Hiashi's eyes were wide in shock , sleep had escaped him in the middle of of the night. Noises coming from Hinata's chamber seem to echo all through out the whole manor.
'Damn They're still at it??' Hiashi thought as he tried to ignore Hinata's screams of pleasure and moaning out Naruto's name. Hiashi finally just got up and stepped out of his room for a little stroll out in the Garden. He suddenly felt a discrete familiar amount of chakra approaching him. Hiashi quickly turned around , hiss arms raised in the traditional defensive stance of the Hyuuga clan. Jiraiya landed with a soft thud infront of Hiashi with a small smile on his face.
"Jiraiya-sensei how are you?" Hiashi greeted while trying to figure out why the Sannin and former teacher was here. Jiraiya gave him a small grin and pulled out a small scroll with Tsunade's insignia. Hiashi rolled his eye knowing full well he was being summoned by Tsunade. 'Should have known Tsunade-sama would be watching thru that ball that Sandaime-sama used' Hiashi thought as he hurried away towards the Hokage Tower.
Neji had the same problem in sleeping. 'Damnit couldn't those two keep it down?' Neji thought as he shifted from one position to another trying to return to sleep. he grumbled as he returned to sleep annoyed by Naruto and Hinata's rather loud activity.
Both Hyuugas finally returned to sleep as the noises stop and silences once again filled the entire estate. Hiashi and Neji were kinda scared of Hinata now. She may have been timid in the past but now she was like an animal unleashed. Good thing Naruto's loud and obnoxious attitude cancelled that out and could be Hinata's equal in personality. This would be a rather nice development If Naruto won all of the matches plus with Hinata as the new clan head it would be a good change for the whole Hyuuga clan.
The night went on without any incident except for the Hyuuga Council of Elders.
"We cannot allow this! The Blood of the Hyuuga must be preserve" One Hyuuga elder said in outrage. The other elders were contemplating on what to do to prevent from Naruto winning.
"This is an all-out Taijutsu battle remember..and the Hyuuga is the strongest when It comes to Taijutsu" Another elder said while a frail hand raised itself in the air.
"We may be strong in Taijutsu and unbeatable but this Uzumaki Naruto is the same one who has beaten our very own Hyuuga Neji the strongest Hyuuga to come out of this clan. The very same Uzumaki Naruto who is the container of the Nine-Tails demon fox." The owner of the hand spoke as he remembered the fight 5 years ago during the Chuunin Selection Exam where Naruto did the impossible and beat Neji.
"You should also take into account that Uzumaki Naruto is also known as Uzumaki Shinigami Naruto son of Shinigami Shin the Fourth Hokage" A voice came from the darkness. Jiraiya stepped into the light looking at the Hyuuga Elders. "Even If you try to go all out Naruto will still find a way to win. He is the last hope of this village" Jiraiya continued as he made his way to the center of the room.
"Jiraiya-sama..It's been a long time since you visited." The lead Hyuuga elder greeted intrigued by the white haired -sannins appearance. "We are just discussing about the Hyuuga Trails that has been place on Uzumaki Naruto the new jounin that was appointed by the Fire Country Daimaoh." He continued while trying not to hide any fear. Hyuuga may be the strongest but they could still not match up to the strength of a Sannin preferably the sensei of the fourth Hokage who was the strongest of the Hokages except for the current one.
Jiraiya was abit shocked by this news. "Hyuuga Trials on Naruto?" Jiraiya asked as he pulled out a bottle of warm sake from his vest along with a cup. The Hyuuga elder nodded.
"Hai Jiraiya-sama..It seems Uzumaki-san has taken an interest in Lady Hinata. He has already propsed to her with Hiashi-sama's consent but without the councils consent." The Hyuuga said trying not to tremble in anger at the thought of the council ignored with such a decision.
"so Naruto has propsed to Hinata..Whats wrong with that?" Jiraiya saked amused and already knowing the reason why.
"We must uphold Tradition Jiraiya-sama..We cannot allow an outsider ,even if He is quite skilled as a shinobi ,be wed with the heir." The old man said his voice was now having a trace of fatigue.
"Well that ain't my problem but then I know Naruto will pass your stupid test which May I remind you is absolutely absurd!" Jiraiya said as he disappeared in a puff of smoke. This left the Hyuuga Council in silence trying to still come up with a plan to put a stop in the wedding of Naruto and Hinata.
"Oh yeah I trained Naruto" Jiraiya's head appeared in mid-air then disappeared once again leaving the Council at an uproar and even more hopeless. That is until 4 pairs of Byakugans appeared from the darkness, the council immediately felt at peace.
