Naruto: Changing Fate

He wasn't scared by me... Is this kid, like Sasuke, not very familiar with that rumor?

After getting closer, Naruto noticed that the little guy crouching on the ground in front of him not only didn't show any fear or panic when he found out about his arrival, but instead allowed himself to slowly pull him up from the ground without any resistance. The panic-stricken eyes actually became more relieved and relaxed, and he joked to himself while being surprised.

Well, maybe I went to the doctor because I was sick and didn't realize that I was the 'monster' that the villagers called me.

Now, don't cry all the time, be good, be good... Hiss, your hands are really cold. It looks like you must have been freezing in this cold weather for a long time.The hand that covered the little guy in front of him was held in his palm. Apart from the soft touch of baby fat that is unique to young children, it was as warm as a popsicle. Naruto couldn't help but feel sorry for this cute and docile little guy, and at the same time, without thinking, He started to take off the coat and scarf that kept him warm, and put them on easily before Hinata could react.

……well?This is... By the time Hinata, who was already a bit vague in her subconscious due to the cold winter, came to her senses, Naruto had already taken off his clothes and put them on Hinata's body, slowly dissipating the chill from his body with the residual warmth contained in them. , Naruto's instinctive and casual act of concern also made Hinata's heart warm.

hey-hey!You should feel a little warmer now, right?With a smile in his eyes, Naruto comforted the shy and introverted little guy in front of him, and at the same time, he looked at the person's young face.

But...but, if you put these on for me, you...you won't...Looking at Naruto's thin and thin body after taking off his coat and scarf, although he was greedy for the bursts of warmth from the clothes on his body, he still I mustered up the courage to ask softly, and tried to take off my clothes and return them to Naruto as I spoke. My words... I didn't... I didn't ask...

Ah, don't worry, don't worry, you need these clothes to keep yourself warm more than me now, don't you?Hearing this, Naruto habitually covered Hinata's little head with his free hand and rubbed it gently. He didn't care to stop the person's actions, but at the same time, he made Hinata's little head become more and more rosy and even slightly emitting steam. I ignored my face as my body's natural reaction to protect myself from the cold. These eyes...white eyes?Are you a child of the Hyuga clan?

……well……!As soon as Naruto finished speaking, he finally noticed that Hinata, who was looking at his eyes, was becoming more and more shy and blushed. He lowered his head and buried it deeply in the red scarf around his neck to cover his eyes. At the same time, he nodded slightly. Inaudible responded. ...Well, my name is Hinata Hina...

That's good!In this case, I probably know where your family lives!It’s already so late, your family must be worried!Before he could hear Hinata's next words clearly, after seeing her nodding to confirm his guess, Naruto stood up directly, looked around and determined the direction leading to the Hyuga clan's territory, then held Hinata's little hand and smiled. Take the right path home.

Come, grab my hand and I'll take you home.

……Um.

Just like that, Naruto, who was not aware of how easy his words were to distort people's thoughts, and Hinata, whose face became even more rosy after hearing the words clearly, almost the same as a ripe tomato, jogged all the way and quickly disappeared into the dark alley.

……

Just as Naruto and Hinata were marching towards the territory of the Hyuga clan without haste, there was a complete explosion in the ancestral temple where the Hyuga Hizashi memorial ceremony had just ended.

What?Haven't you found Hinata yet?

Hinata Hizu's usually calm face was now frowning and full of anxiety. While pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, he muffled questions about the tribesmen who came to report.

Yes... I'm extremely sorry, Mr. Hinata. We have carefully searched the territory with our Byakugan dozens of times, but we still can't find any trace of Mr. Hinata. Please forgive me for my incompetence...

There were ferocious green veins protruding from the eyes of the visitor, which had obviously activated the Hyuga clan's unique blood-stained Byakugan... But even if he and his companions used the 360-degree Byakugan to explore, such a long search was in vain. Returning, the leader who was supposed to be responsible for guarding Hinata secretly at all times could not help but feel filled with shame and self-blame.

It seems that Hinata is no longer within the territory of the Hyuga clan... Although Hizu was mentally prepared for the results of this search, after hearing the report from his subordinates, he still couldn't help but feel huge waves in his heart.

Are those damn ninjas from the Kingdom of Thunder coming back without keeping their promises?Or is it not just the Kingdom of Thunder that is the enemy lurking in the Konoha Ninja Village, spying on Byakugan's secrets?

No matter what the guess is, it will not be good news for Hinata who has been missing for so long... Damn it, when did Hinata disappear? Why didn't I notice it at all?Could it be that God wants Hizashi's sacrifice to be wasted and that after I have tasted the pain of losing my brother, I have to lose my daughter again!

No, no, no, calm down, calm down, Rizu...calm down!Think about it, think about it quickly... there must be some remedy!

...Hizu-sama, should we...report this matter to the Sandaime Hokage-sama and the others?

...Sandaime Hokage-sama... Is it... Rizu was in a mess, gritting his teeth and desperately thinking of countermeasures. After hearing the questions from the tribesmen around him, Hizu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the center of the ancestor worship temple. The tightly closed coffin remained silent for a long time.

Indeed, the disappearance of Hinata, the heir to the clan, was serious enough to report to the top management of Konoha for help... But Hizashi, who had just experienced the death of his twin brother Hyuga and Hizashi on his behalf, could not survive at this moment. Thoughts on reporting to senior management.

Although in name, Hizashi voluntarily died in Hizashi's place... but this decision was the best plan decided by Konoha's senior management bypassing him, the leader of the Hyuga clan!

Nizu knew clearly in his heart that he indeed had an unshirkable responsibility for the death of his younger brother Hizashi...

However, he knew clearly that the cause of the incident was that the ninjas of the Kingdom of Thunder forcibly abducted Hinata when he was discovered by himself and died in self-defense. However, he was too cowardly to directly respond to the arrogant and aggressive Thunder Country and chose to sacrifice the lives of the Hyuga clan to appease the enemy Konoha. The higher-ups... In a sense, it can be said that they are the people in power who are aloof and considerate of the overall situation, forcing Hinata Hizashi to embark on this path of death!

Under the influence of the gap caused by this extreme thought, how could the current Rizu be willing to ask Konoha's top brass for help again... God knows who they plan to force to death after asking for help this time?

... Order the first, second, and third teams to continue searching for Hinata’s whereabouts in the territory!Thinking of this, Hizu continued to take deep breaths to force himself to calm down. After a pause, he frowned, waved to the Hyuga clan ninjas who were waiting around, and decisively ordered, Teams [-], [-], and [-], expand the search area. To the whole village!

yes!Then... Hokage-sama's side...

...Sandaime Hokage-sama, I will report to him personally later.Rizu, who made up his mind to avoid senior officials and start taking action, waved his hand to interrupt his subordinates' inquiries, then opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily, "Listen to me!"Search carefully and don't miss any blind spots...

Even if the village is turned upside down, I still have to find Hinata!

yes!Lord Nizu!

After all the tribesmen around him dispersed and joined in the search operation again, Hizashi, who had been tense, turned around and walked step by step towards Hizashi's coffin. He stretched out his hand to caress the delicate patterns on the coffin while looking at it. It's like talking to someone, but also like making a promise to yourself.

Don't worry, Hizashi, I won't let your sacrifice go to waste... I won't let it happen a second time if you are so weak that you don't dare to resist.

I will let those who spy on Hinata know... The Hinata clan is the strongest in Konoha!
