To think...it's only just, begun

Hinata ran as fast as she could, breaking through the groups of randomly scattered bodies and people trying to limp away from the village. The 'war' that was going on had apparently stopped due to the appearance of the larger metal looking creatures ( she doesn't know what they are, so of course she just see's them as oversized metal animals). Most of the people that had been fighting each other an hour ago were actually helping one another. Either one of them had a sister that was about to die and needed help to save, or one of them had a friend that was stuck underneath the some piece's of a building and needed help to dig him out. It just didn't seem to matter at this point.

She decided to overlook these people, not only did she need to get to Naruto as soon as possible, but they were doing well enough on taking care of each other. Looking over her shoulder slightly, she saw two leaf-nin helping a cloud-nin take care of some wounds. Turning her attention back to the front, she saw that everyone was just trying to keep themselves alive, forgetting about the fighting. Hinata, smiling to herself, increased her speed as she jumped onto the roof of a one story building and ran across it. Jumping onto the higher buildings.

After a few minutes of running on the roof tops, she jumped off it, landing on a tree and continuing her way by jumping from tree branch to tree branch. After a minute, she landed near the walls of konoha, or what was left of it anyway. Hinata just went through the big crack in the wall ( it was twice her width ) and once again jumped into the trees, continuing towards Naruto. She was going to find him, he had to be close.

Hinata was very aware of what had happened to the kages, and yes she knew that Naruto was the Iwagakage. It was Kyojin that told her this, but honestly, she didn't care either way. She was just worried that Naruto might have taken some more life threatening injuries. Landing on a higher then usual tree, Hinata stopped and scanned the horizon. The first thing she had to take note of was the large ass three that had just come into her sight. She had no clue how she could have just now seen something that big. The other thing she had to take noticed of was the large amount of craters and wreckage around the area. Shaking her head, She decided that it was bond to happen...it was probably due to the kages fighting .

Hinata, continuing her search from on top of the tree, looked for anything that might resemble a person. Any shape, any movement, whatever she could find. After a few minutes more of searching, she sighed in defeat, wondering if she was ever going to find him. Suddenly, something came to her, an idea that might work. Hinata then turn towards her new destination, one that was well known to her and Naruto.

It took her a few minutes of constant tree jumping, but she managed to make it. She was now standing before what seemed to have started it all for her. The clear, crisp sound that was coming from it, the way the water moved down it's current. Hinata resisted the urge to go towards it and put her hand through it, just to feel how cold the water was. No, she was waiting on someone and couldn't afford to get distracted.

Apparently, that wait wasn't long, since Hinata's face slowly formed into a smile. Looking over, Hinata saw two people approach her at a slow pace. One was the one she had been waiting to come, the other, however,.was someone she had never met before. The women was beautiful beyond any words she could describe, something that made Hinata hate the woman even more. The way she seemed to talk with Naruto, the way he seemed to be so open to her as the two talked while walking in her direction...it just seemed to make a fire burn inside her.

Without thinking, Hinata ran forward, straight towards Naruto, said person unaware of her until she was about eight or so steps way. Looking towards her, Naruo caught a glimpse of Hinata before he was tackled out of the other woman's grasp ( said woman was helping him stay on his own two legs) and onto the ground. Rolling a bit, they stopped with Hinata on top, giving Naruto a light hug. This of course felt nice to him, considering all the crushing hugs he had received before.

" Hinata-chan?" Naruo asked, wrapping his arms around her, Hinata enjoying the embrace.

"I've finally...found you..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Garra walked slowly forwards, sand coming off of him and lying in random clumps in his path. He walked through the piece's of buildings and torn up ground, of the streets filled with bodies and the mech's parts and attachments. His eye's focused on one person, on he thought he would never see again.

He kept his soulless expression, crushing someone with sand that tried to stop him because they needed 'help'. He didn't 'look' like he needed help, considering he was hiding several shuriken up his sleeve's. How he would know this, anything the sand touches he can see/ feel/ communicate through. The sand shinobi was caught in a little bit of the left over sand, so Garra was able to see through his need of 'help' and killed him for his insolence.

The nin from the village hidden in the sands would never learn.

Garra thought, that with enough patients, that the sand-nins would change over time and forget what he carried with him. It seems, however, that they would never let that fact go. No matter how much he tried for them, all they saw was a weapon that could be used to destroy the enemy. With the weapon growing too strong, they probably wanted him to die as soon as possible. Garra wondered what it would have been like if he never had his family or what few friends he has.

