Chapter 1: Hanabi and Naruto.
A girl of nine years of age sat awake on her bed, it was late at night as she stared into the starry expanse outside of her window, each star twinkling in the night sky as she tried to count them. It was something she did to try to get to sleep, something to help her eyes move and her mind relax, much like other people count imaginary sheep, it was pointless because you could never number the stars nor continue where you left off another night.
She had earlier that day got news that tomorrow she was to get her first chance at the Genin exams, something she looked forward.
Hanabi gazed at the stars wondering silently to herself, "Will I be good enough? Will my training be enough for this?" it was a Habit of hers to think in this manner. She had trained every day for as long as she was able to remember. She was never able to make friends, she was alone in that aspect of her life because she never knew what was so fun about toys and all she was ever allowed to do was train so she never had any fun or really knew what it was. She had dedicated every moment of her waking life to honing her skills, be it her Byakugan, her Jyuukin skill or her other expected education. She didn't relate that well with kids her own age, and that didn't matter much either because her father didn't let her associate with people of "Lower Standings" so she had learned contentment in the dance of Combat and Practice.
Hanabi watched the stars go by overhead out her window, minutes turning to hours her just watching them trying to get to sleep; she found she was unable to get to sleep. She sat upright standing from her sleeping mat grabbing her Black Training Gi.
Hanabi stepped outside the door to the Inner Manor silently walking across the grass, she passed her favorite training ground before reaching the front gate, she watched the gate silently pondering to herself what the Genin Exams would hold, or whom her sensei would be. Her sister was already a Chuunin, it had been about a year sense they had last fought each other in front of her father, Hanabi had won but it had been the hardest fight she was able to remember, the spinning the blocking and turning, the dangerous line between defeat, well not really dangerous sense they weren't allowed to press the chakra into there Jyuukin attacks. But it had been so close and when it was over she had barely managed to place her hand along the left ribs of her sister denoting a strike to her heart. What had happened after that she hadn't forgot, her fathers harsh look at them telling them to train more, her sister placing on her face that sickening FAKE smile and bowing, Training had been fun before her father started overseeing these practice rounds, they used to be fun before they where deluded. Hanabi Punched the wall growling under her breath, she had enough skill to fight her sister yet her father treated her like she was still a weakling and her sister like trash.
That had changed over the past year; her father had started treating her sister Hinata better and all. But whenever the time came for a fight Hanabi had decided to find some way to slip out of it be it faking ill or acting like she had some advanced training to do that could not wait, she had refused to fight Hinata, not because she was afraid of loosing, the outcome didn't really matter to her, but she was afraid of things going back down hill.
Hanabi looked emotionlessly at the gate, "I wonder… when I started thinking about it so much? When it even mattered, its time I moved onwards also." She thought to herself putting her hand to the gate pushing it a little opening and stepping out, if anyone but a Hyuuga tried to use the gate an alarm would sound in the manor, she still didn't know entirely how it worked but she knew it would remain silent to her departure. She closed the gate as she stepped out.
The wind blew in Konoha it was a fresh breeze from the north that had a slight chill in it, Hanabi looked around at the darkened areas around her taking in the street and the tree's around her, The Manor was surrounded by a small park, people who where Hyuuga lived inside the Manor walls and people who weren't lived a good distance away.
As Hanabi walked she slowly got into the Shopping district of Konoha, it was all closed up at night as she walked, she didn't know why she was wandering around so late at night.
As she walked in the dark she was looking down and not where she was going, She crashed into a person walking the other way, Her and the person both spun to face each other saying the same thing "WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!!!" both paused and looked at each other, Hanabi saw the person was a boy, he looked to be about 15 was ok in height and had Blonde hair and Bright blue eyes, and a Orange and black outfit that she thought looked Smashingly stylish, the boy looked at her "Hay who are you?" he asked suddenly Hanabi pausing looking him over seeing his forehead protector was from Konohagakure and was the metal was rather tarnished said that he was a shinobi proven to Konoha she looked over him more thinking to herself "Oh crap, what if he's a an advanced Ninja, what if he reports me being out past curfew, He asked who I am, hmm…" she thought The Blonde suddenly said "Hay who are you? Will you answer me?" Hanabi snapping out of her train of thought responding with a half total lie "I am Karasu." she said lying about her name looking at him "Karasu? What a strange name." he suddenly pointed at himself "Uzumaki Naruto, Future Hokage of Konoha!!!" Hanabi suddenly paused remembering something, this was the guy her sister fancied. "So Karasu what are you doing up so late?" he asked to which she replied flatly "Clearing my head for tomorrow." She said smiling.
