Chapter 10: The Recommendation
FLASHBACK
[3:30 pm] Two Days Before Hinata Entered UA...
HINATA'S POV:
(*panting*...) "I'm..." (*panting*) "I'm so tired..."
My eyes felt heavy and my vision started to become blurry. I was in the city, sitting on a public bench under the sun as I was catching my breath from overusing my chakra too much.
"It hasn't been the end of the day yet..." (*pant*) "and I'm already on my limit..."
I tried once more to focus my chakra to use my byakugan, but my system was already worn out.
After trying numerous times, but failed, I decided to take a break. I rested my back on the seat and looked high up the sky, seeing the bright sun, slowly covered by the clouds.
"It's been a week and five days... I've been searching day and night... but why?.... why can't I find anyone!?!?...."
I lowered my chin and sadly thought...
"Was the Neji I saw was real?... or was I just imagining things... Did I missed my friends so much that I'm starting to hallucinate?..."
As I was busy thinking of these things, a sudden bang hit my ears. I held my eyes up and saw many people gathering at the spot where the noise came.
"Show up All Might!!!! or I'll kill this little girl!!!!" a deep villainous voice shouted.
"A villain?.." I thought as I slowly stood up to looked at the scene. A strong bulky man was lifting up a little girl, pointing a sharp knife on her neck, while the mother was at the side trying to save her child, but was being stopped by the citizens since the situation was dangerous.
"I said come here All Might!!! I dare to challenge you!!!" the man moved the knife closer to the child's neck.
A few minutes later armed men arrived and were about to control the situation, but the villain threatened to kill the child if they would come any closer.
"Please leave my child alone!!!" the mother pleaded with tears streaming down her cheeks, but the villain provoked the mother more by making a slight cut on the girl's neck.
When I saw the situation, I had this feeling in my gut, my limbs couldn't take it, seeing such cruelty, so I took action.
"I still have chakra left, I can do this!..."
With my few left chakras, I swooped in the scene and in a split second appeared on the villain's wide shoulders. Before he could react, I gave him a smack on the face with my gentle fist. The hit made him drop the little girl and there she escaped.
I looked back at my opponent only to see his punch right at my face. With his other hand, he grabbed me on my neck and I was there, helpless, with no chakra left.
"I'm a weakling!... I can't even save myself!..."
I tried to free myself, but he only tightened his grip, even more, choking me a bit.
"I can't breathe!..." my body started to feel numb.
My eyes shut in struggling to breathe. It was about to be my end when someone suddenly caught me away from the villain's grip, and I was able to get a big gulp of air.
"Hugh Hugh Hugh..." my hand slipped to my chest as I regulate my breathing.
"Fear not! Hope has arrived! Because I am here!" a deep heroic voice scurried to my ear.
I slowly forced my weary eyes to open, and I found myself being carried in bridal style by a muscley man that had a huge grin on his face.
"Is this All Might?..."
The next thing I knew everything turned black...
[Time Skip] Now about 7 pm...
THIRD PERSON POV:
Hinata's eyes slowly opened halfway and she found herself lying on a bed, encountering such harsh bright light, making her squeeze her eyes down a bit.
"Where am..."
"She's awake!!" Hinata heard a woman's voice beside her.
Hinata turned her head to where the voice came from, and she saw Midnight, recalling back when they first met.
"Why?...." Hinata's voice cracked a little inside her head.
She looked around a bit and saw more people were in the room, people who she didn't know were pro heroes: Eraser Head, Present Mic, All Might, Midnight, and the Principal Nezu.
Hinata got surprised and thought something was fishy, so she suddenly sat up and turned her byakugan on, taking a random ballpen that was placed on the table beside her, and infused it with chakra, pointing it to all of them.
"Who are you?!!" She said with a bit of braveness and at the same time mixed with nervousness in her voice.
"Wow wow, chillax dude! we ain't the bad guys!" Present Mic said in his usual tone, rapping and dancing at the same time.
Hinata wasn't convinced. She moved her hand and was about to make a move when Aizawa's scarf immediately tied Hinata's hand that was holding the pen.
"He said we aren't the bad guys. We're pro heroes, the one who saved you." Aizawa gave Hinata a bit of a scary stare.
Hinata looked at all of them, and it seemed like they were telling the truth. Anyway, she could see them lying if their heartbeat was off, but it wasn't.
Hinata calmed herself down and released her byakugan, also dropping the pen down.
"I'm sorry..."
Hinata quickly apologized afterward with her head slightly tilting down to the side, feeling a bit shy she overreacted.
"We're sorry too, we didn't mean to scare you." The Principal said, climbing up to All Might's broad shoulders.
"I'm..." Nezu started but was interrupted by Hinata.
"Thank you for saving me, but I didn't ask for this, so don't make me pay for these fees..." Hinata said with a bit of attitude, but the heroes just shrugged it off.
"Don't worry! we've got that..."
"Then fine, I'll go..." Hinata interrupted them again, now All Might.
Hinata slowly moved her legs to the side of the bed and was about to stand up when the Principal said...
"We want to recommend you to UA..."
Hinata paused for a while as her eyes widened a bit.
"We saw your performance at the entrance exam, you had such extraordinary skills," Nezu said, referring that Hinata had multiple quirks which they didn't know was actually just some Jutsus. "Midnight told me she accidentally forced you to join. That was the reason why you didn't have your name registered there. We..."
"I'm sorry, I don't have time for this." Hinata stood up and looked at them. "I have my own problems... I don't want to waste my time here." She knew she was a bit too harsh, but Hinata really didn't want to stay long. She already missed her friends so much, she couldn't waste precious time becoming a part of this world.
"Man, she's still young and she already has problems." Present Mic side commented, whispering it to Aizawa's ear.
"Shut up," Aizawa said.
Hinata turned her back on them, and slowly took her steps walking towards the door. She reached her hand to the doorknob and was about to open the door when she suddenly heard.
"We'll help you. You're looking for someone right?"
Hinata turned her head, and she saw Aizawa showing his cellphone to her, seeing a photo of her in the city with her byakugan on.
"I got this from the CCTV... If you'll..."
"I don't need your help. I can do it by myself." Hinata turned her head back and opened the door.
"You've been found by the CCTV searching for someone for a week and five days now. Are you sure you can do it yourself?" Aizawa spoke up again, stopping Hinata from walking out.
The room was filled with dead silence. After few long seconds...
"Fine...but in three conditions..."
Their eyes widened a bit at the sudden approval.
"It has to be free...provide me a place to stay... and..." Hinata turned around and looked at them. "Make sure you can help me..." Her eyes lightened a bit.
"Don't worry, I accept your conditions." Nezu smiled at Hinata.
"Man ain't giving her free tuition, and a free place to stay too much!?" Present Mic commented again.
"Shut up!" Midnight and Aizawa simultaneously gave him a smack on the head.
"Good decision Aaah... What's your name?" All Might said, raising an eyebrow.
"Hinata... Hinata Hyuga..." She gave them her sweetest smile.
"I'm only doing this for Neji and the others... I won't cling to this world...never..." Hinata thought under her smile.
"This is my only chance... UA..."