Regardless of those facts, we're getting off track at what Garra was doing now. Stopping in front of the man, Garra looked up at him. The man, which had actually haunted his dreams since he was a child, was right in front of him. Focusing as mush as he could, Garra prepared to attack the man, several feet of sand rising behind him and shooting forward. The man stood there, watching the sand shoot forwards towards him, not moving an inch. Not like he would have to, since the sand, just before hitting him, fell to the ground. Taking a few steps forward, the man caught Garra as he collapsed from fatigue.

" Uchahi...Itachi." closing his eyes and actually falling in to a deep sleep. Itachi just looked down on the carrier of the one tailed demon and sighed.

" You haven't changed much...Garra-sama."

Tayuya gritted her teeth, having put up with her kid's constant crying. She had just gone through several groups of nin, leaving they're bodies for the animals on the ground. You'd think she would be allowed some peace and quite as she walked through the forest back to the village, but no, her child had to constantly cry the entire way. Tayuya wished, oh how she wished, that she had a roll of duck tape.

What?...it was her kid, but that doesn't mean that she wouldn't duck tape him to shut his ass up.

Tayuya, stomping through the mud and earth of the forest, the wind starting to pick up as storm clouds began to gather. Wow, how cliche could you get with this. There was bound to have been a 'boss' fight that happened, or some fashion of one. It's one thing to have a gigantic battle that 'seems' to have ripped the world itself apart with they're power, but to have rain, one of the things that have been spammed for years as one fo the most romantic scenes, to start now.

Tayuya, feeling the rain come down on her clothing and skin, blew a price of hair out of the way. Her child started to cry once more, Tayuya muttering a few curse's underneath her breath and continued through the mud. Well of course, there was the fact that she stopped a few seconds later after hearing something. Looking around in that direction, Tayuya pulled up her flute and prepared to summon her guardians. Looking at the tree's, Tayuya waited for the person to completely come out, only to raise her eyebrow at the site.

" Kyojin, what the hell are you doing here?" Tayuya asked, Kyojin just smiling a bit as he held his broken arm.

"Oh, just taking care of some business." Kyojin stated, looking behind Tayuya to see her child was still crying...and crying...and crying. " What's with the little guy?"

" Well, it was interesting." Tayuya stated, looking over at the countless dozens of body that littered the ground. " To begin, these dumbass's jumped out of nowhere and tried to attack me. I had to pull out my flute and beat the living shit out of them using three puppets made out of the parts of various people and containing the souls of demons that scared the shit out of the kid, also techniques that would be considered immoral, by all means unnatural to the physics of space and time itself."

" I see." Kyojin stated, looking over at the bodies, which had been brutally crushed and destroyed Nin littering the ground. Kyojin shuddered at how they looked, and at the thought of how they may have died. Looking back over at Tayuya, he could see that she was still trying to get her kid to shut up.

" You really don't know what your doing, do you?" Kyojin asked, Tayuya glaring at him for a minute or two, it intensifying to the point were Tayuya's eyes seemed to glow themselves. Kyojin just stared at her with a non-caring expression. " If you need help, you could just ask me." Kyojin stated, Tayuya about to yell at him, but held it when she heard her kid increase the volume on his crying. Tayuya muttered a sentence, Kyojin smiling a bit.

" What was that...I didn't quite hear it."

" I asked if you could help me with this..." Tayuya stated, pointing behind her and towards the child. Kyojin, almost feeling bad for Tayuya, walked over behind her and reached out for the kid. Tayuya let out a sigh of relief when she heard the crying stop, turning around to see Kyojin holding the child in his arm. Tayuya looked in amazement at how Kyojin was able to accomplish in three minutes what she had been trying to do in the past two hours.

" How did you..."

" It's all in the wrist." Kyojin stated, walking towards the village of the leafs. Tayuya, still amazed out how Kyojin was able to quiet the little monster she had spawned, ran up to him and stood right beside him as they continued to walk towards Konoha in the rain.

" Seriously, how the fuck did you do it?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Well, I think were almost there." Hinata stated, helping Naruto stand on his own two feet. The women was on Naruto's left side, helping Hinata keep Naruto stand up and be able to walk. Hinata was still reluctant to trust the 'women',but the fact that the man she was holding up told her that he trusts the women more then anyone in the world ( his exact words were god-forsaken world). She just wasn't able to argue against it. Hinata noticed that the women had sent her a small smile before picking Naruto back up, Hinata running over to get Naruto's right side.

