Beginning Notes: I think I made Shikamaru too OP. While rereading the story to answer questions, I keep imagining Shikamaru ripping Choji apart. Read, review and enjoy.
ShikaNaru: The Bloody Mist took place when children were in the academy, at least I gave them a little time. Also, these children are about to die! With Kiba being the most animalistic of the bunch, I think wanting to claim a girl is one of the things he has on his bucket list.
Batros940: Zabuza became one of the strongest jounin we know of in Naruto. He participated in the bloody mist. I would say, if possible of course, if Zabuza was trained by two Sannin and four jounin, he would become extremely more powerful than he is canon. Also, Kiri stopped the practice because Zabuza killed over a hundred of his classmates. Kiri did not stop the Bloody Mist because it was an ineffective method of breeding shinobi, it actually created the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist who are Kiri's strongest ninja so I would say it was an effective method, but to make sure they didn't breed shinobi like Zabuza again. Zabuza would be on the level of the Hashirama or maybe stronger.
Skeptical: You will see Lee soon. If you remember, Lee left the hospital to help the rookies retrieve Sasuke so he should be in 'fighting' condition but not peak condition. Also, Hinata is still the girl we all know her as, she would never do that to Neji. Right?
Chapter 2
"Well, it looks like you're fucked Naruto." laughed Kiba
Tenten grabbed Neji's hand as she was behind him. 'I love you so much, you just don't know' she thought
'I'm sorry for this Neji, but I can't allow you to hurt more people.' thought a sobbing Tenten. As she held the hand of the young man she loved, she lightly unbottomed started unbuttoning her blouse. Naruto could lightly see what she was doing and pushed Shikamaru to the ground. Putting chakra to his feet, Naruto ran as fast as he could towards Hinata, who was being held by Sasuke. While running, he created seven kage bunshin to occupy Kiba, who was trying to intercept Naruto. Sasuke jumped in the air with the tied up Hinata and Naruto followed suite.
Right when his hand was inches from the wire binding her, an explosion launched them away from each other. Naruto quickly flipped himself and stuck his feet to the ceiling with chakra. He looked to his left to see Sasuke holding Hinata on the side of a wall. He ran on the ceiling after Sasuke. He was suddenly stopped in his tracks when Kiba appeared in front of him. "I don't have time for you!" Naruto tried to bulldoze over Kiba, but was halted.
He swung at him but Kiba ducked under and delivered an uppercut slash to his chin. Naruto plummeted to the ground hard. He landed in the bloody bits and remains of TenTen, Neji and what looked to be some bugs. He suddenly heard a cry of pain and turned to his left.
There, trying to crawling away from the conflict was Hyuuga Neji. His left arm and leg was missing, he had a kunai stuck in his kidney and a piece of his face was missing. He held the area at this left eye and tried to look fiercely at Naruto. "You bastard, you had her do this!"
"Actually, we didn't. I thought she betrayed us, but once I saw her unbuttoning her blouse I saw an explosive note and knew what she was planning to do. Thats why I ran for Hinata." Shikamaru then walked up to Neji and took the kunai out his kidney. He held it to his Neji's neck. Neji tried to juken strike him, but Shikamaru caught his wrist. "Your injuries have slowed you movements. Anything you want to say before you die?" Neji remained quiet. "Fine by me." Shikamaru slit his throat and walked over to Naruto. "You go after Sasuke, I got the mutt."
"Yea Naruto, go after Sasuke and get your bitch. You better be ready later, because when I'm done with Shikamaru here I'm coming after you. I'm going to rip you apart. And while I whisper in her ear everything I've done to you and she's screaming your name for help..." Shikamaru could see the rage in Naruto's face. His eyes became slit, his hands became claws, his whiskers darkened and a red aura was surrounding him. Shikamaru stepped back, but Kiba didn't notice this and continued to walk towards Naruto. He leaned into Naruto's ear and whispered "I'm going to fuck her into the ground and kill her when I'm done." Kiba had a smirk on his face as he looked at Naruto, whose head was down.
Kiba walked past Naruto towards Shikamaru but was stopped when Naruto grabbed his arm tightly. He pulled Kiba back in front of him and lifted him in the area by his throat. Kiba tried to kick Naruto in the gut while in his tightening grip, but it unphased Naruto. Naruto finally lifted his head and the white of his eyes became black, while his eyes were still slit. "YOU WON'T DO SHIT TO HER!"
