Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The Demon's of Konoha ❯ Haku and Zabuza ( Chapter 19 )

Hinata and Naruto stopped running once they had arrived at the hospital. Together they walked into the waiting room and sure enough Tsunami was there holding her belly, leaning back in the chair, teeth clenched together as she refused to show her pain and scream. Inari was sitting next to him mom with a look of panic on his face as she screamed again, as a contraction was going through her. Running to Tsunami's side Hinata quickly placed her hands on Tsunami's belly while they glow a soft green color.

 

“Babies in position” Hinata muttered before raising her voice. “Alright Naruto help me carry her to a room. There is a birthing suite three doors down.' Hinata mentioned as she released the locks on the doors as Naruto gently helped Tsunami to her feet and gently walked her. “What happened she isn't due for another two weeks?”

 

“It was weird” Inari said following his mother while Hinata and Naruto helped walk Tsunami to a room. “One minute Naruto-nii and I were fishing when we noticed mom on shore holding a picnic basket. Since we were both hungry we started to row back to shore. While doing that off to the right we heard giant crashing noises and looked and seen two pillars of water shooting over the trees and into the air. It was so weird we had never seen anything like that and that's when mom started screaming as she was grabbing her belly. We quickly rowed to shore and we brought mom here. That's when Naruto-nii went to find you.”

 

`Crap' Hinata thought mentally scolding herself. `I had forgotten that babies were like miniature barometers. Hopefully it didn't cause any more troubles than Tsunami going into premature labor. That's just what I will need an onset of labors.'

 

Walking into the room Naruto and Hinata gently placed Tsunami on the bed as she started screaming again as another contraction hit. Inari's face whitened considerably as he heard him mom scream. If he was like that before the baby was born, Hinata didn't want to see what he was like during the birthing process. “Alright I will deliver the baby, so why don't you two do some errands for me. I need some new herbs picked for my ointments. Naruto you know which herbs I need, and they should be able to be found in the forest. Second if you have the time, if you could look for my staff for me that would be great. This way you guys will have something to do while I help her with labor. Now go so I can get started.”

 

“Let's go Inari” Naruto said placing his hands on the boy's shoulders as he steered him out of the room. “Don't worry you mom is in good hands. Hinata won't let anything happen to her. Now which shall we do first find her staff or finding herbs?”

 

“Why do we need to do this anyways?” Inari asked. “Why can't we just sit and wait for mom? I mean it shouldn't be too long right?”

”Inari, do you have any idea how long it takes to give birth?” Naruto asked watching Inari shake his head no. “Seriously neither do I, but from what Hinata has said it once took someone fifteen hours to give birth. It's a long and complicated process, and I am sure you don't want to worry about your mom for that long. That is why Hinata gave us jobs to do.”

 

“Should we go and tell Grandpa and them that mom is in labor?” Inari asked noticing that they weren't far from the bridge. “That way they won't be worried when they stop working that mom's not home?”

 

“That is a good idea and after that we can do the errands that Hinata wanted.” Naruto said as they made their way to the bridge to find everyone was packing up to go home for the day.

 

“Dobe, Inari what brings you here?” Sasuke asked as he walked towards the boys with Kakashi and Tazuna in tow.

 

“Mom's in labor” Inari said “and thought we should let you guys know, before you got home.”

 

“Where is she? Did you get Hinata? Is everything alright?” Tazuna frantically shot questions one right after another without pausing long enough for anyone to reply.

 

“She's in the hospital with nee-chan.” Inari said “then she kicked us out having us run errands for her. Why are you guys done for the day?”

 

“The water was acting weird it was moving and flowing almost as if a hurricane was trying to form. Two pillars of water shot up into the air as high as the eyes could see, and that's a local superstition around here. Getting anyone to work afterwards was hard, so we stopped for the day.” Tazuna said, “While Kakashi here said they looked to be powerful water jutsu's and not to worry, we weren't taking any chances.”

