A/N: Hello all! Apparently I broke the 4th wall too much… Sorry I just wanted to test the limits on that, besides not every chapter can be a great one. Anywhooo! I say it's time I wrote some ACTION! And I really have to review for spelling errors… Ah well, lets get started!
P.S Remind me to never go cactus raping with Sancho ever again…
"What the hell happened to my godson?" Jiraiya roared as he slammed his hands on the desk of the hokage. The man had spent the entire month helping Naruto train, and he had learned some very… disturbing things about his student.
Sarutobi merely sighed, "So you have been training him," he muttered.
The white haired man snorted in annoyance, "Of course I trained him! Now, would you mind telling me why he's a murdering psychopath?" he nearly shouted.
The hokage merely glared at Jiraiya, "And since when does Naruto's well being concern you?" asked the old man in a scolding tone.
"I'm his godfather! I-" Jiraiya stated but was cut off by his sensei's killing intent.
"You have no right to claim that title!" Sarutobi snapped, "You have never cared about Naruto! You never came to visit the boy, came to see how he was doing and you sure as hell weren't there to protect him!" the hokage accused.
Jiraiya blinked at that before glaring right back at him. "And you were?" he shot back, "Seems to me you've done nothing to protect him besides making that stupid law, which didn't change a damn thing!"
"HOW DARE YOU?" roared Sarutobi, his killing intent and fury causing Jiraiya to cringe while the hidden ANBU fought the urge to flee in terror. "Do you have an idea how much I have done for that boy?" he shouted.
Being who he was, Jiraiya spoke what he thought. "Not much it seems," muttered the man. The next thing the Sannin knew, he had been backhanded across the room by his sensei who was shaking with rage.
"YOU WILL BE SILENT YOU INSOLENT FOOL!" screamed Sarutobi. "Let me ask you something Jiraiya, how does a murdering psychopath become a shinobi, how does he stay out of an asyum and jail? Tell me Jiraiya, HOW?"
Jiraiya sat there, puzzled and scared as he stared at his old sensei. However he couldn't deny the facts that stared at him straight in the face. In all reality, Naruto should have never become a shinobi, and he should have been locked up or terminated years ago. Yet he wasn't in an asylum, or a grave and he was a shinobi, but how? The answer, Jiraiya realized, was standing in front of him.
"You?" he asked in wonderment, his finger pointed at Sarutobi.
"That's right," Sarutobi stated, "me,"
"B-But how? Why?" Jiraiya asked. "You're the hokage, your job is to protect the village from people like Naruto!" Jiraiya exclaimed.
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at that. "Are you saying you'd have preferred Naruto to be killed?" he asked lowly. Jiraiya shook his head no furiously and asked, "How did you do it though? Surely the council must have protested and tried to get rid of him, right?" asked the toad sage.
Sarutobi gave a grim chuckle as he walked back to his desk and sat down. "It wasn't easy, I will tell you that much," he murmured, "I had to constantly remind the council that Naruto never murdered anyone, he merely defended himself, of course there were some deaths that couldn't be called anything but murder" he sighed, "Next, the victims who survived had to be taken care of, have their memories repressed so more civilians wouldn't go looking to exact revenge, of course not all of the survivors remained the same after the attacks," Sarutobi said as he made a swirling gesture next to his ear.
"They went insane?" Jiraiya guessed.
"Some did, others committed suicide and the rest are mere hollows of what they once were, getting your legs blown off at the kneecap can do that, and that's probably the least horrible thing he's done to civilians who tried to attack him," the hokage stated, "Tell me Jiraiya, have you ever seen a man hanging from a hook by his own tongue with all of his toes and fingers skinned to the bone?" asked the hokage.
Jiraiya only shook his head no.
"Have you ever met a man whose eyes were ripped out and replaced with glass orbs, then those same glass orbs shattered while still inside the sockets?" asked Sarutobi, "How about three men all tied together by the neck with barbed wire with their hands joined together by sharpened sticks?"
Jiraiya swallowed some bile in his throat at that, "And these are the survivors?" he asked.
