Uzumaki Naruto Chronicles Rewrite
Chapter 135
Author's notes: I'm so genuinely sorry to all of you, my incredible readers, this has been a really tough semester. I'm working full time and taking 17 credit hours and every one of them requires a butt load of papers as I'm graduating from College in a month. My time has been hard pressed and when I have free time from writing papers its hard to sit and type a chapter. I've been incredibly derelict in my perceived duties to you all and for that I'm so very sorry. I started this updating 5 times a week at least and now I haven't updated in a month. Its been one hell of a year plus doing this, I've really enjoyed it and the interactions and friends I've made since starting has been the best part of, I feel with all of you and feel like I've let you down. Again, I'm so sorry but I will try harder. Anyways thank you to all of my reviews it brings me so much joy to read the reviews you guys spend so much time on to post for me. You all have my thanks. I will do my best to getting back to responding to every review as things are slowly dying down with work and school. I want to thank you all again for your continued support through these tough time strained times. Thank you to all my supporters, reviewers or not, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you enjoy this dark and rough chapter I haven't decided what to do with Naruto and Hinata yet, so suggestions in reviews and pms would be much obliged. Thank you all once again I can't begin to tell you how much you all mean to me. Good night and God Bless!

Hinata turned around and vomited at the sight before her, the bodies of countless women, their lives cut short, because of that monster. She couldn't hear anything, nothing was getting through to her, her senses weren't working.
Naruto cursed, "Hinata!" Arrows started to fly from the walls, they had triggered yet another trap. The bodies became even more skewered as they blocked some of the arrows. Naruto heard screams of pain, some of the women weren't dead yet. Kitsune appeared in his hand, as he summoned it and a kunai into his hands, he started blocking the volley, trying to stop all of them from hitting Hinata. He was too slow, one slipped by him and he cursed again, unable to turn and see what the damage was, but he heard her grunt in pain and the thud that came with her hitting the ground. Naruto cursed as it set off yet another volley of arrows, he was worried he could smell the poison on them.
Naruto created a clone, he turned and grabbed Hinata flashing away from the hallway into an adjacent one that he had left a seal in. He took a deep breath as he assessed the damage done to Hinata. He sighed, she had taken the arrow in the back of the shoulder, it hadn't made it all the way through however. The tip was poisoned, and Naruto cursed, he would have to work fast.
He observed her and noticed her shirt and pants were covered in the puke that had covered the ground after she saw what was in the room. Hinata still wasn't responding, he shook her, "Hinata, pull yourself together." He told her, but to her it all came in muffled, she couldn't understand him at all." All she could really hear were the screams of the women in that room that she had hear. She could hear her screams from the past, the voices of Kabuto and Orochimaru.
She screamed, in terror, everything around her too blurry for her to understand, to take note of. All she could feel was pain. The pain in her shoulder was emanating through her body, she felt like Kabuto had just finished one of his sessions on her.
Naruto shook her again, "HINATA. GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF. NOW!" He yelled in her ear. It still didn't work. The blonde ninja cursed again, he didn't have time for this, he grabbed the arrow, it was caught in her shoulder, he wouldn't be able to pull it out backwards. He grimaced, he hit the back of the arrow with his palm, driving it through her shoulder the rest of the way.
Hinata screamed in pain, finally coming back to the present, but it didn't stop him, he snapped the tip off the arrow and pulled it back through the entry wound. "AGGHH!" Hinata let out another pained scream. "Naruto! Are you okay? You went into a trap without me!" She asked before grimacing and grabbing her shoulder. "What happened?" She asked sadly through the pain.
"You ignored my orders, just…" Naruto sighed, "I need you to be quiet, so I can focus."
Hinata nodded sadly as Naruto moved her hands and put his own on both sides of her on the wounds. He focused hard, taking his hands off he went through hand seals, "Poison Blood Seal." He said as he put his hands back on her wound, pulsing the chakra to activate the seal. The seal spread out slightly from the wound and locked it down. Hinata sucked in a breath at the extra pain the area was suddenly in.
"Sorry, I know it hurts, but I had to stop the poison from the arrow from moving through the rest of your body. I isolated it, so I can start to heal it." Naruto explained to her.
"Are you mad?" Hinata asked him.
"You know the answer to that." Naruto told her, starting a healing jutsu.
