Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! Hey everyone, so...copy and pasting is apparently not too kind on Google chrome, as it freezes up my browser for some reason. Unlike fire fox, but thankfully I can upload the chapters as it is without needing to copy and paste XD. So here it is, the next chapter of the story! I had quite enjoy myself writing this chapter and the character interactions and actions with one another, I personally believe is one of my best ones I've written in a long time for Naruto lol. So, hope you all enjoy and have fun reading. And yes...I know about the punctuation, they are my krytonite to that of Superman, am trying my best to making them better.

But then again, if I worry to much about the punctuation? I won't be having fun writing out my chapters and be entirely to focus of making sure it is perfect. Not every author is perfect and can have their own quirky writing styles XD. Anyway, hope you all have fun with this chapter. Especially when Hinata meets up with Sacura[Sakura] later in the chapter. Who is based of from the Kung fu Girl of the Mugen fighting games. ENJOY!

Chapter 14: Mission complete, New teams to meet!

It has been quite the rough week for Team seven! It has been quite the month in the Land of Waves, fighting thugs, drug dealers and a maniac who thinks he can control the country. By using fear, black mailing and killing people to get his way, making sure they will be under his thumb and never turn their backs on him. While hiring thugs and killers, to stop them and show his strength through fear!

That is until Team seven came along and put things to a stop! Even more so one of their members Hinata Hyuga: became close to one of the hire guns and S ranking missing Ninja, Zabuza's adoptive daughter Haku! Who, after spending time training with her summon animal came across the team after their arrival. Where the young girl became quite fond over Hinata, taking pity at first over how everyone seemed to treat her?

Made the young hunter ninja quite sympathetic over the girl...But soon after meeting up with her one day, collecting herbs and flowers for Zabuza's injuries? Who, surprisingly got defeated by the newly formed team and surprising team work with both Hinata and Sasuke, along with over whelming her adoptive father in battle and freed their sensei! She was quite impressed with Hinata's ninja skills and intellect, making her become interested in knowing the girl, not knowing why she is being mistreated.

And thus a friendship and bond grew for the two of them, despite what happened at the bridge with the two of them, with Haku almost winning against Hinata. Only for the girl turn things around and defeated her, bested her in the fight and summon some odd Chakra at the time? But it all worked out for the best, though the rest of the month...were kind of blurry for Hinata and the team. They couldn't recall what happened at all after the last few days. All they can recall or felt was incredible drain in their bodies and woken up with what felt like, broken limbs and some bones! Even surprising when they woke to seeing Hinata, in a arm sling for her right arm, completely broken in different places and when Kakashi asks her how this happened?

The girl could only respond with a very small shrug of her shoulder and yelp when she accidentally moved the broken arm, nearly grabbing it with her other arm and then relaxed. After that and deciding they shouldn't push anything along with trying to figure out, what went on during those past few days? Only coming up with nothing and seemingly, all Kakashi along with the Forest Anbu: who was still in the area for the day and even he too! Was injured and harmed from something he wasn't sure of, despite the light teasing and snickering coming from Kurama, had went and informed Kakashi Hatake and his team that the only thing he could find or deduce was a large battlefield taking place about five hours away from the village.

Either than that, nothing else came up and no signs of anyone recalling what happened...except a few villagers explaining and telling Hinata that, they would love to meet her twin sister any time in the future. Getting all three Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke to blink their eyes then stared at the girl. Who just blinked her eyes at them and shrugs, whispering she has one sister...but she isn't a twin. Then they head on out to the Leaf village!

"Finally, we're back home!" Groaned Sakura while throwing her arms up and then hanging them down against her body, roughly growling and moaning in irritation! "Maybe I can finally get home, wash up and get cleaned from everything that had happen this past month," Groaned the Kunoichi. Earning some sighs from Zabuza, who was rubbing and grabbing the bridge of his nose.

"As well for once peace and quiet from your constant nagging and bickering on our way here." Growled the missing ninja, getting Sakura to glare up at him and having sparks shooting out from her eyes. Getting the tall man to smirk. "What, can't handle the truth that you are obnoxiously loud?" He countered and chuckle, "makes me wondered how Kakashi could handle your constant bickering, or Hinata here." Which he slaps her back, getting the heiress to squeak and blushes lightly.

Silently asking to herself of why he is bringing her into this?! "Is able to not lash out or get annoyed from your constant talking." He teased. Which had Sakura fuming and ready to lash out, but let out a long breath of air when she felt Haku gently tapping and rubbing her back.

"Easy Sakura, easy..." Informed Haku, who gave a light playful smile. "It takes time to get used to my father's antics and bluntness." She informed while laughing lightly and then approaches Hinata, though added her own two cents. "But honestly and need to ask," And turns after bringing Hinata into a hug, a protective one at that which, has the young girl to sigh and blushes lightly...so new at the concept of someone caring for her and giving her such kindness in her life. Sure, her father shows it...but it is very rare these days and Hanabi, sweet angel she is. Only gives it once in awhile, since her private lessons and schooling happens early in the day and training with their father.

"But do you...ever once in your life pause and take a breath?" Asked Haku, who removed her arm from Hinata. "I mean," then sheepishly smiles, "you never once stopped talking or asked questions when we left Land of Waves, especially when the bridge finished. So do you ever..." Though backs up with a smirk, when she heard Sakura letting out a growl and stomps her way over to Haku and thrusts a finger at her! Ready to speak her mind.

"Easy Sakura, she is just messing with ya and everyone here is just having their little fun." Kakashi informed while grabbing onto the girl's arm, making her to thrash and kick about for a bit and then began breathing and huffing lightly, pulling herself away from the man and nodding. "Now..." He then upright himself after seeing the young ninja calming down, while then shaking her head muttering about disrespecting ninja's and how she doesn't deserve any of this! Making Kakashi to chuckle and turn towards Hinata and Haku, watching just how close the two gotten, with Haku acting all sisterly to the young girl. Adjusting her hair a bit and damaged coat, while asking if she was alright and doing okay?

Which Hinata smiled and nods, then faces at Kakashi and sheepishly smiled when he gave a light eye smile and lightly nods, "Since we all made it back I think be best. For team seven to take a good long break from this mission," He gently ruffles Hinata's hair a bit. "Especially you Hinata. I don't remember what happened or recall what events, went down these past three days?" Then moves his hand away. "But you should go and rest that arm of yours, while for the rest of you." He said while turning to Sakura and Sasuke.

"I think be best you two also get some rest, recover from the mission..." Then smiled. "I'll take Zabuza and Haku over to the Third Hokage, inform him about whats happening and give him our mission report." Kakashi then turned to the two. "Alright then, shall we get going? We just need to follow the main road to the Tower." He informed the two of them, with Zabuza sighing and shaking his head lightly. Earning a big smile from Haku.

"Yeah, yeah lead the way..." Then pats Hinata's head, "take it easy kid, alright? I don't want to hear how you've broken your arm into two. By returning home or tripping on a pebble got it." He joked. Getting the heiress to sigh and softly replies back that she will be careful, while facing forward and watching the three of them heading off through the large gates of Konoha. Smiling fondly when Haku turn back at her and grins, whispering that they should hang out, once things get cleared up with the Hokage. Caught up with everything that has been happening between Team Seven and their mission to Wave!

Sasuke huffs a bit and stuffed his hands into his pockets, while beginning to walk forward and through the gates. "Well I am going to take Kakashi's offer of relaxing from the mission." He mumbled lightly feeling Sakura running on up next to him, with Hinata following right behind them. "I do wish, we can figure out what happened the past three days and why it is?" He then hisses from hearing a pop from his shoulder, causing the boy to move a hand to it, "we are so sore and injured...I don't recall that fight between Zabuza and Haku, being that brutal?"

The two girls hummed lightly with their heads nodding ever lightly, also wincing and hissing of their own injuries. Like Sasuke, they too were confused of why it is they were so beaten up and sore...let alone Hinata, waking up with a broken arm! The three lightly wave to the gate guards, who nods in response. Glad to seeing the three children making it back alright and safely, bit surprised and shock from seeing one of Mist's missing Ninja's walking on in with Kakashi!

"I-I can't remember anything at all..." Hinata finally spoke. After being quiet for so long and making sure to stick close with the two. Getting some confuse stares and looks from the villagers and nearby Ninja's, who were looking in their direction. Making this feel bit uneasy for the young Heiress, as she knows this point in time? They start their usual banter and whispering about the girl...but no. Seems like they were highly curious of why it is the children, seem to be bruised up and beaten up so much. Making Hinata to look down at the ground and then shifted her lavender eyes over to her sling arm, "It, it would be nice to know how this even happened or where, we even got these cuts and bruises from." Stuttered the young girl.

"I am more worried about you though Hinata," Sakura suddenly said after turning her head at the girl. Causing the Heiress to look up at her, "how you aren't screaming or whimpering from that broken arm, astounds me of how you were able to sleep through the night, with it like that!" Exclaimed the ninja. Making Hinata to giggle lightly with a smile, yeah...she too was surprised of how she slept through it. "You need any adjustments to the sling or need me to tighten it up a bit?" She offer while having quite a concern look. "Looks like you might need-"

"No, no it's-it's quite alright Sakura," Hinata interrupted while feeling her right hand moving up out of instinct. "I think, think am recovering just fine." And got some laughter from the two in front of her, when she look at her injured arm and smiled. "See, my hand is already able to move around a bit! I should be fully healed by tomorrow!" She giggled out while playfully, wiggling her right hand around a bit. Showing the two that she's just fine.

After few minutes of walking through the streets and over a small bridge, the three of them were now in the middle of the main street of Konoha, where the three of them were standing by and looking to one another, "Alright then, this is where we separate." Sasuke said after coming to a stop and looking at the other two. "I know Kakashi will probably get some missions, later today or tomorrow. So best we go on own ways from here...:" Then turned his attention to Hinata, making Sakura to deadpan a bit. "You sure be alright Hinata? I can-can walk you home if you want, or possibly take you to the hospital."

Which Hinata shook her head, "I'm fine Sasuke don't worry about me." Then thumbs behind her, "the clan district is down this road. Only about ten minutes away from my home sure f-father is waiting for me to report back to him." She sighed and then giggled, "No doubt my sister Hanabi, will be curious and excited to knowing how things went!" She beamed happily, making her two partners to stare lightly and smiled back. Amazed...just amazed of how much Hinata smiles! Despite what happened or transpired back in the Land of Waves; the girl is still able to show a smile for them. Making sure that they have nothing to worry about or be concerned about her health and safety

"Alright, guess you have everything planned out." Sasuke chuckled and turns his back to them. "See ya then, make sure you all get rested up alright?" And with that as well short wave, the boy headed off in the opposite direction from Hinata. Making Sakura, to let out a yelp and chases after the boy!

"See ya Hinata, make sure you take care that arm of yours alright! If you don't," Then began running backward and openly punches her hand with a smirk. "I will give you a reason to watch over it! See ya!" And then turns, "Sasuke-kun wait up! Let's, let's walk back home together!" Exclaimed the lovelorn fan-girl, making Hinata to shake her head and lightly let out a low breath of air.

"Despite everything, seems like Sakura will still go after Sasuke," Hinata thought to herself with a light shake of her head. She went ahead and began walking down the road, leading towards the Clan district route. Where most if not Ninja clan buildings and businesses lives on. Trying her somewhat best to speed walk through the streets, hoping to avoid any hateful glares or angry looks coming from nearby villagers or ninja's who are resenting over the fox sealed inside of her... Well, she would say that but now? Most of the looks and stares she was receiving from people around her, were curiosity and slight worry of how she got that injure of hers, or how she managed to broken her arm?

Making things feel bit unsettling but not unnerving from receiving such looks, though no doubt. She thought. They will soon turn into ones of hate and disgust for the girl, after the initial shock factor has passed them, making the young ninja to quickly hasten her pace through the streets. In hopes of being able to reach her home in time, before they start chucking or throwing things at her! Or openly start speaking out loud about their hatred for her...that alone sends a vile taste through Hinata's throat. Having the heiress to grit her teeth lightly and closed her eyes for a brief moment.

"Why though? Why can they not see me, for who I am. I am nothing like the nine-tailed fox, I am nothing like that monster 12 years ago." She tighten her eyes a bit. Her speed unaware was picking up some more as her mind races through her thoughts, trying to figure out. Why it is that nobody can't see her as the ninja she is! Don't they realize that she's not a monster, but a human being? "Hell...feel more better off living in the land of waves than here." Then shook her head and sighs. "No that wouldn't be fair...Hanabi will miss me greatly, if I do start thinking things like that and become quite concern over what will happen." The young girl turned around the corner, making sure to open her eyes when doing so. So she wouldn't be bumping into people or objects along the way, especially with her broken arm she has currently.

