Chapter 10: Pandemonium! Part 1

Hinata slowly opened her eyes and watched as they went in and out of focus. Slowly and painfully lifting her head, she heard muffled shouts and turned to see her sister, still going in and out of focus, trying to tell her something. "What is nee-chan trying to say?" she wondered to herself as she set her head back down. Taking another ragged breath, she tried to inhale as best she could but found it hard to do so. "Well that's irritating; I wonder why I can't breathe well." She lifted her head again this time to see her father standing a few meters away from her with a smug yet sadistic look on his face. "Oh that's right. I was fighting father." Setting her head back down once more she tried to focus her vision but it refused to stay clear. "Well, I guess I better get up."

Hanabi was yelling for Hinata to get up with tears in her eyes. After watching the last attack by her father Hanabi was scared that Hinata might actually be dead, but she was relieved when Hinata slowly pushed herself up until she was on her hands and knees. However, her relief didn't last long as she watched her sister scream in pain and cringe before she proceeded to cough up a large amount of blood. Fear gripped her and she looked over at Neji to see him gritting his teeth.

"N-Nii-san…" Hanabi's voice whispered quietly through tears, "is nee-chan okay?"

Neji remained quiet but activated his Byakugan to quickly take a look at Hinata's vitals. He could see her chakra system was going on the fritz and was erratically fluctuating, a sure sign of severe internal damage. "Damn you Hiashi!" Neji internally yelled angrily. "How far are you willing to take this?"

"Nii-san?"

Hanabi's quiet voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned and looked at his little cousin that came to be more like a sister.

"Hanabi I won't lie to you, it appears that Hinata is suffering from extreme internal damage from that last attack." He paused as he let the news sink in. "I'm debating on whether or not to call the match right now."

Hanabi turned back to look at her sister and saw that she had now manage to get to her feet and was swaying dangerously.

"Please don't." she begged quietly taking Neji by surprise.

"Why don't you want me to call it?" Neji asked.

"Because," Hanabi said with a sad smile as she watched her sister suddenly hunch over and cringe in pain, "she's still standing." Then she cupped her hands to her mouth and yelled, "Come on nee-chan! You can win this I know you can!"

Neji looked at Hanabi for a moment before shifting his gaze back to Hinata. "Hinata, you can do this…But you need to come up with something fast."

Hinata was struggling on her hands and knees as she tried to focus through her blurred vision. Her body felt strange, as if all sensation had been lost and the only feeling she had was that her body was just there. Then without warning her vision focused and her hearing returned all long with the sudden unforgiving and unrelenting pain that racked her chest causing her to scream out and hunch over. She then suddenly felt as if she had water trapped in her throat and she found herself in a violent coughing fit in which the water turned out to be blood. Although her vision was clear now, it began to darken and tunnel vision began to set in. She could hear the sound of her ragged breathing in her ears as well as the sound of her fast beating heart as it tried desperately to keep her alive and awake. Despite all of this, she still managed to pull herself up into an unsteady standing position.

Standing there swaying from side to side she found herself wondering how in the world she was going to defeat her father in the condition she was in. Her ribs were broken; she could tell that much from the pain it caused her to breathe. Taking another ragged breath she confirmed that her right lung also appeared to have collapsed from her father's last attack. "How in the world am I supposed to defeat my father in this condition?" Despair began to set in as the realization of her limited movement came to light.

"Ready to give up daughter?" Hiashi's smug voice rang out breaking Hinata out of her thoughts.

Suddenly memories of Naruto's beaten and broken body flashed before Hinata's eyes as she was reminded of how he never gave up no matter how badly he was injured. His determination filled her and his unbreakable will gave her strength. "Naruto-kun doesn't give up so neither will I!" Her resolve steeled again, she set a battered but hard gaze on her father and answered.

"Never in a million years. I'd rather die before give up to you."

Hiashi's face flashed annoyance before he slipped back into his stance and prepared to attack again.

"Damn it Hiashi!" Neji thought angrily as he ground his jaw in frustration, but then his thoughts turned more desperate. "Naruto, where are you?"

A sudden dull pop broke the silence as everyone turned to Hinata and saw a look of surprise and shock on her face. A second later more pops where heard and Hinata's legs began to shake violently as she tried to stay standing. A few seconds after that there was the sound of air being sucked through something.

