The next day, Hinata regained consciousness. She was in the bed in her room. A splitting headache pounded throughout her head, making her wince in pain.

"What happened to me?" she asked herself, groaning in pain. Then an image of the night before flashed into her mind. It was of her and Naruto embracing, and Naruto was whispering, "I love you Hinata" into her ear.

"That's right! Naruto told me that he loved me! And… I told him that I loved him too." She blushed a little as she said it. Then, the angry face of her father burst into her mind with another image of Naruto in pain. "Oh no. Naruto! Father attacked him! I have to find him! I have to know if he is okay!" She got up and ran for her door. She twisted to handle, only to discover that the door was bolted shut. "What's going on?" she thought. "Why am I locked in?" She ran to the window to find that I had been fitted with metal bars, thick enough to hold even the strongest Jonin in.

"Somebody let me out! I have to find Naruto. Please, let me out! PLEASE!" going back to the door, she pounded on it, hoping that somebody would here her. Little did she know there were two guards from the Hyuuga clan on the other side of the door listening to her. Hiashi Hyuuga was with them.

"Listen to me. You are to let no one into this room, and she is not to leave. Understood?" Hiashi was forceful with these orders, making sure that they would be understood.

"Yes sir," the two of them said in unison, bowing quickly and retaking their still positions. Hiashi left them at the door, going down the hall only to find Neji standing around the one corner. "What is it Neji?" Hiashi asked facing his nephew.

"Lord Hiashi, is all this really necessary? I mean, it is just Naruto sir." Neji faced the ground as he said this, but Hiashi heard him loud and clear.

"Yes it is Neji," Hiashi said with command in his voice. "I know very well that I didn't kill that boy, and I know very well that he will come after Hinata. All this is to stop him, and it shall if he comes here. Now get back to your place!"

Hiashi walked off, leaving Neji torn between two things: his duty to the Hiashi and the Hyuuga clan, and his duty to Hinata and his friends.


In the hospital was starting to come to. Suddenly his eyes burst open, and quickly sat up in the bed. "Hinata!" he shouted as sat up. He looked around to see that he was in an empty hospital room. The windows were open, and a cool morning breeze rolled in, the fresh air caressing his face.

"Hey guys, he's awake," a voice from the door said. Kakashi walked in, followed closely by Sakura and Sasuke.

"Jeez Naruto, how the hell did you end up in here?" Sakura asked as she took a seat by the bed.

"Yeah, you had us worried when we heard that you were in the hospital," Sasuke said.

"What, didn't Kakashi give you guys the details?" Naruto asked, looking from his teacher to his friends. They both shook their heads, showing that they knew absolutely nothing of what had happened. Naruto told them about what happened the night before, after he had left Sasuke standing on the roof. He told them how he had confessed his feelings to Hinata. Sakura squealed at this point, and Sasuke gave him a smile and thumbs up. Then he told them about how it was Hiashi Hyuuga, Hinata's dad, had attacked him.

"Why would he do that?" They both asked him, then Sakura asked, "Doesn't he wants his daughter's happiness?"

"Yes he does," Kakashi said. "However, he doesn't want that happiness to be because of Naruto."

"Why not?" Sakura asked. "What's wrong with Naruto?"

"I think I know what it is," Sasuke said looking to Kakashi. "It's because of the nine tailed fox, isn't it?"

"Yes," Kakashi said, confirming Sasuke's guess. "Hiashi doesn't want Hinata to be with Naruto because of the nine tailed fox that resides within Naruto. Because of it, he sees Naruto as a monster, making him a danger and unworthy of his daughter."

'Where is Hinata now?" Naruto asked suddenly, jumping from the bed. Kakashi stared at him in silenced. Naruto approached him, coming eye to eye with his teacher. "Where is she?"

For a moment it seemed like Kakashi wasn't going to answer him, but then he said, "She's at the Hyuuga estate. From what I could see, they are holding he in her room, with guards posted all around the estate. Hiashi is taking no chances. He doesn't want anyone to get in, and he definitely doesn't want Hinata to get out."

"Well then, let's go get her!" Naruto was angry now. He wanted to be with Hinata, no matter what.

"We can't," Kakashi said sternly. "She's at her home, and if we attack them, then we're the ones who will be doing wrong."

