火火Chapter Four火火
In this chapter I shall introduce the brackets they are just alternate ways of writing parts that pop into my head (normally perverted) but anyways...
As Hinata lay barely conscious in Naruto's arms, she struggled to understand what had happened. Her entire team had been decimated by one person; they lay now on the brink of death. She had just barely escaped, how she had escaped she did not know but she did as her sensei had said and went back for help, but as she lay there in Naruto's arms she wished that she could stay there forever, staring into his blue eyes. His eyes that reflected so much worry for her. No, these aren't the eyes that I want him to look at me with She stood up and steadied herself, as she struggled to stay upright, she saw multiply Naruto's in front of her,
"Hinata..."
His voice resonated in her head, she stumbled forward off the ledge and fell onto Tsunade who was now out of her seat,
"M – My team..."
"Don't speak, lie down I'll quickly fix this."
As Tsunade lay down Hinata on the desk, she began to heal the wounds that were on the front of her body. Who could have done this, she seems to have been stabbed directly through her chest and no normal stab either, it seems that after she was stabbed chakra was discharged through her body disrupting her organs, this could have stopped her heart! How she survived and made it here is a mystery, just who did she have a battle with? As she continued to heal Hinata a face flashed through her mind, the face of Orochimaru.
Moments later Hinata was able to stand by herself,
"So Hinata can you tell us what has happened? I mean to be seriously like that, they aren't nobodies. Whoever did this I'll find them and beat them up!"
Hinata blushed at these words, but did not lose her composure,
"Thank you Naruto-kun, I'm not sure of their names or any details about them but I do know they're from the village of sound."
"Dammit that bastard Orochimaru! First Sasuke and now this! I'll beat them up and force them to tell me where Sasuke is."
"If this has anything to do with Orochimaru or the village of sound then we need to tread carefully, Naruto don't do anything rash."
"Don't do anything rash, look what they've done to Hinata! Hinata do you know where these guys are?"
"I know the rough area I should be able to locate them with my Byakugan, but like Hokage-sama said we-"
"Lets go then!"
Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and pulled her towards the window, Hinata blushed even deeper when Naruto grabbed her hand but hadn't lost her voice,
"Naruto-kun I still can't feel my legs that well so I don't think it's a go-"
"Then I'll carry you!"
Carry me, but I'm not mentally prepared for this! To be so close to Naruto-kun I always wanted this but- Naruto swept up Hinata into his arms and leapt onto the windowsill,
"Naruto get down, I said don't do anything rash this is about as rash as it gets! What the hell are you going to do Naruto? If they injured Hinata this badly-"
"I will win at all costs! I said that I'd beat them up, so I'll beat them up! A man never takes back his word, that's my way of the ninja! I'll beat them up and get back Sasuke, jut watch! Which way Hinata?"
"That way, but Naruto do you really think this is a good idea, shouldn't we stop and think?"
"We don't have time for that, lets go Hinata!"
As Naruto leapt off pursuing his unknown opponents, Sakura stared in disbelief at what she'd just seen.

Sakura had just strolled out of the main Konoha building, she had become rather frustrated at waiting for Naruto. hat could he be doing, surely he didn't intend to stay this long? She had gone inside to check if he was in the corridor but to no avail. As she strolled out side, she took shelter under a tree to avoid the sun, I hoped to be enjoying this weather with Naruto but what is he doing? As she absent mindedly looked up to Tsunade's window she was shocked to see Naruto standing on it holding Hinata in his arms. She stood up and walked a little closer to hear what he was saying as he appeared to be making a speech to Hinata,
"Let's go, Hinata!"
As she watched Naruto leap off into the horizon she was suddenly filled with anger. WHAT THE HELL IS NARUTO DOINGMWITH HINATA! To try and calm herself down she decided to knock down a few trees. HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO GO WITH ME! As she knocked down another row of trees, Konohamaru (who just so happened to be passing by) watched in disbelief, WHEN HE GETS BACK I'M GONNA KILL HIM! Konohamaru screamed and stumbled backwards, Sakura slowly turned round to see him,
"You knew all about this all along didn't you! You're always with Naruto! Why did he go with Hinata instead of me! WHY!"
