A NaruHina fanfic

Chapter 12: Punishment!

:::

Sorry I've given no indications earlier to the length of this story, but its actually almost over sorry. For the last few chapters, well, this one mainly, it takes a slightly different tack which should be interesting I hope.

:::

"N-Naruto-kun?"

Hinata's soft voice brought the Hokage out of his light slumber. He opened his eyes to see hers so close to his he could feel their lashes brushing.

"Hinata" he said, and then smiled when he saw her smile and the sparkle in her eyes, the telltale signs of a very healthy Hinata. She blushed a little.

"Thank you Naruto-kun" she said and leaned in, leaving a small, soft kiss on his lips.

He grinned and squeezed her tight, finding his arms were still around her, though with pins and needles in the bottom one. She "eeped" when she squashed up against him, and he blushed slightly when he felt her soft breasts squeeze up against his chest at what he had done, the thin cotton of her ward uniform all that was holding them back. He chuckled and kissed her again, this time more passionately. Hinata grinned into the kiss and pushed back into his lips with just as much passion.

But, they had to break before they went further when they both realized they were in a room in a mental ward with a camera blinking away in the corner of the room. Hinata turned bright red and quickly stood up, finding her disheveled clothes and teary image in the mirror distasteful.

"Naruto please, take me out of here" she said, and he gladly obliged, taking her hand and leading her out of the room. When a doctor tried to stop them in the hallway he used his authority as Hokage to forcibly declare her sane and went to pick up her clothes.

He waited outside the small changing room as Hinata squeezed into the tight black skirt she found she was now used to and took off the white shift, replacing it with her lavender bra, fishnet tee, and black vest. Finally, she took up her hitai ate and with shaking fingers retied it around her neck. She felt something surge through her, and now felt like somehow, she finally belonged back in her old village.

She came out of the changing room beaming like an idiot and took Naruto's hand, the happy couple almost skipping out of the mental ward. Naruto had to admit to himself that that was pretty much the happiest ending he could have possibly thought up for the situation he and Hinata had found themselves in.

:::

"S-So, what was the punishment Tsunade put on us for destroying Kumo?" Hinata asked hesitantly when they were back in Naruto's apartment, the subject still tender with her.

"Well" he started "You know how all our old teammates have taken up genin teams right?"

She shook her head no. "Actually, I haven't even seen them yet apart from when I first woke up" she admitted. "It's been a bit like when you came back after your three year trip and only greeted Sakura, Kakashi, and Neji's team before running off to the Sand village without even saying hi to my team or Shikamaru's."

Naruto grinned sheepishly at the dig. "Well, they've taken up genin teams, but because I had… problems… with your presumed death, and my becoming Hokage, I didn't take one. And Sasuke being a missing Nin obviously didn't take one either… So, Tsunade's decided we all have to take on a genin team to teach Team Kage a little responsibility." He used silly bunny ear quote marks for the last word responsibility.

Hinata giggled. "That's not that bad Naruto-kun" she said.

"Are you kidding!" he shouted and jumped up on his couch. "I'm a Hokage!" he proclaimed "I can't be teaching genin! They'd all be too struck dumb by my awesomeness to learn anything!"

Hinata giggled and snagged his hand, pulling him back down into the couch and a deep kiss. "You're getting cocky" she said smugly when she broke.

He growled playfully and fisted her hair, meeting her lips again. "And you're just beautiful" he retorted lamely. He then remembered something. Smirking, he leant against her so she was forced to lie down on the couch, with him atop her. "I think I still owe you something" he said mischievously.

Hinata gasped when his hand found its way to a very private area between her legs. "N-Naruto-kun!" she sort of whisper shrieked.

He hesitated at her exclamation and looked her in the eyes. "Can I?" he asked.

Hinata was blushing profusely, his hand still between her legs, up inside her skirt, but no longer touching anything sensitive. "Umm, y-yea, ok" she said, embarrassed to be agreeing to such a thing. "Wh-what did you have in mind?"

Naruto smirked. "Oh, you just lay there. Don't worry, I'll do all the work." He then continued to pull her panties aside and pleasure his girlfriend by massaging her rapidly wetting clit. Her breathing hitched and started to increase in frequency as he teased her pussy. Finally, he slipped one finger in her hole. It slid in with no effort whatsoever as she was now thoroughly lubed up from her own juices.

