Sorry for the delay in getting this chapter done.
"We'll take it from here"said the doctor. "No, I want Naruto to come in with me, please"said Hinata. "You need to rest. You can talk to him later"said the doctor. "No! There's something I need to tell him"said Hinata. "I'll come back, you can tell me then. Get some rest"said Naruto. Hinata conceded and let the doctor help her to her room.
Kakashi explained the situation to Gai with Jirayah nearby, all three unaware they were being watched. "Hinata's an Akatsuki defective. I have a good feeling on what, or should I say who, turned her around"thought Neiji thinking of Naruto. "The important thing now is to find Sasuke. If he fights Itachi, even if itachi spares him, Sasuke during the course of the fight may resort to using the cursed mark"said Kakashi. "Curse mark?"asked Jirayah. "Oh we never told you, Sasuke was given an cursed seal by Orochimaru, Oro wants him as his new vessel"said Kakashi. "I see"said Jirayah. "Did she say where Itachi was?"asked Gai. "No, she dosen't know, I would assume somewhere just outside the village. If the three of us face him, we should be able to win"said Jirayah. "So let's go"said Gai. All three dissapeared. "Akatsuki? Kyuubi? What in the hell is going on?"thought Neiji.
Sasuke continued through the forest, forcing himself to remember the sleign and fallen bodies of his fellow Uchihas. "Today you die Itachi, I'll send you to hell on a stretcher!"thought Sasuke.
The doctor entere Hinata's room. However when he entered, he found she was gone. "So of a bitch"he muttered.
Hinat ran as fast as she could, holding her arm. "I can't let Sasuke kill himself, I have to do something!"she thought.
Itachi stood facing the left, as though waiting. The wind blew just slightly for a moment but then stopped. Sasuke slid out, stopping himself behind Itachi. "It's been a long time"said Itachi. "I've been waiting my whole life for this"said Sasuke. Itachi turned to face him.
Sasuke allready had his shariguan on. "So you've developed your Shariguan, not bad"said Itachi. "However if you truly hated me, you would have transcended past that, you would've have your Magekyou Shariguan. If you aren't willing to kill others just to gain power, just to beat me, you will fail"said Itachi.
Hinata's wound slashed on a branch but she would not let herself stop. "I won't let you die, not because of me! Not because of me!"thought Hinata desperately.
"So how did you know to come looking for me?"asked Itachi. "None of your buisness"said Sasuke. "Hinata told you, right?"asked Itachi. Sasuke grimmaced. "It seems I've found a new task, this will have to wait"said Itachi beggining to walk away but Sasuke rushed out in front of him. "NO! You will not walk away from me!"yelled Sasuke.
Hinata could just fainly see the exit of the forest far ahead, and could faintly see two figures there. "I have to hurry before it's too late!"she thought.
The two brothers locked eyes. "If you wish"said Itachi. Sasuke leaped back, allready forming hand signs, while if Itachi was forming handsings, it couldn't be seen.
"Fireball jutsu!"yelled Sasuke, blowing a large ball of fire from his mouth. "Black Flame jutsu!"said itachi. Itachi unleashed a wave of black flames, which smothered out Sasuke's flames and knocked him back.
"Damn it, that's the most powerful of the fire techniques. I should've known"thought Sasuke, looking to his brother, looking back at Sasuke with that emotionless stare. "You're still weak"he said. Sasuke growled.
Hinata tripped, falling flat on her face. She held back a squeal of pain, her arm being scratched by a nrach as she fell, as well as the impact on her arm. Using one arm, she pushed herself up and kept going.
Sasuke went for a round kick, which Itachi easily blocked, then spun around for a punch which Itachi caught and tossed him to the side like garbage. Sasuke got up. "I have no more options, there's only one technique that will work"thought Sasuke, holding his arm, blue chakra forming into it.
"Chidori? Advanced for a genin"thought Itachi. Sasuke continued forming it. "Still, it's not enough"thought Itachi. "I've done what you said, I've hated you, I've detested you, and have survived in an unsightly way!"yelled Sasuke charging forward, ready to stabn Itachi through the gut. However Itachi simply caught his wrist. "Damn it!"thought Sasuke.
