Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Hinata's Secret Life ❯ Musinick ( Chapter 3 )

Musinick

 

Hinata left a few hours after her `confession' to Naruto with tears streaming down her face. Her head was pounding but she wasn't sure if it was from all the tears that were streaming down her pale skin or from all the sake she had consumed. Her legs and body was tired from all the walking and from her rough night. `I knew I should have just left for the mission last night instead of going to the party. Why Naruto-kun? Why did it have to end like that? I would have been better off with you not knowing at all, but with how drunk you were would you even remember? Now that I told you how I feel I can finally get over you. Oh Naruto-kun, no I won't think of you again. Your decision has been made, and I will respect that.' With this resolution Hinata trudged on to the village of Musinick.

 

It had taken her a week to get to the small village of Musinick and that was only with stopping for the night, but only for five hours at a time. Hinata had gotten a scroll from Tsunade to practice to change her eye color so it appeared she had pupils instead of the tell tale signs of being a Hyuuga. Hinata just wanted to get to her mission as soon as possible and put everything behind her at from the Hidden Village of the Leaf. She no longer had a skip in her step and on her face a smile was not to be found. Her normally cheerful face looked like it would never smile again. Her pale lavender eyes had lost that sparkle and looked almost dead to the world, even around her newly darker purple pupils. She had dark rings under her eyes and knew that she looked not to be a threat to anyone not even a bug. Her once long shiny hair looked limp and dead much like its owner.

 

Hinata stepped into the town that was pretty small but still looked homely. There were farmers everywhere and a few stores; with a smirk she even noticed that it had a Ramen shop. `So this will be my home for the next few years' Hinata thought with a grin. `It's homely. There were people walking around like they didn't have a care in the world and probably don't besides normal everyday troubles. They don't have ninja here. Ahh here is city hall. Tsunade had said that should expect me and that I was a doctor.'

 

Hinata stopped her walking in front of a big building with the words City Hall on it and with a glance at the sign she walked in. Ignoring the glances of the people working in the building she made her way to the door that said Mayor Hasabari. Outside of the door was a lady sitting at a desk what appears to be doing paperwork. Hinata made her way to the woman noticing the name on her desk saying `Malina Hasabari'. The lady looked to be the personal secretary of the mayor. The woman appeared to be wearing a pale green traditional kimono with her brown hair put up into a bun on the top of her head. When she looked up she smiled with her green eyes shinning brightly.

 

“Hello ma'am how I may help you today?” the woman apparently named Malina asked. Hinata unsure of what to say gives her the scroll that Tsunade had given her to authenticate her identity. Hinata never opened the scroll only knowing her cover was as a doctor for this new village. Taking the scroll Malina stepped in the see the mayor. A moment later Malina came out with a smile on her face saying “the mayor will see you now. While you are talking to him I will take care of your housing accommodations.”

 

Stepping into the room with the mayor Hinata was started by how warm the room looked. There were pictures on the walls, and even the walls were painted. Needless to say Hinata was impressed. Having grown up in a mansion her house wasn't this warm her walls had no pictures only things of expense to show off to people. The house never really felt like a home. Taking no more then a few steps she was being hugged by an older man with flowing white hair and a kind smile. When he released her from the hug it wasn't the smiling green eyes that shocked her or even the blue kimono he wore; no that wasn't what shocked her it was what he said next.

 

Doctor Uzumaki I am so glad that you will be here for a few years finishing off your doctoring skills. You do not know how long we have needed someone with your experience here” he said kindly leading her to the chair in front of his desk.

 

Hinata obviously in shocked asked “excuse me what did you call me?” She was obviously thinking she had heard him wrong. `Please let me have heard him wrong' Hinata thought hopefully. “Doctor Hinata Uzumaki, that is who you are correct.” He asked starting to look worried, handing her the scroll back.

 

Hinata knew she should have looked at the scroll before hand. With a small smile she said “please just call me Hinata, I feel so old when someone calls me by my last name. I always think they are looking for someone else.”

 

With a nod the mayor said “I can see how that can do that. So Hinata it is, you may call me Hiro instead of Mayor Hasabari. I was hoping that you could be helping my granddaughter out there. You met her when you came in. She was taking care of the medical needs in the community but lacks the training. I hope you can help her.”

 

With a happier heart Hinata gave a nod “I would be more then willing to help her Hiro-sama. It would be nice to have a friend here.”

 

With a smile Hiro lead Hinata to the door saying “the pleasure is all mine. Malina has needed someone to spend time with, since no one wants to hang out with her because of her medical abilities. I am sure you will be good friends and knowing her she has a house picked out for you already. Come back anytime I am sure you want to set settled and started so I shall leave you alone. Good day Hinata” and with that he was gone.

 

Back in the waiting room Malina had a big smile waiting again and told Hinata “come on I got just the place for you. I am so glad that you are here. Do you think you can teach me and be friends? As I am sure my grandfather told you I don't have any. Most people see someone in the medical field as a healer but not as a person. It's very sad.” Hinata with a nod said “I would like that.”

 

Malina lead Hinata through the town and stopped at a building a few stops from City Hall informing her that this was the hospital. Noticing it wasn't very big Hinata gave a nod and went on. Malina then lead her another couple of miles heading out of town to a medium sized house. Malina then started to explain about the house “Hinata-sama” she started until Hinata said. “Please just call me Hinata I am not a lady only a doctor.”

With a nod Malina stated “I got a house a little bit out of town so you will have some privacy. The back yard goes to the woods so you can practice medicine in privacy and the only people who would come here is only if it is an emergency.”

 

Leading Hinata in the house which was surprisingly clean she continued “There is three bedrooms incase you ever have guests and a bathroom. If you want we can have someone come and clean for you once a week” seeing Hinata shakes her head as a no to that suggestion she finished “I am at the house closest to here incase you ever want company. I do live alone so you can visit at any time. There is a path a mile away going through the woods that leads to the Hidden Village of Music. They have people there called Medi-nin's so they shouldn't have to come here but they might just in case. Don't worry they rarely come here and are actually five miles away through the woods. Most people don't go through there for fear that it is haunted. Well Hinata I will come and check on you tomorrow you should be exhausted and we shall get any supplies that you need. I am so glad that you are here” and with that she was gone.

 

Hinata feeling excited at the thought of having a friend and not being to far away from the Hidden Village of Sound started to put her stuff away noticing even that there was food in the cabinets already. Deciding she was more tired then she thought Hinata found a room with a bed all prepared, without even taking off her clothes she collapsed on it and fell into a deep sleep but couldn't stop the thought from crossing her mind with a heavy heart `Hinata Uzumaki'.

Naruto was very uneasy and has been for the last week. He was sure something important had happened the night of the party but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what had happened. Right now he was training with Ero-Senin for the Jounin exams next week. Since he was gone he earned enough missions to be considered but first had to become a Chounin. Figuring he would find out what happened later he decided to concentrate on his exams. Tsunade, baa-Chan said that once he becomes one she had a special mission requested just for him.

 

So here he was at the hot springs just outside of Konoha learning team strategies from a scroll while ero-senin was `gathering information' or as Naruto looked at it checking out the locals. Having enough studying Naruto called a `Kage no jitsu' to play, um I mean to practice team strategies, deciding after the Jounin Exams what feels different.
