NOTE: THIS ALL HAPPENES AFTER THE SOUND FIGHT. SASUKE WAS BROUGHT BACK. RELATIONS BETWEEN THE Hyuga MAIN FAMILY AND THE BRANCH FAMILY ARE BETTER AND ACTUALLY QUITE CLOSE, BUT THE SEAL STILL REMAINS. THE Hyuga ARE STILL TRYING TO CHANGE THE SEAL BUT IT'S NOT EASY. @~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
"Silence!! I'm sure that many of you here are wondering why I called for this clan meeting." Exclaimed Hiashi.
A wave of nods and murmurs passed through the gathered crowd. Hiashi studies this before proceeding.
"Today I am going to make a very important decision regarding the clan. Before I proceed with that particular issue, I have a very important announcement to make. Earlier today someone who we all know very well returned to Konoha. This person's clan was at one time very close with our clan. The person I'm talking about is Ryu Yagami." The moment Hiashi finished his statement cheers and praises erupted from the gathered crowd. Hiashi waited for everyone to calm down before he continued.
"He came to see me when he returned today, he is planning to stay in Konoha permanently and he is going to rebuild the YU clan. And he has asked our hands in friendship once more, and of course I have agreed. Now I would like to know what the elders of the clan think about this arrangement?" asked Hiashi.
The leader of the 12 elders spoke up.
"We are very happy with this. Its is an honor that the YU clan wants to reform the friendship its once had with us. And of course we will do anything to help Ryu-sama to rebuild his clan."
"And what about Uzumaki Naruto?" asked Hiashi.
"Of course we will not allow the demon to join the YU clan. Once Ryu-sama starts rebuilding his clan we will do all in our power to get rid of the demon boy." Replied the elder.
"And who gives you the right to forbid my brother to join his own clan? And who the hell gives you the right to get rid of my brother? Let me tell you this, if any of you so much as looks at Naruto funny, I'll rip out every bone from your body with my bare hands."
Ryu said upon arriving with Naruto for the Hyuga meeting. The amount of killing intent projected from Ryu's words sent a chill down everyone's spine, even Hiashi.
Naruto stared in awe at Ryu as no one has ever spoken up in his defense before. He soon decided that he liked it.
"But you can't have a demon in your clan. What would your parents have said? No we will not allow it." Said one of the elders.
The moment those words left the stupid elders mouth, Ryu was already strangling the elder against the wall. Hiashi motioned to the rest of the Hyuga to not to interfere.
"That demon that you speak of is my brother, and my parents were proud of him. And he is the hero of this village even if no one acknowledges it. And as I said before, who the hell are you to make decisions for my clan or me? I'm giving you one final warning, watch your mouth and your position. Interfere with me or my clan again, and that will be the last day you ever see sunlight." Warned Ryu.
Hiashi and Kaoru just sat there watching the whole scene with a small smirk on their faces before Hiashi spoke up.
"This is one of the reasons I have called this meeting today. All of you know what happened 12 years ago on that fateful night, and most of us wanted to take Naruto in as our own not just as a sign of friendship towards the YU clan but also because we wanted to." Hiashi turned and smiled at a shocked Naruto before continuing.
"While we tried our best, we did not want to go against our elders words as they were one of the reasons we managed to seal the Kyubi that night. But I have regretted that decision every night these 12 years. Naruto should not have gone through all that he has. As Ryu said he is the hero of this village and the people here are too blind like the elders to realize that." All of the Hyuga except the elders agreed to that statement. The elders made to say something but they were silenced by a group of Hyuga jounin who appeared in front of them.
Hiashi continued.
"So today I'm making the decision that I should have made 12 years ago. Today I'm banishing the elders from the Hyuga clan, and I'm going to reform the friendship we once held with the YU clan. And that includes Naruto."
The hall erupted with cheers, as this was the choice everyone wished for since day one. Their happiness was short lived as one of the elders started yelling.
"YOU CAN"T DO THIS!!! You do not have the right! We strip you of your leader status. And we banish you. Guards seize him." Said the leader of the elders while struggling against a jounin. All present there including the Hyuga guards just stared at the elder before Hiashi motioned them to be removed. The jounins and some guards took them to the hokage's office where they were stripped of their status and banished from their village. This was a rare thing to happen but once a clan has spoken against one of their own. The village leader has to comply by removing them from the village, as it's the law. But this can only be done with the consent of the whole clan. And in this case the whole clan did comply. As only senior members and the elders were present in the meeting. The younger Hyuga members and the branch family were in shock to see the elders being escorted forcefully out of the estate. Before everyone could begin to ask question Hiashi summoned everyone including the branch family to the main yard.
