Note: I don't own Naruto.

Ok, this has nothing to do with my original fics, this is based off the anime as it exists. I just saw 166 and thought I should write how things should go after Naruto comes back to the village from the battle with Pein. Seeing how it is they add some different stuff in the anime from the manga I figure why not. Trying to do the story as if I were pitching it to the studio. I'm trying to think like the studios and follow the original story-line. This fic is not intended to be long, and one thing I might have planned for it, I know for a fact they wouldn't put even in the anime. I'm just brain-storming so bare with me.

I am also experimenting with a new idea of having a song from original soundtrack play during certain scenes. If you don't know the songs, I'm sure you can find out.

Hinata and Naruto were practicing light open spar, they were not in Sage mode however. Once again it was Hinata's Gentle Fist against Naruto's Frog Kata.

Hinata noticed Naruto was alittle off, that something was on his mind. " N-Naruto-kun, are you ok?"

Naruto looked at her, he took a deep sigh. " Hinata-chan, Why didn't you tell me your father disowned you?"

Hinata froze. " How.."

" Gai-sensei told me. Neji told him. "

Hinata looked at him. " Naruto-kun, it's not what you think."

" Why didn't you tell me?" Naruto said.

"I-I didn't want to get you worked up."

" You saved your father's ass and he disowns you? What the hell is that guy's problem?"

Hinata was silent. " Naruto-kun, he did it to protect me."

Naruto looked at her oddly. " Protect you? Why'd you need protection?"

" He did it so I would not be marked with the branch seal." Hinata said.

Naruto remembered back to seeing Neji's branch seal at the Chuunin exams.

" That? Why would they place that on you?" Naruto said.

" It's, well... it's a long story."

(Setting Sun plays in the background.)

" Isn't he the leader? He could have just said no." Naruto said.

Hinata sighed as she lowered her head. " Naruto-kun, it doesn't work that way."

" Why are you defending him?" Naruto said.

" He did it for good reason."

" No..." Naruto said. "..there's no good reason to disown your own daughter. I've heard you two didn't have a good relationship but... even so, anyone who just throws their own family away like that, especially after they save your life...those are the worst kind of scum."

Hinata's face lit up, at first utter surprise, then slowly to a stern manner. " My father is not scum. You don't even know him." She said sternly.

" I know what he did, I know how he treated you and that's enough the way I see it." Naruto said.

"...how dare you." Hinata said.

Naruto was shocked.

" Passing judgement on him like that. Who do you think you are? He's very grateful for what I did for him. If he wasn't, he would have just let me be sealed."

" What the hell is it with your screwed up family and this freakin' seal?"

Hinata took offense to Naruto referring to her family as "screwed up". Hinata turned and walked away.

" Where are you going?" Naruto said.

" I do not want to talk to you right now."

" Yeah, that's the problem..." Naruto said.

Hinata spun and looked at him, her eyes widened.

" I mean if you had just told me what happened to you, rather than having to find out from someone else, maye I would have reacted differently. But as usual you don't open up to me."

Hinata opened her mouth, she was about to say something but she became so upset she was at a loss for words. She turned around and left.

Naruto thought he might have crossed a line. " Hinata-chan I.." But it was too late, she walked away.

Later...

" I'm not the one who disowned her." Naruto said to Fukasaku. " I heard from Ko that her father kinda treated her like crap, so why is she so pissed at me?"

" (sigh) The Hyuuga are still using that branch seal? They really are stuck in the past." Fukasaku said. He sighed. " Better go apologize."

" Apologize? For what?" Naruto said.

" Because, you don't know the full story. If Hina-chan says that her father did it to protect her then I believe her."

" But he's the leader, can't he just decide she doesn't get sealed? Did he really have to go so far as to disown her?"

"Naru-chan, the Hyuuga have a council of elders."

" Elders?"

"Right, and if they put something to a vote. Even the leader's word can get trumped."

" This is one confusing clan!" Naruto said scratching his head.

" You still have to tell her yer sorry."

Naruto sighed.

Later, Hinata sat in Sage position at the edge of a lake. Naruto walked over and sat beside her. Hinata broke her concentration and looked down at the lake.