"So the Elite Four of the Hyuuga are gonna be our contestants for the Trials. Uzumaki-san will not live to fight Hiashi-sama" The Hyuuga Elder farthest to the right said as he surveyed the four pale Hyuuga's standing before them. Each one had well built bodies while their hair were tied in ponytails like Neji.
Each of the newly arrived warriors all wore black cloaks with silver clouds stitched at the collar of the cloak. They all wore ANBU like mask that hid their lower visage, their Byakugans were void of any emotions as they knelt down infront of the elders.
The elders had smirks plastered on their faces as the Elite four showed their loyalty to the Council. "WE can rest now that we know We can win the trials and assure our survival in this clan" The lead elder said as he got up and began to move towards his chambers. The rest of the elders followed leaving behind the silent four who then disappeared in a puff of smoke.
In the Hokage Tower Jiraiya and Tsunade along with a rather sleepy Hiashi were discussing the Hyuuga Trial.
"So Naruto proposed to Hinata but the elders will not allow it? They also want the rules of Hyuuga which means the Trials to be performed on Naruto?" Tsunade asked while rubbing her temple. She felt a large headache coming on and with the recent Sound Village Raids this situation wasn't helping it.
Hiashi nodded as he looked straight into his former sensei's eyes. Jiraiya had a glint in his eye that showed excitement and bit of fear. Jiraiya then whispered something to Tsunade's ear which in turn made her forma rather large grin on her youthful face. Tsunade quickly pulled out a empty scroll from her desk and began writing something in it. She then summoned Aoba and Genma to announce something after throwing the scroll to them.
"There its done" Tsunade said while Jiraiya happily began a little dance of victory. Hiashi meanwhile had a puzzled expression on his face.
"What did you just do Hokage-sama?" Hiashi asked almost afraid of the fifth's reply. Hiashi wanted to be done with this and return to bed so he can prepare for his match at the trials.
"Oh Nothing I just Announced the Trials as a Tournament between the Shhinigami Clan vs the Hyuuga Clan" Tsunade said her voice filled with excitement that was only heard by Jiraiya. Jiraiya knew full well the tone of voice Tsunade was using. Tsunade's gambling voice meaning the Legendary Sucker in her was surfacing again. Jiraiya could only hope this time she bet on the right side.
"Shinigami clan??" Hiashi asked almost shocked and felt the shiver when he spoke the name of the clan in which his closest friend came from. The Shinigami clan..A clan the mostly were Hunter-nins and Their family jutsus mainly revolved around Death and the Gates. What Hiashi feared most was the New bloodline that had appeared when Naruto was born. A child born of the Death dealing Shinigami clan and the Almost invinsible Uzumaki Tribe of Fighters. Hiashi saw for himself what Shinigami Shin could do especially partnered with his wife Uzumaki Kyou.
What even more scared Hiashi was the fact that the Kyuubi was sealed inside the Blonde Teen. "I look forward to fighting the son of my closest friend." Hiashi said as he stood up and turned around to leave. "I bet on the Shinigami Clan...A million Yen" Hiashi said before he stepped out of the room. Tsunade had a childlike expression on her face , as if Christmas had come early this year and she had won in a Casino. Tsunade quickly told Jiraiya to place her bet on the Shinigami clan as well.
The next day the News about Naruto's fight spread like wildfire. Everyone was talking about a Shinigami challenging the Whole Hyuuga clan. Which wasn't true but the rumors grew and all of the Konoha-nins were excited to see the battle. They were surprised when the announcement said Shinigami Clan vs Hyuuga Clan not Uzumaki clan vs Hyuuga , since Naruto's name was mentioned during the announcement. Rumors were going around that the long lost survivor of the Destructive and mysterious clan had come back to Konoha to aid in the war. They didn't know that Naruto was the only one left sane enough to control its power.
Sasuke after healing from his injuries heard the news about the battle. He was curious as to who this Shinigami was. He returned to his house to change and have a quick breakfast. When he arrived Kakashi and Sakura were there waiting for him.
"Go get change quickly or We'll miss the first match." Kakashi said not taking his eyes off the orange book he was holding. Sakura gave Sasuke a small smile but like always was ignored by the Uchiha. Kakashi leaned against the wall as Sasuke entered his house to change. This took a few minutes of waiting which Sakura found boring. She wanted to go to the stadium for a good seat.
Sasuke came back out with clean clothes and munching on a rice ball. He nodded to Kakashi which signaled that they should leave. Without skipping a beat the three of them teleported to the stadium via the Konoha Shunshin no Jutsu.
