Hinata gets her groove back
This is the Kyuubi/ Shukaku talking
This is Naruto/ Gaara talking to their demons
This is regular talking
This is the character thinking
[- This is me talking -
Naruto's eyes bulged as he dodged another kick to the head. Lee looked like he was ready to knock Naruto's head off. A laugh found its way out of the blonde boy's throat as he blocked a third kick and aimed a punch at Rock Lee's stomach, suddenly, something growled deep within him.
Oi, pup! Someone's coming. And it's not one of your allies, either. There seem to be several of them…
Naruto put up a hand to stop Lee form attacking him and went to the Kyuubi's cage.
"What's up, fox? What's going on?" he asked the huge red fox in front of him.
I just told you, you silly pup. Enemies are coming. From the direction of the chakra, they're heading for the girls on your team.
Naruto stiffened the face of a pale girl with milky lavender eyes and a sharp tongue flashed into his head unexpectedly. He looked back where he had left the girls to spar and gasped. While they were fighting, they had unconsciously moved out of vision distance from Naruto and Lee. Rock Lee seemed to note that too and he looked slightly wary. "Lee, someone's going after the girls. Come on!" he yelled, shutting the fox out as he usually did and running to where he last saw them, Lee at his heels. In the depths of Naruto's body the Kyuubi chuckled.
My, my, my…Looks like little Naruto has his first precious person. The fox stopped chuckling and frowned, sighing. …So much like his father…I hope you're proud of him, Minato…
Naruto tore through the trees, an unexpected panic to him. 'I remember my and Gaara's bedroom…That big blue bed, those wonderful bathrooms, Gaara's hair in the mornings. Things were so much simpler then…' he thought warily. He froze in mid-step when he heard a scream and instinctively, his whisker marks got darker and the outsides of his eyes turned purple as red and blue mixed. Once again, that pale face flashed through his mind and he ran again, having to use some more power to catch up with Lee. When he did, Lee was standing on a small ledge staring down at the smaller valley below. Naruto joined him at his side and also froze, looking down at the valley. "Wow…"
Down in the valley, standing back-to-back, both looking beat up but with fierceness in their eyes any lioness would approve of, Hinata and Tenten stood. Surrounding the girls where about 12 ninja in black, some bending to help their bleeding and wounded comrades, that the girls clearly had their fun with, others looking ready to attack. Hinata, the look of a threatened tigress on her face, had a cut just above her eyebrow and her left arm was hanging limply at her side. Tenten, with the face of an outraged cat, had a cut on her jaw and cheekbone.
The ninja attacked and Naruto and Lee tensed but there was no need. Tenten opened her scroll and in a poof of smoke, two ninja had a spear in their hearts, one in his temple. Hinata was using her Gentle Fist, was beating the hell out of the ninja. "Holy hell…" Naruto whispered. Lee just blinked and started yelling "Go Ten-chan!! Fight with the power of Youth! Make Guy-sensei proud of his youthful flower! Pretend these Ninja are Neji-sama!" The ninja around Tenten seemed to fall faster as Lee switched his cheers to Hinata. "Go Hina-chan! Beat those ninja to a pulp! Your father and sister probably sent them to prove your weak! But you're not! Fight like a flaming flower of youth, like Ten-chan! Pretend they're you sister and you father!!" Hinata flashed with immense chakra and all the ninja around her flew back. Naruto glanced at Lee, surprised. "You sure know how to make someone strong…" Rock Lee just shook his head and looked fondly down at the girls, though a different, golden eyed one was in his head. "No, these girls were always powerful. They just needed something to trigger that power." Naruto looked back at the girls. Although Tenten was easily more impressive, it was the small girl that impressed him the most. Another chuckle rumbled from inside Naruto.
Heh. He likes her…
Though he'd never admit it, Gaara was having a good time. He, Neji, and Kina were all having a triple spar, all trying to get the others to fall. Something was nagging at his mind but he ignored it, trying to dodge Neji's hand and Kina's genjutsu while attacking both his teammates. Finally an immense surge of pain rocketed through his body, making him shake on his feet. Neji and Kina looked up, worried. Kina's eyes glowed with chakra, making them her genjutsu points, while Neji was in mid-attack of her belly. Gaara groaned and closed his eyes, going to the place his demon was sealed.
