Gonna be a short chapter. I really have to just improvise here
Chapter 10: Two Plots Revealed
Naruto and Lithak finally made their way back to the Hyuuga residence. Neji was relieved to find that Hinata was safe. They made their way to her bedroom, and layed her on the bed. "You just can't seem to get a break, can you?" Naruto joked. Lithak took a spare second to glare at him.
As if on cue, the wall exploded, launching everyone into the wall, inclung Hinata. Through the smoke, Lithak saw a figure. Another figure stepped beside it. As the smoke clear, the figures were revealed. "It can't be," said Naruto, "I killed you back in the fire country."
"Then you should have made sure I stayed dead," said Orochimaru. "Though, I have Kabuto here to thank for that." Orochimaru chuckled, "I've been watching you for quite some time now, Naruto and Lithak."
"Don't tell me," Naruto said, "You're here for Hinata, right." Orochimaru shook his head, "Not quite, Naruto. You see, I'm here to reclaim a creation of mine. He is, in most way's possible, my son." Orochimaru pointed to Lithak, "Come with me."
Lithak shook his head. He then pulled himself to his feet. "Let me show you the fault of your plan," Lithak said. He lowered into his stance, and leaped for Orochimaru. Kabuto jumped in front of his master, but was knocked to the side. "Naruto, deal with Kabuto," said Lithak. "Gladly," answered Naruto.
"Are you sure you're ready for me, Naruto?" mocked Kabuto. "You aren't gonna beat me, Kabuto," replied Naruto. Kabuto lunged fowards, striking Naruto's chest with his palm. Naruto cringed, but spun around, going with his hand, minimizing damage. He took advantage of his situation to knock Kabuto off his feat. Before Kabuto could get up, Naruto twirled throught he air, about a foot about the ground, and slammed his palm into Kabuto's chest. "Rasengan," said Naruto.
Now, for those unfamiliar with the nature of Rasengan, apart from spin, there is also foward motion as well. Normally, the Rasengan is used to shoot the enemy fowards. However, Kabuto is pinned to the ground. So, instead of the force going straight, it get's diluted throughout the body, maximizing damage.
Needless to say, Naruto's fight was now over. Kabuto cripled against the wall.
Meanwhile, Lithak had his hands busy with Orochimaru. "You might be my creator. That doesn't make you my owner." Orochimaru smirked. He was going to end this in one move. He fell into my Devil Whisperer stance. Suddenly, I lunged, "Demon Combo." I began to randomly hit pressure points on his body. Orochi tried to stop the blows, but with no success. Even when his arm got in the way of the blow, it would seem to just curve around his arm, ironically enough, like a snake. Lithak leaped backwards, charged a bit of Onimaru Chakra, and leaped foward, "Secret Demon Fist." Just as it was about to impact, Orochi grabbed his hand. "You've managed to fend us off this time. But you won't be so lucky again," he said. With that, Orochi grabbed Kabuto, and ran off. "Let him go," said Lithak, "he'll be back. In the meantime, held me get HInata back into a good resting position."
They found Hinata a nice place in the living room. By now, the authorities had arrived. "What happened here?" asked the ANBU. "Isn't it obvious?" muttered Lithak, "Orochimaru came here for Byakugan. He couldn't steal it from Neji, because of the Cursed Seal, so he tried Hinata. Itachi and Kisame were here too, same objective." he sighed, "Hinata, why not come to my place? You can get some proper rest there. Without any ANBU interuption." An ANBU overheard their coversation. He looked at them, and said, "That won't be possible. She must stay here for questioning." "No," said Lithak, "if she's got anything important, she'll tell me." "If you try to leave here without permission, we'll have to apprehend you," said the ANBU. Lithak sighed, giving the ANBU a look, and picking up Hinata. "You can try," said Lithak, walking off. "Sir, you can't leave," said the ANBU, reaching for a dart in his pouch. "Sir," he said, "please, let us go. I if you want to ask any questions, come to my house tonight, after I've had some time alone with Hinata." The ANBU sighed, and nodded. "Good," muttered Lithak, turning and leaving.
On their way to his house, Hinata spoke. "Lithak..." she said, "you shouldn't have said anything to that ANBU." He sighed, and smiled, "Hinata. I'm gonna be the one to look after you properly. That's not their job. Besides... they don't love you. They look out for you, but they aren't in love with you." He smiled, leaning in to kiss her. "We'll finish this at my place," he muttered.
