(third person POV)

Kabuto ran out of the room as Hinata's unresponsive eyes shut as she slumped over and passed out mumbling numbers in variants of 7.

Shino's bugs ate through the chakra barrier around the hideout Pakkun and Shino traced Hinata to. The hideout was inconspicuous and covered in intense genjutsu to the point only the highest levels of Ninja's would be able to see through. There were too many weaves of the intricate jutsu so instead of releasing it bit by bit, Shino has his chakra consuming beetles eat a hole in the barrier. The looks on everyone's faces in this advanced ninja squad were deadly. None of them wanted to accept Hinata is quite possibly dead, nobody wanted to think of the horror she might have endured if she's alive. They all suppressed their feelings like the hardened shinobi they were and only allowed their anger and determination to be seen.

Zabuza's hands were twitching, he was ready to rip apart each and every person he came across to reach the girl who saved him, the one he was supposed to protect. Kakashi's Sharingan was glowing brightly as he continued to sniff for the bluenette's familiar scent. He was not going to let another important person die, he couldn't. Shino was scared for his friend, he knew his part was over and he'd stay behind as backup, but the bugs crawling inside him were moving erratically making him uneasy with the ominous feelings. Hiashi was the worst off, if any of his teammates had been lesser men, they would have shit themselves at the dangerous look in Hiashi's eyes. 

He was burning in a silent fury that no man would willingly cross. His daughter, his pride was taken from him and as her father, he was going to protect his little girl. He'd failed her once, he was not going to do it again. The killer intent radiating off of Hiashi was almost visible. At this point nobody cared of Orochimaru was a Sanin or a Genin, he could have an army at his disposal but nothing would stop the success of this rescue mission.

Further back, unknown to the elite squad, a few members of the konoha 11 were separated into teams of 2, following Shikamaru's command. Sasuke and Naruto were the frontline, they were the ones to go in and get Hinata if the fighting starts. behind them was squadron 2, Shikamaru and Choji who were there for direction and the possible aid of whoever ends up rescuing the girl. Squadron 3 was off to the left, that consisted of Neji and Tenten who were the defense of the group, they would keep the path clear for Hinata getting a safe escape route for as far as possible. Lee was in recovery alongside Kiba so they were not aloud to join the endeavor.

Shino's bugs made a big enough hole for the squad to slip through, Shino stayed back, his bugs on guard while he hid in wait for the signal to clear a path to leave. A deep, loud yell echoed in the cave and he knew the battle had started. Nartuo's inhuman hearing picked up on the sounds of battle so Shikamaru gave them the signal to move in. If Kakashi, Hiashi, and Zabuza were busy fighting, they would slip by unseen and find their teammate. Naruto and Sasuke used a henge and transformed themselves into people they had fought before the abduction and ran into the cave, going through the same opening Shino had made earlier. They moved through the shadows in silence, keeping their chakra suppressed as well even if it was unnecessary based on all the fighting being focused on Kakashi's squad. They opened each door they found, encountering various people Orochimaru had kept prisoner, but there was still no sign of her anywhere.

Zabuza used his executioners blade to the max effect, slicing through anyone who dared to come close to him. Each swing brought him deeper into the hideout and he was still at a loss, finding only empty rooms on his journey. Hiashi had the same luck, he spared no mercy and without batting an eye, killed anyone in the vicinity of him. It wasn't enough for him, he wanted them all dead. He growled in frustration when Orochimaru didn't bother to show his face, he kidnaps his daughter and yet is too much of a coward to face them. Hiashi wanted blood, Orochimaru's blood on his hands, he wanted to break the man over and over until there was nothing left. 

Kakashi was fighting madly, his brain was clouded in flashbacks of his comrades deaths, he tried but failed at not letting his mind revert to the dark place it had finally emerged from. He was no longer Kakashi-sensei, at the moment he fully embraced his title of cold-blooded Kakashi and struck down everyone with a swift and merciless manner to the point that his opponents began to flee. Kakashi stopped searching fro Hinata, he convinced himself she was dead and he was getting revenge, that was until the familiar scent of her blood invaded his nose. It was faint, extremely so, but it was still relatively fresh smelling so it could have only been there in the last few days. He pushed down his darkness and for the last time, let the little ray of hope that she was alive burn inside him.