Naruto took his clawed hand and shoved it into Kiba's stomach, going straight through until his elbow was touching the inside. Naruto ripped his arm out Kiba and dashed forward, slamming him into the wall Sasuke was still gripped to. Sasuke jumped from the wall with Hinata as it began to crumble. Sasuke landed in the bloody mess on the floor and rushed for the door.
"Oh no you don't" Shikamaru tossed a kunai at Sasuke who was about to dodged it. 'Got you' thought Shikamaru. Sasuke at the last second noticed the shadow that was connected to the one of the kunai. He quickly tossed Hinata into the path of the shadow and Shikamaru ended up mimicking the same tied up position as Hinata. Taking this as his chance, Sasuke sped through hand seals. Katon: Hosenka no jutsu! (Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu)
'Gotta time this right.' Shikamaru stretched his shadow and connected it to Sasuke's. He immediately stood up and somersaulted out the way of the first small fireball. He ran as towards Sasuke and started to go through hand seals. 'I may not know this jutsu, but he probably does.' Realizing the hand seals, Sasuke smirked and molded chakra. 'That's right you bastard mold chakra.' Shikamaru put his hand to his mouth and release his jutsu, jumping over Sasuke as he did the jutsu just like he planned. Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu) As Shikamaru rushed out the door, he looked back at the giant fireball heading for Naruto and Kiba. 'I'm sorry Naruto.' He then rushed out the building and headed deep into the forest.
Naruto was threw the bloody Kiba to the ground after he slammed him into the wall. He stood over him and repeated to pound him into the ground. "I don't know why I'm nice to people like you and the villagers! I should've gotten revenge on all of you long ago! No more! After this, I'm going to destroy everything! For all the beatings, all the ridicule and for all the times everyone threatened to kill my HINATA-CHAN!" Naruto keep pounding Kiba even after his head was nothing but a pile of mush. He punched harder and harder, faster and faster as a tear came out his eye. "NO ONE IS TAKING MY HINATA-CHAN!"
Naruto saw a bright light behind him to see a giant fireball headed for him. He turned around and faced the fireball. The fireball hit him, causing the area to crumble and be set aflame. Sasuke watched as Naruto crawled out the flaming rubble and walk towards him. Thinking quickly, he decided now was not the time to fight Naruto. He untied Hinata and backed away from her. "I'll see you around sometime." he said with a smirk. Naruto sped towards Sasuke and stood at the side of him. "And what makes you think I'm going to let you go?"
"Because I'm already gone." Naruto punched Sasuke but it went through it, revealing it was a bunshin. The bunshin laughed as it disappeared. "Damn"
Naruto looked at Hinata who was crying her eyes. She had seen everything that was going on. From the suicidal death of Tenten to the beating of Kiba. Naruto's appearance returned to normal and he walked towards Hinata. She backed up as he came closer. 'She's afraid of me' He held his head down and turned around. He started to walk away from her when he suddenly felt arms wrap around him. "Don't leave me!" she cried. "But you're scared of me." he answered.
"I'm not scared of you." She turned him around and put her hand to his cheek. "I'm just scared of what you can do." She put her forehead to his and kissed him passionately. After they broke away from each other, Naruto looked around. "Where's Shikamaru?"
"He left us"
"What?! Shikamaru wouldn't do that, would he?" Naruto was shocked to say the least.
"Naruto, this is a fight to the death. Why would you think Shikamaru wouldn't betray us sooner or later?"
"Cause he's not like that. He's been helping me since this started."
"And what have you done for him?"
"Nothing, I just promised him I would take care of Sasuke." Naruto didn't understand why Shikamaru would do that to him, especially since they have been together since the beginning of this massacre. Suddenly, Shikamaru appeared in a shunshin. "Yo"
Naruto looked to his left and grabbed Shikamaru by his collar. "You left us you son of a bitch!" Shikamaru took Naruto's hand and pulled it off his collar. "Calm down. I left because you were going on a rampage and thought with Sasuke there, it would be a perfect chance to take care of him. I would have been in the way if I stayed."
Hinata then walked over to them. "Then why didn't you take me with you?!" she yelled. "Because you are the only one that can snap him out of his rage. You don't realize the amount of influence you have on him."
"We shouldn't trust him Naruto. We should go on our own."
"Naruto, remember the deal. I help you survive and you kill Sasuke." said Shikamaru.
'Dammit, he's right. He's the main reason I'm alive and still have Hinata.' "I'm sorry Hinata but he stays with us for now."
