Here goes the next chapter, it's not that good but I hope you like it...
--------------:O:--------------
(Oh...God save us...this is what I call bad luck...I couldn't even find ONE eatable thing........I hope the guys did better than me....)- Kurenai thought as she walked her way back to the tents.
She kept walking into the silent forest, trying to locate exactly were the place were they had camped was, but something just wasn't the same, until......-What the....?!-She gasped, as she looked at her surroundings, the tents were gone, meaning there was only the pieces of fabric laying there, there was blood on the ground, followed by a bunch of men dead or simply knocked out along with all kinds of weapons just thrown around......
-What in the world happened here?! - Oh no! Hinata! Naruto!
Kurenai ran, and looked desperately for were the two chuunins could be, but there was just no trace from any of them.
-So, as I was saying...I took advantage that my mom wasn't home and I.....- Kiba stopped on the middle of his conversation with the quiet Shino, just to stare at his messy and destroyed surroundings. - Man! What the hell happened in there! - He pointed to were the tents were supposed to go.
-Let's go, somebody must've attack them...- Shino said, so they both started running.
-Kurenai-sensei! - Kiba called. - What happened?!- Kurenai turned around to find her two students looking at her with a confused and worried expression, well, she actually couldn't see Shino's , but she could tell he was worried too.
-I don't know...I just got here. - She explained. - Hinata and Naruto must have fought against somebody...but...
-Where are them?!- Kiba asked worriedly.
-I...don't know....
-Crap! (That damn Naruto better be with Hinata!)-Let's look for them! - And with this, the three started looking everywhere around the place.
Kiba looked around the tents, Kurenai searched around the bodies, and Shino looked behind some bushes.
-Shino, what could they be doing behind the bushes?!- Kiba asked; Shino bent down completely ignoring the wolf eyed boy. - What are you doing? - Kiba asked again, and just then Shino started to pull two arms from behind a bush.
-It's Naruto! - Kurenai walked up to them. - What happened to him?
-Looks like somebody used Genjutsu...he's asleep...- Shino said.
-"........."- Kiba kept desperately looking everywhere for some trace of the white eyed girl.
-But where's Hinata?-Kurenai asked.
-She's probably somewhere around here......
-Naruto's a dumbass, I'll shake him awake! - Kiba leaned to were Naruto was and started shaking him to death. - Wake up you moron! Where's Hinata?!!! Where's Hinata?!!!- He roared.
-"........."-Kurenai and Shino stared at the angry Kiba, and at the swaying Naruto.
-Damn! - Kiba threw Naruto against the floor, the blonde still snoring.
-Kai! - Kurenai dispelled the Genjutsu from Naruto, some seconds later he slowly opened his eyes......Kiba glared at him, Kurenai and Shino just looked.
-Naruto! Where's Hinata?!!!- Kiba threw himself against Naruto and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. - Answer damn it!!!
-Kiba calm down!-Kurenai pulled Kiba away- Please tell us what happened...- She asked the confused boy on the floor.
-...I...I don't know...- Naruto scratched his head.- I was....
-Try and remember.........
-Where's Hinata?!!!- Kiba shook his fist.
-Hinata? - Naruto looked up to him. - She......
Flashback...
-There! - Hinata pointed to the woman who appeared in front of them.
-Here you are you troublemakers! The girl! You're coming with us!
End of flashback...
Naruto stood up, and then looked down the floor.
-They took her......-He said.
-WHAT?!!!-Kiba was about to jump and attack him again but Kurenai held him.
-Who took her? - She asked.
-......I don't know...after they attacked us......there was this woman......and a man......they said that they were gonna take Hinata......I tried to stop them......but......
-BAKA!!! YOU'RE PROBABLY THE STRONGER ONE AROUND US AND YOU COULDN'T STOP THEM?!!!-Kiba yelled. - YOU'RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING!!!- Naruto kept looking down the floor, he didn't know what to say, he felt guilty for what happened, and Kiba was right in some way.........
-BUT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HER, I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU, EVEN IF IT COSTS ME MY LIFE!!!!-Kiba kept yelling still held by Kurenai.
-Kiba, please...calm down...-She told him.
-Kurenai sensei! What happened here? - Tenten suddenly appeared from behind them along with Lee and Neji.
-Is everyone alright? - Lee asked.
