In honor of the 1 year anniversary of the last chapter of "After Confessions" which caught some big success among the readers, and since I've been watching alot of dbz and playing Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage, I am doing a short story which depicts what could have happened during the 4th great shinobi war.

Hinata rubbed her thumb extensively against the side of her index finger. It had been a while since she conquered her self-hatred at the falls of truth. Her self-confidence had radiated from her ever since. But today she felt a large pang of anxiety, she was nervous in the back of her mind. This was not some one on one match she had to endure, nor was it a mere mission, this was war. Even the most confident of warriors when put against incredible situations have their moments of self doubt.

She looked to Karui next to her, she had onl met the Kumo-nin a few days ago, and still didn't know all that much about her. However she felt comfortable enough to confide in her.

" I...I'm a little nervous." Hinata said.

" Please, this war will be a piece of cake." Karui said. " I'm probably more nervous than you."

Hiashi looked over from his division. He saw that she was somewhat fidgety.

((((Flashback)))))

" Are you afraid I'll embarrass you?" Hiashi said jestingly as he and Hinata sat having tea outside a shop in Konohagakure.

" Of course not." Hinata replied. " I'm just surprised. It's just, aren't you too important to just go out into the battlefield?"

" This is beyond the Hyuuga clan Hinata. I am more important on the battlefield right now."

Hinata looked down then back up at Hiashi. " Gomen Oto-sama I guess I'm not accustomed to having to worry about you."

" I have seen war before Hinata. I know exactly what to anticipate."

" Hai Oto-sama."

((((End Flashback))))

" Hinata...will you know what to anticipate?" Hiashi thought.
