Naruto: A Demonic Encounter – Chapter One
"Can you see it, Hinata?" Hinata's teammate Shino asked. They were on a mission to infiltrate and take down a group of ninjas who had been spotted bringing multiple cursed items into their base. The team was to get in, take out the group of ninjas, and destroy any cursed items they saw. Right now, they were perched on top of a small cliff, using Hinata's Byakugan to find them.
"Y-Yeah, I think I see the entrance, follow me." Hinata said as she jumped into the trees, her teammates following close behind her. They found the base and hid behind a large rock that was about 30 yards from the entrance. The base was a cave, with an opening just large enough for an average sized adult to walk through.
"Why are we hiding? Come on, let's just run in there and rush them! We can take them, right Akamaru?" Kiba said to his large canine partner.
"Ruff!" Akamaru barked in response.
"I don't think rushing in like fools is a good idea, especially since we don't know how many enemy ninjas there are." Shino said, raising his right hand and released a few bugs into the air. "My scouting bugs will tell me how many are in there roughly, just give them a few moments." The bugs took off into the base and entered with no problem, the team waited patiently for them to return.
"Are you sure those bugs are reliable?" Kiba asked, skeptical about such small insects being used for scouting.
"More reliable than a mutt."
"Don't you talk about Akamaru like that!"
"Ruff! Grrrrr …" Akamaru growled at Shino.
"I wasn't talking about Akamaru." Shino pushed up his glasses slightly and raised his right arm again, the insects had returned and landed on his hands.
"Why you- … ah forget it, what did the bugs say?"
"Y-Yeah, did they see anything, Shino?" Hinata asked in her normal, frail voice.
"This can't be … come on you two, we're going in." Shino said as he jumped from behind the rock and headed into the base.
"I thought you said rushing in would be foolish!? I knew it was a good idea, you're just trying to take the credit, dammit!" Kiba yelled as he and Hinata followed their teammate into the base. However, they were not expecting what they found.
"W-What the hell … how did this happen?" Kiba asked in shock, looking around the base. There were corpses and blood covering the cave walls and floor, multiple body parts were scattered everywhere and blood was pooling out from a few of the corpses still.
"This stench … this happened recently, which means someone beat us here, but who?" If anyone could see Shino's face, he would probably look slightly frightened. Hinata said nothing, but that's because she was too busy shivering and gagging, the smell was extremely strong.
"Ugh, god I can't take this stench… call us when you're done, Akamaru and I are going to wait outside." Kiba said, plugging his nose and running outside with Akamaru.
"Having such sensitive noses must be hard on them …" Hinata said, composing herself.
"Yeah, but for now we must finish our mission." Shino reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a few exploding tags.
"O-Okay, do you want me to wait outside while-"
"Oi, long haired hottie with the huge tits, can you hear me? Grab the purple felt-covered book, we don't wanna get blown up!" Hinata gasped and jumped upon hearing a strange voice in her head, she looked around the cave but only saw Shino, staring at her after she let loose the gasp.
"What's wrong, Hinata? Did you see something?"
"N-No … I heard someone's voice, they said something very … embarrassing to me." Hinata looked around the base, and saw something that caught her eye. There was a chest sitting on a stone that was higher than the other cursed items, as if this one held more value than the others. Hinata walked over to the chest cautiously, hoping nothing would jump out at her.
"Hinata, be careful, it could be a trap." Shino warned her, but Hinata didn't hear him. She reached the chest and slowly flicked up the lock with her finger. The chest flung open and Hinata could see what the voice in her head had mentioned to her. There was a book covered in a purple cloth like material with the words Zennshi Kiel il Arakalada written at the top. Flipping through the pages of the book, Hinata noticed that all of the pages were blank, except for seven "page dividers" that each only had one word on them.
"Sloth, Envy, Lust, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed … Shino, can I take this book back with me? It doesn't look cursed …" Hinata said, holding the book against her chest.
"I don't think that's such a good idea, but if you really want to, then you'll have to get it inspected and approved by Tsunade-sama."
