Chap 19: A new Enemy?

 Hinami, Naruto, Shinki, and Akei stood on the training grounds. Hinami lay in the grass watching the clouds as she looked at the white lotus tile, while Naruto talked with Akei, the two seeming to hit it off. The girl content to just listen to them before jumping up, 

"Naruto. Akei. move, now!" She said the two doing so as a chain red as blood came down, 

"Aw boo, you were able to see through that? thats no fun." A woman said, maybe 18-20, her purple hair sitting spiked around her a headband with the kanji for death was tied to her forehead, her yellow eyes looking forwards with a sadistic grin. she wore a red cloak with blue clouds wearing black tights with a blue skirt and white collared shirt underneath. stand on the grass, wearing pink ninja sandals

"Who the hell are you crazy lady!" Naruto said running forwards with Akei,

"You're very rude! my name is Chitiro. And you're just the prize I'm after. isn't that fun." Chitiro said looking towards the group of kids,

"What the hell… She's insane" Hinami said in return, jumping to the side of another chain, 

"Naruto alpha formation" Hinami said and the boy looked over, before he nodded, the two jumping back, 

"Shadow clone jutsu!!" Naruto said creating 6 clones sending them forwards, Chitiro looking towards him in amusement slicing through the clones with her chain, laughing jovially as she did so. 

"Wait! she absorbs chakra!" Akei shouted over, Hinami having slipped away in the smoke given from the clones 'She what?' Hinami thought from behind the girl, 'Well… too late to back out now.' She thought standing in the 8trigrams technique, jumping forwards, 

"Too late now kid!" Naruto said kicking the woman into the air where Hinami was jumping up to meet her. 

"2palms, 4palms, 8palms, 16palms, 8 trigrams 32 palms!" Hinami said sending her palm to the womans chest sending her crashing to the ground, Hinami flipping over and landing on the ground. 

"That actually hurt a bit. ah boo this was supposed to be easy peasy but youre gonna make me work for it." Chitiro said whining like a child, Hinami running forwards,bringing her right fist back, looking towards the women.

"So ninjutsu doesn't work against you. We'll have to rely on Taijutsu then." She said, ducking under a chain, the hook of which lodged in the ground behind her, the girl jumping into the chain like a tightrope walker. jumping as lightning was sent forwards. 'I see, so these chains are a literal extension of her body.' Hinami thought jumping to the other chain that the woman sent out, 'lightning style and medical ninjutsu, alright…' Hinami thought sending her fist forwards

"Haiii!" She said, hitting the woman's forehead, and sending her into a nearby tree, breaking it in half and causing a crater to form on the ground, sending the woman skidding back on the ground, into a dirt mound

"Owieee that hurt. Well, kids like you must be…hey! my body what did you do?!" Chitiro said and Hinami smirked as she jumped back placing her hand on one of the trees,

"I completely rewired your brain. Naruto hang back, Akei protect him, Shinki with me." Hinami said

"Alright." They agreed, Akei standing in front of Naruto, with Shinki standing next to Hinami, looking towards the woman, Naruto said a moment later, before yelling as chains wrapped around him, Hinami running on the grass, jumping off of the trees, charging chakra into her right hand 

"Naruto! Let him go!" Akei said enraged, the woman releasing a shrill laugh, before stabbing Hinami through her abdomen, the girl coughing before falling to the ground, Naruto yelling for her as he disappeared with Chitiro, Hashirama, Jiraiya, and Sasuke appearing on scene a moment later, Hashirama catching the girl. Who'd fallen unconsious, the wound on her abdomen slowly healing, the group jumping onto Jiraiya's toad, heading towards where Naruto was. His chakra flaring as an extraction was attempted on him. 

