Chapter 10: Because we care
Hinata slammed the door opened a sharp breeze filled the house making hairs dance on her face. She spared no time skidding outside and turning to the Sound ninja she put her elbows at her side fists forward as she ran. "Gentle Step; Twin Lion Fists!" She said as she pushed chakra to her fists forming blue lion heads on each. The lion's jaws were open in sharp fangs ready to consume her enemy's life energy in a dazzling light dance. She was approaching the Sound ninja just as he got his hands around Naruto's waist. Her fist met the man's side and his hands released Naruto as he went flying back skidding across the ground. He rolled to a stop and she watched in satisfaction as his chakra network drained. She glared at him until she was sure he couldn't do much but lay on the ground and breathe heavily.
The blue chakra continued to swirl around her hands as she turned her focus else were. She turned to the Hyuuga's standing on the veranda all looking at her wide eyed. She gave them all a nasty glare before she let the blue chakra wisp away.
Sakura ran over to Hinata's side and kneeled down next to her. "We have to get out of here before Hiashi stops us," Hinata said scooping up a screaming and crying Naruto. Sakura nodded quickly picking up Sasuke and relaxed a little feeling his heart beat. They quickly jumped away and heard someone scream something behind them along the lines of 'what happened here!?'
Kakashi had a large book of all recorded weddings standing up on his desk, or something like that he hadn't really read the cover, and he had placed his Icha Icha Paradise book in it so when his assistant came in to check on him it looked like he was still working. He flipped the page with a warm blush on his cheek as he read.
He slammed the big book shut when someone came crashing in through the open window. Looking he saw Sakura with a three-year-old Sasuke who was unconscious with a trickle of blood running from his ear and Hinata with a very loudly crying Naruto who was clenching his ears. "What happened?" Kakashi asked over Naruto's crying.
"Sound ninja a-and H-hyuuga ninja tried to take them away c-causing a large battle," Hinata explained having trouble admitting her families falter.
Kakashi's exposed face became the slightest bit angered, which was a lot for him. "Rini!" He called swerving his chair to face the door.
"Yes, Kakashi-sama?" Rini poked her head in, looking a little fearful having never been called in before.
"Get me a team in here," Kakashi ordered, "Quickly," He told her. Rini nodded quickly and closed the door her footsteps quickly disappearing. Kakashi turned to the ninja inclining his head at the boys, "How bad are their injuries?"
Sakura who had laid Sasuke down and already started examining him responded, "Sasuke seems fine. Thank god he only has some damage to the ear which I can repair with some time. I would have expected much worse with his ears uncovered when that Sound ninja used that awful sound Jutsu."
Kakashi gave a thoughtful moment his eyes hard as they lay on Sasuke. "Hinata, is Naruto okay?" Kakashi asked turning his gaze to her. He looked worried at the crying child whose screams had slowly died in Hinata's arms.
"I-I'm not sure," Hinata responded gently rocking the three-year-old her head resting on his. Hinata hadn't deactivated her Bakugan yet which turned out to be a nice asset to see if any bones or chakra vanes were broken. Luckily it seemed he was fine in the areas of what she could see.
Sakura got up and Hinata stopped rocking as Sakura ran her green glowing hands over the crying boy who was still very tightly holding his ears to the point his fingers were turning white. "He's got the same ear damage as Sasuke, but luckily that's the extent," Sakura said and the air felt a little more relieved.
All the ninja became attentive as they heard footsteps and the door swung open. Rini stood aside for the team to enter. Despite herself Sakura smiled the tinniest bit as Lee entered the room followed by three young ninjas, the only girl suited with a Chunin vest. "Ah, Team Lee," Kakashi greeted but it was rather flat.
"Kakashi-sama!" Lee greeted with a bow, his students did the same their bow just as deep as his.
"Lee I need you and you're Team to come with me to the Hyuuga compound," Kakashi told the man opening a drawer and pulling out a red scroll. Kakashi gave Hinata a calm look as he stood up seeming ready to leave, "Wait here. I'll be back."
Hiashi waited patiently for Kakashi on his small raised area with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He blatantly ignored his family as they tried to blame each other for the failure of their plan. Hiashi was trying to be talked to, but he didn't want to be part of this argument. It was in the past now and he'd have to deal with the blame anyway.
