Back to Hinata POV

"Are you leaving?" I can feel the shift in Naoya's chakra and I can tell he's worried.

"I will be very soon."

"Do you have to?"

"Hai, I'm endangering mist by being here, its time for me to go home."

"Where is your home?"

"Kohona."

When I finish packing everything into my three scrolls I stand to look at my friends.

"I sense they're coming for me so I should meet up with them and I leave the house in your capable 14 year old hands Naoya-kun."

"No my honey!" I hug Kira back for once as he cries into my robe before Yuki is crying and hugging me. They let go and I face Yodo with a smile.

"It was an honor being your friend and sensei." We smiled as shook hands as I turned toward another two.

"When I come to visit you better have named one of your many future children after me!" I smile at them to let them know I was kidding but when they hugged me and whispered their thanks I wondered if they actually would.

"Old friend I'll be sure to polish my shoji game for when we play next."

"Good, I might actually have to try." We smile and that's all was needed, just a promise of another day and I'm left with the last of my goodbyes.

"I never did meet your family."

"Next time. I'll miss you."

I hug him tight as I whisper into his ear.

"Have a good life little brother and make me proud ne?" When I leave, I walk around the village because that was one goodbye that I did not want to repeat and so I head off to meet my old friends.

I sense I rift in the air that means there's battle going on near by so I sent out my waves of chakra and I surprised to see Matsuri and another Kohona Nin and they were losing. I was there in minutes as I used a wooden branch like a bow stick and knock a couple of men and their buts while infusing the air with chakra including all the bodies. They back us up against each other and surround us but I just smirked at them.

"I know you!"

"Eh really?"

"Ah, you're that blind doctor aren't you?"

"My, no wonder you were made leader but if you were really smart you won't fight me."
"What can I blind woman do?"

"Win." I do the seal as use my chakra to make it stop flowing as they drop like sacks of flour and as motionless.

"Wow what did you do?"

"Who knows? But that aside it is very nice to see you again Matsuri-chan."

"Hinata-chan?"

I smile at her she hugs me as I turn my head toward the unknown Nin.

"I know you're from Kohona but I don't think we've met."

His chakra is surprised from its usual normal confused state.

"How did you know?"

"You have that certain Kohona identifier in your system like Matsuri has one for Suna."
 "Your chakra senses are that high?"

"Ah who knows, I believe your missing two team mates? By the residue its Shino-kun and Chouji-kun and they- ah see they went to the town right?"

"Are you sure you're blind?"

"Hai, don't worry, you have the right person."

"You knew we were looking for you?"
"Hai, felt Kohona and Suna presences miles away and it was only a matter of time before Naruto-kun read the diary."

He waited for an half an hour till I sensed Shino and Chouji coming as I was hid by the shade of the tree so they didn't see me but Shino-kun didn't need to as I walked into his waiting arms.

"Hinata-chan? You found us?" I wave at Chouji before shino finally lets me go and I hug Chouji as Sai starts talking

"You never told me your friend was the blind Doctor, we're lucky she showed up or we'd be dead by now."

"I didn't know."

"You guys haven't connected the dots yet? Yeesh Shika-kun is getting slow."

"Yeah well everyone is still processing the fact you're alive."

"Ah gomen I had my reasons.

'"yeah we know about giving up your eyes." I freeze at Chouji's words before I ask them a question that's got me scared.

"Does Neji know?"

"Hai he was there when it was read out loud." They all knew? Crap.

"Great. Let's go ne?"

When we walk into the gates I'm glomped by lee who's hugging me and crying about my strong youthfulness

"Thank you lee, I'm fine."

"But giving up your sight for you beloved-" I sighed in relief as shino shut up lee knowing I didn't to hear it. Chouji guide me forward gently and soon Shin took my other arm and I didn't have the heart to tell them I could walk perfectly ok by myself.

"I'm hungry, can we go to the ramen stand please?"

"But the others are going to want to know your back."

I wave the suggestion as I head to the stand as they catch up and start guiding me again. We sit down as the girl who I remember correctly is the owner's daughter.

'Hinata-chan?"

"Hai, it's been awhile so I don't know what's on your menu-" And that's as far as I got as I'm spun around and hugged by the crying girl.

"Nice to see you to." Her father comes from the kitchen demanding to know why she hugging a customer when the old man yells out;

"Hinata-chan your back!" He comes around and gives me a hug and starts talking but my stomach rumbles and I blush in embarrassment.

He gives some chicken ramen on the house and three bowls later and some amazed people I hear my name called.

