Attention now directed elsewhere again, suspicious were slowly granted as the group of shinobis came fourth. Another injured, a medical nin was indeed needed as of now. "Where is Asuma?" The jonin carefully stared at the unconscious form of Temari, before speaking again slowly. "I cannot be in three places at once. I also cannot leave this situation to search for the other." The ever so pressing threat of the demon's awakening yet again came into thought. A slow breath was taken before he felt movement from Sakura. It seemed she was coming too slowly. "Chouji, find Asuma." At this he finally set Sakura on her feet steadying her with a hand on her shoulder. "Shikamaru, you'll come with me. Show me where you found her." At her he meant Temari, as he finally rose for a moment. That still left Sakura, Naruto, Aoi, Sasuke and this other person. Which one could he trust mostly to take them to get medical attention. "Ino. Take this group to Shizune." He doubted that was the right choice, but it was the only one that really didn't have an emotional outset for the moment. "Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. Do not, I repeat do not go looking. Konohagakure's safety comes first." At that a sudden movement caused him to turn slowly. "ANBU. That was perfect." Speaking briefly, the ANBU would be the one's that could escort them. With that Kakashi turned slowly. "Shikamaru, let's go." With that the jonin was on the move again, leaving the group with the eight ANBU members.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The five shinobi were in location now. Each one kept with objectives. They were doing a grid search, mainly starting with the outer-lyings of Kirigakure. They were hoping that perhaps Zabuza hadn't left altogether, as a pressing assignment was in turn. The five were incomplete with out the other two. Ten eyes watched quietly, waiting for that exact moment when the other two would make themselves known.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The cheek of some businesses." The new kunais were crafted expertly but had caused a very pretty penny. Kabuto only shook his head slipping them away completely, while the ruckus went about. Bumping into Sarutobi Asuma he gave off that smile yet again. "Asuma-sempai, I believe you should find your students." With that, the jonin had left quickly in order to do so. With that, Kabuto would be rather bored now, having finished his rendevous with Orochimaru. Plan still etching fourth as usual, save a new target for a container. The nin sniffed lightly pushing up his spectacles once. "Cheeky businesses."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The demon of Kirigakure, a nickname that wasn't without it's truth. Positioned just along a rather large oak, the attire remained completely blanked. Dyed black slightly, tarnished bandages littered his features, as coal spikes leaked fourth in a random array. Snow was beginning to fall, as the nin waited for Haku. It seemed he had wanted to go shopping, nothing was exactly pressing so he had agreed. The large sword impaled in the tree-side, he balanced chakra in the balls of his feet to keep himself from falling. Balancing perfectly on the flat of the sword, a slight tug indicated his sleeve was slightly loose. "Haku, manage your time better.
Ino nodded silently, as the masked jonin asked her to find the medical nin. As the others departed, she looked at her fellow genin. Sakura and the new boy needed medical attention right away. Shizune was suppose to be on a mission today. Grateful for the arrival of the ANBU, Ino decided to leave it in their capable hands.
_____________________________________________
"But-!" Naruto cut himself off again. He did wish to follow and help his teacher, but the blonde genin also realized where the most danger was. The boy he seemed to be supporting was passing in and out of conscience. This new comer was dangerous. It was obvious that he was more powerful than Gaara, and even with help, Naruto had not been able to take the Sand genin down easily.
"Naruto." Sasuke was approaching him. "I'll take my cousin now." Eyes wide open, Naruto stared at the genius.Cousin? No wonder then looked so much alike. Almost ready to hand him off, naruto remembered what Kakashi-sensei had said. "No, sensei told me to watch after him. You should help Sakura-chan."

"This way." Shikamaru weaved through the trees back to the battle created clearing.
(((So here are our plots:
1. The Akatsuki have made their move on Konoha. They now have a new target - Aoi.
2. The black shadow ninjas (who we've yet to really learn about) have attacked Gaara and Rock Lee successfully. We don't know their plan.
3. The demon inside Aoi could cause a serious stirrup.
And PLEASE don't ignore my post simply because it's long.)))
Shino had jumped down out of the tree he was in. He landed softly on his sandals, behind Naruto, who jumped and yelled spasmadically. "Sh-Shiiiiiino!!!!!" Naruto yelled. Shino made no move to calm him, but spoke to Sasuke.
