Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I did just get Guitar Hero for the PS2, one word: Awesome

A/N: It is finally here:Chapter 6 of A Fox, A Snake, and A Hyuuga! Oh and Hinata'sUnofficialStalker to answer your question: I don't really think Anko is being too girlish because she has gotten a second chance at being young again, and she wants to have fun. I don't think that she is always a "blood-thirsty knife-licker" and she is showing another side of her personality (or at least that's what I attempt to portrait.) But anyway, onto the story!

Night had fallen onto Konoha. The city seemed alive under the gentle moonlight. Shadows were being cast over the Hokage monument as a figure stood on an ancient tree's solid branch, watching the city from high above. Another figure landed next to him almost perfect silence, kneeling before him and saying, "Orochimaru-sama, I believe that Anko-san has received your...message..." the young man said to his master. The snake sannin's yellow eyes narrowed as he gave a smirk knowing that soon, everything was going to fall into place... He continued to watch the weaklings down below as they went along with their lives not even noticing they were there. Without even glancing in the young man's direction he replied, "Thank you for that information, you may begin your mission at midnight. The young man stood up and bowed while replying obediently, "Yes Orochimaru-sama," then vanishing quickly afterwards into the night. "You will return to me soon, Anko, and then you shall fufill your destiny that you forsake so long ago..."

A small amount of sweat was appearing on his face as Naruto sprinted over to the Hokage office with Anko in his arms. Anko wasn't heavy at all, the sweat was mostly from the panic that had welled up inside him. Shino, Neji, Hinata, and Ino were close behind him as he dashed into the building, running up the stairs to Tsunade's office screaming, "BAA-CHAN! ANKO IS IN TROUBLE!" As soon as she heard the amount of panic in his voice, Tsunade immediately called Shizune into her office to prepare a makeshift bed for the girl. The large wooden doors to the office burst open with Shizune carrying in several blankets and a pillow.

Naruto came in close behind her, carrying the unconscious Anko. He slowly set the girl down on the bed as if she were made of glass, and looked at Tsunade and spoke with anger burning in his eyes, "Baa-chan...he is coming, her curse seal flared up and she fainted..." He looked down towards the ground and softly spoke, "I couldn't do anything to help her...I'm sorry I failed you baa-chan, and you too Anko-chan..." He quickly turned and silently left the room. Tsunade was stunned to hear him take this so hard, and looking at everyone else's faces, it seems they were surprised too. "Naruto..."

Setting her emotions aside for the moment, Tsunade spoke to the four remaining genin in a professional tone, "Shino, I will need you to send bugs to alert the others to what has happened, Ino, I need you and Chouji to talk to Naruto for me, Neji and Hinata I ask that you guard Anko for now since you two can use your byakugan to keep a lookout while I figure out a way to seal this room from Orochimaru. I will be in the study, oh, and don't push yourselves too hard." The four genin replied with a quick yes, or a nod in Shino's case, and began their assigned duties. Shizune placed a small wet towel on Anko's forehead, and checked her pulse. "This is strange, even though she is unconscious and seems to be breathing normally, her pulse is moving like she has been running all day..." She gave a worried glance to the girl, and left the room to immediately tell the Hokage.

Outside on the roof, Shino began to release messaging bugs that would fly directly to his comrades to alert them of the situation. As soon as they began appearing from underneath his long coat, they immediately retreated back inside, his body filled with a nervous buzzing. "What? You feel an evil presence? I wonder why I cannot sense it..." He had started his way back to the roof entrance when his instincts told him to duck. As he did he heard several shuriken cut through the air where his head had been only a moment ago. Crouching with a kunai bared, bugs began swarming angrily out from his body to his defense. "This is bad..." he thought as he prepared himself for his unseen assailant.