"I-I will …" Hinata said, walking out of the cave with the book in her hand. Shino watched her leave, then planted the explosive tags to set them off and destroy the remainder of the cursed items. Kiba was waiting outside when he noticed Hinata walk out, book in hand.
"Hey Hinata, what's that?" Kiba said, looking down at the book. Akamaru sniffed it and growled.
"I-It's a book I found … I don't know why but it seems … important."
"And you wanna keep it? You know it's supposed to be cursed, right?"
"I'm not cursed, you mangy mutt! Say that shit to my face, I'll rip you apart and hang your intestines on the trees!"
"W-What the hell!? Hinata, did you hear that?!" Kiba asked frantically, looking around him. Hinata and Akamaru just looked at him with a confused expression on their faces.
"Hear … what?"
"I heard a pretty rude voice in my head."
"Y-You heard a voice too …? Although mine wasn't rude …"
"Yeah, weird … this place is giving me the creeps, are you almost done, Shino?" Kiba yelled to his teammate who was just exiting the cave.
"Yes, and I would have been quicker if you had helped me."
"I already told you, the smell was too much for Akamaru and I to handle!"
"Let's just leave, the exploding tags will go off momentarily …" Shino said, Kiba and Hinata nodded and the three friends jumped into the trees, the exploding tags going off just as they left. Clutching the book tightly against her chest, Hinata could feel some kind of strange energy coming from it; not chakra, but something entirely different.
"I hope I made the right decision …"
~Later – At The Hokage's Residence~
"So … how did it go?" Tsunade asked, popping a dango into her mouth off of the skewer it was on.
"We were successful in destroying the cursed items, however … it seems someone arrived slightly earlier than us, and brutally massacred the enemy ninja." Shino said, stepping forward to explain the mission.
"Someone was there before you? How much sooner?"
"The corpses looked fresh, I estimate within the hour. Also …" Shino paused, looking at Hinata who was still clutching the book. "Hinata insisted on bringing back this item that we recovered from the base."
"Hinata, explain yourself if you will." Tsunade said, setting down her food and looking at the shy girl.
"Y-Yes, Hokage-sama … I can't exactly explain it, but I felt something coming from this book. It was inside of a chest that was above the other items, so I thought maybe it was important …" Hinata started shaking slightly, and held the book even tighter against her chest. Tsunade just sighed and looked back up at Hinata.
"I'll trust your judgment and put you in charge of the book. Anything that happens because of it, you will be directly responsible for, understand?"
"Y-Yes, Hokage-sama."
"Alright, good work today you three, dismissed." Tsunade said, and the three ninjas bowed and left the building. Konoha was as lively as ever, there were people talking and trading, and a newer pastry store advertising outside. However, Hinata was unable to concentrate on anything, as she was still thinking about the voice she heard inside of the cave.
"I just don't get it, what the hell was that voice I heard? Whoever it's from, when I find them, I'll pulverize them for calling me a mutt …" Kiba growled, clenching his fists.
"Y-Yeah, I wonder who the voice that I heard came from …?" Hinata said quietly, she was staring down at the book, not looking where she was going, and ended up bumping right into someone. "S-Sorry, I wasn't looking where-"
"Oh, hey Hinata! Did you guys just get back from a mission?" It was Naruto, smiling and looking at the three teenagers, Hinata automatically froze up and blushed intensely.
"Yeah, it was totally boring though, except for some weird voice calling me a mutt." Kiba muttered.
"I like that voice, being honest is a good thing, ahaha!" Naruto laughed, pissing off Kiba and Akamaru who both bit him. "O-Ow ow ow! What are you doing?!"
"We are not mutts!" Kiba growled, Akamaru did the same, then they both let go, leaving clear bite marks on Naruto's skin.
"Mmm … that kid likes to bite, kinky, I think I like him already."
"You would be desperate enough to go for a dog boy, Pride …"
"W-What the hell?! Again?!" Kiba said in shock, frantically looking around again.
"What's wrong with you? Sheez … that hurt you know. Whatever, forget about dog-boy, sorry about running into you, Hinata." Naruto said with a dorky smile while looking into Hinata's eyes.
