Hinata lay in the hospital bed exhausted after just giving birth. "Is the baby ok?" she asked. Sakura had a wide smile on her face; she passed the baby carefully to Naruto. Naruto cradled the baby, tears coming into his eyes, "Hinata… she's fine," he sat down on a chair next to her bed, "Oh, look at her Hinata, look at our baby girl." He passed her the baby; Hinata cradled her carefully and laughed, "Hello Kimiko." She greeted.
Naruto stared at the baby in awe and joy, "Welcome to the Uzumaki family." Suddenly the door burst open, Neji walked in hurriedly, he was covering his eyes with his hand, not wanting to see his cousin give birth. "Can I look, is everything ok?" Sakura sighed as she walked passed him on her way out, pulling off the sterile gloves and throwing them in a bin, "You can look Neji, and the baby's fine." She said before leaving the room.
Neji slowly lowered his hand and looked to the baby, "Wow… it's tiny…" Naruto looked to him with an annoyed expression on his face, "Yes SHE is Neji-san." Neji shook his head, "Sorry." He muttered. Naruto turned to the baby, "Yes, the big scary looking impersonal man is your uncle." He said.
"And the idiot is your father." Replied Neji monotonously. Naruto wanted to shake his fist angrily, but instead he just glared at his, ex-rival.
The doors burst open again and Sakura ran into the room, "Naruto, Neji, we have an emergency, Sound Nin are attacking the village."
"What?" Exclaimed Naruto, Neji and Hinata in chorus. "We've all been called to the village gates, sorry guys but we have to go." Hinata looked to Naruto worry written all over her face, "Naruto-kun." She whispered. Neji left the room with Sakura, deciding to give them a few moments alone.
Naruto nodded assertively, "Hinata, look after yourself. I'll be back for sure, and then we'll spend some more time with Kimiko," He kissed Hinata's forehead and then the baby's. He turned to leave. Hinata clasped his wrist, "Naruto-kun, promise me you'll be back." she demanded desperately.
Naruto nodded, his determined face softening, "I give you my word I'll stop the sound then come back to you both. Hinata-chan please protect Kimiko, and yourself." Hinata let go of his hand as he ran from the room, tears welling in her eyes.
Naruto managed to catch up with Neji and Sakura by the village gates. Tenten, Lee, Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikimaru and Choji were all waiting there. "What's our status?" asked Neji as the three ninja came to a halt by the rest of the group.
"Sound has taken down all of our other defences, all that's left is our remaining ninja and the village walls." Explained Shikimaru. "Damn." Muttered Sakura. Shikimaru turned to address Naruto and Sakura, "You two have been ordered to go to the frontline where Tsunade is waiting for you. Be careful."
"Wait!" shouted Ino causing everyone to pause and turn to her in anticipation. Ino took in a deep breath, "Naruto…. How's the baby? Was it a girl?" Everyone sweat dropped except for Naruto, "Yeah she's a beautiful baby girl."
As Naruto and Ino went over baby conversation. Lee stepped over to Sakura; he kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Look after yourself Sakura-san." He said. Sakura grasped his green jumpsuit and pulled him close to her she planted a kiss on his lips forcefully.
When she pulled away she nodded, "I'll be fine, you make sure you look after yourself." She took a step away from him, she turned back to him, smiled then ran ahead, grasping Naruto by the collar as she did so, "Come on Baka, this isn't the time." She yelled as she charged forwards.
Hinata was asleep with the baby held protectively in her arms when she heard the door creak open. Her eyes snapped open. Four shadows crept into the room stealthily. Hinata sat up abruptly, "Who's there?" she asked. She held the baby close to her, "Byakogan." Her veins travelled to her eyes and she viewed the room carefully. She recognised the figures immediately, "You!" she whispered.
Naruto and Sakura met up in the thick of the outer forest. "You took your time." She muttered. "Sorry I was delivering a baby." Said Sakura, "My baby." Finished Naruto. Tsunade nodded, "We're going to face Orochimaru, as far as I can tell Sasuke isn't with him, all we need to do is take him down then the army will be lost for orders."
Neji waited patiently for the sound ninja to make it through the gates. Shikimaru had an ear microphone on, "The sound ninja made it passed out fifth defence block aid, their numbers have nearly halved though."
