Hanabi, who had fought her way to a shaky standing positioin was slowly regaining chakra. She looked him skeptically, her head cocked slightly. She opened her mouth, but the words refused to come. She looked over to her older sister for reasurrance. A breeze blew her long, black hair across her face in silky strands, and she took a shaky bretah awaiting her sister's verdict. She looked up then, and niped her lip gently.She was thankful then for grabbing the large, oversized sweater out of the Hyuga training dojo. A new snow had just begun to fall, and it challenged wiht great force the trios warmth and well being. she sighed.
please hold on Neji, please.

Hinata trembled as a few snow flakes fell gently onto her hair and face. She shook her small head then, jet black hair bobbing left and right as she did so. She needed ot come up with a conclusion, and quick. she rolled his words around once in her mouth before repeating them aloud.
" 20 minutes. Tops. "
she nodded and squeezed the bracelet she heald in her pocket, the one she had made for Neji. They were wasting valuble time. She looked towards the Hyuga compound, then to both Ryu and Hanabi.
" Let's go! "
She said, turning abruptly.
((sry ive been gone so long))
[raven was one of the anbu in the ramen shop. she noticed two boys were gone, she turns to another anbu]
raven: you guys can handle this im going to check some thing out
anbu: why do you always go off by your self... [she was already gone] of course [sigh]
[raven jumped on top of the ramen shop and turned to shio]
raven: did you have any thing to do with what happen down there [she look at the boys face through her mask] have i seen you before?
Naruto’s eyes slowly opened to a view of the Hokage’s office. Not that it was anything new, so he just supposed that he was to give Tsunade-baasan a reason for using the demon fox’s chakra with the village borders. And he had a reason. It was that kid, Nachi’s fault. Telling the old sannin that he was trying to protect the others from a nukenin would probably get him out of any trouble. Or at least he hoped it would…
But for now… His nose itched. About the rub it with the back of his hand, Naruto realized he couldn’t.
“Nani? What’s going on?” The blond struggled to free his limb from the manacles that restrained him.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, blondie.”
Looking up, the genin saw the nukenin sitting across from him. The older boy looked less comfortable than himself. Iron shackles bound his hands behind his back, and another chain linked the cuffs to his ankles. But oddly enough, he seemed calm, with not trace of the cold bloodlust he had shown in the village. His cool, half-closed gaze rested upon Naruto.
“Won’t work. Believe me, I’ve tried already.”
“And why should I believe what you say, huh? You’re just some bastard who has no idea what the meanings of friends and loyalty are. You say that you were forced out of Konoha because of what you are, well then I’m stronger than you! I’ve made sure everyone accepts m–”
“Naruto. That’s enough,” Tsunade, the Godaime of Konoha, entered the room and briskly sat down at her desk. But she wasn’t the only one present. Jiraiya, Shinuze, Kakashi, Kazuma, and some others entered as well. Turning to the guard who stood by her, Tsunade motioned for Naruto to be released. “The boy has done nothing wrong. According to the Third’s decree, all nukenin were to be retained by any means possible. As for you… Souh Nachi… or would you prefer another name?”
“No, that name will suffice.”
“Very well… Perhaps you would like to list your crimes for us, Souh.”
“To my knowledge, Konoha has me listed as a nukenin for leaving the village without orders and as a murderer for the death of one Otori Yoshi,” As he rubbed his wrists, Naruto found it disturbing how the prisoner was able to state all this without once faltering. The dark-haired boy sat as comfortably as he could, as he was in chains, calmly looking back up at the group which had formed.
“It seems you have left a few off your list, boy,” Tsunade’s eyes narrowed slightly, an action which both Sakura and Naruto knew to signify her displeasure. “Shall I point them out to you?” Standing up and moving around the desk so she stood in front of the silent captive with her arms crossed, the Hokage continued without an answer. “You are also charged with impersonating Konoha shinobi, resisting an Anbu force authorized to detain you, and bodily harm to one Uzumaki Naruto.”
“Impersona–”
“Mashiro Yuhi, Kaneshi Sato, Haninozuka Haru… Perhaps the last will ring a bell… Uchiha Kyo.”
Momentarily, his eyes widen is surprise but his unemotional façade soon returned. “A mere precaution, one can never be too careful with one’s own name.”
“Yet, you left a noticeable trail for which ninja hunters to follow. Every one of the names you used was linked to Konoha genin, a mere student who would not possibly be allowed to travel alone. All but the last. Uchiha Kyo, a chunnin, died six years after you deserted Team 5.”
This time, his eyes noticeable widen as the boy struggle to find words to speak. Finally managing to do so, the voice with which he spoke as horse and hushed. “D-dead? A-and Katsumi?”
“MIA, believed dead.”
“No…” it was barely a whisper, barely even spoken but in the silence of the room it could be heard by all.
“I find it odd that those of your blood who survive today are not only nukenin, but feel it necessary to hurt everyone who is close to you.” There was a biting sarcasm to her last word that visible effected Nachi. The underlying will to fight and the challenge he had once presented to them was gone. His confidence had dissipated, or so the slump of his shoulders and his bowed head seemed to imply. The splotches which appeared on the floor in the moments that followed only backed that speculation.
(Yeah that was odd for me though. Shikamaru, Kankuro and Neji have been captured and brought to some place. It isn't exactly in Konoha, so hearing them would be...well improbable. I'm hoping their is a rescue team put together. Like a Shika-5 kinda thing. Although which students would go.....😖hifty: )
(Still here! Sorry its taking forever. I'm working on a post, I just lost my muse since Kon stole it and sold it on ebay. Now I have to go buy it back from Willie Wonka cause he wanted to make muse-flavored cotton candy bubble gum [ew...]. It's a whole mess. Luckily, the only thing I have to do is defeat this evil muffin. The muffin's horrid name: Henry! MWUAHAHA!
Random Person: O.o She's gone insane.........
Kimmeh: Maybe.)
