The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 53 Akatsuki Attacks The Sand

Naruto upon hearing Shuichi’s defection was stunned for while and shouted “Why? I can understand Sasuke as he was intent on killing his brother Itachi but why does Shuichi leave the village? What he has done that Grandma Tsunade marked him as a missing-nin?”.

Shikamaru shook his head “We don’t know the exact details but according to the rumours and some facts, Yakumo and Sai were killed by their sensei Danzo and he avenged them. probably he killed an elder, he runs away?. No one knows. After all, to this date, their bodies weren’t found.

But, according to root, a subdivision of Anbu, Danzo was dead 2 years ago as cursed seal on their tongue is gone. and many Anbu saw Shuichi carrying Yakumo’s dead body at that mass genjutsu incident”.

Naruto was confused “root? cursed seal? mass genjutsu incident?”. Sakura sighed “forget it”. Naruto asked, “Where is Hinata?”. Sakura replied, “She’s probably at the hospital”.

Naruto got worried “what? why? what happened? Is she alright?”. Shikamaru replied, “She retired as a ninja. She’s a doctor at Konoha hospital now”.

naruto was again shocked “I’ve only gone for 2 and a half years. why in the hell did everyone changed so much?”. Kiba snorted “you are the only one who hasn’t changed”.

Naruto said goodbye to them and went to the hospital. While he was looking around he found a girl wearing a white coat with white eyes, dark blue hair which reaches her lower back and the framing strands grow to shoulder-length. “wow, never thought Hinata would grow this beautiful”.

When noticed his presence, She turned towards him and was surprised to see him again “Naruto kun?”.

a few minutes later,

While they were walking together, Naruto spoke: “Woah, you changed a lot compared to back then especially you look more beautiful now”. She shyly replied “really? well…Naruto kun also changed much. you’ve grown taller”.

a while later, he asked “say, Hinata. I’m confused now. why did you retire from Shinobi forces and become a doctor all of a sudden? Isn’t your dream to become a strong shinobi one day and make your father proud?”.

She replied “After you went away for training, there are a lot of things happened in the village. my brother wished that I become a medical-nin but he never mentioned it to me because I never gave up.

He didn’t even meet me when he was leaving. I know how hard it must be for him. I can’t even look for him since that is his wish.

He did many things for me from the moment I was born. I wasn’t able to do anything for him. All I can do is to become a doctor for him. At first, I was doing it for my brother, but now after saving so many lives, I found that this is the right path for me”.

Naruto stared at her in awe and replied: “you really have changed”. Then he moved his face a bit close and grinned “Then I guess, I will depend on you if I ever get hurt”. Upon seeing him at a close distance, she blushed.

“Hmm, are you ok? your face and ears are red. Did you overworked at the Hospital? did you get a fever?”. he checked her temperature on her forehead. while she fainted on the spot, He immediately caught her.

“Ah! Hinata?. you ok?. Oi Hinata”.

Meanwhile, at Sunagakure

two people with black robes with red clouds walking into a secret passage of the Sand Village. One spoke “Sasori, doesn’t it seem odd to you?. I mean it was supposed to be a secret passage but there aren’t any guards”.

Sasori replied “its’ Yura. his mission was to let us safely pass through the passage. I guess he’s done his job quite smoothly”.

“It’s fishy though. but anyways, I’m finally getting a chance to show my latest creation”. Sasori snorted “nothing more than a fake art. a Fine art is something that lasts for a lifetime like my puppets”.

Deidara turned his head away “you don’t know the true meaning of art. it is something that lasts within a moment and yet gives a strong impression like mine. yours are just boring ones”.

While they are arguing, they reached the middle of the narrow passage. Suddenly, from the above on either of sides, lots of kunai and shuriken came from above.

Deidara shouted, “ambush, be careful”. they started to run forward into the village rather than going back as the rear path is even more narrow.

Sasori is deflecting the weapons with his tail while Deidara is dodging quickly and threw some clays upward. they exploded at one side and stopped the attacks for a while but instead of them, because of the explosion, few stones in big size began to fall on them.

“you moron, you want to kill us?. just don’t do anything and run”. Sasori took out a scroll and immediately two puppets appeared. They gave both of them some time to cross the passage safely.

In the end, they entered an open space and saw the village.

the two puppets of him are destroyed and Deidara was breathing heavily with few cuts here and there. He cursed “Damn it. you said that there will be no problem. Then what was that?”. Suddenly they were attacked by Sand. both of them jumped aside and dodged it finding Gaara folding his hands and floating in the air with his sand below his feet while looking at them seriously.

when Sasori took out his scroll, Deidara stopped him “No, Let me handle him”.

One hour later,

A big white clay bird had Gaara in its mouth in an unconscious state and Deidara sat on it and flew away alone while Sasori stayed behind to battle Kankuro who followed their tracks for a while.

After defeating him in battle, He didn’t kill him as he was already poisoned and has no hope to survive.

After a while, Tsunade who received the message from the Sand ordered Shizune “summon Team kakashi here”.

Temari and Team Kakashi immediately started to move when they heard the news that Sand has been attacked and Gaara was abducted by Akatsuki.

Meanwhile, at a certain place near Orochimaru’s hideout,

Orochimaru looked at the Sasuke who was looking at him indifferently “I have taught you everything I have to. It’s time you show me the results of your training thus far”.

Sasuke asked, “Are you, my opponent?”. Orochimaru shook his head “not at all”.

There are 1000 people behind Orochimaru’s back. He gestured “them”. Sasuke looked at them without any expression. Orochimaru looked at him with a fascinated expression “Oh! you don’t even fear little bit even before 1000 enemies?. let’s see how you fare”.

Orochimaru’s subordinates dashed towards him to together. Sasuke didn’t even use sharingan and began to cut all of them like tofu.

A while later, He calmly sits on one’s fallen body. Orochimaru looked at him and said “you are too soft. you didn’t even kill one of them”. He replied “I would rather kill someone worthy. not this trash. give me someone strong next time”.

Orochimaru while looking at him thought “people used to call me a genius, but at that age, I was nothing compared to him. As I thought, he is the perfect vessel”.

There’s a girl stood beside him and looking at Sasuke in shock. He spoke, “you can see now why I chose him and not you”.

Sasuke looked at him and asked “say, am I strong enough to kill Itachi now?”.

before he replies, a plant creature appeared before them. Upon seeing him, Orochimaru frowned “how did you found this place? or rather what are you doing here?”. Zetsu replied “well, it’s not my job. someone else will explain it to you”. and he threw a custom made Kunai it’s bigger than a normal kunai, there’s a seal attacked at the handle and at the head of it, a sharp short 2 inch sharp edges attached to tip while facing downwards in a slanted position on both sides.

Just when it was in the air, Shuichi appeared before them while catching it.

Guren was curious as well as wary to these new intruders who appeared suddenly. While Orochimaru was surprised to see the kunai and the person appeared as it reminded him of a certain shinobi, Sasuke was shocked to see him not because he appeared suddenly but because of the robes on him. He heard of Akatsuki dressing from Orochimaru before.

Shuichi looked coldly at Orochimaru first then turned to Sasuke “sorry but your 3 years of training ends here”.