Everything got very silent as the door slid open. Hiashi opened his eyes to see two Hyuuga standing defensively at Kakashi who was shadowed by the man who had been on Neji's team and three younger ninja were staring down at the Sound Ninja in the yard. "Not much backup, Kakashi," Hiashi state simply signaling for the guards to relax.
Hiashi was very respected and even in this situation Kakashi did not want to offend the man sure there was a perfectly good reason for his actions. "I didn't suspect you would try to attack us," Kakashi replied walking past the few Hyuuga in the room who were giving him glares. He sat in front of the clan leader his straight poster suggest the seriousness of the situation as he pulled out a scroll. His eyes ran over it, "You will be charged with attacking another fellow leaf ninja and not only that but for your own power, correct?" Kakashi asked lazily but had a stern stare.
Hiashi's expression hardened slightly in a small scowl. "I did not attempt something like this for my own benefit," Hiashi said letting hints of venom poison the words. Did Kakashi think so little of him? "I believe that if the Hyuuga were to obtain the Sharingan and Rinnegan we could become an even stronger asset to Konoha," He explained calmly. A few of the other clan members gave small nods of aproval.
"And how is Uchiha Sasuke not equaling the same amount of strength along with you?" Kakashi asked raising an eyebrow slightly.
Hiashi had a short thoughtful moment before responding calmly, "The ninja is yet a boy and not only that he has been reduced to a toddler. If enemies were to try to attack Konoha he could not help in his condition."
"I understand that, but he will regain his strength," Kakashi retorted calmly his eyes scanning the man for anything else. He avoided talking about how cruel the Hyuuga's plan was for the growing tenseness in the room was not comforting.
"No one knows the lasting effects of the Jutsu," Hiashi responded his expression wiped clean.
Kakashi sighed, "Well we don't know if it even has any either. Assumptions aren't always favored," The Hokage said his eyes became locked with the clan leader. Hiashi obviously had an argument, but he seemed to wisely let it go and accept his punishment. The other clan members were giving him small scowls in the silence. "Sasuke is still young, but he has been through more than he should have," Kakashi added quietly as he turned back to the scroll. "Your trial shall be on the 26th, in two days," Kakashi said getting a small curt nod from Hiashi. Kakashi stared for a little before getting up and waiting as the Hyuuga parted to let him past.
Hinata continued to rock Naruto his sobs long lost in the past once Sakura had healed his ears, but his shaking had yet to seize. She had realized she was slightly shaking too. She had been so scared. What if the Sound had actually captured Naruto? They probably would have killed him. She felt so utterly sad for Naruto, for the toddler in her arms, that at any moment someone could pop out and try to kill him. What an awful life. There had to be some way to improve it. She hoped she had been making it better, but the days play out had only proved she wouldn't be able to protect Naruto. She had almost let him get captured.
"I wanna go home," Naruto whimpered into Hinata's neck his fist held clumps of her shirt.
"I-I'm sorry Naruto-chan you'll have to wait," Hinata said running her hand down the back of his head comfortingly. Hinata looked up at the empty Hokage desk sighing and looking back down at the small boy in her arms. It had been at least an hour what could be taking him so long?
"Sorry for the wait guys," a familiar lazy voice greeted. They looked over to see Shikamaru dressed in his ninja get up with his hands in his pockets.
"What's the news?" Sakura asked sparing the greeting. She looked at him from the couch where she had Sasuke's head on her lap. Her fingers were placed around his ears as green chakra glowed from her hands.
"Well, Kakashi told me the situation and is meeting with the elders to discuss the outcome," Shikamaru explained walking over to Kakashi's desk and taking a seat in the Hokage's chair, something rather disrespectful to a Hokage. Shikamaru pulled open a drawer and opened a file flipping through some pages talking as he did, "Sakura if you were wondering, Ino's fine. The Hyuuga just knocked her out. She woke up a little while ago and started complaining so I think she's okay," he informed.
"Oh, that's good," Sakura said with a small blush. Truthfully she had totally forgotten about Ino.
Shikamaru didn't seem to notice or he simply didn't care. He stopped flipping and started reading over something quickly before leaning back in the chair. "I doubt this will happen again, but it would be best if we have ANBU guarding Sasuke and Naruto along with you," Shikamaru told them his eyes falling on Sasuke and shifted to Naruto.
