Chapter 36:
Day Two: A Girl's Feelings pt. 2

Shock. Bewilderment. Fear. Hope?

Those were the emotions that were currently all jumbled up inside Hinata's mind at the moment. Had she just heard correctly? Or was she there something wrong with her hearing? Naruto, her lifetime crush, no, her lifetime love, had just asked her to kill her own father in exchange for her joining him. Now, how could she respond to that? What would she do? The person who was just a father in title and nothing else, or the person that she loved?

Naruto for his part was in extreme amusement as he watched the internal conflict happening within the young Hyuuga. At first, he had thought that this whole situation with Hinata was just going to be plain annoying, but that was before he had thought of this idea.

Did it really matter wether Hinata succeeded or not in killing her father? No, not at all. If she did succeed, Konoha would simply be in more disarray than it already was with the clan head of an important clan such as the Hyuuga dying. If Hinata didn't succeed, she would be branded as a traitor, and many outcomes could come from that. Of course, there was the chance of her talking if she was interrogated about if she was working alone and as to why she had tried to do what she did, or if the information was forcefully removed, therefore automatically compromising both Neji and Anko. Ibiki existed for that reason after all, but Naruto would simply kill her if it came to that.

But this way was much more fun in Naruto's opinion. He also knew that Hinata would agree. From what he understood, and even then, he still didn't completely understand the whole reason, Hinata was madly in love with him. And he would capitalize on that.

Now having understood what his container was intending to do, Kurama chuckled. "I see. I must say brat, this is much more devious than I thought that you were capable of, all right. I give you an applause along with my approval."

Naruto internally chuckled at his bijuu before refocusing at the task in hand. Once more, he began to gently rub Hinata's cheek, causing said girl to come out of her own thoughts and to start blushing again while leaning into the touch.

"Is it really that hard to choose?" asked Naruto softly. "I thought that you loved me…."

Hinata's eyes widened in alarm when she heard that. "I do love you!" she proclaimed without stuttering and a fierce look present on her face. She then realized what she had just said and to whom she had said it to, and her whole demeanor changed back to that of the innocent and shy Hinata that everyone knew and loved. Right?

'D-did I j-just say…?'

Naruto chuckled internally again, but gave a soft smile on the outside. "Then why are you taking so long to decide?" asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow, his hand still gently rubbing Hinata's cheek. "If you really do love me and want to be with me, then do as I say," he finished.

"I-is this the o-only w-way?" asked Hinata in a timid voice, once again just simply enjoying the feeling of Naruto's hand.

Naruto nodded in confirmation. "Yes it is," answered Naruto. "What I'm doing is dangerous, and I just simply want to know that I can trust you." Another lie. Naruto honestly didn't know how he was lying to Hinata this easily and enjoying it as much as he was too. Maybe it was because he just simply didn't care? He didn't care what she thought of him or would think of him in the future. Why? Because he simply didn't care about this girl, period. Was he suppose to? Just because she had romantic feelings for him, he was suppose to respond in kind to them? Naruto honestly had enough with trying to be the good guy. Although he hadn't been that in a long time, he admitted to himself. Maybe he was just simply becoming worse.

But once again, when it came to people like Hinata who he had no feelings for, romantic or friendship-wise, Naruto just didn't care, period.

'I have to do it,' thought Hinata to herself. 'If I do, then I can be with Naruto-kun….' thought Hinata with a bigger blush. That was all that she cared about. After her mother had died, Hinata's life had turned for the worse. Her own father seemed like he didn't care wether she lived or died. All he had attention for was her littler sister, Hanabi. It was like the fact that he had another daughter had left his mind. But then she met Naruto and instantly she fell for him. No matter what adversities he faced, Naruto had never given up and succeeded because of that. Naruto was her strength, the reason that she lived at all, even if he had killed close friends of her.

'I don't care about that anymore,' thought Hinata, thinking about Kiba and Choji. All she wanted was to be with Naruto. And if the only thing that was standing between that and herself was the man that had made her childhood miserable and had basically abandoned her, then Hinata would gladly take him out of the picture if that was required.

"I'll do it," answered Hinata quietly without stuttering once more.

