Chapter five (Naruto meets JLU version two)
*Okay small recap: Naruto and Hinata were left alone to enjoy their dinner date while both Bruce and Shikamaru left to attend to other important business in the city. Unknown to Naruto he was followed by a few members of the league who in fact were following him to protect him from Danzo who was in Gotham City. While the league members were talking they failed to notice that both Naruto and Hinata had left the restaurant for Naruto had felt the presence of some one that he didn't trust and didn't want Hinata to get hurt so he and Hinata left the restaurant and found Alfred waiting to take them back to the mansion. Meanwhile Shikamaru was having another problem which was coming up with a good explanation for three people that wanted him dead, Sasuke, Sakura, and Neji. As Shikamaru explained the problem with Naruto he reveled that Kabuto, Orochimaru and Neji's uncle was in the city looking for Naruto and Hinata. So while the Leaf Nin left to find Hiashi before he hurt both Naruto and Hinata, the Sand Nin showed up in Gotham City looking for one man, Danzo. As the Sand Nin siblings began their search Naruto and Hinata were having trouble of their own and this is where our story begins.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Demon talking
Jon talking telepathically
As both Naruto and Hinata both sat in the back of the car, they couldn't help but think about everything that has happened this night. While Naruto was thinking of ways to make up for what a horrible night this has probably been for Hinata, Hinata was having a hard time trying not to reveal to her true love of who he really is and ruining his chance for a normal life. Hinata remembered the day that Tsunade had told every member of Rookie Nine the truth about why Naruto was hated for so many years and why Naruto felt like he didn't belong in the village.
*Flashback to three years ago, three days after Naruto's disappearance*
Tsunade was surprised to see every member of Rookie Nine upset and saddened by what happened to their very dear friend in her office trying their best to compose themselves and keep from breaking down in front of her. Tsunade had noticed that Hinata, TenTen and Sakura were holding back their tears, as well as Lee who had lost not only a powerful rival but a dear friend. Tsunade had noticed that Kiba and Shino were doing their best to keep Hinata from crying and knew that those two would look after her for the rest of her life. As soon as everyone was settled in her office Kakashi, Iruka and Konohamaru and his group of friends appeared behind everyone and for once Kakashi was on time.
"I see that everyone is here, now down to business. I all of you are still grieving for the lose of a very dear person and would rather be at home to deal with this your own way, but there is a reason why I called all of you here today. Have any of you wondered why Naruto was hated in this village as a child and why he was all alone growing up, why many of the stores, villagers and the elders of each clan looked at Naruto with hate and disgust whenever he was around. Well I believe that it is time that you all found out the real reason for all that hatred. You see twelve or it would be thirteen now. Well thirteen years ago the village was attacked by the Nine Tailed Fox. Now many of you may remember from you history books it says that the Fourth Hokage defeated the Fox Demon and died to bring peace back to the village right? Well those history books are only half right about what happened. You see on that day the Fourth did restore peace in the village, but the demon wasn't killed. Instead the fox was sealed in a small baby boy, the Fourth had sealed the fox inside his own baby boy, that baby was Naruto himself. The Fourth knew that he couldn't kill the demon so the only other way to stop the fox was to seal him away in his only son. Unfortunately for both the Fourth and Naruto, the villagers didn't like the idea of having Naruto around for they feared that the fox would take over and destroy everyone. Naruto would have been left all alone if it had not been for the Third Hokage stepping in and keeping an eye on Naruto. But you all can guess what happened in the years to follow at the academy and the many missions you all went. And Sasuke, Neji you both got glimpse of that demons power during the Chunin exams." Tsunade saw that both boys knew what she was talking about.
"You mean that red chakra and the way Naruto's eyes turned red whenever he was mad or fighting to keep us safe. You mean to tell us that all this time that he was hated, despised, and ignored by the villagers he fought so hard to protect was because of THAT DAMNED FOX SEALED IN HIM!?!?!" Sasuke couldn't believe what he was hearing, Naruto the son of the man that gave his life for this village who in turn gave everything he had to protect the village he called home was put down his whole life for something he had no control over. Sasuke couldn't believe what he heard and neither could everyone else. Kiba had literally punched a hole in the wall to let out his anger, Shino took it upon himself to put Hinata in the nearest chair in the office to prevent her from falling on the floor but inside he was furious. Lee couldn't believe what he was hearing, while Neji himself couldn't believe what he heard either, but before he could let out his anger on the wall like Kiba, he had to catch TenTen who had become dizzy all of a sudden and was about to pass out. Sakura on the other hand just stood there in complete shock. Sakura had always wondered why Naruto was so protective of his friends and why he grew up feeling left out and alone. In truth when Sakura was assigned to team nine she saw Naruto like an annoying little brother and in turn Naruto treated her like a big sister. Chouji couldn't believe what he was hearing and neither could Shikamaru. Iruka had to consul Konohamaru and keep him from running out of the room and hurting someone or himself along with his two friends. Kakashi literally had to restrain Sasuke from going after anyone and killing him for he saw that Sasuke's cursed seal had activated and was feeding off of his anger for the village at the moment.
