章節 83: Chapter 83 : Chunin Exam Finals 1

The talk with Sasuke was short, Shika didn't want to drag the conversation anyway, part of the reason being that there he wanted to give some time to Sasuke to think what he told him.

Overloading his brain with info about what might have happened was pointless, rather he took Sasuke's help, drove him away from the defection path and more than anything targeted people like Akatsuki and Danzo through Sasuke's connection with Itachi and Itachi's connection to the two mentions before.

How to show him this connection wasn't hard either, but Shika knew that he had to wait, he needed to nail the time just right.

Training under Jiraiya kept on going, Compared to Naruto's training, his own training was pretty boring, at least his clones were working hard in the background.

Jiraiya wasn't that good of a teacher, at least not in the conventional sense. However, whatever he taught he made sure that the person learned completely, maybe this was something he inherited from his own childhood, after all, he himself wasn't the sharpest of the students in his time.

Under him Shika only learned Fuinjutsu, it he learned that one thing to the extreme, way past the point of just learning how not to seal the chakra of a Jinchuriki.

Shika knew that if he just mastered what he learned from Jiraiya completely in the upcoming years, then he himself could become a Fuinjutsu Master.

As time passed finally the finals were upon them. Shika long wanted to meet with Hinata at this time but after her fight with Neji, she was taken by her father to give training for the finals.

Shika just wanted to curse that Hyuga bastard right now, but he himself knew that Hinata needed that exposure to the clan, after all, without connection how was she gonna remove that cage bird seal.

Going all out to learn sealing from Jiraiya also for this reason, though sealing was useful but not that much in fights, Shika only put so much effort because he wanted to help Hinata.

He knew that Hinata alone couldn't remove that cage bird seal, even if she? What about those who already have the cage bird seal applied to them. What about the branch family.

Shika wanted to either remove that seal or he wanted to seal the existing cage bird seal to the point that at least the main family of Hyuga couldn't use that seal to bully the branch family.

After all, Shika knew that the main family would never accept the removal of the cage birth, Hinata might be able to do that in the cannon considering Naruto because Hokage but that won't happen this time.

Shika didn't even want to let that war happen which put Naruto's status high. This means that Naruto's chances to become Hokage this time around ain't that much, maybe through both Tsunade's and Kakashi's connection but that is a stretch.

In this case, Shika knew that Hinata would need support from the branch family, but that wouldn't work if the main family held such an advantage against the branch family.

Sigh.

Shika thinking about this can't help but sigh indeed there was much for him to do, though he himself planned to get much much stronger but that will take time yes power is the cornerstone of every change but doesn't mean that power alone was enough to bring the change, at least not the one without much bloodshed.

"Overwhelming power on the other hand, well that is something else entirely."

.

.

.

After a long month of training, finally, it was time for the Chunin exam finals. Shika was ready, he had prepared much and planned everything he needed to do by now.

He woke up, got something light to eat and finally got ready to go to the tournament ground.

As he reached the place, he saw many civilians and shinobi there alike, ready to watch the finals, there were not many festivals in this world, so the Chunin exams were the best way to relax for families and even shinobi.

Shika though didn't care too much about this, he looked around and directly spotted two people he wanted to talk to right now.

That was namely Hinata and Sasuke. In this last month, he wanted to didn't get to talk with anyone, not even these two.

Kurenai, her team… even his own cousin, he was soo busy that he didn't get any time to interact with them.

The first match was between Hinata and Naruto. A very strange match honestly, he wasn't sure what to say about this match.

Can Hinata really fight against Naruto, if yes then can she win? Too many questions.

The only way to find out what she is thinking is to go and talk with her, the only problem that right now her father is beside her.

"Hinata, how are you ?" Shika called out, not actually planning to go out there and talk with her when she was beside her father, not like he was afraid more but like he didn't want to give anything to Hizashi against Hinata when the time came.

Hinata who was mostly devoid of many emotions right now heard this and almost immediately brightened up. She snapped her head at the person who called her and the next second he was already running towards Shika. Not giving her father any face.

'Ah… She sure has gotten bold. Good good, winning against Neji did wonder to her confidence…' Shika smiled seeing this.

"Shika Kun." Hinata smiled brightly as she came near Shika. The smile was almost blinding.

"Ah, someone is looking happy, did the clan increase your food budget or what ?" Shika asked with a little smirk on his face, making Hinata only slightly blush and then she rather pouted at Shika faking that she was angry.

The girl surely has changed.

"No. Shika Kun still has to treat me, I hope you will…" Hinata replied with a huff but then smiled. That smile was pretty.

The girl seems really happy right now.

"Yeah don't worry, I still have yet to give you the party you deserved for beating that cousin of yours. How about it, after this exam we both go to a barbecue, hell bring your entire team, my treat" Shika replied, he too didn't lack funds right now, so why now.

"Sure, but that is too much for Shika Kun. I can't ask you that much…" Hinata replied a little hesitant. Shika was about to say that it was fine but before that, she spoke.

"Just treat me, I alone will cost too much." Hinata with a little blush on her face.

Making Shika wonder if was she still holding back in her food intake all this time after he provided funds. But there was a feeling that she just wanted to eat alone with him, not gonna lie… Shika was the same, can now be thinking whether his idea of Hinata still liking Naruto was right?

"Maybe ?

章節 84: Chapter 84 : Chunin Exam Finals 2

"The first match is between Uzumaki Naruto and Hinata Hayuga." Called out Genma, for some reason Hayate was still not the proctor of the finals even after surviving. In fact, this was one thing which Shika had no idea about, Baki died right? So what was the reaction from the sand team, what happened?

