Chapter 3: Naruto the Council, Starting the Academy, and a Surprising Night
Sarutobi was a man who prided himself on his constitution. He could look at anything and not be effected by it. So it came as a huge shock to him when he started to wake up and remembered that he had fainted.
"Oh my head" he grumbled as he slowly rises up.
"Hokage sama are you all right" asked Hiashi in concern.
"I will be when I can figure out why my head is throbbing so much" he replied rubbing his temples.
"Very well hokage sama, but you must call a council meeting" said Hiashi happily.
"Why" Sarutobi asked confused.
"Because the killer won't be plaguing Konoha anymore" said Hiashi with a shit eating grin.
"What? How" was all Sarutobi could ask.
"Hinata asked him to stop killing the villagers and he did. He listens to her almost like a servant or slave, but he doesn't need to. It's like she has absolute power over him" said Hiashi his grin getting wider.
"Meaning" asked Sarutobi.
"Meaning two things. Firstly the fate of the entire village rests in her hands. And secondly I don't have to worry about her safety ever again" said Hiashi his grin getting so wide it looked as if it would split his face in half.
"Alright Hiashi, go and wait in the council chamber with Hinata. I'll go and gather the rest of the old bastards" said Sarutobi with a sigh.
(Council chamber 30 minutes later)
"Sarutobi why have you called us at this ungodly hour? Not all of us are shinobi that can go days without sleep" complained Haruno Saya from the civilian council.
"I called so that Hiashi can make a small announcement" said Sarutobi, shoving all the pressure on Hiashi.
"Very well hokage sama. As you know there is a killer that has been plaguing Konoha for the past six nights. Well he shall never bother us again, thanks completely to my eldest daughter" said Hiashi with a smile of pride directed at her.
"WHAT HOW COULD THAT LITTLE WEAKLING STOP A KILLER THAT BESTED THE HOKAGE" yelled Saya in annoyance. She had always held a great hatred for the women of the Hyuuga clan for being more beautiful than her. Hyuuga Hitomi was said to be the most beautiful of her generation and Hinata seems to be almost like a clone of her mother at that age.
"I will ask you only once Haruno lower your voice and refrain from insulting my daughter or else it will be the end of you" said Hiashi with a slight hint of fear in his voice his eyes darting around madly as if looking for something not even his Byakugan could see.
"And why should I do that. It's true she is a weakling and an ugly little whore of one at that. You should just kill her off now and save our enemies the trouble…" she started on her rant only to stop in mid sentence as a drip sounded throughout the room. They all looked around trying to find the source of the sound only to stop as Saya started shrieking in pain. When all eyes were on her they noticed a large red splotch growing on her abdomen right around the area of her uterus. She fell off her chair clutching at the wound as a figure stood tall behind her. Well tall for an 8 year old boy anyways. He just raised his dripping spear to finish her off when…
"NARUTO STOP" Hinata yelled. Immediately he stopped and lowered the spear before putting it on his back. Once it was secure he walked over to Hinata bowed once and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Ha I knew that little bitch lied she was never strong enough to kill that bastard" said Saya through gritted teeth as ANBU came out and began medical jutsu to heal the wound.
"Haruno I never said she killed him. In fact I would never even consider killing her only friend and protector" said Hiashi his shit eating grin back in place.
"HE'S WHAT" yelled everyone except for Hinata, Hiashi, and Sarutobi.
"It is just as Hiashi says. Naruto protected Hinata from being brutally raped, and protected her all through the same night. He became her friend, and vowed to always protect her even at the cost of his unkillable existence" said Sarutobi with a wide grin himself.
"But how can this be" asked Danzo his one eye wide with fear.
"We don't know ask Hinata" said Sarutobi. They all turned to Hinata expectantly who just shrugged in return.
"He never told me. Maybe…Naruto kun would you please come out here and tell us why you chose to protect me" asked Hinata making everyone sweat drop. To their immense surprise though he fell from the ceiling right in front of Hinata.
