Everything was silent as I watched my opponent drop to the ground as blood rolled down his face from his eyes that were so much like mine. What I felt was regret but a sense of finality washed over that feeling just as quick to stop me from trying to heal the old man. His hands that were so tightly gripped to my robes had loosened and his words became muffled by blood that toppled over his flapping mouth.

Then he was dead.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Madara staring at the body with grim satisfaction before he looked behind me. I turned slowly around to see everyone had been watching my fight with the elder of the council. I made a quick count to see everyone had survived but no one was without their wounds much like me.

"It's over ne?" My questions was made in a small and weak voice so I couldn't help but cringe at the sound of it considering everyone heard me in the silence of the blue moon the barred witness to the end of the council.

"Hai." At that moment I collapsed to my knees as my body could no longer had the strength to hold me up as exhaustion took the reigns.

I paid no intention to the arms that shot out to try and catch me but instead for opting for sprawling out on the ground after landing on my knees. I looked up to the blue moon wondering what was going to happen next but as people moved around me and as voices called my name I felt safe for the first time since my mother was alive. The sense of that feeling scrawled across my skin to keep me warm, it swept across my mind to calm it and it filled my body and soul with peace. I closed my eyes and I was brought into the realm of sleep.

The next time I awoke was in sweat and panic and a beating heart that hurt me to breath. I closed my eyes and try to regain my bearings but last nights events came spiraling back to me. The old man I had killed was Hikaru's father, my blood and the worst part was he was happy in the end it was me who killed him; it's what he wanted all along. I clenched my fists at the look of happiness at his impending death and his last words to me shook everything I stood on.

"You're just like me, like him, you're meant to rise above everyone and become a true immortal like us. But my dear child you're absolute, you have no weakness and no one can stand in your way."

For the first time I can remember I felt tears running down my face as the sobs shook my body as I let the sadness over take me to the place deep in my heart.

He was right, I was like them but in his eyes I was perfect because unlike them I have no weakness to be used against me. Hikaru had Maya and Madara and they were used to kill him. Hanoto Hyuuga an elder of the council of all people had a weakness as well that the other council member used against him, me.

The reason the council didn't kill me the moment they realized who I am was because of Hanoto, the one who stopped my ka-san from drowning me was Hanoto, the one who had me banished so the hyuuga's wouldn't beat me was him, the one who stopped the council from killing me when I was weak was him, the one who healed me after all the beatings and the one who killed my mother in order to protect me. All this time I thought it was my father who held me with love but it wasn't because Hiashi never loved me, Hanoto did. I killed the only family who loved me unconditionally for revenge and power and I've never felt more alone in my life.

"Hinata?" I looked up and through my blurry vision I saw three figures standing in the door way only seconds before I was gathered up like a child into an embrace. I turned into the familiar body as I cried into his chest with reckless abandonment as the youngest held my hand as to keep me from falling while the oldest rubbed my back to sooth me.

"What have I done?" I've never sounded so vulnerable since I was child but I didn't have the heart to chide myself.

That night I told those three everything I had learned about our ancestors, about the council, about Hanoto, I couldn't help myself. I didn't get any sleep and neither did they as the sun broke the room's morbid atmosphere.

"Hinata-chan you're not alone, you have us and everyone else that you've touched along your journey."

"Hai, Madara's right, we have each other and that's a new beginning in itself." I looked to see Madara and Sasuke smirk at me and I can't help but chuckle at them trying to comfort me. Itachi just tightens his embrace and it doesn't take long for me to understand he's never going to let go of me no matter how much I push him away.

The wind caresses my face and then moves to sway my long hair behind me as I watch from the Hokage monument the scene before me with a fond smile. Everyone in Kohona was helping rebuild the Kage tower that had been destroyed by the Bijuu among other parts of the city. I sat back and stared at the sky in contentment as I stole this moment to myself before I was found. I had reopened the gates as Suna and Kohona left paradise to go home. A Smile formed at the memory of me telling everyone I was leaving by my self and their threat to chain me to the monument if they had to. I told them that the countries would seek retribution against me because I had broken the very law I had created as Iwa's Kage. A war was coming that would include all the countries but this time I wasn't alone, I had Kohona and everyone in it standing right beside me.

"You seem peaceful Hinata Hime." I opened my eyes to see my family looking at with amusement.

"You know I get the fact that you would want to hide from the dobe and the others but I don't appreciate it when you hide from us, we had to drag Neji away to find you."

