chapter 5: you said it.
Sakura sighed. In all her glorious years as a medical nin she has never seen so many broken bones from a single person untill 3 weeks before when Hinata came for the first time with broken ribs. She made her promise that she'll never let anyone know she'll be coming here. Sakura agreed because in not a thousand years she expected her to come this regularly. Every other day she would have some fractures here and there. Whenever she asked her how? She would say training and shrug it off. She would not push her because of... Well various reasons.
First there has been a rumor in the air that hinata made Naruto piss in his pants from a glare or whatsoever. Even it's a rumour it was Naruto for fucksake. That guy defeated Madara and currently could be the strongest shinobi present. Plus Normally after his hokage grooming he would be hoping around konoha Or the hospital but now he is nowhere to be found. When asked Kakashi shrugged and said the less nagging he does the more he gets to read his perverted orange book so he doesn't the rumour is just a little true she won't mess with her.
Secondly she has been extremely secretive about this training. Hinata maybe shy but she was never the tight lipped type. Then also one day she heard Kiba and Shino talking about spying on her just to you know make sure she's in safe hands and all. And the next day they return to hospital with a few blocked chakra points. When asked they simply groaned 'Neji'.
And the last she has been damn emotionless. Right now scanning a crooked bone she had to break it and has been amending it. The women hasn't broke a sweat not even a teeny tiny scream. Scratch that not even a freaking flinch.
Not that she'll ever speak out loud but she knows the Hinata that comes to her has somewhat already healed some few cuts and bones. And that is the reason for the crooked bone she is amending. Hyuga amazing chakra control has always proved to be very effective in the medic area, that means Hinata is a excellent medic in case of emergency. So definitely she doesn't even want to imagine that women in the raw stage.
"There you're all good now" Sakura smiled at her.
"Thank you Sakura. You've been so supportive of me. I really appreciate it and would glad to return it anytime" Hinata smiled at her. Really she was surprised Sakura didn't pry. Maybe she had yet to know sasuke was the one causing this injuries.
"No problem at all really. But you know something is in my mind" Hinata mentally sighed. Old habits die hard.
"Yeah sure. You know that if you ask me about the injuries I can't say anything. I promise I'll tell you when the time will come"
"I'm just worried about you. Past three weeks and that's the most broken bones I've witnessed on a single body. It concerning hinata. If... If you're in some trouble or something please don't hesitate to speak with your friends. I could ask Naruto to talk to you, you know just in case... "
"Sakura" She felt a shiver run down her spine at the cold voice and the icy eyes. She's never been so much awe struck before. " I'm not the same shy and timid Hinata I was. This hinata is confident and strong. If anything happens to me I won't hesitate to kill anyone in self defense. Even if you bring Naruto and or even Sasuke I won't stay still if they are bring annoying nose pokers. I appreciate your concern and I'm glad for the medical care I've been receiving. If you don't want to continue then let me know"
Sakura but her lower lip. No honorific, no stammering but deadly straight and sharp. She didn't even hesitate using Sasuke's name in the line. A normal civilian doesn't pass this criteria. He'll have weak knees by only the name of the diabolic Sasuke Uchiha. "No hinata, I don't mean it and you know it. I understand you want to become stronger and I'll respect that. And please don't stop coming here. "
"Very well. That settles it. If anytime you'd want something feel free to ask"
"Just one hinata, Do you by any chance know Sasuke? "
"Everyone does"
"No personally you know. The way you said his name"
"There's nothing personal to it. The way I said his name is an open invitation for fight. "
"That's what concerns me. I know you're strong but he's a different league. Don't mess with him Hinata. He's a murderer and has a tendency for extreme sadism. Hospital believes in its protocol of privacy,but I'll tell you this after his arm transplant Tsunade sama asked a few people for his mental conditions. In the end the medics suffered from extreme break downs and traumatic after effects."
