Last Time On Hinata Reborn…

Sakura was on the floor tired, "Sakura it's time." She sits up and Hinata held out my hand for her scroll. She gave it to her causing her to unroll it bite her thumb drawing blood went thru a few hand signs and slammed her hand on the paper. I gave her the weights, which were 10 pounds each and put them on her ankles I then made them stay there with my chakra, "Only I will be able to take them off or if I die."

She nodded, "Ok"

Hinata then took out the elemental paper and gave it to her, "Focus your chakra on the paper." She did what I asked and the paper started to…

Now:

The elemental paper began to crumble in Sakura's hand.

Hinata smiled at Sakura, "Your element is earth."

Sakura looked at the pieces of rubble in her hand curiously before looking at Hinata, "Is that good?"

Hinata laughed at her question, "There is no good or bad element Sakura. The elemental paper just tells the user what their dominant element is. Nothing more, nothing less."

Sakura looked doubtful at Hinata's response but said nothing, 'Earth huh.'

Hinata coughed to get her attention, "Anyway let's get started on your training."

Hinata began to grin mischievously, "Give me 25 push-ups, 25 pull-ups, and 2 set of 20 crunches. After that you and I will spar and see how well you do with Taijutsu."

Sakura looked at Hinata with dread causing Hinata to laugh, "You wanted me to help you train right? Well there is no holding back!"

Sakura nervously laughed and then began to try to get up noticing she was struggling to her on her feet. As she finally got up her legs began to shake underneath all the extra weight

Hinata then perked up, "Oh and no chakra to help you, okay?"

Sakura whimpered but nodded anyway.

Hinata took out an Earth Ninjutsu scroll and gave it to Sakura, "I am going to only give you one Earth Jutsu to study and if you do well I'll give you the next. I will see how you are doing at the end of the week."

Sakura nodded and took the scroll. Sakura then hesitated, which caused Hinata to narrow her eyes, " What are you waiting for! I want those in 1 hour!"

Sakura scrambled up, only to fall down, because of the weights on her ankles and wrists, "B-But…"

Hinata turned her back, "1 hour Sakura Haruno, or I'll have to put consequence's on the line."

She struggled to get up.

Kakashi then spoke up, "Hinata isn't that a little to much?"

Hinata looked at him curiously, "You think so? I did 5 times the work she is doing now, when I was 5."

Kakashi looked at her with wide eyes, "W-what! You could have been hurt!"

Hinata smiled sadly, "It wasn't Mothers best moments in her life. I did kind of deserve it."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and looked like he was going to say more when Naruto interrupted calling out to Hinata.

Hinata turned to Naruto, "Yes?"

He grinned, "Can you give me hints on how to get to the top?"

She nodded with a grin, "Sure! All you have to do is focus on your goal; which is the very top of that tree. Got it so far?"

Naruto nodded paying very close attention to her words, "Good, now you need to let your instinct guide you a little alright. Focus on your chakra and let your body let you know what is too little or too much. Then do it a few times until you get the hang of it and you do it by yourself with no help from anything."

Naruto nodded, "Thanks Hinata-Chan!"

Hinata grinned at him with her two thumbs up, "You're welcome! Now go give it a shoot, alright?"

He nodded with a big grin, "Right!"

Hinata then turned to Kakashi, "What do you want me to do now?"

"We can both go back to the house." Hinata nodded in acceptance.

~Next Day~

Hinata stood on a tree behind Naruto watching them get closer and closer to the top. She smile at their rivalry, 'They are close. Much closer than they were yesterday and it has only been one day.'

'Hinata…'

'What is it?'

'It's time to train with us.'

Hinata sighed to herself but agreed with Kage and Hikari. She jumped down from her spot to the ground behind Naruto and Sasuke, causing them to jump in surprise,

"When did you get here!?" Naruto screamed.

"A few hours ago." Sasuke narrowed his eyes.

