Hinata woke up early, she was excited about her first solo high ranked mission. When she got dressed it was still dark outside but she had to leave to go and make sure that she made it to the castle on time. She walked out and tended to her garden humming gently as she did so. She and the family should be at least leaving when the sun rose. She had to check in with the Hokage before she left.

She knocked quietly. The Hokage's assistant who was wide awake greeted her happily and allowed her into the office. When she got into the office she found the lazy Hokage sleeping and drooling on her desk. The assistant yelled at her boss to get up and do her job when the woman was finally at full attention she smiled at Hinata who looked eager to do her job.

"Hello Hinata how are you?"

Hinata bowed respectfully to the woman and smiled and waited patiently for the consent to proceed on the mission, and any other extra information she might need.

"Hinata as you know, you are to protect the queen and her children and make sure that they arrive safely to the cloud village. Do you have any questions about the mission at all?"

"No"

"Alright you are dismissed"

Hinata arrived at the castle and showed her paper work to the guards to retrieve the queen and her two children. When she seen the queen Hinata didn't know what to say. The women had an indescribable aura about her. She emitted Kindness and the smile she had could sooth any villain. Hinata could not imagine anyone wishing harm to the woman. Her children resembled their mother. She had two boys who, if Hinata was not mistaken, they were twins. When the family got to Hinata she bowed immediately to show her respect. The woman looked around and smiled at Hinata and said,

"Hello dear, are you traveling alone?"

"Yes, ma'am, I am. Does that make you uncomfortable?"

The woman's smile got wider, "if Tsunade sent you alone then you must be extremely capable, I'm not worried in the least."

"Are you friends with the Hokage?"

"Oh yes! We go way back to our teenage years; it still surprises me to this day that she is Hokage of the leaf village!"

The woman leaned in and winked at Hinata

"Between you and me she's a great Ninja but not the most responsible person I know"

Hinata giggled slightly thinking of the Hokage that avoids her responsibilities as much as possible.

The queen looked at Hinata, with a fake air of seriousness and said,

"Now how am I to be well protected if I don't know the name of my protector?"

Hinata blushed so hard that she made the queens cheeks hurt. Then after apologizing profusely for about five minutes Hinata Finally managed to force out her mouth…

"It's a pleasure to be serving you! My name is Hyuuga Hinata!"

The woman laughed so hard the Hinata blushed even harder if possible

Then the queen, still giggling between words, said

" My name is Emi, the one with the long hair is Enro and the one with the short hair is Mizu"

The queen said pointing to her sons who were both 9 years old.

Enro walked up and said to Hinata

"Alright, Hina- chan I have decided that you will be my wife!"

Hinata blushed then looked to His mother for help though she didn't help much by saying

"That's my son! You picked a good one! She's gorgeous!"

Hinata could now see why the woman and the Hokage are friends they're just alike!

Mizu walked up to his brother and said quietly

"Enro you can't just tell her to be your wife you have to ask her…"

Hinata looked down and smiled at Mizu for the backup she didn't know how to handle Enro though he resembled Kiba in the way he acted. And now that she thought about it Mizu resembled Shino in the way he handled Enro. She smiled this was going to be easier than she originally thought as far as meeting the family. They all seemed really kind hearted she Just hoped the mission itself went as smoothly as the meeting had.

Hinata spoke up,

"To avoid the most amounts of casualties possible, I think we should get going, are you guys ready to go?"

Emi said with a smile "yep all packed and ready to head out."

When the sun came up they were about 3 mile from the Castle if a person with normal eyes squinted they could still see the top of it. The whole time Enro clung to Hinata talking about nothing important and Hinata being the Kind hearted person that she was listened intently while still keeping on guard.

Hinata and the family came to a spilt in the road two different path one, was into a forest and the other lead to a vast space of flat land. Hinata looked at her map to check and see if each path leads to where they needed to go. She took the forest path it's best to have somewhere to hide just in case they were attacked. But the problem with that is it also gave the enemy a place to hide as well.

After walking in the forest for about 30 minutes Hinata felt a presence of some men. As it got closer she could sense a high amount of killing intent. Hinata pulled out a Kunai knife, and activated her Byakugan. About 10 feet away she saw six men coming in their direction. Emi noticed Hinata's serious expression and quieted down the laughing Enro. Hinata explained the situation and urged the family to be calm and hide behind a large tree. She watched closely as the large men looked around as if searching for something when one got close enough Hinata grabbed him by the mouth with the Kunai to his throat and hissed quietly at him…

"Who are you and what is it that you men are looking for?"

The man bit Hinata's hand until he drew blood Hinata being used to the pain didn't let on that she was in pain at all. She simply made a small cut in the man's throat to let him know that if he bit her again he would indisputably loose his life.

The Family looked on as the girl went from polite and kind hearted to a full on warrior that did not even flinch at the killing intent of six men twice her size.

