Repaying a Debt

"Neji would you be so kind to refill my canteen from the stream over there?"

A young boy who had to be the age of nine turned around, and gave a small smile to the older women as he took the canteen from her hand. His long brown hair was put in a ponytail, but unlike most ponytails he had his hair tied an inch away from the ends of his hair.

Each step the boy took would make his hair sway beautifully, something the older branch member smiled at, as she watched him walk over to the stream.

"Even after being debriefed by Hiashi sama and the Anbu I still don't believe that a battle took place around here,"

Neji easily heard the whisper of one of the branch members as they talked, the two men that listened to the other nodding in agreement.

"It's not possible, for as many bodies they assume there were to disappear like that, its unheard of, and to do it in a course of a night? I think the villager is playing our Hokage a fool"

"You may be right, but,"

"You three! Hiashi san as requested you join up with Hana sans party, they may have found something and need back up"

The three branch members quickly bowed to the Anbu operative and took off into the trees, leaving the Anbu member, and the remaining two Hyuga members.

Looking over at the two branch members the Anbu operative spoke clear and firm "You two are to remain here and continue your search, if you find anything, one of you are to report back to Hana san or Hiashi sama, do I make myself clear?"

Neji glared softly at the Anbu operative, his hand slowly balling into a fist when he noticed the older women bowing her head in shame and embarrassment when she recognized the tone of voice the Anbu operative was using.

"H-hai Anbu san"

The anbu operative looked over at Neji, his dark brown eyes watching Neji's fist relax as he bowed his head as well "Hai Anbu san"

The Anbu operative nodded and turned around, but before he jumped into the trees, he looked over his shoulder and glared at Neji.

"If you ever glare at me again, I won't hesitate to break every bone in your body, and let's not forget your seal as well, I heard they work quite effectively"

Neji and the older women both flinched at his words, a small flame of fear growing in their chests as they both thought of the seal branded on their foreheads.

When the branch members both bowed their heads, the Anbu operative leapt into the trees, disappearing from their sight.

"Forgive me Arisu,"

The older women looked over at Neji and smiled softly, her long black flowing hair seemed to shine slightly in the sunlight, as the few gray hairs she had gave her an aura of wisdom.

"It's fine Neji, just remember not to provoke the higher ups, or show any sign of anger towards them. You listen and respect them, they'll leave you alone and respect you in due time,"

Neji nodded at the womens words and sat down on his knees as he closed his eyes.

"Neji, would you please refill my canteen, I'm still quite thirsty"

Neji opened his eyes and felt a small blush grow on his cheeks when he noticed the toothy grin the women had and nodded. Once he stood up, he quickly turned around, and walked toward the stream, the lingering feeling of anger still fresh in his mind 'I'll change how they see the branch house, I'll prove them wrong, all of them'

As Neji knelt down beside the stream he angrily shoved the canteen into the water and growled to himself. The anger and frustration that was welling in his chest made him want to scream, but instead of giving into his emotions, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Opening his eyes, Neji felt his heart stop when the saw a small red streak in the stream. He slowly put his hand into the stream, a sense of dread growing in his chest as he pulled his hand realizing what the red streak in the stream was.

Blood

Neji quickly stood up, ignoring the worried call of Arisu, and activated his byakugan with a firm shout.

'Just follow the stream, follow the stream'

Following the stream Neji felt his eyes begin to hurt as he used his byakugan but he quickly ignored the pain and found what he was looking for.

There was a body laying beside the stream, its chakra signature was low, dangerously low.

"Arisu!"

Arisu easily heard the panic in Neji's voice and quickly rushed to his side, and when she saw that he had his Byakugan active it immediately made her activate hers as well, trying to see what he found.

"There's a body 1.6 miles away from here, all you need to do is follow the stream to find them"

Arisu did so and gasped when she saw how low the persons chakra was, "I'll go retrieve Hiashi sama!"

Neji looked at Arisu and nodded giving the hyuga a polite and respectful "Hai"

"Neji, do you know how to patch a wound?" Arisu asked quickly

Neji nodded and took off running while Arisu jumped into the trees, both with a determined look on their faces.

Four minutes later

"Hiashi sama! We found a body!"

Hiashi quickly turned around and watched as Arisu jumped down from the tree tops and bowed her head as he stood in front of her.

"I sent Neji to help the person while I came to retrieve you, the person chakra is low, we must hurry"

Hiashi nodded and noticed how panic Arisu looked and understood that they needed to move fast "Arisu lead us to Neji, let's go!"

Arisu nodded and took off into the trees, with Hyuga, Anbu and Jounin following after her.