"I can heal myself. I know you don't want to be doing this." Hinata told him.
"I highly doubt you can manage to heal yourself, but go ahead, you're welcome to try." Naruto told her as he backed away slightly to give her room.
She tried to lift her hands up to heal herself, but they didn't move more that an inch, she couldn't lift her arms. "What's going on?" She asked fearfully.
"You have a strong poison in your system, to stop it from spreading I had to limit blood to the parts of your body, though when this is done the muscular system tightens up, you can't move." Naruto told her gently, knowing how she would feel about this.
Hinata's face clouded as fear took over her. "W-Why would you d-do that?!" She asked him, terrified, "You p-paralyzed me?" Hinata asked with fear evident in her voice.
Naruto scowled, "Would you trust me for once? Your upper body is paralyzed because you disobeyed by fucking orders, and you came here and got hit with a poison arrow, because you were too shocked by what you had fucking seen to react. So now instead of investigating the scene I'm stuck here healing you, when this could have all been avoided had you just listened to me!" Naruto tore into the girl.
Hinata was about to say something, but bit it back instead, tears filling her eyes as she bit her lip. She let her head hang to try to hide her tears from Naruto. He pulled a scroll out of a seal, then unsealed the scroll and took out multiple syringes, one small and another one larger. He sighed as she looked in fear at the syringes.
"Relax, I'm not Kabuto, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just trying to help you." Naruto told her angrily, taking the first syringe and poking it into her, pushing in a numbing agent into her shoulder. "You aren't going to be able to use that arm for a while, I'm not advanced enough to fix a splintered joint. But I'm numbing the pain and giving you an antidote that Tsunade made as a cure all antidote, it will neutralize the poison. I'll heal the wound after to make sure you don't bleed out, but after that I don't want to mess the joint up."
Hinata didn't say anything, just tried to shy away as Naruto brought the other, larger needle to her. He grabbed her and held her as she tried to pull away. He poked her with the needle and she grimaced as he stuck it in her closer to her neck than her shoulder, injecting it into her. He pulled the needle out and gave her two blood pills, "Take these." He told her handing her a water, all of this having been unsealed from his scroll.
He then unsealed a pair of ankle cuffs. He locked them around her ankles and locked her to a pipe next to the wall in the room they were in. She looked at him abhorred, but he glared back. "Don't. I can't have you following me back in there and I still need to check out that scene. I know that I can't trust you so don't even say you won't come. I'm leaving a clone, if you even try to take the ankle cuffs off he will knock you out." Naruto told her forcefully. With that he flashed out of the room, and she immediately heard the metal clangs of him deflecting blades, and arrows.
She looked down at the cuffs around her ankles in utter disbelief, not knowing how Naruto could do this to her. She painfully lifted her left arm to her right shoulder and started a healing jutsu, using chakra to scan the area. Naruto wasn't lying about this being out of his depth as far as healing went. Her joint had been shredded by the arrow. While it was out of his depth, thanks to her Byakugan and chakra control it wasn't out of hers. She would have to go slow and be extra careful. She sighed, she hadn't wanted to reactivate her Byakugan, but she would have to in order to heal this. She sighed and activated it grunting at the pain that it caused her eyes. She was grateful it was only a flash of pain, but it still hurt when activating her blood line. "These eyes are nothing but a curse to me." She thought to herself as she looked at the wound with her cursed eyes. She saw the inner workings of the shoulder joint itself and sighed she had a lot of work to do. Though her upper body was gradually getting less stiff as the antidote neutralized the poison.
Naruto flashed around the room, the traps shooting arrows were drawing from banks of seals that seemed never ending. He was breaking each seal to stop the traps, cracking the seal would stop the supply of arrows. He sighed as he finally cracked the last one and stopped, taking a deep breath. He examined the bodies in the room, there was only one woman left alive, but she was on the brink of death. Naruto cut the rope that had her suspended in the air. He caught her and slowly lowered her to the ground.
The woman coughed, the poison had worked its way through her weakened broken body already. "I'm sorry," Naruto told her sadly, "There's nothing I can do to save you. Is there anything I can do for you to ease your suffering?"
"T-That bastard that did this to me, his name was Kabuto…" She paused taking a deep breath, "Will you find him and kill him? He murdered and tortured us all. He was insane." She told him weakly.
