Genjutsu Legend Chapter 15
A large orb of crison flames crashed into the ground and caused a devastating explosion of earth and fire, the blast had a ripple effect as the groung around the impact point were forced apart like a wave. Another flaming shot came crashing into the ground and another explosion sounded through the quiet training field of the Uchiha Clan. A pair of Sharingan glared at the destroyed area as a voice cried out more attacks.
"Raiton: Raikoho!" sounded a man as a yellow blast of lightning struck the impact area, and it devastated the area even more.
A figure jumped into the dust and debris caused by the explosions with a blade in his hand, it was the size of wakizashi and its silver glow was brighter than ever. His Sharingan allowed him to see through the thick air, and it shoed him that he was the only one inside the area. Growlng to himself, the man jumped up into the air and scanned the area with his advance eyes, and he saw his intended target on the far side of the training field.
"You are too fast Uzumaki-taicho, I can't even see your movements, how am I suppose to fight you!?" cried the young man fustrated at his leader.
The memtioned Uzumaki chuckled as he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. "Fighting people faster than you will improve your speed gradually Sasuke, and i must tell you that you are getting better each time you fight me." said the man as he crossed his arms.
Sasuke sighed and tried to smooth out his breathing. "Fine..." mumbled the man before he used the Shunshin no Jutsu to decrease the distance between him and his leader. As soon as his traget was in range, Sasuke channeled chakra into his blade and swiped it across the field. "Shinso..." mumbled the Uchiha as his blade extended into great lengths and slashed through the area horizontally.
Naruto smirked as the blade came at him, and just before he was cut, he reached out with one of his hands and caught the blade with his bare hands. The Uzumaki looked at the shocked Uchiha with a smirk, "That was way too slow Sasuke..." said the man before he suddenly appeared directly in front of Sasuke and planted his fist in his stomach.
The Uchiha coughed up all the air in his lungs as he staggered backwards with his arms cradling his stomach. "Thats it Uzumaki-taicho, I give up..." muttered Sasuke as he sat down on the ground, panting for air. "I'll go back to training with Neji or Sai."
Naruto chuckled a little and walked over to his subordinate. "Don't fret Sasuke, you and Neji will still be the two most powerful candidate at the Chunin Exams, along with Manami-chan." said the Uzumaki as he crossed his arms.
The Uchiha sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "So what am I suppose to do when I fight Manami-san, should I hold back or should we actually fight." asked Sasuke as he was afraid of accidentally hurting the girl of his leader.
Naruto smirked. "You will actually fight her, don't worry, you will not hurt her that easily, Manami-chan is just as powerful as you and Neji, perhaps even more."
Sasuke shook his head. "You really know how to hurt a guy's pride Uzumaki-taicho..." muttered the man as he painfully got up and started to walk to his house.
The Uzumaki let his subordinate walk ahead of him as they headed towards the main Uchiha house. "What about you Sasuke, are you going to do anything about Temari-san...I hear from Neji that you have taken quite an interest to her?" asked Naruto amused.
Sasuke looked back and smiled at his leader. "Yeah Uzumaki-taicho, I think I will bring her with us to Uzushiogakure, she would help me restore the Uchiha clan there." said the Uchiha with a smirk on his face, he was proud of his achievement.
Naruto chuckled and nodded. "Sure Sasuke, the more the better we do need human resources to stabilize Uzushiogakure..." said the blond man as he looked up at the sky and sighed. It was only one day from the Chunin Exams, and Naruto was feeling particularly excited. Tonight was crucial in his plan, and if everything goes right, then the battle the next day would be an easy win... Naruto looked at Sasuke in front of him, "Sasuke, you should go to Kabuto and have your wounds healed, I need to go find Neji."
