Six hours had passed since Orochimaru and Kabuto had left the facility and Hinata was struggling, she was struggling against the ropes that so expertly held her. It was no use and it was only hurting her more, but she couldn't stop, to sit still hurt almost as much and gave her no chance to get out of her bonds. She was crying and gritting her teeth in pain as she struggled. The rope rubbing against her raw skin didn't help either. It burned like no other.
9 was trying to get her to stop, "Hinata, please you must stop moving! it will only make it worse!"
"I can't breathe I feel like I am suffocating. I hurt so much, my entire body stings, please please untie me and heal me. I am begging you." Hinata choked out.
The woman looked at her worried, "Hinata I want to I do, but you heard what they said, if I do, you will receive worse than this."
Hinata's tears didn't stop, "Then kill me! It just has to stop! I need any reprieve I can get."
The woman grimaced, "Hinata please never say that! it will get better I promise! it will be okay."
Hinata shuddered, "They can't do much worse than this, they really can't. Please just end the pain one way or another."
The woman shook her head, "What would Naruto say to you asking me to kill you?"
Hinata stopped struggling at that, "What?"
The woman knew she had something, "Naruto, from what you tell me, his policy is to never give up, no matter how bad it gets. So what would he say to you giving up!"
Hinata started shaking, she was crying hard now, "He doesn't care! He won't ever care for me again. Look at me! How could anyone love this. I am becoming a monster. I don't even look human anymore."
The woman was taken aback, "Hinata," Her voice lowered, "I love you, you have become like a daughter to me. The child I always wanted but could never have. Please Hinata, just fight through it. Naruto would never turn on you."
Hinata stopped for a moment, "How do you know?"
The woman grinned, "I get a really good feeling when I think about him, and from what you told me he seems like the kind of person who would never give up on you. Like his parents raised him right. Plus Hinata, I can heal most of these scars. I got pretty good at healing them with my own."
Hinata looked at her, "Naruto was orphaned on the day he was born. He never had parents."
The woman felt a pain in her chest that she couldn't explain, she didn't know where it came from. Nevertheless she smiled at Hinata, "I think Naruto will come for you. Hinata, I am sorry by the way."
Hinata turned her head and looked at the woman as best as she could, "What for?"
9 grimaced and placed two fingers against the back of Hinata's head, she sent a pulse of chakra through the girl, knocking her out. "There sweet child, I made the pain stop. It is only a short reprieve. She then sat down and cried, she really did see Hinata as her daughter after the past weeks, getting to know her she loved the girl. She really felt for her too, this was worse than what Orochimaru had ever done to her.
Twelve hours later Hinata woke up in the back of a caravan of some sort, she looked around she could tell they were moving, but had no idea where. The next thing she noticed is that for some reason she was no longer tied in that horrid shrimp tie that Kabuto had put her in. She was still bound, her hands behind her back, and her feet were tied as well, and both ropes were connected to a hook in the ground, she sighed she knew she wasn't going anywhere. She looked over and saw 9 tied up and unconscious as well.
"9 wake up." She spoke up.
The woman woke up immediately, "Hinata, what's wrong?"
Hinata looked around her, "What happened?"
9 grinned sheepishly, "I knocked you unconscious, to relieve the pain, I also got to heal you a bit, feeling better?"
Hinata nodded, she was feeling slightly better, she still needed a lot of healing, she could tell but she was feeling better, her back, legs, and neck were still sore from the shrimp tie, but she was feeling better.
9 continued, "Best part is you won't get in trouble at all, there was an emergency alert and we had to be moved to a new lair, but I convinced Orochimaru's goons that you wouldn't survive being moved in that tie, nor if you weren't healed a little first."
Hinata smiled, "Thank you, but why are we being moved?"
9 grinned, "Well according to them, I overheard the goons talking about it, Orochimaru told them that Kimimaro, a top agent of his has defected to the leaf, so we had to be moved in case Kimimaro gave up our location. They said that apparently some leaf ninja convinced him to turn on Orochimaru, that the ninja then tore Kabuto to pieces. You may have a reprieve for a couple weeks if that is the case."
Hinata nodded, kind of down that they wouldn't be rescued any time soon but she had a feeling Naruto was responsible for this. "Where are we going?"
9 shrugged, "One of Orochimaru's many many bases. He has thousands throughout the elemental nations, we are probably going to one that Kimimaro doesn't know about.
They finally stopped after another hour, the two women were ripped out of the caravan and taken to a room with a bed in it. Kabuto was laying in the bed groaning in pain, his body was completely disconfigured.
Orochimaru spoke up, "9 Heal him now."
The redhead shook her head, "No. Not until I heal her completely."
Orochimaru was outraged, "What the fuck did you just say to me? I will put you through worse than I did that little mutt if you don't heal him."
9 looked at him defiantly, "Then fucking do it. You know I'm not scared of your fucking torture anymore, you have put me through everything already. You have taken everything from me already. Now until she is healed I will not be healing Kabuto. End of story. Do whatever the fuck you want to me, but he is going to stay like that for a while unless Hinata gets healed."
Orochimaru was furious but he nodded, "Fine take her, heal her. Kabuto will just fuck her up again and again. Heal her if you want. When you are done a guard will escort you here you will heal him. Then you will be punished for your insolence."
9 nodded and left with Hinata being escorted by a guard back to a new cell to call home.
The woman began to immediately heal Hinata, as Hinata stared at her wide eyed.
"Why did you do that? He is going to hurt you now. You didn't have to do that." Hinata asked the woman.
