The dangers of a whirlpool, are not nearly as bad as the actual storm that will follow.
With Kira, she was inside fuming. They had done a lot for Naruto, and he had the gall to say that they were like everyone else?! She was going to give him the silent treatment for awhile, but at the moment she had something more important to do. Right in front of her was Hinata, and it was later in the day so it was already close to the time that Naruto stole the scroll.
"Hinata!" Kira yelled as she ran up to her and started to breath a bit, as she had been running throughout the whole village looking for he girl "Hinata... Thank kami I found you before you got home..."
"Kira-san? Why did you look for me?" Hinata asked in a soft tone, that despite her work on stopping her stutter, showed she was still shy.
"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go somewhere with me. You know, to celebrate graduating and everything." Kira said with a small smile.
"Um... Sure, but how will I inform my parents?" Hinata asked with a slight tilt of her head.
"I um... Sent a clone to your mother earlier asking for permission. It was a shadow clone, so I got back my clones memories as well, she said it was fine, so long as I kept you safe." Kira stated while running the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Ok. Sure." Hinata said with a soft smile "Though what are shadow clones exactly?"
Kira, who actually got excited at the concept of telling someone somthing, said "Shadow clones are a solid clone, instead of a illusion, that not only thinks for itself, but gives you memory feedback as well. If you had the chakra reserves we Uzumaki have, you would be able train with them even. Though if you raise your chakra levels high enough you could also use them."
"Why would it take your level of reserves to use them?" Hinata asked, while they were walking.
"The jutsu is labeled a Kinjutsu, because it splits your chakra evenly between clones. Any chakra left over from the clone, however, is sent back to you upon release, so that's why I could create hundreds, while you could only create, one at the moment." Kira stated in a lecturer's tone.
The two girls continued to talk between each other, at this point, but their conversation stopped, as a blur of orange with something on its back, ran by them. Not to long after, Another blur ran past them in the same direction. With a fake confused look Kira asked "Was that...?"
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata finished in the loudest tone Kira had ever heard the girl use.
"Something's wrong... Why would Naruto be carrying something the size of an archive scroll?" Kira asked with a confused tone.
Not caring either way both of the girls decided to follow Naruto as he went into a clearing. When Hinata tried to go out and ask him what he was doing, Kira stopped her and said "This isn't like Naruto, stealing something. He didn't pass the test today. Either Iruka, or Mizuki set him up to do this. Think of this as a mission need to find out who did it before anything."
"O-ok, Kira-san. I don't like it, but ok." Hinata stated with a small frown.
After Naruto read, and learned the kage bushin Iruka eventually showed up and he asked what he was doing.
"Heh, hey Iruka-sensei! I just finished the secret test! Does this mean I pass?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"What are you- look out!" Iruka yelled, before he pushed Naruto out of the way.
Before whatever it was could hit Iruka, however Kira chose this time to appear, as she cut the giant shuriken in half, just as Mizuki appeared. Kira didn't even flinch as he Pulled out another and said "What's this? A brat protecting a demon?"
Kira ignored him, as she pointed her sword at him, and turned her head enough that she could see Iruka, Naruto, and Hinata behind her. With a frown towards Mizuki she said "Iruka-sensei. Hinata. Take care of Naruto. I can deal with Mizuki. I'm not a clan head for nothing you know."
Instead of listening to her, they went into the bushes so that they could watch her. She knew that they were watching her as well, but she didn't say anything as her attention was turned back towards Mizuki.
"So your the little clan head I've been hearing about. You don't seem to tough, and your not even a genin." Mizuki stated.
"Then let me prove you wrong!" Kira yelled as she called on some of isobu's chakra, though not enough to form a chakra clock.
The foulness of the chakra seemed to affect Mizuki enough however as he yelled "Your just like the demon brat!"
"Yes. I am." Kira stated "So what if I have a demon inside of me? Whether it be three or nine it doesn't matter. You will not harm Naruto."
In a flash Kira had charged straight at Mizuki, and it was only due to the difference in experience that had managed to dodge the sword that was headed straight for him, though he was still nicked in the side of the head, causing his leaf headband to be cut off his head. In response to the attack, however, Mizuki managed a solid kick to Kira's head, causing Kira to be sent flying back slightly. She recovered fairly quickly though when she flipped in mid air and bounced off a tree, going faster then before towards Mizuki. He managed to dodge the attack once again, but he couldn't dodge the kick that she sent to his stomach afterwards, which in turn caused him to be sent through a couple of trees.
'Isobu you know if that was real or not?' Kira asked the demon turtle in her head.
'That was real alright. If this guy thinks tailed beasts are just mindless animals, I will enjoy watching him get beaten by you Ki-san.' Isobu responded.
The short conversation was broken quickly however when Kira felt someone hit into her back, and she quickly used the replacement technique to get away. When she saw the hundreds of shuriken that were Imbedded into the log, she was glad she dodged it. That many would surly kill her. Those particular thoughts ran through her head, but she moved quickly as she felt Mizuki almost hit her again.
