A week had gone by and Kakashi still wasn't happy with how things were going in this mission. They had gathered the guard schedules, and it didn't look good. They overlapped when they changed, for twenty minutes. The guards switched every three hours so they were never worn down and tired. This guard change was top of the line, they wouldn't be getting through the guards, the only way that they were getting through was if one or two of them created a distraction, this mission was going to be extremely dangerous if they even went through with it. Kakashi sighed as he finished writing out a note and sending Pakun to the leaf village with the information they had garnered.
"Kakashi, can we speak in private?" Gai asked him.
Kakahsi nodded and followed Gai out and into the trees, "What is it Gai? I'm trying to plan out this mission, with some variable of success."
"Kakashi that's the thing, there isn't any chance of success. You know it, I know it, our team knows it. Even Shikamaru can't think of anything with a decent success rate. We need to call it and get out of here before they realize we are here." Gai told his rival. The only man in the village that was on par with himself.
"Gai! Don't you think I know this? This mission is imperative, we need the information. This group is dangerous." Kakashi told him. "We have orders Gai, what do you want from me?"
"Kakashi, I'm sorry, but this mission is ridiculous we need reinforcements if we are to have any chance. We need a team with me to create the diversion, and a team with you to infiltrate." Gai told him.
"I know that Gai, but you know damn well, no one in the village right now will do anything but get in your way. You will have to fight with Yugao and Shikamaru to cause a diversion. Unless Tsunade can spare someone, maybe she will send Itachi, Hanara, and Naruto, they would be helpful right now." Kakashi told him.
Gai sighed, "You're right, but it still isn't good."
…
Naruto watched as Hinata bit her finger and then went through hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu!" She pumped loads of chakra into her hand. A puff of smoke appeared and an orange red fox, with 9 tails appeared. "Finally, you are able to summon me Hinata!" Kurama said as she walked out of the smoke in her fox form. She was smaller than normal, much smaller in this form. She was about the size of Akamaru. "When you summon me into battle, I come much larger, however I am not nearly as strong as I will be if Naruto ever gets his powers down and can summon me as the 9 tails. Does that make sense?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah because she is summoning you as a fox, and not as a fox spirit, right?"
"More or less, but also the chakra it would take her to summon me entirely would just about kill her." Kurama told them, "Now let's get to training."
Naruto and Hinata nodded and started to spar while Kurama watched.
"Okay stop, I have an idea Hinata, you have lightning nature affinity, don't you?"
Hinata nodded, "That and Water, why do you ask?"
"I had an idea to help your fighting style, make it better." Kurama told her.
"What is it Kurama?" Naruto asked.
"We are going to incorporate change of chakra nature into her gentle fist style. Change the chakra shot into someone with Gentle fist into lightning chakra, so essentially you will shoot tiny lightning bolts into them. If we can get it strong enough, you land enough hits and you will destroy their chakra system, in a fight that would be incredible. Not to mention a hit will numb them, even if it isn't direct. You could easily stop someone's heart with it." Kurama told them.
Naruto's eyes bulged, "That's an amazing idea Kurama!"
"Okay, but how do I do that?" I don't know any jutsu, I have never used nature manipulation." Hinata told them.
Naruto nodded, "Well let's work on it Hina. First do you know how lightning release works?"
Hinata shook her head, "I know it hurts a lot…"
Naruto looked down but then back at her, "Lightning release works by increasing the vibration frequency of the chakra you are using. For example, if I use this jutsu," Naruto went through hand seals, "Lightning style: Spark Darts!" He held out his hand and lightning chakra built up on the tips of his fingers, and shot into a tree. "See I built up the chakra on the tips of my fingers with my hand seals I molded it."
Hinata nodded and shivered a little, "Okay, I will try, can you show me the hand seals for that, maybe if I can get that jutsu down I will be able to better do it with my gentle fist."
Naruto nodded and showed her the hand seals and she tried, the jutsu didn't work however, Hinata sighed looking down, "It didn't work."