"Found it!" Kakashi summoned 2 of his best ninken fighters and had them go to Zabuza and Hiashi to get them to follow him to where Hinata was. They reacted quickly and changed their course of slaughter to reach the girl who had been missing for a month.

Sasuke and Naruto were alone so they dropped the henge and focused on moving faster to find Hinata. They caught a break in the most unlikely of ways when Naruto was shoved to the side and a body latched onto Sasuke.

"Ohh Sasuke-kun I knew you'd come for me! Lord Orochimaru was right, you our love knows no bounds. I even took care of that little hurdle that was putting a strain in our love, now you will finally realize your love for me!" The pink pawn of Orochimaru squealed into her love's ear, rubbing her face against his arm as she spoke. Naruto sat back up and looked extremely confused.

"Huh, what are you talking about Sakura? Why are you following a bastard like Orochimaru, you do know he Hurt Hina-chan right? Come help us find her, we can all go home together dattebayo." The blushing girl's eyes narrowed at the name, but a smirk overtook her features. Sasuke wasn't as slow on the uptake, he didn't blindly think the best in people like Naruto, he figured out what was going on. The animosity Sakura held for Hinata, the psychotic love she held for him, her saying their little hurdle was taken care of.

"You're as dumb as ever Naruto, isn't that right Sasuke-kun! We can take him out together and finally be alone. I already took care of one of your teammates and Lord Orochimaru has no use for him." She bat her eyelashes at him.

Sasuke removed Sakura from his side and pinned her against the wall by her throat.

"Where. Is. She." Sakura gaped for breath, clawing at Sasuke's arms. It was then Naruto realized the situation and placed a chakra suppressant seal on Sakura to prevent her from fighting or using any of her terrifying Genjutsus. Sasuke unceremoniously dropped her to the floor, his Uchiha glare in full effect.

"You want to see what I did to her? It's all in the name of love, when you see how pitiful it really is, you will finally accept my never ending love for you Sasuke-kun." Naruto and Sasuke exchanged looks saying 'she's delusional' as they trailed behind the skipping girl. The more they walked, the heavier the pit of dread grew in their bodies. What did Sakura really do to Hinata, what happened to her? They reached a corridor at the same time as Kakashi, Zabuza not far behind them. Kakashi gave them stern looks and a wary glance towards the bright smile Sakura held as he stopped at a door.

The smell of blood was overwhelming now and Kakashi hesitantly opened the door, worried on what he could find. Hinata's chakra was coming from the room but it was faint and moving so erratically that he knew she was panicking in a way he didn't think possible. Sasuke and Naruto tied Sakura up and stood by Kakashi, Zabuza, and the newly arrived Hiashi; ready to open the door. Sakura was brimming in joy to watch as the people closest to Hinata would finally see her for the pathetic trash she is, the tortured and broken mess. A girl who cries for her own death.

The door was slammed open and everyone froze in utter horror at the sight before them. Hinata was slumped over in a chair, her thin body clothed in her undergarments and her pale skin covered in blood. It was horrific at the amount of blood covering her and the floors to the point it was a miracle she hadn't bled out. Beside her were all the weapons used, they were various and bloodied. The bones in her left leg were protruding out of her skin and her shoulder was twisted at an unnatural angle. Naruto took a step forward to free her, but then she looked up. Her eyes, the eyes that always held love and mischief, the one part of herself that she could never hide her emotions in. The ever expressive face of Hinata was blank, not in a ninja way but in a soulless and empty way. Her lavender eyes that Naruto loved were milky and showed nothing but fear, she held no recognition for them, at least the them that were in front of her. She didn't think they were real, the real ones beat her, hated her, died because of her.

"Oh God."

Sasuke saw red, there was nothing but the broken girl chained up before him. She didn't look alive, he didn't know if she really was alive anymore and it was his fault. His Sharingan manifested and the pattern changed into a pinwheel swirl. His eyes burned, he felt nothing but guilt and hatred. The rage inside of him was greater than that for Danzo, the girl he loved and promised to protect was sitting there dead because of him, because of Orochimaru, because of Sakura.