That brought up another problem...Her father. Much he is kind and caring, always looking out for what is best for her and Hanabi. He is still the clan head and must look out over the Hyuga clan, over his own daughters and no doubt. If she were to return with a broken arm, she gotten during a mission...which said mission originally was going to be a C rank, which then got boosted up to an A rank? He and the Clan elders will be somewhat disgusted over her performance...making the girl to scowl lightly and unintentionally began stomping her way over to her home.

"No doubt he would probably be disgusted about this arm of mine..." She began thinking. Turning around a corner, tilting her body sideways to avoid bumping or crashing into some of the trash bins and garbage bags on the ground. Along with weaving and bobbing through some of the villagers. Who per usual, did not bother to move out of her way or accepting her being there, "know he has to watch over the clan over both Hanabi and I, while keeping a strong stance. But the least he could do is TRY to be an actual father...caring for his children, or congratulate them on a job well done," She mused out and stiffen her shoulders a bit feeling that odd, anger building up inside of her again.

Having the heiress to take a long breath of air, in hopes of calming herself down and not get too wok up. Of the situation that might happen or will happen, once she enters the clan. "I understand the Hyuga family, is one of the strongest clans in the leaf village. Doesn't mean father can ignore Hanabi or I...E-especially what I have to go through." Granted she thought. He doesn't know that she knows, about the nine-tailed fox being sealed inside of her. He still probably thinks she knows nothing about it and wants it to keep it that way, afraid of what might have happened. If he were to drop the bomb on her and informed her about the fox!

This rational thought had her hanging her head down and came to a stop, couple feet from a nearby BBQ restaurant, openly stating. "On second thought, that IS why he's probably being hard on me...he probably doesn't know that I-I-" Then nearly jumps out of her skin, forcing the girl to leap forward and quickly twirl around her feet from a voice suddenly speaking up behind, then the person leaning back with a shock expression with their hands up in defense, from Hinata. Swiftly grabbing a blunt Kunai within her weapon pouch and aiming it at the person neck!

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! I come in peace, I come in peace!" It was Shikamaru! "Damn girl, I understand that ninja's must be vigilant at all times..." He then softly presses a finger on the Kunai, pushing it down gently and sighs when Hinata came to her senses. Who then quickly pulls the weapon back and away, while bowing down in apologies! "It's alright..really actually, am kind of glad someone is taking their ninja career seriously." Chuckled the lazy Nara, who gently rubs the back of his neck. "Though the situation is understandable, considering the injury and all...Take it the mission was rough on ya?" He asked softly, watching the girl calming down and taking few breath of air, before taking notice of her arm and then softly nods.

"You could say that...though, we don't even know where these injuries came from." She chuckled, making Shikamaru to raise an eyebrow, "I-I'll explain later Shikamaru...just, just don't need to worry about it right now." She said and gently, or tries her best to poke her fingers together. Getting the whisker marks on her cheeks to hang down lightly.

"Bah...will be troublesome to listen anyway, if you don't know then you don't know. Simple as that." Said the Nara kid, who shrugged his shoulders and lightly rubs an ear. "Anyway, long you all came back safe and sound, then that all really matter right?" Which he got a nod from the girl and a smile. "Good, so what's been bothering ya right now...dad giving you trouble?" He asked, getting the aroma of food hitting their noses from the restaurant next to them.

"Err..." Hinata then suck in her lower lip and shifts her eyes away, "Sort of...but it is more of-"

"The elders? Alright don't need to say anymore." Chuckled the kid, making Hinata to sigh and give a half felt chuckle, damn him she thought. There is a reason why Nara's are the smartest in the entire village, who knows how smart Shikamaru himself is! "Just hang in there alright, sure everything will work out fine." He stated lightly and yawns, "Anyway...I am sure Choji and Ino, will probably want to know how things are with ya and even probably invite you inside. If you want to wait that is..." Then rolled his head and looks up lazily towards the sky, making Hinata to stare lightly and looks up as well.

"But I can't be bother about it...too troublesome to hang out anyway." He muttered lightly. "Waste of money as well, considering Choji tends to eat everything. And Ino," Then clicks his tongue lightly and closes his eyes. While Hinata stared forward, feeling bit strain on the neck from looking up at the sky for too long. "She probably will pester us about not over eating or being lazy all the time, telling us to be more serious in our Ninja career." He stated, while then rolling his shoulders. "When in fact she herself should be serious, always talking about Sasuke all the time or, saying how certain things he will be cool at doing and the likes."

"You too...?" Hinata snapped lightly, while then quickly covering her mouth from the sudden outburst. Which had Shikamaru grinning and snickering to himself, no doubt she was talking about Sakura. Waving it off, letting her know he has no qualms over things, she dislikes about Sakura. "So-sorry..."

"Don't be, I have a feeling Sakura will be tons of trouble ever since. Being paired with you and Sasuke, though unlike Sakura," Shikamaru then lower his head and looks at the heiress. "Ino actually puts effort and works hard while on missions, surprisingly takes it seriously when she wants too." Then smiled. "Honestly, think she enjoys being a ninja, than being a girl whenever we have down time."

Hinata was about to laugh and smile at the boy, only to widen her eyes and watches him get punched hard in the back of his head! After, she spotted said blonde hair girl right behind him and appeared before them...Right at the same time he began saying, how it's better when she's not being a girl and threw a hard punch right into him! Having him get flown past Hinata, which had her looking in his direction and twitched from the impact of boxes and barrels! Breaking and snapping all around him, with the boy falling down onto his back and having his legs, touching the ground between his head. Staring lazily towards his panting and heavy breathing, red face partner.

"You better not be dissing me Shikamaru! There are more where that came from, you hear me!" Screeched the platinum hair girl, while raising her fist up! Having quite the scary look in her eyes, while even shaking the fist to literate what she means by 'there's more where that came from' statement. Making Hinata to lightly scuffle away from the girl. While then tentatively waving hello towards Asuma and Choji.

"Women...such a drag we have to live with such violent creatures," stated Shikamaru. Who then receives a thrown frying pan to the face, causing him to swell up lightly and having quite the painful look on his expression, "such violent creatures." He repeated before passing out on the ground.

After that dramatic event from Team Asuma. Hinata, tried her best not to get involve too much with the group, considering the fact that Ino. Has ran into Sakura along her way over here and was told by the girl. Of the many things and activities she was able to spend with Sasuke, during their mission. Hence why she came here suddenly, punching Shikamaru at the back of his head and send him flying. All because somewhat lies Sakura relay to Ino, about her and Sasuke. Which, Hinata seriously felt sorry for Choji and Shikamaru now, had began discussing about the many things that never happened, between Sakura and Sasuke. While dragging the heiress into her discussion, while also being pulled into the restaurant with them!

Throughout the ordeal and not wanting to cause any trouble, with the faculties or employees with the team? Hinata, made sure she did not order anything off from the menu, telling...or lying towards the team. About how she had already ate when arriving to the village, sitting in her seat silently. Using sheer will power to not have her stomach growling out or being in slight pain, for ignoring the delicious food in front of her. But... she can now see why Shikamaru, didn't want to invite her into the restaurant.

Choji can eat a lot and whenever Ino is apparently mad or frustrated with something? The girl also over eats a lot and orders, quite a large amount of meat for herself. While letting out her frustration on the team and Sensei. Though they all seem to not mind and quite comfortable with one another, even throwing out their own cents here and there, between Ino's frustration about Sakura and Sasuke. HELL! What shock Hinata the most, is when said frustration then turns into a discussion, about what she should try and do in the future. For her ninja career or if she wanted to get stronger, in order to show off her skills in front of Sakura.

Making the young ninja there to smile fondly at how happy they are were...while she herself. Is stuck with a team who can't, really get along well with one another. Sakura to fixated on getting Sasuke's attention, Sasuke being to hard and serious about his training and mission, while Kakashi; seems too fixated on making sure Sasuke, out of the three of them. Get the most training effort out of the entire team, while constantly having them be training in team work.

Which of course she didn't think over what she was doing and openly said, "Wish my team was like yours...All they really care about is either themselves, or importance of teamwork." Hinata said with her eyes softening up and staring openly at the food. Causing Ino to stop her rant and turn her attention towards the heiress, this even had Shikamaru, who was sitting next to Hinata. To open one eye at her, showing great concern in them and analyzing over her facial feature.

"I take it...Kakashi-sensei, isn't really much putting effort to helping you out?" Asuma asked softly, while folding his hands together on the table. "Your face gives it away Hinata, before you even ask...How bad is it?" He was curious too, doesn't the cyclops know that a sensei. Should be watching out over all of them and making sure, the team was working together and not against each other?

The girl figure to not hide it anymore...She already slip up by stating how annoying Sakura could be with Shikamaru. And now has slip up about wishing her team were like them, making her to close her eyes and hang her head down, making Choji...for once in his life, to stop eating and paying attention to a classmate.

"Not...too bad," Hinata started saying, "he does give us some training once in awhile, making sure to letting us know what we are doing wrong or if we're doing it right." She then sighs and began poking and flicking her chopsticks, at one of the steaks on the grill. "But honestly, he doesn't really...put a lot of effort in teaching us everything or anything at all. Mainly his focus has been all on and around Sasuke, making sure he gets the benefits with the teachings he's given. Never once helping or teaching Sakura or I, with the training methods Sasuke goes through."

"Seriously?" This came from Ino, who was dumbfounded of what she was hearing! "Kakashi-sensei hasn't taught you or Sakura anything that Sasuke, is going through?! You...sure?" Ino asked, which had Hinata softly smiling and nods. Amazed really, of how much the girl really cares about her comrades...huh, here she thought the girl was one of the biggest fan girls of Sasuke back in their academy days. "Huh...it isn't what I heard from Sakura."

"Well, she may have spin a few tales to probably get your goat Ino. So in a way, she wanted to make it sound like her and Sasuke, share something like that. While leaving Hinata out of the equation." Asuma stated lightly, while leaning back on his chair. Honestly though, Hinata shows no real interest in the boy...it doesn't take a genius to know why Sakura, left Hinata out of her tale. Although, his brown eyes turned serious from the tone Hinata suddenly took, when she lifted her eyes at Ino.

:"What...did Sakura say if you don't mind me asking." The tone was of frustration and slightly...how can he put it? Out of character of Hinata, making him wondering if things in the village were starting to get too her, or the frustration Kakashi is putting his team in, were starting to waver the girl patience? This also didn't go unnoticed by the others, making Ino to gulp lightly. Actually afraid of what Hinata might do to her, if she were to go and explain what Sakura said about her 'specifically'. Even feeling sweat beginning to drip down her forehead and neck.

"Er.. W-well, I don't think it isn't that important Hinata! What is important is that you all came back safely!" Ino beamed nervously, while then grimacing her smile. "Wrong choice in words you idiot! Hinata is in a arm sling, her arm is probably broken in two places because of that sensei's of theirs, negligence of training them all except for Sasuke!" She told herself and hang her head down, making everyone there to blink their eyes.

"Alright...but please, don't be mad at me okay?" Ino said softly and took in a whole lot of breath, before saying to Choji. "Mind defending me." She quickly stated, getting the boy to blink his eyes confusingly, then watching Ino nudging her head at Hinata, hinting that she doesn't want to get pummeled! Making the boy to let out a low ah and nods, though...he himself ain't quite confident of being able to defend himself against Hinata!

"Hinata...what Sakura told me is."

The young heiress who had recently left the restaurant. Has somewhat left with a bit of a huff and bit of anger when exiting the building, her eyes were burning with bit of anger and somewhat tears. From Ino telling her what Sakura had told her, after meeting up with her or running into her along the streets. The girl shoulder's were tighten and stiff. She was walking with rather light stomps in her steps, swinging her free arm angrily forward and back. Gritting her teeth once in awhile and well, she just had to get out of the restaurant for some fresh air...And to get on home.

"The...the nerve!" Hinata thought to herself while huffing lightly and just squeezing her way through couple of the villagers, who were moving or stepping out of the way. Shouting towards her of where she should be going, which of course in her light anger state. Threw her head towards their direction with a somewhat scary scowl, "I wouldn't need to watch where I am going! If you were to step aside!" She shouted back at the villager and turns her attention back forward! Causing the people around her to lightly widen their eyes a bit at the retort answer...

Some were disgusted and openly state how people like her, has no right to talk to them like that. While a few of them. Were surprisingly rooting and shouted "You tell them girl!" from a distance of Hinata. Which got her to sighing and chuckling lightly.

"Why did Sakura told Ino what I've done and how much trouble I caused for the whole team!?" Hinata then growled frustratingly! Turning a corner and taking a brief stop in her walk, while then turning around and leans up against one of the building walls. Huffing and breathing heavily. Trying everything to calm herself down and keeping her anger in check... More importantly. Trying to also rationalize where this foreign anger is even coming from!

"She has told me about how you were somewhat talking back to Kakashi-sensei, demanding him or questioning his teaching methods...While stating that Sasuke should not get all the attention, but you as well." Were Ino words as she stared at the heiress intently as well worriedly. Quite scared of what Hinata might do to her at the table, making the young girl to sigh lightly and shake her head. She should've apologize for her behavior towards Team Asuma. "Honestly, I had a suspicion that Sakura was kind of lying to me on the account..." Which the image of the blonde hair girl, lightly scratching her cheek and closing her eyes.