Sasuke nodded. "Hai Uzumaki-taicho!" saluted the man as he watched his leader disappear from view. Kabuto had been working for Naruto for the last month as the man had no other choice, he was under the hypnosis of Naruto and would die almost instantly if he defies the powerful man. Inside Naruto's forces, the Uzumaki himself reigned as supreme leader, and his word is absolute, then the next chain of command lies with his personal subordinates, namely Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji and Shiruma Danzo.
The three commanders each have their own army, and controlled several close subordinates themselves. Danzo has his close students Fu and Torune, as well as Sai some of the time, as the pale young man was also a student of Naruto. Sasuke has Temari and Kabuto under his wing as close subordinates, they are able to create a balanced battle formation if needed, as it had a skilled fire and wind user along with a spectacular medical Ninja. Neji has Haku and Zabuza under his wing as Naruto had assigned the two missing-nin to him. Originally Zabuza and Haku were to be given to Sasuke to lead, but Naruto saw that they would be more beneficial for Neji because Hyoton and silent killing will go very nicely with his Byakugan.
Naruto used Shunpo to arrive almost instantly at his underground headquarters, his long white jacket flaring behind him as his presence was instantly felt by all his subordinates. The Uzumaki had appeared right in the middle the main training area, and all the Ninja training at that moment instantly got down to their knees and gave their leader a deep bow with their foreheads touching the ground. Only a second ago, the room would be filled with sounds of clashing blades and exploding Jutsu, but it was silent the instant Naruto appeared.
Naruto looked down at his men and gave a slight nod. "Uzumaki-taicho!" cried all the man in unison, the vibrations shook the ground for that brief second.
"As you were..." said the Uzumaki as all his men stood up and continued their training. Naruto looked over to a corner and saw Neji standing with his arms crossed as he monitered his army training. The Hyuga saw his leader gesturing to him, so he instantly uncrossed his arms and used the Shunshin no Jutsu to appear next to Naruto as fast as possible.
"Do you need anything, Uzumaki-taicho?" asked Neji as he bowed his head at his leader.
Naruto smiled lightly and nodded. "Yes, I need you to return to the Hyuga compound tonight and get ready, Hinata should try to use tonight to get the Jutsu-Shiki away from the Hyuga compound." said the man as he crossed his arms. "Your responsibility is to remain at your home to let Hinata see that your are immobile, that way she would feel compelled to leave the compound with the formula."
Neji bowed deeper. "Hai Uzumaki-taicho!" saluted the man.
When Naruto faked his death, he had deliberately left a letter in Hinata's possession a few days prior without her be able to percieve it as he hid it with Kyoka Suigetsu, and a deactivated hs hypnosis a few days after his supposed death. The letter was written like it was his last words, Naruto specifically stated that if he was to die before the Chunin Exams, then the branch family of the Hyuga Clan was going to revolt during the exams. Naruto had instructed Hinata to steal the formula of the Caged Bird Seal from the main house and bring it to saftey, which is where they used to train together, as he further instructed.
Naruto smiled at the polite man, "Today is the last day that you will be caged Neji, you will be free from tomorrow onwards." said the Uzumaki as he placed a hand of his subordinate's shoulder.
Neji raised his head to looked at his leader, and his normally blank eyes showed gratitude. "Thank you Uzumaki-taicho..." muttered the man gratefully as he thought back to all the pain the Main Branch of the Hyuga had done to him.
The Uzumaki nodded before he turned around to walk away. "I will be getting ready for tomorrow...the next time I see you, it will be at the training field..."
Neji bowed deeply. "Hai Uzumaki-taicho!"
It was a dark night, the sky was cloudy so the moon was completely covered and its lights were blocked. The village was unusually silent in the ears of Hyuga Hinata, even the crickets outside of her room were seemingly gone for the night, the only sound she could hear was her own heartbeat. It was beating so fast and hard that she could feel it bumping against her chest, her breathing was quick and rapid, but she forced it down to a very low heave.
