Chapter Forty Three

Danzo hid in his underground sanctuary away from the madness above. But he was not alone; Koharu and Homura were with him to discuss urgent business. Things had not gone according to plan with New Hope Research appearing again. This wasn't good at all.

"How long have you been in contact with New Hope Research Danzo!?" Koharu barked. She wanted answers for her fate as council member was on the line here with New Hope Research appearing again. "Niles said that he would never come out until his research was finished!"

"I've been contact with him as long as you and the elders from all five of the Five Great Nations have." Danzo answered calmly. "He says that his work requires that we capture the Horde leaders and as many of their Locusts alive for his experiments."

"He came and left a message for Tsunade! Do you know what that means for us!?" Homura shouted. He could hardly imagine what was going through the Hokage's head right now with the knowledge of New Hope still being in the east. "If any of the five Kages were to find out about what the elders of this village and the others did all those years ago and that we have been secretly funding his research here in the World of Ninja then we could face the death sentence for what we have done! We tried to cover up this shock appearance as an opportunity for the village to Tsunade! What if she finds out!?"

"Tsunade is a fool like her master; she won't realize what has been going on in a day." Danzo answered still sure of himself. "So long as the feudal lords don't know that we have been funding New Hope Research for the last sixteen years then we are safe."

"I still don't like how he has chosen you as his closest business partner." Koharu said. "We were the ones who first confronted him. We should be the ones to negotiate business with him. That is why we encouraged Tsunade to make contact with him, so that we can monitor what he is doing."

"So long as the Horde leaders continue to believe that it was the five Kages who sent them and the rest of the people of Uzamakigakure to their doom then things will go according to plan." Danzo said. "There is no need to use Tsunade to make contact with Niles; she wouldn't even fall for that trick anyways. It's probably better if we try to stay away from him and New Hope for now. We can't afford to be seen because of out bursts like the ones you two showed earlier today. We agreed that after Tsunade's death I would be the one to take her place as Hokage. When she is eventually assassinated by the Horde I will become Hokage and New Hope Research's work will prosper here in the Land of Fire."

"Or so we hope it will." Homura said. He was still skeptical about what Niles wanted from the Five Great Nations and the entire World of Ninja. "I still say that what Niles is doing won't entirely benefit this village or the World of Ninja."

"I have a good connection with him. He will trust me." Danzo said. He didn't want to think that his plan would go wrong. "Once he creates a utopia here in this land in the far east, I will be the one who serves at his right side. I will lead something greater than a village and I will be something greater than a Kage. Soon there will be perfection."

Koharu and Homura admired Danzo's optimism but they didn't exactly like where things were going with New Hope Research. They thought that they were doing the village and the World of Ninja a favor, but now they were beginning to have their doubts as well as fear of what was to come. What did Niles need from the Horde and what did he really want to do?

Meanwhile, back in the village, things were already getting worse. The Lambent were still looting and doing committing the most horrid and degrading of crimes. As some Lambent stole any valuables in the wreckage of homes, others were beginning to turn to the people of Konoha to fulfill their sick pleasures. Many were now torturing the people with sick games of life and death and others were beginning to rape the women of Konoha!

"Come here you little bitch!" One Lambent Drone said as he pinned down Ayame with one hand holding her wrists down above her head on the ground and another hand undoing his belt buckle.

"Get off of me you fiend!" Ayame screamed with hot tears running down her face as the Lambent Drone got his pants further off and began to grin an evil perverted grin. "NNNOOOOOO!!!"

"NOW TAKE IT LIKE THE WHORE YOU ARE!!!" The Lambent Drone said as he got his pants off and began to pull Ayame's off until a kunai went flying into the Drone's head killing him. Ayame was saved!

"Are you alright miss?" The Anbu who had killed the Lambent Drone that was inches away from stealing Ayame's virginity. The Anbu then helped Ayame back up as she pulled up her pants and began to cry tears of relief. "You need to evacuate the village along with everyone else. We don't know what these enemies are going to do. We need to evacuate all remaining non-nin from the village before anything worse happens."

"What about my father? He's the man who owns the ramen bar in the village." Ayame sobbed as she wiped away her tears. "Did he make it out alive?"

"He's safe miss. Right now we need to-!" Before the Anbu could finish, what felt like an earthquake began to happen. Suddenly a giant yellow worm with six sharp legs and mouth full of sharp teeth burst out of the ground screeching. Similar things happened in other parts of the village. The worms Yama summoned earlier had arrived!

Ayame screamed as the Anbu picked her up and took her away from the worm as it smashed its head down on them. It then began to spit acid at the people and buildings below. Mass destruction was happening now.

"Shit, we need to get out of here!" The Anbu said as he jumped away with Ayame in his arms. More Anbu arrived and began to attack the worm with every projectile and technique they could muster. One Anbu came out from the crowd of new comers and hit the worm with a storm of poison needles; it was the one silent Anbu from before. The newcomers then approached the Anbu carrying Ayame. "Thank God you're here. This thing just came out of nowhere."

"The Seeders are all dead so radio communications are back." One of the new Anbu said. "We got signal that three other worms like this one appeared in different parts of the village. Apparently they can all spew acid and are using it to melt the village."

