The Guardian of the Leaf and the Hyuuga princess
Chapter 4
It has been about four months since team 8 became official and they have been doing many D-rank missions including gardening, catching Tora, babysitting, catching Tora, painting fences, catching Tora, cleaning out barns, and catching Tora. Apparently team 8 held the record for the time it took to catch Tora. The fastest time is now thirty minutes. (Holy shit that fast ;).
They had just finished catching Tora again and were headed to the mission room to complete the mission and file the report. They hoped to get a higher rank mission since they heard that team 7 had just gotten a C-rank mission the day before. They wouldn't demand a C-rank, but it would be nice to be done with the monotonous day to day tasks that academy students could complete.
They arrived at the mission hall and handed Tora to its owner. They all felt sorry for the cat but a mission is a mission. They then gave their report and were about to leave when the Hokage stopped them.
"Hold up, team 8. I have a special mission for you."
"Really, what kind of special mission?" Asked Kiba excitedly
"The kind of mission where your team goes and reinforces another team. You have a B-rank mission to go on. Now normally we would send a team of chunin or Jonin on a mission like this, unfortunately we don't have the resources to send a full team of Jonin or Chunin, and you are honestly the best genin team from this year. Your mission is to go and reinforce team 7 on their mission to wave. However, just know this, you do not take orders from the other sensei. You only take orders from your sensei and do not let the other genin get to you. I want you to leave as soon as you can. Good luck, and be careful."
"You heard the Hokage team, go get your gear and make sure you pack enough clothes. I get a feeling we are going to be in wave for a while. Meet at the gate in two hours. Dismissed."
As the team left the Hokage put his hand in his pocket and found a scroll that wasn't there before. He started reading it and by the end he had a very serious look on his face. The scroll said:
'Hokage-sama, I get a feeling the mission you just sent team 8 on is going to get even more difficult. If that is the case, the fox summon I have with Hinata may have to reveal his true nature. Currently Hinata just thinks it is a very smart fox, a lot like Akamaru. If this does happen I have made sure to tell him that he is to return in the shape of a human thanks to the kitsune shape shifting abilities. I will also be sending a couple of Shadow clones with the team a good distance away from them so they don't see them.
Sincerely,
The Guardian'
Minato was definitely going to need a drink tonight. 'maybe Kushina-chan will come with me this time.'
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Hyuuga compound there was another person who had received a similar scroll. Hiashi Hyuuga was happy that his daughter could finally go on a tougher mission but was still worried. His daughter was about to go on a B-rank possible A-rank mission. 'well, whoever this 'Guardian' guy is, I hope he is very strong. I don't want my daughter to die on her first mission outside of the village.' Hiashi paused in his thoughts for a bit. 'hmm, I bet Minato is going to go out for drinks tonight if he got a similar scroll. I hope he doesn't get too drunk, he is the hokage after all.' It was then that someone knocked on the door.
"Enter"
"Hello, Father. I have a mission that I must go on, so I won't be back for quite a bit."
"Very well, Hinata. Just be careful and don't get yourself hurt."
"Yes, Father."
'good luck, Hinata. Please be careful. But honestly, this is also a good thing. This way she is out of the village and away from the damn Hyuuga elders council.'
Two hours after team 8 left the mission office. At the main gate.
Kurenai, Shino, and Kiba were currently waiting for Hinata to arrive at the gate when they heard footsteps coming toward them. They looked to see who it was and saw that it was Hinata.
"Sorry I'm late, I had to talk to my father."
"No problem Hinata, let's just get moving with this mission."
And with that, they all took off at top speed to catch up to team 7.
When team 8 finally caught up to team 7 they found Sasuke barely holding of a water clone of Zabuza Momochi, Sakura frozen stiff in fear, Zaka Hanasho unconscious, and Kakashi stuck in a water prison by the real Zabuza.
"Shit, that's Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Bloody mist." Kurenai said in a hushed tone so they wouldn't be heard. However, after she said his nickname, a massive amount of killing intent flooded the area, but nobody could figure out who it was coming from. Nobody suspected that a cute little fox would be offended by someone calling himself a demon.
Team 8 then made a plan to rescue Kakashi and his team. Shino sent his bugs out to try and trap the real Zabuza and drain his chakra. Kiba and Akamaru went and took out the water clone that had just knocked out Sasuke. Hinata went to snap Sakura out of her frozen state. And Kurenai started preparing a genjutsu to incapacitate Zabuza.
With Zabuza
Zabuza didn't know what hit him. One moment, he was just watching some genin try to take out his water clone while he was holding Kakashi in a water prison. The next moment, he is surrounded by bugs that are quickly draining his chakra and his water clone is destroyed by what appears to be two of the same kid. Then he sees another team of Konoha ninja arrive. As his chakra was quickly draining he decided it was finally time to release Kakashi before he is completely out of chakra. Once he releases the jutsu he figures he has enough chakra for one more jutsu. However, he doesn't aim at Kakashi.
"Let's see if you can save these new ninja that just arrived, Kakashi."
After saying that he spots Hinata and decides that she is the perfect target. He goes through several hand signs.
"Water style: Water Dragon Jutsu"
However, things don't go as he expected because as the jutsu was headed for Hinata, Naruto saw it.
'shit, looks like I have to reveal that I'm not an ordinary fox earlier than expected. Oh well. Kitsune style: Kitsune Fire Stream" Naruto immediately took a deep breath and before the water dragon could hit Hinata, he spit out a massive bright blue and white flame that completely vaporized the dragon and kept going towards Zabuza only to stop just before it hit him. Meanwhile, Zabuza is wide eyed and practically shitting his pants when he sees this. Before he could do anything he was pinned up against a tree with a kunai in each arm and each leg. Kakashi was getting ready to kill him when two senbon came flying out of a tree and hit Zabuza in the back of the neck. Zabuza's eyes widen even more before they close completely and he slumps over. A mist village hunter nin then jumps out of the tree and thanks them for their help in getting the opening to kill Zabuza. The nin then grabs the body and Shunshins away before anybody can say anything. It is now that everyone turns to look at Naruto.
"Umm, Hinata, I don't think that is an ordinary fox." Said a very wide eyed Kurenai
"I think you may be right, but why show that he isn't an ordinary fox now, and why did he protect me?"
It was at this point that Naruto finally gave up on being an ordinary fox. "I'll answer all your questions when we get somewhere more private. Kakashi, you carry Sasuke and I'll carry Zaka. I don't really like the Uchiha clan and their Sharingan."
"Umm, ok."
And with that Kakashi picked up Sasuke, Naruto grew to the size of a small horse and carried Zaka. The two teams then followed Tazuna to his home.
