The match, in question had been an interesting one but however despite being main branch the fight did not go in hinatas favor as neji had used the eight trigrams 64 palms to block Hinatas chakra into her arms and with no way to attack she had two choices, Forfeit the match, or she would end up dying.
And its here nejis attacks keep making hinata fall down but each time she keeps getting back up and after his latest neji then says: "why keep fighting... Hinata we both know you are no longer able to continue" its here hinata as she struggles to get up tells neji: "I-I w-will never go back on my word… B-Because that too is my nindō, my ninja way!"
And, she keeps trying to attack but each time she is knocked down again and is now struggling to both get up and stand and shes seen holding the left side of her body with her right arm showing that she has a few broken ribs and the blood coming from her mouth was not a good sign as well. And neji now shocked at Hinatas newfound strength, thinks ("what is she doing") and then says: "Hinata I Am Warning you If You Continue Your Going To Die" and Hinata struggling to breathe not caring what Neji said then thinks ("it doesn't matter im i-im not going to make myself look bad not in front of the person i care about and who b-believes in me".)
And Hinata then says "I-im f-far from f-finished" and neji then says "Give Up The Tough Guy Act I Can Tell Your Barely Standing. Youve Been Carrying a Very Heavy Burdeon Having Been Born to the main branch of the Hyuga Clan. And You've Cursed and Blamed Yourself For being Weak". "Look people cant change the way they are Thats just How it is Just Accept Defeat And You Wont Have To Suffer Anymore" and hinata in disagreement at this then shakes her head and says "no your your wrong B-brother you've got it backwards"
And adding to it Hinata then says "y-you s-see i c-can tell.. That y-your t-the one Y-your s-suffering much more than i" and neji in disbelief at this says "I what" and hinata then says "y-your t-the o-one w-whose a-all torn up... About the fate of the main and side branches of the Hyuga Clan... A-and y-you Dont know Who I Really Am" she added with a weak smile on her face
And we see Neji then angrily growls and he then charges towards her. And Gekko seeing this says "Neji, Stop The Match Is Over!" however that plea fell on deaf ears as he does not listen however And Hinatas newfound confidence quickly drained out of her as she then goes to more terrified and its here kakashi is then wide eyed and he quickly tries to grab something or someone but he isn't fast enough and he barely scratches the "surface" of his jacket and its here Kakashi thinks ("this, this isn't possible" )
And Hinata now more scared then she ever would be closes her eyes and starts screaming and Gekko starts running towards Neji to stop him and we then hear the sound of an impact of an attack and Gekko stops dead in his tracks his eyes now wide in shock as the others and Hinata stops screaming when she hears the impact she then slowly starts opening her eyes thinking ("w-what, happened d-did i g-get hit?")
And its here she sees herself surrounded by smoke and she then looks and sees hayate and the others with looks of shock and disbelief and hinata then looks to the other side and sees kakashi, kurenai lee and shino and sakura with the same looks and Sakura covering her mouth and Kakashi as if he is frozen in place as his hand is still reaching to whoever he tried to grab and Hinata then notices a certain person isn't among them and she gets the same look of fear and she thinks ("n-no p-please t-this cant b-be r-real")
And now even more terrified about her thoughts and wishing they weren't reality she then hesitantly and shakenly turns her head and she then gasps loudly as she sees Naruto is in front of her grabbing with one hand onto nejis arm whos attack is shown to have hit naruto near the foxes seal and its here all hinata could whimper was "n-naruto" And its here neji then angrily says: "What Are You Doing Interfeering Dont Tell Me Your Giving The Main Branch Special Treatment!" And Naruto now glaring at neji says "I Dont Care What You Think Im Stopping You From Murdering Her!"
("N-Naruto" ) hinata thinks still in shock, and naruto then angrily says "You Dont think, i know about your hatred of Hinata. And the fact you've attacked her more than upon hearing this Neji then angrily says "how is it, someone like you could think that!" and with an slightly angered tone naruto then says "You must be a bigger idiot tha-" and Narutos speech is then cut off as neji then hits naruto in his chest and hinata gasps loudly at this not expecting that to happen
And kakashi seeing the blood starting to trickle down out of Narutos mouth and he thinks ("something isn't right the foxes chakra would be healing him at this rate... Did neji somehow block off the foxes connection with naruto")
And naruto still not giving up then says "You Really Are an idiot you call hinata a failure how shes nothing but"- and its here neji then hits naruto again and naruto then lets go of nejis arm and neji then says "Once A Failure Always A Failure" and hearing this naruto now more angered at Nejis cruel demeaner then says "is that so... You Should Be Grateful Hinata Is EVEN KIND TO YOU!" much to nNejis annoyance
And its here neji then says "why is it that you even care that Hinata Is Kind To Me!" and hearing this naruto then says "Because... I never had the one thing the both of you have... A Family! People who Care About Your Well-Being and are there to protect you... And you think Calling Hinata A Failure is a good Excuse to Try And Kill Her You'd Have Blood On Your Hands You'll Never Be Able To Wash Off!"
