(Previously on "Demon's Last Decision." Shaken by Hinata's words, Naruto stops and realizes her admiration for him. Without hesitation, he takes her back to Tsunade's office. The woman heals the girl and learns of the nights events. After Shizune's appearance, Tsunade tells Naruto to go to his apartment. He does so, but only long enough for him to change his clothes. He then goes to the window of Hinata's room. Back in the tower, Tsunade attends a meeting about what is to be done about Naruto. When things begin looking bad, Shibi convinces the council to first watch Naruto. A while later, Naruto hears Hinata's father talk her down. He leaves his perch and heads off into the forest where he goes over the Kitsune laws in his head. When he wakes, he scares an ANBU and heads off in search of Tsunade. With little difficulty, he finds her in the hospital. Kurenai appears at this time after she had a talk with her student. In her rage, she attacks Naruto verbally and physically. Naruto manages to talk his way through. With prompting, he enters Hinata's room. Moments later, he gives her one hell of and apology."

This chapter was posted October 28, 2008; 23 days after the previous post. Wow, that is a lot of time between chapters. Sorry about that people.

I decided to change something in the previous chapter. All you need to know is that Naruto switched out of his blood covered clothes and into a clean jumpsuit.

"Defying Decision"

Hinata was trembling in surprise and Tsunade went slack jawed. Even with her experience as a shinobi, it took her a while to gain enough control to do anything. "NANI?"

The carrot-top looked at the woman with annoyance. "I believe that I was very clear with my words." In the corner of his vision, Naruto noticed that Hinata was swaying from side to side. Her clouded over eyes made her look like she was barely there. "Hinata-dono, are you okay." Dono his even higher than sama. Hearing this honorific, Hinata did what she would always does in extreme Naruto-based situations; she fainted.

Tsunade's eyes widened further. "He is completely serious about this." Tsunade then laughed internally for a few seconds. "Arigato Naruto; you just saved me a good deal of paperwork."

"Why is that Tsunade?"

"I am starting to like this new Naruto. He hasn't called me Obaa-chan once. By the order of the council, I had to send ANBU to watch you for any signs of being a threat to the village. With this turn of events, there is no way you are a threat. Now I don't have to deal with daily reports on what you are doing."

Naruto smiled. "Good, that guy was starting to get annoying."

Tsunade's eyes widened. "How did you know you were being followed?" Naruto merely pointed at his ears. "This Naruto is still annoying. Alright then, let's leave Hinata alone for now." Naruto walked to the wall opposite of Hinata's bed and sat down. Tsunade hissed her words since she couldn't yell. "What do you think you're doing?"

Naruto gave her a lazy look. "I am staying here to await my first command. I do not take orders from you." His lazy look became a glare.

Tsunade growled at this. "He still doesn't call me Obaa-chan." She constantly repeated that thought to calm down. "Fine then, just don't cause too much trouble."

"If there is trouble, it will be someone else's fault."

Tsunade snorted as she walked out of the room. Once she was out, she snapped her fingers. This signaled an ANBU to appear. "I want you to tell everyone in the council that we are going to have another meeting concerning Naruto." The Black Ops shinobi nodded before disappearing in a streak of speed. The woman walked leisurely back to the Hokage's tower. It took many minutes for her to get to the council room. As she expected, the elders were already there waiting for her.

Over thirty minutes passed before most of the clan heads appeared. The same ANBU Tsunade sent after them appeared at her side. "Hyuga-sama stated that he is preoccupied with clan matters and will therefore be unable to attend."

"What a shame, considering that this meeting concerns him the most. No matter, we have enough people here." The woman waved the ANBU off and took her seat. "As you should know, this meeting is about Naruto."

Danzo stood up and held his one hand out. "What is it Tsunade, has the demon already proven himself a threat?"

The woman smirked at him. "On the contrary; I believe that, with recent events, Tora the cat is a bigger threat to the village than Naruto."

Everyone stared at her wide-eyed except for Shibi, who arched his eyebrows. "Tsunade-sama, what is your reasoning?"

Tsunade stood up. "A short time ago, I took Naruto to visit Hinata in the hospital. While we were in her room, he did something I never expected him to. After explaining that any Kitsune demon that breaks a blood oath loses their life, he promised that he would be Hinata's personal servant for life."

Danzo chose this time to compose himself. "How can we be sure that he is not lying? This could very well be a trick of the demon."

