- Neji POV-

I'm sitting on an armchairs of the consulting-room of the masked Brigades, in this warm July. I'm waiting impatiently to the verdict of the doctor who examines Hinata.

Tsunade is hilarious: "Hinata, Congratulation, you succeeded in waiting 287 days before become pregnant again!"

Hinata seems wrongfully sorry then she launches me a great smile. Our third child is on the way!

Neji: "We must moves, my darling."

- Shinu POV-

The night is dark and cold, I can see the Ninjas of Konoha gathering around our ex-den. But my partner and I, we are not here already. We look at the scene at some distance, with our eyes protected by a thick black filter. The hundreds of explosive parchments placed in our den activate exactly all at the same time. It is true precision. A ball of light illuminates the whole night, at kilometers around. The extreme breath makes fly our coats and snow. How splendid! Then all calms down and dies out, only the red gleams of the fire lightens the scene. Such an amount of beauty!

Hey, It seems that Hyuga-san survived to the explosion. It's better, his pain will be only wider. Without needing to even exchange a sign, my partner and I leave each one on our side. Each one towards his objective. Mine is the Fox.

- Neji POV-

The attack conducted against Akatsuki was a complete failure. The half of the attack team died, the others are seriously wounded. My squad was sent urgently to give assistance to them. Among the casualties that we lead towards Konoha in urgency, I recognize my uncle. But he doesn't recognize me. His eyes are burned, completely burned. He is blind now. It's atrocious, absolutely atrocious. What remains to him now? His elder daughter who disavows him, his junior daughter who is paralysed, his eyes destroyed... I have almost pity for him, despite everything he did, he didn't deserve that. Why the fate baits on Hyuga?

I pass to the manor to transmit the news. I didn't come here for a long time. Silence reigns in the corridors, much of Hyuga members have perished these last years and those who remain are worn, undermined by the pain. The Hyuga clan is very weakened.

I look at his decline with sadness. Formerly, it was my family and my pride. It's always my family, and their misfortune causes me sorrow. I can't cut the blood ties thus. But since I'm with Hinata, I cut the bonds of the clan, these heavy chains which blocked me, these blinkers which confined me.

It's a laughable, but while wanting to help Hinata, it's me whom I freed... or rather, it's her who free me. She had freed herself alone, in the pain.

I announce the sad news to my Grandmother and I see the tears running in her eyes, it's the first time. She is so old now. The former chief of clan ,whom I feared when I was a child, became so small... no, I grew, it's all. I discover now her deep wrinkles, her hands trembling because of age, his arched body, crushed by the heavy burden of our clan. And the sadness in her glance, she lost such an amount of her family.

I try to comfort her, but I don't know what to say.

Grandmother: " Our lineage will die... "

Neji: "Grandmother... there is still me, and Hinata, even if she doesn't bear anymore the same name, she is nevertheless of our blood. She will surely have children. And me too."

Grandmother: "would I live still long enough to see my grand-grandchildren born? You are already old, Neji, and you don't have any yet, why?"

I do have a child, Grandmother, I have one. And Hinata soon will have her third. But in spite of your sorrow, I can't reveal to you their existence, I fear too much for them. I love them so much.

Neji: "Grandmother, I don't want that my children suffer like me, Hinata... and even Hanabi suffered because we were Hyuga."

She looks at me without understanding. I don't know if she will be able to understand one day.

- Shinu POV-

About the Hyuga clan, there are now a few still alive. I heard that in Iwa, they succeeded in producing their own Byakugan, thanks to what they had stolen to Hanabi. This news must arrives to their ear, This new will absolutely despair them. What a delight!

I progress well in my other mission, but some indices let me think that I must hurry. There are some people who's asking too much question.

- Naruto POV-

Times are hard for Hyuga. Fortunately, my partner Hinata isn't a Hyuga anymore. Only Neji is left harmless.

Nevertheless, something's odd with Hinata... what I want to say is... she awaits a baby. Sakura explained me that when a woman has a so large belly, it means she's pregnant. I didn't know that a belly can be so huge!

To make a child, a dad and a mom is needed. I know it. And hmm, well... to tell the truth, it seems that I'm perhaps the dad. But it's not sure. What must I do? I don't know what to do with a child!

Hinata will explain me, after the birth of the baby.

She's very courageous, Hinata. She is always in my team, she says that with all these problems in Hyuga clan, she must continue to work and help the village, even in her pregnancy. Fortunately, because I'm not very healthy in this moment either. I have more and more difficulty to use the chakra of the Kyubi. It semms that Kyubi is disappearing.

Everyone thinks that it's good, Hinata too. She says that Kyubi won't be able to kill me, to free himself and attack the Village. She's right, surely, she always has good ideas.

I msu just be accustomed to use less chakra, and to count more on my own force, like the other Ninjas. I will become a Ninja like the others.

Nobody will have reasons to hate me anymore.