"Great, just what we need, acid spewing monsters to do us all in." The first Anbu said as he handed Ayame over to another Anbu to take her to safety. "Alert the Hokage and let her know what is going on. We need to make killing these worms our top priority."

"She already knows and is fighting one right now as we speak as well as one of the Shindo brothers." A second new coming Anbu said. "We left a squad to help her and the others fighting but we need to regroup our numbers to make a more effective stand against those things."

As the Anbu began to talk about their objectives, the worm lunged out at them with its razor sharp teeth. The Anbu dodged and watched as a house went down in smoke from its head. Things were bad and only getting worse.

Tsunade was now facing one of the Lambent worms with Chishiki, Shizune, and three Anbu at her side ready to fight Shinji who was now standing on the head of the beast. Shinji laughed as he looked for the most likely spot he could find his brother.

"Look grandma, it's been fun but I got things to do. I'll let the worm here do you in." Shinji said as he noticed the Chunin Exam Stadium in the distance. He smiled as he made the assumption that that was where Kite was. "I'm gonna go see what big bra Shindo is doin'! Sniff you dicks later!"

"Get back here!" Tsunade shouted as Chishiki launched out his threads but missed Shinji by inches. Shinji laughed at their failed attempt at capture and flicked them off as he got away. "Damn!"

The worm then turned its attention to Tsunade and the others below. The final fight for the village's safety had begun.

Shinji got back to Kite and landed next to Hanabi as he jumped down from the roof of one of the stadium walls. He then grabbed Hanabi's face and looked into her frightened eyes. He liked seeing an inflicting pain on girls worth raping; it turned him on, the sick teme.

"Hey Kite, we got any dildos or something to use on this little doll here?" Shinji asked as he got closer and pressed his face against Hanabi's. Hanabi began to cry hot tears of terror. "Oh yeah, cry, cry like a little bitch. Ah, God, I am so fucking hard now from all this."

"Cool your cock Shinji; we need to wait for the older one to arrive with the Jinchuriki." Kite said as he began to think about some of the ideas Shinji had for Hanabi and actually began to consider raping her right here and now for Hinata and Naruto to watch. "Feel free to touch her in the mean time though."

"No, I'd rather wait so dear 'Hinata-onesan' can watch." Shinji said as he grabbed Hanabi by the hair and began to sniff her. "Mmmm, smells good."

"Get off of me!" Hanabi shouted as she threw her head against Shinji's face and bit his chin. Shinji let her go and withdrew his face to feel his face bleeding yellow blood. He then glared in rage at Hanabi and smacked her across the face with the back of hand.

"Fuck you bitch!" Shinji shouted as he struck Hanabi a second time causing her face to bruise, her nose to bleed and causing her to cry. "I'll pimp slap your ass!"

Kizu watched from some tree tops with his Byakugan waiting for the right moment to strike. He needed the two invaders to weaken down in a fight then he could take them on and save the day. He would make Naruto look useless this way and he would have something to use in convincing Hiashi to allow him to take Hinata as his bride.

Shinji was getting impatient. He wanted Hinata to show up now so he could mess with her and her sister more. He wondered if she even heard the first warning. Shinji got out his gossip stone and began to talk into it while channeling chakra into it so that the big gossip stone in the village could broadcast his message. He had the best idea to speed things up.

"Attention douche bags and douche bag-ets, we need Naruto and Hinata to hurry up here so I can get this job done, get paid, and find myself a kitty house afterwards so I can get my fuck on." Shinji shouted into the gossip stone. "I am not at liberty to reveal the location of the younger Hyuga be-atch so I will let her tell you so things can hurry the fuck up!"

"I'm not going to say anything." Hanabi said. She turned away from Shinji. "I'm not going to let you hurt Hinata-onesan or Naruto-kun."

"Do you want us to rape you little bitch!?" Shinji shouted in anger.

"I'd rather suffer than let my sister be put through whatever it is that you have planned for her!" Hanabi said trying hard to stay strong in the situation she was in.

"Do you want the whole damn village to send reinforcements to stop us you asshole!?" Kite shouted at Shinji was now holding Hanabi's face tightly and about to crush her jaw with his grasp.

"Shut up Kite. With the worms here, no one besides those two will be able to make it here." Shinji said as he let go of Hanabi and began to smile as he prepared to make Hanabi talk. He got out the pocket gossip stone and began to talk. "It seems our little princess is shy so I'll make her talk for us!"

Shinji thrust his hand on Hanabi's chest and began to rip at her jacket. He was going to stripe her!

"Let's see now, has she hit puberty yet?" Shinji said into the gossip stone over Hanabi's screams of terror and agony. He felt her chest and to his disappointment he couldn't feel what he wanted to feel. "Nope, guess not! Let's check the drawers shall we!?"

"Get your hands off of me you pervert!!!" Hanabi shouted as she tried to twist her body free but couldn't with the stone bindings on her body. "Someone please help me!!!!"