"Yes, but none of them remember who did it, they do remember certain pains and someone's laugh but as for who did it? Nothing," Sarutobi stated, "As for how I got him to be instated as a shinobi," here he paused and pulled open one of his desk drawers, Reaching in, the old man pulled out a file labeled 'Uzumaki, Naruto' "Take a look at this file and you can see why he's a shinobi,"
Puzzled, Jiraiya took a look inside and what he saw surprised him greatly. The file contained details of Naruto's techniques, abilities, chakra levels and so on and so forth. After reading through it, Jiraiya could only look at his sensei in amazement.
"He can really do all this?" he asked.
Sarutobi nodded. "He can walk through shadows and appear in virtually any place he wishes, his healing factor makes him nearly indestructible and his intelligence rivals that of a Nara master strategist. He knows how to mess with a person's head, he's completely ruthless with his enemies and a damn good interrogator," Sarutobi clasped his hands together and rested them on his desk, "Couple this with a powerful summoning contract, the fact that he's a walking squad and he has the power of a demon at his disposal and a fair knowledge of jutsu, well, connect the dots for your self," Sarutobi stated.
Jiraiya frowned slightly, "So they let him become a shinobi because he could become legendary with all he's got in his arsenal," the man stated.
"There's one other reason," Sarutobi said softly, stopping Jiraiya from leaving. The white haired man turned to see his sensei's eyes covered by the traditional hokage hat and a pipe lit and clasped between his lips. "I made Naruto a shinobi for two other reasons besides what I've told you, and both were from different emotions,"
"What are they?" asked the toad summoner.
"First, it was out of guilt, I made him one because that's what he wanted and because I felt I owed him that much," Srutobi paused to take a few puffs, "The second reason is because a person like Naruto needs a purpose, a focus if you will, without one, he would most likely destroy this village," he stated gravely.
Jiraiya stared at him with slightly fearful curiosity, "And what emotion was that reason linked to?" he asked.
Sarutobi lifted his head ever so slightly and stared at Jiraiya with one eye. The lone eye of the fire shadow gazed at his student with the utmost seriousness and grim truth.
"Fear," he whispered.
Chuunin Exam Stadium, Day of the Finals
The village was a buzz with excitement and energy as everybody rushed towards the large gray stadium where the final exams would be held. It was built like any other stadium except with some higher walls to protect the spectators from any jutsu or weapons. Standing tall and proud was most of the final contestants, the genin that would fight for the title of chuunin. However two boys were missing, one being Naruto Uzumaki and the other was Sasuke Uchiha. This was not lost upon the spectators, nor the people seated in the hokage box.
"Hmm, it seems the Uchiha has yet to arrive, same for the other boy, what was his name again?" inquired the Kazekage seated next to Hiruzen. The wind shadow wore the standard robes of any kage but with a green trim white robe and a white three-pointed hat with the kanji for wind on it. However another difference was that he wore a face-mask, leaving only his eyes barely visible.
Sarutobi merely shrugged and spoke, "They both share a sensei who is constantly tardy, and it wouldn't surprise me if they are a little late," stated the old man casually. "I'm surprised though," he began, watching with a phantom smirk as his fellow kage's hand twitched ever so slightly, "Why would you be interested in them? Shouldn't you be more interested in seeing how strong your own children have become?" asked Sarutobi in an innocent and curious voice.
Without missing a beat the Kazekage chuckled lightly and said, "I have the utmost confidence in Kankuro and Gaara, but it's such a shame my daughter couldn't make it to the finals," the man shrugged lightly, '"Besides, other than the one who beat Tenten, that Uzumaki boy and the Uchiha are said to be very strong for their age, hell, I can't mention either of their names without someone either shivering in fear or grinning in pride," he finished.
Sarutobi just smiled and nodded lightly, 'Well played my old student, well played' thought Sarutobi as he looked back onto the arena. The proctor had just introduced himself and asked that all contestants besides Hinata and Naruto leave the field. The demonic psycho had yet to show yet.
"Would Naruto Uzumaki please kindly get your ass down here!" yelled Genma, the proctor. There was silence, but in the distance, a muffled boom could be heard. However, it was ignored by the majority of people except for a red haired woman seated next to a purple haired kunoichi.
Hinata smirked and arrogantly flipped her hair over her shoulder, "Ha! Seems like the freak dropped out!" she declared. The crowd started to murmur in agreement but two very devious females couldn't keep the grins off their faces as they mentally counted down.
