Aishiteru, Hinata-chan

Chapter 3

~*~*~*~

"Nani?!" 5 voices screeched.

"I said I'm going to find the antidote. If you have a problem, tell someone who cares." The other ninja squirmed under my intense gaze.

'Man, Hinata is scarier than Sakura-chan when Naruto is involved.' Sasuke thought in surprise and mild respect for the young Hyuuga. A few seconds passed before Tsunade sighed.

"There's no way to change your mind, is there?" she asked, though it sounded more like a statement to me.

I shook my head and she sighed once more before continuing. "Fine. I will get the rest of Team Kurenai," she turned to the remainder of the room, "as well as Team Kakashi." They all nodded. "You will lead them, Hinata."

"Hai. Can you tell the rest of my team to meet us at your office. We need to conduct some research first."

The lady Hokage nodded before sticking her head out of the door and yelling for an ANBU. When 3 came, she barked orders at them until they disappeared in puffs of smoke.

I redirected my attention to the unconscious blonde in my arms.

'Hang in there, Naruto-kun. Iwill find that antidote.'

~*~*~*~

Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai filed into the office, one at a time, and stood next to me in front of Tsunade's desk.

"Now," she started, "if you don't already know, you will be searching for an antidote to heal Naruto." We all nodded. "Very well. Hinata, I have the information you wanted."

I picked up the folder that was slid across the desk. "The group of ninja we fought were from a village in the mountains. Damaiyo City it says." I thought back to the fight I had witnessed.

Flashback

I had just woken up to see Naruto's back and another figure. A girl with long black hair pulled into a ponytail stood in front of him.

"Get out of my way, you demon!" she screeched.

"If you want Hinata-chan, you have to go through me." My heart fluttered.

'Wow…' was all I could think.

She grinned evilly and cracked her knuckles. "I'll make you a promise then. I, Rumiko Sanota, promise to defeat you and steal the Byakugan." Her eyes saddened. "So my Otou-san will love me again."

"Gomen," Naruto apologized with the most serious tone I'd ever heard him use. "You're about to break that promise."

Rumiko scowled before charging, a kunai in each hand. The sound of clashing metal echoed off the forest walls as Naruto countered her attack with a pointed knife of his own. She pulled back and kicked aiming for his head. He immediately ducked and did a sweep kick, knocking her to the ground. Right before he was about to punch her in the stomach, she did a backwards handspring and jumped to safety.

'Kuso!' he thought.

The strange kunoichi charged yet again and tried to kick him in the side of the head. Before she could, he grabbed her foot and twisted it, causing her to spin towards the ground. She uncovered a hidden and slashed across his chest then falling to the ground.

The blonde shinobi backed up inspect the wound. It was just a flesh wound so he didn't pay it any mind as he charged up signature jutsu.

"Kage bushin no jutsu!" With my Byakugan activated, I saw him whisper, "Henge no jutsu."

2 Narutos appeared and I saw 3 floating chakra networks behind her. 1 Naruto started to mold chakra into a blue swirl in the original's right palm then dissipated. He and the other clone jumped into the air.

Rumiko tried to run but found herself surrounded by smoke. Then being held by 3 pairs of arms. 3 Narutos (that were transformed into rocks of the ground) appeared behind her, grinning like crazy.

The Naruto clone grabbed the original's arm and whipped him towards the girl. The ball of spiraling blue energy twisted into her stomach and she let out a piercing scream.

His jutsu completed, Naruto dispelled the last of the clones and went to check her body. She had a small pulse. Before he could pick her up, a kunai embedded itself into the ground in front of him. No one came out, so he stepped away from the kunoichi and back to stand in front of me, back turned.

"Are you okay?" he asked, finally looking at me.

"H-hai, Naruto-kun."

"I'm glad…" he smiled before falling.

As I caught him, a muscular man jump from the trees and land by Rumiko's body. He checked her pulse before picking her up bridal style.

He turned his gaze on me and nodded before retreating.

I blinked then looked at my unconscious comrade. 'I have to get him back to the village.'

I put him down carefully then moved a safe distance away. I bit my thumb and drew, recalling what I had learned while searching through scrolls at a hidden library. I was actually looking to improve my Jyuuken, but I then found this.

A few complicated hand signs later, I slammed my hand to the ground and yelled, "Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

A poof of smoke cleared to reveal a large saber-toothed tiger. It looked at me and smiled a toothy smile.

"Oh, hey Hinata-chan!"

I panted a bit from the jutsu but gave a weak smile. 'Hi, Rita-chan. Can you do me a huge favor, onegai(1)?"

Her face went serious. "What can I do?"

"Can you carry him to Konoha for me?" I asked, pointing to object of my affection.

Rita nodded her large and grabbed him with her tail before placing him gently on her back. I nodded to her and she took off with amazing speed.

I tried to follow but a sharp pain ran through my body and I tumbled to the ground. In all the excitement, I'd forgotten why I'd been unconscious in the first place.

She must have noticed my absence because Rita reappeared as fast as she had left. Without a word, her large furry tail surrounded me and placed me next to Naruto. I pulled him closer and buried my face into his shoulder, hoping he would be okay.

End Flashback

"I know who poisoned him." Everyone stared at me wide-eyed.

"Really, Hinata?" Kiba asked surprised.

I nodded. "And now I know where we can find her."

'I'm coming for you, Rumiko Sanota.'