 

“What's the legend about?” Naruto wanted to know. His face wasn't able to hide the eagerness that clearly wanted to know. Legends were something he likes to learn about and thankfully the Kyuubi was always able to supply them. Looking around Naruto noticed that someone was missing. “Hey where is Sakura-chan?”

 

“She left about an hour ago. She said she was having womanly problems really bad and from the way she was grabbing her stomach I think she was.” Kakashi said hoping he didn't have to explain about what `womanly' problems really were.

 

“Basically the legend is an old story that has been passed down for generations. Most of this I am not sure about what is true and what isn't. I just know the story as it was told to me by my father and his father before him. Around a hundred years ago, give or take a few years. There was a woman here who came to challenge one of the spirits of the ocean. At least that was the answer she gave the villagers anytime anyone asked her a why she was visiting. Sure the villagers thought she was highly eccentric, but she was able to heal any type of injury while she was here. She had only stayed a week when the water began to act funny and pillars of water shot into the air, not unlike today. Not long after that happened there was a battle as the city was attacked by demons, at least that is what they said they were.” Tazuna started to explain, really wanting to drop the subject on `women problems'.

 

“With the challenge of the water done the woman returned to the village to fight off what were said to be demons attacking. In a fit of rage a tail emerged from under the woman's kimono as she fought the demons attacking the village. When she saved the village from the demons the villagers were stupid. They attacked her because she had a tail and accused her of being a demon, which she never denied. They began to attack her and instead of fighting back or defending herself she left. The people were hurt and had no one to heal them, so most died. The other villagers regretted the attack against her in there own stupidity when all she ever did was help them. The legend says that one day when pillars of water shoot into the sky again, she will return and extract her vengeance against the villagers.”

 

“Wow Grandpa, how come I never heard this story?” Inari asked completely captivated by the story. Learning something knew about his village was cool, even if they weren't the good guys in it.

 

“You are too young to hear about it, and besides no one knows if it is true or not. That is why it is a legend and not of heroics, but of people being demons to someone who was different.” Tazuna explained wishing he had some sake with him.

 

“So what was her name” Sasuke asked as they began to walk back “the girl of legend I mean? Does anyone know what happened to her, or did she just disappear?”

 

“Tanuki, also known as Tani the sister to the Demon Lord Shukaku and second in command to rule the Demon Raccoon race” Naruto said before even realizing the words had left his mouth. The legend was about Kyuubi's fiancé, and this was just one of the stories that he told Naruto about his beloved.

 

“How did you know that?” Tazuna demanded wanting to shake answers out of the boy. “I never said her name or even hinted at the story. No one ever knew her ranking, or even what race she was, so how did you? The story is just that, a story so nothing to be worried about” Tazuna said looking around, hoping all of his beliefs were true, and someone wasn't about to happen to the village.

 

“Because she was engaged to Yoko Kyuubi, the King of the Demon Foxes and the demon sealed in my belly.” Naruto answered with a shrug. “I had figured that the story was just something Kyuubi told me to pass time, not that it was actually true.”

 

“If Kyuubi was her fiancé why didn't he attack the village for her?” Kakashi asked “you know as an act of vengeance.” Vengeance wasn't that uncommon even among humans, still he wanted to know why Konoha and not here. After all he didn't know any legends about demons and Konoha.

 

“At the time the story took place, they weren't together. Tani went traveling to perfect her skills was what I got from Kyuubi.” Naruto mentioned as they walked back to the house. “Shukaku and Kyuubi were rivals, and best friends like Sasuke and me and you and Itachi Kakashi-sensei. When Shukaku heard the story we wanted to go on a rampage which he was notorious for, but it was Kyuubi who kept him back from destroying your village. This wasn't the first time something like this happened, but this escaladed to the Demon Wars all because Tani refused to wipe out your village.”

 

“She was one girl, even a demon what could she have done? She would have been overpowered, eventually” Tazuna said finally finding out the truth about the legend that had given him nightmares as a child. The story was what parents used to keep the kids in line, saying the demon would kill the bad children first before destroying the village. He was thankful that the village wasn't wiped out by still what could one girl do.

