Chapter 7:

Hinata looked at the house, no the mansion, no the villa; she kept correcting herself; in awe. It was enormous and very lavish. The Hyuga estate was large but very polished, muted in colors and traditions. The theatrical Mount Myoboku Mansion was brightly colored, extravagant and screamed novae rich.

It consisted of several buildings, the central mansion and two flanking large houses on each side. One for guests and or employees and assorted cottages. It had a tennis court, gyms, gardens, a zoo, a haunted house, several pools, grottos and of course several man-made hot springs.

It fit the eccentric Jiraiya Senju. The even more infamous millionaire who made his fortune writing porn and wasted a lot of it chasing ghosts. He was known as the ghost hunting playboy. His reputation preceded him. Scandals and he walked hand in hand.

He was one of Hugh Hefner's best friends and a regular at the Playboy's mansion parties. Hugh Hefner was quoted as saying he hoped his sons were half the man Jiraiya was. He was rumored to have had affairs with most of the starlets and models past and present. It was said he was obsessed with hot springs, peeping and of course the paranormal.

The original mansion was said to be haunted. It had a story of murder and ghosts, therefore nobody wanted it. Jiraiya bought it and turned it into his playland, renaming it after the famous mountain in his novel. Had even filmed his first few nights in the house for one of those paranormal shows. His personal team had allegedly exorcised and cleansed the house.

Men admired his conquest yet ridiculed his obsessions. She knew his reputation from her brothers. Shino admired his obsession with the occult and Kiba, she smiled, well he loved his novels and envied his lifestyle. He had tried to get her to read them, when she accidentally found his stash. She quickly declined, being too embarrassed to chastise him for not hiding his porn.

When her brothers found out she had been to Myoboku Mansion they would be very jealous. She still found it all hard to believe.

Hinata had been very nervous the entire drive. The identified driver, Kakashi Hatake was quiet the entire time, but his mask made him kind of scary. The beautiful lady Kurenai Yuuhi seemed very nice and tried to talk with her but the bluenette's stomach kept doing somersaults. Hinata was too nervous and found it impossible to maintain a conversation.

As they crossed the mansion's gate, her palms started to sweat. She was doing this.

-This is crazy- She took a deep breath.

"Miss Hyuga, we have arrived. Are you getting out of the car?"

She blinked, the nice lady had talked to her again and the man had opened the door

-This is for Naruto-kun—

The young woman took a deep breath, nodded and got out of the car. She was in front of the main three-story mansion. The inside of the mansion was just as extravagant. Very colorful like an exotic garden with lots of statues and paintings of nymphs and beautiful women.

They took her to his office, which looked like a lush landscape from a movie set. There were several wood carved vines on the ceiling and on the walls, which were painted vivid foliage green. There were several plants hanging from the vines and palms in three of the corners. On the corner next to his desk was a large waterfall serenity fountain in the wall with a large terrarium filled with toads in front of it. Contrary to the rest of the house, the paintings here were of exotic lush landscapes. It felt like being in a jungle.

He had a large polished mahogany desk, with a large crystal ball, his computer and several toad statues. He had an exquisite wood carved library with the vines motif full of antique books on one side on the other a minibar with the finest of spirits and a bunch of camera equipment.

The man had a long silver hair tied loosely on a ponytail. He had an impeccable Italian suit and a large Rolex watch with the Kanji for oil engraved in it. He was very tall, fit with a muscular physique. He still looked to be in his prime, despite being in his mid-fifties. He did have a very warm smile, although he had dark circles under his eyes. He stood up quickly and gave her a warm handshake.

"Miss Hyuga, so very nice to meet you." His grip was firm, yet not overbearing. He flipped his hand slightly and bend down to kiss the overturned back of her hand. "I am Jiraiya Senju. The man women love and men envy. The seeker of the unknown. Welcome to Myoboku Mansion, my abode." He quickly let go of her hand as his assistants left.

The bluenette blushed at his gesture. He pulled a chair and asked her to sit, politely waiting for her to do so, before getting behind his desk and sitting down.

"I'm very pleased you decided to come. Thanks."

"You want to help Naruto-kun?"

"Ah, straight to business. It's the Hyuga way after all."

"My family has nothing to do with this." She straightened her upright posture even more at the mention of her family, as if her father was watching.

"I noticed your precarious financial situation during my research."

"I didn't come here to talk about me or the Hyuga."

"We did not." He smiled apologetically. "My apologies. Insatiable curiosity is one of my many vices. Relax please. I did not mean to make you uncomfortable. A whisky? Scotch? Cognac perhaps? I know, I can have some champagne brought in. A little bubbly makes everything better."

"No, thanks. I'm fine right now."

"I guess down to business it is." The older man's glib demeanor changed, and his gaze became penetrating. "I want to help Naruto. I have the money, the influence and the means to do so. My goal is to get him paroled now that he's eligible and legally an adult."

