"Hiashi, you should throw her into the branch family when she can't even win against her own sister." An elder saw the match between the siblings commented. "I can't do this, I know Hikari would never forgive me if I have done this to her and neither can I do this to my own daughter." Hiashi left to find Hinata to talk to her. "H-hinata?" Hiashi saw her own sitting under a tree meditating in the backyard but he was not sure what happened. "Otou-sama? I-I was resting a while, I am going back to train." Hiashi wanted to stop Hinata but he knew the talk had to wait while he observed more from Hinata. Hiashi went back and forth thinking about what he saw that Hinata had done, he knew that talking to her was the only choice and summon her. "Hinata just a while, what were you doing under the tree?" Hinata was afraid that her father would scold her for being lazy as she sat under the tree. "I-I was resting under a tree before continuing my training…"

"Did you feel anything?" Hinata recalled back moments ago but shook her head as she feels nothing. "Is that it? I want you to continue this daily, take an hour everyday to sit under the tree and meditate. This is your personal training, then we will start your proper training with jyuken. Do you have any problems with this?" Hinata shook her head as she was relieved that she was not punished and left the room, Hiashi then left to meet someone important to discuss on the issues that he wishes to discuss for a period. Hinata every morning would sit under the tree wondering why her father wants he to sit under this tree before her training. Though she is confused but every time she feels refresh and relax after the meditation, she mentally thanked her father for allowing that to happen. After the match with Hanabi, Hinata training regimen changed which she would not spar with Neji and the dojo only consists of her father and her. After the three years of training with her father, Hinata was eligible to study in ninja academy. Hiashi knew that Hinata could learn more if she studied in the academy decided to enroll her in, also to help in her shyness of meeting new people. At the enrollment ceremony, Hinata noticed there was a boy alone with no parents beside him, "O-Otou-sama…i-isn't the ceremony for parents and children?" Hiashi nodded in response. "W-Why is he alone?"

"Hinata there's some things to not know is better than knowing." Hiashi sternly tell Hinata to carefully warned her about asking things at the specific time, Hinata nodded timidly as the ceremony continues which the children are being led to their classroom and are told to expect what would happen for the four years in the academy. Which Hinata had learn more than taijutsu and learn more of the history of the hokages, especially the first and second – she felt more interesting into the two hokages more and their style of fighting. But was always stopped by the prankster in class – Naruto Uzumaki. Even though Hinata wanted to get more facts from her sensei but Naruto always make it hard for her, she still doesn't hate her because she adores him which makes it hard. Time slip to when they were 12 years old, just one month before the graduation test Hinata decided to talk to Naruto for once. "N-Naruto-kun!" Naruto was eating his lunch was startled by the voice and turned around to see who was that, he tried recalling her name but when he looked at her eyes and knew who she is. "You're the Hyuga girl! What's up?"

"i-I was wondering whether could i…. eat with you?" Hinata tried to sound as confidence as she can. "Really! Of course I would like to have your company, every time how I wish someone would eat with me." Naruto poured out his thoughts to Hinata and Hinata had blushes when she could eat with him. "I-I'm your first friend?" Naruto nodded and suddenly he thought of an idea. "Why don't we train together?" Hinata wanted to disagree that her father is training her, but when she thought that she had one hour to meditate why not train with Naruto. "I-It's fine with me." Then every day after lessons, the two would always spar with each other, every time Naruto would lose to Hinata but slowly as they train more, Naruto is slowly catching up to Hinata's every move. Hiashi was wondering why Hinata was home late every day and sent her personal guard Ko to find out, which he reported that she has been training with Naruto. After asking the important questions he dismissed him, knowing that nothing huge had happen decided to let them be until something happened. Just one day before the graduation tests… "Hinata do you know how to make a clone for exam?" Hinata shook her head, wondering why she can't do it like the rest. "It's fine since I can't do it too but we would definitely pass the test, believe it!"

"Of course I trust you, Naruto-kun." After spending one month with Naruto, Hinata learn to not stutter when talking to him. "Class today is your graduation test, hope everyone can pass!" Iruka started with the written test, then the taijutsu and the ninjutsu – creating a clone. Naruto and Hinata could not make a clone and was failed by Iruka since they failed to make a clone, then another sensei Mizuki tell Hinata and Naruto that there was another method to pass the test, that was to steal a scroll in the hokage office. Both of them went to steal the scroll and look through while waiting for Mizuki-sensei to come, which Iruka had found them with the scroll which the hokage has it. "Naruto Hinata why do you have the scroll?"

"Because I told them to give me, Iruka." Hinata and Naruto knew they were cheated and saw how Iruka was protecting and got angry and started to fight back. Naruto started to make multi shadow clone jutsu which surprises Iruka that he knew that jutsu, what was surprising that Hinata was shouting: Water release: water retain!"
