Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Okay, so this is the first fanfic I've done in a while, and it's the first one about Naruto I've done. Set in the future, okay? It's past the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara is stopped, yada yada yada, but after Sasuke and Naruto's final fight, Sasuke left with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and thought his friend had been killed. NaruHina.
Flame if you want, just say something and enjoy!

"Byakugan." I heard my brother speak.
"How many birds are in the trees?" I asked him.
"One…two…three…four." I threw a rock. Seven birds were startled into flight. Ken looked up, his large milky white eyes staring at the sky. "Seven birds."
"You're young." I told him reassuringly. "You'll get it." He looked at me with hope.
"You really think so, nee-san?" He asked, his second fingers pressing together, a nervous habit our mother had. I put my hand on his head. His hair was blonde, like our father's. I looked into his eyes and said, "I know you will."
Ken looked happy that I had confidence in him. "Thank you, nee-san."
"Now go home." I told him. "Do your homework."
The little boy looked upset. "Can't you help me with it?" He whined.
I looked down disapprovingly. "I have to practice, Ken. But I'll be home for dinner. Tomorrow I'll teach you shuriken throwing, okay?"
Ken smiled at the prospect. I handed him my forehead protector to take home. He slipped it in his pocket, and he said, "Okay!" and left.
Which left me in the clearing alone. I backed up against a tree.
My name is Hikari. I am thirteen years old. I am a Chunin from Konohagakure. My uniform is the standard chain mail shirt over a tank top, a skirt and leggings that reached down to mid-calf. None of the newly-updated flak jackets fit me. My brother Ken is nine years old. He was born with the Byakugan. I was not. You could say I was jealous of him. Yes, I was. I was jealous that all our family on that side gives him attention.
My mother is Hyuuga Hinata, and basically just goes along with what they say. The only person she can really stand up to is my father, Uzumaki Naruto. And she's the only person he'll back down to.
And while my mother raised my brother, I was left to be raised by my father.
Who, of course, is the freakin' Hokage.
You could say my parents never really raised me. I just kind of did whatever the hell I wanted to because my father wouldn't punish me.
Until that one time.
You could say after that I wasn't jealous of my brother anymore.
But now people avoid me like the plague.
After that, I stopped pulling the pranks on the village. I became a good student. I graduated from the Academy top of my class. First one to become a Chunin. First one to be going for Jounin the next time the Jounin exams comes around. So I decided to do a bit of shuriken practice, because on the last mission I noticed it had been getting a little rusty. I also decided I would practice a bit of water walking, since my ninjutsu wasn't the best (thanks, Dad).
I walked a little bit further into the woods until I could find a good tree to practice on. I'm very short, but I'm strong, and a lot of trees had been destroyed by the marks of kunai from me and a lot of other ninja…including some splintered trees, thanks to my Aunt Sakura. I walked past a thick patch of trees, where there was no sunlight to speak of. I didn't like it. My name, Hikari, light, is a perfect name for me- I couldn't do anything without the sun. So I walked a bit further into the woods, until I found a small, secluded clearing just inside the border of Konoha. It was unscathed and unruly, quiet, and awesome. The stream babbled by happily. Perfect.
Ever since that day, my ninjutsu had been better I had become more focused. So I stood by the creek, flipped my red hair back from my face, focused my chakra into my feet, and walked on the water. Because of the rocks, it was a bit uneven, but I managed okay. I walked up and down, concentrating firmly, until I was able to do other things on the water. I practiced my shuriken training on the water. Wind techniques. Kunais. My special moves. The whole nine yards.
"That was awesome." Said a voice. I spun around, and fell into the water. I cursed. Behind me was a kid I had never seen before.
