Author's Note (A/N): Hey guys I'm back again with another chapter for you all.

I also have some good news. I was able to find the original chapters I had typed up 2 months ago the other night and so I've fused the old Chapter 18 with this brand new Chapter 19 and I think it came out better than I could have hoped for. The next chapter to come out after this will be the old original Chapter 19 that I had already written and it was already perfect in my opinion and now I wont have to spend days trying to come up with a new way to write what's going to be Chapter 20. I'm so happy. Now I can turn my attention to other things in the mean time while you guys enjoy this chapter and the next to come out.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy.


Chapter 19

The Bridge to Nowhere

"He's not waking up." A frantic voice called out.

"Why isn't he waking up?" Another spoke out.

"I don't know, something is wrong." Yet another voice spoke out over the others.

Many voices were conversing in a frenzy early in the morning. "Kakashi we need to do something." A woman spoke up. "I don't know what is going on with him Anko." Kakashi responded to the now named Anko. The problem that was causing this conversation to occur was the fact that early in the morning Kakashi awoke to find Naruto covered in copious amounts of sweat and tossing in his sleep.

"Sensei his back." Hinata spoke up in shock. Her Byakugan active. What she saw disturbed her to no end. Corrosive red Yōki was pouring out of the claw marks on Naruto's back and his chakra network was under a lot of strain. She could also see Iris's energy flowing throughout Naruto's chakra network relieving the stress being put on it. It was pure anarchy inside of Naruto's body and throughout all of this Hinata was remembering the time she visited Naruto in the hospital after he was attacked the previous night by the mysterious demon. She remembered seeing his back and the claw marks that stretched across it. At the time she was still getting used to seeing Yōki and other energy signatures so seeing such vile energy emanating from Naruto's back every time she looked at him with her Byakugan on was always unnerving to her. In fact, it often made her nauseous.

Lifting Naruto up a little Kakashi pulled up the back of his shirt and his lone eye widened in shock at what he saw. His back was swollen and red. The four claw marks on his back were glowing an ominous red color. 'The mark he received is acting up. What does this mean? Could it be?' Kakashi questioned to himself.

"What do we do? Why can't we wake him up?" Anko asked in concern. Seeing the state Naruto was in was worrying Anko to no end and she subconsciously placed her hand on a spot behind her neck. "Like I said I don't know. It looks like he is having some type of nightmare or something brought on by the mark on his back. We can't wake him up. He will have to wake up on his own I'm afraid." Kakashi remarked.

After that was said the door opened with Sakura, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai walking into the room. The reason Anko and Hinata were already in the room was because Anko wanted to sneak into Naruto's bed to get a reaction out of him like normal and Hinata catching on to this tried to persuade the dango loving woman against such an idea. This lead them to coming into the room only to see Kakashi who looked like he just woke up himself already up and checking on Naruto who was already sweating quite a bit.

After informing the others of what was happening, but making sure to exclude showing them the glowing claw marks Kakashi managed to make the other Genin leave. Now it was just him along with Anko and Kurenai. "We have to inform Lord Hokage about this right away. We don't know what this means or if it is somehow harming Naruto. Worst yet we don't know if Naruto's in danger or if all of us could be in danger either." Kakashi explained. "You're right but I would still like to know more about Naruto's condition. You've kept a lot about him hidden from me." Kurenai requested. She knew a little about the blond haired boy and was acquainted with him from the many times he would stop by and take Hinata with him. He was always polite to her so she could respect that about him but other than that she knew about as much about him as everybody else. However, she knew that Anko who was her best friend was very close with Naruto and Kakashi was also secretly close with Naruto even though he never really talked about it much.

"We will but first we need to get a message out to Lord Hokage about this immediately." Kakashi spoke as he got out a small scroll and a pen and started to write out a message detailing everything that has happened up until this point. "Are you going to send Pakkun out to deliver this?" Anko asked in curiosity. "Yeah, it will take him a little longer to get back homes since we're on an island but he should make it back in a few days at top speed." Kakashi explained as he soon finished the report he was going to send back.

"Don't bother using Pakkun. Keep him here with you. I have a better idea." Anko thought on the fly. While she knew that Pakkun was one of the best Ninja Hound Trackers in the world and also a fast Currier she also knew that they didn't have time to waste and he would be better useful to Kakashi here encase he needed him. "A better idea? Like what? None of your snakes can make it any faster than Pakkun?" Kakashi questioned. Kurenai was also wondering the same thing.

