chapter 1 unfortunte event
" I am sorry hinata...for dragging you into this" sasuke spoke with guilt.
"Its ok s-sasuke kun, if it is for the benefit of the village then it can't be helped..." hinata mumbled with a pitiful smile on her face.
After the great shinobi war sasuke had pledged his loyalty to konoha and helped naruto defeat madara in a fierce final battle. However due to sasukes infamous status as a rogue nin, many countries wanted him dead. They did not like the sound of another Uchiha clan rising and another uchiha starting a war again. Naruto the newly appointed hokage, to save his best friend pleaded to save sasuke's life and since sasuke had helped end the war with madara the countries agreed to spare his life. However when it came to the matter of the uchiha clan, the other countries feared the idea. It was sasuke's ambition to rebuild his clan and restore the reputation of the uchiha clan. The only solution the other countries allowed was if the uchiha was to be betrothed to a respectful noble clan and if the uchiha clan pledged eternal loyalty to the hokage. This was all in order to control and keep an eye on the uchiha clan so another madara or reckless Uchiha wouldn't arise.
Hinata became embroiled in this political power struggle because she was the eldest daughter of the most noble and respected clan the hyuuga. Also because the hyuuga were closely related to the uchiha clan so it would guarantee that the future uchiha children would have a strong bloodline and all of them would have the sharingan and not the byakugan as the uchiha gene was more dominant.
hinata sat calm and composed wearing a blue kimono while looking at the rock garden, lost in thought. sasuke who had his hands in his pockets and was leaning against a wall sighed as he looked at the rock garden too as the red sun began to set. he decided to cut the distance between them and sat next to hinata, making hinata a little surprised.
"hinata I can't promise anything but I'll try my best to look after you. Thank you." sasuke said with a serious expression on his face.
"s-sasuke kun I also can't promise that i can forget n-naruto kun...but I'll try my best to accept you but i will need some time" hinata stuttered with all her courage as she let her true feelings out.
sasuke slid his hand to hold hinatas but she pulled away and apologized. hinata left the patio in a rush. It was clear hinata was the one most hurt as she had sacrificed a lot for the peace. if this alliance didn't happen the other countries could go to war with konoha over the uchiha. She did not want to put the village in danger. she did not want to put the hokage naruto in danger.
