The Ballad of Hinata Hyuga

Masashi Kishimoto is an amazing artist and story teller and this work is based off his characters. The setting is based off what happens when the war is over from when the manga series ends.

Chapter 1

Post-War

After the 4th Great Ninja War the nations and villages made an agreement to strengthen the peace between their nations. Prior to the war, this would have been difficult to do, but after being comrades in battle and sharing the narrow survival that Naruto and Sasuke put their lives on the line for, they all shared a bond. The allied nations were closer to that then they had ever been.

The major threats presented by Tobi (Obito) and Madara Uchiha were erased and it really did seem that little to no threats were left to exist. Even though Orochimaru was present at the last battle, he was considered a minimal threat compared to what was already experienced. Perhaps he too, knew this, because after seeing the unimaginable power possessed by Naruto and Sasuke he disappeared. It seemed like fun for him to toy with the notion of crushing the leaf village when he assumed he couldn't be stopped, when the strength of the village did little to impress him. After witnessing the strength of the members from team 7, Orochimaru decided that better days lied ahead elsewhere.

Many people were dead, several were wounded, but the battle was over and it was time to go home. As the other villages returned home to share the story of Naruto and Sasuke's heroics, Naruto and Sasuke were partially healed on site by Sakura and Lady Tsunade until they could get back to the Leaf Village. There wasn't much left to their village as it was still being rebuilt, but medical units and shelters were set up until more permanent placements could be constructed.

The ninjas that could still walk and move reasonably well were tasked with carrying the ones that were immobile or dead from the battle field back to their villages. Great care was taken to help the neighboring nations so that everyone made it home safely.

Although it was a victory, the sight of those returning from the fight was horrific. A dead Neji Hyuga was being carried in on a stretcher by his cousin Hinata Hyuga and her team mate Shino Abarame, Naruto was also on a stretcher with his body covered up but with blood obviously seeping through the cloth. The village was bustling with the reconstruction effort a moment before, but now one could hear a pin drop. There was no sound but the wind wooshing past the somber faces of people as it passed through the village hidden in the leaves.
