The Dark Side of the Hyuuga
Chapter Four-The side you never knew
Me: Revenge is best served sweet…with a side of embarrassment.
Kisame: What do you mean by that?
Itachi: I think she means that something bad is going to happen to somebody in this chapter.
Me: Oh hey Itachi, so Sasuke went back to Madara, huh?
Itachi: (nods head)
Me: Okay, don't worry he will be back and you are right something bad will happen to somebody in the chapter.
Kisame: Who? (Glaring) You still not mad about what happened in chapter 3 are you?
Me: No, of course not. Now let's get on with the chapter.
Itachi and Kisame: (walks off)
Me: *evil smile* Better watch your back, Kisame. *Disappears*
As they entered the cave, they heard the sounds of footsteps growing louder and then fading as their pursers ran pass them. Stepping away from the cave's entrance, the four looked towards the back of the cave that was pitch-black without any source of light. The only thing that could be seen was a charm carved into the stone wall of the cave that seemed to give off a dim glow.
'That's must be what is protecting the cave from being seen.' Hinata thought as she tried to see anything ahead but darkness.
"You expect us to follow you in the dark?" Naruto said disbelief shown on his face as he looked up at Kisame. Giving Naruto an agitated look he cursed loudly feeling his way against the wall.
"I told him not to let the flame die out or I wouldn't be able to see anything when I got back." Kisame muttered trying not to trip over anything in the dark. After almost falling twice he gave up and came back to the cave opening. Smiling sheepishly he asked the trio if anyone of them knew a fire or lightning jutsu or something to light up the cave. Kurai just scoff at the S-ranked criminal as she held her hand out.
"Demon style: Cat Ghost Fire" she simply said as she gathered a small amount of chakra in her hand and created a bluish-purple flame right above her palm. Hinata and Naruto were intrigued by the flame and Kisame even manage to look impressed.
"Hey Gills, lead the way already" as Kurai made the flame bigger and lighting a small path in front of them.
Looking at Kurai who gave him the weird nickname, he just sighed and started walking ahead with Kurai beside him followed by Hinata and Naruto. Avoiding rocks as they went deeper into the cave, they finally reached the back, realizing the cave was a lot bigger than it looked from the entrance. Kisame stopped suddenly, followed by Kurai, Hinata, and Naruto who then noticed the outline of a body lying on a futon next to a dying fire, where only the embers could still be seen. Kisame stepped over the body, grabbed some firewood, and through some on the dying flame as Kurai grabbed a piece, lit it on fire, and through it back onto the wood causing the fire to grow larger suddenly. The fire that was lighting the cave had woken up the person sleeping on the ground. Hearing movement, Hinata and Naruto move to stand next to Kurai as they watched the body stir and move the blanket, covering him, off. That's when Naruto saw the jet black hair and onyx eyes of Uchiha Itachi as he sat up yawning and blinking from the bright blue flames. Naruto took a protective step back, believing Itachi to be dead, and in case he needed to run back to the cave entrance. Kisame looked at Naruto and his stance.
"I told you we're not here to capture you…yet. All we wanted was to see her" Kisame said pointing a finger at Kurai who seemed very interested in Itachi all of a sudden.
"She's here, Kisame?" Itachi asked as he eyes adjusted to the bright light and he looked up at his former partner.
"Right behind you, actually" Kisame said staring at Kurai as if ordering her to do something. Standing up, Itachi sat on a rock and turned to look at Kurai who moved closer to the flame so he could get a better view.
'There's something different about Itachi… besides the fact that he shouldn't be alive.' Naruto thought as he stared at the Uchiha wondering what was out of place.
"His sharingan isn't activated." Kyuubi stated and then went back to being quiet surprising Naruto that he told him what was wrong as he usually ignored his thoughts. Naruto looked at Itachi's face and realized that's what was different about him. When Itachi turned his attention to Hinata, he growled menacingly and stood in front of her as if to protect her from his gaze. Itachi then looked into Naruto's eyes with surprise and wonder as Naruto growled out, "if you so much as look at them wrong, I won't hesitate to kill you." That's when Kisame chuckled at Naruto's threat and walked towards them giving him his sharp teeth smile.
"We're not scared of some little kid who failed to do the one thing he promised so many times to so many people…to bring back the brother of Itachi, Sasuke. Where is he, Naruto?" Kisame said in a taunting voice as Naruto back down remembering that he was no match for an S-ranked criminal let alone two of them by himself. Hinata, on the other hand, believe she was because right after the those words let the grinning shark's mouth, Kisame felt himself being lifted off his feet and being blown back into the wall, caught off guard by Hinata's Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm. As Kisame was sliding down the wall, Naruto started laughing as Hinata grinned, happy she cheered Naruto up and put Kisame in his place, while Kurai continued to look at Itachi with an intrigued look on her face. As Itachi watched Kisame slide down the wall, he just shook his head and stood up again.
"You do realize you deserved that right, Kisame?" Itachi said as he bent down to pick up the blanket and wrap himself in it. Looking at the blue-purple fire with curiosity, he then turned his attention back to the trio eyes lingering on Kurai, when he stated more than asked, "So it wasn't a genjutsu then."
Kisame let out a groan as he rubbed his head and stood up glaring at Hinata who still had a soft smile when Naruto growled and reminded Kisame of his threat. Kisame opened his mouth to say something else that would most likely get him hurt again was cut off Itachi. "Enough Kisame" he said giving him a look that made his shut his mouth but not before sending another glare towards Hinata.
"I'm going to guess you're the one Kisame was talking about." Naruto said ignoring Kisame's mutter of "obviously" as he looked at Itachi who was standing near the fire. "My biggest question is how you are here because last I heard Sasuke killed you." Naruto said hearing gasp from Hinata and Kurai.
"…I don't truthfully know how, but I did die when I battled Sasuke not by his hand though but the illness that was already killing me." Itachi stated continuing to stare at the fire. He then gave a recap of what happened over two weeks ago up until the night of the clearing even mentioning how he saw Hinata trained causing her to blush at being caught voicing her true thoughts. "It's the night at the clearing that I still wondering about. What was that girl and who was the boy that poked me like that?" Itachi asked, in his own little world of remembering that night.
"I remember the girl said that she was a 'hanyo' or half demon who came to help me…I guess she did." Hinata said looking at Kurai who was having a glaring contest with Kisame. "But I didn't see a boy or anybody else when I used my byakugan. What did he look like?"
Itachi then described the boy and his weird Kakashi trade-mark of covering one eye plus the questions and stuff he said.
"What medicine?" Kisame asked not hearing that part of the story.
