*THUD*
The sound of a body falling to the ground echo in the allyway. Danzo stood over another dead Hyuuga with two more eyes in his hand.
"Need five more...", the war hawk growled as he blended into the shadows.
KONOHA FRONT GATE- 9 PM
It has been an uneventful night and the two guards at the front gate were bored. Currently Kotetsu and Izumo were waiting for the night shift to arrive so they could go have a drink. Staring at the clock on the wall of the guard shack, the two shinobi were not expecting a very large bird to slam on the ground in front of them. The landing caused a huge wave of dirt and dust to go in all directions. The two guards instantly pulled their weapons out, expecting a fight. What they saw were three kids standing at the window holding out their IDs. When asked their reason for visiting so late, Naruto responded.
"I got an urgent call from the Hokage about a friend of mine. I need to see if she is ok."
Kotetsu nodded while understanding their rush. "You may enter but you have to check in with the Hokage first, Izumo here will show the way."
Naruto knew the way but he didn't want to cause and incident on top of what happened to Hinata. After ten minutes of walking, Naruto and his team were outside the Hokage's office. Izumo knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Shortly after knocking they heard a rough 'enter' from behind the door. The brown haired ninja opened the door and mention a team from Uzu was here to see him, then he gave a small bow and left after hearing a 'thank you' from the old man. The three Uzumakis entered the room and looked at the elder Hokage, who was feeling his age. He then saw Naruto and perked up a bit but not enough because the news he was about to give was heavy.
"Naruto-kun please have a seat.", he said while motioning to a chair.
"I rather stand, jiji-san. Now please tell me what happened to Hinata-chan.", Naruto said with a hint of panic.
The Third sighed heavily before beginning. "Hinata was attacked earlier today by a man I killed myself. After she was beaten, the man took her eyes and left her for dead."
Naruto was releasing a powerful K.I., so powerful it made everyone in the room sick except the Hokage. One of the ANBU, hiding in the corner, rushed to the garbage can next to the Hokage's desk and threw up his lunch. Seeing the action, Sarutobi looked at Naruto and sighed again.
"Please Naruto calm down, Hinata is alive...also if you keep doing that I will need new guards.."
The blonde stopped releasing his K.I. and started panting, that is when everyone noticed his hair. Naruto's natural blonde hair, now had red parts in it. With its spiky nature, his hair almost looked like fire.
"Looks like you are gaining access to your bloodline Naruto-kun", said Karin with a smile.
He ignored her statement and walked closer to Sarutobi.
"Jiji, may I see her?", he asked in hushed voice.
The old man was heartbroken to see his adopted grandson's face with so much pain on it. He nodded before stating his instructions.
"You may see her Naruto-kun but your teammates will have to wait in the hall. Visiting hours are up and only family may stay over-night but I'll give you special permission to stay with her all the time."
He turned to the two girls, "I'll have a hotel room ready for you two in an hour."
They both nodded with a sad smile. Afterward, Sarutobi stood up and motioned for them to follow his lead.
HYUUGA COMPOUND-SEALING ROOM
Hiashi and all the elders gathered to make sure everything was ready for the sealing. One of the elders looked at his leader before talking.
"Hiashi-sama, you are doing the right thing. Without her sight anyone could have their way with her and produce Byakugan children."
The clan leader looked at the aging Hyuuga.
"I know that fool! Hinata was weak to begin with, I should've sealed her years ago and sent her with the demon but honor prevented me from doing so. After sealing Hinata, we will send her to the demon by a passing trade caravan."
The elders were shocked, not only was he getting rid of the weakest member of the clan but he was going to place her in a random caravan going to whirlpool.
"Hiashi-sama, what if they sell her as a slave and the demon finds out?", an elder with a long beard asked.
The Hyuuga leader scoffed, "how will he find out? We won't tell him that we are sending her...after all he is nothing more than a demon and she is nothing more than trash."
All the elders smirked at the idea, who would thought two problems would be solved in the same year?
KONOHA HOSPITAL-ROOM 315
The Hokage knocked and wait for a response, after a minute there was a muffled 'come in'. He and Naruto entered the room and saw Hinata sitting up looking in the direction of the door. Sarutobi looked at Naruto and saw the boy was in tears to see the sweetest girl with bandages over her eyes. He turned back to Hinata and started speaking.
"Hinata, I have a visitor for you."
He motioned Naruto to move closer to the bed. The flame haired ninja sat next to the bed and grabbed Hinata's hand gently causing her to 'EEP' and try to jerk away. The boy calmed her with one sentence.
"I missed you Hinata-chan."
The girl stopped moving and turned her head to the new voice.
