日向ヒナタ

[The feed seems rather unstable. When it first clicks off, there's static, then it shows the Naming Tree. For those who can read Japanese, HInata has just finished engraving 'Uzumaki Naruto' on it. She is facing away from the feed. It looks like she put the PCD down before getting to it.

Then, it switches to static again, for a longer period. When it finally switches back to a more or less normal feed, it shows Hinata's room. She's put the PCD down on a chair, and has removed her sandals, and his sitting on her bed, holding her knees, her forehead pressed against them so that her face is not visible.

From the way her shoulders shake, it's obvious she's crying.

More static, and then the feed cuts off for good.]

[The feed switches on. Hinata appears. This is an intentional post, but she's looking nervous and fidgeting, as usual when under scrutiny.]

A-Ano ... if anyone lost anything during the flood ... I can help recover it. I-I can see through things and with a really wide range, so I can p-probably find it again, so i-if you need help ...

Y-You can just tell me.

[Fidgetfidget. Then, she cuts the feed.]

[Hinata is in her house, sitting at the kitchen table. She looks a bit tired, like most people this week, but mostly, she looks ... a bit at a loss what to do. She is fiddling with the PCD and apparently pondering something.

Then, she finally presses a few buttons, and the rest of the message gets filtered.]

( [Private to Naruto//Visible to Sakura// Unhackable] )

( [Private to Raven//Unhackable] )

[Then, she unfilters again.]

J-Joutarou-san, I can help you setting up the shelter, if you want to ...

[Hinata is in the clearing behind her house. She's only wearing her usual ninja garb without any additional covering, and has fallen into stance. Looks like it's time for some training now that the corset is off.

She starts off with a kata to warm up, leaving footprints in the snow as she whirls around.

After this, she forms a few seals and raises her hands.]

Kagebunshin no Jutsu !

[Two more Hinatas poof out into existence - that is about the amount of Shadow Clones she can create with her chakra while fighting at the same time. All three of the Hinatas raise their hands in front of their eyes.]

Byakugan !

[The chakra creeps around their eyes, making the veins stand out in sharp relief. The three of them then fall into stance and start sparring.]

[Hinata is back at Unohana's Clinic. She's been seen to and bandaged and patched up, but from where she is lying on her stomach on the bed, one can see that the beautiful, purple butterfly wings that took up most of her back at the beginning of the week have been torrn to shreds.

The damage was heavy, and obviously, Unohana wasn't able to repair it all. There is still some dried blood flaking on the wings where minute tears are mending, and Hinata's face constrict with pain every time they flutter.

The kunoichi is gritting her teeth, apparently fighting back tears and failing when a sob finally escapes her.]

N-Naruto-kun ... W-Why can't I ... ever help anyone ?

[The feed switches off.]