 

“You have no idea” Naruto said. “Her race of demons would have a big battle to find out who would lead the clan. She didn't get the position second-in-command by being a sibling she had to fight for it. She earned her position, and was known as a deadly fighter to all of the Demon Realm. The only one in the clan she had to answer to was her brother. She had virtually millions at her call if needed. That one girl could have killed off your village and everyone in it. Because of Tani your village didn't face extinction when her brother found out what happened. A slight against his sister wasn't something he took lightly to.” Naruto explained as Kyuubi's memories flowed through him of the incident. Apparently Kyuubi wanted them to know how they barely escaped death.

 

“Naruto you are very well informed for not being alive at that point” Kakashi mentioned taking in the story in interest. “Are you sure everything you said is even accurate?”

 

“Normally I wouldn't be sure, but this I got directly from Kyuubi's memories. Anything having to do with Tani and Shukaku, Kyuubi wouldn't lie about. He has nothing else to remember her by with him being sealed in me. Tainting her memory isn't something he could do not after leaving her at the wedding alter.” Naruto explained walking with the group towards the house.

 

“So what happened to her then? That was a long time ago, I mean did she die or something. She's got to be old then.” Inari asked wanting to know more. He knew about Naruto having the Kyuubi sealed inside of him, everyone knew at the house, except for Sakura that was. It had come up once in the time they were there as they told urban legends at the table. Sakura decided she didn't want to participate and went to see if she could find Sasuke to go on a date with. Inari and everyone took it well, but then Hinata and Kakashi already knew. Still opening up to new people like that made Naruto feel more trusting of the world, especially since they didn't reject him and wanted to adopt him. From then on Naruto was nii-chan for life.

 

“Not sure” Naruto said with a shrug of her shoulders. “There hasn't been any contact with anyone from the Demon Race in a long time, at least to Kyuubi. I do know that demon's don't age like humans do. Kyuubi was nine thousand years old when he was sealed in me. That's older than some, but younger than others. In human form he looks about twenty-eight if that's anything to go by.”

 

`I am definitely not telling him Tani is sealed in Hinata.' Sasuke thought as he walked with the others. `If Kyuubi knew then Naruto would have no choice but to be with Hinata and she said she didn't want that. In a way I see her point, but in a way it might just save a lot of heartache. Then again it could make more and that won't be good. Glad I am still single at this point, because I don't want to have to deal with this type of situation. Still it would be interesting to see his face when he finds out.'

 

“Crap I got to go and pick those herbs for Hinata and find her staff. Inari want to come with me or no?” Naruto asked looking towards where he had found Hinata.

 

“I would rather not” Inari said with a small shrug. “If something happens to mom I don't want people to have to find me. I think I will wait at the house, and see if there are any more legends about our village.”

 

“We can train some before heading towards the house” Naruto said walking away from the group and towards the water. He had a feeling there wasn't going to be any more talks of legends today, no matter how much Inari pestered.

 

“Wait for me Naruto-nii” Inari said running to catch up with the blonde. Naruto had said the magic words, training. One thing he loved was the specialized training that his brothers gave him, making him secretly wants to become a ninja.

 

Breaking through the woods Naruto stopped at the waters edge looking at where he had seen Hinata standing. Inari walking up to him asked “Nii-san isn't this where we saw those giant pillars of water coming from?” Inari asked as he watched Naruto begin to walk out onto the water. `Why was nee-chan out over here when those pillars shot out? She couldn't be a demon, could she?' Shaking his head to dispel the image of Hinata with a tail Inari continued `if anyone is a demon it would be Sakura. Get over it Inari, you are just jumpy after the story grandpa told you.'

 

“Coming Inari” Naruto asked when he was a few feet away from the shore. He was acting like he didn't hear Inari's question about Hinata's location and the pillars. Looking down at the water he noticed it kept getting darker making it harder to find her staff.

 

“I don't know how to walk on water nii-san.” Inari answered looking down as the water brushed his toes with gentle waves.

