Hinata sensei

"Is there any reason you're summoned me here, Hokage-sama?" Hinata asked. "Yes, it's about a new student for Team 7. One of them is one man short, and this girl, who was dropped from the program, is the best candidate we could find. It's a shame, because unlike her other teammates, she does have promise as a ninja."

Hinata couldn't help but feel bad for the girl. She knows what the girl is thinking and it makes her feel sick. Her only reason for having another chance to be a ninja is because Sakura died, and Team 7 needs a replacement. Another reason to hate this system.

"Introduce yourself to your sensei." The Hokage ordered her. "I'm Kagome Takahashi. I am honored to be in your presence. Hinata-sensei, thank you, Hokage-sama, for giving me another chance." She bowed respectfully to both of them and left. This was not fair. It felt like this girl only had a chance because of Sakura, before she could indulge in her thoughts, the Hokage spoke, "I know it's soon, but it has to be done. I'm assigning you on another mission." Hinata wanted to snap; she had to ask him a question, she couldn't just not say anything.

"Can I speak freely?" Hinata asked, "permission granted."

"I didn't want another mission to happen so soon, not after what happened with Sakura this new girl Kagome will be needed to train first. It took my team two months to get them to work together with Sakura, but with Kagome as a new member, Naruto, and Sasuke would need some time to work together. It took two months for my team to be able to properly work together, and that was before Sakura died on that mission. There's no way in hell that they're ready, especially Kagome. I don't even know what she can do or her skills, and neither does Naruto and Sasuke. Please give me a month to at least train them." She wanted to be respectful, but she didn't want to go out on another mission so soon.

"Kagome does have experience; we made an exception for her because of the latent potential she has. Kakashi has trained her, though she will need to learn to work together with others, and the only way to do that is to go on another mission. I know you don't want to, because it's so soon, but your team must be prepared for the Chūnin Exam's, which are over a month away." The damn exams; they can wait a year to take it. She wanted to voice her opposition, but she couldn't. "When is my team expected to leave?" Asked Hinata. "A few days from now; that should give Kagome time to acquaint herself with her teammates." He dismissed her. She left, not feeling satisfied; she's being sent on another mission, given another student, so soon after what happened to Sakura. The failure was too fresh to her, but she knew that was the nature of what it means to be a Shinobi. She put the pain of her failure aside and focused on her task at hand.

It had been a month since the Land of Waves mission Sasuke trained with his usual routine. Naruto would be here soon. He always prefers to train alone, the kind of techniques that the Uchiha train with are usually techniques that members of their clan usually train alone or with other members, not with outsiders. Sasuke is the only member of his clan left in the village. He has no other training partner to train with. Before he could get to his training, he saw a Kanai pass right past him and hit the bullseye. She was one of the most talented students of this year. The only people that were higher than her were Sasuke.

"I see you haven't lost your touch, Kagome san."

Sasuke said with a measure of respect; there was always respect between them, even though he was always the winner of their duels. Sasuke couldn't help but admire the girl in terms of her skills. When he heard that she was dropped from the program, he thought it was a shame such talent wasted. What is she doing here? "I was wondering what you were doing here, weren't you dropped from the program? Why do you have the Konoha headband on your forehead?" he asked, confused.

"I wasn't really dropped; it's just my teammates. They didn't have what it took, so they were useless idiots who couldn't follow basic protocol." Kagome said with contempt. Sasuke knew exactly the kind of people she was stuck with. One of them was lazy, and one of them was someone who didn't take their studies seriously. She was stuck with the worst teammates; he couldn't help but hold them in contempt. "So why are you here? Shouldn't you be training with your Sensei or something?" asked Sasuke. "My Sensei isn't here yet." She replied. "Tell me, Sasuke, are you interested in another duel between us? We haven't had one in a while." She was serious. She got into her fighting stance. Sasuke got into his. He figured it wouldn't hurt to indulge. It would turn out just like every other fight they had.

Nothing was said for the next few seconds until Sasuke made the first move; he threw a shuriken and she easily deflected it with her concealed katana. Sasuke took out a kunai and blocked her sword. She pushed him back.

she was one of the rare Konichi and konoha to use a katana it wasn't encouraged by Shinobi to use such weapons and it was a fighting style that was difficult to master.

she was harder than normal to fight Sasuke was surprised how much stronger the girl has become in the past few months. if she were serious about killing him she could easily do so if Sasuke were to let down his guard.

"you're going to have to come at me as if you're trying to kill me Sasuke Chan"the girl said mockingly. the mocking pissed Sasuke off God he couldn't stand this girl her arrogant and smug beat demeanor he never liked her even if he respected her skills she was always arrogant.

