Chapter Fifteen
Toki glared harshly at the blonde who declared his feelings for his girlfriend, he wanted nothing more but to kill him, but was going to refrain himself from doing that. Takeshi took a step forward his pure black eyes blaring at Naruto and Nagi with a wide devious smirk on his face.
"Heh, you two have been standing there for quite a long time now. Wouldn't you think it's time one of you makes the first move?" He questioned.
The white haired male grunted as he raised his kunai up more. "I would think you two could make the first move"
Toki becoming highly annoyed that no one hasn't started the first blow, with quick light speed he moved so fast that he was suddenly in front of Naruto. "If no one is going to start anything, I'll be the one who starts it" He stated as he raised both of his hands forming all of his chakra forming a softball sized energy.
"Kado Tension" Toki said in a low tone as he blasted his attack into Naruto's chest. Once the attack hit the blonde it sent him flying back a few yards, blasting through knocking down a good five trees behind him.
Nagi stared with wide eyes at the attack Toki just used on Naruto. But his head turned when he heard a soft voice call out to Naruto, he figured it was the girl name Hinata but before he could have time to react to anything he felt a fist connect with his jaw.
"You're opponent is standing here, so you're focus should be solely on me and me only...if you don't want to get killed" Takeshi grinned widely. But the grin was an evil twisted grin, one that made Nagi shiver in fear.
Sasuke and Hiei stood there watching the four males fighting each other. He felt almost bad watching Naruto getting tossed back and fourth by Toki. He felt a tug on his sleeve, looking down he noticed the look in Hinata's eyes, it was clear to say she was just as worried about Naruto as he was.
"What kind of attack was that Toki did?" Hiei asked becoming more interested in what Toki was capable of.
"It's called Kado Tension, it is a very powerful attack...once it makes contact on the body it does major damage to the inside" Hinata explained while Suki glanced over at her noticing how the female's Hyuga eyes was watching the light purple haired male.
"Toki can't control himself...someone should stop him" Hinata stated becoming worried of what could happen.
Sasuke shook his head while staring at Toki. "Leave him be, he knows the protocol and I'm sure he doesn't want Takeshi yelling in his face. The guy looks up to him and will most likely only listen to you, Takeshi, Kabuto and sometimes Orochimaru"
Suki and Hiei glanced at each other and back to the fight.
Takeshi grinned while staring at Nagi, he quickly ran towards the white haired male and raised his fist up and began punching Nagi in the stomach in lighting speed. Nagi coughed up some blood, his eyes widened in shock from Takeshi's fast paced movements.
"Heh, you aren't even putting a fight" Takeshi stated while throwing his fist at the male. Nagi growled lowly to himself, he didn't want to lose to this guy but he was too strong, he could barely pull his own weight against him.
He was suddenly pushed back with a force so hard he was knocked down into the ground creating a large crater in the ground due to the impact. The white haired male's back hit the ground harshly causing him to open his eyes widely as blood splattered out his mouth.
"Ack!" He yelled out in pain.
Takeshi grinned deviously while bouncing up and down side to side while in his fighting stance. "Heh, you know I think this one is holding back a little" The red head stated while gazing down at the white haired male.
Hiei knew his brother was powerful and tended be slightly rough, but as he was watching Takeshi he could clearly see he was toying with Nagi, if he were being serious that kid wouldn't be alive right now. "He's toying with him" Sasuke and Suki turned they're heads to look at Hiei.
"Toying? How can he be toying, he is nearly killing that guy" Suki said while looking back over at fight.
Hiei shook his head. "My brother is very strong, his strength would rival Orochimaru's or Toki's when he is in his bloodlust stage. Right now aniki can tell that guy is hold back but he himself is holding back, also Toki is as well from what I can tell" He explained.
Hinata narrowed her eyes at the fight but her head quickly turned when she heard Naruto gasp out in pain.
"Gah!" The blonde cried out when Toki stabbed him on his stomach with a kunai.
Toki pulled away taking a step away from the blonde, he held his ever "poker face" not revealing one single emotion on his face. He had hurt the male quite a few times but each time he got back up, it was very obvious that this blonde didn't like to give up very easily.
"I won't back down, I will win and bring back Hinata-chan and Sasuke" He said with determination in his tone. He couldn't lose to this guy; his blue eyes gazed over at Hinata noticing the concern in her eyes. "Concern for me..." He thought to himself with a small frown. Sure he was happy that she was worried for him which showed that she still cared but when didn't sit to well with him was the fact that concern that was lacing her white orbs was mainly because deep down inside she knew that he was no match for this Toki guy.
