Chapter 9

Naruto made his way to Hinata' mindscape and soon found himself in the familiar wooded area of her mindscape. Upon entering he heard a loud crash. He looked around and realized that the sound came from the training area. He started to make his way there to see what was going on.

"Well Hinata, Naruto must have fixed the seal, over the past few hours your concentration went though the roof. The technique that you were having so much trouble with seems much easier for you to perform now." Megumi commented.

"I think your right." Hinata responded "things that I had a hard time understanding seem easier now. I just hope my chakra is back to normal."

"I'm sure it is. Yoko wouldn't let Naruto mess with the seal unless he was sure Naruto was ready."

"Yes your right. But I wonder when he'll be back." Hinata asked.

Suddenly Hinata heard a voice whisper from behind her "you wonder when who will be back?" it asked.

Hinata turned around faster than a blink on the eye and shouted "NARUTO!" and put him in a bone-crushing hug.

"Heh Heh I missed you to!" Naruto with a strain in his voice.

"Ummm Hinata I think he has to breathe."

"So sorry." Hinata said as she let go of her boyfriend. "So how did you know we were here?" she asked.

"Well it kind of hard to miss a loud crash." Naruto replied jokingly. "What was that anyway?"

"Oh it was just that attack I showed you the other day when I first told you about tai chi…… only a little more powerful." She replied.

At this Naruto just noticed that there were no trees in the area and only thing that was there was splinters all over the surrounding ground. 'She calls that a LITTLE more powerful?!' Naruto thought. "Oh I see. So you were training."

"Yes. So how did everything go? "

"Everything is great. Your seal is fixed and everything!" Naruto said in excitement.

"Thank you! Did you learn anything other and how to fix the seal?" Hinata asked curiously.

"Nothing much. Learning about sealing is hard so it took up just about all my time, but I did learn a jutsu that the forth made called rasangan. The sealing need to have a lot of control and the excises that you do while learning rasangan really helped out."

"Can I see it?" Hinata asked hopefully.

"Sure! "Naruto said with excitement and extended his hand. Soon afterwards Hinata a sphere of chakra spinning violently in Naruto's palm.

"Amazing! It looks powerful!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Oh it is!" Naruto assured her as he slammed it in a nearby boulder, turning it into rubble.

"Hold on Naruto. That isn't a jutsu that someone could just learn in such a short amount of time. Plus you were learning about sealing. How did you learn that?" Megumi asked.

"Oh there was a seal on me that hindered my intellect. After it was removed learning how to do it was I bit easier." Naruto explained. "You want me to show you how to do it?" He asked Hinata and Megumi.

"Yes can you teach me? Hinata asked hopefully.

"There is no need to teach me." Megumi said as she extended her hand and made a perfect rasangan.

"H-HOW THE HELL?! Naruto shouted.

"Honestly is it really that much of a surprise?" Megumi asked, "I've been around for a loooooooong time I can look at a technique see how it works." She explained.

"Wow so I guess you'll teach Hinata? He asked.

"NO I want you to teach me!" Hinata interrupted.

At this Megumi laughed. "Well I wasn't going to. I wouldn't dream of stealing time away from your precious Naruto." Megumi smirked as Hinata blushed.

"I'll teach you when we get outta here. Which would be soon. I only came here to suggest keeping what we learned here secret. " Naruto asked.

"But why?" Hinata asked in surprise and disappointment.

" Well we are ninja it's always a good thing to keep a few secrets." Naruto explained.

"He does make a point Hinata. It would be good if you didn't let your new skills out unless absolutely necessary." Megumi agreed.

"But I wanted to show father that I'm worthy to be his daughter." Hinata said sadly.

"Hinata your father expects perfection, something that is impossible, and you shouldn't have to prove you are worthy to him." Naruto said. "But you could show that you improve a bit after a while."

""Yes your right" Hinata admitted sadly.

"Oh come on Hinata no need to be sad. You're a ninja having secrets is what ninja are all about. You'll have a chance to show what your made of, But until then you shouldn't just show off your moves people could find a way to counter, or copy it." Naruto said.

"Your right. I'm sorry Naruto. I was letting my drive to show everyone I'm not weak cloud my judgement." Hinata admitted.

"Hinata it's good to let people think you're weak when you're really not." Megumi said. "That way you'll be underestimated."

Hinata nodded. " So when will we come out of our mindscapes? She asked.

" As soon as Naruto gets back into his mindscape I'll be able to cut the connection and wake you." Megumi answered.

"Well I guess I better get going. I'll see you when we wake up Hinata." Naruto said as he left.