-This idiot let somebody take Hinata!!!- Kiba said angrily, the three that had just come, stared wide eyed at Naruto, especially the white eyed boy...
-Somebody use Genjutsu against Naruto and then took Hinata away...-Kurenai explained.
-"........."- Neji stepped forward and gave Naruto a deadly glare, Naruto stared at him.-.... If something happens to her......-Neji grabbed him by the shirt.- I will kill you...- Everyone stared at the two, there went the second threat for the poor Naruto.
-Hey, it's not my fault! I did what I could! - Naruto being himself started to get pissed off.
-"........."- Neji clenched his teeth under his angry expression and then with a quick movement, he punched the blonde hard on the face......
- Ah!
-Naruto! - Sakura who just appeared from behind some trees gasped as she saw her friend fell on the ground after Neji's hard hit. - What's going on?!
-How should I know...-Sasuke stared at Naruto. - Let's go......
-Hai. - Sakura and Sasuke quickly hurried to were the little crowd stood schocked.
-Naruto...are you alright? - Sakura rushed and kneeled next to him.
-..Tch...- Naruto sat down and rubbed the blood from his mouth.
-Why did you hit him?!- Sakura glared at Neji, no response was heard, he just turned around but...just to find Sasuke also glaring at him, and ready to punch him back.
-He deserves it!!!- Kiba yelled, Kurenai still holding him.
-What?!- Sakura asked confused, and then looked at Naruto.
-...He's right......-Naruto looked down the floor.
-Huh?! Can anyone explain what's going on?
-I let 'em take Hinata...I couldn't do anything......-The blonde explained.
-Hinata? Who took her? - Sakura asked even more confused.
-Who knows, but is his fault, he could've stopped them, but he didn't, what the hell is on your mind Naruto?!!!!-Kiba yelled, Akamaru started barking at him.
-Naruto you baka! - Tenten said angrily, hands on hips.- Poor Hinata!
- Tenten I don't think....-Lee tried to say.
- Lee, be quiet! Naruto you're so irresponsible!
-...That's enough......-Shikamaru and his team, which had heard everything from behind some bushes stepped forward with an angry expression.- Leave him alone......- Chouji said, everyone stared at him surprised.
-...What? Are you by his side?!- Kiba yelled again.- But he...he...
-Side? We're at no ones' side; there are no sides in here! -Ino said. - Have you forgotten that we're all a team?
-She's right...-Chouji continued.
-Naruto, what the heck is wrong? I've never seen you let people step on you...- Shikamaru helped him up. Naruto stayed quiet for some seconds.
- Naruto, you did what you could...- Sakura said.- Don't worry...
-Sakura-san is right! - Lee stepped forward. - We can't blame him for what we don't know! We were not ever here to say that he didn't try to do anything...
-Yes, now, now, instead of being here wasting time, we should be working on a plan to save Hinata! - Ino interrupted.
-Well said. - Asuma appeared from behind them.
-Asuma where were you? And where's Tomoko-san? - Kurenai asked.
-Huh? I have no idea were she is...-He shrugged.
-(......Strange......)-Kurenai thought. - (I hope she has nothing to do with all this...)
-That woman sure is weird. - Tenten said.
-Who cares let's go look for Hinata! - Kiba interrupted.
-No, we don't know were to start yet...we can't wonder around the whole forest...let's come up with some kind of plan first......-Kurenai walked away next to a tree, Asuma then followed and they both started talking. The rest just spread away......
-------------:O:------------
-So...Um....who was this person that took Hinata? - Sakura asked Naruto who had leaned quietly against a tree.
-They were two, I don't remember that well...it all happened to fast...-Naruto held his fist, his electric blue eyes brimming in anger.
-"........."-Sakura looked at his worried expression.
-(Its my fault...I have to do something and not screw up this time......Hinata...I have to save you no matter what....)
Flashback...
Place: Konoha, festival, Hokage's birthday...
Naruto wondered around the whole festival, simply annoyed by the fact that he was by himself, and all the others were with somebody, their parents, friends, or just girlfriends or boyfriends......
Naruto looked everywhere for Sakura or Sasuke, and after some minutes, he found them seated on a bench, talking, Naruto surprised by the fact that Sasuke was actually having a normal conversation, just decided to not interrupt......so he walked away.
On his way back he found Hinata, just finishing an argument with her father, who was just walking away from her with a disgusted and angry expression. Hinata stayed there by herself looking down, so Naruto decided to say hi.
