"Speaking"
'Thinking'
AN: It's been awhile hasn't it? Sorry for the long wait but I was in Spain for three weeks and then I was really busy with my family at home. Also some good news! My cousin got a new boyfriend who works at a talent agency and he's interested in some of my work. He's gonna talk to some of the people he works with and if they like my stuff I'll have a movie coming out based on this story. Obviously I'll have to re-plug in my original character designs because these belong to Kishimmoto but the storyline should be pretty much the same. So wish me luck!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, so many tears!
Chapter 5
Despite the serious nature of the meeting that was taking place two men were crying on the inside. On their way to the base Naruto and Hinata crashed into Kakashi while speeding around a corner.
Flashback:
"Naruto I think we can slow down a bit. It's not like we're in a hurry or anything." said Hinata
"Yeah but I'm itching to introduce our friend in the trunk to my Mom. She'll love to hear about how he tried to kill us earlier. Besides baby I can handle the speed, trust Naruto." He finished with a foxy grin and tilt of his sunglasses.
Naruto swerved through a few slow moving cars and entered an open stretch of rode. He turned his head and locked eyes with Hinata. As they stared, he gradually upped the speed of his car until they were almost being pushed back into the seats. Hinata smiled and shook her head.
"You should watch the rode." She said, breaking eye contact.
"Why when what I'm looking at is so much more interesting?" he answered
"Your turn's coming up."
"I know." He slowed down and turned the corner right into Kakashi's silver Carerra. Two resounding yells of "Fuuuuuuuck!" broke the calm of the late night. Kakashi got out of his car and inspected the damage. He noticed a pale arm hanging from where his trunk had popped open from the collision and quickly shoved it back in before slamming the trunk down.
"You did the stare and drive thing didn't you?" he shouted. Naruto simply smiled and rubbed the back of his head.
"Should've let me drive!" said Hinata in a singsong voice.
End Flashback
"Tsunade what has Anko found out from our visitor?" asked Kakashi
"He was too scared to talk for most of her interrogation but we've found out a good deal so far. He and his friends that attacked all of us tonight work for Senator Orochimaru. You remember Kabuto Yakushi right?" Everyone nodded. "Well he was Orochimaru's business partner. Seems that he's royally pissed 'cause we killed him. Now he wants our heads. The message said that Jiraiya and I had time to leave town but I doubt we would make it past the border." Tsunade paused to read the looks on everyone's faces. Naruto and Sasuke looked enraged that their family was being threatened, and Hinata and Kakashi were blank slates of emotionless calculation. "Let's go see what else we can get out of our friend. Iruka could you put these two with the other one? Thanks"
Everyone but Iruka went upstairs and formed a semi circle around Anko and her captive. He was sweaty, bloody and completely terrified, which was made obvious by his rapidly shifting bugged out eyes and shaking.
"Good work Anko" said Tsunade
"No problem boss. It was fun, wasn't it buddy?" She replied with an evil smile as she grasped her captives' shoulder and gave it a painful squeeze. He cringed and whimpered behind his ball gag (AN: thanks to HaloChris for the name!).
Kakashi squatted down, resting on the balls of his feet and took the gag off allowing the man to flex his jaw. "Tell me who Orochimaru is sending."
"I've already told you too much. If he finds out, I'm dead."
"You're dead if you don't tell us who he's sending." Sasuke said darkly.
"Tell us or we'll give you back over to Anko again and we won't come back till sunrise. Are you sure you can survive all night with her? 'Cause you look like shit right now." Said Kakashi calmly as he took a drag from his cigarette.
Kidomaru shivered again at the thought of what she might do to him. "…His name is Kimmimaro. I've never met him but I heard his voice once. It sent shivers down my back. He's the Senator's most ruthless assassin. He's cold, heartless and merciless. None of his targets have ever gotten away. That's all I can tell you."
"Thank you. Hinata go ahead."
"With pleasure." In less than a second Hinata had her gun out, cocked and aimed. Before anyone could raise his or her voice Kidomaru's suffering was ended.
Tsunade sighed, 'Another body to get rid of.' "Alright, Kakashi I need you and Jiraiya to get Iruka and boost security around here. I have a feeling all hell's about to break loose. Hinata you can just head up to your room. Naruto, Sasuke, we need to talk in my office when Shizune is done with Sakura."

