THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS.
IM SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE BUT MY FINALS HAVE HIT ME. I NEED TO PASS INTO THE TENTH GRADE.
Chapter 9-Hinata didn't know what to do. How on earth did this situation arise anyway? She glanced at Sasuke once more. He looked totally out of chakra. There were a variety of bruises and cuts decorating him, each one different in its shape and size. His state wasn't fatal but it was a hell of a lot tiring. The Uchiha had hardly fought much time with his blond (ex-)teammate. Naruto…the jinchuuriki had obviously used Kyuubi's chakra on him too.
The once Byakugan weilder just hoped that she wouldn't get hurt in her current position.
Flash Back-'This part of my mind,where I'm me,is always awake.' , Sasuke had said. And hardly a minute after he did, Naruto suddenly jumped into the scene and clashed with Orochimaru. Yamanaka-san was holding Sasuke's unconscious body and by the looks of it,it didn't look like the boy would render consiousness anytime soon.
Naruto, on the other hand, was fighting madly, rage evident in each and every one of his punches, kicks and attacks. The usually calm blue waters of his eyes were in a terrible red storm and his aura reeked of fury. His blue chakra no longer existed and instead, a bright red one glowed around him in the shape of a fox with 2 tails. The marks on his face were more visible and dark and his hair was unruly. His canines had lengthened so much that they were noticeable even with his mouth closed! And his hands…his hands were clenched into tight fists. So tight that his knuckles were white. Well, Hinata was sure that they would have been white if it weren't for the blood dripping off them.
The blond haired demon vessel also gave out constant growls and was taking in very harsh breaths. Naruto threw one attack after another at Orochimaru, not caring whether it damaged the surroundings and anything else. All that mattered to him at the moment was that he had to kill the snake s before him. The blacked haired Saniin was having a hard time defending himself. Somehow, he managed to form the hand seals for his ultimate defense. "Rashouman!"
As soon as those words left his grey lips, Naruto stopped attacking. He waited until the ultimate defense was fully formed before adding an extra tail to the chakra around him and attacking with a purple Rasengan. 'The chakra around him has three tails', Hinata was finally able to form a clear thought. 'T-This is bad. Naruto-kun is losing more and more c-control over himself a-as time g-goes. I-I didn't think him u-using K-Kyuubi's chakra would be t-this bad.'
It scared her. She was so scared that she even stuttered in her thoughts. She had never seen Naruto angry. Forget that, she never saw anyone this angry! Orochimaru too, was surprised, at the boy's burning ire. Why was he this angry? The question didn't need much thinking. Hinata. He was angry because Orochimaru had done this to Hinata. He was sick of the Saniin's stupid seals and methods.
Hinata stared wide-eyed. Even her controlled self was scared, she could feel it! A quick glance at Ino's dad told her that he felt the same. The scene was bad. Horrifying actually. If Naruto by any chance, lost control over Kyuubi's chakra…but at least it wasn't all that bad. Orochimaru was shaking in his shoes. He was losing badly, and the match had just begun. Naruto was attacking him so fast that he didn't havew time to properly dodge, defend or block let alone attack.
Personally, Hinata didn't want to get involved in the battle. But since her 'master' was losing, he called her forth. Even though she wasn't at the level at which she could fight, she would at the least, give him some time to form an attack.
End Flashback-
So there she found herself, suddenly in front of the black haired man, arms open and legs apart. The person she loved was in front of her, was still emitting a dangerous red chakra and forming what looked like Rasen-Shuriken in his right palm. But as soon as Hinata stepped into the fight, he stopped. The boy looked at her with confused and questioning eyes before remembering a second later that she was under control. And as soon as that thought hit him…he lost it.
He disappeared and suddenly re-appeared behind the blue haired girl. "Gomen", that's all her senses could pick up before being pushed into unconsciousness and that another tail was added to the jinchuuriki's current chakra. That made it totally four tails. Something told Hinata that four wasn't a lucky number.
Desperately, she established connection with Sasuke's mind again.
'S-Sasuke-kun?'
'Hinata-san!'…since when did he add "san" to her name? Not that she cared at the current moment. 'That chakra…is Naruto using…'
'I-I know about K-Kyuubi. And yes, h-he's using it's c-chakra.'
'Hinata, tell me, how many tails did he have when you last saw him?'
'A-Ano…I think i-it was f-four.'
'Oh crap. He lost it. He needs to have a minimum number of three tails for distinguishing friends from enemies.' Hinata made a sound that sounded something between a gasp and an exclaim.
'How d-do you know t-this S-Sasuke-kun?'
'Orochimaru fought Usuratonkachi(moron) before when he had four tails. He told me.'
The former Hyuuga had had enough. Why was this day so horrible? She didn't want to talk about battles anymore. And neither did Sasuke.
'Um…Hinata-san, you love Naruto right?' He heard a sort of squeak made by Hinata. 'Oh come on, the whole village except for the dobe knew with the way you acted around him.' Hinata blushed Magnitude 7 at that.
After a long silence, Hinata finally murmured a small yes. However, this time her next sentence took Sauke by surprise, 'S-Sasuke-kun, do you…l-like anyone?'
'I might as well tell it to you. Yes, I do.'
'R-Really?' she didn't expect him to really like someone that way. And even if he did, she totally didn't expect him to agree let alone tell her the girl's name!
'Sakura'
'S-Sakura-chan? F-For how long?'
'Since the Chuunin exams. But you never mind that. I think Usuratonkachi likes you too.'
'Huh?'
'Well, over the years he was bound to lose that childish infactuation over Sakura. And now, with the way he's fighting for you, it only has one explanation.'
'D-Demo, Naruto-kun f-fights and p-protects all his f-friends.'
'Hinata, he tries to avoid using Kyuubi's chakra at all costs. For him to suddenly charge in with four tails is not what happens everyday.'
'H-He started with two t-tails…'
'Hn. Whatever.' He sounded like his old self when he said that. He used to use that word a lot back then, didn't he?
Just as Hinata was going to speak, both she and Sasuke felt their second minds suddenly leave them. Sasuke responded to this first,'What the hell…?!'
I KNOW IT WAS JUST AS SHORT AND HORRIBLE AS THE PREVIOUS ONE BUT PLS REVIEW!
