Naruto: Whoo

Naruto: Whoo! I'm not owned by anyone!

Hinata: Not even me?

Kyuubi: Kid?

Naruto: Ummm (Faints)

Hinata: Wow what a switch….

Chapter 14: A Night Underneath The Stars! Hinata's New Jutsu!

Flashback

Madara snapped his fingers and two other individuals in hoods that concealed their identities appeared before them and bowed.

The one on the left spoke. "Yes my lord? You called us?"

"You two are my last resort and I can count on you two to not fail me right?"

"Yes my lord." They both responded. You can tell that they were a male and female group. The male on the left sighed. "It would be such a burden to kill him." The female on the right agreed and nodded. "Yes, and after he fell in love with such a pretty girl too." They both lifted up their heads revealing lines through their Leaf headbands. The male's blonde hair was apparent through the hood. The women's magenta hair was apparent as well. Both had blue eyes. The male grabbed the women's hand and left in a blur too fast for the human eye, much faster than the speed of sound.

Flashback ends.

Naruto stopped for a sec, looking back to nothing down the open road. 'That's weird……'

Hinata stopped a few inches from him, sensing Naruto's concern. "What's wrong Naruto-kun?"

Naruto turned back around to Hinata showing his goofy grin. "It's nothing Hinata-chan. Just a little homesick that's all." Naruto looked back at the flowing wind carrying leaves. 'I could've sworn I felt something familiar a minute ago.' Naruto just shrugged it off and kept going southbound from the Hidden Leaf Village.

Kiba pointed ahead. "Yo Hinata! How far is the Star Village?"

Hinata made a hand sign with both of her hands, as her eyes bulged with veins. "Byakugan!" Her vision zoomed ahead, spreading through the entire landscape until finally hitting a small province up ahead. "Straight ahead, 675 kilometers."

Naruto was impressed at Hinata's vision. "Wow you can see that far ahead." Naruto tried looking ahead, kinda looking stupid in the process. "Man I can't even see over the horizon. You're so cool Hinata!" Naruto gave his lover a quick kiss, in which she blushed madly.

Kiba and Shino both sighed. Kiba folded his arms and looked at Naruto. "Dude we are on a mission. We can't stop every five seconds for you to flirt and make out in the forest. Sure the girls think it's cute but seriously there's a limit."

Naruto smiled as he rubbed the back of this head. "Sorry Kiba, Shino. I guess we should be getting back to the subject at hand." Naruto frowned inside; he was so willing to do her in the street. 'What the….Damn you fox!'

Kyuubi woke up from his sleep. "What kid? I didn't do anything this time!"

Naruto ran ahead with the others but stopped at the entrance of the Star Village. "Ok guys maybe it's a good idea to conceal the fact that we are looking for this key." Naruto took off his headband and put it in his pocket.

"He's right. We wouldn't want to start any civil unrest with the villagers thinking this is an invasion from the Leaf Village." Shino added.

Everyone took off their headbands and put them in their pockets as they casually walked in, pretending to be tourists. Naruto was in awe of the place, he wondered why this place was called the Village hidden in the Stars but no one seemed to show it. It was just regular people, not a ninja in sight. Kiba sniffed out for any danger but he didn't find anything suspicious. Shino's shades glistened in the sun. Hinata's hair flowed in the wind, showing off her beautiful smile which attracts many.

"Well hello there cutie. You must be new here. The name's Anisaka. What's yours?" A man appeared to Hinata's left.

Everyone stopped and looked at this stranger, who had pretty light green hair, which was cut to fit him a kinda androgynous look that only made him look cuter. Naruto grew a vein in his head at this guy flirting with Hinata as he prepared to attack; Kiba and Shino pulled him away from the two.

Hinata shifted her hair and giggled. "It's Hinata. Nice to meet you Anisaka." He held her hand and kissed it to be a complete gentleman, which made her blush and giggle at this.