Hinata couldn't believe what had just happened. One second she was in severe pain and the next she could literally feel all of her ribs being mended and her lung re-inflate. "How is this even possible?" she asked in confusion. However, she wasn't given time to dwell on the strange occurrence since Hiashi suddenly appeared in front of her throwing a blinding fast jab with his index and middle finger out. Hinata immediately countered it by ducking to the side and throwing her own chakra filled palm at the shoulder the offending arm and sent him tumbling back.

"You got the jump on me once father, it won't happen again." Hinata said full of determination. She couldn't help but feel a small sense of pride from knocking her father down twice and earning a small gasp from the audience in surprise.

Hiashi slowly stood up and touched the tenketsu in his shoulder activating it again. He rotated it once and winced as he confirmed that some of his muscle had torn from her chakra filled attack. However, his face became emotionless as he ignored it and slipped back into his stance. As he did this he spoke.

"Still so confident daughter, it seems that you've forgotten your place. I'll have to remind you where it is! Gentle Fist: Air Wall Palm!"

He thrust his palms at her three different times releasing a massive wall of moving visible chakra-filled air each time he did so. With nowhere else to go, Hinata took to the sky with a hard jump. Hiashi smirked as he waited until she had started her decent before he slipped into a different stance.

Seeing this Hanabi gasped and shouted, "Nee-chan, watch out!"

But it was too late.

"Eight Trigram: Sixty-four Palms." Hiashi whispers menacingly before rocketing off the ground and meeting Hinata in mid air.

Hinata's eyes widened as she realized that she was trapped. Being caught helplessly suspended in air she could not redirect herself to doge the oncoming attack. At the same time her father was moving so fast she didn't have time to perform the Kaiten. Out of options she did the only thing that came to her mind.

"Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists!" She shouted as she forced as much chakra as she could into her hands and then shot one forward to meet her father's oncoming fingers.

The transparent blue lions head connected with her father's fingers for a brief moment they found themselves at a standstill. Then next, there was a deafening explosion and Hiashi rocketed back the way he came, slamming into the ground. Hinata landed gracefully on the ground a few meters away from her father but had little time to rest. Jumping up quickly he raised his hand to reveal shattered and twisted fingers, broken beyond recognition. However, instead of anger Hiashi's face showed shock yet again and many of the elders began whispering to one another.

Hanabi looked at Neji in awe. "Nii-san, what is that technique Hinata is using and how is it even possible that it beat father's sixty-four palms?"

Neji smiled slightly. "That is Hinata's second most powerful attack that she has created. It's used by focusing large amounts of chakra into her palms and then released at a slow steady rate through the tenketsu points in her hands." His face then furrowed. "As for defeating Hiashi-sama's attack…I don't know how she did it."

Hanabi's eyes widened at her cousin's lack of knowledge over the subject, he was considered the smartest in the clan next to her father.

"It's true that Hinata unleashed a large amount of chakra with her last attack, but Hiashi-sama is the strongest in the clan. To think that Hinata is strong enough to negate his attack and the Jyuuken no less…" He trailed off as his mind began to wander. "Hinata…how much stronger have you gotten?"

Naruto was walking through his mindscape at a leisurely stroll and tried to enjoy the song birds' music as they sang happily above him. However, the bright atmosphere couldn't bring his mood up as he continued on his ways through the woods with his shoulders sagged deeply. "Damn it, what do I have to do to bring you back Sasuke?" He sighed heavily and soon found himself next to the koi fish pond with Kyuubi lounging next to the water's edge.

"Hey Kyuubi, what's up?" he said as he sat down underneath a tree and leaned back against the trunk.

"Oh not much just making a list of things to do today: go to the grocery, paint the walls, maybe read a book at the park…" he trailed off after he had made his sarcasm evident.

Naruto just snorted at him and replied, "Just asking ass."

"Well what the hell do you think I'm gonna do? I'm sealed inside you baka!" he yelled back in frustration.

"I don't know," Naruto said as he shrugged his shoulders, "get an attitude adjustment?"

Kyuubi growled before giving an "hmph" and staring back at the pond. There were a few minutes of silence as they were lost in their own thoughts but finally Kyuubi broke the silence.

