Mizu: Still going! This one is awesome! I haven't been able to write long Naruto fics in such a long time. I really hope you guys like this one. Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Tobi would have a better name that went better with his real name. Tobi just isn't threatening enough. It doesn't even make his random/goofy/idiotic side seem like that.
Their Impossible Mission
Chapter Four: His ticket to the Afterlife
The incident that happened in the village had been over a week ago and still Naruto never awoke. Everyone was worried. Especially Hinata. But there wasn't anything that they could do. Each of them took turns going to the cave in hope that he'd be awake. Never did that wish come true, but all the same they wished.
One day, Hinata came running into the cave and collapsed onto Naruto. True, most of the time when she came she ran to him but this time she was crying. Sasuke and Sakura jumped up from where they were sitting and ran to her side.
"Hinata! What is it?" Sakura exclaimed, worried for her well being.
"My father has ordered that I'm to be married to the man of his choice unless I can prove that I have a fiancé!" Hinata shouted, crying onto Naruto's chest.
"What? Why?" the two shinobi snapped.
"Because if I'm to take his place as the head of the family, I'm to be married," Hinata sobbed.
Sasuke punched the wall. This couldn't be happening. Naruto and Hinata were meant for each other.
"Hin…nata," a faint voice rose from Naruto.
The three occupants of the cave stared at the blonde shinobi as he opened his eyes.
"Hinata, are you ok?" Naruto asked weakly, "Why are you crying?"
"Naruto!" Hinata shouted, hugging him as tight as she could.
"Too…tight," Naruto gasped, grimacing in pain.
"Naruto! It's awful! Father is going to make me marry a man of his choice unless I can find some to be my fiancé!" Hinata cried.
"Naruto, we can't let that happen!" Sakura snapped.
"You have to help her!" Sasuke added.
"I can't," Naruto whispered.
"Why not! You love her, right?" Sasuke snapped.
"Yeah but…" Naruto stated, trying to sit up to face his friends.
"You love me?" Hinata questioned.
"But why won't you ask her to be yours and yours alone!" Sasuke shouted.
"Because of what happened!" Naruto shouted back.
"Wait," Hinata stated, grabbing Naruto's head to face her, "You love me?"
"Um…er…yeah," Naruto stuttered, blushing.
"Then what's the problem!" She snapped.
"Because of what I did to you! I don't want to hurt you!" Naruto snapped back.
"Naruto's better," Sasuke and Sakura stated.
"Because of what? You bit my lip too hard? Is that all? I didn't even feel it," Hinata stated, "All I remember feeling was how happy I was that you and I were kissing."
"You don't understand. I could have killed you," Naruto sighed.
"Why? Are you some kind of vampire? I don't care. I love you for everything you are," Hinata stated.
"Not a vampire, but a Jinchuuriki. The Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox," Naruto stated.
"N-Nine-tailed fox," Hinata stuttered.
"If I'm not careful, the fox will take control and could seriously hurt you if not kill you. I never want that to happen to you," Naruto stated, "That's why we can't be together."
"Why? Because some silly old fox says so? I'm stronger than you think, Naruto." Hinata said.
"But, the fox is-" Naruto started.
"The fox is just sharing your body and is not you. You'd never hurt me. And I'm sure I can handle the fox," Hinata said, inching her lips closer to Naruto.
"H-H-Hinata!" Naruto stuttered, "Not again. What happened to the shy Hina-"
Hinata silenced him by closing the gap between their lips. Hinata broke the kiss apart before the fox could take over.
"She's still here, but…" she said, holding Naruto still, "She's taking a break."
"Hey, Sakura?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yeah?"
"Think that we should leave?" Sasuke asked.
"Maybe," Sakura stated.
"Not yet, you guys. Tsunade said that Naruto should come home today. The villagers have cooled off enough." Hinata said.
Hinata kissed Naruto again, holding till she felt the fox take control and start to bite onto her lips. She pulled her head away and hit him hard on the head, sending the fox reeling.
"Bad foxy! No bite!" Hinata scolded.
The fox either heard and understood or just didn't like Hinata because it quickly left Naruto's system when Hinata and him started to kiss again. Once again, she broke the kiss.
"You see? I'm pretty strong, right?" Hinata blushed.
Naruto nodded, rubbing his head, "It still hurt though."
"Sorry," Hinata apologized, "Come on, we need to get you to the village as soon as possible and tell my dad."
"Wait, tell your dad what?" Naruto snapped.
"That you're my fiancé, silly!" Hinata giggled.
*In Naruto's mind*
"Let's see…Hiashi has always hated me and my family for some reason…And he'll most likely want Hinata to carry the Hyuga name…But with me being the only one of my mother's clan then she might take my name leaving them without a leader…So if Hinata brought me to her place and told her dad…and me being in this condition…plus his skill, gentle fist style, and Byakugan…"
*In the cave*
"I'm not going!" Naruto shouted, clinging to a rock.
"Yes you are!" Hinata shouted back, trying to pull him free.
"I miss the shy Hinata!" Naruto cried.
"Hush or someone will hear you!" Sakura shouted.
"I don't care! Anything is better than facing Hiashi!" Naruto shouted back.
"But why would father hurt you?" Hinata asked.
"Well…There's the fact that he hates my family for some reason. And have you considered that I might want to carry on my mother's clan!" Naruto explained.
"You're…mother's clan?" Sakura and Hinata asked, "I thought Uzumaki was your father's name."
"It's not. It's my moms," Naruto stated, "That's all I know though."
"Well that's no problem! I'll gladly take your name! I just have to be…" Hinata stopped and blushed a dark red, "Carrying your child."
"Oh, and that's not a problem?" Naruto snapped, blushing darker than her.