"don't get cocky just because you're doing better than normal"Sasuke replied sharply. he kicked her in the stomach giving them both distance.

the girl put her sword back in its sheath got into a different fighting stance what was this she went straight at him he had barely had time to block her skills and hand-to-hand combat were always one of the best in the academy.

Her Taijitsu skills were almost at the level of Hanabi Hyuga he blocked her blows that would have ended the fight then and there if Sasuke were any other opponent. As a member of the Uchiha clan he was expected to have mastery at all forms of combat ninjutsu taijitsu and genjutsu which were the basics.

he was wondering how this girl was able to keep up with them so well? he could say what he wants about Hinata Hyuga but her teaching methods helped improved her students skills quickly. who was her teacher who was teaching her? Sasuke wants to know if someone like that is able to make this girl build a keep up with him despite his training with ugly one of the most talented Konichi of her generation that he must be someone impressive indeed.

couldn't think about that she wasn't letting him recover or then take a deep breath she kicked him on the shin knocking him to the ground Sasuke got up quickly to prevent the girl from getting a victory.

He was going to humble this girl and show her just what the uchihas were all about.

of course when you looked at her she had a calm expression like she always does even in the face of defeat.

"you want to know why I don't like you Sasuke Uchiha you're arrogant and you think because you're The prodigy of this year that you are better than me you can't even consider the fact that I've trained non-stop since the day we both got out of the academy I'm not the same girl I was the last time we fought."he understood that well her skills which is something he always respected which is one of the reasons he enjoyed their duels so much.

But she would not be challenging him unless she was completely confident that she could win this time considering the last time there dual went she had lost badly. Kagome wasn't the kind of person that challenged anyone unless she had a chance to win.

She was one of the main reasons Sasuke trained as hard as he did he wasn't going to lose to anyone especially to her.

"so finally you're taking this dual seriously about damn time I got a new jitsu I want to show off."the girl said arrogantly.

Sasuke did his hand signs. "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!"

a fireball came out of his mouth heading rapidly to Kagome's direction the girl looked calm she wasn't faced she did her own hand signs to counter his jitsu.

"Water style: Water Barrier!"

then she did another jutsu. "Wind style: Typhoon!" There was a gigantic gust of wind. Sasuke knew he couldn't counter it without his fireball jutsu, but he wouldn't be able to do it in time.

He jumped out of the way in order to dodge the jitsu only for him to be knocked down by a kick in the air from Kagome. Who smiled smugly Sasuke did not understand the significance until he looked down where he was. he lost his footing and he tripped and amateur mistake he chastised himself the ground was obviously targeted and not him in order to make his footing on stable.

the girl was stronger than he thought a mistake he did not intend to repeat again if he ever starred before again that is.

"You've lost your touch. Looks like I won." She couldn't help but remark arrogantly.

Sasuke wanted to leap and strangle the girl she won? he hasn't even made admitted defeat yet he got up and spoke in the common voice he can muster.

"You're acting all smug but don't forget you've lost every duel until now Remember?" Sasuke pointed out. "Oh Sasuke Chan, how much does it hurt knowing that a girl is stronger than you and our sensei is also stronger? It must hurt your fragile ego" she said mockingly. "You're as much of a bitch as I remember," Sasuke replied. "I'll take that as a compliment, thank you very much." The girl said, still smiling with that smug look on her face. "Hey Sasuke, who is that?" asked Naruto

The girl looked at him and annoyance that their duel was interrupted Sasuke was relieved in a way though he was a little annoyed because he did not like his dual being interrupted he hated unfinished business.

"Oh great, so I'm stuck with you too. The arrogant Uchiha and the class clown, and now a sensei who's from a clan that I can't stand. This is wonderful."

Kagome isn't happy to be with either of them. "Well, the feeling is mutual," said Naruto, who now recognizes her.

"you got to be kidding me you mean you our a new teammate?"Naruto asked her in disbelief. when it clicked why she was here Sasuke couldn't believe Naruto figured it out before he did when she said her Sensei isn't here yet that should have been the giveaway but he was so focused on the duel that he didn't even consider it he wanted to kick himself.

"Yeah, do you have a problem, Naruto-chan?" The girl asked mockingly

"Oh, God! You're as insufferable as I remember!" Naruto said, not liking the fact that she was Sakura's replacement.

Before anything could happen, Hinata showed up which Sasuke was grateful the last thing he wanted was to see a argument between him and Kagome.

"I take it you've all been compared then?" said Hinata in her authoritative voice that Sasuke had grown accustomed to.

"Now that we've all been acquainted, I'm letting you all know we're being assigned to another mission, but before that, we're going to get to know each other a little bit first since you're my teammate now, Kagome, Naruto, and Sasuke. You should tell them a bit about yourself before we get started." She waited for the girl to talk before she spoke in a calm and collected manner, different from earlier.

