Naruto: The Forbidden

by Danny vs A Month

When Naruto finally becomes a jounin his bonus training isn't as fun as he had hoped. At least he get's a team full of some of his favorite people. What happens when Kurama makes a dark prediction about Hinata and is proven right? Will Naruto be able to save her before Kurama destroys her? Naruhina and some KonohamaruXHanabi.

2. Naruto: Safety, End, and Discovery

I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. I own The Forbidden and Shikamaru Suzuki. I own Kurama's Dojutsu.

Safety, End, and Discovery

Naruto stood and helped Neji and Konohamaru up.

"I need to get onto its head," Naruto told them.

"That sound vaguely dirty," Konohamaru said. "I'm guessing you intend to try to reach Hinata?"

"Yes," Naruto said.

"I'm going too," Hanabi said. "I'm not letting my sister destroy the world."

"I swear to you that I won't," Naruto said. "But I'm not going to get you three killed. Get out of here. I'll save Hinata and Shion."

"No!" Hanabi said. "I'm coming with you!"

"Maybe he's right Hanabi," Konohamaru said. "Maybe we should let him handle it."

"No!" Hanabi said.

Neji stepped forward and pressed one of Hanabi's chakra points and Hanabi dropped. Konohamaru picked her up then nodded to Naruto and he and Neji took off running at Neji's top speed. Naruto turned back toward The Forbidden. Then he tore off at his top speed. The Forbidden was so big that it was moving faster than him despite barely moving.

After a couple minutes Naruto formed hand seals then jumped and spun around to blast the ground right behind him with a Pressure Damage. The concussion from his sent him flying and he landed on The Forbidden's shoulder. He ran to its snout and stopped in front of one eye.

"HINATA!" Naruto shouted. "WKE UP! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING!?"

"Don't waste your breath shrimp," Kurama said. "Her and Shion don't make up the entire body. Only the core. And the core is in the head."

"How do I get to it?" Naruto asked.

"Nose," Kurama said.

Naruto groaned but ran to the nose anyway then inside. The nostril was big enough for him to stand and still have ten feet above him. He ran into the nose and after a couple seconds he reached a large hollow cavern that was the inside of the head.

"Brainless monster," Naruto said.

Then he looked up and saw a sphere of chakra about the size of an Ultra Big-ball Rasengan. It was see-through so Naruto was able to see both Hinata and Shion in it. They were just sitting on the bottom of the sphere while their chakra was being drained by tentacles that were attached to the sphere and them. Naruto ran up the side of the head cavity and then jumped onto the outside of the sphere. He didn't really care that neither of the girls were wearing clothes because right now he only cared about saving them.

"Is it sound proof?" Naruto asked.

"No," Kurama said.

"Good," Naruto said aloud. "Hinata! Hinata! Wake up! This thing is destroying the world! Do you want to be responsible for the destruction of everyone you hold dear?"

"Naruto?" Hinata asked dazed. "No. Hinata's not here right now. Please call back later."

"Hinata please!" Naruto said. "I know! I know that you love me! I've known for a long time but never said anything because I knew you would tell me when you were ready!"

Hinata blinked and looked up at him then down at herself and blushed furiously while covering herself.

"Where are we?" Hinata asked.

"We're inside of a giant monster that's destroying the world," Naruto said. "It can't be destroyed but I think that if it loses you two it won't have enough power to stay alive."

"Where are my clothes?" Hinata asked.

"I don't think they transformed with you," Naruto said.

"Transformed?" Hinata asked.

"We...transformed?" Shion asked dazed.

"Yes," Naruto said. "The Forbidden is destroying your people."

Shion snapped to attention and looked at the tentacles. Hinata knew what to do so she used gentle fist to sever the tentacles. Once she was free she freed Shion and the sphere vanished. All three of them began to fall but Naruto caught them both and landed on his feet with minimal injury. Then he ran toward the nose but was blocked by a miniature Forbidden.

"Neat," Naruto said setting the women down.

Naruto pulled out his Konoha Chakra blade and charged while using the Flying Swallow technique. He swung at The Forbidden's neck and it stretched it out for him. When the blade made contact, it exploded. Naruto jumped back then charged again and placed his hand on its shoulder and covered it in crystal.

"Much better," Naruto said. "Would you like to do the honor Hinata?"

Hinata walked forward and then kicked the crystal and it shattered with The Forbidden. Then Naruto knelt and Hinata climbed onto his back. Then he picked up Shion and ran out the nose and leapt into the air. Once they were a good enough distance from The Forbidden Naruto began to run on air and headed back toward Shion's palace. He let both women off and Shion took Hinata to the remains of her room to get something to wear. Naruto turned back around and smirked.

"Like the view?" Kurama asked.

"Shut up and kill that thing," Naruto said.

"I don't have the power," Kurama said. "You'll have to use my brother's chakra to make you ultimate Rasengan. That should be strong enough now. Then have him throw you."

"Where is he?" Naruto asked.

Kurama flashed the image of the eight-tailed beast charging at The Forbidden from the left. Naruto moved at his fastest and found the eight-tailed Beast and landed on his back since he was already in eight tails form.

"Hey Gyuki," Naruto said. "Kurama says we need to make a Rasengan with your chakra."

The top half of a human body grew out of Gyuki's back and stared at Naruto for a minute before holding out his hand. Naruto held his hand out as well and a pitch black Rasengan grew between their hands. It was the size of a, Ultra Big-ball Rasengan but was much stronger.

"Now throw me," Naruto said. "And don't miss."

The human body went back into Gyuki and one of the tentacles that served as tail lifted Naruto and threw him at The Forbidden. Naruto held the Rasengan out and grinned.

"Suck it freak!" Naruto shouted as the Rasengan exploded against The Forbidden's head.

When the blast cleared the upper three fourths of The Forbidden were gone and the rest dissolved. Naruto ran on air until he got back to Shion's palace then collapsed. Hinata ran over and began to heal him. After a couple minutes he stood and hugged her before she could react.

"I'm glad you're okay," Naruto said.

Hinata hugged him back and didn't say anything. After a minute they pulled away when the others got there.

"This is horrible," Shion said. "I destroyed my entire country!"

"No," Naruto said. "Just most of it. I'm sure you'll be able to rebuild. If not, the Leaf is always happy to help an ally in need."

"That's true," Hinata said.

"Thank you for saving me," Shion said. "Now, the reason I originally brought you here was that there was a village about five miles south of here that trains shinobi and I thought the Leaf would be interested to meet them."

"We'll see if it's still standing," Naruto said. "Good luck rebuilding."

"Thank you," Shion said.

Naruto and the others left but had to stop to make camp shortly after heading out. Naruto set up most of it then Hinata convinced him to lay down and let her finish healing him. Once she was done he sat up and decided to speak with Kurama.

"Be back in a minute or two," Naruto said.

With that he disappeared and reappeared in front of Kurama.

"Well?" Naruto asked.

"Very good," Kurama said. "Because you saved the girls instead of killing them, you may have stopped the cycle. Only time will tell."

"Anything else you want to say?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Kurama said. "How was the view?"

"Pervert," Naruto said.

"What?" Kurama asked. "Wait, you don't like boys do you?"

"Good God no," Naruto said.

"Thank God for that," Kurama said. "I think I would let the Akatsuki have me if my container was a boy that had a thing for boys."

"What if it was a girl that had a thing for girls?" Naruto asked.

"Mmm," Kurama said licking his lips.

"Pervert," Naruto said.

"You can't deny that you would love to watch it too," Kurama said.

"Like I said," Naruto said. "Pervert."

"I know I am but what are you?" Kurama asked in a mocking tone.

Naruto simply shook his head and returned to the camp sight. What he saw, wasn't what he had been expecting. The sight was in ruins. The tents had been burned, the fireplace had been destroyed and no one was in sight.

"Hinata?" Naruto called. "Konohamaru? Neji? Hanabi? Somebody?"

Just then a shinobi dropped out of a tree and smashed him on the head with a frying pan. When Naruto woke up he groaned from the pain in his head and realized he was blindfolded.

"Perfect," Naruto said.

"Is that you Naruto?" Hinata asked.

"You tell me Hinata," Naruto said in relief. "What happened while I was away?"

"Some shinobi attacked our camp and destroyed it then took us hostage," Hinata said.

"Great," Naruto said.

"Naruto," Hinata said. "There's something else."

"What?" Naruto asked.

"You know that picture Kakashi has of being with his old team?" Hinata asked.

"Yes," Naruto said.

"Well I just saw the young him from that picture," Hinata said. "He's one of the shinobi here."

"Cool," Naruto said. "I'm finally older than Kakashi."

"This isn't a joke Naruto," Hinata said.

Just then their blindfolds were removed and they both squinted from the sun then looked around. They were tied to a post and the others were tied to other posts. The others were still blind folded and Naruto could see that they were out cold.

"Why are you here Leaf Ninja?" asked a kid that actually was the spitting image of Kakashi before he had gotten his Sharingan.

He even had the same outfit. The only difference was that he had a pair of goggles that looked like the ones Kakashi's friend Obito Uchiha had worn.

"Wow," Naruto said. "What's your name?"

"Shikamaru Suzuki," Shikamaru said.

"Suzuki?" Naruto asked. "Your mother wouldn't happen to be...Hanare Suzuki, would she?"

"How do you know my mother's name?" Shikamaru asked.

"I thought so," Naruto said. "I met her once. I met your father too. You look just like he used too."

"He's not my father!" Shikamaru said. "That man tried to get my mother killed!"

"Does your mother feel the same way?" Naruto asked.

"No," Shikamaru said. "She says that he's a good man and was just doing his job. But she doesn't understand that family should be more important than your job!"

