(Bell's Point Of View)

Team Kakashi were on our way to meet up with Team Kurenai and Kakashi-sensei, but when we got there, we had no signs that they were close to where we were.

"Man! They better not have forgotten about the group behind them!" Naru shouted as Captain turned to Sai, "Can you do reconnaissance from the sky?"

He nodded and did his Super Beast Scroll to make a bird to check from the skys.

Naru started walking away, "We've got some time until Sai comes back. Wait for me here a while."

Sakura asked where he was going and he said that he was going to go pee which made me smile and shake my head while I talked to Sakura for awhile until a fog came in from the ocean near us.

I looked around trying to look for Naru, but I couldn't find him or sense him which confused me. My power of sensory is usually pretty good, but I guess not.

Once the fog disappeared, I saw Naru staring in a direction where there was no one there which confused me as to why he was staring that way.

Sai landed next to us, and told us that he found one of Shino's insect which made me nod as Naru jumped back towards us and I told him about Shino's bug.

Naru aplogized saying that he met someone that he knew which made Sakura scoff, saying that he was lying, "He was really there, I'm telling you! A boy about this tall..."

I shook my head, telling him that I believed him which made him smile at him, thank him for which I smiled back and we started back on our way.

We ran until we got to this dome that was made out of crystal for which Naru shouted, asking what it was, "Crystals This is unmistakably the enemy's Jutsu. And it seems huge."

He looked over to Sai for which he nodded and did his Super Beast Scroll to make a bird to check from the sky.

When he came back down, he said that is was about a kilometer across which made Captain Yamato hum, "One kilometer... It must be the work of someone very skilled."

Naru said that we need to break through for which we were confused as to what we were supposed to do. "Captain Yamato, can't we bust down the wall the way we did when we snuck into Orochimaru's hideout?"

He shook his head, "I'm afraid that this crystal possesses an extremely tight structure at the molecular level. Unlike the clay wall, there are no weak spots. Butif we went from underground Even the ground itself is encased in crystal. There are no weak spots at all. It appears very strong. It doesn't look like we could break it with a Jutsu concentrated at one point."

Naru nodded, "I agree... With something this large, the force would be dispersed equally, weakening the power of the attack. It would have to be a Jutsu that could do both widespread and powerful damage... Sounds like fun!"

Sakura gasped, "You mustn't, Naruto!" He smiled at Sakura, " I'll be fine, Sakura. I won't use that Jutsu. Let me try out a Jutsu I've been working on!"

This made me smile as he bit his thumb and did the hand signs for the Summoning Jutsu for which the two toads from training appeared.

Sakura asked what he could do with a summoning for which I just smiled at Naru as he spoke, "ust watch and see! Here's what we're going to do! We haven't perfected it yet, but it's all we've got! Let's do it, Gamatatsu! Inhale through the nose! Hold it in then exhale it all at once! Now!"

When nothing happened I asked what happened and so did Naru and Gamatatsu said that he forgot to mold the Chakra so we tried it again, "Okay, get yourself together and we'll try it again! Mold Chakra in your stomach and inhale through the nose! Hold it in then exhale it out all at once. Now! Wind Style: Toad Water Pistol! We did it!"

He did the Synchronizing Jutsu that he has been practicing for a while which broke the crystal, cracking it into million of pieces.

Going into the place that blocked off, we found Team Kurenai and Kakashi-sensei trying to comfront a woman with crystal blades on her forearms.

What really shocked me, was seeing my best friend in a case of crystal, unmoving, and not breathing.

" Hinata! You! What did you do to Hinata!?" Naru shouted as I asked Kakashi-sensei what we could do, "We can't attack them recklessly since Hinata has been taken hostage. Besides, any small shock will cause that crystal to shatter."

I felt anger burn inside me as I watch Hinata, my best friend, just laying there motionless in a case of Crystal.

Naru tried doing the water pistol with Gamatatsu again for which the woman just made the water into crystal which shocked me. The woman scoffed, "My Crystal Style can crystallize all materials. You need ten more years of experience before you can challenge me... "Crystal Style: Burst Crystal Falling Dragon".

