===========================================
*Hospital Room*
Kakashi had explained a bit more why Hokage had made such a decision, as he avoided the question Sasuke wanted to ask him most, about Naruto's other self.
"I won't like having Anbu around me" Sasuke said
"I know, but this is for the best. This demon seems to attack those closer to Naruto. You could be the next on it's list for all we know." Kakashi commented
"Unlike Sakura and Iruka, I'm not weak and know how to defend myself." Sasuke mentioned
"I'm aware of that just as much as Hokage-sama, but we are only making sure, besides I doubt you'll leave Naruto alone for a while anyway" Kakashi let out
"What's that suppose to mean!?" Sasuke asked as he raised his voice a little
"I'm your teacher, so I know what goes on most of the time. So I suppose I should prepare an extra bed for you as well." Kakashi stated with a smile
Sasuke was a bit shocked by his sensei's words, but regained control over himself, as he shoved his hands back in his pockets and prepared to leave the room.
"Fine, but I'm only doing this because Naruto would freak out staying at your house with one pervert and one wounded man unable to protect him." Sasuke commented as he walked out of the room
"Always trying to be neutral ........." Kakashi thought when they heard a scream
"NARUTO!" The female voice yelled out
Sasuke stopped in his tracks, as Kakashi focused on the voice itself. Both looked at each other with worry.
"That's Sakura........." Sasuke let out
Kakashi and Sasuke rushed to Iruka's room.
============================================================================ ======================
*An Unknown Hidden Village.........*
The light wounded ninja that Takai had left alive, managed to return to his camp site, to report back to his leader.
The ninja rushed in the chambers of the leader, and immediately kneeled.
"My lord!" The ninja started
The leader turned around, as he discarded the three brother, Tonai, Toshin and Tenshi of the Ryuzan Clan. They had been informed of their next mission, but were punished due to their failure.
"What is it now!?" The leader asked in an angry tone
"It's that thing, Takai, he killed the one who accompanied me. Is it safe for him to remain alive?" The ninja asked
"Although he doesn't follow orders, he's word is enough, but do keep a close eye on him. If he tried to kill what we seek, kill it" The leader ordered
"Hai" The ninja vanished as the leader was now alone in his chamber
The leader picked up a glass of red wine and took a few sips of it.
"It would be a disaster if those two were to battle again......... Kyubi and Takai" The leader let out as he took another drink
============================================================================ ======================
*Iruka's Hospital Room*
Sasuke and Kakashi barged in as the door practically flew open, to reveal a sight they didn't want to see.
The bed stood between the true scene, as only a tuff of blond hair could be seen as well as Iruka's head. Sakura stood there, frozen by what just happened.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked
"I'll tell you later, both of you help me place him on my bed." Iruka ordered the two males
Kakashi and Sasuke moved quickly as they carefully lifted the blond up to place him on Iruka's bed. Sasuke stayed very close to the blond, as Iruka and Kakashi stood on the other side of the bed, near the door. Sakura remained at the end of the bed only to observe.
"Iruka, what happened?" Kakashi asked
"He started to talk to himself..." Iruka started
This remark immediately caught everyone's eyes in the room.
Kakashi and Sasuke exchanged looks, as they remember how Naruto talked to himself when he first blacked out in the Hokage's room.
"Kakashi-sensei ......... I ......... I don't know if this helps ......... But, he seemed in a trance or something and then when I looked at him, his eye color changed........." Sakura informed her sensei
"What color" Kakashi asked with a serious tone
"Red.........Just like blood........." Sakura answered with a weak voice
It was now Iruka and Kakashi's turn to exchange worried looks, when Naruto mumbled something with a very low voice.
"What did he say?" Iruka asked
Sasuke leaned closer to the blond, as his ear was barely a few centimeters away from the Naruto's lips.
"Hinata ......... Run ......... Before Takai........." Naruto weakly let out
"He keeps saying Hinata to run before Takai something, I can't make out the rest." Sasuke repeated more clearly to the two senseis
Iruka and Kakashi's eyes widened as well as their body stiffened upon hearing the name Takai.