Naruto felt the familiar red hot wrath of the Nine tails chakra flow throughout his body. His nails sharpened, the whiskers darkened, his fangs elongated. He wanted nothing more than to give in and rip everyone in this hideout apart. The red bubbling chakra of Kuruma bubbled around Naruto and took shape of the 1 tailed chakra cloak. He heard the sounds of people coming and he was ready, he wanted blood, he wanted revenge. His hatred merged with Kuruma and they prepared for vengeance.

Kakashi sank to his knees at the sight. She was so empty, the pain she must have endured he couldn't fathom. He was her sensei, her guardian and he failed her like he failed them. Rin, Obito, Minato-sensei. She was another added to the list of failures, she may be alive, but would she ever really be living again after this. All he could see is blood, her blood, their blood. Was he cursed to this world to destroy others? The fear in her eyes, it was so intense, she was nothing but emptiness and fear. He brought his hands up to his face and pushed back the tears trying to fall, he couldn't look anymore.

Zabuza had seen brutal scenes in his life. He had inflicted torture upon others numerous times, but the scene he was met with was one that made him want to empty the contents of his stomach. This wasn't just a form of torture, it was inhumane at its core. He was a demon but for someone to allow this, they were the devil itself. The only reason for her to be so messed up was because she didn't do whatever it was they wanted. He has seen people hold back from talking but no torture has ever gone this far, people either die or give in sooner or later, but she was just...broken. 

Zabuza knew it wasn't just physical torture, the fear, the emptiness, her not recognizing them right away, the fucked with her mind and he didn't know what to do. Hinata was strong mentally and physically, her enduring this long was proof but Zabuza didn't know if she would ever recover. It felt like losing Haku all over again, he should have been there, he was her protecter but he wasn't there. He will not let her give up her fight, not after she did it for so long. He was a demon

Hiashi began shaking the room with the chakra flowing out of his body. His daughter was before him, beaten and broken. He should have been there for her more, told her he loved her more, maybe she'd be ok if he had done something different. This was Orochimaru's fault, he did this to his daughter. Everyone here was going to pay for laying a hand on one of the people he loves the most, it should have been him in her place. He want's to take her pain away, to hold her and let her know everything will be alright, to let her know daddy is there and he will protect her. He will avenge his daughter even if it costs him his life, he will hold her and say he loves her and give her away to be safe.

Hiashi and Zabuza were the only two conscious of their actions at the moment. They exchanged glances and Zabuza knew what was coming. Hiashi walked over to his little girl and undid the bindings of her body and removed the chakra suppressors. With nothing holding her to the chair, she fell over but he caught her careful not to aggravate her injuries. She was shaking like a leaf but her eyes never moved, she didn't even blink. All she did was mumble numbers so quietly if he hadn't been listening he would have missed it. He took his hand and laid it on the top of her sticky, bloody hair, rubbing it softly to comfort her and let her know he wasn't going to hurt her.

"Hinata, daddy has you now, it's going to be alright. I won't let them hurt you anymore. I'm here, daddy has you now. I wont let them touch you, I have you. You are safe, I promise, you are safe." He spoke to her softer than he knew was even possible. Her eyes finally moved up to meet his and the ragged breaths she had slightly evened out. She was still shaking but the grey cloud over her eyes lifted in the slightest as she recognized him. He wrapped some of his chakra around her to let her feel him, feel the safety of a fathers embrace as he kept telling her who he was and that she was going to be ok.

Hinata was confused, her dad hated her. He wanted her dead, but he was right here. holding her and telling her she was going to be ok. She thought she was in another genjutsu and was waiting for the attack to come, but it never did. Everyone hated her, they wanted her dead, she was selfish. He told her over and over how he hated her and wanted her to die, how she was selfish and not his daughter, thats what she remembers, but this was different from the beatings. Instead she felt the cocoon of her fathers chakra coat her, it was real. It had to be. She looked up at him, seeing the familiar lavender eyes, but instead of the hate they held in all of her memories Sakura made her live through, she saw nothing but love. 