"I don't think that's a good-" Sakura was cut off.
"Shikamaru-kun, I agree," Hinata said ignoring Sakura who gave her a surprised stare. "S-Sakura, we obviously n-need help. The Sound knows about them now s-so it's probably best," Hinata told Sakura hesitantly not wanting to argue with the woman.
"But, not everyone knows about them. Don't you think having ANBU guard two toddlers makes it rather suspicious?" Sakura asked looking from Hinata to Shikamaru.
"Well of course but it's better for the truth to be out there and be protected then to hide it and fear," Shikamaru said nonchalantly. A thoughtful silence fell over the room and Sakura looked down at Sasuke who looked oddly peaceful. "Plus you wouldn't even notice the ANBU. You could say they would be the kid's guardian angels," Shikamaru added scribbling something down on the papers.
Hinata felt Naruto shuffle a little and looked down to see the toddler was looking at Sasuke and Sakura with wide eyes. His shaking had started to stop, but he seemed either angry or worried, it was hard to tell with his small fist gripping her shirt tightly.
"Okay it's settled then, I'll assign four ANBU to set up camp outside the house and keep an eye out. Just know that if Sasuke or Naruto leave the house there will be an ANBU in their shadow," Shikamaru said taking out four ninja files and closing the folder. "You all look tired, I would suggest getting some sleep back at the lodge," Shikamaru said giving them a small smile and standing up. "See you around," he said holding up a hand in goodbye as he left the door putting his hands in his pockets and files under his arm.
Hinata walked through the gates of the of Hyuuga compound. The purple light of the sleepy sun duly showed her way as she rubbed her eyes from the long day's mission. She got to the door, but it slid open before she could get to it. She was about to look up when She was thrown into an embrace. She gasped slightly as her arms were pressed against her body between her and the man. She relaxed when his sent met her, the comforting scent she wished she could always smell. Trees and clean air, Naruto's smell. "How was your day?" A matured voiced asked a hand being placed on the back of her head, "I missed you," he whispered.
Hinata let her shoulders drop and she leaned her head into Naruto's chest, "It was exhausting."
"Well isn't every mission?" he joked peeling off her keeping his hands on her shoulders. Hinata smiled having to crane her neck a little to look up into his sparkling eyes. One of his hands slipped down her shoulder and down her arm to her hand were their fingers intertwined, perfectly fitting with the other. Naruto leaned over and Hinata closed her eyes letting a small blush appear on her face as she leaned in.
"Hinata," a voice floated into Hinata's consciousness as she slowly rose from sleep. "Hinata, we have guests," Hinata opened her eyes slowly to see Sakura with a hand on her shoulder gently shaking her. Hinata slowly sat up a book falling off her chest. She looked around recognizing she was on the couch having read Naruto a book since both toddlers had trouble getting to sleep since the attack yesterday. It seemed Naruto had gotten up though and ran off; his and Sasuke's giggles were echoing throughout the house.
A large blush grew on Hinata's face, she had been dreaming! She brought her hands to her face in embarrassment as her cheeks turned red. She had dreamed about dating Naruto! It was such a nice dream…
"Hinata, are you okay? Did you have a nice nap?" Sakura asked with a small chuckle bringing Hinata out of her own world.
"O-oh yes, I'm f-fine," Hinata said seeing other people and slowly straightened up placing her hands on her lap.
"Oh yeah, our friends came over," Sakura said turning to the small group at the door. Lee, Tenten, Kiba -plus Akamaru-, Shikamaru, Ino, and, interestingly, Temari all stood in the entrance to the lodge giving her amused smiles. She wondered for a second where the others were then remembered they had missions.
Hinata's blush came back, but she smiled none the less. "H-hello," Hinata greeted standing up and combing her hair with her hands.
"Yo," Shikamaru greeted lazily.
"Good morning Hinata-chan!" Lee greeted enthusiastically, even with his own team now he was just as energetic as ever.
"Good to see you guys," Tenten greeted with a large smile and small wave.
"Hinata!" Kiba burst out looking rather angry, "You and Sakura never hang out anymore! What's the big idea?" Kiba asked.
Hinata giggled, "Sorry Kiba-kun," She said smiling faintly.