Hinata knew immediately that these men were not ninja's because a Ninja would never do anything as cowardly as bite someone. She marked them down mentally as regular bandits. After a little more threatening, Hinata finally got the man with the bruised Ego to talk. He let Hinata know her fears were correct and that the men had indeed been searching for the queen and her children. After Hinata rendered the man unconscious she did the same to the other five men. She looked at the family and let them know the situation she spoke quickly and quietly

"The situation has changed. They know our location and they know that mere bandits are not enough to capture you. That means the next attack will be by people much more higher level and they won't stop until they have obtained their goal. They don't know our exact strength, and if the leader is smart he will send more than enough men to take down at least 3 Shinobi. He will probably send Shinobi after us next so we have to move quickly"

Emi nodded her understanding she knew the situation had turned and she also knew she was in capable hands after seeing Hinata handle those men as if they were nothing. But she still wondered if Hinata would be enough to handle the situation alone, after all one can't be too careful when your children were involved. Hinata looked at her seriously. And asked

"Emi-san, are you capable of running on your own?"

Emi nodded yes and said

"I am but I can't say the same about them" she said pointing at her sons

Hinata said "that's fine"

After a few quick hand jesters Hinata had succeeded in doing Naruto's favorite move and an identical Hinata appeared. Real Hinata picked up Enro and the replication picked up Mizu. Hinata took into account that Emi was not a ninja so she slowed up her pace and stayed on the ground but she noted that the woman was keeping up with her quite nicely.

All of a sudden several kunai knives came raining down on her. For a second Hinata thought she was being attacked by TenTen. She managed to block them all so the family was not hurt but unfortunately she could not say the same for herself. Two Kunai knives had successfully pierced her arm. Enro not used to such attacks panicked

"Hina-chan you're bleeding! You're bleeding!"

Hinata pulling the Kunai knives out of her arm looked down at the boy and smiled and said

"It's nothing, don't panic, it doesn't even hurt"

Hinata knew she had to get the family to a safe place immediately. She didn't know anything about the enemy. The only thing she knew for sure was that they were Shinobi other than that she was at a lost. She didn't know their form of attack, how many of them there were, or whether or not they were sent to kill or kidnap the family.

She knew I was a bad idea to leave the family alone to go and fight. Emi needed to rest and Hinata also needed to treat her wounds. They weren't serious but they could prove to a problem in the future.

Hinata talked in a whisper,

"Stay close to me, we don't know what were up against and I really need you guys to stay quiet the last thing we want to do is to give away our position. The family nodded their understanding.

They moved stealthily through the forest until they found their way to an empty cottage. It might be easier to protect the family if there was only one way to attack from, so Hinata used the Byakugan to see if the cottage was safe enough to enter. She went in first just in case there was something there that the Byakugan did not see.

After entering the cottage the first thing Hinata did was barricade the windows. She didn't need any way for the enemy to enter but one so it would be easy to attack. The next thing she did was check the family. She had to be sure that they were mentally and physically okay. Then after checking the family she reached into her bag and pulled out some of her old ointment. She needed to treat the bite wound immediately. The bandits didn't look very sanitary. After that she treated the wounds form the kunai knives she cursed herself mentally for not using another weapon to block the attack whether than using her arm.

Hinata stayed on guard. She kept the Byakugan activated. It seemed that Enro had calmed down a bit because he was asking questions again.

"Hina- chan, how come your eyes are all veiny"

While staying on guard Hinata answered the questions

"It's called the Byakugan"

"What's a Byakugan?"

"It's a blood line limit"

"What does it do?"

"It allows me to see through things"

She tried to keep the explanations as simple as possible.

"Things like walls and clothes?"

"Yes"

"Can you see behind my back?"

"Yes"

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Two"

Apparently his mother and his brother had gotten enough of all the questions because they both told him to be quiet but Enro asked

"Hina-chan do I irritate you?"

Hinata smiled at him and rubbed his head and said

"Not at all."

Just then, Hinata seen 10 figures coming her way. She knew they were ninja by their high Chakra levels. Hinata mentally started to formulate her plan. How was she going to stop 10 men on her own? She thought

"Well I can't let them know it's only one guard"

She did some hand jesters and made 9 replications. It wouldn't be good to leave them looking like her so she changed their form to the first people she could think of.

(In this order)

Neji

Hanabi

Naruto

Her father

Kiba

Shino

Sakura

Shikamaru

Choji

Go and distract them while we move the replications nodded their agreement and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

She looked to the family and said with urgency

"Stay behind this".

She pulled out a cloak that was similar to that of what Naruto used to use to play tricks and hide from the adults with when he was younger. The family got behind the sheet and it immediately looked as if they had disappeared. She looked on using her Byakugan as her replications disappeared one at a time. The bodies were getting closer and closer and Hinata's adrenaline was rushing. She pulled out the Kunai knife as one of the men reached for the door knob. As He opened the door Hinata attacked him kunai knife at his neck the man did a move and turned into mist and appeared behind Hinata. Hinata of course had her Byakugan that could see at 360 degrees and immediately ducked the man's attack. Looking at the man's head band she knew immediately that the enemy was from the hidden village of the mist. This would prove to be a difficult fight.

Hinata used her new move.