He grinned when he felt her warm wet inside. Gently, he pushed his finger in and out of her tight pussy until he found that spot that made her squeal in ecstasy. He rubbed it and slipped another finger inside her wet opening, feeling her tightness around the double digits. He thrust in and out by bending one finger while the other continued to rub gently at her g-spot.

Hinata was seeing stars. She squirmed around on the couch with his fingers still inside her. Finding it suddenly too hot, she unzipped her vest and threw it onto the floor, sighing as her previously squashed breasts gained a little more room, her tight bra and fishnet tee now the only things restricting them. But she needed more.

Sitting up, she bit her lip against the quivers of ecstasy coming from between her legs, and took off her shirt and bra. Finally feeling free, she began to massage her large breasts even as Naruto's head lowered between her legs.

He pushed her skirt up around her waist with his free hand while his other continued its work. She screamed in joy when she felt his warm wet, oh so soft tongue slide between his fingers and her upper wall when he started licking her out. His tongue replaced his finger at her g-spot so that now he was massaging it with his soft tongue while he added another finger and thrust up and down her vagina.

This was all too much for Hinata, she lost it and succumbed to a screaming fit as she orgasmed into his waiting mouth. He smirked at her when his head rose from behind her skirt, and she smiled faintly when she saw him licking his fingers clean of her juices. She felt lightheaded after that mind-blowing sensation, but that didn't stop the idea that had been nagging her from commencing.

Sitting up beside him, she gave him a sexy smile. She took his hands and put them on her naked breasts, and while they were occupied, she slid her own into his pants. He groaned as she held his hot hard dick and slowly wanked it up and down with both hands, still inside his pants. She then let go and pulled his pants and boxers off in one fluid motion, his huge member bursting forth.

Pulling away, she stood up and slowly slipped her scrunched up skirt off so she was now naked, standing legs spread before him, her pussy slowly dripping juices to the carpet below. Reaching down to it, she rubbed her fingers over it, wetting them with her juices. She blushed as she felt Naruto's eyes on her the whole time, with him slowly wanking his own dick subconsciously as he watched the mini show.

Just to be sexy, she slowly licked the juices off one of hers fingers while eyeing up his dick. Then she knelt down before him and wrapped her now lubed up fingers around his dick. Rubbing him all over, she thoroughly coated his member in her juices. She then looked up at him expectantly.

"I had this idea, and I really wanted to try it out for you, since I'm big enough to do it" she said, then before he could react, took her ample breasts in her own hands and guided them down over his dick until it was sitting snugly in the crevice between them. She moved back slightly so the erect penis was squeezed between where her breasts rubbed together, then grasped the sides of her breast in each hand and began rubbing them up and down in unison.

Naruto groaned in pleasure as he felt his dick sliding between the pillowy softness of her breasts. Because they were so large, every inch of his member was being tended to at all times. He groaned even louder when she bent her head and licked the top of his dick. A minute more of that and he couldn't help it, he spurted all over her neck and face with an extra loud groaning shout.

When he had finally calmed down and she had removed her breasts and sat down beside him, hugging him lovingly, he groaned yet again.

"Now where uneven again!" he said in exasperation, then flinched and turned to her. "N-not that I didn't appreciate that or anything, that was freaking awesome!"

Hinata smiled. "That was just a reason for me to pleasure you more Naruto-kun, it's not a rule or anything, we don't have to be even."

Naruto smirked. "Yea, I know, I just wanted to have more sex with you."

Hinata grinned. "Well, it worked huh?" she purred mischievously and kissed him, boldly grabbing his again hardening member.

She sat on his lap, still kissing, so that his dick pointed up between her ass cheeks. Naruto grinned into the kiss. He lifted her up with effortless ninja strength. She looked down and gently grasped his now again rock solid dick and placed it at her entrance. She continued to hold it in place as he slowly lowered her down onto it.

She whimpered slightly and bit her lip as his thickness slid into her tight pussy, in one fluid motion going deeper and deeper. Finally, she let out a long, low moan as he reached maximum depth inside her. Then, it was her job to keep it going. Lifting herself up, she started bouncing up and down on his penis.