"I-It … s-sor …" Hinata tried responding, but she couldn't piece together complete sentences.
"Hey, what's that book? It looks weird." Naruto bent down and looked at the book, his faces inches away from where Hinata's chest was, which caused her to become even redder and panic from being so close to Naruto.
"I-It … kyaa~!" Hinata screamed, head-butting Naruto in the back of his head from embarrassment and panic, knocking him to the ground completely unconscious. The people around her thought nothing of it, because they were used to seeing that kind of thing, especially with those two.
"Sheez Hinata, you really got him- whoa, Hinata?!" Kiba yelled as Hinata started swaying back and forth before collapsing to the ground, the book still tightly in her grasp.
"N-Naruto-kun …" Hinata said as she fell unconscious next to Naruto.
"Better tell Neji so he can take her back to her house … she's done it again." Kiba sighed, running off to tell Hinata's cousin about her collapsing, Shino nodded and took her to a safe place on the side of the street where people wouldn't need to worry about stepping on her. A few minutes later, Neji appeared with Kiba, and walked up to Shino who had Hinata sitting under a tree. He noticed Naruto laying in the middle of the road, but decided to not say or ask anything.
"Give her to me, I'll take her back." Neji said to Shino, who nodded and placed Hinata in his arms. Neji thanked Shino and Kiba for notifying him and keeping her safe, then disappeared to return Hinata to the Hyũga residence.
"Hmm … your next possible client has a cute family member, Lust; do you think he's single?"
"What the- you were just going on about the dog boy! I'd tell you to put it away, but you don't fucking have one!" Neji perked up from the sudden voices in his head, and looked around to see if someone was playing tricks on him, but he couldn't feel any kind of chakra being used on him.
"Just what was that …?" Neji said quietly as he approached the Hyũga household. Hinata's father, Hiashi, came outside upon seeing Hinata in Neji's arms.
"What happened? Is she alright?"
"She's fine, she just fainted … from what exactly, I'm not sure."
"Alright … I'll take her now, you may leave." Hiashi took Hinata from Neji's arms, and walked away into the large complex. Neji stayed motionless for a moment, before leaving and returning to his own part of the Hyũga establishment. While walking, he was pondering what those voices that he heard, were.
"And just what was that book that Hinata had …?"
Meanwhile, Hiashi Hyũga took Hinata to her room and set her down in her bed. He eyed the book that she was carrying, and reached down to take the book from her.
"Don't touch the book you weird-eyed asshole!"
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Hiashi announced fairly loudly upon hearing the insulting and hostile voice in his head. He activated his Byakugan and looked around, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. He looked down at the book again, which Hinata seemed to be guarding with her life, and decided to leave it alone.
"Notify me immediately if she wakes up before night falls." Hiashi said to a servant outside of Hinata's door.
"Yes sir." Hiashi walked away, and the servant stood outside of Hinata's room as she stayed in her unconscious slumber.
"Ugh, another girl with huge boobs … why do you always get those kinds of clients, Lust?!"
"Beats me, I hate large titted girls anyways, and long haired ones too … I prefer short hair and a flat chest."
"You mean like Envy?"
"S-Shut up, Pride!"
"W-Who's there? The servant outside of Hinata's room announced, looking around but seeing nobody. The voices he heard sounded strange but not hostile; he decided to ignore them and just continue with his watch.
Sometime later, Hinata awoke from her unconsciousness, and opened the door to her room, the book still in her grasp. She told the servant she felt fine, but he insisted on notifying Hiashi anyways. The servant left, and a couple minutes later, Hiashi came into Hinata's room and sat down to talk with her.
"Hinata, tell me what happened." Hiashi said with a bold and serious tone to his voice.
"N-Nothing … I just fainted from exhaustion from the mission earlier today, that's all …"
"Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes, I'm sure."
"Very well, I guess you just need more endurance training … you may continue resting, it's almost night time."
"Night time is fun! You can play night tag!"
"Again?! Who's there?" Hiashi said, looking around the room.
"U-Um, if you heard a voice in your head, other people have been hearing them too … I'm not sure why though."