"Kit, you have to understand, it was not your fault," the demon told his container in a gentle manner. After seeing how upset he was over something he had no control over, Kyuubi attempted to calm his Kit down since his anger would help no one. "You may not have been able to stop her curse seal from flaring up, but you were able to get her medical attention and most likely saving her life, so don't beat yourself up over this." Naruto simply stayed silent, mulling over the demon's words. It was true that nothing could be done about the seal, but it didn't make it any better to know that that bastard Orochimaru was coming to get her. "Damn it, am I strong enough to face him on my own?" He clenched his fists together and pounded the wall to release his frustration. He looked up as he heard a pair of footsteps approaching. "Ino, Chouji, what's wrong?" he asked. Chouji shuffled his feet nervously, while Ino looked at him and softly said, "Naruto, you know that you did the right thing, why beat yourself up over it?" The boy looked to the side and replied, "Well, I know that Ino, but...Orochimaru is coming, I don't really know if I can stand up to him." Chouji raised his head and finally spoke up, "But Naruto, that's why we are all here. We all came to help you guys after we saw that you needed help. We are your friends and we have to stick together." Ino gave Chouji a nod in agreement, "That's right, you won't be the only one fighting Orochimaru, Naruto! Don't forget, we still have all the other ninja in the village to help, even Hokage-sama! There is no way that we could lose if we have such a big home advantage!" She gave a confident grin and Chouji gave Naruto a thumbs up. Naruto gave a genuine smile, "Thanks you guys...Alright! I am going to make that snake bastard pay for hurting Anko-chan, and make him give back Sasuke!" The three shared a friendly silence, knowing that they would be ready.

A snake slithered through the darkness, its sharp hiss still echoing even though it had disappeared from sight. Anko glanced all around for any sight of the damn serpent, ready to either fight or run away at a moment's notice. Sweat began to trickle down her cheek as her body was suddenly paralyzed. She looked down at her feet and noticed the large serpent she had seen before, wrap itself around her. "Shit! I can't let this happen, I don't want it to happen! I don't want to go back with him!" the girl thought as her mind raced with possible ways to escape from the increasingly tight grip of the serpent. She found she had been holding a kunai, and began furiously stabbing at the snake's body in a futile effort to make it release her. All the blood had rushed from her limbs into her now throbbing head, making her vision blur. She grit her teeth and saw the snake's head rear up, looking down at her. Just as she thought it was about to strike, the mouth had opened and Orochimaru slithered out of it, wearing a very large smirk. "Ah, Anko, I see you are doing well. I take it you have already adjusted to your body? Do not worry, I will not kill you...I am going to merely, take what I should have had many years ago." Her eyes widened in fear as she looked at the man who had nearly taken control of her entire life. "No," she choked out, "No no no no no NO! I am not going back to that place! " she screamed as much as she could while staring at the bastard's smug face. "Oh yes, my dear Anko, I will have you back soon, very soon...heh heh heh..."

Neji and Hinata stared in shock for a moment as Anko began tossing and turning in her bed. Quiet whimpers came from her mouth as the seal on her neck began glowing a burning red, and was starting to spread across her neck. "Byakugan!" Neji muttered as his bloodline activated. Looking at her chakra coils, he could see that there was a dark energy flowing into them like poison. He winced, "Damn it, this is not good, it's just like Sasuke's and if this seal continues to grow..." He glanced over at Hinata, who was still staring in shock at Anko. "Hinata-sama...HINATA-SAMA!" he shouted, grabbing the girl's attention. She turned her head and stared at her cousin, "I need to go and get Hokage-sama, take care of Anko!" He said over his shoulder as he began running out the door towards the study. The young Hyuuga gave a pitying look at the Jounin, and knelt down and began softly petting her head while wondering how things had turned out like they did.