They both let out loud moans, groans and screams as they fucked sitting up on his couch until they finally came together again this time. Hinata rolled off him and blushed to see the huge cum stains on the couch.

"S-sorry" she murmured.

He grinned and hugged her, lying her down so they were side by side wrapped naked together on the couch. Naruto couldn't remember, but sometime in the process he had lost his upper clothes as well. Hinata was magic like that. They talked about trivial matters for the rest of the afternoon and into the night before they finally fell asleep on his couch, not bothering with the alarm that was supposed to go for tomorrow to meet up with Tsunade again to sort out their genin teams.

:::

Hinata woke that morning in a panic. Her rapidly degrading vision had completely vanished. All she saw now was black. She was really, truly blind.

"N-Naruto-kun?" she said hesitantly, feeling her eyes blink but not seeing any difference. "Huh?" he mumbled. She felt around with her hands and found they were still on the couch. "I,-is it still night?" she asked fearfully.

"Huh, what are you on about Hinata, its bright dayli…" he trailed off when he realized what she was getting at, taking in her downcast posture, her eyes moistening as she stared at her lap she couldn't see. "O" she said quietly, then looked up towards where she knew he was. "N-Naruto-kun, I-It's finally happened, I-I'm blind now."

He sat up instantly, all hints of weariness shattering off him. "What?" he exclaimed, grasping her bare shoulders in shock.

"I knew it was coming, my vision has been rapidly degrading ever since that fight in Cloud, and now it's finally gone, I really am blind!" She forcibly calmed herself after that little panic attack. "But don't worry about me; I have other ways to see."

She gave him a closed eyed smile that she didn't really feel, and then hesitantly pulled up her chakra and cloaked his apartment in it, feeling where everything was.

"I-I just wish I could see your face again" she whispered.

He smiled ruefully, and then mentally kicked himself when he realized she couldn't see. He couldn't help a tear coming out for her. "I-I'm sure one day you'll see again" he choked out. "No." His voice grew more solid. "No, that's a promise! You will see again Hinata! You have my word, and you know my nindo!"

He was rewarded by a beautiful smile gracing Hinata's angelic face, and her sweet voice saying in full confidence "I believe in you Naruto-kun. Arigatou."

:::

"Sorry we're late" Naruto said as the very messy looking couple walked into the office.

They had, of course, woken up late, so only had enough time to throw their clothes on, coat themselves in Naruto's deodorant to erase the telltale smell of sex, and rush over to Tsunade's office.

Sasuke merely "Hn"ed when they came in, secretly smirking to himself, having a good idea what could have kept them.

However, Tsunade took it up a notch. "Naruto! You have got to stop being late! This one of the exact reasons why you're getting a genin team! Baka!" Naruto mock wilted under her attack, still grumbling about the foolishness of a Hokage getting a genin team to teach. "Now, Team Kage, you will all be getting a squad of three genin to take under your wing. You will train them up to be exceptional shinobi like your own sensei's taught you. Fortunately, coincidence or not, today is their graduation day, and after that they will meet their new senseis, well, this afternoon. I've been informed that some of your old teammates had certain… troubles with their own teams, so those teams of genin have been moved to other senseis and those of your friends will also be picking up new teams today. It will be good for you guys to catch up again, but remember, this is an event that will be life changing for these kids, so be good to them k?"

"K" was chorused in return, and she gave a closed eyed smile.

"Now get out kiddies and go meet your…kids" she said awkwardly, cursing herself for backing herself into a corner with her own mockery. Naruto left sniggering with a slightly smiling Hinata and a blank as ever Sasuke. She was glad those two were not the type to crack up at someone, so Naruto had had to calm it down a bit too for fear of looking like an idiot. As he always did… She sighed. She hoped this was a good idea, but you never knew what would happen with genin and new senseis. Hopefully, the best?

:::

"Oi, Iruka! When are we getting our senseis!" the genin kid shouted in amidst the ruckus.

Iruka sighed. It felt like a repeat of when Naruto had graduated, all the young ninja proudly wearing their new hitai ate's sitting around in their tiered desks waiting around for their senseis.