'Shut up Sasuke, if Hinata-sama wants some peace to herself then she is entitled to it." I watched Sasuke and Neji bicker in affection before Itachi pulls me into his lap and intertwines our hands. Madara shakes his head and sits beside Itachi as Kisume, Deidra take their seats as the last two sit on my side still glaring at each other. Together we're a family and with their help I'll never become what Hanoto thinks I am and I'll continue living as long as I can.

'Hinata-chan." I open my eyes to see Naruto-kun as he looks a little uncomfortable with the death glares he's getting.

"Hai Naruto-kun?"

"Tsunade and Shikamaru need you right now." I can tell its serious so I mist out of Itachi's arms because with him it's the only way I can get out of his hold before I transport to the building where the head quarters are being held for now. Naruto comes a second later and ushers me into the long corridor where the atmosphere is thick with tension. Of course if I thought the corridor was bad it was nothing to compare to when I walked in to the meeting room.

"What's going on?" Old habits die hard as my voice demands attention and obeisance.

"A letter from the other nations Kage's, they're declaring war on us for breaking the Iwa Iron law." I look at Shikamaru in the eye and I can tell there more but the messenger breaks the silence.

"Since I am ambassador for Iwa I will tell you what were talking about so some like you can understand, The Iron law is fairly new and was created by the Greatest Iwakage-" I look at the messenger and I roll my eyes at him before I cut him off and save myself a trip down memory lane.

"I know what the Iron law is." He and his entourage frown at me before the messenger pulls himself to an even further height.

"Who are you to interrupt me? I am from the newly appointed Iwakage herself, Kata!" I ripple of anger turns my blood to ice at the name; everyone notices the sudden drop of temperature but the ambassador himself.

"What? I thought I killed that fucking rat!" Everyone looks at me in shock before the man snaps out of it and begins to yell at me.

"How dare such a lowly dog call our great Kage-"I was in front of him seconds and had him lifted off the ground and against the wall.

"I am Hinata hyuuga, the fifteenth Iwakage of Iwa; do not raise your voice to me." I was seconds away from killing him at the thought of that woman running the country I had once sacrificed everything for.

'Hinata-chan that's enough." Tsunade's voice brings me out of my red haze as I drop the sniveling man on the floor.

"As your former Kage I demand that you take me to Kata where I will personally see to it that I finish off every last living memory of her."

"Hinata you can't just go to Iwa and kill their new Kage! Can't see how unreasonable you're being?" I stare at Sakura before I turn back to the whimpering thing on the floor.

"No, I passed a law that all allies of Mutsumi were to be exiled or executed including that woman; she's alive so there for she's breaking the law. I will go to Iwa."

"Hinata, we can't afford for you to leave." Shikamaru's voice breaks the argument and for the first time I see my friend looking tired and warn out.

"Suna has declared itself neutral.'

Noise broke out all around me but the shock of his words shook me further then I would have liked.

"It will be impossible to stay neutral, so in the long run Suna is now our enemy." Neji's hands on my shoulders kept me from falling or doing something stupid like going to Suna and kicking Gaara's ass the going to Iwa and doing something plain suicidal.

"Hai, I'll stay here for now." They were surprised I agreed so easily where moments ago I wanted nothing more then to leave.

The ambassadors were escorted out of the city quickly before they really tempted me and everyone cleared out around 11 at night after long hours of strategizing. In the end there was only me, tsunade and three full bottles of sake, and fifteen empties but that's all that was needed.

"Ne, Hinata-chan how can you out drink me?" I smile at the drunken woman as I down the rest of my bottle and take the last one for myself.

"practice."

"Humph! Do you think we'll survive this war?"

"Who knows?"

"Oi! Your supposed to say hell yeah! And then we'd get all pumped up and go kick some ass!"

"Tch, I wish, I want nothing more then to go kick some Kage ass! First Suna for betraying me, Then Iwa's for still being alive, The cloud for killing me and putting me on display then sounds for what they did to Sasuke, Rice for giving me to Orchimaru, Then to mist for making me leave."

"That's a lot of Kage's!"

"Hai." I smile before I grab a blanket and wrap it around the passed out Kage before I start to leave but her voice stops me in my tracks.

"Ne, Your really different ne?"

"Hai, I know." I shut the door but not before I heard her last words.

"You finished your mission ne?"

Ok thats it for Mission of the past!!! Review and tell me if you want me to make the sequel or leave it. And how you liked the story over all!!

Kata is from chapter 11-12 and was mutsumi's lap dog.

I didn't put the fight in because it will be in the sequel and Hanoto the elder will be in as well in more detail.

If i write a sequel it will be more about Hinata, her problems, interactions with kohona people, more memories revealed, and some characters would come back. and more detail about Hanoto hyuuga senior!!
