"What happen?"
Hina had just woken up in her hospital bed and found her teammates to her right and left.
Itachi was on her right with wraps around his arms and bandages over his eyes. He was slightly snoring and sleeping on his back with his face facing Hina.
Twig was on her left with a few scrapes on his face and his hands heavily wrapped. He was on his stomach with his bandaged hands on each side of him. He was also facing Hina but apparently sleeping.
She examined herself. She was untouched. No scars, no marks, or bruises. She was a little sore but that was it.
"They are your teammates for a reason." Hina looked up to see her father sitting in the corner in the room they occupied. He looked a little worn out and kind of upset. She hated seeing her father like this. She remembered when her father was more carefree and laughed a lot more. But with the random ninja that have been showing up in the fire boarders her father was never at ease.
"What do you mean father?" she adjusted herself on her bed and put a pillow behind her head.
Naruto got up and sat at the edge of her bed.
"Hina you're a special child. There is something more than just blood that binds me and you. Something more of a family heirloom, though it is usually not treasured or very well liked, the Uzamaki family is responsible for this heirloom."
"What does that have to do with my teammates, what happen, why are they hurt, and what … what is this?" Hina was pulling her bangs back when she noticed a small paper charm on her forehead.
"You don't want to take that off yet until I examine your seal ok? That is the paper charm command "sit"" Naruto removed her hand from her head.
"Everything will tie with the other just listen to me with an open mind.
You were born to die." Hina's eyes shot open.
"You were never supposed to stay alive as long as you have. You were born without a fully developed chakra system so internal stability was never there. Doctors didn't expect you to live. I didn't expect you to live. You remember the story of the Kyuubi?"
Hina calmed down some to answer the question. "Yes I do. You have full control of him right?"
"Yes I do but his conscience is always with me. The night you were born he gave me a choice. He gave me the option to have you survive by putting his seed, his offspring into you by sealing it in the undeveloped chakra system. We didn't know if it would work but I was so desperate to keep you alive that I didn't care of the consequences." Naruto was now holding his only daughters hand.
"My father sealed the Kyuubi into me to save the village just as they did with my mother and grandmother. That's why I called it an heirloom. The Uzamaki clan protects the village by sacrificing their body as a cage." Hina's though process what writing on her face. Her eyes darted back and forth to her teammates then to her father.
"But I just have the Kyuubi's offspring in me, what's going to happen?" she let her hand escape from her fathers and started to fidget.
"I am the only one of the Uzamaki that has ever controlled the Kyuubi fully, so when I die he dies but since you now have his offspring you will learn to control it so it can die with you. But until then you have Itachi and Twig." Once again she glanced at both teammates Itachi appeared to still be sleeping but Twigs eyes were on her.
"That's why we were placed on the same team as you. My father Yamoto helped your dad to control the Kyuubi just like I want to help you control you…" a slap landed on his face.
"YOU KNEW!" tears where in her eyes and a surprised look on both Naruto and Twigs face. Hina's voice became really tiny
"Is that why you became my friend, as an order to the hokage to keep me from destroying the village if I ever get out of hand? And Itachi I might not see your eyes but I know you've been up." He lifted his head to her. She flicked his ear.
"Oww! They weren't orders from the hokage! I figured out when I first developed my sharingan a while back. Dad told me not to tell you because your father wanted to it wasn't my place to say anything about it."
Hina dropped her head…"I feel like I'm the only one who didn't know about my own self. Why hide this so long. Why wait until I got out of hand instead of telling me 'be careful Hina don't get out of hand or you could possibly destroy the whole village and everyone you love.' Did that thought ever occur to you father? Or was it one of those time where you thought you can handle everything?" Hina voice was rising again and she was starting to shake all over.
"So what now FATHER? Am I going to turn into a monster and destroy the world? This is why everyone hates me isn't it? This is why I'm always being chased and cursed at right?" Hina looked at her hands and to her father.
"You're not a monster Hina and you have people that love…" "This whole village thinks I'm a monster. I can't believe you hid this from me for so long. Don't get me wrong father I'm thankful you saved my life but now I wonder if it's actually worth it. The pain from the fights and beatings. The name calling and curses." She started a full outcry. Loud and hard she cried until her hands were soaked with her wet tears.
Naruto didn't know what to do. He rose to his feet and walked to the door. He turned to look at his sobbing daughter.
"At least you had a family and friends to share your pain. Try being alone from the start." He slammed the hospital door. The once happy go lucky Naruto was slowly dying.
'Iwa ninja roaming my lands, my wife having early contractions, and now my child hates me. The life of a hokage, believe it.'
With those thoughts Naruto walked down the hallway and sat on a nearby chair. He would have to go back in and adjust her seal before he left. He just wanted her to relax a little.
"I just don't know how to feel about this you guys." She was still sniffling after she heard what her father said. She never did realize that he had nothing and nobody when growing up. She was so far better off than her father ever was at her age. Now she just felt horrible that she made him feel bad.
"It's ok; didn't I tell you that we got your back? We are your friends because we chose to be. Not because it was an order. We just so happen to be the one of the few people that can control you when you get a little…angry…" she looked at Itachi and was grateful for his words. She looked to Twig for the same reassurance.
"It's true. I may have known who you were when I met you but I just felt so bad that those other kids were being mean to you that I just had to do something."
"I'm sorry you guys. I need to apologize to him." Hina was about to get up out of the bed but at that moment a flash of red finally zoomed into the room.
With a burst of wind and sand the bed sheets and pillows were up in the air and the end result…
"MY SWEET HINA, WHAT HAVE THESE ANIMALS CALLED YOUR TEAMATES DONE TO YOU?"
Kenta, the oldest son of the Kazekage children, who was also Hina's godfather, was in front of her with Twig in a headlock and a wall of sand closing in on Itachi.
"Stop, what the hell you are doing Kenta? Put Twig down and get that sand away from Itachi!
NOW!"
Once again her facial features started to change. Her light blue Hyuga eyes turned red and her canine teeth grow to animalistic lengths. Her nails grow until they ripped into the mattress and her hair started to shift to a dark reddish color. The marks on her face more promenade and she sat up more alert. The three boys's realized what had happen. In the mist of the quarrel something knocked off the charm that was on her forehead and it lay up against the window across the room.
"Twig, Itachi? What is wrong with Hina?" Kenta had always known something different was up with her but it just clicked that maybe his attraction to her was because of this monster demon she held inside of her. A demon of the same caliber he had inside himself.
"You guys I feel her chakra changing into something evil again. I can't see what's going on you guys is she ok?" Itachi eyes were still wrapped from the previous battle with her. He couldn't see a thing but he knew she had just lost control.
Itachi started to unwrap his eyes as Twig did the same with his hands. Itachi's eyes were crusted with dried blood while his teammate's hands were scorched. Twig looked down at his hand to see the number 2.
"Only 2 this time Itachi not as bad as the 4 last time, I'm guessing her body is still weak." Twig had put his serious face on and was putting his training that his father taught him to work. Two wooden fox statue columns rose from the ground.
"Wait a second, are you saying Hina is a…" "Jinchuuriki" Twig and Itachi answered Kenta at the same time.
"I am the kit of Kyubi no Yoko. Show a little respect I'm like royalty." The once anger Hina was now calm with the same animalistic features and red hair but now she had acquired two bubble chakra tails wavering around her.
The three boys looked in complete and utter shock.
