Chapter 22: The Growth of Hinata Hyuga
In a open forest space. . .
After the trio had said their goodbyes, Hinata reappeared with Haku as the leaves started to blow through the wind as the two turn to look at each other for a moment before Haku backed away from her by a couple of feet.
Hinata then gulped as she looked at the Ice Style user as though she was feeling an intense pressure in the air. "Haku-san. . ." The Hyuga started.
Haku in response looked at the girl that was to be his student. "That's Haku-sensei, Hinata-san." He started with a serious tone while having the need to resist a chuckle from escaping his lips. "We're gonna be training here for the month for your Chunin Exam finals fights." He then reminded.
Hinata nodded in agreement to that as she knew that her fight might be a difficult one. "Yes, I have no idea what Haruno is going to accomplish during her month of training, so I have to be prepared for it." She replied.
Haku also nodded to that as he thought of the same thing. "Yes, we honestly have no idea what Sakura Haruno is going to do for her training, especially since she has that Curse Mark of hers." He stated.
Hinata then slightly narrowed her eyes as her hand went up and touched the spot where her mate mark was, remembering that it was originally a Curse Mark of her own.
The Ice Style user then looked at the Hyuga intently. "That is why we must maximize your training to get excellent result Hinata-san to prepare yourself for whatever may come." Haku then stated. "The first thing we will to do is make a complex training schedule to organize what needs to be trained and find your strengths and weaknesses." He stated.
"Hai." Hinata responded, understanding the meaning behind what was said.
"Good, now the first part of our training, we must determine your current speed and improve it. However, during this training you will forbidden to use your Byakugan nor the use of your chakra unless I say so. You either dodge or block the senbons as I attack you with them. This will increase your base speed, agility and dodging skills even more." Haku explained.
"Of course, I know that I can't always rely on my natural gift of my Byakugan and I still need to adapt to using my chakra as well." Hinata replied.
"After that will improve your Ninjutsu and increase your arsenal to make it so you be expected to do what is to be expected from anyone." Haku then stated. "You may also practice and train in the Gentle Fist, but you must know remember that you are not just a Hyuga." He soon added.
Hinata nodded as he understood the meaning of those words.
"And finally you'll be able to go home when the day ends to rest, but it is recommended that you train as much as you can." Haku stated as he then recalled something. "You could even try doing it like Naruto by making a shadow clone or a few to get some extra training while you sleep would be a good idea." He then suggested after recalling how the blond trained with him before.
This got Hinata's attention as she haven't really tried this before. "Well maybe I can not that my chakra reserves are now much bigger." She thought to herself as she wonder how many clones can you now do.
Haku could figured that this idea had peaked the Hyuga's interest. "However do not use many as it would do more harm than good from overloading your brain while sleeping." He then warned the girl with a serious tone.
After Hinata had processed all this, she gave a nod of understanding to her new trainer. "Alright, so we should begin?" She asked while giving a determined expression.
Haku nodded as he looked at the girl with a serious expression. "Yes, I will be putting you through the training that Zabuza put me through while I was traveling with him after he found me." He stated then took out some senbons. "Prepared yourself." He then ordered.
Hinata nodded as she got into a stance prepared for quick movements. "Alright Haku-sensei, I'm ready." She replied with her own serious tone. "Naruto-kun. . .Satsuki-chan, wait for me. . ." She meanwhile thought to herself in determination.
Haku nodded as he got ready and brought out senbons on each hand. "Then let us begin." He declared as he threw senbons at Hinata.
In the Hokage Tower. . .
It had been a few hours since Hiruzen had a talk with the newest kunoichi, he had made the proper arrangements for the Nanabi's Jinchūriki as Fū would be staying with the Aburame Clan.
Hiruzen was now looking in his crystal ball at Hinata's training as she dodged the senbon. "Hmm, it seems that Zabuza taught Haku well, he has made a balanced training regimen to work on Hinata's abilities." He thought to himself as he stroke his beard
Then the elderly Hokage let out a sigh as he stopped watching the Hyuga. "No, I can't play favorites, I should let the three of them get stronger without me looking on." He muttered out in a grandfatherly tone as he then continued with daily torture called paperwork.
An hour later. . .
Hinata was panting from the intense worked out with Haku as she realized that it was very hard to dodge the Ice User's incredibly fast senbons without the use of her Kekkei Genkai to see their trajectory and much less dodging them without the use of chakra.
However it was thanks to her improvements as well as her natural grace and agility that Hinata didn't look like a hedgehog of senbons like when she and Satsuki fought him in Nami.
Haku smiled as he threw another set of senbons at the girl. "Good, you seem to going well so far." stated as he watched the girl evade his senbons gracefully.
Hinata meanwhile landed safely to the side, she let out a grunt as she took a senbon out of her arm. "T-Thank you Haku-sensei." She replied as she winced in pain from pulling out the senbon. "Although they really do hurt." She then admitted.
Haku nodded while she found it amusing how she and Naruto complained about his training. "I understand Hinata-san, but remember this, enduring pain is part of growth. Zabuza told me that once." He soon revealed.
Hinata nodded as she sat on the ground from physical exhaustion then chakra exhaustion. "I understand. May I let Kyūbi's chakra I have flow through me again?" She then requested. "It'll help with the healing." She then explained.
"Of course, you rest up for the moment while I get the next part ready." Haku then ordered as he left the area.
After the boy had left, Hinata closed her eyes and took a deep breath while making a hand sign, suddenly felt the Kyūbi's chakra flow through as a small red like aura of chakra covered her body.
When she opened her eyes, her eyes had changed, the color were now light pink instead of lavender and gained slit like pupils. On her skin that were her cuts and punctuations from the stabbings, they started to smoke a little and the wounds healed themselves.
A moment later, the aura disappeared and her eyes returned to normal as well. "Whew. . . all healed." She muttered as she got up and stretched her limbs as she also felt some of her vitality returning as well.
Elsewhere in the forest. . .
Haku was wondering around the forest as he tired to think things through on his own.
"Hmm. . .how can I advance Hinata-san's training further?" Haku thought to himself.
The Ice user's brain then began to think of many possible scenarios of training methods he could used. However he just as quickly discarded most of them as he realized that some of them may not worked on Hinata. He also decided to kept the others that may work in the back of his mind for later uses.
After another few minutes, Haku then snapped his fingers as an idea came to him. "Maybe that could work." He muttered as he headed back.
Back with Hinata. . .
Haku had reappeared and saw that Hinata had fully healed as she made some light stretches. "Hinata-san, I need to head back to the village to pick up some things." He then stated.
The Hyuga stopped her stretches as she turned towards the Ice User. "Alright," Hinata replied as she then finished her stretches. "Now if you'll excuse me, Haku-sensei, I think I'll be practicing my Gentle Kicks style in the meantime, hopefully it may give me more of an edge it the future fights." She then explained her reasoning.
This made Haku nodded in approvement. "Of course, that is an excellent use of your time." He said with approve tone as he then smiled. "Just don't knock yourself out." teasingly said.
Hinata in turn giggled to that. "Of course." She replied.
After Haku had left the training area, Hinata stepped into the middle of the clearing as she entered her Gentle Kicks stance while taking a deep breath to prepare herself.
