Chapter 4, I've got this far already? I don't know how I did it, I've actually rewritten this chapter once as originally Hinata was a lot more violent and ruthless, then I realized I was going too far and changed it to this, and Tora has reappeared briefly, Due to the havoc that cat wreaks on the Ninja I've upgraded the capture mission from a D-Class to a C-Class. P.S I changed the chapter name to fit the new content as I had a different idea as to what I was goint to do with this chapter when I wrote the last one.

Chapter 4: The Thousand Step Journey (Missions and Problems)

Naruto, Hinata and Kiba had been in a team for several weeks, they'd completed 8 C-Class missions and were being considered for a B-Class mission when they got the one mission nobody wants to get the infamous D-Class mission that has now been upgraded to C-Class, The capture and recovery of the Daimyo's Wife's pet cat Tora, Due to almost 120 Shinobi and Kunoichi being injured by the cat, Sarutobi the Hokage decided to upgrade it to a C-Class mission, that way at least the poor Shinobi and Kunoichi at least got paid better.

On the outskirts of Konoha Team Kakashi crouch in wait for the cat to move so they could get a lock on it. "This is Oracle, the objective is 24 feet to the right of Ice Dragon and 36 feet in front of Wolverine and Red-fur, Oversight do we have a go?" Hinata asked over the radio.

"This is Oversight, Capture is go" Kakashi responded.

"Ice Dragon, Complying" Naruto said while moving towards the cat.

"Wolverine and Red-fur, Complying" Kiba said as he got into position.

They counted to three in their heads before simultaneously jumping at the cat, Naruto and Kiba got scratched before Hinata grabbed the cat from behind and held it so it could attack them anymore. Naruto looked at the cat and said "Black cat with a ribbon on its head, It's Tora now we've got to take him back, poor bastard" The other three members of Team 8 had to agree with that.

Hokage's Office 30 minutes later.

The Daimyo's Wife was overjoyed to get her pet back and happily rushed out squeezing the poor thing while every Ninja seeing that sight thought No Wonder It Runs Away!. Naruto, Hinata and Kiba stood before the Hokage to await their next assignment, Sarutobi smiled and said "Well done, For your next mission you'll be escorting a bridge builder Tazuna to Wave country and defending him while he completes the bridge."

The three nodded and then from behind them came a voice saying "These three, I'm getting green recruits, I mean the girl loo-" Tazuna started before the bottle of sake in his hand was shattered by a kunai thrown by Naruto, While Hinata had started to blush furiously from what he had said, Naruto had managed to help her lose the stutter, but her confidence wasn't up to scratch just yet, But it wouldn't be long before she was ready to stand on her own, at least that's what Naruto thought, Tazuna was still shaking from his sake bottle begin shattered when Naruto said.

"It's rude to talk about other people that way when they are in the same room as you, a man as old as yourself should know that, unless all that sake has gone to your head?"

Tazuna turned purple before shouting "You little brat I'm going to-" He was cut off by Naruto disappearing and then reappearing a step in front of him with Hyōrinmaru held at his throat.

Naruto smirked before saying "Remember this! We are Ninja and in the world of the Ninja you cannot trust your eyes for looks are deceiving and faces maybe altered. Remember or you might die at the hands of a girl who's only 7, believe me on that because I know such a girl!" Tazuna looked shaken but at the same time reassured.

Tazuna grinned "Well at least I know you've got skills young one, I would hate to be your enemy when you get older! If you this strong now in 2 years time where will you be I wonder?" Kakashi and the Hokage shared a look of terror as they thought of this, what would Naruto Uzumaki grow into?

An hour later, Hyūga Estate Dojo

Naruto and Hinata were sparring in the dojo while they waited for Hanabi to return home from the academy, Naruto's natural skills allowed him to overcome everyone of Hinata's attacks, Once a week earlier Neji had sparred with Naruto and lost when Naruto managed to put Hyōrinmaru at his throat and in his left hand held a kunai to his chest, Neji hadn't even seen Naruto move... neither had the elders and Hiashi watching from the sidelines, They realized that constant sparring with the two daughters of Hiashi had lead to Naruto learning all the faults of the Byakugan and Gentle Fist Style Taijutsu to the point where he could use it in battle against a skilled user of both and win without anyone seeing what he did.

After that Naruto gained the trust of the Hyūga as he obviously wasn't going to tell any other clans and he was using this knowledge to improve his skills in order to train his charges. Hinata's attacks were getting more powerful as Naruto trained with her, He thought about giving her more power but was worried about what might happen, He'd discovered what happened when an Uzumaki transferred their blood into another and the result could be fatal, because of this the hospital staff was told to handle his blood with care as a drop getting into their bloodstreams could be deadly, He'd also found out to his dismay that he and Hinata were the same blood type (*) type A, As was Hanabi. Luckily Kiba was a type B so he wouldn't have to give blood to him.

The Next Morning, Western Gate.

