Last Time:
Sahana tapped Hinata on the shoulder, who nodded in understanding and activated her byakugan, checking out the cave.
"It's a lot larger than it looks," Hinata summarised, "It's thin, but very long with three rooms - most of it's just one long hallway. The hallway's approximately 20 metres long, which goes into the cave behind the lodge and there are three large consecutive rooms after that in the cave. I can't see anyone inside, but I know they're there, since I can sense a high level genjutsu on the last two rooms." Hinata sighed, unhappy she couldn't see much more.
"Let's do this." Naruto grinned, as they all stealthily slipped through the lodge entrance.
Unluckily, only moments after they all were inside, a large crash was heard, causing everyone to turn around towards the noise, only to find that their exit was blocked.
"Shit..." Naruto cursed.
"Keep you're guard up, this must mean they know we're here." Sasuke informed everyone.
"Well, there's no going back now." Sahana said with determination.

"Remember to keep with the plan, I will take Gluttony, just remember to say things to get on their nerves, to make them hate the other." Sasuke instructed.
Hinata nodded, "I'll take Pride. I have liked in the Hyuuga compound for 13 years, I think I know a little about playing with a proud man's emotions."
Naruto quickly picked his opponent, "Lust is all mine. I have a score to settle with that bastard. Plus, I could use his blood-lust against him."
"Okay, then I'll take Wrath. Once we pin those guys against each other, hopefully they'll keep themselves busy, and we can try to take out the other three, and Tsuhiko, without distractions."
The group nodded, all double checking their weapons and scrolls, "Just so you know, if one of us doesn't come out of this, I love you all. You guys are the best thing I have ever had." Sahana looked over the group.
Hinata's eyes softened as she looked over to Sahana, "Don't worry, none of us will die. Besides, you and Sasuke still have to have kids who will call me Auntie Hina."
Sahana laughed, blushing a little bit, while Sasuke took in a deep breath, "Okay, promise me, none of you guys will die on me, okay?"
"Promise." Hinata said confidently.
"I promise, Sasuke-kun."
Naruto grinned, "There's no way I'm dying on you guys. I'm not Hokage yet, and I still have to marry a certain girlfriend of mine." He winked at Hinata, who started to blush.
"Stop flirting, Otouto, and lets kick some ass." Sahana giggled, before following Sasuke through the lodge hallway.
"Hinata, where are the sins?" Sasuke asked, his sharingan activated, prepared for anything.
Hinata had her byakugan activated. She was searching the entire lodge for any signs of life, "In the next room are three sins. The room after has the last four, and Tsuhiko. There is a strong genjutsu in the next room, so I cant quite focus on which sins are in which room. But if they aren't the ones we want, we need to improvise."
"Got it." Sasuke stated, "Prepare yourselves." he ordered, before kicking down the door.
"Kai." They all whispered to themselves, dissipating the genjutsu before it could take its full affect. They saw the three sins in the room, but they couldn't quite determine which of the sins they were, because of the fact that they had never seen any of them before.
"What are you doing in my house?" Finally one of the sins notice the group by the doorway, he had bright green eyes, and was currently in his mutant mode. He looked quite similar to Lust did, muscular legs, a tiny weak-looking torso... "That's it!" Hinata whispered to herself, but everyone heard her, well, everyone apart from the mutants.
"What?" Sasuke demanded.
"Their torso. That's their weak point." She calculated it with her byakugan, trying to be precise "But their chests are covered in overgrown ribs, effectively protecting them, but from the back, they are weak. We just need to use a fatal attack to their backs, and we just might be able to kill them... If I could get behind one of them, and send a jyuken strike directly to their heart through their backs... I think we'll be able to take them down." She whispered to them quietly so the others wouldn't be able to hear her.
The mutant who spoke before was getting aggravated with the group, "How dare you just appear in my house and talk to each other like I don't exist?" he ordered loudly, gaining the other sins attention, who also turned to the group.
A spark caught in Sasuke's eyes, as he noticed something this mutant said, "Whose house exactly?" He asked, smirking to himself.
"I told you, it's my-"
"My house."
"My house," All three mutants said it at the same time, then turned to each other, growling in irritation.