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura sat in tense silence as they waited for Tsunade to start their meeting. Sakura now sported several bandages and a borrowed outfit from Kurenai while her clothes were being washed. Unfortunately for her the only outfit that fit her small bust size was a schoolgirl one complete with thigh high tights.
"Thank you for all the help Shizune" said Tsunade
"It's no problem Tsunade really" she replied with a sweet smile as she packed her medical supplies up. "It was good to see everyone again. I see your boys have really grown up as well. Sure you don't want me to take a look at you Naruto? Looks like you might have a few bruises in the morning."
"Nah I'm fine," said Naruto
"You should come back and work here again." Said Tsunade. "I know I paid you more than that hospital does now. Plus you'd have better insurance if you get what I mean."
"Tsunade I'm happy where I am. I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do. How about I just visit more often?"
"Fine. Thanks again. Bye!" Tsunade waved from her window before turning around and fixing the three young people sitting before her with a hard stare. "Well boys I knew I was going to have to say this eventually but I had hopped it wouldn't be for awhile longer. Maybe when you were older and more prepared."
"Mom just get on with the damn thing! I wanna know what we're up against." Said Naruto impatiently.
Tsunade sat down and held her head in one of her hands. "Have you two ever wondered who the boy with the dark hair is? The one in the picture with my Dad?"
Both Sasuke and Naruto nodded. "I assumed he was your brother. I didn't ask about him though 'cause I guessed he probably died." Said Sasuke
"Well you're close but not quite. My Dad, Sarutobi, did the very same thing for me that I did for you two. Jiraiya, that boy, and I were all adopted. You could say it's become somewhat of a tradition. But anyway can you guess what his name is?" She smiled sadly as shock and rage entered her sons' faces. "Yeah that's Orochimaru when we were all eighteen. He looks a lot different now doesn't he? My poor brother has gone under the knife so many times that he looks more like Michael Jackson than himself."
"Why'd you guys grow apart?" Sakura finally entered the conversation with a serious look on her face. Sasuke and Naruto reined their emotions back and fixed their mother with the very same serious look.
Tsunade hated seeing them look so glum and cursed her brother for being so much trouble. "The old man got sick and decided to retire. Jiraiya was always out with the team and I was still in the height of my boxing career so we weren't home a lot. Little Orochi got stuck with running the business. He was never happy with his position. He felt that if we were going to work on the other side of the law that we should try and rule everyone instead of the balance of power we have right now. We didn't agree with him so he started to feel like we were holding him back. One day he finally snapped. He killed our Dad and left town. The next time I saw him was on the TV running for office."
"So because you wouldn't help him take over the city he wants to kill you?" asked Sasuke as he massaged his temples.
"That's right"
"How strapped is he? I mean what does he have at his disposal? Is there any possibility that we can get rid of him?" asked Naruto as he ran his hands through his hair and slumped into his chair.
"I honestly have no idea. The four we just killed weren't very strong. They probably worked better as a group. If this Kimmimaro guy is as strong as Anko's plaything said then we might have some trouble. Plus that was only one henchman. He could have more than just that up his sleeve so Sasuke I need you to get that mission over with ASAP, Naruto and Sakura prepare for a long ass fight." She dismissed them with the turn of her chair.
In the hallway just outside of Tsunade's office the youngest members of Team 7 had a meeting. Each one had a serious and pondering expression on his or her face; trying to figure out the best way to prepare.
"Alright, Sasuke you obviously need to make that hit tonight can you do that?" asked Naruto
"Yeah I have it all planned anyway it should be pretty easy." Replied Sasuke
"Ok and Sakura I need you to go help Kakashi and my Dad with the security around here. Stay here for the night we don't know what could be waiting at your apartment and we don't need you getting hurt again." Said Naruto
"Ok but what are you going to do?" asked Sakura
"I need to check on Hinata she looked like something was bothering her earlier and I need to make sure she's ok from that crash earlier." Naruto waved as he walked away and turned up the stairs.
"Well this is new" mused Sasuke. "They've only had one date and she's already got him whipped."
"Don't act like you're any better Sasuke. Ino had you whipped before you guys even went out." Said Sakura
"That's not true!" Sasuke huffed.
"Denial, denial, denial, denial" Sakura chimed
"I have to go kill someone" Sasuke growled as he stalked upstairs to his room while Sakura laughed her ass off at his retreating form.