"I disagree Danzo-san. My research supports Tsunade-sama's statements. In all I read, not once has a Kitsune demon broken a promise. I too believe that Tora is a greater threat. Anyone who knows Hinata-san shall think the same."

Everyone turned towards Tsume, who was laughing loudly. "I have to agree with Shibi on this one. Hinata-chan is one of the sweetest and kindest girls I have ever met. With a leash like that, Naruto isn't hurting anyone anytime soon."

Danzo growled. "This still doesn't ensure that our village is safe from that demon. He could very easily convince her to turn against the village. He is still a threat."

"This is getting troublesome." Everyone turned towards Shikaku. "Hinata could give Naruto commands that prevent such things from happening."

Danzo smirked at the proposition. "Nara-san, your proposition has possibilities. If Naruto is indeed force to do everything Hinata tells him to, then we can use this to bring Naruto under our direct control. Perhaps I can write up the list."

Both of the other elders smiled at this, but it was Koharu who stood. "This is a good idea. With your wisdom, we can make sure that the demon is kept under our control. It will be a great asset to our weakened village."

Tsunade pounded her desk loud enough for all to hear. "How can we be sure that you don't use this chance to concentrate Naruto's power into your own hands?"

"Do not worry Tsunade. If you want, you can deliver the list to the young Hyuga yourself. I shall ensure that the demon's power will work for the village, not an individual."

"Fine, I guess that will do. All in favor of Danzo writing this list." Everyone was standing. "It's unanimous, get to writing you old geezer."

The elder clenched his teeth. "Make jokes while you can Senju." Danzo stood up and left silently, heading strait home. Because what he was doing was known by the entire council, he saw no point in doing it in his root headquarters. "First we have to make sure that no one else can use the demon against us. Next, let's make sure that he can never become a threat. Allowing the demon to defend himself and others to an extent should keep Tsunade happy. And finally, the coup d'état." Danzo chuckled to himself. "Konoha will soon be mine."

Back with Naruto and the unconscious Hinata.

Naruto's fox ears twitched at the sound of foot steps approaching the room. The instant the door opened, you could cut the tension with a dull knife. Naruto Uzumaki and Shino Aburame locked eyes to sunglasses. They remained unmoving for countless seconds, excluding Naruto's tails. Shino turned to Hinata and walked to her. "Why are you here?"

Hearing the toneless question, Naruto spoke with a similar voice. "Apologizing."

Shino just nodded silently and continued to look at Hinata. He soon noticed that the sheets were a bit disheveled. "Was she awake recently?"

"Hai, she was awake when I first arrived, but my apology turned out to be a great enough shock to cause her to faint."

Shino turned towards Naruto with raised eyebrows. "Did he return her feelings? Naruto-san, how did you apologize?"

"I …." Naruto was suddenly cut off by the door opening. Although he hid it well, Shino was annoyed at the interruption.

Both turned towards it to see Tsunade walking in. She was holding a single sheet of paper in her hands. "Danzo didn't waist any time getting this to me." She regarded Shino with a confused blink. "I didn't expect him to be here." She walked over to Hinata and then turned to face Naruto. "Naruto, I think it is best that you wait outside for a bit. Hinata needs time to realize her new situation. You being in here will only make it that more difficult for her." Naruto nodded, stood up, and then walked out of the room. "Now, let's wake Hinata up."

She placed a glowing hand on her forehead. "Hokage-sama, do you know how Naruto-san apologized."

"You'll know soon enough Shino."

Hinata's eyelids began to flutter before opening. She suddenly sat up. "Naruto!" She looked around to notice the absence of said hanyou. She did notice the other two staring at her and blushed from her outburst. "Ano, wh-where's N-Naruto-san?"

Shino raised his brow slightly from the change in honorific. Tsunade looked at Hinata seriously. "I asked Naruto to wait outside for a few moments. Do you remember what he said to you before you fainted?"

It took only a second of thought for her eyes to slowly widen. "H-h-he pr-promised to d-do all I-I asked f-from th-this day f-forward."

Shino's eyebrows were as high as they could go and Tsunade nodded. "That's right Hinata."

Tsunade handed her the sheet of paper she was holding. "W-what's this?"

"The council is worried that Naruto could still be a threat to the village. By order of the council, you are to read these commands to Naruto. Whether he obeys them or not will determine if he was telling the truth about his promise."