'5… 4… 3…'
Genma sighed and was about to call the match when he heard a sound. It was a distant sound, and hard to make out, but slowly it got louder and louder. Soon he started to hear… a battle yodel?
"Yodelaldayodalooo!" yodeled the voice loudly causing everyone to look up and see a blur with smoke coming off it, hurtling like a missile towards the arena floor.
"DATTEBAYO!" screamed the blur before colliding with the ground. The sound was like that of thunder, and the shockwave shook the entire structure to its foundation. A giant cloud of smoke filled the arena, causing many to cough and squint to see what the hell landed.
As the smoke cleared, there laid the mangled remains of what looked like Naruto Uzumaki. It looked like he had broken everything in his body. His elbows were snapped inwards while the fingers on his right hand were all crippled and broken. His legs seemed busted at the knees and his left ankle was facing the wrong way. His front was on the ground, but Naruto's head was completely twisted around, a maniac grin on his face as well as a pair of broken goggles, the left glass being shattered and the right being cracked.
People could only stare in surprise at the apparently dead corpse, however the silence was broken by the huff of a certain girl.
"Hmph, seems like I win anyway," Hinata commented dryly, "Proctor call the match," she stated while walking away.
Genma sighed, "Winner is-" he was cut off by a rather horrible sound though. One many a shinobi and civilian knew with horror.
It was the laughter of the broken, the laughter of Naruto Uzumaki.
Hinata whirled around and with shocked eyes watched as Naruto laughed, still very much alive. With sickening snaps and pops, the boy's arms straightened out and flexed a couple times before grabbing the legs and yanking them back into correct position. Then, the feet snapped back into place, all the while, Naruto continued laughing.
Slowly the body began to rise, the front of it facing Hinata but the head still twisted backwards.
Naruto slowly brought his hands up to grab his head. Slowly, with pops and snaps of sinew and bone being set back in place, the head was returned to its proper position with Naruto grinning wolfishly at Hinata, his head slightly tilted to the side and his demonic eyes boring holes into her own calm lavender ones.
For a time they just stared at each other while the entire stadium was overcome with absolutely terrified shock, sans a few people of course.
Up in the stands where the genin, both competing and non-competing, a good portion couldn't believe their eyes. 'That's… That's just not possible!' thought a completely petrified Shikamaru, and it showed on his face. Chouji dropped his chips in shock and half chewed food fell out of his gaping mouth. Neji was mildly impressed while Lee could only look on in amazement, thinking that if he had that ability, he'd be healed by now and training once more. Ino and Sakura had long since vacated the area and were now hurling their guts out in the restroom. Kiba was trembling while Akamaru relived himself on top of his master's head.
Tenten on the other hand pouted slightly, "Nii-san's such a show off," she muttered under her breath.
Near the kage booth Zabuza chuckled slightly. His outfit hadn't changed much at all except his pants now had forest camo instead of the grey and white and of course the Konoha headband on his head. "Kid sure knows how to make an entrance. Haku, whose wardrobe had changed into that of a Konoha hunter nin's, merely nodded her masked face.
"Amazing!" breathed the 'Kazekage', "I've never seen someone do that before, just what is he?" asked the robed man.
"He's Naruto Fucking Uzumaki!" shouted a voice causing the two leader's to snap their heads to the side and see a rather interesting group heading their way. This group was none other than Naruto's familiars, Kyuubi in human form and Anko.
"Hey Ojii-san! Mind if we watch from here?" asked Ko from atop Senso's shoulder. The hokage merely shrugged and the group turned their attention to the field, where Genma had officially announced the beginning of the match.
Hinata took up a Jyuuken stance and glared at Naruto, who was absently cleaning his ears.
Hinata scowled at her opponent, assessing on how best to take him out. She watched her opponent carefully, assessing what skills she knew he had and what else he could possibly do.
"If you plan on staring me to death, you may want to switch doujutsu, try the laser eye one or maybe the one that makes you look less like a bitch!" Naruto shouted at the girl, getting a couple gasps and giggles from the audience.
Hinata frowned at this and activated her clan's coveted bloodline. The veins around her eyes strained till they were visible to everyone while the hazy outline of a pupil appeared in her eyes.
"Don't toy with me, trash," she stated.
