Back to the past

*Hinata and the other 21 contestants were all in lines of 3 in front of them were there respected sensei's, the examiners, and most important of all, the 4th Hokage. Minato namikaze, saying the same speech every leader gives*

Minato: this is a custom in which balance is persevered by fighting and dying, in the world of the Shinobi, that is friendship

Minato: this is a custom in which balance is persevered by fighting and dying, in the world of the Shinobi, that is friendship. The third exam is a fight for life, the pride of your village and your own dreams at stake. Now listen closely, I'll be telling you all exactly what you'll be doing on your third exam.

*Minato said, Hinata glanced around and saw her father with the other clan heads, but of course he wasn't paying attention to her. All his attention was on the pride of the hyuga, Hinata's cousin. Neji hyuga. Hinata glanced again at kurenai sensei, she was paying full attention to hinata, smiling. Brightly, her smile made Hinata feel determined, to follow her dream*

Hinata"i will show my father that I deserve my title as the heiress! I will not let kurenai sensei down!"

*The stupid girl..

Back to the present

*Hinata winced when Naruto pops her on the head, Naruto had a calm expression as he eats the dangos*

Naruto:I will not sit here, and let you insult yourself. Remember, The worst enemy any of us will ever face is ourselves.

Hinata:but I was a idiot. I actually thought that I could win, I thought that I could make my father see that I'm worth investing

*Hinata said and flinched, since saying that seemed to make Naruto mad, since Naruto was an Uzumaki. And nothing matters more to an Uzumaki than family, it's in there blood. Kenshin passed a cup filled with tea and Naruto drank it all in one gulp*

Naruto:Hinata you were his child, a child is not something you invest in, it's something you love, something you take care of and cherish, and you my dear are worth that and so much more.

Hinata:I...I of course know that now. That's just what I thought back then. How I used to see myself for a...very long time

*Hinata said, her smile disappearing for a moment, and showing sadness of the life she used to have*

Hinata:I...I won't lie, it got bad. After I was banished I fell into a...very dark place, and did things that I'm not proud off

*Hinata said softly rubbing her wrist, it didn't need to be spelled out to them what she did. Hinata shook her head and smiled again*

Hinata:but Sakura was there for me, she invited me to stay In her apartment, and didn't even ask me to pay rent for the first few months. I....I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for her, I owe her my life, she is without a doubt my very best friend

Kenshin:ah, that's lovely

*Kenshin said with a smile, that Hinata returned. Naruto hummed with a small smile of his own, thinking of all the friends he's made over the years*
