Chapter 2:

The group was now inside the house of Hotaru Saki, and they were all seated on the floor.

"Ah, I should prepare some tea." Saki was about to stand up when a hand stopped her.

"It is unnecessary; we aren't planning on staying long." Yamato said, letting go of her hand. (He was the one who stopped her since he was sitting in front of her)

"So, what is the favor you are asking?" the woman said politely, getting straight on the point.

"We came from the shrine where the founder of the River Country's remains is kept. We heard that your grandmother was his wife." Yamamoto answered, explaining at the same time confirming the facts.

"Yes, but that was before she married my grandfather." Saki replied not quite understanding his purpose.

"Our purpose there was this scroll; it may contain extremely important information about an S-class assassination group but regrettably it can only be opened by someone who is in the bloodline of the founder. And because of the possibility that you have his blood we want you to try to open it." Kakashi explained taking out the scroll.

"I see…" Saki agreed, but still full of doubt about it.

The two shadows became clearer; it was Itachi and Kisame (the most famous pair in the Akatsuki). Both ready to attack and all out battle.

"Who are they?" Hinata asked looking at them with her keen eyes.

"The one on the left is Uchiha Itachi, he is Sasuke's older brother and on the right is Hoshigaki Kisame, he is a former member of the Seven Swords Man of the Mist, he specializes in using water ninjutsu what is more dangerous is his sword that could absorb the opponent's chakra if hit." Kakashi warned.

"It's been awhile Kakashi-san, Sakura-san. It's about time you come with us Naruto-kun." Itachi said politely emotionless while pointing at Naruto.

"Yeah, it's about time that, that nine tailed fox kid to come to us." Kisame said smirking at them.

"You think we will hand him over to you." Sakura said irritated at their cocky behavior.

"You will hand him over, by force that is." Itachi said his face still stony as ever.

"Mind if we change the location?" Kakashi said remembering that they were near a village.

"Fine, that doesn't change the fact that we are going to have Naruto-kun." Itachi said confidently. Therefore, kakashi jumped on to a tree and they followed him. Yamato is jumping behind Naruto and Sakura and Hinata are beside Naruto so that they cannot have Naruto while they are relocating and Itachi and Kisame are far behind. Kakashi led them to another place and they stopped there. Then Kakashi adjusted his forehead protector and activated his Sharingan (Sharingan is a bloodline limit only to Uchiha Clan; Kakashi's Sharingan is from his former teammate who is Uchiha Obito).

"Let's begin." Kisame said while smirking. Therefore, they began fighting, Hinata while her Byakugan activated, and she saw how much chakra Kisame has so she said that…

"That guy Kisame has a humungous amount of chakra; I have never seen anyone who has that much chakra." Hinata said while pointing at Kisame. They began to battle and Kisame used a jutsu that made lots of water then he made waves.

Kisame was spiting out water from his mouth until there is plenty of water he can control the water so he directed his waves to them then he rode on the waves.

"He made water using his vast chakra." Hinata said a bit terrified at her opponent's strength.

"But this isn't time to talk about that." Naruto said panicking a little.

"Everyone jump as high as you can." Kakashi said so they all jumped as high as they could before they know it they are faced with numerous fireballs going straight at them.

"(Fire Element, Fire Phoenix technique) Katon Housenka no Jutsu." Itachi took a deep breath, when he released his breath fireballs came out him mouth. The fireballs were already after the Konoha shinobis when they landed.

"This is bad, can you take care of this fast Kakashi-sempai." Yamato said panicking a little.

"It's alright I can take care of this." Kakashi said while forming hand seals then he copied the attack when the two attacks reached each other it caused an explosion that blocked both parties sight except one person who is Hinata. And they fought against each other they threw one attack after another. Itachi and Kisame always used combination attacks but Yamato and the rest only used one attack after the other.

"These guys have no sense of combination, right." Kisame said to Itachi,

"Let's let them see how combination works." Itachi Said while Kisame agreed to his idea. So Kisame used a jutsu to make them disappear in the fog.

"Hiding in the fog huh. We can't predict what they are thinking at all." Yamato said.

