Due to 10 different Valley Of The End Chapters Being written, and subsequently being deleted, the next 2 chapters will be filler to set up what will happen at the Valley.

A/N: Sorry for not posting in a long time, but I'll be posting regularly again now!

"Flashback"

I'm a GREAT writer (Emphasis)

Two weeks.

It had been two weeks since Anko and Hiashi had started to train her. Two weeks since she had learned to use snakes for her own benefit, and to use Water Style.

Two weeks since she had confessed to Naruto.

Two weeks since the bastard had said he only had eyes for his precious Sakura-chan, but hoped their friendship wasn't ruined because of that.

It was more than ruined.

It was over.

And now Hinata stood atop the head of the Fourth Hokage, her curse mark stretched over her whole body. The pink aura turning a dangerous black-like color, as she thought of how many ways she could beat that pink haired Sasuke-kun fanatic into the dirt.

Hinata took a shaky breath. She couldn't hate Naruto for his words. In his defense he had tried to put her down nicely, her curse mark receded to cover only the left half of her body.

She remembered.

One week ago. The snake had told her to get the attention of her love, her father, her clan, and her village. Was to gain power. And honestly? It was a pretty damn good offer. She could power, and she could, she could crush anyone who didn't respect her under her boot. With each thought the curse mark flared even more, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The curse mark faded. And she sighed.

Anko had warned her. She had said that if she thought enough negative thoughts, the curse mark would affect her, it fed off those thoughts, and that if she let it spread, she would become consumed by it. But she didn't really care at this point in time. Hinata was pissed. She jumped from the monument. Landing carefully on top of a buildings roof. She continued until she was at the North Gate of Konoha, she could already feel his presence before she turned.

She spat the words out, as if they left a bad taste in her mouth, "Hello Uzumaki."

To say Naruto was taken aback was an understatement. He was shocked, he couldn't help but notice the missing –Kun, and the formal way of saying his last name only.

He took a deep breath and stood next to her, "Hinata-chan?"

Hinata didn't even look at him, "Yes Uzumaki?" Naruto just sighed and looked at her, "You're mad aren't you..." Hinata scoffed, "You think?" Naruto just continued to stare with his piercing blue eyes, "I don't want to lose you as a friend Hinata-chan, don't be mad." Hinata just looked at him for a moment, "Fine. I won't be mad. Now I have to go." And with that she jumped away. Leaving Naruto there alone. If you were to look at Naruto's well concealed face, you would see it glistening with wetness, and a torn look on his face.

Thus ends chapter 3. I want to make Hinata cold towards Naruto so that when I reach Shippuden, she feels a kind of lasting shock when Naruto has feelings for her making him fight at the Valley. Sorry the chapters so short, but I'm cutting down the fillers to about a quarter of what a normal chapter would be. And the Valley Of The End Chapter so far, is LONG.