A warm feeling surrounded her body, the serpent loosened its hold around her and she gasped for air. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of white eyes staring back at her. "Hey Hinata, where am I?" Anko asked the Hyuuga in a weak voice. Hinata almost gave a squeak in surprise but caught herself and replied, "Ah Anko-san, you are in the Hokage's office, Naruto-kun brought you in after you had collapsed in the restaurant. Neji, Shino, Chouji, Ino, and I came along after we saw what happened. How are you feeling?" The purple haired girl gave a weak smile, "Heh, well, my date was ruined and I had the worst nightmare in the world, so I feel like shit." Hinata gave a small smile. Anko began to sit up but Hinata lightly pushed her back down, "You can't Anko-san, you need to rest!" The Jounin gave a grumble but was silently thankful to the girl for looking out for her and also helping her escape her nightmare. "It was too soon to see that bastard's face again..." she thought angrily. "Hinata, where is Naruto?" Hinata looked away, "He is outside. He became upset after seeing you hurt, and Chouji and Ino went to talk to him." Anko gave a weary sigh, "That kid, he always takes the safety of his friends so personally..." A sniff was heard from the young girl as tears began dropping to the floor. Anko blinked in surprise, "Hinata? Hinata, what's wrong?" Hinata shuddered uncontrollably but managed to speak, "He...He l-likes you a-a l-lot Anko-san...," the girl began to compose herself as Anko listened intently to hear her soft voice, "I have never seen such anger or worry on his face before, and...I have never seen him so happy right after you kissed him." The tears began falling again, but this time there were no shudders. Anko looked at the girl while feeling pangs of guilt for not even realizing that she had a crush on Naruto. She softly grabbed her hand, catching her attention, "You like him, don't you Hinata?" she murmured. Hinata blushed and gave a quick nod in agreement. "Well, if you like him so much, why don't you fight me for him?" The girl's white eyes widened, "You, you mean, literally Anko-san? I couldn't win...it's hopeless..." Anko chuckled softly, "No, I mean, show him you like him, be more aggressive, more confident, in essence, become my rival!" Hinata gasped in amazement, "Anko-san, how can you suggest such a thing? He likes you a lot and..." Anko gave an exasperated sigh, "He may like me, but that doesn't mean you should just give up and crawl under a rock to die! If you really like him, you would continue to win him over. Besides," she said with a grin, "I could use the challenge!" The Hyuuga merely stared at the Jounin for a while before she finally giggled and nodded with confidence, "You are right Anko-san, I will not lose to you just yet!" Anko gave a weary smile, "That's good, since I don't think I will be here much longer...since that snake bastard is on his way." Hinata stood up with a determined look in her eyes, "Anko-san, I will make sure that you stay safe, I promise!" Looking back down, Hinata noticed Anko had fallen into a peaceful sleep. "She is right, I will not give up yet on Naruto-kun!" She activated her Byakugan and gasped when she saw Shino and someone else on the roof.

In the study sitting behind piles of books, Tsunade gave a frustrated grunt and shoved her last book out of the way. Shizune stood by with her pet pig Tonton ready for any order the Hokage might give. "Tsunade-sama, why don't you take a small break? I can go make some tea, or if you prefer, I can bring a bottle of sake." Tsunade's golden brown eyes darted to her assistant as a way of saying, "I am busy right now and I have a massive headache so please be quiet." Shizune decided now would be a good time to look for the sealing jutsu as well, and walked around looking at the many ancient scrolls and books that have been collected in Konoha's history. "This place always amazes me, so much information compiled over centuries...but it hasn't been organized for quite a while, it's no wonder Tsunade-sama can't find what she is looking for." Tsunade stood up and shrugged, "Well it seems like organizing this place is top priority in the next few months, but I think that it would be fine if we just return to the office and guard Anko there. There is no way to find the right sealing jutsu for now." Shizune gave a quick smile in agreement and began placing the books that they had looked through on the correct shelves. Neji ran into the room, stopping just before the large pile of books, "Tsunade-sama, it seems there is some trouble with Anko." Tsunade became alert once more, walking over to the young boy, "Oh? What is wrong, Neji?" "It seems there is a poisonous energy flowing into Anko-san's chakra coils. Is there anything you can do about it?" Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes in thought, "This is bad, it seems that because it is one of Orochimaru's original curse seal's, the raw power it contains is not held back from harming the user in any way even if they are not using it for increased power," she opened her eyes and gave a grim look, "I will try to heal it but it will take a tremedous amount of time and energy, and I know that for a seal this strong, a sealing jutsu like the one Kakashi-san had used on Sasuke will not work." The Hokage looked over her shoulder and saw her assistant still cleaning up the mess that she had made in a matter of hours. "Shizune, I need you to continue to look for that scroll for me while I take care of this." The raven haired women gave a weary nod and went back to work. Tsunade began to walk out of the room with Neji behind her, when a large crash came from above. Neji grit his teeth and activated his Byakygan and watched as Shino was fighting on the roof and losing. He turned to Tsunade and told her what he had seen, and she gave him a look that said everything, "Go." The Hyuuga gave a brisk nod and ran towards the stairs to the rooftop.

