As Naruto walked with his prisoner, he couldn't wait to get back to the Konoha to see Hinata. As Kobayashi looked at Naruto he couldn't believe that someone like Naruto defeated him easily.
"I can't understand how someone who cries at night have all those marvelous skills" said Kobayashi?
"Shut the hell up! I don't know what you're talking about" as Naruto walked up to the handcuffed villain.
"Hinata don't die, I love you, please stay with me! Lee I will kill you for doing this to the love of my life! I won't rest till I see you dead, as he tried to imitate a whiny Naruto. Who was Hinata your girlfriend who got killed on a mission" as Kobayashi started to laugh at the great Naruto Uzumaki?
"Did you say I was dreaming? But I don't remember having a dream for the last two days and why did you say Lee" as Naruto stopped dead in his tracks?
"Wasn't he the one who killed the love of your life? I bet she got just what she deserved, I'm glad that your woman is dead, I hope he had his way with her before she kicked the bucket" as he looked Naruto in the eyes and started laughing.
Naruto quickly punched him dead in his mouth, as Kobayashi fell from the blow he looked up at an angry Naruto.
"Next time you open that mouth about Hinata it will be a kunai in that pie hole of yours instead of a fist" as Naruto showed only wrath toward his captured enemy!
"So you can be provoked easily like they say why you don't release me and we can have another battle. I'm pretty sure the results will be different this time" as Kobayashi wiped the blood away from his mouth with his shoulder.
"Yeah the different result will be you being killed by me" as Naruto picked him up by his collar and forced him to walk to their destination.
"I don't remember having any dreams since I left the village and yet he said Hinata's name. Then he mentions Lee name and says that she was killed by him, this just can't be a coincidence" as Naruto started to really think about the situation at hand?
"Naruto who are the ones that sent you after me?"
"You know who sent me, after all the murders you committed you knew your days were numbered" as Naruto now started to become annoyed by his questions.
"All I know is that somebody paid me to come down here and start a lot of trouble, I never killed anyone my presence alone causes fear. All I did was rough up a couple of jonins and the next thing I know it's you trying to capture me and put me in a cell. I never killed anyone and when the murders took place I wasn't even in that village, I had arrived four days later. I'm being setup but I don't know why" as Kobayashi refused to move until Naruto listened to him.
"Okay I'll bite, where were you coming from" as Naruto looked at his prisoner?
"Jai King Province".
"Can you prove it" asked Naruto?
"Yeah I have a wife and kid that live there; it was his birthday when the murders occurred. I was four days travel away on foot" said Kobayashi.
"You have a wife and child and you're nothing but a murderer for hire" as Naruto looked disgusted by what he told him?
"We all are ninjas; the price for assassination pays more than regular missions. I want the best for my family and for others to die so they can live content is something I can live with" as he stood nose to nose with Naruto as gave a glare of death.
"Don't you think you put your family at grave risk for your actions you caused to others? They will definitely come after your family for revenge if they can't kill you" said Naruto.
"Don't you think I know that? That's why I don't tell anyone I have a family; I don't even know why I told you? For some reason I 'm telling you and I don't know why, just check into what I'm saying and you'll see I'm telling you the truth" as his eyes were pleading for Naruto's help.
Naruto could tell that he was telling the truth by his chakra and body language, he decided to drop him off at the Konoha jail cell and head over to his fiancée bridal shower when he arrived at the village. He didn't know why the women invited the men to a bridal shower but he decided to go with the flow. As they headed to the Konoha, Naruto couldn't shake the feeling that there was some kind of setup taking form and he was starting to wonder if it was part of the curse forming his fate.
As Sakura, Tenten, Ino, Hanabi, Anko and a host of other female ninjas arrived at the Hyuuga compound to help celebrate the engagement of the young couple. As they all arrived, everyone told stories on how she was always so shy to talk to him and how dense Naruto was as a kid. As they all laughed at how the young couple became the most feared in the five countries and now they were planning their future together. As one of the Hyuuga's servant came into the room with a couple of glasses of wine on a tray, the young women all rushed to get their hands on the wine.