BACK IN THE REAL WORLD

Kurenai and Kakashi were in a meeting with doctor Shinji. "Doctor we've been donating chakra for 3 days isn't there any improvement? Kurenai asked.

"No there isn't any. Their bodies have recovered. But the damage to the brain may make it impossible to for them to ever wake up." The doctor answered. "Listen I know this is hard but….. I'm afraid that if they were going to come out of this they would have by now. It may be for the best to just let them go. We are using resources on two people who will most likely never recover."

Kurenai sat there shocked beyond words. "I understand doctor. You have other people who could use the resources that are being used on Naruto. He has no legal parents so as his sensei--" Kakashi said as a single tear rolled out his eye. "As his sensei I give you permission to……"

"I understand. We did all we could for him, but it wasn't enough." The doctor said while turning to Kurenai. Miss yuhi I'm going to have to call her father to get permission to take Hinata' support system off." Kurenai just nodded.

"Doctor could we see them one least time? Kakashi asked sadly

"Of course." The doctor answered while standing up and showing them out his office. Upon exiting Kurenai and Kakashi gathered the remaining team 7 and 8 explained what was going to happen. And sadly made their way to the intensive care unit.

HHINATAS MINDSCAPE

Hinata and Megumi were standing at the door that led to Naruto' mindscape.

Well it's been 15 minutes. He should be in his mindscape by now." Megumi said. "You ready?"

"Yes."

Hearing the answer Megumi put a hand on the door, and it immediately vanished as though it wasn't there. "Well I guess it's time for you to wake up. I'll be able to talk to you in your mind, if you need anything just ask. Oh and just think about what you want to say and I'll hear it. It would be a bit crazy to other people to see you talking to no one."

"Ok, I'll hear from you later then." Hinata said as her world went black.

NARUTO'S MINDSCAPE

"Well Naruto it's time for you to wake up. " Yoko stated. "Try to slow down on the noodles will ya?"

"Yeah right as if that'll ever happen." Naruto smirked as his world when black.

BACK IN THE REAL WORLD

Hey there's a request for some blood samples from Hinata Hyuuga and Naruto Uzimaki." A nurse told the doctor in charge.

"That's strange. I was sure doctor Shinji had given up on them. Oh well get the tools ready I'll be right there." The doctor ordered.

"Yes sir."

The nurse did as ord3ered and gathered all the necessary tools. Upon entering the area where Hinata and Naruto were, she was surprised to see both of them awake and talking to each other. She immediately turned and got the doctor. "Doctor Hinata and Naruto are awake!"

"I'll be right there." The doctor answered.

The nurse went back to check up on them and after a few minutes the doctor came in and asked a few questions. "Now you two, we have orders to take a blood sample from each of you so if you don't mind I'll give guys a little stick." The doctor informed them.

BACK WITH KAKASHI

The teams were nearing the intensive care unit everyone thinking about the fate of their friends.

'I can't believe it's come to this.' Kakashi thought. 'Maybe I'm not cut out for this teaching thing.'

'She's like a sister to this team.' Kurenai thoght. 'She's the soul of team 8 without her--" her thoughts were interrupted by--

CRASH!! BOOM!! THUMP!!…….CRRAAAAAASHHH!! "SOMEONE HOLD THEM DOWN DAMMIT!!" a voice shouted. "WE CAN'T GET NEAR THEM!! Another voice answered. "CRAP! LOOK OUT FOR THE GIRL!!" CRRAAASH!! "DAMMIT THEY DON'T PAY ENOUGH FOR THIS!!"

Doctor Shinji tried to open the door to the ICU only to find that it was locked. So he used his access card and opened it. And to his surprise Naruto and Hinata were standing on a bed and throwing what ever they could grab on to.

"GET THOSE FREAKING POINTY--" Naruto started but stopped when he noticed the exit that was locked, was now open and grinned evilly. The nurses and doctor looked behind them to see Shinji standing there with the door open.

NOOOO Shinji SHUT THE DOOR!! The doctor yelled but it was too late Naruto sped out the ICU, tackling Shinji in the process with Hinata close behind, and shot past their teams and went trough a nearby window.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" doctor Shinji shouted. And turned to the doctor in charge of the shift. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" the doctor asked madly (you would be mad to if someone tackled you)

"We don't know." The doctor answered. "We were going to get a blood sample that was requested and found that they were awake. We asked them a few questions and they were fine. It was when we told them that we were going to take a blood sample they went berserk. Especially lady Hinata she even disabled 2 nursed and an orderly."

At this team 8 went pale. 'Uh oh'

'Oh mans not this again." Kiba started. "Hinata turns into a different person when you go near her with a needle. The last time she had to get a booster shot she nearly destroyed the doctors office."