"For the last time, they'll be here in five minutes!" he shouted out to the boy, Daigo, who was probably the most annoying in his class.

One, he was obnoxious. Two, he was loud. Three, he was just plain annoying. He wore a simple black shirt that was tight around his underdeveloped form and some loose black pants, matching his short black hair and dark brown eyes. Unassuming and dark for his personality. His hitai ate was tied around his forehead, average as well, however, his personality contrasted his looks drastically.

The girl sitting next to him, Ai, a sweetheart, batted his head and shushed him. She and the boy on the other side of her were the closest to him, and the only genin who could really control him. Ai wore a blue one piece dress that look kind of like a kimono, but with a slit along one side of the dress leg part so her legs could move freely. She was quite tall for a genin, coming up to his shoulder. She was also pretty developed for her age, but he always thrust aside such pedophilic thoughts. Her golden hair and green eyes coupled with said developed body made her very popular with the boys. The last boy on their desk was sitting quietly. His name was Jin. He had messy brown hair and blue eyes that sparkled at everything. He was fairly quiet but was always nice to everybody, acting really laid back all the time, especially whenever someone tried to pick trouble with him. He would just act like he didn't care or just grin it off. However, he had shown strength in both mental and physical aspects many times when things between his friends got out of hand and he was forced to step in to break it up. He was very sensible, while others just egged the arguers on, Jin would work to set everything right.

Iruka was brought out of his musings when the door burst open and a huge white dog bounded into the room, making various girls scream and fall off their chairs. Behind the dog came Kiba, cracking up at the shocked genin. He saw Iruka and called out.

"Hey Iruka-sensei, where's my new team!" he shouted across the room.

Iruka sweat dropped. This was to be the third team Kiba attempted to train, the kids just didn't gel with having a sensei as boisterous as Kiba. That's what he was worried about for Naruto, who would also probably have the same issue with his team. Though being Hokage probably balance it out, with the kids being in awe of him it would probably neutralize his personality issues. And, he had heard of his relationship with the newly returned Hinata; who he was heart warmed to find his old student very much alive, and could only presume her gentle personality would be calm him down a bit.

:::

Said Naruto was out in the hallway in a line behind unknown jonin and some familiar faces, along with his girlfriend and Sasuke. They were late of course, so they were at the back of the line. Talking to Ino, who'd had trouble with her own team. Apparently, their parents had banned them from her when they came home talking about sex that Ino had taken upon herself to teach them about.

Naruto was quickly getting bored of her constant rambling and whispered something in Hinata's ear. She turned bright red, and Naruto excused himself from the small group, complaining of a toilet break. Not five minutes later, Hinata said the very same thing.

When they were gone, Ino gave the remaining member of Team Kage a questioning look. He smirked. "You don't wanna know" he said knowingly, and left it at that.

Ino gave an understanding "Ahhhhh" and turned back to the queue, taking the hint and leaving it at that.

:::

The door to a random empty classroom burst open to reveal two passionately kissing ninja wrapped in each other's arms. Hinata, hoisted up in Naruto's embrace, kicked the door shut behind them as she pulled Naruto's shirt up over his head. He broke for a second to let her remove it, and then leant her up against the wall so he could get his hands free. She kept herself above ground by leaning on the wall and wrapping her legs around his waist, blushing when she felt something poking her between the legs.

He started to unzip her chunin vest, getting it undone halfway before she stopped him. "No, we don't have enough time" she whispered.

He took the initiative and let her down, before having his pants off in an instant, his bulging erection pointing towards Hinata with penetrating intent. She began to pull her skirt down when he pressed up hard against her again. His dick hit her forearm and she pulled back, leaving her skirt only half off her hips.

Naruto grabbed said hips and pushed her skirt back up over them, then snagged her undies with a finger and pulled them to the side, out of the way of her pussy. He held her up against the wall again so she wrapped her legs around him, and when she was again supported he used one hand to open her pussy lips with two fingers while the other guided his dick in.

Soon they were both grunting and panting, him thrusting her up against the wall. She cried out in ecstasy as he pounded into her, blushing profusely at where they were, where little kids got taught. But she couldn't ignore the pleasure coming from her pussy and the two soon left a warm sticky mess on the ground by the classroom wall.

