A/N: This is the chapter I've been hating to do cause its got a POV I have
a hard time writing. I love Neji too much (it scares me!) He's a great
character and it's hard to do him justice and still use him for what I need
him for. ^o^

Chapter 8 – Something Old, Something New
It was early morning as Neji surveyed the layout of the bandit camp from a high vantage in the trees. As he waited for the others to get in position for the attack, he took another chance to scan the area with his Byakugan.
"I don't like this," he thought. "There's something not right here."
When he first received word from Anko that his team had been assigned to yet another 'blow-it-up' job by the Hokage, he was starting to get the impression that was all she thought his team was good for. He knew she gave more important missions to that slacker Shikamaru, but he still wasn't sure why. It just ate at him. Now looking below at yet another sizable camp of a hundred-odd mercenaries that had built up on the border between Fire and Lightning countries he began to see an odd pattern.
The perimeter was neat and orderly with staked torches and tight-looking sentries, while the interior layout of tents and fires was scattered, almost sloppy looking. The waking fighters moving sluggishly about the camp definitely didn't look like ronins. In fact, they were more like street thugs. Certainly nothing a ninja village like Konoha needed to worry about.
"They don't even look well-fed," he realized.
The supply lines at the back of the camp were top caliber in their layout as well. Carts were loaded with foodstuffs and weaponry, all lined up neatly behind teams of oxen. The pack animals were tethered in a straight row along well-tended feed lines. It made for an odd picture.
The strangest thing had to be the large blue tent at the center of the encampment. It was obviously where the leaders were, but there was no traffic in and out its entrance. Neji noticed how all the bandits were carefully to steer clear and not get too close to it. With his heighten senses he could read body language of those passing by and every one of them made sure to avert their eyes in a clear display of avoidance.
Neji watched as one guy who looked like a real bruiser strolled by the tent's entrance. The man was strong looking and knew it. He had that arrogant walk of a bully declaring his dominance over others. As a breeze caught at the tent's flap and cast it ajar the man's appearance faltered.. His toughness melted away and was replaced by a far different look. One that Neji was fond of seeing only in his worst enemies.
"Terror," he said to himself at a whisper. This man feared punishment and it was something he knew well. His entire body cringed in a way that said it was recalling a past lesson in pain. He had been made a recent example of by someone in that tent.
"I don't like this at all," Neji thought.
He took a breath and brought his fingers to his lips. He was ready to whistle the signal to abort the mission, when he stopped in midmotion.
"Damn it." he exhaled. The attack had already begun.
On cue, a red blur raced out of the trees along the brush line. Its target was the line of animals in front of the supply carts. Akamaru had grown to full size as Kiba had passed his fifteenth birthday. The Inuzuka clan having long bred their dogs for strength, stamina and intelligence had achieved much in Akamaru. The canine was just smaller that an average sized man and had more chakra ability that even his sire, Komaru. With his hackles raised, he resembled some nightmarish Onii-wolf as he descended on the camp.
Seeing the dog, the oxen broke their lines and with the him snapping at their flanks were driven into a frenzy running over tents and people alike. A couple of sentries tried in vain to stop Akamaru by throwing shuriken and kunai, but the projectiles merely bounced from his hide. His master had given him a soldier pill, turning his fur that frightening crimson color. The dog also employed a technique that Kiba called Ketetsu (Iron Fur) which deflected such flimsy attacks. Kiba, looking like a possessed beast himself quickly joined his pet in the fray.
Neji saw a flash of yellow from the opposite side of clearing as Naruto moved into position. He ran toward a massive oak at the edge of camp and using his Rasengan, the nin bent low ripping through the tree's trunk near its base. As he stood to full height his fist whipped around to hammer into the tree, guiding the toppling giant's fall. The strike directed it to land deep into the confusion. The crash was followed by a dozen eager blond doppelgangers jumping into the fight.
In a puff of nin-smoke Neji materialized unseen behind a group of armed guards just south of the action. They stood open mouthed in awe at the spectacle unfolding before them. Neji moved silently among them like a specter and with his Jyuuken dispatched them with little effort.
A low rumble signaled the arrival of the final team member coming down a steep slope off of a northern hillside, Choji's Nikudan Sensha (Meat Tank) blasted through the log barriers in place and the sentries fled from its path.