The young man chuckled softly to himself, "Heh, it was pretty interesting to fight an Aburame member with such skill, it's amazing that he is only a Genin. It is too bad that those ANBU members I had dealt with earlier were so predictable, but I had my orders to take out anyone that got in my way." The Aburame was kneeling down on the ground, exhausted after fighting for so long. The young man and gave him a smirk, picking him up by the collar of his coat, "Have you had enough?" There was no reply, but there was a sharp pain in the young man's arm, causing him to let the Genin go. Shino stood up slowly and said, "It is over, you can no longer use your chakra. My bugs have burrowed into your muscles and will not return until I tell them to. Give up now." The young man winced in pain and shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am Uchiha Sasuke! A few bugs like this will not hurt me!" Shino shook his head, "You are not Uchiha Sasuke. I do not know who you are, but know that my bugs will not hesitate to cripple you for the rest of your life." Sasuke chuckled again, "Heh, as I said before," his body began to emit an aura of chakra, "Your bugs will not hurt me." Shino frowned as he felt his bugs inside the imposter's body explode from an overload of chakra. Sasuke rushed forward and attempted to kick Shino's stomach, but his leg went right through as Shino's body burst into bugs. "A bug bunshin!" As soon as both of his feet landed on the ground, bugs wrapped around his feet pinning him to the ground. "Damn, I was careless! No more time to waste!" Sasuke grit his teeth as he felt thousands of sharp bites all at once. Shino stood to the side and watched with no emotion as his bugs began to devour the imposter's feet. Sasuke suddenly appeared behind Shino and kicked him into the air and jumped after him. He grabbed his leg and swung the Genin through the air, releasing him so that he flew right back onto the roof with a large crash. "It's over now that he is unconscious, I have to get Anko-san to Orochimaru quickly!" he thought as he ran towards the roof entrance, only to stop suddenly as the door was flung open by Hyuuga Neji. Neji glanced over fake Sasuke's shoulder and saw Shino's limp form. He activated his Byakugan and saw that he was still alive, breathing a sigh of relief. He went into his Juken stance and watched as the young man he recognized from the Chuunin Exam known as Kabuto prepared himself.

"I must help Shino as soon as possible!" Neji rushed towards the Henged Kabuto and thrust his palm towards his chest. Kabuto parried the blow downward and focused chakra on his hand and cut at Neji. Even as a small cut appeared, Neji paid no attention to it and continued his attack by crouching low to the ground, preparing his Hakke Rokujuyon Sho. As soon as Kabuto saw his stance he immediately tensed, remembering from a talk with Orochimaru how the technique that goes with the stance can render all tenketsu in one's body useless. The Hyuuga struck quickly at his body, making it feel weaker with every blow. Kabuto fell backwards, his Henge being dispelled after having so many tenketsu closed, and twisted his body so he faced behind his attacker and attempted to strike near the center of Neji's skull, the area of the Byakugan's blind spot, but was soon pushed away by a massive barrier of swirling chakra. "Heh, impressive, no wonder I hear you are the Hyuuga genius," Kabuto said while slowly standing up, wiping the blood away from his mouth. Neji stood his ground and said, "You are too weak to continue, give up now." Kabuto grit his teeth as he felt the reaction to the blows slowly take affect, "Damn it, I can't open any tenketsu with medic techniques, hell, I barely have the strength to stand...Orochimaru-sama, I could use some help even if it may cost me my life." Neji had begun walking towards Kabuto and stopped before him giving a harsh glare, "You should never have come back...," he said while pulling his arm back in order to give the final blow. No sound was heard as a large sword was thrust through the air towards the Genin. Reacting with his Byakugan, Neji turned quickly and parried the sword but it still struck him through his right lung instead of the heart. The Hyuuga continued to move through the air and was slammed against the wall, coughing up blood as he struggled to breathe. A dark chuckle was the last thing he heard before darkness came.