They smiled and kissed again, and Naruto decided they had time enough for a round two, wrapping his hand in her hair as he again pounded into her. Hinata screamed her lungs out all the while, too caught up in the moment to care whoever the hell heard.

:::

When they arrived back outside Iruka's class, they found that maybe they hadn't had time for the second and what probably could be classified as third rounds, because the line was completely gone. Naruto rushed into the classroom first to get a random rake lying on the ground to the face.

"Ouch" he groaned, rubbing his face to the chorus of 6 genins laughter. Presumably his and Hinata's teams. Iruka was nowhere to be seen, presumably having ditched. He looked over the teams, and asked whose was his. Three genin put their hands up and he quickly grabbed them by the collars and stormed back out of the room. Before he left, he noticed Hinata about to enter. He let go of a genin for a second to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Good luck" he whispered then regrabbed his genin and continued to drag them out of the school.

:::

"Umm, sorry I'm late" Hinata said as she entered the room, her sensory chakra flooding it to find the three figures lounging on their row of desks.

"Are you Hinata Hyuuga?" one said immediately.

She looked towards the voice and nodded her head. "Yes, that's me; I assume you three are my team?" They all nodded their heads, Hinata felt the slight change in her chakra field so she smiled.

Meanwhile, Daigo was staking out his new sensei. She didn't look much. Apart from a partially unzipped black chunin vest and various kunai and senbon strapped to her arms and legs, and the obvious Hyuuga eyes. Other than that, there was nothing to indicate she was very strong. He grimaced in distaste. Why had he got a girl sensei? He could probably beat her with one arm tied behind his back! His view of her was not about to increase from what happened next.

Ai, who had spoken first, noticed the sheen of sweat on Hinata, her messy hair and scrunched up clothes; mainly skirt, and asked a very embarrassing question. To Hinata, at least.

"Were you just having some last minute training with the Hokage? Was that why you were late?" she asked innocently, causing Hinata to turn red. This immediately confused her students.

"U-Umm, well, I-I guess y-you could call it that." Inside, Hinata's knees were weak from what she just said. If that was training then what was the main event!

Daigo scowled even more. 'She stutters too! What sort of ninja is she!'

Finally, Jin spoke up. "It's great to meet you Hinata-sensei" he said respectfully, getting out of his chair in preparation to leave.

The other two followed his lead and they were standing in front of her in no time. Ai was almost the same height as Hinata, but Daigo had to give his sensei some sort of credit. Ai had breasts that rivaled the other senseis that had come in to pick up teams, but from what he could see of this girl, she dwarfed Ai. 'I'm such a perve' he thought randomly.

Hinata leant forward slightly with a bright, closed eyed smile. "Well, I'm really happy to meet you guys" she said sincerely. "I hope I can teach you all some great stuff, and how to survive out there, it really is a harsh world." Jin suddenly saw her smile become forced. He was perceptive like that. He was good at reading people. "I only wish I could see you're lovely faces" Hinata said quietly to herself.

Daigo was mumbling that yea, he hoped she could teach him something as well, being a dick as usual, so the other two almost missed the last part. But, they didn't.

"Hold up, what did you just say?" Ai all but shouted.

Hinata jumped. "Oh, did I say that out loud?" she said. Inside she was cursing herself. 'Dammit, first turning up all messy, now already letting them know I'm blind! So much for looking cool!' "Umm, well, I-I'm blind you see" she said embarrassedly.

The three genin stood in silence. "R-really?" Jin finally asked.

"Y-yes" she said sadly. "But don't worry, I can still be a ninja, and I can still teach you heaps, so please don't think any less of me."

"Of course not sensei!" Ai said. "But, but why are you blind? I thought Hyuuga were the best seeing ninja ever!"

Hinata again looked sad. "Sorry, its confidential, b-but, well, I had to make myself blind so some people couldn't steal something. That's all I'm allowed to say sorry" she said.

Hell no. The genin were not going to leave it at that, but they silently signaled each other with their eyes to let it slip till later.

"So, should we go?" Hinata said and brightened up.