The woman grinned a sweet motherly grin at Hinata, "Don't worry about me sweetie, I will be fine, I can take it, it's been 16 years of this shit for me, there isn't anything left that that bastard hasn't done to me." After a few hours the woman finally stopped, "There sweetheart that is all I can do for you now. I have to go heal Kabuto, but don't worry, he won't be back up and walking for the next three week after those wounds. Even if I heal him, just like you shouldn't be up and moving. Please lay down so you can heal properly."
Hinata nodded, tears in her eyes, the woman was about to take a beating for her.
9 was escorted out of the cell and to Kabuto.
Hinata was woken about 6 hours later as the same henchman dropped 9 into the cell, her body in a terrible condition. She had taken a true beating. The damage done was mostly broken bones and a cuts across her body, but there were other signs of assault and torture that Hinata didn't want to even think about. Hinata grimaced as she crawled over to the woman who had saved her for the time being. 9 looked up at her and grinned as Hinata started to cry.
"H-hey, calm down, I-I will be fine, I j-just need to s-sleep, then I-I can h-heal myself. I-I will be f-fine. 9 passed out after she said that, with Hinata holding her head in her lap as the woman slept, Hinata cried.
Jiraiya and Kimimaro traveled to the base that Kimimaro had come from but it was too late, "Orochimaru must have raised the alarm long before he got here, that is protocol he probably didn't even come back here. I am truly sorry Jiraiya. Had I known he was doing this I would have stopped him," Jiraiya nodded, and he Itachi, Hanara and Kimimaro went through the base looking for any clues and documenting it.
When they got to the torture room Jiraiya almost got sick. He couldn't believe the kind of devices that were in this room. He took pictures and went through the tools in the room. He took blood samples, and fluid samples from the fluids he found around the room. Jiraiya sighed the room had been used in the last three days and hadn't been cleaned yet. It was disgusting honestly. Even Itachi who was as hardcore as anyone was disgusted, he and Jiraiya had seen more shit in their life than most people combined, and they were both disgusted.
Hanara found the cells, they had left less important prisoners in their cells, but they had all been executed hours ago. Jiraiya sighed shaking his head, this place was terrible.
Kimimaro wept after seeing everything, he couldn't believe Orochimaru had been this cruel, he was always good to him. This however was more than he could take.
Hanara sobbed for her niece Hinata, whose mom had been Hanara's much older sister. Her poor niece was literally in hell. They finally made their reports and found everything there was to find, Jiraiya had a toad fill the place with oil and then lit a fire jutsu burning the entire underground base to nothing so it could never be used for this hell again.
Naruto woke up finally in the Konoha hospital, everything came back to him and he shot out of bed and headed to the Hokage tower immediately. He broke through the door to the Hokage's office.
"Old man! we need to talk." Naruto shouted out as he barged in.
"Ah, Naruto, good you should hear this too." Hiruzen ground out.
Naruto looked at the other man in the room, he cursed under his breath, "Lord Hiashi, excuse me please, I didn't know you would be in here."
Hiashi grinned at him, though he could tell there was no happiness behind the grin.
"Naruto, please no need for such formalities when it is just us. Congratulations by the way on winning the Chuunin exams final. It was quite an impressive feat to take down a tailed beast and then take down a talented Uchiha, and that is after beating Neji. Everyone was astounded."
Naruto nodded, "Thank you, I did it for Hinata, if it wasn't for you, I would not have even fought, not with Hinata missing like she is."
Hiashi nodded, and then Hiruzen spoke up, "Naruto before we continue, what is it that you needed?"
Naruto looked at him serious, "I am leaving, please give me permission to go and find Hinata. I have been the good ninja for too long now, I am done with that. I have to find her now."
Hiruzen nodded, "I need you to wait a little longer Naruto, Jiraiya is on his was back with Kimimaro, Kimimaro is giving us a list of every base of Orochimaru's that he knows of. You will be going with Jiraiya and traveling to every single location and searching for information. You will also be training during this time, understand."
Naruto nodded, "Fine. I will find her Hiashi."
Hiashi nodded and got up dismissing himself and leaving. Naruto sat down and leaned forward, his hands on his knees and his head in his hands. Tears started falling.
"Old man, she is being tortured."
Hiruzen nodded, "Anko was sent a package, it contained pictures of Hinata being tortured. Orochimaru sent them to hurt Anko psychologically. I'm sorry Naruto, even if you do find her, she may never be the same."
Naruto shook his head, "She is strong. Stronger than most people think, she will be okay. Even if she does change, it won't make any difference. I will be here for her. I just want her back. Let me see the pictures."
Hiruzen shook his head, "You don't need to see them Naruto. Please trust me."
Naruto looked him in the eyes, "If I hadn't pushed her away she would never have gone to that bastard Kabuto, I need to see the pain I caused her. Give them to me."
Hiruzen shook his head, "No Naruto, that is an order from your Hokage. Seeing those pictures will do you no good. You should go check in on Anko and Kakashi, then get some rest. Jiraiya will be here soon."
Naruto nodded glaring at him and left.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
Sorry to everyone that wanted Hinata rescued now. There will not be very much torture written though. You all get the gist of what is happening to her.
As far as why 9 didn't try to get herself and Hinata released, or get no more torture ever for Hinata in return for her healing Kabuto, she isn't stupid Orochimaru would never go for either of those and would have laughed, possibly said okay then went back on it. This was Hinata was saved some pain, but Kushina took it instead. Next chapter you will find out if Anko is going to be healed or not!