"It may be that book, give it here, it may have some kind of mark on it." Hiashi extended his arm and Hinata cautiously and slowly handed over the book to him.
"No curse marks, and only seven words … what kind of useless book is this?"
"Hey fuck you and your kitchen sink! I'm not useless, and I'll bet I get way more bitches than you do!"
"Yeah, under-aged bitches …"
"Shut up, Wrath!"
"In any case … I'll leave it to you, stay on your guard, and notify me if something happens." Hiashi handed the book back to Hinata, then stood up and left the room.
"I will …" Hinata said, clutching the book again and thinking about the day's events, including bumping into Naruto and knocking him out from embarrassment, as well as fainting right afterwords. Needless to say, Hinata felt pretty weak and pathetic, she's consistently shy around Naruto to the point of being unable to have a decent conversation with him, let alone confess her feelings.
"Why can't I be a little stronger …? I want to tell Naruto-kun how I feel …" Hinata laid down in her bed and buried her face in her pillow, beginning to sob slightly. Her feelings for Naruto grew in strength each time she saw him, but so did her shyness towards him. She wished there was someway, somehow she could confess her feelings to the boy she has loved every since she met him in school when they were just young kids.
"If only I wasn't so … weak … I wish I could tell Naruto-kun how I feel …" Hinata said quietly with a smile and closed her eyes, a lone tear fell down her right cheek as she fell into a soft sleep.
"There's my cue! Whew buddy, this shit is gonna be fun!"
~Later That Night~
"Nn …" Hinata moaned silently as she slowly opened her eyes, she had a difficult time sleeping because of the events from the previous day. Plus, she couldn't shake the feeling that she wasn't alone in the room, and that she was in danger somehow. Hinata froze up when she felt something sliding down her back, she spun around and saw an unknown figure a foot away from her in bed with her.
"Hey there sexy, how are you doing? Sleep well?" The unknown person said, it was a boy for sure, with long silver hair and piercing red eyes that seemed to glow in the dark.
"k-kya- mmphh!" Hinata began to scream and was about to attack, but the boy quickly covered her mouth with his hand and used some strange purple mist to tie up her hands and feet.
"Whoa whoa, please don't do any of that screaming shit. I swear to Lucifer I'm not going to hurt you, I'm a good guy and I'm on your side, so please don't yell."
"Mmmphh … Mmk …" Hinata spoke as best as she could, her words being muffled by the boy's hand still.
"Now, if I take my hand off of your mouth, and the energy off of your hands and feet, will you yell?"
"Mm mm …" Hinata shook her head, and the boy slowly removed his hand from her mouth and released her restraints. Hinata was still visibly frightened, her eyes were wide open in shock, and she was shivering. "W-W-Who are y-you?! Where did you … come from?"
"You know those voices you've been hearing? Those were my friends and I, we were in that book." The boy said, pointing to the purple felt-covered book that was sitting next to Hinata.
"The … book? But how?"
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Kira Shizumi, I'm the physical embodiment of the sin of Lust, as well as your demonic guardian and Lust Fulfillment specialist starting …" Kira said, holding up a finger and looking at the clock.
"S-Starting …?"
"Not yet …" Kira watched the clock, as the minute-hand slowly ticked away, finally landing on the 12 to meet the hour hand, signaling midnight and the next day's beginning. "Starting now!" Kira sat up, and bowed to Hinata, who sat up as well but still was fairly shocked.
"O-Okay … but, you're a demon, aren't you going to attack me? And w-what do you mean by lust specialist?" Hinata asked with a slight blush on her face.
"Well, you know how you wished you could confess to that Naruto person? Well, my job is to help people with confessions and other things involving love and lusting for someone or something. In short, I'm going to help you confess to Naruto."
"W-Wha … b-but I don't know if I-"
"Yes you can do it, don't worry, I'll help you little by little. Now then, I heard this was a ninja village, who is your leader here? Hopefully she will let my friends and I roam around peacefully, we're dying to get some fresh air …"
"I'll t-take you to Tsunade-sama tomorrow … b-but can I go back to sleep …?" Hinata asked, yawning slightly and rubbing her eyes.
