Chapter 6

GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON/NIGHT EVERYONE! It's now chapter 6! It probably isn't good because I can't think of good idea's…. well deal with it. Since it's been a while, I figured I can try to make this a GIANT cliff-hanger. Probably not. I make the authors notes before I write, so I wouldn't know yet. Sorry if I keep spelling Aberame differently I don't exactly know how to spell it.

Disclaimer: Me: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!

Itauke: Or popsicles.

Neji: Or iPods.

Itauke: Or—

Me: I GET IT SHUT UP!

Itauke's POV:

Itauke suddenly woke up, with new surroundings. He was not in the forest anymore that was for sure. There were buildings out a window to his left, and he was lying in a bed. He could hear hushed voices outside his room. Itauke sat up, and immediately felt a searing pain in his left side. The Hyuga started to get out of bed, when someone burst into the room. Shinji walked up to him and stared at him, curiously.

"What's up with that mark on your neck?" he asked.

Itauke just stared at him. "What?"

The Aberame just looked at him like he fell from the sky. "That weird black mark on your neck. What is it?"

Itauke slowly drifted his hand to his neck. When he rested it on his neck, pain shooted from the spot and down his spine. He decided to leave it alone and see what it would do, like an idiot. He looked back at Shinji, "I don't know. It's nothing."

Shinji looked as if he wasn't going to let this drop, but then Nao-Sensei and Aya walked in and cut him off. The looked at him worriedly, but Itauke waved it off and slowly got up. He didn't say a word to the other two, and walked down the hall into another room that seemed to be the living room. He sat on the couch and looked down at his feet. What kind of power will this mark bring me? He thought. I can feel the power from it, but what is it?

The other three walked into the room, clearly not going to leave him alone. Itauke found this annoying. He couldn't even go around the house without them following him. He looked at them.

"When are we leaving?" he asked abruptly.

The three looked at each other. "Well," Nao-Sensei started, "we thought we should let you recover from your fight for a while, then—"

"No!" Itauke interrupted. "Why would you do that? I'm fine. We have a mission and we need to finish it.

The others looked at him warily. Nao closed his eyes and sighed. "Fine, but we are staying the night. I rented this place for a couple days."

That night Itauke didn't sleep well. The mark kept giving him pain. He even thought of just going back to the village, but he honestly, didn't know where he was. Maybe the Hidden Rain Village. He thought about the days before he left, with his friends and that Bell Challenge. He didn't understand why he thought of it. So much happens when you become a genin.

The next morning he grabbed his packed backpack and slung it over his shoulders. He then walked into the living room, while the three squad-mates waited for their sensei.

"Is he always gonna to be like this?" Aya asked, tired and board.

Shinji just looked at the Suzuki girl, "We should get used to it."

Aya just grumbled about the baka of a sensei, when the very man himself walked into the room. They didn't say a word. They all walked out of the little house. When the got to the exit of the village, they jumped into the tree's and started on their way to the Hidden Rock Village. On there way, Aya decided to strike up a conversation with Itauke.

She slowed down and then started to go fast again when she was in pace with the Hyuga.

"So how was your fight with the creepy snake dude?"

Itauke sighed, "Okay."

She just stared at him. "What, that's it? No detail? No anything?"

Itauke looked at her. "It was a fight, how much detail do you want?"

"Everything."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to explain it all."

Aya huffed. "It would be nice if you talked or something once in a while, you know?"

"Well I prefer not to, so I'm not going to explain it all." Itauke grumbled. He was already getting annoyed with her, and it wasn't even 7:00 yet.

They reached a strange clearing, and there were two rouge ninjas. What was worse is that Itauke's mark was burning more and more. He decided to try and let that pass, and then got into fighting stance like Nao-Sensei, Shinji, and Aya.

"Well, well, well!" Rouge Ninja 1 said, "I see we have a few ninjas who need to be taught a lesson!"

Aya looked at them with distaste. "Yea right! We'll pulverize you!"

Then, without warning, Itauke fell to his knees, clutching his curse mark in pain.

Nao looked at him, "Itauke!"

The mark started to activate, spreading all over the left side of his body. (A/N: Looks like Sasuke's) He was surrounded with some purple chakra, and his aura seemed darker.

His mark started to feel better. Less painful. With his Byakugan activated, he charged forward. He was a lot faster than before. He quickly blocked lots of Rouge Ninja 1's chakra points, and used a kunai to create a bloody gash across his chest. Itauke kicked Rouge Ninja 1 down and sent the same kunai flying towards Rouge Ninja 2.

He ran towards him, but the ninja was ready. He jumped out of the way. He dashed towards Itauke, but with Byakugan Itauke saw him coming. He spun around. Rouge Ninja 2 had a little present waiting for him. He got a kunai knife lodged in his stomach, and a powerful kick to the face. The ninja was thrown back to where his friend was. He was about to finish the job, when he heard his sensei yell "STOP!"

Itauke stopped walking and turned around. Nao-Sensei was looking at Itauke like he had gone nuts.

"Hn," Itauke said, "why should I?"

His team mates were also staring at him, noticing his new power and what he was capable of. They each took a step back, while Nao took a step forward.

"How?" Nao-Sensei asked, "How did you do this?"

Itauke smirked. "I needed this power. Needed this power to become the strongest in my clan. To prove the Main Branch isn't everything!"

No one spoke. During this, Rouge Ninja 1 and Rouge Ninja 2 had disappeared.

Nao threw a kunai, but Itauke easily deflected it, landing an inch from Aya's foot. Itauke was about to walk away, when Nao ran from behind him, and hit his curse mark. The pain wailed. The curse mark retreated, causing the young Hyuga to collapse.