The white-haired man continued. "Towards that end I have amassed a team of experts to continue his treatment and aid in his readjustment to society. I have heard good things about you from my man Yamato. I want you to join our team and help Naruto."

"Why me?"

"You have been a positive influence on him. Meeting you has convinced me, Yamato is correct. Never underestimate the power of a beautiful woman on a man."

"Excuse me." The bluenette gave him, her best imitation of the Hyuga glare.

"I meant no offense, forgive an old man his aging eccentricities."

"You don't strike me as a helpless old man."

"Good call. I'm not." He laughed heartily. "Beauty and brains are a lethal combo. Now if you wore garters and sexier outfits you could rule it all."

"If you will excuse me." The bluenette stood and headed to the door.

"Well done, I really like you." The man cleared his throat and became serious again. "I will get him out, please help me."

The young woman was almost at the door and turned at the sound of him voice without taking another step in any direction. "I don't understand, he's committed, people say he's insane."

"Insanity was a good defense at the time and avoided jail time, but now we have an extra hurdle. A competency hearing as well as a parole hearing. Once we clear them both, he will come to live here, where I will continue his education. The first step is to convince them he is functional and no longer a threat. That is where you come in."

"Me?"

"You. I want you to keep him out of trouble. No fights or pranks. They will not parole him if he's labeled a troublemaker."

"There was an incident at the hospital." The aide mumbled softly.

"I'm aware of it, not a problem."

Hinata's eyes widened at his statement. He wasn't boasting, he believed in his plan. "Doctor Orochimaru will never agree."

The man's smile widened dangerously. "I will take care of Oro, we go back all the way to college. That will not be a problem."

The bluenette swallowed at the man's intensity. She felt the power, the threat behind the smile. Friendly or not this man could be as dangerous as Orochimaru if he decided to. She nodded, and he relaxed, smiling like a goof again.

"I want him to learn how to function in the real world, living here is the first step. I know that look, miss. But the team is serious and top notch. The best money can afford."

The young woman kept staring at the so-called ghost hunting playboy. He was not telling her everything. She was sure. The one trait she shared with her family were her eyes, she could read people very well. He wasn't lying but he wasn't telling her everything.

"Such distrust hurts my feelings." Jiraiya could feel her hesitancy, He needed to convince her. "The team is top notch." A leap of faith, he was after all a better gambler than his ex-wife.

He had learned how to read people, years of trading, investigating and writing. Years of observing people who tried to take advantage of a stupid perverted buffoon. Those that crossed him found out the hard way, how ruthless the silly old pervert could be.

Meeting her however had cemented his opinion. She was trustworthy. He had dealt with charlatans and conmen most of his life, uncovering truth was his way of life. If she lied, he would know and would make her pay. But a leap of faith was needed, and his godson needed her.

He pulled a large file from cabinet and put it on the desk." This is the team, take a look." He pushed the file in her direction. "I think you will find their qualifications extraordinary."

Hinata approached the desk hesitantly and read the names on the file. Her mouth dropped as she read the names, some of which she recognized.

Doctor Inoichi Yamanaka, the best psychiatrist in the land. His reputation, patient success and research had earned him the title of the mind walker. Doctor Ibiki Morino one of the top neuropsychiatrist in the world. Doctor Tsunade Senyu the best doctor in the land. The list went on. Shizune Kato, Tsunade's pharmacologist & physiologist. Miss Chiyo a top holistic medicine practitioner and top herbalist.

"How did you even…"

"A perk of fame and fortune. The rest of the team is just as good. Iruka Umino will be Naruto's tutor. He's the top instructor of the most prestigious boarding school in England. Fitness guru Might Guy for his physical education, Kakashi Hatake, my chief of security will be Naruto's bodyguard. He's former, um, military. Let's just leave it at that. Best in his field. As is the rest of my security team. Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuuhi Sarutobi, Might Guy, Yamato and his son Sai."

Hinata sat speechless. "The nice lady is part of security?"

"Oh yes, a lethal beauty, but she is very nice." His face went from a smirk to a pout in a second. "Sadly, she's madly in love with her husband." He theatrically bent his head, then raised it as his eyes acquired that twinkle again. "But looking is free. Still her skill is unparalleled. She's my assistant."

"They will work tirelessly to help Naruto and avoid any problems. I guarantee you again, they are the best."

"The team is indeed amazing. Um, but why are you telling me?"

"I want you to be part of the team."

Hinata bit her lip.

You will help as his nurse and assistant."

"I'm not a nurse yet. What am I supposed to do? I can't do anything like what they can."

"Indeed, but your role will be different. He trusts you. That is what I need. I need him to trust us and work with us. I think you can help with that. I tried last couple of years but could not get anywhere due to his troublemaking at the Asylum. His uncooperative reports damaged my attempts. Yamato told me how you help him every day, take him food. How he's calmed in the last six months since you work there."

