Welcome everyone. I'm glad you're reading this story.
Decided I was sick of seeing Hinata be so meek and getting run over so I created a version of her that would take revenge on her tormentors.
Enjoy! :)
Partly inspired to write this by: Forsaken by David Dramian of Disturbed
(Part of the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack which is the best vampire movie ever. Better even than twilight. And I love twilight a whole lot. The book is 10 times better than the movie QofD though.)
Summary: People can only bend so far before they break. When the people she loves finally succeed in breaking Hinata, She moves away. When she comes back, Will the people of Konoha be able to survive the monster they have created?
You know what they say...
The Brighter the Light, the Darker the Shadow
Lord Haruno stared down at the rice wine swirling lightly in his glass. Now he was not an easy man to intimidate, nor was he a man quick to shake in his boots at any confrontation.
Being very wealthy, surrounded by bodyguards, and being involved in highly dangerous small drug deals with dangerous people whenever it suited him, added to the small pistol he always carried on his person, insured this. His good friend Hiashi Hyuuga at his absolute worst barely caused a tremble.
There were few men that he was subservient to because of their danger and power levels. These men included Fugaku Uchiha, Pein, Madara Uchiha, Minato Nazimake, and Itachi Uchiha at his worst. They were cruel monsters, the thing nightmares were made of. Minato may have hid it the best but when he's mad...
However, looking at the girl near his daughter's age, he may have just found the thing that made even monsters piss themselves and run away screaming in fear. His list had just increased by one.
He hadn't felt her power yet so maybe that's not what made her dangerous. Or maybe that's exactly what made her so dangerous. Could she be compressing her chakra so fiercely? Enough that it seems that it there is nothing or that it's weak enough to escape attention?
Yet there was such a feeling of oppression surrounding her, as if her presence filled the room and no mere mortal would be able to bore it. He could already tell from her manner that she didn't feel threatened by him in the least. If she had, he would be dead.
"No need for alarm. I just want some information that sources tell me you have." She had said.
He shivered as her pleasing voice washed over him and he stared at the demon hidden behind a mask of sensual beauty.
His instincts screamed Predator! Goddess! Bow! Pray for Mercy!
He knew she had caught his shudder as she chuckled darkly.
"Are you afraid of me, Lord Haruno?" She purred, reminding him of a satisfied jungle cat.
"No need. Give me what I want and you'll survive this encounter." She said lightly.
This only reconfirmed his theory that she could kill him any time she wanted to and was being merciful so far.
Where was the girl, the meek, timid, girl his daughter and Hiashi had said Hinata was?
And when had this powerful being come into play?
He fancied himself a very intelligent man, so he knew when to give up and surrender to a higher power.
He bowed his head. He just prayed that the world would know when to surrender also.
He had a feeling that this...Goddess, this demon, this Messiah would usher in a new era.
Whether it was one of darkness and terror or enlightened peace was not yet known.
He was determined that the new Era would be one of never ending glorious peace.
He would give up anything, his freedom, his money, his information, his allegiance, to see that happen.
Lord Haruno stood up and got on one knee, bowing low. He looked up, a faint fanatical gleam already present in his eyes, at the person he would serve in her goal, whatever it was.
"You may have whatever you wish. All the Information you need, my money, my connections, my Allegiance. I have a feeling you will bring in a new era and I want to witness it."
Hinata stared down at him, the all-knowing and blank amusement present on her face as she praised him.
"Smart man, Tadao. Let's hope you were named "loyal man" accurately. I don't accept deserters."
"Rise now. You will help me. You can start by telling me all you know about the Underworld, The Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and Akio Jiang."
The Royals sat by Hiashi's bedside. A personal doctor had come and done an emergency surgery, saving his life. Unfortunately, the scars from the ordeal would remain forever. They had offered to stay there and attend to his needs and skip the Sand party. However, Hiashi disagreed.
"The Sand Party tonight is no ordinary costume party. It is a revel celebrating the life of Akio Jiang, a close friend of the Sand Family. As this is the first Revel you are attending, it is a once in a lifetime chance."