"Is she…" Akei questioned, Hinami was still on Hashirama's lap, but the girl was still unconscious, 

"She'll be fine, a large amount of her chakra was taken, we need to approach this enemy carefully." Hashirama said in response, 

"She'll be more worried about her shirt when she wakes…" Jiraiya commented as they approached the cave, placing a seal on Sasuke, before Akei, Sasuke, and Jiraiya headed into the cavern, Hashirama and Shinki remaining on the outside with Hinami

"What… what happened?" Hinami questioned placing a hand on her head, groaning a moment as she sat up from the ground, 

"You were stabbed." Shinki said in response and Hinami hummed, looking down, her shirt and jacket baring a small hole, 

"Oh man! It took me forever to make these! Look at this, it's a travesty!! This is going to take forever to fix. Seriously…" Hinami said, pointing out her slightly torn jacket and shirt, 

"You can just buy a new one…" Shinki commented, 

"I'll have you know I made these. Finding just the right shades was hard enough, not to mention the stitching, and sewing and restitching, it took so long to make too." Hinami said in return, before jumping up from the ground, Naruto, Akei, Jiraiya, and Sasuke walked out of the cave. 

"Where's the crazy broad?" Hinami said looking over, 

"Disappeared…" Jiraiya said in response, 

"Did the seal work." Hashirama questioned looking over and Sasuke who nodded in response, 

"You okay, Naruto?" Hinami questioned, 

"Yeah…" Naruto said the two fistbumping before high-fiving, and moving their hands out, 

"What about your jacket?" Naruto said 

"I'll have to repair it… or maybe Hinata can… She's pretty good with knitting and it's basically the same thing… Kind of…" Hinami said in response,

"We'll train here. You two are going to work on a collaboration ninjutsu, since for some reason, your chakra nature's are similar." Jiraiya said, Hinami standing nearby tying a target to a tree, her black hair in a plait braid with one lilac strand and one yellow strand intertwined with her own. wearing a lilac purple sleeveless top with a black skirt, paired with a tan cropped jacket overtop, with the hyuga symbol on the arms, with the Senju symbol on the back in black. Wearing a shuriken holster on her right thigh with a kunai pouch on her back, wearing sleeveless black gloves on her hands with arm guards underneath her jacket. Her scar which sat on the left side of her face, just outside of her eye, she came close to loosing the appendage, but was lucky

"What really?" Naruto said before looking over towards Hinami questioning her about it and the girl nodded in return, but not giving anything else away. Naruto wore a dark blue-orange ninja outfit with his suriken holster on his right thigh with a kunai pouch on his back waist. 

"Yeah, it's crazy." She said in return, before commencing her training, hitting the nearby tree with gentle fist. 

"Training should be relatively easy, since you already know how to perform a collaborative ninjutsu with the twins." Jiraiya explained, and Naruto nodded, looking over, 

"Hey where'd she go anyway?" Naruto said, the girl gone from where Hinami'd been standing, 

"I'm over here." Hinami said from over Naruto's head, her head appearing from the branch as she looked from the tree, her torso partially out of the tree, 

"I'm keeping an eye on the entire forest, besides this looks like it's gonna take a while." Hinami said 

"That's a neat trick. But you should move before the sun does." Jiraiya said and the girl looked over, before nodding and returning inside the tree before stepping from the shadows of the trunk, after they got started. 

"I can't find her anywhere." she said as she fell onto Jiraiya's lap, 

"Do you mind. Trying to nap here." He said, 

"Yep, don't care. How are we going to find this crazy broad if the forest doesn't even know where she is." Hinami said quietly and Jiraiya hummed in response, 

"Well, we know she isn't in the forest, so that helps. It means she's probably in a dead forest or something." Jiraiya said in response and the girl nodded in return.

"I'm gonna go find the others see if we can come up a plan." Hinami said and Jiraiya nodded looking towards her a moment, 

"Hey. so that crazy broad, she doesn't seem exceptionally smart. Ooh do you guys have a plan?" Hinami said in question, hanging above Sasuke, Hashirama's, and Shinki's heads, Sasuke looking up towards the girl, her black hair floating down, before she jumped from the shade of the tree, landing on Hashirama's back, the man glancing back towards her, 

"Come onnnn, I can't find her anywhere in the forest or anything, so I figured since you guys faced her before, you'd have some ideas, so do you?" She questioned still on Hashirama's back, holding onto his shoulders as to not fall on her ass. 