"The medicine I took that somehow got rid of my illness. The boy asked if I took it and when I nodded he said good and that it will help. He also said that I would soon be rewarded for all I done then he poked me."
"What was so special about a poke?" Naruto asked, confused why Itachi made a big deal about being poke unless he hated people touching him.
"It's the way he did it and the effects of it as he poked me in the same manner I used to poke Sasuke when we were little" Itachi said ushering Naruto forward and doing the poke on him to demonstrate it.
"Hey, that hurt" Naruto said rubbing the spot below his forehead. Chuckling at how similar Naruto acted like Sasuke, he went back to explaining how after the boy poked him, he started glowing and he had the ability to reactivate his sharingan and use his genjutsu without straining his eyes.
"You mean you couldn't use the sharingan when you first woke up?" Kurai asked, seeming interested in Itachi's story.
"No. After I passed my powers over to Sasuke, I was blind and later died and felt like I was floating until I felt my body become heavy and I woke up in the cave. I found supplies and the medicine in the bag with a note, which it told me to burn. Whatever was in that medicine, it basically cured my illness but I guess my sharingan was unaffected due to me giving the power over to Sasuke. After the poke and I was covered with that weird light, I felt my sharingan become active once again and my illness completely disappear. "I decided not to keep it activated all the time because I've been given a second chance and I don't want to waste it" he said looking at the group before him made up of Naruto, Hinata, and Kurai. Kisame, who was sitting on a nearby rock, spoke up by saying,
"That's why I need your help. I know Itachi is capable of taking care of himself and all, but I want you three to watch over him since he is connected to you through the clearing. I have to get back to the Akatuski and report my mission and make up an excuse as to why I'm late."
The gang then looked at Itachi.
"I'm not going back to the Akatuski because I'm not needed there anymore now that Madara has Sasuke, plus they believe me to be dead."
"I already watched over him for the past two days and need someone to make sure that he doesn't get sick again. I believe the boy cured him, but I don't know if it's permanent so can I ask you three to take care of him?" Kisame asked actually looking concerned which surprised the trio. Looking at Itachi, they saw his sad eyes as they pondered what to do until Hinata mentioned about him killing his family. "
I can't blame him if his family was as strict and crazy as ours" Kurai muttered as Itachi stared at them. Sighing, Itachi then told them the truth about why he did that and why he did all he did to Sasuke.
"Wow, yours was crazier" Kurai said as she looked at Hinata and Naruto who seem to be deep in thought. There was silence for about a minute as they thought if it was wise to watch over Itachi. Looking at each other and then at Itachi, they nodded all in agreement and said that they would take care of him. Kisame nodding, relief shown all over his face, as he grabbed his sword, the extra Akatuski cloak, and headed out through the forest and back to the Akatuski base. As Kisame was leaving, he looked back and said,
"If we meet again in the future, Itachi" Kisame said leaving his former partner behind to the care of the three ninjas. As Kisame left, Naruto, Kurai, and Hinata sat on the rocks staring at the fire and wondering what to do next. As they stood to leave, somebody's stomach growled loudly in the quiet cave.
"…are you hungry, Itachi-san?" Hinata ask as she realized the sound came from him. Standing up, he grabbed the backpack full of supplies and opened it looking for food.
"…Yes. I just realized I'm out of food since Kisame ate all of it while I was sleep I bet." Itachi sigh closing the bag and carrying it over one shoulder. "Looks like it's time for me to go back into town" he said making his way to the cave entrance.
"Wait…how did you go through the town without being caught?" Naruto asked quickly catching up to Itachi with the two kunoichi behind him.
"Whoever gave me the bag, gave me a set of clothes that hides the wearer's scent and chakra signature as long as they use very little chakra while wearing it" Itachi informed the group stopping right in front of the charm embedded in the wall.
"It would be better if you could use your chakra" Hinata thought out loud as she imagined a jutsu that would help Itachi use his chakra but still be able to stay hidden to the ANBU. Hinata then felt the same warm feeling that always seem to take place before something weird happened. Gasping, she let the feeling take over, spreading quickly as Kurai seemed to be feeling the same thing.
"What's going on?" Itachi asked quietly noticing both girls suddenly withdraw within themselves.
"I believe it's some kind of power they both have. I saw it happen several times already" Naruto said quickly explaining what happened over the last two days. Kurai and Hinata focused as they mind-linked with each other.
"Hinata just learned a new jutsu called the demon illusion. Hinata decided to call it the fox illusion based on the myth of kitsune being able to change forms" Kurai said missing the look Itachi and Naruto sent to each other. "We're going to need you help with this Naruto." Kurai says looking at him.
'Kuso, do they know about Kyuubi?'
"Since you have the largest chakra capacity it will be easier for you to help us" Hinata finished looking at Itachi who just stood there. "Do you have something we can fuel chakra to that you can wear?" Hinata asked just as Itachi took off his hitai-ate and handed it to her.
"Will this do?" Itachi asked as Hinata took the protector from her hand. Nodding, she asked Naruto to draw some chakra to his hand and make a cut so a few drops will run over the protector. Naruto instantly felt the Kyuubi's chakra course through him without asking as he did as Hinata instructed. Cutting his palm he watch as a trickle of blood formed before the skin started to heal again and let the blood drip over the leaf symbol of the hitai-ate as Hinata made an unusual one hand seal and said "Demon style: Fox Illusion". The blood then begin to be absorbed into the symbol on the protector and take on an eerie glow, which soon disappeared and Itachi was handed back his protector.
"Let's try it out" Kurai said as she activated her byakugan while Itachi re-tied his hitai-ate back in place. Kurai then gave a nod and deactivated her eyes as she told them that his chakra was hidden and a false one was set to take its place. "You can now use your chakra more freely since this isn't an ordinary ninjutsu or genjutsu. The jutsu is way stronger than a genjutsu and it can't be expelled except by the one who cast it. Also if your hitai-ate comes off, it will still work up to an hour without it, although I suggest you keep it close to you." Kurai stated as she made her way out the cave, followed by the rest.
"How did you learn to use demon style?" Itachi ask as they started walking back to the village. As Kurai was about to answer, they all felt a killing aura up ahead that made them stop in their tracks.
"I'll tell you after we get pass "Busty" Kurai said as she grabbed his arm. "I'm going to go ahead and teleport Itachi into town, you two go invisible and sneak pass her" Kurai told Naruto and Hinata who nodded in agreement. As Kurai and Itachi disappeared, Hinata took Naruto's hand and started to fuel him with her thinning chakra.
'I wonder if I'm able to learn it too or maybe you need excellent chakra control.' Naruto thought as they turned invisible.