"I'm Kagome Takahashi. My likes? Well, that's none of your business. My dislikes are many. I dislike arrogant people, self-important people, and most of all, people who don't appreciate what they have." Sasuke didn't know that part; she didn't share anything about herself with anyone. "As for my dreams, I have none. I only have one thing I care about, and no, I'm not telling anyone. I'm not here to make friends, nor do I want you to be my friend. I'm just here to be a ninja and to get paid. That's it." This girl told them all literally nothing, but Sasuke isn't surprised Kagome has always been mysterious.

Naruto and Sasuke talked about themselves. Sasuke did not look forward to having to work with this girl. It took almost two months for him to get along with Naruto. He dreaded having to learn to work with Kagome, who was even more difficult to get along with than Naruto had been at the beginning. After they finished introducing themselves, Hinata briefed them on the mission they would be going on in the next few days.

Hinata was summoned to her father's quarters. When she opened the door, she saw another man: a silver-haired man in white robes. A man who was blindfolded. "Why did you summon me here, Hiashi?" Hinata asked the head of the Hyuga clan. "It is imperative that you bring him to his destination in one piece. It would not be good for our clan if the heir were harmed." Her father said with a voice that showed little emotion. "Are you saying that I am incompetent, that I cannot do my job? I have been doing escort missions since I was 12 years old. I am not a child." Hinata snapped. "Watch your tongue when speaking to me, girl! I will not have you disrespect me in front of our guest"he said coldly

She hated being in this room. She hated being in the compound as a whole. Every time she went there, all it did was bring back memories and the dreaded words she heard at night when she went to sleep.

"It should have been you that died" Hiashi said to a 9-year-old Hinata.

"I look forward to doing business with you in the future, Hiashi-san" the silver-haired man bowed respectfully and walked out of the room. Hinata and her father were alone; the tension between the two was high ever since she willingly gave up being the Heir of the clan; her father never let it go despite her younger sister, Hanabi, being more suited for his taste. "Unless you need something from me, Hiashi, I will take my leave." Hinata said respectfully before she went, her father's voice stopped her cold. "How much do you attend to pursue this foolishness of being the Hokage? It doesn't in any way benefit the clan. You should have already been married by now and already produced Heirs because that's what you should be doing, not training a bunch of kids and not even being good at it, considering one of them was killed on a mission." The rage she was feeling.

The fact that he has to rub salt on the wound is a reminder of her failure. It took everything she had not to activate her Byakugan and shove him against the wall. It took everything she had, all of herself, to control her anger. With controlled anger, she replied to her father's words.

"The clan, the clan that's all it is with you; you don't think about what any of your children wants. You only see us as an extension of yourself."

Hinata didn't care whether or not she angered her father, as it was how she truly felt about him.

Her father, in the rare instance where he lost control of his emotions, leapt across the room and slapped Hinata hard across the face. "I touched a nerve, didn't I? Because it's true: now you don't summon me here unless you have a good reason, so stop wasting both of our time and get to the damn point. I have a mission to do."

Her father regained his composure and sat back down.

Hinata and her father couldn't be in the same room for long due to how often they argued. The relationship changed for the worse the day her mother died. The relationship was nonexistent. She didn't want to think about that now; she didn't want to keep her students waiting any longer than necessary. "Truth be told, the man you're escorting is a men named Toneri otsutsuki a potential match for either you or Hanabi in the future. We want you to make a good impression so they will be more likely to agree to a possible arrangement in the future." It was all a business arrangement. Hinata wanted to scream. "We'll make sure he gets there in one piece whether the clan wants me to do it or not because that's my mission."

"Your sister Hanabi is on team 8. She will be an exceptional ninja, even if you are not the Heir to our clan. You still have obligations."

She wanted to scoff at such an obligation; she was tired of them all. Her life, she had people telling her she couldn't do anything because of some bullshit like destiny. "My only obligation is to my team and this village. I don't want any part of your political games."

Hinata replied sharply.

"You are a member of this clan, whether you live here or not. That doesn't change the fact that you still have your obligations. You are obligated to find a husband, a suitable one to continue the family line. Another thing you cannot deny is that you are the Byakugan princess, regardless if you're my heir or not."

She cared nothing about continuing the line of ignorant and stuck-up fools who are stuck in the past."I won't marry anyone I don't care who they are; I won't marry anyone the clan wants me to; I owe you nothing."

Hinata said, about to activate her Byakugan.

"It should have been you who died, Hiashi. It should be you that's six feet under, not mother and certainly not uncle." She wanted to say out loud, "God! She wanted to tell her father how much she hated him, how much she despised him, how much she hates everything about him."

