Something I've just realized is that Tenshi could cast an unbreakable genjutsu for anything but sight against everybody, which if she ever realized would put her at Kage-level immediately, so her being able to beat Madara went from possible but unlikely to actually possible, since she could just paralyze him.
Konoha, December 24th , 68 years after Konoha's founding
Hiding away I keep watch of Hinata attempting to use the opportunity to power level stealth. Why am I watching Hinata from the shadows, you ask? Well, Kumo announced that their delegation will be arriving in a few days. So, I'm to start seriously guard Hinata just in case.
'So Hinata's birthday is when he shows up right?' I wonder trying to remember a series I haven't seen in five years. So, till they are confirmed back in Kumo, I have to spend every second guarding Hinata. Guess it's a good thing I don't need sleep. So, I just wait watching Hinata to make sure she isn't kidnapped, board out of my mind. But unable to slack off since I really don't want her to be kidnapped.
'The Hyūga are way more depressing than I thought, well I think they are.' I think while looking around the compound, taking the time to observe most of the Hyūga just in case. Keeping my attention on Hinata as she's being taught proper educate for her birthday.
Keeping a look out around the area observing anything out of the ordinary, since the Hyūga wouldn't let me put a seal that would let me know whenever someone enters the compound through anything but the front gate.
Knowing Hinata's not going to be kidnapped right now, I open up my quests.

Truth, is here to protect Hinata if needed.
'Their dexterity is much higher than mine, so is strength. If I use Heroic moment and strengthen, I could surpass their dexterity. I'll deal with them later' I assess before giving a quick hand sign over to them meaning 'Hello' or I can see you.
Keeping an eye out for any possible surprise attacks while making sure Hinata's safe. I slowly follow her as she is moved about the compound. And I continue doing this till Hinata was put to bed for the night which I then watch over every possible entrance to her room. For the entire night. Even though the delegation has yet to even arrive.
Slipping out of Hinata's room as an attendant? Walks in to wake Hinata up, waiting outside making sure to keep an eye on all possible exits from the room. Seeing Hinata walking out of the room and using a quick observe to make sure It's her, it is.
Following her discreetly, making sure to wave to the few Hyūgas I spot using their byakugan, since they defiantly saw me. Eventually making it to Hinata's daily lessons, I settle down out of her sight, and pull a bit of cloth and a needle from my inventory. 'Might as well make her a birthday gift while I wait.' I decide.
Starting to sew a scarf for her, splitting my attention between her and sewing. I keep watch making sure to observe everyone I see every couple of seconds
Observe has leveled up by 1, due to observe reaching level 100 you have gained insight.
"Huh?" I let out before immediately hiding deeper into my spot, as Hinata looks around for the source of the sound. Clicking on insight

Looking towards Hinata I think 'observe'