With one hand, Itachi bent Sasuke's wrist down, breaking it. Sasuke screamed in pain, Itachi elbowing Sasuke away. "Why?Why are we still so different?"thought Sasuke. Itachi walked over to him, Sasuke still sitting on the ground. "I hate you!"yelled Sasuke getting up, Itachi simply kneeing him in the gut, then elbowing him down.
Hinata made it out, right behind Itachi as he put Sasuke's body up against a tree. "Your hatred's too weak"said Itachi. "Wait, I know what he's about to do, I can't let him!"thought Hinata. Itachi began activating his Magekyou Shariguan, however Hinata shoved itachi's arm away, knocking Sasuke out of the way. Sasuke looked up. "No. NO!"yelled Sasuke but it was too late, Itachi grabbed Hinata by the hair and slammed her against the tree, Hinata's eyes locking onto Itachi's and her glasses falling to the ground.
Hinata saw herself tied to a cross of some sort, with an army of Itachis with daggers. One stabbed her, then another, then another. She tried to plea for him to stop but her voice was gone. They wouldn't stop, this happened for the next 3 days.
Hinata fell face first to the ground in the real world, in which only a second had passed. "Damn it, she has nothing to do with this, this is between you and me"said Sasuke. "I have no more time to waste with you"said itachi turning and walking away.
"Over there"he heared Kakashi yell. When Sasuke looked back for Itachi, he was nowhere to be seen. Kakashi, Gai and Jirayah came down from the trees. "Rei!"gasped Jirayah checking on her. "Hey, wake up"said Jirayah but no response. "Naruto told me you were flat chested, yeah, he said you were in bed with him"said Jirayah but no response. "She's reall out of it"said Jirayah. "There is no doubt, she's in a coma. There's only one way she could've gone into a coma so quick, the Magekyou shariguan"
Kakashi walked over to Sasuke. "What in the hell were you thinking"he said. "What was I thinking? She-
"Saved you, and payed for it. You were the one reckless enough to chase after Itachi, knowing you couldn't beat him, and she's in a coma now because she tried to save you. You have no one to blame but yourself for what happened to her. Your ambition nearly got someone else killed. You didn't bother to think of the consequences. What if someone else came along and got hurt? You're just as selfish as your brother"said Kakashi. He went back over with the others.
They all dissapeared with Hinata.
"If you aren't willing to kill others to gain power, you will fail"
"Your ambition nearly got someone else killed"
He sat there confused.
Hinata lied in a sleeping bag on the floor. "She puts too much of a burden on herself"said Jirayah. "So what now?"asked Gai. "She'll be out for some time. I'll stay and watch over. Maybe when she awakes she can give us some valuable info"said Jirayah. "You're not suggesting interrogating a child"said Gai. "It won't be much of an interrogation. If she's willing to throw herself in harms way to proect Sasuke, and even naruto, I'm sure she'd be willing to give us more information on the inside of the Akatsuki"said Kakashi.
"Wait"said Neiji coming in. They all turned to him. "Neiji, what are you doing here?"asked Gai. "I've been looking for you everywhere. I listened in on your conversastion earlier"said Neiji. "Why?"asked Gai. 'THis dosen't concern you Neiji"said Kakashi. "It does, you don't know who she is"said Neiji.
"What do you mean?"asked Kakashi. Neiji walked over, opening up her eye. "Take a look"said Neiji. They looked at her eye. "Wait, that's-
Neiji cut Kakashi off. "She's not Rei, her name's Hyuuga Hinata, the missing heir to the Hyuuga clan. Her dissapearance has caused a huge uproar within the Hyuuga clan main and side branches, if I brought her back, they'd care for her like she was a Goddess"said Neiji. "Well, what do you think?"asked Gai. "His motive may be selfish but the idea itself would benefit us"said Kakashi. "I don't know, if itachi attacks there, he'll slaughter them. He allready slaughtered the Ucnhiha clan, let's not let this happen to the Hyuuga clan"said Jirayah.
"It's a possibility, however we'll be hindered if you're not helping us. It's our best option"said Kakashi. Jirayah sighed. "Fine, take her back"said Jirayah. Neiji nodded. "I'll help"said gai pulling her out of the sleeping bag.
"What about Naruto?"asked Kakashi. Jirayah looked to him. "Leave that to me"
