Author's note:
Okay, here it is! My second fan fiction! More accurately, it is an adaptation of an already existing story. But believe me, you've never read the classic story like this before. I'd like to take a moment and say that I do not own the rights to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It is the sole property of Roald Dahl and his existing relatives. This is a work of fan fiction, meaning it is meant in good fun and appreciation of the original material. Please don't sue me.
Ah…feels much better now…let's boogie!
Here Comes Hinata
This is a story about a young girl, the luckiest girl in the entire Fire country and maybe even the whole continent. Her name is Hinata Hyuuga.
Hinata was a Genin (or beginner ninja) from the Hidden Leaf village. Despite this, Hinata wasn't stronger, cleverer, or more powerful than other children her age. While her family was a well-respected clan in Konoha, Hinata wasn't influential, or particularly wealthy. In fact, she barely got enough to eat.
Hinata lived in a small, shabby looking apartment building in an equally small and shabby looking room. The apartment wasn't nearly large enough for a girl like Hinata, and life was extremely uncomfortable for her.
She didn't own a television or a radio. She didn't own an icebox or freezer. She owned very few appliances that give comfort to so many of us. Hinata slept on a mattress on the floor, which wasn't bad in the summertime when the weather was hot and balmy, but it was deathly cold in the wintertime. There wasn't any question of her buying new and nicer things, or moving to a better place. She was far too poor to do any of this.
You see, Hinata earned her money by taking ninja missions along with her teammates and their sensei as part of a three-man team. However, their payment was decided on who had contributed the most on the mission, and because Hinata wasn't as strong, or as fast, or more clever than her other teammates, she often earned the least. She didn't even have enough to buy proper food for herself. The only meals she could afford for herself were bread for breakfast, boiled bok choy for lunch, and bok choy or cabbage soup for dinner.
Hinata, of course, didn't starve. But working as hard as she did, it left a quite awful empty feeling in her tummy.
One would wonder, "Why would such a young and poor girl such as Hinata be living on her own? Hasn't she any parents to live with?" This is an excellent question. As I mentioned earlier, Hinata's family was well respected in Konoha. The Hyuuga clan was one of the oldest and most renowned families in the village. They were brilliant fighters and users of a bloodline limit known as the "Byakugan", a ninja technique that was very powerful.
Hinata was not considered the greatest in her clan though. She was, in fact, viewed as one of the worst. She wasn't skilled enough in taijutsu, she wasn't skilled enough with weapons, and even though she could use the Byakugan, she wasn't very skilled at using it properly.
It was for these reasons that her father and leader of their clan, Hiashi Hyuuga, felt that his daughter brought dishonor to the clan. Her father would not train Hinata or help her with her academy studies, simply because he thought she was "too weak". It got to the point that Hiashi Hyuuga forbid Hinata to live with the rest of the clan until she had grown stronger. This is why she lived alone in a small and shabby apartment with very little to eat. This depressed Hinata very much. Despite all she would do to improve her skills, her father was never impressed.
Her mood never improved much as she was hungry due to her thin, watery bok choy meals. She desperately wanted something more filling and satisfying than bok choy and bok choy soup. The one thing she longed for more than anything else was…chocolate.
Walking to the academy or to her team in the morning, Hinata would see slabs and bars of chocolate piled up high in the shop windows, and she would stop and press her nose against the glass, her mouth watering like mad. Many times during the day she would see other kids or genins pull chocolate bars out of their pockets or bags and eat them greedily. This, of course, was pure torture.
As Hinata earned very little, she didn't have any money to spend on candy, but every pay she would save up whatever amount wasn't spent on rent or food. She would save it until she had enough to buy a whole bar of chocolate from a shop. When she bought one, she would eat it slowly, taking only a tiny nibble at a time. This way she could savour the wonderful creamy flavour of the chocolate for as long as she could.
But I haven't told you about the awful thing that tortured Hinata almost every day. It was far worse, to Hinata, than the piled slabs of chocolate in store windows or greedy children eating candy bars on the street. It was the most terrible, tortuous thing you can imagine, and it was this:
Located right outside of Konoha, visible right from Hinata's window in her small, shabby apartment, there was an enormous chocolate factory!
And it wasn't simply an ordinary enormous chocolate factory, either. It was the largest and most famous chocolate factory in the whole world! It was Wonka's factory, owned by Willy Wonka, the greatest chocolateer in the known world! Just beyond the Hokage monument you could see it's tall, iron gates. Its tall smokestacks rose high above the village, pouring out a wondrous heavy rich aroma of melting chocolate.
Hinata would leave her window open at night so that she could fall asleep and wake up to the fantastic smell of chocolate. She would arise and stick her head out of the window, taking deep sniffs of the gorgeous chocolaty smell.
Oh, how she loved that smell.
Oh, and how she wished she could go inside that marvelous factory and see what it was like.