"Sakura where the hell is my fucking ammonium nitrate?" yelled Sasuke
"How the hell should I know you dumbass?" Sakura huffed and stomped up the stairs to help him search for his precious chemical.

Naruto sighed as he heard his teammates argue downstairs. He didn't understand why they had to be so loud and he didn't really feel like getting in the middle trying to break it up. He wondered if Hinata was any good at massage; he was tense as hell. As he reached his room he was greeted with the sight of Hinata sitting on his floor cleaning her precious silver pistol. Her knee-high boots lay forgotten on the floor next to her jacket and purse. He crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway grinning. 'She picks locks, she can handle a gun, she's an awesome driver and she's gorgeous. She's perfect' he thought.
"Now how did you get in here?" he asked, slightly startling Hinata. She turned around and smiled.
"Your door was wide open." She giggled as his face fell and he slapped his forehead.
"Yeah I need to remember to lock it more often….Are you okay? You seemed like something was troubling you earlier when we were interrogating Kidomaru." Naruto walked over and sat down on the edge of his bed facing Hinata's back.
"…Scarecrow hasn't told you has he?" The smile fell from Hinata's face. She put her gun down and turned to face Naruto.
"Told me what?"
"Why I came here and how I know him."
"No. Care to share? It might make you feel better."
"You sure? It's a long story." A small smile returned to Hinata's face
"Yeah I think I've got time." Naruto smiled as well.
Silently Kakashi stood next to the door listening to their conversation. 'So Naruto what will you do when you find out who she really is? She's got a lot of baggage kid. Can you carry it all?' He took a drag from his cancer-stick and decided to stick around for a little and step in if anything happened.
"Well let's start with my real name then." Hinata noted the confused look on Naruto's face. "Hi I'm Hinata, Hinata Hyuga" Hinata stuck her hand out for a handshake and received the end of a gun.
"So we've had a spy amongst us the whole time. How did you manage to get past all of Mom's background checks?" Naruto was furious now. This whole time he had been falling in love with a spy.
"I'm not a spy Naruto now put your gun down and listen." Hinata hissed
"How can I trust you?" he growled while pressing the gun into her hand harder
"You can't but you can trust me can't you?" Hinata and Naruto turned their heads and saw Kakashi leaning against the door with his hands in his pockets. "She's not a spy Naruto. Your mother knows she's a Hyuga and so do Iruka and Jiraiya." Naruto looked a little more relieved and lowered his gun. "You too Hinata." Naruto turned his head and saw Hinata put a pocketknife back in a black garter hidden under her dress. "She's not just any Hyuga though Naruto. She's the heiress. The one they've been trying to find for seven years."
"This is all true isn't it?" Naruto asked Hinata who just nodded.
"I think Hinata's got it from here. Listen carefully Naruto 'cause it's a lot of information. I'll be downstairs at the bar if you need me." Kakashi stood up straight and walked away.
"Why did you leave all of that. I've seen the Hyuga Estate. It's fucking huge. You could be in the lap of luxury why are you here working for my Mom?" asked Naruto
"Orochimaru tried to force my Dad to sell drugs for him but my Dad always prided himself on staying on the better side of the underground. He made sure that Orochimaru understood by having some guards pour it all in his pool. As you can guess the senator wasn't too happy about that. He sent those four to our house and they captured my Dad and me. They tortured him in front of me until they killed him."
"Where was Kakashi in all of this? He says you're like his daughter. I don't understand how you guys met." Naruto rubbed his temples trying to stop the headache he was getting from all of this new information.
"Kakashi came in after those four left, untied me and drove me to his house. For most of my life Kakashi always took care of me. When my Dad was gone on business or my parents were arguing he would keep me company and make sure it never got to me. I even came up with the name Scarecrow for him. When I was eleven my Dad found out that he was a spy for Tsunade and tried to have him killed. The other bodyguards couldn't bring themselves to do it though so they just dumped him in Old Town where Tsunade would find him."
"Why are you working for my Mom? Why not work somewhere else?"
"It's easier for Scarecrow to keep an eye on me here. There was also more of a chance I'd run into my targets if I was here."
"So you've killed your targets, what now?"
"I'm not done yet. I still need to get to Orochimaru. He ordered for all of this to happen and my Dad won't be properly avenged until he's dead." Hinata picked her gun up again and began shinning it. Naruto eyed her moving hands with peaked interest.