"B-but what if h-he?…"

Tsunade interrupted her. "Hinata, he is yours." Her expression became a bit softer but still serious. "Think of this as a command from your Hokage. By reading these commands to Naruto, you are doing your village a great service."

"H-hai."

Tsunade turned back to the door. "You can come back in Naruto."

The carrot-top opened the door and walked in with a stoic expression on his face. Unknown to the others, he was actually having great difficulty maintaining that expression. "So the council is trying to bring me under their control. This is not good. If commands conflict, I could die."

Hinata's trembling hands brought the sheet of paper to her eyes. "Y-You are to ignore a-all commands I g-give against my w-will. You are n-never to attempt c-convincing me t-to turn against K-Konoha."

Naruto nodded. "Those commands are acceptable."

"Y-you are not t-to harm or assault another in any way unless t-told otherwise. I-if attacked, y-you can d-defend yourself o-or come t-to the de-defense of a-another. H-how you defend d-depends on t-the attacker. For c-civilians, escape to r-restraint. For K-Konoha shinobi, e-escape to m-mild injury. For tr-traitors, e-enemies, and threats t-to the well b-being to K-Konoha and its shi-shinobi, moderate in-injury to d-d-death."

"So far so good."

Hinata's eyes quivered with uncertainty with the last of the orders she must read. "Y-you a-are to o-obey all or-orders g-g-given to y-you by c-council e-elders, th-the H-Hokage, a-and all c-clan h-heads."

It took all of Naruto's will power to maintain a stoic expression. "Hai Hinata-dono, your commands shall be followed."

Tsunade clapped her hands together. "Well, now that's over with, let's put it to a test." Naruto scowled at her. "Stop scowling." He did as he was told. "Now, stand on your head." Naruto turned around and leaned forward to perform a handstand. He then lowered himself until only his head supported his weight. "Good, now I want you to … never mind. I will save that for later." She turned around to face Hinata. "Hinata, as long as you take it easy, you are free to go."

"Hai." The woman walked out the door.

Shino walked over to the upside-down Naruto and knelt down low enough to whisper to him. "Naruto-san, if this is a trick, please cease. You have done far too much harm as is."

"Don't worry Shino, this is for real. I am from this day forward, Hinata-dono's servant."

Shino nodded. "I will be watching you." He stood up and walked out of the room.

Alone in the room with the hanyou, Hinata started fidgeting furiously. "Stop it Hinata. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him. He is not dangerous." She took a few breaths to calm herself then slipped out of bed. She then walked to the door and prepared to open it.

"Hinata-dono, this is very uncomfortable for my ears."

She gasped. "Oh, y-you can s-stand now." Naruto quickly did so. She walked out the door and Naruto followed. Hinata felt uncomfortable feeling such a powerful being follow her wherever she went. "I guess that I am going to have to get used to this." Something suddenly clicked in her head. She turned back to face the carrot-top. "N-Naruto-san, y-you m-may s-scare someone l-like th-that."

"Don't worry Hinata-dono. I cast a special Kitsune jutsu that makes me look like I once did. You do not see the effects of this jutsu because it would be disrespectful to hide my true form from my master."

Hinata quickly turned away to hide her blush; she the shook her head to get rid of it. "Get a hold of yourself Hinata. This is your situation now. It is best that you just get used to it. Naruto-kun, the boy you loved is gone. All that is left is Naruto-san, your servant. Oh, k-keep it u-u-up." Hinata felt great sadness at her thoughts. They were able to walk out of the hospital with people no more than glaring at Naruto.

Once they were outside, Naruto started walking beside her. Naruto could still the whispers of the people around him. "What is that demon doing hiding his true form." "It looks like the demon got himself a little whore; traitorous bitch." "What is a nice looking lady like her doing with him?"

Hinata meanwhile was taking occasional glances at Naruto. Naruto of course noticed this. "Hinata-dono, if there is something you wish to ask of me, feel free to do so."

She flinched from those words. "Ano, it's y-your cl-clothes."

Naruto started looking at his clothing, which was still his orange jumpsuit. "I see nothing wrong with them."

"I-it's j-just t-that they d-d-don't look g-good on you a-anymore."

"They don't look good on me anymore. Well I guess my appearance has changed a lot. If you want me to wear something different, you only have to ask."

"H-hai, f-f-follow me." She continued walking as Naruto let himself fall behind a bit. Hinata sighed. "This is going to take a lot of getting used to."

Back with Danzo and his scheming self.

