Hinata Chronicles Chapter 31: Theories and Extractions

"That's Chromoruxia's plan?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah. . . He said that was his goal when. . . you know. . . the Fox took over. . ." Hinata said.

"Yamato, did Xion tell you the plan that the original Organization had?" Yamato asked. "I heard about the information on the Heartless and Nobodies. . . but I don't know of the plan that they used to create their Kingdom Hearts, mind telling us how they did it?"

Hinata nodded her head. "Of course. I'll discuss it as we go after Sai and Chromoruxia, come on we better get going!"

"Yeah!" Naruto said.

The four then started to dash through the trees as Hinata started to explain the original Organization's plan.

"Alright from what Xion told me about the original Organization's plan, they had used keyblade wielders to destroy Emblem Heartless."

"Emblem Heartless? What's the difference?" Naruto asked.

"Emblem Heartless are the species of heartless that have that symbol on them. You know, the one Orochimaru's heartless had when you me and Sasuke destroyed him. They're the ones that releases the heart of a person that a heartless has taken. They're also the more colorful ones"

"And the other species?" Yamato asked.

"The other type are Pureblood Heartless, they are made from pure darkness like the ones that Akatsuki member we fought summoned. They're usually ink-black in color."

"So why exactly did they want keyblade wielders to destroy these Emblem Heartless?" Sakura asked.

"The reason that Sakura is that they wanted the hearts, they used keyblade wielders as multiple heartless were released into multiple worlds. They collected the hearts and brought them all together to make Kingdom Hearts."

"I see. . ." Yamato said.

"All those people. . ." Sakura said, depressed at what she heard.

"If that Organization plans the same thing I'm gonna smash them all no matter what!" Naruto yelled.

"Calm down Naruto, lets finish this mission and find Sai." Yamato calmly said.

"Yeah, we'll worry about their plan later." Hinata said.

The four traveled until they saw a gruesome sight. . . Sai's body hung at the neck to a branch of a tree. . .

"My god. . ." Sakura said as she covered her mouth.

"W-what does this mean?" Naruto asked, surprised at this.

"You've done it now Chromoruxia. . ." Yamato thought.

Hinata then went over to the body and examined it. "This really isn't Sai. . . it might have been Kabuto's jutsu. . . but to use bodies like this. . . it's sickening. . ."

"Damn. . . I guess they know we're tailing them. . ." Naruto said.

"Yeah. . . From here on, we must be careful, are we clear with that?" Yamato asked seriously.

The three nodded their heads in agreement as they left the body. As they were crossing a lake. . .

"Naruto. . . Hinata" Sakura started to say.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked.

"What's up?" Hinata asked.

"This time. . . We will with Sasuke, the three of us, together. . ."

"I know. . ." Naruto plainly said.

"No question about it." Hinata said.

Meanwhile with Sai, Kabuto, Chromoruxia . . . And two other but their faces were covered in shadows as they sat on a snake statue.

"You're late." One of the voices said.

"Chromoruxia. . . Did you forget about how you said you were going to teach us something new this afternoon. . .?" The other one said.

"You fail to mind your mouth, as always. . ." Kabuto said harshly.

"Calm down you two. . . Sasuke, Ausxeks you will get your training." Chromoruxia said as Xotbaku came out of portal. "Ah Xotbaku, right on time. Take Ausxeks and start training without me, I'll be there in a minute."

"Yes my lord. . ." Xotbaku said as he bowed his.

One the figures then opened his eyes to reveal what looked like a yellow Sharingan with four tomoe seals.

Back with Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Yamato and his wood clone as they got to a grassland with dead-like trees standing in front of a large boulder.

"Here huh. . .?" Yamato said.

"The entrance is right below that rock formation in front of us." The clone said.

"Under these rocks. . . Sasuke is waiting. . ." Naruto said.

". . .Yeah." Sakura said.

Hinata nodded her head as she took a deep breath. "I sense a battle coming. . . and its going to be big. . ."

"Ok. . . Then let's go." Naruto seriously said.

Back with an weakened Sai and Kabuto. . .

"I suggest you rest. . . After what Lord Chromoruxia did, I would take it easy." Kabuto said.