"Hinata, why is that?" Sasuke asked.
"Well…in our clan, they want as many of us to stay in the clan as possible. So, we are forbidden to…um…do anything till we are married. If we wait till then, our families can persuade our spouse to take our name. But if we don't wait…we are disowned," Hinata explained.
"Hinata," Naruto whispered, "This stinks."
"But…we can lie!" Hinata stated.
"How? Byakugan can see a fetus and we all know that you don't have one…" Sakura started and then stared at Hinata, "You don't, right?"
"No!" Hinata shrieked, "But I know how to fool my dad's eyes. If I concentrate hard enough, I can make a form of chakra in the approximate spot that is similar to an infant."
"Still," Naruto said, grabbing whatever he could, "I'm not going! Either way, Hiashi is going to kill me! And I can't fight him in this condition!"
"Why don't you just stay with Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know…she may not look like it but Grandma Tsunade is starting to get on in her years. I don't want her to be hurt," Naruto stated.
"What did you say Naruto?" Tsunade snapped from the entrance to the cave.
Naruto ducked behind Sasuke in fear from all the women in the cave.
"Sasuke understands my problem, right?" Naruto gave a weak laugh.
"Naruto…I've seen you fight when you were in worst condition and I know for fact that you could take Hiashi with ease," Sasuke stated, dragging Naruto to the opening of the cave.
"I don't want to go back!" Naruto cried, trying to find something to grab onto, "Please! What about the villagers?"
"Why are you so scared of them?" Tsunade sighed.
"Because," Naruto started and then paused, "I'm not scared of what they think I am as a Jinchuuriki. I'm scared what they think of me as…"
"As what, Naruto?" Hinata asked gently.
"As the next Hokage," Naruto sighed.
"But you haven't become the sixth Hokage yet so why are you worrying about it now?" Sakura questioned.
"You haven't told them!" Both Naruto and Tsunade snapped at each other, "I thought that you were gonna tell them!" "I've been out of the village on secret S-rank and Anbu level mission by myself for the past weeks plus this lastest incident!" Naruto shouted.
"I've been busy getting everything in order!" Tsunade shouted back.
"Tell us what?" the three asked.
"I defeated Grandma Tsunade about a month and a half ago for the title of Hokage," Naruto blushed.
"That's why you disappeared for that month!" Sasuke and Sakura snapped.
"Yeah…I had to start doing the hardest of all the missions set to the village as a final test alone," Naruto sighed, "I swear I still have bruises."
"And that's why you left for those few days off," Sakura pointed out.
"I had no idea how strong Naruto had become. He has overcome my strength, he planned out almost everyone of his moves, and he learned several new jutsu on top of that," Tsunade stated, "I had to take several days up just so I could hide all my injuries."
"So why are you afraid again?" Sasuke questioned.
"I'm going to take over as Hokage on my birthday," Naruto stated, not looking at anyone.
"That's sure is some kind of birthday present," Sakura stated.
"Have you forgotten? My birthday is the day the fox attacked and the fourth died," Naruto told them.
"But that still-" Sakura started.
"Listen! I want the village to be a safe place. I want the villagers to feel safe, happy, and at peace. If they hate my guts to begin with, they'll never believe that I can protect them. They'll set up assassination attempts which will put anyone who is close to me in danger. I don't want that to happen," Naruto explained.
"Just because you bit too hard on my lip?" Hinata questioned. She paused to think, "I know! I haven't seen you that often since you defeated Tsunade, right? Well, if we tell everyone that we were dating before that and when you returned that day from a mission and I saw you I raced up to you to tell you that I was pregnant. You were so overjoyed that you couldn't contain your happiness and the fox decided to see what was up."
Naruto stared at Hinata. She wasn't serious. Lie to the whole village about a pregnancy.
"One little problem," Naruto sighed, scratching the back of his head.
"What?" Hinata asked.
"Um…" Naruto paused, "What will everyone think when after nine months, you don't have a kid?"
"Well…" Hinata thought for a second, "We'll just have to have a kid."
That was it. Naruto was a man after all and a man could only take so much. But his way of proving this was…fainting with the darkest shade of red imaginable upon his face.
Hiashi Hyuga couldn't believe it when he saw the village beating upon the Jinchuuriki of the village. He may not have personally liked the boy due to his eldest daughter's fascination with him but he knew that whatever he did could not have been that bad. Even so…Hiashi hadn't seen heads nor tails of the boy since that day. Did the villagers finally kill him?
"Master Hiashi!" Neji's voice rang through the Hyuga complex.
Hiashi looked up to see an infuriated Neji, dragging a crying Hinata behind him, storm into the room.
"What is it, Neji?" Hiashi sighed.
"Look at your daughter's abdomen!" Neji snapped.
"Huh?" Hiashi questioned, "She looks normal."
"To the naked eye, yes. Use your Byakugan!" Neji ordered.
Hiashi did as the side branch member told and saw something that would haunt him for quite awhile.
"You're pregnant?" Hiashi gasped upon seeing the swirling chakra in his daughter's stomach.
Hinata slowly nodded. Hiashi rushed over to his daughter's side and grasped her at her shoulders.
"Who is the father?" He ordered the girl to speak.
At first she stayed silent until her eyes met her father's, "Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki."
Hiashi released the girl and struggled to stand.
"That boy…" Hiashi stammered.
Hiashi looked back at his daughter.
"Where is he?" he barked.
"t-t-the h-h-h-hokage's office," his daughter stuttered.
"That boy is dead!" Hiashi snapped and raced off towards the Hokage mountain.
Neji walked over his cousin and helped her up, "You know that you've just given Naruto a one way ticket to the afterlife, right?"
