A/N: Thanks lavender eyed girl who pretty much kept me on my feet to create this chapter and Dragon Man 180 and all the people who took the time out to read my story. Now here is where things get going. This is my first real fic in awhile for this site so I was a bit rusty. But now I feel I'm back on track. Here we go. Read, review but most of all enjoy.

Note: Since I forgot in the first chapter, I don't own Naruto though I wish I did. Oh and because I hate writing flashback, rewind means flashback and fast forward means end of flashback. Because the word "flashback" is just plain boring!


II: Unauthorized Decision

Hinata awoke drenched in sweat to dark surroundings. Breathing heavily she tried to get up but her body wouldn't move. She wasn't being held down by anything, nor was she trapped in anyway. She just couldn't bring the energy to push herself up.

The last thing she remembered…a flash of light then an instant black out. Her body felt like it was splitting in two.

'Naruto!' she thought to herself. But he was nowhere to be found.

Both she and Naruto had easily been defeated. They were strong but their enemy had some sort of advantage. Then she remembered. The Byakugan eye. It reminded her of the stories she had heard about Kakashi-sensei possessing one Sharingan eye.

'Could this be the same thing?' she thought.

"Ah so you're awake…Hinata."

"Who's there" she managed to spit out although even talking was hard for her.

"Well I guess I could introduce myself. You'll be here for awhile anyway. My name is Hisa. And my purpose is to train you."

N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N

"DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH ME!" Neji screamed.

"NEJI! Watch your tone around the Hokage" Hiashi Hyuga replied.

Tsunade-sama looked on from behind her desk with an expressionless face.

"Neji I understand your feelings, but even though Naruto fought as well the target clearly seemed to be Hinata. Because of past inferences where the Byakugan ability has been sought out by enemies we can infer that the enemy was after that." Tsunade explained.

"So you're just going to let them kill Hinata then?" Neji asked.

"Well there is another possibility that they may have kidnapped Hinata to get to you specifically Neji" Shizune cut in.

"In which case sending you out could be a bad trap" Tsunade added.

Neji glared at the both of them with such intense fury that Shizune diverted her eyes just so they wouldn't meet his. Tsunade took her focus off of him and on to the other four people standing in the room.

"Kurenai isn't able to be here right now but that doesn't matter anyway. You four are all Chunin and two of you already have good experience for a mission like this" she stated.

Shikamaru Nara looked up at Tsunade. "You're referring to the Sasuke mission, am I right?"

"Correct. Both you and Kiba dealt with major extremes back when you were Genin. Your experience should play well into this mission, not to mention Kiba being a teammate of Hinata."

Kiba Inuzuka stood silently. 'Why wasn't I there to protect you…Hinata?' His memories of her training with him for the past two years began to fill up inside. 'I will find you!'

"As for you two" Tsunade resumed. "Shino you are also a teammate of Hinata's, but more importantly you have tracking skills and since I'm not able to send more then one team out for this mission double the tracking power is better."

Shino nodded his head from under his hood.

This mission may get dangerous so in light of that I'm equipping you with Sakura. Her medical techniques should restore you if you are in a pinch.

"I'll do my best Hokage-sama" said Sakura coming out sadness from just hearing Sasuke's name.

"Now like I said this mission may get dangerous so I'm sending a Jonin with to accompany you during this assignment" Tsunade said.

In an instant a white cloud of smoke appeared behind Tsunade's desk. Everyone was taken by surprise except Tsunade herself. Shikamaru smiled.

"Kakashi-sensei huh!?" he said with a grin.

"Well this should be interesting" Kiba added.

Eager to get this moving Tsunade cut in once more. "Your mission is classified S-Rank. We have no idea who we are dealing with here. All of you are to find and rescue Hinata Hyuga. If possible try to acquire information about the enemy as well. You are to immediately pack your supplies and head out."

With that the Chunin all walked out of the room leaving Tsunade, Shizune, Kakashi, Hiashi and Neji there. Angry with Tsunade's decision Neji stood there for a bit then immediately left.

"My apologies Hokage-sama, but Neji is a Jonin why not send him?" Hiashi asked.

"Hiashi we have no idea why they took your daughter besides the Byakugan ability so the only thing we can truly do to be safe is not send him" Tsunade stated. "I have made this point clear for the last time."

"Understood, please contact me with any updates" he noted before disappearing into thin air.

"Is it just me or does it seem like the cousin cares more than the father?" Kakashi asked.

"You're right. Neji does care more. He's has grown to like and accept Hinata as his own family maybe even more then his uncle. Not to mention that Hinata has been treated unfairly by her father numerous times" Tsunade said stretching her arms.

"That meeting took quite a while" Shizune added. "Time to get back to work, shall we."

Tsunade gave Shizune an evil look. 'You just want to work me to death don't you?' she thought to herself.

She began to think of excuses. "Ah Shizune I need all the health inspection grades from all of the restaurants around town."

"Why?" Shizune asked scornfully.

"Uh…to make sure the village eating conditions are…perfect because uh…we are expected to gain a lot of people bearing missions here" Tsunade asked with a smile.

"Ok-wait a minute, we already did healt-TSUNADE-SAMA WHY ARE YOU SO LAZY!" Shizune yelled.

