Second chapter and I am still writing ( mental high five with myself )

I read in a few sources that the curse seal gets implanted when the heir reaches the age of 3.

this will NOT be the case here. Reason? It is plane stupid! Just imagine the heir dies before he leaves descendants behind. Normally the second born would become heir but fuck no he already has the curse seal.( and as far as I am informed they don't have a way to lift it ) Ma bad luck. So in this story the curse seal will be placed shortly before or during the clan head ceremony ( is there a special word fur this anywhere out there? Clan head election ceremony?) And I take the liberty to name certain characters like Hiashis parents for example. I couldn't find their names anywhere so here you go. If they have actual names and I was just too dumb to find them just say a word and I change them.

2 First steps

Thank God in heavens and the almighty voice which send me into this new life I don't remember my birth! My best explanation would be that the brain of a newborn child is simply not developed enough to support the thinking process of an adult. I am sure I was somewhere there but lucky me I don't remember so I don't care.

I've got a name now and it's Kazuki, and as far as one can tell with this undeveloped body of mine I've got the typical Hyuga looks but with yet black hair. Don't know where I've got that from trough. As far as I can see all my close relatives have brown hair. At least my face is similar enough to my fathers to avoid questions regarding my moms private life.

And yes I call her mom. I don't know if it is subconscious thing all children have or simply because how dependent on her I was until my mind slowly surfaced but I love her as much as humanly possible. Maybe a little bit more.

I began actually making decisions shortly after my first birthday but that doesn't mean I could start training. That fact hit me when I tried learning the written language in the library of the main house.

I got there, opened a scroll, looked at the symbols and I swear to Jashin I don't know how it happened, the next second I was following a butterfly in our inner courtyard. I mean How?

I thought I could start learning and leave the others in the dust. But no, somehow I have the attention span of a fly. Seriously, there was this one time I got distracted because NOTHING happened.

That doesn't mean that I made no progress at all trough, it was just way slower than expected.

In the third month of my second year in my second life I became a big brother of two cute little twins. Hizashi and his nearly identical older twin, the future clan head Hiashi. Looking into their pale white eyes and imagining the men they will become was simply surreal. Especially while little Hizashi was nibbling on my thumb.

It actually took a while for me to realize how royally fucked I already am. I am older, that means as long as I survive and don't bring shame to the Hyuga name, I am the heir! Fuck! I mean what will happen to Hiashi? He will, without a doubt, become part of the branch family! Will he still marry the same women? Will Hinata and Hanabi even exist ? Have I killed the MCs waifu ? Shit dark thoughts.

I got over it, obviously. I mean its not like they are actually important for the story development and little ball of sunshine will sure as hell find someone else. If not, I am dead set on helping him from the shadows in this regard.

And like that my second year in life went by and today is my second Birthday. I can now speak almost fluently and understand the basics of reading and writing. My little adorable twin brothers are stumbling their way through the compound, always under the attentive glaze of their caretaker,

and I was never as excited as in this very moment.

I am currently sitting in lotus position in the middle of our main training yard, my father behind me with his hands on my back. Tomorrow will start my first day of actual training therefore I will now try to unlock my chakra.

The elders, all wearing traditional Haorihakama styled cloths, are standing on the sideline while their strict gazes practically scream `get this on your first try or you are dead for us`. I nearly stop breathing from anxiety until I notice my moms warm, reassuring smile. She is standing just a few steps away from them together with the twins.

Breathe in, breath out. I got this. I mean I've got the [ energy moulder ] ability. This should be easy for me right?

"Kazuki, close your eyes and focus inside of your body. I will now start circulating my chakra trough your system. Remember this feeling, and try to feel it inside yourself." my father commands.

"Yes, Akiyoshi-sama."

Another proof that my family is fucked up is that I really have to call him like that. I mean he is my father and it is either `Akiyoshi-sama` or `lord Hyuga ` but let's concentrate again.

