So this is the new chapter..i decided to bring the other characters into the story. Am still in search of a Beta, so please please please, can anyone help me find a good one?

Two says later…

The thirst had been getting stronger and harder to control or forget…the need for that red of chaos, hate and blood. Naoki clenched his teeth together trying not to let his mind dwell upon the beads of sweat dripping from his face as he tried as hard as he could to control himself. At least, he did not want to expose his condition to his master. The deep purple haired man slumped into the seat as he clearly shook; tormented by the thirst he seemed to be agonizingly going through. The addiction was still deep on his mind, the taste still on his tongue. He needed to find the Kyubi's jinchuriki…he needed to find Naruto. He needed what the boy possessed deep within the dept of his soul…and he knew exactly how to do that, but it would be against his master's trust and that was something he was never going to spit on.

Danzo sat calmly in his office, one of the few buildings which survived, with the night all around him. It had been two days now since the tragedy. Two days of sadness and pain in the heart of the village devastated and harshly trodden upon. Nothing would ever be the same for the village. Even though they'd lost countless lives, the toll on the shinobi numbers was not too bad, Konoha still had a lot of shinobi left. The only problem was the cost of building and renewing infrastructure lost in the battle…and finding a way to repair the spy network since Jiraiya was dead.

"Trouble?".

Danzo kept his composure, not answering the question of the man hidden in the shadows. Truthfully, he hated this man, but what he was willing to offer was worth living with the hate.

"So, to get me to make my decision, you push me to a tight corner", Danzo spoke, showing signs of his intellect. He already analysed the whole thing.

"Hmmm? Seems you catch on quickly. With Konoha hit like this, you have no choice but to accept my offer.", the figure said, knowing he was particularly correct. And as much as Danzo would have loved to know he had two options, he knew he didn't. The attack on Konoha would make the village vulnerable to attacks from other villages plus he had to put the possibility that the shadow could have another attack up his sleeves. Two shinobi nations, the idea was always intriguing…and if he played his cards right, Konoha would become the only shinobi nation and ruling the whole continent would be his.

"I accept the alliance. ", he said calmly keeping his one eye on the point where the shadow was. Slowly a figure stepped out with a mask on with just one eye visible.

"Good, in a matter of days, I will have information delivered to both the Tsukage and you on which shinobi nation would fall first. My men will handle the nine jinchuriki", and with that, the figure disappeared, leaving nothing behind except a chill running down the Hokage's spine…something didn't feel right…something was strangely off. The flash of lightning in the distance made his mind race with tension. He hoped everything would work out perfectly.

Foot steps sounded, almost sluggishly from exhaustion as Hinata waded through the forest panting in the heavily drenching rainy night. A slight shiver run through her as a cold breeze crawled over her. The Hyuga girl was tired and drenched but yet she continued walking…with a worn out body and strength almost extinguished , she continued, all for the sake of the blond who's head was slumped on her shoulder. Another stumble and she felt the tiredness getting worse. Carrying an unconscious Naruto for two days was no easy task…and carrying him for two days whilst running and trying her best to keep themselves one step ahead of Anbu was something else. They'd been pursued from the moment she picked up the boy and dashed away from the village's outskirts. They had used a good tracking team and Hinata relying mostly on her Byakugan had done her best to keep them off her path and now that it was raining, she was sure their scent and tracks were gone. Truthfully, she didn't know where exactly they were but all she cared was that "he" was safe, she had at least done what she promised, to rescue and keep him safe. Another stumble and she fell with Naruto handing beside her on the wet and muddy forest floor. The lightning flashed followed by the thundering sound of its presence signaling that more rain was to come. Slowly, Hinata stood up, and with a huge stress managed to pick up Naruto and placed him back on her back, carrying him. She needed to find shelter, so with a sigh, she activated her eyes and let it scan the area until she found what she was looking for, a cave at the base of a steep mountain. She moved to it and within a few minutes was inside its dryness laying Naruto carefully on its rocky floor. Slowly and gently, she removed her only source of warmth leaving only her fishnet inners. Quickly, she squeezed it, using a little chakra to help get rid of most of the water from her jacket. Then she laid it on Naruto not wanting him to get too cold. After another perimeter scan with her doujutsu, she sat next to him and slowly let herself drift into an uncomfortable sleep, hoping against everything that everything would be fine…but she knew better that everything had now changed…she could never go back. She drifted into sleep.

Everything seemed peaceful, no sign of pain or hurt or its dead fingers creeping down his frail body, Naruto stirred. Slowly opening his eyes and facing reality was something he did not want to do, just staying in the darkness with no thought of anything was what he wanted yet he knew that he had to wake. His eyes inched open, letting the painful rays of the sun hit him and cause a slight pain in his heart. A slight sigh escaped his lips as he slowly pushed himself to a sitting position, letting a jacket which had been draped over him fall. A cave, but how did he…he paused as his eyes fell upon a figure sleeping with hands wrapped around in an attempt at warmth.

"Hinata?", he whispered but not enough to wake the girl up. Wondering what she was doing here, he slowly pushed himself up trying to stand…big mistake. He fell back down hard with enough noise to wake up Hinata who stirred and slowly opened her eyes. For a second none of them said anything with their eyes meeting and no one trying to take them off. Naruto stirred from his position and tried sitting up again.

"What are you doing here?", he asked in an almost emotional voice as he sat down.

"Uhh, y..you were..un…unconscious…so…so, I helped…you", Hinata said in a stammering way.

For a second Naruto didn't have anything else to say, but just feel confused. No matter how hard he tried not to believe her, he knew that she was telling the truth, he could see it in her eyes. With another renewed strength, he pushed himself up, and this time, he remained standing in his tattered clothing. Without saying anything, he staggered to the entrance and tripped but managed to keep himself standing. Hinata stood up and rushed forward…

"Don't…don't come near me", the blond said, his eyes closed, he didn't want any help from anyone…no help.

"But…but, you're not…strong enough", Hinata whispered as she cowered back. Something wasn't right about the Naruto before her…he seemed different.

"Not strong enough", Naruto whispered bowing his head slightly making Hinata feel a bit saddened by her own words…she hadn't meant to mean it that way.

"Not strong enough, huh? Not strong enough to ever realize the truth about me. Not strong enough to realize that I was nothing more than a stupid joke to everyone in that village. Not strong enough to control what's inside of me. Not strong enough to realize the hate everyone had for me. NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO-"

*SLAP*

Everything grew quiet after what Naruto felt Hinata slap him. He could feel the sting it caused…but it only aided one thing, anger him more.

"Am going…you can go back to Konoha too, for all I care. ", the blond whispered almost still in anger and begun stumbling away, trying his best not to fall. He couldn't even see the tear on Hinata's cheek.

"I left Konoha to save you."

He paused. For a second, he didn't believe he'd heard what he thought he'd heard. He turned around to the entrance of the cave to see Hinata putting on her jacket with her face looking down. For a second, he just stood there and watched her begin to walk away.

"Where'll you be going from here?", he asked causing her to pause but not give an answer. With a deep breath he opened his mouth to say something but paused…something was.

A figure landed in front of him. Hinata turned and faced the figure and noticed who it was. Two four more figures landed.

"This is bad…really bad.", Naruto hissed with his heart beating rapidly.

They were surrounded by Anbu.
