Another year later
Kabuto came in and dragged Hinata from her cell for another torture session. They had added more of the pain serum to her system, as she was becoming used to the pain. They were to figure out the Tenseigan. After this new pain serum her entire body was on fire still. It hurt more than she had ever hurt before and then they had beat her yet again. She had now been here for over two years and had yet to hear again from Naruto. She had lost hope months ago, when they had taken 9. They had told her she was needed to keep prisoners alive at another base. 9 had told her to keep fighting, but she had lost all of her fight.
Hinata couldn't do it any longer. They had broken her, after a year and a half they had done it. They had taken her support and broken her. She no longer cared if she lived or died, she often begged Kabuto to kill her. She just couldn't take it.
She had no idea if Naruto was even looking for her anymore it had been a year since he said he would find her. Two years since she had been imprisoned in this hell hole. She had no idea if 9 was still alive, she loved the woman like a mother, and she had told her as she was drug out of the room not to worry about her. That if Hinata ever got out to stay away.
The raven haired woman had nothing left in life. She didn't think anyone would care for her anymore. Even Naruto she had lost hope in. Of course that was more because every day Kabuto transformed to look like Naruto and then beat her and tortured her. She wasn't sure what was real anymore.
Kabuto slapped her out of her thoughts before stringing her up on the metal fence again. She shook in fear, she knew what was coming they were going to electrocute and cut her again. They enjoyed doing that. First they would probably pour boiling water on her to make her skin burn like the serum in her veins. Then they would hook her up to a generator as Kabuto touched her with his disgusting hands. Then the pain would start. She trembled once again in fear as Kabuto brought in a bin of water. She was to be conductive afterall.
…
Naruto returned home to Konoha after 2 years of training and being gone, he was to report to the new Hokage, Tsunade, before doing anything else. Naruto sighed, this didn't feel like home, but that didn't matter much, he wouldn't be here long, as soon as he reported to Tsunade he would be trying to leave again, preferably on a search mission for Hinata. Although he did want to stop in and see Kakashi, Anko, and Shikamaru. He went straight to Hokage tower, he entered in through the window and grinned as he saw Tsunade.
"Granny you wanted to see me?" Naruto asked.
Tsunade turned to him with a tick mark on her forehead, "Naruto I am your Hokage, not a grandma."
Naruto grinned, "Fine, Lady Tsunade, you wished to see me? " He said cheekily.
"How was your training Naruto?" Tsunade asked him.
"It was good, I learned a lot from the perv and Itachi." Naruto replied to her before getting a serious look in his eyes, "Still no Hinata though, any word on a possible whereabouts? I plan on being in town for a day then going out on my own to find her."
Tsunade looked at him, "Naruto there has been nothing from Orochimaru, not a peep he is keeping quiet. We have been sending teams out to search since you left, yet nothing has been found no clues the trail has gone completely cold."
Naruto nodded and sighed, I have some investigating I would like to do. If that is alright with you."
Tsunade sighed, "Naruto, you and the rest of team 7 are Ninjas of the hidden leaf village, you have all had two years off of no missions. I will need you to start taking missions. I'm sorry but we don't even know if Hinata is alive anymore. I need your team's strength. You are the strongest team in the leaf village. I need you for missions."
Naruto growled, "Sorry Tsunade but I can't leave Hinata."
Tsunade nodded, "I agree, but while we are looking for information on her, you will be going on missions. While you are on missions if you investigate something go for it, as long as the missions are completed I don't give a damn."
"No, I refuse to leave her to them." He ground out through gritted teeth.
Tsunade was about to say something else, when someone burst through the door, "Lady Tsunade! The Kazekage, Lord Gaara has been kidnapped, we believe by the Akatsuki. The Sand village is requesting immediate aid."
Naruto's eyes were wide, "I am going, Gaara is my friend, I will get Kakashi, Anko, and Shikamaru immediately."
Tsunade was about to say something, but Naruto was already gone. A clone met with Shikamaru informing him to meet at the gate while Naruto found Kakashi and Anko at his house.
"Kakashi, Anko, we have a mission. We have to go now. Gaara has been taken." With that Naruto disappeared into his room to get ready himself.
Team 7 plus Anko met at the gate and they all headed for the desert.
Naruto got to catch up with the group a little as they went, he hadn't seen them in a long time, he was surprised to find out that Shikamaru had been trained by Hiruzen Sarutobi himself. He had also picked up a summoning contract with the monkeys.
Anko was back to good health, having been training with Kakashi she was even better than she had been before being injured. Kakashi, Naruto could sense that Kakashi was stronger. On a new level than before, probably close to Jiraiya's level. Not quite at Itachi's level however.
They finally got to the Sand village and entered into the village and were taken to the hospital.
Kankuro, the puppet user sat there dying. Naruto cursed, "Anko, you are good with poisons, I will need your help. I was taught some healing jutsu's when I was away."