"I know that you all are upset to hear this but you have to understand the reasons why Naruto didn't tell any of you his biggest secret. He feared that if you all knew about this you would either hate him or fear him like so many others did when he was growing up. So the best thing for him to do to keep everyone that he held dear safe was to remain quiet and bare the burden alone. To him it was the only thing he could do to protect all of you. I know this is a lot to take in all at once but you have to understand that Naruto was and will forever be one of best shinobi this village has ever had and his memory will live on in us even if this village and the counsel doesn't like it, Naruto legacy will forever live on in all of us. Now down to another problem which is finding the snake in the council responsible for all this. Now the next few years will be hard on all of you but remember this, you are all shinobi and can over come any obstacle that is put in front of you. I know getting over the pain will be difficult and it will take many years to get over what has happened but I know that you all can do it. Now you all have the rest of the day to do what ever you want, but I need to talk to Sasuke and Shikamaru for a few minutes and I want to talk to you too Konohamaru about what you and your friends just heard. The rest of you are dismissed." After that the remaining members of Rookie Nine went to eat and talk at Naruto's favorite Ramen shop since neither wanted to be left alone at the moment and they needed to talk to each other about what they just heard. It was silent when as they waited for their food to arrive and said silence was broken by Chouji.
"I can't believe that Naruto was going through all that when he was growing up. I mean you could barely tell that he was either sad or lonely at the academy. He always had that silly grin on his face and was always pulling pranks on everyone in the village." After Chouji said that everyone began to think back to the old days before they became genin. It was then that Iruka came to the Ramen shop followed by Shikamaru and Sasuke. Iruka himself knew of what Chouji was referring to and decided to join the conversation. Also he knew that his former students were really missing their favorite blonde loud ninja friend right now and needed someone to help comfort them.
"In a way Chouji is right, we didn't seem to notice any of the problems that Naruto was having because he was busy trying to get our attention, whether it be from us or the whole village Naruto did his best to try and fit in and he did his best to show us that he wasn't the monster that was sealed in him." Everyone just remained silent as Iruka spoke knowing what he said was right,
"Do you think that he's happy where he is right now?" Hinata finally spoke up after just sitting in silence for ten minutes. Everyone there knew how strongly Hinata felt for Naruto and losing him was like a kunai stab to the heart for her. They knew that her and Naruto had only begun their relationship about three week ago and losing him now was just too much. Kiba knew that his friend was going to need him now more than anything and he also knew that he bastard of a father was going to give her hell about what happened on the mission. It was a well known fact that Hiashi Hyuga hated Naruto for two reasons: one for getting close to his daughter and thinking he had a chance with her and two for having the demon sealed in him. Kiba didn't like Hinata's dad to begin with and now he down right despised the man for hurting both of his friends.
Sakura was having a very difficult time adjusting to losing Naruto. Naruto and her were like family and she had often treated him like a little brother. She would often when they were still at the academy follow Naruto home just to make sure that he was alright. Even if she acted like he was nothing more than a clown, she knew that he was all alone and had no one to take care of him. As Sakura was thinking all of this she half-expected this all to be nothing more than a bad dream and she would wake up any moment and find her friend here at the ramen stand waiting for both her and Sasuke to come so they can go on their next missions. But another part of her knew that this was no dream and that her friend wasn't going to come back anytime soon. While they ate each member of Rookie Nine promised to always watch each others back and protect what friends they had left.
