…

Naruto slid his gauntlet onto his right wrist, locking it into place as he grimaced, he had taken a lot of lives with these weapons. He sighed as he slipped the left gauntlet onto his wrist. Tazuna chose this moment to speak up, "What are those going to do?"

Naruto looked back at him, he held up his right arm and channeled chakra into the gauntlet releasing the hidden blade inside. The blade sprung out and Tazuna gasped in shock. "These are some of my best stealth weapons. I channel my chakra into them and the blade springs out. The blade springing out makes it easier to make the kill silently. I place my hand over their mouth and the blade springs into their throat, silent kill."

Tazuna sighed and put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, "You're still so young and have seen and done so much."

Naruto shrugged, "The life of a ninja, it's my job." Tazuna shuddered at that. Naruto nodded and walked out, "I'm going to go scout the property. I have a couple days of scouting before I can go in safely. If I'm seen they will kill your family. I'll be back later tonight." With that he disappeared, flashing out of the shack they were in.

"You know he hasn't had an easy life. Don't judge him. He never wanted to kill, he was a good person, a great person. It all changed when I was taken, he was shown a hellish world, so was I for that matter. Naruto was an orphan, he grew up most of his life with no family, and the entire village has hated him and treated him like shit his entire life. They have almost killed him multiple times, burned his house down once. Despite all of that Naruto was a good person until I was taken. He still is a good person, just so much darker. These kind of missions…he was never meant to take this kind of stealth mission. He was always meant to be an assault team powerhouse with his abilities. When I was missing, he changed he had to undergo stealth training to try to find me. The men who have trained him are all good men. However, they are all built mentally to kill or be killed. They lived in different times. Naruto was never meant to be like that, the killing like this has corrupted him. He hates it, he won't tell anyone, but I can tell by the look in his eyes. It eats him up inside to kill anyone, life is so precious to him that he hates this. However, he is uniquely skilled for this kind of infiltration mission now, he can't just turn these kinds of missions down, so he does his job like the good soldier and ninja that he is. He is going to kill the men in the stronghold in order to save your family. He does what he has to in order to save people so don't you dare judge him. He judges himself enough." Hinata told Tazuna coldly.

Tazuna looked taken aback, "Hinata, I'm sorry, I didn't say anythi…"

Hinata interrupted him, "I saw your look, the disgust at him talking about the kill. He doesn't have a choice, if he left someone alive they could blow the whole operation. If he say, knocked someone out, and they woke up and told someone or someone saw them they would immediately kill your family."

Tazuna nodded, "I meant no disrespect towards him, I hate bloodshed is all. It was purely at distaste for killing. This world makes us do things we don't ever want to do, things we never intended to do. I truly meant nothing by it towards Naruto. I'm sorry."

Hinata nodded, blushing slightly, "Sorry…I took it the wrong way. I'm just getting tired of people treating Naruto poorly for things he doesn't have much control over."

Tazuna waved her off, "Think nothing of it young lady, you were defending your man, something you should be doing. You're loyal and fierce. Do you mind if I make a comment about your fight against that young man Haku?"

Hinata nodded, "Go ahead, I can try to explain things for you if you'd like."

The old bridge builder nodded, "Well there are bits I definitely don't understand. Your attacks for instance, it looked like you were just poking at him. I understand he did take some damage, but it wasn't what I was expecting."

Hinata nodded, "Right well that is my clan's fighting style. You see my eyes?" Hinata activated her Byakugan, "This is my Byakugan, they help me see things differently, you can think of it as X-Ray vision if you'd like. Except I also have a full 360-degree range of vision. So, I personally have the…largest vision field, I can see everything within 5 kilometers around me. If I focus on one spot I can see 15 kilometers in that directions. Using this power, I can see chakra points, and organs in the body. I'm able to shoot chakra into them and damage them internally. Our fighting style is called the gentle fist, because we do internal damage instead of external."

Tazuna nodded now enlightened, "However you were also able to deal physical blows."

Hinata nodded, "That's Naruto's training. He abhors the fact that the Hyuga have only one fighting style. If the opponent Is immune or knows how to counter, it means death. Naruto has trained me hard in several other hand to hand styles. As well as taught me many jutsu to help me here and there. His arsenal is far greater than mine, he knows hundreds of jutsus, he has the chakra to use them all. He really is one of a kind. Most people from my clan never learn any jutsu, they simply rely on the Gentle fist in order to fight."

Tazuna nodded, "I don't mean to be rude here, but you were outmatched by that Haku fellow, he was stronger than you and slightly faster. You took so much damage, when you were clearly outmatched, just to save me. Why?"

"Tazuna, you are a good man, I will not stand by and let a good man be killed, no matter what situation it puts me in. Also, I refuse to be a failure anymore. I have been a failure most of my life and I absolutely refuse to continue to be a failure. I will not fail this mission. Naruto and I will protect you, we will save your family, and your bridge will be built." Hinata told him fiercely.