In the stadium Naruto was standing in the middle of the Arena trying to calm his nerves from the excitement. Last Nights activity was enjoyable plus It was a night he would never forget. A small smile crept on his face as he adjusted his vest and waited for the first match to start.
In the bleachers Naruto's friends were watching him standing in the middle of the arena , trembling with excitement. Gaara sat beside Kankurou while Temari could be seen sitting beside a certain Uchiha Avenger. Sakura could be seen sitting beside Gai while Kakashi was nowhere to be seen. Tsunade and Jiraiya were in the VIP Lounge together with Hyuuga Hiashi who were waiting for the referee to arrive.
Kakashi finally appeared in the middle of the Arena which caused the crowd to throw pieces of paper and fruits at the gray haired jounin. Naruto glared at Kakashi who ignored the teens glare and set his gaze on the cloaked figure that was moving towards them.
"Ahem...The First Match : Uzumaki Shinigami Naruto vs Hyuuga Yahiko." Kakashi said in a rather bored tone. He took a look at Naruto then at Yahiko then nodded to the two to start the match.
Yahiko quickly went into the offensive charging at Naruto with close combat. Naruto took a single step backwards and countered Yahiko's gentle fist style aimed at his chest. Naruto quickly wrapped his fingers around Yahiko's wrist and threw him towards the ground. 'This is wierd his attact is too predictable' Naruto thought as he prepared for an attack. Yahiko had gotten up a smirk forming in his face as he took the cloak off.
"Impressive..Now I know how to defeat you" Yahiko said as he resumed his Jyuuken Stance. Yahiko quickly threw three shurikens which started to multiply as he finished the handseals for the Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Naruto's eyes went wide as he moved to dodge the projectiles. He quickly ducked low and threw a single kunai at Yahiko. 'This isnt good..I didn't know a Hyuuga knew any other jutsus except Hyuuga Styles' Naruto thought as he threw the three shurikens back at its owner adding abit of chakra to add speed to it.
Yahiko seeing the speed of the projectiles did what any Hyuuga would do. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" Yahiko muttered as he expelled a large amount of chakra all over his body and begun to spin like a top. The shurikens bounced off the Chakra barrier that was Yahiko and lay on the ground. Naruto smirked as Yahiko stopped his absolute defense and charged forward with his right palm forward. Naruto quickly leaped back to avoid any close contact with the Hyuuga knowing full well what it would do.
'Okay this is getting me nowhere and This is the first match.' Naruto thought as he quickly parried Yahiko's punch with a spinning heel kick to his head. Yahiko moved his head slightly and pushed his arm to Naruto's shoulder pushing the blond teen back. Naruto felt the attack which really stung , he took a step back holding his shoulder. Naruto gritted his teeth as he glared at Yahiko. Yahiko just smirked as he continued his attack on Naruto.
Yahiko quickly performed a combo of gentle fist and kicks at Naruto who moved backwards to deflect his attacks. Naruto quickly saw an opening in Yahiko's defense and threw a punch to Yahiko's mid-section sending the pale eyed man crashing backwards. Naruto quickly took the advantage and threw another punch to Yahiko's stomach. Yahiko doubled over his hand over his stomach as searing pain course thru his stomach which began to move towards his brain. His eyes went wide in horror as a glowing fist rammed into his throat.
Yahiko flew up into the air , his eyes saw a dark figure which blocked the sun's light. Naruto's eyes had that glint of determination that made Yahiko shiver in fear. "Dont Underestimate me" Naruto said those three words that sealed Yahiko's fate. "Occult Disruption!" Naruto muttered as his hand made contact with Yahiko's chest sending the Hyuuga head first into the ground. To the on lookers he looked like a bird being shot down by hunter.
Naruto landed on the ground holding his stomach and shoulder. He stood on one foot as he waited for Kakashi to declare the winner. Yahiko had recieve full blow of Naruto's short range attack meaning before he even hit the ground Yahiko was already knocked out.
Kakashi seeing no signs of Yahiko getting up declared Naruto the winner and the next opponent to come down. A puff of smoke signalled the arrival of the second member of the Elite Hyuuga.
"So you beat Yahiko..the brat..He was over confident of his capabilities...You will fall and I shall be the victor" The second Elite said as he took off his cloak to reveal his body covered with kunais. The kunais detatched themselves from the Hyuuga's body and aligned themselves on his fingers.