"I choose to protect her because she is the only truly pure soul in the village. Because she is truly pure even though she has faced an existence similar to mine, she earned my respect" said Naruto, but before he could disappear again Hinata grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Please stay here. I feel more comfortable with you by my side, and would greatly appreciate it" she asked looking straight into his eyes. He just nodded and stood slightly to her left his hand always near a weapon in the event of an attack.
"So she really can control him" said Danzo with a glint in his one eye.
'What are you planning you old goat' thought Sarutobi.
"Esteemed council members, I petition that Hyuuga Hinata and her bodyguard be submitted to my root program, so we can turn them into the ultimate living weapon for Konoha to use at its whim" said Danzo with a little bit of drool running down his mouth from greed. Before anybody could even think of speaking Danzo found the point of a sword at his throat.
"If you even think for one second I would let you harm a single hair on her head you are already senile and should be killed here and now. And your root are nothing compared to me" he said spinning and cleaving a root member in half from the head down. Before he split Naruto took his spear and impaled another to the wall, and before the spear even stopped quivering he gutted another with his bare hands before appearing by Hinata in the same position he was in before spear back on his back sword at the ready. Everyone was stunned at the prowess the boy was showing; even Danzo started sweating at the ease in which his men were killed.
"Well I guess that's your answer Danzo, even try touching my daughter and that is what you get. Your men were probably nothing compared to ten S class nukenin, and he killed them all by himself" said Hiashi smugly.
"Effortlessly I might add" piped up Naruto from beside Hinata who had moved to give him a small hug.
"Ok if an S class nin is at the level of a kage than he killed the equivalency of…ten…kages…" said Akimichi Choza as his eyes widened and his mouth dropped.
"I petition that we leave Hyuuga Hinata alone, and never piss her off under penalty of death" said Nara Shukaku with sweat beading his brow as he stood in his haste.
"I second the motion" said Yamanaka Inoichi standing beside his long time friend and teammate.
"All agreed" asked Sarutobi, as numerous hands raised.
"All opposed" he asked, as only five hands were raised. The motion was carried by a vote of 15 to five.
"Motion carried, Hyuuga Hinata is not to be angered under penalty of death. Hinata you can go to the academy now, and have a good day" said Sarutobi in his grandfatherly way.
"Good bye hokage sama. Good bye tou san I love you" said Hinata as she ran off happily with Naruto right behind.
"I love you too dear, and be good" said Hiashi smiling at his daughters' exuberance. Everyone was just staring at him as if he had grown a second head. The Hyuuga Hiashi, the cold hearted, emotionless, uncaring bastard…was being nice. To the daughter his clan thought weak no less. Inuzuka Tsume decided to make her thoughts known at this point.
"Ok Hiashi while you're still off your meds can I get you to sign this marriage contract to my son for your daughter" said Tsume as she pulled out the contract and handed it to him. He took it and read it. As he read through it is smile got smaller and smaller until it was a look of pure rage.
"NO I WILL NEVER SIGN THIS PEACE OF SHIT CONTRACT THAT WILL TURN MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER INTO A HORNY BOYS PLAYTHING" yelled Hiashi as he ripped the contract into tiny shreds and then did the impossible…he set it aflame with a single glare. Turning his attention to Tsume she just looked incensed that he would rip up a contract she had worked so hard to make.
"What the fuck was wrong with the contract" she asked angrily.
"It turns my daughter into a piece of meat that your son can screw all he wants and then screw any and all other women that catch his fancy and she can't do anything about it. Then there is the fact that says once she gives him a son he can take the kids and leave her without having to do anything to compensate for her loss" said Hiashi in a rage.
"And that's all your daughter will be good for. Breeding stock with a strong shinobi like my son is sure to be" said Tsume arrogantly. Hiashi just got a maniacal grin on his face.
"Oh Naruto" he called. To everyone's surprise he appeared.
"I though only your daughter can control him" said Danzo in shock.