Naruto looked at the girl Karasu thoughtfully for a moment she was young and the only things going on the next day where some Genin Exams and his Special Mission from the Tsunade-baba which he wondered about, he'd have to find out about it "So your taking the Genin exams, Oh I hated those." He suddenly said smiling at the strange girl whom was standing across from him, "You're going to need your energy, you should eat something."
Hanabi looked at Naruto and thought to herself "Hated those? Oh crap, Oh Crap…" When he said something about her needing energy and stating that she should eat something "Do you have any advice on what I should eat before the Exam, its going to start in about first thing in the Morning." To this Naruto smiled at her and said one word "Raman, you should Eat Ramen." She looked sideways at him a little bit, she had never heard of Ramen "What's ramen?" she asked, she honestly had lived on mostly Salads and other dishes like fish and other healthy foods and her education didn't include eating out.
Naruto Gasp in horror stepping away "ONLY THE BEST FOOD EVER!!!" he shouted in horror, never had he seen a worse tragedy then a Person who didn't even know what ramen was, he was almost shaking his mind trying to grasp what she had said, Never even heard of it, it was unthinkable, unbelievable. He looked at her again pondering suddenly a smile creeping upon his lips "This is perfect, She's never had Ramen and I get to introduce some one to the best Ramen in the world!!! It's perfect!!!" His face was brimming with Immense joy all but beaming "Your coming with me, I'm taking you to Ichiraku Ramen." He said suddenly also remembering that this night he always stayed open late, twice a year, he always stayed open at night and closed during the Genin Exams because business was to slow. He turned to lead her to the Ramen place post haste.
Hanabi only watched as his extreme reaction flew by then him turning to lead her, she smiled to herself but also remembering that her father disliked her talking to strangers and this one was defiantly strange but she had seen in his eyes and knew he was honest, he wouldn't hurt her, she followed him smiling, if this ramen was anything like what he said it was then she Hanabi was in for a wondrous dish.
Hanabi and Naruto traveled fast Towards the Ramen Shed, mainly do to Naruto skipping at a rather fast pace almost muttering under his breath "Ramen Ramen Ramen"
They arrived less then 20 minutes later at a Small ramen shed on the roughly Opposite end of Konoha, the place was small and not to far away from the Academy but she smiled at the sight it was no wonder she missed it having not gone this way ever sense she always went the other direction away from the Academy when she did leave her few classes, Most of her training save for Basic Genjutsu and Basic Ninjutsu, and Ninja History where handled by the Hyuuga and unlike them she didn't have the Female training that included Flower Arraigning cooking and such, with eyes like the Hyuuga they Had to either remain Unseen or in Combat and mostly didn't do infiltration.
She found herself seated next to Naruto on a stool when a Big man entered the Cooking area smiling "Oh hi Naruto, I see you have a Guest, I'm not really ready to cook as I was about to close and all…" Hanabi felt a little disappointed before she looked over at Naruto who was already describing her horrid predicament of never having ramen. The chef stood there shaking his hands trembling before darting to his tools "THIS WON'T DO!!!" he said, "Ramen on its way, Naruto make your Order, Girl make your order." He said his hands almost aching to cook his tiredness gone in a moment. "Naruto, Can you make the order please? I don't even know what types of ramen there are." With that Naruto told the Chef "Miso Shrimp Ramen for her and me." He nodded to Naruto and began his cooking, it was almost no time at all before the Savory smell of Shrimp and Miso filled the air, Hanabi was watching intently not sure about it just yet, she took herself a moment to ponder looking around, she smiled.
