YN POV

We began tracking Hinata scents as it gets dark but Akamaru ends up finding honey before Shino sent handful of his insects to find her.

YN: So let me get this straight, The Kamizuru Clan are similar to The Aburame Clan but only difference is that they use bees while you use beetles?

Shino: Apparently they were thought to be equal level to the Aburame Clan in the past.

Naruto: But they aren't anymore?

Shino: it was back in my grandfather's day. The shinobi from the Hidden Stone Village attempted to invade the Leaf Village. The Kamizuru Clan where chosen to map out their strategy and their plan was to attack with a large swarm of bees into the village. However, the Aburame Clan caught them and engage the enemies. The battle between insect handlers were equals but in the end the Aburame Clan won while the Kamizuru Clan lost and fell to ruin even in their own village. I heard that only a few remains even now.

Kiba: So they're the ones looking for the Bikochu too. But what do they want with the bikochu, any ideas?

YN: If I had to guess, they might be planning on getting their revenge. This could leave the leaf village at risk.

Shino: Agree, we might be able to learn something more once my insects comes back.

Naruto: So now what?

Shino: We'll have to come up with a plan some way.

We all nodded and head back to the big tree. Just then there was only one insect that came back to us but unfortunately it doesn't have any leads.

Kiba: Great! Then our only choice is to hand them the bikochu?

YN: No way. We've come too far to leave it.

Naruto: And after all the trouble we went to catch one.

Shino: So you think we should leave Hinata?

Naruto: There's no way we're leaving anyone behind no matter what! Anyone who leaves a comrade behind is trash!

YN /Kiba: Agree/here here.

Naruto: But the problem is we need this little guy to find Sasuke.

Kiba: Guest we'll have to come up with another plan.

Naruto: Yeah, the first priority is to find Hinata.

Shino: Do you think Hinata would want that?

Naruto: What do you mean?

YN: This entire plan was her idea.

Shino and I explain to him that Shino told her about the bikochu. The three of us thought it wasn't worth to find one due to the difficulty on finding one yet she didn't wanted to give up. Though the it may be a challenge she didn't wanted to give up.

Naruto: She...she really did?

Kiba: I know right? She wanted to help much as she can and didn't want to give up so easily.

YN: Believe it or not, its the first time she ever volunteer for a mission.

Kiba: The real question is how to we save her if we don't know where she is?

Shino: There is one option where she'll make an appearance.

YN: Where we'll made a trade.

Shino: Nods. Its our only chance.

Naruto: Grinn. Then that's the plan. We'll save Hinata and protect the bikochu! No matter what.

3rd POV

The team arrive at the top of the easter hill and they saw the Kamizuru holding Hinata with beeswax as there's a large rock between them.

Naruto: We brought the bug, now hand over Hinata!

Suzumibachi: Chuckles. Just place the insect cage on that rock over there.

Shino places it at the rock as Kurobachi steps in and takes a closer look.

Kurobachi: ...What is this? Are you trying to fool us!?

Kurobachi smashes the cage as the bikochu turns back into a Goliath beetle.

Kurobachi: A Goliath beetle!? Are you kidding!?

Naruto: YN now!

YN: Wood style: Silent strangle jutsu!

Kiba snatches Hinata from the bushes as the woods traps the Kamizuru from underneath.

Kiba: Ha! Recovery success!

Shino: You guys are done here!

Shino finishes them off with his insects but then they realize the Kamizuru were beeswax clones including Hinata.

Kiba: Sniff. Guys she doesn't smell like Hinata!

YN: We've been played!

Shino: Incoming!

Swarm of bees started to attack them as they try to defend themselves. Some of the bees were just wax but others were real with a posion sting mix together. Thankfully Shino uses wall of insects to protect them and clear out all the bees.

Naruto: Woah, that's cool.

YN: Man, keep forgetting you have a lot of insects with you.-

Suzumibachi: impressive strength for a Genin.

They saw three them up at the cliffs.

