Pulchritudinous

A Chouji x Hinata Fanfic

Yawneth! Hey all! Tankou001 here with an all new chapter of Pulchritudinous! If any of you are wondering what the yawn is about it is now 3:28 in the morning, and I just got done cranking out the last chapter of this fic, and don't feel like sleeping. XD

Anyway, as I said last chapter this one will be all Hinata related. She won't have the same thing as Chouji did, but it will be fun, and it will be exciting, and in any case someone is going to get something amazing happening to them! Actually I am deciding that this chapter will have to do with Hinata's "Family" life, which means she will have something fun to deal with in the Hyuuga family.

In Truth this is gonna be a rather long chapter, and toward the end Chouji will take over so there can be a "final fight" of sorts. You'll see when it all comes.

Enjoy!

Chapter Nine: Double Family Trouble

Hinata walked through the house happily. Life had become so nice since she had moved in with Akimichi Chouji. She had not only slept in the same bed as Chouji, but the two had expressed their love for each other several nights in a row the past week. It had been a few days since Chouji had left, but Hinata was patient. She had visited Tenten, and Sakura a few times since Chouji's departure, and spoken of wonderful times, and what was to come.

A knock was heard at the door, and Hinata went to open it, Neji on the other side. "Ah, H-Hello Neji-kun." Hinata said quickly. Her cousin had never been much for talking to her so Hinata assumed that Neji was on business. Still the Hyuuga looked tired, and hesitant to even look at Hinata. "Wh-What is wrong, Neji-kun? Is something th-the matter?"

Neji nodded, and looked up at Hinata his pale eyes doted with red places as though he had been struck in the eyes, and the very veins had popped inside. Hinata gasped, and pulled the Hyuuga's arm, trying to get him inside so that she could inspect his eyes, but Neji pulled back. "Hinata-sama, stay away from me. I can't guarantee your safety if you get too close." Hinata looked horrified, but Neji tried to explain. "Hiashi-sama... He was let go. The village elders unsealed his chakra coils, and now he seeks revenge on you. He is sending many of the branch ninja to bring you to him, you have to leave now. I should be attacking you, but I refused, and indirectly he is controlling me. The longer I am here the more danger you are in. Please leave this place, and find Hokage-sama. Tell her about this!" Neji grabbed his head in pain, and fell to his knees. He looked up at Hinata his eyes almost completely red from the blood inside of them. He stood and brought his hand back to strike Hinata, but the raven haired woman was off in a flash of lightning, leaving Neji behind to swing like a zombie at the place that Hinata had been in seconds before.

In the same instant as Hinata had left she was at the Uchiha compound. Crashing could be heard inside, and Sakura came bursting from the paper screens, her bulging belly held in one hand. "Hinata what are you doing here? Get out of here now! Didn't Neji-kun warn you, Hiashi-san is creating an uprising!" The very building behind Sakura exploded into black flames, and Itachi dove from the paper screen. He looked back as a Hyuuga ninja flew at him, and caught the man, snapping his neck.

Itachi looked at Hinata, and his frown deepened. "Hinata-san... Please get to Tsunade. This was the wrong place to come first. Did Neji-san not tell you to flee to the Hokage?"

Hinata, horror spread across her face, nodded, and flashed off once again, arriving in front of the Hokage tower as a bolt of lightning. She took one step, but a hand caught her arm, and she turned, her own father behind her, a scowl clear across his face. "You... YOU!" Hinata tried to turn to strike Hiashi, but the elder Hyuuga was already set to counter, and grabbed Hinata's wrist, twisting it until an audible snap was heard, and Hinata screamed in pain. "You ruined my life! You are responsible for my being stuck in that horrible prison for this whole time! I raised you like your late mother would have wanted me to! There was so much hope for you, Hinata, but you took my kindness for granted! Now I will take the life that I should have never allowed to continue!"

Hiashi forced Hinata to the ground, and formed some hand seals, a long cord of chakra snaking towards Hinata from Hiashi's hand. Hinata could do nothing, Hiashi's foot on one of her legs. Still when the cord about touched Hinata she closed her eyes, and heard a horrible slamming noise, opening her eyes once again to see her own sister standing above Hiashi's unconscious body. Hanabi looked shaken, though still kept her cool demeanor. Hinata gasped. "H-Hanabi?"