 

“Just focus chakra to your feet like the tree climbing exercise. The only really big difference is it constantly changes the amount. Try it, but just stay by the shore incase something happens.” Naruto watched as Inari followed his instructions. He watched a little as Inari got the hang of it but then would over shoot his chakra and fall down only to get up to try again. Looking down again Naruto squatted down, cupping his eyes to look for a glint in the dark water.

 

An hour later Inari was laying on the ground exhausted. He had just managed to stay on the water for ten minutes before his chakra gave out. Considering he didn't have any formal training before that was impressive. Naruto by then had given up on finding the staff.

 

Walking back to the shore he lifted Inari up and placed him on his back carrying him into the house. Along the journey Inari had fallen asleep while Naruto looked at the suns placement. `Looks like I have about an hour left of light. I should have enough to find some of the herbs for Hinata. Don't want to fail her on both errands, especially since she doesn't ask anyone to run some for her. Gently handing Inari over to Tazuna Naruto asked “So did she have the baby yet?”

 

“She had a little girl, and is already home and in bed. Hinata will be home later, apparently she has to clean up at the hospital and help a few more patients before she heads home.” Kakashi answered for Tazuna who also looked emotionally worn out. “She will more than likely be home late, so I'm giving her the day off tomorrow.”

 

“That's good she has to be worn out. Let me grab a basket and pick those herbs for her, that way she doesn't have to worry about it tomorrow.” Naruto mentioned while grabbing a basket out of the kitchen. “I will be back later, but since I'm not sure what time I will be sure to be quite. I don't want to wake up a newborn.”

 

“Don't forget bridge duty tomorrow” Kakashi said with a smile under his mask. `Who is he kidding, just friends indeed. You jump at the chance to help her.'

 

“I will be there” Naruto said as he walked out the door basket in tow. While Hinata was busy taking care of people the least he could do was help her out and do as she asked. It wasn't as if she asked often so when she does it made it more important.

 

Heading out to the woods Naruto began to look around for the needed herbs. After living with Hinata for a few years both Naruto and Sasuke knew which herbs to pick and how to identify them. Grabbing many specimens Naruto found himself going further and further into the woods picking the herbs as he went until he came to a clearing. Right there in the middle of the clearing was a woman with long dark brown hair wearing a pale pink kimono picking herbs.

 

“Hey do you have any milk thistle over there that I can pick?” Naruto asked walking into the clearing by the girl. The girl jumped up startled as she noticed Naruto in the clearing, her brown eyes quickly hiding the fear that had shown up. Just as quick as it appeared it disappeared into a normal warm look.

 

`I didn't even feel him, his chakra is cloaked that good I had better be on my toes. Good thing Zabuza is going to finish the mission tomorrow.' The girl though before answering “There is some right here, why do you need milk thistle though.” She asked before continuing “I am sorry that's rude of me my name is Haku”

 

“Naruto Uzumaki” Naruto said with a smile on his face and his hand behind his head. “I have a friend who needs some and they asked me to pick it.”

 

“Oh alright, are they a precious person, this person who needs the milk thistle?” Haku asked with a serene smile on her face. If a guy was picking herbs for someone they surely must be special. Most guys wouldn't be caught picking it for fear that they could be mistaken as gay.

 

“A whatta whooa” Naruto asked confused no sure he heard her correctly.

 

“A precious person, you know someone who means the world to you.” Haku asked again with the same smile. She knew Naruto was an enemy but still she wanted to know, everyone needed a precious person.

 

“No the person who wants the milk thistle isn't my precious person; she's like a sister to me. I do have a precious person though. She's tall, smart, and gorgeous and has this amazing pink hair.” Naruto said with a smile on his face at the thought of Sakura.

 

“She's someone you would die to protect, that type of precious person?” Haku asked wondering if he meant the same thing she did.

 

“Oh course, she's my teammate I would die to save her life” Naruto said briefly wondering why instead of Sakura's face he got when he though of a precious person he had seen Hinata's face this morning as she looked about to cry. This morning almost seemed like an eternity away. Shaking his head to try to forget that image he asked “What about you do you have a precious person?” Naruto asked sitting down on the ground by Haku picking the thistle getting a whiff of her scent. `Holy crap shes' Naruto thought as he listened to Haku's answer.

