Naruto : Monsters

So all I had to do to fix it was make sure that the delegate did not die. Easier said than done but fortunately, I had a plan. It wasn't much of a plan I had to admit but it was simple and workable, which were the most important things.

...

I was going to wait for my kidnapper to break into my room and stop him. Now I had no delusions on my ability to fight a fully grown and trained ninja when I could not even beat nine years old ninjas-in-training. Though my spars against them were starting to look like proper spars recently rather than the one-sided beatdowns they were a week ago.

No, all I wanted to do was stall him. A chakra infused blow to the diaphragm or throat will be enough to stun him. So all I had to do was pretend I was asleep, wait for him to get near me and sneak in a surprise blow, before screaming my lungs out and waking up the entire household.

Now normally I would have never even considered a plan this risky, especially when it was my life on the line, but that's the beauty of the entire thing, I wasn't in any danger even if I screwed up.

Kumo wanted to kidnap me because they wanted the power of the Byakugan. And they wouldn't have been willing to take such a risky gamble if all they got out of it in the end was a single pair of eyes. No, what Kumo wanted was a bloodline of their own, an entire clan.

In other words, they wanted to breed me.

A four-year-old wouldn't be too hard to indoctrinate and make loyal. And when I became of age they planned to toss a few girls at me to impregnate until there were a dozen little me's running around. That's right, they would force me to have sex…lots and lots of sex with a ton of women for… years... huh, why was I so against this again anyway?

I'm pretty sure there was a good reason but I couldn't think of it at the moment…

Anyway, that meant that no matter how tonight's events panned out, I would be getting out of this unharmed. The proof of that was that in the original timeline the kidnapper never tried to harm Hinata even when Hiashi was attacking him.

I was the goose that laid the golden egg and neither side wanted to harm a single hair on my head.

So, now that everything was set, all that remained was to wait for the kidnapper to appear. And since I had no idea what time the kidnapping would occur, other than it happened during the night, I had to make sure to stay on guard all night long. I couldn't risk being half asleep when the time came.

So all I have to do now is wait.

…

…

…

You know, at first this was actually rather nerve breaking but it was quickly turning out to be rather boring and fast. Waiting in bed while pretending to be asleep was much harder than I thought it was going to be.

Shifting around a little bit, I looked up at the clock hanging from the wall in front of me.

10:40

… It's going to be a long night.

..

My cheeks flared in pain as I pinched them, forcing my eyelids that threatened to shut wide open.

This was the third time already that I had to resort to physical pain to prevent myself from falling asleep. It was as times like these that I truly hated being four again. You have no idea how hard it was to force yourself to stay up late when you were a kid.

Dear god you damn kidnapper, hurry the hell up and get over here. It's bad enough that you want to abduct me, but now you want to ruin my bedtime too? What a prick.

Pinching myself again when I felt sleep start to overcome me, I glanced back up at the clock to see how much longer I had to wait.

11:05

..

This was going to suck.

..

All right, this was no longer funny. I had almost fallen asleep for real this time, and I couldn't afford that happening. Not when I was about to end up getting kidnapped any minute now. I needed to keep my mind distracted if I wanted to stay awake. This called for drastic measures.

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.

Take one down, and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall ...

..

782 bottles of beer on the wall, 782 bottles of beer.

Take one down, and pass it around, 781 bottles of beer…

..

2,207 bottles of beer on the wall, 2,207 bottles of beer.

..

Take one down, and pass it around, and then there are no more bottles of beers on the wall.

There! I finished the damn game three entire times already, increasing the numbers of bottles each round by ten and I still hadn't been kidnapped. What's taking the guy so long? I mean it's got to be approaching dawn by now.

I glanced up at the clock.

12:21

..

Oh, you have to be shitting me.

..

Alright, enough of the beer bottle game. If I had to say that line one more time I'd snap. I got to think of something else to do to keep me awake but what?

…How about a song?

..

Oh, if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.

..

Go-Go Power Rangers! Nah-na-na-na! Go-go Power Rangers, you Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

..

And I~~~~, will always~, Love you~~

..

Gotta catch 'em all, Gotta catch 'em all, Yeah!

Zubat, Primeape, Meowth, Onix-

..

Ok, I have exhausted every song I could remember except for the backstreet boys and I'll be damned if I sing any of them.

And where the hell is this guy? Shouldn't he have been here by now? I knew the security around the compound was tight but come on, I want to sleep already. What time was it anyway?

01:45

You know what, screw the plan and forget about capturing this guy alive. I'm going to murder the asshole with a spoon when I got my hands on him.

..

Bleary-eyed, I stumbled out of my room, dark rings no doubt circling my eyes. I was so exhausted that I almost tripped over my own feet twice, and barely managed to stop myself from running face-first into one of the many house servants that were frantically running around the corridor.

Morning light rained across the hardwood floors through the many windows lining the hallway, and I could hear birds chirping outside as they cheerfully greeted the new day. I had never hated anything more than the sound of their cheer. All around me people were rushing all over the place, something that was more than a little bit unusual in this household.

Looking around I spotted a pair of gossiping servants and walked up to them. When they didn't notice me right away, I tugged on one of their sleeves.

"Oh, Hikaru-sama. Please forgive me I didn't see you there- Hikaru-sama! Are you alright? You look dreadful." The servant's eyes widened in surprise when she took in my state. I must have been quite a sight, after having spent the entire night awake and alert.

Being in no mood for pointless chit-chat, I cut straight to the heart of the matter. "What's going on?"

It seemed like the servant in question was also quite keen on spreading some gossip as well, because she dropped the matter of my appearance and leaned towards me before stage whispering. "Well Hikaru-sama, it seemed that there was an intruder last night. 

The guards caught him before he was able to get too far in and had no trouble subduing him. Normally this would not have caused such a commotion, but when the guards presented him to Hiashi-sama this morning, he realized that the intruder was actually one of the Kumo visitors that arrived yesterday for the peace treaty."

I tuned the rest of her words out, I heard enough. I felt the edge of my lips twitch as I fought back the urge to scream in frustration.

I wonder why I didn't realize something so obvious before.

This was the Hyuuga clan. A group of people with eyes that could literally see through walls and spot an ant from a mile away. There was no way anyone, no matter how skilled in stealth, could successfully sneak into the compound undetected, not when there were over a dozen Hyuuga guards patrolling the place and a hundred more resting within.

It was impossible. Not just improbable, but actually one hundred percent impossible. Which meant there was no way that anyone could ever get close enough to kidnap the clan heir, be it me or Hinata.

In other words, the entire Hyuuga affairs couldn't have possibly happened. The entire thing was pulled out of a certain author's ass just for the sake of entertainment…

And because of said author, I had to stay up all night in a bundle of nerves for no reason.

… It's official …

KISHIMOTO YOU'RE A FUCKING TROLL!