Hanabi looked down at Hinata, and reached down. Hinata took her sister's hand, and the two hurried into the Hokage tower, Hinata's wrist turned a way that it most definitely shouldn't have been turned. Immediately Shizune came into sight, several other medical ninja coming into view as well. "Get my sister's wrist taken care of. Don't mind me." Hanabi said, Hinata only then noticing that the Hyuuga "Ice Princess" was bleeding heavily from her left upper arm.

Tsunade's voice could be heard at that moment, calling down to the group. "What's going on? Who has come in?" Tsunade stormed down the stairs, and saw Hinata, and Hanabi, relaxing noticeably. "You two are just who wanted to see. Hanabi-chan, get your arm taken care of. Hinata-chan, you will come with me, and I will set that break in your wrist, and get it healed." Hanabi nodded, and Hinata rushed to Tsunade's side, the two soon finding a room not filled with moaning Konoha nin that must have been caught in Hiashi's uprising. "Are you hurt anywhere else? Did the word get to you what is happening?" Hinata nodded, and bit her lip as Tsunade grabbed her wrist, and began to force it back into place. "The elders have pulled yet another move against Konoha, but instead of telling one of the Hyuuga to destroy their own clan, they have agreed to Hiashi that he would succeed as Hokage if he got rid of me. I knew when Uchiha Itachi returned, and spread the news of their betrayal that I should have had them both put down."

It was then that Hinata remembered Itachi, and Sakura, and opened her mouth. Still the only thing to leave Hinata's mouth was a horrible, blood curdling scream as Tsunade twisted her wrist back into place, the bones making audible cracking sounds that seldom would have meant something was going well. Still Hinata gained composure quickly, and spoke weakly, lightheaded from the pain. "Itachi-san... Sakura-chan. Th-they are in trouble..."

Tsunade looked up at Hinata, and then back at her wrist, hands glowing green as she began to mend the bones. "I know, and I have sent Hatake Kakashi after them to return them to the tower. Since the Hyuuga clan is so vast this tower is the last bastion of defense against them. Hiashi has strained the last of his energy, and all of his connections to gather all of the branch members, and take them over using the seals that they have on their foreheads. Hyuuga Neji was strong enough to resist for a time, but I doubt he could have kept control for too long. I have no doubt that even some of the branch Hyuuga on missions close to the village have veered from their missions, and started heading toward Konoha to help Hiashi take over. Hanabi didn't abide by the uprising, and clued us in early so we have had minimal casualties, but it is a losing battle for us. We need someone a lot bigger, and better. Uzumaki Naruto would have been a good candidate for clearing out a large force of the Hyuuga, but he is still injured, and not ready to fight. Akimichi Chouji would have been our next option, but he is away on a mission. Those to had the biggest firepower as far as size, and summons go. I dare not use Kastuya just yet either."

Tsunade called in another medical ninja who helped her heal up Hinata's wrist. "Kiba-kun should be getting back from his mission soon so a sure he will help us. His two headed wolf jutsu should aid us in fighting off Hiashi, but as far as things go Hiashi has the upper hand. Hanabi arrived only minutes before the attack, and we just weren't ready for it. We've sent our second fastest ninja to Sunagakure for help, but I fear they won't arrive in time." Another medical ninja came in, and bowed to Tsunade. "Do you have news yet on the Nara clan?"

The man nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama. They are holding steady in their compound, and it appears as though they have not been overtaken as of yet. The field in the north corner of the village also has been fortified it seems by drawings. It seems Sai has set up a safe location for some of the other Konoha ninja."

Tsunade nodded, and spoke out. "We have to set up communication to that fortified section. Make sure Sai knows we are willing to help, and tell him that if we can spare forces we will get out there, and try to establish a larger area with him. Try to get in contact with the Nara clan as well. I want to make sure they can get to safety."

The medical ninja nodded, and left quickly. Hinata looked at Tsunade. "Wh-What are we going to do?"

Tsunade hmphed, and looked up at Hinata. "Hinata-chan, you are the fastest that we have, and as soon as we get your wrist healed you are to go as fast as you can to meet up with the other ninja in the outlying lands. You are to bring the message that Konoha is going through an uprising, and that the Konoha ninja on missions are to return at once. We have sent birds to some teams, but Might Gai, and Yuuhi Kurenai have yet to be sent anything. I have their locations of a chart for you so that you may find them. Before you do that, however, I need you to find all of the various ninja who are fighting against the Hyuuga clan, and I want you to bring them back here, or to another safe area. We are stronger bound together than scattered so anything is better than nothing. Your wrist should be better by now, so get out of here, and return to me when you need that chart."

