Chapter 5: Key to Success: The Fang-Thing-Tornado Move
Hinata awoke to a cold floor and a very dark room. Besides the torch on the wall, the room was pitch dark… being lit up a little and causing horrific shadows. Hinata tried to sit up, yet the drug's effects had not worn off and her head felt light. Suddenly she heard footsteps approaching and Hinata's head snapped up, trying to see her surroundings better. She made out a barred door and a small window at the top of the left wall… She was in a cell.
"I see you have woken up Miss Hyuuga," said a voice that only belonged to one man, " We won't be staying here for long, our host might decide to turn on us and I am not in shape to fight… especially not against the Mangekyo."
'…The Mangekyo?' The name seemed familiar, she had heard it somewhere… Maybe Kurenai Sensei told her about it… All she knew was that it was some sort of advanced form of the Sharingan… And besides Itachi who was now deceased only two others had the Uchiha kekkei genkai Sharingan: Madara and….
"Kabuto… Are you healed yet? I don't like your presence in my domain…" said a cold familiar voice...
Hinata tried to see who was speaking yet the shadows hid the person well… She was certain she knew the owner of the voice… Yet who is it?
"Aww come on, didn't we both used to study together? I helped you train and gain your abilities… Sasuke…"
Realization hit Hinata in the face like a cup of ice cold water… Sasuke? Sasuke Uchiha…. as in Naruto's best friend and the missing nin who betrayed Konoha?
"I owe you nothing… You saw what I did to Orochimaru; I had no ties with you… You and him were just another stepping stone on my road to gain more power… easily discarded."
Hinata noted as Kabuto's jaw tightened and anger flashed his snake-like face, but they were gone as soon as they appeared.
"Don't worry Sasuke, we will be leaving soon… by any chance you wouldn't happen to know where Madara is, do you? I will have to move quickly, for my last battle with Uzumaki was close… too close…"
Sasuke's eyes widened a bit, but he regained his composure quickly.
"Was he the only one?" inquired the Uchiha.
"According to my information, Hatake and Haruno were tagging along as well, yet the pink head got injured and the copy ninja stayed with her, causing Team 7 to split up."
At the mention of Sakura and Kakashi, Hinata saw Sasuke's face flash sadness yet it quickly turned into a smug smirk.
"Hah, I would rather enjoy confronting my old team… That would teach Kakashi to not use a kekkei genkai that is not his, yet belongs to the Uchihas!"
"Now now Sasuke, you will get your chance… For the time being let's bring our little girl to Madara…"
"He should be at the second hideout, the one that is about two miles from here…" said Sasuke, "Who knows, I might meet up with you later to join the fun, I am sure …Naruto will find you anywhere you go…"
"Hmm, I see you still believe in your friend Sasuke… maybe you still care…"
"Tch… I don't care for that dobe or anyone else who won't give me power."
His eyes widened as he unconsciously called Naruto by the old nickname he gave him.
"As you say… Well we will be leaving now so please release Hinata."
"Hn…"
Soon Hinata was out of the cell, yet seeing as she couldn't walk, he carried her and they vanished in thin air…
O~o~O
Sakura had lost most of her energy as the poison took over her body, slowly draining away her life. She leaned against a rock as Kakashi stood guard… She had healed her outer wounds yet the poison threatened her life…
"Sakura, hold on… Reinforcements are on their way." Kakashi tried to reassure the paling pink kunoichi.
"Ha… Tsunade-sama's pupil will not go down that easily…" she smiled weakly.
Suddenly various footsteps approached and Kakashi took on a fighting stance… only to be surprised by a huge dog.
"Never fear! Reinforcements are here!" said Kiba who was riding on Akamaru, with one of his biggest grins that would rival Naruto's.
Apparently he was thrilled to be saving the day. Shino quietly appeared besides him… well all was the same with the bug tamer.
"Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru… do you have the antidote?"
"Sure do!" said Kiba while patting his pocket.
His smile suddenly dropped and he patted again only this time he checked the other pocket as well. He patted his whole body and turned his pockets inside out.
"I-I swear I had it… I did."
Kakashi sweat dropped and turned a shade paler… Though Sakura was slowly growing weaker, her hands still turned into fists and her jaw tightened.
Shino walked up to them and slightly smacked Kiba's head. He reached inside his pocket and retrieved a grey flask and handed it to Kakashi.
"Seriously Kiba you have no sense of responsibility… What would you do without me?"
"He he…" said Kiba as he scratched the back of his head.
Kakashi immediately gave the antidote to Sakura who immediately had the color return to her face. She was still a little weak, but recovery wouldn't be a problem now…
"Shino, Kiba please stay with Sakura until she fully recovers and then meet up with us. I will try to find Naruto, I have a feeling that Hinata is still in danger and so is Naruto."
"Sure thing… We had nothing to do in the village anyways, right Shino?"
The bug tamer merely nodded in response.
"Well then, I'm off…"and with that Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
O~o~O
"Hinata where are you?" Naruto whispered as he roamed Otogakure's mountainside.
He had quickly left the hideout and resumed his search. Pakkun hopped around behind him and sniffed the ground.
"Hey kid, I think I caught a whiff of her scent. It is weird though, suddenly I feel as if it is right in front of us and then far away…"mumbled Pakkun.
"Huh? How is that possible?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know it is very confusing."