Brought a light chuckle from Hinata's throat, "You're not one to cause any trouble or even talking back to others, UNLESS!" She air quoted in the memory. "You have a very good reason to talk back, and from what you have told us and inform about Kakashi teachings."

Which this had Hinata smiling softly and opened her eyes. Staring up at the clouds and repeated Ino's words, which aren't hers. "He was definitely being somewhat of an...well an Ass to Sakura and I." She never understood why it is that Kakashi, seems to be only teaching Sasuke these lessons and not towards her or Sakura? Is it...because they share the Sharingan and that. He could only teach certain things because of it?

"If you ask me and want my opinion, it sounds like your sensei. Is just playing favorites, after all...Sasuke was the rookie of the year in our class. Second to Ino of course, consider Ino here has the top scores out of everyone alongside Sasuke and Sakura."

"Maybe Shikamaru is right?" Hinata thought out loud, while gently moving her injure arm into a more comfortable position without having it, hurting or screaming out in agony as she whimpers a bit and carefully. Rubs her elbow lightly and then shook her head, "Kakashi-sensei is probably playing favorites and prefers teaching Sasuke over Sakura and I." Muttered the girl, granted that isn't the real reason she stormed off.

Oh no, it is what Sakura told Ino about their battle against Haku and Zabuza...Okay, so maybe half way through the fight against Haku. Since Hinata, got there very late and arrived when Sasuke got trapped in her Crystal Ice mirrors. But their first encounter with Zabuza...

"So is it true that Sakura and Sasuke, were the ones who took out Zabuza and freed Kakashi? Or was that a lie too...Cause if it is, then I can't honestly see Sakura. Openly throwing herself into danger just yet." Ino asked slashed worried, as the memory played out in her head. Telling Ino at the restaurant that Sakura did not in fact, fought or participated in taking out Zabuza. Though she did an excellent job protecting Tazuna, so she did her part...but it was all mostly Sasuke and her. Who took on Zabuza and distracted him long enough.

"But Hinata, you..." Which the platinum blonde hair ninja threw her arms forward with a big smile. "YOU! Came up with a plan and worked amazingly well with Sasuke, to execute it! You should give yourself more credit girl, no one I know...is able to think on their feet in a situation like that!"

"She's right, that was amazing of you coming up with something like that against Zabuza. A Missing Jonin assassin no less, you should be proud Hinata." Those were Asuma's words, which the man just was smiling throughout the conversation.

"Ugh...I should really, really apologize to them about me storming off..." Hinata groaned out and hang her head down, gently rubbing and pressing the tip of her sandals against the ground. Then grimace a bit when she then heard her stomach growling loudly, making her place her hand against the stomach, "right...I haven't even eaten anything. I didn't want to eat with them, considering...the owners and workers might over charge my food." She groaned.

"Man...can I have one day something goes right for me?" Which the girl then yells out in fright and leaps away from the corner of the building, from watching a tough brute looking man, get thrown right on out and pass the corner. Hitting the ground hard and sliding across the streets with what appears to be, dirt and bruises on his hands... Making her blink her eyes a bit and gently steps close towards the corner. Then peaking over it to see what's going on?

"Hee, hee!" Shouted a female young voice coming from the other side of the building! "Another one bites the dust and thrown out into the curve, like the piece of waste you are!" Declared the voice, having Hinata to lightly blink her eyes and began stepping out of the corner and fully around the building. Then walking around towards the open restaurant bar and sandwich shop. Trying her best to tiptoe and look over couple of the gathering crowds of villagers, looking onward. "Who is next and dares to challenge me, Kurotsuchi of the Hidden Rock Village!" Shouted the girl, making Hinata who was within the crowd and somehow, someway got through them all and yelp lightly when she trip forward.

Then lifting her head up towards the girl, hearing her saying something about being from the Rock village? "Come on now, who else wants a piece of me! I can do this arm wrestling all day!" Giggled the black hair Genin, who sat down on hr seat. Arrogantly crossing her legs over one lap, wearing the traditional Rock ninja gear, though with her head band slanted across her forehead, while having bit of a messy looking hair. Her brown eyes beaming smugly towards any opponents.

"Seriously, I know that the Chuunin exams are nearing. But do we have to have...these people here?" One of the villagers whispered to one next to them, making Hinata to look up at them. "I mean, aren't we still somewhat not friendly territory with the Rock ninjas?"

"I know what you mean, but there is a reason for the Chuunin exams to bring Ninjas together." The woman next to the one, replied back. Making Hinata to tilt her head and gently hums.

"Ex-excuse me, what's...what's the Chuunin exams?" She spoke up towards one of the civilians who turned and look at her, ready to speak with a polite look on their faces. Before one of the other Genin from the rock team. Approach near the Kurotsuchi girl, while having two fingers grabbing her ear. Causing her to wince and cry out in pain, being scolded at the same time.

"Chuunin exams is a competition that brings forth, the strongest of ninja's around the elemental nations. To one place, in order to compete and show their skills and abilities, while also showing if they have what it takes to becoming Chuunin." A rough and slightly smug tone voice announced. Making Hinata to turn her attention towards the two, while grimacing at the sight of the young girl. Trying desperately to pull the young boy's hand away from her ear. "Everyone knows or has learned about the Chuunin exams, it is nature to be informed about it." Said the stoic boy, who was now glaring at Hinata. Making the girl to harden her eyes, "seems like the Leaf doesn't inform everyone do they..." Though he paused and took a look at her arm.

"OR, maybe you just returned from quite the brutal mission?" He guessed and watches the girl nodding in response to his deduction. The young boy breathes lightly and shrugs, "Guess that means your pretty weak. If your not able to keeping yourself from getting brutally injured like that." Then grunts when Kurotsuchi, had enough of his tugging on her ear and elbows him in the gut!

Causing him to hunch over lightly and glares at her, which she responded by blowing raspberries at him. "Fuck off! You don't know if the situation she was in, hell! All we know she may have fought someone really powerful!" Exclaimed the girl and huffs, gently and carefully rubbing her ear. "Jeez Mashi, you seriously almost tore my ear off!" Growled the girl, while then shaking her head.

"Please, you would have broken free either way." Muttered the boy as he then turns towards Hinata once more, looking over the girl lightly and analyzing her skills. "What is your name?" He asked, while crossing his arms and then snorts, "And don't bother retorting of asking for my name, Kurotsuchi already gave it out...so no reason, for me to repeat myself or her right?"

"Why do I get a Neji vibe from this ass... Great, as if I need another person in my life to causing me problems or being ignorant." Hinata thought to herself, "My name is Hinata, Hinata Hyuga. Though I have never heard of the Chuunin exams, is it alright for your team?" Then blinks her eyes when the two, while a third member of their team. Brought out what seems to be passports.

"Not to worry Hyuga-san, we brought our papers along with our Jonin sensei." Informed the third party member, while adjusting his silver color hair, at the same time adjusting his headband that seems to constantly, sliding down to his eyes. "It is quite an honor to be brought here and participating in your village-" Then gets interrupted by Mashi, who lightly slaps the back of his head.

"Can it, we don't need to be grateful to the Leaf. Not what their fourth Hokage did to our army years ago." Growled Mashi, though groans when he got elbowed once more bu Kurotsuchi and then got back handed to the face by the girl, who got up from her chair and grins widely.

"Ah don't worry about old kill joy here! The past is the past, much as we do have animosity towards your village and what your previous Hokage did, does not mean!" Then spreads her arm out happily. "We should take it out on the current generations of Ninja's right, Aoishi?" She beamed towards her third teammate, who smiled and nods in response.

The crowd who had gather and watched the display of this Rock Genin, kicking butt in arm wrestling has finally died down and went back to doing their own thing. Leaving Hinata, with the three of them. "So Hinata, where or how did you get that injury if you don't mind us asking?" Aoishi asked softly, inviting the girl to lunch with them after hearing her stomach.

Growling up a storm and crying out to be fed, which had Hinata trying with modesty in her voice, they didn't need to invite her. Only for Kurotsuchi to somewhat force her into the restaurant and then having her sitting down on a nearby chair, "Nonsense! You need to eat Hinata and the way your stomach is growling out and protesting?" The girl then giggled, while sitting down in her seat and rocks it a bit, "tells me you would not even last long, heading back to your home. Now..." then throws herself forward and slams her hands on the table!

Making Hinata to jump a bit and then sweat dropped, of this girl's blunt like personality. "Who did you fight and defeated, in order getting that injury! Was it a strong opponent, was it a wild flocks of Honey Beaver bears!?" She asked, constantly moving forward more and more on the table. "Or did you and your team fought some rogue ninja, with incredibly super powerful ninjutsu and you had to almost sacrifice your arm! In saving one of your teammates from danger!"

Mashi just scoffed and accepts his plate, without really thanking the waiter. Who went and placed the other members plates down. With Aoishi thanking the waiter, though took slight notice of his hesitation near Hinata? Then again, when you have your teammate literally touching foreheads with the blue hair girl's own...I too will be cautious in case something happens.

"Err...erm, that is to say..." Hinata began stuttering out and stammering her sentences, while then sheepishly closing her eyes. "Mind...moving back a bit?" She asked and then deadpan when Kurotsuchi just shook her head and was determined, to staying in that position. With their foreheads touching; so she can get an answer from Hinata. "Well...I honestly can't really remember." She said softly, getting the three to blink their eyes and the female rock ninja, pulled away lightly.

"What?" She asked while tilting her head. As if that is the strangest thing she has ever heard! "You can't remember where you got the injury... That is kind of stupid." She muttered and plops herself back onto her seat, crossing her arms. "I mean how can you not remember?"

Hinata giggled softly, "Believe me...I am in the same boat, it is odd for me not to remember. Even my own teammates can't recall either," She then hums and gently rubs her one hand against her sling arm shoulders. "Though whatever it came from, I am recovering from it slowly. So no need to fuss about it, right?" She then sweat dropped from Mashi, once again scoffing and tears a bit of his bread apart.

"Please," He scowled his face and began dipping his bread, into the broth of his food. "Have to be pathetic not to know where your injuries came from, you passed out from the injury being to serious on you and probably failed your mission, because of said injury. While crying or whining of how much that has been bothering you..." He then click his tongue, "here I thought Hyuga's are suppose to be one of the strongest clan of the Hidden leaf!"

"Hey Mashi, back off!" Kurotsuchi growled out and grabs his shirt collar, though the boy did not phase from the motion. "If she doesn't remember, she doesn't remembered!" Then thrust a thumb at the girl. "She even said her teammates, don't even know where they got their OWN injuries as well...or you tuned that part out huh!" Then throws him into the chair, making him to lightly leer and adjusting his clothing.

Aoishi just sighs and shake his head, while ruffling his spiky silver hair a bit, while then silently apologizing towards Hinata. Who waved it off, saying it is quite alright, "but if you can't remember where you got the injury," he began saying and began cutting his steak. "Think you recall who you were fighting that has got you, this type of injury?"

Which Hinata went ahead and leans on her chair, humming lightly and shifting her whisker marks lightly, getting the three to blink curiously at them. With a light blush coming from Kurotsuchi thinking if they were real or not? "Well...there was Zabuza." This had couple of plates and silverware, scattering about and falling on top of people's plates! Mostly from the three in front of her.

"Zabuza..." Kurotsuchi then blew raspberries and throwing her hands up, "You're pulling our leg! Why would someone like Zabuza, be messing with a bunch of Genin!?" She exclaimed, laughing and giggling lightly. "Seriously, who did you fight?"

"Zabuza," Hinata just stated bluntly, trying hard to keep the smile from creeping on her face. Now she understand why Shikamaru and Asuma, told her it be funny to seeing people's reactions. If she were to tell them who she fought.

"Come on stop joking," This time it was Mashi who said it. "Someone weak like you, would never be under his radar, or his team. So tell the truth, who did you fight." He demanded and was losing his patience with this girl. Who is she kidding, she actually believe she went and fought Zabuza and won?

"I am being quite serious." Hinata stated once more, getting a smile on her face now. Which definitely has peaked the three Genin's interests, while wondering if she was telling the truth. "He is tall, wear cargo gray color long pants, has bandages over his face and wields a large broadsword. With a hole near the tip of the blade. And his last name being Momochi."

"THAT'S HIM! HOLY SHIT!" All three shouted and bulged their eyes wide, shooting off from their seats. Even Machi was in complete shock, no one...Not even someone like Zabuza, who is one of the seven swordsman of the mist? Will be fighting and willing to take on bunch of Genins! There has to be a reasoning behind his actions and why, he will be willing to fight. Even someone like this girl in front of him, she doesn't look all that powerful or hell, even strong to begin with.