"Trash am I?" asked Naruto with a grin, "Well they one man's trash is another's treasure but a bitch will always be a bitch," Naruto shot back with a grin. This time almost every jaw in the stadium dropped except for one group in the Kage box.
"HA! Suck on that Hyuuga bitch!" Anko shouted with Senso and Kyuubi nodding in agreement. Chie chuckled while waving his fan. Kuro just rolled his eyes, though no one saw.
"Yeah! Suck it bitch!" Ko shouted happily then he turned to look at Senso, "What's a bitch and what does it mean to suck it?" he asked with childish innocence.
The group froze while Chie grinned. "Well Ko-"
"Don't even think about corrupting him Ero-Chie!" shouted Anko and Kyuubi smashing their fists into his head.
Ko blinked in confusion and was about to ask again when Senso clapped a hand over the child's mouth, "You're too young to know boy," he deadpanned.
Back in the arena, Hinata was livid and decided enough was enough. With impressive speed, the heiress closed the distance between them and shot an open palm towards Naruto's heart. However, the demon boy easily dodged the attack, his body from the waist down becoming a black mass of shadow.
Slightly surprised, Hinata shut down her Byakugan, as the sudden flux of chakra had blinded her. This allowed Naruto to quickly back hand her away from him with a laugh.
"Strike one!" he declared.
Growling, Hinata dashed back at him, palms aglow. Quickly she struck for his shoulder, chest and stomach in an upward traveling combo, but alas, Naruto weaved through it all with ease. Once again he backhanded her away.
"Strike two!" he declared.
Growing angered, Hinata activated her Byakugan and went for one of her clans best and most famous attacks. Charging forward she feinted to strike, but luckily pivoted so she was behind Naruto.
"You're within my field of Divination," spoke Hinata clearly. "Eight Trigrams! Sixty Four Palms!" she shouted out and thus began her assault on one Naruto Uzumaki.
"Two palms!" she called, attempting to strike Naruto. However the boy dodged the two palms.
"Four palms!" she shouted, hitting Naruto only once but she mentally grinned.
"Eight palms!" He only dodged five.
"Sixteen palms!" Naruto barely dodged three this time.
"Thirty-two palms!" He only dodged one.
"Sixty four palms!" Naruto thought one word.
'Fuck'
Deactivating her bloodline, Hinata leapt back with a satisfied smirk on her face and watched with glee as Naruto's body slammed into the ground. Turning the young heiress looked towards Genma, "Proctor. Now you-" however she was cut off when a bullet grazed her cheek. Surprised she looked to see Naruto, standing once more.
"Nice try princess," he boasted, "But you'll have to do better than that!"
Hinata growled in annoyance. "How are you still standing?" she demanded.
Naruto laughed at her, "I've got more chakra than I know what to do with, so close them off all you want, I'll just keep getting back up!" he shouted while flipping her the bird.
This infuriated Hinata. "Lets see you get up from this!" she declared as she rushed towards him. Naruto however had different ideas.
Going through a few hand seals, Naruto inhaled deeply. He waited, gathering as much chakra as he needed and when the Hyuuga was halfway to him he released a fireball of extreme proportions. Instead of dodging it, Hinata just ran straight towards it.
"What the hell?" Anko shouted, "What idiot runs straight into a fireball like that without some kind of flame retarded suit?" she asked.
"I think the word you want is retardant," Chie stated, only to get knocked into the ground by the woman.
"No talking, pervert!" she yelled while stomping him into the dirt. Feeling that justice was served, the interrogator got back in time to see just why Hinata hadn't dodged.
"This gives a whole new definition to the term, 'Smoking hot Babe'," Anko deadpanned.
And indeed it did because Hinata took Naruto's attack and turned it against him ina most interesting way. Once she leapt out of the fire, the grey haired boy barely dodged Hinata's flaming palm strike. Many in the stands were shocked at what they saw because Hinata Hyuuga was literally on fire, or to be more accurate, was wearing a shroud of flames.
Naruto laughed as he got back on his feet, "Now things are getting fun!" With that, Naruto launched himself at Hinata, uncaring for the searing flames that she sent out to intercept him. Laughing, the demon boy dodged and weaved through the flames and soon reached the center of the firestorm. With a howl of glee, Naruto allowed his hands to form into their demonic forms and went for a slash towards her eyes.
