Hinata sensei

the training of Team 7

It would be 3 hours before Hinata would be on the training grounds with her team, who were training to give Naruto private lessons. She got up from her bed and went into the shower. She had forgotten to bathe the previous day due to being so focused on the Bell Test. She let the hot water fall over her body; it would be so tempting just to take her time. The hot water felt nice on her skin, despite coming from a prestigious clan. She refused to depend on her clan for finances; she paid for everything on her own, even though her appearance wasn't something she particularly cared about. It was important to maintain her appearance because a ninja's body is a weapon, and one of kenichi's greatest assets is their body. It should be taken care of.

Her appearance is not her priority, but considering that, she's kenichi, her pride won't allow her to not look her best. After all, everything is a weapon, including her body, which disgusts her that she must see her body in that way or see it in that way; but it's the truth: her body is a weapon, just like any other, and making sure to take care of her appearance is like sharpening a blade on a katana or a shuriken. Her appearance is useful to catch men off guard and get them to talk; she doesn't like it, but she's not going to not use it, whatever tools she has at her disposal; they have helped her on many of her missions.

She was once offered a position in the Abu because of her looks and how useful it would be, and how good she would be at the job. She could have accepted, but she had no desire for that kind of life.

Work assignments in the Abu Black Ops can be anywhere from months to years, and she has no desire for it. Not to mention the mental toll it takes on the individual; most don't serve in the Abu for more than five years. The kinds of things required by those who are part of that occupation change them fundamentally to their core.

Not to mention, she has no desire to lose herself; she wants to become Hokage, and she doesn't want to lose her humanity in the process. Because that's the danger of being a part of the Abu. The standard for the Abu isn't nearly as bad as Root, which shouldn't exist as an organization, but it does if she were Hokage. She would have forced the organization to disband permanently, either officially or not.

She was thinking too much as the water continued to drop on her body. As she rubbed the soap she usually used, she thought about everything that had happened. Her promise to Kushina, that she had made when she was almost 6 years old, about a week before Naruto's birth, was something she took very seriously. She was determined to keep that promise. Some would criticize her for holding on to a promise of a little girl she has no obligation to keep.

Kushina inspired her to become a great kenichi, and she almost became the fourth Hokage. Had it not been for the bias against her by the civilian council, she would have been the fourth Hokage. She was so furious when she was a child; she was only four years old and she recalls the memory vividly. It was one of the few times the shy and timid girl who she was ever got angry openly. Minato, her husband, was chosen instead. He was a great Hokage for the time that he was. When she felt like Kushina was robbed of something that was hers by right, that she had worked hard for.

She cried when she thought about her and Minato, who were important people to her. Her mother was a great friend of theirs, as was the man she refuse to call father.

After she was done rubbing the soap on her body and washing it off, she went to the shampoo that she uses and rubbed it through every inch of her scalp. She was determined to have her hair clean. Impressions were everything after all. After a few minutes of ensuring that every ounce of her scalp was covered, she washed it off and then used conditioner for her hair. She had lavender conditioner in order to make her hair look and smell nice.

She would be called a hypocrite for chastising Sakura, but there was a difference between focusing solely on your appearance and taking care of your appearance. She hopes to instill that difference to Sakura in time. All Kenichi cares about their appearance to one degree or another, considering how useful their bodies can be in interrogation and getting what they want from men who have viable information. It is especially useful for deceiving enemies by getting them to lower their guard. She hopes to instill those lessons into Sakura. She has the potential to be a great ninja, but for her potential to be completely brought out, she would have to get over her infatuation with Sasuke.
