Sleepless D: I would like to ask for people to review, because I see a lot of viewing, and yet the only reviews I get are so far bad. I don't know if what I'm doing is good or not and it's so far pointing to the bad side. So please review if you do like this story, it makes my mind relax more and less stress. And now I was to update this, but it didn't save so I had to redo it, so that's a large buzz kill for my writing. Peace out.

Hinata stares at Kakuzu, her eyes activating and glares at him with cold eyes. "So should we do this fast or fun?" Susumu smirks and pulls out a few shuriken.

"I don't think you should act so recklessly Susumu." Eri says, hearing the shuriken jingle slightly. "Otherwise you'll expose your only capabilities."

Hinata gets into her Gentle Fist stance. "We finish this now." Hinata tells them, gaining a disappointing sigh from Susumu.

"Hinata…this guy is a close to mid-ranged fighter, going in close is dangerous." Kakashi warns her, but doesn't get a response. "And he's got three hearts, we already took out two. So we've got to kill him three more times."

Susumu smirks and throws the shuriken in the direction of Kakuzu. Kakuzu just steps sideways, soon noting the glint of wires attached to them. Hinata and Eri launch towards the ancient Akatsuki member. Susumu pulls his hands back, causing the shuriken to fly back and aimed at Kakuzu's back. Kakuzu catches them easily with his wires and chuckles. "Just how pathetic do you think I-" Kakuzu began, but his body freezes and look in shock and confusion.

"Now Kakuzu! The Lord of the Dance!" Susumu yells, soon having Kakuzu's feet tap the ground rapidly, tap dancing. Everyone but Hinata and Eri look confused and shocked when they see him dancing. "Now sing!" He yells, gaining a very creepy version of 'I'm a little teapot'.

Eri slides towards Kakuzu, her palm tapping his abdomen and the Akatsuki member explodes, flesh, bone and wires flying in a form of a skull face. Hinata soon follows and thrusts both palms at the remains and the area explodes into dust. The area cracks and seconds pass before the dust settles, showing a mass of wires and flesh across the ground, blood oozing round the ground. Everyone just looks shocked and surprised by what just happened. Susumu does a small victory dance.

"Wait…" Ino says, looking at Susumu while Kakashi orders Sakura, Sai and Pakkun to back up Shikamaru. "How did you know his name was Kakuzu?" She asks with some confusion since they just arrived.

"He's the highest ranking rogue ninja back in my home area. He killed the council members and has us confused to his continued existence." Susumu tells them, gaining a nod since Kakuzu did say he tried to kill the First Hokage.

"Don't let your guard down." Eri warns, taking a few steps back. "I am hearing movement." She tells them, making everyone ready themselves.

They watch as several wires and blood masses start moving and the skin is being reattached. It slowly forms into a humanoid form, but soon growing eight, tentacle like arms coming from his head and torso. Kakuzu coughs a little and an arm rubs his abdomen. "You ruptured several organs…I'll have to replace those as well…" Kakuzu tells them, sounding angry as he scans the three. He notes to not get touched by any means from Susumu and close combat would be suicidal against Eri and Hinata would probably be as tricky to fight as well. He scans at the others, seeing two new arrivals, Yamato and Naruto, though he soon recognises him as Naruto summons a few Shadow Clones.

"Looks like we're having fun." Susumu smirks, pulling out a couple of knifes from hiding places and gets into a combat stance.

"Hold on!" Naruto calls, walking forward with his clones. "Let me handle this from now on." He tells them, his eyes becoming slit as he wishes to protect his friends and wants to test his strength.

"No, Naruto." Hinata says, making everyone look at her and raise an eyebrow. "I'll go on ahead, and this time…you follow." Hinata tells him, making Naruto a tad confused.

Hinata launches forward, soon followed by Susumu while Eri circles round. Kakuzu glares and coughs in pain, feeling one of his hearts beat irregularly from the last attack. He can tell his Fire Mask is going to be awkward for the time being and thought best not to use it too often. His Wind Mask opens its mouth. "Wind Style: Pressure Damage!" Kakuzu yells, firing a large scale attack at Hinata.