"Neji is a natural when it comes to the Byakugan, I can see Arisu is right, the persons chakra is dangerously low, its amazing Neji found them so easily"

Hiashi sighed and looked to his right, finding Hana running beside him with her Byakugan active, "Hizashi would be proud,"

Hiashi felt his heart stop at the name that left his wife's lips, but he quickly pushed aside the feeling of guilt and pain that grew in his chest and nodded in agreement to what his wife said.

"If what Arisu says is true then the person Neji found is on the verge of death, we have to hurry"

Hana frowned at what her husband said, and watched as he picked up speed, which in turn made the large group of shinobi run faster.

With Neji

Neji felt his heart speed up when he noticed the stream of water was now fully red, showing that he was close, and the person he was looking for lost a lot of blood.

Too much blood

After pushing through a bundle of bushes, Neji easily saw that the person was a boy possible two to one-year younger than him.

Running to the boys side, Neji knelt down beside the boy and carefully pushed the boy so that he would lay on his back. It was a shock for Neji to see such a large cut running across the boy's chest. The cut seemed to start at the boys right shoulder leading toward his left hip, where it ended.

Neji easily noticed that the cut was deep, resulting in why the boy was laying in a pool of his own blood, something Neji ignored but still felt sick to his stomach when the smell of iron invaded his nostrils.

Inspecting the wound, Neji began tearing the bottom of his shirt, ready to wrap the boys wound but he stopped when he noticed that the wound was.

Healing?

Neji watched in complete awe and fascination when he watched the boys skin somehow push back together, stopping the heavy stream of blood from leaking out of the wound. But what was surprising was the red chakra that resembled a small flame on the cut, helping Neji see that it was the cause for the wound to heal.

'I've never met a person who had such a unique ability, what sort of Kekkei Genkai is this? I've never heard of a clan with a kekkei genkai like this before. I can only think of the demo-'

Neji was snapped from his thoughts when he watched the boy cringe, until finally the boy gave off a soft groan. But in that split second the boy had his mouth open, Neji saw that the boy had small fangs, sharp ones at that.

'Arisu told me of demons that had abilities unlike any kekkei genkai man has seen before, what if this boy is,'

Neji quickly pulled out a kunai and slowly placed it against the boy's throat.

'A demon?'

Neji could easily tell the 'demon' was a blonde, but the dry blood that coated the demon's hair made it look fragile yet deadly. And for the demon to have such a large wound on its chest only meant that it was fighting.

Looking at the demon's fingernails, Neji noticed that there was blood underneath each nail.

'It was fighting, and from the blood on it's clothes, it seems like it won, but whoever it fought against didn't go down without a fight'

Neji took in a deep breath, ignoring his heart that began to thump against his chest loudly, and prepared himself to end the monster's life. But with how much he was shaking, it seemed he wouldn't or couldn't find himself to end its life.

'It's just a demon, it's just a demon, it's just a demon'

The simple sentence Neji thought over and over again, helped him calm down. His heart slowed down as well, taking a steady rhythm in his chest.

'Now, end it'

Neji closed his eyes and began to drag the blade across the demon's throat, but suddenly he felt someone grab his wrist, stopping him from ending the demon's life.

Neji quickly opened his eyes and stared in fear at what he saw.

The demons bland and neutral expression it had was long gone and replaced with a vicious snarl, its blood red eyes stared deep into his soul as it growled. Its snarl allowed Neji to see its growing fangs, and when he looked at his wrist he stared in shock when he saw the demon's nails grow as well.

Watching as the demon's nails grew to about half an inch in length, Neji felt his stomach drop when he watched them seem to sharpen, curving just slightly, making it look like a cat's claw.

It felt as if an eternity passed as the demon glared at Neji, and before Neji could react the demon somehow brought its left hand in an uppercut, knocking Neji into the air and onto his back roughly.

Neji felt a small amount of adrenaline rush into his system making him quickly stand up and watch in fear as the demon shakily stood up on its feet.

'Arisu will be coming with Hiashi sama, I have to stall it, or it may head toward the village'

Taking a step forward Neji felt his heart stop when he felt a wave of killing intent washing over him. He couldn't breathe, as much as he tried to, he couldn't. His legs wouldn't move as well as his arms, and before he knew it, Neji couldn't find himself to even blink as he watched the demon take a shaky step toward him.

Each step the demon took made Neji feel his heart speed up, and with it closing in, Neji felt as if his heart was going to explode out of his chest.

'I-I can't m-move'

The demon was closer, its arm stretching out towards Neji's neck, which in turn made Neji have a sudden image pop into his mind. It was him, but the demon stood over him, blood coating its arms.

'I-I don't want to d-die!'

