Vampire İn Naruto World

The sky had turned gray.

Dawn was approaching, but the unease inside me… was just beginning.

Hinata was still in front of me, kneeling on the ground, staring at me silently.

And I was still waiting for that voice.

"System…?"

But… nothing happened.

"I completed the mission.

I turned Hinata.

Why hasn't the system rewarded me yet?"

Growing impatient, I whispered in my mind:

"System. Answer me."

Silence. No response.

And then…

Hinata lowered her head, clutching her stomach with trembling hands.

"Master…

Please…

I… I'm starving…

There's this emptiness inside…

It's burning…"

Zekiram's eyes widened.

In that moment, he understood.

"It's not complete.

She hasn't fully transformed yet."

"Just biting her wasn't enough.

I drank her blood, but…

She's still hungry.

This must be…

Some kind of ritual.

The final step is for her to drink blood."

I closed my eyes, brought my wrist to my mouth, and bit down.

Blood began to flow.

"Hinata. Take it.

Take my blood..."

[WARNING]

Blood exchange between vampires is forbidden.

This will not ease the receiver's hunger; instead…

It will make it worse.

"So… my blood would only drive her wilder.

I'd lose her."

Quickly, I scanned the area.

Empty streets.

A couple of houses. And then…

A man.

A civilian gathering leftovers from the marketplace.

Innocent. Helpless.

But… necessary.

Zekiram moved.

Like a shadow, he approached.

A light blow to the head

The man collapsed, unconscious.

Zekiram returned to Hinata, dragging the man and dropping him in front of her.

Hinata squinted at him, trembling, her fangs growing longer.

"Th-This… is for me…?"

Zekiram nodded.

"Yes. Drink. But… try not to lose yourself."

Hinata slowly leaned over the man.

The first sip…

Then the second…

The third…

And then… she didn't stop.

Zekiram narrowed his eyes, grabbing her by the arm.

"Enough!

Hinata, that's enough!"

Hinata's gaze locked onto his, her pupils glowing blood-red.

She shuddered and pulled back.

The man was still breathing…

Barely, but alive.

[Mission Complete]

Reward Granted: User has unlocked Chuunin-Level Chakra Control.

Suddenly, something surged within me.

My chakra…

It wasn't wild anymore

It was controlled.

Hinata sat on the ground, resting her hands on her knees, her eyes fixed on me.

There was no fear in her expression…

Nor that familiar shyness.

She wasn't that quiet little girl anymore.

This was different.

Cold. Calm…

I crouched beside her, staring into her face.

The wounded man's faint breathing still echoed in my ears.

But Hinata's full attention was on me.

Silence lingered between us.

Then I took a deep breath.

It was time to speak.

"I don't know how you're feeling right now…

But you're no longer the same.

Because now… you're like me."

Hinata lowered her head slightly, but her face remained calm.

It wasn't a bow of shame

It was acceptance.

"You… are now a vampire.

We are different from ordinary humans.

We're stronger. Faster.

And… more dangerous."

I paused, watching her reaction.

She listened without blinking.

"The sun won't affect you unless you drink too much blood.

But if you starve… you'll lose your mind.

So you must be careful.

Those like us… turn into monsters when we hunger."

Hinata glanced at the ground

Then… smiled.

"I understand… Master.

I've never felt this clear before.

I'm not afraid anymore."

"Is this really Hinata?

That timid, stuttering girl?

She's… completely different.

Vampirism didn't just change her body

It changed her soul."

Suddenly, Hinata's gaze shot back to mine.

"I'm not weak anymore.

Not my family's pressure…

Not the bullies…

Not even my own fears…

None of them can hold me back."

Zekiram fell silent.

This wasn't what he expected.

He had anticipated obedience.

Maybe even admiration.

But this…

This was a new personality born from transformation.

Hinata wasn't just a follower anymore.

She had become a creature capable of forging her own path.

"There's loyalty…

But freedom too.

This isn't just submission.

This is… evolution."

Hinata's gaze remained locked on me.

Silent, but ready

As if waiting for orders like a soldier.

But we had already drawn too much attention tonight.

I glanced into the depths of the street.

The unconscious man still lay there, but… he'd wake soon.

And tonight had already been far too risky.

"Hinata…

This night must end here.

Go home.

Keep acting like your old self around your family.

Don't attract too much attention."

Hinata paused for a moment.

Then she bowed slightly, respectfully.

"As you command, Master."

