A/N: Sorry for the long update... had a handful of problems...


Orochimaru wasn't happy at all he then pointed his rifle at kakashi's face "Fine by me" in perfect cue konoha went silent for a moment then a loud gun shot was heard followed by a thud…

End of Recap

Kakashi lay on the ground motionless; a pool of his own blood began to grow beneath him, he grunted in pain, what in the hell that pushed him he thought, after realizing that someone as taken the blow that was meant for him, he glanced up to see someone bleeding, he was able to see the face, but the figure has a shape of a female, he was able to utter one word "no…"

At another part of konoha, a long haired boy is running around frantically looking for his female cousin "Hinata!" he shouted glancing around only to see dead bodies littered the streets, the sight was gruesome, he continued to run nearing the hokage tower in a fast pace "Hinata!" neiji shouted again, the only reply he got are moans of pain, he knew he had to help, but hinata was his first priority, as a hyuuga branch family member one of his duties are to protect the main branch members with their lives, he suddenly remembered hinata talking to him before naruto's funeral

Flash Back

"I see… so that's why you admire naruto so much…" neiji finished with a sad sigh for naruto is now gone, he looked to his side to see hinata crying, he pitied his cousin but he can't do a thing to ease her pain, but listen...

Neiji was about to say something, but was cut off by hinata "You know neiji-kun… now I'll do anything to see naruto again…." neiji narrowed his eyes "We all do hinata, but naruto wouldn't be happy if we take away our own lives just to see him…" neiji eased a bit when he saw the tears filled hinata's face "I'll think of a way…." she said, neiji tensed up a bit, but ignored it he moved from his position to the front of hinata and hugged her, hinata let out all her tears in his cousin's shoulder, neiji whispered lightly "It's time hinata…. It's time for his funeral" neiji said releasing his grip, "Yes…it is…." hinata said as they walk out, dressed in black….

End Flash Back

He neared an opening to see the snake sanin gritting his teeth "Damn hyuuga…", neiji thought the curse was for him but it wasn't, he looked were orochimaru was looking there he saw it, there was hinata bleeding, blood trickling down her mouth and abdomen, at that moment neiji's world stopped as tears began to fill his eyes, he failed…his duty as an branch member, as the world began to resume it's course of time, neiji took out two of his kunai and charge straight at the sanin, instead using his fingers as weapons he used the tips of his kunai like daggers…

The snake sanin was so engrossed at the image in front of him, he wasn't able to notice neiji coming close at him, soon enough he took notice, he had the receiving end of one hundred twenty eight stabs, and every single stab penetrated his smooth skin blood pouring out of his body, and every single stab he could feel the anger and rage, and every stab that penetrated his skin, he saw the vision of the hyuuga shouting while tears poured down his white eyes…

As neiji stopped his assault, he was crying, he poured all his anger, his hatred, his duty to protect hinata…, his eyes went wide "Hinata!" he shouted, hoping she is alright, as he took a full turn he saw kakashi trying to get up, he knew kakashi can last a little bit longer, he then skidded to hinata's side cradling her head "Hinata speak to me please…" neiji pleaded, hinata slightly opened her pale eyes to see tears blurring her sight, but she knew neiji is in front of her crying "Neiji-kun, I'm going to-" hinata was cut off before she could finish her sentence "No your not!" neiji said yelling, hinata just smiled warmly as coldness began to take over her frail body, Neiji was about to encourage her to live but was cut off by a yell from kakashi "Neiji watch out!" kakashi yelled but it was too late, orochimaru was still alive and still walking as he pierced neiji's back with his sword, neiji cringe in pain as the sword began to edge deeper inside his body he heard orochimaru whisper into his ear "Die…. Hyuuga…" the snake sanin hissed once before laughing wildly, kakashi wasted no time in getting a kunai then with one last effort he threw the kunai at the sanin's throat, killing him in a slow agonizing death…

The blade struck deeply into one of his organs, as neiji coughed blood "Hinata….." he said as he pulled out the sword and dropped to the ground beside his cousin facing her, hinata was on her last couple of breath before going away to see her crush once more "Neiji-kun… what… are you… doing…" hinata said as she turned her face to see her cousin "I'm… coming… with…you…" neiji said as he smiled warmly towards his cousin his tears clearly visible, hinata also smiled with her own version, neiji lightly held the hands of his cousin with his own, in return hinata also hold on, as they both closed their eyes, asleep in eternal darkness… "I got you" a voice said as both hyugas fell into darkness…
