"I can't believe MoMo! What was she thinking?" Itachi was fuming around the room and could have left his tracks on the floor boards he was pacing on.

"No it's my fault. I scared her. I didn't mean to get her in trouble." Hina felt bad about getting the smallest Uchiha in trouble. She picked her head up slightly to watch Sakura-sama work on her leg.

"It's not that bad, a little deep, but nothing major was hit. I should be finish in a bit but I want you off of that leg for the rest of the afternoon. I know you heal just as fast as your father but I'm hoping you're not as hard headed not to heed my instructions. And SIT DOWN ITACHI! You're going to burn a hole in my floor!" Itachi sat on the floor at his mother's command like a puppy. 'No one wants to deal with an angry mom with super human strength.' Itachi thought to himself.

"I was planning on hanging around here until dinner anyway if that's ok with you. I personally don't want mom to worry about it if it isn't that bad. You know how she gets when she is pregnant…she so sensitive." Hina was worried that her mother would overreact like she always did when her or her siblings got hurt.

"Of course sweetie, you're always welcome here. And believe me I know how your mother can be. I did grow up with her. Now how about itachi carries you to the living room and I will go make you a chocolate cake to make everything right ok?" Sakura looked at her son as he shot up on command to grab Hina.

"Umm I can walk…" "What did I say about staying off that leg?" Sakura interrupted with a glare.

"Don't worry I don't mind carrying you." Hina gave a sympathetic smile to itachi.

"Can we go outside instead though?"

"Anything you want princess." It had always been his nickname for her ever since the day after they met. She was upset about it at first but it had grown on her. Itachi was the only person who was allowed to call her princess and get always with it.

"Ready?"

Hina nodded and smiled her family's famous grin and she locked her hands around Itachi's neck as he picked her up gently off of the bed and headed toward the front door.

"Naruto, it would seem you are right this time." Sakura stared at her oldest child holding his best friend. Sakura reminisced for a second thinking of her and her husband early days as a couple. She remembered that one mission Sasuke had carried her that same way all the way back to Konoha.

"You better be right Naruto. They are the only chance we have"

"Why did you want to come outside?" Itachi said as he placed her on the front porch steps and watched her eyes look up to the cloudy sky.

"It's my kind of day today. You know I love the rain. The only way I can touch the entire village is when it rains."

She reached her hand out from under the porch as the rain started. "And I wanted to talk about our meeting tomorrow with Konohamaru-sensei. Do you think it's going to be hard?"

Even though she convinced everyone of her overpowering confidence, inside was a different story. Only Itachi knew about it. Hina actually had a lot of self-doubt in herself. She felt she was inadequate and unnecessary.

On the contrary Itachi know that she was perfectly adequate as a shinobi. An exceptional one at that. Her byakugan was not as strong as her brother or the rest of her family. She couldn't seem to get past the 50meter mark. Hiro was already closing in on 200meters. She had always felt like a failure when it came to her bloodline limit. But beside that everything else she accomplishes with ease.

She realized early what her chakra affinity was and researched many jutsu to compliment her wind style. Her speed and accuracy was above average, physical strength average but her best kept secret was her precise chakra control and the amount she held was off the charts. He had an idea why but was told by his mother and father to never speak of it.

But with all of her abilities she still was overall self conscious of herself on the battle field.

"We should be fine. We are exceptional as our parents like to say." Giving her a small smirk which made her grin back at him.

"I guess I'm just nervous. I do not want to be a failure, I want my villages respect, and I want to prove to them that I am a great shinobi. Then they will all acknowledge me for me." Her face turn sad and hung her head to the ground

Ever since she could remember she was always treated horrible by some of the villagers. She always had wondered why this occurred. She had never done anything hurtful to these people but it didn't stop them from chasing her. Fortunately she never knew how bad her father had it, it was way worse than her own treatment.

"Stop thinking about bad things. You're so pessimistic at times. No one would ever believe me if I told them that though. Whatever happens you know that I will always be there no matter what. Now pick that head up before I call Twig over to aggravate you." She giggled "oh please no anything but Twig." They both laughed at the frighten face she gave then looked up at the sky together and watched the rain fall to the grass.