Hinata had nver even thought of doing anything of the sort, since her birth, she had followed the orders of her father and his word was law, she had never thought of doing anything against him or his teachings, and she had never done anything behind his back. But there is a first time for everything, so Hinata was dressed in a black combat suit as she stealthily travelled through the many rooftops of the Hyuga compound. In the week that she hid in her room, Hinata had spent almost every minute of it memorizing the routines of each guard by monitering them with her Byakugan.
Even though Hinata was not a powerful as most Ninja her age, her Byakugan actually has more range than most members of her clan, and because of her low Chakra reserves, she was more steathy than most people as well. The girl had figured out a window of oppurtunity during midnight, when all the guards of the house would switch shifts, which is only going to be three minutes at most. Hinata took the shortest route to her father's chambers, which is directly from her own room. Since she was a very important member of the main branch family, she was positioned close to her father's room in the most secured area.
Another flaw inside the security system is that everything passed the surrounding branch member family area is free of any security, as the main branch did not want any prying eyes of the side branch looking into their lives. This was the reason why the main branch family home was designed to be in the center of the compound, and the rest would surround them, this allowed them to use the side branch as security as well as shields.
Hinata knew about a safe that was in her father's personal bedroom, she had saw it when she was much younger and closer to her father, and she knew that it held very importent things. Hyuga Hiashi was at a Clan Head meeting at the Hokage tower and wouldn't be back until later on, so Hinata could freely browse through her dad's room.
The Hyuga heiress jumped down from the roof and landed in front of the large house that was her father's bedroom, she scanned her surroundings with her Byakugan, and when she knew no one would perceive her, she dashed into the room quickly and quietly. She ran to the corner of the room to a large desk, she knew that the safe was under the desk in a secret compartment. Hinata smiled when she found the exact same safe she had saw many years ago...
'I will never let those people get what they want...' thought the girl as she scanned the box with her eyes.
As she expected, the safe had a coat of chakra around it, thus blocking her Byakugan from seeing the innards of the box. But Hinata didn't need to see the things inside the safe, all she needed to do was to prevent the branch family members from stealing it, so she used her juken to strike the sides of the desk, and disconnected the safe from it's attackments. She quickly casted a shroud of chakra over the spot where the safe was, it would not fool her father or more than a day, but that was all she needed.
The safe was much lighter than she expected, it was black and was about a foot in height and width, and it fit quite nicely around her arms.
The Hyuga heiress' breathing hitched as she ran as fast as she could to her own room, she couldn't risk talking the box out in the open tonight, she must do it when most of the Hyuga members are at the stadium watching the Chunin Exams finals. The girl jumped down from the roof and landed near her own room, she quickly ran inside and ripped off her black clothes and put on her regular night clothes. Hinata hid the box under a Genjutsu and placed it next to her on her bed...
'Hyuga Neji will pay...after the exams tomorrow I will reveal all your acts to Otou-sama...and he will kill you!' though Hinata as she gripped her sheets tightly with her fists.
Tears slowly flowed out of her eyes as she thought about Naruto...she had been in love with the blond man since she was a child. He was the one person that cared about her, even when her own father had disregarded her, Naruto was there to cheer her on, he was always there to care for her...
'Naruto-kun...I miss you so much..." cried Hinata inside her heart, she felt like a piece of her soul had been ripped out since Naruto's death. The girl gritted her teeth in anger and fustration when she thought about the fact that Naruto's killer was still unknown. Neji would alway be the most suspicious in her eyes but there was no evidence to prove anything, even her other friends and Sensei had no idea who was Naruto fighting that day.
'I love you Naruto-kun...and I am never going to let you die for nothing, I will find whoever that killed you and kill him with my own hands!' Swore Hinata as she held a picture of her and Naruto, it was taken the day they graduated and Naruto had his arms around her as she blushed up a storm...
Naruto was sitting on top of the Hokage Monument, staring down that the village that would most likely be destroyed the following day. He mounted his feet on the heads of his father, the Yondaime Hokage as he sighed, if his father was a not a complete fool, he could have been a real great person. The power of the Kiroi Senko was revered as one of the greatest Shinobi force to ever exist, but even a man with his power, could not defend himself from the foolish brain-washing of the so-called Will of Fire.
