Hey Guys, Novablade 67 here again! Sorry if it's been awhile since i updated, i was busy for a few weeks there and didn't have time to continue any of my stories. This chapter is where this still will separate from the canonical story of Naruto since well... saiyans are in the story. I decided to give Naruto a hack like Goten so he'd be able to keep up with the incoming villains that will be much stronger than any of the Naruto villains. Well without further ado, here is chapter 9 of Flame Haired Saiyan!

Hidden Leaf Village

Naruto, Houjin, and Jiraiya all managed to return with Tsunade and Shizune after fighting off Orochimaru and Kabuto. The village returned to normal following the events of the attack by Orochimaru and the sound village shinobi. A couple months had passed and it'd been about a week since the trio of Houjin, Naruto, and Jiraiya returned to konoha with Tsunade. Today was finally the day in which Tsunade was to be named the leaf's 5th Hokage. After having her face carved into the side of Hokage mountain, the villagers all gathered at the Hokage tower.

It was a grand ceremony in which Tsunade was named the 5th Hokage of the village. While others of the Konoha 11 stayed for the festivities, Houjin didn't really care too much for it and had snuck away from it to go train some more. He needed to stay sharp, especially since he felt that there was someone even more powerful than Orochimaru out there. The young Saiyan found himself training with his Rival Saiyan, Kazuna. Since the two of them started training as soon as he returned, Kazuna had unlocked a power far greater than his own power had been previously. That was the Berserk Form, which he combined with his power as an Ssj God or Ssj Red. Kazuna was now pretty much on equal footing with Houjin now, the orange haired Saiyan was abit stronger but not by much.

Hanabi and Kazumi had come looking for them, only to discover the two of them training. They'd be lying if they didn't find it the least bit satisfying to watch each of their crushes respectively duking it out with each other. Houjin and Kazuna both stopped once they noticed the two girls gawking at them, they figured out why when they looked down at themselves without shirts on. Of course they'd be gawking like that, they were girls after all. Two very attractive teen Saiyan guys duking it out without shirts on? That was just asking for female attention.

Houjin- Oh Hanabi, Kazumi didn't see you guys there.

Hanabi- Oh, t-that's alright Houjin. Don't mind us, you two keep going at it. (Darn it, Why does Houjin have to be so "hot" right now?!)

Kazuna- You two do want to learn Ki, don't you?

Kazumi- Well.. yeah we do.

Kazuna- You won't get anywhere just by sitting there then, will you?

Houjin- Yeah, come over here you two.

Hanabi- o.. ok H- Hou Kun i-if you say so..

The two girls joined their two male teammates as the two saiyans began instruct the two on how to bring out their Ki. Surprisingly, both of them Mastered it after just a few minutes. They were surprised at how easy it was to bring out their Ki. That's when Houjin noticed something about Hanabi, she had a little something extra that wasn't there before. He got curious and decided to ask her about it. The same was true for Kazumi as well, Kazuna just didn't highlight it or call it out.

Houjin- Hey Hana, can i ask you something?

Hanabi- Huh? Yeah, sure. What is it, Hou kun?

Houjin- Did you.. always have an indigo colored tail, or is that new?

Hanabi- Tail? what are talking abou- huh? EHHHHHHH?!?!?!

Hanabi's eyes widened when she saw the object in question and she nearly screamed. She never had a tail before.. so what exactly happened? It was like Houjin's brown tail, but why would she have one? She wasn't a saiyan as far as she knew of, but that was most definitely a saiyan tail. What exactly happened to her? It was then that she remembered what happened that particular morning.

Flashback: Earlier that morning

Hanabi had just woken up after a good night's sleep. Yesterday, she'd gone on a date with Houjin after he got back. She giggled as she remembered leaving Houjin a blubbering mess at the end of the night by stealing yet another kiss from him when he let his guard down. As she stretched to wake up, she felt something scratching the back of her head. Hanabi turned her head to see what it was and her eyes became was wide as dinner plates. It was a tail! She screamed and hit her head on a desk, while simultaneously landing on her bottom. She felt a sharp pain in her backside as it felt like all of her power temporarily left her as she went limp for a few minutes.

A hyuuga maid came rushing to the room when she heard her mistress scream. When she arrived, she saw Hanabi clutching her head like she just bumped her head on something.

Hyuuga maid- Are you alright miss?

