As Sasuke dealt with Itachi, Naruto was heading off to help his friends. Jumping from tree to tree.
" Ok who do I need to find first. Well my top priority is Hinata-chan then if I can find Gaara we can split up and search for the others." Naruto said
He then stopped and sniffed the air and picked up the smell of lavender and water.
" There she is." Naruto said smiling and headed west
As he got closer Naruto could tell a fight was occurring nearby. Naruto landed on the tree to see a ninja and Hinata was facing off. The ninja looked a little worse for the wear and Naruto could tell Hinata was putting up a pretty good fight. Hinata got into a familiar stance and Naruto smiled.
Give him Hell Hinata-chan. Naruto thought
" SENJU KANNON O UTSU" Hinata said
With that her arms moved so fast it seemed as if she actually had 42 arms. She then rushed forward and closed all of the ninjas tenketsu points. The man collapsed on the ground unconscious. Naruto then jumped down from the tree and ran up to Hinata.
" Damn Hinata-chan remind me not to get on your bad side." Naruto said
" You almost did earlier this morning Naruto-kun." Hinata said
Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his head, " Well that Jutsu is on the top of my list of best move ever Hinata-chan. Another new one to show Hiashi." Naruto said
Hinata shook her head, " Iie, actually Otou-san gave me one of Okaa-san's Jutsus scrolls and this was one of her personal Jutsus. It seems her style of fighting was similar to mine. She really didn't want to hurt others, but in certain circumstances she would. This qualified." Hinata said
" So how did you get free?" Naruto asked
Flashback
As the ninja holding Hinata jumped from tree to tree. She could tell they were heading further away from Konoha and Tsunade.
At this rate Naruto-kun will never be able to help all of us. Hinata thought
Hinata saw they were nearing a small clearing and decided to make her move.
" KAITEN!" Hinata said
She started to spin in the ninja's arms and his grip loosened and she jumped away from him. The man was holding his arm healing them.
" Bitch that hurt." The ninja said
Hinata glared at the ninja for his language. Taking her normal fighting stance.
" You will regret capturing Tsunade-sensei and the others." Hinata said
" Foolish Hyuuga you're the weakest of the group. I have no threat from the likes of you." The cocky ninja said
" If that's true then why were you hurt by a Hyuuga Jutsu that any Hyuuga child can do?" Hinata asked
The man growled at her comment, " You're still the weakest of the group."
" Then I guess that makes you the weakest of yours." Hinata retorted
The ninja was now enraged as he ran towards Hinata. Hinata reached into her pouch and grabbed two kunais. She threw them at the ninja, but he ducked and they missed him
" Nice aim." He said
Hinata smiled, the ninja then heard a sizzling sound behind him. As he turned around to look he saw both kunais had tags attached to them. His eyes widened as the tags exploded sending the man flying towards Hinata. Hinata jumped out of the way and the ninja hit a tree that had been behind her. After a couple of minutes he finally pulled himself off the tree to see Hinata several feet away from him waiting.
" Finally decided to wake up?" Hinata asked
" WHY YOU!" the ninja spoke, " KARYUU ENDAN."
As a giant dragon of fire came towards Hinata she started to circle her arms in front of her. As her arms circled the water in the air started to form in front of her.
" That small bit of Mizu isn't going to help you Hyuuga." The ninja said smirking
" Oh who said it was a little?" Hinata asked
With that the water she was gathering in front of her started to take form.
" SUITORA NO JUTSU." Hinata said
The water then materialized into a tiger and rushed towards the fire dragon dowsing it and continuing forward to the ninja. He got ready to be dowsed by the water, but in a second it changed its consistency.
" HYOUTORA NO JUTSU." Hinata spoke
The tiger claws came up and sliced at the ninjas body. He was cut across his chest by the now ice tiger claws. If he hadn't of moved at the last second he would have been sliced in half.
" Tricky little Hyuuga." He said
" Oh by the way I don't know who informed you that I was the weakest. When I'm the next in line to be the head of the Hyuuga Clan." Hinata said
Her statement shocked the man.