The story should no longer follow the cannon in this regard, Shika was even surprised that there was no outcry from the sand village for the death of there Jonin Baki.

There was no doubt that Hokage did something in this regard but what he had no idea. Not in fact Shika was a little worried, his plans needed Hiruzen to die, and if he didn't then that would be a problem.

So, will Orochimaru go through his plan like he did in the cannon, and has Hiruzen planned something ahead of time?

By now, Yamanaka people by now must have gathered some information about the sand's dealing with Orochimaru. So what is it that both Hokage and Orochimaru think?

Shika pondered as he saw the match between Naruto and Hinata. This match was important, it explains what Hinata's stand towards others and more than anything what she feels about him.

.

.

.

The arena was filled with anticipation as Naruto and Hinata faced each other. It was an unexpected match-up, and Hinata stood nervously, her eyes avoiding Naruto's. Shika was right, this was a harder match for Hinata than fighting with Neji, in a certain sense.

She had always admired Naruto from a distance, but fighting him made her feel she herself wasn't sure what she was feeling anymore.

Naruto grinned confidently, cracking his knuckles. "Alright, Hinata! Let's give it our best shot!" he yelled, full of energy. For Naruto who has no idea what is going on inside the head of the girl in front of him, the only thing right now he wanted to do was to win.

Hinata nodded but remained quiet. Her heart was pounding. The thought of going all out against Naruto made her stomach twist with anxiety. She clenched her fists, trying to focus.

Unlike before when he was fighting with Neji, this time she didn't have to go through this, even if she gave up that fine, but honestly speaking she didn't wanted to. Just like how when she fought with Neji before, here too she wanted to shout and say that she would win.

Winning also it's important considering Hinata's own reputation in her clan and now her goal to remove the cage bird seal, to achieve that Shika wanted power, a power which she could only get if she became the Clan head of the Hyuga Clan. She couldn't back down now.

But as the match started, Hinata hesitated. Naruto came at her with his usual enthusiasm, throwing punches and charging forward, but she barely dodged, unsure if she could really fight him seriously.

"Come on, Hinata! I know you're stronger than that!" Naruto shouted as he jumped back, confused by her hesitation. His words hit her, but she couldn't shake her nerves.

Her own emotions were going out of control right now, to Shika who was watching this fight, the fact that Hinata even stood against Naruto without fainting was a big deal, though this was no cannon Hinata, she was no longer the helpless girl anymore. She has both ambition and guts to achieve what she wants, Shika can't help but smile seeing this.

Then, from the stands, a familiar voice cut through her thoughts.

"Hinata! Focus! Remember what we've worked on!" It was Shika. His voice was steady and confident, just like always. "What are you supposed to say when you can't seem to find a way out…!" Shika who was observing Hinata not attacking just shook his head and shouted, giving a helping hand to the girl.

Kurenai on the side also notices this and so does Hinata's father. But right now Hinata didn't care about them, she only saw the boy in front of her who was looking complicated.

But then this voice came from the side…

Hearing Shika call out to her stirred something inside Hinata. She remembered all the long hours they had spent training together, his patience, and how he pushed her to be stronger. She thought of how much she had improved because of him. Slowly, her nervousness started to fade, replaced with a determination she hadn't felt before.

"I'll Win." She said with determination.

Hinata activated her Byakugan, her eyes narrowing in focus. Her chakra flared up, and she got into her Gentle Fist stance. Naruto's eyes widened as he realized she was serious now.

"Alright, now we're talking!" Naruto shouted, grinning with excitement.

Hinata charged forward, her hands moving swiftly as she aimed to strike Naruto's chakra points. Naruto dodged and blocked, but Hinata was faster than he expected. She landed a few clean hits, disrupting his chakra flow slightly.

Naruto jumped back, surprised. "Whoa, Hinata! You've really gotten stronger!"

Hinata didn't respond, her mind focused on the battle. She moved with precision, remembering everything Shika had taught her. Her attacks became sharper, more calculated. She was fighting not just for herself, but because she didn't want to let down the one who had believed in her—Shika.

She didn't know why but she didn't want to lose in front of Shika. Even if that means she has to fight and beat Naruto.

There was something in her heart, but she right now can't even say it.

However, Naruto wasn't someone who would go down easily, there is a reason why he is the protagonist, and his plot armour is the strongest. He created multiple shadow clones, surrounding her from all sides. The clones rushed in, but Hinata didn't flinch. She spun quickly, her palms glowing with chakra. "Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation!" she called out, creating a spinning shield of chakra that knocked back all the clones.

She learned this technique in this one month's time under her father.

"What was that!" Naruto exclaimed, impressed by Hinata but no matter what he wasn't planning to go down like this.

He charged again, this time with more force, and Hinata met his attacks head-on. For a while, it was an even fight. Hinata's Gentle Fist strikes landed, while Naruto's raw strength and determination kept him in the game.

But slowly, Naruto began to overwhelm her. Despite her best efforts, Naruto's stamina and unpredictability started to wear her down. Hinata could feel her energy fading as she took several hits.

She wasn't closing Naruto's chakra points for some reason…maybe she still didn't want to hurt Naruto that much.

But even that would have worked on Naruto, after all, he is a Jinchuriki.

Shika seeing this can't help but shake his head, even he can't handle a fight of attrition against Naruto, so expecting the same from Hinata would be stupid, and even her most powerful technique won't work against Naruto, this fight was determined from the beginning.

Honestly I don't see Hinata winning, not only because Naruto is strong but Hinata here doesn't have that much motivation to win... last time was diferent. Not to mention this was still naruto we are talking about.