Tenten smacked Kiba on the back of the head, "We didn't come her to yell at her, you idiot!" Tenten said angrily at the dog tamer.
"O-oh it's okay Tenten-chan," Hinata said with a small giggle smiling at her friends.
"What's the pleasure of your guys visit?" Sakura asked as Kiba sat on the couch with Akamaru on the floor. Shikamaru joined them and Temari awkwardly followed sitting down near Shikamaru, neither complained at how close they were.
"We came to cheer you up and hang out!" Ino explained with a smile.
"Really? I should actually be doing something for you," Sakura chuckled awkwardly smiling at Ino.
"Its fine I only got a bruise and Kakashi said my apartment's damage bills will come straight out of the Hyuuga's pockets," Ino said smugly. She suddenly gave a nervous look at Hinata, "Sorry, I mean…"
"No it's okay," Hinata stopped her, the least her family could do was pay for the damage.
Sakura saw Hinata's smile and smiled too, "Do you guys want something to eat?" she asked clapping her hands together.
"Yes, but I'll take care of it! Don't worry!" Ino said giving a small thumbs up.
"I will join you!" Lee announced. Ino bit her lip and let out an unsure moaning sound as her hand dropped a little.
"You guys d-don't have to its okay," Hinata argued not wanting to make her guests do any work.
"Yeah seriously guys we can do it. We don't want to work you in our house," Sakura said taking a step toward them.
"Nope! We're cooking and that's final! Come on Lee!" Ino said grabbing the man and dragging him into the kitchen seeming to forget her unsureness.
"But-! Oh whatever," Sakura said with a sigh looking at the small group.
"Mama!" a high pitch Uchiha voice bounced as it descended the stairs. "Naruto licked me!" Sasuke called running around the couch and over to Hinata. The room went silent at the boy's appearance as all eyes fell on him. They were mostly surprised at Sasuke's mother accusation.
Hinata felt her blush getting redder by the second. There was small footsteps and soon Naruto skidded from behind the couch. The boy was wearing his tiny socks and seemed to have been running too fast and skidded past the couch and coming to a ruff fall.
Sakura snorted in amusement until Naruto looked up at her with big eyes. "Naruto…" she groaned a little, the boy was always getting himself injured! She walked over to him and picked him up before he could start crying. The boy clung to her for a few seconds before seeming to notice the eyes of everyone else in the room. "Oh! everyone this is Naruto and Sasuke," Sakura introduced smiling at Naruto and bouncing him a little.
"Nice to meet you again Naruto and Sasuke," Kiba spoke up first standing up and walking over to Sakura. "High five little man," He said holding up a hand with a smile. Naruto stared at him for a little before he pressed his small hand to Kiba's large one. The boy did it rather slowly so it wasn't exactly a high five. Naruto giggled at this and looked up at Sakura as Kiba let his hand down and winked at Sakura showing he remembered their situation.
"Naruto, Sasuke," Sakura looked at Sasuke to get the boys attention, "This is Kiba," She said pointing as she began to introduce everyone, "That's Tenten, Shikamaru, and Temari. Ino and Lee are in the kitchen," Sakura told the boys.
Sakura placed down Naruto and the boy stared at everyone for a little before running over to the couch and climbing up to sit on Temari's lap. "Oh… Um, Hi," Temari said awkwardly getting a chuckle from Hinata. Naruto sat staring at Temari before reaching out his hands swiftly aimed for the chest. "Oi!" Temari yelled grabbing the boys hands before they could reach.
"Naruto you almost got a touch!" Kiba joked laughing loudly and surprisingly getting an angry stare of reaction from Shikamaru.
"Naruto!" Sakura said with a huff putting her hands on her hips a clear scowl on her face. Naruto let his head fall back and he fell backward slightly to look at her upside-down his small wrists still in Temari's grip. "Don't feel up woman! It's very rude!" Sakura scolded. That damn Jiraiya! He'd turned Naruto into a pervert!
"Yes I agree," Temari said an annoyed look on her face, "I would not recommend groping a ninja," she said her grip visibly tightening. "You might find yourself in trouble!" She said and, to everyone's surprise, attacked the boy's side with farting noises. Even Shikamaru looked surprised as the boy wiggled and giggled struggling free of her hand jumping to the floor running behind the couch still giggling. Temari straightened up with an amused smirk. She seemed to notice the looks from everyone, "what? do you assume I have never taken care of children before?" She asked with a slightly challenging expression.
