Team 7 were on their mission jumping through the woods, Hinata was lagging behind a little and in her own little world. After a while of running they stopped for a break and to have a quick bite and so Kakashi could inform them of the mission.
"Okay guys, "Kakashi spoke up, "Here is our mission, we are to head to a temple on the very outskirts of the land of Fire they are being overrun by bandits, they have a few warrior monks but not enough. They can't continue to withhold against this type of force. We are to get there and liberate them. Understood?"
All the genin nodded, "Yes sensei."
Kakashi nodded, "Naruto, can I have a word please."
Naruto nodded and went over to Kakashi, "What's up?"
"Several things," Kakashi told him," First off, when I tell you we have a big mission the next day and dismiss team training, and our training, I better never find out you exhausted yourself the night before training because you can't get shit out of your head. If I find out you do it again I will suspend you from team activity for at least a week, if not have you demoted. When we have a mission the next day, I do not give a fuck what happens, nor that you have incredible rejuvenation. You are not only risking your life, but your squad's life. If you are tired you can't properly perform your duties, putting everyone at risk. Are we clear?"
Naruto looked down, ashamed. He had never thought about that before, "Yes sensei, I understand, we are clear."
Kakashi nodded, "Good, the only reason I allowed you to come today, was because I know you have never been part of a team before, it's always only been you. I know what you are going through Naruto, I have been there, but you have to understand this isn't healthy. Naruto, I understand getting stronger, but this thing you do to help you sleep at night, it isn't healthy. It would be different if you could sleep without doing that, but you can't. I won't stop you from doing it again, however that is only if you don't have a mission the next day."
Naruto nodded, tearing up a little, "Thank you Kakashi, thank you for actually caring."
Kakashi nodded and hugged the boy, "Now the other thing, Hinata, she is out of the game right now, she is distracted, I can't tell her anything she will be upset that I as her sensei knows that she is distracted, it will kill her confidence. I need you and Shikamaru to get through to her. Talk to her now, I am going to scout ahead."
Naruto nodded and headed back to the group.
He appeared in the clearing and spoke up, "Hinata, I bought us some time we need to talk. What is going on, you are distracted, why?"
Hinata blushed, "I-I r-really c-can't tell y-you t-that Naruto."
Naruto shook his head and was about to speak when shikamaru spoke up first.
"Naruto, go ahead and scout with Kakashi, I will talk to Hinata. If it is about Kabuto, you can't ask her to talk to you, her ex-boyfriend, don't worry I will hear her out."
Naruto stood there for a second, staring at the two thinking it over, before finally nodding. He disappeared from the clearing leaving the two to talk.
"Thank you Shikamaru, you really don't have to sit here and listen to me." The young girl told him.
"Hinata, you are like a sister to me, of course I will listen to you, you need someone to talk to, and it shouldn't be Naruto, especially if this is about Kabuto like I think it is." The boy genius replied.
Hinata looked down at her shoes, "I know I am distracted, I'm sorry I'm letting everyone down."
"Hinata, it's okay, why don't you tell me what all this is about." Shikamaru told her.
"It's Kabuto, he made a move last night, and I let him…I let him…" Hinata teared up a little, she felt dirty right now. "I let him touch me, he groped me, and I just let him. I don't know why, I don't want to go this fast, but I just let him anyways."
Shikamaru's eyes squinted, he was pissed, but he quickly dropped it, "It's okay Hinata," He hugged her comforting her, "you were probably just caught up in the moment. It happens."
Hinata nodded, but didn't seem okay, "Why is everything going so wrong for me?"
Shikamaru was about to reply when out of nowhere, he heard something whistling through the air. He dodged, and pushed Hinata out of the way. 5 blades stabbed into the ground next to where the two had just been.
Shikamaru jumped back sliding on the ground with his hand down on the ground, almost in a 3 point stance. Hinata was gone though.