"I agree," Naruto said. "But his job wasn't to get your mother killed. It was to find out why she was in the village. I know because me and a couple of my friends followed him when he was doing his job and mistook it for them being a couple. Probably because they were."

"I don't care," Shikamaru said. "You're dodging my question. Why are you all here?"

"Because Priestess Shion requested we come and then a couple of things happened and we had to fight the monster that you couldn't have missed," Naruto said. "Then Shion told us about this village and we wanted to see if it was possible to make an ally out of it."

"It's not!" Shikamaru said.

"Shikamaru!" Hanare shouted walking out of her house. "Untie them right now!"

"Oh, mom," Shikamaru whined.

"No!" Hanare said.

"Listen to your mom kid," Naruto said grinning.

Shikamaru untied all of them and then glared at Naruto.

"This isn't over," Shikamaru said.

Hanare let them all into her house and they all thanked her. She led them to the living room and then got them something to drink.

"I'm sorry about my son," Hanare said. "He means well. He just wants what's for...the...village. Naruto?"

"Hey Hanare," Naruto said. "Been a while."

"You grew!" Hanare said. "I barely recognized you! How's Kakashi?"

"He's good," Naruto said.

"Does he...ever mention me?" Hanare asked.

"He doesn't really talk much at all except to boss me around," Naruto said. "Not around me at least. Sorry."

"That's okay," Hanare said. "Again, I'm sorry about Shikamaru. He just wants to protect the village. We've been plagued with undead for days now. We've lost a lot of people and one of them was Shikamaru's...significant other."

"How significant?" Naruto asked.

Hanare blushed bright red and Naruto grinned.

"She...um...well..." Hanare struggled to find a way to say it politely.

"How would you describe their conversations?" Naruto asked.

"Loud," Hanare said. "And...athletic."

Naruto's grin grew and Shikamaru blushed and avoided eye contact.

"What was her name kid?" Hanabi asked.

Shikamaru glared at her then his glare faded and his face grew steadily redder causing everyone in the room to have to restrain a laugh. Everyone except Neji who was less than impressed.

"Watch it squirt," Neji said.

"You watch it Neji," Naruto said. "Kid already beat you once."

"Her name was Yoshi Michiko," Shikamaru said.

"I'm sorry you lost someone you cared about," Naruto said. "Where do the undead come from?"

"South," Shikamaru said. "I've been there and can show you."

"Deal," Naruto said. "On one condition. If we do this, your village has to sign a peace treaty with Konohagakure."

"Deal," Hanare said. "I'll convince the elder while you do it."

Naruto nodded and they all left the village. They began to head north and stopped when it got dark. After Naruto set up the camp he remembered that Hinata had promised to teach him Medical Ninjutsu. She seemed to sense the fact that he remembered because she nodded to him and they left the camp.

They went to a clearing and Hinata pulled out a summon scroll and summoned the same dead fish that every Medical Ninja learned with. She showed Naruto how to actually use Medical Ninjutsu and he picked it up quickly. Within minutes he had gotten as far as Hinata.

"Wow," Hinata said. "I've never seen someone as good with Medical Ninjutsu as you."

"I aim to please," Naruto said.

"Oh I bet you do," Kurama said.

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled at him.

"You okay?" Hinata asked.

"Yes," Naruto said just thinking.

"You've been avoiding it," Hinata said.

"So have you," Naruto said knowing full well what she meant.

"Okay," Hinata said. "How did you figure it out?"

"You're transparent," Naruto said. "I'm not as slow or clueless as everyone thinks."

"Then, when Shion asked you to help her pass on her powers to the next Priestess..." Hinata trailed off.

"I knew what she meant but had to pretend to be clueless so that know one figured out just how quick I am," Naruto asked.

"How quick are you?" Hinata asked.

"The undead are being controlled by a demon," Naruto said. "It is likely either a desire demon or a rage demon. When we get there, if it turns out to be a desire demon, I'm the only one that will be immune to its power. If it's a rage demon, you are the only one that will be immune."

"Why would you be immune to the desire demon?" Hinata asked.

"Two reasons," Naruto said.

"Are you sure?" Kurama asked. "What if she hates you for it?"

"Then so be it," Naruto said. "She deserves to know."

"The first reason is that I have you," Naruto said and Hinata blushed and smiled.

"And the second?" Hinata asked.

"What do you know about the nine-tailed fox?" Naruto asked.

"I know that it attacked the village years ago and nearly destroyed it but the Fourth Hokage saved the village by sealing it away," Hinata said. "At the cost of his own life."

"Do you know where he sealed it?" Naruto asked.

"I assumed inside himself so that it would die with him," Hinata said.

"Well you're close," Naruto said. "A lot closer than I expected. He sealed it inside of his son. Then he son was seen as the demon inside of him instead of as a human. He was treated as an outcast and everyone wanted him dead so the Third Hokage made a law that no one was allowed to speak of the nine-tailed fox, even with family."

"What are you saying?" Hinata asked.

"I am the Jinchuriki of the nine-tailed fox," Naruto said.

"You're the Fourth Hokage's son?" Hinata asked. "That's awesome! You would make an awesome Hokage! And rightfully you deserve to be one!"

"Really?" Naruto asked. "That's the first thing you catch onto? Me being the Fourth Hokage's son?"

"No," Hinata said. "That's just the only thing I care about."

With that she leaned forward and kissed him. He kissed her back and wrapped his hands around her waist.

"Do it!" Kurama said. "Do it NOW!"

"SHUT UP!" Naruto shouted.

After a second he pulled away and sighed.

"Do you stand in the shadows and watch everyone kiss Neji?" Naruto said.

"No," Neji said. "I was going to ask for your help with a certain...problem."

Naruto had some idea what the problem was.

"Hinata stay here," Naruto said.

"Right," Hinata said.

Before he left Naruto placed his hand on her shoulder and made the Seal of Confrontation Hinata felt her arm tingle then it stopped and Naruto began to walk away. Once he and Neji were out of sight she pulled her jacket down until she could see her shoulder. There was a seal formula where Naruto had placed his hand and she instantly recognized it. It was the seal formula for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When Naruto and Neji got back to the camp Naruto's theory was proved correct. There was an empty bottle of red wine laying next to the log that Konohamaru and Hanabi were sitting on. It was right next to their outer clothes.

"KONOHAMARU!" Naruto shouted. "WHT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?"

"Oh...uh...hey Naruto," Konohamaru said pulling away and trying to act like nothing had happened despite the fact that they were only in their undergarments.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Naruto asked Shikamaru.

"I was enjoying the show," Shikamaru said. "I would have gladly taken his place if I thought he would have let me."

"Damn right!" Kurama said.

"Nobody asked you!" Naruto snapped.

"Shikamaru," Naruto said restraining his anger. "The first thing you should learn is that it is very wise to watch your mouth around me and even more so around Neji given how much pain he could inflict on you. The second, is that if you don't you will regret it. Just ask Konohamaru what I'm going to have to do to him now."

"Wha-" Konohamaru began. "No! I kept my word! I was respectful around the Priestess!"

"I didn't say only the Priestess did I?" Naruto asked.

"But-" Konohamaru began.

"No buts!" Naruto said. "Neither one of you is the legal age and if Hiashi heard that you did this, even after the legal age, you have no idea how much trouble you would be in. There would be nowhere in Heaven or Hell that could shield you from his wrath."

"I'm sorry!" Konohamaru said on the verge of tears as Naruto drew his Chakra Blade.

"Naruto stop!" Hinata said.

They all turned around and saw that she was covering her eyes.

"Put some clothes on you two," Naruto said.

They both did and Hinata uncovered her eyes.

"Don't hurt him Naruto," Hinata said. "Give him another chance. If he tries anything again, I'll personally punish him."

"Sure," Naruto said then leaned in to whisper to her. "I wasn't going to hurt him. Only scare him enough to make sure he wouldn't do it again."

Hinata smirked and nodded. Then she began to follow Naruto when Hanabi decided to speak up.

"It wasn't his fault," Hanabi said. "I convinced him to drink the whole bottle. It was my fault, please don't punish him."

"We won't this time," Naruto said. "Konohamaru, never drink again."

"I won't," Konohamaru swore.

"Is it okay if we date?" Hanabi asked.

Hinata smirked at Naruto and he smiled back.

"I guess we can allow that," Naruto said.

Hanabi sighed in relief and Hinata smiled while she and Naruto walked.

"Thank you," Hinata said.

"Of course," Naruto said. "You're not the only one that knew they would be together."

Hinata smiled and they reached a river. Naruto crystallized the top like he had the first time he had gone to visit Kurama the first time. He sat in Lotus Position on top and Hinata stood just on shore.

"You coming?" Naruto asked. "It's time for you to meet the guy that I argue with constantly."

"What about?" Hinata asked.

"You'll see," Naruto said.

Hinata walked over and sat next to him. He took a breath and a moment later they were inside Naruto's head.

"Well hello beautiful," Kurama said. "Now I can see why he puts up with you. Even for all you cowardice, shyness, and your inability to mask you emotions, he still manages to enjoy your company. Now I see that that's only because it's not just your company he's enjoying."

"You're a pig," Hinata said. "Now I see why Naruto hates you so much. For all your hatred, evil, and malice, you're also disgusting, perverted, and offensive."

Kurama was less than pleased.

"You can't move," Kurama said. "I can. I believe I'm going to enjoy this."

Kurama stood and began to unbuckle his belt.

"Goodbye Hinata," Naruto said snapping his fingers.

Hinata disappeared and Naruto quickly followed her. They both opened their eyes on the crystal.

"Now do you see why I was afraid to tell you about him?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Hinata said. "And while I don't hate you, I do hate him."

"Well," Naruto said. "We've got some time before we have to go to sleep. Why don't we spar?"