Hiashi then proceeded to explain everything that had happened, including what happened 12 years ago. Everyone who did not know what happened 12 years ago were in shock. The women were crying while the men were just rooted to the ground at Naruto's and Ryu life story. Hinata and Neji were speechless and Hanabi had to hold her sister up as she broke down in tears after looking at a very shocked Naruto. Neji however just stared at Naruto waiting for the first chance he got to apologize for all he had done and said to Naruto during the chuunin exam.
Naruto was standing behind his brother warily as some Hyuga members were approaching him. He wanted to step back but Ryu just looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile, so Naruto stood his ground. Soon Naruto was engulfed in an ocean of hugs by almost every Hyuga member. Ryu just smiled at the scene before him, but before he could do anything he and Naruto were both hugged by Kaoru and other Hyuga members.
Hinata and Neji slowly made their way towards Naruto and Ryu, as the crowd slowly started leaving wanting to prepare a huge feast to welcome Naruto and Ryu.
"Na...Naruto kun." Stammered Hinata.
"Naruto" said Neji.
Naruto was slightly shocked to see the both of them approach him. He had totally forgotten that they were both Hyuga members.
"Hinata chan. Neji... so I guess you now know that I'm a murdering demon. I understand of you don't want to see me again. All I ask is that you keep this information to your self by not telling anybody."
"No Naruto kun I do not think of you as a demon. I finally understand why you were treated the way you were. But I think that you're the bravest and most determined person I have ever met. If it was not for you I would still be scared and shy. It's because of you that I have changed. And I never want you to think that I would never want to see you. Yo...you are a precious person to me Naruto-kun." The last words came out almost a whisper but Naruto heard it's clearly. He could not believe what he was hearing.
"I...I'm a precious person to you?" Asked a shocked Naruto.
"Yes" squeaked Hinata.
Before Naruto to ask her anymore question, Neji cleared his throat.
"Naruto, I agree with what Hinata-sama said. I just want to apologize for all I have said and done to you in the past. You saved me from the darkness that engulfed my heart and I would be honored if you would accept me as a friend."
Naruto was lost for words so he did the only thing he could, he just nodded his head. Ryu just watched the whole thing before he introduced himself to Hinata and Neji as Naruto's brother.
Soon a huge feast was going on with everyone laughing and talking away. Naruto never thought he would see the day when a Hyuga would laugh or for that matter actually smile. Kaoru soon shook him out of his thought.
Kaoru explained to him about why they did not take him in before and how both of his parents were close friends with her and her husband. When everything was said and done she game Naruto a hug and made him eat a huge plate of food saying he was too thin for her liking.
After the feast had ended everyone returned to their work and Ryu, Naruto, Hiashi his family and the senior Hyuga members sat down to talk.
"Ryu I understand that you want to rebuild your clan. I hope you don't mind me asking this but how do you plan to do this. You 2 and Liana are the only members why are left in your clan."
"No Hiashi-sama I do not mind you asking. Yes I understand that the 3 of us are the only original members left in our clan, but there are others who want to join our clan. Although they are not of pure Uzumaki or Yagami blood I still welcome them with open arms." "I understand. But the YU clan was the strongest clan in Konoha. How can your rebuild it with outsiders. They do not have your bloodline ability and I doubt that they can match a true YU clan member."
Yes I understand your concern. But you see all those you want to join my clan are powerful shinobi's. They are outcasts, retired or missing Nins fro their original village. I have already discussed it with hokage-sama and she has agreed to talk to their original villages to pardon them and grant them Konoha citizenship. As for the bloodline ability, do not worry. After we have settled down I will use Naruto, myself and liana's blood to pass on our ability to them. I know it's not advisable, but I trust them with my life."
(I guessing that the bloodline-passing thing can be done as hunter Nins am dispatched to find and remove abilities from missing Nins. Even the Hyuga have the seal so that their abilities cannot be stolen when they die)
"I see, well if you are sure then we will do everything we can to help you. When are these people coming to Konoha, and how many of them are there?" asked Hiashi
"They will arrive tomorrow and there are a total of 140 of them including women and children." Answered Ryu.
"Very well. Tonight you 3 can spend the night here. Tomorrow we will begin the resurrection of the YU clan." With that everyone turned in for the night.
