Hinata´s contempt
It was finally the day of the Chunin exam finals and Konoha was a busy as it can be. Stands everywhere, tons of people promoting their busyness and even more people walking around the streets. Locals and visitors alike swarmed the hidden ninja village to assist to one of the few opportunities of watching Ninja do their Jutsu without being in danger of getting hurt.
The Konohagakure Arena, stadium for this kind of events, was full even before the event´s starting hour. Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the Kage box with no hurry. Today was going to be a long day, far too long for and old man such as himself.
"Kami-sama, ancestors, and souls of the previous Hokage… whoever is there… Don´t let the will of fire be extinguished today. Please guide me and my people through this dark day. Help us in this hours of need. Don´t let my people be defeated today. Please protect the youngest generations from the hatred and mistakes of the old fools." Prayed the Hokage before entering in the place reserved for the rulers of the hidden villages.
Moments later the Kazekage make his appearance with his bodyguards.
"Is Good to see you Kazekage-dono. I hope that the travel was safe and short for you." Greeted the older Kage.
"Yes, it was not too hard for me to come here. You are lucky that this time the exams are in your village. You are getting to old to travel Hokage-dono…" Answered the man with the veiled face.
"Bah, even if I wanted to quit there is no one ready to take my place… so I´ll be wearing the dam hat at least 5 more years" Sarutobi sighted in defeat. "Besides, I´m not that old."
"Bwajajajaja" A strong voice boomed entering the kage box. "You sure got spunk for someone of your age! I respect that!" The Raikage smirked offering a handshake to the veteran Hokage.
"Raikage-dono, I didn´t expect you to come here. As far as I know Kumogakure is no friend of Konoha…" Said the Kazekage. "Good, that gorilla will be more than happy to help me deal with Konoha asssss far assss I let him take sssssome prissssioners"
The imposing and tanned snorted. "And miss my cute Genin shaming the competition? No way. Besides is the perfect opportunity to test the results of the new training program that my brother bugged me to start. Is kind of an apprenticeship from before the end of the academy with willing Jonins. Only team B was able to come here… lucky you I guess. I have high hopes on them."
"Well, I hope they give us a good show. If they prove to be as good as you suggest they´ll inspire others to put more effort in their training."
"Well that makes it clear right? That is why they call you the professor hum? On another subject. Cen my assistant Karui-chan go to the participant's box like the other Genin?"
"Of course. Cat!" The cat masked ANBU appeared behind the old Hokage. "Please escort young Karui-san to the participant´s box." The cat ANBU nodded and motioned to Karui to follow her.
The corridor before the participant´s box.
"Yo team! How are we? Ready to kick ass?" Shouted Karui to team B who were about to enter.
Naruto was about to speak when Cat took a step forward and bowing said: "Thank you. ANBU rules don´t let me say nor do more. But thank you for saving Hayate." And Cat vanished in a swirl of leaves.
Flashback
Bee just found Hayate fighting The Suna Jonin Baki. He was about to intervene when Baki´s Wind sword pierced thru Hayate´s chest. The Suna ninja flew immediately after.
"Oh man oh man! Stay with me YO!" Said Bee opening the downed man´s clothes to better see the wound. "Oh shit! His lung ought to be damaged! What to do… what to do…"
"Bee! Use the ecstasy seal Naruto designed!" "I don´t know how to draw that Eight-o!" "But I can contact Kurama so she send us the steps fool!" Bee comically hammered one hand with the other. "Ready? Let´s do this."
"Ninja art: Biju ink sealing: Ecstasy seal" Bee spited out a fist sized glob of ink ant then stamped it with his hand against a scroll. In a puff of smoke Hayate´s body disappeared and some weird writings appeared in said scroll.
"Tell Naruto to alert the Hokage and to call for the best medics in the village. We are rushing to the Sarutobi states!" The Hachibi grunted in agreement and informed his sister.
As fast as Bee entered the Sarutobi states he found Hinata in her pyjamas with a very serious expression. "Fast bring him to the dojo!" She ordered.
"Haku you are to use that jutsu. Is his only chance of surviving, so don´t worry about failing. If you don´t try he is dead." Commanded Hinata.
