Disclaimer: Fan of Fanfics21 does not own Naruto or any other elements from other series or works. The author however, does own certain OCs, and concepts that involve the beings known as Cyphers. This story is a side story to my very complicated series and that's all I'm willing to say.
It was snow, it flowed down the air gently in the cloudy noon sky as a figure covered in a ragged cloak with a hood covering the figure's face trudged on through as only the occasional breathing in this weather was boots making the snow crunch beneath the soles as the figure paused and looked behind themself, looking at the trail he or she left behind as the falling snow was covering them up. The figure sighed in relief as the sounds made the figure out to be a female.
She looked around and saw a nearby sign, worn and torn from years of exposure to the weather as it held the name and direction of the town, and the last few miles left to get there. Seeing it, the girl's lips moved into a smile as she became motivated as she made a dash for it, excitement in her breath as she calulated that she should reach the town in the early afternoon, with possibly a nice bed, a warm bath, and fresh food and supplies for her next trip.
/Early Afternoon-Entrance of the town/
"Halt!" shouted a guard as the hooded girl stopped in front of a moat as she looked at the guard from the other side of the drawbridge's wall. "Who are you and what is your buisness here?" he demanded. "I'm merely a traveler on a journey." the girl answered back, "I'm merely looking for a place to stay for the night and for provisions to carry on with my journey!"
The guard heard the honesty in the girl's tone and frowned when he realized this girl was just but a wee lass. Around fourteen years old and traveling so far, that usually is a bad sign that this might be a potential orphan seeking family beyond this town. Beging a good and loyal soldier that helped those in need, he nodded his head to the guard nearby to lower the drawbridge. "Then I hope you have a safe journey after you've rested miss. Welcome to Lambert, one of the last havens of humanity here in Germany." the guard smiled as he saw the girl's gentle smile at him as she made her way into the busy streets.
The girl quickly went to the nearest inn and rented a room and made herself comfortable, neatly removing her worn boots and removing her cloak as her blue hair went neatly past her shoulders as she placed it on a coatrack and placed her backpack and satchel nearby the bed as her white eyes looked relieved and a bit tired as she yawned into her hand.
My name is Hinata Hyuga, of the Hyuga clan.
Hinata walked into the bathroom, turning on the water in the bathtub and slowly began undressing.
I'm not the Hinata Hyuga most people are aware of.
The warm water soothed her body when it made contact with her pale skin as she began using soap to clean away the filth from her body.
I'm a different incarnation of the girl. Her Cypher counterpart, a different being of the human girl that travels throughout different dimensions in the Multiverse and a creater of infinite possibilities.
Wrapping the towel around her body as the water went down the drain, Hinata peeked out of the bathroom and made sure the curtains covered the windows and that the door to her room was locked. Satisfied with it, she went to her pack and opened it and pulled out clothes, sorting between the clean and dirty ones as she noted that she'll have to wash most of them soon.
You're probably wondering what I mean by 'a creater of infinite possibilites' aren't you?
Putting on her unmentionables and pajamas, Hinata rested her back onto the bed as she looked up at the ceiling.
You see, a Cypher has the power to create possible new paths in one's life for other incarnations out there. So if I were to say that Hinata Hyuga married, who was it? Down the road of infinite possibilites, I help create certain conditions that if that version of Hinata chose those choices, she will fall in love with that boy, and possibly be married to said person. Of course, infinite possibilites out there aren't always good. Some of them had horrible outcomes, like the rare example of being Jinchuriki of the Kyubi.
Normally, such scenarios aren't possible...unless a Cypher's power intervenes with the timeline and people.
Her stomach growled softly as she opened her bag and satchel to inspect her supplies. She frowned when her supplies of cinnamon rolls were low as her other rations were going to expire within three days. She'll have to go shopping in the market to resupply herself.
Now you must be asking, why I am on this journey? Well you see, being a Cypher is a bit of a double-edged sword.
Grabbing the phone on the table of her room, she dialed for room service. A tall order of food in order to satisfy her ravenous appetite born from eating ration food for so long. Her desire to eat normal food was an offer she would not take so lightly.
You see, our actions and effects caused by what we experience affect our other normal human incarnations out there. But I'm not in trouble, for you see...Naruto-kun, he's in trouble and I'm on a mission of my own choice and will.
He was betrayed, Naruto-kun's godfather, Cypher Jiraiya had betrayed him and sold him out to a dangerous faction. I was involved, travelling alongside my childhood friend and crush when the betrayal happened.
With elegance and refined mannerisms, Hinata's food somehow disappeared within minutes as the plates and bowls were neatly stacked on top of each other, all spotless as she rested on her bed satisfied with her meal.
I had never felt so powerless, Naruto-kun, he...he sacrificed himself to protect me and they took him. It hurts so much, to see someone you care for beaten to unconciousness as they took him away with sinister intent.
I still remember that, before he was rendered unconcious, the look he gave me. It was that of trust, belief, and faith that I'll overcome my weakness and be stronger for the both of us.
She closed her eyes as she slowly began to embrace her dreams, the comfort of the blankets soothing her as she slept.
From that day onward, I left my home, my friends, my family for one purpose. To become strong to protect those I hold dear and find Naruto-kun. I had traveled to a few different worlds and realitys and spent lifetimes learning their ways and powers. It was not enough to find him, but thankfully, information from Naruto-kun's sister, Shana, helped discover a recent spotting of Naruto-kun.
Reports said that he was last seen in this world's version of England, possibly seeking something important. I'm not sure what Naruto-kun was looking for there, but knowing him and his liking of the tales of King Arthur, and that this world is rich with legendary heroes, monsters and mystical locations actually existing, is seeking counsil with the king in the realm of Avalon. Hence, here I am in Germany, half-way towards my destination resting in an inn.
I've been away from home for some time, but information that Shana provided me that Naruto-kun is dangerous and a threat. I didn't want to believe it, but I must go and get my answers from Naruto-kun myself, even if it kills me. Because I have to know...
Is Naruto-kun truly the prophesized Dark Messiah of the Cyphers?
