(Previously on "Demon's Last Decision." Hinata fainted from Naruto's apology. Tsunade left the room and Naruto stayed. She used one of the ANBU to collect the shinobi council. All but Hiashi show up. They learn of the promise and Danzo proposes that he writes a list of orders for Hinata to give Naruto. As he wrote these, Shino appeared in Hinata's room. He and Naruto talked for a bit before Tsunade showed up. She told Naruto to leave the room and woke Hinata up. She asked the Hyuga to read the commands out. When Naruto reentered, she did so. The commands said that he must ignore unwilling commands, cause no influence, attack in only his defense or the defense of others, and obey commands from anyone in the shinobi council. Tsunade tests the final one by having Naruto stand on his head. She leaves and is followed by Shino, but not after a little talk with Naruto. Hinata and a disguised Naruto left the hospital and went to a clothing store. At this time, Danzo is thinking about his plan to take over Konoha. When Naruto and Hinata arrive, they meet up with a red headed teen that is familiar with Hinata. She manages to convince Hinata to have Naruto try on different outfits, including a bikini. Hinata faints and the teen takes a picture. They eventually leave and head towards the Hyuga compound. Hinata suggest that Naruto stay outside the compound. Two branch family members appear and lead her towards the building where the curse seal is applied. She makes little effort to resist but is saved by Naruto. Hiashi attacks him but is stopped. The clan head orders Naruto to release him. Naruto says no."

Chapter three came out October the 28th. It is now November the 28th. That is a total of thirty one days. I truly apologize for that. A constant stream of English papers and keeping up with another story are to blame for that. This chapter is also small too. I did warn you readers about this beforehand though. Don't get too mad. PS: Their might be a few typos or not. I don't know.

A lot of people were apparently confused by the previous chapter. That means that I did what I set out to do. It is truly amazing how many of you failed to see what was on the surface, let alone what was under the underneath. Some of you were able to figure it out though. I may have lost some readers in the process, but it is their loss. Let the story continue.

"Defending Decision"

Hiashi glared at Naruto for his refusal. "I was told that this demon would have to obey any command I give him. Did they lie to me?" He was kept in the dark about Hinata's connection.

Naruto smirked. "Don't hurt your inferior brain with thinking too much. You will receive your answers soon." He raised his free hand where all could see. "I promise that as long as she or I shall live, Hinata will not wear the Caged Bird Seal."

Hinata took notice of the red fluid dripping from Naruto's palm. "Another blood oath?"

Naruto chose this time to release his three captives. "I suggest that you leave us alone." He let Hinata support herself with her own feet. She walked forward while looking at Naruto.

Hiashi was seething inside. "What is the meaning of this? Why does this demon interfere with the matters of my clan?" He looked at the teen pair and noticed that Naruto's hands were at his sides and his tails were behind him. Because she walked forward, Hinata was close. "If I can not brand her, then I will kill her."

Hiashi lashed out towards Hinata's heart only to be stopped by Naruto's lightning fast tail. More tails came forward and lifted a completely restrained Hiashi off the ground. His arms were spread out and his legs held together. "You know Hiashi; one Konoha shinobi attacking another Konoha shinobi with the intent to kill could be called treason."

Hinata's eyes widened. "There is no mistaking that." She could see his clawed hand up with the fingers extended. "THINK! Take-me-to-my-room."

Naruto twitched the tails he had around Hiashi's arms. This produced a crack that was audible to him alone. Before Hiashi could even voice the sudden pain, Naruto grabbed Hinata and took off. Using his smell, he found the room that smelled strongest of her scent. He opened the door and set the dizzy Hinata down. "I believe that this is your room."

From the recent events and the sudden and very fast movement, Hinata fainted. Naruto of course caught her. He walked over to the Hyuga's bed and set her down on it. He then sat down beside her bed and waited. About seven minutes later, he could hear that she was starting to rouse. He could also hear someone else coming for the room very silently. Hinata sat up and looked towards the widow of her room. She looked in the other direction and jumped back in surprise. "N-N-Naruto-san."

The door opened, revealing an ANBU. "Naruto-san, you are to come with me."

Naruto glared at him. "I will only go if Hinata-dono comes with me."

The ANBU turned towards the girl on the bed and then back towards Naruto. "Agreed."