They spent the rest of the festival together and had a nice time talking and playing around; Naruto won many games and gave all the prizes to her. Hinata seem a lot better now after that confrontation with her father. So Naruto's plan succeeded.
-Thanks for walking me home Naruto-kun......
-No prob!
-Um..........and I...I want to also thank you 'cause... I really had a nice time with you...
End of Flashback...
-Damn! - Naruto started punching the tree, Sakura and Sasuke stared at him.
-Naruto... (I haven't seen him so worried since a long time...he's really worried about Hinata.....I wonder why....Hm....)-Sakura thought while looking at her friend's bleeding fist.
Some minutes later...
-Everyone! - A voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
-Huh? - All looked up, and spotted Tomoko standing on a tree branch.
-I've seen some men carrying that girl from your team, they went north, not to far from here, we've got to stop 'em! - She explained.
-Right! Guys let's divide into two teams! - Kurenai said. – My team and Kakashi's you go together, Asuma's and Gai's you guys are team two! Let's go!
-Follow me! - The woman started dashing into the forest, the rest quickly jumped and started following her.
Minutes later...
-I got a little far away, while I was looking for food, that's when I found that little cabin, and saw a woman and a man that were carrying that Hyuga girl, I recognized her, and I decided to tell you all right away.- The woman explained.
-Thanks for telling us, otherwise this would've been much worse, and we wouldn't have known were to start.- Kurenai said as they kept dashing into the forest.- (And I thought so bad of her...I guess I was wrong...)
-Kurenai-sensei, what are we going to do when we get there? - Neji reached to the front to were the sensei was.
-I don't know...
-Let's just bust in there! - Kiba yelled from the back.
-No, if we do that, they might hurt Hinata, we must carry out some kind of plan...-Kurenai said worriedly.
-(Damn...if something happens to her...Hiashi-sama is gonna go mad...And release his wrath against me........I should've stayed, and protected Hinata-sama....)- Neji held his fist.
-(...This is my entire fault......Naruto you're an idiot...I just hope she's alright...I'll do my best to save her.........)-Naruto scratched his head.
-(Kuso...Just hold on Hinata...)-Kiba thought.
-There it is! - The woman stopped on a tree branch, everyone did the same, and looked down a cliff which leaded to another forest. The little cabin could be seen down that cliff surrounded by trees and bushes.
-Guys, let's separate, we're too much, if they see us together is gonna be worse...-Kurenai said.- I'll take my team and Kakashi's, and we'll go west, Asuma, you take your team and Gai's and go east of the cabin, hide behind the bushes and wait for my signal...
-Alright!
-We'll talk by the little radio communicators. Tomoko-san, you come with me, let's go!
-Hai! - And with this everyone dashed away to their positions.
Asuma's team (Behind some bushes):
Asuma: (Looks into his little bag) Guys, I have some binoculars, let's use them to see what's going on inside the cabin...
Lee: (Jumps from the back and pushes Neji and Shikamaru on his way) Let me see!
Ino and Tenten: Sshh!!!
Lee: Oops...sorry...
Asuma: (Rolls his eyes) Here...
Lee: (Takes the binoculars and crawls to the front) Hm...
Tenten: What do you see?
Chouji: (Rubs his belly) I'm sooooo hungry!
Lee: ...Oh my......
Ino: Is Hinata there?
Lee: .....Wait guys...I can't believe what I'm seeing...
Neji: What?! Is Hinata-sama ok?
Tenten: Lee, hurry and tell us...
Chouji: All of this is making me starve...
Ino: Poor Hinata...being captured......it must be terrible...
Neji: Let's just bust in there...
Asuma: We'll wait for Kurenai's signal...
Lee: Oh my God guys!
Neji: (Shakes Lee's shoulder) What?!
Lee: I can't believe......
Asuma: What's going on? Are they doing something bad to her?
Shikamaru: ...Tsk...this is troublesome...
Ino: Are they hitting her?
Lee: ...No...
Tenten: Are they strangling her?
Lee: No....
Neji: Are they taking her eyes off?
Lee: Huh?
Everyone: (Sweat drops)
Neji: I don't know, maybe they want the secret of the Byakugan...
Everyone: Oh!
Lee: Is much worse!!
Everyone: What? What? What?!
