(A/N: Sorry I'm so inactive with this!)

Hinata and Kakashi stood side by side in front of Tsunade, her eyes downcast and calculating. "Well although your wedding was set, but... The Akatsuki have declared war on the five great nations. So, your wedding will be postponed until it's over."

Neither of the two made any movements, but Tsunade could see that they were both extremely anxious.

Kakashi coughed slightly, directing both females' attention, "Why has Hyuuga-sama agreed to this? Surely he knows that I wasn't born with the Sharingan and the likeliness of our children having it is extremely low."

Tsunade nodded and folded her hands in front of her mouth, "Of course he knows that, but he also wants someone who's strong enough to protect his daughter."

Hinata remained silent as she glanced over at the silver-haired male, he caught her gaze for a split second, but immediately found something out the window more interesting.

Kakashi sighed, "What about my feelings? Has anyone considered what I would say to this?"

Hinata looked at the floor, tears welled up in her eyes.

'So... It was all an act...?'

Tsunade glared at Kakashi and refrained from smashing her desk, "No. I will not take your thoughts into consideration because I know deep down this is what you want."

Kakashi shook his head and met Tsunade's glare with one of her own, "No. I never wanted this. My young self was stupid, idiotic. Loving someone from the future. I don't want this and I never will!"

Hinata could've sworn she heard her heart shatter, the little pieces of her heart were stomped on repeatedly.

Tsunade lost all control and smashed her desk into nothing but a pile of wood chunks, "Kakashi! How dare yo-"

"No..."

The two shinobi froze and turned to the trembling Hinata, her eyes hidden by her bangs, "I would never want him to be forced into something he doesn't want. I'm just selfish."

A wave of guilt washed over Kakashi as he realized he took it too far, "Hina-"

"Enough... You've said enough."

With that, Hinata fled out of the room and out of the tower. Leaving a fuming Tsunade and a regretful Kakashi.

Tsunade threw an empty sake bottle at the Copy-nin as she destroyed everything in sight, "Get the hell out!"

Kakashi shunshined to his apartment and sat on his couch, he was alone and left to regret how much of a fool he was.

-Line Break-

Hinata dressed in her new Jounin outfit, she tied her headband around her forehead and parted her bangs so you could see the leaf symbol.

She walked out of the compound and up to Hanabi, "Hanabi-chan... Stay well, go to bed early, eat dinner, and make sure to take care of yourself."

Hanabi nodded and took Hinata's hands, "I will Nee-chan, please come back safe..."

Hinata nodded with a smile and pulled her imouto into a tight embrace, "I will."

Hinata left the compound with her father and Neji, they walked to the village gates, which were surrounded by many departing shinobi and weeping loved ones.

She spotted Kakashi, but turned away and walked to the front of the group.

All of the shinobi seemed hesitant to step out into the beginning of a war, so Hinata used all of her courage and was the first one to step out of the village walls, "We must be brave! For Naruto!"

Her words seemed to touch the hearts of all the shinobi as the began walking behind her, some shouting, "For Naruto!"

Hinata smiled as she began running to the Land of Lightning.

She would protect Naruto with her life.

-Time Skip-

Once the Hidden Leaf shinobi arrived in the Land of Lightning, they all received new headbands that had the Kanji for "Shinobi" on it.

She strolled to the sorting desk, the woman looked at her with a smile and asked for her name. Hinata returned her smile before saying, "Hyuuga Hinata."

The tan woman nodded and checked the list, "Ah, here you are, you're with your family in the mid-range troop."

Hinata nodded with a grateful smile and thanked her, she walked over to her platoon, she looked up at the tower before the Allied Shinobi Forces and spotted her troop leader...

Kakashi...

Hinata flinched as he caught her gaze, his single eye pleading, but Hinata steeled her resolve and walked to the front of the platoon.

She felt Kakashi's eye on her, but she didn't look up, she washed away all of her emotions and looked to Gaara, who began his heart wrenching speech.

"So I'm asking you! Please stand with me!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and put platoons were sent with their troop captains into battle, Kakashi led his troop towards the forest, splitting off from Gaara's, they headed west. Hinata was right behind Kakashi, her eyes set on his broad shoulders, she shook her head and set her eyes forward.

Hinata activated her Byakugan and saw a large amount of Zetsu coming at them from underground, "Kakashi! Below us, the Zetsu are going to attack from below!"

Kakashi nodded and added chakra to his voice to make it louder and he lifted his headband, "Troop! Take to the trees!" The platoon began running in the trees, avoiding the Zetsu that were lurking below.