"Oh yeah, sure, sorry. Good night, Master Hinata." Kira kissed Hinata gently on her left cheek before disappearing into the book. Hinata blushed slightly and wiped her cheek with her shirt sleeve before laying back down.
Hinata was having a difficult time processing the fact that a demon who appeared from a book she found in a cave was going to help her confess her feelings to Naruto, but she wasn't about to pass up such an offer. Besides, this "Kira" person may prove to be a valuable and useful ally, but she needed to get him approved by Tsunade first, and that alone was going to be difficult. However, that was something she would worry about in the morning, for her exhaustion was beginning to overcome her. Hinata laid her head down on her pillow and closed her eyes. The day's events went whirling through her mind, but there was one thing, or rather one person, that she couldn't stop thinking about.
"Naruto-kun …" She whispered as she gave in to her fatigue and fell into a deep slumber.
~The Next Morning~
"Nn …" Hinata muttered in her sleep before sitting up and rubbing her eyes, giving off a cute and soft yawn as well. "T-That was a really strange-"
"Don't say it was a dream, because it wasn't, good morning beautiful, how was your night?" Hinata turned her head to the right and saw Kira sitting right next to her, his face inches away from her's.
"I-It was good … are you always this close with your clients?"
"Mmm only if they're really cute or beautiful, and you just so happen to be both. But don't worry, I'm not going to hit on you, my job is to get you together with you-know-who." Kira winked and kissed Hinata on her cheek to say good morning, he then stood up and stretched.
"I see … u-um, thanks for the compliments I guess …" Hinata smiled and wiped her cheek with her sleeve again.
"No problem, so tell me, what do you usually do in the-"
"Hinata!" A voice called out, Kira and Hinata both heard footsteps approaching quickly.
"I-It's my Father! C-Can you hide?" Hinata asked, sounding a little panicked.
"I can do even better than that! Gular Asj: Raka Ashj Toralar (Demon Art: Fade Into Shadows)!" Kira spoke these words after making a hand sign that Hinata was unfamiliar with, and suddenly disappeared completely. Hinata couldn't feel his presence, or sense any kind of chakra in the air, which means he didn't use any for that spell. Moments after Kira vanished, Hiashi stormed into the room and began frantically looking around while in his battle stance.
"Hinata, are you alright? I sensed another person's presence in this room, and my byakugan picked up a strange, evil power resonating from in here … it wasn't chakra, but something else entirely." Hiashi spoke while walking around the room, thrusting at random areas.
"N-No, it's just me in here … don't worry." Hinata said with the straightest face she could.
"In any case … how is that book? Do you still hear voices?"
"Mmm you're this girl's father, are you? You're pretty cute, are you looking for some daily … fun?"
"The voices again?! I'll have you know I'm happily married!"
"That won't stop me, hun. Besides, will your wife do anything and everything you say? I can get pretty kinky, you know~."
"Of all the whores I've met in my nine-thousand, five hundred seventy three years of life, you are by far the queen of them, Pride."
"Aww~ no need to flatter me so much, Lust."
"This is getting out of hand … I will find out where those voices are coming from. Hurry up and prepare for your morning training." Hiashi said sternly before relaxing his fighting stance and leaving the room, Hinata sighed and then froze up when she felt a tingling sensation on her bare back.
"Hmm … you have very smooth skin, even smoother than my Sin acquaintance, Pride." Kira reappeared from the shadows, and was stroking Hinata down her spine using some kind of demon energy to penetrate her clothes.
"A-Ah! T-Thank you but could you please n-not …" Hinata shivered and gently pushed Kira's hand away.
"Aww~ fine … I guess I'll have to find a ninja girl in this town I can mess around with. Anyways, like your father said, go do your morning training. I'll be waiting here for you when you return, so there's no need to rush.
"Alright, well I'll be leaving then …" Hinata bowed and quickly left the room. Kira yawned and returned to the book where he was greeted by the other Sins.
