Disclaimer: I intend to mess around with a few characters, but as Hinata will tell you later, some things cannot be changed. Like the fact that I don't own any of the Naruto characters or anything related to the series.
Red Eyed Destiny
Prologue
By Adyen
Hiashi sat in front of his 8 year old daughter Hinata as she tried to activate the Hyuuga bloodline ability: the Byakugan. Her cousin Neji had first managed to successfully control the activation less than a year ago and while the 3 years old Hanabi was too young to have shown any signs of the Byakugan yet, the potential can easily be seen in the way she practices the Jyuuken.
The young girl sat crossed leg in deep concentration as she slowly went through the seals that all Hyuuga were taught from birth. Each seal required a certain amount of chakra to be carefully channelled into the eye and the surrounding areas in order for the Byakugan to be activated successfully the first time. After the chakra pathways were made, the user only has to push the chakra through them to activate the Byakugan.
With his own Byakugan on, Hiashi focused on what his heir was doing. 'Just a bit more...' He thought to himself as he watched Hinata impassively. As she finished the final seal, the chakra surged into her eyes and she reflexively closed them and bit her inner lips in pain as her bloodline ability changed her eyes. Hiashi was about to congratulate her on her success when a sudden surge of chakra appeared from /nowhere/ and flared up in her eyes.
Her eyes snapped open and she screamed in agony, feeling that her eyes were burning like liquid fire. Hiashi watched in shock as the chakra seemed to mix in her eyes but quickly reacted when he saw her arms head up towards her face, fingers hooked into claws. Moving with speed born from being a shinobi for 30 odd years, he quickly pinned his daughter and disabled her arms and legs with a few well-placed taps. He was about to call for a medic when one of his retainers burst in, along with a squad of the security detail.
"Hiashi-sama!" The leading man franticly yelled. "The Uchiha! They're all dead!" He then paused at the sight of their clan leader holding down his squirming daughter, mouth opened but with no sound coming out and seemingly unable to use her arms and legs.
Hiashi grimaced at the news, both in anger and fear of the situation. Anger at why it would happen NOW, of all times; and fear, for who could destroy an entire branch of Konoha's finest in one night. He glanced down at his daughter and couldn't help but gasp.
Hiashi could understand how she might be crying blood due to whatever damage the sudden surge of chakra did to her eyes; but instead of the white Byakugan he expected to see, all he could see were red orbs belonging to someone incredibly old, staring accusingly at him. He blinked and suddenly all that was left of the vision was the painful blood-cry of his daughter's crimson eyes.
Uncertain what to do, he placed a finger on his daughter's forehead and watched that as she lost consciousness, her eyes faded back to their normal white. He carefully picked her up. "Have a house medic examine her eyes." He commanded. "I'll head over to the Uchiha compound immediately."
The retainer nodded numbly as Hiashi passed Hinata to him and quickly headed towards the nearest in-house medic, as only another Hyuuga could understand the Byakugan. He was so deep in shock that he never heard the young Hyuuga in his arms mutter a single name... "Naruto..."
