Hinata's true memories end the Grass shinobi battle. This goes out to Robyn and the newest fan, Serenna!
When Daiki was born thirty years ago, not much was expected of him. He was to join the ranks of Grass shinobi, then complete missions until he settled down with wife and kids. At five years old, though, he met Mimic. Then, he met Lieutenent and Captain. Not long after that, the group of four became five when Mimic met his future girlfriend, a girl named Suzume. They grew up together until they were teenagers. When Captain and Lieutenent were 17, and Daiki was 15, Captain and Lieutenent felt a calling and joined the Female Re-education Group. Then, the Grass village leader called Daiki and Mimic to his office. Suzume just tagged along to be with Mimic. The leader took a deep breath and spoke: "Daiki, Mimic, Suzume. You three are pretty decent fighters. And Eiji and Ken have made us proud, joining the Female Re-education Group." Eiji was Captain, and Ken was Lieutenent. "you five are causing a bit too much trouble, though, and it displeases me." Daiki waited for the Grass leader's point. The door opened, and Eiji and Ken entered the room. "Eiji! Ken! I thought you were at the FRG!" Eiji smiled. "we held recruitment back for a couple years for you, Daiki." The Grass leader spoke. "I have a special mission for you five. You heard of the Cloud's failed attempt to kidnap the Hyuga heir?" They all nodded. "you five will succeed where they failed. Infiltrate the hidden leaf and take the Hyuga heir." Ken spoke. "it would be an honor." "Daiki will be the leader of this mission." Daiki could only nod, weighed with responsibility.
Hinata could remember that time of her life, at long last. It was a miserable purgatory, after her father started to lavish his attention on her sister Hanabi and before the Ninja academy, where she met Kureni and Naruto. At least, that's how it started out. When Hinata was born, so much was expected of her as the Hyuga heir. But as the years passed, her father lost interest in her. Then, at age three, the Cloud tried to take her. This soured her relationship with Neji, because his father died. One day, though, when Hinata was five, a group of five people were found left for dead in the forest of the hidden leaf.
When Daiki first met Hinata, he remembered thinking what a cute little thing she was. Daiki was fifteen, after all, and Hinata was five. He had no problem kidnapping her for the sake of the village, though. He talked it over with everyone else, and Suzume suggested a plan that would anchor them here for a couple years. Daiki didn't mind, though.
The day she met Daiki, Hinata had found a quiet bench to cry on because she failed to do well in training again. Hideaki had found her and tried to comfort her, and as Hinata was calming down, a teenager sat down next to her. He had black hair, an easy, confident aura, and brownish eyes with a tinge of indigo. "hey," he said, "why are you crying, little lady?" "I'm not crying anymore," Hinata responded softly. "good," said the teen. "I'm Daiki, by the way. Daiki Maru." "I'm Hinata Hyuga. Are you and your friends ok?" "yeah. Maybe you could meet them sometime. Well, see you around." Daiki left. Hideaki spoke up, "he completely ignored me!" "I'm sure he didn't mean to."
In the years that followed, Hinata met the rest of Daiki's friends: Mimic, Suzume, Eiji, and Ken. Daiki was the person she saw the most though. Always there to comfort Hinata, or hanging out with her just because. Hinata was never happier, and she'd be lying if she she didn't admit having a crush on the charismatic Daiki. Hideaki never got over being ignored, and was suspicious of Daiki and his group. This suspicion would end up costing the ten-year old his life.
One night, when Hinata was ten and Daiki was twenty, Daiki entered the Hyuga compound. He quietly made his way to Hinata's room. Once he entered, he woke Hinata. "Daiki-kun, whats going on?" Hinata asked, her voice thick with sleep. "We're just taking a walk, Hini-chan." Hini-chan was Daiki's name for Hinata. Hinata nodded sleeply. Daiki had taken her on night walks before. As they were walking outside, though, Hideaki appeared out of nowhere. "I found this in your room, Daiki." Hideaki showed Daiki his old Grass village headband. "explain yourself, or I will scream!" Daiki smiled pleasantly. "Hini-chan, I'm going to talk to Hideaki in private. Wait here, please." Daiki let go of Hinata, grabbed Hideaki, and left. Hinata followed, unable to help herself.