Hinata grinned and held out her hands to both of them patiently. They both looked at her in confusion.

"Your scrolls?"

Their eyes widened in surprise. They both dug out their scrolls.

Hinata took Naruto's scroll first and unsealed it. She picked up the chakra paper and gave it to Naruto, "Focus your chakra into the paper."

He nodded and focused. The paper split into two pieces, "Your element is wind."

Naruto looked very excited. She pulled out a Wind Jutsu scroll, handing it to Naruto,

"Alright Naruto I am giving you this scroll to study and learn from and I'll test you by the end of the week." He nodded and took the scroll putting it in his weapons pouch.

Hinata then put on his weights on his ankles and wrist, the weight 15 pounds each, "Alright Naruto 30 push-ups, 30 pull-ups, and 60 crouches." He nodded and got to work.

She then turned to Sasuke and took his scroll. She removed the chakra paper from on top of the scroll and gave it to Sasuke. He focused his chakra into the paper without her asking him.

The paper burnt and there was a little static, "Interesting… Fire with little bits of static." Sasuke smirked. She took out a scroll for his Lightning Element and also put on Sasuke weights, which were the same as Naruto's, "Same as Naruto." He nodded and began his task.

~Night-Time (Tazuna's House)~

Hinata sat at the head of the table eating her food ignoring Sasuke and Naruto who were competing with one another, the earlier sitting on her right, and the later sitting to her left. Sakura kept complaining about them wasting food by throwing up every time they eat too fast.

Hinata had her eyes closed as if she were calm, while she was actually to Hikari explain what she can do and the ways Hinata can harness her power to her full potential. Naruto got up from his seat only to fall down.

Hinata smiled, "Naruto if your going to train be careful, alright?"

Naruto looked very surprised, "A-alright."

She smiled a bright smile, "Ok."

Hinata then rose and placed her plates in the sink, and went towards the door, "Hinata! Where are you going?"

She turned her head towards Naruto, "Training."

Hinata walked out the door before anyone can protest. She closed the door behind her gently and walks into the forest until she was in a grass opening with a big pond,

"This is a nice place to train for today."

'It is.'

'Alright lets get started.'

She nodded in agreement, 'All right so we will start with Water. Water as you know is calming, but it can be very violent and dangerous. So we will be teaching you how to make a solid water wall.'

Hikari explained how to do it and in three hours she was finally able to perfect it, 'You did really well, water is hard to control.'

She smiled at her accomplishment, ' Now it's time to make elements having to do with water, Ice and snow. You will need to control two elements at the same time and learn how much of each you will need to create Ice or Snow.'

Hinata nodded in determination and began her next step of training.

~Few Hours Later~

Hinata was lying on the soft green grass trying to catch her breath from over exhaustion,

'That's enough. Tomorrow we will learn about Fire, Water's opposite. When we get back you will need to study more on each and every element. There will be nothing on Darkness or Light though since we made sure not to pass any information to the mortals of this world. Someone would have messed up the balance of the world.'

'Thanks Kage, Hikari.'

She knew she wouldn't be able to make it to the house with her chakra so low and her limbs shaking, 'I guess I'm making camp here tonight.'

She jumped in a tree and fell asleep.

Unnoticed by Hinata as she fell asleep Naruto was looking at her in surprise, for he had saw everything she had did.

Naruto looked at her in determination, his eyes flashing red, "Hinata, how are you this strong? What are you hiding?"

He then disappeared into the woods to train.

~Next Day~

Hinata woke up to the sun in her face and got up feeling refreshed. She suddenly heard the sound of footsteps distance away from her. Hinata jumped tree to tree quietly also making sure her chakra was hidden from everyone and everything around her. She crouched on a tree and saw a feminine boy over an unconscious Naruto.

Hinata narrowed her eyes and summoned her katana getting ready to attack him if needed.

The boy then shook Naruto awake, "Hey wake up. You're going to catch a cold."