A few days later Hinata life began to get worse at home for her. Hiashi was constant telling Hinata that it was all her fault that Naruto was gone and that it was her punishment for dating him in the first place. After going threw this torture for five days Hianta had enough of her father and the entire Hyuga clan (minus Neji). She told her father that he was wrong about Naruto and that Naruto was a far better ninja than anyone in the village including Hiashi himself. Not a very bright move to make when your arguing with your father for after Hinata said that she found herself knocked through the wall and onto the training ground on the Hyuga estate. Fortunately for Hinata, Neji was training in the yard with Gai and Kakashi at the time and were able to stop Hiashi from killing Hinata. Luckily Hinata came out of that incident with only a few bruises and a cut on her upper lip where her father had slapped her. Kakashi and Gai were able to get Hinata to the Hokage and have her patched up but no sooner had she gotten out of the doctors office with Tsunade, TenTen came rushing in holding a near dead Neji who was bleeding from everywhere. As Neji was rushed to intensive care TenTen told Hinata that her father had did that to Neji and said that they would both pay for disobeying him and the rest of the Hyuga clan. TenTen also told Hinata that she had to fight Hinata's father just to get Neji away from that place and to the hospital and the proof that TenTen had fought her father was the large palm bruise on her side. Apparently Hiashi had heard of TenTen's love of weapons and how she always kept her weapons on her at all times. So to give him the advantage he tried to block her chakra network but only succeeded in getting a few ninja stars embedded in his side for what he did to her friend and to TenTen's advantage the ninja stars were laced with a paralyzing solution that stuns anyone that the stars cut and since twelve out of fifteen of the stars hit Hiashi, he would be stunned for a few hours. Hinata decided to stay and wait for her friend TenTen to get checked on and then both of them would wait for the Lady Hokage to tell them how Neji was doing and if he would make it through. The other members of Rookie Nine should up twenty minutes later at the hospital courtesy of Sakura who was working the front desk. After waiting three hours for the Hokage to come and tell them how Neji was doing Shizune came and told them that Neji was going to be alright but both him and Hinata were to stay at the hospital under the careful eyes of Kakashi and Gai. Hinata knew that she was going to stay with her teacher a little longer than she thought because after what had happened she had a funny feeling that her and Neji weren't welcomed anymore at the Hyuga compound. Which they weren't cause the next day both Neji and Hinata were banished from the compound were both disowned by all the Hyuga in the household. Before anything else could happen Shikamaru showed up and took them both to see the Hokage and fill her in on what happened. To keep Hinata and Neji both safe it was decided that they would stay with a member of Rookie Nine or one of their sensei's.
*Coming out of flashback and back in the car with Naruto*
And the rest is well history, now Hinata is wondering how she can help her Naruto-kun get his memory back without revealing too much or the wrong thing. While Hinata was thinking about the past, Naruto was thinking about how to make up for what has happened so far. Naruto knew that this night has been one goof up after another. Naruto also knew that the league had been following him since he left Shikamaru's place and to the restaurant and knew that he was going to have a nice long talk with the guys after this night was over, but first he had to think of a way to make up for how terrible this night has been for Hinata before he dealt with the league in the morning.
"Hey Hinata about tonight I'm sorry it hasn't been going so well. This is probably the worst date you've been on huh?" To Naruto's surprise he saw Hinata blush like crazy and shake her head no.
"Actually Naruto, this is the first date I've ever been on. Most of the guys that I know back home are nothing more than friends and they have girlfriends already." Hinata was surprised when Naruto just shook his head and laugh at what she just said not believing what he just heard.
"You mean to tell me that a cute girl like you doesn't have boys throwing themselves at your feet begging you to go out with them and this is your first date? Ah man I really gotta make up for this being a lousy night Hinata. Please allow me to make it up to you by taking you out on another date. One that doesn't involve us talking about business and meetings. Please let me make up for this night by taking you somewhere Hinata." Hinata looked into Naruto's eyes and found traces of guilt, caring, friendship and a bit of nervousness. Hinata knew that Naruto was the type of person who could make anyone happy and at the moment what made her happy was being with him.
"The one thing that will make me happy is having a nice quiet lunch with you some where like the park or near the country side would be nice" Hinata couldn't help but blush at what she just said to him. True Hinata had always dreamed of having a romantic picnic in the park with Naruto before but to tell him just like that, well Hinata was beyond embarrassed. Hinata tried to hide her growing blush from Naruto but found that his hand had found its way under her chin and lifting her face to look him straight in the eyes.
"If that is what you want Hinata, I'll go on a picnic with you, but for now lets focus on having dinner here at Wayne Manor. I promise you that I'll grant your wish and any other wishes your desires," Naruto then lean into Hinata's ear and whispered "Even your darkest and lustful desires Hinata-hime."
Hinata just sat there with her eyes wide and blushed like crazy and tried not to shudder from his hot breath on her ear. Hinata didn't know what was going on with her, it was like she was under some sort of a spell when she looked into his eyes. And just looking into her loves eyes awoke every dark and lust filled fantasy she could think of that she had locked away in the darkest part of her brain. Hinata was then shocked to see Naruto's eyes had shifted from his beautiful blue to the dangerous and sexy blood red. Hinata knew then that the fox was trying to help bring his memories back of her and bring back his old feeling too. But Hinata found that she couldn't think about anything at the moment cause her mind had lost the ability to work right because Naruto had gone from breathing on her ear to licking her neck and was gradually moving her to lay down in the back of the seat. Meanwhile Naruto was having an inner battle with himself and trying to stop himself.
