Quite the chapter before, how will the 3 Hyuga deal with the situation?

Konoha. Lee, Tenten, Neji and Guy were all up early for some training, however Neji wasn't going full out, rather he was occupied. Lee nailed him in the chest with a strong kick an attack Neji would normally be able to avoid easily.

"Neji why are you not trying as hard as you normally do?" Lee asked his teammate.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Neji responded, he remembered he was told not to tell anyone of the events that occurred.

"Neji you have to talk to us, we're your teammates." Tenten reasoned.

"I told you, I don't want to talk about it!" Neji snapped back.

"Guy-sensei should I talk to him?" Lee asked his sensei, Might Guy.

"No, if Neji has something else on his mind we should let him deal with it." Guy responded.

Team 8 was also up early to train, but Hinata like Neji wasn't in the mood, she had a near-death experience, it was too much for such a normally shy and timid girl like her to handle. Kiba and Shino questioned their teammate.

"Hey Hinata, are you okay, you seem down, more then usual I mean." Kiba asked.

"What's with that scar on your neck?" Shino asked.

"It's nothing." Hinata said almost embarrassed to tell them.

"Is this about Naruto?" Shino asked in suspicion.

At the mention of Naruto, Hinata left the training court, she fiddled with her index fingers and her eyes we half closed, she thought if Naruto knew the events he would only see her as a weak person, someone who can't stand up for herself. Hinata had always wished she had Naruto's courage and boldness, but she had a hard time accomplishing that.

As Hinata walked down the street she bumped into someone. Hinata opened her eyes to see who it was and then she was in total shock.

"Hey, Hinata how's it going?" Naruto asked with his happy voice, he was clearly unaware of the events that occurred last night.

Hinata fainted in shock right into Naruto's arms, had she been conscious and not been in a near-death experience, she probably would have been very happy.

"Hinata, Hinata?!" Naruto said he was quite worried, then again who wouldn't if someone just fainted out of nowhere.

Naruto took Hinata back home to the Hyuga Complex.

About 2 hours later in the Hokage Office the Hokage Tsunade and the jonin Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, Kurenai along with Hiashi Hyuga the leader of the Hyuga and father of Hinata, uncle to Neji. Hiashi brought up that there was a robbery at the Hyuga Complex night 2 days ago and that the Hidden Cloud might be involved.

Kurenai brought up Hinata's behavior.

"Lord Hiashi, your daughter Hinata seems to be depressed about something, is this anything you know of." Kurenai asked the Hyuga leader.

"No, I know nothing that would do that to her." Hiashi said in response.

Hiashi continued "However Naruto Uzumaki did bring Hinata who was unconscious to the Hyuga Mansion the other day, perhaps that might have something to do with it."

Kurenai knew part of it. 'Hinata's feelings for Naruto, is that why?'

Guy added on. "Neji seems to be depressed too, maybe it's a conflict between them."

"Very well I will talk with Hinata and Neji about this, it would seem that Hanabi is quite depressed too." Hiashi states.

Kakashi brings up other news.

"On other things the Akatsuki has been spotted near the Hidden Rain Village, rumors are that another member has just joined up and a powerful one at that."

Since the Hyuga mission, Sidra has been pulling multiple bounties for Kakuzu, the Hidden Rain had heard the rumors from the murder of people nearby the village.

"We shall all look into this." Tsunade spoke while doing her paperwork.

Akatsuki Base.

The Akatsuki members were all busy on their missions, it was the Akatsuki's goal to capture all 9 tailed beasts, currently they had 5 out of the 9.

"Sidra, good job on your first mission." Itachi said bluntly.

"Thank you." Sidra replied adding in a small bow.

'She reminds me of Sasuke, full of revenge and yet keeping it in to seem polite.' Itachi thought to himself seeing the relations.

Sidra was ready for her next mission however she was told to wait until it was time to go on her next mission.

In another room Pain, Konan and Tobi were talking however Tobi didn't seem like the usual happy type he was.

"So Pain how is the new member doing?" Tobi said in a deeper voice he normally spoke in.

"She's fine, I think she will be one member who will last very long." Pain replied.

"Has she said anything about her plans?" Tobi asked.

"Yes, she plans to destroy any Uchiha not in the Akatsuki." Konan informed Tobi.

"Hmm, which means Sasuke Uchiha will be at risk." Tobi said.

"I won't get rid of her, but I need you to keep an eye on her activities." Tobi ordered.

