This is a short story I am doing because since I did one about Boruto it seemed unfair not to do one about Himawari. Also I decided not to make her abilities just a carbon copy of her brother's. I wanted them to have different skills and different assets they could bring to the table. I also hope you the readers like how I am portraying Himawari. Anyway hope you enjoy it. This story takes place after I am Boruto Uzumaki and I Am Hyuuga.

Himawari Uzumaki looked up at the screen as she stuffed popcorn in her mouth while she wore 3D glasses. This was definitely not the first time she saw this movie, this was however a very special occasion. Her father who was normally busy with his role as Hokage, got to accompany her , her mother and her brother. Her favorite scene was coming up.
On the movie screen...
A Kunoichi wearing red pants and a mesh top. She sported long flowing red hair.
" Are you looking for your comrade?" Said a kunoichi wearing a blue kimono, she had white hair and piercing red eyes. " He's just beyond this door. " She unsheathed a katana.
The red-haired heroine unsheathed a ninjato, and the two kunoichi clashed blades.
Himawari looked on intently at the edge of her seat. This did not go unnoticed by her parents.
Later the Uzumaki family was walking out of the theatre...
" Nii-san wasn't that the coolest?" Himawari said.
" Sis, this is the 3rd time you saw that movie."
" I know, but it's stills cool!" Himawari said.
" It was a cool movie sweetie. I'm glad we got to see it." Naruto said.
Himawari lunged at her father hugging him. " I'm glad you got to come Tou-chan!"
" Yea, 'bout time you got to do something with us." Boruto said slyly.
Hinata cocked an eyebrow at her son.
" Ok, you get that one for free." Naruto said.
" But yeah Tou-chan..." Boruto said. " ...I really am glad you got to come."
Hinata was relieved her son had said that.
" I know I'm busy a lot. But you guys are the most important thing to me. Remember that."
Himawari smiled. As did her mother.
Later, Naruto and Hinata were talking after their kids had gone to bed.
" You know, Himawari really likes those sword fight scenes." Hinata said.
" Yeah. Did you see her at the movie?" Naruto asked.
" It's not just that." Hinata said.
Her husband looked at her oddly.
" When we were at Ten-Ten's shop the other day. She kept staring at the twin ninjato she had up and even asked if she could hold one."
" Heh..." Naruto said.
" You know...she doesn't have the same interest in juu-ken like Boruto..." Hinata said.
Naruto was getting just a little nervous now.
" I think she might be interested in blades."
" I was afraid you were going to say that." Naruto said.
" Maybe it's just a phase." Hinata said.
"And if not?"
Hinata sighed as she sat next to Naruto, she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Time passed and Himawari's interest in swords was becoming more apparent. Her 6th birthday was soon approaching. Naturally Hiashi Hyuuga wanted to throw a big elaborate bash, being the doting grandfather he is. The day of her birthday, Himawari had a huge celebration.
She ran up and jumped into her grandfather's arms. " Jii-san Thank you!" She said, grateful for the large turnout.
" Of course dear, Happy Birthday!" Hiashi said.
The party ensued and Himawari spent much of it playing and dancing with her friends and brother. Soon it was time to open gifts. Hinata brought out an elongated yellow box with a red ribbon on it.
She smiled at Naruto as she walked by. Naruto was excited to see his daughter open her gift.
" Happy Birthday honey, this is from your father and I." Hinata said.
Judging from the size and shape of the box and feeling the weight once in her hands, Himawari got excited, she felt all the hints she was dropping to her parents had finally paid off.
She pulled the lid open excitedly. " You really got me some! It's...!" Himawari pulled out her gift from the box. "...It's..." She observed her present to be 2 wooden bokken roughly the size of ninjato. They were slightly curved and smooth to the touch, the wood was of a dark oak color. Himawari had a puzzled look on her face. " Wh..what are these?"
" They're Bokken! I helped Ka-chan and Tou-chan pick 'em out!" Boruto said.
" Oh..." A sweat drop came down the side of Himawari's face. " I-I love them!" She said smiling at her family.
Hinata noticed a hint of hesitation in her voice.
The next day Himawari sat alongside her best friend ChouChou Akimichi at her house, she looked down at her "swords"
"(Sigh) Why did they get me these baby toys? They're embarrassing, I'm 6 now. I can handle real blades."