"I can't beat you," Hinata said.

"I think you'd be surprised," Naruto said.

"Don't go easy on me," Hinata said.

"Don't kill me," Naruto said.

Hinata smiled and they began to fight. Hinata was fast and managed to keep Naruto on the defensive most of the time since he knew that a direct from her gentle fist would be enough to kill him. Naruto attacked every once in a while but Hinata was able to dodge them. Naruto wasn't using his full speed of course so he sped up a bit and Hinata quickly began to transition to the defensive. After a few minutes he began simultaniously blocking his attacks and trying to hit his arms with gentle fist at the same time. Naruto noticed and made his attacks faster so that he wouldn't get injured. After a couple minutes he backed off and let Hinata attack him. When she was within range he quickly puled out a kunai and pressed the ring against her stomach while at the same time she landed a direct hit to his heart.

"Tie," Naruto said.

Hinata looked down and saw the kunai and was both happy that Naruto had made it a tie instead of simply beating her and also scared because he might die because of her. Hinata began to heal him and after a minute he sighed and smiled at her.

"Thanks," Naruto said.

"You shouldn't have done that," Hinata said.

"I trusted your abilities in Medical Ninjutsu," Naruto said sitting up.

"Naruto," Neji said. "We can see the army."

Naruto had nearly forgotten that the undead attacked at night. They all ran to the camp and saw a sea of mutilated human bodies in various stages of decay marching toward the village. There were torches scattered throughout the army and all of the creatures had weapons of some kind.

"How fast are they?" Naruto asked.

"Not very,"Shikamaru said. "They make up for their speed with their numbers."

Naruto pulled out his Chakra Blades and charged. Hinata was right behind him and the others were a short distance behind her. After a couple more seconds, the ninja crashed into the side of the army and began to tear it apart. Gentle fist was very effective but was out shined by blades. After a couple seconds, Naruto gave his blades to Hinata then began to use his Kekkei Genkai to fight. Hinata was almost more skilled with a blade than she was with her Gentle Fist. It just got better when she realized that she could do both at the same time with Chakra Blades.

After five minutes the army turned around and began to retreat but Naruto and the others decided to finish them off anyway. Once they were done Naruto looked where they were heading and saw the mouth of a cave.

"Found it," Naruto said. "In there."

"Any idea what it is?" Kurama asked.

"Desire demon or rage demon," Naruto said. "If it's a desire demon, try to keep my head straight."

"Gladly," Kurama said.

Naruto led them in and split them into two man teams. Hinata chose to go with him before he had even reached them. Neji went with Shikamaru.

"Let's get this over with," Neji said.

They all went into the cave and found three paths. Each team took a path and no one found the demon but they did hear both a demonic male voice, and a very seductive female voice laughing somewhere in the cave.

"Can you pinpoint them Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"No," Hinata said. "They may not have any chakra. If they don't, I won't be able to see them any better than you."

"Well hello sexy," the female voice said.

"You like girls?" Naruto asked the voice.

"I was actually referring to you but if you want I can let you watch me take your girlfriend's virginity before I kill you," the voice said.

"So you're a desire demon," Naruto said.

"Yes," the female voice said. "I can sense your desire. You desire the strength to save your friend and protect those you love. You desire attention and acceptance. You desire to be free of a curse that has plagued you your entire life. But most of all, you desire-"

"NOW!" Naruto shouted to Kurama.

Kurama took control of Naruto's body and easily pinpointed the desire demon. Then he used Naruto's body to punch her and send her flying a hundred feet then pass through the wall and continue. Naruto retook control and smirked.

"Now for the rage demon," Naruto said.

He and Naruto followed the path some more and after a little while they reached a fork in the road. They nodded to each other and went in opposite directions. After about five minutes Naruto felt Kurama begin to growl and thrash against his cage despite the pain it caused him.

"LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT NOW!" Kurama shouted.

"SHUT UP KURAMA!" Naruto shouted back.

After a moment he realized that he was feeling angrier than normal. His forced his thoughts to focus on Hinata and his anger dissipated instantly. The moment it did, a shadow appeared on the wall and turned red then came off the wall and formed a humanoid with red skin and foot long claws.

"HOW!?" The rage demon shouted. "HOW CAN YOU RESIST MY INFLUENCE!?"

Naruto encased the demon in crystal and then grinned. A bone spike grew out of his hand and he grinned seeing that it was still sharpened from the last time he had used it. He drove the spike through the crystal then ripped it upward and the crystal exploded taking the demon with it.

"One down," Naruto said. "Wonder if Hinata's found the desire demon yet."

Just then he turned around and saw Hinata. She was only wearing her bra and panties. Naruto's jaw hit the floor and Kurama was the only reason he came out of his shock.

"Something's wrong," Kurama said. "She means to kill us."

"Hinata would never do that," Naruto said.

"That's not Hinata!" Kurama said. "Flex your right palm, NOW!"

Naruto did as instructed and a painfully white light flashed out and blinded him. He heard both Hinata and the desire demon's voices screaming in pain. Then Hinata's stopped screaming.

"What was that?" Naruto asked.

"That was a Demon Purge," Kurama said. "It sends a demon a hundred yards away. I set it to full auto so if you get in a pinch with a demon, just flex your palm and it'll shoot off."

When Naruto's sight returned, he looked around and saw Hinata laying on the floor. He healed her and she thanked him then stood and looked around. They went back to the fork then down Hinata's path and soon found themselves in a huge empty cavern. Hinata's clothes were laying in the middle of the room. Naruto walked into the middle of the room and retrieved her clothes for her. The moment he touched them he felt Kurama start making yipping sounds.

"Let me guess," Naruto said. "She's inside of me."

"Yip!" Kurama answered.

"Okay," Naruto said walking back over to Hinata.

He handed her clothes to her and he could tell that the demon stayed inside of him. He grinned and sat against the cave wall with a happy grin on his face. Inside his head he was actually fighting for control. The demon was strong and was beginning to win. After a couple seconds it gained more leverage by filtering very dirty pictures into his brain, all of which were of him, Hinata, and sometimes Hanabi. The images were being displayed on the same kind of mirrors that Shion had watched Naruto's dream in. Naruto was bound in place by Chakra Chains and and couldn't look anywhere without seeing the images and couldn't close his eyes because the images then played like a home movie.

"Enough," Naruto growled as he stood and the Chakra Chains exploded.

"Impossible!" the desire demon said when she saw Naruto breaking free.

Naruto clapped and all of the images exploded. Then he made one mirror that had something of a video footage playing. That video footage was of him and Hinata sitting on top of Hokage Mountain enjoying each other's company.

"What is this?" the desire demon asked. "At least make it so you're both nude."

"I don't think so," Naruto said. "Now it's my turn."

Five Chakra Chains shout out of his back and into the ground then came out on all sides of the desire demon and held her down. With that done, Naruto walked over and pulled the bones out of his left arm and made them into a sword. Then he drove the sword through the desire demon's heart and ripped upward splattering demon blood all over the floor. Then he put his bones back into his arm through the same hole and healed the hole.

"Shouldn't that happen automatically?" Kurama asked.

"If I had mastered that one yes," Naruto said. "I have mastered it too. It just feels weird to feel my bones growing back."

"Make a set of Chakra Blades for yourself out of bone and let your bones regrow," Kurama said. "Use that ability to its fullest."

Naruto went back to the real world and sighed.

"Finally over," Naruto said.

"Well done," Hinata said.

Naruto saw that she had gotten dress and smiled. Then he stood and they left the cave and met up with the others outside.

"What took you so long?" Neji asked.

"We had to fight both demons, thank you very much," Naruto said. "What did you guys do?"

"We fought another army of undead," Neji said.

"Well goody goody for you," Naruto said. "I...you know what, never mind."

"You got...up close and personal with the desire demon didn't you?" Shikamaru asked.

"No," Naruto said growing bone spikes all over his body. "I did give her a porcupine hug though. Want one?"

Naruto began walking toward Shikamaru while copying Sai and Yamato's signature creepy stare. Shikamaru visibly shivered and began running away. After a second Naruto retracted his bones and they all began to laugh. Shikamaru was the only one that didn't find it funny.

"Can we go back to my village now?" Shikamaru asked.

"Sure," Naruto said. "Ladies first."

Hinata and Hanabi took the lead but the other four didn't move a muscle.

"That means you too Shikamaru," Neji said.

"I'M NOT A GIRL!" Shikamaru shouted.

"You can't hide anything from the Byakugan kid," Naruto said. "Just fess up and get marching."

Shikamaru glared at Naruto then sighed and started walking.

"You realize, of course, that that also means that she's gay," Neji said quietly to Naruto.

"I HEARD THAT!" Shikamaru shouted.

The three guys laughed and began walking after the others. After a couple minutes Naruto could help but make a comment.

"So Neji," Naruto said. "Did you guys do anything but fight undead in there?"

He took a step back as Neji's fist passed through where his head had been. Neji tried to attack some more but Naruto kneed him in the stomach and knocked him unconscious.

"Nice," Konohamaru said.

Naruto and Konohamaru caught up with the others in time to hear Hanabi freaking out about a girl flirting with her.

"This is why I pretend to be a boy," Shikamaru said. "And why I changed my name."

"What was your original name?" Naruto asked.

"Tenshi," Shikamaru said.

"Well, Tenshi is a much better name," Hinata said. "And I think you would have more luck if you would flirt with girls that aren't dating boys."

"Gee, why didn't I think of that?" Tenshi said sarcastically.

Naruto suddenly held his hand up and two bone trench knives like the chakra blades he had given Hinata grew out. He finished pulling them out and his skin healed while the bones regenerated. As soon as they were done he shook his hand so it would go back to feeling normal.