Naruto smiled while internally he was laughing. "Good," he stated while leaning in. 'Now for insurance that she doesn't back out...'

Hinata's heart was once more pounding much stronger than it had when Naruto had first started to rub her cheek as Naruto's lips came closer to hers. 'Don't faint!' she told herself once more.

Kurama merely shook his head before smirking. "This will end up to be interesting all right. Wether the girl kills her father or not…"

Mikoto looked down to see the now fully prepared army from on top of the Raikage building. Things were going good here all right. The army from Kumo was now ready for action which was a good thing and with a day to spare as well.

Now all Mikoto had to do was to wait for Sasuke and his team to make it here, and then they would be able to figure out what was to be done next.

Mikoto wondered what the others were up to at the moment. Last she heard, Naruto with the rest of the Uzumakis were currently resting at one of Mito's safe houses. But that was almost two days ago. She glanced up at the sky to see the sun almost having set already. Another day was now ending. Pity….

Mikoto shook her head. Now was not the time to get all poetic. Even though things were done at her end for the moment, many other things needed to be done still. She only hoped that they would not be faced with any more problems, but that was just a hopeful thought. With how much was at stake, something, or someone, would just make things become more complicated for no damn reason. And even if the person did, it would still be annoying.

"Yo."

Mikoto turned around to see a dark skinned man wearing the usual Kumo jonin attire standing a few feet away with his hands on his pockets. Said dark skinned man also had a big sword strapped to his back. While not as big as Zabuza's, it was still up there in the size department. The man also had shaggy white hair with a very bored look on his face.

"What?" asked Mikoto, trying to keep the irritation out of her voice that she felt from being bothered.

The Kumo jonin sighed. 'Dull…' he thought. 'This woman is going to be dull...' "I'm here by Raikage-sama's order," responded the man with the same bored attitude that his face had. "I'm his right hand man, Darui," he began to explain, "and I suppose I'm also the commander of this army."

Mikoto's eyebrows twitched. 'This guy…?' she thought. He resembled a Nara in attitude! Just how could the Raikage actually have a man like that as his best shinobi!? 'This is not what I had in mind when I asked him about his best shinobi,' thought Mikoto in irritation, before she began to calm herself. Never judge a book by its cover she reminded herself. Just because he looked like a slouch didn't mean that he was one. Well, that was what she hoped for at least.

Mikoto nodded her head. "I see. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Darui. I'm Uchiha Mikoto, you're superior," stated Mikoto with the slightest bit of a smirk present on her face.

Darui could only sigh once again, but his mind was working overtime at the moment. He was suspicious. That was the bottom of things. The Raikage, or the one that he knew at least, would never allow for an outsider to take charge of anything as big as this was. Darui already pretty much knew why the army had been preparing ever since that Uzumaki boy had come to speak to the Raikage. He was, after all, the Raikage's right hand man, meaning that he was told of pretty much everything.

But that was not the point. The point was as to how this woman had acquired the position that she now occupied. Not to mention the fact that said woman was an Uchiha. The Raikage was never fond of that clan, so for this woman to….

Yes, things didn't add up alright. Unless the Raikage had a sudden change of heart, which was highly unlikely. That man was as stubborn as they came.

But Darui didn't have any solid proof at all. Just speculations. And in the shinobi world, acting purely on speculations could be disastrous. So all that Darui could do was to keep his eye open for any proof about the suspicion that he had about the Uchiha woman. Which was way more dull….

Darui merely sighed again.

"You may go," said Mikoto with a wave of her hand. "I will call for you when you are needed."

She had turned around by this point, so she missed the frown that appeared on Darui's face as he began to walk away. 'Acting like she's the boss,' thought Darui with a shake of his head as he began to descend down the stairs. 'So dull….'

What Darui didn't know was that Mikoto was indeed the boss of Kumo at the moment, with the Raikage under her control due to the genjutsu that she had placed on the man.

Mikoto crossed her arms below her breasts as she continued to gaze down at the army. Another thought invaded her mind. And that was the fact that she couldn't believe that she actually missed the little blond idiot. So they had sex, but that was to merely scratch an itch so to speak. And he was Kushina's son as well, who also had sex with her son, with Mikoto joining as well. Talk about kinky...