"I see well it's quite late and I'm very tired. I'm gonna need to sleep on all of this info." He stood up and went to a dresser. "Um I was gonna get undressed and go to bed so…"
"Oh don't mind me. Do what you need to do." Hinata went back to cleaning her gun. Naruto closed the drawer he had opened and smirked. He crept over to her and got down on his knees putting their faces only an inch from each other. Hinata stopped cleaning and met his gaze. "Careful, I bite." she whispered.
Naruto chuckled, "What makes you think I mind?" Hinata smiled and Naruto caught her lips in a passionate kiss. His arms slid around her wait and pulled her up onto her knees as well while she put her hands on his cheeks.

In a lavish office of the top level of a research building in the new part of town sat a middle aged, red headed man. His name was Sasori and he was a plastic surgeon and medical researcher. Everyday Sasori sits in his office planning out procedures to make people "perfect" and every week he makes those peoples' dreams of perfection a reality. Ever since he was a little boy he felt that his calling was to make people beautiful as he had done for himself. Sasori's extraordinary new procedures had all been tested on himself and because of this not a single wrinkle ever entered his face, his eyes never sagged and his hair never grew grey. Despite his age of almost forty-five he looked no older than twenty-five. Tonight however that would all change with the meeting of one Sasuke Uchiha.
A knock reverberated in the quiet office. "Come in!" called Sasori. A young man with raven colored hair and onyx eyes entered the room. "May I help you?"
"Yes I'm Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha. I have an appointment." Said the young man with a small smile. (AN: Yeah nighttime is an odd time to have an appointment but I figured sine he has such important clients he would have longer office hours for better availability.)
"Ah Sasuke welcome. I must admit that I had thought you were not coming. You are ten minutes late after all" said Sasori after shaking Sasuke's hand and checking his watch.
Sasuke chuckled awkwardly at this. "I'm sorry but I didn't think ten minutes would be much of a difference."
"Well Sasuke time waits for no man. Most of my patients understand that. I am a busy man and I hope at our next appointment you will remember that. Now what was it you had in mind for your surgery. Surely a young man such as yourself couldn't be looking for a facelift. You're obviously in good shape so it's not liposuction."
"Well doctor I'm not sure if you know this or not but my family has some bad history to it. You may remember from the news that my brother set off an explosion in our estate and killed our whole family. I'm afraid to say that he has threatened my life recently and I need to leave town. I want a brand new face. Something elegant but still masculine."
"Well Sasuke you have come to the right place." Sasori brought out a few charts from his desk and laid them out. "Have you seen the new changes to Senator Orochimaru's face? It's probably my best work yet." Sasuke tensed at the senator's name and nodded but Sasori didn't notice. "We can simply start with a basic rhinoplasty and-" He felt cool metal on his neck. "What is this?"
"Dr. Sasori my employer has deemed you a serious aggravation and has ordered your termination. But first I have some questions."
"W-what d-do you w-want to know?" Sasori was scared now. He had never been hurt his entire life let alone in any life-threatening situations.
"Where are you shipping all of that poison and anesthesia to?"
'Shit!' thought Sasori who was now trembling. "I-it's j-just medical waste. I-it's just being dumped somewhere. I don't know where!"
Sasuke turned him around and punched him in the face. "Tell the truth! Who are you working for?" he shouted.
"W-w-what d-do y-you m-m-mean?" cried Sasori. He could feel that his perfectly botoxed lips had been split and he was now terrified for his life.
Sasuke got real close to his face and glared. "Why is it whenever some do-gooder or the wife of a mayor that opposes the senator comes in they end up in a body bag from supposed anesthesia overdose?"
"Alright, alright. Because I did such a good job on Senator Orochimaru's face work he decided to keep me under his thumb. He's been paying me for poisons for personal use and whenever one of his enemy's comes in for work I'm supposed to get rid of them by overdosing them. Please, please don't kill me!"
"Sorry no can do." Sasuke lifted the shaking man into his chair and pulled a roll of duck tape from his pocket. After securing the crying surgeon down and setting the timer on the bombs attached he went outside to deal with the receptionist. Seeing no one he tensed and scanned his surroundings. From an open window he heard sirens and cars pulling up. 'Shit!' he shouted in his head as he headed for the emergency stairwell. However behind the door was not the escape root he hoped for. He was met with the sight of a deathly pale man with equally pale hair pulling an ivory handled knife from the back of the receptionist. Everything from his suit to his ivory cufflinks were pure snow white making him look like the angel of death.