"So…" he began casually rousing Naruto from his thoughts. "What are you going to do about the emo?"

Naruto sighed knowing exactly who he was talking about. "That's a good question. I have no idea what to do. It seems like the harder I try to get Sasuke back the harder he tries to further himself from me and everyone else." He sighed again and hung his head. "I just don't understand. Why would he join the same organization that his brother was in? He despised Itachi, and now he's working with his brother's partners. It just doesn't make any sense."

"Perhaps his mind was warped by the people that got to him first after his battle with Itachi?" Kyuubi suggested and Naruto immediately felt the disappointment inside from failing to recover him a second time. "Or maybe," Kyuubi continued bringing Naruto out of his thoughts, "he learned something else that changes his views on everything?"

Naruto's eyes widened slightly. "What could he have possibly learned that would cause him to join such a dark organization like the Akatsuki?"

"I don't know boy it was just a suggestion, figured I would throw my thoughts in on the matter." Kyuubi answered with a shrug of his own.

Silence again. After about ten minutes Naruto finally managed to his next question out.

"Hey Kyuubi?"

Kyuubi continued to stare at the pond while he rested his head on his paws but his ears perked up to indicated he was listening. Naruto continued on with his question.

"I was wondering…why did you save Hinata from Pain?"

The question caught Kyuubi off guard and he tried not to show it. "Shit, I was hoping the brat wouldn't ask me that."After a moment he raised his head and looked at Naruto before speaking.

"Let's get this understood right now; I saved her because I promised you I wouldn't let anymore of your precious people get hurt if you let me out. If I had it my way I would have left the weakling to die, but I made a promise and as king of the demons I always honor my promises…most of the time." He said the last part with wicked smirk.

Kyuubi expected some kind of retaliation for at least calling the Hyuuga princess weak, but he was surprised when Naruto simply nodded his head in understanding and went back to his own thoughts. "Dodged a kunai there," he sighed inwardly in relief."Glad he didn't push it."

They both continued to sit in silence until Kyuubi noticed that it was starting to get dark. "Strange, that shouldn't happen here. Not unless Naruto or I change it."

Looking over at Naruto he yelled out, "Oi, baka drop the emo attitude. You're making it dark here."

Naruto looked up in confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about; it's not me that's doing this."

Suddenly the temperature dropped to the point that they could see their breaths and a thick fog rolled in. All the birds stopped their songs and began fluttering around in panic chirping wildly. They heard a creaking sound and looked over to the pond to see that it was freezing over and the grass began to frost over. By the time the pond was done freezing over the sun was completely blocked out and it was twilight out. The only difference was that there were no stars or moon, just a black sky void of all light.

"Kyuubi what's going on?" Naruto asked warily as he thought that the fox may be up to something.

Kyuubi was just as confused as Naruto was until an old and yet familiar feeling washed over him. "This feeling, it's familiar, but where have I felt it before?"

"Kyuubi?"

Naruto's voice pulled him from his thoughts and he began to panic slightly.

"Naruto this isn't me, it's something else; someone evil on the outside world his close to you. You need to wake up now!" Kyuubi said quickly as he got up and rushed over to Naruto.

"But how do I do that?" Naruto asked worried now. "It usually takes me a few minutes to break out of my mindscape."

Kyuubi ran through several options before he came up with the quickest solution. "Sorry kit but we're crunched for time."

Before Naruto could ask what he was going to do Kyuubi pulled back his claws and with lightning fast speed slashed Naruto's throat. It happened so fast the only reaction Naruto got out was his eyes widening in terror and surprise.

Naruto sat up gasping for air and holding his throat in his hands. Pulling a shaky hand away from his throat he expected to see blood but was relieved when he saw that it was clean. Letting a breath in relief, it didn't last long when he sensed someone behind him. In one fluid motion he was up and out of his bag and holding a kunai up in a defensive stance. Glancing around the room in front of him he saw nothing but a second later he saw a figure begin to morph through the wall in front of him. Coming into full form, Naruto's eyes narrowed as he realized who it was. The orange swirled mask was a dead giveaway.

"My, my, aren't you a perceptive one. I figured I would be able to sneak up on you as you were sleeping but it seems that didn't work." the man said in a deeper voice than Naruto remembered.