"Why do you care so much about these two?"
"They are my friends!" Naruto yelled out at him.
Toki stared at him for a few moments, closing his eyes he turned his head back to look at his girlfriend. "She's worried I'm going to kill you" He heard Naruto inhale once he stated that, he glanced back over at Naruto. "But you don't have to worry, Takeshi-sempai said we can play...you're very lucky right now" He stated.
His bloodshot red eyes bored into Naruto's blue ones, behind those eyes he could see his killing intent but the blonde shook his head and stood up straight. Smiling confidently he pointed his finger out at Toki. "I won't give up, that's my way of the ninja" He grinned.
Hinata's eyes widened at the phrase he just used knowing that he had gotten it from her.
Toki said nothing but charge at Naruto as did Naruto, they both raised they're fist up at each other but Toki quickly blocked Naruto's attack with his forearm and punched the blonde across the face, Naruto flew back a bit from the force of the punch but was quickly grabbed by the collar and hastily pulled forward by Toki.
Suddenly he was up close and personal with the light purple haired male. Face to face, he noticed how Toki was staring deeply into his eyes as if he were searching for something.
"You are different from previous opponents" He stated his eyes never leaving Naruto's.
Naruto's eyes widened in shock and fear when he looked into his red blood shot eyes, suddenly his felt pain on his stomach. He looked down slowly to notice Toki's hand was in his stomach. "Hurts don't it? The pain in you're eyes tell it all..." He pushed his hand further into Naruto's stomach, watching him as he screamed out in pain. He then quickly pulled out his hand, pulling out his sword and slashed Naruto across his chest with his sword a few times.
Toki watched as blood poured out his stomach, the blood was slowly exciting him. The sight of it. The smell of it...it was slowly taking over him, as his eyes grew wide.
The blonde stumbled back with step Toki took forward, he never encountered someone like him before, someone who showed no emotion in they're face, someone who holds a killing intent in their eyes...this is new to him. With Toki's hold on his collar he could barely get out his grasp, it was just too strong of a hold. He could tell by the look in Toki's eyes that he wasn't letting go of him anytime soon.
Takeshi and Nagi turned they're heads when they heard the painful scream came from Naruto. Takeshi narrowed at Toki; he could tell that he was beginning to lose himself within the fight especially at the sight of blood. The red head was pulled out of his thoughts when he was punched in the jaw.
"You're opponent is standing here, so you're focus should be solely on me and me only...if you don't want to get killed. Isn't that what you were just telling me only moments ago?" Nagi smirked cockily.
"Niisan!" Hinata called out.
Takeshi looked over at Hinata and smirked while wiping the blood from his mouth. "Heh, don't worry I'm fine imooto. I was just caught off guard but that..." He paused looking over at Nagi, his pure black eyes peering at him. "Will be the last time that happens. I'll be damned if I let you two little kids win again us" He yelled loudly as he charged towards Nagi, tackling him forward until a black hole rimmed with red was seen behind Nagi, as the two suddenly disappeared into the hole.
"Nagi!" Naruto yelled out for his friend once he realized he was gone. "Where did he take him?"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes in thought as he parted his lips. "It's an attack he uses as his final attack choice when he is fighting against someone weaker than him. Think of it as an illusion...but you feel the real pain, much like what my brother's Sharingan can do"
"My brother won't hurt him too much; we aren't on a mission so to him this is just some fun moment. But when it comes to Sasuke and ugly girl he won't back down so quickly. You might as well just give up; Toki is on the verge of his killing intent while your little friend is being tortured right now as we speak"
Naruto looked over at Sasuke and then Hinata, he knew that if he gave up right now that chances are he won't see Sasuke and Hinata for another few years. But fighting Toki proved to him that he needed to train to become stronger, his blue eyes gazed away from Sasuke's. "Like I said before, I'm not giving up" He explained with a weak smirk.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata thought to herself.
Toki finally let go of Naruto pushing him back. "I'm bored with this one" He stated, turning his back on the blonde walking back to his now shocked group.
The blonde frowned not liking being tossed to the side in a fight like he didn't matter. "Oi! Don't turn your back on me" He growled while running towards Toki.
The bloodlust male stopped in his tracks with his back turn facing the blonde but he turned his head, his eyes narrowed as he shot Naruto a cold harsh glare. "I said I'm bored" He stated again, as his chakra pulsed as his eyes widened and suddenly Naruto thrown back a few yards.
