chapiter 12: first attack, scattering

Itachi had gone right into the Hyuga house, right on Hanabi, then as soon as the young girl had seen him, he had made half-turn and had gone out. Hanabi had followed him in spite of the warning of Neji, which was here with Tenten. For Hanabi, Itachi was the key leading to her sister. The young couple had followed Hanabi, knowing that they couldn't stop her, but that they could at least protect her.

Tenten, Hanabi and Neji had followed Itachi in the forest, then had abruptly lost him. By examining the surroundings quickly, Hanabi had seen Hinata attacked by Sasuke. She had sprung to protect her, but Tenten had caught her and pushed to the ground. Then Tenten had run in front of Hinata drawing Neji behind her. With the signal of Tenten, Neji had used his technique of defense. Not knowing neither who he defended, nor against who.

Hinata:"Neji... Tenten..."
//So, I defended Hinata? But what do Tenten think??// Neji thinks.
Sasuke: "Move"
// I defended her against Sasuke..., bad situation //
Even without seeing the face of the young Uchiwa, Neji could feel his hatred and his anger in his voice.
//Itachi is a crafty one... He has involved Hanabi to defend Hinata here... Kiba and Shino only are missing...if they were here, and everyone would be against Sasuke...//

"NO!" Hanabi too comes in front of her older sister and deal with Sasuke." I will not let you hurt my sister!"

Sasuke looks at her and Hanabi feels a ball of terror to bind in her stomach
//... He's insane, completely insane ... //
Sudddenly, He's on her and violently strikes first once at the head, then at the belly. A ball of fire runs up against Tenten and sends her fly a little further. Hinata catches Hanabi while Neji interposes and she jumps further. The speed of action of Sasuke is alarming.
sasuke: "You want REALLY stop me? you don't have the power to do it!"

Naruto thoughtless and burned by the explosion of the clone is raised painfully, and recognize a familiar situation...
Naruto: "HINATA! JUMP!!!!! AN EARTH JUTSU !!"
Under the feet of Hinata the ground split and exploded, sending needles of rocks and dust in all the clearing. The real Sasuke, which was hidden under the ground to do this justu, go out of earth with an insane smile: "Then you also, you protect the criminals?" Kakashi and Kurenai, who had deviated the power of the juste, so that it avoids Hinata and Hanabi, look at him calmly.
Kurenai: "Do you try to kill Hanabi, the heiress of Hyuga?"
Sasuke: "I don't have anything to do with her, as long as she don't bother me. Let me Hinata."
Kakashi turn over to look at the two Hyuga girls.
Kakashi: "Hm, you know, Sasuke, she already left."
The illusion dissipates, revealing Hanabi alone on the ground, coughing because of dust.
The ninjas present in the clearing turns in all side to seek the other girl, but don't find anything.
Kakashi: "remarkable..."

Other Chuunin arrive on the place, as well as the brigade of Hunter-Nin, but Hinata and Itachi literally volitilized. Tenten and Neji leave to accompany back Hanabi at home. Naruto returns too. Only Sasuke remains in the clearing, retained by Kakashi which sermonizes him.

Hanabi smiles on the way of the return. She saw her sister, even if she didn't speak to her, she's happy to have seen her a short moment, to have felt her arms around her which protected her, to have help her against Sasuke. Perhaps, there will be other meetings in the future ... She perhaps will be able to speak together...

Naruto is lost, he don't know what to do. He choses to help Hinata rather than sasuke, He betrayed him.... But why sasuke wants to kill Hinata? Naruto walks lost in his thoughts.

Sasuke returns at his home walking with anger. Everyone is against him, even the jounins, even the hokage, even Naruto! Everyone protects Hinata and Itachi!! While Sasuke thinks about the idea to leaves the village and to devotes his life to track them, He doesn't feel his chakra which escapes drop by drop from his body, by one of the points that Hinata succeeded in reaching at the time of their combat.

=============================

How ?? still a chapter ?? but it's your day of chance!
