Here comes the next chapter. There will be some fight scenes in this chapter. I told you guys that I am not so good at writing fight scenes. Anyway, Enjoy the story.

I don't own Naruto.

I don't own Tokyo Ghoul, too. ;)

Chapter 10: Touka vs the Investigators

Hinami and Naruto then walked downstairs.

"Hinami ... " said her mom.

"You miss him, don't you? I am sure he misses you too, Hinami. But we'll only make things difficult for him if we go see him now. I am sorry I have put you all through this." her mom said.

"Mom misses him too" she said while crying.

"Mom.." Hinami said as she ran towards her and the two of them hugged each other while crying.

"Hinami, I am sorry." she said as she rubbed her daughter's hair.

"It's okay. Don't cry Mom."

"I won't cry anymore. Thank you, Hinami. Let's wait him together ..."

The two of them released their hug and her mother said "I want to buy you a present to show you I'm sorry. Is there anything you want?"

Hinami then smiled and nodded.

"Thanks you mom" she said.

Kaneki then walked towards Naruto and said "Wow, Naruto. How did you talk to Hinami-chan?"

"Well, I just told her a story." he said with a grin. Then Hide came and said "This guy is Naruto you talked about?" as he looked at Naruto carefully. Naruto just looked at him back with a confused look.

"Hey Kaneki, why is he looking me like this?"

"I don't know. I have never seen Hide do something like this before."

Then Hide said "So ... you are after Touka-chan?"

"Huh? I am not. She is just my friend."

"If you say so, ... anyway, I have to go now Kaneki or I am going to miss my class. See ya!" he said as he rushed outside.

"Hmm... what a weird guy!"

"Hey he is my friend!" shouted Kaneki back.

"Okay okay I just saved your ass last night."

At the Afternoon

Kaneki walked into Hinami's room and saw her writing down the words.

"Oni-chan, How do you read this?" she said as she pointed out a word.

"Oh Let's see ... That's 'cloudburst.'"

"'Cloudburst'?" she repeated.

"It refers to a moment when it suddenly starts raining."

She down wrote down the word. Her mother came in and said "Hinami?"

"Oh mom"

"Are you learning new words?"

"Yep" she said as she nodded.

"Thanks for helping Hinami out." she said as she bowed at Kaneki.

"Oh, it's no problem." said Kaneki.

"I will be going then" he said as he take his leave.

"Thanks Oni-chan" Hinami said.

"Mom, look! I learned all the words in this book." she said as she showed her mother her book.

"Really? Good Job?"

"So now mom, ... I want a new book."

"Huh?"

"I want to learn more words to surprise Dad!"

"So why don't we go a bookstore together."

Hinami nodded and both of them left to buy a book.

After they have bought a book, both of them left the shop. It has already started to rain.

"Wow, mom, you are right. It's raining now" said the happy girl.

"See? Mom knows best after all" she said as she opened an umbrella.

"Yup" she said as she nodded. They then started to walk to the cafe.

On their way home, her mom saw two investigators. She then tightened the grip on her daughter's hand and walked the opposite direction.

The two investigators saw them and they followed after them.

"Mom?"

"I just remembered something else I have to do."

Hinami suddenly stopped walking.

"Hinami?"

She smelt something in the air and said "It's Dad!"

"Mom, Dad is somewhere nearby!" she shouted as she ran towards the direction where she smelt her dad.

"Ah Hinami" she said.

"Mom this way!"

"Hinami, wait!"

She then ran into a street and stopped. Her mom then reached her and stopped behind her.

"Hinami!"

They hen saw two investigators in front of them.

"Nice weather today, isn't it?" said the white haired man. Then the two other investigators surrounded the two women.

"May I have a moment with you guys, Fueguchi-san?"

Her mom then put her hand on Hinami's shoulder and told "ran away, Hinami" as her wing-like kagune appeared.

"Mom?"

"It's okay. Head on back to Anteiku, I'll catch up soon."

Tears started to well up in Hinami's eyes. Then she remember something Naruto told her.

