A clear nightsky hangs above a frozen sea.

In the middle of the frozen sea is a lonely island, covered in snow.

Made visible by star- and moonlight stands a tall tree in the center of the island.

A lone tree in a land of ice and snow, illuminated by a white moon, surrounded by a frozen sea and accompied by a single blue rose.

Despite it being covered in snow and having lost all its former glory, it still stands true against the harsh environment.

The blue rose below the tree is the only thing not covered in snow and was solely protected by its tall friend.

"This scene looks so beatiful, but I can't help and feel sad."

No other words were spoken for minutes, until I made my way to the single rose.

The moonlight perfectly illuminates the rose and creates a scene of wonder and solitude.

"This is supposed to be my mindscape?

Truly pitiful. In a world of white there is only one color and it has to be a single blue rose."

"Boss. Are you alright?"

"I am fine Minion... where are you?"

"Oh right behind you Boss! No a little lower."

"Are you really this super adorable and white rabbit?"

"Rabbit? I am a rabbit?!"

*pet*

"Oh yeah. Right there. No a little higher. Yeaaa~ perfect~"

*pet*

"Anyway. Do you have any idea what we are doing now, Minion?"

"Hmm. You wanted to see if you can learn that talent. What was it called again?"

"It was called "Memory Mindscape'. Let's try and find some memories. Maybe we just have to sort them out and create a library or something. I would imagine that with a well structured mind, I will be able to access memories faster and more precise."

That is what I said, but looking around you can't see anything except for a white landscape. It is funny how the ground is perfectly clear in a white color and in contrast you have the black nightsky filled with stars.

Without any real lead to the memories, I close my eyes and concentrate on my first time walking, hoping that something will lead to the memory. I feel a pull from somewhere and open my eyes. The pull is coming from the nightsky and looking up there is a star, which is now glowing stronger than the others.

I will the star to show me its memory and I find myself in my body as baby Hinata, walking the very first time in the Hyuga compound.

Interesting. All these stars are memories of mine. But just to test another memory I concentrate on my first mobile phone number.

I feel the same pull again only this time it is coming from the frozen sea. Inside of the frozen sea is a glowing fish, no, there are several fish, but the glowing seems to be the one with my phone number.

"Minion do you have any idea, how we are going to structure our memories? Knowing where they are might the most important thing. I also don't want to introduce anything to my mindscape that is ruining this beatiful scene."

"Then why not go to the moon? We don't actually have to stay here, right?"

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"True. Follow me."

I look up to the moon and imagine myself standing on it looking at the frozen sea and it succeeds.

But instead of a frozen sea, I can see a completely white Earth.

"Minion I want you to establish living quarters on the moon. They should look completely natural with the environment.

Inside there has to be a library that is filled with knowledge about this world. Be it about chakra, characters, techniques, anything. I want every book to be password protected and want a master book with all passwords inside of it. That maser book I want you to send inside of the sun, have it there locked. It should only be recoverable by people that know my full name of my last life.

Additionally I want to have an observatory on the moon that named every visible star. In the observatory should be a book that connects every star to a memory. That book you again have password protected. Also try to give the stars names that somehow marks their importance. I want to know which stars house the important memories.

Once you are done with current memories, I want you to create an underwater city on Earth. Have all fish captured and housed in our own Atlantis. I want you to have all fish protected by a barrier that only lifts, when you have seen all my Hinata memories, know my full name of my last life and have the Byakugan. In fact have the master book protected the same way.

This way no one besides me will be able to access them.

Also have fake memories created for both the sea and stars.

If you like you can add more protection on the password system as long as I know about it."

"Puh Boss. You like to have me working hard."

"Go ahead with it. I am even allowing you to have a little fun in here as long as you are not changing the view."

"Yes I got it."

After telling Minion01 what she has to do, I leave the moon and am back at the frozen island.

I look at the blue rose and ask it for its meaning.

"Interesting."

With everything done, I concentrate on my own body and managed to leave my mindscape.

Learned 'Mindscape'

Mindscape

Allows user to protect his own mind

Hm. I guess I will have to completely restructure my memories to create the 'Memory Mindscape' ability.

Anyway at least I got the extra stats.

Hmm. I have lived here for one year already. The year sure went by fast.

"Hinata. Are you alright?"

"Yes mother."

"Hm~ What do you think about visiting the town? You, me and Ko as bodyguard."

It would be interesting to see Konoha.

"Yes! Sir. Fluffykins too!"

"Yes, he will come with us."

On the next day I left the Hyuga compound for the very first time.

Konoha looks even better in real life than in the series. Dozen of people walking around and the occasional ninja jumping from one roof to another. I even saw a genin team helping an old lady with her shopping. And don't get me started on the Hokage monument. It is huge.

We even paid a visit to the Inuzuka compound and I met Hana again.

"Hey little princess, what are you doing here?"

"My present!"

That was when Hanas mother, Tsume, entered the scene. She has super spiky, brown hair and like all other Inuzuka, the famous clan markings on her face. Her whole look makes her seem like a rough and wild person.

"Good day. Hitomi and Hinata. Already here to take a look at the animals?"

"Yes!"

"Hm. Hana bring Hinata to the dogs, I will be here and having a boring adult talk with Hitomi here."

"Follow me Hinata."

We walk for around three minutes without talking and enter a shed. Inside is the highest amount of cute puppies I have ever seen.

I am in heaven.

"Must. Pet."

*pet* *pet* *pet*

"Damn. You really like cute animals."

"Cute is justice."

"Hmm~"

So here I am petting cute puppies, while there is an uncomfortable silence between Hana and me.

"Have you seen Itachi lately?"

"No."

"Ah I see."

Why should Itachi meet me? Wait. Is she jealous? I am one year old! There is no way I am looking for anyone at my age!

"You know Itachi has been asking about you."

Seriously...

"Ok!"

"I forgot... even if you are another Itachi, you are still a one year old kid."

"Hm?"

I can't believe it. How can you get jealous of a one year old...

"Anyway. My brother started talking yesterday. You won't believe what his first word was ..."

After that talk about Itachi, Hana just started talking about completely random stuff and that ended my visit.

Unfortunately I didn't get to keep any dogs, but I am still happy to have met all the puppies.

On our way back to the Hyuga compound, we stopped at a dango shop and I could already feel who would be inside the stall. And I predicted correctly...

"Good day, Lady Hyuga. Hinata."

"Itachi! *hug*"

That caught him off guard and made him super uncomfortable. Hinata 1-0 Itachi.

After the hug Itachi quickly left the dango shop, because he had to do shopping for his mother. Of course.

Anyway that concludes my first trip to Konoha and opens the curtain for another grueling months of training.