"I just wanted to do something for him. He's so lonely."

"And that is why I want you on the team. Do you want to help him or not?"

"I do. It's just my time will be limited between school and my job. I don't want you or him to get the wrong impression. But I will come here every chance I get."

The pervert chuckled lightly. "I knew you were a good person. My peeping eyes are never wrong. I don't think you understand. I'm offering you a job. Like I said you will be part of the team.

"But I don't have the qualifications and what about a job interview. I mean, I…"

"Consider this your job interview. Does it look like I'm hurting for money? Icha Icha Paradise sells better every day, even on the net. I have twelve tomes and counting. A Tactics spin off series, e-books and colored illustration graphic novels. I'm a classic now, up there with the Kama Sutra. I'm here to stay!" He snickered. "I have the money for whatever I want."

The pervert turned serious again. "You will be well compensated. You will earn more than you're currently making. I guarantee you. And before you say anything else, remember you will be working with a lot of the top practitioners in the land, no, the world. They will know you and your work ethic. Can you say letter of recommendation? Can you imagine what a letter of recommendation from any one of them or all would do to any future school or job applications?"

The bluenette was stunned speechless. Everything he said was right and she got to help Naruto. –It's like a dream. A wonderful dream. Wait. Dreams are illusions that are too good to be true. What's his angle?-

Jiraiya saw the young woman's behavior change. Her face conveyed her emotions too well. She had been excited and hopeful a minute ago. Now she was doubtful and fidgeting nervously in the chair. He could feel her internal struggle. She looked at him.

"That would be amazing, and the offer is very tempting. Uhm. Can I ask you why you want to help Naruto-kun? I mean you're very generous but why do you want to help him?"

"Naruto's father was like a son to me. One of my finest students, his wife was quite a woman too. They were so in love, they were terrible easy to tease." The older man's face was transformed by a kind smile and his eyes shone while he reminisced.

"You knew them." Hinata whispered, stunned by the revelation, as moisture blurred her vision. She looked down. -Naruto-kun-

"They really were amazing people." The older man continued reminiscing, encouraged by her reaction, wanting to convince her to work with them. "They worked very well together. Until Kushina was pregnant. Then when Naruto was born, they named me his godfather. I was so happy."

He realized his mistake, the moment he said it. She did not move, frozen on the spot her face downward and her eyes covered by her hair. The old man did not want her getting any ideas, he would never be blackmailed.

"You're his godfather."

"Actually, that's confidential."

"You're his godfather." She stood, closed her hands into fists that started to shake by her side.

"I will deny it, I assure you there is no paper trail."

"YOU ARE HIS GODFATHER!" The small woman looked up as her shaking intensified. Tears leaked from her eyes and he felt like a beam shot straight to his heart. "How dare you! You left him alone all this time. Not even a visit, not even a letter. Do you know how lonely he is? Why? How could you?"

The white-haired man felt the weight of his years as he looked at the small woman. "The story of my life. I get the small stuff right but fumble the big things. I have taken care of things behind the scenes."

"Behind the scenes?"

"It's complicated."

"A letter, a stupid letter. How complicated is that! That's all it would have taken. He would have treasured it." Tears trailed down her face and would not stop. "He recently told me, he doesn't even have pictures of his parents. A piece of paper, we take for granted. A letter would have made him so happy."

"I had reasons, things that are still… anyway I made decisions. Good and bad. I… It's true what they say about hindsight. But it's done. I can't change it. I want to fix it. That's all I can offer. I swear on my work or whatever you want me to. I want to help. It might be late for me, but not for him. Not for you if you truly want to help."

He sighed looking older than when Hinata walked in. "It doesn't matter what you think of me. Or even what Naruto thinks of me. He can hate me. I did what I felt best at the time. This is his best opportunity for freedom. What say you? Will you join us. Will you help."

The bluenette studied him for a bit, he appeared earnest and contrite; the money was good. But it all came back to Naruto. She would have worked with Orochimaru to help him. This was a much better opportunity for him and Jiraiya-san seemed more trustworthy. Naruto needed someone on his side no matter what. She would always be on his side even if Jiraiya-san was not.

"I accept."

"Thank you, child. Thanks for your limited trust, I will earn it. We will get him out."

-NH-

The light filtered through the barred windows warming his face. He lazily opened them only to close them quickly, wanting to prolong the languid peace that still covered his body. Peace. He was still holding onto his book when he woke up and he did not want to move, for he felt at peace and that was rare.

His dream had been peaceful, happy even, no nightmares. He saw his mom and dad smiling. He could still feel his mother's hand softly ruffling his hair, it had been so long since he could remember something that nice. It was all thanks to her. Hinata-chan, his angel.

