My third birthday is about a week away and I've been dreading it. I know this is when I'm supposed to be kidnapped, Neji gets the cursed seal, and Uncle Hizashi dies in place of father. I don't want this to happen, nobody deserves to lose their father at such a young age, and the curse seal is such a terrible invention, I am honestly sometimes ashamed to be apart of a clan that would partake in such traditions.
I have spent the last year trying to find Neji so we can build a bond that will have hopefully lasted through my birthday so he doesn't end up hating me for 10 years but because he is a branch family member I have never been able to get close to seeing him. I have rarely seen Uncle Hizashi and one it is only so father can subtly rub my prodigious self to Uncle Hizashi to prove head family members are better. This whole branch and head family thing is such bullshit and I cant wait to end it when I become clan leader.
Back to the birthday thing. I have been trying to figure out a strategy to solve the issue of Uncle Hizashi's death and my kidnapping but I'm not sure how. I mean sure I've gotten pretty string in my fighting but I don't think that will match up against full fledged Kumo ninja especially if they could kill someone as strong as Uncle Hizashi.
For the whole week I've been super stressed running through thousands of different scenarios in my head but none of them end up satisfactory. The stress has taken a toll and mother noticed how disheveled I looked the day before my birthday.
"Hinata-hime whats wrong?" As soon as she asked I ran to her lap, tucked my head in her stomach and began to bawl
"Okaasan I'm so scared."
"Of what hime?" I knew I had to make up a lie so I embraced my inner canon Hinata.
"My birthday okaasan. There's going to be so many people. What if they don't like me or don't think I should be clan heir. What if something goes wrong." Rubbing circles in my back, mother calmed me down whispering about how everyone has to love me because I'm so cute and strong and smart and nice. Mother is the kindest person and gives me all of the fluffy love father doesn't. Her calming presence and overwhelming love helped me calm down and I ended up falling asleep with her holding me like the child I still am.
The next morning I woke up better rested than I have been this whole month and mother was waiting for me. She picked me up and put me in the bath making sure to wash me with my soap that I can only use for special events. It smells faintly of lavender and makes me smell so nice for the whole day. Mother was being extra gentle with me today because of my breakdown yesterday and I can't help but thank her for how wonderful she is. Once I was dried off, she began to do my hair into a fancy spiral bun with red roses intertwined and a few curled pieces of hair to frame my face.
I never had fancy hair like this but I couldn't help but fall in love with how beautiful my hair looked. Being Hinata, has changed me I think because I would have never been girly like that but now I cant help but love the feeling of looking like a princess. Then mother helped me into a beautiful white kimono with golden trim and blue floral accents and a black obi with a red sash. I truly looked like a princess and It momentarily helped me forget what was going to happen today as she led me to the party in a different area of the compound.
I looking down at my feet walking behind my parents, nervous of all the eyes on me as well as if my plan was going to work when we stopped. Looking up I saw Uncle Hizashi. Oh my gosh I'm finally going to meet Neji. He's going to be so Kawaii while he's not such a dick about destiny. Stepping out from behind my parents I began to carefully study Uncle Hizashi. He smiled at me and wished me a happy birthday. I would have believed it to be truly genuine but the ever so slight muscle twitch in his small smile and barely there fluctuation in his tone of voice let me know that he was probably dreading this day as much as I was. No parent wants to see their kid branded with something that gives someone else total control over them.
Looking down from Uncle, I saw Neji standing beside him. Neji fidgeted slightly smiled at me and I smiled back with the biggest and most friendly smile I could muster. I walked over to Neji I grabbed his hand. "Hi I'm Hinata, you must be Neji-san. I think we are cousins but I'd rather call you Neji-nii because then we can be like siblings. I don't have any and neither do you so I just thought we could." I rambled happily trying to form somewhat of a bond hopefully to lessen hi hate for me in the future if my plan fails.
"Hello Hinata-hime" Neji said with a bow "I believe it is alright if you call me Neji-nii I would like a little sister to look after." I giggled I happiness. After our introductions, father had me go with him and Neji and Uncle Hizashi to a small chamber where I knew Neji would receive his curse seal. I felt so bad for Neji especially as he cried out in pain. All while my ever stoic father explained to me the workings of the cursed seal as well as the roles of the branch family. I disagreed with him but knew not to say anything so that I can keep my position if heir before Hanabi comes so that I can make a change.
