Chapter 6: The Beast Within.
Hinata and Tsunade continued to jump through the forest towards the giant explosion that had just taken place.
As they made their way towards the smoke cloud that was filling the sky with ashes they eventually came across a blue sandal that was on fire.
Hinata and Tsunade stopped and looked at the sandal as it burned.
Tsunade and Hinata both got a bad feeling in their stomach as they watched the sandal burn.
"I-I really hope that's not Naruto's." Hinata said as she looked to Tsunade.
Tsunade didn't answer as she was looking at something orange stuck in a tree from a distance. Tsunade wondered what it was but she couldn't quite make it out from how far away she was.
"Hinata, Activate your Byakugan and look down there for me." Tsunade said as she pointed off into the distance.
Hinata put her hands up in front of her face and made a special hand sign as she closed her eyes. After a moment Hinata opened her eyes and veins around her face seemed to push against her skin.
Hinata could now see that the orange thing stuck in the tree was indeed Naruto and she could tell he was quite injured.
Hinata felt her heart sink into her stomach.
"That's Naruto!" She shouted as she dashed off towards him leaving Tsunade standing there.
Tsunade quickly caught up with her though once she realized what was going on.
Once Hinata and Tsunade reached Naruto they could clearly see that Naruto's whole body seemed to be covered in burns. Naruto's right foot seemed to be burned the worst though.
Tsunade quickly took action and pulled Naruto out of the tree so she could heal him. Tsunade gently laid Naruto on the ground and started healing his wounds.
It didn't take long before all of Naruto's burns completely healed. Though that was mainly due to the Nine-Tails but, Tsunade did help speed the process up.
After Naruto was completely healed Hinata knelt down beside him.
After a couple seconds of silence passed, Naruto started making growning noises.
"N-Naruto, a-are you a-awake?" Hinata asked him as he opened his eyes gently.
Once Naruto opened his eyes he could have sworn he had seen an angel in front of him. An angel with lavender colored eyes that is.
"H-Hinata? W-What are you doing here? Tsunade you too?" He asked as he looked at both of the Kunoichi in front of him.
"M-Me and T-Tsunade-sama wanted a-apologize f-for lying t-to you. I-I'm s-sorry for making y-you mad at me N-Naruto." Hinata said as she lowered her head in shame.
Naruto felt his heart ache a little as he watched Hinata do this.
"H-Hinata I wasn't mad at you. I-I could never be mad at you, but Tsunade, that's another story." Naruto said as he turned his head to look at Tsunade which made her lower her head in shame.
Hinata blushed at Naruto's words.
"Look Naruto, I'm sorry that I lied to you about that, I just thought that maybe you would be better off not remembering but, clearly I was wrong." Tsunade said.
Naruto grinned a mischievous grin.
"Apology not accepted!" Naruto shouted.
Tsunade was stunned to hear Naruto say this.
"Well why the heck not!?" Tsunade yelled back.
"Because I don't just want your apology, I want a lifetime supply of free Ramen from Ichiraku's, better living conditions, Hinata, the people of the village to leave me alone, a new house, I want Kakashi-Sensei to personally train me 5 days a week, and Gai-Sensei to personally train me on the other 2 days-"
Tsunade and Hinata listened as Naruto kept spitting wants out of his mouth at a super fast rate.
"W-Wait, did Naruto just say that he w-wanted m-me?" Hinata asked herself as she could of sworn that Naruto added her to the list of things he wanted.
"No, no, I must have just been hearing things." Hinata concluded to herself.
"ARE YOU CRAZY I CAN'T GIVE YOU ALL OF THIS STUFF!" Tsunade shouted making Naruto stop listing things.
Naruto crossed his arms.
"Fine, then I'm not coming back to the village." Naruto said.
Tsunade dropped her head in disappointment.
"Alright fine, I might be able to give you some of that stuff but one of those things we are going to have to talk about later." Tsunade said as she winked at Naruto insinuating that she also heard him say that he wanted Hinata.
Naruto smiled a big bright smile that made Hinata blush.
"Good. Now I can't wait to go back to the village!" Naruto shouted.
"Well that's too bad kid cause, now you're never going to go back to your village." Some random voice said.
Hinata, Naruto, and Tsunade all turned to the direction the voice came from.
However they all quickly turned back around with their eyes closed once they realized that the person who said it was completely naked.
"Jeez, don't you have any decency?" Tsunade shouted.
"Well of course I do, I have lots of decency. Didn't you see it? It was hanging between my legs." The man said before erupting in laughter.
"Oh great, he's got jokes to go along with his nudity." Tsunade said as she rolled her eyes and turned back around to face the man.
"What do you want anyway? You pervert." Tsunade asked.
"I'm not a pervert, you are. Besides you're the one looking at a naked man, not me."