"Man the Hyuuga's really do know how to get the good stuff; this is imported from the Land of Lightening. This is why I made it my mission to be here" as Anko grabbed two glasses.
"So tell me Hinata when you get married in two weeks right before your birthday, what if Naruto forget both in the future" as Sakura began to laugh?
"Naruto would never forget something like that our anniversary and my birthday" as she took up for her fiancée!
"Relax Hinata Sakura was just kidding, what time is Nana coming to the party? And why did you invite the men to join? They aren't going to invite us to their bachelor party for Naruto" said Ino!
"I wanted everyone to share in me and Naruto's happiest moment, plus I want to show Naruto the wonderful gifts you all have given us. That's why he decided not to have a bachelor party and that we would combine the two" as Hinata smiled at everyone.
"Or you just didn't want some stripper shaking her butt in front of Naruto's face" as Ino began to chuckle!
"That too" as Hinata began to laugh along with her friend.
As Naruto finally made it to the village, he took his prisoner straight to the holding cell until the Land of Rice ninjas come and pick up Kobayashi the Cruel in a couple of days.
"So you defeated him, I knew he wouldn't be able to handle some one of your skills" said the chunin from the Land of Rice.
"Yeah I guess so, what is your name by the way "asked Naruto?
"Trammel is my name, first and last" as he smiled at Naruto.
"That was quick, I haven't even talked to the Hokage yet and your right here when I bring him in. what are you going to do now that he's locked up"?
"Well he has to pay for his crimes, so they will send at least six jonins and some chunin to handle him" said Trammel.
"When did he come to your village and start trouble" asked Naruto?
"Around one week ago" said Trammel.
"That can't be right; he was not in the country when the murders occurred! He was right the murders started four days before he arrived, who put in the order for Kobayashi's capture" as Naruto headed back to the holding cell?
As he was stopped by his friends, they quickly surrounded him to get ready for the party. As he tried to explain that he had to return to the holding cell to ask Kobayashi more questions, they told Naruto that his detainee would be held for at least another three days. As Naruto knew that this was important to Hinata he decided to talk to Kobayashi after the party, he told his friends let him go home and wash up and change and talk to Tsunade.
As Hanabi and Konohamaru walked through the door they were quickly hugged by all of Hinata's friends. As Hanabi told Konohamaru to go find some tape to stick the card on the gift box for Hinata, she quickly left to get a small glass of wine for them.
"You know that you're not allowed to drink Hanabi" as Sakura halted her from pouring a glass.
"I know but since it's a special occasion I figured it would be okay, since I am on Hyuuga property and a Hyuuga and not some free loader who barely knows my sister" as she removed Sakura's hand from the wine glass.
Sakura really didn't feel like arguing with Hanabi so she removed her hands and decided to let her father catch her since he was coming.
As Konohamaru left the red gift package on the table to get some tape for the card, everyone heard him mumbling under his breath about something but couldn't understand him.
"Stupid Hanabi always got to get even with somebody, can never be the bigger person. Nooo… she wants to embarrass Hinata over what happened a couple of days ago. The things I put up with just to look at a naked body, hell we never even had sex and I'm already have to deal with over protective relatives that want to put me in the grave. Why would she buy a fifteen inch dildo? Just so she can see her pass out in front of her friends. Little freak, I really wonder if the sex is really worth it for me to lose my pride" as Konohamaru kept mumbling?
As Nana Hyuuga walked in she was rushed by all of the young women in the room, as she placed her red rectangular gift box next to Hanabi and Konohamaru's red rectangular gift, she gave them all tender hugs. As Konohamaru came back into the room he placed the card on the red gift box, unfortunately he placed the card on Nana Hyuuga gift by accident. As Konohamaru walked away he walked over to the couch and sat down to wait on the other guys to come to the party. As Nana Hyuuga looked down she picked up Hanabi's gift and walked over to the bride to be. As all the women came over to talk to the elder Hyuuga she told them how proud she was of Hinata and Naruto.
As Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Kiba and Lee all met at the front of the Hyuuga compound, they were all greeted by Hiashi. As they began to talk about being invited to a bridal shower, they all felt a little uncomfortable because they as men never been to one.
"Hey guys I know everyone bought gifts for Hinata but just you coming here is special enough for us. I can't believe that Nana Hyuuga is even giving up her knitting tools to Hinata so she can practice being a mother by knitting sweaters and motherly things" as Naruto drew a blank on what else could be knitted.
"What? She loves those knitting needles, she must really love Hinata to give her those for a present" said Shikamaru.
Everyone agreed that Hinata was special to receive her knitting needles.
As they headed to the house they were greeted by everyone, Hinata came and gave everyone a hug but felt scared to come close to Kiba because of her dream. As they guys all came over to have a glass of wine, their girlfriends and special friends came to greet them. Shikamaru noticed that Temari had made it and came over to him and placed a kiss on his lips, many of the girls started bellowing loud high pitch shrieks because of the public affection. Both of them turned crimson red and couldn't make eye contact.
"Well what do you know one drink and Temari can be had" as Ino started laughing.
As everyone sat around the couch and drunk the most enchanting wine they ever tasted, many reminisced about how Naruto and Hinata got together. Shikamaru told the story on how it happened and how Naruto was afraid to approach Hinata.
"Naruto had just returned from the war, he defeated both the Uchiha's and many nations gave him medals for his services as a shinobi who fought with fearlessness and complete bravery. When he returned he came to see me, he had quite the female followers and was scared to go out in public because of the fan girls he required. As he came into my house the first thing he asked me was Hinata dating anyone. At the time I thought she was dating Kiba, so I told Naruto about it. Unfortunately I was wrong and I listened to the gossiper of the village. As Shikamaru looked at Ino, who twitched for giving him bad information at the time. I saw that he was hurt and that his spirits was crushed, if we all know Naruto that's an impossible task to bring down his spirit and yet the thought of Hinata going with someone else did it. I saw the way he was looking so I took him out to the ramen shop my treat to cheer him up, as we arrived at the ramen shop we saw Iruka sitting there placing an order. As we joined him Iruka knew from the start that something was bothering Naruto, he asked me what was wrong with him. I quickly explained his feelings for Hinata and he smiled, saying that he finally seen the light. As Naruto was sitting down three young women came in and asked Naruto for a picture and autograph, he barely smiled and but did it for the young women any way. As they jumped on him and kissed him against his will, Hinata walked passed by the restaurant she saw Naruto in an uncompromising position with the women. As she left Naruto happened to see her and walked after her.
"I'll take it from here Shikamaru" as Naruto smiled at his best friend.
"I saw her and ran after her; I didn't have clue to what I was going to say or more how to start the conversation. As I ran up to her she seemed a little upset with me, as I tried to say something to her, her first words were" shouldn't I get back to my entourage of women". I was so shaken at those words I almost went back to the ramen shop and drown my sorrow in the ramen but something told me to stay by her side. As I tried desperately to talk to her I started to feel like a double-crossing fool, Kiba was my friend and I decided to leave well enough alone. Then she said something that startled me" did you even miss me a little"?
I was so shocked I told her what was in my heart. You were the only thing I ever thought about when I was out on the front lines, it was your compassion, your smile and just you that I wanted to come back to. I lay at night thinking if I survived this war that I would let you know how I felt, that it was you that gave me courage to do the impossible. All that I become was due to the fact you had my heart and I can't seem to get you off my mind. Before I knew it she envelope me with a kiss that made the god of love blush, as we stood their kissing it came to me... Kiba. I told her that I was sorry and that I didn't mean to try and break up her and Kiba and I tried to leave, she quickly grabbed my hand and stopped me. She told me that she and Kiba were just good friends and that everybody only assumed they were dating and then she planted another kiss on me. I knew right then and there she was the one I was supposed to be with" as Naruto finish how they finally got together.
