Chapter 5: That Moment When…
The day before the ceremony and rebellion, Kakashi paid Hiashi a visit like he planned. The former Copy-Ninja sat down on a cushion before Hiashi and Hizashi, calm as always.
Hiashi looked suspicious as always. "Why do you want to train Sasuke? Why a sudden interest in the boy?"
"Why? Well partly because I was a little hurt when you let Guy train Neji and not me. I thought you liked me better." He shrugged. Hiashi narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
"And partly because you'll be too busy training Hinata after the ceremony to bother with Sasuke. And I haven't done all that much in the past years. What do you have to lose? I need work and you need someone to teach Sasuke 'other skills'." He hinted.
Hiashi scowled but gave in. "Fine, but you will only train Sasuke if there is another Hyuga around."
"Still as untrusting as always, but I accept. Do you want me to tell Sasuke personally, or..?"
"I'll fetch him now," Hizashi spoke out, getting up and leaving the room for a moment. Kakashi and Hiashi stared at each other, not saying anything and waited. Until the sound of fast footsteps approached and the door slid open in a rush.
Sasuke stared at the same white-haired man Hinata bumped into that one time years ago. Sasuke was in shock.
"This guy is my new sensei?"
"'This guy'? I have a name, you know. It's Kakashi Hatake. I'll be giving you your first lesson tonight to test your current skill level. In fair warning, I was once a jonin so you better come at me with the intention to kill." He sighed, standing up now.
Sasuke continued to stare after him as his new sensei passed him and opened the door.
"I want you out on the training grounds at 6:30 sharp and you better not be a minute late…" Kakashi told Sasuke casually. "Or you'll experience quite a beat-down." He chuckled, closing the door behind him.
Sasuke stared at the door with a blank look on his face.
"Sasuke, there's something you should know about the way Kakashi fights Academy graduates like yourself…" Hiashi warned. "He won't take you seriously at all."
"What?!" Sasuke snapped, turning his head sharply to his Father. "Why not?!"
"You're children to him, no matter your skill level. Be careful." He warned.
Sasuke frowned in anger. "I won't let him make a fool out of me!"
…8PM…
Sasuke had never been so angry at another person in his whole life. He and a Hyuga Branch member Father sent had been at the training grounds since 6:25! He never even got to finish all of his dinner because he was in such a hurry!
"Where is he?!" Sasuke hissed under his breath. A vein was almost sticking out of his head in anger.
"Hey," the calm voice of his sensei came from above him. He glared upward. Sitting on a branch in a tree was Kakashi Hatake. And he was reading some book.
"You're late!" Sasuke roared.
"I was helping some old lady get her cat out of a tree. Then I remembered I left the fridge door open in my house and had to-"
"Lies!" Sasuke growled.
Kakashi closed his book and jumped down in front of Sasuke. Sasuke gave him a look over. His sensei was wearing an old Jonin Leaf uniform. It looked a little new though. He also had a headband covering his eye instead of his normal sash.
"Where'd you get all that?" Sasuke questioned.
"I've had this old thing in the closest for years, kiddo. It didn't feel right to test you without it." He shrugged.
"Okay, let's get started," He stated but pulled open his book again with one hand. "Come at me with the intent to kill."
"Put away that book then!" Sasuke shouted, feeling insulted. His anger rose.
"I think I can still beat you with it." His one eye scanned the book as he read.
Sasuke clenched his teeth together and made the first attack. He ran at the older man and punched out at his face. But Kakashi caught it with one hand, still focused on the book.
Sasuke twisted in an arch to give him a round-house kick but the man just pulled away. Annoyed at his failure, Sasuke tried again and again in a style that was both graceful but also kinda freestyle. However, none of it was Hyuga Taijutsu.
After thirty minutes of this fighting, Sasuke was getting tired. He was bruised up a bit while Kakashi was almost done with his book.