"Okay, feelin' for somethin' nice here, and what do we have here!?" Shinji said as he pulled out Hanabi's underwear. He then felt them between his fingers. He then let go and pulled her pants down further. "Wow, I guessed right, they're white! Now let's look at the sweet spot now, shall-"

"HINATA!! NARUTO!!! I'M AT THE CHUNIN EXAM STADIUM!! PLEEEEASSSE!!! PLEEAASSE HELP ME!!! I DON'T WANT TO BE VIOLATED!!!!!!!" Hanabi screamed at the top of her lungs into the gossip stone with Kizu still watching and waiting for Naruto and Hinata to show up. He was grateful for Hanabi's big, loud mouth which most likely alerted Naruto and Hinata. He was right and so was Shinji; Naruto and Hinata were the only ones who could save her right now with all the worms in the village.

Back with Naruto and Hinata who had just gotten back to the village, Hinata was in a panic. She heard Hanabi's first scream but the second one put her into a panic. Hinata ran through the rubble filled streets of Konoha ignoring all gun fire on her and Naruto. She had to save her sister!

"Hinata wait! What if this is some sort of a trap!?" Naruto shouted as he struggled to keep up with Hinata with snipers, Grenadiers, and remaining Reavers firing at him. "For all we know, the stadium has been rigged to blow when we get there!"

"I can't wait here when my sister is about to be raped Naruto!!" Hinata shouted with angry tears in her eyes. She wasn't going to let the Shindo brothers have their way with Hanabi! "We need to hurry or else they might actually do it!!!"

"Hinata hold up!" Naruto shouted as he dodged a missile from a Reaver and was blown towards Hinata. "Crap! This isn't good with all these monsters here! And it looks like the worms that Yama guy was talking about has arrived too!"

Hinata didn't say anything. She was too panic stricken, too scared, too worried about Hanabi, and too mad to stop now as her sister was being held hostage. Naruto caught up with her and ran beside her as she led the way to the Chunin Exam Stadium. Little did they know that their relationship would be put through a hard test of how far Naruto would go to protect Hinata.

As the young couple was heading for the stadium, someone else from the Hokage's residence was heading for the KSTF station. He was the man who had been spying on Tsunade and Shizune the day before when Tsunade had sent Naruto and Hinata to the hot springs. The man checked the corners for Locusts and ninjas before heading into the building. He then found the keys to the holding cell where Hao was kept. The man then approached Hao who was sitting there in gloom and despair that his life had not ended yet. He then looked up at the man who was about to let him go.

"You're coming with me." The man said as he got the key out. Suddenly people came down on him, grabbed the keys and put him into a submission hold. It was Inoichi and Shikaku.

"No, you're coming with us and you're going to explain why you're here when the village is under attack." Shikaku said as he dragged the man out of the KSTF station and Inoichi took the keys away.

"There something special about Hao that you want to tell us?" Inoichi asked as the man began to struggle to free himself from Shikaku. "Why are you here when all hell has broken loose?"

"I'm not telling you shit! Let me go! Shit! Why did this have to happen!?" The man shouted in a panic of what would happen to him. From the looks of it, he wasn't with the Horde and he was with another party but the question was who.

During the chaos, in a corner of the village where one of the Lambent worms had appeared, a group of ninjas were fighting against the beast. Amongst them were Sakura, Kakashi, Kotetsu, Izumo, Yamato, and Sai. The fight was going successfully because of their combined efforts. As the worm spat another stream of acid, Yamato was preparing for a technique to hopefully stop the beast.

"Don't let him spit acid! I need to be able to hold it still without it burning away the wood!" Yamato shouted as he finished his hand signs. "Sai! I need a distraction now!"

"Right!" Sai said as he drew a pack of lions that he brought to life and unleashed on the beasts on the worm. "Art of The Cartoon Mimicry!"

The worm soon lunged forward at Sai who was now to fear stricken to move. Kakashi jumped out and pulled him away before the worm ate both of them. Yamato then made his move.

"I got him!" Yamato shouted as he pressed his right hand down on the ground and large roots came out of the ground to hold the worm down and hold its mouth shut. The worm then began to use its sharp legs to pick the wood off of its body. "Get it now Sakura!"

"Right!" Sakura shouted as she came crashing down on the beast's head with her fist. The worm stopped moving and appeared to be dead. Sakura started panting for breath, she had been fighting nonstop today with the invasion. "I don't think it's gonna get back up."

Suddenly the worm started moving again and threw Sakura off of its head. She and the other shinobi there got ready to take it down. This was going to be harder than they had originally expected. Kotetsu was growing impatient with the fight. He wished there was another way to end this fight. His prayers were soon answered when he saw the corpse of a dead Reaver lying by.

"Hey Izumo! Fuck this shit and get over here!" Kotetsu shouted to Izumo. "I got an idea to kill this thing here and now!"

"And what would that be?" Izumo asked as he threw shuriken at the worm that was now going after Kakashi. The worm ignored the small projectiles and Izumo turned around to see what Kotetsu was talking about. His eyes grew wide with shock as Kotetsu flipped the Reaver back up and took hold of the mounted gun on its back. "No way, no, I'm not doing what you're thinking of doing!"

"It'll work! Trust me!" Kotetsu said as he took aim. "There is another gun here in the back! I think it fires explosives! Use it!"

Izumo reluctantly took hold of the mounted gun and took aim along with Kotetsu. They were going to use the Horde's weapons against one of their own monsters.