He smiled again and slowly sat, then stretched, he had to get up and face the world. He hid like a coward long enough. No more hiding. He promised to protect her smile and he did not go back on his word.

-I Should apologize to B too— He had not meant to make him worried.

The blond yawned loudly before finally getting up, he washed his teeth before munching on some more of his treats. He took a last glance at his pictures before hiding his precious photo book and the remaining treats in the farthest part of his drawer then covered it with some underwear just in case.

-Better safe than sorry. I need to get some frames to hang a couple of the pictures on the walls—

Not Hinata-chan's picture that was for him. He quickly got dressed and stood at the door. He opened it and took a step out.

-One step at a time—

He went to find B at the gym, since he had slept through breakfast.

"Repent now! Expunge the sin with your own hands. It's not too late."

-Shit!- The blond jumped in surprise at the voice. Coming from one of the many corridors was the Eradicator.

His heart was still racing, and he took a steadying breath. "Didn't see you there."

"You're still in time…remove the stain."

"Okaaay" The blond checked his clothes quickly. "I will take it to the laundry, excuse me."

"I cleansed my family's sin, now you must cleanse your own. The fate of the world is at stake. My sacrifice was not enough. It's your turn."

"Not interested in whatever your selling, ok." The blond maneuvered around the other man and kept walking briskly.

-I thought he was creepy when he was silent and staring. Damn!-

The Eradicator started shouting. "If your right eye offends thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. And if thy right hand offends thee, cut it out and cast i from thee."

The blond could hear him clearly and felt the voice's anger.

-You tell that nutter to stay away from me or I will make him happy by cutting his eyes and limbs off. Slowly and painfully. Fanatical bastard—

"I cast my sinful family, you cast yours. But it wasn't enough. Ha, ha, ha, ha. It's never enough, a bigger sacrifice is needed. Cast thyself! Don't let the evil spread and consume the world. Cast thyself! Purge yourself from this hellish world! Ha, ha, ha."

He ran the rest of the way to Bee's gym, goosebumps all over. He took a deep breath and shook the goosebumps off then went in, quickly spotting the wrestler at the weights.

"Hi!"

"Is that all you gotta say, kid?"

"Sorry, B. I didn't mean to worry you. Hinata-chan told me."

The muscled man crossed his arms and looked at the fidgeting kid. When he was sure enough time had passed, he got close and whacked him on the top of his head.

"oowwch"

"That's what happens when you mess with the B, da fool! Don't make me worried again."

"Yes, I won't. I promise. I'm here for more training." The blond rubbed his head. "That hurt, you know."

"Good. You worried your little lady a lot, da fool."

"I know. It won't happen again. I promise." He kept rubbing his head as he realized what B said and turned beet red. "Ugh, ah, uhm, wait, wait, wait." He cleared his throat. "She's not my little lady. I mean, she's a lady and she's little. But she's not my anything."

A devilish grin appeared on Bee's face. "Whatever, you say, da fool. Whatever."

The blond continued to sputter as Bee snickers turned into deep chortles.

A bright red blond hit the muscleman's shoulder to no avail. "Shut up! Are we going to practice or not?"

"Ha, ha, yes, ha, ha, ha, indeed, ha, ha,"

"Stop that!"

"What?"

"That!"

"Ha, ha, ha. Let's go. Ha, ha, ha."

-NH-

Mrs. Sarutobi and her husband Asuma drove Hinata back to the University in silence. She stared out the window, as she kept absorbing all the new information.

"Are you getting out? I thought you said you wanted to return to the university." The lady kindly smiled at her.

The bluenette blinked and looked around, realizing she was indeed at school.

"Yes." She bowed slightly as she had been taught. "Thanks. I will contact Jiraiya-san shortly."

She turned to school and hurried inside. She missed her afternoon classes but still needed to meet with her brothers. She was still so distracted by the surprising revelations that she did not see the platinum haired man approaching until it was too late and they almost collided.

"My dearest, I finally have a chance to speak with you."

-NH-

Sai observed the young man's approach hidden from a prudent distance as usual. He noticed the Hyuuga's posture stiffen. The man had a gift and was smiling, but the Hyuga's body language was in distinct contrast to his peaceful countenance. The painter decided to observe closer.

-NH-

The sickeningly sweet voice made the hair on the back of her neck stand up and brought Hinata out of her reverie with a jolt.

-It can't be!— The voice transported her to that fateful meeting, the omiai and its aftermath.

She felt a chill down her spine and paled as she looked up into those icy light blue eyes, that made her feel like a traded good.

"You're so mean to me. Always leaving me behind." The man pouted.

"How? What are you doing here?"

"I know your games by now, I brought you a gift." The man slowly and gracefully pulled a square slender box from behind his back. "Here."

The bluenette did not even glance at the box as she straighten as tall as possible. "No, thanks. Why are you here?"