"Is there anything else that happened before he collapsed?" Kakashi asked
"He pointed towards the training ground" Iruka answered
"Watch over Naruto until I return, as a precaution, I'd like you to all stay here until I return." Kakashi ordered his students and Iruka
"What's going on Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked
"Sasuke can explain some things to you, just stay with Naruto until I return" Kakashi repeated as he vanished form the room
"What did he mean Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as she turned to face him
Iruka took a chair and brought it as close as possible to the bed, as he then sat in it, and held the hand of his former student.
Sasuke stepped away from the bed, as he looked at Sakura and Iruka.
"When Hokage asked us at his place, Naruto collapsed there for the first time. But he talked while he was unconscious. We later on found out that he probably saw everything that was happening to you Iruka. He's the one who led Kakashi-sensei and me to you at the academy." Sasuke explained
"Are you saying that he's connected to that thing that almost killed Iruka- sensei?" Sakura asked in shock
"Sakura, you're being annoying." Sasuke replied with a cold tone
Iruka saw that Sasuke was worried about the blond and was tired of answering all the questions and so he stepped in.
"Sakura, would you get the doctor in here for me please?" Iruka asked his former student with a small smile
Sakura wanted to speak but no words came out, so she simply nodded before she left the room in search of a doctor.
With only Sasuke and Iruka left in the room to stay by Naruto's side, Iruka let out a deep breath and watched over the two boys.
"You really care about him don't you?" Iruka asked with a soft voice
Sasuke was caught off guard by the question, as he grabbed a chair as well and pulled it closer to Naruto's side and stayed silent.
============================================================================ ======================
*Inside Naruto*
Naruto laid on the ground, his back against the floor, his eyes barely opened. He had no strength, so he couldn't move but he was well aware that he was near Kyubi's cage.
"Come back so early already?" The fox teased
"What's going on?" Naruto asked with a low voice
"Takai found his meal for the day........." Kyubi replied as he kept a close eye on the blond
"Who?" Naruto asked weakly
"Open your eyes and you will see" Kyubi commented
A blurry image of a young girl, short black hair and silver-like eyes.
"Hinata........." Naruto immediately noticed
============================================================================ ======================
*Hopsital Bedroom*
A long silence came in the room, as Sasuke simply paid attention to his blond, as Iruka was both worried and a little happy to see that Naruto now, had someone else that cared about him.
Naruto's hands moved a little, as both males watched closely the hands.
"Hinata........." Naruto whispered
Naruto had slowly begun opening his eyes, as Iruka and Sasuke were pleased that the blond was out of consciousness, until they both froze in place.
"Naruto.........?" Iruka let out as he placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder
"What's wrong with his eyes?" Sasuke asked with a worried expression
Iruka looked carefully into the eyes of Naruto, they were pitch black, with a dot in the middle that resembled the color of blood.
"It's like he's not in there........." Sasuke let out as he couldn't take his eyes away from those of Naruto's
============================================================================ ======================
*Training Grounds*
The demon jumped off the branch as he landed on the ground without making any sound. He slowly made his way towards the Hyuga girl, as he no longer hid behind the trees.
Hinata stopped punching the log, as she somewhat felt observed. She slowly turned around, as the first thing she saw were black eyes with a powerful glowing red dot staring right back in her face.
"You shouldn't be alone in the forest" The demon commented as he brought his face closer to smell the girl
"I.........I.........I always arrive earlier.........Than the others........." Hinata mumbled as she began playing with her fingers
The demon slowly took steps towards Hinata, as all she could do, was take steps back, until her back reached the log she practiced on.
Her eyes widened, as she was very afraid, somehow she could sense that this boy before her, wasn't normal. Her eyes avoided any contact with him, as her legs started to shake.
"Did you know that there's a demon on the loose?" The demon asked as he gently stroke her hair with his clawed fingers
"Don't........." Hinata started as she closed her eyes shut and her entire body now trembled in fear
"Your skin is very delicate........." The demon continued, as he slid his fingers on her cheeks
Hinata continued to tremble, as the demon simply smiled to see how his prey would be so easy to play with and kill off. As he prepared to wrap his hand around her delicate neck, the demon stopped any movement as he leaned his head towards his right side.
