As Shinata woke up next morning she could barely move from Lee's totally insane workout. She swore to herself that she would never go around him ever again. As she came down stairs she saw everyone eating and Somari was there too.
"Hey little runt, I heard you had an intense workout with Lee sensei? He's crazy isn't he" said Oshida looking at his adopted little sister?
Shinata blushed even though Oshida was an adopted brother she thought that he was the cutest boy ever and tried to act normal whenever he was around. As they all sat down to eat, they were served by the servants of the Uzumaki mansion. As Naruto and Shikamaru came into the dining room they looked at their daughter's.
"I hope you all learned your ittle lesson" said Naruto?
"Yes" as they said it in unison.
"Shinata, Somari do you two know what your name means" said Naruto?
"Yes, faith and harmony and wave child that's what Shinata Orihme Uzumaki mean" as Shinata looked at her father.
"Somari Toshiko Nara means beautiful sky and genius child" said Somari.
"Since you know what your names means, I suggest you try to act like their meanings" as Naruto and Shikamaru headed out the door.
As Shinata and Somari joined the rest of the Uzumaki family for breakfast, Somari sat next to Kyoshi and smiled. It seemed the whole Uzumaki family knew of her crush except Kyoshi, Hinata thought that was so cute because it reminded her of Naruto and herself.
"So Shinata you have another month to pass the Academy and become genin and you will be an official Uzumaki genin" said her older brother Tasamine.
"Yeah, but don't be like your older sister Kimmi and beat up the boys" as Kanna started laughing.
"Shinata were Uzumaki ninjas we can't be outdone by our own brothers that's why I am the top Uzumaki sibling. Three jonins and some ANBU stopped by to talk to Kyoshi yesterday as a future recruit. You have to beat him out, there are too many boys in the house and we have to keep the power" as Kimmi smiled at her baby sister.
As Shinata smiled at her family and their encouragement she and Somari headed to the Academy. Kyoshi ran out the house to quickly walk with the two. As Somari blushed at Kyoshi she was so glad that he was walking them to school.
"Shinata I need you to learn as much as you can here at the academy, I know you have been messing up in school because of your lack of chakra control so when you get home we will work on it together" said Kyoshi.
"Thanks Kyoshi, I really appreciated it, you always seem to go out of your way for me I'm so glad you're my older brother" as she smiled at him.
"Its okay, Somari I heard you might make rookie of the year once you graduate; it always seems to come down to the Uzumaki's clan and the Nara clan" as they approached the Academy, he smiled at Somari.
Somari was so taken by his word she could not speak; all she could do was nod her head up and down. As they made it to the Academy a bunch of young female rush to talk to Kyoshi, Shinata hated those fan girl, all they seem to do was make goo-goo eyes and confess their love for Kyoshi. Kyoshi never paid any of the fan girl's attention, he always felt they only cared because he was of the Uzumaki clan and his father was the Hokage. If there's one thing Somari hated it was the girls that would try to get Kyoshi's attention. Kyoshi quietly smiled and started to walk away from the Academy.
As the instructor told the entire student class to line up to perform a basic henge, everyone did it extreme ease. As Shinata came up to perform the task, she molded her chakra and performed the jutsu. As the jutsu completed, her henge was terrible everyone was laughing at the poor effect of her jutsu. Her instructor just shook his head and told Shinata that he will be visiting her parents at the end of the day about her poor jutsu skills. Shinata could not figure it out; just six weeks ago she had great chakra control, now she could barely do any basic jutsu forms. Somari quickly comforted her friend by telling her everything will be all right. Shinata had never been more embarrassed in her entire life; she wished that she could go somewhere and just hide.
"Is she really one of the Uzumaki's? I heard that basically they were geniuses in the gentle fist and powerful jutsu. She's really making her clan looked bad, I think she's the only failure in that family" said one of her classmates.
"Isn't her mother the clan leader of the Hyuuga's" said another classmate?
Shinata tried not to pay attention to the chattering students about her.
"All right class we will be working on hand-to-hand combat, no ninjutsu or bloodlines allowed. We will be outside to spar against a classmate. So get your belongings and head outside" said the ninja instructor.
As they walked outside all eyes were on Shinata, she was supposed to be like her brothers and sister but no one seen her for herself except Somari. As the instructors called out the names for the ones to spar, Shinata waited in excitement to put her skills to some use in hand-to-hand combat. As all the Academy students took turns fighting, many were able to defeat their opponent with no effort. As they called Yutaka Kobayashi and Shinata Uzumaki to fight, they believed that Yutaka would wipe the floor with her.
"Ready to be defeated little Princess? Let's see if you have your parent's abilities to beat me" said Kobayashi?
"You should stick to beating up three-year-old little brats, because you do not have what it takes to handle me" as Shinata put her hands behind her head.
