…

Hinata screamed as a giant ice dragon barreled into her. She had pushed Tazuna out of the way however and so the old bridge builder lived, Hinata however didn't take the full brunt of the blow either, she blasted chakra into the ice monstrosity as it hit her, blowing most of it up but was still hit hard. Hinata slammed into a tree, rebounding and landing on her feet before dropping to a knee as she shook her head as it rung. Hinata looked at the man, she had seen Haku before, and she wasn't necessarily surprised to see him either. "Haku, it's been a long time." Hinata had a dark look to her eyes as she saw him. She looked around and realized Naruto's clone had already been popped.

The Byakugan princess stood straight into her flowing gentle fist stance, ready to put up a fight, she knew the man was fast, she had already disabled her weight seals and took a deep breath readying herself. She angled herself in front of Tazuna blocking him from Haku.

Haku stared at her, "Hinata Hyuga, I remember you from years ago."

"What is he talking about Hinata?" Tazuna asked her.

Hinata responded without looking away from Haku, "He tried to kidnap me and give me to another country that would have used me to breed a bunch of Byakugan babies, and experiment on me in order to learn more about my eyes."

"It wasn't personal Hinata, just like this, it's not personal, let me have Tazuna and you walk away." Haku told her.

Hinata glared at him, "You were fine with delivering me to a group of bastards to be raped repeatedly, its personal for me. I have a soul, I won't let you take Tazuna to be tortured and killed by that monster Gatou. You're going to have to go through me to get to him. Walk away Haku, this doesn't end well for you."

Haku raised an eyebrow, "If it means anything, I'm sorry for back then, I had no option back then, and I have no option now."

"It makes absolutely no difference to me if you are sorry or not, you wanted to send me to hell, now allow me to return the favor." Hinata told him coldly.

"So be it." Haku responded, before going through handseals, "Ice Style: Ice Rink Jutsu!" The ground beneath them and the area all around them turned into ice as Haku finished his jutsu. He sped towards Hinata, skating much faster than he originally was.

…

Naruto looked in the direction of Hinata's scream, he cursed, but he also knew her distress seal hadn't gone off yet, he could flash to her, but then Zabuza would be there before Naruto would be able to land a finishing blow, that being the case, Zabuza would be right back in a spot to kill Tazuna. Naruto would have to leave Hinata to face off with Haku alone, there was nothing he could do that would help her enough, she was very skilled, she would be fine. He growled and turned his focus completely back to Zabuza as he felt the man's intense killer intent coming from the mist, he cursed, he had lost the demon, he focused hard and found him again. Naruto grinned, glad he had his fox hearing and smell, this fight would have been much harder without it.

Zabuza charged through the mist at Naruto, swinging his massive blade, Naruto flipped over the blade and flung two kunai at the Demon of the Mist, flicking his wrist as the two tri-pronged kunai seemed to appear out of nowhere. Zabuza wasn't surprised however and dodged by moving his head slightly to the side, the kunai stuck into the ground behind him and Naruto grinned, he was gradually spreading his kunai out around the battlefield, he didn't want to use the technique too early, if he did Zabuza would be able to formulate a strategy. This was one of the strongest ninja in the world and he surely wouldn't be killed by a technique he had seen already.

Naruto landed from his flip and bent out of the way of another swing of Zabuza's monster blade, Naruto grinned, he threw his sword sideways over Zabuza's blade, then followed it up with two kunai, deflecting his sword into the hole in Zabuza's blade, and driving it into the ground. This caused Zabuza to lose his grip on his sword and Naruto fired in slamming multiple punches into Zabuza's gut followed by an uppercut into Zabuza's jaw. He then leaned his head back away from the right hook Zabuza sent his way, he grabbed the man's arm as it went past with his left hand, he pulled it up, grabbed it with his right hand and using a judo throw, threw the man backwards into a tree and away from his weapon. Naruto charged in again, blocking a punch and jabbing him in the ribs twice, before crossing his arms infront of his face, blocking a kick. The kick had enough force behind it that he slid across the ground. Zabuza looked at him pissed, Naruto could tell the man wasn't happy, but he had him on the ropes, or so he thought.

