sitting on the hokage's mountain, on the head of the first hokage, a boy and a girl.
when witnessing the beautiful sunset, and the sun red beams reflection on the whiteness that cover the whole village, Hinata's big white eyes widen in astonishment since she never saw such scene especially on this height, moreover so will her blood inherited eyes, as she can see the more details than average but not as sharingan, at this moment she was quite envious of the Uchihas as they can see this scene in so much details
"beautiful? isn't it?" Saruto next to her said with smile
"... yeah" she said unconsciously
"just like your eyes. reflects the beautiful white snow"
Hinata blushed but then snorted "how can you be so cheesy and corny! you should work on your pick lines, otherwise you won't go far in your flirting career." she said in fake mockery, she still kinda pissed that he carried her around, even if she likes it
"hahahahaha!" he laughed heartily
"what's funny, bastard!"
"haha.. nothing, just..I guess now you calmed down and besides I'm flirting with my actions." he shurgged his shoulders, he never was the flirty type, he usually saying what ever on his mind in hit or miss fashion, well at least with people he like
"I guess..." she said grumpily "so, are you going to tell me?"
"hmm tell you what?" he said faking confusing
"don't miss with me, fuckface!, say how did you figure out about me!" even her father didn't notice a thing, but.. well that's doesn't say much, as her barely give her any attention since her sister was born, she doubt he is willing to give hanabi the clan head position when she comes at age, not the hyuuga girl wanted it the first place,dere is too of softie to have the strict personality to shoulder responsibility , and tsun think it's pain the ass to keep listening to old fogies telling you how to lead, in any case , Hinata was buffled as how Saruto manged to unreveal her secret, both of them, dere won't be as aggressive as tsun but quite eager to know
"hmm, how about a trade? give some of your hair and I'll tell you honestly." Saruto smiled mysteriously, he could take it without asking, but thought if he is going to her anyway, why not doing at on equal terms.
"my hair?" she touched it unconsciously, "do you promise?"
"I am."
"middle finger promise?" (an: it's a thing lmao)
"Is that even a thing?" he asked while his questions marks filled his head
"yes or no!"
"yes! jeez you are impatient." he said as they did the ritual and Hinata give him some of her hair
"so??"
"well, the short answer is chakra signature." Saruto said
"huh? what that's have to do with anything?" she asked confusedly
"everything." he said in typical purple giant man fashion and looked to the sunset dramatically
"well??? continue!"
"oh right! where was I? yeah chakra signature, chakra are made from combining our physical and spiritual energies together, while physical energy to both of you are the same, spiritual are different matter, since it's build from someone...you guessed it, spirit." he stopped as he knows Hinata when to ask something
"but I'm not separate soul, I'm part of Hinata and dere is part of Hinata, both of us are sides to Hinata, so how could I have different spirit?"she ask confusedly
"well, spirit is not soul in this context, here spirit means experience, personality, likes, dislikes, feeling, everything that makes the living being different from plants."
"but I wasn't there all the time..." she said, hidden bitterness in her voice "I have been born from dere is surviving mechanism, I'm surprised I'm still around now the danger she was in passed."
"is that what she thinks of you? surviving mechanism?" he said as he touch her forehead with his hand and did something that astonished her! suddenly he vision changes and two Hinatas with identical faces but different temperament appeared infront of the silver hair boy
"how in the fuck?"
"wha?! Saruto-kun? tsun-chan? what did you do?" dere ask in amazement
"nothing much, just technique to connect our minds." Saruto casually said,. being lover to foxy waifu has it's privilege
"it's that ino's clan speciality?" the kind Hinata asked
"similar but different, anyway now that we all here, we can speak freely" he nodded in satisfaction and continued "now Hinata."
""yes""
"ugh , this is confusing.. what should I call you?" be said scratching his head
""call me dere, please/ tsun, bastard""
"as in tsundere? how simple yet direct." he nodded and continue "so how where you created, tsun?" he asked and she explained how she comes to exist
"... interesting.., that's way tsun is tsun.." he said to himself
"huh? why?"
