Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
AN: Seems everyone hates Hinata in this fic, GOOD because you haven't seen anything yet. Oh yeah sorry for taking so damn long, I had something planned then the manga completely ruined that (was going to take out rain). So after thinking and thinking I finally said whatever and had the time skip in this chapter.
ShrapnelMan: I didn't want to confirm it in that chapter but I knew people would guess so it's fine. You will have to wait to see what happens between the two, I have something cool planned.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Chapter 11: War and Peace
Naruto and his team are in an odd place for an ANBU team. He would not be surprised if they were the first ever. Normally ANBU does not stay in a hotel room. Temari had disguised herself and gotten two rooms, giving one to them. Worst part is that they will be staying here for two days before resuming the mission. He sent a letter via messenger toad and was waiting for a reply from Jiraiya. He didn't have to wait long as a pop, the telltale sing of summon coming into this world was heard.
He grabbed the scroll from the toads' mouth and it went back to its own world. After opening the scroll he looked at it and it read "Because of the nature of this mission only remove your mask, speak or use your signature Jutsu if you must. You are being sent to Iwagakure no Sato with a Suna team so that they can sign a cease fire agreement. So if someone discovers your identity abandon the mission and return to Konoha."
"Hey guys, we should go to the Hot Springs bath while were here. We are going to be here for a few days so we might as well relax a bit, we are going to Iwa after all. Make sure you're not noticed by the Suna team. Even if they do see you they won't know who you are. Hinata, remember to disguise your eyes." They found it hard to argue with that logic so off they went.
Hot springs (girl's side)
Tenten was just about to open the door to enter the bathing area of the Hot Springs. Hinata had already entered but she had decided to setup a few small traps on her cloths, better safe than sorry.
When she was out the door she spotted Hinata with her Byakugan active, slightly red in the face. Tenten could hear Naruto and Lee being as loud as ever behind the wall that separated the two areas. Putting the two things together she could only come to one conclusion. Hinata was peeping on them.
Tenten then got into the water and moved over to where the Hyuuga was. When she was close she noticed her Byakugan was now off. Still Tenten had to ask! "You were peeking at them weren't you?" she asked in a playful tone.
"No, I was not peeking at them." Hinata replied with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Were you watching the area?" Tenten asked, trying to start a friendly conversation.
She thought she might be finally getting to have a girl talk when Hinata asked "Do you have any feelings for Naruto-sama?"
"Naruto? Hmm, he's a good person, an even better ninja, he also has decent looks. I can't say that I have any really strong feelings for him though. My family has requested an arranged marriage for the both of us. Weather he accepts is another issue. I hope he does though, we would be able to become an official clan, and he will also be able to help us create weapons with abilities, which is getting rare." Tenten said, hopping to become friends with the girl. In a few seconds she will know how impossible that will be.
"So you want to marry him only for the benefit of you and your family, not even caring about what he needs? I think you should stay away from him you whore. You're not worthy of being with him, besides you would be useless as his wife." Hinata Said in a low voice.
"I would be useless? You Hyuuga do the same thing so how could you call me a whore for it? What the hell could your family of slaves give him?" Tenten said.
Now Tenten is a nice person, and would usually never let mere words get her angry. No, never has she gotten very angry over words, but what Hinata said were not mere words they were Fighting Words!
Fortunately or unfortunately depending of your views, before anything could start the door opened and Temari stepped out. The Suna kunoichi could feel the tension in the air.
Because of the new arrival and the fact she had no intentions of telling the girl, she answered the question in her head. 'I can give children unlike you. No matter how many people that come attached to a marriage, he will never be satisfied until he has true blood related family members. Even if he does marry you I doubt that the village would allow his bloodline to die because you can't have children, so another woman will have to do so. When that happens I will be the one who does and then he will leave you because of it! No matter what it takes I will be the one that ends up with him.'
The Mission to end the war was simple and ended without any problems, many people around the elemental countries celebrated the end of the war, happened it ended before things got out of hand. If only these people knew that some people were not happy with the way it ended. Most of the people felt that way because they felt things were not settled. However one individual would miss the constant battles. This person's thirst for battle will in time cause others to react.
Truly Havoc and the insanity that follows him will make things get out of hand.
Fortunately for the peace loving people things will take a few years and a few incidents before that happens. Now let us move forward in time, closer to that point.