"She can but I can call him. Now Naruto since I'm sure you are eager to get back to Hinata I have a quick mission for you. If a boy named Inuzuka Kiba tries to come onto Hinata or bugs her in any way that she starts to become exasperated I would like you to remove what separates him from the female gender" said Hiashi his grin turning into one that would make Kenpachi Zaraki (from Bleach) proud. It was a sadistic smile that made everyone shiver.
"If you even touch my son you will start a war with the entire Inuzuka clan. The entire Hyuuga clan will suffer because of it" threatened Tsume in a last ditch effort to save her sons twig and two berries.
"Than I guess the Inuzuka will suffer the same fate as the Uchiha" said Naruto as he vanished again. The council just sat there digesting what was said.
"Tsume you are royally fucked up the ass" said Shukaku as he shook his head. Everyone just nodded their assent as they got back to business.
(At the academy 15 minutes later)
Hinata ran n just before the final bell rung. She was panting and out of breath, but had a smile on her face that was comparable to the sun.
"Hinata you cut it kind of close there, do you mind explaining" asked Umino Iruka, the teacher of the class.
"Hai Iruka sensei. I'm very sorry but I was needed at a council meeting of great importance. I was only just let out fifteen minutes ago" said Hinata her smile getting even wider.
"What was the council meeting about that you were required to be there" inquired Tao Mizuki the assistant teacher.
"It was a matter of village security. Last night I was kidnapped by several high class nukenin, and rescued before they could rape me. They wanted me there to confirm something" said Hinata her smile never faltering even when she spoke of being potentially raped.
"Umm…ok Hinata umm…are you sure you want to be here today? Wouldn't you prefer to spend the day at home, you were just through a very traumatic experience" asked Iruka who was a little perturbed by her current reaction to what happened. He just figured she was in one of the stages of shock.
"No I'm perfectly fine. Besides I have a very special guardian angel with me, and I know he will always keep me safe" she said as she went to take her seat. Unknown to her Naruto in the shadows was sporting a fierce blush at her words. No one would have been able to see it because of his mask, but you could easily feel the heat from a foot away.
'She thinks I'm an angel? Even with all the horrible deeds I've committed since listening to mother' thought Naruto to himself. Before he realized what was happening a true smile crept up onto his face. He for the first time in his entire life was happy. But that happiness soon turned to anger as he saw somebody getting a little too comfortable around his Hinata.
'Wait did I just think of Hinata as mine? Hmm maybe Hiashi will be able to explain it to me later, but for now to work' thought Naruto to himself.
Meanwhile with Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba a source of extreme annoyance for her had decided that she needed comforting in a way only he could give.
"Hey Hime sorry to hear about your getting kidnapped again. Come here and let your man make all the bad feelings go away" said the boy with short spiky brown hair and a wild face with red triangles, as he put his arm around Hinatas' waist much to her consternation.
"Kiba san, I would appreciate it if you kept your hands to yourself. I am not nor will I ever be your 'Hime', and I do not appreciate you trying to grope me while I sit here trying to listen to the lecture by Iruka sensei. Besides why would I want someone who couldn't even handle a newly minted genin, when I have someone that could kill a kage" said Hinata as she shoved Kibas' hand away from her core.
"You lie, now just shut up and accept me" yelled Kiba in a rage.
"No" she replied defiantly. Kiba lost it at that one word. He pulled back his hand and sent it sailing forward right towards Hinatas' face. Before Iruka or anybody else could move they heard a resounding crack, of skin on skin.
Hinata just sat there with her hand covering her face, a bruise making itself known. Before anybody could react an immense killing intent filled the entire room forcing everybody except for Hinata to the ground. Kiba then found himself being lifted off the ground with his face coming less than an inch from a white ANBU style mask with the kanji for demon on the forehead.
"How dare you strike her? You a filthy mutt would dare to defile her with your perverse touch. I should have listened to Hiashi sooner but no I just had to give you a chance. Well I'll never make that same mistake again, say good bye to being a man" said Naruto in raw anger. Before anyone could even think he pulled out his sword and slashed at Kiba. He angled the blade just so; that the only thing it cut was Kibas reproductive organs. Kiba was effectively turned into a girl. It was at that moment that Sasuke got a good look at the masked figure. He recognized him in that very instant.