First I feel nothing but then slowly but surely I notice something. Heat radiating from my abdomen, my fathers chakra circulating through my system. I try to match his movements with my own, pushing my heat, no my chakra, along the same paths. I is tenacious at first, refusing to move the way I want. Strenuous task, but to my delight I at least feel like I'm making progress.

I don't know how much time passed but it gets easier and easier to move my chakra around. Like a slowly awakening animal. My father stopped supplying his chakra a while ago but mine is still there, circulating like I want it to. And then euphoria hits me like a wave.

I have chakra and I am controlling it! That's the most awesome moment ever.

"Good" my father stated with a barley noticeable tint of pride in his voice. " took you around 15 minutes, that's acceptable. Now try directing your chakra towards your eyes to activate the pride of our clan"

I tried exactly that and after a few moments my chakra obeyed and I began to feel a tickle in my eyes. And then the whole word changed.

I can see through the walls around the training ground, through the houses behind and even a good distance outside the compound and that in every direction with breathtaking clarity! And my fuckin eyes are still closed! The sheer mass of information forcing its way into my brain make me feel nauseous.

It seems my face betrayed me and I hear my father shouting.

"Focus! One direction and one distance. Ignore everything else for now. Using our gift properly to its fullest potential requires time and training."

I open my eyes, not that it would make a difference, and concentrate myself on my room in the main house and try to ignore everything else. Ok focus! I see through the walls into my room. I see my bed, trough my bed, my caretaker, a 9 years old branch family member with the name Jomei who is currently cleaning, and his blue gleaming chakra network.

Still way too much details but at least it is bearable. I try looking into the other rooms. Strangely enough it seems impossible to look int my fathers office and the main bedroom. I have to ask about that later. The sheer flexibility of my eyes is still amazing. It feels like I can zoom in and out everywhere around me.

Somehow I begin to feel week like if I hadn't eaten for days. My Byakugan deactivates itself and the last thing I remember before I black out is my brothers screaming my name.

Akiyoshi POV

That's simply amazing. I expected my oldest son to unlock his chakra on his first day but 15 minutes is something one sees rarely. And on top of that he activated the Byakugan on his first try. Our superior bloodline and talent shows itself once again. I cant wait to tell the old Uchia geezer about it. That bastard didn't stop boasting for two weeks straight after his brat Fugaku unlocked his chackra after half an hour.

Good thing I invited them for the party this evening. His face will be priceless.

"Lord Hyuga, with your permission I would like to bring our son into his quarters." my wife states

"Don't concern yourself so much Youko, its just a mild case of chakra exhaustion. Let the servants take care of it. But make sure he is presentable and knows his role for the party this evening."

"Of course ."

A frown makes his way into my face. She has changed since the twins birth. She is way too soft towards the kids. I wouldn't care if we had girls but to treat the future clan head like that is concerning.

I make my way to the main house followed by the elders. Once we reached my office one of them begins to speak:" Your sons talent seems extraordinary but, like you surely know, a bad cared for talent is just as bad as no talent at all. I advise to up his planned schedule and apply for early entry into the academy. We need to show the other clans how a true Hyuga genius looks like. They seem to forget their place. Especially the Sarutobi became recalcitrant since one of their own became Kage."

"I agree." another adds " We need him to show results if we want to stabilize our standing in the village. Will lord Hokage visit little Kazukis party this evening?"

"Yes he will. We received a positive reply two days ago." I state to them " He will be accompanied by his wife and his genin team." Through I still don't understand how a Kage can lead a team.

" Good. I heard his team is quite talented. Lord firsts granddaughter and that little genius, Orochimaru was his name I think. But.." the elderly women made a short pause " will this untalented orphan be coming too? I don't quite think someone like him will know how to behave on such a gathering?"

"We will see." I state " It is important that lord Hokage takes notice of Kazuki. If he wishes to be accompanied by an uncivilized civilian we should grant it."

The meeting continued on in this manner for quite a while until we excused ourselves to prepare for the evening.