"Naruto also has a fear of needles. But come on Hinata can't be that bad, and besides they've been out for months they would be out of shape." Kakashi said reassuringly.

"And besides that loser Naruto is with her. He'll mostly mess up any hiding plans they have. Finding and capturing them would be easy." Sasuke said smugly.

"Sasuke and Kakashi sensei are right and besides a put a bug on each of them as they past by. We'll find them as soon as my bugs can get a fix on the female bug' scent." Shino stated.

"I apologize, this is my fault." Doctor Shinji admitted. "I put their names on the form by mistake. We don't need a blood sample."

"It's alright we're just glad they're up. Now if you'll excuse us we have 2 genin to catch." Kakashi said as his team started to run towards the window Naruto an Hinata broke though.

15 MINUTES LATER.

Both teams found themselves on the hokage monument closing in on Naruto and Hinata.

"Shh there they are." Shino said.

"Alright let me handle this Kurenai ordered. As she walked to them

"Ok you two it's time to go back to the hospital."

"……………….."

"………………."

"Come on there's no need to get mad and give me the silent treatment. The doctor made a mistake, you guys won't be getting a shot." Kurenai said as she finally got in front of them and face faulted. (Yeah Kurenai face faulted lol) SHINO!!" she called.

Shino dashed up to his sensei and looked at naruto and Hinata. If he was annoyed he didn't show it. "what the heck?" he asked as he poked "naruto". By now the rest of the team was there and face fualted.

"They made statues of themselves out of sugar?!" Sakura asked in annoyance.

"Their pretty good. They look life like." Kakashi commented.

"Look they even put my female bugs on them. The sugar must be held together by chakra as well." Shino pointed out.

Suddenly the head on 'naruto' erupted with a note on a spring (you know kind like a jack in the box) on the note it said. "Kiba and sasgay settin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!" It also had a chibi drawing of Kiba and Sasuke kissing.

"Grrrrrr that loser!!" Sasuke said in anger. "Screw capture I'm GONNA KILL HIM!! He said as he dashed into a nearby tree line.

"HEY WAIIT FOR ME!! I WANT IS HEAD!!" Kiba shouted and anger. As he followed Sasuke.

Sigh "I really have to teach him some anger management." Kurenai said.

"Well you're not the only one." Kakashi shot back as the heard a loud scream. "Well sounds like they caught up to them. Lets get going before someone gets hurt." He finished as they ran in the direction of the scream.

A few moments later they found themselves deep in a wooded area to find Kiba, Sasuke, and Akamaru were hanging in traps high up in a tree.

"I can't believe I let them get the drop on me like that." Kiba whined.

"That loser….."

"Kiba you should know better than running off like that. " Shino scolded.

"Oh shove it Shino and GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!"

Shino did as asked and threw a kunai to cut the rope holding Kiba in place. As Kiba landed he immediately ran to free Akamaru

"Sasuke I'll get you down!" sakura shouted "CHA I'LL GET BROWNIE POINT FOR SURE NOW CHA!!"

Sakura threw a kunai, freeing Sasuke. "I'll show that loser." He grumbled

"Oh like he showed into that trap?" Kakashi joked. This earned him a death glare that he just shrugged off. "Well on with the chase" he said as they all dashed off.

30 MINUTES LATER.

"Hey Kurenai sensei, Kakashi. " Sasuke called

"Yes Sasuke what is it?" Kakashi asked.

"I was thinking, naruto is a trickster by heart. I wouldn't put it past him to try confuse us by transforming into one of us."

"Good point. Alright everyone gather round." Kakashi ordered as he took out a white cloth and tore it for everyone. " Tie these on you just in case naruto or Hinata tries something."

3 HOURS LATER

Agrh we've been looking for them for hours!" Sakura whined. "Where could they have gone?" she asked as she sat down on a bench in the park.

"We certainly didn't have this much trouble finding Hinata when she had to get her booster shot." Kiba said.

Suddenly Kiba and Sasuke shot out of a nearby tree line. "Kurenai sensei! Those ain't us that naruto and Hinata!" the Kiba from the tree line shouted.

"Good call Sasuke." Kakashi whispered as he went trough a few handsigns. "NINJA ART: PARALYSIS JUTSU! He called as a small jot of lighting hit the Kiba and Sasuke imposters.

"Well now you guys sure gave us a good chase but not it's time to go back to the hospital." Kakashi said as he picked them up. And made their way to the hospital. After a few minutes a weird sound came from Kiba' jacket.

"Hey you ok Akamaru?" he asked worriedly.

"Arrroooo."

"Hey Kurenai sensei. Akamaru stomach isn't doing too well. Can I get him to the vet?

