AN: This chapter took me a long while to write because I don't exactly know how to imagine people celebrating in Japan… but here it goes, a first attempt! So, there is going to be another fight, but then a few chaps of peace so I don't action you all out. I kind of did most of the char. development in the last story, so I am searching for strings here. Akatsuki are back, yo! Forgot, I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 2: Taking the World

Naruto and Hinata arrived at the Hyuga manor to find their wedding reception already in full swing. A few of their friends were dancing to music while Choji filled a plate five feet high with food. Might Guy had been required to knock Lee unconscious after Lee had gotten a hold of some sake. He was now slung over Guy's shoulder while Guy talked with random people passing by about the fires of youth. Neji and Ten-ten were seen dancing, a sight that not one of the rookie nine or team Guy had ever seen. Neji was even smiling, not sneering, and Ten-ten was giggling. Not one person there had the gall to be sad or angry. Even the Hyugas from the main family, who had just had their power over the branch family taken away, were feasting and drinking and laughing as if life couldn't have been better. Naruto and Hinata managed to meet every person that had come after hours of walking around. Naruto was bored to death, but as future Hokage he knew that this information would be at least beneficial. Naruto bore through the countless introductions, trying not to accidentally sweep someone off their feet with his tails.

"You are such a cute couple! If I was sixty years younger, I would have married him myself!" Naruto gave an embarrassed smile to the old woman in front of him. Hinata was standing behind him and trying not to bust out laughing as Naruto was swept off his feet to dance with the wrinkled old lady. Naruto made the best of it, though, and eventually just picked her up and spun her around to the music.

"Whoa… that was quite a dance! This one is quite a looker, missy. Don't let anyone steal him away!"

"Oh, I don't think that will be a problem." Naruto slid his arm around Hinata's shoulder. "I don't think anyone could possibly steal me away from Hinata…"

"Attention." Suddenly a quiet voice silenced the entire room. Gaara stood at his table with a small cup of sake in his hand. "I am supposed to toast Naruto… I don't know what that should mean… so I will just say what they told me when I became Kazekage… good luck and don't die to fast." Gaara lifted his cup before draining it. Everyone just stared at him as he sat back down. Gaara… certainly has a way with words… Suddenly Lee rose from his place on Guy's shoulder. "YES, AND MAY HIS FIRE OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY!!!"As soon as he said this he was once again unconscious.

Hiashi Hyuga approached his daughter as she watched Naruto talk with some of the towns folk. He put his hand on her shoulder from behind. "Daughter, I hope you are happy."

"Father, I am as happy as I have ever been!"

"It is too bad, then, that it must all end here."

"What?" Hinata spun around suddenly to find not her father, but a man in the garb of an Akatsuki. Everyone in sight was stunned by the sudden appearance. The man used this time to perform his jutsu. "Water Style: Chakra Ice Bonds!" The man touched his hands to the floor which instantly became completely covered in ice. Most of the shinobi in the room had already recovered by the time the ice was down. Naruto was the first to attack. Or at least he tried. The instant he did the hand sign for his time alteration jutsu the ice at his feet spread up over his body and coated it completely. Most of the other powerful shinobi in the area also found the same fate. Hinata, who had attempted to get into a juken stance, had felt the ice creeping up with every ounce of chakra she put out. She immediately stopped and only her feet were encased in the ice. Just as she was about to try to break free the roof exploded above her. Instantly twenty more ninja in Akatsuki robes fell into the room. Unlike the ninja holding everyone in place, a mist ninja, these ninja were all wearing hidden rock head bands. Naruto saw out of his ice prison enough to know there were too many. I was told there were only nine of them! There should only be six left, so where did these guys come from… Naruto was silently thanking his instincts, if he had left his tails down on the floor the ice would most defiantly not look like it was containing a human, instead it just looked like a huge ice block, with his tails against his back. Hinata was only feet away from the ninja who had used the ice jutsu. If I could just break his concentration for a moment. Hinata used all her strength and flexibility as she lunged forward from the waist and punched the mist ninja in the face. He went flying into another ninja, but to Hinata's surprise the ice did not go away.

