So.. new try out story. I am still writing my other crossover. If you are following that one don't worry. I am trying to get another chapter out this week. However this concept got stuck in my mind a while back (after I saw the Hunger games: Catching Fire) and it just would let go of me. So I started writing down notes, character description and even an outline. I written down of 18 pages of notes front and back, by hand.
I am not trying to recreate hunger games with naruto character. Of course similarities will happen but it is not meant to rape the Hunger Games or Naruto for that matter. If you have any question please ask them. I will answer them to the best of my extent. If you have any flames, please keep it to yourself. You don't help me at all by sharing that with me. Constructive criticism on the other hand is always welcome. It is very possible you will notice spelling errors and grammar mess ups, please notify these to me. I can't see them, English is not my first language and I am regretting that at the moment. (Although Dutch is almost as awesome!)
Please read and review!

Chapter I – Prologue
"It was 18 years ago, when the uprising against our dear leader commenced. Almost every country fell into the hands of the evil minds of this nation. The Hokage, the leader of the hidden leaf village, betrayed our dear daimyo, the leader of this great nation. What was even worse that the erratic ideals of the fourth Hokage influenced the other hidden villages of the elemental nations," the low voice of the talk show host says.
"Yes, I can't believe anyone fell for the absurd ideals he had. He wanted to obtain true piece by making the hidden village independent so they could choose not to meddle with the affairs of the daimyo. That's why we have hidden villages in the first place, Kamura-san. They are to be used to help us, civilians, who can't fend for themselves- They are our military force," the other guy said.
"Well, you could say he got his in the end, but so many unnecessary deaths because of his beliefs and wrong ideas. But on another note, Tobi-san, this is your fourth year as game maker of the Hidden Games. The reaping will this afternoon, do you think this year will be different than others?" the one known as Kamura said. He has short light green hair that was neatly combed but looked very oily, because too much product. His light grey eyes were as piercing as ever, which is a good quality to have if you are a talk show host. That is probably why he was able to keep the job for so long.
Tobi was pensive for a moment as he was mulling of the correct answer. thoughtfully he rubbed his dark red beard. There were rumors that the beard was once as dark as his black hair. But he enjoyed the deaths of the tributes so much that he bathes and washes himself in their blood, causing his beard turn change color over time. Others say he does it to fit in with the people of the Capitol. He had messy short black hair and matching black eyes. "Kamura-san, every year is different from the one before, all of our tributes are unique and they bring their own personalities to the games and honor the daimyo with their blood, sweat and tears. If anybody can think of a better way to honor our dear leaders of this great continent, let them speak now. But maybe that's why there has been a great silence for more than 18 years. The hidden villages were wrong to rebel, the younger generation knows that and are privileged to represent their village and gain acknowledgement for their efforts," Tobi sayswith a clear voice, he probably practices this speech in the mirror many times. There was a loud applause coming from the audience.
"That was beautiful, Tobi-san, I am looking forward to this year's games, the 18th Hidden Games." Kamura said with a dignified and showy voice. The audience clapped loudly as they all seem to agree with him. The sound all gone when the television was shut down.
"That's enough of that nonsense," Hinata Hyuuga says, her lavender pupil less eyes stays lingered on the television set. She knows she has to be careful with what she says but her bullshit level had just been reached. She stands up, out of her trance and heads for the door. Before the door she stops for a moment to look in the mirror. She grabs her waist-reaching hair and pulls it in a high ponytail, her hair still cascades of her back reaching just above the small of her back. The ponytail is able to keep most of her silky midnight blue hair in place, there are a few strands of her hair that encases her angelic face. She checks out her outfit in the long wall mirror. She wears black tight fitted pair capris, a lavender t-shirt with a dark purple vest with a broad collar that ends in a hoodie. The vest shows Hinata's small waist and gifted chest, although it is decently covered with the T-shirt. Whereas her black capris, show of her broad hips and slender legs. She rubs over her mother's old necklace and lets the hanger fall in her cleavage under her shirt. It is a simple silver necklace with her clans symbol on it, a fire with a spiral in it.
"Hyuuga-sama? Your back pack," a Hyuuga branch member says.
Arigatou, Ko-san", she replies with a smile.
"Please be safe, there are more ANBU and guards walking around because of the reaping. Just because you are no longer the heir to the Hyuuga clan, doesn't mean you have to be reckless," Ko says.
She knows he means well and she knows he is deeply concerned whenever she leaves the house. She gives him a kiss on the cheek, "Of course I'll be careful, I will see them coming in good time, Ko-san."
She grabs her back pack and throws it over her shoulder and goes outside.
She runs toward the meeting place where Uchiha Sasuke is probably already waiting for her, The Invisible hole. They used to climb over the walls of the hidden Leaf village but they were caught a couple of times. They talked about it being too risky, that's when they found the hole in the wall. There is an illusion, a genjutsu put on it. Sasuke saw through that immediately with his Sharingan eyes. Ever since they use the invisible hole to get out of the village so they can hunt.
