"DAMNIT!" Tsunade yelled as she punched through a tree, her and Jiraiya were talking and she wasn't happy. It was late at night and she was trying to get down to the bottom about what the hell had happened today. S

"I sent him on a mission, yet I have dozens of witnesses' reports that they saw him kill two people. Members of the Hyuga clan. Then I have you bring Naruto into the village and he is almost dead. I have to save his life, and then put chakra suppressors on him and place him under arrest. You tell me that he fucked up on his mission, by sending a clone here, oh and I have a jinchuriiki I have to place somewhere. Naruto completed his mission but he was a complete fucking idiot. I only have two witnesses that report that Naruto was retaliating to an attack on Hinata, but they weren't there to see who the aggressor was. The villagers that were 'witnesses' say that she attacked them, forcing them to use her seal to protect themselves. Then Naruto comes up and kills one of them out of nowhere and takes off. It was a clone that Naruto gave enough chakra to flash all the way home. Leaving himself and his team vulnerable. The clone then kills another Hyuga, as the group had chased them down to catch them and hold them responsible for the murder on a Hyuga. So, who the fuck expects me to believe that a girl who has been for the last two years tortured and is broken, is on medical leave from her ninja career because of it, was stupid enough to attack a group of Hyuga main branch elders, who by the way won't give their names saying they were there, because they are 'scared of retaliation'. But somehow enough civilians were there to witness it and their stories all corroborate eachother, with minor differences that would happen naturally from different viewpoints. If it isn't true how were they able to gather so quickly?" Tsunade ranted to her old teammate and lover.

Jiraiya was leaning calmly against a tree, he scratched his chin, "Tsunade, calm down, you being upset does absolutely no good for anyone here. You must talk a calm approach at this. Think who has the ability to do this so quickly? Release the kid, he didn't do anything wrong and you know it."

Tsunade was still frustrated, "I don't have much of a choice right now. Until I can figure out exactly what happened yesterday, I can't the council will have my ass. And NO! I don't know who did this."

"It's Danzo Tsunade, how can you not see that? Do not be blind to this plot he cooked up." Jiraiya growled.

Tsunade glared at him, "YOU are blinded by your hate for the man."

"Tsunade, he is behind this, if you would have allowed me to end him, we would have a clear-cut answer. Danzo told the Hyuga elders about what Hinata told Orochimaru after he interrogated her. The elders saw this as a good excuse to brand her and make her lose her title as heiress, they never liked her and they want her as their slave. Then the Elders went after her today, trying to put her in her place. Naruto had an activation seal to warn him that Hinata's caged bird seal was activated. He created a clone and the clone came all the way back. A stupid move by Naruto, but if he hadn't who knows where she would be. Naruto got there killed the first man as a distraction, he can't risk his clone being destroyed, he had to save Hinata. The Hyuga's tried to catch him and they did. One of them activated Hinata's seal again, Naruto killed him to save Hinata, again couldn't risk going for anything nonlethal and leave the opening for his clone. The elders knew they fucked up and went to Danzo for help. Danzo helped them set up this ruse."

Tsunade sighed, "You're probably right, but until someone can give me evidence and I have proof, then I can't release Naruto. Which means he stays in the horrendous condition he is in, Kurama can't help him with chakra suppressors all over him. If he does wake up it will be in pain, the hospital won't give morphine to someone suspected of murder. Even under my orders. I can't show favoritism right now. It is not okay for the Hokage, I have to treat this as if it was anyone else. Naruto is one of the most dangerous ninja I have at my disposal and has to be treated as a danger to the village until I get answers."

"He. Is. Not. A. Danger. To. The. Village." Hinata spoke determined as she jumped into the clearing, Neji right behind her.

Hinata, Neji, what are the two of you doing here?" Jiraiya asked.

"We went to the hospital, found ANBU at Naruto's room and they said that Naruto was under arrest. We immediately came and found you Lady Tsunade." Neji spoke to his leader respectfully.

Tsunade looked at Hinata, "Hinata, I'm so sorry, you should have been protected."