Suzumibachi: As I expected from the Aburame. Isn't that right?

Naruto: You give Hinata back!

Suzumibachi: Of course our intention was to return her if you hand over the bikochu. However, it doesn't like that was your plan!

YN: Sorry lady but we need it more than you do and we're not leaving either of them!

Suzumibachi: Smirk. Alright then, we'll finish you off and look for it ourselves!

She sends more swarm of bees at them and YN notice something different about those bees than before.

Shino: Hand sign. Wall of insects jut-

YN: Wood style: wooden dome jutsu!

YN created a wooden dome to protect the team as they were confused.

Shino: What are you doing!?

YN: Some of those bees had paper bombs! Kiba we need a tunel fast!

Kiba: On it! Tunneling fang!

Kiba creates a tunnel to make an exit from the ground and leading to the side of the cliff. They got out in time before the explosion as the Kamizuru began to chase them but it turn out to be insect clones.

Suzumibachi: That kid with the sword is clever.

Kurobachi: Never thought I'd see a wood release.

Time skip

The real ones were tracking Hinata and they found a huge hive ahead.

Shino: There's no doubt, she's in there.

YN: I can't believe we didn't notice this place before.

Akamaru: Rarf!

Kiba: There's no sign of those guys but it might be a trap.

They enter the hive while YN stay outside for a look out. Soon they found Hinata inside a honeycomb and covered in wax.

Naruto: She's alive!

They pull her out and remove all the beeswax.

Naruto: Alright, that's all of them.

Hinata: N-naruto...Thank you!

Hinata immediately hugs Naruto which surprises Kiba but suddenly Shino threw a kunai between them.

Naruto: What do you think you're doing Shino!?

Shino: Out with it! Who are you?

Naruto: What are you talking about? That's Hinata.

Shino: If she was then she'd get red in the face and fainted.

Kiba: Huh? Yeah but Akamaru nose wouldn't fail.

Akamaru: whimpers.

Kiba: Two scents mix together?

YN: Everything OK back there?

Shino: No, she's not Hinata

Hinata: N-naruto...its me...I'm Hinata believe me!

YN: Notice. If that's true then why did you try to put a paper bombs on Naruto's back right now!

Shino force her to drop a paper bomb on her hand.

Kiba: You were gonna blow his head off!

Hinata chuckles and cause a smoke. Soon it reveal Suzumibachi holding Hinata sweater on her neck.

Suzumibachi: I thought that would work for sure.

Shino: Surprise. You! So the ones back then were clones.

Kiba: And you were wearing Hinata clothes to cover your scent.

Naruto: Out with it, what have you done with Hinata!?

Suzumibachi: Hard to say really. You guys are like insect flying right into the webs. If you're lucky maybe we'll meet again.

The hive had hidden paper bombs around and the ground collapse. As they fall, Kiba and YN use their chakra to attach their hand at the wall while the rest grab on the their legs.

Kiba: GAAAAAAH! Hey let go!

Shino: There's nothing else to grab on.

YN: Can't you guys use your chakra!?

Shino: Just be patient while I figure something out.

Just then Akamaru fell on Kiba shoulder adding more weight.

Kiba: GAAAAH!!!!

Naruto: Uh Shino, what's down there?

They all look down and saw huge numbers of bee larvae.

Naruto: Huh!? There are bee larvae everywhere you look!

Shino: Wait somethings wrong, they're far too big.

Suzumibachi: All you have to do is tell me where you hid the bikochu and I'll spare your life.

Naruto: Forget it! Our mission it to get the bikochu and we're not going to give it to you!

Suzumibachi: Really? Then die!

She sends bees with paper bombs at them.

Shino: Paper bombs!

YN: Kiba! We need a tunnel quick!

Kiba: Damit! Let's go Akamaru! Tunneling fang!

Akamaru: Arf!

Kiba and Akamaru creates a tunnel as the others follow and soon they ended up to another hive filled with hugs bee larvae.

