Chapter 53 Hinata's Power

Outside the door of the council room stood Kiba, Choji, Ino and their parents. A few moment before Onoki had stormed out followed by his aids.

"This can't be good." said Tsume as minute later Haishi stormed out. Tsume followed him down the corridor. Later Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru walked out, right behind them was a tall woman about their age, at first he didn't realize who it was. However when she turned her head and showed her white Byakugan eyes, it was Hinata.

"Hinata?" asked Kiba as Hinata looked toward him, at first he was worried but slowly Hinata smiled.

"Hello Kiba." said Hinata

"Well…well looks like Hinata is back." said Ino

"For a little bit at least, after the meeting tomorrow I expect I will be heading back to the demon world." said Hinata as Kiba lowered his head a bit.

"Well in that case, we should all go out and get something to eat." said Choji "My family just opened a new food stand and it has the best BBQ pork."

"Choji-kun, that will not work." said Ino as Choji blinked.

"Oh, ya…." said Choji as he looked at Naruto and Sakura "You're banded and I wouldn't be surprised if they refused to seat Shikamaru and Hinata because of being demon summoners."

"I know a place where we can go." said Naruto

"Don't worry I will not tell my dad about your place." said Choji

"Alright there is a place in the 9th district." Said Naruto

"The 9th?" asked Ino "That place is a rat hole."

"Not anymore." said Naruto as he ran though hand signs. When he finished he slammed his hand onto the ground causing a small one tailed demon fox to appear. The fox looked just like any fox a person would see in the forest.

"Ah Lord Naruto what can I do for you?" asked the fox

"Yes, Ira I need you to find Neji and Tenten. Do you remember when I showed you their photos?" asked Naruto

"They are the male with the long dark hair and white eyes and the female with buns in her hair." said Ira

"Yes, can you find them and then tell them we are meeting at a restaurant called the Leaf Dragon in the 9th district." said Naruto

"No problem sir." said Ira as he ran off down the corridor so fast that he actually slid into the wall because he couldn't grip the floor.

"Who was that?" asked Ino

"He is Ira the massager fox who is assigned to me by the Kyuubi" said Naruto as Ira jumped back to his feet and ran down the hallway. "He is just young, only a 2 million."

"Two million years?" asked Ino "That is young?"

"For demons it is." said Hinata "He has to be talented to be a massager at that age."

"Basically for demons being a massager at two millions is like becoming a gennin when your four years old for a human." said Shikamaru

"Shall we get going?" asked Sakura

"Ya." said Hinata as they started walking away, only Shikamaru stood still.

"Hey, Shikamaru we are leaving!" yelled Kiba

"Go ahead, I'll meet you there." answered Shikamaru "I am waiting for Temari."

"You are whipped." Said Kiba

"I wouldn't say that again if I were you." said Temari as she walked out.

"Alright then, now that you are here can we head out?" said Kiba as they all headed out.

Meanwhile in the doorway, Tsunade couldn't help but smile as she looked at the next generation walk away. It was kind of funny how they paired off. Shikamaru and Temari, Ino and Choji, Hinata and Kiba and lastly Naruto and Sakura.

"They will change the world." said Tsunade

"Ya, they kind of already did that." said Kakashi

"Ya, somehow I know those eight young ninjas will one day become legends." said Tsunade

Kiba didn't know what to say as they walked through the Leaf. He just couldn't bring himself to talk to Hinata, he had dreamed about her every night; dreaming what she looked like now and doing some very mature things with her. However now that she was right beside him he didn't know what to say. They walked through the streets until they finally reached a surprising nice looking restaurant. It was located just inside the outer wall. Naruto and the others walked in and instantly the owner ran up to them. To Kiba's amazement instead of ordering Naruto out the owner shook his hand.

"Mr. Namikaze what can I do for you today?" asked the owner

"Well I was hoping you would have a table open for me and my friends to have a late lunch?" asked Naruto

"Of course, we always have a table open for the man who saved my business from closing." said the owner as he lead them toward some tables which were pushed together by the staff forming a large table.

"We do have two more people coming." said Naruto "I hope that is ok."

"That is fine." said the owner "Now what can I get for you all?"

After placing their orders, Sakura turned to Temari.

"I am judging from that little bit of a tattoo showing itself from under your robe that you and Shikamaru are mated?" asked Sakura as Shikamaru blushed a bit

"And what if we are?" asked Temari calmly as she drank some tea.

"Nothing, I am just wondering how that works? That seal is a demon seal and only demons have it." Said Sakura, she could tell that Kiba was listening very closely to what they where saying.