"Die you son of a bitch!!" Kotetsu shouted as he closed his eyes and fired the machine gun turret. There was some vibration on the handles of the gun as he fired which started him and made him face an inch away from the worm before he got back on track. "Izumo! Am I hitting it!?"

"We got it! Just hold on!" Izumo said as he fired a shell at the worm blowing its head off. Izumo let go of the shell launcher the moment he felt the gun get forced back by its firing. "I can't believe we just did that!"

The group went to inspect the body for a moment. It had yellow blood pouring out of it like the glowing Locusts. Something wasn't right about this, the worms from Akumu's invasion had red blood like any other creature but this worm was different.

"What do you think it is sensei?" Sakura asked Kakashi as she looked at the worm's head lying in a pile of rubble. She was too afraid to touch it.

"I don't know but I have a feeling that this isn't natural." Kakashi said as he looked at the worm's corpse. "Let's go, we need to kill those other worms."

"But what about Hanabi? We just heard that message of where she's at over that giant speaker that appeared in the village." Sakura said. She heard Hanabi's first scream and she didn't like the situation she was in.

"Someone will rescue her but right now we need to focus on these worms." Yamato said. He looked into Sakura's eyes and saw guilt; she was still feeling bad for what she did to Naruto and Hinata. "Let's go! There is one last worm we need to kill."

Sakura followed Yamato and the others to where the next worm was said to be. She began to think about how she made amends with Hinata after all the terrible things she said and did to her and how they all seem meaningless. She made Hinata cry, she made Hinata abandon her character to almost kill her, she caused Naruto so much unnecessary pain, and now she was acting like words alone would make up for all of this. Sakura's conscious told her that she needed to do more than just say she was sorry; she had to do something to make up for what she did. Sakura fell behind the group heading for the next worm and began to head for the Chunin Exam Stadium. Sakura followed her heart but her heart was going in a direction that led to a situation that called for more than just feelings of repentance.

Naruto and Hinata arrived at the Chunin Exam Stadium. They walked to the center of the stadium ground and looked up at where Hanabi was being held hostage. Kizu watched with his Byakugan from a safe distance. His plan was falling into place.

"Yes, now all I must do is wait for the situation to get bad, wait for the Jinchuriki to use his powers and then come in as the hero to save the day and the girl from the beast and bad guys." Kizu thought as he grinned with his twisted thoughts of having Hinata. "This is where it ends for you Jinchuriki."

"Looky here! They made it!" Shinji said as he walked up to Hanabi, grabbed her face and licked her cheek. Hanabi began to cry again. "Looks like the bait worked. Amazing what people do for their families!"

"Let Hanabi-imoto go you teme!!" Hinata screamed as she watched Shinji start licking her more.

"We might let her go." Kite said as he began to take off his mask revealing a man with short black hair and a go-tee on his face. He then looked at Hinata who was glaring at him for what he did to Hanabi. Kite then pounced on Hinata with his saw off barrel shotgun pointed at her head. Hinata froze when she saw that she was at point blank. "If you and your guy pal here come with us quietly."

Hinata quickly ducked and rolled out of the way of the blast but as she got back up, Kite ran up and kicked her in the stomach knocking her back.

"Hinata!!!" Naruto shouted as he ran to help her. As he neared Kite, Shinji pounced on him and kicked him the head sending him skidding across the ground.

"I'm all yours pal! Now forget the girl and come get some!" Shinji shouted as he pulled out his SMGs and fired at Naruto who got up and rolled out of the way. Naruto tried to use the teleportation technique that Jiraiya tried to teach him but it still didn't work right. "Someone is fixin' ta gets their teeths kicked in!"

Hanabi watched the horror below as Kite nearly blasted Hinata's head off again with his shotgun. Hinata ducked and palm fisted Kite's chest but she withdrew her hand the moment Kite's chest turned into a yellow goo. Kite then threw a round house kick at Hinata which knocked her down again. Kite then got Hinata between his legs and aimed for her head. Hinata reacted quickly to get him away from her.

"Dangan: Bullet!" Hinata shouted as a stream of chakra shot through her hands and made Kite jump away from her. He continued to do so as Hinata shot more streams of chakra at him. Hinata activated her Byakugan and took a fighting stance. This wasn't going to be easy. "You'll pay for what you did to my sister!"

Naruto was already against the ropes while fighting Shinji; his stretchy limbs wouldn't even allow Naruto get close to him. Naruto dodged one arm but was with an uppercut from Shinji's other arm. As Naruto went up into the air, Shinji thrust kicked Naruto and sent him a good distance with his stretched out leg. Naruto was now a good distance that Shinji could fire at him without a problem.

"Eat lead asshole!" Shinji shouted as he fired at Naruto was now running for dear life as the bullets trailed behind him. "Chicken shit!"

The moment Shinji spoke, six doppelgangers appeared behind him and pounced on him. Shinji turned around and shot down the doppelgangers but as he did, two more appeared at his sides with kunai drawn. Shinji was too late to do anything and both doppelgangers stabbed him in his hands causing him to drop his guns. Shinji grabbed the two doppelgangers and smashed their heads together causing them to disappear. Shinji looked forward and the real Naruto was there with a fist ready. Shinji took a straight punch to the face sending him back onto the ground. Naruto had two doppelgangers disassemble the guns as he charged after Shinji. Shinji kangaroo kicked Naruto while he was on the ground and threw Naruto behind him. Before Naruto hit the ground, Shinji grabbed him by the ankle and began to whip him onto the ground like a rag doll before throwing him away.