After I met Many of the clan council and important members and wooed them with my charm and prodigy-ness, The party wound down and I went to bed, kunai in hand ready for my kidnappers. After a few hours I heard my door open and I began to shake. I finally realized that me fighting back could kill me again and I really didn't want to die. I got so scared tears began to fall and I froze almost ruining the plan I had stressed about over and over.
As soon as I felt my sheets be ripped off of me, I sucked in a deep breath, jumped up and slashed at whoever was trying to grab me. I could feel the kunai slash across his skin and heard the ripping of flesh it was so gross and I wanted to puke, but I knew if I did, I would be taken. I heard one of the shinobi growl out "you little bitch" and I swiped one more time before screaming out for father and began to flip around them, using my small size and quick reflexes to try and avoid being grabbed by the pissed off ninjas.
I could feel the difference in speed with my lack of weights and it helped me tremendously in avoiding the angry Kumo-nin, my body was lighter and my reflexes were even better than before. If I wasn't scared shitless and crying while dodging for my life, I would have thought this was fun. As one hand grabbed me from behind and another came to grab my front I infused chakra into my fist and I made contact with the nin. I released the chakra that I had gathered in my fist and I could hear his arm crack from my hit.
A burning pain shot through my arm and I bit my lip making it bleed to hold in my screams. I refuse to give them the satisfaction of hearing me cry out in pain. My timing and technique was still not perfect when trying to use such a high level of Chakra enhanced strength and because of my error, the chakra backlashed and I knew my wrist was broken. I gripped my wrist, ready to move again but before I could go, a blunt force hit the back of my neck and everything went black.
I woke up the next day and when I opened my eyes, everything was so bright and white I thought I had died and finally sent to the afterlife. But then I heard noises and the faint sound of machines. Blinking a few times my eyes adjusted to the light and I realized I'm in the hospital hence the creepy amount of white I was seeing. A nurse with long dark pink hair and lanky form scuffled in checking my vitals. My eyes trailed her every move and when she finally noticed, she began to ask me questions. "Hinata-hime are you alright how do you feel. Do you need anything?"
"I'm fine. I would like to speak to my father." I mumbled out quietly.
"Yes, Hime I will send Hiashi-sama in now" she said with a quick bow. A moment later father walked in and sat by my bed with one of the coldest looks I've ever seen on his face. Loosing confidence I mumbled a "Good morning". Instead of responding father grabbed me and hugged me tight. My almost kidnapping was hard on him too then. With his love I finally released my emotions one more time and cried into him. Father began to pat down my hair as he held on to me and started talking to me. "Hime you were almost kidnapped do you remember?"
"Yes."
"You held off 3 men long enough for me to get there right before they could take you from your room. One of the men was bleeding and one had his arm shattered from his elbow down. Did you do that"
"Yes." I sniffled. Daddy held me tighter at my answer in an embrace I could only classify as a proud one.
"You were kidnapped as a rouse for an attempt at my life and for the Rikage to finally get his hands on the Byakugan. Fortunately they failed but not without casualty." My heart dropped at this. I failed to save Uncle Hizashi, am I so worthless that I already failed at making a difference. I wanted Neji to grow up with the love of a father, I wanted to keep uncle Hizashi alive but I failed. I was so caught up in my own depressing thoughts, I didn't notice dad trying to get my attention until he shook me out of my stupor.
"Hizashi was there to fend off the other attack but was blinded and lost a hand in the process." I cringed at the horrible things that happened to him but let out a sigh of relief knowing that he is still alive. At least he can be there for Neji now, even if I ruined his career. Because they were not killed and instead detained in the process, Hizashi was not sent as an eye for an eye type deal
"I'm glad you are safe otousan. How is Uncle and Neji-nii taking it?"
"They will get over it." The oh so softhearted response of my loving dad, I swear saying something emotional would kill him. He removed me from his lap and got up to leave to allow mommy and the nurse back in. Right before he left he turned around and said, "You did not disappoint me."
