Chapter 11
No! Not here! Not like this! Hinata screamed in her head as Naruto stepped closer.
Naruto grinned menacingly and placed a rag in Hinata's mouth. "As much as I'd love to hear you scream, I can't have you attracting unwanted attention. We need to be alone in order for this to work."
Relax, Hinata. At least he is taking the first step. You just need to calm down and enjoy it…but if I have a gag in my mouth, how will I…
Naruto laughed and put his fingers into a hand sign.
Suddenly, Naruto disappeared into a puff of smoke. In his place stood Kabuto. (See? Naruto wouldn't rape her….yet mwhahaha)
Hinata felt a strange mixture of disappointment, relief, and fear, all at the same time.
Kabuto smiled and raised his arm over her head. Hinata closed her eyes and thought of Naruto. Then her world went black.
Meanwhile, Naruto was walking back to his house. Suddenly Naruto felt a stab of hunger as his stomach growled loudly. While he had been innocently eating his ramen, the damned fox had woken up for some reason. Naruto had been flooded with evil chakra and had snarled at Ayane.
The old man had kicked Naruto out without even letting him take his left over ramen. Naruto figured that he could eat the ramen he had at home and headed there immediately.
Upon arriving at his front door, Naruto felt a familiar chakra. Then he was overcome with a sudden uneasiness and anxiety. A kunai suddenly whizzed past his ear and stuck to his front door. On it was a note.
It read: If you ever want to see the Hyuuga girl again, come to training ground 17.
Naruto reread the note in disbelief. I can't believe it! (I know! Naruto saying he can't believe it how strange!)
Red chakra started to flow out of Naruto. His eyes curved into slits and his teeth grew and sharpened into fangs. He took off at top speed, running down the street on all fours.
Kabuto, meanwhile, had tied the unconscious Hinata up to a tree. However, as Kabuto tightened the ropes, Hinata began to stir.
Her head hurt and her vision was hazy, but she ignored the pain as she tried to place her surrounding.
She quickly realized that she couldn't move her arms or legs. She looked down and it all came flooding back to her. Kabuto had tied her up in the alleyway and had knocked her unconscious.
She looked back up, searching for Kabuto.
"Looking for someone?" Kabuto said, directly behind Hinata.
"I assume you're looking for that Naruto-idiot. It's a shame he is about to walk into his own grave. And all to save poor little you."
Hinata gasped and her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to be saved, but if it meant that Naruto had to risk his life, she would rather die right there and then.
Kabuto laughed. "Aw… I hope I didn't make you feel guilty. It's not all your fault he is about to die."
Hinata glared at him, hatred filling her eyes. She had never hated someone as much as she hated this man right now.
"What's this? Do you hate me now? Then why don't you say so? Come on, tell me how much you hate me!" Kabuto reached over and pulled the gag out of her mouth. But before he could pull his hand back, Hinata bit down, hard.
Hinata tasted blood, but bit down harder, until Kabuto furiously ripped his hand away.
"You bitch!" He pulled his arm back and curled his hand into a fist. He threw his fist towards her face with lightning speed. Hinata closed her eyes and braced for the inevitable pain.
But… it never came. Hinata opened her eyes in surprise and her vision was blinded by orange.
"Naruto!" Hinata gasped.
Naruto had one arm wrapped around Kabuto's holding his fist inches away from Hinata's face.
The other arm held a kunai and was securely placed at Kabuto's throat.
Hinata, however, was staring at Naruto. He had those red eyes again and Hinata knew this wasn't good.
Kabuto smiled. "I see. Naruto, you have improved greatly."
Suddenly, Kabuto's hands became covered in a blue chakra. He reached up, quickly striking the arm that Naruto had grabbed him with. Having freed his other hand, Kabuto delivered a series of quick blows all over Naruto's body.
Kabuto jumped back to a safe distance and shouted to Naruto. "It doesn't matter how good you have become, Naruto. Without those vital muscles, you won't even be able to stand."
Naruto hung his head, his eyes becoming hidden underneath his bangs. A red tail began to form out of the red chakra that was oozing out of Naruto.
Suddenly, he burst forward, running at Kabuto with a kunai in his hand.
What?! He shouldn't even be able to stand! How can he run like this with his muscles so severely cut?!
Naruto took a swing at Kabuto with his kunai , but Kabuto was too quick and ducked below the knife. But Naruto threw his other arm at Kabuto, and nailed him in his chest, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"I see." Kabuto said, coughing up blood. "The kyuubi truly is a frightening opponent. I'd almost forgotten your healing capabilities. It's almost too bad you can't say the same thing about the Hyuuga girl."
Kabuto whirled around and threw several kunai at Hinata. Hinata closed her eyes as the kunai flew towards her. Suddenly, she felt warm blood splash onto her face.
