The upcoming scene is NOT NejiHina, but I will tell you something about them from my opinion.
I love the Byakugan and Hyuga Clan (not their rules), so I love both Hinata and Neji.
I love seeing them work together as Hyuga partners.
If they weren't related, I might support a pairing like that, but I would support NaruHina more.

Chapter 14: Battles

Hinata quickly ran to the sound of the crash. When she got there, she found Neji in a striking pose and a crashed wall across from him.

"Neji, what happened?" she asked as she looked at the wall.

"That Ryu guy: he's alive again," Neji answered.

"But, I thought he was fake!"

"Apparantly, he found another way to revive himself." Inside, Neji was still thinking about what the boy said. It called him master, and he said he was Gloo. That can't be right; he started attacking him. But then again, Gloo is nowhere to be found. For a genius, this was hurting his mind.

Hinata stepped over the fallen rocks from the damage. Suddenly, on instinct she quickly dodged to the right. Her instinct was right as a kunai knife went slicing through the air. However, Neji was somehow distracted, and didn't dodge. With a movement as fast as how Naruto moved earlier, she jumped in front of him.

That hit could have killed Neji instantly, for it was aimed at his heart perfectly. If Hinata hadn't acted as a shield, he would be falling to the ground by now.

Her purple jacket was stained red as blood slipped from the wound. Neji, who had finally snapped from his thoughts after seeing his cousin appear in front of him, watched as he saw blood also dripping from her mouth.

Hinata knew that the knife would hit the heart, so she didn't face it. Instead, she had her back to it and her face facing Neji. She felt a shock of pain as the kunai knife hit her right shoulder blade. Trying not to cry out, all she could do was wince.

Neji, though, was the one who cried out. "Hinata!" He caught her when she fell towards him.

There were footsteps that were soon revealed to be Ryu's, who had a look of horror on his face. Gloo can finally control his head, but not his actions.

"Master, I'm so sorry! That wasn't me!" he said.

Neji wasn't listening. He was still trying to look at Hinata's wound. Nevertheless he wasn't a medical ninja, so he didn't know if it was serious or minor.

A tiny tear formed on the bottom of his eye. He then felt a soft hand on his shoulder.

"Neji it's okay, we'll handle it from here."

The Hyuga looked up to see two beautiful brown eyes. It was Tenten, and behind her were Sakura and Hanabi.

"You fight good," Kiba said, panting. He and Akamaru were facing Jug.

"You aren't bad yourself," replied Jug.

As soon as they left the room, Jug and Kiro, and Kiba and Shino parted. Jug and Kiba went far into the forest on left, while the same thing happened to Shino and Kiro but on the right.

Once they found a nice clearing, they started an intense battle. Both men had equal strenghts, so neither has lost yet.

Kiba formed the tiger hand sign. "Ninja Art: Man Beast Clone!" Akamaru turned into a perfect copy of his owner. They both then crouched down. "Fang Over Fang!" The air spinned around them and they made one big sharp tornado that was forcing its way towards Jug.

"Ninja Art: Giant Black Spike Jutsu!" Jug cried as a huge blob that quickly turned into a giant thorn formed from his outstretched hand. The goo hardened, and it was soon as hard as brick. Both jutsus sped toward each other.

But just before they met, the thorn suddenly turned back to goo and splattered itself on Kiba and Akamaru.

Both boys fell to the ground, Akamaru back in his dog form.

They were stuck to the ground with Jug's strongest goo yet.

Kiro was just getting started.

He was already in the lead against his bug-using opponent. He was weak!

However, he didn't know that Shino was actually making himself appear weak. He had a plan already thought up.

After a few minutes analyzing his foe, he was able to find his weakness. Using this as an advantage, he started saving his strenght and chakra, for when the right moment comes that's when he'll strike.

"Ninja Art: Tornado Vaccum!"

A tornado formed on the ground. It was small at first but it grew larger. It formed on the middle of the battlefield where Shino and Kiro were standing on.

