PART 3:

Hinata woke the next morning with a huge headache and a very concerned Kurenai standin above her. She was in a hospital bed and, although she had no real injuries, her room was being attended by a medical nin. She sat up in a heartbeat when she remembered those eyes, and Kurenai immediately put her hand on Hinata’s shoulder to calm her back into lying down.

“What happened?”

“Nothing Sensei, I…I was just training at the waterfall, then someone hit the back of my neck and knocked me out, then I was here.”

“Why were you out so late at night.” Kurenai was not angry, just worried and curious, but a shameful glance downward proved that Hinata did not perceive it as anything but angry.

“I’m sorry sensei, I just…want to be strong, so I went to the waterfall…” she trailed off into uninteligable mumbles that would normally cause Kurenai to stifle her laughter but this was no joking matter.

“Don’t worry Hinata, it doesn’t matter what you were doing, did you see your attacker.”

At this, Hinata jumped up again. “He had eyes like a demon, fiery red and orange eyes.”

It had been a while since Hinata had been this scared, the last time Hinata had shown fear like this was against her cousin in the preliminary matches of the tournament. Ever since that battle, Hinata had shown little fear and tons of determination in her eyes, she had grown up enough to get past her weakness. That only meant that this asailent was truly worthy of fear.

“We’ll get him, don’t worry.” With that, Kurenai ran to Tsunade’s office to report. Demon eyes, that’s never a good sign. Especially hearing it from someone who’s eyes are not so normal as it is.

Hinata sat in her bed until the medical nin left on other duties, then she left from out of the window. For some reason, her gut feeling told her to check on Naruto. She ran as fast as her genin legs could carry her towards Naruto’s one room apartment.

She knocked on the door and as she both expected and feared, there was no answer. A brave feeling that was normally very foreign to her suddenly took over her senses. She used her eyes to search his room, there was no one there, but there was a note on the table. She peered closer at it, the handwriting was not what she would imagine Naruto’s to be, it was too neat and nice.

The demon boy is fine, we have him under our official custody. We are in the northern forest of the moon in the country of Earth. This is business under a government of our own so please do not wage war on the hidden village of the Rock.

The Heavenly Four


Hinata’s instincts held true, Naruto was in trouble and he needed her. Hinata ran home guided by something inside that she never knew she had, it was a feeling in her chest near her heart. She assumed it was that thing called intuition that the Adults always talked about when they knew where to catch the right fish or when they opened a business that did well.

She ran to Tsunade immediately, it was a little awkward to Hinata who would much rather tell her sensei but she had to go right to the source. Tsunade sat in her office looking depressed, it was probably the giant stack of papers behind which she was barely visible. As soon as Hinata stormed in, she seemed ecstatic to give her full attention, despite her selfish want to “forget” her paperwork during the conversation.

But the Hokage’s tone soon turned sour when Hinata explained the events of the morning. Not only had she been knocked out, but Naruto had been kidnapped. But the worst part was the mention of the words “heavenly” and “four.” Those words had not been spoken in Konoha since she was a child, they were a group that had been forced to be disbanded because of their failure to comply to missions that didn’t reach their ethical standards. Konoha did the same thing, however the Heavenly Four were so open about it that people began to swerve their services to other organizations.

The Heavenly Four were heroes to the youth, ninja who cared more about justice than money, but they disappeared soon after running out of funds. However, they remained just legends and were soon forgotten when the hype of the war was brought upon Konoha. They were apparently very strong ninja, but no one had ever lived to tell the tale of just how good they were. Since they never hit any big targets, only the children would see these super heroes as anything but gossip.

The good thing was, they would bring no harm to Naruto, he was just a container for a demon and they were not stupid. They would surely know that he had not committed a crime because of their ethical thoroughness in investigation before any mission was carried out. Hinata would be fine for this mission, but maybe some allies.