" I shouldn't have called him scum, sorry about that." Naruto said.

Hinata said nothing.

" And...if you say he really had no choice...I believe you."

" Arigato.." Hinata said

" Hinata-chan...you know..I just really get mad about things like that."

Hinata looked over at him.

" I never grew up with a family so...if my parents were alive...I'd accept the fact that they weren't perfect. I've talked to them to, and I know they'd accept me with my flaws."

" Your parents?" Hinata asked.

" Oh yeah..." Naruto smiled. " That's right, I never told you. Turns out my old man was the 4th."

Hinata froze. " ..." She remembered back to seeing a picture of the 4th Hokage, and noticed that his hair was practically identical to the boy she liked.

" Are you serious?" Hinata asked.

Naruto frowned at her. " Well it's not that unbelievable that I'd be related to someone so strong." He pouted.

" No-no, I mean...actually, it makes sense now. You look alot like him."

" Heh...maybe I got his hair, but my Mom said I have her face."

" How did you talk to them?" Hinata asked.

" Well uhh, that's a long story."

Later...

Naruto was talking with Bee on the Kumo-island.

"But Hinata-chan and I are cool about it now." Naruto said.

" Sounds like you and your girl just had your first fight." Bee said.

Naruto became flushed with red. " H-Hinata-chan's not my "girl"."

" Now at least her daddy ain't gonna come lookin' to cut your head off."

" Yeah, well I guess that's good. But...when I do become Hokage...that branch seal, that's the first thing I'm gonna deal with. I guess if it weren't for that, Hinata-chan wouldn't have gotten disowned."

Bee thought back to the Hyuuga incident over 10 years ago.

(((Flashback)))

A young Killer Bee sat at a table along with his brother the Raikage and the council of Kumo members.

" So what? Serves that dumbass right for trying to kidnapp a kid." Bee said.

" Bee! That's not the point! The point is they killed a Kumo-nin! They violated the treaty!"

" And what'd he do by kidnappin' Hyuuga Hinata Big Bro?"

" Bee-sama, they have no proof of that whatsoever." Said a Kumo shinobi. " That's just what they say."

The Raikage slammed his fist on the table making it crack. " There is only one way to make amends for this. I want Hyuuga Hiashi's head!"

(((End Flashback)))

" hmph, I should meet Hinata-hime some time." Bee said.

" Ne?"

" I figure someone owes her an apology."

" I already said I-"

" I meant me..." Bee said.

The next day...

As Naruto and Hinata sat on tiles talking at high points of Mt. Myoboku Hinata learned more from Naruto about his battle with the Kyuubi and meeting his mother. She also learned of the first obstacle Naruto had to face before he confronted the Kyuubi.

" Falls of truth...?" Hinata asked.

" That's how I confronted my true self, and I kicked his ass."

Hinata seemed interested. " That...that does sound amazing."

"Hm?" Naruto looked at Hinata. " Hey Hinata-chan, you should try it some time."

Hinata seemed hesitant. " Maybe..." She said half-heartedly.

" I bet you'd overcome it easy." Naruto said.

" Well, I don't know about that."

" Aww come on, you just gotta believe you can do it." Naruto said.

Hinata nodded.

" Hey!" Naruto exclaimed. " I can take you to the island with the Yellow Flash Technique! Hinata-chan, if you manage to do it, it might help you get stronger."

Hinata looked to the lower right. From what Naruto tells her, she would have to face her true self, she didn't know what she'd be confronted with.

" Besides..." Naruto said. " Bee-san wants to meet you."

" Naruto-kun..." Hinata started. " Kumogakure..they did try to kidnap me when I was 3."

" Yeah, I know, that's part of the reason Bee wants to meet you, so he could apologize about the whole thing. I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Hinata looked down, then back up at Naruto.

Later, Naruto appeared in a yellow flash carrying Hinata. They appeared right beside Naruto's clone which had a seal tag in it's lap.

" Naruto-kun, when they see me, they'll know you've been sneaking off the island."

