The most important Clan of Konoha has decided to marry their first-born to strengthen the Alliance between Nations. The most anticipated event of the year is threatened by a very unique trio, wich could symbolize the peace of the most powerful Village in shinobi world or the emergence of new conflicts.
Chapter 4: Hinata Hyuuga
-The wedding has been canceled at the request of the Princess of Lightning. I could calm the spirits only with the promise of a good financial compensation- Kakashi mentioned handing the parchment of the agreement to Fugaku.
He accepted it with a great sigh. -Okay, we accept full responsibility and bear all expenses. On behalf of the Uchiha Clan, I offer my sincere apologies, Hokage-Sama. Thank you for all your support and understanding.
Fugaku grunted a little when he saw the amount they demanded. They could easily affort it; and it was so much better than offering them Sasuke in place of their eldest son. An ace, wich fortunately, Kakashi had manage not to use to calm the spirits between both countries. Not for that reason it stopped being an abusive amount.
Mikoto wanted to cry, but held back. It was being more exhausting to cancel the providers than the wedding itself. Soon the gossip spread like wildfire: "The little great crimson indiscretion" The flirtatious Sharingan" "The Shinobi Legend and his Secret lover" in short. Hundreds of tabloid notes speculating and airing the "love" life of the Uchiha heir. Suddenly the fateful news of the canceled wedding became the greatest discovery of the Konoha females; Itachi Uchiha, was again a single and coveted man. With three blessing of course.
"The most coveted single dad in the Land of Fire."
Mikoto sighed closing the magazine where her eldest son was talked about as if it were a piece of meat. They increased vigilance, they had to prevent reporters from approaching the children at all cost. The press was generally quite respectful, but it never hurt to be cautious. It was also time to issue a press release on the matter, now if the cancellation of the wedding was official.
However, they did not count on Ino Yamanaka's cunning, and to some extent lucky. Since finding the little Uchiha sitting on the dock of the lake had been a coincidence.
After meeting her mother's former love, she was furious and a little taken aback. What had his sweet and beautiful mother seen in that mediocre blonde? It's okay. She was not blind. The boy was definitely very handsome, but no less stupid for that. He had dared to ignore the Hyuuga Clan Heiress's beautiful declaration of love! Oh my god!
According to Hinata's own account, during an attack on the village, she had tried to protect Naruto with all her might from an enemy she knew she could never defeat. Risking his life and, as a farewell, he had confessed his feelings and the idiot had not even taken the time to visit her in the hospital and at least reject her politely.
She always justified it, but in the eyes of her little daughter it was an insult, a total lack of respect and gratitude for whoever jumped in front of you to save your skin.
Hello! Are you the daughter of Uchiha-san?
Takara looked up at the stunning blue-eye blonde. A small blush painted het nodding cheeks. It was still strange to claim to be her father's daughter.
-You are prettier than I imagine. What is your name Little?
-Takara ... Uchiha Takara ...
"Kawaiii!" The blonde screamed. -You are identical to Sasuke-kun, my name is Ino and I used to go to the Academy with him. He said, sitting relaxed next to her.
-Although Itachi-San has always been ... how to put it- he placed a finger on his chin looking up at the sky- a legend among our generation.-
Takara widened her pearly eyes in admiration. Being the daughter of a legend was like a dream.
-Are you friends with Sasuke-san?
-Of course! And I'm also friends with sooo Hyuuga, I think I could meet your mother ...
Takara bit her lip. It wasn't particularly a secret, but he didn't know if it was safe to tell him.
-You don't have to tell me who she is, I understand that you can't ...
-Hinata ... my mother is Hyuuga Hinata.
Ino almost choked on her own saliva. HINATA?! Had the quiet, introverted Hinata caught the most sought-after boy in Konoha?
-I know her! We were friends at the Academy, well we weren't so close since she was very reserved. But he was always very sweet and kind to everyone.
-If she's very nice, she always has been. -Takara smiled
-And tell me, where is she now? The little girl's smile faded.
-She disappeared, b-but they are already looking for her ..-
-I'm sorry to hear that, I'm sure it will come back. She is a strong girl-
Takara nodded unconvinced. He also wanted to believe that, that their mother would return to them as she always told them before going on any mission.
-Tell me Takara-chan, how was your life before coming to Konoha?