Hinata however leaned back and followed through, going into a back handstand and striking Naruto's chin with her foot. Righting herself once more, Hinata took one step forward and thrust both her hands forward, palms facing Naruto. With an explosion, Naruto was sent flying back and landed in a heap.
"Seems like she's almost mastered it," Senso murmured under his breath. Unbeknownst to him, a similar conversation was taking place in the VIP booth.
"Father, what was that technique Ane-sama used?" asked young Hanabi Hyuuga, younger sister of Hinata Hyuuga and the spitting image of the Hyuuga personality. On the surface she was emotionless, calm, intelligent and perfectly stoic. She wore simple clothing, a blue V-neck shirt with a mesh blouse underneath and simple shorts of a dull blue with simple sandals upon her feet.
A man of moderate height and wearing the robes of the Hyuuga clan head glanced at her with the white blank eyes of most Hyuuga before focusing back on the fight. "It is a somewhat advanced move of Jyuuken, however it is far from completion," he stated.
"What do you mean not completed? That seemed like a pretty powerful attack for being unfinished," Tenten pointed out to her teammate.
Neji merely shook his head, his hate filled eyes never straying from his cousin's form. "That move requires far more chakra behind it, her control is perfect as is the manipulation required but she lacks the power to perform it," he stated.
"And what exactly is it called?" Anko asked Senso. "She called it-"
"Gentle Step, Twin Lion Fists," muttered Hinata under her breath; internally berating herself for the fact she had yet to fully master it while her fire shorud slowly vanished. "Now are you going to stay down and accept your place like the filth you are or are you going to get up and try again?" Hinata asked the prone form of Naruto.
Naruto just chuckled as he drunkenly got to his feet, stumbling slightly while his head remained bowed. The boy's clothing was in tatters; the soles of his shoes had melted in the heat from the attack, his pants were burnt to shorts and his legs were covered in angry red marks and scorch marks. His vest had been completely obliterated revealing his chest and arms, which were equally damaged like his legs. Not even his glove had survived the attack.
Naruto slowly lifted his head, his yellow eyes twinkling dangerously as he grinned. However Hinata took a step back in fright, not at his eyes or grin but at the right side of his face had been scorched off and was slowly healing. "You know, I really don't like getting burned, messes up my complexion and dries out the skin," he stated nonchalantly as his cheek slowly reformed.
Hinata frowned as her opponent refused to stay down. "Why do you keep getting up? You have no chance of beating me," she stated.
Naruto laughed as his face finished healing. Leaning down the boy tossed his shoes off and hopped on the balls of his feet. "Because where's the fun in giving up?" he asked "If I just gave up then what? Roll over and die? That's boring!" he shouted before whipping out his gun from god knows where and firing a youki infused bullet at her.
Hanata saw it and stepped to the side, completely unaware of the explosion that launched her forwards. Surprised, she could only watch as Naruto punched her dead in the face, sending her back once more and slamming and rolling across the ground.
Furious Hinata rose and rushed towards Naruto, her palms aglow with chakra. With a delighted grin, Naruto rushed to meet her and soon the two were furiously trading blows.
After about three minutes the two broke apart, Hinata with her chest heaving and several tears in her jacket while Naruto had chakra burns all over his torso. Annoyed that he still hadn't fallen Hinata decided to go for a little psychological warfare.
"You do realize fighting me is pointless right?" she asked.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Oh just shut up, you pathetic little girl," he said in exasperation. "I get it, you 're strong and I'm weak, blah, blah, blah,"
Hinata growled and went to strike Naruto but he easily stopped her. "I mean no matter what you do, nothing will change, jinchuuriki," she whispered the last part. Naruto quirked an eyebrow as his smile diminished in size.
"What are you talking about?" he asked curiously. Hinata broke away and channeled chakra into her hands, causing them to glow blue.
"I mean, you'll always be hated," she stated, "No one will miss you when you die, they won't acknowledge you for your deeds, nor will they ever accept you,"
Naruto stared at her his face going blank. Hinata continued to speak, slowly approaching him as she spoke, "You're nothing more than a tool at best, and a container at the least," she was nearly in front of him now. "The entire village looks forward to your funeral and those who deem themselves your friends," here she glanced into the stands, making Naruto turn his eyes towards the faces of those close to him.
