"ALRIGHT NARUTO THAT'S MY TEAMMATE WAY TO GO!". Was what Sakura had shouted to her blonde haired teammate after his match with Kiba and with it those not cheering amazed that he actually managed to win.

And with that we, see Naruto then return to his teammate Sakura and his instructor Kakashi,

"in all honesty Naruto i wasn't expecting you to win... Seems you never cease to amaze." :Kakashi told his student in his usual calm tone.

Naruto hearing this proceeded to give his teacher his signature grin

However, soon we then see someone then lightly tap narutos shoulder, and naruto Turning around sees that this This someone turns out to be Hinata.

And, we see her lightly blushing and she has both of her hands behind her back and Naruto then says "oh hey Hinata" and she then says: "uhm h hi N-Naruto"

And not long after, Naruto then notices Hinatas hands behind her back and he then says: "uhm what do you have behind your back."

"Oh I, i-it's f-for you n-naruto i-it's my-my c-clans sp-special ointment". she says in her usual nervous voice

And its here hinata holds it out for him with both hands and naruto confused at this then says: "ointment" and its here hinata then says: "i-it'll h-help h-heal y-your w-wounds"

It's here, Narutos face then turned a light shade of pink while this went unnoticed by him and Hinata it was noticed by a silver haired jounin and a certain Genjutsu specialist.

Both kurenai and kakashi are surprised at this to see Naruto's blush, sure he'd blush in front of Sakura sometimes but Kakashi never saw his student act like that in front of someone else and it got the scarecrow haired Ninja curious as he thinks ("hmm, well thats odd I've never seen Naruto blush like that before.")

And, Naruto a bit shocked at this act of generosity then says: "uhm well Hinata arent... Arent you... You know... Mad at me"

"W-Why" :she asks, clearly confused, at a question like this, even though Naruto never showed feelings for Hinata she, saw him as a friend and as a friend it was only right to help those you care about.

And Naruto a bit nervous at her statement then says: "well i... I beat your teammate and... And friend."

'W-w-wel well y-you s see i-I-it' :she says stumbling on her words

And its here Naruto slightly smiles in admiration at this, even though he never considered having feelings for Hinata he sometimes found how she acted to be enjoyable. In fact he found it made her cute. and this made Kakashi even more curious at his student even more, and he began to think with a sly smile under his mask ("hmm, perhaps Naruto has a crush on Hinata as well, and he just doesn't know it")

and Kurenai observing all of this then says: "just take the ointment naruto and its here naruto then hesitantly does and Naruto then says: "uhm, well... Th -thank you Hinata."

"Y-your welcome... N-Naruto" she says, and Hinata then adds: 'I-I'm g-glad t-tha I-I can h-help' :and its here hinata then turns away from him and begins walking away with a shy smile on her face.

And after Hinata left Naruto then tries the ointment and Naruto amazed says: "whoa this stuff hinata gave me works fast..." and with that he then closes the container and holds it out to His pink haired teammate and then adds "Here, wanna try it sakura."

However She politely refuses at this saying: 'hmm... Oh no its okay Naruto I'll be fine.'

And kakashi watching this, then thinks ("Only, your wounds will heal that quickly Naruto. its not the ointment its the power of the nine-tailed fox it never ceases to Surprise me... although your blushing has also got my interest.")

And kakashi, with a smirk under his mask then says: "Naruto"

"Huh-Yeah what is it Kakashi Sensei" he says

"tell me Naruto when Hinata gave you that ointment... Did you know that you were blushing at her." Kakashi said with his smirk still hidden under his mask

'What': Naruto asks with a hint of shock in his voice

And sakura hearing this then says: "Yeah, i noticed it too"

I-I was blushing :he asked, with a confused look on his face He hadn't remembered blushing, in fact he didn't even feel he was blushing in front of the shy, kunoichi.

"tell me Naruto if you dont mind me asking... what do you think of Hinata" Kakashi asks in a curious tone.

"Well She's alright" Naruto said in a bit of a nervous tone. "a little weird though" he adds

And sakura upon hearing hearing this doesn't believe him and says: 'Naruto what do you "Really" think of Hinata.'

"Well" :he thought, he never really thought much of it he always assumed Hinata was just quiet and Weird but even so there were some things that he liked about her.