"Don't hurt her Naruto," Hinata said.

"What?" Naruto asked. "Oh, no no. I was just making an improved version of the blades I gave you."

"Oh," Hinata said. "Do you want yours back?"

"Keep them," Naruto said. "I've got better ones now."

Hinata nodded and put the knives in her back pouch and after a little while they stopped to make camp.

"I'm going to bed," Tenshi said. "I haven't slept in days."

"Thank God," Naruto said. "I was afraid we were going to have to listen to her mouth all night."

About three minutes later Tenshi began snoring loudly. Naruto groaned and the others all laughed.

"You asked for that," Hinata said.

"You wanna go?" Naruto asked.

"Your way or his?" Hinata asked.

"NARUTO!" A very familiar and not entirely welcomed voice said.

Naruto gulped and said, "Hey Sakura."

They all turned around and Sakura glared at him.

"What did I do this time?" Naruto asked.

"You see me as your friend don't you?" Sakura suddenly asked grinning evilly.

Naruto raised one eyebrow and flexed his right palm. A blinding white light once again flashed out and they all heard something screaming but it didn't sound like anything they had ever heard. When the light cleared and their vision recovered Sakura was gone and only a pile of ashes was left.

"You killed her," Hinata said.

"No," Naruto said. "I purged a demon."

Just then a giant back human foot slammed down next to them and Naruto paled visibly.

"Thank you for showing me you greatest fear," the demon said as Naruto looked up and saw The Forbidden's body. "I love my new power."

Naruto leapt onto it snout and pressed his hand against its eye ball then flexed his palm again. This time it shrieked and when it vanished, so did Naruto. A moment or two later he reappeared beside Hinata.

"So that's what it's for," Hinata said.

"What did you think it was for?" Naruto asked.

"Looks," Hinata said.

"Yes because I would see it so often without acting like Ku...uh...him," Naruto said.

"You mean Kurama?" Hanabi asked.

"How the hell do you know about him?" Naruto asked.

"Byakugan," Hanabi said. "Works wonders."

"Who's Kurama?" Konohamaru asked.

"No one," Naruto said. "Hanabi...put these on."

Naruto slid the leg weights he had trained with to Hanabi. She put them on and began skipping around with ease.

"You're not the only one that trained with Lee," Hanabi said.

"Then give them to Hinata," Naruto said.

Hanabi did as instructed and Naruto tossed the heavier ones to Neji. Neji had enough sense to dodge them and then put them on and began struggling to walk around. Hinata moved somewhat easier than Naruto had but was still struggling. After a couple hours of Naruto training them they took the weights off and everyone went to bed. Naruto stayed up to take watch and also because there wasn't a tent for him. Konohamaru and Hanabi were sharing a tent so Naruto had forced them to leave the lamp on so they wouldn't be able to do anything. Neji and Tenshi both had their own tents and so did Hinata. That meant that either he would have to share, or he would have to not sleep. He was just fine with the second one. He sighed and yawned. Then he pulled out one of Sakura's food pills. They tasted terrible but they were amazing at keeping him awake.

"Ugh gross!" Naruto said after stuffing one hole into his mouth. "Sakura really needs to learn how to cook."

He looked around and didn't see anything but he knew that there could literally be any number of things waiting to kill them once he was asleep. He yawned again and found his eyes beginning to close.

"Oh come on," Naruto said. "I ate the stupid food pill."

"Sloth demon!" Kurama shouted.

Naruto flexed his palm and prayed the others wouldn't wake up. The moment his vision returned he wasn't tired anymore. Unfortunately he could hear Kurama snoring loudly.

"You're useless," Naruto said appearing in Kurama's cave to see a gigantic sloth hanging from the top of the cage over the giant sleeping fox. "Wow, Naruto said. "Awfully big ain't ya'?"

"Hello Naruto," the sloth demon said. "You look tired. You should reeeesssst."

His words were slow and drawn out and monotone. He drew out the word rest and when he finished just the sound of his voice was enough to put Naruto to sleep. The fact that he used his power just succeeded in sending Naruto into Kurama's cage in his sleep like he usually did anyway.

"What the HELL!?" the sloth demon said when Naruto appeared next to his own body.

"I always visit Kurama when I sleep," Naruto said. "You just wasted you best chance and only succeeded in putting me right back where I started."

The sloth began to radiate darkness then vanished and a boy about Naruto's age appeared in front of Naruto. This boy was about five foot five and a half with short, light brown hair in the same stile as Naruto's and black eyes. Not just the irises, his entire eye was pitch black. He had muscles that would make Might Guy jealous. He had two four foot long bone spikes extending from his shoulder blades then curving upward, two three foot long bone spikes extending straight out from his third ribs from the top, two extending straight out from his sixth ribs from the top, and two extending from his second ribs from the bottom then curving downward. Each spike was about two inches in diameter and was sharper than anything Naruto had seen short of his own bone weapons. Naruto also noticed bone claws on the boy's fingers and his teeth were unnaturally long.

"You have Shikotsumyaku as well," Naruto noted.

"Yes," the boy said. "It's my second favorite ability."

"What's your first?" Naruto asked.

Just then the boy appeared behind Naruto with a kunai up to his throat.

"Perfected Thunder God Technique," the boy said. "I had the seal formula imprinted on my eyes so now I can teleport where ever I want so long as it's in view."

"Neat trick," Naruto said. "Only one draw back."

"What's that?" the boy asked.

Just then thousands of the seal Formulas appeared all over the inside of the cage and even Kurama.

"I own this place," Naruto said before vanishing.

A moment later his own kunai was at the boy's throat.

"Now," Naruto said. "You got a name?"

"Sloth," the boy said disappearing and reappearing on Kurama's back.

"Like I said," Naruto said appearing behind Sloth again. "I own this place. This is going to take a while if you want to fight this way."

"True," Sloth said.

Just then the spikes on his back shot out at Naruto but Naruto teleported to the far side of the cage. Sloth followed on foot and Naruto pulled out his Chakra Blades and charged. After a second they met and Naruto clashed his Chakra Blades against Sloth's claws. After a moment he pushed back and both began to use the Flying Swallow technique and Sloth began to swing as fast as he could. Naruto stayed just out of Sloth's range and after a second he swung and after Sloth dodged it, he teleported behind him and swung again but Sloth teleported away from him again.

"Nice try," Sloth said.

Naruto charged again and so did Sloth. After a second or two of them reached each other and began to fight again. Naruto kicked both of Sloth's hands away and began swinging at him with blinding speed, and while Sloth was focused on avoiding the Chakra Blade, Naruto teleported behind him mid swing and cut him in half the long way. Sloth dropped dead and Kurama stirred.

"What did I miss?" Kurama asked.

"I killed the Sloth demon," Naruto said.

"Nice job," Kurama said looking around and then at himself. "Why is this seal formula everywhere?"

"I went a little overboard on using the Flying Thunder God technique," Naruto said. "He had another version of it. He could go anywhere he could see because he had the seal imprinted on his eyes."

"You want me to do that with you?" Kurama asked.

"I'm good," Naruto said. "See you later."

Naruto woke up and stood then went back to the real world and found that it was still only around eleven at night. Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes and heard someone walking up behind him. He turned around and was expecting a fight but it was just Hinata.

"Go get some rest," Hinata said. "I'll take watch."

"No," Naruto said. "You need the rest."

"So don't you," Hinata said. "Come on. You can have my tent."

"No," Naruto said. "You need your sleep."

"This is going nowhere," Hinata said.

She walked over and immobilized Naruto then carried him into her tent and covered him with the blanket. Just as she was about to leave she felt someone grab her hand. When she turned back and saw that Naruto had already regained his ability to move.

"Stay," Naruto said. "If I have to sleep so do you."

Hinata smiled and sighed. Naruto scooted over and lifted the blanket. She laid next to him and he laid the blanket over her. She snuggled up to his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. Within seconds both were asleep.

Inside his tent, Neji smiled. He would never have admitted it but he was happy they were finally together. He had been on the verge of beating the tar out of Naruto for being clueless and not seeing that Hinata was completely in love with him. Finally Naruto had shown how quick he really was and now Neji was finding it rather hard to hide his emotions about Naruto and Hinata's relationship. He turned his Byakugan on his other sister and nearly shouted in rage. Konohamaru and Hanabi were both in their underwear kissing. Neji could tell that they hadn't gone any further than that because both had their hands clasped behind their own backs. After another moment they both stopped and fell asleep and Neji managed to calm down.

"That was close Konohamaru," Neji whispered. "I almost had to tell Naruto."

Neji laid down and deactivated his Byakugan then closed his eyes and went to sleep. The next day Naruto was the first awake and teleported to a seal formula he had placed on the log he had been sitting on the night before. He looked around and saw that there was still no one around. A few minutes later Hanabi woke up and managed to get out of her tent after dressing without waking Konohamaru.

"Good morning," Naruto said. "How was your night?"

"Um...fine," Hanabi said sitting across from him and staring at the empty fire place.

"What time did you two stop kissing and start sleeping?" Naruto asked.

"So you noticed huh?" Hanabi asked. "Not long after you and Hinata went to bed. Are you going to discipline him?"

"No," Naruto said. "I know you didn't actually do anything. Even if you had I would just let Neji and Hiashi discipline him. My anger couldn't even begin to compare to theirs."

"You were never angry with him were you?" Hanabi asked.

"About you no," Naruto said. "About Shion, yes. With you I was just trying to keep him from having to deal with Hiashi's temper."

"Thank you," Hanabi said. "I can see why my sister likes you so much. I see a lot of the same traits in Konohamaru."

"You should," Naruto said. "He acts just like a younger me."

Hanabi grinned and said, "I guess low standards run in the family then."