"hisan-ya no Jutsu! (Flying arrow technique)"

Hinata yelled as five chakra made arrows shot from the palm of her hand. The man was hit in two different main chakra points and collapsed immediately. She saw 3 more men approaching saying something about how they didn't know where Makoto went. Hinata assumed the man she had just rendered unconscious was Makoto. She hid on the ceiling of the Cottage, deciding on an aerial attack. When the men entered Hinata screamed out

"hisan-ya no jutsu" and the chakra arrows Hit the top of one of the men's head. The other two attacked her immediately. Calling out kirigakure no Jutsu (hidden Mist Technique) immediately she was surrounded by Mist. She had her Byakugan so it didn't bother her much, when the mist lifted. The two men were on the ground she looked around and seen that the other men had changed direction. So she decided it was best that they leave the hide out.

One of the unconscious men lifted his head and hissed at Hinata "you won't survive alone, I've already signaled to my men and they went to get backup. They'll be stronger next time; you should just hand over the queen now."

Hinata walked over and kicked the man in the top of his head with the heel of her shoe. This time making sure that he was unconscious.

Hinata walked over to the family and said

"Let's go"

Emi looked at Hinata and was amazed. She would have never taken Hinata for a Shinobi. When she first met her, the girl screamed peaceful but after seeing her in action she quickly changed her judgment. She was quite capable.

"Emi-san, who are you at war with?"

"We're at war with a small country like ours the only problem with that is their allies with the Hidden mist village."

"Why are you fighting?"

"I'm not sure but I think the Akatsuki wants to take over our land like they did the enemy. Both countries may be small but our land is fertile and our mines are rich with precious metals and gems.

"I see, does Tsunade –sama know the Akatsuki is involved?

"I don't think she does"

"I have to send for back up."

"Really? I thought you were doing a good job alone"

Hinata smiled she was so happy that someone thought she was a good Shinobi. She almost didn't want to call for back up, just to prove herself further, but she was no idiot she can handle a few men but she couldn't handle the Akatsuki on her own.

Hinata bit her finger to do a summing technique

And a colorful, talking, and fuzzy bird appeared it said

"Hinata-Chan! Long time no see!"

"Hello Noi-san, how are you?"

"Good, good what do you need?"

Hinata pulled out a scroll and wrote on it

Dear Tsunade-sama,

The Akatsuki is involved in this mission and I am not sure if I am able to accomplish this alone. The main challengers are from the Hidden mist village. Please send backup immediately.

Hinata

Along with a letter she attached a copy of the map circling where they were located.

"Noi- san, can you please deliver this to the Hokage?"

"I'm on it!"

"Thank you Noi-san" Hinata called out to the bird as it flew away.

Neji looked up and saw Noi. He had known exactly who the bird was summoned by because he had been there when Hinata first did it.

Flash Back

"Hinata – sama what are you able to summon?" Neji had asked her on a day when he was to supervise her training. And teach her some of the Hyuuga Techniques.

"I-I'm n-not a-able t-to summon a-anything Neji-N-nii-s-san."

"Come Hinata-sama we will choose an animal for you"

Neji took Hinata down to the Hyuuga compound basement to an area where there were stacks of scrolls Neji walked up to one stacked labeled "summoning"

"Hinata- sama what kind of animal do you wish to be able to summon?"

"I-I don't k-know, w-what k-kind o-of a-animal are you a-able to s-summon?"

"I can summon Birds Hinata- sama,"

"W-well H-how a-about b-birds t-then?"

"What Kind of birds do you wish to summon Hinata –sama?"

"Y-you c-choose N-Neji Nii-san. I k-know y-you'll c-choose w-what's best for m-me"

She said that with such a bright smile that Neji couldn't help but smile back at her. Of course it was a crooked halfway smile, but it was Neji! That was enough.

He took a scroll marked "Song Bird" off the shelf, and motioned for Hinata to follow Him.

After Hinata bit her finger and wrote her name on the scroll. She tried many times to materialize a bird, but for the first 20 times all she got was eggs. She had almost given up when Neji said

"Hinata-sama allow me to show you how to do it"

Neji summoned a Falcon on the first try. Wanting so badly to be like her cousin Hinata tried it one last time then out popped a colorful bird that was extraordinarily big for a song bird and it said to her

"Hello I'm Noi and you are?"

Hinata was so happy she jumped up and hugged Neji, abundantly apologizing afterwards.

End Flash Back

Neji cut his training short and hopped from building top to building top to get to the Hokage's office as quickly as possible. When he opened the door Tsunade smiled at him and said

"Perfect timing Neji I was just about to send for you. I'm sending you on a rescue mission."

Neji eyes widened "rescue Mission?"

"Well it's more like you'll be back up, Hinata requested back up because her Mission has to do with the Akatsuki. So I'm sending you along with Naruto and Sakura as back up."

Just as she said that Naruto and Sakura walked in holding hands then let go when they realized they were being glared at by Neji and Tsunade.

"Anyway, you three should leave immediately. Hinata says your main enemy is Mist Shinobi."