"I'm aware"
"What? Hinata you're not over looking my warnings are you? How did you know such things? "
"I'm not over looking your warnings. I know what he is capable of. And about how I knew? Sasuke told me"
"What? Who are you kidding Hinata? I bet You haven't even had a decent conversation with him"
"I don't have to. He volunteers himself to let me know such things"
"Hinata that's a cruel joke. It's not like you're in love with him or something... "
"I'm . I'm in love with Sasuke uchiha"
Sakura felt the whole hospital collapse on her. What did she? Are her ears ringing or what ? A sick imagination or something? No no no. Before she could say anything Hinata was not even present in the room anymore.
Hinata didn't regret. Sakura deserved to know. It was evening and she will be going back to the compound before Neji niisan starts his curfew. She smiled at the thought of her cousin rampaging the whole konoha because the hyuga princess isn't back home yet. She stumbled on her way when she felt a familiar dark chakra behind her. Turning her byakugan on she surveyed the place. Not a single trace of anyone. But she couldn't misinterpret it could she? She just hope that piece of information doesn't reach his ears. Sakura would be too shocked to tell anyone. But she couldn't deny the shiver and the hair on her neck standing in all attentiveness. She sighed . Her sensory skills sometimes can backfire.
20 DAYS INTO KNOWING SASUKE UCHIHA:
The next day was pretty similar to the last 3 weeks . She woke up before dawn and went on running around Konoha with Lee.
Day 1:She remembered the first time she asked him, though she thought about only one lap but Lee and his enthusiasm made her run thrice. She couldn't deny him but ended up having muscle cramps on the very first day. And she also recalls when Sasuke knew about it. He shoot her fireballs which she had to Dodge making the cramps reach its peak and she rolled the field crying. Then what he did was the best memory she could gather. He gently with hot hands massaged her legs and thighs. For a moment there she was dead frozen and couldn't feel anything. It was just so unexpected for him.
But Sasuke being Sasuke when he felt she was okay started attacking her again. Her mind was so distracted that she didn't mind the pain coursing through her body. She realised as long as she uses the nature chakra instead of her own she's good. And so the tale started.
Kunais were getting launched together along with fire balls. She used her eight trigrams rotation. Carefully she tried to use most of the nature chakra that she somehow could sense from her byakugan. Its really tricky at first since it keeps trying to mix with her own chakra. But it's active chemical reactions was what helping her to recognize it from her own chakra. She knew that Sasuke had a sore thumb in taijutsu and he mostly uses long range attacks. So she somehow had to go near him and lock his chakra points.
Dodging all the hurdles when she reached near him with her byakugan she started her "Hakke Rokujūyon Shō" ;Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
"2 palms... 4palms..."
"Whoosh! " And Sasuke went into a poof smoke and then a log. She must have known it was one of Sasuke's trick. Too late. His sword was already positioned in front of her neck. It wasn't horizontal it was diagonal to agonizingly go through her neck. Somehow he even managed to lock both her hands behind her in a deadlock. Shit she was screwed.
"Lesson number one: don't underestimate your enemy. Especially when he is Sasuke Uchiha" He whispered in her ears. His mangekyou sharingan swirling in his eyes. Even the reflection was deadly through the sword. She gulped.
"H-hai" His sword moved a little towards her.
"No fucking stuttering"
"Hai"
"Trying to take a upper hand in taijutsu eh? "
"Maybe.. "
"Next time use your brain before I kill you"
"Hai"
"So did you figure out a way to use nature chakra? "
"Sort of. If I only use the nature chakra instead of mine I don't feel any sort of chakra depletion. It's like a continuous flow, it keeps flowing through my body and then replenishes and so on. But it is very distracting"
"Your strikes are powerful too. My substitution only lasted 4 palms"
"Is that a good thing? "
"Hn"
"You... You have something in your mind"
"Are you questioning me? "
"I'm accusing you"
"Accusing when under a sword eh? You got some nerves"
"After all you're the one training me"
That was the first time she saw Sasuke smirk like that. It was weirdly endearing.
"Ever gotten a seal? "
"Noooooooo! The caged bird seal... Nooooo " Hinata was trying her best to wriggle out of his grip. And all he did was hold her tighter.
