Missing Chapters from Children of the Ninja

By Hikari Dohjutsu

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I do however own the o.c Taetae and Haku

A/N: This chapter is rated T just to safe, I don't think it's really necessary though…


Tenten Hyuuga peered carefully around the corner of the kitchen, ever vigilant, prepared for Haku's next prank. She tiptoed carefully down the hallway when…

"Morning Mom!" Taetae chirped good-naturedly.

Tenten jumped and sighed in relief.

"Morning Taetae," Tenten smiled at her only daughter.

Taetae was exactly like her mother personality wise, something that irritated most Hyuuga clan members to no end. Despite having the Byakugan, her main interest was in her weapons. She rarely practiced Hyuuga taijutsu techniques. She saw her Byakugan as a way to better improve her already perfect aim. Tenten was indeed very proud of her daughter.

"I've got to go mom!' Taetae grabbed her weapon's pouch and waved "Bye!" she ran to the front door, pulled on the door knob, and came face to face with the Hyuuga clan leader, Hyuuga Hanabi.

"Hanabi-sama!" Taetae exclaimed and bowed respectfully.

"Tae-chan, how are you?" Hanabi smiled softly.

Taetae grinned, "Great Hanabi-sama!" she then called to her back, "Mom! Dad! Hanabi-sama is here to see you,"

Taetae then turned to the Hyuuga clan leader; Hanabi Hyuuga was a good clan leader, strong and wise with an attitude to boot.

"I've got a mission today Hanabi-sama please come see us again soon," Taetae grinned.

Hanabi laughed, "Of course Tae-chan,"

With one last wave to her aunt, Taetae ran down the steps toward the direction of the Gondaime's building.

"Good morning, Hanabi-sama," Neji greeted his younger cousin quietly.

Tenten glanced suspiciously at Hanabi, "You really are Hanabi-sama?"

Hanabi tilted her head in slight confusion, "Yes…"

Tenten sighed in relief and her shoulders seemed to relax a bit more.

"To what do we owe the honor of having you visit us Hanabi-sama?" Neji asked looking down at the younger Hyuuga.

Hanabi looked slightly uncomfortable, "You might want to sit down," Hanabi advised.

Tenten and Neji glanced at each other, but complied to the clan leader's wishes.

"Well," Hanabi started awkwardly, refusing to look them in the eye, "As you both very well know I was forced to remain single because of my status as the only main house heiress to the Hyuuga clan,"

Tenten remembered very well the hurt the young teenaged Hanabi went through as she had to severe all ties with her suitor after Hinata's untimely death. She had pitied her, but Hanabi had taken on her sudden role with grace and personality.

"This leaves us with no clan leader after my death,"

Neji's face remained as stoical as ever, Tenten however raised her eyebrow in questioning curiosity.

"As the clan rules instruct we will have to find a new leader from the branch house, "

Hanabi glanced down at the floor.

"The council of elders and I would like you two to consider having another child, if he is a male I would like to have him be the future Hyuuga clan leader,"

She looked up to see two very different reactions, Neji's eyes had lit up and Tenten's mouth had dropped open.

"Of course Hanabi-sama," Neji inclined his head respectfully, "It would be an honor for my offspring to be the future Hyuuga clan leader,"

"Neji!" Tenten looked at her husband, shocked and angry. "Neither of us have the time to raise another child!"

Neji sighed, "Tenten we'll find the time,"

"How?" Tenten asked her eyes flashing dangerously, "We're both genin sensei now, Taetae is a genin herself, I cannot just take off almost a year from my job!"

"Tenten think about it," Neji urged, "Our son could become Hyuuga clan leader,"

Tenten rolled her eyes, "And what if it's another girl?"

Neji shook his head, "It won't be another girl," Neji declared confidently.

Tenten was really starting to get mad now, "There would be a 14-15 year age difference between Taetae and the baby, we're too old!"

Neji shrugged, "We're not that old,"

Tenten was ready to start throwing kunai at her husband, "If you want a baby so bad you go into labor!"

Hanabi who had been watching the argument closely held her hand up to silence them.

"It was merely a suggestion," Hanabi told them quietly. She slowly rose to her feet, "I must be going now she bowed at her relatives, and serenely walked out the door.

There was an awkward silence in the house, "I've got to go Neji," Tenten said, her tone of voice cold enough to scare the Hyuuga prodigy.

She walked out the door.


A/N: Does anyone want there to be a Konohamaru/Hanabi, or Udon/Hanabi in the story, it would just be a minor pairing, I wanted to keep Hanabi single, but if anyone wants, I'll add either of those pairings to the story. I'm open to suggestions for future chapters, if you want to learn more about the more minor characters or something like that.