And its here hinata then thinks (n naruto) And its here Neji then says coming from the village pariah you think your words are noble... But Your Just Like Hinata! And its here naruto then says Yeah Well At Least I- and its here neji then hits naruto in his chest again and more blood starts coming out of his mouth and his legs start slightly shaking and sakura says k kakashi s sensei w why a arent t they stopping the match and its here kakashi says I... I dont know
And its here Neji then says You Really think That Youll End Up as Hokage... If anything your not meant to be hokage and like hinata you were never meant to be a ninja and upon hearing this causes Sakura to angrily shout "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" neji becomes irritated at this And she then shouts NARUTO MAY BE AN IDIOT BUT HES SHOWN MORE HONOR AS A NINJA THEN YOU!" however Neji simply ignores her. And naruto then says "she is r-" and its here neji hits naruto again this time with more force and naruto slightly skids and he starts struggling to stand and we now see tears forming in Hinatas eyes and wanting this to stop then says in a begging tone: N-Neji P-Please S-Stop Y-Your.. Y-Your H-Hurting H-Him"
However, this plea would fall upon deaf ears as Neji then glares at his cousin and then says "Stay Out Of This Hinata!" much to her dismay fear And with it neji then glares at naruto and then says "Why dont you Drop the Act and Just Admit it". And hearing this Naruto then says "admit what" and neji then with a cold look on his face then proceeds to say "That You Think Of Hinata As The Others Do" and this gets everyone a look of shock and Neji then says " In Reality You think shes Weak, that she will never amount to anything but a failure Everybody thinks of her like that Her Sensei Her Teammates And Even You" and this brings Hinata to the brink of breaking down as she thinks ("N-No He He's w-wrong N-Naruto w-wouldn't th-think-") however she's then pulled out of her thoughts as neji then says "Admit It Even After Your Futile Attempt at Saving Her You Think Of Her Just As The Others Do" and upon hearing this Naruto then says: "Your right"
This causes everyone in the stands watching to gasp in either shock and anger over what naruto said especially hinata who was now heartbroken over what naruto said And its here she completely breaks down as tears start rolling down her cheeks and she starts crying and she thinks ("S-so i-it's t-true N-Naruto a-and m-my t-team n-never b-believed i-in m-me at a-all... Th-they... they n-never c-cared a-at a-all")
And its here kurenai angrily glaring at naruto same as kakashi thinks ("if naruto never cared for hinata at all then why did he even risk his own life to protect her!") and naruto then smirks at Neji and then says "Heh That is What a Failure is" and its here hinata still crying then thinks (N-Naruto I... I t-thought y-you w-were d-different th-than th-the o-others... I-I w was wrong)
And its here naruto then says: But Thats Not Who Hinata Is Shes Nothing Like That! This caught everyone in the room off guard to their surprise after hearing this
And upon hearing this hinata then opens her eyes and looks back at naruto and naruto remembering when iruka then stood up for him then says: Hinatas One of A Kind Works Hard Cares for those around and puts her whole heart into everything she does. Sure shes emotional doesnt like conflict and everyone jumps on her. But That Suffering Only Makes Her Stronger thats what seperates her from being a failure. So your wrong she isnt a disgrace or a failure. Shes Hinata Hyuga.. Of The Village Hidden In The Leaves!
All while hinata now starts lightly sobbing this time with relief and joy
And she then thinks ("N-Naruto y-you r-really do b-believe in m-me")
And neji now more irritated then says "do you honestly believe the drivel coming out of your mouth"
Which he replies with a smile and saying "Believe It!"
And hearing this neji then grits his teeth and says "Then Its Time I Shut You Up Once And For All!"
With that said he proceeds to charge toward naruto with the goal to finish him
And its here naruto then smirks and thinks ('humph' "so this is it") and hinata seeing neji charging thinks ("n-no... B-BYAKUGAN") and we then see neji is then hit as he skids back across the floor and now everyone is in more shock to see hinata now standing in front of naruto with her byakugan active.
