HEHE! Yet another chapter on the loose. This one clarifies a lot of things!
"Dad? Dad! I... What... What is going on here?" Neji was stuttering, as he couldn't believe what he had just seen.
"K-Kimiko? W-What is going on here?" Hinata asked, her eyes filling up with tears.
"It seems like we have a bit of a problem here" Sakura said.
"Yeah! What's this all about anyway?" Naruto asked, looking at the five pairs of identical Byakuugan eyes.
"Hn!" 'evil-Kimiko' scoffed. She was surely enough Neji's daughter. "I wouldn't expect such a mediocre ninja like YOU to understand the complexity of such actions, like time-traveling."
"W-What is this? W-What are you talking about? K-Kimiko, please, explain." Hinata said on a trembling voice.
"She is not me, I am not her! She is my twin sister, Junko! I-I am the heiress... I was born half an hour before her and..."
"And so she got her name... She is the 'princess' whereas I am just the 'obedient girl'! Funny, 'daddy', how you didn't put the cursed jutsu on me, though!"
"I couldn't... I wouldn't... My own child... My own father... I can't do this... Hinata, we have to let them go."
"I don't think that this is such a good idea", Sasuke chopped in.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! How can YOU, of all people tell ME not to let my father go? How can you? How DARE you?", Neji yelled, looking at Sasuke furiously, while activating his Byakuugan.
"I now know that Itachi had his reasons in killing my clan and I no longer blame him. In fact, I am sorry that he didn't tell me before. Just... Don't make the same mistake as I did.", Sasuke sighed.
"N-Neji-kun, please... L-Let them say what they got to say... A-And, please, untie Junko. S-She is fragile... A-And untie uncle Hizashi too. T-They don't deserve this...", Hinata said sobbing.
"Guys, I think it is better not to untie them, or else Junko could use the Cursed Seal Jutsu on Neji.", Shino stated firmly.
"You bet I would, bug-boy!"
"Kimiko, perhaps you can explain what it that is happening here is." Kiba looked at the little girl.
"Uhm... Uhm... Well... It all started two years ago... It was the anniversary of grandpa Hizashi's death and daddy was very sad. Junko and I wanted him to smile, so we thought of a way of preventing his death. We studied hard for a whole year and we managed to create this Time Jutsu. Then, we went back to the night where the elders took their decision in eliminating grandpa Hizashi. We convinced not to do this, because daddy would suffer and would grow cold towards mommy, and that he would beat her to the pulp during the Chunnin exam. So he hid and he remained hidden, giving us advices. But little did I know, grandpa Hiashi loved Junko more, maybe because she reminded him so much of his own self, that he decided to help her become heiress. I wouldn't normally care. I am too weak to be heiress anyway, but daddy and mommy disagreed, so they made this... This... Horrible plan to destroy every chance for me to live and become heiress... I would have given Junko my title in the moment I would have received it."
Kimiko said all this in one breath and all of the people were amazed.
"Even so, Kimiko, why didn't you tell us all this before?" Neji asked furiously.
"Because... Because I knew that... That if it were for you to choose between mommy and grandpa Hizahi, you would have chosen grandpa."
"So, what are you planning to do now with them?" Ino asked "Surely, you don't want to punish you father and you daughter, Neji."
"Of course not!"
"I only did this because I love you, son! I wanted to make justice for the Cadet Branch! We don't deserve to be caged birds anymore!" Hizashi responded on a low voice.
"Well, as far as I can tell, Junko is already 8 years-old and she still doesn't have the Cursed Seal Mark on her forehead." Shikamaru observed "That means the Hyuuga laws have been changed."
"Indeed they were. But... All these years of humiliation, all this nonsense... I had to do something about it!"
"He didn't mean to do anything at first. But then, that cursed 'meeting of the heirs' came and it all was... Curse!" Junko added, almost crying of humiliation.
"W-What should we do now, Neji-kun?" Hinata asked, her watery eyes looking at the man she loved.
"There is only one thing to do. We'll wait until the girls are born, and then I will take my father and Junko and get out of here."
"B-But, Neji-kun..."
"THAT IS FINAL!"