Hanabi- Huh? Oh Yeah, I'm fine Fumi. Just hit my head on something, i'll be ok. Thank you.

Fumi- If you're certain miss. Just holler if you need me.

Hanabi- Alright, I'll be sure to do that Fumi.

Fumi then bowed and left the room, leaving Hanabi to her thoughts. Hanabi then decided to get ready for the day and wrapped the odd appendage around her waist like a belt without even thinking about it.

end Flashback

Hanabi then remembered that event and proceeded to tell Houjin about her rather eventful morning. He silently laughed about it, but then gained a rather serious expression. He thought to himself about what this could possibly mean. Hanabi wasn't a saiyan, she was a human. How could she just magically wake up with a saiyan monkey tail the very next morning after he spent time with her? It didn't make any sense, not unless... That wouldn't happen unless somehow the makeup of Hanabi's blood changed to that of a full blooded saiyan. But.. that suggestion was outright crazy! There was no way that could happen... unless... somehow or another he himself changed Hanabi's blood to that of a saiyan's. That was even more of a long shot though. He wouldn't know unless he somehow was able to have a doctor analyze Hanabi's blood.

Houjin- So.. you just woke up with that tail of yours?

Hanabi- Yeah.. i did. Hou kun, what happened to me?

Houjin- I'm not sure. Why don't you come with me Hana, I know someone who may be able to help find out what's happening to you.

Hanabi just nodded as Houjin apologized before the two of them took off. Kazumi/Kasumi was confused too as she had a tail as well and just noticed it a few weeks ago. Sensing Kazumi's turmoil, Kazuna decided to let the cat out of the bag and explain to Kazumi what she really was and why she had a tail. To say Kazumi was shocked that she and Naruto were Saiyans would be putting it mildly, she could barely even process her thoughts at the moment. She had so many questions flying through her brain at the moment that she almost didn't see Kazuna's kick coming at her head. The blond uzumaki narrowly dodged it and Kazuna's other attacks that came at her. She noticed how off of her game she was and remembered that she was training to learn how to use her Ki. Kazumi figured she'd have some since she found out that herself and Naruto were both Saiyans.

Kazuna smirked when he saw that Kazumi was focused again and continued his attacks. The two began to spar with each other, using what each of them had learned recently about themselves. They continued to chat as they sparred, since Kazumi had alot of unanswered questions after learning that she was a saiyan. Kazuna of course answered the best that he could with what he knew about saiyans, courtesy of the man known as "Black". He had taught Kazuna everything he knew about Saiyans and their lineage and his knowledge was quite extensive, far more than Houjin's. There were some things Kazuna didn't know yet about saiyans that he told Kazumi he would have to consult black about first, which she understood. The two decided to halt their training for the day and see how Houjin and Hanabi were doing. So they went off to find the two as they left the training ground.

With Houjin and Hanabi

Houjin and Hanabi finally arrived at their destination, which was the residence of Houjin's master... the man known as Black. Hanabi's eyes widened when she saw where they were and she was confused as to why they were here at Black's house.

Hanabi- Hou kun, why are we here?

Houjin- I told you that i know someone who may be able to explain what's happening to you.

Hanabi- And that person is here?

Houjin nodded. Hanabi still wasn't sure but, she decided to trust Houjin. He was her Boyfriend and eventual fiance when they were abit older, after all. Sensing that Houjin was here, Black came out to greet the young saiyan. He smirked when he saw that Houjin brought his girlfriend with him.

Black- I expected to see you saiyan, but why is your girlfriend here too?

Hanabi- Girl.. G- Girlfriend?

Black- Yes. You are his lover, aren't you Hyuuga?

Hanabi: W-well i-i wouldn't exactly call me that.. B-But you are right by saying that Hou kun is my boyfriend.

Black- Heh, lover, boyfriend, it's the same difference to me. Anyways, what are you here for Saiyan?

Houjin- Oh, right! Something odd seems to be happening to Hanabi here, we were hoping that maybe you could shed some light onto the situation. Go on Hana, you can trust him.

Hanabi- Ok Hou kun, if you say so...

Black raised a questioning eyebrow at this, that was until Hanabi explained what had happened to her earlier in the day. The more she explained, the more it made sense to Black as to what exactly happened to the hyuuga heiress. When she finished, Black looked her straight in the eyes and told her something that Houjin hoped wasn't the case and had dismissed as an impossibility of what happened.

Black- Hyuuga, what happened to you is rather simple.