"Just watch." Anko said as she walked over to Naruto and tapped the brown teddy bear besides him. In a puff of smoke Iris was there with Jean Paul in her hands. Kurenai's jaw dropped since she never even sensed the presence of others in the room other than her colleagues and Naruto. "What?" She whispered in bewilderment.

"Aunty?" Iris mumbled out as she opened her eyes to find that she was in the arms of Anko who picked her up off the bed. "Hey their kiddo, where strapped for time so I have to ask a favor of you princess." Anko spoke in a soft voice that the others never really hear her use. More questions were popping into Kurenai's mind with each passing second. "Ok, but Daddy is in pain. I think he might be having nightmares or even visions." Iris commented as she tried to get back to Naruto's side.

"Did she just say daddy." Kurenai asked wide eyed.

Deciding to quickly get her request across before Iris became to frantic Anko jolted Iris to get her attention back on her. "Hey Iris can we use one of your birds to send a message to your grandfather. It's really important ok." Anko asked as kindly as possible. Anko knows that when it comes to Naruto Iris tends to get tunnel vision and one track minded. Right now Iris was trying to concentrate her energy that was circulating inside of Naruto around so that she could relieve the stress it was putting on his chakra network. Being asleep this process would go a lot faster and easier since the rest of her body isn't functioning much but when awake this process requires active concentration.

Understanding how serious the situation was and knowing that the Hokage needed to know this Iris nodded her head. Her eyes glowed green for a fraction of a second and a robin came to the window. Anko opened the window and let the little bird in. Seeing what Anko's plan was Kakashi didn't waste any time in talking and tied the little scroll to the bird. Iris's eyes glowed a second time and this time the emerald color appeared in the bird's eyes. "Go." Iris commanded and the bird shot off out the window going way faster than a normal bird. It disappeared into the forest surrounding the home.

Iris's eyes started to become half lidded as she focused back in on Naruto. She wasn't even consciously aware of the others in the room. "Daddy." Iris whispered as they all saw Naruto toss and turn in the bed obviously filled with pain from his back. Anko didn't notice it before but Iris had a little bit of sweat on her as well and her breathing wasn't a hundred percent normal. "Ok princess thanks for that. Now I need you to help keep Naruto safe ok. I need for you to heal him." Anko said as she placed Iris back in the bed with Naruto and the second she did Iris immediately latched on to Naruto's arm and her eyes closed off in seconds. She suddenly transformed back into a teddy bear with the last bit of consciousness that she had before she completely went to sleep.

"You have some explaining to do." Kurenai said in a serious tone.


After an hour of talking the three Jonin sensei's left the room with Kurenai overwhelmed with a lot of new information to take in. "Hey you said for us to tell you everything." Anko said with a shrug of her shoulders. Getting down stairs the Jonin did their best to explain to everyone present what was happening to Naruto. They had made the decision that Naruto obviously would not be joining them on the mission. It was a serious blow to their fire power especially since they knew Naruto's power would be highly beneficial in the fight ahead of them. But he was in no condition to go if he couldn't even wake up.

The others had mixed reactions to this. Tazuna and Tsunami had worried looks on their faces. More so Tsunami. The mother in her as well as the growing curiosity that she had for Naruto made it so that she was very concerned. Tazuna was forming a respect for Naruto and his selfless acts, not to mention his power and bravery in standing up to Zabuza. Naruto also quickly picked up a lot on the engineering aspects he and the rest of his colleagues were talking about when they were discussing the bridge.

Hinata was very worried for her best friend and she had a slight idea of what was happening based on the fact she knew about the mark on his back and she could see Yōki with her Byakugan. She wanted to stay behind to look after him but she knew that she would be needed with the others on the bridge.

Sakura wasn't sure what was going on but ever since she saw the mark on Naruto's back she's been itching to ask him about it. However, based on the way he reacted that day she wasn't so sure she would get a response out of him if she had tried to ask. But none the less she was very worried at this point for her teammate, but she didn't know how to help him.

Sasuke wasn't sure what was going on either but he knew that the mark on Naruto's back meant something important when Naruto basically shut Sasuke down after it was shown to them. In the back of Sasuke's mind ever since they've started the mission he's been having some doubts and suspicions about Naruto. Sasuke wondered where Naruto has learned all his skills from and more importantly just how much stronger is Naruto compared to him. The way he carries himself is not like a fresh Genin just out of the Academy like everyone else. It's like he's a Jonin with some experience under his belt.