I fist pumped in the air when he left only to cry out in pain from my wrist. The nurse scurried over and scolded me for being reckless right after an injury. I was told I can't do any training with my right hand for at least 2 weeks. That sucks because now I'll only be able to run which is never fun. I would say dad would take it easy on me since I got hurt, but knowing him, he will just intensify the running and find other workouts that don't involve hands.
After I was released, mommy took took me to check on Neji and Uncle in his hospital room before we went home. Neji was definitely not as mad as he was in canon but I could tell he still blamed me when he told me I could no longer call him nii and that it's my fault his father I hurt. After watching him for a bit I could see the anger and confusion directed at me as a substitute for his growing anger for the head vs branch families and I knew that it was very strong but at least this time he doesn't completely want to murder me. He's just a boy who realized the difference in status and is mad at how the branch family has to take the pain for the head family like his father. I guess can't blame him. Hopefully I will earn his forgiveness someday.
Being older was nothing special. I spent 4 days a week training my dad's regimen he keeps making for me and 1 day a week secretly working on my personal training.
My training from dad gets harsher and harsher. He trains me mercilessly in the gentle fist as well as the addition to kunai and shuriken. I'm not necessiraily good at weaponry, but I'm not terrible. I can hit the targets but can never hit the center. Since hyuuga dont specialize in weaporny I would probably need somebody else to make me a master. Father doesn't worry about that as much as my Taijutsu so I have to learn it on my own too if i want to get better faster. The rigorous training has been paying off and I am now a master at basic gentle fist. Dad has decided to start training me to learn some head family moves now like air palms and 8 Trigrams 64 Palms. He said I have to wait to turn 4 for him to truly teach me the techniques so he has just been giving me things to prepare myself for it like chakra control exercises, growing my reserves, an extended variety of katas, as well as upping my speed training.
I've been training myself alone in my own fighting style. I train hard at timing my release of chakra in my attacks so I don't have a repeat of breaking my wrist. I still haven't perfected my timing, but it's so much better and now I only end with bruises and bloody knuckles. I also have been researching ninjustu and have decided I am going to wait until I go to the academy for real ninjutsu because I don't want to kill myself attempting one. And I need a teacher to get me chakra paper. I don't want my dad to know quite yet about my own studies. All he knows is I train alone but he doesn't need to know on what. He might not like a Hyuuga not using Hyuuga styles all the time.
About 10 months after my birthday, I began to notice how I've never been let out of the clan compound. I never noticed it before because I was so worried about my training, but when I finally did, its all I can see. I know my parents aren't the most sociable and are very wary of other peoples actions but come on. I wanna leave. The only way I can remotely help people is if I leave so I have been making plans to leave the compound one way or another.
The first few times I brought it up to my parents to let me outside, they brushed it off saying I'm not old enough. Damn it, I'm old enough to train, I'm old enough to go outside. At 4, I finally managed to convince my mom to take me outside the compound and into the town with her by promising that I will let her enroll me into some girly classes to make me more feminine.
We finally left the compound, and I was so excited I was shaking. Mom took it as nerves and picked me up. Cuddling into her, I let her hold me for a little while I enjoy her warmth. As soon as we got into town, I had her put me down and she did, but held onto my hand tightly to not lose me. Konoha is truly beautiful. The sun was shining bright and all of the buildings and stands along the streets gave it a really peaceful and homey feel. Walking along the streets I could hear the women on the street cooing at how adorable I am. Mother walked me along smiling down at me as I looked at everything in awe, my eyes shining brightly. I looked up and I saw the coolest thing ever. The Hokage Monument. It's HUGE!
"Okaasan its all of the Hokage. They are amazing! I want to be strong like them someday!" I all but shouted smiling widely at her.
"At this rate I'm sure you will" my mom said chuckling and smiling fondly at me.
We took a few more steps when the most beautiful smell entered my nose. I looked around for it and saw that its coming from a little dango cafe. Dango yes, I've always wanted to try dango especially since so many people in the show were obsessed with it. Tugging on my mom's sleeve, I gave her the puppy dog eyes and begged her to take me to get dango.