*In Naruto's head*
'What the hell am I doing?!?!? I have to stop before I literally take her in the back of the car and that will be a good thing to tell Shikamaru tomorrow when we go to work. Why can't I stop, God she smells so good. I love her smell and the way she feels in my hands...I wonder how her legs would feel...ACK!!! NO I HAVE TO STOP THIS!! SHE'S NOT READY FOR THIS AND WE JUST MEET!!! WHY DOESN'T SHE STOP ME?!?!" Naruto then heard something that shocked him and enraged him at the same time and he didn't know why.
Probably because she is enjoying what you are doing to her kit. And believe me when I say this I can't blame you for wanting to have this woman right now. She is a true vixen and wants to be dominated by right now. Naruto then turned around and found a giant fox with nine tails smiling at him with a grin that could rival the Cheshire Cats grin. For some odd reason Naruto felt as though he has met this fox before. And another part of him feels like ripping that smug look off his face and to get him to show Hinata some respect.
'LISTEN I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR HOW YOU GOT IN MY MIND OR WHY YOU'RE HERE BUT LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT BUSTER!! HINATA IS NOT A VIXEN, SHE'S A KIND AND CARING PERSON THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE RAVISHED LIKE A ONE NIGHT STAND!! NOW DO ME A BIG FAVOR AND GET OUT OF MY HEAD AND LEAVE HINATA ALONE BEFORE I PUT YOU ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST FOX!!!!!' Naruto was surprised to see that the fox just smiled and laughed at him. This didn't sit so well with Naruto and he was serious about the fox leaving Hinata alone.
'HEY WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT? I'M VERY SERIOUS ABOUT SKINNING YOU ALIVE YA KNOW.' Naruto then noticed that the fox had tears in his eyes then the fox looked at him and smiled. Part of Naruto knew that this fox meant no harm to him or Hinata but he had to stop the fox from controlling him and stop him before he did something that he would get killed for in the morning. But before Naruto could say a word the fox began to talk.
Look I know what your going to say and I'll stop but I can't say that she's going to be too happy about that. To me she looked like she was enjoying it very much. But if you want to know more about me you might want to talk to the Martian and have him help you talk to me. But for now you might want to check on your date, she's looking a bit flushed at the moment..if you know what I mean. Naruto then came out of his trance like state and lust filled gaze and looked at Hinata who was breathing very heavily and had a nice hickey on her neck and what looked like bite marks too.
"Hinata I'm sorry I don't know what came over me and I'm sorry just-," Hinata put a finger to Naruto's mouth to stop his ranting and apologizing. She couldn't help but notice the blush on his face and began to blush herself for what almost happened. Before anything else happened Alfred finally pulled up to Wayne Manor.
"We're here master Naruto, miss Hyuga. Now I'll begin making something for both of you to enjoy. Master Naruto why don't you take her into the den and you two can get to know each other better while I make dinner for both of you. Oh and Master Naruto could I have a word with you for a few minutes please" Naruto knew he was in trouble not only for trying to ravish Hinata in the back of the car but trying to do it in front of Alfred. As Alfred, Naruto and Hinata all went into the house and after Naruto lead Hinata to the den he then went to the kitchen to talk to Alfred about what happened.
"Alfred I'm really sorry about what almost happened in the car, I don't know what came over me and I promise never to do that again unless I get Hinata's permission, and-," Alfred held up a hand to stop Naruto's apologetic ranting and Alfred couldn't understand him. Alfred just smiled at the boy and told him to sit down.
"Master Naruto I know you didn't mean to do what you did, and I'm sure that Miss Hyuga understands as well but you must know that everything that Master Bruce taught you about women you must forget and fast if not for your sake but for the sake of Miss Hyuga. I can tell that she has taken a liking to you and the same can be said of you master Naruto, am I right?" Alfred had a grin on his face when he saw Naruto with a blush on his face and that goofy smile of his.
"I know Alfred, but its weird it feels as though I've met Hinata before and that she and I are going to get along just fine. Part of me wants to protect her and make her dreams come true while the other part of me wants to destroy all the things that has made her sad and cry in her life. Alfred what's wrong with me and why do I feel this way?" Alfred just shook his head and smiled at the boy and knew what was wrong with him.