7 shinobi walked out of the shadows, one of them holding Hinata. She was on her knees, the man had a handful of her hair pulling it so her head was back, with a kunai to her throat. The one holding Hinata spoke up first, "Quietly, hands up and surrender or she dies right here."
Hinata was clearly in pain, grunting, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Shikamaru don't do it, please, I was too slow, don't let me bring you down, please."
The man standing to her right kicked her in the ribs to quiet her down.
Shikamaru glared at them, but then grinned, "Shadow Possession Jutsu: success." Shikamaru with his hand on the ground, had hardened a shadow and had it dig through the ground and catch the men's shadows. He made the man holding Hinata to let her go.
She stood up and walked over to him, holding her ribs, the kick had hurt quite a bit.
Shikamaru grinned at her, "Hinata go get Naruto and Kakashi. I can't hold these guys for long."
The leader of the group grinned, "You can't hold me anymore at all, that is a great jutsu, really phenomenal, however there are limits, you can't hold an opponent that vastly overpowers you. Now you have to try to hold my subordinates, while I fight your little friend. Or let them go and help her, but then it is 7 to 2. Your option, think she can fight me?"
Shikamaru was pissed, "Who are you? What do you want with us? We are not at war with you, you should have no issue with us. You are from the mist correct? Why don't we both just walk away and forget this."
The man grinned and laughed at Shikamaru, "We are a band of missing nin. You and your teammate here are responsible for putting part of my team in prison, I think you will remember, Zabuza's team?
Shikamaru cursed, as the man continued," My name is Oboro, I was once a member of the 7 swordsman of the mist. We were on a mission to rescue Zabuza and his team, and lucky us we run into the team that put them in their prison." The man began to laugh again.
Shikamaru grunted, holding these guys was tough, not much he could do now. He ran through plans in his head, none would work.
"Hinata run, I will do my best to hold them off, please go now, we can't fight them." Shikamaru told her, Hinata paused, conflicted.
"HINATA! GO NOW!" Shikamaru yelled at her.
Hinata turned and jumped into the trees, Oboro went to follow, however Shikamaru threw a kunai with an explosive note on it. Oboro jumped back as it exploded.
Oboro was instantly on top of Shikamaru, he hit him in the back of the neck dropping him.
"You made a mistake in your calculations boy." Oboro told him as he passed out.
Oboro blurred into motion going after Hinata. He reached her within 20 seconds and stopped her. Oboro appeared in front of Hinata and grabbed her throwing her down into a clearing.
Hinata hit hard and bounced up slightly before landing hard again. She got to her feet and Oboro dropped down next to her, getting into a fighting stance. Hinata got into a fighting stance and stood staring at Oboro.
He laughed at her but she wasn't having it, she was fed up with all of this.
"You're in my range." Hinata stated, going into the 8 trigrams stance. She rushed forward, "8 Trigrams"
She hit him twice "2 palms"
She hit him four more times "4 palms"
She hit him eight more times "8 palms"
She hit him sixteen more times "16 palms"
She hit him thirty-two more times "32 palms".
She stepped back breathing hard, she had hit him, she grinned, but it was short lived as Oboro laughed, reached over to her and grabbed her by the neck and squeezing. Hinata brought her hands up and tried to get the man to let go. He only laughed and continued to squeeze.
"You are weak, you call yourself a ninja, but you are just a little girl playing ninja, filth." Oboro told her as he spit in her face, in utter disappointment.
Hinata continued to grasp at his hands, trying to gulp in air, legs kicking out trying to make contact but to no avail, as the spittle rolled down her cheek. Hinata struggled for another second before finally going limp, the last thing she heard was Oboro laughing at her calling her a weak pitiful excuse for a ninja. She passed out utterly humiliated.
Author's notes: Yes I know Oboro was not actually a name of one of the 7 swordsmen, he is an oc, I will discuss him more in the next chapter. He was an oc in the original write of this, which is why I kept him in the story. Please Read and Review
