LUCID – DIED

The Dream World, Hinata's House

Hinata woke blissfully. This was the first time she had felt truly rested upon waking. The faintly illuminated room enough for her to work out it was the morning. It was the weekend, the Saturday. There is not long left for Naruto but Hinata is unaware of such constraints on time, she is just happy to be able to spend another day in paradise.

She heads downstairs, eager to find what will await her this time. Was this a dream, perhaps it was given the way everything happened. She was enjoying that dream though, the deeper she went into it the more perfect it became. As she went into the kitchen she was delighted to see that her son was still looking healthy. It seemed like there really were going to be no after-effects of the poison.

"Good morning Nikko" she called as she moved over to a seat, "Good morning son".

"Morning mommy!".
"Good morning, dear".

Nikko was reading the news and their child was playing with some toys. It was a perfectly innocent and ordinary weekend, with everyone relaxing and spending time together just like they should be. That would never happen with Naruto, he would always be too busy looking after the village. Hinata didn't resent Naruto for that, she never could, she admired his passion and determination as a shinobi. However, she couldn't help wondering if any children they had would resent Naruto for this eternal absence. Naruto had to grow up without parents, it wouldn't be the same if he had children but Hinata wouldn't want that for anybody. It's hard to show someone they are loved from a distance.

"So, it's the weekend, do we have any plans" Hinata asked.
"I want to go the park" their son shouted as he lifted his hand into the air.

Hinata didn't know what to do in this situation. It hurt her to be so distant with her own son, to not know what he was thinking or whether this was OK. She hoped that one day she may know these things well, hoping that one day she would be a proper mother.

That didn't help her in the meantime, instead she looked to the boy's father, Nikko. Nikko looked accepting of the situation. He was happy that Hinata was taking an interest, only a couple of days ago she was completely rejecting that this child was her son. He looked back at his wife and nodded. The suggestion was perfectly acceptable, it may help Hinata to remember the times they had spent together in the past. More than anything else, he wanted them to be happy as often as they could be, for as long as they could be.

"Alright" Hinata said, rubbing her son atop his head, "Let's go to the park".

They did just that. They each changed into appropriate clothes and headed out to the park.

The Dream World, The Park

Hinata had wondered how it would be, taking her son to the park. She wasn't disappointed by the experience. Seeing him smile as he played was wonderful. She decided that happiness was best when it was shared with others, when you could see the smile of another and not help but smile yourself.

She had pushed him on the swings, seeing how high he could get. She told him about how he would be a shinobi one day. She told him that if he worked hard and never gave up, that he would be able to climb as high as he wants in the world.

She watched him run around the park like it was an obstacle course, his arms held out to his side, trying to run swiftly like a shinobi. She couldn't help but ponder how amazing he may be one day, would he be this world's version of Naruto, would he scale the mountain and become Hokage.

Lastly, she and Nikko watched as he met the other children in the part and began to play with them. He seemed to be popular, almost like the leader of the group who adopted him.

"This is nice, isn't it" Hinata smiled.
"Yeah, it's really nice" Nikko put his arm around his wife's shoulder, pulling her close.
"Almost dream-like".
"Don't start that again".
"I'm joking… I just really like it".

Hinata had been joking initially but her own joke brought her back to reality. The other world seemed terrible now that she looked at it. Neji was dead. She hadn't become the same legendary shinobi she had in this world. She hadn't the same confidence she had here. Indeed, there was only one redeeming feature of that world compared to this one, Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto had a way of making the entire world seem more complete, more real. It was like she had earnt everything in that world, like all the cracks had been filled in, rather than papered over.

"Why don't we dance?". Nikko had noticed Hinata had become distant since her last comment. He didn't want her to lose the happiness she had finally grasped. "We can dance just like we did on our wedding day".

"I don't remember how we danced on our wedding day" Hinata said, reminding Nikko of Sakura's diagnosis.

Nikko grabbed Hinata's hands, dragging her away from the fence the two of them were leaning against. "Come on, I will show you, it will be fine".

That is what Nikko did. They danced just like they had on their wedding day. A dance with the waves is how it had been described at the time and that is how it felt to Hinata. Fluid like the ocean, rising to a high pace and then slowing down instantly before slowly building its way back up. It had been a perfect dance, a flawless dance. Clearly the couple had maintained the agility they had picked up when training as shinobi, they hadn't put a foot wrong.

