Chapter five/ The turning point

The sun was rising now giving the sky a powerful golden flush of color. Morning had arrived with a flicker of motion, and the cool stream was warmed underneath the golden assembly of light. The forest was thick to the left of them and fish picked at the fallen corpse of the ANBU staff that lay motionless in the stream to their right. Hinata ears rang trying to adjust to the excellence of her healer. The blood had dried giving birth to rusted colored lines of brown that ran down the side of her head and escaped into her hair. Her captor walked in circles around her lost in thought. He seemed to be thinking very hard about his next move, one that Hinata hoped wouldn't result in her death. Her eyes rolled up into the multicolored blues of a fresh morning outlook, and she thought about Naruto's smile.

Sakura watched from the shadows still trying to comprehend what she had just witnessed. A boy no older than herself had killed an entire ANBU squad like they were nothing. She had never before witnessed a power so strong in someone this young, yet it was undeniable. She looked over the greenery and watched as Hinata's burns receded more and more. The medic was skilled and he let his hand sweep over the girl's body with the care of a child. He was a pale looking boy with dark circles around his brown eyes. He wore a long white tunic over blue ANBU attire. His own image contradicted the mysterious boy's in so many ways. If they were wolves, he would be donned as the lesser male off of appearance alone.

Sakura was grateful the young girl was okay, but she did not know what to make of their current situation. The unknown boy bore the sound's insignia on a forehead protector which sat above his brow, but that didn't necessarily mean he was an enemy. One thing she had learned about Orochimaru was the fact that nothing was ever as it first appeared. She edged dangerously closer trying to magnify his words. His image grew in size and his outline filled out a little more. The by whom killed the ANBU soldiers had a more solid build, much like that of Sasuke. He actually looked as if he could be a shinobi, as if he belonged to this life. Sakura strained her ears against the sound of voices and rushing water trying to distinguish between the two.

"My name is Rain Hikata. You will follow… Damnit I almost forgot something," The boy wielding the peculiar sword talked stepping away from the group.

Rain Hikata, with sword in hand, walked over to the young woman whom he had attacked first and knocked unconscious.

"I guess I held back a little too much charka," He said pointing the hollow end of the sword at her head. Sakura looked at the irregular shape of his weapon and wondered about its unique design. The swords hilt wasn't at all reformed to a traditional style. It was almost mechanical in comparison. She had witnessed giant weapons of similar design. The boy's sword had a red handle with a black trigger and a seven-shot revolver. The blade itself was a good size with black circular encryptions along its torso. He squeezed the trigger and a great flash of red light hit the girl right between her eyes. Smoke rose from a dark whole in the center of the woman's head. Blood ran down into the red earth that was exclusive to the sound territory, and Sakura looked on in horror.

She knew now that Hinata wasn't safe in the boy's hands. He had killed the woman without even wincing. She considered him nothing more than a murderer, looking past his child like appearance; he was cruel to fine point. The medic looked on, more nervous than ever. Tears flooded his eyelids and short sobs of grief burst from his mouth.

"Now where was I… Damnit I hate when this happens! Medic, where was I," he asked tapping the long three feet blade against his right side.

"Y-you where t-telling us your name s-sir," the medic stumbled through sobs. Tears ran down his face and soaked into Hinata's purple jacket.

"Right! Good job, medic. I'll kill you fast if I have to," Rain said with kind eyes.

"Please sir, I don't want to die!" the medic whined forgetting about his patient. Tears ran down harder than ever as he wept for mercy.

"Wow! You're a ninja for crying out loud. Stop, crying and I'll make sure nothing happens to you," Rain argued looking at the older boy with antipathy. Death at the hands of another shinobi while fulfilling your duties was one of few honorable passing; it was obvious this young man saw differently.

The medic wept in sobs of gratitude, for a second it even appeared as if he were going to try and kiss Rain's feet. Sakura watched from the shadows her face flooding with color. She felt embarrassed for the ninja; he was making a fool of himself.

"My name is Rain Hikata and I give all of my guppies two options. You can either follow each and every direction of mine or you can face my gunblade, Armageddon… and just because you're a girl doesn't mean I won't kill you. Well, I guess I didn't need to say that last part," he said indicating the two girls he had already openly slain in front of her.

Hinata shook her head showing she recognized his position of authority and was willing to comply with his demands, and he surprisingly answered with an almost candid grin.

"I think Tenken will be pleased, maybe she'll finally give me that date she promised," he said to himself.

The last of Hinata's scars faded in a vapor of smoke and the medic rested his already sweating palms. Hinata's side was still sore but the medic had done a good job all things considered. Her hearing had returned to normal and she felt as if she could once again use her Byakugan.

"Well I think we should start moving," Rain said with an air of urgency.

Hinata winced at the comment. She knew she could only act in accordance with his orders but she hadn't been given the proper time to come up with a suitable story. She was surprised that her captor had not asked her any questions.

Konoha

"Dante has arrested Kiba Inuzuka, Hokage. Our operatives inside are trying to make his stay in the dungeon as easy as possible, but… they have killed Akumaru. Kiba is taking it pretty hard." The young blonde said reporting to her superior.

