Chapter 5
The Princess
Two years have passed since the awakening of Tyr, who decided to keep the previous name of his current body, he also became Naruto's best friend, his cheerfulness and kindness remembered him so much of Baldur, his beloved brother, and in these two years, that friendship has grown even more, of course, things weren't easy for the reborn God and the Son of The Ancient One...
=Flashback=
"Hey!, look at that, the dobe and the klutz, hanging around together like a couple!", one of the kids shouted, signaling to Naruto and Lee, both of them were having lunch peacefully, until this boy decided to start teasing them,
"I can't believe they are calling you dobe!, you are by far the smartest one of this village of weaklings!", Lee whispered to Naruto, who only was smiling,
"Oh, let them be, they are just ignorant, I mean, we have to keep this charade, I play dumb, and you restrain yourself as much as you can, otherwise we won't have the fun we want after the graduation", Naruto replied.
"I guess the rumors are true, by looking at you whispering like that, is easy to see that you are a Gay couple, not really surprising, considering the losers you are", one boy came closer to them, Naruto recognized him, it was the last Uchiha,
"And what's wrong with you?, dressing like that, a pair of clowns if you ask me", Sasuke continued.
Both were dressed very different from the rest of the students, Naruto with his business man suit and orange trench coat and hat, and Lee with loose green pants, brown boots, heavy leather bracers, and a fishnet shirt that did nothing to hide neither his growing muscular body, and his massive collection of tribal tattoos, some of them were even on his face, unknown to everyone, these tattoos were both gravity seals and movement restraining seals.
"What do you man by 'clowns'?, this clothes are made of the finest quality of materials you can find in the world!, and they look cool too!, or are you jealous of not affording the quality of our goods?", Naruto replied, still holding his smile,
Lee was geting angry, not for the words of the brat, but for his attitude, Magni, his nepew, and his high ego were nothing compared to this midgardian kid.
"BAH! You are so jealous of me and my greatness, that you resort to using stupid things like quality of your clothes to hide your mediocre skills, very suited for the son of second hand trader if you ask me", Sasuke concluded
Lee had enough, this midgardian has badmouthed them more than enough to be rewarded with the wrath of every God, but to insult Naruto's father, the kind man that also helped him to awake from his slumber, it turned him into full 'God of War' mode, he was about to rip off Sasuke's head, when the voice of someone known stopped him.
"UCHIHA!, what the hell do you think you are doing?!", Neji shouted, disgusted by the behaviour of the last Uchiha,
"What do you think am I doing?, I'm just placing these two weirdos in their place!", Sasuke replied.
SMACK!!!!!
Just to be hit by a giant paper fan, wielded by Tenten,
"I'm sorry for this, Uzumaki-san, Lee... we'll make sure he won't tease you anymore", Neji bowed and apologized, while Tenten was binding The Uchiha heir with steel cords,
"Thank you, Neji Hyuga, I'll remember to throw something nice for you and your girlfriend in the next purchase you make", Naruto said, earning a deep blush from Tenten, and another bow from the Hyuga prodigy...
=End of Flashback=
Today, at Naruto's 10 birthday, things were going to be great, the party will finally be a little more bigger than three people, because they decided to trap a certain Hyuga girl in a pincer formation, which is what has coming to the current situation.
Both Naruto and Lee were at the range training area, which was pretty empty, since every one else was heading home, only the two of them, a shy girl hiding behind a corner, and another man who was so well concealed, that only God knew he was there.
"May the wishes of your heart will be granted, brother Naruto, for you have worked for them with all your will", Lee stated, he was sitting inside the range training area, leaning against one of the logs that were being used for training,
"Thank you for the blessing, but you should look for happiness too, there should be a worthy girl for you out there", Naruto replied, while holding his new weapon, 'Casull', towards the target that was just a little higher than Lee's head.
Hinata was watching them, despite how shiny was what Naruto was holding, she was more focused on him, his stance, his features, she was completely mesmerized by him, who always showed a warm smile and a kind heart, despite how harsh the life was with him, and those clothes, just enhanced everything, adding a mysterious air, which was boosted with his confident way of walking, as if the world has nothing to throw at him that could affect his life, yes, she was in love with him, the whole him, not like the fangirls of the last Uchiha, who only loved the surface.
BANG!!!
The alien sound brought Hinata back to reality, and she couldn't help but to stare at the results, a hole in the log, just above Lee's head, signaled where the projectile impacted, it was a nice hole, 13 millimeters wide, at first she couldn't make sense of the weapon and the result, until Naruto shot again, and again, and again, every time he do this, a new hole appeared just above Lee's head, the time between, the sound and the impact was very close to nothing, meaning no way to evade it, it was one hell of a weapon, and it made Naruto to look even more unreachable to her.
"Looking at my son?", Ankiseth suddenly asked from behind her, and this earned only one reaction from the shy girl,
"EEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!",
She was caught, and by no other than the father of her crush!,
"Sorry, sorry!, didn't mean to scare you, I never thought that I could sneak behind you to began with, you are a ninja, and I'm a merchant!", Ankiseth explained,
Hinata was still hyperventilating, and blushing, not only for being caught, but for being utterly careless, true, this was one of the kindest man she has ever met, but to let your guard down for a simple civil was unforgivable!
