So it will be set a few month from graduation

XXXXXXX

Hinata walked happily from the academy, over the years she had grown in many ways, ever since her run in with Kabuto, Itachi had been like her bodyguard.

Since it was his mission to stay near her at any time, they had more time to train, and Itachi had begun to train Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke ecstatic that his aniki was finally training him, while Naruto was excited to learn cool jutsu.

Since graduation was right around the corner, Hinata had been working hard with Sasuke and Naruto. Since she new Sasuke was ahead of the class, Hinata had been helping Naruto with his clone jutsu, but almost as a second nature, Hinata accidentally taught him Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

She guessed it would be too weird not seeing him use his got to jutsu.

Sasuke still had raging jealousy issues, but Hinata always took him out for a treat after she was done helping Naruto. Neji had already become a genin last year, he was now away on D rank missions, but he would always help Hinata train Hanabi when he had freetime.

Ever since Hinata had helped Neji with his hatred, he had become kinder to his team and seemed to be developing a crush on Tenten, when Neji had told Hinata that, she squealed with a bright smile and hugged him, making the brunette bush lightly in embarrassment.

Hanabi had began to admire Hinata even more, as much as Hinata hated to beat her in spars she had to keep her rightful name as heiress, but luckily, Hanabi took the losses with dignity and always cooed about how strong her Nee-chan was.

Hiashi was more open with affection, even if it wasn't noticeable by others, Hinata saw it. How he slightly opened his arms if one of his daughters came in for a hug, or how he would come into their rooms at night when he thought they were asleep and lightly kiss their heads.

Sakura and Ino had grown over their silly schoolgirl crushes on Sasuke, but not completely. They still fangirled over him somewhat, but they've gotten much better at controlling themselves around the Uchiha. There would always be lingering feelings that stuck with them, but they had grown enormously under that teachings of Hinata, they had grown to become best friends.

Hinata just couldn't wait to see Tenten again.

Unfortunately, Hinata hadn't been able to get closer to Kiba or Shino, but with her always busy schedule, she hadn't been able to do much lately.

Oddly enough, she had gotten a close bond with the infamous napper of her class; Nara Shikamaru. They were an unlikely pair, but Shikamaru labeled her: Not too troublesome, so ever since then, they became closer.

Her insomnia had gotten worse and she only found refuge while sleeping with Neji. Hinata shuddered, the last nightmare still fresh in her mind...

Hanabi's body fell to the ground in front of her like a sack of potatoes, Hinata stared at her beloved imouto's corpse. Her neck was twisted at an odd angle and there were multiple scars and cuts littering her body.

Hinata looked up, her eyes wide and filled with unshed tears and fear, her eyes met the ones of Hanabi's murderer.

Sharingan.

His red eyes brimming with excitement and blood lust at he stared at Hinata, a shit eating grin on his face. "I already said I'm sorry... I don't know what else you want from me."

Naruto stood by her side, a hand placed on her shoulder, "Shut up you psychotic bastard! Hinata don't listen to him!"

Hinata shook her head and tried to get rid of the thoughts before she had a break down in the middle of the street.

But they wouldn't leave.

"Shino!"

"Choji!"

Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino, and Hinata watched in horror as their beloved teammates were blown to smithereens by Madara.

Sakura came running towards them, but Shikamaru, Kiba, and Hinata were already gone.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

The survivors watched as Ino and Sakura were burnt in the unforgiving inferno. Ino ran around while her skin burnt to black, while Sakura had died on contact.

The only thing Hinata heard was Madara's maniacal laughter as she watched her friends die one after another.

Hinata froze.

She began trembling as the memories became more and more vivid, thoughts ran wild in her head as her eyes widened and her friends' agonizing screams rang through her mind.

Her breathing was ragged and her killing intent began to rise, saliva dropped down her chin as her eyes widened to their fullest extent.

"-nata!"

"Hi... nata!"

"Hinata!"

Hinata got a grip on herself and looked up to see Itachi standing over her, a concerned expression on his usually stoic face. "Are you alright?"

Hinata stared at him for a second before wiping her mouth and nodding, "Y-yeah"

-Time Skip-

Hinata was training Hanabi, trying not to let her mind wander again. It was working as it seemed that Hanabi had grew significantly since the last time they sparred.

"Your fists are too slow, you'll need to work on speed. That's something that's easy to overcome."

Hanabi nodded, her eyes gleaming, "Un!"

"Let's take a break for now and I'll help you next time, ne?" Hinata turned around and stretched her left leg. She heard Hanabi's small feet padding towards the door and she nodded her head with an exuberant grin on her face. Hinata shook her head with a small smile on her face, the future had changed a lot, Hinata barely remembered her old past and how she used to be. She was quite content with herself, the future she was creating for the next generations seemed to be turning out lovely.

Graduation was in about two months and Hinata couldn't help but wonder if Kurenai would still be her Sensei, she would be more than happy if she had her motherly-figure there with her, but she still wondered what it would be like to have Kakashi or Asuma as her Sensei.

Preferably, she would have Kakashi over Asuma, only because she had never spoke to him, nor did she want to break up the Ino-Shika-Cho tradition. She didn't want to break up the original team seven, but she couldn't help but wonder what kind of Sensei Kakashi was like...

"Hiiiiiiinataaaaa-chaaaan!"

"Hiiinaa-chaaaaan!"

Hinata snapped out of her thoughts to the sound of two familiar voices calling to her, Hinata giggled and ran down the hallway to see Sasuke and Naruto running down the pristine Hyuga walls, they glared at each other and began running faster to beat each other. Hinata watched them try to slow down as to not tackle their friend, but Hinata moved to the side and laughed lightly as they both fell to the ground.

