I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters. I remembered something I didn't put in the last story but really wanted. So I'm working it into this story.
Interrupted Training
Naruto watched as the Forbidden walked calmly toward them, feet creating massive foot prints as it walked. The Uzumaki and Jinchuriki, as well as Sasuke, stood behind him, all radiating fear as Naruto suppressed his own, tapping into Kurama's chakra. He created several clones, all of them extending Chakra Chains and restraining the Forbidden as they made Chakra Arms to help them form their Tailed Beast Rasengans. The Forbidden roared, breaking the chains, which the other Uzumaki all replaced. Naruto's clones sprinted forward and leapt into the air, thrusting their jutsus at the Forbidden. The explosion shook the landscape and the Forbidden roared in pain. As the smoke cleared, revealing all of the clones to have been destroyed, and the Forbidden unscathed.
"None were right?" Naruto guessed.
"Right," Sasuke nodded. "But still, there were so many. You'd think you at least damaged him."
"He healed," Nagato stated. "In the time it took for the smoke to clear, he regenerated whatever damage you did."
Naruto created a dozen more clones who repeated the last strategy, this time with Naruto blowing the smoke away instantly with his Double-Edged Swords. Again there was no perfect jutsu but this time they saw that the explosion burned the Forbidden, but didn't break the skin. The burn healed and Naruto sighed. Then, the Forbidden turned and slashed its arm, a rift opening and the Forbidden stepped back through. Naruto blinked in surprise, looking to the others who all shrugged.
"Maybe he was just testing you," Fu guessed. "Seeing if the jutsu that got his attention was a threat. He probably would have retreated through a rift even if you had fatally wounded him."
"She's right," Yugito stated. "He didn't even kill the Shinigami. He wasn't planning on hanging around."
"You're probably right," Naruto stated. "Since I'm no threat, he'll be a bit more inactive now. Let's get back so I can finish my jutsu."
Everyone agreed and headed back to the Hidden Leaf, where the Uzumaki all scattered and the Jinchuriki went to talk to the Hokage. Sasuke left to train with Itachi and Shisui, leaving Naruto and Hinata to continue his training alone. Hinata sat off to one side while Naruto formed dozens of clones to spar with, deciding to use what chakra he had left to practice what he could already do, rather than what he couldn't. After several extremely loud and violent minutes, Naruto finished fighting, having destroyed the last of his clones and sensed someone appear behind him.
"Hello Naruto Uzumaki," a male voice spoke.
He stood, turning toward them in time for a kunai to drive itself in his abdomen. He stared down at it for a moment before setting a hand on the man's shoulder to make it look like he was happy to see him, looking into the pale lavender eyes and seeing only hatred. He was glad Hinata was directly behind him, she couldn't see what had happened, though, she'd soon figure it out.
"Who are you?" Naruto growled.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised you don't know me," the man smirked. "My name is Rai Hyuga, head of a Branch Family of the Hyuga Clan. By now I should be the Head of the entire Hyuga Clan, but you ruined that."
"How would you be head of the clan?" Naruto growled.
"Funny you should ask," Rai grinned wickedly. "You see, I was all set to take complete control of the Main Branch. Hiashi and I had come to an agreement that suited us both, since I was nearly as wealthy as he himself was, and it was completely set in stone. Except, you just couldn't leave well enough alone."
"What did I do?" Naruto scoffed.
"You stole my right to power, the thing that I was promised, that I deserved," Rai snarled. "You stole my fianceé."
"You're the guy that Hiashi tried to make Hinata marry?" Naruto blinked. "In that case, I'm very happy that I was able to save her."
"Yes yes, you are quite the hero you little shit," Rai spat.
"Now hold on," Naruto growled. "Don't you get testy with me. I'm ecstatic it worked out the way it did but if you deserved her, why didn't you mary her in the two years I was gone?"
"You have that insufferable bitch Tsunade, Kakashi, Shizune, and even that brat Neji to thank for that," Rai spat. "Hiashi and I may have agreed to the marriage but Tsunade wrote a law that all marriages, no matter what, must be presided over by the ruling Hokage. Any time I tried to ask her to marry me and Hinata, she agreed then Kakashi demanded that she use that day to help him with something, or Shizune gave her paperwork, or Neji asked for help with some training. Your friends were very useful to you while you were away. I am the one that should be marrying Hinata Hyuga, not you."
"Well, that's a shame," Naruto growled. "But you missed your chance. Hinata is my fianceé now. You will have to go cry in a corner. You can't have her."
"Don't worry," Rai smirked. "I'm not here to talk you out of marrying Hinata. I came to take back what's mine."
"You're going to kill me?" Naruto scoffed. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"
"Kill you?" Rai scoffed before laughing for a moment. "Heavens no. Nothing so gruesome. You see, you're not the only one good with contact contagion seals. You know, the type you put on a kunai that then spreads to anything the kunai cuts?"
Naruto's eyes widened as Naruto stared down at the kunai just as his entire torso began to glow blood red.
"This seal, is a bit unique," Rai smirked. "Ancient. Long forgotten. You see, this one makes it so that whoever is hit with it never existed. You will have exactly one day to see how you have changed the world. And then, you will cease to exist altogether."
Naruto reached up to tear Rai's head off but suddenly Rai was gone. The kunai was gone. The plants were gone, leaving a barren wasteland. Naruto pulled his jacket up to see the seal shrink down to the wound then vanish, taking the wound with it. Naruto turned around, crossing his fingers but Hinata was gone. He could, however see the Hidden Leaf Village. It looked like shit. Everything was made out of steel now and was dented, scorched, and broken in some places. Naruto saw a firework shoot into the sky and sighed. He really needed to find Rai and make him reverse the seal.