"Toki-kun..." Hinata whispered as she quickly made her way towards him. Once she reached him he looked down at her, placing his hand on her cheek caressing it softly.
"Did I worry you?"
She nodded her head, looking behind him she noticed Naruto struggling to stand up but failed each time. Her white eyes gazed back up at him, watching as he gave a curt nod of approval she left his side to go to Naruto's aid.
"Naruto-kun, raise you shirt"
The blonde blush slightly but nodded his head lifting up his shirt exposing the gashes on his stomach. He hissed his pain; his blue eyes gazed up at Toki glaring harshly at him. "Hinata is that guy really your boyfriend?" He asked lowly.
"H-Hai, you sound ano surprised..."
"It's not that well a part of it is but...that guy is dangerous"
Hinata shook her head as she began using medical jutsu to heal his stomach. "Toki-kun isn't like that with me, he wouldn't hurt me. Yes, it's true that he is a bit unstable but he really is a sweet guy" She smiled softly at the thought of him.
"Hinata I want to say I'm sorry about hurting you...that day" He whispered to her, his eyes saddening. She was taken back by his apology, but before she could get a word in about it he spoke again. "I really love you a lot Hinata-chan, not a day had past where I didn't think about you. You were constantly on my mind, not only mine but Kiba and Shino. Those two talked about you everyday mainly Kiba, heh" He chuckled thinking about the dog loving male.
The female Hyuga was trying her hardest not to cry at the mere mention of her two close friends. Sasuke noticed this and walked towards the two glaring down at the blonde. "Oi"
Naruto looked up at Sasuke frowning slightly. "What?"
"Go back to Konoha"
"I'm not leaving! I come all this way here just to-"
"Leave! Hinata and I will be coming back soon...I promise" He stated with a serious expression but a smirk made its way to his face. Once Naruto seen this he smiled sadly before nodding his head.
"Promise?"
"Yeah...didn't I just say that you dolt" He frowned in frustration. Hinata looked at the two and smiled as she finished healing the blonde but then her eyes widened in realization.
"Takeshi-niisan!" She said quickly.
"That's right, what did he do with Nagi?!" Naruto shouted out as he quickly stood up looking around.
Suki also looked around with a curious look on his face. Toki on the hand other wasn't thinking about the red head or the one they continued to call Nagi. His eyes glared harshly at Naruto, he didn't care if he seemed jealous or too over protective, he just wanted the blonde to leave. He wanted nothing more but to kill him…in a slow and painful death.
"Ha-ha! How do you like this, eh?" Takeshi grinned widely and he grabbed Nagi by his arm twisting it back until a loud crack noise was heard.
"AHHHHH!" Nagi yelled out in pain. He used his other free arm and pushed Takeshi away from him, stumbling back he held arm hissing in pain. He looked over up at Takeshi, who was staring down at him with a grin on his face.
"Heh, don't like love the feel of that pain, it feels good doesn't it?" He chuckled more to himself than at the situation.
"Where are we?" The white haired male asked while gazing around at his surroundings. It was nothing but darkness that surrounded them, but he could see Nagi clearly despite the darkness.
"This is my world, do you love it? It's my torture world, I bring my opponents here…my weaker opponents"
"Weak? I'm not where near weak as you think I am" Nagi stated defensively.
"Hm, so you say but you see someone like you is weak in my eyes. You know, I could kill you this very moment if I wanted to but I'm only holding back for the sake of my dear little sister"
"How is she you're sister? I have heard about Hyuga Hinata and I can tell just by you're appearance that you aren't really related to her"
Takeshi sighed as he took a step closer towards Nagi as he parted his lips. "Of course she isn't my real sister. But I look after her like my own sister…if you must know I once had a sister but she was killed by someone" He stated as the anger was clearly seen on as he mentioned this. "When I first met Hinata to be honest I was attracted to her for those first five minutes but the more I watched her the more I realized she reminded me so much like my deceased sister. She was clingy with Sasuke I noticed but she began talking to me and then we began to become close friends"
"So do you love her" Nagi asked, after noticing few guys seemed to be attracted to her he couldn't help but to ask.
"Yes of course but not in the way you're thinking. I love her as a sister, and yes a few guys are attracted to her" He exclaimed with a smirk. He noticed the shocked look on Nagi's face. "Like I said this is my world and in my world I can do anything I want, to even reading your mind"
"Tch."
"I'm bored now…I think I we should head back now" He stated as his eyes changed back to its normal color.
"What is this, some kind of game to you? First you're all serious and now you want just quit?" Nagi snorted while becoming frustrated with him.
