Chapter 4: More News than I Can Handle

Hyuuga Neji has never been more humiliated than at 7:51 A.M.

He has never sat in a police stationeverin his life, well, not counting the Konoha Police Headquarters. This was an experience that he was sure to remember. The sole reason he had given was that he looked rich so they decided to rob him. This reason obviously didn't seem good enough for them to accept, and they had him now in the interrogation room.

Coming in the door was a man no more than fifty, and looked to be around forty. Even with his unshaved beard, he looked more intimidated than the to-be-interrogated. Neji had crossed his arm and leaned back, trying not to let the dimmed lighting bothered him. Neji used his gaze to scrutinize the older man's every movement, purposely to unnerve him. They weren't really going to do anything to him, that Neji knew. What actually bothered him was that he was covering up for those girls. He had a feeling he knew exactly which group they were from, the Tamura group. There were six famous and infamous clans which commanded attention not only in the underground world, but also in the financial realm. Two of the clans already belonged to Konoha, and the Tamura clan was one of neutrality, supposedly.

The Tamura clan was suggested to be the strongest, as all organizations have, to some degree, relied on the Tamura clan as their provider of weapons. Yes, the Tamuras specialize in arms trafficking, although they secretly manufactured their own weapons. The clan had an unbelievable amount of power even in the Council of Regulations, provided that they would not side with one organization or the other.

Seeing that the girls had the guts to point a gun at him, or even tried to break their pact of neutrality led him to the conclusion that they are from the main family. He has never met any women from the Tamura clan, but he had no doubt that it was only a matter of time before they met again.

Turning back to the other person at hand, Neji's eyes followed the man as he settled down, and the said poor man was trying to avoid eye contact by studying the table like it was the most interesting thing in the world. Neji was slightly entertained at the situation as he noted that they obviously didn't send him a trained interrogator. Shifting his attention back to the presence before him, he decided to break the silence.

"Speak, what do you need." It was not a question, but a demand rather.

The older man locked eye contact with Neji, and he tried his hardest not to break it before he spoke, "We only need an oral record of what actually happened. Try your best to remember all that your attackers had said." In reality, he was given the orders to squeeze as much information as possible from Neji. But how could he when the said man had a face more impassive than his own, and he was not even from the interrogation department. It was only that there was an unusual amount of interrogating that needed to be done in the actual department, and he became a substitute.

"This device here will hereby record everything that you are to say," and trying to tap into Neji's conscience, he brought out a bible from one of the drawers before he said, "Swear that you would say nothing but the truth."

Neji, without even batting an eyelash, stood to take his oath, "I s-" but was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

'Great timing.'

Glancing at his cell phone, he could see that it was from none other than 'Naruto'.

Keeping Sasuke's message in mind, he decided to speak first, "Naruto, congratulations. I am hereby…. I am actually not in a position to help you right now. Sasuke went mountain climbing if that is what you are wondering about. Good luck."

It remained true that he was not in a situation to help him, but he was also taking Sakura's warning into mind. He was not afraid of Sakura, but in some way or other they were considered friends. Turning back to the situation at hand, he took the moment to sit himself down, before saying, "I am a very busy man, as you can see, we ought to do this quickly."

With that said, it did proceed quickly as Neji tried to give as much twisted truth as much as possible. The only thing on his mind, however, was trying to deal with his uncle.

9:36 A.M. AT HYUUGA CORP.

News has already spread far and wide, reaching every corner of the building to make sure no one is left out. Although on surface everyone was seemingly doing their work, on the screen in front of them was none other than their minimize-able chat messengers. Almost every line posted or sent has to do with one man and his situation:HYUUGA NEJI IS AT THE POLICE STATION!

There were exaggerated messages that were completely blown out of proportion, but there were mostly messages defending him. It was actually an all-out war between different buildings, with Hyuuga employees defending and outsiders attacking Hyuuga Neji. Most were so engrossed in the latest scandal that when their department chief came in it literally made their heart jumped.

"HYUUGA NEJI IS ARRIVING IN 5 MINUTES!"

At the news of this, women once again filed to the restrooms available on particular floors to occupy a space; the men pooling in money before assembling at their usual positions. On the first floor, employees once again took their position and took time to straighten themselves before the doormen turned around to signal the approaching cars in the distance. Their postures took a 180 as they became completely rigid, men taking their military stance while the women adopted their womanly demeanor, with their hands clasped perfectly in front of their abdomen.

Through the pure glass panels, if they had looked, they would see a black limousine smoothly coming to a stop before the other black limo followed sans green sports car following it. The doorman was utterly confused as to which limo Hyuuga Neji was in, but a man coming out from the passenger seat of the second car waved to dismiss him of his duty. After the man got out, he turned around to hold the door in place while the feet of the person that they were all waiting for emerged first. The extra shiny black leather shoes were a telltale sign of who it was that was coming out. Shoes meeting the floor, Neji emerged tall and elegant. As usual, he was sporting an all-black suit, with the exception of a white dress shirt inside. It looked like something out of the movies as he walked with the wind caressing his hair, sunglasses blocking his face. More importantly, he took confident and heavy steps that dictate his position, while not having a trace of his own emotions about the incident that was probably on everyone's mind right now.

It was a scene of awe especially when he goes through the revolving door, without ever having to push the doors himself. He was able to maneuver perfectly and was in sync when two bodyguards pushed and he just moved along, not lifting a single finger. Men at this time were preoccupied with the results of their bets while the women tried to hold a lasting glimpse of their boss. While his bodyguard pressed for the elevator, Neji noticed his cell phone ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, it was from Konoha's intelligence department. Wondering if it was about his stay at the police station, he picked it up with a tone of annoyance.

"What."

"At approximately eight A.M., Uchiha Sasuke had used Konoha's S.O.S. call."