"I'll teach you later" Kyuubi responded to Naruto's question and remained silent. Wondering what was wrong with the fox and why he was being so helpful all of sudden, Naruto quietly, with Hinata, made their way back to the training ground to find one very angry Tsunade, Kakashi, and his ninja hounds talking.
"He couldn't have just disappeared in thin air. He doesn't have that ability yet" Tsunade was yelling a vein in her temple could be seen as she talked to Kakashi.
"Maybe he figured out you was having him tailed and used a shadow clone to get some 'privacy'." Pakkun said as the rest of the pack barked in agreement.
"Naruto isn't that kind of kid, although he might have pulled this stunt so the ANBU would leave them alone. I did say that it might not be a good idea to have them follow him and the girls everywhere" Kakashi said looking at Tsunade who was frowning at how right he was.
"I know but where could they have gone and why in this direction? Did they go back to the clearing, but why?" Tsunade was asking herself out loud a worried look on her face.
"Maybe they thought going back to the clearing would make them remember something. I think they knew they were being followed and ditched the ANBU so they could go in peace. I bet while we were looking for them they already went back home or something." Kakashi said, thanking the dogs who then disappeared back to their realm. Tsunade just nodded and made her way back to Konoha with Kakashi, who didn't realize that Naruto and Hinata were right behind them, trying hard not to giggle at the irony of them sneaking up on a jonin and the Hokage. As the duo disappeared, Hinata and Naruto stayed invisible until they got to a shaded alley and Hinata stopped thinning her chakra. Smiling, Naruto and Hinata found Itachi and Kurai who was making their way to Naruto's apartment. Kurai told them she was taking Itachi back to the cave and staying there until the morning, then she would poof them to Naruto's house. Nodding, Hinata and Naruto walked them to Naruto's house where Kurai grabbed the extra futon out of the closet and disappeared with Itachi. As they got ready for bed, they agreed to let Itachi live with them until the house in the woods was finished and he could live there until he started a new life, literally.
*the next morning*
Naruto and Hinata woke up to Kurai and Itachi fixing and eating breakfast in the kitchen. Telling them the plan, they agreed and Kurai went to get Itachi's futon and backpack while they got ready for the day.
"You know you going to have to face Hokage Tsunade today, right?" Kurai said returning after a few minutes with Itachi's things. Sighing, they nodded as they grabbed their bags and was heading for the door.
"Kurai, can you stay here with Itachi until we get back, also try to stay away from the windows, Itachi-san, just in case the ANBU are spying on my house" Naruto said as they were opening the door. Nodding in response, Itachi and Kurai cleaned up the dishes while Naruto and Hinata left to join their teams at the Academy. Meeting at the Academy, everybody asked where Kurai was at, answering that she stayed home, when Tsunade came in. Giving missions to all the teams, she informed Naruto and Hinata that they won't be joining their teams this time. Surprising everybody when Naruto accepted it without an argument, Tsunade combined Sakura with Shino and Kiba while Sai was to stay behind in Konoha. While the teams were leaving, Tsunade asked Hinata and Naruto to stay, saying she had questions. Knowing what she was going to ask they waited till all the teams left to explain their disappearance yesterday. They explained the disappearance saying they felt like they were being watched and didn't know if it was an enemy so Naruto used shadow clones and a henge to look like them. Then went back to the clearing to find some clues but didn't find anything so they went back home. Tsunade, who accepted the answer, although it looked like she didn't fully believe it, said that they were dismissed.
"That was close. I think we better lie low for a while, it's a good thing we had Itachi stay with us" Naruto said as he and Hinata started walking back to his apartment.
"I think we better call him by the fake name he has when we're outside, because we don't want anybody to know yet" Hinata whispered as they passed by crowds of people enjoying their day.
"You're right, so let's inform them and then I'm taking you out on a date later" Naruto said smiling as they neared his apartment. Holding hands, they entered the apartment and told Itachi and Kurai what happened. Later that evening, after eating lunch and going to buy more clothes for Itachi, Naruto decided to take Hinata out. Itachi and Kurai, who agreed to lie low, stayed at home while Naruto took Hinata out on a date like he promised. Naruto took Hinata out for dinner at Ichiraku Ramen and to the Dango Shop for cinnamon buns (and dangos for Kurai and Itachi), then headed over to the park, where they were sitting on a bench while Naruto fed her the sticky buns. They watched the little kids be carried away after a long day of playing as the sun was setting in front of them.
'This date has been perfect' they both were thinking as they share a kiss and watch the sun fall and the moon rise.
"I think it's time to give her the necklace, Kit." Kyuubi says softly not wanting to ruin the moment Naruto has with Hinata. Nodding in agreement, he reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out the box. Smiling at the chibi fox print, Hinata opens her gift to find two silver heart-shaped necklaces lying inside the box. On the necklaces were two red foxes looking up at a full moon with their tails intertwined.
"It's beautiful Naruto-kun. Thank you" Hinata said tears forming at the corners of her eyes as Naruto pull one of the necklaces out and putt it around her neck. Doing the same, Hinata picks up the second necklaces and places it around his neck. "It's beautiful on you Naruto-kun" Hinata says sitting in Naruto's lap and snuggling closer to him.
"You make it more beautiful, Hinata-chan." Naruto says smiling as they watch the sun dip over the horizon.
Sakura: Aw, that's so adorable.
Me: …you're complimenting my work, really?
Ino: Yea, but I have one question to ask you?
Me: Ok. What is it?
Sakura and Ino: Are you going to draw my scene with Sasuke-kun like that?
Me: …uh-
Sakura and Ino: What do you mean YOUR scene? Sasuke-kun is mine. (Start arguing)
Me: *backs away* Ok. It's time for me to get back to the plot of the story before I have more than two angry Sasuke-obsessed kunoichi after me next. *runs off*
When the night started to get cold, Naruto and Hinata made their way back home where Itachi and Kurai had just finish eating dinner. Handing them the bag full of the sweet dumplings, Naruto and Hinata then went to get ready for bed as everybody had already done so.
"Naruto, did you feed my chakra through the necklace like I told you?" Kyuubi asked sounding more relaxed instead of his roaring voice.
'Yea, Kyuubi I did, what was the point of that anyway?' Naruto asked as he changed in the bathroom, letting Hinata have privacy changing in his room.
"She will now be able to use my chakra if she ever is in danger. You can also find her if you're separated, no matter how far, and her wounds will heal faster if she uses my chakra. So basically, she has the same abilities as you, although not as strong, but I will still be inside you Kit. Also I will teach you how to use demon style tomorrow" Kyuubi explained as Naruto finished changing and came out of the bathroom.