Takeshi shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say, I get bored quickly with people are weaker than me. I need a challenge and you aren't cutting it" His eyes gazed over at Nagi wearing a smirk on his face. "No need to be angry about it, I'm actually doing you favor" The red haired male then brought his hand up and snapped his fingers, once he snapped his fingers the illusion that they were in had now disappeared. Nagi looked around noticing that they were still standing in the same area where the others were.
"Nagi!" Naruto called out to the white haired male. Nagi turned his head to see the blonde covered in blood but he appeared like nothing was wrong or out of order. His eyes then glanced over at Toki, noticing how the light purple haired male was glaring harshly at Naruto.
"Are you okay?" The blonde asked Nagi as he quickly made his way towards him.
"Yeah, I'm fine all beside my damn broken arm" He snapped as he sent a heated glare to Takeshi who shrugged his shoulders while smiling.
"What can I say, I had to break something of yours" He grinned turning his head looking over at Naruto and then Toki. "You didn't take things too far, you behaved well today Toki" He stated giving him a nod.
"I hope you had your talk with Hinata and Sasuke because we're heading back now" Takeshi stated while walking over towards Sasuke and Hinata placing arms around both Uchiha and Hyuga's shoulder. Sasuke looked mildly irritated by this and tried removing his arm but the shorter red head proved to be stronger.
Naruto honestly didn't want to leave, after two years he finally found not only Hinata but Sasuke as well. He narrowed his in sadness, parting his lips to speak but before he could even get a word out Nagi beat him to it.
"We wasted time coming all this way in hopes of finding that girl! And we're here and we aren't going anywhere" Nagi shouted at Takeshi.
Toki's eyes then glanced away from Naruto and then looked Nagi. "No one is taking Hinata away. I said this earlier and don't make me repeat it a third time" He stated as his blood shot eyes stared at Nagi.
"Tch, listen here fucker I can tell your obsessed with girlfriend but she belongs in Konoha not with some bad guy and his loonies. And as for that Uchiha over there, he also belongs in Konoha" Nagi then sent Sasuke a harsh glare which lead the Uchiha male to arch his eyebrow at him.
Toki wanted to say something to Nagi but refrain from going so when he noticed Takeshi shaking his head indicating not to say anything.
"Do you know how sick and tired I am hearing my girlfriend talk about you and cry over you? She misses you so much, she confessed her love for you and you up and leave without a single care in the world"
"What the hell? Who is your girlfriend…?" He asked with curiosity lacing his tone.
"Haruno Sakura, the most beautiful girl in Konoha of course" He stated with a cocky smirk on his face.
Suki frowned while placing hands on her hips. "Who is this Sakura person?" She asked clearly jealous at hearing the fact someone else loves Sasuke in his home village.
"Sakura is my girlfriend" He stated.
Sasuke as slightly taken back finding out Sakura the same girl who chased after him all those years has a boyfriend now. He looked at Nagi more closely noticing that he does resemble him a lot besides the white hair of course. "I wonder is she only dating him because he looks like me." The Uchiha asked while looking at Nagi.
"I'm not going back to Konoha until I'm finished with what I have to do" He replied as he removed Takeshi's arm from around him. "You and Naruto both had you're chance and you both obviously lost to Toki and Takeshi. Just go back to Konoha and don't tell anyone about where Hinata and I are located, if you do you'll regret it" He sneered while glaring at both Naruto and Nagi.
"Why this dumb-"
Naruto placed his hand on Nagi's shoulder shaking his hand. "Don't worry about it, he said he'll come back and I trust in his word" Naruto said while gazing over at Sasuke with a knowing smirk. The white haired male looked back and fourth from Naruto and Sasuke, he had known the two were good friends but seemed to have a complex against each other.
"Gah" He winced in pain while holding onto his arm.
"Is it you're arm?" Naruto asked in concern.
"Of course! Can't you see it's out of place, dumb ass" He yelled out loudly at the blonde.
"Geez, this is so annoying to watch" Suki sighed out in frustration as she walked over towards the white haired male who arched his eyebrow up at her. The black haired girl grabbed his arm gently holding onto it for a few seconds before letting go.
Nagi looked down at his arm noticing that it was no longer dislocated and no longer in pain. "H-How did you do that?" He asked while moving his now healed arm around.