4 Years Later: Konoha Hospital
Uzumaki Naruto was enjoying the happiest moment of his life. It had taking a long time to get to this point. His wife, Tenten had just had the first of what he hoped would be many children. A baby boy he named Minato, after his father. He looked over to his wife who was holding the child and though back when she almost didn't make it back from a mission he couldn't join her on, even though she returned from the mission, Hinata died, his temporary replacement died, and Lee was badly wounded.
FLASHBACK --------
Naruto knew Lee was hardly in any condition to answer question, and even if he was completely fine, the mission was classified. The blond could care less about shit like that, the first mission he missed, because he was in talks with Tenten's family had gone horribly wrong, 2 were dead and 2 wounded. 'I asked her not to go.'
"Lee, I need to know what happened. Who did this? Did they capture Hinata or did they kill her where she was? Where were you guys when it happened? How many of them? Do you know where they were from? Lee tell me, they hurt you and Tenten, they KILLED Hinata. Lee!" Naruto franticly said.
"They did-didn't cap her… she used… 2 scrolls… of notes... killed them all… with herself… other guy... stayed wit… stayed with her… to help." Lee said.
"Thanks Lee." Naruto said before leaving the room and going to the one Tenten was in. She was asleep, but her body was in better shape than Lee's. He sat next her bed and held her hand. They had been engaged for months and would be getting married soon. He didn't even want to think of her dying, he was happy she was one of the ones who came back, it's not that he wasn't sad for Hinata, because he was very said about her death.
Right after the singing of the treaty was signed Naruto started teaching fuuninjutsu to a large group of students. He didn't want to be the only one Konoha had using it on missions. His whole team had joined the class, Hinata was above average, Tenten was average, and Lee was kick out of class for yelling and doing pushups in the isle.
End Flashback
Thinking about Hinata made him think of when he first announced his engagement to Tenten
FLASHBACK --------
Because Tenten and her family agreed to join HIM rather him joining them, thus creating an Uzumaki clan he agreed to marry her. The fact that he liked her and that her family's interest were the same as his helped him in his decision. They had planned to keep it a secret until all the details were worked out, but they had to announce it soon because of the official end of the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and their two other teammates never returned from an A-Class mission.
Naruto was sitting on top of the Hokage Mountain, just thinking about everything when someone landed beside him. When he looks to see who it was he found his Hyuuga teammate.
"Why?" She asked him.
"Why what?" He responded.
"Why her? Why are you going to marry her? How could you marry someone who doesn't even love you? Why won't you even look at me even though I love you? They don't even want you, what they want is you bloodline limit, your fuuninjutsu, and your political power. They don't know anything about you and they never even looked at you before you graduated and now that you have something they want people are fighting over you. So, why, why would you choose someone like that?" Hinata said with tears running down her eyes.
"Hinata, I'm sure you're correct when you say she doesn't love me, but I know she feels something. I'm also sure that whatever she feels for me is nothing compared to what you feel for me. I know they only want what I have, and the power I could bring them. Most of them probably only seen me as 'that brat' before they knew who my father was as well. There is one thing you're forgetting Hinata, I want this. While I can't say I love her I do like her a lot. They may want what I have but they have things I want as well Hinata, this is not a one sided deal." Naruto said.
Seeing that she was about to say something Naruto cut her off. "You should give up on me. You're the Hyuuga heir, I'm sure there is someone else you will fall in love with."
"Give up? How could you of all people tell someone to give up?I'll never give up. I will never find someone else to love. If I can't be with you then I will never be with anyone." Hinata said the last part in a low voice, though it was loud enough for Naruto to hear.
Naruto stared at her for a few moments before getting up and walking in front of her. "Hinata now you're just making me feel bad. You're telling me if it's not with me you will never kiss, and remain a virgin until you die?" Naruto said with a joking tone.
"Yes, I'm serious." She replied.
Naruto then leaned in and kissed her. She was shocked for about 2 seconds before she wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss by putting her tong in his mouth. The kiss lasted for a minute, one that went far too fast for the girl.
"So that's how a kiss from someone who love you should feel, I'll remember it. I would have felt really bad if you went your entire life with a kiss for someone you loved, so think of it as a consolation prize. It's unfortunate that you won't find someone else as I won't help you with your other first. See you later Hinata!" He said before jumping off the mountain.
End Flashback
"Naruto, come and hold your son." Tenten said.
"Eh! Are you sure, he's like really small and stuff, I'm nervous." He said.