They began to argue with one another as Kakashi made his way to the window. Before actually jumping out he noted one last thing.

"Tsunade-sama"

Generally Kakashi just called her Hokage-sama. But over time she came to learn that when he was being serious he said her name instead of the full title.

"The team you have is not particularly well suited for combat, and even though Sakura can get them out of a pinch you've denied her Naruto which both she and Kiba outside his own team work with best" said Kakashi in a very serious tone.

"You've also denied Neji the mission and he has clearly become the strongest out of this generation as of now" Shizune said.

That was very true of the sort. Neji had become arguably the strongest ninja out of the Konoha 11 not counting Sasuke and how strong he may have been. His tracking skill put him on par with Kiba and Shino together and his thinking skills were starting to resemble that of Shikamaru. And he could probably take Sakura down with his new techniques. Still Tsunade couldn't let him go partly out of fear, partly because she didn't know what to do.

"I made this choice and for now I'm sticking with it."

She glanced down at her desk. 'I just hope those four are ready for anything?'

N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N

"I don't need training" Hinata stated.

"Yes you do, or you would've have been able to reach the full potential of the Byakugan" said Hisa.

As she moved closer to her Hinata noticed her features. She stood about as tall as Neji with black hair. Purple streaks ran through it and it went down to the middle of her back. Her face was a little pale in complexion and her body was that of a very mature girl. But the most chilling feature was that one eye was green and the other was lavender.

"You have the same thing as-"

"The boy you fought last night, yea I know" Hisa cut in.

"Why though?" Hinata asked.

"In due time, but first we need to know what will set you off."

"What will set me off?"

Hisa gave a slight grin. "You've never been truly angry in your life have you?"

Hinata didn't answer.

"Well let's find out then."

Suddenly Hinata felt someone forcefully grab the back of her head. She winched then screamed as an explosive pain began to erupt through her nervous system. Memories started to arise around her. Little Hinata, the academy, her friends, little Naruto, growing up, her father, becoming a Genin, Shino, Kiba, all her friends, Chunin exam, Kurenai-sensei, teamwork, Neji, Uzumaki Naruto!

Then only darkness remained. Hinata lay sprawled out on the ground breathing heavily once again.

"Oh doesn't she look sexy" said a voice from behind her.

"Touch her once Dai and I will kill you!" Hisa said.

Dai glared at her. "Fine, don't have to be a bit-" Instantly he fell to his knees clutching his stomach.

Hisa stood in front of him. "I don't like being called a bitch either."

She looked over at Hinata. "Interesting, so she isn't just friends with the demon fox, she loves him as well."

"What are you talking about? He's probably just been there for her or something. That's no reason to love a person" Dai said trying to get up.

"You are such an idiot. You see this is why you'll never understand a woman. Well at least all guys aren't like you" Hisa stated. "Anyway now that we know what's she holds dear to hear lets put the plan in action."

N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N

Naruto sat up in the hospital bed.

"Geez I wasn't hurt this bad" he said out loud.

"Yeah but Tsunade-sama wanted to make sure being so you were hit with an unknown technique."

Naruto looked up. Tenten was standing in front of him with a smile. Naruto began to blush.

"NARUTO-SAN, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?"

"Lee I told you this already his condition dealt with the eyes not his ears so stop yelling" Tenten announced.

"Oh sorry Naruto" said Lee with a grin oh bright white teeth.

'Any potential with Tenten was just lost right there' Naruto thought to himself. Without warning his backpack landed in his lap. Naruto looked out the window to see Neji crouching on the sill fully equipped for a mission. His clothes flapped in the wind and the tone on his face was that of anger.

"Ready to go?" he asked.

"Go where?" Naruto asked back.

"Both you and I have seen the enemy and what they can do not to mention you fought them once. I am a Jonin, they are both Chunin and even though you're still a Genin I know of your power first hand and can easily say that you're on par with me" Neji said in an expressionless tone.

Even Naruto was surprised. Neji actually admitting that Naruto was on the same level as him wasn't something that was normally heard. But he couldn't be suggesting going after Hinata. Not after-

Rewind

"Naruto because we have no idea what's going on and what you were hit with you will not go on this mission" said Tsunade.

"What! It's my fault that Hinata was taken. I have to go!" Naruto replied.

"It is not your fault because you didn't know what was going to happen" Tsunade stated coolly.

"It was my fault I couldn't protect her!" Naruto snapped.

"NARUTO!!!" Tsunade snapped back. "Until we get more information you are to say in the village. Do NOT disobey."

Naruto clenched his fists.

Tsunade walked out.

>>Fast Forward >

"Hinata is my cousin, and I will not stand around waiting. This person had a Byakugan ability and I got there too late to help. I won't let that happen this time" said Neji.

"And were going to help Neji cause there's no way we'd let him go alone on this one" Tenten said.

"So either you're in or you're out, make your choice now" Neji said this time in a fiercer tone.

"You already know me Neji-san" Naruto said as he stood up. "I'm always in."

To be continued…

A/N: Another pretty good sized chapter for you. I could use some more support. I really want to know what people think of this story. I have ideas of where to go but things change sometimes you know. Some more questions will be answered in the third chapter plus some action will make its way back after being absent from this chapter. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter even thought it was all talk. Next chapter should again be up in about a day or two. Thanks everybody.
