Disclaimer: I don't own naruto

Hinata was angry but also displeased albeit as well as aggravated with her father he wasn't high-handed of her amassing against someone like tenten, someone who was perceived to be one of the strongest kunochi out of the academy thus far, no he was more concerned about her little sister and even naruto to care, even if naruto had been encouraging her on to prevail why would he want to talk to her about him?

-flash back-

"next match will be hyuuga hinata vs tenten"

tenten was already on the arena floor smiling that she'd be fighting someone who was trying to make a deviation in her life, of course naruto not lacking to lose his torridness affixed to her in longings she wouldn't leave his side to fight however naruto decisively gave in when sakura decked him for being selfish of course hinata'd get her back later.

When she got to the floor below facing her opponent she gave a short bow tenten did the same when the proctor yelled begin tenten threw every weapon she could because of the byakugan she could doge with out even so much as a scratch she was about to strike a blow when she felt something strike her side it hurt but she came in with a jyuken strike to her stomach just enough to knock her off her feet but that was enough to subdue her opponent since she had no real physical training to take hits but give them out fast enough so that she'd not have to worry, but in this case she wasn't strong enough to really stop the girl and she honestly felt bad for her family and in a way thought it'd help her self esteem to lose "but..that really hurt " she thought as the proctor shouted that hinata was the winner naruto was ecstatic

-flashback end-

"that boy is a demon spawned from the kyuubi no kitsune if you continue to seek him out, outside of training and missions I will be forced to remove you as heir" he said in a calm stature void of any emotion what's so ever even now it was the same but her answer was the obvious "then strip me of my title as heir, I'd rather lose that than lose the boy I've loved for so long" she said in a normal pitched voice which is basically yelling for her "He needs me as I need him his smile gives me courage his eyes...give me the ability to be myself and remove any doubt or worry from me his voice is like self esteem itself itself is pouring into him, without him I'd still be weak!" she said conviction pouring from her soul "you still are if you love him so much then go, be with that weakling" even before the day was over she was running around trying to find the orange clad ninja to see if what her father said was true, but more then anything wanted to see the warm smile on his face that made her world right

naruto was at his favorite ramen bar slurping from his bowl and looking around at the couples missing the one girl he wanted to see "no...she may hate me" he thought and kept slurping his noodles when a voiced cooed into his ears that soft loveable voice he was so used to that warmed him, this time truly saddened him that this may be the last time he may hear it..but it didn't stop she grabbed him and held him from behind, held him like she'd never been held in her life, something he'd never expect from her.

"I know...your secret" she whispered

his heart sank and was crumbling into a thousand pieces

"but.." she started "its o-okay, because..I still love you n-naruto-kun" she finished with a cute but noticeable blush

his face was blasted with emotions, she knew his secret and loved him, regardless of issues and circumstances still loved him unconditionally at that, she had accepted him before he even knew it and had always been by his side the fact he had ever had a crush on sakura was surely completely gone as if it was never there tears fell from his face and a weak but happy smile no one would ever see but her, his weakest moment, his most sincere moment of happiness was shared with her, something she had always wanted something she craved and dreamed of, tears fell from her face at the sight of the love in he had in his eyes for her, moments felt like hours, days even but the happiness never vanished even when people came by trying to consult with the two the atmosphere told them it'd be best not to but that didn't stop sakura "hey naruto, hinata are the both of you on a date already?"

when she didn't get a reply she started to get irritated, fortunately sasuke intervened

"sakura, forget those two why don't we go out for a bit?" he said with a smirk

her eyes lit up and tears formed in her eyes "really sasuke?"

he nodded "hurry before I change my mind" he said in a sarcastic tone

she ran to the raven haired boy she wanted to look presentable but she didn't care she couldn't pass this up, it was something she'd always wanted and wouldn't be giving it up for the world.

"so you're the one he killed?" a man visible only by his white hair said

he reached out his hand towards the boy known as neji and revived him " you still hold a purpose so I'll let you live of course I'll let you live how you see fit since it'd shock everyone just to see you alive and that's really all I need" he said with a smirk and vanished

"I wonder where you are" he said thinking aloud and vanished

"...where am I didn't...I die?" neji thought

a doctor walked into the morgue about to roll out neji's body bag when he saw the young hyuuga sitting up right and utterly panicked to see this and alerted the other medical ninja

"the hyuuga is awake!"