"You should be! He looks exactly like you so I'm sure he tough, you won't hurt him by holding him. I also can't believe I feel fine after this, having this bloodline limit is really cool, even though they won't let me go home yet." She said.
Right when Naruto was at her bed she look him in the eyes and said. "Naruto I love you so much, you know."
"Yes I know. I love you as well." He replied before quickly kissing her. 'This is definite a kiss from someone who loves you.'
"You've given me so much over the last few years, more than I even dreamed I could have. Marrying you was the best thing I could have done. The things you taught me and the things we did together, and now this child. Even if people outside of Konoha say those things about us and we have bounty over 600 million dollars on us, it is all worth it. Regardless of what happens in from now on I'll be at your side, even if one day you don't want me to be. Here is a gift from me." She said before handing him the baby.
"Tenten, I will never, ever not want you to be with me." He said before looking at his child. Naruto chuckled and thought that maybe his hair was some type of bloodline limit as well, seeing as the child had the early stages of his blond messing hair. He then looked at the baby's eyes to see if he got his blue eyes or his mothers brown eyes. Luckily his eyes were open for the moment and when Naruto saw the eyes he got stiff. 'Is my son blind? If so someone will have to... NO! This is, these are Hyuuga eyes! Did she cheat on me with a damn Hyuuga? Is this why she said if I don't want her to be with me anyone? No she has my bloodline limit now and the hair on this child hair, I'm definitely the father, but then HOW?'
"Naruto hand me the child and I will explain everything." Tenten said. After Naruto gave her the child back she didn't say anything.
"Tenten! Tell me what going on, whose child is that?" He said.
"The father of this child is Uzumaki Naruto. The mother is" She paused here not really wanting to say it but a look from Naruto made her continue. "The mother is Hyuuga Hinata."
"What? She died years ago how can she be the mother? Even if she was alive I still don't see how it's possible for you to have her child." He said.
"It's not that complicated Naruto. If you clear up two misunderstandings you will know exactly how it's possible. First one is Hinata is not dead. The suicide attack was done by a Kage Bunshin. The truth is Hinata sabotaged the mission so that she could complete a personal mission of hers." Tenten said.
"What she's alive? Where, and tell me the rest I'm getting annoyed and I want answers." He said.
"Most of you questions, where she is, what she has been doing, how I had her child, and why she would sabotage a mission will be answered with this." She started to do a hand seals, seconds later her black hair turned dark blue, her skin got lighter, and her eyes turned lavender. "I am Hyuuga Hinata."
"When? How?... Then where is my wife?" Confusion, anger, he didn't know what to do or what were the best question to ask.
"What do you mean, I am your wife. It was me you married three years ago, it was me you fell in love with. I am the one you taught all you family Jutsu to, I was the one who continued to go on missions when everyone else was scared because how you fight. I am the one who gave you a child the bitch could never give you." She yelled.
"Hinata tell me, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WIFE?" Naruto said and yelled.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN" Minato cried because of his father's yelling.
She still didn't say anything, opting to consol the baby instead. Once he was sleep she started to speak. "She is fine Naruto. I've kept her in an old ANBU holding facility. I knew this day would come, and knew if I killed her not even you would be able to keep me from prison or execution."
"What makes you think I won't have you punished for this? Do you know exactly what you did? This…" He stopped talking when she transformed back into Tenten. He knew why she did so, a nurse opened the door seconds later.
"Miss, there has been an emergency and we must return home. Could you inform the doctor for us?" Hinata said while looking like Tenten.
"I will do so Uzumaki-sama" The nurse said before leaving.
Hinata gathered some things before standing up and walking next to Naruto. He nodded to her and they all disappeared in a flash of yellow.
Uzumaki Clan Compound:
The compound for their clan was build where the Uchiha clan was. Since there was no more Uchiha around to claim the property Naruto bought it and after taking everything useful like scrolls and other things they tore down everything and built things to fit the needs of the new clan. It was like a mini village inside of Konoha.
On the edge of the property was a large store where the clan sold equipment and weapons. Weapons ranging from kunai, swords, and basic specials weapons and much more could be bought. Further in there was a few buildings that held classes where Naruto would teach Fuuinjutsu to paying students or someone on a recommendation.
They also taught Kenjutsu and tutored students who didn't have a clan backing on basic weapons and Jutsu.
