As the two young shinobi went in the direction that the boy told them to go they could hear screaming of women, men, and children from a distance they were getting closer to the village that the boy had told them about. Naruto and Hinata got to the gate of the village which laid collapsed on the ground, then the blond haired boy asked the young child he had on his back.

"Do you know where your parents are kiddo."

The little brown haired boy with round green eyes courageously told Naruto.

"They should still be at my house near the end of the village."

Naruto with a nod of his head they were off again now jumping from the roof tops, then they got to the end of the village it was quiet, but then a scream from a woman broke the silence. They went off in the direction of the scream it was a middle aged woman that seemed to be trying to stop the bleeding of a man that had been cut on his leg, but there was a man hovering over them with a mask that wore crimson just like the man from before. The boy on Naruto's back saw the man and woman and instantaneously said.

"Mommy, Daddy!"

The boy then jumped off of Naruto's back and ran towards his father and mother they both seemed shocked that their son was back to them and his father exclaimed.

"What are you doing here son I thought we told you to run and go to the nearest village till we found you again."

Just as the weakened man finished his statement the man with the mask pulled out a kunai and pointed it towards the child and just as he was about to stab the young boy, Naruto yelled at the man and said.

"Hey if you think that we are just going to let you hurt those people you are wrong."

The man stopped himself from stabbing the boy and turned around to see Naruto and Hinata he let out a loud sigh and told them.

"Well looks like I won't be spilling anymore of these peoples blood with you two standing in my way. Well let's get this over with then so that I can go back to killing more people and watching the lotus flowers bloom again."

Both Naruto and Hinata looked at each other with confusion in both their eyes they couldn't really make any sense of this man's priorities but he seemed more logical than the other man they meet. Then as they finished exchanging looks Naruto yelled to the boy and his parents.

"Get out of here and get to somewhere safe!"

Then the masked man seemed not to care about what was going on so he just said in a casual manner.

"Well are we going to fight or are you just going to blabber all day you idiotic child."

Naruto was infuriated by what the man had just said, and he took out one of his kunai and ran to the man as fast as he could. Then as Naruto did so Hinata used her byakugan and hurried after him for support. As Naruto got to the masked man he thrust his kunai into the man's chest. The masked man fell to his knees and looked at Naruto and he told him while he chuckled.

"Is that the best you could do ninja from the leaf."

As the man finished his comment his body turned into petals and fell to the ground, but they didn't turn into a storm like the other mans. Then Naruto was surprised by what had just happened then he sneezed as he did so he heard the man say.

"You leaf shinobi are so bland in your fighting tactics its almost hilarious how predictable you are."

Naruto was enraged by how the man saw his village and his people and then he turned to Hinata and told her.

"Come on Hinata lets finish this fight soon so that we can show him what it means to be a leaf shinobi."

She nodded and both shinobi attacked the masked man but he burst into lotus petals again. The man started to laugh at Naruto's extent and he moved his head from side to side and told him.

"Well looks like we'll be here all day if you keep that up you stupid child."

Naruto smirked and he assured the man that him and Hinata would take him down no matter what the cost.

"Naruto what's wrong?"

Hinata said with a voice of concern while she looked at the young blond shinobi standing in front of a pile of lotus petals frozen still. She then thought to herself that Naruto must be under a genjutsu so she ran to his side and just as she was about to undo the genjutsu Naruto was under the man appeared next to her and just said with a tiny chuckle.

"Hehehe you're too slow."

Just as he finished the man hit Hinata in the stomach and that was enough to make her fall to the ground. Then the man seemed to turn his attention back to Naruto and he then took out his kunai once again, and held it near the blond boys neck and just as he was going to slit his throat, the man was hit in the face, with such force that he was sent flying a few feet. As the man hit the ground with a strong impact he started to laugh at the fact of what just happened and told the lavender eyed girl.

"Now that's what I've been waiting for someone who could pack a punch."

Now Hinata was mad over the fact that the masked man had tried to kill Naruto she shouted at him with anger in her voice.

"Done you dare hurt Naruto I will protect him with my life."

"Well hopefully you can hold your end of the bargain girl."

Then Hinata started to attack the man, but he was quicker than she was and he counter almost all of Hinata's attacks perfectly. They both exchanged blows but neither of their hits landed on each other. Then the man was shocked by how well the young kunochi was blocking most of his attacks. The man then started to tell Hinata that she won't be able to beat him and when she loses he will also kill the young blond boy. Hinata then hit the man in the face with about the same amount of force as the last time she hit him, but now his masked seem to be breaking from every corner. Now the man stood up and looked at the girl and smiled now that most of his mask was gone and he told her with an angered voice.

"Now that's what I was waiting for, someone who actually won't hold back. Then again it's too bad that I'm going to have to kill you now."

The man was now moving at a faster speed than before and this time his barrage of attacks were able to get through Hinata's counter's and blocks. She let out screams of pain from the painful attacks that he landed on her. Then she collapsed to the ground and the man crouched down next to her as she was trying to get up and he told her.

"Well looks like you did try to protect him with your life but just like all shinobi from the leaf you all end up failing in the end. Now look at the boy you tried to protect he is just standing there doing absolutely nothing, but I will say that I did have fun so now I'm going to kill him and I'm going to make you watch."

Hinata was now terrified by what the man said but she couldn't do anything as she started to faint due to the pain she had endured and she then looked at Naruto and started she started to cry, and her final thoughts were "Naruto I failed to protect you I deserve no better than to die." and then her vision drifted off into darkness.

