Flashback

As she ran to the river, she kept looking back, thinking someone was following her. At first she thought it was her father, but she knew he didn't care where she went or what she did. He didn't care about her at all. He only thought she was weak and worthless, unworthy of being an heiress. That thought brought tears to her eyes. She couldn't keep living like this, letting her father beat her, and living with the pain. The pain of always being alone with no one there to care for her. No one to know how much she suffers. No one to know what goes on when nobody is watching, when no one is listening to her silent cries for help.

She knew that no one would help her, no matter how much she yelled and screamed for their help. As a child she learned to depend on no one, to act like someone she wasn't. Her whole family made it clear that she was on her own to find help when she needed it, that she was alone even when she was surrounded by people, and that they didn't care for her one bit. That was shown clearly, they didn't even talk to her, they would just disregard her and tell her to leave, calling her worthless and weak.

She learned not to trust anyone. To her, there was no need to, trust was just something people carelessly gave to others who would betray them in the end. Even when she said she was friends with people, she truly despised them, and hated them when they would say how much she means to them, how much they care for her. Their words were all lies, lies she never once believed, lies she always saw through. She didn't once trust them, and she never had any respect for them.

But would she show that she hated them, that she didn't trust them?

Never in her life would she reveal that.

She kept her true feelings masked behind the shield she had created, the shield that had been there since she was a child. A shield that no one could see through. This shield was full of hatred. Enough hatred that even getting revenge on the people who caused her hatred would not break this shield. She knew one thing that could break it though...

The right type of people to accept her for who she really is, not the person everyone thought she was. No, those days were over for her. She was tried of hiding her true self from everybody. Now was the time she had been waiting her whole life for, the time to get revenge...

End Flashback

"Why are you doing this?!" Someone had yelled to her from across the room, a room that was filled with her own family's blood. She looked up at them with her Byakugan blazing, kunai in one hand and a sword in the other.

"Ah, Father. I was going to save your death until the end, but it looks like you couldn't wait to die."

"Hinata, why are you doing this to us?! What did we ever do to deserve it?" Hiashi Hyuuga stated to his daughter, the heiress of the Hyuuga clan.

"You and the rest of the clan did plenty! You all ignored me as a child, calling me worthless and unworthy of being the heiress. And you, Father. You were the worst of them all. You beat me, night after night, which only made me come to not trust anyone. If I couldn't depend upon my own family, then I couldn't depend on anyone, except for myself." Hinata explained, her voice full of rage and hatred.

"You were always a good child. I don't understand where all this hate is coming from."

"That was the point. I hid my true feelings from everybody, putting up a fake personality so everyone would befriend me, and trust me. Then when the day came to get revenge on you and my clan, my true self would finally be shown." Hinata smiled at him evilly, as she walked towards him with her bloodied sword in her hand.

"Wait, Hinata! Don't do this! If you kill off your entire clan, you'll have to become a missing nin." Hiashi frantically said, backing away from her until his back hit the wall.

"Oh, I know. I didn't plan on staying here after I finished killing you all. I hope you're ready to die, Father." She said as she dashed towards him, stabbing him straight through the heart, killing him instantly. She stood there and smiled as she watched him convulse in pain, then fall limp against the wall, sliding down it. As she was walking out of the Hyuuga compound, her family's blood all over her, she was met with the entire ANBU squad.

"Hinata Hyuuga, you are under arrest. Either come with us peacefully or else we will detain you by force."

Hinata only smirked.

"You really think you could detain me? I just killed off my entire clan by myself. I'd like to see you try to catch me, but I've got to run." Hinata said as she dashed through the streets of Konoha. She dodged every ANBU that crossed her path, even killing some. As she was reaching the gates, she saw they were closing, ANBU was trying to cut her escape off. She pumped more chakra into her feet and ran through the gate right before it closed.

Hinata kept running for awhile until she lost track of the ANBU squad that was following her. She landed next to a tree, hands on her knees, panting. She was too tired to continue running. She decided that she would take a quick rest and then start running again. She would have to find somewhere to stay, but no village would accept her now that she was a missing nin, an S-ranked criminal. She would think about it more after she was rested.

She sat her back against the tree and stared to doze off. As she was falling asleep, she didn't notice two figures walking up to her. When she would awake later on, she would be in for the surprise of her life, a surprise she would never have expected.
