Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
AN: Finally, I've wanted to get to this event for a while. My other story should have been updated before this one just stuck on the last part of that chapter. Naruto displays a bit of his no-shit attitude in this chapter as well.
Useful76: I actually have a few missions planned, maybe 2 or 3 more chapters before the exams. I want to get the plot moving.
DarkSyde24: I kind of wanted some of the stuff they learned to be a surprise, and I never seem to be able to write out training. Missions and other events won't rush like that.
This is a non-beta version.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Chapter 8: Choice of Life
Training? It was done, well training is never done but the tree month spree was completed. They now have the skill to go along with their power. Next was experience, but that would come soon. Right now the girls were waiting for him to arrive for their instructions for today.
Ino proudly wore her sword strapped to her back with a smile on her face. Yesterday after training he let them take the weapons with them, as they were now property of the girls. Hinata did have her gloves on but Ino noticed that she now wore her forehead protector around her forehead instead on her neck like she used to.
Wanting a way to pass the time and escape boredom Ino decided to ask about the change. "Hinata, why did you change the way you wear your forehead protector? I thought it was cool that none of us did." She asked.
Hinata quickly search her brain for an excuse. While trying to make something believable and being a bad liar said more than what was needed. The Hyuuga could have just said she felt like it but her reason was "I hurt myself training yesterday and I'm using it to cover up the bandages."
"I hope that you're ok, you should be careful while training. You don't want to leave a scar." Said Naruto who just arrived to hear the explanation, startling the girls with his reply.
"We have a C-Rank mission that will last 4 days but it starts in two days. Use this time to prepare and relax. It should not involve combat but come prepared for it anyway. Ino and Sakura you can go and do whatever it is you do but no training. Hinata stay here I have to talk to you about something." Said Naruto.
The two just nodded and left, leaving Naruto and Hinata alone. Once they were out of sight Naruto said "Hinata, take off your forehead protector." She the slowly untied it and when it feel it revealed bandages wrapped around her head. "Remove the bandages as well." He said. Even slower she removed them, when they were off Naruto could clearly see the real reason why she wore them. The Hyuuga Caged Bird Seal.
"Why did that happen?" he simply asked and then she told him the story.
FLASH BACK
She had finished the last day of training and was headed home. Hinata was practically oozing pride now that she could use her gloves efficiently. Even with the help of the clones, using the chakra strings the way she wanted was hard work. She had become extremely conformable with the gloves on her arm and now that they were officially hers she planned to keep them on even at home.
'I wonder what they will think of them, these gloves are perfect for a Hyuuga. We can still use Juken but also with the added effect of our element. With our Byakugan we can see the chakra strings and how they are moving easily.' She thought.
It didn't take her long to reach the inside of her home and when she did that's when things started to go downhill.
Hiashi was teaching Hanabi when Hinata had come to greet them. Her father noticed her gloves but didn't think much of them, neither had their Byakugan on not that they would be able to notice anything with it. After a greeting Hiashi though it would be a good time to test her. "Let's see how your training has been going. Spar with Hanabi for a moment." He said.
She accepted his offer knowing she really didn't have a choice in the matter. Hinata then walked in front of her little sister and went into a basic Juken stance; neither activated their eyes. Hanabi, confident in her skills that had bested her sisters for the last year rush forward in an attempt to land a Juken strike to Hinata's stomach.
Seeing her sister coming closer to her, Hinata remembered something Anko said to her in the forest. "If you have a reason to win then fight with all you have. If you hold back even a little you'll die."
So when Hanabi's small arm came into reach Hinata blocked with her left forearm giving the young girl the shock of her life, literally. It was 2 seconds of high voltage electricity coursed through her body causing her to scream out in pain. After it was over she passed out and fell to the floor of the dojo. She would wake up in 5 hours with a bad headache.
Hiashi didn't know exactly what happened but he could figure out a few things. One, Hanabi had been electrocuted. Two, now that he looked at them he was sure it was the gloves that had done it. Three, now that he was looking at her with his Byakugan for the first time in months he noticed there was way too much chakra focused in one point her his chest while she had a normal amount still in her body. Four, he knew the best way to figure out the rest was to make her tell him.
"Hinata! What are those things you're wearing and most importantly why is there a large concentration of chakra in that small area in the center of your chest?" He half yelled.
"These are weapons Naruto-sensei gave me and the seal is…" she stopped when she though of something. Naruto never said she could not talk about the seal he gave them but he also never said she could. She knew if she was the seal's creator she wouldn't want everyone knowing about it. "something I cant talk about."
"Something you can't talk about? Who the hell do you think you're talking to? You are a Hyuuga and you go around with ridiculous weapons and letting people put….." Hiashi paused for a second when he realized something. "He put that seal on you, it had to be your sensei, he is the only one can do advanced seals in Konoha at the moment. Judging from where the chakra is located you had no cloths on your upper body when it was done did you?" he said. Her bright red face was all the answer he needed.
He was angry now, no one was supposed to see the Hyuuga heiress nude, not even partially, it would cause a huge scandal. That's why he had her wear the jacket all the time. She stopped two months ago but it had been hot lately and he though little of it. 'She probably doesn't wear it to show off to him now. If she were born a male we would not have this problem.'
Hiashi, now at the height of his anger attempted to smack the girl but stopped seeing as how her arm was now in the path of his hand. He did not want to end up like Hanabi.
Hinata backed up out of his reach when his hand stopped. Hiashi then said "Those things on your arms. They are a disgrace to the Hyuuga, remove them and never put them on again."