'Why are you doing this, Kyuubi? You've been acting weird lately. I mean you haven't yelled at me once, try and trick me to use your chakra even willing gave it to me, and then said you would train me some new jutsus…are you sick, dying, or possessed?' Naruto asked but not getting a response so he let it be for now. Naruto gave Hinata and Kurai his bed, while Itachi slept on the futon from the cave and Naruto slept on the couch, since his apartment wasn't really big enough to fit four people, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
*the next day*
The day was uneventful as they woke up, ate, and train (Naruto learning to become invisible) until they had to go see about missions. All four left the apartment, Itachi went to buy supplies while Naruto and the girls went to see about missions, which they didn't have any today. Leaving the building, Hinata and Naruto joined their teams as Kurai went to find Itachi. As the teams went their separate ways, Kyuubi decided now was the time to talk.
"Kit, since you have time right now, I'm going to teach you some demon style jutsus. The first one is called Demon style: Fox Fire and it's similar to what Kurai used the other day but this is used more attacking than lighting up a cave, although it can make a good flashlight" Kyuubi said as they made their way towards the training ground they always go to.
'Okay…but my element is wind, not fire, so how will that work?' Naruto asked not paying attention to one of his team-mate's rising temper.
"Hey Naruto, stop spacing out already we're going to train, not think about Hinata." Sakura said agitation in her voice.
"I know that and I wasn't thinking of Hinata-chan just now, I was thinking of-" Naruto started but was once again cut off by Sakura.
"Yea right, I know you were thinking about her because it's written all over your face. You better not be leading her own or I will put you in the hospital myself" Sakura said angrily, fueling chakra to her glove-clad hand in warning.
'What did I see in her that made me like her?' he asked himself as he frowned at the pink-haired kunoichi.
"That's a good question but one I don't think can be answered at this time. It seems that she not going to give you any peace to train, so instead of fox fire, I'll train you more on how to better your invisible jutsu like Hinata and Kurai did. Now remember, first you channel chakra throughout your body…" Kyuubi then went on to explain how to become invisible and escape his team.
"Although I suggest you wait till their ahead some before doing it as you don't want to give away your trump card yet."
'Good point, but they will realize that something is up if I just disappeared…I know' Naruto grinned as they passed the trees of the training ground. "I'll be back. I got to pee" Naruto said quickly heading for the forest as Sakura, Sai, and Yamato watch him leave, a displeased look on Sakura's face.
"Hurry up, Naruto" she yelled out to the blonde. Using a little chakra to get some distance between them, he then made a shadow clone and quickly hid in the tree tops. 'Just as I suspected' Naruto thought when he noticed one of Sai's ink mice trailing after his clone. Naruto begin to fuel chakra throughout his body at a slow pace as not to get the mouse's attention. When chakra was coursing his body, he imagined it thinning to the point of being invisible along with his body. Noticing he was disappearing, he quietly made his way down the tree and fully disappeared just as his clone and Sai's drawing went pass him. Naruto and his clone then went back to the training grounds where the others were waiting.
"About time" Sakura said as she started walking away with Yamato, Sai, and his clone following her.
"Good, now that they're gone let's go somewhere else to train before that pink haired kunoichi finds out that's not you." Kyuubi suggested as Naruto quickly left the grounds and made his way through town.
'Hey, how do I find Hinata? You said I could use the necklace, how do I do that?' Naruto asked as he headed in the direction Hinata's team went.
"Channel a little chakra in it, and the female fox will glow the closer you get to her. When both foxes start glowing red that means she's nearby. You can use it and still stay invisible, however the other necklace will grow warm and glow too which can give her away so be quick about it."
Nodding, Naruto started sending some of the thin chakra into the necklace making the male fox glowed brightly and the female glow just as bright as Naruto kept walking. When both foxes turned red, he stopped fueling chakra and looked around. He was in front of bookstore where he used to find "resource" for his sexy no jutsu.
'Why am I here?' he thought as he turned visible and went inside. Looking around, he found Hinata, Kurai, and Itachi looking at books and scrolls. As if sensing him, Hinata looked up from the book she was looking at and noticed Naruto. Smiling, she waved him over to join the rest as she closed the book and held it in her hand.
"What are you doing here I thought you were with your team?" Naruto asked as he approached the group.
"I was but Kiba had to go help his mom and sister and Shino said something about bug observing, so I decided to find Kurai and "Yoru" and we found our way here" Hinata explained waving her hand around her. "What about you and your team?" Hinata asked going to pay for her new book with Itachi and Kurai right behind her.
"Uh- I sort of ditched them. Sakura-chan was being mean and I wanted to try out a similar jutsu Kurai used in the cave" Naruto said nervously hoping Hinata wouldn't be mad at him. Blinking, she just laughed softly while Kurai and Itachi gave him a knowing glance.
"Hey, Naruto, I truthfully can't blame you. "Pinky" is a hard person to be around with especially with her temper" Kurai said as they were making their way out of the bookstore.
"Yea she is-" is all Naruto got to say when he felt his shadow clone disperse. "Uh oh, Sakura knows I'm not there" Naruto said right before a loud cry of "NARUTO I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" was heard in the distance.
'Crap, she going to pummel me. Quick what's the one place she would never find me?' Naruto was thinking looking around for the angry pink-haired kunoichi.
"Try the library, Kit. That's the last place anybody would think to look for you, even me." Kyuubi snorted. Thanking the Kyuubi before realizing that last part, Naruto quickly channeled his chakra and turned invisible.
"Meet me at the library when you can" Naruto said in a hurry as he headed straight for the library, hearing the cries of his name getting louder. Laughing at how fast Naruto left, Hinata, Kurai, and Itachi started walking through the town when they all sensed the anger chakra of Sakura approaching them from behind.
"Here comes trouble…" Kurai muttered as they all turned around looking at Sakura whose fist was glowing with chakra.
"Where is he?" Sakura yelled to Hinata while people were trying to avoid the angry kunoichi who was looking around.
"If you mean Naruto-kun, I haven't seen him" Hinata said, spotting Yamato and Sai running towards them.
"I know he's around here somewhere, so where is he?" Sakura screamed making everybody around move out the way.
"She just said that Naruto-kun isn't here and if he was he'd been smart and ran when he heard you scream his name." Kurai muttered hands on her hips as she watches Sakura's temper flare. As soon as Yamato and Sai were close to reaching her, Sakura turned her attention to Itachi.
"You can't fool me, Naruto I know that's you, so prepare to meet the hospital" Sakura said, her glowing fist about to punch Itachi as Sai was pulling out his scroll and starting to draw.