"Daiki, who's he?" "chill, Ken. I'll explain." Daiki summarized what happened, and Hideaki looked around, confused. Suzume spoke up, "get rid of the brat and bring me that cute little girl. I wanted to dress up like a little doll." Hideaki gasped, and at that exact moment, an alarm rang. Hideaki and Hinata were just discovered missing. "we're caught!" Eiji hissed, "now what?" Daiki looked at Hideaki. "Eiji, Ken, hold the brat down. Mimic, give me his eyes." They nodded, and obeyed. Mimic put a hand Hideaki's eyes, and when he lifted his hands, Hideaki's eyes were closed. "I can't see! What's happening?!" Mimic next put his hands on Daiki's eyes. When Daiki re-opened his eyes, he had the Byakugan. Hideaki spoke his last words. "if you kill me, you'll all die! This I swear! I curse you five to death!" Daiki took out a kunai and stabbed Hideaki in the heart. Next, he stabbed Hideaki's eyes. "come on, guys let's go." they fled, unaware that Hinata had witnessed to whole thing.
When the Hyuga Jonins found Hinata and Hideaki's corpse, Hinata was staring out into space. The Hyuga Jonins presumed that Hideaki had been killed and mutilated because the enemies couldn't have his eyes. As the days passed, hatred for Daiki bloomed in Hinata's heart. Hinata might have turned into Sasuke, an avenger, if not for one thing. On a cold winter day, Hinata's father brought a girl Hinata's age in her house. She had long, flowing red hair, which she brushed with a pearl brush. The girl laid a hand on Hinata's forehead, and everything went black. The girl was Emi, wiping Hinata's memories and replacing with a false memory. The rest of Hinata's life was history.
When Daiki returned to the Grass village, life moved on. Eiji and Ken joined the FRG, and Daiki, Mimic, and Suzume completed missions as usual. Daiki kept his Byakugan a secret. And so it went for ten years. Eiji and Ken returned, Eiji became Captain, and Ken Lieutenent. They also brought back Izumi. Somehow the Grass village leader found out about Daiki's Byakugan, and gave him an ultimatum: go away, and either bring back powerful shinobi, or don't come back at all. Daiki recruited his old friends, and three more to make nine. When they stopped traveling, they were in the leaf village forest, and after a month of camping, they intercepted a message. The Duo were headed to the Sand village, and they had a Hyuga with them.
Present day: Daiki noted with irony the spectacular way in which Hideaki's curse came true. All his friends were dead, besides Izumi, and she would be spared because she wasn't part of original five. Captain and Lieutenent, a.k.a. Eiji and Ken, were killed by a pair of lesbians. Mimic and his girlfriend Suzume were both killed by a guy in love. And Daiki would probably die at the hands of the Hyuga he meant to kidnap in the first place. The three Grass shinobi he recruited were just unlucky fools caught in the crossfire of the curse. All of sudden, Hinata spoke.
"I never hated anyone in my life as much as I hate you, Daiki." Hinata felt it in her very soul. "I mean, how could you kill a ten-year old? What kind of monster are you?!" A lot of needles started to form around Hinata, all looking very thick and sharp. Daiki paled. "please, have mercy on me! I was just following orders!" Hinata wasn't fooled by the desperate lie. The hatred and darkness whispered in Hinata, tempting her to the path of evil. Then, as Hinata was about to turn her back on the light, a pair of memories hit her. Kiyori telling her, a month ago, "Don't ever let the darkness take you, Hinata-chan." and a long time ago, during the Chunin exams Naruto told her, "I think I like people like you." these memories bounced in her head, telling Hinata what was right. Hinata concentrated, and fused her hatred with the needles. It was hard work, but Hinata drained herself of the darkness and hate, and put it all in the needles. The needles were now a curious dark lavender. Hinata turned to Daiki and said, "you will never harm anyone, ever again." and let the needles fly. Daiki screamed as the needles buried themselves in him, and kept screaming until he died. Two needles had poked his eyes out. Hinata bowed deep and threw up on the forest floor.
