Issues
It had been two weeks since the start of Naruto's training, and he was improving greatly, also his attitude was getting better. It was kind of hard to not jump around screaming or eating noodles each five minutes of his existence, but he was improving none the less.
"Nii-san, where are we going?" Asked Naruto, they left the village in the morning and had been walking for hours.
"I told you before we were going to Konoha, didn't I? I'm going to try and get the scrolls left for you" Said Itachi looking at Naruto.
"Right, do you think we can go buy some clothes? These are getting small and is hard to move" said Naruto while raising his arms to prove his point. Itachi nodded and started planning inside his head the infiltration, it was going to be easy, and he just needed to go in and out of the Hokage's office, yep nothing big.
"By the way Nii-san, I already mastered the training you gave me, I can run in the water without wasting too much chakra and I already can do the Replacement jutsu and the Wind Breaker Jutsu" said Naruto with a big smile on his face, it was actually a nice accomplishment for an eight years old kid.
"You still need to train some more before you can try the Air Dragon, and your taijutsu still lacks some work" Itachi said. Five hours later they were outside of Konoha
"Nii-san, this is the wall in the west of the village right?" asked Naruto watching his surroundings
"Ok Naruto, you will stay here ok? Just hide yourself and mask your chakra as I taught you and you will be fine" Said Itachi disappearing in a swirl of leaves
"Man, he needs to teach me that" said Naruto to himself before hiding in some empty trunks near the place.
Meanwhile in the hospital, Kasumi was trying to convince the doctor to let Hinata stay for a little longer.
"Please doctor, just one more day, that is all I ask, I need to find a place where she can stay away from his father, do you know what he will do to her? Probably put the caged bird seal and kill her in the spot!" Kasumi was desperate trying to get the doctor agree.
"Kasumi-san believe me when I said I would love to let her stay, but I can't, there was some kind of conflict with some Iwa-nins, and we need the rooms, I just can't allow it, please understand" said the doctor before running to the CCU.
Kasumi went to Hinata´s room, once there they prepared everything and then got out of the hospital.
"Kasumi nee-san, I'm scared, I don't want to go home yet. Father will put that thing in my forehead and probably kill me without a second thought" Said Hinata with tears running through her cheeks.
Kasumi looked at Hinata and quickly embraced her while caressing her hair.
"Don't worry Hinata-sama I will not let him hurt you. I'm going to find a way to get you away from the compound even if it is the last thing I do in my life" said Kasumi while tightening the embrace
Meanwhile….
Itachi was running away from some Ambu that spotted him while getting out of the Namikaze state, with a big scroll in his back.
"These guys won't just don't give up? I'm getting tired of all this running away" said Itachi while turning in a corner and bumped into someone.
"You! You are the Uchiha that murdered his own clan and leave behind his little brother just to torture him" said a woman with shock in her face, she was about to scream for help when he put his hand over her mouth.
"Would you please shut up? I really need to get this to my little brother; it's his after all, Kasumi-chan" Said Itachi while giving a look to the woman that said he really needed to get out of the place.
Kasumi just slapped his hand and gave him a glare, they went together to school and she had a kind of-not too much-sort of a crush on him, but she would not admit him as she would never admit that the news of his sins caused her a big shock.
"You brother is in this village smart-ass, why would I believe you when you betrayed your own clan?" Said Kasumi while trying to hide Hinata behind her.
"He is not my blood brother, but I rescued him a while ago, and I think you know him too as he was hated by the entire village for something he didn't do" answered Itachi while trying to escape from the place and just as he was about to jump into the forest Kasumi stopped him.
"You mean you were the one that kidnaped Naruto from the village? Why would you do that? You are just a heartless bastard, I don't understand…" Kasumi could not continue as she pondered something.
This man has just slaughtered his entire clan but had saved a boy that was more likely to die in the village and, even if he would turn later against the village, it was better than staying to get beaten to death. It didn't make sense why he saved that boy or why he spared his little brother, but maybe she could take that to her advantage, if he could save one then why not save another?
Itachi was hurt by Kasumi's words, he was hurt because knew that everybody in the village had the same kind of thoughts about him, even if they didn't realize that they were saved that same night.
Kasumi saw the expression in Itachi eyes as he remembered that day with sorrow; she took this as her cue to proceed with her plan.
" I don't know what happened with you and your clan, but I know that if you spared two lives then that means you are hiding something big and that you are not bad as people thins, so I will give you just one chance. Hear me out and help me with this and I will see that you get out of here without problems, deal?" said Kasumi while looking to Itachi's eyes.
"I would just knock you out and leave this place, so why should I hear you out" asked Itachi not liking where was this going.
"Because you wouldn't hit me, something is telling me that you wouldn't attack me. I mean yea you killed a clan but there must be a reason for everything you do, and your face is not that of a serial killer that just goes by murdering people and laughing as a madman, so will you please help me out? I can sense the Ambu approaching very fast" Said Kasumi with decision in her voice.
"Ok just what do you want me to do, and be quick please I really need to get out of here" answered Itachi.
"Take this girl with you, her name is Hinata, actually she can't go to her house because his father would most likely kill her and I was trying to think something out to get her out of the Hyuga state" Hinata hide herself behind Kasumi.
