Journey to the Dawn
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any characters associated with it.
Chapter 4: Doctor who . . . .
Hinata looked around confused at what she saw. "How did we get here? One moment we were standing on the countryside then the next . . . ." The pale girl took a glance around. "We're in a marketplace?"
"Looks like it" said the blond. "As for how we got here" pulling back out his pocket watch. "The seal inside it allows the user the transport to any place in the world given if there is a way point there".
"Way point?"
Naruto nodded, "Well truth be told my parents already went on this journey and along the way they left behind these seals" pointing to one inscribed on the wall. "To if they ever wished to return there".
"But was there a reason why you chose to come to India first?"
"Actually . . . . I have no control over where we go . . . . ".
"Ehh?"
"The thing is whenever I'm ready to leave I just walk around until I receive reception from another way point. When the connection is good I just go there".
"But what if you get sent somewhere dangerous?"
"Hmm . . . . I would at least like to think my folks wouldn't go somewhere that dangerous . . . . I hope?"
Hinata gave a strained chuckle to the uncertain confidence.
"Well anyways rule number one when going to different countries is to fit in. Which is why" grabbing the pale girl's hand leading her to a certain store. "We have to dress as the natives".
"I don't think this is a good idea and I don't have any money".
"Don't worry, I have it covered".
The pale girl looked to him with scrutinizing eyes. "You're not using the gold you took are you?"
Naruto flinched at the accusation. "He won't mind . . . . will he?"
Hinata sighed as she ended up going along with it.
It became apparent that they entered a clothing store to which there were many designs for both men and women to wear.
The pair walked up to the clerk as Naruto began talking to him in a language that was foreign to her.
Hinata frowned as she had no inkling of an idea of what they were saying. If this were the case it would be troublesome to be venturing around if she had no method to communicate with anyone.
She then began to form a few seals before tapping her forehead.
"Yes it's that way" as the clerk pointed in a certain direction.
"Thank you" replied Naruto.
"Translation jutsu successful" inwardly smiled the Hyuga girl. "Naruto-kun, what was that way?"
"Oh, you understood that". "It must be nice to have such a convenient technique" he thought. "I was just asking about the cloths selection. Men's are this way and the women's are that way" pointing in their respective positions. "Well let's go chose something".
On that notion the pair started to browse through the selection. In a short amount of time Naruto reemerged in his new outfit which was to no surprise being mostly orange.
"Oye! Hinata are you almost done yet?"
No response came back.
"Hinata? Are you still there?"
Still no response came back.
"Alright if no one is in there I coming in".
"No! Don't!" Hinata panicked. "I'm still not ready yet".
"Ehh? What's taking so long?"
"Well . . . . " as she trailed off. "These cloths . . . . "
"What about them?"
" . . . . they don't fit me properly . . . . "
"What's that suppose to mean?"
" . . . ."
"Alright alright it's fine if you need more time. I was going to take a look around anyways".
"I'm sorry, and thank you for your patience".
Naruto turned towards the clerk as he paid for both their outfits. "I guess I'll be back in a half-hour".
The blond youth ventured around the marketplace and did indeed behold many interesting things ranging from exotic animals to interesting food. At a few stops he sampled some spices and fruits and was amazed at some of their tastes. After some browsing a peculiar book caught his attention to which he decided to purchase it as he then continued his walk.
But as he got further along he saw as a rather old man was thrown out a door with a burly man standing at its frame.
"And stay out you old drunk". The man turned about as he walked back into the building.
Naruto looked down to the elderly man as he kneeled to pick him up. "Are you OK sir?" But after getting a good look at his face. "Oh, it's only ero-sannin" before dropping him back down again.
"Oww! Is that anyways to treat your grandfather? You ungrateful brat!" said Jiraiya as he got up looking completely sobered.
"So what are you doing here grandpa? Is it because you were getting into too much trouble with the local authority? I told you to stop peeping on the local hot springs".