Flashback Starts

"Keep this and if something happen, do this.." he said as he handed her some kind of kunai.

"What is this?" she asked as she looked at the kunai in her hands.

"It is a tri-pronged kunai that my father invented."

"What do I have to do with this?" she asked.

"Well, throw it on the ground, and I will suddenly appear in front of you."

Flashback Ends

"Wait mom ... " she said as she took out a kunai that Naruto gave.

"What is it?" Her mom asked.

She then threw it on the ground.

Then the two investigators behind them shot them with Q-Bullets.

Suddenly a flash appeared and someone with a kitsune mask deflected all the bullets which were coming towards them.

"Why don't you guys let the ladies stay alone?" he said.

"Oh ... so you are the one that those white things talked about." said Mado.

The newcomer's eyes narrowed at it.

"Hmm ... But why don't you have blue eyes and blond hair." said Mado.

His eyes widened at this.

"Stay back Amon-kun, you have done enough. I will do it myself." he said as he took out his quinque.

"No, it can't be!" said the frightened Ryouko.

"Hahahaha, ... It certainly can!" he shouted.

Tears started to fall from the Ryouko and Hinami's eyes.

"Dear/Dad ..." they both said the same time.

"Good! This is great!" Mado shouted as he swung his quinque. But before it could hit the Ryouko, the masked man blocked it. "That's enough! You have already done what you shouldn't. I won't let you harm any one of them anymore."

"Hmm. So I will have to kill you first."

The masked man then threw the kunai towards his face. But he tilted his head to dodged it and the kunai landed behind him.

"Is that al-"

Before he could finished his sentence, the masked man then appeared behind him and grabbed his kunai and slice his back with his kunai. Blood started to pour down from his back. He then kicked another investigator and he was sent flying back to the wall behind him.

"Hmm... you are not that strong." said the masked man.

"I was expecting more from you."

Mado then got up and said "You are not bad... you are going to be harder then I thought to kill you."

"Huh, big words coming from the man who is going to die soon enough."

The woman and the girl were just watching the masked man before them.

Mado then rushed toward the masked man to strike him. But he just blocked him with his kunai and said "Never come back again or I will hurt you more than this." He then stroke his back with his wind chakra coated kunai and his hand passed through his stomach. The man then fell to the ground.

"Mado-san!" shouted the other investigator as he ran towards him. Naruto then suddenly shunshined behind the two other investigators and knocked them behind their necks. They then fell unconscious and fell to the ground. Only the investigator named Amon was left conscious. The masked man then walked towards the two ladies and said "Come on, Let's get out of here. I will answers your questions later."

They two of them started following the masked man. When he reached a certain distance where investigators can't see or follow them the masked man then removed his mask and dropped the henge. "Naruto?" asked Hinami.

"Hey hey, Hinami-chan, sorry for not telling you earlier. I can't let the doves see me."

"Thank you for saving us Naruto." said Ryouko with a sad smile. She has lost her husband. How could she be happy although she is alive right now? Naruto noticed this and said "Don't worry Ryouko-san, he is still alive with you inside your heart. That's the truth which will never change."

"Thanks Naruto-kun." she said.

"But I will be leaving Anteiku. They have seen my face."

"No mom! You can't!" Hinami shouted.

"I am sorry Hinami-chan, I have to." she said as she kneed on the ground.

"I love you, Hinami-chan, Mom will be right back. I promise you." she said as she hugged her daughter one last time.

After a long hug, she then released her daughter and looked at Naruto and said "Please protect my daughter while I am away."

"Don't worry Ryouko-san, I will"

After she had heard Naruto's answer, she ran away from them. Hinami tried to follow her but she stopped as Naruto put his hand on her shoulder. She then looked at him. He just shook his head.

"Like I said before, Hinami-chan, both of your parents will be still with you in your heart until your last breath."

She then hugged Naruto. Tears started to fell from her eyes and soaked Naruto's jumpsuit.

"Please Naruto oni-chan, never ever leave me." she said with teary eyes.

"I won't Hinami-chan,... I won't. I will never leave your side."