Since the three Genins of Team Kakashi knew he wasn't going to show up on time they brought their supplies and a deck of cards, and while Naruto and Kiba played go fish, Hinata was reading a scroll Naruto had given her with a half-a-dozen Ice Style Jutsu on it and how to use them, she had several other scrolls and Naruto had left instructions and a schedule with Hiashi Hyūga on how to proceed with Hanabi's stamina and Endurance training, As well as a scroll with all the D and C-class Ice Style Jutsus on it for Hanabi to learn from at whatever pace she chose (Usually break-neck speed). Hiashi had been quite pleased to see such organization and was quite ready to enforce the schedule should Hanabi attempt to skip out, something she had never attempted for some reason, probably Naruto's threat to freeze her solid with Hyōrinmaru and leave her there.

Kakashi showed up half an hour late, with the simple excuse of a Jounin meeting he had to attend, they knew in this case it was true usually his excuses sucked more if he was lying. As the set out Naruto had to remain calm, even though he wanted to jump for joy at the thought of leaving the village for the first time in his life. Hinata and Kiba had similar feelings although Kiba had left the village before to travel with his mother to the nearby villages to pick up or drop off purebred dogs from their kennels.

As they were walking along the path they saw a puddle and Naruto, Hinata and Kakashi were immediately suspicious of it, For the same reason, they hadn't had rain for days, Hinata and Naruto knew this through their Water affinities while Kakashi knew through experience fighting Hidden Mist Ninjas. Hinata didn't activate her Byakugan in order to prevent scaring the Ninja into hiding. Kiba caught the other three's tense nature and took the lead with Tazuna walking next to him, As the puddle got further behind the group the two renegade mist ninja hiding in the puddle jumped out and attacked Kakashi, killing him by wrapping chains attached to gauntlets on their right forearms around him and pulling on the chain, tearing him to bits. Naruto and Hinata got into a defensive posture and attempted to deflect the attack, Hinata was badly injured by the attack before Naruto used Ice Style: Striking Ice Dragon Blizzard to freeze to two ninja so they were immobilized. after doing that he rushed to Hinata's side and notice how badly injured she was.

"She's losing a lot of blood, What's her blood type?"

"A, same as mine" Naruto replied.

"Damn, I'm O neg." Kakashi murmured before saying "Naruto, we need to transfer some blood to her from you"

Naruto went wide eyed even though he had the equipment for such a thing to actually do it would be... "Kakashi-sensei, that could kill her!"

Kakashi sighed because he knew what Naruto was talking about and then he said "It's either we take a chance of her dying, or she actually dies, at least this would give her a chance."

Naruto nodded and then got the equipment out and started taking blood from his left arm, watching it pool into the medical bag he carried for emergencies.

Kiba looked confused "Kakashi-sensei what was he talking about?"

Kakashi sighed "When a member of the Uzumaki clan transfers their blood to another it can kill the recipient as they receive the clans Kekkei Genkei of longevity, Extreme Chakra amounts and the Soul Sword that Naruto has on his back, All that shock on a system can be deadly."

"Oh" Kiba said with horror in his eyes.

"It's even worse due to the Kyūbi chakra in his blood" Kakashi whispered to Kiba while Tazuna stood of to the left.

Naruto started transferring his blood to Hinata, She started to glow with Chakra energy and before long the glow was too bright to look at, suddenly it cut off and she lay there exhausted and unconscious, but alive, full healed and with a katana at her side.

Kiba noticed the katana and asked "Where'd that sword come from?"

Naruto looked at it and said "It's Hinata's soul sword, the reason hers has appeared now is because the Kekkei Genkei in me was awake when its energy went into her body, unfortunately, that isn't the only problem!" Kakashi and Kiba looked confused before Naruto lifted Hinata's shirt showing her abdomen, which now had a four elements seal on it.

Kakashi looked horrified and said "Is that"

Naruto nodded "Yes, Some of his energy was transferred and due to that we know share the responsibilities of being Jinchūriki for the Kyūbi."

Kakashi and Kiba looked stumped at this and Naruto continued by saying "Hey, Old Man Why were these ninja after you, the first thing they did after attacking Kakashi was rush towards you"

Tazuna spilled the beans on how he was under attack from the ruthless business tycoon Gato and couldn't afford a higher class mission. After he said all this Naruto proposed sending back a message asking for backup.

Kakashi just asked "How Much"

Naruto looked thoughtful and said "Teams Gai, Kurenai and Asuma"

Kakashi nodded "That makes sense" He then summoned his Ninja Dog Pakkun and sent him with the message back to Konoha, While Team Kakashi headed for the Wave Country, Hinata had awoken just after Pakkun had left and as filled in as they walked towards the Wave country.

I hope you enjoyed that, I really did a story twist there now what Zanpakutō should I give Hinata and should I do the same thing to Hanabi, Hmm Decisions, Decisions, so many options, review please and tell me what you want to see and I'll endeavour to add it to the story (Excepting Yoai, don't bother asking) I hope you enjoy this chapter, By the way for those who were wonder the first part of the chapters name come from the saying 'The Journey of a thousand miles, Begins with the first step' the names my little joke at how Naruto's story truly kicks off with the Wave Country Mission.