"Wait a minute I'm not Naru-WHAM!"
The group watch as the figure flew back into the crowd, clearly knocked out. Shock was shown on Sai, Yamato, Hinata, and Itachi's face as Sakura was sent flying after she hit a chakra-infused field of air right in front of Itachi. The group then looked at Kurai, who had a murderous look in her eyes. Walking with an aura of power around her she stepped in front of Sai and Yamato who had shocked looks on their faces.
"I'll say it again Naruto-kun isn't here so stop harassing us. In fact I'm glad he managed to sneak past you three because if he was hurt by Sakura in any way, she would have to deal with TWO angry kunoichi so I suggest you take my advice and leaves us alone."
The aura of power slowly disappeared as Kurai walked back to the group as they started walking away. Looking back, Itachi watch as Yamato and Sai tied up Sakura with ink snakes and rush her to the hospital. As soon as they were out of sight, Hinata let out a breath and stretched as she walked.
"She must have trained with Hokage Tsunade because they both have that monstrous strength and short temper."
"Bad combination if you ask me" Kurai sighed as she looked at Itachi who seem to be deep in thought. "You okay, Itachi-kun?" Kurai asked when he didn't say a word since the Sakura incident.
"Everything is fine. Thank you for protecting me. How did Naruto-kun and my brother survive with her on the team?" Itachi wondered out loud as they made their way to the library.
"She only got that strong after Naruto left for his 3-year training trip with Jiraiya-sennin, also she likes Sasuke a lot" Hinata answered as they headed up the library stairs.
"More like obsessed with" Kurai muttered, as she opened the door and went inside with Hinata and Itachi behind her. Inside they found Naruto putting back a book he just read.
"Hey, I heard the commotion all the way here. What happened?" Naruto asked sitting down at one of the tables. After they filled Naruto in on what happened, he apologized to Itachi for making Sakura think he was him. Waving away the apology, Itachi and Kurai disappeared home to make dinner while Naruto and Hinata decided to pick up dessert. Buying dangos, onigirl, cinnamon buns, and a bowl of red bean soup they made their way back to the apartment where the smell of food wafted towards them through the door. Opening it, they found that Kurai had cooked beef donburi and was now placing the food on the table. After sitting down to eat the meal and enjoy the desserts they brought, everybody went to bed ready to face what tomorrow brought them.
*the next morning*
Everybody woke up to help Naruto pack all his things because he was to move in with Hinata and Kurai in the house prepared for them.
"You can stay too, Itachi-san" Hinata said who was finishing packing the dishes.
"It's deep in the forest, close enough to the Hyuuga Manor but far away to have privacy."
Thanking her for the hospitality, he agreed and said that he will help the movers with Naruto's things. Nodding, Hinata and Kurai then left for the meeting room to see if they had assignments today. Entering the room, they found everybody there except for Sakura and Tsunade. Everybody started asking what happened to Sakura because word had spread fast that she was in the hospital just then, the door opened to reveal Sakura and Tsunade entering the room. Sakura made her way to her team, where Naruto was hiding behind Yamato, and stood next to Sai not saying anything. Tsunade announced she had missions for Yamato's and Kakashi's team and that the rest were dismissed. As everybody left but the two teams, Tsunade called forth Hinata and Naruto, who was still hiding behind Yamato. Quickly making his way towards Tsunade, and avoiding Sakura, she told them that she trusted them enough to go on missions, however to try and keep Kurai in check. Hinata then explained what happened and Tsunade just nodded and asked Naruto how did he escape and where did he go. Naruto admitted he used a shadow clone to escape and then went to find Hinata but guess Sakura would look for him with her so he went to the library. Surprised at how clever he was, Tsunade gave them their missions and let them go on their way.
*several hours later*
Both teams returned at the same time, missions successful, as they started talking to each other. Sakura was still pretty quiet, not once yelling or threatening Naruto. When the teams made it back to the gate, they spotted Neji who seemed to be waiting for them.
"Naruto, Hinata-san, ojisan told me to find you and let you know the house is done and all Naruto things are moved in, with the help of your neighbor Yoru and I'm to show you where it is" Neji said looking at the pair as they approached. A sound was heard as Kurai suddenly appeared next to Neji with a big smirk on her face.
"I have to admit, the house is awesome I mean it's big and spacious and far away from the main house that we could throw a party and nobody would know it" Kurai said thinking about the party she could have in the house.
"Please, no parties, besides somebody would notice if a whole bunch of different people suddenly appeared on the Hyuuga property" Neji stated, lips twitching into a smile as he imagined being at the party Kurai was thinking of. Sighing, Kurai started walking away with Neji, Naruto, and Hinata right behind her to show them their new home. When they got there, they couldn't help but gasp at how perfect it was. It was a two-story four-bedroom house with a kitchen, dining area, living area, and entertainment room that had everything already set up. Smiling, they asked Neji to inform Hiashi that the house was perfect and that they were staying here now. Saying he would, Neji left them alone so they could get used to their new home.
"…so where is Itachi? Naruto asked looking around for the Uchiha.
"He said he was going home first to get a few things and that he will be right back."
No sooner had the words left Kurai's mouth that Itachi appeared in front of them, the backpack slung over his shoulder.
"This is a nice house, it's not too big and it's comfortable. Oh and I picked up take-out along the way, so let's eat" Itachi said placing the food on the table. Hinata then asked Naruto about Sakura's behavior.
"It's weird. She hasn't yelled or hit me all day in fact she hasn't really talked to me at all" Naruto responded.
"Hmm, maybe that was the first time she was actually struck back, and by her own attack too" Hinata said taking another bite of her meal.
"Heh, maybe now she knows what she puts Naruto and Sai through, I still can't believe she thought that Itachi-kun was Naruto" Kurai said finishing the food on her plate.
"I forgot to ask you, but how did you create that chakra field around Itachi? I thought you could only make one around yourself?" Naruto asked wanting to know if he would be able to protect Hinata the same way. Kurai's face turned into a frown as she thought about it.
"Truthfully, I don't know how I did that. When I saw her aiming her attack at him, I got scared for a second then I got really mad that she was going to try and hit him."
Hinata was deep in thought as something crossed her mind.
"Maybe it has something to do with our emotions. Remember in the hospital when I got angry for how they treated Naruto-kun and a strange power came forth and attacked everybody. Maybe it's the same with you, Kurai" Hinata suggested, picking up her plate and cleaning it in the sink.
