(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Hentai F/M - Naruto X Konan / Hinata / Tayuya
Last Time:
With that question answered as cryptically as possible the bird flew off with the three code creators in tow …
XXXXXXXXXX
"So this is where he died." Shino said quietly as he viewed the collapsed area that was once the forest above the ROOT compound. "His insects didn't live long enough to tell us much."
Naruto nodded as he patted the fake bird that perched on his shoulder, "Hiruzen set off explosives to collapse what was left of the compound though … considering what I saw on the tape … I doubt there was too much that would've stayed standing even without the help of bombs." He said as he smelled the tiniest amount of explosives that remained even after all these years.
Shino touched the ground letting a little beetle climb across his skin, "His insects came to us that day after he was killed. That's the only reason we knew he died. "
"I know Torune loved his family, but I doubt he mentioned me." Naruto said casually as he thought back fondly on the former ROOT agent he also considered a brother.
"You're correct," Shino said as he calmly watched the beetle, "Torune did mention there was a ROOT agent that I mostly likely will know one day because he is my age, but he never said who. When his last few weak insects came … we thought everyone died, but his insects did manage to tell us 'the little one lived' before they died too. I assumed that meant the ROOT agent he told me was about my age lived … when Hinata and Shikamaru suspected Sasuke and Sakura of certain hidden agendas I just took advantage."
Naruto chuckled, "That was clever … Torune taught you the code we use, didn't he?"
Shikamaru shook himself out of the stunned daze he and Hinata have been in since seeing their blonde classmate at the place behind a waterfall, which was where the 'bird' took them, "Wait, we never saw you or any code-" He and Hinata's jaws dropped and Hinata fished out some of their photos. "The beatles on the leaves." He deadpanned feeling stupid for not seeing it earlier. In every photo there was a scattering of insects. He didn't know the code, but it was clear that was the means of writing the message.
"Yes. Torune taught me how to use the code with insects too." Shino said beforehand glancing at Shikamaru, "Problem?" He asked noticing the looks Hinata was giving both him and Naruto.
"How?" She asked before finally settling her puzzled gaze on the blonde.
"How what? Please be more clear." Shino remarked as he adjusted his glasses.
Hinata frowned and tore her eyes away from Naruto to look at Shino in annoyance, "You said this Torune never told you who the agent was so how did you know it was Naruto and not anyone else? You must've known."
"I didn't know until today." Shino said bluntly.
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "But you said he was family."
"And he is. I only needed to know that my brother cared for him to consider him family. As for why I didn't think either Sasuke or Sakura were the one I wanted … put simply, a ROOT agent wouldn't be so obvious." Shino said almost sounding amused.
Naruto looked around and gestured for everyone to follow him, "You mean the flinching." He said knowingly getting a nod from the bug ninja.
Hinata sighed with a nod, "Sasuke stopped flinching for a little bit … he seemed too comfortable, but it suddenly disappeared the next day like it never happened. You actually call that obvious enough to rule out them as ROOT agents?" She said in disbelief getting a sharp nod from Shino.
"Yeah Sasuke never would've slipped if he had my training ... they became friends the day before. I told them to try and act exactly like they'd normally would in public, but I apparently needed to give Sasuke some acting lessons … we need to hurry, the nightly patrol is starting soon." Naruto said as he as he lead them deep into the Backhillls.
"Where are we going? … and where is Sasuke and Sakura? The thing popped and the bird took use to you … a surprising discovery … no offense, I just never expected you …" Shikamaru said sheepishly.
"I'll take that as a compliment … my jiji trained me well." Naruto frowned at the nearly suspicious looks that came to Hinata and Shikamaru's faces.
It wasn't a big surprise though since he hasn't explained anything beyond telling Shino about Torune. The simple fact that the bird lead Hinata, Shino and Shikamaru to him proved that Sasuke and Sakura were connected. After all, Sakura told them to follow the bird, but as far as they know the 'jiji' he mentioned was the hokage since his goofy persona refers to the hokage as jiji. Shino, however, knew of ROOT and probably assumed it wasn't what it sounded like, which to someone who knew nothing about what's going on it'd sound like Naruto was on the hokage's side. That, of course, couldn't be farther than the truth.
"The jiji you're thinking of is not the hokage. I can't very well go around calling him by anything that doesn't imply total trust and, believe me, he needs to think I'm under his control." Naruto said, guiding through the trees from the ground since the couldn't race through the treetops yet. That's just not taught until after being given genin teams or if you meet a ROOT agent, whichever comes first ...
The waterfall was heard rumbling in the distance and became visible only moments later. Of course, interests were peeked when the ROOT agent stepped behind the curtain of water, but did not come out. Curiosity made them follow suit and they spotted Naruto just standing there. The blonde smiled and poked the seal on the stone wall making the door suddenly open sending the three unsuspecting teens sprawling to the compound's floor.