"Why, I'm here to see my betrothed."

"We are not betrothed. My father arranged an omiai and it was declined."

"Always playing hard to get."

"I'm not playing. I'm not interested."

"Look, It's a matching tanzanite, apatite pendant and bracelet set. It's very expensive and almost as beautiful as you."

"I don't want it."

"Purple and sky blue. It's us."

"No, thanks."

The man looked hurt, lost even but she knew that trap all too well. Still she changed her tone slightly.

"Save it for a girl who truly loves you. But that's not me."

"Why do you hurt me this way? Why are you so cold?"

"I don't want to hurt you, but I don't feel that way about you. And I'm definitely not going to marry you."

"Always so selfish, but so beautiful. My princess. We would be perfect together. Even your father thought so, that's why he set us up. Our back grounds, our empire's combined, we could rule the world."

"I'm no longer Hyuga, and I don't want to rule the world."

"You will be my queen."

"I don't want to be a queen, I'm not fit for it."

"I disagree, my love. I can give you anything you desire."

"I don't want anything, except for you to leave me alone."

"As cruel and shortsighted as usual. I will take care of you."

Hinata sighed at his obstinacy. "I don't need or want you to take care of me."

"You would look magnificent by my side."

"That is not me. I'm simple and boring."

"How can you reject our destiny. We were meant to be."

"Toneri listen! There is no us."

"Yes, there is! It's those rejects fault. They are beneath you, simple trash." He hissed.

"DON'T you DARE speak about my BROTHERS that way."

The platinum haired man was slightly taken aback by the vehemence of her response yet giving up was not the Otsutsuki's way. Besides only someone of her lineage, the Byakugan Enterprises princess, was good enough for him. She would learn her place later. Now was the time to woo. "They have poisoned your mind against me."

"They have nothing to do with this, why can't you understand? Aren't you listening."

"There's nothing to understand. True love always wins in the end. It's a decree from the heavens. You will see it my way."

"You need to stop. There is no decree. I don't love you. I will not marry you."

"Soon, you just need to see the light." He took a step forward, invading her personal space.

"Leave now!" Her nerves were getting worse, but she could not back down. She remembered and copied the Hyuga glare. "If you do not leave, I will scream at the top of my lungs and make a scene. A huge scene, they will all see you. I doubt your family would be pleased with the scandal."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Try me. I'm tired of your games." She stood still, looking him in the eye.

He took a step back and she felt she could breathe again but did not move an inch.

"That is the spunk, the spark that turns me on. You shall be mine my dear, your wishes are immaterial. It's all about the lineage. That the only thing that matters. You have the battle, I will have the war. I will see you later."

She waited until she could no longer see him before she turned and walked as fast as she could to the meeting place.

-NH-

By their body language and the quick retreat, Sai figured he needed to let the boss know, in case he needed to interfere in the future.

-NH-

The bluenette sat in a bench in front of the science building waiting for her brothers to come out, her heart still racing and her palms sweaty. She was tired of his constant following. He seemed so innocuous, bland and yet he had always made her nervous. There was something in his eyes. She shivered. She sighed needing to calm herself before the boys arrived and dreading having to tell them Otsutsuki had appeared again.

Kiba came running down the stairs, tagged Shino who was waiting for him at the bottom and kept going.

"Last one to meet Hinata, will clean the dishes!"

"Cheater, why because you're already running."

"You snooze, you los…"

Shino caught up and was about to ask why Kiba stopped in the middle of the road, when he saw Hinata pale and hugging herself unconsciously. She had not even noticed them. They frowned at each other and got close.

The bluenette heard them, looked up and tried to smile. The frown on their faces let her know, she failed in her attempt.

"What's up?"

Shino elbowed his tattooed brother. "Did something happen?"

"I.. It's nothing."

"Bull!" The dog lover crossed his arms as his frown grew.

The bug lover sighed and stood in front of her. "Are we not brothers? Your silence bothers me and insults our bond. I thought you trusted us."

"I trust you! I didn't want to bother you, that's all. "

"I thought we were past this…"

"Shit."

The pearl eyed girl felt the worry and hurt in Kiba's expressive brown eyes and in Shino's voice tone. "I'm sorry." She quickly stood up, stood between them and gave each a one armed hugged. "I wasn't thinking."

"We forgive you." The quiet boy admitted.

"Now spill." The loud one insisted.

The girl looked down and mumbled. "Toneri showed up in campus with a gift."

"WHAT! Where is that mother…"

"Kiba, while I share the sentiment that is not productive."

"I'll show you productive once I find his sorry ass!"

"Agreed, I shall accompany you. Still not helpful at this time."

"Agh!" The brown eyed boy mumbled a series of expletives that would have put a sailor to shame, before settling down.

"What happened?"