Hinata blew that off, "Is Naruto okay?"

Tsunade sighed, "Hinata, no, he isn't okay."

"I must see him immediately." Hinata responded to her.

"Hinata I wish I could. But It isn't my call. You will have to wait until I can clear some things up. You could help a lot with that." Tsunade told her.

"How?" Hinata asked.

"Why did you leave the Namikaze Estate? You were safe there, the seals protected you. Naruto is being accused of murder, on two counts. Witnesses say that you attacked a group of Hyuga, they responded by activating your seal. Then Naruto came and killed one of them." Tsunade asked her.

Hinata bit her lip, "N-Neji, p-please leave f-for a m-moment." Hinata told her cousin.

"Hinata you went out for cinnamon buns, right? That's what you told me." Neji told her.

Hinata looked at him, "I-I l-lied to you, y-you can't know t-the r-real reason I left."

Neji raised an eyebrow, "Like hell. You endangered yourself, I damn sure am going to hear why."

Hinata looked away from him, and back at her Hokage, "I got a letter from my little sister, it asked that I meet her to talk. Things have been rocky between us since I got back. I wanted to win her back, so I went, I was ambushed by the group of Hyugas."

"SHE DID WHAT!" Neji yelled at Hinata.

"Neji calm down, Hinata, do you have the letter?" Tsunade asked.

Hinata nodded, not meeting Neji's eyes. She rolled up her left sleeve and channeled chakra into a seal on her arm, a scroll popped out and Tsunade took it. Jiraiya raised his eye at what he saw, but didn't say anything for a moment, the old pervert was extremely observant.

Tsunade read over the letter, "Okay, tell me what happened after you were ambushed."

Hinata bit her lip but nodded, "A man in a cloak shoved me into the alley, they all walked in surrounding me and activated my seal immediately. They were all wearing cloaks, I couldn't see their faces, before I used my Byakugan to see who they were, the had the seal activated and I couldn't. It went on for what felt like forever, then Naruto appeared out of nowhere, he killed a man, then picked me up and started running. They chased us, Naruto tripped, then all I felt was pain, they had activated my seal again. It hurt so much, I-I don't know what else happened. I don't know details it just hurt too much. I'm sorry."

Tsunade nodded, "Okay Jiraiya, with this information it looks a lot more like your theory is correct."

"C-can I p-please please see N-Naruto n-now. I-I have to see him." Hinata pleaded with Tsunade, her determination fading slightly. She had to see Naruto, she had to be there for him. "It's all my fault Naruto is hurt, he gave away all his chakra to save me, that's why he is hurt so bad, I just had to stay in, but I even messed that up, why do I have to be such a train wreck all the time? If he hadn't sent the clone to save me he wouldn't have been accused of murder, if I wasn't so weak that I couldn't take care of myself. Why do I have to be so weak?"

"Hinata I'm sorry, you have helped a great deal, but you can't see him yet. I still have to sort things out a little more. You will have to wait a little longer. Stay strong." Tsunade told her.

"Tsunade, come on it will be good for the both of them if she is there for Naruto. Do not let him wake up alone in that room chained up." Jiraiya pleaded with Tsunade.

Tsunade shook her head, "I can't Jiraiya. I can't."

Jiraiya nodded, and bowed his head, smirking slightly.

Hinata didn't understand it though, "P-please tell m-me what h-happened."

Jiriaya shook his head, "How about I take you to Kakashi and Shikamaru, they can better tell you what happened there than I can. They are both in the hospital as well. They just made it back thirty minutes ago."

Hinata's eyes widened, "W-what happened t-to S-shikamaru and K-Kakashi-sensei?

"Kakashi is fine, Shikamaru was fighting with Naruto, he didn't get out unscathed, but he is fine. Naruto saved his life. Now you come with me, I will take you to Kakashi, Neji you can come too if you want." Jiraiya told them.

Neji and Hinata nodded, and followed Jiraiya, he took them to Kakashi, who was sitting in Shikamaru's room.

"S-Shikamaru, are y-you okay?" Hinata asked her former teammate.

