The Future: Naruto Fanfiction

Chapter 180-FAMILY TENSION

South Fayoth

A breakthrough!

Himawari has been trying for a long time now to increase her strength so that she may make a difference in the battles to come. It has not been easy for her to reach this point; fighting has never been her ambition despite her latent talent for it. She always wanted a different life, to become something other than a shinobi, but the empire has forced her to take up arms. She is forced to fight this war, taking the side championed by both her mother and her father.

This breakthrough is historic though, not just for her but for all of Homeworld. In her inner world there is a tablet engraved with the word 'lightning', aligning itself next to two other similar tablets. They are marked with words of their own, one 'fire' and the other 'wind'. This is the truest representation of Himawari's talent, talent she never wanted to use. With this breakthrough she becomes the first warrior in recorded history to master three elements simultaneously.

Himawari opens her eyes to see her mother smiling at her, the pride as obvious in the princess eyes as it was in the Hyuuga clanswomen who shares her body. Himawari, despite being born in another world, is a princess in this one, the grandchild of the former emperor. It is fitting that this family, once the most powerful in Homeworld, is the one that achieved this seemingly impossible task first. Three elements for one person.

"Which element?" Hinata asks with a smile.

Himawari holds her hand out and creates an arc of electricity between her index finger and thumb. A tremendous power in spite of its small size. Himawari's power has been boosted several times over by this latest breakthrough, power that she has yet to acclimatise to.

"Three elements at once, I've never heard about that happening before," Hinata says proudly, "It's a great accomplishment Himawari, worthy of someone in your position. Since your elements are 'fire', 'wind' and 'lightning', from this day forward you will be known as the Blaze Princess of Homeworld."

Himawari nods and smiles but inside she is still uncertain how she feels about this title that has been given to her. Not just the Blaze Princess of Homeworld, but the fact that she is of imperial descent at all. Before she felt a great pressure as the daughter of Uzumaki Naruto now that pressure has been more than doubled. She knows that one day she will walk into military camps and people will bow to her, affording her respect that she feels she has yet to earn. It is a price she is willing to pay for her mother, but it is a position for which she will have to pay heavily in the future.

"Shall we see what you can do?" Hinata asks.

Himawari agrees. The two stand a good distance apart and Hinata urges her daughter to attack her with her full strength. While a triple-element wielder has never been seen before, it is highly unlikely that Himawari's powers would have increased so greatly as to have eclipsed Hinata's.

Himawari stands and takes a deep breath. One by one she brings her trio of elements into her hand. She gathers flames, gusts, and bolts in miniature form, circling them around one another and allowing them to share divine energy with each other. Each of them grow larger and more powerful seemingly without effort, making Himawari understand for the first time how wielding multiple elements makes one so much stronger.

Waiting for a nod from her mother, the Blaze Princess of Homeworld unleashes the three elements in a solid beam. The three energies, red, silver, and blue swirl around one another in a beautiful triple helix. The energy between the three elements is shared boosting each of their power as they grow in size the closer, they get to Hinata.
