Out of all of Konoha twelve Shino had changed the lest amount as he remained like all Aburame, stoic and logically thinking all the time and only spoke when needed. Although despite his lack of changing personality wise he had moved up the Ranks in Konoha quite high where he was the Chief Commander of the ANBU Hunter Ninja division due to his high skill in finding missing Ninja's and cool logically thinking. He had also grow very strong during the last Ten years since he mastered all his Clan Jutsu's and created several of his own he was also the strongest in his Clan and was due to take the title as Clan head from his father next year. Shino had also gotten married to a young Civilian girl (who had not been frighten or disgusted away by Shino harbouring bugs in him) which surprised Kurenai and many others since many didn't think Shino could be talkative enough to talk to a girl on a date and keep her interested but he had proven them wrong.
Kiba had not changed too much either since he was still hot headed and brash as he was when he was younger like most Inuzuka, but he had changed enough in some ways where he was not as loud as he use to be and did not rush into a fight he actually would think and plan before he enter a fight (which had greatly surprise Kurenai when she saw him think out a plan of attack during a mission). Over the years Kiba had learned and master all his Clan Jutsu's and even improved on some of them as well as create his own ones with his partner Akamaru who was now the size of a large bear who Kiba could now ride on in battle or travel on. Kiba had even grow quite high in Ranks of Konoha like the other members of Konoha twelve where he was now the second in command of the ANBU Hunter Ninja division under Shino. Also unlike most of the other male members of the Konoha twelve Kiba was still single although it was not from a lack of trying since he had dated several different girls both Civilian and Shinobi's alike but all of his dates with them turned out with him saying or doing something perverted which resulted in him being beating by each of the girls.
But out of all the members of the Konoha twelve that had changed over the years Hinata had been the one that had changed the most. After Naruto Banishment she was depressed for months where she barely said a word and did very poorly during her training with Kurenai and her father as well as during missions but just when she seem to get out of her depression news of Naruto death came out after which she had locked herself in her room and had tried to kill herself. After Hinata failed suicide attempt she had started to get better when Neji and her Sister as well as Kurenai herself had talked to her and get her to live on for Naruto sake but that had then changed during a spar with her father that she had done poorly in.
-Flashback three months after Naruto Death-
"Pathetic" said Hiashi
As Hinata fell on the ground tired and hurt from training with her father.
"You hardly even improved in the slightest in your Jūken in the past year I expected you to have become better by now with that blond Jinchūriki boy that you had a crush on gone". Said Hiashi
This caused Hinata to look up at him in surprise
"Yes I knew about your crush on him I had hoped that with him gone you would have focused on your training more and gotten better but it seems that I was wrong you only gotten worse I not even sure that you make a even decent Brach member. Maybe Neji should have just let you die when you tried to kill yourself and save the Clan from bearing the humiliation of having you in the main house or even as a member at all", said Hiashi as he sighed in disgust of her.
Hiashi the looked down at her in disgust and then said
"Perhaps if you had died when you tired to end your life earlier then you might have then been with that pathetic Jinchūriki boy since clearly he could never be Hokage despite what he thought and the only reason why he was able to be Neji was because of his use of the Kyuubi Chakra. Perhaps Konoha would be better off without the both of you, no I certain it would be better off without the both of you since it is clearly better off without him in it since he was a clear threat to the village safety with his continue inability to control the Kyuubi power and was putting it in danger and putting the village in the line of Fire of the Akatsuki since they were after him and would have destroy the village to get him, yes there is no question to that both our Clan and the village are better off now that he dead".
After which Hiashi then turned around and began to walk away where he had his back facing her
"Becoming Hokage "hah" has if an idiotic fool like him could have become Hokage let alone even a Kage and idiotic dreamer that all her was" said Hiashi as he continued to walk away.
But had he looked back he would have seen a look in Hinata that no-one had ever seen in her before a look of pure hatred and rage.
-Flashback Ends-
Kurenai remembered how anger she was when she heard Hiashi, since she had come to visit Hinata at the time and decided to stay hidden behind a tree as she overheard the conversation she had even been sorely tempted to beat the living crap out of Hiashi for saying such hateful and heartless things to Hinata. Soon after the conversation and when Hiashi had left Kurenai went to Hinata to comfort her but when she got to Hinata she simply told her that she was ok and that she was use to her father saying such things. Kurenai had know that Hinata was lying to her but decided to let it go and let Hinata come to her to talk to her about it when she was ready but she never did. Over the next three years Hinata became like Shino where she barely spoke to anyone even to Kurenai she would often disappear and come back with burses on her body and whenever Kurenai talked to her about it she simply told her that she was ok and that she was just training. It was then when Hinata was sixteen that during a meeting of the entire Hyuga Clan, Hinata exercised her right an heiress of the Hyuga Clan to challenge Hiashi as Clan head which had shocked everyone both in the Hyuga Clan and in the entire village. Kurenai remembered just before the match between Hiashi and Hinata how she, Neji and Hanabi had tried to talk her out of fighting her father since they had all believed that she would just get herself killed. But Hinata had refused to give up Kurenai even remembered Hiashi offering her a chance to give up and not be humiliated in front of the Hokage and the entire village (since the match was in the village arena) to which Hinata refused.
