Her Ninja Way

Hinata
Since I was small, my father and clan have looked down on me.
"Try harder Hinata!"
"Such behavior is not befitting for an heiress."
"You are a disgrace!"
Disgrace. Even the members of my family that never speak to me, they watch me with accusing eyes. Why am I not stronger? Faster? Better? Why is my sister, younger by five years, a better shinobi than I will ever seem to be? Why can't I GROW?
I want someone to see me for who I am, instead of what I should be. Only HE seems to understand. Naruto. He is despised by the village, but he never gives up. When I am at my lowest, just thinking of him helps me get back up and keep going. When I fought Neji at the Chunin exam, he encouraged me. So I didn't back down. And even though I lost, I know he holds nothing against me.
One day, when I have become as strong as I can, when I have exhausted my true abilities, I will gather my courage and ask Naruto if he will not help me fix the broken ties between the Main and Branch Houses of Hyuga. I will become a good ninja and show the Hyuga Clan what I can do! I will show them Hyuga Hinata.
That is my ninja way.