As soon as it was large enough, the tornado started sucking in everything: trees, rocks, ground, and including Shino. The only thing it didn't suck up was its creator.

Shino was plunged into the swirling wind vortex, unable to escape.

The back up squad was here already?

It took Neji's team a day to reach this place! How on earth could they have gotten here so fast?!

Tenten seemed to read Neji's mind. "Lady Tsunade used a transportation jutsu on us." (I saw this episode where a transportation jutsu was used on Katsuya by Tsunade to transport her to Sakura and her team. They only mentioned it, so I don't know how it works.)

Meanwhile, Sakura took Hinata from Neji's arms and examined the wound herself. The blood-stained kunai knife lay on the ground next to Neji.

Hanabi was staring at the teenager that was holding on to the side of the hole in the wall. He had a terrified look on his face. He should be! thought Hanabi. He almost killed my sister!

"The injury is deep, but I should be able to heal it," said Sakura. She carefully set Hinata, who was unconscious, down on her stomach.

With the cold stone on her cheek, Hinata's eyes fluttered open. Her first thought was that she fainted...again! She fainted when she was kidnapped and when she was re-kidnapped! This has got to stop!

She scrambled to get up, and when she did, she felt a pang of pain on her back and fell back down.

"Whoah, careful Hinata! Your wound will open up!" the medical ninja warned.

The wounded was surprised to hear Sakura's voice. "S-Sakura, what are you doing here?" she tried to speak, but it came out silently, a little above a whisper.

Upon hearing her sister's voice, Hanabi ran over to her side. (The past chapters, I've been making Hinata seem as if she always needs help. What do you think?)

"Hinata, are you okay?" she anxiously asked.

Hinata was even more surprised to hear her little sister's voice.

"We're a back-up team," Sakura answered the Hyuga heiress's question that was asked earlier.

Back-up team? So it's a mission? If so, what was Hanabi doing on a mission like this? Hinata was about to ask all these questions, but Sakura shushed her.

"Don't talk; I need to heal your wound." Sakura's hands glowed a light green as she put it on top of her patient's shoulder blade.

The Hyuga girl relaxed a little.

Meanwhile, Neji, Tenten, and Hanabi were all glaring at Ryu. With the confusion and the attention all at the girl, Gloo had used the time to try and control the rest of his body, but no success. When he saw all the mean eyes looking at him, he got scared again.

All three Konoha ninjas thought it was awkward when the teenage boy took up a confident fighting position but a face of that of a coward.

"Tenten," he muttered to his teammates, "Lady Hanabi, we need to take this fight somewhere else, for the sake of Hinata."

The two agreed.

Then all three ran towards Ryu, who was now backing away. He jumped through the trees with his pursuers close behind him.

Soon they found a clearing that was big enough for all four to fight.

Ryu took up the postition again, and so did his opponents.

The only thing bothering Tenten was that she didn't take up the Gentle Fist Style like her two teammates standing next to her. (This is just a joke. It won't be a problem in the battle. It's just something to hopefully lighten the mood.)

"You and I will settle this. Which one of us will get Hinata?"

As soon as he said this, Naruto took the front of real Ryu's shirt and he dragged him through the open ceiling.

When they were on the roof, Naruto threw Ryu down.

"Ugh!" the old man cried as he hit the floor of the roof.

"Just what do you want with Hinata, anyway?" Naruto asked harshly. His eyes were still a little orange so the fox hadn't completely taken him over, but he was angry enough to let some chakra slip through.

Old Ryu slowly stood up. "Young man, I don't want to battle here. My precious collection is down below."

Was he teasing him? This made the blonde ninja angrier. With a quick punch, he was able to send the man flying in the air and crash landing in the forest below.

After he heard the satisfying sound of trees breaking, he followed to where Ryu had landed.

Please Review!

Wow, so many Ryu problems!
Naruto's battle wasn't supposed to show yet.
It was going to be on the next chapter, but this chapter was short, so I just put a little of it here.
Warning: I am not good with battle scenes, so the next few chapters might not be good.