"Hmm maybe" Kurai agreeing and stand up to do the same with her plate. After they ate and cleaned their plates, they all selected a room to claim as theirs. After putting their clothes away, they all fell into a deep sleep only to find themselves in the same dream. In front of them was gray cat with black stripes running along its back with light blue paws, underbelly, and muzzle wearing a bell collar and yellow goggles on its head. The cat smiled, yellow eyes glowing in the dream world.
'What is with the cat…and why is everybody else in my dream?' Hinata thought as she noticed Kurai, Naruto, and Itachi standing, well "floating" next to her staring at the cat too.
"Where are we?" Naruto said as he noticed the others. "And what are you doing in my dream?" he asked looking confused like how everybody else felt.
"I believe that we are sharing a dream Naruto-kun and this cat is the reason we are all here" Itachi said looking at the cat, waiting for it to do something.
"You're correct Itachi I did bring you four here as I did the same with Hiashi-sama" the cat responded, confirming that it was a female, tail slightly curled.
"Why have you brought us here?" Kurai asked curiosity etched in her voice. Smiling, the cat started to move towards them and with each step the bell around her neck rang.
'To find the truth is what you seek, start the quest until it's complete.'
'The secret held within your soul, first you must find the hidden scroll.'
'A clue I left the table of center, it's time to set out on your adventure.'
The cat begin to fade away the closer it got to them. "Hey, wait a minute, what did you mean when you said all that?" Naruto asked confused by the riddle.
'The hidden scroll is the key to the truth' the cat's voice said, slowly becoming softer as the cat faded. The only thing left was the bell collar that seems to float in mid-air as it gave out one last chime and disappeared. The two shinobi and kunoichi then felt themselves leave the dream world for the real one. All of them waking up and gasping, looked at the time and noticed it was still night. All tired, they went back to sleep enjoying the rest of the dreamless night.
*the next morning*
As they woke up, they all remembered last night and asked each other if they had a strange dream. Realizing that they all had the same dream they tried to remember what the cat had said to them.
"What did she mean by the hidden scroll?" Hinata was wondering, looking at the others who were deep in thought except Naruto who went to the kitchen to find breakfast.
"I'm more curious about when she said, 'A clue I left the table of center, it's time to set out on your adventure.'
Just then Naruto's voice could be heard from the kitchen hollering something about a note on the table. Looking at each other, Hinata, Kurai, and Itachi quickly made their way to the dining area where there was, in fact, a note sitting in the middle of the table.
"Guess that explained that part." Kurai said reaching for the note and picking it up to read to everybody.
"Only the greatest ninjas can go back to where it all begins,"
"This place you visited many times, learning of secret missions"
"Earning the title of Hokage, and returning after reaching their goal"
"Go the place where the history is held, using the power to find the scroll"
"Enjoy your journey, for it's the one Naruto has been wanting."
"Hinata and Kurai find the truth, and Itachi can finally stop hunting."
"What is that supposed to mean and what is with all the riddles?" Naruto said loudly after Kurai finished reading the note out loud to the group.
"I don't know it seems really confusing" Kurai said turning it over to see if anything else was written but there wasn't.
'For it's the one Naruto has been wanting?' Itachi said, looking at the blonde in question.
"The only thing I want to do is find Sasuke and become Hokage" Naruto said angrily as he fixed himself breakfast.
"Hokage…HOKAGE, that's it. The riddle must mean the Academy" Hinata stated loudly, making everybody look at her.
"How is that?" Naruto said mouth full of ramen.
"The academy is where every great shinobi and kunoichi started out… as a student in the Academy. That's the first line. We visit the administrative building every day to learn what mission we will be assigned that day. That's the second line. All the ones who take the job as Hokage have reached the goal to protect the village they live in. That's the third line. That fifth line means your goal to find and rescue Sasuke and become Hokage to protect those around you" Hinata said breaking down what the riddle meant.
"But what about the fourth part, what place is the history held and what does it mean use the power to find the scroll? And what's with the last line does that mean when we find the scroll everything will lead to the truth and what is Itachi-kun hunting for?" Kurai stated looking at the note again.
"I think it means a place in the Academy, a place the Hokage knows about…maybe in the Hokage's office the scroll is hidden" Itachi said, figuring out the last of the riddle. All agreeing that's what the riddle meant they wondered what this meant and what the cat was about.
"I don't know why but that cat seems…familiar to me" Hinata said after everybody ate breakfast and was getting ready for the day.
"Yea me too, it's really strange because it's like she knows what we're planning to do" Kurai said as everybody gathered at the table, deep in thought.
"Exactly, what are we planning to do?" Naruto asked, drinking a cup of milk as he waited for somebody to answer.
"We need to break into Tsunade's office and find that scroll" Hinata said with determination heard in her voice as Naruto started choking on the milk he was drinking while Itachi patted him on the back.
"We're going to do what?" Naruto asked making sure he hadn't misheard Hinata.
"We need someone to distract Tsunade-sama and the ANBU long enough to have two of us slip into her office and look around while a look-out keeps watch and informs if somebody is coming so the searchers can quickly escape" Hinata said, already having a plan set out for the occasional. Naruto was surprised at how Hinata have been acting different lately because the Hinata he remember would never do anything that could get her in trouble.
"You do know what we're planning is illegal and can get us into serious trouble, right?" Naruto said making sure Hinata knew of the dangers and consequences of this mission.
"Yes, I understand the dangers and willing to take the chance, for I have changed and now see things in a new way. Everybody must do things they don't want to, to find the truth and be seen for what you can do, so now it's time I proved to myself what I can do. My only question is, are you in?" Hinata said, standing up and looking at the group. Kurai stood up instantly.
"I'm in. It will be fun to do something bad" she said a smirk on her face as she looked at the boys. Naruto after a few seconds stood up too.
"I can't let you girls have all the fun, besides baa-chan will find some kind of way to blame it on me anyway."
They all looked at Itachi.
"It's okay Itachi-san, we understand if you don't want to join. I mean you just got your life back and-" before Hinata could finish Itachi stood up and said he was in.
"What I seen over the past two weeks had made me stronger than before and I'm in no matter what. Besides have any of you ever actually broke into a place before?"
Their silence was enough answer for him as they all said that they were in this together.
"Good friends will try to get you out of jail, but true friends would be in jail alongside you" Kurai stated surprising everybody by that inspiring phrase.
"Wow, Kurai, did you come up with that just now?" Hinata asked looking at her twin.
"No, I read it in one of the books at the store" Kurai said with a smile on her face as everybody started laughing.