Naruto began to heal Kankuro, pumping in a large amount of healing chakra. "I was taught to just use a ton of chakra and try to save people through straight brute strength." Naruto pumped a small amount of Kurama's chakra into Kankuro. The man screamed in pain and the sand ninja stepped towards Naruto but Shikamaru stopped everyone in the room, connecting to their shadows. "Let him work people."
Naruto continued pumping more of Kurama's chakra into him, before using his chakra and pulling the poison out. He put it into a bowl before handing it to Anko, hurry the poison is held off for now, but I need you to make an antidote."
Anko nodded before Kakashi walked over to him, grabbed him and pulled him to the side, "When the hell did you learn medical jutsu?"
"Hanara taught a clone as I was training with Itachi, I can't do the intricate stuff, but with Kurama's help I can do a little more. The basic behind it is I pump so much chakra into them that it heals them and can keep them alive. But as far as healing bones, and things of that nature I don't have the control needed. I just have the raw chakra amount to keep them alive and heal large wounds." Naruto told him quietly.
Shikamaru was with Temari talking to her, "It's okay Temari, your brothers will be fine."
Temari nodded before grabbing his hand and pulling him to a separate part of the hospital away from everyone. She started crying, "Shikamaru they are going to kill my brother. I know they will, and who knows if Kankuro will live."
Shikamaru hugged her, thinking back to earlier that week.
Flash Back
Temari had come to the Leaf Village as a diplomat, and Shikamaru had been assigned to assist her with anything she needed, as part of his training with Sarutobi, he had to become a proper diplomat. The two got along quite well, they were both smart and the two had come to play a lot of Shogi. Of course they bet on it to make it more fun. "This next game, if I win, you have to go on a date with me." Shikamaru had told the girl.
"After that last match, there is no way you can beat me." Temari told him.
Shikamaru grinned, he had not been trying, in fact he had let her win so that he could do this, "Well if you are so confident make it a date and a kiss."
Temari grinned, "Let's do it, you don't stand a chance."
They had played and Shikamaru had won, with ease. Temari realized she had been tricked, and the two had gone on the date. She spoke very highly of her brothers that night.
Shikamaru sighed holding her tight as spoke to him. She leaned her head up and kissed her.
"Shikamaru, you have a get Gaara back"
Shikamaru grinned, "You know I will. If anyone can it is this team. Naruto and Kakashi at this point are two of the strongest ninja Konoha has at their disposal."
Temari nodded before the two slid down the wall sitting together in the corner with Temari sitting in Shikamaru's lap.
Meanwhile Chiyo had just seen Kakashi and attacked him immediately, thinking he was the White fang. Several ninja had to stop her from attacking him as he wouldn't attack her himself.
"I'm not the White fang, that was my father. I am Kakashi Hatake, of Konoha, son of the White Fang." Kakashi introduced himself as Chiyo finally calmed down.
…
Hours later Naruto, Kakashi, Chiyo, Anko, and Shikamaru left, trailing after the trail Gaara's kidnappers had taken.
"Kakashi, we are taking too long." Naruto growled. "Would you like for me to go ahead and stall?"
Kakashi took a moment, "That's risky Naruto, if they caught you and got away as well it would spell even more trouble."
Naruto nodded, "It is for the Kazekage though. If they kill Gaara then it could spell trouble for the Leaf. What if the next Kazekage is not as friendly to the Leaf?"
Kakashi nodded, "Go on ahead Naruto, we will catch up as soon as we can. Give me a flash kunai so you can retreat to me."
Naruto nodded handed Kakashi the Kunai then sped off past the group.
Naruto went through hand seals with the last seal a new one, the fox seal. "Fox style: Tracking!" His smelling and hearing became extremely acute. He continued tracking the group.
Finally Naruto came upon the group, Saori, and Deidara. Naruto shook his head, those two were bad news. But Naruto knew he could handle them stalling wise.
Naruto went through more hand seals," Shadow Clone Flash Jutsu!" 5 clones flashed into existence surrounding the field using a combination of the Flying Thunder God jutsu as well as the shadow clone jutsu.
Naruto then threw a tri-pronged kunai at Gaara. His first clone appeared catching it and grabbing Gaara before disappearing the next clone appeared in front of Deidara and Sasori. They charged him immediately but as soon as they hit him the clone exploded.
Deidara jumped back, "Damn! What an explosion! What art is this!"
Naruto appeared next to him crushing a foot into his face, only for it to turn into clay and start to explode. Naruto cursed and flashed back to his kunai blocking a strike from Sasori's tail before jumping back pulling out Kitsune and charging at Sasori.
"Deidara this is the 9-tails Jinchuuriki, do not kill him, incapacitate him but don't kill him."
Naruto appeared next to Sasori blocking his tail strikes with Kitsune before lighting Kitsune on fire with his fire chakra. The next strike he blocked lit Sasori's tail on fire. He turned and fired a kunai with lightning chakra on it through the giant clay bird coming at him it bubbled before dropping to the ground melting.
