We make it to the city in one piece and I remember why I hate big cities like this one since the noise with my extra senses make it almost painful. We go to where their mission is which happened to a rich lord's house and were invited into his office.

"Ah, you must be the team sent from Mist; I need you to take this to your Kage as swiftly as possible. This is vital importance and make sure no one reads it all understand?"

We all nod and he hands the scroll to Yodo who as soon as were out of sight hands it to me for safe keepings. Well technically the whole don't read thing was applied to the Nins and I'm not a Nin right? So that is how I justify absorbing the scroll and filing it away till I can unlock it in my mind later.

When we head back into town I separate from the others to go buy some rare herbs and a huge amount of scrolls that I sealed into a scroll using my own special seals to do so. When I head to the meeting spot I bump into someone's back.

'Ah gomen."

"Watch where you're going girl."

"I would but I'm blind-"

"Hinata-chan help!" I tense and so does the guy in front of me as we both search, me for the one who screamed and him for Hinata-chan. I use my chakra vision and see I'm in the middle of the street and Yodo and everyone is being held by some rogue Nin including the one I just bumped into.

'Who is this Hinata? Does she have the scroll? Come out, come out where ever you are or they die."

"Ah, you see asking me to come out would imply I was hiding, I wasn't because I'm in fact standing right beside you."

I duck as I use my chakra in solid form and split the man in two like I was cutting warm butter.

'"well that worked well."

Others charged at me but I sidestepped them and dodged them with ease while I manipulated their chakra to become erratic and unbearably painful. I untied the others as Naoya guided me around the screaming bodies and out of the city where we met up with the others.

"Hinata-chan what did you do to those men?" I looked down to where Yuki's voice asked me the question.

'I didn't kill them if that's what you're asking. I manipulated their chakra to become erratic and painful."

"All this time I always thought that you-… never mind."

"Go on, I won't laugh." I put my arm around the girl's shoulder, I hate having people scared of me.
"I always pictured you being fragile, I mean you're always doing research and I never see you actually training. I thought we were here to protect you not the other way around."

She reminded me of that girl who escorted me to those months back but I clear that image and focus on my present.

"Whether you notice or not you do protect me from something much more dangerous then any rogue Nin."

"More dangerous?"

"Ah Hai, myself. I don't know if I would be the person I am today with out meeting you guys. And as far as protecting me from bandits, I rather put myself between you and such hardship as long as possible. After all you're only young once right?"

She laughs at me and the others join in as I'm secretly glad their fear of me is no longer showing in their chakra.

"You're 4 years older then us! You're not old! But my sensei on the other hand is just plain ancient." I laugh at Kira's insult as Yodo whacks him on the head while saying he still knew how to be cool and that he still had some moves which only further drove us into laughter.

When we get home days later I walk into my office through the path of scrolls towered high from almost every surface of the ground except the desk, fireplace and couch. I start writing more of my findings when Naoya comes in and gives me my dinner while trying not to get killed by my scroll mountains.

"Yeesh every time we come back there's a new mountain of scrolls! Why don't you file them instead of just piling them in a certain part of the room?"

"I left a path for you to get to me and the couch so what more do you want?" He rolls his eye as he takes one of my scrolls and starts to read. He falls asleep on the couch as usual and I find my way to the kitchen and take out the necessary ingredients to make a chakra drink which I had created.

My research is going along smoothly with my new findings. So far I've been able to predict and study the distinctive characteristics of all living things and with my chakra waves. I've been able to change the state of chakra thus enabling me to convert my chakra into other beings, using it against them and to help them. I experimented with changing the forms of chakra with being in direct contact and after many failures I was successful but only under the condition it's my chakra or I have mixed with the others chakra first.

But I can manipulate others chakra if I'm in contact with it by using my chakra mist method, chakra string method or infusion method.

Experiment 378- I'm able to form my blade into a hard solid substance that can with stand Yodo's attacks.

