It had been just over five minuets since Hinata left the clearing, after paying her respects to Naruto. She was approaching Tazuna's house when an earth shattering explosion ripped through the village.

Quickly dropping into the Jyuuken `Gentle fist' stance she managed to block the first couple of strikes that were sent at her. However being caught of guard meant that she hadn't seen the strike heading for her from behind, which sent her flying into a wall of a near by building.

Emerging from the crater that had formed from her impact Hinata saw what could only be described as a swarm of over two hundred bandits entering the village. Shaking off the feeling of dizziness that had formed with her impact she heard what sounded like metal clashing. Glancing to her right she saw the bandits engaging the village's militia, and it appeared the militia were losing…badly.

Seeing an opportunity to strike some near by bandits Hinata quickly launched herself out of the crater and into the middle of the action, and with quick, well aimed strikes she managed to kill a couple of the bandits. After witnessing her kill a couple of their comrades so easily the bandits quickly surrounded her. Attacking with swords, daggers, and kunai the bandit's swung their weapons wildly, slashing and thrusting with almost no particular skill.

Hinata easily blocked or evaded the attacks; after all she wasn't a chunnin for nothing. Seeing that their attacks weren't working and that Hinata had managed to knock out another 3 bandits, the rest of the bandits started launching kunai and shuriken towards her.

Because she was surrounded Hinata knew there was no way to evade the bombardment, so she began to spin while releasing a large amount of chakra and with a cry of “Hakke: Kaiten” formed a protective dome that deflected all the incoming projectiles.

The bandits were stunned, obviously this was the first time they had witnessed the Kaiten, seizing the opportunity Hinata charged forward and with well placed strikes began cutting down all the bandits in her path. However she was caught of guard when a bone crushing right hook connected with her jaw sending her hurtling into the side of yet another building.

Slowly rising to her feet she began to face her attacker and saw a well built man of average height, and by the headband she could tell he was a missing Nin. Settling into the `Gentle fist' Hinata prepared herself for her opponent when she was struck from the side with a roundhouse kick that sent her stumbling forward. Activating her Byakagan she saw that she was surrounded by what looked like 6 missing Nin.

Seeing several of her opponents flashing through hand signs she prepared to begin the Kaiten. When they had finished performing the hand signs the missing Nin's announced their attacks

 

“Katon: Ryuka No Jutsu” “Katon: Gokakayu No Jutsu” “Katon: Karyuu Endan No Jutsu”

Seeing the blasts coming from different directions Hinata quickly began the “Hakke: Kaiten” blocking the incoming fire balls.

However by using her Kaiten to deflect 3 powerful Katon Jutsu had drained most of Hinata's chakra so she didn't know exactly how much longer she could hold on.

When they launched a second wave of attacks Hinata could only dodge with a quick substitution.

Collapsing on a near by roof top Hinata quickly found herself in front of several of the missing Nin's

“Well look here, she's a Hyuuga. Guess that means we'll be getting quite a lot from cloud country then. And we can have some fun with her on th-” The Nin never got to finish his boasting due to being slammed into by a “Tsuga” courtesy of Kiba.

“Sorry were late” Kiba said while standing in front of Hinata, shortly being joined by Akamaru at his side and Shino and Kurenai behind him.

 

Flash back With Kiba Kurenai and Shino

 

After feeling a massive explosion rip through the village Kurenai, Kiba and Shino quickly raced to find out what was happening.

Upon arriving at the centre of the village they were greeted by the sight of the villages militia engaging what seemed to be bandits. Deciding to aid the militia they quickly jumped into the fray

“Gatsuga” Kiba yelled while him and Akamaru cut through several of the bandits

“Magen: Jubaku Satsu” Kurenai said making several trees appear from the ground binding several of the bandits, then using a kunai she began slitting their throats.

There was a hail of shuriken thrown towards the 3, however they never impacted thanks to a quick “Mushi Kabe No Jutsu”courtesy of Shino.

Suddenly their was a massive chakra spike that they all knew was caused by the use of an extremely powerful Kaiten. Rushing towards the position the spike came from they arrived to see Hinata collapseon the roof of a building and who appeared to be a missing Nin approach her.

“Well look here, she's a Hyuuga. Guess that means we'll be getting quite a lot from cloud country then.”

Hearing enough Kiba launched towards the man with a cry of “Tsuga”

After slamming the man away from Hinata Kiba jumped in front of her while saying “Sorry were late”

 

Team 8 stood on the roof facing 7 missing Nin's, well 8 if the count the one in the crater in the wall. And to make things worse all around them the militia were being over run by the bandits.

