[fighting slaps]

[Thinking] I was born with strength that surpasses my Elder Sister's...

This is my destiny.

That's why...

...I must get stronger!

More... More... More... More...

Look at all of these injuries! Don't you think you're overdoing it a bit?

It's not possible to go overboard. I must do whatever it takes to protect the Hyuga Clan.

Hm. Oh, I almost forgot. It seems Lady Hinata is doing very well as a Genin.

I hear she'll be taking the Chunin Exams.

Chunin Exams?

That's right. It's a test one must pass in order to be promoted from genin to chunin rank.

But I understand it's quite rigorous. There are even fatalities.

What is the point in doing something like that?

Lady Hanabi...

[fighting slaps]

Lady Hanabi! Terrible news!

[sobbing]

[gasp]

I heard Elder Sister Hinata was injured!

She's been treated and is conscious now. There;s no need to worry.

[sigh]

She should have expected this outcome if she chose to go up against Neji.

Why didn't you just withdraw?

I couldn't... do that...

I'm quite aware of what exactly I am, you know.

I'm an indecisive failure...

But I don't wanna give up, I want to become strong.

I know I can change. Watching Naruto makes me think so.

Naruto...

I don't want you here! You're nothing but a pest!

But I wasn't even doing anything!

I mean, I was just looking at the masks you have...

[weary sigh]

Clone Jutsu!

I never will go back on my word...

Because that's my Ninja Way!

There's no one in the Hyuga Clan who has inherited such a strong Kekkei Genkai.

Watch very carefully, Hanabi.

Right. Yes, father.

[gasp]

(Hanabi Thinking) What is it about this Naruto that Elder Sister believes in so?

Just look how he's standing up to Elder Brother Neji... a genius from the Hyuga!

There's no way some failure can beat him.

I vow to win!

Gentle Fist Art! 8 Trigrams, 64 Palms!

[grunt]

8 Trigrams-- 2 Palms!

[grunt]

4 Palms!

(Neji Thinking) We are all given a destiny at birth, and it's pointless to fight against it!

...you don't know what it's like to be branded with a mark that sets you apart... A mark that can never be wiped away!

32 Palms! 64 Palms!

[grunt]

He has been overwhelmed. All of his chakra points have been shut down, and he can't even infuse chakra now.

It's your destiny to lose to me.

Oh yeah? Well, we won't know that until you beat me, will we?

[grunts]

You're a failure!

[gasp]

I don't quit... And I don't go back on my word. That's my nindo, my ninja way.

You and your stupid destiny...

I will not lose!

[chakra building roar]

It may be the Hyuga way to cave into destiny, it's not mine!

If you think it's futile to fight then don't! I'll change the way of the Hyuga Clan!

(Genma) The winner is Naruto Uzumaki!

(Man) That kid won against a Hyuga?! Seriously?!

It's your destiny to lose to me, and that is that.

Oh, yeah? Well we won't know that until you beat me, will we?

[Thinking] No, that was definitely just a fluke!

But I thought Elder Brother Neji hated the main family...

You know, I honestly didn't believe that you'd come back and help me train again!

You might have been been right about that.

But then he taught me something very important: one's destiny truly can be changed.

Elder Brother Neji!

Now, continue.

Right.

He taught me something very important: one's destiny truly can be changed.

One's destiny can be changed?

You mean, that all of us...

Listen well, Hanabi. All of us are born into this world bearing our own destiny, carrying it inside of us.

In our lifetime, that destiny never changes.

I am who I am. I just have to keep aiming for the top.

[out of breath] Please let me try once more!

Rotation's a ninjutsu that's passed down orally and only known to the Hyuga.

It is not something that you can master easily.

No. I know that I'll be able to grasp it shortly.

[grunt]

I can't afford to get stuck now... I have to get much, much stronger.

I can't believe I couldn't master it after all...

(Ino) It's true! I'm telling you, Naruto was amazing.

Kakuzu, you know, the guy with all those hearts...? with this super go-get 'em new jutsu!

What? "Go-get 'em?" Isn't there a better way to say that.

Hmm... Well it was huge! And it just whizzed by!

Wait, hold on... He wove together Wind Change in Nature with a Change in Form?!

Yeah! Something like that!

Wow. Naruto never stops! He just keeps on getting better and better!

I'll have to do my best, too!

Well maybe this is a hint for mastering a new jutsu...

Hey, were they just talking about the time recently when Naruto crushed the Akatsuki?

You know, he wasn't impressive three years ago but now he's way stronger!

Now everyone in his generation wants to be like him! They're all working hard to keep getting better, too!

