Ok, this is the new chapter...sorry for such a delay but i've been rather busy but still, here it is...make sure to review since i only got one review for the last chapter... :(

LETS GO

"Hyuga Hinata, step away from Uzumaki Naruto.", the lead Anbu in a wolf mask spoke in a rather civilized voice void of any emotion. For a second, neither Naruto nor Hinata knew what to do.

"Hyuga Hinata, i repeat for you to step away from the jinchuriki, you are no longer kidnapped by him", wolf repeated, taking a step forward. But when Hinata failed to move and activated her byakugan instead, his thoughts were proven right. He had suspected that the only way the jinchuriki had managed to escape from them was with help...and now he knew who the help was from.

"Very well, if you won't then we have no choice but to-"

"Stop", Naruto interrupted as he tried desperately to stay on his feet.

"Am not fighting, you can take me in", he whispered almost sorrowfully, hating what he was doing. Even though he couldn't fight, he would have still loved to try. And more importantly, he couldn't put Hinata into the troubled situation he was in.

"Unfortunately, only one of you is expected back alive".

With that, the lead Anbu sent enough shurikens straight at the weakened blond. But before it could hit, Hinata stepped forward,l spinning slightly and deflected them away, allowing them to stab the dirt ground harmlessly. The Anbu paused, observing Hinata through eyes which seem to contain no soul.

"Huyga Hinata, your actions will draw bad consequences, step aside.".

Keeping her composure, Hinata remained where she stood in front of Naruto, ready to defend with her life. Slowly, she stood in the normal Hyuga battle stance and activated her doujutsu. Her veins bulged out at the sides of her face as chakra flowed into her eyes.

"I won't let you hurt him", Hinata said almost a whisper which the wind carried away. To anyone else, it would have been nothing but the wind, but to the trained ears of a shinobi, it was as clear as a drum. Naruto stared at her, not knowing what to say or think. He just stood there looking at her as she fell into a stance, like a fierce tiger, ready to rip anything to shreds, but he knew that it was impossible...defeating an Anbu team alone be impossible. If only he was not almost totally wiped out of energy, he would have helped her.

"Hinata, you can't-", Naruto stopped with wide eyes as he saw the lead Anbu close the gap to the Hinata within the blink of an eye and sent her crushing into a tree.

"HINATA", NAruto shouted as he struggled to stay up but fell, his strength draining much further and faster. He pushed himself to stand up but paused when he saw the Hyuga heiress begin to stir and stand up, determination in her eyes.

"Stand down Hyuga, you can't be able to-", the Anbu leader stopped as Hinata charged at him again. The leader was no rookie, he knew what Hyuga's were capable of. He motioned for his team not to get involved and within another second sent the Hinata down again without too much effort. But again, the girl slowly stood up.

"I...I won't...le...let you...hurt Na...Naruto...kun", with that and blood dripping from a cut on her forehead, she charged forward again, but was ready this time.

'I can't fail in front of Naruto-kun...I won't fail", she mentally told herself as she dodged a punch from the Anbu leader. Before wolf could attack again, Hinata stepped forward, drawing out a kunai with her left hand and slashing wildly. This was easy as the lead Anbu, wolf, blocked it effortlessly...big mistake.

"Hakke kuushou", Hinata shouted as she sent a wave of chakra which hit the opponent at point blank. It hit wolf right on the chest and...

POOF!

The man vanished and was replaced by a log and, Hinata gasped and looked up and could only look on in horror as her opponent stood on a tree, already gone through some seals.

"Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu". A huge wave of shurikens hurled themselves at Hinata. She knew straight that she couldn't go into the kaiten at that moment. With nothing much she could do, Hinata closed her eyes and...

BOOOM!

Her eyes flew open to find Naruto standing in front of her, his body shaking tremendously. For a second, she didn't know what happened but noticed a small crater in front of Naruto. So, Naruto had used as explosion to deflect the flurry of shurikens.

"She's...not...part...of...this", Naruto said through huge breaths as he formed his favorite seal. The exploding clone had already done his last chakra reserve but...

"Kagebunshin no jutsu", he whispered right before falling face fist onto the ground. he was completely out of breath.

The Anbu leader landed beside his team.

"The Hyuga is mine. The rest of you take out the jinchuriki". And with that, the Anbu charged forward, ready to do their jobs. Two threw a series of kunai at the fallen Naruto. The blond, not being able to will his body to move again, did the only thing he could...wait for the attack to hit and hope that it ended everything quickly. But before anything else could happen, the whole area was engulfed in sand.