Naruto woke up slowly groaning, "What?"

He then noticed the boy and blushed.

Hinata blinked in surprise, 'Does he think the boy is a girl?'

They then talked about each other and what there goals were, "Do you have a special person?" The feminine boy asked.

Naruto looked confused, "Someone who is special to me?"

The boy nodded, "You see when a person has a special person, they become even stronger because they want to protect them."

Naruto looked like he was thinking really hard, "Yeah I know exactly what you are saying."

The boy picked up his basket of herbs and got up, "You will become strong, very strong."

Hinata jumped down next to Naruto sheathing her katana, "I agree."

The boy and Naruto looked startled at her presence.

Hinata smirked at Naruto, "You ok, Naru-Chan."

His face got red and he playfully glared at her for the nickname.

Hinata looked at the boy, "Thank you for taking care of Naruto."

He smiled, "It was no problem."

He then walked away, "Remember what I said Naruto. Oh and by the way I'm a boy." He then left.

Naruto's eyes were widened in surprise, "What! B-but he's more cuter then Sakura!"

Hinata laughed ignoring the sting in her chest, "You actually believed he was a she?"

Sasuke then came into view and passed the boy. Sasuke suddenly stopped and looked at the boy.

Sasuke then went to both of them and hit their heads.

"Ow! Why did you do that!" Naruto and Hinata both yelled.

"You idiot's you forgot about breakfast." Naruto and Hinata looked at each other and laughed.

Sasuke sighed at them.

~A few hours later~

"Naruto! Hinata! Sasuke!" Hinata heard Sakura.

She looked at Naruto, who grinned with an idea.

Causing Sasuke and Hinata to look at one another and sigh. Hinata could feel that her two teammates had little to no chakra if Naruto would to go through his little prank. Naruto threw his Kunai a few inches away from Sakura and Kakashi sensei's, "Hey is this high enough of you!"

Naruto laughed he then stood up and then finally, he slipped. He yelled in fake fear, but then hung up side down laughing. Sakura was yelling at him in fury, but suddenly Naruto's feet detached from the branch causing him to fall. Sasuke snapped into action and grabbed Naruto's foot. Hinata then flashed though a few quick hand signs as Sasuke fell with Naruto.

"Water Style: Water Floor!" Hinata cried out as she finished the signs.

A floor made out of solid water to stop there fall. They went on the water, made out of the water in the soil and a pond near the area mixed with her chakra. Her chakra gripping onto their bodies as they hit the water stopping their fall. Everyone sighed in relief, Kakashi starred at her with a surprised look on his face. Hinata jumped down from her branch to the ground safely a little tired from the work of the jutsu. Sakura and Kakashi decided to go back to Tazuna's house and left.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at her with a serious expression on their faces, "How did you do that? Who taught you?" Sasuke demanded, Naruto said nothing waiting for my response.

"I read it in a scroll." Hinata lied to Naruto who looked at her with a sad expression like he knew she was lying, but didn't call her out on it.

Hinata noticed his expression causing her to back away and leave.

~Night Time~

Hinata walked to Tazuna's house after training with Kage with Fire; which lead to lightning. It was harder then water at times since it was the opposite of water,

'Tomorrow we will be going over both of the elements to make sure they will accept being wielded by you.'

'Accept?'

'Yes with us you will be able to connect with them better then any shinobi and need to make sure that they accept you or it will get out of hand and possibly kill you in the process.'

Hinata winced at the mental image of being burned alive or drowning in icy cold water. Hinata finally made it to the house and walked in.

Hinata noticed Sasuke and Naruto all scratched up from there training. Naruto noticed her first and grinned at her, which didn't match his eyes as his eyes flashed with sadness, "We made it to the top."

Hinata smiled a fake smile, "That's great."

Hinata then sat down and waited for dinner to be served.

