I don't own Naruto or any of its characters, I'm just a fan I enjoyed the anime but I love the fanfics even more, they made me fall for the whole franchise.
Chapter 62
Sasuke was not happy to see his mother show interest in the blonde dobe but he decided to let the issue go and concentrate on his self-imposed mission. Sasuke wanted to pack his belongings because he was going outside the village with Kakashi Hatake.
'I will have him teach me that jutsu of his.' Sasuke promised himself with a smirk making it to his handsome face. The Uchiha knew he was angry back in the exams and now that he thought about it, he realized killing Akamaru was a bad idea.
If anything he blamed Sakura as well, in the back of his mind he wanted to push her away, and killing Akamaru was supposed to lower her standards of him, he hoped it worked. Now he thought he might have lowered Hinata's standards for him.
Sasuke did not know how to feel about Hinata being just downstairs. She and the blonde seemed to be even closer in Sasuke's eyes like they had a whole bubble surrounding them that no one else could get inside. The weird part is that bubble seemed to be getting smaller and smaller.
'I will pop that bubble with a Chidori one of these days.' Sasuke found his bag full a few minutes later with all his necessities packed, he sighed and slung the bag on his back before exiting the room and making his way downstairs.
Sasuke found Itachi and Hinata sitting in silence, both smiling about something or another. Sasuke wondered where the blonde was. He dropped his bag in a corner of the living room and made his way to the kitchen opening the door slowly. Sasuke did not expect to find his mother covered in flour or Naruto in tomatoes, the kitchen looked like a war zone.
'Why do they all act so weird around the dobe?' Sasuke had to question, looking at his mother who had a big grin on her face with a 5 litter bottle of cooking oil in her hand, and the blonde who was in a corner looking for all intent and purpose caught between a rock and a hard place.
"There is no escape Naru-Chan, hahaha." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his mother's words, he knew his mother had her childish antics but the scene in front of him was like two kids making a mess.
"Look Aunty it was just a harmless prank, let's just sWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG!!" Naruto's pleas became a cry of horror a second later. Sasuke frowned at the name used to address his mother but smirked when his mother threw Naruto with the oil and drenched him in the liquid.
'A great fireball jutsu would make this scene perfect.' Sasuke thought before clearing his throat which had Mikoto jumping and looking towards the kitchen entrance only to find Sasuke in the doorway looking at her in amusement, the woman blushed a second later.
"Revenge!" Naruto shouted jumping on Mikoto from the side and wrapping his arms around her neck to hang off of her. Mikoto looked down at Naruto's grinning face and smiled down at him patting his thick mane of blonde hair. The mother of two and godmother to one didn't mind that Naruto was drenching her in oil as well.
'He smiles so much like his mother.' Mikoto couldn't believe how quickly Naruto got over the neglect she put him through. She did not understand why he opened up so quickly but she was glad for it. He asked her many questions about his mother and her life, and Mikoto told him about how much he resembled Kushina in her eyes.
"What are you doing dobe?" Sasuke asked with an undertone in his voice that had Mikoto smirking.
"I think Sasuke-Chan is jealous." Mikoto told Naruto who still hung off her like a scarf, the blonde blinked not having noticed Sasuke in the room with them but seeing his frown Naruto smirked.
Sasuke wanted to murder Naruto a second later when the blonde kissed his mother on the cheek which had his mother blushing.
"She's my mother now." Naruto told the Uchiha boy while he released his hold on said mother and landed on his feet.
Mikoto chuckled at the blonde's attics, he was trying to get a reaction out of Sasuke by kissing her and calling her his new mother. Mikoto was surprised by the act because she forgot the last time she was given a kiss. Her two boys had never done it before, Mikoto placed her hand on Naruto's oily hair and ruffled his hair, the affections she held for her best friend returning full force and she directed them all to the energetic blonde.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted deciding to look instead at the mess his mother and teammate made of the kitchen.
"Sasuke dear, please show Naru-Chan to the bathroom to clean up." 'Naru-Chan?' Sasuke was very close to breaking a genjutsu but then he remembered the dobe was bad at the art. So bad at it that he is considered to have no talent for the art.
«««««"»»»»»
A few minutes later Naruto and Sasuke found themselves in the Uchiha bathroom. Sasuke let the blonde inside to get cleaned and he went back to the living room.
"Where is Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked him when he sat down.