"That thing inside him. It can wake again." He said passively. He looked at the trail Kakashi and Shikamaru had taken, then back at his Uchiha ally. He began thinking to himself "these Uchiha.....they are capable of everything...."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neji had burst into the Hyuuga clan's head meeting room, interrupting a meeting of the head family members. Hinata was pulled in as well, her hand still clutched by her older cousin. Hiashi looked bewildered and spoke "Neji, Hinata, what is the meaning of this? You're interrupting an important council!" He began looking angry and irritated, for he mistook their urgency for playfulness.
Hinata immediately bowed down and blushed, saying "Sorry Father, Neji-Kun and I were just-" But Neji lifted her off her knees and shouted "Konoha.....is going to be attacked!"
At "Attacked" the Hyuuga's in the room gasped and hushed. They were here for an ordinary meeting about the clan, just to discuss their daily lives, and weren't entirely expecting a death-warning. Some of the Hyuuga's looked worried, but some kept their calm. Hiashi looked serious, and spoke straightforward "Neji...Hinata...what was the first thing I told you about entering here?" Neji raised an eyebrow at this comment. Then looked embarrased. Regardless of the circumstances, he was still a branch member house, and needed to show his respect. He bowed, and Hinata followed.
Hiashi seemed more pleased at this, then spoke to Neji and said "Now, explain what you mean."
Neji then began his story about how he was attacked by the akatsuki member, and was put under a flaming genjutsu. Hinata didn't think this information was enought to think that this meant there would be an attack against Konoha, but when she looked at her father, she realized that it was. Hiashi understood that fighting a genin clearly wasn't Kisame's plan. They were either gathering information, or looking for something. Both the former and the latter weren't exactly good signs.
He stood and told Hinata and Neji "Go to the third and tell her this. We will do what we can here." Neji bowed lower and agreed. He and Hinata got up and ran outside. Neji and Hinata took off outside the courtyard, and jumped higher onto Konoha's rooftops.
"do you really think there will be an attack Neji-Kun?" Hinata asked, hardly hiding the slight tremble in her voice.
"Hopefully not, but we still have to tell Lady Tsunade." Neji said without looking at her.
They jumped onto another rooftop, and ran across it, their arms behind them. It was early in the morning. Hinata wondered where Naruto and team 7 were, when she looked down at the Ramen shop and saw Naruto wasn't there. She worried instantaneously. Ahead of her, Neji jumped onto another rooftop, and she approached the end of the one she was currently running on. She jumped into the air, and was about to land safely when-
"HINATA- LOOK OUT!" Neji yelled as he held his hand outward trying to stop her from jumping. It was too late, she was in mid-air when the kunai came flying. She wouldnt' have noticed it had Neji not yelled to her. She was only able to divert it a little, and it stuck hard below her left shoulder. She screamed in pain as she lost her aerial footing, and began to lose her positioning. Neji reached out to catch her, but was hit by a spinning shuriken in both of his arms. Hinata spun mid air and landed on the next rooftop, hard on her side. The rough tiles of the roof scratching her face, her vision began blurring.
"Hinata!" Neji said as he was hit in the kneecaps by two more shuriken. He crumpled onto the ground a few feet away from her. He could see the attackers feet - black sandals. He lifted his head and saw that the nin was dressed entirely in black, and appeared alone. The black nin approached the grounded Hyuuga's and gave a chuckle beneath his mask. Neji scowled as the shinobi reached out for Hinata.
In his head, Neji remembered the conversation he had with his father, Hizashi, long ago.
"Neji-Kun, you must protect Hinata. She is your family, and it is your duty as a branch member to do so."
Neji pushed himself off the ground, and onto his back. He took a page from Lee's book and spun around in a whirling kick, knocking the all black nin onto his back. The move itself hurt Neji extremely, for a shuriken was still in his knee. He hoisted himself up and pulled the steel out of him, and in the process threw a kunai he had pulled from his pouch at the now grounded shinobi. Neji was bleeding down his arms and legs, but it wasn't too serious. He looked over at Hinata, who was crying.
He ran over to her and dropped one of his kunai. Getting on one knee, he pulled Hinata up. Her face was bleeding badly, and she still had a knife in her shoulder.
"Please stay calm Hinata." He said as he pulled the kunai out. She squealed with tears as blood spurted out from the wound.
"N...Neji-kun" she began as her eyes widened with fear.
"Sssh-" Neji began. He was hit from behing with a hard knee and flew over Hinata's limp body. He landed on his stomach, his legs laying over Hinata's body. In his mind he thought
"Damn it, they are attacking to fast I can't even use the byakugan."
