# Chapter 3: Naruto vs Hiashi
# Akatsuki's Hideout:
"I assume you have a mission for us, leader?" Kisame said with a grin. It had been a long time since he had killed someone.
"Yes. According to Zetsu the nine tailed jinchuriki is currently unguarded and roaming about the lands. He's currently in a small village just outside of the land of fire."
"But what would we do with the Kyuubi jinchuriki now? We can't extract his tailed beast without the first eight."
"That may be true but we don't know if we will ever get a golden opportunity like this. It's not everyday that a jinchuriki is left totally unguarded like this."
"Okay then let's go get us a jinchuriki,partner."
"Remember you have already failed once in this regard. Do not fail me again."
"Okay okay. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Naruto won't escape us this time." Kisame said all the while grinning like a baby getting his favorite toy.
'This is going to be fun.'
# Naruto and Hinata:
"Damnnn ittttttt. Why can't I do it?," Naruto yelled.
"N-n-naruto-kun what's the matter?" Hinata asked having heard Naruto yelling all the way from her room.
They were staying at a small village just outside the border of the land of fire. Since morning Naruto had been trying to make a rasengan with one hand.
"If ero-sensei can do it. Why can't I? Damn it."
"Ummm N-n-naruto-kun what are you trying to do?"
"Well ero-sensei taught me the rasengan a while ago. It's a pretty awesome move but the problem is I can't do it with one hand."
"C-c-could I see the jutsu? M-m-maybe I can help." Hinata said shyly.
"Really? Okay,wait. Kage bunshin no jutsu."
A clone appeared beside Naruto with a puff of smoke.
"Byakugan."
Hinata activated her Byakugan so she could accurately see the inner workings of the Rasengan.
Naruto put out his right hand in front of the clone and started collecting chakra while the clone started spinning the chakra. After it was done the clone vanished. With the complete rasengan in hand Naruto showed it off to Hinata.
"You see Hinata-chan. I can do it easily with a clone but when I try to do it alone, I can only make the shape."
The rasengan was actually a simple jutsu but a very ingenious one. By making a ball of chakra and spinning it one could do a lot of damage. Besides, it didn't even need any hand seals. After watching Naruto use it Hinata got an idea.
"Naruto-kun, I t-t-think I have an idea."
"Really, Hinata-chan?"
Hinata noded her head."I think it would be easier for you i-i-if you didn't need to concentrate on using your chakra only in your right hand."
Naruto had a lot of chakra. Even without the Kyuubi he had more chakra than most jounin. So it was hard for him to use chakra only in a specific spot. That's why he had such bad chakra control.
"Huh! I didn't get it." Naruto said not understanding.
"Umm what I am saying is i-i-if I blocked all of your chakra points except the ones in your hand, i-i-it could be easier for you to make the shape and spin it."
Hearing the explanation Naruto still didn't understand. But he was a man and he had his pride. And that pride wouldn't allow him to admit his inability to understand.
"That's a great idea." He blurted out.
Hinata couldn't help but giggle. It was pretty apparent that Naruto still didn't understand. But Hinata wasn't going to tell him because he was just too cute when he did stuff like that." D-d-do you want me to do it now?"
"Yah,sure. I need to get this down as fast as I can."
"It may hurt a little, Naruto-kun."
"I can take it."
"O-o-okay."
With grace Hinata accurately hit all of Naruto's chakra points except the ones on his right hand.
"That didn't hurt...much." Naruto tried to put up a brave face even though it hurt a lot.
Hinata giggled again. Naruto was just too adorable.
"Let's do this then dattebayo."
With those words of self-encouragement Naruto started gathering chakra in his right hand. Hinata was right it was easier now that there was only one path for the chakra to go through. The ball shape of the Rasengan was formed in a matter of seconds. Now came the hard part. Before when he tried to do it with one hand he had to divide his brain into two. But now that the circulation of chakra through his right hand came naturally, he could give 70% of his attention to spinning the chakra inside.
"Hey hey, I am doing it."
A complete rasengan glowed in all its glory in Naruto's hand. Naruto grinned as hard as humanly possible. But the grin was short lived as the Rasengan lost control and popped.