"Do we have any news from Sakura-san?" asked Lee urgently. Shikimaru shook his head. "She'll be fine Lee, stop worrying so much." Muttered Ino, although she was also worrying about her best friend, and also her baby, who'd she'd left with her mother.
Hinata got out of bed swiftly, holding the baby close to her. The four figures stepped closer. "Hanabi?" she whispered, "Why aren't you helping protect Konoha?" Hanabi was accompanied with three of the Hyuga family's best ninja, not including Hinata and Neji. "I'm protecting our clan, Hinata." She replied, refusing to call her 'Hinata-sama'
She produced a kunai, "Now why don't you let me hold my niece for a bit, you must be very tired." Hinata took another step backwards. Her back hit a wall. She held the baby closer to her, "You wont do anything to Kimiko!" she shouted.
They still stepped forwards; Hinata saw the large window on the wall to her left. Seeing no other options, she shielded the baby and sprinted for the window, she charged it and crashed through the glass covering the baby with her body as she took the unforgiving slices to her tired body from the glass silently.
Naruto paused and turned at the sound of smashing glass. Sakura stopped after him. Her worried glance mirrored his, "Did they get in the village?" asked Sakura. Tsunade stopped ahead of them, "Whatever it is the other Shinobi can handle it, you need to stay focused in our match against Orochimaru." Her voice was so full of authority it blocked the painful worry she was feeling for her subordinates, Sakura, her best student and Naruto, the boy she'd treated like a son for so long. She began the leaping from tree to tree again, closely followed by the two Shinobi.
Neji spun at the sound of breaking glass, even though he could see it anyway, "That came from the hospital!" exclaimed Kiba. "We don't have time to worry about that!" snapped Ino, "They're here!" Neji reluctantly turned back to the approaching sound ninja and gained a fighting stance.
Hinata shielded the baby from the glass and landed on the ground perfectly, she was cut deeply from the glass but the baby was fine. The baby started to cry. She started sprinting through the village towards the safety area's where the civilians were lead to during an attack. Hinata was cut off by another member of the Hyuga clan. She gasped and changed direction.
Tsunade paused at the sight of Orochimaru's snake. "Ok, Naruto, Sakura we're summoning too, if we can take out the snake then we can fight him a bit more fairly." The three of them bit into their thumbs and completed the summoning seals. Naruto summoned the nine tails, Tsunade summoned her slug and Sakura summoned a giant humming bird.
"Ok, let's go!" ordered Tsunade, "Sakura you attack the snake from above and distract him, Naruto will then take him down from below and I'll attack Orochimaru. Understood?" Sakura nodded and jumped onto the humming birds back. "Good luck guys!" she called, "Maila lets go!" The humming bird flew off at an incredible speed. Naruto jumped onto the Kyubi's back. "Ok we have to dig underneath…"
"Do we have to?"
"Yes!" Naruto replied angrily. The fox sighed and started digging super fast. They were soon underground and out of sight.
Lee kicked the sound ninja into a tree and snapped the tree in half. He saw Sakura on top of her summoning animal hovering above the trees. "They've found Orochimaru!" he called. Neji hit a sound ninja in the heart and sent him to the ground coughing up blood. "There's another wave of ninja coming." He shouted above the clash of weapons and screams of the sound ninja.
Akamaru jumped onto a sound ninja and ripped her throat out. Shino let his bugs onto the ground; "I'll go ahead and stop as many as I can from there." He said jumping into the trees. Ino stayed put, she was leaning over Shikimaru, healing a wound, "You should be more careful." She said. Shikimaru stood up, "We'll go ahead too." He called. Ino and Choji followed him into the forest after Shino.
Hinata ran into the Hyuga household, the baby clutched to her chest as tears fell down her face. She ran into her office and opened the cupboard; she made the pile of scrolls into a bed for the baby and locked the door. She stood in front of it.
The door in front of her opened and Hanabi walked into the room, "You're going to protect your child? Aren't you tired? You've only just given birth, why don't you rest and let me take care of the baby?"
"Why don't you choke on your own blood?" screamed Hinata as she rushed her sister and started attacking her with all of her strength. Hanabi backed up a little shocked. She was barely managing to dodge Hinata's attacks.