Itachi lied to me, he said she was the weakest ninja of the group. Not the heir to the Hyuuga clan. He thought
" Let me guess Itachi told you that little bit of information. Well the last time he saw many of us were when we were still Genin but now we're all Chuunin." Hinata said
" It doesn't matter what you are I'm still stronger than you." He said bring out four kunais
He threw them towards Hinata, who used the Tate no Yuurei to deflect them. The ninja was surprised the kunais bounced off of her.
That's impossible. he thought
" Must be an Gen-jutsu." He said to himself
Hinata heard him say this, " Afraid not. I told you I'm the next in line and you're going to regret going against Konoha."
She then rushed towards him hands glowing blue with chakra.
" CHAKRA NO MESU." Hinata said
The ninja knew what her hands could do if they hit him anywhere. Along with Hyuuga accuracy this is a dangerous combo. The ninja twisted, turned, bent, and jumped to get away for her hands. The man finally flipped behind her and moved back a number of feet to get a good distance between them.
Chikusyou she's good. I'm starting to get tired. The ninja thought
It was then he heard a sound in some nearby trees, but didn't detect any chakra, so figured it for local wildlife.
Flashback Ends" I think that's when you arrived Naruto-kun. Though I don't know why he didn't attack you." Hinata said
" I hardly have any chakra signature anymore unless I want to have others sense it. So, I hide it most of the time now." Naruto explained
Hinata nodded understanding, " So what do we do with him?" Hinata asked
" Well with everything you said you did to him. Along with that sweet new move of your Okaa-san's I'd say he's going to be out for sometime. So for now we'll just tie him up and come back for his unconscious ass later." Naruto said
Hinata nodded pulling wire out from her coat pocket and with Naruto's help tied the man to the nearest tree and made sure if he did wake up he wouldn't be able to break free.
" Now that that's done lets find Gaara." Naruto said
" What about the others?" Hinata asked
" I'll explain once we find Gaara." Naruto said
Back on top of the Hokage Monument, Sasuke and Itachi were still fighting each other and not progressing very far in the fight. Mostly the two had been doing Tai-jutsu. But they seemed to be equally matched in that area.
" Sasuke you need to try something else. Tai-jutsu isn't good against him. You know that." Tsunade said
Sasuke looked over at her and nodded, " Yes let's switch this up Itachi."
" As you wish Otouto." Itachi said back
" KARYUU OOSENPUU" Sasuke said
With that a large streams of fire came towards Itachi, but instead of hitting him it surrounded him and rose up around him high into the air. When it was at the right height at the top a giant dragon emerged from the fire tornado. It flew down the center of the tornado and hit Itachi dead on with all its heat and power. Sasuke smirked knowing the dragon had hit its target and released the Jutsu.
" He couldn't of." Sasuke said
There where the dragon had hit Itachi still stood. His robe was smoking a little bit, but he was still very much alive.
" Well I'll give you credit Otouto. I wasn't expecting you to pull out that jutsu. I'm also impressed you could control it too." Itachi said
" Otou-san would have been proud of me, but he'll never see it will he Itachi!" Sasuke said
" I can probably arrange that for you." Itachi said, " Tsukuyomi."
With that Sasuke was taken into Itachi's Gen-jutsu world where he was chibi again and seeing his clan die all over again.
Sasuke looked up at the red moon in the sky and knew it wasn't the real, at least this red moon.
" ITACHI THIS WON'T WORK ON ME ANYMORE!" Sasuke shouted
Flashback
" Sasuke-kun, I'm going to teach you the Akuo no Zigoku today." Orochimaru said
" What does it do?" Sasuke asked
" It's sort of similar to Itachi's Tsukiyomi and caused the viewer to view their worst nightmare. Before I teach it to you I'm going to use it on you." Orochimaru said
" Why?" Sasuke asked annoyed he was going to have another jutsu used on him
" As I've said before if you're caught in a similar jutsu. This will help you to release it easily." Orochimaru said and Sasuke nodded, " Good, Akuo no Zigoku."