DAY 4- MIDDAY
Naruto and Hinata were having a little alone time as they walked through the forest. "I don't trust, he's going to turn on us when we least expect it." said Hinata with her arms crossed. "I'm telling you, he won't." 'At least not until I kill Sasuke, if I think I know what he's planning' They continued to walk for several minutes, oblivious to the fact they are being watched. 'Just a little further you bastard' thought the hidden figure.
"Naruto-kun, we can't take chances like this."
"Hinata-chan, I'm telling you, we'll be-" Naruto was interrupted when the ground erupted in an explosion in front of him. Naruto grabbed Hinata and quickly leap backwards as chains of explosions followed them. 'Gotcha!' The figure threw a shuriken at in a bush and suddenly a weighted chain sped towards Hinata from behind. Seeing it coming in the corner of his eyes, Naruto pushed Hinata out the way and the chain wrapped around his chest. The weighted ends had so much momentum they knocked the wind out of him, hitting his heart and kidney. Hinata hit her head against the tree Naruto pushed her into and was knocked unconscious.
As Naruto hit the hard dirt, an explosion launched him upwards. While in midair, Naruto struggled to get out his chains, but was stopped when a figure appeared above him and stabbed him in the chest with a kunai as they plummeted to the ground. The impact caused the kunai to enter his body even deeper. Naruto coughed up blood as the weapon had penetrated his upper body. They began to twist the kunai as it was in his lung. "I'm to make feel pain tenfold the amount she felt"
Naruto began to scream from the excruciating pain. "S-Sakura... You knew she would die no matter what." Naruto began to cough up blood from internal bleeding. "SHUT UP!" She pulled another kunai out of her pouch and stabbed him between the stomach. Naruto began to cough up more blood. "Do you know how hard it was to finally get to you, hm?" Naruto looked at her as she stared at him fiercely. "I had to kill Shino just to set up the traps. I mortally wounded Lee because he didn't want me to kill you. Oh I had to play the sweet little girl that loved her Lee-kun and promised to never hurt you..." Then a sadistic look appear on her face. "...Before I took a kunai and stabbed Lee in the kidney, then sliced his left eye so I could escape."
"Shino died in the explosion, and how could you do that to Lee?" asked Naruto as he coughed up more blood. "No, I found Shino last night with his right arm missing and a hole in his chest. His bugs were eating him alive, trying get any chakra they can before he died. He tried to take me out while I was setting traps, but in the end a shuriken to the jugular took care of him. Oh you don't know how good it felt when I ended his life, it was like nothing I ever felt before. The sensation of seeing the blood pour out his body was heavenly."
"You sick-" Naruto interrupted himself as more blood poured out his mouth.
"As for Lee, he was easier than Shino. That naive boy will believe anything I say." She then leaned close to his ear. "Now then, here is what I am going to do. First I am going to tie Hinata up, and I'm going to make you watch as I torture her. Then once I'm done torturing her, I'm going to slit her throat and then kill you. Ok?" Naruto's eyes became slits as killer intent poured out of him like a river. "Somebody's angry." He struggled to get out the chains as hard as he could. "Ah ah ah, no no no" she said. She twisted both of the kunai in his body. Naruto screamed in pain once again before she knocked him out.
TORTURE SCENE
When Naruto came to, the first thing he noticed was that he couldn't feel his fingers or toes. He could feel, however, very sharp pains in his... Everywhere. Naruto recognized a soreness in his chest and head, indicating recently healed wounds, and a shortness of air. Naruto opened his eyes and noticed several things at once. For one, the difficulty breathing was from ninja wire tightly binding him to a tree. The next thing he noticed, was his beloved Hinata-chan bound, somewhat looser, crucified by ninja wire, to a tree only twenty yards away. "So much as one word, murderer, and I carve your whore a nice new smile." Sakura pressed the kunai in the edge of her mouth.
"Sak-" Naruto was cut off.
"Agh!" Hinata gasped. Blood leaked from a horizontal cut in Hinata's cheek, slightly widening her mouth. Sakura smiled and rubbed her thighs together, sighing in ecstasy, "I just love the sounds she makes when she's cut," Sakura smiled in joy, "I wonder what sounds she'll make when I stab her."
Naruto could only cringe and look away as Hinata screamed. "OH YES!" Sakura gasped, a liquid dripping from under her dress onto the ground, "I wish Ino-chan were here to see this," Sakura viciously twisted the kunai into Hinata's wrist, eliciting a louder cry.
