Over the next week Hinata began moving up from the lower half of class toward the front of the class in ranking.

Naruto himself was staying about middle of the class and when Hinata asked "Why he was hiding he said "A ninja does not show how good he actually is."

Hinata after that began to move back a little toward the middle of class and stayed about where Naruto was.

Mizuki was not having a good week. On monday the desk next to Naruto fell and broke his toe as it was under the desk. On tuesday he slipped on some urine from Akamaru who started to laugh for some reason and pissed in the floor and Mizuke broke his arm trying to catch his fall. On wednesday the flagpole fell on him breaking his shoulder bone. On thursday he was still in the Hospital and on friday when he got out his girlfriend broke up with him after she saw him flirting with some blond hair girl she never seen before even though he was still in the Hospital when this happened.

When Saturday roled around Tenten came over to spar with Naruto and Hinata and Kurenai came buy but Anko was away on a mission.

Sunday was just basic with learning excersice number 9. Hinata would not get to number 10 until she could do the waterfall excersice in the time limit.

Then monday popped up and today Sasuke was back after his suspencion.

When Naruto and Hinata arrived Sasuke ignored them and Naruto said "Wierd."

Hinata nods and they both sat down. As the rest of the kids come in Sakura, Ino and a few other fangirls all started trying to ask Sasuke out and other things and Naruto watched them and Hinata asked "What are you thinking Naruto."

Naruto asked "if Sasuke gay and why is an ANBU henged into a female student."

Hinata blinked and asked "What."

Naruto said "The second brown hair girl on the left of Sasuke in the middle. Shes a he and has an ANBU mask on."

Hinata activated her bloodline and gasped and asked "Why he here."

Naruto frowned and said "I guess the Hokage wants to keep an eye on Sasuke for now and make sure he doesn't try to kill anyone else."

Hinata nods and she didn't realise it but she scooted closer to Naruto and grabbed his hand and Naruto blinked and glanced at her as she watched them and thought "so some of the old you is still there. I guess until you can bury him he will always be a bad memory for you but he still serves a purpose."

Besides that nothing of importance happened. Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Naruto and Hinata spent lunch together every day and stayed good friends but the 3 boys never got closer then that. Naruto and Shikamaru played games, Choji ate, Hinata watched and Kiba joked. It was stress relief to relieve bordum mostly.

In the morning before school Hinata did the first 2 excersices and Naruto had changed the dodge excersice to dodge and attack now, then school, then after school they would go back and train until around 7 when they ater and relaxed until they went to sleep or meditated. Saturday, Tenten, Kurenai, and Anko all came over but Tenten only stayed for an hour since she still had work to do.

Hinata had improved greatly durring this time and Naruto was happy with her improvement.

Today was the day of reckoning though. Today was the 2 month date he had agreed on and it was also Hinata 12th birthday.

Naruto smiled as he saw her working out and he saw that the people he had asked to come had arrived so he went toward the gate and said "Thank you all for coming today." as he opened the gate Hiashi Hyuuga, Hanabi Hyuuga, Kurenai and Anko all arived and Naruto said "please follow me." as he lead them inside.

Hinata was just finishing the dodge and attack excercise and naruto waved his hand and a block moved and the area started to change and Naruto said "Hinata, thats all for now. I have an announcement I would like for you to hear."

Hinata walked over shocked to see who was there and Naruto said "In case you have not realised it Hinata it has been exactly 2 months since you first came here. In that 2 months you have improved greatly in not just physical strength but mental and spiritual as well. You have become the diamond I knew you could. Today is also your birthday. I figured its kind of fitting that today would be the day you would make the most important choice of your life. I had intended to give you a present marking your accomplishments here but someone stole them from the shop they were being customized so I have decided to do something else." as he held his hand above his head and a several tiles in the roof began to move shocking everyone and several puffs of smoke went off around the room and when it was done there were 20 rows of racks all throughout the hall and Naruto pulled out his lightsaber and ignited it and said "Hinata. You have seen me use this weapon on several occasions. I have told you the history of these weapons and how important they are to me and my future clan. I have decided that even if you do not join my clan that you still earned the right to at least one of these weapons." shocking everyone.

Naruto said "Now Hinata, on each of these shelves are the pieces that make up the lightsabers. There are millions of possibilities here and if you notice there is a single pillar alone at the end of the shelved that goes 40 feet into the air. I want you to go down each row and don't chose the ones you think are nice or good or whatever. I want you to feel which pieces are calling you. I don't care if its a single, double or 2 of them. Search out the pieces for your lightsaber and then climb the pillar and on top of it you will find the instruction on how to combine them properly. Follow the directions and then when you are done activate them for all of us to see. That is my birthday present and my gift showing that in my eyes you are now an adult, free to make any choice you wish."