Tazuna turned to her and grinned, "Thank you Hinata, you and Naruto have given me so much hope, you are both far too good to me."

…

Naruto slammed his hand into a tree, cursing there was no good way in. He had been surveying everything around this compound, it was a fortress. Naruto sighed this would be difficult, he had to get in without being seen or Tazuna's family would be killed, and so far there wasn't a great opening. He wanted to wait longer and find some kind of opening, but he didn't have that kind of time. Gato had his men sweeping the entire area around the village looking for Tazuna, himself, and Hinata. He cursed again. Besides all of that, there was an unknown man in the stronghold. He was a behemoth, clearly had ninja training, but Naruto had never heard of him, never seen him in the bingo book. Naruto wasn't sure what he was, but there was something wrong about him, like he wasn't quite human. He had a very bad feeling about this.

Naruto held up a hand seal and flashed back to Hinata and Tazuna. Hinata looked at him and smiled, used to his flashing back to her all of a sudden. It was weird, she could almost feel he was coming seconds before he appeared. She stood slowly, wrapping her arms around him in a hug. He hugged her quickly before grunting and she removed herself from him. She hated being professional, but Naruto was right.

"What did you find out? What's the plan?" Hinata asked him.

Naruto sighed, "First how are you feeling?"

"Much better Naruto, still very stiff, but I have been trying to stretch it out." Hinata told him slightly disappointed in herself for not being healthy yet.

Naruto nodded, "Good, you need to be fighting ready, and soon. Bandits are combing the area, my seals should hold out, but you never know. I am going in tonight, it will be tough Tazuna, I just don't have enough time to continue scouting."

Tazuna nodded, "Please, bring my family back to me."

Naruto nodded, "Of course, just allow me some time to sleep before I go."

…

Naruto woke up a few hours later, rolling out of the bed, he scanned the room and noticed Hinata wasn't in the room, he reached out with his senses looking for her chakra signature. He found it just outside the hut. He walked out the door and found her sitting alone staring out into the forest.

"Hinata, everything alright?" He asked her. Hinata looked back shocked, he had caught her off guard.

"Naruto, y-yes, everything is fine, just thinking I guess." Hinata told him

"Anything in particular you were thinking about?" Naruto asked her.

Hinata didn't say anything, instead just looked down and played with her hands, her hair falling over her face, hiding her eyes. Naruto embraced her in a hug holding her tight, "It's okay to think about it Hinata, it's okay to remember and feel sad. You don't have to tell me about it if you don't want to. You survived through it because of how strong you are as a person."

Hinata nodded, "Thank you." She told him in a quiet voice. "Thank you for being here for me. Thank you for helping me."

Naruto nodded, "I wish I could do more for you Hina, you are my princess after all." Naruto kissed the top of her head before letting her go. "I need to go Hina."

She nodded, "I want to go with you and help. I want to help you save Tazuna's family."

Naruto nodded, "Hinata, you have yet to kill anyone, I want to keep you from killing someone for as long as I can. You are a ninja, I know. I don't think you are ready for this kind of mission."

"Naruto, I would be an incredible asset on this mission. My eyes can see everything, you should take me, we can work together on this and be fine!" Hinata pleaded with him.

Naruto smiled on her, "I can't deny that; however, I also need someone I can count on here with Tazuna in case someone finds him. You have to protect him here Hinata. Saving his family doesn't do much good if he dies."

Hinata nodded, "I just want to be there to help you."

Naruto nodded and smiled, "Thank you, but I need you here even more."

Hinata nodded and Naruto held up a hand sign, smiling at her and flashed away to a seal he had left at the base of the compound, at the wall he wanted to go up in order to get in. He put his foot against the wall and cursed. His chakra wouldn't adhere him to the wall. Naruto growled and put his hand against the wall, he sent out his senses for what the cause may be. He found it, there was a seal inside the compound that stopped chakra from being used against the wall in any capacity. Naruto swore once again. He pulled out two kunai and jumped as high as he could, stabbing the kunai into the wall as he reached his apex. He pulled one out stabbing it back into the wall as he climbed up, pulling himself up higher and higher. He finally reached the top of the wall. He pulled himself up and over the wall, crouching and slinking forward in the dead of night. He stayed away from all the lights, even though he had his demon fox cloak on the whole time. He couldn't risk being seen and getting the bridge builder's family killed. He snuck across the facility, killing guards as he came across them. He stepped up behind one man, slid his hidden blade into the man's side piercing the lung and killing him instantly.

Naruto snuck through the entire base until he finally found a locked room. He placed his hand on the door and sensed for any alarm seals or anything else that could possibly blow his cover. There was nothing, just a lock, he pulled out his lock pick set and went to work on the difficult door. This place was maximum security to say the least, but he was very good at stealth missions like this. He was afterall trained by two of the best ANBU captains Konoha had ever known, and the biggest pervert Konoha had ever seen. Naruto grinned thinking about it, Jiraiya was grand and boisterous however when he wanted to, he could be the stealthiest man in the world.