"He is getting cleaned up." The Uchiha replied to the blind girl who nodded. Itachi raised an eyebrow at that but Sasuke told him the blonde and their mother caused a huge mess in the kitchen which had Hinata smiling for some reason.
Hinata had felt Naruto's emotions when he spoke with Mikoto. She was happy because she felt Naruto forgive the woman and even accept her, which made the blonde happy and consequently made Hinata happy as well.
The three people in the living room heard the front door opening and closing before they heard footsteps that got closer and closer to them. The person who entered was none other than Izumi Uchiha who had Itachi's emotions register happiness and love.
Hinata squinted her eyes in concentration and couldn't believe what was going on with Izumi because she was the first person she felt with a distinctly different presence. Concentrating on her sensory ability she smiled again, life was very pleasant Hinata thought concentrating on the stranger's presence.
"Itachi-Kun!!" Hinata heard a female voice exclaim in happiness with emotions that registered love for her sensei. Hinata knew Itachi was happy to see the woman even if he sighed in exasperation.
"Good morning Sasuke-Kun." The voice greeted Sasuke before the owner of said voice looked to Hinata and recognition registered in her emotions and she got excited. The blind Hyūga was confused, she thought she would remember the presence if they spoke before.
"Hn" the Uchiha grunted in greeting with the utmost respect.
"Izumi-Chan, this is Hinata Hyūga a member of team 7." Itachi introduced which had Hinata remember the name. The Hyūga giggled remembering what Naruto told him about the woman and how she had Shisui seeing a genjutsu of Itachi naked.
"Hello." Hinata greeted sweetly, anybody who looked out for Naruto and got a good review from the blonde was someone Hinata would be happy to get to know.
"Hinata Hyūga, Naruto-Kun told me so much about you!" Izumi said in an excited voice. Hinata felt Sasuke's confusion at the fact Naruto and Izumi knew each other but he was quick to let the emotion go. Izumi moved to the Hyūga and sat opposite her examining her features and her unseeing eyes before she smiled at her.
"You are even cuter than he said you would be." Izumi complemented and Hinata blushed, she did not know Naruto was telling people she was cute. "I heard you eat even more than him… tststst." Izumi teased in the same breath as her complement which had Hinata turning red.
"Ncoooh!!!" Izumi decided to stand up and move to Hinata to bury her face in her breasts. "How could you Itachi-Kun? You hid such a cute girl all for yourself." Hinata was now on fire but in such proximity, she was able to sense Izumi's presence even clearer which confirmed what she felt earlier.
"Do you have a boyfriend Hinata-Chan?" Hinata turned supernova. She was quick to understand why Naruto liked the woman so much, she was just like the blonde, they were both a bunch of teases.
Hinata nodded in Izumi's bosom which had the woman squealing in delight but nobody else saw the nod so they just thought Izumi was crazy when she squealed for no apparent reason.
"Who is it, who is it?" Hinata didn't know who was the kid between the three of them in the hug anymore because she felt like the oldest one with the way the older woman was behaving.
Hinata looked in the direction of the hallway leading to the stairs, a signature was approaching them. Izumi feeling Hinata's head turn left followed her example out of curiosity, it was not a second later that Izumi's emotions blossomed into a bonfire of affection for Hinata's blonde lover Naruto Uzumaki.
"Izumi-nee-chan!!!" Naruto exclaimed in happiness at seeing the Uchiha woman he had the pleasure of working with before and he ran up to her jumping. Hinata thought Izumi would let go of her but she did not, she simply moved Hinata to her right side and accepted Naruto on her left side. Each now buried in each of her breasts
"Naruto-Kun!" Izumi said hugging the blonde. Hinata felt Sasuke's annoyance, and the Uchiha genin stood up walking out of the living room. Hinata felt sad for her teammate, Naruto was not trying to take over Sasuke's life, the blonde was just lovable due to his open personality.
«««««"»»»»»
"Sasuke." Sasuke swore inwardly when he heard his father calling him. The youngest of the Uchiha head household looked to his right to see his father sitting on a chair in their backyard under a tree reading a newspaper. Sasuke sighed and walked up to Fugaku Uchiha, his father.
"Yes, Father." Sasuke said when he got closer, the older man folded up his newspaper and looked at his son. The man knew his sons well, they could hide their emotions all they wanted but their body language spoke to him.