Hinata looked at her wrist. It stung a bit still, but it was fully movable, and she could use it easily again. She nodded, and placed her hands together flashing out of the room in a bolt of lightning. In half an instant she was across Konoha at Lee's home. The green clad taijutsu expert was at his door, beating off some Hyuuga branch members, and saw Hinata, waving her down. He knew better than to expect Hinata being on the side of the enemy. Hinata hurried into the house which had boarded up windows now, and furniture piled next to the doorway just in case Lee, and Chihara had to batten down the hatches, and wait the whole thing out. Chihara hurried Hinata into the door, and led her to a back room with plenty of medical supplies like bandages, and rubbing alcohol, and such things that would be needed to keep wounds from getting worse. "Hinata-chan... Please tell me what is happening. Hyuuga men came to our door, and demanded we attack the Hokage. Soon enough the whole village was crawling with Hyuuga men attacking all of us who didn't join them."

Hinata nodded. "F-Father has attacked the village, and is controlling the branch members through their seals. Even Neji-kun has been forced against his w-will to attack me, and the rest of the village..."

Chihara nodded, sighing that such a thing had happened. "I understand. What should we do?"

Hinata looked around. The house was well fortified, but Hinata knew that even if Lee, and Chihara boarded everything up the place simply couldn't hold against the Hyuuga branch members. She looked back at Chihara, and sighed. "Y-You will have to get to Hokage t-tower, or to the N-north meadow in Konoha. Sai has set up fortifications in the N-North area, H-Hokage-sama is in Hokage tower. Can you get to either?"

Chihara nodded. "The world is a clock, Hinata-chan. I am the one who turns the gears, and if I say stop that clock obeys." Chihara stood up and for the first time Hinata has ever seen her do so, walked quite quickly to Lee. "Honey, we need to leave right now. You head to the northern field of Konoha. I will head to Hokage tower. I will meet you again when all of this blows over." Lee looked at the chaos outside, and accepted a peck on the cheek from Chihara before disappearing, his speed so great as to make his movement seem instant. Hinata stepped up to Chihara, and the woman smiled. "I have been wondering if I could do this for a long time, and finally I now get to see if I can. I trust I can let you see my masterpiece, Hinata-chan. This is the stopping of the gears. The clock that is the world will stop today for a whole minute, and you will see it."

Hyuuga men noticed Chihara and Hinata in the doorway, and began to move in, but Chihara held out a hand, and spoke out. "World... I command thee to halt." And as Chihara commanded the world to stop it did. Mid jump men stopped in midair. Fireballs froze in their paths. People flying about in the air from being struck froze solid, and Hinata gazed upon the world coming to a halt in a mere second. Chihara turned back, and looked at Hinata with a smile. "I can't do this more than a minute so get going to wherever you need to go. I'll see you in the future, Hinata-chan." With that said Chihara disappeared, the rest of the world starting to run in slow motion instead of outright time freeze. If Hinata had to have guessed she would have guessed that Chihara simply switched Hinata to a different speed of time, and remained in the frozen zone to leave Hinata behind. Still Hinata knew nothing of Chihara's powers as far as fine details went so she wouldn't dwell on it. Quickly Hinata ran through the slow motion world of Konohagakure No Sato, the world gradually speeding up as the rest of the minute went by. As this all happened Hinata made sure to go faster to her next destination, and soon enough the world was back at full speed, and Hinata a bolt of lightning streaking through the streets.

She stopped a the Aburame compound, kikaichu flying about angrily, and various Aburame ninja battling with Hyuuga members. Aburame was also a large clan as Hinata remembered, but only about a quarter the size of Hyuuga, and unlike the Hyuuga the Aburame clan didn't have every member as a ninja, and Hinata was sure that the only non ninja in the Hyuuga clan were those not old enough to be such. Shibi could be seen leading some Aburame into battle, and Hinata ducked around the bugs, and flying kunai to get to him. He spotted Hinata, and almost attacked her, but noticed immediately that she was not a branch member and halted. "Hinata-chan. Forgive me, I almost struck you down. What is happening?"

Hinata spoke up, quick to give the information to the leader of the Aburame clan. "F-Father wants to take over Konoha. H-He is using his power over the b-branch members to make them attack Konoha."