We walked into the little cafe and mom went to order us some dango as I found us a table. This place is cute. I heard people come in so I looked back and choked on air at who I saw. Walking into the dango shop were Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha. These three people are some of the people at the top of my list on who I want to help. Shisui and Itachi were both given terrible cards at life and I'm dertermined to do something about it. And Sasuke, I hated him in the show. He was such an arrogant emo prick. As much as I hated him, I understand why he was so sad. I'm determined that even if I can't save the fate of the clan, I will save Sasuke and make sure he is not alone. I will befriend him or at least make him not go crazy like he did before. I will help prevent some of the darkness from his heart.
Being the awkward person I am, I waited for them to order and sit down before I got up. I told mom that I was going to the bathroom and she let me go. I walked over to their table and they all looked at me. Sasuke with a frown probably thinking I'm a fangirl or something at the ripe old age of 4. Itachi and Shisui shared knowing looks and looked between me and Sasuke. Turning away from Sasuke, I looked at Shisui who gave me a slight surprised look at this turn out. I bowed and began to speak.
"Hi, my name is Hinata Hyuuga. You're Shisui Uchiha right? I know because I'm a huge fan of how how can use the body flicker technique so good. I can never figure it out." Shisui gave a laugh and before he could speak I turned to Itachi. "And you, you're Itachi Uchiha, child prodigy and heir to the clan. I know how that feels because I'm a prodigy too (not really but nobody would believe me if I explained why I was ahead of the game already) and I'm also heir to the Hyuuga clan. It kinda sucks but atleast I get to do lots of cool training! I would like for Shisui-san to train me in body flicker and for Itachi-sama to train me in shuriken jutsu. If I can to prove myself to you, I would like for you to take me on as an apprentice." When I finished all three of them looked at me wide eyed before Shisui smiled and began to laugh loudly.
"I like you Hinata-hime you got guts to ask us. As for the prodigy part, we'll see about that wont we. I accept to your proposition." I smiled at Shisui and turned to itachi expectantly. He was emotionless and said a "Hn" which Shisui told me means yes. I was basically jumping for joy and turned to leave when Sasuke stopped me, pouting with his arms crossed.
"What the heck Aniki, you always tell me later but you're going to train this weak fangirl." Sasuke whined childishly, his big dark eyes watery as he glared at Itachi.
"Who is a fangirl, duckbutt?" I replied pouting. Damn he's already an ass.
"You. You're just a fangirl trying to impress me and Aniki like the others." He responded dryly, looking to Itachi for confirmation.
"Hey Duckbutt it sounds more like your jealous of me than anything else. Scared that your precious Aniki will favor me because of my skills being better than yours?" I taunted with a smirk. Itachi watched with amusement, and Shisui had a shit-eating grin on his face.
"W-What no I'm not jealous. I can beat you, you're just a weak girl." Sasuke whined. Putting on a huge grin, I asked:
"Care to put that to the test? I was going to wait until after Dango to fight you three but I guess now works. But first I have to tell my Okaasan." We all stood up and went over to my mom. With my best puppy eyes, and some help from Itachi, we convinced her to let us go and come pick me up here in 6 hours.
They took me to the Uchiha clan training grounds and had Sasuke and I do the seal of confrontation. I jumped back immediately, avoiding Sasuke's wild punch. Wanting to end it and fight the others, I crouched down and launched myself looking like I was going for a punch before I Flipped in mid air, put my hands on Sasuke's shoulders and threw him to the ground, Immediately pushing into a back handspring to land on top of him, and I locked his body with a few pressure points. I sat on Sasuke grinning down at him smugly at his scowl beofre I tapped a few points and allowed him to move again. I looked over to Itachi and Shisui who were both looking at me in surprise. Sasuke stalked off and sat at the sidelines as Itachi stood up to come fight me.
"Are you ready Itachi-sama. I will not hold back and I expect you to not hold back, even if it means using Sharingan" I said firmly, the intent not being what I wanted with my chubby cheeks.
"Hai Hinata-hime I will not hold back" At that We formed the seal of confrontation and jumped back putting space between us. Itachi activated his 2 tomotoe Sharingan and watched me. I I activated my Byakugan and rushed at Itachi. Moving faster than he expected he barely moved out of the way of my first attack. Not giving him time to create an offense, I kept attacking relentlessly only hitting him once in the shoulder, but not in any vital points, just a very painful Tenketsu point. He grunted and landed a hit to my stomach that sent me skidding back, clutching my stomach and coughing.