Kakashi sat on the head of the table Sakura to his right, next was Tazuna, next Inari, and then finally Tsunami, who sat across from Kakashi. On the left was Sasuke, Hinata, and then finally Naruto, who starred at her from the corner of his eye; Sasuke was also looking at her from the corner of his eye also. Inari's mother, Tsunami, served them food, and they dug in.

Tazuna then spoke up after clearing his throat, after they were done with dinner, "In a few more days the bridge will be done."

Tazuna then asked Kakashi why we had chosen to help him even though he lied to us in the beginning.

Hinata had a zoned out expression on her face, 'Hinata, when will you tell Naruto.'

'Soon… I just need to prepare myself just incase everything turns chaotic.'

'Do you think Naruto will reject you even though he has the Nine Tailed Fox, Kyuubi?'

'It's possible. We don't even know if he knows anything about Kyuubi being inside of him.'

'I think you would be surprise.'

'You're right. He does have a habit of doing the unexpected.'

Inari brought her out of her thoughts by asking, "But why?"

Hinata looked at him in confusion, "Why what?"

Inari slammed his hands on the table, "All this training is a waist of time! Gatou and his army are going to destroy you! You are no match, you're too weak you wont be able to kill him! You know NOTHING about suffering or being treated like dirt."

FLASH BACK

It smelt of alcohol and blood and in the middle was a 5-year-old girl, Hinata Matarashi, and her drunken mother, Anko Matarashi,

"You're weak, Hinata! Everyone will be able to kill you easily if you don't become stronger!"

Hinata starred at her mother with an expressionless look on her face ignoring her wounds that were inflicted by her mother, both mentally and physically, "Then I have to prove you wrong."

ANOTHER FLASH BACK

As a small Hinata walked through the hidden village she could feel the glares of disgust and hate on her body. Hinata was suddenly grabbed and dragged into a dark ally way. Chunin and Jounin alike glaring at her in disgust,

"You little monster! It's your fault that there are only two people of hundreds left in the Matarashi clan! You should have not been born!"

Hinata took all of the hits, mentally and physically, with no word or sound even when the weapons of the ninja, kunai and every weapon dug into her skin; the very same people who were to protect the people inside these very walls.

'If this is how it is now I will change it all and make a better, safer village for the future…'

END OF FLASH BACK

"Shut up! You stupid little brat! You know nothing about me. Stop fucking crying, you have a loving mother and a grandfather! Stop whining about how your life is not perfect! Be lucky for what you have and stop looking what you don't have. You want something than fight for it! Stop being a stupid, cowardly, cry baby!" Hinata rose up from her seat and went towards the door, "Hinata where are you going!"

Hinata turned to Kakashi feeling her rage trigger Kage's chakra, "Training, don't wait up. He thinks I'm weak. Then I will continue doing what I have been doing all my life; proving everybody wrong about me."

Naruto and Sasuke moved to get up, but Hinata stopped them: "You guys stay here for about an hour before you train again. You need a break, both of you."

They looked as if they were going to protest, but they nodded in understanding. Hinata walked out of the door, and into the forest practicing on her water and fire elements for the rest of the night.

With Team Seven

Sasuke and Naruto watched as Hinata walked out of the house:

'What have you been through Hinata?'

Naruto glared at Inari for the pain he unknowingly caused to his teammate. He didn't notice Sasuke doing the same. Naruto got up and decided to take a long shower before training once more. Naruto returned to his room to retrieve an extra pair of clothes, and went to the bathroom.

When Naruto turned on the water he noticed his weights suddenly became much lighter, if He didn't have the marks on his ankles he would have thought they were ever there. After a while of cleaning and relaxing his sore body from his daily training Naruto got out, drying himself and put his clothes on. Naruto went to the guest room that Sasuke and him were sharing and saw Sasuke had also took a bath in the other bathroom, and that he was reading a fire scroll Hinata gave him. For the first time in his life without complaints he followed Sasuke's example and began reading his wind scroll.