Naruto threw a tri-pronged kunai at Sasori it stabbed into his body with a thunk as Naruto appeared grabbing the Kunai and ripping it out before flipping and slamming a Rasengan into him. The body shattered and Naruto dove backwards dodging the poison kunai as he saw a smaller redheaded man. The real Sasori.
Naruto jumped back gaining distance from the two of them.
"I have reinforcements on the way. They will be here within minutes. Leave now and we won't chase you." Naruto told them, trying to end this mission without risking the lives of his team.
Sasori laughed, "We are better off not showing up at all then showing up empty handed."
Naruto sighed, he figured that would be the case.
Deidara took to the sky on one of his clay birds as Sasori pulled out multiple puppets. Naruto began dodging attacks from all angles, flipping and diving out of the way. Naruto was unable to mount an attack as he was too busy dodging. But that was fine, he was just stalling. Out of nowhere Kakashi appeared striking Deidara out of the air with a flying roundhouse kick.
Shikamaru and Anko charged after Sasori.
"Anko, Shikamaru Sasori uses poisons. Capture him alive if you could, his spy network is as expansive and useful as Jiraiya's, he may have information helpful to us." Naruto told them before flashing away to Kakashi.
He landed next to Kakashi falling into step with the man as they ran towards Deidara.
"Where is Chiyo?" Naruto asked the older man.
"She took Gaara and headed back towards the Sand Village. Her top priority was to retrieve Gaara. We can handle these guys on our own." Kakashi told the blonde.
Naruto nodded, "I figured as much. Good, I feel like she would only get in our team's way. I will create a distraction and stop him."
With that Naruto summoned Hinata's bow to his left hand and fired an arrow straight into the air. All the arrows had Naruto's flying Thunder God seal on them. Naruto flashed to it high up in the air and drew back more arrows firing 3 at once at Deidara.
He flashed to the first arrow catching it, running lightning chakra through it before stabbing it into the bird making it melt and Deidara started to fall before Naruto grabbed the next arrow firing it at Deidara with lightning chakra coursing through it. It hit Deidara and he melted showing it was a c4 clone. Naruto took the next arrow fired it into the ground and flashed to it. Landing and smirking as Kakashi ran arrows lightning blade through another clone.
Deidara showed up in the middle of them breathing hard.
"Fuck You guys, I will show you true art!" Deidara screamed as he shot up into the air on another bird before dropping a large clay clone of himself down towards them.
Naruto flashed through hand seals, "Time Barrier Jutsu!" He yelled as he held a tri-pronged kunai out in front of him. A barrier appeared between Kakashi, himself and Deidara. The giant clone falling into the barrier as Naruto threw the kunai above Deidara. A new barrier opened from the kunai above Deidara and the clone bomb fell right on top of him.
Naruto flashed to Kakashi and grabbed him before flashing away from the explosion.
After making sure Deidara was dead, Naruto grabbed Kakashi again and flashed to Anko and Shikamaru.
Anko and Shikamaru were dodging and running around the puppets he had sent at them, Shikamaru was being very careful to watch all of Sasori's movements, every move his fingers made Shikamaru watched. He thought he had it down, he signaled to Anko it was time to trap the man. Anko nodded and dodged towards Sasori. She went through hand seals and shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!" hundreds of smaller snakes shot out from her hands slithering after Sasori.
Sasori jumped back and one of his puppets rained fire down towards them. Anko grimaced and reversed summoned them, trying to keep them from dying. She was then back on the defensive but it was just enough.
Sasori landed in Shikamaru's shadow and Shikamaru held him there, before working his own fingers making Sasori have his own puppets destroy each other. A second later and Naruto and Kakashi appeared, "Ah, good y'all are done."
He stood in front of Sasori, "Your spy network, do you have anyone on the inside of any of Orochimaru's bases. He kidnapped a friend of mine a while ago. Hinata Hyuga. Give me a location and you will be let free."
Sasori looked at him, "How will you know if I am telling the truth?"
Naruto nodded, "Right well, I will hold onto you until I find her."
Naruto summoned a toad, "This is a toad summon, Jiraiya uses them to trick people into their stomachs where they can be held until he says to let them go or is done with them, or in this case I let you go. Here is the deal you give me the information I want, or I take it from you, Anko here works closely with the Torture and Interrogation unit in Konoha. She will gladly take it from you."
Sasori nodded, "Very well then, yes I know where this Hyuga is being held. I have multiple men inside of his organization, Kabuto used to be one of them. Though he no longer reports to me. He turned on me, but I have other men in his organizations."
Naruto nodded, "This is a plus for you then, Kabuto is a target of mine."
Sasori nodded and told Naruto the location of the base, and Naruto put him in the toad for safe keeping before taking off.
Kakashi cursed as the group took off after him. "Naruto, slow down. We should get reinforcements first."
Naruto shook his head, "I am not risking Orochimaru having someone inside in Konoha and finding out we are coming and move her again. I will not leave her with that Snake to be tortured any longer. Fuck no! If you don't want to come then don't I will do it myself."
Kakashi sighed, "No that makes sense for once we are all coming with you. Let's take down this Snake."