They had plenty of training fields for the clan members could have easy access to a private area. The workshops where explosion tags, shock tags, sealing scrolls were created were located towards what could be described as the back of the compound. Next to that is the workshop where they made kunai, shuriken and other normal weapons and equipment.
In the center was the residential and office area of the compound. The homes were rather large that could fit one or two families in them. The office was a large traditional Japanese building, and it held things like records, the library and other documents. It was where the non smiths or ninja of the clan worked.
Naruto and Hinata was in their or rather his home. The three of them appeared in the room that was for the child. "Hinata tell me where I can find her." She sat the baby down in his crib then turned to Naruto. After summing a small frog, she had it spit out a scroll.
He opened the scroll and looked over it and shook his head. Tenten really was in an abandoned ANBU holding facility and has been since that mission. He then made 7 Kage Bunshin, 3 left the house and the other 4 went to the corners of the room.
Just as he was about leave the room Hinata said something. "You asked why I wouldn't be punished. That's because you would never take the mother from your child. The other reason is because no matter how much you don't want it to be true, I am the one you truly love, not her."
He stepped out of the room and glared then the four clones made a barrier inside of the room so she could not exit. A second later Naruto was gone in a flash.
Abandoned Anbu Holding Facility
It didn't take long to find the place where Tenten was held and he could see her sleep through the glass that kept her inside. He knew the rooms in this building suppressed chakra so there was no way for her to break the think glass. He was surprised and thankful that Hinata did not neglect her, she looked exactly like Hinata did when impersonating her. Well except that her hair was cut really low.
He went to the door of the cell and unlocked it before opening the door. The sound of the door work the girl from her sleep and Naruto received a blank stare from her. "I'm Sorry for not finding out sooner." He said.
Her eyes got wide in shock before she hopped off the bed and ran to him. "Naruto! Finally!" she said. Once she was out of the door he hugged her and said. "I know there is probably a ton things you want to do right now but first we must deal with your imposter." He said, a second later they disappeared in a flash of yellow.
Naruto's House:
When they appeared it was in Naruto's bedroom. "I called an emergency meeting, the elders, your mother, and the Godaime will be present. First we're going to have to change clothes." He then went to the closet and took 2 standard Konoha uniforms and two cloaks. After he handed he the clothes he started to change his.
"These are her clothes aren't they?" Tenten asked.
"Eh… Technically they are yours, that's a brand new uniform so it hasn't been worn yet. Normally I would have you wear something better but we don't have time." He said.
"Where exactly are we, does my family still live that compound." She asked.
"Ah! No, they all of the residential houses in this area. This is the old Uchiha compound, our clan lives and works in this area. How much do you know, did visit you much?" he said.
"She came at least once a month to give me supplies but she never really said anything to me. I don't even think I seen her personally in the last year." She said before going in the bathroom to dress in the uniform and the cloak. They were like the other cloak Naruto and Yondaime had except the ones they are wearing now had Uzumaki on the back.
"It was horrible, being in that room for years, eating the same stupid food for years, she forced me to shave my head every month or she would not bring supplies. I…" She was cut off her off by hugging her.
"Everything is fine now, after this meeting you'll be able to see your family and friends. You ready?" he said. He then made several hand seals behind her and when he was done he touched her head. Her hair started to rapidly grow until it reached her thighs. "Isn't this a bit too long?" she asked. "Ahh sorry, it's just…" 'It's just how I'm used to seeing it.' "Ready?" She nodded yes to his question and they were gone in a flash.
In the baby's room the barrier fell and 3 of the clones disappeared. "Change your clothes and come to the meeting room. Also transform into your true form." The clone said. She teleported to the bedroom where she changed into a Konoha uniform and a cloak, but she did not put on a vest. When she was done she teleported back to the baby's room, once she picked up Minato she was gone. Really they used Hiraishin far more than anyone should be using an S-Class Jutsu.
Uzumaki Meeting Room:
The meeting room looked more like a classroom, there was a desk where the elders and clan leaders sat, or who ever called the meeting. Then there were seats where the members sat, far more in numbers across from the first desk.
At the leaders table sat Naruto, Tenten, Jun a retired Jounin, Mei an older lady who made Katana, Hua who is Tenten's mother, Jiraiya the Godaime Hokage, and Hiashi, Hinata's father. The later five were waiting for Naruto to let them know why they were dragged into this meeting. A clone had shown up and told them it was an emergency.
They didn't have to wait long as a woman with baby in her arms walked into the room. "Hello Hokage-sama, Father." Hinata said before taking a seat in the front row.