Hinata was horrified, she had worked so hard to be able to use them, it had not even been an hour since she completed the basic training for them and now he wanted to her to remove them forever. They were a gift from Naruto, she had no idea where he got them but she suspected they cost him a fortune and her father wanted her to waist his kindness and insult him but saying she was too good for them? "No" she said.
He did not expect that answer nor would he accept it. "Remove them at once or I will remove them for you."
Hinata remembered Anko's words once more then activated her Byakugan and then lowered into the best Juken stance she knew.
"You have went to far now, I hope you don't regret your actions later." He said before he did the same thing that she did.
Hinata knew if she let him make the first move she would lose quickly, not that she had high hopes of winning at all. She used her right middle finger to attach a chakra sting to the metal ball sitting at the bottom of her right wrist. Once it was done she flung it at her father with the speed of a kunai.
Hiashi was shocked at the action but dodged it easy but knew the attack wasn't that simple because when it passed his head it made a turn and quickly circled around him about 7 times. The string was still about 8 inches away from his body and still going around but he was not about to wait and see what it does when he touches him. He had an idea of what it would do anyway so he did the best thing he could to get out of it. KAITEN, he spun around making a sphere of high-speed chakra that destroyed the chakra sting and knocked away the ball.
She then threw the ball from her left hand at the first one, when they made contact they seem to stick together then she yanked them back and connected another string to the first. Now both balls were floating in the air about 3 feet in front of her, Hiashi had stopped the Kaiten right after she recovered her weapon.
She then channeled chakra to the balls and they both had a yellow glow and then a constant bolt of electricity connected them. With a gesture of her fingers they flew towards the man, one of each side with the bolt being that was to come into contact with him. Hiashi ran to the side to get around the attack, once he did dashed towards the girl. She then put her hands together and started to make seals. As she was calling out the name of the jutsu Raiton: Shougeki no Jutsu Hiashi used Shunsin no jutsu to quickly get behind her and deliver a chop to her neck, knocking her unconscious. He did get a nasty shock to his hand for his troubles.
When she woke she the cursed seal upon her head. She also wonder if they tried to remove the gloves from her arms, they are always active unless she deactivate them and she did not. Anyone who touches them will get a nasty shock.
END FLASH BACK
Naruto let out a sigh. "Hold on for a second." He said. He then walked away, took out a scroll then wrote something on it. After that he did a few hand seals and the scroll disappeared in a poof of smoke. He walked over to the girl and said. "Hinata, follow me. Were going to talk to your father."

Hyuuga Compound
Naruto and Hinata were waiting in a large room for Hiashi to show up. Naruto noticed that this time there were about 7 other Hyuuga in this room. Hinata was nervous, she knows what Naruto is planning to talk about but she is pretty sure her father won't listen. She also hopped whatever happened it didn't turn into a fight, as she believed they had no chance of winning.
"Uzumaki-san, what bring you here today." Said Hiashi when he entered the room. He also knew why he was there, the fight just happened yesterday after all.
"Remove that damn seal from my student now." Said Naruto, making every Hyuuga in the room look at him with wide eyes. Hinata though about what Neji would say about having the seal removed, then she remembered that he is away on a mission.
"That seal is no concern to you, now leave my house." Hiashi said, he then turned around about to leave but stopped when Naruto said. "I though you said the Hyuuga no longer care about her and you would leave her training to me?"
"I don't care what happens to her anymore, she is no longer my child and no longer the heir that's why she is now in the branch family. Or did you think I would allow you to do what you want with her body and have her do whatever you please when she is the clan head. Now that she is in the branch family you can keep her as your toy, now you have her and that snake whore to play with, you should be happy. Just remember to bring any Hyuuga children here so we can mark them as well." Said Hiashi.
Naruto's facial expressions did not change until he turned to Hinata, smiled and said. "Hmm, thank you. I think I will keep her." Before Hinata could react to what he said Naruto made some hand seals and said Kokuangyō no Jutsu (Bringer of Darkness).
For all the Hyuuga, including Hinata the world went black; none of them could see anything but darkness. Hinata then heard a few grunts and screams. She activated her Byakugan in hopes to see what was happening but it was no help. Before she deactivated her eyes the darkness fading away and what she saw made her stumble back and fall. Chakra stings, no they were far to thick to be call stings more like chakra ropes were holding all the Hyuuga in place wile a clone held a kunai to there neck. Hiashi, well he was lying his stomach with the real Naruto's foot holding down his head.
"Hyuuga, you need to learn respect. Speak to me like that again and Hanabi will be the youngest clan head in history while you rot in a dungeon. It may not be official right now but I was not selected become the Godaime in 3 years for nothing. You will also do good to remember that I am not as nice or forgiving as the old man."
Hiashi could not believe this kid, he came into his home and demanded he do something that concerned his clan. Now this brat was stepping on his face and had the nerve to be talking about respect. First his daughter attacks him, then she brings him and he does the same, he no longer cared about what happens. Hiashi attempted to make the hand seal that's used to activate the Caged Bird seal, it would have worked and probably killed Hinata if Naruto didn't see him and use a chakra sting with the wind element to cut off the four fingers of his hand.
"Hinata lets go, you no longer live here." Naruto said before he walked towards the exit with Hinata quickly getting up and following him. Once he reached the door he turns and said "You better get a medic to fix his fingers before it's too late." He then dispelled the chakra ropes and clones then they left.
After a few minutes of walking Hinata decided to ask something that's been on her mind since they left. "Ano, where are we going?"
He turned to look at her and said "To my house."