She cannot voice her true feelings, even though she wants to. It's unfortunate that she's a Hyuga; she has to bite her tongue as much as she wants to reveal her true feelings. However, she's already pushed the limits of what she's allowed to get away with.

Hinata turned her back on him and walked out, not listening to her father's protests.

She was so angry every time she was summoned to her father's study he always riles her up. She took a deep breath she couldn't show up looking like this. She saw Toneri waiting for her by the gate of the compound. "I take it you and your father don't have good relations? He asked her. "I'd rather not talk about it, I'd rather get started on the mission"Hinata said in a tone that is business-like. "Damn you're as cold as they say kind of a shame really for such a pretty face"he said smirkingly the nerve of this man Hinata thought.

He walked by her side without saying anything as she headed toward the gate. This would be her second mission outside the village with her team. She hoped this wouldn't end in failure like the first one had.

"An escort mission we have to escort a spoiled noble from some land. Great, this isn't something I'm looking forward to."

Kagome looked at him in annoyance. "I don't care as long as we get paid. It's not like we're doing it out of the goodness of our hearts."

She didn't care what kind of mission she did; there was only one thing she cared about: providing for her family. Her family has been struggling financially for a long time. Her mother works 24/7 to put food on the table, and it isn't easy considering the limited employment opportunities for civilians in the village. Despite her aunt being a hero in the last war, she lives in poverty. The only way to be able to provide for her mother is to work, and the most efficient job for a civilian is being a Shinobi of Konoha - basically a glorified mercenary.

Kagome doesn't think there's any honor in this line of work because mercenaries are what ninjas essentially are. At the end of the day, they're no different from the mercenaries that are hired. So she doesn't think there's anything noble about this line of work.

She feels lucky she couldn't help but think that yeah she was exempt from being permanently dropped from the program because of her natural talent but it still didn't make her feel good knowing someone else's death helped pave the way for her to be on a team. To put those thoughts aside she can't think that way what matters is providing for her mother the means to do so didn't matter.

They were all waiting for their sensei escorting a noble for what she heard this Noble was someone that was highly respected a member from the Ootsutsuki family for what she had heard from them they had strong connections to the higher-ups in the land of fire and the person in question they were escorting was their son the next head of the family. Though she didn't care about any of that, the only thing she was concerned with was getting the mission done so she could give her mom the necessities in order for them to be able to eat.

Hinata arrived, everyone looked at her and Saw a silver haired man right behind them. His skin was pale. She knew who that he was by reputation; he was the next head of the clan. "You're all aware of what our mission is right?"Hinata asked her team. Sasuke answered"Yes our objective is to escort Toneri Ootsutsuki to the Luna village which is north of here"Hinata showed them on the map that they all carried. The Luna village she read about it once millennia ago is where the sage of six paths was born but, she didn't believe in such Legends she didn't believe that the sage of six packs ever existed at all she was not a believer of the faith. She knew the significance of it; she didn't think she'd be going there of all places.

"Can someone explain to me what's the Luna village?''Naruto asked, confused she wasn't surprised that he never heard of The village not many in Konoha have unless they were devout believers. "I'll explain to you on the way everyone deserves to know because it's important for our mission"Hinata said in a business-like matter she met this man prior to meeting them at the gates just what was going through her head Kagome thought. Her priority may be her mission in order to give money to her family but she couldn't help but Wonder just what was Hinata thinking?

After traveling for the day, the party made camp. Naruto sat down. He was confused about the Luna Village; he had never heard of it.

"Kyubi, do you know anything about the Luna Village?" Naruto asked his companion. Inside him.

"It would take me too long to explain what it is, but let's just say it's one of the oldest places in the world. That's where the Sage of Six Paths was born." Kyūbi answered. "He actually existed?" Naruto asked him, astonished. "Of course he did! Everything you know about this world wouldn't exist without him. The origins of every jutsu are tied to the Sage of Six Paths. The origins of all the clans that exist are also tied to him."

Naruto couldn't help but want to know more. He felt stupid. "What does this have to do with the Luna Village?" Naruto asked him, wanting to know what the point of him telling him about the Sage of Six Paths was.

"You should ask your sensei; you shouldn't depend on me for every answer. Rely on your own wit."

He cut his link with Naruto, leaving Naruto to his own thoughts. Almost as if she could sense that he had questions, Hinata, who was sitting across from him, handed him the food she cooked and started a conversation. "You must have many questions."

Yes, I have many questions, like: What is the name of the village? What is its history? And what does it have to do with our mission?"