"What is a Revel exactly?" Neji asked
Hiashi's gaze traveled past them, into some distant memory.
"A time when you can live out your darkest desires. There is no need for falseness or chasteness. You are unmasked and free to just let go of all your inhibitions. Free to let go of human ideals and exist on with the core needs and feelings. Lust. Rage. Love. Territory. Survival. When you recognize who is predator and who is prey."
"It is usually only thrown to celebrate the life of the head of whatever family once they have passed away and hosted by some close family friend. It is also to celebrate the coming of some great change."
The Royals eyes gleamed with interest as they imagined how liberating it would to only exist by the rules animals lived by every day.
"Go. And remember, do not antagonize Hinata. Leave her be."
"Why?" Temari asked. "What was the warning about earlier?"
Hiashi's gaze traveled past the again, this time in remembered horror and resigned subservience.
"...Hinata..."
"Hinata... is something else. She's highly dangerous. Very Very dangerous. Do not get in her way. You will not be able to stand against her. She has many powerful people on her side. Combine that with her own power and ideals and she is nearly impossible to stop."
"What do you mean? Yeah, she is a lot scarier than she was before, and more bold, but I highly doubt she's powerful enough to stop all of us if we wanted to take her. One of us could take her before she left and we are 10 times as powerful as we were then," Naruto said.
Hiashi just shook his head slowly.
"A lot can change in 3 years. I wish I had remembered that. Just...leave it be. Let her do whatever she wants and leave it. Please? For me?" Hiashi begged.
The Royals all agreed but were shocked, Neji and Hanabi the most.
Hiashi Hyuuga never begged for anything.
What did Hinata do to him that was so bad?
Hiashi sighed. "Get Ready and dressed in your costumes. The revel will be in a couple hours."
They complied with his wishes and left to get dressed and think over all they had learned.
Hiashi stared at the ceiling as he went over the ultimatum he was given by Hinata.
Join and obey me and experience a new era or watch as your beloved daughter and her friends are slaughtered and left in my wake. I could use you.
This Revolution will happen. It all depends on you whether you and your spawn will be there to see it.
Kohona's Live 5 news stood and reported as the aristocratic families arrived at the Sand Mansion.
"A rare event" They said
"Only the most powerful families invited" They said
And they were right.
To get into a revel was very exclusive, and only those invited knew what really went on there. Only the oldest families were allowed to come, decked out in all sort of fantastic costumes. Limos lined up for a mile in every direction, occupants stepped out to strut to the entrance in suits of armor made of gold, geisha dresses made out of only the finest silk. When there was a revel, the wealthy spared no expense.
This red carpet like event was what the royals arrived to. They were dressed as mythical characters from Japanese mythology.
Ino was dressed as a Doji, a spirit almost like an Angel, a servant of God in western religion. With two large white wings made of hundreds of dove feathers, a short white kimono, a pure gold Halo made specifically for her, her blond hair and bright blue eyes, she certainly looked the part.
Naruto was dressed as the Kyubbi, a legendary 9 tailed fox demon. His bright blue eyes were covered by blood red contacts and his robes were a masterful mix of many reds, and oranges created the effect of fire. 9 tails were mechanically attached to the robes and they flowed in the wind.
Temari was dressed as Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess. She wore her blond hair out and it flowed down her back. Her robes was made of the finest silk and her staff was made out of pure imported oak with a large emerald on top.
Shikamaru dressed as a mischievous monk, or Yadokai. Beads wrapped around his hands, and he wore a top of the line blue dress robe from Japan's biggest designer.
Sakura was a Yosei, similar to the western fairy. She wore upturned shoes, a short dress from China's top designer, and her bright pink hair and dark green eyes complemented the ensemble.
Sasuke dressed as Shinigami, or the Japanese grim reaper. Pitch black robes, dark eyes ready to turn blood red at a moment's notice, black hair, and the specially made reaper made a great impersonation.
