Plan


Faster. She ran faster, straight for the machine. She didn't stop as she jumped in the air and destroyed it with a kick. Hinata attacked the new guards that had tried to stop her. More guards were flooding in now. Naruto couldn't sit there anymore. He jumped to his feet and knocked one of the guards fighting others as they moved in on him. "Hinata! Stop this!" Maya screamed.

"I won't let this happen." She said again looking at Maya with sad eyes. "Your whole life...it can not continue on this path." The guards grabbed Naruto bringing him down to his knees. "I can not let you control them. People are good Maya-sama. They don't need to be controlled. They can make the right decisions themselves. This country is set up with a democratic system. That is a good thing about this world, these people." She looked at Naruto who was now watching her. "About Naruto-kun and I. Because, we are human too."

"Hinata..." Maya stared at her. As well as Naruto, to him right now, she was so far away. So much higher than him. He felt like he would never reach her.

"We bleed." She looked at her arm, and at Naruto who was mostly covered in blood. "We were created, but we're humans. We are people and a part of this world, and this world is good!" She quickly destroyed the last of it. "Project Neko 49, deactivated."


Iruka yawned and unlocked his door. He walked in and set his keys down, he looked at the door for a second and sighed. He couldn't help but think Naruto was defiantly going to get kicked out. He couldn't afford to miss these past two days. "Hey!" Naruto called from behind him. He turned around seeing Naruto and Hinata both in his house.

"Naruto! What the..." He started.

"I have a good reason!" He defended.

"Like?!"

"PN49" Hinata answered simply. Iruka looked at her.

"What?"

"Project Neko 49." She answered. "I believe you are familiar with it sensei?"

"I..."

"Don't worry bout it." Naruto chimed in. "We already know a lot."

"How much is a lot?" Iruka asked.

"Project Neko 49 was created by a group of scientists looking for a quicker way to peace and ending war." Hinata started explaining as if it was rehearsed. "Among these scientists, the two most established were Maya Hyuuga, and you Iruka-sensei. You two created PN49. The project included two elements to reach it's goal; those elements were the Weapon, and the Key. When these turned out to be children, you Iruka, tried to stop it saying it wasn't right to use people. You tried to kidnap the children and save them from their fate, however, you only escaped with one child."

"Okay, she knows alot." Naruto corrected himself.

"Naruto is the Key, and I am the Weapon." Hinata finished with a sense of pride on her face.

"Oh." Iruka said. "I'm sorry." He sighed.

"Don't be, we just need a way out." Naruto said. "How do you stop this PN...or...something from activating?"

"You have to destroy the machine." Hinata and Iruka said together.

"If you already knew that, why didn't you say so earlier?" Naruto asked Hinata. She ignored him and looked at Iruka.

"We are looking for a little help in that area." She told him. "Would you be willing to help us get in and destroy it?" She asked.

"I don't think that is a good idea…" Iruka replied. "Look, everything'll be alright as long as you stay away from there…"

"It seems we do not have a choice." Hinata replied interrupting him.

"What?"

"They're already hunting us down." Naruto explained. Iruka's shock was clear on his face when he noticed the bruises Naruto had from they're little encounter with Leo. "We've been on the run for two days now, we can't do this forever." He informed him.

"So that's why you two have been missing for the last couple days. I never expected they'd find you Naruto." He said bluntly sitting down and breathing. "I can't let this continue…I'll help you as much as I can. For now, you two'll have to stay here til a good plan can be made."


"So that's it?" Naruto asked. "Seems simple enough…"

"Yes, I made it as easy as I could for you." Hinata answered and giggled when he made a face.

"That's mean…" Naruto pouted.

"You two seem close." Iruka commented.

"Yea well, I've had her livin with me for a couple weeks now." Naruto answered.

Iruka made a face. "You've been living with a girl alone?" He asked.

"Quit acting like my Dad…" Naruto replied almost shyly. "She needed a place to stay and Hio told me to watch over her."

"Hio? That guy is still working for Maya?" Iruka asked.

"You know Hio-san?!" Hinata almost jumped out of her seat.

"Yea, Hio's was a good friend of mine back then. He was so in love with Maya, but she was only ever obsessed with her work. He wanted to help me when I took off with Naruto, but he loved Maya so much he stayed with her. He wanted to see if she'd change over time. I think in the end, he was disappointed." He replied.

"People do change over time." She glanced at Naruto then looked back to Iruka. "It all depends on the person you are with, and what they can do for you."

Iruka couldn't help but smile. She was right, especially with Naruto. There wasn't one person in the world Iruka could think of that hated Naruto. He was a goof and sometimes he wasn't the smartest person in the world, but he was loveable.

"So, when we doing this?" Naruto asked.

"Tomorrow night." Iruka answered. "So get some sleep, you'll need it."


"NO!" Maya freaked, but Hio grabbed her shoulders and held her back. "I lived for that work!" She screeched trying to get free, but Hio held her tightly.

"I'm sorry Maya-sama." Hinata replied. The guards released Naruto as the situation became clear to them. Naruto got off the floor and walked over to Maya.

"Maya, we don't mean to take away your life's work." He told her. The glow around Hinata softened til it was gone. "But have you seen the world outside this lab? The people and places? How could you want to change that? Everything in this world is special and controlling people to make peace, that isn't real peace." Naruto looked at her sadly then offered her his hand to help her off the ground. "This world is great and…you could be part of it." Maya lifted her hand and as she reached for Naruto there was a gun shot and Hinata fell back. "HINATA!"

Iruka: Hey, I'm more important in this story then Kakashi.

Kakashi: Don't push it Iruka, I'll have to kill you.

Iruka: Heh heh…sorry.

Naruto: …Sensei…*sighs* Never mind.

Sasuke: Hee hee…Everything is blue.

Sakura: Sasuke…um…are you okay?

Sasuke: NO! … o.O I mean…YES!

Naruto: …

NearKunn: …Give me your drugs…*Sasuke sadly hands then over*

Sasuke: Bitch…
