She had a Message from the Hokage

Naruto opens the door to his apartment to find Hinata standing there. "Hey there Hinata, what brings you over here?" asked Naruto. "Hello Naruto, I was sent here by the Hokage to deliver you message. She has a mission for you over in Suna to help Gaara out. They are opening a news ninja academy building and wanted the hero of the 4th Great Ninja War to be there." replied Hinata. "Thats great!" exclaimed Naruto getting excited. "I haven't seen Gaara since the war ended. It should be great!" he said. He invites Hinata in to gather some of his things.

"The Hokage apologizes about sending you out on another mission so soon after coming back from your trip, he said the mission should only take a few days." said Hinata. "Eh its no problem if its to help out Gaara." said Naruto with a laugh. "That reminds me, how was your trip Naruto? I know you were going to see if you could find out some information about your clan." said Hinata. Naruto, then looks a little surprised. He almost forgot about the Kaguya mask and jutsu when Hinata came over. He only remembered when she brought up the trip. He looks over to part of the room and saw the mask still sitting on top of the jutsu array. He then starts to think if he should tell Hinata about the mask and jutsu. If the mask really contained Kaguya's power, it could be potentially dangerous to leave around in his apartment. He then began to come up with an idea, he could leave it in Hinata's care until he could figure out what to do with it when he came back. He and Hinata had grown closer after the war, and there was no one he trusted more than her.

Naruto was so lost in his thoughts, it was only until Hinata tapped him on the shoulder that he snapped out of it. "Oh, sorry Hinata, I was just thinking of something." He then began to tell her of the shrine, the scroll containing the jutsu, and the accidental mask he created. Hinata was shocked from what she heard. She couldn't believe such a jutsu existed. It was then Naruto asked her to keep the Kaguya mask safe until he returned. He mentioned that it held a great power, and was afraid of it falling into the wrong hands.

Naruto picked the mask up and gave it to Hinata. The minute she touched it, she could've sworn she felt a slight pulse come from the mask. Hinata thought she was imagining it, and figured it was just her nerves. After Naruto finished packing they both said their good byes and headed there separate ways. Naruto to see Hokage so he could start his mission, and Hinata headed home so she could keep the mask safe.

It had been about a day since Naruto left, and Hinata hadn't left the mask out of her sight. Her Naruto tasked her with this request, and she wouldn't let anything get in her way. Hinata was currently in her room looking at the mask. Her mind began to wonder about the mask. Could it really contain the power that Kaguya wielded? She didn't realize it, but she had been staring at the mask for a while now. Her eyes began to have hazed look like she was in a trance. She began reaching for the mask. It was almost like it was calling out for a wearer. She unconsciously had picked up the mask. She felt that familiar pulse again, when all of a sudden...
