Kohona's Yellow Storm
Chapter 3:Headaches and Dreams…
There was a whole lot of anxious whispering and what not going on the in the den of Tsunade. All the members of the famous Hyuuga clan where gathered and they did not know why, this was one clan that did not like to be kept waiting nor did they like to be kept in the dark about an "S" ranked assignment that involved the ENTIRE Hyuuga clan to accomplish. The truth of the matter was, Tsunade was right next to the closed door to her den, she just wasn't quite ready to go in yet, this was going to cause a major headache and she wasn't in the mood…
"Tsunade! My family is getting impatient! Now why don't you walk into this room and say exactly what you have to say so we can leave!" Boomed the strong voice of Hyuuga Hiashi, the leader of the main branch of the Hyuuga family.
Tsunade jumped slightly and made a little "eep!" sound. Those damned eyes of theirs really creeped her out. She took a deep breath and entered the room. She watched as the entire clan stopped talking and stared at her. She cleared her throat and chose her words carefully.
"I have asked you all here to aid your country by completing an "S" ranked mission of the highest secrecy. I am asking you clan to care for the body of Uzumaki Naruto while his body is in a state of deep slumber to meditate on new information that will ultimately change his life. Make no mistake when I say that I choose this clan, the best in Kohona, to aid for this boy in his state of defenselessness. Yours is the only family in which I can place my trust to make sure that this boy doesn't fall into the hands of the Akatsuki. Will your clan except this mission Hiashi-san?"
The entire clan began to mummer to each other about this idea. Everyone looked anxious as their eyes turned to their leader whose pearly white eyes were deep in thought.
"So…you're asking me to bring this demon into our home and care for him like he was one of ours? That is sheer stupidity! To think that we, the great and mighty Hyuuga clan would bring such a monster into our house! How absurd that you would even bring this up Tsunade-sama! But if this is what you are asking my clan to do, the answer is no…" Hiashi said calmly with a firm hint of hate in his voice.
"I am asking you to do your duty to this village and its people! I am not asking you to take care of a demon, I am asking you to take care of a boy FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Tsunade roared out with such fury that it shook even the mighty Hiashi to his core.
"Will not one of you take this mission and care for the boy until he awakens? Not one of you?" Tsunade demanded surveying the crowd.
Slowly and meekly, a small girl crawled her way though the crowd to the front of the room. "I, Hyuuga Hinata will take on this mission for the leaf!" the small girl said stuttering her words nervously.
Tsunade smiled as she saw a boy coolly and calmly walk through the crowd and stand next to the girl.
"I, Hyuuga Neji will also aid in the protection of Uzumaki Naruto until he awakens from his slumber." The boy said with a cool air of confidence around him.
"I FORBID THIS! HINATA! NEJI! GET BACK WITH THE OTHERS AND KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT! YOU TWO WILL DO NO SUCH THING UNLESS I INSTRUCT YOU TOO, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Hiashi roared to the two kids standing before him.
"I did not realize that I needed your permission to be involved in a Kohona "S" ranked mission father, I thought that it was up to Tsunade-sama to decide that for us." The girl spoke calmly.
For the first time in her life, Tsunade heard the girl speak words without stammering or stuttering, and never had she heard the meek girl speak so boldly.
For the first time that night, Hiashi was stunned to complete silence.
"Well then, its settled, Neji and Hinata, I hereby place you on this "S" ranked mission I expect it to be completed successfully, understand me?" Tsunade said with a big grin on her face.
Both teens nodded in agreement and bowed to their leader. It was about that time that Hiashi regained his composure and spoke up.
"They won't be doing any such mission in my house, if you two want to play your little games you will do it outside the household, and be warned, if you two go along with this, I swear I will banish you both from this clan do you understand me?" Hiashi said in a very quiet and dangerous tone.
Both the teens nodded to him and bowed to him out of respect. This made Tsunade grin with an even bigger satisfaction.
"You, you defiant boy! Your dead do you understand me? I am going to unleash that seal and end your very existence myself!" Hiashi roared as he undid the seal on Neji's forehead. The mark appeared and Neji fell to his knees screaming in horrible pain.
Out of nowhere, Tsunade appeared in front of Hiashi and held the man in the air with a strong chokehold. The pain ended for Neji and he collapsed on the floor with Hinata kneeling by his side.
"IF YOU EVER, EVER, EVER TRY THAT AGAIN I WILL THROW YOU IN JAIL DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME! I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER IF YOU HURT EITHER ONE OF THESE TWO CHILDREN AND YOU WILL NEVER HOLD A POSITION OF COMMAND IN THIS VILLAGE EVER AGAIN DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Tsunade screamed out in a voice that made Hiashi want to crawl under a rock and die.
Hiashi was put back on his feet after he agreed and he commanded his clan to follow him out of the "disgraceful house" of the Hokage. After everyone had cleared out and only Tsunade, Neji, and Hinata remained. A very special guest entered the room.
"Are these the brat's that are going to be taking care of the boy's body?" The Kyubi said darkly to Tsunade.
"Yes, these two will be taking care of you in this house, they are the best of the rookie best and they won't let anyone harm you or the boy." Tsunade said coolly.
"Fine then, I know all I need to know and the stage is set, lead me to the place where we will rest and I will perform the spell…" The Kyubi said as he moved out of the way for Tsunade to lead.
Neji and Hinata had been speechless until they entered the hallway.
"You're the Kyubi aren't you? I think I always knew you were inside Naruto, but I could never be sure, but now I know its true." The girl said in a very scared voice.
The Kyubi just looked back and grinned while he continued to follow Tsunade down the hallway to the last door on the left. They entered the room and looked around. It was a beautiful gothic style room with a lovely bed covered in black satin and cashmere bed sheets and blankets. The Kyubi walked to the bed and climbed in. He closed his eyes and began to chant words from and old, dead language. The figure of Naruto began to glow a fiery red and then it disappeared. The spell was complete; the boy was in a deep slumber from which only he could awaken himself.
Having that task been completed, Tsunade gave Neji and Hinata a few last bits of information they needed to know for the mission before she left to take care of the monster headache that had welled up inside of her. But she laughed to herself quietly, for this was a night of headaches and dreams, but it seemed she herself would only get the headache part of the deal. Just her luck….