"I – I – I d – don't know who you're talking about-"
"LIAR! ALL BOYS ARE LIARS!"
She wrenched out the nearest tree and flung it at Konohamaru, who just managed to jump out of the way. As she turned around to get another tree she was shocked to see locked in a close embrace fiercely kissing,
"SAI! INO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
As she froze there staring at them the slowly broke apart, Ino slowly looked around at Sakura with a look that said, 'If you don't fuck off I will kill you'.

"That's what I thought, so what were you waiting here for?"
"Well I wanted to ask you a question, well it's about Naruto."
"Yeah go on"
"Do you love him?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Well I just wanted to know, for teamwork purposes..."
"Well to be honest I haven't really thought about it that way, but as you've asked me I guess I do."
"I see."
"When I'm around him I just feel as if everything's going to be okay, that Sasuke will come back, that any mission we do will succeed...and that me and Naruto will be together..."
"Sakura, what you said earlier did you mean it?"
"Ah which bit?"
"When you said you'd put all your efforts into getting me and Ino together."
"Yeah of course."
"Well then I'd be grateful to accept your help, I feel that if I could find someone for me to love then it would help me regain all my other emotions. I don't understand love or friendship that well yet but I hope that you can help me."
Wow he could really be serious, but then again when has he ever not been serious, so maybe it isn't such a lost cause for Ino.
"Well that's good to know because it seems that Ino is the perfect choice seeing as she already seems attracted to you."
"Well it would seem that way."
Sakura was quite shocked, for Sai to just come forward and openly admit that he wants to get together with Ino. Maybe he wants to be close to someone like he was with his brother.
"If that's so then the first thing you have to do is ask her on a date..."
For a good hour they sat there and talked, Sai even took notes on most of the things that she said. After the conversation Sakura bid him goodbye and as she watched him leave she believed that he was truly starting to open up.

As Sakura continued to look on in disbelief she finally acknowledged Ino's look and replaced the tree, she then turned around and strolled back through the clearing of trees she had created. As she walked she was happy that Ino and Sai had from the looks of got together, but she regretted that she hadn't got to do anything to get them together,
"Ah well I'll just have to ask Sai all about it later."
As she walked away towards Tsunade's office she was reminded of what Naruto had done,
"But I still won't forgive that bastard Naruto!"
As she said this she felt thunder from not far away, which perfectly reflected how she felt inside.

Sai was waiting outside Ino's house, he had just asked her mother if he could speak with her. According to Sakura you should be on good terms with a girls family so he should present to her mother if he could speak with her. According to Sakura you should be on good terms with a girls family so he should present himself at her house.
"Hello Sai."
"Hello Ms. Lovely."
"Honestly Sai you should stop calling me that, haven't you got a different nickname for me? One that's shorter."
Sai stopped to think for a moment, whilst Ino looked on hopefully He must have come to my house to ask me something. I wonder if he's going to ask me out, well that'd probably never happen but I wonder why he's here as she thought this her argument with Sakura from the day before floated into her head Shit I bet it's something to do with that,
"Okay, Gorgeous." (I got this from wikipedia so I didn't think it up myself)
She could feel herself becoming flustered as red began to appear in her cheeks. She spoke nervously when she spoke this time.
"Wow, h - how flattering. But shouldn't you think of a more...normal nickname."
"I see no reason to do so, because you are gorgeous."
At this Ino went silent and bright red. Sai continued to look into her eyes, Sakura said it is always good to compliment a girl. Oh my God I can't believe he just said that, is he serious. He's looking at me so intensely he can't be lying As he continued to stare into her eyesshe looked away unable to cope with his intense gaze. As she kept her head down Sai spoke,
"You know its best..."
Sai put his hand on Ino's chin and softly guided her head till it was parallel with his,
"...to look someone in the eyes when you ask them a question."
It was also Sakura's advice to treat girls gently, they don't like a boy that to forceful.
"Ino if you're free later on, would you like to go out together?"
At these words Ino let out squeal Oh my God I can't believe what he just asked me! A date! OhmyGodOhmyGod! Wait I need to answer.
"I – I love you – I mean I'd love to."
"Thank you, I'll come back and pick you up at two thirty."
