Chapter 51: Sasuke's Trail

Naruto

Naruto arrived back into the leaf village with everyone else behind him while holding Hinata's hand

Tsunade said, "Ok Hinata lets get you sorted first…. Raikage the Trial will be tomorrow ANBU are watching so don't do anything that will cause them to act."

The Raikage nodded as Tsunade along with Hinata and Naruto dashed off towards the Hospital.

Itachi sighed and said, "I will go make preparations for the trial."

Mira smiled as Hiashi left following Hinata deciding to join him she went in the same directions giving the scroll holding Sasuke to Itachi.

Naruto, Hinata and Tsunade arrived at the hospital to see Sakura.

Tsunade ordered, "I need a empty room take these two to the room while I get some items."

Sakura nodded and lead Hinata and Naruto to a small room just off the waiting room then she walked off to do another stuff.

Naruto smiled as the door closed Hinata walked over to Naruto and hugged him Naruto moved then kissed Hinata on the neck Hinata smiled moving her arms around Naruto's shoulders pulling him in kissing him more the two both tried to push each other's tong into the others mouth exploring each other even though they had done this before. Suddenly the door opened as Tsunade came in the two quickly jumped away both blushing a light red.

Tsunade raised one eye and said, "Hinata I am going to stick this up…"

Hinata interrupted, "Bathroom!"

Tsunade smiled and pointed to the door just across from there room for Hinata to rush out both of them heard her vomiting after a few moments another vomit was heard Hinata then came out slightly panting.

Tsunade said, "I see we don't need to do the tests your mood swings along with constant vomiting yep you are defiantly pregnant."

Hinata smiled as Naruto held her hand.

Tsunade ordered, "That means no more missions for you Hinata."

Hinata asked, "Can I still be a Jonin with Naruto?"

Tsunade growled, "your skills are already at Jonin it just seems that the elders have blocked Naruto from getting to it the normal way... dam when I find out who agreed I know the other members of the council don't dare to do that stuff one of them must of agreed and the elders hopped on."

Naruto asked, "So what do I have to do?"

Tsunade smiled and answered, "they even picked out the people who will most likely fail you... Hiashi for Taijutsu, Itachi for genjutsu and Mira for Ninjutsu you have to pass those three tests with an B+ or higher in those skills none of them can be failed."

Shinato, "Beating Hiashi with Just Taijutsu that's the hardest one I guess but for the Genjutsu you have to be able to use genjutsu as well as dispel it... I wonder if Minato has caught on and made some small preparations to fix that."

Hinata smiled as she watched Tsunade leave the room she looked at Naruto who smiled back at her.

Naruto said, "Let's go home."

Hinata asked, "Can we get some strawberries and strawberry ice-cream on the way?"

Naruto nodded standing up the two walked out of the hospital holding hands the two walked down the bustling main street smiling as they watched everyone move around.

Hinata asked, "When is Sasuke's trial?"

Naruto sighed and answered, "tomorrow at ten... I hope Itachi can set him free."

Hinata sighed and said, "Yea I want team seven to be a team again."

The two smiled as they entered the shop they quickly moved around and got what they wanted they went to the cash register only to be turned away as thanks for saving the village causing both of them to smile they left the shop and headed towards the Hyuga estate.

Hinata smiled and said, "Father has one small thing for us to deal with before we can relax."

Naruto nodded as the two arrived at the gate and went inside. Hinata then pulled out a scroll allowing Naruto to seal there items inside for later use. The two walked into the main branch house and into Hiashi's office to see Neji and three elders.

Hinata asked, "Where is Tabitha?"

Hiashi smiled and said, "Personal day can't make it he told me... but these three will do just fine."

Hinata and Naruto both sat down smiling.

One of the elders said, "Lord Hiashi is it true that the nine tail's brat has made Hinata pregnant."

Hinata snarled, "Call him Naruto Uzumaki nothing else for he is my future Husband and if you disrespect his name again I will shove a rasengon into your face."

Neji couldn't help but snicker at this causing the other elder to growl, "Insolent branch member."

The elder quickly activated the cage bird seal for nothing to happen

Neji taunted, "Ow stop that, please it hurts so much... ow."

The other elders asked ,"What's going on?"

Hiashi smiled and explained, "The future for the clan... the elimination of the cage bird seal in favour for this new seal developed by Shinato Uzumaki with the help of Hanna, Myself, Hizashi and Holly Hyuga... Neji was the gate way to this new seal many branch members followed after Itachi created a genjutsu that activates making the elders see them suffering under the cage bird seal... that along with some other traditions like the elders control who marries who branch and main are both going out."

The elders were silent as Hiashi continued, "Also the elders of the clan are all dismissed I will be arranging for a new select members for the elders to assist the new head of the clan Hinata Hyuga and her husband Naruto Uzumaki who will be Hokage... and for trying to give our hair away you know the penalty."