Zabuza charged him and dodged the first punch Naruto threw, he grabbed Naruto's fist and pulled him into a knee to the gut. Before throwing him back. Naruto landed his hands, twirling and using his feet to fend off Zabuza from attacking him while he was down. He kicked the man towards his giant blade, and Zabuza grabbed it and sprinted back at Naruto to try to end him. Naruto flipped over the giant blade and pushed off of it, jumping higher into the air and twisted around and planted a hard kick into Zabuza's head, driving the demon of the mist into the ground head first.

Naruto bounced away from the leg sweep and twisted around blocking the man's first punch with his right hand before turning and back handing the man in the face. Zabuza swung another punch at Naruto but the blonde ninja knocked it down and away at the wrist before bringing his wrist up into Zabuza's chin. Zabuza stumbled backwards and Naruto twisted, pounding a roundhouse kick into Zabuza's face, knocking him back onto his back. Naruto jumped and dropped an ax kick at Zabuza, for the man to roll out of the way.

Zabuza rolled onto his feet and backed away for a moment, "Heh, color me impressed kid, you managed to become a powerhouse in the last three years. You weren't able to stand up to Haku last time we met, and now here you are on my level. Very, very impressive. You have certainly gained my respect." Zabuza told the blonde ninja.

Naruto grinned, "Well, I've had some impressive teachers, but a lot of hard work does this for a guy."

"I can see, you have earned my respect Naruto. You leaf ninja have certainly impressed me for such a weak village." Zabuza told him, "Yet we still find eachother on opposite ends of the conflict once again. As much as I respect you, I have to carry out my contract. Either you let me have the bridge builder or I kill you, and Haku kills the Hyuga you seem so attached to. As good as you are kid, you can't take me full power and Haku. I just have to stay alive until Haku kills the Hyuga and then the bridge builder."

Naruto growled, "So what happens when I kill you in the next ten minutes. Hinata can certainly hold out that long. You aren't giving her enough credit. I haven't even gone all out yet."

"Very optimistic of you kid, however I haven't gone all out either, you really think you can beat me?" Zabuza questioned him.

Naruto smirked, "Only one way to find out huh?" With that he held a hand up and yelled, "WEIGHT SEALS RELEASE!" With that he disappeared in a blur, his body moving so fast he left an after image in his place. Naruto appeared next to Zabuza and slashed at him with one of his tripronged kunai, his sword swinging to block Zabuza's giant sword, Zabuza leaned back from the blade continuing his own sword slashing towards him. The two locked blades and Naruto hade to move his second hand to his blade struggling to hold Zabuza as Zabuza gritted his teeth, a purple chakra shroud begun to rise from him as he seemed to power up. Naruto cursed and jumped back as Zabuza started to overpower him. Naruto cursed as he sent more chakra to his legs, he charged again. This time he met Zabuza in the middle and the two were about to class again, when Zabuza's chakra surged again, he went fast as lightning this time, Naruto's eyes widened as he ducked trying to spin away but was met with Zabuza's knee to his gut. Naruto spit up blood as he dropped to his knees, that's when Zabuza dropped his sword down towards Naruto's head, trying to split him in half.

Naruto brought up his sword and blocked it but he was already on his knees, he had no leverage, he couldn't win this from here. Naruto cursed, he had no other option, either do it or die here. Naruto held it a while longer, his arms starting to shake under the intense weight Zabuza was pushing down on him. He gritted his teeth as he tried to push it up, it wasn't enough. He cursed again, looking into Zabuza's eyes, the man had a seemingly sad glint in them, Naruto could see he didn't want to kill him, but he also saw a cold resolution in his eyes, he would do what he had to.

