The Love That Pain Can Bring

AN: Naruto met the five ninja who go from village to village looking to kidnap and rape women. Now their sights are set on Hinata. What will Naruto do? Will we find out what Jiraiya's special cargo was? Will I ever finish rewriting these chapters? These answers and many more await you in chapter four of 'The Love That Pain Can Bring!'


Chapter Four: The Confrontation

{Last Chapter}

After a long day of training, Naruto finally decided to call it a night. Naruto was about to head home when he saw something in the distance. Then, the something became a blur and disappeared, only to reappear ten feet in front of him, scaring the hell out of the Uzumaki.

Hokkyokuguma smiled. "Hey, that's the squirt we knocked out yesterday." Naruto's eyes widened in fear. He suddenly remembered what had happened last night. He showed up to his home only to find five people waiting for him. He hid in a bush but when he went to look back, they were gone. 'They must have knocked me out, that explains the bruise on my head from this morning!' At this point, the other four members surrounded Naruto. "You're the five ninja who snuck through our defenses! The ones who poisoned our alcohol supply! And you..." He pointed at Kurohyou. "...you're an S-rank missing ninja." Kurohyou gave a congratulatory clap. "Very smart, and I'm sure you know that I'm also a convicted rapist?" Naruto nodded while backing up slowly. "Over two hundred women, more than half under the age of sixteen." Taka smirked and said "Very good, maybe you can help us. You see, we're actually a group of ninja that go and kidnap women around the world. We sell most of them, but not before 'testing out the merchandise' ourselves. We could use help with our newest target." Naruto shuddered at the thought of someone in the Leaf being taken by these creeps. "Who's your target?"

"We are here for a Miss Hinata Hyuga."


Hokage's Tower

Tsunade was looking through the files on the patient with rapid bone deterioration that Shizune had brought in earlier. The patient had been experiencing pains for about a week before coming to the hospital. She had been on a mission in the Land of Wind when she came across a strange opponent. According to the blood tests done on her, she had been poisoned by her opponent when fighting with kunai. She killed her enemy yet his teammate carried him away so identifying the man was out of the question. The poison seemed to act like a termite to the patient's bone structure, slowly eating away from the inside out. Tsunade remembered having read of this condition at one point but she never had experience with it herself.

She was currently skimming through her third medical book when a gust of wind chilled the room. Tsunade looked up to see a young man with straight, black hair. "Genjutsu huh? You must have something important for me Jiraiya." Jiraiya chuckled before dispersing the genjutsu on himself. "I must be losing my touch if you can figure out who I am that quickly." "Well, you've used that persona on me before." Tsunade remembered back when she was younger. About twenty years ago to be exact...


Marty, You Gotta Come Back With Me...

Tsunade was out in the village one day when a handsome young man approached her. They chatted for a while, the black-haired man slowly wooing her. Before they could kiss though, something fell out of the man's bag. Tsunade picked it up, casually glancing at it. She was about to give it back when something caught her eye. 'Make-Out Paradise?' "NO, WAIT! GIVE THAT BACK!" Quickly skimming through it, her eyes caught that it was an erotic story. 'Her long, blonde hair flowing and her magnificent bosoms glowing in the moonlight...'

Off in the distance, Orochimaru chuckled as he watched on. "JIRAIYA, YOU PERVERT!" Never had Orochimaru seen such fear in his friend's eyes. 'She must've found that novel he's writing about her. How absolutely splendid.' He was glad for three reasons. One, he got to watch this hilarious spectacle. Two, Jiraiya wasn't able to kiss Tsunade so the Toad Sage owed him 25,000 ryo. And three, it wasn't him that was going to get hospitalized.


Back To The Future...

Jiraiya winced as the memory came back to him. "Right..." Tsunade decided to change the subject before it began. "What do you have for me Jiraiya? Does it have something to do with that bag?" Jiraiya snapped out of his train of thought. "It has everything to do with this bag." He placed the bag on a chair and released the genjutsu. As the smoke cleared, Tsunade's eyes grew wide as she realized what (or rather, who) it was. "Is that...?"