As the instructor told them to take their places, he gave the signal to fight. Kobayashi rushed Shinata very aggressively to show her that her clan was overrated, he performed a series of kicks and punches but none could connect. Shinata carefully scanned every move he made to try and counter his strength and speed, as she saw an opening she quickly kicked the back of his knee causing him to fall on one leg and quickly kicking him in his face. Kobayashi quickly rolled from receiving another blow and stood up to see if he was bleeding from his mouth. The instructor Hagino Sugiyama who never really liked Naruto poured all of his hatred over to Shinata, he decided to have Kobayashi get a little bit more physical with the Hokage's daughter. Kobayashi anger had risen from being struck by the untalented Uzumaki; he had charged his opponent to show her that she could not beat him. Shinata dodged one of his blows that was coming toward her head, Shinata uppercut him with a fist to his face sending him back to the ground. The instructor quickly pulled Kobayashi off the ground and told him to fight, Shinata looked surprise at why the instructor would do such a thing? Kobayashi looked at her with blood coming from his nose; he noticed that instructor Sugiyama seemed angry at his poor skills to defeat Shinata. Kobayashi look at Shinata and attack not using his skills anymore but primal rage toward his opponent. Shinata had countered every blow and used many throw moves to keep him off-balance; Kobayashi was finally able to hit Shinata with a good blow. Shinata recovered but notice the instructor was letting it get out of hand; Shinata saw that now it was going to be a bloodbath between them. Kobayashi back up and tackled Shinata trying to pin her to the ground, Somari yelled to the instructor to stop the fight. As the instructor just stared at Somari, he let both combatants continue their fight. Shinata quickly was able to get Kobayashi off her and backed up but Kobayashi tried another tackle and knocked the wind out of her. All of the students looked in horror of the two of them fighting, Shinata stayed calm and continued to systematically hit him to make him stop. The more they fought Shinata felt a strange sensation coming over her; it looked as though Kobayashi was moving in slow motion. Her body started to surge with unbelievable power, it felt like her body was fusing with electricity in enhancing her speed and strength.
"You're nothing I heard your father was nothing but a cheater, that is the only way he became Hokage. My father said that your mother was nothing but a second rate Hyuuga who was only allowed to become leader is because of the former Hokage. Your clan is nothing but cheaters and second raters not like the noble clans of the Konoha" said Kobayashi.
The instructor smiled on hearing Kobayashi taking a cheap shot at Shinata's family, Shinata's rage grew and in a blink of an eye she struck Kobayashi in the middle of this chest. Kobayashi was struck so hard that he tumbled four or five times and about 8 feet away from where he was hit, as he lay stretched out on the field he didn't move at all. The student yelled on seeing such a nice fight that took place, Shinata looked in horror on what she had done. She could not understand it where did that unknown power come from? All she knew it looked as though she was fighting outside of her body and moving faster than she ever had. The instructor quickly grabbed Shinata by her arm and pulled her inside the Academy, Somari called the instructor to stop because she was hurting Shinata. Shinata was too stunned to resist, she looked at the medical team trying to help Yutaka Kobayashi on the field.
"You little demon, what have you done? You tried to kill him because you think you are the Hokage's daughter. Just because he has that position doesn't mean you are exempt from being punished" said Sugiyama!
" I didn't mean to hurt him something happened where I got this weird strength from, it appeared out of nowhere and that is how Kobayashi got hurt it was an accident" pleaded Shinata!
"Sure you got a weird power from somewhere? I don't believe that! You wanted to hurt him and you succeeded I'm going to call your mother to the Academy right now to settle this" yelled Sugiyama as he increased his grip and strength on Shinata's arm making her scream in pain.
As Somari waited to tell Shinata's mother what happened, Sugiyama forced her to go home as he waited for Hinata to arrive. As Hinata made it to the front door of the Academy, she was shown the way where her daughter was being kept. As Hinata looked at her youngest child, she seemed that she was highly upset and had been crying.
" Good evening Uzumaki-sama I'm sorry to trouble you about this but it was most urgent, Shinata has been quite a handful of late. Her ninjutsu skills have plummeted to the last of the class, even though her taijutsu is very good is not enough for her to graduate. She must pass both taijutsu and ninjutsu but between the pranks and her loud behavior in class I'm sorry to say she will probably repeat this class. I called you down here because she injured a student by fracturing his ribs, he will be fine but he will need bed rest for a while" said Sugiyama.
"How did a sparring match get out of hand? Who was watching them and how did she injured him so badly" said Hinata?
"I'm sorry to say I was watching them, before I could stop Shinata from becoming more violent toward the young man she struck him in the center of his chest. At first I didn't think it was that serious but the young man Kobayashi was knock down on the ground unable to move, we quickly call the medical team to come to his aid. This is a very serious offense Uzumaki-sama, we talked to the parents and they were highly upset but we told them we would handle this" said Sugiyama.
"Shinata what happened? That's not like you to hurt anyone, is there something wrong are you upset about anything? Tell me what happened in your own words" said Hinata.
Sugiyama looked nervous when Hinata asked her daughter about what happened.
"We were sparring and he became very aggressive he tried to tackle me but I was able to stop him, he became angry and said that my father was a cheater who became Hokage and you were a second rater in the house of the Hyuuga clan. I thought the instructor was going to stop the match but he let it continue, I had got this surge of power from somewhere and the next thing I knew Kobayashi was laying on the ground" said Shinata.