Ino: Are they rapping her?
Everyone: (Gasps) Oh no!!!
Lee: No...the curtain is closed and I can't see.......
Everyone: (Sweat drops)
Kurenai's team (Behind some bushes):
Kurenai: (Looks onto the binoculars) Hm...
Tomoko: Is she there?
Kurenai: They have one window that is half opened......but I can't see that much from here...
Tomoko: Let me give it a try.
Kurenai: (Gives her the binoculars) Ok...
Kiba: (Glares at Naruto)
Naruto: (Glares at Kiba) What?!
Kiba: Baka...
Naruto: Cut it off already... (Shakes his fist)
Kiba: (Looks away)
Shino: (Stares calmly at a little bug on the grass)
Sakura: (Stares horrified at an enormous bug on the grass) Ah! (Jumps behind Sasuke) It's huge!
Sasuke: (Looks at the bug...sweat drops)
Sakura: Shino take that thing away!
Kurenai: Geez, guys be quiet!
Shino: (Happily walks up to the huge bug and picks him up)
Tomoko: I see her...
Kurenai: What's happening?
Tomoko: She's seated on the floor......her arms and legs are tied....
Kiba: Let's do something!
Sakura: (Gee...Kiba seems really worried about Hinata, same as Naruto......Naruto? But why? ....Well we're friends right? ...Hm...but.........I'm thinking about this again.....I wonder..... how Sasuke-kun would be if somebody captures me?) (Glances at Sasuke...blushes)
Kurenai: ...I have a plan...
Inside the cabin...
Man: I can't believe you didn't bring any food!
Woman: I can't believe YOU didn't bring any food!
Hinata: (......What do I do? ...Guys...Naruto-kun...please help me...)
Man: Are you sure this girl doesn't have any food?
Woman: I don't know, now stop asking stupid questions, and let's concentrate on our next step......
Man: Ok......First......back up should be coming soon......so....
Woman: Yes...and they need to hurry, before someone comes after this girl......judging by the quantity of the tents that were there, there was also other people... meaning, more shinobi equals more trouble...
Man: I bet they're already looking for us......Let's prepare for anything. Shoot, what's up with the boss....she could be calling us already....
Woman: Damn! If those two brats wouldn't have killed all our men, we wouldn't be worrying about back up!
Hinata: (What do they want with me?)
Man: ...Oh Miss Hyuga...how are you doing? (Pocks Hinata with a stick)
Hinata: "........."
Man: (Mockingly) Sorry to keep you hungry but we have no food...(Keeps pocking her)
Hinata: "........."
Woman: "........."
Man: (Looks into Hinata's sad expression)......Man, I still don't get what's the whole idea about capturing this girl! What does the boss wants with her anyways?
Woman: I guess....money? Remember she's a Hyuga meaning millionaire......
Man: Oh yeah! No wonder....
Outside....
Naruto: What plan?
Kurenai: Alright...I'll explain listen carefully.........First, we will use Ino's 'Mind- transfer' technique against one of the capturers.....Once she is inside she will let us sneak into the cabin...then we will use Shikamaru's 'Shadow copy' technique to hold them both once Ino returns to her body....and then rescue Hinata......This should be the easiest way to avoid bloodshed...
Naruto: Hey! What about us, I wanna kick somebody's ass too! Let me go with Shikamaru! I wanna help!
Tomoko: Looks like you will be able to... (Looks out the bushes, a bunch of armed ninja arrived out of nowhere and surrounded the whole cabin.)
Sakura: Oh no......this means more trouble......
Kurenai: ...Yes...we will have to be extra careful now......(Looks like everyone is gonna have to fight....I know what to do!) I will now explain the plan to Asuma......I'll give you the rest of details later......
By the other side...
Ino: Oh no! What the heck is this?
Neji: Looks like they have backup...
Lee: Piece of cake...I'll get rid of them with my new and powerful jutsu!
Tenten: Now, now Lee...don't get too exited...
Asuma: (Kurenai by the radio device) Is Kurenai sensei, be ready for action at any time guys...
All: Hai!
Chouji: ...I bet we'll have to fight like crazy now...
Ino: And what do you expect?
Chouji: Food!
Asuma: (Listening to Kurenai) Uh huh...that's a good plan......yes......you're right......but can't we make it a little more easier and have Shikamaru hold all the men outside with his 'Shadow copy' technique?