The same eyes that were always there when she did something good as a ninja. She let herself believe him, even if only in the slightest that it was him and that he was going to keep her safe from the monsters again. She stopped counting for the first time in a month, she had something else to focus on. Her dad was here to save her and even if it was a dream, she was ok with it. It was the first dream that wasn't bad in forever. She knew she didn't deserve it but it was all she could hold on to, to keep from fully losing herself.

"O-otou-s-s-san." her voice was hollow but she finally spoke to him, she stopped counting. She didn't notice anything else around her, all she saw through her swollen eyes was her dad.

"How touching, her beloved father is here to save her. Too bad, I still need her and she's staying with Sasuke-kun and I. She never gave told me what I wanted, never joined me so I punished her. I didn't think she would have lasted this long without giving in. Even I don't think I could take what she went through. Oh how her mind must be broken, tortured mentally and physically for over a month. I guess I can pardon her now since she brought me what I wanted." The snake gestured towards Sasuke who was focused on Sakura, his Sharingan still changing. Orochimaru licked his lips as he saw the Sharingan manifesting into the Mangekyou.

Zabuza sliced at Orochimaru but was easily dodged.

"What the fuck did you do to her?" He growled during his continuous attacks.

"I didn't do anything. Sakura and Kabuto were more than willing to do everything.I can tell you how I heard her screams echo across the walls, her cries and begging for someone to end the pain. I wonder if she'll ever trust you guys again after Sakura dealt with her. There is nothing more powerful in breaking a person and turning them to the dark side than having your ideals changed to be evil and the ones you love turn their back on you. I don't think she can even tell what is real or not right now." 

Orochumaru got tired of Zabuza and sent him flying through a wall. Kabuto finally made his appearance. Naruto's chakra finished taking shape and a second tail appeared as he charged at four eyes, starting their own fierce battle. Naruto was not going to let Kabuto go easy, he heard about Kabuto's treatment and his mind was clouded with the Foxes as he attacked over and over again, wanting to rip him to shreds. Any of the leftover henchmen that came to fight Naruto were smacked away with the flick of his tails.

Sasuke listened as Sakura raged on about the horrible things she did to Hinata, how she heard her beg for death. How worthless she was and how Sakura and Sasuke were meant to be together. Sasuke finally lost it when Sakura mentioned the breaking point, how her fragile mind slowly began to shatter. He didn't understand the power he was feeling, but let it consume him anyways. Blood dripped down from his burning eye and black flames surrounded Sakura, licking at her form. The black flames reached the pink haired girl and she let out shrieks and cries of pain at the burning of her flesh. Sasuke grabbed his sword and stabbed it into Sakura, sending electricity through the blade and into her body. She convulsed and continued her screaming as the black flames devoured her from. Sasuke limited the flames, making the death to be drawn out, she didn't deserve mercy. Sasuke wanted to wait and only kill Danzo, but this was necessary for him.

Orochimaru watched in glee at the sadistic smirk that crossed Sasuke's features. He enjoyed watching the boy kill Sakura in a drawn out hellfire death, his Sharingan was marvelous and was soon to be his. How perfect it turned out for Orochimaru, Sasuke came to him and had a power upgrade as well as a darker side. The Sanin stalked over to Sasuke who was panting and weakened substantially from the use of Amaterasu.

Hiashi kissed Hinata on her bloody temple, ignoring the dried blood that cracked off onto his lips.

"I love you my daughter. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to be my offspring and the new leader of our clan. Keep fighting, never stop fighting for what you believe in. Don't let this hold you back, it will be hard but I need you to push through. I love you, this is for you. Be safe and tell Hanabi I love her. I love you, I promise to avenge you." Hiashi kicked Kakashi up and carefully handed him his daughter, giving her possibly the last kiss from him. "Get her out of here, keep her safe. I leave her to you Hatake. protect my baby girl." Kakashi stared down at the girl in his arms and tightened his hold on her, saying the fated words again.

"I promise to keep her safe." Hiashi was not going to allow Sasuke to be taken, naruto to be injured. He saw how the boys looked at his daughter and how much his oblivious daughter cared for them. They were truly best friends, teammates, family. He was not going to let Orochimaru and his underlings hurt her anymore. As Orochimaru stalked closer to Sasuke, Hiashi intervened and started an intense battle to the death. Sasuke snapped out of it and saw Kakashi holding an ALIVE Hinata. She was still shaking in fear, but there were tears in her eyes as she began to realize what was going to happen, why her father said those things to her. 

