Naruto (Earlier this Year/Late 2013)

Fallen Angel

Fall to Reality

"Abandon Hope, All ye who Enter Here"

-Dante (Dante's Divine Comedy) The Gates of Hell Inscription

"Hinata-c*Gasp*-han, I'm sorry - coughing - I'm going to have to *Gurgling noise* break my promise, but I'll -Spluttering and a hacking cough - give you the strength you need, Fūinjutsu: Remembrance of the Fallen, -More coughing-" Naruto makes several hand seals hampered by the fact several kunai are imbedded in his chest and a Naginata has been shoved right through the center of his chest. He jams his hand on Hinata's stomach right over her naval, Hinata's throat has been slit and she's bleeding out while choking on her blood. A flash of bright light occurs, Naruto is gone and Hinata's throat is healed. Hinata falls unconscious on the bloodied battlefield cover in her own and Naruto's blood. She was found curled up in a fetal position hours later by Kakashi. She would remain unresponsive for two months, grieving for Naruto and hating his sacrifice.

-Hinata's POV-

Nothingness, that is what my life has become now that Naruto is dead, my father worries over me for the first time in years, I can almost laugh at the irony. Naruto fulfilled one of his promises, he got my father to see me as a daughter again and he managed to get Hanabi to seem me as a sister. I just wish that his death wasn't the cost required, how will I go on? The center of my world has been torn out and cast away, I remember reading the stories from that strange book from the west called 'The Bible' I remember how it said that Tenshi (Angels) fell from Heaven and were cast down onto Earth or into Hell. Is this what the Tenshi felt as they woke on Earth or in Hell, this nothingness, this lack of desire, lack of hope, lack of dreams? Will I ever find hope again? I lost the only man I'll ever love and the cruelest irony, I never got to tell him I love him. I ho- That's strange, I hear voices, I wonder who has come here, not Father or Hanabi that's for sure. I listen hard "... Damn girl, she's mourning that Demon Fox. I wonder why Hiashi puts up with it, she's weak! Just like the damn Demon and that Branch kid Neji. We should put her down"

I don't stop to think, I'm feeling something other than despair for the first time in months, I'm feeling anger... no, Rage is more accurate. I dash out to the corridor, I see three Elders standing around, talking to one another. The looks on their faces when they see me are a mixture of pity and disgust. I'm so enraged that I let the feeling out, they turn pale from the shout I just screamed, I charge forwards, slamming my chakra-infused palm into the first elders chest, He falls over screaming in what looks like terrible agony. I charge the second elder, my vision has gone red, it's like blood is covering everything, I don't know what terrifies me more, the fact that I like the sounds of pain and horror coming from the elders, or that I want to cause more pain. I charge forward and hit both of the elders simultaneously using 'Twin Lion Fist', One blow to each elder's chest, They fall over screaming and coughing up blood. It's definitely a fatal blow. I hear a gasp of horror and turn to see Hanabi standing there with her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open in horror. I gaze sadly into those iridescent eyes and then burst through the outer wall of the house and climb over the compound wall.

I remember listening to Naruto's stories about his adventures, I remember him telling me about the 'Edo Tensei' and how it was used to bring people back from the dead but at a terrible price, more importantly he told me that it was kept in the Forbidden Scroll of Konoha. The most important piece of information I have though is a way to get into the archives where it is kept and escape without being caught. Luckily it is just after midnight or this would be harder. I reach the Hokage's tower and sneak in, I avoid the ANBU patrols, They were so easy to see it wasn't funny. I sneak into the archive and grab the scroll and a strange crystal ball next to it. I manage to escape the tower without being seen and make a break for the wall furthest from the Hyūga Compound, the one that leads to the north and Otogakure, I'm happy that I'm not wearing my Hitai-ate or otherwise I'd have to take it off for tonight, I Hinata Hyūga, am betraying and abandoning Konohagakure no Sato. I'm going to study the scroll while searching for Orochimaru, when I find him I'll trade the scroll for information on the 'Edo Tensei' that only he would know. I don't care if I'm damned for this, I will bring Naruto back! My stomach feels cold like ice is growing in my womb, I don't know why this is happening but I'm pressing on, I've turned my back on everything that Naruto stood for but I can't turn back now. I will bring him back. Nothing else matters.

"-and so, An angel full of purity fell. XIII - The lost and devastation caused by the death of the one she loved blacking her wings and twisting her mind until she fell. XIV - From the highest perch of Heaven on Earth, unto the hell of madness, and there she stayed reviling in horror and torment, She became the Fallen Angel"

Chapter 2, Statements 12-14 "The Fallen Angel, The Prodigal Sister and the Selfless Sacrifice"

First Book

Hell 1: The Hunt

Hanabi's POV, Night of The Fall.

I'm walking over to my sister's room as always. I'm scared for her, ever since she got back from that mission all she has done is cry and sleep. She rarely eats, I hope she'll be okay, I'm miss my Onee-chan so much. Hinata isn't the same and I think she'll never be the same. I wonder- *Pain-filled Cry/Shout* What the hell was THAT? It can from Hinata's room! Sister!. I race towards the house hearing more shouts and my sister's voice. I- Oh Kami. There's so much blood! Hinata, she's standing there covered in it. She looks at me and, is she sad? She blows out the wall behind her. Where is this Red Chakra coming from? It looks so evil! It feels… Like hatred and Hope? It's impossible to tell if it is full of anger… or regret! What has happened to my sister.

I try to chase after her, but she's just too fast I can't keep up! Onee-chan why are you doing this? I follow her trail to the Hokage's Tower. The place is in an uproar, I heard the Jounin saying that Onee-chan stole the Forbidden Scroll and the Hokage's Mirror Crystal (A/N I've never heard a name for that crystal ball). I see Tsunade-sama. She sees me!. "Hanabi Hyūga, What are you doing here?" I tell her.

"I'm following my sister's trail, I was going to see her when I heard a shout and ran to her room to see her standing in a pool of blood surrounded by three dead elders, I think. I Think she's gone mad. She looked at me and it looked as if she was sad or regretful, and that Red Chakra. It was so full of Malice… but also regret and disappointment? I couldn't tell" Tsunade-sama gives me a strange glance but then.

"Your sister had a Red Chakra cloak?" Tsunade-sama now looks worried and at the same time relieved. I nod. Tsunade-sama seems to be thinking on something and then says "So that's what he did. I wonder… is he really dead?" I instantly now she's talking about Naruto Uzumaki, the one my sister had a crush on. But according to records they never found his body. Wait a minute! He was a sealing prodigy! And I remember Hinata saying something… what was it.

That's It. "Fūinjutsu: Remembrance of the Fallen" I suddenly here a gasp and turn to see a strange man with white hair.

He suddenly says "Did you just say 'Remembrance of the Fallen'?" I nod. He breaks out in a smile and shouts "That little Bastard, He was right under our noses the whole time!"

I look at the man with confusion in my eyes, he looks at me and then says "The jutsu Naruto used was one that allows a person to survive a fatal blow, the one thing I don't know is where the Gaki is now unfortunately… I'm also guessing that's the one thing that would draw your sister back to the village."