Shikamaru: .........This is getting more troublesome now...
Asuma: Oh...Ok...I understand now......alright then......I will give you my signal......
Ino: What is it?
Asuma: Alright guys, we will be the first ones in action......
All: "........"
Asuma: I will explain the plan, Ahem....first...Ino, you will use your special jutsu against one of the capturers that are inside the cabin...For that, you will have to sneak closer to the cabin, so you can directly hit them...
Ino: Alright...
Asuma: Once you are on his or her body, you have to be very careful, you will hold on for some minutes and try to act your best on not looking suspicious, we and the rest will be preparing for fight at any time......now listen careful......once you're inside the cabin......you will untie Hinata without letting the other notice, you will also tell Hinata that its you Ino, and tell her to hold on and pretend to be tied until we get there, this will save us some time, instead of waiting for us to get there......now...remember this is dangerous, the other person is not a genin and could quickly notice you are not the real partner......now......stay near the back window, which is the one that we can see through, already there, you will give us a signal and then open the door, make sure Shikamaru gets in and then quickly return to your body, while this Sakura and Naruto must already be near and also bust into the place, Sakura will get in and Naruto will stay outside fighting...
Ino: Question!
Asuma: What?
Ino: What if the back door is locked and I don't have the keys?
Asuma: That's a good question.........let me see...well you'll try and look for them, if the other partner has them, asked him or her for it, and tell that you're going to take a look outside.
Ino: Ok...( He makes it look so easy...what if I die on the try?!!!)
Asuma: Shikamaru...once Ino opens the door, she will return to her body, you will go ahead inside the cabin, and rapidly, you hear me ra-pi-dly use your 'Shadow copy' against the two guys inside and hold them there until Sakura gets into the house and helps you escape with Hinata.
Shikamaru: ...Yeah, yeah...
Asuma: Lee, Chouji and Neji you will wait for my signal to Kurenai, and then you will proceed on attacking the guards on the back and on the sides.
Lee, Neji and Chouji: Hai.
Asuma: Tenten, you will go ahead with Ino and take care of her real body, only until she comes back and then Shikamaru, Hinata and Sakura get outside, then you five will go back to the place were we camped, get it?
Tenten: Hai!
Asuma: Are you all ready?
All: Hai!
Asuma: Ino prepare, I will now give Kurenai the first signal...
Other side...
Kurenai: Guys, your work is pretty easy, listen now...Once Ino and Shikamaru proceed into the house, of course they will attack the two persons that are keeping Hinata inside there, now this is when we come into action. The guards outside will be alarmed by the commotion inside the cabin and they will quickly try to get in, you are to stop them as quick as possible, Sakura, you will go ahead around the bushes and sneak into the back door, Naruto you will go with her and both will beat the guards on the back, Sakura while you're inside, you will help Shikamaru and Hinata beat the two guys inside, since Ino will be back into her body, then you three get out of there and hide behind the bushes, in there you will find Tenten and Ino, and will go back to the tents, Naruto you will stay out and beat the guards on the way...
Naruto and Sakura: Hai!
Kurenai: Sasuke, Shino, Kiba, you will wait until Asuma's last signal to us and then we will go ahead and finish the last guards outside along with Lee, Chouji and Neji.......any questions now?
Naruto: (Scratches his head) Can you explain everything again?
Kurenai: (Rolls her eyes)
Sakura: (Slaps her forehead)
Sasuke: Baka...
Shino: "......."
Kiba: ......I didn't understand either......
Kurenai: (Sighs) Ok, pay attention......first, Ino enters and lets Shikamaru in, Ino returns to her body, Sakura and Naruto sneak behind bushes and beat the guards from the back, Sakura enters the house and helps Shikamaru and Hinata out, while this Naruto beats the guys on the back along with Lee, Neji and Chouji and Sasuke, Shino and Kiba beat the guys on the front.........got it now? (Sighs)
Naruto: (Still confused) Yeah...kinda...
Sakura: Just follow me okay?!
Naruto: Ok...
Kurenai: Be ready for Asuma's signal now......
Will everything go according to plan? Or will everyone screw up? Review to find out!
Oh and guys, I was also thinking, should I get Gaara's team into the fic later on? I don't know, you tell me what you think 'bout that 'kay?
Sorry for the long chapters, and thanks for reading! :D