Hinata skids to a stop and thrusts both palms at the attack, having both air attacks collide, yet Kakuzu's was a tad more powerful. Hinata crosses both her arms as her feet stab into the ground, tearing through rocks and dirt as she slides back from the force. She soon feels two feet land on her back, Susumu soon kicking hard and throwing Hinata forward as he hits the ground. Hinata continues onward, having stopped being thrown back any further and continues aiming for Kakuzu.

Kakuzu watches, seeing Hinata rip through the smoke caused by their attacks and grows a little. He swings one of his tentacles at Hinata, the force ripping through the rock. Hinata quickly spins in response. "Rotation!" He yells, causing a large sphere of chakra.

The tentacle arm hits the sphere, ripping several threads from it, but it quickly circles round it and grips hard. The sphere soon stops from the friction and Hinata curses a little before the threads quickly enclose her and lifts her from the ground. She feels several threads stab into her body and tightening round her.

"Hinata!" Naruto yells, rushing forward with his clones, two of them helping form the Rasenshuriken. The power of it and sound coming starts causing the air itself to vibrate and Kakuzu looks at him, seeing the power being emitted and could tell that was dangerous to even get hit by. He fails to notice Hinata focusing and suddenly having his tentacle explode from a sudden explosion of chakra pressure coming from Hinata. He looks, seeing Hinata drop and fall towards the ground, still conscious and grows annoyed that she escaped him before he could take any organs. He hears a sudden pattern of footsteps, glancing and catching Eri being dangerously close and he quickly jumps and the Wind Mask aims at Eri, firing at her.

Eri quickly slams her foot on the ground, causing it to explode from the force and the sudden pressure causes the Wind Jutsu to be directed upwards slightly. The attack flies upwards, a few inches and Eri manages to duck under the attack since she made a small crater. She runs up and out of the crater, soon hearing a large, rapid movement that she determines as one of Kakuzu's tentacles. She quickly moves her arm, hitting the side of her first against it, causing it to explode into threads and specks of blood. Kakuzu ignores her and quickly swings another tentacle at Hinata, hitting her and she crashes into the ground. Hinata coughs in some pain and stands up, catching a glimpse of Kakuzu's tentacle swinging down and crashes where she is. Everyone sees this and panic a little, but soon see Hinata rolling away from the smoke and jumps onto her feet.

Naruto launches towards Kakuzu, soon having three of his clones destroyed and loses focus, losing his Rasenshuriken. He looks at Kakuzu, calculating as he sees Eri charging right at Kakuzu while Susumu keeps rushing at him as well, but he kept avoiding both of them and grew annoyed. Both his mask mouths open and aims at them, both aiming at the two.

"Naruto!" Yamato yells, quickly appearing at his side and Naruto quickly summons two Shadow clones and they quickly fuse water and wind and launch it at Kakuzu's attack. The Jutsus collide and counter each other perfectly, leaving only a large amount of steam remain. Kakuzu coughs and clenches his fists as he feels his Fire Mask's heart spasm. He sees rapid movement in the steam and Hinata appears, her fingers quickly shooting forward and smash into his chest, causing him to stumble backwards. He coughs up more blood and his tentacles soon do a pincer manoeuvre. She quickly twists her body, narrowly avoiding the collision, but Kakuzu's foot collides with her and she's sent flying. She skids across the ground, rocks cutting into her elbow as she tries to keep balance and soon rolls onto her feet. Blood stains her bandages on her right elbow and she coughs a little.

Kakuzu coughs hard, feeling his heart give out and he splutters up blood, holding his chest and growls a little as he links his body to his other hearts. 'This is getting ridiculous!' He yells to himself, feeling his heart give up and quickly ducks from Eri's punch. He sends his fist at her, hitting her and sending her tumbling back. She quickly tilts her head and jumps away, making him confused, soon feeling a vibrating sensation. His eyes widen and he quickly looks round, seeing Naruto there and having his Rasenshuriken hit. Kakuzu feels an immense pain as he is sent hurtling at what felt like a hundred miles per hour. The Rasenshuriken explodes, causing a giant sphere of chakra and needles flying everywhere through his body, cutting and shredding his body and chakra coils.