Naruto broke free from Kiba and Shino and stood in front of Hinata. "Hi! And my name's Naruto Uzumaki! Hinata's boyfriend. Nice to meet you too, Ani." Naruto shook Anisaka's hand with a firm grip, which gave him the impression that you were overstepping your boundaries.

Anisaka backed away from Naruto, clutching his stinging hand. "Oh forgive me. Please accept my honest apologies." He looked at Naruto and the others with inspecting eyes. "You guys aren't from around here aren't you?"

Shino walked up to Anisaka. "We are traveling explorers on an expedition to find the Hidden Heaven Village. Do you think you can help us?"

Anisaka rubbed his head, confused at their answer. "Heaven Village? Never heard of it. But my grandpa will probably know about it. He's the oldest living man in the village. Follow me." Anisaka walked down the road with the gang behind them.

Naruto smiled to Kiba and Akamaru. "This is too easy. We will find this key in no time." Anisaka noticed their conversation from the corner of his eye and smirked.

Anisaka opened the door to an old building with candles in it and an old body lying in covers surrounding by a large canopy. Ani bowed before the lump on the ground and signaled to the others to do the same. They bowed too, careful not to blow their cover.

"Grandfather, these travelers wish to speak to you about this Heaven Village. Can you help them?"

The lump started to move as the covers slid down revealing an old man with so many wrinkles and liver spots that would make Tsunade squeal. He had only a few strains of hair on his head and the hair on his eyebrows and goatee were withering away. A sickly old man who coughed every few seconds. "Grandson, these people wish to learn the tragic story of the Village Hidden in the Heavens?"

Naruto was deeply interested in what he just said. "Tragic? Why? What happened?"

The old man coughed hysterically before beginning to explain. "Long ago, that village was prosperous and powerful, even more than Konoha. It was the very first village ever built by the people, to the people, for the people. Yes, my father told me of this legend, for he always spoke like he was from there, but he never told me he was. I thought he was a liar all this time telling me these stories of how the villagers created every jutsu possible."

Naruto, Hinata, Kiba and even Shino fell back in shock. "Every single jutsu!"

The old man continued. "Yes, that what he told me. He told me that the people were the strongest, smartest and the most beautiful in the world. They created their province hoping to establish a peace in this world. Their leader, Massotori was the greatest of all; lead the land with a soft fist. He was gentle as a feather and yet he had a heart of gold. Father would tell me that the sheer sight of him would cause the seas to part and winds to split. He led his village to flourish all over the land, as he accepted many outsiders to find shelter in this home. Many people far and away came to this village wanting to get away from the troubles of the wilderness. Massotori was happy with what he had accomplished but his son had different ideas."

Kiba interrupted. "His son? What was his problem?"

"I don't know his name, but the son didn't like the outsiders taking what he rightfully owned. These people were ungrateful and complete savages just coming in and hogging up all the paradise. He hated the fact that his father would tend to these people than spend time with his own son. Soon over time, the boy grew more and more jealous of them until one day he struck a deal with the devil so to speak, with a powerful demon in the wilderness."

"Demon?" That word attracted Naruto.

"I don't know what demon it was but apparently even the earth grew in fear of it. Its eyes were red like fire that matched the boy's. They got along pretty fine as the boy promised the demon, he would let it rule all over the land, but first he would have to help the boy clear out the village for just him and his family. The demon agreed granting the boy to unleash his Kekkai Genkai at full strength but with it came a few catches. Soon the boy went on a rampage throughout the village, killing those who refused to acknowledge him, even his own brother."

This was turning into a horror story by each and every sentence. Naruto and the others held in their fear as the old man continued.

