Chapter 57:- Team 7's first Meeting

Hiashi Hyuga, the Patriarch of the Hyuga clan. While many couples wish that only they had a daughter, Hiashi was blessed with not one but two beautiful and very talented daughters. While other clan's Patriarch might not like the fact that their wife gave birth to two daughters, Hiashi did not think like that. In fact, he was extremely happy when his two daughters were born. The day when he held Hinata and Hanabi in his arms, he was the happiest man on the planet. 

While raising two daughters Hiashi has never loved them differently. He never ignored one of his daughters, while giving all of his attention to the other daughter. Since the day, the two of his daughters were born, he and his wife took an oath that they were going to treat their daughters equally in everything. They were going to love their daughters equally and not show any kind and any form of discrimination. Both of their daughters were equally precious to them.

And to this day, even after the death of his dear wife, he has never broken that oath. He loved his daughters equally. His daughters were the most important people left in this world. Hiashi never let either one of his daughters feel that he was being biased towards the other daughter. 

If he went out to buy chocolate for one of his daughters, then he would buy another chocolate for his other daughter, even if she did not like chocolate, to keep everything fair for both of his daughters. He did not want any of his daughters to feel like he was giving more attention and love to her sister. 

Growing up Hiashi has showered his daughters with love and care. 

Unfortunately, when it came to making the decision on who would become the next head of the clan, he had to choose between one of his daughters. This was a choice that greatly pained his heart. Every single day he would feel his chest tighten while thinking about this decision. 

As the Patriarch of the Hyuga, Hiashi did not have any choice. One of his daughters had to become the next head of the clan. 

From a very young age, he noticed that one of his daughters had great talent, while the other one wasn't as talented as Sister, but she was equally, if not more hard-working, and also responsible like her sister. 

While one of his daughters was an introvert, the other one was an extrovert. While one of his daughters was shy, and quiet the other one was loud and very naughty. 

From a very young age, Hanabi had shown promise. Hiashi felt that Hanabi could become the next Patriarch of the Hyuga clan. It wasn't just because of the fact that she was more talented than Hinata, it was also because of the fact that her daughter wasn't shy and quiet. She was smart and extroverted. These traits would come in handy when she was going to become the next Patriarch. 

On the other hand, the main problem with Hinata was that she was too shy and quiet type. A leader needs to be confident. A leader is someone who could motivate her clan. The Hyuga clan needed that type of leader. But Hinata clearly wasn't a leader material. 

So from an early age, Hiashi did not have much hope for Hinata. That did not mean that he had started being biased towards Hanabi or anything. However, the training that Hanabi received was different from Hinata. For example, Hanabi was already being trained on how to deal with the financial affairs of the Hyuga clan. But this isn't something that Hinata needs to learn. As she won't become the clan head.

Of course, Hiashi still now has never told any of his daughters anything about becoming the Patriarch. That was a matter that he was planning on discussing much later. 

But he really hoped that his daughter would change and would become more confident in herself. As long as Hinata became confident in herself, then she would be unstoppable. But even after years of trying to change his daughter, Hiashi had completely given up. 

The worst thing was, due to her shy and reserved personality, Hinata was also being bullied when Hiashi or Hanabi wasn't around. The clan member would never dare to disrespect Lady Hinata not to mention bullying her. It was mostly the outsiders who took advantage of this. 

However, all that changed one day when a mysterious blond-haired young man came into his daughter's life. 

'Naruto.....Naruto Uzumaki!!! The son of the 4th-Hokage and Kushina.' Hiashi thought about the young man who completely changed his beloved daughter's life. His presence had changed Hinata a lot. 

The current Hinata was a lot more different than the Hinata of 6 months back. 

'He was able to train my daughter so well.....!!! I owe him one for that.' Hiashi thought as he recalled just how powerful Hinata had become within 6 months time. Now the current Hinata was strong enough to defeat Hanabi with pure taijutsu. She did not even need to use any Ninjutsu to defeat Hanabi. 

The result of their spar had greatly shocked Hiashi and other elders. After all, they never expected Hinata to improve so suddenly. 

As the clan leader of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi was naturally informed all the times when Hinata went to train with Naruto. Even though he knew, he never stopped her since his daughter was improving so fast.

'But from the looks of it, my two daughters seem to have fallen for that bastard.' In the end, Hiashi felt his heart burning in rage. 

How dare that stupid punk? The two precious daughters that he raised for all of these years were now being taken away by that bastard.

'At first, I thought it was only Hinata but I never expected Hanabi to also show signs of falling for him. And now that she is in the same squad as him, there is no stopping this.' Hiashi could do nothing but sigh out loudly and only hope for the very best. 

As for the matter of his daughter being in team 7 and being under two of the best Jonin of Konoha, Hiashi was really happy about this matter. At least he won't need to worry about the safety of one of his daughters. 

'And given how strong Hinata has become, she at least will be able to escape safely.' But Hiashi still did not feel calm. Knowing that his lovely daughter is going to be with that ladyboy made him feel restless and also angry. 