"Damn them for ruining my fun, but then again I haven't gotten to my real meal yet........." The demon told himself as he returned his gaze on the girl
The demon returned to his original position, as he stuck out his tongue and slowly licked Hinata's neck before placing it back in his mouth. He took a few steps back, before vanishing once more in the trees.
"Yo Hinanata!" A familiar voice called out to her
"Kiba-kun?" Hinata thought
Hinata gathered what courage she had and slowly opened her eyes to see that the boy that stood before her minutes ago had simply vanished. She turned slightly to the left to see Kiba, Shino, Akamaru and their sensei Kurenai arrive on the grounds.
"Hinata, you look paler than usual" Kurenai commented as she looked a little worried
Hinata simply let her body lean against the trunk, as it slid down to the ground. Kiba was the first to react, as he grabbed her by the arm to slow down her fall to the ground, as Akamaru jumped into her arms in hopes to comfort her.
"Hinata what's wrong?" Kurenai asked as she began to worry
"Didn't......Didn't you.........Didn't you see him?" Hinata managed to ask as her entire body still shook
"See what?" Kiba asked a bit worried
"That.........That boy........." Hinata answered
---POOF---
Smoke appeared near them, as an Anbu squad composed of 3 came to sight accompanied by Kakashi.
"Kakashi, why are you here with Anbu?" Kurenai asked
"We obtained information that whatever attacked Iruka-sensei was here earlier" Kakashi explained himself
"You're not serious are you?" Kurenai asked
"I'm dead serious." Kakashi replied with a serious tone
The Anbu then glanced over the Hyuga girl that seemed in shock over something they hadn't come to know yet. As the Anbu prepare to walk towards the girl, Kakashi blocks their passage with his arm.
"Did something happen to Hinata-chan?" Kakashi asked
"It seems that an unknown boy was with her minutes ago, but we never felt another presence with her while we were coming." Kurenai explained
Kiba helped Hinata back to her feet, as she held Akamaru within her arms. Kakashi stepped closer to the girl, as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder to reassure her.
"Any bit of information would be helpful" Kakashi commented with a soft voice
"It.........It had black eyes.........With glowing red dots.........It didn't seem human........." Hinata informed, as Akamaru looked up at her with sad eyes
Kakashi saw how shocked the girl was, as he removed his hand form her shoulder and gave a look at Kurenai.
"With what happened today, I'll cancel training. Kiba, Shino, I'd like for you two to accompany Hinata back to the Hyuga Household." Kurenai ordered her two students
Hinata wanted to objects, since she didn't like getting all the attention, BUT Shino simply placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and looked at her through his glasses.
"Hinata, you're our teammate" Shino told her as he walked ahead
Hinata let out a small smile as she soon trailed behind Shino, still holding Akamaru in her arms. Kiba was left behind as he made a very angry face.
"Always acting so cool in front of everybody!" Kiba thought as he clenched his fists
"Kiba, get going already" Kurenai reminded the boy
Kiba simply growled, as he ran after his two teammates. Kurenai and Kakashi looked at each other, as the Anbu wondered what they should now do.
"You really think that whatever was here with Hinata was the demon that almost killed Iruka?" Kurenai asked
"Hai" Kakashi replied
"Kakashi-san, Kurenai-san, please return to Hokage, we will scout the surroundings." The Anbu leader requested of the two Jounins
Both nodded as the Anbu vanished to begin their search.
"Kakashi, how did you know?" Kurenai asked
"It wasn't me, Naruto was the one who gave me the clues" Kakashi answered
"Naruto? How could he possibly........." Kurenai started but Kakashi interrupted
"Kurenai, I'd rather you kept this quiet. So far the only people who know are Hokage-sama, myself, Iruka-sensei, Naruto and Sasuke. As much as I would give you information, even we don't know what's really going on. All we know is that so called demon, wants the power that Naruto has within him." Kakashi explained clearly
"You don't mean the ........." Kurenai trailed off
"Hai........." Kakashi replied
"Konoha doesn't need another war" Kurenai let out a thought
"Hokage-sama agrees, but for the moment I have to return to the hospital to ensure their safety. I'd be best if no one would venture alone until we have more information" Kakashi mentioned
"Agreed, I'll spread out the word." Kurenai
Kurenai moved her hand quickly as the wind gathered around her and she vanished form the grounds.