Hinata was shocked and Hiashi asked "What are you playing at Naruto."

Naruto waited until Hinata was searching the rows and he said "She nows the truth Hiashi. She knows about how in order to stop Sasuke feud with the Hyuuga clan I paid your clan a chest of rubbies and how I was the one who framed her so you could kick her out. Shes known since the 2nd day here. I asked her to give me the 2 months that we agreed on Hiashi to let her learn to become stronger for herself so she can make her own decision. Not the ones her clan makes for her or the ones I make for her but what will make her happy. I have given her every tool that I could while she was here. I have given her support, guidance, inspiration, compasion, understanding, and kindness. I have showed her that just because she was a woman she was not weak, I showed her that just because others say things about her does not make them true. I have done nothing to her but opened her eyes to the world and allowed the real Hinata that has hidden herself away her entire life to come out of hiding. Now today is the day she will make her choice. She will either return to the Hyuuga clan as a proud Hyuuga, stay here with me with the knowledge of my plans for the future and the way I am, she can take Kurenai offer to move in with her and become like a daughter to her or she can tell us all to go screw ourselves and start her own life. You free now Kurenai so you can hit me if you wish. It won't matter because its all her choice now." as he looked back at the red eyed woman who has been trying to open her mouth as well as move to punch Naruto after hearing him say it was his fault she was kicked out and she heard it all and asked barely holding her temper "WHY."

Naruto saw Hinata had done finished and was standing on the pillar and said "Look at her now and you will understand. Before all this went down she was a lump of coal in every since of the word. She was hidden in the ground, alone in her own darkness feeling lots of pressure from eveywhere but she was lacking the spark of heat in her life that would turn her into what she is now. A diamond that just needs to be refined and she will be ready for whatever the world throws at her."

Kurenai looked at Hinata who slipped the pieces together and she said "Im finished."

Naruto said "good, now be careful and activate it Hinata and show everyone your light."

Hinata nods and she activated the lightsaber and Naruto eyes went wide as Hinata had a double bladed lightsaber with green blades and he smiled and said "Well done Lady Hinata, well done, now come join us so we can celebrate your birthday." as several Kagebunshin walked out with tables, food, and drinks.

Naruto raised his hand and more tiles moved in the roof and all the rows of lightsaber parts went up in smoke and Anko asked "Aren't you afraid someone might find those and steal them."

Naruto said "Nope, I have set up decoy bricks in the cealing and if any one of the parts is not from the right shelf when they go to activate it, the lightsaber will explode and kill everyone within 10 feet of it."

Hiashi asked "How do you have so many gems."

Naruto smirked and said "lets just say you would never believe what is burried under this village or this temple."

Hiashi narrowed his eyes and said "So theres more to it underground."

Naruto said "Yeap thought I can't take credit for them. My parents originally built that part as a civilian shelter but because of the way the villagers treated me as a child my mother and I say the villagers can go fuck themselves. I will defend Konoha because its my home and the home my father gave his life for and for the ones who see me as me. Those like Mizuki and the ones who don't just get off lucky."

Hinata frowned at this but remained quite as she ate.

The rest of the lunch was mostly a few comments here and there, hanabi saying happy birthday to her sister and then Naruto said "Well Hinata, do you have that scroll."

Hinata nods and pulls out the scroll and lighter and Naruto said "That scroll contains the contract I made with Hinata. Its basically the same one I made with the Hyuuga clan with a few minor changes like no jewels and things like that. Shes allowed to make her own decision so do what is best for you, not for me, not for Kurenai and not for your family."

Hinata closed her eyes and said "Can I speak to my father and sister a few minutes alone before I decide."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said "Its you decision Hinata, you can do what ever you want." as he turned and walked away.

Hiashi watched as Kurenai and Anko followed after Naruto and Hinata looked at them and said "Did you know about this Hanabi. I mean about my being kicked out of the clan a lie."

Hanabi looked extremely confused and Hiashi said "No. No one besides myself, the council and Naruto knew of this. She only knew what every one else knew."

Hinata nods and looked at her father with a heavy glare and asked "Why. Why did you agree to it."

Hiashi sighed and said "I did what was best for the clan. Naruto explained how Sasuke attacks on everyone, especially you made it look like it was the rivalry between the Hyuuga clan and the Uchiha clan. We did it be..."

Hinata slapped him across the face and screamed "I don't want to know why Hiashi Hyuuga, head of the Hyuuga clan did it, that I know. I want to know why my father agreed to it."

Hiashi was shocked and Hanabi was gaping and he said "I..."

