Naruto awoke a few hours later to the sight of Daishi lying face down on the mountain. He must have passed out too. He thought. Naruto walked over to Daishi.

When he arrived he saw that Daishi wasn't breathing. "Daishi!" he yelled. He shook Daishi's body violently but nothing. "Daishi! Wake up! Daishi!!!" He slapped Daishi across the face. Daishi still did not regain consciousness. He was dead. Naruto picked up the body and walked down the mountain.

As he walked through Konoha to the Hyuga home he gathered the attention of many curious people. A few screamed, some stared angrily at him, a somber look here and there. Two. Naruto thought. Two Hyuga that I've let die right in front of me. He drifted out of his surroundings and focused only on his own thoughts.

How could I have let this happen again? Hinata-chan gave her life for me. Daishi tried to…take my life from me…but that wasn't his fault! I'll never become Hokage if I keep this up. Naruto Uzumaki. You're a failure… "OOMPH!" he groaned. He had been so absorbed in his thoughts that he had stopped looking where he was going. He had bumped straight into a 15 year old man in a forest green trench coat and sunglasses.

"Watch where you're going," Shino said, "for that is the rule."

"I'm sick of your rules!" Naruto said as he walked past Shino, still carrying Daishi, and began to walk away.

"No yelling, for that is the…" Naruto, tired of hearing about all Shino's rules, had kicked him right in the stomach before leaving.

When Naruto arrived at the Hyuga household he received tenfold what he had on the city streets. Mostly just the angry looks though, and the occasional comment about the wrath of a Jinchuuriki. He didn't care about them though. He just wanted to find Hiashi so he could give him Daishi's body and be done with it. He wandered the endless maze of corridors in the Hyuga home until he finally found him in the library.

"Hiashi-sama." He said politely as he could, "Daishi and I had some kind of…I can't really explain it but…"

"Silence Uzumaki Naruto. I already know." Hiashi set down the scroll he was reading and stood up. "At Hinata-niichan's funeral did you feel anything odd when you made eye contact with Daishi?"

Naruto thought for a moment, "No…I don't think so. Just a little drained of chakra, that's all, but that was from the mission."

"No it wasn't Naruto-kun. When Daishi made contact with you his Karafuru Byakugan, though inactive as it was, weakened the cage holding the Kyuubi inside of you. The Kyuubi, seeing this, took the opportunity and left your body for Daishi's in hopes that he would remove the seal containing it permanently."

Naruto thought back then remembered what happened to Gaara. "But when a Bijuu is extracted from a Jinchuuriki shouldn't that Jinchuuriki die?"

"Normally so, I don't understand everything, but I believe that something about the Karafuru Byakugan gives Bijuu the option of leaving their Jinchuuriki to find another without the Jinchuuriki dying. It's very complex and it weakens the Jinchuuriki considerably, but you would not die. I also believe the fact that the Kyuubi wasn't extracted and merely left might have had some effect on your not dying."

"I see. So…the Kyuubi can leave whenever it wants now?"

"No, that's not true Naruto-kun. Unless you come across another Hyuga with a Karafuru Byakugan the Kyuubi cannot leave."

"Ok," Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, but I do have one more question. How did you know I was a Jinchuuriki?"

"Well, I could be cool and say that I'm a Hyuga so I know things, but I think I'll just tell the truth and say I was there when the Kyuubi was sealed. Which isn't as cool, but is more fulfilling."

Naruto gave Hiashi a confused look, took a few slow steps back, thanked him for some odd reason, then left confused.

Daishi was buried the next day right next to Hinata. Naruto had attended the funeral as well as Daishi's Genin team, sensei, and all the Hyuga. They said a few kind words and gave Naruto a few angry stares and the funeral was over. Everyone returned home except Naruto. He remained behind for a few minutes at the burial site. Fire in his heart he faced the sky. "Hinata-chan, Daishi-kun, for you I WILL BECOME HOKAGE!"

Ok, it's done. Please tell me what I can improve on!

Yes, I did say I was going to upload a story about what happened to Hinata on the mission for those of you who were curious and I WILL! It will be here tomorrow by the latest!