Shikamaru looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Yeah I'm fine, just some scrapes, and burns here and there, I will be good to go tomorrow. How's Naruto?"

Hinata bit her lip, "I-I don't know." She looked at the floor.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you know?"

"Lord Jiraiya, d-do t-they not k-know?" Hinata asked confused.

Jiraiya sighed, as Kakashi's eye widened, "Do I not know what Jiraiya?"

"Kakashi, Naruto has been arrested for the murder of two Hyuga members. He hasn't woken up yet and is being guarded by ANBU, Tsunade can't let anyone see him."

"So, my son hasn't recovered yet?! If he has been arrested then they would have placed chakra suppressors on him, they would be endangering his wellbeing." Kakashi said quickly getting mad.

Jiraiya nodded, and started to talk, when Hinata spoke up, bursting out in tears, "K-Kakashi-sensei, Shikamaru, I-I'm so s-sorry, i-it's all m-my fault. I-If I h-had listened t-to him a-and s-stayed home n-none of t-this would h-have happened."

Kakashi shook his head, standing up, "Shikamaru will you be alright here? I am going to see my son. Hinata, Neji, let's go."

"Kakashi, I need a word with Hinata first, give me a few minutes. I will bring her up." Jiraiya told him.

Kakashi nodded and walked out, as Neji looked a little scared of the tall man in front of him. He turned to Shikamaru, "My Sensei, Miato Guy, considers Kakashi to be at a level beyond himself. I have heard stories about the man, he is a legend. Seeing him this mad about Naruto, it's a little scary."

Shikamaru nodded, "You should see him on a mission when someone tries to hurt one of his comrades. That is scary."

Neji nodded before following Kakashi, Jiraiya on the other hand pulled Hinata by the arm the other way. "Hinata that talk we had, do you remember your promise?"

Hinata nodded, "Y-yes I-I do. Y-you were v-very kind to m-me."

Jiraiya nodded, "You want to tell me about that scar on your wrist left wrist? I saw it when you rolled your sleeve down. What happened? Don't tell me that it is from when you were held captive. Its fresh."

Hinata looked down in shame, "I-I…I h-heard N-Naruto and K-Kakashi talking, h-he more o-or less s-said that I-I'm not t-the girl he l-loves. I-I hurt s-so much, the p-physical pain w-was e-easier t-to stomach a-at the m-moment. I-I didn't m-mean t-to do it. J-Just in t-the moment i-it just h-happened." Hinata looked down in shame as a tear rolled down her cheek.

Jiraiya hugged the young woman, "Hinata you are better than that, I am sure it was a misunderstanding. Naruto loves you more than anything in the world."

"M-maybe t-the o-old me. N-not the n-new m-me." Hinata cried in response.

Jiraiya put his hand on her shoulder, "Hinata it doesn't matter to Naruto, do you love Naruto?"

Hinata bit her lip but nodded to the man, Jiraiya grinned and continued, "Naruto is not the same man he was before you were captured, he grew into a much darker person while you were held captive. But at his core he is still Naruto. The same man you love. You may be different, you have changed, you are scarred emotionally and physically. But you are still Hinata at your core, the woman that Naruto loves."

Hinata looked at him with a glimpse of hope in her eyes, until she remembered something, "J-Jiriaya, I-I don't d-deserve him. I-I c-can't give h-him what h-he wants. I d-don't know i-if I e-ever will give him w-what he w-wants, w-what other w-women can g-give him. I-I am d-damaged g-goods."

Jiraiya chuckled slightly, "Have you ever asked Naruto what he wants?"

Hinata shook her head confused.

"You should probably ask him what he wants before you think you know for yourself. Hinata many people think of me as a pervert. And it is true, I love women. I love the things a woman can give me to use your words. However, I love Tsunade, and if she told me she could never give me what other girls could, I wouldn't break up with her, I would accept it and stay with her. Yeah that stuff is great, but it isn't what love is about. Its better when you love someone, much better in fact, but that's not what love is about. Think about what it means to be in love with someone when you get a chance, I mean meditate on it, you will be able to figure out exactly what Naruto wants on your own. But Hinata you can't do this anymore. I can't let you do this anymore. I will give you a pass this time," He reached out his hand and focused hard, as green chakra came out of his hand, "Tsunade taught me this," The fresh scar healed, and Jiraiya continued to talk, "If you do this again, I will have to report you to Tsunade, she won't allow you to be a ninja if you are hurting yourself. I won't tell Naruto this time either, but you have to stop."