"No, so far nothing's worked, have you come up with something?" Sasuke asked, looking towards her and the girl hummed a moment, before shaking her head

"Nope. She seems to have an obsession with blood and overall seems to be pretty unstable as far as her personality. She seemed like she was just toying with us before. Oh oh, but that chain thing, it was made from pure chakra, and the way she controlled it, it was like a kekkei genkai, or maybe like a kekkei tota, ooh. I bet it's like uh… streamers or maybe the Uzumaki chains" Hinami said in return, 

"Streamers? You're… gonna have to elaborate." Sasuke said in response, and Hinami looked over, 

"Well streamers can only go so far, so like from here to he--woah" Hinami began, moving her arms, Hashirama moving his in retaliation, stopping her from falling, 

"I've got you." he commented, helping her off his back, 

"Thanks… but streamers can only go for a certain distance, not only that, but the farther apart they are, the weaker they are, so maybe it's the same with her chains, also for the Uzumaki chains I'm pretty sure theres a distance limit with that too, but I don't know. Also Uncle's working on a collaboration ninjutsu with Akei and Naruto." Hinami said in response, 

"What about the storage of chakra, this will all be for naught if she absorbs all our chakra." Shinki commented, 

"Water bottle… it's like a water bottle, she can only hold so much before she overflows…" Hinami commented, 

"Do you have a plan for that?" Shinki said his brown hair sat around his head, with a white band around his forehead the facepaint off his face wearing a tan shirt with black pants, paired with a blue vest overtop, black zori on his feet 

"Uh… no." Hinami commented in return, rubbing the back of her head with a laugh, 

"I've got it, so we need to force her into overload. Essentially. Actually, that's not bad Hinami." Sasuke commented, as they sat on the ground, 

"Thanks! All this talk about streamers though, makes me wanna plan a party. Also her personality… she seems kinda um… childish?" She said in return

"We could anger her, and get her to reveal her true power." Shinki commented, and Sasuke hummed, his black hair spiked behind his head, wearing a ponytail holder in the back of his head to hold his bangs back wearing a black cloak with a black shirt and pants wearing black zori on his feet his sword on his left hip, 

"A risky move… but the only one we have at the moment." Hashirama said, his black hair was up in a japanese bun, wearing a dark red shirt with black capris pants, wearing black sandals around his feet looking towards Hinami who sat on the grass, before looking towards Shinki.

"Naruto! Akei! Mom made us some food." Hinami said the next day, as she and Shinki walked over with a basket, the two aforementioned were working hard on perfecting their ninjutsu attack, but turned at the mention of food. Naruto actually salivating, 

"Aunt Hadami's cooking is almost as good as dads ya know." Naruto said as he ran over, 

"Uncle, she said to give this to you." Hinami said and Jiraiya hummed in response taking the letter from her hands reading it before hanging his head, 'Dear Jiraiya, I heard there was a commotion at the bathhouse, your doing no doubt. If you do not see the error in your ways I will use gentle fist against you. Repeatedly. Your behavior is highly inappropriate, women go to the bathhouses to unwind same as you, and should not be subject to be violated by your insistent peeping. I am incredibly disappointed that a man of your statue is still being caught doing these childish and inappropriate things in the name of 'research'. Knock it off. Or I'll let your teammates know how you've been protecting the village in their absence. Starting with my sister in law. I hope this message has gotten across to you, Hinami tells me you three (including Naruto) are in the middle of an escort mission so I made some food for you all to eat. As always, Hadami Senju.' is what the letter read and Jiraiya looked towards Hinami, 

"Don't look at me, all I told her was about our escort mission. She asked me to give that to you." She said in response as she and the others went through the food given. Hinami taking out the onigiri, passing one to Shinki who took it, the filling was pickled plums, which added a sour aspect to the food. 

"You got the note of shame. Hahaha oh man pervy sage." Naruto said and Jiraiya looked over before ruffling his hair roughly as he joked with the boy. 

"Hey! Stalkers! If you want food come get it before its gone!" Hinami yelled over to the trees, where Sasuke and Hashirama were, the two stepping out, as Hashirama laughed, 

"I was merely admiring the scenery these forests are incredible." Hashirama said, 

"Yeah… well here. It's onigiri." Hinami said in response, looking over towards the man a moment, before offering the basket for them to take their picks of the food. Akei and Naruto getting right back to training right after eating, intent on popping the rubber ball with their chakra. Shinki and Hinami doing their own training to increase their speed and agility, the training continued for three days straight. With no sign of the strange woman from before.
