Hey thanks for the reviews so far. They are a great motivator.
As for the one question I got, this chapter should answer it.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Graduation was, in her eyes, boring. The grandness and excitement that the teachers raved on were not even there. It was a huge disappointment. Sure there were the parents and all but the splendor, the splendor that she had wanted was never there.
Hinata did not know where she was and her duffel bag was growing ever so heavy.
Where was her escort to the apartment that her father had promised anyways?
A loud crack, which could be only attributed to the splitting of wood, caught her attention.
Curious, the 12-year old approached the source of the sound. It was toward these bushes and trees.
Hinata did not have the Byukugan, but she did have exceptional normal eyesight. She poured chakra to her eyes for a better view.
There was a boy about her age, Hinata recognized him, training. Looks like taijutsu.
His name... what was it again?
Ah, it was Sasuke.
He was many things, things that Hinata didn't care for. She had many problems of her own to deal with.
Sasuke did not seem to notice her. He was sweating and had stopped in the middle of the clearing.
Hand signs flew.
Hinata recognized them all.
Horse.
Tiger.
Ram.
Monkey.
Boar.
Horse.
Tiger.
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Hinata panicked, not because she would probably get burned but because Sasuke's hand signs were so clear. She could even see the exact amount of chakra flowing from Sasuke's body needed for each sign. Was this supposed to be normal?
A jet of flame burst from the Uchiha's mouth, effectively burning anything that came within its path.
Hinata had to run or risk sporting burns.
Unfortunately, her rush shook the bushes around her, indicating her presence to Sasuke.
She burst into the clearing Sasuke was in, sporting slightly singed hair.
"You", Sasuke directed toward the girl. He was clearly irritated at being spied at."Go away"
"Y-you burnt m-my d-duffle bag"
"So? That's your fault"
That was it. Hinata couldn't take it anymore. All of the pent up stress and negative emotions poured forth.
Trembling in anger, Hinata did what first popped into her mind.
Hand signs flew.
Horse.
Tiger.
Ram.
Monkey.
Boar.
Horse.
Tiger.
Sasuke's eyes widened considerably. Was she...
"Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"
An inferno of fire blasted out from Hinata. After the stream died down, Hinata coughed as some smoke spurted out of her mouth.
What had just happened?
Seconds later, Sasuke stood behind her and held a kunai to her throat.
Substitution jutsu...
"Where did you learn that?"Sauske's harsh voice rang behind Hinata.
Hinata was now scared out of her wits.
"J-j-just n-now"
That was nearly impossible. Sasuke would have dismissed that as a lie but the quite Hyuuga was never known to lie.
The Sharingan could make it possible, but it was his clan's Kekkei Genkai.
Curiosity ravaged through the Uchiha and he spun the Hyuuga around, gripping her by the shoulders and taking a good look at her eyes.
Light purple, almost white, orbs with ripple lines stared back at him.
Had it not been for Iruka's extensive teachings on the three great Dojutsu, Sasuke would not have known what it was.
Sasuke's face turned into one of absolute shock and his mouth moved without him knowing in a whisper.
"Rinnegan..."
Out of all the three Dojutsu, the Rinnegan was the most powerful and legendary. Sasuke began scouring his brain for more information about it. The Rinnegan was known to only appear when the world was in turmoil.
More specifically, "When the world is in disorder, a person is sent down from the heavens to become either a "God of Creation" who will calm the world, or a "Destroyer" who will reduce everything to nothingness."
According to what Iruka had said that legend proved to be true.
Rage immediately surged through Sasuke. How was it that he, who needed power to avenge his clan, was disregarded as the Gods blessed the useless Hyuuga with power?
In his raged filled conscious, Sasuke pulled back his hand in a fist.
Which was caught by Hinata's caretaker, Ko.
"If you continue, I will be forced to do whatever is nessesary to protect Hinata-sama"
Sasuke turned back to see who it was and violently wrestled his wrist away. Scowling he stomped a small distance away from the two Hyuugas.
"I've found you Hinata-sama. Are you hurt?"
"N-no"
"Get your bag, Hinata-sama. We need to arrive at your new apartment by sundown and fill out the remaining paperwork"
If Sasuke had heard right, that pathetic girl isn't going to live at her clan compound anymore. Good riddance for her clan.
Sasuke froze momentarily, his rage forgotten. This didn't make sense. Why would the Hyuuga clan banish one of its own members who holds one of the most legendary Dojutsu?
Unless...
Sasuke's mouth curved into a smirk.
...they didn't know.
The two Hyuuga's left the clearing.
Sasuke went home that day with a smirk on his face.
Hinata was deeply troubled by what Sasuke had whispered. Was it true that she held the legendary Rinnegan?
Sasuke's reaction seemed to indicate so. Hinata strained to remember Iruka's teaching on the Rinnegan.
Nope.
Iruka only had history on the Rinnegan.
Hinata stopped in her tracks. It was true, she had the Rinnegan. Back then when she saw Sasuke perform his jutsu, she must have unknowingly activated it and copied his jutsu.
So why didn't it appear in her childhood?
Right, she was extensively trained on her taijutsu as a child. To get the Byakugan to work, Hinata had to channel chakra to a hand seal for activation. Never was she told to channel chakra directly into her eyes.
"Hinata-sama" Ko called to her "Are you ok?"
"H-Hai. I a-am f-fine"
Moving her legs again, Hinata looked down at her hands. Could she still do it?
Curious, Hinata moved through the handsigns without chakra and found that she still remembered it.
Horse.
Tiger.
Ram.
Monkey.
Boar.
Horse.
Tiger.
A swell of inspiration bubbled in Hinata. She would become strong. This gift will not go to waste!
The apartment complex came into view and the Hyuugas stepped inside.
Ko talked to the landlord, signed some papers, and discussed something that Hinata did not care for.
Soon enough Ko dropped a key into Hinata's open palms.
"Everything is settled, you may move-in"
"I will leave now, Hinata-sama. Take care"
Hinata nodded and Ko dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
Looking at the key, the room was on the second floor. The door opened with a click from the key and Hinata stepped in.
The room was already furnished and clean.
Father must have sent some people here beforehand.
Hinata dropped her duffel bag and headed to the bathroom.
She stared at the bathroom mirror.
So how was she going to invoke the Rinnegan in the first place?
Minutes pass.
Hinata thought back to her encounter with Sasuke.
When she watched him, it was from a distance. What did she do again?
Hinata washed chakra over her eyes and saw her eyes turn light purple then ripple.
Hinata leaned closer to the bathroom mirror for a better look.
So that was the Rinnegan?
Satisfied, Hinata grinned and went to bed content.
Good? Bad? Disgusting? What are your thoughts?
Sorry it's a little shorter but I needed to cut it here.
Expect the next chapter in a week at most.