"The boy grew more and more powerful by each kill, learning new jutsu each and every time, as his mind started to warp behind sanities. His morals between good and evil were tossed out the window, as he didn't have time for frivolous ideals. He would be respected one way or another. Massotori began to notice these mass murders in his village and quickly addressed the issue to the son, asking him why? Why do such a thing to innocent people? The boy only responded by saying in spite of it all, in my entire lifetime I only made a single friend. Would you like to meet him? At that moment the demon that the boy struck a deal with came crashing through causing pain and destruction. The people screamed for mercy but mercy they didn't get as the demon swung his tail crushing thousands. Massotori watched his son sit atop the demon's head saying he would create his own clan and his own village for him to rule, and then people would start to notice and acknowledge his great power. Massotori ran to his throne room prepared to write his will, but it turned into a S.O.S on stone as he chucked it far away into the horizon. He then looked at the brave young man standing before Massotori's son and the great demon unafraid as he stood prepared to fight to the death. Surely the young man was crazy but there he was on par with Massotori's son's strength, but with the great demon's strength the boy was soon beaten. The son was about to add the finishing blow to this hero but Massotori protected him at the cost of his arm. That drove the son to insanity that his father would rather protect this boy than be with him. Massotori then cast a jutsu to drive his son far away from the village; he then told the brave young boy that you are the one that can defeat him. The fire burns strongly within you he said, as he teleported the boy to a faraway land with three swords on his back."

"Three swords? Why those?"

"The young boy read the scroll as it held instructions inside saying. These swords are the key to finding us again and defeating my son, but now you are no match for him in this state so place these swords in various places across the world and when the time comes, the destined ones shall come searching for them." The old man interrupted his story and looked at Naruto and his friends. "Tell me……are you they?"

Naruto looked confused at the old man's request. "Us? Destined ones? I don't think so. We are just travelers."

The old man smirked at Naruto. "You can drop the act. I know you are ninja from the Leaf."

Naruto fell back surprised. "How did you know!"

"Because I heard you outside the village entrance. That's why I sent Anisaka to greet you. If only my other grandson was here."

"But I am here grandfather." Said a voice from the darkness.

Naruto and the others looked around searching for the voice as it chuckled all around them. Suddenly a fist appeared and hit Naruto in the face sending him crashing through the walls.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata ran to him.

There before them in an Akatsuki cloak was a man with flowing silver hair and green eyes.

Anisaka ran to this man. "Monosaka! What is the meaning of this?"

"Brother, these outsiders are a nuisance to Lord Madara and therefore need to squatted like the bugs they are."

Shino chuckled a bit. "Funny you should mention bugs." Bugs gathered at Monosaka's feet and formed two ropes as Shino raised his hands and used the bugs to swing Monosaka out of the building into the village center as he landed on top of the large fountain there. People scattered from this scene watching from the comfort of their own homes. Kiba and Akamaru looked at Monosaka thinking he's down for the count until he starts to squirm.

"He's getting up Akamaru! You ready?" Akamaru barked as Kiba tossed up a food pill. Akamaru ate it and in a flash he transform into a second Kiba.

Monosaka stood up from the fountain and flashed a couple hand signs. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Twin water dragons appeared from the spurting fountain attacking Kiba and Akamaru head-on.

Kiba and Akamaru dodged the attacks but they kept coming. "Fang over Fang!" They split the water dragons in half dispelling the jutsu. Kiba and Akamaru shook off the water they got onto themselves like dogs. Kiba sniffed himself. "Eww! Wet dog!"

Monosaka kicked Kiba in the face sending him skidding across the ground. "Don't drop your guard around me weakling." He smirked as he made a stance.

A punch hit Monosaka's face, then a kick to the gut, then another punch to the midsection. "Can you find me!" Said Naruto's voice.

"Damn it! Where is that kid?"

"Right here!" A punch to the nose. "No here!" A punch to the midsection. "Behind you!" Punch to the chin. "Over here!" Kick to the gut. "You're not even trying to find me are you? You suck at hide and go seek!" Finally Naruto landed a kick to Monosaka's face sending him flying down the street. But before Naruto could celebrate, the same pain from before struck him full force. The pain crawled through his skin sending bone rattling sensations through his body. Naruto fell to his knees, breaking the Transparency Jutsu, clutching his head in pain. "GAHHH!!"