Mikoto shook her head at that thought. 'Bad girl Mikoto…'

Tsunade scowled as she looked at the amount of paperwork present on her desk. All the documents were about the construction of the village, supplies that she needed to check, which buildings to approve to be built first, and the like. She then proceeded to pour more sake into another cup, and then proceeded to drown it down. She was currently within her temporary office until the new Hokage building was to be completed, which was under construction, but still not finished.

But no matter what she would do, Tsunade could not concentrate on the paperwork, her drinking sake at the moment was a testament to that. But it was to be expected. Tsunade was confused as hell at the moment.

For one, her grandmother was alive for reasons that Tsunade herself didn't know. That in itself was a major shock.

'It seems that my suspicions about her being up to something were right,' thought Tsunade as she began to drink from the bottle instead of pouring the sake in a cup. But her grandmother was not the only problem. Kushina was another. Just how was she alive as well? The only thing that they both had in common was that they were both working with Naruto.

Naruto….yeah he was definitely the one responsible for both her grandmother and Kushina being alive again, but Tsunade honestly had no idea how the brat had done it. Naruto was also her major source of headaches at the moment.

'You bastards have left me with a terrible mess to deal with,' thought Tsunade as she thought about both the Sandaime and the Yondaime. 'And the problem is, I don't know how to deal with it…'

Tsunade was at her wit's end. She was no longer as young as she once was, no matter how much she appeared to be. She was tired. Not physically, but mentally. And she no longer had Jiraiya with her as well, someone who could she always depend on, besides his perverted nature of course.

Thinking about her deceased teammate made Tsunade think about who killed him, and, of course, that led to Naruto once again.

Tsunade honestly didn't know what to think about Naruto anymore. Did she hate him? Tsunade really didn't know if she did or didn't. He killed Jiraiya of course, but at the same time, she could understand as to why he did it. Why he was doing all of this.

'That old toad still hasn't come back,' thought Tsunade all of a sudden. 'He was suppose to have shed more light for me on this whole 'Child of the Prophecy' thing,' thought Tsunade. Now that thought made her to chuckle bitterly. She of course knew some parts of that whole concept. How couldn't she? One time in the past, Jiraiya had used that as a way for her to go out with him. She had still refused of course, obviously not believing in that prophecy. And she still didn't. Jiraiya was suppose to have had trained the savior of the world. Well that was what he had told her. The only one that came close to that was the Yondaime. But he was dead. And Jiraiya's other apprentice was now trying to cause more destruction instead of trying to end it.

So Tsunade really didn't believe that Naruto could possibly be the this 'Child of the Prophecy.' It was merely ridiculous in her mind. But thinking about the toads made Tsunade have an epiphany which made her feel like she was an idiot. And the epiphany was to use the toads to locate Naruto.

'Why hadn't I thought of this?' thought Tsunade in anger at that, and at the fact that she couldn't do what she was thinking of until the toads came to her. But why hadn't Jiraiya used it?

'He did say something about Naruto not being a toad summoner anymore,' thought Tsunade. 'But how could he have broken the contract?'

Tsunade threw the bottle of sake down on the ground, smashing it into pieces. All this thinking was getting on her nerves. Better if she just waited on the damn toads to give her some answers.

"So this is him…."

Obito merely nodded his head at that, not commenting.

Currently in Kiri, we find Mito, Kushina, Fuka, Obito, Mei, and Yagura in one of the private hospital rooms. And on an operating table, the dead body of Tobi laid.

Mei looked at the dead Uchiha with an emotionless look on her face. So, this was the person that had caused Kiri to become hell on earth….

Yagura merely glanced at Mei in silence, knowing what the young woman would be feeling at the moment. As he turned to look at the dead Uchiha, Yagura himself didn't feel anything, which surprised him greatly. He would have thought that he would have at least feel some form of anger. He had to wonder why he didn't…

'He looks just like Obito,' thought Mito with narrowed eyes. 'But how could that be? And what happened to his body….?' she thought while noticing that the right portion of Tobi's body was…odd. Mito honestly didn't know how to describe it. But the fact was that no one had told her about this particular fact. Mito then silently nudge Kushina for an explanation.