Susumu comes out of the steam and waves himself with his hand, trying to cool off. He looks and seems somewhat impressed with what he sees with Naruto's attack. He yawns a little and walks towards the Leaf ninja, smirking as he winks at Ino. Kakashi is very impressed with Naruto's attack, but surprised that Hinata managed to destroy another heart and one of her teammates damaged another heart. Eri wonders over to Hinata as the Hyuga takes a few breaths and the pain in her body soon feels the extent of the damage Kakuzu did to her. She feels a few cracked bones and the threads that cut into her, and then the rocks that cut into her elbow.

Naruto feels exhausted, but he looks towards Hinata, seeing Eri helping Hinata and he walks his way to her, to tell her how well she did and help as well. Ino soon came to help, putting Hinata back onto the ground and starts healing her a little so she can move without difficulty. She then checked on Naruto, doing the same thing while Eri refused Ino's services.

"Hinata…" Naruto calls to her, catching her attention and smiles her way. "You…you were impressive. But please, don't do something like that again." Naruto asks her, feeling very concerned as he sees Ino pop back over to Hinata and checking her over once again.

Hinata shakes her head. "It's like I said…Naruto. I don't want to be left behind. I wanted you to follow me." She tells him, making him a little confused, but nods anyway.

"Right Hinata…" Ino says with some concern. "I think you'll need to be checked in the hospital when we get back. I'm sensing a few fractures, but I want to make sure you haven't broken anything." Ino tells her and looks at her carefully, slightly confused since she usually blushes round Naruto or stutters anymore round him. She'd of guessed she's gained confidence, but feels like something's wrong, she can't quite tell, but she knew something is up.

Naruto gets up and holds out his hand for Hinata, wanting to help her up. She takes it, soon feeling pins and needles in her hand and feels herself pulled up and Naruto supporting her weight. Hinata just lets him and could smell his sweaty scent easily and feel his heart rate. She smiles a little, but no one catches it as they get ready and go to follow Sakura and Sai to get Shikamaru.

Several hours pass and Hinata is waiting in the hospital, having been given a room. Hinata sits on the edge of her hospital bed. She could feel the sun giving life and death coming from the hospital. It was giving her a small headache since she's not use to them at the same time. She hears the door swing open and close and Sakura walks in, looking nervous and sad as she looks at the papers again, almost as if she's trying to make sure she's reading it right. She takes a breath and stays there for several moments, trying to think of how to talk.

"Hinata…I've checked you over. You've got some stress fractures on come areas of your body, in which we've dealt with." Sakura tells her, seeing Hinata rub her wrist. "But I did some scans and…I'm not sure how to tell you." Sakura says, closing her eyes and taking a breath. "We found that you seemed to of suffered an injury some time ago, if I had to give an estimate perhaps over two years ago. You suffered some trauma around your lower abdomen and pelvis…the damage has-" Sakura began, but Hinata just stands up and walks towards the door.

"I know, it happened during my visit here a couple of years ago." Hinata says, making Sakura surprised, mostly by her tone of voice is so cold and emotionless. Sakura opens her mouth, but Hinata cuts her off. "It isn't important." She says and leaves the room. "I'm going home if you want me."

Sakura just stood there, looking at the door and was speechless. 'What happened to you Hinata?' She wonders, really worried about her since she and every girl friend she has pegged Hinata as a nurturer and would be a mother in the future. She sighs in sadness, needing to talk to someone about this and looks at the time. She then heads out and aims to talk to Tsunade about this since she is the head of this hospital and could talk to her about her worries.

Naruto sighs a little, a tad annoyed of having gotten lost in the hospital, trying to find Hinata since she's supposed to be in hospital too. He wonders round for a few minutes more and wondered back quickly as he found himself in the morgue and that creeped him out. "Ah, there you are, Naruto." A voice comes from behind him.

Naruto turns round to see Sai and Naruto takes a breath in relief since he's found someone he knows. "Hey Sai, what's up?" Naruto asks his teammate.

"I was sent here to get you prepared for an event later today." Sai informs him, soon looking at Naruto's bandaged up wrist and thinks for a second. "Maybe I should've gotten a 'Get well soon' card." Sai wonders, remembering that being in a book he read. "Where might one get one of those?"

Naruto waves the question off. "What event?" Naruto asks, hoping he'll forget about the card since it'd be creepy in his opinion.

