Hinata Chronicles Chapter 23: Meeting of Destiny

After getting to Suna, Hinata, Naruto, Kakashi and Temari met up with Baki who explained what happened to Gaara and brought them to Kankurō who was injured by a member of the "Akatsuki", then they were almost attacked by the elder known as Chiyo but Naruto blocked her attacks from hitting Kakashi. Sakura then helped cure Kankurō of the poison he was injected with. Kakashi then summoned his ninja hound to try and find where Gaara went by a scrap of clothing that Kankurō got. The next day one of Kakashi's dogs "Pakkun" found out that there base is in The Land of Rivers, and the team prepares to leave, but then suddenly Chiyo comes off a building above them and soon enough they were off to confront the "Akatsuki". Now the five are leaping through the trees, on there way to the Land Of Rivers.

"Naruto. . . can I ask you something?" Sakura asked out of the blue as the five were leaping through the trees.

Naruto stared at her, wondering what she was going to ask.

"Since when did the Akatsuki started to target you?"

Hinata gasped when Sakura asked him that. "They've been targeting him?" She thought.

Naruto hesitated and was quiet for a moment. "I don't know. . ."

Kakashi explained that two years ago, two members of the Akatsuki infiltrated Konoha to capture Naruto and now its been three years since then they started to move again.

"Why did they wait three years?" Sakura asked

"Yeah, why now?" Hinata asked. "I can't believe that Naruto went through all that." She thought.

Kakashi then explained that he thinks that it was cause Jiraiya was around so they couldn't get the chance to attack, Chiyo then came into the conversation by saying information about capturing 'Tailed Beasts'.

"A 'Tailed Beast'?"

"The Nine-Tailed Fox inside of Naruto." Hinata thought.

Chiyo then explained what 'Tailed Beasts' were and there are a total of nine of them, and that every nation wanted them for military uses

"Nine! So that means that there are other like Naruto and Gaara! Still I can't that people would use them as weapons." Hinata thought.

Soon the five came to a clearing.

"Everyone halt!" Kakashi called out, which everyone listened, as in front of them was a man in a black cloak with red clouds on it, also wearing a Konoha forehead protector with a carved horizontal scratch through it.

"Who?" Sakura asked.

"Right from the beginning." Kakashi said.

"This guy. . . Those eyes." Chiyo said.

"He must be. . ." Hinata muttered.

"Itachi. . . Uchiha!" Naruto said.

"Itachi. . . Ho, this is. . . The child who killed his entire family?" Chiyo said

"Yeah, mainly because he was force to do it!" Hinata angrily thought.

"It has been a while. . . Kakashi. . . Naruto." Itachi said.

"You bastard. . . Not just me, but even Gaara? I'LL BEAT YOU ALL!" Naruto screamed..

Itachi then started to move his hands.

"EVERYONE DON'T-" Kakashi was about to yell out when he suddenly stopped talking and just stared into space.

"KAKASHI-SEN-" Sakura and Naruto were about to say when also they stopped talking and stared into space.

"No, it can't-" Chiyo said when she suddenly stopped talking and just stared into space.

"YOU! WHAT DID YOU-" Hinata was about to say when she also suddenly stopped talking and stared out into space.

"Hmp. . . Fools." Itachi said as walked over to Naruto. "Now for the Nine-Tails."

Suddenly Hinata's clothes started to glow within a bright light blinding Itachi. The next thing Itachi knew, Hinata was in front of Naruto with her Keyblade in her hand and Byakugan activated.

"If you want Naruto you'll have to go through me!" Hinata demanded. "Whew. . . I don't know how, but I think something has made me immune to genjutsu. I'll have to talk to Xion about it after this." Hinata thought

Itachi went back to where he was and stared at her, intrigued by her abilities. "Very well. . . Come!"

"Wait! . . . Before we begin, there's something I got to ask and only you know."

". . . and what would that be, young Hyuga?"

". . . The truth. . . I know the real reason behind the massacre."

Itachi stared at her, wide-eyed at what she said. "You mean!"

"Yeah. . . You did it because you were ordered to!"

Itachi leaned his head down with a depressed look on his face. "I see. . ."

"So it is true! The Uchiha Clan planning a coup-"

"Hyuga girl, that's enough." Itachi called out. "Does anyone else know?"

"No. . . just me and friend Xion. But we promised not to tell until the time was right."

"Good, at least the Uchiha Name's reputation can be preserved."

"Yeah. . ."

"Now that we got settled with. . . Come!" Itachi said as he prepared to fight.

Hinata simply nodded her head.

Itachi begins the fight with a Great Fireball jutsu, which Hinata counters with Firaga.

"Strong. . . Nothing less of an Uchiha." Hinata thought.

During the explosion, Itachi slips behind her and attempts to use the Phoenix Sage Fire jutsu, but Hinata dodges it and swings at him with her Keyblade. This Itachi turns out to be a Shadow Clone. As the smoke clears, Hinata notices two more Itachi's.

"Is that all you got?" The Itachi's asked.

As Hinata goes to attack one, she thinks the situation over again and fires two Ragnaroks at the two. As Ragnarok collides with them, they both begin to expand and explode, exposing them both as Shadow Clones.

"Time to end this!" Hinata yelled out.

Using her Byakugan, Hinata sees another Itachi approaching behind her, and she infuses her Keyblade with her chakra to perform her Gentle Fist: Lion's Raid technique hitting Itachi in the stomach sending him backwards, leaving a trail in front of him.

The two were panting heavily from the intense battle they had both of them being almost out of breath, when Naruto had broke out of Itachi's genjutsu when he saw Hinata and Itachi, both out of breath.

"HINATA!" Naruto called out as he went over to her. He then stared at Itachi as he just stood there. "Hinata! Are you alright!" he asked her.

"Yeah. . . I'm alright. . ." she said as she was panting for her breath.

Naruto look at Itachi and smirk at Hinata. "Ready to end this fight?"

Hinata got up on feet and smiled. "Yeah"

Itachi then got and stared at the two wondering what they were going to do.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he made the hand sign, soon enough there were 10 perfect Naruto copies.

Hinata then started to prepare a "Ragnarok" to the point where the orbs started to appear when the Naruto clones started to go to each of the orbs and admit some of there charka to the point where each of the orbs became an individual Rasengan.

"RAGNAROK-" Hinata yelled.

"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as Hinata fired out the newly dubbed "Ragnarok-Rasengan"

Itachi tried to avoid the attack but it ended following him and hitting him in the stomach as it cause a large explosion that left a crater in its place. At that moment, Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo broke out of the genjutsu.