"Of course not Hina, it doesn't ever work on the first time, it took me weeks to get down most of my jutsu, it will be the same for you, but we need to work on physical training right now, so create as many shadow clones as you can, and leave them to work on it, you should have it within the next couple days." Naruto told her laughing.
Hinata nodded and Naruto upped her weights to a crazy level and grinned at her, "Let's get our run out of the way first Hina, see if you can keep up with me!"
Hinata nodded and chased after him.
…
A week later and Hinata had gotten down the spark darts, as well as a couple other lightning style jutsu that Naruto taught her. Hinata was now working on infusing lightning chakra into her gentle fist. She was attacking a sparring dummy, working around it, flowing hitting it with gentlefist attacks, she was flowing around it like water hitting it at all different angles, just like Naruto had taught her to. Her new style, Naruto dubbed the flowing gentle fist, was great for her, she still wasn't as good as Neji with gentle fist, but the boy could not believe how far she had come with her new style.
She just wasn't getting the lightning into it yet, it was too hard, she couldn't seem to focus on both things at once, Naruto stopped her and pulled her back, "Hina, your flowing gentle fist looks amazing. But you need to get the lightning into it for it to be truly effective, have a couple clones work on it with you, have two clones work on the flowing gentle fist katas we made for you, then you and two clones work on combining lightning chakra into it, don't worry Hina, it could take a while for you to get it down. You have only been working on it a short time, change in chakra nature is tough, I have been trying to work different natures into the rasengan and can't figure it out, if I could, the results would be phenomenal."
Hinata nodded and created clones to help her with it. She sighed, "Naru, why is it so hard to do this."
Naruto laughed, "I don't know, I guess everyone would be making their own jutsu." Hinata sighed and nodded.
…
Another week went by and Naruto and Hinata were hard at work, Kurama watching them train as they kept going. Hinata charged at Naruto as he blocked a shot by her, she channeled lightning chakra into her hand as she grabbed his arm. Naruto grunted in pain and Hinata threw him to the side. Hinata charged at him again. Naruto dodged her hand this time dropping into a leg sweep and dropping Hinata to the ground. Hinata hit the ground hard, she growled and rolled back to her feet. She jumped into a kick and tried kicking Naruto in the face, he grabbed her foot and threw her backwards. "Easy Hinata. I think that's enough for today."
Hianta shook her head, "No! I'm not done yet."
Naruto shook his head, "Hina, you are exhausted, it's time to be done."
"No." She charged at him again and Naruto raised an eyebrow, he pushed her strikes to the side, over the weeks he had developed a way to fight her fighting style. He stood in one place, only pivoting, blocking her shots. She was frustrated, and he just kept swiping her strikes to the side and dodging with small pivots and other small movements.
"Hinata that is enough, you are too tired, you are getting sloppy." Naruto told her.
Hinata got mad, "Shut up and fight Naruto, I'm fine!"
"Hinata, what the hell?" Naruto asked.
Hinata threw another strike, and Naruto blocked it and put her in a full nelson hold. He was holding her arms behind her head as he stopped her, Kurama just looked on with an eyebrow raised as Hinata started to sob, shaking as she did in Naruto's arms.
"Hinata, what is going on, what's wrong?" Naruto asked incredulously.
Hinata just continued to cry, "Why can't I get anything down. I can't even get a few good strikes in against you, we have been sparring for almost a month now and I still have yet to even really hit you. I can't get the flowing gentle fist down perfect it is still flawed, and I can't get the lightning gentle fist down yet either."
Naruto let her go and she dropped to her knees, "Hinata it's okay, I'm a high jonin level ninja, with high level Taijutsu skills. Creating a new taijutsu style is incredibly difficult, and creating a new nature transformation skill is incredible."
"Yet you can do it all! How can you do it all but I can't, and you are so incredible." Hinata told him.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Hina, I have worked hard, I have inherent skill, and I have trained for years to get here, you were held captive. You will get it."
"But you won't, you just don't get it Naruto." Hinata told him coldly.
