Chapter 1:

Knock knock. Tsunade sighed as she dropped the scroll she was reading then verbally invited the person into her office, today just had to be Shizune's off day. She hoped it would be something exciting or really just about anything that would distract her from the "Kage's curse". Anko walked into Tsunade's office, a kunai twirling in her hand. "Anko? What do you need?" Tsunade leaned back into her chair. "Well I want an apprentice. I am bored and I do not want a full team." Tsunade smirked, she knew that Anko and a team of Genin would be like mixing oil and water. "Who?" One thing Tsunade knew about Anko is that she might be a sadistic person but she never did something without actually considering all the options. "Hyuuga Hime." Tsunade almost choked on her own saliva as she thought what poor Hinata would be put through if Anko took her on. "Why her?" She had to ask. "Well for one she has that will to be stronger then what everyone thinks she can be and I think it'll be fun to have a little shy one under my wing." The gleam of excitement in Anko's eyes amused Tsunade, it was not often that the Snake Mistress was excited about anything other than torture and dango. Tsunade snapped her finger and two ANBU guards appeared in front of her desk. "Hokaga-sama." The kneeled and awaited her instructions. "Find me Hyuuga Hinata and Hyuuga Hiashi."

Hinata was waiting at the bakery for her cinnamon rolls. She usually baked them herself but today she just wanted them on the go. "Here you go Hina-sama." The elderly woman handed her the box that contained six cinnamon rolls. As she paid for her treat an ANBU member appeared next to her, if she did not notice the displacement in the air she might have shrieked in surprise. "ANBU-sama, may I help you?" The elderly lady asked the ANBU member. "No Ma'am. I am here on official business. Hyuuga-Hime, the Hokage requests your presence." Hinata nodded then placed the box of baked treats into a bag and then proceeded to follow the ANBU guard member towards the Hokage's office.

Hyuuga Hiashi was rubbing the side of his temples as he listened to another elder of the Hyuuga Council insult his daughters. He had enough of the insults and had decided it was time to retire these old clowns. Hinata and Hanabi had both proven themselves more than competent since the Sound-Sand invasion. Hinata and her team had taken numerous D-rank missions a day and they had been sent out to complete more than ten C-rank missions. Hanabi had just been moved up a class in the academe and was due to graduate a year earlier. He was proud of his daughters, the way he raised them was shameful and the Kyuubi-boy was the one that had shown him that, now he was doing all he could to ensure that they are entitled to what is rightfully theirs.

"I've had enough. This is the last council meeting where my daughters will be discussed. You will all find a scroll in front of you. Open it, read it and then kindly evacuate the council room and then move to the branch member district. You are all hereby stripped of your council positions. You have been a part of it for too long now. Your service has been appreciated but it is time for a new leaf." Hiashi did not dwell on their surprised gasps and outbursts. He had prepared for it. As he walked out, the hired ANBU guards assisted the Hyuuga elders out of the room and then escorted them to their current living quarters, their mission was to ensure that they did not take any main branch scrolls and that they did not activate the curse seal on any other Hyuuga member out of spite, if they did then they would be arrested and executed within 24 hours.

He knew he was being paranoid but it was time he did right by his daughters.

The new appointed council would be of younger eyes and of pure heart. Ko, Hitomi's brother, would be head of the council, Neiji would join him as soon as he made Jonin rank and then Himara, the woman who he owed his life to, would take another seat. There would be one chair left empty up until the time that he felt Hinata was ready to start her training as clan head. He would occupy the last council seat.

As Hiashi reached his office he noticed an ANBU guard awaiting his presence. "Anbu-san, may I help you?" "Hyuuga-dono the Hokage requests your presence." Hiashi nodded then followed the ANBU member to the Hokage tower. He knew that Tsunade would not waste his time. The woman was as demanding as they came but she knew how much time a clan can take from a person.

Anko was yawning by now as she stood awaiting the Hyuuga's arrivals. Hinata arrived first, immediately being led into the office by the ANBU guard. She bowed respectfully to the Lady Hokage and to Mitarashi-san. "Hinata, good to see you again. We are just waiting for your father then we can resume this." Hinata nodded then proceeded to twiddle her fore fingers as she wondered what trouble she could have been in if it merited the Snake Mistress's attention. She really hoped that she didn't end up at the receiving end of her torture.

Tsunade had to hold in the chuckle as she watched Hinata's nerves take over. Anko though was a different story and smiled in a rather sinister fashion at the girl. Hinata knew she was burning up but she couldn't help it, she was terrified.

Finally Hiashi arrived and Anko and Tsunade let up on Hinata. "Thank you for joining us Hiashi, now let's get down to business. Anko has requested to take over Hinata's training."

Hiashi shook his head to ensure that he was not imagining the Hokage's words. "And you think this is a good idea Tsunade-sama?" Tsunade was irked by the doubt in Hiashi's tone but she knew that Hiashi was trying to mend his wrongs of the past. She crossed her fingers and leaned them against her jaw and kept her eyelids party closed. "Yes Hiashi, I think that Hinata would benefit in both building her character and independence and I am aware that Hinata wants to prove herself. If Anko wants to take her as an apprentice then I know that Hinata will flourish and she will also be following in a very lethal kunoichi's footsteps."

Anko licked her lips in anticipation and Hinata was unsure if she should appreciate this offer or run for her life.