Kurotsuchi and Aoishi seem to have beaten him to the punch, after sitting down and shifting his eye left to right thinking it over. Stares up towards Hinata, watching the two teammates of his, asking and questioning if she had anyone important on her team or even a strong sensei? "Maybe the sensei...no doubt her sensei is what caused to be concern for the missing ninja." The boy thought.

"O-oh um...well, well I don't think I should say." Hinata stated and got Kurotsuchi whining and puffing her cheeks out, "I mean, we-we just met and you are..." Hinata moved a opened palm and laughed wit h the three of them, even Mashi had to smile and close his eyes. She is right...they're not really friends or know each other all that well.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please!" Kurotsuchi began begging and even started climbing on top of the table, not caring at all about the slight mess she is going to be making. Having some of the villagers and ninjas, in the shop to stare dubiously at the young ninja. Who was getting rather close to Hinata, even softly touching the heiress's shoulders! "PLEASE! I beg you the wait and patience of seeing your sensei, will kill me!" And then looks at her arm. "Is it because the arm, the arm is making you act like this!" She stated playfully.

Making Hinata to giggle and shake her head, "no-no. It is more of I will get in trouble from my sensei and possibly teammates...if." Which Aoishi nods with a soft smile. Quite enjoying this girl's presence and attitude greatly! Definitely different from the stares and looks they were getting from the villagers.

Mashi snort, "Better tell her Hinata, trust me." He lift his head and smirk and nudge at the teammate. Who began swaying and waving her rear left to right, like a cat waiting to pounce. "She can be quite forceful, whenever someone keeps something from her," He then whisper that she has nothing to worry about and began drinking his juice.

Which Hinata, turn her gaze at the pleading girl who went and gave the upper lower lip and began bubbling her eyes, giving the puppy dog look. Getting the young ninja to sweat drop and giggle, "Well..guess giving his-his name wouldn't hurt." Then heard Kurotsuchi shouting yes with her arm pumping, while then lowering her upper body and placed her hands against her chin. Raising her rear higher in her position, making Aoishi and Mashi to look away with shakes of their head.

"So, who is your sensei?" And then proceeds to hit the table with her chin, bulging her eyes wide and then squeaked! From feeling the juice Mashi was drinking, being spit out from his mouth and right into her butt! While Aoishi began choking and gagging over his ribs, causing him to punch and pound against his chest!

From Hinata saying, "My-my-my sensei is Kakashi Hatake." While laughing and giggling lightly at all of their reactions, while feeling bit sorry for Kurotsuchi getting her rear soaked by Mashi's spit. "You...all okay?" She asked while then shrinking her seat, when Kurotsuchi stood up from the table and bends down right in front of her face, almost looking silly with Hinata head trying to hide into her coat.

"YOUR JONIN SENSEI IS THE COPY NINJA KAKASHI!? My Kami, no wonder you will get someone's attention like Zabuza!" Screamed the girl, who then proceeds to jump off the table and lands on the table next to the girl, while then pulling her close and gently wraps an arm over Hinata's shoulder. Moving a hand up as if a coach, "okay, okay so... You and your team can't remembered where you got your injuries, the last thing your team remember doing, was fighting against Zabuza...At the land of waves," She asked quickly which she got a nod from Hinata. Making Kurotsuchi to nod with her, while Mashi began calming down and pounding against his chest.

"You think...you've gotten your arm broken during the fight with the man?" She asked, then hummed when Hinata shook her head. "Oh..?"

"Yeah," Hinata then lightly grabs onto Kurotsuchi hand from her shoulder, over her head and chuckle very softly. "Cause Zabuza, didn't fight me, my teammates during the battle on the bridge. He fought my sensei, while we went and fought his well..." She wasn't sure if she should say adoptive daughter or not? "Ally?"

Mashi hums and folds his hands and began drumming his fingers, "this is quite...peculiar." He stated openly and then chuckles, "well then miss Hinata." He then stood up and lightly presses his hands against the table, smiling at her. "It will be quite interesting of how things will turn out in the Exams.:" Then extends his arm out for a handshake. "Hinata-san, I hope you don't disappoint in the exams. Will like to face you, especially if someone like Zabuza and his partner, were quite interested in you." And with that he went and began stepping out of the restaurant. "Aoishi, Kurotsuchi come! Our sensei is waiting for us at our hotel..." Then stops and shifts his head at the Hyuga heiress, "I look forward to seeing what the leaf has to offer. Ja-ne." And with that he left from the restaurant and into the crowded streets of Konoha.

Making Aoishi and Kurotsuchi to huff a bit with the girl, blowing air into her bangs and stood up. "Alright then, you take care of that arm you hear?" Kurotsuchi giggled, while gently placing it on the girl's injured shoulder. "I suggest going to the Hot springs alright," she grinned. "It will relax the muscles and making it easier to recovering from the stress."

"I-I will," Hinata replied and then giggles when the girl began walking backwards. Then began jumping over some of the table, giving chase to her partner Mashi. Making Hinata to just shake her head lightly at the goofy rock Genin, while then looking over at Aoishi who was next to walking out and following right behind his two teammates and smiling.

"I apologize for my team's slight rudeness and bluntness, Hinata." He bow to her and saw her waving it off and smiling, while he then goes bowing to the owner. "Owner san." He said, which the owner also chuckled and laughs in happiness.

"You kidding, come any time! Love the company and energy, gets quite boring here sometime. And would love to learn more about that arm wrestling technique from your friend there, but hey." Then waves his hands up and places them back on the counter. "Despite the differences, I enjoy the visit and presence of Rock ninja. What was that recipe..." He began wagging his finger.

"O-oh, the Sushi on Marinade sauce chicken broth! It is one of the delicacy in Land of Cloud!" Aoishi informed with a smile, glad to seeing a restaurant owner being interested in something like that. "Okay then, see ya and hope you all have a fun month." And heads on out shouting, "Wait for me Mashi, Kurotsuchi! I don't want to get lost again, just because you two are in a rush!" Yelled the boy, making Hinata and the owner to laugh and shake their heads.

The owner then turned and looks at Hinata, "Hey..." Which had her shaking a bit and turning towards the owner with bit fear. "Anytime your hungry Hinata, or need a quick bite to eat? I'm always open," He smiled. "Something about you...you give this amazing aura about yourself! So yeah, you are welcome to come any time and please, take that girl's advice to heart." He said and began wiping down a bowl, grinning. "The hot springs will do wonders on the arm, try the herbal essence wash. No doubt will make the pain go away for the bones."

"Of course...t..thank you." Hinata said softly and felt almost hot tears about to break through her eyes. "Then, then I must pay for," Though hum when she saw money on the table and little winking face, on a piece of paper with the words written out 'we paid for ya!' No doubt was Kurotsuchi writing. Making Hinata to smile and getting up form her seat and bows. "Thank you for the hospitality!" And heads on out of the restaurant.

"Anytime! Have a safe trip back Hinata!" Shouted the owner and shook his head, as he goes and leans on the counter, taking some orders from people. Though when the girl headed on out and began walking into the streets, while coming to a stop in order to figuring out where she is?

Caught attention to an individual, who was munching down on some candy and dangos, leans back from where she was standing and blushes at the sight of the girl's face, the whiskers attraction her attention greatly and eye smiled. Humming in delight and began following right after Hinata, without alerting her teammates who were ordering themselves, some food. Then nearly dropped them when they were one member short, causing them to panic a bit and began running in all directions!

Xxx

After that interesting conversation between some rock ninjas and their curiosity of how or where Hinata got her injuries? Had quite the fun time watching their reactions. Towards Hinata answering them about fighting Zabuza and his ally, or Haku in her case. Since she didn't want to reveal the girl's name towards the three of them, it was quite fun hanging out with them!

Granted... Rock and Leaf ninjas aren't exactly friendly with one another. But Kurotsuchi is correct, just because the newer generation of ninja's knows or heard about the third great ninja war, with the fourth Hokage? Does not mean they have to be asses and jerks towards the Leaf, just because of something happening nearly 13 or 16 years ago. This had Hinata smiling lightly as she walks down the roads of the clan district, or least...one road over from the ninja district of the Leaf village.

The looks and stares she was getting were back and at full force, but they won't be bothering her now. Not after having quite the fun time with the rock ninjas and...somewhat peaceful time with Team Asuma. Hell, the longer it takes her to not going home and avoiding all contact with Elders or her father, the better. The young heiress seriously did not want to be look down on or being told, how much of a disgrace she is to the Hyuga clan, bad enough that the house is divided into main branch and half branches...with the half branch having the Cage bird seal marked on their foreheads and having to live in fear, from someone activating the seals and harming them badly, which had her mood turning sour a bit.

That is one of the things she wants to try and change in the future, in order to become strong and brave enough to break this curse the family is living on. She never understood why it is that the half branch, are marked with such seals, yet the main branch. Aren't concern or worry about themselves losing their eyes! The girl sighs lightly as she continue to walk, passing by different sized buildings and moving between some of the people, who did not bother to move out of her way or purposely bumping right into her!

Making her hiss and stops a few times when her arm, got hit hard by someone's elbow or brushing against her sling arm. Which promptly having the heiress to glare at the people, while rubbing the arm gently. Then hums and blink her eyes wide open... She could've swore she saw someone following her and then quickly diving towards the side, in a building or behind some sign posts. How she knows? Well... the villagers were giving weird looks in the direction, of where she might've saw someone following her.

Hinata was daring to use her Byakugan and see who it is. But grunts when the crowd were beginning to becoming to much, as the streets were becoming more active and having a ton of civilians and ninja's becoming active during the afternoon. Forcing Hinata, to forget about whoever it was following her and continued forward, finding someplace to go and sit down at and take a small break from all this walking and evading of going home.

Causing a young girl, who was following Hinata to pop her head out from behind a street post. Blinking her eyes curiously at the young Hyuga girl. Who was hurrying herself through the large crowd of people, watching some of them purposely hitting the young blue hair girl, with enough force to make her lose her balance or purposely hurting the injured arm of hers. Making the girl to harden her look and becoming even more interested in young Hinata. She immediately darts out from her hiding spot, causing her somewhat large breasts to fling about when she slides out into the open!

Causing her white karate outfit to swing along with her breasts, forcing to revealing her large cleavage and bouncing around, with her yellow ribbon. Flying up and down with her long red pony tail hair, with her black sandals digging into the ground, with one hand touching said ground. Before darting forward and following Hinata once more through the village! While trying to keep herself conceal within the crowd and surrounding area of the village. Even then leaping over some fences, but yelps out in surprise without looking, followed by a loud splash of water!

Making Hinata who was coming to a cross road, turn herself fully around and began darting her eyes everywhere to figuring out what caused the noise. Definitely female she thought and raise her defenses some more, by standing her ground and began walking silently in the direction behind her. Where the splash could be heard along with some thrashing about, making her wonder if someone...Jump the gate without realizing that there is a large lake behind said wooden fence? Making Hinata to start walking forward and stare at the large fence, wondering who it was that is struggling and thrashing about in the lake. Making her curious if she should go and check out whats happening, though before she could go and check it out.

Hinata nearly jumps out of her skin and shoes, when she heard a voice calling out to her! "Onee-chaaan!" And then a blur running right into Hinata, causing the girl to whine out in pain and then began laughing and chuckling, when she felt the familiar head rubbing themselves deeply into her clothed breasts, hugging her in a vice grip, it was Hanabi! "Nee-chan, nee-chan!" Giggled the girl happily and lifts her head out from her sisters boobs, smiling up at her with playfulness in her lavender eyes, "I miss you, you were gone for a long, long time!" She exclaimed and rests her cheek against Hinata chest once more sighing in content. "You know how boring it was without you being home..." she then blinked her eyes and gave a low huh, blinking her eyes curiously at the weird bandage on her sister's arm.

"So-sorry Hanabi-chan," Hinata began saying and gently hugs Hanabi in return, wiggling her fingers against the young girl's underarms. Having her twitch and flinch underneath her sisters hands, "The mission was a lot longer than intended. But I am here now, so you don't have to worry." She then pulls back and stares down at the girl. "But where is your guide Hanabi, I thought father has told you many-many times. To never leave or go out of your guides eyesight, especially out in the village." The older sister chided and gently brushes the young girl's hair lightly, getting Hanabi to puff her cheeks and closed her eyes in defiance.

"I don't need a guide all the time..." She whined and smacks her sister hand from her hair, while grinning up to her. "I am strong sister, you don't have to worry!" Then beams wider while pumping her arms happily, "besides...All I was doing is hanging out at the playground, which let's be real here." Then gave a playful smile, thumbing down the left four way street. "The Hyuga clan estate is only ten minutes away from the park...Though I can see, you are lost per usual." Teased the young girl, making Hinata to sigh lightly and shook her head. Honestly, she has a reason for not going home immediately that, and well...she has suffer an injury and the villagers were making it quite difficult. Traversing through these streets with their constant bumping into her.