"NO, STAY AWAY FROM ME. YOU KILLED MY ENTIRE CLAN, STAY AWAY" he yelled as a wet spot made itself known on the front of his pants. Naruto just looked at him and started to remove his mask. He barely got half way before Sasuke passed out from fear. Naruto just finished removing his mask while shaking his head.
"YOU?!? DIE YOU FUCKING DEMON" yelled Mizuki as he threw a giant shuriken right at Naruto. It hit him square in the chest and knocked him back a few feet.
"NARUTO KUN" yelled Hinata worry clear on her face. It was unfounded however as Naruto just looked at the shuriken before pulling it out. He looked at it a little more while everyone was stunned that he was still standing. Naruto suddenly got a huge grin on his face as he started spinning the shuriken in his hand (think like Mizuki did in the first episode). He got it spinning faster than anyone thought would be possible, it was so fast the air moving around it sounded like an industrial fan. Naruto rushed at Mizuki in the blink of an eye. He ducked down and made an uppercut motion from below. Mizuki just stood there stunned, but then a huge grin split his face.
"HA IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MISSED YOU BA…" he started only to stop in mid sentence.
"Mizuki are you alright" asked Iruka curious about his long time friend. Without his facial expression changing in the least Mizuki fell to either side…cut completely in half. His innards spilled out of his lifeless body painting the floor red.
"Hey Hinata chan, do you think your father will let me keep this" asked Naruto with a huge grin on his face as he held up the shuriken. He never got an answer as Hinata charged forward and enveloped him in the fiercest hug she could muster.
"Don't ever scare me like that again. I was terrified I would lose you. You're the only person I can actually feel safe with. Just…please" she said as she wept silent tears into his chest. Naruto for his part just dropped the shuriken in shock. He then embraced her back, gently rocking back and forth in a comforting manner. His mask appeared in his left hand out of nowhere and he put it on while slowly pushing Hinata behind him and drew his spear. Not even a second later Itachi burst through the door with a look of worry on his face. He took one look at Naruto and started a sequence of seals that would produce the strongest fire jutsu he could manage. However before he could finish Naruto threw a scroll at him like a kunai. Catching it out of reflex, he opened the scroll and got a huge smirk on his face. He turned to thank Naruto but both he and Hinata were gone. Itachi however just couldn't stop grinning. He finally had the proof that the majority of the Uchiha clan were traitors. He walked away whistling a happy tune heading for the hokage tower to unveil his information.
(Later that night at the Hyuuga compound)
Hiashi stood outside his eldest daughters' door a look of worry and indecision on his face. Earlier his daughter had come home in the arms of Naruto crying and clinging to him like white on rice and a paper plate in a snowstorm (sorry I couldn't resist the Major Payne movie reference. Listening to the song Snowstorm really doesn't help either though. (If you want to hear the song just type Snowstorm in on YouTube and look for something with Mizore and Snowstorm in the title. It's a really good song when you listen to it)). He stood with his arm raised prepared to knock, when the door opened by itself.
"Hello tou san come in" said Hinata in an almost depressed voice.
"Hinata tell me what's wrong" asked Hiashi in a kind fatherly voice.
"Do you promise you won't laugh" she asked.
"Of course" he replied instantly. Hinata just sighed as she gathered her courage.
"I think I'm in love with Naruto" she said in a small quiet voice. Hiashis' eyes widened in surprise. He was expecting a multitude of answers but that was not among them. But even worse, he realized he couldn't play the overprotective father role. Well he could but it would be pointless. The boy his daughter fell in love with was legions stronger than him so any and all threats would be seen as empty as they truly were. Hiashi cried anime tears for a few seconds before he regained his composure.
"But what has you depressed about that" he asked knowing there had to be more.
