Last Time:
'I'm on it.' Guren said almost too eagerly and the evil snicker made Naruto feel sorry for Hinata ...
XXXXXXXXXX
Hinata sighed as she finished setting up her campsite, "It's done … this'll be my first mission alone …" She felt her chest constrict as a wave of anxiety hit her, but she tried to literally shake the feeling away. "No. I have to do this. I will do this."
After a few deep calming breaths she set out to see what she could learn about Naruto. To start, she decided to go check the apartment where Naruto lived. However, she decided to go through the village under a henge as Naruto instead of taking the forest path that Naruto used before. It was a decision she instantly regretted …
"You! Stay away from the hokage grandson's home!" A civilian screamed the second Hinata dropped down from the roofs she was jumping across to walk the little segment of land. You see, there was a section of land between the edge of the village and the area that was destroyed by Kurama. This section was devoid of trees and houses so even a ninja had to cross on foot. It just so happens a few villagers took it upon themselves to guard the edge to watch out for the 'demon' and that Konohamaru was safe. The long forest path Naruto showed them before was the only way for him to get through without trouble.
The henged Hinata ducked a rock thrown at her and bolted across the bare section. Just before she got to the tree line she felt something sharp zip passed her head. She pushed herself to move faster and was soon out of range.
"What was that all about?" Hinata gasped as she tried to catch her breath. She dropped the henge and looked back over her shoulder to watch the civilians. "What did they mean? … the hokage' s grandson?" Hinata frowned and looked in the direction of what she thought was Naruto' s home.
Curiosity lead her back to the same building she visited before and she looked at the building. She activated her Byakugan and searched the building from a safe distance. Each room of the former apartment building was cleaned up and repaired, but it was clearly only for structural purposes. Everything had insulation, exposed drywall and the pipes were turned off except Naruto's apartment. In fact, everything was cleaner than the last time.
That's where Naruto screwed up …
After Team 8 left Konohamaru's home Naruto sent a clone to return everything back where it was. As an added bonus, and a thank you, the clone did some more cleaning and repairs in the rest of the building. You can imagine the problem …
Everything in the apartment was completely different than what Hinata saw the first time. Granted Konohamaru wasn't there for he was still passed out at Naruto's real home, but it didn't matter since everything from the photos to clothes were back in their rightful places. It was all there for Hinata's all seeing eyes to see and it stunned her.
"When did Naruto change everything back? Actually … when did he set it up for us to see in the first place? We didn't leave him much time coming or going … unless he's working with the hokage' s grandson." Hinata pondered all these questions, but one bothered her more than the others … why? Why would Naruto bring them to a fake home?
It was very puzzling. As Hinata pondered what reasons Naruto, who didn't seem to lie to them, for doing this her mind wandered over back to her rather harsh encounter with the civilians. She was wearing a henge so they thought she was Naruto. Kiba said he saw a slew of hateful stares at Naruto and the civilians are good at hiding it. If she wanted answers that's where she needs to start.
This time she just went along the edge of the village snuck in through a few side streets until she was in the middle of the village. After finding a nice alley to hide in she cast a genjutsu that looked like Naruto over some of the shoppers in the busy area. She peeked out from her hiding spot to watch safely. To her horror the civilians didn't just glare hatefully. They were borderline homicidal!
"Oh god … I should write what they're saying down." She gasped and took out a little notebook she kept in her jacket and wrote down everything.
With a few genjutsus and a few location changes she had a notebook filled to the brim with the most gruesome things. From attempted murder to hateful screams the truth behind the innocent civilians' faces was all there to view, but there was no obvious motive for it. They called Naruto a demon, but why?
Hinata frowned and got ready to choose a new spot to mess with the civilians, but a hunch of dust fell on her head, "What the-" She started coughing and her nose began running as she shook the dust off.
"Hinata? Are you really sick? Why didn't you tell me?!"
A very scared Hinata looked up to see her father running over to her.
"No, I'm fine!" She yelped and tried to look fine, but whatever that dust was made her stuffed up, sound like her throat was sore and flushed. She looked and sounded like a person suffering with a bad cold.
Hiashi rushed forward faster than Hinata could get away and touched her forehead, "Someone told me they heard you were sick and not on the mission you told me you were going on with your team, but I didn't believe them until now. You have a fever! Come on! We're going home and you're going to bed. I'll have a stern talk with your sensei about this! She should've told me instead of letting you … what were you doing?"
"I errrr …" Hinata gulped, she couldn't say she was investigating Naruto. "I was training-"
"In your condition?! Home now!" To prevent any arguments Hiashi threw her over his shoulder and took her away unfortunately making her drop her notebook.
Before any civilian could see the book Guren picked it up, "That'll keep her busy for a while." She smirked as she jumped away.
Hiashi was always a calm, but ever since his wife became sick and died years ago he's been extra vigilant of his daughters' health. If he so much as thinks he hears a sniffle he's panicking. The dust a Guren tossed on Hinata replicated flu and cold symptoms. It won't last long, but Hisahi won't let her out of his sight for a while.
She was right to go straight to Hiashi right after warning Naruto that she saw a Hinata playing with genjutsus. Hinata didn't know it, but each time she stirred up the civilians she was making everything for Naruto more dangerous. It's going to be too dangerous to come right back as it was.
"With that problem out of the way let's see how bad the damage is." Guren didn't even slow down as she looked through the notebook. "Damn … she has a lot on the civilians, but …"
Of course, Guren already knew that Naruto used Konohamaru's home as a cover. It was an easy conclusion make when they found her going around the village from the direction of Konohamaru's apartment. Looking on the bright side, however, Guren was pleased to see Hinata didn't try finding Naruto's new home and she had no clue why the civilians act the way they do. Now Naruto just has to be careful on his end ...