The elders froze in shock of what happened as Neji, Hinata, Hiashi and Naruto all left the room to hear a sword cutting through flesh Zabuza walked out of the room moments later.

Hiashi smiled and asked, "Neji I wish you to be elder alongside me hopefully with Hanabi and Ko as well... Haku should just be finishing up with Tabitha Hyuga so we need a few more elders."

Naruto smiled and said, "Well I'm going home Kushina is making dinner Hinata you coming."

Hinata smiled and said, "I'm coming see you Father, Neji and Zabuza."

The two raced off out of the Hyuga estate heading towards the Uzumaki estate as the sun set the two arrived to see Lym and Mito pretending to be ninja in the front of the estate while Kakashi was deep in thought.

Naruto asked, "Kakashi how come you stopped reading those books."

Kakashi looked up and answered, "I have a lot on my mind."

Naruto nodded as Kushina came out and shouted, "Everyone Dinner."

Everyone rushed inside and arrived at the table the family started to eat dinner.

Neji

Neji smiled as he walked along holding Tenten's hand the two walked towards the Hyuga estate when they closed the two couldn't help but smile at each other as a few branch members grinned and smiled at the two together.

Tenten asked, "how did they know?"

Neji noticed a Hyuga genin running out he grinned and answered, "Hanabi Hyuga."

Hanabi shouted, "Brother and Tenten sitting in a tree..."

She stopped when she noticed Neji glare at her causing her to start giggling.

Tenten smiled and asked, "Hanabi did you tell some of the clan?"

Hanabi smiled and answered, "I might of shouted it and some heard it."

The two nodded as Hiashi came out the front door smiling at the two who followed Hiashi into the dining room as three servants brought out food.

Hiashi smiled and said, "I am sorry for letting Kushina go off like that I thought you guys knew and all... but Neji you acted just like your brother did with Holly it took Kushina and Shinato to tease the two bad enough to get them in motions Me and Hanna were the same which made it even more funny... that is until Shinato asked the elders if the entire clan did it."

Tenten asked, "What happened?"

Hiashi grinned as Neji answered, "He did it when the entire clan was at a special event so everyone heard him silence filled the estate the branch members were scared to laugh that's when Hanna ordered everyone to laugh without fear of the seal."

Hiashi continued, "your grandfather found it funny and made it the clan was allowed to laugh at things like that but their actions were not to be made public only shared with family."

Neji smiled and said, "Even then the old clan was slowly dying thanks to an Uzumaki."

Hiashi yawned and said, "Its getting late Tenten your welcome to stay at the estate."

He stood up and left the room.

Sasuke

Sasuke awoke lying in a prison cell he noticed two chakra sealing tags on his wrists up high was a small window he looked out to see the sun had rose up in the sky. He felt slightly saw from the day before but realized someone had healed him so he was able to stand without problems.

Sasuke asked, "Where am I?"

Out of the shadows Ibiki walked out and answered, "Your in ANBU prison young Sasuke... Tsunade healed you on Mira's orders the trial will start in about five minutes so shell we go."

Sasuke asked, "Where is brother?"

Ibiki ignored Sasuke's question and said, "So do we need to drag you or will you come quietly."

Sasuke looked at Ibiki's face who didn't change the slightest as two white robed ninja arrived opening the door Sasuke tried to run out but was stopped by one of the ninja he tried to activate his Sharingan to no avail he stopped struggling.

Sasuke whispered, "I will come quietly."

Ibiki nodded as the two white robed ninja stepped away and led Sasuke through the village causing people to stare. The group stopped at the Chunin exam stadium they then proceeded inside to see that the battle floor had been cut off by a massive cage Ibiki smiled and vanished appearing again on top of the cage.

Ibiki shouted, "The trail over Sasuke Uchiha's actions against the Raikage shell begin the judges are Minato Namazaki, Hiashi Hyuga and Tsunade Senju... those three shell see what punishment is fitting of Sasuke Uchiha the three will cover three area's which will be done later on... Raikage since you have brought this up you can start."

The Raikage nodded and stood up surrounded by a small group of lightning ninja including Killer bee. The Kage went to the edge of the stand and looked at everyone else then to Minato and the others.

Raikage shouted, "Sasuke Uchiha attacked my brother with the intention of kidnapping him and then killing him by removing the tailed beast he holds I want to see him killed for those crimes."

Ibiki nodded and shouted, "Kakashi has something to say."

Kakashi walked over to the edge of the stand and said, "Similar how you had tried to kidnap Kushina Uzumaki twice Raikage ones before she had become the Jinjuriki for my chakra and another time because I had the nine tails it seems rather unfair that your making such heavy demands on this boy when we had a massive problem dealing with you... and now Hinata wishes to pass on something representing the Hyuga clan."