As everyone smiled at the tale of the two, Sakura looked at Hinata and felt a little jealous of her. Sakura quickly told Hinata to open up her bridal shower gifts. As Ino was by the table all the girls sat around Hinata on the huge couch so they could see what she received from her friends. As Tenten got up she handed her a gift from Sakura, as Sakura smiled at Hinata she couldn't wait for her to show her the present she got her. As Hinata gently opened the box she pulled out a long beautiful silk dress that was jet black with a red print that was deep red, even the men were in awe of that dress.
"Wow Hinata you will look gorgeous in that dress, you'll look so good Naruto may want you to remove it" as Ino laughed at Hinata who blushed at that comment.
Hiashi on the other hand gave such an icy unnerving stare it shut Ino up completely.
As Tenten handed her another package it was from Shikamaru who passed it over to Hinata. As she opened it she looked at him very puzzled. It was a ramen and noodle maker, all the women looked at Shikamaru as if he lost his mind. Hinata smiled and thanked Shikamaru for the gift. Tenten noticed that Neji walked through the door; she went to greet her boyfriend with a warm embrace. As Hinata was about to get up and get another present Nana Hyuuga stopped her and asked her to open her present. All of the men knew it was her prize possession, her knitting needles. Once again Hinata gently removed the wrapping, as she lightly lifted up the wooden box lid, Hinata and her friends stood there stunned. They could not believe that Nana Hyuuga had personally handed Hinata a fifteen inch penis prosthetic. All the girls looked at the dildo and were embarrassed for Hinata on the strange gift; she quickly slammed the wooden box lid down. None of the men seen what was inside the box since they were a couple feet away but they knew it was Nana Hyuuga's knitting tools.
"Surprised aren't you Hinata? That right there what you have in the box is three generations old starting with my great grandmother and I'm letting you have it" as she smiled at her adopted grandchild.
"You had that for three generations? What's in the box you had for three generations" as Sakura eyes almost bulged out when Nana Hyuuga said that?
"Yes it kept me very entertained and my hands busy, I never knew such pleasure and fulfillment as when I worked with my favorite tool" as Nana Hyuuga smiled at Sakura.
"I'll bet" said Ino as she looked at Hinata holding the box!
"I know it looks old but it will get the job done" as Nana Hyuuga looked at Hinata.
"What made you think that Hinata… you know would need something like that" asked a very confused Kurenai?
Nana eyes showed a little hurt in them.
"I thought since Naruto like to see me use it, I figured he would like to watch his soon to be wife use it" as Nana looked at Kurenai.
"WHAT"! Screamed Hinata as she flew back on the couch in a state of shock with everyone else!
"You mean Naruto actually watched you use that before" as Anko eyes became bigger and a smiled appeared on her face.
"Of course, not only Naruto but Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, Konohamaru, Lee, they watch me for hours as I go to work" as she looked at Anko.
"Shikamaru is this true" asked Temari?
"Yeah it relaxing to see and old fashion invention put to work, I was going to get you one so the ways of this lost art form can be carried on" as he smiled at his girlfriend.
"You want me to have one of those? I mean you really really want to give me one of those" as Temari was feeling like Hinata at the minute and wanted to pass out?
"I know that you never done anything like that before but I will help you out until you get the hang of it" as Shikamaru grabbed a glass of wine and winked at Temari.
Temari looked as though she was having an out of body experience right about now, she didn't think that Shikamaru was such a sexual freak behind closed doors. He actually told everyone that he would help her use the dildo. Every woman that was around Hinata was so flabbergasted about every word that came out of Naruto and Shikamaru's mouth.
"I wanted to get something like that for Ino but I figured you wouldn't like it" as Choji grabbed a piece of cake.