"Then you're saying we can't do anything!" Naruto grabbed Kakashi's vest and lifted him off the ground. "Is that what you're telling me!"

"That's enough," Kakashi said as he put Naruto in a strangle hold. "You're letting your emotions get the better of you. And a good ninja knows that letting that happen could be disastrous for himself and others. You need to calm down!" Naruto struggled for a minute, and then relaxed. Kakashi let him go.

"I'm sorry Kakashi. I need a little time to think." With that statement, he jumped out of the open window, and headed for the outskirts of the village. Sasuke and Sakura followed close behind, just barely keeping pace with him.

"Sometime that boy is hopeless," Kakashi said as he watched the three of them go.
Naruto reached the outskirts of the village in no time at all. He was by the river where he had first started his ninja training with Kakashi a few years before. Sasuke and Sakura arrived within seconds of Naruto.

"Oh, hey guys. Didn't know you followed me."

"Like hell you didn't," Sakura said to him. "You know very well that we did."

"She's right. You knew we were following, and you probably also knew that we would tell you that this is suicide. You can't take on a whole clan by yourself. You don't know enough jutsu."

"Which is why I have these," Naruto said, holding up a total of three scrolls.

"Where did you get those?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow. Suddenly, a thought dawned on him. "You stole them from Kakashi, didn't' you?" Naruto nodded. "Naruto, those still aren't enough! It's only three jutsu."

"Then get all of our friends together. I need to learn new jutsu, so why not start with theirs and yours." Naruto said. "All that I need to do is see them once, that's all. After that it's all a matter of practice." He said this and smiled.

Sasuke stood there and stared into Naruto's eyes for a minute. In that time, he realized Naruto didn't care if he lost his life. He also realized that if it had been the same case with him and Sakura, then he would have done the same thing that Naruto was about to do now.

"Sakura, go find Ino and the others," Sasuke said to her. She turned to him like she was going to protest, but she didn't. Instead she just nodded, and headed back towards the village. "Naruto, you know this is crazy, right?"

"Hey, what can I tell you? I'm in love," he said to his best friend with a grin.

"If that's the case, then I have chosen the correct side," a voice from one of the trees said. Neji stepped out from behind the nearest tree, arms folded across his chest.

"Neji? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the Hyuuga estate, protecting Hinata?" Naruto asked a little confused.

"I can't be a part of that," Neji said. "It's wrong to keep a girl from the one person she loves most in the world. So I'm here to help train you by fighting you. I am the best that either branch of my clan has to offer, next to Lord Hiashi. If you fight against me, then you shall know everything that you need to."

Naruto stared at him for a second before he said, "Thank you Neji." He shook Neji's hand and said, "All right then, let's get started!"


An entire day went by, and Hinata remained locked in her room. All the time, she thought of Naruto and whether or not he was all right.

"Naruto," she thought with tears in her eyes. She had been up all night sitting on her bed, thinking of her love. "Are you okay? The tears welled up in her eyes even more. She curled up into a ball, burying her face in her knees. Outside of her door, the two guards could her everything that was going on in the room. Apparently, it was starting to get to them.

"Why are we doing this?" The one guard asked the other. "It seems cruel to do this to her."

"It can't be helped," the second guard responded. "These are Lord Hiashi's orders, and they will be carried out, no matter what we say."

"Yes, but still, why would he do this to his own daughter?" The first guard asked.

"Well, from what I heard, it has to do with Naruto Uzumaki," the second guard.

"You mean the boy possessed by the nine tailed fox?" The first guard was even more curious now.

"That's the one. Apparently…" The guard didn't get to finish his sentence. A very loud boom had just come from the front gate of the estate. Many bells sounded, alerting the entire estate of oncoming danger.

"He's here," a guard shouted from the grounds in front of the Hyuuga's main house. "Everybody, take your positions and prepare for battle!" Many people headed for the grounds, where the estate's front gate now burned from the large explosion that had occurred. Naruto walked through the fire, not even getting singed by the flames.

"I don't know who you think you are," A Hyuuga soldier said. "However, I do know that you should back down now if you don't want to be killed."

"If you are saying that, then you really must not know me very well," Naruto said to him. "I don't ever back down." Using his thumb, he pointed at himself, and said, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I've come for the woman that I love."