"Y-y-you almost had it Naruto-kun. I am sure you can do ..."
Before Hinata could say anything more, Naruto hugged her.
"Thanks, Hinata-chan."
"Eeeeepp," Hinata turned as red as a tomato.
Naruto hurriedly let go and looked at Hinata puzzlingly,"Do you have a fever Hinata-chan?" You look really red."
"N-n-no, I-i-i am o-o-okay," Hinata said barely able to stay conscious.
"I get it. You are hungry, aren't you?" Naruto said and grabbed Hinata by her hand and led her downstairs not even giving her time to reply.
Hinata looked at her and Naruto's conjoined hands and finally lost it. Then and there she fainted.
# Hiashi:
"How close are we, Hana-san."
"I would say about two hours away."
"And you are sure we are on the right track."
"You don't have to worry about that. My nose is one of the best in the clan." Hana grinned.
"I will take your word for it then."
# Naruto and Hinata(Half an hour later):
"Here have some breakfast."
"T-t-thank you Naruto-kun."
"You sure you don't have a fever?"
"D-d-don't worry about it Naruto-kun. I-i-i am fine."
"Okay then wanna see what I bought?"
"Yes,please."
After confirming that Hinata wanted to see it Naruto brought out a small orange colored book.
"T-t-that's a bingo book,right?"
"Yup, it sure is. You see I was just thinking about our money problem and how to solve it. It seems this is the easiest way. All we have to do is catch some of these wanted man and cha-ching we will be rich."
Hinata didn't really share Naruto's enthusiasm but she still smiled nonetheless. If it made Naruto happy, it made her happy too.
"But the thing is I had to spend almost all the money we had to buy this. So, for now we are broke."
"T-t-then how are we paying for the rooms?"
"That's the beauty of being broke. We ain't paying anything."
With that said Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand again and jumped from the window.
"Ruuunnnnn." Naruto screamed out.
Having no other option Hinata did just that. She ran.
# Half hour later:
Naruto and Hinata were walking through a forest now.
"The land of fire sure has a lot of forests. I think land of trees would be better suited than land of fire."
Hinata giggled and walked happily beside Naruto while Naruto kept on trying to do the Rasengan with one hand.
"D-d-do you want me to block your chakra points again, Naruto-kun?"
"Nah, I think I almost have it."
Suddenly Hinata stopped walking but Naruto was so preoccupied with the Rasengan that he didn't even notice.
"Naruto-kun watch out."
Before Naruto could respond to Hinata's warning he hit someone and fell onto his back.
"Hey, watch where you are standing."
Naruto looked up and saw a man in his fifties wearing a white kimono with eyes just like Hinata.
"Hey, I know you. You are Hinata's dad aren't you?"
Hiashi completely ignored Naruto and started walking towards Hinata.
"T-t-tou-san, what are you doing here?"
"I am here to take you back with me, stupid child." Hiashi replied stoically.
"Hey, is that how you talk to your daughter?"
"This has nothing to do with you, Naruto." Hiashi said with a hint of malice in his voice.
"Oh! It has everything to do with me. She's my friend you know."
"Heh. She doesn't need friends. They will only make her weak and she's weak enough as it is."
"Take that back she isn't weak."
"I am in no mood to bicker with a spoiled brat. And for your information what I say to my daughter is none of your business."
Hiashi looked at Hinata and dared her to say anything,"Come on ,Hinata let's go."
Not giving Hinata an opportunity to say anything Hiashi grabbed her hand and started walking away until he felt someone pulling Hinata from the other side.
"It seems to me that Hinata doesn't want to go."
"She has no want of her own. She wants what I want."
"I can't agree to that."
Naruto looked at Hinata reassuringly," Don't worry I got you."
With a sharp pull Naruto broke Hiashi's hold on Hinata and pulled her to his side.
"She stays with me and if you want her to come with you, you will have to go through me first."
"I wanted to avoid fighting if I could. But looks like I have no choice. Hana-san go back before me. Looks like I will be here a while."