Naruto, Sasuke, Sahana and Hinata needed to know who these three were. Which sins they were, so they could kill them. Sasuke nudged Hinata gently, "We'll distract them. See if you can get behind one of them and finish them off." he whispered.
Hinata nodded, "I really wish I finished learning that chameleon jutsu..." She sighed, taking steps backwards, as the others all took a step forward, distracting the attention from Hinata.
"Hey! Big and ugly!" Naruto yelled out, making all three mutants turn to him. Naruto just laughed, "Ha! You all looked!"
"I'm not big and ugly!" one of the mutants growled, taking a step closer to the group.
Sahana grinned, "Well, the rest of us beg to differ."
"Let's do this. Kage bushin no jutsu!" Naruto called out as he formed a very familiar hand sign, and ten Naruto's popped into existence next to him.
Sahana quickly made some hand signs of her own, "Kumo no su Shibo no jutsu (Spider Web Entrapment)," she called out, pressing her palm to the ground as a chakra enhanced web sprung out and captured the closest mutant.
The shadow clone Naruto's charged the two remaining mutants, keeping them distracted while Hinata tried her best.
Coming out from the shadows behind the entrapped and struggling mutant, she brought as much chakra to her hands as possible, and silently charged towards him. At about five feet away, she sprung in the air, holding both hands facing forward aimed at his back when the unpredictable happened.
He broke the web.
With a roar, Hinata immediately realised that it knew she was there, but there was nothing she could do. The mutant swung around, it's large arms slamming into her side, sending her flying back and crashing onto the ground.
"You really think something like that is going to work on me? Me?"
"Pride." At least now Hinata knew who it was.
Sahana ran over to her fallen comrade, "I'm so sorry Hina! I thought it would've held him."
Hinata smiled at her sister, "Don't worry about it. I'm fine." She said, standing back up. "You go help Sasuke and Naruto. I've got this guy."
Sahana nodded, noticing the look of determination on Hinata's face with a smile, "You got it."
Hinata got up, watching as Sahana ran off to help the others. She turned back to Pride, who was watching her intently, eyes focused and indifferent.
Clenching her knuckles tightly and focusing herself at the task at hand, she stared down the large mutant, eyes narrowed and prepared. Vacantly from the other end of the room, she heard Naruto talk to Sasuke and Sahana, "Cover me. I'm going to activate my Sage Mode." He warned, and Hinata knew he was getting serious.
"What are you doing in my home?" Pride glared at the petit woman in front of him, mind full of malicious thoughts as he stared her down.
Hinata grinned, pulling her plan into action, "What do you mean? Greed invited me."
Pride's eyes narrowed further, his eyes were slitted so much Hinata was wondering if he could even see, but she pushed that to the back of her mind as he began to speak, "He did no such thing. Everyone knows that this is my home, not his."
"That's not what he told me." Hinata said, acting confused, "He said that this was his home. And he invited me and my friends to come and party with him for a while."
"LIAR!" Pride yelled, charging the girl.
Hinata jumped back quickly, dodging Pride's fist my mere millimetres. She didn't expect him to get this mad, and it wasn't turning out too well for herself as she was nearing the edge of the room.
Putting her hands into a position that she was taught by her boyfriend, she called out, "Kage Bushin no Justu!" Creating six clones around her. She really needed to finish this guy off soon. He was looking rather murderous. And it was all directed at her.
** DEMON COUPLE **
Naruto's eyes were closed, he was silent, concentrating on the world around him and the energy flowing through every living thing.
He could hear Sasuke and Sahana fighting, double-teaming two of the mutants while Hinata was fighting a battle with the third in the room. He made sure not to ponder the health of his comrade's too much, since that would only distract him, and concentrated on the chakra entering his body.
All eyes were averted from their battles as someone entered the room.
Another Mutant.
Sahana, quickly doing the math, counted four in the room. That meant three were still around. But that was good. So far they weren't outnumbered. Only if they could take down a few of these guys, they could even up the playing field for when the others arrived.
Eyes were widened as the newest addition to the mutant family didn't even attempt to attack Naruto, Hinata, Sahana or Sasuke. He went straight for Pride.