As the dance ended, Hinata couldn't help but smile. It all felt so seamless, so effortless. She had wondered if this world had always felt like that. As the dance ended the couple found themselves face-to-face. As if by instinct, incited by their close proximity and the feeling of their bodies on one another, they shared a quick kiss. It hadn't been anything like last time, it had been natural, perhaps even mutual.

Hinata lost herself for a moment. It truly felt like this was real and that everything else was a dream. She felt like the two of them were completely alone until she was snatched back to reality by a child's shout.

"Mommy" her son shouted as he ran over to the two of them.

"Oh" Hinata was shocked, she had forgotten what was happening. "It's time to go home, isn't it?".

"Yes, I think so" Nikko said, a smug smile on his face.

Hinata hit him playfully on the arm, she knew that he was teasing her with that smile. Previously when he had approached her that morning on the grass, she had no familiarity towards him at all. Now they were almost as close as they had been before, taking romantic trips on boats, taking their child to the park as a family.

"Let's go then" Hinata said, taking he son's hand while Nikko took the other. Together they walked back towards their house.

'That kiss was more natural than last time but… something still didn't feel right'.

The Hyuuga felt guilty but it wasn't Nikko that was popping into her head. It was the man from the other world, the man she was increasingly sure wasn't real. It felt like everything in this world was incomplete and that it was his fault.

'But it was so perfect, how could I be thinking about someone other than him'.

It was the dance. Hinata was finally understanding that. It was the dance.

'I think I understand now… that's why I enjoyed dancing'.
'I loved the feeling of falling and Naruto catching me'.
'How could I ever be caught… if I never fell in the first place'.

The Cave

The cave wasn't reminiscent of how it was when Naruto and Hinata first found it. It was completely unrecognisable. Those outside the heat field looked in with astonishment. Some of them had seen Naruto's power in person, they believed he could do anything. The others were different, some of those present had never seen Naruto in action before. The heat field presented an invisible barrier between green forest and barren wasteland. It was starting to look so desolate it could be mistaken for the land of wind. In such incredible persistent heat, one couldn't survive without a barrier. Keeping up a powerful barrier for such a long time inside would be nearly impossible, they struggled to comprehend how anybody could do it. Only Naruto or Sasuke could.

Naruto looked through his barrier at the degrading landscape, the blood from his hand stopped flowing. He hadn't moved, the red bodily fluid still stained the floor beneath him. He leaned over to his side, struggling to reach for the radio with one hand. He had some energy to spare but it wasn't much, he was exhausted. He was doing his absolute best to conserve his stamina.

"Sakura…" he breathed out, holding the button on the radio. "Sakura, are you there?".

There was a brief delay while the medical shinobi moved to answer the radio. She wasn't long though, she had been waiting on Naruto. She had been unwilling to sleep since getting here, drifting off for minutes at a time when the conditions overcame her.

"Yeah" she finally answered, "I'm here Naruto".

"She is slipping away Sakura, she is slipping away from us" Naruto said.

Sakura could tell the pain Naruto was in as he said these words. The shinobi was warned that he would need to be Hinata's anchor to reality, that he was ill-equipped for such a job. To be proven right was agonising. He was the Hero of the Hidden Leaf, so mighty and yet so incapable of doing anything.

"She's beginning to favour the other world. Every time she comes back she thinks it's better than the last. Slowly, she is beginning to forget what is so great about our world".

"Naruto, you need to change that" Sakura explained. "Only you can change it, you are in love with her Naruto, remind her".

The Uzumaki clansmen looked over his shoulder. She looked beautiful even in this desolate setting. Hinata lit up even the darkest of situations for him. The light was wavering though, threatening to go out when life is darkest. Hinata was perhaps the last light that Naruto would ever have in his life, he couldn't bare sitting by and watching her flicker.

"She's confused about what love is Sakura, about which world she feels it in" Naruto explained.
"I see".
"I'm not a genius… how can I explain something like that. Sakura, what is it you feel for Sasuke?".
"Naruto…".
"Please, can you explain it to me, can you make me understand?".

