Chapter 7 - Out of the Blue

Naruto ducked left, his arm hanging limp at his side, as Alistair's butcher blade smashed into the ground, splitting small fissures on impact and he laughed gleefully. "Come pretender! Why run when you can fight!"

Naruto using the small breather popped his arm back into place and he quickly did a back flip, throwing several kunai as he did. Alistair simply blocked the kunai which thudded into the ground. He took a step and Naruto made a one handed tiger sign and the kunai hissed for half a second, alerting Alistair to the paper bombs attached to the end. "Shit" he managed to get out when they exploded and Naruto took a second to breath.

A little ways away, Shino was slumped against a tree, smoke coming from his charred head, as a shaking Hinata tried patching the cut on his shoulder. "Come on Shino-kun, we have to go help Naruto-kun, he's in trouble."

"Hinata-san, that lighting jutsu it did more than hurt me, if it weren't for my kikaichu colony taking the hit, it would have killed me. As it stands only one tenth of my bugs are alive, and of those none of them are in any shape for combat. For that matter I can hardly feel my legs, and this cut on my shoulder has left my with only one usable arm. If Naruto is to get help it will have to be from you or one of the other students. I doubt any of the teachers will get here any time soon."

Having said that Shino tilted his head and passed out, leaving Hinata by herself. 'Kami, this can't be happening.' She glanced over to Naruto who tried blocking one of Alistair's swings, which launched him into, and bounced him off of, a nearby tree. A movement in said tree got her attention as she saw a shock of blue hair. The lady, Jezebel, was staring at the two fighting men like predators.

She had a kunai and was aiming it. Hinata steeled her eyes, Naruto had enough on his plate to deal with. She took out a few shuriken and tossed them at the tree. Jezebel dodged them of course, but her attention turned away from Naruto and onto her. "Ahh the Hyuga. She jumped down from her tree and stalked towards Hinata. "Tell me girl, you can barley stand in front of me without shaking, what hope do you have of stopping me?"

It was her scream that got Naruto's attention. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" His eyes wide Naruto turned around and saw Jezebel holding Hinata by her throat, against a tree Lighting spamming the entirety of her body, her body falling to the ground, smoke rising from her body, blood coming from the corner of her mouth, as well as a cut on her throat. The same blood that was dripping from Jezebels fingers as she grinned.

"NOOOOO" Naruto roared out, orange chakra seeping over his body.

"Oh so has the fox come out to play?"

Naruto whipped around to glare at Alistair "I'LL KILL YOU"

Hinata weakly opened her eyes, she couldn't feel her body, hell it took most of her strength to just watch as Naruto fought desperately, rage in his fist forcing Alistair back. This was it huh? This was the end of Hinata Hyuga. Unable to defend herself, or protect the boy she loves. She so badly wanted to get up, go over to him and tell him everything. Tell him he's not alone, that she cares for him. she wanted to have his back as he fought. As her eyes started to fall the last thing she saw was Jezebel being sent flying by a powerful punch from Naruto.

And when they opened next she found herself in some sort of garden.

Earlier that day

Jezebel grinned as she looked at the claw like weapons she had just stolen. Tekko-Kagi they were called, a metal ring that fit over ones wrist and had 7 or 8 inch sharp "claws" protruding from the top of the ring. Commonly known as the Neko weapon. Used for slicing and dicing they were uniquely suited to Jezebel's fighting style. "I will paint with so many vivid reds with these once this is all over". She looked over to her companion, Alistair who had turned in his blade for a longer, serated blade. "what about you bud?"

The scrape of his smooth stone on steel could be heard clear as day. He grunted before looking up "i'm going to find the remaining members of the Seven swordsmen of the Mist and kill them slowly and painfully."

"Ooohh are they the reason's you were killed and brought to hell?"

He grinned "well only the first part of that is true, i think a girl named Jane signed my ticket to hell, man she was a screamer. Remind me you were the Ripper of Stone correct?"

