A/N: So I wake up the morning after posting this story and I check its status, and I find 13 Reviews, 31 Followers, and 21 Favorites. And now with 21 reviews, 67 followers, 40 favorites, and 1 Community as I'm posting this. Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much attention this has already gotten, especially when compared to my other fics. I guess it goes to show how doing something no one else has done can really pay off. Thanks everyone!

To those of you who didn't like the Naruto beating, I apologize. I know it's cliché and there's no evidence it ever happened in canon, but I couldn't think of better way for Hinata to prove herself to a sage. Sure, I could've had Hinata prove her bravery to the bullies, but then I thought, 'Would a sage really be impressed enough to give her his blessing for standing up to a bunch of school bullies? Not really.' So forgive me for doing that. But just so guys know, that was the ONLY time in this story Naruto was beaten by adults; it never happened before nor will it happen again.

Now there's one thing about this story that I'm having trouble deciding on: What should I do with Sasuke? Should I keep him as he is in canon, make him good, or make him good but pretend he's evil(like spying on Orochimaru and Akatsuki)? I ask this because I'm considering having Hagoromo contact Naruto and possibly Sasuke earlier than in canon due to Hamura making contact with Hinata. What do you think? I'll be putting up a poll on my profile. PLEASE VOTE!

Sorry to say, but it may take a while for me to write the next chapter. I was originally going to do another chapter on the 8 year old Naruto and Hinata, but that's proving difficult so I may end up just timeskipping to the Graduation, and putting some moments within the timeskip as flashbacks, like how Naruto and Hinata officially became friends for example. To hold you guys over, I'm putting a short little scene that was original going to be the beginning of the next chapter right here as an omake.

Omake: Ancestors

"I never expected you to meddle with the modern world."

"I did what I thought had to be done. I do not wish to see the Hyūga destroy themselves."

"How noble of you. But was it necessary?"

"It was not the only reason. You know about the creature, do you not? And what it plans to do?"

"...I do."

"To prevent that plan from coming to fruition, the shinobi of this era will need all the help they can get."

"I suppose you are right. That creature's plan will only bring disaster to the world."

"So what is preventing you from making contact with them?"

"One of them had just lost his entire clan and has now declare himself an avenger. I fear any power I give him, he will only use to satisfy his hatred."

"He is still young. Surely with the right guidance, he can be swayed off the path of vengeance."

"If he is as much like Indra as I fear, then that will be easier said than done."

"And what of the other boy?"

"He has no natural talent. But then neither did Asura when he started out. Right now I am waiting to see if he is as much like him as I hope."

"It will not be easy for him, considering his situation. But perhaps all he needs is one friend to drive him to greatness. I have no doubt my chosen will become that friend. She is a lot like her. She may be shy, but she will pull through when it matters most."

"I cannot argue with that. So what of your other chosen?"

"She is too far from Konoha, and a blank canvas at the moment. Much like yours, she just lost almost all of her fellow clansmen. I will make contact when the opportunity presents itself."

"I see. I hope you know what you are doing, Hamura."

"As do I, Hagoromo."

A/N: I know it's short, but it's a sign of things to come. I hope you like it. Let me know any opinions you may have. And remember to vote.