Noticing the look on Mito's face, Kushina shook her head, as if to say 'Later.'

Mito sighed but nodded. There was a time for everything.

"Tch, asshole…" muttered Mei, but since no one was talking at the moment within the closed room, everyone heard her. Not that anyone present cared about the dead Uchiha in any case.

Obito chuckled, something which surprised Mei greatly. She would think that Obito would be defending the dead Uchiha. Weren't the two family or something? "I agree with you completely," stated Obito.

Mei merely nodded, not bothering to ask why. "So," she began, turning her attention back on the corpse, "is there any chance that Kiri can keep the body?"

"For?" asked Obito with a raised eyebrow.

'That's a good sign,' thought Mei, thinking of the fact that Obito had not outright said 'no.' "Do you really have to ask?" said Mei. "This guy here caused the greatest misfortune that has ever befallen this village. What do you think that we're going to do with it," finished Mei, some sarcasm present on her voice.

'If only you knew the rest,' thought Obito, momentarily glancing at his 'other self.' Obito pretty much knew everything that Tobi had done after Madara had died and he had left the underground base. But he wasn't going to tell Mei anything though. Just like he wasn't going to tell Mito anything either, or Mikoto for that fact.

"That's the fun in deception, Obito," Madara had told him once. "You know all the cards, but no one else does. You get to see how everyone else reacts to the secrets around them, and yet, you know them all which makes it that much more amusing to watch. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?"

'And extremely annoying,' thought Obito while glancing at Mito. The redhead had been on his case this whole time ever since she had found out that Madara had told him everything. It seemed that she was extremely annoyed and bitter that Madara had left her on the dark on some things. And because he pretty much knew, well, everything, she was trying to crack him open and get him to spill the beans. But that was not going to happen anytime soon, or never really.

"I see," said Obito while faking a thinking pose. The truth of the matter was that he didn't care one single thing about what happened to Tobi anymore. Finally, he answered, "Yeah, you can have it." 'Mikoto already took the most important thing after all,' thought Obito, referring to Tobi's sharingan eyes.

Mei nodded. "I appreciate this," said Mei.

Obito shrugged. "I can think of many ways that you can properly 'thank' me for being so generous," said Obito, hinting as to what he really meant by wiggling his eyebrows.

Mito scowled at that, while both Kushina and Fuka merely looked amused.

Yagura raised an eyebrow while glancing at Mei.

Mei's eyebrows twitched momentarily at Obito's statement.

Mito stepped up, having had enough of all the games that were taking place. "We have other matters to attend to," she stated while holding up a small container that contained a weird looking liquid. "May I use your researching facilities? I have to know what this thing is."

Mei nodded, having forgotten about Obito's earlier statement for the moment. "Certainly."

"We'll go have a look around the village then," said Kushina as she and Fuka began to walk out of the room and out into the village.

"Do you mind if I tag along?" asked Yagura to Mito who simply nodded.

"I'll be going then," said Obito with a wave as he disappeared in his usual teleportation jutsu seeing that Mei was not going to take him up on his offer.

When both Mito and Yagura had left as well, Mei focused back on the corpse lying in front of her. 'Now, what to do with you?' mused the young Mizukage. The dead bastard was at her mercy now. Oh yeah, she was going to enjoy this.

"I take it that it wasn't enjoyable?"

Obito sighed while glancing at both black zetsu and white zetsu. He was currently overlooking Kiri from one of the village's protective walls, Zetsu having joined him.

"What makes you say that?" he asked with a bored tone.

"This place has seen many misfortunes because of Tobi," answered black zetsu. "He was the Sandaime Mizukage after Madara died, after all. And because of that, Uzu was also-"

"I know," interrupted Obito, not wanting to be reminded of that particular incident. Not even Mikoto knew of everything that had happened in Uzu that night when the strike force had attacked the village of the Uzumakis. Hell, she didn't even know that Tobi had been the Sandaime Mizukage, or that Madara had been the original Sandaime until he had died, and that Tobi simply took his place afterwards. But Obito did. He had kept tabs to see what his other self was up to in those years after he had decided to leave. Tobi had been a very dangerous person after all.