"Where are they? Naruto asked Hinata.

"Wait I am already finding them. There they are they are 10 miles west they are only standing there as if they are waiting for something." Hinata said alarmed (well who wouldn't be they are against Akatsuki).

"Hey, everyone watch out dozens of fireballs are coming." Kakashi said while dodging the fireballs. Everyone was alarmed; they dodged every fireball they see. One fireball grazed Sakura but it wasn't a fatal wound.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Naruto said in a worried voice. When Naruto spoke those words everyone placed some of their attention to Sakura but still looking at the enemy and waiting for their next attack.

"I'm okay Naruto, it only grazed me, more importantly the enemy." Sakura said in a hurried voice.

"Hiding like a coward, because of you Sasuke left the village and Gaara died once." Naruto said spat his anger welling up as the Kyuubi Cloak slowly emerged, they all distanced from Naruto.

"What is that, N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata worriedly asked cause this is the first time she had seen it (Actually, she had never seen anything like it!).

"Kyuubi Cloak of all times why now." Kakashi feared this and it is already happening, Naruto's uncontrollable in this form.

"Kyuubi Cloak?" Hinata curiously asked looking at Yamato for answers.

"This isn't the time to explain; right now our first priority is Naruto-kun!" Yamato yelled panicky, seeing the second tail form is dangerous. Hinata just nodded.

"Naruto." Sakura said with tears in her eyes, fearing Naruto going berserk again and end up hurting himself before they backed away from Naruto.

"Hmm, so that is what he could do being the jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox. He looks like a miniature Kyuubi I think those tails will soon be nine." Kisame said while he smirked. The Kyuubi's Cloak has just reached three tails. Naruto released chakra like wall that will blow away enemies. Itachi and Kisame backed away a few miles and dodged it.

"That was a close one. But recklessly releasing chakra like that won't hit." Kisame said non-chalantly.

"Are you sure we don't have to stop him?" Sakura said frantically.

"No, not now because Naruto's body will be damaged after Yamato seals the Kyuubi inside then it will be easy for them to take Naruto." Kakashi Said very seriously.

"But if the tails reach four Naruto cannot control himself his mind will temporally be consumed by the Kyuubi, and we might get attacked too, besides his body will take much more damage. We can protect Naruto!" Sakura said frantically, after she said that they all looked in horror when they saw that the fourth tail form. When it formed, Naruto was now shedding his skin and his blood is mixing with the Kyuubi's chakra, and it made a pressure that almost blew them.

"This is bad." Yamato said while using a jutsu to make a shield. Hinata heard it and from being so shocked that her most admired Naruto is in his current state she is not moving at all. When the shield was finished, Hinata was not inside it.

"Hinata-chan, come over here." Sakura shouted to Hinata, Sakura snapped Hinata to her senses.

"Hai." Hinata said before she came inside the shield. "Is Naruto-kun going to be okay?" Hinata asked, because she can see the Kyuubi inside Naruto and worried about his current state now.

"Yes, he is going to be okay if he doesn't stay to long in that form. And as long as he wears the First Hokage's necklace I can suppress the Kyuubi's chakra." Yamato said while his sweat dripping from his face.

Itachi and Kisame cannot let themselves unguarded because the impact will be too strong and they would receive far too much damage so Itachi also used a jutsu to make a shield for them but their shield is made of rock.

"Geez, that'll be fatal if we did not do anything." Kisame said. "Now it's our turn." Kisame said as he smirked. They used combination attacks now to Naruto.

Hinata and the rest were completely ignored. They did not try to assist Naruto because if they do maybe they will also be attacked. Itachi, Kisame and Naruto are slowly moving farther and farther from Hinata, Sakura, Yamato and Kakashi.

When they are out of sight Yamato made a wood clone to follow Naruto while Sakura and Hinata healed Kakashi and Yamato's wounds and also tended their own wounds. Hinata also learned medical jutsus but almost only the basic healing jutsus. She also wanted to learn because she always felt insecure of being able to give assistance to her teammates. They now followed Naruto and the rest.