"This stops here", a figure said within the sand. A smile curved its way onto Naruto's face for the first time in a long time. This was one person he could definitely trust and call a friend.

"Good to see you.", he whispered before finally allowing the darkness to welcome him into unconsciousness.

"Sasuke-san, Orochimaru-sama would like to see you", Kabuto said as he stepped into the Uchiha's dark room. Sasuke was sitting quietly in his room but decided not to move.

"What's it about?", he said in his careless tone.

"He'll speak of it to you alone", the student of the snake said with a rather strange smile and left, leaving Sasuke alone to ponder over his thoughts. He knew what Orochimaru's plan was, the snake wanted his body...or more importantly, his eyes. A smirk appeared on the Uchiha's face as he made a conclusion on what he was to do. Slowly, he stood up and moved until he came to the snake's chamber. Opening it, his eyes fell upon the weak and diseased man who needed a new body laying on a bed.

"Sasuke-kun, kukukukuku...", Orochimaru chuckled as Sasuke slowly closed the door behind him.

"Time for the final part of your training Sasuke-kun", the snake sanin hissed out. Sasuke merely smiled, knowing what was to come. Orochimaru had definitely been too naive than to notice that nothing was ever perfect.

"Orochimaru, it's time i end you", the Uchiha said calmly drawing out his sword of kusinagi. The snake sanin just looked at him with a mixture of anger and amusement.

"Kukukukuku...do you think you can defeat me, Sasuke-kun?...kukukuku", Orochimaru asked, not noticing the maniacal smile on Sasuke's face. The door again slowly opened to reveal another person in glasses. The snake on seeing who it was knew exactly what was going on.

"Kabuto, you choose to betray me?".

"No Orochimaru-sama. I only seek to become greater than you. I only seek an identity for myself. And Sasuke-san offered me the chance.", Kabuto said as he adjusted his glasses properly.

"Orochimaru, after this moment, you'll seize to exist. The hawk always stands over the snake.", the sharingan wielder said right before his sword was infused with his lightning based attack, chidori.

"I'll kill booth of you.", the snake said in anger before coughing knowing full well that in his current state, he was at a huge disadvantage against an Uchiha and someone who knew almost everything about him.

"It's very unlikely that you'll live after this, Orochimaru-sama", Kabuto said calmly before closing the door quietly. The three sanins were to be no more.

Naruto rubbed his eyes as he saw clearly where he was. A slightly flooded hallway leading to a huge prison. Slowly, he made his way towards it, knowing full well what it held behind the rusted bars.

"Came to see me again?", a deep and powerful voice rumbled from within, causing Naruto to stop, anger and pain in his heart.

"Hmmmmm, is that a thirst for revenge i see in you? Do you thirst for my power?", the voice sounded again, almost like the rumbling of thunder on a stormy night.

"Why? Why did you kill him?", the blond whispered almost sorrowfully and keeping his eyes on his flooded feet. A deep chuckle came right before two red eyes appeared in the darkness of the cell, causing Naruto to stumble back a little.

"Killed him? That puny human who tried to fight me? Hmmmm, as much as i'd have loved to say yes to that, the only truth is that the one truly killed is...Uchiha Madara.".

Naruto stumbled backwards again as he remembered that name. It was the name the Kyubi had roared before he had lost control.

"Who is he?", Naruto asked, causing the great bijuu to chuckle again...more sarcastically causing ripples in the water from his voice.

"Someone i wish to kill myself. Now if you released me, i'll make sure he-"

"You're not getting out.", Naruto spoke and turned around as he begun walking away causing to bijuu's anger to rise. It bared it's huge canines.

"Well, that man still died...".

Naruto paused at those words from the bijuu.

"...and his blood is also on you too", the Kyubi added menacingly.

The blond's fingers wrapped around into a fist as those words floated through him.

"He used his life to re-create the seal in order to protect you.", the beast spoke within his cell, causing Naruto to feel more pain. He really did feel responsible in a way...his decisions had led to this particular situation and that was something he couldn't change. First Tsunade...now Jiraiya.

"HIS BLOOD IS ON YOUUUUUUU".