Of course he hadn't thought that Tobi would go as far as he had. That had been a very huge mistake on Obito's part. Yes, Tobi had been dangerous, but Obito didn't know that Tobi had also been insane.

'I should have suspected that he was when he took Madara's previous plan to heart,' thought Obito with a shake of his head.

"Are you going to tell anyone of them about that incident? Especially Naruto and the rest of those Uzumakis. Uzu was their homeland after all…."

Obito shook his head as he turned away from Kiri. "No. If they want to know, they're going to have to find out about it themselves. It's the same reason that I kept things from Mikoto as well."

"I thought that Madara told you to not tell her anything about Naruto because of what she would do if she did find out."

Obito chuckled at that. That was true. If Mikoto found out just who exactly was interested in Naruto as well and what the young uzumaki was suppose to do and who he was, well she would basically not separate at all from the younger blond and would simply degrade down into a fangirl. Obito supposed that Kushina would be the same, although he suspected that the redhead had a much better idea than Mikoto did. There was also the fact that Mikoto had already been interested in Naruto because he was Kushina's son. That was why she had gone after him after Naruto had left the village in the first place after all.

"That's also part of it," admitted Obito and then glanced at white zetsu. "You're not to tell anyone of this, understood?"

White zetsu chuckled. "None of this makes any sense to me either way, so I can't very well tell anyone of any of this."

Obito nodded, satisfied. "Good."

Black zetsu glanced back at Kiri. "Such an unlucky place…."

Obito didn't respond to that. But as he began teleport himself away, one final thought ran through his mind. 'I do wonder what Tobi wanted to accomplish by starting the civil war here in Kiri, though. Or why he even took part in destroying Uzu…'

Just what had Tobi been after?

Neji could only stare at Naruto in shock.

"Seriously?" asked Anko while holding her gut and laughing.

Currently back in Konoha in the training ground of the old Team Seven, Naruto had immediately contacted both Neji and Anko to meet him as soon as possible. Once they had both arrived, Naruto had proceeded to tell them of how he was planning to deal with the now dubbed 'Hinata Situation.' Which then lead to this current situation.

"Are you out of your freaking mind!?" asked Neji with wide eyes. No, he pretty much screamed out the question.

Anko whistled at that. "Wow. A Hyuuga screaming and losing his cool. I don't think I've ever seen that before…."

Naruto sighed at Neji's freaked out look. "It's not as bad as it sounds," defended the blond.

Neji shook his head. "You're right," said Neji, "it's worse! You're planning on having Hinata, HINATA, kill the clan head of the Hyuuga clan! And, if you haven't forgotten, said clan head also happens to be her father!"

Kurama himself was whistling at the moment within Naruto's mind as well. "I don't think I've ever seen a Hyuuga act like this before either. Heh, I guess you see something new everyday."

Naruto simply chuckled at both Kurama and Neji. "You're right," agreed Naruto, making Neji stop his rant for the moment, "it does sound stupid if you put it that way. But you've also forgotten one important fact."

Neji raised an eyebrow. "And that is?" he asked.

"The girl's obsession over him," answered Anko from her spot on sitting on one of the tree trunks. She was also on the process of eating another plate of dango. Hey, it was basically the sadistic woman's life source.

Naruto nodded. "Exactly what Anko said. You should know by now that Hinata is in love with me, although I still don't completely understand what I did to get her to fall in love with me though," commented Naruto while scratching the back of his head.

Anko chuckled. "I think it's those whiskers of yours," said Anko with a wink.

"Ha! I told you that the whiskers were a major turn on for women! You should thank me brat. What would you do without me…."

Naruto merely rolled his eyes.

"I see you're point…." muttered Neji while going on to his own 'brooding' pose that slightly differed from the one that Sasuke had.

"Speaking of appearances," said Anko as she finished the last of her dango on her plate, a fact that saddened the woman greatly, "just what the hell happened to you?" asked Anko with a raised eyebrow. "Without the whiskers or your voice, I don't think that I could be able to recognize you."