And Naruto then says: "well... well i do like that shes kind to others". in fact there were many things that the blonde haired nin liked about her even though he never really thought much of her.

"Yes" :says kakashi, even though Kakashis face would not admit it he was just as curious on finding out what Naruto thought of this shy kunoichi

And Naruto still in his nervous tone says: and... even though i defeated her teammate she isnt mad at me and... Well...

"Well" asks sakura

And Naruto then says "well... I also think Hinata... well... she.. she is..."

and sakura hearing this wanting to get his answer says: "what, shes what Naruto". Upon hearing this naruto then sighs and finally giving in then admits: "Well, i think she is... pretty cute".

"I knew it" says sakura, with a smile on her face

And its here Naruto then says "What! knew what"

"What you just said" :she replies

And Naruto still confused then says: "yeah what about it"

"What, do you find cute about Hinata" :she asks

And naruto then says: well... well uh... i guess... Her blush and... Her stuttering

And Sakura proceeds to awe at this and says with a hint of teasing in her voice: "why, dont you just admit it Naruto."

"What Admit What"! he asks now curious at why Sakura is acting like this

And, Sakura acting like a teasing older sister then says: "you have, a crush on Hinata, dont you."

"WHAT! What Makes You Think I Have A Crush On Her"! Naruto said to her with a look of both emberassment and disbelief on his face

And sakura answers and says: "You tell me, you were blushing at her, you talked about what you like about her, and the fact that you said she is cute."

And Naruto then says: Well Yeah But-", and before he could say anything else, Lee says: "sakura is right Naruto, if anything you seem to have a crush on Hinata."

That's when he mumbles something to them, and Sakura smiling and having a bit of fun says: "what, was that naruto"

"I said, maybe a little". he said with a hint of embarrassment in his voice

Soon after that we then see the medical nin have arrived and we see Kiba, and Akamaru, being carried away on a stretcher and as they pass hinata kiba then hears hinata then say "uhm... K-Kiba"

"Hinata" says Kiba Turning his head looking over to his teammate

And Kiba then sees hinata holding another container of ointment and its here she then holds it out and says "h-heres s-some o-of my c-clans healing ointment its f-for you a-and A-Akamaru"

And Kiba upon hearing this smirks and then says "Heh forget about us you better start worrying about yourself Hinata" and hinata curious at this says "w-what do you mean"

Kiba upon hearing this then says "only six left just you lee chouji neji and then there are those two guys from the sound and sand village... Listen to me be smart. If they put you in with that guy from the sand village... You've got to forfeit the match. Same with neji be smart and just walk away. Trust me he'll be Merciless!... He'll Destroy you!

with that we see Hinata then gain a bit of fear at the thought of this.

Not long after we hear Hayate Gekko the proctor for the preliminare exams now say "Alright We'll now pick the names for the next match"

after about a short amount of time the next two where chosen, Hinata goes wide eyed with fear when she sees the two names that were drawn

those two where nneji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga, she would have to fight her cousin.

And, Kurenai seeing this thinks ("hinata")

while Hinata still held some fear, it didn't stop her from entering the arena same as Neji

And with it neji then says "i never thought,... that one day we'd someday have face each other.. Hinata" and hearing this she then says "n-nor i brother" and its here sakura with a look of shock says "what'd she call him"

"Brother! those two are, Brother and Sister!" asks naruto

"Not Exactly" says Kakashi

"what do you mean" asks sakura

And kakashi explaining to his students says "their both descended from the Hyuga clan one of the most ancient and honorable families of the hidden leaf village not actually brother and sister" and its here sakura then turns to kakashi and says "okay but their related somehow right" and kakashi then says "yes in the way a branch of a great tree is related to its trunk technically their more like cousins"

Naruto still confused at this then says "the trunk of... A tree?" And lee hearing all of this says "yes, hinata belongs to the families main household directly descended from the head of the clan while nejis family is a side branch of the clan"

And its here sakura then says "still their family and now they have to fight each other... I feel for them must be hard" and Lee then says Yes... But!

hearing this sakura then asks "but what" and lee then says "it, may not be as hard as it seems I have heard that for many generations now there has been some bad blood between the two families" and hearing this naruto then says "hmm.. And whys that" and lee then says "i have never known the specifics But.. You know about the great bloodline traits of the great ninja clans like the Uchiha and the Hyuga special techniques and abilities unique to those families the first generation of the hyuga clan made all sorts of rules and decrees that favour the main branch of the family it seems that some branches of the family broke these rules" and naruto then says "huh" and lee says "anyway its said that because of that theres been fractions between the branches of the clan" and Sakura then says so "its like... This match is a family feud" and lee says "yes exactly but..."