"Kiba will learn what is in for if he does end up with Hinata." Thought Sakura

"More of a when then if." Added Inner Sakura as she noticed how Hinata had been looking at Kiba, Hinata's quick glances at Kiba was almost too fast for a normal ninja to see, but for a demon summoner it was clear where she was looking.

"In some levels you could say I am one now." Said Temari as the others looked at her. "Tala said when Shikamaru bite my neck he transferred some demon chakra into me….not a lot and I can't summon anything but it was enoth to form the seal."

"I see." said Ino as she noticed Tenten and Neji entering the restaurant. The newly engaged couple sat down at the table and instantly joined the conversation.

"Congratulations on your engagement." said Sakura as Tenten smiled before looking down at her ring with a smile on her face.

"Thanks." said Tenten

"Ah Naruto before I forget." said Neji as he pulled out some money out of his wallet.

"I told you, you don't have to pay me back." said Naruto "It was only $150 and what are friends for."

"Still take it." said Neji as Naruto took the money.

"What was that for?" asked Sakura

"Because of Haishi's sudden need to demanded payment to allow me join to the Hyuga clan, Neji's was a little short on the money to by the ring." said Tenten

"He made you pay for the right to marry the woman you love?" asked Sakura as Neji nodded his head.

"Because according to him Tenten is of a lower class outside of the even the lower Hyuga house standard." said Neji

"Only the fact that I am so good at weapons and my folks own the best weapon shop in the Leaf was I allowed to be engaged to Neji." added Tenten

"That son of a bitch." said Ino

"Sounds like something my father would do." said Hinata

"Because of that Neji wouldn't have had the money in time to pay for the ring before my birthday so Naruto loaned him the money." added Tenten

"He also put the order in his name." said Neji

"People tend to take more care when they see the Namikaze name." said Naruto as he pulled the receipt out, the same receipt that Sakura had saved from going through the wash. "I finally found the order receipt."

"I don't really need that." said Neji as Naruto placed the receipt back into his pocket.

"So the ring isn't for me." thought Sakura slightly disappointed by the fact.

"Long time no see Hinata." said Neji

"Yes, it has been a long time cousin." said Hinata

"You seam stronger." said Neji

"I am stronger." answered Hinata with such force in her voice that Neji was taken aback. "Maybe after lunch I can show you."

"Are you challenging me to a fight?" asked Neji, over the past year Neji had taken up the role of an ANBU commander and was among the strongest of the ANBU.

"Yes." answered Hinata

"Very well." said Neji

Kiba was a little taken aback by the change in Hinata. Just then their food arrived and everyone started eating.

"So any date for the wedding?" asked Ino

"We finally settled on May 5 of next year." said Tenten

"I'll make sure to be back for that." said Hinata

"So Hinata how was your training?" asked Kiba as he finally talked to her.

"Hard, there were many days when I thought I couldn't move another inch but I soon saw the gains from such training." said Hinata

"Have you mastered Sage mode?" asked Shikamaru

"Yes, I can stay in for just over seven minutes." said Hinata

"About the same amount of time as me." said Sakura as she eat her meal.

"So how strong are you guys right now?" asked Kiba

"Basically if they wanted to one of them could kill everyone in the Leaf without getting anything worst then a scratch." said Temari

"Thank God they are on our side." said Tenten

"But in a way we aren't." said Hinata as they looked at her "I mean there are four demon summoners on the enemy side and they are at least as powerful as us."

"Can we not talk about this war?" asked Ino

"Alright." said Naruto as they started talking about how much things had changed. Instead of hiding in the background only saying a line or two Hinata took an active role in the conversation. Instead Kiba stood back and watched amazed at how much Hinata had changed. After an hour and a half they headed toward the training field.

Near the main gate Onoki was preparing to leave to head back to the Rock village. He was about to head out when Haishi Hyuuga walked up to him.

"Lord Tsuchikage a moment if you will." said Haishi

"You have a minute." said Onoki "I am in no mood to deal with your Leaf tricks."

"I am sorry but this is no trick, there are demons coming." said Haishi

"I didn't believe coming from your Hokage why do you think I would believe it coming from you?" asked Onoki

"Our Hokage is a fool and we should have killed the demon child a long time ago, he brought the war to us." said Haishi "I believe we should let the demons destroy each other, but our Hokage is marking toward war."

"What do you want?" asked Onoki

"To save my clan from the foolishness of the Hokage." said Haishi

"And how do you plan to do that?" asked Onoki

"During the war you lost many of your high level clans." said Haishi "How you would like a replacement?"