"…D…Damn." Sasuke panted. He went at him with everything but NOTHING was working! He had gotten close about once or twice but that was it.
"Impressive," Kakashi closed his book and looked at Sasuke. "You have talent in Taijutsu, but I can't help but notice that you didn't use any Hyuga-style Taijutsu."
Sasuke blinked in surprise. "I…I guess not. I didn't even notice." He recovered, standing up.
"Maybe that way of fighting isn't your own. Your body naturally does what it wants to and your instincts are to jump right into a fight. Not poise for a strike. Kinda like a few others I know." Kakashi told him. Sasuke frowned.
"I've been training the Hyuga style for years, though. It's my Clan."
"Maybe…"
"Kakashi-san!" the Branch member broke out and glared at the man. He shrugged.
What was all that about?
"I'd like you to come up with your own style of fighting and it seems your half-way there. Here." Kakashi threw Sasuke something in the dark and when he caught it, he looked down. It was a big black ball of twine.
"What in the world could I do with this?"
"This," Kakashi held out a smaller piece between his fingers and vanished. He reappeared in the sky and threw two kunai out on either side of a boulder. Kakashi landed beside Sasuke and pulled the string in his hand. The boulder was slashed into pieces.
Sasuke stared in awe as he finally noticed that the nearly invisible twine had wrapped around the boulder from the two kunai Kakashi threw.
"A-amazing." Sasuke looked at the big ball of twine in his hands. "I've only ever practiced some with kunai and shuriken."
"You can do a lot with that, Sasuke. Just practice. I believe you can come up with some good moves with that." The man placed a hand on the raven's head. Somehow, it felt like Kakashi believed in him.
Sasuke smiled for the first time at Kakashi. "I will, Kakashi-sensei!"
…Day of Rebellion and the Chakra Ceremony
Hinata and Sasuke walked with their Clan over towards the Hokage's building. It was the moment of their ceremony.
Hinata had already talked with Sasuke and Naruto about sneaking Naruto in and they willingly agreed. It was a relief to know that Neji was with them in this. He would cover for them when they snuck out.
Hinata was dressed as she had been in the Clan Gathering Party only nights before. Sasuke was in a black and blue haori that he had bought for himself.
As the Hyuga Clan headed for his office, Obito was actually walking downward into the darkness under the Leaf Village. He had learned these tunnels over the years and knew just where he was at all times. After all, his Sharingan would pierce through any shadows.
He stopped at a door decorated in chains and slowly opened it. Strangely enough, the room had a skylight and the sun's rays filled up the room. Obito walked inside and closed the door behind him. There was another person inside the room across from him. The man was thin and limp as a doll, as well as chained directly to the wall. He would need super-human strength to rip himself from the rocks behind him. As usual, his head was bent down ward like he was sleeping.
"I'm sorry I haven't been seeing you personally lately, sensei, but I'm sure you once being the Hokage, you'll understand how busy I am." Obito addressed the man as he calmly walked over.
The Fourth Hokage raised his head, looking up at Obito with a gaunt face. Even his normally joyful blue eyes were hollow.
"Obito…" He rasped.
"You sound thirsty." Obito stopped a foot from the man he once admired greatly.
"H…haven't you done enough to me? I'm already broken. I can hardly tell between reality and a dream anymore. What else do you want?" He whispered, and then coughed dryly.
"I want the tailed beast sealed inside you, sensei. I may be able to control the world's chakra but that means nothing to me if I can't have the tailed beasts. The Leaf is but a constellation prize in my real plans."
Minato's heart ached for his Village each time before, but now he was just too beaten down to forth the effort to care. That's how bad Obito's torture over the years had gotten. He used to think about Kushina and their son, Naruto, all the time as well but now they just seemed like a memory.
There's no hope in this world anymore, Kushina.
…
Hinata and Sasuke bowed before the Fifth Hokage in his office. Pain and Konan stood on each side of him like body guards. Five other Akatsuki members with bright orange hair and black piercing stood around the room as another security caution.