I looked up at him grinning. This is fun. I can tell why hes such a prodigy becuase after a few more minutes of back and forth he began to see the patterns in my gentle fist finding counters too quick for me to beat him. If I continue like this I'd lose so I its time to unleash Olympic-style. If I land a successful chakra fueled hit, at this age he should go down. But thats a big if. I blocked a kick to my head and jumped back while switching my stance with my landing. Itachi looked suspicious at my stance and I could tell he was assessing on what style I was using, as well as looking to see all of the chakra gathering to my hands and feet. I began to attack him, this time landing more hits while simultaneously dodging with the use of my superior flexibility and style. He would think I would hit one place befpre I would twist to hit somewhere different. I'd go for a punch but land a kick, then switch back to actually using a punch.
Each move was different and I could tell he was slightly surprised by the change in movements. Itachi jumped back and began performing hand signs. I knew what was coming so I stood and waited, coating my body in a thin layer of chakra hoping that my plan will work. I jumped through the fireball and Itachi's eyes widened as he jumped up, but beause he was not ready, I landed a punch to his gut, releasing chakra on impact, and sent him hurtling to the ground creating a mini crater. I landed beside him panting heavily and looked down to see my clothes burned and small burns littering across my body, it hurt. Itachi slowly got up from the ground, nodding, it was over, I had nothing left to give and we both knew it. Shisui was looking between Itachi and I, mouth wide "I win...kind of...not really but I didn't lose!" The I collapsed from the pain of the burns and being so tired from the fight.
Shisui flickered over to me catching me and walked me over to Itachi who was slowly getting out of his crater, blood dripping down his chin, then shot his head to his left where Sasuke was. I looked over to what made Itachi and Shisui so tense and my eyes widened as I saw Fugaku Uchiha standing next to Sasuke with a glare that rivaled my fathers. I tensed too before having Shisui put me down. I slowly made my way to Fugaku and bowed before him. "Uchiha-sama. I apologize for destroying your training ground during my spar with Itachi-sama. I am Hinata Hyuuga heiress to my clan. I accept any punishments you would like to bestow upon me but do not put this on the Hyuuga name, this was srictly my decision to earn Training from Itachi-sama and Shisui-san in Shuriken and body flicker." I straightened myself and looked Fugaku straingt in the eye trying not to flinch from his stern gaze, before he replied with "Hn. Follow me." Doing what he said, I was surprised when he led me to his home instead of to my death. That might be coming though.
(Shisui POV)
Hinata Hyuuga. A name I'll never forget. When the small girl came sauntering over to our table with a large smile, I immediately thought she was a fangirl of Sasuke like every girl is with the Uchiha. How wrong I was. When she turned away from Sasuke and began to talk to me, I knew this girl was something else. When she asked Itavhi and I for training, challenging us, and insulting Sasuke, she had my full attention. I admit being of a rival clan and claiming to be a prodigy made me wary, but only slightly.
Itachi is a prodigy, a pure one in a million. Sasuke, in his own right was strong for his age. I didn't think she had a chance, but I agreed because she's amusing. I know she'd be fun to be around because she was able to irritate Sasuke in a way I could only dream of acheiving. When she fought against Sasuke I was surprised. She beat him so fast, I know he's either going to hate her forever, or love her forever; time will tell, but for now his pride is crushed. I guess she is a prodigy.
I got a little more excited for her fight with 'tachi. I still wasn't expecting much. 'tachi is strong, if i wasn't so fast he'd have beat me in every spar by now, so of course prodigy or not I didn't expect her to last long against 'tachi. When their fight began she was like a rocket. Her speed was seriously quick on its own and her attacks were quick and controlled, even managing to land a hit on 'tachi.
I turned on my Sharingan and watched them interested in every move she made. She's damn good, and she's only 4 without Sharingan, 'tachi would have lost to the little lioness by now. But then 'tachi caught on. I knew that look, he figured out the pattern and began a counter until she surprised him.
She completly changed her fighting style. I've never seen anyone move like her before her moves were unpredictable and powerful. I couldn't detect a pattern and never knew what she was going to strike. She would strike and dodge at the same time. It's graceful and flexible like a dancer with no bones but deadly and powerful like the jaws of a lion. I knew 'tachi would lose if he kept this up so when he pulled out the Fireball Jutsu, I wasn't surprised.
