Naruto hated this, they were traveling in complete silence, he was waiting for her to say something, anything, but she just traveled ahead of him, jumping through the trees completely ignoring his presence. Naruto had enough and decided to talk to Kurama. "Kurama what the fuck is her issue?"
"She's angry." Kurama told him.
"Oh really? I didn't catch that." Naruto shot back at her sarcastically.
"Easy Kit. She isn't used to being a ninja. She doesn't know what kind of calls she is going to have to make. She doesn't understand what it means to be a soldier like you do. Can you honestly tell me that you would have done that if you hadn't spent a year with Jiraiya and then another with Itachi, being a stone-cold shinobi?" Kurama asked him.
"We'll never know. However, I can't keep this from Tsunade. Hinata isn't ready to be a ninja. She has been disobeying orders and has been consistently stubborn. Another team with her on it would have compromised this mission and could have caused a war. She is a danger to herself and to teammates right now. She won't talk to me about it, so I don't know what else to do." Naruto told her.
"That's a little steep don't you think? What are you going to suggest, a demotion?" Kurama asked.
Naruto sighed inwardly, "I don't want too, you know I don't, but I don't know what else I can do. If I get sent on a mission and she gets sent with a different team, she could be a liability, especially if she is acting like this, unable to listen to commands, and work as a team. She is taking too many risks while fighting, leaving herself open to attacks, it's like she doesn't care if she lives or dies."
"I don't think that she does, but getting her demoted is going to worsen her confidence, it'll make her feel like you betrayed her. It would certainly hurt your relationship with her, if not ruin it forever, betrayal is forever, once you've betrayed someone it will always be there." Kurama told him.
"Well betrayed is better than dead isn't it? Or better than being the cause that a comrade died." Naruto fired back.
"Not always, what happens if she can't forgive you?" Kurama asked him.
"I need to go, its time to make camp, I have some thinking to do." Naruto told her, as he stopped and called out to Hinata, "We're making camp here."
Hinata stopped quickly, looking back, "Why? I can keep going. Lets just get back to the village."
Naruto's expression got darker, "We are stopping because I said we're stopping and making camp. That's an order. We are in no rush to get back to the village, we're in the Fire country, 100 miles inside the border. There is no reason to rush back, it would be foolish to tire ourselves for no good reason. End of discussion."
"Naruto, I'd like to sleep in our own bed, not in a tent on the ground. Why can't we just make the trip?" Hinata complained.
"Hinata, I made a call. Its my call to make and I made it. Now if you have a problem with my orders, you can take them up with Lady Hokage, AFTER the mission. For the moment however, you will follow my orders." Naruto growled out, "Are we clear?"
"Naruto, I…" Hinata started, but Naruto interrupted her immediately.
"I asked, ARE WE CLEAR?"
Hinata was taken aback, "Y-yes."
"Good, now let's start setting up camp, why don't you set up the tent, I'll find firewood." Naruto told her.
Hinata nodded, "I-if you don't mind, I-I'll be sleeping in my o-own tent."
Naruto turned back to her, hurt clear in his eyes, before they turned hard again, "Fine, you have to summon Kurama to sleep with you in your tent."
Hinata sighed but agreed, "Fine."
Naruto growled, creating multiple shadow clones, one to set up his tent, one to grab water, two to gather firewood, and he walked away from the clearing to hunt, "I'm going to get us dinner."
…
Hinata summoned Kurama as she entered her tent, Kurama poofed into existence. "Sorry Kurama, Naruto's orders, you have to be with me if I want my own tent."
"That's because he wants to protect you, I'm not sure why you want your own tent, you always sleep with Naruto, why stop now?" Kurama asked, but didn't let Hinata answer, "Oh wait, I know, because you think he's been unfair. He hasn't been unfair Hinata. You've been acting out of sorts. Disobedient towards Naruto."
"He's my boyfriend, I don't have to do what he says because of that." Hinata told her, "I don't want to be controlled by a man anymore, for two years Kabuto controlled everything I did."
Kurama sighed, "Hinata, he isn't telling you what to do as your boyfriend. You have an interesting relationship with him, he is your commander, your sensei and he outranks you in power, battle prowess, and actual rank. You have to obey him as your sensei and commander when you are training and on missions."
Hinata bit her lip but didn't say anything, so Kurama continued, "Hinata, its effecting your missions, Naruto told you multiple times not to go near Boren, because he knew that the guy was scum."