"Naruto!" Hinata shouted in fear of what happened to him. Suddenly she heard something behind her. With her Byakugan she could see emergence holes appearing in the stadium. Locusts were now going to join the fight! Before she could do anything, Hinata was given a right hook to the face in the time she was distracted. Hinata fell back towards one of the emergence holes and Locusts seized her the moment they popped out of the ground. "Ah! Let me go!"

"Keep the big princess in place. We got something special for her." Kite said to the two Drones who now had her on her knees and held her hands behind her back. A third grabbed her head to make her watch the fight and a fourth tossed Kite his Hammerburst gun. "Now sit back and watch as we go fox hunting!"

Naruto got back up he quickly ran away from where he was standing. Two Maulers had appeared in the second hole and now they were coming after him. Naruto dodged one explosive flail and was then hit in the face by Shinji who jumped up over the one Mauler and punched Naruto. Naruto in his brief moment of daze was then hit with the second Mauler's shield. Naruto grunted in pain as he felt the spikes in the shield dig deep into his body. He looked up and saw Kite who was now above him with his shotgun pointed down on him. Naruto jumped to the side and tried to use the teleportation technique again but still nothing happened. Naruto was now had the Shindo brothers and the Maulers coming out at him at the same time. They were going to all attack him at once!

"Naruto use your RasenWhirlWind technique now!" Hinata shouted. The Locust holding her head then put his hand over her mouth to prevent her from helping Naruto verbally.

"I got it!" Naruto shouted as he readied his technique. He thought back to when he was training with Hinata and how he mastered the technique. He pictured a spinning top combined with wind and spun the moment his enemies began to attack him. "RasenWhirlWind!"

A large white Rotation with four blades of wind coming off of it spun around and hit Naruto's attackers. Kite got both of his legs chopped off, Shinji his left arm, and the Maulers were both blown away with their shields destroyed. Naruto landed facing a different direction but he landed well and standing. Hinata cheered for Naruto in her head but she soon began to scream muffled screams to Naruto as one of the Maulers came at him swinging his flail like a madman. Naruto jumped out of the way and made doppelgangers of himself. While the Mauler was distracted by the doppelgangers, Naruto came rushing in with Rasengan killing him.

"You are gonna pay for that!" Kite shouted as his legs grew back in a yellow ooze. Naruto watched in amazement Kite then stomped his right foot making a switch blade come out of his boot. He then kicked off his right leg and another leg with a switch blade boot came out of where is original leg broke off. "Try this! My Break off Buzz Saw!!"

Naruto tried to dodge but the double leg turned in midair to hit his neck. Naruto fell to his knees holding a cut artery in his neck. Hinata's eyes grew wide in fear.

"Pay back is a bitch isn't it?" Shinji said as he held his cut off arm. He then turned to Kite. "Fix me up bra!"

"No problem." Kite said as he broke off his left arm and had it attack to where Shinji's left arm used to be. It then hardened and grew back into a new arm. Kite then tossed Shinji the Hammerburst rifle and turned towards Hinata with a sick grin. He was going to make Naruto suffer. "Pump'em fulla lead Shinji!'

"With Pleasure!" Shinji said as he drew the gun and Naruto got back to his feet.

"Little punk ass brat." Kite said as Shinji fired the Hammerburst he had received and shot Naruto in the shoulder, leg and side. Naruto yelped as he felt the hot lead projectiles lodge themselves into his flesh. Hinata began to struggle to free her mouth and head when Naruto was shot. She was beginning to panic now.

"Hold still you little-!" The Drone holding Hinata's head let her go and yelped when he felt his middle finger get bitten by her. "I ought to-!"

"Let her be." The fourth Drone who had given his gun to Shinji said. "It doesn't matter what she says, the Shindo brothers will finish him all the same."

Hanabi watched from her seat in just as much horror as Hinata. She was worried about what was going to happen now to him with gunshot wounds and the two brothers who were now teaming up on his when he was wounded. Things weren't good for Naruto and the Shindo brothers had no intention of fighting fair.

"Naruto, please don't die." Hinata prayed. She was worried as she watched the brothers throw hit after hit at Naruto who was struggling to dodge because of his injuries. The Kyubi's chakra would heal him, but even that would take time before it could remove the bullets from his body and seal the wounds. "Naruto…"

The Drone holding Hinata's head began to loosen his grip and so did the ones holding her arms. Hinata was too focused on Naruto to notice, but the Drones were disturbed by how the Shindo brothers were beating on Naruto; all four began to feel a slight bit of shellshock return to their memories.

"Gotcha now!" Shinji shouted as he grabbed Naruto by the back of the head and held him in place as he punched him over and over again until his face was bloody and bruised. "DIE! DIE! DIE!"

'Don't hog him to yourself! I want a piece!" Kite shouted as he grabbed Naruto by the shoulder and threw him to the ground. He then kicked Naruto in the stomach and pulled out a snub pistol as Naruto tried to crawl away. "Suck on this!"