One of the last parts of Sakura's advice was that you should start a date in the early afternoon rather than the evening (earlier experience with Naruto had taught her this) If you start in the afternoon then you have the evening to do whatever you want rather than having to do it in the dead of night.

When they had finished they're date at the movies (Do they have movie places in Konoha, they must have cos' I remember episode 101 of Naruto when they were following Kakashi he saw a 'Make out Tactics' Movie poster, also in the first Naruto Movie they watched the rainbow princess movie at the beginning) Ino decided that they should take a walk through the park, as they strolled through the park they talked about a manner of things, Ino's team, the movie that they'd just watched, what life was like for Ino at home and what it was like for Ino at the flower shop. Eventually the conversation changed,
"So Sai-kun what should we do, we've come this far into the park and it's soooo hot?"
"Well if your feeling hot why don't we take shelter under a tree?"
"A wonderful idea Sai-kun!"
As the sat under the tree they didn't talk much but Ino decided to make her move,
"Sai-kun this breeze is making me feel a little chilly why don't we move closer together?"
As Ino moved towards Sai she began to gaze at him intensely, Sai returned her gaze with a nervous smile, he could feel her face inching closer to his and he watched her eyes slowly close as she got closer Is she going to kiss me already, on our first date isn't that a bit quick, but if she feels that we're ready... With this Sai lent in and they're lips made contact. Slowly their lips caressed each other, As Sai lent forward Ino felt her back hit against the tree, as they continued to kiss, she could feel a feeling rising through her chest and lightly tickling her insides. As the embrace continued Sai was still as gentle as ever, he did not force her backwards, as his hand slipped down her waist there was an explosion of sound to the left of them, but still they continued. Until a tree was literally ripped out of the ground next to them,
"SAI! INO! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
It seemed that they would have to now, but Ino still did not want to. They slowly broke apart and Ino with a look that could kill, stared over at their disturber. Sakura stared back in disbelief before realizing that she may have destroyed a special moment, when she left the two felt very awkward. There was silence until Ino regretfully broke it,
"Sh – Shall we go home then?"
"Well only if you want too?"
"Yes I think we should..."
火火break火火
As they walked home inner Ino was in a rage damn that forehead girl she completely killed the mood I worked so hard to create! Oh well at least I got to kiss Sai-kun, he's a surprisingly good kisser, but I hope our next date will be more eventful and hopefully we won't be interrupted by annoying girls with big foreheads! Sai was making sure not to talk as he could sense the murderous intent flowing from Ino and made a mental note to warn Sakura as soon as possible. As they arrived at Ino's house, she broke the silence,
"Well this is my house (She turned to face Sai, and looked him into his eyes) I had a really good time with you Sai-kun, I hope that we can do it again."
"So do I, I really enjoyed your company. I'll make sure to ask you out again, I don't understand what it is but when I'm around you I get a warm feeling inside, you are a very special person and I like Naruto will protect my special people."
"Wow Sai-kun I also feel something special between us, I look forward to our next date but for now here's something special..."
She leaned in and gave Sai a swift kiss on the lips, then went inside to her house (where she would receive a LOT of haggling from her mother about her date.
火火break火火
(once again I have forgotten about Naruto completely, but if I had skipped all the Sai Ino stuff it would have been awkward them just kissing, anyways what have Naruto and Hinata been up to it's a love triangle and she's only just arrived, so it's time to triangulate)
As Naruto raced through the forest with a blushing Hinata in is arms he suddenly stopped,
"Hinata are we heading in the right direction?"
Hinata on the other hand was in a daze from being suddenly swept up by Naruto, the words seemed to float through her mind Naruto-kun is so brave, racing to meet an unknown foe just for the sake of me,
"Hinata!"
"Uh – I – y – yes!"
"Good, you should try to stay conscious, if you become unconscious then it will be troublesome to find them and I owe them a beatdown!"
What is this feeling As Naruto's mind struggled to comprehend what he was feeling his body still moved this feeling, I felt this before when Hinata was fighting Neji, and again when she lost. I got it again just know when I heard about the people that had defeated her, what could it be? Could it be that...? No it couldn't be, the one I love is Sakura-chan, but still... As they arrived at a clearing Hinata spoke,
"We're close, let me use my Byakugan to pinpoint them, I think I can walk now so you can put me down."
