Author's Note: I'm a little disappointed since I received less than half of the reviews I got for chapter 2 on chapter 3. If there's anything I'm doing wrong or that I can improve on please let me know. Despite my pleas for suggestions, I still haven't gotten any so again, PLEASE REVIEW!!

Chapter 4

Naruto was unconscious, that much was obvious to him. What he couldn't understand was why he seemed to be reliving his memories while he was unconscious. They started from the most recent memories, mostly involving Hinata, and progressed back through the years. Meeting Gaara, Itachi abandoning them, Itachi training he and Sasuke, his first kill, waking up one night as a vampire… nothing.

At that point, it felt like a brick was pounding on some invisible door in Naruto's mind. It was trying to go deeper but was being blocked…

"Stop" said one of the interrogators.

The circle of hunters broke the mind reading jutsu and relaxed. Many were short of breath and had beads of sweat running down their faces. The head interrogator Ibiki Morino stared down at the blonde haired vampire stoically. Inside though, he was silently panicking. Could this boy really be…? He turned to his second in command, Anko Mitarashi who gave him a silent nod and walked out the door.

"We'll pick up again after a consultation with the higher ups." said Ibiki, "Get some rest."

Minato had received the report of the captured vampire some hours ago. However, being that the anniversary of his son's death was coming up and he wasn't in the best mood, he had simply told the interrogators to "deal with it". It was early morning and Minato had fallen asleep at his desk.

Jiraiya knocked on the door to the Hokage's office and decided to let himself in when he didn't receive a reply. He gave a small smile when he saw his student snoring away. How that man ever went on stake outs without being detected was beyond him.

At that moment, Anko walked into the room, "Hokage-sama."

Minato woke up and blinked blearily at the two people in his office, "What is it?"

"It's about the vampire that was captured last night. We performed a mind reading jutsu on him and frankly… the results are a bit disturbing." Anko replied.

"How so?" Minato asked.

"Well, for one… his memories seem to just start when he became a vampire. It seems all his memories of his human life were blocked out." she said.

Minato sighed and rubbed his head. Jiraiya could see his student wasn't up to dealing with this at present.

"How about I take care of this? Minato?" Jiraiya offered.

Minato smiled at him, "Thanks sensei."

Jiraiya walked through the halls of the interrogation compound following Anko. Suddenly she stopped and turned around.

"Jiraiya-sama. There's something I think you should know. I didn't want to tell Hokage-sama because I was afraid of how he'd react, but if you decide to tell him after this, that's up to you. The vampire was captured by Neji Hyuuga. After scanning his memories, it appears that the vampire was in a relationship with Hinata Hyuuga. His memories also revealed that he is traveling with two other vampires who are still hiding in the village."

Anko paused to let this information sink in before dropping the real bomb. "Jiraiya-sama, one of the vampires still at large is named Sasuke. The vampire we captured is named Naruto. It seems they were both turned and trained by a vampire named Itachi."

Jiraiya stood there with his mouth wide open, practically shaking at the news he'd just received, "Take me to him." he instructed.

Anko led Jiraiya down a side hallway into the prison block. Jiraiya had to confirm it for himself. If it was true… he didn't know how he'd tell Minato. They stopped at a cell with very poor lighting where Jiraiya could make out a figure sitting on the floor against the wall.

"Is he awake?" Jiraiya asked.

"Not yet. But the chains are silver plated so you can go in if you want." said Anko.

Jiraiya nodded and Anko unlocked the door. He walked into the cell and slowly made his way towards the shadowy figure. His heart started to beat faster when he saw blonde spiky hair. He bent down to get a better look at his face. He stopped and took a step back however when the vampire started to stir.

The vampire let out a small grunt and looked up at Jiraiya. His eyes were bright blue. Jiraiya was face to face with a paler, fanged version of Minato as a teenager.

"Naruto…"

The vampire's eyes narrowed, "How do you know my name?"

Jiraiya closed his eyes and sighed, "So it's true… You don't remember anything do you? Was that Itachi's doing?"

"How do you know Itachi?!" the blonde demanded.

Jiraiya turned and walked back towards the door. "Hey! Hey!" yelled Naruto.

Jiraiya ignored him as the cell door was closed and he and Anko walked a little ways down the hall.

"Is there any chance of recovering his memory?" Jiraiya asked.

"With some preparation and a powerful jutsu, it can be done but… What do you hope to gain? He's a vampire now…" said Anko.

Jiraiya glared at her and walked back towards the exit.

Hinata was terrified. She was going against everything she had ever been taught. She shivered as she approached the abandoned building. It was midday and the sun was high in the sky so if she had to run at least they wouldn't be able to follow her. She eased open the door and headed for the basement.

Upon entering, she didn't find two sleeping vampires as she expected but one furious black haired vampire and one seemingly annoyed red haired vampire who sat closed eyed against the wall but was obviously awake.

Hinata gulped and addressed the black haired vampire that was glaring at her, "A-are y-y-you S-Sasuke?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "I suppose you're the one Naruto has been sneaking around with?"

"I-I'm H-H-Hinata." she thought it better not to mention her last name.

The red haired eyes snapped open, "I smell delicious blood."

Hinata gasped and took a step back towards the stairs, "P-please, Naruto's i-in d-d-danger. H-he's been c-captured."

Sasuke put an arm out to stop the red haired vampire who had been coming steadily closer, "No Gaara. She's Naruto's. You know what he'd do if he found out you ate her."

Gaara growled but listened to Sasuke. Even he was afraid when Naruto got angry.

Sasuke turned back to Hinata, "Tell me… Hinata. What has the idiot gotten himself into this time?"

Author's Note: Anyone figure out why a chapter that takes over an hour to write takes only five minutes to read? Well, at least this one's longer than my last one… I think… Anyway, hope you enjoyed, please review!
