"Hinata! Come over here right now !!" it rang through the whole house again. The Hyuuga heiress swallowed. What was her father complaining about so late in the evening?
She nervously went down the stairs and went to her father's living room, where Hanabi was also sitting. She briefly indicated a small bow and asked what was going on.
"I think it's really pathetic of you! You only trained for four hours today, what do you think of ?! Hanabi is younger than you and a lot better! Finally do something about it! I've told you so many times and I'm slow I'm really sorry, do you hear? If you are the heiress of this family, behave like that and go to training! What does it look like, the strongest clan of Konohas and a weak head! That's a shame, you hear? A shame is that! "Hinata looked down. He cursed once again without a period or comma. `Just let him talk, 'she thought. She was tired of his long sermons and, as always, stopped listening after a while.

"Did you hear? Hinata!" She startled. "V-Excuse me, I was just distracted. I'm sorry ..." "Well, that's the height! Don't even listen to your own father! I said I'll only give you one more chance, understand? Next week you will have time to train and then you will go up against me! If I get to see a decent fight, I won't pass the legacy on to Hanabi, but if I don't even have to make an effort, I will. You have Understand me? "" Yes, Father ... "Hinata muttered and left the room. At the last moment she noticed how Hanabi looked after her with a cloudy look.

Yes, the smaller one also suffered enormously from the pressure that the family put on her just because she was more talented than her older sister. It had become a habit that she had to get better results than she did. And it wasn't always that easy. Hanabi wanted nothing more than to relax for a day and spend it without having to see her father, who always took care of her training personally.The eleven-year-old secretly envied her sister, who was able to train without being watched. Which did not have to do the exercises under the strict gaze of the father. Yes, sometimes she wished she was as useless as Hinata ...

Hinata went out into the courtyard and headed straight for the gate when it opened unexpectedly and Neji entered. A quick look at his cousin's closed face told him that there must have been some gossip again.
"Oh no ... again?" he asked in a sympathetic tone. Hinata just nodded silently and swallowed hard. "Have you allegedly trained too little again?"
Again she nodded. "Now it's even worse ..." she croaked in a dry voice. "I'm supposed to fight him next week and try to defeat him ... but I can't do that, Neji! What should I do now?" Neji looked at her thoughtfully. "Hm ..." he made. "I'm sorry, but all I can think of is exercise ..." he shrugged his shoulders apologetically. "Oh, you're all the same!" Hinata called and stormed past her cousin with tears in her eyes. How could he say such a thing? He knew how hard and disciplined she trained every day and, despite everything, couldn't please her father!

In her blind desperation, she didn't even notice where she was running to. When she became aware of this, she noticed which part of the city she had ended up in - the abandoned Uchiha district.
Sasuke hadn't lived here for almost 3 years and it had become even more eerie. Hinata pulled the jacket tighter and walked slowly through the streets. Only the yellowed fan paintings on the house walls testify to the once proud Uchiha clan. Here the fan sign was really applied everywhere.

Hinata winced horribly when a black cat, hissing, jumped up from a pile of boxes and disappeared into the shadow of a house wall.Trembling, she tried to calm her pounding heart again. `Take a deep breath Hinata, take it easy, nobody can be different here than you! ´ she kept saying to herself in her mind.
Suddenly she was standing in front of Sasuke's house and had to think about what had once happened there.
Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's older brother, had wiped out the entire clan in one night. He had only left Sasuke alive as an avenger. Hinata swallowed. Kind of ironic how that sounded. She was also the older one and she too had problems with her family. Although ... According to the stories, Itachi must have been a model boy, yes, at the age of 13 he had even been the leader of a Anbu troop. Hinata turned her back on the house, no, she wasn't gifted, she was now 16 and only Chunin ... Hanabi was declared a genin at 10 - she was only 12 at 12. It was really embarrassing, her father was right. She was a no-good! She didn’t manage to do anything ... even if she had decided to change as a ninja path ... she really didn’t make it. Especially since Naruto had left the village with Jiraiya, she somehow lacked motivation. Naruto had been her role model ... he had always made her smile, no matter how bad it was ... she had really loved him infinitely for it, but now he was gone. And God knows when and if he would ever return ...

Hinata sat down on a bench and put her head in her hands. What should she do?
She looked up at the full moon questioningly when suddenly there was a sound. Surprised, she turned her head to the noise - there! Again you could hear metal hitting each other. Curious, she went to the meadow that stretched behind the bench.
In the middle of the meadow was a small sacrificial shrine and on its roof hung a kunai that kept beating against the gutter in the wind. The Hyuga looked over at the kunai suspiciously, what did that mean?She walked slowly towards the shrine and saw a letter hanging on it. She tore the thread off the kunai and took a closer look at the letter. "Hinata Hyuga" could be seen in the moonlight. The letter was for her! Confused, she looked around - there was absolutely no one here, she was clearly alone ... She took the kunai and opened the sealed envelope. She walked slowly back to the bank, unfolding the letter.
"Only those who hate can become strong.
Itachi Uchiha "
Hinata drew in a sharp breath, what was that supposed to mean? What should that mean? She took a seat on the bench with trembling legs. Why did the once gifted Itachi Uchiha write such a letter to her? "Only he who hates can become strong ..." she whispered.

Naturally! That was it! All these years she had always disappointed her father, she could do what she wanted and couldn't get anywhere near stronger! She had to focus her anger and anger on him, working towards that goal! Itachi had done the same thing, if what was on the note is supposed to be true. Only now did Hinata realize that she had always agreed with her father, that she had never fought for her opinion,
`Yes Hinata, actually, you are strong, after all, you passed the Chunin test! ´ Hinata got up resolutely and took a deep breath - "Goodbye Hinata!" she said. "From today I'll change, once and for all! This time I'll make it!" Her hand with the letter firmly clenched into a fist, she went back to the property. Hatred and a large portion of self-belief ... that should be the recipe for your new life!