"Tobi isn't it? You seem different from the last time we met. What are you doing here?" Naruto asked warily. He could feel Kyuubi pacing inside his cage and it was putting him on edge.

"Please, call me Madara." Inside his mind Naruto heard a deep growl of hatred radiate from his prisoner's cell. "As for why I'm here," Madara continued, "that is simple. After I declare war on the kages at the summit meeting I was going to capture you. But, my plans have been delayed slightly so I decided to come here first."

"You're going to declare war on all of the kages? You must be a real dumbass if you think you can win." Naruto said and smirked at the man's stupidity.

"I know I will succeed and by doing so I will succeed in what I wish to accomplish." Madara said in his baritone voice.

"And what is it you want to accomplish?" Naruto growled.

"I want the same thing Nagato wanted: peace. But I have to admit our ways of achieving that are slightly different."

Naruto's eyes narrowed again. "What do you mean 'different'?"

The Madara smiled behind his mask. "Nagato wanted to collect all nine biju to create an ultimate weapon that would act as a deterrent against war. I have a slightly different plan. To collect all nine biju and form them back into the legendary Juubi, the original ten tailed demon."

Naruto's eyes widened in shock. "Kyuubi, is what he saying true? Did you really come from a ten tailed demon?" There was a moment of silence before Kyuubi answered him. "Yes its true kit, but that was a long time ago." Naruto then shifted his attention back to Madara. "What do you intend to do with the Juubi once you have it?"

"I plan on becoming its container, and by doing so harness the power of the demon making me unstoppable." Madara said simply.

"So what does that accomplish? People will stand up to you regardless. How does that achieve peace?" Naruto asked shifting slightly in his stance.

"I intend to put the world under a genjutsu, thus creating peace."

Naruto became confused. "How will you manage that? How can you put everyone under a genjutsu?"

"Simple really," Madara said with a shrug, "I'll use the moon."

"The moon?" Now Naruto was truly lost.

"Yes the moon." Madara said evenly with a nod. "By using the Juubi's power, I'll be able to reflect my Sharingan off of the moon and use it to put everyone under a genjutsu. By doing this people will no longer hate one another and will live in peace for the rest of their lives."

"That's not peace, that's nothing but forced servitude!" Naruto shouted back. "Forget this, I should just end him here and now and rid the world of this creep." he thought as he gritted his teeth.

Madara simply shrugged at his comment. "Call it what you will but it is the only way to truly achieve peace in this world. Now that I've said this, how about you come with me and help me accomplish my goal."

"Go to hell, I'm not going anywhere with you!" Naruto shouted back as he began to shake with anger.

"It wasn't an option." Madara said as he stretched out his arm and started to walk towards Naruto. "It's time for us to go."

Naruto responded by launching his kunai at the man and jumping backwards. Naruto watched as his kunai reached Madara and then sailed straight through him as if he was never there. A dull thud could be heard as the kunai imbedded itself in the wall a meter behind Madara.

Madara stopped and looked at Naruto in somewhat disappointment. "I expected more from you Naruto. You should have remembered that I am capable of turning any part of my body intangible."

Naruto smirked "Oh trust me, I didn't' forget." Naruto then proceeded to hold up a ram sign and send out a pulse of chakra.

Madara's one visible eye widened as he turned around just in time to see a paper tag wrapped around the handle of the kunai stuck in the wall explode.

Hinata stood hunched over gasping for air as she stared down her father who was doing the same thing. They had been fighting intensely for well over two hours now; however, neither of them seemed close to their limit. The entire clan was mildly shocked at this since many of them knew Hinata did not have the best stamina. During the fight many of the clan members had resorted to activating their Byakugan to estimate how much longer both of them would be able to continue and were put off by how Hinata seemed to rival her father in chakra capacity. Both were looking worse for wear though. Hiashi had several torn muscles and slight internal bleeding in his abdominal region while Hinata had random tenketsu points all over her body shut off from her father's strikes. However, unlike her father, every time she received a blow that would cause internal damage it would quickly heal itself after a few minutes of fighting. It was something that perplexed Hinata but she was never able to give it any thought due to her father's hard pressed attacks. Regardless though, the random shut off tenketsu points were making it more difficult for Hinata to fight and every time she attempted to turn them on again her father would attack. After all was said and done this battle was going to come down to whom was quicker, more accurate, and had the most luck.