The girl then fell asleep on his shoulders. She was so tired. He then carried her back to the Anteiku.

At the Evening

Touka finally came down from her room into the manager's office. She then saw the manager, Yomo, Nishio, Kaneki, Naruto.

She then said "I'm sorry for skipping out on so much work."

"It's fine." the manager said.

"Um, did something happen?"

"Ghoul investigators attacked Ryouko-san and Hinami-chan today." the manager replied.

Her eyes widened and punched the wall beside her in anger.

"What happened? Are they safe?"

"Naruto-kun got there in time and saved her. Hinami-chan is sleeping right now. But Ryouko-san has left us. The investigators have seen their face and she decided to leave us. But she entrusted her daughter with us."

She then fell to the ground.

"Could things get any worse?" she muttered to herself. She suddenly stood up and asked

"We could have always kill the Doves, right? Every last one of them. I mean, we have Yomo-san and Naruto-kun. They both are really strong. And if we all work together..."

"No. If the 20th Ward Doves are killed in action, they will replace one after another. Until they've hunted all of us down." said Yomo.

"But-"

"Touka-chan, that's enough! For the sake of everyone's safety, this is the only path we must take. We all are sorry for what happened but we can't change the past." said Naruto.

"They could have died if you weren't there, what if they tried to attack them again."

"Touka-chan, you have to calm down. Everything is fine for now." Naruto said.

"Is that what you called fine? Ryouko has left us and the Doves has seen their face! If you don't do anything, they all will hunt us down " she said in anger as they ran upstairs towards her room.

"I will try to talk to her later." Naruto said as he left the room.

He then walked into her house and knocked her bedroom door and said "Hey Touka-chan ..."

No response came from the inside.

"I just want to tell you that ... Don't do anything in haste. Or you will be in big trouble."

"If you don't want to talk to me, I won't say anymore. Just don't do anything stupid." he said as he went to his couch and sat down.

"Hey Kurama, that man earlier ... he said white things. Could those things be white Zetsu?"

"Yeah it could be. It has high possibility. We already have encountered one. And I think there are many more Zetsu. Not only one. "

"What do you think about it? Why would they tell him about me?"

"I don't know kit. You killed many of them in the last war. So might be after you. Or they might have a plan ..."

The Next Day Morning

"By this report, Jason is not in 20th Ward."

"Do you suspect Jason's involvement in those movements?"

"Hmm... my instincts are telling that there is some other thing. But there is nothing we can do here."

"The remaining S-rated ghouls in the 20th Ward are... the binge eater and the Gourmet?" the other investigator asked.

"They are both keeping a low profile. It is a waste of effort if we go after them." Mado said.

"So we go back to small pickings and catch them up one by one." said Amon.

"We'll definitely reel in a big fish that way." said Mado.

He then stood up from his chair and said "All right. From tomorrow, we will continue our detective work."

"That's all for today. Enjoy the evening." he said as he left the meeting.

"Very well/Yes sir." said the other two investigators.

"Oh by the way, the child has seen our faces. So be sure to watch yourselves."

After their meeting, Amon and the two investigators went to a shop and had their breakfast. After Amon had left, the two investigators continued their breakfast.

They then left to return to their home.

"Passionate ones are first to die huh?" said the first investigator.

Then someone came running towards them. She then sliced his face and the investigator fell to the ground.

"Kusaba...?" he then saw someone in front of her.

"Why you ..."

She then came rushing towards him to kill him. But before she could hit. Someone from behind pushed the investigator down.

"Nakajima-san, stand back!" Amon ordered.

"Who's that?" asked the one with rabbit mask.

She then rushed towards Amon and punched him but he blocked it.

Suddenly she tackled him and kicked his face when he fell down.

Her kagune appeared behind her and started shooting the shards towards him. He dodged them. But she suddenly appeared in front of him and kneed him in the jaw. He was sent back to a wall behind him. She started to walk towards him. Suddenly something fell between them and she flipped backward.

"That's right Amon, ... That's what it is to be a ghoul investigator. But forgetting to bring your quinque is not good, you know?" said a man with white hair.