"So you want to bring your clan to the Rock?" asked Onoki

"Only the main house, the lower house is useless." said Haishi "Don't tell me you wouldn't kill to have the power of the Hyuga clan."

"I get the power of the Hyuga clan for my village and you get a seat on the council?" asked Onoki

"No…I want my clan to have the a seat as the head of your council, forever." said Haishi with a grin "With that you get the power of the Byakugan and the wealth of the Hyuga clan."

"I like those." said Onoki with a smile "However I will need time think about it."

"You have until the demon war comes." stated Haishi

Across the village Neji and Hinata stood across from each other in a woodland training field. Naruto and the others stood in nearby trees waiting for the battle to come.

"Hinata I know you have gotten stronger but I have gotten stronger as well." said Neji as he got into a stance.

"Neji, you are my cousin and probably the only Hyuga who I consider family but you can't win." Said Hinata as she just stood there, her Byakugan not even activated. "Whenever you're ready."

"I'll give you the first move." said Neji

"Very well." said Hinata as she ran though hand signs so fast that Neji couldn't follow. "Lion style howling roar."

With that a gal force wind blew through the forest, sticks and dirt was kicked up into the air. Neji had to close his eyes because of the dirt when he opened his eyes Hinata was gone.

"Hiding will not help you." said Neji as he activated his Byakugan, he expected to spot Hinata instantly however Hinata was nowhere to be seen.

"Having trouble Neji?" asked Hinata's voice from all around him.

"Just because I can't see you doesn't mean you can beat me." said Neji

"Neji I have been trained to strike slightly and unseen….in fact you will only know I am there when my arrow goes through your heart." said Hinata as Neji kept turning trying to find the source of Hinata's voice but it was coming from all around him "However I have something else in mind."

Suddenly two arrows flew out of now where hitting Neji's long shirt. He was sent backwards pinning him to a large tree. Before Neji could move six more arrows shot out of the woods hitting his cloths but not him. However he was now pinned against the tree. He tried to pull himself off only to see two more arrows aimed at his eyes. However these arrows had not been fired they were still in the bow.

"What the?" asked Ino as she looked at the scene. Neji was pinned against a tree but out no where a hand was floating in midair holding a bow, the bow was held horizontally with two arrows in it.

"I win." stated Hinata's voice as suddenly the forest changed. What once looked like just normal grass turned white as Hinata appeared. Neji's eyes widened as he looked into Hinata's eyes, she had the Byakugan activated but instead of the normal all white orbs there was a silver silted cat eye.

"You win." said Neji as Hinata lowered her bow.

"Wow…." said Choji "Hinata just beat Neji in under a minute."

Hinata pulled the arrows out of Neji's cloths freeing him from the tree.

"It's getting late and I need to get some sleep." said Ino "I have an early shift at the hospital tomorrow."

"Ya, Jiriaya is having me go to someplace called Mount Myoboku for a month." said Choji

"So you two are really going home to have sex before you leave?" asked Sakura as the two of them glared at her.

"That is none of you business forehead." Said Ino as the two of them took off.

"I'll take that as a yes." said Sakura

"You know I still find it hard to believe those two ended up together." said Shikamaru

"Ya, I am too." said Sakura "The queen of popular with someone who we always considered a nerd. However things change and they love each other. Besides ever since he started training with Jiraiya he seems more muscular than anything else."

"Ya." said Temari

"It also helps that Jiraiya gave him that perverted idea of using his clan's body expansion justu to make his…." started Naruto only to get a death glare from hell from Sakura.

"Finish that sentence and you will be sleeping on the couch for a week…alone." stated Sakura as Naruto instantly shut up.

"Wow…looks like Sakura knows the right buttons to push to get Naruto to do what she says." said Kiba

"All woman know how to do that to men." said Shikamaru "Just wait till it happens to you."

"We better get going too." said Sakura

"Wait where is Hinata going to stay?" asked Kiba as everyone looked at him.

"We are arranged to get married so with you." said Hinata from down below "Unless you want to call it off?"

"No…no." said Kiba "But I warn you I live alone now and it isn't the cleanest place."

"Kiba if it was neat and clean then it wouldn't fit your personally." answered Hinata

Well thanks a boatload of Pepsi fueling an all nighter I finished my paper ahead of time and had time to finish editing this chapter. I hope you liked it; next chapter is more focused on Kiba/Hinata. This was focused on Hinata's new powers. So please keep reading. Thanks Wilkins75