Naruto chuckled and shook his head. "I wonder what you think about me now...Otou-san?" asked the man to himself as he peered his gaze upon Konoha. "Will you hate me for destroying Konoha, or will you hate Konoha for mistreating your son?" The Uzumaki crossed his arms and closed his eyes, he knew what his father would think if he was still watching him the afterlife...
The blue eyes of the Uzumaki bared down at the oblivious village under him, he could see some people celebrating the finals of the Chunin Exams, apparently there was a festival for celebrating events like so. He scoffed at the pathetic low-lives under his feet, they were all dependant of stability and peace of mind, that is why they could never improve or progress. The people of the Five Great Nations were all blinded by their own pride and false sense of superiority, they want to think that their empires were to strong for anyone to topple...but they will soon know better.
"You can come out now Manami-chan...you don't need to hide back there." said Naruto without opening his eyes.
Sabaku Manami jumped down from above a tree and landed behind her leader, the girl looked the same as before, but Naruto could see that her eyes have become somewhat clearer, as if she had found a purpose in life again.
"Sorry Naruto-sama, I just wanted to see where you were." said the girl as she bowed her head a little at the man.
Naruto turned around and shook his head with a smile on his face. "There is no need to apologize Manami-chan, I really enjoy your company..." said the man kindly. "Please, come join me."
The girl looked up at the blond man and offered a small smile of her own. "Thank you, Naruto-sama." she said as she walked up to the tall man and stood beside him. Ever since that night, Manami had become quite close with Naruto, she saw him as a man that would give meaning to her in life, and a friend that had experienced the same pain she had, and a leader that was much more powerful than her.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow Manami-chan?" asked Naruto as he looked over at the girl.
The red haired beauty shook her head as she stared into her leader's blue eyes. "Not at all Naruto-sama, but then again, there is really not much for me to do." said the girl calmly.
Naruto smiled and nodded. "That is good, but don't think that you are not important tomorrow, it is your responsibility to make sure that I am able to have the full support of the Suna forces." said the man. Naruto had given Manami full command over the Suna army, and despite their reluctance towards the Junchuriki, they would rather listen to her than one of the other commanders, namely Sasuke, Neji or Danzo.
Manami looked at her leader and saw his eyes were glued upon the night lights of Konoha. "Are you alright Naruto-sama?" asked the girl.
Naruto looked over at her and smiled a little. "Yeah...just thinking about tomorrow..." said the man as he sighed. "If you had the chance Manami-chan...would you destroy Suna because of what it's people did to you?" asked the Uzumaki.
The girl was surprised at the question but thought about it nonetheless. She had never actually thought of destroying Suna before because it was the only place that she knew of, and if she lost that too, she wouldn't know what to do with her life. Despite her cold and distant family, they were the only people she could talk to, her sister was the closest thing she had to a friend...
"If I had the chance...I would destroy Suna just to rid the village of all the corrupted administration, the shadow in the background of my father that silently judges the lives of everybody in the village...they would be the ones to die first." said the girl as she maintained eye contact with Naruto. "Then I would crush most of the Shinobi of the village because of the blindness to the truth...then I would end all the people that had ever wronged me...but in the end I would leave my sister alive."
Naruto nodded. "You and I are really similar Manami-chan..." said the man as he placed a hand of the girl's shoulder. "I am going to do the same thing to Konoha tomorrow...I am killing off all the members of the council and the majority of the Hyuga Clan, the Hokage would most likely die by my hands and the village would be left in ruins...but there will be some people that I will leave alive and bring along."
Manami nodded. "You mean people like Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko?"
Naruto smirked at Manami's knowledge of two of his girls and nodded. "Yes, they are very important to me and I would never leave them behind..."