"Sasuke, aren't they just the most adorable thing?" Sakura was watching them out of the kitchen window while icing her chocolate cake she had just made and Sasuke had just walked in from the back door.

"Hn, stop spying on them."

"Aww but Sasuke I just can't help it." She turned to smile at him and he returned her smile with a light poke to the forehead.

"I will be back late tonight; I have an interrogation with a shinobi from Iwagakure. This is the third one we found in the past year in land of fire territory. Shikamaru has a hunch that they are scouting the area. For why, I don't know yet. There could have been so many more that have passed through without detection."

"Naruto is not happy about this is he?" Sakura said with a sad expression.

"No he's actually really furious which is rare and is getting no answer from the Tsuchikage about the random shinobi. Stay on guard Sakura ok." He kissed the same spot as to where he had just poked her and was out the front door.

"You're leaving for an interrogation father? It's almost time for dinner." he said as he looked up at his father walking past him and Hina. That was the only reason his father ever missed dinner. That and missions.

"Yes. By the way the chocolate cake is finish, and make sure you escort Hina back home safely ok."

"Of course Father."

"Have fun torturing people Sasuke-sama!" Hina said with a wave. Sasuke smirked at her and was out of sight.

"Beside pessimistic you are just plain evil. Come on lets go get you some cake and then I will bring you home." Once again he picked up the small body and brought her inside to the kitchen and sat her on the bar stool.

"Here we are! One of the few people in this house who enjoy the sweets I make." Sakura past a plate with big chocolate piece of cake on it to Hina and laugh at how she devoured it in just a few bites.

"How can u eat that stuff, it's like pure sugar." Itachi said as he started munching on his fried green tomatoes.

"How can you not eat it? It's so delectable." Hina stuck her tongue at him and then looked out the window and saw that the sun was setting.

"I will pack half the cake up for you to bring home, make sure she gets home safely Itachi." Sakura knew how Hinata like tradition and that sunset for the Uzamaki family meant dinner, and don't be late.

Walking down the street they came across a tall slender girl. Her eyes were of the Hyuga but her skin was not as pale as there's. She always had kept that decent sized scroll on her hip strapped to her waist band. Her hair was long and a rich brown but was always kept in a ponytail and a pale red clip pushed her bangs back to the left side.

"Hey cousin!" Nema Hyuga was Neji's eldest daughter and second born. She was not quiet like her two other siblings. She spoke her mind and floated around with an air of poise and grace. She was the perfect image of what a female Hyuga should look like. With her long legs and thin body she was light on her feet, Perfect for the gentle fist technique which required speed with accuracy. When she did fight it was like watching water flow around you as you slowly drowned.

Hina was the younger cousin by just a few months but was still a little jealous of how her cousin got all the good looks compared to her.

She was short. Not fat or anything just short with these ever growing things on her chest that she had to tape down every morning. Her mother said that she would eventually grow into them and that she had to do the same thing.

Her father didn't get his height until he was 15 then he wouldn't stop growing. Hopefully the same would happen to her.

One thing that they did share was that clip. Hiashi gave every granddaughter he had a beautiful embodied clip that was once his wife's. She had many of them that she decorated her own hair with. It was one of her things that she loved to collect. Hina had a pale blue one pushing her own bangs to the side.

She touched her clip self-consciously. "Hey, what are you up to Nema?"

"Well, father is going to throw a banquet this weekend for the Hyuga clan graduates, since there is a few of us. I was going to have dinner with your family tonight and tell you guys the good news." Nema fell into step with them as she told Hina the news.

"Father said that our teams are invited also, it's going to be so much fun." She was really excited. Nema did have a tendency to go on and on about her father and everything that he's done. She was really a proud Hyuga that loved her clan but her father was her hero and if dad said jump she would touch space to please him.

Ok you guys here's another chapter for present tense. I'll probably be going back to the past next chapter. Actually I have an idea….how about this.