'That's actually helpful.' I think before going back to my gift keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.
Konoha, December 27th, 68 years after Konoha's founding
Watching over Hinata as she receives her party guest in a truly adorable way, I think. 'So if I'm right the head ninja should attack tonight.' Keeping an eye on the area around Hinata going through the hand signs to break Genjutsu every twenty seconds just in case, I watch as a very young Shikamaru is dragged to say hi to Hinata by his mother.
Catching some movement in the corner of my eye I immediately turn to see Shisui standing next to Itachi and his dad waving at me. 'How idiotic.' I think giving a small wave back to him. Smiling brightly, he draws attention away from one hand to sign 'Assistance?' signing back 'hold.' while shaking my head slightly.
Nodding slightly, he goes back to talking with some of the adults around the room. 'Wait I'm an adult... right?' I ask myself before forcing myself to snap back into attention. Watching as Hinata finishes greeting the last of the guests before she goes with her mother while her dad goes to talk with the other clan heads. Moving towards Hinata, signaling the random Hyūga I notice had his byakugan active that I'm friendly.
Stealth has risen by 1
'Not now' I think dismissing the notification. Watching Hinata hide behind her mother's leg 'Is this cute?' I wonder turning my attention to everyone in the room as I observe them. Getting nothing to suggest them being a spy, though one of the elders is going to die in his sleep next week so that's something. Casting my gaze over to Shisui. 'Wish they brought Sasuke I want to observe him.' I think slightly remembering him being Madara's reincarnation.
Seeing Itachi's dad Fugu something looking over at my direction I wave slightly as he clearly notices me. Seeing his eyes narrow as he walks over to Hiashi. Seeing him discreetly tell him something I watch as Hiashi nods to Itachi's dad. 'Guess he's confirming I should be here.' I think watching as Shisui looks over to me again.
Shisui abandoning Itachi for a little bit walks over towards a corner of the room, keeping watch over Hinata I sneak to his corner and using a quick transformation jutsu and hop down behind him. "Yeah?" I ask quickly.
"Fugaku-Sama noticed you, is it possible your compromised?" lightly flicking the back of his head I ignoring his exaggerated ow respond. "No, the two of you have some of the best eyes in the leaf, I doubt I've been truly found out."
Dismissing the Jutsu as soon as I found the right instant to dart back into the shadows. I observe Hinata just in case. Hinata's mother noticing how uncomfortable she is, grabs Hinata's hand and walks over to Hiashi. After talking to him for a moment he nods and give her a slight smile. walking towards the center of the room he says "I thank you all for joining us in our celebration tonight but I regret that we must cut it a bit short." he starts as Hinata and her mother leave the room, to which I follow.
Her mother taking her to her room, lays Hinata down in her futon, and after tucking her in and kissing her head, looks over to where I am and gives me a glare only a mother could and I nod to her and place a hand over my heart. And watch as she leaves.
'Time to get serious.' I think before quickly reaching into my inventory pulling out a bit of ink and a brush, taking off my mask I write on the inside a seal that should put a layer around my chakra hiding it from sensors. Before placing it back on, and sinking deeper into the shadows out of the way of a possible entrance. And I wait... and wait I do so for the next three hours.
'When is he going to show up?' I wonder for the third time this hour. As suddenly a body goes through the window. Immediately observing him

Truth, will fail in his attempt
Insight, is focused on his mission, doesn't notice you.
'Shit he's strong' I think as I watch him move closer to Hinata. 'Fuck.' I think before summoning thirty chains blocking off Hinata.
-300 CP
'Strengthen, Heroic moment' I think activating both having done some quick math
-47 MP
Feeling my perception of time change as I swing my sword towards him, I watch as his eyes widen slightly, then much faster than anything else I've seen he moves away from my strike, and kicks me back.
-327 HP
Not feeling much thanks to pain resistance, I roll away as a cut appears on the matt below me. Seeing the outline of his sword passing over my head, I take a step forward raising my arm slightly to catch the blade
-5 HP
Taking my chance from his surprise as sparks fly from the silver under my arm and his sword clashing. I step into his guard and quickly cast a genjutsu that makes him think I stepped in-between him and Hinata
-238 MP
Seeing him dart backwards to get away I stab my sword into his foot ignoring the fearful gasp of Hinata behind me, I place my hand onto his head before he can react and pull a pre-prepared seal from my inventory, and stick it to him with a bit of chakra. Seeing his body tense and freeze I check the seal to make sure his chakra is sealed. Before I place the edge of my sword against his neck.

