Time Changes All Chapter 7, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 7

"Hyuuga Hanabi of hidden leaf, Tanamoto Yukio of the hidden snow, will these two and their teams please come forward."

Stepping out into the middle of the field, Hanabi, Konohamaru, and Tomo stood across from the hidden snow team.

It was Hanabi who spoke, "Yukio, it means snow boy, correct?"

"So you what my name means, it gives you no advantage." Yukio commented.

"Begin!"

With that, Hanabi activated her Byakugan and took up the stance of the gentle fist, Konohamaru and Tomo took a few steps back, waiting for signals from Hanabi. The two snow Nins charged forward, as they did this however, Yukio began a series of hand seals. Hanabi's attention was drawn by the two other snow Nins as they each pulled a katana from beneath their cloaks, reacting with lightning quick reflexes, Hanabi threw two kunai at each nin, then jumped back. Tomo was the one to move forward, out of nowhere, he pulled two katana and blocked the blow from each snow Nin's blade.

Redirecting her attention back to Yukio, she caught the last hand seal before he whispered, just barely loud enough to hear, "Ninpo: Hanarete shiori no mugan (Ninja type: White out of Infinity)."

She could instantly feel the temperature in the air drop, her breath becoming a cloud that billowed upward every time she exhaled. That was when she saw it, snow flakes began to fall from the sky. They came faster and faster, until normal vision was all but useless, the cold began to numb her skin, the blowing winds deafening her. If she had been a normal shinobi, she might have been in trouble, however, she as not a normal shinobi, she was a Hyuuga. Pulling out the full ability of her Byakugan her vision began to expand, cutting through the snow, revealing everything within 30 meters to her. She spotted the two snow shinobi coming toward her, using the snow storm as cover. Moving as fast as the drifting snow would allow, she made her way as close to Yukio as she could, she was less than ten feet from him when she was forced to act.

"Kaiten!" 15 feet around Hanabi was caught in the whirl wind forces of the heavenly spin, causing both of the katana wielding Nins to be thrown a good 20 feet into the trees surrounding the small training area. Yukio was thrown back 15 feet and his technique was dispelled almost instantly. Within moments, the snow surrounding them began to clear. Yukio picked himself up off of the ground, feeling foolish for underestimating his enemy. However, none of them had any time to regret their plan of attack, as six sebon throwing needles zipped forward, and pierced their necks. Each one fell over unconscious. It was Tomo that was grinning from his vantage point to the Nins side. "Well, that was anticlimactic." Turning to Kakashi, Hanabi sighed.

She could sense it. She didn't know what it was, but she knew she could sense it. It was a feeling she had never felt before, and she didn't want to feel it anymore. It was almost like something was missing. Looking out of the window in the Jounin rest area, Hinata sighed. It was almost a warning that something was about to happen. When two Jounin entered the room, she turned toward them, however, when she tried to turn away, she found that she could not. Her body began to move on it's own, moving toward the two. As she got closer, she was able to identify them as Kakashi and Shizune. Both waved at her as she approached. In her mind she screamed at them to run, she knew what was about to happen, and she couldn't stop it. When she was within arms reach of Shizune, she felt her newly grown claws slide out into place, and then, her arm lashed out, striking with enough strength to nearly sever Shizune's head. Within seconds, Kakashi was in the same condition. She could feel their blood running over her hands, she knew that they were dead, and there was nothing she could do about it. As more Jounin came running, she began to attack, slash with her claws, and every time she could, she bit those she could. Asuma, Sakura, Sasuke, Neji, Shino. She was killing them all, and she wanted it to stop so much. As she passed by a mirror, she caught her reflection, and was surprised, to see not her, but Naruto. Not the Naruto she had seen imprisoned, but Naruto as a child. She screamed.