"It is. The only question...what do we do with him?"


Let's See How Naruto's Doing!

"Anyway, you seem to know our target so it'd be in your best interest to help us acquire said merchandise." Suzuki stated plainly, as if he was talking about buying some t-shirt, rather than kidnapping a girl to rape her. Naruto's anger started to rise. 'I can't let that happen to one of my friends.' "Like I would ever help someone like you!" Kurohyou looked at the kid questionably. "You do realize how strong we are right? Hokkyokuguma was a Chunin when he left his village. Taka and Suzuki both Jonin at a time. Me and Jakkaru here? We were Anbu level. You don't have many options available to you kid."

'I can't handle all five of them by myself. Maybe I can hold them off long enough for someone to come along.' "You won't get away with this, the Anbu will catch you!" Kurohyou laughed. "The Anbu will not come anytime soon. Remember when they all got drunk last night? The entire alcohol supply in the village is spiked. They can't detect our chakra. Now tell us where Miss Hyuga is."

"Why do you want her, out of all the girls!?" Hokkyokuguma gave Naruto HIS reason. "We want her because of her bloodline, she's very rich so when we're done we could sell her for a shit load of cash to the highest bidder, and because she's just the right age for our taste. She's a virgin and her body is pure which makes it better. And the way they cry and beg you to stop..." Naruto eyes turned into slits as he became a blur, rushing towards Hokkyokuguma. Had the man been ready, he could have easily dodged it, but as he was lost in though he got punched directly in the face by the blonde. When Polar Bear jumped back in pain, Naruto screamed while bearing fangs "DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY FRIENDS THAT WAY!"

Kurohyou laughed at his big attempt to act tough. "What are you going to do about it? You can't take on all five of us, even if we let you fight us one at a time." 'Damn, he's right.' thought Naruto as he unsuccessfully tried to think of a way out of this. Taka told Naruto the simple fact that he already knew. "Face it, you can't win. So, you can just step aside if you want to leave with all of your limbs. You're obviously not going to help us." Naruto looked at him and sarcastically stated "Ohhhh, I'm so scared of you. Come on 'Falcon', you know I'm just terrified by your name alone." Taka shrugged it off. "I guess you want to die."

As Taka crouched down and readied himself to attack, Hokkyokuguma stopped him. "No, let me handle this punk. I still owe him from that punch he gave me." Jakkaru was once leader of the group. Even though he passed the position on to Kurohyou, everyone still respected him greatly and when he spoke, they certainly listened. Knowing of Polar Bear's tendency to lose his temper, Jackal tried to reason with him. "Hokkyokuguma, don't just rush into this. He's the Hidden Leaf's jinchuriki. For a Genin, he's considerably strong with his own chakra, let alone when he calls upon the demon's chakra. Look at what he did with one punch. Just imagine how strong he would be with more of the Kyuubi's chakra. You're new in this group so we don't expect you to fight for us. You talk big and that arrogance will be your downfall." Hokkyokuguma turned to Jakkaru. "You guys have always doubted my skills, just because I only made it to Chunin level. I've become stronger since then. Now I'll show you why I am a B-rank ninja." At this, the other four members jumped out of the way.

The large man pulled out a silver-plated sword and filled it with chakra. The blade started to glow and ice began to surround it. Then, a burst of blue light surrounds the field. The former blade had transformed into a blade of solid, unmeltable ice (think Sub-Zero's Kori Blade from Mortal Kombat). With the ice illuminating the area, Naruto got his first good look at his opponent. The man was rather large but besides that, he possessed no other noticeable features. Short, brown hair, fair complexion, and brown eyes. Besides that he seemed to be your stereotypical brute. Even his ninja clothing was as Plain Jane as you could get, minus his Chunin flak jacket which was black as the night, leaving little doubt as to how he has avoided detection up to this point. Naruto closed his eyes and thought about the looks of disappointment, hate, and disgust everyone would give him if he lost and let Hinata get kidnapped and raped. How he'd lose everyone he cared about and be left alone again. He also thought about how innocent Hinata would lose all trust in Naruto and how messed up she would be if this happened, and that's assuming that she would make it out alive.

