Side Story – Friends

Destiny

Destiny was something Hinata had accepted since that day her father voluntary die to
protect the village. It was also the very same day she fallen from grace and seal her fate.
From the heiress of the clan to a life where she must live alone in the branch house and
survive like a spineless worm under the gaze of the formal branch member of the Hyuga
house.

Time when Hinata has wish she has at least some courage or the strength to stand up for
herself, or at least time like now.

"K-Kaiton-sama! I-I am sorry!!" The white eye girl apologies as she quickly pull Hyuga
Kaiton up from his fallen position.

Slap!!

"Hn! Get you dirty hands off me?" The second in line branch house member said rudely
while he slowly lift himself up. When he stood up he noticed Hinata was taking a load of
paper, out of curious he asked, "Tell me where you are going?"

"I…I was going to gather information f-for my g-genin test tomorrow."

"Genin test?" The white eyes boy grin, "I see…I suppose now you are about to do some
research now ne?"

"…errr yes?" HInata answer hesitately while a strange unknown unease feeling began to
grow stir within her.

"Great! I have my test tomorrow too…so why don't you get me the information I need
first?" Kaiton said cheerfully.

"B-But I have my…"

"Test? Don't tell me you actually had the intention to take the test?" said the white eyes
boy in a mock disbelieve tone as he laugh.

"Hinata, Hinata, I taught you should know by now loser like yourself shouldn't stand
here and pretending to be a ninja. Hell, you are a disgrace to even bare the name Hyuga. I
doubt you know this, but never in history of Hyuga had a loser who is so worthless and
can't even master the most basic of Jyuuken before their first mature celebrating
ceremony."

"I…" tears began to well up from the timid girl eyes.

"What? You think the enemy will back out if you shed a few tears? Save it Hinata, you
simply are…!" The white eyes boy was cut short when he suddenly lose his balance and
fall flat on his face.

"Who do that?" Turning around, the white eyes boy saw a pair of blue eyes glaring him.
"Oh? Well isn't the millennium dead last Uzamaki Naruto? Go away! This is none of
your business."

"So? I am making this my business!"

"Oh? Someone is trying to be a hero ne? Well let me rephrase my sentence so you don't
get any wrong idea, Uzamaki Naruto if you don't want to get your ass kick you better
watch that mouth of yours and get going now!"

"Hn, bring it on!" Stat Naruto as he put up an offensive stance.

"You think you can fight against me? Hyuga Kaiton."

"Hn, we will see about that punk!" That was the last word Naruto needed to say as both
boys charge.

Before the boys' fist and palm could meet, a white blur enter between of them and the
next thing the boys know, they were sent off sailing to opposite direction. As both boys
recover from their fall, they noticed a new comer who looks like a mature version of
Kaiton standing between them. However everyone could instantly differentiate them by
their mere present alone. The new comer radiates an aura that no one will doubt he is the
next leader of Hyuga clan. The famous Hyuga Neji. The youngest genius Hyuga who
managed master all the Hyuga techniques and rumors that he will be the one who will
bring the Hyuga clan techniques to the next step.

"What is going on here?" he demand in a quite but authority tone.

"N-neji oniisama! W-why are you here…" The white eyes boy said in a shutter voice as
he knew he will be really in deep trouble if the older boy finds out what happen here.

"Are you deaf? I said what is going on here. Not why am I here. Now speak up and the
answer is better be good or else." The older boy said as he active his Byakugan.

"I-I…" Shutter the boy as he can't seem to bring himself to finished his sentence under
the intimidate gaze of his brother.

"Than let me answer this for you Hyuga Kaiton, you not only insult your cousin, but you
also bring shame to the family by attacking a fellow Leaf member. Did I miss anything
here?"

"N—no." the younger Hyuga now hang his head in shame and fear.

"Good, now get to the dojo now and warm up yourself, it is obvious to me that you have
much too much energy to spare if you can goof around."

"B-But my exam is tomorrow and I..." Kaiton pled.

"I say GET TO THE DOJO NOW!!!" The older Hyuga boy raise his voice slightly while
his eyes seems to almost burning to the younger Hyuga even the fact it was still pure
white to the rest of those who are there.

"HAI!" was the last word before Kaiton run as if his ass was on fire.

