So, I'll introduce the idea again. I already started the same type of story for Sasuke, but here's what the basic idea is.
What if something happened so that Naruto wasn't the jinchuuriki for kyuubi? What if someone else was made the kyuubi's container? My first two ideas were Sasuke and Hinata, and what would happen if either of them became a Jinchuuriki instead. So, I started on Sasuke first, and now I've got Hinata going. I don't think that anyone else has ever done this, but please let me know if someone has. I'd like to see what they did, and feel free to take this idea and run with it yourself. Just let me know so I can see your take on it.
Meanwhilee, here's Jinchuuriki Hinata! Read and review please.
People were in a panic as they were being herded to the safety zones by the genin. The kyuubi was attacking Konoha, and a fourth of the city and its outlying lands were already destroyed. Through this, however, one man was walking fairly calmly. One would only say fairly because he wasn't rushing in a panic. He had an idea of what was going to happen. He'd been to the battlefront before being called to check on his wife and her removal to safety. She had been in poor health ever since entering her third trimester and her health had degraded yet again. While he was attending to her, a Hyuuga who work in the anbu came and gave him a report on the hokage and his preparations to attack the kyuubi himself. While the anbu didn't understand the importance of what they had said, Hyuuga Hiashi did, and he was going to confront the hokage before he finished his work.

"I'm sorry, my son, but this is the way it has to be," said Minato to his new born child. He had worked in tears he whole nights. He had been happy when his son had been born a few hours ago, and then his wife had died, and he was devastated, but he had his son to comfort him; a reminder of his wife. He'd had no idea that he would be forced to give up his own life, and leave his son alone in the world just a few hours later. He cried as he thought over what his son would go through.
He had told he sandaime hokage that he wanted his son to be remembered as a hero, but he knew how life was, and he knew that his son would not be honored but hated. But to protect his village, and give his son the power to defend it, he had to do this, and curse his son to a life, at least at the beginning, or hate.
As he raised his hand to finalize the seal, he heard a hard knock on the door. He quickly put his son the crib next to him and covered most of his seal work on the desk.
"Come in quickly!" And so Hiashi did, bowing to him.
"Hokage sama, I have a request to make of you." The yondaime hokage almost slapped his face.
"Hyuuga Hiashi, can this not wait until after the Kyuubi is dealt with!" Hiashi looked at him pointedly.
"I think we both know that you will not be here after to deal with me…" Minato looked at him with a… stronger expression. It was not surprise, but something akin to it.
"What do you mean?" The Hyuuga pointed behind the hokage's desk.
"Your son is soon to be a jinchuuriki, and you will be dead. And I think that we also both know how the people will treat your son when they learn of this." Minato sat down, feeling even more the weight of what he was doing.
"Hyuuga Hiashi, you know that I must do it, and how could I do this to another's child but my own? This terrible curse will be his burden, but also, a gift so that he can better… protect this village."
"I may have something of a solution," the Hyuuga said. Minato raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"My heir is yet to be born, but would it not be possible to arrange a seal so that the Kyuubi is sealed into them instead? And then after this, would it not be possible that we arrange to have me and my family take care of the child? This would cause both misdirection, and allow your child to have support from those around him." Minato had put his elbows on the desk, with his fingertips together just in front of his face, and was now looking at the Hyuuga critically.
"This is an… interesting idea, Hyuuga-san, but tell me, why?" Hiashi smiled inside. He was being considered.
"Hokage-sama, you obviously fear some individual trying to destroy the village in the years after your death. The initial plan here it to create misdirection as to whom you sealed the kyuubi into. They will no doubt learn of it, and this will draw further attention to him. However, the real jinchuuriki will not be known, and thus protected with more ability to be trained in secret. On top of that, the jinchuuriki will have a powerful kekkei genkai to aid them in their future battles." The hokage was listening, slowly tapping his fingers together. Then he tilted them to direct hem at the Hyuuga.
"What about you? What about your child? Why?" Hiashi had hoped that he'd be satisfied with the other answers, but that didn't mean that he wasn't prepared to answer this one.
"Hokage-sama, you know that we will seek the best interest of Konoha, and I will be candid in my response, especially since we both know that you will know if I lie.
"My clan has been in some degree of decline for years. While it is true that our plan would cause misdirection, it would also provide cover for my child so that they can help us cease our decline without the hate that would otherwise be directed towards them. While publicly this power would hurt us, if it is kept secret, it could yet save us, and who else would there be better than us to handle this task?" Hiashi ended there, hoping that the hokage would go with his plan. For now the hokage was looking at his own child, pulling him from the crib to cradle him as he thought.
Some minutes later Hiashi left the tower with a seal paper in his hand, and instructions on how to use it. He would have a jinchuuriki as a child, and he would provide protection for the hokage's as well, despite the inconvenience. He felt the reason that he was trusted in the end is the knowledge that his pride would ensure that he kept his word. He was a little saddened by the last thing that the hokage had told him, though.
"Know, Hyuuga Hiashi, that this will further degrade your wife's health. She will be more likely than ever to die, as mine did, at childbirth." Hiashi had only nodded, and signaled that he continue with his seal work. He had already resigned himself to her probable death. This pregnancy had not gone well with her, and so he expected the worst. Still, the Hyuuga would get what they deserved, the power they ought to have. Besides, they would have the child of the hokage in their midst. Surely he would be as naturally talented as his father. What secrets, what new abilities would he add to their midst?
Smiling, Hiashi quickened his pace to make sure that he would make it in time. He would place the seal on his wife's belly, and when the hokage seemed to be sealing the demon into the child that was in his arms, that seal would be transferring it to Hiashi's unborn child, his heir, and the one he felt would be a powerful shinobi one day to give them back the power and respect that ought to be theirs.