"Something in your mind?" The father of two asked, Sasuke did not want to have this conversation so he shook his head no.
"Have your friends arrived?" Fugaku asked, the Uchiha man was no fool. Sasuke nodded which gave Fugaku the first clue he needed.
"Is your mother talking to Naruto-Kun?" Fugaku asked again. He knew his wife wanted to reveal who she was to the blonde because she talked about it the whole night the previous day. He tried to talk her out of it telling her that it was against the law but she would hear none of it. Her only response was that Naruto needed to know more than anyone in the world and she as a mother could not have dinner with the boy and act like nothing was wrong.
"Take a sit Sasuke." Fugaku told his son, Sasuke knew that voice he used. Fugaku was always telling Itachi things his big brother would tell him he would understand when he got older. Sasuke took a sit on the grass and paid rapt attention his eyes locked with his father's.
"How old are you now Sasuke?" Fugaku began and Sasuke smiled an honest smile. When Itachi joined Anbu his father began just like that.
"13 father." Sasuke replied seriously, schooling his features to show his father he could also be a man of no teeth when the moment called for it. Fugaku nodded liking the discipline in his son, the Uchiha head repositioned himself on the chair and sat straight his back bent forward so he could place his hands on his lap and place him a little closer to Sasuke in height, to show the little man he was eager for this conversation.
'He thinks of me as an equal.' Sasuke had to quickly hide the awe he felt at the gesture from his dad. Fugaku got serious and so did Sasuke.
"You are now a young man with a year worth of experience, that is an old man in Uchiha culture." Sasuke listened and knew why it was so, Sasuke Uchiha took pride in one thing overall in the world, his pride as an Uchiha.
"The Uchiha Clan as a clan had the highest death rate in the account of child soldiers in all the Nations." Sasuke's answer was correct and his father nodded.
"Do you know why that is Sasuke-Kun?" Sasuke frowned not understanding the question. Fugaku's pause only lasted as long as Sasuke's hesitation did because he was quick to continue as though the question was rhetorical.
"The Uchiha did not innovate, The Clan did not relax, and most of all, the clan did not try, not until Madara Uchiha." Sasuke nodded, Fugaku's act not escaping him, the father caught his son's hands grabbing onto the grass he sat on. Sasuke's actions led Fugaku to think his son was feeling inadequate so the father had to do good for his son and teach him values.
"It is okay to make mistakes Sasuke, that is how we learn." Sasuke again felt awe at his father's wise words and acceptance of his mistakes. His father's hand on top of his head only felt like a blessing his father was laying on him so he nodded twice.
"Yes, Father." Sasuke accepted and 3 seconds later Fugaku released his hand from Sasuke's head.
"The Uchiha clan is a clan filled with the seven deadly sins. Our ancestry is filled with pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Madara Uchiha was the one to break that ancestry for us. He led us to a new age, the age of the hidden villages." Sasuke listened not having known that his father held great respect for the legend that was Madara Uchiha.
"Madara broke the chain of Pride we held for our way by envisioning the village hidden in the leaves with Senju Hashirama. The greed that led our ancestors to betray and slaughter each other for the pursuit of power and The anger we hold for the ones who hurt our loved ones was tamed by Madara Uchiha by the friendship he had with Hashirama Senju." Sasuke nodded this was the most he has ever heard his father speak, he remembered being there when his father was speaking to his big brother but he must have fallen asleep.
"The Uchiha clan is an envious clan that can go to any lengths to get what it wants. Envy is the only sin the man I respect most was unable to defeat with his will of character. The rest was no match for the Mightiest Uchiha to ever live in the history of our clan, a legend that did all that with the help of his best friend Hashirama Senju, another man who had earned his name in the Elemental Nations." Sasuke's hands had loosened on the grass a long time ago, his frustration gone and replaced with interest to learn.
"Through Uchiha Madara, we learned the secret to breaking our Curse of Hatred, the curse that made us what people now believe us to be, savage and untrustworthy individuals because who would trust a man who would pluck out his brothers' eyes for power." Sasuke was confused by the terminology used at the end, did taking your brother's Sharingan give you some kind of power?
"Concentrate Sasuke." Fugaku maybe scolded his son. Sasuke could not tell, his father's voice rang with an undertone to it that demanded attention.
"Yes, Father." Sasuke indicated he was paying attention, Fugaku sat straight again and leaned on his chair looking up to the sky now looking like an aged man with his hands hanging limp over the handles on the chair, looking tired.
