Hinata's Hidden Technique

Hinata sighed as she turned off the light in her room and went to bed. Closing her eyes as she started to reminisce. It had been years since Naruto became Hokage and she was still nowhere closer to getting him to recognize her. Despite everything that had happened, all the pain and misery that had been inflicted upon the shinobi world through the victory in the fourth shinobi war, Hinata had not managed to find her slice of happiness. She had seen several other of her contemporaries find love. Sasuke and Sakura, Ino and Sai, Shikamaru and Temari. She could at least find solace in the fact that Naruto was still single...at least to her knowledge. She had spent countless hours stalking him, trying to find out anything she can about his close relationships. It would seem he is too busy as Hokage to bother finding love, something that was both a blessing and a curse for Hinata. It meant she couldn't have him...but at least nobody else was stealing the one Hinata had her eyes on since the very beginning. Her desperation had only grown with time though as she had tested more outlandish ways of trying to get Naruto's attention. At first she was shy like in her youth, but with time she was growing bolder. Hinata opened her eyes. There was no way she was going to be able to sleep. She got up and looked out her window into the moonlight night. It was full moon, allowing for plenty of visibility. This occurrence was not uncommon for her, looking out across the Hyuga estate in the middle of the night. What was uncommon however was her eyes being suddenly drawn to a moving figure. She only caught a glimpse. A shadow dashing across the nearby pond. She activates her Byakugan instantly to analyze the situation. Her eyes are met with the sight of someone's chakra flowing. Moving away from her. Someone she did not recognize. An enemy?

Hinata grits her teeth. She has no time to grab her proper gear. She dashes off by hopping out her window to start her pursuit. Following the source of Chakra that she had spotted. She was closing in on it with ease eventually getting close enough to see the figure with her naked eyes. Another shinobi, dressed in robes with no discernible patterns was holding a collection of scrolls, running as best as they can despite clearly carrying more than they really should. Why had they not brought some sort of backpack or belt buckles? Hinata caught up to the stranger who barely had time to notice her and struck him across the temple with a well placed palm strike, rendering him **** as he slid across the ground, spilling the scrolls over the forest floor. Hinata paused. That was remarkably easy for someone of her skill. Was this man even a ninja? Or simply some sort of common bandit. She walked up to the knocked out man and was planning to drag him back to the village for questioning. But first she was going to collect the scrolls that he had clearly stolen. As she picked up the first one she noticed the seal of the Hyuga clan embedded on it. Hinata froze. She knew these signs...these were the forbidden scrolls that the clan had kept safe and hidden for generations. A secret unknown even to the rest of the hidden leaf village. How had this random lowly thief managed to steal them? She shook her head. These sort of questions could wait. It was time to bring all of these scrolls home and-....

Hinata paused once more, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. Or....she could simply pretend that nothing had happened. Get rid of this complete stranger and claim the scrolls as her own. Perhaps there is some sort of technique in here that could give her exactly what she wanted. A way to prove herself to Naruto for good and gain his love. Hinata hastily collected the rest of the scrolls, it would be a bit of a hassle to carry them back to the estate. She undressed the **** stranger and pushed him into the nearby river. One less worthless criminal would surely not be missed by anyone...and it was for a good cause in the end, right? Using the mans robe as a make-shift pouch, she carried the secret scrolls back to the Hyuga estate, climbing in through her bedroom window. She opened the robe on the wooden floor and took a peek at the collection of scrolls, pondering which one to try and learn first.
