Uzumaki Naruto Chronicles
Chapter 138
Author's note: Sorry it took so long, I've been busy, I'll try harder though! It would serve you well to go reread the previous chapter! Please read and review!
Hinata gasped as she jumped back, staring at the bodies of her senseis. They were both dead, it happened so fast. She was tackled out of the way of more kunai by Haku, whose eyes were steel and focused.
"Get up and run, we're going back to the village. Don't look back, activate your Byakugan and tell me how many men there are." Haku told her forcefully.
Hinata stood and took off, sprinting without her weights on she was incredibly fast. She activated her Byakugan, wincing as she did, Haku was right next to her, he had just caught up, he had created an ice dome around the group of ninjas as a distraction. "Haku, they have the village surrounded, they are launching an invasion." Hinata told him fearfully, "It's the sound ninja, Orochimaru is trying to take the village."
"Why would he do that?" Haku asked.
"He wants to raze the village to the ground. He tried to do this before he took me as well. During the chunin exams Naruto won. Itachi prevented it when he almost killed Orochimaru, the snake pulled out after that and the invasion never happened. I guess he wants to finally raze the village to the ground." Hinata told Haku.
"Is Orochimaru here?" Haku asked.
Hinata shook her head, "Y-yes. K-Kabuto is leading it." Hinata was terrified, Orochimaru and Kabuto were back for her and they had a giant army to help him take them.
Hinata shook her head, "He knows the Hyuga clan is in the village, he probably devised a way to block our Byakugan. He had plenty of time experimenting on my eyes to know how to. What are we going to do Haku? Anko…she can't really be dead."
"Get over it Hinata. Anko and Zabuza are dead. I don't know how they got hit, they could have been put in a genjutsu or something, all it takes is a second distraction. They are gone and you need to move past it, or you'll join them. We have to get back to the village and help anyway we can. I heard Naruto, Kakashi, and Lord Jiraiya are out of the village, is this true?" Haku asked her.
"Yes, they are out of the village. How can you just write off your master like that?" Hinata asked, still stuck on the death of Anko.
"Hinata. Listen to me carefully, I have rank on you, I'm your commanding officer right now. If you don't forget about them for now and focus we are going to die. We will mourn them later, after this is all done, but they are gone. Do you have anyway of contacting Naruto? We need to make sure the three strongest ninja the village has are coming back to the village." Haku told her sternly.
Hinata glared at her, another ninja pulling rank on her to command her, "Yes, I can summon Kurama, she'll be able to tell Naruto. Kakashi won't be happy. He'll be broken, with Anko dead."
"I'm commanding you right now, leave that out of your message, that is a direct order." Haku told her, "Strictly tell them the village is under attack, its being invaded."
Hinata stared at Haku, "I-I can't do that to Kakashi, he has a right to know his betrothed is dead."
"We need Kakashi in his right mind, not angry about Anko." Haku told her simply.
Hinata grit her teeth, she went through handseals, summoning Kurama who was running with them, jumping through trees, "Hinata, what's going on?" The fox asked.
"The village is being invaded, I need you to tell Naruto that we need him and his team back here immediately." Hinata told her.
"What else is wrong?" Kurama asked, "I can sense your emotions, something else happened."
"I can't tell you." Hinata told her.
"Tell me now." Kurama demanded.
"Anko is dead." Hinata told her.
"Hinata! I told you not to tell her that!" Anko told her.
"You said leave that part out of my message, not that I couldn't tell one of my senseis when they demand an answer." Hinata told Haku fiercely.
Kurama disappeared that instance to tell Naruto, and Haku turned to Hinata, "Don't go around my orders like that again. You know damn well what you were doing. If anything happens to Kakashi because he is being rash its on your hands." Haku ended coldly.
The two continued to jumping through the trees to the village that was under attack. "Haku, the team chasing us just gave in and backed off, they are spreading out as well."
"Shit that isn't good." Haku told her.
"Why not? They stopped chasing us." Hinata asked back.
"They weren't going to catch us, that was never their goal necessarily. Their goal is to kill anyone that tries to leave, which means they aren't just trying to take the village, they want to kill everyone inside the village, and anyone who wants to flee. It's a straight up massacre no one will survive, we need to get into the village and get to the Hokage and inform her." Haku told her.
Hinata nodded, "We're approaching the wall, there is a group of soldiers infront of us, should we take them out, or try to go around them?"
"How many in this group?" Haku asked.
"20 ninja." Hinata told him.
"Right, what level are they according to chakra reserves?" Haku asked.
"Most are genin with 4 chunin in the group." Hinata told him.
"What do you think, can you take half of them?" Haku asked.
"I think we can take them."
"Good, hit them hard and fast. Do you have any jutsu that could take the whole group?" Haku asked.
"My giant water vortex could definitely hit them all, but probably not take them all out. Maybe if I hit it and you froze it when I hit them it could potentially take them all out." Hinata queried to her partner.
"Great idea, let's do it." Haku told her, the two then positioned themselves and Hinata went through the hand seals for her jutsu.
"Water Style: Giant Water Vortex Jutsu!" Hinata shouted as she finished her hand seals. All of the ninja looked at her as she pulled the moisture from the are and it began to spin as she shot a giant vortex pillar of water at her enemies.
Haku went through hand seals and shouted, "Freeze!" As he placed his hand in the vortex, freezing it as it went, freezing over all of their enemies. "Good work Hinata, now use your gentlefist and kill them. We can't take hostages, make sure they're dead."