As he let her down he blushed as his hand accidentally touched her ass Shit damn she got a fine ass (last time seriously this completely kills the mood)
As she got down she was a bit unsteady but she managed to straighten herself up,
"Byakugan."
As she activated it she could not help but notice a small feeling that was emanating from Naruto, it was a feeling that shocked and excited Hinata, what she could feel was that Naruto liked her, whilst Hinata had trained she had also figured out peoples feelings, this was great for finding people as if they were feeling a particular emotion then they would be easier to find, in the case of these Sound missing-nins she was searching for killing intent as she scanned she saw,
"Half a mile southeast they're both there, I can't see anybody else though."
"I doubt that they'd have killed them yet."
"I...I hope so..."
In truth Naruto had no idea if they were dead yet but he just hoped that they weren't. He felt that he had to say something, anything to comfort her. Why? Because he was the only one who could.

(To be honest I did this on a whim, I needed something to put in between them talking then and arriving at the enemy so I'll put a scene with Neji and Tenten)
As the sun began to set Neji and Tenten lay in the lush green pastures on the outskirts of Konoha, as they lay there they watched the sun slowly set,
"Neji I had a wonderful time today"
"So did I, I never knew you were such a fun person to be with"
"I wish we could go somewhere tomorrow but we have a mission"
"We still have until the sun sets, what could we do in that time?"
As Neji turned to look at Tenten he saw flames of passion burning in her beautiful brown eyes, as she shuffled closer to him she spoke slowly,
"I don't know, we're so far away from anywhere what is there that two people can do...alone?"
"Well seeing as we're both already here we might as well..."
He trailed off at the end part unable to put his desires into words, but Tenten understood what he meant so decided to take the lead,
"There's nothing to be afraid of...I won't bite."
The last words were whispered into his ear. as she moved her mouth slowly towards his, he was surprised to see her moving in so quickly but he did not pull back in fact her moved in. As he did Tenten was slightly surprised,
"Face it tiger you just hit the jackpot..."
As their lips met, an Aurora weaved it's way through the sky, as if rainbow fireworks had been set off. The explosion of colour lit up the evening sky and made for a beautiful view, but a certain two people were too busy to watch.
火火break火火
"Here!"
Naruto leapt through the trees at breakneck speed,
"We!"
He sped up even more as he saw a clearing up ahead,
"Are!"
As Naruto arrived in the clearing he saw two ninja ahead of him, he looked around but saw none of the other members of her team, nor her sensei. As he pushed the worst case scenario out of his mind he spoke to Hinata,
"Is that them?"
"Y – Yes."
"I see – he steps forward – Who the hell are you people?"
The two ninja looked over at Naruto, as they did he saw the one with black hair form the tiger seal,
"Kokuangyo no Jutsu"
At these words complete darkness covered Naruto, he could not see anything. The darkness pressed on his eyes and choked his throat and chest. As he stood there he saw nothing around him,
"H – Hinata!"
The words had barely escaped his constricted body but they met deaf ears for the same had happened to Hinata,
"N – Naruto-kun..."
"You children are a thousand years to young to battle me on equal footing."
As she said this Naruto and Hinata in unison felt blades pierce their backs.
"W – what!"
Naruto fell forwards and was pinned down by the female's sword. As he looked to his left he saw that Hinata shared the same fate,
"Hi – Hinata!"
As the female thrust the blade even deeper into Naruto's back he vomited blood over the tree, as he looked down he saw three bodies on the ground,
"Shino...Kiba...Akamaru!"
He could not tell whether they were alive or dead but he knew that they could still save them,
"I think it's time eh Hinata?"
"Y - Yes
With a puff of smoke both Hinata and Naruto disappeared,
"Kage Bunshin..."
As the female ninja pulled her sword from the tree and she looked around the area,
"They've fled"
火火break火火
As Naruto landed beside a tree he placed down Hinata beside him before collapsing into the tree. He was breathing deeply as he sat there. Hinata was still shocked at what she'd seen, Naruto thought that it'd be smart to send a few Kage Bunshins to test their abilities but after seeing both of them freeze then get stabbed in the back by the females Kage Bunshins, they knew they weren't ordinary. The most shocking thing was that both her and the man had those eyes. The eyes that Sasuke and Itachi shared.