"Take me to your cousin"
"Huh? Neji niisan? "
"You have got another? "
"No but.. "
"Hyuga" That voice. That damned voice of suppression. She could do nothing but nod. Activating her byakugan she surveyed the whole area.
"There" She pointed out. The sword was no longer on her neck and her hands were free. Albeit he was standing behind her.
"Take us there"
"Hai" And then they leaped through the trees. Sasuke following behind her like a shadow. Even her byakugan couldn't spot sasuke's chakra, what stealth and expertise! After a few minutes they reached her neji niisan, who was on the way to the training grounds.
"Hinata sama"
"Neji niisan"
"Hyuga" Sasuke stepped in front of her.
"She needs your help"
"Eh? I do? "
"What is it? "
"You know about the byakugou seal don't you? " Sasuke questioned for which both of us only nodded. " Those kind of seals preserve an immense amount of chakra in their forehead over a period of time. "
"Uchiha. Just so you know byakugou seals are fuinjutsu. While I'll agree Hinata sama has a delicate chakra control however coming this far in gentle fist switching to healing jutsu isn't a wise choice. "
"Tch. Don't interrupt. The byakugou seals are s ranked seals. There are many other seals which have same implications but are very different to use"
"You think we should seal the nature chakra? "
"I thought. Change of plans. Today when she used gentle fist from nature chakra the range and strength was much more. And since it's her very adaptivity that makes the whole story different. I'll say we'll seal her own chakra. " The hyugas widened their eyes. But kept quite allowing him to continue his theory.
"At first we seal the very start of 20% chakra. Once we make sure that she can adapt the other chakra and let it flow in her body we go for next 20%. In case it doesn't work we dissipate the seal from the start. "
"It makes sense" Hinata whispered.
"Uchiha I know there are some side effects of such things as well"
"There is. I'll tell you, chakra sealing is a hazardous jutsu to do. Without specialisation you shouldn't even dare to think about it. Chakra restoration takes a lot of time and meanwhile makes the person somewhat weak. But she can absorb chakra way faster so I'm positive about it"
"Right. Another thing, who do you think will do the seal? Since you're keeping your training a secret and all plus it needs a specialist" Neji raised his brows. The first day itself Hinata let Neji know that she has requested Sasuke to train her. He was very wary but accepted it any way.
"This is were your role comes Hyuga. The only person capable of that right now is Tsunade. And she's not the most considerate person when it comes to such things, especially not when a uchiha is involved. Hyugas could be a different story"
"So you want me to accompany her to Tsunade sama and ask her to do it? "
"Take it or leave it Hyuga"
"Uchiha I don't trust you"
"Hn"
"Neji niisan. I... I trust Sasuke. We won't know anything untill we try" Hinata stepped in between them. She doesn't know why she is trusting the man but she does.
"Hinata sama... "
"Please nii San. Have some faith in my decisions"
"Alright. I've got no choice now. We'll go"
"Arigatou nii San, sasuke"
"Hn"
"Let's go nii San"
"Haii" Hinata and neji walked the opposite direction. While Sasuke vanished somewhere. Hinata still felt the cold electric air sweeping her skin. It felt so accusatory yet so securing. She waved those thoughts and concentrated the task on hand.
Once reaching Tsunade house they wheezed on the sight. She was drunk this early in the morning! Sighing they greeted her and explained the circumstances minus Sasuke part. Tsunade was as Sasuke said not the most considerate person but Sasuke also said Hyugas could be a different story. And this was Neji talking. Somehow his tone and way of conversation convinced Tsunade for the seal.
She agreed on having a seal put on Hinata for just 20% of her chakra. She also elaborated how seals of such nature are always around B rank. She also clarified Hyuga bloodline would require a A rank seal. Which was quite frightening for sure. Hinata was also desperate to become stronger and that is why she managed to reaffirm the former Hokage about the seal. The good thing was she agreed to do it today. With all the warnings of after effects such as weakness, dizziness and abnormal chakra flow they proceeded towards her own clinic in her house itself. She'll agree Tsunade not only invests on gambling but also house and it's requirements.