"Okay, let's get planning" Hinata said as they sat down and decided who would do what. "Here's the plan: Itachi-san and I will sneak into the office and look around for clues using my byakugan and his sharingan to find something hidden. And just in case someone somehow comes in, he can cast a quick genjutsu so we have time to escape. Kurai can be lookout since it will be more suspicious if I was around and Kurai wasn't in site and they also would pay more attention to her than to me. Naruto-kun you have the most important job of all- keeping Tsunade and the ANBU away from the office as long as possible. Do you think you're up to the task?" Hinata asked smiling knowing that Naruto was always looking for a new challenge. Naruto nodded, deep in thought, thinking of the one thing that will distract Tsunade and the ANBU.
"Think like your perverted sensei" Kyuubi offered as he wondered what the blonde would come up with.
'You mean Kakashi or…' Naruto thought and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
"That's genius even for you Gaki, not only will you have Tsunade after you but the whole ANBU squad as they try and stop her from killing you" Kyuubi said shaking his head at Konoha's number one prankster and his idea for the distraction.
"Judging by that big grin on your face, you came up with a way to get 'Busty' out of the office" Kurai said who seemed to like giving people nicknames.
Nodding, Naruto then shared his idea with the others. The others burst into laughter as they praised him saying that it was perfect and expect nothing less from him. They decided to put their plan into action at 1pm that day and left to enjoy the morning. Walking around until it was time to see Tsunade about missions Naruto spotted Konohamaru and told the others that he was going to talk to Konohamaru. Nodding, they watch Naruto whisper something into the scarf-wearing kid's ear as Konohamaru agreed, a giant grin on his face, saying he can't wait and ran off. Kurai and Itachi walked back to the house as Naruto and Hinata made their way to the meeting room where their teams were assigned missions.
"I really hope we don't have any missions today" Hinata said as they opened the door and joined their teams to see what was in store for them. The good news was Hinata's team didn't have a mission. The bad news was Naruto's did and he wasn't happy about it.
"EH, we got a mission today!" Naruto yelled out as he couldn't believe his luck as Tsunade handed Yamato the mission report and looked down at him.
"Sorry Naruto that it isn't exciting but-" Tsunade was saying but was cut off when he blared out "but I don't want a mission today." The room grew quiet as everybody looked at the blonde who didn't want a mission and wondered if it was really Naruto.
"Smooth move, Brat" Kyuubi muttered as Tsunade narrowed her eyes at Naruto and said,
"What do you mean you DON'T want a mission?"
"Uh, what I mean is, uh…" Naruto stammered out as many of the teams asked if he was feeling alright.
"I know why Naruto doesn't want a mission today. I saw him talking with Konohamaru earlier" Shikamaru said looking out the window as if daydreaming.
'Please don't figure it out; please don't figure it out…' Naruto chanted in his mind as he felt his heartbeat almost doubled.
"I think he is planning something special for Hinata later and didn't want to be disturbed. How troublesome" Shikamaru said not once looking away from the window. Everybody started blushing and giggling as they looked at Hinata, whose face had heated up from embarrassment while Naruto's secretly showed relief at Shikamaru's wrong assumption.
'Thank you for being too lazy to care' Naruto thought as Tsunade coughed and looked down at the papers in front of her.
"Um, well, I sorry for the interruption Naruto, but I need you to go on this mission for you're the only group I think qualify, besides you might find something nice to buy Hinata and Kurai" Tsunade added, seeing the argument he was about to make. Sighing in defeat he nodded while Yamato says the team will leave in 30 minutes as everybody exited the room to get ready or stay in Konoha.
"Hey Naruto-" Sakura started saying but quickly stopped as she watched Naruto take Hinata's hand as they walked away, back to the house. Sighing, Sakura walked home to get her things thinking that she would apologize to Naruto later. Naruto also had something on his mind…how they were going to continue the plan without him.
'Kuso, I'm the only one who can keep baa-chan busy while the others do their part. Now what are going to do?' Naruto mentally sighed as he ran out of ideas.
"Look like it's time to teach you a new demon style jutsu, it's called Demon Style: Clone Possession" Kyuubi said sadness heard in his voice.
'Okay, Kyuubi, answer me this…why are you helping me?' Naruto demanded confused at the fox's behavior. Kyuubi sighed and looked down at Naruto who was in front of his cage.
"I noticed how much that girl-"
'Hinata-chan' he interjected.
"Right, Hinata-chan, means to you and loves you and I realized that is something I never had and never will experience except through you, Naruto."
Naruto was speechless as what the Kyuubi just shared with him, something deep and personal.
'Wow, Kyuubi, I had no idea...I know this is going to seem rude but you just reminded me of Gaara when you said all that.'
"Shut up, Brat" Kyuubi said but with false anger as he realized that Naruto actually understood his feelings. 'Ugh, I sound like one of the soap opera shows. I can't believe how much I'm changing…ugh, I hope this isn't permanent' Kyuubi thought as he started explaining the new jutsu to Naruto when they arrived at the house.
"So is everything a go?" Kurai asked as soon as the pair entered the door. Hinata shook her head and told them about Naruto's mission as Kyuubi finished explaining the plan on how to use the jutsu. Nodding, Itachi said that plan would have to wait till tomorrow and they all started to leave when Naruto spoke up.
"No it won't. I know a jutsu that will be perfect for the situation and as an added bonus I don't have to be here for it to work" Naruto said a smile growing on his face. As Naruto explained the jutsu, the others agreed and said it should work except for one problem.
"Who will control it while you're gone?" Kurai asked for everybody had a job they were doing.
"Well if Kurai is lookout and Hinata-chan uses her byakugan to search the office then…"
Everybody then looked at Itachi with creepy smiles on their faces. For the first time in Itachi's life, he sweat dropped as the three looked at him with knowing looks. After getting Itachi to agree to be the 'puppeteer' of the jutsu, Naruto casted the jutsu to see if it would work and it did.
"Great" Naruto said until he noticed the clock said 12:25 and quickly rushed to the gates of Konoha muttering curses as he would almost late for his mission.
"So is everybody ready to put the plan into action?" Kurai said itching to see the look on Tsunade's face when she found out. Shaking her head, Hinata suggested moving the time to 2pm.
"That way, Naruto-kun can have enough time to be far away from here and not be blamed since the town he's going to is having a daimyo visit and most likely make Naruto-kun's team use 'release' to make sure he isn't an imposter. It's good the jutsu is now controlled by Itachi but can use Naruto's chakra supply from a distance" Hinata said walking to the door and quickly making a henge to look like Naruto while she went out and told Konohamaru the change in plan, saying he had a mission and couldn't do it. Konohamaru nodded and said to tell him when he wanted to get them and ran off. Confused, Hinata returned home where she, Kurai, and Itachi stayed until it was time to go.