Hinata was still trying to get a word from her mouth, but none was able to get out, she was paralyzed, she wanted to impress this man, but only was embarrassing herself, she was in the worst situation possible, so, she did the only thing she felt smart (or stupid, if you caught the intention), she sent a silent pray,
'To whoever God is listening to me, please, help me to get out of this situation and get the love of Naruto-kun!',
When she finished, she heard something that sounded like 'Granted', this scared her, and the fact that it sounded like certain tattooed boy made it even more freaky, suddenly, she felt hands on her shoulders, and upon turning to face who was touching her, she was greeted by a foxy grin.
"Caught you!, you have escaped every time I tried to talk with you, but today you are going to answer to me!", Naruto spoke, and Hinata was about to freak out,
'Did I annoyed him?, OH NO!, now he hates me!', she thought, but before she could do anything else, Naruto continued,
"So, Do you want to be my girlfriend?", he asked with the warmest smile she had ever seen, Hinata turned to a bright shade of red, and with a loud 'YES!', she fainted in Naruto's arms.
Two weeks later...
Two weeks had passed, and Hinata as still humming love songs, once she promised herself that if Naruto asked her to be his girlfriend, she will put all discretion on that, but since she woke up in the arms of her beloved Naruto, she chained the discretion and shyness to a colossal stone and threw it into the deeps of he sea (figuratively), it was now public knowledge that Naruto and Hinata were a couple, and while some people were happy for them (Iruka, Sarutobi, and Ankiseth), many others were enraged for this turn of events.
"This can't be allowed!, the heir of the Hyuga clan must not befriend the Demon Fox!", one of the Hyuga elders screamed,
At first they believed this to be a joke, then they believed that it wouldn't last more than a few days, but by the looks of it, this was bounded to be long lasting, so, they called to an emergency meeting, they will not allow the Demon Fox in their ranks.
"First of all, I have to remind you that the kid is ONLY the vessel of the Demon, and has not shown any sings of corruption", Hiashi suddenly responded, and everyone else gasped,
"Are you siding with the Demon Fox?!", the head of the elders asked with indignation,
"No, I'm only stated the facts, as well as remember you both the dieing wish of the fourth, as well as the decree of the third", at Hiashi explanation, everyone went silent.
"Still, as the heir of the clan, she must not be allowed to be with this... boy", one of the elders said, spiting venom along with the word 'boy',
"And the heir will not be dating the Uzumaki boy, she is still too young to think on men", Hiashi replied, and this earned questioning looks from the elders,
"Are you telling us that your daughter, Hinata, is not dating the dem... the boy?", another elder asked, not believing the the Head of the clan,
"Don't mistake me, Hinata is indeed dating the Uzumaki boy, but she is not the heir, Hanabi has shown herself more deserving of that title", Hiashi explained, in a last attempt to save his daughter, since the day she came home with that smile, he promised to the spirit of his late wife to protect that happiness at all cost.
"It almost sound as if you approve that relationship", one of the younger elders stated, and the rest glared daggers to Hiashi,
"She is no longer the heir, I fail to see what harm could came from that friendship, in any case, it will benefit us, by keeping a closer eye on the Legacy of the Fourth, if corruption is shown, we can take action faster", Hiashi quickly replied, not wanting his last stand to fall so soon, and then the older of the elders growled,
"Very well, but since she is not the heir anymore, she will be marked, tomorrow at night".
Meanwhile, in the depths of the park...
Hinata was training, since she wasn't confident enough to train her Jyuken, she decided to try another thing, her father never opposed to train other styles, he said it would be beneficial to learn how they were inferior to the family style, so, she decided to try something diferent, Ankiseth suggested her to train with a weapon,
"Some of the greatest warriors are so shy, that they hide behind their blades",
Hinata took this to heart, and asked for a wooden nodachi to practice, she was just a starter, but already got a pair of eyes watching her.
"Nice swordplay, where did you learn it?", a female voice startled Hinata, who cursed for being so careless about her surroundings,
As she turned to face the owner of the voice, she spotted a girl who couldn't be older than her, she was wearing a black Hakama and Gi, with the symbol of a raven on it, she also wear fingerless gloves, her skin was pale and her long silver hair was tied in a high ponytail, also, the bokken in her right hand didn't go unnoticed.
"Er, I'm just learning it, the father of my boyfriend taught me the basic moves, but he told me to make my own style", at Hinata's reply, the other girl frowned, she didn't seemed to like what he heard,
"I see... let's spar!", the girl shouted, and before Hinata could argue, she found herself barely blocking an incoming slash.
"No!, wait!, stop!, I don't want to fight!", Hinata screamed
She tried to reasoning with the crazed girl, but for every word she shouted, she had to block another 5 slashes, the strength of this girl was notorious, Hinata's hands were getting numb, but when everything seemed to be lost, an scary roar made them to stop.
