All In The Eyes

Chapter 30

Summary:
Hinata's Backstory! the Hyuga Elders are assholes. Hisashi's not that bad but needs to do better.

As the daughter of the current Hyuga Clan Head, Hisashi Hyuga, it was expected for his eldest daughter, Hinata Hyuga, to become heiress. Only there was a problem...

Hinata was timid, a weakness viewed by the Hyuga Clan. So to get rid of this weakness, the Hyuga Elders decided to make Hinata's training more gruesome when she was of age to start training. Hoping it'll make her timid nature go away.

Only it didn't.

When she with her Mother, she was learning clan politics and acting like a lady. But Hinata didn't like acting like a lady. One time while she was playing in the garden with Hanabi, she found a hose and turned all the dirt into mud. She and Hanabi had so much fun and were covered in mud. It was all fun until Hanabi's caretaker found them soaked in mud.

Hinata was screamed at by the Hyuga Elders and was smacked across the face with enough force to immediately bruised. Hinata was 2.

Hinata's life became harder. Hinata was kidnapped by the Head Ninja of Kumogakure who was in Konoha under the guise of signing a peace treaty between Kumo and Konoha.

Hinata was playing alone in the garden when she saw a man dressed in black. Hinata tried to run a away but the ninja pressed her face against a cloth with a strange chemical that almost immediately made her pass out.

Hinata was almost taken away if it wasn't for her Father, who killed the man. Hinata was then brought to the Hyuga medics.

The leader of Kumo was angry that Hisashi killed his head ninja and demanded his body. Hizashi, Hisashi's younger twin brother, went instead and died in the process. This was named the Hyuga Affair. Since then, Neji, Hizashi's son, hated Hinata.

Hinata was incredibly sad that Neji started to hate her, they were friends before the Hyuga Affair. It didn't help that Neji was branded with the Hyuga Caged Bird Seal after.

Hinata always admired Neji. He was a prodigy in Gentle Fist and a faster learner than Hinata ever was. Neji started to resent the Main House, seeing as someone as weal as Hinata would soon rule the clan while some like Neji, someone who was born talented, would live and die serving her. Hinata was 3.

Hinata's training was gruesome and emotionally scarring. Sometimes after training, Hinata would have nightmares about training and dying because of it.

It didn't help Hinata's mindset that her Father was spending more time with her younger sister Hanabi. He started to train with Hanabi personal while he left Hinata at the hands of the elders.

The elders were cruel. They demanded so much of Hinata, not caring if she was only 5 at the time. Eventually Hisashi decided on who would be the next heiress, Hinata and Hanabi would fight for the title.

Hanabi would train with their father but the elders lost faith in Hinata, believing she would fail, and decided not to train her anymore. Hisashi then decided Kurenai Yuhi would be her temporary teacher until the fight.

Kurenai was nice. She wouldn't yell at Hinata for making a mistake. She even encouraged Hinata's interested in other jutsu that wasn't Gentle Fist. Hinata begged her to teach her Genjutsu and she agreed.

Hinata learned all Kurenai taught her, Hinata was sad that she had to leave Kurenai to go back to the Hyuga Clan Compound.

The fight against Hinata and Hanabi was a brutal one. At first, Hinata hesitated from not wanting her hurt her sister. But Hanabi took this chance to sweep her feet. They fought and Hanabi had the upper hand.