Hinata took another deep breath and stood up and as she did she exhaled slowly with Hiashi doing the same thing. Quickly she touched two points on her left arm reactivating them, then turning her attention to her right arm she was about to touch another point but was forced to stop when father's palm thrust forced her to crouch down. Not missing a beat, Hinata did a sweeping kick causing her father to jump up to avoid it while at the same time she pressed three points on her right arm. Coming full circle after her kick she saw her father just landing and wasted no time.

"Eight Trigrams: Air Wall Palms!" she yelled as she thrust three walls of air at her father.

"Kaiten!" Hiashi yelled as he began to rotate and a bluish white orb appeared around him and cancelled out the oncoming attack with a deafening boom.

Hiashi came to a stop but was instantly put on guard when Hinata appeared behind him with the twin lion fists activated again. Going back and forth they danced around the courtyard as they attacked, blocked, and countered each other. Hiashi would hit a tenketsu point somewhere on Hinata and at the same time Hinata would blast an area of Hiashi body causing internal damage. Both of them were in extreme pain but neither of them refused to back down, pushing themselves harder and harder to be the last one standing.

There was a brief lull in the fight where they broke away from each other to reactivate a few tenketsu points. "This is no good, we're evenly matched but he still has experience on me. I need to come up with something before I slip up and he finishes me off." Bending down quickly she activated a few tenketsu points on her leg. Her eyes suddenly grew large as an idea hit her. "It's a long shot but it could be what I need to win!" Standing up she deactivated her lion palms which surprised some in the audience and charged her father who was still trying to activate some of his own chakra points. Seeing her charging he stopped immediately and dropped into a defensive stance. "This is it, I've only got one shot at this!" Hinata told herself as she tried to concentrate through the pain.

Reaching her father she sent a blinding fast roundhouse kick to his head. Ducking under the kick, Hinata waited for her leg to pass directly over her father's head before releasing a large amount of chakra from all the tenketsu points in her leg. The blast of chakra slammed Hiashi into the ground hard enough to cause him to bounce back up into the air. Shifting her stance, she began her onslaught.

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-four Palms."

Hinata's world slowed down, so much so that it appeared as if her father was suspended in air. With quick and precise movements she attacked every single one of Hiashi's chakra points, shutting his body down. To those watching it resembled nothing more than a blur, over in a matter of seconds.

Hiashi landed on his feet, but his shoulders were sagged and his head hung low with his hair in his face. He swayed for a moment and everyone waited on in anticipation for him to fall over but it never came. Seeing this, Hinata pulled her palm back one last time and prepared to strike her father down.

Hanabi was overjoyed at what she had just watched her sister do. She was practically bouncing up and down in place she was so full of excitement.

"I can't believe it, nee-chan won!" she whispered excitedly as she looked up at Neji.

Neji continued to wear his mask, ever stoic as his mind processed what had just happened. "It happened so fast! Is it really over?" Silently he activated his Byakugan and he felt his stomach drop at what he saw.

"Hinata, watch out!"

Hinata drove her palm straight into Hiashi's chest except it never reached. Halfway to his chest Hiashi suddenly looked up with a dark grin on his face. With lightning speed he slapped her had away and began to turn. Hinata's eyes widened in confusion and fear as she realized what was about to happen but didn't understand how it was possible. The world seemed to slow down as Hinata watched her father turn. One second he was simply rotating, the next a massive blue orb erupted from his body engulfing her.

"Kaiten!"

Naruto coughed as he tried to see through the smoke that now filled the room, or at least what was left of it. The entire one side of the room was now missing and open to the outside world as snow began to fall into the room and melt on the scorched wood that was still smoldering. "Looks like that did him in." he thought with a smirk. "No, it didn't. Madara would never go down that easily. Keep your eyes open, he's around here somewhere." Kyuubi said warily. Naruto nodded and pulled out another kunai before slipping into a defensive stance.

"Well that was close."

Naruto looked up to see Madara standing across from him on part of the roof that was still left intact. He gritted his teeth as a scowl graced his face.

"Consider yourself lucky." Naruto spat out.