They all laughed a little and from their conversation bloomed while Naruto went around trying to be part of it all while Sasuke stayed close to Sakura and Hinata.
"Kiba-kun please be careful," Hinata called as Kiba chased a giggling Naruto around the house.
"I know Hinata, no need to worry!" Kiba called back. Bang, crash! "Akamaru!" pause, "It's okay! Totally didn't break anything! I think…" Kiba's voice floated back. Hinata sighed and shook her head a little hoping he really hadn't broken something.
Sasuke shuffled from his spot between Hinata and Sakura. The boy held his toes with his small hands and looked at everyone. He was distracted by the smell of food and his stomach growled eagerly.
"Hey Sasuke, how old are you?" Tenten asked the boy. Sasuke looked over at her hearing his name but seemed confused by the question.
"Oh!" Sakura perked up, "Sasuke you're turning four years old today!" She said happily giving the boy a pleasant grin.
"Yay!" Sasuke cheered smiling, but Sakura was sure he still didn't understand what age was but was just returning the happy reaction.
"What a surprise! I just finished making cupcakes!" Ino's voice called from the kitchen.
"Cupcakes!?" Naruto's small voice asked happily as he ran into the room followed by Kiba who looked tuckered out while the toddler and dog were bursting with energy.
"What else can make one feel better than sweets!?" Lee said enthusiastically getting a giggle from the girls.
Most of them hadn't touched the lovely food Ino and Lee had prepared since they were all waiting in anticipation for Naruto to start eating his cupcake. The boy had insisted he eat it first then have the meal. They all knew it would be entertaining so they were watching as Hinata placed the plate in front of him and one for Sasuke. Naruto made a happy giggling noise and stuck his hand in the cupcake getting a giggle and small head shake from Sakura as she videotaped the moment. "Happy birthday boys," Hinata said happily patting Naruto's spiky hair. It was like their first birthday all over again except Sasuke was being much more careful and was trying to pick it up and eat it instead of shoving pieces in his mouth like Naruto. They all giggled as Naruto leaned down to try to bite it but just ended up getting frosting everywhere.
Naruto had consumed the sweat with the result of frosting smeared on his face and crumbs sticking to his sticky fingers. Sasuke had frosting around his mouth but had stopped eating a while ago saying it didn't taste very good and was left less messy than Naruto.
The boys were quickly cleaned off at the sink by their guardians. Naruto squirming in Sakura's arms the entire time she was trying to get the frosting off his face. Eventually, Sakura gave up and Hinata stepped in. To Sakura's dismay, Naruto stayed perfectly still for Hinata and didn't say anything as the woman gently whipped away the smears of blue frosting. Sakura sighed and picked up Sasuke bringing him back over to the table and setting him down next to herself.
"Quite the mess makers," Tenten commented looking into the kitchen at Hinata still trying to quickly clean the boy.
"Yeah, Naruto can be bad. Never give the kid a marker. I don't think I will ever get the marks of my legs," Sakura said getting a chuckle from the group as they watched Naruto and Hinata. "Sasuke's pretty good about it, though," Sakura said ruffling Sasuke's hair. The boy froze like always when she did the hair ruffle then shrunk away once she was finishing. Sakura let her hand float in the air for a little as she felt slightly disappointed the boy wouldn't warm up to her more.
"How long till your missions over?" Ino asked Sakura her eyes resting on Sasuke who was picking at his food even though everyone else was waiting, no one really minded though, he was a toddler after all.
"You know what I'm not actually sure…" Sakura admitted trailing off slowly trying to guess. "Probably when they turn ten when they became Genin," Sakura said taking a random guess, because when they get their memories back they'll still be only five. A five-year-old has little to no chakra storage and they wouldn't be able to defend themselves so who knows when Kakashi will feel safe enough to let them go.
"N-Naruto-chan, please sit," Hinata said having set the boy in his seat only to have him stand up to try to reach a flower set in a vase. The boy sat down and seemed to forget about the flower in a matter of seconds.
"Ino, Lee, thank you for the meal," Sakura said giving them a small thankful bow.