The girl who was following Hinata, managed to recover and getting herself out of the lake waters. Climbing at the top of the fence, with one hand each slapping hard into the brown wooden fence. Having water dripping down the fence, while she mutters and mumbles about how heavy her boobs were making her. Asking herself of why gravity seems to always fight against her, whenever they become wet? Even though it's mostly her karate suit that is making her heavy not her breasts. She nearly revealed herself when she saw the blue hair Kunoichi, with a smaller version of herself but with brown hair.

"Still Hanabi," The red hair girl overheard. "You should not be out here without a guide or someone, watching over you." Informed Hinata as she goes nudging her head, towards a nearby bench. Figuring that she been standing and walking a good long time and needed to sit, enjoying the spring breeze blowing throughout the fork road, with her and Hanabi's hair blowing with the wind. "And besides..."

"Please, I am strong." Hanabi retorted while plopping herself down on the bench, crossing her arms underneath her somewhat none-existing breasts. Which she grins, "I have been growing a lot over the years and almost going be stronger than you, when you were only a child!" Which she playfully went and cup her very small breasts, pushing them upward. "After all, I am growing into a lady like you!"

Which had the red hair girl giggling to herself, at how open the young one was about her features. Saying how she is becoming strong, because her assets are growing. "Like yours Hinata, which honestly hope one day to be like you!" Giggled Hanabi and then burst out in laughter, when the blush on Hinata's face was deep red and then closed her eyes, with her one eyebrow twitching.

Then thrashed about when Hinata, moves over at her and began wiggling her fingers all over the young girl! "Hanabi, it isn't-isn't like that! Strength is not determined, determined by how-how big your assets are!" Stutter the blushing Heiress, as she goes and wiggling her hands and fingers all over the young sister. Who laughs and chokes out couple of lost breath, trying her best to breaking free from Hinata! "Honestly, where did you get the idea of being strong, by just your assets!" Asked the embarrassed girl, who stopped tickling her sister and yelps when her sibling, managed to kick into her arm! Causing Hinata to recoil back with a snap and began hissing and rubbing her arm.

"OH-Oh sorry, sorry!" Hanabi quickly said after awhile from her laughing fit and sat upright. "Did...did?" She asked and felt tears beginning to break through her eyes, "Damn it Hanabi, look what you did to nee-chan! You gone and hurt her, now...now she's...she's."

"Dang...that is some strength Hanabi." Hinata winced an eye open and smiled at her sister. "I, I can even feel how strong you are just from the kick." And then extends her hand out. While retracting it lightly when her sister suddenly squeaked and closed her eyes tightly, moving away from her sister's hand. Which had the heiress to tilt her head confusingly...and then let out a low ah, "Hanabi-chan you did not hurt me." She assured her and placing a hand on her head, making the young girl to open her eyes softly.

"I...I didn't?" Hanabi asked softly, while tilting her head up and felt a line of hair going in front of her right eye, sniffing lightly. "You-you sure?" Asked the young girl who rubs her eyes and then gave a cute smiling blush on her face, when Hinata leans down and touches forehead with her sister.

"Of course, besides..." Then laughed happily and moves her arm very lightly. "This was already like this after my mission, it is recovering though." Smiled Hinata and pulls back from the girl, right after giving her kiss on the forehead. "Anyway," she then stuttered lightly and gently places a hand on her own lap, drumming her fingers lightly as Hanabi. Smiled and calmed down from earlier, thinking she hurt her sister...though was glad to hear how she did not hurt her at all! Which lifted the weight off from her shoulders, as she goes and kicking her legs cutely up and down next to her sister. "Where...where did you learn that, that your strength is determined?" Hinata stuttered very badly of her sentence.

Making their spectator to grin with a blush, enjoying the cute scene in front of her as she goes and adjust herself on the fence. Making sure that her boobs, were over the fence and not pressing into it, causing them to bounce and jiggling about, when she lifted up over it and sat on top of the fence. Hearing Hanabi, which she heard the sisters talking, giggling happily and goes leaning forward.

"Because of you! Duh!" Hanabi bluntly said, while she goes reaching over and pats her sister's right breast, "I mean how else to determine how strong you are! When your boobs are this big, despite hiding under that large coat of yours!" She grinned and leans back, after watching her older sister yelping and scolding the girl for touching her like that. "I mean look at my own boobs, they must be growing from me getting stronger!" Giggled the girl, earning another large blush from Hinata. Who was stammering and trying hard to speak up or telling the young girl it isn't like that! Nor that is how you can determine someones strength, just by how their boobs or...well assets are being big that determines someone strength.

"Well..." Hanabi then stares down at herself and then lets go of her shirt. "I always, always thought you were strong because, well." She then sheepishly rubs the back of her head, sticking her tongue out. "You seemed to have quite the fast growth than I do, and you began gaining them at the age of 10!" She exclaimed happily in a teasing tone, making Hinata to widen her eyes and then quickly covering herself with her arms. Well, best she could earning some more laughter from young Hanabi, who rocked back and forth. "Oh come on sis, it isn't that bad! I mean...no doubt you have a lot of boys, admiring you and looking in your direction!"

"HANABI!" Hinata yelled out and shoves her sister off the bench, which the girl just let out a oomph and fell onto her left side, smirking and laughing out loud. "You...you need to stop!"

Then sweat dropped when the girl just raised a hand above the bench, forming a mouth with said hand. "Hey not my fault if my sister, is quite beautiful looking!" Hanabi stated, while opening and closing her hand and then having it face at her. "Besides, you will be one hell of a looker if you allow yourself to grow!" Teased Hanabi, making Hinata to gasp even louder and becoming even redder, as she goes and hugs her coat tighter into her body. Groaning lightly from the strain she is putting in her injured arm, which had her whimpering lightly.

While the hand Hanabi has lifted, curled in lightly to show worry and slaps onto the bench. Then lifts herself up and looks at Hinata with concerned...Though smiled. "Ah, you are so easy to tease!" Joked the girl while lifting off from the ground and dusted off her gray shirt and pants, hopping onto the bench and then looks at her sister. "So...what will you be doing now Hinata?" Hanabi asked while tilting her head, figuring there was another reason why she isn't returning her home.

"Hmm..." Hinata hum and then looks at the younger sibling, "I think will probably go to the Hospital and ask them, to fixing..." though before she could finish and scrounging up her face in thought. Causing the whisker marks on her face, to move upward and then downward. Getting both the red hair girl and Hanabi, faces to blush and smiling quite fondly at how cute the girl looks...then alerted Hanabi and Hinata to the red girl's presence, when she accidentally leaned to far forward.

"What the- whoa-whoaaa!" Then proceeds flailing her arms in all directions! Forcing her breasts to swing in all directions and slapping against one another, which she then clench her cheeks, threw her arms high above her head and having quite the serious focus on her expression. Which she then felt her body, tilting forward some more and falls right off the top of the fence, which had Hinata closing her eyes from the impact and twitching.

While Hanabi leans her head back with one eye closed, sucking in a lot of air and then said, "Ouch...that had to hurt. Especially face first." Muttered the young girl bluntly, while blushing a bit when she paid attention to how one of the girl's boobs, some how popped out from her karate shirt and flattening against the ground, even the nipple can be seen lightly. Which had her blushing redder and then looks down at her own chest, proceeding to lift her hands and gently pats against them and pouted with her cheeks puffing. "Seriously, someone is as strong as Hinata-nee-chan? Thought she was the only one with big boobs..." Whined Hanabi, who crossed her arms, she honestly did wish that was the case and her sister. Will one day show the village how powerful she really are, after all...that is what the dango eating snake lady said at the sweet shop!

Bigger boobs mean Kunoichi are quite powerful, which she then eyed her sister. "Though why does Nee-chan say otherwise, stating that isn't the case?" Then looks at the girl who fell. "Her boobs are huge, so it must mean she is powerful right? Test her strengths in the exams right...OH!"

She then widen her eyes and turned to Hinata with a wide smile, "Oh Hinata-chan are you going to enter the Chuunin Exams next week?" Exclaimed the young girl, making Hinata to turn at her and then back to the recovering falling girl, who was coughing and spitting out some dirt from her mouth. While swiping some away from her mouth, watching her boobs dangling about with one of them out in the open. As she gently goes and grabs it and stuffing it back, into her shirt.

Making Hinata to turn away from that moment and hums, "I..." while shifting her eyes down at Hanabi. Giving the red hair girl some privacy, as she goes and adjust her clothes. "I don't know Hanabi...I haven't thought about it." Hummed the heiress. Making Hanabi to tilt her head in curiosity. Wondering why it is that her sister didn't want to enter the Chuunin exams this year?

"How come Nee-chan, you will be great in the exams along with your team!" Hanabi then paused while humming lightly, thinking over the things Hinata told her about her teammates. "Well...at least, you and probably Sasuke will do well. But no doubt, you all will be amazing!" She then threw her arms outward with a big smile. "I mean come on. My big sister has done so many missions, trained very hard and worked hard. No way something like this. Will make her back down now, right!" Giggled the girl while folding her hands behind her back, rocking her heels and toe.

Hinata on the other hand, was having second thoughts about the matter. Making her eyes shift away from the young sibling; forcing her to think over her situation as well not wanting to upset the young girl over her decision. "Plus," she then tentatively touches her wrist. Wincing from the pain shooting through her arm, "this injury I have won't be recovering any time soon, especially when the exams begin. I would be a hindrance and a reliability to the team."

The red hair girl who after getting up, dusting and sweeping the dirt off from her arms and clothes. Bent down and then lifted her head up, watching the two sisters speaking to one another. Watching the subtle movements Hinata was giving, while eyeing her arm. Making the red hair to look left and right, then back at the girl. Raising her hand up to her mouth, clearing her throat and lifts a finger, "I...I could be some help there if you don't mind." She suddenly spoke, alerting the sisters. Which had stopped Hanabi, who was leaning forward and siding her head. Stop from egging Hinata about why she seems hesitant, to look over at the red hair and fully tilts her head completely too the side.

Even Hinata blinked her eyes and lightly scrunch her whisker marks upwards, when they heard the girl speaking. "Eheh, I may not look like it but...I, I know a way to help fix your arm. If that is what's making you having a hard time deciding rather or not. You're going to the exams right?" She said with a smile and folding her hands together, which then had her forearms squishing and pushing her boobs against one another. Revealing quite the large and eye full cleavage. Making Hanabi to lower her mouth a bit and whispering to herself, of how that was even possible?!

"You...you can?" Hinata asked lightly, not entirely sure if she does know how to heal it or not. "But-but you, I mean," then sighs. "I don't want to waste your time doing something trivial like healing my arm." She informed and watches the red hair, karate outfit wearing girl marching her way over with her arms swinging forward and back.

Making her boobs bounce without restriction, causing the two Hyuga's siblings to stare openly at how the girl was brave of not wearing a bra at all! Even having to distract themselves from said assets, with Hanabi turning around and looking bit weeping as she goes, patting her semi-flat body while mouthing the words "boin, boin?" While then closing her eyes with irritation and slightly annoyed expression.

"YUP!" Said the bouncing girl who hops right in front of Hinata, while then leaning forward. "I have a technique that will always, always does the job," Then sheepishly rubs the back of her head. "But it usually...well, causes pain. But only temporary!" She quickly added while doing the jazz hands motion and then pose with a happy cheer.

"Names Sakura, Sakura Sydai!" She informed making Hinata to lightly sweat dropped. "But pronounce Sakura, with a C and you get Sacura!" Which had both siblings blinking their eyes and impressed at the creativity there. Which helps them out greatly, since Hinata's one teammate is named Sakura Haruno.

"Uh-um, nice to meet you Sakura." Hinata replied while tilting her head cutely. "My-my name is Hinata Hyuga and this here is my sister, Hanabi Hyuga." She introduced the two while moving her hand over to her sister, whose lavender eyes were just staring and tilts lightly. Having her brown hair move in front of her left eye and covering them.

"Oh, boob-san? How are you able to keep them in your shirt? I just don't understand, mph mph!" Hanabi then got a hand slapped to her mouth, as she continued speaking and gesturing with her hands at Sakura's asset. With Hinata trying to quiet her and scolding her of how rude that was! Even trying her best to stop Hanabi. From moving her hands and wiggling her fingers about, emphasizing how jiggly the girls breasts and were doing a groping motion. Which were unsuccessfully being stop by Hinata, who was doing a poor job of using one hand to covering her mouth, while using the same one to stopping her gestures. Which give Hanabi time to continue speaking.

Making Sakura...well she was doing her hardest not to laugh and bust a gut! These two were hilarious and even more so, with how blunt the younger sister was! Making the karate wearing girl. Laugh and giggling uncontrollably of Hinata, trying her hardest to keeping her sister from being rude and decided to go ahead and bops the younger girl on the head. Which resulted Hanabi to whine and brought both hands, up to her head and glares at her sister with a tear drop.

"So-sorry-" Hinata tried to say while bowing down, even forcing Hanabi to bow her head down too. Making her to grunt and huff lightly, while rolling her eyes and muttered.