TenTen dressed like Harionago, a monster woman with barbed hair. Needles with hair wrapped around them stood upright on her head artistically. She left the rest of her extremely long hair down and her kimono hid various other weapons.
Neji dressed like an Enenra, or a smoke demon. A white tailored robe washed out his complexion. Paired with his dark hair and white eyes, he could very well have fit in.
Hanabi dressed like a Tennin, or something like a nymph, she wore a very bright colored, very short dress made of silk and wore a lotus in her dark hair. She carried a specially made wooden flute.
Kiba dressed like a Yama-bito, or a wild mountain person. He wore a lion cloth made out of actual lion pelt and nothing else, showing his sculpted body off. Fake hair covered him lightly, making him resemble some kind of wolf-man.
They were ready. They didn't know if they would be predator or prey but they were prepared to find out.
"Let the festivities begin" Hanabi said as they walked through the double doors to see what awaited them inside.
The interior had been amazing. Lights hung everywhere, and people danced around in flashing disco lights. Everyone was announced as they entered the party so all knew who had been invited and who hadn't.
The guests of honor, Gaara and Kankuro Sabaku, who were hosting the revel, and Hinata and Shino Jiang could not enter until midnight.
One of the hosts and one of the relatives of the deceased would say a short speech to open the party up. Then the revel could really begin.
Everyone waited with baited breath to see what fantastic costumes the GoH would appear in. The non-speakers would appear first and walk up the winding staircase to the balcony overlooking the party hall.

The doors slammed open and Shino and Kankuro walked out side by side.
They were dressed as objects of western fantasy.
Kankuro dressed as a devil in a bright red body suit, "red" metal pitch fork, and real dyed red horns attached to his head. His makeup accented certain areas of his face making him looking malicious.
Shino dressed as Greek god Zeus. Powerful brown eyes stared out of a pale but handsome face. He wore a pure white toga with a pure gold crown on his head and bright yellow lightning bolt in his hand that occasionally shot out sparks.
The speakers filed out next, both excluding a dark sensuality.
Gaara dressed as the Vampire Lestat from his favorite western fiction book Queen of the Damned. His hair stood flaming on his head, dark green eyes capturing the crowd. He wore a green, loose pirate's shirt exposing his smooth chest and tight leather pants.
Hinata represented the Vampire Queen Akasha. She was splendid in her costume covered in many precious jewels. Her hair spread down her back and a crown made of pure silver and gold and covered with emeralds and rubies stood high on her head. Everything was made of the same silver/gold mix and was bejeweled with every jewel possible. A huge neck piece covered her beck and led to a bustier that wrapped around her breasts, so well fitting they seemed painted on. Her entire torso was exposed. A floor length skirt split up both sides and wrist coverings completed the ensemble. She also had an emerald snake wrapped around her left bicep.
The room was silent as they took in the magnificent and intimidating foursome.
When they reached the balcony, Shino and Kankuro sat down in the two of the three comfortable looking chairs that were there. Gaara stepped up to the mike, Hinata standing beside him.
"Welcome" His deep voice said. The images it brought up were of dark chocolate and nights of debauchery.
"We are to celebrate the life of Akio Jiang, A great and generous man. He will be remembered always. He loved everyone, was loved by everyone, and only wanted the best for the land. Instead he was murdered stupidly and without cause. We must remember he was a happy man, and would not want us to mourn him. He lived for parties and was at every revel. Remember him tonight as you party and live out your dreams."
He sat down in the only available comfy chair to the cheers of the people below as he, Shino, and Kankuro exchanged glances and gripped the arms of their chairs as they prepared themselves for Hinata's speech.
The crowd went silent as Hinata raised a graceful hand, wrist guard glittering in the changing light.
She began to speak.
"Akio was my father in every way but blood and someone took him from me. Took him from us. He was a generous and fun loving man that greatly valued his privacy and loved my mother. Someone took her light from us also. They were a perfect match, those two."
Her voice was soft and reminiscing.