"I kind of got tired of Japan and decided to travel for a while. I needed the inspiration for my work".
"That pervert book?"
Jiraiya gave off a perverted grin. "You wouldn't believe how rich the material is around here. I can't wait to get started on it".
Naruto sighed, "Well whatever".
"Anyways I'm also here on another point of business". The albino haired man pulled out a slip of paper. "There was a British noble woman I needed to go see. But truth be told I am scared shitless to talk to her again. So if you don't mind . . . . "
"Fine, I'll do it" Naruto sighed again. "So what is it you need from her?"
"She has a special document I need to look into. Just give her the paper and she'll know what it is".
"So why does she scare you?"
"Well . . . . I kind of made a pass at her and she ended up busting up three of my ribs".
"Most likely deserved it". "Anyways I have to get back now, there is someone waiting for me".
Jiraiya's eyes began to twinkle. "It's a girl isn't it? You've got to show your gramps who she is. Is she a looker? What is her hair color? What are her three sizes?"
"It isn't like that" Naruto interjected. "She's just traveling with me for a while until she can find her legs".
"Really" said Jiraiya in an exaggerated tone.
"Plus I don't want her to see you".
"Why? Embarrassed to show your girlfriend to your dear old grandpa who took care of you ever since you were a child. Perhaps you wanted to get some alone make out time" as the perverted man began mimicking with an imaginary woman.
"It isn't like that!" Naruto blushed. After calming down a bit, "She's . . . . a Hyuga ninja sent to kill me".
Jiraiya immediately became serious as he stood before the blond. "Is it because of 'that'?"
Naruto shook his head. "No, the daimyo that sent them were threatened by my ronin swordsman status". The blond then glared at the sage. "Because of your idea of making me a swordsman I cannot tell you how many assassins were sent to get me".
"I told you not to show off too much!"
"It couldn't be helped! There were people in trouble!"
Jiraiya sighed at the typical response. "Anyways what are you going to do with your current assassin? And why did you bring her all the way out here?"
Naruto then looked off to the distance as he contemplated the question. "I'm not really sure myself. But I do know she's a good person. So I guessed I was just going to take her away from that life".
"I hope you know what you are doing".
"Me too".
". . . . So can I see her? I bet she's really hot stuff to look at. All female assassins are usually great to look at".
"You can't! you're a ninja too remember. She'll recognize you immediately and that's when things will start to get too complicated".
"Hmm, good point" said Jiraiya. "Anyways I better get going now. You can hold onto the documents until we meet again. I'll be seeing you later, alright kiddo".
Naruto smiled. "See you around gramps".
The blond youth eventually returned to the store to see the clerk in an anxious state.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Your friend appears to be having issues with some of the cloths she was given. Unfortunately we only had one thing in her size, but now she is refusing to come out".
"What did you give her?"
"The only outfit that would fit her proportions".
Naruto waved this off as he stood in front of the woman's dressing area. "Hinata is everything alright?"
"No" the Hyuga girl squeaked out. "This outfit is too embarrassing. Can't I just wear my normal cloths?"
"Hinata, we've talked about this. We don't want to attract too much attention. So in order to reduce that we have to blend in with the crowd".
" . . . . my outfit will definitely attract attention . . . . "
"It can't be that bad. Just come out already".
"You promise you won't laugh . . . ."
"Yes, I promise".
As the curtains were pulled aside Naruto's eyes felt like they were going to shoot out of his skull with his heart stopping in the process.
Hinata began to cave her body in from the looks she was getting from the blond. "It's weird isn't it? This belly dancers outfit was all they had that could fit me".
"No no!" exclaimed Naruto. "You look really cute in it. I swear".
"Ehh" Hinata blushed as she caved in more.
The blond quickly looked around until he saw a cloak to which he wrapped around the brunette. "There, is that better?"
"Yes" she whispered as she was still red from moments ago.