Shibi nodded, and pointed to a small group of ninja. "Apparently the Hyuuga are not the only ones on his side. There are a few ninja groups that have joined him. One of my cousins who works at the Shinobi prison sent a kikai that tells me that Hyuuga men have broken in, and let out the prisoners. Hey are working to flood the city, and help Hiashi-san overthrow Tsunade-sama." Hinata gasped, but didn't have time to be surprised as a kunai zipped past her head. Shibi grabbed Hinata by the arm, and dragged her inside one of the compound's buildings, two Aburame coming to replace Shibi. "The Hyuuga are too many, and too spread out. We don't have the numbers that the Hyuuga do, and every Hyuuga is a ninja while the Aburame are not as such. We have heard news of a fortification in the north field, and we believe that we can spread to their, and join them. If you can get there then tell these people that we are making our way there. We can probably spread their in a few hours, but if we are to speed it up we shall need to have them do the same our way. You can understand that a field isn't exactly the best place to get food, or take care of the injured. If we could connect our two areas then the injured could be brought here where there is ample room for people to recuperate. Could you get the word to them, Hinata-chan?"

Hinata nodded and was off again, an instant later arriving at a giant, black wall which looked to be made of ink. She dodged a kunai, and a giant hand reached out from the wall, and pulled her in, Hinata popping out on the inside of the wall next to Sai. The man looked a bit tired to say the least. "Hinata-san, I am glad to see you. Please give us news of the outside." Hinata nodded, and explained what was going on, adding in the part about Shibi, and the Aburame clan. Sai listened carefully through the whole thing. As Hinata looked about she noted many injured chuunin, and genin lying on the grass with a few medical ninja who must have gotten stick with Sai, and the rest tending to the inured. Sai spoke up, however, not wanting to waste any time, or so it seemed. "Utagau Temano is here. He knows where his father is, and I will ask you to speak to him about finding Tenzou-san. Tenzou alone will be able to help me extend this fortress to the Aburame compound. Before that happens I will be able to do nothing to extend to the Aburame."

Hinata nodded, and looked around. Temano was quickly found making little huts, but not looking at all well. Hinata stepped up to him, and he raised his head, a tired expression upon his face. "Hinata-sensei. It is good to see you. We need to find my father, but none of us can get to him from here."

Hinata nodded, and leaned down. "I can find him. Tell me where he is."

Temano nodded, and sat down. "Father should be in the southern end of Konoha. He was going to go check on Kyogi-kun. Ty Dao is also running around looking for others to help."

Hinata nodded, and again was off like lightning. She wound up attracted to a colorful red twin pair of rays that she could have only guessed as Kyogi's doujutsu. She arrived there instantly, and sure enough Kyogi, and Tenzou were on a building top, Kyogi clearing the ground below with his hyper destructive vision. Tenzou waved to Hinata, and helped her up with a tree from below her feet. She stepped onto the roof, and spoke out quickly. "Tenzou-senpai, your son is in the norther edge of Konoha with Sai-kun. They need you there so that they can extend to the Aburame compound. Lots of people are badly injured."

Tenzou nodded, a serious look on his face. "That is very bad. Kyogi-kun is working hard to clear off the Hyuuga, but his eyes are only working as a deterrent so far. The first view sweeps was enough to tell them that he only has a set range, and now they are throwing kunai, and shuriken at us. Since Kyogi-kun can only look one way at a time we can't risk going down to the ground, and walking there." The whole building shook suddenly. And the foundation seemed to sink a foot or so into the ground. Tenzou looked down, and sighed. "It seems that they are too impatient. They are going to try to bring the ground down from under us. Alright, Hinata-chan, I'll do it your way. We'll try to make our way across Konoha, but we will need help. If Oashisu were here it would have been easier. Still I am glad I didn't tell her to come."

A great howl was heard from a distance, and Hinata turned to see two whirling masses heading for the building, landing atop it with little difficulty. They turned out to be Kiba, and Akamaru in half beast form. Kiba scowled, and looked at Hinata. "Hey, Hinata, whats goin on? We got here from our mission, and the whole place is crawlin' with Hyuuga guys gone bad."

Tenzou smiled, and walked up to Kiba. "No time to explain, Kiba-kun Can you do that huge two headed wolf thing? We need a ride."

Kiba scowled yet again. "The two headed wolf isn't for travel purposes... We do it for battle, but I suppose if you need a ride through this it is as good a time as any. Where to?" Tenzou pointed north, and Kiba smiled. "All the way over there? Alright. Come on Akamaru!" The two jumped off of the building into the fray, and in no time at all a huge two headed wolf grew from the two of them, and Tenzou, and Kyogi hopped on, the wolf loping off to the north.