"Welcome, Hinata Hyuga and Sasuke Hyuga. I trust you're both ready to become full members of the Hyuga Clan?"
"Yes, Lord Hokage." The youngest members answered.
"Very well. Let us head out." Obito stood up, surprising the two Hyuga. They had always thought it was done in his office. Obito let out a chuckle after seeing their reactions.
"Not here, I'm afraid." The Fifth Hokage opened the door and stepped out of the room, followed by Konan, Pain, Hiashi, Hinata, and Sasuke. The walked down a flight of stairs until the Hokage opened a door off to the right.
Hinata tried hard not to gasp. The room they entered was HUGE! How on earth could a room this dynamically big possibly fit into the Hokage's tower?! The building was big, but not THAT big!
"The moment we passed through the door, we teleported to another building," the Fifth explained, "Teleportation seals that have been there since the Second Hokage's time. This room is typically used for the Second Part of the Chunin Exams."
But by the looks of it, the whole place hadn't been used in years. The floor was clean but the structures around the place were covered in dust.
Hinata stared at something in the dead center of the room. There was bluish-black orb the size of a human man resting in a square wooden stand. On the stand, there were many seals. Seals for chakra control and seals to make it lighter. Hinata couldn't read all of them though.
They walked right up to it and the Hokage turned to the two Hyuga again.
"Hinata Hyuga, you are about to become a full member of your Clan as well as the next official Clan Head. You will take over for your father, should he pass away. In his place, you will also become my advisor as well. Do you accept a life of loyalty and devotion to me and me alone?"
That's an odd thing to say… Hinata thought but spoke out, "I do."
"Then step forward." Obito took a step to the side and gestured with an open arm to the orb.
Hinata stepped forward until she was an inch from the orb. She reached out one cautious hand and touched the smooth surface of the orb.
It came alive and warm against her skin. She stared into the inner depths of it. Blue and white chakra spiraled every which way possible inside it. She felt warmth spread from her fingertips to her whole hand and soon after, her whole body. Even her hair felt a tingling.
But then it was over as she removed her hand from it. She hadn't realized she was holding her breath and relaxed. Her body may have gotten warm, but it was kind of difficult to walk properly back over to her Father. He flashed her a quick smile before looking back at Sasuke.
"…I do." Sasuke replied to the Hokage after having been asked the same question. He also stepped forward and touched the orb for a moment. And it too came alive then quiet when her brother pulled away.
"You both are now full Hyuga Clan members. May your following years grant you both happiness." Obito stated…though it was formal. It was something he had made up to be seen as a wise man beyond his years. But in truth, he was only thinking about how they could serve him in the future.
But the two Hyuga looked so glad that they didn't notice. In fact, only Hiashi noticed this.
"Also, about your party invite, Hiashi-san, we would be delighted to attend."
Hiashi smiled politely in response and bowed but in all honesty, he wanted to put all of them in the ground.
…
"Good bye you two! Have a wonderful time!" Kushina called from the door to her house. She was smiling and waving to the two kids in a black uniform walking away down the street. Naruto waved back nervously while walking beside a girl with long straight hair and shining sea-green eyes. But she took Naruto's other hand, frowning slightly.
"Look more natural!" The girl hissed under her breath, hardly moving her lips much.
"But this is so weird, Mom! I'm walking down to the Hokage building with my Mom that doesn't LOOK like my Mom!" Naruto's sweat dropped as he tried to lower his voice. "I can't even believe you have enough chakra to make a clone and a transformation jutsu."
"Shut up! My name is Maki Suzuki right now." She reminded him. "This is what all the ninja used to do to go undercover." The 'girl' informed him. "I'll bet my ninja tools that Obito will have someone watching us today. It's too important."
"It's still weird." Naruto mumbled as he blushed. His mom didn't even look like herself. She looked like one of Naruto's classmates.