Naruto crouched down with his back to the bed. "Climb on Hinata-dono." She blushed a bit but did so anyways.

Naruto followed the ANBU all the way back to the Hokage's tower. The disguised shinobi led Naruto to a large double door. "This is as far as Hinata-san can go."

Naruto growled. "I-it's okay N-Naruto-san. I'll w-wait here." She slipped out of Naruto's grasp to stand on her own feet.

Naruto turned his head back and gave Hinata a serious gaze. "Stay close Hinata-dono." She nodded. Naruto turned away and walked in through the door, which then closed. "Well if it isn't the shinobi council. Where do I owe the honor?" The sarcasm was just dripping off of that question.

Homura slammed his fist on the table to his front. "Silence demon, how dare you speak to the shinobi council with such disrespect?"

"Hmm, probably because I hold no respect for the shinobi council."

"I SAID SILENCE DEMON!"

"Oh, you were serious about that. It is so hard for me to take the elderly seriously. They can be pretty senile sometimes.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Everyone looked at Tsunade. Most did so seriously. Two did so lazily; Naruto and Shikaku. "We are here to discus how Naruto was able to defy a direct order from Hiashi-san, who is now in the hospital with broken arms." She looked down at the carrot-top seriously. "You were able to break not one, but two of the commands issued upon you. Would you care to explain?"

Naruto smirked. "In all honesty, I want to tell you. I am sure you remember the first command; the one stating that I disregard commands Hinata gives against her will. With the fourth command, she paused and stuttered as if she didn't want it to be carried out."

A few had slightly widened eyes while Danzo was trembling slightly. "Damn, I did not account for this. I made the mistake of thinking that this Hinata would be just as disciplined as any other Hyuga." He smirked to himself with the formation of a new idea. "No matter, there are more ways to achieve my goals." Using one-handed seals, he activated a jutsu that linked him to his number one root agent. "Ichi, I have a task for you. You are to draft a young Hyuga named Hinata for me. You are to look for a kunoichi around thirteen years of age. You should know how to identify a Hyuga. Bring her back as discreetly as possible and restrain her. Make sure that you can't be followed. I have reason to believe that she is in the Hokage's tower. If she is not, search the Hyuga compound." He cut off the connection with his conformation. "It may take time, but if I can turn Hinata into a loyal and emotionless member of root, then my plan will be back on track."

As he schemed, the meeting continued. Tsunade frowned at the revelation. "Damn, that ruins my plan. As soon as Naruto and Hinata settled down at the Hyuga compound, I was going to tell Naruto that should a member of the council try to use him to kill other members, he is to ignore that order and incapacitate the one who gives it to him. In the case of the first command negating the fourth, I expected Naruto to immediately deem anyone who attempts such a thing a traitor and take care of them himself. Now I have to wait for another chance to fish Danzo out. Can you explain how you were able to injure Hiashi-san as much as you did? He is a loyal shinobi of this village. You should have only been able to inflict mild injury. I don't think two broken arms fall under that category."

Naruto chuckled. "It is very simple how I did that. Hiashi has only himself to blame for what I did to him. Before I broke his arms, he attacked Hinata-dono with the intent to kill. That is one Konoha shinobi attacking a loyal member of this village. That can easily be described as treason. I merely did as I was commanded."

"Well, at least you didn't kill him."

"I was about to, but Hinata-dono ordered me to take her to her room. I had to settle for what I did. I suggest you warn him what I told you here so I don't get another chance to kill…." Naruto stopped talking and began to sniff the air a bit. He continued to do so repeatedly with each sniff stronger than the last. Everyone in the room flinched back when they felt a massive amount of killer intent.

Outside the council meeting room, a minute earlier.

Hinata waited on the bench patiently. When she heard footsteps, she noticed an ANBU heading straight for her. The man stopped in front of her. "Hinata-san, you are to come with me."

"N-nani, I-I have to w-wait h-here for N-N-Naruto-san." The ANBU grabbed her by the arm and began to lift her. Before she could say anything, she was knocked unconscious. He hefted her onto his shoulder and left the building without being seen.

Moments later, seven of Naruto's nine tails demolished the doors of the council room. As he walked out, Tsunade ran at him and tried to stop him. Naruto used his tails to slap her away. "It may be light, but he injured me. That could only mean one of two things." She looked around and noticed Hinata's absence. "Just as I thought, he believes that Hinata is in danger. This has Danzo written all over it."