Hanabi- Really? what happened to me?

Black- The fact that you woke up with an indigo colored tail is proof of it.

Hanabi- Huh? How exactly is that proof?

Black- Simple. Your body is reacting to the change in your dna and blood.

Hanabi- Wait, what?! My dna and blood changed? You mean, i'm not a hyuuga anymore?

Black- No you still are, just there's another side of you that you'll need to get used to.

Hanabi- What other side to me do i need to get used to?

Black- well that's rather simple. It seems like you've actually somehow become a full blooded Saiyan. I'm going to guess it was as a result of Houjin's dna entering your body through lip contact.

Hanabi- Wha whaaaaattttt?! You mean b-b-bbbbbb- by m-me kissing Hou kun twice i've somehow turned into a Saiyan?

Black- that's right. or more specifically your boyfriend unknowingly turned you into a saiyan.

Hanabi still couldn't wrap her head around this one. She.. was a saiyan now? But she was still a hyuuga too and retained her chakra and techniques from the hyuuga clan. But how? It didn't make any sense! Black further explained that although she wasn't completely a saiyan yet, it was only a matter of time until she became one. This meant her days as a human kunoichi were numbered.

Hanabi- You mean.. i won't be human anymore?

Black- Yes. Sad as it is, this is the truth. There's no way to reverse the effect, the change will be permanent. You won't be human for much longer, girl. I'd say you have about.. a week before your blood completely turns to that of a saiyan.

Hanabi- No... why? why like this? I did want to be closer to Houjin, but like this?

Black- If it's any consolation, you won't die. You'll just become far stronger than a human... and your affinity for chakra will probably disappear. Except for your clan's jutsu however...

Hanabi- Huh?

Houjin- This could work for you hana. Your taijutsu will be enhanced and you'll still have your 8 trigrams jutsu. Just.. anything purely chakra related.. you'll lose your affinity for it once you become a saiyan.

Hanabi- So even... my byakugan will disappear?

Houjin- hmm... nah. Since that jutsu is connected to your dna, i think that'll still stay after you turn into a saiyan.

Hanabi- That's a relief. If it's my fate to become a saiyan, then i don't care. If becoming a saiyan means that i can be with you Hou kun, then i'd gladly give up my humanity. Because you're the most important person in the world to me Houjin, my love.

Houjin- Hanabi...

Black- Ahem! As touching as this is, i'd rather prefer not to see you two make out in front of me. If you're going to do that, then please go elsewhere.

This caused both teens to blush furiously as they turned several different shades of red. The two then left to go meet up with yugao at one of the training grounds, because she said there was a mission for team 6. They both looked at each other, they'd have to break the news to hiashi eventually. The two teens smiled at each other, they'd be an item after they were of age. For Hanabi at the moment though, 4 years couldn't come fast enough. She wanted to become Houjin's girlfriend and then fiancé right then and there, but Hanabi knew she had to wait. There were more important things to worry about at the moment anyways.

Team 6 met Yugao at training ground 6 where they underwent evaluation as a team initially. The Older shinobi got right to the point, after ensuring all required personnel was there and accounted for. She told them about some movement from an unknown enemy that had the hokage abit concerned for her village, as well as the leaf's allies. The only thing they did know was that this unknown enemy force was hostile. It was said that this other force may be working with the akatsuki, not a pleasant thought. Houjin knew that with this new enemy on the horizon, he'd have to stronger than ever if he wanted to protect those he cared about. Their mission was to survey out this mysterious new enemy, they were not to engage the enemy.

However, as Saiyans Houjin and Kazuna could make no promises that they wouldn't try to fight this new enemy. The team gathered their necessary supplies and headed towards the land of Lightning. As the team was gathering at the gate, Hanabi decided to ask Houjin something that'd been on her mind recently after learning that she'd soon become a full blooded saiyan. He was her boyfriend after all, albeit unofficially.

Hanabi- Hou kun?

Houjin- Yeah, what is it Hana?

Hanabi- I was... just wondering... C-Could you.. train me?

Houjin- Me? You want me to train you? You are already really well versed in martial arts and jutsu in close quarters..

Hanabi- No, not like that. I meant.. can you train me in how to access my ki?

Houjin- You mean on how to bring it out and use it like me and Kazuna do?

Hanabi- Yeah. I figured since i'll be a saiyan soon anyways, i may as well learn to fight like one now so i'm not behind everyone when i do turn into one.

