Thank you all for the reviews. Hinata's going to be just as important in this story as Naruto is. So logically she'll be a dragoon too. Also I'm going to end this section of the story within the next couple of chapters and the begin working on its sequel which will be called Burning Earth.
Chapter 9: Light
Hinata awoke to see nothing but the darkness of a cave. The soil she lay on was cold and damp. She felt a sharp pain on her right hand. She heard foot steps coming towards her. She quickly laid back down to fain sleep.
Naruto, Chiyoko, and Zabuza arrived to a field littered with bodies.
"Oh my god…" Chiyoko muttered disgusted by the display in front of her.
"Where is that bastard?" Naruto yelled as he searched for survivors.
"Stop" Zabuza commanded.
"Why the hell should we?" Naruto questioned.
"These men were assassins."
"What?"
"Are you deaf? They're assassins, killers. BAD PEOPLE."
"So what? Is there a point to this fact or are you just stating random shit?" Chiyoko said more then asked.
"They weren't just assassins; they were the coldest ones out there. They deserve this death."
"Whatever…" Naruto mumbled as he cremated the bodies, "We still have to find him. Which way did he go Chiyoko?"
"Looks like he went east. Lets get going." She said as the three began following the wind dragoons trail.
Mirage could feel the three ninja following him, he moved to a more open area for the battle. One of them was immensely powerful. He didn't care about the other two. The sky began to darken as he felt Naruto coming closer at an alarming speed.
Hinata lay quietly as the two robed men spoke. She couldn't make out what they were saying but she didn't care. She was scarred more then she has ever been.
Naruto charged towards Mirage, blade drawn. The blade was on fire as Naruto landed in front of Mirage. He stabbed the blade into the ground ad screamed
"Explosion!"
