Chapter 7
Treason
"Another test?", Ankiseth asked,
"Yup, this one courtesy of our new sensei, Anko Mitarashi!", Naruto replied, at this, Ankiseth used one of his smiles,
"Oh may!, I hope she won't be so harsh on any of you, my children", he was making a nice feast for his child, his soon to be daughter-in-law, and the reborn God, while it was pretty obvious that they were going to graduate, it was a nice 'coincidence' that the three of them ended in the same team.
=Flashback=
"This is the list of graduates of this year", Iruka showed the list to the Hokage, who wasn't surprised at all, and still, his face showed uneasiness,
"Thank you, Iruka, I will handle the group forming", Sarutobi dismissed Iruka, who felt that something was amiss,
"Is there something wrong, Hokage-sama?", at Iruka's concern, Sarutobi decided to let slip a little of his troubles,
"No, and yes, this year is going to be a little hard to make the teams, with the exception of the Ino-Shika-Cho, who was decided long ago, Kurenai asked for the Hyuga to be in her tracking team, I have one young Zonbolt asking for this Rock Lee in her team, Haruno is asking for her granddaughter to be advanced and be placed with the Uchiha heir, and nobody want their children to be in the same team with Naruto...", Sarutobi explained
Iruka felt his blood boiling, how can people blame Naruto, he was the hero after all, but got no chance of made his mind verbal, because Hiashi entered the room,
"Sorry for coming like this, but since you are going to make the genin teams, I want to ask a special favor", Hiashi started, both Iruka and Sarutobi were ready to hear the same bullshit, but...
"I want Hinata to be in the same team with the Uzumaki boy, since Ankiseth-san is not a shinobi, and for hence, has no voice in this matter, I vote in his behalf too, for Naruto to be in the same team as my daughter", Hiashi voiced his request, and neither Iruka or Sarutobi believed their ears,
"H-Hiashi-sama...", Iruka tried to say something, but was cut by Hiashi,
"Yes, I'm serious, yes, I remember that Naruto is the vessel of the Kyuubi, and yes, I'm aware that the elders aren't going to like this, but I'll deal with them when the time comes", Hiashi said.
"Hiashi-sama, if Ankiseth is blackmailing you...", Sarutobi interjected,
true, the merchant was a kindhearted man, harmless, and always had what you needed, but he didn't liked how things were always favorable to him no matter what, but soon, he and Iruka faced something that they will never forget, Hiashi's emotionless mask fell, and he looked sad
"Hokage-sama, I had to see my daughter being sealed, I had to hear her screams of pure pain and despair, that day I swore to myself to grant her the happiness she deserved, the happiness I stole when I tried to force her into being the heir, I don't like the Uzumaki boy anymore than the rest, but my daughter likes him, and I can't stand in the way of her happiness anymore, please, I beg you, I don't want to see her with a broken heart just because she is not in the same team as the boy she loves", Hiashi explained with a broken voice, and Sarutobi didn't had other choice but to agree,
After Hiashi left, Sarutobi closed his eyes, he was tired of this, so, he choosed the easy way, lifting the pen to randomly select the rest of the teams,
"Oh well, I guess God will choose the rest", while he said this, a certain reborn God started to laugh like a madman.
=End of the Flashback=
"Well, at least, by the grace of God, you are all together, and you will stay like that", Ankiseth concluded, enjoying the pun,
"AYE!", Lee replied, and Naruto and Hinata giggled while leading the floating plates filled with food, one of them, had a roasted boar, soaked in spices,
"Dinner is ready", Hinata sang,
"AH!, A FEAST FITTED FOR THE GODS!", oddly enough, it was easy to please the local God of War when you live with him.
Meanwhile, Hyuga compound...
"I find it quite strange that the Hokage didn't hear your pleas about separating your daughter from the demon kid", one of the elders expressed his concern, the day before the naming of the teams, Hiashi agreed to talk to the Hokage about the team prospects for his daughter,
"I told him my concerns, and he said it was for the best", Hiashi replied, he wasn't lying, but neither was telling the truth
"At least she is being restrained in her room, we can't go against the Hokage in this, but we can restrict their time together as much as we can", another elder spoke, Hiashi made a mental note to purchase something cute for Hinata's double, she was a true blessing to both of them, but he couldn't help but to feel guilty for imprisoning the girl,
"There is another thing, Hiashi, while is acceptable to a Hyuga member to learn an alternate style besides the Jyuken, I have noticed that your daughter Hinata relays too much in that weapon", the head elder commented, but Hiashi didn't flinch
"A fine masterpiece, indeed, it seems that my daughter has found a new style on her sword, MASAMUNE", Hiashi put special emphasis in the name of the legendary sword, and this got a massive gasp from the elders,
"Y-You c-can't b-be s-serious!, the true masterpiece of the katanas?, the blade of the One-Winged-Angel-of-Death?!", one of the elders asked, Hiashi found quite amusing that the elder stuttered like his daughter used to do.
"Yes, that same sword, and before you ask, it still belongs to the Uzumaki clan, even if it still a small family of 2 members, their resources are quite vast", Hiashi explained, and just as he predicted, greed flashed on the eyes of the elders, now he needed to move carefully, or all the work to make Hinata happy will be wasted,
"And... how can we make that sword a gift for our clan?", the head elder asked, yes, Hiashi will have to move with caution
Latter that night...
Hanabi wanted to take a walk, and as usual, she went in the company of her 'sister', Atanih, as she named herself in order to not let Hiashi to know what she was,
"I still don't understand what do you see in that blonde merchant, Sister", Hanabi stated, not only she was fooled too by Hinata's double, but also feel strange that her sister was attracted to someone that everyone else found unworthy, unfortunately for her, this wasn't Hinata, so, a blunt answer was in the way.