He took a bite out of the food he ate after he had asked to question. He almost forgot about the question, considering he never tasted food this good. His sensei was a great cook, but he knew that wouldn't be relevant to the question he had, so he would leave that be for now.

"The Luna village is significant in the Land of Fire. Not only is it the birthplace of the Sage of Six Paths, but it's also the birthplace of the Hyuga, Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans. It's a significant site and members of its family have lived in that region for millennia. His clan are guardians of the Luna Village. It is important to the Land of Fire in terms of its religious significance."

Hinata answered. Naruto couldn't help but freeze when he heard that he was part of a clan he didn't even know about. "But Konoha isn't the only nation that worships the Sage of Six Paths. Shouldn't the Luna Village be important to the other villages as well?" Naruto asked her.

"It's complicated; it's part of the Land of Fire, yet it's not part of our territory. It sounds like a paradox, but if we try to lay claim to it or if any nation tried to lay claim to it, it would ignite a war. So, the Luna Village has forever declared neutrality as a result."

There was so much about the world Naruto didn't know; was he really qualified to be the Hokage?"

You're so wise, Hinata-sensei. I feel so insignificant and small when I hear about all of this stuff that you just told me."

Hinata expression didn't change. "I was where you were once; so I know how that is. The world is so much bigger than Konoha and the Land of Fire compared to the world. We are all insignificant, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Humility is an important component of being a Hokage, at least that's what I believe. Though many don't agree with me."

Naruto couldn't help but agree with Hinata on that.

"I really want to know why you want to be a Hokage." Naruto asked Hinata. "It's complicated, perhaps I'll tell you more at a different time. The short version: This village needs to change; it's long overdue that it changes. The old guard need to be removed, and a new generation of leaders need to take hold and forge the future for the next generation, and not have the next generation held back by bad ideas that have been proven to be failures."

Naruto felt so childish; his reasoning for one to be a Hokage is acknowledgment. Hinata's reason is far more complicated.

"I feel like such a child compared to you. You haven't told me much, but I feel like my reasoning for being the Hokage is for acknowledgment. Is that really what I want?"

Naruto asked her out loud, asking himself more than Hinata. "You remind me of someone that I admired. She was a lot like you when I think about it. She wanted to be a Hokage too, for the same reason you do, but she found something else."

She remembered Kushina, her babysitter and Naruto's father. She felt so awful keeping such a secret that she had an actual relationship with his parents, something she will never have.

"Don't be hard on yourself, Naruto. You have your whole life to figure it out. I can help you as your sensei and your friend."she said with some form of hesitation.

"Give her time; someone with trust issues isn't going to openly accept the concept of friendship overnight. It's going to take time." the fox spirit said, reading Naruto's concerns.

Things remained silent between them for the rest of the night. The one question he wanted to ask her he feared had slipped from his mind. No, he would ask her when the opportunity presented itself again. For now, he went to sleep in order to have the energy to continue on with the mission the next day.

The next few days would go by in a flash. Team 7 would pass through mountains, the Luna village was difficult to get to, and only those who knew how to get to the village were able to find their way there. An escort showed them to the village. They were on top of the hill, and Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes. His parents had told him about this place when he was a child. He thought it was only a fairy tale, but it exists. "Welcome, residents of Konoha! You are the first since Madara Uchiha and Kanna Hyuga to set foot in this place."

Sasuke and Hinata, whose eyes widened, are the names of the two people who are famous among both their clans. Sasuke never thought he'd be setting foot in the very place where his ancestor set foot. The way it is described matches the description given by Madara. The village is something from a different world. There is a forest as far as the eye can see; the trees are taller than anything he has ever seen. Nothing in his wildest imaginings compares to the tree he is looking at, which looks ancient, at least 5,000 years old.

Everyone in the group was looking at Kagome, who is usually not interested in these sorts of things. Sasuke felt like he had entered a parallel world, no wonder this place was protected; he couldn't imagine a war in this place. This place looked like it was untouched by humans; he couldn't help but be moved by the beauty of the place in his heart. Even though he hates Itachi and everything he stands for, he believes he would do anything to get his revenge. This is one thing he couldn't bring himself to destroy to get his revenge. This place was too sacred. "I see this has even moved you, Sasuke-san," Toneri couldn't help but point that out about Sasuke, who normally wouldn't show emotions openly like this.

"Whatever I was just cut off, that's all." Sasuke said, trying to play cool. He couldn't afford to lose; face didn't know why, but he felt something significant about this place. They were here for a reason, and he didn't know why.

Hinata couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the forest she was walking through. It felt like something out of a fantasy novel. The colors in the trees were unusual: pink, green, blue, and every other color she could think of that represented life. How could such a place exist in the Land of Fire? "You're probably wondering why we're here," Toneri said, looking up into the sky as if he were thinking. "I don't understand why we need to be here either."