Ino smiled" thank you Choji" as she blew a kiss at him.
"I figure it would be a waste of money, Ino wouldn't know where to begin or where to put it. And she would probably be confused for hours" as he started laughing and so did the other guys.
Ino turned so red from embarrassment on that statement she just put her head down and covered her face. Hinata looked at all the men and couldn't believe they were a bunch of sexual deviants watching an old lady masturbate. She looked at her father and gave a help me glare. Her father picked up on it and smiled at his eldest daughter.
"Don't worry Hinata I'm pretty sure Nana will teach you what to do, heck I watched her do it and it gives her a deep pride, maybe she will show you how to use it the correct way" as he looked at Hinata.
"Yes of course I'll teach her, heck I taught her mother it's only natural I teach the daughter" as Nana looked at Hiashi.
Anko looked at Hinata and shook her head.
"Who knew that Hiashi was such a perv? I'm starting to like the way he looks" thought Anko.
"Look Hinata when I become Hokage I'll be working long hours and this will help pass the time away until I get home. This way you want be bored" as Naruto turned his attention to Hanabi and Tenten who reentered the room.
"Naruto won't that defeat the purpose of me and you spending quality time together"? Asked Hinata.
"It's not like you're going to be doing it twenty –four- seven, do it for three or four hours and then we will have plenty of quality time when I get home" as Naruto looked puzzled at Hinata on how strange she was acting on yarning needles.
"You want me to do this for three or four hours and then…." As she kept quiet not wanting to say anything more.
"Look I was just saying you could use the practice that's all, use how much time you think you'll need" as he smiled at his soon to be wife.
Hinata thought it would be better to go to the next gift. Hanabi didn't expect for her father to be at this party, she figured he was too dignified to show up to something like this. She moved toward her gift she was going to give her sister, so her father wouldn't see what she bought Hinata. Konohamaru noticed what she was doing to and was glad that she was removing her gift. As she got close enough to grab it, Tenten took the gift and handed it to Hinata. Hanabi mentally started cussing in her head; Konohamaru looked all over the room for an exit strategy to get away from Neji and her father. As Hinata smiled at Hanabi she got up and hugged her.
"This is from my little sister, thank you I know I'll love it" as Hinata gently unwrapped her gift.
As Hinata pulled out a pair of knitting needles all the men were confused.
"Hey Hanabi gave the same gift as Nana Hyuuga" said Choji!
"Those are mines! How did you get those Hanabi" yelled Nana Hyuuga!
"Wait so what was in the other package" asked Naruto?
Tenten grabbed the box off the table and opened it and pulled out a large rubber penis in her hand. All the men looked at Hanabi and Konohamaru.
"Hey this came from Sex You Like store, this is what Hanabi and Konohamaru were buying in the store I seen them at that day" yelled Tenten!
"You're dead Sarutobi! I warned you! I told you! Now you are about to find out fat does mean greasy" as Neji turned around to strike Konohamaru!
Konohamaru disappeared like the wind leaving Hanabi all by herself.
Hinata started to laugh uncontrollably, then Temari and then Ino. They remembered all what the love of their lives said and how they reacted to it. Shikamaru thought about it and so did they rest of the guys and they joined in with the ladies, they all thought the same thing. This is a party no one will ever forget and that even a misunderstanding can cause joy and laughter. As they calmed down Hinata continued to open the gifts she received.
As the party died down Sakura walked over toward Lee to talk in private.
"Get away from Sakura right now! We are no longer a couple and we definitely are no longer friends! You betrayed me the first moment you could for your precious Uchiha. Be with that traitor but stay the at least a hundred feet away from me" as Lee showed anger that she never seen before in him.
"Lee the report was misleading; I didn't betray your trust! You have to believe me" as Sakura was pleading to be heard.
