Chapter 3- Nanashi Dokaitesei

"...Naruto?" Asked Hinata. Both Tsunade and the man surprised at what this normally shy girl said.

"I'm sorry? Who?" The man asked.

"Oh. Nothing." She said, returning to her shy state.

Tsunade stared at Hinata for a second, then turned to the man and said, "Go on, you were about to say something."

"Before we do that," He said, turning to Hinata, "My name is Nanashi(AN: Which means no name. Dokaitesei(AN: not going to tell you :p), and Iam not this Naruto person of which you speak of."

"Ok." Said Hinata. Mentally slapping herself for her stupidity. I mean of course he looks like him, but he can't really be him. She thought, I mean, there's probably a logical reason for all those slashes on his face, and he's much taller than him. And not to offend him but he never wore anything so... Stylish. Looking at his dark blue long sleeve shirt and black pants with holes at the knees.

"Good, now that that's settled, the reason I came." Said Nanashi, sitting back down. "It seems Orochimaru and his village hidden in the sound is planning an invasion on the leaf, like the one ten years ago. Apparently he is near death and is going to come back to take the body of Uchiha Sasuke."

They both gasped. "But why are you telling me this?" Asked Hinata.

"Well I have two objectives in this mission; two convince the ninja's to stay and fight them off and to safely get the civilians away from the fight."

Tsunade slammed her fist on the desk, yelling at Nanashi, "Are You mad? Do you want to bring death to all of us?"

Nanashi shook his head, "That is not the plan at all. The reason I say that is because if we stayed inside the village, they wouldn't suspect an ambush on them, because no one knows I know their plan."

"How do we know your reasons are legit?" Asked Tsunade.

"In all honesty, I despise villages, but there's something about this village that makes me want to protect it." Said Nanashi

Tsunade sat down, thinking over his plan. "What do you want me to do?" She asked.

"Is there an area where civilians can hide?" questioned Nanashi.

"Yes." Was her reply.

"Ok, we're going to get some supplies ready in case they need to stay there for a while."

"But why do you need me?" Asked Hinata quietly.

"Hmm...Oh I'm sorry Hinata, what were you saying?" Asked Nanashi.

"Why do you need me?" Asked Hinata again.

"I could have chosen any person to do this," started Nanashi, "but what I need is someone to convince the Hyuuga to stay. Because it's such a large clan, if they decide to stay, the other clans will follow their example and stay to fight."

"Ok, so what's the plan Nanashi?" asked Tsunade.

"To start off, we need to start storing supplies in a secure location where the civilians can hide during the attack. I will stay with Hinata so I can help her with convincing her family to stay. We also need to set up a ninjutsu barrier to stall for time. When we start making the we need to cut off the other villages and say we have some issues to work out so they don't suspect anything's up, and as we get the barrier up, we need to start evacuating the villagers. Until that time we need to act as if nothing is wrong. When the sound invades we need to be ready."

"I can get the villagers to get the supplies ready right away." Said Tsunade, getting up out of her chair.

Nanashi nodded, "Good, we need all the time we can get, but let's alert the village before we start getting everything together. Regardless of if we're able to convince them or not, we can flee the village so no one gets hurt."

"Understood." Said Tsunade, already making preparations of her own.

"Alright then. Hinata, you're coming with me."

"Okay."

The pair was walking down the street towards the Hyuuga mansion. Hinata kept glancing over at Nanahi. He looks soo much like Naruto... She thought. Nanashi turned to see the Hyuuga heiress staring at him. He laughed out loud and asked Hinata, "What is it? Do I have something on my face?"

Stepping away from him she turned her head away from him, blushing. Blushing? Thought Hinata, I thought I got rid of that when Naruto died. Why am I blushing about this stranger? Then she stuttered as she said, "A-ano Nanashi, it's j-just that y-you remind me s-so m-much like N-Naruto-kun." Crap! I'm stuttering again! Why is this happening!?

Naruto-kun? Thought Nanashi. Snapping his fingers, Nanashi said, "Oh yeah right! That boy you mistook me for before. So who is he? Your boyfriend?"

Hinata blushed even more at the thought of her seemingly lifelong crush. "N-no," she said, "N-naruto-kun died ten y-years ago."

A shocked Nanashi asked, "Why?"

Tears came at the corner of her eyes, recalling his brutal execution. "They executed him right before my eyes, for crimes he never commited."

Nanashi looked down, "Oh..."

Hinata was now crying, tears streaming from her pale eyes as she said, "I-I l-loved him, and the w-worst part is he n-never knew how I felt. I n-never even g-got to say a g-g-goodbye."

She was sobbing hard, hands covering her face. Nanashi looked around to notice they were getting a few stares from some people passing by. He didn't know what to do, considering how he's never interacted with a girl who was crying. She feels so passionately about this boy. He thought, But what can I do? Contemplating with himself he realized the was only one possible way to calm her down. As a final act of desperation, he hugged her. Hinata, surprised by the act of this man she just only twenty minutes ago met, stopped.I barely know him, but for some reason, I feel, like he took away all of my pain, like everything's going to be all right. I've never felt this way before, not even when I was dating Kiba or Shino (AN: But don't worry everyone, this will not turn into a NanaHina, KibaHina, or ShinoHina fic, just read on.)Nanashi looked down to see that Hinata stopped crying. Hinata looked up to him and asked, "What was that for?"