While in battle Neji never stopped paying attention to the big blue tent and even now saw that no one left or entered it even with all the commotion. Choji's taijutsu picked up speed as he aimed straight for it. It was one of the few things left standing.
The pale-eyed ninja held his breath a little as he paused his own attack to see what would happen.
"Come on, Choji" he prayed silently. "Prove me wrong and flatten that thing."
The Akimichi taijutsu specialist thundered towards his target when Neji caught a movement at the tent flap. He strained to see more as Choji's mass blocked his view.
"It doesn't matter now," Neji tried to assure himself. "No one could just stop the meat tank attack that close." The comforting thought did little to stop his jaw from dropping open as he watched his 'bad feeling' unfold.
Choji bounced back into the air after being deflected hard off of something. The chubby nin lost his multi-size effect midair and hit ground grasping at his stomach in agony.
Neji observed a dark haired man of slight build standing in front of the tent, he was cloaked in a midnight blue cape with a swirling red cloud pattern and his forehead protector had its country symbol scratched out.
"An escaped nin," Neji guessed as he moved toward the man. He looked familiar some how.
Akamaru broke through a group of bandits he was menacing to charge the new threat when the mysterious figure locked his gaze on the dog. The hulking beast froze in his tracks and began to whimper and shake uncontrollably. Kiba seeing his distress was quickly beside him.
"Akamaru, what's the matter?," he asked. The nin-dog continued to cry and moved to hide behind Kiba's legs. "What's wrong?!" he yelled in frustration. The dog hadn't acted like this since it had first seen Gaara so long ago.
Neji walked cautiously toward the man.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
The rogue ninja's voice was mild, almost pleasant despite the flat, hard line of his mouth. He responded smartly, "Oh I'm just a traveler. My apologies, "he said, his eyes moving over to where Choji was still struggling to stand, "I saw your ball and couldn't resist kicking it."
The Byakugan emerged on Neji's face as he took up the ready stance.
"I see... your Hyuga clan, Hajimemashite." the stranger said in mild surprise. Neji was done with talking. As he moved to attack, he heard Naruto yelling from far behind them.
"Neji, wait!"
He closed the distance between him and his opponent in a heartbeat. He thrust his hand forward in a lethal strike and suddenly the man was gone.
"Where the hell?!" Neji exclaimed.
The pale-eyed nin felt a fingertip press lightly on the middle of his back.
"This is where that blindspot is, ne?" said the man who somehow got behind him.
Neji turned and launched another strike again into thin air as the disappearing act was repeated. He still felt the man's finger resting lightly on the one place he couldn't see.
Neji gritted his teeth in anger. He readied his Kaiten (Heavenly Spin) when he felt a crushing grip on his shoulder, stopping him from turning.
"There's no need for that now," the man said into his ear softly, "after all were practically cousins."
"He knew what I was going to do," Neji thought in shock. He saw Naruto running up to them as the man released his shoulder.
"Itachi, you bastard!" yelled Naruto.
It all fell into place as Neji turned to face the stranger who had backed away out of range of the Kaiten.
"Uchiha Itachi."
Itachi nodded his head in the slightest of bows to Neji's recognition.
"Naruto-kun, the Hyuga boy here was about to show me his greatest attack," explained the psychotic nin. "I feel it only impolite," he continued, "if I don't show him mine."
Neji watched as the blood-red sharingan swirled up from the depths of Itachi's black eyes.
"Mange Sharingan."
Neji heard himself start screaming as he fell under the hellish jutsu.
Naruto arrived in time to catch Neji as he collapsed and watched the Byakugan faded from his blank staring eyes.
Kiba ran over to take Neji from Naruto's arms. "Choji! He needs help."
"No!" said Naruto keeping his eyes on Neji's face as he passed his limp form to Kiba. "Hurry and take him to Konoha and tell the Hokage. Go with Akamaru now."
Both man and dog gave Naruto an uncertain look, but did as they were told leaving the camp on an arrow's path back home.
Red, demonic chakra began to whip around Naruto as he glared fiercely at Sasuke's brother. The very air around Naruto swirled wildly and the mercenaries who had remained to watch what Itachi would do to the leaf ninja all shielded their eyes in the gale.