Hiashi already would have kidnapped Naruto and would have threatened him to stop flirting with other girls in the Ninja Academy but he could not do anything because of Kushina. 'She is too unpredictable. Who knows what mad things she will do once she learns that I have kidnapped her son? What a pain....!!'

Scene change____

On the rooftop, 

Kushina was sitting on the stairs while Kakashi was leaning against the wall. Naruto, Hanabi, Sakura, and Sarada were standing in front of Kushina. Kushina was staring at everyone with a big grin on her face. 

"Alright!!! Let's start with the basic introductions. Since we all know each other there won't be any need for an introduction between ourselves." 

"But please introduce yourselves to your Jonin Sensei. Kakashi, you can go first. Tell your students about your likes and dislikes, your hobbies, etc....!!!" Kushina watched from the sidelines. 

"I am Kakashi Hatake. My hobbies are a secret. My relationship is a secret." Kakashi's introduction was pretty bland. 

Bang.....!!!

Kushina hit Kakashi on the head with a pissed look. "What's with that lazy attitude?" Kakashi's entire body trembled seeing Kushina's red hair moving like octopus tentacles. He could see killing intent leaking out of her. 

'Things might change but she is still the same as ever.' Kakashi thought while rubbing his head. 

This wasn't the first time that he was hit by Kushina. It kind of brought back some happy memories for Kakashi. 

Cough...!!!

"I am Kakashi Hatake. I am single. I don't have any parents or family left in this world. The 4th-Hokage was my teacher. I like reading novels.' Kakashi did not mention that he was into reading the novels written by Jiraiya only. If he did say that, then he was afraid that Kushina would give him a good beating. 

Kushina nodded her head feeling satisfied. "That was much better than before. Now you four. Introduce yourselves."

"I am Hanabi Hyuga. I hate people who bully my sister. I enjoy taking revenge on such people." Hanabi said with a sadistic grin on her face. She was giggling while imagining the times when she did that.

Seeing this Naruto raised an eyebrow. Now that was a new side of her. 

"Sadly my sister is no longer weak. So she won't need any protection anymore." Hanabi loved protecting Hinata. But that did not mean that she wasn't happy about Hinata becoming strong. No, in fact, she was extremely happy when Hinata defeated her. After all, Hinata was the eldest one among them. And Hanabi has always respected Hinata like a big sister. 

"There are many things that I like in this world. I don't like eating sweets as it makes my face chubby." 

"I am Sakura Haruno. There is a certain person whom I am like. I wish to get stronger so that I could attract that person and make him like me." Sakura blushed while saying that. She was somewhat glancing at Naruto's direction while saying those words. 

But hearing Sakura's words, Sarada and Hanabi felt irritated. Hanabi's right eye began to twitch while Sarada tightly clenched her fists. 

'Oh.....!!! Now that's interesting.....!!!' Kakashi noticed the romantic atmosphere. He felt that this genin squad suddenly had become much more interesting. 

"I am Sarada Uchiha. As the last surviving Uchiha, my only goal is to end the life of a certain someone who has killed my parents. I like training alone. I hate it when my training sessions are interrupted."

"Aside from that, I don't have any hobbies." Sarada's tone was cold and uncaring. 

She wanted to add more words and say something about Naruto but in the end, she found it too embarrassing to say anything. 

"I am Naruto Uzumaki. My favorite food is Ramen and my second favorite is to eat whatever food that my mom cooks. My dream is to restore the Uzumaki clan and also become the Hokage of Konoha in the future. My ultimate dream is to make peace in the whole world." Naruto did not want another war. He has seen the harsh reality of war and what a war could do to the people. By becoming Hokage, Naruto wanted to prevent War. He was going to do that by becoming the strongest one. 

He planned to become so strong that the other four villages would do anything but go to war with Konoha. 

'I can see a hint of Minato-sensei in Naruto...!!! He is definitely their son.' Kakashi thought while staring at Naruto. 

Kushina slightly blushed hearing Naruto loved her cooking so much. 

'If Naruto wants to restore the Uzumaki clan, then wouldn't it mean that he will have multiple wives.' Just thinking this Hanabi blushed furiously. She could already imagine herself marrying Naruto and having his child.

'Kya....!!!! Even for me, this is just too much...!!!' Hanabi held her cheeks and squealed in joy in her heart. 

Noticing Hanabi holding her red cheeks, Naruto grew concerned about her. "Hana-chan, are you alright?" 

"Ye...I am.... mean I am fine." Others were confused seeing Hanabi's reaction but Kushina was somewhat able to understand what Hanabi was thinking. 

'Well, she also has fallen for Naruto...!!!!' Kushina knew that this was going to happen eventually. After all, given how handsome her son was, any woman in this world would fall for him. 

"Now that the introduction part is over. Tomorrow, I want you all to come to training ground 7 early in the morning. Those who come late will be punished." 

"Even Jonin teachers will be punished for coming late." Kakashi felt his back stiffening upon hearing these words. 

Naruto knew why his mom said these words and he was happy to hear them. After all, he already had gone through this experience before in his other world. 

"This ends Team 7's first meeting.....!!!"