Kakashi let out a deep breath, as he took one last look at the trees surrounding him, before he returns to the hospital as well.
From high above in the trees, the eyes of the demon glowed, as himself, disappeared into the shadows.
============================================================================ ======================
*Inside Naruto*
Naruto managed to sit up, as he turned around to face the fox that stood behind the bars of his cage.
"Thank god Hinata's safe" Naruto let out in relief
"Things only started brat" The fox let out
"Hey, if you know that bastard that keeps trying to kill those close to me you better tell me all you know or else" Naruto warned the fox
The fox gave a deadly glare at the blond.
"When the time comes, you will know of it, for now, you should return to that arrogant bastard" The fox replied as his red chakra started to consume the boy
"Hey we're not finished here!" Naruto yelled out
Even if Naruto struggled, Kyubi was determined to not talk about the matter right away, and so Naruto had no other choice but to regain consciousness in the real world.
============================================================================ ======================
*Hospital Room*
Naruto's eye color changed back to it's normal baby blue eyes, as his hand took hold of something near it.
"Stupid fox........." Naruto let out
"Dobe?" Sasuke spoke as he leaned closer to naruto
"Sasuke, could you please stop calling him that?" Iruka asked with a little smile
"How dare you call me dobe! You bastard!" Naruto yelled out as he sat up on the bed quickly
"Welcome back, Naruto" Iruka spoke to the boy as he placed his unwounded hand on Naruto's shoulder
"What happened?" Naruto asked a bit confused
"You forgot? You collapsed and talked about Hinata, training grounds, and something called a Takai." Sasuke informed the blond
"Hinata's fine, thanks to dog boy and Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto stated
Iruka and Sasuke looked at each other confused, as Iruka then rubbed his forehead before letting out a sigh.
"Look Naruto, it's been a hard day on everyone. How about you just grab your things and get ready, we'll head for Kakashi's place, unless you want to stay ........." Iruka started as the blond cut him off
"Hell no! I hate hospitals. When can we go?" Naruto asked
"Well, we'll wait till Kakashi comes back here, as well as Sakura. Then we'll go get Sasuke's things and ........." Iruka started as Sasuke cut him off this time
"I'll go get my things or else we'll wait a long time before Kakashi comes back." Sasuke commented
"You can't leave alone Sasuke, not while that thing is still on the lose" Iruka informed the boy
"Iruka-sensei's right! I don't want anything to happened to you........." Naruto mumbled
"Baka, I won't be alone, besides, I have an Anbu squat with me the moment I step outside." Sasuke reassured them
"Is that true?" Naruto turned to his teacher to have an answer
"Hai, for the safety of all of you, an Anbu team follows all three of you closely." Iruka informed the blond
"So you see, I don't risk anything, besides I need to get some new clothes. Before we head towards Kakashi's place" Sasuke mentioned
"Hurry up and get back here Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out
"Tell Kakashi-sensei it won't take long, I'll be back within the next hour at most. I'll join you at his place." Sasuke said before he started to leave the room
"Be careful then" Iruka warned his former student
Sasuke looked back before opening the door, let out a small smile.
"I'm not that dobe" Sasuke commented as he left the room
"Why.........Why you arrogant bastard!" Naruto yelled out almost jumping out of the bed
Iruka quickly reacted, as he managed to calm Naruto down. Naruto crossed his arms and legs, as the boy pouted on the bed. Iruka couldn't help but pat the boy's head and smiled.
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House* ---15 minutes later---
Sasuke unlocked his door, as he walked inside the house with only one purpose, to grab a few things to take over at Kakashi's place. The usual coldness appeared the moment he stepped into it. Everything was dark, as he prepared to light up the room so he wouldn't trip on something.
As he made his way towards the switch, he heard a few cracking sounds in the living room. Instinctively, he grabbed a few kunais and immediately shot them into the darkness where the sound came from.