Jezebel held up one of her claws and licked one of the blades, raising an eyelid "problem?"

"I know it took the explosion corp of Stone to take you down, then one of their members went rouge. But no there's not a problem, not unless you decide to turn on me."

Jezebel gave him an innocent look, "now why would I do that?"

A dead stare was her response, "you killed anyone in sight and have no problem stabbing comrades in the back. Needless to say I have been sleeping with one eye open."

Jezebel chuckled "well you're not wrong Alistair, so is there any plan to this, or are we just gonna kill this little shit and be done with this?"

"The Leaf's Shinobi have gotten considerable stronger since I fought them,so yes there is a plan that does involve us killing this kid without drawing attention to ourselves, and fighting the entire Shinobi corps of Konoha."

Jezebel pouted "but why not? Their just more lambs to slaughter"

"Maybe by themselves, but Leaf Ninja believe in teamwork, and having the highest standing army out of the Five great nations, we won't last long. Anyways here's the plan, today the academy students start a three day training exercise in one of the bigger training grounds, the instructors won't interfere with this so that's the best chance to strike the fox."

Jezebel chewed on the bottom of her lips, "I feel a but coming."

"Well yes a small one, it's a team exercise, now I dont know who is third teammate is, but the fox is definitely teaming up with the Hyuga heiress."

"And that's going to be a problem how, she's just a child?."

"You've never had the misfortune of fighting a Hyuga have you?"

"Nah, never had a mission in the Leaf, I hear they have the Byakugan, but that's it."

"Let me inform you then, The Hyuga clan are taijutsi specialist, combing they're Byakugan, which allows them to see ones chakra points, with their Gentle fist fighting style they can paralyze opponents and shut down their opponents chakra network. Plus their Bykugan is said to give them three hundred and sixty degree vision."

Jezebel whistled "so even if shes experienced, one hit is all she needs to get an advantage."

"Yeah basically, I've taken a look at his class their's an Uchiha in his class."

"Now them I have heard of, is he a threat?"

"No, the fox and the Uchiha hate each other and it doesn't seem like hes activated his Sharingan yet. Their's an Inuzuka in class, more brawn than brains it seems, but he has been working on combination ninjutsu with his ninken, and heightened sense itll be hard to sneak up on him."

"It doesn't matter, they're just a bunch of students, what do we have to fear from them?"

"The odds are slim at best, but I want to my chances at living as good as I can, I dont want to die because I was unprepared. So here's what I was thinking..."

Naruto stared at the walled off Aburame compound. Even in his previous life, he had never had the pleasure of visiting this place. Maybe that was a good thing, even at the gate he had this feeling that he was being watched. He had been staring at it for about five minutes, wondering what to say to Shino.

The decision itself was an easy one convincing Shikamaru and Choji to take Ino based on their family relations, they had been trained together since they could be trained. Working together they had an advantage, plain and simple, Shikamari was smart enough to see that, how he was going to convince her to join his team wasnt Naruto's concern.

So that left Sakura and Shino as the two undecided, as well as several other civilian family students but he didnt know, not did he come close to, trusting them. At least Sakura was to stupid to hide if she was going to try and stab him in the back. No, his third teammate had to be Shino if he was going to win.

Taking on Sasuke at his current level one on one was easy enough but throw Kiba into the mix and he was gonna have trouble. Hinata would be helpful, and Shino could always fight at long range. It was then the gate opened, and out stepped Shibi, hands in his pockets, almost mirroring Shino except his coat was a darker color.

'More like Shino mirrors his father. At least they dont hug and do that weird sunset shit like Guy and Lee.'

"Uzumaki-San, you've been standing out here for quite some time. May I help you with something?"

Simple civility, that's why Naruto liked the Aburame, they treated everyone with the same stoic attitude, including him. "Yes Aburame-sama I was hoping I could speak with Shino-San if he was around. I was hoping he would join my team for the survival exercise."