"I doubt she didn't mind me asking, oomph!" Receiving an elbow to the gut, had her sighing annoyingly, while bowing in respect and apologizing too Sakura. "Sorry for asking a personal and probably embarrassing question. I don't know what I was doing," Hanabi said sarcastically with a grin. Making Hinata to hang her head down in defeat. Seems like Hanabi was in the whole 'teasing and making my sister embarrassed mood' day.

Earning couple more laughter and fits of giggles from Sakura, which she finally calmed down from and had to wipe her eyes from any tears. "Please, please...no need just, just stop making me laugh!" She giggled out and even went touching their chins, lifting both girls head up and steps back. "I am quite alright with the question there, now normally I would be embarrassed and not saying anything from the questions." She stated while then grinning, placing her fists onto her hips. "But you two are quite comfortable to hang around, there was no reason for me to feel embarrassed about myself!" She then cleared her throat. "Anyway, Hanabi let's just say I had...somewhat a growth spurt faster than most girls of my age-" She then paused and shifted her eyes playfully to Hinata's chest.

"Though something tells me, I ain't the only one." She teased out, making Hinata to blush tomato red and quickly tries covering herself up and shouting at her to knock it off!

"I KNOW RIGHT!" Screamed Hanabi with excitement and threw her arms apart, while tugging them close to herself, "that is what I told Hinata and even said, she might have caught a lot boy's attentions! But noo", she rolled her head. Then thumbs at her sister, "Bashful here is too shy to admit the truth or being proud of her body, she wears a large coat to hide her best features." Then leans close with one hand raised to her mouth, which had Sakura leaning in and tilting her head, "Between you and me, I think her beautiful face is what makes one be attracted too." Which Hanabi winks.

Getting Hinata who was behind the two. Stare disbelieving at her sister and began feeling darkness creeping up to her with a little storm cloud, forming above her head. "She...is just too much, Hanabi. When did you become such a teasing sister, let alone a supporting one at that." Hinata thought to herself and decided to turn away and walk on over to the bench. Seeing how both Hanabi and Sakura, were hitting it off greatly and began going into a discussion to which Hinata, did not wanted to be in.

After couple of minutes went by- "I am so sorry! I was telling you about a technique, that may heal your arm. But got so caught up with talking to your sister. It slipped my mind!" Said the red hair girl apologetically while bowing down and up in apologies, giving quite the show of how bouncy her large boobs were. Making Hanabi having new respect for her older sister now, along with why it is she wears such big clothes.

Her discussion and conversation with Sakura, had informed the young girl. About how bad it can be to having large boobs, telling her and reminding her that. IT can actually cause back pains when you least expect it. Making you somewhat top heavy and can even force you, adjust your balance whenever you walk, run or even jumping up into tree branches or forest areas...or just in generally!

Now Hanabi did question and asked why she doesn't bother wearing a bra, only to get her answer when Sakura blushed and looked away sheepishly. Saying how despite it or not, the bras around her age aren't the right sizes or even quite small that, even wearing the adult sizes? Will feel to loose on her, which had Hanabi asking why that is and got the response of. "They don't sell those sizes to children, nor will they ever think of selling it to us. Hence why, I don't wear one."

Which had Hanabi looking towards Hinata, "Now I understand why you wear a large coat nee-san. I too will be quite embarrassed and worry about not finding the right size bra. You have new respect for me sis." Then shook her head, "Yeah Sakura, what is this technique?" The young girl asked kicking her legs up and down on the bench, "you said it will hurt but then it won't...what does that mean?"

This had Hinata nodding though having quite the suspicion of what that means...Breaking the bones back into place, which means- "Oh, I will be popping her muscles and bones back into their places." Sakura informed while smiling sheepishly and crossing her arms. "Now, it will hurt but once the muscles are back into place when the bones pop? It will instantaneously send a relief and relaxation throughout your entire arm!" She beamed, which she walks up to Hinata and carefully having her standing up. "Now, I need you to stand up and get into position while I go-"

"Wait-wait-wait-wait! Shouldn't I be more...KYAAAA!" Hinata screamed at the top of her lungs, when she felt her arm being forcibly out of her sling bandage! Scaring Hanabi greatly, who flailed her arms and fell backwards and onto the ground, while then quickly throwing herself back up with her arm over the bench. "AAAAH, it doesn't BEEEEND!" Hinata screamed some more, when she felt her arm being twisted and forcing onto her back.

With Sakura having quite the serious and focus look in her eyes! Even having her foot start pushing against Hinata's back, "Not to worry! You know...you have quite a lot of knots and stressing muscles on you Hinata." She casually said, then pushes her back inward and forced Hinata chest to push out. Causing her eyes to bulge wide with serious pain and screamed even louder, from the pain and having her bang throw up into the air.

"N...N...Nee-chan?" Hanabi asked with a shaky tone, scared of what's happening in front of her. Watching this stranger, doing things to her sister that isn't humanly possible! "You...you, you will be okay! I-I-I'm here!" She said and went to move forward, but falls backward when she saw Sakura. Grabbing Hinata into a choke hold, forcing her arm upward and then bending the elbow in a dangerous fashion!

"Jeez, your body is definitely tense-" Sakura said and then bends Hinata upper body downward, with her arm still being pulled upward. Earning more cracks and pops to be heard, making the scene and sounds...uncomfortable for Hanabi that the girl felt woozy and even passed out, from watching her sister being man handled!

What surprising before she passed out or lost conscious for a short period. Was surprised no ninja's or Anbu are coming to investigate the noises and screams being echoed out! Making the young girl pondered in her out cold state, of where everyone is? Though the screams and wails along with cries of pain, did attracted one person!

Who was sulking and walking down one of the streets in a miserable state. From being shot down and being told she is quite annoying, towards the one person she highly admires: Sasuke Uchiha. The screamed echoed into her ear and force the pink hair Kunoichi, to shoot her head up and whip her attention down the wooden fence road! "H-Hinata...HINATA! Don't worry I'm coming!" shouted the Kunoichi as she goes and grabs a blunt kunai from her weapon pouch and began dashing through the streets! Pumping chakra down into her feet and cartwheeling sharp turns, whenever she comes across a cross road. Listening and pinpointing where her cries were coming from!

"Please stop...stop!" Hinata cried out and winced and whine louder from having her neck bending back and body forward, her knees being forced outward and legs, being bent up against her back! With her injured arm being force to go behind her head and against her neck lightly, with the other one slinging over it and felt every single inch of her body. Breaking and popping very loudly, with Sakura holding her in place.

"Few more...seconds..." She then grinned and immediately lets go of the girl. "THERE!" And heard one last pop on Hinata, who stumbled forward and began wincing, crying and whimpering. As she then goes and stood herself up. "How do you feel, a lot better right!" Grinned the karate wearing girl.

"NO!" Shouted Hinata, while turning her cripple body over at the red hair girl. "I do...not...not..." Then blinked her eyes and began going silent, as she then fully stood up and began wiggling and rotating both shoulders. Then even felt her injured arm having feeling back and was moving perfectly well! She was even twisting and rocking her body left and right, "I...WOW!" She smiled brightly and began doing stretches, "I-I feel GREAT!" She exclaimed, hell she felt more than great!

"Give a test run girl! You will see just how relaxed and flexible your body is now!" Giggled Sakura while spinning her hands in a give it a whirl, motion. At hearing Hinata's voice being calm and happy, rouse Hanabi from the ground and began sitting up, groaning and rubbing her head a bit.

"What...what happened?" And then widen her eyes at the sight of her sister. Doing some acrobatics! "Hinata?" Was her eyes pulling tricks on her, or was her sister actually bending, flipping and cartwheeling around the area, even doing some hand stands and laughing when doing so! "W-wow!" Hanabi smiled brightly and hops onto her feet, earlier Hinata couldn't do a thing and had her arm in that sling!

Let alone looking like she will not be able, to do acrobatics or exercise in her condition. But now! She was like a living spring, moving and showing off her dexterity and reflexes in front of her and Sakura! "Go sis, go!" Giggled Hanabi, watching the older sibling flipping and spinning into the air, while even tucking in her arms and legs to do some barrel rolling in the air.

Then began doing hand flips and hand jumps from the ground, then landed right onto the bench! Spreading her arms out into a Y formation and then began giggling happily, "I can't believe it. I feel amazing, I never felt this good in a long, long time!" Exclaimed the Heiress, who went ahead and hops down from the bench and looks at Sakura.

While then approaching her and grabbing her hands, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She giggled out and shook hands with the girl. Making her laugh and chuckle out, shaking from how happy she made Hinata and even feeling quite proud of her medical technique helping her out. "Man...how-how can I repay ya!" She asked while pulling away, taking note she was causing her new friend breasts, nearly popping out from her shirt. Watching the girl laughing and shaking the dizziness out of her system.

"No need to thank me, your smile is all I need." Sakura said and smiled happily, "Even watching those cute whisker marks of yours, showing just how happy you are is enough!" Giggled the girl. Who then claps her hands up and down, in a job well done. Watching Hanabi and Hinata smiling greatly, with the Heiress eye smiling and bowing in thanks. "Anyway, it was very nice to meeting you two!" She giggled, making the two to blink their eyes. "See...I, uh well?" She then blushes. "I kind of left without letting my teammates know, I was leaving...cause of being interested in how you got those marks." She informed while dragging three separate fingers on her cheek.

Getting Hinata to look down and blushes, then snicker when Hanabi elbowed her. Wiggling her eyebrows, whispering out how she told her so. "And then saw your injured arm and...well," then slaps her hands against her hips. "I knew I needed to help you!" She beamed. "I am glad I did too! Considering that the Chuunin exams are coming soon, by next week? And with that injury of yours, I said you would have missed out on said exams." She informed and had the girl in front of her.

Nodding her head in agreement and folds her hands, "Thank-thank you again and your right." She smiled. "I would have not been able to enter, if I were to wait the injury heal itself. Thanks again Sakura."

"Yeah thanks! Hope you have fun, tell your teammates we said hi!" Hanabi giggled out while throwing both arms into the air and waving them. Watching Sakura running off with her own nods, while waving towards the two siblings, saying good luck to Hinata. Once she was gone and disappeared into the crowd, Hinata and Hanabi rests their arms down against their sides. "So...how about now?" Hanabi suddenly while shifting her gaze up at Hinata.

Who returned it by shifting her eyes down at her with a hum, "since your better and 100% healed? Are you thinking of entering the Chuunin exams and showing everyone, what you got!" She smiled and turns completely towards her sister. Who giggled.

"Honestly, I have think it over and I-" Though couldn't finish her sentence and turn her attention behind the two of them, from picking up someone coming and then landing right behind them. Who look quite out of breath and panting heavily, raising her blunted kunai up.

"I'm here, I'm here! Where's the danger Hinata, who was hurting you!" Shouted Sakura Haruno! Who couldn't even keep her upper body up, without holding against her knees. "I...I tried, coming fast I could and figuring out where your...screams were coming from." She then hangs her body backwards with a lot of air. "Phew...man is it hot today! Now," then walks forward and approaching the two. "Who was hurting you?" Then looks down at Hanabi, who glared back. "Was it her...I mean."

"No Sakura, this...This is my-" But huffs in annoyance when she didn't let her finished and deadpan at the girl. Raising a brow annoyingly at the girl, when she scoffed. She wouldn't dare think that she would be...

"I mean I know she is a little girl, but come on!" Sakura threw her arms up and then back down. Placing her weapon into her pouch. "I didn't think you would be that weak and pathetic, to letting someone like her over power you and having you screaming out for mercy," chided the pink hair Kunoichi, making Hinata to growl irritably.

"Sakura, that is not what happened! She is-" Hinata tried telling her and informed her, it was her sister. But then flinched when she approached a seething Hanabi, while then reaching out and pinching her cheeks. While babying her with a unimpressive look.

"OH did the little bully wanted lunch money, did she had to resort of hurting someone bigger than her to prove her strength? Such a cutie, thinking she could do what she wants." Then yelps when Hanabi slaps her hand away and giving the harshest glares, she could master and growling irritably to the girl. "Ow, jeez for a pipsqueak you got some strength. Though nothing I can't handle."

"Oh no..." Hinata sighed out, one thing she knows about Hanabi and the thing you should never tell her, and that is her being a pipsqueak. Which had Hinata opening her eyes and then gritted her teeth in light fear, for Sakura! As Hanabi activated her Byakugan.

"Pipsqueak, PIPSQUEAK!?" Hanabi shouted and flared her Doujutsu, "I'll show you who is pipsqueak!" Yelled the girl and even lunged at Sakura, who yelled out in surprised and fell down onto her rear from fright. Before shielding herself from the enrage girl, only to hear her thrashing and grunting out suddenly...which had Sakura blinking her eyes and removing her arms, away from her face and stared dubiously towards the scene of Hinata! Holding the young girl back...and wait, did she said sister?