"I'm not sure, I think it's a celebration later on, Ino asked me to take you to her house later today."

Naruto nods, a little confused. "Okay…where's Ino's house?"

Sai chuckles a little, but Naruto could tell it was mostly fake. "I have no idea." Sai tell him, making Naruto lower his head in annoyance.

"I don't know where she is either! I barely know where Sakura's is since she kicked me away from it for so long!" Naruto yells in annoyance. "So how were you to bring me there anyway!?"

Sai simply shrugs and chuckles. "Well I hadn't considered that.

"Maybe Sakura or Hinata know." Naruto wonders and starts walking.

"Oh, I saw Hinata leave the hospital a little while ago." Sai tells him, making Naruto annoyed. "And you couldn't tell me this straight away?"

"You never mentioned it." Sai informs him, gaining a defeated nod from Naruto. "I believe Sakura should still be in hospital, we best check with her." Sai says and begins walking with Naruto

Hinata sits in her family compound garden. She feels somewhat nostalgic and unusual sensation being home once again. She shakes her head, having spent a large amount of her time underground that she didn't know when it was morning or night. She looks round, seeing a few Hyuga branch members walking down a pathway, bowing to a preteen girl that she recognised as Hanabi. She sees Hanabi not pay them much mind, but catches her sister's eyes looking towards her and a smile forming in the corner of her mouth, easily missed by the untrained eye. Hinata sighs and rubs the scar along the left side of her face, feeling it from the corner of her eye and going down to her jaw. She cut herself there when she became dangerously dehydrated and couldn't cry anymore, cutting it as a sign of her own eternal crying for what happened to her.

Footsteps soon come into earshot and doesn't bother turning as she watches Hanabi talk to a Hyuga servant for a few seconds before vanishing into the house. "Fuck me…how do you get use to this place? It's like Law and Order come here to be re-educated." Susumu's voice comes now, but Hinata could tell it was by his footsteps alone. Both he and Eri were going to stay as her personal guests for the time being, as much as there was disapproval towards Susumu since they remember him from last time. She soon catches him in the corner of her eyes and soon realises he's holding a stone bust of a Hyuga head. "It's very odd that this bust was facing your bedroom door, kind of creepy. And did you know this bust was on a stand that covered a dirty spot on the floor?" Susumu questions, but Hinata didn't really care and watches him throw the bust into the pond nearby. "Seems like you guys are secretly dirty."

"Actually, that was the spot my mother's water broke when she was pregnant with me. Father couldn't find himself to clean it and we couldn't have a dirty spot, so he covered it up." Hinata informs Susumu.

Susumu look in disgust and nearly throws up. "Fucking hell! I touched that thing!" Susumu yells, soon stabbing his hands in the pond and starts washing like mad, trying to get whatever he thought he had off.

Hinata soon catches a glimpse of a guard walking towards her. He looks annoyed and disgusted at Susumu, but ignores him for a second and looks at Hinata. "Lady Hinata. Your father wishes your presence in the council room. And I was also given a note from someone claiming to be your friend." He tells her, passing her a note.

Hinata nods and takes it before leaving, soon hearing the guard yelling at Susumu. Hinata walks through her house, catching a glimpse of Eri in the meditation room and hearing people wonder who she is. She pulls the note out and reads it, stopping for a second and smiles for a second it vanishes. 'Hinata, we're going to celebrate your return and Naruto's recent return. We're going to party until we drop, come round my place round 8. Ino.' Hinata crumbles up the note and puts it in her pocket and soon reaches the council room, waiting outside for a moment. "Enter." She hears her father call.

She enters, seeing a large room with several clan members that are part of the Hyuga Council, sitting and watching her enter and Hinata soon catches sight of her younger sister, Hanabi sitting in the middle of the room, facing her father, Hiashi. Hinata walks into the room and sits down next to her sister, waiting for her father to speak and could feel Hanabi was nervous. "What do you wish to see us about, father?" Hinata asks, tired of the quiet voices and eyes that seem to scream as they observe the two.

"I'm here with the council to discuss the future of the clan. But since you've been away training, and the stature is very different. We are going to wait till Hanabi comes of age and we will be examining you and testing you both to see who would be best to become the Hyuga Head. So I hope that you…Hinata, where are you going?" Hiashi questions, seeing Hinata stand up and walk towards the door she came from, gaining confused and judgemental stares from the other clan members.