She opened her eyes, finding no wounds in her body. She looked up into red eyes.
He had several kunai in his back, but there was no wince of pain on Naruto's face.
Hinata looked into his eyes, seeing the anger and hate in them. This isn't Naruto! She thought But there was something else. She could make out the hidden signs of pain and loneliness that she had seen in Naruto's eyes before.
However, there was something else in them that Hinata had never seen before. An emotion she never thought Naruto could feel. Fear.
What could be frightening him so? Was it this evil chakra that enveloped him? Or perhaps it was something else…
Suddenly, there were several soft thuds as the kunais fell out of Naruto and onto the ground. The wounds instantly disappeared, leaving no scar in their place.
Hinata gasped. What's happening to him?
Naruto had begun screaming in agony as the red chakra swirled around him furiously. A second tail began to form, intensifying Naruto's screams.
Then, Naruto stopped screaming, and he became deathly quiet. Suddenly he smashed his hand into the ground, filling it with his chakra.
A claw made out of pure chakra exploded out from the ground beneath Kabuto. The claw grabbed Kabuto and slammed him into the ground, repeatedly and then it threw him against a tree.
Once again, Naruto screamed in agonizing pain as a third tail began to form. The chakra began to bubble off Naruto's skin, leaving intense burn marks on his skin.
Kabuto wiped the blood from his face, as he stared at the three tails made of red chakra. He was no match for him now. This was getting out of hand. If he stayed any longer, it was likey that he would be killed.
Kabuto formed his hands into a hand sign and he began to melt into the ground. "Mark my words, Kyuubi. I will be back and you won't be so lucky next time." He said as his body disappeared.
Naruto dived at the spot where Kabuto had vanished and dug his claws into the ground, but Kabuto was no where to be seen.
Naruto let out a huge roar and a beam of pure chakra erupted from his mouth, decimating everything in front of him. Trees were ripped from their roots and torn to pieces.
Naruto had put all his anger into this howl and when he finally stopped the tails had already begun to disappear. The red chakra retreated back into his body and Naruto's physical appearance returned.
He stumbled towards the tree where Hinata was tied up. He managed to cut the ropes binding her, but his energy was spent and he passed out.
Hinata leaned forward and caught him before he could hit the ground. She pulled him close and looked at his face. The fangs were gone and he had a somewhat calm look upon his face.
She hugged him tightly and began to cry into his shoulder.
"Uh… is this a bad time?" Kakashi poked his head out from behind a tree.
Hinata gasped and quickly wiped her eyes. "You're his teacher…Kakashi?"
"Yep!" Kakashi smiled making his eye into an upside down U.
Kakashi turned around, admiring the damage Naruto caused. "Wow! Any long and he would of destroyed the whole forest!" Kakashi laughed as if he had just told a hilarious joke.
"Mr. Kakashi? What is Naruto…? How could he take all those wounds and not even have a scratch?"
Kakashi's smile faded and he voice turned serious. "I'll tell you since you already saw him like this, but you will have to promise not to tell anyone else. Naruto will tell everyone when he is ready."
"Tell us what?"
Kakashi sighed. "First of all, do you remember the Nine Tailed Fox that attacked our village years ago?"
"Yes. I've heard about it. It killed my mother and many others. The Fourth Hokage killed it right?"
"No. The kyuubi couldn't be killed. However, the Fourth was able to seal it inside a newborn baby. He sacrificed his life to do this."
"…So.. Naruto… i-is.."
"Yes. Naruto lost both his parents that day and was cursed with being the Kyuubi's cage. The other villagers didn't understand this and blamed Naruto for their loss. They have hated him and beaten him since birth."
"W-Who else knows?"
"Only the people who were alive when it happened. The Third made sure that no one was allowed to speak of Naruto's condition in hope of Naruto having a normal life. But that didn't happen at all, instead he has lived one of solitude and fear."
Kakashi walked over to Hinata and held out his hands. "Here. Let me take him to the hospital."
Hinata let go of Naruto and Kakashi gently placed him on his back. He turned to leave, but stopped suddenly and turned back towards Hinata.
"You know, after Sasuke left, Sakura has been to busy to talk to Naruto so he has been alone for a while. He needs a friend now more than ever." With this Kakashi raised his hand and disappeared.
Naruto needs me? I can't let him down! I won't! Hinata thought as she raced towards the hospital.
Meanwhile, Kabuto was reporting his mission to Orochimaru.
"The Kyuubi's power is increasing very rapidly. It wouldn't take much to break the seal"
"Good. We will let him progress for a while longer and then we will make our move."
"Yes, sir" Kabuto bowed and shrank away into the darkness.
"The Kyuubi's power is one to be feared. If the Akasuki were to get their hands on it they'd be unstoppable. I must dispose of Naruto when the time comes." Orochimaru said to himself.