"Let's go out and get this show on the street, literally" Kurai said whooping as she headed out the door. Hinata giggled while Itachi smirked as they followed the danger-loving kunoichi out the door. Kurai and Itachi locked arms with Hinata as they all said, "Let's go have fun…Naruto style" as all three teleported to town and to an unsuspecting Tsunade.
Me: As you're about to see, I have a weird and twisted sense of humor but I think Naruto would be proud of what is about to happen.
Naruto: You bet I am dattebayo.
Konohamaru: I can't wait to see what you got planned, kore.
Kakashi: It will make the perverts of Konoha very happy.
?: Yes, it does. This is the best prank you ever came up with Naruto.
Naruto, Kakashi, and Konohamaru: Wait, is that-
Me: Well time to get back to the story *pushes everybody away*
*inside the Hokage's office*
Tsunade was at her desk, tired from working at the hospital to find mountains of paper waiting for her on her desk.
"Stupid paperwork" she muttered, filling out paper after paper of important things from missions to alliances.
"What I wouldn't do for a good distraction right now" Tsunade muttered as she stretched a little and got back to her least favorite pastime. However, she didn't realize her wish was about to come true. As she continued to do paperwork she started hearing whistles and cat calls and other sounds outside her window which she just ignored.
"Great, more perverts in Konoha" she muttered tuning out the sounds and concentrating on the paper in front of her. There was a knock on the door, which she yelled, "Enter" not once looking up from her desk. Konohamaru and Kakashi entered the room, a huge grin on Konohamaru's face while Kakashi was reading his book and holding his report in his hand.
"Hey Hokage baa-chan, where's Naruto nii-chan at kore?" Konohamaru said staring at Tsunade…or more specifically, her breasts.
"He's on a mission" Tsunade growls, mad at the '2nd Naruto', all the paperwork, and the sounds outside the window that seemed to be getting louder.
"See I told that it couldn't be him." Konohamaru said looking at Kakashi who had yet to put the book down.
"Really, and I thought for sure that was him. He's the only one who would do such a thing." Kakashi said from behind his book which finally caught Tsunade's attention. Looking up with a scowl she asked them what they were talking about. Then when there was a roar of wolf whistles and cat calls and other perverted sounds wafting in through the window. Tsunade looked at the window just as Konohamaru and Kakashi said, "Look outside" as they left the room, knowing what was about to happen next. Walking to the window, she looked down and… Kakashi and Konohamaru could feel the anger radiating from the room through the door and quickly jumped out a different window to the building across from the Academy to get a good view of the show that was about to happen.
'I'm going to seriously maim that boy Tsunade thought as she looks out the window and see what made a lot of the Konoha men stop and make all the cat calls, howls, and whistling outside her office. Right outside her window, in the middle of the street, was a clone of her, messing with her chest saying how soft and big they were. Tsunade's temper skyrocketed when the Tsunade in the street made a clone and then started groping each other, moaning and groaning, make the perverts fly back with nosebleeds while others were taking pictures. Her limit reached, Tsunade jumped out of the window and left a crater where she landed facing the perverts who manage to divert their gaze while Tsunade turned to look at the clones of her.
"I don't know who you are (yet I can guess) but what you're doing is wrong and you better stop or you will be facing ME" Tsunade roared making everybody stop and see what the clones were going to do. The clones, noticing Tsunade's temper, stop groping each other and looked down as if ashamed. Nodding, temper down a little said good, thinking it was Naruto getting revenge for making him go on a mission. However, what Tsunade missed was the grins on both clone's faces as they made the same hand seal and said, "Sexy Kage Bushin no Jutsu" and everybody gasp, took pictures, or got major nosebleeds at the site. All around the Academy were thousands of naked Tsunade's messing with their breast. The two clones Tsunade in front of the real one smiled and said, "bye" and disappeared. There were a 15 second period of silence where nobody dared move as everybody took in what just happened.
"That boy either got guts or a death wish to pull this kind of stunt with Tsunade" Kakashi said as he put his book away to see what was going to happen next while Konohamaru was on the rooftop rolling around and laughing saying that Naruto nii-chan was the best prankster in the world. Shizune who had just entered the room when Tsunade jumped out, looked outside, gasped, and went to alert the ANBU at the door about the danger that was about to happen and went to get the whole squad. Hinata passed Shizune and the ANBU guards who didn't give her a second look as they ran to alert the others. Kurai, who had turned invisible, was watching the show from a nearby alley, chuckling at how the plan went beautifully. Tsunade's eye started twitching as both her fist started flowing with chakra.
The Tsunade clones then smiled and said "Catch us if you can" before going off in every direction while the townspeople moved out of the way, knowing what was going to happen next.
The perverts looked at Tsunade and quickly disappeared as a killing aura seemed to cloak the infuriated Hokage who let out a roaring "I GOING TO MURDER THAT BRAT!" that was heard all throughout Konoha as she took off after the clones. As soon as she started roaring, the road was cleared within a matter of seconds, nobody wanting to be in the path of the crazed Hokage as she growled, running after some clones with Shizune and the ANBU behind her, not for her protection but for Naruto's as they saw that she truly meant what she said as she flatten two clones into the ground before they poofed away. The Konoha 11, except Naruto's team came out of their hiding places to watch as Tsunade charged around Konoha leaving craters in the streets where the Naruto clones were.
Shaking their heads they all had the same thing on their minds as they all headed for Ichiraku Ramen, thinking 'he's dead' as they listened to Tsunade roars all across the hidden leaf village. Itachi, sitting at a nearby traditional café, was eating a dango under a disguise as he controlled the clones to stay away from the Academy. Feeling the reach limit on his control, he got up and quietly started making his way through the town as everybody came out of hiding.
'Naruto-kun will get a good laugh out of this' as he pulled out a secret camcorder that had recorded the whole show. Noticing Konohamaru quickly running to watch the rest of it, he stopped him and asked to record the rest, which he was more than happy to as they made their way to watch the death of the clones and the destruction of the streets from Tsunade's fist. As everything returned to normal minus the yelling, nobody paid attention to a grinning white-haired man and his cat with a frown on its face sitting in a tree, watching the show. The man was looking through a spyglass nose bleeding as he laughed every time Tsunade destroyed a clone.
"This is the happiest day of my second life" he chuckled as he quickly got up and leaped to a another tree, the cat making a weird growling sound as it jumped along with the man. "Oh enjoy the view" the man said getting settled in another tree. The cat sighed and shook its head as it sat down beside the man, his green eyes glowing in excitement as it watched Tsunade's wrath until Yamato's team came back from their mission.