Danzo walked into his Root compound with a small smile on his face. "That was perfect if I do say so myself. The first, second, and parts of the third commands are there just to make sure that Tsunade doesn't get suspicious. It is the first part of the third and the fourth that are the genius of it. The third says that Naruto can't harm or assault another unless told otherwise. The forth says that he must obey the shinobi council. With this simple design, I can order Naruto to kill off all of the shinobi council in their sleep. I can then disband the clans so there can be no more clan heads. I might as well get rid of that Hinata girl along the way. This way, I will be the only one left who can command the demon's power. I can also decide whose commands Naruto should follow as well in the case of my eventual death. With the Kyūbi's power, all of the great nations will belong to me." He stood at a balcony over looking all of his Root agents. "Tomorrow, we take Konoha as our own." There was no reaction. "What good emotionless soldiers."

Back with Naruto and Hinata. That was just there to tell you Danzo's plan. The following scene is just to lighten the mood a bit. I don't think it is very well written.

Hinata walked into a simple looking clothing shop. The other customers were looking at the events too far away to hear anything. Behind the counter was a red-headed girl in her late teens. She wore a loose light purple tube top and a pair of blue jeans. "Hello Hinata-chan, nice to see you again." She then took notice of the other visitor and stepped back in surprise. "W-what is he doing here."

Hinata went into a stuttering frenzy as she was unable to conjure up the proper words to explain the situation. Naruto decided to explain. "I have promised that I would do all that Hinata-dono asks of me. I am not threat to you or anyone else of this village."

The young woman's jaw dropped. She shook her head and turned her stupefied face towards Hinata. "Hinata-chan, is that true." Not trusting her voice, Hinata nodded. The teen then turned towards Naruto with scrutiny in her eyes. "From the information I received, you are supposed to look like a demon, but you still look like a human."

"I mask my true form so I don't scare the villagers. I am able to choose who sees what I truly look like."

"I guess that makes sense." She turned towards the young Hyuga. "So what brings you here Hinata-chan?"

"Ano, N-N-Naruto-san needs s-some new clothes."

The teen looked at Naruto. "I'll say. That is the worst looking outfit I have seen in my life. Wait a second; I still don't know what he really looks like. If I am going to help you find some clothes, I am going to have to see what you really look like."

"Y-you pr-promise to stay c-calm."

"Hai, I will."

Hinata nodded. "S-show her N-Naruto-san."

The red-headed teen saw the blond form in front of her shift into a nine-tailed version with orange hair and reddish ears. She took a small step back in surprise. Naruto smirked at her. "What's wrong, you scared."

"H-hai I am. I thought that jumpsuit was ugly before. Now I can see why Hinata-chan wanted to get you here as soon as possible. That thing is horrendous. As for your demonic looks, I was expecting worse."

Naruto's eyes twitched in annoyance. "I see nothing wrong with my choice of clothing. I am only getting new clothes because Hinata-dono asked me to do so."

"Whatever; just follow me." She walked over to one of the dressing room. She then leaned over and whispered into Hinata's ears.

"N-N-Naruto-san, t-try on all th-the clothes w-we g-give you a-and show t-them to us."

"Hai Hinata-dono." Naruto walked into the room and shut the door. It was one of the larger dressing rooms, giving Naruto plenty or room for his tails to move around. The first thing he received was a brown t-shirt and khaki cargos. He also received a thin dark brown coat that came down to his waist. The teen nodded at the outfit and signaled for him to reenter. He continued to receive a bunch of random outfits. Most received shakes of the head.

At this time, half of the customers left the establishment due to the demon's presence. The other half was curious on how two girls were able to make him wear whatever they gave him.

The red headed teen suddenly stopped looking for outfits as an evil idea came into her head. She quickly ran back to the counter and grabbed something of hers. She then went to a different section of the store for a different outfit for Naruto to try on. She skipped over to Hinata and showed it to Hinata. "N-n-nani?" A blush covered her face. This is a warning to men. Do not try to imagine what the next outfit looks like on Naruto. As for the women, feel free.

"Oh come on Hinata-chan, you can't say that you're not curious. No man would ever wear this. It is a great way to check if he really has to do what you say." She looked like she was thinking about it, but the blush was not fading. She then nodded in acceptance.

The older teen skipped over to the dressing room door and slipped the outfit in. She held three fingers up and brought each down at one second intervals. "NANI!" She smiled at the sudden voice and the remaining customers became curious about what Naruto would come out wearing next.