The long-haired girl sighed, they would not let go and if she was honest neither would she if they were the ones with problems. "Let's head home. I'll tell you on the way. Okay?"

-NH-

A svelte blonde woman with patient clothes and bright blood red colored lips and nails watched Naruto and B enter the dining room. Blue beads covered her patient id bracelet.

Naruto ran to lunch with B since Hinata-chan was coming late today. They finished the nondescript food and B went to take the trays when he saw a crimson lipped woman approach with a weird smile. She stood next to him and her smiled grew.

"Can I seat here hot stuff."

"Huh." He stared in surprise before answering. "Sure, sit wherever you want."

"I heard what you did, I'm impressed." The woman sat to close for comfort and propped her elbow on the table, resting her chin on her hand. She leaned forward her face inches away from Naruto and he leaned back.

"I'm waiting for B."

"I wouldn't mind playing with muscle man either." The woman shrugged. "Hottie" She kept coming closer, her smile predatory. He turned his face and felt her breath hot on his ear. "I only play with strong men."

He leaned all the way back and fell out the chair. He heard the others laughter as his face burned in embarrassment. "I gotta go." He scrambled up in a second and went after Bee.

"Tsk." The blonde woman licked her fingers in anticipation, her predatory smile grew while looking at her new quarry. "Soon."

-NH-

Naruto almost ran towards B, that was too weird. She never talked to him before and it made the hair at the back of his neck stand up.

-That's because she considered you weak before, dumbass. But don't worry, I can give her a demonstration of power if that's what she needs—

-Not talking to you—

-Whatever if she wasn't such a psycho, I could play nice for a while, but she needs to be put in her place. I'm the top predator here. She might take the sand freak, but that's it—

"B, I'm ready for the next round."

-When is sweet thing coming back, I want a back rub—

"Shut up!"

-I thought you weren't talking to me—

-Don't talk about her—The blond looked down. "Sorry Bee, you know I wasn't talking to you."

"It's ok, da fool. Be prepared during practice, da fool."

They turned to go back to the gym when Dr. Orochimaru approached.

"Ah, it's good to see you out and about."

The blond felt all the muscles in his body tense up. He could hear the growl in the back of his head that made his head throb. His breathing quickened as his vision started to turn red, until a pain in his shoulder snapped him out of the spell.

"WHAT!"

He turned and saw B's hand on his shoulder, after punching him there. He sent the older man a grateful look and took a deep breath.

"Good afternoon, doctor." The blond saluted.

"Manners. I'm impressed. Nice change if a bit late for some of the employees."

"How are they? I haven't seen them."

"Recuperating. They will be on long term leave. Regardless of your action they will be back. Eventually."

"Hey, doc da fool."

"As much as I appreciate your brother's contributions this is a private doctor-patient matter. You have no jurisdiction here. Remember that. What he did was unconscionable, most would say horrifying, and will surely add time to your stay. The least you could do is cooperate with our petitions and continue your treatment."

The blond tensed again as the doctor continued.

"Team Taka is in charge for the time being. As is Dr. Yakushi who still wants to work with you, such a dedicated young man. All things considered I have decided to add Miss Hyuga to your team. I will allow her to assist you, but I expect better behavior and some cooperation."

Naruto looked up in disbelief. "Thank you, Doctor Orochimaru."

"NO more fights. Understood. The privileges given can be taken away. I want this to be a new phase in our treatment. A new phase in our medical affiliation."

"Mhm." The blond nodded.

The doctor turned and waved. "Good afternoon. She should be here by 3PM."

"Da fool is plotting something."

The blond almost jumped in excitement. "I don't care, Hinata-chan can stay!" He mumbled "with me." He looked at B again. "Let's go, I need to train more! I don't want to cause her any more trouble."

B laughed. "No mercy then, da fool."

-NH-

Akamaru jumped in greetings when his owner and friends came through the door, then whined slightly as Kiba slammed the door. Hinata quickly went to the kitchen as the boys sat in the sofa.

"Sorry boy I'm in a pissed off mood." The tattooed boy rubbed his companions head as the huge dog put his head on Kiba's lap with a whine. "Dammit boy, you know I can't stay pissed off when you act like that." He sighed in defeat and started rubbing and scratching the ears to the dog's content. "Good boy, good boy."

"Kiba, I agree with you but you're only upsetting Hinata."

"Dammit, he already upset her! I won't let him get away with this shit! This is getting ridiculous."

"Again, agreed."

"Piece of shit!"

"Kiba, I texted Shika on the way and requested info on him."

"Can't wait." Kiba punched his left palm with his right fist, as Hinata reentered the living room with some tea.

"Woof, woof!"

"You betcha boy, your part of the team."

"Kiba please don't do anything reckless."

"Come on, Hinata. This is ridiculous. How many times do you have to say no."

