Naruto's friends go to cheer up Naruto for failing the test to become a Shinobi. Hiashi is disappointed his daughter wants to associate herself with the Jinchuuriki and forces her to battle Hanabi. Due to refusing to hurt her sister, Hiashi uses this as an excuse to disown her and exile her from the clan. The Third Hokage calls a meeting among other clan heads to discuss what to do with her. Choza volunteers to adopt her since he believes family is of a higher priority, no matter what slight she did. And he also wishes to redeem himself for having briefly been apart of those lynch mobs that hunted Naruto when he was a child.

In regards to warnings about this fanfiction, it has the standard warnings about the Naruto series, such as fighting that can get pretty mature and several mature words. Also, this story deals with Hinata becoming what is known online as a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman). If you got an issue, F### off. Although, if I'm honest, I doubt many people will want to read this on Fanfiction. Deviantart, yes, but this is meant to be more subdued than most works in this category, so, again, same problem. This deals with mostly canon pairings (More developed if you ask me), and an AU as far as Hinata, for now anyway. This story doesn't have anything too dark, it's meant to have the same upbeat feeling of Naruto...Before jumping off the slippery slope. When I write stories, and if you notice with my other works, I write a chapter whenever I have freetime. That doesn't mean that I'll be publishing weeks after I publish a chapter. I have other stories to write, ya'know. I got the idea from the story Cibus Esculentus Madoka Magica.

Oh, and nothing belongs to me, except for one OC to be a perspective. The rest belongs to Kishimoto.

Our story begins 12 years after a nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves. Shinobi and Kunoichi rose up to battle the colossal monster, but none defeated it, except for the Fourth Hokage, a man with unimaginable powers riding atop a toad of equal size. The Fourth Hokage died sealing away the creature within a human body. Now, here, in the present, is where the story begins. At the academy where children are trained and taught how to become the next generation of ninja, one student has caused trouble. A boy, with blonde hair and blue eyes with whisker marks on his cheeks, dressed in orange and a pair of goggles, has just painted graffiti on the mountainous monument of the four Hokage. And now, the whole class is in trouble, thanks to Naruto Uzumaki. It's very mundane though, just a simple transformation technique. Remedial work, and two have to make a comment. The boy with a bored expression with his spiky hair in a ponytail, exhales, "This is a waste of time."

The girl next to him, a blonde girl dressed in purple, comments, "We always pay for your screwups, Naruto."

Naruto snorts, "Like I care."

A blushing girl, pressing her fingers together, dressed in a cream colored hoodie, with short indigo hair and eyes like lavender pearls, whispers, "G-Good luck, N-Naruto. D-Do your best."

Naruto decides to transform into a mature woman that looks like him if he was born a girl with pigtails, with the only modesty being smoke. Everyone stares at him with wide eyes, or have nosebleeds, or both. Naruto can't stop laughing. Iruka screams at the top of his lunges, "CUT THE STUPID TRICKS, PUNK!"

The next day, Iruka makes an announcement, "We will now start the final exam. When your name is called, please go to the testing area, where you will be tested on your use of the clone jutsu."

Everyone passes, except for Naruto. As everyone is outside, enjoying the moment, Naruto is moping by the one swing tied to a lonely tree watching. A voice by his side says, "Sorry, man."

He turns to see the boy with the spiky ponytail, who he recognizes, "Hey, Shikamaru. Wearing your headband on your sleeve? That's different."

It is true, most would tie the blue cloth with a metal plate containing a symbol that is a blend of a leaf and a whirlpool on their forehead, but he's wearing it like a band around his arm. He apologizes, "Yeah. Listen, you might be troublesome, but not even you deserve to be alone right now."

Another voice admits, "He's right, Naruto."

Naruto turns to see a boy with slit for eyes, red fangs tattooed to his cheeks, and wearing a fur lined hoody comes up with a white dog resting on his head. Naruto nods, "Hey, Kiba. Hey, Akamaru."

The dog barks, and the boy says, "Akamaru says hi. Listen, if you want, you can join me, Shikamaru, and the others for barbecue, that way you won't be by yourself."

"He has a point."

Naruto turns his head again, to see a portly boy with brown spiky hair, dressed in shorts and bandages wrapped around his hands with red swirls tattooed to his cheeks, munching on a bag of potato chips, "The clone jutsu was a tough break, man. If it was that sexy jutsu of yours, you'd pass with any red blooded man."