"Did Naruto kill him?" Hinata asked reluctantly.
Kurama nodded, "He did, Boren apologized, and thanked Naruto for setting him on the right path, Naruto made his death quick and painless."
"He didn't kill him because of me, did he?" Hinata asked worried.
"No, Naruto couldn't risk Boren telling anyone that it was leaf Ninja who caused the revolution." Kurama told her, "Listen Hinata, Naruto is thinking about telling Tsunade about your insubordination, he doesn't know what to do. If you do something like this on a mission with other ninja, it could get someone killed, it could have gotten Naruto killed. What if he faced leader and couldn't beat him alone?"
Hinata shook her head, "I wanted to help, he didn't have to go alone!"
Kurama shook her head, "You don't get it! Hinata, Naruto is responsible for you, he loves you more than anything, but your insubordination could get you killed! You refuse to listen to him, and you're far too reckless. It will get you hurt or killed, and Naruto can't have that! He would rather die."
Hinata looked taken aback, "Is Naruto really going to tell Tsunade? Would he really betray me like that?" The reality of her situation was finally settling in for her.
"What choice have you given him?" Kurama told her, "You have constantly disobeyed his orders this mission, he doesn't want you to get yourself or someone else killed because you won't obey orders. Simple orders."
Hinata was dumbstruck, "But I wasn't that bad."
"YES! You were Hinata. I asked Naruto to let me talk to you, see if I can convince you, before he talks to Tsunade, but he wasn't sure about it. He doesn't know what else to do, because you refuse to listen to him!" Kurama scolded her like an older sister would.
"Do…Do you think I could go talk to him right now?" Hinata asked timidly.
Kurama shook her head, "He left camp, said he wanted to check something out."
"WHAT!" Hinata yelled upset, "Why wouldn't he tell me?"
"He didn't want you to go, he told me to tell you not to come after him. He doesn't want you there." Kurama told her strictly.
Hinata shook her head, "No! I'm on his team, I need to back him up, you're right, he could have died earlier because I wasn't there. He could walk into a trap, he needs backup." Hinata then activated her Byakugan, wincing as she did, the pain in her eyes making her grit her teeth, it was getting worse. It didn't take her long to find Naruto, she took off leaving the tent and heading towards him. He was 8 miles away. Hinata stood about to take off when Kurama stopped her, grabbing her arm.
"Hinata! Naruto gave you an order, he wants you to stay here." Kurama told her.
"He's in a dungeon, I can't make out many details, but there are traps, he could need me!" I can see a lot of traps, why wouldn't he take me! My eyes would help him in this situation!" Hinata told her, shooting out of the tent and towards Naruto.
…
Naruto walked felt the outside of a rock, he felt the seal on it, this is what he had sensed. He went through a few hand seals, "Seal Breaker!" He said, his own seal breaking jutsu. The rock exploded inward, and Naruto walked into the entrance to the cave that he made after breaking the seal that was on it. Naruto walked in cautiously, letting his senses take over his brain, this would be full of traps if he knew Kabuto and Orochimaru like he thought he did.
He bent backwards out of the way of flying arrows, he had already sent off the first trap, he sighed this was going to be a long night. He continued into the cave dodging traps and breaking more and more seals. He broke the next seal to get into a room, finally at the bottom of the cave. He cursed, and arrow dug into his side and growled in pain as it did. He grabbed it, that trap had been set to hit someone breaking the seal lock on the door. He cursed and ripped the arrow out of his side. He threw it behind him and went through hand seals, starting a healing jutsu. He grunted as he placed a green hand to his side. He entered the door and his eyes went wide. Just as he heard a footstep behind him, he let a kunai slide out of his sleeve in his right hand, turning and was about to throw it when he heard her voice. He was too late to not release the kunai, bet he changed the angle, the kunai passed just by her head, burying into the cave wall. "Hinata! No! don't come in here." But his warning was too late as Hinata saw the contents of the room.
Her hands immediately went to her mouth as she shook in fear, she looked at the bodies of women hanging from the sealing. They all looked like her, wearing wigs that were her hair color, their skin pale, not fair like hers, but it still looked like her skin, their eyes were either gouged out, or white, clearly having been blinded. She shuddered as she looked at the missing women from the village, they were naked, with scars identical to what she had all over their bodies. Hinata turned around and vomited.