"Remember the plan?"
"I know…But Mo…Maki, what will Hinata and Sasuke think of me? Will they ever trust me again?"
'Maki' stopped and gave him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry, Naruto, but there's just no other way. A ninja has to endure these pains- Physical and emotional."
"I'm not a ninja."
"You would have been…" She told him, walking with him again. "And you'll have to be to beat Obito and the rest of the Akatsuki."
"I get it." Naruto sighed.
…
A Hyuga Branch family looked the two students over with a scowl. "Who hired you?"
"Lady Hinata, sir. You see, Naruto-kun, Hinata-sama, and I were close Academy friends and she wanted us here today to celebrate her party together. But her Father would only allow us in as servers." 'Maki' explained to the man in her most innocent voice ever. It gave Naruto chills.
The man looked at them in disbelief, but 'Maki' continued, "If you don't let us in, Hinata-sama will be very sad and angry if she learns we were stopped at the gate."
He had a flicker of fear in his eyes and Naruto knew she had hit her mark. He had to say, he was impressed with him mom…even if she was currently a little black haired school-girl.
"V-Very well, go on in." He turned his back to the two and they went inside. It was easy to say that they were impressed by the preparations for Hinata and Sasuke Hyuga's party. Every member of the family was running around like crazy to get things done. Soon enough, Naruto and 'Maki' were pressed to the walls like shadows.
Until…
"You two! Get your asses in the kitchen! We need servers, STAT!" A Hyuga snarled at the startled kids. They slipped into the kitchen without another word.
They were quickly put on arrangement duty, which worked fine for them.
"You have the drug, right 'Maki'?" Naruto barely whispered in the loud kitchen.
"Yeah. I just need to get to the drinks they will be serving." 'Maki' replied.
Naruto nodded, spotting a cart full of assorted drinks being pulled by another waiter. Naruto lurched in front of the cart.
"What do you think you're doing?! There's not enough ice in those drinks! Do you want Lady Hinata, Lord Hyuga, and Lord Hokage to get dry throats?! Get back to cleaning the silverware!" Naruto snarled much like the other cooks in the kitchen.
Stricken with the very idea, the waiter dashed off…completely ignoring the fact that Naruto was 12 while he was probably 18.
Naruto wheeled the drinks around to the assorted table and 'Maki' dumped ice into each drink. Along with that ice was amounts of the undetectable drug. Naruto quickly stirred all of them to get 'the perfect coolness' for the guests. It was wheeled away by a server after that and the deed was done.
'Maki' slipped the remainder into her hidden pocket under her clothes just in case. Naruto and 'Maki' continued to prepare the food for real after that, giving themselves time to familiarize the place.
...
Soon it was time. Obito, the Akatsuki, Hiashi, Hinata, Sasuke, and the other Clan Heads that were invited as well, joined together in the room for a feast. Drinks were served and food was placed out. All in all, it looked like a normal expensive Clan Gathering with the Hokage…if Naruto didn't know otherwise.
Hinata and Sasuke hardly touched their food or drinks though. But Naruto knew that as long as they did drink something, they would also receive douses of the drug. It made Naruto's soul flinch inside.
But soon Hinata and Sasuke asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. The moment when they would sneak Naruto out to see the orb had come. Naruto gave the object in his black jacket a short squeeze before following with his part of their plan. But…
"Naruto-kun?"
Naruto turned to see his former classmate, Sakura Haruno, standing near him. She adjusted her fake glasses nervously.
"Sakura-chan? What are you doing here?"
"S-same as you…"
Naruto blinked. He seriously doubted that.
"Y-You're here working as a server, right? M-me too." She blushed.
"Oh. Yeah, I'm working here but only for today." He replied kinda thickly.
"Um…Naruto-"
"Look, Sakura. It's nice to see you, but I need a moment of fresh air, okay? The kitchen has been working me pretty hard," he hinted.