"N-Naruto-kun?", she asked not believing her ears.
Tears were still running down his face as he responded in a half crying voice.
"Yea...it's me...Hinata-chan.."
Hearing him cry made her really sad, she was thinking that it was her fault she became blind. That it was her fault, Naruto is feeling guilt. That it was her fault for not running after Naruto.
All these thoughts and more were assulting her mind, making her cry. Once she started, she felt arms around her and knew it was Naruto. They cried together for five minutes before Hinata weakly started talking.
"I'm s-sorry N-Naruto-kun...I a-am weak and I-I paid the p-pr."
She was stopped when she felt something press against her lips. Feeling the boy's breathing on her face, she realized they were kissing. He didn't have to wait long for her to return the kiss. As they were kissing, the Hokage felt out of place and left the room. Once in the hall, he turned to his teammates and told them to fall him to the hotel.
Back inside the room, Hinata and Naruto separated from their first kiss. Hinata was on cloud nine, the boy she has like for five years finally returned her feelings. She was snapped out of her thoughts when he began to speak.
"Ever since I left Hinata-chan, you have not left my mind. As I was training a few weeks ago, it all came together...I love you, Hinata Hyuuga. Today when I heard you were hurt...I rushed here as fast as possible. Then I saw your...condition and it hit me hard..I want to hunt the bastard down for what he did and return your beautiful eyes."
Hearing his confessions made Hinata's heart swell with love. Not only did Naruto worry over her but he wants to get revenge for her too.
He continued, "Hinata-chan, I want you to come back with me. I don't care what your father says, I know for a fact that he will not treat you right."
Tears soaked her head dressing as she nodded.
"I want to be by your side Naruto-kun...blind or not, if you will have me.", she said with a raspy voice from crying.
He kissed her lips with another passionate kiss.
Afterward, he backed up some and smiled, "does that tell you my answer?"
For the first time in days, the young Hyuuga smiled. Naruto seeing her smile noticed two things. One, her head dressings were soaking wet with blood and tears and two, she didn't stutter her last sentence. The teen got up and walked to one of the cabinets and found a roll of bandages and went back to Hinata.
"Hinata-chan, please keep your eyes closed..I'm going to try and replace your dressings..ok?"
She nodded while trying to stay completely still. He removed her dressing and cleaned her face before placing two cotton pads over her eyes and wrapping the new bandages around her head. When he was done, the flame haired boy leaned over and kissed her cheek, making her blush.
He looked at a clipboard that was left on her nightstand, most likely by mistake, before talking.
"Get some rest Hinata-chan, according to this, you are leaving tomorrow. If it's true, we will go by your house and pack your bags. Don't worry about your clan, if they give us trouble they will have to answer to me."
His confidence made her smile and she snuggled into her blanket while holding his right hand.
"Good night Naruto-kun, I love you."
He kissed her forehead before replying, "good night Hinata-hime, I love you too."
HYUUGA COMPOUND GATES-7AM
Hiashi walked out of the compound with several branch members and all of the elders in tow. Today was the day, they redeemed the clan from weakness. It was the day Hinata gets branded and banished from the household. The medium size group walked through town gaining the attention of three Jonin senseis. One was a woman with red eyes and the other two were men. One of the men was tall with black hair and had a cigarette in his mouth while the other one and silver hair with his headband covering his left eye.
"Damn, they are already moving...I have to warn Hinata", stated the woman.
Before she could run off the hospital, she was stopped by the tall black haired man.
"Relax Kurenai, Hinata is safe...besides she's not at the hospital.", he said with a smile.
She looked at him in disbelief before replying.
"What do you mean not at the hospital?"
The silver haired man decided to chime in, "because she is right there with that flame headed boy."
Following the man's finger, she saw Hinata with bandages around her eyes being lead through the crowd by a boy that looked like Naruto. Without thinking Kurenai rushed toward the pair and pulled them toward the Jonin group.
"Who are you and why are you with Hinata, she should be in the hospital!", demanded the genjutsu mistress.
The boy laughed before he tapped his headband. Kurenai looked at it and saw a circle with a swirl in it. She instantly knew who he was.
"Naruto!?", all three asked/stated in shock.
The boy smiled at the adults. "That's my name and being a ninja is my game."
The silver haired man decided to ask him what they all were thinking.
"Naruto what happened to your hair?"
This was the first time Hinata heard of it and began to panic. Naruto embraced her and rubbed her back while she was feeling his hair to find the change.
"The reason why there is red in it is because I am starting to activate my bloodline, once it is fully active, my hair will be red like Kushina's. Before you ask, the reason I have to 'activate' my bloodline is because my father wasn't an Uzumaki. Hybrids have to work hard to activate it...well, it's a theory anyway."