"I'll do my best." Naruto told her honestly, "That bastard and his master tortured my betrothed like this, I've been looking for them, they currently have my mother."
"W-what did she look like? Maybe she was h-here?" The woman asked.
"She's a kind woman, crimson red hair." Naruto told her.
"They called her 9. She was forced to heal us, even though she was kept a-as broken as us. She was kind to us, but she was only here for a short time, and there was nothing she could really do to help us. She eased our pain slightly." The woman told him.
"How long ago was it that she was here?" Naruto asked.
"A couple of weeks ago. She was brought here a couple of times, she would heal us and then they would leave. They normally leave a guard, but they didn't this time. We knew we were going to die." She told him.
Naruto nodded, "Thank you for your help."
"Please…can you end my suffering? I'm going to die; can you just make it quick?" She coughed out.
Naruto nodded, "Are you ready?"
She nodded, and he asked her, "Any final requests?"
She shook her head and Naruto nodded, "Right, on the count of three okay?" Naruto told her before he started to count. "One, "He told her, smiling gently towards her, he said a quick prayer for her, "Two." He stated, before snapping her neck in a quick motion. She died immediately unable to feel anything. He sighed, that was always hard.
He then pulled out a scroll and ink and began writing a note to Jiraiya. He finished his note asking Jiraiya to come to his location immediately. He then summoned a toad and asked the toad to give his message to Jiraiya. The toad nodded before disappearing. Naruto sighed as he stood up and walked out of the room walking back towards Hinata.
He walked into the room and saw her with a hand to her shoulder trying to heal the wound at the joint. He sighed again, "Hinata…" He said as she looked at him. He wasn't sure what to say to her.
"Will you please uncuff me, and treat me like your student, not your captive." Hinata asked him coldly.
Naruto growled, he was furious, "Are you my student? Because you disobey every fucking order I give you, you question me, and you talk back to me. Seems more like you aren't my student. But disobeying a direct order is punishable by incarceration. Seeing as all you've done lately is disobey my direct orders this seems to be appropriate."
"What!?" Hinata asked fiercely.
"You heard me." Naruto told her not backing down.
"So, what you're going to have me incarcerated in prison when we get back to the village because we had a disagreement?" Hinata asked him.
"Keep this shit up and I might fucking have to." Naruto told her angrily, "You, disobeying direct orders like you have been and questioning your commanding officer will get you fucking killed. You're a damn danger to yourself and others the way you've been acting and I'm sick of it. Its like you are repeatedly spitting in my face!"
Hinata glared at him, "So what, you lock me up and treat me like your captive. This is just like what that bastard Kabuto did, he locked me up, and beat me because I didn't do as he commanded."
Naruto looked at her shocked, he couldn't believe she had just said that, he couldn't contain the anger boiling out of him, he tried to quell it but he couldn't stop himself from yelling at her, "HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ME TO THAT MONSTER. THAT PIECE OF SHIT TORTURED YOU, BEAT YOU AND ABUSED YOU FOR FUN! I'M TRYING TO GODDAMN SAVE YOU FROM THE PATH YOU ARE GOING DOWN. I HAVE NEVER ONCE RAISED A HAND TO YOU. NEVER ONCE HIT YOU, NOT EVEN DURING SPARRING MATCHES DO I HIT YOU."
Hinata recoiled, Naruto was right, he was always the perfect gentleman, but still none of this gave him the right to cuff her like this, did it?
Naruto decided to continue after waiting a couple moments with Hinata not responding to him, "Look I am your commanding officer, I know it makes it hard because we are seeing each other romantically, but if that's the problem say so. I will get you a new jonin commander, or we can stop seeing each other. Either way this shit must end. I don't know what your fucking problem is, but I can't continue doing either one if this is what is going to happen. I can't risk your life like that. This is fucking serious Hinata."
Hinata gasped in shock as Naruto turned around and started to walk out of the room, leaving the clone with her. "N-Naru…d-did you just b-break up with me?" Hinata asked him, trying to keep the tears in her eyes from falling.
Naruto sighed, he shrugged, "Honestly Hinata, I don't know, you tell me. Either you need to get over this, we need to break up, or you need a new jonin sensei. Because what we're doing right now clearly isn't working.
