58 hehe...

The meeting summed up with absolute success. Everything was in my grasp.

The elders started to leave one by one, leaving me and my father alone in the room.

"Are you coming with me?" he asked, standing up from the clan head's chair.

"Hmm, let's go, Father, I am tired from all this," I spoke with a tired smile.

As he came closer to me, I just raised both of my arms, and he picked me up in his arms.

.

"How are things going in the academy?" he asked while patting my back.

"Hehe, it's a nice place to sleep,'' I replied with a cheeky smile, causing him to chuckle with me.

"And some children look at me with jealousy and envy in their eyes when I do better than them, always saying why I am better than them even though the thing I do is mostly sleep," I told my daddy everything that happens at the academy.

.

"Hahaha, they are fools who compared themselves with my princess," he laughed while ruffling my hair.

"And some of them say that I am nothing without Haku-chan and Kimimaro, that I am using my status," I complained to him.

"Why are you so grumpy all of a sudden, and if they find out the state you leave those two after your spar, their whole world would crumble," he encouraged me with his fatherly smile.

"Hehe, I like to see their faces when they find out the truth," with a giggle, I clung my hands around his neck.

.

"How's your progress in the jutsu you were creating?" he asked as we slowly approached our home.

"One of them is almost done, and the 'rotation' will be completed before Big Brother graduates from the academy," I lazily told him, my chin resting on his shoulder.

"Ohh, that's good to hear," his voice was filled with pride, and the small smile on his face was genuine, indicating that he was truly happy.

Seeing him happy, a smile also formed on my face; it felt good to be the pride of someone's eyes.

.

"I like you more when you smile," I whispered.

"Hmph, are you saying that you don't love me when I don't smile?" he huffed away and looked to the side.

"Of course not, I always love you, Daddy," with a cheeky laugh, I just snuggled into him.

Only I knew this side of my father, and I really liked it.

.

"Hmmm, I don't believe you," he said, still in his grumpy mood.

"Hehe, what do you want me to do?" I asked him.

"Tell me you love me more than your mother," he asked.

And without any hesitation, "Of course, Daddy, I love you more than Mother,'' I said with my honey-dripping voice.

.

"Haha, that's my princess," he laughed after finding that his princess loved him more than her mother.

'If my mother asked me the same question, I would tell her that I love her more than father, hehe,'

.

But both of us knew it couldn't be described by mere words.

Soon he brought me to my room and gently placed me in my bed, "good night."

After saying goodbye and kissing my forehead, he was gone.

"Good night, Father," I finally closed my eyes.

—

The next morning, my brother Neji, Haku-chan, Kimimaro, and I were walking on the streets as if we owned the place.

One with excited expressions and a white rabbit in his arms.

The other was the only normal child in our group, but he was the partner in crime last night. And nobody could tell that this child with a calm face could torture someone to death for me.

Next was my dear brother, with his cold and emotionless face. I don't know why, but when I look at his face, I just want to bully him.

And the last one was me with a typical haughty brat expression who didn't put anyone in her eyes.

.

"Look, they are from the Hyuga clan," I heard one of the civilians talking to themselves.

"They look tough, I wonder how powerful they are," another one spoke.

'Powerful enough to send you to another dimension,' hearing them, my cringe senses tickled to no end.

But the expressions on my face became more profound.

None of us put them in our eyes, but it only caused them to praise us more.

.

Ignoring them, we finally reached the entrance of the academy. The academy had many wards, and different wards for each year's students, which was the reason many students didn't know the other year's students.

But for the first time, we encountered the father of many people, as if he was the one who gave them to eat, the dumbest and most hypocritical person, the god as they describe him, Itachi Uchiha.

.

He, with another Uchiha brat, to be precise, his little brother, whom he was going to rob everything from—his mother, father, clan—in the name of protecting him.

I looked at the happy, innocent smile of Sasuke. This smile of his was going to be lost forever.

.

'And this time there won't be any Naruto for him.'

.

'His days of misery were about to start, hehe. Did I feel pity for him, maybe a little bit?'

'To be honest, if he would die with his parents, he wouldn't have to suffer all of his life.'

'But nah…hehe… Then how Lord Itachi would enjoy his sadistic games.'

.

'I sometimes find it amusing Sasuke's situation. The boy went on the path of revenge, and after getting through hurdles, he somehow killed his brother. But then he found out his brother was just playing with him, he was being a puppet of everyone—Orochimaru, Itachi, Obito, Konoha. His heart would be in pieces after finding that he was just being used by everyone.'

'But oh well, it wouldn't be too bad if I add some spice to his miserable life, right ...hehehe?'

.

"Hinata, the air around you is becoming dark. What are you plotting this time?" Haku-chan quietly asked in my ear.

"Nothing, I am just in a good mood," I said.

"Oh, that's good. So how are we going to bully our sensei, hehe," he quietly asked as we approached our classes.

"You are becoming a bad boy, Haku-chan," I smiled cunningly.

"I am still learning. Now tell me, should we tie him to a rope and put bugs in his clothes, hehe," his smile matched mine.

Over the years, Haku-chan was the most affected by my actions; he had become a naughty boy, and his hands were stained. He had been corrupted.

.

"How about we put a snake in his clothes," he smiled.

