Battle Royale pt 4: Naren Uzumaki vs. Hinata Hyuuga

“N…Naren-chan,” said Hinata. “I’ve wanted to ask you.” Hinata twittled her fingers.
“What’s that Hinata-chan,” asked Naren, smiling at the purple haired girl. Naren had become really good friends with Hinata, but, like Naruto, was completely oblivious to Hinata’s feelings for her brother.
“Um…well….I…” stuttered Hinata, blushing. “Never mind…I…It’s not important.”
“Ok, if you say so,” shrugged Naren. “Get ready Hinata-chan.” Naren got in her peculiar battle stance, holding her left hand with two fingers pointed out and her other hand clutched into a fist. Hinata nodded and got in her own battle stance.
“Naren-chan,” said Hinata, “How long have you been in Konoha?” Naren was taken aback by the suddenness of the question. She relaxed only slightly.
“About a year, not counting when I was little,” said Naren. “Why?”
“Have you ever fought with a Hyuuga before, Naren-chan?” asked Hinata.
“Can’t say I have, Hinata-chan,” said Naren. She tensed herself again. “But now is a good time as any.” She smiled.
“Y…yes,” said Hinata, smiling back. “BYAKUGAN!” Within seconds the two good friends were throwing fist and dodging each other’s attacks. Naruto couldn’t help but be amazed at the two girls speed. When he had fought against Neji, he’d had to resort to using a little kyuubi chakra to even continue the battle. He smiled. He was actually glad that Naren was fighting with Hinata. It was kind of nostalgic. Hopefully, he thought with a laugh, she will continue on the tradition of winning against a Hyuuga.
“JYUKEN!” yelled Hinata. Naren went to jump out of the way, but was too late. Hinata hit Naren in the leg.
“GYAAA!” screamed Naren as she fell to the ground.
“NAREN!?” Naruto screamed. He made to jump out of the balcony, and go running to his sister’s aid. “No, Naruto!” said Tsunade, taking his arms and holding them back. “This is Naren’s fight!”
“NAREN!” Naruto screamed again, but he didn’t try to go anywhere. He wouldn’t be able to anyway. Tsunade had an amazing grip on his arms. They were beginning to hurt. “Let me go.” He said. Tsunade hesitated, then let go. Naruto stayed, but he began shaking with worry.
Naren looked up at her brother. His blue eyes were filled with worry. Tsunade had a hand on his shoulder, as if ready to hold him if he tried to come down. Clutching her leg and breathing hard, Naren smiled up at Naruto and winked, letting him know that she was ok.
“Naren-chan,” said Hinata. “I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, Hinata-chan,” said Naren, standing up. She put most of her weight on her right leg while the other she held gingerly, only letting her toes touch the ground. “We’re supposed to attack each other like that.” She smiled.
‘Okami-san, can you heal it,’ Naren asked her demon, Okamiyasha. Unlike Naruto, Naren and Okamiyasha were friends, because both knew they were stuck with each other and had decided to make the best of it.
‘Give me a minute, Naren-chan,’ said Okami. Naren felt a small tingle in her leg. She gingerly put some weight on her leg. It still felt sore. ‘You can move your leg, but I’m afraid the chakra flow to it has been stopped. To get it back, you would have to use some of my chakra. Do you want to do that?'
‘Yes,’ said Naren. ‘But only in my leg. I don’t want to use your chakra for fighting unless I absolutely have to, Okami-san.’
Naren closed her eyes. She gritted her teeth. She could feel Okami’s chakra in her leg and it wasn’t exactly a pleasant feeling. When it was over, Naren put her full weight on her leg. I didn’t hurt at all.
“N…Naren-chan,” stuttered Hinata. “You shouldn’t put your weight on your leg like that. It’s too…” Naren had disappeared from the spot she was standing in.
“Were you gonna say weak, Hinata-chan?” whispered Naren in Hinata’s ear. Hinata yelped and jumped a little. “When did you…?” she squeaked.
“That doesn’t matter,” said Naren, smiling. “This move will end it.”
Naren made seven different hand signs behind Hinata’s back. Hinata saw every one of them and tried to get out of the way fast. They were the same signs Naruto had made when he blew Kiba into the wall.
“I know what you’re thinking, Hinata-chan, but don’t jump to conclusions,” laughed Naren. “Ready or not!”
“FUUTON, YASHA KAZE! (Wind style, demon wind)” Naren held a hand to her mouth and blew. Unlike when Naruto used the Daitoppa jutsu, the wind from Naren’s jutsu took the shape of a giant wolf. It wrapped itself around Hinata, blowing her hair all around her.
“Had enough, Hinata-chan?!” asked Naren, screaming over the sound of the wind. Hinata struggled against it, but the wind wolf gripped her all the tighter.
“Naren-chan! You win! Make it let me go!” Naren put to fingers in front of her face and said, “Yameru (stop)”, and the wind wolf disappeared, howling. Hinata fell to the ground gasping.
Tsunade and Naruto jumped down from the balcony. The chakra the wolf had used to heal Naren’s leg, was taking its toll on her. Naruto caught her as she began to fall. Hinata whispered in Tsunade’s ear and Tsunade nodded.
“Winner, Naren Uzumaki!” the stadium cheered as loud as it had when Naruto won.
Naren smiled. “I’m glad,” she said, and she passed out smiling.
“Good job, Imouto,” said Naruto. He situated Naren so that she was on his back and jumped back into the balcony. He laid her against the wall. Not a few minutes later, Tsunade, Sakura, and Hinata had joined them.
“Will she be ok, baachan?” asked Naruto.
“She’ll be fine Naruto,” said Tsunade.
“Yeah, she’s just tired,” said Sakura. Hinata sat down beside her unconscious friend and took her hand. “I’m sorry, Naren-chan. I didn’t mean to hurt you like that.”
“It wasn’t your fault Hinata,” said Naruto. “Using her demon chakra like she did just tires her out. Don’t worry.” He smiled at Hinata. Hinata didn’t say anything. Her face turned beet red. Naruto-kun, she thought, he’s so close to me! I... Hinata fainted.
“Eh, Hinata?” said Naruto. “Hinata? Are you ok? Hinata?” Everyone else just laughed. Except Sakura, that is.