"That would be you, and the Hyuga heiress correct?"

"Word travels fast, but yes me and Hinata are a team. We, well me mostly, are looking for our third and final teammate. Of the options left available, Shino is the wisest choice."

"Tell me why that is Uzumako-San, why not try and convince someone already on a team to join you?"

"Well Hinata and I, we're close range fighters, and neither of us are really strategists. And while Hinata's Byakugan is good for stopping an ambush, an Aburame's Kikaichu can spot enemies far outside a Hyuga's range. Simply put he would complete this team, make up for our weaknesses."

Shibi nodded and stood to the side, one hand outstretched towards the inside of the compound. "Acceptable Uzumaki-San, please come inside. I will take you to Shino's house."

That caught Naruto off guard."he doesn't live with you and his mom?"

Shibi's shoulders sagged ever so slightly, almost unnoticeable and the only reason Naruto even saw it was because Shino would do the same thing when he was thinking out about something he didnt like. "It's customary in the Aburame clan, he has his own house so he can grow his own colony. Once he becomes a genin and starts doing missions, he will start paying the Bill's of that house."

"Ahh that's interesting."

"Do you disagree with that then Uzumaki-san."

"No, not at all Aburame-sama, I am sure you're aware, but I live by myself. Never had my parents around. I guess I'm saying if I had the choice I would spend as much time around my parents as I could. I didn't mean to insult the Aburame clan."

"It is fine with me Uzumaki-san." As they were talking they had been going deeper into the compound. Though nowhere near the small city that was the Uchiha compound, but it was sizable indeed. They stopped in front of a small house, where luckily enough Shino was just stepping out of the door.

"Oh hello father, Naruto. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Shibi gave a curt nod towards Shino, "hello son, good day Uzumaki-San."

"You as well Aburame-sama. Hey Shino what's up?"

"Hello Naruto-San, I'm on my way to get the final bits of camping equipment I'll need. How can I help you?"

Hinata was in her room, she had spread all of her supplies around her going through what she had. 'Maybe I need more gauze? I cant disappoint Naruto-kun. He's going to get Shino-kun, and I need to be able to take care of us if we or one of the other students get hurt. But is it good enough."

"I know that face, stop it Hinata-sama."

Hinata jumped and was surprised to see Neji standing at her door. His behavior recently towards her had changed and it both confused her, scared her and made her happy all at once. He was smiling at her more often, talking to her, and had even confronted some school girls when they tried to pick on Hinata.

She didn't know what had happened, but she wanted to believe it was for the better. "Oh hello Neji-kun. What are you doing here?"

Neji sat down in front of Hinata, on his knees. "Well I remembered when I did this event, and how nervous I was believe it or not."

"You were nervous Neji-kun?" That genuinely shocked Hinata, she had only ever known the calm, cool, and conservative demeanor that Neji always showed.

"Yes I was, I teamed up with some Uchiha nobody, and a civilian. None of us wanted to work together, the only reason we formed that team is because of mutual respect for our battle prowess. Needless to say we succeeded, we scored four scrolls, not including ours."

"Do you think my team is going to win?"

Neji shrugged "maybe, you dont know what your other classmates might have learned outside of school. Which brings me to my reason for being here. This exercise is meant to put you in enemy territory, where you need to retrieve vital information, while protecting your own."

"I know that Neji-kun and.."

"Hinata-sama the only people you are to trust in the next three days are your teammates, and only them."

"Wha?"

Everyone else is going to be thinking about winning. Anyone who can beat you that is. I know you have a very trusting nature, but I urge you to heed my advice least it be used against you." Having said that Neji rose from his position, "now if you'll excuse me I have training to get too."