"This was not a wise move Uchiha." The man's voice sent a chill down Sasuke's back from its lack of emotion.
"Kimmimaro" he whispered.
"The senator is not pleased with your groups' interference with his business ventures. I'm afraid that as his loyal servant I have no choice but to kill you." Before he could react Sasuke was on his ass against the back wall with a broken nose. He looked up to see the pale man walking towards him with a perfectly blank expression. Sasuke looked around for any means of escape and saw his last hope; his detonator and gun lay only a few feet behind Kimmimaro.
Sasuke got up, wiped the blood from his nose and rushed at Kimmimaro with a barrage of punches and kicks. Sasuke had hoped to push his opponent back by landing a few good hits but it seemed the other way around. The deathly pale man was anything besides sickly. He either dodged Sasuke's punches and kicks or knocked them away with seemingly the flick of his hand. In the end Sasuke ended up panting and slightly dizzy from blood loss while Kimmimaro was unharmed. Kimmimaro delivered a swift kick to Sasuke's jaw and knocked him to the ground once again.
"My, my you are so unlike your brother" toned Kimmimaro as he stood over Sasuke's panting form.
"How do you know Itachi?" spat Sasuke
"Don't you know? Everyone works for the Senator even the mighty Akatsuki. I myself have taken on your infamous sibling and lost. He was strong and that sharingan contraption of his is really something." Sasuke tried to get up but was quickly pushed back down by Kimmimaro's foot. "If you cannot beat me how can you hope to avenge your family?" Sasuke tried to get up once more but ended up groaning on the ground when Kimmimaro stomped his foot hard on his chest. "You have a fighting spirit and that is something I rarely see in my victims. Today I shall defy my master's wishes and give you a chance to live. I believe with some work you could pose a good challenge." He pulled a gun from a pocket inside his suit jacket. He shot Sasuke in the arm and abdomen. Kimmimaro bent down and whispered in Sasuke's ear, "Itachi and his partner Kisame are going to your headquarters tonight. If you can get there and save your family before they get to them you will have proved me right." He got up and grabbed Sasuke's fallen detonator. He entered an elevator and spoke once more before the door closed, "Don't disappoint me Sasuke or I will come swiftly to you with no mercy."
Sasuke could only stare at the closed elevator door in shock. The pain from his bruised ribs and bullet wounds combined with the blood loss made his head fuzzy and he could hardly contemplate the fact that the beeping of the timer's had started. As the room started to spin a loud scream of terror brought him back and he focused on willing his battered body towards the elevators. Once inside one, after stopping to get his gun, he willed it to go faster. 'I have to get there! I won't let him take away this family too!' "Come on! Come on! Yes!" The door opened to reveal the deserted lobby. The police cars had for some lucky reason driven away leaving Sasuke a clean get away. He groaned while pulling himself up from the elevator floor and staggered out of the building before the top level exploded sending glass everywhere. He hailed a cab and got in the back. "Take me to Tsunade's Glass Menagerie in Old Town" he said.
"Whoa buddy have you looked at yourself recently. The only place I'm taking you is a hospital!" said the cabby
Sasuke pressed his gun to the back of the man's head for extra incentive. "Look I don't have a whole lot of time! So take me there damnit and make it fast before you get a bullet in your fucking head!"
"Alright! Alright!" The cabby sped off nearly causing a car crash in the process. Sasuke sighed and slumped back into the seat checking his bullet wounds and testing out the tenderness of his ribs.
'This is gonna be a long night'

Naruto's eyes shot open as he awoke in a cold sweat. He sat up and shook his head before getting out of bed and going to the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water and looked at himself in the mirror. In it he saw his friends faces flash.
"Naruto?"
He turned around to see Hinata sitting up with the covers wrapped around her. He smiled and walked back over to the bed. "Sorry did I wake you up?"
"It's ok, is something wrong?" He saw the concern shinning in her pale eyes.
"You know you never told me how you got your eyes that color."
"Don't try to change the subject that way. Now tell me what's wrong." Hinata folded her arms and fixed him with a hard stare.