Everyone watched with confusion and suspense as Hinata spoke and waited to see just how the resident psycho would react. However Naruto did nothing but stare into the eyes of Anko Mitarashi.
Hinata saw her chance and smirked. With a flash, her hands were covered in flames and in the next instant she thrust both of them forward and slammed them into Naruto's chest.
"Burning fist, BURST!" she exclaimed, and with that, fire and chakra literally ripped through Naruto's body and burst out his back in an explosion of fire, chakra and blood. All the while Naruto had never removed his eyes from that of his hebi-hime.
Anko was shocked but slowly smiled when she saw Naruto wink at her, a smile spreading across his face.
Hinata had a triumphant grin upon her face until she heard the laughing. Like that night so many years ago, it was a soft giggling before it turned into full blown maniacal laughter. Slowly he turned his head to face her again a giant grin on his face and his eyes absolutely filled with madness.
"You really think I care?" he asked laughing. Grabbing her shoulders, Naruto dug his nails into them, letting his claws form while his teeth turned sharp and lengthened. "I couldn't care less for these damn villagers! " here his claws sank into her skin. "Don't you dare think you know anything about me you bitchy little brat!" he screamed slamming his knee into her chin. Hinata landed on her back and on reflex, rolled out of the way of Naruto's heel drop.
"You're a demon! This village, this country, this entire world will never accept you!" she shouted at him while getting back on her feet.
"I'd rather be a demon than some hate filled little brat!" he shot back while launching several bullets at her. She dodged them but was unprepared for the slash that Naruto scored along her front. With a growl she slammed a palm into him and expelled more of her fire infused chakra, launching him away.
"And what would you know of hate! If I know nothing of you then you know nothing of me!" she shot back.
Naruto laughed at that, "On the contrary, I know exactly why you are the way you are!" he replied happily. "Ya see, when I learned you were my opponent I had some friends of mine dig up a little dirt about you. Had them find out your fears, fighting style, techniques hell, they even found out about your little S&M fetish!" he shouted causing many people to blush or sputter in surprise and embarrassment. There were also a good number of people who passed out from blood loss due to nosebleeds. Unsurprisingly, Chie was among them before he leapt back to his feet and began scribbling away in his notebook.
Hinata was bright red at this and pissed beyond all belief at the revealing of her secret perversion. Summoning a shroud of flames Hinata leapt at Naruto. "I'M GOING TO TURN YOU INTO ASH!" she roared. When she was about halfway, the girl started concentrating a large amount of her fire and chakra to her right palm. When she was within reach, she thrust forward with a cry of "Burning Fist! Hell's Breath!"
It was an explosion of fire that none had ever seen before. The Uchiha fireball jutsu would be nothing compared to this attack and there would be many a dragon who would be in awe of such a flame. Yes the power and heat forced out of this technique was incredible, but the question to be asked, was it enough to stop Naruto.
Hinata panted heavily as she stared into the flames, thinking there was no way anyone could have survived that attack. She had put almost every bit of chakra she had left into that attack and she knew for a fact that her hand was useless and would need medical attention soon. She started to smirk when she saw nothing appear but her eyes widened in horror when she heard it.
Laughter.
Everyone couldn't believe their ears as the laughter echoed all around the stadium, filling everyone with a sense of either pride, fear or disbelief that a human could live through that, shinobi or not! However when the flames died, everyone soon understood that a human didn't live through that attack.
A demon lived through that attack.
Horns black as night curled up from his forehead, poking through the long and shaggy mane of grey hair whose tips were akin to that of dried blood. Smoke wreathed and danced off of the earthy red skin while a spade and whip like tail weaved back and forth behind the figure. However the face was what scared Hinata the most. White teeth sharp as glass and blades coupled with eyes that had slit pupils, eerie yellow irises and blood red sclera. Hinata took a step back in fear as she eyed the demon in front of her.