Naruto was taken aback, "Hina what are you talking about?"
"I am referring to the fact that you still act like you want me, like you love me. But you love the old me! I can't ever be that girl again! You have seen me! How can I be that girl again? You loved her not me, you were engaged to her, that's the only reason you are still with me, I am pathetic, weak and scarred. You fell in love with the old me, and were engaged to me, that is the only reason you keep me around, waiting for the old me to come back! Naruto, she is gone! I can never be her again! So just stop, please Naruto, stop trying to love this new me. I'm different and the old Hinata is gone! She can't come back, he killed her. He buried her under all the torture, and the pain. You keep telling me that I am getting back to my old self, but I'm not, I'm just not. I don't want to be, she was weak, pathetic, a mutt for him to do what he wanted with. I can't be her again. I'm sorry, but Naruto it will just never happen."
Hinata turned and started to walk away, "Hina, wait! Please come back, don't walk away from me."
Hinata turned back to him, tears streaming down her face, eyes red, "I'm not your Hina Naruto, she is dead, she has been for a long time, the day you broke up with her back years ago, that was the day she started dying."
"Hinata. Don't do this, don't say that, you are my beloved." Naruto pleaded with her.
Hinata shook her head, "NO! my beloved would have told me that we were engaged! My beloved would have never broken up with me in the first place, you pushed the dagger into my hand, I stabbed my heart, but it was your dagger."
Naruto was taken aback, she really did blame him, "Hinata…please, I'm trying to help, that's all I have been doing."
"No Naruto, you have been trying to get your Hinata back, but you can't seem to understand that she is DEAD! She died when Kabuto took her. I came out of it, I am not the same girl. Don't you get that?! These are proof!" She pulled up her shirt, showing him the scar on her stomach as Naruto looked at her with pain in his eyes.
"See! There it is, you wishing for your Hinata back! Please…please stop this illusion that she can come back Naruto. She can't I'm what's left of the girl you loved, you don't have to keep up this act this charade. I am never going to be her again, I don't deserve you, I am mere trash." Hinata told him sadly.
"Hinata that isn't true!" Naruto told her.
"YES, IT IS! I have heard you say all you want is your Hinata back, I heard you in the shower last week, you were crying, you thought I was asleep, but I heard it all. You just want your old Hinata back, but she can't come back." Hinata told him.
Naruto's eyes widened, that had been a rough day for Hinata, and himself. "Hina that isn't what that meant, I meant I wanted you to be okay. You weren't supposed to hear any of that. It was my own stupid mourning. It…it just meant I wanted to be with you again, I want you to…to love me again."
Hinata was looking at the ground, her bangs over her eyes, Naruto couldn't see them widen, she took a moment, "Naruto, please, just stop. I... I need some time."
"TIME FROM WHAT! It isn't like we are a couple! We are just friends, that's all you want, now right? So, what the fuck do you need time from?"
Hinata started sobbing again, "Naruto! Please just…please, I don't want to talk about this anymore. My body isn't the only thing scarred and ugly, my heart is warped, my soul, its changed I am forever changed."
Hinata started to walk off as Naruto shook his head and appeared in front of her again, "Hinata we aren't done talking about this. We need to sort this out, please I need you."
"If you wanted your Hinata so bad, maybe you shouldn't have broken up with me in the first place, without giving me a chance, you helped break me Naruto. This is what I have become, scarred, disfigured and ugly." She told him coldly.
Naruto was taken aback he stood frozen to his spot as Hinata walked away from their training spot, he couldn't believe how cold she had been to him, the ice from her words acted like a dagger to his heart.
"K-Kurama, please escort m-me home so that Naruto doesn't have to worry about me getting home." Hinata asked crying as she did.
Kurama nodded and sulked after the girl, leaving Naruto alone, as the boy dropped to his knees, this blow to his heart harder than any he had taken physically.
"Hinata what was that? Where did all that come from?" Kurama asked as they walked.
