Part two sorry guys switching gears. We're following Team Gai then clicking back to Hinata-sama this time! THANK YOU, you guys for everything! All Naruto Characters Belong To Masashi Kishimoto-sama!! Ch 4 Mission Day Part 2 - This Mission's Too Easy… Returning To Konoha, Wait… What Happened??
Team Gai's Mission: Retrieve The Suna Scroll. Suna-Sand
Having finished their mission in record time due to Neji's quick work of the enemy, Team Gai enters the Konoha gate. Only to be given disturbing news from Shino and Kiba.
"Hinata-sama was what??" Neji was furious.
"Yosh, what poor tidings this is! Just after our great triumph in our Springtime of youth!"
"Lee, do you have to say such things when these guys are obviously not in the mood?"
"Inuzuka, Aburame… What happened tell me the whole story."
They tell Neji all about what happened. At the mention of the Yukino clan he recognizes the danger Hinata is in and immediately heads for the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Yes, Neji. What is it?"
" I would like to request a special mission to the land of snow, to retrieve Hinata-sama from the Yukino Clan."
"The Yukino Clan?? But I thought they were wiped out… By the Hyuuga!"
"So did we but apparently they've returned and are now holding Hinata-sama captive."
"Alright, you may go, but do not go alone, you may take one additional person plus Sakura, making a three-man squad."
"Thank You Hokage-sama." bows and exits.
"Shizune! Call Sakura here."
"Yes Lady Tsunade!"
(A Few Minutes Later)
"Hokage-sama? What's this about a mission to the Snow Country?"
"Hyuuga Hinata is being held captive by the Yukino Clan."
"Hinata-chan? How-"
"Neji will explain, no there's not a lot of time, so here I've made some mixtures that should help most of the poisons that the Yukino use. You can bring whatever you need to make your own during the mission. It will be good for your training."
"Thank you Hokage-sama, I'll be off now."
"Good Luck."
(In The Village, Neji Searches Quickly For One Other Member)
"Hm, this is proving harder than anticipated, but I must hurry. Naruto? No he can't take this seriously. Sasuke?… That is not an option. Ino? No… I've never really gotten along with the Yamanaka girl. Chouji… His skills would not be very useful here. Shikamaru's a genius strategist, but our mission is clear save Hinata-sama at all costs. Kiba and Shino would be good but as far as locating the enemy goes I could do that… Plus I think either one of them would be upset if one went and the another did not. Tenten could use the rest, and Lee, well I'm not sure I can take him and his suit in the cold… Who else is there?… Sai… those ink paintings…would that be useful?… He is in Sakura's squad they probably work well together… Alright, Sai it is. I'll tell Hokage-sama…"
(Later)
"Neji!!" she waves at him from the gate, with Sai at her side.
"Thank you both for assisting me on this requested mission" bows.
"Oh! Don't worry about it if there's one thing I don't get enough of is Naruto's comrade rescuing talk!" laughs.
(A Few Days Later, At The Border Of Snow Country)
"Ah! Lady Sakura, Princess Koyuki-sama has requested your presence at the castle."
"Oh, Princess Koyuki! I haven't seen her since I was a genin! Neji you mind if I catch up later, I may be able to get some more information this way."
"Hm, I don't mind, but try to be on your guard and back in two days."
"Sure."
Sai and Neji follow Kiba and Shino's directions to the hotel they stayed at. Where they find something very interesting…
"Hello! Welcome to-" the attendant stopped cold, sort of staring at Neji's trademark eyes.
"Hello, we would like to speak with the manager about a group of guests you had not too long ago." Neji stated, noting the look he was getting.
"A-ah sure! E-excuse me!" she went to the back.
"Her speech reminds me of someone doesn't it Neji-san?"
"Are you trying to be funny?" Neji replied with a glare.
"No, No just commenting the stutter that's all…" grinning
"Why you-!"
"Eh-ahem. You wanted to see me?" the manager said, with the attendant hiding behind him. (very interesting huh?)
Neji felt a twinge of danger in the air around this man, he felt almost like a Shinobi, but he couldn't… No could he possibly be… The Head of the Yukino Clan disguised as commoners in their banished country? Neji wasn't going to take any chances.
"Where is Hinata-sama??" pulling out his kunai and Byakugan glaring.
"Neji! Calm down, you can't pull out a weapon on a commoner!" Sai tried to pull Neji off the manager.
"I can see it… No I can feel it!! Where is she?!" the attendant had actually slipped away unnoticed and the manager began to laugh.
"So you found us out eh? A shame she wouldn't admit that her clan obliterated ours, she just said she was strong and that her Nii-san would come for her…"
"Why you… What did you do with her? Where is she, she's better be fine or I'll…"
"I don't really care what you do to me our clan has finally gotten revenge on yours, using our ultimate poison we have sealed away your heir's bloodline trait, and she will eventually die! Our clan will be known forever as the great Yukino of the Snow Byakugan killers!" maniacal laughter.
"That's impossible…" releases Yukino head and opens Byakugan range, to find Hinata.
"Sai, you take him to the Princess's guards where Sakura is fill her in… I'm going to look for Hinata-sama."
"Alright."
After looking around a bit Neji finally found a small grove with five figures in it, one of which he recognized.
"Hinata-sama!!"
"Oh shoot, he's here! Come on guys get ready for that Byakugan Chief, told us about."
"You, You are all going to pay! Hakke Rokkujuu Yonshou!"
Neji landed in the clearing and fought off one by one Shinobi until they were all down and then made his way to Hinata, completely covered in bruises, cuts , blood flowing from her mouth and bound to a stone. She moved slightly indicating that she was indeed alive, he unchained her carefully. Slowly opening her eyes she said…
"N-Neji-nii-sa- , cough cough." Blood came out.
"Hinata-sama! Don't try to talk I take it you've several severe internal organ injuries. I'm just glad your still alive."
All she could muster was a smile for him while he carried her back to Princess Koyuki's castle.
(At The Castle)
"Sakura, how is she?"
"Hm, how can I put this… The poison they gave her paralyzed the Byakugan and it's eating away at her lungs, she won't be able to breath at all by next month."
"Isn't there anything you can do? Anything I can do?"
"Well right now I'm trying to find out what this stuff is and a cure for it. What you can do is send a messenger falcon to Tsunade-sama of this analysis I've done. But for now I think it best not to move her."
"Alright."
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! This is a bit random and rushed at times but I'm happy how it turned out! I'm enjoying finally getting to let people read my ideas. If anyone wants to do art on deviant from it please do! FYI: My deviant is FuyuKazeHanaHime.