As the younger Hyuga boy run off everyone vision, the older boy turn toward Hinata
"Hinata…" said the older Hyuga boy as he bow to the timid girl.

"N-Neji-sama." Hinata wide her eyes in surprise as she couldn't believe the heir of
Hyuga clan would bow to anyone.

"I am sorry for Kaiton behavior…this time I will make sure he will not bother you
again." Confirm Neji before he walk off, than he stopped and turn around.
"Hinata…congratulate on your premier test…" was the last word he say before he vanish.

"T-thank you…Neji-sama…" Hinata said sincerely as she bow to the direction where the
Hyuga heir left.

"Yo! Earth to Hinata?"

"H-Hai!! Naruto-san!" The pearl eyes girl blushed as she noticed how close Naruto was
beside her.

"Lets go, I will treat you some ramen…" said the blonde hair boy cheerfully as he drag
the white eyes girl to the ramen shop without even giving her the chance to refuse.

Hyuga Neji walk calmly toward his destination, and yelled out in annoyed, "Witch come
out now, I know you are here."

As he finished yelling, a white smoke appear revealing Uzamaki Aura in the center with a
big mischievous smile. "So Neji-chan, enjoy being the Hero saving demise in trouble?"

"Witch, don't test my patient…else." threaten Neji .

"Else you will what Neji-chan." The white hair girl decidedly to tease further, ignoring
how angry the Hyuga Heir appear to be.

"Else I will not give you this." Neji say evilly as he revealed a file on his hand.

Aura merely grin wider, as she yelled mockingly, "FRIENDS OF KONOHA,
EVERYONE WHO CAN HEAR ME, DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW THAT HYUGA NEJI
LOVE…hmmmm…" as Aura was cut short when she was rudely interrupt by a
tomato head Neji stuffing the file in her mouth. The blue eyes girl pulled out the file from
her mouth in annoyed.

"Uzamaki Aura…you promise me you will not mention 'that' to anyone…" the pearl
eyes boy hiss partially due to anger, partially due to fear.

The Uzamaki girl merely pulled out the file and giggle softly. "Now, now Neji-chan
don't you worried your secret is safe with me…now let me see what is inside this baby
you bring me…"

"Grr…" sighing heavily, the white eyes boy decide it was useless to argue with the white
hair girl since she always win no matter what he try to outwit her. "So Aura mind if you
tell me why you want me call up a favor for this Ataru person information?"

"N…no it was nothing actually…just a hunch." Aura answer as she busy digging into the
information she just received.

"A hunch? Now that was a rare sight from the great Aura Hime who always base logic
than guts feeling. Mind if you enlighten me why?"

Aura closed the file as looked at Neji with a serious look and counter asked, "Tell me
Neji, if someone enter into your divination without you knowing it, how will you feel…"

"Ahhh…I see, but frankly speaking I am quite interested in this Ataru character as well, I
believe you finished reading the file I gave you. Will you find it strange?"

"Yes, the date of birth and his gender, mission accomplish was all unknown, it was like
there is someone deliberately tries to cover and erase this man entire existence. It was say
his first appearance was roughly where the first Hokage pass the Hokage name to his
brother. And mission that he had achieve is odd too." Aura said.

"Indeed, the mission he had completed are rank D or rank C. which was meant for Genin
to do."

"And consider that during the time when the hidden leaf was just establish was during the
warring period. I doubt there is much C and D mission for a jounin…" Aura pause
slightly. "Furthermore…his age…and appearance…I have spy on him for half a day
since he dismiss us, but I can find no indication he used any genjutsu nor mask…which
bring up another question how he maintain that that young look?"

"Exactly, not that I want to boost, but Hyuga clan information are one of the most
complete one around beside the Anbu's information…if the Hyuga can't dig some dirt
from this man…I think you should be really careful for tomorrow test..." as Neji finished,
he noticed one thing, the suppose his advice benefactor was long gone with the report.
The Hyuga heir cursed inward and than he sighed, "Witch just be careful K…"

AN: I am sorry I didn't update for so long but look at the good news I finally got the
chapter out…now for the real fun, Gennin exam of the infamous Ataru… I have two
suggestion right now in my mind, but I would love to hear what you guys would suggest.

know very well what I am going to suggest)
