2018 Halloween Special- Part 4

*Here's part 4! It was getting too long, so this 4th part will not be the final. I hope you're enjoying this special arc. It's non-canon to the story, except for a few little tidbits. Thanks for reading and supporting me. Happy Halloween!*

Neji watched the group enter the building and he turned in the direction Natsumi had indicated. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them quickly. "Byukugan!"

His gaze intensified and he scanned the area until he recognized Natsumi's form. The technique that made her invisible cloaked her in an even layer of Chakra covering her body to reflect light and even altered the appearance of her Chakra. Her figure appeared fragmented, like stained glass, and blurred her form enough to make it difficult to pinpoint her Chakra points.

"This is a highly advanced technique... I've never heard of such a technique existing before..." His gaze followed her through the hallways as she stepped lightly with cautionary precision as multiple ANBU guards passed by her without detecting her presence. Taking a catlike stance, she followed the path and entered one of the vaults without drawing the attention of a single guard. "She's on an entirely different level than Naruto. It's difficult to believe that they are twins."

After several minutes of searching the room, Natsumi retrieved a small box from a low shelf and opened it. She examined its contents, reading a scroll contained within, and then returned it to the box. She cautiously retraced her steps, exiting the underground chamber and made her way back to the original meeting spot.

Still invisible, she reached out to poke Neji's cheek, though he scowled and knocked her hand away.

"Cheater." Natsumi giggled and became visible once more, smiling as she held the small box with one hand, resting it against her hip. Her eyes wandered over to the door of the public archives and Neji's sight returned to normal. "Huh. I didn't expect them to take this long."

She sighed and set the box gently down on the ground, then pulled off her wig and headband, muttering to herself. "Man, this thing gets really hot and itchy, ya know." Shaking her head, her hair fell down to her shoulders. Then she pulled a small case from a pocket, plucked out the red contact from her left eye, carefully stored it inside its case, and returned it to the pocket as she blinked.

"That's better." She muttered. "I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable."

Finally, she unzipped the flak jacket and let out a breath, putting her hands on her hips. "How does anyone wear this all the time? It's too hot."

She caught Neji watching her from the corner of her eye and crossed her arms over her chest as she blushed.

"Did you wait out here for me just to peep?!"

His eyes widened slightly, then he scowled and turned away, remaining silent.

"Hmph. Closet pervert." Natsumi muttered and her gaze lingered on him for a moment, then she let out a breath and sat cross-legged in front of the box, removed its lid, and began to sort through its contents. Reading the first scroll she picked up, her expression turned serious as she concentrated. After a moment, she glanced back up at the Hyuga.

"You could sit down and help me go through this before they finish up, ya know."

He blinked and his cheeks warmed slightly at her blunt address, then, after a moment, he relented and sat silently, retrieving a second scroll from the box and began to read it.