"Yeah, listen bud. I don't care, I know I'm pervert but still what do want?" Tsunade asked again.
The man rolled his eyes.
"I want that boy dead! And I promise I will make that a reality!" The man said as another naked man and a naked woman walked up next to him.
"Oh good there's more of you. Just what I needed to see." Tsunade said sarcastically.
Naruto and Hinata both still had their eyes closed, but Naruto slowly started to open his eyes so he could look at Hinata for a moment.
Naruto looked at the girl and he could clearly see that she was blushing uncontrollably.
"I wonder how much of that man she saw?" Naruto asked himself as he felt something like jealousy start to bubble up inside him.
Naruto then stood up and turned to face the naked trio. Hinata kept her eyes closed but she could hear Naruto start to walk away from her.
"He's not actually going to fight these people is he?" Hinata asked herself as she tried her hardest to open her eyes so she could watch Naruto.
"Hey perverts! You said you wanted to fight me right?" Naruto asked with anger in his voice.
"No. We said we wanted to kill you, you stupid brat!" The girl yelled to him.
"Naruto what are you doing? You can't fight them, you don't know what they are capable of!" Tsunade said.
"To be fair granny neither do you! So why don't you just sit back and sip some tea while I beat on these clowns?" Naruto asked rhetorically as he sprinted of towards them.
"Naruto wait!" Tsunade yelled even though it did nothing to stop Naruto.
Naruto continued to run towards the trio of naked people. Something was strange about them though. Even though Naruto got closer and closer to them, they didn't seem like they wanted to move out of the way.
"Don't want to move? Well good, that just makes my job even easier!" Naruto shouted as he firmly planted his fist into the face of the first naked male that had appeared earlier.
But as Naruto's skin touched the man's skin a giant explosion happened once again.
Fire and smoke filled the forest before Naruto was sent flying towards Hinata.
Hinata watched as he flew towards her and she held out her arms to try and catch him.
But Hinata didn't realize how fast Naruto was actually going and once she grabbed him she also started flying through the air until eventually she hit a tree that stopped both of them in their tracks.
Hinata moaned out in pain as her back came in contact with the tree. After a moment though the pain seemed to subside and she started focusing on Naruto.
It only took a few seconds before Hinata realized how strong that explosion really was. As she looked down at Naruto, who was currently knocked out in her lap, she noticed he was completely missing his right arm!
Hinata started panicking. She grabbed Naruto and started to try and wake him up.
"N-Naruto wake up! P-Please wake up!" Hinata shouted as she shook him back and forth but it was to no avail. Naruto was out cold and losing a lot of blood.
Hinata started crying as she quickly tried to look for Tsunade.
She activated her Byakugan and saw that Tsunade was also knocked out from the force of the explosion. She could also see that the three naked people were still standing in the exact same place they were in just a moment ago.
"W-What happened? W-Why did everything just explode?" Hinata asked.
Her question was shortly followed by laughter.
"You still haven't figured it out yet, have you little girl?" A man asked from inside the smoke cloud that surrounded the explosion's epicenter.
"You see, we have a very special kind of Jutsu, one that was passed down to us from our forefathers." The other man said from inside the smoke.
"And let's just say that it makes our skin a little… irritable." The girl said making everyone in the smoke laugh.
"We told you your friend was going to die. I don't know why he didn't just listen to us." One man said.
Hinata started to cry more.
"Help me Naruto." Hinata whispered.
"And now it's your turn little girl!" One of the men said as they all three stepped out from the smoke cloud.
"Help me Naruto!" Hinata screamed as a tear fell onto Naruto's unconscious face.
At this time somewhere deep in Naruto's body a great power had just been awakened.
Naruto's body started leaking a massive amount of red Chakra. Hinata noticed this and she also noticed that Naruto's arm seemed to be growing back!
As the red Chakra continued to flow out of Naruto, Hinata noticed that it was starting to sting her like thousands of hornets or bees.
Hinata gently pushed Naruto off of her so that the Chakra wouldn't touch her anymore.
Naruto's Chakra started forming a red cloak around him with three tails that wiped back and forth. Naruto's arm starting growing back even faster after this happened.
"W-What's wrong with this kid? How is growing his own arm back?" The female nudist asked.
Naruto's Chakra then started to push air away from him with tremendous force. Trees and bushes were torn up from the roots and thrown several meters away.
Hinata watched as Naruto's skin started to peel off of his body as the winds got stronger and stronger. She then also noticed that fourth tail had appeared on his back.
"T-This Chakra is so violent! The air is stinging my skin!" Hinata thought to herself as she watched Naruto transform into some... monster.
Then all of Naruto's skin seemingly evaporated, revealing a strange red and black surface that seemed to move like static around Naruto's body.
Naruto eventually opened his eyes and Hinata was even more shocked to see that Naruto's eyes really weren't even there. There was only but a white glowing socket where Naruto's eyes should have been, and his mouth was now jagged and glowing in the same fashion as his eyes.