Shino was as calm as ever but on the inside he's been keeping his eye on his friend. He planted yet another one of his bugs on Naruto but as soon as it made contact with the Yōki emanating from his back his bug died immediately. Shino's bugs have a slight passive immunity to Yōki due to the fact that for years he's tagged Naruto with numerous bugs only for them to slowly freeze to death the longer they stayed in contact with his body. Since Naruto's chakra is constantly laced with Yōki Shino's bugs have built up a tolerance for it. But the second the bug he sent up to Naruto's room came in contact with the foul Yōki on his back the bug died immediately.

Fuki herself was mostly indifferent to what was happening to Naruto on the outside but on the inside was a different story. 'What is happening to him. Is the mark acting up because one of them is close by?' She thought to herself. She was off in a corner by herself. Her team mates were close by but neither of them cared all that much about what was happening to Naruto.

Kiba was of a different opinion. "So the loser is just having a bunch of nightmares, big deal. It's nothing to get worked up about." He said as he laid back in one of the couches. Akamaru was in his lap resting. "Kiba you shouldn't say such things. This is serious." Hinata reprimanded Kiba with a frown on her face. Although her voice didn't raise in volume she was still upset that Kiba would say such a thing. "What I'm right. He's just being a drama queen. It's probably nothing. Nightmares don't give you pain in the real world." The Inuzuka clan heir said in a nonchalant tone.

Hinata frowned more at this but before she could say anything else Kurenai spoke up. "Ok Kiba that's enough. Right now we need to get Mr. Tazuna to the bridge so he can begin working on it again." Kurenai said as she diffused the situation. Kiba hissed his teeth but other than that he said no more. Hinata looked on with a sad look towards Kiba since she didn't really want to fight or argue with him, especially since he's her teammate.

After breakfast everyone left for the bridge. Hinata again felt the urge to stay behind to look after Naruto but she knew it wouldn't be fair to leave her teammates behind especially when they need her. She silently wished for Naruto to get better.


Soon the group reached the bridge and immediately they could tell something was very wrong. A heavy blanket of mist was covering up the bridge and the surrounding area. "I smell blood." Kakashi said as his visible eye narrowed in tension. They could hear a frantic set of footsteps running towards them. Everyone tensed at this. Seconds later a worker came barreling out of the mist with his skin white as chalk. The fear that was present in his eyes couldn't be faked or replicate and he was currently running for his very life. The second his eyes found the group everyone could see a sense or more panic and relief mix into his eyes as he gained an extra burst of speed.

"HELP! You have to help! They killed everybody! Everyone's dead. YOU HAVE TO HEL-!" The man screamed in jumbled up words as he raced to the group of Shinobi only for his life to end right then and there when a kunai impaled him in the base of his skull. The man's forward momentum carried his lifeless body forward and he crashed down dead at the feet of the group with blood spilling onto the concrete.

Most of the Genin looked on in shock or horror while the Jonin narrowed their eyes at the causal dismissal of an innocent life. Tazuna was speechless since this worker was a good friend of his. He couldn't even tear his eyes away from the lifeless corpse at his feet.

"Guys get Tazuna out of here. Clearly it was a mistake to bring him along with us." Kakashi said as he stepped in front of the group. He pulled his headband up revealing the famous Sharingan Eye for all to see. The tome in his eyes were spinning around in a slow hypnotic counter clockwise fashion and his chakra spiked and flared in warning. It also helped that his chakra dispersed the mist around the group so that they could see more than just a few yards away.

"I don't think that would be any fun Kakashi, let the old man stay. That way he can see how futile it was to bring you guys here after I get done killing you all." Zabuza's voice was heard coming from the mist and seconds later the mist parted and it revealed Zabuza all healed up standing about 30 yards away with the same Hidden Mist ANBU agent by his side.

"We won't be dying today Zabuza. Gatō is like a poison and your presence here is nothing more than a nuisance. These people have suffered enough. You're only making it worst." Kakashi spat out as he glared at Zabuza from across the bridge. Zabuza glared back at that remark. "That's quite the little motley crew you brought along to this party. But it doesn't look like those kids really know how to have fun so that's why I invited these guys over here to teach them a thing or two." Zabuza said and like magic the mist which had receded to stand behind his back suddenly vanished and standing behind Zabuza was 20 men. 4 Jonin and 16 Chunin. Each of them were wearing various outfits and uniforms and to top it off they were all sporting headbands form the Hidden Mist and other small villages.

