PART 10

Sasuke and Hinata froze. They looked over their shoulders and masked their surprise with an indifferent look.

Behind them stood Tsunade, who had yelled, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Captain Yamato. None of them looked drunk at all.

Sasuke thought, How did they find out? Was it Hinata? Did she really betray me?!

Naruto ran forward to them with a kunai in his hand, while Sasuke was distracted with his thoughts. Luckily, Hinata reacted quickly, and jabbed her fingers into Naruto's tenketsu and sent him flying back with a fast kick.

She threw 3 kunai with explosive notes to the ground, and released them. Smoke disguised them and they escaped.

Kakashi with serious look, said, "They used the smoke to disguise their scent too."

Tsunade was shaking her head in disbelief. "Hinata…she's a traitor now too. Have every shinobi search for them, including ANBU."

Sasuke and Hinata went back to the apartment, to change into more suitable attire, and to pack, for they were leaving the village.

Sasuke, a little guilty for doubting Hinata, said, "I'll meet you at the top of the Hokage mountain. It would be better to separate to throw them off."

Hinata nodded. Before Sasuke left the apartment, he stopped and said, "Hinata…thank you for coming with me."

She nodded again, and he left. After 2 minutes, she too left. As she raced to the Hokage mountain, she thought, There's nothing left for me here. I have no family and my own friend tried to poison me. All I have left is Sasuke. I'm sorry Neji-nii, but this is all I can do now. I can't do anything for the village.

Hinata quickly climbed the mountain, and met Sasuke there. The moment he saw her, he nodded and said, "Let's g-" He stopped, and Naruto jumped up from behind with fist ready. Sasuke blocked the punch and drew his katana.

Hinata was about to help Sasuke, when she sensed powerful chakra heading her way, and turned to see Sakura with a fist too. Hinata jumped away and activated her Byakugan.

She sent chakra to her fingertips and jabbed them into Sakura's wrists, and dropped to the ground and let her leg sweep under Sakura, causing her to fall.

Sakura's strong, but she's not that fast. "W-why are you helping Sasuke?" Sakura growled as she got up.

Hinata replied, "I'm sorry, Sakura-chan. Please, I don't want to fight you."

Sakura glared and said, "You won't win. I won't let you take Sasuke away. If you didn't sense the poison, you'd be dead."

"How did you find out about Jin being Sasuke? Why would you poison me?"

"DNA matchings. Hinata…you're a traitor. Before you say 'So is Sasuke', remember that you are disowned. He is the last of the Uchiha clan. Konoha has no need for you."

Hinata froze in horror and pain of memories. Sakura knew it was cruel to say it, and she didn't want to say it, but then again, it was only a distraction.

Sakura threw a kunai with an explosive note at Hinata.

Hinata jumped away in time, but Sakura sent a punch at her stomach, causing Hinata to gasp in pain.

"I overloaded the chakra you used to block my tenketsu." Sakura approached Hinata, who got up as if she wasn't hurt at all.

Sakura's eyes widened as Hinata pulled out a katana. Hinata formed seals and said aloud, "Suiton: Ice Whip!"

A string of ice formed from the tip of her katana, and Hinata lunged at Sakura. The tip of the ice however wasn't long enough, so Sakura smirked. But suddenly the ice stretched out and pierced Sakura's side.

Hinata yelled, "Kai!" Sakura looked at her feet and saw an explosion note, and she jumped away but the explosion burned her arm a bit. When she looked at Hinata again, the ice was gone.

Hinata got into delivered a Jyuuken to Sakura's chest, and leaned down into a strange stance. "Shukohake! Rokujyuu yonshou!" Sharp lines of chakra cut through Sakura's flesh.

She's fast! Small deep cuts formed at Sakura's arms and legs. Hinata said, "You can't move now. Sakura. You tried to kill me, but you are my friend. I can't kill you like this."

Hinata turned away, but Sakura, mustering all the strength she had left, lunged at Hinata with a fist.

Hinata spun around in surprise, and sent as much chakra as she could to her left palm. She pressed the same palm to Sakura's shoulder, and a thick line of chakra, as thick as a person's thigh, shot through Sakura's shoulder.

Sakura fainted in pain, and Hinata gritted her teeth in pain that shot through her arm. She hadn't perfected the jutsu yet, and it did great damage to her body.

Naruto's yell sounded behind them. The two girls were horrified to see Sasuke with his Mangekyou Sharingan and cursed seal state 2, and Naruto in his 3 tails form.

Naruto glared deep into Sasuke's eyes, and suddenly, he was caught in a genjutsu. Sasuke lunged at Naruto with his katana, but Naruto released the jutsu just in time.

Chidori spread through Sasuke's katana and red chakra rippled the ground beneath them from Naruto. Hinata ran at Naruto to seal his tenketsu, but was shoved back violently. She coughed up blood, and her vision began to blur.

But still she stood up, and formed seals. "Suiton: Ice Cage."

Suddenly Naruto was trapped in a prison of ice, but the Rasengan formed in his right hand, he broke free, but the Rasengan was headed towards Sasuke who had lost control over his Level 2 state. Sasuke began to form seals to summon snakes, but Naruto was to fast, and he didn't have enough time, so he began to run back slightly.

They were so caught up in the battle, they couldn't hear Sakura scream for them to stop, and they couldn't see the object that flashed between them.

Blood stained the pure white snow beneath them. Sasuke and Naruto's eyes were wide with shock. It wasn't Sasuke's blood. It wasn't Naruto's blood. It was Hinata's blood.

Well since you can see that I uploaded 2 chapters today, I was really bored. Although, I apologize for them being so short.
