Naruto: A New Perspective

Chapter 13

"This is stupid!" Naruto hissed, "Why are we hiding? We can just go and beat him up! There's three of us!"

"He's a Hyuuga, dumbass." Ino whispered back, "You know they're really tough!"

"Luckily he doesn't seem to be using his bloodline," Shikamaru added, "Otherwise he would know where we are for sure."

"I already know." The Hyuuga called over to them, and the three genin froze, how did he know? His bloodline was deactivated!

"Don't worry; I'll distract him with my womanly charms!" Ino said quickly, sauntering out of the bush.

Naruto looked at Shikamaru, "I didn't know Ino had womanly charms."

Shikamaru groaned, "She doesn't. Get ready."

"Should I call my clone in?"

"Not yet, stick to the plan."

Ino smiled seductively, but to her surprise the Hyuuga didn't even blush. 'He's even more stoic than Sasuke!'

"Hey," She purred, running a finger across his chest, "Forget about my teammates and come have some fun with me."

"Don't touch me."

'Is he gay or something?'

"Come on," Ino insisted, "It'll be-"

Before she could finish, a flash of orange and yellow came out of nowhere and sent a flying kick at Neji. The Hyuuga dodged out of the way quickly, and suddenly Naruto was standing in his place, facing him.

"Give us your scroll!" Naruto yelled, Neji still didn't have his bloodline activated so he shouldn't notice...

"Why would I do that?" Neji smirked, "Weaklings like you... you should just get out of here before I take your scroll."

"Why should we leave?" Naruto replied with a smile, "You're the one who can't even move."

Neji scoffed, but tried to move... and found he couldn't. He strained his eyes to look down and saw dark black shadow leading off his own, in his periphery he could now see a third genin in the bushes, the Nara.

"Shadow Imitation Jutsu..." Neji growled, "Let me go now!"

"I don't think so." Shikamaru drawled, "Ino, check him for the scroll."

Ino gave Neji a wink before patting down his person, "Gladly."

The Yamanaka girl quickly found the scroll in a baggy pocket, "It's the Earth scroll, which means we're done!"

Neji was trying his hardest to break free of the technique that had bound him, but he wasn't having much luck. "You can't hold me forever, you'll have to let go... then I'll take both scrolls from you!"

"I don't think so." Shikamaru responded, "Naruto?"

"Right! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Suddenly over fifty clones appeared; ten dove and tackled Neji, holding him down. The technique broke its hold on him when they did, but by the time he was able to wrestle free of the annoying blonds, his attackers were gone. In their place were a lot of solid clones, Neji cursed at his own foolishness as he began to fight them off, if he hurried he would be able to track the three who had took the scroll, no doubt they would head to the tower.

Growling, Neji began to attack the clones furiously, they wouldn't escape him!

Things weren't going so well for Team 7. They had managed to make it halfway to the tower, but then they were attacked by a lone Rain ninja who apparently thought they would be easy to beat.