 

“A couple of them” Haku said with a smile. “My father and uncle who have taken care of me for many years now, and a friend whom I hope to one day repay a debt. She saved my life once, and I never got the chance to thank her.” Looking at the sky Haku noticed how late it was getting before standing up brushing the dirt off her kimono. “It's late and I must be returning. I have much to do tomorrow. It was nice to meet you Naruto Uzumaki.”

 

“Haku” Naruto said as she started to walk away. “I guess if you're out Zabuza is well enough to fight huh. I look forward to the continuation of our battle.”

 

“How did you?” Haku asked as she turned around rapidly and began to walking backwards. She wasn't prepared for a battle, but that didn't mean she couldn't defend herself. She was so sure she didn't give anything away.

 

Pointing to his nose Naruto said “everyone has a scent and yours is of the Hunter Nin with Zabuza. There is also the slight smell of Zabuza on you also. You know if you weren't an enemy I think we could have been friends.” Naruto said. “I really look forward to our battle, when ever it may be.” Naruto said with a wave as he grabbed his basket and walked away into the woods leaving Haku panting for air.

 

`Was that really necessary to leave her alive?' Kyuubi asked from his cage having watched the scene in interest. “You could have just killed her and not have to worry about it later.'

 

“She wasn't harming me and I wasn't harming her, and you know I don't believe in unnecessary deaths. I know the battle is coming and could be as soon as tomorrow. Shouldn't we train?” Naruto asked sitting down as he began to meditate until he came face to face with Kyuubi.

 

`Yes we shall, although I must thank you' Kyuubi said with a small nod of his head towards the teen. `You stood up for my beloved even though you have never met her and that takes a true act of courage. For that I thank you. Now don't think I will go easy on you, training will be hard. Let's begin shall we.'

 

 

Hinata had woken up to the sounds of a baby crying and felt her head pounding. Looking at the clock she noticed that it was ten in the morning and that meant she had over slept. She had never slept past six at the latest, but didn't get to bed until three that morning. Her water challenge had caused more problems than she thought.

 

Tsunade was the only birth she had to deliver luckily, but she wasn't the only emergency patient she had. On her day off she ended up setting two broken legs and one broken arm from panicking villagers. Thankfully they calmed down, but all seemed jumpy about some strange legend around town. She was prepared to stay the night in the hospital with Tsunami and her new daughter but she insisted on resting at home. With nothing medically wrong with her, there was nothing she could do so when Kakashi came and check up on her he ended up pushing her home in a wheelchair allowing her to rest and carry the new baby.

 

With everyone finally taken care of and gone, Hinata cleaned up and left only to fall asleep when her head hit the pillow. Wandering down stairs and entering the kitchen Hinata was prepared to make a bottle for the baby when she noticed what the commotion was about. Two bandits were in the dining room leaning over a tied up Inari and Tsunami. Her new baby was in a basket sleeping on the table. Cursing herself for not carrying a weapon on her Hinata grabbed the nearest thing she could find and took it with her into battle not noticing it was a wooden spoon.

 

“Which one shall we kill first?” The bandit on the left asked the bandit on the right. “We only need one hostage, and if that baby doesn't shut up soon I saw we start with it.”

 

“How about you start with me” Hinata said to the bandits as they turned around to see who challenged them. `How dare they threaten to kill a helpless newborn baby? That's it neither of them will live through this.' Hinata thought with anger flowing through her veins.

 

“Well what do we have here a little girl acting tough? What are you going to do kill us with that wooden spoon of yours?” The second bandit asked laughing at the sight of a short Hinata only holding a wooden spoon.

 

“You brought a spoon to a knife fight?” the first bandit laugh. “Little girl I think we will start with you” he said as he lunged at Hinata only to have her turn out of the way towards the right, right in the path of the other bandit. The second bandit thought to catch Hinata off guard at her attempt to miss the attack. Hinata completely prepared for the second attack had feigned an opening wanting the other bandit to charge. When he did though Hinata gripped the spoon near the handle and with the stick end of it stabbed the second bandit into the eye. Adding chakra to the attack it went straight through the eye and into the brain killing him instantly. Pulling the handle out, blood began to squirt and pour out of the open socket as the eye was stuck on the end handle almost touching Hinata's hand.

