ok, the satisfied was a rhetorical thing, but hey n.n


She was gone. He didn't know where or why, but she was gone. Why the hell did he have to wait until morning, when he knew he would fall asleep as soon as he figured it out. Gods, why was he such an IDIOT?!?!?!? Naruto looked around the room madly, only to find that all of her things were still there, but she, was not. What. The. Hell! It was then that he saw a message pinned in place by a kunai. Just like the mission stats before when he was staying with Hinata. He walked closer to it, and snatched it off, and read what the urgent words said.

WARNING!!! HINATA-CHAN IN DANGER!!! UNKNOWN NINJA!!! NARUTO-KUN, DO NOT LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!!!!

Well, shit.


Hinata had been running since around three in the morning when she knew, knew he was asleep, and now it was around ten. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed. All her chakra had gone to running, keeping her lungs full of air, and her legs untiring. Even her reserves were drained. For all the training she had made herself do for chakra control, she easily had three times Naruto's chakra amount. At least, his human chakra. Needless to say, she was completely and entirely exhausted. As she sat on the grass panting, she faintly saw something move in the corner of her eye. Then the same movement from the other side.

"Who's there?" She called out experimentally. She got no answer, however. With her hands hidden by a sheet of sunlight kissed hair, she preformed a few hand signals. Her Byukagan activated, she swept her eyesight through the forest. Digging deeper for any strand of chakra that may lie inside her, she expanded her search. Nothing. She had seen something move. She reached down to grab a kunai, then realized something that may have been the reason this didn't have the ending she had hoped it would.

She had left all her weapons at the inn.

Well, shit.


Damn, I gotta get her fast. He's coming, I can feel it. I know that I'm in her blind spot. So, all I got to do is wound her, and get the hell out of here. A female ninja thought to herself, perched awkwardly in a tree. One leg was propped up on the trunk, one arm was holding her up, the opposite leg was twisted up in the air (placed strategically on another limb) and the other arm was tucked beneath her. Okay, now or never, he'll be here soon. She thought, throwing a kunai Hinata's way. It landed in her shoulder. The raven haired girl cried out, and jumped to her feet.

"Who the hell is out there!!??" She screamed.

Shut up, shut up, shut up!!! The mysterious ninja thought urgently, throwing a second kunai, and landing neatly in Hinata's side. She cried out a second time. Now, the ninja figured Hinata wouldn't cause much trouble. She jumped from the tree, equally as awkward as when she was in it, and landed behind the Hyuga.

"Be quiet. There is a very dangerous ninja after you." The girl said quietly. Hinata jumped, and spun around on one heel. She faced this girl, and glared.

"Yeah, smart ass, it's you." Hinata growled. Then a crash was audible from behind the trees. This thought sped through the third mind that morning.

Well...SHIT!!!!!


Naruto ran, rather blindly, through the forest, searching for Hinata. As he was running, he was thinking of how he could actually save her if it was someone like...Itachi or something. He didn't know if he was stronger than that man quite yet. In fact, he was nearly positive that if faced in a fair battle, the man would kill him. But none of that entered his thoughts as he sped through the thicket of trees and leaves. All he could think of was the danger Hinata could be in, and he knew that it would be his fault if he didn't get her back to Konoha safely.

About this time, a wave of vertigo hit Naruto. The ground swam before his eyes, and it seemed as if the air itself had a form. Well, this was irony at it's best. There was only one person that could do this in the form of a intelligent gen jutsu. Guess who?


(Hai, this shall be a song fic n. find the song rainy monday by shiny toy guns PLAY IT!!!!! riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight now)

As it was, the crash was nothing but Hinata letting her anger get the better of her. It took the last of her reserved chakra to push the girl off of her with a blast of chakra. The wave left her with nothing at all. Hinata's eyes fluttered for a moment, then rolled to the back of her head. At about this time, a blur of black and orange flashed behind her, and caught her as she fell. Naruto knelt down, panting, holding Hinata in his arms. A single line of blood ran down the side of his face, and he glared at the female nin in front of him.

"What did you do to her?" He growled, then jumped at another crash.

"We gotta move!" The girl cried.

"Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?" Naruto countered.

"I think that my father is coming to kill your angel there!"

"Your...father?"

"Hai, oh, maybe you know him as Itachi-sama. Either way, we have to move!!" This was punctuated with another crash. Itachi was . . . a father??