"I cannot reveal that at this time the answer will become clear soon enough The seer of this village my mother will answer your questions" he said no more and continued to walk in front of the group. Hinata didn't know why she couldn't put her finger on it. She felt like she was brought here for a reason, and so was her team, but what was it? They continued to walk for a few more days until they finally got to their destination. She saw no signs of life in the village. There was no way it could be deserted. Her Byakugan saw many life forms. What was going on?

"Villagers are wary of outsiders it's nothing personal our clan suffered a genocide in the past and we're wary of people from the outside world your group are the only people have come here since Madara and Kanna came here over 70 years ago. "70 years Hinata thought that would have been the time of the war state period before the founding of the land of fire. What did one of the founders of Konoha and the last Byakugan Queen do here?

When they got to the last building, he stopped. "I'm afraid you have to go alone, Hinata-san. My mother's wisdom is for your ears only, and neither one of your students are ready to hear her wisdom."

Hinata didn't know what she did to deserve such an honor; she spoke softly to reassure her students, especially Naruto. "Don't worry, Naruto. I'll be back."

She followed Toneri as she entered the building that housed The seer of the Otsutsuki clan he left the two alone and the woman took off her hood she looked like a woman that was in her forties it was hard to tell considering the Otsutsuki clan it was more difficult knowing the age of Otsutsuki compared to average humans. They tend to age slower."I have waited for 19 years to finally meet you, Byakugan princess we have much to discuss"the woman said as she motioned for Hinata to sit she sat down she was waiting for her coming why she wanted to know.

She almost flinched when she heard the Byakugan title, which had caused her nothing but pain. She hated it; she didn't want to hear anything about her being the princess. She just wanted to get this over with. There's no way her father knew about this; whoever this person is, it's a ruse to get her to come here. Whatever reason they have, she wants nothing to do with their agendas. The only thing that matters to her is the mission.

"What's the real reason you wanted me to come here alone?" Hinata asked.

"Years ago, I once showed a boy visions of a future that hasn't passed yet. There are multiple future that you will be exposed to, depending on the direction your life takes. The ones you will see more of, however, will be the ones your life is currently headed towards."

The woman explained it to her as if she were explaining something to a child.

"What do you mean by 'possible futures'? What are you talking about?"Hinata asked, not believing that she had such power.

"There's a reason why only those of Uchiha and Hyuga blood are allowed to see my visions. Anyone else would be driven mad. Also, you are the next Byakugan princess. Every one of you has to see a seer when you come of age. You should have seen me three years ago when you turned 16, but that wasn't possible. I hope the lateness of seeing you doesn't do harm to our world."

Hinata didn't like those revelations; what was she talking about?

"The Byakugan princess is nothing more than a myth, a title given to give ignorant children hope about a hero who will come to save them one day. No such thing exists."

The woman looked at her with disappointment.

"perhaps his faith in you it was misplaced."

She had no idea what she was talking about when she was sick of this cryptic nonsense.

"I'm not going to explain anything girl. I'm going to do what I do to everyone, including the privileged princess such as yourself. I am the current seer of the Luna Village. Let you see glimpses of your possible futures."

The woman approached her slowly and touched Hinata's forehead. She saw flashes of everything that was to come, everything that had happened. It didn't make sense she felt like her head was exploding.

visions of possible futures

"I can't lose not with my sister watching me" She heard a voice that sounded like her younger sister. She was facing someone that looked like her cousin Neji, who got in his stance. "You should have forfeited this match when you had the chance; it is not your destiny to win." Neji said coldly. She had seen multiple outcomes: one where Hanabi wins, and another.

"Hanabi Hanabi"

Hinata held her dying sister, Naruto was by her side; it couldn't be happening. It can't be happening.

"No, no, not again!" Her sister's life ended. She looked at Neji in rage, killing him with the birdcage seal, shocking everyone.

She would never kill anyone using that seal, no matter how much she hated the clan. Why was she seeing this? She screamed in pain.

"If you had a choice between Naruto or Sasuke, who would you choose?"

She heard a man with a sinister-sounding voice.

She felt a sharp pain on her neck.

She had almost collapsed in pain, seeing this particular vision.

"I'll make you pay," she heard herself say. Her body engulfed in a purple aura; her body marked with markings. The person standing before her was Itachi Uchiha—the man who had betrayed her.

"Still the weak and pathetic girl you were all those years ago, you haven't changed." said Itachi mockingly.

encountering Itachi was an inevitability why is she being shown this?

"Everyone is dead, everyone you love you failed to protect Naruto and you think you can stop me?" said a man mockingly; she was in a pool of her own blood. The man looked at her triumphantly. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you; my beloved." This confused Hinata; what was she seeing?

