This was a problem better solved sooner rather than later, and he decided it was time to take some unprecedented action. While the elders would not agree with him, he could admit that neither he nor they were getting anywhere.
It was time for some outside opinions.
He signed his letter as he called for one his messengers.
"Please see to it that this proposal is taken to Shikaku Nara immediately. Also, please find Hinata and tell her I would like to talk to her."
"Of course Hiashi-sama," the servant said as he bowed.
As he left the room, Hiashi tried to move his thoughts away from the mess of the library and move on to something else. Today was an important day after all. Today was the day Hinata took her first step into the real world.
He almost smirked, but there was a knock at his door as a light voice rang out, "You wished to see me father?"
His face immediately shifted into his trademark stern composure as he told her to enter.
She entered the room, keeping her back straight and eyes forward as she bowed before him.
Hiashi was paused before speaking. "Today is an important day for you and I expect only your best. Anything short of that would dishonor the clan."
"Hai tou-sama."
He nodded. "You are the heir to the most powerful clan in the village. Your actions represent not only your own strength, but also the strength of the clan. We cannot tolerate showing weakness. Do not disappoint us."
"Understood."
"Good, then you are dismissed."
She nodded and bowed once again before scuffling out of the room. Once he was sure she was out of earshot, he let out a sigh. He had to keep up appearances after all and it was too late to change his technique now. Hinata would have to flourish on her own or drown.
He stared at one of the few pictures that adorned his desk. One was of himself and his wife along with his two daughters. It had been taken shortly after Hanabi was born. The other, that he held his focus, was of a trio of children standing in front of a man in a jounin jacket. The man with spiky white hair looked as though he was booming with laughter, seemingly amused at the antics of his students.
Today was an important day that would shape the rest of her life. Her career was now out of his hands and about to be placed in someone else's.
He sighed as visions of the past played in his mind as he before he returned to the surplus of work that threatened to engulf him.
As unpopular as Hinata was within the clan, the opposite could be said for how the villagers regarded her. No matter what the elders said, the civilian population adored the kind Hyuuga princess. Unlike many in her clan, she would always make sure to bow back to anyone who addressed her. She would always take time out of her day to talk with the small children running around the village.
Today was no different. As she made her way to the academy, Hinata returned every smile and cheerily responded to the shopkeepers who wished her luck as she passed.
Today was a big day. The big day.
The day she finally became a kunoichi.
It was uncommon for Hinata to be full of such confidence, but today she was sure of herself. Sure, she still withdrawn and quiet, but a more astute observer would notice the spring in her step and the different way she carried herself. Due to her impeccable chakra control required of her to utilize the jyuuken techniques, the academy's three techniques had been simple and required no time to learn. Of course that didn't stop her from spending hours in private making sure that all of them were perfect.
She walked around a pothole and shifted the weight on her back. She fumbled with the box in her bag making sure that the orange wrapping paper wasn't visible. She'd die of embarrassment if someone saw the square bulge and asked whom it was for.
Today wasn't just a special day for her. Today would be Naruto's last attempt at passing the academy. Although she was concerned, she had confidence that today would be the day he finally passed.
She knew had been working extremely hard to keep up with the others. She always saw him sitting in the corner during the lunch with his nose in his books jotting down notes, and never wanted to disturb him. It always impressed her seeing him try so hard to improve himself. His determination was what helped her motivate herself to push through whenever she felt down. She was always impressed by his attempts to improve himself and she never wanted to get in his way.
But today was going to be the day it all finally paid off. Today he could finally get to show off what he could do.
(Flashback)
One day, she had been roaming the training fields searching for a particular herb that grew in the areas with high concentrations of chakra. As she finally found the small plant, she realized she was not alone. She had stumbled across the blonde deep in concentration with a strange kunai in his hands.
He had multiple scrolls and books spread out around him in a circle. They contained all of the notes he had ever taken on his secret project, for today was a special day. Unknown to her, Hinata was about to witness one of the biggest milestones of Naruto's life.
He had finally made a breakthrough with his secret project. He had been experimenting with creating his own seals when he stumbled across a strange connection.