Hinata came to his side with her hand on his back. "Naruto, what's wrong?"

Naruto looked back at Hinata with fox eyes, crying. "Hinata….help me…" Naruto fainted before Hinata. Hinata didn't understand what was happening to her Naruto-kun and she didn't have time to think.

Monosaka attacked with a kunai which Hinata blocked with her own. The sheer strength caused Hinata's legs to buckle and she knew she couldn't beat this guy with strength. Kiba and Akamaru in his transformed state headbutted Monosaka sending him flying from Naruto and Hinata. Shino used his bugs to form fists and with them grabbed Monosaka and held them there.

"Why are you attacking us?" Shino asked.

Monosaka struggled in the vicegrip he was in. "For Grandfather! He deserves to live and be young again!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Monosaka stopped his struggling and looked at Shino. "Grandfather is the heart of the Tomoharu clan! Without him this village will die along with him and Madara promised me that if you worms were exterminated he would grant immortality to him and we would be even stronger than before!"

Kiba smirked. "And do you honestly believe that? A coward like Madara only uses people to do his dirty work so that he can take it for his own."

"Liar!" Monosaka snarled. Monosaka shifted his hands and use his kunai to slash away the bugs "Now die!" He threw a kunai at Shino which hit him but Shino dissipated into a flurry of bugs. Kiba attacked Monosaka, slashing at him, but Monosaka dodged the attack. Akamaru attacked from behind but Monosaka ducked causing him to fly into Kiba.

Anisaka ran to Hinata's side to check to see if she and Naruto were alright. "Is he alright?"

Hinata shook her head. "I don't know. Naruto is burning up very quickly." Hinata watched her friends valiantly fight the strong Monosaka as both cast jutsu on one another. Hinata stroked Naruto's hair. "Naruto-kun." Naruto shivered at her touch. Hinata leaned towards Naruto's ear and whispered. "Watch me fight." Hinata placed Naruto in Anisaka's care and ran to the battlefield. "Kiba! Shino! Battle formation!"

Kiba, Akamaru and Shino stood side by side. "Got it!" Kiba charged Monosaka as Akamaru jumped up in the air. Monosaka prepared to strike Kiba but Kiba slid through Monosaka's legs. Akamaru landed an axe kick to Monosaka's shoulder causing him to fall to his knees. Shino kicked Monosaka backwards but before he could react, Hinata stood behind him.

"You're in range of my eight trigrams." Hinata had her Byakugan activated but she wasn't in the Gentle Fist stance. Her hands to began to glow a white light. Monosaka turned around to this sight but it was too late. "Heaven's Dance of Hazy White!" Hinata's palm attack met their mark directly as it hit several chakra points in only three strikes and the final strike emitting a small beam from both of her hands sending Monosaka skidding across the ground coming a stop on his back. He was completely paralyzed.

"Arghhh! Damn you! You bitch!"

Naruto slowly opened his eyes seeing Hinata with her palm forward like she just attacked somebody and there was skid marks in the ground. Naruto found Monosaka coughing up blood. "Hinata…..you did it….." Naruto was still weak but had enough strength to stand.

Anisaka ran to his brother's side. "Monosaka, lose this foolish mission. You were never meant to be a ninja. Our village is neutral in all this."

"But brother, Grandfather is all our clan has. Without him you know what will happen!"

"You damn fool!" Said someone from behind him. It was the old man standing on a crutch.

Hinata helped Naruto up onto her shoulder. Kiba, Akamaru and Shino came to with them.

Monosaka looked at Grandfather. "Grandfather! You shouldn't be standing in your condition!"

The old man struck Monosaka with his crutch. "You damn fool! I have pretty more life left in me! Instead of worrying about me maybe you should do something to help your village yourself! And this is the best you can come up with! You disgust me!"

Monosaka frowned. "But I'm no leader. I'm only the strong one in the family, I can't be smart."

