HINATA'S MINDSCAPE
Naruto and Hinata sat a good distance from each other in the living room. There was an awkward silence and clearly they were both uncomfortable.
'What if he's mad at that kiss? Or I found out he had the nine tailed fox sealed in him' Hinata worried.
'Darn it what the hell am I suppose to do?! This is so weird! But I can't stay here and not talk to her.' Naruto thought. 'She says she loves me at least that's before she found out about the fox'
"So this is how your mind looks huh?" He asked. "It's really nice."
"T-thank you. But it's not all that great"
"Are you kidding? The fire lord would kill to get a place like this......well if it was real anyway. At least your mindscape isn't a sewer." Naruto frowned.
"D-do you want to talk about it?" Hinata asked out the blue.
"Huh about what?"
""Well Megumi told me that one's mindscape is a reflection of one's mind.” Hinata started. "I.....I know how hard your life has been, I’ve always watched you as no one would help you or acknowledged you." she paused. "I know why now."
Naruto's shoulders slummed after hearing this.
"I always wondered why almost everyone acted as though you were some sort of monster. You were mostly ignored but......" Hinata hesitated. “I-I remember one time on the evening of October 10th during the celebration of the fox's defeat, we were only 7 years old at the time."
Naruto’s head snapped up with a surprised look on his face. 'No she couldn't know about that!" He thought. 'No way!'
"I got separated from my guard. As I wondered I spotted you. But what I saw frightened me. You were covered in cuts, and had a large mob with weapons in hand trying to catch you." She continued. "I ran as fast as I could to find someone to help. I ran into AUBU ninja on 3 different occasions but all of them said the same thing: "The demon deserves to die". I soon found an AUBU willing to help. I later found out that the attack put you in the hospital."
"So it was you who got that AUBU to help me? I wouldn't be here if it weren’t for you. Thanks Hinata."
“There’s nothing to thank me for Naruto." I would have done it for anyone"
'Dammit I’m such a moron. All this time I ignored Hinata. I can't believe I didn't notice it.'
"Uuhh Hinata?”
"Yes?"
"That day when we were sent to look for food...... you said.... I was wondering if….. Uuh."
Hinata knew what was on his mind and started blushing. "Naruto. M-m-my feelings for you haven't changed. If anything they've gotten stronger. You were treated so badly and yet you never let it get you down. You’re a hero for holding the fox back."
Thanks Hinata. Those words mean allot to me" Nanto started. "I was wondering when we get out of this mess maybe we'd hang out more?" He asked hopefully
'Hang out?!?! He's asking me to hang out with him?!?!?!' Hinata thought to herself "Yes I’d like that."
Several moments pass this time in a more comfortable silence. Then Naruto spoke up.
"Your right you know."
"About what?"
"About my life." Naruto answered. "I was hated and I never knew why. The only people who cared about me were the Raman shop owner and his daughter, Iruka sensei, and old man hokage. I used to stay in the orphanage but I got kicked out. I actually lived on the streets for a while."
After hearing this, Hinata moved closer to Naruto. "I’m sorry. I didn't know. If you don't want to talk about it’s alright."
"No I think you right I should get it out of my system.” Naruto started. "You know despite the way I act I am still human I’ve felt urges to do horrible things. And on one occasion I acted on them this was before I joined the academy. I tried to kill myself.
Hinata eyes widen with shock after hearing this but said nothing.
I tried stabbing myself but the cut just kept healing. I always took this as a sign. That maybe some higher power didn't want me to die, After I while I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I made myself a promise to show everyone in the village that I’m not the demon they see me as, I would work hard to become hokage.” Naruto stated. Remember when I failed the academy? Ever wondered how I got my headband and became a ninja?
"Yes I’ve always wondered about that." Hinata admitted.