He was perfect, when the girl would go to dodge, he would be there to finish the fight. Itachi was genius, he underestimated his opponent but he still was the better fighter. I was surprised though when little Hinata jumped through the fireball, ignoring the burns to her body, and punched 'tachi.
I almost passed out when 'tachi hit the ground leaving a crater. If she can hit that strong and use a technique so deadly, along with her bloodline limit, she might become the most powerful Kunoichi ever.
I was impressed, no I am impressed with her skill. She truly is a perfect Prodigy, the likes equal to that of Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha. When I caught her I was about to bring her over to tease 'tachi when Fugaku showed up. Fuck, I thought we were all screwed. He was going to crush her and start a war between clans for Hinata beating his son.
Watching Hinata, she has no tact of a clan princess, she's not polite or has the aura of a leader like the other heirs, but when she spoke I couldn't help but be surprised again. She spoke like a perfect heir, powerful, arrogant, humble, and polite. My jaw hit the floor then after when Fugaku brought her to his home. He never brings people to his home. He doesn't want ME in his home.
That brings us to now. Fugaku, Me, Itachi, Sasuke, and Hinata all sitting around a table. No words are being spoken, it is just us staring at one another. To be more precise, my little source of amusement is staring Fugaku down not breaking his gaze even with his Sharingan turned on her. I had to hold back a smile she's got guts. I finally lost it when I looked over to Itachi and Sasuke. Itachi looked the same as always to anyone except his best friend, me. He was just dumbfounded at Hinata.
No doubt he expected to win with no effort. It was even better because of the bruise on his face and dried blood down from his lips. She really kicked her ass. My grin at 'tachi made him glare at me before turning back to stare at Hinata. I bursted out laughing at my sweet little Sasuke though. He was gaping at Hinata. Eye's wide, mouth open the whole 9 yards. His Aniki, the person he looks up to the most, his impossible to defeat big brother lost to a girl, and a girl his age no less.
Fugaku though, between their stare down, I can't tell what he's thinking. Its unnerving. If I were Hinata I'd be shaking, but she doesn't even look worried, in fact, she's smiling at him. A challenging smile, but a smile none-the-less. I'm glad I met this girl. She's going to flip this world upside down and I cant wait to watch.
(Hinata POV)
I was staring down Fugaku Uchiha. THE Fugaku Uchiha. I feel like such a badass but his Sharingan stare, I had to do my best not to flinch so I do what I do best, I smiled. Well it was kind of a smirk but whatever. He hasn't said a word to me and it's kind of freaking me out. After a good 10 minutes, filled with tension and Shisui's snickers, Fugaku finally opened his mouth.
"How?"
"How what?" I replied confused. What does he mean how.
"Hn."
"Thats not a word Uchiha-sama." (que Shisui snickers and sasuke's gasp)
"How did you beat Itachi?"
"I switced between my clan style and a style I created on my own and defeated him with a final chakra infused punch."
"I see. You created your own style at 4?" He asked skeptically, impressed, and annoyed.
"Yes, Uchiha-san. On my 3 days of training without my father, I designed my own style I have been perfecting since I started training."
"You are a true prodigy. That is why you won then."
"No Uchicha-sama. I won because I was fighting for something important."
Fugaku looked at me in disbelief and annoyance, responding with a classic arrogant "What were you fighting for then"
"I want Itachi-san and Shisui-san to train me. My shuriken skills lack and I know he is a prodigy. Shisui is a master at body flicker and I would like to learn. I fought to get better, to learn from people better than I so in turn I can protect them. I fight to protect everyone, even you Uchiha-sama. That is why I won. Itachi-san fought because I asked, I fought because I needed to. I know our clans are rivals but I don't believe in that. I believe clans should be more united and welcoming with one another. I fight to earn the respect of people and to become strong enough to unite everyone and protect those I care for."
At my declaration everyone looked at me in varying decree of shock and confusion. I saw respect flash through Itachi's eyes. Shisui smiled brightly at me. Sasuke looked confused. And Fugaku looked stumped at me, he was processing my words. After a few minutes I stood up and bowed to everyone at the table.
