Lost in Time

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

Chapter 1- The beginning

Hinata didn't know why she was doing this, she didn't even love him anymore. Oh right, because Sakura would blame Hinata for her boyfriend's death, and he was her best friend.

Hinata jumped in front of Naruto, her back facing him, and her chest taking the full brunt of the attack.

Tsunade had sent the Konoha 11 on an B-class mission, turned S-class, to find and take down a mysterious man who was threatening to attack Konoha.

The Konoha ninja were fighting hard, most of them had dropped from chakra exhaustion. The only nin standing were Naruto, Sakura, Lee, Neji, Sai, Tenten, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino and Hinata.

The man knew many jutsu, and seemed to not have lost any chakra at all. He figured out quickly that Naruto was the strongest out of all of them, so he decided to take him out and kill the rest swiftly.

What he hadn't counted on happening is Hinata jumping in front of Naruto and taking the hit herself.

Hinata fell to the ground, Neji shouted her name and rushed to her side, he called Sakura over, the medic-nin ran to Hinata's side and placed her hands over her chest. Hinata's ribs were obviously broken and caved in, Sakura noticed the major damage done to her lungs when her rib cage collapsed.

Naruto has noticed the grim expression on Sakura's face as she tried to heal Hinata, he couldn't take it, he let go and the Kyuubi took over.

Sakura looked at Neji and shook her head. There was nothing she could do, Hinata was gone. Neji felt time stop, his imouto was gone, he took her for granted and now she was gone.

Sakura looked towards Naruto's battle and found that the Kyuubi made quick work of the mysterious man, but was now on a full rampage.

She turned towards Sai and yelled "Sai! Send a messenger bird to Yamato! Hurry!" Sai nodded and opened his scroll, he quickly drew a bird and whispered 'Super Beast Scroll' and the bird came to life, it flew swiftly towards Konoha to retrieve Yamato-heichou.

Neji grabbed Hinata's corpse and jumped out of the way of one of the six tails that had sprouted from Naruto's body. Each nin grabbed an unconscious comrade, placing them somewhere safe, they then jumped towards Naruto, trying to hold him down until Yamato came.

-Time skip-

When Yamato got to the battle site, only Sai, Neji, and Lee were still standing. Yamato quickly restrained Naruto with his wood style, when the chakra dispersed from Naruto's body, he was unconscious and covered in burns.

The remaining nin picked up their unconscious comrades and began heading in the direction of Konoha, Sai drew some birds and took the seriously injured to the village quicker. Neji looked at Hinata's lifeless face as he walked alongside Yamato and Lee.

Tears threatened to fall from his pale eyes, but he refused to show his weakness. Neji closed his eyes and sighed shakily, for some reason Hinata's body felt as if it were getting lighter and lighter. His eyebrows knitted together, but he refused to open his eyes, it was most likely a trick of the mind, until he heard Lee's voice. "N-Neji, look! Hinata-sama's body!" Neji growled and thought Lee was being a pervert. Neji opened his eyes, about to give Lee a refresher on how a gentle fist felt, but he saw Lee's expression and looked down at Hinata's corpse.

His grey eyes widened in shock, Hinata's body was becoming transparent and disappearing quickly. Neji activated his Byakugan and saw that it was the jutsu that she took the full brunt of, her body disappeared fully and Neji couldn't see where her body went.