"Well, is like the way you feel around the honourable grandson of the Hokage", Atanih answered, enjoying the deep blush in Hanabi's face,
"H-How did you know?!", Hanabi shouted, her deepest secret was discovered by her sister, Atanih wanted to laugh, and also to shout that every Hyuga is a pervert to heart, but before she could further tease Hanabi, her mirage byakugan detected an incoming attack,
"HANABI WATCH OUT!!!", Atanih shouted while throwing Hanabi to the ground, just to be stabbed by a giant shuriken, Hanabi was so shocked by the scene of the death of her sister, that she didn't noticed that someone was getting closer, then everything went black.
A few minutes latter, Mizuki was running at full speed thru the forest outside Konoha,
"HA!, this was my lucky day, not only I managed to get the forbidden scroll, but an extra treasure!, Lord Orochimaru will be so pleased, that not only he will make me special jounin, but he may allow me to breed with this little slut!", Mizuki expressed,
this was his revenge, and he was so engrossed by his apparent success, that he didn't noticed two facts, first, he was being followed, and second, he has passed the same tree for third time, when he decided to stop to take a small rest.
"Mizuki-sensei, what are you doing here?", Mizuki turned to face the owner of the voice, just to find Naruto, who had a wicked smile in his face,
"Huh?, Naruto?, I'm in a classified mission, but what are you doing here at this hour, shouldn't you be getting ready for tomorrow's test?", Mizuki asked, trying his best to hide his emotions, if things come to the worst, he will tell Naruto about the Kyuubi, then, in the confusion, he will kill the demon kid, scoring an extra trophy.
"You are a bad liar, now hand over my sister, your filthy hands have touched her enough", Hinata said, walking out of the shadows,
Mizuki let the scroll and Hanabi fall to the floor, breaking the henge on the little Hyuga,
"No!, It can't be!, I killed you!, I saw your guts sprawled all over the street!, it wasn't a genjutsu!, YOU ARE DEAD!", Mizuki shouted, terror getting the best of him.
"It does not matter, now give up, and we'll allow you to walk on your own feet to the village, were you'll be judged as a traitor", Naruto stated, and this brought Mizuki back to his senses,
"Nice genjutsu, I see you noticed that I killed your stupid girlfriend, so what?, want the other Hyuga now that the failure is dead?, you may be good at genjutsu, but I'm much more experienced ninja, NOW DIE!", Mizuki shouted, while sending a barrage of kunais,
As soon as he saw that Hinata used her blade to deflect all the kunais, he started to think, 'So, she is real, damn Hyugas, the one I killed was a double!', as he thought this, he grabbed Hanabi again, to use her as hostage.
"Using my soon to be sister-in-law as a shield?, you may think you are so smart, but that can be fixed", Naruto stated, not with coldness, but with an unnatural happy tone,
Mizuki couldn't make sense of that, until the shadows below Naruto expanded, not like the Nara secret jutsu, this shadows looked liquid, it separated and raised from the ground behind the blond genin,
"What an amazing genjutsu!, but this isn't an amateur fight, KAI!", Mizuki tried to dispel the illusion before he was trapped, but it didn't dispelled, meaning that this was all real.
Soon the separated shadows raised high, and the tips took the shape of fox heads, nine fox heads, suddenly they opened their eyes, several dozens of eyes on each head, they also opened their jaws, that were filled with irregular freakish tusks, Mizuki was so scared, that he didn't noticed that Hanabi wasn't in his hands anymore,
"Naruto-kun, now that my sister is safe, can you pretty please, DESTROY THAT FILTHY BASTARD?!", Hinata shouted with an unholy rage that made Kyuubi proud of her,
"As you wish, my dear, this bastard will never get up of this", Naruto stated, and Mizuki watched in horror how the nine heads darted at him, with murderous intent.
Meanwhile...
"Are yo sure you don't need a medic?", Hiashi asked to Atanih, who was currently gathering her innards from the street floor,
"No, Hiashi-sama, I don't need a medic, but some help could be useful, can you kindly pick up my intestines?, they are over there, and over there too", Atanih asked, being an homunculus had the benefit of not dieing, but it was quite troublesome when your organs got spilled out of you,
"It amaze me, your kekke genkai is awesome, still, I have no words to describe my gratitude... I think this is one of your lunges...", Fortunately, her inability to die by ordinary means was confused by one of those strange blood lines, making her able to blend with the crowds easier.
"Dad!, Atanih!, here is Hanabi!", Hinata arrived, unfazed by the gore,
"Thanks to God!, now we can call the search to a stop, who did kidnapped her?", Hiashi asked,
"It was Mizuki-sensei, Naruto-kun is dealing with him right now", Hinata calmly replied,
"WHAT?!", Hiashi shouted, and this woke up Hanabi,
"Huh?, dad?... SISTER?!", Hanabi shouted, freaking out,
'OH CRAP!', both Hinata and her sin thought.
One hour later...
Naruto was still watching Mizuki, who was battered beyond words, still conscious, but his mind was already lost by the insane pain that he suffered at the 'hands' of Naruto, he was covered in blood, he looked clawed and bited from every angle, bones were visibly broken, and his eyes looked lost, this sight was what the ANBU team reported back at the Hokage, who dismissed them, saying that he overlooked the fight with his crystal ball all the time, and it was a very powerful genjutsu, mixed with some physical attacks, and anything that Mizuki could say about it should be ignored,
"Naruto, what have you become?", Sarutobi asked to no one in particular, he was amazed by the unspeakable power unleashed by the son of Minato, a power that Kyuubi didn't had,
"He has become my son, and I'm very proud of him", a sweet male voice replied, and as Sarutobi turned to face the owner of the voice, his eyes grew wide as he recognized the speaker.