"Yes, I would like to know that as well," said Neji, also taking notice of that fact.

Naruto shook his head. "I don't have time to explain things to you at the moment. The show is about to start," responded Naruto as he looked up at the sky which was already dark signifying nighttime which meant that Hinata would be beginning at any moment.

Anko pouted as she hopped off the tree trunk and proceeded to walk towards Naruto. Once she was in front of him, Anko threw her arms around the Kyuubi jinchuriki and pouting once more. "You know, we haven't spent anytime together," said Anko with a playful sad look on her face. "Rumor has it that you even had time to get acquainted with Fu."

"Oh?" said Naruto while glancing at Neji who shook his head as if to say 'Don't look at me. I didn't tell her shit!'

"And?" asked Naruto as he turned his attention back to Anko. "What do you want to do about it?"

Anko smirked. "What do you think that I want to do about it?" retorted Anko with a sultry voice.

Neji rolled his eyes at the sight before him. "For the love of kami, get a room you two! Or better yet, we still have to see if Hinata is going to kill her father or not!"

"Don't spoil the moment Hyuuga!" snapped back Anko with irritation. "I've been waiting all this time! I'm needy!"

Neji felt himself blush at that. "Like I said, get a fucking room!"

Naruto chuckled in amusement before shaking his head. "Sorry Anko, but Neji's right. Afterwards though…." Naruto left the rest of the sentence hanging as he gave Anko a look over. "Well, you know."

"Can't wait then!" proclaimed Anko as she gave the young Uzumaki a kiss on the cheek before stepping back. "So, where is all of this going to take place?" she asked.

Naruto chuckled before placing his right arm around Anko's waist before she got away too far. "At the Hyuuga mansion," he answered.

Neji once again shook his head. "That just makes it even more idiotic…"

Naruto shrugged as Anko leaned in to snuggle closer to him. "Maybe, but like I said, I don't care if she succeeds or not. Now c'mon, let's see how this turns out."

Neji sighed as he placed his right hand on Naruto's left shoulder, and the three disappeared in a dark flash.

After having have had her encounter with Naruto and having returned to the Hyuuga mansion, Hinata walked down a hallway that led to her father's work study, where he would undoubtedly be working at just like he always did these days ever since her mother had died.

The only other times when he would not in his work study with his head stuck in paperwork, her father would either be at a council meeting or at some sort of other meeting that had to do with just clan matters.

And there was one particular matter that Hinata did not like at all. One day she had overheard her father speaking with some of the council members of just the Hyuuga clan that he was perhaps planning on having her marry some heir of a big corporation that did business with Konoha.

Now that made Hinata shiver in disgust every time that she thought of it. For her to have to marry some random person that she didn't even know as well as having said random person touch her body, well it just made Hinata feel very disgusted. How could her father even think of doing something like that? But that was a silly question, and Hinata knew that. It was all just to simply increase the political power of the clan. And her father would do it, no matter what. Even if he had to sacrifice his own daughter to do it. But if he did that to her, could he also do it to her younger sister, Hanabi?

Now that thought made the young female Hyuuga frown. Truth of the matter was that she didn't hate her sister. In fact, she loved Hanabi, although Hinata couldn't say that the feeling was mutual, but still. And to have Hanabi suffer the same way that she would? It was unthinkable.

No, all of these thoughts just made Hinata's resolve that much stronger to go through with what she was going to do. And it would be relatively easy as well. Her father was a high jonin level shinobi, that much was true, but around her, his defenses were always down. It's not like he would ever suspect that his weak daughter would ever attack him, right? Add to the fact that Hinata herself had on occasions visited her father in the past to try and to rebuild their relationship. It hadn't worked, obviously, but her father would not be suspicious at all when she would arrive.

Hinata came out of her thoughts as she stopped in front of a door and knocked. "Father, it's me," said Hinata softly.

"Enter," came the rough reply a few seconds later.

Hinata simply opened the door and walked through the doorway, silently closing the door.

"What do you want?" asked Hiashi as he continued to read a certain document. "I'm quite busy at the moment."