The blond's eyes snapped open as he bolted into a sitting position with a sweaty body. Trying to calm his ragged breathing, he slowly looked around to find himself in a hospital room. From one glance out the window he could easily see where he was. Sunagakure. Deciding to check how well he was, he slid himself from the bed and stood on his feet and stretched them. He felt rejuvenated right before the door slid open to reveal a red haired guy around his age with eyes that seemed to stare into a person's soul. This was his friend, a person who he knew would always be there for him.

"Seems you're already up and about.", Gaara said as he stepped into the blond's room.

"Yeah", Naruto said with a smile as he brushed his sorrow aside. His mind snapped.

"Where's Hinata?", he asked, trying to hide the worried expression from his friend but failed miserably. Gaara who had easily read through Naruto's worry gave a rather rare smile and nodded.

"She's fine, she's been with Temari for the last two days...though she's been here more than-"

"WHAT?", Naruto shouted, almost comically causing an earthquake. Two days? He'd been out for two whole days?

"You were almost completely drained of chakra. Your body needed time to get itself back into a normal state.", Gaara said as he begun to walk out with Naruto following.

"Hinata on the other hand wasn't too badly injured with the exception of a few bruises and minor cuts.", the sand Kazekage continued as the boy followed him. Soon, they were out of the hospital's interior and on the roof looking over the desert city. Looking over, Naruto could see how beautiful Suna really was...but that was not what he wanted to have in his mind.

"Gaara, how did-"

"-we know where you were?", the Kazekage concluded Naruto's question before the boy could finish. Keeping his gaze on the village, Gaara spoke.

"Jiraiya-sama told us. He had one of his loyal contact in Konoha's line-up keep us informed. A few days after you were captured, he informed us of something strange going to happen. He also informed us of the alliance between Konohagakure, Iwagakure and possibly Kumogakure. And since Iwa was always known to be in touch with Akatsuki, it can be logical to assume that Konoha, Iwa and Akatsuki are allied with each other.", Gaara explained causing Naruto to think a little. Konoha being allied to Iwa was something he knew...but with Akatsuki, that was something he hadn't thought of. And what was their plan. Then something clicked slightly in his mind. Wasn't Orochimaru used to be part of Akatsuki? Wasn't Sasuke part of Orochimaru's faculty?

"Danzo", he whispered causing Gaara to nod his head in approval.

"Yes, Konoha might have no idea of what they are involved in, except the Hokage", the red haired Kazekage said, still keeping his gaze on the village he was to protect till death.

"The only thing left is to find the motive behind this web.", Gaara said slightly mysteriously causing Naruto to flinch at the change of mood. The only was to find their motive was to infiltrate either Konoha or Iwa...and that itself wasn't an easy task. Naruto was about to speak but stopped...he was about to protest against doing anything for Konoha but paused...it wasn't the village's fault...it was someone else's fault. And the only name he had was Uchiha Madara...but he wasn't sure it was time to release the name yet.

"Lets go Uzumaki, your girlfriend will be waiting for you.".

"ok...wait...what? SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND", the blond shouted as he followed the red haired out.

Hinata sat calmly on her bed as she looked at her ninja clothing which lay beside her on the bed. She was currently in a kimono that Temari had provided for her. She had wanted to go and see Naruto today too but found herself lacking the will power to go there. Something deep within her caused her to feel a bit of hate and anger towards herself. Hate that she'd left Konoha and seemingly shamed her clan and betrayed her friends. She was sure by now she would have already been rated a missing nin of the village. But somehow, she also didn't care. She didn't care because at least she could help him. There was a knock on her door. Feeling rather lazy, she got up and went to the door and opened it. She immediately blushed a fierce red as she saw who it was.

"Hinata, how are you doing?", Naruto asked flashing one of his big smiles. Immediately, a rather fiercer fire red blush rushed over Hinata again, she couldn't speak.

"Uhhh...hey. i was wondering if...if you'd want to come with me eat, uhh i mean eat me with...i mean-".

"S...su...sure, i'd...i'd love...to", Hinata ended it all with a smile and the blush still on.

"Ok...ummmm...i'll pick you after sunset", Naruto said and walked away wondering why he had been so nervous. He brushed it aside thinking of what he was going to tell Hinata.

On the other hand, once Hinata's door closed, she fell flat on the floor...fainted but with a smile.

Two figures emerged from a room thoroughly tired but able to stand. Two figures.

"You can take his body for your experiment...just be ready for my next move".

"Sure, i'll only take two or three days to finish preparing that jutsu", one said as he walked away with glasses on.

"The hawk has been born", a cold voice spoke with red eyes with three tomoes.