Hinata asked "You what."

Hiashi regained his composer and said "After your attack and we were at the Hospital after Sasuke sent his threat that if I agreed with Naruto idea then you and your sister would finally be safe. I knew no matter what I did that one of you would have suffered in the branch house. That is why I made you feel weak and inferior after your mothers death so that way there was a chance that the current council would pass away while we tried to determine who should be the heir."

Hinata asked "And if I returned to the Hyuuga clan what would happen to Hanabi and I."

Hiashi said "Even though you have gotten stronger the fact that you now use non traditional Hyuuga techniques means you would be branded with the seal."

Hinata frowned and Hanabi looked at her sister and Hinata said "May I speak with my sister alone a moment."

Hiashi nods and walked away and Hinata said "Hinabi, you understand what is going on here right."

Hanabi said "a little."

Hinata looked at her sister and had a flashback of when she first came here and Naruto words rang in her head and she said "I want you to do something for me sister. I am going to become someone you are going to be proud of. I want you to watch me and when you become the head of the Hyuuga clan I want you to use me as your guide and change the Hyuuga clan so that way our family will no longer suffer because of the seal and what others think. I may be mad about the fact Naruto got me kicked out of my family but he freed me from slavery. I owe him and I will stand by his side. He is a great person. Watch me sister and become a diamond like me." as she hugged her sister and a tear fell from her eyes.

Hanabi was confused but understood enough of it and said "I will sister."

Hinata nods and stood back up and said "Come sister, I have an announcement to make." as she walked toward where the 3 groups were waiting.

When they all got back together Hinata said "I have decided that I am going to stay here with Naruto."

Naruto looked at her and asked "Are you sure. I mean you know that I will never be able to marry you and someday I will want you to become the mother of my children. Are you sure about this. I don't want you to feel you owe me or anything. I want it to be your choice."

Hinata said "I know but I realise that no matter what my life as a Hyuuga is over. I can't ever go back unless I want to become a servent in the branch family. I also know that Kurenai offered me a chance to be with her but I won't be a burden to anyone ever again. I learned my lesson and that was that I have to take care of myself in this world. I decided to stay with you because the fact you went out of your way to help me when no one else would. I suffered not only at the hands of Sasuke but from the Hyuuga clan. You freed me and in the process freed my sister. You have shown me nothing but kindness besides the actual deed that caused me to be kicked out. You have showed me you care for me and I have decided I will help you as I help myself."

Naruto smiled and saw everyone looking at Hinata and he said "I know that for you and Anko, Kurenai, that this shocking to learn and I ask that you both don't tell anyone about the truth why Hinata was removed from the Hyuuga clan. If you both hadn't have become so attached to her I would not have let you been here but since this was her future I decided that you should know why today is so important. Do you have anything you wish to say Hiashi-san."

Hiashi looked at Hinata and said "Just that I am proud of you and I am sorry for what I did but I have my duties to the Hyuuga clan."

Hinata narrowed her eyes and said "I see. Well today has been very tiring for me and I have a busy day of training tomorrow. I am sorry but I must get some rest. Thank you all for coming today and may the force be with you." as she turned and Naruto saw the look on her face and frowned inside and he saw everyone looked uncomfortable and he said "I wish to thank you all for coming and like Hinata said we have a long day tomorrow."

Hiashi nods and said "Come Hanabi, we shall retire for the evening." as he turned and grabbed her hand as they left. As he was leaving Anko asked "What are you playing at gaki."

Naruto said "I just want to see Hinata happy. Is that so hard to believe."

Anko glared at him and Kurenai said "You have better take care of her and if I ever hear of you hurting her I will kill you."

Naruto said "I won't but I hope you will still come see her. I know shes grown to look at you like a second mother."

Kurenai closes her eyes and said "I will." as she wanted to bite his head off but knew she couldn't right now and she grabbed Anko arm and they left.

Naruto waited until they were gone and he locked the gate and went back into the temple and went to find Hinata.

He found her inside the flower garden and he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her and she flinched and Naruto said "Go ahead and let it go Hinata. Its just you and me and we don't hide things from each other."

Hinata began to cry and wail as she turned into his hold and put her head on his chest as she cried.

Naruto sat there rubbing her back and about 10 minutes later when she began to hiccup from crying he asked "Do you want to talk about it."

Hinata looked up at him and saw kindness in his eyes and she wipped the tears from her eyes and said "I hate my father. He cares more about the clan then he does me. He actually had me believe he cared but I could tell if it came to me or the clan I would always lose to him. I hate him."

Naruto rubbed her back and said "Hinata, do you love me."