Naruto growled and dropped one hand off of the sword placing it on the ground and placed a flying thundergod seal, he then flashed away from the sword as it clashed down onto the ground. Naruto then flashed back immediately, watching as Zabuza's eyes widened as Naruto stood on his sword. Naruto had flashed away and back so fast it looked to Zabuza like his sword went right through Naruto. Naruto then slashed down at Zabuza. He moved out of the way, but it was too late, he let out a growl in agony as the sword sliced through his shoulder and down a ways before Zabuza grabbed it and stopped it before it sliced through his heart, holding it there with his hand, reinforced by chakra.

Naruto slid it out and looked at him "It's over Zabuza, you can't fight me with that wound."

Zabuza growled and disappeared in a shunshin heading towards Hinata. Naruto cursed and held up a hand sign finding Hinata's seal and flashing to her, he would get there a few seconds before the Demon of the mist. He didn't think Zabuza would try to fight or kill Tazuna at this point, however he wouldn't put it past the man. He couldn't let him get to Hinata and Tazuna first.

…

Hinata was shocked to see him so fast, she reacted to slow and took a punch to the face as her footing slipped and she lost her guard. Hinata slammed back into the tree, but dodged the next punch, her Byakugan helping her run through calculations as to how much chakra exactly to apply. The normal amount for ice was incorrect, she cursed, the ice's properties were changing. She slid around dodging Haku's strikes but barely. She was having a lot of trouble figuring out this new ground. Haku was able to slide around her on it, she was unable to get steady footing just yet. Luckily with her Byakugan she didn't need to turn to see Haku's attacks, she was able to dodge, twisting her body at unnatural angles, using her flexibility to weave around Haku's attacks.

Finally, she figured out the chakra flow of the ground, its property changing, to most people they would not be able to fight off this attack, instead they would have to slip and slide around or take to the trees, with her Byakugan however she figured out exactly how much chakra to continuously pump into her feet, she had to keep changing it in order to keep her traction however.

She bent backwards, her head almost hitting the ice as she dodged an attack, she flipped over backwards and landed a kick to Haku's chest sending him back slightly. Hinata charged forward and struck at his chest with a palm strike, Haku however, flipped a senbon at Hinata, she had to twist out of the way, missing her strike, as Haku recoiled and tried to perform a leg sweep to trip up Hinata. Hinata jumped over it, twisting and firing her own sidekick into Haku's face, launching him into a tree. Hinata followed him, lunging at him, he tried to block with his left hand, and Hinata shot chakra into his arm, and he grunted in agony as she hit several more chakra points along his arm before firing two fingers into his shoulder, channeling her lightning chakra into the attack. Lightning shot out of Haku's shoulder and he cried out in pain.

She jumped back and glared at him, "Haku, your arm is disabled, if you continue to fight it's only going to get worse."

Haku stood slowly holding his left shoulder with his right hand, "Hinata, you have impressed me, you have improved tremendously from the helpless little girl you once were. However, this fight is far from over."

Hinata nodded and charged Haku, the ice man stood and held his right hand in front of him, he blocked Hinata's next strike by pushing her arm, deflecting the attack before it could do any damage to him, he pushed her to the side and fired a kick into her back, she stumbled forward and then back peddled as Haku advanced, kicking at her repeatedly, with wide sweeping kicks. Hinata grimaced she realized he was guiding her to a position he wanted her to be in. She wasn't sure where it was however, she pumped chakra into her arm and stopped the next kick, blocking it with her forearm against his shin, the struggled for a second right there as Hinata tried to hold the kick off, but the man was stronger than her, she moved her other hand to and placed it against her arm, reinforcing the block. Haku raised his right hand and Hinata saw him gather chakra, he did a hand sign, and Hinata's eyes widened in shock, hundreds of ice needles appeared all around her, she was surrounded, and with nowhere to go the needles all fired towards her.