He pulled away from her and shrugged, "I've never really talked with girls much, so I wasn't sure what to do, but apparently that worked."

"Why?"

"So you would stop crying." Was his response.

"No, I mean why haven't you never talked with girls?"

"Oh..." He stated

Hinata shook her head, "Forget it, it was a stupid question."

"No." said Nanashi, "Since you asked, you should know." Pointing over to a bench, he said, "Come on, let's sit down."

The two sat down, then Nanashi started, "It all started before I was born. The Dokaitesei clan was powerful and prestigious. We owned a large amount of the land between the rock and cloud villages. It wasn't a little after I was born things got worse. A tyrant in a hostile takeover took our village, killing most of the members of my clan." He cringed as he said, "My mother was able to make it near the leaf boundary where she was killed. The village later became the village hidden in the sound."

"Oh my." Said Hinata.

Nanashi started tearing up as he said, "I was just lying there, protected and trapped by my mother's dead body, as I couldn't move. I was losing blood because when my mother falled I got cut up in so many parts of my face A couple of days passed when a ninja from the village in the clouds took me to live with him. There I lived until I was old enough to leave, taking a few supplies. During the time I left I trained under a ninja who kept me in secret, rarely allowing me to set foot outside his land's boundaries. When I learned enough, I infiltrated the village in the sound and learned their plan to reinvade the leaf. So I left and came here, where I now met you."

Hinata was crying as well as Nanashi after hearing his sad tale. Wiping the tears from his eyes, he got up and said, "Now c'mon, let's go convince some Hyuugas to stay and fight."

"What do you mean 'no'!?" Asked Hinata a little louder than usual. The two were sitting in front of the Hyuuga head, Hiashi Hyuuga. He was short, sweet, and to the point.

"I mean no because I refuse to believe that a foreign person comes into my household, followed by my worthless daughter, to say that a village I've never even heard of is invading, and I should stay and fight. Why? Because it seems like an evil plot to get me killed so you could take over as heir and ruin this clan."

"But father..."

"Don't you 'but father' me young lady! You are a disgrace to this clan. If it wasn't the Hokage's orders to keep you under my protection I would have thrown you out years ago."

Nanashi stood up, "Now Hyuuga-san this is not a plot to get rid of you! We are telling the absolute truth when we say the sound is invading, and we need you and your clan to stay in fight otherwise we're all goners!"

Hiashi turned his head away in disgust. "If what you say is true," He started, "I might as well do the complete opposite and leave while we still have our lives."

Both Hinata and Nanashi bowed to the ground and said in unison, "Please Hyuuga-sama!!!"

"No." He said.

Nanashi was getting irritated. It was one thing to reject something, but to act so childish while doing it? "How can we prove to you that you need to stay and fight?"

Hiashi looked at him and said quite calmly, "When you can find me a successful heir to this noble clan then maybe I'll consider it."

Nanashi pondered for a moment. "You have a deal." Said Nanashi.

Hinata looked at him with a surprised expression as she said, "What!?"

Hiashi as well was surprised and said, "What!?" as well.

Hinata nudged him and said, "Are you sure?"

He crossed his arms and nodded, "Absolutely certain of it."

"What are the terms?" Hiashi asked.

"I will train Hinata in genjutsu resilience, ninjutsu, and taijutsu in a week." Nanashi said, "If she is able to prove herself by then, then you have to stay with the rest of the Hyuugas and fight the battle."

"And if she isn't able to prove herself?" questioned Hiashi.

"You and any other Hyuuga that wants to leave will be allowed to leave."

Hiashi thought this over, hand on his chin. It was a win-win situation, He would either get a strong heir, or leave this pathetic village and watch it get distroyed by this so called 'sound village'.

"I accept." He said, "But you have exactly one week, starting tomorrow at dawn."

Nanashi bowed saying, "Thank you Hyuuga-sama, you won't be disappointed."

"For your sakes you better hope so."

Getting up, Nanashi extended his hand to Hinata, who accepted as he pulled her up.

"Okay Hinata, tomorrow morning, training field seven be there, so we can get started." He said.

Hinata replied with a, "Hai."

"Good. So until then" He said again, pulling Hinata into a warm embrace. Letting go, he let saying, "I'll see you then, but I've got to go! Bye!" He then ran out waving to her.

Hiashi sat there looking at the scene that unfolded before him. Closing his eyes he said, "You know, if that Kyuubi brat you liked didn't die, I would've mistaken him for a clone."

Hinata turned to her father, and after ten years of being depressed, smiled a true happiness smile. "Yeah, that's what I said."

Later that night, Hinata slept peacefully after what seemed like an eternity of having nightmares and unpleasant sleep, dreaming of this blonde-haired ninja that came into her life today.

AN: So what'd you think? I will state it again so you guys set this: It is not An OCHina fic, and Sasuke is not happy with his relationship with Sakura, and would much rather be emo. So until then!

EDIT: I know that Hinata's father's name is Hiashi not Hizashi. It's just document manager won't let me upload any of my files and it pissed me off so much I just wanted to get this chapter out, because i would've had it out by thursday if I could have. So sorry for anyone who was confused!