She looked even more embarrassed. "Oh, I'm sorry. I-I guess I'll see you later." She turned and walked off. Naruto took this chance and left the room quickly. He only had to walk a bit to find Hinata and Sasuke waiting for him around the corner.
"Thought you got lost," Sasuke taunted him. He just rolled his eyes.
"Sakura held me up."
"You ready, Naruto?" Hinata asked, excited but also nervous.
"Yeah. Let's go." Naruto nodded. Sasuke looked a little twitchy, but he looked at Hinata.
"So Neji-nii said this would work?"
"Of course it will work! Neji-nii-san is a genius!" Hinata whispered and darted off for the stairs. Sasuke followed behind her. None of them saw the shadow in Naruto's eyes.
…From the Shadows…
Anko, Kakashi, Neji, and Guy watched from secret hiding places inside the Hokage building. Kushina was still inside the party but they were observing the events as they unfold. All of them were dressed in their respective ninja outfits. They followed the three children in total silence.
…
Hinata, Sasuke, and Naruto crept into the room with the orb still in the middle of it. Naruto gazed at it in huge surprise. Wasn't it supposed to be the size of a fist? It's the size of an adult man!
"What's wrong, Naruto?" Sasuke asked, seeing his face.
"Er…It's just not what I expected it to be. That's all." Naruto inched closer with Hinata and Sasuke behind him.
"Well let's make this quick. We better do this and get back to the party. Or everyone will notice." Hinata warned.
Naruto and Sasuke nodded and all three stepped up to it.
"So what do I do?" Naruto asked.
"Touch it." They replied. They both took one of Naruto's hands and placed it on the orb. It began to come alive just like it had for them.
…At the Same Time…
"Girl, go find that spikey haired brat!" A Hyuga ordered the pink haired girl. She bowed and dashed off to look for him. Naruto hadn't come back yet and that worried her. She sprinted out of the room in search for him. She thought he was only taking a short break, so where was he?
Sakura checked every room she could but she was just about to give up when she came to a door with seals on the rim. Puzzled, she opened it and looked through it. But she was suddenly pulled into another space, much to her horror.
She reappeared in the same room as Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata. She let out a squeak as she saw a giant blue-black orb come alive. They didn't even notice her presence. She was shaking in shock and confusion. What is going on?!
As Naruto gazed into the chakra sphere, his other hand went into his pocket and clicked the object in it. When they took their hands off of his, he pulled away from the orb. Before the chakra died away, the inner parts of the orb began to turn golden-yellow chakra. Silence filled the room until-
*Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep*
Hinata looked around the room, trying to find the source of the noise. She spotted Sakura but she was too focused on the strange noise to care about the pink haired girl.
"Naruto, what's that in your pocket?" Sasuke asked, staring at the faint glow of red from his best friend's jacket. Naruto took a step back from them and pulled out a small black box with a single red light flicking on and off with each beep. It was a tracking device.
"W…Why do you have a tracking device?" Hinata asked. Naruto opened his mouth to say something but the words were hard to say.
"I…I have to save my family. I'm sorry." He stated before suddenly, the orb came alive again. It made a low humming noise as it did. Instead of blue chakra whizzing around in it, it spiraled golden-yellow chakra and electricity flew from it.
"What?! What's going on?!" Sasuke shouted, distracted by the orb behind him. Hinata wasn't focused on it. She was focused on Naruto. Tears of pain and realization swam in her eyes.
"You…you used us?! Why?!" She yelled over the growing noise.
"Oh dear, it seems you three somehow out-shorted the chakra sphere. Bothersome brats." Zetsu suddenly grew out of the ground only a yard away.
Before another word was spoken, the chakra from the orb burst out in a shockwave over the whole building. Hinata, Sasuke, and Naruto were thrown out onto their backs while Sakura was pushed with her back to the wall. Naruto turned to his friends and saw that the jutsu release drug was slowly taking effect. Hinata's face was turned to Naruto. Hurt and betrayal were still in her eyes and she whispered out, "How could you…Naruto?" before fainting into sleep.