"Dammit, what the hell happened? And how the fuck do they have Sharingan's?"
His comment appeared to be ignored, Hinata was staring blankly into space.
"Hinata..."
As he continued to watch he saw tree roots appear at her feet, he watched in disbelief as a tree began to grow at her feet tightening and constricting around her body but all the time Hinata did not move. As she looked down slowly she realized, Magen: Jubaku Satsu, this is Kurenai-sensei's technique how do they know it, wait a minute that means!
"Hinata!"
Naruto watched as the female slowly moved in on Hinata,
"You should be more worried about what I'm going to do to you."
Naruto quickly turned around to see, the man who looked so similar to him form the tiger seal,
"Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Wait this is the same thing that Kakashi-sensei used against that guy from Akatsuki! Then I could get sent to another dimension just like he did. Shit! SHIT! I need to save Hinata too SHIT! As Naruto had a split second to decide how to grab Hinata and escape he saw the eye's of his opponent as he looked on he was suddenly frozen by his gaze,
"Tsukiyomi!"
As Naruto looked on he saw around him become pitch blackness, it was soon replaced with an even more bizarre landscape, that sported a red moon a rainbow coloured sky and purple sea beneath him, as he looked down he was suddenly engulfed by the sea and sent rocketing downwards till he reached the sea floor were he was crushed by the pressure of the water but for some reason he could still breath, he fought against the pressure of the water to get above the sea but alas he could not,
"Here I make the rules, if I wish it then I can take away all your senses, your ability to breathe underwater, anything."
As Naruto stared on in disbelief as water began to fill his lungs he suddenly felt a tree similar to the one that had just bound Hinata form around him, What the fuck! Am I going to die here! I can't die here I still have so much to do, I must save Hinata! And Sasuke! Sakura-chan's relying on me so is Tsunade-sama! Not now! Not here! I can't die! But regardless of how much he willed it he could still feel the water filling his lungs and the life being squeezed out of his body,
"If you're dying now then there's no chance of you surviving the next stage, I will show you the woman you love killed in front of your very eyes over and over for the next 36 hours."
As a cold laugh filled the air Naruto looked around and saw swirling around him millions of cherry blossoms. Then as suddenly as they had appeared they vanished showing Naruto the same crooked landscape he saw before but this time the man was replaced with,
"Bwakuwa-bwan!"
The water around Naruto's throat was still choking him the words had just barely escaped his throat before the force of the water put him to his knees. As he fell he saw a sword pierce through Sakura's heart,
The mortal bonds that tie us...
As she was forced forward by the blade he saw an electric current pass through her body, he then looked up to the wielder of the sword to see,
"SASUKE!"
...they are what hold us back from true power...
As he looked into Sasuke's eyes he saw what Sasuke had become, he had become what after seeing Haku die for Zabuza, Naruto had never hoped to become.
...a shinobi is supposed to be...
The one thing that Naruto detested becoming since being a ninja.
...an emotionless tool, that is why Naruto...
Sasuke stepped over Sakura's dead body towards Naruto
...today I sever those ties...
火火End of Chapter notes火火
Wow that was loooooooooong I got writers block three times before finishing this, I tried to make it as eventful as possible sorry for the loooooooooooong Sai Ino thing I had to do it or it would have been odd we needed to see how they got there and I needed the answer to Sakura's question so two birds one stone. Also I took sooooo long with this because I was on Wikipedia looking through Naruto's relationship with Hinata to try and find something to tie them together and looking at all the Gen/Ninjutsu to see which to use. I hope this chapter is as good as no better than the last as it took a hell of a lot more work. One last note is that whilst I read this I read 7 other fanfics and that was a terrible idea because when I got writers block all that could come to my head was the ideas from other peoples stories BUT I didn't actually use any so this plot is still 100 mine and Naruto is still 100 (or however much it is) Kishi's, although I should thank wikipedia for generously compiling all that info.
P,S I talk waaaaaaaaaay too much
P.P.S I did alot of this in the early hours of the morning (when I get most of my ideas) So if some stuff doesn't make sense please notify me
