Neji Hyuuga vs Hinata Hyuuga

Naruto noticed the names and then turned to Hinata and felt her fear. Naruto was about to comfort her when he felt a mass of malice and hate. He turned and saw Neji Hyuuga. Naruto was surprised when he saw that Neji took off his head band.

And showed to the world that he did not have the caged bird seal like he once had. Naruto was very confused at that moment. He turned to Kurenai and asked what was going on. She let a lone tear go down her face.

"Well Naruto after the graduation from the academy Hinata was brought before the Hyuuga elders. They had her fight her own sister, but she refused to fight her sister. Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister, also refused. They were punished by both of them being branded, Seeing that the Hyuuga didn't have a heir they decided to chose the strongest Hyuuga. That Hyuuga was Neji, so his seal was removed and he was named the heir."

Naruto growled at the mention of the cage bird seal, he had heard of it before. He was disgusted that a family would use a seal to enslave a portion of their own family. He pushed that away because at the moment the match was about to begin. Naruto himself was worried, the pure malice that was in Neji's soul was disturbing.

The tension was high as both fighters went to the center of the arena. Hinata was shivering at the hate that filled her cousin's eyes. She could feel the phantom pain of the seal from when Neji repeatedly used it on her.

Neji just stood there with a wicked grin on his face, his eyes glinted with a hint of madness. Naruto himself was getting nervous, he knew something bad was going to happen. Even Kyuubi was nervous, she knew that Naruto cared for the girl. What Kyuubi feared was that Naruto would kill the boy if he hurt Hinata.

Neji didn't even get into the hyuuga fighting stance, he just stood there mockingly. Hinata timidly dropped into a very rough stance. She was never really good at the traditional Jyuuken.

Neji sneered at the girl, "Why do you bother Hinata-sama?" He asked mocking her about her past place as clan heir. "We all know that your a weak, timid, spoiled, disgrace of a kunoichi! You should drop from the shinobi ranks, destiny and determined that you are to work for the main house."

Naruto gripped the railings hard, the metal even started to bend. Kurenai herself was chewing on her fingernails. Even Shino was mad, but you could only tell if you heard the loud buzzing sounding from his person.

Even though Hinata was trembling under the gaze of her cousin, she still had one thing that kept her going. She looked up at Naruto Uzumaki and saw that he was glaring at Neji. When Naruto saw that Hinata was looking at him he smiled at her. With new determination Hinata turned back to Neji and lowered into a new stance. A stance that was different than the basic Jyuuken.

Neji scowled, "What are you doing you failure? How dare you bastardize the Jyuuken!" Hinata didn't listen to him, she literally stared her death in the face and when the proctor waved his hand to begin she charged.

Neji barely had time to dodge as Hinata attacked relentlessly. Everyone was amazed at the situation, a branch member actually fighting a the heir of the main branch. But the amazing part was that Hinata was winning. Naruto himself looked at both of them with his Rinnegan, he saw that Neji's chakra coils were the size of a low chunnin. The weird thing is that they were only half filled. Neji Hyuuga had been slacking off after becoming the heir of the clan.

Hinata's coils were filled to the brim with chakra, her stores were that of a high chunnin. Naruto also saw her chakra was flowing like a river, he realized that the girl had a water affinity. Even though Hinata had been put in the branch house she had trained, and was now stronger than Neji.

Neji tried and tried to cut off Hinata's chakra points, but every time he tried no chakra would shot out. Neji scowled and found a opening, he struck her chest. Everything was quiet as almost everyone thought that Neji had hit her heart.

Neji then fell to his knees coughing, while Hinata just stood tall with no damage done to her. Everyone but a select few were confused, thankfully Naruto came in with a explanation.

"Hinata cut off the chakra flow to Neji's limbs. He can't use the jyuuken now, all he has left is his fist." Many gasped at this, Hinata, shy timid Hinata had defeated Neji Hyuuga. A Hinata took a deep breath and started to walk away from her downed opponent. Hayate raised his hand to call Hinata the winner but something bad happened.

Neji roared, "Don't you turn your back to me you bitch!" Neji used his last energy to activate Hinata's seal. He channeled his chakra and yelled, "PAIN!"

Hinata screamed in agony and dropped to the floor clutching her head. Neji cackled like a madman as he watched Hinata writhe in pain. Hayate didn't know what to do, but thankfully one blond hero knew what to do.

