In River country with Hinata and Minato

((Only Hinata and Minato are allowed to post here. I hope you respect it.))

2 months has passed since Minato left the hidden village of leaf. It was an odd feeling among the ninja's who had grown to known this great man, it was like an huge piece of an artistic painting were ripped of. It was an incomplete feeling, something had gone missing.
Minato had chosed another life, gone and joined up with the famous organization, Akatsuki. The leaf have tryed to find Akatsuki and Minato for a long time but had give up the search. The only thing they, now, could do is to wait for Akatsuki to make a move and hopefully be there when it happends.
Just recently the leaf has gotten another opinion, they didn't like how the game were layed up between them and Akatsuki. Which led to decision to recruit undercover spies, to try to find anything which had anything to do with Akatsuki. These people who came to be a part of the International Undercover Spy (IUS) organization ((Don't laugh)), were not only high ranked ninjas but had exceptional great tracking abilities. One of this members were (well, you guessed it) Hyuuga Hinata.
((I hope I didn't break any rules by creating an organization))

Hinata is traveling by jumping on the branches. It has rained 3 days in a row but today the sun had made it's comeback. The branches are still wet and Hinata must concentrate to not to make a slip on them. She looks up and sees a mountain terrain closing up. An hostile sigh is comming out from her. The travel through the rocks and cliffs will be necassary for her to reach the village, Otakudoragon, as fast as possible. But will undeniably require more strenght and stamina to run through that merciless terrain.
She suddenly stops. She has to catch a breath. *breaths, breaths*

" Out of breath so soon ? " Minato asks her as he appears next to her. His hair wet, wet and down. He was wearing only his gloves and pants. " Its such a wonderful day, it makes me want to just sit down in the rain and stay there till it stops." Minato said giving a fake smile

Suprised of Minato's arrival, she gets scared and takes a few steps backwards. Slips!
She lost the concentration only for a second, which were enough to make her fall down.
She is falling down and hits the ground. Luckily the rain had made it soft and muddy.
"Not nice to be wet and muddy." While she finds herself sitting the mud. But at least she is unharmed. Hinata looks up and sees the man, who she knows as Uchiha Minato.
"Minato!?!?!" She finds it very suprising to see him after all this time.

" Why are you so surprised. I have not come here with intentions to kill you Hinata. i am here on some Buisness myself " Minato said as he helped her up from the mud. " I get the feeling you were trying to find me. Was it something Important ? " Placing his straw hat over his head and wearing his Duster Black Jacket.

After Minato helped Hinata up,she stubbornly tryes to stand on her own, even, thought, she obviously is still very dizzy from the fall.
"Minato-kun... you left the village of leaf... and you left us... why?" Hinata wants to remove her dizziness, but she doesn't know how. She tryes to shake her head. *shake, shake* Actually it helped a little!
"Minato-kun, why would you leave your friends?" Hinata tryes to talk him to return, even if her mission, thought, were never to engage any Akatsuki. But that wasn't her fault, it was an accidental meeting. She had to get to the village, which is behind the mountains, as fast as possible. After all the source of Akatsuki desctruction lies there. She couldn't used her Byakugan, thought, she needed all her chakra for the travel. Which led to this meeting, to the man, which is the goal of all missions.

" Somethings in life are better left untold Hinata. But let me tell you this, you the people in the leaf look around you and see a wall surrounding your village and get a feeling of safety. The will of fire has been lost. It burns no more. The ambitions of the people in the leaf, are now just dreams, left behind, thought of as impossible tasks. But my ambitions are greater than that. My ambition is to find them. Those eye's. And untill i do, i cannot return." Minato said as he ended his speech.