"Oh I do. After all, I have the Kyuubi jinchuriki right where I want him." Madara said evenly as he stared at Naruto.

Madara prepared to jump and Naruto braced himself. Suddenly a giant wooden mesh wall grew out of the floor boards and separated Naruto from Madara, catching them both off guard.

"Phew, looks like we got here just in time, eh sempai?"

Naruto looked over towards the door to see Yamato holding a hand sign and Kakashi at his side with his Sharingan activated.

"Yeah it does." Kakashi said with a nod before looking over at Madara. "Oh Tobi, fancy meeting you here."

"It's Madara now actually." the masked man said evenly.

Kakashi's eyes widened slightly and Yamato's face darkened.

Madara continued. "So the famous copy cat ninja, Hatake Kakashi, master of a thousand jutsus is here with the living clone of my rival and enemy Senju Hashirama. Those are an interesting choice to be guarding the Kyuubi container indeed, but it makes no difference. The jinchuriki is coming with me."

The roof next to Madara suddenly shifted and changed color and a strange plant that looked like a venus fly trap emerged and opened reveal a white man that looked to only have one side of his body.

"It seems Sasuke is having a little trouble with the kages. You might want to intervene before he becomes just another useless dead body." the strange white man said.

"Alright then, Zetsu go back and monitor the fight I will be there shortly to talk to the kages." Madara said.

Zetsu nodded and sunk back into the roof disappearing.

"What have you done to Sasuke?" Naruto shouted seething with anger now at hearing Sasuke's name being exchanged between the two.

Madara looked at Naruto with brief confusion before shrugging and saying. "Nothing, I simply told him the truth about his brother."

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked warily.

"I told Sasuke about possibly the biggest cover up in all of Konoha's history. I told him about Itachi's involvement in the purge of the Uchiha clan to prevent a coup d'état. Itachi was elected to purge the clan himself and become a rouge ninja. When I told Sasuke this he became enraged. So, just like Nagato, I am using Sasuke how I see fit."

All three leaf ninja stood there in stunned silence. They wanted to retort telling Madara that he was lying and yet there was something about the way he told it that said he was telling the truth.

"There's no way you used Nagato, he was too strong to be used by someone else." Naruto said with a whisper.

Madara shook his head slowly. "No, anyone can be used if they have enough hate and rage to cloud their judgment. Sasuke is the same way, after training so hard to kill the man he's always hated he learned that his brother and last living family member was innocent and died at his hands. He holds nothing but hatred for the village he once called home, blaming it for the reason the Uchihas were killed."

Zetsu once again appeared next to Madara and spoke. "Sasuke is in need of your assistance, if you don't come now he will die."

Madara nodded. "Have you found Danzo yet?"

Zetsu nodded his head.

"Then we are leaving." Madara said as he turned and looked at the group. "Time for us to go Naruto."

"I already told you I'm not going anywhere with you, prick!" Naruto shouted angrily.

"You don't have a say in the matter." Madara said as he leapt from the building straight at the wooden barrier.

When he reached the barrier he slipped through it as if nothing was there and continued on towards Naruto. Kakashi was the first to intervene, coming at Madara with his Raikiri in hand and swung at Madara's neck. Once again the lightning blade passed through the Uchiha and once it had done so he sent a solid knee into Kakashi's chest sending him flying back and gasping for air. Yamato was next, sending a flurry of kicks and punches as the masked man forcing him to back up slightly. Aiming a side kick at his chest, Yamato watched as it passed through him and Madara then sank into the floor disappearing. The next second he was blasted in the back of the head with a flying kick when Madara appeared from the ceiling.

Turning slowly, Madara focused on Naruto who was gritting his teeth and standing in a defensive position.

"Looks like it's just you and me." He said with a hint of humor as his eye smiled evilly through his mask.

In three steps Madara had closed the distance and was on Naruto. Not wanting to go down without a fight, Naruto swiped at Madara and watched it pass through him. Knowing that he would turn solid again, Naruto sent a roundhouse to his ribs forcing him to stay intangible. Madara continued with his momentum and passed straight through Naruto. As soon as they were back to back Madara stopped his jutsu and turned around catching Naurto's hand that held the kunai.

"I win." was all Madara said as he smiled wickedly.

