Naruto sat behind a sheet of moss as he watched the whole situation on the beach unfold. It hadn't gone according to plan but Hinata's proformance had been a pleasant surprise and he was truly happy for her.

In Naruto's head Inner Hinata was on cloud nine.

'See! I told ya she'd figure it out didn't I' she was shouting as she did a victory dance and filled the air with confetti. Naruto couldn't help smirking as he listened to Inner Hinata go into a rant about how great her outer (and by extention herself) was.

While Inner Hinata ranted Naruto keep an eye on the situation on the beach. Outer Hinata was being seen to by Sakura and Ino while the rest of the group waited their turn an whining about having to be saved by an invilid.

Naruto let a quiet chunkle escape as he looked down the beach to check on his other friend and paused. The giant croc-thingy was was getting up slowly.

The creature was known as a Postasucus and were relatives of crocodiles. With their thick, armoured skins, large muscles and strong bones they could take poundings many time more terrible then the one Outer Hinata had just dish out. Heck this one probibly thought it just got a post workout massage to the head an shoulders. Naruto could see the Postasucus's eyes but if the amount of bloodlust he was scenesing was any indication then this was not good.

"OH SHIT!!!"

'And then she hi.....hun? what is it?' Inner Hinata thought at Naruto.

'MAJOR!! miss calculation thats what!' Naruto thought back as he tried to QUICKLY formulate a plan of action. Inner Hinata was confused and started looking through the memories that Naruto had brought with him for an explination but couldn't find one.

'Okay I'm completely lost here' she thought back.

'Just shut up and hang on tight' was Naruto's reply as he made a cross shaped hand sign.

=================================================================

On the beach Hinata was laying between Sakura and Ino while they fixed up her arms an legs and saviored her victory over such a powerful foe.

"Almost done Hinata" Sakura said as she wrapped a bandage around Hinata's right forearm. Hinata wondered how often she had to do this if Sakura aways carried this much gauzse, tape and Peroxide with her.

"You must've hit him pretty hard with that last attack if the Chakra backlash was strong enough to put this many hair-line fractures into that body Hinata" Ino said from where she was wraping up Hinata's left shin.

"Ano, could you please just hurry up,' Hinata was feeling down right blind without her Byakugan to give her a nearly unlimited view of the battlefield and with creatures this dangerous around she wouldn't feel safe aguin until she was back on her feet.

"Come on Hinata, whats making you so nerves when you just flattened the largest crocodile I've ever seen?" Ino asked as she tied the last bandage and run some healing green Chakra through Hinata's shin.

"Um, well you see something has Inner Naruto on HIGH alert, something scary enough to get him to focus on it entierly and he hasn't taken the time to show me the memories of whatever it is yet." answered Hinata. Sakura looked up at the mention of Inner Naruto.

"Wait just one rice pick'en moment here." Sakura said "Scenes when does Naruto have an Inner and an outer?"

Hinata was loosing patience was the little game of twenty questions and let the two medics have it.

"listen up you two.' she said 'heal NOW!, talk LATER!!" Ino and Sakura were shocked to hear Hinata snarl like that at ANYONE, let alone people she considered friends.

Ino started to ask what Hinata's problem was when an earthshacking roar riped acrossed the beach. Everyone's head instantly located the source of the sound and paled at the sight of the croc-thingy croaching, ready to charge at the first person to move.

=================================================================

The Postasuchus's mind was completely empty now.

No thoughs of tactics.

No target Identifaction.

Hell it wasn't even paying attention to the world around it.

All that was desenible to the creature was the red hase in it's vision as it looked at the lavander, purple and pink blobs in front of it and the command EAT NOW that was repeatting in it's head aguin and aguin and aguin.

As it launched forward to follow the command it didn't notice the two blurs that came in from the side or hear the full shout as they connected with it.

"O-ama -esan-on!"