"Hinata, this is stalking. You should go to the police and file a complaint. Get a restraining order. We will support you and be your witnesses."

"He hasn't done anything violent. Unwanted gifts aren't dangerous."

"I disagree. Why? Because making you change your phone several times from constant calling and following you around are. It shows obsessive behavior."

"Shino, it will make everything worse. He's just upset because no one has said no to him. It will pass."

"Because ignoring and running from the asshole, has worked so well."

"Kiba, it will cause a scandal. I don't want to bring trouble to the Hyuga. Or the Otsutsuki."

"He just needs a beating."

"Kiba please."

"This is bullshit!"

"Kiba please. I don't want to have to worry about you two. Please. He has money, resources we don't have. I'm sure it will pass."

"If this continues, we will take care of it. One way or another."

"It will pass." It had to. "Oh, I had great news. You will not believe where I was! I got another job offer. It pays more and will let me be in contact with top physicians of the country."

"Really?"

"Where at?"

"Mount Myoboku Mansion!"

"WHAT!" In unison.

"Yes, I met Jiraiya-san."

"The pervert!" "The ghost hunting playboy!"

"Mhm."

"Please, explain."

Hinata laughed and let them know about her meeting with Jiraiya. She excluded Naruto's identity and jiraiya's connection to him. She made them forget about their anger with stories of the infamous state.

-NH-

The practice with Bee had been exhausting, but he still felt in good spirits.

-Hinata-chan will be here soon—

The tall blond grabbed a bottle of water and sat in one of the benches in front of the hospital. Hinata-chan should be here any minute. It was late and there would be no lunch in their spot, so he stayed close to the hospital.

-The good doctor is setting you up again, dumbass—

The young man looked to the sky and the clouds.

-Don't ignore me. It's the Nanami thing again. Don't fall for it—

-Shut up, monster—

-Oh pot, this is the kettle, are you calling me black again? I remember Mr. Pot breaking several orderlies. Quite nicely. Thumbs up buddy—

-You wanted to break them monster and don't talk about Hinata-chan—

-They deserved it. I tried to warn you. Don't blame me when it ends up like the Nanami traitor. Oh, great here comes the hoe again—

-What?—

"Hi! Is this seat taken?"

Naruto felt a hot breath in his ear and jumped in his seat. He looked at the same woman from earlier. She had long straight blonde hair, very long nail painted in the same crimson as her lips and the darkest brown eyes that appeared black.

He shook his head quickly.

"Thanks for the invite."

"I didn't…"

"I'm so tired and this is so cozy." She leaned in and ran her fingers over his arms.

The young man kept leaning as back as he could without falling back. "No, it's not." As he broke in a cold sweat.

"Shame." She pouted her crimson lips. "I think it's just right." Then started to lightly scrape her nails over his thigh.

Thud.

The blond jumped so far, he lost balance and found himself flat on his back in the floor.

"Oh, hottie, let me help you." She kneeled to his left and leaned over his prone form.

"Uhm." As he tried to clear his head he felt a weight on his chest and tried to twist away.

"Scrambling away? How unseemly."

"Get off me!"

"Did you really break all those orderlies?"

"What?" He did not want to shove the woman. Real men did not hurt women. He squirmed trying to get up but felt something soft on his chest as he heard Kyubi laugh.

-Twice boy! She's a dangerous hoe but those are boobs, not like sweet thing but still-

"How badly did they bleed? Was it as red as my nails? Did they scream and beg for mercy?"

"Get off!"

"You don't seem as strong as they said. Come on show it to me, it's no fun otherwise."

"No"

"Giving up so easy? Where's the fun in that? Let's tussle."

"I don't give up."

"Better. The stronger they are the harder they fall. Have you heard that. It's true but more importantly FUN." She bit her bottom lip as she leaned ever closer. "I like it when they struggle, the harder the struggle, the more they scream, the more fun it is."

Naruto felt the Kyubi rumbling and trying to take control when the weight was off his chest.

"Naruto-kun are you ok?"

"Hinata-chan!" Naruto looked to his right and saw his angel offering a hand which he quickly took and stood up.

The bluenette had reacted when she saw the woman over Naruto. Adrenaline high, her pulse still ringing in her ears. She turned and studied the woman, finally recognizing her.

"How rude. Shoving someone in the middle of a private moment."

"Yugito Nii, you know better that to harass the other male patients."

"No one comes between me and mine. Bitch."

"He's not yours!"

-Oh, shit's about to get good!-

"Don't talk to Hinata-chan like that!"

-Shut up brat! I wanna see-

"It's ok, Naruto-kun. Don't worry." The bluenette reassured him.

-Oh, come on! Talk is for chumps! Fight! Tear your clothes off—

"I will notify Dr. Orochimaru, you know you're not supposed to be aggressive with other patients."

