Summary: At school she was the shy, petite Hyuuga heiress. On her Kinect Xbox 360 she was Solice- the #1 player of the worldwide famous game, Ultimate Ninja Storm. Solice was two words: completely badass. She's Hinata's alter ego. How will the #2 and #3 players react when they find out neither of them is number one? Simple. Their mission is to find this Solice and take that chick down. But they seem to forget one thing... This is her turf. Welcome... to her world. NaruHinaSasu

Ultimate Ninja Storm

Prologue I

Being Hyuuga Hinata sucked. It sucked stinky, raw eggs. Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful for my life. I appreciate everything done for me and I never take anything for granted. Even though my family has like a bajillion dollars, I'm not any of the three s's. I'm not snooty, snobby or stuck-up. I'm not any of the three s's I'd like to be either. I'm not strong, stunning or self-confident. Instead, I'm the three s's that will always get you labeled as "the nice girl". I'm simple, shy and sweet.

Hinata lightly chewed on the end of her pencil as she re-checked her test paper. Her PEMDAS was accurate as usual, her functions were flawless, her variables were in the correct places, her calculations were undeniably correct thanks to Cal, her calculator buddy, and her writing was a neat combination of cursive and script. Ah, she could just see the large 100 circled in red already.

She glanced at her lavender-strapped watch and sighed. 11:30. There were still 30 minutes left to finish the 45 minute exam.

Lazily, she diverted her eyes to the open window on her left. The sky was bright and blue, heavily accented by puffs of white clouds. The treetop of the 15 foot high cherry plum tree could be seen. Birds and small animals hopped about the tree from branch to branch, singing and chattering. She faintly smiled at the picturesque scene.

Gazing out the windows became a habit for her ever since she arrived at Konoha High School for Elites. The activity was not only calming, but also the perfect distraction, especially during exams. She always finished early. Not because she just scribbled numbers and letters onto a page, but because she was smart. She didn't spend countless hours studying to gain nothing in return. Thanks to her over-studying, she found Calculus to be as easy as pi - not dessert pie but pi as in 3.14159265.

So why didn't she simply walk up to the teacher's desk and hand in her golden paper? She was shy… and a paranoid worrywart.

Imagine the amount of eyes that would be on her if she got up! Everyone would think, "Ugh! She's such a showoff!" and "She should just keep her rich ass in her seat". She could never let herself anger people so much that they would start saying crude things about her!

That wasn't even the worst part. She could see it perfectly. She'd rise from her seat and quietly walk down the steps. She'd move slowly and carefully as to not trip and make a fool of herself; but then she'd catch his sapphire blue eyes and trip clumsily down the steps, therefore, having made a fool of herself. The class would then erupt in laughter, Miss Yuhi would empathize with her, bend down to place her fallen test papers on her desk, and threaten the class with detention and only then would the class shut up. Hinata would be left on the floor, red in the face, and too embarrassed to get up. Then she would pass out from her building anxiety and the class would erupt again.

She was absolutely not going to go through that.

Ok, maybe the class wouldn'tbe that mean and maybe she was just being a paranoid worrywart, but that wasn't going to change her mind. She was Hinata Hyuuga- shy, reclusive and nice.

The word "nice" was poison to her poor ears. She abhorred that word with her spirit, soul and body. If she could burn it, she would set it ablaze a billion times. It was such a disgusting adjective!

"Nice" is used to describe someone you don't really give a fuck about or someone you don't know how to describe. "Nice" was taboo to her ears. She wouldn't beat the shit out of you if youcalled her "nice". What bothered her was that she would probably smile, blush a little and hide her face while she imagined beating the shit out of you.

Her mind was the only place where she controlled her life. In her mind she was an extrovert, coordinated and the apple of everyone's eyes. In real life she was the exact opposite; she was an introvert, her life was a mess and on the attention list, she was but a mere teetering speck of dust. She was easily forgotten and ignored. It was only when called upon in class or when being asked a question that people suddenly remembered that she existed but then that attention would slowly fade away.

She did want attention but she could never handle it properly. She always got flustered and stuttered horrendously. She made herself look like a complete buffoon whenever she received attention. That's why her crush thought she was a complete weirdo.

Her cheeks tinted a rosy pink when she thought about her crush. He was perfect. He had bright sunny hair and sun kissed skin. His eyes- oh his eyes- were such a deep sapphire blue! She could get lost in those delicate orbs forever and ever and never complain. On both sides of his cheeks were three whisker-like scars. How he got them was a mystery to her but she thought they made him all the more endearing. Ah, he had the beauty of a Greek god! But, that wasn't why she was attracted to him. If she was drawn to looks only she'd probably be Uchiha Sasuke's fangirl too. She was attracted to her crush's personality.

He was loud, boisterous, sincere, compassionate, sympathetic, outgoing and so much more. He was perfection. Luckily, she didn't have much competition since none of the girls in their age group were his fangirls. They were Sasuke's instead.

She'd admit it, Sasuke was good looking. His skin was pale, a sharp contrast to his raven hair which had an odd duck-butt end shape to it. Jaw-length bangs framed his face. His eyes were a very deep black, like a never ending cold abyss. She definitely wouldn't want to get lost in those. And he never grinned like Naruto would. Instead, he normally kept a frown plastered on his face and rarely, a smirk. The 'Uchiha smirk' was what his fangirls lived for. Sasuke was an introvert. He wasn't shy and blush-proned like she was. He kept to himself but he was still bold and held an air of certainty around him.

But sooner or later, she assumed that his fangirls would grow tired of admiring and lusting after him. They'd want to go after someone they could actually have a chance with and that would be the second best thing, Uzumaki Naruto. That time was definitely going to come.

She could just try to win Naruto's favor now but no! Her stupid shyness always got the best of her when she tried doing anything about her dumb crush. When the grave time came, Haruno Sakura would jump into Naruto's arms and he would gladly welcome her. Why? Because he liked her. Sakura was head over heels for Sasuke. When she realized her better choice, she'd jump to Naruto.

Hinata sighed. She couldn't compete with Sakura. Sakura was out of her league. Sakura was one of the school princesses. She was kind, sweet, smart, extremely stunning, confident and strong mentally and physically. She was what almost every guy wanted; none of them could have her because she only had eyes for Uchiha Sasuke and he was completely dormant to her feelings.

If she was to win Naruto, she'd have to act now. But she was Hinata and Hinata was the shy weird girl to him. But at least he said he liked people like her! She was on cloud nine for several years after he had told her that but she knew getting Naruto could never happen if she remained shy.

Like I said, I don't hate my life. I guess I'm just not a fan of my personality. I just want to be noticed and not end up in a blushing coma. Is that too much to ask? I just want to be able to express my inner self. Maybe people would notice me then.

Lunch was the usual. Hinata sat courteously on the grass with her legs neatly tucked under her bottom, holding a large silver box in her lap. Her friends sat around her in a circle under the shade of the large cherry plum tree, watching the box with stars in their eyes.

"Aw, Hinata!" Kiba whined. "Open the box! Open the box! Open the box! Open the box!" he chanted.

Hinata giggled and blushed. "I'm opening it! I'm opening it!"

She cradled the silver lock on the box with her fingers and shot a knowing glance at her gleaming spectators. As routine, they all squeezed their eyes shut while Hinata took out her key. Blushing, she took the key out of her bra- a girl's safest placed to hide things- and unlocked it. She placed it back into her safe haven and whispered, "You can o-open your eyes now."

Their eyes eagerly flew open to watch the unlocked bag hungrily. Hinata slowly opened the box, having fun teasing her friends.

As soon as the bag opened, a delicious aroma graced the air.

3, 2, 1… Hinata grabbed the box away just in time before her friends pounced on the empty area, hitting each other in the head.

Hinata laughed as they pulled back, rubbing their heads and blushing in embarrassment. "I a-always tell you guys not to do that or you'll ruin-," she took out a steamy cinnamon bun, glistening in its juicy glory, "the cinnamon buns." Hinata placed the bun in Kiba's watery mouth and he squealed in delight.

Hinata handed one out to each of the remaining 6 people. Tenten, Choji and Lee all made similar squeals of delight as they sank their teeth into the juicy bun. Shino, Neji and Shikamaru nodded in thanks as they bit into theirs.

"Ah! These taste so good, Hina!" Tenten squealed, rolling her head about Neji's lap. Her brown eyes found Hinata's lavender ones. "How do you make these?" she asked with her mouth full of cinnamon bun.

Hinata smiled and blushed, "I-It's my mother's s-secret."

"I have to ask her when I go over there today. I need the recipe!"

"Don't waste your time," Neji said. "My mother may be a sweet lady but she'll attack you if you try to get her recipe. Only Hyuuga girls get the recipe," he grumbled.

Hinata laughed nervously as she remembered the time her mother beat the shit out of her brother when he tried to learn her recipe. "I-it's true."

Tenten's face paled. "I guess having these every Friday isn't that bad then…"

The group nodded in agreement.

"YOSH! My youth has been replenished!" Lee yelled as soon as he devoured his cinnamon bun. He pumped his fist in the air. "May I have another youthful bundl-!" Tenten's fist landed on Lee's head- hard.

"Stop yelling!"

Hinata smiled warily as Lee cooed his hurt head. She handed him another cinnamon bun and instantly he forgot all about his injury and quietly yelled, "Yosh! My youthful cinnamon bun! Thank you Hinata!"

Tenten sighed.

Hinata gave Choji another cinnamon bun when she caught him trying to steal Shikamaru's and Neji's.

Hinata smiled. Being with her friends always made her feel happy. She was still shy enough to stutter here and there around them but it was better than passing out. They truly cared for her well-being.

She watched her friends with amusement. Choji was still trying to cajole Shikamaru into giving him his cinnamon bun despite the Akimichi already having one in his hand; Neji and Tenten were having a quiet debate and by Neji's face she could tell that Tenten was winning; Lee and Kiba were talking about her cinnamon buns and Shino was beside her, eying her through his dark spectacles.

"Y-Yes Shino?"

"Will you not have a cinnamon bun?" he asked quietly.

"A-Ah, sure!" She took out one of her own buns and nibbled on it happily. They did taste good.

"Hey, have you guys heard of this new game?" Kiba asked as he dug around for another cinnamon bun.

Everyone stopped their previous actions to focus on Kiba.

The dog-loving brunet grinned. "It's called Ultimate Ninja Storm! The promo for it just came out this morning! They say that the game's so good, it'll be successful enough to be sold worldwide."

"What's it about?" Lee asked curiously.

"It's about being a ninja. They have all this cool stuff called kunais and jutsus and kekke genkais. It's totally awesome! And you actually play since it's for the Kinect! You can fight off bad guys and protect your village or you can have allegiance to yourself and whatnot!"

"That seems cool," Tenten murmured. "Too bad it's not out yet."

"Yeah," Kiba solemnly agreed. "But they are having this contest thing. The game isn't fully developed so they're having people test it out! You can sign up at the video game store and they might pick you!"

"No way!" Tenten yelled excitedly, instantly sitting upright. "We're going to sign up then, right guys?"

Everyone nodded except Hinata. "I have to get home early today. My dad said he had something for me this morning."

"Ah, ok." Tenten said, a little sad.

Kiba then continued to blabber about the new game.

I needed a way to express myself, a way to be the girl I wanted to be…. I found that way when I entered the world of video gaming.

Hinata raised an eyebrow at her father. "You want me to play a video game?"

Hiashi smiled at his daughter when he brought out a blank cd. "This is just the prototype for it. The Hyuuga, Uchiha and Namikaze Corps all came together to develop this game. It's the first time we've ever worked together on a project and we know it's going to be a huge hit. To test it out, we're having our kids play it and some other teens to see how you respond to it."

Hinata blushed at the thought of Naruto and Sasuke playing this game too. "W-What's the game called?"

"Ultimate Ninja Storm."