Manami suddenly had a look of sadness of her face, she didn't was to admit it, but she was really jealous of Naruto's three girls as she herself really wanted him to pay so much attention to her. "I see..."
Naruto smiled to himself as he heard the girl's slightly jealous voice, so he steped closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Don't think I will leave you behind either Manami-chan, you are important to me too."
Manami blushed as she felt the warmth of Naruto's arms. "T-Thank you Naruto-sama..."
The Uzumaki smiled at her blush. "You don't have to call me Naruto-sama when we are alone, just call me Naruto-kun or just Naruto, okay?" said the man softy.
Manami looked up at her leader with a calmer blush on her face and nodded. "Okay, Naruto-kun..." whispered the girl with a sense of surreal, she had never used the "Kun" suffix before for anyone.
Naruto took a turn for serious as he stared at Manami. "So Manami-chan, you completely understand what you have to do tomorrow correct?" asked the man.
The girl nodded. "Hai, it is my responsibility to lead the Suna Ninja around the village, attacking the main point of the village that you have provided on the main map, and after those area are destroyed, I would have to come aid you in aanyway I can at the stadium."
Naruto nodded. "Remember, the points that I have listed on the map are crucial, they must be held in higher priority than any other areas of the village, and they all need to be destroyed before the end of tomorrow." said the Uzumaki as he turned his gaze back down at the village.
Manami held her hands together as she looked up at the man. "If I may ask Naruto-kun, why are those places so important that you are using all of Suna's forces to destroy?" asked the beauty softy.
Naruto smirked as he led Manami over to a bench that was intended for tourist visiting the Hokage monument. "Those places are the physical and psychological foundations of Konoha, they include the Hyuga Clan Compound, the Jounin Headquarters, the Library, the Archives, the Hokage Tower, and the assumed ANBU Headquarters as well." said the man as the girl was surprised. "Most of these places will be heavily guarded, even during an invastion, so I will aid you all with my illusions. Your whole army will be absolutely undectable by any Konoha Shinobi..."
Manami chuckled and nodded her head. "I see...are you planning to take anything from those places, or should we just raze them to the ground?"
Naruto chuckled and crossed his arms behind his head. "There is nothing in particular that I need, but if you happen to come across the Kinjutsu Scroll in the Hokage Tower, feel free to bring that along with you before buring the building..." said the man with a smirk.
Manami nodded with a smirk. "Of course Naruto-kun..."
Naruto nodded with a smile. "Is there anything else Manami-chan?"
The girl shook her head negative. "No, Naruto-kun..." said the girl before she looked down at her hands a little nervously. "But can I stay still with you here..." asked the girl as she adverted her gaze from the man's entirity.
Naruto chuckled and pulled the girl closer to his side. "Of course you can Manami-chan...you are just too cute!" said the man amused as he chuckled at the girl's blush.
It was early afternoon, and the Chunin Exam finals were well underway. The sun was scorching that particular day, the air was dryer than usual, and there were hardly any wind in the air. Most of the population were suffering from the excess amounts of alchole they had consumed the day prior, and were trying to make their way out of bed. At the epicenter of the village, was the main stadium, where the final rounds of the battling Genin were talking place.
Most of the village's Ninja were somewhere in the stadium enjoying the fights of their future successors, which included many Jounin and most of the Chunin. The other seats in the house were mainly filled with the many nobles and fuedal lords of foreign lands, they call came to the tournement to see the results of the fights, be it because they had a serious gamble of the winners, or they want to decided which village to hire the next time they needed the help of Shinobi.
It the battlefield of the stadium were to young Shinobi, one of the had midnight black hair that was shaped like a behind of a duck. His eyes were red and had three black tomoes surrounding his irises, he was panted slightly as he dashed around the field, trying to find an opening in his opponent's defense.
A few meters away from the young man was a beautiful young woman that had vibrant red hair that reached the small of her back, her eyes were a brilliant light blue that reflected the cloudless sky, and the black eye liner mader her look even more sexy. The thin clothing and gourd on her back did not hide her curvacious figure from many males in the crowd.