Naruto felt a click in the lock and turned, the door opened and he peered in, he gasped at what he saw. A teenage boy was hanging limply. Strung up by his wrists, chained to a wall, he was unconscious. Naruto walked in and the boy began to stir. Naruto was next to him immediately, covering his mouth making sure he didn't blow his cover. "Shhhhh, you have to be quiet, don't yell, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, you're Inari, right?"

Naruto slowly took his hand away from Inari's mouth and the boy slowly nodded, "W-what are you doing here?" The boy asked him.

"I'm here to save you and your mom, your grandfather hired me and my student." Naruto told him.

"Have you saved my mom already?" Inari asked him.

Naruto shook his head, "I found you first, so I'm taking you first. I'm getting you out of here first then coming back for her."

"No. Go get her first, I won't go with you unless I know she is safe first." Inari told him.

Naruto shook his head, "You don't have much of a choice Inari, just trust me on this, I will save your mom."

Inari sniffled, "You don't get it, I know how long it probably took you to get here. Obviously, I can see you are good at this. You may get to her, but it will take time. She is heavily guarded and they do terrible things to her every second!"

"Listen kid, the longer you argue with me the longer your mom is gonna suffer. I can be gone and back in seconds. I'll save her. I promise, it won't take long." Naruto told him, before holding up a handseal, Naruto flashed himself and Inari out of the stronghold and flashed him all the way to Tazuna's hut.

Inari was disoriented and dropped to the ground, looking around himself slowly, he realized that he was in fact in the hut. He saw his grandfather, and tears welled up in his eyes, he was so happy to see the man. "How did we get here so fast? That shouldn't be possible."

Naruto smiled gently, "I have a jutsu called the flying thundergod, it allows me to teleport to any seal I have within a mile of myself. It's very handy and its why I'm getting you out first and then your mother it won't take but a thought to be back where we were. I have to back track and find your mom now.

Naruto then pointed at Hinata, "Hinata is my student she will heal you from here." With that Naruto flashed out of the house and back into the compound.

Hinata grinned gently at Inari when Tazuna rushed back into the hut, he had heard Naruto speak and rushed in, "INARI! You're back! Are you okay?" The old bridge builder asked his grandson as tears of joy spilled from his eyes.

Inari grinned at his grandfather, "Grandpa! It's so good to see you again! I…I can't believe I'm alive and out of that hell hole."

Tazuna just nodded holding his grandson for a while.

Hinata waited for Tazuna and Inari to catch up for a moment before moving in, "Inari, I need to take a look at you so I can heal you."

Inari looked over to her, having forgot she was there, "Wait if you're a ninja as well why aren't you helping him save my mother?"

Hinata grinned gently at him, "I'm watching over you and your grandfather, if I went with Naruto I would most likely just slow him down…I'm not on his level currently. I do need to heal you though, I can see your left arm is broken and you have a few cuts and scrapes that are infected. You have some burns I can heal as well."

Inari shook his head, "I can wait, my mom will need a lot of healing, I could always hear her screams, but they never let me see her. Please she will need it more."

Hinata grinned at him sweetly, "I'll be able to heal the both of you I promise."

Inari slowly nodded and accepted Hinata's healing hands, sighing in relief as some of the pain he had been feeling for a while now. He had gotten so used to it that he didn't realize he was still in it. He was also more concerned about his mother. "Hinata…do you really think Naruto can save my mother? From what I heard from guards she was always kept under strict guard, multiple guards always near her."

Hinata nodded, "Naruto is the strongest person I know, he has a drive in him that I have ever seen before. He's incredible, I have no doubt that he'll save your mother. He won't ever stop until he does."

"You hold a lot of faith in him." Inari told her.

Hinata nodded, "That's because he has earned every bit of it. He never left me, he kept coming until he found me."

Inari nodded, not quite sure what she meant but hopeful that Naruto would in fact save his mother.

…

Naruto sighed as he looked at the guards standing together with weapons in hand in front of a door, there were five of them, two on each side and a large man in the middle in front of the door. Naruto was watching them for a moment, he figured this was the door that hid Tsunami. That's when he heard a scream, Naruto cursed and threw a tri-pronged kunai enhanced with wind chakra as hard as he could at the middle guard. The poor man never saw it coming, it went through his head and he was dead before he hit the ground. Naruto flashed to the kunai as it exited the man's skull catching it and immediately burying it in the closest man's head as well. Two bodies were dropped in a split second and he turned and shoved his hidden blades into the two guards' heads to his right before grabbing the last man and breaking his neck. Four bodies in 4 seconds, Naruto was deadly efficient.

Naruto then threw a tri-pronged kunai through the locked door and flashed to it, as soon as he was in he threw two kunai right through the two men's heads as soon as they looked up. They were dead before they hit the ground. It was then that Naruto looked up and saw Tsunami…His jaw dropped and he cursed.

"Oh…Fuck!"