Hinata stood straight, she put all of her weight on her left leg and placed the right leg directly behind it, almost touching her left leg. The toes on the right foot were the only things touching the ground.
Suddenly, Hinata started her sets. First, the right leg, which was standing limply, shot forward into a side kick. Without stopping, the same foot landed on the ground, and she pivoted on the toes, her left leg curled tightly against her body.
When she finished her 180 degree rotation, her left leg exploded forward in a back kick; the strength behind it would have broken any normal guard. Then, still without stopping, she stood on her hands, and began to turn her body rapidly, while also radiating chakra from her body.
This was Hinata's Gentle Kicks version of the Hyuga clan's Heavenly Rotation attack, also known as Kick Spins.
Then, the Hyuga proceeded to use a simple Chakra Pulse, that would blind any opponent, a split second before pushing off of the ground, and landing with an axe kick that would hit an opponent in the head or the shoulders.
When Hinata landed, she crouched down quickly and performed a 360 degree right leg sweep kick that had a Chakra Pulse that would push an opponent upwards.
As she finished the revolution, she swung her right leg upwards in a large crescent kick, her body twisting in mid-air. When she landed, she was back in her original stance, facing in the same direction.
Hinata took a deep breath as she quickly analyzed any faults she had detected and then made quick adjustments, before she tried once more.
Within Konoha. . .
Haku walked the village, looking for the store to get the supplies for Hinata.
As he walked through, he noticed someone walking into the bookstore where his father got his Icha Icha.
The person was very eye catching as he looked at least six feet tall, he had a handsome face that would make any girl fall for him, unusually reddish eyes, messy locks of crimson hair that went to his shoulders, and wore a black leather jacket, slightly worn jeans, and black boots.
"Who was that?" Haku muttered out loud. "He didn't look like anyone he had seen in the village. . ." He stated with curious and a slight suspicious expression.
The ice user then walked over to the bookstore to investigate and saw the man talking with the attractive glasses wearing female manager, though she had a slightly serious expression. But after the red haired man began flirting with her she began blushing and eventually became love struck to the man.
"A playboy?" Haku got out with a deadpan tone, as his early suspicions completely disappeared and decided to quickly leave as he remembered what he had to do.
Hake soon arrived at the supply store that was for shinobi use only. "Alright then," He muttered as he entered the store.
After a few minutes, the boy eventually found what he was looking for. The object that he was looking at were a tan colored cloth like material that had some pockets in them with a top section that could keep what's inside stay in. On the side of the weights there were small rectangle weights that each had a different weight, despite all being the same shape and size.
Haku smiled as he took the object in his hands. "Training Weights, these will help Hinata-san with her speed." He thought as he took the appropriate sizes for Hinata and bought a set of very heavy weights and quickly headed back to the field. "At one point I'll have to learn how to make the same type of gravity seals this weight have to make my own." He added.
The ice user continued to walked back as he still thought of how to help Hinata with her dizzy problem. "Hmm. . .what should I do to fix that problem?" Haku thought to himself as he began walking back.
Splash!
The sound of water reached Haku's ears, he turned to look and saw some kids playing and laughing in a water fountain, they were flailing their arms in circular manner to try and splash the others. This caused small treads of water to briefly appeared with each splash.
Haku then chuckled as he saw some adults chase off the kids. Suddenly, an idea formed in his head. "That's it! The perfect way to help her training!" He declared.
Not even wanting to wait any longer, the boy rushed back towards the training area and to apply it immediately.
Back at the training ground. . .
Hinata took in another deep breath as she sweating slightly from the repetitive movements from the complex movements of her spin kicks.
"Without chakra to enhance my muscles, I am getting tired really quickly. . ."Hinata analysed as she made plans of more effective ways of using her kicks thanks to this.
Hinata made the decision to also train her Gentle Kick style without using chakra as well, because she also wanted to improve her speed of her kicks as well; that way, when she enhanced herself with chakra, her kicks would be nigh-unseeable by the new speeds.
Suddenly Haku appeared in the clearing with a bag in hand. "Welcome back Haku-sensei." Hinata greeted the ice user as she stopped her training.
"Hello, Hinata-san. Working hard?" Haku asked as he notice the minor exhaustion in the girl's face.
"Yes, Haku-sensei." Hinata replied with a nod while cleaning the sweat on her forehead and then she looked at the bag he was carrying. "Hm? What are those?" She soon asked with a curious tone.
"These are training weights. They are about 38 kilograms, and will improve your strength and speed." Haku explained.
Hinata in turn tilted her head in innocent confusion to that. "Weights? What for?" She then asked once more, not in a complaining manner but out of curiosity.
Instead of answering first, Haku pointed at Hinata's legs much to her confusion. "Because we'll be using them to train your legs." He stated.
The Hyuga then blinked a couple of times to that. "Not that I'm against it, but may I asked; why would that be important?" Hinata asked with a confused tone.
"Because your legs are an important part for any shinobi that focus on any form of Taijutsu." Haku began to the explain.
This statement only serve to confuse Hinata even more further.
"Now don't get me wrong, your arms are important as we used them most of the time to attack, however the strength of your legs is vital for any taijutsu styles, as any hand to hand combat relied on balance, speed, strength and the flexibility of your legs to be able fight efficiently and effectively." Haku then added.
Hinata soon enough had an amazed expression on her face, feeling enlightened by this information as she then smiled and accepted the weights for her training. "Thank you for explaining this to me, Haku-sensei." She expressed her gratitude.
Haku in turn smiled to that. "You're very welcome." He replied before gaining a serious expression. "I also have another thing, but first I need to ask, does performing the Heavenly Rotation still make you feel dizzy?" He then asked.
Hinata frowned at the odd question, before answering hesitatingly, "Err. . .yes, it still does make me dizzy." She replied with a hint of annoyance and embarrassment for such a nunsense of a problem. "Why such a question?" She then asked.
"Well, I have an idea." Haku stated as he let out a chuckle. "And the amusing thing was that I a couple of misfited children were the one that helped me think of it. What is it that misfits children always having the answer." He thought to himself with an amused tone as a certain blond misfit came to mind.
"Eh?" Hinata got out in confusion.
This made the ice user to look back at his student. "During our training session, I noticed that you were very flexible." Haku started with a pensive expression.
"EH!?" Hinata got out in a more panicked tone.
Haku then noticed the Hyuga blushing for some reason. "Is something wrong?" He questioned.
"F-Flexible!?" Hinata stammered out in an embarrassed tone.
This made the ice user let out a long sigh of annoyance as he realized what that meant. "Not that way!" He quickly stated; he didn't want to give her the wrong idea, and he didn't want a certain blond coming after him. "All I'm saying is that maybe you could use that natural flexibility to perform a different version of the Heavenly Rotation." He then explained.
This change Hinata's expression from embarrassed to one of confusion. "Huh?" She once got out.
"Since it's difficult for you to use the standard version of you clan jutsu and your kick version makes you dizzy after a few uses." The Ice User began to explain. "Maybe you could move your arms in a way in substitution for the previous to protect and attack at the same time." Haku suggested.
To hearing that, the Hyuga placed a hand on her chin as she began to think about it. "Hmmm. . . I'll have to think about that, Haku-sensei." Hinata replied.