Sai was panting heavily. "I can't believe he did that. . ." he thought.

*Flashback*

(After talking with Sasuke)

"Pardon Sasuke for his attitude, it's just the way he is." Chromoruxia said as he opened a portal of darkness.

"And what would that be for?" Sai said giving a fake smile.

Chromoruxia then grabbed the back of his head as he raised the other hand while it started to glow black. "The coming of a new member. . ." he whispered as he then jabbed his hand into the back of Sai, the hand going into him as it was like water.

"What the-? What is he?" Sai thought as he felt Chromoruxia grab something and started to pull it.

"Welcome Saïx. . ." Chromoruxia said as he pulled out what seemed to be another Sai except with shoulder long-hair as he then threw him into the portal as it then closed and Sai fell to the ground. "The members back at our base will get you accustomed. . ." he then smiled as he called for Kabuto.

*Flashback end*

"Yeah. . . anyway here's your room." Kabuto said as he opened the door and placed Sai on the bed. "Here, take these pills. They'll help you recover from the extraction of your nobody."

"So that's what he took out of me. . ." Sai thought.

Back with Naruto, Hinata, Sakura and Yamato as they started sneak into the base.

"Just like I thought, seems their hideout is surrounded by rock. . ." Yamato said.

"That's nothing, I'll just bust it open with my Rasengan! Naruto said.

"Wait Naruto, if you do that they'll find out that we're here." Hinata said.

Sakura nodded in agreement.

"Hinata's right, infiltration always requires silence. . ." Yamato said.

"then how do we. . .!" Naruto was about to ask.

Yamato then did a wood-style jutsu in a small crack, and created a small hole.

"Well at least we've succeeded with the infiltration part." Sakura said.

"We'll first look for Sai." Yamato said as he started to concentrate. "This way."

After a bit of sneaking. . .

""All clear. . . let's move." Yamato said.

The four were rushing through the base.

"Just a little further." Yamato said as he got to a door and started to open it. "And look who we have here." Yamato said as he saw Sai in the room, resting on the bed. The four then entered the room.

"The Hokage-controlled Anbu, impressive as always to think that fake corpse wouldn't fool you. . ." Sai said as he got up, giving a fake smile.

Hinata then looked at him. . . and felt something different about. "Something's missing. . . but what?"

"YOU! WHY DID YOU BETRAY US!" Naruto yelled, grabbing his collar.

"You shouldn't make too much noise here I'll mean trouble." Sai said with the fake smile.

"WHY YOU!"

"Naruto!" Sakura seriously said.

After a brief while Naruto let his collar go and turned away.

"Here. . . we found this. . . It's yours I believe?" Sakura said, giving him the picture book.

"Thank you." Sai plainly said.

"Danzō gave you orders, didn't he? He's trying to ally with Orochimaru/Chromoruxia, isn't he? So what's he plotting?" Sai frowned.

"He's plotting Operation: Destroy Konoha, Take Two, isn't he?" Yamato asked.

Sai smiled again.

"No…you're-" Sakura started to say. . .

"I should've figure. . ." Hinata thought staring Sai with a glare.

Sai shrugged. "Well…now that you've finally figured me out. . . seems my mission is officially a failure. But since I can't take you all on, and since you've guessed so much already, there's no point in hiding the truth any longer." "You are correct. The plan was to get rid of Konoha, as we know it."

There was silence.

"My assignment was to find an opportunity to approach Orochimaru, and entice him to help destroy Konoha."

Yamato pointed a kunai at the ROOT member. "Keep talking."

"What more is there to know?" Naruto burst out. "He's-"

"Do not rush to judge, Naruto, until you have allthe facts."

"He's right Naruto." Hinata said as she summoned her keyblade and pointed it at Sai. "Keep talking. . ."

Naruto stopped. "Alright Hinata. . ."

"I was ordered to secretly report Orochimaru's activities to Danzō…in short, to act as his spy."

"Enter into a conspiracy with Orochimaru, while playing him at the same time?" Sakura asked. "That's an extremely dangerous game. . ."

"Well," Sai said with a smile. "If Konoha did fall, we expected Orochimaru to betray us at some point, anyway, so. . . consider this way of maintaining the upper hand."

