Chapter 4: Betrayal
There was a silence that made the room seem like it didn't even exist. There were rows of Hidden Blade ninja in the cold stone room. There were only torches on the wall that lead to a large throne. In the throne a man in a white over coat sat.
"As your third Buredokage I have learned many things about this great village. We are a village that has cut our self from the other ninja villages and have established true peace. As much as I personally enjoy the peace; it is time we ended time of calm. It is time we engraved our name in history as the best village ever! It is time to take over the ninja world," said Hakai with a tone that rang through the stone room with an incredible force.
"We will start our rule by destroying the disgusting village of the Hidden Leaf Village. While my master could not finish what he started I will!" yelled Hakai.
The Hidden Blade ninja started to cheer and get pumped up. One ninja dressed in huge armor walked over to Hakai and whispered in his ear.
"What!? Flayer is in the Hidden Leaf!?"
Hakai was furious beyond belief. He eventually calmed down and cursed under his breath.
"Haru. I want you to take a small squad with you and retrieve Flayer. After all, he is my most prized weapon," said Hakai with an evil grin across his face.
Haru nodded and the giant armored man walked away in silence.
Night time fell on the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto was sitting on the floor of his tent meditating. Hinata walked into Naruto's tent and saw that he was meditating and was about to leave when Naruto stood up and smiled at her.
"I was just ummm well I wanted to see if you were healing alright," said Hinata with a stammer.
"Thanks Hinata. Yeah I am doing fine," said Naruto in a almost depressed manner.
"Is e-everything okay?" asked Hinata truly concerned.
"Yeah. It's just Flayer reminds me so much of myself I can't wonder if he truly is ok," responded Naruto.
"H-hey Naruto? Do you want to ummm go for a walk with w-well umm me?" asked Hinata who now had a red face.
"Sure! I think it would really help me focus on something else. Let's go!" said Naruto as he grabbed Hinata's hand and rushed out of the tent.
Naruto led Hinata into the forest of the Leaf Village and he found an open area and sat down on a rock. Naruto looked up and started to admire the stars.
"You know when I was fighting Pain after you got hurt I could only think about something you told me," began Naruto.
Hinata walked over to Naruto and looked at the starts with him.
"You told me something that actually saved me," said Naruto now looking at Hinata.
Hinata back and Naruto but for some reason she wasn't nervous. She felt absolutely perfect.
"You told me you loved me Hinata," said Naruto now starting to blush.
Hinata blushed and looked at her feet. She couldn't believe Naruto remembered she said that.
"I was thinking about that for awhile now. I realized that you have been there for me more than I knew. You always wanted me to do my best. I always knew you cared but I always shrugged those feelings off. I am so sorry Hinata. I should have paid more attention to your feelings," said Naruto as he walked over to Hinata.
"I always thought you were a great ninja and..." before Hinata could finish Naruto wrapped his arms around Hinata in a tight hug.
"I know Hinata. I have very strong feelings for you Hinata. I think they have always been there," said Naruto.
Naruto looked at Hinata and she was crying!
"What's wrong!? Did I say something wrong?" asked Naruto feeling bad.
"No...It's just I am so happy!" said Hinata smiling even though her tears flowed down her face.
Naruto leaned in and kissed Hinata. Their lips pressed together and they both began to blush like crazy. Hinata pressed herself even closer to Naruto. Naruto somehow managed to pull Hinata even in closer. Their bodies were pressed tight together. They started to kiss even faster and after awhile they broke away breathing heavily.
"Wow Hinata! I never knew you could kiss like that!" exclaimed Naruto.
Hinata looked at her feet and started to giggle. Naruto lifted her chin so she was looking at him. She started to blush like mad! Naruto's face where inches away from her own.
"Please stop looking down. I like looking you eyes," said Naruto.
Naruto went to kiss Hinata again but stopped for some reason. Suddenly kunai rained down at Naruto and Hinata. Naruto tackled Hinata out of the way.
"What the hell!?" said Naruto in rage.
Very different looking ninja appeared in front of Naruto. Naruto noticed there foreign head bands and realized who they were.
"You ninja from the Hidden Blade!" exclaimed Naruto.
"So you are somewhat intelligent."
The voice came from somewhere in the trees near Naruto. A giant man in armor jumped down with a large crash. The man had a huge sword on his back. The sword seemed to glow a light yellow color.
"So you are the nine tailed jinuriki huh? Well before I kill you I shall introduce myself. I am Haru. I am going to be the last thing you see as you die boy!" yelled the giant armor freak as he charged towards Naruto with his blade.