Tazuna looked like he was on the verge of fainting when he saw how many ninjas the enemy had and the Genin all looked shocked to their bones. Even though they knew they were at a disadvantage it didn't help when you could visibly see the prove right in front of you.

"Ami, Kasumi, take Tazuna and run!" Anko commanded as she pulled out some Kunai. "Sakura, go with them. They could use your help." Kakashi added in as he tensed the muscles in his shoulders. "But sensei!" Sakura began to protest but she was cut off by Kakashi. "This isn't the time for that Sakura. Tazuna is out priority. Get him out of here." Kakashi commanded. Wilting Sakura turned to Tazuna who still was having trouble taking his eyes away from the friend he had just lost. As an afterthought since most of the mist was removed from the area they could see the other workers' bodies and they were all killed. None were spared in the obvious massacre. It was taking everything the Genin had not to puke right then and there.

"This is it guys. Stay safe. Fight smart not harder and watch each other's backs." Kakashi said in an encouraging tone. He already had a kunai in his hand and he was as ready as he would ever be. "This isn't like you Zabuza. I thought you worked alone? I didn't know you liked company?" Kakashi conversed as he started up some pre battle banter to psych himself up for the fight to come. He was also using this time to analyze and check out all of the other opponents surrounding them.

"I would prefer to work alone but times change Kakashi, and so do plan's. But I must ask you. Where is your blond haired student? He's the one I really want to fight." Zabuza conversed as he too like any worthy Shinobi took this time to analyze his opponents and size them up.

"He couldn't make it. He had to catch up on some sleep but he sends his regards." Kakashi said as he started to move his muscles and warm up his blood. "I see. That's too bad then. I guess after I kill you I'll go give him a nice wake up call. I'm sure he would appreciate that." Zabuza said as he placed his hand on his giant broadsword. "I'm sure he would but that's only if you can get past me." Kakashi said as he tensed. "With pleasure." Zabuza said menacingly as he blurred out of existence with Kakashi doing the same.

They met each other in the middle of the bridge with a shower of sparks as they traded lightning fast strikes for nearly ten seconds before clashing into a deadlock. "Very good. It would seem like you're not holding back this time. Smart choice." Zabuza stated as he pushed down on Kakashi with his Executioners Blade. "Well what are you guys waiting for? An invitation? Get them." Zabuza bellowed and like the wind the other ninja scatters with the Jōnin making a bee line straight for Anko and Kurenai.

Anko smirked as two Jōnin landed in front of her. "Well hello boys. Here to party?" Anko taunted with her signature grin. Both men looked Anko up and down taking in the shape of her body and they both glanced at each other before smirking at Anko.

Kurenai frowned as the two Jōnin in front of her stood in her way. One was a tall man well over six feet while the other was a short woman barely passed 5 feet tall. Kurenai was never the best at Taijutsu. Her primary abilities lied with Genjutsu which she excelled at. Unknown by many her second affinity was towards Fūinjutsu and she was decent and well versed in it as well. She only fell back on her Taijutsu if she couldn't outright incapacitate her opponent with either her Genjutsu or Fūinjutsu. Her skills in Ninjutsu other than the standard that most shinobi knew was limited and on the lower end of her abilities.

"Well aren't you a pretty thing?" The woman said. Despite being only 5 feet tall the woman had adult like curves and she carried herself far different than a child. "Let's see if she's any good Hun." The man said presumably to his wife or girlfriend.


Suddenly from out of the mist a large fire ball came barreling down at the group of Genin who were surrounding Tazuna.

Hinata, Fuki, and Sasuke were the first to react but somehow Hinata was faster. While Sasuke was making hand signs and Fuki was getting into a stance Hinata broke ranks and stood before everyone. "Eight Trigrams Gentle Step: Aqua Palm!" Hinata called out. Because of her affinity for Water Style Naruto helped her develop her Gentle Fist to incorporate Ninjutsu and elemental attacks into her hand to hand techniques.