We all ran out of the way as Kakashi-sensei asked if we were okay. Naru asked what happened as Sensei spoke, "She crystallized your Jutsu and turned it into her own Jutsu. Listen, Naruto! I'll get her attention. You protect Hinata, then pull out from the battle! Hinata's life is the top priority right now."

We all distracted the woman as Gamatatsu was about to put Crystalized Hinata into his mouth then we all disappear with him as we run away.

Once we were a far enough distance, Naru said to bring out Hinata, gently for which he did. I was relieved to see that Hinata was unharmed but was still unmoving which made my blood boil.

I felt someone grab my hand so I turn to see a concerned Naru so I softly smiled at him, telling him that I was alright and that Hinata was our top priority right now.

Suddenly, the crystal started to crack so Naru started to freak out and I felt a tear fall from my eye, not wanting my best friend to die.

I put my hand on the crystal which made my eyes widen as I say that I could feel her Chakra still which shock everyone.

The crystal broke, and the crystal broke into little pieces but Hinata stayed a whole which made me breathe out the air I didn't know I was holding.

Helping her sit up, I hug her with tears coming from my eyes for which she stuttered my name and hugged me back. Letting her go, I wipe away my tears and ask if she was alright for which she smiled and nodded.

We were confused why Hinata didn't shatter so she started to explain, "When I received the Jutsu I released my Chakra from my Chakra Points all at once, to make a thin film in which to cover myself."

I asked Kakashi-sensei what we should do now for which he hummed, "I think we were lucky because Hinata was the only victim of the Crystal Style We don't have any countermeasures against the Crystal Style at this point, so retreating is the best option for now."

Naru shouted, "But then, they'll get away! Right. Unless we stay on the look out, we'll lose them!"

He hummed again, "It was so much trouble finding them. I'm afraid that if we let them go now, we'll never find them again Then here's the plan. We have enough members, so let's split into two groups. Sai and Sakura, you two stand by here to wait for Hinata's recovery. The others will track them."

Kiba then spoke up, "But as they move, they're erasing their scent. It's impossible to track them, even for Akamaru. How can we find someone that seems so impossible to track?"

Kakashi-sensei looked at him, "We can use their monitoring bats. However, if we get too close to a bat, they'll find us first. So we should be very careful from this point on. It's a pain, but we don't have a choice I have something to add. We also should be careful about the Crystal Style barrier which Naruto just broke. Even if you find them, don't attack. After all, our goal is to investigate them."

The summons said that they were going home for which Naru and Kakashi-sensei nodded to their summons and started on our way.

After going a little distance, Naru started to groan, "Damn it! We shouldn't have taken our eyes off them, even for a moment! We have to start tracking them all over again! Because of the bats, we can't move freely!"

Shino said that he had a plan for which he spoke, "Let's change our way of thinking. Not wanting the bats to find us is a problem. But if we assume the bats will find us, we can take advantage of them. The supersonic waves of the bats won't work far away. When the bats sense our presence, how do they report it to the enemy?"

Kiba nodded, "Oh, I get it now! Now that you mention it, you're right. Good work figuring it out, Shino!"

Kakashi-sensei asked if everyone understoid for which KIba scoffed, "Who doesn't understand? We're all Chunin and Jonin. Oops! There's one Genin... and one Anbu."

Naru got up in his face, asking if he wanted a fight, but I calmed him down by putting a hand on his shoulder as Kakashi-sensei spoke, "Naruto, make three Shadow Clones, line them up ten meters away from each other and have them run around the grounds!"

He did as he was told and as Naru was confused as to why he was doing this for which sensei answered, "Because there's no reason for the bats to be flying around during the daytime without a good reason."

Naru said that he found them so we headed that way which was towards the ocean as I felt a strong presence of Chakra that made me stop in fear.

Kakashi-sensei put a hand on my shoulder asking if I was okay for which I couldn't answer so Shino answered for me, "My insectsfeel a weird Chakra. Weird Chakra? They've never felt so much Chakra before."

Kiba agreed as Kakashi-sensei shook me and told me that we had to go for which I nodded and we headed towards the giant Chakra.

I had to sing in my head to keep calm because it was the only thing I could do to stop my shaking.

"What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh"

We made it to the ocean and I have finally stopped shaking, but...

What we found there was very troublesome.
