A/N: This is a quick chapter that I had to get out of my head so that I could continue my other story, I know that it is super short but I do have plans for this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

The skies overhead were bright and sunny on this day. Excuding all of the makings of what one would consider a beautiful scene, if not for the battle raging below, between two groups of shinobi, it might have been. However, the screams of pain and the smell of blood hung thick in the air, turning this day into much more of a nightmare.

Hinata was not afraid however, because despite the fact that their current opponents were indeed formidable, she had been lucky enough to be paired with the village hero and future hokage. They were put together on a two-man team, to watch each other's backs and stay by each others side's no matter what.

That was a rule that she could certainly follow and there was no doubt in her mind that she could count on him as well.

A scream suddenly pierced the air; Chilling Hinata's blood with its familiarity. Focusing her sight behind herself, she found the source instantly. It was Sakura, her friend and she was close to being attacked. The pink-haired medic froze as a barrage of weapons prepared to rain down upon her.

"Sakura!" Naruto frantically exclaimed; quickly making shadow clones as he took off towards her.

His shadow clones fought and were pretty easily destroyed by the enemies separating Sakura from them. Panic rose in Hinata's chest as the scene before her seemed to play in slow motion. Her heart pounded as she turned to also make her way to them.

However, with sheer perfect timing, Sakura was saved as Lee, the talented taijutsu master leapt powerfully into the air; Grabbing her bridal style he carried her to safety.

Though Naruto went against the shinobi code by leaving Hinata's side at that moment, that thought never crossed her mind. For the always selfless woman's only concern was for the well-being of her comrades. Relief quickly replaced her concern once the blonde reached Sakura and Lee's side and they were out of immediate danger.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for everyone; Hinata herself had not followed the shinobi principles. She had let her guard down and left herself open for attack while in the midst of a battle, a mistake that usually ended fatally for those who made it.

Realizing this, the young kunoichi prepared to correct that mistake, just a moment too late to counter what was coming.

The whisper that greeted her ear from behind, left a warmth across her neck that made her hairs stand on end.

"A shinobi should never let their guard down."

Gathering chakra in her palm, Hinata swung backwards to connect with the man but her actions were halted immediately.

A powerful source of energy encased her body, causing her muscles to painfully contract all at once and forcing out an anguished scream.

Suddenly, her body became limp as the energy, which she could liken to electrocution, ceased and she collapsed into the arms of her attacker.

Her eyelids became heavy and her vision blurred; She softly called out to Naruto as her consciousness began fading. The last thing being seen by her was Naruto's distressed face as he slowly turned towards her. Then the world around her seemed to spin around before darkness fully invaded.

A/N: Naruto :( No, leaving Hinata like that... Sad.