Only an inch away from grabbing Neji's neck, the demon's eyes suddenly fluttered and it collapsed on its chest, a quiet groan coming from its lips which Neji didn't hear.

Neji exhaled loudly and placed his hand on his chest as he fell to his knees, he could breath, he could move his arms and legs, and blink.

"W-what kind of d-demon are you?" Neji said loudly, the fear and shock he laced with his words were loud and clear for anyone to hear, but the only reply he got was a soft growl from the demon, before its eyes shut and its breathing slowed.

Realizing the demon fainted, Neji gripped the kunai tightly and used his left hand to help him raise it into the air.

This was it, his first kill

Neji looked away and gritted his teeth as he gripped the kunai tighter.

"Neji! What's the meaning of this?"

Neji quickly stood up and turned around to find Hiashi and the rest of the shinobi looking at him in either shock or confusion. But Hiashi had an aura of anger surrounding him as he stared at the bloodied boy who laid on his chest, and his nephew kneeling above the boy, kunai ready to strike.

Neji bowed and cleared his throat before he spoke "It's a demon Hiashi sama, I was getting ready to end its life"

Hana stared at Neji in shock and looked at the boy who laid behind him. Looking at the boy closely she gasped and rushed toward the boy, a look of utter shock painted on her face as she pushed the boy onto his back.

Hiashi walked past Neji, and stood beside his kneeling wife and felt his stomach drop.

The boy's hair and whisker marks reminded him of a certain blonde that went missing a long time ago, and with how long it's been, the boy was the exact same age the missing child would be now.

Hiashi watched as Hana carefully used her thumb to pull the boys eyelid down, while her pointer finger pushed the boy's eyelid up. Hiahsi and Hana both could partially tell the boy had blue eyes, which only made their theory stronger to whom this boy could be.

"Naruto kun?"

Neji barely heard the whisper Hana gave as she picked the boy up into her arms, but once seeing what Hana was doing he stood in front of her with a look of fear and shock mixed in his eyes.

"Hana sama! Please, you don't understand, it's a demon, its eyes were-"

Neji's sentence fell short when he noticed Hiashi glaring at him, in a split second Neji bowed his head and listened to Hiashi growl at him as he spoke.

"I only see a boy who's two years younger than you, in need of immediate medical assistance. You will keep your lips sealed until I tell you that you're allowed to speak! Do I make myself clear?"

Neji nodded as he bit the inside of his cheek, listening to the footsteps of Hiashi and Hana disappearing behind him.

"I want you to get Hokage sama to meet us at the hospital, I want you to tell him we may have found the lost child from eight years ago!"

All the Anbu present gave a respectful "Hai" and disappeared in a swirl of leaf's as Hiashi, stepped beside his wife and whispered.

"Come Hana, we need to get him to the hospital as quickly as we can"

Hana nodded in agreement to what her husband said and took off into the trees while he looked over at the small group of Hyuga's, and Jounin.

"We'll take it from, I want you all to return home!"

The Hyuga's present all bowed toward Hiahsi and took off into the trees, with the jounin close behind them.

Hiashi watched Neji closely, noticing the large bruise underneath his chin as he disappeared with the rest of the Hyuga's.

'Where did he get that from?'

At the Hokage Tower

"Jiraiya, you know that sending out so many Anbu and jounin is a safety hazard for the village! It would have been best to send a small group of Anbu, to investigate, while the rest are stationed around the village! If there were enemy shinobi near the village, we need every shinobi available to protect the village!"

The screech that echoed in the room made Jiraiya groan softly, and before he could respond he was rudely interrupted by another yell.

"Why we not told of this so called 'massacre'? If a battle was close enough for a villager to find then the village is in danger! What if we were attacked?"

Jiraiya let out a loud groan and pinched the bridge of his nose as he listened to the angry shouts of his supervisors and the angry questions of the clan heads.

'I can see why Sarutobi sensei looked so depressed after these meetings, this is the worst headache I've ever had'

Jiraiya felt his anger grow as the louder the clan heads got, and he suddenly felt his blood boil as he gritted his teeth. But before he could shout, an Anbu appeared in the room making everyone present calm down and watch the Anbu as he bowed toward their Kage.

"Hokage sama, we've found him! The kyubi container!"

Jiraiya immediately stood up as the rest of the people present in the room remained silent before one of Jiraiya's supervisors yelled out "The Kyubi container!"

The room went into an uproar of whispers and murmurs while others started to question the Anbu, but all fell silent when Jiraiya yelled "Enough!"

Clearing his throat Jiraiya looked at the Anbu member and ushered for him to come closer. Without hesitation the Anbu operative walked up to Jiraiya and began whispering into his hear.