"Roger that." Hana's voice came from the trees.
"Taijuu kage bunshin no jutsu"
An uncountable number of clones appeared all around the forest.
"Attack" Naruto screamed out and all the clones jumped into action.
"Eight trigrams palms heavenly spin"
Hiashi started spinning and a dome of violent chakra formed around him. All the clones who came into contact with it vanished in a puff of smoke.
The smoke created from all the vanished clones made a smokescreen. Whet it cleared Hiashi couldn't see Naruto anywhere while Hinata was standing to the side.
"Byakugan"
Hiashi started to search for Naruto with his eyes when something caught his attention. Hinata's chakra structure wasn't normal. At that moment Hinata suddenly shot a haymaker punch towards Hiashi's face. But it was too slow. Hiashi dodged it easily and slammed an open palm into Hinata's stomach.'Pooof' the clone vanished.
"You can't hide from me." Hiashi called out.
Suddenly two hands came from beneath the ground and grabbed onto Hiashi's legs.
"You think I didn't see you there?"
With slight effort Hiashi released chakra from his legs,effectively vanishing the clone underneath. Another Naruto was now making a straight run for Hiashi. Obviously the plan was to hit him when his legs were bound but that was a failure.
"You won't even be able to touch me." Hiashi said and slammed a palm in Naruto's stomach.
But this one didn't go poof. Before Hiashi could act on it however Naruto hit Hiashi with a uppercut that sent him flying.
"How's that old man?" Naruto said grinning. But Naruto wasn't done yet. Four other Naruto's jumped from the trees and made to axe-kick him in the air.
"Eight trigrams palms heavenly spin"
Even in the air Hiashi spined like a top and dismantled the four clones.
"Damn it."
Who knew Hiashi could use that in the air. Having effectively beaten Naruto's strategy Hiashi landed on the ground gracefully.
"It's time to finish this. Eight trigrams one hundred and twenty eight palms."
With inhumane speed Hiashi closed the distance between him and Naruto and started hitting his chakra points.
"1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128."
With a finishing palm strike Naruto was blown away and fell to the ground.
"It's over." Hiashi said daring Naruto to get up again.
"N-n-naruto-kun-kun."
Hinata came out of the trees and knelt behind Naruto's fallen body.
"Huh, there's no way something so weak could hurt me." Naruto tried to put up a brave face again.Steadily Naruto started to get up.
"No Naruto-kun stop." Hinata screamed.
"Let me do this, Hinata. I have to prove that I can protect you."
"Even if you stand what can you do? All your chakra points have been sealed already." Hiashi said.
"You think something like this can stop me?"
Putting out his right hand Naruto started to gather chakra in it but nothing came out.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, come on already." Naruto screamed and forced his chakra points to open.
"Impossible. He actually re-opened the points in his right hand by force." Hiashi was taken aback by this sudden development.
"Rasengan" Naruto finally had a complete rasengan in his hand and it didn't fall apart after one minute either.
"You are going down." Naruto screamed while running forward with the Rasengan in hand.
Even though Hiashi was surprised it wasn't enough to completely render him immobile.
"Too slow," Hiashi said as he dodged the attack easily and hit Naruto's wrist with two of his fingers.
The Rasengan disappeared and Naruto fell to the ground having reached his limit.
"Damn ittttt."Naruto screamed in vain. There was no way he could move anymore.
"I told you that you didn't have a chance. Now,Hinata let's go."
However Hiashi was stopped in his tracks when he heard the sound of clapping behind him.
"Here I thought I would be able to enjoy myself after a long time. But I never thought we would be handed the nine tails in a platter like this. There goes my day but maybe you can entertain me old man." Kisame said with his trademark shark like grin.
"Take care of things here. I will be back in a while." Itachi's voice came from behind.
"Sure, partner. Take all the time you need."
With that Itachi was gone in a swirl.
"Hoshikage Kiasme, what are you doing here?"
"Oh! I am just here for the boy but seeing as how he's already down. Let's see if you can entertain me." Kisame said licking his lips.
'This day might just be fun yet.' Kisame thought to himself.