Hinata watched Neji's reatreating figure before staring at her equipment. 'Used against me?' She shook her head. 'Don't have time to think about that I need to meet up with Naruto at Ichiraku's"

A little while later saw Hinata approaching the small building were she easily found Naruto eating with stoic Shino. She smiled as she approached "ah Shino-kun I see Naruto-kun convinced you to join us?"

Naruto looked up from his bowl "it's the craziest thing Hina-chan, he was going to find one of us and join us himself!"

Shino nodded "correct. It was the logical choice after all. The Shikamaru was always going to ask Ino because of their parents famed Ina-Shika-Cho formation, and Sasuke and Kiba on one team is a disaster waiting to happen. You and Naruto were my highest chance of being the victor."

"Wanna bowl Hina-chan? We have a little bit of make it to the training ground."

Hinata shook her head "no thanks Naruto-kun, I'm a little to nervous to eat at the moment. I'm surprised you can to be honest."

Grinning he replied "eh my teacher always said make sure you eat when you can before you go out in the field. You never know what can happen, or when the next time you'll be able to eat."

That had been Naruto's official story for his sudden change in attitude and massive improvement in school. He had found a teacher over the summer. No doubt Sarutobi had Kakashi investigate his story. But he was sticking with it. And its not like he was lying that was a lesson Jiraiya had taught him.

"I would like to meet this teacher of yours Naruto-san he sounds nice."

"If only Shino, he was in Konoha over the summer for business hes not around anymore. Though I think you'd like him."

They sat for a while longer talking about random things and enjoying themselves before heading out to the second largest training g ground in Konoha, a side from the Forest of Death. Training ground 28, a massive place with a stream running along the left border. So big it was actually located outside of Konoha. Heavily forested, a number of churning would be stationed along the perimeter to observe and make sure no students left. After the three day period the teams would make their way to the entrance. Anyone lost would be found by tracker special nin.

"All right everyone quiet down please!" Iruka, with a clever use of his big head jujitsu was able to make some peace out of the sea of students before him. The sun was looming in the middle of the sky. "Ok now please find me or Mizuki-san and write down who is on whose team please. And remember this is a training exercise, not a combat tournament. So dont try and hurt your fellow classmates please." He gave a hard stare to and indifferent Sasuke and Naruto.

The three students ended up with Mizuki. "Ah Naruto-san, Hinata and Shino are your teammates for this?" Naruto stared at Mizuki for second. He was so different then he used to be, he was actually nice, actually being a teacher. He didn't know how to feel.

"Yes Mizuki-sensie."

"Ok good here's you're scroll. Remember the objective of this is to not lose it. Gaining someone else's is just a bonus understood?"

"Yes Mizuki-sensie."

"Good now head over to the west entrance and wait for the signal to start."

Making there way to the entrance where the stream was located, they saw a small bridge had been built over it. A random chunin was standing there as well as a few other teams. Iruka approached Naruto as they were waiting. "Naruto do you think we could speak privately for a second?"

"Yeah Iruka-sensei what's up." Walking a few steps into the wood line Iruka handed Naruto a single piece of what paper with a seal that had the kanji for flare on it. "This is a simple chakra flare. All you need to do is push some chakra into the back of the paper and it will send a flare into the direction the seal is pointed. I should be able to see it from anywhere while I'm observing this test."

"Thanks Iruka-sensei but why are you giving it just to me, I mean I can understand why, but do you honestly think someone's gonna try and get me while I'm in there? I'll have Shino, and Hinata watching my back."

"I just know that a few months ago several students where gonna ruff you up and send you into a hunting mob so it's just a precaution ok? To make it fair every team has one, but I pray they won't need to use it. Now go back to your team it's a bout to start."

"Thanks Iruka-sensei!" Running back he never saw the smile on Iruka's face

"What was that Naruto-kun?"

"Ah he gave me this flare seal thingy. In case of emergencies only, all the teams have one." The shrill sound of a bell being rung sounded the start of the test. The three students looked at one another and nodded silently making their way into the woods. The next three days an uncertain anxiety to them.