Hinata was quick to get moving again, and found herself at the Nara compound. Shikaku holding some men steady. While Hinata made her way in. Shikamaru was inside with Shikani, Shikana, and Temari. He groaned, and looked out a window. "Hey Hinata-chan. Great day to fight, huh? You got any news from the outside?" Hinata explained about everything, the Aburame, and the north, Tenzou, and Kiba, and Kyogi. Shikamaru took it all in. "Alright, well I have been given news from Hokage tower that that place is a good place to be. We've been seeing this zipping shape flying through the village streets, and catching everything on fire the is an enemy. That's your student, right?" Hinata nodded. "Well you find her to watch our backs, and we can get everyone to Hokage tower to help them out, but until then we are pretty much stuck in the compound. Also Inoichi is here. He's really bad off, and we don't have a medic ninja anymore to take care of him. The one from Hokage tower got his info off, and then an explosive tag took him out in one clean blow. Listen, we're crunching in here pretty bad, and my relatives are all losing chakra fast. It'd be nice if you could track down that girl of yours, and have her watch our backs until we get to Hokage tower. I think you would be the only one who could catch up with her."

Hinata nodded, and once again was off, this time to find what had to be Hazumi Ty Dao, her student. Soon enough she found Ty Dao's presence in the way of burn trails, and tracked the girl down as she was speeding through the east area of Konoha. Ty Dao only slowed down enough to see what Hinata was, and as soon as that happened she stopped entirely. Hinata stopped as well, but couldn't get very close for fear of being burned alive. "Go to the Nara compound. Help them get to Hokage tower!" Hinata cried from what had to be twenty feet away, the noise of battle around the two drowning out a lot of what she said. Still Ty Dao got it, and zoomed off toward the Nara compound, leaving Hinata alone in the fray. Was there any place left to go? Kakashi would have been taking care f Itachi, and Sakura. Still she would check just in case. In an instant she arrived at the now ruined Uchiha compound, the whole place having been burnt to the ground by Itachi's Amaterasu. She saw Sakura sitting against a burnt wall, Itachi standing over her. "Itachi-san, Sakura-chan!" Hinata called, and Itachi beckoned her closer.

As soon as she got closer another Hyuuga ninja closed in behind Hinata, but Itachi caught the man in his sight and the man froze in place from Itachi's genjutsu. Itachi was quick to deal with the Hyuuga, and come back to Hinata, and Sakura. "Why aren't you at Hokage tower, Hinata-chan?" Sakura asked, her leg cut open rather badly. "We'll be fine, Itachi has plenty of chakra to keep us safe until it clears up enough for us to get away."

Hinata shook her head, and took Sakura's arm. "Kakashi-senpai is coming for you, and I have come to help. Tsunade-sama told me to find everyone that needed help, and bring them all together. Come on. Itachi-san, please protect us as we make our way to the tower, Kakashi should be arriving soon." Itachi nodded in recognition, and Sakura stood up, limping along with Hinata as she leaned on Hinata for support. About five minutes after they started walking to Hokage tower a swarm of Hyuuga men arrived, Itachi guarding Sakura, and Hinata as best as he could, but they were just to numerous, and as the Hyuuga branch members closed in on Sakura, and Hinata the two women feared for the worst.

Still no attacks came to the two as eight ninja hounds came out of nowhere to help. Kakashi landed next to Sakura, and Hinata, fending of some Hyuuga members as he took Sakura. "Itachi-san, are you alright?" Itachi nodded as he finished off the last Hyuuga. "I'll carry Sakura to Hokage Tower, you two stay with me, alright?"

Hinata, and Itachi nodded, and soon enough the group was at Hokage tower, Sakura having her leg tended to, and Hinata checking in with Tsunade. Tsunade heard all of Hinata's report, and nodded a bit. "Alright, I am glad that so many areas have been covered." A medical ninja came to Tsunade, and told her something, and Tsunade smiled. "The Nara clan has been spotted outside, and we are going to back them up. They are only a block or so away. Also I have heard word of Might Gai, and Yuuhi Kurenai arriving at the village. They will be here shortly." Tsunade looked over as Itachi stepped into the small room. He looked worn, and battered, but he was still looking ready to fight. Still Tsunade shook her head. "No, Itachi... You should rest for now. I can tell that you have stressed those eyes far too much today. Go get what rest you can. I am not sure how bad this may turn out so you will be a trump card of ours." Tsunade looked at Hinata again. "Hinata, you too should get some rest. Since Kurenai, and Gai have already arrived at the village you aren't as badly needed. Besides, you look exhausted. All of that lightning jutsu must have worn you out."