"Anyways I've just met up with someone who asked me to do a favor for him. So if it's OK with you, do you mind if we hold off on sightseeing for now?"
"OK . . . ."
~ The Bazaar ~
Naruto followed the instructions handed to him by Jiraiya as he went to the area where this British noble woman lived. From asking around, it seemed she was the doctor of the area and a very old one being approximately around sixty years old. But aside from that, she was infamously known for her excessive drinking and gambling. "Funny, it seems like gramps would get along with her just fine".
After wondering around for a bit they encountered what seemed like a miniature palace. "Wow . . . ."
He then knocked on the door to which a moment later a short black haired woman answered holding a pig in her arms. "I'm sorry, but right now Tsunade-sama will not be seeing any patients for a while. Please come back at another time".
"I'm sure she'll understand if she looks at this". Naruto handed the woman Jiraiya's note.
"I see, I'll be back". A moment later, "She'll see you now".
Naruto and Hinata came in as the woman guided them through the halls. Eventually they arrived to what appeared to be a very luxurious bedroom with the full décor of fountains, drapes, and plenty of man servants. The center of attention was a woman who clearly didn't look like she was in her sixties as she was decorated in many fine clothing and jewelry.
"So that old fart sent a kid this time huh. Pretty pathetic if you ask me".
"Tsunade-sama, would you like me to prepare some tea".
"There is no need Shizune, they'll be going soon".
"You're Tsunade? I thought you would be like an old crone or something" said Naruto.
"Naruto-kun! That's very rude to say" then said Hinata.
"Why? It just from what we heard and there is nothing wrong about telling the truth".
"But you shouldn't say it. There are three things a boy must never ask a girl. Her sizes, her age, or her appearance".
"I don't see why that should . . . . Owww!" At that moment a large book flew at him knocking the blond over the head.
"So not only does the old fart send a kid but a rude brat too".
"That was uncalled for!" But he immediately feel silent at feeling the elder woman's killing intent. "Sorry . . . ."
Tsunade let out a breath. "I have no intentions of giving that document to anyone so I don't see why I should give it to him".
"But he really wanted it. What do I have to do to get it?"
A gleam then appeared in her eye as she stood up. "How about we make a bet?"
"I . . . . I can't. Gramps always told me never to gamble".
"What? Are you scared?"
"No way! I'm not scared of some stupid bet".
"Good, then you wouldn't mind if I held onto this for collateral". Tsunade smirked as she held a necklace with an unusual green stone shard on it.
"When did you take that!"
"Do we have a deal or not?"
Naruto grunted before conceding. "What do I have to do?"
Tsunade gave off a grin. "It's rather simple. All you have to do is retrieve some of my research documents that were stolen".
"And how am I supposed to do that?"
"Oh, don't worry I know where it is. I just haven't gotten around to doing it myself. You see the people who stole my work is a local gang around these parts. They're rather notorious for their torture methods and they don't ever show mercy. So if you get caught your life expectancy averages around a week seeing as those punks are some really nasty sadistic bastards. Are you still brave enough to do it?"
"I'm going to make you eat your words. So where is this place?"
The old doctor's eye twitched at his insolence. "It quite noticeable. Just look for an extremely flamboyant bar. You can't miss it".
"I'll have it back here by tonight". With that Naruto ran off.
"Naruto-kun wait for me!".
As Tsunade watched them go she closed her eyes while letting out a large sigh. "Everyone may leave now. Shizune you can stay".
The man servants soon began to filter out. Finally when they all left, the older blond went back to her cushion as she took a seat.
"I know you're there. You can come out now".
"I still can't fool you. Probably after all those years of peeping you ended up gaining a sixth sense about my presence". Jiraiya soon walked into view as he was not too long ago hiding behind a pillar.
"Jiraiya-sama, would you like some tea?" asked Shizune.
"Yeah sure" as he took a seat in front of the blond doctor.
After her apprentice left the older woman looked back at her guest. "That was pretty underhanded of you to send that brat to my door step".
