For the future of a clan

NDA:Sorry but I don't own Naruto and I write an awful english . The story doesn't follow the events of the manga
starting from volume 19. The story will alternate between different point of view. The main Characters are Hinata
and Neji, but this is Not a Neji x Hinata !

WARNING: I write UCHIWA with W because this kind of writing was used at the beginning of the French publication of Naruto and I took this habit. Don't bother me with that.

Chapter 1: Two Hyugas.

- Hinata POV-

Look, the years passed in the villages. Things have changed. The face ofthe fifth Hokage Tsunade is engraved on the
stone cliff. Under her command, our village worked with the village of the Sand to destroy Akatsuki. It was a very long
operation, but it succeed. Akatsuki was destroyed and its members are all almost dead now. Orochimaru was killed too ,
and his organization was dismantled. Our village is strong under the direction of the fifth Hokage.

I am 18 years old now and I am Chuunin. I know, it isn't brilliant for the heiress of Hyuga to be only Chuunin. My cousin
Neji is already Jounin. I train often with my father and my small sister Hanabi. They are are exceptional fighter, but not
me. I see well that my father would have preferred to have Neji as son, rather than me as girl.

And then, actually, to progress in fight doesn't really interest me, I prefer take care of my medicinal herbs and my healing
creams. I like the odor of my small room, full with flowers and sheets. I have a quiet life between the missions with my
team, the daily drive and my herbalist preparations . However I feels like a vacuum in my heart.

- Neji POV-

With a short breath, my uncle and I make a pause to our training session in the court of the Hyuga manor. I'm learning a
new technique, rather difficult . My cousin Hinata see us stop and left in kitchen to seek us tea. She's back quickly, with
three hot cups. The scented tea slackens us after such an amount of effort. Hinata naturally didn't join to our training
session. However my uncle had proposed her to teach her this technique, but she refused the offer. He didn't insist. He
gave up trying to teach to Hinata the higher techniques of Hyugas.
he teaches them to me, Neji, member of the secondary branch.

It's normal, I'm currently the most powerful of my generation in the family. Hanabi is skilled, but she's still too young for
mastering our fighting style. Our team, with Tenten and Lee is one of the best in the village, and I start to be famous in the
other ninja villages too. I succeeded almost all the missions which are entrusted to me, and I even undoubtedly will become
Anbus.

After having drunk her tea with us, Hinata sets out again towards his room and I decide to return at home too. I move
towards the door. With great surprise, I see the black and blue kimono of Hinata leave by the large door. After some fast
steps, I leave the manor too and I catch up Hinata in the street.
Neji: "Hinata-sama!"
She turns over and smiles to me.
Neji: "Where do you go?"
Hinata: "I in the forest to gather plants, I need some for a potion."
I briefly look at her, she wears only her Kimono and a basket. Some Kunais are dissimulated in her handles, but it's all.
Neji: "It isn't careful to leave like that. What if you were attacked...""
Hinata: "I can defend myself."
Neji: "Ask some guards to accompany you when you leave the village."
Hinata answers nothing and carries on her road. I glance, without knowing what to do. She obviously doesn't intend to
ask for an escort... What an obstinated girl! I should however know that she's like that. Understood...
Neji: "I come with you."
Hinata: "You don't need to, Neji Nii-san."
I follow her nevertheless. I can be obstinated too.

Slowly, Hinata advances in the forest, examining with attention the surrounding ground and trees. Sometimes she picks
some sheets, or a piece of bark, without seeming to find what she seeks. I must say that I haven't any idea about the use of
the plants which accumulate in her basket.
Hinata: "There isn't anymore here, this is bothering..."

She undoubtedly spoke more for herself than for me. Then she continues to move away in the depths wood. My glance
sweeps the neighbourhoods continuously, seeking the least sign of danger, but anybody in sight. Even the wild beasts
aren't disturbed by our quiet steps. I throw a glance in direction of the village to evaluate the distance, but I see only the
green trees. I understand suddenly... Genjutsu!

I draw Hinata by the arm to make her raise, seeking any trace of chakra which would indicate to me the origin of the jutsu.
Hinata too seeks the danger with her white eyes. A short flash on the left, I have just the time to push Hinata out of the
trajectory of the ball of fire. Enemy found.

He doesn't hide anymore, he knows that now my glance is hung, I won't release him anymore. Black hair, black clothing,
red eyes, the last survivor of Akatsuki, who had escaped my uncle when we were attacking their den, returned to the
village.

Itachi Uchiwa.