~Inside the Demonic Book of Summoning~
"Exactly what did you mean by her having smoother skin than me? My skin is absolutely flawless! Right …?" Pride, one of the other sins, was whining and shaking Kira by his shoulders, although he wasn't paying any attention to her at all.
"So anyways, I talked to my client and she said she's going to introduce us to the leader of the village and possibly give us six permission to freely roam the village as we please." Kira said, still ignoring Pride who suddenly perked up and looked at him with tear filled eyes.
"W-What do you mean … 'us six'? I'm included in that, right? You're excluding Sloth because he's always asleep … right~?" Pride began sobbing while Kira continued ignoring her.
"Oh that reminds me, we need to find a replacement Pride right? The other one seems to have disappeared, anyone know where she went?"
"No idea, maybe we left her in a different dimension." Envy said from across the room while filing her nails.
"Yeah~! Didn't we leave her with Orihime?" Gluttony added.
"Yeah I think you're right, well we better contact 'him' and tell him we need a new Pride." Kira said with a grin while running a finger down his cheek.
"Ugh … you know how much I hate talking to 'him'. But I guess it can't be helped; besides, I was getting tired of the old Pride anyways." Wrath growled while eating some bread.
"Same."
"Definitely."
"She was annoying."
"A total … nuisance."
"Can I have a cookie, Big Brother?" a small boy asked, tugging at Kira's sleeve.
"Sure Greed, let's go get you one from Pride's old cookie jar, since she isn't around anymore to stop us."
"Y-You guys aren't funny~!" Pride said before running off, crying obnoxiously. The other Sins just sighed and watched her leave.
"She takes … things too … seriously …" Sloth said in-between yawns.
"Yeah, I know … I better go apologize, be right back." Kira groaned before walking off after Pride.
Meanwhile, Hinata was going through her morning training. However, her mind was wandering off after soaking in all of the new information she had received last night and early this morning. Mostly the fact that Kira was able to completely erase his presence to the point of not even her father being able to find him, was simply amazing. The only problem is, she's going to have a hard time explaining to her father where the Sins came from and all. But, she was going to worry about that later, right now she had to focus.
"Alright, that's enough you two, you're finished for now." Hiashi called out to Hinata and her younger sister, Hanabi. They both bowed and returned to the building to prepare for the rest of the day. After taking a shower and heading back to her room and making sure nobody had followed her or was watching, she picked up the book and flipped through the pages.
"Um … it's only me here right now, and I'm finished with my morning training …" Hinata whispered into the pages, she felt like an idiot but she knew that was how to get a hold of Kira.
"Alright, I'll be right there~!" Kira called out, appearing in front of Hinata within moments of him announcing it. "Okay, let's go~!"
"You seem … very happy."
"Are you kidding? Happy doesn't even begin to describe it, us Sins rarely get to leave the book, and even when we can, we usually can't go further than our client's room or house. If we can roam this village freely without being treated like outcasts, it would be a dream come true."
"I-I see … let's hope Tsunade-sama approves of you and the others then … but how are we going to leave without anyone seeing you?"
"I'll go back into the book, take the book with you to Tsunade-sama or whatever, and when the time comes I'll come out and introduce myself."
"U-Um, okay …" Hinata said nervously, and grabbed the book, allowing Kira to return inside of it before leaving her room and heading for the exit. Just before she was about to leave the entrance to the Hyuga residence, she was stopped by Neji.
"Where are you leaving to in such a hurry, Hinata?" Neji asked, briefly looking at the book in her arms.
"I … have some business with Tsunade-sama …"
"I see … and you're bringing the book?"
"Y-Yeah …"
"Return safely." Neji nodded at her before walking past her and down the road. Hinata took a deep breath of relief and continued to Tsunade's residence.
"Why did you seem frightened by … um, Negi was it?" Kira said, speaking into Hinata's mind.
"Neji, and I was just worried that … he would take the book."
"I see … so tell me, what is this Tsunade person like? What kinds of things does she like?"