"Nothing is wrong Master Naruto, you are just in love with Miss Hyuga and the same can be said for her. I could tell that she was in love with you the minute you both entered the car with Master Bruce and Master Nara. Although I didn't expect you both to fall in love so quickly." Alfred wasn't surprised by the shocked expression on Naruto's face when Alfred told him he was in love.
Naruto didn't know what to think cause he had so many questions running through his head that very moment. He had just met Hinata today, was it possible to fall in love with some one in just one day, should he take things slow or just pretend that Alfred was wrong and the odds of Alfred being wrong are 0.1 to 99.9 being that Alfred is right 99.9 percent of the time. Naruto was so confused he didn't know what to do but he did know that there was a beautiful girl in the den by herself waiting for him to return.
"Hey Alfred thanks for the talk now if you'll excuse me there is a beautiful girl in the den waiting for me to come escort her to dinner but until it is ready I'll be keeping her company. Oh before I forget, Alfred did you notice someone following us on our way here. So if someone comes to the door let me get it okay I want you to stay with Hinata and make sure that she's alright and to keep her calm, okay Alfred?" Alfred just smiled and said yes he would and then Naruto went back to the den to keep Hinata company until dinner was ready all the while wondering where Bruce was.
And speaking of the dark knight, he and the other members of the justice league were investigating a weird disturbance downtown that involved a lot of snakes and explosions. Now that league was use to dealing with things blowing up at them on a daily basis but dealing with snakes popping up out of nowhere now that's another story. The league at the moment was dealing with giant snakes popping up from the ground causing all sorts of trouble. Now many of the people from Gotham City were use to weird things happening on a daily basis, heck there's an insane asylum in their city filled with some of the worst screwballs in the world, also they were use to dealing with any super villain that seems to crawl out of the wood works from space or Metropolis. But this is too much. Now lets join our heros as they come face to face with the leader of the Sound Village.
"This is why I don't like SNAKES!!!!" Shayera swung her mace at a giant copper head that tired to eat her. Diana was having a similar problem but this snake looked more like a cobra and was spitting acid like venom from its mouth.
"I THOUGHT SNAKES DIDN'T GET THIS SIZE?!?!? I THOUGHT THEY WERE ONLY ABOUT FOUR TO SIX FEET LONG OR LESS THAN THAT?!?!? THESE GUYS ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF THREE SKY SCRAPPERS, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?! Diana was trying her best to avoid the cobras fangs and its acid venom. Flash was putting his speed to good use and tried his very best to lead the snakes out of the city (and possibly over the nearest cliff). Superman, Batman Green Lantern, Vixen, Green Arrow and Black Canary were having similar problems with the snakes especially one giant purple and black one that was in a bad mood and wanted blood (or the head of the man that summoned him which ever came first). As things were looking bad for the league it turned worse when a certain snake sanin showed up to cause more trouble.
"Well, well the legendary Justice League I was hoping to run into you soon, for you and I have some business I wish to discuss" The League then saw to them had to be the most scariest man alive, well second scariest next to Batman.
"Are you the one that sent all these snakes here to the city? If so remove them now before more lives are lost and this city becomes a wasteland." Superman tried his best to reason with the snake sanin but he failed. Orochimaru just gave them an evil smile and continued to talk.
"Actually that is the plan or at least until I find a certain blonde idiot that has slipped through my fingers for the last three years. You see I'm looking for a blonde ninja to take him back to my home and take care of him. I'm also looking for a girl that has run away from her home and her father is here too looking for her...." As Orochimaru continued to talk Batman took out a device that Naruto came up with that will allow anyone to check to see if the person is lying, human, or crazy. It had been tested on three people, one was the Creeper, the other was the Android and the final person was one of Gotham City lawyers (AN. Okay with this one Naruto wanted to see if Lawyers were as low and underhanded as Bruce told him most were). As Batman was scanning Orochimaru he was not surprised to see that the readings for this guy were off the scale, but what freaked Batman out was the readings that said that part of him wasn't human. Before this could go on any longer Batman decided to intervene.
"Nice little story, now why don't you try telling the truth this time. For starters why don't you tell us the real reason why you are here and what does destroying thousands of lives hope to give you. And believe me the next answer that you tell us had better be the truth cause-," Batman was cut off by an explosion from behind him and he and the others had to move quick or else they would have gotten caught in the blast. But to everyone's surprise what had cause the ground to crumble like that was no bomb, but the inhuman strength of a certain pink haired ninja who was not too happy to see the snake Sanin at the moment. Behind her were several other ninjas one being Shikamaru who came to stand next to Batman to fill him in on what's been going on so far.