"Thank you for the spars Itachi-san and Sasuke-san. If you still need to spar me Shisui-san I will be ready. Thank you Uchiha-sama for bringing me to your lovely abode. Goodbye." I began to walk away and Shisui yelled at me a happy saa ya later at training. I smiled largely. I made it to the front door when Fugaku appeared in front of me.
"I approve."
"Of what Uchiha-sama"
"My sons and you. My son will train you. You will eat dinner with us and meet my wife tonight. I will notify your parents." He said leaving me no room for protest.
"Uh ok" I said smartly. God, for a prodigy I'm a dumbass. At that I went back to the table giggling at Sasuke's protests of a girl eating with him.
I was sitting at the table conversing with Shisui animatedly, itachi adding in a few Hn's in here and there. Wow Shisui is even better than in the Manga. He's funny and strong and he thinks I'm awesome. He's really good at making Itachi flustered the same way I do to Sasuke. We are the ultimate tag team. We were currently having an argument about the Hokage. Sasuke and Itachi think the 4th is the best. I think the first is the best and Shisui thinks the 3d is the best.
"Hinata-hime,'tachi-chan, Sasu-chan, Lord Third is amazing. He's the God of shinobi. He's amazing and has so many cool techniques, even more than the 1st or 4th Hokage.
"Hn. Lord 4th was the yellow flash, ended a war, defeated the 9 tails, and trained one of the greatest ninja Kakashi Hatake." My cheeks flushed happily at the thought of Karachi, he was so cool.
"Yeah Aniki is right. Lord 4th is the best. You're so dumb freaky fists" Yeah Sasuke has taken to calling me freaky fists because my strength that is so "Unnatural for a girl" making me a freak.
"Geez duckbutt you only agree with what Itachi-san says you're such a fanboy." Sasuke spluttered with indignation blushing angerly. "Lord First, Hashirama-sama was the reason Konoha exists. He United the Uchiha clan and Senju clan, build the Shinobi nations, used Wood style that could tame the 9-tails and married a sealmaster. Without him none of the other Kage would exist anywhere so of course he is the best Hokage."
My reasoning made all of them stop and I could see that they agreed but their damn Uchiha pride made them unable to say I'm right. Ready to turn the conversation around to something more fitting to Sasuke so we can become friends I asked about his mom.
"Hey Duckbutt whats your mother like?"
"Okaasan is awesome. She's nice and pretty and puts the best tomatoes in my food but really scary when..."
"I'm scary when what Sasu-chan" a new feminine voice cut in sickly sweet. We all turned around and I saw Mikoto carrying grocery bags. She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She has long black hair and beautiful black eyes. A perfectly pail and slim yet beautiful face. Pink lips and a round nose. She's the epitome of a perfect Uchiha. Her sons get their looks from her for sure.
"Nothing Okaasan!" Sasuke shouted as he ran and gave her a hug.
"Hey Auntie Mikoto" Shisui greeted giving her a hug too. I looked toward Itachi. He got up with the grace only he possessed and bowed his head with a quiet "Hello Okaasan" then took her bags and headed to the kitchen.
Mikoto turned to me and her eyes widened before she gave out a squeal and glomped me, pinching my cheeks in a speed reserved for ninja.
"You are absolutely adorable. I never though I'd see the day when one of my boys brought a girl home. Who invited you here. I'm surprised Fugaku-kun decided to let you stay. You must really be special little Hyuuga." I giggled at her antics she's awesome!
"Hello Mikoto-sama. I'm Hinata Hyuuuga. I was invited by neither of your sons. I was sparring with Itachi-san and your husband invited me inside. After an intense staredown and questioning, he demanded me to stay for dinner." I said smiling brightly.
"You are even cuter! Don't let big bad Fugaku-kun scare you. He must really like you to invite you to stay. I will talk more with you in the kitchen while we make dinner!" She said while dragging me into the kitchen. Geez all Uchiha don't know how to ask you to do something. SO forceful.
"Mikoto-sama I don't know how to cook." I said blushing in embarassment.