"Three jonin saw you healing him and then kissing that traitor, four chunin saw the same, five genin reported the same! Anko, Kurenai and Genma are all lying on you because each one has an evil agenda against Sakura Haruno! You would've never told me, if the Hokage wouldn't put together a special team to bring Sasuke to justice you would've kept that little secret to yourself. As I read the file every line broke my heart, you saved his life and for a reward he let you kiss him? Everyone told me you were never over him but I like a fool believed otherwise, I wondered why the Hokage didn't put you on the special task force to bring him to justice now I know why" as Lee took a sip of wine!
"He kissed me, I didn't kiss him! It's true I shouldn't have healed him but I just couldn't let him die in front of me" yelled Sakura!
"Yeah right, he tried to kill Naruto what around nine or ten times? You won't be happy till you see us all dead and that son of a bitch standing on our corpses" as Lee took another drink!
"Lee" shouted Sakura!
"None of you women can be trusted, I seen Hinata holding Kiba's hand and she is supposed to be the Naruto's great love in life? Yeah right, they act like they are destined lovers and all but when it comes down to it, she will betray Naruto in the end just like the woman in front of me" as Lee slammed down his drink on the floor!
"Lee your drunk, please I'm sorry for upsetting you, I'll leave you alone. Please don't ruin Naruto and Hinata's party" as she looked at her hurt lover's eyes.
"What's the matter Lee, Sakura" asked Naruto as he came to check on what the screaming was about?
"Naruto are you sure you want to be married? The first chance they get they betray you and don't think Hinata is any different, ask her about her and Kiba's little rendezvous. See if she tells you the truth" as Lee looked at Naruto!
"You mean the rendezvous when she met you and Kiba training and he wanted to see if she was alright and they had lunch at one of the small diners' downtown" said Naruto?
"Figures you would be so lucky to get a faithful woman, the son of the Fourth Hokage, war hero, soon to be husband and future Hokage of the village. And what do I get? A lying ass cheater, how come you're the one who get to have his dreams come true? I never been envious of anyone but you Naruto make it hard not to be jealous" as he walked up on Naruto!
"Hey now Lee, let's get you home so you can sleep this off, things will look better in the morning" as Neji calmed him down.
Shikamaru walked in with Neji to make sure things didn't escalate any further; he knew when Lee drinks even Naruto had the hardest time containing him. As Lee left with Neji, Naruto and Shikamaru left the compound so the women could enjoy the rest of the party.
"Hey Shikamaru could you walk over to the Konoha jail with me to question an inmate?" I think he's innocent" as Naruto" started to walk away from the Hyuuga compound.
"Sure I don't mind" said his best friend.
As Naruto told him all the information that was giving to him by Kobayashi the Cruel, Shikamaru thought that things didn't add up. As they approached Konoha jail, they asked to question Kobayashi.
"Sorry but some ninjas came about twenty minutes ago and picked him up" said the young chunin.
"Wait he wasn't scheduled to leave for another three days, who authorize this and where did the ninjas come from to get him" said Shikamaru?
"Let's see Tsunade released him and the ninjas stayed at a hotel until Naruto arrived with his prisoner" said the chunin.
"Trammel asked Tsunade to release Kobayashi" said Naruto?
"No, he's just a chunin, the warlord and proprietor of a small village on the outskirts in the Land of Rice called Golan sent word to have him released to his ninjas. He sent his ninjas to take care of Kobayashi to bring him to their holding facility. Tsunade approved it since we don't have the man power right now, don't worry Kobayashi will get a fair trial. The Land of Rice prides themselves on justice" said the young chunin.
"Something not right, they paid me to escort him back to their village and now they send some jonins instead? Kobayashi said that someone paid him but he didn't know who, do you think this is part of the curse? To show if I'm strong enough to take him down, to evaluate my abilities" asked Naruto?
Shikamaru knew things really didn't add up now, everything was agreed upon when Naruto took the mission. Now everything has been changed in one night, he started to think maybe it was the curse taking effect.
Next Sakura's Betrayal
The truth and the curse grows stronger every day.
