The Children of the Sunflower Chapter #1: The Perfect Sword
#This is a parellel universe to Naruto. I get to do whatever I want to do with my characters, so this will not make sense sometimes compared to real Naruto.
Himawari remembered the first day she saw a weapon. She prized that day and would for years. She knew she was more on her mother's clan but still wanted to become a weapon-type ninja. She remembered and loved the story of how her father, the 7th Hokage(Boruto made jokes and called him the HoHoHokage) finally fell for Hinata-okasama and got married.
-FLASHBACK-
"Hey, Himawari, Boruto, wanna know the story how we got married that day?" Naruto asked. "Hai, hai, Hokage-otosama!" both Boruto and Himawari said in unison.
"Okay, so one day..."
Hinata was hiding around a corner waiting for Naruto. Suddenly, Naruto came running and crashed into Hinata. They both flipped and landed with Naruto's lips centimeters from Hinata's lips. Hinata thought she was going to die from being embarrased."W-well I wanted to give you this package for your chunin graduation, Naruto-san." "W-well, Hinata-chan I was g-going to tell you s-something..." "He's stuttering? This must be important," thought Hinata. "Well, I wanted to invite you to a date at Ichiraku," Naruto stuttered.
"And you know what happened next," added Naruto as he concluded.
She smiled at the memory of the story. Suddenly, she snapped back to the present. She was going to the weapon shop with Hiashi-ojiisan to pick out a brand new sword! Once again, a smile crept onto her face. Suddenly, she frowned in thought. What if she got ANOTHER wooden weapon? She was tired of wooden weapons. At this point, she could get a over sized needle and be pleased. Suddenly, she had a BIG grin. What if she did get a real sword? What if- Hiashi-ojiisan interrupted her thoughts. "I saw your facial expressions! You must be seriously bipolar," he said with a bit of a grin. When they arrived, she saw many types of weapons, just as she had seen many years before.
-FLASHBACK-
While Himawari was walking home with Hinata-okasama, they passed the weapon store."Hinata-okasama, what are those?" a young Himawari asked. "They are swords and other weapons, Himawari," replied Hinata. "Do you have a interest in them?" She didn't need a answer, as Himawari was staring in the window with a curious look. When they got home, she saw Naruto-otosama whispering to Hinata-okasama. On her next birthday, she got a wooden sword. She was so happ-
A voice, once again, of Hiashi-ojiisan interrupted the flashback. "Well, are you going to get a weapon or not, because I always can bring you home and train you with a wooden stick," he said with a note of teasing in his voice. Out of her thoughts, she looked around. Many weapons to choose from! Which should she pick? She finally settled with a mini-sword with cool-looking mini-rivers carved leading from holes in the handle so some jutsu could be expelled from the blade. "I was hoping she would pick that one because she still can do some of the family jutsu with that blade," Hiashi thought with a smile. After they went home, Hinata-okasama greeted her with great news. "You will have your academy exam in a week!" Himawari couldn't wait. Then she remembered the bullies who called her "The Silly Deviant Jutsu Hair" because of her ahoge(silly hair) and the fact she liked swords. She didn't consider the name very creative. She wanted to well, do something about it.
The next day she took her swords to school. "This will show them," she thought. When they came out to the playground to bully her, she swiped the leader across the face. "The is what you get for bulling me!" The bullies stood there, stunned then quickly switched their faces to "bully" mode. "What we get, eh? This is what YOU get!" They let out a scream and charged. When they reached Himawari, they performed their signature move, a rip-off of Naruto Rendan (sometimes called Naruto 2K Barrage or Naruto Uzumaki Barrage), hitting Himawari across the playground. Himawari was fuming. They got what they- actually, less than what they deserved, and they hit her with at least 3 times the damage. "Time to put these swords -and me- to the test," she thought. The bullies drew sharp swords. A crowd was gathering to watch. "Is that the Hokage's daughter?" "Is that the bullies?" "Are they going to fight?" "Who is going to win?"
Himawari felt nervous suddenly. There was a whole crowd watching! Then, she remembered what they deserved. She channeled chakra into her sword. This sword wasn't going to break anytime soon! With a silent battle call, she charged. There was a clash of blades. Himawari blocked all 3 swords with quick movements. Then she came in for a counter-strike. She was about to slice a bully's hand to make him drop his sword and punish him when suddenly, she stopped. She realized she was shaking already for the battle. She dropped her sword. "What's wrong with me, I need to give these bullies a punishment," one side of her thought. The other said "You can't hurt them badly, they are still humans." She realized she was too soft to do something like that. Suddenly, a bully sliced her across the cheek. "Too soft, huh?" The bullies had already realized her softness and charged in for retaliation. They were charging toward Himawari when suddenly, a blast knocked them off their feet. Naruto-otosama and Hinata-okasama appeared from the dust. "What are you doing to Himawari, my daughter?" The calmness of Hinata-okasama's face was scary. Naruto, though clearly was enraged. "I might have to put you in jail if you weren't only 12 for group attacking or whatever it's called!" After the whole thing was settled, Naruto sat down with Hinata.
"Looks like she inherited your shyness," began Naruto. "Well, that is true, so what should we do? We can't protect her forever.." said Hinata."Well, I think it is time to start training her in her Byakugan more, remember when I was knocked out at my Hokage ceremony? That was Himawari." Hinata was shocked. "But your tenketsu were blocked! How could she be so skilled?" "Well, I don't know. We should train her in that line of jutsu, ans since she likes her sword so much, let her incoporate the jutsu into her swordfighting."