"Your idea is good, Haku-chan, but how about we put super glue on his seat, so when he stood up, hehe," I proposed another idea.

"Deal, hehe." We sealed the fate of great Iruka.

And so the day began to pass. Iruka was made a clown in front of the whole class. His pants were torn from his ass, and flowery underwear was revealed.

.

The class burst into laughter, holding their stomachs. Iruka was furious and cursed the one who had done it, but he couldn't find the culprit.

He knew the culprit was from the students; from day one, he was the biggest joker of the class. Every day, a new prank was performed on him, and he had many more years ahead of him.

The class ended with me saying goodbyes to my little fox.

.

"You go ahead; I have something important to do," I told both of them.

"Ren, let's go," I called out to him. And soon, he appeared in the swirls of leaves. Both Haku-chan and Kimimaro nodded to me and went home after seeing Ren with me.

"You know the drill, right?" With a chuckle, I raised my hand, and countless silk-like chakra threads weaved together, creating two masks.

Ren, on the other hand, used a shadow clone, putting the masks on their faces, and we disappeared from there.

We appeared at the graveyard. I looked at the tombstone of Ranmaru Hyuga, and a chuckle escaped from us.

.

With a swift motion, I sat on the grave of living Ranmaru and munched an apple.

.

"So when is he going to come?" I asked Ren with my closed eyes, practicing my internal vision.

After that, he started to explain to me the routine of the Uchiha. I have to say they are a different kind of breed.

.

'It's time to reveal the harsh truth to the poor man. Hehe, I will make sure to make his grave near his best friend.'

Every month we visited the graveyard, and I held good points in his eyes.

"Lady Hinata, he is coming," Ren quickly told me. He was using his Byakugan to scout the area.

"Oh…" I quickly gulped down the remaining apple and placed the flowers in front of many Hyuga graves. With a calm expression, I waited for the man to stand beside us.

Of course, I was standing in front of a different graveyard. It would be suspicious if I always stood in front of Ranmaru's grave.

There was peace, the cool breeze hitting our faces, the birds chirping, and the sky was dyed red in the evening.

.

The clone of Ren started to chat with Isomu, asking about his soon-to-be-dead wife and orphan child.

'Hehe, that 3-year-old child, I will save him, but at what cost?'

Ren was giving him some hints, but they were going above his head. I had rarely talked with him, and this time was no exception.

And when he was gone, Ren dispelled his shadow clone, and with mild curiosity, he asked, "Lady Hinata, why aren't you saving him?"

"Why should I save him? He is destined to die, and on the other hand, his son is more valuable to me," I said.

.

'My motherly instincts are tickling, hehe. Sasuke Uchiha, the confrontation between you two will be interesting to watch.'

'How will you react to other Uchiha? What will you do if that kid tries to kill you or Itachi? How will your heart respond to it?'

'Will you kill him just like your brother did to his family, or something else? Let's see, let's see.'

.

Thinking internally, we had entered the bustling market, filled with people and numerous activities.

"Can I have an ice cream?" I asked at a stall, and the owner happily gave me the ice cream. I gave him some coins, which I snatched from his wallet when he was preparing the ice cream using some chakra strings.

.

Ren looked at me with a deadpan look. Biting my tongue with a cute smile, I asked, "Do you also want some?"

"No, my lady, I don't eat with stolen money," he said.

"Okay then, suit yourself," I said with a smile and excitedly ran on the streets, mixing with the crowd.

Obviously, I had changed my appearance with the same mask, and Ren ran behind me to prevent me from getting lost in the crowd.

And soon, when we passed through the gate of an orphanage, I bumped into a homeless boy who was older than me.

.

*Thud*

My butt hit the ground, and an expression of sudden realization hit me on the impact.

I looked here and there. The boy in front of me looked for a moment and, bowing his head, he spoke, "I am sorry, I didn't see you coming."

After saying sorry, he quickly ran away when he looked at Ren behind me.

.

Still, on the ground, I looked at Ren and waited for him to pick me up, and to my surprise, he didn't extend his hand to pick me up.

"You think you can fool me?" he asked.

"Ohh, so it didn't work," I quickly stood up, dusting myself as if nothing had happened.

"Tell me why did you let that kid steal the wallet which wasn't even yours in the first place," he asked, squinting his eyes.

With my cutest and most charming smile, I asked, "I don't know what you're talking about, Ren."

.

The look on his face was priceless, but he was not convinced in any way.

But the charming smile on my face turned into a malicious one.

"That wallet only held a family dinner discount coupon, hehe," with a giggle, I told him.

His expression changed drastically when he found out about my sadistic games.

.

"You intentionally let the orphan kid steal your wallet because it had only a family dinner discount coupon, and when he finds out, his hopes will be shattered because he has no family to eat the dinner. I have to say, Lady Hinata, even the devil himself would want to learn from you,"

He bowed with his hand on his chest, "The depth of your depravity never ceases to amaze me." 

.

"The way you are manipulating that innocent Uchiha, the way you manipulated clan elders so you could open a gate for the boy and let them allow, by their own will, to become friends with that kid," 

"Hehe, you are god damn right," I smiled at him. 

.

"Now let's go home; we have many things to prepare, and we will add a new member to our little group," I said, disappearing from there.

.