"Is that the best you can do Uchiha-san...?" asked the girl as she fired a legion of sand shurikens at the man.
Sasuke grunted as he dodged the projectiles by jumping into the air. "This is just the tip of the iceburg Manami-san."
Both of the young Shinobi were trying their best to fight each other without hurting each other seriously, as they had to save their strength for the cataclismic battle later on. Sasuke had deliberately held back some of his strength while he was training with Kakashi so the man wouldn't noticed him holding back some of his best attacks, even though Naruto told him that he wouldn't be able to hurt Manami that easily, he would want to save most of his power for the main battle...that and he really didn't want to accidentally injure the love-interest of his leader, and perphaps his future sister-in-law.
"Katon: Gyokayu no Jutsu!" cried the Uchiha as a fireball the size of a small house blasted from him and sped towards the young Kunoichi.
Manami sent a blast of sand to block to fireball as she ran to the side of the impact area until she caught sight of the Uchiha, she raised both her arms and pushed them forward in Sasuke's direction, and instantly after that a legion sand rose from beneath the man. Manami smirked as she had caught the Uchiha, and she proceeded to push the man upwards until he was at least fifty feet in the air.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he was carried in midair by some sand, but with his eyes he could see which area of the sand had less chakra, so he targetted that area. "Raiton: Byukarai!" cried the young man as he shot through part of the sand and lossened it grip around his legs, and with his new found freedom, Sasuke jumped down to the ground and landed on his heels.
As his friend was fighting, Neji was standing next to the illusionary Lee and his girlfriend at the highest point of the stadium. There was a smirk on his face as he watched his friend holding back a little when fighting the Suna Kunoichi, he knew that even if Sasuke used his full power, he might not be able to defeat Manami, but he was amused at the fact that Sasuke was afraid of accidentally hurting the girl because Uzumaki-taicho would punish him if he did.
Tenten sighed and walked over to her boyfriend. "How long do we still have to wait?" asked the girl as she felt her hands shake a little, the anxiety was getting to her.
Neji smiled over at his lover. "Just a little longer Tenten, we should receive the signal before the end of this fight." said the Hyuga as he looked behind him at a forest. "Do you remember what you havve to do?"
Tenten sighed again and nodded. "Yes...I need to accompany you to training ground seven and meet up with Uzumaki-taicho." replied the girl with stress.
Neji smirked, "Yes..." mumbled the man as he rubbed his headband a little. 'Just a little bit longer father...and the main Hyuga family will be destroyed!'
As the majority of the village were enjoying the battles of the last Uchiha, a lone Kunoichi travelled through the many rooftops of Konoha. It was Hyuga Hinata, she was speeding through the village was fast as she could. Hinata had to remain in her room the whole morning, despite her father wanting her to go to the Chunin Exams final. The girl feigned sickness, and out of spite, her father just left her in the room. After two hours of anxiety, Hinata grabbed the safe and sped out of her room towards her training ground.
Hinata honestly did not know what was going to be at the training grounds, but there was this glimmer of hope in her heart that Naruto might somehow be there and reunite with her. The letter in her pouch seem to have appeared out of nowhere, but since it was from Naruto, Hinata would treasure it like gold.
The Hyuga girl had her Byakugan activated throughout the entire ten minute journey, she could tell that she was the only active person in a five mile radius, and the only people near to her were all civilians, so there was no need to worry...
The girl finally made it to the training grounds, she quickly landed on the ground and ran towards the main meeting area where she and her team would meet almost everyday. Three logs were lodged into the ground like three strong pillars, and that was the place where Naruto told her to be in the letter.
Hinata stopped when she arrived and looked around. "Naruto-kun...", she said quietly to herself as she clutched the safe within her arms.
The only thing that answered her was the blowing sounds of the wind, she scanned the area with her eyes and saw that the area was completely barren.
