Later that day, Jusa was preparing for her date with Guy. Neve was shy.
"Aunt Jusa, what if his student doesn't like me. No one else does." Neve said. Jusa looked at her niece. A carbon copy of her father with light blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her fair skin completed the look. She, like Jusa, was slender yet showing growth in obvious areas. Jusa always hated the fact her chest was D sized. It made teaching boys a little harder especially when they were taught women are sex objects. Luckily, Velos did not support such behavior neither did her Academy students. Adding a shinobi class to the Academy would benefit many children. She had met with Iruka Umino and was pleased at his dedication to teaching. He would fit in perfectly with the other instructors. Her only concern was the purple haired woman who accompanied him. Her eyes said back off he's mine. Jusa asked Iruka who she was and he had introduced her as Anko Mitashi, a fellow shinobi. Jusa noted the name.
"Aunt? Its almost time. Are you sure that my clothes are proper? I don't wany him to think that I am not friendly." Neve said. Jusa smiled.
"Neve, what is our family motto?"
"All things can be seen though the power of knowledge." Neve said softly. Jysa looked at her.
"The power of knowledge. So little faith in learning?"
"THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE BURNS WITHIN US ALL!" Neve shouted smiling. Jusa smiled as a knock sounded on her door. Jusa openedvthe door to reveal Guy and Rock Lee standing there. Each had a bouquet of flowers for their date. Neve walked out from behind Jusa. Lee's eyes fell in her. Before either adult could say anything, Lee was on his knees with hearts in his eyes.
"I DO NOT KNOW YOUR NAME, BEAUTY, BUT YOUR YOUTHFULNESS IS SHINING BRIGHTLY. YOSH, I WILL MAKE THIS EVENING ONE FOR YOU TO REMEMBER. I AM HUMBLED THAT YOU WOULD GO OUT WITH ME ON A YOUTHFUL NIGHT SUCH AS THIS!" Lee exclaimed, making Neve blush. She took the flowers. They were her favorite daisies. She smiled.
"My name Neve Savati. What is yours?" She asked. Lee smiled.
"Rock Lee." He said a little quietly. Guy stepped in.
"Lee, I think its time we go to dinner. There we can show our dates how youthful lifeccan be." Guy said. Lee nodded. Tonight is going to be wonderful, Jusa thought. She allowed Guy to lock her door for her and then arm in arm, the two duos left for an interesting evening.
Across Velos, in the shinobi compound, the clans had gathered for a final decision on staying in Velos. Tsunade was hoping for a full vote of yes. She began to speak.
"As you are all aware, we can make a new life for ourselves and our children here in Velos. With the Sandaime being here, I think it wise to stay. We can nuture our young into fine warriors. If any clan or persons wishes to leave, speak up. Soo yea we stay, nay we go. Hiashi, you first." Tsunade said looking at the Hyuuga vlan head. Hiashi's pale eyes showed nothing.
"Lady Tsunade, it is my wish that my children and clan members with me grow to their full potenial. I vote for staying. This can be a jome to us Hyuugas without the dreaded Caged Bird Seal that has drove my clan apart due to misuse." Hiashi said. Shinci Abruame spoke.
"I agree with Hiashi. We can truly teach our children the will of fire. Our colonies felt a change in Konoha." He said. Tsunade nodded.
"I, too, vote for staying. There are many oppunities here." Inochi said. Shikaku looked up.
"It would be to troublesome to relocate where we have not been invited. We stay." Shikaku said. Choza nodded.
"I agree with my teammates. The Achikimi stays." The large man said. Tsunade knew the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would agree to this. Tsune Inuzuka looked thoughtful.
"We stay with the pack. Sadly, most of my clan stayed behind. We stay. Lady Tsunade, who speaks for the civilians?" Tsume asked. Momo Harauno stepped forward.
"All civilians have agreed to stay. Many are already looking at businesses and schools for their children." Momo spoke softly. Tsunade smiled.
"Well, since we are staying in Velos, we will need a new symbol for our shinobis. I will inform the Consulate tomorrow of our decision. Good night." Tsunade said ending the meeting. All persons began to file out and tell the news to their families. Hiashi stopped and turned to Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, do you think that we can find a way to remove the seal from my clansmen?" Hiashi asked. Tsunade looked thoughtful.
"I'll see if Rania knows someone who can help. I am going to the Consulate tomorrow." Tsunade replied. Hiashi nodded and left. Hiashi walked diwn the corridor to the area in which his family occupied. Opening a door, he found Neji sitting in a chair with Hinata. Neji was still weak and unable to practice but this give him time get closer to his sisters/cousins. Hinata was playing shogi with him to help pass the time. Neji noticed Hiashi first.
"Lord Hiashi, welcome. I hope the meeting went well." Neji greeted formally. Hiashi blanched but answered Neji's statement.
"The clans voted for staying here and becoming a part of Velos.I have spoken with Lady Tsunade about finding a,way to remove the Caged Bird Seal. Hopefully, we can once again be a family." Hiashi said. He then began to address the gathered members.
"As of today, I hereby banish the use of the Caged Bird Seal. From this day onward, we will but true Hyuugas. There will no longer be a branch and a main family, but one family. Like the mighty oak, we will stand stronger as one, as Velosian shinobis" Hiashi said. The branch members were weeping and the few main members were clapping. In the office that Tsunade held her meeting, she and Jirayia were smiling. Tomorrow a new shinobi would rise from the ashes, a Velosian shinobi.
