Naruto and Hinata walked in the forest together with the full moon high above. They spoke of their vengeful plans.
'Why can't we leave no, Naruto-kun?" she sighed. She dreaded going home; she knew more abuse from her family awaited her. Even Neji ceased to care for her.
'We cant because we can still learn more from Ibiki. And were only Gennin, even though we are at at least Chunin level. We have to learn and then be named Chunin before we leave, no one will take in a gennin Nukein. You know that Hinata." Naruto sighed.
Up in the trees, Ibiki was watching with his ex student, Anko.
"I knew they were odd, too held back." Ibiki cursed.
'You know you have to report them." Anko sighed.
"I know." Ibiki looked down, he couldn't believe that the son of the Yondaime was going to try and defect. Why did every apprenticeship he had never worked out?
Anko watched the two as they came to a tree with seals surrounding it. They released together and stepped over the circle, the barrier immediately re closed. Anko narrowed her eyes, and moved closer so she could hear them.
"Hinata please stay with me tonight?" Naruto asked.
"I can't."
"But they'll hurt you again. I can't stand it." Naruto's voice came as a hiss and his eyes darkened to aright scarlet. It occurred to Anko then... they're kids. Kids who were hurt. Kids, like her, that had no ties to Konaha.
'Psst. Naruto, Hinata." She hissed. They both spun, Weapons drawn.
"You need to go. Run now. Ibiki has alerted the Hokage. We heard your plans to destroy Konaha. You need to go."
"How do we know we can trust you?" Naruto hissed.
"You can trust me or be put in prison with Chakra draining seals for the rest of your lives. You may be strong, but not more so than an ANBU squid's" Anko hissed. Hinata and Naruto looked at each other, and climbed the tree. Naruto pulled two scrolls from the trunk, and handed one to Hinata. Anko didn't know, but each scroll held a change of clothes, food, and 50,000 ryo each. They were set.
"Thank you Anko san." Naruto looked at the violet haired lady, then gave a Sadistic grin, 'Maybe when we return, We might spare you." With that, Naruto knocked her out, and the two gennin left.
Anko woke hours later with a groan. Ibiki stood over her.
'What happened." He demanded.
`"one of them made a clone… it snuck up behind me I think… and I don't remember anything else…." Anko feigned being victimized. Ibiki frowned. They had underestimated the children.
"Fan out; no one rests until they are found. They're only genin after all." Ibiki snarled.
No Ibiki-sama. They are more… Anko thought as she shook her head.
Naruto and Hinata flew through the forest, absolutely aware of the four ANBU squads following them. Naruto stopped, and drew a seal on the ground,
'We have to travel faster. Summon no Jutsu!" he yelled, and a puff of smoke formed, and cleared showing a large silver fox the size of a freesin horse with moon colored eyes. Naruto jumped on its back followed by Hinata, 'We have to get out of the Fire nation, Borei." Naruto ordered, the silver fox nodded and turned, darting off in a silver blur. In a matter of hours, Naruto and Hinata were in Wind country, and had lost the ANBU. Borei was panting,
"What is your orders lord Uzumaki?"
"Return to your home and rest. I believe we will find more need of you soon." Naruto replied. The fox dipped his head and vanished. Naruto and Hinata looked over the desert expanse,
"Is Suna allied with Konaha?" Naruto asked.
"No. not right now they're not." Hinata replied. The pair untied the hi-ayte from their throats, and pressed kunai to the leaf symbol. It was with immense pleasure the marred it with a slicing motion. They replaced the bands to their throats, and began walking towards the Suna Village.
Naruto and Hinata reached the gates at sunrise, both dying of thirst.
'Halt, who are you and what is your business in Sunagakure?" the guard asked.
"We are Konaha defects looking for shelter. We won't be here long, we just need water and a place to collect our bearings, and figure out where to go from here." Naruto replied in a croak.
"Right through here, Kaji, take them to the Kazekage, make sure he's ok with them being here" the guard ordered. The smaller male walked in step with the gennin.
"So why are two gennin who look as if they're fresh from the academy defects?" kaji asked.
"We are gennin straight from the academy. Web were mistreated, and someone overheard our plots of revenge, and tattled. So we got out of there before they decided that they wanted to put us in prison." Naruto shrugged.
'What about you gorgeous," he leered at Hinata, "Why a pretty piece like you leave Konaha?" Naruto was there in a silver flash, kunai against his throat, his gaze read loud and clear: She's mine.
"Alright… never mind…" Kaji gulped as he led them into the Hokage's office. There were two boys and a girl there as well. Naruto's interest was piqued at the red headed boy's scent. Shukaku.
'what is it Kaji?" the Kazekage growled.
"These two are defects from Konaha, and wish to take shelter for a couple days. They, aren't used to desert heat, and their journey here has drained them significantly.
"Why are such young ninja defects? You can't be much older than Gaara." The Kazekage actually seemed interested.
"We were going to be driven out any way. We hate Konaha." Hinata snarled. The Kazekage grinned,
'Well, stay as long as you liked. Temari, Kankuro Gaara! Front and center." The three children stood before the two leaf defects, "these are my children. They will show you around." Naruto and Hinata bowed in respect and followed the three out back into the blistering heat.