"NO, Hanabi down, down girl!" Hinata shouted and was holding Hanabi in place, while even grabbing and wrapping her arms around her sister! To prevent her from using the Gentle fist and digging her feet hard into the ground, "Father has told you many times, to never use your gentle fist on a fellow leaf ninja!" She scold but half said with a serious tone, "no matter...how obnoxious they are." Hinata said openly, causing Sakura to growl.

"Hey!" She retorted and stood up, "I seem to recall saving your butt many times Hinata!" She exclaimed, while then watching the younger sibling. Who was still thrashing and trying to break through her older sister hold, huffing and panting heavily...looking to be settling down. "Anyway..." Sakura then huffs, shrugging her hands. "Here I come and thinking someone was murdering you or attacking ya. Because of it being the exams, with someone having some revenge plot on the Hyuga." Which she then shook her head and turn her back on her.

"Only to find out your just being messed and bullied by someone who is quite younger to you. Only to find out it is your sister!" Then giggles while walking away, making Hinata. Who let go of Hanabi, seeing she had calmed down and settling down, turn her attention at the girl and glares harshly at her...even her eyes were slightly phasing between lavender and red, "Man you have to be really pathetic to be beaten or bullied by your younger sibling! GLAD, I am an only child!" Chortled the girl, but then froze in place and having quite the ridiculous looking expression, when Hanabi retorted.

"SAYS YOU, YOU BIG FOREHEADED FREAK!" Screamed Hanabi, while throwing a fist up into the air! "Your nothing compared to MY older sister, she is stronger and better than you ever will be!" Screamed the girl. Making Hinata to widen her eyes, while then trying to quiet her sister. Feeling kill intent rising from Sakura!

Though yelps when she got slap on the hand, "NO! I am not going to sit by and let her insult you Hinata!" She exclaimed while throwing a finger at the now, shaking and stiffing shoulders Sakura. "You even said it yourself," which had Sakura lifting her head up and began slowly cranking her neck.

"That all she ever does is idolize a boy who will never probably look her way," Pulse of Chakra flared form Sakura, as Hinata continued shushing Hanabi, while telling her she never said. Only for Hanabi to nod, "Yeah huh!" She nods, while crossing her arms nodding as if confirming it. "You said that Sakura, that...Ninja!" She stated and had another pulse of Chakra to flare from said Ninja, while beginning to have quite the monster look on her expression with demon looking eyes.

"Couldn't stand up to someone dangerous without possibly...no wait?" Hanabi paused and looks up in thought. "Those are my words..." Then shook her head, as Hinata sighs and gave up, already listing things down for her will. "But you were thinking them too!" She suddenly said, while thrusting a finger to Hinata's chin and tilting her head. "And yet, you allow her to push you around, talk down to you like your nothing! When in fact, it is HER! Who is nothing and will never stand up to anything!" And then turns to face the girl. "Hell, I doubt she could even hit a moving target with her kunais, you being the better ninja! Especially," which Hinata went to face forward, ready to apologize too Sakura.

Only to take notice of her right now, which Hinata face went completely paled and began opening her mouth in fear, while slowly beginning to step backwards. "IF she can't even take more than five minutes to train or being fan girly over that stupid", twitch in Sakura forehead, "idiotic," both hands cracking and popping of bones, forming into a fists, "Brooding of an emo child, who thinks his world is over from losing his clan." Hanabi stated and then blinked her eyes, when she heard what sounded like booms where Sakura was.

Then slumps her shoulders and her eyes went into dots, "...I...should run huh?" She said and lightly turns her attention forward, while then widening her eyes in great fear! While whipping her arms around Hinata, who too was shaking and trembling on the spot!

"Worthless, am I?" Sakura suddenly said with her voice deep and menacing, even towering over the two now chibi and scared versions of the Hyuga sisters. "No good am I? PATHETIC AM I?" Hinata and Hanabi both gulps and then shrank their eyes, standing completely still in front of the approaching angry scowling Sakura, as Hinata lifted her hand and finger up with flinching movements.

"Is...it alright to say we're sorry?" She asked softly, with Hanabi rapidly nodding her head up and down. Only for their bodies to be pushed back from the girl, screaming and enlarging her head, blowing very powerful guest of winds in their directions!

"i AM GOING TO PULVERIZE YOU AND MAKE SURE THAT NEITHER ONE OF YOU, WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE TO YOUR FATHER!" Screamed Haruno Sakura, as the two sister stared vacantly after the winds had died down, then looking at one another. Which then they nod and immediately darts from their position and began running, fast as their legs could carry with Hinata, following right behind Hanabi! "GET BACK HERE YOU BITCHES!" Sakura shouted and began pumping and throwing both legs and arms forward and back, moving so fast, similar fashion to that speedy super hero ninja in the comics! Gaining distance right behind Hinata and Hanabi, who yelling and screaming, tears flying out of Hanabi who was doing everything, to run for her life. With Hinata, semi-doing the same but making sure to protect her sister from Sakura's onslaught!

Xxx

The two girls who were running for their lives. Were finally making their way through the fence like roads and pathways, seeing civilization ahead of them! Where the Leaf village buildings and housings can be seen couple distance from them. As Hanabi, who was ahead of Hinata currently, look over her shoulders. Breathing and panting heavily as she asks Hinata, "is...is she still following us?" Breathed out Hanabi, while whining and whimpering when her sister. Nods her head while having her Byakugan activated, "for crying out loud! Does she ever stop..." muttered Hanabi.

"Hanabi-chan," Hinata panted and breathed heavily, while shaking her head down and then harden her looks, when she lifted it back up. "Go-go on ahead without me! Run home and I'll, I'll try and calm Sakura down alright, just make sure you get home!" Shouted the heiress as she came to a sliding stop and quickly turning her body around. Gulping lightly and even felt sweat pouring down her forehead, at the sight of the demon looking Sakura Haruno! Who looked like would have reached them either way, if they were to continued running on home!

"You sure?" Hanabi shouted and then nods, after seeing Hinata raising her hand and letting her know she will be alright. Making Hanabi to nod and hopefully, get home in time to tell her father about a lunatic female Ninja, who is after them. Just for stating her opinions, unaware of the troubles she herself will get into more after coming around another corner!

Hinata closes her eyes and literally thrusts both hands forward and grabs onto Sakura's shoulders, when the girl came right towards her! Forcing the two of them slide forward with Hinata's feet. Digging into the dirt road, while kicking up and building dirt behind her as she tries to keep Sakura, in place! "S-Sakura stop, stop!" Shouted the girl, digging her fingers into her shoulder, as the two of them were struggling and shaking in place.

"Let go, let go Hinata! I gotta teach her a lesson and then teach you a lesson!" Screamed Sakura, as she was stomping and lifting her legs up and down. Pushing Hinata further and further backward, with the girl groaning and grunting heavily. "I gotta...show that witch who to not talk down too!"

"She's my sister Sakura, I cannot let you hurt her!" Shouted Hinata and shoves the girl away. Forcing Sakura, To stumble backwards and losing her balance for a bit, while then quickly stomping her foot down and raising her fist up.

"I don't give a flying heck if she your sister or not!" The threw her arm towards the side, while stepping forward again and shaking her fist. "She shouldn't speak to me like that, neither do you!" Which she got into Hinata's face, causing the heiress to squeak lightly and lean back from the glaring she was getting. "I am your teammate Hinata, you-"

Though Hinata snaps back and raises herself over Sakura, "Teammate my ass Sakura!" Growled the girl while once more shoving her forward. Pointing at herself, "You have done nothing but belittle me! Dissing my abilities and skills as a Kunoichi, to even stating how I cannot do anything that you or Sasuke could do!" Shouted the girl and threw both arms down, stomping er foot. Causing Sakura to widen her green eyes and then closed them with light fright.

"Honestly, there are times whee...where even I! Felt like slapping you for talking down to me like that!" Shouted the girl and huffs lightly, breathing heavy and fast. "Gosh does it feel good to doing so..." Then glares at her, while pushing her back with a finger. "Besides, I am not the one who is lacking in their training!" She explained and crosses her arms, making Sakura to glare.

"Oh yeah and-" Though did not get the chance to defend herself, when Hinata raised her voice and let the truth out. Even though she didn't mean too, as that odd anger and rage was starting to build up a lot inside of her, it was becoming to much!

"BECAUSE YOU ARE LAZY!" Hinata shouted. Causing Sakura to gasp and widen her eyes, then about growl. "You never put much effort in your training, nor do you keep training or continuing the lessons Kakashi teaches us!" Hinata began saying while throwing her arms in different directions, while then throwing her arms out in a random direction with one hand, close to her chest. "Sakura, all you do is sit in the sidelines. Watching and admiring Sasuke, doing all these training lessons Kakashi sensei been giving him. Never once you bother to ask him or explain to him, why it is bad that you and I! Are falling behind with Sasuke's training!"

"Well-" Sakura began saying while turning her head lightly, shifting her eyes. "It's because...because Sasuke can do-"

"NO!" Hinata yelled and stomps her foot, breathing heavily. "No, don't you dare give me that excused!" She scolded with her lavender eyes hardening. "We can do any of that training with Sasuke!" Then shrugs lightly, "sure it may take awhile and be long for us to get the fundamentals down." Then shook her eyes and pokes Sakura chest, "still. We could have been able to do it and catching up with the boy. Instead of being told we cannot do it, while being forced on the sidelines."

Making Sakura to look down lightly and then shook her head, much she want to argue? Hinata does bring up a lot of points, but she won't let her have the satisfaction, "well...do you really, really think we could learn from those lessons?" Sakura asked with a deadpan expression. Crossing her arms and raising one hand, "I mean...do you honestly believe the two of us, will be able to catch up with Sasuke?"

"With hard work and determination, no doubt that we couldn't-" Though before Hinata could finish her sentence and tell Sakura, they could catch up with Sasuke? The girl whip her head after hearing what sounded like a loud scream of fright! "That...sounded like?" Which also got Sakura's attention, which then the two whip their heads in panic and said at the same time. "HANABI!" They both shouted and began running on over to where they heard the girl screaming!

"Let me go, let me go you make up wearing creep!" Hanabi grunted and shouted, kicking and throwing her legs in every direction. Feeling the teen's grip tightening around her shirt collar, while lifting her up from the ground! Making him to leer at the young girl, "Gah...can't breathe!"

"Well are you going to apologize or not, you little runt!" Growled the boy, while then deadpanning. "And it is war paint, not make up!" He scolded and then growled with an irritated shake of his eyebrows.

"Could've fooled me, since make up can do the same!" Hanabi then choked out at the end, when the boy squeezed her throat some more, "ugh...please...let...go!"

"Kankuro, stop it alright? You are going to get us into trouble, especially with him." The girl behind the boy announced, wearing her blonde hair into pigtails. Shifting her teal eyes left and right, looking out for a certain red hair teammate of theirs, as well any Jonin ninjas nearby. Who might get them arrested or bringing them in for messing with a child.

"Please Temari, Gaara is no where near and besides." He lifted Hanabi higher into the air, listening to her whimpering and whining some more. Feeling tears about to break through her eyes, giving up on struggling now as it was to late for her. "This little brat, needs to be taught a lesson. Especially for running into me and then kicking me."

Which had Temari sighing and shaking her head, "fine whatever. But don't cry to me if someone stops you and hurts you, or even Gaara harming you!" Exclaimed the teenager while looking away, as if trying to ignore everything in front of her.

"LET HER GO!" Screamed a voice from the distance, sounding very rough and growling with anger. Making the two Sand team, looking up and past Hanabi. Who also shifted her head and smiled brightly, from hearing her sister voice! Who appeared and ninja jumps right in front of them all, with Sakura landing behind her. With her lavender eyes glaring. "Let my sister go, now! She did nothing wrong!"

"Oh yeah and what you going to do about it?" Retort Kankuro, laughing lightly and shaking Hanabi! Having the girl scream and whine out in fear. "Besides, she ran into him and did not apologize at all and then proceeds to making fun of me, and my war paint." He growled out and tighten his hold on the girl.

"I-I did so apologize...now, let-let me go!" Whined and whimper Hanabi, feeling faint from the lack of air going through her lungs right now. Feeling her arms going limp and legs, dangling now, which did not go well for Hinata. Whose eyes went completely red in anger now and baring her teeth, causing Sakura...who was beside her.

To blink her eyes and shiver, "Hin-Hinata? What...where are you getting this high kill intent, and her eyes?" Sakura said to herself, taking note of the girls eyes. Going red and looking quite intimidating and scary looking, "why are they the color red?"

"I am not going to repeat myself," Hinata said with a hard tone and stiffing her shoulders. "Let. Go. Of. My sister, now!" She shouted and flexed her fingers and trying everything to calm herself from the rage building up inside of her, while also having a bit of fear also in her. "What...what is wrong with me? Why am I, why am I showing so much rage and anger?" She asked herself, while shaking her head. Trying to keep herself calm and collected, while even trying to keep her cool. Though widen her eyes and quickly harden them, when the teen in front of her.