"What am I suppose to do with this...?" asked the girl quietly to herself as she leaned against a log for support.
Suddenly, Hinata felt someone's presence from behind her, so she instinctively jumped away and pulled out a Kunai to protect herself. Her eyes glared at the form of her potential attacker, but once her eyes made contact with the man in front of her, Hinata lost the strength to hold the Kunai...
"N-N-Naruto-kun..." muttered the girl as she saw the blond man that she had dreamed about for the last few years.
It was Uzumaki Naruto who was standing in front of Hinata, he had his usual kind smile on his face, his eyes looked as bright and blue as ever, and his body was completely healthy. Hinata's eyes drifted towards the area where Naruto was supposedly stabbed with his own blade, and she noticed that there was not a sign of injury at all. Tears formed in the girls eyes, but she quickly wiped them away so that she could see the man more clearly...
"Naruto-kun...is that really you...?"
Naruto smiled and walked up to the timid girl. "Of course it is me Hinata-chan." said the man calmly as he looked into the girl's eyes.
Hinata could feel the warmth from Naruto's body, she could see his shadow on the ground, she could see his chakra with her Byakugan...Hinata's eyes teared more as she jumped into Naruto's chest. "NARUTO-KUN!" cried the girl as she buried her face against the man's chest.
Naruto chuckled a little as she rubbed the back of her head soothingly. "It's okay Hinata-chan..."
Hinata felt safer than she had been for the last few weeks, ever since the death of Naruto she found that she couldn't feel any sort of security. She was paranoid and suspicious, most of her confidence and security stems from her admiration of Naruto. Hinata made herself believe that the Uzumaki would always be there for her, that he would always be there to save her from everything...just smelling his scent again made the girl feel better.
"This is a very important time Hinata-chan...did you bring the formula with you?" asked Naruto as he pulled back a little from their hug.
Hinata sniffed and brushed her tears away before look up at him with a smile. "Yes Naruto-kun..." said the girl as she presented him with the safe that was placed on the ground after she jumped into his arms. "This is my father's safe, and I know that the formula would be in there..."
Naruto smiled and nodded. "You are so brave for doing this Hinata-chan...you are such a great girl." said the man as he took the safe from Hinata.
The Hyuga heiress felt more tears in her eyes as she felt her happiness coming back again, Naruto was really the only person that could make her feel so happy...Hinata didn't say anything back and just leaned into Naruto's frame.
"Thank you...Hinata." said Naruto with a slightly different tone.
Hinata could feel all her despair vanish into thin air as she emersed herself in the arms of the man she loves. Just inhaling his scent, feeling his warmth, hearing his heartbeat, had made Hinata feel more alive than she had been for the last few weeks. Ever since the supposed death of Naruto, Hinata had been living in complete and utter anguish. The Hyuga heiress had even though about commiting suicide to end the pain in her heart, but she knew that she would have to finish the task Naruto had left for her first...
'What is this...?', thought the girl to herself as she felt a weird sensation in her chest. 'What is the wet feeling?'
Hinata began to feel some sort of pain in her heart, but it was not emotional pain that she was use to...
She noticed that Naruto's heartbeat seem to become fainter and fainter...
Her body was becoming colder and colder...
Hinata pulled back a little from Naruto and saw that he was holding something in his hand...the object reflected some sunlight into her eyes...
"What is this?" said the girl out loud...her voice was very weak and light.
Hinata looked up at Naruto and stared into his eyes...but felt afraid, the eyes were different than normal. They were not warm of even kind...they were cold, dark, emotionless...
Hinata felt Naruto's face coming closer to her own. "Goodbye...Hyuga Hinata", said Naruto as he pulled his blade out of the girl's chest.
'What happened...Naruto-kun?'
The last thing Hinata saw, were the dark eyes of Naruto looking down at her...the man she was looking at was not the man she loved, he was a completely different person. Hinata didn't feel sadness, or despair...all her mind could comprehend at the moment, was...complete...utter...fear...