He was then pulled into the air, by a large all black shinobi, holding him just by the ankle. He muttered something about an idiot, and punched Neji hard in the gut. Neji fell to the ground - the wind completely knocked out of him. He saw more shadow nin appear as if from thin air, and approach Hinata. One of them kicked her hard, causing her to cough blood. The large nin then stepped onto Neji's chest, holding him down. From his position, Neji could see down into Konoha, but didn't see anyone in the village. He attempted to stand, but the strong ninja wouldn't allow it. There were about 4 shinobi- including the large one that had just man-handled him- on the rooftop. Neji looked on in horror as the shinobi assaulted the helpless Hinata....
Then, one of the shinobi disgustingly ran his hand over Hinata's body. Neji's eyes sharpened. He was disgracing the Hyuga clan, and now was taking advantage of an unconcious female shinobi.
"BYAKUGAN" Neji screamed as his eyes looked far off and veigns protruded from the side of his head. His muscles seemed to grow larger and veignier from sheer anger, and he grabbed the ninja's foot. He gripped it tightly and spun it around, as it sounded an inhuman crack. The large shinobi screamed and fell on his posterior, and Neji got up. He jumped and Kicked the shinobi right in the face, which forced it to fly downward into the rooftop. The sickening thud it sounded invigorated Neji as he flew over to the group of shinobi. He got into position and said
"64 hits of divinity." With his jyuuken, Neji hit every shinobi several times, causing them to fly backwards and land hard. They were felled briefly, and Neji kneeled down to the bloody Hinata.
In his mind, Neji thought to himself that this wasn't a battle of ninjas, but a pure beating of the two Hyuugas. No skill was used here, and Neji had been utterly decimated within seconds. He lifted Hinata's head, which was even more bloodied, and had saliva on it. He yelled for anyone to help, and got up to scream more. That was when his arms got tied. His hands, arms, and legs were all bound by thin threads, and he stood a prisoner. He looked at who tied him and saw 2 black nin. With his byakugan, Neji saw that the thread was made of Chakra, and immediately opened his chakra gates to cut them. One of the nin grabbed the beaten Hinata- but not before he too disgraced her body- and hoisted her over his shoulder.
"Hinata!" Neji yelled as he ripped the threads off him. The last thing he remembered was the sound of thuds. He was thrown backwards off the roof- and saw that he had been hit by 5 kunai's in the chest and abdomen. He fell from the roof, seemingly in slow-motion. He was a bloodied mess. He landed hard in a dirt alley next to several trash cans, a crumpled and dying shinobi. His last conscious thought was of Hinata's pretty face.
(ECK- As long as I worked on thsi post, I absolutely hate it. It's a terrible fight, and made Neji seem like a complete pussy. It's one of my least favorite posts ever "neji-wise" but in terms of content, i like it. Please let me know how you guys feel about it, and if ur thinking the same thing I am, ignore it.)
Kabuto had heard the scuffle long before anything had occured. Actually interested in this one, he had simply used the body flicker technique only to come to the end. Eyes focusing on the two nin slowly departing a slight snort surmounted at who was going to intercept them. It was a rouge, or seemed so. The facial features gave it away, another S-rank criminal. What exactly was Zabuza doing in this position? Wait, a hunter-nin had been sighted here as well. Could the jonin be searching for a fight or simply passing through to fetch his ward? Kabuto had slowly eased toward the fallen ninja staring at the Hyuuga's severe wounds. Easing a hand fourth he began removing the weapons planted within him without a real care. Etching his finger along the more serious wound a sudden flare of green announced his chakra easing fourth. This was simply a means of sealing his identity really. If even the slightest notion of him being a traitor was announced then he would have to leave. The chakra slowly eased into the Hyuuga the more lethal injuries covering themselves up. The nin continued doing so awaiting for someone to take this little thing off him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ANBU group stared for only a moment, each one acting as previously directed. One slid to a position just in front of Vincent, obviously a female placed her hands foreward performing a quick jutsu. A simple one to cause a sleeping effect. The six other were concerned with the Konoha genin, one taking Sakura while another offered to carry Sasuke. Two had departed in search of a proper medical nin to assist the group as well. The efficiency was amazing, objectives carried out in a near five minutes or so.