"Certainly."

"Thanks!" he said as turned a different corner to go to the vet.

Soon afterwards they were nearing the hospital and upon entering Sasuke turned off "hey Sasuke were you going" Sakura asked.

"I'll be back." He said as he continued to walk off.

"Can I come?" Sakura asked

Sigh "Sakura."

"Umm yeah?"

The only thin Sasuke did was point at a restroom sign.

"Oh' I'll be with Kakashi sensei then."

Sasuke' only reply was a grunt.

WITH KAKASHI AND KUREN.AI

Kakashi and Kurenai put naruto and Hinata on bed and tied them down. Then released the effect of the jutsu.

"DAMMIT!! IT'S US SENSAI!!" Kiba hollered.

"If you don't believe us then us your Sharingan Kakashi." Sasuke said

Kakashi decided to humor them and lifted up his headband, reveling his Sharingan for a few seconds and put it back in its position. "If the guys at ANBU hear about this they'll never let me live this down."

"Kakashi?" Kurenai called.

"This really is Kiba and Sasuke. That means the Kiba and Sasuke who were with us were really Hinata and naruto."

"THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!!" Kiba yelled.

"They tricked us and knocked us out then we went off on our own. Then put themselves in they're own traps so you could find them." Sasuke clarified.

"So that must be by they wanted us to have some form of mark, so they could point you guys out as imposters." Shino stated. "I gotta say they hid in the last place where we'd find them. They had us running around the village like fools when they were right there."

"And they acted so much like Sasuke and Kiba, we just couldn't tell." Sakura added.

"You guys stay here we'll deal with this." Kurenai ordered.

BACK WITH NARUTO

"Man they really fell for that one.." Naruto said as he slurped up so Raman.

""But what are we going to do now?" Hinata asked. "Wasn't the plan to stay with them till night then thy would have to call off the search?"

"Well we can always go to training ground 7 and hope for the best." Naruto answered. "I booby-trapped the whole area!" just as he finished the sentence he noticed two shadows behind him. "Oh SHOOT Hinata RUUUUUNN!! TRAINING GROUND 7!"

ONE HOUR LATER

The genin were at the hospital bored out of their mind when the hospital doors swung open revealing Kurenai and Kakashi with they student over their shoulders. However what REALLY got the teams attention was the condition said jonin were in. Kurenai was soaked from head to toe, and her dress was pink, she HATED pink. Kakashi's hair was green with pink, purple, and blue dots and his mask was off (gasp) revealing him to be a handsome devil.

"Uh Kurenai sensei? What the heck happened to you guys?" Kiba asked. But all he got was a glare from the jonin with some killer intent that made him back away.

"LET ME GO DARN IT! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I HAVE RIGHTS! THIS IS KIDNAPPING!!" naruto shouted as Kakashi carried him in an empty room.

"Please let me go sensei!" I promise I'll cooperate." Hinata pleaded.

"No."

"Your not mad at us for turning you pink are you?"

"…………."

"But you look soooo beautiful in pink!"

Kurenai said nothing as she was directed to an empty room for Hinata. And just as she was about to enter Hinata somehow managed to get her hands free and griped the doorframe with all the strength she could muster. "BUT YOUR BRINGING SEXY BACK!!" At that comment every man in the area shouted "YEAH!" But Hinata's attempts at flattery fell on deaf ears as she was pulled into the room.

"What the heck happened to those guys?" Sasuke asked

"I don't know, and I don't think I wanna know." Kiba answer.

"Well they're behind on they vaccination shots." Shinji said as he walked out with two shoots in his hands. It's best we give it to them now and be done with it." He said as he made his way to Naruto's room. Soon afterwards cursing and thrashing could be heard following complete silence. The doctored exited the room and entered Hinata's room. There was several moments of silence when suddenly a high pitch, bloodcurdling scream rang out of Hinata's room that shattered all glass in the immediate area and left the genin on the floor in pain (A/N take note they are STILL OUTSIDE the room). A few moments later the doctor and Kurenai staggered out.

"Your student has a very healthy set of lungs." Shinji commented as he held a hand on a bleeding ear.

"I should have gagged her." Kurenai said as a she wiped a few drops of blood from her ear.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A/N: I'm not too happy with this chapter. But I've bashed my head on the wall trying to make it better but this is the best I could do. I won't be updating any time soon cos I'm going on a trip. I'll update as soon as possible.

Just for he record Hinata is only acting kinda like naruto because of her fear of needles. My girlfriend kinda acts like this when she needs to get a shot;) only not as destructive. And YES she would run away and it would take HOURS and sometimes an entire DAY to find her and in a small town like I live in, that's saying A LOT.
