CelticReaper: Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. You should feel sorry for poor Shika, but what about that poor little fox? So much mental scarring for a widdle foxy woxy... *sighs* Naruto? Hmm... what will he do? Here's the update.

bandsecurityaw: Thank you.

90MLLu: Hey! Oh, folks, I'd like you to meet one that leaves some of the longest reviews I've ever seen, say Hi to 90MLLu folks, and be nice. Yeah, there was a lot of action in that chapter wasn't there? I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment on the plot. I tried to get the characters as much in character during their chases as possible, but sometimes it's just impossible. As for the shadow clones, I just think what I'd use them for in the given situation, and pray that it's something he'd do. As for Shika's binding of Naruto... hehe I just loved doing that. And part of that is those oh so troublesome pheromones acting up. Poor little Shika... I don't think the Nara clan will ever forgive me... Embarrassing for whom? I'm sure it was very educational to some... Welcome to the current chapters^_^ glad that you caught up, ne? And I am trying to keep up the good work, but the encouragement helps.

anotamous: She? Oh you mean Hinata? HEHEHEHE Yeah, couldn't leave her out, could I?

nartohaloevovled: Not true! I prefer to stick with betas that I had before I got popular... makes it more family like, ne ne? Ara ara... thanks for the praise. Besides being popular is somewhat scary...

CeddarPixie: Ara ara *blushes* I hope that Hinata remained as good (that's what you meant right?) as the previous chapters. Here's Hinata's chapter, is this soon enough?

Leon89: *looks angelically innocent and walks away* Thanks for the review!

Elemental Dragon Swordman: EDS... uhh... sorry? _ Seriously it's not that bad... right? T_T Oi Dragon, tell your boss I'm sorry, and pass me some of that popcorn will ya?

Anonymous: (Another awesome long review leaver) Yay! I'm happy to help when things get confusing, hope the circles stopped now. Rather a spastic response to the bondage thing... do I have to lock my doors and windows? I wonder what's going through your mind during this chapter then... hmm... anywhosits, I'm not taking you wrong... I hope... but I did take the chance to hint at an explanation, hope you did well on those tests, long reviews? Wow thanks!

badkidoh: Thank you. Nothing to fear from the recessive woman walking around in broad daylight as a dominatrix? *rescans that sentence* Am I MISSING something here? Here's the update... and there's the stuff... *points to the suspicious pile in the shadows*

Trinity the Kitsune Kunoichi: Thank you, I intend to keep writing, and here's the update... soon enough? Your wait my friend is over! But I do have one minor point... with all this attraction going on... why should he have to leave the village for them? I mean... sometimes good things comes to those who wait... sometimes it's not exactly good things... *shrugs* As for the demon thing... I think if I'm right the tailed demons stop at Nine, so sorry about that. The Shinigami is a character I already have plans for... *chuckles evilly* Oh the plans that I have... . . What?! Don't you judge me until you see it... I'll keep your ideas in mind though, thanks!

spottedstar2: Heh, yeah, good fox... and poor humans... they're all gonna go insane.

PaulRap Raptor: I'm not sure if anyone else has the chakra to do it... cause remember Naruto was out for a full night after doing his, and that's with Kyuubi's healing. But I can think of a few likely targets...

Sabaku no Sable: I just have to know... do you think he cares? This is going to be GREAT material for a series of novels, ne? And at least Naruto would go with a smile on his face.

HatakeKakashiSensi: Thank you! I love you loving it. I tried to make it funny and enjoyable. Hmm... Kakashi chasing Naruto... Gonna have to do that I think... soon... Here's the update.

Chapter 8: Hinata's Feelings

"H... Hey Hinata," Naruto started nervously after gulping against his dry throat, "Sorry about running into you... I totally didn't see you..."

Hinata smiled wickedly as she turned to look at Naruto, her motion causing the leash to sway menacingly by her legs. A faint blush settled on her cheeks as she took a deep whiff of the pure and undiluted essence of Naruto that was filling the room containing them. "Oh no Naruto-kun, I leaped into your path... I wanted to run into you... I followed you all day yesterday... until you dove into that lake..."

Naruto paled as the thought of exactly what that meant passed through his already panicking brain. It meant that she had a lot more pheromones in her system, and apparently the effect multiplied the more exposure one had to it. His thoughts were interrupted when Hinata took a step forward, the click of her high heeled shoe echoing in the suddenly silent room.