"That is called adrenaline; you were so excited about the match that's what you felt. When people are afraid or excited that's what happens that adrenaline kicks in and increases your speed and strength" said Sugiyama.
Hinata looked at her daughter and decided they would have a talk when she gets home. She apologized to Sugiyama thanked him for his patience with her daughter. Sugiyama was so relieved that Hinata took his word instead of her daughter. As the two got up and left, Shinata knew for a fact it was not adrenaline but something with her chakra and she was going to figure it out.
As they made it to the mansion Hinata was very angry at her daughter, she had been pulling pranks, her grades have dropped and now she was in a serious fight and injured a young boy.
"Shinata I don't know what the problem is but it must end tonight, you have the ability to be better than what you're doing but you refuse to" said her mother!
"Mom I'm telling you I felt this power, it was like something I never felt before. Maybe that's why I can't do any jutsu correctly" said Shinata.
"I hate to tell you this but your instructor is right, it's just adrenaline flowing through your veins. I had the same thing that happened to me numerous amounts of times; it's your body and mind reacting to it nothing more. From now on you will practice your chakra control by yourself when you get home until you can control it better, I don't want you using anyone as an excuse for you not doing well" said Hinata raising her voice!
"Mom I'm telling you there's more to it than this, you have to believe me about this power I…." Shinata was cut off by her mother's yelling.
"Damn it Shinata, I don't want to hear anything else about this power! You are an Uzumaki and you're going to act like one instead of some weak and useless ninja of this family" as Hinata screamed at the top of her lungs!
Shinata eyes begin to water; never in her entire life had her mother ever said anything cruel to her. She began to cry very hard and ran out the door. Hinata never met to say those words; she didn't know where they came from and why she said it.
"Shinata, stop I didn't mean that, I'm so sorry come back please. I know I hurt your feelings but it was an accident I was just mad" as Hinata pleaded for her daughter to return home!
As Hinata quickly chased after her daughter, she was stop by the elders of the village and her clan members. Hinata had forgotten she had to go over the defense of the village with the two, she knew if she did not stay they would use that as an excuse to go against her husband plans in the future. As she watched her daughter continued to run away from the mansion, every step she took her heart was breaking even more.
As Hinata finished going over the budget and project plans of the village, she rushed the elders out and quickly ran to find her daughter. As she searched for her she used her bloodline ability to find her. As she came closer she saw that her daughter had been practicing the whole time effortlessly.
"I have to get stronger; I don't want to be the fool in the family. I don't want to be the one to let everybody down, I don't won't mom to hate me anymore. Why can't I be like my brothers and sister? Don't I have the same blood as they do? Why do I have to be the one to suffer" as she began to cry as she started to get back into her ninjutsu stance?
Hinata quietly walked over to her daughter and embraced her in a hug from the back. She grabbed Shinata's arms and slowly went over the steps to her ninjutsu stances; Shinata looked up and saw her mother crying. As Shinata let her mother show her the moves by moving her arms, she felt a peace and security.
"Mom I'm sorry I will do my best all the time, I will pass the Academy and become a genin I promise. I'll be a top-notch ninja, you will never have to worry about me making our clan weak I swear I will do everything I suppose to do just give me a chance" said Shinata.
"Shinata forgive me, for what I said and not taking the time to tell you I'm always proud of you. You have your own way of being a ninja and whatever is going on with your chakra we will find it together this I promise you. I have endless faith in you, not because you're my daughter or your father's because you are Shinata Uzumaki your own person no one else's" as Hinata continue to move Shinata's arms to show her ninjutsu moves.
As the two walked home Hinata had never felt so bad in her entire life, as they made it inside the mansion, Shinata hugged her mother and went to bed.
As Hinata waited for her husband to come home, she knew that she had to tell him about everything that happened. As Naruto walked in the door, he quickly grabbed Hinata and kissed her on her lips. He could tell something was wrong and decided to ask.
"Is there something the matter Hinata-chan" said Naruto?
"Yes there is, I was at the Academy today because Shinata injured a young boy. I had a talk with her but I said some terrible things to her" as she quickly grabbed Naruto and held him and began to cry uncontrollably into his chest.
"What did you say" said Naruto?
"I was just as cruel as my father was to me when I was that age". I told her that she was weak for the clan and useless, how could I do that to my own child? When we had children we promise each other no matter what, we will love them unconditionally if they wanted to follow in our footsteps or not. When I seen my daughter cry I seen me cry at that age, that will never ever happen again as long as I live. I want to hire a special tutor to help her with her chakra control, that's the least I could do to help my child" as she held on tighter to her husband.
"Let Kyoshi work with her for a while, he's really advanced for his age and he really loves his baby sister and he will show her everything. And I will work with her in the mornings before she go to class and you can work with her in the evenings for little while until she has her chakra under control" said Naruto.
Hinata always felt at peace when her husband was at home, he loved his family very much and did whatever it took to make them happy. That's the one thing Hinata always cherished about her beloved husband.