Than she saw a site she never thought she'd see

She saw the Hyūga compound burning; she held a child with red hair and whiskers on her cheeks. Her father was dead, killed by her own hand. The child was crying. "Don't worry, mama won't let anyone hurt you again," she soothed the child.

Wait, that was her child, and she had red hair and whiskers. She was confused and she saw another vision in the Hyuga clan compound. This time, it was on fire; all the members were dead. Her sister was in a pool of her own blood.

Then she saw the scene change: The compound was on fire, and she was covered in the blood of all the clan members, from head to toe. The only ones left were her sister.

"Why sister?" She saw herself staring down at her sister's body, fire surrounding her. She heard a voice that wasn't hers but sounded like it." The clan must be purged; you must pay for what you have taken from me." She heard a distorted voice as she saw herself ending her sister's life.

"Why did you do that?" She saw Naruto, who was five years older, holding her broken body. "It's because of me." The vision flashes to another.

"Hinata, come back, turn away from this path; please, I beg of you." She heard her sister say, "she turned around and looked at her with hatred." The village will pay for what they did to him for betraying him." Her body was completely engulfed in a purple aura, and her appearance resembled that of a lion. She charged at Hanabi.

"We shall burn down Konoha together; we'll make them pay for what they did to Hinata-chan." She saw a redheaded woman by her side, though it was hard to make out what she looked like. "I support you in everything you do because I love you." She saw herself walking towards Naruto's side.

"He loved you more than anything, he sacrificed everything for you. There's no greater love than what he had felt towards you"

She was locked in a room and she looked at a masked man"

Liar! He's a murderer! He betrayed me! He betrayed everyone! Everything you say is poison."

Tears were dropping. The cruel truth of what she had learned: everything she thought she believed was a lie. She felt hatred like she had never felt before. Instead of resisting it, she gave in.

She laughed at the ridiculousness of what she had just heard from Naruto and a black-haired girl."I will stop when he's avenged, and every person that was responsible for the massacre is brought to trial and executed. I will stop when Itachi is avenged." The words that came out of her mouth were not ones Hinata wanted to believe.

"I won't let you take him"

Hinata faced an orange-haired man with strange-looking eyes.

"He'll kill you, Hinata-chan! Please fall back!"

She looked at Naruto; he was older.

"I can't do that." she replied.

"I will die to protect you; it's because I love you, tell our daughter I'm sorry and her mother loves her"

Everything happened so fast during the fight; she felt like she lost the feeling of her limbs. He snapped her neck; she tumbled to the ground. Naruto looked at her.

"No!" She heard Naruto scream in anguish.

"Your love for him has blinded you; do you not see what kind of person you have become?" said a raven-haired man, the one she didn't want to see.

"He never betrayed me like you did; you bastard!" She put her fist through his heart, blood splattering everywhere.

"Good, Hinata! You, me, and Sasuke together; we will have our vengeance; we will show the world true pain." She heard a redheaded woman whose face she couldn't make out.

She saw a trail of bodies, and the person she didn't expect to see was Naruto. He looked at her with a cold expression. "You were never supposed to find out like this." he said in a detached manner. "Why?" Hinata asked him. "Because I'm a weapon. Your enemies are my enemies. That's all." Naruto replied as if that would be the end of the discussion.

"This isn't you, please don't do this." Hinata begged, she was crying in the vision. "I'll do it all for you. I told you I'd protect you, even if it costs me my humanity. I'll do what I have to so that your dream can come true." No, she didn't want to see this: Naruto becoming a monster for her. No, no!

"Why Naruto-kun?" she asked, begging him. "It's because I love you; I'll do everything and anything for you, even killing my own humanity - that's how precious you are to me."the vision of herself collapsed on her knees."no please come back to me Naruto Kun I love you please"the Hinata of her vision was begging him to come back to her side.

No, she can't. No, she doesn't want to love again. No, no, no, no, no. She didn't want to see anymore.

"You think you'll bring peace to the world? You think being Hokage is going to change this violent world? You're as naive as Hashirama and Madara. Such idealism has caused nothing but suffering; you are no better than they are." The woman she saw in front of her was like an older version of herself.

She saw other visions, none of which made sense. Alternate futures some of which ended with her death; the same ended with the deaths of her friends. When all was said and done, she collapsed, breathing heavily. She was covered in sweat. She looked at the seer. "What the hell was that? What the hell did I just see?" Hinata demanded.

The woman looked down at Hinata as she sat above her. "What you saw were visions of possible futures."

Hinata had a look of horror on her face. So many futures, so many of them she had betrayed people, so many where she had let love blind her. None of it made sense; she would not love again; she vowed that she would never love again; she made that vow the day Itachi betrayed her.