Hinata stood up and walked over to Kushina she said, "you guys kidnapped me for my eyes when I was three but my father saved me you asked us for his head ignoring the fact you tried to kidnap me... its rather sick when an old man does that to a little girl don't you think Kakashi."

Kakashi couldn't help but laugh along with some of the others in the stand both looking up to Minato and the others to see them all grinning."

Raikage roared, "Get back to the topic! And why isn't she here speaking for herself."

Kakashi laughed and shouted, "Ok Raikage but it is a fair point. She can't make it but I have what she wanted me to say."

The Raikage shouted, "Its different he is a missing Ninja the leaf should of dealt with him a long time ago."

Ibiki nodded and said, "Itachi you wish to say something."

Sasuke roared, "Get that trash who ordered my clan's destruction out of here!"

Itachi sighed and waited for Sasuke to stop he then explained, "Ok brother since you want the truth here it is... sixteen years ago the nine tails was summoned by Madara Uchiha Shinato Uzumaki gave his life to seal it but it was to late the Uchiha had lost it estate years ago turning into a village father and mother both liked it more village than estate anyway... but some of them didn't like it and father sided with them I found out I was appointed Hokage to calm the civil war down... then Danzo moved in with his supposed to be Root ninja you saw him Naruto saved you and I protected you both your mind has been twisted brother you need help."

Sasuke roared, "The only help I need is killing you!"

Itachi sighed and called forward Anko.

Anko nodded and said, "I would like to say some of this is Orochimaru's doing due to the fact that the curse mark he used to have feeds off that hatred Sasuke has for Danzo and makes it worse... also shortly afterwards Sasuke was shown up by Naruto who he sees as his rival when the one tail caused havoc outside the village then his failed attempt at trying to kill Danzo having to be saved once again by his friends it pushed him further."

Itachi continued, "Sasuke then turned on Orochimaru and effectively killed him and then went off and killed Danzo but before he could think about what he wanted Madara Uchiha moved in and pushed him even further by twisting the stories in his favour and giving him control over Sasuke."

Tsunade looked at Minato and whispered, "It would seem the problem lies in his mental ability... and is fuelling him further and further this."

Minato whispered back, "Yes I would defiantly agree but we can rule out mind control jutsu those two using his own mind against him as a perfect bomb in a way... Hiashi what do you think."

Hiashi sighed and nodded he then retorted, "I agree that those two have made it so Sasuke would feel like he is doing it on his own when in fact he is there puppet in a way."

Raikage roared, "Who cares how he is messed up in the head he attacked my Brother."

Itachi grinned and retorted, "Well you attacked mine... also lord Bee do you hold any ill will from the attack."

Bee stood up and said, "I don't mind it allowed me to have a vacation away from the land of lightning."

Raikage looked at his brother while Itachi looked back up to Minato.

Minato whispered, "Well Bee shows no anger to the young Uchiha from his actions I would say that he in away is thanking him."

Tsunade nodded and stood up and walked to the edge she shouted, "Lord Bee are you thankful for Sasuke because you were able to get a vacation."

Bee nodded as Tsunade smiled and sat back down she whispered, "It would seem your right Minato."

Hiashi grinned and whispered, "It would seem the Raikage is getting very pissed off at how this is going."

Minato and Tsunade both snickered in agreement.

Raikage roared, "He needs to be punished for attacking the Gokage summit in the land of Iron."

Tsunade retorted, "We have a written message from lord Mifune stating that he and the Samurai both forgive him for attacking the summit due to he warned the samurai to get out of the way before they attacked him."

Suddenly high in the sky Someone screamed, "SASUKE! Itachi I'll get you later."

Mira landed crashing through the cage floor standing Next to Sasuke who had fallen back in shock four ANBU moved in trying to stop Mira only to be for Mira to create four shadow clones which punched the ANBU away into the wall. Mira grabbed Sasuke by the neck and using her chakra flicked off the chakra seals she quickly activated her Sharingan forcing Sasuke to do the same."

Mira whispered, "Old Sasuke protect the leaf."

Mira dropped Sasuke onto the ground he was out cold she then jumped to the stand where the Raikage was and grabbed him by his robes.

Mira growled, "If you try and hurt my family and friends I'll kill you along with anyone who stands in my way."

Mira pushed the Raikage back onto his seat and jumped back.

The Raikage roared, "How dare she attack me and threaten me."

Itachi sighed and said, "Sorry Mira it would seem you have found out I knew you would act like this your timing was a little to early."

Minato shouted, "Enough! Mira what did you do to Sasuke."

Mira grinned and said, "long story short his little head is all fixed now."