Hinata awoke with a start. Looking around, she realized that she was in her room. Rising, she quickly wrapped herself in a robe, opening the door out onto garden porch. As she stepped out, she slid the door shut behind her. Walking across the patio, she stepped down into the garden. Walking into what was commonly referred to as the inner sanctum, a place in the garden surrounded by a maze of carefully cut shrubs. Inside, there was a small pond inhabited by fish, a small area filled with well kept flowers, and a cherry tree. Walking toward the tree, she sat at its base. Looking down into the water of the pond, she picked up a small stone, then, tossed it into the pond. The fish scattered, and the surface of the crystal clear water was disrupted by ripples. As the ripples moved across the surface of the small pond, she was surprised to see a face staring at her, the face of Naruto. With a gasp, she realized that he was actually standing in the garden.

Looking up, she was surprised to see him standing next to a fox. As the wind shifted, her nose was flooded by the smell of the forest and pure strength and power, along with the smell of for and female. The realization hit her like a tone of bricks. The small two tailed fox was female.

Naruto could smell the anger flood Hinata's scent as the wind shifted back to its original course. 'So, she's angry. Time to test how far she's come during the past days, if she is this angry, everything might just be going ahead of schedule.' "Hello Hinata."

Doing her best to suppress her anger she answered back. "Naruto-kun it's good to see you."

Turning his back toward her, the small fox jumped onto his shoulder. Then, wrapping its tails around his neck, it began to nuzzle his throat. He could feel the killer intent coming off of Hinata in waves. The fox that he had brought was and eight tail that had been trying for a few months to get his attention now. It had gotten his attention alright. He instantly saw what it could be used for. And now, he was about to see just how strong Hinata was as well.

He wasn't surprised when the fox was ripped from his shoulder, and thrown across the small garden. Turning his head, he wasn't surprised to see the two vixens growling at each other from across the small area. The power flowing off of Hinata was quite surprising to him. 'She is at least at the level of a six tails, impressive. She must have been incredibly strong already to have reached this level. However, I had better break this up before the eight tails kills her. Can't have that damn vixen throwing a wrench into my plans now can I.'

"Now, now, vixens, there is no need for fighting. Plus, if you were to fight here, the entire strength of the village would come down upon us. And we can't have that now, can we? Eight tails, return to the rest of the pack in the forest."

The once small fox, now in its 5 tailed form and about as big as a small pony, shrunk back to the small form it had been in. Its voice cut through the night air like a knife.

"But Kyuubi-sama, if you stay here, you risk discovery, then you will have to face the village alone." Both Naruto and Hinata could hear the concern in the vixen's voice.

"It matters not, even if they did fight me, they cannot kill me. I fought the greatest Nins of this village nearly two decades ago, and now, they have all begun to decline with age. The third and fourth are gone. Orochimaru is dead, Jiraiya is beginning to decline, and Tsunade has already declined in battle skills. The more powerful Jounin are not enough to kill me, plus, if they try to attack me, first they will evacuate all of the women and children into the mountain safe houses. If that happens, then, I will just have to show that I have not waned in strength over the years."

"What will you do Kyuubi-sama?"

"I will just shatter their pretty mountain and bring it down on the insects hiding within. If that happens, they will send most Nins to site to rescue the villagers, and then I will escape."

"Then I will leave Kyuubi-sama." With that the small kitsune disappeared into the cold night. Hinata was in shock. "Naruto-kun, you wouldn't really do that, would you?"

"What? kill the villagers? No, I would not. But she wouldn't leave unless it told her something." It was true. He did not hate humans, he hated shinobi. The villagers had hated him, but the shinobi had been the ones to perpetuate the hatred toward him. He had deserved a chance. At the time he had had no control over himself, and then he had been given a second chance. He was not Naruto, nor was he the demon half of the fourth. He was both, and he was neither. If he was considered the Kyuubi, then he at least deserved a second chance, if seen as Naruto, he deserved a first chance, and if neither, he deserved a chance as well. If the shinobi had abandoned their hatred, and had just tried to get to know him, the villagers would have followed their example.