~Next Morning~ (With Hinata)

Hinata's sleeping form stirred as she began to wake up from over exerting herself from training the previous night. When she finally opened her eyes and sat up the first thing she noticed that her clothes were slightly burnt and damp. She then began to look around to see the training field she chose the first time training was burnt in some places and large puddles in other areas. Even though there was extensive damage to the area she felt much lighter then she has ever felt.

She got up and sighed, "Guess that's what happens when you release pent up emotions."

She began to stand as she observed the area and frowned, "I'm a ninja and I let myself snap because of something a kid said! Damn it I still have a long way to go. I can't believe I have such little control!"

Hinata crossed her eyes and sighed in disappointment, " I am a protégé when it comes to the ninja arts, but I can't even interact well with others."

Hinata began to walk in the direction Tazuna's house with a guilty expression, 'I have to apologize to Inari or I'll feel guilty for the whole day'

Hinata walked on the path to Tazuna's house to see two men in front of Tazuna's house with swords beating on Inari and his mother.

Hinata acted quickly and placed a Genjutsu around Inari and his mother, making them fall into a deep sleep. Hinata's body reacted quickly snapping one of the men's neck tossing him into the river.

The other assassin ran to her in rage with his katana attempting to stab her. As he swung down Hinata grabbed the Katana in between her palms and began to put chakra into her hands to make them stronger, and snapped the blade in half. He dropped his katana, and before he can do anything else Hinata hit him, with chakra still infused in her fist, into his Adam's apple. He gripped on his neck and his eyes rolled back, then falling off the path and into the water sinking to the bottom.

Hinata ran to Inari and his mother quickly dispelling the Genjutsu. Hinata looked them both over to see they were only a little bruised causing her to sigh in relief, 'I got here just in time.'

Hinata was surprised when she found herself being held tightly by a crying Inari and his mother and hesitantly pat their backs gently like how she had witnessed a mother do to her child when she was little: "It's alright you two."

They stopped crying within a few minutes and released their grip from her: "Thank you Hinata-Chan."

Hinata nodded relieved when they released her before turning serious: "You're welcome, where is the rest of the team if you don't mind me asking."

Tsunami, Inari's mother, answered for her: "They went to the bridge to help Tazuna. If there were assassins here they must be in trouble on the bridge."

Hinata nodded in agreement: "You're right! I need to be going. Will you two be alright?"

Tsunami nodded with a reassuring smile: "We'll be fine, go!"

Hinata nodded and went to rush the bridge, but she stopped and began rubbing the back of her head with a sheepishly grin, "Where is the bridge again?"

Tsunami sighed and gave her directions. Then she was on her way to the bridge to help Tazuna, and save her team.

~Few Minutes Later~

When Hinata finally arrived the first thing she saw was Sasuke and Naruto inside mirrors looking a little worse to wear: "Naruto! Sasuke!"

Everyone turned to her in surprise.

Sasuke then yelled to her quickly: "Protect the bridge builder, Hinata! Naruto and I will finish him."

Hinata nodded in understanding: "Good luck!"

Hinata then appeared in front of Sakura and Tazuna with a grin: "Yo, sorry I'm late. I guess I'm getting bad habits from Kakashi-Sensei."

Sakura smiled, "At least you're here now."

Hinata quickly summoned her katana ready for anything. Zabuza then appeared before her with blood lust in his eyes: "Finally! I've been waiting for a good fight. Now let's fight to the death!"

Zabuza ran to her intending to kill her in one blow and Hinata dashed to him with her katana in hand. Both of their swords began clashing and making little sparks. They were suddenly at a standstill for a while until he moved to kick her in the side. Hinata used her chakra to strengthen her arms shoving him back away from her before he can land a blow.

Hinata began to pant a little feeling a little drained and made a quick decision: 'Kage give me a little chakra.'

'Fine.'