This makes Naruto laugh, with Shikamaru comment, "You're troublesome, Uzumaki. All it takes is a simple joke and it lightens your mood instantly."

Naruto decides to joke, "Well, there's one thing I like about the academy. I get older and the girls stay the exact same!"

This makes all the boys laugh at this. Once they all stop laughing, Kiba has an epiphany, "Oh, crap. This means that now the girlfriend pool has dropped significantly. If we're not careful, we'll be those old men hanging out at sake bars hitting on women old enough to be their granddaughters."

Shikamaru throws his hands up, "If you ask me, women are troublesome."

Choji comments, "Knowing you, you'll marry the first girl you kiss. And you'll end up like your dad."

Kiba comments, "Hope I don't end up like my dad. Mom's a scary woman. Knowing you, Naruto, you'll probably save yourself for Sakura. Even though every girl is obsessed with the elite Uchiha."

"U-Um, I'm not, Kiba."

Everyone turns to see the cream hoodie girl. Choji whispers, "Whoa, Hinata Hyuuga, the first girl to not be brainwashed. She's a viable girlfriend. Now to find out how she likes food."

Naruto smiles to her, "Congratulations, Hinata. I'm happy you graduated. I'm happy all of you guys graduated. Anyway, you guys should head home already. I've now gotta study how to make a stupid clone."

He gets up to leave, before bumping into a silver haired teacher at the academy. Meanwhile, a pair of men with eyes like Hinata are watching her keenly. One of them, a tall man with long brown hair swept to his back dressed in royal robes, comments, "Did you, see that, Hiroshi?"

His associate, a slightly younger man, with shaggy indigo hair, comments, "It is probably nothing, Hiashi. She is just a little girl, after all."

Hiashi questions, "Are you looking at her as my daughter, the clan heiress? Or as your late sister's daughter and niece?"

Hiroshi admits, "I always look at her as both, Hiashi."

Hiashi thinks aloud, "We must do something to quell this...Interest in the demon."

Hiroshi counters, "She's lonely, Hiashi. And being around pressure for so long can do things to her confidence. She sees the boy as somebody to look up to."

Hiashi tells him, "She needs to learn to look past such trivial things. Tonight, she will learn, or she will no longer be the heiress of the clan."

Hiroshi is shocked, "You're going to make her fight Neji!? You know she can't win against him! He's the best and brightest of the clan!"

Hiashi corrects, "I never said Neji."

Hiroshi looks at him with horror, "You're going to make her fight Hanabi? You can't do that to her! You know she won't raise a hand against her own sister!"

Hiashi explains, "There are consequences to scandals like this. And she needs to learn that."

Hiroshi questions, "Scandal? She just went to talk to the social pariah! You call that scandal!?"

Hiashi admits, "Anything is a scandal these days. Like when Kumo came into our home. And do not question me like that again. The only reason why I don't correct you to say Lord Hyuuga is because you're the last brother I have, if by a marriage that died with Hana."

Hiroshi becomes sullen, "As you command...Lord Hyuuga."

Hiashi leaves the court yard, "Now then, bring Hinata to the dojo in proper apparel. And pray to Kami she wins."

Hiroshi becomes pale, but then becomes enraged as his hands become fists, thinking to himself, 'I will, Hiashi, even if I'm the only person in the main family who will.'

Hinata approaches him, "G-Good afternoon, Uncle Hiroshi."

Hiroshi smiles, "Good afternoon, my little dove. Come, we have to get home. There's...Much to be done."

As the afternoon sun is setting, Hinata is in a basic gi on one end of a dojo surrounded by the various members of the main and branch family of the Hyuga clan. On the other end is a girl with tan skin, lavender pearl eyes, and brown hair standing across from her, with Hiashi by her side. Hiroshi is by Hinata's side, having told her all that is happening on the way to the dojo. Hiroshi tells her, "Remember your basics, Hinata. If you can do that, then you can defend all day. Just keep your resolve. Please keep your resolve."

Hinata nods, "I-I know. Good luck, H-Hanabi."

The girl, Hanabi nods, "You too, big sis."

Hiashi speaks, "Enough banter. Begin!"

Hanabi charges at Hinata and throws a series of punches, which Hinata is able to dodge. Hiroshi whispers under his breath, "Come on, Hinata. I know how you feel about this, but you must win."