"N-Naruto?" Hinata asked as she looked at the monster before her.
The monster screamed into the air with a crazy sounding screech that was also very loud. Hinata had to put her hands over her ears in order to keep her eardrums intact.
The beast that was once Naruto then turned his sights to the naked people that stood before him.
"W-What the hell is thing? I-It can't be human?!" The girl shrieked.
The beast then dashed off towards the trio with incredible speed. Within seconds he was standing right in front of one of the men.
The beast then quickly threw a punch into the man's face that sent him flying for miles through the forest. The man crashed through trees and rocks until he eventually came to a stop at least 4 miles away from where he got punched.
The other two nudists watched in terror as their friend was seemingly killed with one punch.
They started backing away from the monster as it continued to stare in the direction it punched the man. As they backed up one of them accidentally stepped on a twig and broke it with a loud crunching noise.
The beast's head then slowly turned to look at them both.
The beast then quickly grabbed one of the other men by the foot and started slamming him into the ground with a massive amount of force. Each time the man's body hit the ground it shook the Earth all the way to it's core.
The beast continued to beat the man's body into the ground until all of his bones were broken. Then the beast threw the man's corpse into air as high as it could.
He then set his sights on the woman who seemed like she was about to start crying.
"W-Why d-didn't those two e-explode? W-We a-are suppose t-to be u-unbeatable!" The girl said as she turned and started running.
The beast sat there for a few moments before deciding to jump up into the air and land on top of the naked girl with it's fist going clean through her chest and into the ground underneath her.
The beast then lifted his arm and pulled the corpse off of it. The beast grabbed the girl by the legs and by the shoulders and pulled on her as hard as he could in opposite directions. The girl's body quickly gave up and she was ripped completely in half.
Hinata watched in complete horror as the beast had just single-handedly killed all three of the naked people.
Hinata was frozen with fear as she couldn't believe what she had just seen. Then she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She let out a short but loud scream that alerted the beast of her presence.
Hinata looked over to where the hand had been placed on her shoulder and she saw that it was in fact Tsunade.
"L-Lady T-Tsunade? W-What's wrong with N-Naruto? W-Why is he acting like that?" Hinata asked while looking at Tsunade with eyes that screamed worry.
"That's not Naruto! Come on we have to get out of here!" Tsunade said as she grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her up to her feet.
"W-What do y-you mean t-that's not N-Naruto?" Hinata asked.
"There is no time for that! We have to go now!" Tsunade screamed as she ran off while holding Hinata's hand tightly.
The beast watched as the two of them tried to run off into the forest. But the beast quickly jumped into the air and landed in front of Tsunade and Hinata, blocking their path.
Tsunade put her arm out in front of Hinata and pushed her behind her.
"Naruto? I know you're in there and I need you to let us go. You did your job, you saved me and Hinata. It's time to calm down now." Tsunade said.
The beast looked at her for a few moments before it titled it's head to the side and fixed its gaze on Hinata.
The beast then gently pushed Tsunade out of the way so he could see Hinata better.
The beast then slowly started approaching Hinata.
"Hinata just stay calm and don't do anything rash." Tsunade said.
Hinata watched as the beast got closer and closer to her. It was obvious that she was afraid as she was slowly backing up away from the beast.
Eventually though Hinata backed up into a tree and the beast continued to get closer.
Hinata pressed her back all the way up against the tree and closed her eyes.
"P-Please don't hurt me Naruto." Hinata pleaded.
The beast tilted its head like a confused puppy dog after Hinata said this.
After a moment Hinata finally opened her eyes and she looked at the beast in front of her.
Her eyes locked with the beast's and Hinata noticed that the beast's eyes eventually turned back to their original beautiful blue color.
The beast then held up it's hand in front of Hinata.
Tsunade jumped a little as she thought the beast was about to hit Hinata but it was really quite the opposite.
Hinata lifted her hand up and placed it against the beast's hand. Hinata watched as the red Chakra evaporated around her hand, revealing Naruto's bare skin once again.
Hinata then locked her fingers together with Naruto's hand and the beasts red Chakra then turned a very pretty blue color before it all evaporated as well, leaving nothing but a shirtless Naruto with bruises and burns all over his body.
Hinata stared at Naruto's beautiful eyes for several moments until they rolled back into his head.
"Hinata." Naruto whispered as he fainted and fell face first into the ground.
Hinata was blushing like crazy moments after that happened. Tsunade then walked over and picked Naruto up.
"Come on Hinata. It's about time I tell you why Naruto got Tortured in the first place." Tsunade said as she walked off with a very silent Hinata walking behind her with a blush on her face.
Chapter 6: End.
Holy hell this was a long chapter! It's the longest one yet! So much for shorter chapters…