Hinata looked at the man in tears, "J-Jiraiya, t-thank you, for e-everything." With that she hugged the wise old sage who was so kind to her.

Jiraiya then turned and walked towards the stairs, walking up and heading towards the room Naruto was in. They heard Kakashi talking to the ANBU outside his door.

"Kakashi, you can't ask us to do that. We have orders, we can't let you in." One of them said.

"You both owe me life debts, I have saved your skin so many times I lost count. At the risk of not following through on orders, but I never asked you for anything. NOTHING! Now you are telling me, that you won't let me see my SON who is laying in there near death."

"That's not fair Kakashi, you know what he is accused of! We could lose our positions." The other ANBU told him.

"That's bullshit and you know it. You know what burden he holds. He was saving a comrade and fellow ninja. Civilians who have always had it out for him are the ones accusing him." Kakashi ground out. Obviously starting to lose his cool.

"I WILL NOT let my SON wake up in there ALONE and chained to the FUCKING hospital bed, wondering what the fuck he did wrong, when all he did was SAVE THE WOMAN HE LOVES from TORTURE."

"Kakashi, we have the utmost respect for you, we would both be dead 50 times over if you hadn't saved us. But you are talking about disobeying a direct order. We can't." The ANBU on the right tried to explain to him.

"We feel for you Kakashi, we do, and you are probably right he most likely is innocent, but orders are orders I'm sorry but no." The ANBU on the left told him.

Kakashi clenched his right fist as his hand went up towards his headband, towards his sharingan, these two men were his comrades, but he couldn't just abandon his son.

Jiriaya caught his hand, "Kakashi, don't do anything stupid, just wait for a moment, have some faith in me for a moment."

Kakashi looked at him and was about to respond when an ANBU with long purple hair jumped down next to them, followed by a man wearing a cat ANBU mask, covered in red and green intricate markings, "We were sent by Lady Tsunade to relieve you. Go now."

The two ANBU nodding not needing to be told twice as they disappeared.

Kakashi looked at them, "Tenzo, Yugao, move. I am going in to see my son."

Both of them nodded, and moved to the side, "Use a silencing seal, no one is allowed inside, but he is a good kid I know he wouldn't just do these things. This entire wing has been put under genjutsu for you to go in. Let us know before any of you come out so we can place it again. You know he can't be unchained, nor can you remove the chakra suppressors. Everyone would know." Yugao told Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded, "Yugao, Tenzo, I won't forget this, I swear. Drinks are on me next time we can."

"We still owe you thousands more in debts from team Ro Kakashi. You have nothing to thank. But we will say yes to the drinks." Tenzo told him.

The four walked in and Hinata was immediately in front of him. He had a pained look on his face and he was burned all over. His skin was for the most part black, where it had stayed on, instead of melting off to Kakuzu's attack.

"W-what happened to h-him?" Hinata asked as she held back the vomit that was threatening to come up. Her hands covering her mouth.

"He was hit by a S class criminal's ultimate jutsu. It is a brutal attack that is meant to obliterate everything in its path. Naruto went into 4 tails mode and took the full blast to cover up Shikamaru. There wouldn't have been a corpse if Shikamaru would have been hit." Kakashi told her, recounting what the shadow master had told him.

Naruto's wrists and ankles were chained to the bed, and he had seals all over him. His breathing however was steady, there was IV drop giving him only enough fluids to stay alive. He was being treated like he was the S class criminal.

Hinata couldn't stop the tears from falling as she dropped to her knees. "I-I'm so s-sorry N-Naruto, Kakashi, Jiraiya, i-it's a-all m-my f-fault."
