This time I put in two scenes in one chapter. Hope I do good.

Chapter 12: Real Hinata/Back in Konoha 2

He went through.

He went right through like that time he tried to punch that other guy.

And since he was running 500 miles per hour, he ran smack on to the body, causing both of them to hit the ground, with Naruto on top.

Naruto's hand was still in a fist, and as he opened his eyes, he saw he was laying on top of a body with no head.

"Aaah!" he cried. He frantically scrambled up.

As his other three teammates looked down at the body, Naruto took in his surroundings: a strange stone room with torches lined up on its walls. He saw a big hole on top that had the sunlight shining through. And of course, he couldn't miss the big throne sitting in the middle of the room all high and mighty. He was about to study the man sitting on it with his mouth widely open when he heard a familiar voice squeaking behind him.

"Naruto?" Hinata said it softly, but the ninja heard it.

To him, it's the sound he'd been wanting to hear. He turned around quickly, and there on the floor was Hinata Hyuga. Emotions flooded in his mind: happiness, excitment, joy, nervousness, and...love.

Hinata was even more happy. Here he was, her knight in shining armor! She couldn't hold back the tears anymore. They went pouring out. She remembered everything that happened for the past three days: the abducting, the fall, the tree, the meeting, the laughter, the clothes, the confusion, the finding out, and finally the betrayal. It was too many things for Hinata to hold on to. So she let it all out.

Naruto immediately jumped over to her side (he had to jump over the body). Meanwhile the guys were also huddling around the Hyuga girl. Ryu was still sitting on his throne with his mouth open, but when he saw them fled to the girl he called in Kiro and Jug.

"Hinata! I'm so glad you're safe!" Naruto cried out. Neji and Kiba voiced their comments also. As for Hinata, she was to happy to speak.

"Wait," Shino suddenly said. "How do we know that's the real Hinata?" His three partners looked at him questionally, and even Hinata. "Think about it, how do we know it isn't just another fake? The last one was a fake. Plus, it was too easy to find her."

The boys thought this over, Naruto sneaking glances back at Hinata. How could she be an impostor? Her face was practically covered with salty tears.

Kiba sniffed at her. "She...smells like Hinata. But there's also weird scents in there also: gasoline and some weird flowers."

"The only way we know it's truly Hinata without hurting her," Neji said, taking charge, "is to ask her to say something only the true Hinata can say." This seemed like a good idea.

All four boys looked at the girl on the floor. They were all waiting for her answer.

Hinata of course heard this. While her cousin said this, she was already thinking of something to say.

Then she thought of one. She looked at the blonde ninja who was the closet to her. "Naruto, I..."


I had to have something to keep your minds off what Hinata is about to say!
Guess what it is!
Disclaimer 2: I don't own Naruto


Back in Konoha 2

Even though it's only been three days, Tsunade was getting worried.

She looked out the big window that stood behind her, and sighed.

With Naruto, Neji, Kiba, and Shino all on the same team, they should be unstoppable!

They should have gotten home by...yesterday.

What's taking them so long? Tsunade loved her peace, very much, but something needs to be done.

"Shizune!" she called to which the medical ninja immediately appeared, with her faithful Tonton in her arms (I just love that little guy!).

"Yes, M'lady?" she answered.

"Call for the back up team."

"Already? You just finished informing Hanabi a couple of hours ago!"

"Yes I know, but I'm...worried about Hiashi. He might be missing his daughter greatly. I know I would."

Shizune looked at her teacher, confused. She soon figured it out while she was walking out the office door.

Worried about Hiashi, hmph! She misses Naruto!

---

"Now that you mention it, you did not sound like yourself," the guard replied.

Hiashi had been interrogating the same guard who talked to him earlier (wow, was it only early that day?) to find out about the impostor (Hiashi was sure it was some kind of transformation). He didn't get any progress, until he said this.

"And how did I sound?"

"How would you put it...I guess you kind of sounded like a robot." The guard at once regretted what he said. He had just insulted Lord Hiashi.

However, this is just what the Head wanted. "Keep going," he said, oblivious to the watch's fear.

"Um, you said everything like they were syllables, or something."

"Tell me, how did this conversation go again?"

The guard sighed. For the third time he'd have to replay the talk.

"After you left, you came back again. You told us that there's too many guards and that we can have the day off."
"Since the other guards and I were really tired, we decided not to argue."

The guard paused. This is where Lord Hiashi usually starts talking again, saying that they shouldn't have done that.

He didn't speak.

Hesitantly, he started again. "We all left; meanwhile you were still standing on the same spot."

"What did I look like when I was standing there?" asked Hiashi.

The watchman still thought this whole thing was weird. Why did Lord Hiashi have to ask him questions about himself?

"Tell me something that was strange of me," the head added. "Like if I still had on my backpack."

This time the guard's eyes lit up. "You didn't! You didn't have a backpack!"

This was it. The clue Hiashi had been waiting for. "Thank you for this talk; you may continue with your duty."


Real Hinata continued...

"Naruto, I--"

She was interrupted when Jug and Kiro jumped inside the room from the hole above. Even though they entered quietly, Akamaru still smelled them.

"Bark!"

Kiba turned around, and so did the others. "Hey! It's that fat guy and skinny guy that we saw on that wind!"

"Fat?"

"Skinny?"

Now they were angry. Master called them to fight some intruders for him, but now it was personal.

They were both about to perform some jutsus when Ryu stopped them. "Jug, Kiro, you know you can't fight in here! My collection is in here!"

Even though that was an order that they could've ignored, they obeyed. They knew that if the collection was ruined, so will be their lives, if they'll still have lives!

"Come," said Kiro, "let's take this outside." He pointed towards Shino. "I pick you as my opponent!"

Shino raised an eyebrow. Pick?

Jug pointed to Kiba. "You called me fat! You're mine!"

Kiba didn't argue. "Let's go!" he said with a grin. "Akamaru!" His always faithful dog barked and trotted to his side.

Kiro and Jug jumped back up through the hole, and Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru followed. Now it was just Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Ryu, and fake Ryu.

Where's Gloo? Neji asked himself. He looked around, but he couldn't find him anywhere. His search was interrupted when Naruto tapped his shoulder.

"How do we free Hinata?" Naruto asked, showing him the sticky goo.

"We still don't know if she's the real one," he answered, still trying to look for Gloo.

Hinata activated her Byakugan. "If I'm a fake, I can't do this."

Neji saw. So it was her. He smiled. He lifted his hand that was soon covered in thin chakra. When he put his hand near the goo, Master shouted behind them.

"YOU ARE NOT TO TOUCH HER!! Do you know how long I've tried to search for her?! Get away!" he stood up, but that was all.

Naruto didn't like the way this guy was talking. He stood up also. "Look pal, I don't know how you know Hinata, but I'm not letting you take her away!" His eyes were turning red, but not as much. It was just enough for him to feel a little of the fox's chakra flowing in him. Faster than lightning, he appeared in front of Ryu. "You and I will settle this. Which one of us will get Hinata?"


Please Review!

The continuation: really rushed.
I had to go somewhere, so I didn't really put in all my thoughts.
I didn't even check for grammar/puncuation/spelling errors.
I think I'm getting worse! I need to find a time where I can actually take my time!
Oh well...sigh.