"I can heal anyone with just a single touch if I charge a little of my chakra into them" She explained. "Now that all of this if finish with can we please head back" She asked in a bored tone as she looked over at Takeshi. Despite the fact she and Sasuke constantly tease him about his height she considered the male to be a leader and looked up to him just like Toki looked up to him even though she wouldn't dare openly admit that to him or anyone else.
Takeshi sighed removing his arm away from Hinata placing both of his hands behind his head while closing his eyes. "We should be going now, ne Hiei?" His purple eyes opened gazing over at his brother.
"Yeah, I'm bored just standing here" He yawned. Toki glanced over at Naruto as he then turned his back walking away.
"Oi, where are you going?" Takeshi called out to him.
"Back towards the town, if I stay here any long I'm going to kill that blonde" He stated honestly causing everyone to stare at him with widened eyes. Toki turned his head looking over at Hinata, staring at her for a few seconds before turning back around and walking away.
"Tch, that guy, Hiei and Suki go with him. He is in a bad mood right now and I don't trust him being alone right now" He explained.
Suki was terrified of Toki and didn't want to be anywhere near him but seeing how Hiei was going to be there she didn't mind it as much. But much like her Hiei was frightened of the male just as much as she is.
"Gah this is going to be awkward" The black haired male thought to himself as he stuffed his hands into his pockets walking into the direction Toki left as Suki soon followed.
Naruto and Nagi watched them walk away until they could no longer see them anymore. "So I guess this is a goodbye, huh?" He asked while smiling sadly at Hinata and Sasuke.
"Not a goodbye think of it as a see you later" Takeshi interrupted with a smirk.
Naruto nodded his head with a grin. "Right, so um-"
"Naruto-kun, please inform Kiba-kun and Shino-kun that I'm okay" Hinata said quickly with a pleading look covering her face.
Nagi looked at her for a few seconds and parted his lips. "We'll be sure to tell them, but once they know we all know Kiba is bound to come looking for you. That guy is basically-"He paused looking over at the short red headed shirtless male. Another brother figure like him, telling him wouldn't be a good idea because he'll blab to the Hokage that he knows where you were last seen. I may not know you all that well but judging by you're expressions that you have made since I have seen you, I can tell you aren't ready to go back to Konoha. And I would say it has something to do with that red head and that boyfriend of yours, ne?" He asked.
Her eyes widened as she blushed slightly, not knowing she was so easy to read. "Ano…"
Nagi sighed looking over at Naruto. "Let's just go and pretend as if we didn't see anything and find anything"
Naruto nodded his head; his blue eyes gazed over at both Sasuke and Hinata. "I'm going to really miss you two" He said sadly with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah, yeah dobe" The raven haired male smirked; while the ex female heiress smile brightly at both Naruto and Nagi, causing the white haired male to blush slightly.
Takeshi shook his head when he noticed the blush on Nagi's cheeks but then his eyes gazed over at Sasuke noticing his expression. He could tell just by his expressions that he would make while looking at Naruto, he parted his lips to speak. "Come on you two let's go" He motioned his hand up for them to hurry.
Sasuke and Hinata nodded they're heads, giving Naruto one more last look before turning around leaving with Takeshi. Once they left the white haired male glared over at the blonde. "I can't believe that we're letting them go like that. You were so determined in bringing them back to Konoha that when I saw you're determination it made me want to help you. So when we finally see them and fight those two idiots and then LOSE, you still want to abide by they're so called dumb rules and leave things at how they wanted it. You're letting Sasuke and Hinata go right back to this so called guy who wants to use Sasuke's body as a container and you're letting Hinata go who could be in possible danger with that crazy boyfriend of hers and being surrounded by killers" He fumed.
Naruto could tell by Nagi's tone that he was mad, well being 'mad' was an understatement. Nagi was clearly pissed and he could see why. He had his reasons for letting Sasuke and Hinata go but he knew that was a stupid choice to do. His blue eyes gazed down at the ground.
"Kami, you're so stupid Naruto. I should just go follow them and bring them back myself"
Naruto glared over at him. "Listen just shut up Nagi! I know what I'm doing, Sasuke promised me that he will come back and I trust him"
The white haired male snorted loudly. "You trust him? That guy practically betrayed the whole village for his own selfish needs. Finally when you see him again after, what um two years and you two barely said anything really to each other. Gah! This is so fucking frustrating; I'm so pissed right now"
Nagi begin pacing back and fourth as his eyebrows began to furrow in thought. He wanted nothing more to just go back and follow Sasuke and Hinata and demand that they come back to Konoha.
"Nagi let's just go back…"
"Whatever" He muttered as he brushed past the blonde in a foul mood.