Sakura compared herself and Sasuke to Naruto and Hinata. Truthfully, their story was a lot less pleasant. Naruto and Hinata were both heroes of the village who never gave up, who endured pain together. Sasuke was a traitor, a traitor who she would have left the village to follow. They had both made mistakes that were only rectified by Naruto's attitude, by his determination. She wondered if she was qualified to explain anything about love to Naruto and Hinata. Then she realised that wasn't her problem, her problem was that she couldn't explain love because she didn't understand it herself.

"No" she admitted. She held her head low as she spoke into the radio. "I can't explain it, love isn't so easy to understand. Otherwise everyone would find love".

"Sakura…".

"I know there is a special connection between Sasuke and I, just like with you and Hinata. I can't explain it, Naruto, I'm sorry. The feeling is just so… illogical".

The medical shinobi was feeling useless. She felt like she had always dragged Naruto and Sasuke down. She couldn't match either of them for power or resolve. Time and time again she had made mistakes that would leave Naruto cleaning up after her. During the war she thought she had drawn level with them, that she had stopped holding them back. Now once again she couldn't help but feel like she was doing nothing for Naruto.

"What am I supposed to do?" Naruto asked, "How can I answer her unanswerable question?".

Sakura tightened her grip on the radio. She refused to sit by and do nothing.

"I don't know but listen to me Uzumaki. You are a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf on active duty. Now you have to make her understand, do you hear me?" Sakura put on her most authoritative voice as she spoke. "Because if you can't do this, how are you going to become the Hokage".

"I'm not concerned with being the Hokage now Sakura. I just want Hinata to wake up".

"If you care about her more than your dream then tell her why! Find a way to explain yourself, make her fall in love with you again. You have to… you have to…".

The Dream World, Late Evening, Hinata's House

The sun was setting on a wonderful day in the dream world. Hinata had gone the whole day without fainting so far. She supposed that meant that she may be getting better, her illness may be fading. She didn't know if that was for the best or for the worst but she was delighted at the smiling happy faces of her husband and her son. If this was the real world then it was getting better all the time and when her condition was alleviated, she would truly have nothing to worry about. The day was wonderful, until a knock came on the door.

Hinata saw that Nikko was playing with their son so she stood and went to answer it. Knowing this world, it was probably going to be something pleasant on the other side. It wasn't.

On the other side of the door, was the hooded woman.

"You…" Hinata muttered.

She instantly began to compute possibilities in her head. She didn't want anything violent to happen here, especially with Nikko and her son nearby. It didn't seem like this woman was going to hurt anybody and it would preferable to make her leave with no incidents. Hinata was surprised at how quickly she thought this all through, she was clearly more experienced, more thoroughly trained in this world. She wondered if this was how Naruto and Sasuke must have felt.

"I have come back to see you again, Hinata" the hooded woman explained, raising her finger to point to the open room behind the Hyuuga. "Are you enjoying the world that I constructed for you… the world of your dreams".

In a flash, Hinata remembered the exact situation. Yes, this world was the dream world, the fantasy. The other place, the one where the water was disappearing and the landscape seemed like it would set on fire, that was the real world.

The hooded woman smiled at Hinata's confusion. She could tell that this was all just starting to make sense for Hinata. This dream world, this technique had confused the Hyuuga in just the way she had hoped it would. This dream world to target the loved ones of the powerful was working even on Uzumaki Naruto, the most powerful shinobi in the lands.

The hooded woman reached her hand up, tauntingly moving it towards Hinata's face. She had underestimated Hinata's resolve though, her shyness should never be mistaken for a lack of willpower. Hinata slapped her hand away, she didn't want to play games and she wouldn't be intimidated, not here.

"Follow me" the hooded woman demanded as she turned and walked into the dark.

"… Nikko, I'm just heading out with a friend for a minute".
"OK".

Nikko didn't ask any questions. If Hinata remembered someone well enough to call them a friend, that was enough for him.

The Dream World, An Isolated Street

They had separated from Nikko and the child, that was enough to calm Hinata. She wasn't so concerned for her own safety as she was for theirs. Now she could look this woman head-on and confront her if need be.

The hooded woman lifted her hands up, wrapping her long bony fingers around the edges of her hood and pulling it down behind her head. She revealed a long pale blue mane, a shinobi's head protector and an unblemished face. Hinata estimated this girl was likely even younger than she was, a relative novice in the shinobi world. What stood out most about this woman was her eyes, one deep blue, one blood red. It was either a unique kekkai genkai or the result of an experiment.