"COME OUT SO I CAN KILL YOU, YOU DEMON BRAT!" Mizuki yelled as he randomly threw Kunai and other Shinobi tools into the bushes.
Mizuki continuously threw the shinobi tools throughout the forest, that is until a blur of red, followed by a female voice yelling "Dynamic entry!" flew into Mizuki, and in turn sent him flying straight into a tree. Standing in his place, was a cut up, and bruised Kira, as she had to do man things to dodge all of the flying weapons that were sent towards her. Mizuki, who had just gotten up, noticed this and he grinned wickedly as he took a couple of steps, only for Naruto to jump in front of her, as she fell to the ground, showing that a few Kunia, did hit her in her arms and legs.
"Aw, isn't that cute. One demon protecting another. Naruto do you want to know why the villagers hate you?" Mizuki asked, as he ignored Iruka, who had also been hit by the random throws of weaponry "It's because you are the Kyubi no kitsune!"
"I don't care!" Naruto yelled, as he took the information in stride due to Kira's little show before, about howit didn't matter "I won't let you harm my friends and family anymore!"
Mizuki sneered once more as he asked "Oh? And how are you going to protect them you demon?"
"You harm them, and I'll pay you back a thousand fold." Naruto stated as he went through some hand signs and finished with the rat symbol "KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!"
With a lot of smoke appearing, literally a thousand Naruto's appeared around Mizuki in the forest. It was enough to cause Hinata to faint, but it was also enough to cause Mizuki to panic, as the thousand Naruto's ran at Mizuki and beat the living shit out of him. Once all of the clones were dispersed, Naruto ran up to Hinata to see if she was injured, and it in return woke her up. When she saw Naruto so close to her, she almost fainted again, but it was thanks to Kira's self confidence boost that she managed to not faint.
"Hinata? Are you ok?" Naruto asked with a slightly worried, slightly sad tone.
"Y-yes. W-why a-are y-you s-s-so sad?" She asked as well.
"You know... Your going to treat me like everyone else aren't you?" Naruto asked in a tone that showed he was convinced she was.
"N-no! O-of course not! T-t-to b-be h-honest. I-k-knew about I-it already... I-I-I g-got curious with m-m-my Byakugan o-once and s-saw the t-two ch-chakra's..." Hinata admitted with a downcast look.
"Y-you knew and you don't care?" Naruto asked and Hinata nodded.
The two just sat there for a few minutes, neither saying anything, until a voice yelled "Just kiss already!"
That got them both to move. Hinata moved away quickly with a red face, and Naruto moved a away just as face, with a slight blush to his face, but he was glaring as well, at Kira. He growled slightly as he yelled "Don't say stuff like that Kira!"
Kira simply stuck her tongue out and gave a peace sign, while also saying "What can I say? I'm trying to help out a friend."
That caught Naruto's attention as he asked "What do you mean helping who out?"
Kira just gave the last pose again while saying "Sorry, not for me to say."
The group of three eventually went their separate ways, while also having Kira bring Hinata home. In honesty Kira did not want to be going to the Hyuga compound, as she was telling the truth about sending a shadow clone to Hinata's mother, but she did not want to deal with both of the Hyuga heiresses parents, and the Juken strikes that were sure to come from this. Hyuga's were not know for their leniency when it comes to things outside of their clan compound, so she was expecting to have the Hyuga clan head stare at her with a large glare. To her utter displeasure, she was not disappointed as the second she walked into the head house with Hinata, she had several sets of eyes glaring at her, but surprisingly none belonged to Hiashi Hyuga or his wife. Instead they belonged to the clan elders. Hinata went into her room at this point, so that she could be well rested, while Kira talked with the Hyuga elders, and head.
"Uzumaki-san. Your late. Am I to assume something happened?" Hiashi asked while keeping his stoic posture.
"Yes Hyuga-sama. I am sorry that I am late bringing her home, but I wanted to help Hinata with something as well. You see I am helping her with her training when I can." Kira stated with a bow.
"What could an outsider do for this failure?" One of the elders stated in a none to pleased tone, but Hiashi quieted him quickly enough.
"I would like to know how you could help Hinata with her training as well." Hiashi stated.
"You see, by accident, one day I discovered that your Juken style was, to be put into laymen terms, unnatural for your daughter. After discovering this I asked her to use some chakra paper to see what her natural affinity was. To say what I found was unsurprising, is an understatement." Kira stated with respectful tone as she sat in front of the Hyuga's in a traditional seating position.
"Do tell what you found Uzumaki-san." Hiashi stated with his normal stoic tone.
"Your daughter has an affinity for the wind element Hyuga-sama. I am to understand that the Juken is based more for an earth elemental. This is why your daughter has such a hard time during your training." Kira stated in a respectful tone.