This technique Hinata created was inspired by Naruto's Hurricane Fist technique that he often uses whenever he fights her or other combatants who focus more on Taijutsu. Both of Hinata's hands were coated in a thick jet stream of water and she forced her palms forward right into the fireball and it exploded violently into a cloud of hot steam. Hinata's Byakugan was active and the veins around her eyes were bulging and her lavender featureless eyes were suddenly now pronounced with an actual pupil in the center.

Sakura, Ami, and Kasumi were shocked to see Hinata react so quickly or to see the look in her eyes at the moment. They were fierce and intense. Plus, they rarely ever see her with her family's Dōjutsu activated so they were not used to it especially this close up.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke called out as he sent a fire ball right back in the direction of the attack. He could barely see it but he could see a faint shadow move out of range of his fire ball. The Chūnin exited the mist and surrounded the group of Genin and cut off their escape and aid from their Jōnin Sensei's. "Let's take our time boys. These little Genin aren't going anywhere." One of the Chūnin spoke up. He was bald and had scars over his bare chest. He was not that appealing and he didn't stand out too much but it was apparent that he was the defacto leader of the group.

Hinata instantly got into her fighting stance. Fuki and Sasuke followed suit with Kiba bringing up the rear. Shino stayed behind his classmates close to Tazuna so that he could guard them. Sakura was shaking like a leaf since she could feel the overwhelmingly intense killing intent of the shinobi surrounding her and the two other girls from Team 6 were not faring any better. An image of Naruto popped into Sakura's mind and she then thought of how inferior she feels to her mysterious teammate and with that some of her nerves calmed down. She pulled out a kunai and joined Shino in guarding Tazuna. She was determined not to fail this mission.

"I guess I'll go first." Another shinobi said as he threw some shuriken at the group while rushing in behind. Sasuke instantly pulled out his own shuriken and threw them strait at the incoming attack. They collided in midair just as the Chūnin reached the group. Hinata was instantly in his way.

While on the outside she had a fierce and determined look on her face on the inside she was very scared but her adrenaline was pumping gallons into her blood stream and Hinata was remembering all the years in which she trained with Naruto and all the time that they spent together and it helped to clear her mind for the fight to come. However, the pit of anxiety, fear, apprehension, and so much more was still present as she stared into the eyes of her enemy.

He went in for a fast jab to probe Hinata's defenses but he was surprised when Hinata responded with a deflective strike followed up by a lightning quick strike strait to his trapezius muscle group in his shoulder. The man's arm instantly went limp and with a forceful palm strike to the sternum Hinata sent the man tumbling back away from the group.

Some of the Chūnin narrowed their eyes at this while some of the others had a shocked look on their faces. Some of Hinata's classmates also had shocked looks as well. 'She's improved.' Fuki thought with a side glance to Hinata who was near her. 'Was Hinata always this good? I know she could compete with Fuki and Sasuke but that was just in spars. I didn't know she was this strong.' Sakura thought in awe.

Hinata's heart was pounding but she was trying to remain focused.

"Well now this is interesting. It would seem we have a Hyūga as our enemy. I should have known based on her eyes." The bald headed Chūnin said while folding his arms. Tightening up her stance Hinata prepared herself. "Come on boy's these little Genin should be fun to play with." The bald headed Chūnin said with a vicious grin. Shino could be seen in the back of the formation preparing his bugs as they silently crawled out of his sleeves. He was going to play the support role in this. His front line fighting abilities were not up to par. This was something he was determined to change after this.

With that the mob of Chūnin jumped in at the trapped Genin with the bald headed Chūnin making a bee line straight for Hinata.


With Naruto

"I can sense it. Things are getting worst." Jumping onto the bridge Naruto was met with a thick blanket of mist covering up the bridge and everything going on within its depths. Placing a finger on the ground and closing his eyes Naruto concentrated for a few seconds and then he stiffened. Iris and Chaos had just landed behind their father but before they could say anything they saw him slowly stand up. Opening his eyes Naruto's eyes were no longer a bright sky blue color, they had turned to a dark sapphire color that was cold and frozen over. His twin swords of Ice appeared in his hands and his chakra cloak appeared around him in its dazzling multicolor of various blues, oranges, whites, and purples.

Taking off he displaced the air around him and looking at each other for a split second the girls took off with speed they should not have. The looks on their faces were of complete focus and confidence but in their eyes there was a well of hidden power just waiting to be unleashed.