"Why... Akatsuki? As far as I know you, you don't need them!" Hinata's dizziness have faded but her confussion about Minato remains. She is really trying to understand him, but she refuses to understand his actions. She just can't.
"I really believe..." She puts her hand by her heart.
"...that you can make it without them. You are not like Akatsuki!" She hopes Minato will hear her. Minato used to be so kind. Hinata remembers:

Minato Uchiha wrote:

" Well i hope we all return on our feet, and not in a coffin" Minato said smiling, " Anyways, it'll be me in that coffin before i let anyone of my teamates die"

" Digging up the past are you ? Everything is not what it seems Hinata." Minato said, as he seated himself on a branch. " You are not like a Ninja Hinata, you are to kind to be a ninja, yet you ended up being one. My fate is now linked to the akatsuki. Not to mention my plan is under-motion right now. When it is complete, the entire world will feel its effects." Minato's face changing from its usual self to a more serious one.

ki apeard munching on some chips." hinata may be too kind to be a ninja, but its the ninja in her to get her this far. she went through hell to get to this spot while you took the easy road and mocked her from afar." he waslooking at the back of the chips to make sure there was no acid in it. "want one?"

" i have told you befor Lee, don't annoy me. I never took the easy road. You all must think being an Uchiha is easy huh? Just cause we have the sharingan, doesn't make us special. We are normal people as well. My entire childhood was gone in competing with my elder brother. Thats what made me strong. Its what made me learn to appreciate the little things in life. My parents died before i was old enough to learn, and my brother was a spy for Suna. I was alone, with no one to teach me.I went beyond what we may call hell to get this far. So dont talk crap about me if you dont know me." Minato said as he reached for some chips.

ki smiled. "i know how you feel. try eatin your own parents when you are just born, thrown into a monk temple went everyone thinks your a savage and having these cused eyes that make everthing so clear that y want to rip them out of your damn skull. if you find that ard enough, think of not being human, not alive and not dead. i understand you. it took m 133 fuckin years to jst figure ot what happiness means." he said all of this in a carefree tone.

" Yes Ki, and i respect you for the fact that you did find happiness in those circumstances." Minato said in a meaningful tone. He then shifted his cold gaze to the sky." But there is a small difference between us Ki. Our strength may be Equal but our fate isn't now. My hands are stained with the blood of an ally. I can not return now. Not only that but my ' Plan ' isn't finished yet. when its is, i may think of returning to leaf." Minato said shifting his gaze back to Lee.

((Ki=Lee?))

Hinata glanced to the south, toward the mountain terrain. She was still on the mission. She had to meet with a man called Saburo. Saburo who had worked for Akatsuki, had made connections and relationships with them, during many years. Something had happend, thought, last week, making him betray Akatsuki.
A week ago, Saburo had contacted Konoha, via mail. He had promised to to reveal everything about his former organziation, even to the last secret. But he wanted something first in return. Konoha had to help him and his wife to escape the country of river.
The main problem is that the Akatsuki had already placed a big bounty on his head. Making the time line very short, we are not the only one after him.
Hinata looks up, since Minato and Ki are sitting/standing on branches. Hinata still standing on the muddy ground.
She starts to slowly move her feets backwards, in a plan of dissappearing unnoticed. Every time Minato looks away at Ki, she will move one step.

(( My Bad, didnt notice it. i was chatting with Lee at the time. Must have put his name here. Btw, Akatsuki can't have relatives or such.))

" You are not the only one who has connections Hinata. I have already killed Saburo." Minato said as he shifted his gaze on her. " Saburo to us was a, what most people call a traitor. We prefered to call him our weak link. He left the Akatsuki after Gabrielle found him with a leaf ninja. He killed the leaf ninja, but Saburo escaped. So i tracked him down and took care of him" He said. Minato noticed the color drain fom her face. " As for the other mission involving Nara. He is dead too." Minato said as he kept an eye on Hinata, so she could not escape. What Minato didn't know was that Hinata had not yet contacted Saburo. He thought that the Information had been leaked. So he was now going to erase Hinata's memory, and if nessecary, kill her.

Hinata was shaken by Minato's words. Minato had confessed a murder in a lightly way. As well that Minato knows her reason to be there. Saburo must have been tortured and forced to say and reviel things in desperation.
"Minato-kun....how could you do that...." Hinata looks at the ground left of her. She is paying her thoughts to the dead ones as well trying to find the focus on to her current situation.

