The Plan for Hinata Hyuga
A/N: I hope that the last chapter was good, so may this one be as well if not better. I am also starting to think about bending the storyline more, including the Akatsuki having new objectives as well as new chuunin victors, but only minor ones. GEKKO HAYATE MUST LIVE!
Disclaimer: If I did own Naruto, the above statement would have occurred, Hayate would have lived.
--------------------
Chapter Seven: Akatsuki Strike!
As one would have expected, my visit to the Hokage went about as one would expect, horribly. It all started when I entered through the front door, a mistake one should never make again.
I instantly had about four chuunin people surround me and begin to bombard me with questions and general statements about how one as young as me must not exist in here. "I am here to see the Hokage about a favor. Wait, why are you guys still talking, SHUT THE HELL UP!" This actually caused them to back away like scared dogs, muttering something about 'respecting your elders'.
As I was led up the freakishly inefficient stairway up to the office. 'I should have teleported, it would have been faster, unless I barged in on something I should not have to see…' I immediately regretted those thoughts, as mental images of every woman, and Sasuke who qualifies as a girl, in disturbing positions appeared out of nowhere.
"Curse you perverted mind!" Then as fifteen assistants turned their heads to do the death gaze at me, I teleported into the Hokage's office. "Finally… Hello, Sarutobi, are you there?" No one responded, except for the small rift in the wall behind me that I totally ignored in total idiocy.
"You should be more aware, little one." Then I reached behind me to stop the attackers, well, attack. I ended up grabbing a sort of gigantic blade, a katana or greatsword I presume. Turning around to face the attacker, I received a quick slash across the face, which did no physical damage.
"Who the hell are you?" The assailant only replied with a toothy grin, revealing the teeth of a shark. Not to mention blue skin and what seemed to be an overly large bandaged popsicle. "Weird, you missed on purpose." Then I felt the aftereffect of the blow, my chakra was diminishing with each swing of the popsicle blade.
"I am Kisame, and you are already dead. You are to die to further our ambitions, we need your ability, Kail Kazerai." Well that was overly cliché and dramatic. 'You are already dead, MWAHAHAHA! Traditional archenemy speech.' As I thought about the utter cheesiness of that speech, about five more swings came my way.
"You, sir, are already dead. Let's see if you can keep up, Kisame Hoshigake. For your information, you are in the bingo book, I took a look at it from over Kakashi's shoulder." I then stuck my tongue out at him, and with the appropriate hand sign, I teleported, leaving behind a portal for him to follow.
-Scene Change-
I had led him straight outside of the village, so no one could be hurt, except me and him. To my surprise, the shark guy followed, sporting a sort of frown across his face.
"Let me guess, you trapped this place?" I shook my head, that would have been to obvious and boring. "So, you are taunting me, well guess what you pest. Feel the sting of my blade!" I watched as in one swift movement, the bandaging around the popsicle blade ripped apart, revealing the gaudiest sword ever, complete with about a thousand small points sticking off of it.
"I am sorry to disappoint you, but your blade looks uglier than Sakura." As my inner laugh died down, shark man over there rushed at me with a blast of speed. I put as much chakra into my palm as possible and parried the lunge, following up with a palm strike with enough force to blow a hole through seven trees.
I hit directly at the heart, yet the blow did nothing to affect him. The only reaction was a poof of smoke telling me that it was a clone. 'Will the inventor of cloning please stand up so that we may shoot you, thank you and burn in hell.' "Where are you shark boy? Come out and play with me." I then activated the sense of the winds, getting ready for the showdown of my short life.
I ran straight ahead to his location, near a small creek. Little did I know that this was only a set up.
-Scene Change, again-
"Leader, we have the child in battle, but he is a little annoying in his evasion. Yes sir, he is going to come, willingly or not. Yes sir, we will succeed with his power intact. YES SIR, HE WILL NOT WIN THIS TIME, KISAME OUT. Geez that guy has the worst temper in the world…" I overheard only the last two sentences, but apparently two is enough.