Suddenly Hinata walked toward him, taking him by his hand, she lead him back through the maze, and toward her home. She continued to pull him across the porch, slid open the door, and pulled him inside. Sliding the door shut behind them, she walked toward the east wall, then, she slid open the compartment that she stored important items in. Reaching in, she removed the scroll that the fourth had left behind. Sliding the compartment close again, she walked back to Naruto, and handed the scroll to him.

Naruto looked at the scroll, recognizing the seal of the fourth, he opened it. When he read the scroll, he was surprised that Hinata had given it to him. "So my father left a scroll knowing that this just might happen. However, I am sorry to disappoint you Hinata, but I have already entered the otona stage, and have been there for some time. However, I think that it will comfort you to know that it was my memories of you that brought me out of the insanity that I had fallen into."

Pulling out the fang, Hinata lifted it for him to see. "This was meant to change me wasn't it?"

"Yes. I am not ashamed to admit what I have done."

"Naruto-kun, you didn't have to deceive me, I would have willingly submitted to being changed. I would do whatever was needed to make you happy. I would do anything to make you happy."

"I must admit, I did not expect that. With that said, would you please go get these items from the Hyuuga vaults?" Hand her a scroll, she opened it. Writing brushes, ink, various medicinal herbs, and other assorted items. Looking at him, she was surprised at what she was asking.

He answered her silent question, "I planned for every scenario. I knew that you might find out before you had absorbed enough youki to clear your passions from mind. If that had happened, I was prepared to force you to absorb the needed amount. If that had happened, we would have only had a short time to transform you before the entire village was pounding on the door. These things are needed for a ritual that is able to transform a human into a youkai, it is much faster, and it is, however, quite draining. But I cannot always be there to protect you, and the eight tails is already quite jealous of you already. You are already the equivalent of a six tails, but even if you were to draw out the maximum amount of youki out of my fang, it would only get you so far so fast. The only way to ensure your safety is to…"

He was surprised to hear her cut him off, "I will gather the supplies and return. Please, don't leave until I return." With that she disappeared. And so he waited, hours went by, and soon dawn was upon the village. Over the hours, Naruto had begun to drift off, but he was awoken by a sudden knock at the door. He immediately shifted his form, making him look like one of the Hyuuga guards he had see sneak in. Walking over to the door, he slid it open and was greeted by the face of one Inuzuka Kiba.

"Who the fuck, are you buddy, and what the fuck are you doing in Hinata's room?"

Naruto could feel the anger rolling off of the Nin that stood in front of him.

"I am Hyuuga Ryoukan, and I am awaiting Hinata-sama's return." He was rudely shoved aside as Kiba spoke, "Well then, I will wait with you."

Picking up one of his scrolls off of the ground, Naruto used one of Hinata's writing brushes to scribe a quick note for her, than left it sitting in front of the front entrance. Another half hour passed before the door suddenly slid open, Hinata, carrying all of needed supplies, came running in. Upon seeing Kiba and another Hyuuga, she was surprised, and then the lack of Naruto in the room, she began to feel depressed. Setting the supplies down, she confronted the Hyuuga first. "What are you doing here?"

"Hinata-sama, you summoned me and asked me to wait here quite some time ago." Standing, he turned his back to Kiba, and then released the illusion around his eyes. As he eyes became blue with fox like slits for pupils, recognition dawned in her eyes.

"I apologize. I had forgotten that you were here. Now, Kiba, what are you doing here?" Hinata could feel the hair on the back of her neck begin to stand on end. Ever since she had begun to transform, she had had this reaction to his presence. I was almost like she was just waiting for him to strike at her. Most likely it was instinct. However, if Kiba was having a similar reaction, than he would be on edge just waiting for a moment to strike her.

"I came to ask you if you would accept my proposal."

'Proposal, what the hell is he talking about?' Naruto thought.

"Kiba, you are a close friend." With this his face began to brighten. "However, there will never be anything between us." Then it came crashing down with his hopes. Suddenly anger crossed his face. "Why the fuck not!"

"Because I love him Kiba, not you."

"But he is a fucking traitor!" It was then that Naruto decided to cut in.

"Hinata-sama, we must hurry, the ritual is very delicate. And it is quite complex."