"You see Mizuki tricked me. He said if i stole a forbidden scroll and learn a jutsu from it I will pass. It turns out he wanted the scroll for himself. Iruka sensei found me and before we knew it Mizuki attacked and it was during that attack he told me about the fox sealed in me saying I was the nine tailed fox reborn. I got so upset i ran away but not before iruka sensei took the hit from a Shuriken that was meant for me. I found a place to hide and from there i saw mizuki about to kill iruka sensei. I knocked him back and defeated him with the jutsu i learned from the scroll, the shadow clone jutsu." Naruto paused for a moment. "I never had any parents so when i make a new bond with someone a guess i kind of cling to it since i never had any while growing up."
There were several thoughts running trough Hinata’s head, she was amazed, sad, proud, and angry. "I don't understand it the fourth hokage was a sealmaster from what the history books say." she started. "One would think that he wouldn’t just seal the nine tailed fox without making sure he won't get out, or take over your body." she said.
"You’re the first person i ever told all of that to. Not even iruka knows about some stuff i told you."
"Naruto i-i.... Thank you for trusting me.”
Naruto then put on his trademark grin. “Hey no problem.”
There was another moment of silence and soon they found themselves sitting side by side enjoying each other’s company.
"soooo….. How the heck did you get a goddess sealed inside you?"
"Well Megumi was with me from before i can remember. But she wasn't always sealed in me." Hinata started. "She always played with me, and everyone thought she was just an imaginary friend but i knew better. She is like a big sister to Me." She paused and smile at all the fond memories she had with Megumi. "Would you believe me if i told you i wasn't always so shy and timid?"
"Ummm welllllllll" Naruto then rubbed the back of his head and with his trademark grin replied. "No."
"You see Megumi was always with me. Even when my father openly showed his disappointment in me. When i was 7 Megumi got in a fight with what i assume to be another goddess. She always avoids answering any questions i ask about the whole thing. Megumi won but she was badly injured. She said she needed to seal herself into something to save her life. I immediately volunteered she when used her last bit of energy to seal her in me. I never heard from her again until all this happened.
"You must have been glad to see her again."
"Actually i was terrified of her."
"Why you said she was like a sister to you right?"
"Yes but you see that was when i was young. Although she told me she was a goddess my young mind never really wrapped around the fact that she was a being that people worshiped, a being of great power, that should always be respected." She started. "I’m older now. And now i realize exactly what she was and what she is capable of. I had no idea how she would have looked at me after all these years, after all people' views on others change as time passes."
"So does she treat you any different?" Naruto asked.
Hinata smiled. "Not at all she still looks at me like a sister. She’s really kind and gentle when i was little she would sneak me out of the compound do things for fun. It was from her i learned to press flowers, We would spend hours in the forest looking for flowers."
"Wouldn’t the guards notice you missing all that time?"
"Megumi can cast genjutsu powerful enough to trick the Byakugan. So no one ever missed me."
"Wow that must have being great. You must have felt real bad about not having any contact with her for so long."
"Yes i was sad----"
"But you have her again so everything will be alright."
" Actually everything isn't alright." Hinata started. "During the time she was asleep in me there was no one with me. Everyone saw me as a disappointment. And she wasn’t there to cheer me on or comfort me. I came to rely on her too much for support and with her gone I no longer had that support, M-my shyness is the result of that. And the fact that Megumi accidentally sealed herself in improperly didn't help. In fact it made it even harder to fight the way i should." She paused for a moment and looked Naruto dead in the sys with a sad expression. "Because of the way the seal was placed I’m dying. My chakra isn't moving through my body the way it should. This Yoko that Megumi speaks of can fix my seal otherwise I’ll die in a few months.
"WHAT?!?!?!"
"It’s alright Naruto, Megumi seems to know what she's doing. After we get help from Yoko I’ll be fine." She assured him.
"i hope so I’d like to get to know you better.”
Hinata turned to him in shock and soon after her face turned so red it practically glowed. 'Don’t faint Hinata don't faint Hinata don't faint Hinata don't faint Hinata 'Was all that was going through her mind. '
"So how long have we been out anyway? Naruto asked.
"Megumi says it's been about 4 months." Hinata replied.
"Dang that’s a long time to be tortured" Naruto mumbled to himself.
"I-I’m sorry if i new you were being attack we would have come sooner."