Hinata started to spin and shouted "ROTATION!" Hinata spun around shooting chakra out of every tenketsu point in her body. She gritted her teeth it was too late, some ice needles hit her before she could start, she spun for a moment, and then dropped it. She dropped to a knee covered in needles as she did her breathing ragged as she slowly stood. Haku watched as she did.

"That was impressive Hinata, your reaction time was incredible, quick thinking as well. Your techniques are amazing. However, with those needles in you there is not much you can do." Haku told her.

Hinata gritted her teeth and tried to stand, only to fall back down onto one knee, she couldn't move. This was bad. "Hinata please, I do not wish to hurt you anymore, you fought well, but it's over."

Haku began to walk towards Tazuna as Hinata once again began to struggle to her feet, "N-No! I can't let you kill that man. I'm not finished yet!" Hinata finally stood, her knees shaking as she finally stood and drew a kunai throwing it at Haku, trying to rush behind it, attempting to attack the man.

Haku sighed, he tossed two needles at Hinata, the first one intercepted the kunai as the second one was caught out of nowhere, Naruto appeared and caught the needle before it could hit Hinata. "Haku, it's been a long time since we last saw each other, stand down. Zabuza is on his way here, he is heavily wounded. You are no match for me, I will kill you and Zabuza if I have to.

Haku smiled sadly, "You can't protect both at the same time Naruto, not when they are on opposite sides."

Hinata slowly walked up next to Naruto, before leaning against the tree, slumping slightly, breathing hard, she pulled out a kunai, "I can protect myself Naruto, protect Tazuna."

Naruto looked back at her and smiled, "I can do both, with Zabuza coming I'll need to. Even injured, you can't fight him in your condition." Before Haku could do anything, Naruto had flashed to Tazuna, grabbing him and flashing back as Haku looked on.

"I see, so it seems you have a teleport ability." Haku stated as he glared at Naruto. That was when Zabuza arrived in the area, the man growled as he landed hard next to Haku.

"You made it here already? I guess my injuries would have slowed me down." Zabuza grunted out.

Naruto nodded, "Get out of here Zabuza. I'm letting you go here."

Zabuza grinned at him, "Hardly, you think you can fend off Haku and myself from killing Tazuna? Your little Hyuga isn't in any shape to fight either one of us, even with me injured like I am."

Naruto glanced quickly back to Hinata and cursed, Zabuza was right, Hinata was in pretty bad shape, she was still standing but was clearly rather injured, and having trouble standing on her own, as evidenced by the tree she was leaning on. "Hinata, how you holding up? Can you fight at all?"

Hinata pushed herself off the tree and nodded, "Haku is quite skilled with his senbon, he has managed to hit many of my pressure points vital to moving properly. I won't be much use Naruto; however, I can defend Tazuna, I will block all attacks that get past you."

Naruto nodded and sighed, "Fine, I don't have much of a choice huh?" He drew Kitsune once again and held it in front of him wearily.

Zabuza hoisted his executioners blade and charged forward, Haku behind him, Naruto blocked Zabuza's strike and flipped kicking Haku away, before landing and blocking Zabuza's kick with a kick of his own. He turned and tossed kunai at Haku, fast as lightning accurate to a pin point. One kunai hiding in the shadow of the other kunai. Haku tossed her senbon at the kunai knocking the first one out of the air. He didn't see the second one, until it was almost to late, he stopped in his tracks unable to continue on towards Tazuna, instead he tossed a multitude of senbon at the bridge builder. It was stopped by Hinata however as the Hyuga blocked the senbon, she was breathing hard after though. Haku could tell the girl didn't have much strength yet.