'I can't let that happen, EVER! I promised to PROTECT MY FRIENDS!' Naruto opened his eyes. "I WON'T LET YOU! You will have to kill me before I ever let that happen!" A full red chakra cloak formed around Naruto and a chakra tail bubbled up. Hokkyokuguma decided to take him up on that offer. "Ok, I will! This is gonna be fun. Ice Style: Dagger Flurry!" [1] He swung his sword in Naruto's direction, ice daggers firing from the sword at the boy, which Naruto dodged with ease. "You're gonna have to do better than that!" Hokkyokuguma gritted his teeth. "With pleasure you little brat! Ice Style: Frozen Slide!" [2] Freezing the ground in front of him, he threw his signature weapon to the ground at an angle, riding the sword towards Naruto. Naruto tried to evade, but Hokkyokuguma kept freezing the ground to slide towards Naruto. Eventually he got within range and, grabbing the hilt of his weapon, jumped at the blonde, swinging his blade as he did so. "TAKE THIS!" The brutish man yelled as his sword made contact, sending the Uzumaki flying at the ground.

'Damn, I need to get rid of that stupid sword!' "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The shadow clone got right to work creating a Rasengan, a bright blue swirling orb surrounded by bubbling red chakra. "You know, you keep fighting like this, you'll never defeat me. Guess it won't be too hard to capture that Hyuga girl." "You will NEVER get to do ANYTHING to Hinata!"


Hokage's Tower: Part II

Kakashi was walking up the stairs to go and meet Lady Tsunade. He was quite surprised when an Anbu member appeared at his home so late at night. "The Hokage has requested your presence immediately." the Raccoon-masked man said. Normally, Kakashi would have taken a casually stroll to the Hokage's Tower while reading one of his Make-Out books, but getting summoned at this late at night by an Anbu...he decided it was best not to keep Tsunade waiting. Walking in, he noticed the grim look on the Hokage's and Jiraiya's faces, the latter he wasn't expecting to see.

"You rang?"

Jiraiya, leaning up against the right wall, looked to his right for a few seconds. Giving a sigh, he stepped aside, giving Kakashi a view of a chair. But what really caught his eye was what was sitting on the chair. 'That hair, those clothes...' "It can't be!" The figure looked to be unconscious and seemed to have been in serious combat recently, with bruises, cuts, and various other markings.

"Kakashi, say hello to your rogue student...Sasuke Uchiha."


Back To Naruto!

"I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE HERE ALIVE YOU SICK ASSHOLE!" "I WILL DESTROY YOU WITH THE POWER OF ICE!" Naruto charged at Hokkyokuguma with a Kyuubi-charged Rasengan. Hokkyokuguma charged with his ice blade and boomed out "YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST ME!" The Rasengan and the ice blade connected and a huge explosion engulfed the area. Off in the distance, one person with pearly white eyes gazed upon the disturbance. One of the only people in the village not to drink, this person could feel the chakra spike clearly. The ninja decided to check the disturbance out.


AN: Cliffhanger Jutsu, the best kind of jutsu on FanFiction. I'd like to thank the viewers I've been receiving. You guys are the real MVPs. Hopefully all of you caught the two part, non-subtle "Back to the Future" reference in the story.

Also want to point out that apparently you can't have more than one exclamation sign or question mark at a time (nor can I have two spaces between paragraphs). A very slight annoyance, as I feel the story would look better, but not a huge deal.

Anyway, see ya folks next time!

[1] Ice Style: Dagger Flurry, a bunch of dagger-shaped ice flies at the enemy.

[2] Ice Style: Frozen Slide - Sort of similar to Sub Zero's (Mortal Kombat) Ice Slide move, except Polar Bear freezes the ground with his ice blade and rides on said ice slide with said blade acting as a sort of surfboard.