Kiba suddenly became confused and decided to voice his confusion. "What ritual?"

Hinata was quick to recover, cutting Naruto off before he could answer. "We are going to attempt a ritual that I hope will allow us to remove the Hyuuga cursed seal."

Kiba's face showed his shock at the statement. And Hinata was shocked at his next question. "Why?" Hinata's shock clearly registered her shock at the statement, and Naruto was so shocked that he almost dropped the illusion on his form. Hinata was quick to respond. "Why shouldn't we. The seal is cruel, and it separates the family. No matter how much the family tries to bridge the gap, the seal is a void that cannot be bridged."

"That's true. However, it keeps the ranks in line. Plus, look at what happened to the Uchiha clan. Without the cursed seal, they were massacred from within."

"Yes, by a head family member. Now, Kiba, there is one thing that I need from you. Years ago the Hyuuga gave something to the Inuzuka to guard and keep safe. I need the armor and weapons made from the body of the Kyuubi."

"If you accept my proposal, I'll give you anything."

"NO! I will not accept your proposal! Now! You will return what I have asked for, or I will retrieve the items by force!"

"Fine, the items will be returned before sunset." And with that, Kiba stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him. As soon as she could no longer sense Kiba, Hinata released a breath that she hadn't realized she was holding. Moments later she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, and she leaned back into Naruto. She knew it was him, his scent was his alone, it radiated the strength that he held, and made him seem almost wild. As his scent radiated, it wrapped around her like a living aura, driving the smell of dog out of her nose. Within two minuets, she was perfectly calm again. With that, he released her. Hinata whimpered as his arms were removed from her waist. She didn't want him to release her. She wanted to rest in his arms forever and never leave them.

Naruto broke the silence. With the question that was on his mind. "Why do you want those weapons and the armor?"

"I don't want it. I want to make sure that it is destroyed. That way no one can tap into your power and use it against you."

"Did you get everything?"

Her answer surprised him, the words shocking him to his core. "Yes koi." The look on her face as she looked at him was one of pure love and devotion. It was something that he had never seen before, and it made him feel complete. For the first time in a long time, he truly felt complete. "Well then, let's get this ritual started."

Taking the supplies from her, he began what needed to be done. First, he took the writing brushes, and the inks. Opening the small containers, he was very pleased. The ink was top quality, as was to be expected of the Hyuuga. There were ten containers in all, two containing black ink, four containing red, two containing blue, and two containing green. Taking a brush, he dipped it into the black ink and began to inscribe the symbols needed. Her curiosity getting the better of her, Hinata spoke up asking one of the many questions on her mind. "Why do you need the different inks?" Naruto did not look up, not out of disrespect, but out of fear of making a mistake and possibly hurting Hinata with the wrong symbols. "Each ink represents something that is needed for this to be completed. Have you ever wondered why shinobi have multiple ink colors, but almost always write in black?"

"Yes I have noticed that."

"The reason for that is because black ink has a connection with the shadows, the birth place of the shinobi arts. Long ago, before a huge disaster, the shinobi had no honor. They moved in the shadows, fought from the shadows, and killed from the shadows. There were some honorable shinobi, but most had no honor to speak of. Than, something happened, no one knows what. Some believe that their god or gods struck humanity down. From what I have found, humanity had created machines that were polluting the world, killing everything in it. After this catastrophe humanity went back to its roots, but still kept some of the technology that we had made. The red ink has a connection with pure power. Because of this, red ink channels power quite well and so it is incredibly important in this ritual. The blue represents the spirit. It will act as a sort of filter, helping to keep me youki at a manageable level, and shield your spirit from being damaged. Without it, your soul would be consumed by the massive amounts of youki and you would become nothing more than a mindless beast. And the green represents nature, which is always a key in permanently transforming anything. Without nature's approval, your body would begin to disintegrate the instant you were changed."

About an hour later, Naruto was not even a tenth of the way complete. Realizing that this would take longer than he had expected, he realized that Hinata would have to attend to her regular duties while he completed the sea

"But…" Naruto cut her off before she could protest.