XXXXXXXXX
Naruto frowned as they stopped to camp for the last time before getting to their destination, (Pelidnota … I know I heard that before. Kurama told me about that village … let's see, I think it was an herbalist type and very powerful. There something about insects! I remember singing the tongue twister Kurama told me … pollen peppering of pretty purple posies poses petals. I remember him talking about a pollinating ritual, but not much else. Come to think of it that was the only non ninja village Kurama didn't gush about.)
"Hey Naruto! Would you like to start the meal-"
Kurenai shook her head, " Naruto shouldn't cook every meal, Kiba!"
"I don't mind. Besides, we're almost there." Naruto chuckled.
Secretly he had another reason to want to cook for Team 8 and that was Shino. He didn't understand what was so funny about Shino liking sushi until he made some and it's very cute. Shino doesn't just love sushi and shrimp, but he has a love so strong he actually subconsciously orders his insects to steal from other peoples' plates! Even as Naruto started making the meal he noticed the insects creeping closer to get ready to pounce and get the first treat to Shino. Shino, quite adorably by the way, looked only mildly embarrassed about his insects' actions.
"Ok … we'll be there with only a two hour walk. I say we wake up very early and get there once the sun comes up." Kurenai mused out loud grabbing her meal before Shino's insects could get to it.
Kiba actually had to catch his meal because Naruto threw it to keep the insects off it, "Thanks, man. Now why do we have to get there so early?" Kiba asked curiously.
Kurenai sighed, "We want to show that we respect their schedules and that we'll come at an early hour instead of late."
Naruto twitched as a team of insects made off with his shrimp roll even though Shino had a full plate of his own, "Makes sense. We can't expect to be seen right away or at all, but at show we're determined to wait our turn." Naruto smirked at Shino when he saw that another shrimp from his plate was gone, "Need any more?" Shino just blushed didn't look at that sorry.
Despite the sushi and shrimp theft they went to their tents with full stomachs and by the morning they were ready for the last leg of their trip. They had everything set and walked casually down the path towards Pelidnota. Kurenai was tense for those few hours. She expected to be caught like the many other ninjas before them, but nothing happened. It wasn't long before they were safely coming towards beautiful gate that were lined with every vine of flower imaginable.
"They like insects here so maybe Shino should lead from this point on." Naruto said as the gates opened to let them in and he quickly regretted it.
"How do you know?" Kurenai asked curious as to why Naruto would be so confident about something like that when no ninja has ever been here before.
Naruto mentally smacked himself. He couldn't tell them that a demon told him stories of places all over the world so he did what he was good at … thought up an excuse. "The bee boxes." He said and pointed to a thing that looked like a bird house with hundreds of bees going in and out of it. If he wasn't looking carefully for an excuse he might've missed it.
Kiba blinked, "Wow … good eyes. I didn't even notice." Akamaru barked cheerfully and a vein on Kiba's forehead swelled in anger. "Hey! What do mean that's no surprise? I'm observant, dammit!"
Kurenai chuckled and looked at Naruto as Kiba continued arguing with his canine companion, "I'm glad to see that your glasses are helping." She commented and gave Shino a nod silently giving him the reins.
"Welcome to Pelidnota! How can I help you?" The one guard off to the side asked as the other guards remained at their posts.
Shino nodded as he pondered how to word what he wanted to say, "Yes. We're ninjas from Konoha-"
The guard gaped, "Ninjas huh … no offense, but I expected a ruder encounter from ninjas."
"Understandable." Shino commented, while adjusting his glasses he let a few insects crawl out of his sleeve. The action seemed to intrigue the guard and it seems Naruto was right again. "I'm Shino Aburame from the insect using clan in Konoha. My team and I are here to ask for a treaty. Is there a way we can speak to someone about that? We're happy to wait until it's convenient." He said politely leaning on the insect appreciation by releasing a few more beetles.
"Normally I'd say to wait …" The guard sighed as a beetle landed on his hand. "The Red Admiral is usually taking the day off on Sundays, but I'm sure he'd like to meet you. Please, follow me."
They followed the guard all the way to the lobby of a large hive shaped building filled with busy people and that's where the guard asked them to wait. The guard only left for a few minutes and, much to their excitement, they were told that they could meet the Red Admiral! That's when they were escorted to the large screened in gazebo behind the building.
In the middle of the flower filled gazebo was an old man sipping some tea and watching a caterpillar spin its chrysalis. The old man wore brown robes with a think black stripe speckled with white spots along the bottom. The back had a large orange print of a butterfly. It was an interesting ensemble, but the ninjas knew not to comment on it. They remained silent until they were spoken to.
Just by chance Shino saw a leaf from a dry milkweed stalk break taking a chrysalis and caterpillar down to the floor. The insect user released a few insects and had them pick up the caterpillar. With great care the beetles set the caterpillar gently on a fresher milkweed plant. The beetles then took the chrysalis off the dead leaf and Altadena it to the rafters which was apparently where all the chrysalises are moved to. Only then did the old man look at them.
The Red Admiral eyed Shino, "Go through the Pollen ritual and you have your treaty." Shino nodded. "Pick a second and only you two will come with me."
Considering Naruto has had a lot of great intuition so far Shino immediately turned to the blonde, "Naruto, would you like to join?" Naruto nodded politely and the two ninjas followed the Red Admiral to a shrine deep in the forest.
The second Naruto walked in that shrine he realized two things. One, that Kurama never said much about this village because it wasn't something you tell a child. Two, he remembered that there was another word in the tongue twister he didn't recall until now … Perverted Pollen Peppering of Pretty Purple Posies Poses Petals ...