Now that was true. There were still many things that needed to be rebuilt for the Hyuuga compound. All that had been built in the past few days had been the main mansion, and even then there were some parts that still remained unfinished, and then some of the outer housing for the Branch members were finished as well. But considering in the short amount of time that this had been completed in, Hiashi was quite content at the moment. Well, at least his own mansion was almost complete, and he could use it as well. The first night after Naruto's attack had been hell. But thankfully that was over.

"I just came to see if you needed anything," responded Hinata quietly with her head down.

Hiashi gave his daughter a quick glance before going back to reading the document that was presently being held in his right hand. "I'm fine," said Hiashi simply, not bothering to show any gratitude for his daughter worrying about him.

Hinata could only frown, something which Hiashi missed as he was to engrossed with his paperwork and the fact that Hinata currently had her head bowed.

Hinata silently began to walk around the desk and stopped behind Hiashi causing said man to raise an eyebrow as his daughter.

"What are you doing?" asked Hiashi.

"I'm just giving you a message father," answered Hinata she indeed began to do just that. "You must be quite stressed."

Hiashi simply allowed for his daughter to do as she pleased before a thought crossed his mind. His daughter hadn't stuttered once since she had come in. And since he hadn't really paid much attention to his daughter in the past few days, hell years, that came as an odd thing. Now with Hiashi being the veteran shinobi that he was, that particular observation made warning bells go off in his head. But it was too late. Hiashi felt his chakra leave him as well as the feeling of both of his arms.

Hinata smirked to herself, something that she herself didn't even know that she was doing. With the access of giving her father a 'massage' on his shoulders, Hinata had proceeded to shut down the pressure points to shut down Hiashi's access to his chakra. It wouldn't last though. Her father was a Hyuuga as well, so he would find a way to reactivate his chakra.

But Hinata wouldn't give him that time.

'Now,' thought Hinata as she activated her byakugan and walked around the chair that Hiashi was currently sitting on until she was in front of him, 'for the final blow.'

"Hinata," said Hiashi with shock all over his face, "why are you doing this?"

"Is it really that hard to guess?" replied Hinata.

Before Hiashi could respond, Hinata delivered a palm strike straight at Hiashi's heart, killing the man instantly.

"Holy shit!" screamed Anko with surprise from a nearby tree, both Naruto and Neji beside her. "The princess actually did it!"

"Would you keep it down," said Neji, byakugan activated to see if anyone was nearby, although he too was very much surprised at the moment as well. Not that he very much cared about Hiashi, but still, the fact that Hinata actually succeeded in killing him, well….enough said.

Naruto merely smirked. 'Well, I wasn't expecting her to succeed….'

"And? What now? Are you going to kill her?"

Naruto mentally shook his head. 'Now that would be a waste. Having someone like her that would do anything that I say….let's just say that I think that that could become useful in the future.'

Kurama chuckled. "I see…"

"This is still going to make an investigation happen," stated Neji while glancing at Naruto. "Do you have a plan on how to stop that from occurring?"

Naruto chuckled. "Why, yes I do actually…."

For a moment, Hinata could only stare in shock at Hiashi's unmoving body. But that moment passed quickly as excitement grew within her. She did it! She actually succeeded in killing her father! Now Naruto would definitely allow for her to join him, and then…..cue blush.

Soft clapping made Hinata come out of her perverted thoughts as she looked over by the door to see Naruto standing there, who was also the source of the clapping.

"Well done, Hinata," said Naruto.

Hinata merely blushed at the praise.

"Now," began Naruto while opening the door, "it would be best if you went back to your room as if nothing happened. Don't worry, I'll take it from here."

Hinata could only nod and began to do just that. She stopped at the doorway, however, and turned towards Naruto to ask, "A-am I in n-now?"

Naruto merely took hold of one of her hands and kissed it, making the blush on the girl intensify. "Of course," answered Naruto with a grin.

Hinata nodded in relief and left, silently closing the door once more.

"You know I'm kind of jealous," said Anko with a pout as she appeared from one of the walls.

Naruto rolled his eyes at her. "Don't be."

