Hinata was still very much confused. Though she was quite young and very introverted, it didn't mean she was stupid. She knew about the curse and once Neji went too far in his training and his father had to use the curse technique. She even apologized to Neji for her father's actions at that point.
But now hearing her 'own father' was saying that he wasn't her father and had been masquerading around as one made her a bit confused.
"Hinata do you want to see your father?" Aoto asked as he could see that Hinata was still very much confused. Hinata could only subconsciously nod. Getting the green light Aoto and Hinata both vanished and kept Hizashi in the room alone.
Hizashi used his Byakugan to see what had happened but he couldn't see their presence at all.
"A space-time ninjutsu like the fourth Hokage? No. It's better than the fourth Hokage, he didn't even need to touch Hinata-sama to use the technique? What are you actually Aoto Yamazaki?" Hizashi went into deep thought.
----------------------------------------
Hinata was taken aback by the sudden change of surroundings but when she saw the new place, she got more confused and more flabbergasted.
"Welcome to the library." Aoto said.
"What.. What is this?... Library?"
"Think of it as a place where all the knowledge of the multiverse converges." Aoto replied.
"Multiverse?" Hinata was confused and asked.
"Someday you will understand. Now let me take you to your father." Aoto said and they soon walked through the massive library. She could see things and books floating around and was surprised.
"This is amazing. I have never seen a place like this in my life. Uh.. If this place is so big why haven't we seen it Konoha." Hinata asked.
"An answer for another day." Aoto didn't answer and replied.
She wanted to ask why it was happening but meeting her father was the point and she wanted to get rid of the confusion. As they were walking, they suddenly heard a loud voice from behind.
"Eh Hinata.. You are here too? Torune.. Come here.. Hinata has come."
There was only one loud mouth in the whole library after Edward and that was Naruto. He came running in and all excited.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Naru.. Naruto-kun." Hinata was all red now and was almost hyperventilating on the inside.
"Eh.. Hinata... Are you all right? Why is your face all red? Do you need some water?" Naruto could see the red face and asked. Torune came from behind and placed his hand on his shoulder. Naruto might be an idiot, but he wasn't. He could see the adoration Hinata had for Naruto.
"Hinata welcome to our secret library. I hope this idiot isn't a big of a bother for you." Torune said.
"No.. No.. Torune-kun I am here to meet someone." Hinata replied.
"Someone?" Torune looked at Aoto and he just nodded. Torune knew not to ask anymore.
"Hinata now that you are here I can finally show you my Tao mandalas. You know now I can throw them like a boomerang. It's sad that I still can't catch them." Naruto said as tao mandalas showed up on his hands and he threw one out. It rotated at high speed and flew out but it didn't return back, instead it hit a flying book. Naruto was all dejected. The 'book' seemed to be very angry about the hurt Naruto had caused and thus blasted away the tao mandalas which vanished after a second
"Naruto-kun.. What.. What kind of ninjutsu is that?" Hinata couldn't help but ask.
"Ninjutsu... How can it be ninjutsu.. It's magic.. Didn't you come here to learn magic?" Naruto was also confused and asked. He knew the rules. Only those who wanted to learn magic would come here and asked.
"Magic?" Hinata had a question mark over her head.
"That's alright. She is here for another purpose. You guys go on practicing." Aoto said.
"I am going to sleep. I just turned some of the bugs into disfigured coloring beetles and dad is very angry. I better avoid him for the night." Torune said as he yawned. Aoto also sent Naruto away as he had been working hard the whole day.
Hinata had more questions now because she had never thought that magic could be like this. She only knew magic as some kind of tool to fool the young kids about ninjutsu and now Naruto was telling him that it was magic.
What was going on?
Aoto took her and finally came to an open place that seemed to be empty. Aoto swiped his hands and within seconds a transparent huge cube appeared. Inside the huge transparent room was a man sitting reading some book. He looked dejected and crest fallen.
Hinata gasped when she saw the man. It was her father. After the death of the 'uncle' she always felt something was wrong with her father but now that he saw her father again everything clicked for her.
Now she understood why her 'father' there bowed down to her and why he said he was sorry. So his father was actually here all the time.
"I know you have questions. You can go and ask him. Don't worry you can go back after this but your father would have to stay here for the time being." Aoto said and made sure she understood what he meant. Hinata was a bit scared now.
If a person like her father could be easily imprisoned and made a fool out of Konoha, it meant this person was really powerful. Did Naruto-kun knew about him? No, he would have said and from the looks of it the imprisonment cell was invisible to her eye before Aoto made it appear.
"Can.. Can I go in?" Hinata asked.
"Of course." Aoto said and in the next moment, a door appeared like a hole on the transparent wall. She hesitated a bit and walked in. Hiashi who had seem to lost all hope seeing his daughter walk right in was taken aback but then he got a bit angry.