"Fucking hell-" Hinata started to snap after hitting the floor, but stopped and stared at the compound she tumbled into not realizing Naruto was looking at her in shock himself. He didn't expect the normally timid girl to swear. Granted Naruto saw moments that made him think she had a temper, but that a slip of the tongue was not expected.
"What is this place?" Shikamaru asked stunned by the large complex hidden so nicely behind a waterfall. His eyes widened, "wait, you didn't answer my question. Where are Sa-" before he could finish the question, he heard a little snore coming from the couch in the living room just next to them.
Naruto casually followed as they went to quietly find the snoring. It was a fox. The fox was sprawled out on its comfy cushions. It just so happens the cushions were a deeply sleeping Sasuke and Sakura …
"They fell asleep the second they sat down. I tried to get them to bed, but this one decided to sit on them and refused to move." Naruto whispered, shooting the fox a mock angry look before smiling and petting the red fur making the fox stretch in sleepy state and flick its tail in a sleeping Sasuke's face. Sasuke was too tired to do anything beyond twitching his nose.
Hinata smiled, "They look so tired."
Naruto nodded, "They pushed themselves too hard to get here on time. Seeing you guys was important. Would you like some tea?"
"Sure, but Hinata and I can't stay long. My parents will get worried if we aren't back in an hour." Shikamaru said, feeling a little disappointed that he couldn't stay longer.
Before Naruto could say he understood, Shino spoke, "I sent my insects out to my father. His insects have arrived before we entered the waterfall and he wants all the details." Shino's cheeks flushed a little at the amused look Naruto sent him and realized he didn't ask Naruto first before giving away sensitive information, "I'm sorry-"
"Don't be. I know how the Aburame clan works. Torune told me it was almost a hive like mentality. Your insects keep you in sync for the most part and your father no doubt has been as curious as you about the sole survivor." Naruto said understandingly as he guided them to the kitchen to start some tea. "What's you're father's opinion of all this?"
Shino look visibly mad. His fist clenched and he was shaking slightly, "We … we knew something was wrong here. The hokage wasn't what we thought the source of our unease was … until Torune. He was bound by his ROOT oath so he couldn't just tell us, but he left us hints each time we saw him in the two weeks leading up to his passing." He calmed down slightly and turned to Hinata and Shikamaru, "My father wants us all on the same page so he went to your parents, Shikamaru, and as far as anyone knows you're sleeping over at my house."
"Thanks, man." Shikamaru sighed in relief before looking seriously at Naruto, "So, what now?"
"Dinner." Naruto chuckled at the deadpanned looks he got in return, "Hey, give me a break! I just got back too! Sure, I'm awake, but I'm exhausted too, you know!"
Hinata blushed sheepishly, along with Shino and Shikamaru, "Sorry, we didn't even think about that!"
The ROOT agent shrugged it off as he poured the tea and started a quick dinner for all of them, "I hope beef stroganoff is alright." He said as he went through and started cooking.
"I don't know what that is, but it smells good … do they train with you?" Hinata asked, gesturing to the two sleeping teens.
Naruto added mushrooms to the meat as he nodded, "'Yes and you can too, but be careful on what you show-"
Hinata glared, "I know. We can't say or show anything that will reveal who we are to those who aren't trustworthy." She said sharply, making the blonde realize he hit a nerve.
"Ummm … what happened to get you disowned if I may ask?" Naruto asked and glanced at Shikamaru when she ignored him.
"Tell him, Hinata. We need to be on the same page here, right?" Shikamaru said, but also got a glare that made him flinch.
Finally, after sipping her tea and calming down for a few minutes, "She asked me what'd I'd do when I'd become leader of the clan." She said softly, making everyone stop what they were dong, which was setting the table, and listen. "Ino, I mean … we were just chatting and it went into clan business. I told her that I wanted to get rid of the Caged Bird Seal … the next day I was dragged into the main courtyard and made to fight my baby sister for the right of being the heir. I would never hurt Hanabi so, I let her win … but the weird thing was that my father …" she paused to wipe away a tear, "my dad told me how they found out about my opinion of the seal and that Inoichi Yamanaka tried to save me, but never mentioned Ino. I knew something was wrong ..." She said with anger lacing tone.
Naruto started scooping out the food, "Inoichi is just as bad as the hokage and on that man's side. I can't say for if Ino intended to blab, but there's a way to find out without changing your actions in school."
"How?" Hinata asked dying for a chance to learn of the Yamanaka's secrets and do to her what she did, knowingly or not, to her. She knew the bitch didn't feel bad. After all, she never apologized…
"We need to get on the right genin teams." Naruto said.
A simple plan requiring only a two year wait ...