"Oh come on Naruto, certainly you remember what Hinata told you to do. Make sure you stay out long enough to give us a good look." The doorknob turned. "He is actually going to do it." Out came Naruto wearing a two piece pink bikini. Hinata blushed and fainted from the ripped muscles and detailed view. Since all the customers were women, they could not contain their mirth. One mother had to cover her daughter's eyes.

The teen quickly whipped out a camera and took a picture. Naruto glared at her with all he could. "Give me that camera."

"No, I don't think I will." All the women, who move close enough to hear, started to fear for the teen's life.

Naruto growled and spoke with complete rage. "You are so lucky that I can't do anything to you or that camera would be dust right now and you would be dead."

The teen was undaunted. "That is too bad."

Naruto walked back into the dressing room and growled when he heard a chorus of feminine laughter. He quickly took off the outfit and switched back to his original one.

After Hinata woke up, they continued to give clothes to Naruto until the red headed teen decided that black and dark brown are the best colors for Naruto. In the end, he walked out wearing the same dark brown coat, darker brown cargos, and a black shirt. Using his Kitsune powers, Naruto added his on special touch to the outfit. The face of the original Kyūbi no Yōkō was placed on the front of the shirt. A swirl made of the nine tails was on the back of the coat. The cargo pants themselves were loose enough for Naruto's tails to be comfortable.

Naruto looked at her seriously. "Where to now Hinata-dono?"

"I-I th-think it's t-time for m-me to g-go home." Naruto's became slightly narrower at those words. The pair eventually arrived at the compound. "I-I think th-that it is b-best for you t-to st-stay outside f-for now."

Naruto smiled and bowed slightly. "Hai Hinata-dono."

Hinata walked into the compound. She was instantly confronted by two of the older branch members. "Hinata-san, by order of Hiashi-sama, you are to follow us."

Hinata's eyes widened at the lack of the sama honorific applied to her own name. "I don't like where this is going, but if I don't go, Otou-sama will be angry." She followed the branch members through the compound. It worried her further that she was not being led to where she usually meets her father. When she finally saw her father waiting for her with a dead serious expression, it was the building behind him that caught her attention. She took a step back in fear. "No, not there; that is were branch members are sealed."

Hiashi took quick notice of her step back. "Restrain her." The two men quickly turned around and grabbed both of her arms. Hinata stopped supporting her own weight. This did nothing to slow the closing distance between her and the building. "Hinata, you have been a thorn in my side for far too long. It is time that you go where you belong. You will be sealed today."

Hinata's body trembled as tears fell down her face and her feet dragged against the ground. "No, not like this; after all my hard work, it can't just end like this." She suddenly stopped moving forward. Also, she felt herself supported not by her arms, but by something wrapped completely around her waist. She opened her eyes to see the orange headed Naruto with two tails wrapped around each branch member so the arms and legs were completely restrained. Another tail was the object wrapped around her waist. "H-h-how?"

"When you told me that you 'think it is best that I wait outside for now,' there were two ways around it. One, it sounded more like a suggestion than a request. Two, the word now could mean any span of time, even a second."

"He's right. By looking at what I say differently, he can avoid doing something he doesn't want to."

Hiashi already turned around and was looking at the scene with anger in his eyes. "What is he doing here?" He charged forward with a Jūken strike prepared. Naruto saw this coming and grabbed his wrist. Before the other hand could hit, the hanyou grabbed that wrist. For good measure, Naruto used a tail to raise Hiashi's left leg. "How dare you do this to the Hyuga clan head? I order you to release me and my men this instant demon."

Naruto's eyes closed and Hinata's eyes widened. Both were remembering the list Hinata read from. "You are to obey all orders given to you by council elders, the Hokage, and all clan heads." Tiny tear drops appeared on the corners of Hinata's eyes. "There is no way around that."

Hiashi and the branch members could feel the grip of the tails loosen around their bodies. When Naruto's eyes opened, they all winced in pain as they felt the tails tighter than before. "I do not and never will take orders from you."

I call that a cliffhanger. Not all of them have to have negative implications. They just have to make people go WTF or uh oh. I believe that it is the former for this chapter.

So far, all the ideas that I have received from others conflicted with the planed storyline. Naruto and Hinata will stay in the Hyuga compound. That means they aren't leaving the village. Hinata will be sixteen before her feelings begin to return in full. I need events that can happen between the next few days, all the way to the middle of their fifteens.