Sakura dodged the attack from the snake's teeth. "Now, Maila!" she called. The humming bird dropped her. As Sakura built up speed she clenched her fist and aimed a punch for the snake's head.
She punched as hard as she could at the snake's mouth. The snake went into the ground and dust rose as she stood up. The snake, however, was just annoyed at her. It opened its mouth and sent Sakura to the ground. It then took her into its mouth. Sakura held the mouth open as the snake tried to close it on her. "Stupid child!" shouted Orochimaru, "Kill her!" he shouted to the snake. The snake tried harder to crush Sakura between its teeth. Sakura screamed in agony as she felt her arm muscles begin to rip.
Lee paused the sound Ninja had stopped coming. He heard Sakura's scream echo through the forest, "Sakura!" he shouted. He started to run towards her but Neji pulled him back, "She'll be fine." He said. Lee looked back to his friend, "But you heard her…"
"Naruto's there, he'll look after her."
Sakura felt her muscles rip further as the snake began to close its mouth on her. Suddenly there was a burst of mud and a growl. Sakura was thrown out of the snake's mouth and into the air, "Maila!" she called. The humming bird flew underneath her and caught her. "Are you ok Miss Sakura?" asked the humming bird. Sakura nodded, "I'll be fine, I just need to heal myself." She said, "Fly me above the snake so I can heal." She ordered. The humming bird flew upwards as Sakura healed her muscles with her chakra.
Kyubi had the snake pinned down by his paw. Naruto looked up to Sakura, she was standing again and ready to fight. "Tsunade!" shouted Naruto. Kyubi leaned his head down next to the snake's, "Long time no see." He growled. He bit into the snake's head viciously.
Tsunade jumped from the slug and onto the snake's back, she started hitting Orochimaru with all of her strength. Orochimaru wasn't expecting the attack and fell backwards. Tsunade stood over him about to stamp on his head. He completed a jutsu and disappeared. The snake disappeared also.
Naruto sighed with relief, as did Sakura. "We lived." She shouted jumping up and down. "Miss Sakura you're hurting my back." said Maila. "Oh, sorry Maila." Sakura sat down.
Hinata hit her sister in the stomach as hard as she could and sent her into a wall. Hanabi vomited blood as she fell to the ground. Hinata was out of breath; she was tired after giving birth. Just as she was about to go back to the baby the three other Hyuga members ran into the room and started attacking her. She dodged an attack aimed at her heart but she was hit in the face she was sent spiralling into the desk.
Ino smiled. Although she was in a sound ninja's body. She ran ahead and caught up with the sound ninja running towards her, "Orochimaru's just given orders to pull back." she said, her voice was that of a man's. "We have to leave now!" she ordered running with them.
"What about the other ninja?" Asked one of the sound ninja. "We were wiped out." Replied Ino, "The Konoha Shinobi took us by surprise." Suddenly two giant hands rushed through the trees and grasped all of the sound ninja including Ino. Ino smiled, "Surprise!" she said before releasing the jutsu.
Shino sent his bugs to attack them all. The sound ninja all died quickly and Choji dropped them. Ino jumped from a tree followed by Shikimaru, Choji and Shino, "We got them all I think." Said Ino flicking her fringe from her face. Lee, Tenten and Kiba caught up to them, "It's over the sound ninja's are retreating." Said Tenten.
"Where's Neji?" asked Ino. "He's gone to check on Hinata, the window smashing earlier unnerved him," explained Tenten. "Akamaru went with him to check it out." Finished Kiba.
Neji ran into the hospital room, just as he'd thought the glass was smashed and Hinata and the baby were missing. He jumped through the smashed window followed by Akamaru. Hinata's blood was smeared over the glass on the ground. "Can you find her?" he asked the dog. Just as Akamaru was picking up her sent Naruto ran into view, "What's going on?"
"She jumped out of the window and took the baby with her." Explained Neji. Naruto's face went pale, "Hinata!" he called as loud as he could. Akamaru started running after the scent, Naruto and Neji followed him.
They came to the Hyuga clan's house; Akamaru ran through the halls, there was a trail of blood along the floor where Hinata had ran through the hall. A baby could be heard screaming. Finally they found the room where the blood led too.
