After long and exaughsting hours and days of work, they accieved their goal

"N-N-N-Naruto?"

(Flashback.)

''That's it. Now do this hand sign." He made the hand sign on paper. It was hard for Hinata to perfect it since it was written down and not shown but drawn. Especially when Orochimaru's writing was very sloppy. (What did you say you stupid author!)

"Is this right?"

"Good. Now sacrifice him." He man cawards before him. Fear proportioned in his eyes. Hinata couldn't do it. She looked at him, the scarifice. She couldn't do it.

"I...Can't..."

"What do you mean you can't? Do it! He will die eventually, wether you kill him now, or later."

"But..."

"If you want, spare him but..." He walks over to the tied up man. Orochimaru's henchmen which she just noticed, pulled out a knife and put it to the man's neck. "He will die by your hand."

"I can't."

"Please miss. Do it." His words are not deprate nor scared. She looks at him. "Get your boyfriend back with my life. I rather die knowing that you made a differance, then dieing for a pointlesss reason. Do it."

"Liston to him Hinata. Take his life." She tears and does the hand sign. Before she finishes it she looks at the man. His face is calm. She does it and a big light appears.

(End of flashback.)

"Naruto? I-Is that you?" The figure in the smoke looked at himself. Then looked at Hinata. She wanted to see if it was him but there was somerthing wrong with this figure... It was naked.

"Hi..na..ta?" The voice said raspy. Orochimaru smiled.

"Welcome back Naruto.."

"Naruto.. is.. it really you?" The figure seemed to still stand in the cloud of dust. Red eyed glared at her. She took a step back.

"Or should I say... Fox..."

"Fox?.." The figure asked.

"If your not Naruto, and not the fox... who..." The dust settled down and the figure came in view. Hinata covered her mouth. It was Naruto and the fox, joined. The breathing of the creature was very heavy.

"Damn. It looks like you did something wrong." The figure cried out in pain as the fox part cracked. "Whats.. going on?..." The mask of fox broke and it's tail came off. Naruto stood there as the pain died down. The figure seemed to be Naruto.

"Naruto?"

"Hai. Hinata it is me." She smiled and ran over to him. She hugged him as hard as she could. "Hi..na...ta... can't... breathe.." She let go and blushed. They stared into each other's eyes.

"Aww isn't that sweet?" Naruto turned around and took a battle ready stance.

"What are you doing here?"

"I am the reason you are here. And no thanks?"

"I'm not going to thank you."

"Too bad. Oh well. I wasn't expecting to be thanked anyway."

"Grrr.."

"Naruto..." He turned to her. Keeping his eyes on him. "Let's go. I want to go home. Please."

"But Hinata I.." She places her arms around him. Her touch calms him. His muscles go from tense, to soft.

"Please?"

"Ok. But don't think this is over Orochimaru." (A/N: I am not sure if that is spelled like that but then again I hate him anyway.) "Get on Hinata." She hopped on his shoulders and he dissapeared. Orochimaru smiled.

"Lock the doors."

"Yes sir!" They run over and lock the doors. soon Hinata.. soon... Naruto and Hinata reach her house. As she drops down she places her lips on him. Hiashi walks out and looks at them. Hiashi goes behind Naruto and puts a kunai to his neck. Hinata jumps back.

"What the hell?"

"Who are you? Why are you doing to my daughter?"

"I'm Naruto and.."

"LIAR. Naruto died weeks ago. If you think that I am going to believe you.. your wrong. Tell me who you really are." He puts the kunai deeper into the neck of Naruto.

"It is him!" Hiashi looked at her.

"How can you be sure?"

"Use your byakugan! See it is not a jutsu!" He did so and lowered his kunai.

"How is this pos..." He looks at Hinata who has her head down. "Is this what you were doing?" She looks away. "Answer me!" He walks angerly over to her. She closes her eyes. "You used a forbidden jutsu to bring him back!" His voice scared her. It was no longer soft and protective, it was harsh and powerful. She turned away but quickly stopped when Hiashi grabbed her arm. She struggled but his grip was powerful. "Answer me Hinata. Did you use a forbidden jutsu to bring Naruto back?" She sturggled to get loose. He tightened his grip, causing her to yelp in pain.

"HEY let go of her!" Naruto runs over to stop hiashi but is quickly picked up, spun around and throw into a tree. Naruto growls and gets up to try again. "Let go of.." He gets punched with a gentle fist. Naruto then gets punched and thrown into a tree. "Why.. you..." Just then he felt something and he fell on his knees. He started coughing up blood.

"Naruto!" She tried to go over but was tugged by Hiashi.

"Tell me Hinata. Did you use a forbbiden JUTSU! TELL ME!" she looks into his eyes and then looks at Naruto. "If you don't tell me, I'll use gentle fist on his heart 3 times. His heart, no matter how strong, will die."

"NO DON'T"

"THEN TELL ME!"

"I...CAN'T"

"Then he will die." He tugged her over to him as he raised his hand. He slammed it down. "One." He raised again. "TWO!" He raises it again about to bring it down. "THR.."

"Yes.." She said softly. Hiashi released his grip on her and stopped before it could affect him.

"Why Hinata?... Do you know what that will do to us."

"I don't care! He died and I couldn't live with it."

"So you brought him back!"

"Yes."

"If everyone wanted to bring back everyone that was lost, then the world would be full of people who would die from starvation and not to mention people!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think one person would matter."

"It does. Because once someone has done it, others want it done too."

"I'm sorry."

"You know what you have to do." They stare at each other's eyes.

"NO! I can't, please don't. I had to sacrifice someone to get him back. The balance is still there."

"That's no the problem now. The problem is you used a forbidden jutsu. It is PUNISABLE! Did you hear me? You could be killed for this." Her eyes pour out tears. She falls on her knees.

"I'm sorry father. I just wanted him back."

"We all did, but that is what life is. We need to accept death." He looks at Naruto laying there unconcoius. "Tsunade will decide what to do with him." He looks back at her. "AND you." She continues to cry.

"I'm sorry."

"Let's go. Pick Naruto up and bring him along. At least he won't die for the moment." Hiashi calmed down. He saw that all he was doing was making things worse.

"I'm sorry... Naruto" she kept repeating. As they approched Tsunade's office, they ran into her office, with knocking.

"Come in." She said and with that they entered.