And both kurenai and naruto seeing this think in disbelief ("Hinata") and hinata then says "i-if you ever try to h-hurt N-Naruto again... N-Neji... I s-swear... I Will Kill You!"
And neji then gets up and he says "Those are big words Hinata... But do you have the strength to back it up"
She replies by getting into a fight pose saying whatever a-attack you throw a-at me ill send it back t-ten times stronger!
And after saying that The two then charge at each other and we see them fight and we see hinata attacking more faster and more savagely and sakura seeing this in disbelief says "wait but her chakra it's how-how is- and kakashi answers her and says "she and naruto weren't using their own chakra... But their own willpower"
"Will power?" asks sakura
And kakashi then says "well everyone possesses a willpower think of it as a second flow of chakra and depending on someones own will this power is more powerful than their normal chakra even cutting off chakra points doesn't hinder it but... And sakura says but what and kakashi says being able to use it is difficult but I've heard the their are a few ways to access it either through anger or... Wanting to protect someone you care about against all odds"
"Than that means!" asks sakura
And kakashi says "by naruto risking his own life to protect hinata and her determination to protect him she was able to tap into her own willpower"
"so hinata shes fighting... To protect naruto" the pink haired kunoichi says in disbelief
"Exactly" he says
And its here we then see hinata then hit neji and he is knocked back and its here he then struggles to get up and its here hinata then grabs him by his shirt and she then has a kunai in her hands and glaring at him hinata then says "Is This The Power You Wanted To See!"
He doesn't answer, now Hinata then raises the kunai ready to strike neji in his head and she then shouts: "ANSWER ME!"
He still doesn't
And soon Neji then smirks and thinks ("humph and all it took was hurting the boy she loves")
And now with her anger beginning to take over her actions hinata then prepares to drive the kunai into nejis head and shouts "I SAID ANSWER ME!"
And before Hinata has a chance to drive it into nejis skull its knocked out of her hands and shes then restrained by the four Jounin each holding onto her tightly so she can't break free
And we see hinata still in her rage trying to break free and neji getting up says "what are you-" and guy cuts off his student and says in a somewhat angered tone "Isn't it obvious stopping her from sending you to the grave!"
And its here hinata then angrily says as she struggles: "Let G-Go Of Me!" all while being held down by jonin
And kurenai now needing to calm down her student then says "Hinata Just Calm-" and its here hinata then angrily shouts: "SHUT UP, I SAID LET GO OF ME!"
And soon she then angrily glares at her sensei shocking her and gekko then proceeds to poke hinata on her forehead and kurenai angrily says: "Listen Hinata Its Over!"
And its here hinata then stops struggling and it breaks her out of her anger and says "k-kur-" and cutting her off kurenai then angrily says: "Do You Hear Me Hinata Its Over!"
scaring hinata with kurenais angered look on her face
And hinata now terrified at Kurenais angered tone then says with a scared tone: "i-im... I-im s-sorry" thus reverting her back to her shy, usual self
And gekko says with a disappointed and angered tone: "in all honesty neji Im Surprised that you dont find yourself ashamed at your own actions"
And gekko then says "from trying to commit a murder to attacking another candidate!"
however neji brushes it off as if it were nothing and guy sharing the same disappointed look as the other jounin says "he has a point neji after all you gave me your word you wouldnt bring your family problems into the exams"
And neji then is about to say something before kakashi shuts him up by saying "before you even start both of them have a point if anything its as if you have no honor at all"
to which he ignores his words
And Gekko then says "despite everything it seems that the clear winner of this is hinata and she was able to knock you to the ground without using her chakra" soon Gekko then coughs and then says: "But Consider Yourself Lucky Im Granting You This Victory When She Has Shown More Honor As A Shinobi As You!"