"Understood sir." Pain and Konan said in unison.

Konoha, Neji and Lee were talking.

"Neji you and I need to talk." Lee said to his teammate who was only interesting in walking away.

"No, I can assure you it's nothing." Neji said knowing it was against the Hyuga way to lie.

"Fine then, Neji let's fight, if I win you tell me what this is about." Lee said getting frustrated.

"Fine, I guess I have to if I want you to stop asking." Neji bluntly replied.

Lee and Neji stood facing each other and wind blew across the barren field they stood on, Neji's byakugan became activated as his veins became more thick.

Lee rushed in at Neji.

"Leaf Hurricane!" Lee yelled as he spun and leaves spun around his legs as he jumped at Neji.

"Rotation!" Neji used this attack in counter and it countered Lee's attack perfectly and created a repelling force that sent Lee back, Lee did 3 back flips and landed on his feet using his arms as brakes to stop any further repelling force.

"Just face it Lee, you can't defeat me." Neji said to his teammate, Neji and Lee had many sparring matches and normally Neji won due to his intelligence.

"I will not know if I do not try!" Lee said back.

Lee lunges at Neji with a punch, but Neji dodged it easily, his byakugan's advanced sight allowed him to dodge simple taijutsu easily.

Lee wasn't done, he ran behind Neji and kicked, but Neji once again dodged it.

Neji throws his chakra focused palm at Lee's leg blocking off the Chakra and making Lee slow down much more then his usual speed.

Lee and Neji both threw attacks at each other and they collided head on, Neji's palm caught Lee's fist and then Neji used his other palm to strike Lee in the arm right on the spot.

Lee's arm and leg were out of commission so Neji moved in for the finish.

"Eight-Trigrams Air Palm!" Neji yelled as his palm made contact and sent Lee flying into the air and then Lee fell on the ground unable to move.

"Sorry Lee." Neji said before walking away.

In the Hyuga complex. Hinata was getting treatment for her wounds from the previous events and Naruto watched her get up from the unconscious state she had.

"Naruto?, what are you doing here?" Hinata said, she was timid with anyone in her room, but Naruto it almost was over the line.

"You just fainted out of nowhere, I brought you here." Naruto explained.

"Thank you." Hinata said.

'Should I tell him, but that Akatsuki member threatened not to, but it's Naruto.' Hinata thought to herself.

"Naruto can I tell you something." Hinata said shyly.

"Sure you can tell me anything Hinata."

"Well a few days ago, some Akatsuki members came into the Hyuga complex, me and Neji were just training, but they attacked us."

"What?!, the Akatsuki!" Naruto said in shock.

"Yes."

FLASHBACK

Sidra jumps high into the sky and spins landing on Hinata's back making her cough up blood, the attack crushed both Hinata's back and her confidence. Cut to the scene, Sidra holds a kunai to Hinata's neck and slices in slightly, this only wrecked her spirit further.

FLASHBACK ENDS

"No way, that happened?"

"Naruto, I was weak, I could never fight ask well as you or brother Neji could, I should be dead now if it weren't for some luck." Hinata often felt she could do better than just being shy and timid.

"Hinata don't say that about yourself you're a great ninja, it was your first encounter with the Akatsuki there's nothing wrong with some trouble at first." Naruto said trying to make Hinata feel better.

"Thank you Naruto, but I really am a coward." Hinata knew what she did and she lost a lot of courage from it.

"Hinata..." Naruto said sad about his friend being so depressed.

Naruto hugged Hinata like he would do to his parents who were never there for him, Hinata embraced it and enjoyed all of the time she had with him.

"Hinata, I swear I will get them back for this!" Naruto had courage to stand up to Sidra.

"Okay Naruto, I will come with you, we will do this together!" Hinata felt like with Naruto's support she could stand again.

"We'll never give up that's our nindo, our ninja way!" Naruto said with the confidence and spirit he always had.

"Wait a minute, I have to go tell grandma Tsunade about the Akatsuki!"

"No." "One of them, a girl about our age said we can't tell anyone, they might come back if we do."

"Oh, okay I understand." Naruto was very understanding.

"By the way who was this girl?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know her name, she was about our age, black hair, red eyes, she actually kinda looked like Sasuke."

"Sasuke?, red eyes, an Uchiha, but that's impossible."

How about that, now Naruto against Sidra, she sure is popular among them. Also what about NaruHina, what's going down with them?