"Well I kind of figured it would be the best way to get your attention. Besides you weren't going to give me the documents to safe hold anyways. So I figured he would be able to convince you".
"Hmm, well I never thought I would see this again". She held up the unusual necklace as it gleamed in the sunlight. "How many years has it been since those 'two' came through here?"
"Quite a few actually. My how time flies".
"Yeah".
"Are you sure they'll be OK? You sent them to one of the most dangerous cults in India. If they get caught then they'll surely be dead by tomorrow".
"If that brat is anything like his parents he'll be fine".
~ The Bar ~
"Why can't we go in?" exclaimed Naruto. "We're paying customers".
"Nope" said the bouncer. "The only way you're getting in is if you're a member" pointing to some gang people. "Or you're the entertainment" pointing to some dancers.
"Fine then" as the pair walked away.
"Naruto-kun, what are we going to do? If you can't get in then you'll lose the bet and you're going to lose your precious necklace".
"Already got it covered". In a puff of smoke the blonds' appearance changed to resemble that of a gang member.
"Do you want me to change as well?" as she put her hands up into a seal.
"Actually I need your help with something else".
"With what?"
Naruto retrieved a book from his seal as he handed it to the Hyuga girl.
Hinata looked down to see the title. "Kama . . . . Sutra . . . . ?"
"I'm sorry for asking this of you, but I need you to create a distraction while I make my way to the back. That book seems to have dance moves in them so I think it should help".
The pale girl opened the book to a random page which caused her to immediately blush. "Naruto-kun, . . . . I don't think that is what this is".
"What are you talking about?" He took the book back opening a different page. "Yeah here it is. See dance moves".
Hinata reexamined the content to see exactly what he was talking about. She the blushed again at reading some of the material. "The art of seduction through the play of dance". "I don't think I can do this".
"Don't worry, as soon as you start I'll be in and out before you know it" Naruto smiled. "I'll go in first so learn what you can and start as soon as possible".
"But Naruto-kun!" It was too late as the boy had already entered the bar leaving the distressed girl in a state of shock. "How did this happen . . . . "
Back in her village it was one of the required courses for kunoichi's to learn how to seduce their target before killing them. Although she was aware of the practice it was one of the courses she was horrible at seeing as this was something that went against her normal principles.
"But if I don't do it he'll be killed in there and it'll be my fault". Resolve then appeared in her eyes as she flipped open a few pages and began to study quickly. "I hope I won't pass out before then".
Naruto looked back and forth as he examined all the patrons. On sight he immediately recognized some of the heavy hitters along with whom the boss was. He then took a seat at the bar as he waited for Hinata's grand appearance.
"It'll be problematic if I get found out. I better set out an escape route".
Just as he was about to plant charges onto the bar a roar of music began to play in the background.
"For all the gentleman in the audience, here for your viewing pleasure, the dancers!".
At that announcement several woman filtered onto the stage for the opening act of their performance. Many men cheered and whistled at what they saw.
"I guess she couldn't do it. But this looks like a good time as any to sneak to the back".
As if to contradict his statement, "Now for the center piece of our show, the lavender flower of the east!"
On that entrance, Hinata was spun onto center stage as the audience began to cheer and whistle more loudly.
"Wow . . . . " Naruto couldn't believe that the shy Hyuga actually gained enough courage to be put on center stage let alone let herself be seen in such a revealing outfit.
~ flashback ~
Hinata began to blush furiously at studying the contents of the book. "I'm not sure if I can do this anymore".
"Are you the replacement girl?"
"Ehh?" Hinata turned around to see a strange man standing behind her. "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course I am. Our main performer couldn't make it so that's why we called you in as the replacement".
"I think you might . . . ."
"Who am I kidding you have to be her" interjected the strange man. "Lavender appearance, exotic features, and the fact you're right outside the club you have to be her". The man grasped her arm as he dragged her inside.
"No, I really think you might . . . ."