Each passing second that the Anbu operative whispered in the Kages ear would make Jiraiya's eyes widen in size, until finally, Jiraiya sped walked toward the door of the room, ignoring the shouts from the clan heads and supervisors.

"We will continue this meeting later, you are all dismissed!"

At the Hospital

Hana sat quietly beside Hiashi as they watched nurses and doctors rush in and out of a hospital room. They both were quiet, neither knowing what to say or do in the situation they were in.

Finally, after what seemed like hours which was only a few minutes, Hiashi spoke "Do you think its Naruto?"

Hana looked at her husband, and smiled softly as she took his hand into hers "It's Naruto, I know its him, I could never forget those whisker marks of his no matter how long it's been. And he has Minato's hair as well, no one can have such bright sun kissed hair like Minato or Naruto"

Hiashi let a small smile grace his lips when he saw the love and hope burning in her eyes as she spoke of the boy, it made him happy to see that his wife was ok.

"Do you think he was the reason for the 'massacre'?"

Hana frowned at that, but she nodded dejectedly, making Hiashi stare at her in worry when he saw the sad look on her face.

"Yes he was wounded, but the cut was from a weapon of some sort, and if you looked at his fingernails you would see that there was blood underneath them, it's hard to distinguish if the blood on his clothes is his or belongs to another, but with how his hair was, it's obvious it wasn't his"

Hiashi nodded at that, a small feeling of dread lingering in his chest as he thought of it.

"If it was him who caused the so called 'massacre' then the shinobi must have been his captors, in one way or another, he must have found out that the village who captured him was not his home, and escaped. He came to Konoha but they caught up to him and he had to fight, which resulted with his wounds"

Hana listened carefully to what her husband had to say, and hummed, her thoughts on the matter were running rampant in her mind. The endless 'what if' game played in her mind, making her daze off as Hiashi stood up and began asking a nurse that was rushing into the room a few quick questions.

'If Naruto did kill those people, then that means he was trained to kill and fight,'

Hana looked up at the ceiling, as she inhaled quietly and exhaled softly 'Neji looked as if he seen a ghost, its obivous that he was convinced Naruto was a demon, but why would he think that? It doesn't make any sense'

"Hana! Hiashi, is he ok?"

Hana and Hiashi both looked over at Jiraiya who came jogging toward them both, a look of fear and hope burning in his eyes as he noticed the nurses running in and out of the room they both sat in front of.

"Yes Hokage sama, one of the nurses said he will be alright but he's going to need time to rest, he lost a lot of blood but like i said before, he's going to be alright"

Jiraiya nodded at Hiashi muttering 'Thank kami' as he calmed his breathing, but before he could calm down someone in the room screamed, which was followed by something falling to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, Jiraiya rushed into the room with Hiashi and Hana both close behind him, when they all rushed into the room they were shocked to see the boy was wide awake. A look of utter hatred burning in his eyes as he held one of the doctors by their throat, making the doctor kneel on the ground in front of him. The boy stood as straight as a pencil as he glared at everyone around him, his piercing blue eyes struck a cord in everyone's hearts, which in turn made them all shudder when they felt the air around them grow cold as his killing intent washed over them.

"Naruto!"

The boy looked over at Hana and watched as she slowly took steps toward him, as Jiraiya and Hiashi both stood still.

"N-Naruto, there is nothing to be scared of, we're here to help you, now, if you could please." Hana pointed at the doctor the boy was choking "Release the doctor, and sit down on the bed, i promise nothing will happen to you, please trust me"

"Where am i?" The monotone voice that came from the boy was loud and firm, something that made Jiraiya cringe as he watched Hana carefully to step closer to Naruto.

"You're in a hospital, w-we found you in the woods outside of Konoha and brought you here to t-treat your wounds"

Naruto's glare lessened at that, the killing intent he gave off dissipated allowing everyone present to relax, especially Hana.

"Naruto, please trust me when i say that no one will harm you, would you please release the doctor?"

Naruto nodded and released the doctor allowing the man to breath loudly and crawl away from him in fear.

"Thank you Naruto, now please sit down, you should be resting, you lost alot of blood when we found you"

Naruto ignored Hana and walked toward the window of the room and looked outside.

As Naruto turned around to look at Hana the glass suddenly shattered, making everyone jump back and get into defensive positions while the nurses and Doctors ran out of the room.

Hiashi looked over at Naruto and noticed that he had a kunai sticking out of his arm, the anger that burned in his eyes made Hiashi gulp when he watched Naruto yank the Kunai out of his arm and glare at him.

"He was right, you do want me dead"