"Yup!" the three chorused, getting over their different moods in excitement of their first day as genin acting under a new sensei.

:::

When they were out of the school, Hinata spread her chakra in a fifty meter radius, the invisible blanket coating her surroundings. It was almost like a permanent byakugan, she could 'see' 360 degrees, but it was more limited than actual seeing and was without the range of a real Byakugan.

She led them to a quite spot under a tree in her old training area with the three posts where she had spent so long in her youth, and sat down cross legged with them.

"So, um, what do you all hope to be?" she asked.

When no-one volunteered, she took a deep breath and forged ahead. "I know it's hard to know at your age, but surely you've got something you want to do." Again silence, so she began picking. "Ok, Ai, what do you want to be?"

Ai, being put in the spotlight, had no choice but to reply. "Uh, become a jonin I guess…" she said.

"That's great for now!" Hinata encouraged. "What about you Jin?"

He looked down, not about to share his deepest thought with this random new sensei until he knew her better, and too shame with his friends there. "Uh, just jonin too I guess" he said then leant back on his hands, signaling he was done.

Hinata sighed. She could tell from his split second hesitation that that wasn't what he wanted, but who was she to pry? She respected people's opinions; after all, she had kept her love for Naruto a secret for most of her life!

"And you Daigo?" she queried to the boy who she felt would give her the most trouble. Of course, she was correct. He… well, he farted. He leant back, lifted up his leg, and let out a huge fart. Now Hinata did not see that one coming. Her face was priceless to the genin and he cracked up.

Hinata just looked at him blankly, and then stood up. "Well, that didn't really work, you guys um, want to learn something now?" she asked.

Daigo instantly stopped laughing and Ai stopped her scolding, the three genin standing up eagerly. "Do you guys know anything about chakra control yet?" she asked. Three shaking heads. "Well, the most basic form of chakra control is directing it to your feet, so you can walk on various surfaces you normally wouldn't be able to." Three confused looks. Great. "Well, it's like this."

She walked over to the tree they were under and placed a foot on it, then her other so that she was perpendicular to the ground. Three jaws dropping. Now that was more like it. She walked up until she found a tall enough overhanging branch, then walked onto that so she was upside down, her hair hanging down in a halo around her. "So, who wants to give it a try?" she asked.

"Oh! Oh! Me, Me!" Daigo shouted. She smiled in his general direction, then released her chakra and flipped midair to show off her skills, landing gracefully back on two feet.

"It can be difficult at first, but don't worry, you'll get it one day, and then it'll be as simple as breathing" she reassured, then commenced in teaching them the specific details of tree walking.

She then drew three kunai, gave them one each to try on the tree, and went out into the clearing to lay down for a bit, where she began working on her chakra sheet extension. The max she could do at the moment was only a hundred meters, not good enough for even A-rank missions. And she was way too scared to use the Nibi's eyes, she hadn't done that for so long, ever since Megumi died, and didn't know what would happen. She would preferably be in the middle of nowhere with no one around when that happened.

A sudden idea came to her. 'I wonder if the Byakugan still works' she thought, then opened up the familiar pathways for her ocular dojutsu. As before, pain flared in her eyes and they started bleeding, but for a fleeting moment she saw her three genin around the tree. She smiled and took in their appearances as they continued to fall flat on their back from failed tree climbs, but then the pain overwhelmed her as she felt even more blood vessels in her eyes popping, so she deactivated it with a grimace. Quickly wiping the blood away, she found that it only smeared, so bent over and rubbed her eyes with her skirt end, that material of course being better than a chunin vest or fishnet top to rub away blood.

However, this did not go unnoticed by her genin. "What's the matter sensei?" Ai asked, walking over.

Hinata glance up quickly, really hoping the blood was gone by then. "Oh, nothing, just something in my eye" she said, brushing it off.

Somehow it worked and Ai walked back to the tree without so much has an extra question. Hinata got up and followed her, still rubbing her eyes with a hand. "Well guys, I'm sorry but I've got to go now, you three can do what you want for the rest of the day, try to learn that technique. I have a special test for you tomorrow, so meet at Area 51 at nine tomorrow ok?"