"Alright everyone the center piece has arrived so everyone take your positions. The show is about to begin!" He then turned towards Hinata as he pushed her along the backstage. "Alright you've got the letter talking about the routine and coordination with the other dancers. So just do what you do and you'll be fine. Just remember everyone in the audience is expecting a show. So don't put your reputation to waste".
"Wait, I really think you should . . . ."
"You're up now! Now go!" as he pulled on her cloak sending the confused Hyuga spinning onto the stage.
~ End flashback ~
Hinata stood frozen on stage and she shook nervously from all the attention.
"Hey what are you doing? Get dancing!" whispered the announcer.
However she still stood frozen to which the audience were becoming restless.
"What the hell is this?"
"We came for a show!"
"Start dancing or we're going to kill you!"
The bantering only added to Hinata's inability to perform as she found it harder to move.
"You'll do fine, just relax!"
The pale girl turned to see Naruto smiling at her as he always did. As their eyes locked it almost felt like they were the only two people in the room.
"You'll do alright" smiled Naruto.
As if by some mysterious force she felt an unusual calm as her body began to mimic the images she remembered in the book. Little by little her body began to move more actively in accordance to what she learned.
Now back in the real world . . . .
"That's more like it!"
"Shake it!"
"Yeah!"
Naruto grinned at how great Hinata was doing after calming down a bit. "Pretty awesome for only a few minutes of studying. As much as I would like to stay and watch I better go find those documents or Hinata-chan will get angry at me for taking so long".
At the first chance he got the blond youth slipped into the back.
Meanwhile Hinata was still lost in her own world as she continued to dance. Of course she couldn't absorb everything from the book. So she did her best in using things from her own native land to fill in the gaps. Call her crazy, but she was having a good time dancing on the stage if you subtract all the provocative comments that were being shouted out.
"Alright looks clear". Naruto quickly raced down the hall examining every room along the way. Thank god that no one was in due to the performance outside.
After a few examinations he finally found what looked like an office. Naruto quickly got inside as he went through anything that could hold paper. After opening one of the cabinets he found a safe stored up in one of them.
"If that doesn't scream 'open me' that I don't know what does". He then got to work trying to crack the device as he leaned in to listen for the clicks in the lock. Courtesy of his gramps training, cracking safes were as easy as cracking eggs.
A click sound was heard as the safe popped open. "Alright".
In looking inside, his face was met with shock. "It's . . . . empty".
"Who are you?"
Naruto looked back to see two men enter and looking quite angry.
"Looks like I'm not getting out without a fight".
Back on stage Hinata had just finished her performance as everyone in the audience cheered for an encore.
The pale girl blushed as she took a bow.
But the cheers immediately came to an end when a man went flying through a door crashing into several tables along the way.
"Intruder!"
"Get him!"
Naruto emerged from the ruined door as groups of opponents began to stack themselves in front of him. "Anyway we can make this a fair fight?" he chuckled.
"Kill him!" as every man in the audience dog piled onto the blond. After clearing themselves from the area they discovered they had attacked one of their own. "What the hell?"
Hinata watched from stage curious to where her blond companion went. A moment later a gang member grabbed her by the arm as he dragged her away from the stage.
"We have to get going. I'm not sure how long my diversion will last".
"Naruto-kun?" asked Hinata.
The gang member gave a wink in confirmation to which the pale girl started to move more willingly with him.
They finally found the back door, but it was not only securely locked but guarded as well.
"We have to turn back". However that too was unfeasible as the boss along with all his henchmen appeared to bar their path.
"I know you aren't one of us. So who are you?" asked the enormous man.
Naruto saw no point in keeping up disguises as he transformed back. "A delivery boy who is being accompanied by his exotic dancer friend". Hinata blushed at the comment.
"I see, another fool who was after this". The leader pulled out a scroll from his vest. "So that old hag sent a brat to retrieve it besides paying the amount we asked for. I'll make sure to send both of your corpses back to her after we're finished with you".