"That's alright I will help you." We spent the next hour preparing Onigiri. I suck at cooking. It took me 5 burned Onigiri before I successfully created made one. Mikoto teased me the whole time saying I am too boyish for such a pretty girl. After completing dinner we set the table and she called the boys to dinner.
Fugaku kneeled at the head of the table, Mikoto on his left, Itachi on his right. I was seated between Itachi and Sasuke and Shisui sat across from me. We were eating dinner in silence, Shisui and I making faces at one another before Fugaku spoke up.
"I will be training you on the days Hiashi is not. I would also like to speak to your parents about the marriage agreement." I hummed in acceptance absentmindedly before I choked on my water. I could tell I wasn't the only one blindsided because the others at the table were in just as much shock as me.
"M-M-Marriage. W-What are you talking about." Yeah, not happening. If sasuke is anything like canon I'm going to shank him before I'd ever have his children...and just no. I have much more important things to worry about than getting married, plus Itachi is like older than me, I'm 4. What the hell.
"You proved yourself to be the only female worthy of marrying one of my sons. You would like to unite clans, this is the best way." NOPE, that's a big no.
"Oh my gosh Hinata-chan you adorable girl are going to be my daughter-in-law!" Mikoto cheered, what the fuck.
"No wait! Thats not what I meant. I don't wanna be married I'm 4. I want to marry the one I love. I'm not ready to be married. I don't even like Itachi-san or duckbutt like that."
"Hn. You are not to be married until you are older. That is plenty of time to love them. I will allow them to decide with you on who to Marry." Wow, I love being able to make my own decisions so much. Why are all clan dads I'm stuck around such assholes about their power trips.
"Yes Tou-sama" Itachi responded dryly. He's not even going to try to disagree. Damn Itachi.
"Tou-sama, I don't want to marry freaky fists. She calls me duckbutt."
"Sasu-chan don't say that One day you will want to marry Hinata-chan and if you don't act soon Itachi-kun will steal her away." At that Sasuke pouted and shut up.
"But I'm 4. I don't like this, agh! nobody is listening." Shisui laughed at my and I mustered up the best glare I could but it failed and looked more like a pout. Damn my chubby faced cute-ness.
We finished up dinner and Fugaku sent Itachi to escort me home. I missed him telling Itachi to woo me because I'd be a good asset to the clan. The walk was awkward to say the least. I couldn't even look at him. He's hot and all but I don't wanna be forced to marry him. We neared my compound and I decided to break the silence.
"I liked our spar. I would like to do it again. Thank you for accepting me as a student Itachi-senpai. Thank you for walking me home. I will see you at training."
"Hn. You're welcome" He said and kissed my hand before he left. I walked inside and laid on my bed dazed, I feel like its weird but it's Itachi. Who the hell knows with Uchiha. I then fell into a dreamless sleep
A/N: THIS IS NOT A SPECIFIC ITACHI X HINATA NOR A SASUKE X HINATATHERE WILL BE MULTIPLE SHIPS PEOPLE HAVE AND IS LEANING MORE TOWARDS THE MULTIPLE ENDINGS OR NO ENDING IN ROMANCE SO YEAH! I GET ASKED A LOT AND AM LETTING YOU KNOW NOW...Pus I hate Sasuke and couldn't do a fanfic based only around his life like that.
I don't own Naruto..that is Kishimoto's baby, I just fucked with the plot and character power levels and stuff.
So I wanted to put this out there explaining what will happen for the next few chapters so people wont go and shout OP or Maru-sue so soon. In a lot of Fanfic..I definitely like these but just saying...people always make it if a character is reincarnated, they either become evil, are useless, reveal their identity too early and do nothing to actually change the plot, or are like super PTSD and weak and don't want a ninja life so when a character like what I'm working on actually wants to be strong and works to do it, they are OP because they are young but hear me out. If you were born in somewhere like Naruto and knew things on how to power up faster and what to change...wouldn't you do the same thing and get stronger sooner than other characters...then help those characters also get stronger faster than they did in the Manga/Anime? I mean it stands to reason that if you know how to become stronger from what characters trained like or you know how chakra works and ways to get stronger through training and you had the ability to practice and learn right when you can walk, you'd be way more impressive way sooner than a lot of the other kids your age in the Shinobi world (bar Kakashi and Itachi)...at least that's what I think would happen.