Hinata had to admit that Tsunade was right. Hinata lightning travel jutsu was exhausting, and she had done so much of it that she could hardly walk anymore. She nodded, and sat down on a table. "What about the others?"

Tsunade shook her head. "The other teams will arrive when they do, Hinata-chan. The prison has just been broken out of, and we need you here, and rested. Please, get some rest while you can."

Hinata nodded, and stepped off of the table to rest in the lobby. The whole Nara clan had already arrived, and they were settling in. Temari saw Hinata and walked over to her, hugging the raven haired woman. "It's good that you have done all of this Hinata-chan. We were worried that nobody would be able to get us out of there."

Hinata smiled a bit, but a loud popping noise pierced the air, and a wave of heat rippled through the lobby. Hinata looked out the front doors, and saw Ty Dao, nude on the ground outside, her body burnt heavily. Hinata cried out in horror, and ran to Ty Dao who was unconscious on the ground. Several medical ninja swarmed Ty Dao, and carried her in, the young ninja's skin so hot that even the medical ninja were in pain from touching her. Tsunade stepped up, and sighed. "Get this girl to an ice bath, or at least a lot of cold water. We need to get her temperature down as quickly as possible if she is to live." Hinata was nearing crying, but Tsunade looked back at her, and placed her hands on Hinata's shoulders. "Hinata-chan, this isn't your fault. Hazumi Ty Dao did what she thought was right, and simply overworked herself. We'll do all we can to keep her alive, alright?"

Hinata nodded, and sniffed, another hand hitting her shoulder. Hinata turned, and saw a face that she had never expected to see looking at her by choice. Yamanaka Ino stood behind Hinata now, good as new despite her recent bout of injuries dealt by Hinata. "Come on Hinata-chan. We need to talk." Hinata hesitated, but Ino shook her head. "This isn't about us, alright, Hinata-chan? This is about what is going to happen. Listen, I understand that you snapped back then, and I forgive you, but I need to talk to you about some things since you have time for it all. Come with me."

Hinata reluctantly followed Ino to a room on the third floor, and the two sat down on a small bench. "Listen, Hinata-chan... I am sorry for all that happened. I shouldn't have sad any of that, and neither should Naruto have said such things. I now realize that not only are you not useless, or a freak, but you are a valuable asset to the village, and I am sorry I didn't see that before. I also want you to know that Naruto will forgive you as well. I have talked to him, and once he is done recovering he wants to apologize. I am willing to let Naruto go so you two can be together. Naruto has realized his stupidity, and I mine. I suppose after all of this you will be with him, and since Shikamaru-kun is taken I'll be stuck with Chouji-kun again. I hear the fat oaf has gotten back in Kono--"

Ino was cut off as Hinata's hand ran across her face in the form of a savage slap. "He is not a big oaf!" Hinata cried "And I don't want Naruto-kun! You would do best not to say anything more or else I may put you back in that stretcher that they pulled you out of Naruto-kun home in. I have a man that I love, and he is much better than Naruto-kun." Ino looked at Hinata , and blinked, too surprised to be insulted. "That fat oaf is the man I love, Ino-chan, and you never deserved him! Chouji needs someone who can understand how hard it is to chase after someone for so long, and the whole time find out that they laughed at him, and called him names. When Chouji gets back you will see what you are missing, and you will turn to him for forgiveness, and I can't believe I am saying this but will be happy when he looks at you, and tells you to that he won't take you back!" Tears streamed down Hinata's cheeks, and the Hyuuga turned to the window as a great bang sounded in the distance. She peered out, Ino right behind her, and at the very walls of the village a colossal Polar bear clad in black metal barding stood up, the figure of a gigantic man riding atop it. Akimichi Chouji had come back, and he had brought a family of gigantic Polar Bears it seemed to fight back.

Ino marveled, and looked at Hinata, but the Hyuuga woman only smiled, tears never stopping the stream down her cheeks in the distance four other gigantic polar bears showed up with armor, or blasts of arctic wind from their mouths. Chouji jumped down into the village, his figure a hundred feet tall at least, and with five steps he approached the Hokage tower, shrinking down to his normal size. Hinata had never moved faster without a jutsu in her life, but in seconds she was down two stories, and at the doors as Chouji walked in, leaping into him with impressive force. "Hey Hinata. I heard something was wrong so I came with help."