"Do you know what the strength that drove Madara Uchiha the most was Sasuke?" Fugaku questioned still looking up. Sasuke balled his fists knowing this was his father giving him time to think. It felt like Pity, Sasuke was sure Itachi answered the questions immediately.
Fugaku looked at Sasuke from his position being able to spy on his son from the corner of his eyes. He saw Sasuke's hands grab onto the grass once more this time with a stronger grip. Sasuke began questioning where his father was going with the retelling he told him but when he thought he had an answer a voice he did not want to hear spoke up giving its stupid opinions.
"The power of friendship Or love, I guess you could love your friend too… kukukuk" Naruto Uzumaki made his presence known and with his presence both father and son saw their audience of Hinata Hyūga who pulled Naruto's cheek, the aforementioned blonde, Izumi Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Mikoto Uchiha all holding things like baskets, folded fabrics of bright colors, an umbrella and a cooler box to keep beverages cold.
"Both are correct Naruto-Kun, nobody knows what led Madara to stray from his ways but he was a man who loved so much his love went above expectations and connected with another." Itachi expanded on Naruto's response which seemed to be the correct answer because Fugaku nodded and changed the subject when he saw Sasuke pluck out a handful of grass in both hands.
"Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyūga, welcome to the Uchiha household." The father of two welcomed as professionally as he would in the office which had Naruto feeling relief that somebody was as he imagined them to be.
"Sup Father of two, Uchiha head of this humble abode. we had a nice welcoming although it got a little messy, now I'm clean like a water-style jutsu. When things were greasy Sasuke tried to fire style my behind, he didn't know that I rise like phénix flame jutsu from the pile." Naruto rapped which had Izumi and Mikoto clapping hands, Hinata was in shock, she didn't know that her lover could do that, whatever that was but she liked it.
Itachi and Sasuke both gapped when they heard their father burst into a big belly laugh. He kept trying to say Dan Uchiha would be proud and that he finally found it but his laughing made the task difficult. The philosopher was Fugaku's Genin back in the day.
"Nice to meet the both of you." Fugaku repeated before standing up, the man has not laughed like that in a while and what a wonderful surprise to see it was not his wife who caused the sounds.
"Come Sasuke, let us go help, we need to put our weight in so we do not look like parasites in our own home." Fugaku instructed. Sasuke stood up slowly, his eyes locked on Naruto's back who was now moving further into the backyard to set up a picnic spot with the rest of Sasuke's family and the girl Sasuke loved, they laughed, leaving him behind like yesterday's news, Sasuke's fears were beginning to manifest itself he could see it.
'He has to go.' Sasuke thought following behind his father who laughed, Sasuke never heard his father laugh that loud and long before to the point he could not even speak. That was the dobe's first impression.
'The dope is fucking with my life, Naruto must die, he must die die die!!' Sasuke had enough of it, he said it himself he would kill the blonde. What was taking him so long, what was he, Sasuke Uchiha waiting for?
«««««"»»»»»
The afternoon at the Uchiha main house was the liveliest it had ever been in a long time. There was laughter being heard, as well as screaming, teasing, sparing, and moments of solemn thoughts.
Mikoto Uchiha was happy to see her son Itachi happy but mostly embarrassed by the fact Izumi wanted him to feed her. The Uchiha matriarch smiled lovingly at the news the girl brought to her in the kitchen, Mikoto won't lie, she cried. First a godson and now this, all in one day, she felt so blessed.
Mikoto looked at Naruto who played around with his Hyūga best friend, teasing her about being shy to eat in front of people and that she should unleash her true fearful powers because Naruto wanted to enjoy the best ramen in the world to the fullest by challenging his greatest rival in a ramen eating death match.
'Kushina would be proud of the number of ramen they can both take in." Mikoto thought with a sweat drop to see the amount they ate before Hinata conceded defeat, a defeat Naruto would not accept.
'He loves your cooking Kushina.' Mikoto looked away from Naruto and quickly wiped away her tears of grief. She lay her head on her husband's shoulder and decided to enjoy the evening.
Fugaku was talking to Itachi who showed him the tag Naruto invented, Itachi was explaining to his father how it worked. Fugaku of course working as a police chief where information trading is important was very impressed by the tag and its functions.