"Its ok you couldn't have known."
"So what have you been doing all thins time? Naruto asked.
"Megumi and i were studying to find a way to fix my seal and she was also training me in a new fighting style." Hinata replied.
"Wow a new fight style huh?"
"Yeah it's really old in fact our clans gentle fist came from this style. Its called tai chi and Megumi says a have a particularly good knack for it."
"Wow can you show me." Naruto asked excitedly.
"Sure"
Hinata got up and lead Naruto to a nearby forest she used for training. The then walked up to a tree just barely touched it. Suddenly the tree shook violently causing leaves to drop everywhere.
"You see tai chi can take seemingly harmless touches into powerful strikes, if i wanted i can make effects like poison, break bones, knock you out, even shut down or destroy chakra points." Hinata explained. " The whole style revolves around being fluid like water, dodging, then striking, or sometimes using my opponents own force against them."
"Whoa.... That...is.... SO COOL!!" shouted Naruto. "You must have some good chakra control to be able to do that stuff."
"No i don't, remember the seal hinders my chakra control. No i don't use chakra at all. This style is only possible if you use chi." Hinata explained.
"Chi? What the hell is that?"
"Megumi can explain this better than me but I’ll try. There are several different energies we can use chakra is what we are most familiar with. But there's also chi and spirit." She started. "As you know chakra flows inside the body, but chi flows in and around everything plants, animals, dirt, everything. It’s trough chi we are all connected. There are different kinds of chi just like chakra. There are: fire, water, air, earth, light, and darkness. She then paused to let it sink in. "Y you’ll notice sometimes Megumi uses strange handsigns from time to time. Those signs are elemental signs that use chi. Just like chakra you can use signs to make jutsu and chi jutsu does not drain chi from you but from your surroundings, well most of the time anyway."
"So in other words you can use jutsu powered by chi all day and not get tired. Man that sounds great!!" Naruto exclaimed.
"NO! Naruto that is exactly way Megumi said ninja in particular should never learn chi powered jutsu." Hinata scolded.
"Wha why?"
"N-N-Naruto chi can not be used indefinitely. Yes it will most certainly last longer that most ninja' chakra but you must remember that living things need that chi. Using too much of it can kill off an entire habitat. Imagine what would happen if several ninja were fighting using just chi based jutsu, it would leave barren land where forests once stood. "
"Wow that sounds serious." Naruto replied
"It is serious, however the jutsu this only applies to the jutsu that take chi from the surroundings these jutsu are called Tao jutsu. These are like our ninjutsu and genjutsu. You can be a bit free with using fire chi. And you can use light chi as long as it's daylight out. But water, earth, and air chi use should be kept at a minimum, without them present life cannot flourish and if an area is drained it takes a long time for the chi to come back. Dark chi is an absolute no regardless of the circumstance this chi can taint the very depths of your soul. Megumi warns that in ones life he or she should limit dark chi use to 3 times, anymore than that and you will start to change. There are very few who can use dark chi without ill effects.
After explaining this Naruto sat down in deep thought. "Man i can see why Megumi wouldn't want ninja to learn taojutsu. It’s much too dangerous and only responsible people should learn it. That makes you the perfect chose Hinata. Your caring nature will always make you think about the consequences from using taojutsu." Naruto commented. "You just might be the only person in the world who should be allowed to learn taojutsu."
Hearing Naruto comment her Hinata blushed lightly. "T-thank you. But there is more. Taichi is the equivalent of ninja taijutsu, and can be used for a very long time. Taichi uses the chi your body generates. And the normal human can made chi very quickly.
"Ha so that's why Megumi was focusing mostly on tai chi?
"Yeah. It’s not that big of a deal i can use taojutsu but I’ve been train in hand to hand combat all my life, so I’m more comfortable with using tai chi.
“Oh i see.” Naruto started. “So how does Megumi know about tai chi anyway?”
“She told me she was here many hundreds of years ago and lived life as a human. She came down as a child and was taken in by monks and they taught her taichi.
“Hold on monks?” Naruto asked.