Tsunade sighed rubbing the creases in her visage. Dante was becoming more and more of a problem. She didn't want to bring Konoha into a state of civil war yet, options were running low. Dante was weeding out the rebellion. Every day they lost soldiers. Every day a sad song was sung.

"This on top of Sakura and Hinata playing the vigilante; where the hell is Jiraiya? I was promised his help."

Ino Yamanaka did not audience a response noticing its rhetorical nature. Times were hard for their small rebel faction, and now the villagers' opinions were being swayed by the antagonist, security had become a problem. It was no longer easy to discern friend from foe. Their home had taken on a new feeling. A trickster had worked his craft and fooled their hearts.

"Will you still be departing to help her…? I do believe your needed here more, now than ever. We will fall without you Lady Hokage," Ino said looking into the woman's auburn eyes.

Ino had grown a lot during two years. She was about 5 '5' with long blonde hair cascaded into a golden ponytail with olive green eyes. She wore a short bright purple tank top with a matching skirt, netted knee guards and matching elbow pads. She was one of the few people that reported to Tsunade directly because she, along with her long time friend and rival Sakura, was an apprentice of the legendary sannin. Her medical skills didn't quiet match up with Sakura's own talent in that field, yet she was a dedicated student and natural leader.

"Lady Hokage, please allow me to assist Sakura… She is my dearest friend and I will not fail either of you."

Tsunade looked at the girl with a quizzical expression. She had definitely recognized the girl's growth, but a mission of this magnitude seemed like too great of a risk.

"I am sorry Ino, but that is out of the question. I can not risk losing you."

"Lady Hokage, I promise I will return with Sakura and Hinata. I never break my promises and that my lady is my way of Ninja."

Otogakure

Rain paraded into the village, acknowledging an awaiting crowd of kids. They embraced the boy with shouts of admiration. He just smiled, glowing in the presence of his spectators. Hinata was surprised to say the least. She had always imagined Otogakure as a dark place with a portentous aura, but what she got was smiles and laughter. Her grey eyes caught the eyes of waving children and even she couldn't help but smile. They waved their arms frantically trying to grasp her attention, and they shouted comments of awe and wonder trying to capture her interest.

"That's the Otogakure office up-ahead," Rain said pointing a russet colored finger at a large dome shaped structure. Purple banners were strung about the edges with the Sound symbol decorating the plain design. It was a fair white building that looked suiting for a Kage.

"Rain I see you've caught a beauty," An older teen said with a wide spread grin. Hinata blushed, turning a deep shade of red. The boy smiled at her winking his left eye. He had short brown hair with a light brown complexion and a shout muscular build. He wore a long black sleeveless jacket with a pale crescent moon design.

"David, stop flirting with my prisoner!" Rain snapped shoving the amused boy aside.

"Everybody's a comedian," Rain commented watching his friend disappear in the distance.

Rain, Hinata and the medic walked the streets of the village for a good ten minutes before their arrival at two large doors; which bore Otogakure's symbol in big bold Japanese letters. Rain knocked on the door with an almost erythematic repetition of blows; soon after, they were welcomed by a soft child like voice.

"Who is it?" The voice bluntly asked.

"Rain Hikata, and I also have two prisoners with me."

The jingle of bolts and chains being withdraw from the hefty door were heard and then the doors swung open revealing a small girl in its wake. Hinata was more confused than ever now. Since she had arrived she had not bore witness to the presence of a single adult figure, and to have a child positioned at the very entrance to the Kage's office seemed like a careless choice. She wondered now if her assumption of Orochimaru being the Otokage was correct, but with his arrogance he would allow a child to be stationed at the doors.

The Office was very different from Konoha's Hokage office. It had strange painting on the walls, and many of those paintings seemed to be representing the village's various clans. The pictures were crowded with adults whom seemed more fitting for her previous assumptions. They seemed very dark in form, with eerie shadowed eyes.
A forbidding feeling was creeping up her stomach. She couldn't stop her fear from being present as the climbed the musty smelling dark stairs.

Rain no longer bore his smile and the medic had resumed an annoying twitching habit. They came to stop in front of a set of twin widespread sturdy oak doors and Rain pushed his way through.

The Otokage's office seemed smaller in comparison to the Hokage's own but that may had been do to the fact that it was crowded with many unfamiliar weapons. Hinata even noticed an appalling design of a weapon similar to the one Rain carried. There was also many fancy and expensive looking arms and trinkets lying about the walls and furniture. The Otokage peered at the group behind a white veil and a pair of crimson eyes. His gaze paused on Hinata, and in an instant fear overcame the young girl entirely. An icy feeling crept up her spine looking into such eyes. They seemed to represent the very embodiment of malice.

"What have you brought me Rain," A whisper-like tone escaped form underneath the white veil.

"Well this is one the ANBU medic's-"

In an instant a knife ripped through the medic's stomach and he fell to the floor dead. Blood fell from the wound in a dark puddle on the floor. Hinata' looked in horror now noticing something that she had swept over at first. The floor had a great number of dark spots of the same.

"Fuck! I promised him a pass Naruto!" Rain screamed in anger. Hinata couldn't believe what she had just heard, but the Otokage ripped off his veil showing the all-too familiar face of the young hero, she looked into the boy's fiery eyes and was mesmerized by the white fangs that extended past his lower lip.

"Hello Hinata."