"You want me for what exactly, and who is your leader so I can kill him after I'm done with you?" I asked, demanding the truth. My mind said 'get the hell out of there or you're going to die,' while I thought 'I am going to die regardless, so what the hell, take him on!'
"Kid, now you have heard things you shouldn't have. Arashi is going to kill me if you don't come with me alive. Itachi, are you there?" Wait, Itachi, Itachi… I had heard that name before, yet it wasn't coming to me. However, the blow in the chest from the Itachi fellow said otherwise.
"This is the one who nearly took Kakuzu out last time? At least we know he can take on my brother now." Itachi spoke with a certain deadly air around him. He was a member of the Akatsuki, I remember the slash across the hitai-ate from my memories of the traumatic event that supposedly killed Shiro.
"Kakuzu was the guy that killed my brother right? Why do you need me, I'm only a kid!" I screeched out the next part, even with the air outside of my lungs. Then, I remembered the moment Shiro 'died', with the feelings and all.
Rage flowed over me in the form of chakra, in the form of a bolt of lightning. "With this bolt, Shiro will be avenged! Repent your sins, allow my rage to consume you, death will come swift!" I felt these words not coming from me, but my rage itself. Then I lost consciousness with my vision becoming taken over with crimson, with blood.
-Scene Change-
(A/N: Yes, another mental scene. Hopefully it may clear some things up. Bear with me folks.)
I stood up from my position on the ground. I felt the ground beneath me, expecting soft grass like the plains from my last mental area, yet I felt nothing but cold, hard stone. My vision was not covered in crimson, as I last remembered, but was slowly beginning to restore itself to its normal state.
"Welcome young one. You seek many answers, yet those answers will only become more questions. I am Azareneumo, a manifestation of your mind, a spirit of your soul." I looked forward to a small platform that rose above the surroundings, a platform that shone with an eerie glow, much like chakra of one's life force.
"Why do you exist in my subconscious? Why do I keep returning to my mind? What happened with the battle, am I even alive?" These were just a few of my questions, I had a whole flood's worth of questions that needed some serious answering in my mind.
"I exist here as a part of you, a guardian if you will. I am the source of your immense powers, which is also the reason why the Akatsuki are after you. They want me to be able to easily seal demons, and into themselves as well, for that is our power's strength. Without me, your chakra and strength would be about the level of the average beginner chuunin, with me you have a higher power. As for the battle, you won, the bolt of chakra caused them to flee after it went straight through Kisame's sword, so yes, you are indeed alive." Apparently I now had some great sealing powers that no one had ever told me about. Great, I'm the one who gets freakishly overpowered assassins sent after them. 'Why me?'
"I know what you are thinking while you are in here, why you? The answer is simple, you would have died if I hadn't chosen you as my container, if you so will. That moment when your guardian, or friend or whatever, died and that Akatsuki assassin came after you for answers to his own questions, you would have died if you hadn't of had my chakra and abilities to dig into. These abilities being those such as the lightning bolt, as well as many others, such as sealing even the greatest beasts with extreme ease." Okay, that barely cleared things up.
"So you 'chose' me when I was younger and was about to die? So why was the Akatsuki after me before you took residence in my body and mind?" This was like the Round Robin of questions and answers, just inside the player's mind.
"Yes, I guess you can call it 'choosing' you, but I would not go as far as to call you the 'chosen one', whoever thought up that title has to be either a complete idiot or a complete genius. As for the Akatsuki problem, I think they needed your help to take out the Raikage or something, he was your father so it only makes sense. Why they would want to kill your father, no one knows, maybe he had some great treasure or something to enable them to get stronger. I really have no clue, ask them the next time they attack you, if you have the chance." There was no help there, this supposed guardian was about as knowledgable as me.
Suddenly, tremors shook the area where we stood in my mind, which totally made no sense what so ever. "Why is the 'earth' quaking? There's no faultlines or anything here, so what is going on?" Apparently surprised about the fact that I knew where most earthquakes originated, the Azareneumo guy stood there in the thinking pose.