Naruto was now getting exhausted because he seem to have gone through about hundreds of lotus petal clones that the masked man had made. Naruto was surprised at the fact that the man could make so many clones time and time again without exhausting his chakra. Now the blond boy turned to Hinata and asked her what they could do, and she responded with.

"We could burn his chakra out if we keep fighting his clones."

As she finished Naruto agreed to her idea and told her to rest up a bit before she joined the battle again she smiled and thanked Naruto. The man saw this and thought to himself "That's interesting the boy truly cares about that girl maybe I could break his will and finish him off if I kill the fake girl in the genjutsu." The man then chuckled and ran over to where the lavender eyed girl was, while Naruto was off attacking one of the clones that he had made. Then the man yelled so that he could get Naruto's attention, and just as the blond boy turned around to look at the man. The masked ninja was holding her back and it seemed like she was trying to struggle out, but as she struggled he pulled out a kunai and he drove it straight into her chest where her heart should be. Then there was a splatter of blood that flew into the air, and then the man chuckled at threw the poor girls body down to the ground. Naruto was shocked by what he just saw he had just seen his true love get killed right before his very eyes, but a few moments later the blue eyed boy grew with rage, his eyes turned as red as blood itself. Naruto was so enraged that he started to talk to Kurama which he had become close to that past year.

"I don't care what it takes but I want to beat him to a literal pulp do you understand me!"

Kurama then turned to the enraged boy and spoke seriously to him.

"I'll give you my chakra but you have to control yourself beca..."

Naruto interrupted the giant fox and told him in the most angered voice that Naruto has ever had.

"I don't care if I can't control myself all I want is to kill him because he just killed Hinata, do you understand what that means I'll never see her again."

Just then Kurama actually felt scared for being in the mere presence of the boy and so he told him.

"Fine I'll give you my chakra, but don't act so carelessly."

Naruto was now filled with rage and chakra from Kurama, there was so much chakra flowing through Naruto at such an agitated pace so therefore the genjutsu started to fall apart .

Now Naruto was out of the genjutsu, and the man was about to slice Naruto's throat, but then there was a sudden flash of red that meet with the man's face he went flying trough a building and was barely able to stand back up. Then he looked at the direction he was just standing at there was nothing, not even the blond boy. By now the man was wondering where the boy went and what had hit him, but just as he finished that thought a flash of red appeared before him it was in the shape of a rabid fox. The man was now shocked by what he saw and asked "What are you?" Now Naruto spoke just one word while he was in such a state and it was "Death!" The man started to laugh and just as he did so Naruto let out all his anger towards the man, he started to beat the man first starting to hit his face blood flew in all directions and then Naruto wasn't satisfied yet so he started to claw at the man's chest and the man started to cry pleas of surrender and told him that he didn't want to die. Just as Naruto finished clawing at the man he grabbed him and threw him out into the street again, then he lunged towards the man as he did so a strong wind that burned followed Naruto, but what he didn't notice was Hinata fainted on the ground as he jumped towards the man. Then as Naruto was still pummeling the poor man, Hinata started to wake up because she felt some of the burn from the wind earlier, she could hear the sound of bone breaking. Hinata then got up and saw that Naruto was engulfed by the foxes red cloak and she was amazed at the fact that he was in such a state, then she could hear the man screaming for help so she ran towards where Naruto was. She had finally got there and she was shocked by the site the man was barely alive and was surrounded by a large pool of blood, as Naruto kept hitting him. Hinata shouted to Naruto in a desperate voice.

"Naruto stop please this isn't like you."

Naruto's fist stopped from hitting the man once more and he turned to Hinata. The red fox figure started to walk towards her while it still had that vicious look on its face. It was now right in from of her the red fox started to calm down and the cloak seemed to be fading away. The young blond boy looked at Hinata and he instantly started to cry, then he hugged the dark haired girl and cried even more onto her shoulder. Hinata was surprised by this and asked Naruto.

"What's wrong Naruto why are you crying."

Naruto looked at her with a sad expression in his eyes and said.

"I thought that you died because that man stabbed you with a kunai in the chest."

Hinata then explained to Naruto that he was actually under a genjutsu the whole time so she never really got hurt that bad. Naruto turned to look at the man that was still laying on the ground with blood everywhere and it seemed like he wanted to hit him one last time, but Hinata grab his jacket and told him.

"Naruto he already lost now we should keep going with our mission."

Then Naruto turned and told her.

"Aren't we suppose to eliminate them?"

Now Hinata was holding Naruto's hand and she told him.

"Well I think the village people will take care of him they need to get payback too."

Naruto then smiled and looked at Hinata and agreed that they should keep going with their mission, but just as they were leaving the village Naruto turned to Hinata and he told her.

"Hinata can you check if my shoulder is hurt."

Hinata smiled and she told him.

"Sure Naruto I'll check for you."

As Hinata checked Naruto's shoulder he said with a small smirk on his face.

"My shoulder isn't really hurt, but I just wanted to do this one more time."

Then as he finished Naruto leaned toward Hinata and he kissed her. Hinata started to blush furiously and she told him.

"Naruto-kun do you really care about me so much like you said earlier."

Naruto's face started to blush completely but he was able to say what he had on his mind.

"Hinata I don't just care about you a lot... but... I love you."

Hinata was surprised by what the blond boy had just said and only responded with.

"I love you too Naruto."

Then they kissed once again and everything around them seemed to fade away and it seemed like they were the only people on the planet. Then after them being like that for a good amount of time Naruto remembered that they still had to finish their mission so he told Hinata and she agreed so now they were off to continue the mission with their new profound love for each other.