“Hinata, you are to lead a team of two to meet up with Naruto and bargain with his captors. We can only afford to send two ninja so please choose your team wisely. These ninja will probably not bring any harm to Naruto, but still be careful. This is a class-C mission, I assume you can take the responsibility of leader?” Hinata gave an embarrassed nod and was off immediately after receiving a map of the Northern Forest.

Kurenai snuck in through Tsunade’s window as soon as the Hokage was done with her mission statement. “You know she has a crush on the blonde boy right?” Tsunade buried her head in her hands, maybe she had made a bigger mistake than she had thought.

* * *

“I’m sorry that we had to do this, I hope you can understand.” The voice from the woods called out. Naruto had already had this conversation with the voice, it was probably a machine or something because Naruto’s responses were never acknowledged by the voice. Naruto decided to just let the thing talk, it only spoke about once an hour, and plus Naruto was busy trying to find a way out of this trap.

He already witnessed the failed attempts of about a thousand bunshin trying to break through, He tried throwing kunai which just turned red and melted at the invisible wall, he even tried a rasengan where he thought the wall started, but it only ended in Naruto being sent flying back into the center of the clearing with more burn marks scarring his favorite pajamas.

He had been waiting for too long, not only was this annoying, but Naruto was beginning to get hungry. He already looked through the trees inside of the barrier and there was nothing but leaves. He decided to sleep before the noise of his grumbling stomach got too loud for him to do anything but lay awake in misery.

He was about fifteen minutes into dozing off when he heard a different voice in the forest. It was the voice from his dreams, the soft and soothing voice of his savior. “I am here, but don’t come too close, I’m in a trap.”

Before any answer came from his savior, he heard and explosion and felt a blast from his right. He could feel the pressure recede and the invisible fire wall was obviously down. “Naruto-kun, um…are you okay?”

Naruto was surprised to see his dark haired ally, why was she out in these woods? She was dressed in her normal coat and was well equipped with an emergency pack around her shoulders, It only reminded him of how ridiculous he must look in his pajamas. “Um… Hinata, do you happen to have an extra coat or something? It is getting kind of late and cold.”

She blushed, apologized for not offering it sooner (as unnecessary as apologizing was) and threw him a cloak from her bag. Naruto barely had time to put the cloak on before a booming voice called from behind. “Demon boy, it’s time we had a little chat.” It was different from the recorded voice, much more angry and demanding.

“Hinata, we have to run now” she needed no further prodding before she jumped into the trees following Naruto as close as she could. She was about to tell him that Shino was waiting at a rendezvous point just on the outskirts of the forest but she was distracted by a voice from behind.

“You can’t run far boy” The man with the booming voice had obviously found the clearing. “We’ll catch you before you can say…” He was cut off by an explosion. He probably found one of the exploding tags that held Naruto captive for the past day. “**** it Atohi, you are dead when I get my hands on you.”

The two Konoha Genin used the confusion to change direction, maybe it would buy them enough time to make a clean getaway. And sure enough, booming loud curses shattered the quiet of the forest accompanied by a barely audible “I lost him.”

They kept running all through the night, neither of them paying attention to their destination, the only thing on their minds was leaving no tracks or trace of their journey so they wouldn’t be found. By the time they finally stopped running, they were deep within an unknown pine forest and the sun was just peaking over the eastern horizon. It was then that Hinata’s actions stopped being guided by that feeling in her heart and she realized the reality of the situation.

She was alone in the woods with Naruto. They were together, running away from the same enemy, with no other team mates or a Sensei. Hinata turned deep crimson as Naruto scoped the surroundings. “Hey Hinata, there’s a cave hidden behind this bush, it looks pretty deep. Uh…Hinata.” But she was lost within her own mind. Alone, with Naruto. We’re going to hide alone together and eat alone together and sleep…with Naruto. At this thought, her brain had taken too much for her to handle. And just like before when he held her hand, she passed out. Sleep…with…Naruto.
