if you kill the clone, it will reshape in my form again, I could kill you and you could do nothing to stop me." The Clone said, turning to Hinata and smiling. Hinata hugged the clone and told her that she was sorry about calling her out for seemingly no reason. Hinata let go of the Reikeibigan and made a single handsign. It was the handsign for bird.

"Fuuton: Kaze Bunshin! [Wind Release: Wind Clone!]" Hinata stood as a perfect clone of her appeared after a quick breeze blew by. Hinata let her tantou-bikou extend and lashed out at her clone, wrapping it in the tantou-bikou, and pulling it closed around her clone, the clone losing its detail and turning gray, turning into a whirlwind that burst outward, the tantou-bikou unraveling. "Naruto-kun's Kaze Bunshin is the same as a Kage Bunshin only it doesn't give you what the clone learned and it releases a Fuuton: Daitoppa in all directions once dispersed."

Sasuke was furious, having only seen the last one, but being angered by some suna trash having a technique that might one day be useful against Itachi. He could have a Kaze Bunshin form behind Itachi and kill itself to send Itachi into a potentially fatal blow.

"Well, looks like you win, congrats, now will you leave?" Kakashi asked, starting to get annoyed with their presence.

"Sure, but start these guys on water-walking soon, we're really going to need these guys to be stronger than this by the time we get to a battle." Naruto said, he and Hinata vanishing from sight.

{Okay, this Chapter's done, but if you need an idea on how Naruto and Hinata look as they appear wherever they're going, it's how the enemies teleported in front of you in the prince of persia games. Later pplz!}