Using his heightened senses, Naruto followed Hinata's scent and the scent of the one that took her. The council members who could see him do this saw only a blur. "Search all you want demon. My Root agent is already too far ahead of you. He has his tracks covered by this point. You will be mine."

Naruto stopped suddenly when he noticed that the scent was cut off. "Damn, I can't follow their scent anymore. He must have used some kind of scent removing agent." He released a roar that terrified many who were within earshot. He then began searching around franticly for any kind of clue that would put him back on the trail.

A few minutes later with Hinata.

Hinata woke up from her unconsciousness. Intense dread claimed her heart when she realized that she was sitting in a chair, bound, gagged, and blindfolded. She couldn't even call up her chakra. She was tied up in a way that makes it impossible for her to do anything. The only thing she could move was her head and shoulders. She heard an emotionless voice speak to her. "Do not struggle Hinata-san. If you try to escape, I will kill you. Danzo-sama has requested that you become a member of Root. You will be striped of all emotion and made loyal to his cause."

The lack of emotion in the man's voice was all the proof she needed to know that he was not bluffing. "No, why me? Why does this have to keep happening to me? First my father, and now this. Will Naruto-san save me this time too?"

"It is best that you give up hope now. I covered all tracks. We could not be followed by even the best hounds."

Here eyes tightened as tears began to soak into her blindfold. "Well, it is a good thing that I am not a ninja hound."

Hinata raised her head at the familiar voice. "He found me."

The Root ANBU did not hesitate to attack the intruder. Naruto quickly immobilized him by holding each limb with a tail and stretching them out to full length. The man quickly went through some one-handed seals. He then spewed forth a jet of flames from behind his mask. All Hinata could hear was the roaring flame that engulfed Naruto. The flames were blown away by a small burst of chakra from Naruto. "Have you forgotten that the Kyūbi is a demon aligned with fire?" After one powerful blow to the sternum, the Root ANBU was unconscious. "Your luck that I want answers or you would be dead right now."

He tossed the man to the floor and walked over to Hinata. With multiple slashes, she was free of all her restraints. As soon as she could see, Hinata jumped out of the chair and latched herself to Naruto. He could feel wetness on his chest where her face was pressed against him. "I … I w-was s… so sc-scared." Naruto placed one hand on the back of her head and the other around her waist. He then wrapped his tails gently around her body. To Hinata, this brought her closer to the only source of solace at the time.

This continued until Naruto heard the sound of many footsteps approaching them. Naruto figured that it was more people from the group the other guy belongs to. He pushed her away a bit, causing her to look up at him. He placed his hands over her eyes and released a gentle yet powerful burst of demonic chakra. This sent her back to unconsciousness. "Technically, I didn't harm her; so I didn't break any rules." The carrot-top gently placed her on the ground. The first person through the door was out cold before he could think. The same went for the other sixteen. "This is too easy. I guess that is what happens when you are the most powerful demon on the planet."

Naruto moved all of the unconscious men to the back of the room and closed the door. He sat beside Hinata and woke her up. When she looked at her surroundings, recent memories came to mind. "W-why are w-we still h-here?"

"You were kidnapped and brought here. Someone must have set this up. He is going to come here to collect you. I am hoping for a chance to catch him. I have some questions to ask him."

"D-don't kill him."

"I never intended to. There is not a single dead person in this room. I will however want answers."

"I-I see. I would like to leave here, but then Naruto-kun might miss his chance and I'm curious too." Hinata's eyes widened in surprise. "Did I just think what that think I thought?" Hinata shook her head side to side a bit then looked at the determined stare Naruto was giving the door. "It is just like the way the old Naruto-kun used to look. Maybe he hasn't changed as much as I thought. Naruto-kun isn't gone. A large part of him is right here." She let herself fall onto his lap and relax. This time, she fell asleep on her own power.

Naruto noticed this but only gave it a passing notice. He focus instantly came upon the door when he heard footsteps approaching it. Naruto removed his brown coat and made a pillow out of it for Hinata's head. He then stood up. He smiled when the person behind the door was completely revealed. "Hello Danzo."

How it that? As usual, I left you all with a lot to think about. I hope this cleared up a lot of confusion as well. That is all.