"Hina-chan! Are you ready for training today? Aniki said that he would train us, but only if you would help him!"

Hinata brought her fingers to her chin and bit her lip, "I'm not busy right now... So sure!" Sasuke and Naruto gave her bright grins and began to drag her towards the entrance, the trio passed Hiashi and Hinata called back to him, "Tou-sama! I'll return before dusk!"

Hiashi watched as they ran off, but not before he said, "When you return, we have much to discuss."

"Hai Tou-sama!"

-Line Break-

Hinata stood beside Itachi and in front of a panting Sasuke and Naruto, the two were to try and take Itachi and Hinata down with taijutsu alone, so far Hinata and Itachi hadn't broken a sweat while Naruto and Sasuke had bumps and bruises after every session.

Of course Hinata had healed them after, but surprisingly, the two buys wanted to heal on their own. So Hinata had begun training them in the Mystic Palm, she also showed them how to make healing salves just in case they were ever out of chakra and needed to be healed.

Hinata remembered one training session that always made her smile when she thought of it...

Hinata had just finished healing a small squirrel that she found with deep gash on it's back, she had demonstrated the Mystic Palm only once and they already began to pick it up. Surprisingly, Naruto was a little better than Sasuke, but that didn't slow down the young Uchiha.

Hinata made a small cut on her forearm and held it out for Sasuke to heal, he put his hands over it and green chakra enveloped his hands, the muscle began stitching back together, but his chakra wavered before the skin could reconnect. "Sasu-chan, you need to keep your chakra at a steady rate, so don't use all you chakra on the muscle, also do some chakra exercises to help with control."

Sasuke gave a big smile and focused his chakra before healing the rest of the small cut on her arm.

Hinata made one more cut and stuck her arm out in front of an impatient Naruto, he immediately put his hands over the injury and his chakra enveloped his hand, his chakra was a light shade of blue, in contrast to the scarlet chakra that swirled deep within him.

Naruto's chakra forced the cut closed with amazing speed, "Naruto-kun, you're speed is amazing! But, don't force too much chakra into the injury, you could deplete your chakra faster that way. So work with Sasu-chan on control exercises."

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and nodded, they then looked at her sheepishly and told her they'd be right back. Hinata waited patiently as the boys ran behind a tree and walked back with their hands behind their backs.

Hinata backed away at the sight of their smiles, "What do you have behind your backs?"

Naruto and Sasuke thrust their hands forward, containing a small baggie of chocolates and a fistful of crumpled daisies and lilies. "We just wanted to thank you for being so nice to us and training us all these years..."

Tears sprang to Hinata's eyes as she leapt forward and caught them both in a bone-crushing hug. "I should be the one saying thank you, Sasu-chan, Naruto-kun."

Hinata snapped out of her reverie and found herself staring off into the distance with a goofy grin on her face, she noticed it was close to sunset and bid the three boys farewell as she ran towards the Hyuga compound.

Hinata walked towards her father's study, freshly bathed and in a clean lavender kimono, she had no idea what Hiashi would want to discuss, but whatever it was, she wouldn't let him down.

Hinata knocked on the wood of the sliding rice paper door twice, she heard her father's stern voice call out, "Enter." Hinata slid the door open and stepped in the study, shutting the door behind her, Hinata made her way to the cushion that was placed in front of her father.

"Tou-sama."

"Hinata."

Hinata took a seat on the cushion, her legs tucked underneath her. "What would you like to speak about, Tou-sama?" Hiashi tensed slightly, but his face remained neutral.

"The Hokage has gotten word that Orochimaru is going to attempt to capture you again, we do not know when, but we want to keep you safe, so we will give you two options. You may either, give up on being a shinobi, but you may still be the leader of the Hyuga, or you can become a ninja, but lay low for about a month or so with the most dependable shinobi they have as your Sensei."

Hinata sat in silence, absorbing the information, on one hand, she could become the Hyuga leader and give up on missions and being on a team with her friends, or she could be a shinobi with a stronger Sensei who could protect her from a legendary sannin and have the risk of being captured for her eyes and clan secrets.

Each option had it's flaws and its advantages, but one choice was obviously the better choice, the safer way.

But Hinata had one goal in mind.

To make a better future.

And to do that, she would have to risk her own well being for the sake of her goal.

"I wish to be a shinobi, Tou-sama. While I know that it's not the safest option, I have to protect my precious people in this world, and to do that, I must be a shinobi." Hiashi nodded, a glimmer of pride flashed through his pupiless eyes.

"I respect your wishes, Hinata, but due to you still being in danger I must tell you the two shinobi who may be your Sensei. As we speak, they are being tested to see which of them would be better suited to protect you." Hinata, being the prodigy she was, immediately began thinking of the shinobi they would test.

"Who are they, Tou-sama?"

"Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi."

To say Hinata was shocked would be one hell of an understatement, she would've never thought that Uchiha Itachi could've been her Sensei.

So here she was, laying on her tatami mat in her large bedroom, thinking of the possibilities. Itachi had been her Sensei and still was, teaching her everything he knew, but Kakashi is someone she's never talked to, let alone trained under.

Hinata walked quietly out of her room and down the hallway towards her father's study, she had felt a non-Hyuga chakra enter the compound and assumed that it was a messenger to tell her father who her Sensei would be.

She snuck up to the door and discreetly dispelled the sound barrier that surrounded his office, she caught the last part of the conversation before she replaced the barrier and ran around a corner before her father noticed her as he walked the ANBU out of the compound.

"The test was successful, we have her Sensei."

"And who would that be?"

"Hatake Kakashi."