Haku then looked at the Hyuga as he brought the weights up to her. "Ah, yes. Before I had forgotten. . ." He got out as he handed the bag. "Here you go!" He simply said as he gave her the weights.
Hinata was gotten out of her thoughts by this. "Thank you Haku-sensei." She replied with a smile. Then with Haku's help, Hinata managed to get them on her arms and legs while he activated the seals. However. . .There was only one little problem. . . "Umm, Haku-sensei. . ." She soon started.
Haku simply stood up as he put on an innocent look. "Hmm? What is it, Hinata?" He asked with a fake confusion.
Instantly, Hinata gained a tick mark at her sensei's antics as her hands and legs were shaking, feeling as they were encased of concrete, signified that they were at max in their weight limit. "You do realize that I can't move my arms or legs, right?" She questioned while trying to stay calm.
"Umm~I wasn't aware of that, well I have to go now. Be sure to not remove them until your finish training." Haku ordered with a fake smile as he slowly began edging away, before sprinting out of the forest as she released a large amount of killing intent and Kyūbi's chakra, scaring him.
"HAAAAAAAAAAKUUUUUUUU!" Hinata yelled out as she began to run with Kyūbi's chakra, but her attempt at catching the Ice user and strangling him was stopped.
However as she tried to chase him, Hinata forgot about the weights for the moment, making her entire center of gravity to move forward; the end result was her falling on her face.
"Oww. . ." Hinata got out as she slowly and with much struggle, tried to get back up. "I'll get you for this dattebahi!" She declared before she went wide-eyed for a moment. "Oh, I sounded like Naruto-kun there." She thought to herself as she then giggled, realizing who she just sounded like for the moment.
A few days later. . .
Taking the advice to heart after the training ended, it took Hinata a few days for her struggling to move with the weights on both arms and legs. It would had taken less if she had used chakra, however she knew doing so wouldn't improve much.
Once the Hyuga girl finally got used to the weights, more or less, she was now struggling a low phase run through the village, all the while panting as she ponder at the thought of Haku's suggestion.
"Using my arms to protect and attack at the same time. . ." Hinata got out as she then tried to imagine it in her mind.
The young girl began to see herself standing in one place as many enemies surrounding her. When they attacked, she then started doing a normal spin using the normal Rotation and knocking them away from her..
"The normal rotation is good for attack and defense by creating a 360 degree around while sensing chakra from all most of the tenketsu in our bodies, that way us Hyuga's can hide the Byakugan's weak point. . .however it's still too difficult for me to do it in the traditional sense." Hinata thought to herself and began to imagine the same scenario.
Now when the enemies tried to attack her, she struck at them using the Kick Spins, sending them back around the same distance.
"While using me kick version is much easier, it still causes me to be constantly move center of gravity, which cause me to feel dizzy. While it's simply a matter of getting used to the sensation, it won't make up for the lack of offence and defensive as a standard rotation." Hinata then analyzed finding it harder and harder to find a solution.
Hinata had to stop her running to a slow walk as she then leaned on a wall to try and catch her breath. As she panted, the Hyuga began to realize that both of the issues of both jutsus. Finding it more and more difficult how to used her arms like Haku had suggested.
After finally catching up her breath, Hinata continued her jog for training. As she continued, the corner of her eye, the girl saw another one of the finalists, Rock Lee, with a recognizable girl who had long black hair that went down to her the back of her knees while being tied in a low ponytail with a purple bow.
"Isn't that. . .Neji-niisan's teammate. . ." Hinata wondered in confusion as she noticed the lack of the Oto headband on the girl's forehead. "But wait, isn't that girl is one of the Oto genin that attacked us? Why would he be hanging out with her?" She thought to herself with suspicion and concern for the older boy that had helped her and her teammates.
With the duo in question. . .
Lee was walking alongside the Oto genin, better known as Kin as she had asked the boy to hang out with her, when he had free time from his training for the finals with Gai-sensei's approval.
The girl was in a separate room from Zaku as they both recovered from their matches. She did feel a little sick when she heard that Dosu had died, but it passed through as they never were close to begin with.
As Kin walked alongside Lee, she began to recalled the last time Lee had visited her in the hospital.
Flashback No Jutsu!
Kin was laying on the hospital bed 2 days after she was resting and recovering from her concussion, as the doctors wanted to make sure she made a full recovery before letting her leave the hospital. Though the girl herself was much calmer and down to earth then before her concussion, so she didn't mind it much.
"Good morning Kin-chan!" Lee politely greeted with a salute as he entered the girl's room.
Said girl meanwhile gave off a smile in return. "Same to you Lee-kun." She replied.
The girl was at first startled and baffled by the fact that the green spandex wearing genin had came to visit her the first day she had regained consciousness, after all her team did tried to kill him. But oddly enough, the boy was always being polite to her and treated her like a girl unlike her teammates.
However when she voiced these concerns, Lee simply waved them off while stating that it was part of the test, so he didn't hold it against her. After a few hours of just talking, Kin slowly began to open up to the boy and saw that he was just sincerely concern for her well being.
"So Lee-kun, how's your training coming along?" Kin then asked as she watched the boy coming over and sitting to her side.
To that question, Lee gained a fire in his eyes. "SPLENDID!" He declared. "I WILL SOON BE ABLE TO SHOW MY FLAMES OF YOUTH TO EVERYONE!" He then added to his declaration.
Kin in turn simply giggled a bit as she only needed one day to get used to the boy's enthusiasm for the word youth. "Good luck Lee-kun I'm sure you'll do great." She encouraged.
Kai!
As the two continued their walk while they had a friendly talk, well mostly Lee declaring loudly and while Kin simply agreeing while a giggle would escape her lips every once and awhile.
Eventually Kin then began to remember the day she was released from the hospital.
Flashback No Jutsu! Part 2!
After Kin having one last full medical checked by the medical shinobi's, the doctor let out a nod.
A doctor was looking at his notepad intently before he then looked at the girl. "Well looks like there isn't anything wrong now." The doctor declared with satisfaction in his tone.
"So does that mean I can be released not?" Kin asked the doctor.
The doctor then looked at his notes and took a pensive expression. "Hmm. . .I don't see why not." He replied with confirming all of the test. "However, to be on the safe side, I do have to recommend not to exerd yourself for a few more days." He then ordered with a serious tone.
The girl in turn nodded to that, understanding the reason behind what he said. "Ok." Kin replied in a calm manner.
Satisfied with the answer, the doctor then left the room to attend the next patient.
Kin meanwhile sighed as she got out of the bed and stretched her limbs while in the hospital gown. "Mmmm. . .I can finally stand again. . ." She got out in relief before she took off her gown and got on her normal shinobi uniform.
However just as Kin had placed most of it and tied her long hair in a long ponytail by the purple bow, she looked down at the last piece of her outfit. . .her Oto headband protector. "Mmm. . ." She got out with a shaky hand, wondering if she should even bother to place it on her head.
"That snake. . ." Kin began to think as she could feel the violent impulse to throw up at the mere thought of him. "We were only tools for him. . ." She then added in disdain.
SLAM!
The sound of the slide door slamming wide open echoed throughout the hospital room.