"Um … well, she likes gambling … and drinking, and eating sweets, I think …"
"Hmm … perfect! I have a trick up my sleeve just in case she says no." Kira was snickering in Hinata's mind, which made her worry quite a bit. Even though he said he was on her side, and that he was going to help her, there's still no way of proving that Kira and the other Sins were friendly. Hopefully she will find the answer after showing them to Tsunade. Finally, Hinata reached the Hokage's office, and quickly walked up the stairs and towards the main room, only to be stopped by two guards.
"Hinata Hyuga? What are you doing here? You weren't called upon for a mission, were you?" The first guard said.
"N-No … um, is Tsunade-sama currently busy?"
"I don't believe so … last I checked, she was eating some dango and enjoying a cup of tea. I can go ask her if she has time for you, though." The second guard said before walking into Tsunade's office, and returning a few moments later. "She said to come in."
"O-Okay, thank you very much." Hinata bowed and slowly opened the door and walked inside. She noticed Tsunade was sitting in her chair while finishing what looked like her breakfast. Dango and tea, what an interesting breakfast.
"Oh, hello Hinata, what did you need?" Tsunade asked, shoving a dango into her mouth.
"U-Um … it's about this book …" Hinata nervously said, holding out the book she was clinging to.
"Did something happen? Don't forget, you are responsible for any terrible events that take place because of it." Tsunade suddenly put on a serious face and stared at the trembling girl.
"N-No, nothing happened … well, nothing … bad I guess, what happened was … well, I guess you could say-"
"Maybe I can explain it better." Kira spoke into Tsunade's mind which made her perk up and look around.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Before I do, I would like to make it clear that I am entirely on your side, and that I come in complete peace."
"Alright … now come out." Tsunade demanded. Moments later, the book opened by itself and flipped to the page titled "Lust". A small, black portal formed on the page and Kira soon appeared out of it.
"Good morning to you, Hokage-sama." Kira said politely, bowing to the shocked woman.
"W-What … did you just come out of that book?!"
"Yes ma'am, my name is Kira Shizumi, I am the physical embodiment of the sin of Lust. The other sins are inside that book as well. Our job is to fulfill the wish of anybody that finds the book and releases us." Kira flashed a sparkling smile at Tsunade, who went from shocked to concerned in an instant.
"So … you're a demon, I presume?"
"Yes, but rest assured, we are all friendly."
"We'll see … so Hinata found the book in that cave, correct? You were released by her?"
"Yes and no, you're both correct and incorrect ma'am. Hinata did find the book, however it was not her that originally released us."
"Then who did?" Tsunade asked, suddenly standing up.
"Wrath will be able to tell you that if you allow him audience with you." Kira pointed to the book which flipped to the page titled "Wrath".
"Very well … bring him out." Tsunade said, sitting back down. Kira whistled and within a few moments, another black portal formed on the page just like it had previously done. This time, an extremely tall and muscular man appeared, his head nearly hitting the ceiling.
"B-Big …" Shizune, Tsunade's attendant said, staring at Wrath with shocked and extremely wide eyes, while the pig in her arms was doing the same.
"Hello, Tsunade, was it? I'm Wrath, it's a pleasure."
"H-Hello … likewise … so tell me, who released you from the book?" Tsunade asked, a bead of sweat falling down her cheek, most likely because of seeing Wrath's enormous physique.
"I was summoned by a group of ninja who had gathered multiple cursed items, they claimed they wanted to rule the ninja world and eliminate anyone who disagreed with them." Wrath began, taking a deep breath, most likely trying to calm his inner rage. "However, I told them I could not help them, since us Sins can only take on jobs that do not harm other innocent people. When I told them I refused to help, they got violent and attacked me."
"So you brutally massacred them all by yourself?"
"Yes, although we Sins try to avoid conflict if possible, these men were … hell-bent on it, if you will. So I had to dispose of them."
"I see … well, I must thank you for that, the team I sent out there told me there were many corpses so I'm not positive if they would have been able to handle them all. However, how do I know you will not do the same to the villagers here?" Tsunade asked, glaring at Wrath who took another deep breath to retain his calm appearance.
"As I said before, we are forbidden from harming innocent people, unless they threaten us or our clients."