"I think that means that my holding you here is coming to an end, you will return to the fighting area. I put you on autopilot while you weren't controlling yourself, so expect the weirdest when you return to your own body, the autopilot acts on your emotions. Sayonara! Oh, and if you need my help, just go into a life-threatening situation, I'll appear then." Then that annoying ring appeared around me. The only things heard in the last moments were me groaning in repetitiveness and boredom, as well as the flash of light signifying me going back into my own body.
-Scene Change-
Despite what the unwanted resident in my mind said, I did expect the weirdest, yet what happened was not expected. I was standing at the top of the Hokage monument, at the exact spot where I had that fateful night with Hinata. 'Oh no, is what I think happening? NO!' Then I looked in front of me, and lo and behold, there was Hinata. Take a guess at what was happening, don't think to hard.
That's right, we were kissing, and she seemed like she was stunned. "What just happened? Did you kiss me or did I kiss you?" I said after the kiss, which I hope was not that passionate, broke apart like a guitar string, really fast and will probably cause blood if it strikes you to hard.
"I think you kissed me, b-but i-it was go-od?" She started to have that one 'I can't speak a complete sentence with out stuttering' problem. On the other hand, I was totally stunned and Hinata was blushing, and hard too.
"You're face is light up like Christmas lights. I was not controlling myself, it was an accident that one cannot explain without sounding like they were mentally insane, trust me. You like Naruto, not me, so why I did that I do not know..." I started to ramble on and on, while Hinata was kind of recovering from the stunning as well as the blushing like a tomato effect.
"I bet you aren't insane, and I do like Naruto still... But that was my first kiss, and it was definitely not what I imagined. You coming up here and confessing your 'unbridled reservoir of love' for me, then kissing me unexpectadly, then immediately doing this. You will need some explaining, but I will believe that was just a genjutsu, we all know your defense against a genjutsu is worse than that of a three-year-old." We both laughed at the end part. (Sadly, it was true.)
"We'll go with the genjutsu explanation, it is definitely more believable. Did I really say 'reservoir of love'? That is the corniest thing humanly imaginable, it sounds like something that Kiba would try to say after looking at a dictionary, if he knew how to read one..." Once again, laughter resumed, except it was followed by tears from lack of air.
"Well, -giggle- did you activate -breathing- plan part one yet, Kail?" Truth is, I had totally forgotten with all of the weird things occuring now.
"Umm, I am hinting that you like him. Maybe I should tell him to meet you here?" Plan part two is now undergoing development, Kail Kazerai-style. Yeah, thats right!
"NOOOO. Whatever you do don't do that! We have to find out if he likes me first, but how? I'm thinking that a challenge for my 'love' should be issued, but how to put it without stating that it's me that likes him?" She was right, that would work if we could find out how to get that to work.
"Maybe I should ask him who he likes, maybe ask for his dream girl or something. If he says Sakura, I am going to beat the living hell out of him..." Hinata then yelped saying "Don't kill him!"
"That would work though, you could ask him that. Then we could place a fake mission to have Naruto come and save me, to see if he would risk his life to do so."
"That's pure genius! That would work. Listen here Hinata, Naruto will know of your crush by the end of the next year or so! Just kidding, I'll give it a week or two, tops." A sigh coming from Hinata, followed by a smile told me that would work.
"Well, I have to see Sarutobi about the exams first. I'll commence plan part two tomorrow. Actually let's call it 'The Plan for Hinata Hyuga'!"
---------------------
A/N: Well atleast we know how I got the title for the story. (As if that wasn't totally obvious already.) Oh, and the Akatsuki arc is going to become more important later on probably, I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING PEOPLE! I am writing just to write, to satiate the masses, to give me something to do over the summer, and to allow my creativity to overflow. Oh, and if anyone has any clue about how to make the task for entry into the exams cool, just give it to me in a review, just don't make the task anything too utterly cruel, like making him date Sakura, eww.
Review, or else those mind sequences will occur about every five-hundred words in a chapter. We really don't want that now do we folks? I thought so... Remember to confess about your RESERVOIR OF LOVE! -commences intense laughing and snickering, then gets hit in head with a brick- OWW, WHO THREW THAT?