The blond chuckled as he eyed the parchment. "Well that saves me the trouble in looking for it". He then formed a cross seal as fifty Naruto's appeared into existence.
"What is that?"
"Just get him!"
Fighting immediately broke out between the two groups.
As expected the Naruto-clones were simply too much for the opposition.
"Why isn't he fighting?" thought the original.
The boss stood their calmly as he watched all his men get pummeled. In a matter of a few minutes it was only him versus all of them.
"Give up the scroll".
"Or you're going to be in for a major butt kicking".
"You heard the man" said the original Naruto. "Give up the documents or you're going to be in for one heck of a headache tomorrow".
The boss laughed at his statement. "I'd love to see you try".
At that statement several clones charged in attacking the leader as all their attacks connected.
"What?"
In one mighty roar the enormous man flexed forcing all his clones to disappear. "A foolish attack from a foolish boy. Your techniques are quite familiar to our own. But here in India our skills revolve around the clarity of mind and concentration of energy". His skin then appeared to turn red as steam began to pour out. "Let us see if you can overcome my Pranayama. There has been no opponent that has ever injured me when I use my iron shirt ability".
Regardless of what he said Naruto charged in attacking and striking as hard as he could. But no matter what he did, his kicks and punches would harmlessly bounce off him as the enormous man would swing his arms knocking him away.
"I might have to use 'that technique' if I plan to beat whatever this is". Then out from the corner of his eye his brunette companion raced in as she struck multiple hits around his belly.
"That tickles more then it hurts" the man chuckled.
She then launched a hard palm strike into the man's stomach which forced him to back off. "I can see it. I can see how your chakra is flowing".
The man looked up to see the unusual eyes of the girl before looking back down to see a palm print over his normally color belly area. "Damn it, is this Varma Ati? Why would a practitioner like that be out here?"
"Varma Ati?"as Hinata kept her Jyuken stance.
"Looks like I can't take it easy anymore. I'll actually have to fight you all out".
Hinata's eyes widened at seeing how much chakra was streaming through him as his body began to grow larger.
She was then knocked out of her shock as the beastly man charged her. But because of his incredible size dodging wasn't too problematic. However striking his chakra points proved difficult as they were overwhelming in power.
Naruto jumped in as well to assist and together with Hinata they began to show progress in slowing their opponent down. But it was far too soon to be doing any celebrating.
"Ahh!" Naruto yelped as he felt the full impact of his opponents punch sending him into a wall.
"Naruto-kun!" yelled Hinata. Due to her distraction she was caught by the neck as she was lifted off the ground. The pale girl attempted to strike his arms, but her arms were immediately captured by his other hand.
"You've caused me quite a bit of trouble. I'll be more than happy to break both of your hands for what you did to me". He then applied pressure to which Hinata began to cringe in pain.
"Hinata!" exclaimed Naruto. As he called out to her a blur dashed by him which surprised the blond to who it was.
"I think that's enough".
The pale girl found herself released from her captors hold as the man was sent flying several feet away.
Naruto eventually got up and stood behind their savior. "What are you doing here granny? It isn't night yet".
"I got tired of waiting and decided to take a walk" said Tsunade.
Some distance away the man appeared to be getting up and he looked quite angrily at who hurt him.
The elder blond looked on as a weird blue glow began to surround her fist. "You kids did good in making it this far but I'll take care of the rest".
"But what about our bet?"
Tsunade sighed, "I'll call it my loss". She then advanced forward as the beastly man approached as well. "Disabling his chakra points in order to strike him directly was a good idea. But another way to attack . . . ."
The enormous man launched his punch once he was in distance to which the old doctor easily blocked. "Is by striking with a force greater then what they can handle" as she threw her own punch which sent the man flying probably half way across India.
"Scary . . . ."
~ Tsunade's Palace ~
"Stop complaining! It's your own damn fault for getting hit" as she was wrapping gauze tape around his waist.