With the Genin

Things were not looking good for the Genin on the bridge. They were trapped and heavily outnumbered. 4 of the Chūnin were down and out for the count. They were out cold and heavily bruised and hurt. The other 12 Chūnin were bruised and cut up but they were still standing. Some of them lower on chakra than others but they were fine. 2 out of the 12 however received more damage than others and they were panting heavily. They were in a standoff with Hinata, Fuki, and Kiba. Shino had his bugs scattered over the remaining Chūnin and was slowly draining their chakra. If he tried to suck up too much at one time they would catch on and discover his bugs and kill them. If that happened one of the very few advantages that they had would be gone.

Sasuke was lured away at the prospect of fighting the Masked ANBU Agent who was spectating all of the fights going on closely. At one point in time he saw an opening and was going to grab Tazuna but Sasuke intercepted the masked shinobi and engaged him in a contest of speed and reflexes. It looked like they were evenly matched but the tables were turned on Sasuke but before anyone could see what happened next they were swallowed up in the mist since Zabuza summoned yet another thick layer using his famed Jutsu.

At the moment Hinata was panting from exhaustion. She barely managed to beat the leader of the Chūnin and she nearly died trying. It was not a proper 1 on 1 fight since they were all fighting in one little area of the bridge and the other Chūnin were jumping in landing a few shots and ducking out of the fight like it was a game of chicken. It might as well have been for them since the older shinobi were laughing at how the Genin were struggling to fight them. Hinata put up a great fight and she managed to take down their leader but knowing this the other Chūnin stuck to more mid and long range techniques to pepper her with and keep her off balance. That tactic proved to be the right choice since it was a mass group fight and the opponent in front of you would only be in your face for a few minutes or seconds before either jumping out of the fight or switch to attacking one of your teammates.

It was a mess and it was pure chaos at the moment. "What now? What do we do?" Kiba grunted. He was sweating and panting and his puppy Akamaru was panting in fatigue. Despite how large the group was the Chūnin showed great team work and coordination. It showed that they were not a random group of missing ninja. It proved that they had some prior knowledge and familiarity among them. Perhaps they all knew each other.

"I don't know Kiba, we are in trouble." Hinata panted. She had to take off her large jacket because she was so sweaty that it was sticking to her clothes and slowing down her movements. The only reason why they didn't take out more or injure their enemy further was because when one would take a serious blow from one of the Genin he would just jump out and let someone else take over the fight. The enemy group were preserving their longevity and prolonging this fight. A fight that the Genin were starting to run low on stamina in.

"Hey Hyūga girl, I got a present for you!" One of the two Chūnin standing in front of the Genin said. He was one of the two that were hurt more than the others. He reached into his pouch and pulled out some pellets before charging in at Hinata with his partner. Throwing the pellets with a lighting fast motion Hinata had no time to move before they exploded in front of her in blinding flash of light. With her Byakugan on Hinata was more sensitive to such attacks but she still tried to search for their chakra signatures so that she could see where they were coming from.

However, Hinata gasped in shock when her entire vision was covered in a thick layer of chakra. She couldn't distinguish anything apart from one another. The pellets released a blanket of chakra into the air that could blind and confuse people with sensitivity to chakra. In this case it blinded Hinata from picking apart different signatures since to her at the moment they all looked the same.

"HINATA LOOK OUT!" Kiba screamed as he raced to her side. The Chūnin were mere feet from Hinata and everyone else including Hinata was blinded by the smoke and light the pellets gave off. "It's over for you girl!" The shinobi yelled.

Hinata couldn't see it but she could feel it coming. Her death was near and she couldn't do anything to stop it. She was to slow, disoriented, and tired. 'Naruto… I'm so sorry.' Hinata thought.

"Kenjutsu: Accelerated Decapitation!"

The smoke was violently dispelled and two bodies sailed past Hinata and hit the ground with a thud. Kiba skidded to a stop wide eyed and slack jawed. Fuki's eyes were wide for a moment before they narrowed at Naruto. Everyone else was stunned into silence including the rest of the Chūnin and Genin squads. As always Naruto's shoulders sagged in sadness whenever he did what he had to do but just as quickly as that moment of sadness came it passed and Naruto turned to face Hinata with a small smile on his face.