 

“You bitch who are you. What you did shouldn't have been possible” the first bandit asked with terror in his voice. He wasn't expecting what looked to be a young girl, possibly a teenager kill his partner instantly.

 

“Hinata no Sabaku” Hinata answered in a cold voice. “A ninja of Konohagakure also known as the Hidden Village in the Leaves, but you won't be able to remember it.”

 

“Why is that” the man asked still scared. “Maybe we can work something out; please I don't want to die.”

 

“Were you going to spare the lives of the people in this house, I don't think so. You life will not be saved either; you threatened a family unable to protect themselves and wanted to kill a baby for doing what they do. Someone like that shouldn't breathe the same air, as these people. As for remembering my name, you won't be able to remember it because you will be dead.” Hinata said with her eyes hidden in her short hair. Looking up the man's eyes widened in fear only to feel blood flowing down his nose and between his eyes. Looking in the mirror next to where he was standing, his eyes rolled up into his head as he passed out on the floor dead. The wooden spoon that was in Hinata's hand was buried deep into his skull stopping at the handle only where the eye ball was located.

 

Turning around Hinata walked towards Tsunami and Inari and quickly untied them. “Go to your nearest neighbors and stay there. It looks like the big fight is here, and my team could be in trouble. Inari protect your mom and sister, the others and I will take care of the rest.” Hinata said going back upstairs to grab her weapons, not caring she had blood all over her clothes. Lacing up her boots Hinata ran to the bridge to help out in the fight. `They were willing to kill innocent, helpless people and for that they shall pay, Tani didn't endure the Demon Wars to let this village fall to bandits.'

 

 

“Kakashi the Copy Ninja, it looks like I win. Hand over the builder and I will let your students go.” Zabuza said as he watched Haku throwing senbon needles at the boys surrounded by a dome made of ice. Sakura stood in front of Tazuna with a kunai rose in a defensive stance occasionally screaming as Sasuke took another hit. “Looks like you are missing a person, I wonder if they were too scared to show up. It doesn't matter though she wouldn't have made a difference.”

 

“I think differently” Kakashi said feeling spiked chakra coming towards them. “She's on her way and she's pissed. That's never a good thing.”

 

“Then let's take care of this now, and then I can take pleasure in killing your pathetic team.” Zabuza said as he stood up and quickly called upon the mist to cover the area.

 

“You really don't get it do you” Kakashi said with a small smile. “You just helped us out more than you know. My team isn't pathetic I have the most interesting team out there. I have Sakura Hanuro who graduated the top kunoichi of her class. Sasuke Uchiha, the last Uchiha and top of his class. Naruto Uzumaki who you seen have to be the most hyper active surprising ninja there is, and finally Hinata no Sabaku, a normally calm medic that you pissed off somehow. I don't want to be in your shoes, right now.” Kakashi said now talking through the mist.

 

Landing into the middle of the bridge from no where, Hinata moved her hand quickly dispelling the mist jutsu. “Who did it?” Hinata asked with her teeth grounding into each other in anger. Chakra was flowing off of her changing between blue and red causing wind to swirl around her as if dominating each other. “Who sent bandits to kill a newborn baby?”

 

“What are you talking about Hinata?” Naruto asked from inside of the dome, both him and Sasuke had senbon needles sticking into various parts of their body, none of which were fatal.

 

“Some bastard sent a couple of bandits to kill Tsunami, Inari and the new baby.” Hinata said watching Naruto turn to look at her only to get a needle in the neck. Rolling his eyes up into his head Naruto collapsed on the ground. `You bastards, first you attack an innocent family and now my love. You all are going to die.' Hinata thought as she moved her hand with the chakra flowing through her calling on the water in the mirrors. Clenching her fist the water dissipated in the mirrors making Haku fall to the ground shaking her head in confusion.

