Chapter TenIt wasn't as hard as Sasuke had thought it would be to infiltrate the base for the Hyuuga Organization. Although with Kyuubi and his men and Sasuke and His, they were greatly outnumbered, they were able to beat back the Hyuuga men quite easily. Sasuke was surprised at the lack of skill of this organization's men.
Kyuubi had brought along his strongest men, Gaara Subaku and his brother Kankuro, and Sasuke had brought along Itachi and Naruto. When they entered the base, they split into two teams and searched through the long, winding hallways for Neji. Sasuke and Kyuubi each had a headset to be able to inform the other if they found Neji.
Sasuke was beginning to feel anxious when an hour passed and no signs of Neji had been found. Sasuke and his team turned down the next hallway when a scream was heard from the last door on the right. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat and he ran down the long hall fastest than before. "Kyuubi, I think I found Neji," Sasuke said.
"I know, I heard the scream. I'll meet you there," Kyuubi's reply crackled through the headset.
Sasuke was almost at the door when he saw Kyuubi and his group run around the corner. No sooner had they reached the door and they heard another scream. Sasuke gripped the door handle and yanked the door open so hard it cracked the wall.
What he saw made his heart almost stop beating. Hiashi Hyuuga was standing over a bleeding and shaking Neji as his uncle breathed harshly trying to regain control of himself. Hiashi looked up at them as they entered the room and took on a look of smugness. The man began to laugh wildly and his eyes were glowing with barely restrained insanity.
Sasuke growled and launched himself at the man who dared touch his Neji. Yes, his Neji, because when this was done he swore no one else would touch Neji again or be able to hurt him.
For someone who was so obviously losing his mind, Hiashi Hyuuga was still an amazing fighter. He dodged almost every hit Sasuke sent him, and was even able to land some of his own. But Sasuke had something Hiashi didn't. Sasuke had the knowledge that if he killed this man he would have his revenge, and revenge for so many other people this man had hurt.
Finally, Hiashi fell back against the wall, and his eyes glazed over as the final thread of Hiashi's sanity was severed. Hiashi fell to the ground and started mumbling to himself and Sasuke couldn't bring himself to kill the man.
He left the mumbling man and went to Neji who had been covered up by Itachi's trench coat. When Sasuke knelt next to Neji he was surprised to have a trembling Neji launch into his arms and squeeze him in a tight embrace. He muttered soothing words into Neji's ear until he calmed down and then Sasuke picked him up and carried him out of the base.
The rest of the rescue team followed behind as they made their way out of the Hyuuga Organization, and back to the Uchiha Organization.