Hanabi keeps punching while Hinata starts blocking, before Hanabi sweeps her off her feet, and jabs her in the arm. Hanabi states, "It's over, Hinata. I've blocked the flow of Chakra. I'm sorry."

Hinata nods, "It's alright."

"Finish her."

Everyone looks at Hiashi, like he turned into the nine tailed fox, before he repeats, "Finish her, Hanabi."

Hanabi questions, "H-How, father? She's lost the use of Chakra?"

Hiashi explains, "The match isn't over until she loses consciousness."

Hiroshi steps forward, "That was not part of the requirements of this match, Hiashi."

Hiashi counters, "It is if Hanabi wishes to prove she's worthy of being my heir."

Hanabi looks around, unsure of what to do, until Hinata whispers, "D-Do it, Hanabi."

Hanabi cries as she throws a punch at Hinata's face that knocks her out cold. Hanabi stands, hiding her face so it can't be shown. Hiashi smiles, "Congratulations, Hanabi Hyuuga. You are now heir of the clan. Hiroshi Hyuuga, take Hinata and her things out of this compound immediately."

Hiroshi objects, "But, Hi-Lord Hyuuga, she hasn't even woken up yet! You can't kick her out yet!"

Hiashi questions, "Who says I can't?"

Hiroshi is left speechless, leaving him to turn to a female maid, "Natsu. Can you please help me pack Hinata's things while I'm gone? You don't have to pack everything when I return. I might as well aide you in this difficult task when I do return."

Natsu nods, "Of course, Lord Hiroshi."

Hiroshi picks up Hinata, commenting, "Come on, Little Dove. We have much to do."

Hiroshi carries Hinata all the way to the Hokage office. He sits her on a couch in the reception, and asks the secretary, "Excuse, is the Lord Hokage in?"

The secretary states, "He is. But there are urgent matters. Apparently that Uzumaki boy has stolen the sacred scroll of sealing."

Hiroshi eyes pop out of their sockets, "Oh. Well, when he is done, can you send a messenger to the Hyuuga compound to let me know? I have things I must attend to. In the meantime, can I leave my niece to rest on that couch?"

The secretary nods, "Of course."

Hiroshi rubs Hinata's forehead, "I'll be back, Little Dove."

Hiroshi spends the rest of the night aiding Natsu in packing up the rest of Hinata's things. As it turns out, much of the branch family has aided her. Hiroshi sets down the last box, "I must apologize, Natsu. I meant to pull my weight when it came to this."

Natsu bows, "All is forgiven, Lord Hiroshi. The family insisted on aiding Lady Hinata. It will be different without her."

Hiroshi adds, "Yes. I'm calling it the end of the golden age. The age when Hinata was most loved by the family. Personally, I think it's a shame. She's been exiled over a boy who's being hunted by the chunin and jonin for a theft he probably didn't commit."

Natsu questions, "What makes you say that, Lord Hiroshi?"

Hiroshi explains, "Have you ever thought of that boy being smart enough to steal a scroll created by the First Hokage? I feel like there's something more to this. I also don't believe even it can manipulate Naruto in such a way. It's had plenty of years to try."

Natsu questions, "If you don't mind me asking, but where did you bring Lady Hinata?"

Hiroshi answers, "The Hokage office. When this business is done with, I plan on working with him to aide her however he can. Since we finished early, I'd best go check to see if she woke up."

He goes through the labyrinth of the compound, before he hears muffled crying. He goes to where he knows it will be, and knocks on the door.

"Go away!"

Hiroshi exhales, "Hanabi, it's your uncle, can I talk to you?"

Hanabi opens the door, and her hairs a mess, her face is covered in her tears, and her nose running. She goes to sit on her bed, while Hiroshi questions, "Has...Anyone spoken to you since the incident?"

Hanabi screams, "No! Nobody has come! Not even father! He made me hurt my sister so he could exile her! I'm a horrible person and nothing I do can undo that!"

Hiroshi puts his hand on her shoulder, "No. Hanabi. You're not a horrible person. The way how this clan treats each other, is. If you feel bad about what you did, will you join me to the Hokage's office to check on Hinata?"

Hanabi nods in assurance, making Hiroshi state, "Alright. Now, let's get you cleaned up so your father won't lecture you."

Hiroshi and Hanabi made it to the Hokage's office without incident. When they'd gotten there, Hinata was still fast asleep. Hiroshi comments as they sit, "What a fantastic first day as a Kunoichi."