Naruto also grinned and Tenshi came out of her tent.

"Morning Tenshi," Naruto said. "Excited to see your home?"

Tenshi silently walked over and sat on the only one person log.

"Okay then," Naruto said as Hinata and Neji exited their tents.

"Morning," Hanabi said cheerfully.

"I trust you enjoyed you night," Neji said.

"Don't waste your breath," Naruto said. "I already warned her against telling Hiashi for a long while."

"She had better listen and keep her clothes on from here on out or there'll be Hell to pay," Neji said.

"She will," Naruto said. "How did you sleep Hinata?"

"Fine," Hinata said. "You?"

Naruto shrugged and looked at the horizon so she didn't see him grin while she took it to mean he didn't care one way or another. She sat on his left side and Naruto grinned further. He couldn't help himself but slip back into his old pranks. He was thankful that both Neji and Hanabi were on the opposite side of Hinata.

"Hey Hanabi," Naruto said winking to both Hanabi and Neji. "Wanna go do that thing?"

"Wha-" Hanabi asked before catching on. "Oohh, sure why not?"

She and Naruto stood and began walking into the trees and Hanabi couldn't help but join in the prank and slipped her hand into Naruto's while they walked earning a glare from both Neji and Naruto.

"This aught ta be good," Tenshi said grinning.

"Shh," Neji said.

After a couple second Hanabi groaned loudly and Hinata instantly dropped her mind in the gutter and blushed. They could all hear Naruto and Hanabi's conversation but that was all part of the plan.

"Wow, Hanabi," Naruto said. "You're one heck of a dirty girl. Maybe we should just stop and head back. Wouldn't want Konohamaru getting jealous. Plus I don't think you can handle this."

"Oh please," Hanabi said. "I can take it all! Fill me up!"

Hinata instantly stood along with Neji and sprinted through the trees to the clearing Naruto and Hanabi had gone to. They both stopped dead in their tracks and Neji could barely restrain a grin.

Hanabi was standing in the middle of the clearing and had a flat board strapped to her back. She was covered in soot and was filthy and sweating. She was bent over so that the board was flat and could barely stand. The reason behind her struggling was the mountain of soot on top of the board. Naruto was shoveling more and more onto the pile and Hanabi was about to collapse but there wasn't much left.

"Not bad Hanabi," Naruto said. "You can take more than Konohamaru."

"Naruto?" Hinata asked.

"Hey Hinata," Naruto said. "What are you doing here?"

"You...and she...but you were...you said...and then she said...I thought..." Hinata was having trouble processing what was happening but Naruto finally took pity on her and grinned.

"I know what you thought," Naruto said. "This is a form of training Jiraiya put me through every day. We said exactly what we did to see if you had as dirty a mind as your sister thought."

"Quit talking and fill me up!" Hanabi said.

"Alright holy," Naruto said. "Have a little patience."

Hinata blushed at Hanabi's choice of words but the blush faded when Naruto simply finished putting the last of the soot onto the board. Hinata could tell that there was easily two hundred pounds on there. The moment the last of it was on Hanabi collapsed and would have been crushed if Naruto hadn't used a Beast Wave Gale Palm to clear most of the soot before it landed on her. She stood and brushed some of the soot off then sighed and grinned.

"Don't even think about it," Naruto said.

"Hey Naruto," Hanabi said in a very suggestive tone that made Hinata blush furiously. "Give me a hug."

Naruto turned and began to run away with Hanabi less than a foot behind him at all times. After a couple seconds she tackled him and rubbed her body all over his until he was almost as dirty as she was.

"Hee hee," Hanabi said. "You need to take a bath Naruto."

"Have you looked in the mirror lately?" Naruto asked.

He sat up and sighed then stood and used a second Beast Wave Gale Palm to dust himself off. Hanabi glared at him for a moment then went to the river to get cleaned up. Naruto was the only one that noticed the slight blush on her face.

"Please don't try anything like that again," Hinata said.

"I'm sorry," Naruto said walking over and hugging her. "It was honestly just a joke. I would never do something like that to you."

Hinata nodded and hugged him back and after a couple minutes they headed back to camp and found it already packed up.

"How did the soot training go?" Tenshi asked.

"How did you know that's what it was?" Naruto asked.

"I've done it," Tenshi said. "It took me a hole week to be able to carry all of it."

"A week," Naruto said. "And you feel that's a bad thing."

"How long did it take you?" Tenshi asked.

"A month," Naruto said.

"That sucks," Tenshi said.

Konohamaru walked out of the trees and yawned, and a couple minutes later, Hanabi got back so they all began heading back to Tenshi's village. They arrived about an hour later and found all of the shinobi waiting along with Hanare.

"Come on Shikamaru," Hanare said. "It's time for breakfast. As for the rest of you, your services are no longer required."

Naruto stepped forward and grew bone spikes all over his body. The shinobi all got a little restless and Hanare paled.

"Shikamaru, let's go," Hanare said.

Tenshi suddenly coughed up a small metallic ball with several flashing lights and crushed it.

"The name's Tenshi mom," Tenshi said with her normal female voice.

"You dare question me?" Hanare asked. "After all I did for you?"

"What did you do for me other than make me think that it was a bad thing for me to be who I was?" Tenshi asked.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!" Hanare shouted pulling out a kunai.

"Enough, Hanare," Kakashi said appearing between Hanare and Tenshi. "That's quite enough. Tenshi is her own person and will be treated as such...in Konoha."

"I don't think so," Hanare said. "Just because you're her father doesn't give you the right to take her from me."

"I'm not," Kakashi said. "I'm relieving her of you."

Kakashi puled his forehead protector up then created his Chidori and charged at Hanare. Before he could get there Naruto made several Hand signs and placed his hands on the ground.

"Dance of the Seeding Fern!" Naruto said.

Bone spikes began to grow out of the ground too fast to avoid but Naruto was able to control it and made a trail that passed between Kakashi and Hanare.

"What are you doing Naruto?" Kakashi asked.

"She doesn't have to die," Naruto said. "She just can't have Tenshi anymore."

"I agree," Tenshi said. "She was a horrible mother but that doesn't warrant death."

"Fine," Kakashi said.

"Good," Naruto said. "Now everyone grab on. I'm sick of walking."

They all did and Naruto teleported them all to his house where he had a Flying Thunder God kunai stuck in the ceiling.

"Good idea," Kakashi said while Naruto removed the kunai and simply put the seal formula itself on the ceiling.

"I'm going to get something to eat," Naruto said. "I'm starving."

The others agreed and they all decided to go to Ichiraku's without even having to discuss it. About halfway there, however, Sakura happened across their path.

"Hey Naruto," Sakura said holding a basket of her food pills out to him. "I made these for your training."

"No thanks," Naruto said completely forgetting who he was talking to. "Those things are only good for forcing someone to regurgitate poison. They're terrible."

The others all paled and After half a second so did Naruto. Sakura dropped the basket and Naruto took a step back.

"No wait, I didn't mean-" Naruto began but stopped when Sakura's fist smashed his jaw and when he smashed through the wall around the village, the impact destroyed a few more bones.

"Oh crap," Sakura said. "I think I might have overdone it a little. I'll go heal him."

"No!" Hinata said glaring at her.

"I think you've done enough for today Sakura," Kakashi said giving her a cold look.

Sakura felt terrible and Hinata and Hanabi both rushed to Naruto to heal him. The others went as well and Sakura turned and picked up the basket. She picked up one food pill and tasted it and instantly spit it out. Naruto had been right. They were terrible. She threw the basket into the nearest trash can and began to feel worse about hitting Naruto.

"Ow," Naruto said massaging his jaw as Hinata and Hanabi finished healing him. "That's the last time I open my mouth around Sakura."

"I would suggest a restraining order," Hanabi said.

"Nah," Naruto said. "I'll be fine."

About three minutes later Sakura arrived in Tsunade's office after being summoned. She knew that it was about what she did to Naruto and also could tell from Tsunade's facial expression that she was less than happy.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!?" Tsunade asked.

"Naruto said My food pills tasted bad so I hit him," Sakura mumbled.

"YOU WHAT!?" Tsunade shouted.

She was dumb founded. In all the time she had known Sakura she had never once heard of her losing her temper to that extreme. She knew that Sakura often hit Naruto for being stupid but to see her lose it for such a stupid reason was over the line. Sakura was already taking mandatory anger management classes because Tsunade had ordered her too. Now Tsunade was at her whit's end.

"That's the last straw Sakura," Tsunade said. "I don't know what to do with you. I tried to help you but you refuse to learn. I'm afraid there's only one thing to do and that's to Strip you of rank, strength, and ninja status."

Sakura paled but didn't argue. She knew that it was the least she deserved. But Tsunade wasn't done yet.

"Also, to ensure Naruto's safety, I'm setting up a one mile restraining order," Tsunade said.

"But that's not possible," Sakura said. "The village is only a half mile from one corner to the other."

"Exactly," Tsunade said. "As of this moment, you are banished from the village of Konohagakure. Pack your things, you have until noon to get to the minimum allowed distance."

Sakura's head fell and she silently left Hokage tower and went to her house. She packed her things within five minutes and within another five, she was outside of ten miles from the village. Then Naruto appeared in front of her.

"Naruto?" Sakura asked stopping. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to say goodbye," Naruto said. "Sorry about the harsh punishment. I didn't want any of it."

"It's not your fault," Sakura said. "I deserved it. I shouldn't have hit you. I'm sorry."

Naruto nodded and then walked over and gave her a hug while taking back the Flying Thunder God kunai he had planted on her when she punched him. She didn't notice that it was there or that he was taking it. Then he was gone. She sighed and continued to leave Konoha. Within fifteen minutes she arrived at the base she had to go to for the other part of her punishment. She turned over all of her ninja equipment then a medical ninja severed her chakra network and sent her on her way.