"as if i where to care" Neji then says in his usual tone
And upon hearing Gekko announce neji is the winner of this match those in the stands are in protest at this with Shikamaru saying "You Gotta Be Kidding Me" He and Ino adds her own opinion and Says That Bastard Shouldn't Even Have That Victory!" and its here Sakura says: "I Swear If I was Down There Id Knock His Lights out!" And hearing this Lee says "although i am glad that neji won-" however he wouldn't be talking for long as Sakura then grabs lee and violently shakes him and with an anime angry face she angrily says "And Your Just Happy That He Attacked My Teammate!" thus giving Lee a look of absolute fear
And not wanting to be hurt lee says as hes being shaken: "No No Thats Not What I Meant"
"Then WHAT"! says sakura bringing him closer to his face
And Lee now not wanting to get punched by sakura then says: "im just saying, i would be glad that neji has this victory but he really doesnt deserve it after attacking naruto"
All the while naruto watching this starts to get a weird pain in his chest and thinks ("i... I dont feel so-") and not long after he feels a sharp in his chest and he screams in pain and kakashi seeing this says in a worried tone: "Naruto." And he then lets go of hinata and rushes to narutos side
And kakashi then proceeds to lay naruto down and naruto then raspily says: "K-Kakashi... sen..ei and kakashi hearing this says: "Dont worry kid im here just hold on you'll be fine" and its here naruto then lightly smiles and raspily says: "heh... too late"
And we then sakura and lee jump down and rush over to naruto and sakura with a look of worry on her face then says: "Naruto what Were you thinking you you could've gotten yourself killed" and Naruto then turns his head and looks at hinata and before going unconscious says: "I... I H.. Had Too..."
And its here sakura then says: "What do you mean had to... Naruto?... Naruto!" and soon the other jounin let go of hinata and they rush over to kakashi and hinata thinks ("N-Naruto")
And Neji seeing this then proceeds to further demoralize her and says to her: "Tell Me Hinata Does He Know About Your Feelings For Him"
to which she looks at him and she then says with fear in her voice: "wh-what"
"did I strike a nerve" asks neji with an uncaring smirk on his face
And neji then says "If anything hes a bigger idiot than you or he thinks if anything hell be lucky to be breathing again"... "That is if he doesnt die from his injuries here and now."
Upon hinata then grows more scared at this and neji then says "But Then Again its fitting isn't it that the boy you love loses his life protecting you... And its here neji then smirks and says when you cant even protect yourself"
lowering her head she mumbles something quietly not wanting to show him that her anger is coming back
And neji still smirking then says: "what was that i couldn't hear you... Are you filled with so much guilt you've forgotten how to-" and its here Hinata with her hands clenched into fists looks at neji and angrily shouts "SHUT UP JUST SHUT UP!"
And this little outburst gains everyone's attention and we see hinata then angrily activates her byakugan and tries to attack neji and gekko then is about to stop her but its here lee then hits hinata in her stomach knocking the wind out of her and she then falls onto her hands and knees wheezing and coughing and gagking up blood
And lee says "forgive me hinata but i had to stop you"
And not caring hinata then angrily glares at neji and she tries to get up but she cant from the pain and its here lee says hinata stop trying to fight its over
And now hinata trying to get up says: "it..its not o-over until I- GAGKHAGH" and she then falls back to her hands and begins coughing and gagging up more blood
And now lee then says "you are in no good condition to fight dont start a fight that isn't meant for you."
she proceeds to cough up more blood, and she then looks at lee and he sees the pain in her face and he then whispers into her ear: "think about it naruto is still a candidate for the third exam why do you think gekko gave neji this victory i think its so that he and naruto would have to fight. Wouldnt it be better to see naruto fight neji rather than hurting yourself more than you are now"
And hinata then glares at neji again and as much as she wanted to hurt him she knew lee was right and she then says : "F-Fine... Y-Your Right!"
And not long after we then see naruto then gagk up more blood in pain and most then look in his direction in worry and hinata with more worry and fear
And kakashi then unzips narutos jacket and puts his hand on narutos chest and his other with two fingers on the side of his neck and checks narutos pulse and he thinks ("this isn't good He's going into cardiac arrest... My worries became reality the foxes chakra is cut off from narutos body... Was he really trying to Kill him!")
And kurenai then walks over to Hinata helps her to her feet and says "Hinata, are you alright"
"i-i-im" fine she says
And its here neji then says "if i were you i wouldn't be worrying about her right now"
with that kurenai glares at him starting to find his ignorance enough to make her want to hit him and kakashi now fed up with nejis attitude says: "I've Had Just About Enough!"
And with it kakashi then looks over at Neji and glaring at him says "Listen, Hyuga and Listen Well Because Im Warning You! If Anything Happens To Naruto I Assure You... I Will Not Be Merciful!"
