During Pein's Invasion, Hanabi and Hiashi are away from the village. Hinata is in charge of the compound for a while. She has grown so much but a lot of people wonder. Why is Hanabi still the heiress of the clan?

A/N: I'm revising this chapter.


Ko is Hinata's bodyguard since she was a child. Hiashi doesn't tell his daughter this of course, everyone assumes that Ko is just Hinata's and occasionally Hanabi's chaperone but in fact, his sole purpose is to protect Hinata. Both of them can handle themselves now but back then not so much. The clan elders still see Hinata as weak but even they acknowledge her strength.


A lot of ninjas volunteer in the rehabilitation of the village. The Hyuuga's for example help scout the borders of the village. With the hokage in a coma, enemy ninjas can easily get past and cause more chaos for everyone else. Naruto is running about, his clones scattered to lend a helping hand to everyone else.

Ko is taking a break and crouching on top of one of the rooftops of the buildings Yamato built. He'd been watching that blonde since he was a kid. His endless energy, mischievous personality, and ehem, loudness, the hyuuga's will have a shockwave run through the compound when he becomes part of the family.

" Hey Ko.", it's Yugao.

Since Hayate died she decided to become a medic, they were good friends since they were kids.

" Hey, Yugao. On a break I see.", I respond.

She sits down next to me. I follow suit.

" Hinata. They really believe she'll become the new Uzumaki matriarch someday do they?", she asks.

" Yes they do. My mother swore me to secrecy that a lot of the Hyuuga members are closet romantics but you already know that.",I answer her.

Seriously, that's the reason some of the strongest shinobi back then, Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha maintain a somewhat friendly relationship with the clan. Lady Hinata and Naruto are already matched before they were even born. When they feel like the two will end up together, trust me they will be.


A/N: Revision Alert. I jumped to Naruto Shippuden this time. Any ideas for next chapter? Comment on Review section or PM me.
