   Bizarre Love Triangle, Chapter 9!!!!
Well, here it is! It'd have been up earlier, but I just got on, ya know. BTW, AEGFF probably won't be up. Veddy sorry!

Chapter 9

Naruto, Kiba and Hinata had been having a very uneventful last few days. The Kage no Jinchu were nowhere to be seen, and the town was kind of boring. They’d been arguing over what to do… well, mostly Naruto and Kiba. Hinata wasn’t the arguing type. She just sort of sat back, trying to work up enough courage to hold a proper conversation with the blond shinobi. She’d done it a few times, but she’d always get overwhelmed with nervousness and stop. That… or she’d accidentally hit him in the head.

“Naruto, you’ve dragged us to the Ramen Shop every day this week!” Kiba shouted, Akamaru barking in agreement, “me and Hinata should get to choose this time!” Naruto was about to argue, but he was bowled over by a certain hyperactive female jounin. Once Hihana peeled Naruto off the ground, she grinned at the other two shinobi, dragging Naruto away from the scene.

“You two have fun together!” Hihana said, “we’re going to go look for the circus!” Then, she sped off, not noticing the quizzical stares that Hinata and Kiba were giving them. Once again, it sounded like Naruto wailed “HELP ME!” but no one seemed to be paying attention. Hinata was probably the only one who cared. However, the whole idea of a circus coming sounded a bit…well, suspicious. So, after minimal deliberation, Kiba, Akamaru and Hinata followed Hihana and the unwilling Naruto.

Moroi was training alone when Hihana and Naruto found her. She was wearing her usual green sweater and baggy black pants. However, she’d grown into a habit of wearing the cat mask she’d stolen from the Raikage. After all, when you’re an S Ranked Missing Nin, you tend to hang on to little trophies like that. Since her chest had been strapped down, Naruto and Hihana didn’t recognize her. They stopped and looked, surprised to see a ninja this far out in the woods. Moroi turned swiftly, surprising them. It was almost like she’d been expecting them.

“Who are you?” Naruto shouted at the shinobi, “are you one of those shinobi that are going around killing the kage?” Moroi chuckled, surprised by his enthusiasm. Hihana rolled her eyes, but said nothing; the look in her eyes told her that she agreed with Naruto’s theory. Moroi adjusted her mask, making sure it was still on straight.

“Shows what you know.” Moroi scoffed, “I am Tsukineko Moroi, a new member of the ANBU squad. We’re hosting a tournament to find any new potential hokage. The winner will most likely be hokage should anything happen to Tsunade-sama.” Naruto and Hihana’s suspicions were quickly quelled, but soon Hihana got suspicious again. This ‘guy’ was fairly young to be in the ANBU squad.

“How come you’re an ANBU? I didn’t make jounin until this year!” Hihana said, not noticing Hinata and Kiba, who were perched in a tree above them. Moroi grinned, behind the mask, and threw two needles past Hihana’s head, pulling the wires tight when they hit a tree. Then, she began to ring them, the noise not as loud as usual. However, since they’d all followed the flying needles, she had time to cast a quick illusion. It made the sound seem louder. The shinobi covered their ears, and didn’t notice Moroi rushing in to kick Hihana. There were about five swift kicks; four in the girl’s back and on at the back of her head.

“That’s why.” Moroi said, removing the needles and acting as though that weren’t interesting, “I’ve trained with some of the best shinobi out there. The tournament is this Saturday. Don’t miss it; I want to see how you guys do.” She grinned behind the mask, and vanished, leaving behind a group of very confused shinobi. Naruto and Hihana left after a few moments, Hihana complaining about her back and head. Kiba looked over at Hinata, and they shared the same thought.

“We need to speak to Tsunade-sama right away.”

Hope you enjoyed! Read and review, if you please.