Hinata felt Kage's chakra going through her chakra network. The tension in the air got thick with blood lust.

Zabuza began laughing a bloodthirsty laugh: "Finally, let your instincts out! Aim to kill me!"

Hinata grinned back with a bloodthirsty grin to match as she felt Kage's blood lust for a great battle, and to finally be able to see blood. Hinata run at him with her katana in hand and slashed his arm as she passed him with unbelievable speed. Hinata felt the eyes of everyone on her, and she looked back at Zabuza with a mocking grin: "Oi! Are you this weak? I expected to not land a mark on you for at least an hour. What a disappointment Zabuza."

There was a sudden scream from Sakura: "Hinata behind you!"

As Hinata turned around she saw Zabuza ready to strike her head on with his sword attempting to slice her in half. Hinata's body reacted quickly and jumped landing on the tip of his sword giving him a grin stating "Surely you can do better!"

He growled darkly at her, and then they clashed at each other though to everyone else they were a blur. Every once in a while they could see blood in the air and on the floor.

Then suddenly Zabuza fell to his knees, as did Hinata, from exhaustion.

Hinata grinned spitting up a little blood from her mouth: "You're not half bad Zabuza."

He chuckled and coughed up blood: "For a beginner, you're not half bad ether Hinata Matarashi."

Hinata suddenly heard the sound of birds chirping.

Hinata looked to see Kakashi with lightning on his hand. He rushed to Zabuza, and was about to put it through his chest, but was interrupted. Suddenly the boy from the forest that Naruto and Hinata talked to in the forest appeared in front of Zabuza taking the blow; his blood went everywhere, some of it landing on Hinata's face whose eyes were looking to the boy with disbelief.

The boy was about to fall to his knees, but Hinata caught him. Hinata was surprised to see him still alive, but barely he coughed up lots of blood on her face. The boy came to Hinata's ear whispering something that only she can hear causing her eyes to widen in confusion, shock, and finally grief.

Hinata suddenly nodded: "Alright, I accept your gift. Since it is your dying wish."

He smiled a bright smile, and went limp in her arms the smile still on his face.

Hinata heard Zabuza chuckle: "Well done Haku. Freezing Kakashi on the ground after your death." Zabuza swung his sword to cute Kakashi in half. Hinata appeared in front of Kakashi stopping the sword with her hands ignoring the deep cuts: "How dare you throw Haku's life to the side like a piece of trash!"

Hinata then heard Naruto yelling to Zabuza: "You're going to pay for that!"

Kakashi interrupted both of them: "Hinata, Naruto! Stay out of this battle!"

Hinata growled and threw Zabuza back. Hinata then used chakra in her hands and began trying to pull Kakashi's feet free.

Sakura looked to Naruto and smiled: "Naruto! So you and Sasuke made it out! Hey where's Sasuke?"

Hinata got up from her crouching position as she freed Kakashi's feet from the ice, and went to Naruto.

Hinata then noticed the look of sorrow from Naruto as she turned to him: "Naruto?"

He looked at her, and what she saw brought her to widen her eyes in surprise as she saw that he had tears in his eyes.

Sakura just ran past Naruto and Hinata with Tazuna. Hinata starred at her in surprise, 'How do you not check one partner, but go straight to the one far away? If Naruto was hurt would she just go straight to Sasuke anyway?'

Hinata turned to Naruto and noticed he had a look that he expected Sakura to run to Sakura and starred after her with a sad expression. Hinata snapped her head to the sudden sound of Sakura crying, and Naruto started breaking down.

Hinata felt something twist in her heart at the sight of Naruto breaking down and Sakura's cries at their deceased teammate, "Naruto, let it out."

Hinata blinked away tears that were threatening to come out, trying to be strong in front of her remaining team.

Hinata felt tears threating to break free: "Hinata you can cry too." Naruto said through his tears.