Hinata looked up at Chouji, and kissed him hard on the lips. Their moment of passion was, however, interrupted by a great "ahem". The two parted, and looked over to see Tsunade standing in the doorway of a small room smiling, her arms crossed. "When I asked for reinforcements in the letter I didn't mean five colossal polar bears, Chouji-kun."

Chouji smiled, and nodded. "Ya, but I have always wanted to make a dramatic entrance, you know?" Chouji smiled as he lifted Hinata up in one arm, the Hyuuga woman sitting on his lifted forearm as though she was nothing in comparison to what Chouji could lift which was probably the truth. "What's the status on the village?"

"Not good..." Tsunade answered. "The Hyuuga have decided to overthrow me, and the fact that the Shinobi Prison has been torn down, and all of the prisoners escaped isn't helping."

Chouji shook his head. "I have that all taken care of. One of the great bears moved there as I got to the walls. He is fastest of the ten bear lords so he will push back the prisoners, and make sure that they can't advance any more on the village. The ones here will be rounded up by the other bears, and put in their place. Now where is Hyuuga Hiashi? I have some business with him that I should have finished a long time ago."

Tsunade gasped. "Are you thinking of trying to take on the Hyuuga lord? You can beat him with as much chakra as you must have used summoning those bears."

Chouji chuckled. "You clearly don't know the ways of the polar bears. I summoned one little guy and he summoned daddy, and the whole clan to come help. You may not have noticed, but there are far more than those big guys out there. Five hundred normal sized bears are flooding the village to help right now. But in order to keep any innocents from getting hurt I need to know where Hyuuga Hiashi is, and I need to put a stop to his insanity."

Tsunade nodded reluctantly. "I wouldn't know where Hiashi-san is, but Hinata-chan would..."

Chouji looked a Hinata who still sat on his forearm. She nodded, and slid off, activating her byakugan. "He's at the heart of the Hyuuga compound. Are you sure you want to do this, Chouji?"

"Positive. "Chouji answered. "I have to do this. I have a score to settle with that man... Still you have to remember that if I do this Hiashi-san won't be alive anymore..."

Hinata nodded. "I know... He tried to kill me without pause... Please... End my father.. I know I can't."

Chouji nodded, and kissed Hinata hard on the lips. "Come for me after all of this blows over, Hinata. I have a bit of a surprise." Hinata nodded, and Chouji sank into the ground outside, gliding through the ground toward the Hyuuga Compound. Before long the Akimichi was at the gates, and leaped out of the ground into two Hyuuga guards. The place, of course, was swarming with branch family members, and none of them were going to let Chouji get in too far, but the Akimichi easily tore through them. Chouji searched each room, looking for the Hyuuga that really mattered. If Hiashi was killed then the Hyuuga branch family would all be let go of, and the fighting would all stop. When Chouji entered the very center room of the compound he saw his target. Hyuuga Hiashi sat in the center of the room, his face full of malice. "Hyuuga Hiashi... I have come to take care of you. I think it's only fair to give you the option of surrender... I'll give you one chance..." Chouji bit into the butt of his palm, and placed it on his head. "Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"

Yuji-Yuki appeared on Chouji's head, a grin wide on his face. "Bout time you called me back, Nii-chan Let's take this guy on!"

Hiashi stood up, and let his frown deepen. "You have been a thorn in my side for too long, Akimichi. You, and that whore that I used to call my daughter have ruined me, and this is the only way to remedy the anguish that you two have brought this clan. I need not surrender. I will defeat you, and that ridiculous little mongrel that sits atop your head. I have no clue how it will help, but I know such effects are negligible!"

Chouji chuckled, and spoke up. "So that's not an "I'm going to surrender," huh? Alright then. I'll have to take care of you one last time!" Chouji stepped up, and as months before he saw what he knew was going to happen unfold. Hiashi performed his amazing Hyuuga combo, the 128 strikes of the palm. Chouji took every one with pride, and by the time that Hiashi stopped Chouji still stood proud in front of him, unscathed. "You see Hiashi-san... I have something now that I neglected to use last time. Yuji-Yuki is my suit of armor, and you can't touch either of us with you attacks... Still have something far more mighty."