"I´ve only try with small animals… N-sama, provide me with additional chakra please." Said Haku kneeling and getting ready to work. Naruto kneeled behind Haku and putted a hand on his shoulder applying the chakra transferring seal.
The Hokage watched in amazement how Bee unsealed the body of the dying shinobi while Haku did a really long sequence of seals. "Ninja art: Cryogenesis decree." Whispered the long haired boy and a thick white fog leaked from his right sleeve covering Hayate´s body. Then, with the sickening sound of ice forming and grinding against itself, a glass transparent ice coffin formed around the fallen ninja trapping him inside.
As the deed was done the personal medics of the Hokage entered the dojo. Hinata glared at them and ordered: "This man has a perforation from chest to back by a wind jutsu. Clean cut thru! Muscular tissue is to be reattached as well as the bones, Major veins and arteries are to be mended to stop him from bleeding to death and his left lung fixed. You´ll be operating near the heart so proceed with maximum care. Haku-san will be using his ice jutsu to keep the body from dying until your work is done, meanwhile I´ll use my eyes to guide you. Should you not follow my directions the wound will degenerate due to frostbite. Ready when you are." Hinata deployed an Eye memory seal scroll and activated her Byakugan to offer precise images of the insides of Hayate´s body.
As Hinata was barking orders directing the efforts to save the Konoha Jonin, Bee approached the Hokage. "Impressive ain´t she? And yet her clan deemed her useless. Strong, intelligent and compassionate. I promised her to introduce her to our head med-ninja as soon as she reaches Chunin, yet she started studying anatomy for her fighting style and to learn med-ninjutsu. I dare to say that I rather let her heal me with civilian methods than an accomplished civilian medic." Bee grinned mischievously. "Her cousin and her clan aren´t ready for the wakeup call that she will dish in the arena."
Back in the arena.
All the Genin where in the arena except Sasuke when Genma Shiranui raised his hand to get the attention of everyone in the stadium.
"Welcome everyone to the finals of the Genin exams! This year we got some interesting Chunin prospects form Oto, Kumo, Suna and Konoha. Please welcome this young promises." Said the Hokage amplifying his voice. The whole place clapped and praised the aspirants. The old leader gestured to the proctor and seated back in his place.
"Right… Let´s start with this. All but Neji Hyuga and H Uzumaki go back to the participant's box."
As soon as the other Genin cleared the arena Genma announced chakra enhancing his voice so everyone could listen to his words. "Let´s start the first battle of today´s schedule. Neji of the Hyuga clan of Konohagakure VS H Uzumaki of Kumogakure." The name Uzumaki brought murmurs between the clans of Konoha. "Both ready?" They nodded.
"Hajime!"
Neji started pacing to Hinata with hard eyes and utter distaste. "Fate has deem me worthy of punishing you traitor. I knew who you were the same moment I saw you for the first time and the Hyuga council confirmed my suspicions. You are a fool! How do you dare to come back! How dare you wear that headband? YOU! THE BIGGEST DISGRACE IN OUR CLAN´S HISTORY! But don´t worry… I will erase you… For our clan´s glory! … And for my Father!"
Hinata sighted, and adopted her battle stance cancelling the Perfect henge. There, for all to see, stood Hinata Uzumaki. With her short sleeved black Kimono jacket and her black tight pants. Her arms covered in ninja mesh from the fingerless gloves to the elbow, where the kimono started. Her Hitai-ate as a belt and her black ninja sandals. Raven blue hair to her middle back and lavender tinted Byakugans gleaming. An air of royalty in her features as she glared to her long lost cousin.
"I don´t know you Puppet and you don´t know me either. I am not who your elders told you. And you are not the child of the man I called uncle… You don´t deserve to call him father." Hinata said in a calm tone.
"HOW DARE YOU! YOU! YOU BETRAYER! KNOW THIS HINATA HYUGA! I´LL KILL YOU! NOT BECAUSE OF THE ELDERS ORDERS! BUT BECAUSE YOU DON´T DESERVE THE AIR YOU BREATH!" Neji managed to recompose himself. "You, once the princes of the Hyuga clan are going to die like a stray dog. And no main branch member will save you after your betrayal." Hissed the male activating his bloodline and taking his fighting stance.