-I only have to use a thin layer of my chakra in kind of a blue glowing shield that also tested against the elements as well.

-I have shrunk the shield into body part armor like a breast plate or as detailed as a glove.

-I began to manipulate my armor to attack. If an opponent has captured me by the neck (my back to his front) I will be able to spike my chakra through him like a sword or spike and render him dead.

-I have begun to form my chakra into blades successfully cutting down thick trees with one swipe. And since I'm able to create solid chakra that stays outside of my body with out a seal I can throw the blades as well.

Luckily Yodo is a Kin jutsu expert and has taught me his seal knowledge. I have broken down seals to find there are 52 basic seals with different properties and countless combinations. I have experimented with those as well and have come up with success. I have been able to shrink unloving things like scrolls or furniture. And so I went a step further by infusing a scroll into another scroll thus creating a solution to my filing dilemma. It is also quite handy when I can pack a house full of furniture and equipment in one scroll instead of carrying it places. I have gained other seal knowledge but I have written those down on other scrolls.

In this time I have also taken up botany again from my younger days by creating medical creams and drinks with combining drinks. Though I'm only dabbling I would like to further expand my research as I have the kids building me a green house as I write which should be complete today in fact.

Two months later

I'm sitting with Yodo watching the kids train on a Thursday afternoon where the fall breeze nips through my blue kimono but I simply adjust my chakra to a hot temperature and so I don't feel the cold at all.

"Hinata-chan, I'd like to thank you for your help."

"You're the one whose been helping me Yodo."

"It's been nine months since you've been here and the change is already so great in yourself and the children it makes me proud."

"Ah they have gotten stronger haven't they?"

"Hai and I now believe they're almost ready for the exams." A cold feeling washed over at those words as I knew where he was going.

"Ah, when is it then?"

"Three months from now and its in Kohona." I smile at that thought but bad memories of my past exam doesn't let me smile for real.

"If it's not so bold I would like all the children to move in so they can focus on their training. I've heard Suna and Kohona have some extremely tough Genin. They say they might be the next rookie nine but those are rumors."

"Next rookie nine huh? Ah who knows? But you're all the more welcome to it and I think it will help Naoya-kun."

"Before you came along I've never seen him smile or care about anyone else but his training."

"I believe that change in him has nothing to do with me. All I have given him is the room to grow and he did the rest by himself."

"Humble as always?"

"Flattery? I see there is more you want to ask me?" He chuckles at me ability to see right through him.

"Hai, you see right through people don't you?" Hai and it's not always a good thing I've learned.

"Well then I'm listening."

"I would like you to become a medic Nin again for the village. The hospital is too far away for the people who are sick and can't get to the hospital."

"What makes you think I have the ability?"
"What makes you think you don't? You've already crossed all bounds in seals and chakra knowledge Hinata and your background in medical knowledge is already astounding by any means. Besides, do you know how many people you can help alone?"

"I hate when you do that."

"Hmm what?"

"Appeal to that side of me that I can't help it."

"Like I said Hinata-chan, you're not the type of person to refuse helping others. In fact I think its one of those traits that landed you here right? And I'm thankful for it indeed."

Yodo had spread word about me being a doctor and before I knew it the parlor I had never used had become my doctor's office that was always full. The kids and Yodo had moved in and are training in the backyard as I see patient after patient. Most of their problems were easily fixed but some took me time and I even had to go so far as to operate on some poor fellow. Of course I had to knock him unconscious as he was a little worried about a blind person operating on him. I found that after a month people kept on coming back with the same problem so I started experimented with the plants and I found cures and remedies for those common problems. So that stopped the repeating costumers and I found more time for my seal research and my botany experiments.

Of course playing doctor had tired me out in the beginning and the fact having two hyper active kids in my house didn't help. I enjoyed the late evenings where Yodo, Kira and Yuki went to bed leaving me and Naoya alone in my office in peace.