"but what, what is it" asks Naruto, showing a bit of concern and fear in his voice

And lee says "i am not sure if i should tell you three but... If Guy sensei or Neji asks you never heard this from me"

"TELL US" yells Naruto letting his concern show

And seeing this lee says "alright, alright very well it's that before the exams guy sensei asked Neji to give him his word that he wouldn't bring his family problems into the exams"

And Naruto then says "huh what do you mean" and lee says "well it's just i have heard, that Neji, has shown to have a deep hatred for Hinata" and sakura says"a, hatred" and lee says "yes ive never known the specifics but i have heard that on more than one occasion that neji has Attacked Hinata"

"and now i am worrying that Neji now that he has been selected to face hinata he may try it again" Lee then adds, and Naruto upon hearing this nervously says "wait, your joking right tell me you're not being serious."

"I wish I was" says lee

And Naruto then proceeds to look over at hinata and now with fear in his voice says "h-he really might try to murder her" and kakashi in an effort to calm Naruto down says "don't worry Naruto i can guarantee that will not happen"

And Naruto showing his fear then says "How can you even be sure" and Kakashi says "look around Naruto there's me, guy, kurenai, and hayate in total that's four jounin ready to intervene if needed now Neji may be a Hyuga but like Hinata he is still a Genin and i doubt that he can take down four experienced jounin ninja" and sakura says "so you'd be able to stop the attempt before he even got close" and Kakashi says "yes thats right sakura so don't worry Naruto hinata will be fine."

however in his mind Naruto was still unsure of her supposed safety

And then says "Look, They're about to start"

And then gekko says: "Alright, You may begin when ready!"

With that neji proceeds to Look at Hinata. And it's here he says: "before we do this a word of advice... Hinata Listen to me" and with that Hinata then looks up at him and it's here Neji then says "Withdraw Now you know you were never meant to be a ninja!"

And with that Hinata then goes tense and it's here neji then says: "your, too kind and gentle, you seek harmony and avoid conflict, you allow yourself to be easily swayed by others"! and Hinata then looks down and away from him and neji then says: "admit it... You have no confidence you feel inferior to everyone else here it would have been better for you to simply remain a genin but to register for the chunin exams You Need a team of Three People. You Never even wanted to take part in these exams but Shino and Kiba Did and you couldn't Bear to Let Your Teammates Down... Could You!"

And hinata trying to defend herself says "No... Your wrong... Your Wrong I Wanted- I Had To Find O Out... I did it because i w wanted to find out f for myself i if I could change." all while she says this trying to act brave

And Naruto and Nakashi and Kurenai look at her and she thinks ("hinata") and with that Kurenai then remembers when Hiashi, Hinatas father and head of the Hyuga clan abandoned Hinata to Kurenais care telling her how she wasn't fit to he a Hyuga and Kurenai then thinks ("Hinata has struggled to become what she wanted to be")

And Neji annoyed and angered at hinatas feeble attempts then says. "Hinata, You Are The Pampered Offspring Of The Hyugas Main Branch" and Hinata now more terrified says "w-wha" "People Can't Change No Matter How Hard They Try!" Neji then proceeded to say

Hinata was hurt inside now and she now grows more scared and terrified and she lightly gasps at what neji said and neji then further torments her by saying: "They Cant Run Away From Their True Nature A Failure Will Always Be A Failure."

and upon hearing this her knees begin to slowly shake, And naruto getting more and more angrier at neji starts gritting his teeth and sakura seeing this says "N-Naruto are you- and its here he says poorly hiding the anger in his voice: "Im Fine Sakura"

"a are you sure" :asks sakura

And naruto then angrily says: "I Said, Im Fine Sakura"! upon hearing what naruto said and the look of anger in his eyes Sakura proceeded to slowly back away from naruto in fear. She soon backs into kakashi without even knowing and seeing this he says: "something wrong sakura?" and she says to him with fear in her voice: "s-somethings wrong with naruto i've... I've never seen him get this angry."