Startled by this deeply, he struggled backward. The whizzing sound of shuriken came at him and he flinched, expecting the painful impact.
Only the sound of metal against metal came and when Naruto opened his eyes again, he saw Neji Hyuga poised defensively with a kunai in one hand in front of him. A man in green spandex and a woman with spiked purple hair were at Neji's side as well. Both had kunai as well.
"So more traitors come to the party. I'll make this quick. I'd hate to keep the Hokage waiting." A new voice spoke out. Sasori of the Red Sand landed beside Zetsu, his face as stoic as ever.
Sakura covered her mouth with her hands in horror as tears began to leak down her cheeks. She was utterly terrified.
The purple haired woman glanced at the shuriken on the ground and narrowed her eyes. "He's poisoned all his weapons. Don't let even one cut you." She announced.
"Right. Naruto, get up. We need you to help us escape." Neji nodded then glanced at his cousin's best friend.
"You won't be getting away…Sasori, handle things here. We're going to tell Obito about this." The white-side of Zetsu finished, morphing back slowly into the building floor. Sasori dashed straight towards the group as Naruto stood on his own feet.
"Get ready!" The woman shouted, holding her kunai tighter. But right as he was a foot away, Sasori smirked and vanished.
"Where'd he go?" The man asked, looking around.
Sakura's scream made all of them turn around. Sasori's kunai was poised to strike Sakura in the neck while he had one arm around the terrified girl. He was holding her hostage.
"Now I don't know what this little girl has to do with any of you, but move even a little and I'll-"
*Bam!*
Sasori was punched a whole five feet away, crashing right into the wall. Kushina Uzumaki was panting beside a trembling Sakura, with one balled fist out.
"Or you'll what?!" She growled, glaring.
"Mom!" Naruto gasped. He had never seen his mother like this before. A fighter…no. A ninja.
"N-Naruto. Thank god. I came here as soon as I got your location." She smiled briefly with relief. She had used so much of her stored up chakra that day, her muscles were twitching slightly. Sasori was shifting in the rubble, trying to get free.
"Kushina-san, what about Obito?" The woman asked.
"I activated it and they are all out. We have to go now, Anko." She told her.
"First things first, let's-"Anko had glanced at the orb and took a step towards it. But that was when Pain and his five minions appeared out of nowhere in front of the haywire chakra sphere.
"You all are going nowhere." Pain addressed the shocked group.
"What?! I saw you! You were knocked out! All of you!" Kushina gasped.
"Afraid not." Pain tensed and all of the five members behind him sprang forward to attack them.
Suddenly, large smoke bombs went off between the groups before an all-out battle had even begun. The minions stopped and looked through the smoke. The adults took that chance. Guy grabbed Naruto, Anko grabbed Neji, and Kushina grabbed Sakura.
As the smoke finally cleared, the Akatsuki were the only ones in the whole room besides an unconscious Sasuke and Hinata Hyuga.
…In the Hokage's Office…(Night Time)
Obito stared down the two Hyuga members with an anger he could barely suppress. After years of watching the Uzumaki family, they had managed to drug him and find the chakra sphere in one night. It was not only shameful, but outrageous. Now they probably have their chakra back and are planning their revenge. All because of two STUPID Hyuga! His fist tightened each time he thought of it.
Obito was sitting behind his desk with Hinata and Sasuke Hyuga standing beside each other facing him. They had their heads bent downward. Hiashi, Pain, and Zetsu were behind them. Silence extended on until Hinata's voice crept out of her mouth.
"…We cannot begin to express how sorry we are, Lord Hokage…We are completely ashamed of what we have done." Hinata mumbled out.
Obito's face was hardened with suppressed anger, but he could do nothing more than intimidate the Hyuga children.
