The Plan for Hinata Hyuga
A/N: Wow, a fifth chapter, definitely new territory for me as a writer. Now let's see if my focus from earlier chapters has transferred over. May this chapter be good, and satiate my soul! Oh, and here is where I start to bend the storyline a little, but I could happen...
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did, I would outlaw the very words 'Believe it!' Whoever thought of that is a 'genius'...
-------------------------
Chapter Five: The Plan, Attempt at Part One
It was day one of the plan for attention, which was about three days after our moonlight encounter, if you shall. If Hinata could not officially declare her love for that weirdly hyperactive ninja, then I would have to help hint at it.
I began to look for the blond in all the usual spots: Ichiraku's Ramen Bar, the training grounds, his 'house' which could be better described as a cyclone of trash, and even the Hokage office. Let's just not mention that moment, especially when I barged in on Konohamaru, quite possibly the most annoying brat in the entire village, while he was testing the newly patented Sexy no Jutsu. Eww, that was just nasty.
"Where could that dreamer be?" Then I turned around to see Naruto walking in the direction of the training grounds, along with that freak Sasuke, who just looked at me with his "Tch."
"Hey, Naruto! Can I spar with you today?" Then I ran forward in a blur, knocking over Sasuke in the process. "Sasuke, with your training you should have avoided that. I see we are definitely not getting better skill-wise. Tsk-tsk." I then started to walk off with Naruto.
Somewhere from behind me, a kunai flew past my head, and it was on fire. I shrugged and kept walking, however the fireball coming at my back said otherwise to my actions. "Don't think you are better than an Uchiha, your only a weakling." I back-flipped over the fireball, which then smashed forward into a certain Tenten, which then set her on fire.
"Is that right, lover boy? Let's see if all your fan girls, and boys, are right in picking the esteemed Uchiha for his power and skill. Meet me at training grounds, you are going to regret your attitude." I could barely hold in a laugh at the mental image of all the fans crying over the small grave of the Uchiha's attitude. "Hahahaha!" Okay, apparently I could not hold it in.
"I accept your measly challenge, Kazerai. And what is with the laugh… freak." Well he obviously is one to be talking about being a freak. Time to retort.
"Well, in accepting the challenge, as stated in part two of my imagination you also have to race me to the spot of the battle. Oh, and I'm already there." I waved at him from about two miles away.
-Scene Change-
Sasuke had arrived about two minutes later, with his hands in his pockets, mumbling his generic phrases like, "Tch," and "Tch," and a few more of the, "Tch," phrases. He was also muttering things about how childish I was.
Anyways, we were ready to battle. I swung my leg in a small arc in the sand that made up the small circular arena, creating a small dune with the movement. "Ready, go!" Was uttered from the voice of the referee, who was standing a safe distance away.
The start of the battle went by in a blur, as well as our movements. Sasuke charged forward towards my starting position, I was not even going to move from the spot. One kunai was in his grasp, apparently he had no problem in utilizing deadly force to eliminate a pest like me.
"Wind Style: Earthen Gust!" I formed a couple of random hand signs, for this jutsu did not even exist, it was only my recent tactic. I yelled this out as an attempt to distract him. He immediately looked downward for the wind, stopping about six feet ahead of me. "Perfect, Body Flicker."
I rushed forward in a blur, following the jutsu with a swift left leg striking straight into Sasuke's ribs and a punch to the face. Sasuke fell with a small thud, clutching his stomach in pain. "No, not precious Sasuke's skin!" Apparently a crowd of Sasuke fans had appeared to watch the match in horror.
"Will you all please look away, the blood may cause fainting. Oh, and Sasuke, your girlfriends want you." The taunt actually caused Sasuke to rush at me in anger, a stupid move.
I struck at Sasuke after dodging his attempted punch. However, only a smoke of puff appeared. "Oh hell no, a clone?" I looked around and made a hand sign. "Wind Style: Hurricane Shield!" Winds started to appear and circle around me in a 360 degree defense. 'I dare him to beat that.'
Then I heard a small muttering that was carried on the winds as an attack name. "Fire Style: Magma Strike." Then the ground beneath me lit with a red tint, the tint of the very magma.
"I hate to do this but, Wind Style: Rising Wings!" I then felt wings of chakra appear around me and then started to lift in the air. I barely flew about four inches to the left of the magma burst and then searched for Sasuke. 'Wait, that one jutsu might work. The one I used on Kara.'
"Wind Style: Sense of the Winds!" With the sense of any wind disturbance, the defense of the shield, and the wings for flight, Sasuke was doomed. I then realized something, my chakra was running extremely low. 'One last attack, I have four seconds to strike him.'
"Tch, you are no match for me. Die, Fire Style: Grand Fireball!" I looked towards the fireball that was rushing toward me at a high speed. Then I saw Sasuke behind the flames, grinning like a hyena at his supposed victory.
"Wind Style: Sandstorm Strike of the Ages!" The row of sixteen hand signs finished while I searched, the small dune of sand that I had earlier made was formed into a small ball of compact wind energy, which a launched straight at the flames.
The heat of the flames turned the sand to glass, which was propelled straight for Sasuke, but at angles that would only either wound him or trap him against the tree behind him. Game over.
