So sad that I still don't own Naruto.
Hinata looked at Gaara when the gaurds came out of the building. He doesn't trust them, she thought as she saw the Kazekage give the gaurds a skeptical look. Then another thought hit her, How much does he know about the byakugan? He might have noticed the little confrence Hinata and Shikamaru were having before the gaurds returned.
She then turned to Shikamaru, waiting for him to come up with a genius solution on how to handle this delicate situation. He nodded at her unspoken request.
"Kage mane no jutsu," he said using his shadow to capture the gaurds in question. "Naruto, stay with the kazekage. Hinata, take Kankuro and find the thing that they left in his room," he barked.
"What's going on here?" demanded one of the gaurds. Gaara didn't look surprised at all.
Ignoring this Hinata turned to the puppet master. "Kankuro san, if you would just follow me." He turned to Gaara for permission. Gaara nodded and she lead Kankuro into the Kazekage's bedroom.
As they enetered the building, Hinata activated her byakugan, looking for the two other chakra patterns. She saw them, but they were faint. She made note of the directions they were going and turned her attention to the Kazekage's room. When they reached it Hinata lifted her hand to call a halt.
Focusing her chakra Hinata looked at the object under the bed. As far as she could tell, it was just a box. There was no chakra coming off of it like there would be if it were a ninja trap, and she couldn't see any warding notes on the box or even in the room.
"Kankuro san, there is a box under the bed. It doesn't look like a trap, but few traps look like traps. Do you want to see it before I remove it?" she offered this, so that there would be no accusations of sabatage later.
Kankuro nodded and made his way carefully to the bed. He knelt down and lifted the covers. When he looked back at Hinata, he looked puzzled.
"There's nothing here."
Hinata's byakugan was still activated, so she could still see the box. "It's right under the pillow." Kankuro looked again, then looked back and shook his head.
Hinata went to the bed and kneeled down. She peeked under the covers and looked at where the box was. It was still there, just a few inches to Kankuro's right. With a puzzled look on her face, she reached for the box, but where her hand should have met resistance, there was nothing but a tingling sensation. Hinata watched as her hand passed through the box.
"What are you doing?" Kankuro asked, watching her hand.
"My hand is going though the box," Hinata explained. If it was made of chakra and only chakra it wouldn't have chakra coming off of it. "It's a trap," she whispered looking into Kankuro's eyes. "We gotta get back outside."