"So, do you recognise me?" the girl asked with a smile.
"The rogue shinobi list" Hinata murmured.
"Oh, you're very good".
"Your name is Itoh Rii, a Hidden Cloud shinobi, a scientist".

Rii was just that, a rogue shinobi formerly of the Hidden Cloud. A scientist who valued power above all else. She wanted to dance in the uncontrollable chaos of the world with science as her only ally. She wanted to compare her knowledge against others and prove that knowledge is power, that her talent for science can surpass even the mightiest of shinobi's powers.

Rii was delighted that Hinata remembered her in such depth. "You're spot on. I'm a scientist and you are part of my finest work".

"What do you want?" Hinata asked.

"I want to know what you think of this world which I have created for you". Despite Hinata's confusion over the world's Rii was holding nothing back. The scientist made no effort to hide which world was fantasy and which was reality.

"It's perfect" Hinata sighed, looking around. "It's a world of my own fantasies, how could I not love it? But it feels like something isn't there, like the cornerstone of the world is missing".

Hinata didn't want to give Rii the satisfaction of a compliment but that is what she had done. Rii reacted ecstatically, her mind exploding at what she was being told. This technique was so close to perfection, it almost made full use of Hinata's subconscious. The technique still had one weakness though, one final imperfection that irritated Rii. For some reason she couldn't understand, she couldn't duplicate Naruto in this world. She could mimic all of Hinata's desires but not Naruto.

"Tomorrow will be the fateful day" Rii explained, "Tomorrow you will have to make the choice".

"Choice… what choice?".

"You have to choose which world you want to stay in and which will be cut off forever".

Tomorrow, the day Rii's plan would come to a climax, the deadline that Tetsuya had set for Naruto. It had all been as perfect as she had hoped. In the final seconds of Hinata's life, Naruto would realise that she hadn't chosen him and they would die together. How poetic.

"No" Hinata shook her head, she couldn't accept this. "That's like being asked to kill Naruto".

"You could kill your family here, or is your mind already made up" Rii smiled.

Hinata was stunned by the question but knew that Rii was right. Hinata had subconsciously admitted that she was favouring the dream world over reality. If that was the decision she made it would mean never seeing Naruto again, it would mean never seeing the other world again.

"Hyuuga Hinata, you will need to decide which world you really love, whom you really love" Rii gloated, enjoying every second of her explanation, "But perhaps the reason you're struggling is that question in your head, what is love?".

She was right, Hinata knew this to be the case. She still hadn't come to an answer on that most important of questions. What was she striving for, how would she know which world to choose, what is love?

"… I don't know what love is but I feel more comfortable in this world" Hinata explained, "And my son, I can't picture separating from him now. He's my child. He's my child".

Hinata turned her back and walked away from Rii. Valuing every second she could spend in both worlds, no matter which she ended up choosing.

Rii continued to grin excitedly, like a child about to win a game.

"Tomorrow is the big day Hyuuga Hinata".
"The day where you choose your truth, once and for all".

The Dream World, Hinata's House

Hinata returned with moist eyes. She had been crying but didn't want to show that. Calming herself down, she entered through the same door she had exited. She had hoped for a moment of reprieve, a moment to collect her thoughts but it wasn't to be. The second she entered she came face to face with Nikko.

"Who was that?" her husband asked.
"Oh, just a shinobi from another village I worked with once" she answered, failing to fool him.
"Are you OK, you look upset?".
"It's fine… I'm fine, thank you, Nikko".

Nikko could tell that she was lying, he had seen Hinata get upset enough times to know when it was happening. She may be trying to hide the fact but she was most definitely distressed.

Hinata looked straight back at Nikko. He hadn't hesitated, he hadn't wavered, the moment he thought she was upset he pointed it out, he asked if he could do anything. She knew that she was lucky, no matter which world she chose that would be the case. Even if the world was going to end and the sky was going to collapse, whether it was Naruto or Nikko, they would come running when she needed them.

"Can I put him to bed again" Hinata asked.
"Of course, go ahead".

Hinata put her son to bed, knowing this may be the final time she would be doing this. The thought tore at her soul, she couldn't bear it. Separating from this brilliant young boy, she didn't know what love but she was certain that she must love this child. He appeared so innocent, so perfect, so ideal. If that was her dream speaking then so be it, she dreamt about it because she wanted it to be so.