“Yes it seems long ago there was a group of monks that trained to fight but they never really fought. They would much rather talk their way out of conflict. They were known as the Shaolin monks.”
“So what would drive monks of all people to fight?” Naruto asked.
“You see one day many badly wounded warriors came to a temple. The monks nursed them back to heath. And in return the warriors showed them how to fight. You see during the warrior’s stay at the temple the monks noticed the focus and discipline the warriors attained though their training. The monks took the offer but not to learn how to hurt others but to use as a way to learn to focus. After teaching everything they could most of the warriors left, and over the years the monks took the knowledge they learned to create the taichi fighting style.”
“So that’s how it started. But how did gentle fist come about?” Naruto asked.
“ That started with the birth of the Byakugan. My clan believes it was a gift from the gods but it seems that was not the case. It started when a monk meditated for 3 months never stopping to eat, drink, or sleep. Although he was in a trance like state he saw everything that was happening around him after the first month. When he came out of meditation his eyes were that of the Byakugan. The monk left the temple and started a family. He taught his children tai chi but over many generations the monk’s children became more arrogant due to the Byakugan’s power. And modified tai chi to gentle fist, a style that is more aggressive and more rigid, compared to tai chi that is more flowing and a bit more defensive.
“It’s hard to believe the Hyuuga are descended from monks.” Naruto chuckled
“If you told that to some members they might take it as an insult so please don’t tell anyone ok?”
That’s a promise! BELEAVE IT!”
“So do you want to have light spar?” Hinata asked.
“Yeah sure just don’t pummel me too much.” Naruto said jokingly
“Don’t worry I won’t…Much.”
As she said that both of them engaged in hand to hand combat, feeling happier than they ever been before.
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
Kakashi and Kurenai and their respective teams went to the hospital for a visit. Upon entering the hospital they noticed that there was a lot of activity. Nurses, orderlies, and doctors running around to and from the intensive care unit. Just as they were about to enter doctor Shinji walked out.
“Is something wrong doctor? Asked Kurenai.
“I’ll have to make this brief. About 45 minutes ago a strange connection between Naruto and Hinata was formed, shortly afterwards Naruto’s brain activity dropped to near zero, and soon after that Hinata’s brain shot up to twice it’s normal activity.
“What could have caused this?” Sakura asked.
“I don’t know.” The doctor started. “ The connection at first glance looked like chakra but upon closer inspection we realized it isn’t chakra, it’s something I’ve never encountered before. We’ll run some tests and see what happens. We’re basically flying by the seat of our pants at this point.” The doctor replied
“So I take it seeing them is out of the question.” Kakashi stated
“I’m afraid so we know too little about this connection to risk letting anyone near it”
Just then the P.A rang out “doctor Shinji, paging doctor Shinji, you are needed in surgery immediately.”
The doctor quickly looked at his watch. “Oh shit! I’m sorry I have to go. They are both in stable condition we will continue to look after them.
“Thank you doctor.
“Now thanks necessary. Now I have to get going.”
With that the doctor walked off
DING DONG “paging doctor Shinji you are needed in surgery.
“OH COME FUCKING ON!!!! YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT 10 SECONDS AGO!!! WAT THE HELL YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?!?!? HAVE SCOTTIE BEAM ME UP THERE?!?!
Teams 7 and 8 sweatdropped at the doctor’s antics and left.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
A/N lol the same thing happened to my dad’s doctor I just had to put it in. it was freaking hilarious it’s understandable though. Being a doctor sucks too much, work and you still get yelled at by patients)
Next chapter going to be the attack on Yoko.
i'm VERY sorry for the delay my battary and power cord on my computer went crazy (bad power surge i think) i wish i coud have made that wait worth while but i can't but i have the idea for the next chapter down and my OLDER bother found me a translator so i'll be working on the new chapters.

“There’s nothing to thank me for Naruto." I would have done it for anyone"
'Dammit I’m such a moron. All this time I ignored Hinata. I can't believe I didn't notice it.'
"Uuhh Hinata?”
"Yes?"