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kakashi quickly followed Shikamaru almost leading for a second before easing to slowing down. He was slightly riled with the experiences at hand, along with the events that had taken place. Suddenly the jonin skidded to a halt quickly shifting his gaze back to Shikamaru. "Get down!" At that the jonin went airborne for a split instant a large shuriken implanting itself into the trunk of a tree. Landing on his feet the jonin quickly turned to be faced with two nin in all black. Quickly raising his hand, the hitai-ate was removed without hesitation. "I've been looking for something to ease my anger out on." It seemed the two were splitting opponets, one turning towards Shikamaru while the other faced Kakashi. The sharingan was slowly activated, the tomoe spinning for an instant the chakra flows edging fourth. His hand drifting towards the kunai pack along his leg, he retrieved two. The two nin's looked as though they had previously been in a fight. The bruises reminded him of perhaps Taijutsu. "Hyuuga's? Neji?" This was getting rather dangerous already, had no one been left out of a fight. The first nin had charged, Kakashi even took in the fact that he had a slight limp. A giant shuriken, simple to dodge well for him. The jonin shifted his weight to the side bringing a kunai to implant itself in the figure's side. That was too simple, the ninja he was fighting had already had his energy spent. The scream issuing fourth, the limp form collapsed as hands gripped the giant shuriken. A slow three hundred and sixty turn then the shuriken would have lift off shooting straight for the other black nin's torso.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The medic nin Kabuto had been slightly correct, well mostly. Zabuza came to a halt to take in the sight of two nin carrying a child at the looks of it. One even hand his hands on her. Zabuza did have some decency, the grip on his zanbato tightened excessively. Of course a challenge had already been placed, wearing an ANBU mist mask at the moment, the fools had accepted. Setting the female down, it was two on one. Haku would arrive shortly, but the devil of Kirigakure could handle this simple as that. Removing a foldable shuriken from a concealed pouch, the nukenin withdrew his blade as well. It was rather difficult weilding the blade with one hand, but dextirity played a role here as well. The one who had wandering hands would die first, Zabuza's thoughts traveling for a brief moment. He had originally come here to fetch Haku. Neck shifting to the side a slight pop sufficed before the nukenin took off. Dust kicking up, the two nin decided on a sort of pincer movement. These nin were at least jonin level, Zabuza raising both weapons to parry the blow of the other's throwing weapons. Arms crossed for a moment, his weapons were locked in front of him. Though, his hands weren't and a large puddle just so happened to be near. Only chance, quite lucky to say the least. Each didgit slowly interlacing around the other's a hand seal was formed the nukenin muttering a few words a large incasement of water had risen. This of course attracted the black nin's attention. Each one shifting their head for a split second before the water was too connect with the three man group. Zabuza had remained firm but the two nin had slipped. It was becoming increasingly obvious, the fighting tactics, perhaps even if he were to get an appearance. "Iwagakure." It was a simple guess but one nin had flinched slightly before both were in an attempt to rise. The zanbato flashed once cleaving one straight down the middle the nukenin's back shifting slightly as the foldable shuriken inplanted itself in the other nin's throat. Blood rising slowly collided with Zabuza's form giving him the somewhat appearance of an actual devil. ANBU mask slightly soaked, blood was spreading due to being wet. The bloody zanbato remained dug into the mutilated nin's form remaining as a slight marker. Haku of course had shown up minutes later, Zabuza giving him orders. The young ward slowly picked up Hinata's limp form, still finding a faint breath. This was somewhat of a good sign to say the least. Zabuza slowly flicking the water amidst other elements from his arms busied himself with removing his zanbato and shuriken blade. He was already excited now, perhaps another fight would be worth finding. Haku was slightly rushing in order to get the Hyuuga assitance. Having removed his mask, he remained looking rather sweet yet put on a worried expression. In the distance, the boy picked up the forms of two people. One was on the ground, the other standing over providing what looked like to be a green glow. Haku instantly made his way for the pair, perhaps finding his way of dropping the poor girl off then returning to master Zabuza.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The five as of now were still on the move, pressed slightly for time to advance. The remainder needed to be found, and time was slightly of the essense as well. The day was beginning to be late as well, the signs all around.
(I loved the post Quincy. Though, the whole nin having his hands all over Hinata. That was rather disturbing..)
((Honestly, not much. I've only gotten to like Episode 6 or 7... That's all I saw at Dare's and my computer is a piece of crap so I dont download much onto it. I do get the AMV's occasionally so I've seen previews of the series and all. And my friend Beca is currently obsessed with Ichida and the red-haired dude, whose name I cant remember. Yoruichi is my favorite though. KITTY!))
((Renji! that's it!! *feels so stupid since she's heard his name around 87 times and couldn't recall it* Uyruu is pretty cool. I've seen him in action a few times from music videos and stuff. Cool guy. I like Rukia's brother too. Despite being an @ss, which you gotta admit he is from the way he treats his sis, he's not that bad))