"Hey Batman, sorry for being late, had to take care of a few things. I see you meet up with the Leaf Villages most wanted Ninja. Let me guess he's here looking for Naruto, right and he gave you a bogus story in hopes that you would believe him right?" Batman nodded and help the others get up and try to snap Flash out of the trance that he was in.
"Hey is he going to be alright or does he need a doctor?" Shino appeared out of nowhere and came to stand behind Shikamaru to see if everyone was alright and to make sure that Sakura didn't kill anyone with that punch.
"Okay Batman could you tell me who these guys are and how you know them and Diana could you tell me if the girl with the pink hair is a friend of yours?" Before Diana could answer Superman's questions five more giant snakes popped up from the ground and began spreading through the city.
"Look we can talk later right now we have to stop those snakes before they destroy the whole city. Lantern call the tower and tell Jon that we need every available member down here now tell him to tell everyone that this is a Alpha level alert and to move...FAST!" Batman had to move quickly for someone had thrown kunais in his direction.
"Oh so you are as fast as the rumors say you are. Not bad for an old man, tell me how long do you intend to hide our dear little Naruto and his little girlfriend from us Batman? You and I both know its only a matter of time before his power belongs to us, that is if Hiashi doesn't kill him first, which will be in about twenty minutes by the way." The Leaf Nin and the Justice League looked around to see where that voice was coming from. To Sakura's horror and Sasuke's disdain, the voice came from Kabuto a man that both Sasuke and Sakura hoped to never see for a long time like for the rest of their lives.
"Oh well hello Sakura, Sasuke I see both of you are well. Tell me Sakura has your arm mended from our last meeting dear or does it still hurt when you twist it my dear?" Kabuto put on a sick sadistic grin as he saw Sakura shake with fear. To bad he failed to notice Sasuke's eyes had turned blood red with black tomoes swirling around. Sasuke was seeing red and wanted blood, preferably Kabuto's. For Sasuke never forgave the man for putting Sakura in the hospital after beating her within an inch of her life, then put her through a genjutsu that not only nearly destroyed her mind but almost caused her to kill herself for what she was shown. To this day Sasuke still doesn't know what she saw or what happened to her mind but all he knew was that Kabuto would pay dearly for what he did to his Sakura.
"Kabuto you picked the wrong day to crawl from what ever rock you crawled from and show your face, cause when I get my hands on you I'm going to rip you in half you sick bastard!!!!" Sasuke then moved to drag Sakura behind him and keep her away from the mad man.
*Beep-Beep-Beep*
"What is it Naruto we're a little busy right now" Batman looked at the vid-watch on his wrist to see what the problem could be.
"Well Bats here's the thing, I've been sensing a weird energy around the house and its powerful. I'm not worried about myself, but I'm worried about Hinata. I think she knows who it is and this person is scaring her. Tell me have you guys seen anyone like that around?" Batman then looked too Shikamaru and asked him.
"Shikamaru didn't that Kabuto person say that a man named Hiashi is looking for both Hinata and Naruto?" Batman suspicions were confirmed when Shikamaru nodded.
"Diana, Shayera I need you two to head for my place and help Naruto. Hinata's father is heading there with an intent to kill. When you find him don't kill him, just make sure that he doesn't go anywhere until we can figure out what is going on." Neji stepped up to the dark knight and told him why his uncle was here.
"Batman-san I believe the reason my uncle is here is to end Naruto's life and to put the caged bird seal on her, like I have and put her in the branch family. The other reason would just be to kill and finish what Luther and his goons couldn't finish three years ago. Allow Kiba and myself to go with Diana-san and Shayera-san. I know my uncle and just how deadly he can be. Please allow us to help." Batman knew that they were going to need all the help they could get and he had no idea just how strong Hiashi was.
"Alright, Diana, Shayera, these two are going to go with to help Naruto, I just have one request and that's to make sure that this uncle of yours is alive long enough for me to deal with him" Neji nodded and he, Kiba, Akumaru, Buck, Diana and Shayera all left and headed towards Wayne Manor.
Meanwhile Naruto was doing his best to keep Hinata calm and assure her that everything will be alright. Too bad all his efforts were in vain for Hinata could not stop her fears and worries. Hinata knew that something or someone was heading this way and had a strong urge for blood. Hinata couldn't help but worry. Hinata was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't notice Naruto come into the room and stand right behind her.