Hearing Naruto comment her Hinata blushed lightly. "T-thank you. But there is more. Taichi is the equivalent of ninja taijutsu, and can be used for a very long time. Taichi uses the chi your body generates. And the normal human can made chi very quickly.
"Ha so that's why Megumi was focusing mostly on tai chi?
"Yeah. It’s not that big of a deal i can use taojutsu but I’ve been train in hand to hand combat all my life, so I’m more comfortable with using tai chi.
“Oh i see.” Naruto started. “So how does Megumi know about tai chi anyway?”
“She told me she was here many hundreds of years ago and lived life as a human. She came down as a child and was taken in by monks and they taught her taichi.
“Hold on monks?” Naruto asked.
“Yes it seems long ago there was a group of monks that trained to fight but they never really fought. They would much rather talk their way out of conflict. They were known as the Shaolin monks.”
“So what would drive monks of all people to fight?” Naruto asked.
“You see one day many badly wounded warriors came to a temple. The monks nursed them back to heath. And in return the warriors showed them how to fight. You see during the warrior’s stay at the temple the monks noticed the focus and discipline the warriors attained though their training. The monks took the offer but not to learn how to hurt others but to use as a way to learn to focus. After teaching everything they could most of the warriors left, and over the years the monks took the knowledge they learned to create the taichi fighting style.”
“So that’s how it started. But how did gentle fist come about?” Naruto asked.
“ That started with the birth of the Byakugan. My clan believes it was a gift from the gods but it seems that was not the case. It started when a monk meditated for 3 months never stopping to eat, drink, or sleep. Although he was in a trance like state he saw everything that was happening around him after the first month. When he came out of meditation his eyes were that of the Byakugan. The monk left the temple and started a family. He taught his children tai chi but over many generations the monk’s children became more arrogant due to the Byakugan’s power. And modified tai chi to gentle fist, a style that is more aggressive and more rigid, compared to tai chi that is more flowing and a bit more defensive.
“It’s hard to believe the Hyuuga are descended from monks.” Naruto chuckled
“If you told that to some members they might take it as an insult so please don’t tell anyone ok?”
That’s a promise! BELEAVE IT!”
“So do you want to have light spar?” Hinata asked.
“Yeah sure just don’t pummel me too much.” Naruto said jokingly
“Don’t worry I won’t…Much.”
As she said that both of them engaged in hand to hand combat, feeling happier than they ever been before.
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
Kakashi and Kurenai and their respective teams went to the hospital for a visit. Upon entering the hospital they noticed that there was a lot of activity. Nurses, orderlies, and doctors running around to and from the intensive care unit. Just as they were about to enter doctor Shinji walked out.
“Is something wrong doctor? Asked Kurenai.
“I’ll have to make this brief. About 45 minutes ago a strange connection between Naruto and Hinata was formed, shortly afterwards Naruto’s brain activity dropped to near zero, and soon after that Hinata’s brain shot up to twice it’s normal activity.
“What could have caused this?” Sakura asked.
“I don’t know.” The doctor started. “ The connection at first glance looked like chakra but upon closer inspection we realized it isn’t chakra, it’s something I’ve never encountered before. We’ll run some tests and see what happens. We’re basically flying by the seat of our pants at this point.” The doctor replied
“So I take it seeing them is out of the question.” Kakashi stated
“I’m afraid so we know too little about this connection to risk letting anyone near it”
Just then the P.A rang out “doctor Shinji, paging doctor Shinji, you are needed in surgery immediately.”
The doctor quickly looked at his watch. “Oh shit! I’m sorry I have to go. They are both in stable condition we will continue to look after them.
“Thank you doctor.
“Now thanks necessary. Now I have to get going.”
With that the doctor walked off
DING DONG “paging doctor Shinji you are needed in surgery.
“OH COME FUCKING ON!!!! YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT 10 SECONDS AGO!!! WAT THE HELL YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?!?!? HAVE SCOTTIE BEAM ME UP THERE?!?!
Teams 7 and 8 sweatdropped at the doctor’s antics and left.
