I've recently re-read the reviews; I noticed that you guys have questions that I have not answered. First up:
Hinata6: My loyal reviewer. Let's see, well there will be no SasuHinaIta, its SasuHinaNaru, all the way! No, Itachi does not hate Hinata, he see's potential in her that rivals his own. The reason he acts like that around her is because he trusts her and wants to test her to see her reaction to him. You will have to wait and see the events that will transpire to see if Hinata does become Itachi's student. Do not worry my friend, all in due time…
kensinlover2002: Hinata does in fact have a crush on Naruto. But she also feels something else for him too! Hinata will still be seeing Naruto and Sasuke they will still hang out, train together with the Third on occasion and maybe go on more dates…
chibismiles5266: Actually no, there will be no more times skip maybe just weeks or months but no more years.
winterkaguya: No, Itachi does not like Hinata if anything he acts like that with her to see if she is afraid of him but also because he found her interesting and fun to tease!
netbreaker0: Thank you, I'm glad you looked at this story and I hope you'll keep enjoying it! Well yes, our Hinata is in love with both boys, tragic isn't it?! You are right thing's are going to turn bad, very bad…And no I would never, ever pair Sakura up with either Naruto or Sasuke! They both love Hinata, Sasuke would never admit it but his feeling's for Hinata are growing… but, I'm sorry to say it will have a tragic end…
phoenix-ninjaqueen: Well the reason it's M rated is for the chapters to come but, if you don't think it should be at the end of the story then tell me.
Now if you have any more questions, feel free to ask and this time I will answer them.
Side Story: Hinata meets Sakuya
In this story I will introduce new characters to the story some that I made up.
During this time our three young heroes are nine and it's been one year since Naruto joined the group; it's after chapter eight but before chapter nine.
I really don't want to go train today I drag my feet as I make my way to our training grounds.
It's not that I don't want to train and it's not even the fact that we'll get no training done like always because Sasuke and Naruto will be arguing and I' am supposed to keep the score.
I sigh as I shake my head letting my hair fall over my face.
I walk even slower, way slower then a turtle, I must look really ridiculous. I giggle to myself and then I heard it.
"Owww…that stupid piece of shit! Kill it!" I run towards the voice. I stop as I take in the scene.
There on the ground is a bloody baby white tiger, the tiger is dirty and it looks so small about the size of a three month old golden retriever. Even though it's been beaten it sill stands proud, it's shaking and barely has the strength to stay on it's four little paws there it is with it's small teeth showing and snarling at the four boys before it.
I look at a boy who is holding on to his hand which is bleeding it seems the tiger bit his hand, I see three boys advance on it and it's on guard, I run, I run faster then I've had to run before. I get a hold of it and clutch it against my chest.
The four boys look at me surprised at first but then come after me.
They try to take the tiger away from me but, I curl into a ball on the ground protecting the tiger and taking all the blows that are meant for it.
I don't cry out or anything as I feel them kick me in the back, some of the kicks connect to my ribs, my legs, head and arms, anywhere they could guarantee their kicks will hurt me the most.
I do not cry I will not let the tears forming in my eyes fall, even if as they are doubling their efforts for me to let go of the tiger.
I must stay strong if not for me then for the tiger.
"Stupid kid, let go of it so we could kill it!" I hear one of the boys yell.
"Yeah do you want to die to protect some stupid tiger?" I don't react to anything, I keep protecting the tiger, I must.
"This girl is retarded!" one boys says and they all start to laugh.
"HI-NA-TA! HII-NNAA-TAAA!" I hear Naruto yell out.
"Not so loud dope!" I hear Sasuke yell just as loud.
"Na-Naruto?" I say as I get up then I suck in a big breath and yell out. "NARUTO! SASUKE!" they come quickly and they see me, then they both get angry as they look at me then look over at the boys, Naruto and Sasuke's eyes show murderous intent towards the four boys.
"Naruto go protect Hinata, while I deal with these mother fuckers," Sasuke orders Naruto and for once Naruto does not argue.
"Hinata are you okay?" he asks me with concern in his voice and its showing in his eyes, all his anger is gone and only concern for me is left. I smile at him and nod. "Why were they beating you?" he asks me, I show him the tiger.
"Because of this little one, they were going to kill it and I could not let them!" I tell him as I feel my lower lip trembling and the tears start to fall on the tiger's fur.
"Ahh…it's so cute!!" Naruto was about to touch it but it bit his hand. "Owww…what was that for?" he asks the little tiger, I laugh.
"I don't think it like's boys especially after how those guys treated it I wouldn't like boys either," I tell Naruto. The tiger didn't bite Naruto too hard, not like the other boy, his hand was bleeding and you could see that it bit through the skin; Naruto just has small teeth marks that didn't even break into his skin. He keeps rubbing the spot giving the little tiger glares.
"Why, were they beating you?" Sasuke comes over not even winded after his fight with the bullies, I look over to find all four of them on the ground, beaten.