She turned around and disappeared quietly down the street.

I watched her steps fade into the night.

Then, slowly, I headed toward the hospital.

Moving through dark alleys and rooftops, I reached the rear entrance.

The security here was weak.

From my student uniform, I pulled out a small scalpel—

A relic from my father's past.

Carefully, I cracked the door open.

Inside, it was quiet.

Sterile… dimly lit.

As the cold air rushed in, the scent of blood filled my senses.

It was like the system had activated—

My body became sharper, more alert.

I followed the scent.

I reached the blood bank.

The fridges were full.

Type A, Type B…

Labels and numbers.

But it didn't matter to me.

Vampire blood didn't discriminate.

One bag… then another.

As I grabbed the third, I heard a nurse's voice from inside.

"Who's there?"

I didn't freeze.

I ran.

I slipped out through the back door, leaving no sound behind.

Within seconds, I was back in the night's shadows.

I locked the door behind me.

The house was still dark, still filled with my father's lingering presence.

His belongings… the shop…

But he wasn't here anymore.

Because I… had drunk his blood.

I carefully stored the blood bags.

Some for Hinata, some for myself.

But it wasn't hunger gnawing at me anymore…

It was questions.

"What am I now?

Where do I belong in this world?

I'm in Konoha… but

my rules don't belong here.

I'm different.

I'm not alone anymore—Hinata's here.

But is that really a good thing?

Was I right to make her like me?"

I lay down on my bed.

The ceiling above was shrouded in darkness.

Before the sun even touched the earth, my eyes opened.

I was already ready.

As always:

100 push-ups.

100 sit-ups.

100 squats.

Five laps around Konoha.

My body had adapted by now.

It was tough, yes…

But I no longer collapsed from exhaustion.

The morning sun had risen.

Shadows shortened, and bright light flooded the streets.

But the Hyūga compound…

It seemed to trap shadows inside its walls.

Tall walls.

Not a single window facing outwards.

Two guards stood at the gate—stern, cold, emotionless.

I approached.

They both turned toward me simultaneously.

One scanned me from head to toe before speaking in a cold voice:

"Stop.

Entry forbidden."

I'd expected this.

But I wasn't about to give up so easily.

"I want to see Hinata."

The guard didn't hesitate.

He raised his hand.

"Leave."

I glared at them, but I knew I was still just a child.

Challenging them would be pointless.

I calmly stepped back.

"I'm her friend.

Please… just tell her my name.

Zekiram."

The guards exchanged a glance.

Then, one nodded slightly and went inside.

The other kept glaring at me, icy and unmoving.

Time seemed to crawl.

My heart was steady, but my mind was ready for anything.

Five minutes.

Maybe seven.

Then, the guard returned.

"Lady Hinata is expecting you.

You may enter.

But show respect."

The gate opened slightly.

A cold yet inviting breeze drifted out.

And I stepped inside.

The Hyūga compound was silent as I walked through it.

Every stone, every step… was in perfect order.

It felt less like a clan's home

And more like a sacred temple.

After a short walk, I was led into a small room.

Once the door closed… it was just the two of us.

Hinata. And me.

She sat before me.

She looked different from last night.

Her hair was neatly tied, but there was a spark in her eyes.

The timid, slouching Hinata was gone.

In front of me stood a confident presence.

The silence stretched.

Then I spoke first.

"Hinata…

I want to make sure we're truly alone right now.

Could someone be listening in?"

Hinata's expression sharpened immediately.

Without hesitation, she nodded.

"I'll check right away, Master."

She closed her eyes for a moment.

Then…

Her Byakugan activated.

Her pupils vanished, veins bulging around her eyes as she quietly scanned the surroundings.

Silence.

No movement.

Her eyes focused on one direction… then another.

One more round of scans.

"No one within 20 meters.

The adjacent rooms are empty.

No movement in the corridors.

No one eavesdropping.

We're safe, Master."

Zekiram gave a small nod, a faint smile forming on his lips relieved, but also impressed.

Hinata deactivated her Byakugan and calmly met my gaze again.

She sat upright on the cushion before me, hands resting on her knees, eyes locked onto mine.

I spoke slowly.

"Hinata…

For now, I need you to be careful.

No one must know you're a vampire.

Not your family… not your trainers…

Not even the other Byakugan users in your clan.

Your existence must remain hidden."

Hinata didn't flinch, lowering her head in acknowledgment.