Naruto: Guh! How many of them are there!?

YN: Keep your distance! There's no telling what these can do!

Suddenly Kiba falls on his knees as he's breathing heavily.

Shino: Kiba!

Kiba: S-sorry, somehow...my body is...giving out...

Shino: It can't be.

Suzumibachi: From above. These larvae hunger for one food, chakra. And as long as you're down there, they'll drain every ounce of your chakra. So just tell me the bikochu location.

YN: Like hell we are!

Suzumibachi: Hand signs. Summoning jutsu!

She summons a giant bee which is the queen behind her.

Suzumibachi: So what's it gonna be? Eat by the larvae or by this big girl right here. Its your choice of course.

Kiba and naruto collapse to the ground while the other keeps it together.

YN: Kiba! Naruto!

Shino: This is bad.

Suzumibachi: Oh my, what's wrong? You want to stay there and become larvae food?

Shino: Really bad.

YN: Now what?

Shino: Just stick to the plan.

YN: I'm not leaving you guys.

Shino: This is out best chance. Stick to it.

YN nods as Shino throws a shuriken at the the queen but no prevail, only made it angry.

Suzumibachi: Laughs. Did you honestly think that would do anything?

YN: OK that's it, I'm out of patience!

Shino: YN no stick to the plan!

YN jumps toward her with his sword out but then the queen spits out sticky honey at them. Soon they were all trap in wax as the other Kamizurus regroup with Suzumibachi.

Jibachi: So did you take care of them.

Suzumibachi: Chuckles. Bunch of idiots, they made her mad and now the four of them got trap in beeswax.

Jibachi: Haha! Bees make sticky wax. You're an insect handler and yet you don't know that?

Naruto: Sarcastic. Yeah what gives? YN said your a bug expert.

Suzumibachi: To Kurobachi. So what about the bikochu?

Kurobachi: Nothing so far, we've send bees but nothing yet so far.

Jibachi: Aren't they carrying it with them?

Suzumibachi: Even they know they can't have it with them.

Kurobachi: So that means- wait. Where the other one?

Suzumibachi & Jibachi: Huh?

They all notice YN is just looking up until his face crack revealing to be a wooden clone.

Jibachi: A wooden clone!?

Shino: Wooden clone?

Suzumibachi: Ha! With all that courage he had he just ran away?

Naruto: You're wrong! YN would never abandon his team.

Kurobachi: But our bees says otherwise and he's not around to save you nor that girl.

Suzumibachi: So what's it gonna be.

Naruto: Non of us are telling you!

Shino: I'll tell you.

Naruto: Shino!?

Shino: On one condition, you give us Hinata.

Naruto: Huh!?

Suzumibachi: Chuckle. Ridiculous isn't it?

Jibachi: Maybe you don't understand your position.

Shino: There's no way you'll find the bikochu on your own. You're press for time and I think you don't understand your position.

The Kamizuru gather together and discuss their situation while Shino sneakily send bugs to help Hinata. Just then the Kamizuru agree and take them to Hinata near the river but she wasn't there.

Jibachi: She's gone!?

Suzumibachi: What happened?

Jibachi: The wax she was trapped isn't there...the river, it must've swept her to the waterfall in the cave! I warn her not to move!

Naruto overheard them and gots angry as they were arguing.

Naruto: You! What did you do it her!? If she gets hurt I swear I'll-

Jibachi: Shut up! Your friend's probably at the bottom of the river by now!

Naruto: Dam you!-

Jibachi: Kicks narutos head. Aw he's so upset? The brat must be his girlfriend.

Naruto: I'll never forgive you! When I get out of this wax you'll be sorry!

Jibachi: Aw and what are you gonna do huh?

Shino: You can forget our deal then. Without hinata, you'll never get your hands on the bikochu is.

Suzumibachi: Unfortunately her death wasn't our intention and that we can't get our hand on the bikochu. However.

Naruto: Huh?

Suzumibachi: At least we'll avenge our clan by taking your lives!