"How dare you mess up my home!"
Apparently they didn't get along very well.
"Your home!" Pride roared at his brother, "HOW DARE YOU TELL ME THAT THIS BELONGS TO YOU, GREED! How many times do I have to tell you that this doesn't belong to you!" He glanced over to Hinata out of the corner of his eye, then back to Greed. "You brought them here!"
Hinata grinned widely, happy that her plan was – albeit finally – coming into action, "I find nothing wrong with what Greed has done." She stated her opinion, trying to aggravate the mutants further.
"I know what you are." Greed said, taking a step closer to Pride, "Jealous." He smirked.
And then Pride charged.
And Hinata was not prepared for the clash that happened in front of her.
Greed's body slammed into Pride's, a large clashing noise echoing throughout the room, and the force of the blow sending poor Hinata who was closest to the attack, flying many feet backwards. Quickly jumping to her feet, she ran to the other side of the room, narrowly dodging the flying Greed that was being launched at her.
The large hulk of a mutant crashed into the wall so very close to where she was just situated, and her eyes widened at the sight of the roof crumbling slightly. She needed to keep an eye on these two so they wouldn't bring the house down... literally.
** DEMON COUPLE **
Sahana was having a little bit of trouble. The mutant in front of her, now known as Gluttony, landed in the exact spot she was standing only moments ago, a large crack in the floor below him. Gluttony was the largest thing she'd ever seen. He was tall, but only around a head taller than Sasuke, but he was large. He must weigh around 300 kilos! She thought to herself unhappily. And he was trying to squish her. This wasn't good.
Pulling out a syringe from her belt. She noticed that she only had one left. But she had to deal. Jumping towards the monster, she slammed the syringe into it's arm, only to find the needle bend, not even breaking the skin.
Shit.
Gluttony then grabbed her by the arm, lifting her high above the ground as she struggled, doing some one-handed hand signs before yelling out biting her thumb and spreading the blood across Gluttony's arm, "Kumo Shōkan: Sen dokuga!" (Spider Summoning: A thousand venomous fangs.)
And from the blood spread along Gluttony's arm, spiders one after another crawled out, of all sizes, and sank their teeth into Gluttony.
Gluttony, who wasn't expecting that, dropped Sahana immediately in attempt to shake the eight legged creatures off.
After that plan turned out to be a failure, and the spiders had started trapping Gluttony in their web, he did the next best thing. He ate the closest spider.
Sahana's eyes widened as one of her precious spiders was officially eaten, she jumped into action. She was mad. While the rest of the spiders continued on their attempt of wrapping him up securely in their unbreakable web, she sprung out her hands to create a web of her own. She knew she didn't have a technique powerful enough to take him down, so she wrapped his mouth up in her own web, stopping him from eating any of her other spiders, then continued to wrap him up in help of her spiders.
She was just about finished when she heard a loud crack, and looked up to see Pride flying towards her. She was about to scream when a dark purple flash appeared in front of her catching the giant mass of a mutant and a palm strike hitting his back so hard and so chakra powered you could see the dark purple chakra come out the other side and reach around fifteen feet in front of him.
Sahana's surprised eyes tuned to Hinata, who was covered in a purple chakra, covering her like a second skin. She was on four legs, and had simultaneously grown black ears and a black tail, her eyes darkened subtly.
Sahana almost laughed at the wolfy grin Hinata sent her way, and before she knew it Hinata and taken off after Greed who was lying face first on the ground defeated.
Watching in awe, Sahana saw Hinata finish Greed off, with a similar strike to the one she used on Pride.
Turning around back to the mutant at hand, she was surprised to see a long arrow sticking out of it's back and the mutant falling onto the ground like a axed tree. She watched with a smile as Naruto grinned at her, his now yellow coloured eyes glinting in excitement as the dead mutant collapsed and all the spiders retreated back to Sahana.
Naruto grinned at Sahana as He and Hinata ran over to where Sasuke was finishing up Envy with a sword to his back, Sahana herself not far behind him.
"Four down." Sasuke turned to his friends with a grin.
Naruto nodded in agreement, "Three to go."