Jezebel grinned as two chunin bodies dropped to the ground. "Well that was easier than I expected of Leaf nin."

Alastair stood up from his kneeling position "well we did have the element of surprise. Though they were useful in telling us the brat and his team started on the West side."

She could tell by his face something was off. "Ok what's bothering you then?"

"You heard him, the boy's not only teamed up with the Hyuga Heiress but also an Aburame as well."

"Ok, not to sound dumb or anything but why is that important?"

The Aburame used chakra enhanced bugs called kikaichu to fight their battles. These bugs can do anything from having poisonous stingers to chakra or vitality draining bites. Their long range fighters as well as strategic thinkers as well, he may pose a bigger threat than the Hyuga if we're not careful."

"So what are you suggesting then?"

"Well firstly all teams are equipped with chakra flares, so let's avoid most of then until we find our prey. Avoid any chance of the ninja on the outside knowing of our presence at all, and when we find our target take out the Aburame first, that should rattle the Hyuga and anger the boy."

"But won't making him angry let him tap into the fox's chakra?"

"Maybe, but he won't be fighting with any style. He'll be predictable."

"Oh that's smart. You really are well informed about all of these different families."

"I liked being prepared for the worst. I just wasn't strong enough to take on Seven deadly swordfighers with all of their unique fighting styles."

"Oooohhh touchy subject. Fine let's go kill this kid and his friends and go our separate ways."

The sun was just starting to set as naruto and Hinata were setting up their tents. They had traveled about half a mile into the wood line. Hoping that they could hide out in their little clearing they'd found until the three days were up and make a speedy retreat.

Naruto frowned, someone was watching them, but he didn't think they were students. They way they had hidden themselves was greater than anyone in his class could do. Plus they were being patient, he had know idea how long they had originally been watch him and his group.

"Naruto-San can I speak to you?"

Shino had walked up, having caught some fish from a small stream running off of the river near by. "Yeah Shino what's up?" They walked a couple steps away and Shino started talking in a hushed voice.

"Have you spotted them yet?"

"Yeah just outside the clearing in the trees, yeah I spotted him."

"There's a second one too, a woman. My guess is Sasuke and Sakura found us. But knowing Sasuke's demeanor and general attitude towards you, and Sakura's willingness to do whatever he wants, I have yet to come up with a reason for why they haven't attacked yet, also lets not forget Kiba's hotheadedness. He wouldn't wait for this, he'd attack right away to try and prove himself stronger."

Naruto whistled, that had been the most Shino had ever said before. He was taking this seriously. "Yeah, you're right what do you suggest we do?"

"Well I think a head on confrontation is inevitable. I believe it would be best to get it over with, and get rid of their advantage of surprise." Naruto looked over to Hinata, by the fire cooking at the moment.

"Hina-chan can you come over here?"

Hinata stood up from her kneeling position over the fire, the smell of fish permeating the area. "Yes Naruto-kun?"

Him and Shino quickly informed her of the current problem. "Can you use your Byakugan to see who it is?"

"I mean I can, but i can't activate it at will yet. I need to weave signs and I don't think I can do it subtly enough without alerting whoever's is watching us."

"Oh I have an idea, alright Hinata listen up, you're not gonna like this."

"So what are they doing now?"

A little ways away, Alastair glared from around his tree. "Their just talking to each other. To far away for me to make out what their saying."

"You dont think they found us do you?"

Alistair laughed. "Please, they're not even genin yet. No way in hell do they have the tracking capabilities for that. Now remember the plan, once they fall asleep you take out the Aburame, and-"

"Oh yeah why am I doing that again?"

"Because if something goes south and they're somehow alerted to our presence, the other two are close range fighters, he will be the only one actively trying to make distance in a fight. And the Aburame are notorious for it."