Naruto dodged Haru's attacks with ease. At one point Haru slashed with a force that cut a tree clear in half.
"Seems you're the one who lacks intelligence!" taunted Naruto.
Suddenly a huge beam of light struck Naruto and he hit the cold forest floor. As Naruto hit the ground he coughed up a large amount of blood. Hinata tried to help Naruto but she was kept busy with the small squad of ninja Haru brought for backup. Haru walked over to Naruto and lifted his sword in the air with intent to finish off his prey. Haru's blade came down but where screams should have sounded there was a large thud.
"So you have arrived," said Haru disinterested.
Flayer stood with Haru's blade in between his hands. He was looking at Haru with a face that even demons would find terrifying.
"I won't let you hurt my friend!" screamed Flayer as he knocked Haru's sword out of his hand.
Naruto was shocked and amazed at the same time. He couldn't believe Flayer was at his aid and actually calling him his friend.
"So you are actually friends with this scum Flayer? Well what a pity. That just means I have to kill you now!" said Haru as he stuck his fist out and a giant beam of light shot out of his knuckles.
Flayer dodged the giant beam and kicked Haru square in the chest and caused Haru to fly in to a nearby tree. Flayer looked around and saw Hinata surrounded by Hidden Blade ninja!
"Get away from her! Oblivion Style: Whirlwind!" screamed Flayer as he jumped in the air and created a huge gust of wind in his hand. The winds suddenly busted out of Flayers hands and swept up the ninja that where near Hinata. The ninja where sent flying into the air. They eventually landed but were unconscious.
"So you managed to take out my backup huh? No matter. They were useless to begin with," said Haru as he removed himself from the tree Flayer had kicked him into.
Hinata ran over to Naruto and helped him up. Naruto wasn't injured to badly and walked over to Flayer; who was now facing Haru.
"Why Haru!? Why attack Naruto and Hinata!? They weren't a threat!" yelled Flayer now getting extremely angry.
"They are Leaf Ninja. They are our enemy just like all other ninja. Perhaps you forgot that Flayer! What made you change! You are my ally! Start acting like it!" scream Haru.
"No. I realized now that not all ninja are evil. Master Hakai was wrong! We can be friends with these ninja!" said Flayer.
"If you decide to take the Leafs side you will die when the attack begins Flayer!" said Haru almost pleading with Flayer.
"Attack?" asked Flayer.
"The Third Buredokage has plans to attack the Leaf Village at noon tomorrow," responded Haru.
"No. He can't! These ninja aren't evil!" yelled Flayer thinking of all the ninja he had met from the Leaf.
"We will wipe out the Leaf Village and begin our rule over the Hidden Leaf," said Haru cold heartily.
"I won't let you harm them Haru! So if you cherish your life walk away," said Flayer with a serious tone.
"I will kill you Flayer. Hakai doesn't need you anymore!" yelled Haru as he picked up his sword from the ground and charged at Flayer.
Flayer drew his sword and clashed blades with Haru. They matched each other's blows and every time there swords made contact the collision made a sound similar to thunder.
"Hold on Flayer! Ill back you up!" yelled Naruto as he activated Sage Mode and ran into battle.
Haru saw Naruto coming and shot a beam of light at him. Naruto jumped in the air and dodged the attack. Flayer saw an opening a stabbed Haru in the arm causing him to yell in pain. Haru jumped back and built a gap between Flayer and Naruto.
"Ok Naruto I have an idea. Create some clones," said Flayer with an almost mischievous look on his face.
Naruto did what Flayer said and created three clones. Flayer charged in with the clones Naruto had made. Haru saw the attack coming and slashed at Flayer with his sword. Flayer ducked under the giant sword and punched Haru under the chin causing him to fly into the air.
"Ok now!" yelled Flayer.
The clones that had followed Flayer launched into the air and delivered separate blows causing Haru to fly into the sky even further. Flayer used the still in air clones as a stepping ladder and flew up above Haru.
"Ok Naruto lets do this!" screamed Flayer as Naruto appeared next to Naruto with incredible speed.
"Take this! Twin Draco Barrage!" yelled Naruto and Flayer as they both hurled powerful kicks into Haru's chest causing his armor to break and send him flying into the forest floor.
Flayer and Naruto walked over to the lifeless body of Haru.
"What do we do now Flayer?" asked Naruto.
"We prepare for war against the Hidden Blade," said Flayer with tears in his eyes.