Naruto sped down slammed a foot into Neji's face. Once Neji was knocked out the seal stopped hurting Hinata. Kurenai jumped down and ran over to Hinata. Naruto ran over and started healing Hinata with purified youki from Kyuubi. Kyuubi herself was happy to help Naruto save Hinata.

Thankfully Hinata soon started to breath normally again. Hinata, who was barely conscious looked up at Naruto and quietly asked, "Did I do good Naruto-kun?" Naruto smiled at her and spoke softly, "You did great Hinata-chan, I'm proud of you." Then Hinata passed out with a smile on her face.

Naruto handed Hinata to Kurenai who took her to the medics. Naruto turned back to Neji, who was starting to get back up. Naruto was about to go over and beat the crap out of the jerk but a hand grabbed his shoulder. Naruto looked back to see one of the people he didn't want to see, Kakashi Hatake.

"Naruto I'll have to ask you to back off, I can't have you assaulting the Hyuuga heir."

Naruto narrowed his eyes at Kakashi, he flicked the man's hand off his person. Naruto turned to the proctor, "Neji Hyuuga used the seal which I remember is forbidden during the exams. Not to mention Hinata already beat him."

Hayate nodded, he raised his hand and said, "Winner Hyuuga-"

"NEJI!"

Everyone turned to see the one that spoke, it was the Sandaime Hokage. Naruto growled at the Hokage, "The one who won was Hinata you old fart!" A lot of people gasped at Naruto's obvious disrespect for the Hokage. Said kage narrowed his eyes at naruto, "Know your place Genin! You interfered with the battle."

Naruto sneered, "I only interfered whenno one tried to save her! You let that prick into the finals old man, there will be consequences!" Many more gasps were heard. The hokage was getting mad.

"Are you threatening your commanding officer Naruto?" A lot of the higher ups were tense, ready to follow their kage's commands. Naruto stared at the old kage and calmly spoke.

"I don't give out threats Hokage-sama, I only give out promises. And I promise if Neji is in the finals." Naruto gave a long pause, "I will cripple him, if not kill him out right." There was a long silence, but before the elder man could do anything Naruto disappeared in whirl of wind. Hiruzen cursed under his breath.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Naruto didn't really care for the rest of the matches, but he did leave a cloaked shadow clone just incase. At the moment Naruto was walking through the forbidden section of the Forest of Death. He was taking his anger out on the local wild life that dared attack him.

His anger was spread far: The old mans treachery, Neji hurting Hinata-chan, the torture he had to endure due to the villagers. Right now he wish he could take a vacation.

A light bulb appeared over his head, why didn't he take a vacation? Its not like anyone in the village could stop him. And he could always come back in time for the finals. And it would only take a week for him to make his Paths. After thinking he decided to go, after all he promised Inari he would visit him. And there was Haku's and Zabuza's graves, he wanted to pay them respect.

After leaving the forest Naruto went to his apartment and grabbed his stuff. During that he felt his shadow clone dispel. He got the memories of the rest of the matches. He was very impressed with Lee's and Gaara's match, though he was sad that Lee might never be a shinobi again. Soon he gave an evil grin as he saw that he'd be facing Neji in the finals.

After sorting the memories Naruto left to go and leave a message for the old man.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Hiruzen literally threw a tantrum in his office, all his years of planning had gone down the drain. The boy had broken free, and lets not forget he had the Rinnegan! Oh the old man was furious. Just as he was about to destroy his desk a piece of paper floated down. He growled as he read the paper.

Dear Old Fart

Just to let you know I'll be out of the village for the duration between the finals. Don't worry I'll be back, and don't even think about disqualifying me. Just imagine if the Fire Daimyo found out that you lied about the Yondaime not having a son. Oh and lets not forget my godmother Tsunade. Let it be know you traitor, I'll be back and I will get my pound of flesh.

Your's mockingly

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikazi-Senju

Hiruzen roared and threw his desk out of his office window.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Naruto creeped down the halls of the hospital, he was there to talk to Hinata. He never did get her out of his head after Kiba-baka ruined everything. As he was walking he heard some shouting. As he got closer to Hinata's room the shouting got louder.

"How dare you attack the new heir, just because you were a failure before doesn't' give you the right to attack your cousin you wench!"