"GOOD MORNING KIN-CHAN!" Lee happily declared as he entered the room with a salute.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kin let out a the most girlish scream from both the sound and the greeting from the ever energetic boy.
Soon there was a long moment of quiet as the two didn't moved an inch. Lee because of the startling scream, while Kin immediately jerked her head around and blushed madly from letting out said scream as she then unintentionally went and threw the Oto headband at the boy.
"ITA!" Lee got out as he was still momentarily stun by the scream that he completely stood there as the headband struck him square on his forehead, no pun intended as it sent him to the ground.
"There a thing called knocking Lee-kun!" Kin declared with immense embarrassment before actually seeing what happened to the boy. "AH! LEE-KUN! I-I'M SORRY!" She soon exclaimed with flailing arms.
"No no! I deserve this as it was indeed unyouthful of me to not knock at ladies door! As punishment let me ran around Konoha with nothing but my fingertips!" Lee declared as he was still laying on the floor.
Kin was left baffled at the declaration, as doing such a thing was murder for the fingertips. "L-Lee-kun, that really isn't necessary." She got out.
In an instant, Lee did a front jump to land on his feet and raised his fist with passion. "But I must! If I don't I will shame your honor for not knocking!" He declared with a fiery eyes.
Kin nearly face faulted to that declaration he said he was gonna do as she looked at the boy."H-How about you just come with me to hang out? I never really got a tour of Konoha since I was only here for the Chunin Exams." She then offered.
Now it was Lee's turn to be slightly baffled. "Are you sure that it will suffice? After all I soiled your honor!" He then declared.
Kin could only sweatdropped at that. "If he acts like this for just not knocking, how would he react if I was still in the middle of changing. . ." She thought to herself as she then nodded. "Of course and you didn't soil anything Lee-kun." She replied in a slightly joking manner.
Lee in turn took a thinking pose and after a a few moments he smiled and nodded. "Yosh! Very well! If this will cleanse your honor than I will give you the most youthful tour ever!" He declared with passion.
Kin meanwhile looked on at the boy as a blush appeared on her face. "Man he's cute." She thought in smitten tone.
Kai!
Lee meanwhile was being a gentleman as he gave the girl he was with a tour of the village, though he couldn't help but to give a tour. . .in a youthful way.
The boy decided to expand his horizons when he had realized that their was he shouldn't declared his love at first like he did with his former crush, Sakura Haruno.
Lee decided to change his ways by first taking it slow and get to know the girl instead of declaring his love just based on looks. After he saw how the the green/pink haired girl really was, he quickly left go of the crush.
Then Lee thought back to a previous event with the green and pink haired girl before encountering Team Seven.
Flashback No Jutsu! Part 3!
Team Nine dashed towards the forest as they continued to searched for the other scroll they needed. After a few hours, they all decided to rest a bit.
However Lee didn't felt the need to as he did quick and heavy training session before he grabbed many leaf on each hand. "YOSH! IF I CAN GATHER ALL THE LEAVES BEFORE THEY FALL TO THE GROUND, I WILL ASK SAKURA-CHAN ON A DATE!" Lee declared as he watched a bundle of leaves fall.
"Lee, what are you doing?" Tenten questioned from the ground with her hands on her hips.
"I AM TRAINING! EVEN THOUGH WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TEST, WE MUST KEEP OUR YOUTHFUL MINDS ACTIVE AND OUR BODIES READY FOR BATTLE!" Lee soon declared with passion.
Neji however sighed in annoyance to this declaration. "Ridiculous. . ." He muttered.
Lee meanwhile had a fire in his eyes as then launched himself towards the falling leaves. "HAAAAAA!" He roared in excitement as he grabbed the first leaf.
"Come on Sakura, we'll never make it to the tower at this rate!" A slightly feral voice called out in the distance.
"Arf!" The sound of a dog barked out in agreement.
"As mush as it might surprise you, Kiba and Akamaru are right." A calm yet stern voice stated.
"Yeah yeah! Jeez you guys are annoying!" A female voice replied in annoyance.
At the sound of that voice, Lee's full attention was at this as he instantly recognized the voice. "That voice! It has to be my angel!" He thought with immense happiness.
"Lee?" Tenten simply asked with a confused tone at seeing the reaction.
Not even bothering to replied, Lee charged straight at the sound of the girl's voice, not even realizing that a single leaf had touched the forest ground.
"LEE!" His teammates shouted in annoyance as they quickly run after him.
However their teammate was to fast for them as they quickly left them behind. "HOLD ON!" Lee then called out in determination.
"Huh!?" Kiba and Sakura replied in confused unison.
"Hmm?" Shino got out in a calm manner.
Lee soon stopped in front of the group while being on a branch with the other three on another branch. "You are. . .Sakura Haruno correct?" He questioned.
The girl in question was to shocked by the sudden appearance that she could only nod in confirmation while Kiba too was more so baffled by the boy's appearance and Shino was easily tell that Lee wasn't here to fight, however he was still in a stance, ready to fight it need be.
Lee thought that Sakura was left speechless with his manliness as he pointed a thumb at himself. "I am known as the Green Beast of Konoha, Rock Lee." He introduced as his teeth flashed in a show of manliness.
". . .Huh?" Sakura then got out.
Lee then gained a small blush as he then looked at the girl. "Please Sakura-san, let me be your boyfriend, I promise to protect you from all dangers!" He then declared.
Sakura finally got over her initial shocked as her face turn into pure disgust at multiple things. "EWW!" She roared with disgust.
"Eh? S-Sakura-san?" Lee then got out in confusion.
SLAM!
Lee was suddenly sent crashing to the ground after being slapped with all of the girl's strength she could mustered as he was left stunned by the hit.
"Don't treat me so casually you caterpillar eyed freak! Like hell I would even think of ever dating a freak like you!" Sakura declared with pure disgust.
"My heart belongs only to Sasuke-kun!" Inner Sakura declared with equally disgusted tone.
Sakura soon turned away from the boy. "Come on Shino, Kiba!" She then ordered in annoyance.
Said duo meanwhile sighed or groaned in annoyance to that as Sakura left the area. Sure they would had tried to fight him in hopes that he had the scroll they needed, but they both felt bad for the boy that they just decided to leave him out of sympathy.
The now heartbroken Lee laid on the ground with a red slap mark on his face as he looked at the sky. "What went wrong?" He then asked. "I thought girls like polite men." He then added.
Then soon enough, both of Lee's teammates arrived and saw the depressed boy laying on the ground. Tenten tried to ask what had happened, only for the boy dramatically said that he flew too close to the sun and his wings of wax melted and fell to his doom. To which confused both of his teammates beyond understanding.
Kai!
Lee soon let out a sigh while he rubbed his cheek from where he was slapped at remembering that time, chuckling sadly as he still felt the phantom pain from the slap.
Kin meanwhile turned her head slightly as she heard the boy chuckling. "Something funny Lee-kun?" She soon asked.
Lee immediately looked back at the girl he was currently giving a tour to and smiled cheerfully once more. "It is nothing my friend, now let us continue our tour!" He replied.
Kin shrugged her shoulders as she walked beside him.
Back with Hinata. . .