There was a dead Hyuga member lying in the doorway blood trickling out of his mouth. Against the wall was Hanabi, she was barely conscious. Another Hyuga member was halfway out of a smashed window and the other one lay on her desk, covering death reports in coughed up blood. Hinata lay in front of the large cupboard.
"Hinata!" shouted Naruto running to her side and turning her over. Hinata's eyes were slits. Neji stood over them, "I-in the c-cupboard." She stuttered hoarsely. A loud wailing could be heard through the door of the cupboard.
Neji stepped over his cousin and unlocked a door with the key Hinata had given him a month ago; he picked the baby out unharmed. "She's ok." He said kneeling next to her with the baby. Naruto put Hinata's head in his lap. Hinata smiled, "You kept your word." she said smiling weakly. Naruto looked over her and felt tears running from his eyes. "Yeah, you know I don't back down from my word." he replied.
He picked her up, "We'll find Sakura and she can heal you!" he said running from the room. Neji followed slowly, holding the baby in his arms. "Y-you d-don't deserve I-it." Stuttered Hanabi, "I-I w-will kill that b-brat…" Her head dropped when she fell unconscious. Neji looked away from her and carried the baby from the room.
Hinata slowly opened her eyes, "Hinata?" The blurry colours of the room around her seemed to focus slowly. Naruto was staring down at her with a relieved smile on his face. Neji was the other side of her.
Hinata looked around her; she was in a hospital room. She was lying in a bed. Sakura walked into the room carrying a clipboard, she stopped at the foot of the bed; "You gave everyone a scare." She said. Hinata laughed nervously, "Sorry, is the baby ok?" she asked suddenly sitting up.
Naruto's smile broadened, "Yeah, she's fine." Naruto showed her the giggling baby in his arms, "See she's fine." Said Naruto Hinata's eyes filled with tears of relief and happiness.
Neji looked to Naruto and Sakura, "Can I talk to her for a moment; it's clan business." He explained. Sakura nodded with a smile and dragged Naruto out of the room. "I love you Hinata." Called Naruto as Sakura closed the door.
Hinata wiped her eyes then looked to Neji, "What's happening?" Neji paused for a moment, guilt washed over his face, "I'm… so sorry." Hinata hesitated her face full of confusion, "What are you sorry for?"
"I didn't protect you, what's the point in helping you run the clan if I can't even protect my sister…" he paused when he realised what he'd said.
Hinata's eyes widened with shock, Neji had never referred to her as a sister before; it was always Hinata who said the sentimental things. "I didn't appoint you as head of the clan to protect me." She said finally, "And if you'd have left during the attack… well they needed you there." Neji sighed. "There's no need to apologise, Neji, the only person I blame is Hanabi, what happened to her? I didn't kill her did I?"
Neji shook his head, "But she was almost as injured as you were, we've locked her up and she's to stay in prison for a very long time. The other three men didn't make it; they were dead before we found you. You did a good job." Hinata nodded, "How many scrolls do I have left to read?" she asked. Neji smiled slightly, "I finished them for you, I understand if you want to stick to the traditions now after this." Hinata shook her head and smiled, "Nope, this has just made me more determined we should change the clan. So that this will never happen again, right?" Neji nodded.
Naruto smiled as he leaned against the door and listened in on the conversation. "You did well brat." Naruto looked to the voice. Tsunade was standing next to him, "You helped save the village and managed to get a child. I'm proud to call you a Shinobi of Konoha."
Naruto nodded, "Hey, do you want to hold the baby for a bit?" he asked. Tsunade shook her head, "Small children and I don't get on." She replied. Naruto smiled and looked back to the door.
"You've got a strong wife." Said Tsunade. Naruto smiled dreamily. "I can't help but think," continued Tsunade, "That perhaps one day I'll be saying the same about your daughter." Naruto looked to the baby in his arms, "She'll take after her mother." He said.
"She'll turn out fine." Said Tsunade as she walked passed Naruto and towards the medical room Sakura had walked to, "How do you know?" asked Naruto after her.
Tsunade smiled to herself and opened the door; she paused in the doorway. She walked through and closed the door. "Hey, Tsunade!" called Naruto after her. Tsunade turned after closing the door, "She has great parents." She replied before walking towards Sakura.