Naruto, Chouji, and Ino had arrived back inside the Hokage's office and found Hinata with her Byakugan activated, watching over Anko intently. The happy smiles that had been on their faces was replaced by a seriousness that came only during missions. Naruto walked closer to Hinata, "Hey Hinata, don't push yourself too hard using the Byakugan, or you could end up with chakra exhaustion, then you would be lying right next to Anko," the blonde said with a chuckle. Hinata looked up at the boy and smiled, "It's all right Naruto-kun, I can manage. It seems you are doing better too." Naruto gave an approving nod, "Yeah, thanks to my friends," Naruto looked quizzically at Hinata, "You seem different Hinata..." Hinata felt her blood begin to rise to her face and shook her head a bit, "I can't be the same shy girl who always faints! I made myself a rival to Anko-san and I have to win Naruto-kun!" Mentally forcing the blood away from her face, she looked him in the eyes and said, "Nope, same old me," giving him a rare grin similar to his own. Ino and Chouji were caught off guard by this gesture and stood stunned while Naruto unknowingly had a small blush appear on his cheeks. Kyuubi, waking from his small nap, decided now would be a good time to tell his Kit, "Uh Kit, you do realize that you are blushing?" Naruto forced the blood away giving the demon the evil eye, "Argh, damn fox, stop reminding me of all the embarrassing things that happen to me!" After regaining their composure, the four Genin sat in silence watching over Anko. Tsunade and Shizune came through the large office doors and the four stood up in alert, Tsunade raised her hand saying, "Relax, it is just us, we are here to check on Anko." Naruto gave an audible sigh of relief, "Ah, it's just Tsunade no baa-chan." The others began to doze off from their long night, but Naruto smelled a familiar scent, "This smell, where is it coming from?" Kyuubi let out a low growl in his mind, "Kit ...that isn't your 'Baa-chan' that's-" "Orochimaru!" the boy finished, his adrenaline spiking up as rage clouded his sight. The link was cut off as Naruto ran up and tried to hit Tsunade but was pushed back by Shizune. Both genjutsu were dropped and Naruto yelled in rage at Orochimaru, waking up the others immediately. Ino stood her ground behind Chouji preparing her Shintenshin no Jutsu, Hinata stood confidently next to Naruto in her Juken stance. Naruto's features became feral as Kyuubi's chakra began to enter his system. His whisker marks became wider, his canine incisor teeth grew longer, his eyes turned to blood red slits, and his fingernails became claws. Speaking in a lower voice with an evil tone, he directed his glare to Orochimaru, "You will not take Anko-chan, you bastard! You took Sasuke away, but you will not take her!" Orochimaru ran to the window smiling malevolently towards the four, "Looks like we may have to wait little fox, I have something to prepare and it takes a bit of time...and a certain woman," he said while looking at Anko, who was being carried in Kabuto's arms. The door slammed open with Tsunade rushing towards Orochimaru with anger blazing in her eyes, "Orochimaru!" The Hokage leapt forward and threw a chakra powered punch towards the two Sound ninja. As the ground exploded beneath them, Kabuto wiped blood from his mouth and dragged his finger quickly over Orochimaru's arm, his hands instantly summoning a large snake that burst through the wall. Kabuto landed next to Orochimaru on the large snake's head, breathing hard, "It's not enough chakra to summon Manda, but it will be enough." The snake began to slither away through the streets, with Oro chimaru's cackling echoing in the air. Naruto felt the demonic power course through him at the sight of another precious person being taken away from him. A howl of rage rose from Naruto, everyone looked at him and with inhuman speed he jumped out the hole before anyone could stop him.