Choji was finally up onto his feet again and grinned viciously with expectation. "Kick his ass, Naruto!" he cheered.
"You ready to die again, " Naruto asked ominously.
Itachi seemed unaffected by the display. "You disappoint me Naruto-kun," he said placidly. "After all I did to arrange this little reunion for you."
With that a second person emerged from the blue tent. A petite and young- looking woman walked calmly to stand a few paces behind the Uchiha. Her kimono was pale lavender, sashed with a violet shade that matched the color of her large doe-like eyes. Her pale round face was framed with short silvery blond hair that lay just above the shoulders.
Choji thought she was pretty in the way a child's doll might be seen to be, yet her manner was as frozen and lifeless as that of Itachi. What he saw next though caused him to break out in a cold sweat. Looking at back Naruto, he saw something he never thought he'd see in the most powerful ninja he knew... Naruto looked afraid.
"Setsuko,"the blond nin said looking shaken, ". . . Arashi Setsuko"
Itachi's mouth twitched as the ghost of a smile hinted at his lips. "I'm so glad you remembered her."
As Itachi spoke some of the mercenaries who had remained to watch started to move in closer. Their confidence rose as Itachi and Setsuko finally seemed to have an advantage over the Leaf nins. Itachi's eyes flicked to the side in annoyance.
"Setsuko," he asked the pale kunoichi, "please tidy up this place. This trash has outlived their usefulness."
"No!" screamed Naruto.
The flowing sleeves of Setsuko's robe fluttered as her hands rose above her head. In the swift movement dozens of hooked senbon (throwing needles) flew to pierce and snare the rabble surrounding them. Each senbon was attached to a gossamer steel thread she had looped to her fingers.
Her voice sounded like a small child's as her victims barely had time to start struggling.
"Shinne."
Electricity flowed from Setsuko's fingers charging along the metallic threads. Cries of alarm and fear were cut short, replaced with a greasy, sizzling hiss.
The stench of cooked human flesh and burnt hair, caused the bile to rise in Naruto's throat. Choji, unable to control himself, retched noisily behind him.
"We need to get out of here, "Naruto realized desperately.
"Choji, we're leaving!" he yelled, "Earth Splash Combo!"
"O-kay!" Choji said, wiping his mouth he sprang into action. He leapt high in the air again using his Baika no Jutsu (Multi-size), while Naruto's hands flashed with seals, carefully timing his jutsu's release with Choji's landing.
"Doton Sokuryuusha!" (Earth-Type skill: Instant Quicksand)
The massive chuunin's impact caused a shockwave effect on the liquefied ground. Itachi and Setsuko were forced to spring to the tops of tent poles to avoid the splashing earth. The ground flowed like raging water only to harden again, but moments after it surged forth.
The ninja landed back on the ground and watched crossed a hellish scene of cooked bodies and twisted earth as Naruto and Choji made their escape into the trees.
"I didn't think he would run," said Setsuko quietly.
"It doesn't matter," Itachi replied. "We've accomplished our part, now Orochimaru needs to keep his side of the bargain."
As Itachi and Setsuko disappeared the tendrils of nin-smoke marking their departure drifted lazily over the silent and dread landscape.

Extra A/N: For those who were wondering, in my story Neji can see Itachi behind him, but only once he moves. This is based on what Kishimoto-san has revealed about Neji's personal training regime for the Byakugan(i.e. counting birds). I guessed the Byakugan expanded the eye's field of vision, increasing the "rods" and "cones" in the retina nerve. I also assumed that the composite of the eye remained the same. Meaning that peripheral vision was expanded to almost completely behind the body and foveal vision was extended with perfect clarity to a mile or two in direct line of sight.
Peripheral vision is triggered when "rods" in the eye sense movement. It's why you can feel something come towards you from a seeming blind area like from above or the far left or right. You don't know its shape or color but you know "its" there cause its moving. Given Itachi first moved extremely quickly, then became perfectly still at the edges of Neji's vision (meaning behind him). He "dissappeared" for a moment, until he poked Neji in the back. Given a couple seconds, Neji would have picked him up on "radar" anyway.
If you disagree (like one of my reviewers did!) on how I understand the Hyuga bloodline technique, my apologies. But I hope this helps you understand my story better!