Hinata is still bothered by what they said on the television about the fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. He was the hero of the third war, killed many enemies and kept the village safe. Many now question his sanity. That because of his many killings, the guilt made him strife for a true piece, not the sham that it is. He blamed the fact that we ninja are obliged to back the daimyo on their every whim That ninja are tools for the daimyo to use in their fights and wars, causing the hidden villages to fight each other without a real reason other than patriotism. The history books don't mention this though, not the approved ones. However at the Hyuuga clan, one of the clans who stood beside the Fourth Hokage, have the real history written down. It wasn't exactly their intention to have Hinata read it, but since she didn't have ninja training she had a lot of free time, so she found the books and read all of them.
People were shocked when she was passed as heir, but her younger sister, Hanabi, showed much more natural talent. Also because Hinata was annoyingly shy and timid as girl and that she doesn´t want to hurt other people, didn´t make her qualified to become a ninja. And since they can only have one ninja per clan family, they choose Hanabi as heir instead. Her cousin Neji was also taught but since he has a seal that can control and kill him in an instant they allowed it. It was all about control now, the Daimyo and especially the daimyo of Fire Country wants to control 'his' ninjas. Hinata never saw herself as a tool to be used and she is thankful she never has to be. She does know certain ninja skills, she was able to trade food for ninja skill lessons. Few people know this but she is at jounin level as a ninja. Being able to use genjutsu a little, chakra, her bloodline the byakugan. She even has mastered the element she has an affinity for, water. She has a different way of the Byakugan though, much more her own style, it's quick, flexible and not a movement is wasted. With the Byakugan she activates her strange looking eyes, this causes her to see chakra of other people in a 360 degree radius. She can see for over two miles at the moment and she can close the chakra points of other people's. This causes them to literally become paralyzed at where they were closed. She learned herself this in case of being reaped, she at least stood a chance of surviving.
Hinata was so lost in thought she didn´t notice where she was walking until she hears someone shout her name. She almost misses the turn of the street towards the invisible hole. She sees Sasuke standing there already, waving. 'The idiot, no one is supposed to know about that hole, he is almost advertising it at the moment.' She gestures to Sasuke to keep it down and he looks somewhat dejected. When she is close enough he begins talking. He wasn't this talkative when she saw him at school. They weren't working together then. He was known as one of the last Uchiha brothers, he and his brother Itachi. Though they say their names in shushed tones because of the Uchiha massacre mostly. Peoply don't want to open up old wounds or face one of the brothers that is angry.
The Uchiha massacre was the one night where all of the Uchiha's were killed except for the brothers. The brothers were saved so they can rebuild the clan and cleanse themselves of all their evil. That way the village doesn't lose one of its most powerful bloodlines. They were the one clan that was caught red handed to try and help the fourth Hokage. They were the one responsible for killing one of the Daimyo's sons and wife. The problem that it was not the idea or intention of the Fourth Hokage and it was actually a team effort between the Hyuuga's and the Uchiha's. They could only prove the Uchiha's case and the Hyuugas let them take the blame for both murders. Sasuke and Hinata were too young when all this happened so they don't actually know this part, Itachi does though. He rarely talks to Hinata and hates the Hyuuga for everything. He doesn't enlighten Sasuke with this knowledge because he doesn't want to destroy his relationship with his only friend. He did tell Hinata though and she feels guilty for what her clan did or didn't do, every time she sees either him or Sasuke struggle.
"You know, you could also just release the genjutsu so everyone will know a way out of the village," Hinata says in a low voice. Sasuke gives her an uneven smirk.
"You worry too much about getting caught. They all know us, they know what we do. If they wanted to get to us, they already would have, Hinata-san." Sasuke is one of the handsomest guys of the village. He doesn't have many fangirls, because of the bad reputation, but he is loved as Konoha's number one bad boy. He has raven colored hair, darker than her own. His hair has a lot of volume at the back in way that it sticks up, it kinds of reminds her of a duck. And he has fair skin, like herself, and the Uchiha onyx eyes. He is the same age as her, 18 years old. He has a lean masculine build, built for long athletic periods. He has a dark blue pants, a white t-shirt and a black vest with short sleeves with the Uchiha symbol on it. He is gazing at her and she knows it. "You look nice," he simply says.
"Thanks, you too," she feels kind of awkward saying this. "Ready to go, Sasuke?" Trying to quickly move past the awkward moment. He knows how she feels about him, why make it awkward. Sasuke gives her a simple nod with a knowing look of what she meant. They know each other pretty good after these years. So they are very able picking up the subtle hints of what they really mean.
They turn to the illusion and disappear from sight to the people of Konoha, only to appear at the other side.