"Hinata-chan!" The voice is all I need to recognize Naruto-kun.

I go to get up but I forget I'm sitting on I high stool and I fall on the ground adding to my hurt behind.

"eh! Hinata-chan are you ok?" Naruto's voice is loud as its right in my face but I just wave him off holding my hands up for Shino to pull me up.

"Ah I'm fine, I forgot how high those stools were!" Then he hugged me and lifted off the ground and swung me around and around till he was punched in the head and I was dropped to the ground once again.

I'm picked by another pair of strong arms as I'm pulled into I tight embrace that I recognize as Kiba. What unsettles me is his heart is beating and his chakra levels were fluctuating. He's in love with me?

I pulled out of that grasp by Tenten who squeezed me almost pain fully so I'm relieved when the next hug is soft and smells like smoke.

"It's been to long Hinata-chan."

I smile into Shikamaru before I'm hauled into a sandwich hug which turned into a tug-a-war.

"Let go forehead girl!"
"No Ino-pig, Hinata is more of my friend the she's yours!"

I'm passed around for a few more rounds of hugs with the rookie nine and people who recognized me from the streets.

" Enough!" They all look at me surprised.

"I feel like a hug slut." They all started laughing as they started hugging me again. When will this torture stop?

"Hokage-sama, Hiashi-sama and the council would like to welcome back Hinata-sama." I couldn't control the speed of my heart and it deafened all my senses. I guess I never got around to operation get over Neji did I?

I jumped as I had realized Neji had grabbed my arm and put and arm around my back and is now guiding away from Hug Hinata-fest.

Of course being alone with Neji made me almost want to go back to that torture. We walked in silence broke only by his warning of roots and steps and my thank you. We were at the gate of the hyuuga gate and before I opened it I heard Neji's words.

"I'm happy your back Hinata-sama." I turn around and reproach him before I wrap my arms around him in a moment of selfishness. I close my eyes as I focus on his chakra and heart beat to find it was very erratic. He wrapped his arms around me and my pulse joined in the race.

"Neji-"

"Omouto!" Neji lets go and steps back as Hanabi barrels through the door s to hug me. I smile as I picker up and swing her around in a moment of happiness but I feel her stiffen.
'I'm fine Hanabi."

"But you can't see."

"Sight isn't everything imouto. Now will you escort me to father and the council?"

"Hai!" She takes me further into the compound and all I want do is turn around and go back into those arms I longed for.

And before I know it I'm in front of the council that dismiss Hanabi leaving us in the only sound proof room in the house.

"Hinata-sama please sit down." I smile at them but I shift on my feet as I don't use my perception in this room with people who would easily sense it.

"Um, where?" I hear someone get up and warm, large hands take my shoulder gently and guides me to a mat in the middle of the room and leaves with a squeeze.

"Hinata-sama it makes us happy you're alive."

"Thank you but we both know you don't have to refer to my such a respectable matter because I'm no longer an Hyuuga."

"Who said that?"

"I don't have my eyes."
"Hinata-sama we would never exile you nor will we strip you of your title in fact we summoned you here to ask you if you would resume your position." I have to say I'm speechless.

"Why?"

"Hinata-sama you are the future of hyuuga, we have a difficult two years while you were gone and we realized we need a change so we prayed and the heavens answered with bring you back to us."

"Ah you mean with the hyuuga being framed for those attacks made by cloud. Yes I was rather angry about it so I took care of it and have obtained everything they have collected and destroyed the eyes they had."

"Are you saying that your H. Blind doctor?"

"Uh yeah but in my defense I didn't choose the name, that was a friend of mine."

"Let me be the first to say it will be an honor being a part of the clan you will lead."

"Thank you."

We continue much into the late morning signing everything I need to and making arrangements before I spoke up.

I get out of the room dead tried but not enough as I take a walk around the compound till I find that I need fresh air. I leave out the back door and I walk down a path that's barely used and I as go higher up the path I trip over a root because I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. I fall down the hill that was surprisingly high and when I stop it isn't because there was no more hill, it's because I had run into something very solid and painful.

After laying there for a while I get up to find some building had stopped my fall. I walked around the front and found the doors to be lock with at least ten locks but I easily open them up and enter. When I do I figure out that this is an abandoned green house about a mile away from the main house. I mean it's over run, dirty and slightly scary but I smile as I think about the experiments I could perform here before I set to work summoning 5 clones to start cleaning. I took out my scroll and activated and chose the garden supplies to summon outside in front of the house. I take out the tools as I summon five more clones, 2 outside and three inside trimming and making sure everything isn't over run.