"Mado-san..."

"Take a breath. I will handle it." he said as he swung his quinque towards her. She dodged that.

"Oh, Well done indeed. Are you perhaps friends with that female ghoul from yesterday?"

She then rushed towards him and hit him. But he just dodged it. She then tried to hit him many times but he kept dodging. "This is some great time, Amon-kun! Let's go over what you learned at Academy."

She then tried to hit him with the shards from her kagune. He blocked it using his quinque.

"A ghoul with an ukaku is entirely depend on speed."

"However, they all share a lack of stamina."

She was now trying to catch her breath. She has been striking him continuously.

He then tackled her and she fell to the ground.

"You are friends with the female ghoul from yesterday, right? Would you mind telling me where she is? Oh and do you know where the Kitsune is? He is really strong. We need to capture him."

She then rushed towards him. Suddenly he swung his quinque. It was already too late. She couldn't dodged it anymore. And it hit her right arm.

"Do you have any idea how many of your fellow sum I've wiped out? You're nothing more than a number." he said as he rushed towards the lying girl.

But before he could reached her, someone picked her up and started to run away. He just only saw blond hair. But not his face.

"Naruto Uzumaki ..."

"You alright Mado-san?" Amon asked as he ran towards him.

"Yes yes, I am fine. We will need to hunt them tomorrow." Mado answered.

With Naruto

"You all right Touka-chan?" he asked the injured girl while running towards the cafe.

"I am fine. Why did you come?"

"Why not? You are my friend after all. I will always protect my friends."

"But it has nothing to do with you. You can always just walk away..."

"I can't walk away if my friends get involved. Anyway, you need to get bandaged up. You're bleeding."

"I don't need it."

"Of course you need. You are wounded badly."

"I don't care what ever it happens to me."

"But, ... Ya know, I would be sad if something bad happens to you. So please let me help you." he said as he dropped the girl down and grabbed a scroll. The girl just looked at him confusedly.

"What is that?"

"Wait and see" he said as he unroll the scroll. There was a strange symbol written in the scroll. He put his hand above it. In a poof of smoke, first aid kit appeared out of nowhere.

"H-How did you do it?"

"Well, I just pour some chakra into it. Back in our village, we store things this way so we can spare more space."

He then wrapped the bandage carefully around her right arm.

"This should be fine." he said as he resealed the first aid kit and helped her to get up.

"Thanks Naruto."

"Come on, Let's head back to Anteiku. And next time don't do anything stupid without letting me know."

The Next Day

"We are going to split up?" asked Amon.

"Yes. The waterway is rather extensive. Rabbit and the Kitsune. Nothing would be better than killing both of them."

"Are you sure they will show up?"

"My instincts say so."

"Very well."

"Let's go then." as he carried his two suitcase and a small bag.

"Mado-san, what are those."

"Some things are better left unsaid."

Night time at Anteiku

Hinami was still crying in her room. She then smelt something in the air.

"Mom...?"

With Touka and Kaneki

"Touka-chan, where have you been the whole day?"

"None of your business."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"There is nothing you can do right now."

She then walked towards the Hinami's room and opened the door and saw no one.

"Hinami?"

"Hinami!" she shouted as she saw the window opened.

"Kaneki, tell Naruto that Hinami is missing. I am going to look for Hinami!" she shouted as she rushed outside to find the girl.

Hinami was just walking towards the place where she smelt her mom's scent.

Touka went around the city to look for Hinami.

"Touka-chan!" shouted Naruto.

"No good, she is not here too. Anything on your end?"

He shook his head.

Then a white thing appeared in front of them.

"Uzumaki Naruto ... We meet again."

Naruto went into his fighting stance.

"Naruto, what is that?" Touka asked.

"I will explain you later. Now go and find Hinami quick. She is in danger right now. If these things are involved, nothing is going to be good."

She just nodded and ran towards the waterway to find Hinami.

"You seem like you have been evolved or something like that." he said. The Zetsu is now bigger and taller with three heads and his eyes were red and he also had three additional limbs.

"Hmm... it has been so long since the 4th Shinobi War."