Hinata eventually shuffles before sitting up, like nothing had happened. Hanabi screeches, "Big sis!"

She rushes to hug Hinata and starts crying into her, "Imsorryimsorryimsorry!"

Hinata pats her head, "Y-You're alright, Hanabi. I knew what would happen, s-so don't blame yourself."

Hiroshi comments, "If you ask me, I blame your idiot father."

Eventually, the Hokage, an ancient man with wrinkles and a stray goatee on the tip of his chin, dressed in white with a hat with the kanji for fire on it, smoking on a pipe, announces, "Well, this was an interesting night. Naruto Uzumaki was tricked into stealing a forbidden scroll by his sensei Mizuki, learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and Iruka Umino just made him a genin. Now then, Hiroshi. What is it you wished to speak to me about?"

Hiroshi begins going over everything that happened, from Hiashi looking at Hinata talking to Naruto as a possible scandal, to Hinata and Hanabi's fight, to Hinata's exile. Hiroshi concludes, "She has nowhere else to go, Lord Hokage. The Hyuuga clan have been very isolated when it comes to the rest of the village, as well as the fact that Hinata cannot really afford a place on her own. And I can't leave because Hanabi would still need me."

The Hokage exhales smoke, "Well then, now I have another thing to bring up to the jonin when they return. We'll also need to call in the rest of the clan heads, except for Hiashi, obviously. You're free to join the upcoming meeting, though, Hiroshi. We'll need you input."

Hiroshi nods, "Thank you, Lord Hokage."

The rest of the morning is dealt with the Hokage dealing with many civilians and elders, arguing against Naruto becoming a shinobi and against him not being punished. Hiroshi was surprised he was able to convince them that the true culprit, Mizuki, will be punished accordingly and along with the fact he broke the law that only Naruto cannot truly know. As everyone rises to leave, the Hokage raises a hand, "Honorable clan leaders, respected jonin. Please stay just a while longer. We have one more matter to bring up."

They all return to take a seat, but the Hokage stares at Hiashi Hyuuga, "Except for you, Hiashi. You're free to go."

Hiashi scoffs, "May I ask why?"

"It involves Hinata."

Hiashi narrows his eyes at his brother-in-law, and then takes his leave. One of the clan heads, a man with dirty blonde hair with his long hair kept in a ponytail, questions, "Lord Hokage, what is it about Hiashi's daughter that he can't be here for?"

The Hokage answers, "Inoichi. The reason is because he forced his own daughters to fight each other until Hinata was knocked out cold because she was in a group talking to Naruto."

This shocks a lot of people. Inoichi comments, "I'll admit, I don't like the kid for painting graffiti around town, but beating a child by proxy? That's insane."

A feral woman with wild eyes and red fangs tattooed to her cheeks, comments, "My son, Kiba, was in that same group and I didn't have a single complaint about the brat. What was Hiashi's issue?"

Hiroshi answers, "Simple, Tsume. He was afraid of a scandal, like when Kumo came into this village. Into his home. Although, I agree with you. But it gets worse."

A scarecrow of a man with all but a single eye on his face covered, with spiked silver hair, raises a gauntleted hand, "How does it get worse?"

Hiroshi answers, "Because, Kakashi, Hiashi disowned her as an heir and a Hyuuga. She is now officially homeless."

This makes many people scowl. A portly man with spiky red hair and waves tattooed to his cheeks, comments, "Family is a first priority in family. It should never be such trivial things. And family should never be forced to cause serious injury to each other."

The Hokage admits, "I agree, Choza. Which means that now we need to decide what to do with Hinata."

A woman with a mane of black hair with red eyes, raises a bandaged hand, "Can she stay with me, Lord Hokage?"

The Hokage closes his eyes, "I appreciate your zeal, Kurenai. But it isn't that simple. Technically, Hinata doesn't have a last name anymore. She must be adopted. And it would look bad if a genin is adopted by her future sensei. That's why Kakashi has been denied adoption rights for Naruto for years."

A man that looks like an older Shikamaru with a scar and a goatee like the Hokage comments, "Well, most of us can't do it, not on the fly like you think. We have our own troublesome family to think of."

The Hokage admits, "You have a point, Shikaku. Kurenai, you can adopt since you don't have any other family, but however, Danzo and the other elders wouldn't allow it. Others can, but like Shikaku said, most of you already have families to take time to the idea."