"Sorry… but Hinata of the Hyuga is already dead. I am Hinata of the Uzumaki… I am not the betrayer but the betrayed." Hinata eyes activated as she focused all her repressed resentment in the puppet she was about to beat.
In the stands
Luckily for the Hyuga elders it was practically impossible to hear what the fighters were saying because of the people talking around them. Because there was Hiashi Hyuga who had decided that it would benefit her "only" daughter to see what the prodigy of the clan was capable of.
"Pay attention Hanabi, for this is the pride and power of our clan. Our battle prowess. Not our money or our influence, our seer power."
"I´ll pay attention father… I´ll see how the sister our clan took off me, the so called failure, beats Neji to the ground!"
In the competitors box
"Oh man oh man! That guy is fucked. He´s beating will be so hot that not even his clan will be able to recognize him!" Said Karui grabbing the rail.
"How do you know that?" Asked Temari curious about the other possible opponents.
"That is easy. My hime is angry…" Both Naruto and Karui flinched remembering the few occasions when Hinata had actually get angry. "She is usually gentle but… well… he is fucked."
"Yep, that is the hottest way to summarize it I guess." Karui shrugged as if it was the most obvious thing ever.
Kage box
The Kage and their bodywards, who thanks to the micro that Genma had where able to hear the conversation, where looking with interest. The "Kazekage" had no clue about the missing Hyuga. The Hokage was ashamed knowing the truth behind the Hyuga feud and the Raikage was simply smirking.
"Look at this! Someone has been a naughty boy eh, Raikage-dono? Don't try to deny it, that smirk betrays you." Said the Kazekage.
"Bah! You know nothing about H-chan´s situation! But we didn´t kidnap her. Now pay attention! You will see my Uzumaki no Hime dish a royal beating to that fool. It´s been long since the last time she´s been this pissed and that only can mean pain overdoses for everyone who crosses her." A stretched in his seat. "This is going to be quite a show. Hiruzen-dono watch what the discarded heiress can do with a bit of encouraging."
"This is going to be troublesome. Oh now I sound like a Nara. Tsk the Hyuga will make an uproar because of this… but that girl has then by their… well… gonads?"
Back in the arena.
Neji charged throwing quick jabs and palm strikes in rapid successions not giving time for a counter attack. But he was unable to strike the girl in front of him. Each attack was dodged with grace or countered with no effort. Every time he repositioned himself she just spun around him. It was like if she was dancing instead of fighting, it was taunting… it was Infuriating.
"Stop playing around and fight dam it!"
"But why? Aren't you the prodigy of the clan oh dear Puppet? Are you having problems to strike me? Me the talentless, spineless and weak ex-heiress? Aren´t you fated to beat me?" Hinata taunted with venom in each word.
"SHUT UP TRASH! I´ll end you today! It´s fated! I´ll show you tale….." Neji was not able to finish as he had to dodge the basketball sized water projectiles that Hinata´s Water release: Water gun. He was about to mock her jutsu when one of the projectiles landed in the floor leaving a small crater.
"That jutsu packs quite a punch. In just as if as someone with a big ass hammer stroked the floor there" Thought Genma.
"Let´s see what have you learned… Water release: Water gun barrage!" Hinata spited several volleys of the same jutsu cornering Neji against a tree.
"Ninja art: Medusa´s mane" Said Hinata bowing to the point to near touching the floor with her head. When she raised it, water tendrils from the water used in the previous techniques followed latching themselves to her hair. "Water release: Multiple water whips!" Whispered the girl and a myriad of whip flung to Neji.
"Kaiten!" Shouted the boy spinning and turning into a rotating dome of blue chakra.
"You see! Is useless. I am the prodigy of the Hyuga! I, Neji of the branch house! I´ve been able to reverse engineering the secrets of the main house! Your efforts are futile Kumo scum!"
This time, as everyone was in silence, his words where heared. Hiashi frowned at the hate in his nephew's voice. Every ninja how knew about the Hyuga customs where stunned at the seer amount of talent to achieve such deed.
"Oh poo!" Childlike chirped Hinata shrugging. "I guess I´ll have to take you serious then."
Neji was seeing red. So angry he was that he did the most un-Hyuga-like thing ever. He threw several kunai with explosive tags to his opponent.