"And that shouldn't stop you from your place. Maybe you could seek help from your little brother? After all he is the smart one."

Monosaka looked at Anisaka and then the Leaf gang. "Forgive me, I'm not that smart. I guess I was easily tricked by Madara's sweet words."

Kiba smiled. "Don't worry, we have an idiot of our own to deal with."

Naruto frowned and sighed. "No I'm not!"

Everyone laughed.

The old man dropped a flat chest in front of Naruto and the others. "Inside is what you seek."

Naruto and Hinata opened the chest and inside was a glistening platinum sword with the word "Kyohaku" written on the blade. Naruto ogled the sword as he picked it up. "So the keys are swords?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, that one along with Kouu, and Kuma are the keys to unlocking the secret path to the village. Kyohaku has the power to shoot concentrated beams from its blade, but without the others it won't be at full power."

"That's still cool!" Naruto had forgot all about the pain in his stomach.

Hinata put the sword in its sheath and bowed before them. "Thank you for your help. With this our mission is almost complete."

Naruto threw up a thumbs up. "Yeah you rock old guy!"

That brought cheer to the old man's heart. "Well anything for the ones who will bring pride back to the five great shinobi nations. As for Monosaka, his job is to clean up this mess he made."

"What!!" Monosaka argued but got hit with a crutch again.

"Thank you sir but we must be going now. We must meet our friends at the Cloud Village."

Anisaka put up an argument. "Please! Stay here and rest before your trek. We will treat you all to dinner tonight."

Kiba jumped up for joy. "Hell yeah! A free meal! I can't turn that down!"

"Yeah! I'm starving!" Naruto agreed.

Anisaka picked up Monosaka and led them to a hotel and got everybody their rooms settled. After dinner, Naruto and Hinata headed up to their room on Hinata's account but Naruto seriously didn't want to be there especially with his condition, but Hinata begged saying that it would be romantic. Naruto couldn't argue with her, he didn't have the energy for it.

Naruto and Hinata entered their one bedroom hotel. Hinata squealed at the exquisite detail they went into making the décor for the rooms. All Naruto saw was that one bed in the middle of the bed, he didn't pay any attention to the other crap. Hinata went in awe of the décor as played around it like a five year old. Naruto looked at the bed and gulped as he sweated bullets down his face. Hinata noticed Naruto's distress and held his face in her hand. "Naruto-kun what is wrong? You have been acting weird ever since we left yesterday. Now tell me what's wrong?"

Naruto looked at Hinata with sad eyes. "Well I umm have a problem…."

Hinata stopped him right there. "No Naruto I want the truth."

"This is the truth! I have to expend lots of stamina and I have to do it to feed these "urges" I have or else I'm going to bloat up with cramps and eat chocolate till I basically explode and I know this makes no sense but hear me out cause in order to stabilize my metamorphosis phase I have to….well…….we….."

"We what?"

Naruto took a deep breath and let it out. "Have to make love."

"What!!"

"I don't feel so hot saying that." Naruto fainted on the floor backwards.

"Me either." Hinata fainted ontop of him. No one would wake them up until morning.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts on the Star Village. The two cloaked individuals watched Naruto and the others in their fight with Monosaka.

"That Hinata girl is a feisty one. Reminds me of how you used to be." Said the male.

"Oh stop it. You're going to make me blush, and to think we have to break them apart. It breaks my heart."

"I finally got it. The three Lord Madara sent are just guinea pigs for them to defeat and us to analyze and then when the time comes, we destroy them."

"But Naruto may be a problem. He's growing stronger by the minute."

"Yes honey, but its nothing we can't handle."

The both took off their hoods but the shadows concealed their identities as they walked back into the darkness. The Female looked back with a mother look like in her eyes. "Sleep tight young one." She blew a kiss goodnight underneath the stars.

Well part one of the mission is complete but what other dangers do the other ninja possess? Who's the son in the story? What does this all mean? Find out in later installments!
