The Rogue Fox

Internal Conflict and The Fall of The Hyuga Main Family

Naruto looked at the moon as all his friends sleep. He was their leader, but war was coming. Could he protect them all? Three of his allies, his ninja, his family now laid dead. Danzo was going to pay and Naruto would be there when it's time for Danzo to meet his end.

"You alright?" David asked joining Naruto on the roof of their apartment building. "You need sleep Naruto."

"David," Naruto said not looking at his friend. "Am I a good leader?"

"Why would you ask that?" David asked.

"Danzo is targeting are family because of me." Naruto said. "What kind of leader leads his family into the hands of the enemy?"

"Your not a bad leader." David said. "We were all lost and you brought us together. Hal, Shisui, Nagato, Fang, Rose, me, Shay, and the rest of are family. We are all here today because of you never forget the good you've done."

"Thanks David." Naruto said. "Go back to bed. I just need a walk to clear my head."

"Be careful little brother." David said.

"What did you say?" Naruto asked surprised.

"Little Brother," David said. "We're family right, even if your the Akumakage your still my little brother."

"Thank you David." Naruto said jumping off the roof trying not to cry.

"Naruto," Kurama said. "What's wrong? I can feel your pain. You want to scream out."

"My home is being threaten." Naruto said. "I don't want anyone to die, but Danzo would see the village burn just for a damn piece of old paper."

"It's the way ninja are." Kurama said. "They let fear and hate guide themselves."

"Should I just give them the scroll?" Naruto asked.

"They  wont stop attacking." Kurama said. "Danzo sees are village as a threat. They only way to stop the attacks is to fight back."

"A fight between the foundation and the Whirlpool village could cause to many deaths in my family." Naruto said.

"Then fight alone." Kurama said. "You and I will carry the burden and die with it if we have to."

"Why can't things just be easy?!" Naruto cried out. "Why can't we ninja get along?!"

"If it was easy then it's not worth having." Kurama said. "Peace is worked for. It's not just Danzo bothering you though, is it?"

"It's everything," Naruto cried. "The villages, the fighting, my friends, family, my shitty childhood! I've kept it buried saying it doesn't bother me but it does. I'm losing everything I love. If I fight Danzo the Hokage might side with him and I lose my friends in the leaf or I don't fight and I lose my new family!" 

"Are you just going to let fate kick you in the ass?" Kurama asked. "I know you Naruto, and if anyone can change this world and still save his friends and family it's you, but you need to stay strong."

"It's so hard." Naruto said.

"Every Kage deals with it." Kurama said. "They deal with the burden of their village, their people, friends, and family. Now show the world you can do the same."

"Right," Naruto said drying his tears. "I'm the Akumakage I can't breakdown due to the presser now. I have to dry my tears and push forward."

"That's the Naruto I know." Kurama said in Naruto's head. "Now you two enjoy your walk."

"You two?" Naruto asked.

"N-Naruto?" A shy voice stuttered.

Naruto turned to see the one thing from his childhood that made him happy about it. His girlfriend, Hinata.

"Hinata," Naruto asked. "What are you doing out so late?"

"I-I needed to get a-away from my c-clan." Hinata replied.

"What did they do?" Naruto asked getting serious.

"They said I was w-weak." Hinata said. "T-they do that a l-lot so don't let it b-bother you."

"Don't let it bother me!" Naruto yelled. "I won't let anyone call the women I love weak. I don't you live with me?"

"L-live?" Hinata stuttered. "W-with y-you?"

"Yeah," Naruto said. "I won't let them hurt you."

"I c-can't," Hinata said. "I have a d-duty to my clan. I promised m-myself to end the d-division between the Main and Branch members o-of the Hyuga clan."

"If you were to accomplish this," Naruto began. "Would you come live with me in my new home village?"

"The clan p-plans to make my younger s-sister clan leader so I don't see w-why not." Hinata said.

"Alright," Naruto said. "Tomorrow we go tell your clan about you going to live with me as my wife."

"Wife!" Hinata said almost yelling. "We're still so young."

"We could die tomorrow," Naruto said. "I don't care what people say about are age. I love you Hinata Hyuga and I want you to be with me until my death."

"Naruto..." Hinata said.

"Plus we're not really getting married yet." Naruto said. "I plan to propose when I feel the time is right. I'm just going to tell your father I plan to marry you and then we can be together."

"He'll n-never allow it." Hinata said.

"Leave that to me." Naruto said. "I've been planning for this moment. Any way until tomorrow you can stay with me."

"O-okay." Hinata said.

Naruto took off his red cloak he always wore and wrapped it around Hinata. He pulled her in and planted a kiss on he forehead, then her lips.

"I love you Hinata." Naruto said.

"I love you to Naruto." Hinata said.

****************************************************

Naruto and Hinata sat in a dojo across from the Hyuga clan leaders. Most were old guys with brown hair and wrinkled faces. Hinata's father was really the youngest person among them. Naruto didn't like any of them for the way they treated Hinata.

"I'm hear to ask for Hinata's hand in marriage and to make a deal with your clan." Naruto said.

"What did you say?" An older Hyuga asked. "Hinata's hand in marriage? Absolutely not!"

"I thought you would say that." Naruto said. "So I'll make you a deal."

"A deal?" Hinata's father Hiashi asked.

"As you should all know I'm the host of the Nine Tails." Naruto said having already told Hinata before coming to the dojo. "My deal is simple and had two agreements for it. If I win the Chunin exams not only will Hinata be allowed to live with, and marry, me, but you must also never use the cage bird seal on the Branch family ever again."

"What do we get if you fail?" Hiashi asked.

"You can put the Cage Bird seal on me." Naruto said. "Think about it Hiashi. You would have the powers of the nine tail at your finger tips."

Hiashi and the other members talked a minute before agreeing. A deal was made and both sides were to honor their agreement. They had fallen for Naruto's trap. In the exams Naruto was the strongest so he could easily win. This meant the Hyuga Main Branch just lost all it's power.