"Naruto, Sorry about what I said earlier." Naruto turned hearing her address him "Huh? What are you talking about?" he asked her, Hanabi shifted slightly focusing herself, she knew she would stutter if she didn't gather her thoughts before she spoke, Her and Hinata where rather shy when it came to talking, and while her sister would stutter Hanabi forced herself to gather what she was going to say and Say it without pause, "My name's not really Karasu, I'm Hanabi, Hyuuga Hanabi." Naruto paused for a moment before smiling "Hanabi…"
Naruto sat mulling her name over, Hyuuga Hanabi, "So she's related to Neji and Hinata in some way?" he thought to himself "Hanabi means fireworks, but I remembered an old man once saying that the Fireworks where based off of the words FlowerHana and BurningBi to make Hanabi, a Burning Flower." Naruto smiled at her "It's a really nice name." he said to her, he scratched his head wondering why he remembered that bit of his education when he normally didn't listen when people talked of that stuff, "Glad to hear your real name." he said to her, they remained silent for a few Moments before Naruto asked her, "What do you do as a Hyuuga?"
Hanabi looked at Naruto and considered, she did a whole lot more then most people would have thought, but then again there where a few words to bundle it all together, "I train, its all I really do, and I love doing it." She said, Naruto looked pondering over what she said "I love training as well, In fact when I was your age it was one of the few things I did." He said to her, it was true, he trained relentlessly tell he was worn out, but he never did any training well that involved studying.
The Ramen Chef pushed forward two bowls of Ramen to her and Naruto who both took there bowls, Naruto grabbed his Chopsticks separating them then dug in to his bowl of heaven, Hanabi took her chopsticks separating them, but that's when she started pondering, she took one small bite up putting it to her lips eating and tasting the bite ponderingly, Savoring the flavor, the Miso broth and the Shrimp blended well she thought lifting another bite to her lips eating it smiling, it tasted really good, the Noodles where perfect, the Broth was wonderful, the Shrimp was a Delicacy she smiled taking another bite then another speeding up her eating, "Can I have another bowl please?" she asked after her first was done, she looked at the Menu now gathering what Ramen was her eyes scanning the menu her Favorite things, "Mushroom beef ramen please." She said smiling at the thought of it, the man smiled and started to get to work on it.
Naruto was happy, he had introduced a person to the wonders of ramen and they had taken to it really well, in fact it sort of made his day, "Say Hanabi, you should get some rest after next bowl, The Genin Exams are not going to be easy tired." He said to her who whom smiled and nodded.
Hanabi whom was smiling thought to herself, "He really knows how to make people feel good, I hope that I can meet him again some time." She stood turning away from Naruto, "Thanks, you really helped my day out, friend." She said to him, everything Hinata had said about him to herself was right, He was kind and strong, yet determined and willful, yet at the same time a little dense, she smiled and got a thoughtful look as she left.
She arrived back at the Manor a little later, it hadn't changed much as far as alertness, of coarse the recent weeks of peace had made everyone a little lax, she entered the door to her home smiling she looked back outside at the sky and saw 3 shooting stars stream across the sky over the hill towards the ground a good 100 miles away at least.
Hanabi opened her Journal and started to write with her quill that she used, it was how she wrote, pens where available but the feeling of writing the way of her ancestors felt right to her.
Today was the same as yesterday, yet tonight I awoke earlier unable to sleep, I stepped out to get some air when I ran across Naruto(The same one Hinata is obsessed with.) and we spent some time together and She's right about him, he is Kind, Strong, Determined and Willful, yet not to bright, It inspired me, The Jutsu I was creating Should be like that, Defense packed with offence, if I can some how project my chakra at the same time an attack comes letting there force attract it, I could shield myself from damage, while not as good as the Kaiten it is more then enough to defend from light attacks.
Who knows with even more training I could possibly reinforce my non Jyuukin attacks to pack a little more.
Remember, the secret is training your body, mind and soul, if I can train my body and mind and soul, my energy is the reaction of that union, there's no reason it cant be trained as well.
Tomorrow comes soon so I need to sleep, I will test my theory on my opponents in the Genin exam.

Hanabi shut the book and looked out the window slowly closing her eyes falling into a deep slumber.