Haku scanned the area, Naruto was heading his way, but Zabuza jumped in the way, his master wanted him to deal with Hinata. He watched her carefully, pinpointing several spots on her body, weaknesses that he could exploit, Hinata would be too slow to block a large volley of senbon, she would block her obvious vital areas, not the pressure points that would in fact immobilize her. Haku sighed he really didn't want to hurt this girl, but she was in his way, he had a job to do. So, he pulled out all the senbon he would need and targeted her. He threw them at her, throwing multiple with every throw, two aimed at vital areas, neck, and head, while one targeted a pressure point. He threw countless volleys and Hinata blocked them while attempting to save her vital points she let out a scream as she dropped to the ground, covered in senbon that had pierced her skin, hitting the pressure points Haku had aimed for.

Her entire body shook as she tried to move but was unable. It terrified her for a moment as bad memories surfaced. She tried to force them back but was having a hard time. She heard a distant voice calling her name, she came out of her reverie as Tazuna shook her, "Hinata! Are you okay?! Please just stop! Let him have me, just save my family please. I can't stand to watch this anymore."

Hinata grunted as she continued to struggle, that was when all of them heard a demonic growl coming from the side, Zabuza was on the ground staring at Naruto, who was covered in demonic chakra, he was glaring at Zabuza who had a gash in his side. Naruto disappeared, reappearing next to Hinata, "Hinata, are you okay?"

Hinata nodded and Naruto sighed in relief, still glowing with demonic chakra as he faced Haku, "I appreciate that you didn't kill Hinata, which is why I will let you go, however I won't be this nice if we face again. Take your master and go, or die."

Haku gulped, but nodded, he grabbed Zabuza, lifting him up and taking him away, Naruto waited until they were gone before powering down, he turned to Hinata and kneeled next to her, "Are you hurt?"

Hinata shook her head, but when she tried to move she gasped in pain, "Okay…Maybe I am hurt a little bit."

Naruto sighed, "Hinata, if you are hurt just tell me in the future, Tazuna, are you hurt at all?"

The bridgebuilder shook his head, "No, please you two have done enough, just leave me to die, it isn't fair to the two of you."

"Nonsense, we're fine, Zabuza and Haku will be out of commission for a while. Then again so will Hinata. We have a mission to do, and to this date I have never failed a mission, I'm not starting now. Tsunade gave me a mission and I'm damn well going to complete it. I won't ever leave someone who is trying to do the right thing to die. I will save your family." Naruto then stood and picked up Hinata, lifting her onto his back, she grunted in pain as needles pressed further into her body in some place. Moving around didn't help her out either.

"Sorry Hinata, I have to get you two to safety before I can pull the needles out, this ride is going to hurt a little okay? I need you to stay awake though, I need your Byakugan to guide us just in case." Naruto told her.

"I'll be fine Naruto." She grunted out.

Naruto nodded and created a clone that picked up Tazuna, "We have to go fast, sorry Tazuna."

Tazuna nodded he was okay with it. Naruto took off towards a shack that Tazuna had hidden near the bridge. When Naruto got them there he laid Hinata down in a small bed in the corner. He then told her, "Hina, wait a little longer and I will take those out of you, just don't move around much okay? The more you move the more damage you will do to yourself."

Hinata nodded and Naruto stood and walked back outside to start placing security seals around the perimeter. Finally he walked back in and sat down with Hinata, he looked her over and then reached for the first needle in her right arm, he touched it and noticed Hinata cringe, he sighed before plucking it out as the Byakugan princess grimaced.

After Naruto pulled the many many needles out of her skin he sighed looking into her eyes, "Hina, are you okay now? Try to move just be careful. I suspect you won't be able to stand for at least a few days. Luckily though you are otherwise fine."

Hinata nodded slowly and tried to move, she quickly stopped though and shook her head, "I won't be moving for a while, what is the plan Naruto?"

"Same plan Hinata, I have left plenty of seals here, I will leave an army of clones here and in the area and go in myself, I just need to get suited up, then the raid will begin, I have to save his family." Naruto told her.

Hinata smiled at him, "Go, we will be fine. You must bring them back, but you also have to come back to us with them."

Naruto nodded, "That's the plan, I love you Hinata." He then leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.

…