"Stop! You're killing him!" Hinata shouted. It was no good, the Shindo brothers didn't care if Naruto lived or died, they just wanted to have the sick pleasure of beating him to a pulp. Kite then shot Naruto in the back of the lungs and he collapsed to the ground. "NOOOO!!!!"

Suddenly a wooden log appeared where Naruto fell. It was a substitution! Naruto reappeared at a safe distance and threw kunai at the brothers who took the hits and acted like it was nothing. After removing the kunai, the brothers went at Naruto again. This time Shinji threw away his gun on his back and went at Naruto at full speed. He was planning something.

"We's gonna wreck yours shit!" Shinji said as he slipped on his knees through Naruto's legs almost lying flat down on his back. Once he slipped past Naruto, he grabbed his ankles and threw him high into the air with his stretching arms. He then began to pull Naruto back down to the ground as hard as he could while holding his ankles. "YOU-ARE-FUCKED-HERE-AND-NOW!!!!"

Naruto shouted out in agony as he felt his body smack down onto the ground. Tears began to well up in Hinata's eyes as well as Hanabi's. The Shindo brothers were killing Naruto!!

"Stop! Please stop!!" Hinata screamed unable to take any more of the brutality. Shinji then smirked at her as he lifted Naruto up again and hurled him at Kite who then began to prepare for some sort of technique. "Naruto!!!!"

"I love this part." Kite said as he finished making his hand signs and pointed his arms toward Naruto. Suddenly Kite's arms turned into two long, hot, flat hot rocks. Naruto's back hit them both and he screamed out again as he felt the combination of acid burns with the burns of hot rocks pressed against his back. "Lambent Style: Acid Grill!!"

Naruto fell to the ground aching in pain. He then felt Kite grab him by the back of the neck and throw him towards Shinji who began to kick Naruto while he was down. Shinji then picked Naruto back up and made him face Kite who had his shotgun ready to fire.

"What's wrong? You want to cry?" Kite asked as Naruto looked at him with just a scowl on his face. Before Naruto could say anything, Kite shot him in the chest and Naruto stood straight up wide eyed and shocked by the amount of pain he was in before falling to his knees and then flat on his face. "Sorry, not enough time."

"NARUTO!!!!" Hinata screamed with tears pouring down her face. Suddenly the Locusts let her go. They couldn't take what they were seeing any longer, it was too much like watching the ninjas from the Five Great Nations torturing the people of Uzamakigakure all over again. Hinata blind fired her Dangan technique to kill the Locusts holding her arms and palm fisted the one who was holding her head in the heart killing him. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!"

The fourth Drone then came at Hinata who was more than ready to fight after what had happened. But as the Drone came at her, a bullet flew through his head. He had gotten in the way of Shinji's pistol fire and took the blow of the bullet meant for her, or at least it seemed that way.

"Will you shut up already you little bitch? We've heard nothing but screams from you all day, and not the sexy kinds." Shinji said as Hinata charged at him with the intent to kill until Kite pounced on her and pinned her to the ground. He had his waist above Hinata's and he held her hands back above her head. He then began to break his body off to hold Hinata to ground. "Kite, keep her in place."

"Now be a good girl and stay out of our way." Kite said as he stood back up with Hinata pinned to the ground. He then turned to Naruto was now trying to rise up to help Hinata. Before he could do anything, the remaining Mauler came up and stepped on Naruto's back to keep him down. "What are you doing?"

"The queen asked you to bring these two back alive, not to kill them." The Mauler said. It was his way of trying to save Naruto and Hinata from anymore unnecessary pain. He looked down and saw that Naruto was turning into his first tale state. "He is going to transform soon, we can't have him do that if we want to take him."

"Ya know what? I'm tired of you people telling us what to do. It's our job; we'll do it our way." Shinji said as Kite took out his shot gun and shot the Mauler in the face killing him and leaving a heavy load on Naruto's back. Kizu watched from his safe spot with a grin. His time to shine would be soon. "Now where were we?"

"Just leave her alone. The Horde wants me." Naruto grunted in pain as he felt his head get light. "Take me but leave Hinata alone."

"No Naruto! Don't do it!" Hinata shouted as she struggled to free herself.

"What is it with you two any ways? All you ever do is shout out each other's names like your really that important to each other." Kite said as he walked towards Hinata and looked down on her.

"If you touch her, I'll do to you what I did to your jerkass brother!" Naruto shouted.

"So you killed Yama? Damn, never saw that coming." Shinji said as he seemed unmoved by his brother's death. Naruto and Hinata couldn't believe that he and Kite didn't care about their own brother. "Oh well, that means more money for me and Kite."

"Don't think that we're like other families. We don't care about each other, just the money involved along with the anything else that will strike fear into the hearts of others." Kite said as he looked at Shinji with disgust. "We only work together because it makes the job easier."

"So are you gonna answer my question or not?" Shinji asked as he turned towards Hinata. Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone came crashing down on Shinji, locked his arm behind his head and pinned him to the ground. It was Sakura! "Get off me bitch! I'm supposed to be on top!"

"I guess I arrived in time!" Sakura said as she looked at Kite who was unmoved by Sakura's act of heroism, he was annoyed by it. "Don't worry, I'm gonna get you two out of here!"