Neji could only shake his head as he also appeared from one of the walls. "You sure are good, Naruto."

"Why, thank you Neji," said Naruto with a smirk. "But unfortunately, I don't swing that way."

Anko bursted out laughing at that, while Neji had an irritated look on his face. "I didn't mean it like that, you idiot!"

Naruto waved his hands in dismissal. "Sure, sure. Whatever you say…."

Neji merely scoffed and crossed his arms, annoyed.

Anko wiped imaginary tears from her eyes. "Oh yeah, this has been a good night all right."

"I'm so glad that I could be of amusement to you," muttered Neji.

Naruto walked up to Hiashi's body and began to poke it.

"What are you doing?" asked Anko.

Naruto shrugged as he stopped his poking. "Nothing. I've just always wanted to do that to that stuck up bastard. It's not as fun as I thought it would be, though…."

"That's because he's dead," stated Anko with a look of amusement on her face.

Naruto nodded. "That's probably why…."

"We need to hurry," cut in Neji. "We don't know if any of the Hyuuga members will come to see Hiashi for any clan matters."

Anko nodded. "I agree."

Naruto merely picked up Hiashi's dead body and threw it over his shoulder.

"What are you going to do?" asked Neji with curiosity. Anko leaned in to hear Naruto's answer, also curious.

Naruto turned his head back to glance at both Neji and Anko before smirking. "Remember that I told you that I had a plan to make sure that no one would suspect that Hinata was responsible or for an investigation to take place?"

Both Neji and Anko simply nodded.

Naruto's smirk was still present as he turned to look out the window. "Well, now you'll get to see it…."

Obito could only simply look around the deserted land as he simply walked randomly down a destroyed street in the island of Uzu.

"Oi, oi, it's getting pretty late," commented white zetsu as he and his counterpart walked alongside Obito. "It's also getting chilly. You might catch a cold."

But Obito just simply continued to walk as if he hadn't heard what white zetsu had said or just simply chose to ignore it.

"Shut up," said black zetsu to white zetsu. "There's a reason why he's here, and you butting in is not helping."

"Eh?" said white zetsu. "But I don't even know what happened here exactly since you two won't tell me anything."

As the two halves began to argue, Obito merely kept looking around the area. It was a horrible sight alright. And to think that this was caused all because of one man.

"Why? Why did you tell us about what you had been planning to do? Because of that, he's now trying to do just that!"

"Hmm….you ask me why and make it sound like it's a big mystery, when the answer is pretty much obvious."

"The what is it!?"

"Heh….it's because I'm bored."

A pause. "What?"

"You heard me. Why did I tell you two about what my plans were before? Because I'm bored. With this, it will make the game more interesting. It's the same reason why I gave that Nagato boy my rinnegan. It's all just to make the game more interesting."

"You do realize that the world could end, don't you?"

"You do realize everything that I have told you, don't you? That clone of yourself, that mere shadow, is nothing but a small player in the grand scheme of things."

"That may be, but that still doesn't make him any less dangerous!"

"You're right, but like I said, I'm bored. This is all just to make things more exciting. One day, you'll understand, Obito. I'm sure of it."

Obito stopped on his tracks, causing both halves to stop arguing for the moment and to look at Obito's back in curiosity.

Obito looked up at the star-filled sky to gaze at the moon as a soft breeze blew. Obito merely smiled.

'Yeah, it was just because you were bored….Madara.'

Yo

Well welcome once again to another chapter! I probably shouldn't be writting this right now as I have exams again, and I have to wake up early tomorrow, but I couldn't help myself. Besides, it's only Geometry tomorrow. How hard can it be?

On a different note, this ends another day. Things will now proceed to the last day before the shit really hits the fan. And I'm just leaving this warning, next chapter is probably going to be boring as it just mainly deals with how the different characters and factions prepare themselves for what's to come next.

So yeah. Hope you liked how things ended with Hinata. I'm sure some of you won't probably like it, but like Naruto said, it would be a waste to kill Hinata seeing as she is now Naruto's lapdog, really.

I suppose that does it for me. Tell me what you thought. So…review.

Till next time.