Hinata nodded and the two jumped down and killed the group. Hinata turned to Haku as he killed the last one, using his ice sword to impale the last one. "Let's get to the Hokage." Haku told her.
They went through a hole in the wall and entered the village, heading towards the Hokage tower. They stopped when Hinata held a hand up, "H-Haku…the Hokage Tower…I-It's demolished."
Haku cursed, and pulled Hinata to the side behind a building, "Get down, we want to stay out of sight, you are a high value target. We need to figure out the situation." As Haku said that Shikamaru appeared trapping the group in his shadow. He took a deep breath and clenched his hands together. The shadows hardened and speared through them all, they all fell down dead. Shikamaru turned to Hinata and Haku.
"Hinata, I'm glad to see you, follow me. You too Haku." Shikamaru told them both. He disappeared in speed running through the alleys of the village, leading them into a small house. "Here I've gathered the others from our class Hinata. There is currently no chain of command, so I'm taking control of this group. Neji here spotted you and I came and got you. Tsunade is dead, so are the advisors. Tell me you already sent for Naruto."
"Yes, I had Hinata send for Naruto, Kakashi, and Jiraiya. Anko and Zabuza are dead as well." Haku said with no emotion in his voice. He was a weapon, with no one and nothing now.
"Good, without Naruto there's no chance we can win." Shikamaru told them. "Hinata, we'll assume you're a target, they know you're back in the village, so I want you and Haku to get out of the village and apply hit and run tactics. Devastate small groups of enemies before they can come into the village. Don't engage unless its an easy kill. I don't want the enemy knowing where Hinata is. Haku, you take lead. Neji, you and Rock Lee are with me, we will keep your team dynamic, as well as you're scouting, I need you to find me other groups of leaf ninja to coordinate with. Shino, you take Choji, Tenten, and Ino, you're in charge, start taking out those fucking snakes. Is everyone clear on what to do?"
Hinata spoke up, "Shouldn't I go with you instead of Neji? I have a much further range with my Byakugan."
"I wish I could take you Hinata, but you're too high profile everyone is looking to catch you, I need you running gorilla tactics and staying out of sight of the enemy. The longer they look for their objective the longer they will wait to unleash more devastating attacks on the village. This gives us an advantage we need. You all have you're orders, go." Shikamaru told them. Watching as they left leaving just him, Neji, and Lee. "Alright guys, you ready?" they both nodded and Shikamaru stood and went to work coordinating a counter attack.
Hinata sighed, it wasn't fair that she had been given this shitty mission, but Naruto would be back soon, and she would fall back under his command, and he would be in the action, she would get to fight beside him, show him her worth and be back on the frontlines with him eventually.
She and Haku took out multiple groups when finally, Naruto flashed in between Hinata and a group of 10 men, the 10 soldiers fell before Hinata was able to blink. Naruto turned to her and Haku, "What the hell is going on?" Naruto demanded.
"The village is under attack by Orochimaru." Haku told him.
Naruto nodded, "I saw that. Why are you out here doing this?"
"Shikamaru's orders. He said I was the target." Hinata said looking at the ground, unable to make eye contact with Naruto.
"Okay, Hinata, you're with me, Haku, find Shikamaru for reassignment." Naruto told them. He put his hand on Hinata but Haku stopped him.
"Naruto, wait. Do you really think its best you resume command of Hinata?" Haku asked.
"Yes, this is a dire situation, she knows how I operate and will support me best. I know how she fights and works more than anyone else. So yes. Any further questions?" Naruto challenged.
"No. Just raising a concern, I'm certainly not questioning a jonin." Haku told him.
With that Naruto and Hinata disappeared. They flashed into the village and Naruto asked her, "Jiraiya and Kakashi went after Orochimaru, they're going to take him on. Where are the guys with the next two highest chakra capacities? We take them out first."
"Sasuke and Sakura are in the north district of the village." Hinata told him eyes staring into the distance intensely, "He has a group of soldiers with jonin level chakra fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi. He's protecting Konohamaru. We have to save them."
Naruto sighed, he touched Hinata's shoulder and they flashed to the north district, to the highest rooftop in the area, Naruto turned to her, "Use your bow from here, back me up." He told her before flashing down into the fray, he appeared next to Konohamaru, a rasengan in hand and thrusted it into the man that was about to stab the boy from behind. The man flew backwards and crashed into a wall. Naruto turned tossing a kunai and blocking and diverting a stab that Sasuke made towards the distracted Hiruzen saving him.
Sasuke sent a glare Naruto's way, but Naruto was already gone, taking Konohamaru up to Hinata. "Stay here with Hinata, she'll protect you, I'm going to help your grandfather." Naruto flashed back down to the fight next to Sarutobi. "Lord Third, I'll take Sasuke, can you take his men?"
The old man nodded, "I believe I can."
"Hinata will cover Konohamaru and fire arrows down at our opponents as well." Naruto told the old Hokage.
Hiruzen nodded, "Right."
Sasuke chuckled, "Naruto, don't even think about it." Sasuke disappeared and reappeared next to Hinata in a burst of speed Naruto had yet to ever see from Sasuke.
Naruto cursed and flashed up next to Hinata. She was shocked to see Sasuke had moved so fast up to her. She spun her bow and blocked his chokuto, but the swing was so powerful that she was lifted off the ground, starting to shoot away from Konohamaru. Hinata tried to grab him to bring him with her away from Sasuke, but she failed. She watched with wide eyes as Sasuke stabbed at Konohamaru.