Minato nodded and shouted, "I Minato Namazaki find Sasuke Uchiha innocent of crimes due to two S rank criminals influence on his mind."

Tsunade and Hiashi both shouted out the same.

Tsunade said, "When Sasuke awakens he will be tested and placed where he belongs and he can start his ninja job for the leaf once again trail is closed the end."

Raikage roared, "What no punishments this is unfair he attacked my brother."

Minato moved and stood in front of the Kage and said, "shell we start the trial of the Raikage attacking the Hyuga clan now or later then."

The kage immediately was quiet as Minato flashed away and now stood next to Naruto and Hinata

Minato said, "I want you both in my office right away."

Hinata and Naruto both Nodded and dashed away to the Hokage office.

Ibiki moved with two white robed ninja and carried Sasuke away to Itachi's house.

Hinata

Hinata and Naruto both entered the Hokage office to see Minato, Tsunade, Shizune the Raikage Mira and Bee.

Naruto asked, "Why are we all here?"

Bee answered, "So you're the holder of the nine tails... I hold the eight tails."

Naruto grinned and said, "So are you going to help me learn how to control it."

Raikage laughed and said, "Not going to happen brother."

Bee retorted, "yep I'm going to train you how to control the Nine tails in the land of lightning."

Raikage growled, "No it isn't Bee those leaf ninja can do it themselves after today."

Minato sighed as Tsunade said, "If you do this lord Raikage we might over look the constant kidnapping attempts as long as it doesn't happen again."

Hinata asked, "Lord Hokage can I come with Naruto I want to be with him... I know it will be putting me in more danger than I should be in the current state I am in."

Minato sighed and said, "Hinata its way to much risk."

Bee said, "Its fine she will have the eight Killer Bee protection with her nothing will happen."

Minato nodded and said, "Fine I am coming along with Mira and Yamoto us three will be protecting you Naruto Bee you ok with that."

Bee nodded as the Raikage snorted and said, "Very well I will allow this."

Madara

Madara Growled, "Zetsu we lost Sasuke failed to capture the eight tails or nine tails."

Zetsu taunted, "Looks like the odds are stacking against us."

Kisame asked, "All the nations are on high alert so what do we do now."

Madara answered, "If that girl hadn't used that Space seal to hold everyone down we would have had Sasuke and probably the Raikage."

Kisame asked, "Do you want me to go after The eight tails?"

Madara answered, "No we need more members."

? offered, "Maybe I can help."

Madara spat, "Kabuto I see you have come to your own death."

Kabutomaru Taunted, "But if you kill me then you will be worse off I have a proposal."

Madara asked, "What is it?"

Kabutomaru answered, "I want to know the secrets behind all Jutsu I will help you if you give me just that."

Madara asked, "What could you give me that would help?"

Kabutomaru answered, "I don't have Nagato's DNA but I have all of the other Akauski members."

Kabutomaru made a hand sign and summoned Deidra, Kakazu, Sasori, Danzo, Orochimaru and a blank coffin.

Kabutomaru warned, "don't try anything on me otherwise I will use this last coffin."

Madara froze in shock and muttered, "Very well Kisame I want you to… …. …"

Kisame ordered, "Got it come on Danzo."

Danzo and Kisame left towards their destination while Madara smiled.

Madara Ordered, "Deidra and Sasori I want you to…. …."

Deidra nodded and walked. Away.

Madara ordered, "Orochimaru and Kakazu I want you both to… …. … …."

The two walked away.

Kabutomaru asked, "So is that it?"

Madara answered, "For now anyway once there in position Zetsu might be able to move."

Kabutomaru offered, "Here let me summon some more ninja."

Kabutomaru summoned Hanzo, Chiyo, Third Raikage, fourth Kazakage, second Tsuckage and Kimimaru."

Madara thought, "Good very good."

Madara walked away with Zetsu following him.

She shouted, "The rain village its been taken over none dead... I just escaped."

Tsunade and Nagato looked at Konan and then out the window.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter

Shinato asked, "What's Madara up to?"

Hizashi Muttered, "I feel a pulling feeling."

Fugaku thought, "Same here."

Saratobi explained, "Its the reanimation jutsu."

Shisui asked, "Why am I not going."

Shinato answered, "Itachi made me place a seal on you stopping you from being reanimated if you die remember."

Shisui remembered and thought, "That's right."

Shinato said, "The next chapter should be good."

Saratobi said, "and the one after that right."

Hizashi asked, "Shinato didn't you have a way of dealing with re-animated figures."

Shinato answered, "Yes we will have to wait and see."

Shinato along with the others moved away leaving Shisui and Saratobi alone.

Shisui asked, "Lord third what happened that made Shinato go off like that."

Saratobi answered, "I would rather not say even mentioning it is forbidden around them on punishment worse than death."