The Hyuga continued to look on curiously for a few more moments before she let out a sigh. "I better not continued this. . .I would've want to be compared with Ino." She thought as she decided to leave the two alone while she headed home, the Hyuga Compound to rest for the night.
As Hinata continued walking home, her mind continued to keep thinking of Haku's suggestion and how she could find a way to have her new technique have both the offensive and offensive power of the rotation while not being as difficult to master like her gentle kicks.
As Hinata arrived at the compound, she then let out a cute yawn. "I'm exhausted. . ." She muttered out while sleepily rubbing one of her eyes as she took a bath to clean herself and then headed straight to bed.
A week before the finals. . .
The days continued to go on as Hinata slowly got used to the weights on her arms and legs.
After the third week, she finally got used to them, until Haku decided to add some more weights to her legs, giving her a total of an extra 50 kilograms to each of her legs. The training was rough, but she did get through it efficiently.
During this week's of intense training, what was truly the most important for the female Hyuga was that she was slowly reaching a solution for her version of Rotation.
Hinata for the most part had a concept of the jutsu, she had realized that while Rotation has a good chakra control to used many of the tenketsu of her body, it also requires to expel it in large amounts, something Hinata wasn't used to at the moment. So she theories that her new jutsu must not only have fine chakra control, but also making it much thinner and sharper, that way it will fit her body better.
"That's well and good as a theory, however I still haven't thought of the finished product. . ." Hinata thought with concern as she then shook her worries away. "However I will finish it by the finals." She then thought in determination.
However as Hinata thought of this, she also had to deal with other annoying situations, such as dealing with the Hyuga elders, mostly them asking about her training, but she always told them the same thing. "You will just have to see at the finals." She would simply replied with complete dismissal.
This, of course, angered the elders, leaving them muttering amongst themselves at how stubborn and disrespectful she was becoming.
Haku seemed to enjoy what he was doing as he felt a little like his first adopted father who trained him, he just decided to make Hinata's training more difficult for maximum result. His schedule was as followed:
4:00 AM- Wake up Hinata.
4:30 AM- Have a small breakfast.
5:00 AM- Work off the breakfast with a sparring match.
6:45 AM- Meditation, to keep a steady concentration for chakra flow.
9:00 AM- A break to relax the body.
10:00 AM- Hinata practicing her Gentle Kicks, with Haku helping every once in awhile.
11:00 AM- Another meditation session.
12:00 PM- Lunch.
1:45 PM- One last sparring match with a small analysis of skills.
3:00 PM- End session.
All in all, Hinata's training was difficult, but she made it through and even though she didn't realize it, Haku also got training from it as well. He always had a low chakra pool and endurance, so when Hinata came along, with her insane chakra levels and stamina, he inevitably got stronger, not just his trainee.
The fourth day before the finals. . .
"Hinata, come here." Haku ordered as he then went into his pocket.
"Hai." Hinata simply replied as she stood straight.
Haku then looked at the determined girl as he pulled out what was in his pocket. "Now that you finally mastered your version of Rotation, I feel that you should now focus your own elemental affinity. " He then stated in a calm matter as he then showed the paper.
"Eh? Are you sure? We only have a few days left." Hinata then reminded, slightly confused to this.
"True we may not have enough time to master it, it's always good to have something extra." Haku declared as he handed the paper. "Father already explained the purpose of these at the beginning of the month before his departure with Satsuki-san, so please applied chakra to it now." He then stated.
Hinata in response nodded as she took the paper into her hands and began to apply some chakra. "Now lets see what I am. . ." She thought in both determination and excitement.
Suddenly, the chakra paper reacted instantly shocking Haku greatly. The paper just barely crinkle a bit at a corner, before it then slightly burned and finally it became completely soaked so that water began to leak in a large amount.
Haku's eyes also widen to the results of the paper. "Incredible. . .you have such a high water affinity that if makes what I have looked small, even with my blood line." He got out with a stunned expression.
"Hmm, I was always told that shinobis of Konoha usually have a decent size fire chakra nature." Hinata admitted in amazement.
Haku in turn nodded to that. "True and the only shinobi to have such a high affinity with water was the Second Hokage himself in all of the Land of Fire." He then stated. "Usually those with high water affinities would normally apply those from the Land of Water and Kiri, even then this even surpassed anything I ever seen." He then added as he then began to think of the possibilities. "Maybe even she could. . ." He thought to himself.
"Wow. . ." Hinata got out in amazement at having an element not usually common in Konoha. "Just like Naruto-kun's Wind Style and Satsuki-chan's Lightning Style. . ." She then added with amazement.
However on the inside, she was very happy at this revelation as this would give her an edge to be able to keep up with those two and stand by their side with pride.
"Not only that, but it looks like you have an average fire affinity like Satsuki-san's, nothing impressive but it is still something." Haku then stated as he examined the dampened edge of the paper that was burnt.
Hinata in turn nodded in agreement to that. "So what will we train now Haku-sensei." She then asked with a hint of excitement at the new training.
Haku in turn stared at the girl with a serious expression. "Hinata-san, for the rest of time we have left will be focusing on your water ninjutsu. We can't let this opportunity slide because with this discovery alongside your new jutsu maybe your ace in the hole." He declared with a smile as this will open new possibilities for his student. "That and I only know water jutsus. . ." He added in his mind with a hint of embarrassment and a sweatdrop.
"Hai." Hinata replied, understanding that this was necessary.
"Also. . ." Haku began with a big smile on his face. "I think you'll be able to do a certain chakra control skill that would normally I could do thanks to my Kekkei Genkai, but with your affinity with water, you may be able to do it." He declared as he too was excited to pass on this little secret to the Hyuga.
The last days before the finals. . .
Hinata wiped the sweat off her head as she and Haku finished their last spar for the day. There were only three days left before the finals, and she couldn't wait.
The three members of Team Seven made a pact not to contact each other during the time, and Hinata was excited to see her fiancé and best friend again. She was also surprised that Kyūbi didn't said anything perverted to her the entire time, but she just she was actually thankful for that anyways.
Hinata's water style training had improved ridiculously quick as she was literally like a fish in water, no pun intended. As she easily master most of the D and C rank justus that the Ice User had thought for her and used them with ease and with great elegance. She also learn some B ranks, however she still needed more practice with them. Still Hinata was well on her way to be just as great as the Second Hokage as the best water user in Konoha.
Haku meanwhile watched on as the Hyuga practiced her new moves one last time. He smiled as he watched her executed it perfectly, even with the weights on. "She's ready." He muttered with pride in his voice. Putting his fingers to his lips, he whistled, drawing her attention. "Alright Hinata-san, bring it in." He then called out.
Hinata approached her sensei, curious as to what he called her over for.
Haku in turn just smiled. "Well. . . I feel that now you are more than ready to partake in the Chunin Exam Finals." He declared with pride before he let out a chuckle. "In fact I can say that your more then ready to being a Chunin now." He added with a half joke and half serious tone.
Hinata just stared in shock, before jumping up and down in excitement. "Hai! I'll do my best dattebahi!" She loudly and excitedly declared before falling to earth and giggling to herself at who she just sounded like. "Naruto-kun, Satsuki-chan, wait till you see me now!" She then thought in excitement.