She called out to him to let her take his place but her father didn't listen. Hiashi said to leave, to protect his daughter and that's what Sasuke planned to do. They picked up Naruto and Zabuza on the way out, Kakashi holding the frail girl in his arms as the boys shielded the screaming girl. She didn't acknowledge them, she didn't even know who was with her all she thought about was her dad and leaving him with the monsters. She was scared, she didn't want to go back but she didn't want to lose her father. Kakashi finally stopped the hysterical girl by knocking her out so they could move in silence and stop her mind from breaking even more.

Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, and Tenten saw the team re-emerge with Hinata. At first it was herd to recognize her but when they did, hearts were shattered at the sight. When the shock of her state was over, Shikamaru was the first to deduce the reasoning Hiashi was missing on the return. He had stayed behind to make sure everyone else made it safe, he sacrificed himself for his daughter and her friends. They all moved out, running at breakneck speed to get Hinata to Lady Tsunade for healing.

———————————————————————————————————————Hinata's body physically healed quickly because majority of the injuries had already been healed by Kabuto, the issue was her mental state. Tsunade fixed what she could, some scaring left behind on the more serious stab wounds. She needed more help for when Hinata's mind was stable enough to wake herself up. To get an understanding of what happened to help Hinata in the best way possible she bought it Inoichi, Anko, and Ibiki. Ibiki was an expert in the mind and had been through the most torture of them so he would know how to help her be less fragile. Inoichi would be able to delve into her mind and give them an exact recollection of what Hinata endured and was the psychiatrist of sorts for ninja's that have PTSD. He would also hopefully be able to peice the broken pieces of her mind back together. Anko knows Orochimaru the best and would know how his mind works enough to help Hinata find a way to get over her fear of the snake man. Nobody truly knew the horror and thought this would be the best solution... that was until Inoichi brought Anko and Ibiki to watch the speeded up memories from the start of the mission to the end of the kidnapping.

After a few days of watching, the 3 most esteemed members of the TI department were pulled out from the girls mind. Inoichi collapsed on his knees and threw up in the garbage can beside Hinata's hospital bed. His daughter's best frined, sweet Hinata had endured a pain that Inoichi couldn't even fathom. Ibiki was pale and fully disgusted at what he had watched. He was no softie, he enjoyed breaking people's minds, but the torture this girl went through was disgusting for someone so young. He had to give credit to the girl, he knew she was tough, but this. She was strong willed, took the torture better than any man other than himself, he wanted to see how she would end up after she finally woke up. 

Anko clenched her fist's in anger, snakes pushing themselves out of her large overcoat. She knew how bad Orochimaru could be for someone's mental state, and by the looks of it, Hinata was going to have a hell of a time getting over her fucked up torture. She hated Orochimaru, but this, this was something she never believed her master was capable of. Was this what he hid behind closed doors, his never-ending quest for ultimate knowledge and power really made him into the devil and now more so than ever, Anko wanted him eliminated. He was weak, there was no way he could have killed Hiashi Hyuga without severe damages.

Tsunade was called back into the room and Ibiki and Anko gave her the full report of Hinata's abduction; Inoichi was still trying to remove the memories from his mind and did not want to re-think of them by giving a report. The blonde woman gripped her desk in her hands and with each word of the report, the desk was being cracked until it was nothing but shredded wood chips. Damn her teammate, how could Orochimaru have stooped so low, how could Sakura, a sweet Konoha kunoichi turn into such a psychopath. How was she going to tell this to everyone, how was she going to take care of Hinata when she woke up. On top of the shit she went through, the pain wasn't over. She didn't know it in her comatose state, but her last remaining parent was gone at the tender age of 13, she was now the leader of her clan, she was going to have to take care of little sister more so than ever, and Tsunade didn't know if Hinata could handle it all, at least she wont be doing it alone.