Hearing Naruto was making it public and planned on offering multiple connections of choice only made Fugaku believe that Naruto might just be a rare case of a business-minded Shinobi. That is the innovative way of thinking he wishes his people had.
Sasuke only sat there quietly, not joining in on any of the conversations going on around him. The Uchiha boy was only observing with predator-like eyes.
He first looked to his teammates, it was official, Naruto and Hinata were a couple, they admitted it to Izumi who kept hounding them about it throughout their long picnic that lasted until the sun began setting. The 13-year-old Uchiha looked at his father.
Sasuke knew his father respected fuinjutsu because he grew up knowing the fourth Hokage personally and although he had no talent for the art like so many Uchiha before him, he held great interest in its jutsus.
Sasuke felt like his father asked Naruto more questions at this picnic than he has asked Sasuke in his entire life. The anger just kept on accumulating, especially when he heard that with this invention Naruto should consider himself on the list of the richest people in the elemental Nations because everyone from Civilians to the five Ninja villages and their capitals would be buying the tags in bulk.
Sasuke quietly watched the setting and decided it would be the start of Naruto's downfall, but first Sasuke had to humiliate the blonde.
'You better enjoy this while it lasts Naruto Uzumaki because I will end it all in the Chunin exam finals.' Sasuke's hate was something that simmered within him, it was not something people could see or touch so they could not judge his character but someone did.
'Why you?' Sasuke's anger soared looking to Hinata who glared at him with her unseeing eyes. She knew his intentions, she knew him so well, so why does she not accept his love, why do they all flock to the blonde and not him, why?
Sasuke looked away from Hinata's glare, he now felt ashamed of his thoughts because of being caught.
«««««"»»»»»
"You promise you will come again?" Mikoto asked her godson while she hugged him close to her. Naruto only patted the older woman on her back and replied.
"You just showed me there is a greater level of divinity to the foods of the gods, better yet it's free that's my favorite kind of food right there…HAHAHAHAHA.." Mikoto smiled but nodded because Naruto was exaggerating and his big belly laugh was just too cute for the mother. Mikoto released Naruto and ruffled his thick mane of blonde hair.
Naruto took Hinata's hand in his own and intertwined their fingers before waving one more time because he already said his super emotional goodbye to Izumi who cried for some reason. Naruto got a firm handshake from Fugaku Uchiha who said it was nice to see the future generation pursuing other dreams.
Itachi simply wished the blonde luck for his meeting with Jiraiya the next day which he did not know the details of. Itachi told Hinata to take a 2 day rest period before they started their training. Since Sasuke was leaving the village the next morning the Jōnin had them wish each other luck and goodbye.
"Bye!" Hinata said with a smile while she waved back to the Uchiha household. Naruto was happy and Hinata felt that from his emotions, he was not used to a family setting and today was his first experience with it.
"Did you enjoy yourself Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked lovingly while they made their way through the Uchiha compound to reach the exit.
"Don't play innocent, I know what you did?" Naruto accused but he was too happy and content to even fake a glare in Hinata's direction. The blind girl did begin poking her index fingers together looking like she was late on her payment to Naruto's alter ego.
"You know you are really cute when you do that." Naruto stated looking at Hinata's face that turned even redder, her eyes locked on his looked more beautiful than the night sky above.
"Thank you for always doing good by me Hime, Aunty is awesome, you know!" Naruto gave Hinata a big smile that he could only accomplish by closing his eyes shut. Hinata did not see it but she felt it and she couldn't help but want to be even closer to him.
"N-Naruto-K-Un can I p-please ri-ride on your back?" Hinata asked in a stutter that did not seem to remove the smile on Naruto's face instead it grew wider because of her request.
"I would be happy to my lady." Naruto gave Hinata his back and got on one knee, when she got close to him he wrapped his arms around her legs and let her drop her weight before he stood up. Hinata moved some of his hair to the side and snuggled her face in his neck tickling him with her breath and a second later they were moving again.
"You are like a big baby." Naruto teased which had Hinata bristling.
"You are the bigger baby." Hinata accused back which had Naruto bristling not believing the accusation to be true.
"What! That is a lie." Naruto asserted quickly which had Hinata snorting in disbelief.
"Ask anybody in our class, they all thought I was your mother." Hinata revealed which had Naruto looking for some way to make a point because people clearly did not think of him that way. Naruto bit Hinata's arm that was wrapped around his neck which had the blind Hyūga gasping.