To the side, ChouChou's mother Karui listened in.
" You ever used blades before?" ChouChou asked as she ate a chocolate bar.
" Welllllllll no. But how will I be able to if I don't get some?" Himawari asked.
Karui cocked an eyebrow.
Later...
" Ka-chan?" Himawari said.
" Yes sweetie?" Hinata said.
" I really like these fake swords and all? But when do you think I'll be able to get real swords?"
Hinata raised her eyebrow. "Fake swords?"
Himawari looked up at her mother with her classic puppy dog technique, a technique that could work wonders on her father, and even her brother from time to time.
" Honey, let's go out to the back." Hinata smiled.
" Ok!" Himawari said enthusiastically. She slid open the door and ran out.
Hinata met her in the back patio.
" Honey..." Hinata said softly. " ...strike me."
Himawari was stunned, she looked down at her Bokken. " s-strike you?"
" Mmhmm." Hinata said.
" Kaa-chan, I don't want to hurt you." Himawari said.
" Don't worry, you won't." Hinata said.
Himawari was rather hesitant. She shakily picked up her dual Bokken hesitantly and walked toward her mother. Hinata stood there. Himawari then jumped at her, suddenly both bokken disappeared from her hands. She looked at her hands confused. She then looked at her mother with shock to see that she had snatched them right out of her hands.
Hinata collected the bokken in one hand and handed them back to her daughter. She then knelt down and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders.
" Honey, you must train with these, when I cannot take them from you then we will discuss real blades." She said.
" H-Hai." Himawari said. shocked that her mother took the bokken from her so easily.
The next day Himawari was once again at her friend's house.
" This stinks." She pouted. "I'll never get real blades."
Karui then slid open the front door.
" Ohayo Senpai!" Himawari said.
" Hi Himawari-chan, did you enjoy your birthday?" Karui asked.
Himawari nodded happily. " Hai! Thank you for coming."
" Those were fine looking Bokken you got for your birthday. Would you mind if I took a look a tone?"
Himawari knew that Karui used swords alot, so she valued her input.
" Sure!" Himawari handed a blade to Karui.
Karui held up the Bokken and gave a practice swing. She then got a feel fpor the weight of it.
"The weight is very realistic. It's perfectly aligned." She said observing it. " Yes, your mother made a fine choice for a beginner sword." Karui handed Himawari back her Bokken.
" But they're not swords." Himawari pouted.
"Himawari-chan, you must first learn to handle the weight of blades before you can hold them. These are perfect to train with." Kari said.
Himawari sighed.
"Himawari-chan.." Karui showed the young Uzumaki her arms. " This is what happens when you don't respect your blade." She showed a few scars on her knuckles as well as a big one on her forearm. " I wish I had thought to start off with Bokken."
Himawari never noticed the scars on her before.
" Himawari-chan, train hard with the Bokken, without the fear of cutting yourself."
" Ok..." she said.
" Hmm." Karui then looked to her daughter. " Perhaps we should start getting you beginner swords."
" Tssh, I ain't getting my hands cut up." ChouChou said in a sassy manner as she looked at her left hand.
Karui's eyes became white with anger.
Weeks passed...
Himawari watched as Boruto was maintaining the Twin Lion Fist much better than he had a few years back in his fight with Kinjo. She watched as his fists became a flurry of lions against a post.
(grumble) "Nii-san you're such a show off sometimes." she thought.
Later...
Hiashi just blocked a kick from Boruto. " Excellent Boruto." Hiashi said.
Himawari wore Hyuuga training attire and had her bokken next to her.
" Dear, it's your turn." Hiashi said to his granddaughter. He walked over and picked up his kendo stick that was leaning against the wall.
" Hai." Himawari picked up her weapons and approached her grandfather.
" Ready?" Hiashi said getting into stance with the kendo stick.
"When I cannot take them from you, then we will discuss real blades."
" Himawari-chan, train hard with the Bokken, without the fear of cutting yourself."
The words from both of them rang through her head.
" If Kaa-chan is ever going to let me get real blades, I have to show her I can handle them."
" Hai!" Himawari said as they began.