Hiashi's eyes went why from seeing his daughter alive. Where the hell has she been, why didn't they tell him she was alive. Getting a better look at her only brought more questions, why was she dressed in the cloak the Uzumaki couple wore, and whose child is she holding.
The next person to speak was Tenten's mother. "Is that my grandson?" She then looked to her daughter. "And why are you out of the hospital already. After having a baby you should be lying down."
"Baby!? What are you talking abou… Naruto, you two have a baby?" Tenten said.
"What the hell is going on here? Tenten, is that the child you delivered early this morning?" Uzumaki Mei asked.
"No. Early this morning Tenten was locked in an abandoned ANBU holding facility. She has been inside said facility alone for approximately 3 years. The person who placed and kept her there is the same person who impersonated her since the imprisonment. That person also is the one who delivered the child you mentioned, that person is sitting in front of us with said child." Naruto said while staring at the desk as if he was reading from it. Truly he didn't know what he should do and was still thinking on the matter.
POP. Was the sound made by the Hokage exiting the room in a puff of smoke. 'Handle this myself huh?' Naruto thought.
"You're telling me that for the last 3 years the person who I thought was my daughter was really that person?" She looked at Naruto who gave a slight nod. "Then why is she sitting there and not in prison?"
"That is why we're here now. We have to solve without making a big commotion. It would be best for the Uzumaki and Hyuuga if this incident remains a secret." Naruto said.
"Why is that? She should be put on trial for what she did to me!" Tenten half yelled.
"Tenten-sama, I believe Naruto-sama intends to decide her punishment here and now." Jun said.
"That's true, I want all here to tell recommend what punishment she should receive. Starting with you Jun, then Mei, etcetera."
"Execution." Jun said.
"Execution." Mei also said.
"Execution." was the recommendation from Hua.
Tenten then gave hers. "Execution, she faked her death so no one would know."
Then it was Hiashi. "Imprisonment, preferably at the Hyuuga compound."
"Hinata, what do you think your punishment should be?" Naruto asked.
"Execution is not unlikely, at the very least lifetime imprisonment." Hinata said.
"I understand. Under normal circumstances you would be executed, but this situation is not normal. Even with your flaws, as big as they may be, you are a too valued a ninja. We cannot simply kill you because it will be instantly revealed that Tenten and you are two different people. There are other reasons as well so you punishment will be: You are to be the caretaker, teacher, bodyguard as well as mother to Uzumaki Minato until he becomes a ninja, you will also be a servant to the Uzumaki clan leader. After then you will be put on trial for treason. Be warned though, if you commit any crime during said time I will personally deal with you." Naruto said.
Naruto then stood up, signaling that the meeting was done. He then looked at Hinata and silently mouthed "Go home." to her, and warp home she did. "Tenten I'm sure you would like to talk to your mother about things. Just have someone escort you home when you're ready to come back. Hiashi, I will contact you in a few days so we can talk." Naruto then warped out of the room.
Naruto's House:
When Naruto appeared in the house Hinata was coming out of the baby's room. She started walking towards him and said "Little Minato did a little too much traveling today but he is aslee…" SLAP! Naruto hit her hard enough to make her fall to the floor.
"How could you do something so stupid?" He asked.
"Ouch. We've never played this game before, but if you want to…" She said while rubbing the spot where she was hit.
"Game? Do you think I am joking? You think I am playing a fucking game?" He said before a sword (ninja-to) appeared in his left hand, it was all black except for the word on the sheath, that word was Havoc. Up until now Hinata has been confident of her situation, but she did not expect him to bring out that weapon, she would rather him use 4 tails of Kyuubi's chakra.
Naruto then unsheathed the sword. Unlink normal swords it had no metal blade, it wasn't blade from some element like wind or lightning either, it was something far more sinister and it had Hinata scared. He swung the sword in front of her as if he was going to cut her and she jumped in fear. Seeing that nothing happened to her he put the blade back in its sheath and made the sword disappear before he did the same thing.
Hinata once again had a smile on her face, though it was overshadowed by the sweat and tears on her face. 'I did it! Now that Minato is born we will always have a connection to each other that Tenten can never match. Now all I have to do is wait and soon he will see that she can never become the person he has in his mind but I can. I'm sorry for putting you through this Naruto but I tried the normal way, I have no choice but to do things like a Kunoichi.'