"I don't know, it's been building up since I heard him in the shower. It just all came out, I was frustrated, he always tells me I can get back to better, all he wants is his old Hinata back, I know it hurt him, but I had to make him understand that I will never be that girl again, my shy timid innocence was taken long ago Kurama." Hinata told her.
Kurama nodded and told her, "Hinata he loves you no matter if it's the old you or not, you just really hurt him."
Hinata shook her head, "I need time Kurama. Just please allow me time to figure everything out, I love him…but I'm not the one he loves."
…
Naruto sat there for a while in the training ground, not moving, tears ran down his cheek, he needed someone to talk to, Tenten came to mind out of nowhere. He sighed as he stood, he activated a transformation jutsu so that he could walk through the village without being scorned, he couldn't take the scorn at the moment.
Tenten heard a knock from front door to the house she shared with her father. She walked over to it and opened it, to see Naruto, "Naruto what are you doing here?"
Naruto sighed, "I…I didn't know who else I could turn to…can you come talk?"
Tenten was shocked, "Yeah, sure." She grabbed her coat and walked outside, closing the door, Naruto looked around, no one was around, he touched her shoulder and flashed away with her. They landed on top of the Fourths head, and caught her before she fell, she was very disoriented after that.
"Uh, what the hell was that?" Tenten asked.
Naruto just shrugged and sat down, "Easier this way."
Tenten shook her head, "How did you do it? Your chakra is supposed to be sealed off. You aren't supposed to be able to use jutsu."
"Shit I forgot about that, well cats out of the bag now, Tsunade, Shizune, Kakashi, and Hiashi, all came up with a plan, I was to use this month to train Hinata, it was an S class secret mission. You can't tell anyone. Tsunade told me she didn't care if I opened the seal, she knew I already knew how by the time we had the meeting. The seal was a joke, Jiraiya must be losing his edge with old age." Naruto told her.
Tenten shook her head, "Sounds about right, so what's up? Why did you need someone to talk to?"
Naruto sighed, "Last week Hinata and I had a rough day, at the end of the day she fell asleep in my bed like usual, for her nightmares, I got up and got into the shower I needed some time to think, like I said it was a rough day, I was sitting talking out loud and she heard me, I didn't mean it, I just miss Hinata, I want her and I to actually be together."
Tenten nodded, "So she heard you, so what?"
"We were sparring today and Hinata didn't want to stop, she was tired and sloppy I told her again that it was enough. She just got mad and attacked me again. I calmed her down and then she blew up on me, yelling at me that she would never be the Hinata I once loved." Naruto told her.
Tenten nodded, "What all did she say?"
"Something about how I keep saying she will get back to being Hinata, but I am just trying to comfort her when I say that, she freaked told me the old Hinata I loved was gone, dead, said it was partially my fault. I can't say she is wrong, it is my fault. Anyways she also found out that we are engaged, I don't know how, but she did, and she thinks that is the only reason I am sticking with her, like that I am hoping the girl I used to love will come back, the only reason I was still with her is the promised arrangement which is ridiculous." Naruto responded.
Tenten sighed, "Have you ever just told her you love her as she is? That she doesn't need to change, she is perfect how she is. Scars and all?"
Naruto thought for a moment, "I haven't used those exact words, no. I tell her I love her all the time, she doesn't say it back ever though."
Tenten nodded, "I can see where she is coming from Naruto, you really need to go and tell her sorry, tell her you love her how she is, that she may not see herself as perfect, but you do. Scars and all she is still beautiful. You need to assure her that when you say your Hinata, you mean her at any given point. Love should be that way, shouldn't it?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, you are probably right, I do need to go and tell her that. But she wants some space right now. Thanks for listening Tenten. Would you mind staying here for a while and giving me some more pointers, like what the hell I am supposed to do about not telling her we are engaged."
Tenten nodded and giggled, "Sure Naruto."
Naruto sighed and grinned at her, thanks." The two continued to talk for another hour, until an ANBU showed up next to them, "Naruto Uzumaki, your presence is needed at Hokage tower, something has gone horribly wrong."
