Warriors of Legend
An Apocalyps24 story
Chapter 10
It had been 16 weeks since Haku had joined team seven and although reluctant to do so their routine had returned to a semblance of normal. Their days consisted mostly of doing one or two D rank missions and occasionally an in village C rank.
After completing their daily missions Kakashi would put them through an incredibly tough training regime that he had come up with so that he would not have to live through another team-mate dying.
The person who suffered the most though was surprisingly Sasuke who could not come to terms with the fact that he had felt nothing for the death of his team-mate, this feeling of nothing had had such a profound effect on him he had tried to commit suicide, and to his utter horror even then when he laid dying he felt nothing no fear, no hate, no pain… just emptiness… and this scared him. Fear… he could still feel fear but no other emotion stirred within him… and fear only of the fact that he felt nothing and this fear ate away at Sasuke's sanity… for what is a man without feelings? He is a nothing and Sasuke could not be a nothing he refused to be a nothing, but what was there that he could do to fill this emptiness, this nothingness… he had at the time decided that if he could not feel he could not exist so he had tried to kill himself in hope of maybe feeling the release of death and be rid of the nothingness, but alas he had failed for as he lay dying an ANBU who had been sent to get for a meeting with the Hokage had found him and rushed him to the hospital where they fixed him right back up…
So now he just existed… an empty nothingness that wished to be killed - but they would not fulfil his wish - so he just existed, completely and utterly empty…
Haku was an interesting case, for as much as she wanted to deny it the rest of team seven were growing on her and regardless of her best efforts she was really starting to enjoy herself and getting to like her new life… especially spending time with Naruto. She still however harboured her dark feeling for her new team leader Kakashi… she would bide her time for now.
Now Naruto being who he was, had learnt to deal with the death of friends in private, had quickly returned to wearing his happy mask in public… on a lighter note after the night he spent with Hinata they had become a couple, and had been on several dates, and one had to say it was going well.
Currently the three gennin members of Team-Seven were standing at the bridge that led to their regular training ground waiting for their wayward sensei. It was now 8am and they had been waiting for Kakashi for an hour now and were expecting him to turn up any second now, for you see after the death of Sakura he had reduced his tendency to be late from four hours too one hour. Which Naruto thought was at least one positive thing that came out of the whole tragedy.
Speak of the devil it was at this point that Kakashi shunshined in and greeted them.
"Good morning you three." Came his greeting
"Good morning Sensei" came the reply from his three students…
"Having thought long and hard about the progress we have made in the last three and a half months I have decided to enter you into the chunin exams!" Kakashi exclaimed.
"You think we are ready? Especially after what happened to Sakura?" this came from Naruto who was having a hard time believing that they were going to be entered into the exams. Haku also shared this opinion although she chose not to voice it… she had 'found' out about what happened to Sakura after two months of being on the team when Naruto had opened up to her having got to know her over time.
"Hn" was all that came from Sasuke.
"You have all put allot of work into becoming a team and despite the difficulties you have succeeded, strength wise you are also all ready so all I can do is give you these forms and tell you to make your own decision, for I believe you are ready." Was all Kakashi had to say on the matter of being nominated.
"Now; if you choose to participate be at room 302 at the academy tomorrow at noon"
"'K ill be there" were Narutos and Hakus reply
"Hn"… well u can guess where that came from.

Hinata stood having just had a bath nakedly in front of the mirror in her room holding a hand over her stomach and thanked whichever god that was looking over here that
a) All private rooms in the Hyuga compound had seals on them preventing the walls from being seen through.
b) That it was illegal to use the Byakugan within the walls of the compound.
For if someone were to look at the 13 year old Hyuga while having the Byakugan active they would have noticed that not all was right with her.
She had known what was wrong with her by the second week of being sick, for they had been taught all the symptoms of her condition during the academy as part of the Kunoichi only classes. At first she had been in denial as to her condition believing that such a thing could not possible happen to her, she knew that it wasn't uncommon for young Kunoichi to get pregnant… in fact it happened quite regularly, but I mean she had not even had her first period yet! So how could this be happening to her? But after two weeks of constantly being sick she had used a henge to disguise herself and gone to buy a pregnancy test… it had taken her three days to work the courage up to actually use the test and when it turned out positive she promptly fainted…
That had been eight weeks ago, and she had up until now been able to hide the fact that she was indeed pregnant… it had been relatively easy as physically the condition did not show, now however she was in her forth month of pregnancy and the baby was starting to show as evident by the baby bump she had her hands on now.