"Naruto-kun, please," Hinata struggled through the pain, "M-make her s-s-STOP!" Sakura jammed the knife in deeper, than she backed two steps away, hugging herself as she shook. For a brief moment, Naruto had hoped Sakura had come to her senses, but when he saw the dirt beneath her grow damp, he realized that for her, killing Shino WAS orgasmic.
"I-I came?" Sakura recollected herself and looked Naruto in the eye, and smiled cruelly. "Time for more fun" She giggles and jerked her wrist, causing the ninja wire to tighten around Hinata's abdomen, cutting through her jacket in some places. Sakura cut down Hinata's right hand, the one that wasn't pinned to the tree. "This is for Ino you bastard!" She punched Hinata in the elbow, forcing it to bend upwards and snap. Hinata silently screamed, ninja or not she was only thirteen, she had limits, her head lolled, and snapped right back up with a blood curdling not-so-silent scream. Sakura then snapped Hinata's forearm as well.
Naruto began to cry silently, this wasn't supposed to happen, Hinata wasn't supposed to get hurt at all. He was too weak, too slow. He couldn't protect the one thing he cared for. Sakura stroked the shuddering girl's cheek, right along the cut she made earlier. She had an analytical look in her eye, then she tsked, pulled a bottle and swab from her equipment pouch. She opened the bottle, Naruto immediately recognized the smell of alcohol. She dipped the swab in the liquid and rubbed directly into the cut on Hinata's cheek. As Sakura cleaned the wound, Hinata let tears fall. "Ino-chan wouldn't want this to happen to you, Hinata" Sakura said in a too caring voice, "Simply swear you hate Naruto, and I'll let you go. I'll even patch you up and help you hide."
Hinata whispered, "What was that?" Sakura leaned forward and asked,
"I s-said," Hinata spat, shaking in rage and indignation," That you c-can go join Ino in hell before I say such a thing." Sakura back-handed Hinata, striking her injured cheek and punched her thorax, knocking the air out of Hinata. She then made a squeezing motion with her hand, forcing an unseen wire to tighten around Hinata's neck, drawing blood and slowly choking the life out of her.
TORTURE SCENE END
Seeing possibly his only chance before Hinata bleeds out or suffocates, Naruto made his move. He pushed his body forward as hard as he could, the wire tearing through his clothing and skin. Sakura noticed and threw a shuriken at him with her free hand. Naruto quickly broke his bloody right hand out of the wire and placed his hand in the shuriken path. 'Now to get out of this' thought Naruto. With the weapon stuck in his hand, Naruto cut through the wire to Sakura's shock. She began to tighten the wire around Hinata's throat, trying to get some sort of satisfactory revenge. Not feeling it was quick enough, Sakura snatched the bloody kunai out of Hinata's wrist and pulled her arm back. She thrusted forward. With the blade centimeters from Hinata's face, Sakura was kicked several yards away.
"Naruto-kun..." said Hinata horsely. Naruto cut her loose and held her in his arms bridal style. "We have to get of here!" Naruto was about to dash off when Hinata jumped out his arms. "NO! We have to kill her. I don't want to do it but if we don't kill her then she'll keep coming after us."
"I can't do that Hinata-chan" said Naruto sadly. Hinata walked up to him and hugged him, feeling protected in his arms. She looked him in the eyes as her eyes became series. "I will do it."
"What?!"
"I have been contemplating about this since the beginning, I have to fight. I have to prove that I am not your damsel in distress. I will show my strength and determination. I will demonstrate to everyone that I am not a shy pushover." 'Especially to you father.' Hinata then turned around, facing a pissed off Sakura.
"Hinata, you're wounds are no much. You'll bleed out before you can kill her! I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO DIE!"
"Then I'll just have to make this quick" she said as blood trailed down her mouth from her small cough and cut smile. She got into her juken fighting style and readied for Sakura to attack.
Sakura looked at her and liked the blood off the kunai in her hand. "The blood of a Hyuuga princess is so... detestable." He then ran towards Hinata as fast she could and did a one handed seal. Hinata activated her byakugan and focused attention to her surroundings. She sensed below her and quickly jumped to the air, mere milliseconds before an explosion erupted from under her. "I have this whole played booby trapped, you dead!" Hinata turned around as she saw a giant tree swinging towards her. She dodged the log and grabbed onto it. She swiftly sensed where some of the traps were and headed for Sakura.
