Chapter 8

As Naruto sat on the faceless Kumo ambassador's corpse, he stared blankly at the starry sky, his body completely drenched in blood and was breathing heavily. The bloody red aura and his nightmarish smile had already faded.

His head turned slowly at the direction of Hinata. She was still bounded and gaged. He walked slowly to her position, then he down with the bloodied knife he just killed the Kumo ambassador, he cut the ropes that bounded her and removed the gag from her mouth. She was free from her binds but she just stared at his face.

' She just saw me killed another human.' Naruto thought, ' She now thinks that I am a monster.' He felt a sharp pain on his head. ' Ah shit! ' he grabbed his head.

Without any warning, he was tackled to the ground, "Ah! my head!" Naruto groaned in pain. He looked at what had tackled him only to see a scared and crying Hinata hugging him like her life depends on it.

This confused Naruto, ' Why is she still crying. I already killed that scum!!!... That bastard even when he's dead, he stills made her cry!!! CURSE YOU BASTARD!!! THE DAY YOU BORN!!! CURSE YOU!!! '

" A-Arigato!" his thoughts were broken by a soft voice that seemed that could break into tears at any moment. It was comming from Hinata who had burried her face into his chest.

She then kept saying 'thank you' over and over again tightening her grip on Naruto's body. Finally she burst out all the emotions that she held within her and cried, loudly.

Naruto did not know what to do at that moment. All his life, he only knew that people cry due to two reasons: First, it was due to pain and Second, it was due to fear.

Here, Hinata was neither in pain nor was she scared( Since the guy responsible was dead.)

So, he could do at that moment.

He, patted the back of her head running his hand on her silky indigo hair, here down.

**********************************************

The Citizens of the Village of Konoha, were all peacefully asleep in their own comfortable beds. But they all suddenly woke up from a very horrifying feeling. It was so horrifying that they began to shiver out of fear . Not even the day when the Kyubi attacked their village caused this much fear to them.

Babies and children would not stop crying. Birds flew in every direction. The bugs from the Aburame clan became very restless and Dogs from the Inuzuka clan began to howl.

At the Hyuga compound, Hiashi and Hinami woke from the immense bloodlust. ' Such bloodlust! Who could have produce this much!' She suddenly had a very bad feeling and it was regarding Hinata. She rushed to her room only to see empty bed and an open window Hiashi soon came to the room. A gaurd also came a few seconds later informing Hiashi that the Kumo ambassador was no where to be seen. They realised that their daughter was kidnapped!

A search team was dispatched to find the Hyuga heiress, even Hinami herself joined by the search team. Half-an-hour later, they found the Heiress asleep on top of a bloodied blonde boy a black calf sat beside them and not far from them was, what be seemed to be faceless man with the Kumo ambassador's clothes. Hinami rushed down at the crime scene, " Hinata!"

Naruto looked at Hinami, then he got up, picking up Hinata in bridal style and handed her to her mother. Then, several ninjas arrived at the scene including The ANBU. Naruto scoffed at them, ' Where are the fuck are they when they are needed the most.'

A Dog masked ANBU ninja came infront of Naruto. " Do you know who killed this man? The masked ninja asked Naruto pointing at the faceless corpse.

Naruto face became emotionless, he tilted his head and said, " Is that even a question? I hope you can see that I am completely drenched with that scum's blood."

" And why did you kill him? " The masked ANBU asked.

The whole surrounding seemed to drop a few degrees when Naruto answered. " Why I killed him you asked? It's because he was a threat to Hinata." He then continued, " I promised that I will protect her and I will keep so."

Hinami was surprised to hear that he kept his promise, even to the point that he was willing to kill someone to keep his promise.

The dog masked ninja r ecieved a message from his radio. " Sorry young man but the Hokage wants to meet you." The dog masked ninja said to Naruto.

" Why? so that he could could send me to prison?" Naruto replied.

" That I don't know." He replied, " But he wants to meet you now." He then placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and body-flickered to the Hokage's office.

Naruto fell to the ground feeling very dizzy. " Warn me next time when you do that kind of shit again!" Naruto warned him.

" It seems that you have grown quite well did't you." Said a voice. Naruto turned to the voice to see an old man sitting behind an office table, wearing a hat with the symbol of Fire on it and was smoking leisurely from a pipe.

Naruto stood up and politely greed the greeted old man, " Good evening, Hokage-sama." This old man infront of him was the village leader, he was a man to be respected and feared by all for he was the strongest ninja this village has.

The Hokage took a puff of smoke from his pipe and said, " Nice to meet you too Naruto-Kun."
