Welcome backs guys! I was pleasantly surprised to the reception the first chapter of this fanfic got, so here is the next part! This is the set up chapter so after things will get rolling! Remember that this story is rated M btw. I don't know if I'll ever write any sex scenes, but this story does get rather graphic. Enjoy!

I don't own Naruto. Probably a good thing, I was never good with deadlines.

Chapter 1: Drowning in the Ocean

'Shit!' thought Akio, trying to go run faster, the hyuuga heiress on his back jostling lightly. It wasn't supposed to go like this. He never wanted to take on this damn job in the first place! The only reason he was forced on this doomed mission was because he was the only cloud ninja that was relatively unknown that had the skills necessary to do this!

First he had to pose as a servant to the cloud's diplomat that was stationed in the leaf. Something that he certainly didn't set well with. He and his family grew up as servants to cloud dignitaries, and now that he was finally a jounin, he had to go back to acting like a servant! then he had to worry about infiltrating the hyuuga compound and finding the hyuuga girl, not an easy task when everyone living there could see through fucking wall. finally, when he thought he was finally on the home stretch, a loud child had started to give chase! He wasn't getting paid enough for this bullshit!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HINATA!"

Fine. Akio slowed to a stop, he had his orders: no witnesses. Hell, it's not like he had anything against the kid, but it was either the kid or him. It wasn't a difficult choice to make.

Naruto kept running, chasing after the black-clad ninja. They had gone at least two miles into the forests surrounding the leaf village, nearing a river. The sound of rushing water started to take over the sound in Naruto's ears. This was the farthest he's ever gone, and he was worried no one was going to be able to come to the rescue. It was up to Naruto now. Now if only he had more extensive training then damn meditation!

"Naruto watch out! That ninja is doing something!"

Kurama was right. Akio was doing something. He had come to an abrupt stop, next to the river bank, throwing Hinata to the ground besides him. This jolted her awake, apparently from a drugged sleep. "Na-na-naruto-kun, what's going on?"

Naruto stopped running, he was ready fight to save his friend. Naruto took up a basic boxers stance, hands in fists up to his face and spread legs, and as he rushed the ninja, and took a swing. Akio caught Naruto's fist, using his taller height to his advantage. "Sorry kid, nothing personal." He then used to grip to force Naruto's arm down while bringing his knee up, catching Naruto's arm in between.

CRACK!

The sound of breaking bones almost made Hinata throw up. She heard it over and over in Hinata's ears. The sight of Naruto's Arm making a ninety degree angle looked awful. This was her Naruto! Her Best friend! Her closest companion! And he was getting hurt, trying to save her! She screamed. "NARUTO-KUN!"

For Naruto, it was even worse. He almost couldn't believe it, the sight of his arm bending that way was almost surreal. He just couldn't believe it. Then he felt the pain. It was like fire racing up his arm, burning every nerve ending on it's way up. He had never felt anything like it. He fell to his knees, holding his arm. Was this real? How did this even happen? Just earlier in the day he was hanging out his friend! How did everything go to shit so quickly?

Akio wanted to end this quickly. He had never been particularly good at fighting civilians, much less children. Something about facing an opponent that couldn't defend themselves made his heart clench. "Sorry kid, but I have a job to do." He brought his hands up and started making hand signs. He focused his chakra to his eyes, and looked directly into Naruto's. He didn't want to kill the kid, he just wanted to get him off his back.

"SOLAR FLARE NO-JUTSU!"

For Hinata, it was like she was stuck in the worst nightmare in the world. She watched pure white light emit from the kidnappers eyes, and Naruto received to full brunt of the attack. Naruto's head snapped back, "AHHHH!" and he hit the ground. Hinata didn't know if he was dead or alive. "NARU- GAH" She was snatched up by the black clothed ninja, who held her up and put a triangular kunai knife to her neck. Her eyes went wide in fear.

"It seems like I wasted too much time on the kid."

There! Entering the clearing! It was Hinata's father! She almost screamed again, she and Naruto were going to be safe!

"Let my daughter go." Hiashi was truly angry. No, he was furious. He was angry when the elders told him he was being too kind to his family. He was angry when the cloud's diplomat forced his to take away the attention from his two daughters and wife. Now? Now he was livid, and he was going to have this ninja's head on a platter, one way or not.

"If you take a step closer, Hyuuga-Hiashi, I will cut your daughter's neck open, and neither of us want that."

Hiashi clenched his arm, veins bulging out of his eyes, enhancing the blood flow to his activated byakugan. "I recognize you, you are part of the of the cloud's envoy. The diplomats servant if I'm correct." Hiashi had to keep him talking, had to keep to distracted. The calvary would be here soon. Speaking of the devil...

"THE POWER OF YOUTH HAS ARRIVED!" Maito Guy, one of the leaf's strongest jounin, crashed through the trees. Guy dressed in a green tracksuit with orange legwarmers and a forest colored vest. Despite his flamboyant attitude and dress, Hiashi knew his odds of saving his daughter had just skyrocketed. After Guy, the fourth hokage walked through the trees.

"We came as fast as we could Hiashi." Minato looked towards his friend. The fourth hokage's eyes immediately jumped to his son. "Naruto! What did you do to my son, you son of a bitch!"

"He had tried to stop me." Akio said. "You should be proud, your son has a lot of constitution. Sadly it wasn't enough." Inwardly Akio was freaking out. The fourth-fucking hokage was here! He could not deal with that! Akio was taken aback. So that's why the Raikage had sent him! He wasn't sent here because he was trusted, he was sent here because he was loyal. This was a suicide mission, and the Raikage knew Akio was willing to die for his village.

"Fine. I guess it can't be helped." Akio took his kunai off of Hinata's neck, who had gone paralyzed from shock and fear. Minato, Guy, and Hiashi may have been some of the finest ninja konoha had ever produced, but no amount of strength and speed could have prepared them for what happened next.

"Glory to Kumo." In one fell swoop Akio brought the knife across his neck, cutting through him like butter. Before anyone could react, his body, still carrying the girl, fell over the river bank into the rushing water below.

"HINATA!"
