Four Years Later:
Naruto walks into the Hinata's room, rubbing his eyes. "Sissy, I had a bad dream," he whines. He looks at the Hyuga Heiress, but she is still asleep. Sighing, he climbs into her bed and cuddles up against her. He is about to fall back asleep when he spots a shadow.
"Clark!" Naruto shouts as he stands on the bed. "Clark!" The ninja curses under his breath and throws a kunai and the child. The blonde takes a step forward, slipping on the blanket and accidentally catching the kunai between his teeth. Grabbing into its handle tightly, Naruto shouts, "No playing with knives! Clark! Someone's hurting Sissy Hyuga!"
The ninja disappears through the opposite wall when a black blur zooms into the room and rams him. "Daddy!" Clark yells, the room shaking from the volume. "Sissy's in trouble!" The ninja leaps back at Clark, but the kunai is crunched against his thick skin. Clark glares at the ninja, catching his pants on fire. "Pants on fire."
The ninja quickly puts out the fire and tries to move but finds that his mobility is gone. "Very good, sons," Shikaku Nara growls. "We have him, right Daddy Hyuga?"
The Hyuga clan head stalks from the shadows and says, "That is correct. Release him momentarily, Daddy Nara." The shadow retracts and the ninja is immediately pummeled by the gentle fist of Hiashi. Hizashi walks through the hole in the wall and yanks off the severely weakened ninja's mask to reveal a cloud ninja.
"He tried to kidnap the Hyuga Heiress," Hizashi states as the Nara's shadow possession jutsu takes hold of the cloud ninja once more.
Clark's eyes glow a light red, "He tried to hurt sissy?" He grips the kunai tightly, his knuckles turning white. Shikaku slowly nods.
Naruto growls, "Nobody hurts my sissy! Daddy, let him go." Shikaku and Hiashi exchange glances but comply to the four year olds demands. A blur and a yell later, the cloud ninja lays on the ground holding both of his broken legs and a kunai in his shoulder, rendering one of his arms useless. Naruto and Clark give each other high fives and cross their arms, glaring at the ninja furiously. "Mess with sissy, and you mess with all of us!" they declare simultaneously. "Right, Daddy Hyuga? Daddy Nara?"
"Yes, sons, that is correct," states Hiashi. Using all the self control and restraint that he can, the Hyuga brushes his brother to the side and sends the would be kidnapper through the opposite wall with a kick to the head. Naruto and Clark clap and cheer. "What were you doing here, sons?" Hiashi inquires, turning to them.
Naruto looks at his feet and fidgets, "Well, daddy, I had a bad dream."
"And I heard Naruto calling!" says Clark quickly.
Shikaku tilts his head curiously, "But Clark was sleeping with Choji on the other side of the four districts. How could you hear Naruto's calling? We were a building away, and we could barely hear him."
Clark shrugs sheepishly, "I have good ears?"
"So it would seem. How did you get here so fast?" mutters Hizashi.
Clark shrugs and smiles cheerfully, "I heard brother calling and came running! It was sort of hard to stop though." Hinata finally turns over and wakes up to find everyone in her room.
She stammers, "Um…why are all of you here?"
Hizashi bows respectfully, "It was nothing, Lady Hinata. Go back to sleep. I think Naruto and Clark should be allowed to spend the rest of the night with her. What do you think, brother?"
Hiashi nods, his byakugan blazing and searching for any other enemies. "Indeed, brother. Go to bed." With that, he stalks into the darkness. His brother follows him quickly, grabbing the half dead cloud by the collar and dragging him along to the Hokage tower.
Shikaku leans against the doorway just outside the building and closes his eyes. The Nara smirks as hears Naruto's and Clark's loud bragging about how they defeated the ninja that came to hurt her by themselves. He falls back asleep, his body still on full alert should anything come near him.
At the Hokage Tower:
The two cloud envoys stand in chakra binding cuffs before the Hokage. "What is the meaning of this, Hokage?" one demands furiously.
Hizashi storms into the room with his brother and throws their broken associate into the middle of the room. "What have you done to him?" yells the other envoy.
"I merely protected my daughter from his attempted kidnapping. In reality, two three year olds took him out," Hiashi deadpans.
Sarutobi frowns and stands to his feet, a squad of Anbu appearing next to him. "Take these men to Ibiki! Make sure that you learn everything that you can learn," he orders. The cloud ninja try to protest, but they vanish in three squirls of leaves. The secretary hurries in to clean up the leaves.
The ninja ignore her and Hizashi states, "Lord Hokage, Clark and Naruto were the ones to take out the ninja, truthfully. Naruto came to the Heiress' room because of a bad dream and Clark heard his yelling from the Akimichi compound. He ran there within a few seconds and punched the ninja through a wall."
Sarutobi lights his pipe and takes a relaxing puff of smoke. "Is that so?" he says amiably.
"It is," confirms Hiashi firmly.
Sarutobi sighs and looks at the two brothers, "Cloud is going to demand retribution."
"With all due respect, sir," Hiashi growls, sounding almost like an Inuzuka, "Cloud can shove it."
Sarutobi chuckles and lets out a full blown laugh. "Wow, I never expected such a response from you, Hiashi Hyuga."
"If anyone would dare to harm my family, they will suffer," he states icily.
"Indeed," Sarutobi agrees. "I think I will allow the kidnapper to tell Cloud about what happened. Who is going to believe that two three year olds took out one of their jonin?"
Hizashi smiles slightly, "That is true, Lord Hokage. I believe it would be wise to go back to the Hyuga compound and get some rest. Posting extra guards would also be prudent."
"You are dismissed to do as you see fit," the Hokage nods. The two brothers leave the room.
Hiashi whispers, "Do you think they will go after anyone else of our family?"
"No," Hizashi answers. "I think they learned their lesson for now. Anything else will meet with defeat."
Hiashi sighs, "Are you concerned about your son being kidnapped?"
"Not at all," Hizashi mutters. "He is going to have the cage bird seal within a few weeks.
Clark focuses on their voices, listening to their conversation. "Oh no!" he exclaims.
Naruto sits up in bed, "What is it, Clark?"
"They're going to put the green thing on cousin's forehead!" Clark frowns darkly.
He tilts his head alittle, "On Ino?"
"No!" he lightly bops the blonde on the head. "On Neji!"
Naruto's eyes narrow dangerously. "No, they're not."
"The stupid old men are going to make daddy do it," Clark explains. "He doesn't want to."
Naruto's frown turns to a mischievous grin. "Then we'll have to take care of the old men, won't we?"
Clark mirrors his brother's grin, "Mhm! They'll never see what hit'em!"
Hinata keeps her eyes closed and listens to their plans. She whispers, "I-I'll help." Naruto and Clark stare at her than grin even wider and keep going on about what they're going to do. The Hyuga in the surrounding rooms all listen attentively, trying to figure out ways to help the youngsters succeed in outsmarting the Hyuga elders.