"well, my gusss that whatever the kidnapper did to you doesn't work on narmal ninja, otherwise they can kill other people minds with ease, but need strong willed against it, something that young Hinata doesn't posses yet, your brain way of encounter it is to creating an entity to strong will to resist the attack"
"neither now" tsun Hinata said with smirk which made dere Hinata pouts and look the other way
Saruto chuckle but said "being compared to someone better than you necessary doesn't help increase self-esteem"
both Hinata widen her eyes "how do know about my cousin?" dere asked
"well I kinda met him, he stuck up about pride and destiny and whatnot"
dere smiles wryly and tsun snort "that arrogant motherfuker! I swear if I hear something about his shitty destiny, I'll goes my way to trash his ass."
"but you never did." dere said complaining
"well, he mocks you, not me" he said shurgged
"but I'm you!"
"not in this case~ if I'm in control..."
"you would lose too" Saruto said to her bluntly
"huh? I dare to say that again!" she fired at him
"even if you are more confident, you still in share the body, your skill maybe be better, but in terms of strength you will fall behind." he explained to her
"tch!" tsun clicked her tongue but didn't argue and decided to change the subject "but I'm confused, if I supposedly produce different chakra signature, how no one figure it out? in academy they registersd it in Their database, incase I'm having different one they should have found it up." she crossed her arms on her flat chest that begin to develop early
"well, who said it's different?" Saruto smiled mysteriously
"huh? don't Play dumbass with me! you did!"
"I didn't" he said keeping his smile and continue "I said spirit is different, and while you have different spirits, you have one soul, chakra signature depends on both body and soul, making it the same for both of you."
"then why even bother to point out that matter? since it's the same anyway?"
"well, it is the same...to normal sensor..." he said while thinking that he is having a extremely lucky situation
"what do you mean?"
"well, I have special ability, that's can tell how someone chakra...feels."
both Hinatas widen there eyes and dere asked the million ryo question "..is Saruto-kun saying..that's me and tsun-chan have different feeling to our chakra..?"
and Saruto answer, sadly no ryo involved "I am." he nodded and continue "that's how spirit come into play, since both of you have different spirit, both of you have different feeling, dere is feeling like dawn sun on new Day, while tsun like the the moving winds filled to cold water of the sea" if he didn't have m.e.o.k , he won't ever know about Hinata's secret, well without Karin help, but they wouldn't even meet as they in different programs, and in case her introduce them as friends, that might backfire is tsun Hinata might attack Karin to silence her
"" so that's how I feel.."" they fell into thought contemplating how such feeling reflect their personality
they waited for few minutes until Saruto said "aside from that, dere, what is tsun to you?"
"first friend, elder sister, my other half and me." dere said in confident matter unlike her normally
"I-Is that so?" tsun said, surprised that her another part think of her that way, which warmed her up a bit.
"see? don't say nonsense about survivng mechanism, at first Hinata created you because she needs you to be with her, but now, she doesn't..but wants to you to be with her? isn't that right?"
"hmm!" she nodded and give tsun a hug "I love tsun-chan! even if she means to me and everyone else, she always honest!, and wanted for us the best!"
"dere..." tsun didn't know what to say but hugged dere, they separate after a bit, and tsun looked at Saruto and said quickly "k u."
"hmm? what is that?*
"nk Yu"
"what??"
"THANK YOU, GODDAMMIT!" she snaps and said in irritation but realized she overreacted like always and looked at Saruto wanted to say something but the latter was faster
"hahahahaha" he heartily laughed
"what so funny, bastard !" she sincerely wanted to thank him clearing her doubts but the handsome fucker laugh!
"sorry sorry!" he waved her hand and come closer and give them hug
dere had spiraly eyes and tsun although didn't resist the hug , she spout some incomprehensible nonsense, the sharing point is both of them had red face
Saruto spare them and let them go and said "since we are clear, let's go home, or we will be late"
"ah! daddy will be angry!" dere says in panic
"shit! that old man only cares when I'm late!" she Cruse and without asking, Saruto cancel the connection and without waiting Hinata ran towards her clan location...
"what an lovely duo...now let's see.." he hold the hair and absorbed it waiting for the results to come....