Both turned to look at their side, and a BIG grizzly bear came out flying, and crashed in a tree, at the opposite side from were they were looking,
"WHAT THE HELL?!",
The silver haired girl was shocked by the scene, but Hinata looked somewhat calm, then from the direction from where bear came, a young and tattooed boy came out.
"Come back here, and face your destiny!, I'll make a big feast with your meat, and your fur will make a beautiful rug in my room!", Lee shouted,
The silver haired girl followed him with the eyes, as if he was the only thing on earth, and watched Lee as he beat the bear to a pulp, with his bare hands, she never noticed Hinata getting closer, neither how she raised the wooden nodachi over her head.
WHAM!!!!
"OWIE!!!!", the girl shouted in pain, dropping the bokken, and eyeing Hinata,
"Why did you attacked me without warning?, and who are you anyway?", Hinata asked, the shy girl was hidden behind the blade,
"Hump!, I told you that we were going to spar, no warning is needed between sword users!, as for my name...",
The girl was about to say something, when a deep and manly voice shouted in the distance,
"REIKO! WHERE ARE YOU?! IF YOU ARE FIGHTING AGAIN, YOU WILL FACE THE WRATH OF MY ZANKANTOU!!!",
At the sound of those words, the girl, now known as Reiko, started to freak out, and then darted in the direction of the voice, leaving a confused Hinata.
"A weird and wild girl, isn't she?", Naruto asked, while hugging her from behind,
Hinata only nodded, she was still unused to the sudden apparitions of her boyfriend, when Hiashi came into sight,
"Hinata... and Naruto... I have something important to tell you",
Usually, Hinata would start to freak out, because her father was very protective of her, and he didn't liked to see his daughter being feeled up by any male.
Uzumaki's apartment, a few hours later...
"So, basically, you are telling me that Hinata will be forced to be marked by a cursed seal, only because she is dating you?", Ankiseth asked to the couple, and while both nodded, only Naruto expressed himself,
"Is completely unfair!, I will not allow that to happen!", Hinata blushed, but felt the need to clarify the things,
"Naruto-kun, this can't be avoided, if I'm not marked, then we'll not be allowed to be together", Hinata explained, still sad by this turn of events,
"It's unfair anyway", Naruto replied.
"Well, there is still an alternative way to solve this dilemma", Ankiseth started, with his sweet voice,
'This can't be good', Kyuubi warned,
'What are you talking about?, dad is never wrong', Naruto defended,
'I know Kit, but while it will be good for you, I can't help but to feel sorry for the souls that will be bashed for whatever he is going to do', Kyuubi replied.
"And what is this alternative way?", Hinata asked, with hope in her voice,
"Well, you will have to attend to the ritual, while we hide you here", Ankiseth explained, but Hinata only got more confused,
"Follow me, we must start now", Ankiseth said,
He then guided them to the basement, into a big room, somewhat dark, and with a circle drawn in the floor, the circle showed a very complex pattern inside it, along with smaller circles, on these smaller circles were some bowls filled with many compounds, and three tiny circles were in the middle of the entire circle.
'This is not good, not good at all', Kyuubi warned again, much more scared than before,
'Kyuubi-chan, you should have more faith on dad, he has never disappointed us', Naruto defended again,
Kyuubi almost felt as if Naruto were making a copy of the diabolic grin that could send shivers thru the spine of the fiercest demon.
"Now, to make sure this will work, you must willingly put the next three objects in the three circles in the middle of the room, a strand of hair, a piece of your clothing, and a droplet of blood", Ankiseth instructed,
Hinata did as told, without hesitation, knowing that with the cursed mark, they will force her to marry another person instead of Naruto.
"Very well, now step aside, and be ready to greet whatever comes from this", Ankiseth said,
But before anyone could ask about the safety of this procedure, Ankiseth placed his hands at the border of the circle, the borders started to shine, and then, all the compounds in the bowls started to fly toward the center of the circle, where a cocoon of light formed, soon, all the elements were sucked by the cocoon of light, and a red light started to fill the room.
"Here is where the true masters got separated from the simple experienced ones", Ankiseth said,
Then he started to cast spells, returning the white light to the room, soon, the light faded away, and in it's place, a girl was standing, she was a carbon copy of Hinata, and she was naked, Hinata turned to face Naruto, who was covering his eyes with his hat, Hinata made a mental note to reward him in the near future.
"My, my, why are you so shy?, don't you wish me?, you can take me if you want, and as many times as you want, Naruto-kun", the copy of Hinata almost sang, in a suggestive manner that was VERY unHinata, said girl was so red that a tomato could die of shame at her side, and still, Naruto didn't took the hat from his eyes.
"Speak your name, Fiend", Ankiseth commanded,
"Ask to the girl you molded me after, I'm her sin after all", the copy replied, with not so much respect,
Hinata couldn't believe it, she was looking at the incarnation of her darkest secrets, the last thing she wanted others to know, and a simple word left her lips,
"Lust".