Flashback Ends
It took me three weeks to release that Jutsu of Orochimaru's, so if he was right and this is similar to his then. Sasuke thought
" Kai." Sasuke said
Sasuke was then back in the real and very similar world facing a very shocked Tsunade and Itachi.
" But how?" Itachi asked surprised, " It's impossible for you to get out of that without me releasing it."
" Oh there are other ways as Hokage-sama had gotten me out of it before. I can be grateful of Orochimaru for teaching me a few things and one is to get out of you evil Gen-jutsu's." Sasuke said
" Well you might have been able to get out of that Otouto, but how can you fight against someone you love." Itachi said as he made a number of hand seals
" Kami no, not that." Tsunade said
" Kyuchiyose Edo Tensei." Itachi said
With that a large wooden coffin came up in front of Itachi with the name Uchiha Fugaku on the front. Sasuke was wide-eyed because he knew what Itachi was about to do.
This is the one jutsu I refused to learn. Sasuke thought
" That's impossible you need a sacrifice for that." Tsunade said
" Oh but Otouto was kind enough to make one for me." Itachi said talking about the man Sasuke had killed earlier
As the coffin lid opened Itachi and Sasuke's father stepped out from inside he was wearing his Konoha Police attire. With that Itachi went forward with a kunai in hand that had his name written on the tag attached to it and inserted it into the soulless body. At once it became alive smiling at Sasuke.
" Musuko." Fugaku said
" TEME!" Sasuke said to Itachi, who stood back
" Lets see how you do against Otou-san Otouto." Itachi said, " Destroy."
Itachi pointed at Sasuke as their father nodded and ran towards Sasuke.
" Itachi you're as bad as Orochimaru using a loved one as the others opponent. Especially if that person is suppose to be dead." Tsunade said
" Oh shut up." Itachi said standing back and watching the fight
Chikusyou, always with the mind games Hokage-sama's right I can't fight my Otou-san. Sasuke thought
" RYUUKA NO JUTSU" Fugaku said
As Sasuke's father was surrounded by flames and shot a straight blast towards him. Sasuke managed to dodge the blast and not get burned.
" HOUSENKA NO JUTSU." Fugaku said
He cupped his hand around his mouth as balls of fire came out heading towards Sasuke new location. As the last second the flames went out to reveal shurikens hidden in them Sasuke already had his kunai ready and blocked all the shurikens dropping them to the ground.
This is so wrong. He knows all Katon Jutsu I use and I don't want to use the Jutsus Orochimaru taught me on him, but I'm going to have to or I'm going to be killed by Otou-san. Sasuke thought
" Gomen Otou-san" Sasuke said, " HEBI NO KOUSOKU NO JUTSU."
The ground underneath Fugaku began to shake and exploded as hundreds of snakes erupted from the ground opening their mouths and attached themselves all over Fugaku's body. The snakes ranged in size from small to large, but the small ones were the deadliest because they were highly poisonous. As the large ones wrapped around Fugaku to restrict his movements the small snakes injected him with more of their venom.
" Foolish Otouto, he's already dead. Venom will not work on him." Itachi said as Sasuke glared back at him
" GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU." Fugaku said as he blew the giant fireball around him making all the snakes disappear into smoke, " KARYUU ENDAN."
The large fire dragon emerged from his father mouth-heading straight towards him. Sasuke had been battling himself on what to do and was lost in thought as the fire dragon came towards him
Shimatta I can't dodge it. Sasuke though
" Only one thing to do." Sasuke said, " RASHOUMON"
An enormous gate rose in front of Sasuke with an Oni face on the front and chains holding it closed.
" There is only one of two things I can do to stop Otou-san, but either Jutsu will kill him again." Sasuke said
Finally Sasuke released the gate as his father and Itachi were still standing waiting. Tsunade was watching and waiting too.