When Naruto arrived at Ichiraku's only Hinata was left. The others had all eaten and moved on.

"Why did you wait for me?" Naruto asked.

"Didn't think you'd want to eat alone," Hinata said.

"Thanks," Naruto said.

"We already made your usual," Teuchi said.

He gave Naruto the first bowl and Naruto once again saw that Ayame was dressed to impress. He really didn't give a crap right then and barely felt hungry at all. Hinata finished her food and noticed that Naruto had yet to take his first bite.

"Are you okay?" Hinata asked.

"No," Naruto said. "Her punishment was my fault. If I had kept my trap shut I would have been fine. Then she wouldn't have had to get her chakra network severed."

"It wasn't your fault," Hinata said. "She threw the punch."

Naruto checked his watch and seemed unimpressed by something.

"Late again," Naruto said. "What's taking him so long?"

Just then the same reddish-orange haired human form that Kurama took to speak with Naruto appeared in front of Naruto and Hinata felt her blood go cold.

Kurama knelt and then looked up at Naruto with hatred clear in his eyes.

"Master," Kurama said. "I wish to discuss something with you."

"I know you do," Naruto said. "You're late."

"It's not about the pink-haired, psychotic bitch that tried to kill us," Kurama said.

"Watch your mouth!" Naruto snapped. "What's it about?"

"It's about The Forbidden," Kurama said.

"Speak," Naruto said.

"I have reason to believe it may still return," Kurama said. "Not with Hinata or Shion. Have you heard the stories of Kami?"

"Yes," Naruto said. "And you know that I'm Christian and believe that Kami is a load of BS."

"It's not," Kurama said. "Kami is the ten-tailed beast. It created all. Even The Forbidden. I have reason to believe it intends to do so again but this time make The Forbidden more loyal."

"If Kami tries to bring The Forbidden back I'll become a God Slayer," Naruto said.

"Kami is not one to be taken lightly," Kurama said.

"Neither am I," Naruto growled. "And you are making my patience wear thin. Is there anything important you wanted to discuss or did you just feel like wasting my time?"

"That is all I had to say," Kurama said then flexed his right hand and a bright white light shot out.

When the light cleared nothing had changed and Naruto had had more than enough of Kurama for the day.

"That's enough," Naruto said.

Chakra chains shot out of his stomach and dragged Kurama back into the seal. Then Naruto paid for Hinata's meal as well as his own and left. Within minutes he arrived at the top of Hokage Mountain and counted to three and Hinata arrived right on time.

"Are you okay?" Hinata asked.

"No," Naruto said. "Guess I might as well not hide it any more. A while back I had a dream where you and me were running from something and you died. The dream was very vivid and I suddenly remembered Shion's ability to have visions of other people's deaths. I asked her about it and she agreed that it was a vision. Then, when Sakura punched me, I saw the street."

"I'm not going to die Naruto," Hinata said sitting next to him. "I promise."

Naruto kissed her and she kissed him back then pulled away and rested her head on his shoulder. Naruto kissed the top of her head and rested his cheek on her head while they watched the sun set.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you," Naruto said.

"I know you won't," Hinata said. "I love you."

"I love you too," Naruto said.

Hinata laced her fingers with Naruto's and Naruto smiled. After a half hour the sun had set and the stars were out. Naruto lay down and Hinata lay next to him resting her head on his shoulder.

"They're beautiful," Hinata said.

"Yes they are," Naruto said. "But I can barely see them."

"Why?" Hinata asked looking at him with a worried face.

Naruto grinned and said, "Because you're here."

Hinata smirked at his corny pick up line but still kissed him. After a second she pulled away and laid her head on his shoulder again. She was laying on her stomach now and had her eyes closed. Naruto lightly stroked her hair and she sighed contentedly. After about another five minutes she was asleep. Naruto carefully picked her up and teleported to his house then carried her to her own. He gently laid her on her bed and pulled the covers up over her. Then he teleported home just before Hiashi came in to make sure Hinata was asleep.

"Now to figure out who was chasing us," Naruto said as he sat in Lotus Position on his bed.

"Hello Naruto," Kurama said. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I need to see my dream in slow motion," Naruto said. "I need to figure out who was attacking us and why."

Kurama played the video of Naruto's dream at half speed and paused it when the Sand Ninja arrived.

"He was the last enemy," Kurama said.

"Back up until I close the door then play at one fourth speed," Naruto said.

Kurama did as he was told and Naruto was happy that the video was in first third person. The view slowly panned left and Naruto had Kurama pause it the moment it showed the only other door out of the room Naruto and Hinata had arrived in. In the window of the doorway was a silhouette. Kurama zoomed in and tried his best to make it a little more visible. The only thing they could see, however, was a black eye with a tan iris with a black four pointed star as the pupil and four tiny purple dots around the star.

"Shukaku," Naruto said. "Of course."

"You were caught in the cross hairs," Kurama mused. "He was after me."

"I wasn't caught," Naruto said. "Hinata was."

"What should we tell everyone?" Kurama asked.

"The Akatsuki has Shukaku so, for the time being," Naruto said, "We should treat every new arrival to the village as a suspect."

"That includes Tenshi," Kurama said.

"I know," Naruto said. "I already screened Tenshi. She's clean."

"How did you screen her?" Kurama asked.

"I'm not useless," Naruto said. "Plus I showed Hinata how to see the difference between the Jinchuriki's chakra and the demon's."

"I see," Kurama said.

"I'm going to have her keep tabs on the people that enter the village along with Hiashi," Naruto said.

"You seem to have planned for this," Kurama said.

Naruto went back to his room and then to sleep. A little while later he woke up and went to the Hyuga estate and requested a meeting with Hiashi. He knew that Hiashi always woke up bright and early and would have finished his breakfast a while ago. He was let in not long after requesting the meeting and was taken to a large, spacious room and knelt in front of Hiashi Hyuga.

"I am a very busy man," Hiashi said. "Would you care to tell me why you decided to waste my time with this meeting?"

"I requested this meeting in order to request your help," Naruto said.

"Help with what?" Hiashi asked.

"Not too long from now, this village is going to be deserted," Naruto said. "The desertion is because of a Jinchuriki of the one-tailed beast. It will have several shinobi under its command. Hinata and I will still be trapped in the village. Hinata will die. After that I don't know what happens."

"You expect me to believe you know the future?" Hiashi asked.

"Would that be the strangest thing you've ever seen?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Hiashi said. "And you're full of it. It'll never happen."

"Humor me," Naruto said. "If not for my sake then for your daughter's."

"I don't no who you're talking about," Hiashi said. "You didn't say anything about Hanabi."

"Hinata is your daughter," Naruto said.

"Not anymore," Hiashi said. "I have no use for a slut daughter."

"Watch your mouth," Naruto growled. "I am warning you. I am not above kicking your ass for bad mouthing her."

"As if you could stand a chance," Hiashi said.

"Did you disown her?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Hiashi said.

"And you won't help me?" Naruto asked.

"No," Hiashi said.

"I wonder how Hanabi will react when she hears you condemned her sister to death," Naruto said.

"I don't care," Hiashi said. "Like I said, I have no use for a slut daughter."

"What makes you think she's a slut?" Naruto asked.

"I overheard Hanabi and Konohamaru talking about what it is you tried to keep hidden from me," Hiashi said.

"I have no idea what it is," Naruto said. "And I have no interest in finding out."

"Oh but you should know what your girlfriend does at night," Hiashi said.

"I don't care," Naruto said. "It's none of my business. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go speak with Granny Tsunade. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me."

Naruto walked out of the compound then sat in the bushes and then went into his head again.

"Hey Kurama," Naruto said. "Do you remember those Dojutsu you were telling me about?"

"I remember," Kurama said. "As I recall you were particularly interested in the one that allows you to see the emotions of others as a color. You were even more interested in the one that boy, Ranmaru, had."

"Right now I need Ranmaru's," Naruto said.

Kurama nodded and Naruto went back to the real world and felt Kurama's Dojutsu activate. He stood then turned and looked behind himself. He used the Dojutsu and within a couple minutes he spotted Hinata and instantly felt his anger shoot through the roof. Hinata was chained to the wall of a basement. She was facing the wall and the clothes on her upper body had been removed. There were several lash wounds on her back, shoulders, even her thighs. Naruto clenched his fists and tried to weigh the consequences of making the Hyuga clan practically extinct. Just then Hiashi walked in and picked up a whip.

"That's more than enough," Naruto said teleporting to Hinata just in time to block the whip with his arm.

The whip wrapped around his arm and the metal shards lodged in his arm and got stuck. Hiashi pulled as hard as he could to get the whip back but it wouldn't budge. Naruto grinned and pulled back and Hiashi's grip was so strong that he came with the whip. Naruto kicked Hiashi in the face and felt his nose collapse under his sandle. Then he pulled the metal out of his arm and threw the whip to Hiashi then unchained Hinata and gently picked her up then kicked her clothes into the air with his foot and caught them. He turned to see Hiashi pulling his arm back to whip him.

"You should really learn a new trick," Naruto said teleporting back to his house with Hinata.

He gently laid her on the bed then healed her as well as he could. Then he sat her up and leaned her against him while he put her bra, then shirt, then jacket on her. Once he was done she stirred slightly and groaned.

"Naruto?" Hinata asked sitting up. "Where are we?"

"My house," Naruto said.

"Did you save me?" Hinata asked.

"Yes," Naruto said. "I also may have damaged your father's nose in the process."

"Did you break it?" Hinata asked.

"Not exactly," Naruto said. "I'd say more like...um...crushed it."