"Right and-"

"I DID NOT SAY THAT"

Alistair shipped his head around the tree, the Aburame was apparently knocked out, and the fox was on his ass, a very pissed off looking Hyuga standing over him. "What the...looks like their fighting, change of plans. Let's let them wear each other out. Kill them while their tired." Looking around the tree he focuses don the fight at hand.

"I'm giving you one chance to apologize Naruto."

Naruto started crawling back cear in his eyes, Hinata knew how to sell it. "Look Hina-chan just let me explain I Swear-" Naruto backflipped as Hinata lunged forward with a jūken strike.

"Don't call me that!" Hinata did a backflip of her own and started doing hand signs, Naruto in turn scrabbled to his feet and pulled his blade out, trying to stand in a defensive formation.

Alistair was intrigued by this every Huyga he'd ever met never cast any jutsu, well some of the lower level ones needed to to activate their...shit. his eyes went wide as he abruptly grabbed jezebel by her waist and jumped back as far as his legs could take him.

"Ahh..hey asshole what was the for what's going on? What was that for?"

"The girls activating her Byakugan. She'd have seen us for sure."

Hinata narrowed her eyes and there were a few seconds of silence between the two before they rushed each other. What followed was a series of juken jabs from Hinata which was blocked by the sheath of Naruto's blade.

"So who is it?" Hinata's frown deepened.

"I don't know they're not students, and their chakra is really strange."

Naruto paused for a moment, worry evident on his face..could it be..."when you say strange do you mean it doesn't look like normal chakra or it doesn't act like normal chakra?"

"Both Naruto-kun, their chakra is like swirling paths of orange flowing in the opposite direction, as compared to you or me. Why, do you know who it is?"

"Shit, sort of and let's just say I don't know if we're strong enough to face them. When i say run, go to Shino and find the nearest exit, or teacher tell them intruders have entered here."

"Wait what are you gonna do Naruto-kun?"

'It's me they want, no need to get Hinata involved in this.' Naruto shook his head as he looked behind Hinata "I'm gonna hold them off long enough for you and Shino to get away and then I'm going to book it."

"But-"

"No buts Hinata, this is serious and they mean to do serious damage. Now can you tell me where they are?"

"Who ever the guy is jumped right after I activated my Byakugan. Their somewhere in the tee line about twenty feet behind me."

"Greta now RUN!" As he said that Naruto threw several Kunis in the air and said "Ninja Art: shadow Kunis jutsu!" Four Kunis became a volley of fifty as Alistair pressed himself against his tree, the sounds of several thuds and impacts around made the intention clear.

"Well I think they found us."

"No-" *hisssss* Jezebel saw several of the kunai thrown had explosive tags attached to them "shit."

Several explosions later Alistair jumped into an empty clearing save for one blond in the middle. He was glaring at them, his blade out of its sheath. "Alright you little shit where'd your friends go?"

"Why do you care? You're after me right? No need to get them involved in this." Where was the other one? Did he get lucky and take her out in the first attack? Naruto got into a defensive stance, no she was around here some where. "Speaking of friends wheres yours? I know you're not alone."

Alistair grinned and pulled out his long blade. "She's around. But I wouldnt worry about her too much. I'm you're opponent now!" And alistair too one long step and swung his massive blade. And Naruto made his first mistake that day, he decided to block the sword.

And his reward was his left arm popping out of place. "AAHHHH what the hell, that felt like one of baa-chans punches." His arm gangly limply by his side Naruto jumped back, to analyze his opponent. But Alistair grinned and made half of the snake sign.

"Earth style: erupting pillars!" Just Naruto landed the ground beneath him was starting to shake and before he could move a small portion of the ground rose sending naruto into the air. "NOW JEZEBEL! And Naruto saw Jezebel come out of a tree lightning cackling around her arm. She drew her arm back and threw it forward.

"Lightning style: Arcing dragon!" Out of her outstretched palm the lighting leapt forward, charging at Naruto's rising form, forming into a roaring dragon.