Sasuke what will you do? You'll have to destroy you own Otou-san to set him free, but can you do it? Tsunade thought
As she looked into Sasuke's eyes she saw his resolve and determination.
" Hai, he can." Tsunade said Itachi looked over at her wondering what she was babbling on about, but then Itachi saw the hand seals.
" OTOUTO YOU CAN'T!" Itachi shouted
" Yes I can it's the only was to free Otou-san from your insane control." Sasuke said, "SEIRYU TO SUZAKU KOUGEKI."
From the pitch black sky and mighty roar and cry was heard in an instant a dragon and phoenix made of fire emerged from the clouds hovering above Sasuke. Both were waiting for Sasuke's word.
" So Otouto I see you've been reading the Clan's Jutsus." Itachi said
" Hai, I found this one particularly interesting, since it calls upon the guardians of the East and South themselves. Though it does require the user to prove their worth as an Uchiha before they'll listen to you. That's the way I knew you wouldn't be able to control them." Sasuke said
" Iie, but I don't see how they consider you an Uchiha either. You betrayed Konoha after all." Itachi said
" True, but I'm redeeming myself now Itachi. Where as you are still a missing-nin and haven't come back for your punishment, until now." Sasuke said
" SEIRYU, SUZAKU!" Sasuke shouted and pointed to his father
The two creatures cried at the same time flying down toward Fugaku. Neither he nor Itachi had time to react as the dragon and phoenix came spiraling down faster and finally crashed into Fugaku erupting into a ball of flame. As soon as it was made it disappeared. What was left was a giant scorch mark, but no Fugaku in sight. Sasuke looked up into the sky regretting what he had done, but knew it had to be.
" Otou-san Gomen." Sasuke said
" How touching Otouto, but even if you destroy Otou-san I'm still not done yet." Itachi said
With that another coffin appeared beside Fugaku's that had looked like it had been caught on fire. On the front of this one it read Uchiha Mikoto.
" TEME! Don't bring her into this." Sasuke said
" I'm not the one bringing her into this Otouto, you are." Itachi said
" BULLSHIT!" Sasuke shouted
" If you had just let Otou-san deal with you. I wouldn't have to call on Okaa-san. You never saw her fight, but she was a Jounin level Uchiha, Otouto." Itachi said
With that the coffin lid fell off revealing Itachi and Sasuke mother. Her long black hair flowing somewhat in front wearing normal ninja attire and a Jounin vest. She looked caringly at Sasuke.
" Sasuke-kun." Mikoto said
" Okaa-chan." Sasuke said to her on the verge of tears
" You're one sadistic man Itachi." Tsunade said
" Be quiet Tsunade-sama, this is between my family and I." Itachi said
" More like you just want to torture Sasuke even more than ever." Tsunade said
Itachi smirked and went towards his mother and placed a kunai inside of her too.
" Okaa-san, Otouto's been bad. I think he needs to be punished." Itachi said
Back in the forest Hinata was following Naruto, who had caught Gaara's scent. As they neared they heard a scream of someone being killed and then silence. Another couple minutes past and the two reached their destination. Then sitting on a large boulder was Gaara with the ninja that had 'tried' to capture him dead at his feet.
" What took you so long?" Gaara asked
" Oh come on Gaara, like you need our help." Naruto said motioning to the dead ninja
Gaara shrugged and Naruto hung his head in defeat.
" Naruto-kun what now?" Hinata asked
" We split up." Naruto said
" But we just found each other?' Hinata said
" Hai, but if we split up we can find the others faster and head back to Konoha to help Oba-chan and Aniki." Naruto said
" So who goes after who?" Gaara asked
" Well I though you could find your siblings and Shikamaru, Hinata-chan goes after her teammates, Neji, and Tenten. I'll go after Sakura-chan, Choji, Ino, and Geji Mau. Once you find the people in your group head to my Otou-san's house and we'll head out from there." Naruto said
" Hai." Gaara and Hinata said
With that the three separated and went to find their assigned people.