A ripple appeared in the air and began to spin around, sucking everything into the center of the hole that was where Madara's one visible eye was. Naruto could feel himself being sucked into the void and struggled as best he could but it was no use. Naruto closed his eyes and cursed. "Damn it! I thought I would put up a better fight than this!"

Naruto felt himself almost seemingly stretch for a split second before he felt completely normal again.

Kakashi's eyes widened in horror as he watched Naruto disappear in front of Madara.

"What have you done to Naruto?" he demanded as he stood up painfully but quickly.

Madara stood there for a moment, his hand still out as if grasping Naruto. He then lowered his hand and turned to Kakashi.

"Funny, I was about to ask you the same question."

Kakashi couldn't help but show the confusion on his face as he glanced around the room for any sign of Naruto. Madara watched him do this and sighed inwardly. "Another time then I suppose." Activating his jutsu he began to suck himself into the spiraling void.

"Consider yourselves lucky, next time he won't get away." Madara said as he slipped into the floor and completely disappeared.

After confirming that he was gone, Kakashi rushed over and helped up Yamato who stood up with a groan.

"Forgive me sempai; he got the jump on me." Yamato said defeated.

"It's okay." Kakashi reassured him. "He got the jump on both of us." Looking around the room he couldn't help but ask. "Yamato, where is Naruto."

Yamato focused for a moment before his face changed to shock. "H-He's back in Konoha."

Kakashi sighed and pulled his headband back over his Sharingan. "Well I guess we better get back then."

A sudden clearing of the throat caused the two men to turn around and see a very pissed off old lady standing in the doorway.

"You're not going anywhere until you fix this." she said angrily.

Kakashi sighed again and looked Yamato who glumly made the wood release hand sign and began to rebuild the room.

"Oi, boy what are you doing?"

Confused out of his mind, Naruto's eyes snap open to see an ANBU standing in front of him. Looking around he sees that he is no longer in the hotel or in the Land of Iron for that matter.

He turned his attention back to the ANBU and smiles sheepishly. "Ano…where am I?"

The ANBU stared at Naruto for a moment. "Are you seriously that dense?" Naruto was about to yell at the man when the black ops ninja reached up and took off his mask revealing it to be Jihibiki. "It's me baka!"

Naruto stared dumbfounded for a second. "What a minute, if I'm here then that means you summoned me right?"

Jihibiki nodded exasperatedly, "Yes boy, I reverse summoned you with the bit of your blood you gave me last night!"

Naruto let out s big sigh of relief. "God are we lucky, we dodged a huge kunai this time." Kyuubi nodded in agreement. "You can say that again kit." Naruto nodded too. "We're lucky the old man summoned us when he did or else we'd be-"

Naruto's eyes widened in horror as he looked up at Jihibiki. "If you summoned me then that means!"

"Yes boy, it's happened." He said as he pulled out an ANBU cloak and mask. He tossed it to Naruto saying, "Hurry up and put this on. We're out of time."

Neji and Hanabi watched on in horror as Hinata rocketed back across the courtyard and landed in a heap after taking the full force of her father's Kaiten.

"Neji what happened? I thought nee-chan shut down all of father's chakra points!" Hanabi asked confused and horrified at what she just witnessed.

"I don't know what has happened Hanabi." Neji said honestly as he stared on in awe at Hiashi.

Hiashi slowly started walking towards Hinata who was slowly moving around now. Ever nerve ending was screaming at her and body felt as if it had a massive boulder on top of her. "What happened? I don't understand, his tenketsu points should have been shut off and yet he still managed to perform the Kaiten." Struggling up to a kneeling position she looked up at her father who was now standing before her with a smile on his face.

"H-How?" was all Hinata could manage through her now sore throat.

"How? That is simple daughter." Hiashi said as he folded his arms in front of his chest. "I expelled chakra from my tenketsu points each time you were about to strike them. By doing this I managed to negate the effects of your attack and keep my chakra points open."

"B-But I w-watched them c-close." Hinata stuttered out in confusion.

"Well I may have managed to negate the effects of your attack, but that didn't keep them from being shut down temporarily." Hiashi lectured. "But it was short enough to fool you into thinking that you had succeeded in defeating me." He finished the last part with an arrogant smile.