"I was protecting, the tiger," I say to him he was about to reach for it but, I hit his hand away. "It doesn't like boys."
"You could've warned me," I hear Naruto mumble and Sasuke grins at him, then he looks over at me.
"It looks pretty beaten up we should take it to the vet," Sasuke tells me as he looks at the tiger, which is sleeping in my arms; I feel its little heartbeat on my arm.
"Shouldn't we look for its mom?" I ask them but, before they could say anything we hear a roar. We all stay in place too afraid to move, then the little tiger stirs and cries out.
"I think she found us!" Naruto tells us, sounding scared.
I turn around to look at huge white tiger; it's about two times taller then us, as it walks you could see the muscles flex. I stay put captivated by the beauty of it, not afraid at all.
"It looks angry," Naruto whispers.
"Hinata leave the tiger on the ground and let's run," Sasuke whispers.
"I can't, I must tell it what happened!" I tell him.
"I don't think it will understand what you'll be telling it," he says, I ignore his sarcasm.
"Why don't you leave then," I tell him as I face the tiger once more. It was watching our every move, like it was ready to move and capture us if it needed to.
The little tiger lifts its head up and starts to meow not a low meow like a cat but a stronger, louder meow, then the bigger one starts to roar, it's like they are talking in their own language, I watch fascinated.
I notice as both tigers stop to look at me.
"My daughter tells me that you saved her from being killed," the big tiger tells me, I nod unable to form words.
"It could talk!" Naruto yells amazed.
"No, duh, you dope," Sasuke mutters.
"I' am Princess Akina and that tiger you have in your arms is my daughter Princess Sakuya, the only granddaughter the King has," she tells me.
"Wow, they are Princesses," Naruto says in awe.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Your Highness," I bow at her then I look down at Sakuya, "and you too."
"Thank you for helping me back there, I' am forever in your debt," Sakuya says to me.
"She could talk too!" Naruto yells, Sasuke just smacks him in the back of his head, muttering something about him being annoying and some other stuff.
"You were right I hate all human boys," she says as she looks over at Sasuke and Naruto.
"Hey, not all of us are the same. By the way you should've told me you didn't want me to touch you instead of biting me," Naruto tells Sakuya. "It's just not right to bite the future Hokage."
"I'm not allowed to talk in front of humans unless I get permission and my mom just gave it to me," she informs us.
"What are you doing here by they way?" Sasuke asks her, acting as if he's not interested in her answer.
"She ran away, she said she wanted to see the world of humans so she left the Palace and came here," Princess Akina tells us.
"So you guys don't live here?" Sasuke asks.
"No, we live in a different realm, one for only tiger's, our cousins live in the human world and those tigers are unable to speak."
"Oh…" the three of us say together.
"Actually, girl what is your name?" Princess Akina asks me.
"I'm Hinata Hyuga," I say she throws her paw down and a scroll appears.
"I want you to sign this scroll with your blood then make a fingerprint impression with all of your fingers with the hand you wish to use," I look at the scroll confused.
"Why?" I ask her still confused.
"With this scroll you'll be signing a contract with us, if you are ever in need of one of us all you have to do is form a few hand signs, use some of your blood and you'll be able to summon any kind of our tigers into your battle. Actually you are the first to be allowed to do this, you are the only human," she tells me as I go over to her and put Sakuya down then get the scroll so I could sign it. "You are going to have to be able to control your chakra because whatever amount of chakra you use will determine what size tiger you summon."
"Do I sign my full name?" I ask her she nods, I get a kunai out of my pouch and cut into my thumb and start to sign the scroll, I finish leaving all my fingerprints of one hand on the scroll, I get up and look at Princess Akina she nods as takes the scroll away, then picks up Sakuya and puts her on her nose.
"The signs you must do in order to summon us are as follows: boar, dog, roaster, monkey, and sheep. When you want to summon tiger you prepare your chakra, place the hand with which you signed the contract palm-down on the ground and do the hand signs in the order I told you, so until then, we'll see you later," with that they left, leaving behind a puff of smoke.
"Awe…I wanted to ask if I could do it too!" Naruto whines, I smile at him and look at the puff of smoke wondering what I got myself into.
One year later…
I've been wondering about the tigers for a long time, Sasuke tells me to try it already to see if it actually works, Naruto tells me to try it because he wants to see a cute baby tiger.
I'll admit it, I'm kind of afraid, what if they don't find me worthy enough to summon them or something.
The boys aren't here right now, the Third sent them to a restaurant to pick up his food, so I' am all alone. I look at the scar that was left after I cut it with the kunai, you could barely see it unless you look closely.
I close my eyes as I start to gather my chakra ready to summon Sakuya, I bite down on my thumb and do as Princess Akina told me to, I hear something, I open my eyes slowly to see a big tiger.
"Hey, you aren't Sakuya," I tell it, "not that I'm complaining but I wanted to summon Sakuya."