Naruto's eyes were wide. It was coming to fast he couldn't raise a proper defense in time and- he felt himself being grabbed from behind and flung towards the ground. The surprising sound of Shino screaming in pain made his eyes tear up in horror.

He looked up and it was indeed Shino's body tumbling towards the earth. "Shino-san!" He leapt up and caught Shino. "I told you to run Shino-San why did you do that?"

"Because Naruto-san" he said in between ragged breaths "we're friends. And leave shinobi" he coughed up a little blood "doesn't leave their allies behind. I will be fine Naruto, most of my colony took the brunt of the attack." Naruto felt a shadow loom over him and Shino.

Alistair Reardon back for one more powerful swing "DIE!"

"Eight trigrams: 64 palms!" Hinata rushed forward her hands glowing blue as she hit two palm thrusts on Alistair before he backed up and started dodging the rest.

Now Hinata was in front of Naruto and a wounded Shino, while Alistair was in front of her, Jezebel landing on the ground behind him. Naruto quickly dug into his pockets and found the seal Iruka had given pointed it towards the sky and said "Kai!" A giant blue flare rocketed towards the sky.

"Shit that's going to get someone's attention, Jezebel we have to finish this quickly." And he lunged forward batting Hinata away and aim towards Naruto who threw Shino towards Hianata and leapt out of the way, Jezebel leaping back into the treeline. Alistair leapt towards Naruto again.

Hinata cooled herself and got into the juken stance "I can protect my friends, come you dumb bitch I'm your opponent now."

Jezebel licked the sharpened edge of her claws with a wicked smile "gladly!" What followed was a game of cat and mouse, Hinata stepping forward trying to land a hit on Jezebel and then Jezebel stepping forward slashing wildly trying to get Hinata.

She saw her opportunity when Hinata took a step backwards and slipped slightly. She charged forward and grabbed Hinata by the throat, holding her there, choking her slightly. She got real close to Hinata's face, close enough to lick a small cut on her throat, and whispered "got ya."

"NOOOOO" Naruto roared out, orange chakra seeping over his body.

"Oh so has the fox come out to play?"

Naruto whipped around to glare at Alistair "I'LL KILL YOU" and then the cloak was complete and he disappeared and reappeared right beside Jezebel arm cocked back and her eyes went wide.

"How in the hell?" Was all she got out before his fist in slow motion hit her in the jaw, dislocating itand sending her backwards. So powerful was his hit that Jezebel left a small trench in the ground.

Hinata weakly opened her eyes, she couldn't feel her body, hell it took most of her strength to just watch as Naruto fought desperately, rage in his fist forcing Alistair back. This was it huh? This was the end of Hinata Hyuga. Unable to defend herself, or protect the boy she loved. She so badly wanted to get up, go over to him and tell him everything. Tell him he's not alone, that she cared for him. she wanted to have his back as he fought. As her eyes started to fall the last thing she saw was Alistair kicking Naruto back.

And when they opened next she found herself in some sort of garden.

Alistair found himself physically being pushed back as Naruto's form was a wild frenzy of claw swipes and very heavy kicks. 'Shit this is getting out of hand. I better hightailed it out of here, people are starting to come this way. '

He waited for one of Naruto's reckless charges and side stepped, kicking him in the ribs off into the forest, before he picked Jezebel out of her trench and started running away. 'The fox is indeed strong. But next time I won't underestimate him.'

Naruto slowly walked into the clearing looking at the destruction left behind and the he saw Hinata's form. "Hina-chan!" Running over he started inspecting her. She was hurt really bad, the cut on her throat wasn't deep, but he couldn't tell how badly she was messed up on the inside. Her breathing was starting to get shallow. Naruto was starting to panic

"HELP! ANYBODY!" Hinata was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Well I bet you weren't expecting that huh? And how will this all conclude itself? Find out next time in chapter 8 of Naruto the guardian