"Missing and without a trace of the Princess of the Byakugan."
On the cover there is a photograph of a quarter of the page aligned to the right, of Hinata, sitting in a cute lilac kimono, with her hair down, with a flower on her right ear. Smiling innocently. At the bottom of it, it reads "Hyuuga Hinata, kunoichi of Konoha."
Former Hyuuga Clan heir Hinata Hyuuga, 24, was last seen in the village of Sound about 1 month ago. It is known that he went together with a tracking team from the Land of Iron on a B-Rank mission.
Her three little 7-years-old children await her heartbroken. For now they are protected by their father, Uchiha Itachi, wich, although it had been published in previous issues, is officially confirmed with the press release issued yesterday by the Uchiha Clan.
Their names are Inori, Takara, and Takeshi. They have lived up to now in the Land of Iron with their mother. Following the rules and education of the Samurais. All three are very skilled with the Katana, however, the Emperor of that Country, made a special delivery to the genius of the sword Takeshi when he was only 5 years old.
All three are very clever and gentle little ones. They have just entered the Ninja Academy in Konoha, great things are expected of them. Konoha and the world are eager to see the development of the descendants of the Princess of the Byakugan and the Crimson Prince.
Complete information and photographs inside.
Itachi opened the Newspaper finding photographs of his three children in different stages of their life, there was even one of Hinata pregnant. He gripped the blade tightly, showing no expression on his face.
Pain. Resentment. Treason. Why did he have to know the lives of his children in this way? He would have been by her side. He would have answered to the stupid clans, he would have protected her from Akatsuki, from the caged bird seal, from the entire world. Damn he love her!
She would have become an Uchiha or he a Hyuuga, what difference does it make. I did not understand. Observing her innocent eyes, her tender gaze; a part of him wanted to understand her, to believe in her motives, whatever they were. But for the first time a feeling of anger invaded him, of deep resentment.
"By no means did this come from my communication department," Mikoto said indignantly. The Uchiha family was gathered in the meeting room of the Military police. Each with a newspaper in hand.
"I had forgotten how cute Hinata was." Sasuke sipped his coffee quietly. Itachi looked at him in annoyance. -Hey, it's true, don't take it the wrong way.
-This puts us in trouble, we must find the source of the newspaper. For now the most important thing is to redouble the safety of the children, now that their skills and doujutsus have practically been shouted from the rooftops.
Itachi was so lost in thought until he felt his mother's hand on his. They were alone.
-Are you okay baby?
The kid blushed. -Mother, I remind you that I am already an adult-
-You will always be my baby, besides we are alone- he smiled -Are you upset with her right?
-I don't want to be, but it's so difficult ... to accept everything I've missed. And at the same time I'm upset with myself because I can't help but think that I took advantage of her and maybe I deserved her silence.
Mikoto's eyes widened. -Are you ... you ...?
Itachi denied before he could finish that sentence. "Of course not mother, you know I would never do something like that." However, I was just a girl, I was 16 years old, I was supposed to be the adult. I should have looked for her to the end of the world.
-You did not know that she had become pregnant-
-I know, even the children know, Hinata told them I had never found out. Still, Takeshi's words about abandoning his mother are true. I should have looked for her, pregnant or not, even under the rocks.
-The tracking team is made up of Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and will be led by Hyuuga Neji. -expressed the sixth in front of the three ninjas.
-Do you agree Itachi-kun?
-Thanks Hokage-Sama. I just want to request ...
-I'II go too-
-Sasuke? It is not necessary, I must be the one to go-
-I'm sorry brother, but you can't go, your responsibility now is to protect your children.
-I agree with Sasuke. It is the duty of a Father to remain with his children. -Shino said adjusting his black glasses.
-I fully trust in the safety of Konoha, the Uchiha Clan can perfectly take care of my children while I'm gone. Itachi assured.
-If Hinata-Sama had wanted you to look for her, she would not have sent her children with you. We do not yet know if the safety of children is compromised. -Commented Neji.
-It's better that you take advantage of this time to live with them. We will bring Hinata back right Akamaru? -The dog barked happily, Shino nodded.
Sasuke put a hand on his shoulders. "We will find it." My father has already authorized my temporary leave. I'II go in your place big brother, trust me.