"Sakura, why? Why are you doing this?" Hinata asked as she looked up as best she could at her. "Why did you come here all alone when there are so many other things happening in the village that need to be taken care of?"

Sakura looked down and thought about everything before all this. The bad times in the academy, the good times she shared with Hinata when they became Genin and before Naruto came back home, the other bad times when she stole Naruto away from Hinata selfishly, and how she did almost nothing to amend for the pain she put Hinata through. Sakura then began to speak from her heart.

"Hinata, I'll never be able to truly forgive myself for what I did to you." Sakura said almost in tears. "I took away the one precious person in your life and tried to make him belong to me. I got caught up in all my own suffering that I didn't see that you needed Naruto's love more than I did. That's why I'm here to help you save your sister, to amend for all the things I did to you and Naruto!"

"Sakura! Now is not the time to be thinking about these things!" Naruto shouted as he began to cough up blood. "You should have brought more people with you! These guys are insanely strong! Their mutated or something! You can't take them on alone! You need to get help!"

"So that's how it works huh?" Shinji said with a grin. Suddenly his body turned into a pile of yellow ooze and he slid out from beneath Sakura. "Now we can turn this into a fuckin party!"

While Sakura was still on her knees, Kite quickly grabbed her by her wrist and held her hands above her head. He quickly jumped behind Sakura and broke off his legs once he stomped down on the back of them. Sakura yelped out in pain as she felt her legs throb. Kite's legs then began to coil around Sakura's ankles and she was pinned to the ground the same way Hinata was. Kite then broke off his arm and trapped Sakura's arms. She was now trapped like Naruto and Hinata.

"So the pink haired slut here feels guilty for messing with you two because you two are together!" Shinji laughed as he looked at Naruto with a wicked intent in his eye. "But you two see her as a friend still despite it all! Now it makes since why the Horde asked us to bring the Hyuga girl along with the Jinchuriki; you two would have followed each other to the bitter end! But now you're all trapped here and you're screwed because now there is no one here to get in our way of things!"

"What are you talking about!? Leave them alone you temes!" Naruto shouted.

"What are you going to do now Jinchuriki? Your good friend and your dear little girlfriend are now caught here with us and you're just as helpless as they are." Kite said as he broke his hand off on Sakura's mouth gagging her. Sakura tried to rip off the hardened stone like material on her but something in the material was blocking her chakra.

"Help! Someone please help us!" Hanabi screamed hoping that someone would come to their rescue. Kizu continued to watch but he had intent to save them yet. He still wanted to see if Naruto would go into his two tailed state.

"Let's have some fun now." Shinji said as he walked over to Hinata, got down on his hands and knees on top of her and turned around to face Kite and Naruto. "You're gonna love this kid!"

"What are you going to do?" Naruto asked in terror as he saw the wicked intent in Shinji's eye grow. Sakura began to cry with muffled screams as Kite looked into her eyes with the same wicked intent. "What are you doing!?!?"

"Kite, do whatever you want to the pink haired one." Shinji said as he looked down at Hinata with a sick grin on his face. "I'M GONNA RAPE THE HYUGA GIRL!!!!!"

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Hinata screamed as she began to thrash and struggle to free herself as Shinji began to unzip her coat. He then threw it off to the side and ran his tongue down her neck. Hinata cried hot tears of fear; she was going to be raped! "NOOOOO!!! HELP!!!! NARUTO HELP!!!!!!!"

"The same goes for you pinky!" Kite said as he began to rip off Sakura's cloths. Sakura began to scream muffled screams with tears pouring down her face. There was nothing she could do.

"NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Naruto shouted as he struggled to get up from the ground. He was too injured and the Mauler's corpse was keeping him down. Naruto was trapped! "LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!"

"GET OFF ME!!! NARUTO PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!" Hinata screamed as Shinji began to unzip his pants. He was almost ready! Hinata began to thrash and scream harder. Her tears also began to pour harder. "LET ME GO!!!! LET ME GO!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!"

Hinata kicked Shinji in the groin but he then in turn smacked Hinata across the face causing her nose to bleed. Hinata stopped struggling when he hit her again.

"Stupid bitch! Do as I say!!" Shinji shouted as he got his pants completely off and began to laugh at the evil deed he was about to perform. Kizu watched but he didn't do anything. Things were bad, very bad.

"NOOO!!! HINATA!!! I WON'T LET THEM TOUCH YOU!!!!" Naruto shouted as his eyes began to turn red. He had to do something! He had to stop the Shindo brothers from raping Hinata and Sakura!!

Author's note

After Show Messages

DB99: Wow, quite a suspenseful chapter there! Well, since she complained to me about it, we will be having an interview with the next Horde leader to make a move though it won't be on Konoha. Everyone, please welcome the Locust Queen, Inagojo! (Crowd applauds as she walks on.)

Inagojo: Finally, after what those two bakas Nazo and Akumu did, it's about time that I did something that is going to have an impact.

DB99: I'm sure you will leave a mark on the Five Great Nations, Naruto and company and the readers. So please tell us some things about yourself that we didn't see in the origins chapter. Like-(Inagojo stops him before he asks his question.)