"Huh, oh sorry Naruto-san I just had this awful feeling that something bad is about to happen. I'm sorry for not paying attention to you. I must be the worst house guest that you have ever had." To Hinata's surprise, she heard Naruto laugh, and saw him lift her chin so she can look him in the eyes.
"Don't worry about it Hinata. And to be honest your not the worst guest that has come to this house, Alfred and I can think of a few that were much worse. So don't worry about it, now come on dinners ready and I'm here to escort you to the dinner table, miss Hyuga" Hinata just laughed as Naruto gave a bow and extended his hand to hers in a way to make her feel betterr. And it worked, and Hinata forgot about what was troubling her.
*Shift to after dinner and back in the den*
Naruto had taken Hinata into the den to talk more about what she would be doing while she was working for him and what to expect. During his talk with Hinata he noticed that the evil presence that he was sensing earlier was back and more powerful than before. Hinata noticed that something was wrong and held a determined look on his face which did not go unnoticed by Hinata.
"Naruto-san are you okay, you look like something is wrong. Are you okay?" Naruto turned to Hinata and was about to say something when-
*CRASH!!!!!!*
"ALFRED!!!!!" Both Naruto and Hinata ran to where the crash sound came from and found Alfred coming to check on them. When they arrived where the crash was heard, Hinata found that it was caused by the one man she had hoped she would never see again for the rest of her life (or his, which ever came first). For there before her was her own father ready for battle and out for blood.
"Alright I don't know who you are, but this is private property and I'm going to have to ask you to leave, for if you don't I'll force you to leave myself and buster believe me, I'll be more than happy to show you the door" Naruto was trying really hard to keep his temper under control and not kill this guy. Hinata was having another problem, for she was crossed with telling Naruto the truth about everything that is going on or keeping quiet and hoping that nothing bad happens tonight. Boy was she wrong on both accounts.
"Listen boy I'll deal with you later, right now I'm here for my bitch of a daughter behind you. Hinata, you are to come home right now and receive your punishment for disobeying me, young lady." Hiashi failed to notice how tense Naruto had gotten as Hiashi continued to talk and degrade Hinata right in front of him. Naruto also noticed how upset Hinata was at the moment and he would have struck Hiashi down and beat him to death if Hinata didn't have a firm grip on his shirt and noticed that her hands were shaking while she was holding him.
"Hinata-san tell me, is this the creep that put your cousin in the hospital and has been hurting you for all these years?" Naruto was furious when he saw Hinata nod her head yes. "So you're the bastard that Hinata has told me about today, and you're the one that put his own nephew in the hospital and has done nothing but made both their lives miserable. Well I got good news and bad news for you, the good news is you got one last chance to see the light of day, but the bad news for you is you won't live to see another one after I'm through with you!!!!" Naruto didn't know why but just being in the same room with this guy made his blood boil. Before Naruto could do anything to this man he turned to Alfred and whispered to him what he needed him to do.
"Alfred I need you to take miss Hyuga away from here and take her back to Shikamaru's place and stay there with her. Wait until I call you to tell you everything is alright, okay?" Naruto knew that he couldn't fight at his best with others around and he knew that Hinata was frightened of this man so taking her to Shikamaru's place was the best thing he could do.
"Understood Master Naruto. Miss Hyuga follow me this is no place for a lady such as yourself and Master Naruto is right, you need to be safe." Hinata was about to protest when she saw a familiar dog and foxes hidden in the shadows. Hinata knew that everything was going to be alright. So she left quietly with Alfred and drove straight to Shikamaru's.
"Now that Hinata and Alfred is safe I can fight at full power against you." Hiashi didn't see Naruto move nor did he see him directly behind him when he felt a pain in his neck. Only after being thrown through the wall did he notice.
"Not bad, for a demon brat. Tell me how much do you know about what you hold in you kid" Hiashi didn't know what he was getting into. For Naruto had trained for three years under the best and strongest super heroes in the universe and he intended on showing Hiashi just how strong he was.
Meanwhile Diana, Shayera, Neji and Kiba all watched from the shadows to see what was going to happen in this fight. Before they got there Neji had informed them just how deadly his uncle could be, but he also told them just how deadly Naruto could be in a fight (since he knew first hand what it felt like to be on the receiving end of Naruto's fist).
"I still say that we should be helping him, I mean I know you told us how deadly your uncle is, but shouldn't we try to help him, and what the heck are you doing with your eyes?" Shayera was trying to reason with the two Ninjas when she noticed Neji had activated his byukugan and was scanning the area. Once he saw that Hinata was away from the battle field he turned to the others and told him why they had to wait.
