Chapter two: One Small Change

(Following day at Hyuuga compound)

"Hinata" said Hiashi "Today you will fight Neji from the branch house. Are you ready?"

"Yes father, I am" replied Hinata, for the first time without shuttering.

"Fate has decided that you will lose, Hinata-sama" said Neji with a small but evil smile on his face.

"My daughter has no chances against him. He is a genius and she..." thought Hiashi "Fight!"

Hinata started. She hit him for her first time, and in her first move. Neji was that stunned by what she did, and she had time to hit him more times. After that Neji started dodging and attacking her. The surprising fact was that he couldn't dodge all Hinata's attacks, and she was able to dodge some of his attacks. After five minutes of that kind of spar, both Neji and Hinata fell down on the floor unable to move.

It was the first time Hiashi was proud of his daughter. He didn't really expect from her beating Neji. Even if she was able to do that being beaten the same way, he was proud.

"Neji, Hinata" said Hiashi "I'm proud of you two. Neji, your father's going to take you. I'll take my daughter."

(All the while)

Naruto was trying out Rasengan. He was able to do it, and hit his clone. "Hey, Kyuubi?" asked Naruto. "Yes?" Kyuubi replied. "Help me. I want your chakra to improve my wind manipulation. I'd like making about hundred clones." "You want it that bad, huh? Ok. I don't like my container being weak. Ok so..."

"Tajuu, Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Yelled Naruto, as an army of himself ran into the woods. "So now... Cut!" After ten seconds one of the clones said "Done!" After him, many shouted the same word. Then, each clone tried cutting another leaf. Training of that kind lasted only 5 minutes, but now Naruto was able to cut a leaf in less than a second.

Then Narutos tried cutting trees. After 15 minutes Naruto was able cutting a tree in less than a second (A/N: Naruto was able to do so because of Kyuubi's chakra). Now Narutos started cutting small rocks. After another 5 minutes Naruto mastered it. Suddenly, Naruto felt someone was looking at him. He recognized Hinata's chakra, and said "Hinata, please come out of these bushes. If you want to see me, you don't have to hide." "I'm sorry, Naruto-kun" said Hinata shyly, but without shuttering. "Forgot already" replied Naruto. "I wanted to thank you for the yesterday's training. I'm so grateful. I even managed to beat Neji! Oh sorry, I forgot you don't know hi-" "I know. And I'm grateful too. Maybe he'll stop talking about fate."

"Do you want some training, Hinata?" asked Naruto. When Hinata agreed, he showed her Kage Bunshin no jutsu, and told her about its usage. Then, using Naruto's chakra, both Naruto and Hinata created 10 Kage Bunshins. While the clones were fighting, Naruto and Hinata were making some chakra control exercises. After Hinata mastered chakra manipulation, Naruto helped her with her affinity training. She had water affinity. Naruto now thought about what water jutsus he knew. He was able to tell her about water prison jutsu and dragon missile jutsu. He now gave Hinata just a little of his knowledge on water affinity.

"Wow! I can manipulate water! It's amazing! Thank you" said Hinata with a shocked expression. Then Naruto went away.

While walking Naruto saw the bullies that bullied Hinata yesterday. He henged (transformed using henge no jutsu, the transformation technique) into Hinata, to see what'll happen. "Hey, she is the girl!" shouted one of the bullies. "Now, the stupid boy isn't with you. What'll you do, crybaby?"

Naruto created two clones, and all of them made… "Konoha Wirlwind!"

The bullies flew away as Naruto dropped henge and said "Better go to the hospital. You have several injuries. Nothing life treating. My pleasure" joked Naruto and went down the street. He saw the looks that the villagers gave him. But now he just walked and ignored them. It was a good day.