Hinata blinked and asked "What."

Naruto asked "Do you love me."

Hinata looked down a moment and she said "yes."

Naruto put his finger under her chin where they were looking at each other and he said "I also love you. I know that I have said that I will make it where none of the woman I have mother my children would be different but you are special to me. I don't know how but you have taken my heart. I have so many secrets I have to keep and yet I want to tell them all to you. No matter what Hinata I can honestly say that any other woman that I have in my future no matter what I say will be nothing but the mother of my children, to me you will be more. If I could have one that would be my wife it would be you, that is if you would have me."

Hinata was shocked and asked "What are you asking me."

Naruto said "to the rest of the world you will be no different then the other woman I will chose to be the mother of my children and though I will have sex with them and will tell them I care for them you will be the only one I will trully love with my heart, behind close doors when its just you and me I will hold nothing back and you will know everything and you will hide nothing from me. What I am asking is if you will share my secrets and keep them from everyone and aid me in life, help me when there are things I can't do alone and stand by my side no matter what I must do."

Hinata looked into his eyes and said "Yes Naruto-kun. I will."

Naruto nods and said "You remember how I told you about my mother coming here."

Hinata nod and Naruto said "Shortly after you came here to live with me a man bumped into me and called me a youngling. I was shocked and then I realised he had stolen my lightsabers and I chased after him. When I found him I learned he is a jedi who along with some others came here looking for my mother. They will be coming here soon because mom had me tell him to bring the leaders with him of the group and we would explain everything. They don't know it but when mom found the enemy that she was wanting to protect the Republic for she had delayed their plans by doing the same thing that was done at Malachor 5 and that was trap the enemies ships in the gravity of the planet and have them crash into the planet. She destroyed she thinks around 400 ships by doing that but when she escaped she was on her way to the republic to warn them. An enemy ship followed her through hyperspace which is like a shushin for ships and when they arrived here where she would have to change coarse to make the next jump to hyperspace the ship attacked hers which caused her to crash so they would know that she could not alert the Republic. It then left back to where the others were to help recover. It takes a month in Hyperspace to get from their planet to this one and another month to get from this planet to the farthest planet in the Republic."

Hinata was absorbing all of this and Naruto said "Mom had suspected something because of how long it would take to get from one place to another and then after I was born and the Kyuubi was sealed inside of me she made a comment to the fox and she learned that her fear was true."

Hinata saw Naruto was silent and asked "What was her fear, what is it."

Naruto said "Durring wars an enemy will sometimes make a checkpoint where they can get supplies and regroup. Mom gound out that Kyuubi and the other tailed demons had a second mission besides stopping the natural disasters on this planet. They were also to protect the planet population that the enemy that mom calls the Ancients brought here as slaves from other people gaining control of this planet and when the Ancients return they were to help them quickly cripple any armies here by attacking the villages so they could be quickly turned into slaves so they could make this planet a checkpoint. Mom found out that there is a Factory burried under ground on an island here that would allow them to make any parts for their ships and armor for weapons. Its like the Star Forge I told you about but smaller. The Ancients are going to come here and take over this planet turning us all into slaves and breeding stock. Once she found this out and found out Kyuubi was going to try and influence me to where I can be used by the Ancients mom killed him. I now have all his power but that I am absorbing over time but the fox itself is dead."

Hinata was shocked and said "But what can we do." in a scared voice.

Naruto said "mom and I planned for me to use the force and other things and manipulate the people of this world like she did as the Lord of the Sith and become the ruler of this world. I then plan to use the Factory and build weapons and other things to allow us to defend this world. If we can stop the Ancients here, even if it cost us all our lives then the hundreds of billions in the Republic will be safe. The Ancients need this world or all their plans are ruined. Moms told me a few idea she had to stop them like shields for the planet and other things other things and if I can do it quickly I can hopefully save the people here but the problem is I am going to have to use people, kill people, trick people, and be cruel to some people so I can make my empire. I know that alot will die and some people are going to hate me for what I have to do but if my plan works then alot more will live. To some I will be a monster, a murderer but I can live with that choice if I can save everyone."

Hinata asked "Why don't you tell people."

Naruto said "Think about it Hinata, did you believe me when I told you my mom was not from this planet. People already fear me because of Kyuubi. If I tell them the truth they will think I am crazy and either try and kill me or lock me away and by the time they learn the truth it will be to late."

Hinata looked down and asked "Then why do you plan for our children. If they are born then they will be slaves if we fail or killed. I don't understand."

