The universe of reflection was the most dizzying, unruly thing Hinata had ever seen. She tried to use her Byakugan but it confused her even more because of the rippling objects and walls of every color that decided to dance with every of her movements. The only thing that wasn't moving around was the form of the Blind man's reflection. But there was something that set this man apart from his blind counterpart, and that was his fully working dark-blue eyes. That and he seemed a lot more lively.
"He is quite boring, isn't he?" he looked at her, judging her reaction, "Oh no, you aren't intrigued by him are you?" Hinata blushed and turned away mumbling something that resembled 'no, not really.' "It's okay, most people are, mostly because they don't know how fun I am." He beamed and stared off into the rippling distance in an odd, stoic pose. He stood there for about a minute before he remembered he had company. He looked at her in a confused way cocking his head to the side. "So why are you here?"
Hinata laughed at the man's unintentional antics and replied "I-I was hoping you could tell me." He smiled at her and as he smiled, his wild personality changed to a very happy and accepting one. He put his hand on her shoulder, started walking towards a blurry rippling door, stepped miraculously through and showed her the reflection world of the lake outside of the castle.
"This is where you had your vision, is it not?" She nodded, "Let's see what you saw." He preformed some hand seals and the ripples began moving backwards, the clouds moved in the opposite from where they were going originally and the people who walked on the bridge were taking their steps away from where they faced. After a little while, she saw her self return to the place where she stared into the lake. She saw herself staring down, which was up to the Hinata in the reflection, towards the water.
"This is about the time I came to test you, see me?" She saw the reflection of the odd man walk underneath her past self and hit the water with both his hands. Hinata, the past Hinata, started acting very strange. "All I did was try to make a reflection gen-jutsu to see how you'd react, but even I didn't expect you to see what you saw. Now do you see me" He was panting and lying on both his hands and knees trying to catch his breath. "You connected with the water at the same time I performed the jutsu, and I was trapped within your vision. No one has ever been powerful enough with water to overcome my gen-jutsu, and especially make me witness a vision of their own, until you. And apparently you didn't even mean to do it. You have great potential."
All of this seemed so farfetched, but she could not deny the vision she'd had of Naruto. And the part about potential, with water? Her family had Tai-jutsu techniques, and she was even a carrier of the advanced bloodline Byakugan. She had always thought of Neiji as the one with potential, because it always came so easy to him. "So what are you going to teach me?"
"Just how to tap in to your power, I have different techniques than you would so you need to find yours out on your own, but I can help you find your water chakra. Walk with me again." She followed him through a different door, this one seemed to be the rougher reflection of a lake. It seemed familiar, almost as if she had passed it on the way to the town. "This is where my body and I first saw you, I'm using this lake because I don't want to disturb the town with all the noise this will make. Do you know the way back from this lake?" She once again nodded. "Alright then, let's do this."
He grabbed her wrist and flung her up into the air. Which was really more a reflection of the air, and really it was down, but it felt like up in the air to her. Down below her he moved his hand across the reflective ground, pulling out a whip of water. He flung it at her and before she could react, it wrapped around her waist. "Sorry" he cried from his vantage point on the other end of the whip before flinging her down to the "ground."
It was odd, she never felt any pain, she just found herself out in the middle of a lake gasping for air. She swam to the edge and caught her breath then looked down into the water. The blind man was there, and she heard him say one thing "Try controlling the water, just like you'd control your chakra." after he said this he disappeared to leave her all alone at the lake.
She was about to take his advice, but remembered that he had to meet his team back in the town. She rushed off, feeling like she'd just come out of a dream, was it real? She wouldn't find out until she returned to her friends, that was her first priority.