"Zetsu, explain what you saw once more."
"Very well. We stayed behind to guard the chakra sphere just as you had ordered while you attended Hinata Hyuga's party with everyone else. We were considering cleaning the place up as we were so bored, when Hinata and Sasuke Hyuga led Naruto Uzumaki right up to the chakra sphere. The boy's hand touched the sphere and got chakra. But as fate would have it- the boy had a hand-held tracker on him. He had planned this with Kushina Uzumaki all along. To get the Hyuga kids' to show him the chakra sphere. They knew nothing of his betrayal. And then the chakra sphere freaked out and a shockwave of chakra sent them flying. Apparently they were drugged like the rest of the Clan Heads at the party and passed out. Oh! And Neji Hyuga was helping Guy, Kushina, Sakura Haruno, and Anko escape. That's enough."
Hinata and Sasuke cringed at the mention of Naruto.
"Thank you, Zetsu. Hiashi, I expect you to discipline your family for this." Obito warned. He hated that it was all he was allowed to do.
Hiashi nodded. "I will, Lord Hokage."
Sasuke, Hinata, and Hiashi walked home in silence. Clouds were covering the sky most of the night but they didn't notice. Hinata and Sasuke were thinking about Naruto's betrayal. Hinata took it far worse than Sasuke.
He was trying to say something…I don't believe that he would do such a thing to us unless he had to! That's right! Naruto HAD to have been blackmailed by someone! Why else would he say he was sorry? Sasuke thought in denial.
Hiashi finally spoke when they stopped at the gates. "You both have had a terrible night. I won't punish you both tonight. I'll leave that for tomorrow." Their father walked off into the Compound without another word.
"Hinata…" Sasuke tried to tell her his thoughts, but she just shook her head. Her hair was slightly unraveled but she slowly undid it completely and took out the ordainments.
"I don't want to talk about Naruto, Sasuke. He betrayed us. So did Neji. That's all there is to it." Her voice was hollow and quiet. She opened the door to her room and closed it without another word.
Sasuke finally walked to his room and closed the door behind him. Then he slammed his fist against the wall.
"Why, Naruto?! Why did you use and betray us?!" His bangs covered his eyes as he leaned his head against the wall for a second. He tried not to let his pain swallow his heart. Eventually he pulled himself away from the door and climbed into bed.
He forced himself to close his eyes even though his mind was still racing. But eventually, he began to fall asleep.
…At the Same Time the Hyuga's left Obito's office…
The chakra sphere had been put under triple the protection since Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke had touched it. All versions of Pain were encircled around it and staring unblinkingly around the whole darkened room.
Everything froze a heartbeat later…as if time had stopped. The room had somehow gotten darker as the sound of wings flapped slightly over the room and chakra sphere. Two figures landed right beside it. Then two voices broke the un-natural silence.
"This is bad…this is really bad." An annoyed and somewhat worried voice growled from one of the two.
"I agree, sister." The other replied, leaning against the orb.
"The Five were never supposed to be this close together! What is that Cyclopes-baka think he's doing?!" The first voice turned aggressive.
"I never liked One-Eye-kun. We should have killed him a long time ago and taken back our ball. Look at what he's done to it. It's huge." The second voice remained calm and relaxed.
"That wouldn't be any fun at all, little brother. No…It's not time to act yet, but maybe we should go remind Cyclopes-baka with whom he's dealing with. I'll make sure he never lets them close to our play-toy again." The female voice chuckled at the thought.
The sound of wings fluttered again and the two figures were gone. A heartbeat after they vanished, time began to turn once more. The Pains around the room blinked once as two white and black bird feathers floated down from the ceiling.
1:00AM…
Silence filed out over the Leaf Village until the clock hand hit 1 AM…that was the moment when Sasuke and Hinata Hyuga's screams could be heard from the Hyuga Compound, piercing any silence in the night air.
