Hey guys im back! Sorry it took a while for this next chapter. Stuff with life caught up with me and i had to take care of it. And to address something i read in the reviews. 1.) yes i know that for the moment my timeline is weird and wonky. But i don't really plan these things out ahead of time. I just write with the flow. 2.) the reason i had decided to put Hinata in the tomb as well was because….well you'll see. And finally, the limits of Naruto's abilities are as of now unknown. I wanted a godlike Naruto but i hadn't really considered where his limits will be. But besides all that i do hope that you guys will like this chapter. Now down we go to the rabbit hole that is BURIED PAST!

Chapter 7
Naruto couldn't believe it. Out of all the people that those bastards could have chosen, it had to be Hinata. The one person who meant the world to him. The one person that truly understood him. The mother to his children, standing in front of him. Naruto clenched his fists hard enough that blood had started leaking through. The Gods could have chosen anyone from his past life. Instead they resorted to this? Using his love against him? And here he thought the gods couldn't get more cowardly.
And what's worse, she was wearing her wedding dress. The same dress that she wore long ago during they're wedding. A silk woven Kimono with hints of lavender colored pedals etched into the dress. Patterns of flowers climbing from the bottom. She was so beautiful in that dress that Naruto had almost thought she was a goddess when he first saw her. And it had him even more angry.
When this was over he would have to pay the gods a visit.
" Hello Naruto, i missed you." said Hinata climbing out of the coffin.
" I did too Hinata. But why are you here? I thought you were buried with the kids."
Hinata had died along with his children when the gods invaded his lands. A certain god of the sun had burned their home to the ground. Trapping them inside. He tried desperately to get them out, but the roof had collapsed. Immediately killing them. Naruto had gathered they're ashes and buried them on a hillside on the coast of his kingdom. It was Hinata's favorite spot to go to calm her mind. she loved the sight of the ocean lapsing along with the sunset. It had calmed him too.
" I was. But i was put here as a safe guard for...well you." she walked closer to Naruto, but he stepped back the closer she got.
" Let me guess. Your here to put me back aren't you?" He said with his eyes slowly changing to his crimson red color.
" Im sorry Naruto. I dont wish to hurt you, but they'll torture our children if i dont." from beneath her sleeves two Kusarigama were pulled out. (the little ninja sickles with chains on them)
" ...i understand hinata. Do your best."
With Lighting fast speed Hinata was in front of Naruto bringing one of her kusarigama downward. But Naruto raised his forearm to block it but quickly noticed the other kusarigama was coming from behind him. ( kind of like the god of war chains.) he quickly ducked down and raised his forearms to block the incoming kusarigama. Hinata almost thought his arm was going to fly off but noticed the skin on his arms darkened. ( think of greed's ultimate shield from FMAB.)
Using her shock to his advantage Naruto sweeped his feet under her to try and trip her. Hinata rolled on top of him to avoid his feet and tried to strike behind him once again. Striking his back it seemed Hinata had made first blood but after a few seconds his form dissipated and revealed a wood log in place. She quickly turned around to see three Naruto's running towards her with Rasengans in their hands.
Hinata threw a couple of kunai and managed to hit two of the clones but the last one managed to get close and shoved the Rasengan into her abdomen. The explosive force sent her to the opposite side of the room crashing against the wall. Leaving a big hole in place.
" you've gotten better Hinata. Im guessing those bastards enchanced your abilities. Hoping it would at least be a challenge for me." Said Naruto as he was cracking his knuckles
Hinata was always a good fighter to begin with, part of the reason why he married her. While she may look timid and shy she was no stranger to shedding blood. Life in they're village required them to be the best warriors that they can. At a young age it was mandatory for children at 10 to start training to become a part of they're kingdoms military. Because back then all the world had ever known was war. War was the only means of survival in that time.
But Hinata...she was one of the only people who didn't want to fight. Amongst the many people in Naruto's life, Hinata was the only one who would try to avoid a fight. She was just like that. It didn't matter who or what the conflict would be about, she would try her best to turn it around with her smile. A kind, gentle smile. That's what Naruto loved about her.
