The Broken Children

Chapter 3

Meanwhile, in the Hyuga Compound a certain girl is getting ready for bed.

Third Person POV

"Hinata." Says a male voice from behind a door, trying to remain calm of his daughter's failure.

"H-Hai, Otousan? " Stutters Hinata, already finnished brushing her teeth.

"Hinata, I am very disappointed with you for being outdone by your younger sister. I will have no choice but to fight with you myself. " Says Hinata's father.

When she hears this she immediately acts as if she were to be frightened.

Hinata's POV

'Why do I have to act so scared? I mean, I can surpass him, but I just don't want to. So why? Is it because of my emotions? Am I scared that I won't please my father, no, my clan? ' I ask myself as I act frightened.

"I-I promise Otousan. I-I will become stronger. The-The way you a-and the clan want me to be." I said.

'Even though I already surpassed you, my emotions get in my way. Why does this have to happen to me?'I thought.

"Whatever Hinata. You may leave now. I will see you in the training ground tomorrow morning. " Said my father.

"H-Hai." I said, a glum look on my face, but I could care less.

After that, I walked to my room and went in, just as I arraived. There, I saw how my outside self looked in the mirror. Shy, timid, and so weak. I quickly closed my door and looked it. When I came back, I stripped myself from the ugly clothes I was wearing and quickly put on some shinobi attire. I wore a black shirt with the hyuga symbol on it, some black shinobi shorts under a flat skirt, and a comforting hoodie I found in the Hyuga market. It had my favorite colors, black and purple, and the Hyuga symbol on the back. It made me feel free, especially whenever I went out to practice at night.

I looked at myself in the mirror and could see the real me. The me that didn't act timid. The real me that didn't depend on others. The me that didn't wear the mask.

"Ok," I said "time for some more practice of my defensive skills and medical ninjutsu. "

'Man, if anyone could see me when I practice, they would know not to get to my bad side. 'I thought, sadly smirking at the thought of a shaking person in front of me. 'Well, I won't allow that to happen. I will live behind this mask until after I graduate from the Ninja Academy. Then, maybe, it will break apart and reveal the true me. I just hope none of my friends leave me behind. ' I thought, imagining my friends leaving me because I showed them the true me.

After that, I opened my window and jumped out. As I was soaring above the town, I noticed how peaceful and quiet the village was. It felt nice that the cool wind was blowing through my hair. It calmed me.

"Ok, just another night of practice and then I'll start working on my new jutsu. " I said to myself.

And with that, my evening was very delightful. I practiced on some wooden puppets so that there would be some effect done, but not any actual damage to a human body. I got a scroll and started with my Medical Ninjustsu. I was very good at using the medical arts, and I was wondering whether anyone trained as hard as me.

When I arrived home, I changed into my pj's so I could sleep comfortably. The last thought in my head was.

'Will I be able to have any true friends who can care for me and accept me after my mask breaks? '

Yay!! Another chapter is done. I'm sorry it's shorter that the rest of the others. It's kind of hard to come up with one acu
