The Lion Of The Leaf (Return of the Mysterious Fourth Sanin)

Confession

(The photo at the top is the redesign for Hinata I'm using for this story)

-Flashback-

Little Naruto: Now get this!

I'm absolutely gonna

be named the Hokage!

You just watch, everyone!

-He runs through a crowd of villagers surprised but his declaration.-

Villager 1: That boy.

-Amoung them is a blushing little Hinata-

He's...

Villager 2: The awful Nine-Tails...

Villager 1: Hey, that topic is taboo.

-Hinata looks up at her caretaker.-

Little Hinata: Nine-Tails?

What's the Nine-Tails?

-The caretaker looks at her and smiles.-

Caretaker: It's something you do not

need to know, Lady Hinata.

-She looks back in the direction the boy ran off too.-

But...you must not go near that boy.

-Flashback ends-

-Hinata worries about Naruto.-

Hinata: Naruto-kun...

-Back on the battlefield Pein looks down at the captured Naruto.-

Pein: You argue that my vision

of peace is fake.

But in this cursed world,

there is nothing more fictional

than a peace where people can

truly understand one another.

-Naruto's mind flashed back to a talk he had with Jiraiya during there training trip.-

Jiraiya: But I have faith that

there will come a time when people

can truly understand one another.

-Naruto turns to Pein with a look of defiance-

Naruto: Pervy Sage believed that the day

would come when people truly understand

one another.

You're wrong!

Pein: Empty word...

What can you do when you can't

even back up your answer?

All you are good for...

-Pein pulls out a chakra rod, as Nagato speaks through the puppet.-

...is giving me the power

of the Nine-Tails.

Like I told you earlier...

your death will lead to peace.

-Flashback-

Little Hinata(to herself): I want to grow up to

be a great ninja...

-The scene switches to a Hinata standing with her father and mother who holds a baby Hinabi.-