Minato looked down at his son.
"Am I doing the right thing, Kushina, my love, for our child? I just don't want him to be alone…" He looked out the window at the towering Kyuubi. "No one should be alone in this world, but he will still be hated for nothing! Is there nothing that I can do? Nothing for him, or for Hiashi's poor child that will be trained solely to be a weapon?" He stroked the face of his now dead wife in the picture that he kept at his bedside. A moment later, an idea came to him.
"Summoning jutsu!"
.

Sometime later, after the attack was over, a small toad was creeping around. They knew that someone else had been watching, as had Minato-sama, so they had worked things out to still deliver a message. Those darn root anbu were so annoying, though. That Danzo had been giving them trouble for years, and killed more than one toad that had been sent as a spy, but far fewer than had been sent. Fortunate, even he did not know about Minato's conversation with Hiashi. No one knew, and only one other person would. Hiashi had promised that only he would know the truth, but the hokage wanted another to know, so that they would be able to provide further protection and guidance to both children. Minato had even entertained the thought that Hiashi's child might be a daughter and that having another influence could bring the two together and form a greater bond.
Of course, getting to the person unseen would be the most difficult part. Those eyes could see everything. Of course, a toad would be a little less suspicious than normal, and there was the little stream that came into the garden…
Soon Gamateuchi was in the garden and began to look around for the one he wanted. He found him in a room further away from the main family, playing with his little son to distract him from craziness that was surrounding the village's atmosphere at the moment. He approached him. After all, the child was young and would be easily put to the side while they talked.
"Hyuuga-san, I have a message for you…" The branch member looked up in surprise to see a talking toad, but reacted quickly, telling his son to look for a flower for him from the garden.
"Did the hokage send you? I know he can do toad summons." The toad nodded.
"Yes, and he had something he wanted you to know and take care of…" As the toad explained, the man's eyes widened in surprise, but nodded as he was asked to look after the two children.
"Very well, they shall be watched over by me discreetly. I shall not fail in this last mission that the hokage has given me, and I will love his son as my own."
"Very good. Good luck, Hyuuga san." The Hyuuga man nodded.
"Thank-you, and may Kami grace you and your family." With that, the hokage's last will was given out, and the next day it was announced that a paper in the hokage's office showed that he had gone over all those who could take in the child the kyuubi was sealed into, and that the Hyuugas were selected. Hiashi put on a show of not wanting the child, but took him in. The Hyuuga were pitied more than reviled for this, as Hiashi had shown how much they didn't want the child, and so things looked well. Still, one byakugan set of eyes pitied the child, knowing the truth. The future for this child would be hard and harsh, but he would do what he could to soften this for him, and also for his nephew…or would it maybe be a niece? He shrugged. He'd just have to wait another month or so for the Hyuuga heir to be born, and then watch over them closely.
So, i hope you like it. This will be a long project, and it'll probably be at least a week till the next update because of exams being this week, and needing to travel home to visit family [where i will be helping my grandpa with a little bit of remodel for my parents house]. [should be fun!!! :) ]
Anyways, like i said, I've also got one going for Sasuke, so read that one, too, and review. Just got to my profile to find it, and you know what? Read anything else on my profile that catches you interest, if anything.
Also, I know i kinda hint to the mean Hiashi here, but I'm gong to try and start a poll [first time, so I'm trying to figure it out] and let everyone vote for whether Hiashi should be mean, or nice. Oh, and I'm planning on his brother living instead of dying in this story [don't worry, it'll make sense when it happens]. So, go and vote!
Thank-you very much, and happy easter everyone!