Haku chuckled as he looked at the Hyuga having a small giggling fit. "You seem excited." He jokingly remarked.
Hinata blushed a little as she looked at her sensei. "Y-Yes, I think after being on the same team as Naruto-kun, I got a little of his personality dattebahi." She replied. "Though it was because of our bond that it made it that way." She added in her mind.
Haku merely looked on the girl with a sweatdrop running down his forehead. "Some of his personality?" He thought with a deadpan tone.
Hinata then stood back up while she dusted herself off. "So now what Haku-sensei? Since I'm done with training, what should I do now?" She soon asked with some curiosity.
Haku took a thinking pose for a moment before looking at the Hyuga once more. "Now you are to take a break for the remaining days before the finals. As this will be the period where you'll rest your body so that you'll be ready for your match." He explained.
"Thank you so much for all of your training, you have given me Haku-sensei." Hinata thanked with a grateful tone.
Said Ice User smiled at the her students as he returned the bow with his own as Hinata headed back to the village.
Once Hinata was out of sight, Haku smiled once more with pride. "Good luck. . .Hinata Hyuga. . ." He thought in determination as he made a handsign and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
Within Konoha. . .
Hinata was walking through the village, wondering what to do, she now had the rest of remaining days to herself. However she didn't know how to spend it.
"Hmm. . ." Hinata hummed out in concern as she wandered through the village. "What should I do now?" She then asked herself.
As the Hyuga was thinking to herself, she soon felt hate filled stares coming towards her, mostly because of her association with a certain blond then anything as they wouldn't dare harm the daughter of Hiashi.
However thanks to Hinata's calm composure, she didn't show how annoyed she actually was. "Jeez, so this is what Naruto-kun has to deal with. . ." She thought to herself.
Then the Hyuga continued to walk as an idea came to her mind. "I should probably visit Ino-san; she must be bored out of her mind." Hinata thought with a chuckle and with that, she headed straight towards the hospital, not wanting to subject her friend to that hell called boredom.
At the Hospital. . .
Hinata soon entered the hospital while walking straight towards the receptionist. "Excuse me, but where is Ino Yamanaka's room?" Hinata asked politely.
"Ino Yamanaka? Let's see. . ." The receptionist started as she looked at the records until she found the girl "She's in Room 317." She answered while she pointed down the hallway.
"Thank you." Hinata replied while giving a bow as she walked down the hall and looked for Ino's room.
It too a few moments, but Hinata eventually found Room 317. "I hope Ino-san's doing alright." She thought to herself before feeling a shivering down her spine. "Hmm? What was that?" She then thought to herself.
Hinata turned to looked down the hall but didn't see anything. She would have tried using her Byakugan, but knew that would be rude. So when she didn't saw anything with her own eyes, the girl just let out a sigh.
"It must've been my imagination. . ." Hinata muttered to herself.
When Hinata entered the room, she saw Ino looking out the window. Her hair was in a single bun as it was held by an orange bandanna. "Hmm?" Ino got out as she turned to see the Hyuga and smiled. "Hey Hinata, long time no see!" She happily greeted.
Hinata in response giggled as she went over to the blonde. "It's good to see you too Ino-san." She politely replied. "I guess you've been bored being stuck here in the hospital, huh?" She then jokingly asked, though the answer was obvious as more giggles came out of her mouth.
Ino sighed as she grabbed her pillow and throw it at the Hyuga as she gracefully dodged it, this caused the two of them to start giggling. "Hell yeah it's been boring! I've been stuck in this room for a month with completely nothing to do! I think my dad had a word with the doctors to not let me out until I've fully healed. It's just like him to do that!" She whined in an over exaggerated way.
Hinata could only giggled some more to the blonde's dilemma.
Ino then looked at the bluenette. "So Hinata, how has your training been?" She then asked with a curious tone.
Hinata regained her focus as she looked back at Ino. "It's been fine, the training was exhausting, but I made it through pretty good." She replied with humility.
Ino nodded in response to that before she then gave off a sly look. "And what about you, Naruto and Satsuki-chan? Had any good times together?" She asked with a witty grin.
Hinata blushed knowing what she meant. "N-No, I haven seen Satsuki-chan has been training with Kakashi-sensei and Naruto-kun has been training on his own." She replied with a bit of embarrassment in her tone.
"Oh ho, are you sure about that Hinata-chan?" Ino then teasingly asked.
The Hyuga nodded to that as she gave a smile. "We all made the promise to train by ourselves so when we meet up again, we can improve our teamwork with new moves." She explained quickly and flushed as she then remembered her time with Naruto before the preliminaries.
Flashback no jutsu!
Hinata and Naruto were back at the Uzumaki/Uchiha's apartment after a trip to Ichiraku while Sasuke told them he was gonna go as he said he need to train and have some time to himself for a bit. Though the smirk on his face said otherwise.
When Hinata thought back of that moment, she immediately knew what that smirk meant. Soon enough she began taking a cold shower to try and calm herself down as she washed herself off from the day's activities.
As Hinata finished washing herself, she looked at the mirror and saw that the blush on her face was still present. "Naruto-kun. . .you already had your time with Satsuki-chan. . ." She soon thought to herself while her blush darken even more. She then took in a deep breath as she then turned off the water and grabbed a towel.
Meanwhile, Naruto laid on the couch in exhaustion as he looked at the ceiling. "Man~ I'm tired dattebayo. . ." He got out with a large yawn escaping his mouth.
Hinata then looked towards the door outside the bathroom as she nodded. "Now. . .it's my turn." She soon muttered after finishing drying herself off, all the while ignoring the Kyūbi's perverted chuckling.
At the same time, Naruto continued to look at the ceiling before sighing. "So much has changed. . ." He muttered to himself with a small smile on his face, while he didn't plan almost any of it, he still wouldn't have changed any of it.
Suddenly, the blond heard the Kyūbi's perverted chuckle which made any good feeling disappeared and replaced it with annoyance. "Now what?" He thought with an exasperated expression on his face.
Naruto's ears soon caught the sounds of tiny footsteps as he stopped looking at the ceiling, knowing who it was from. "Hey Hinata-chan, enjoy the. . .shower. . ." He started to ask but stopped talking after he saw the Hyuga.
"H-Hai, I finished washing myself off Naruto-kun." Hinata stammered out, completely understanding the reason why the blond had stopped talking and was now blushing like she was.
What left the blond speechless was Hinata with only a bath towel towel that showed off her still growing cleavage. "H-Hinata-chan. . ." He got out. "W-Wow. . .y-you look. . .great. . ." He admitted fighting off a blush and a massive nosebleed. "Beautiful even. . ." He then added.
Hinata blushed herself as she smiled at her's and the Uchiha Heiress's fiancé. "T-Thank you Naruto-kun." She shyly replied as she then walked over to him. "S-So, what were you just thinking about?" She soon meekly asked in concern as she sat beside him on the couch.
At the comment and question, Naruto calmed down and chuckled as he wrapped a hand around the Hyuga's towel covered waist. "I was just thinking about how much things have changed." He answered as he looked at the girl while not look too closely.
Then the blond closed his eyes and thought back at what had happened so far. "I mean, me learning about Satsuki-chan, having you in our team, beating Gatō while saving Nami and even what happen to the two of you during in the Forest of Death. . .So much has happened to us." He briefly listed with a small chuckle.
