Hinata was in a hissy fit more than ever, even Snakey couldn't calm down his Kuro Hime. Naruto just kept his distance if Hinata tries to punch his way or kick the ground so hard that it lands in his eyes. Poor Snakey... He had to wrap around Naruto's neck, which freaks him out a bit, until Hinata calms down and actually walks normal. Hinata stopped walking and turned to Naruto. He stopped as soon as Hinata did and Snakey hissed in curiosity.
"Um... Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"Kuro Hime?" Snakey asked.
"Sorry guys... It's just that duck-ass back there pissed me off" Hinata answered them.
"Um, but weren't you the only one throwing insults at him?"
"He has a point..."
"I wasn't the only one throwing insults through these past years..."
"True..."
They all kept walking until they finally reached the graveyard. Being greeted by passing ghosts, tackled to the ground by dead children, and complimented by elder ghosts on the way inside the mansion, Hinata felt like she was special at last and was meant something. The rickety door opened by itself and on the couch was Yondaime, Shodaime, and Nidaime drinking tea. Shodaime noticed Hinata first and motioned her and Naruto to step closer. They did as they were told and Hinata saw something shiny underneathe the couch.
"Hinata, we would like to give you a gift. This will help you on your missions for day and night" Shodaime told her.
"Since we're already happy to call you a ninja, how about something much more?" Nidaime continued, still sipping his tea.
"Now close your eyes..." Yondaime finished, setting his tea down. "The same goes for Naruto and Snakey."
All three of them closed their eyes. Hinata shut hers first because she couldn't wait for the surprise. Nidaime picked up the object that was under the couch carefully and held it in front of him.
"Okay, open them" Nidaime said.
Hinata's eyes shot open and it widened when she saw the object in Nidaime's hands. She jumped up and down with her hands in the air like a hyperactive Naruto and screamed in glee. Naruto opened his second, just in case Nidaime had something scary in his hands. Snakey was the last to open his. Face it, he would've squirmmed off somewhere deep into the mansion if something had frightened him. Both of them had their jaws on the ground when they saw the object in Nidaime's hands.
"No way!" Naruto and Snakey shouted in unison.
"Yes way! Oh my gosh! I got a scythe of my own!" Hinata gleed as she took the scythe from Nidaime's hand.
She was so excited that she actually swung the scythe around to test it out. It sliced a vase and the flowers fell out, dead on the ground. Even though they were ghosts, Nidaime, Shodaime, and Yondaime had to dodge the blade so it wouldn't touch them. One slice on a soul can sentence them to eternal limbo. I guess they forgot to tell her that when she was jumping around in glee.
"Hinata! Stop swinging! I want my head on my shoulders, thank you very much!" Naruto screamed.
"Whoops! My bad Naruto!" Hinata apologized as she stopped swinging her scythe. "But you gotta admit, this scythe is pretty cool!"
"Yeah, it really is."
The three passed Hokages sighed in relief that Hinata had finally stopped swinging her scythe. Yondaime spoke up before Hinata started swinging again.
"Hinata, there's something you should know about the scythe..." Yondaime started.
Hinata turned to him and focused on what he was about to say.
"The scythe we gave you is cursed. So if you by chance slice a ghost, they'll be sent to eternal limbo, forever..."Yondaime finished.
Hinata stared at him in shocked. They gave her a cursed scythe that can send souls to limbo? Hinata had always wanted a scythe, but she doesn't want one that can cause harm to a soul.
"Why did you give this to me then...?" Hinata asked, shocked.
"Exorcists were looking for this scythe for years now" Nidaime started
"If they get ahold of that scythe, souls all over won't rest in peace" Shodaime continued.
"That's why we have you, so you can protect the souls and find a way to bring the ones trapped in limbo, back to their graves" Yondaime finished.
Hinata stared at the scythe.
"Can't we just break it...?" Hinata asked.
"No. The curse will just find a new scythe and the search for that scythe would go on for ten years" Shodaime explained.
"Ten years? It's hard to find that particular scythe?" Naruto questioned them.
"Yes. Since people find it cultural to celebrate the Grim Reaper and his deliveries of souls to Heaven or Hell, blacksmiths go overboard on that holiday and make more than 20 scythes per month" Yondaime explained further.
"Which takes ten years or more just to find it..." Nidaime finished.
Hinata looked at the scythe again as it glowed a powerful purple. She closed her eyes and reopened them.
"I'll be happy to take this scythe and the responsibility of Pre-Queen to make sure this scythe doesn't fall into the wrong hands" Hinata smirked.
The three passed Hokages smiled at her and Naruto patted her back as Snakey slithered around her neck and hissed in happiness. Hinata smiled at the responsibility she has. A little scared, but she can handle it...