Zabuza was the first to read the report since he decided to take the role of guardian since it was put in Hiashi's will to give Zabuza the right's to what Hiashi would get if he were alive. Above all else he was glad Sasuke killed the pink haired girl that caused Hinata so much harm; he wasn't below killing a 14 year old girl but he was glad he didn't have to and she had already met her painful end. Naruto and the rest of Hinata's teammates and friends were clued into her situation as well, Tsunade wanted to let them know that when the girl woke up she would most likely have PTSD to an extreme extent and wanted them to be cautious around her.

Hizashi was taking care of Hanabi for the time being, he gave her a shoulder to cry on when she learned of her father's death and bought her to visit her sister when she looked less corpse-like. Hinata had visitors at all hours of the day, Gaara even managed to come for a day and leave her a sand rose as well as letters for her to read when she wakes up. Few people refused to leave her room and when visiting hours were over, they snuck back in to sleep beside her, ready to be there for whenever she woke up. Kakashi suspended Team 7's missions for now and whenever Shikamaru was not on missions he was beside the Hyuga. Kiba and Shino were struggling coping with Sakura's betrayed and death as well as the state Hinata was left in, Kiba blaming himself for his best girl-friend's capture.

Sasuke discovered that his evolution in the Sharingan was with the help of Shisui as they both never left her side. To keep his mind off it, he planned his part of the 'Take Out Danzo' plan and pissed off Naruto. Naruto was optimistic, he knew she was going to wake up soon and be fine after a bit of time. She was Hinata, she can push through anything. Naruto also knew that even if she wasn't fine, he would be there to help her be better.

———————————————————————————————————————

(Hinata POV) About 2 weeks after getting back to the village

The white light, I really must have been dreaming about dad coming to get me, him holding me and promising I was going to be safe. That sliver of hope I had was slowly fading, that was until I heard the beeping of a heart monitor. My body didn't have that familiar mind numbing pain and there was no Kabuto telling me to keep counting, No Sakura showing me how worthless I was. None of my friends trying to kill me over and over. There was nothing, just the beeping and white. This might be heaven, possibly hell but I don't care. Nothing was worse than what I was going through. Maybe my wish was granted, everyone's wish was granted. Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Hanabi, everyone; they all got tired of torturing me and decided to end it. At least it's over.

I opened my eyes to see my purgatory but instead there were white ceilings of a hospital, not the cave, not heaven. I was alive which means my dad really did come for me. The memories came back in a flood, Dad he gave me to someone, he stayed back to fight. He has to be ok, right? He was all I had left, everyone else wanted me dead. They all hurt me because I'd hurt them. All I could see was the blood, I could feel the knives going into my skin, the sinister laugh of Sakura, my loved ones torturing me, me being the reason my mom died, I killed the Uchiha clan, everyone hates me. I hate me, I hate them, I can't do it anymore, I don't want to feel pain. He saved me from everyone, I need daddy, he has to be ok. He's strong enough to take on Orochimaru, he's the only one who didn't try to kill me, the only one whose life I didn't destroy in my pretend time as a hero.

I sat up, pushing down the phantom pains of Kabuto, my failures, my fear, the utter empty feeling that was overwhelming me and lifted my head to find daddy. He was no where in the room, maybe he's in the bathroom.

"She's awake, she's really awake dattebayo." That voice, no I can't do this anymore, not again. I started to involuntarily shake, my limbs were smaller than I remember and the red of my blood started to cover my arms. Naruto had a wide smile on his face I looked around and there was also Kakashi, Sasuke, Shisui, Neji, and Zabuza sitting in my room. All of their eyes were fixed on me and my body shook even more. I was scared. They were coming for me again, no I can't. I need dad, he will come save me from them again. "Hina-chan I've been waiting forever for you to wake up dattebayo." He reached his arms towards me, he was going to strangle me again. There were no chains so I flinched back into the bed and screamed.

"STAY AWAY STAY AWAY! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! OTOUSAN HELP!" I screamed out in a panic, he was going to hurt me, I don't want anymore. I would rather die, he want's me dead, he said so, they all do. They know I'm not a hero, they turned their backs on me. All I need is dad, he'll save me again. I stopped screaming but couldn't stop the shaking. There was only fear, it's going to happen again, I can't do it. First Kabuto, now this. "NO MORE! PLEASE!" Naruto moved away from me, his eyes wide as he looked to Kakashi for reassurance. He's going to join in too now. "otousan please." I whispered out before I started my counting, preparing myself to keep fighting like dad told me to, I'll keep fighting until he comes to save me again. 

