Don't own Naruto at all! Enjoy!
They thought that this day would never come, but it did. The Hyugga's Heiress dishonors the Hyugga title by throwing it away all for the sake of one man… and one child.
The leaves are dashing through the wind like never before in Kohona. The breeze Hinata has come to welcome in her heart as a symbol of the departing third Hokage's 'good omen' or 'great fortune to the village's people'.
The war that took place between Madarra and the Great Five Nations has ended months ago—Madarra killed by Naruto Uzumaki himself. The name of the legendary hero still put's a clench on her heart for that's the day the pink-haired medic realized her true love for the blonde hero. Evidently, in their new found relationship together as a couple.
After the mighty battle that ensued between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, they were both considered lucky to still have a heartbeat. Sakura was pardoned by the Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade, from her duties to aid Naruto and bring him back safely. When she got there it was Naruto she went to first and got his heart kicked into gear again. The astonishing thing was that even the Kyubbi's chakra was depleting! Due to fighting with Madarra and Sasuke and helping other fellow ninja in the war's efforts—mostly it was from fighting Sasuke that brought him down.
If Sakura didn't get there in time then… she clenched the front part of her sweater that's shielding her heart from exploding from her chest. She can't bear the thought of losing that bright smile that only Naruto can provide light in the deep crevice of her heart.
As for Sasuke, she heard rumors that Sasuke was the worst out of the bunch—blood transfusions, multiple surgeries were in order. Only Shizune and Sakura were the only ones putting their time and effort into Sasuke for all the other nations see him as a traitor and a threat to the world itself.
But that didn't stop the knuckle-headed ninja; he went up to the Five Kages and pleaded them to pardon Sasuke as someone who was being corruppted by Madarra and was misguided by the darkness that was lingering in his heart. Moved by how passionate the War's hero devotion to his best friend that is hated by all, they all came up with a solution that Sasuke will NOT be put to death for his crimes.
However, his movements shall be heavily monitored by the Kage's best elite Anbu forces 'til he is deemed one of society. In other words, he's a prisoner in his own village.
She almost feels sad for the Uchiha, how lonely it must've been… thinking there's no way out but death. From what she heard from the hospital nurses, after visiting Neji who's been stuck bed ridden, unable to breathe on his own yet at the time; the Uchiha is stuck underground heavily guarded in an alternative ICU hooked up to machines that monitor and stabilize him for the time being.
He hasn't fluttered an eyelash since the fight between him and Naruto, to Naruto's dismay. He feels optimistic though, seeing as Sasuke's back home now, it's where he belongs.
But the way Hinata sees it, Sasuke will forever be locked in a cage unable to go by society as a normal ninja of his own village. He'll be the epitome of the villages' tragedy and loss, she can see it already. Just like the incident that occurred almost seventeen years ago at Kohona when Madarra let out Kyubbi and all hell broke loose. And the one who took all the beating and neglect was none other than Naruto Uzumaki. It took a great deal for Naruto to get where he is at now, Hinata's guess is that hopefully Naruto can somehow get through to Sasuke that if Naruto can do it then so can he.
But it's not just that easy, this is Sasuke they're talking about—he won't be sugar-coated by words especially from Naruto of all people. Or who knows, maybe whatever happened during their battle he somehow got through to him with sheer will power.
And love.
Deep in Hinata's heart she hopes that Sasuke won't wake up. Not because she despises the last Uchiha but the minute he awakens, she knows and everyone else knows that he won't put up with a bunch of elders would have to say to him and eventually run away again. She clenched her chest tighter with her small petite hand; she cannot bear the thought Naruto getting hurt. Not after all the world has put him through—no, this time she's a changed woman. Yes, she is determined that she'll do everything in her stead to help her unrequited love… even if it means helping the former Avenger if he wakes which she hopes doesn't happen anytime soon.
Her helping Sasuke, the missing nin who is considered and equal to the all powerful Naruto, Orochimaru and Madarra. Such overwhelming power he possesses...
Nah, what's to worry about, people go through comas years on end so there's hope things can ease down and go back to normal.
The sun is dimming, she knows she needs to stop thinking such thoughts that will get her no where. Her walk seems to bring some clarity to her, it's therapeutic even, her father would normally object to her going off all alone but since the war he has seen her in a new light. Someone who's strong like her father and kind like her mother, a Hyugga's heiress indeed to bring a new age to the Hyugga household.
On her way home, she knows that the breeze promises her good things are coming, but what she doesn't know that somewhere beneath the very ground she is walking, certain eyes are fluttering open...
That's right peeps, I brought Neji back from the dead, MWHAHAHAHAHA!