" This is exactly why i say you aren't like a ninja. Skills are one thing Hinata. You dont lack skills. But what you lack is the ability to kill. " Minato said. His gaze had softened to its regular self. " Tell me Hinata, what did Saburo tell you. Did he tell you about our plans, our headquarters, or was it about the members weaknesses. I killed him before he could say a word." Minato said as his voice turned cold. " I would have let him go, if would have just told me that he had decided to leave akatsuki, and flee Hidden Rain with his wife. But he chose to betray me." Minato revealed. Even as he confessed to this, his eye's were steady, like a rock.
" Poor Saburo, to bad he had to die. He was a ninja from the Hidden Star Village. When i massacred their Shinobi, he asked me to take him with me to akatsuki. I thought no harm in doing that. He did have talent. But its sad he met his fate the same way the others of the Hidden star did. By my hands." Minato confessed to have been responsible for the attack and massacre in the Hidden Star.

ki flickerd in front of hinata and chuckled in a teasing voice. "now dont lose your head minato. we can get out of this situation. tell me where you need to go and lets see if we can work out a compromise." his white hair had coverd his yellow eyes as he started to cough. then remained silent.

Hinata remembers hearing about the tragic event, which happend in the country of bear. There were never found any clues on who killed them. Wild accussations were soon started to be thrown out toward anybody and anything, there were almost a war broken out. In jsuch a distant country, who would had thought Akatsuki were behind it?
"Saburo-san...didn't say...a thing!" Hinata replied with a voice which said she was scared.
Hinata starts to feel panicked, she have to run. She looks around for any possible escape. She decides to jump toward the direction she came from, on a branch. Perhaps random choice or perhaps instinctively. Then she comes to think about, perhaps she must first confirm Saburo's death. She would look pretty stupid in front of her companions, if Saburo, actually, would be alive. Minato could, after all, be bluffing. Hinata turns around, to look at Minato's face, as if it would reviel anything.

ki looks at hinata. his eyes were calm. "in every lifetime, some blood must shed." then he turned to minato. " for old times sake, let us be." ki bowed.

" I see, you don't believe me when i say i killed him. Perhaps i should give you a small demonstration of my power," Minato said, as he made a hand sign, and raising it to the left side, he said " Chidori Nagashi." As he said this, he released many wild bolts of lightning, in the left direction which completely disintegrated the land right next to him upto 20m. " So as you can see, your options of escape without my will are nill. If you try it, i will kill you with 1 hit. I will ask you one more time," Minato said his voice getting gruffier and more evil, " Did you or did you not get any information from Saburo. TELL ME ! " he said finishing the sentence, nearly shouting at Hinata. He had activated his sharingan. This way if Hinata lied, he would instantly know. He could feel her nervousness. He awaite a reponse.
He then using signals behind his back conveyed to Ki he intended to let them go, but not until Hinata told the truth. He himself didn't want to fight them. Not here. Not now.

ki put a hand on hinata. his hand was heavily gloved for some reason. " minato. let us go by." then he let his accent slip in. a bad sighn. "let uz go. we need do finish ze misshion."

Minato realized what was happening. So he quickly jumped infornt of Hinata, and looking her straight in the eye's, used his sharingan to find out what had Saburo revealed about them. He found nothing. " Alright Hinata. You can go, and Ki, please don't interfere with the akatsuki or next time i won't just let you pass." Minato said to Ki. " I am sorry Hinata, for the way i had behaved with you just now, but sometime's this is the only way to obtain what you need. I do apologise. You are free to go" He said as he began to walk away towards the mountains.

ki smiled. "okay that was interesting. now lets go." he was back to his airheaded self again.

Minato using his Body flicker technique disappeared somewhere. Probably to the Akatsuki base

they began to move. and ki was sining something.....

if only if only
the woodpecker sighs
the bark on the tree was as soft as the skies
the wolf sits below
hungry and lonely,he cries at the moon
if only if only