Hinata began to laugh hysterically and when she finally stopped she began to try to stand.

"We'd better get to Lady Tsunade before he turns what happened into you kidnapping me," Hinata said then gasped in pain and nearly fell.

Naruto caught her then began to force her to lay back down and said, "Tsunade knows I would never do that to you. Besides, you need your rest and I'm not leaving you here alone."

"Naruto," a familiar voice said. "You know why we're here."

"I know Yugao," Naruto said. "And you know that I can't let that happen."

"You don't have a choice," Yugao said.

"That's enough Yugao," Tsunade said walking in. "I wish to speak to them alone before anyone does anything."

"Yes Lady Hokage," Yugao said leaving.

"Hiashi said you attacked him and kidnapped Hinata," Tsunade said.

"You know I would never do that," Naruto said. "Plus I could never beat Hiashi in a straight fight and escape without a scratch."

"What's your side of the story Naruto?" Tsunade asked.

"I woke up this morning and wished to request Hiashi's help in keeping an eye out for someone that I knew was coming," Naruto said. "When I asked him he refused and when I told him that it would also save Hinata's life, he still refused saying that he didn't care at all about Hinata since he had disowned her. Then I left but had Kurama use his Kekkei Genkai to allow me to use Ranmaru's Dojutsu to find Hinata. Once I found her she was chained to a wall and had been whipped badly. Hiashi was about to whip her again but I used the Flying Thunder God technique to stop Hiashi and kicked him in the face before he had the chance to realize I was there. I removed Hinata from the wall and teleported back here then healed her as best I could. Then she woke up and Yugao arrived."

"Is this true Hinata?" Tsunade asked.

"Last night about midnight he told me I was no longer his daughter then immobilized me and chained me in the basement," Hinata said. "Then he whipped me until I blacked out. Then I woke up here with Naruto."

"Were you able to fully heal her?" Tsunade asked.

"No," Naruto said.

"Then let me see her injuries," Naruto said.

Naruto helped her remove her jacket then pulled the back of her shirt up while Tsunade placed a hand over her mouth in shock. After a moment she walked over and fully healed Hinata's back then stood.

"I believe you Naruto," Tsunade said writing something on a slip of paper then signing it and handing it to Naruto. "Give this to Hiashi and you'll be able to take your revenge legally."

Naruto thanked her and as Tsunade was leaving, Naruto whispered for Hinata to screen Tsunade and Hinata paled which told Naruto that the scan was positive.

"Shukaku," Naruto said.

Tsunade froze and turned to look back at him.

"What?" Tsunade asked.

"You signed the paper as Shukaku," Naruto said. "Plus I can read Kanji so I know that this is an order for Hiashi to kill me."

"You're pretty quick kid," Tsunade said in Shukaku's voice.

"Where's the real Tsunade?" Naruto asked.

"She's fine," Tsunade said.

Just then smoke covered Tsunade and when it cleared there was a sand version of Gaara standing in front of them.

"You really liked having Gaara for a Jinchuriki huh?" Naruto asked.

"He got into a lot of fights," Shukaku said matter-of-factly.

"Why don't you just fight me yourself?" Naruto asked.

"Because we both know that my brother is stronger than me," Shukaku said. "So I think I'll suffice for simply enslaving everyone else. Don't worry. I'll let her die instead."

With that Shukaku exploded into a cloud of dust and went through a vent. A moment later Yugao and the real Tsunade burst in and Tsunade charged at Naruto.

"I didn't do it!" Naruto said without flinching in the least.

Tsunade froze with her fist a centimeter away from Naruto's nose. She pulled it away and Hinata and Naruto both told her the same thing they had told Shukaku. Tsunade didn't believe a word until she saw Hinata's scars that she could sense were recently healed.

"What's that?" Tsunade asked pointing at the piece of paper Naruto was holding.

Naruto handed it to her and she read it then shredded it.

"Who's it in?" Tsunade asked.

"Shukaku isn't in anyone," Naruto said. "He's been turned into living sand. He's taking the form of a sand version of Gaara."

"Find him and kill him," Tsunade said.

"I'll help," Gaara said walking through the door.

Tsunade turned to punch Gaara thinking he was Shukaku, but Naruto caught her fist without a single injury.

"He's the real one," Naruto said. "Shukaku is the color of sand."

"Fine," Tsunade said. "Now what?"

"Evacuate," Naruto said.

"Done," Gaara said. "You guys are the only ones left."

"You two get out of here," Naruto said. "Gaara, take them to the Land of Snow. They should be having winter right now. Then go to these coordinates and use this seal. Convince any that you can to help Kurama. We're going to kill Shukaku once and for all."

Naruto wrote coordinates and a seal formula on a piece of paper then wrote the hand seals required for the seal. When he was done he handed the paper to Gaara and Gaara nodded then led Tsunade and Yugao into a hole in the ground and closed it after them.

"What do we do?" Hinata asked.

"We need to get to the safe house," Naruto said.

"Where's that?" Hinata asked.

"What's the most secure place in this village?" Naruto asked.

"That would be...the Academy," Hinata said.

Naruto nodded. He knew that the Academy was on the same street he had seen in his dream. He looked outside and sure enough everything was dark. The power was out and there were shinobi flashing between buildings.

"Time to move," Naruto said.

They both ran outside and into the street, and instantly got swarmed by shinobi. Naruto pulled out his Chakra Blades and grew bone spikes all over his body. Then he began using the Flying Swallow technique with every single bone spike and blade. He began to glow blue and begun spinning and slashing his way through the shinobi and after about three minutes he heard Hinata cry out in pain. He moved faster and after a couple minutes he retracted his bones and put his Chakra Blades away. Hinata had been stabbed in the leg by a kunai. Naruto pulled it out but before he could heal her she said that they had to get to the Academy first. Naruto lifted her onto his back then sped off down the street at full speed. After a couple minutes they went into the safe house and he shut and locked the door then caught the chokuto before it could stab him. He shoved the shinobi away then followed it with his Chakra Blades in hand. He and the shinobi fought fro several minutes until the shinobi kicked Naruto in the jewels and then prepared to finish it. Just then Hinata intervened and they began to fight. After less than a minute Naruto got up and the shinobi swung at him again but Hinata tried to block the sword. It bounced off of her Chakra Blade then swung down and left a very deep gash in Hinata's torso. Naruto instantly threw himself over Hinata and drove both of his Chakra Blades into the shinobi's eyes, effectively killing him. Then he spun around and began healing Hinata.

"Help me Kurama," Naruto said.

"Why should I?" Kurama asked.

Naruto begged him and eventually agreed to release him if he saved Hinata's life. Kurama instantly agreed and helped Naruto and within minutes, she was fully healed and was hugging the living daylights out of Naruto.

"You saved me," Hinata said.

"No," Naruto said. "Kurama did."

"Why?" Hinata asked.

Naruto shifted into Lotus Position but instead of him disappearing, Kurama appeared. Kurama was in the human form that both Naruto and Hinata had spoken with and he grinned.

"At long last I'm free," Kurama said.

"And just what do you plan on doing?" Naruto asked.

"For starters helping you kill Shukaku," Kurama said. "Then I don't know."

"Is there anyone...special to you?" Hinata asked.

"Yes," Kurama said. "Matatabi."

"Your sister?" Naruto asked. "I didn't know you had a thing for incest."

"It's not incest," Kurama said. "We aren't really related. None of us are. That's why we're each a different animal."

"So you and Matatabi are together," Naruto said.

"No," Matatabi said walking into the room.

Naruto turned around and was shocked by Matatabi's human form. She was about their age with bright blue flames for hair that reached the middle of her back. Her eyes ere completely yellow and glowed and she had sharp teeth and claws. Despite the fact that she looked like she could easily tear apart anyone she didn't like, Naruto would have to be blind to not see that she was beautiful. She was about an inch shorter than Kurama and Naruto and had flawless, creme-colored skin. She had D cup breasts by Naruto's estimation by viewing Kurama's observations of her.

"Hey Kurama," Naruto said. "How come I can still see your thoughts and memories?"

"Only my physical body is out of you," Kurama said. "For the most part my soul is still inside you. If my body dies I'll still live."

"Good idea," Naruto said.

"Why do you trust this boy so much Kurama?" Matatabi asked.

"What do you mean?" Kurama asked.

"Oh don't act evil," Matatabi said. "You've changed a lot while you were in this boy. You're not evil anymore. You're still self-centered but you actually care what happens to him and Hinata now as well as those around them."

"No I don't," Kurama said.

"She's right Kurama," Shukaku said forming in front of them. "You're not nearly as evil as you used to be. You won't be able to finish your family anymore will you."

"I will," Naruto said. "Easily."

Shukaku grinned as Naruto charged. Shukaku exploded into dust and Naruto formed hand seals then several grains of sand turned black then Naruto jumped back out of the cloud as Shukaku reformed himself in a miniature version of his true body.

"Now let's get this over with," Shukaku said.

Naruto charged and Shukaku didn't move but after a moment he seemed distressed and smashed Naruto back with his tail.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked. "Having trouble turning into dust?"

"You think you're pretty clever huh?" Shukaku asked.

"Pretty much," Naruto said.

"You do realize that you just cured me of my instability and inability to hold a solid form for more than a couple minutes," Shukaku said.

Naruto didn't stop smiling but had to resist the urge to do a face-palm. He took a step forward but before he could get very far, Shukaku hit them all with a Tailed Beast Ball. They all stood and charged and Shukaku began to fight them in melee combat. Naruto slashed at Shukaku's face but he blocked the attack with his tail then smashed Naruto away. Hinata slashed Shukaku's back successfully then received a tail to the side of the head. Kurama and Matatabi both attacked Shukaku and smashed him into the air then shot up and smashed him back down to a waiting Naruto. Naruto smashed Shukaku into the ground with a foot that had so many bone spikes that it looked like his foot had been replaced by a Morning Star.