Hinata smiled prettily as talking to the boy she loved like this helped her calm down as then she leaned her head into his shoulder. "I know. . .It was a dream come true for me when you and I became teammates, then friends when I learned about Satsuki-chan, then the three of us became your lovers, and now. . .we're engaged." She listed off before she then turned to the blond and pecked him on the lips.
Naruto enjoyed the quick kiss as she saw him smile in a goofy manner.
"And I'm happy to be with you." Hinata soon declared with a small happy smile as she then moved on top of the blond's lap and hugged him, pressing her breasts to the boy's chest.
Naruto immediately blushed as he felt the set of soft breasts against his chest. "H-Hinata-chan!" He got out.
Hinata's smile didn't leave her face as she looked at the boy. "Satsuki-chan also told me she told you. That I've been in love with you for a long time." She soon suddenly revealed.
To hearing that, Naruto winced for a moment before nodding. "Yeah. . ." He started in a guilty tone. "I. . .I used to be so obsessed over Haruno that I almost completely ignored one of the most beautiful and kindest girls I have ever known." He admitted with a sincere voice as he wrap his arms around the Hyuga in a tight embrace. "Hinata-chan. . .I. . .I'm sorry, I ignored you all this time. . ." He then apologized as he held the girl close to him.
Hinata was left speechless for a moment before she smiled and pecked him on the lips once more. "Naruto-kun, it's alright." She responded in a soft tone as she felt her towel slide off a bit, quickly catching and adjusting it.
"But-" Naruto tried to say but the Hyuga then placed a finger on his lips to stop him.
"I forgave you a long time ago. I had already loved you so much that I was able to wait and I understand why you couldn't figure it out." Hinata responded and confessed with a small smile as she then got up. "But now, I'm finally happy you know and accepted me." She revealed with a slight sensual tone in her voice as she then headed for the bedroom.
To that, Naruto became stunned and speechless, unsure of what to say next until. . .
"Kit. . .there's a time and place to act like an alpha. . ." Kyūbi suddenly began to say with a serious tone. "AND THIS IS THE TIME! FOLLOW HER! FOLLOW HER NOW!" He practically screamed out in the blond's head. "And do tell me how it goes." He added with a perverted tone before quickly cutting off the link.
Naruto was left both annoyed yet embarrassed by the Bijū's words, but took in a deep breath upon hearing that. "Oh man. . ." He got out as he gulped before cleaning a nosebleed.
The boy soon got up from the couch and headed to the bedroom and as he opened the door, he saw the Hyuga sitting on the bedside while she smiled at him. "Naruto-kun. . ." The girl meekly got out.
Naruto then looked at the girl as he walked forward. "Hinata-chan. . ." He muttered.
Hinata's smile didn't leave her face as she nodded. "Naruto-kun. . ." She responded once more while she watched the blond lean on the bed before she kissed him again, now adding her tongue, causing them both to moan in pleasure. "Naruto-kun. . ." She then mumbled out yet again.
"Hinata-chan. . ." Naruto replied as he crawled on top of her, only his top and boxers was the remaining clothing he had on as he then kissed her again, while it was his turn to insert his tongue into her.
After a few moments of intense deep kissing, the two separated from the lack of oxygen. "Beautiful." Was all the boy could think of seeing the girl. "You're definitely Kami's gift of beauty." He then admitted.
Hinata was still panting from the intense make out session, but she still smiled contently at the blond. "Thank you. . .Naruto-kun." She managed to breathe out.
Naruto's inner male urges soon began to feel a sense of satisfaction as he went up as he kissed her on the lips again and then placed his chin on her shoulder.
Hinata meanwhile still held her towel as the boy she loved did what he did while letting out a small moan. "It feel. . .so nice. . ." She quietly confessed.
"I bet it does Hinata-chan." Naruto cooly whispered into the girl's ear, the wind tickling her and made her gasp again. "I'll do anything to make the ones I love happy. . ." He then whispered his declaration, soon gulping from urges, but still decided to keep it together since they were still underage. "Because Hinata-chan. . ." He then started while looking at her. "I love you. . ." He declared.
"I love you too. . .my love. . ." Hinata replied with a love filled tone.
And then with one more gentle kiss, the two young lovers continued their make-out session.
After a few more minutes, the two laid there on the bed while they panted heavily for a few seconds. "That. . .was incredible. . ." Naruto breathed out.
Hinata too was panting, but in a more controlled manner as she smiled and nodded in agreement. Then she weakly leaned towards the blond as she cuddled up to her love's chest, no longer focusing on holding the towel. "It was. . .thank you Naruto-kun." She then started to purr in happiness.
"HALLELUYAH!" Kyūbi roared out, but was ignored.
The two then drifted into sleep, not hearing some familiar giggling coming from outside the room.
Kai!
"Hinata? Hinata?" Ino called out as she looked at the completely dazed girl, which said girl was blushing madly, before getting a sly and witty smile on her face. "Oh Hinata-chan, remembering something ecchi?" The platinum blond teased as a shit eating smirk appeared on her face.
To hearing that, Hinata quickly shook herself out of her very lewd thought as her face turned completely crimson. "N-N-No! I-I never did anything ecchi! I-I swear!" She declared in a panic while flailing her arms.
Ino in turn giggled to that at the poor and useless attempt of lying, but the girl decided to give the Hyuga girl a break. "I never seen you so open like is Hinata-chan, it's way different from the academy days." She then admitted.
This calmed down the Hyuga as she giggled in amusement. "If I did, it because I have good influence in my life." She replied with a smile on her face.
However before Ino could say anything to that. . .
"So, the Hyuga girl did become a slut for the akuma. I always knew you were like that." A cocky and rude female voice suddenly said, causing Ino to wince in fear as she held her own sheets tightly in her hands.
Hinata turned to see Sakura leaning against the doorway with an arrogant smirk on her face. "Haruno. . ." Hinata simply got out with a neutral tone as she discreetly looked at the sealed Curse Mark on the back of her hand. "What is it that you want?" She asked as she went in front of the cowering platinum blonde.
"What? I can't say hi to an old friend?" Sakura sarcastically asked, the smile not leaving her face. "I mean, I did beat her ass in our fight." She then bragged arrogantly.
Hinata didn't react nor show any visual anger as she looked back at her in the bed, before turning back to the arrogant kunoichi. "I suggest you leave Haruno. Now." She ordered with authority in her tone as she stepped forward with a glare.
Sakura smirked at the cowering girl before she then returned the glare with a hate filled one. "Fine, I'll leave for now." She replied as she then started to leave before she turned her head back to the Hyuga. "But know this Hyuga, I will crush you. I've been training and I'll prove that I'm superior to you slut." She then left as she slammed the door behind her shut.
After Sakura had left, Ino released a big sigh of relief as she loosen her grip on her covers. "Thanks Hinata, I. . .really appreciate it." She got out.
Hinata's face returned to her kind expression as she smiled at the girl. "No problem Ino-san its what friends do, they help each other." She replied with a kind tone, then she looked back at the door for a moment before looking back at her friend. "Haruno's really changed, huh?" She stated more than asked.