"Way of the lake: vortex bubble!" A bubble like blue sphere appeared around Hinata spinning in all directions while she stood still inside. "Looks like it was a good idea to apply the first step of the Rasengan to this jutsu. Now is even more powerfull" Thought the pale eyed maiden as the blasts were repelled by her bubble. The spectators roared in approval while all the Hyugas but Hanabi watched how someone taunted their ultimate defense.
"Grrrr you! YOU! This is the last offense you throw at us! Prepare to DIEEEE!" Roared Neji preparing himself to use his best jutsu.
"Well then… time to get serious right? Byakugan!"
"What! That´s impossible! She has not managed to avoid all my attacks with her bloodline off hasn´t she? It doesn´t matter! I´m ending this right now!"
"This game has last too long! Fate has decreed that I will be victorious… That I will restore the Hyuga honour. And for that, you´ll have to die!" Hissed the enraged teen.
"One-sama be safe" Prayed Hanabi from the stands.
"Eight trigrams: 64 palms!" / " "Way of the tides: Dance of the waves!" Both shouted at the same time.
"2 palms! 4 palms!" Neji rushed forward but Hinata just move like a pendulum while blocking his strikes.
"8 palms! 16 palms!" Neji keep trying but he could not predict the movements of his enemy therefore he was not able to strike. And he could barely avoid the counterattacks.
"32 palms!"
"Is useless Puppet. You cannot beat me. For you are just a doll in the hands of a council so corrupt by their greed that they have no problems in using everyone around them with no remorse." Said Hinata quietly so only he could hear it.
"64 palms!" Cried Neji in desperation. But once again his jabs did not find target. And to his utter horror her technique did not end like his.
"Ask your council about why are so afraid of me than instead of a trial they send you to do their dirty work." Said Hinata while delivering chakra enhanced strikes either to his tenketsu to close them or to his body just to punish him.
"You said that I betrayed you?! I was denied my birthright!" More strikes.
"They denied me my mother´s jutsu! Ask them while they search and destroyed all the scrolls she left for me. At least all they were able to find." Hinata delivered a chakra infused kick to his stomach damaging his insides and chakra network alike.
"Ask them why they feared a little girl! Why they did everything on their hands to destroy my inner confidence! Ask them why they made me fight my little sister, the same sister I practically raised, and yet they belittled me for not hurting her!" Hinata´s blows where vicious but designed to just be painful not to kill Neji.
"Ask them about the beatings, the insults and how they hurt everyone who was nice to me with the three times cursed seal they use as both shield and sword." Hinata glared at him and for a moment Neji felt like he was in front of the Shinigami himself.
"You disgust me" Hinata´s assault ended and Neji, still standing, was in a new definition of a world of pain. "You mindless Puppet, blaming everyone for your own misfortune but doing nothing. Using the concept of Fate as a shield to scape reality. You are worse than a caged bird, you´re a bird who chooses to remain caged and sings for his jailors." Hinata dropped her stance and started at the mangled prodigy.
"Ask my father about what happened in that night… and ask him about your father´s last will." Neji´s eyes betrayed him allowing Hinata to know who shocked he was. "Even the Hyuga slaves have the right to let their possession in inheritance to their children. But worry not, I am sure that your clan head still keeps his brother´s last wills and the letter he wrote to you."
The Uzumaki girl´s eyes turned hard again. "But before I leave let me show you all how mistaken you were. This is the power I was denied. Feel in your own flesh what I could have been. Way of the tides: Undertow!" Hinata closed her right fist and part of the chakra she injected in Neji went out of his body. Hundreds of chakra bursts covered the boy´s body as the foreign chakra outed. His agonic silent scream, even if it was not heard, was somehow felled by everyone. Neji hit the ground and just before he lost his consciousness Hinata whispered. "Remember this. I could have ended you. But I have not return to punish the clan but the ones who betrayed me"
Hinata just leaved the arena as Genma announced her as the victor. High in the stands the Hyuga shivered uncomfortably for different reason, all except of a young girl worshiping her elder sister.
"Hinata-onesama is so strong, so beautiful… like a warrior princes out of a fairy tale..."