But this. This fight she was forced to do, to save her children from eternal torment...it killed her on the inside. That's what made this fight hard for Naruto. He knew that Hinata was suffering because of the arrogance of the gods. When this was over, he was going to have a serious 'conversation' with them. And by conversation he meant beat the living shit of them for making one of his loved ones suffer. But for now he had to end this quickly. For her sake.
"Naruto?"
His eyes widened. He turned his eyes from hinata to behind him. Standing right behind him were the Titans. Raven and Starfire were at the front of the group while the boys were just coming down the flight of stairs. Raven was the one who spoke, staring directly at Naruto. Starfire looked over towards Hinata and she frowned a little. She didnt know alot of english but that didn't make her a fool. She could put two and two together. And right now she figured who she was to Naruto. She was his wife, and judging by the looks of the area around them they were fighting.
"Naruto? The hells going on man?" asked Cyborg as he aimed his cannon towards Hinata.
But before he knew it a Kunai was thrown towards Cyborg, no one saw it until Naruto quick got in front of Cyborg and grabbed the kunai. Cyborg was sweating bullets. His motion tracker didnt detect the incoming object, it must've been going faster then it could detect.
"Leave them out of this Hinata. This is between you and me, no innocents." He said just as he crushed the kunai with his fingers.
"Im sorry Naruto, but i cannot allow anyone to interfere. Innocent or not." she quickly grabbed more kunai from her sleeve and attempted to throw them again.
But as quickly as she pulled more kunai out of her dress Naruto was in her face and attempted a punch, Hinata however leaned back and grabbed Naruto's arm. But Naruto anticipated this and twisted around and flung Hinata to the wall of the tomb. Making a crater where she landed.
"Guys i need you to step back. You'll only get in the crossfire."
"But who is she?" asked Robin
"...his wife." said Starfire putting a hand on Robins shoulder
Naruto was sent flying as Hinata clocked him in the face. She followed up by throwing a couple of kunai in his direction only for naruto to deflect them.
"That was a cheap shot Hinata….just like old times heh." he smirked wiping the dribble of blood leaking from the corner of his lip.
"Indeed, though i dont hit as hard as Tsunade...she could blow a mountain off with her punches if i remember correctly"
"Hehe she's kidding right?" asked a very nervous Beastboy cowering behind Cyborg. He did not want to get in between these two right now. Because if there was someone that had strength equal to superman then he seriously hoped she was joking
Sadly however the look he received from Naruto was the *shes not joking* look.
"...seriously?" said beastboy sweating bullets at this point. Cyborg was in the same boat too, he could only imagine someone blowing a mountain away with a single flick of her wrist. That was a scary enough thought on its own.
"Yeah granny always had a bit of a temper. Course if i was in a dry spell for 40 years i probably would've been pissed too." as he was saying this he blocked incoming kunai that Hinata had thrown at him.
…
"What?"
"TMI dude…..just TMI" said Cyborg pinching the bridge of his nose.
As soon as the silence was broken Hinata charged forward and spun around delivering a roundhouse kick to Naruto's temple. Hinata had put enough force into it to knock someone like Mammoth across the other side of the room. But Naruto didn't move an inch, the best that kick did was knock the dust over his shoulder. Her eyes widened a little before she remembered who she was dealing with.
'Shit that was close, if i hadn't pulled my shield in time she would've knocked my head clean off.'
Naruto narrowed his eyes towards Hinata, he wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks but i almost seemed like she was getting faster. It was getting to the point that he had to use his heightened senses just to see her. The titans weren't better off either as of this point she was nothing but a blur to them. He had to find a way to somehow unbind Hinata from this safeguard as she put it. But how…..shit he was dumb as bricks.
'Hey Raven! You know any unbinding spells in that head of yours!?' he shouted mentally to raven while dodging another kick from Hinata
'W-wait you have telepathy?' said Raven kinda taken aback by this
'Yeah i do long story, just listen i need you to work some of that magic on my old prison. I think whatever put my wife here linked her to the coffin, when i got out it must have triggered a failsafe waking her up. I'll keep her busy while you unbind Hinata from this fucking place.'
'I'll try but...if i do this your wife may not survive. this binding magic maybe whats been keeping her alive down here, if i cut off the connection s-'
'I know the risks. My wife...she deserves peace. Its the only way'
'...understood. I'll get to work'