"I almost lost him today. Mizuki sensei tried to kill him when he removed his mask. He was hit in the chest with a giant shuriken, and I thought for a moment he would fall over dead. Then there is the fact that I know he doesn't even know what love is as he never felt it before either from a family or someone else. And on top of all that even if he did, I don't know if he would reciprocate my feelings" said Hinata with tears streaming slowly down her face.
"Is Naruto here now" asked Hiashi who only get a no.
"I asked him to check up on Hanabi, because I knew you wanted to talk with me about earlier" she replied.
"I understand. Good night my dear, have sweet dreams and I'll see you in the morning" he said as he got up.
"Good night tou san" she said as she prepared to go to bed.
"I'll send Naruto in, in a little bit" he said receiving a nod. Hiashi walked to his study a look of severe concentration on his face. He got there opened the door closed it and plopped down on his chair exhausted.
"Hiashi sama, there is an important matter I would like to discuss with you" said a voice he recognized as Narutos'.
"Ah Naruto just the man I was hoping to see. First off I would like to say that if I were able, I would kick your ass into the next century for making my daughter cry" started Hiashi.
"That was unintentional, and I plan on making it up to her somehow" said Naruto.
"Be that as it may. What did you want to speak about anyway" he asked his curiosity piqued now that it actually registered that Naruto had sought him out.
"Today while watching over Hinata, I saw a boy wrap his arm around her waist and it instilled a rage the likes of which I never knew before. Then I thought of your daughter in a possessive manner. Finally when I saw the boy strike her I wanted to do so much more than just what you asked. I wanted to torture him until hell seemed like a relief" said Naruto his anger mixing with his confusion.
"Did you feel as if your heart was ready to burst with sorrow when she started crying" asked Hiashi sitting up excited now.
"Yes, and it soared with joy when she called me her guardian angel" said Naruto with a small smile behind his mask.
"Naruto kun I know exactly what the matter is" said Hiashi startling Naruto with the sudden suffix to his name.
"You do? What is it" he asked.
"You are in love with my daughter, as she is with you" said Hiashi a huge grin spreading on his face again.
"What" asked Naruto.
"You…Are…In…Love…With…My…Daughter" said Hiashi emphasizing each word.
"But what should I do then" he asked never having loved anything before.
"You go to her man. Hold her close, kiss her, and comfort her in her distress. You must become the pillar from which she draws stability. You must be the well from which she draws strength. You must be the wall that shields her from the elements" said Hiashi standing in his elation.
"What will you do" he asked confused.
"I will stay here and set up a marriage contract so the bastard council can't try to marry her off to some daimyo for political power. GO MAN" yelled Hiashi happily. And go he did. He raced through the compound at speeds far too dangerous for everyday travel. Before he knew it he was standing in front of Hinatas door.
He opened the door to see her sitting in bed with a depressed look on her face trying to read a book. He saw it was a sappy romance novel that teenagers read to try and cheer themselves up. It obviously wasn't working for her but he knew what would.
He quickly removed his mask and dropped it to the ground, alerting Hinata to his presence. Before she could react Naruto had her in a fierce hug with his forehead resting on her own staring straight into her lavender eyes.
"Naruto kun, what are you mmph" she asked her last word being muffled by Narutos lips on her own. She was in shock at the moment but enjoying the feeling.
"I love you Hyuuga Hinata. Now and forever" said Naruto after he broke the kiss.
"And I you, my glorious angel" she replied with tears of joy streaming down her face.
"Anything you want, just ask and it is yours" he said.
"Than just hold me through the night" she said happily.
"Always my Hinata. Always" he replied as he laid her gently in the bed and followed in quickly after. So they slept, in a gentle lovers embrace. Sharing the warmth and comfort given from something as simple as human contact.
Hey all thymistacles here. I'm happy to report that some of my writers block is gone. But then it came back with a vengeance. Of course there are still a few technical problems, but that was mostly solved by me getting a laptop for myself. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and that little bit of NaruHina fluff. I just couldn't help it; I mean the shot was wide open so I took it. Well I'll see you next time, review or flame I don't care which, ja ne.
