To Hadious: I read your story but couldn't review (anonymous reviews disabled). So I'll review here. It'll be at the bottom.

WOOHOO! It's the 10th -- oh no! I shouldn't mention anything! Let's move on to the disclaimer, QUICKLY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Chapter 10: The Back Wall

Kiba shook Naruto gently and told him to wake up. When he didn't see Naruto even stir, he shook more vigorously. He still didn't wake up. Finally, Kiba gave up on the "wake him up nicely" manner and just slapped Naruto across the face. With this, Naruto jolted upright.

"Hinata!" was his first cry. When he saw everything around him green, he kind of panicked, until he remembered that he fell from the sky. Why? Oh yeah, he was trying to punch that guy who was carrying Hinata. Seeing Hinata in another man's arms angered Naruto, even if he was a lot older than both of them, maybe even combined.

He looked at his surroundings once more, and finally spotted Kiba and Akamaru, Kiba having a quizzical look. "What happened back there?" he asked as he helped his temporary teammate get up. "You went right through him, and you even made his head explode!" Kiba was trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't work on Naruto for some reason.

Naruto got the joke, but he didn't feel like laughing. It actually made him sadder, and angrier. He so badly wanted to feel hard bone on his knuckles. If those jerks wanted to kidnap Hinata, they'd have to go through serious pain first! But instead, he felt soft gushy stuff. Instead, he was punching a fake. He wanted to scream.

"We need to catch up with the others," Kiba interrupted Naruto's thoughts.

"Uh, yeah," Naruto replied, and they both ran back to their other two teammates.

---

"The mountain is real; it's real, but fake," Neji said. "Get it?"

Naruto scratched his head. The Hyuga sighed. "You can touch it, so it's real. But it's not a mountain," he explained.

"Why isn't it a mountain?" Kiba cut in.

"When I activated my Byakugan, I tried to look through the mountain. What I saw, though, disturbed me even more. I couldn't see through the mountain, but I saw chakra flowing through it. It's similar to Jirobo's jutsu. Remember that time we were inside that rock?"

"Yeah!" both Kiba and Naruto answered.

"I don't, because I was never in the team," Shino looked like he wasn't paying attention, but actually he was listening to every word.

His teammates ignored him. Neji continued to explain: "That mountain also has chakra flowing through it, but it doesn't seem as if someone is controling it. It seems that it can control itself; like it's alive or something."

Neji, Naruto, and Kiba thought for a moment.

"So it's like Gloo," Shino suddenly said. The three looked at him. Of course!

Neji looked at his new pet. He's started to get close to him. Gloo was inside the cave. He knew everything here, except those black sticks and that back wall there, were made from the same substance he is. He was looking at that back wall. His master notices his staring and walked up to him. "What is it, Gloo?" He said it! His master actually said his name! His new name! It felt so good! He wanted to jump up and down at this, but he thought his new master would get angry at him for this. The last time he jumped for joy his old master threatened to throw him into lava. So he contained himself and glided over to the back wall.

Neji followed Gloo, along with Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru, and Shino. Gloo sniffed the wall like a dog, which confused Akamru. Only his species can catch scents, right?

Suddenly, the creature remembered passing through here. He remembered, and there was no big cave surrounding it. He tried to remember what his old master did. Thinking, thinking, got it!

Gloo formed a hand on the side of his snail-like body. He tapped the ground three times. At first, his friends didn't get any of this. But then the boy that was the dog's owner widened his eyes.

"I think he says to stomp in the ground three times!" he cried. All four boys started stomping three times, not in unison. Nothing happened. After a few confusing talks, Kiba suggested that only one person do it. He nominated himself. He stomped on the ground three times. Nothing.

Gloo waved his gooey hand. They looked down at him. He formed his hand into a fist, and knocked the wall three times. The door didn't opened because it only responds to solid contacts. He was too soft for the door to notice.

Now Neji understood. "Someone has to knock the wall three times." Gloo jumped up and down, forgetting about his past; he had a feeling his new master wouldn't mind him doing this.

"Okay, Neji, knock the door," said Kiba, who was disappointed that he wasn't able to interpret what Gloo was doing. He always thought of himself as those types who understands nature, but is Gloo even nature? If he was, nothing in nature will ever make sense to him again.

"Actually," Neji started, "I think Naruto should do it." He stepped to the side to let Naruto get closer to the door.

"R-Really?!" Naruto was surprised. Why did Neji do this? Oh well, it was his chance again to save Hinata. This time, he'll make no mistake!

She moaned softly and stirred. However, she was stuck. Stuck to what? A cold, hard, stone floor. She couldn't get up. The thing that was around her was stuck to the floor. Great, just great.

Her left cheek hurt, badly. If she looked in a mirror, she's sure to see it swollen. She thought she could even feel a few loose teeth. That guy, Jug, really is strong.

The good thing is that her bad cheek was on the cool floor, which both hurt and felt good. She tried to at least turn around. Nope.

Everything around Hinata was dark, although she could see a dim light. It was a torch lit with fire attached to a wall on the left side of her. It was a long way across, though. Then, a second torch lit up on the other side. When that lit up, the rest of the torches were alit with fire, like magic. Now she can see better, and take in her surroundings a little better.

It was a stone room. It was rectangular, too. She was lying on one side of the room, on the side where she could see all the way across to the other side. Well, there was a stone throne blocking the other side, but she can see that there's something dark behind that throne. Wait, a throne?

There was a large chair carved out of fine rock. It had no legs, but it was tall. It was also simple. The back of the throne was just a big slab. The sides where one puts his arms on were great big blocks of stone on top of another block of rock as the chair.

The throne was sitting on top of two stone platforms. The bottom one was the biggest, reaching the left and right sides of the room. The platform where the throne was sitting on was smaller, just reaching halfway from the wall to the throne.

Hinata knew she was far away, but she can already tell that that throne was big. Very big. Maybe that's why she couldn't see the little person sitting on the throne.

There was a little man sitting on the stone chair, but his size was compared to the size of the chair. In reality, he's probably slightly taller than Hinata. He was sitting in a fashion where he's leaning to one side, holding his head with a hand, and tapping his index finger with the other on the other side. The man was, even with all the torches, covered in shadows, so Hinata couldn't get a good look at him.

"Wh-who are you?" she managed to ask. Suddenly, the figure jolted. Even with the shadows, she could tell he was grinning as he clapped his hands together.

"Good, you're awake," he said. He had a very deep voice, but it was a familiar voice. "I'll tell you my real name later, but Jug and Kiro call me Master."

Please Review!

This is also a chapter with some last minute thoughts. I knew I shouldn't have mentioned anything!
And I didn't read this one over, since I was kind of in a hurry for something. So it might have mistakes.

Below is the review for Hadious; if you're not Hadious, you don't have to read it.

Hadious: The first chapter of your story was kind of confusing, since I had no idea what was going on. Then I read the second chapter...which was AMAZING!!! I especially loved the fighting scene! And the wings! ~Sighs in happiness (I love wings)~. Keep up with the good work (two thumbs up)! Actually, I may get some ideas from your fighting scene, since a fight will come up in mine; is that okay? If it's not, I totally understand!