"Like I said, I don't like being burned," Naruto said with a grin, "It messes up my complexion," he cracked his knuckles and neck before dashing forward and grabbing Hinata by her neck. "I'm ending this, but first, I think it's time you learned of the pain Neji experienced in his fight with you," he laughed. Hinata's eyes showed confusion before Naruto's tail came forward; it's tip dripping in blood. Slowly it came forward and rested against the girl's forehead. "Empathy, empathy put you self in the place of Neji!" he sang as his tail slowly began drawing something on her forehead. Her confusion turned to fear however when she figured out just what he was doing. She desperately tried struggling to get free of his grip but found she couldn't. Looking down, she saw chains made of shadows had bound her while Naruto just grinned and continued writing. Hinata tried to squirm out of his grasp; tried summoning more chakra to help her break free, but that damnable technique had drained her reservoir of chakra almost completely!
"Release me!" Hinata demanded angrily, "You will let go of me or so help me I will make your life a living hell!" she spat with enough venom to kill a village. Yet Uzumaki didn't listen, and continued to create the seal upon her head a giggle gurgling in his throat as he did. Hinata began to panic now, "If you do not release me, the entire Hyuuga clan will come after you! You won't know a day's rest until you're ashes in the wind!" she threatened.
He was almost done with the seal.
"Unleash me and I'll do whatever you want!" she cried, finally starting to cry as she realized he had no intention of stopping. Up in the stands, Neji was grinning ear to ear at the display.
Naruto laughed as he put the finishing touches on the seal and quickly pushed some chakra into the bloody symbols. With a cry of pain, Hinata felt the seal connect with her mind and knew that she had what no Hyuuga ever wanted.
She had the Caged Bird Seal.
She soon found herself flat on her butt and staring up at the monstrosity known as Naruto.
He laughed as he set his hands in a familiar seal and Hinata closed her eyes, praying and screaming to Kami mentally that he wouldn't do what he was about to do.
"Crap, I can't do this, not when you have that look on your face," complained Naruto, slowly causing Hinata to open her eyes. However they immediately snapped wide when she felt something stick in her neck and something enter her system. Quickly she yanked whatever was in her neck out and looked to see a small syringe, with the remnants of a strange purple liquid. Confused and scared she looked at the smiling face of Naruto and wondered just what the hell he had done to her.
She got her answer when all of her muscles started to tighten in a very, very painful way.
Slowly, Hinata's face muscles started to contort into a hideous grin while her body stiffened till she was immobile, but her muscles were taunt and she felt like if she stretched anymore, they'd literally snap! With fear she looked back to Naruto and saw he had a smile on his face and his hands back into that familiar sign.
"There! Now that you're smiling, this will make me feel much less guilty!" he proclaimed with a cackle. With that, the boy pushed chakra to his hands and watched with glee as Hinata tried to scream in pain.
For three minute, he kept his hands like that, and for three minutes, Hinata's world was an endless void of pain. For three minutes, Hinata endured something akin to having her brain electrocuted. For three minutes, her muscles tried to move in order to try and alleviate or fend off the pain, only for several muscles to snap and crack in response. "For three minute, Hinata felt what Neji felt, but on a scale a hundred times worse. Through it all she heard Naruto say.
"How's it feel girly? How's it feel to be subjugated to a damned seal?"
When Naruto finally released the technique, Hinata passed out, her muscles still straight and stiff and that grin still on her face, except now she had a more permenant fixture to her body.
On her forehead, she had the brand of the caged bird seal emblazoned into her skin, for countless years to come and even is they healed, they would scar and forever remind her of her defeat against one Naruto Uzumaki.
The stadium was quiet, not a single person said a word, all too shocked and scared of what just happened. It was Genma who finally broke the silence after seeing Naruto walk past him with a shit-eating grin on his face.
"Winner, Naruto Uzumaki," declared the jounin. No one cheered except for ten people.
Anko then turned to Kyuubi, "Do you think he knows the remainder of his clothing was burnt away in that last attack?" she asked.
Before Kyuubi could reply she was interrupted by the loud cry of "Who the fuck stole my pants?"
The hokage palmed his face and sighed. 'This is going to be a very long day' he thought sadly.
A/N: HaHHA! Finished with Naruto and Hinata's match up! Also I GOT MY FIRST FLAME! THEY ACTUALLY CALLED MY STORY PATHETIC! YAAAAY! Now I know I'm an author! Break out the jalapeños and crazy straws! Sancho! Stop humping that cactus and bring me a midget drag queen from Zanzibar! Es fiesta tiempo!