Inagojo: I will tell the readers what I want them to know about me! I don't need you to go and force information out of me! (Uses her tentacles to throw dragonbeast99 off set and make the camera focus on her.)

DB99: (Speaking off set.) Okay, you run the show tonight.

Inagojo: Very well. (Screen drops down behind her showing images of Nexus.) I was the one to find Nexus after escaping from Niles. In the myths of my faith, I was told of an ancient city below the earth's surface that was said to be built by the gods for the Trinity of Worms believers in desperate times. It's one of the stories I remember my mother telling me as a child. (Inagojo seems to be moved by the thoughts of her mother.)

DB99: (Thinking.) She's gonna start getting emotional over the memories of her mother.

Inagojo: After finding Nexus, it was all up to Nazo and Akumu to start setting up the place for our work. Since then, Nexus has been quite a merry home for us, the Locusts, and our family. (Image on screen changes to Inagojo holding RAAM when he was younger.) By family, I mean my two adopted sons RAAM and Skorge. RAAM I found in a beached ship wreck the morning after I escaped from Niles along with the others. RAAM was only a boy, he couldn't speak our language, he was alone without any parents and there was no one there to take care of him. Just by looking into his eyes I felt that there was a reason for him to be here and I fell in love with him. He is such a good son (image changes to RAAM giving his mother flowers for mother's day) even though he can be reckless at times (image changes to RAAM after his fight with Hiashi.)

DB99: (Thinking.) She's not so bad after all.

Inagojo: (Image on the screen changes to her with her arms around an adolescent Skorge.) Skorge is my youngest son and the one who shares my faith (image changes to her and Skorge meditating). When he was an adolescent, he ran away from the Fire Temple leaving behind Chiriku and the other Buddhists monks who persecuted him. I found him in the streets begging for food when I went to the surface in search of supplies for Nexus. It is good karma to be generous to the needy but when I saw him, despite his face, I could see that there was something special about him and I took him home with me. Skorge can be cold at times (image changes to one of Inagojo with Skorge but they are a bit distant) because he is still a bit new to being loved for once. (Image changes to Skorge blushing as Inagojo kisses him. Her face is blurred out to not give away her true face beneath her mask.) But deep down, he loves me just as much as I love him.

DB99: (Thinking.) Is this woman really a villain?

Inagojo: (Image changes to her in a fighting stance while holding a Chinese blade in one hand and a fencing saber in the other. Inagojo's personality changes completely.) I am also a master of the Fist of The Devote Path but I am more suited to using swords rather than staffs. I can dual wield but I prefer single swords because they are easier to use when I must punish those who are wicked.

DB99: (Thinking.) Okay, she's a psychopath like the others.

Inagojo: My tentacles are my family's Kekkei Genkai for our devotion to the goddess Inagojo, the goddess I am named after. (Image shows Inagojo in a battle dress with her tentacles out.) This Kekkei Genkai more specifically comes from what is called the Core in Trinity belief. (Image of the Trinity of Worms emblem appears.) In the center of this emblem is Brahman or the Core, the mystical force by which all reality is tied to and made accessible by thanks to the Three Lords and the gods; Inagojo has a good connection to the Core because she is one of the oldest gods. Since the Trinity of Worms is rooted in monism, all my powers relate to this belief; I am able to turn my abilities into one thing. But I'm not going to give away what that means.

DB99: (Walks slowly back onto the set.) Um, could I ask you two questions before we call it a night without being thrown out again?

Inagojo: *sighs*, Fine, what is it?

DB99: Good! Okay, Nazo is an anarchist, Akumu a believer in duality, so what would you say that you are or who or what is your idol besides your faith?

Inagojo: (Character changes.) Oh, well, (image of Inagojo when she was young with her mother Myrrah appears on screen) that would be my mother. She was a kind woman, my mother was. She was always looking after me and others despite any prejudices that they may hold against her. She taught me everything I know and she is the one I take after. As a child and even now, I hope to be like her. (Inagojo looks away to wipe away a tear.)

DB99: Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree so I'm sure you will be like her someday.

Inagojo: Thank you! That's the first time someone besides Nazo and Akumu told me that.

DB99: Okay, now we need to know, is there anyone you like?

Inagojo: (Looks down and folds her hands shyly.) Oh dear, I'm caught between two men. Kakashi-sama and Lord Vader0100-sama. I don't know who I like more.

DB99: Well good luck with your love life Inagojo. Anyways, tha-(Inagojo shoves dragonbeast99 off set with her tentacles again.)

Inagojo: (Character changes again.) You said that I could run the After Show tonight so I'll be the one to give the readers the parting message! Thank you very much respected readers of this story. You have contributed well to the success of this story with your love, your reviews, and continuing to read this story and we are all extremely grateful for that. Be sure to read the next chapter because the fate of Hinata Hyuga shall be revealed and there will be other surprises no one will see coming. Thank you everyone and please stay tuned to see how Naruto will save Hinata and see what it is that I will be doing. Thanks again and be sure to catch the next chapter. Good night everyone. (Character changes.) Oh, one last thing. (Camera zooms in on Inagojo's face as she blushes beneath her mask.) Lord Vader0100-sam, could you please leave a comment soon? I promise to appear really soon and to make it worth your while.