"Understood, Master.

I'll suppress my reactions."

This discipline impressed me but my test wasn't over yet.

"And also…

I want you to train every day.

Strengthen your body.

Learn to move silently and leave no trace.

Be ready to protect both your clan… and me."

Hinata lifted her head, a dark but respectful glimmer in her eyes.

"As you command."

There was a brief pause.

Then, leaning in slightly, I asked her something far from simple.

"I have a question for you, Hinata.

Let's say…

If both I and your family were in danger at the same time…

Who would you save first?"

At that moment, I searched her eyes for any hesitation

A flicker of doubt, a tremble, a glance away…

But there was none.

"You, Master.

Every time.

No matter what.

Only you."

"That answer…

Is she really that decisive now?

Has she changed enough to abandon her family without a second thought?

Or…

Is her bond with me becoming something more than just loyalty?"

With those questions swirling in my mind, I stared at her expression.

There was no fear.

No pain.

No regret.

Only… me.

The room remained quiet.

Hinata sat before me, calm and disciplined.

But there was still one last thing I had to say.

I looked straight into her eyes without hesitation.

My voice was low but firm.

"Good.

That's enough for now.

I'll be leaving."

Hinata slightly bowed her head, a flicker of curiosity in her eyes.

But I continued:

"Unless I contact you first…

Or unless it's something absolutely urgent…

Don't try to reach out to me."

Hinata immediately responded without hesitation.

"Understood, Master."

A brief silence fell

The moment that drew a clear boundary between us.

I stood up.

Walked toward the door.

No sound followed me.

Hinata didn't even move.

The streets were quiet.

I said nothing after leaving the Hyūga compound.

I opened the door to my home.

It was still the same.

Dim. Quiet.

Mine.

I took a deep breath and closed the door.

Just as I was about to take off my shoes

"You're late, Zekiram."

I froze.

My eyes widened.

My heart skipped a beat.

I spun around on reflex.

In the pitch-black living room…

A silhouette sat waiting.

Pipesmoke hung in the air.

Behind those glasses… wise, gray eyes stared at me.

The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi

Sat calmly in my chair, waiting.

"Relax, child."

He gave a faint smile.

"I just want to talk."

But that smile didn't last long.

The wrinkles on his face hardened.

His gaze wasn't that of a grandfather anymore—

It was the gaze of a leader.

"I have a few questions for you, Zekiram.

And I need honest answers."

I swallowed hard.

Tonight, I had felt like a master.

But now…

I was just a child again.

"What does he know?

What could he have heard?

Has he been watching me?

Or… is this just a test?"

Slowly, I nodded.

"Alright…

I'm listening, Lord Hokage."

I sat up straight

But inside, a storm was raging.

Hiruzen leaned forward slightly in his chair.

His piercing eyes locked onto mine

But his voice remained gentle.

"How long have you known Hyūga Hinata, Zekiram?

And… how did you become friends?"

I was prepared.

I had expected this question.

I didn't look away; I kept my breath steady.

"About a week, I think.

I saved her from some bullies after training one day.

Then… we started talking.

We've been friends ever since."

Hiruzen's expression didn't change.

Neither suspicion nor trust

He just listened.

But then…

"Recently…

A civilian was found unconscious,bearing marks similar to those found on your father's body.

He survived… but lost a lot of blood."

Silence fell, thick and heavy.

"Are you absolutely sure…

That you didn't see anyone that night?"

A sudden chill washed over me.

My heart raced.

My legs tensed.

But I forced my face to stay calm.

I swallowed, feeling a brief panic.

Then…

"Yes… I'm sure."

My eyes drifted downward.

"But…

I still want to punish whoever did this.

I want to find them.

And for that… I need to grow stronger."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed.

Hiruzen's stern expression softened.

His gaze held no shadows anymore

Only sorrow.

"I see…"

He took a puff from his pipe.

"A child with this much resolve inside… it's both hopeful… and terrifying."

He stood up

His robes brushing softly against the floor.

He walked toward the door.

Just before leaving, he paused.

Without turning back, he spoke:

"Take care of yourself, Zekiram.

This world… is dangerous even for the strong."

And then, he left.

"He didn't believe me… but he wasn't fully convinced either.

He's just watching…

Maybe testing me.

Or maybe… simply waiting."

That night, as I lay in bed, I didn't sleep.

Even with my eyes closed…

Hiruzen's voice echoed inside my mind.
