The Journey Begins (Chapter 9)

"Let's go, Hinata-chan!" Naruto said.

"Hai…Naruto-kun…" Hinata said.

Naruto held Hinata's hand then they both walked into the woods. They walked for hours.

"Let's rest for a bit." Naruto said.

"Hai…Naruto-kun…" Hinata said.

"Okay." Hinata said.

They both sat down under a tree.

"Naruto-kun. Here. Drink first." Hinata said.

"Arigato, Hinata-chan!" Naruto said.

Naruto drank the water Hinata gave.

"On your way to Chiren, eh?" Jimbu said.

"I'm on it." Han said.

"What are you planning to do?" Jimbu said.

"Watch and learn." Han said.

Then, Han vanished.

"Bastard." Jimbu said.

Han teleported under the bush. He crouched under it.

"It's bed time." Han said.

Then, Han made seals.

"Heirusen No Jutsu!" Han said.

Then, gas spread through the place where Naruto and Hinata are resting. After a few seconds,

"I feel tired." Hinata said.

"Me too." Naruto said.

Not long, they fell asleep.

"Sweet Dreams." Han said.

Then, Jimbu sighed. It was evening already. Hinata gently woke up in the middle of the forest while Naruto was still unconscious. The two gennins were tied up in a tree with veins.

'Where am I? What happened?' Hinata said.

Hinata turned her head over to the right side and saw Naruto, still unconscious.

'Naruto-kun!' Hinata said.

"Konbanwa." Han said.

"What did you do to us?" Hinata said.

"We just need the secret scroll that Nanny gave you and the demon kid." Jimbu said.

"Naruto-kun's not a demon kid!" Hinata said.

"Oh, shut up with the drama!" Han said.

"Using the kid's powers, our village will be well-known and powerful techniques will be used!" Jimbu said.

"Why would you use an innocent kid in your harsh plans? Why don't you just train your village like every other normal village does?" Hinata said.

"That is none of your business." Jimbu said.

"There are some things you don't know about people. Sometimes people you meet are physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually…" Han said.

Han walked near Hinata then whispered the words,

"….evil" Han said.

"Han. We have to go. We have to fix something." Jimbu said.

"Oh yeah. The demolition plan." Han said.

"What are you planning to do?" Hinata said.

"Like what I said before, it's none of your business." Han said.

Then Han kissed Hinata's cheek.

"Jurenin No Jutsu!" Jimbu said.

Dark ninjas appeared all of a sudden.

"They'll guard you. Just so you don't do anything regrettable" Jimbu said.

Then, Jimbu and Han vanished.

'I have to do something. If I don't do something…' Hinata said.

Then, Hinata remembered what her father taught her

"If you're in a middle of nowhere and you're in a trap, concentrate your chakra through your whole body. When you feel heat, a sweat pours from your face, then release. That's what you will do, Hinata." Hiashi said in flashback.

As what Hiashi taught Hinata, Hinata concentrated her chakra through her whole body. She feels heat, sweat pours from her face. Then she shouts the word,

"Release!" Hinata said.

Then, the veins attached to her were cut by chakra. The dark ninjas threw several kunai and shuriken at her. It was not just a simple two hand throw. There were three or more kunais and shurikens approaching Hinata. Then,

"Shugohakke Rokujyu Yonshou!!!" Hinata said.

Then, all the kunais and shurikens fell down to the ground. Naruto woke up because of the noise.

'Hinata-chan…' Naruto said in his mind.

Hinata remembered all the techniques her father, Hyuuga Hiashi taught her. Hinata closed her eyes.

'I have to fight…' Hinata said in her mind.

Hinata concentrated all her chakra in her hands.

'…for all my loved ones…and especially for…' Hinata said in her mind.

Hinata opened her eyes with full confidence, without fear.

'…Naruto-kun…' Hinata said in her mind.

Then, Hinata jumped and punched her two hands on the ground. While doing that, she was shouting so loud. After that, all the dark ninjas fainted and vanished like ash. Naruto gasped at what Hinata did. Hinata looked at Naruto with so much exhaustion. Hinata walked towards Naruto and cut all the veins using a kunai then fainted.

"Hinata-chan!" Naruto said.

Naruto catched Hinata before she falls.

"You are very great out there, Hinata-chan! I didn't know you are that strong!" Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said.

"That was one of the best techniques I ever saw!!!" Naruto said.

"Naruto-kun…arigato…" Hinata said.

Hinata smiled with so much happiness in her heart.

'I did it…I protected Naruto-kun…I did it…' Hinata said in her mind.