"I am unable to become the Hyuga head." Hinata informs them, gaining more confused and disapproval from her attitude.

"And why is that, Hinata?" Hiashi asks, having Hanabi look between the two in confusion.

Hinata looks towards her father and rubs her lower abdomen. "I am uninterested and unable to even produce an heir for the clan." Hinata informs them, her eyes unmoving and gains a few confused looks and a few activating their Byakugan along with Hiashi. They soon see the damage and comments start going about the room.

"How…when…" Hiashi began to ask, sounding both concerned and a hint of anger in his voice. "Did Norio-" Hiashi began to ask, but Hinata cut him off.

"Norio wasn't there when it happened, back when I came back home last time. And if you want to know how, ask a man named Danzo." Hinata informs him, gaining a few whispers before she leaves.

Hanabi looks at her father and then the door, feeling nervous and sees no reaction from her father. She swallows, slowly getting up and leaves for two reasons. First was because she's scared of what her father will do, and second, she's nervous for Hinata's sake and hope's she's okay.

The Hyuga Minute Taker looks at Hiashi, unsure what to do as he just noted the last few things. "Lord Hiashi…what shall you do?" He asks, unsure what else to ask.

Hiashi just sits there, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his brow and he exhales. "Well…firstly I shall make a list of what I'll be doing. Secondly, I shall meet with Lady Hokage and discuss something. Thirdly, I shall meet with Danzo to discuss what I learnt. I shall then stuff and mount his genitals onto my mantelpiece, and then gold plate it with molten gold, shortly before removing them from his body at that point. And that will be the 'Hall of Duvet' as it starts. I shan't go into detail at the present time. I will then find Norio and see how this happened under his watch, and then rinse and repeat." He tells them, getting up and walks out of the room and gains several shivers.

The Hyuga Minute Taker swallows a little and looks at the Elder. "Should we be worried?" One of the council members asks. "He seems to have…lost sanity." She tells their former head.

The Elder just sits there. "I'm actually surprised he was being so calm and took it so well. I personally would've called for the Fourth Shinobi War. And in my book, that is the 'Hall of Duvet'." The Elder says as he gets up and leaves.

The Hyuga Minute Taker looks concerned and leans to the person next to him. "Should I write any of this down?" He asks, feeling nervous.

"Best not…We don't want to be implicated in anything." He says, getting up and leaving to prepare for the worse and the others did the same, or close to.

A few hours pass and Hinata walked towards Ino's home, having Eri and Susumu come with her. Susumu continues to gag every time he looks at his hand. "So what are we doing, Hinata?" Eri asks, ignoring Susumu as he rubs his hand on a nearby woman.

"My old friends are asking me to come and celebrate my return." Hinata tells her.

"Understandable…but don't we have a mission?" Eri asks her team leader.

Hinata opens her mouth, but closes it, remaining quiet and soon reaches Ino's house. She knocks and a few seconds pass before Ino opens it, smiling at Hinata, but didn't gain one back, other than a flirtatious smile from Susumu. Ino waves them in and the three enter. They walk in and Hinata sees everyone she once considered a friend, though Kiba seems to be a little nervous since he remembers that Hinata dislocated his arm the last time. She looks round and soon sees Naruto, smiling a little at the corner of her mouth while Susumu goes following after the pink haired girl. Ino reaches down and grabs Hinata's hand, smiling at her. "Come on, this is going to be fun." She tells her and pulls her into the room.

Hinata just simply nods. 'I might as well do this.' Hinata says to herself, though the feeling of someone holding her hand became unusual since she hasn't really allowed herself to be touched that often.

Naruto sighs a little, glad he found the place, but it was a case of the blind leading the blind with Sai following him and Sakura's vague directions. Naruto looks over, seeing Hinata and smiles, hoping she's okay now and her eyes seem to lighten up. But there's something wrong and he can't help but feel worried and uneasy. 'Something isn't right.' Naruto says to himself.

Sleepless D: Well I hope you enjoyed it, more to come and unusual that I am able to update rapidly if I focus on one story at a time. Please review if you're enjoying it
