164. Hinata’s resolve
‘Ku~ra~ma’ Hearing Tomoka’s playfull tone Kurama felt like crying. He didn’t know what made her like this but he feared for his sanity.
[Y-yes?]
‘So, you know how there is half of you inside Naruto~?’ At that moment only one though could go through Kurama’s mind
[Oh no.]
‘Oh yes~ Chances are that your yang half is now a yin half too~ ufufufu~’ Kurama knew where this was going and he didn’t like it one bit.
‘Not only that but you yourself have said that you identify as a male~’
[Stop!]
‘Chances are your yang, now maybe yin, counterpart is now female~’ That was the straw that broke the camel's back.
[Nooooo!] At that moment Kurama gave out a pretty good impression of Luke skywalker.
[Tomoka, we are good friends right? Best of pals even right? We need to check!] Kurama didn’t care much for being male or female to tell the truth. What worried him was Tomoka’s endless teasing should it be true.
“What for?” Nozomi felt curious as to why Tomoka would go there.
With a sigh Tomoka began explaining about the tailed beasts and Gaara’s predicament. She also took the opportunity to talk about her plans for the future amongst other future events.
“I see... I would have liked it if we could stop Orochimaru’s attack on the village but...” The three of them kept quiet for a moment while Hinata gathered her thoughts until.
“I actually don’t care. I don’t care for Konoha and much less for my stupid clan.” It surprised both Nozomi and Tomoka hearing the kind Hinata say such a heartless claim.
“You know, I had never taken my time to think about it. However, now that I have, I think I actually hate the village a bit.” Taking a deep breath she continued speaking with fire in her eyes.
“My clan is the worst. The branch family members are treated like slaves while I myself was treated like trash for not being as brutal as my cousin or sister.
The village didn’t care about that sort of thing either. Not to mention Danzo pulling the strings from behind to annihilate an entire clan.”
The more Hinata talked the more heartache she felt however, it had to be said. She had been blinded by her own kindness to the wrongdoings of others. It was Tomoka and Nozomi that freed her from her naivety.
“I don’t care for the village any longer. After all, they never cared about me. I don’t care about my clan any longer since they never cared about me.” With tears in her eyes she looked at the two loves of her life in the eyes while saying.
“The only thing I care about anymore is you two” With that the dam broke. Hinata began crying her heart out letting all her frustration and feelings onto the two people that would forever support her no matter what.