Hinata felt as if a dam burst inside of her and tears began to run down her tears. Zabuza's arms were now useless since Kakashi broke them when they were fighting. Gato then appeared in the scene with his lap dogs: "How disappointing Zabuza."

Zabuza looked very confused: "What is this!" Gato then explained that he was going to make sure he died for he would not have to pay him. Zabuza growled in rage at being doubled crossed. Gato went to Haku stating how he almost broke his arm.

Hinata then realized he was going to kick Haku, and she appeared behind him placing the sword to his neck: "Touch him and I'll make sure you regret it."

The team gasped as they saw Hinata's eyes, her fundus turned black while her eye color went from black into bright red.

'Hinata… what is going on!'

Gato gulped and put his leg down: "I did what you asked now let me go."

Hinata chuckled darkly and had a bloodthirsty grin: "I don't think so."

Hinata slashed his throat with no remorse: "Be grateful I even gave you a quick death."

Hinata shoved him to the side so he won't land on Haku glaring at him in disgust.

Zabuza then appeared behind her: "I thank you, Hinata Matarashi, for protecting Haku."

He rushed past her after taking her katana handle into his mouth- killing half of the assassins within minutes, but in the process he was now on the brink of death. Zabuza stumbled to Haku, and fell to his knees.

Hinata walked to him glaring at those around her, and lifted him up to his feat and leaned his body weight on hers: "Thank you."

"No problem."

When they got to Haku she helped him gently on his knees taking out the weapons in his back. Then laid him down next to him gently.

Hinata's head then turned to the sound of Sasuke's voice. Hinata looked in the direction of Sasuke to see him breathing, and she laughed: "Haku. You-"

Sasuke waved at Naruto and Hinata.

Hinata then heard the other assassins: "What do we do for pay! Lets raid the village!"

They went to go to the village, but an arrow landed in front of them, causing them to back up.

Everyone looked to see the villagers with weapons, and little Inari with a little cross bow in the front. The villagers then said: "You have to get through us first!" Naruto smirked and made the shadow clone hand sign: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Fifteen clones appeared behind him smirking at them. Kakashi did the same thing also grinning. They all then ran away into a boat quickly taking off.

~Few minutes later~

Team Seven buried Haku and Zabuza next to each other, and laid down some flowers.

Sakura turned to Kakashi sensei: "Sensei is that the true way about a shinobi. That we are just tools for everyone else to use?"

Kakashi sighed: "Shinobi are just tools under the Hokage's rule. It is also the same in the hidden leaf village."

Naruto frowned at Kakashi's answer clearly not liking the answer to the question, "If that's how things are then something is wrong."

Sasuke nodded in agreement.

Naruto grinned, "I'm going to be my own ninja from now on!"

Hinata grinned at him: "Sounds like a plan."

Naruto and Sasuke grinned back and Kakashi laughed. Within a few minutes it was time to go back home. We were on the bridge and everyone was telling us to be safe.

Hinata turned to look at Inari: "Inari, I'm sorry about all the cruel things I said. Even though they were all true I should have worded it differently. Though now I can see that you have grown up."

Inari looked at her in confusion and amusement, "Thanks?"

"You're welcome!"

Kakashi hit her on the head, "You no what never mind I'm sorry about everything."

Everyone laughed and they were then on their way to the leaf.

Inari then screamed: "Come back soon!"

They waved and were on their way.

Hey Guys! I'm sorry about the long wait! I'm finally done with my first year of college YAY~ I'm sorry for any mistakes I have looked over this chapter many times trying to catch any mistakes I had in this chapter. As I went through my reviews apparently a guest made it known that he had read this story before under a different name. I have changed my name from REDandBLACKlunerwolf to AzmarieLeeLee for a good while now, and if it is under another name. If this is true I had no idea that there was another story just like mine and would be grateful if someone were to let me know if this is true. Thank you all for your patience and for all of your reviews!

Regards,

AzmarieLeeLee