"A Hyuga with a wind element is preposterous! If this is true, then she is no Hyuga." One of the elders said completely ignoring Hiashi's glare.
"If that be the case then, the Uzumaki would gladly make room in our halls for Hinata. If that is the case, that you would so blatantly banish an heiress just because of a petty thing as element affinity, then as current clan head of the Uzumaki, I would take Hinata into our halls with, or without, the permission of the Hyuga household." Kira stated with an equally intense stare.
Hiashi, instead of glaring at Kira, sent her a barely noticeable thank you look, before it turned back into the stoic face as he said "I believe that is enough. Now, if you could explain how it is your help falls into place with this."
"Of course Hyuga-sama." Kira stated with a small nod of her head "Now, as most Uzumaki have an affinity for either wind or water, we have the Uzukai, which goes well with our firing style, and it can easily adapt for the other elements as well. That said, what Hinata did, was she took some of the kata's from the Uzukai, and started to create her own style of the Juken. As for as I knew, she didn't want to take full credit of the style, so she named it the Uzuken in honor of our Uzukai being the base for it."
"Spiraling fist..." Hiashi said in a wondering tone "Am I to assume, that the new style she is creating is more suited for quick strikes as well as other aspects that suit the wind element?"
Kira nodded as she continued "Yes. The spiral moments are incorporated into your Juken style, from what I can see, as well as not relying on the stance for the strikes as much. From what I can see of what she had made, it is better for her in every sense then the Juken."
Hiashi gave a nod, before he asked "May I perhaps request you to perform a mock battle against my daughter tomorrow to show how much she has improved with this Uzuken?"
"I would be more then happy to Hyuga-sama. Just know this, I will not force Hinata to teach anyone else anything she creates. As the creator, she has every right to teach only those she thinks deserve it." Kira stated with a pointed look towards the Hyuga elders, that didn't go unnoticed by Hiashi, who gave an amused smirk on the inside.
"That is understandable. Only the master can choose their students." Hiashi stated before he stood up "that will be all for tonight Uzumaki-san. We will continue this conversation at a later date. For now I believe you should get some rest. Graduation is tomorrow after all."
Kira nodded at that, as well as standing up and exiting the building, completely ignoring the glares from the Hyuga elders behind her. Before she could leave the compound, however, another person intercepted her. She didn't recognize him right away, or at all for that matter, as she had heard a description of very few Hyuga, and as far as she knew, he wasn't one.
"Do you need something from me?" Kira asked in a polite tone, even if she was unhappy about still being awake at this time of night.
"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose with Hinata?" The Hyuga boy asked with a hard gaze.
"My 'purpose' as you put it, is to help her. I am the last of the head family in my generation, yes, but that does not mean that someone else isn't alive you know. I just want to help her as a friend, not as a clan head, to an heir, or whatever the case." Kira stated with a dignified posture.
The Hyuga didn't answer at first, but when he did he said "Stay away from Hinata. No good ever comes from outsiders interfering with our clan."
Kira raised an eyebrow at that, but she just gave a soft smile towards the boy and she said "I hope to meet you again Hyuga-san. Who knows, maybe we will."
The boy seemed confused at first, but it disappeared as Kira walked away from him, and out of the clan compound. She didn't knew then, but what she had said, had sparked interest in the Hyuga boy. It was not a certain kind of interest, but it was an interest none the less as he stared at her until she disappeared from his view.
Kira on the other hand, knew that he was staring at her, but she didn't know why. It could have been a multitude of reasons, but she didn't really bother trying to confront him about it, as it would just waist her time, in the sense that she really needed to sleep soon, or she wasn't going to get any sleep for tomorrow. At the thought of sleep, however, it became apparent of her particularly disheveled appearance, with her clothes ripped up and full of dirt, as well as her hair and skin being matted with dirt. With an annoyed sigh, she decided to take a shower before she went to sleep, and it seemed that the turtle in her head had something to say as well.
When she finished with her shower, and she laid down on her bed, instead of going to sleep she went into her mind scape and went up to the turtle again. This time he was in his tailed beast form in the water around the island. When she arrived, he appeared in the water, and Kira, who had an extremely annoyed look, asked "What is it you needed you giant pain in my ass."
Isobu, who had gotten used to Kira when she is tired, said "The mist your friend was talking about. Does that mean Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the hidden mist?"
Kira rubbed one of her eyes as she responded with "That's all you needed? Yes. It means Zabuza will be on the mission my mother told me team seven will go on to the wave."
"What if you are not one team seven?" Isobu asked.
"I was going to ask the Hokage if we could have a joint mission between my team and team seven, so that we can get practice for the future of being teamed up with another team." Kira said in a rather pissed tone now.
"I guess that's it." Isobu said while also trying his best not to anger the Uzumaki girl anymore.
"Good. Night. You. Giant. Ass!" Kira yelled, before she disappeared so that she could actually sleep.