"I don't like it any more than you do. But it will most likely take me the entire day to complete this, and if you were to suddenly disappear, they might send people to investigate. If that happens, then all that has happened up until now is for not."

She knew that if found, he wouldn't fight here, innocent people would be hurt, and because of that, he would be captured, and most likely killed. She couldn't live with that.

"Ok. I will." As she rose from her seat, Naruto stopped momentarily to toss her something. Catching the small pouch, she opened it, only to find a small orb.

"What is this?"

"I have been preparing that for quite some time. If you eat it, it will allow you to change into what you will become, but only for a short time. Its effects will last two days, three at the most. You can use it if you want to." With that, he returned to his scribing. Taking the orb from the pouch, she looked at it for a moment and than swallowed it. Walking into the small side room that contained her cloths, she could already begin to feel it taking affect.

Walking into her dressing room, she began to slip on her regular clothing. Black from fitting pants, and shirt, than she began to wrap both of her upper arms, including her fingers, than a black jacket, followed her Jounin vest and a face mask that extended to just below her mouth. (If you would like a copy of the picture with her outfit, email me at Walking out of the room, she saw him hard at work. Walking behind him, she leaned down and whispered into his ear. "I'm leaving now."

She could hear him draw in a ragged breath and feel him shake beneath her. "I'll be back as soon as I can." And with that, she was gone. Pausing in his work, he began to laugh, 'Damn, this was too easy. She didn't even know that I was affecting her mind while she was absorbing my chakra. But, then again, that is a very good thing. If it were not for that, it might have been years before she would want to leave. I just hope that smelly dog like moron doesn't come back anytime soon.'

As quickly as she could, Hinata made her way to the central administrative building. As usual, in one month the chuunin examination tournament would begin. Both her team and Kiba's had made it to the finals, which had been expanded since Orochimaru attacked hidden leaf years ago. The tournament would take place over a week long period. This year, there would be 45 competitors. Six from hidden leaf, six from hidden mist, another six from hidden san, three from hidden cloud, nine from hidden rain, six from hidden stone, six from hidden grass, and three from hidden snow. The first day would pit the first ten shinobi against each other. It would go like that until the fifth day, when the last five would be thrown into the mix, each having to battle someone from the fist day of competition. On the sixth day, the twenty finalists would each go through one battle. Than on the final day the ten finalists would fight against one another in the regular tournament that was supposed to take place.

However, during this time, the instructors were to train their students for the upcoming matches. Knowing her team, Hanabi would seek out Neji, Konohamaru Asuma, and Tomo would seek out his sister Tenten. If this was the case, than she would be free to complete a mission today. Hopefully she could clear out her private bank account before the days end so she and Naruto could have some money for the journey ahead of them. However, it seemed that fate was against her that day, as her students intercepted her before she could reach her destination.

"What do you three want?" She asked, genuinely curious.

It was Hanabi who answered with, "We were wondering if you could train us."

"Well, I can't teach any of you anything." At the looks on her face she felt something in her twitch, "But I could arrange a sparing match between you and another team." And with that, all three faces before her lit up. She couldn't help it. Even though she hated all of them, she still cared. After all, they were warriors trying to become strong enough to do what needed to be done. She could respect them for that. Turning on her heal, she was followed closely as she walked to the only place she knew for certain that there would be a team leader that would want a sparing match.

AN: I regret to say this to everyone who is reading this fic, but, I am facing an ugly problem down at the moment. While I feel a connection to this fic, and plan on writing more for it, this was one of my first attempts at writing and is not as good as some of my more current works. Because of this, I will continue this fic, but my latest fic will take the front seat and this will be moved to a back burner to simmer for a while. I will still be writing for it, so dont panic or anything, and if I get enough of out cry for me to make this fic my first priority than I will move this fic back the the front again. well until next time
Oh, yeah, almost forgot, the name of my new fic is called "Faith in the Future", though I don't like the name, so I might change it.