Houjin smiled, he was actually happy that Hanabi asked him to train her. He ruffled her hair and said he'd be honored to. Hanabi made what he thought was an adorable pouting face as she was clearly embarrassed to be treated in such a way. After their quick conversation, the two caught up to their teammates. As they were walking out of the village, Hanabi's father Hiashi, her older sister Hinata, and her cousin Neji waited to see her off.

Hanabi- We didn't tell you guys that we were leaving, how'd you know?

Hiashi- I had Neji and Hinata around you two in the background, watching to see if anything came up. That's how i knew that your team received a new mission due to the mysterious new enemy that's appeared.

Hanabi- oh... I see. Father?

Hiashi- Yes Hanabi?

Hanabi- There's something I- no, we need to tell you once we return from this mission.

Hiashi- Hm? something you both need to tell me?

Houjin- Yes sir, because it is something that involves both of us.

Hiashi was abit skeptical but decided to trust Houjin as he had come to do recently. It would look bad if he didn't trust the boy who had captured his daughter's heart and may possibly be his future son- in- law. The elder hyuuga decided to trust Houjin at his word, he'd have to for it was his duty as the hyuuga clan head. Neji was abit suspicious at this and told Houjin and Hanabi that they'd better tell him as soon as they had time, even if it was by messenger pigeon. Though she didn't show it, Hinata was very worried about what Hanabi meant by that there was something she needed to tell their father something after they returned. Hanabi went over to her sister and told her that she'd be writing her soon to explain what she was going to tell their father and Neji eventually. This made Hinata feel a little better knowing that her sister still trusted her enough to tell her something first.

Soon after, Hanabi left with Houjin and the others of team 6. Rather than walking all the way there, they lifted into the air and flew there once they were out of sight of the village. It was still a long way, even by flight so they had to make a few stops before they got to there destination.

Time skip: A few days later

It was night time now and almost everyone was sound asleep, except for one person. That person was Hanabi. She was up writing a letter to her older sister Hinata explaining her current situation. Since she wasn't going to remain human for much longer, (probably by the end of their reconnaissance mission to the land of lightning she'd be a saiyan completely) Hanabi decided to tell her sister what was happening to her. But she requested that Hinata to not tell Neji or their father because she wanted to be the one to tell them herself when she returned.

Dear Hinata, how are you sis? I hope you're doing well. Anyways i'm fine, despite what's soon to happen to me. Don't worry, it's nothing horrible but promise me you won't freak out too much once i tell you what i mean by my earlier statement. Ok well here goes.

I recently found out from a reliable source that I'm not going to be human anymore in a few days. It's abit of a scary thought, but at the same time, I'm happy. What I mean by that is that somehow or another by coming into contact with me affectionately, Houjin indirectly has started to change my blood structure. Yes, that's right. I'm becoming a saiyan now that my blood's changed. That means, I won't have access to the Tenseigan anymore. I'll still have the Byakugan and the Rotation jutsu at my disposal but.. I won't have mastery of the 8 trigrams: 64 or 32 palms anymore. Basically, my taijutsu skills will be nil. I'll have to take what i've learned from the hyuuga and apply it to my martial arts skills as a saiyan, since i'll be one by the time you see me next.

I've already made peace with it. Not like I can go back to being human now anyways, it's too late. Also the process can't be reversed, i'm afraid the change is permanent since it's natural. If i can be with Hou kun as a saiyan, then i'm perfectly fine leaving my humanity behind. I guess when I kissed him is when the change started to occur. Anyways, I know it's sad, but now father will have no choice but to reinstate you as the clan heir... at least i hope. Or maybe Neji can take over the clan, I bet he'll do a fine job. Anyways, don't worry we're still blood sisters even if I am a saiyan by the time you see me next. love you sis.

Your sister, Hanabi Hyuuga

Hanabi let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as she rolled up the parchment and tied it to a messenger pigeon that she sent off towards konoha. Hanabi smiled at her handiwork, she knew Hinata would get the message soon. She only hoped no one else would read it. She then headed back to bed to get sleep before their big mission tomorrow. Hanabi snuck into Houjin's bed and snuggled up next to him. while doing this, she felt his tail wrap around her waist like it had already claimed her as his woman. She than happily drifted off to sleep with a smile plastered on her face, Hanabi would be fine as long as Houjin was with her. In that, she felt confident of.