"So Danzō wants Konoha for himself," Sakura said.

"Indeed." Sai said.

"Damn. . ." Hinata thought.

"If Konoha falls, a lot of people will die!" Sakura shouted. "Do you have any idea of the consequences of what you're doing?"

Sai shrugged. "Well…I'm just following orders. . ."

"Sai. . ." Sakura said in disappointment. "How could you. . ."

"Oh," Sai said. "And 'Sai' is just a name I was given for the purposes of this mission. I'm actually nobody." He closed his eyes. "I am merely an extension of Danzō will. I myself do not exist. Therefore, it's useless to say anything to me."

"Your wrong. . ." Hinata said. "You're a human being! Not some tool for someone else's own use!"

Sai looked at Hinata. "Well I guess that's true now since my Nobody was ripped out of me. . ."

"What!" Hinata said, surprised at what he just said.

"Are you saying that-?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, Chromoruxia has already taken my nobody out and recruited him to his Organization." Sai said as he smiled. "I guess this proves I am human. . ."

The four then glared at him as Yamato ensnared him in a wooden prison and they took him out of the base.

"Unfortunately Sai. . ." Yamato said glaring at him. "We're going to have to leave you here with my clone watching you."

Naruto then slammed his fist into his palm. "Now to go get what we came here for. . ." He started to look back at the base. "It's time to rescue Sasuke!"

"And what if he doesn't want to be rescued?" Sai said. "I…actually met him. . . and his nobody"

Naruto and Hinata's eyes widened.

"Even though Sakura told me you think of him as a brother…Sasuke told me you mean nothing to him."

Sakura lower her head in shame.

"Do you still care so much?" Sai asked. "Why stand up to the likes of Orochimaru, only to save someone who doesn't want to be saved? Why? It's not like anyone's ordering you. . ."

Naruto looked up to the sky, wearing a smile. "When I first met Sasuke, I couldn't stand him," Naruto said. "But at the same time, I also really enjoyed being around him. . . after all, he really accepted me more than anyone else." He paused. "I'm doing this because Sasuke is my friend. . . and that's a bond that can never be broken."

Sai's eyes widened. "Bond. . . but still. . . to go against Orochimaru?"

Naruto grinned. "If he tears my arms off, I'll kick him dead. If he tears my legs off, I'll bite him dead. If he tears out my neck, I'll glare him dead. And if he pokes out my eyes, I'll curse him dead."

"And that's what I love about him," Hinata said. "His will to never give up." She then kissed him on the cheek. "No matter the situation, he will never give up on what he says."

"Thanks Hinata." Naruto said grinning before he got serious. "I'm going to Sasuke back from Orochimaru no matter what!"

Once my clone's ready we're going." Yamato said until the four sensed a presence coming when they quickly dodged multiple shrunken.

Kabuto then landed in front of Sai. "Sai. . . judging from your stiuation I suppose this means you were captured."

"That's it. . . I've had it with him!" Hinata thought as she quickly took a step and disappeared. . . right behind Kabuto.

"What the-?" Kabuto was about to say.

"SLEEP!" Hinata said as Kabuto and Sai then fell unconscious and started snoring. "Captain Yamato, can you please come over here and tie him up? He's really bugging me."

Everyone then had a sweat drop at what just happened.

"Uh sure." Yamato said as they went over to the sleeping Kabuto and Sai.

"Go Hinata!" Naruto said. "I'm really like your girl kit." The fox said.

"Thank you." Hinata said, blushing.

"A sleep spell. . . huh should've figured there would have been a spell for knocking others out as well." Sakura said with a sweat drop.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Hinata said as a clone of her appeared.

Sakura's jaw then to drop. "When did you learn that!"

Naruto and Hinata then chuckled.

"I thought it to her before we both left on our training journey." Naruto said.

"Trust me it was difficult but I can only make one stable clone." Hinata said.

"Me and Yamato's wood clone will keep an eye on these two. You guys go and find Sasuke." Hinata's clone said.

"Alright, lets go." Yamato said.

Naruto, Hinata and Sakura nodded their heads as they reentered the base.