" Nah, If Yamato-sensei finds out he won't get mad, but I just wanna introduce you to Bee-san then we'll be out." Naruto said.

" Well..I guess." Hinata said.

Next scene shows Naruto knocking on Bee's door. " Yo Bee-san! Open up Yo!" Naruto said.

The door opened and Hinata beheld a very large man before her eyes.

" Naruto..what's cra-" Be then saw before him a small girl beside Naruto with Byakugan eyes.

(((Flashback)))

Bee held a picture of 3 year old Hinata. " So this is her Bro?"

" Hai."

" We 'bout to take this baby's father away, that fool he killed had no family, and to tell the truth nobody really liked his ass."

" He was our comrade! I expect you to remember him as such!" Said the Raikage.

(((End Flashback)))

" Konichiwa Bee-sama, Naruto-kun has told me alot about you. I'm.."

" Hyuuga Hinata." Bee said. " I know.."

Bee looked to Naruto. " What's the matter wit you fool? When I said meet her, I didn't mean a.s.a.p., I meant after we kill Akatsu-ki." Bee rhymed.

" Yeah I know Bee-san, but I wanted to show her the falls of truth. I figured you'd be cool with it."

Bee sighed as he rubbed his hand over the top of his head. He just knew his brother would be pissed with him over this. He then looked to Hinata a partial smile came onto his face as he extended his fist to Hinata.

Hinata was obviously confused by this, since she is not used to such greetings.

" Come on white-eyed girl, don't leave me hangin'" Bee said.

Hinata came to the realization to bump fists, which she did happily.

" That aint' all." Bee said.

Hinata looked at him confused.

" If we gonna make a truce, you need to bust a rhyme wit' me." Bee said.

Hinata became extremely embarrassed. " a-a rhyme?"

A sweatdrop came down Naruto's head. " seriously..?"

(record plays.)

" Yo! That chump tried to snatch you he had to be stopped! When your daddy stepped in that Kumo-fool got dropped!"

Hinata looked up at Bee comedically white-eyed. Bee looked down at her, apparently it was her turn now.

" umm.. i'll try" she shyly said.

( record plays again.)

"m-My father was out of line when he killed your man.." Hinata became flushed red. She looked up at Bee. " After that, the Raikage wasn't his -number-one-fan?"

(record scratches...)

Bee looks at Hinata, not a word comes from his lips. Naruto looked at Hinata with a bizarre expression on his face.

" Umm gomen-asai, I'm not very lyrical." Hinata said.

Naruto looked at Bee expecting him to be somewhat insulted.

A smile came onto Bee's face. " Yo, don't sweat it. Good enough."

" Hey! How come when I messed up you just slammed the door in my face?" Naruto complained.

" Hinata-hime, come have a soda with me." Bee said inviting her in.

" a-arigato." Hinata smiled bowing.

Naruto just stood there wondering why Bee didn't answer his question.

After Hinata had some time to get acquainted with Bee, Naruto kept his word as to where he would take her if she ever came to the island.

Naruto, Hinata and Bee stood before the Falls of Truth.

" This is place reveals to you your true self." Naruto said.

Hinata gazed at the waterfall.

" Hinata-chan, I'm just showing you. You don't have to do it now, maybe wait 'til you really feel you're ready."

Hinata continued her gaze."Naruto-kun..I want to try.."

" But..Hinata-chan.." Naruto said.

" If I fail..I'll just try again some other time." Hinata said.

Naruto looked at her. "well..alright."

Hinata slowly took her first step towards the waterfall. For a moment, all she could hear was the running of the water.

" Naruto-kun?" Hinata called out, only to hear no response.

She focused on the water rushing down before her. Suddenly she saw a small figure emerging from behind the waterfall. As it walked past, Hinata's face filled with shock.

" The Hyuuga Sage?" Said the figure. " What an unfitting nickname for a loser like you."

Hinata's eyes widened in horror. Before her stood her 9-year old self.

A/N: FYI, Final chapter will be coming soon.

I'll try to come up with new things here, but like I said, with exception to a few things, I'm gonna try to keep it within the original anime. R&R