Naruto, even though he heard Hinata, made no attempt to respond. He just didn't have the energy for a conversation, trying to be as direct as he could. He felt the uneasiness of from Hinata and how worried she was, the same feeling he felt from the Kyuubi. Of course, she was somewhat technically there, so it was understandable that she would know how much energy was wasted through he fight. Naruto let out a small sigh, letting his head drop and 'walk' through the forest.

He was dragged through the forest, his feet dragging a bit as both Hinata and the Kyuubi continued to carry his ass through the bodies of dead nin. Foreign shinobi were limping away from the village and trying to return to there respected village. It seems that no rock nin were among those that had died, from what he could see that is. He felt slightly better, knowing that the people of his village had not been so stupid enough to try and follow him to the this hell hole. Then again, they would be arriving soon once they realized that the Naruto left there was as mechanical puppet he made.

That was going to be a bitch to explain.

After a few more minutes of being pulled, they arrived into a large section of the forest. It had no bodies..that were visible, but it was fulled of various pieces of rock, ice laying around on the ground in shattered parts, gigantic rocks shooting up from the earth, tree's littering the ground. Naruto wondered what the hell happened here, but then again realized that his little fight with the cloud kage an hour or so ago could have done worse damage. Looking around, Naruto felt a familiar presence. His head dropped, when he realized exactly who it was.

" Hinata-chan, Kyuubi-chan...would you two mind letting go of me now?" Naruto asked, both said people looking at each other before back at him. " Don't worry, I can walk..." He stated, the other two hesitating for a moment, before gently releasing Naruto from they're grasp. He wobbled a bit, but managed to keep on his feet, slowly turning around.

" You know, I could never get your ability to sneak up on me like that." Naruto stated, now facing the person that had appeared before him. Hinata, on the other hand, was shocked at the sight of the person, while Kyuubi only shook her head and sighed. Yep, it seems that Jiraiya did use the technique she taught him. Anko stood there, just smiling at the sight of them.

" Hello Naruto-kun, it's been quite some time..."

" I noticed."

" But, I really don't have much time left..." Anko stated, looking down at her hands. Yep, the skin was starting to dissolve off of her. Anko then looked back up at Naruto, or at all of Naruto. " You've grown quite a bit."

" You would be amazed at what has happened in the past years...mom." Naruto stated, Anko's smile brightening a bit. Though that was before she remembered why she decided to stay behind

" Naruto, there's something I need to tell you...Jiraiya's gone..." Anko stated, Naruto looking at her in confusion. Though, it all snapped a moment later, his head dropping as he thought about it.

" He's..." Anko looked at her son in sympathy, before changing her view over towards the Kyuubi. They made direct eye contact.

" Hey, Kyuubi bitch, you mind looking out for him while I'm way?" Anko asked, the Kyuubi shrugging to her question.

" I've been doing it for the past eight years, why stop now?" She replied, Anko smiling and looking over at Hinata. She still seemed to be in shock at the sight of Anko, this only making it more tempting to trick her but Anko decided against it.

" Hinata-chan..." Hinata snapped out of her thoughts after hearing her named called and looked over at Anko. "You take care of him too...and if you want to get into his pants, wait until after the time limit has been passed." Hinata's face grew red, her head filling with the thoughts of the fantasy's she's had for the past 6 or so years. Anko smiled at that, looking back down at her hand to see that it had increased it's speed. She could feel it all over her body now, Anko probably had only a minute or two left before she needed to go back." I guess it's time for me to go then.." Naruto's head snapped in her direction.

" What!? But you-"

" I'm dead Naruto-kun, I have to go back...eventually." Anko stated, opening her arms. The dissolving of her body picking up the pace. " But before I go, how about a hug?" Naruto hesitated, before running towards his mother. Of course, Anko didn't seem to have correctly timed it, since before Naurto could reach her, just before he could wrap his arms around her. The last of her body evaporated into dust.

" NN-o..." Naruto stated, his body freezing for a moment. After everything that happened, after all that he went through. It was all gathering up inside him, making him feel like he was stretching his body beyond it's limit. From the chakra exhaustion, the pain, the mental stress...Naruto could only really do one thing.

He fainted...

"Naruto-kun!!"