The group chuckled at his statement.
"So where are you two going Naruto?, asked the man with the black hair.
He looked at Sarutobi's son and responded, "well, Sarutobi-sensei, we were going to Hinata's house to pack her bags. I'm taking her back to Uzu with me to make sure she is taken care of and to make sure she is safe."
All three looked at him with serious looks now.
Kurenai replied, "Naruto...that's kidnapping a Konoha kunoichi and a clan member. I hate to say this, but I can't allow you to continue."
"But I can", replied a new voice.
The group turned to see the Third Hokage with a big smile on his face.
"I won't allow them to use a forbidden seal on a innocent member of the Uzumaki Clan.", he continued.
Everyone's mind was stumped especially Naruto's and Hinata's.
"What do you mean member of the Uzumaki Clan, Jiji?" ,the flame haired ninja asked.
"I found an old deal to the Uzumaki Clan, saying that anyone in the Uzumaki Clan may marry anyone in Konoha for all the members they lost in the war protecting this village. Whether they are in a clan or not, no questions asked."
He pulled out an old scroll and handed it to Naruto, after reading it, the boy had a big smile on his face.
The old man finished, "According to this deal, if you pick Hinata, she can be your wife...all we have to do is file the paperwork."
Naruto turned to Hinata before talking.
"Hinata-hime, what do you think? Do you want to marry me?"
Almost instantly she embraced him yelling 'YES' repeatedly at the top of her lungs. Not noticing that her embrace was getting tighter and tighter.
"H-Hinata-h-hime...air..ne-eed...ox..y...gen...", he said as his face turned blue.
"Hinata release your fiance, you don't want him to be dead before..." ,she said before whispering in the girl's ear, turning her face red.
The blind girl released Naruto, he fell on the ground with a loud *THUD*. The antics made all the adults laugh, Naruto's eyes were swirls and he was unconscious on the ground.
"Well, if you wake Naruto-kun, we can get these papers signed and filed before brunch.", said the Hokage with a smile.
"Did someone say brunch?", Naruto's head shot up looking around the group, making everyone laugh again.
Helping the poor boy up, the Third asked, "you will never change, will you Naruto?"
The young Uzu ninja just laughed sheepishly as they started walking toward the Hokage's office.
HOKAGE'S OFFICE- 8:30AM
Sarutobi sighed happily as he put the last paper in the file.
"Well I'm sorry this wasn't a large ceremony but I now pronounce you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
Both young teens blushed and they leaned closer and embraced each other's lips with their own. This was the third time since their love was official, that they shared a passionate kiss. The third time and they were already married, Hinata couldn't be happier...well having eyesight would be the only thing to make this better. Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi couldn't help but to feel jealous, they were adults and still single and here was two teens getting married. Fortunately for them, they didn't have to think on it too long as the door to the office slammed open and the room was flooded with Hyuuga.
"Hokage-sama, why is Hinata here and not in the hospital?", asked Hiashi in a demanding tone.
The old man looked at him with a smug smile. "The way I see it Hiashi, it's none of your concern of her where-abouts. If you must know, she was spending the day with her husband."
He motioned to the familiar looking flame haird boy.
"She had no right to get married without my permission, i demand the marriage be annulled!", Hiashi said while losing his cool.
"According to a deal this village made to the Uzumaki Clan, says otherwise.", he responded as he tossed a copy of the deal to the Hyuuga leader.
After reading it, he threw the scroll at the Hokage. The scroll was caught by the old man and laid on the desk.
"Fine she can marry the demon but she is still going to be sealed", he said while running through hand signs with lightning speed.
Before anyone could react, the Hyuuga was at the blind girl and was about to touch her when he was slammed into the door of the room with his hand touching his face. Everyone looked at the one responsible, it was Naruto but his appearance was different. His once flame colored, short hair was now running down his back with a full red color. The thing that shocked everyone the most was his eyes, they were multicolored with a ripple design on them (going with the colored manga style).
"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER!", Naruto yelled as he motioned his hand to pull Hiashi toward him.
Once he was within arm's length of Naruto, the new redhead slammed a fist into the older man's ribcage, breaking a few ribs with a loud snapping sound. Hearing the noise, all the Hyuuga members tried to rush Naruto but were thrown through the wall with Hiashi and into the hall by a unseen force. Naruto's teammates were down the hall, heading to the office when they saw a lot of men thrown through the wall. Quickly rushing into the office they saw Naruto standing up with his hands up, like he was commanding people to stop. His long red hair going down to his waist surprised the girls but what really shocked them were the eyes.
"T-The Rinnegan...",said Karin with a dry voice.