"How about a story about your uncle Neji" Hinata suggested.
"Can I have a story about dad?" her son yawned.

Hinata felt awkward, she didn't know much about Nikko even now. She knew what happened at their wedding, about their difficulties with the Hyuuga clan and about how they raised their child. She decided that she would have to scrape by with what little she did know.

"OK, a story about your dad".
"Your dad has always been an uh… a very handsome man with a good heart".
"He has always stuck by his friends and his family".

Hinata's thought process had become distorted by her own sadness, losing track of the story she meant to tell and instead reciting what she had noticed about her husband.

"No matter how bad things have gotten he's always been very dependable".
"He always puts his family first, even when considering his job and his dream".
"He has always cared about those who need it and he… he…".

She finally realised what she had been doing, she shook her head and apologised. "Oh god, I'm sorry, this isn't much of a story, is it?".

She looked at her son though, her was already asleep. With a reluctant smile, she kissed the child on his forehead and wondered if that would be the last story she ever told him.

Exiting the room, Hinata immediately came face-to-face with Nikko who was waiting outside.

"Did you hear all of that?" she blushed.
He nodded.
"Yes, thank you. Those things you said were very kind".
"It wasn't much of a story".
"It was better than any story I've ever heard" Nikko said with an exaggerated smile.

Hinata laughed, he had reacted so nicely. His reaction could have made her feel embarrassed or awkward but he hadn't. Instead he had made her feel as if he appreciated every single thing she said, he had made her glad that she had said what she had. It was a bitter laugh though, she knew that it may not last. The laugh dragged, slowly changing from a happy chuckle to a tearful wail. She allowed herself to cry, she wouldn't do that in front of many people, Nikko was now one of the few.

"What's wrong" Nikko asked as he hugged Hinata.
"I… I've been given an ultimatum" she answered.
"An ultimatum?".
"I have to choose between this world and the real world".
Nikko was slightly grated but he didn't voice it, he understood her conflict.
"So, you still don't believe this world is real?".

It was more than that, Hinata knew that this world wasn't real. She had spoken with its creator, Itoh Rii. She knew that this was created from her dreams and it made all the sense in the world. A gentleman like Nikko, the wonderful son they shared, their dream wedding, her achievements as a shinobi, it was all a bit too fantastic.

"I don't know" she answered diplomatically. "When I look at this world, I want it to be real sometimes and I…".

"Hinata, you don't owe me anything, you should do what's best for yourself" Nikko said, interrupting his wife. "But our son is different, you do owe him something, as his mother at least. Please, if you don't consider anything else, consider him".

She nodded, how could she refute that request. The child was the best part of this world.

"I think I love him" she said through her tears, "At the very least, I think I love him".

Nikko separated from Hinata and ran his hand down her arm comfortingly. "OK, that's good… I'm going to bed, I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?".

"Yeah".

With that in mind, Hinata went to her room once again, with more on her mind than ever before.

Outside the Heat Field

Coming over the horizon was an enormous blue warrior formed from chakra. It was a Susano, one that only Sasuke could have formed. As the Susano came into view, Kakashi arrived through the trees. He had with a shinobi wearing informal attire. His collared blue shirt made it seem like he had been snatched straight from a business meeting. It was the cheerful look on his face, the way his eyes gleamed that explained who he was.

He was the rogue's leader.

Sasuke descended in his Susano, carelessly dropping the rogue shinobi that he had brought along with him. There were no broken bones but there would certainly be some bruises and swelling. The Hokage would have reprimanded his student if the circumstances had been different but his actions were certainly understandable. The victim of this most heinous attack was his best friend.

"Have there been any updates on the situation" Sasuke asked as Kakashi ordered the present shinobi to bind the arms of the rogues.

"Nothing tangible" Shikamaru answered. Not even he, with all his genius had thought of a solution to the problem.
"Naruto says that Hinata is slipping further into their world" Sakura said.
"Are these all of the rogue shinobi?".
"So we can kill the genjutsu caster if we really have to?".

