Hinata had never felt challenged in her life. She put on a stuttering and shy persona too not attract attention. She knew that she was a prodigy that matched Itachi Uchiha himself. So when in her most recent excavation to find materials under Konoha she found people that were matching her level of speed she was shocked.
Flashback
Hinata was walking down the long and dark alleyways of Konoha's underground. She had settled on building a base for her research under Konoha as she knew that no one was their. While Konoha's tunnels were jugs with the help of her Byakugan she had scouted a major portion of the area. She was a prodigy by every definition of the word. Though she decided from a very young age that she would hide this fact from everybody. The reason for this was that man... that fricking bastard of a dad. Her dad Hiashi Hyuga was the head of the Hyuga clan. He had always neglected her no matter what she did so she hid her level of skill in a facade of shyness.
She was cut off from her musings as she felt a presence nearby. As she hid in the shadows she subtlety activated her Byakugan. She peered into the distance seeing a figure running at blinding speeds. "Well it looks like somebody has finally found this place" she mused to herself. As she slipped a Bird mask over her face she quietly waited for the person to come closer. She would wait and try to overhear his intentions before engaging in combat. As the person was approaching the hallway she felt another presence also start approaching from the opposite hallway of the first. She took her mind off that as she deactivated her Byakugan. As she saw the person come into her regular sight she was slightly confused. He looked to be about 5'3, which was a few inches taller than her. Could he be about her age? She continued looking at his appearance deciphering that he should be about her age. He had black hair with a Cat mask and was wearing an Anbu uniform similar to hers. She was cut from her musings a second time that day by him saying "I can sense you". She slowly came out of hiding surprised that he sensed her Chakra. "Who are you and what are you doing in this area"he said with a slight growl to his tone. "I should be asking you the same thing, I mean I always am in this area" Hinata said ready for a fight. She heard him growl as he lunged at her. She got into her modified Gentle Fist that she calls the Flowing Fist. She went to hit an artery in his stomach before jumping back dodging a kick. She quickly made some handsigns while simultaneously activating her Byakugan. She then noticed out of the corner of her eye that the other presence had arrived. She quickly went head to head with the first presences fist before they jumped back. "Come out" she said in a serious voice looking towards the direction of the second figure.
"Look like you caught me"the second figure said in a sing-song voice. I quickly got back in a fighting stance to get ready of here attacked. "Woh calm down I am hear to figure out what you guys are doing in my territory" The second figure said . "Your territory, as if " The first figure replied scoffing. "Now now let's not get to worked up" the second figure said
"Why don't we introduce ourselves"he continued. "I'm Ryu"said the second figure most likely just because of his Dragon mask. "Im Tori" Hinata said deciding to just use her mask to get out of this stupid situation. "I'm Neko" the last guy said. "Now Now why don't you guys tell me what your doing here now" Ryu said accusingly. "It's obviously because all of us decided to settle down in these huge tunnels" Hinata said with a scoff. "This is a waste of my time, as long as you two don't come into my territory I won't kill you" Neko said coldly. Hinata scoffed to herself "as if he could kill me". "Well I am leaving" she heard Neko say as he disappeared. "Well I am leaving to" she said not waiting for a response from Ryu.
She had a feeling she would meet them again.
Flashback End
As Hinata continued running thinking of today's events she felt some memories rush into her head. It looks like her clone that goes to the academy dispelled. Well looks like tomorrow is graduation so I will have to arrive. As she pondered this to herself she saw some big gates in front of her. As she opened the door she was greeted to a white room with test tubes and books putting everywhere appearing with a ladder and hatch near the ceiling. She had discovered this lab the first time that she went down to the underground. It has blood and books everywhere as she discovered it has belonged to the S class missing nin Orochimaru. She had still decided to make it her base of operations. She had started to experiment with the cursed seal and many other things down here. When she first got here she didn't know what was safe and what wasn't but due to the books she was able to figure everything out. Now this place was basically home to her though the man didn't know it he was basically a sensei to Hinata. She was mesmerized by his words even though some of it was messed up even she admits. She had trained here day and night and was strong now.
"Well I guess it's time for me to go get ready for tomorrow".