 

“But we never attacked any babies, or anything. We have been here the whole time” Haku said looking up into the face of the person who single-handedly destroyed her jutsu. “Hinata, you were the one who destroyed my jutsu.”

 

“Haku” Hinata said walking closer to the girl. “I had hoped we would meet again on better terms. If I knew you would do something like this I would have made sure you died when I had the chance.”

 

“Girly” Zabuza said watching Haku fall to her knees at her idol wishing she was dead. “We may be missing-nin but we don't kill innocent babies or little kids. We do have rules you know.”

 

“Then who would do something like that?” Hinata asked glaring at Zabuza hard enough that he felt his blood run cold.

 

“That would be us. Demon of the Mist, that's not your title, it should be more like baby of the Mist. You got taken out by a couple kids so I sent people to kill the family as insurance.” A man in a white suit said surrounded by mercenaries.

 

“Gato you would betray us” Zabuza said turning to look at the sadistically evil man. “Kakashi it looks like we no longer have a problem.”

 

“No it would appear that we don't, but with how mad Hinata is you might want to watch out.” Kakashi said before appearing next to Naruto and moving him by Tazuna and Sakura for sake keepings.

 

Watching Kakashi attempt to do a medical jutsu on Naruto Haku spoke up and said “He's not dead, just knocked out for a few hours.” Haku said “I couldn't kill him.”

 

“Good to know” Hinata said walking past Haku and Zabuza and went to face Gato and his army. “Sasuke I will need some assistance.”

 

Sasuke at hearing his name appeared next to Hinata noticing she was still pissed but no longer seeing red. “What do you need?”

 

“I will need lightening over a huge area. I will supply the water, just be prepared to move out of the way.” Hinata said pushing chakra to her eyes making her eyes appear like she had activated the Byakugan.

 

“That's a lot of water but I trust you.” Sasuke muttered under his breath so that Hinata heard him. Sasuke watched fascinated as Hinata began speaking in a low voice, words he has never heard before.

 

Bringing her arms up to her sides Hinata said “Get ready Sasuke” as she raised her hands making water shoot up on both sides of the bridge. Crossing her arms in front of her the water came crashing into the bridge wave after wave washing people over board. “Now Sasuke” Hinata shouted as a circle of water surrounded the enemies in front of them with it filled up making them unable to move.

 

Quickly moving through some hand signs Sasuke shouted “Lightening Style: Zeus's Rage” as lightening appeared in Sasuke's hands in the shape of bolts that he threw into the water quickly electrocuting those inside. Breathing heavily Sasuke looked to Hinata and noticed that she no longer had chakra circling her. Instead Hinata leaned back about to fall onto the bridge only to be caught by Sasuke as she fell.

 

Picking her up and carrying her to a resting Naruto Haku stopped him and said “Please I would like to help. She saved my life so please let me be able to repay that.”

 

“If anything happens to her, I will kill you myself” Sasuke said glaring at Haku with his eyes red and his sharingan activated.

 

Zabuza noticed the blood red eyes of Sasuke and recognized him instantly. “She will not kill him, she has studied hard to one day be able to a great medic like Hinata.”

 

“What the hell is going on” Sakura asked watching the two missing-nin's talk as if they were old friends. “You know Hinata, and what was that power she used? I want answers.”

 

“Not now Sakura” Kakashi said “we need to get these two to the house to rest. This mission is done and the bridge should be completed soon. After that was are going home.”

“Hinata is just exhausted; she used a lot of chakra. Naruto should be coming around soon; I made sure to hit a pressure point and nothing else. Even Sasuke is fine; nothing a light healing would take care of.” Haku answered walking with the others to the house.

 

“You always were too soft Haku” Zabuza said with affection in his voice to the girl. “but then to be a healer you will need to be.”

 

“Kakashi walk with me, we need to talk” Zabuza said falling behind the others walking with the Copy-Nin watching the others in front of them. Sasuke had Hinata on his back and Tazuna was carrying Naruto. Together the two of them talked on the way back to Tazuna's house.