Hinata was breathing heavily. The possible futures she had seen: betraying her friends, being blinded by love. It couldn't be; she couldn't possibly let someone else into her heart. She saw herself fighting many battles, some where she had come off victorious and some where she was killed. She even saw a future where she had ruled the planet with an iron fist, with Naruto by her side. So many futures she had seen where she had given in to her hatred, even futures where she destroyed her clan and did what Itachi had done to his.

The seer noticed her confusion and spoke to her like she was speaking to a child."What I showed you was possible futures. The future is not written in stone but these visions were also based on fear and the darkness that is in your heart. Also your fear of the mark on your neck that you have concealed."Hinata instinctively put her right hand where the curse mark was. She did not want to think about that thing the thing that Orochimaru had given her 5 years ago.

I have seen many of your futures and many of them you've given to your hatred you become the very thing that you are fighting against. You betray your village, you fall in love again and your love blinds you to support death and destruction. Yet there is hope because in the future where it doesn't happen you open your heart to another again."She did not want to hear it.''In most of those futures I become a monster. How could there possibly be hope? "The woman interrupted her."Foolish child did you not hear what I just said? What you saw was futures that has yet to pass, futures that are possible but not written in stone. Your dream is to be the Hokage to change Konoha. Are you really going to give up because of some visions of a future that could be?"The woman asked as if she was scolding a child Hinata got up to her feet and looked at her with pure rage. "How dare you have no right."The woman slapped her.

"I have every right because you are the Byakugan princess, amongst all members of your clan, you possess the gift to unlock the highest stage of the Byakugan. Your clan descends from ours, and your power can easily destroy our world, just like your ancestor almost did."

Hinata didn't know what she was talking about. "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't possess such power, even if I did, I don't desire it." The woman laughed as if she were laughing at an ignorant child.

"All humans desire power, don't be naive and think you're any different than you're this noble woman that seeks to change Konoha and won't do whatever is necessary to make it happen? You're no saint, Hinata. So spare me this self-righteous indignation. I'm here to inform you of your heritage: you are the Byakugan princess. You can deny it all you wish, but you and only you possess the ability to unlock Tenseigan. Because you are a descendant of Hamura, only someone with his chakra has the ability to unlock such an ability. Only you have the ability to unlock it, due to you being the princess of the Hyuga clan."Hinata did not want to hear any of this nonsense; she had been told this before.

"The Hyuga clan has nothing to do with me. I don't care about this destiny nonsense you dragged me all the way here just to hear stuff I already know and I still don't care." She was about to get up to leave, but the seer wouldn't let her. "You will only leave when I can say you can leave, child. Now sit back down." Hinata did what she was told. "You may deny who you are, you may say your clan has nothing to do with who you are, but sooner or later you will have to accept that the Byakugan princess is who you are. If you don't, one of those potential futures will come to pass. What will it be? I know those visions are supposed to be a warning, and I'm giving you my warning: you hold potentially the entire world in the palm of your hand if you walk away from who you are. Disaster will strike at those that you love or will love in the future. Do not forget this warning. Now go; what you do what you do with my warnings and the visions that you saw is entirely up to you." Hinata was motioned to get back up when she did. Before she left, the seer said one last piece of advice.

"There's one thing I'll tell you, Hinata. If you don't open up your heart and learn to love again, one of those futures will undeniably happen. You've been betrayed. I know you loved once, and the person you loved betrayed you. I only tell you this because if you don't open up your heart, one of those futures will come to pass. Your actions for good or ill could change the fabric of our world. You could be the next Byakugan Queen. You have the potential for it."

Hinata waited for the seer to finish.

"One last question, Hinata. Before you go, how far are you willing to go to protect Naruto?"

Hinata looked at the woman she didn't know what this had to do with anything. She had made a promise to Kushina; she would not go back on her word; that was her ninja way.

"I would protect Naruto by any means necessary."

The woman looked at her curiously.

"Even if it meant going against the world?"

Hinata didn't understand what she meant.

"I don't know what you mean."

She looked confused.

Hinata didn't understand.

"Perhaps in time, you will understand Hinata."

she was about to leave but not before the seer gave her one last warning.

"One of those possible futures will come to pass if you do not pay attention to what Naruto feels for you. You may not want to acknowledge it, but his feelings for you are deep. If you don't understand the depth of his feelings, you will lose him."

She was dismissed and walked away, wanting to get as far away as possible from the possible futures she saw.

The implication was that she might fall in love again, which she didn't want to believe.

She vowed she would never fall in love, and one of those futures was Naruto.

No, it was a possible future she wouldn't fall in love, even with him.