As he hit the ground, a small crater formed as he ran with all of his might following the large serpent. A trail of red chakra appeared behind him as he soon caught up to the fleeing serpent. Orochimaru turned his head and clicked his tongue in annoyance, "My my, it seems Anko-chan means a lot to the little fox...let's leave his corpse for the others to find, heh heh..." As quickly as it had begun it's escape, the serpent twisted back around to face Naruto, baring its poisonous fangs. Naruto leapt right into the mouth of the giant snake, striking the inside of its mouth with a single razor sharp claw. The blow cut open the roof of the mouth with blood spraying wildly from the wound as Naruto landed safely back on the ground, letting a satisfied grin appear on his face. The snake thrashed about in a rage, destroying some nearby buildings, but recovered quickly and began snapping at the boy with incredible speed. Naruto frowned, "Damn it, each bite seems faster than the next! If this keeps up I will not be able to dodge or even block it! I have to rush it from behind and attack Orochimaru, it's the only way!" he thought. Quickly returning from his thoughts in time to dodge another strike, he ran towards the snake and latched on, and began climbing towards the head. As soon as it felt the ninja dig his claws into it's skin, the snake hissed loudly and bucked left and right in order to throw him off. A great amount of sheer determination to save one of his comrades and precious people gave him the strength to hold onto the enraged serpent. Just as he head reached the top and saw Orochimaru glaring at him with those bright yellow eyes, a shadow fell over him and it felt like several ancient trees were crushing him instantly. The wind knocked out of him, Naruto noticed that what hit him was the snake's large tail. "Damn, I made a mistake forgetting all about the rest of it's body..." the young boy thought as he flew through the air and landed on the ground far away from where the battle had taken place. He could immediately feel the Kyuubi's chakra repair his internal organs, mend some of his cuts and fractured bones, but the weight of his failure came worse than any blow he had just taken in full force. The wind blew through the trees as he heard the serpent disappear into the night. Many feelings came to the front of his mind, but the one that was the strongest was sadness. "Anko-chan," Naruto thought as tears welled up in his eyes, "I am sorry I failed you...but I will get you back, it's a promise..." His eyelids felt heavy suddenly as the night's actions began to take a toll. He heard running footsteps coming closer and heard Tsunade cry out, "Naruto! Naruto! Hang on!" A warm feeling spread over his body making him relax, "Hey, Baa-chan, I will be okay, I got Kyuubi to help me out, just give me some time to sleep..." A slight chuckle was heard, and he was lifted onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital, "Yeah sure thing, Naruto-kun."

A bright light pierced through his closed eyelids, forcing him awake. The blonde carefully climbed out of the hospital bed, gingerly stepping on the cold hospital floor. He groaned as he remembered in a flash the events that passed the night before, and noticed that the only thing that hurt now were his sore muscles, the rest of his injuries being healed perfectly thanks to a mix of demoic chakra and medical jutsu. "But my chest feels heavy too..." he thought as sadness came over him. "Hey Kit, replace that with determination and hatred for that Snake bastard, and let's go save the girl!" Kyuubi chimed in his thoughts. Nodding in agreement, he dressed in a hurry and ran to the Hokage office. After giving a quick rap on the door, he entered and saw his most of his friends standing in front of Tsunade. "Baa-chan, what's going on?" he asked while walking up to the group. "Well Naruto, I think it is time for you to get another chance at rescuing Anko, and Sasuke, if possible. Are you up for it?" Giving a determined smile with a sparkle of intensity in his blue eyes, he said, "Yes!" Tsunade stood up and said in her 'official' voice, "Alright listen up, you are all going into the Sound country to find and rescue Anko and Sasuke. The rescue team will consist of Shikamaru who will be the leader again this time, Hinata, who is taking Neji's place since he had become badly injured last night, Kiba, Chouji, and Naruto! You may leave as soon as you are ready. Dismissed." Ino began to complain, "Tsunade-sama, why can't I go on the mission?" Tsunade looked at the girl calmly, "It is because your abilities might be needed for other things in Konoha." Ino gave a resigned sigh and nodded leaving for training with Asuma-sensei. "Sakura," Tsunade called, the pink haired kunoichi came up, "I would like for you to train as an apprentice under me. Will you accept? You have very good chakra manipulation skills." Sakura nodded with enthusiasm replying, "Of course, Tsunade-sama!" Shikamaru told the others to just pack what they needed and to meet at the gate in half an hour. As the five arrived at the gate, Naruto remembered the first rescue mission for Sasuke. "It will go better this time, we are stronger and know what we are dealing with!" he thought positively. "But Kit, remember exactly you are dealing with, a Sannin, this is not going to be easy. But don't worry, I will be here to help kick some Sannin ass!" Naruto gave the fox a mental grin and the group started forward on their mission.