Shikamaru understood the reluctance many had to kill the genjutsu caster. The general opinion of the present shinobi was split. Many believed that everything possible should be done to save Naruto and Hinata who were heroes of the Hidden Leaf. Others understood what he and Sakura had come to understand, that killing your misguided enemy can lead to an unending cycle of violence that only someone truly special can break. If there were someone to break that cycle though, it would be Uzumaki Naruto, as it had been in the past.

"It's regrettable" Shikamaru began, "But they made this choice, if necessary we should kill the caster".

"We can't kill the caster Shikamaru" Sasuke interrupted him, looking over his shoulder at the one person he had placed down carefully. "A third-party is being forced to cast the genjutsu by proxy".

The various leaf shinobi were stunned. They had never heard of a genjutsu being cast by proxy, never mind a forced proxy. It would take an enormous amount of skill, practice and talent to do such a thing, possibly even a combination of rare kekkai genkai.

"Who is the third party?" Sakura asked as she followed Sasuke's gaze.

It was someone all too familiar. It was Hyuuga Hanabi.

Sakura was stunned, they were forcing Hanabi to cast the genjutsu. To save Hinata would require killing her own sister. The elder sister would never wish for that, nor would Naruto, the rogues must have known that when they made their plan.

"That is brutal. How can you people live with yourselves, doing that kind of thing" Sakura shouted as she pointed at the rogues. She fully understood why Sasuke was so hard on them now.

One of the shinobi at the back stood up, laughing as she removed the hood attached to her Hidden Cloud shinobi uniform. Underneath her distinguishing feature was revealed, two unmatched eyes, one red and one blue. This was indeed the kekkai genkai that Sakura had suspected to be at play. A mixture of several clan's genes, a science experiment with human victims that should never have been allowed.

It was of course, Itoh Rii, the woman from Hinata's dream.

"I'm sorry Tetsuya but I just have to take credit for this" she said.

Tetsuya didn't stop smiling, he had no intention of stealing her credit, this was her masterpiece. "Go ahead Rii, this is your moment".

"I am going to be the one who brings down the greatest agent of this boring world" Rii proclaimed, a wide toothy smile adorning her face, "I am the one who will defeat Uzumaki Naruto, where Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara and even Uchiha Sasuke have failed".

"Release the jutsu now" Sasuke ordered as he turned and began to walk towards Rii. His rinnegan started to manifest, "Or you will find out how painful a true genjutsu can be".

Rii would have been intimidated by Sasuke but that wouldn't help her. All she could do now was wait calmly on her ride to glory.

"I can't undo it now. I couldn't even if I wanted to" she explained, "You either have to kill Hanabi or trust Hinata to make the right decision".

"Sasuke, if the heat rises any further then not even Naruto can last much longer" Sakura explained.

"If my estimations are correct, Maro may not be stable" Shikamaru added, "This slow steady rise in temperature may change. It may start rising explosively. If that is the case this has all been timed perfectly".

"It's tomorrow, isn't it" Kakashi asked knowingly. "The temperature will start rising explosively tomorrow, so that not even Naruto can survive".

A technique this would normally be useless, a gradual build-up in heat before an explosion that could kill anybody. It is essentially a very slow equivalent of the self-destruct technique Deidara used against Sasuke. However, unlike that this version took a very long time before the explosion was ready, in that time anybody could run away. Anybody except Uzumaki Naruto, waiting for Hinata to be cured from a terrible illness. An illness which meant she couldn't be moved.

"Seconds after my genjutsu will end, seconds after Hinata's decision" Rii explained.

"Naruto can escape within seconds if he needs to" Sasuke said.

"But will he? Will he really leave Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.

Kakashi knew the answer. "Of course, he won't". It made him admire Naruto but it wasn't helpful in this situation, if Hinata made the wrong decision both she and Naruto would be lost. It would be because of his own stubbornness and because he loved her.

"Nothing. There is nothing you can do" Rii laughed, "You can only watch as Uzumaki Naruto's life draws to a close and in those last few seconds he will realise the truth. He has failed".

All the shinobi of the leaf could do now is hold on and pray for a miracle. A miracle of Hinata and Naruto's creation.

'Naruto, please, I don't know how you are going to do it but think of something' Sakura begged internally, 'Anything. Don't die in there with Hinata. You need to survive, both of you… please…'.

Tomorrow would be the fateful day.
It was that next day that Naruto and Hinata's destiny was decided upon.