Once inside the clinic Neji was shoed. Apparently Hinata had to be naked while applying the seal. Only the thought of it made her feet loose the balance. Composing herself after a good half an hour she laid naked on the white clothed billet. It was weird really and she had her every ounce of her brain not think about it. She was having goosebumps no matter what.
She won't lie but the seal hurt like hell. It was like breaking your own body parts and throwing them into some dark corners. She was a little dozed but it hardly did any good. Her breathing was erratic and the chest pain was unbearable. Tsunade tried her best to lessen the pain but it was there and it hurt real bad. The seal was getting placed in her naval but her whole body was writhing in pain. She was even dizzy and close to loose consciousness. She held up some how.
It took a while, a little more than an hour to complete the job. At the end she was extremely lethargic and light headed. She was glad it was only 20% . 100% and she was as good as dead meat. Dressing up and dragging her feet they bid their thank you and goodbyes to the lady of help. Tsunade clearly was uncertain and that motivated Hinata to show her, her resolution of getting stronger. She was leaning on Neji niisan arm all the way. She kindly asked him to drop at the training ground for some fresh air. And also assured him to be back at home early. It was only mid afternoon after all.
In the training grounds her breathes were deep and lungs heavy. She was waiting of Sasuke to tell him what happened. And there Sasuke landed in front of her as gracefully as ever. She took another deep breath, squared her shoulders and looked into his eye.
"Sasuke I... She... The... Seal... It... Painful... " And it all went black.
Hinata woke up panicked and embarrassed. How weak is she? She keeps bailing on the training and now she can't even say a sentence before she falls unconscious. Baffled she looked around only to find Sasuke staring at her from a branch top. Her cheeks were flustered and she rambled an apology and stood up. Before she could blink an eye Sasuke handed her a box. It was surprising and then 5000 volt shocking when she realised it was take out lunch.
"You were passed out the whole afternoon. Thought you'd be hungry"
"Arigatou!Gomen about earlier you know. The seal... It was too painful. Now I'm alright" She took the lunch box and started eating it.
"Seems you've revived all your chakra in just a couple of hour. That's impressive" Hinata nodded.
"Hai... I'm as good... As new... And... Ahem ahem" Hinata choked on her food while Sasuke was stifling a laughter.
"Chew then talk hyuga"
"Hai... Gomen" She nodded and solely concentrated on her food. She had a hard time facing Sasuke's stifling laughter. She finished her food and looked at the now stoic man.
"Let's spar" She recommended. Sasuke raised his eyebrows. "Let's spar I said. I want to see how far I can use my nature chakra. You give me the perfect adrenaline for it"
"Now now that is something you shouldn't say to a guy" Sasuke smirked and hinata blinked in disbelief murmuring something about " After effects and hallucinations of Sasuke flirting"
The spar was just worth it. She could feel the surge of power from the attacks. Even Sasuke was breaking sweats. Albeit it was a bit confusing but getting a hang of it and then, woah!
When it was evening they halted their now tag game and plopped down.
"You okay sasuke? "
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you? "
"No I don't feel anything. It's only the muscle cramps but my chakra doesn't have a dent"
"So my way worked then? "
"Yep. You're a genius"
"I know"
"Uchiha pride" Hinata rolled her eyes then bit her lower lip. Shouldn't have said that aloud. Unknown to her sasuke was smirking.
Hinata smiled at the thoughts. Her now integrated 5 laps were done and she was at the training grounds. Lee has already left her and she was now in the middle of the now Carter filled ground. Her sensory sirene went on and before she could activate her byakugan Sasuke's sword was at her neck, horizontal may she say. Her hands were bind with chakra and she was desperate to find a way out of it.
"A bird told me that you're in love with me. Is it true hyuga? " Hinata gulped. This was what she was afraid of.
"The bird must have told you the answer too" Hinata answered still trying her best to break the damn chakras off her wrists.
"I want to hear it from you"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"I'll show you what I'm talking about" With that he spun her right in his arms and kissed her lips.