In the competitors box
"Ho-hot. Wow, I´ve never seen H-chan dish punishment so harsly. Wow that was brutal and sooooo one sided!" Said Karui.
"H-sama is indeed the kunoichi princes of Kumogakure… but I´ve never seen her intentionally hurt someone instead of simply disabling them." Commented Haku.
"Yep, that´s my love!" Chirped Naruto happy that her wife had blown some of her piled up frustration in the match.
As soon as Hinata arrived Naruto warped her in a hug congratulating her about her flawless performance. Meanwhile Kankuro and Temari sighted in relief knowing that she was not with Konoha.
"Such a strong female. She could be a worthy sacrifice for mother."
"That was troublesome indeed. She just mopped the floor with that Neji guy and she didn´t even get hit once. What is even more worrying is that she wasted little chakra… like… NO! … It can be! She was holding back! This Kumo team is full of monsters." Thought a worried Shikamaru.
Far from there Ino and the rest of the rookies were speechless. Lee and Gai, who at the start of the fight were speaking about how unyouthful Neji was being about the Kumo kunoichi were now too stunned to try to shout their nonsenses. Tenten was worried for her teammate.
Sakura however was feeling reassured in her believe that the Kumo girls where demons in human skin.
Kage box.
"That´s ma girl. Chunin for sure!" Roared a happy Raikage rooting for his team.
"Impressive…" Said the disguised Sanin. "Maybe I should mark this one too."
"Well, your elite Genin project clearly shows promise. That was quite a show. And yes, I agree. That girl is Chunin material. Tell me, what where those techniques she was using?" Asked the old Hokage.
"Oh! That? Jejejeje. Those are young H-chans ways of the water. Her own original water based Nin-taijutsu. Lethal and graceful. She combines her mother´s Juho, the Juken for water chakra natured ninja, with the principles behind my Nin-taijutsu and dancing. A deadly cocktail that targets both, punishing the body and targeting the insides and chakra network. She is a naightmare to fight in close quarters and she manages in mid and long range battles." A was swelling with pride with every word he spoke.
Infirmary.
While everyone cheered, dreaded or simply admired the results of the match Hiashi of the Hyuga left his place and went to the infirmary to check on his nephew. He had to know who that girl was! And he had to fix is long broken bound with the little family he had left.
"Hyuga-sama! The patient needs to rest. Please I need you to leave." She was about to say more when the Hyuga clan head raised his hand making her stop.
"I know… don´t worry. I just want to check on my nephew. And congratulate him on learning his jutsu, even if he has lost, at my eyes he has proven himself more capable than he is credited for."
It was not common to heard of a main branch Hyuga speak high of the defeated. Much less the Head himself. Taking advantage of the shocked state of the nurse Hiashi entered the room where Neji was resting.
"Hiashi-sama!" Neji made an effort to rise but Hiashi put a hand on his chest keeping him from rising.
"Rest Neji. You have received quite a beating. I am proud of you, even if you were defeated, you showed real talent and skill there."
Hiashi was about to say more when a depressed Neji spoke: "I… She was toying with me. She call my puppet and she is right. I am nothing but a puppet and a coward… I have been so wrong." Neji was crying. His tears hurt Hiashi´s heart. Father and son were so alike.
"I need to know Neji. Who is she?"
"So is true. Everything she said is true if they didn´t tell you who she is." Neji took a note from his ninja pouch. There, written with a beautiful calligraphy, was a message for both of them. Neji, I am sure that the clan Head will ask you about me. Tell him that I was betrayed by the clan, and to do nothing. Those who betrayed me will pay, but the rest of the Hyuga have nothing to fear. The Hokage knows who I am and what happened to me. I ask you to trust me and be patient. The truth will not be hidden for those with the white eyes.
"She… she is Hinata. And the elders asked me to kill her…" More tears came from Neji´s eyes. "She told me to ask somethings to them… can you forgive me Hiashi-sama? I was so blind, so furious…"
"Yes… and when we are alone please… call me Uncle." Responded the stoic leader. But inside he was a mess.
"Please, tell me about why they fear Hinata, about her mother's style… and about father´s letter… uncle." Begged the young one.
"Neji… I see now that I should have done this years ago… forgive me for being such a fool." Hiashi sighted and started to tell the last days of his beloved brother.