SLAP

Naruto heard whimpering of pain and immediately knew it was Hinata that was hit. He got into the room just as he saw Hinata's own father raise his hand to form the hand sign to activate Hinata's seal. In a blink of an eye Naruto grabbed Hiashi's hand and broke it with a sickening snap.

Naruto glared at the man, "You will not hurt Hinata-chan, now get out of here before more of your body will be broken." Hiashi hissed in pain.

"You have a lot of nerve demon." Naruto growled at the man, "NO! You have nerve, hitting your own daughter! I bet your wive is rolling in her grave. Now get out of here before I do something I'll regret."

Hiashi snarled and started to leave the room, but before he left he glared at Hinata. "You are banished from the clan, and your sister will also after she is punished for your actions."

Hiashi then left, Hinata immediately broke into tears. Hinata started whispering through her tears, "Their going to hurt Hanabi-chan because of me! You have to save her Naruto-kun!"

Naruto went over to Hinata, "I won't let anything happen to her Hinata-chan. I'll be back in a moment." Naruto placed a hand on Hinata's cheek, healing the red hand mark and calming the girl down. Naruto took a deep breath and left through the window, he just hopped he wasn't too late to save Hinata's sister.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Hanabi was scared, she was just reading a book in her room when a few adults barged in and dragged her out by her hair. It was very painful, she was dragged to the main training dojo of the Hyuuga mansion. They threw her on the ground, making sure she was bent on her knees.

She saw that her father and Hyuuga elders glared at her with hate. She was trembling in fear, she had never seen so much hate in her fathers eyes. She was about to ask what was going on, but the second she opened her mouth she was struck with a jyuuken strike to the face. She cried out in pain as the foreign chakra attacked her coils in her face.

One of the elders walked forward, "Hyuuga Hanabi, you are to be punished for the actions that were committed by your failure of a sister. We have decided that you and your sister are only good for one thing." The man gave a evil glare, "Breeding."

All the color drained from Hanabi's face, she started to struggle. She watched in horror as some of the older men started to stalk toward her. She looked at her father, "Why father? Why are you doing this to me and Hinata? We are your own flesh and blood!"

The Hyuuga head just scoffed, "Just like your mother you are only meant for breeding. You actually think I loved your mother? No she, like all other Hyuuga women, are meant for breeding and nothing else." He turned to the elders, "Do what you want she is no longer my daughter, just like that failure."

Hanabi closed her eyes and prayed, 'Please Kami send someone to save me!'

As they got closer Hanabi was about to break from fear, but she then she saw a shadow behind the elders. The shadow had eyes that didn't belong to any hyuuga she knew.

"You all disgust me, DIE!" Naruto jumped out from the shadows and, with the Preta Path power started to suck the chakra out of all the men in the room. Soon only Hanabi and Naruto were the only ones alive.

Naruto walked over and picked up Hanabi bridal style, "Don't worry Hinata sent me, come on we have to get out of here." With a whirl of wind they left.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

When Naruto arrived with Hanabi in Hinata's hospital room Hinata quickly jumped up and pulled her younger sister into a warming hug. Hanabi immediately broke into tears and she told Hinata on what their father said and tried to do.

Hinata looked over to Naruto, "Thank you so much Naruto-kun, thank you for saving my sister." Naruto gave a small smile, "I'm glad I could help, but I have to break this up. I have to find you guys a safe house so you can hide from the Hyuuga's"

As he was thinking he heard a soft voice in his head, 'You could take them to your parents house, its protected by a blood seal. No one other than you can enter it, not even the hokage could enter the it.' Naruto thanked Kyuubi for her idea.

Naruto got the girls attention, "Ok Hinata, Hanabi I'll be taking you to a safe house that only I can get into. Come on we've got to hurry, theres no telling how soon they'll send out people to come and find you."

Once ready Naruto picked up Hinata into his arms and got Hanabi to hang onto his back. With incredible speed Naruto sped into the night, following the directions that Kyuubi gave him. It wasn't long until they reached the house. Naruto didn't even care how big the house was, all he cared was about the safety of the two girls.

He quickly scanned the area with his Rinnegan and, after seeing it was safe, went to the gate and entered by putting blood on the seal. He quickly closed the gate behind him and went into the house. Naruto soon found a room for both of the girls, he silently put them in the bed and left the room. He did remember though to put a note on the nightstand.

He just hoped that the next day would be better than the nightmare that the girls had to go through.