"He had a dream also. One he was working on. He wanted a world of peace. Where the government wasn't corrupt and everyone was treated equally. He was going to run for Fire Lord, put in new rules to make his vision come true."
"Imagine this. A world where your opinion was valued and not just because of how much money you were paying. Where everyone was equal, but only intelligent people would govern, limiting mistakes. These was no civil wars because there was no reason to fight. People who knew how to manage money did and there was no stealing. Crime didn't exist. There was no rape, no murders. Imagine that, and you have a small scale of his worldwide vision."
Hinata wove a hypnotizing tale. There would be no unnecessary death, they could trust their government would listen to them, they were free to have opinions. There heritage, their money, their legacy would be forever reserved and they would have a golden age of prosperity.
Her voice turned powerful, harsh and grating, grieved but sultry, raising in volume level.
"But someone didn't want this to happen. They liked the world the way it was now and they took him from us. He believed the best in everyone, he never would have suspected someone of trying to stop a golden age. Never imagined that someone would want corruptness. My father tried to bring in a new era. Tried to help us coexist side by side with the common people peacefully. A Perfect World!"
"I will make my father's dream come true. I will help usher in a New Era. He loved the world so much that he gave his life in the end. I will respect his wish and see that it happens. Help me! He only wanted the best, only wanted for people to live without terror polluting their emotions."
She released the hold on her chakra and let it flood the room, driving weaker people to their knees and sending the stronger ones stumbling. An oppressive force permeated the room. Gaara, Shino, and Kankuro gripped the arms of the chairs tighter and gritted their teeth, waiting for the effect to pass. The Royals stumbled slightly, feeling like they should be on their knees.
Was this power Hinata's?
How had they never noticed before the feeling that always surrounded her?
Hinata stood still, loving the feeling of her chakra flowing through her freely. She raised her hands as she closed out her speech and hid her power again.
"Revel tonight, manifest all of your darkest desires, and celebrate the life of a man concerned only with the welfare of his people. Celebrate taking off the mask you wear and live only guided by your instincts. Celebrate the joining of the families in this cause."
"Join me as we bring in a New Era of Peace and see my father's dream of a Perfect World come to life!"
"Let the Festivities Begin!"
Spectators below silently stared in awe at the charismatic woman before them before cheering wildly and celebrating in the name of Akio Jiang.
Read and Review. Thanks!
A little Background: In this reality, they have chakra, and they use it in techniques but they never call out names or have to use hand seals to channel it. It is all mental and physical. The natural make up of their body and DNA allow them it use themselves as a conduit for chakra. They are also taught in training to never call out their techniques as it alerts their opponents to what they are about to use in a fight. Ninjas are primarily used as assassins and rarely do escort jobs. There are NO NINJA VILLAGES.
They are organized as an Oligarchy/Capitalist Republic/a little bit of democracy where the people could vote for their leaders with The Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water Lords working together and ruling over the various "cities" in the land, or what would be villages in the normal Naruto world. Only people of powerful and very wealthy Families, essentially, the Nobles, could run for office. This Society is very dark and convoluted with organization such as Akatsuki, led by Pein, Orchimaru and his people, and various other high powered Drug Lords ruling over the Underworld.
The government is very corrupt and poor people are NOT treated well. Lord Jiang was trying to change this starting with the people of Fire where Konoha resides. He was a major Drug Lord but he used some of his money to start charities and funds to help the common people. He wanted to start a revolution and get non corrupt people who generally cared about the people but would overlook his shadier dealings as the Earth, Water, and Wind Lords and himself as The Fire Lord. He was about to appear before the people and re-introduce himself and his family to the public and run for the position but he was killed before he could.
Hinata always admired his goal, and plans to avenge his murder and see that his dream of a peace filled land, and a non-corrupt government happen just like he wanted it to.
ALSO, THERE IS NO KYUBBI or DEMONS EXCEPT FOR THE HUMAN KIND! IT IS JUST AN URBAN LEGEND!
AN: This political structure will get more fleshed out as the story goes on. This is just for background purposes until we get to that arc.