"Let me introduce myself I am Hyuuga Suiken. The Drunken Hyuuga" The man said as he took out a large bottle of sake and drank from it. As he gulped down the liquor the kunais began to rise from the ground as chakra strings could be seen abd chakra radiated at the tip of the blades. Naruto quickly went into a defensive stance while pulling out a single rose from his pocket.
'Time to show them what I earned from Kyuubi' Naruto thought as a small tremor occured from his excitement. Naruto was going to show them how he can communicate with nature and use it to fight. He smirked as the wind started to pick up and the temperature around the arena dropped lower.
Kakashi nodded at the two and dropped his hand signalling the start of the second bout. He quickly leaped onto the far wall to avoid any attacks while his sharingan eye observed the battle. He might be able to learn a few tricks from his former student plus once again see the power of his sensei's clan. 'Sensei your son has inherited your powers and more' Kakashi thought as he saw Suiken begin his attack.
The kunais rushed at Naruto like whips as they randomly flew all over the place giving the blonde teen a hard time to dodge the move. 'Crap I can't dodge if the attacks are off balance. and why is he attacking in a long range style I thought Hyuugas were close range?' Naruto thought as he pivoted to the right only to meet three kunais that struck his left shoulder. Naruto quickly flicked the rose which quickly extended to its whip form.
Naruto quickly drew the whip back and flung the throns at Suiken but with an off balance stance Suiken dodge luckily with some random well placed side steps. He quickly backflipped backwards creating distance between them as he retracted the kunais. NAruto slammed his hand on the ground while closing his eyes. The ground started to shake as vines erupted from the ground and snaked its way towards Suiken. Suiken quickly leaped away from the vines to escaped from being captured. Naruto appeared before him with two rose whips in his hand. Naruto quickly wrapped the throns around the Hyuuga, when he suddenly felt a gush of wind escape from him. Heeding no mind to it Naruto threw the bounded Suiken to the ground.
Naruto smiled as he watched Suiken stopped moving when a kick to his back sent him crashing to the ground. 'Kage Bunshin?' Naruto ghouth as he got up trying to find the Hyuuga. Suiken quickly charged forward aiming all of his Kunais at Naruto.
"8 Point Blood Bath!" Suiken said as he positioned himself into the Hakke Rokujou Yonshou Stance only with the Kunais flying above him. NAruto was shocked at the new way of attack. 'Crap This better work!' Naruto thought as he clenched his fist and communicated with the winds.
"1st Strike!" Suiken roared as he sped towards a unmoving Naruto. The Hyuuga did not notice the sudden change in the temperature. He continued to charge forwards as heused the kunais to hit the teen in the shoulders. Naruto smiled ashe the kunais were not hitting any vital parts.
"Time to end this!" Naruto clamly said, his hands were a blur as he snatched the kunais that were attacking him and pulled on it drawing Suiken closer to him. By the time Suiken was close to him Naruto found the Hyuuga to be frozen.
"What the hell?? How'd that happen?" Kankurou asked while trying to warm himself up.
"Naruto can has control over Nature..A gift from Kyuubi" Gaara smiply said as he watched the only person to ever beat him in a fight punch the Hyuuga into a wall.
Kakahsi meanwhile was shivering from the cold and also shocked that when he tried to look at Naruto he saw chakra all over the place. it was as if the whole place became chakra. He just saw Naruto call out to the chakra which seemed to follow his everycommand.
"Wi..winnner UuuZumaki Naruto!" Kakashi said as he shivered from the coldness of the Arena. Naruto himself felt the cold of the winds that he had called to his aid.
Naruto was abit tired from the two battles. He waited for the Third of his opponents to come down. 'This is really a test of my capabilities...I will show them..Never to underestimate me' He thought as the people were going to the stalls of a light snack.
"We will have a small intermission so the fighters can rest and regain lost chakra." Kakashi said after getting warmed up and now held a cup of hot cocoa in his hand. Naruto nodded and took off to one of the observation booths where he could get some Ramen or Soldier pills.
Six hours from Konoha...
5 cloaked figures were moving towards the direction of Konoha. Each of them had slash marks on their forehead protectors. The Akatsuki was on the move towards Konoha to capture the two Youkai Carriers which they had false information. There were no more Youkai Carriers in Konoha.
The Leader of the Akatsuki was silent for the most part of the journey. He was preparing himself to fight his Grandson and a demon. Not a bad way to test the Gates against another Shinigami. "This would be an interesting Battle...After we capture the two Youkai Carriers..WE destroy Konoha!" The leader yelled earning smiles from the members including one blue skiined Shark face Missing-nin. He was anxious to start killing and use Samaheda on a leaf nin.
