Broken and Abused Whats Behind The Mask

Why can't it ever go as planned?

"U-ZU-MA-KI.... huh...UZUMAKI?!!!" Kiba's loud voice had startled everyone from their concentration. He picked up a few scrolls, double-checked they all had the same symbol on them, then threw a scroll to everyone. They now each had either a random scroll thrown by Kiba or was struggling to balance 3 scrolls in their arms. 

"What is this Kiba?" Shikamaru asked intrigued.

"Those scrolls that have the Uzumaki symbol on it! So it must be connected to Naruto! It's his last name after all." 

Everyone was a little wary about opening the scrolls but were all surprised when nothing happened as they opened the scrolls. Which lead to the conclusion it must be in another unreadable language. As Shikamaru opened his scroll he saw the texts were readable.

"Orochimaru must have already opened the scrolls since there are no traps and we can read it. Good work Kiba, now let's see what we can find." Kiba seemed very proud of himself and so went to look for other possible Uzumaki scrolls with Akamaru while everyone else read the passages and passages on different kinds of sealing justus. They were now beginning to make progress and there were high hopes in the air. Shikamaru and Neji had gone through 3 scrolls, Choji had gone through 2 and Hinata had gone through 4 when she found something of interest.

"I-I think I found something!" Hinata placed her scroll on the ground excitedly so everyone was able to see. She quickly pointed to a paragraph on the left-hand side of a drawing explaining the justu and as she began to read Kiba had returned from his little scavenger hunt and knelt down beside her.

"Sealing Justu: Bunri

Hand signs-- as follows

1. Serpent

2. Horse

3. Bird

4. Rat

5. Dog

6. Monkey 

7. Ram

This justu has been passed down in our clans for centuries however it is a justu that must be used wisely. In ancient times this justu was used as a form of judgment. Those who possessed certain evils within themselves would undergo this justu in order to separate their good and bad personas. The sinful were punished for eternity in hell while those who were pure of heart would continue to live peacefully in the world. We now use this justu to separate the cursed from their unfair destinies, so that they may live a prosperous life without the influence of evil however this idea soon turned against us. Many, instead wished to use this justu to banish the good and form an army of hateful and merciless beings. We discarded this Justu from our practices therefore only our higher-ups had knowledge of this. When wished for better purposes we use this method, but we must be aware that the state of mind must be calm. If the mind is in constant trauma or stresses the evil side will force itself out exterminating the good side in the process.

Rank: S

Signed: Leader of Uzumaki clan"

Everyone was very glad they had finally found the way of saving Naruto except as always it was never as easy as getting what you need without finding out something else you need or some dangers that come with it.

"S Rank?! None of us could possibly do something this powerful! We're only genins!" Choji exclaimed slightly scared.

"What choice do we have, nothing else has proved useful!" Kiba answered back forcefully.

"We need someone with delicate chakra control. This is obviously something that can't be messed up. Meaning it's either Hinata or Neji since they both specialise in the gentle fist technique." Shikamaru stated. Hinata and Neji looked at each other for a while as if telepathically communicating on who to perform the justu. They then both looked at Shikamaru who awaited their answer.

"I-I'll do it," Hinata said quickly.

Neji looked horrified.

"Hinata-sama I cannot let you do such a dangerous thing! I am more experienced than you are! Let me do it!" Hinata shook her head, her mind already made. 

"Neji nii-san, I have to do this. It's because you are more experienced than me I must do it. If anything happens you can better protect everyone than I can and besides... I have to do it. For Naruto. I have to help him!" 

"But-"

"It's settled then." Shikamaru interrupted. Neji gave him a look almost begging him to change her mind despite his constant remarks saying he must follow Captain's orders. Shikamaru was fully aware that Hinata wasn't exactly at the high standards that Neji was at but he felt if Hinata was able to get close enough to Naruto it may just jolt his memory and enable things to go much smoother than if Neji did it.

"Time is of the essence and we can't afford to argue over this. I think you should have more faith in Hinata, cause from what I've heard she has grown a lot more than you think." Hinata smiled appreciatively however Neji was not too convinced but could not deny orders. She quickly grabbed the scroll and made her way back to the room they left Naruto and Sasuke. They all followed behind her quickly heading towards their friend. As they ran, Kiba ran next to Hinata with a worried look that immediately told Hinata what he wanted to say.

"Hinata...Are you REALLY sure about this?" Kiba was just as desperate as Neji. 

"Yes," Hinata answered as quickly but as politely as she could. She did in fact have some matter of doubt whether she could do it but could not afford to turn back now. She recalled all her past training in her missions and sessions with Neji, now thankful for Neji's strict teachings. 

"You could always change your mind Hinata. Neji could do it!" 

"But so can I. Please Kiba-Kun. Believe in me and Naruto, I promised I would save him no matter what. I don't plan on breaking any promises, because that's my ninja way." Kiba was able to see her smile and sighed knowing he could not change her mind.

"Just be careful." 

"I will" Hinata answered back confidently. They were now seconds away from the room where they could finally be able to save Naruto from the dark which he was now trapped in. The light of the room began to flicker giving the impression Sasuke was using Chiodori therefore they all picked up the pace hoping Sasuke wouldn't accidentally murder their friend in the process.

"When fear knocks on your door, send faith to answer. 

Fear is a feeling that has only the power we give it. 

You can feel fear and  still do anything you know you need to do,

even if you do 'do it afraid' "