“So we got a Jounin and 2 chunnin” on of the missing Nin's said “Well I guess it won't be that hard then”

Shifting into their stances the members of team 8 prepared for the upcoming battle. They were nervous which was completely understandable considering that they weren't a combat orientated group and they were currently facing down 7 missing Nin's in a village being assaulted by bandits

“Katon: Hosenka No Jutsu” yelled one of the missing Nin's while sending several fairly large fire balls towards the team. Grabbing Hinata they managed to dodge to the side before the attack hit.

While dodging the attack Shino sent a swarm of his bugs to attack the enemy Nin, however his counter attack was quickly counted with a follow up with the “Katon: Ryuka No Jutsu” recalling his bugs to prevent further losses Shino dodged the incoming weapons fired by the other Nin's.

Thinking that they were preoccupied with Shino Kiba charged with a cry of “Tsuga” only to plough head first into a wall courtesy of “Doton: Doryuheki”

 

After about 15 minuets the bad had taken a turn for the worst. With both Kiba and Akamaru being down for the count the odd were seriously getting out of hand. With Hinata injured from the first engagement it was now just Kurenai and Shino left to take on 5 missing Nin's and to make matters worse they still had the bandits to beet back afterwards. Things had taken a turn for the worst indeed.

Laughing at their obviously exhausted opponents the missing Nin's casually reached for shuriken and kunai to finish them quickly. Well finish all but the Hyuuga the cloud would want her alive. Launching the weapons towards them they expected it to be over. However nothing ever goes how it is expected to. With a cry of “Kage Bunshin Shuriken No Jutsu” a single shuriken multiplied into a storm and proceeded to deflect the incoming weapons before they could hit there target.

The still conscious members of team 8 turned to see their saviour. Stood on the roof of a building across the street stood a single figure. The figure had on Black combat boots, and tight black pants which had pockets all over them. He also had on a deep red long sleeve muscle shirt and over that he wore a black vest (Think of blade from blade 3). He also had on a pitch black ANBU mask with blood red markings in the shape of a fox. His Vest had the Kanji for `Shadow Fox' In blood red on the left side just over his heart.

“What do you want?” The Missing Nin demanded however instead of answering the figure simply appeared in front of him and launched him into the air with a devastating uppercut. Jumping above the missing Nin the figure delivered an axe kick to his stomach sending hurtling towards the floor at unbelievable speeds. Hitting the floor with an audible crunch it was obvious he was dead. Landing in front of team 8 the figure just stood facing the missing Nin's taunting them to attack. This is exactly what they did. Dodging the Justus's launched at him the figure made his way with very impressive speed towards his opponents. Hitting several of the missing Nin into the air he yelled “Kage Bunshin” and 10 copies of the figure appeared around the airborne Nin's. With a cry of “Shihohappo Shuriken” each of the copies sent shuriken flying towards the Nin's. Each Nin had been struck by several of the shuriken. Poofing out of existence the clones left leaving just the figure, 1 missing Nin, and a very shocked team 8. After a couple of seconds the last missing Nin was taken care of by a kunai between the eyes. Taking a glance at team 8 the figure just jumped down into the streets and began to ruthlessly slaughter the bandits.

Needless to say after the figure joined the battle the bandits soon fled.

 

Approaching the figure Kurenai noticed the Kanji for `Shadow Fox' on his vest.

“Are you the person known as the shadow fox?” Kurenai asked quietly to the figure “OMG Kurenai you just saw that `Shadow fox' was written on his clothes what more do you need. Idiot”

“That's one of my names, yes” Replied the figure

“I have a scroll to deliver to you if I may?” Kurenai said while gesturing her pouch. Seeing him nod she slowly removed a scroll from her pouch and gave it to the figure. “Hokage-sama said to give that to you directly, so I don't have any ideas of its content”

“Understandable.” It was now that Kiba began to regain consciousness

“Who's the guy in the mask?” Kiba asked while stifling a yawn

“The man who saved us from those shinobi” Came Shino's response

“A-ano, do you mind telling us your n-name?” Hinata asked

“You already know my name” Replied the figure

“We know you are known as `The s-shadow fox' But I'd l-like to know your r-real name. A-after all I'd like to know who to t-thank for saving me.” Hinata stuttered

The figure turned away from them and jumped onto a near by roof top. Once on the roof he turned his head to face team 8 and said two words

“Uzumaki Naruto”