She new she had to make a decision soon for if she was caught with child outside of wedlock they would first take her child from her and then have her executed, for that was the law within the Hyuga clan. So she had to decide whether or not she would keep the baby and if so how to go about doing so without getting herself killed.
Discovering her pregnancy had fundamentally changed the girl for she new the moment that she found out that it was her against the world and there was no help on the way.
She could if she wanted to self abort for that was also something they taught at the academy (in case pregnancy occurs due to a) mission parameters b) being raped). However much this knowledge of being pregnant changed her it did not change her heart and she was having trouble making a decision knowing that the life of another person rested in her hands (she considered the baby growing inside her a person).
After many hours of standing there contemplating she came to the decision that she would ask her now boyfriend of three months for advise… for she new without a doubt that Naruto would support any decision she would make, how she knew this she did not know, but she was confidant that he would support her.
So after coming to this conclusion she set about getting dressed…
She was just about to put on her bra, after first donning her panties and baggie trousers, when suddenly there came a knock on her door…
-
Hyuga Neji was annoyed he had had to interrupt his training to go get in his opinion worthless cousin from her room to summon her to the front door where her team was now waiting… so without much thought he knocked on her door and then without waiting for a reply entered…
-
… Hinata looked up from choosing an appropriate bra just as the door swung open and Neji stepped a patented Hyuga glare on his face which promptly disappeared as soon as he saw her state of dress or more precisely her state of undress. At first all he could do was stare at here breasts for such perfection he had never seen (even if it is his own cousin) but then slowly his eyes moved down her body to her slightly round stomach at which he frowned…
Meanwhile Hinata was to busy starting to panic about the fact that Neji had seen here tummy to even notice that she did not have a bra on.
"H..h..hinata-sama your w..wanted at the front gate; your team is waiting." Neji managed to stammer out.
With the momentary distraction of Neji stammering Hinata threw her bra on (not literally she just put it on very quickly) and quickly grabbed her shirt and jacket and ran out of the room hurriedly while bulling her shirt over her head.
-
Meanwhile Neji was having a hard time processing what he had seen; Hinata was fat? No that cant be it he had seen Hinata train and also know that she did not eat very much, so how come did she have a "rounder" than usual belly. Now some of you may be wondering why he thinking of her stomach, and not her rather perfect breasts, well its quite simple you see, although its not uncommon for cousins to marry he wasn't into incest, so Hinata's breasts were a big no go, so he had rid himself of those thoughts asap, no matter how perfect they were.
So back to wondering why Hinata seemed to be fat…

Day of Chunin Exams:
Naruto was just walking to Ichiraku Ramen when he noticed a square box coloured as a stone following behind him and couldn't help but laugh.
"Kono-kun you are aware that stones are not square."
"Blast he spotted us… tactical retreat, fall back, fall back!" was all he got as a response as the square looking 'stone' scuttled away.
'Kids these days…play way to many computer games cha… ohh that reminds me my Xbox 360 should be arriving back from repair today… time to play some Halo3 muahahahahahahahaha'… … … … were Narutos thoughts… … … …
Anyways back to the story…
Arriving at Ichiraku's he sat down in his favourite seat and ordered a nice big bowl of Miso Ramen.
Just as he was about to dig in Hinata came through the flaps and into the stand.
"Ummm Naruto... Naruto-kun I need to talk too you!" said Hinata in a deceptively calm voice.
"Hinata-chan sit down and we can talk" Naruto replied
"Ummmm its important can we talk somewhere private"
"Umm sure Hinata lets go outside behind the stand... is that private enough?" he inquired.
"Yes"
Naruto got up from his bowl of ramen and called out
"OLD MAN IM GOING OUT BACK TO TALK TO HINATA ILL BE RIGHT BACK"
"OK NARUTO ILL KEEP YOUR BOWL WARM"
---
Now standing behind the ranem stand Naruto leaned down and gave Hinata a small kiss before asking
"So what was it you wanted to talk about Hina-chan"
Deciding that the best way to get it over with was just to blurt it out…
"I'm… I'm… I'm Pregnant"…