"I've been watching you for years Naruto-kun... but you've never noticed my feelings for you," Hinata's voice was cold and calculating, despite the pout on her face, "If you won't see me as your lover... then you will bow to me as my pet!"

The declaration was driven home by Hinata cracking the whip against the floor, causing Naruto to nearly jump out of his hiding spot and take off running into the sealed wall of the container they were in. "Hinata... you... you're not thinking straight... it's these pheromones things that are making you like this..."

"Oh... no Naruto, they're making it so clear to me..." Hinata whispered huskily as she put a finger to her mouth and bit the first knuckle lightly. "Don't you feel it Naruto? The passionate heat between us? You said I was your type..."

Naruto swallowed against the sudden lump in his throat. He had to admit, looking at her right now was causing reactions in him that he'd never have imagined feeling in this type of scenario. But something she said had struck him. "That's right... you were my type... the kind gentle girl Hinata, not this... Maybe after I go back to normal we can go on a date or something... but right now you're under the influence of pheromones, you need to fight it, get out of here and get them out of your system..."

Hinata tilted her head in thought for a moment, before taking another step forward. Her eyes were wide and manic, with a grin to match as she drew nearer to her long time crush. "No Naruto... we are not going anywhere..."

Naruto was about to try again, when he saw a pair of gas bombs drop in through the hole he fell in. With a steady hiss, they released a gas into the room. Burying his nose into a pillow he used that to filter out the knock out gas, smiling as Hinata slumped down to the ground already snoring peacefully.

Naruto was just about to join her in slumber land, when a large vacuum sucked the gas out of the room. Seconds later a door in the side of the side of the room opened up, and two biohazard suit clad people entered. One went over to Hinata, gently scooping her up and carrying her out, while the other carried a pile to Naruto and dropped it before him. Looking down he was surprised to see that it was his clothing and a radio headset.

After the hazard suit wearing duo left, Naruto pulled the pile of clothing under the pillows and began to get dressed, having felt hunted and exposed since Temari found him. Normally he wasn't much for modesty, but this was a bit much even for him. Just getting his boxers on made him feel a lot better.

After he finished getting dressed, he slipped the radio headset on and called out. "Hello? Who's on the other end of this?"

"Hey Brat... got yourself in some trouble again, didn't you?" Tsunade's voice came over the radio waves, sounding completely drained and unamused.

"Yeah Baa-chan, but it's not entirely my fault," Naruto countered while pacing the room he found himself in. "See Ero-sennin told me he had an awesome new jutsu to teach me, and when I tried it, this happened. Oh... is that little fox that bit Shikamaru alright? I don't know what happened to her, but I don't want her hurt because of me..."

"She's safe brat... no worse off than any of your other victims..." Tsunade growled as a display showed off all the ones that had chased Naruto in a single room. Some like Hinata and Temari were strapped and chained to their beds, while others were walking around, talking and playing games. Kakashi and the other teachers were being given a wide berth, maybe it was the fact they were still oiled up and in speedos... or it might just be that Kakashi was going into porn withdrawls and begging for books from anyone nearby. The one that made Naruto feel worst however was Shikamaru with a bag of ice on the bitten area. Shortly after, a picture of the little fox kit playing with some of Akamaru's toys while he and the other dog watched on in amusement came up, making Naruto smile. "You will understand if we want to keep you in quarantine for a while, right Naruto?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I understand... it's just until the jutsu wears off right?" Naruto replied without really thinking about his deep and desperate love of all things confining. Tsunade on the other hand gave him an hour before he was ready to gnaw his way through the seals.

Meanwhile, outside of Konoha a force massed ready to try and invade Konoha again. Orochimaru stood next to Sasuke chuckling as they looked at the city that had thwarted Orochimaru so many times in the past. Sasuke on the other hand was lost in thought about who he'd see inside the city. For some reason his former teammates Naruto and Sakura were heavy on his mind. If he saw them in there, he might just try to get them out of the way. Maybe even explain his reasoning to them, try to get them to see that he had done what he thought was best. These thoughts were quickly squelched under the heel of the painful burning from the cursed seal on his neck.

As he rubbed the burning mark he barely heard Orochimaru chuckling next to him, making plans for the invasion.
