Naruto 40,000: Chapter 7
It had been a week since they left. With four of the stronger ninjas gone, and no news heard, Tsunade had been getting worried. The warp hole had shut several minutes after Team NaruShikaLee had entered. ANBU had been studying the residue the warp hole left behind., searching for a way to recreate the gateway, but with no success. But they did discover one thing. Something had come through the hole to Konoha. Tsunade had seconded the search for whatever it was that came through, and had most of the ANBU concentrate on researching. Luckily for the Fifth, a Ninja team volunteered for the search, Group 8, Hinata, Shino, and Kiba. Tsunade granted them the request due to their awsome ability to gather information. So they had been searching for anything out of the ordinary, and so far nothing had been found, or even slightly detected, until now.….
Hinata saw something, something large and inhuman. She reached up to her neck and clicked the communicator. "Kiba, Shino, I may have found something, so I'm going to investigate it, I'll radio if I need help." She said, her voice full of confidence.
"Roger that Hinata, be careful. Me and Shino are coming just in case." Came Kiba's rough voice.
"Ya, we'll be there in a few minutes." Said Shino.
Hinata jumped off the roof she was standing on and landed in front of a celler door. The house was abandoned so she knew that it was safe to use any weapon without harming an innocent bystanderd, plus it was a little in the outskirts of Konoha. The celler doors creaked as she pulled them open, dust shot out of the dark tunnel. She coughed and brushed the dust out of the way. "Byakugon!" The tunnel became visible to her, seeing that nothing was there, no traps or anything, she proceeded downwards. The inhuman shape she detected, couldn't be seen, as if it was wearing a sort of shield, but it's presence was still felt. "Who's down here!" She shouted. No response. That might not have been too smart. She thought. There was a small rustle of metallic clanking. I wonder what it could be. She neared the bottom of the stairs, when there was a sudden click. The lights shot on. The celler was large enough to be a wine celler, but was empty, save a door on the back wall. Hinata kept her Byakugon activated in case of an attack she might not have seen coming. The shape seemed to just fade from her Byakugon, and it was gone, no presence, or outline. She had to see what was behind that door. As she walked nearer, her footsteps began sounding louder each time. She knew it was just a mental thing, but it made her try to lighten her already light steps. The wooden door's handle was beginning to rust. It squeaked as she turned it. And that's when she heard something like a roar of fury and she jumped backwards. The wooden door was shattered into small splinters straight down the center.
The darkness beyond the door was unnatural and her Byakugon couldn't see anything beyond it. A large footstep thudded from the door way. Out of the shadows came a massive metal boot. Followed by a leg with a darkened orange color, then the owner of the leg stepped into the light. Hinata gasped with shock. The thing in front of her stood at what she could tell, at least 8 feet. It was so wide that it had to step out side ways. Between two massive black shoulder guards, was a spiked helmet, the eyes a bright green, Hinata's reflection showed back at her. "Who are you?!" She said quietly, sinking into her gentle fist attack posture. There was something long in the things massive hand, with razor sharp serrated edges on it's front. The massive being stood straight up, revealing many odd looking symbols. "I am your death, just as your soul is to be my Lord's feast!" And at that, the large armoured warrior lunged at her. He was a blur of orange and black spikes. She quickly shot her hand forward hitting where a chakra point would be. The force of her blow sent the warrior staggering backwards. 'Such strength for one so pure…..Hm hm hm, you will be a delicious meal!" his voice boomed from the head piece. And for a fraction of a second, Hinata saw that it was a human in the armor, and he was a very corrupted one. With a flick of his thumb, the warrior activated his blade. The serrated teeth began to whir into life, and into a blur of motion as the blade roared. She saw that there was a feint red glow around it, as if something evil was within. The giant twirled around in a sweep, towards Hinata's waist. She jumped backwards avoiding the blow by mere inches. This person is very quick for being so big. She thought, trying to analyze it for a way of defeat. He started to laugh crazily as he stepped towards Hinata, and followed up with an upward swing. She pushed her palm up into his hand, cracking the gauntlets armor. The warrior hardly noticed and quickly brought it back down towards her. She flipped her other arm around and hit his forearm, knocking it towards his chest, pinning his other arm unusable for a counter attack. Using her speed to her advantage, she took out a kunai and stabbed down at his shoulder, where the armor was weakest. Before it could connect, it was smacked away by his chainsword. She flipped backwards, dodging his swing. Her hair fell in front of her face for a second before she blew it out of the way. His armor was cracked where she had hit him, but his blade still whirred with a bloodlust she had seen only once before, in the Kazekage's aura from when the were Genin. "What's the matter? You afraid to die young one?" He asked, bringing his blade to a parrying stance. She glared at him, not saying a word. After a moment of staring, she made a move.
Running towards the giant, she brought her arms up for a two handed attack, but the warrior saw it coming and swung his blade sideways. Her Byakugon allowed her to duck under the low blow, and she brought her hands up hard. They connected with the chin of the helmet. The warrior was knocked slightly into the air, his helmet flying off his head with the force of the blow. Then she heard a voice from outside, "Hinata! Where are you?" She recognized the voice as Kiba's. The giant landed with a thud, his helmet skittered across the floor with a screech. He looked up, and she saw a face that scared her. It was pale, shaven, scarred, and horned. Small sharp teeth were clenched with pain, and his eyes were a lifeless white. He smiled and looked upwards at the voice. "Seems like you're a lot tougher then you look, and if your friends are anything like you, I'll be in trouble, so I'm going to let you go, this time." He stood up and sprinted into the darkendroom, vanishing from her vision. She was panting due to the use of so much chakra in only a few blows. Her purplish hair stuck to her forehead, matted with sweat. The horned helmet was still across the room, but the giant warrior, was gone. She looked into the room, and turned the light on, there was no sign of him. Nor were there any ways of escape. "She's down there!" Came Kiba's voice. The sound of doors getting smashed in was heard. He ran down the stairs, Akamaru on his heels, and Shino his. "What happened Hinata?" He asked seeing her sweating, and panting. He glanced behind her and saw the splintered door. "I found out what it was that came through that warp hole." She was shaking as she said it. The vision of that mans face horrified her. "Alright, c'mon Hinata, let's go tell Tsunade about it." Said Shino. They walked back up the stairs, Hinata carrying the helmet in her arms. The green eye pieces sparkled when they stepped outside.