"Ok!" came from Ai and Jin, while Daigo just kept at trying to climb the tree.

She smiled at his determination, turned, and walked all the way back to Naruto's apartment where she could finally relax and sort out something better with her eyes. They certainly made things more difficult.

:::

Meanwhile, Ai was not as satisfied with her answer as she had appeared. As soon as Hinata was truly gone, she stopped her teammates from their training and sat them down for a good talk.

"Ok, we've got to get to bottom of this! Did you see her! Her eyes were bleeding! Bleeding! That's crazy! We've got to find out what's wrong with her, and if there's a way to help her!"

Jin nodded but Daigo was not so acceptable. "Why? Why should we care, we should just kick her ass for being so weak and blind and do some more training!"

Jin looked at him, his usually kind demeanor sliding off. "Are you serious Daigo? Do you really think we, three genin, could take her on? And don't fricking dis her disability, that's even below you man."

Daigo wilted, having just gotten a solid talking to from the usually quite Jin. "Yea, ok man" he said in quiet submission.

Then Ai butted in. "Plus, we should find out the top secret reason behind her! Don't you guys wanna know that 'it's confidential' thing?"

This certainly brightened up the two boys. "Yea, let's go!" Daigo shouted and leapt up, racing off in a cloud of dust leaving the other two sweat dropping genin to catch up.

:::

"Hey Ino-sensei, can we ask you some questions?" Ai said as they found Ino training her team in the same tree climbing exercise they had just done.

"Uh, ok?" Ino said uncertainly and walked off a little ways from her team to speak to the genin. "Where's your sensei?" she queried.

"That's what we're her to talk to you about" Daigo said.

"It's Hinata" Ai finished.

Ino looked at them suspiciously. "And what was your question?"

Ai smiled. "We just wanted to know why Hinata's blind, that's all, we feel sorry for her and wanna see what we can do for her."

Ino visibly stiffened. "Uh, sorry, that's confidential. Anyway, I don't really know that much about Hinata anymore, she was gone for so long" she said, a faraway look now in her eyes as she obviously lost herself in memories. Then she was gone back to her team before the genin could protest.

They looked at each other curiously, even more confused. "It's that bad?" Jin wondered out loud.

The next few senseis had exactly the same responses, except Sasuke of course, who just hn'd and told them it was classified, no other expression apparent on his face. They had almost given up hope when the saw the Hokage shouting exasperatedly at his team in a clearing. They grinned, he had been training with Hinata earlier, maybe they were good friends and he would divulge something on the subject.

"Umm, excuse me Hokage-sama" Ai said, lightly tugging on his coat. He looked down at her.

"Hey there!" he said cheerfully, revealing his previous yelling had all been in good fun.

"Um, can we ask you a few questions about our sensei?" she asked politely.

"Sure!" he said and mimicked the other senseis movements, moving slightly away from his team. He looked at the three, noticing that they had been the last ones in the classroom. "You three are Hinata's student's aye? What did you want to know about her?"

"Well…" Ai started out more hesitantly, this being there last chance. "We were wondering why she was, er, blind"

Naruto to stiffened. "Um, that's supposed to be confidential" he said, but didn't immediately leave.

She took this as an incentive. "But she's our sensei! We deserve to know about her! C'mon Hokage-sama, her eyes were bleeding earlier! Bleeding! That's crazy! We need to know what's up with her!" Finally, she brought out her trump card. "Pleeeeeaaaaasssseee" she whined, giving him the puppy dog eyes.

He sighed in defeat. Turning around he shouted out to his team to continue training, then instructed Hinata's team to follow him into the forest. He thought to himself about her bleeding eyes. 'She must have been trying to use the Byakugan again. But why?'

They found a clearing a short way in and sat down in a small circle. "Hinata's had an extremely hard past, so I need you to promise me none of this leaves this clearing" he said solemnly. Three equally solemn nods were received. "Ok, I'll start at the beginning. A year ago, you all know how the village was destroyed right?" Three nods. Daigo was strangely silent, interested about the life of the girl that was to be his sensei. If he was going to accept her, he wanted to know what 'hardships' she had been through. Basically, if she was 'worthy'.