"It's me, Hinata," she tells me, I feel my eyes grow bigger as I look at Sakuya, she's changed she's taller then me and her black stripes are gone she's snow white, with a blue eyes and a rosy pink nose.
"What happen to your stripes?" I ask her as I walk around her to look at her better.
"I've been told that I' am one in every hundred million, that grow with stripes then they disappear by themselves and stay a snow white, my clan has not seen one like me in over a hundred years," she says to me, as I face her once more.
"Your beautiful Sakuya," I say to her, she just nods at me. "You get that a lot?" I ask her she nods.
"Why have you summoned me until now?" she asks me as she lays down, stretching out her arms and her legs are under her and her tail is wagging on the floor moving the dirt up.
"Well, I was kind of scared you guys might find me unworthy or something," I confess to her.
"Well the King would like to meet you, he said if he finds you worthy he will let your children to have a similar contract with us, that only your offspring will be given the privilege to summon the tiger's when they want," she tells me as she lays on her side.
"Really, now I' am really nervous," I tell her.
"Do not worry, I'll tell Grandpa that you are worthy and he'll accept it and grant the right to your children," she tells me as if it's nothing, she gets up and sits then looks around. "This is the first time I've been out since I escaped, it looks the same," she tells me.
"Actually I would like to ask something of you," I tell her she looks down at me waiting for me to continue. "I was wondering if you would like to train with me so that we could work on our teamwork, so you know if I ever summon you into battle, we could get some kind of combinations and all that."
"Okay," she responds. "I could use ice or snow but I could also use water or air, what can you use?" she asks me.
"What do you mean that you could use ice, snow, water, or air?" I ask her confused.
"Just watch me," she says as she sucks in a big breath and lets it out, and about twenty trees are left without leaves.
"Oh, that's cool," I tell her. She then looks up at the sky and I notice her eyes become pure white with no pupil in it then; I start to feel cold and look to see snow falling out of the sky. I look over at Sakuya completely and utterly amazed at her. Then her eyes become blue again and it's still snowing, she opens her mouth and some water comes out but instead of spraying out into the ground it stayed in the air and it started to form ice crystals, that had sharp ends to them then they went flying in to the ground. I just stare at her not being able to close my mouth. "You are able to do all of that after one year?" I whisper.
"Yup, aren't I amazing?" she asks me as the snow stops falling, I keep looking at her.
"Sakuya, I' am unworthy," I tell her.
"No, that's not true, you are worthy," she tells me. "Actually you know what I think we could form a great team, with time of course," she says, I just nod.
What Sakuya said was true with time we have become a great team, in just three years we are able to communicate without forming words just by looking at each other we know what one another is thinking. At first she'd let me ride on her back so that I wouldn't slow her down but, now I' am able to keep up with her without being winded. I haven't actually called her into battle with me since no one really knows I' am able to summon tigers, except Naruto, Sasuke and the Third. Sometimes all four of us train together, Sakuya complained at first saying that they are not good enough to team up with her, Naruto yelled at her and Sasuke just glared at her his eyes speaking for themselves. I showed her that Naruto and Sasuke would make a great asset if we all teamed up and she allowed it, when she saw Sasuke's talent and later when she saw how Naruto has gotten a lot better she also accepted him but, not without complaints. For some reason she likes to pick on Naruto and he is a dork that let's whatever Sakuya say get to him.
I've also been training with other tigers some bigger then Sakuya but also some that are smaller.
The King has found me worthy enough to be able to pass down my contract to my kid's. I actually have met him on occasion; he is much like the Third. The King has also granted me permission to summon him if I need him, I've been told by Sakuya that the King is proud that I' am the first human to be able to summon them, that his daughter made the right choice to allow me.
All the tigers that I have summoned have being very obedient unlike Sakuya who questions everything. But I don't have the same kind of friendship with the other tigers like I do with Sakuya. She is my only female friend, I know she is a tiger but she's still a girl. With her I could talk about everything, I've actually told her about Itachi, the part about him telling me that I will become his student. I've also told her about my feelings toward Sasuke and Naruto, she tells me it's so obvious that they are both too stupid or dense and maybe both not to notice it, with her I' am able tell her my fears, dreams, my childhood stories with Sasuke, and all my problems. She also trusts me enough to tell me all her private thoughts, she is my best friend, okay so is Sasuke and Naruto but it's different with her with her I could talk about girl stuff, which is awesome because the boys sometimes forget that I' am in fact a girl. Sakuya has some how made my life more complete and for that I'll be forever thankful.
I copied the summoning jutsu from Naruto Volume 11, and the thing about Sakuya's eyes turning pure white, I got that from X-men you know when Storm controls the weather, like that. I'm sorry if it sucked, I promise I'll rewrite it better I'll add some more stuff, but I kind of wanted to get it over with because I wanted to continue the story.
The next chapter I'll be continuing the story where I left off before this chapter.
