Nine Truths of Hyuuga Hinata

=One=

Hyuuga Hinata was shy, but it didn't mean that she lacked a will of fire or that she wasn't willing to fight in what she believed in.

=Two=

She knew what her clan thought of her ever since the catastrophic kidnapping from Kumogakure that had cost her father his twin brother.

=Three=

She knew that they thought that she was weak. What they didn't know was that which yields, is not always weak.

=Four=

She knew that it would be hard to ignore the dark attitudes that permeated in the Hyuuga compound about her, but she managed to anyway. She had to; it was the nin-do that she had adopted from her crush. She couldn't afford to misstep by giving into it.

Even when the attitudes of her clan began to change after her disastrous chuunin battle with Neji-niisan, she didn't pay them any mind. She was too busy changing into someone that they couldn't recognize anymore.

=Five=

She recovered from her injuries, and much to everyone's surprise, thrived. She showed no ill will towards her more celebrated relation, choosing instead to spar with him more regularly when he wasn't on a mission instead of avoiding him as she had used to do.

=Six=

Her family didn't know what to make of it. It was as if something inside of Hinata had burst forth since her ignominious defeat at her first Chuunin trial. It was as if she was a phoenix reborn.

=Seven=

She could literally feel her will of fire growing by leaps and bounds when Naruto told her that he admired people like her the most. It was after all, what motivated her to further develop her Byakugen as well as modify the secret techniques of the Gentle Fist to fit her own personal development.

=Eight=

She may be a pacifist, but it didn't mean that she would not stand up for what she believed in.

Despite the high probability of her death occurring when she stepped into battle with Pain to defend Naruto from him, it was worth it because she was protecting the one she loved.

=Nine=

Hyuuga Hinata may be shy, but it didn't mean that she was someone to be discounted.