The glass hit the mark, trapping him against the tree, and the wind chakra blew him into the very bark. However, the chakra I put into the attack came from the chakra in my shield and wings, causing me to drop, out of the way of Sasuke's fireball.
"Huh?" Then I felt a pain in my legs, causing me to look down. I must have forgot that I was flying about twenty feet in the air, around the height of the trees, and had hit the ground full force. "Guys, I think I sprained an ankle. Hello? Oh great, the entire crowd fainted from Sasuke's defeat. WILL ANYONE FREAKIN' HELP ME?"
-Scene Change-
"Thanks Naruto for taking me back home. Did you see the fight, it was awesome minus the fall." I asked Naruto as he laid me down on the couch of his apartment that he gladly shared with me when he found out that I got kicked out of Kara's house. That was mostly because she should have taught me how to use the kitchen utensils, or else the house would not be undergoing renovations right now.
"I'm sorry, I saw the beginning but I got hungry. Sorry!" He yelped out the last part anticipating that I would have whacked him upside the head, mostly due to the fact I had my hand raised next to his ear.
"Hey, Naruto, just between you and me, I heard that someone likes you, a kunoichi in fact. I just don't know who yet, sadly." That dropped the bomb. "Oh, and that's okay that you missed the end, everyone else did too. Even Sasuke forcefully made himself forget the smack down I laid on him. A side note for you, he is not as strong as everyone believes."
Not only did we laugh at that remark, but Naruto sat down and his face contorted into a weird look, it kind of looked as though he was hurting his mind. Yep, he was attempting to think. "Who do you the admirer is, I don't know who it could be. And have you heard that Sasuke's fan club filled up the hospital today after your match?"
"So that's why you didn't take me to the hospital, that and plus last time I went to a hospital, I saw six doctors using a defibulator to cure a cold. And after today, I doubt anyone will even be able to recognize Sasuke's face. If they can, they definitely won't like him anytime soon." That created more laughter from Naruto and me.
Then, just to break up the moment, Kara knocked down the door. "Uh, guys, I've been knocking at the door for about a minute now. You kids have missions, for your seperate teams, oh and your door's broken." She then left after taking some food from a cabinet.
Then we both nodded and I told Naruto to go get his missions, and probably get some help for me from a medic nin. This might take a while.
-Scene Change-
After about two days, Naruto and me had both had about sixty D-ranked missions. We even had to rescue the same freakin' cat seperately about four times, I eventually got so fed up that I told her to lock the cat up, or break its legs. That got a reaction.
Then Naruto and the rest of Team Seven got a C-ranked mission to go protect some bridgebuilder, and we still hadn't gotten anything higher than a D-rank. It was time to make a scene. Me, Kiba, who had started to actually like me slightly more after I beat the hell out of Sasuke, Shino, who I think hates me, it's kind of hard to tell with his stoic nature, and Hinata were in the mission room, for the seventy-ish time today.
I swore that if they gave us one more D mission, hell was to pay, and the cost would probably end up as the repair bill to the Hokage office. "What is the mission this time, it had better be a C-rank..." With that threat in line, combined with three of us cracking our knuckles, caused the chuunin to start sweating up a storm. "Well?"
"Umm, you had a certain mission, but suddenly it magically changed into this C-rank mission. Have a happy day, and please don't kill me!" Well at least someone finally caught the hints that I drop. The mission card just stated about the simplest quest ever.
We were to track down these three bandits in the Land of Waves, which was apparently under supreme stress right now. The thieves had started to steal supplies for the new bridge that was being threatened by a tycoon dude named Gato, which sounded familiar for some reason. Well, at least we got to fight some one and get out of here. However, it stated that the three bandits had minor training as ninja, so they could use minor jutsu. "It will be like fighting Sasuke again!"
-Scene Change-
We started to leave to get ready for our new mission, and Kurenai went ahead to arrange travel options and some other stuff I was not paying attention to. I went in the direction of my house, but then I realized something about the mission. We had to go as a team, and Shino had been acting weird lately. I wonder what his problem is, oh well at least I can formulate more of a plan.
I had never gone a mission before, I had only heard of them from my parents and the jounin. Apparently, we would be out of town for a while so I had to pack as much as possible. Having to buy loads of food that I could not cook, as seen before with Kara's house, was definitely a pain. I ended up buying enough food for everyone by myself, at least we would not go hungry any time soon.
Eventually we met at the gate at the entrance to the village, waving bye to everyone we knew along the way, including the evil mob of Sasuke fans who tried to kill me on the way. The only people that came to see me were Ino Yamanaka and Shikamaru Nara, who I had met at the nearby training grounds and started to spar with. I finally had gotten to the point where I could stump Shikamaru in battle, well about 13 of the time.
"Bye everyone, we will take pictures, or at least bring something back. Bye!" With shouts and goodbyes flying around for our first out of town mission, we left, headed to the Land of Waves. Little did we know that a certain someone would meet us there, a certain foe.
---------------------------------
A/N: Well, can anyone guess who that someone is? Oh, and the Shino thing will comeback later, and the plan will not be put into action for a while, after the mission. As with the last chapter, if anyone wants certain people to at least have a chance of living, unlike in the original storyline, review or email your suggestions to me. Next chapter we have some more action, and some insight into Kail's past.
Reviews are like jello, we always have room and time for jello. Hmm, lime-flavored reviews, my favorite!