"Naruto-Kun!" Hinata exclaimed which in her soft and quiet voice was hard to identify but Naruto did grin with Hinata's arm still in his mouth, he did not apply too much pressure to cause pain just discomfort.
"Woah!" Naruto exclaimed when he felt Hinata's teeth on his neck, the bite was light but firm. When he loosened his grip on her, Hinata jumped back and off Naruto's back. The two genin's already walked out of the Uchiha grounds.
"I will get you back for that." Naruto warned running after Hinata who giggled and ran away from him. Whenever Naruto got close and tried to catch her she would boost her speed and dodge his grasp. At some point, the blind girl did knock into a light post even with Naruto's early warning of 'watch out hime'.
«««««"»»»»»
"You need to be more careful hime." Naruto told Hinata who sat on a swing in a close-by park, the blonde stood in front of Hinata's seated form examining her head after removing her forehead protector.
"Naruto-Kun?" Hinata asked in confusion when she felt Naruto begin rubbing her blemish-less forehead around the center.
"The Uchiha seem like nice people." Naruto began and Hinata smiled, this was the good spirit she loved about her Naruto-Kun.
"The way they are treated by the village does not seem fair, especially for the actions of one man." Hinata nodded placing her hands on the swing to push herself up. Naruto's confusion was quickly killed when Hinata switched their positions before sitting on his lap from the side and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Naruto felt he could relate with the Uchiha clan as a whole, being hated for the mistakes of others, and being treated like a pariah was Naruto Uzumaki's entire life until he decide to not give a damn. Hinata moved his thick mane to the back of his head and took his face in both her hands.
"You have the resources to change that if you ever wanted to Naruto-Kun." Hinata revealed to the blonde what he too knew to be true. Hinata felt Naruto's doubts about helping the clan but she knew she just had to give a little push of encouragement.
"Hinata-Sama." Hinata groaned, she thought Kō and Neji would give her more time with the blonde. The Chunin and Genin landed in front of the members of team 7 and acted professionally.
"I have to go Naruto-Kun." Hinata told the blonde who registered sadness at her words but knew she did have to go. Hinata hated that she had to leave him to return home and be alone while he to went home to bask in loneliness.
"I will see you tomorrow?" Naruto asked with hope in his voice but Hinata did not know, she had already missed out on a full week of her heiress training and education. Naruto had prior arrangements with the Toad sage that could last the whole day.
"I don't know Naruto-Kun, I think I will be busy the whole day." Hinata revealed sadly but Naruto only nodded, he did have her for a month in Wave country, and after that, he spent a whole week with her which consisted of the first and second phases of the Chunin exams.
"Wait, take this." Naruto stopped Hinata who stood up from his lap and handed her one of his Taya tags. Hinata smiled lovingly at him and kissed his cheek before turning around and walking towards Neji and Kō.
Naruto balled his fists watching Hinata walk away slowly towards her clan members who were both glaring at him openly because Hinata could not see. Naruto did not mind them and only proclaimed his affection for his Hime inwardly with every step she took away from him.
'I love you, I adore you, I treasure you, I will miss you tonight, I wish I had a goodnight kiss, I wish you were mine only…… I wish you wouldn't go.' Hinata stopped walking at the emotion that begged her to not leave, the emotion that came to hug her heart softly and said please stay with me. Hinata looked down at the tag in her grasp that she did not know how she would use because she was blind. The blind girl made her decision a second later.
'I love you so much.' Naruto thought with his love for Hinata growing even more when he saw her turn around and run towards him with a big smile on her face and teary eyes that looked like a star-filled night. Hinata opened her mouth to say something but she never got the chance.
"I will not have you disrespect the Hyūga name girl." Naruto's eyes widened when Hinata dropped to the floor sliding forward on the gravel because of the momentum she had gained. Hinata's grandfather was the culprit, his outstretched left hand that did the deed returned to the elder's side.
"Escort her to the main house." The elder instructed the two branch members. Naruto only watched Hinata's form on the ground, he remembered her look of shock when she was hit by a chop to the neck before she dropped.
'Don't lay your hands on her.' Naruto warned unable to form words due to the shock of the scene in front of him. When Kō placed his hands on Hinata's unmoving body, Naruto saw red and the leaf village dreamt of blood and gore because of the killing intent and hate that draped The Whole village like a blanket.