"Also, since I am currently serving Hinata, she has complete control of my actions. So, as long as you trust her, you can trust me." Kira added, stepping forward. Tsunade just closed her eyes and continued eating her dango which was almost depleted.
"Hmm … alright, now why did you come here? To simply introduce yourselves?"
"With your permission, the seven Sins would like to be able to live in the village while assisting Hinata with her wish. We will, of course, obey the rules and regulations of the village, as well as serve you with anything you need."
"As much of a help as you could possibly be … it's difficult to allow demons to roam the village without supervision … Shizune, I need more dango." Tsunade called out to her attendant, who froze up and backed up against the wall.
"U-Um … we're actually … all out, Tsunade-sama."
"What!? How am I supposed to go through my busy day without a proper breakfast?! Go make more!"
"Y-Yes ma'am, but the dango shop isn't going to open for a few hours and-"
"I don't care! Go make him open up earlier!"
"If I may interject for a moment …" Kira said, stepping forward again. "I can get you more dango if you would like."
"Oh? And how will you do that …?" Tsunade said, going to bite off the last piece of dango she had.
"Well for starters, don't eat that last piece just yet." Kira quickly said, causing Tsunade to slowly lower the food before putting it in her mouth.
"Alright … now what?"
"Just one moment please. Gular Asj: Heretilan (Demon Art: Duplication)!" Kira said these words and placed his palm over Tsunade's last piece of dango. Suddenly, the skewer that had the dango was automatically filled with even more, and the plate it was resting on was piled high with dango as well.
"W-What?!" Shizune said in shock, falling backwards. Tsunade looked at the pile of dango and gulped before picking one up and throwing it into her mouth, chewing carefully before swallowing.
"They're … delicious. How did you do that?"
"It's a demon technique, it's actually a simple one as well. Now then, have you made a decision regarding our possible freedom of roaming?"
"I thank you for the dango … but, I still have one small problem with allowing demons to-"
"Maybe a five-hundred year old bottle of alcohol will settle things?" A voice announced. Suddenly, another portal formed on the book on the page titled "Gluttony" and a very obese man with neatly combed hair came out, holding a large bottle.
"And you are …?"
"My name is Gluttony, it's a pleasure to meet you." Gluttony tried to bow, but his extreme girth prevented him from going too far.
"Five hundred year old alcohol … are you trying to bribe me?"
"My apologies if it seems like that, but we really would love to get some fresh air and freedom, since we have been in that book for quite a while." Gluttony walked over to Tsunade's desk and gently placed the bottle down.
"I see … well, I suppose it can't hurt to allow you seven a test run … Hinata." Tsunade called out to the girl who was standing in the back of the room, speechless and motionless the entire discussion.
"Y-Yes, Hokage-sama?"
"I will put these seven in your care, find them places to stay and make sure they don't cause trouble. However, you all will be expected to assist the village in missions or maintenance if needed, am I clear?"
"Y-Yes, thank you, Hokage-sama." Hinata said, bowing. The other sins bowed as well before letting loose cheers and sighs of relief.
"Thank you very much, Tsunade … may I ask you a question?" Kira said, looking at Tsunade who was stuffing her face with Dango.
"Mm? Sure."
"Is it customary in this village to appoint someone so young into the position of Hokage?" Kira asked, flashing a smile that exposed his fang. Tsunade smirked and looked back at him.
"Flattery won't get you anywhere, but I'll have you know I'm much older than I appear."
"Oh? You and I are the same then. I'm much older than I appear as well."
"Heh, well enjoy your stay in Konoha, and tell the others the news. But remember, you must be on your best behavior, or I will not hesitate to command Hinata to keep you all in that book."
"No problem, you won't even notice we're here." Kira bowed again before signaling Wrath and Gluttony to return to the book. Hinata and Kira walked out of the room and left the building, getting looks from the nearby villagers.
"S-So … when do we begin … helping me?" Hinata asked, blushing intensely.
"We already have begun it, Hinata. Give me two weeks and I'm sure I can hook you up on a date with you-know-who." Kira winked at Hinata who was blushing very hard, but almost smiling at the same time.
"A date with … Naruto-kun …"