[sigh]

Rotation!

Not again! Why can't I get it right!?

Let's just call it a day.

Please, allow me to continue! I can do it!

This is not something that you can master by rushing through it!

Sometimes, it's best to give it some time to sink in.

It is really quite unusual...

I've never seen Hanabi have such a difficult time like this.

Yes... from a technical standpoint, she should have no trouble...

Hm.

(Elder) Perhaps something else is the root of her problem.

[panting]

I have to keep going! I have no choice but to keep going!

But, why can't I!?

[sigh]

Huh!

Your form is looking really good now!

Yes, well... I can't fall behind Naruto, can I?

[Thinking] Why am I feeling this way...?

...it's not like when I was younger...

Why hasn't she given up? Everyone thought she was a failure... even Father turned his back on her.

But, she looks so happy...

Nice! And now, stay like that and try a Change in Form.

Right!

(Thinking) Don't tell me she's on the verge of mastering a new jutsu!

(Thinking) So strong, yet so kind. I want to be just like her!

Elder Sister...!

So tell me, Lady Hanabi, how was your first diplomatic outing?

Venturing outside the village walls made me a little nervous.

But you handled yourself quite well. The Taketori Clan has long been a close ally of the Hyuga Clan.

It's important to maintain those ties in your generation, too.

Of course.

Excuse me, one moment.

Lord Hiashi Hyuga and his party, I presume?

What is it?

Sir, I am a border guard. We've just received word of a dire emergency.

The Akatsuki are attacking the Hidden Leaf Village.

What!?

Make haste! We must return at once!

This is terrible.

The Leaf Village has been destroyed. I can't even recognize it.

What happened to everyone?

Lord Hiashi! Thank goodness you're all right!

This destruction... how many fatalities were there?

By some miracle, everyone survived.

[gasp] But how!? With all this destruction...?

(Hyuga Man) No, it's true sir. Naruto protected everyone. But he was only because of Lady Hinata.

What do you mean?

The village was attacked by Pain of the Akatsuki and was right on the verge of collapsing.

At that point, the only one who was able to deal with Pain was Naruto Uzumaki.

...But even Naruto was pushed to his limits...

Loud-mouthed frog.

Bastard!

It's time we were on our way, now...

[gasp]

(Hyuga Man) Lady Hinata was the one who rushed into action.

Hiya!

How cruel... restricting Naruto's movement with those rods...

I won't let you hurt Naruto anymore!

No...

I'm jus being selfish now.

What's that mean!? Hinata, don't put yourself in danger like this! Just go!

I'm here because I want to be.

This time, I am going to save you, Naruto.

I used to be such a crybaby... a;ways giving up before I even got a chance to start.

I almost took the wrong path so many times... that I lost count...

But you helped me find my way and take the correct path, Naruto.

I always chased after you, wanting to catch up, wanting to walk together with you forever...

You've changed who I am, Naruto!

You're smiling face... saved me, Naruto.

That's why I'm not afraid to die here... If it means I can protect you!

Because... I love you! I always will.

(Hyuga Man) Lady Hinata protected Naruto and fought till the end...

[grunt]

Gentle Step... Twin Lion Fists!

Because of that, she was able to get us out of the tough situation we were in.

Hinata really did that!?

So Elder Sister mastered that jutsu...

It was such an amazing surprise!

Honestly, I almost couldn't believe Hinata was capable of so much!

I bet that Elder Sister was never a failure after all...

Elder Sister Hinata!

But I don't wanna give up... I want to become strong!

I know that I can change... Watching Naruto makes me think so.

I never will go back on my word. Because that's my Ninja Way!

Yes, well, I can't fall behind Naruto, can I!?

(Hanabi) She chose the path she should take of her own free will.

...And look how strong she became!

Elder Sister always remained herself, both kind and strong...

...the person I love very much!

Father... I have a request.

I realize you're going to be very busy with rebuilding the village.

But when things settle back down, will you train with me again?

I bet you'll master it next time!

I will!

I want to be like Elder Sister Hinata someday...

I want to choose my own path too... without being influenced by anyone else.

(Hiashi) We're on the brink of the Fourth Great Ninja War!

So we will capitalize on out sensory skills and divide up to support every battalion!

It's up to us to guide them to victory in this war!

Yes, Sir!

Hanabi, take care of things.

I'll handle it. I've made up my own mind to ensure the Hyuga Clan's protection.

But, also, please be careful, Elder Sister.

I will! I'm going to throw everything I've learned at the enemy!

And I will protect Naruto.

Do your best, Elder Sister Hinata.