Hiashi roared with anger, and attacked once again, Chouji danced aside, and began his mighty polar kata. Enraged Hiashi began to strike recklessly, Chouji catching has arms, and freezing them in place. The dance lasted a minute or so, and Chouji's very skin began to freeze over. Yuji Yuki called to Chouji about something, but the dance continued, and finally at the end of the dance Chouji stood a living ice sculpture, Hiashi's arms frozen together, and fear in his eyes. "Hyuuga Hiashi... I warned you..." Chouji said slowly. "Now I have to undo the cause of the torture that Hinata has endured. I wish I could do something worse because death is simply too good for you. So I will instead capture you for all time in a blizzard that you can never escape!" With that Chouji grabbed hold of Hiashi's shoulders, and the man froze solid, a look of horror across his face.

Chouji's skin regained color, and the frost of his flesh disappeared, and Yuji-Yuki tapped him on the head. "Nii-chan! Are you alright? You have never done that Kata before!"

Chouji nodded, and sat down against a wall, looking at the frozen Hiashi. "Ya... I'm fine... I'll just rest here now."

Neji appeared soon enough, his eyes normal again. He looked at the frozen Hiashi, and looked at Chouji who waved, and he nodded. "I'll get Hinata-sama...." As Neji began to close the door he stopped, and looked back in through the crack. "Thank you Akimichi Chouji... The Hyuuga owe you everything for what you have done today."

A half an hour went by, and several Hyuuga had opened Chouji's door, but none bothered him. Hey all knew better. Chouji had rested, and had even sent Hiashi to the polar bear mountain where the man would forever suffer a blizzard that would chill his very soul. Chouji now moved about the room Yuji-Yuki next to him, the two doing the polar bear practice kata. Just to stay in share with it. The door slammed open, and Neji stood in the doorway, Hinata beside him. Chouji stopped, and Hinata ran up to him, kissing him fiercely, the two sharing a moment like none ever before. Still when they parted Chouji looked at Hinata. "I have somewhere to bring you, Hinata... It's a place that I swear I should have brought you a long time ago."

Hinata looked at Chouji, wondering what the man wanted to show her, but Yuji-Yuki answer her thoughts by disappearing, and along with him Chouji, and she were gone. They reappeared in a great frozen hall full of ice, and ten gigantic bears. At the end of the hall sat a monstrous Polar bear clad in brilliant black metal barding. A stern expression ran across his bear face, and he breathed out through his nose chill air. "Akimichi Chouji... You, a cub, wishes to wed this tropical flower?"

Chouji smiled, and looked up at the great polar bear. "I do, great polar King! I would go nowhere without Hinata, and I ask you to bless our love! Will you, or do you find something wrong with this binding? What say you?"

The bear looked at Chouji, and then to Hinata. All of the ten other giant bears also appraised them.. Finally after what had to be ten minutes of silence, Hinata too scared to shiver, the king bear spoke. "I... Bless this coupling. Yet I only do so on one condition. A month shall the two spend in these mountains upon the month of their marriage! Family must be made. Consummation must be initiated. Training must be done. Finally, a cub must be conceived! I, as he great bear king, has spoken, and my words are final! Upon this midwinter you are to return with a single witness. This witness will watch the marriage, and be the human to know it's truth! Is this acceptable, Cub?"

Chouji looked back at Hinata, and Hinata could do nothing but nod in amazement. He smiled, and turned back to the King. "This agreement is perfect. I, Akimichi Chouji, accept these terms, and so does my mate." Chouji breathed deep, and cried out with a great bestial call, and so did the rest of the bear in the hall, and for as far as Hinata could hear their were the sound of polar bears roaring out in joy. Were it not for the fact that she were so scared she would have cried out with joy as well. She couldn't believe what was happening, but it didn't matter, and as Chouji stopped crying out he stepped up to Hinata, and embraced her, the rest of the hall shaking with booming celebratory calls. It would be a wedding to remember come winter. She could hardly wait.

Wow! That was a big chapter. Personally I think it was a win for me as far as Fic writing goes. And yes, this fic is OVER!

But don't worry, don't fret! There WILL be a sequel! In fact I have the idea all set up. I know some of you may be like "Oh noes! ChouNata all over?!?" But you will be surprised. Another big, crazy, awesome word must be found, and another really awesome ChouNata filled fic will be made as the sequel to this one. Also remember all about Tazuya, and The Shadow village. They will be in the next fic too!

Stay Tuned!