Sakura saw her chance and threw her last three kunai at Hinata. The kunai hit their mark but just when Sakura thought she had her, Hinata poofed into a log. Sakura turned around and saw a bloody and broken Hinata right in face. "You're in the range of my new attack" Rabendā tamashī no jutsu! (Lavender Soul Technique) Hinata brought her arm upwards and strike Sakura under her lungs, hitting her heart. The skin around Sakura's heart began to turn purplish in color. Sakura slumped to the ground and put her hand to her heart. Her eyes widened when she didn't feel a heartbeat. She looked at her chest and saw a lavender colored version of the Hyuuga Clan symbol. She looked up to Hinata as she laid on the ground.
"This technique slowly and painlessly kills the victim. It stops the heart by infusing chakra into your pacemaker cells and causing them to burst. These cells are what causes your heart to beat. Next, your sinoatrial node, or cardiac pacemaker, becomes inert. Without this node electricity will not be produced, your nervous system and brain will shut down. With no electricity in your body, you will be dead in less than thirty seconds. I'm sorry it had to come to this Sakura." sobbed Hinata.
The blind Sakura just looked to the sky and died silently and gently, thinking of Ino in her last seconds. Hinata cried for her fallen comrade. Sakura may have tried to kill her, but it was not her doing. Its was this free-for-all thats was changing everyone. So, Hinata cried for her friend.
Naruto appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her, letting her weep in his chest. When she looked to him, he pointed to what looked to be a grave. He let go of his love and walked over to Sakura. He picked her up in his arms and walked over to the grave, with Hinata only steps behind.
When they came to the grave, the outer edge was surrounded by White Chrysanthemums, with a single red rose laying atop in the middle. There was a rock at the head of the grave that seemed to be a makeshift headstone. These were the words that adorned it:
Yamanaka Ino
The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers
Bloomed Withered
23rd of September, 1982 19th of November, 1995
Naruto laid Sakura's lifeless body against a tree and created several Kage Bunshin. As they dug through the grave, they made sure not to affect the surrounding flowers. Once they made it to Ino's body, they were shocked to see it in perfect condition. Naruto dispelled his clones and laid Sakura down in the grave with Ino. He covered up the grave once more and placed the red rose down vertically. He then placed down a cherry blossom and a violet flower criss crossed over the red rose. He etched on a rock and rested the makeshift tombstone next to Ino's. It stated:
Haruno Sakura
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Bloomed Withered
28th of March, 1982 22nd of November, 1995
Naruto picked up Hinata and walked back to their base.
3 HOURS LATER- WITH ROCK LEE
Lee leaned against a tree as he took deep breathes, blood crawling down his face as he gripped his side.. "I must warn Naruto-kun about-" Everything for him went black as he slipped into unconsciousness.
When he awoke, he could smell fish and the warmth of a fire. He felt his side and the mortal wound was treated to some extent. He sat up to see he was in a cave. Sitting up, he saw a figure in the darkness. "Who are you?!" said Lee as he stood up. Walking into the light of the fire was Uchiha Sasuke, his two tomoe Sharingan blazing. "Your harbinger"
"Sasuke, I am surprised you did not kill me?"
"No, you have a purpose. I need more strength to defeat Naruto, that is the reason of your existence."
"What?! I won't allow you to kill him!" Sasuke laughed at Lee's determination. "Say, you kill me by some miracle, will you have it in yourself to kill him?"
"I won't kill Naruto, there has to be another way for this to end!" Sasuke laughed sadistically and vanished into the cave. Lee stayed on his guard as he looked for Sasuke with his only eye. He was quickly blindsided by a kick to the face and flew out the cave. He was launched into a tree where he was kicked on the head to the ground. Lee looked up to see Sasuke with his curse seal activated. "With my seal active, I'm just as fast as you are without your weights. So take them off, I want a challenge from the Wild Beast of Konoha."
'What?! As fast as I am without weights?' thought Rock Lee as he discarded his weights. Sasuke back flipped away from Lee. They were about 50 yards from each other in the clearing. Suddenly, with astonishing speed, the two began to battle. Lee was struggling to keep up, and as a result was blasted to the ground. "Well, well what do we have here? A most pathetic excuse for a shinobi." Sasuke came down from the sky and smashed both of his feet into Lee.
Standing over him, Sasuke went through hand seals. Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!) Tomon Open! (Gate of Limit Open!) The fire was blown away. Rock Lee proceeded to punch Sasuke in the stomach over fifty times before he was launched away. 'Final, its time' thought Sasuke as he stood up in pain. He created a chidori and looked at the red skin Lee.