"Thank you very much," Hinata said bowing along with Sakura. She was very grateful since Hinata was tired and any meal she prepared would not have been up to the Hyuuga's standards.
"No need to thank us," Ino said waving a hand in front of her.
"You are welcome Hinata-chan, Sakura-chan!" Lee said giving them the thumbs up and winking at Sakura whose smile turned into a slightly disturbed frown. "Sakura…" Lee whimpered having seen her look he withered away slightly. Tenten snorted at her teammates ever-failing attempts to hook up with Sakura.
"But you don't have to thank us, we did it because we care," Ino said giving Sakura and Hinata a sympathetic smile.
Sakura smiled back at her and sighed happily while Hinata blushed and smiled at their friends.
"Let's eat!" Naruto called loudly getting everyone's attention and some giggles, the boy sounded like his old self again. The toddler didn't notice the looks as he attacked his food with the chopsticks.
After a moment, everyone started chowing down on the delicious looking food. "Um… So any interesting missions lately?" Sakura asked everyone before the silence laid on too thick. She got multiple replies and stories started branching off and before she knew it chit chat filled the table.
Hinata listened to all the interesting stories and felt a welling pride and joy for her friends, she didn't realize how much she missed being around them.
Hinata felt a pull on her sleeve, "Hina," a small voice piped up.
"Yes, Naruto-chan?" Hinata asked looking at the boy noticing bits of rice stuck to his face.
"How do you use choh stocks?" Naruto asked holding a chopstick in each hand.
"You mean chopsticks?" She asked turning her body to face the boy.
"Yeah choh sticks," Naruto said holding them up to Hinata forcing the woman to back up a little so not to get stabbed in the eye.
"Okay Naruto-chan," Hinata said gently. Taking the chopsticks from the boy she set them down and examined what he had done to his food. It looked like he had just moved stuff around because normally he would just down food, but it seemed he really was struggling. "Naruto can you hold your chopsticks like this?" She asked holding up her hand as an example. Naruto picked up his again and tried to position his small hands like Hinata's. He made a small groan in annoyance as he tried very hard but was failing with one chopstick perpendicular to the other. He looked at her with big eyes looking rather beat up about it. "It's okay Naruto-chan, do you want me to feed you?" Hinata offered.
"Yeah!" Naruto agreed. He bouncing a little where he sat in excitement. Hinata gave him a small smile and scooted her chair closer to his. She grabbed a piece of chicken and rice holding it in front of Naruto who grabbed her wrist and put his mouth around the end of the chopsticks. Hinata giggled and blushed slightly as the boy smiled at her as he chewed.
Hinata continued to feed him and while he was chewing she observed. Hinata watched Naruto enjoy himself, it made her happy. Naruto had generally been a happy person, but after the war he had become slightly more withdrawn and serious about everything, it was almost saddening. Hinata loved Naruto's fun side, even if it did mean he got in trouble sometimes. The man she loved was so amazing and she wanted to help him. She wanted to make Naruto happy again.
Extra: Temari and Shikamaru
The two ninja from different villages had their fingers entwined as they walked the forest road away from the Chunin lodges having made sure no one was watching. They usually walked in silence but tonight Temari had something on her mind. "Shika darling," She started using her playful nickname for him.
"Yes?" he asked turning his head slightly to her.
"What do you think about children?" Temari asked nonchalantly.
Oh great, she's talking about kids. Shikamaru tried not to show the frown he was feeling as he answered, "I think they're troublesome."
"Was the question not enough to forge more of an answer from you?" Temari asked raising a playful eyebrow at her boyfriend.
Shikamaru sighed and looked heaven word. The woman was working him tonight. "I think they're a lot of work for nothing. Someone has to carry them for nine months then they come out screaming and crying. You have to clean them, feed them, and watch over them till they don't want you to anymore. Then they get rude and start talking back. Then they leave and that's that," Shikamaru explained not giving it to much thought really. He truthfully loathed the idea of having children.
"You don't give enough things a chance," Temari said simply her tone seeming neutral on the matter.
"Well maybe we can talk about this if we get married," Shikamaru said casually. A suspenseful silence fell on the couple as they walked. The silence was torn by their sudden outburst of giggles.
"Us getting married? Yeah right," Temari said through her amused snorts. The couple giggled for a little before they both went silent their hands still held together as they walked.