"Your still a doctor! Isn't there such a thing as delicacy!" responded Naruto.
"Stop your whining!" Tsunade tightened the straps harder to make a point.
"Thank you for your treatment Tsunade-sama" said Hinata as she showed how nicely wrap her hands were.
"Well at least I have one grateful patient".
After medical treatment they all sat down with Shizune for a cup of tea.
"Tsunade-sama I have question, what is Varma Ati? The man we were fighting mentioned it and something about Pranayama".
The elder blond sipped her tea before answering. "It's a type of pressure point martial arts and system taught here in India. I'm assuming you're curious about why he mentioned it". Tsunade took a breath in as she exhaled. "As you travel the world you'll be surprised at how much you'll find along the way with things being quite familiar yet different. You see when I first came here from United Kingdom's". She raised her fist as is started to glow blue. "I honestly thought the idea of concentrating and condensing energy was something I created on my own. But after coming here I learned so much more about energy manipulation". She then got up to retrieve a book. "It's not just here, there is just so much more to learn in the world as different cultures have come up with similar theories yet different applications for them. You see, it would do you much good if you took the time to learn some of that culture as you went along".
Naruto rubbed the back of his head in slight irritation. "That's great and all, but I'm mostly on this trip to do some sightseeing".
Tsunade restrained herself from going off on him. "You have to understand that these are some turbulent times as the world is changing. So it's better to be ready by having more abilities at your disposal then not having anything when a situation demands it. You recall how you couldn't do much against that boss leader right?".
"Then what do you suggest Tsunade-sama?"
The elder blond displayed a grin as she pushed a book towards them. "You two are going to be my slaves for the next few weeks".
"Ehh? But why do we have to do that!"
Tsunade then retrieved a paper document and showed how many pieces it was in. "My research and the special document were one of the same. So I expect compensation for it".
Fear then struck the traveling pair as it was most likely damaged during their fight. Brooms and towels then materialized near them as Tsunade took another sip of her tea.
"I expect your full cooperation until I'm justly compensated, OK" Tsunade grinned evilly.
~ Someplace, Somewhere? ~
"I say we go this way!" Hanabi demanded as she pointed north.
"I do not believe that is the correct path. The villagers said that the people describing those looks went to the west. So I believe if we went west we will find Hinata-sama" calmly responded Neji.
"Hey! I'm the one calling the shots here and you're the doggy who decided to tag along remember".
Neji rolled his eyes (unknowingly to Hanabi) as he let out a sigh. "Whatever . . . . ". "I better get started on dinner then before it gets late".
The young Hyuga immediately turned blue as she then began to have a mad dash down the road. "Hinata-neechan! Where are you?"
To be Continued . . . .
~ Omake ~
Deep in the back corner of the bar a white haired man in a transformation watched in glee at the performance the Hyuga heiress was putting on.
Jiraiya chuckled at seeing how amazing Hinata was doing in her dance. "That brat sure has a really hot assassin tailing after him. Man, the wonders of youth".
He then chugged down his alcoholic beverage as he yelled out his call. "Yeah! Shake it baby!"
"You're being too loud".
Jiraiya turned to see the bouncer glaring at him. In the next moment he found himself hurled out the door as he was now eating dirt.
"This is so not fair" he grumbled.
Author's notes: That's the end of chapter four. I hope everyone had a good time with it. My only sadness is that I'm unable to express this story the way I want to because I'm such a lousy writer. Anyways I do hope everyone sticks around until the end whenever that is.
Rose Tiger – the mystery man will be known later. But an internet cookie for you if you can guess who it was.
DayDreaming0f y0u- I have something awesome planned for Hanabi. But that won't be shown till later. As for Hinata, she does have awareness for it but she is also naïve due to her constant sheltered existence. Ino will definitely show up, but later in the story.
Anyways I thank everyone for taking the time in reading this fic and further express my gratitude in reviewing it as well.