His eyes widened at it.

"What do you mean so long?"

"Eh ... you still don't know anything yet. But soon, you will find out."

With Hinami

She walked towards the place where she could smell her mom's scent. She then screamed when she saw her mom's hand.

Kaneki heard it.

"She is close." said Kaneki as he ran towards the direction where he heard her scream.

Touka was already running towards her. He saw her running and saw an investigator following her.

He then rushed between them.

"With that speed, that is Rabbit." said Amon.

Suddenly a man in blue jacket landed in front of him.

"Who are you?" the investigator asked.

With Touka

When she reached Hinami, she saw Hinami sitting and crying.

"Hinami."

She then saw a bag in her hands and asked "What's that, Hinami?"

"Mom. .."

"Let's get out of here, Hinami! It's dangerous here."

"No! Is it wrong for ghouls to live? I want to be with mom."

She then hugged the girl while crying.

"I miss mom..."

Touka then heard someone walking towards them.

With Kaneki

"A friend of Rabbit? I don't have time to entertain you. Why don't you step aside?"

He then removed his hood and showed him the mask.

"I won't let you pass!"

With Touka

"How is that wound of yours doing, Rabbit? Oh and where is your friend, ... Naruto?"

She then stood up.

"Oh that's right! Did you like the present I left you? You might miss your dear mother."

"You bastard" she said in fury as her eyes turned red and her kagune appeared.

With Kaneki

He rushed towards the investigator and tried to hit him. The investigator has kept dodging. He then suddenly grabbed Kaneki and slammed him on the ground.

"Going to take me seriously? Well then..." he said as he took out his quinque.

He swung his quinque and Kaneki fell to the ground.

With Touka

Mado took out his quinque from his suitcase and started attacking her.

She tried to kick him but he blocked it with his quinque.

"You are on a different level compared to the other small fry, aren't you?" Mado asked. He swung his quinque again and again to hit. But she kept dodging.

"Bounce around! Keep bouncing around, you little gnat!"

"You can't use your weapon efficiently here." Touka said.

She then rushed toward him and slammed him on the wall.

His mouth spat blood.

With Kaneki

"I've always had a question for your freaks. You casually prey on innocent people and compulsively devour them. Why does your kind exist? The children whose parents have been killed... the loneliness. Have their feelings crossed your mind even once? Answer me" Amon asked as he walked towards the lying Kaneki.

"Rabbit murdered one of my friends? Why was he killed? Because he was an investigator? Because he was a human? What reason did she have to take his life away?"

"This world has a lot of wrongs. And scums like you are the reason for all this!" he shouted as he hit him with his quinque.

With Touka

"The error of realizing that your life is being mindlessly preyed on... Do you understand how that feels? Having the people dear to you crushed like insects beneath your feet... Do you have any idea how that feels?" she asked as she looked at the lying man.

"Why don't you tell me the reason for Ryouko-san's death?"

"If it weren't for people like you!? Die!" she said as she shot the shards towards him.

But suddenly he used another of his suitcases to blocked her attack. He then took out his quinque.

"Well? You know what this is, don't you?"

"It's your ... dearly beloved ... mother!" he said.

Hinami's eyes then widened and screamed.

"Quinque are made by using ghouls kagune after all" he said as he laughed madly.

"You bastard ..." she screamed as she rushed towards him.

With Naruto

Cling

The two swords clashed each other. Naruto then flipped backward.

"Huh, ... I think it is enough." said the Zetsu.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"I already have taken enough of your time."

His eyes widened as realization hit his head.

"You bastard!"

"Well, we will meet again, Naruto Uzumaki. You can still see her death if you go now." the evolved Zetsu said as he melted into the ground and disappeared.

Naruto then resealed his sword.

'Oh shit, I have to rush towards her.'

Author's Note:

Sorry for a little late. I have been busy lately. There is also something I didn't say in this chapter. There will be more mysteries in later chapters too. But I will explain some of them in later chapter. Hehe, See ya later. I will upload again on Sunday if I can. But I am not so sure.

Ja ne!