And naruto Naruto glaring at Neji then thinks ("who does this guy think he is") and neji then further breaks Hinatas spirit by saying: "people are judged by their true nature it is the way of the world that is why we have an elite and why their are outcasts." And hinata then gasps again showing more fear and neji then says: "we can change our physical appearance improve our skills with training and study but ultimately we are judged by what we cannot change." And hinata shows more fear and neji continues saying: "And what cant be changed must be endured We Are Who We Are Hinata And We Must Live With It!"

much to hinatas dismay, And with it neji continues to further break Hinatas spirit saying: "Just as I must live with the fact that you were born into the elite of our clan while i am from a lesser branch and we see naruto gaining more and more rage and Neji then says "i understand these things because i see the world clearly.. With my byakugan. Despite your brave words, what your really thinking is that you'd like to run Run as far away from here as you can!" and hinata trying to defend herself again says: N-No your wrong Y-Your wrong a-about me."

And sakura says "byakugan" and kakashi hearing this then explains to naruto and Hinata how the Byakugan is a kekkei genkai a visual jutsu and how its stronger than the sharingan and hinata now starts to show more fear and tears start to form around her eyes, with it neji then activates his byakugan and he then glares at a shaking visibly filled with fear hinata as she then tries to look away from neji.

And Neji seeing this then says "My Eyes Cannot be deceived." and hinata then gasps and looks back at neji and he then says "just one moment ago in the slightest of movements your gazed drifted towards the upper left corner of the room." and hinata goes deeper into fear as neji then says "I saw at that moment... You were thinking of your past.. Your Bitter Past. And then almost immediately after your gaze drifted to the lower right it was a mere flicker of the eyes but to me it revealed all of your mental and physical suffering. Your seeing your old self. Wondering if your life has prepared you for this moment. Your picturing the outcome of the Battle... You see yourself losing." and its here hinata then grows more scared at this statement and we see naruto tightly clutching the container hinata gave him and it slowly starts to crack

And Neji continues on: "And the way, you way you Have your arms in front of Your body like that It tells Me Your Trying To Build A Wall Between Us... To Keep Me At Bay You Want To Stop Me From Raiding The Deepest Recesses Of Your Mind... Why Because Everything I Said Is True."

Upon hearing this, this frightens Hinata even more.

And Neji then continues "And that familiar gesture of putting your lip to your finger thats to Suppress your Rising Panic Made All The More Desperate Because You Know Its Futile!... Everything is Futile Hinata, You Are What You Are Whether You Like It Or Not You Already Know! and with that hinata then hangs her head down in shame her spirit and will crushed and or broken and she then whimpers: "Y-You y-your R-Right."

And now with her will and determination completely broken Hinata then lets her tears go down her cheeks not being able to say anything, if anything what could she say. Everything Neji said about her was true, and with it Neji then smirks at this convinced that he succeeded in breaking Hinatas will and naruto seeing this in his rage finally snaps at Neji for his cruel and otherwise uncaring demeanor, and he angrily shouts "THAT DOES IT I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU IF HINATA WAS ANY AT ALL YOU SAID THEN SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GRADUATE FROM THE ACADEMY!"

and thus this gains everyone's attention Especially hinata who opening her eyes then thinks ("n-naruto")

And with it Hinata then looks up to see she isn't imagining it and Naruto then yells at her shouting: "ARE YOU JUST GONNA SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO HIM HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU!"

And with it Hinata then thinks ("N-Naruto... B-but h hes w-wrong a-and I-I ... N-No n-naruto i is r right i I've c come th-this f far N-Neji r-really d-doesn't k know m-me... Wh-Who I R-Really A-Am!")

gaining a little more confidence, Hinata then gets into her gentle fist fighting stance and neji seeing this says; "so you'd rather not forfeit... Your only fooling yourself more" and its here hinata then says: I-I Dont Care What You Believe"

And Neji then says: "if thats the way you want it... So Be It". And with it he then gets into his gentle fist stance and its here the two siblings now finally Clash. With Hinata willing to prove that despite her Faults. she will succeed.