Lee stood there, revealing his power. "Sasuke-kun! I am your Harbinger!" Sasuke looked directly at Lee with his sharingan spinning wildly. Lee ran forward, going directly at Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Lee as the Green Beast began to slow down. 'I CAN SEE!' thought Sasuke as he saw Lee running towards him. 'My Sharingan is complete!' Sasuke smirked as Lee ran towards him. 'What good is being able to see the next move, if I can't react to it fast enough. I'll have to time my Chidori right.'
Sasuke put his hand forward to prepare his attack. Lee was directly in front of Sasuke, he kicked Sasuke upwards. 'Here's my chance!' As Sasuke looked to see Lee still in his same position on the ground, his hand was centimeters from the heel of Lee's foot. He grabbed the heel and put his Chidori behind his back so he wouldn't kill himself on accident.
Lee was going so fast, he didn't notice Sasuke had a hold on him. When he looked up while in midair, Sasuke was nowhere to be seen. Lee then felt his heart disappear and incredible pain. He looked to his chest to see a hand holding his heart. His heart had third degree burns giving it, he could smell the burnt and flaming flesh. He was kicked to the ground with the heel of Sasuke's foot to his face. Lee laid in the dirt, his body void of life.
"The moment I unlocked my full Sharingan, it was over for you." Sasuke looked to the heart that was releasing ash, he crushed it under his powerful fist. "Now, if only there was a garbage dump nearby so I could give him a proper burial, heh heh."
DAY 6- NIGHT
Naruto was sitting next to Hinata as she sleep. He held her hand in his, hoping she recovered from her torment. Suddenly, he sat up and was unable to move his body. He took a kunai out and placed it into Hinata's neck. Her neck wound was opening back up, causing blood to stain the kunai. Hinata, while in her sleep, showed she was in pain. Naruto was staring at the kunai as in slightly pierced her neck. "Oh god, this isn't happening. This isn't happening!" yelled Naruto. Hinata awakened due to his shouting. "Naruto, what are you-" she felt the blade pressed in her throat and dared not move. "I'm so sorry Hinata, you were right about him." sobbed Naruto. Hinata pointed her eyes to her right to see a depressed looking Shikamaru in the shadows.
Hinata was soon unable to move as well. Her hand moved on its own and put a shuriken to Naruto's upper spinal cord. "I thought you needed me?" asked Naruto. "I did, put then I saw Sasuke kill Lee. I found a weakness in his curse seal, his chidori and his Strong Fist Style. I'm confident enough that I can take him out on my own. So, that means I have to deal with you two somehow. Seeing as you were in love, I decided to end your lives as any couple would. By killing each other. I'm sorry it had to be this way."
"There's no need to apologize Shikamaru, I actually knew something like this would happen. I just hoped deep down inside, you of all people would prove me wrong." said Hinata. The weapons then punctured deeper into their skin. "That's why I made a precaution incase you actually tried to kill us in the tree." She then whispered something to Naruto, causing him to have a face of worry.
Shikamaru didn't like this, he was at a disadvantage. Then he knew what she was about to do! He saw her putting chakra into the bed and heard a sizzling noise. He released his jutsu and tried to escape the tree. An explosion could be heard throughout the entire forest. The area was littered with fire. Trees were lit aflame. Smoke was heavy in the air. The grass was set ablaze.
In the middle of the burning forest was Naruto as he held her in his arms. Surrounding the two was Naruto's chakra. His eyes were slit, his hands became claws, his whiskers more fierce and his canines sharper. Hinata leaned in and kissed him gusto. Then, a figure came into the fiery area. "Seems like you've created the perfect setting for an ending, eh lovebirds?" Hinata and Naruto looked to the Uchiha. His sharingan blazing and spinning wildly, his curse seal activated. Could see his right forearm was turning a greyish shade and the white of his eyes were dark grey.
Naruto looked to Hinata. "I'll handle this, you go find a safe place to hide."
"No, I'm fighting alongside you."
"But you're wounds are not healed!"
"Your chakra has done enough." She stretched her body and got a feel for her still pained areas. "If you die here, I want to go with you" she put her hand on his neck and hugged him. "Now then..." She got into her family's prized fighting style "...Let's finish this together!"
"Together!" said Naruto as he got on all fours, tail flailing in excitement.
Sasuke got into his Strong Fist fighting stance "My heart is calm and pure... PURE EVIL!" Sasuke rushed towards Naruto and Hinata as he sped through hand seals. "Naruto! I'm going to kill you, Hinata and anyone else who gets in my way!"