Hinata looked down at the ground in defeat. She couldn't move her body, it would barely respond to the simplest of commands. Her body ached in constant pain; there was no way she was able to continue to fight. "I was so close…" Hinata thought as she felt tears form in her eyes. "Naruto…I'm so sorry I failed you, and now I'll never be able to see you again." Tears were now freely falling from her face and a soft sob escaped her lips. Hiashi's face seemed to frown and furrow for a second before he realized that she was crying and had accepted defeat.

"Honestly, did you ever think that you could beat me? I am the clan head for a reason and a true master in our taijutsu. Not even that pathetic excuse of a fighting style you created was enough to defeat me so why did you even remotely think you had a chance." Hiashi said.

His words cut Hinata deep and she felt her confidence being stripped away from her. "I b-believed that I c-could. I th-thought I h-had changed, that I h-h-had become s-stronger." Hinata whispered to herself that as the tears continued to stream down her face like small rivers and her hands dug down into the dirt. She could feel the frustration building inside of her from her inability to defeat her father.

Hiashi laughed mockingly at her. "You will never change. You will always remain the weak, pathetic, burden that everyone sees you as."

Hinata flinched as she heard the words that her father used on her so many times before. She dug her fingers deeper into the ground as the words echoed in her mind. "He always calls me that, and he's always right. I never improve and I am weak. He has what he wants, I've lost and yet he continues to cut me down. Damn it what does he want from me!" Deep in her soul she felt a fire ignite that seemed to burn hot and angry. She felt her frustration begin to boil up inside of her and her breathing became fast and shallow. She didn't understand why he continued to torment her when he had won the match and it was beginning to make her angry.

"When will you learn?" Hiashi continued paying no attention to Hinata. "You are nothing like that demon spawn."

Hinata's eyes narrowed when she heard him call her Naruto-kun that name.

"No matter how hard you try you will never gain his attention and even if you did I would never allow you to be with that piece of trash."

The fire in her seemed to grow larger and hotter as her father continued to insult him in front of her.

"He is a weapon, a tool for this village and nothing more. The sooner you realize that you and the freak will never be together the sooner you can start acting like a member of this clan."

The last comment caused Hinata to snap. From the deep recesses of her heart she felt her anger flow up out of her and consume her. Her breathing was very rapid and she could hear her heart beating in her ears. With each beat it became louder and louder until it was a deafening roar.

"Shut up." Hinata whispered her voice caked with hatred.

Hiashi frowned and looked down at his daughter.

"You can insult me all you want, but when you insult Naruto-kun in front of me that's taking it too far." she continued and her body shook with rage. "I'll make you pay for saying those things about Naruto-kun. I'll make you regret ever doing what you did to him." A sudden and heavy cloud of killer intent that rivaled her father's earlier suddenly washed over the entire courtyard.

Hinata spoke again but this time her voice sounded deeper. "I'll tear you limb from limb you stuck up arrogant BASTARD!"

Looking up, Hinata stared her father with red, burning, raging, hatred-filled eyes. Suddenly red chakra began to pour from Hinata's stomach and slowly consume her red body. When that was finished a single chakra tail grew from her tailbone and began to flick wildly behind her. Her straight midnight blue hair suddenly became spiky and her nails began to form into claws. Her canines grew longer and revealed themselves as Hinata began to smile wickedly as she moved into a crouching position, never once taking her eyes off of her father. Then her smile grew bigger and more sinister and she exploded from where she was so fast Hiashi barely had any time to bring his arms up to block. Throwing a claw hand forward Hinata aimed for her father's heart, hell-bent on ripping it out of him. Suddenly there was quick flash and Hinata felt something grab her hand and throw her to the side with lightning speed causing her to crash into the wall that lined one side of the courtyard creating a huge crater in it along with a large cloud of dust.

Hiashi watched in amazement as one of the ANBU appeared in front of him and diverted Hinata's attack away from him with ease. Walking towards the wall where Hinata was just thrown he stopped after a few feet and slipped into a defensive stance. Without taking their eyes off of the spot where Hinata was just tossed like a rag doll the shinobi spoke.

"Hiashi-sama…run."

From the cloud of dust a deep and feral growl could be heard that chilled everyone to the bones.