Chuckled and snickered, "Really...you want me to let her go? Fine." He then released his grip lightly, causing Hanabi to gasp out a lot of air and began coughing and choking heavily, in his hold. Then squeaked when he went ahead, grabbing the back of her shirt collar and face it towards Hinata and Sakura. "If you so badly want her, then take her from me." He dared towards the heiress, making Hanabi. Who was moved forward to whimper lightly and began trembling before Hinata and Sakura.

"Nee-san...please, help me." Hanabi stuttered out in fright. Temari, who was watching her brother doing this and taunting the girl in front of them. Of rescuing her younger sister, couldn't help but shake her head and mumbled underneath her breath coldly.

"Fuck sake Kankuro, can you go a day without causing any trouble!" Temari thought to herself, while looking behind them, "especially if Gaara is around us. He will surly get mad or even rouse the demon within him and start losing control." Then faces forward after hearing Hinata announcing.

"I will Hanabi, just need...to figure out something," The heiress muttered and activated her Byakugan. Causing Temari to widen her eyes, taking note of the girl's eyes changing and having veins around her pupils. Which she has heard that Hyuga's are known for this trait, which meant.

"Are they Hyugas?" She asked herself while turning her attention towards Hanabi, then down towards Kankuro's free hand, watching him setting up Chakra strings along the ground. In order to trip up the girl and purposely having her falling onto her face, "It's not going to work Kankuro." She singsong to herself with a giggle while smirking, "things are surely going to get interesting."

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Kankuro proceeds taunting and laughing. "Don't you want to save your dear sister," He cackled while waving the young girl around a bit, making her squeak out in fear some more and began whimpering. Scared of what will happened if her sister, doesn't succeed in saving her.

"Hinata," Sakura finally spoke up and leans next to her. "There-there's no way you can take him on...He feels like he is on a totally different league than us." She explained, making the heiress to stare at her and then back towards Kankuro, "want me to go and get help? I can easily-"

"I got this..." Hinata suddenly said and smiled, with her eyes going back to their normal lavender color. "I think I know what he is up to, as well what kind of tricks he has in mind." Stated the young girl as she began walking forward. Forcing Sakura, to stretch her arm out to grab her! Only to miss, when Hinata went on a full sprint right towards the two teenagers in front of them!

"Hinata don't!" Sakura cried out as she watches the scene play out in front of her. With the Hyuga girl, pulling out couple of shurikens, none lethal shurikens out from her weapon pouch and brought them to eye level. Running and stomping her feet down into the dirt, making sure to dig into it whenever she steps forward, making Kankuro to lower his head and spread his grin further.

"They always fall for it," He muttered and began flexing his fingers behind his back, moving very thing chakra strings out from the ground, connecting to the two wooden fences on either side of the road. But widen his eyes! At the last second the string were pulled up? Hinata sprang into the air and began throwing all three shurikens below her!

Thumping into the ground where the string was and trapping it in place, causing Kankuro to grunt lightly from feeling the tug of his fingers. Being forced outward and nearly popping out of place, then followed by shouting out in surprised! When Hinata lands back onto the ground, extending her legs far she could and tripping up the boy from his feet! Grabbing Hanabi in mid-air bridal style, while then jumping backwards back to where Sakura was standing and slides to a stop after landing.

"Hanabi, you alright?" Hinata asked after setting her sister down. Who was in somewhat a trance and then lunged herself into Hinata! Hugging the girl tightly and burrowing her head into her neck, hiccuping and sobbing heavily from what she just experienced...saying thank you over and over to her sister. Hinata breathes a sigh of relief and brought the girl into a tight embrace.

Sakura, as well Sasuke who had just arrive not soon after Hinata ran and watching from one of the nearby tree branches. Were amazed and shock of what just happened and how easily, Hinata. Was able to move in and out of there with swift movements, saving her sister from the boy and leaping back to her original spot. This had Sakura staring in disbelief! "What...What the hell just happened!? No, no way Hinata is that fast or even being able to react like that! There-there's no way..." Sakura thought to herself and turns her attention towards the two teenagers.

The girl looking to be laughing her ass off from the display, along with her teammates short coming from what happened to him, while the said boy. Looked to be quite frustrated and royally pissed off! For being duped like that from Hinata, even tripping him up and mouthing something about. Spotting his Chakra strings? "When, when did Hinata became this agile and good? I don't understand..." She turned back to the girl. Who was quietening her sister and calming her down from what just happened, while then standing up. "Was...Was she right about me underestimating her? I mean... she did that all on her own. Not even asking for my help, studying the situation and how to successfully execute it without any flaw!

The pink hair Kunoichi stares dubiously at the heiress, who began turning her attention back towards the sand team. Making Sakura, to pondered a bit more or curious of when Hinata...gotten really good as a ninja? "Her eyes though, they weren't their normal coloring. What was up with them being red and then quickly changing back?" She then shifted her emerald eyes over at the now Sand ninja's, from what she can determined from their headbands. "Definitely odd, I know Byakugan gives the Hyuga a 360 degree birds eye view. But nothing about it changing their eye colors...probably something I will have to ask Kakashi-sensei at a later date."

"You-you witch..." Kankuro finally breathed out after getting up and situating himself. "You nearly broke my fingers, let alone!" Then threw his arm forward with bulging and yet, amazed eyes. "How the hell did you spot my chakra strings! I never seen anyone, not even top notch Jonin in our town, spotting them at all!" He exclaimed, making Temari to shake her head and then grabbing the bridge of her nose.

"She's a Hyuga, both her and her sister are Hyuga's Kankuro." Temari stated bluntly, making the boy to close his eyes and look at her confusingly. Which then felt her slamming a hand on the top of his head, forcing him to face forward with light irritation. "LOOK at their eyes you idiot, they have no pupils Kankuro. Surprise you didn't catch onto that, while holding the little girl." Groaned Temari, hearing her brother letting out a confirmed hum of his voice.

"Well who cares," Kankuro growled out. Making Sasuke to sigh and leaning away from the tree back. "No one makes a fool out of me, especially girls!" Shouted the teen, earning some frustrated sighs from Temari, as he goes and began moving his hands up. Shocking his sister of the action and knows what he is about to do!

"Kankuro, you can't! Not here, not right now you shouldn't be using Crow!" She exclaimed, making the girls in front of them to stand on their guard, even making Sasuke to hardening his eyes.

"Shit, a fight is going to break lose and considering how he is moving his hands? No doubt..." Which Sasuke then looks towards the strange wrapping bag on the boy's back, "that this guy, is a Puppet master. I better step in and make sure, he doesn't hurt Hinata."

"Kankuro knock it off, you are being an idiot." Announced another voice, causing Sasuke to widen his eyes greatly, while alerting everyone on ground level to their presence. "And an embarrassment to our village..." came the stoic tone voice once more, revealing to be another ninja! Who surprisingly is hanging upside down on the same branch as Sasuke!

"O-o-oh hey G-G-Gaara!" Kankuro stuttered out with a shaky voice, while waving towards the boy. Which said red hair child, looks over at him and then towards Hinata, "I-I was just...uh, was just messing with them that is all heh! All a big funny joke!" Chuckled Kankuro nervously, watching him stare intensely towards the ninjas in front of them.

"...shut up or else I will kill you." Gaara stated coldly, while then transporting himself down between Temari and Kankuro, forcing Sasuke to finally let go of the breath. He did not know he was holding, while quickly leaping off the branch and landing in front of Hinata, Hanabi and Sakura. Said Sakura, called out his name with stars in her eyes, with Hinata staring at the Uchiha and then back towards the three. "Sorry for whatever idiocy my brother had put you through." Gaara continued saying, while still holding onto that cold stare of his, "if you can forgive him then we can make this never happening..." He finished. Making Sasuke to steel his gaze at the boy, flinching lightly at the odd kill intent he was radiating.

A small blush from Temari as she checks out Sasuke quickly, while a worried and slightly relax Kankuro took a breath of relief. Hinata though, with her hand up to her chest...was getting bit creep out with the way Gaara was staring towards her, staring through her as if he was trying to analyze her..? "What is your name." He suddenly asked, not specifying who he was referring to.

This had Sasuke blinking his eyes and hardening his look, thinking he was speaking to him. "Sasuke Uchiha." He replied, watching the boy shifting his light blue eyes at him and then back forward. "Best knowing who you are..."

"Don't care for your name, I am asking what her name is." Gaara stated rather coldly and points towards Hinata. Having the girl lightly blinking her eyes and tightening her hold of her jacket a bit more, "I want to know your name, for you are the only one. Who managed to out smart my brother Kankuro here." He stated.

Which said brother looked away with a embarrassed blushed, whispering out. "I'm not that stupid...and she caught me by surprise that is all. How was I suppose to know she was a Hyuga?" Whined the puppet ninja, earning some giggles from Temari.

"I-I'm Hinata, Hinata Hyuga..." Hinata replied back with a gulp. Watching the red hair boy nod in response, acknowledging her name and smiling in a slight scary fashion. Sending chills to everyone who was seeing this.

"Hinata Hyuga..." He then turns around closing his eyes and opening them again. "I will remember your name, I look forward to fighting you at the exams." He stated and turned his head at Temari, "Temari, Kankuro. We're leaving." And began walking forward with the two siblings nodding with sweat going down the side of their heads.

"Wait-wait!" Sakura extend her hand out and then approaches next to Sasuke. "Your ninja's...Genin from the sand village. Why are you here? You can't be visiting a village without any-" Then went silently, when Temari groans and turns around halfway, grabbing a paper from her bag.

"Easy pinky, we have our papers and are allowed to be in the city." She informed while then grinning, "and haven't any of you heard about the Chuunin exams that's happening next week?" She then shrugs, at the confuse expression from Sasuke and Sakura, though not from Hinata. Who looked away lightly and in deep thoughts. "Ninja's from around the great nations, are gathered here in the village to compete in these exams. Showing their skills, abilities and knowledge of being a Shinobi." While then waving them off with a chortle laugh.

"Along with those who has the skills to becoming Chuunin, but seeing how the two of you don't even know about it?" Then taunts with a knowing smirk, "must mean you don't really have what it takes...anyway, see ya at the big exams!" And thus the three sand ninja's left and leap through the rooftops. Leaving team seven and Hanabi there in the roads, all of them blinking and staring where they had disappeared too.

Sasuke grins and smiles widely, "Chuunin exams..."

"Where Shinobi are tested and determined if they are ready, to being a Chuunin ninja-" Thought Sakura.

"Am I...ready for such a task in the future? Will I be strong enough to get through them..." Hinata asked herself while looking down, contemplating if she should go or not? Participate in what could be quite a dangerous ninja exams of her career, though stopped worrying when she felt her sister lightly grabbing her hands and grinning widely.

"You can do it, Hinata! I have faith in you." Then shrugs, "and probably your teammates too." She sarcastically said, but was true to her words. Making Hinata to stare a bit and then nods lightly, gaining the needed assurance.

"Your right...if I can get through Zabuza and Haku? Then I can get through the exams." She suddenly announced and faces at Sakura and Sasuke, who turn at her and both having the same confident smiles. "But if we are to do this you two," she stated towards her allies. "We must do it as a team...not individuals, not by ourselves but actual teamwork." Then extends her hand forward, praying they will be with her and Sakura. Not turning down her offer or saying, how Hinata herself won't be much of help.

"Of course! Kakashi-sensei told us many times that, we have to work together if we want to live through it right?" Sakura beamed and places her hand on Hinata's hand. "I am with you 100% Hinata, especially how you handled that sand Genin? No way we can lose!"

"Yeah, we're together we can over come anything. We all play important roles, let's show those who watches over the exams. What Team seven can really do!" Sasuke informed with confidence in his tone and also places his hand on top of Sakura's and Hinata's hand!

At the Hokage office, a meeting was taking place with Sarutobi and Kakashi. Who were speaking towards four individual ninja's who came from the grass village, along with the blonde ninja. Kakashi had reported to the Hokage, about coming on over and visiting the village in hopes of meeting up with Hinata.

"Then it is settle, your team will meet up with Team seven. Soon as Kakashi summons them here in my office. So in the mean time, you four are welcome to stay and participate in the Chuunin exams. Agreed?" Said Sarutobi with a big smile on his face, adjusting his pipe upward and blowing out smoke. "Oh by the way," He suddenly said towards the blonde hair Ninja, who steps forward and takes the mask off from his face.

"It is good to see you are doing quite well...Naruto Uzumaki." Saurtobi beamed happily, watching the familiar whisker marks appearing and those strong vibrant blue eyes of his, showing confidence and slight giddiness over their little meeting, standing before his own team. Wearing his Grass Jonin uniform and outfit, as he gave a wide fox like smile and wraps his hands behind his head.

"Sure is and great! I can't wait to meet the Princess of the Byakugan!" Naruto exclaimed, as fates are finally going to coincide and the jailers of the one half of the nine-tailed fox are finally going to meet! What is it that Naruto, has in store for Hinata and what will the Chuunin exams bring!