"Argh! We aren't getting anywhere…. Hinata! We need to find her! I will not stand to lose another person precious to me."
The kid seemed on the verge of tears again so Pakkun kept all comments to himself. He sniffed around and found a nice bush. He let the kid regain his composure as he went among his business. Soon Naruto was standing up again with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Let's go Pakkun…"
Both walked a distance until Pakkun stopped and circled the ground. It took Naruto a while before he realized the pug had stayed behind. He went back and found Pakkun sniffing the ground furiously. The blond shrugged and sat down and observed the dog. Suddenly the dog stopped and he was wagging his tail furiously.
"Kid, hey kid… I know where she might be!"
The whiskered boy had almost fallen asleep when he heard Pakkun. He quickly stood up and almost tripped in his haste. He scurried over to where Pakkun was smiling as if he had won a year's supply of dog treats.
"Where! Where is she?"
"Here…" he said as he pawed the dirt.
"He he… Not funny Pakkun, she isn't here or we would have seen her."
Pakkun sweat dropped and couldn't believe how dense Naruto could be.
"You idiot, she is underground! Right under from where we are!"
Naruto's eyes lit up in realization and he just kept on staring at the ground.
"That is why her scent was off… It was right under us all along!" stated Kakashi's dog.
Naruto pasted a goofy grin on his face and reached over to the dog. Pakkun in turn backed away.
"N-no need for so much gratitude… We will just leave it at thanks."
Naruto laughed yet then turned serious, "How will we get there?"
"Hmmm good question…"
"You wouldn't by any chance be able to-"
"No." Pakkun cut in, "It is a good ways deep and I am not willing to dig that deep. Not that I even could."
"Hmm… I know!" the blonde exclaimed, "Kiba can use that fang thing tornado move that can dig through the ground right?"
"Hmm, currently he is with Sakura and Shino waiting for her to recover."
'Sakura…' Naruto felt a small pang in his chest as he remembered that his pink haired friend had been injured.
"Kakashi is on his way here, I could go to him and get the trio that was left behind."Pakkun said, "Then that dog guy could use his tornado move thing you said."
"Alright! Hurry Pakkun!"
O~o~O
Pakkun disappeared and after about ten minutes he reappeared yet this time on the shoulder of a masked silver haired ninja.
"Yo…"the ninja saluted.
"Kakashi sensei! How is everybody?"
"Ask them yourself…"replied Kakashi.
As if on cue, a large dog appeared with Shino and Kiba in tow. Sakura was resting on Akamaru's back, but Naruto was glad to see she was better.
"Hey Naruto, long time no see."
"He he well if it isn't Kiba the dog boy…" replied Naruto with a smirk.
"Hey well dogs are better than toads any day." countered Kiba.
"Well enough about that we are here to save Hinata remember?" Shino put in.
"Oh right. Kiba we need you to use your fang thing tornado move to bust into Kabuto's hiding right here," he said as he tapped the ground "Hinata must be under here."
Kiba's eyebrow twitched as Naruto used a different move for his special technique.
"It's called the fang over fang technique. You should at least know the name of the move that will save your butt as well as Hinata's."
"He he… Well we can talk later how about you just do it already?"
"Oh right, ready Akamaru?" Kiba said enthusiastically.
"Woof!"
He gave Akamaru a pill and then the dog turned into a second Kiba…. Almost like a shadow clone, except this one is actually a living copy…
"Here we go… FANG OVER FANG!"
The two Kibas formed two tornado-like funnels and dove straight into the ground. Immediately the ground started giving away and opening like if it was clay.
Soon the gang followed after the two swirling funnels, even Sakura was well enough to walk by herself as she walked besides her team companions. Soon all the rumbling stopped and they reached the cave opening Kiba and Akamaru were already ahead exploring the tunnel. Naruto quickly caught up and found a door. They took it down and there she was… Hinata, tied up in a small cell.
"HINATA!" yelled both Naruto and Kiba in unison.
As soon as they rushed to the cell, five ninja appeared, each at jounin level. Kiba and Akamau took one, Naruto one, Shino one, and Kakashi took on two. Soon they were defeated and Sakura was already healing Kiba's wounded arm and Shino's twisted ankle. Naruto used a Rasengan to break open the cell and he rushed inside. He removed the gag from the unconscious Hinata and lifted her into his arms. He finally found her…. 'Hinata..'
The indigo haired girl slowly parted her eyelids to reveal pale lavender orbs.
"N-Naruto…?"
"Yea it's me… Let's get out of here."
O~o~O
"Lord Kabuto, Naruto Uzumaki has taken Hinata Hyuuga out of the second hideout."
"Good, he took the bait… Just as Madara wanted…"
The cloaked snake man turned and pressed a button on his throne. Suddenly, a small screen appeared and a map of Otogakure was visible. A single red dot was moving towards the south and then stopped about 10 miles from the second hideout where the Hyuuga had been rescued.
"We know where they are… and soon we will attack," said Kabuto, "The nine tails will finally be ours, as well as the Byakugan kekkei genkai…"
With that he let out a evil laugh that rang through the corridors.
"Watch out Naruto Uzumaki…. Kabuto Yakushi always gets what he wants…"
Well that is it, until next time~ Please REVIEW…. If I get enough reviews I will write a new chapter extra quick :D
