I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANY WAY OR FORM…..yet. (Laughs manically and rubs hands together planning a plan)

This is a re-uploaded edited version of this story from my old account Sweet Temari of the sand!

It was a reader fav. So I felt I should re-upload it and continue it!

I am combining the first 2 chapters because they were short so here is chapter one and two of a weak heir no more.

Chapter 1 the end is near

Hinata was panting heavily trying, unsuccessfully to catch her breath. She had been running for what seemed like forever, desperately trying to elude her pressures. Suddenly pain had overwhelmed her right arm; a kunai had penetrated her skin. Blood pouring down her snow white arm. Quickly Hinata activated her Byakugan, searching the area for any signs of life. She had lost little blood, yet it was already affecting her vision. She was disgusted at how weak she was. Oh how Hinata wanted to be strong and powerful, like her father, cousin, and yes even her younger sister Hanabi. Slowly Hinata felt a very powerful chakra approach her hiding spot behind a tree. Was this the end, was she going to die at the age of 14, by the hands of someone she did not know. Only a few hours ago she had been with Kiba and Shino on a C-ranked mission. But in as little as an hour it had turned into an A-ranked mission, where any thing could happen, anyone could die.

Hinata had been separated from her friends one by one, until only she remained. She could feel her friends were safe, but for how long? The day had started so nice how could it end up like this, with her and one of the strongest Shinobi ever to come out of Konohagakure Facing off, till one remained standing. In her hart she knew it wouldn't be her she was week; she knew this because so many had told her this day after day, since she was 3, since her mother had died. She was ready to die; if she died her clan would have a worthy heir, Hanabi. Neji, her Cousin would be happy not to have to watch over her any more. And surly her father would be unaffected by her death. The only one's she thought that would show a little remorse would be her team mates Kiba and Shino.

The Chakra approached a little more rapidly, obviously now knowing where she was. Hinata braced for the impact of a weapon any weapon that would end her mild week existence.

She wasn't going to try the dodge the attack, what kind of Kunoichi was she? This thought ran through Itachi's mind as he charged toward the young frightened Girl. Suddenly he noticed her breathing change from quick shallow breaths, to slow deep ones. Had she accepted her fate or was she planning something… either way she would die. Itachi quickly did a hand sign as to disperse any Justus she may have preformed. As he did this, he threw a Kunai at the young girl; she grasped her arm in pain. Itachi could only imagine what was running through her little mind as she waited for death.

The chakra was closing the distance between them second by second, inch by inch. Until Hinata swore it was right above her. She stood there still waiting for the hand of her enemy to slice her throat, to end her life. What was the point of fighting back, to try an escape? And if she escaped she would be severely injured, deprived of chakra, and would most likely end up slowly bleeding to death in a ditch somewhere. Minuets passed still she felt no blade at her neck. Hinata slowly opened her eyes to see a man in a ebony cloak with red clouds strewn about it standing in front of. Why had he not killed her yet, did he plain on torturing her with his Sharingan?

Or did he just want to make her wait for her fate.

"Why do you not try to dodge my attack Kunoichi" Itachi's scratchy voice asked

Hinata was silent. She didn't want to answer she had already accepted her fate. Itachi was annoyed that she didn't answer.

"Answer me Kunoichi" this time his voice was enraged.

Hinata's eyes widened when she heard his voice it reminded her of her father when he was about to beat her for not excelling in training. This made her answer.

"It-t-'s no u-s-e"

Itachi kept his poker face yet … he was interested. "What's no use?"

"Life" this Hinata said with no stutter because she was certain. Life wasn't worth living.

Itachi was stunned though he didn't let it show on his face. He hadn't seen someone care so little about there own life since… him. This girl who was she… he couldn't see her face for her head was down, and her eyes covered by her hair. She seemed to stutter a lot. He could tell she wasn't the strongest or the most confident ninja by the way she held her body. Her small hand held her arm where the kunai entered her now blood covered sleeve of her tan coat. She was trying so hard not to let him see her pain. But nothing could fool those cold blood red Sharingan

Eyes. He waited for her to continue. She felt this; she didn't want to but had to. "Why live when every day you feel like you're already dead. You're just an empty shell walking through a daily routine of pain, worthlessness and suffering" Hinata looked up at the man who would end her meaningless existence. He didn't look like a cold blooded killer to her, just a man, a man in pain, a man who was never fully understood , a man who was judged by what he accomplished not by who he was, a man who was… just like her.

Itachi was surprised when the girl looked up and she had the eyes of a Hyuuga. He had never heard a Hyuuga say such things. Suddenly a memory from his past entered his brain once again.

FLASHBACK

His mother and father dragged him and his pathetic younger brother Sasuke to the Hyuuga Mansion. Even though the two clans had had disagreements in the past they had mended there severed ties and now his parents were quiet close to the head family of the Hyuuga clan. They were going there to celebrate the birth of the head fathers 2nd child…but also to morn the loss of his wife. They entered the enormous mansion and his parents were quickly shown to the new born child. Sasuke ran off when he saw a buy about his age walk toward them. Itachi wasn't interested at all so he decided to fallow Sasuke and the boy who was about Sasuke's age. They stopped as they rounded a corner and herd a voice's small cries.

"Who's that crying" Sasuke asked the young boy

"I think it's Hinata-Sama" the boy answered

"Well should we see what's wrong Neji-kun?" Itachi's younger brother asked

"I guess" Neji said as he walked down the hall toward Hinata's room. Sasuke and Itachi fallowed. Neji opened the door and walked over to his cousin who was crouched in the corner silently weeping. "Hinata-Sama…"Hinata looked up to the silver eyes of her Beloved cousin. "What's wrong?"

"N-e-e-j-i(breath) I-I'-m a-ll a-lo-one (breath) K-n-ow. "

"no your not you have me and Hiashi-Sama" at the mention of her fathers name Hinata seemed to Shutter for a moment. That was the first and last time Itachi saw the Hyuuga Heiress be for today

END FLASHBACK

He remembered her full name Hyuuga Hinata

"Your name is Hinata Hyuuga. Isn't it?"

Hinata looked at the face of the Akatsuki member before her, his face was virtually unfazed. How did he know her name, then it hit her, he had been an ANBU Black op. in Konohagakure, so of course he knew who she was. Every time Hinata would skip out on practice, her father would send a search party (mostly ANBU) to find her.

"Hi-i-a" (yes)

"Why would a Hyuuga…you the heir to the head family want to die?"

"The For-m-or Heir to the hea-d ho-use"

That made sense when Itachi had first seen her he was so shocked that this small delicate girl was the heir to the main house. Her father must have disowned her. That's why she had no fear of death…because she had no reason to live. A Ninja like that could be a valuable asset to him.

"How would you like to be strong, to prove your clan wrong."