Naruto did a back flip and retracted his claws. He landed next to Hinata and helped her up. She thanked him then Kurama and Matatabi landed next to them.

"Any chance it's over?" Naruto asked hopefully.

"No," Kurama said.

"Did you ever think to give him the Uzumaki Dojutsu?" Matatabi asked.

"The what?" Naruto asked.

Kurama grew claws made out of green fire then spun and slashed Naruto's eyes. Naruto howled in pain and clutched his face until the feeling of his eyes receiving a third degree burn subsided. When he moved his eyes away, everything was black and white.

"What did you do?" Naruto asked.

"I gave you your bloodline ability from your mother," Kurama said. "It's the Uzumaki variation of the Byakugan."

"No it's not," Hinata said looking at Naruto's eyes. "That's the Sharingan Ancestor Dojutsu."

"It wasn't passed to the Uchiha," Kurama said. "It was passed to the Uzumaki in the exact same form. The Uchiha got a wash-down version. This one is far superior to all but the Rinnegan. It even has the Rinnegan's ability to manipulate gravity."

"Awesome," Naruto said. "Can it work like a Byakugan as well?"

"If you can figure out how to use it yes," Kurama said. "And don't worry. It doesn't need to be deactivated. It's like the Rinnegan in that respect."

Naruto's eyes suddenly rotated clockwise and made the swirl designs look hypnotic and Naruto's eyes zoomed in so much Naruto could see bacteria moving on the ground. After a second the zoomed back out.

"You don't know how to control these?" Naruto asked.

"No one does kid," Shukaku said standing. "Get used to it."

He hit them all with another Tailed Beast Ball then retreated. Naruto's eyes zoomed in on his back as Naruto shot a Pressure Damage. The attack hit him squarely in the back then Naruto's eyes zoomed back out.

"Help full," Naruto said. "Come on Kurama."

"Sorry but that's a no," Kurama said.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"I'm finished," Kurama said.

He moved his hand and Naruto saw that Kurama's entire abdomen had been nearly shredded by debris during the last blast. Matatabi knelt next to him and Naruto could see she had no intention of going either.

"I'll handle it then," Naruto said standing.

"I'm coming with you," Hinata said.

Naruto nodded and they ran to the top of Hokage Mountain where Shukaku had landed. Shukaku greeted them by attacking first but Naruto and Hinata were able to dodge the attack then began to fight back. Hinata used gentle fist on Shukaku but it had no effect so Shukaku smashed her away then turned as Naruto moved in to attack but his eyes zoomed in again and his attack completely missed. Shukaku smashed Naruto away as well and he landed next to Hinata.

"Why the hell don't my eyes work?" Naruto asked.

Just then he found himself standing inside his head with the Uchiha Clan Ancestor in front of him.

"You know why you can't control them," the Ancestor said.

"No I don't," Naruto said.

"You're afraid," the Ancestor said. "But not of dying. Only of losing Hinata. You must let go of all fear in order to use my eyes."

With that Naruto was back where he had been. He hated that the Ancestor had told him not to be afraid to lose Hinata but he also knew that he was right. Naruto stood and Shukaku grinned. Naruto pulled out his chakra blades and used his new eyes to look at Shukaku's chakra network. Then he charged while using the Flying Swallow technique. He slashed Shukaku just enough to destroy his Chakra Network then jumped back and smirked.

"I don't use chakra boy," Shukaku said.

"No," Naruto said. "But that sand is kept alive with it."

Shukaku suddenly looked down at himself and saw that he was falling apart.

"DAMN YOU BRAT!" Shukaku shouted taking a step forward to attack Naruto and falling apart.

"Thank God that's over," Naruto said then found himself in his head again.

"Very good Naruto," the Ancestor said. "Of course, I was shitting you when I told you that. I just thought it would sound cool. The truth is, you will learn to control them in time."

"Can't you just show me?" Naruto asked.

"Why not?" the Ancestor said placing his hand on Naruto's forehead.

When Naruto woke up he grinned at the new knowledge he had. He carried Hinata back to Kurama and Matatabi and arrived before Kurama died.

"Hey kid," Kurama said. "Nice job killing Shukaku."

Naruto walked over and began to heal Kurama then activated his eyes and it allowed him to use Kurama's Chakra Network to make him heal completely. Kurama sat up with shock clearly visible on his face.

"How..." Kurama began.

"Never look a gift horse in the mouth," Naruto said.

"Agreed," Matatabi said then kissed Kurama.

Kurama took another second to try to comprehend what was happening then began to kiss Matatabi back. After a couple seconds he pulled away and sighed.

"I'm sorry Matatabi," Kurama said.

"I am too," Matatabi said.

Kurama began to make the necessary hand seals to return to Naruto's body but Naruto caught one wrist.

"You've earned your freedom," Naruto said. "Be happy. If you ever kill anyone that doesn't deserve it or if you go against Konohagakure or Sunagakure, I'll seal you right back inside me again."

"Thank you," Kurama said.

Naruto nodded and Kurama and Matatabi went back to kissing.

"Come on Hinata," Naruto said as his eyes zoomed in then back out. "Let's go meet the others."

Hinata followed him away from the two tailed beasts and after fifteen minutes they met the others while they were on their way back to Konoha.

"I thought I said to get them out of here?" Naruto asked Gaara.

"Right because you could keep Tsunade from returning any better than me," Gaara said.

"Fair enough," Naruto said. "It's over Granny Tsunade."

"Good," Tsunade said. "What the hell happened to the Academy?"

"Tailed Beast Ball," Naruto said. "Two, to be exact."

"Who are they?" Kakashi asked pointing at Kurama and Matatabi.

"Can I speak with you two for a moment?" Gaara asked leading Naruto and Hinata away. "Why the hell is Kurama free?"

"I had to free him in order to convince him to save Hinata's life," Naruto said.

"Okay," Gaara said making the Seal of Confrontation and releasing the Genjutsu Naruto had placed to make his eyes look normal. "Where'd you get the Dojutsu?"

"It's the long lost Uzumaki Dojutsu that everyone knows as the Sharingan Ancestor," Naruto said. "How'd you know?"

"Your eyes were a shade lighter than normal," Gaara said.

"Spend a lot of time staring at my eyes do you?" Naruto asked.

"No," Gaara said. "A ninja is supposed to be able to see even the slightest change in an instant."

"That's true," Hinata said.

Naruto put the Genjutsu back on and told Gaara not to tell anyone about his new ability. Gaara agreed and they went back to the others just as Kurama and Matatabi arrived.

"Naruto, we've got a problem," Kurama said.

"What is it Kurama?" Naruto asked while the others were all shocked.

"My seal is only temporary," Matatabi said. "Without Yugito, I'll fade away."

Naruto nodded and tried to think of any way to bring Yugito back without using the Impure World Reincarnation.

"If you wish to hear it," Matatabi said, "Kurama has an idea. Albeit an unpleasant one."

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"Get her a new Jinchuriki," Kurama said.

"I assume you have someone in mind," Naruto said.

"I do," Kurama said turning his eyes on Hinata while keeping his face aimed at Naruto.

"No," Naruto said.

"Yes," Hinata said. "If it'll save her from fading away, then yes."

"No," Naruto said.

"It's not your choice," Hinata said. "I'll do it Matatabi."

"I don't want to cause a fight," Matatabi said.

"I do," Kurama said. "I find this hilarious."

Naruto made three hand seals and chakra chains instantly shot out of him then dragged him back into Naruto.

"That's quite enough," Naruto said. "Now then, the answer is still no."

"Why?" Hinata asked.

"Because he thinks he has a better idea," Matatabi said.

"I'll do it," Naruto said.

"No human, however stubborn or strong, can survive being a double Jinchuriki," Matatabi said. "You should already know that."

"Naruto please," Hinata said. "If I can save her, please let me."

"Okay," Naruto said. "I'm going to have a little 'talk' with Kurama."

He sat in Lotus position and disappeared. Everyone continued to the village except Hinata and Matatabi who were also sitting in Lotus Position. Both of them disappeared as they went into Hinata's subconscious.

"Why the hell did you do that brat?" Kurama asked.

"Because I warned you not to piss me off," Naruto said.

Kurama was still being restrained by Chakra chains. Naruto released the chains then stood.

"I will let you back out after Hinata's done," Naruto said.

"So she talked you into it after all," Kurama said.

"Yes," Naruto said before disappearing.

Hinata opened her eyes inside her head and saw that Matatabi's had created a cage made out of seal formulas.

"Only you can release the seals," Matatabi said. "But my physical body will still be able to leave so that I can help you fight as well as be with Kurama."

"Of course," Hinata said. "Now we should head back."

When they got back they looked around and Naruto appeared a moment later.

"Is it done?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Hinata said.

Naruto released Kurama and Hinata did the same for Matatabi. Kurama gave Naruto a very angry glare then walked away with Matatabi.

"Now then," Naruto said. "Maybe now we can relax."

"Let me guess," Hinata said. "You want ramen."

"Maybe," Naruto said. "Unless something else is on the menu."

Hinata blushed slightly knowing full well what he meant.

"Sorry but it's not," Hinata said.

"Darn," Naruto said. "Then I guess ramen will have to do."

Hinata laughed and Naruto smiled. They walked to Ichiraku's and Naruto was happy that Ayame had given up on dressing like a slut. Naruto had about half his usual number of bowl, which was still around twenty, and Hinata had three. Naruto had happy that they were able to relax but he couldn't help but feel like something was off. He decided to ignore the feeling and just enjoy being with Hinata.