"I wasn't aggressive with hottie here, I was trying to help him up. You aggressively shoved me to the floor, bitch." The blond looked at the orderly with disdain. "We were having a pleasant conversation until you showed up."

The bluenette glared back and crossed her arms.

-That's more like it. I want popcorn! A water hose and some mud—

The bluenette took a deep breath and turned to Naruto. "Let's go Naruto-kun, let's not waste our time here." They started to walk away.

"Bye hottie! I'll be looking for you!"

They could not help turning slightly and see her blowing Naruto a kiss. Naruto quickly turned forward embarrassed as Hinata took his hand.

"Stay away from him!" The bluenette marched them away without saying another word.

Once out of sight she turned to Naruto. "Stay away from her. She's trouble." The bluenette faced forward and continued to drag him along. Naruto tried to enjoy her holding his hand but there was too much tension.

"Are you mad?"

"No."

"Sure?"

"Why would I be mad?"

The blond shrugged, and they continued in awkward silence. The bluenette took them to their spot where they finally stopped. Naruto looked down, something was wrong, and he did not like it. He wasn't sure what he did but it did not matter.

"Sorry!"

"For what?"

He shrugged.

The bluenette looked at his sad expression and felt bad. She had been in autopilot since she saw that …woman all over Naruto.

"Don't be mad. Please. I'll fix whatever."

"Naruto-kun, no. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have dragged you here."

"It's ok. I just don't want you mad at me."

"I'm not mad, I promise."

The blond tilted his head in confusion.

"I was not mad at you." She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I was worried. Just be careful around her, ok? Do you know who she is?"

"Not really. I've seen her before, but I never talked to her before. I didn't want to talk to her. I swear! She wanted to talk to me."

"It's ok, Naruto. Just be careful. That's Yugito Nii also known as Catwoman, a true femme fatale. Men fear her for good reason. Paper Rose killed indiscriminately. Black Widow poisoned her husbands then fed them to her bugs."

"Catwoman is the stuff of men's nightmares. She seduces men before killing them. She plays the dominatrix and once her victim is trussed up, she slices them up, starting with the manhood."

"Gulp."

-Don't worry about psycho bitch. She ain't got nothing on me—

"I just want you to be careful and try to avoid trouble."

"I will!"

-Pfft!-

"Naruto-kun, let's forget about that. It's important you stay out of trouble."

"I don't want trouble."

"I know." Hinata looked him in the eyes. "We need to talk, out here away from prying eyes."

AND CUT!

More players enter the scene as the plot continues to stir. I will say this is just the first arc. Do you like Mt. Myoboku Mansion? The ghost hunting playboy? Lol. Do you like the 'team'?

Please keep reading and Please review! Let me know what you think! As always thanks!

OMAKE- Blame Discord again.

Naruto ate lunch with a feeling of dread. If he had spider senses, they would have been tinging. Some evil was observing. He looked around and saw the blonde looking at him like he was a piece of cake.

He looked around for B but the muscleman had already hightailed it out of there.

-Coward!—

Yugito started licking her lips as she approached, and he started looking for the nearest exit. This was not good. He was waiting for his girl, definitely not good.

He heard the Kyubi laughing in the background as he looked around for an exit.

"Too late! Hot cheeks."

He jumped. "Aaargh!"

"Surprise! Let's have fun."

"No, thanks."

"I just want to make you bleeeed!"

"Uhm, I have a girl."

"I'm a girl."

"Not you."

"Ahh, I wanna have fun." She started rubbing his arms and legs.

SPLAT!

Naruto tried to jump backwards, tripped and fell on his butt. Yugito jumped on him and started rubbing his chest.

"Hottie, let's play!" She leaned down and tried to kiss him, as Naruto squirmed and pushed her.

When a loud booming voice sounded and Yugito flew through the air.

"BEGONE THOT!"

Yugito landed unable to move. She looked at her enemy and six out of her seven lives ran whimpering away.

"Keep your paws off my Naruto-kun, thot!"

The power of love brought a mystical power from another dimension. The veins around her eyes bulged and Hinata's eyes shone with the power of the Byakugan princess as her hands glowed in the shape of lions.

Life number seven, thought –Screw this!— and Yugito ran away as fast as possible.

Hinata deactivated the power, when she felt two arms around her.

"That was the hottest thing ever! My hero!"

"Um, um, I just wanted to save you."

"You did, very hotly. Am I really your Naruto-kun."

"Um, if you want to?"

"Oh, I want to! Let's go."

With that Naruto ran his left hand over her shoulders as she bent her left elbow and held his hand. Hinata ran her right arm behind his waist as he grabbed and held her hand with his right hand for a very depraved double hand holding walk and date.

The Kyubi screamed while slapping his face with both hands, -Aaagh! My eyes, my eyes! Such depraved DEPRAVITY! DEPRAVITY!—
