it was a beautiful day in the hyuga clan every seemed to be in a good mood. hinata had just got back from her mission and was very happy. suddenly a little boy jumped off from one of the buildings screaming at the top of his lungs. she quickly stepped out of the and grabbed the boy by his collar.

"naoki! what are you doing!" hinata exclaimed

"i was practicing being a ninja." he answered.

"well first you have to know one thing, you can't be noisy or else your opponent will here you."

"oh."

"lady hinata." a man yelled from a distance.

"neji, tenten, over here."

"we heard you were back in the village." tenten said. "how was your mission?"

"it was a success."

"naoki over here couldn't wait for you to get home." neji said

"no i did not daddy." the annoyed boy exclaimed

a stern man come up behind them.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this family reunion, but neji its time for me to take naoki under my wing." hisashi said.

neji looked down at his son and for a second looked like he was gonna run away with him, but handed him over to the stern man and walked away. hinata looked at them and felt their sadness and quickly ran after her father. she met up with him in the main hall.

"father please don't put the curse mark on him!" she begged

"i have no choice in the matter. its tradition."

"just forget it please, don't make naoki suffer!"

hisashi got to him and he slapped his daughter for being so ignorant. she fell against the wall.

"next time you something so stupid, i'll something worse." he yelled

the scenery changed around hinata to a dark night with rain and lightning. she was kneeling right beside a injure man and was holding her hand over a wound, but it didn't work, the blood started to escape through the spaces in her hands. she frantically looked for her medical cloth to rap over the wound.

"hold on neji. medical ninjas will be here soon." she said even though she was thinking where are they.

"its to late, i've already lost too much blood." he said.

"don't say that, please, you must live, who...who will teach naoki to become to be a ninja!" she said trying to back the tears.

"you must lady hinata. teach my son everything you know."

"i can't. I'm not strong enough."

"your stronger than anyone i know."

"i'll do it." she said no longer holding back the tears.

"hinata, thank-you."

with that neji closed his eyes. hinata's injury finally got to her and she fell down right beside him coughing in pain.

suddenly hinata woke up in a cold sweat.

"ah it was just a dream." she said

she walked up to her got dressed and put her green ninja vest on and walked downstairs. she smelled some good food and found tenten in the kitchen cooking.

"good morning." tenten exclaimed

"morning, what all this, I thought we have breakfast today and celebrate naoki's success. and you were screaming again in your sleep."

"i was sorry, so how is your son, is he up and already out?" hinata asked.

"yep, he was so excited this morning, he was waiting for the sun to rise. you must be excited you get your own team too."

"yeah, that reminds me, i have to get going as well. thanks for breakfast tenten."

"good luck out there."