I don't know how much more I can handle, everything else is gone, just fear, brokenness. I want to give in but dad told me I can't. My body shook with more fervor as Kakashi stood up walking closer to me. I pressed my back against the headboard until it was hurting as I cowered in fear. All I could see was the pain, the torture, him coming closer to make me repent for thinking I could be a hero, his incoming attacks to show how much he hates me. I don't want anymore, I'm alone again like I was. Just a sad and abused little orphan girl with dreams of grandeur, look where that got me. Scared and alone again, beaten and worthless.

Kakashi watched me, his grey eye never leaving my form. It wasn't as scary as it was a few days ago, it no longer held the hatred, but it's probably just a rouse to make me feel safe so he can make it hurt even worse. I wasn't sure anymore, I remember Kakashi from my past life, I remember him as my sensei who helped me through my first kills, but I also see him as the man who turned his back on me, he put his Chidori through my side, he helped Naruto and Sasuke explain their hate for me. At first I thought it was all genjutsu, I know Skaura had the skills to do it and hated me, but it felt so real. I don't know which Kakashi is real anymore, the pain was so real, all of it. It hurt by body, it hurt my mind. I wanted it to be over and I can't do anymore of my loved ones hurting me, leaving me. I can feel the pain, hear his words of contempt, the stupid thought that I would actually be a hero like Naruto or Spider-Man. My mind started shutting down again from the mass amount's of thought, all that was left was fear again.

My heart monitor sped up and was peeping rapidly, following the wild palpitations of my heart when Kakashi stood right in front of me. I gripped the blanket around myself as I continued my counting. A woman in a white nurses outfit rushed in the room and touched one of the bags connected to me, probably poison of some sort. My body felt heavy and my shaking stopped all at once as I faded into darkness.

———————————————————————————————————————

A/N this is all while she's out, still in her pov though.

"Kakashi-sensei what was that? Why was she so scared?" Naruto asked. He was hurt that I looked so scared of him, my eyes were different from the other villagers that hated him because they were scared, I looked at him in pure terror and let out pained screams that were chilling. He didn't understand, he helped save her and I acted like he was the one who hurt me. Kakashi was still staring at my sleeping body and didn't answer so Zabuza did.

"You read the report, she saw all of us hurting her in one way or another, right now she cant distinguish us from the illusions she experienced. She thinks we all hate her and she's scared of us hurting her again. Hokage-sama said she'd probably be different and I think this is it, we have to get her to differentiate us from Sakura and get her trust again. The only person she trusts right now is her dad, he was the one who rescued her, it's like we weren't there."

"Oh." Naruto's big blue eyes narrowed in concentration for a second before his big smile came back. "Not a problem, I'm going to make her trust me in no time dattebayo!" He spoke with determination that filled the room and bought a hope to each person in it with the light that oozed out of him. Naruto believed in me to get better, he believed in himself to bring me out of the dark no matter how long it took. I was there for him and he's going to be there for me even more.

Sasuke was gripping tightly onto Shisui's arm before he abruptly got up and walked out of the room, a dark aura surrounding him as he went to his and my parents graves promising them all to help me and not let me get hurt anymore. He thought about my dad saving him and promised to repay the favor by helping Naruto to 'fix' me. He laid down the white flowers and wen't back to the hospital, his mood improved slightly not that it showed. He gathered everyone close to me who was in the village and brought them to my room so they could all figure out what to do to help me.

A/N: So you guys voted and Sakura dies by Saskue burning her to hell!!! She's safe and her father is dead and she doesn't know. Also I wanted to make Hinata's thoughts erratic and confusing to show how she is confused as well, she is mainly scared and can't see the difference between what Sakura made her experience and the truth. She subconsciously knows but after being so weak and feeling abandoned and hated, as well as having her identity of what she thought she was being broken, she is struggling. I love you all! Thanks for reading.

Question: Who do you think would be the best dancer out of all the Naruto characters?

My Answer: Kakashi all the way, he just has so much swagger and is so cool and moves like a badass and I feel like he'd be an amazing dancer in all forms, especially hip-hop.