He stood there for a few minutes, in his fighting stance, sicne he had not heard his kunais hit anything, which wasn't normal.
The next thing he noticed, was the kunais coming back in his direction. He reached within his holster to grab another one, as he blocked everyone of them.
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile

Hinata gathered what courage she had and slowly opened her eyes to see that the boy that stood before her minutes ago had simply vanished. She turned slightly to the left to see Kiba, Shino, Akamaru and their sensei Kurenai arrive on the grounds.
"Hinata, you look paler than usual" Kurenai commented as she looked a little worried
Hinata simply let her body lean against the trunk, as it slid down to the ground. Kiba was the first to react, as he grabbed her by the arm to slow down her fall to the ground, as Akamaru jumped into her arms in hopes to comfort her.
"Hinata what's wrong?" Kurenai asked as she began to worry
"Didn't......Didn't you.........Didn't you see him?" Hinata managed to ask as her entire body still shook
"See what?" Kiba asked a bit worried
"That.........That boy........." Hinata answered
---POOF---
Smoke appeared near them, as an Anbu squad composed of 3 came to sight accompanied by Kakashi.
"Kakashi, why are you here with Anbu?" Kurenai asked
"We obtained information that whatever attacked Iruka-sensei was here earlier" Kakashi explained himself
"You're not serious are you?" Kurenai asked
"I'm dead serious." Kakashi replied with a serious tone
The Anbu then glanced over the Hyuga girl that seemed in shock over something they hadn't come to know yet. As the Anbu prepare to walk towards the girl, Kakashi blocks their passage with his arm.
"Did something happen to Hinata-chan?" Kakashi asked
"It seems that an unknown boy was with her minutes ago, but we never felt another presence with her while we were coming." Kurenai explained
Kiba helped Hinata back to her feet, as she held Akamaru within her arms. Kakashi stepped closer to the girl, as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder to reassure her.
"Any bit of information would be helpful" Kakashi commented with a soft voice
"It.........It had black eyes.........With glowing red dots.........It didn't seem human........." Hinata informed, as Akamaru looked up at her with sad eyes
Kakashi saw how shocked the girl was, as he removed his hand form her shoulder and gave a look at Kurenai.
"With what happened today, I'll cancel training. Kiba, Shino, I'd like for you two to accompany Hinata back to the Hyuga Household." Kurenai ordered her two students
Hinata wanted to objects, since she didn't like getting all the attention, BUT Shino simply placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and looked at her through his glasses.
"Hinata, you're our teammate" Shino told her as he walked ahead
Hinata let out a small smile as she soon trailed behind Shino, still holding Akamaru in her arms. Kiba was left behind as he made a very angry face.
"Always acting so cool in front of everybody!" Kiba thought as he clenched his fists
"Kiba, get going already" Kurenai reminded the boy
Kiba simply growled, as he ran after his two teammates. Kurenai and Kakashi looked at each other, as the Anbu wondered what they should now do.
"You really think that whatever was here with Hinata was the demon that almost killed Iruka?" Kurenai asked
"Hai" Kakashi replied
"Kakashi-san, Kurenai-san, please return to Hokage, we will scout the surroundings." The Anbu leader requested of the two Jounins
Both nodded as the Anbu vanished to begin their search.
"Kakashi, how did you know?" Kurenai asked
"It wasn't me, Naruto was the one who gave me the clues" Kakashi answered
"Naruto? How could he possibly........." Kurenai started but Kakashi interrupted
"Kurenai, I'd rather you kept this quiet. So far the only people who know are Hokage-sama, myself, Iruka-sensei, Naruto and Sasuke. As much as I would give you information, even we don't know what's really going on. All we know is that so called demon, wants the power that Naruto has within him." Kakashi explained clearly
"You don't mean the ........." Kurenai trailed off
"Hai........." Kakashi replied
"Konoha doesn't need another war" Kurenai let out a thought
"Hokage-sama agrees, but for the moment I have to return to the hospital to ensure their safety. I'd be best if no one would venture alone until we have more information" Kakashi mentioned
"Agreed, I'll spread out the word." Kurenai
Kurenai moved her hand quickly as the wind gathered around her and she vanished form the grounds.