"The girl is afraid and you should really talk this with her you know? You can't just push her out like that, and is not like she is going to accept right away" Said Itachi with a smart-ass attitude.
Kasumi kneeled down and pated Hinata's head, "you are going to be alright Hinata, is not like we won't see each other again, besides think of it, you can get away from that hell hole you call home and not only that but you are going to be alone with Naruto Uzumaki" At the name of the blonde, the girl quickly perked up and looked at Itachi.
"I-is N-Naruto-kun really with y-you?" asked the shy Hinata staring at Itachi's eyes
"Yes, he is actually waiting for me outside the village, I was just going to take some of his things with me but I didn't expect to be getting him another kind of "gift" in the process" Said Itachi while rubbing his temples.
Hinata looked once more to Kasumi and then nodded, she gave a hug to Kasumi and then walked to Itachi. Itachi couldn't believe his luck and just bent down to pick her up.
"I can't believe I'm doing this" Itachi looked exasperated and after giving a nod to Kasumi he left.
Just as this happened Kasumi saw that the Ambu team was coming and what caught her attention was that it was Hyuga squad.
"Kasumi, What are you doing here? I thought you were with Hinata-sama" said the man while his teammates looked around.
"I was, but I had a run with Itachi…but before you start asking questions just hear me out and then you can arrest me for letting a missing nin escape "said Kasumi with fear of the outcome of this.
The Ambu squad nodded before staring at her while waiting for the explanation, just as Kasumi was telling them what happened and what she had done to Hinata she feared they would just kill her in the spot.
"You must understand Koro, Jin, Nakamaru; she was going to die by her own father hands" Said Kasumi with tears running through her cheeks
Jin put his hand in Kasumi's shoulder and nodded, "I know this was not easy, and to be honest I'm kind of relieved that Hinata-sama got away from her fate" said Jin and then turned to the squad.
"Ok guys this is what happened, we found Kasumi Hyuga unconscious and apparently the Uchiha got away with our heiress, is that clear?" The team nodded in approval as neither of them wanted to see they loved Hinata death by Hiashi's Hands.
Jin turned to Kasumi and knocked her out; Nakamaru picked her up and took her to the hospital.
Later while reporting to the Hokage…
"It looks like the intruder took the heiress with her sir; we couldn't track him after making sure that Kasumi was ok" Said Jin.
"Ok, thanks for the report" said Sarutobi while thinking what had just happened, he knew the truth behind the actions of Itachi and the massacre of the Uchiha clan, but he could not understand why the decision to take Naruto and now Hinata with him.
Meanwhile in the Hyuga compound…
"Hiashi-sama I have come to report the kidnap of our heiress Hinata Hyuga" Said Jin while bowing down to the clan head.
Hiashi quickly stood up and asked (demanded) for explanations of the events.
"And when we arrived he was not around anymore but Kasumi had very bad injuries, the doctor said that she probably tried to fight the Uchiha but was totally overwhelmed" Hiashi just nodded at this information.
"I wouldn't be surprised as she is just a branch member, but that useless daughter of mine could have at least tried to escape. This only proves that she must be found and placed in the branch family as soon as possible" Hiashi turned around and started to walk away to the Hokage's tower.
Meanwhile, outside the village…
"Naruto, you can come out now" said Itachi while putting down Hinata and the scroll he was carrying.
Naruto got out and stared at Itachi, then to Hinata and once more to Itachi.
"You got problems? Why is Hinata here with us? It seems like every time you try to escape the village you have to get an extra souvenir or you are not pleased with yourself" said Naruto while giving Itachi a funny look.
Hinata couldn't believe her luck; she was so shocked to even say hi. She was going to travel with her crush and never go back to the Hyuga compound and the best of all was that there was not pink haired banshee to hit and scream at her Naruto again.
"Hinata? Why are you here? Won't your dad get worried?" Asked Naruto.
"He won't but he would probably hunt her down" answered Itachi and Hinata just looked down with some tears in her eyes, Naruto saw this and tried to comfort her so he did what he thought best at the moment.
Hinata went from sadness to pure bliss as her crush embraced her while trying to comfort her, just as her brain was about to shut down she remembered that they would be together a lot and with no other girls around, she had to get over that shyness if she wanted a chance with him.
Shaking her head to get over the dizzy feeling of passing away she quickly put her arms around him and buried her face in his chest.
Naruto (as oblivious as he his) was happy that the hug had worked to make Hinata feel happy, he didn't had friends in the village but she was always nice to him in the few time they exchanged words.
"Naruto, I know you like having her like that but we need to get out of here. I don't want to deal with the hunter nin squad. I will tell you what happened later and the reasons that made me take her with me" said Itachi teasing Naruto a bit.
Naruto and Hinata quickly parted as if they were on fire. Hinata blushing like only she could, and Naruto with a faint tint of red in his cheeks.
Itachi then took them and the scroll and disappeared from the area leaving no trace behind.
And this is the third chapter, I tried to make it a bit longer, also I'm sorry for the late update, my computer got some problems and I don't like taking it to service because they tend to format your disk and delete everything, so I had to repair it myself and the parts took a while to get, but I have my computer again and everything is good, also starting from this chapter I'm going to update weekly as I have a challenge with a friend, so the chapters from now on will have at least 10,000 words.
I hope you liked this chapter, please R&R