A man with a beard and dark hair smoking a cigarette comments, "So, the warhawk wants to adopt Naruto for his cloak and dagger garbage but won't allow Kurenai to adopt a Hyuuga?"

The Hokage assures, "I don't disagree with you, Asuma. But it would be very difficult for Kurenai. She'd need more income to take care of Hinata, at least the salary of two Jonin, like any other family...And since I don't see my honorable son admitting he's been dating her for the last couple weeks, I'm afraid I don't see you two moving in right away." He ends with a sinister smirk.

Kurenai and Asuma blush a deep red.

"My family could take her in."

Everyone turns to Choza, with his hand raised high. Hiroshi blusters, "C-Choza!? Are you sure? This is a huge responsibility."

Choza nods, "I'm positive. My wife always wanted to turn one of the spare bedrooms into a second room for if we ever had a second child. I'm...A little embarrassed to say we hadn't had much success since Choji was born. Plus, she always wanted a little girl. And Hiroshi, I promise you that I'll be more of a father to the girl than your pig-headed brother in law ever was."

Hiroshi questions, "There's more to this, because I've never seen you so determined before."

Choza swallows, "Well...A few years back, when there were those lynch mobs after the Uzumaki boy before he was even ten...I joined in one time...The look in that boy's eyes...Of absolute fear...I know what I'm doing won't make up for what I unintentionally did to the boy, but I have to try something. And I have a gut feeling this girl will help me atone for my past mistakes."

Hiroshi admits, "Alright. He's sold me. Lord Hokage, I think he can adopt her."

One by one, each jonin and clan head states, "Aye."

The Hokage exhales, "Alright. Choza Akimichi, I will prepare the paperwork to make it official. To be honest, I was hoping it would be you to volunteer, given the Akimichi clan's expertise in medicine, Hinata's expertise. Is there anything else to be said?"

Kurenai blurts out, "I'm single!"

Everyone looks at her and Asuma, like their about to melt. Asuma adds, "Me too, dad!"

The Hokage clears his throat, "Anything else?"

Choza asks, "Hiroshi, how do you feel about Hinata having an...Akimichi diet? To learn our techniques?"

Hiroshi looks confused, before going wide eyed, "Oh...Well...I believe that's up to her."

Choza nods, "Makes sense."

The Hokage nods, "Alright. Meeting adjourned. Hiroshi, Choza, you two should go talk to Hinata with me."

Hiroshi comments, "There is much to be done."

The three walk into the Hokage's office, where Hinata is waiting patiently with Hanabi sitting beside her. Hanabi jumps into Hiroshi's arms, "Morning to you too, you little spidermonkey!"

Hinata bows, "G-Good morning, Lord Hokage, Mr. Akimichi."

Choza bows to her, "Such a refined girl. You're sister had a good daughter, Hiroshi."

Hiroshi nods, "Thank you, Choza."

The Hokage speaks up, "Hinata, I just brought up to various jonin and clan heads your predicament and Choza here volunteered to be your adopted father. Kurenai Yuhi also volunteered but it was pointed out that she wouldn't be able to support you and her in the immediate time. How does that make you feel?"

"...G-Grateful."

Hiroshi comments, "But there's a bit more details, Hinata."

Choza explains, "You see the marks on my cheeks? You've probably noticed on my son Choji that he has similar marks. These are tattooed blood seals, which is what allows us to control our chakra through our weight. Although they aren't usually on the cheeks, some will have them on their chin and others, such as my wife, have them as eye shadow. The reason I'm telling you this is because nobody in my clan knows any Hyuuga style techniques, and we can't teach you Akimichi style techniques unless you have the same marks...Which means you will be gaining weight from the increased appetite and reduced metabolism."

He sees the shock on their faces, before blustering, "Not a whole lot, I swear! We may be big boned but we Akimichi are still fairly healthy!"

Hinata bows, "I would be honored to be your daughter, Mr. Akimichi, but can I wait to get the seals? Just for a little bit?"

Choza nods his head, "Of course."

Hanabi snickers, "Well. Guess you'll be a literal big sister if you do this."

Hinata blushes at this, but Hiroshi defends, "Well, no matter what, she'll always be a little dove. Just like how you'll always be a little spidermonkey."

Hiroshi gets up to leave, and states, "I'll let the clan know where you'll be staying Hinata. They might be foolish, but they'll still want to know where you are. I wish you my luck, Hinata Akimichi."