"What you damned demon?!"he roared at it, pissed at feeling pain
Silly kit…Can you not sense the enemy ninja surrounding us? Naruto-baka and his team are already fighting some of them. Now it's your turn.
Enemies? I can't sense any enemies…
Of course you can't. You're just as stupid as your brother. Trust me and get them! They're attacking now. Neji is barely holding his own!
Why is Neji fighting alone?
Because you're talking to me and Kina isn't a taijutsu user nor is she great at ninjutsu! Now go help them!!
The slightly tanned face surrounded by a wild mass of purple hair flew into his head as he thought of Kina.
Damn! Thanks you damned raccoon thing!!
The Shukaku smirked. Hey Kyuubi! Gaara got himself a precious person too. Heh…Good luck, kid.
Gaara was taken back to the real world and held back a gasp. Neji and his sand were the only things keeping Gaara and Kina alive. Neji was fighting wildly, like a cornered fox, ripping and beating at the attacking ninja. His hair came out of its band and was flying freely around him. [- Fan girls: -squeal- Neji-kun!! Marry me!! Me: STFU and read the damn story!! - While Neji was talking on about 6 ninja, poor Kina was taking down only 2. Gaara blinked once and threw his hand forward, angrily. His sand shot at 4 unsuspecting ninja, trying to get behind Kina, and trapped their entire bodies in the sand. Still angry he roared "Sand Coffin!!" There was a crack, several scream and bloodied sand made it way back to Gaara, the bodies nowhere in sight. Kina nodded her thanks to Gaara but gasped. Gaara turned around just in time to see a ninja jump at Neji's heart, as he was being held down by several other ninja. Gaara's eyes flashed black and gold and all the ninja fell dead to the ground. Panting he growled "No one…messes with my team…." Neji and Kina just stared with awed eyes at Gaara then, Neji being smarter than Kina, looked slightly frightened. "Wait, if ninja were attacking us, that means…oh no…Tenten!" Neji looked ready to find his teammate but Gaara stopped him with a smirk. "What about Rock Lee? Aren't you worried about him?" he asked that smirk plastered onto his face. Neji blushed slightly and looked away. "Um…she's probably okay…"
"Get out of him Ino…NOW!!" Shino yelled, his bugs attacking the ninja just as Ino released her jutsu. The last ninja fell to the ground as the bugs poisoned and killed them. Shino looked at Shikamaru and Ino in surprise. The three of them were really a good team. Shikamaru would posses them while, Ino took control of their minds and Shino killed them. He smiled. "Good. We were really good…" His smile grew bigger. While Ino was fixing herself up, wiping the blood off her forehead, Shikamaru was taking his black eyes off her. And when Shikamaru looked away to talk to Shino, Ino's blue eyes were locked on him. Shino smirked under his coat and picked up two bugs, a black and pink one and a blue and black one and he whispered "You two. Go to Shikamaru and Ino and stay. Show them why you are called Love Bugs…" He chuckled softly as the pink one landed on Shikamaru's neck and the blue on Ino's neck. As soon as they landed, Shikamaru and Ino made eye contact, and quickly looked away blushing. Shino had to hold back a laugh.
Luxuria pouted and put her hands on her hips. Sasuke, on the right of her, and Sakura on the left, too looked disappointed. "Well that wasn't very fun, was it? I was hoping I'd get a challenge" Luxuria sighed and picked up her bag, stepping over the dead ninja. "Come on, you two. We're to go ahead and look around." Sasuke and Sakura blinked and ran to catch up wit her. "Lust-san, you must teach me that move...um…what was it called? Healing Heart Breaker! That looked so awesome! You said it tore up the heart from the inside right? I'd love that!" Sakura talked eagerly, like an excited child. Sasuke shook his head. "No! Teach me that Shadow Head jutsu! It stabbed the brain into nothing right? That would be awesome!" Luxuria smiled sadly and looked ahead. "No. You should not take joy in taking another's life. And for those jutsu you need…something you two will never have…" she smiled big and hit them both. "But your moves were cool too. Sharingan and using healing as a weapon. I've never seen that before!" Her teammates smiled at her and started talking fast about their separate moves.
You can't get rid of me yet, Luxuria…not until you find someone who truly loves you. And I don't mean your brothers…
Okay readers, thanks for the review and favorites and everything. Yes, I know Yondaime's name is Minato, sorry for the mistake.