Naruto sighed seeing he wouldn't get out of this easily. "I often get these dreams where they talk to me. It always ends up with a replay of their death or an image of how they probably died." Seeing Hinata was confused he pointed to a sun shaped tattoo on the right side of his ribcage. In the middle of the sun Thank You was written and each ray was a person's name.
"Who are all of these people?" Hinata traced her finger over them and called them out. "Kiba 'Mutt' Inuzuka and Akamaru?"
"They were all on my team. The second generation of Team 7. They're all dead. Kiba was a tracking specialist and Akamaru was his dog and best friend in the world. They were on a stake out and they got captured. The sick fucks thought it would be funny to toy around with Akamaru before they killed him and it drove Kiba insane. He tried to take them all on at once and ended up dead."
"Shino 'Bugsy' Aburame?"
"Shino was kind of a jack of all trades. He was smart and really quiet so he made a good spy. He developed these tiny cameras and microphones that were shaped liked beetles and that's where he got the name Bugsy. He was a good sharp shooter, could handle heavier artillery and knives. He sacrificed himself so we could all get out before Sasuke blew up the building."
"Rock 'Green Beast' Lee?" Hinata giggled a little at that.
"Oh Lee was a hoot! He was all hand-to-hand combat. Any martial arts you could think of he was expert at it. His Dad was in the original team and before he passed they would always run around shouting about the springtime of youth and the flames of youth. God I wanted to kill him myself sometimes. He actually got a disease though. It tore away at his muscle tissue until he couldn't walk and then he couldn't use his arms and then he became completely paralyzed so much so that he couldn't move his lungs and suffocated."
"Shikamaru 'lazy ass' Nara?"
"Shika was a certified genius. I believe his IQ was equal if not higher than Einstein's. He didn't really do field work 'cause he was so lazy. He made plans, designed weapons, helped Sasuke with new formulas that kind of stuff. He lived with an original Team 7 member named Asuma."
Hinata's eyes widened. "Kurenai's husband!"
"Yeah. When he heard he died he kind of went off. He found the bastard that did it and just when he thought he finally killed him the fucker gets him with his back turned. He's the only killer we didn't get personally."
"Who was it?"
"You should know, you killed him in your room."
Hinata tensed. "…I'm sorry. If Scarecrow had told me I would have never gone out with Hidan."
"Hey, hey it's ok. You didn't know and I'm just glad he's finally dead. I'm sure Kurenai thanks you as well. You wanna read the last one?"
"Chouji Akimichi. I don't understand that makes it eight members not counting Scarecrow. I thought there were only seven members."
Naruto's face-hardened and he closed his eyes. "Chouji wasn't an actual member. He worked in the kitchen. He was an awesome guy and one of my best friends. One day I went with him to the grocery store just 'cause I was bored. Some blond Akatsuki member recognized me and tried to catch me off guard. Chouji saw him coming after me and stepped in the way of his knife. He was dead almost immediately. I-I still haven't found him yet. It was my fault. If I had just stayed at home he would still be here."
"Naruto stop!" Naruto turned his head and met Hinata's furious gaze. "You shouldn't blame yourself for any of these deaths. You couldn't have done anything to save Chouji. How could you have known an Akatsuki was there?"
"I know but-" Hinata silenced him with a kiss.
"In your line of work you've got no room for regrets, no chance to blame yourself and no time to look back. All you can do is try to keep yourself sane and honor their memory by living as much as you can. Now come back to bed."
Naruto chuckled, "Yes dear." He leaned in for a kiss and then stopped.
Hinata tensed, "What is it?" she whispered.
"Did you hear that?"
"No, what did it sound like?"
Naruto got up and went to his closet pulling out a rifle and sticking his two 9x19mm guns in the back of his pants. "It sounded like glass breaking and then I heard some thumps. I'm gonna go check it out." Naruto went out in the hall and checked for danger. Hinata grabbed his red shirt from the ground and put it on. She got her gun, some extra bullets from the closet and joined him outside. "Hey I need you to go downstairs with Kakashi and my Dad. They should be in the control room near the back. And be safe ok? I don't need another sunbeam on my chest!" He gave her a quick kiss and jogged quietly down the hall.
'Be careful love.' She heard a creak behind her and turned around with her gun out in front. "Show yourself!"
AN: Oooooo cliffhanger! Sorry but I had to. Next time we'll see Itachi, Kisame and some new people. Will Sasuke make it? Who's breaking in downstairs? Who was behind Hinata? Find out next chapter and review please!