Dismissing the screen, I turn towards the terrified Hinata I keep my chains up and say "Sorry for the intrusion, and happy birthday Hinata." I say throwing a scroll that unfurls and in a puff of smoke produces a scarf. Hiashi chose that moment to burst through the door.
"Would you please send someone to inform lord third about this." I say keeping my eye on the head ninja prepared to kill him at a moment's notice. Hiashi nodding turns to one of the other Hyūga's with him "You heard her!" he shouts, and after a quick observe confirms, its him I dismiss the chains to allow him to access Hinata.
"Now you..." I start glaring at the Ninja through my mask. Reaching my hand and prying his jaw open I start to look for the poison capsules I know is there. Finding and ripping it out, I observe each induvial tooth to confirm there are no more, before turning to a Hyūga still in the room prepared to fight.
"Search him for anything he could kill himself with." I order to which he nods and starts ruffling through everything. Seeing the bastards throat tense, I say "Don't bother talking... yet I do plan on listing to your screams later." I say letting out a bit of killing intent. Seeing as he's not fully phased I take my mask off just enough for him to see one of my empty eyes and I say "I'll pray I can enjoy it." seeing his eyes dart around looking for an exit after seeing my eyes I put the mask back on right, just as Kakashi lands by the door, and Hiruzen not far behind.
"Seems your suspicion was correct Kitsune, keep watch over Hinata." he orders his eyes going between showing pride in me and glaring at him, after a quick observe to confirm they are who they say I leave immediately following orders
Konoha, December 29th, 68 years after Konoha's founding
"Cheers!" Shisui and I say as we clink our cups of tea, mine's filled with sake, and drink. Celebrating a successful mission, and treaty since Kumo couldn't exactly wiggle its way out of it with their ambassador being caught red handed and still Alive. So, after a few days of Kumo and Konoha yelling at each other they signed an updated treaty slightly more in our favor. Oh, and Hiashi got to execute the guy for the attempt on his daughter I was invited to watch... I didn't.
"So, what now?" he asks setting the tea down. "Honestly don't know I guess I will just do whatever interest me for now." I say trying to think of anything else since the next event is the Uchiha massacre and no matter how good of friends I've become with Shisui and Izumi I will not change the plot that much since Hizashi being alive already did a lot in that regard.
"Something wrong?" Shisui asks, tilting my head and forcing confusion onto my face I ask "Why are you asking?" narrowing his eyes slightly he says "Your nose was twitching you only do that when you're thinking of something you don't like."
'How much have I been hanging around him?' I wonder slightly before leaning back and taking a sip of sake and saying "I won't lie and say it's nothing, but I cannot actually tell you, not for any reason you would understand or agree with... but it still reason enough not to tell you." letting out a small sigh he smiles and says "Well here's hoping that, that will change." nodding slightly I say "It won't, but I won't stop you from trying."
"So have any plans for the new year?" he asks to which I shake my head "Not really unless not dying counts as plans." Nodding a bit, he smiles brightly before saying "So how about we check out the festival together?"
"Festival?" I ask confused. "Wait you don't know about the new year festival?" shaking my head no he says "How could you live in Konoha and have no idea about the festival." deciding to be a bit cruel I say "Sorry I was a bit busy being turned into an emotionless killing machine, to enjoy the festivals."
Laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head he says "Well then we should make up for lost time, trust me you'll enjoy it." taking a second to think it over. 'Well, it wouldn't hurt to look around for things that might interest me.' turning my attention to Shisui I ask "Do I have to wear a yukata?"
"No." he says quickly. "Fine I'll go." I say as Shisui pops out of his seat and cheers a bit. Shaking my head at his antics I say "Sit down, other people are trying to enjoy their meals." Shisui sitting down pouts slightly saying "Aw, your no fun." before smiling a bit.
"Ah young love." a semi familiar voice rings out to towards the entrance turning to Kakashi, who's still reading that trash, I say "Hello Buntaicho, I would point out I'm unable to fall in love, and since I'm far too young for sexual temptations I doubt Shisui and I would be in such a relationship, but who has the time." I say attempting to figure out how to destroy his fifth.
"Mah, I can understand that, just wanted to say Lord third want's you two to drop by his office soon." he says, putting his smut away as he notices me glaring at it. "I thought I didn't need to give anymore statements?" I say trying to figure out why I'm being called back in. As Kakashi walks off.
"Check." Shisui says to a waiter, as I pull some ryo from my inventory.
And that's it, so Tenshi's fight with Kumo's head Ninja. I doubt that the guy Kumo sent was actually one of their strongest Ninjas and since I didn't have an accurate idea of his strength from cannon, I made him around Jonin, which thanks to strengthen and Heroic moment Tenshi was able to match. Plus, she is a very smart fighter so using an unnoticeable and unbreakable genjutsu definitely helped. And she changed the story, maybe Neji won't be such a jerk. Anyways here's the stats