"You little…" The mist ninja got up and wiped blood from his mouth. "What? Did you think by breaking my concentration you could free your friends. Not happening, girl. This jutsu hardly needs me at all once it has started. It just feeds off of the chakra of its prisoners. Whenever someone here tries to use a jutsu, my ice steals the chakra they focus and uses it to increase in strength and volume! It has already absorbed enough from your initial "attack" that it can run without me for minutes!" Now he was back in front of Hinata. He backhanded her across the face hard enough to almost spin her around and break her ankles. Only her years of training stopped her from cracking her head on the ice. She managed to break her fall by putting her arms behind her. If only I can keep him from continuing his jutsu for another few minutes. She pushed herself back up and through her arm in a chop towards his neck. But, as fast as Hinata was, the mist ninja caught her hand in his.

"Huh? Still want to fight? Well, I can't say I feel like obliging you… you are too pretty for me to kill. But, on the other hand, what kind of man would I be if I didn't take advantage of a situation like this…"

"Fool! Stick to the plan!"

"Shut up!" The mist ninja kneed one of the other ninja's in the gut and let his body collapse to the ground. "I do what I damn well please! Now where were we…" Hinata was getting frightened. She had not bargained on fighting a pervert! Not now! I… Naruto… Naruto wasn't too happy about it either. From his place in his ice block he couldn't hear anything, but saw the look in the ninja's eyes just the same. Oh no. This guy must have a death wish. If he so much as touches her… oh wait, he already did. Naruto could feel his advanced henge start to slide, and immediately concentrated before he was visible to the world. Don't lose focus. Just kill him. Hinata was about ready to scream as the mist ninja's hand slowly came closer to her body. She threw a jab in desperation but it was caught. She threw her other fist, but the man caught it in the same hand as her other hand. A wicked smile was on his face as his free hand came up to caress her face.

"I don't plan on hurting you, pretty lady. I just want to have some fun. You wouldn't stop someone from having their fun, would ya?" Hinata closed her eyes and used all of her strength to try to get free. No… this can't happen! Not on my wedding day! Hinata suddenly heard something that sounded like music to her ears. The cracking of ice. Hinata used all of her strength to break loose her right leg from the ice. She surprised the mist ninja with a kick to the side of his head, sending him flying into two rock ninja.

"What the hell? I though you said she would be trapped!"

"She should have be…" The ninja was never able to finish his sentence. Naruto Uzimaku, the future sixth Hokage, had broken free. The entire crowd was in shock as the mist ninja fell to the ground along with the two ninjas that had been holding him… with a hole over a half meter in diameter through their chests. Naruto was standing beyond and looking with blue slitted eyes at the remaining eighteen ninjas in the room.

"I don't care who you are. If you were the most powerful demon lord in existence I would not let you touch my wife and get away with it." Naruto vanished again, this time appearing behind a group of four rock ninja, three with the large gaping hole in their body, one with his head severed completely from his body. "You like to think you are tough? What, are the Akatsuki hiring genin to do their dirty work now that Itachi is dead?" Naruto grabbed five kunai that had been aimed for his head with one finger and began to twirl them. "Or are you all just weak to begin with." Naruto returned the kunai to the senders at a speed not even Kakashi, with his sharingan eye revealed, could track. They pierced the hearts of five ninja, and the stomach of one who had been behind one of Naruto's targets.

"I guess that I should keep a few of you for interrogation... maybe one." Naruto vanished again, this time every remaining rock ninja fell to the ground, only one with his body mainly intact. Naruto's eyes went back to normal, though no one had even noticed the subtle change of his iris shape. "Hinata! Are you ok?" Hinata had fallen down after her kick and the ice around her other ankle had finally melted.

"I… I am fine…" Hinata looked like she as about to cry anyway. It wasn't every day that your wedding day was attacked, not once, but twice by ninjas trying to kill your husband or molest you. Naruto knelt down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She dug her face into his shoulder as she began to weep. Most of the town people knew that it was probably a good sign to leave. As Tsunade passed by the couple she whispered into Naruto's ear. "We will need to interrogate them tonight. I think you should probably be there. 9:00 in my office." Naruto glanced up at her in surprise. "Postpone your wedding night till these bastards are taken care of." Naruto knew she was right, he couldn't even sleep if the Akatsuki might attack at any time. Not that Naruto needed a lot of sleep anymore. It was Jiriya who noticed the only abnormal thing that happened that day. Blood, from out of nowhere, would suddenly appear behind Naruto ever few seconds. What the hell? I think some one has some explaining to do…