Neji however could care less and hinata thinking kakashi was talking to her starts getting scared and kakashi then says "I Am Not Joking I Swear If Anything Happens... Be Ready to Be Looking Over Your Shoulder For The Rest Of Your Life"
however neji brushes off kakashis words and hinata is now more terrified and kurenai seeing this says "Hinata... Whats wrong"
"n-n-n-nothing sensei" :she says
"are you sure" Kurenai asks with a concerned tone obviously, seeing how shaken up at the turn of events.
"i-i-i-am s sensei" : Hinata replies in a weak and scared tone
"okay hinata" : Kurenai replies however she had her doubts, and she then takes hinata over to the others and when she sees the unconscious naruto she gets more terrified and she thinks ("N-Naruto")
And its here she then hears Kiba in her head and he says: ["I Told You To Be Smart And Walk Away And You Didn't Listen!"]
"K-Kiba":: Hinata says to herself in disbelief that her teammate would be in her head, with this she then hears Neji in her head as well: ["You really think your brave But in Reality Your Nothing More Than a Pathetic Weakling You Know He Blames You!"]
"n-no i its n-not true" she says placing both hands on her head
However all of her fears came into reality when she then hears naruto in her head angrily yell at her: ["THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT HINATA! ITS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I'M GONNA DIE!"]
And Hinata now goes wide eyed and she then puts her arms down and she tries to stop herself from crying and she then thinks while trying not to sob ("i it... I it... I its a all m my f fault")
its here tears start flowing down her cheeks as she thinks again ("I-It... I-Its A-All M-My F-Fault")
And soon kurenai hearing hinatas sobbing puts a hand on her shoulder and says: "Hinata... Are You-" And Hinata now more scared than ever gets kurenais hand off her then starts backing away from kurenai
"Hinata" Kurenai repeats attempting to approach her
And, hinata now keeps backing away from her this time more frantic
"hinata" repeats Kurenai more concerned, if anything she wasn't sure why she was acting like this
And hinata doesn't say anything and she keeps backing away from her sensei terrified at what she thinks she'll do to her.
"Hinata" she repeats now with an upset strict tone in an attempt to stop hinata, however this causes hinata to get more scared and she keeps backing away
And kurenai now getting angry then says in an angered tone: "Hinata" and Hinata whose words come out more of as a whimper then whimpers out: "s-s stay a-away f-f from m-me."
Now, kurenai then says in a strict tone: "Hinata Stop Right Now!" And hinata still filled with absolute fear keeps backing away from her instructor. And she keeps backing away until she then hits a wall and she then freezes in fear and she says in a more scared tone: k-keep a-away f-from m-me"
And its here kurenai still approaching her now fed up with Hinatas behavior says "Hinata, What Is The Matter With-" and Hinata now more terrified shouts "GET AWAY FROM ME JUST LEAVE ME ALONE S-STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
And this makes kurenai stop in place and she says with a more worried tone: "Hinata"
And soon hinata then looks and sees the stairs and its here she then runs towards them and as she goes up them and kurenai proceeds to go after her shouting with worry "HINATA STOP!"
however hinata proceeds to run out of the arena
kurenai in an attempt to stop her shouts "HINATA WAIT STOP, COME BACK"!
sadly it was too late and now hinata is running through the towers lobby and then towards its entrance and shes then out of the tower running through the forest and she then jumps onto a tree branch and begins leaping from tree branch to tree branch
And kurenai still in the arena now worried about what is going on with Hinata is about to go after and its here kakashi then stops her and says: "No, I'll go after her."
"You kakashi?" she asks
"with All Due respect Kakashi" Kurenai says "But Hinata Is my Student!" she then adds. "tell me do you know" :Kakashi then says to the now confused jounin.
"know what" she asks
"Do you Know exactly why Hinata ran away" : Kakashi says, in his usual calm tone.
Upon hearing this kurenai in a curious and somewhat confused tone then says: "why ask"
And kakashi then says: "think about it. And we then see hinata jumping from tree to tree with tears in her eyes and kakashi says while we see this: "Hinata is filled with guilt over what has transpired she blames herself for what happened to naruto and with nejis psychological attacks on her and with what he said to her after everything thats happened shes afraid. Right now shes now a scared little girl". And we see hinata then collapses on her hands and knees panting heavily and we then move back to the tower and kakashi then says: "and with what i saw your not the best person she'll want to talk to but ill at least try... And Kurenai, Find me when naruto is taken away by the medical nin and put into immediate medical treatment" and kakashi then disappears and kurenai thinks ("Kakashi... You better know what your Doing")