Ino frowned sadly at that, but she nodded all the same. "Yeah. . .and not in the good way." She agreed as she looked at the Hyuga "Take her down at the finals, she needs to learn that nothing revolves around her." She then stated more than requested.
Hinata smiled back at the girl. "Hai, it will be my pleasure." She replied with determination.
The two girls then started to have some friendly talk to each other as the day went on.
A few hours later. . .
Soon the sun started to set as a nurse came into the girl's room. "Excuse me ladies, but visiting hours are now over. I have to ask you to leave now." She politely requested the Hyuga.
Hinata turned to the nurse and nodded. "Very well." She replied as she then turned to Ino. "Well Ino-san, I have to get going now." She stated as she stood up.
Ino nodded in understanding. "Alright. I'll see you at the finals when you kick Sakura's ass." She replied with a sly smile.
"Hai." Hinata replied as she left.
Within Konoha. . .
While heading back to the Hyuga compound, Hinata decided to make a quick stop at Ichiraku's before heading back.
"Naruto-kun, I realize that if you win your match and I win my match, we would have to face each other. . ." Hinata thought to herself as she arrived at Ichiraku's and sat down at the stoll.
"Ah! Hinata-san, good evening!" Teuchi welcomed the girl with a large smile.
Hinata in turn giggled as she looked at the ramen chief. "Good evening Teuchi-san, one beef ramen please." She then requested.
"Sure! Coming right up!" Teuchi replied as she when and prepare the order.
The Hyuga then slowly began to eat her ramen as she smiled at the taste. Then she thought of the possibility of fighting Naruto and smiled with conviction. "That's why. . .I won't be holding back dattebahi!" She then thought with determination.
The day of the finals. . .
The last few days quickly went by as Hinata decide to spend her time resting her body and calming her mind with some deep meditation.
Then on the day of the finals, Hinata got everything ready, from her shinobi pouch to sorting out all of her shinobi tools.
Once Hinata knew that she was ready to head out, she took in a deep breath. "Alright, it's time to show all that I have learn dattebahi." She muttered as she rushed out, brimming with determination and ready for anything and everything that could happen.
(Original A/N, PLEASE keep reading to read the new one)
JG's (jgresidentevil) A/N: You everyone, this JG here with the recent chapter! I thought this time it should be different as me and Shinobi respond to one good review from the last chapter or any that caught our eyes that you left. I'll go first:
Zeromaru Chaos Mode: 'Oh my god you keep shoving Kamen Rider references in! First you use Zeronos' line, then you use Accel's line, now you've got the TaToBa combo as anbu?!
I swear someone better land a fucking Rider Kick on someone else or i will be VERY displeased. and it BETTER be flashy and explosive as all fucking hell.
And if you decide to have like, a trigger phrase for going Kyuubi...
It better be HENSHIN!'
Response: Yeah, I should've figures there have been a person that noticed them all. An actually henshin. . .yeah no, that won't happen anytime soon. ^^"
Moving on, The Hinata training chapter is done and it seems that our little Hinata is getting a little personality from Naruto thanks to the Kyubi's chakra. XD Well, now I'll let my partner do his thing and say his 'A/N'.
S-98's (Shinobi 98 Productions) A/N: ahem. Well, I suppose I should say hello, and I will write about three comments that seem important enough.
First up: DarkFlareX! First I have to say, cute picture! Your comment was: "Are you going to add more girls to Naruto's Harem? If you do, could you add Fu to the Harem?"
Okay, so, I have to say no. JG has his own ideas for Fu, and, well, Harems are both a hassle to write, and, in my opinion, unstable. The more you add, the more confusing the story gets, and the less time each character gets. Sorry. But there just might be some romantic inclination to one of the characters later on. Please be patient.
Number two: Ccebling2! Ok, your comment was: When Naruto gets trained by Jiraiya, will he learn the Rasengan and the limited knowledge Jiraiya knows to the Hiraishin, when Jiraiya teaches Naruto during the month break?
Alright. This is a very interesting, and valid, point. I believe that, yes, he will be learning the Rasengan, seeing as it is such a memorable part of his image. For the Hiraishin... I think that... well, to be honest, I have no idea whatsoever. It is a possibility, but not at this point in the story? Maybe later, but then again, don't get your hopes up. It is an open point.
And, last but not least: TheRazgrizDragon. You said: "I still can't believe how great this story is; I hope you two keep it up! I tip my hat to you two for this amazing story! Can't wait to see everyone's faces when "Sasuke" and or Naruto's heritage is reveled. Satsuki and Hinata beating back fangirls would be hilarious."
First of all, thanks very much for that! Also, I'm sure you'll be glad to know, that we are 75% to 100% sure that Satsuki and Naruto will be revealed to the village very, very soon. And for the "Satsuki and Hinata vs. Naruto Fangirls" idea... I think that might just happen.
For the ones I didn't get to, I thank you for your reviews. Most of them are positive, and all raise points that we might have missed. For reviews that are similar to the ones that I responded to, well... I think it's obvious. Thank you again, and stay tuned for "Uchiha Heiress Remix Chapter 23"! Mata ne!
JG: Anyways, everyone, thanks for loving Uchiha Heiress Remix! We'll await your reviews, PMs and much more! Later!
(New A/N)
JG (JGResidentEvil)'s A/N: What's up! Here we are again for the second of the remastered chapters this time around and this one was a doozy.
F2P (fight2protect)'s A/N: Yo! And it was completely focused on Hinata!
JG: Though it will be the first of the training chapters and they can be difficult. I mean when I originally wrote it, it was easy as I just made it up as I went along. ^^"
F2P: Oh yeah. . .It's hard to think of ways to logically make the trio grow stronger in a believable way. Like always, we made the chapter have more structure and be easier to read.
JG: However the basic objective for this chapter was Hinata's training with Haku to improve her own abilities as well as more details among other things, like the small Lee and Kin moment.
F2P: This chapter also featured a more detailed start for Hinata learning her newest jutsu and starting her Water affinity. And we also changed a few details that will fit our version of Hinata as we also had Haku give her a very useful water jutsu and something else that Haku did in Nami. :D
JG: And I still go by what I say that Hinata is more of a Water Style then canon where it was stated that she's a Fire and Lightning style, though we put that she has and average in Fire Style and a slight hint for Lighting Style in there. :3
F2P: We decided that our Hinata will be primary Water Style, because it would feel better for the trio to each have a elemental style that is better at using it than the other.
JG: Also, we had Hinata do what she basically learned in the filler canon involving her natural flexibility. You could also say it's something similiar to the Avatar from both The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
F2P: Yeah! That style may be overused, but it's still awesome! Now. . .the lime scene. . .Not going to explain this again, that's all you're going to get so please don't bother asking or requesting for more.
JG: Remember, they are twelve going on thirteen in Part One, so that's it.
F2P: The last bit will be the Hinata, Sakura and Ino bits, we had improve it a bit to fit their personalities better. But the threat that is Sakura will still remain.
JG: And with that, we're done for both remastered chapters this time! We'll see you next time as the next two with all so be rough to deal with. Later everyone!
F2P: Peace out!
(Update)
JG: Lime scene has been removed completely. No one ask for it to return, because it will not.