"Shayera-san the reason why we are waiting is because unless my uncle actually succeeds in taking down Naruto, we must remain here. My one concern has already left and is safe but for now we must be ready to strike if my uncle is successful in defeating Naruto." Diana and Shayera both knew something was not right about Neji's uncle as they watched the battle wage on.
"You know something that we don't, and why is Naruto slowing down, and why is he breathing so hard? What's happening to him Neji?!?!?!" Diana noticed that Naruto wasn't fighting the way he usually did when he was helping the league.
"It's what I've feared, my uncle has blocked his chakra network and its becoming harder for him to fight. Now is the time for us to interfere. Naruto won't last much longer and if we don't act now my uncle will end his life." With that said Diana, Shayera and Kiba followed Neji in hopes of stopping his uncle from killing Naruto.
Hiashi was quite surprised to find not only his nephew (who was alive) here but two members of the justice league. Before he could do anything, he barely dodged Shayera with her mace and Diana with her fists. While both ladies tried there best to make Hiashi pay for what ever he did to Naruto, Neji went about the task of reviving him while Kiba, Buck, and Akumaru went to help Diana and Shayera.
"Come on Naruto you have to wake up, don't you dare die on us now. You still have a lot you have to do. Hinata still needs you so don't you dare give up on us. I will not see her unhappy for the rest of her life, so open your eyes Naruto please, for Hinata's sake." Neji got a big surprise when Naruto did indeed open his eyes, but was shocked to find that his eyes were blood red.
As Diana and Shayera were about to knock Hiashi out they noticed two things, one Naruto's eyes had changed color and two there was sand all around them.
"What in Hera's name is going on here, first snakes now sand. WHAT IN APOLLO'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!" Diana and Shayera then found that the sand had come from a giant gored that was hanging from the back of a kid that looked like he had permeant insomnia.
"So Hiashi Hyuga you have finally shown yourself. Tell me do you think that the god of death with be forgiving of you for all your crimes when you meet him?" Out of the shadows came Gaara of the Sand along with his two siblings who looked like they were ready for battle.
"What is the Kage of the Sand doing here and what business is it of yours of what I do any way?" Hiashi was surprised when he found that both his legs were trapped in whirlpool of sand. He also failed to notice just how pissed off Gaara was.
"You are Wonder Woman and Hawk Girl right? Naruto is an old friend of mine, please take him someplace safe, where he can calm down. The only person who could calm him down is a miss Hyuga, take him to her and don't worry. His eyes will go back to normal once the danger has past, but for now find her. Temira will go with you to help you find her, now hurry" As soon as Gaara said those words everyone began to notice a strange energy surrounding Naruto and they knew that Gaara was right.
As Shayera and the others left to find Hinata, Gaara turned around to finish his fight with Hiashi. As he faced the man that would probably be dead once he and the Lady Hokage got through with him, he said only one thing that chilled Hiashi's blood to the core.
"Tell me how does it feel to be the helpless one now Hiashi?"
Meanwhile Neji and the others found Hinata just before she could get to Shikamaru's apartment. Neji explained everything to her and told her what Gaara had told him. After that Neji left to go help Sasuke and the others, while Kiba stayed along with Diana and Shayera. About twenty minutes later Naruto begins to wake up and is greeted by Hinata's face.
"Here, what happened, where did your dad go?" Hinata helped Naruto sit up and then began to tell him what happened.
"Well Naruto you might want to ask your friends that are in the living room, and to answer your question as to how we got into Shikamaru's apartment, he gave me a key before we left for dinner. Are you feeling better?" Hinata noticed the blank look on Naruto's face and feared the worse.
"I think so Hinata, but I think that it would be a good idea to get you out of the city and away from your father for some time, until he gets a clue. I think now would be a good time for you to start working since you me and Shikamaru will be going on a business trip to Metropolis. This way we can get away from the city and I could get to know you better what do you say Hinata?" Naruto just grinned at her and waited for her answer.
Hinata had to think for a minute, true Shikamaru did bring her here to help jog Naruto's memory, but what would happen if her father followed them and no one would be able to stop him. When Hinata looked into those blue loving eyes of her crush she knew that everything would be fine.
"My answer is....yes Naruto-kun"
*AN. Wow now the action will be in Metropolis, home of the man of steel. And things between Naruto and Hinata are getting better. And their relationship will get better in the next chapter. I apologize to all of my faithful and loyal readers out there for not updating sooner. Last month was finals month and my mind was on that rather than fan fiction but now that its summer I'm free to write with a clear mind. Please let me know what you think of this chapter and until next time Ja ne!!!!*