"Hey Hinata, you ok?" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head with his cheesy grin. "Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed. "You're ok?" Hinata asked happily. "Yeah no nightmare can keep me down. Here." Naruto said as he showed Hinata his hand and a small clump of gold dust was in his palm. "Rub this on your eyes with some water. Your vision should clear immediately." Naruto said as he poured the dust into Hinata's waiting hand. "But this would help as well." Naruto muttered as he flared his chakra and dispelled the chakra cloud the pellets made earlier.

"Naruto?" Kiba muttered as he looked at his classmate and rival in shock. "Hey dog breath. Looks like you've had a tough time. But I can tell you did a good job." Naruto complimented and insulted the Inuzuka clan member at the same time. While he was not Kiba's friend and he really didn't like him all that much he never started the fights between them. He would be as polite as possible towards the boy for the most part, but he would admit that he does insult him quite a few times. They haven't had an argument yet since his team came and Naruto was grateful for that.

Naruto's eyes panned over to one of the downed Chūnin and his body and clothes were all shredded up and Naruto instantly knew that was the work of Kiba and Akamaru. While he didn't like Kiba much, Naruto had a lot of respect for the boy because in all honesty Kiba was a great fighter and his Taijutsu was so unique and powerful that it easily allowed him to compete and stay at the top of the class with the others. His fighting instincts were something Naruto respected and appreciated a lot.

'Naruto. This look in his eyes. Is he going to get serious? There's something different about him now.' Sakura observed her teammate with awe. She was deliberately keeping her eyes away from the two bodies behind Hinata but she knew that this was inevitable that someone was going to die.

'So this is what it looks like when Naruto is serious? Interesting.' Shino thought as he looked at his friend while fixing his glasses.

"Naruto are you finally ready?" Hinata asked with uncertainty in her voice. She could see the look in his eyes. They were more confident than she could ever remember. She could see a weight lifted off his shoulders and he looked like he was ready to truly reveal himself. She could see it all in his eyes. He was standing tall and there was a fire in his eyes. Naruto was ready.

"Yeah. I'm done hiding… no we're done hiding." Naruto said with a small comforting smile. Confusion bloomed in Hinata's eyes. "We?"

"Stay safe Hinata, guys just sit back and rest. You've done enough." Naruto said and with a smile he started to glow blue. Hinata's eyes widened at this. 'Acceleration.'

"Who the hell is this guy?" One Chūnin said with the others agreeing. They were getting restless and after seeing two of their own taken down like that they were itching for blood. "Get him!" Another said and all ten Chūnin charged at Naruto. They all noticed that a blue aura started to surround Naruto but it was too late they were already committed to their charge.

"Sorry guys but I'm not your opponent." Naruto said and with that he shot off in a burst of speed.

"We are!" A voice of a young girl shouted from above. Everyone looked up at this and they saw two small figures land on the bridge in front of them. It was too late to stop running forward. All ten Chūnin ran straight into a light blue hexagonal patterned dome and they hit it hard. One man even broke his nose because he smacked into the shield too hard.

A large gust of wind from out of nowhere circulated around the group of Genin and suddenly the group of Chūnin were all picked off their feet and sent flying to the other side of the bridge. The wind also blew away the mist surrounding their section of the bridge allowing everyone to see what happened.

Two little girls.

The first one had short shoulder length rich blond hair that was naturally wavy and curly at the tips. She had long bangs but they were being kept up by a very large pink bow tied in her hair. She had crystal clear baby blue eyes that were oozing with confidence, strength, comfort, amusement, and mischief. Small lips and a button nose complimented her looks. She was wearing a golden yellow dress with pale yellow frills and laces adorning the dress in ways to make it fashionable. The dress had three layers of frills at the bottom which came down to her knees. She had white socks on and comfortable golden shoes that perfectly matched her dress. Slung over her shoulder was a small black strap that had a small teddy bear head attached to it. It was actually a purse. To finish off her look she had a large brown teddy bear with a green collar around its neck in her arms and she had it hugged to her chest.

The second one had long knee length pale blond hair that was naturally straight but stopped at different lengths down at the tips. She had thick long bangs that fell down over her forehead and partially into her eyes. She had large slanted lazy purple eyes that was overflowing with mischief, amusement, playfulness, aloofness, and a hidden well of insanity. Small lips and a button nose complimented her looks. She was wearing a black crop top shirt that exposed her neck which had a black collar around it with a small link of chains attached to it. It also exposed her belly button but not much else. She was also wearing black shorts with silver studs and little chains attached to it with a small skirt over it that had a polka dot theme to it. Oddly enough she wasn't wearing any socks or shoes at all. Instead she was barefooted. But what set her apart was the fact she had an eerie smile on her face that contrasted her sisters whose was confident and gentle.