Kakashi let out a deep breath, as he took one last look at the trees surrounding him, before he returns to the hospital as well.
From high above in the trees, the eyes of the demon glowed, as himself, disappeared into the shadows.
============================================================================ ======================
*Inside Naruto*
Naruto managed to sit up, as he turned around to face the fox that stood behind the bars of his cage.
"Thank god Hinata's safe" Naruto let out in relief
"Things only started brat" The fox let out
"Hey, if you know that bastard that keeps trying to kill those close to me you better tell me all you know or else" Naruto warned the fox
The fox gave a deadly glare at the blond.
"When the time comes, you will know of it, for now, you should return to that arrogant bastard" The fox replied as his red chakra started to consume the boy
"Hey we're not finished here!" Naruto yelled out
Even if Naruto struggled, Kyubi was determined to not talk about the matter right away, and so Naruto had no other choice but to regain consciousness in the real world.
============================================================================ ======================
*Hospital Room*
Naruto's eye color changed back to it's normal baby blue eyes, as his hand took hold of something near it.
"Stupid fox........." Naruto let out
"Dobe?" Sasuke spoke as he leaned closer to naruto
"Sasuke, could you please stop calling him that?" Iruka asked with a little smile
"How dare you call me dobe! You bastard!" Naruto yelled out as he sat up on the bed quickly
"Welcome back, Naruto" Iruka spoke to the boy as he placed his unwounded hand on Naruto's shoulder
"What happened?" Naruto asked a bit confused
"You forgot? You collapsed and talked about Hinata, training grounds, and something called a Takai." Sasuke informed the blond
"Hinata's fine, thanks to dog boy and Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto stated
Iruka and Sasuke looked at each other confused, as Iruka then rubbed his forehead before letting out a sigh.
"Look Naruto, it's been a hard day on everyone. How about you just grab your things and get ready, we'll head for Kakashi's place, unless you want to stay ........." Iruka started as the blond cut him off
"Hell no! I hate hospitals. When can we go?" Naruto asked
"Well, we'll wait till Kakashi comes back here, as well as Sakura. Then we'll go get Sasuke's things and ........." Iruka started as Sasuke cut him off this time
"I'll go get my things or else we'll wait a long time before Kakashi comes back." Sasuke commented
"You can't leave alone Sasuke, not while that thing is still on the lose" Iruka informed the boy
"Iruka-sensei's right! I don't want anything to happened to you........." Naruto mumbled
"Baka, I won't be alone, besides, I have an Anbu squat with me the moment I step outside." Sasuke reassured them
"Is that true?" Naruto turned to his teacher to have an answer
"Hai, for the safety of all of you, an Anbu team follows all three of you closely." Iruka informed the blond
"So you see, I don't risk anything, besides I need to get some new clothes. Before we head towards Kakashi's place" Sasuke mentioned
"Hurry up and get back here Sasuke!" Naruto yelled out
"Tell Kakashi-sensei it won't take long, I'll be back within the next hour at most. I'll join you at his place." Sasuke said before he started to leave the room
"Be careful then" Iruka warned his former student
Sasuke looked back before opening the door, let out a small smile.
"I'm not that dobe" Sasuke commented as he left the room
"Why.........Why you arrogant bastard!" Naruto yelled out almost jumping out of the bed
Iruka quickly reacted, as he managed to calm Naruto down. Naruto crossed his arms and legs, as the boy pouted on the bed. Iruka couldn't help but pat the boy's head and smiled.
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House* ---15 minutes later---
Sasuke unlocked his door, as he walked inside the house with only one purpose, to grab a few things to take over at Kakashi's place. The usual coldness appeared the moment he stepped into it. Everything was dark, as he prepared to light up the room so he wouldn't trip on something.
As he made his way towards the switch, he heard a few cracking sounds in the living room. Instinctively, he grabbed a few kunais and immediately shot them into the darkness where the sound came from.
He stood there for a few minutes, in his fighting stance, sicne he had not heard his kunais hit anything, which wasn't normal.
The next thing he noticed, was the kunais coming back in his direction. He reached within his holster to grab another one, as he blocked everyone of them.
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile
