Angel of Death
Chapter 1
The moon was full in the knight sky illuminating the vast dessert. Off in the distance a village can be seen on the horizon. The village hidden in the wind. Or as most people know as Suna. A dark figure can be seen walking through the dessert towards Suna. The figure slowly makes way towards the gate. As the person approaches the gates the guards come to attention ready for anything. They quickly observe the person as it gets closer. The person is a young woman looking to be around fifteen. She wears a long black cloak that goes down to her ankles. She wears traditional blue ninja sandals. Around her neck is a Konoho head band with a large scratch through the leaf symbol. She has bluish black hair that goes down to her mid back. Her eyes are the most notable feature. Her eyes have no pupils and are lavender colored identifying her as a Hyuga.
As she approaches she pulls some papers from her pockets and hands them over to the guards. One guard grabs the papers and looks them over." So you're here hunting for some criminals." The young Hyuga girl just nods. "And your employer is Konoho. That's strange considering that you're a missing nin from there"
The young Hyuga girl grits her teeth at the mentioning of her old home. "The group I work for gives me my orders. The people who hire us are not given information on who is sent out on these missions. " The voice of the girl sounds really gentle and quiet making her seem weak but people would be wise not to judge on such things."
The guard gives her a look saying he doesn't think much of her but she stays calm and doesn't react to it. "Well your papers seem to be in order. Are you sure these criminals are here. We haven't had any reports of suspicious people around here." The young Hyuga just nods her head again in agreement. The guard hands the papers back to her and signals for the gate to be open. "Well what ever. Go ahead."
The young Hyuga girl slowly walks in. She takes a look around and takes in the site noting the bland scenery and architecture. After a little bit she finds a booth and decides stop to and get something to eat. She orders up some dumplings from the old man taking orders. As she waits her mind starts to wander on old memories. "Konoho. Has it really been almost three years since I left that place. Hmm. I wonder why they never sent anyone after me."
The young ladies mind ponders over that question for a minute before she comes to a conclusion. "Of course they wouldn't. Why would they send some one after the poor, weak Hinata. Not even my friends came to bring me back. Hell they didn't even think about it for a second when they ran after that bastard Uchiha. Well I guess that means they were not really my friends. Nobody has ever cared about me. Not even the man I loved the most. Naruto I swear you will burn with the rest of Konoho one of these days. But not now unfortunately. One of these days though I will come for you and everyone else who betrayed me. Then you will see how powerful I have become."
Three years ago………
Hinatas POV
Hinata Hyuga runs down the streets of Konoho heading towards the gates as fast as she can. She had just heard the news that her long time crush was about to leave the village for three years. When she heard the news she almost started crying. "Oh my god. What should I do. Three years. I have to tell him how I feel now or I may never have another chance." At that point she burst out of her home and headed off with new found courage.
As Hinata got closer her confidence began to waver. She slowed down her pace and decided to go around and get a good look first. She was starting to get really nervous and her checks started flushing read at the thought of what she was about to do. "Oooohhh. I don't know . Maybe I shouldn't. What if he rejects me. What am I thinking. Of course he'll reject me. He is in love with Sakura. Maybe he would notice me if I actually told him how I feel though. Ooohhh I don't know what to do."
Hinata eventually finds herself hiding behind the corner of a building looking towards the entrance. She could see Naruto standing there talking to Sakura. Near by was his old sensei Kakashi and his new one Jiraya. They all stood there for a little while talking Eventually Kakashi disappeared in a poof. Jiraya started walking out the gate yelling back at the blonde haired boy to hurry up. Naruto was constantly looking around like he was looking for some one.
Naruto and Sakura talked for a few more minutes and then it happened. The worst thing Hinata thought could possibly happen. Sakura leaned forward and gave Naruto a quick kiss right on his lips. At that moment Hinata immediately turned around and started running. Tears streaming down her face. No destination in mind. Just any were but there.
Naruto's POV
Naruto was standing at the gates ready to leave for his training with Jiraya. Mostly all of his friends had already been there to bid him farewell. Everybody except Hinata. That was starting to bug him because he really wanted to see her before he left.
Unknown to everyone else Naruto had started to gain strong feelings for the young Hyuga heiress. It all started at the Chunin exams. She showed a lot of courage against Neji and he really admired that. Then there was the time before the Chunin exam finals when she single handedly brought him out of his little depression. It was then that he started to realize how great a person she was. Then when they went to search for that bug that could hunt down Sasuke she showed him that she had the potential to be a really powerful shinobi. That made him respect her even more.
After looking around a bit more he turned his attention back to Sakura. Sakura looked like she was getting annoyed since she could tell he wasn't paying attention to her anymore. "Naruto. Is something wrong. You looked zoned out."
Naruto waved his hands nervously afraid she might hit him for ignoring her. "Oh nothing Sakura. I was just thinking about my training. I guess I'm a little nervous." Naruto gave her one of his foxy grins while he scratched the back of his head in his traditional Naruto pose.
Sakura gave him another annoyed look saying she didn't buy it but shrugged it off. "Well it's probably time for you to go. Jiraya is hollering at you. But before you go I do have a present for you." Sakura put an a bright smile then started to lean in towards Naruto. Just inches from his lips he could tell what she was planning. Sakura plants small kiss right on his lips. He then hastily backs away. "Sakura what the hell."
Sakura looked at him with a confused expression. "What do you mean. You have been begging for a date for as long as I can remember. I figured since you have always been there for me I could at least give you something you have always wanted. Although I'm still not going to date you I thought it would be nice." Sakura's expression went from confused to pissed looking.
Naruto ducked his head down knowing he would have to explain. He really didn't want to. He wanted Hinata to be the first person he told about how he felt about her. "Sakura what I'm about to tell you I want you promise me that you won't tell anyone."
Sakura looked at him confused again. "Ok I promise now tell me whets wrong with you."
Naruto picked his head up to look at her. "I'm was kind of saving my first real kiss for some one else."
This news piqued Sakura's interest. She hadn't realized that Naruto had moved on. "So who is it. Do I know her."
"Yeah you know her. It's Hinata. I like Hinata now"
Sakura smiled brightly realizing that she didn't have to worry about Naruto chasing after her any more. Then it clicked. "Oh so that's why you were looking around earlier all zoned out. You were looking for Hinata. I take it you haven't told her yet?" Naruto just held his head back down with a gloomy expression on his face. "Why not? You should tell her."
Naruto looked back at her with his gloomy expression. "I can't"
Sakura was looking at him confused again. When he was after her he never held back like this. This was so un Naruto like. "Well why can't you"
"Well first of all I guess I'm just really nervous. After you turned me down so many times I guess I don't want to get rejected again. Also, I really don't think she likes me like that. I mean come on. She is the heir to a rich and famous clan. Why would she want anything to do with trash like me."
Sakura was in disbelief. Could he really be that dense. Just about everyone that new them knows that Hinata has had a crush on the boy for as long as anyone could remember. "Well if he is that dense I'm not going to tell him but, maybe I can encourage him." "Naruto what's wrong with you. What happened to that never give up attitude. You will never know for sure how she feels until you ask her. Next time you see her tell her how you feel. She at least deserves to know no matter how she feels."
At this little speech Naruto brightened up a bit. "Thanks Sakura I needed that. I'll tell her next time I see her."
At that moment Jiraya smashes his fist into Naruto's head causing Naruto to crashed to the ground. He then grabbed him by his arm and started to drag him out of the gate. "Come on you idiot you have wasted enough of my time." Naruto allows himself to be dragged away while he tries to rub the sore knot from his head.
Sakura stands at the entrance waving her last goodbyes to one of her best friends. "Good luck Naruto and don't worry your secret is safe with me."
Hinata ran as far as her legs could carry her, tears steadily flowing down her cheeks. She eventually fell face first no longer able to keep her balance and hit the ground hard. She clutched her nose that she is pretty sure she broke due to the blood running from it. "I was to late. I was to late. I should have told him sooner. Maybe things would have been different. What am I thinking. Even if I told him things wouldn't have changed. Naruto doesn't care about me. No one cares about me. I'm worthless"
Hinata slowly pulls her self up and scoots over to a near bye tree. She held her nose tight trying to stop the bleeding. She then started hitting the back of her head up against the tree. Slowly and gently at first. Then harder and harder until she could feel blood running from the back of her head. At this she stopped and just resumed crying with her face in her hands until she fell asleep from fatigue.
About a month had passed since that day. Hinata had continued to go into downward spiral since then. She never seemed to be able to stay focused. She severely slacked off on her training and her mission performance has been hideous. Today was another bad day for her. Her team had just got back from a mission. They had been successful but not because of her. Actually they had almost failed because of her. They got jumped bye about a dozen sound ninja. She got hit hard early on and had passed out for the rest of the fight. Her team had almost gotten killed trying to protect her.
Hinata was just tired and wanted to go to her room and cry herself to sleep. Unfortunately that was not to be as she heard her father cry out. "Hinata. Come here immediately." Hinata froze for a second thinking of what her father wanted to say. There relationship was pretty bad. He has looked down on her since the day her mother died almost like he was blaming her for her death.
Hinata slowly made her way into her way into her fathers meeting room, Bowed respectfully and then knelt down in front of him. "Hinata do you know why I have summoned you." Hiashi spoke in a cold tone. Hinata just shook her head know. Hiashi looked on her with contempt. "I have been keeping track of your performances lately and am quiet disappointed in you. You have continued to bring shame to the family. Do you have anything to say for yourself."
Hinata didn't say a word. She just continued to stare at him blankly. "Well if you have nothing to say then I guess it is time for your punishment." Hinata cringed a little as Hiashi called for a branch member to enter. She was visibly shaken by what she saw the man carrying. A small black whip. Hinata started to cry out to her father. "N-n-no f-f-ather. P-p-please don't." But her cries fell on deaf ears.
"Listen to yourself. Your pathetic begging for mercy like that. Show some pride for once you worthless trash. You disgust me. Well time for your punishment. First let me explain some things first before we start. For this whole week you are forbidden to leave the manor and don't worry about missions. I have discussed this with Lady Tsunade already."
Hinata was startled by this. Lady Tsunade knows about this and is just going to let it happen. "Oh my god. Even Tsunade hates me. No one gives a damn about me."
"Also for the rest of this week you will be summoned here at twelve noon each day to receive fifteen more lashings." Hiashi visibly smirked with glee when he sees Hinatas horrified face. "And last but not least. At the end of this month you are to be married to a man of my choice. Maybe there family can find some use for you. Although I can imagine that all you will be good for is a whore. Hell you probably can't even fuck right."
One more time Hinata tries to appeal to her father but once again it falls on deaf ears as he spits in her face. "You are no daughter of mine. You groveling bitch. Now sit there and take your punishment." Hiashi takes the whip from the branch member and walks behind Hinata and with an emotionless glare he proceeds to whip his eldest daughter. Hinata cries out in pain with each lashing. Fortunately for her she passes out from the pain at number eight. Our so she thought. When Hiashi realized she passed out he waited until she would wake and before he started up again. "You will not cheat your way out of this. You will feel every lashing." When he finally finishes Hiashi orders the branch member the haul her to her room. The man takes her there but doesn't even bother to put her on her bed but leaves her laying in the floor bleeding all over the place.
As the week goes on Hinatas spirit continues to break with her body. Bye the fourth day she stopped crying at all and didn't even flinch as the whip was brought down across her back. Her face showed no emotion. Not fear, pain, or even sadness. Her face had gone pale and her eyes looked almost lifeless. All that was going through her head was pain and rejection.
"It's been five days. No one has even bothered to come bye to even check on me. Kiba, Shino, Kurenai, Neji, Not even Hanabi. I guess everyone really does hate me. Maybe if everyone thinks I am that bad I should just lay here and die." Unknown to Hinata people had been bye to see her but were promptly turned back at the gates. The rest of team eight had heard from Tsunade that she was being punished by her father and were all worried. Nobody knew not even Tsunade what kind of punishment she was going through. Also, Neji and Hanabi were sent else were this week bye Hiashi so they wouldn't be around to provide support. They had no clue what was going on to Hinata.
The week was finally over and Hinata had been informed that her team had a mission that day. Her team would meet her at the gate. Hinata slowly prepared herself. She got dressed in her normal ninja gear. She didn't even bother to treat or wrap her wounds from her lashings. She didn't care. She figured that if they got infected and it killed her she could finally be in peace. Matter of fact she was for the first time in over a month she was happy. If she went on this mission in her shape she would certainly die. She was actually looking forward to it.
At the front gates the rest of team eight were waiting on there last member to arrive. Shino was just standing there with his arms crossed looking off into the distance. Kurenai was sitting on a bench with her eyes closed. Kiba on the other hand was getting highly impatient. "Aaaagghhh. Come on Hinata. What's taking so long." Kiba yelled in frustration.
Kurenai opened up her eyes to look at the loud genin. "Kiba pipe down. I'm sure she has a good reason."
"Kurenai sensei. It's been over an hour. Don't you think maybe we should go check on her."
Kurenai lifted an eyebrow to this. "I would like to go check on her but you know as well as I do that the way Hiashi has been acting lately we would be turned back at the gate."
Kiba growled in frustration. "I don't care what that bastard says. It's not like Hinata to be late at all much less this late. Some things wrong I know it."
To both Kurenai and Kiba's surprise before either of them can move at all Shino charges past Kiba heading down the road. They both look to the direction he is heading and are stunned bye what they see. The girl they see is not the Hinata they know. Instead there is a girl that looks as pale as a ghost. Almost no spirit or life left in her eyes. Her hair looks wild and they swear they can see small blotches of red mixed in. She walks with all hunched over and looks like she's fighting to stay up with each step. Shino runs up to her and placed is hand on her shoulder ready to give her assistance but his hand gets slapped away bye Hinata. "Don't touch me." is her reply. Shino takes a step back. He has known Hinata for a while and has never in any circumstance heard her talk so coldly. He knew then something was defiantly wrong.
Kiba and Kurenai ran up to Hinata with the utmost concern on there faces but that's not what Hinata thought. "Look at there faces. Pity, disgust. That's all they show for after this week. I really am all alone. Nobody gives a damn about me."
Kurenai runs up to her and stops. "Hinata what's wrong you don't look so good."
Hinata continues to push forward past her team. "I'm fine just a little under the weather." Her voices comes out in the same cold tone as before.
Kurenai follows behind her student. "You don't look fine. Maybe we should talk to Tsunade and have you stay home from this one." Hinata doesn't even reply she just continues to walk forward.
Kiba catches up and walks beside her taking a few sniffs of the air. "Hinata I really don't think you should go and what is that I smell. Is that….."
Kiba doesn't get to finish because she dose something that shocks them all. "I SAID I'M FINE. I'M GOING ON THIS MISSION WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OUR NOT. EVEN IF I HAVE TO DRAG MY ASS BEHIND YOU ALL LATER IF I HAVE TO SNEAK OUT. SO SHUT UP ." Hinata screams this into Kiba's face. All are stunned bye this. No one has ever heard Hinata scream at anyone before. After this no one else in the team bothered to question her. They decided they would just keep a close eye on her.
Their mission was simple. Cross the border into the sound country and gather information. Unfortunately traps and ambushes were to be expected in this country. And that is exactly what happened but earlier then expected. About ten miles from the border Hinata stumbled across a explosive seal and was sent flying sky high. The blast knocked her out cold but didn't kill her. She got even more lucky when Kiba caught her and kept her from hitting the ground. The rest of her team decided then that it would be best to set up camp for the knight and regroup.
After camp was set up Kurenai decided to take Hinata into the tent to check on her and treat any wounds. As she started to undress the girl she was not prepared for what she was about to find. Kurenai quickly bolted out the tent and expelled the contents of her stomach on the ground. Partially from the disgust at finding out what Hinatas punishment had been and partially from seeing the still bleeding and badly infected wounds across her back.
Shino and Kiba startled quickly ran over to there Sensei. Kiba waited for her to get control of herself then asked? "What's wrong Sensei. Is Hinata ok."
Kurenai hangs her head low for a minute or two more then wipes any vomit off her mouth before replying. "I think you two need to see this for yourselves." Kurenai stands back up and leads them into the tent.
The two are stunned and momentarily speechless at what they see. After a bit Kiba regains his wits and then his fury as he stars to explode. "I'LL KILL THEM. WHO EVER DID THIS TO HINATA IS GOING TO DIE."
Kurenai places a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. "I know how you feel Kiba. Hinata is like a daughter to me. Who ever did this is going to pay dearly but right now we need to help Hinata and be there for her. She is in a lot of pain right now both physically and emotionally. Hell with those wounds it is amazing she made it this far. It definitely shows how strong she has gotten."
About this time Hinata finally starts to stir. She groggily pulls herself up to a sitting position and looks around. Finally she realizes that she is topless and horridly puts her shirt on. Kurenai walks over and sits next to hear face full of compassion and concern." Hinata I need you to tell me who tore your back up like that."
Hinata continues to stare blankly into the distance. "I don't want to talk about it."
Kurenai wraps her arms around her shoulders. "Hinata you need to tell us who did this to you. How do you expect us to help you if you won't talk to us."
At that Hinata snapped. "Help. Help. What the fuck do you mean bye help. Where were any of you when I really needed help. Where were you when my father beat me with a whip for seven days straight. Where were you while I was bleeding all over my floor because my own family couldn't be bothered to put my unconscious ass in my bed and treat my wounds. Where were any of my so called friends when I needed them the most. Huh. Where the fuck were you." At this point Hinata couldn't control her self anymore and for the first time in days cried her eyes out.
In an attempt to console her Kurenai wrapped her arms around her. This made Hinata even more angry and she shrugged her sensei's arms off and bolted for the door. The remaining three just stared in stunned silence.
Hinata didn't make it far before dropped to a knee from the pain from her wounds. She was just barley in the wood line just outside the light of the fire. She continued to cry for a few more moments until a sound caught her attention. She raised up quickly and placed her hand in a familiar seal. "Byakugan." Her vision expanded just in time to see a kunai stab right into her chest. She fell back as her world went black.
Kurenai and the others had heard Hinata activate her blood line ability and rushed out to see what was going on. They were horrified of the site as about a dozen sound nin dropped into their camp.
Hinata starts to stir after a bit feeling an extreme pain in her chest. She starts to stand not even bothering to pull the kunai from her chest. She slowly scans the battle field as her vision starts to clear. She sees off to here left that Kiba and Akamaru are out cold and hurt pretty bad surrounded by a few dead nin. Off to right Shino lays face down unconscious. Also with a few dead scattered about. In front of her she sees a few more dead nin and Kurenai laying back against a tree out cold. The only other conscious person there hovering over her ready to make the killing blow. Out of instinct and anger Hinata silently activates her Byakugan and charges forward as quiet as can be.
Moments before the killing blow on Kurenai is made Hinata unleashes a powerful Juuken blow right between the mans shoulder blades rupturing his heart on impact. The man falls off to the side being pushed away by Hinata. Shortly after pain takes her over and she falls to her back. "This is it. I die tonight. I can finally be at peace. I just wish I could have gotten stronger and laughed in the faces of all those who shunned me. I wish Naruto could have seen me strong then he might not care about that bitch Sakura. She knew how I felt and she betrayed me."
Hinata thought about that for a moment more before it hit her. "Why do I care any more what Naruto thinks. That asshole always ignored me. He thought I was weak. I wish he was dead." That last part really caught her interest. "That's it. I can't die here. I have to get strong so I can prove to Naruto what he missed out on. Then I'll kill him. After him I'll kill my father. Then everyone will see that I am not worthless." At this Hinata slowly fights to get to her feet and drags off into the woods leaving her team and her old life behind.
Early the next morning two dark cloaked men walk to the figure of an unconscious woman laying in the forest. They roll her over and give a quick inspection. The first man looks pleased with there findings. "Well well. A leaf shinobi all bye her self."
The second dark figure looks over to the other just as pleased. "She could be beneficial for our plan. Lets get her some medical attention. We wouldn't want her to die just yet. After that we will take her to Lord Orochimaru." The first man scoops up the young Hyuga girl and both men rush off.
Almost three years later in Suna…..
The old man from the booth sets Hinatas meal in front of her and snaps her out of her trip down memory lane. She slowly starts to eat here meal. when she finishes she slowly sips on her drink while she continues to think. "Three years almost. I'm no longer the shy, pathetic, weak Hinata Hyuga that used to be. That girl died back at the gates of Konoho. The new me is much, much stronger and I will have my revenge. Naruto and Hiashi. You two will fell my pain. Never again will I live my life trying to impress some one else."
At this last thought the Hinata finishes her drink and heads out ready to take care off the business at hand.