Two six year olds just sent ten Chūnin flying. No one could seem to recover the ability to think properly. "Girls!" Hinata exclaimed in shock. Never in a million years would she have expected Naruto pull such a stunt. "Hey Hina, you look like you could use a bath." Chaos said with a giggle. Hinata was covered in scrapes and bruises and her clothes were covered in dirt and mud from stray earth style Ninjutsu. "Just sit back and relax all of you. We'll take it from here ok." Iris spoke up and her voice was rich and elegant and every syllable that came out of her mouth flowed like silk. It instantly had everyone around her transfixed and mesmerized.

'Who are these girls?' This was the universal thought running through everyone's minds but they all voiced it differently.

At this point the enemy Chūnin was getting back to their feet. Stepping forward both Iris and Chaos stood before the ten grown men. "Hey, hey! Iris! Iris! Can I get those 5 ugly ones over there!?" Chaos chanted excitingly as she bounced up and down in barely contained excitement. "Yes Chaos and I'll take these 5 gentlemen over here." Iris said as she addressed five of the men. Stepping forward Iris grabbed her dress and pulled one leg behind the other before bowing in the most elegant way possible. The whole motion was fluent and elegant.

"Hello my name is Iris Uzumaki." Iris said shocking all of the Genin including Tazuna into silence except for Hinata but she was still shocked to see the twins here. "Would you young gentlemen here be so kind as to treat a lady like myself to a dance?" Iris said with her eyes starting to turn emerald green. Her gentle smile turned from kind to mocking and arrogant. She was purposefully acting like this to rile up the shinobi further.

"Hey guys my name is Chaos Uzumaki and we're going to have so much fun playing together. I'm going to teach you all about love." Chaos said as her smile turned into something a little six-year-old shouldn't have.

At this point both Iris and Chaos's eyes turned emerald green and ruby red respectively and a barely restrained fountain of power was saturating the air and it was originating from the twins.

"Let's go."

And the battle began.

Jutsu Library

1.) Eight Trigrams Gentle Step: Aqua Palm - A technique that Hinata created that his based off the principles behind Naruto's Wind Style: Hurricane Fist Jutsu. With this technique Hinata can create jets of water on her palms and attack opponents using the Gentle Fist Fighting Style. Because the water has built up a lot of pressure Hinata can also forcefully push opponents back and stop Fire Style Ninjutsu by thrusting her palms forward into the attack. Hinata can also use the technique in a more subtle or domesticated manner instead of an all out attack. She can use it simply to wash off someones face or wound and other simple applications.

2.) Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu - The Hallmark Jutsu of the Land of Fire and the Hidden leaf Village and founded by the famous Uchiha Clan the Fire ball Jutsu is the go to fire style Jutsu as well as a right of passage in the Uchiha clan. The Jutsu spews forth a fire ball from the mouth of the user and the size of the technique is depended on the amount of Chakra used by the user. The Jutsu is the gateway Jutsu to many other advanced and powerful fire style Jutsu.

3.) Kenjutsu: Accelerated Decapitation - Coating himself in his Accel Cloak Naruto who has a sword or bladed weapon in his hands {It can be a real weapon or one created from his Ice Style} disappears in a burst of speed granted to him by his Accel Turn and swiftly decapitates his target in one fluid and quick motion. The victim will have no time to react since this technique is used at point black range and it is used during the element of surprise which will catch the opponent off guard.


Author's Note (A/N): Well guys there you go. That's Chapter 19 for you. I hope you all enjoyed it. So now the moment I'm sure everyone's been waiting for. Iris and Chaos are going to finally have their first fight. I've thought for quite some time on their own styles of combat that Naruto has helped them create and while it wont be completely apparent in the next chapter as time goes on I'll expand and explore it in more depth. Also it would seem Naruto is taking off the kiddy gloves and he's now ready to show his true self. A lot is going to be happening in the next few chapters so I hope you guys stick around.

Thanks for the support and a review would be nice. It would really help me connect with you guys better.


That's the end of Chapter 19 I sincerely hoped you enjoyed it.