Naruto continued. "Well, right after then, village security was pretty low. Hinata was the only unsealed Hyuuga present. This made her a huge target for Kumo, so they stole her. It's still unclear to this day, but they used some sort of highly advanced technique to leave a fake dead body of her behind, so she was thought dead for a whole year, before we rediscovered her."

The genin gasped. Naruto went silent for a while, before Daigo asked, unusually quiet "How did you 'rediscover' her?" he queried.

Naruto took a deep breath. "Well, she had been converted by the enemy. The hardships they put her through, near rape, torture, and something's far worse than you could ever imagine-" he thought of how she had become a jinchuuriki. "That I cannot tell you, they made her create a split personality to deal with it all. Unfortunately, this personality took over so that she was hostile when we found her. We then took her back to the village and interrogated her, and through it, she explained what had happened, and came back to us."

He looked around, seeing confused looks, and decided he had to elaborate. "She sealed her own eyes so that they couldn't take her Byakugan. You don't know how hard and painful that was, or the beating and partial rape that broke almost every bone in her body that came afterwards. But ever since then, when her eyes were unsealed, she had limited, blurry vision. Afterwards, me, Sasuke Uchiha, and her formed a team and went off to get her revenge. It, uhh, ended up in the whole Cloud village's genocide. Every person in the Cloud was killed. Ever since then her eyesight deteriorated until she found she was permanently blind just this morning."

Now the genin were gawking. "You, you, you were the one that destroyed the entire cloud village?" Daigo stuttered in amazement.

Naruto smiled ruefully. "Not me, Hinata did" he said.

This almost made Daigo faint. That girl, his sensei, the one that he had been giving shit to all day, the one that he had thought was unworthy of being a ninja, had destroyed an entire hidden village? That was just unbelievable! He voiced this.

"That's bullshit!" he yelled. "I don't believe you!"

Naruto looked at him blankly. "Believe me or not, I'm the Hokage and I wouldn't lie about this stuff. It's serious, and she's not proud of what she did." The three genin took a moment to consider as he rapped up the story. "Well, when we got back from cloud we were punished to take on genin teams, but I actually secretly like it, and I'm sure Hinata does to. She went through some…. A hard time between then and now, but she's recovered, so you have nothing to worry about, k?"

Ai spoke up. "But, why were her eyes bleeding? Do they always do that because she's blind?"

Naruto grimaced. "She must have been trying to use her Byakugan, her kekkei genkai. Why? I have no idea. But it does that to her and she's only able to do it for a few seconds at most."

"Ahhh" came from Ai. "She said when she met us that she wished she could see our faces, maybe she was trying to do that?"

Naruto nodded. "That would explain it. She's cool like that."

As the genin said their thank you's and got up to leave, Naruto's face turned deadly serious. "Wait, there's one more thing I should tell you about her" he said. The quality of his voice froze the genin in their tracks. "If you ever see even a hint of her chakra turn purple, you run. Don't try to talk to her; don't try to save each other, you just run as fast as you can. Anywhere, just away from her. You sprint as far away as you can and don't stop until she comes to get you. She has something… with her, that if her grasp slips on it, it could repeat the Cloud incident. You don't want to be around when that happens."

The three genin were basically shivering in their boots. "Wh-what is it?" Ai spoke up.

"Sorry, I can't tell you that" Naruto said, then grinned and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "But don't worry about her! She'd sooner die than let harm come to you guys, so please, don't try to get another sensei or anything, and don't treat her any differently. I'd hate to think I made you guys scared of cute little Hinata!"

Daigo turned from fearful to grinning arrogance in an instant. "Don't worry Hokage guy! She's super strong, so I'm definitely not trading senseis for anyone but you!" he shouted confidently.

Naruto again repeated his sheepish gesture. "C'mon, give her some credit, if I wasn't careful around her she could kick my ass too!"

The other genin agreed with Daigo that they would not ditch there sensei, especially after she had gone through so much, and when they were gone, started talking about how to get her eyesight back.

Unsuccessfully however. By the time the three parted at the end of the day, thoughts galloped through their young minds about their new sensei who would hopefully train them up to be as good as her.

They fell asleep peacefully, knowing their futures were safe with the strength of Hinata Hyuuga.