Hinata watched with her 359 degree sight as the Zetsu began to come to the surface, "Kakashi! They're going to attack in; 3, 2... Now!"

The Zetsu sprung up from the earth, launching themselves at the troop. Kakashi growled and slammed his foot into one of the Zetsu's face, "Fight with everything you have!"

Every ninja present jumped downwards and began to battle with the Zetsu, Hinata slammed her open palm into one of the Zetsu so hard, her hand shot through his body.

Hinata smirked, but her joy was short-lived as a bloodied fist shot through her chest. Hinata turned around to see a Zetsu smirking and at her, her eyes widened as she heard Kakashi call her name, "Hinata!"

Hinata smirked and poofed into smoke, only to be a shadow clone. The Zetsu was immediately on alert, but wasn't prepared for Hinata to shoot out of the ground and punch him so hard his head flew off.

Hinata turned around, ready for more to attack when her eyes met Kakashi's, she glared at him and turned away.

She didn't need the distraction.

-Time Skip-

The Allied Shinobi Forces has been fighting for weeks, when they got word to meet up at the next battle field to fight alongside Naruto, everyone sped off to protect him.

Everyone except for Hinata and Kakashi, who had gone a day before, Kakashi was needed for assisting Gai and Naruto, but what puzzled them is the masked male wanting Hinata. They went along with it and told her to travel with Kakashi, but Naruto told them that if she was hurt, he wouldn't let up on the man.

So here Kakashi and Hinata were, just arriving at the battle ground to aid Gai and Naruto. Hinata skidded to a stop, glad to be rid of the awkward silence between her and Kakashi.

Naruto looked at her and gave her a bright smile, "Hinata-chan! I'm so glad you're ok!"

Hinata smiled at her self-acclaimed sibling, she nodded and turned to face the masked man, "Glad to see you as well, Naruto, But May I ask why I was called?"

Gai narrowed his eyes, his blinding smile, surprisingly, not present, "We have no idea... But know this, beautiful blossom of Konoha! Our youth shall prevail!" Kakashi, Hinata, and Naruto all sweatdropped as Gai gave them a thumbs up.

The masked man stood in front of them, unmoving, "It's been a while, hasn't it, Kakashi, Hinata-chan..."

Hinata was immediately on guard, she activated her Byakugan and gasped as she immediately recognized the chakra signature, "O-Obi-"

"Silence!" The masked man shouted at her, tears welled up in her eyes as he began to unclip his mask, "So you do recognize me, Hinata-chan..."

The tears fell down Hinata's cheeks as she clapped her hand over her mouth, "But why..." The man removed the mask, his face set into a glare, "Obito-kun..."

Kakashi and Gai gasped as Obito set his glare upon them, Kakashi was the first one to break the silence, "O-Obito... I thought you were dead..."

Obito's mismatched eyes narrowed, but softened slightly as he met Hinata's gaze, "Well I'm obviously not. I thought you were the intelligent one..." He gazed at Hinata, his face emotionless, but his eyes pleading, his hand stretched out, "Hinata-chan... Please... Join me, I don't wish to hurt you..."

Hinata stared at him with wide eyes as she processed what he said, she looked over at Naruto, whose eyes were bulging out of his head, "Eh? How do you know him Hinata-chan?"

Hinata didn't answer, instead she took a hesitant step towards Obito's outstretched hand, "Obito-kun... Why did you do this?"

Obito took step towards her, only standing a foot away, "I can't live in a world where I can't live with you, or Rin... In the infinite Tsukuyomi, you can live your wildest dreams. No one will ever hurt you like he has, Hinata-chan."

Hinata noticed him glare at Kakashi, who was still reeling from the shock of his old teammate still being alive, "But Obito-kun... you can still live with me, and Kakashi, I'll be here for you... Please come with us, I'll do everything in my power to keep your punishment bearable."

Obito took her hand in his own, "Gomen, Hinata-chan, but I can't stay somewhere near that... filth. He can't even keep a damn promise..."

Hinata gazed at the Uchiha in confusion, "What do you mean, Obito-kun...?"

Obito met Hinata's gaze, his eyes softening, "He never told you... Did he...?" Hinata shook her head tentatively and Obito sighed, "The reason Rin died... Was because Kakashi killed her!"

Hinata's mouth fell open, her eyes widening in utter shock, it felt as if the air had been taken out of her lungs. She couldn't breathe, it wasn't true... Right...?

Hinata slowly turned her head to make eye contact with the offending male, "Kakashi... It's not true... Right...? You... You didn't kill Rin did you, Kakashi...?"

Kakashi looked away, his eyes showing guilt and sorrow, "Hai... It's true, I killed her..."
