It's been awhile hasn't it? School's the same boring thing with a lot more HW. NOOO! They licensed Naruto to be on Cartoon Network! Now where am I supposed to get uncut episodes? (Unless they do that DBZ and CCS thing where the fans get all mad and go buy the uncut episodes.) I'm really sorry that I took so long, but if u see the last chapter where I said "happy (insert holiday)", u should've expected delays. By the way, "HAPPY ST. PARTRICK'S DAY!"

Disclaimer: Regular rules apply, I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would (insert desire)

Ch. 7: Chaos (Love and War Among Other Things)

After the dreaming, I awoke to my sister hanging over me.

"Oneesan! You're awake!" she said with excitement.

"Hanabi… Did Naruto-kun or Neji-niisan win?" I managed to mutter.

"That blonde kid won, but they were both so powerful."

"I see, what about Sasuke-kun?"

"The Uchiha kid? Well when he broke the creepy sand guy's shell, there were these white feathers falling out of the sky. I went to sleep soon after that. When I awoke, we were evacuating the stadium because the Sand and Sound were trying to take over. The invasion is still going on right now, so we have to stay in the mansion where it's safe."

"What? Where's father and Neji-niisan!"

"Neji-niisan is in his room resting. Father has gone to aid the counterattack. You should rest now. Your teammate with the dog said you were coughing up blood earlier."

Hanabi got up and walked out of the room. It's weird. She's better than me at leading the clan and playing the mother. My eyes drifted back into the land of dreams. Again I saw two of me. Both dressed in another boy's clothing. They were attacking each other with the Gentle Fist much more gracefully and accurately than I ever could.

"Oh, we have a guest." said the Sasuke-me

"Yes, it seems we do." said the Naruto-me with a bit of sarcasm.

"How do you both execute the Gentle Fist so well?" I asked.

(For visualizing purposes, the dialogue shall be Hinata, Sasuke-Hinata, and Naruto-Hinata. Thank you.)

"We're part of you…"

"…so you should know how to do it too." (Hey, that rhymes!)

"So have you chosen…"

"… which one you want? Or will we have to…"

"… point out pros and cons."

"Umm… can't we discuss this later?"

"Sasuke had his whole family wiped out."

"Well Naruto never had a family."

"Well Naruto isn't even attracted to Hinata."

"Well Sasuke has a fan club, which makes it harder for Hinata."

"Well-"

"Will you both just shut up!" That was the first time I swore in a long time, even though it was in my head. I woke up to see Hanabi hovering over me again.

"Oneesan. Father wants us in the main hall."

I began to tremble with fear. 'Perhaps father was going to sell me off to the Sand?' I thought. When we finally arrived, almost every Hyuuga was there. I saw Neji-niisan. He was in pretty bad shape. Then father came in.

"It is with a heavy heart," he began, "that I have to reveal this unfortunate news to our noble clan. The Third is dead."

So how was it? If it was bad, I have a good excuse. This stupid teacher gave me an F when I turned in all of the assignments and got good marks on all of them. Plus a dog tried to hump me. If you think I'm whining, please review anyways. By the way, what does "masukomi" mean in Japanese?