Naruto said "Mom hurt them when she faced them. She set them back by years. I don't know when they will come. It may not even be in my life and the more time I have to set things up the less people will die. Mom had me draw blueprints up for alot of things and has been teaching me about machines and droids and other things. If I can get my empire set up and then get the things she had me make plans for then if we can get them built and running before they arrive then they might not even be able to get to the planet. If that happens then our children would all be safe. Mom and I hope that if we can get the ones who came here to find her to help us we might be able to do it quicker with less loss of life. If the ancients don't get this world then the Republic will have more and more time to get ready and possible set up some kind of trap to stop them. The problem is we don't know how far back mom set their plans so they can be here anytime from now to 1000 years from now. From what mom told me and what we know about Kyuubi the guys in charge can't die of old age."

Hinata thought about it and said "So your willing to sacrafice some to save all, just like your mother."

Naruto said "yeah, thats why I took a Sith Name and have started to call myself Darth Rasen. I have already started preparing. I gave Kakashi a gift that was a pair of sunglasses that were actually made of the material that the visors for the armored helmets I plan to use to test and see if bloodlines can still work with them and so far they appear to work right."

Hinata asked "Then why didn't you have me try. I mean I do have a bloodline."

Naruto said "I didn't want to use you. Even thought you might think I did with the Armor you wear its not. That is something specific for my family I want, the Armor I plan to use later is totally different."

Hinata asked "This factory you plan to use. Do you know where it is."

Naruto said "Yeah, each of the Bijuu know where it is since they have to gaurd it. Mom forced Kyuubi to tell her before she killed him. It will be a little hard to get to for me and for someone who does not know how to use the force it will be impossible."

Hinata looked at him and asked "Do you plan to use me."

Naruto said "no. I don't plan to use you. If I did I would never have told you what I have. I just want someone to know. Hopefully understand me." as he closed his eyes.

Hinata looked at him and asked "Is that why you have nightmares."

Naruto looked at her and finally said "No. from the day I was born until I was 4 years old I was treated like I was a demon in human form. People would beat me, starve me, try to kill me. From my memories mom counted I was in the hospital over 800 times. The people who were suppose to take care of me would weight until the Hokage left and either let other hurt me or they did it themselves. Most of the council either wanted me dead or turned into a human weapon. Then when mom finally was able to return to me I came here before this temple was built and the sandiame tried everything he could to get me out so he could deny who I really was. I lived basically alone always training and working here to build this place and then when I finally had to go ask for food and supplies when I was almost out the Sandiame had tried to arrest me with ANBU. Luckily I had already trained in my mind and body learning to use the force and I was able to beat them. Then I nearly had to fight the Hokage himself but we came to a small agreement after I threatened to take my fathers jutsu and goto another village. After that day I did not step outside the gates here for several years. The Sandaime or Kakashi would come by a week before my birthday to get a list of what I needed for the year and then on my birthday they would bring my supplies in storage scrolls to me. Even then he denied who I was until he let it slip after the Uchiha massacre." as he laid back onto the ground.

Hinata looked at him and said "So thats why you have nightmares."

Naruto nods and Hinata said "I think I understand you know Darth Rasen but to me you will always be Naruto-kun no matter what you do, I will be by your side."

Naruto smiled as he set up and asked "Do you mean it."

Hinata nods and he leans forward and said "I love you Lady Hinata."

Hinata said "And I, you my lord." as she pressed her lips into his and they shared a true kiss. After several moments they pulled back and Naruto said "Come." as he stood up as he offered her his hand.

Hinata stood up and and Naruto held her hand as they made thier way back to the temple. When they got back Naruto walked her to where the hall divided to goto each of their rooms and he said "Goodnight my lady." as he kissed her again and turned to leave and Hinata held onto his hand and he stopped when she wouldn't let go and he was about to say something when she said "I told you I will be by your side. I know we are to young to do anything which I am glad because I am not ready for that but I also know I will have to share you soon so you can have your family you want to rule our empire. I want to have you alone for myself for now just to be by you."

Naruto was shocked and he asked "Are you sure I mean."

Hinata said "Yes. I am sure, let me get my night cloths and I will join you."

Naruto nods and he watched her leave toward her room to get ready for bed and he thought "mom, whats going on."

Kushina smiled and said "She loves you son. Don't worry about it. It happens. Enjoy."

Naruto nods and Kushina sighed and thought "be there for him Hinata, I fear dark times are coming and only he will be able to do what is necessary."

Naruto walks into his room and get his night shirt and a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and when he walked out he found Hinata was already there in his bed and he walked over and saw she had a pair of night pants and a long shirt.

He crawled into bed and layed down and Hinata layed down on his shoulder and said "goodnight." as she closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.

Naruto who was still shocked closed his eyes listening to her breathing and soon fell asleep.