I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of my room. " What the hell was that?" I mumbled while slowly wiggling myself out of my blanket. What I learned in this two years is that I am quite active while asleep. So it is relatively normal to wake up in the strangest positions. The daring question on the other hand is why am I in my bead. The last thing I remember is playing around with my Dojutsu.

My thoughts got interrupted by soft knocks on the slide door of my room.

"Kazuki-sama, lady Hyuga requests your presence in the Tee room once you are awake. I am instructed to assist you if needed." my caretaker Jomei states nearly emotionless. I still don't get that guy. I mean sure, he is a great help but his way of speaking reminds me of future Danzos mindless puppets. Somehow creepy.

"No need to worry Jo-san I can walk on my own. Tell my mom I will come as fast as possible."

"Understood Kazuki-sama. If you need anything else just call for me."

You see? Way too stiff. But its not like it is his fault. I don't even want to know what my father or the elders would do with the poor boy if they would overhear him talking casually to me.

The stick is deep in the rectum of the Hyuga. At least my mom is cool and the twins are so cute I could eat them. Really.

I take new garments out of my simple wardrobe and dress myself. I didn't even notice how much I sweat during my chakra unlocking session. The Hyuga compound looks still simply amazing to my eyes. Traditional Japanese housing surrounded by harmonic gardens and everything in warm wooden colors. Sure you don't find much luxuries outside of the quite generous main hall, where we celebrate together or with honored guests from outside, but there is definitely beauty in simple things.

I make my way trough the hallway, past the living quarters and our private Dojo, towards our little tee room. It is basically our living room with a large tea table in the middle but without a couch.

The floor is covered with comfortable bamboo mats and you can see cherry trees through the window. Needlessly to say it's my moms favorite place ind we often sit there together while mom reeds for us.

I open the slide door get welcomed by a beaming smile from my mom.

" Hey sweety. I am proud of you"

" Thanks mom" I mumble while heat flushes my cheeks " What happened anyway? I cant remember much after using Byakugan."

" Nothing much. You just got a mild chakra exhaustion after using it for too long. Don't be ashamed it is already really amazing that you were able to use it at all." she says still with pride but also a little bit of concern in her voice. " But that's not why I called you. We need you to be ready for the party. You slept for three hours so our schedule is a little bit tight. We need to wash you, make your hair and teach you about the most important guests. You have to be at your best behavior!"

" Huu Is that really necessary?"I groan

" Yes sweety it is." my mom smiles. Now somehow even a tad bit more happy than before. "Now follow me we have much to do and not much time." and she leaves the room with fast steps. Me behind her. Not so fast steps.

...Timeskip Evening …

I am seated beside my father on a little pedestal at the far end of the great hall. And I swear I feel like a prized bull somehow and I am not really happy with this arrangement. But like mom said, a smile is your best weapon. So I've spend the last two hours or something ( it felt longer than that but the clock said otherwise ) with politely bowing my head and smiling while receiving gifts. Most guests have already arrived. The only one I've recognized so far is Fugaku who greeted me together with his father, the current Uchia clan head. He is apparently two years older than me and their present was actually cool. A little really old looking rabbit statue that Fugakus dad found in an old ruin around Kiri during the last war.

The ninja guests consisting of old war veterans and clan heads mostly gift me books or scrolls containing useful knowledge like " what is eatable in the land of lightning " or "1000 ways to identify poison ". The Nara clan head gifted me a shogi board ( seriously has this clan no other ways to pass time ) and the nobles and merchants mostly gifted me money. For a second I thought that nothing interesting will happen anymore when door slams open and nearly everyone present turned their heads. In the resulting silence I had enough time to look at our newest guest and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

There he stood, the most legendary man ( pervert ) in the whole narutoverse. The one and only Jiraiya in his whole glory was currently becoming smaller and smaller under the angry gazes of the other guests until Tsunade bonked his head and dragged him towards Orochimaru who had a bored look on his face.

They entered the hall in silence behind Hiruzen but during this whole ordeal his big smile never left Jiraiyas face.

" Good evening lord Hyuga and thank you for inviting us to this joyous gathering and happy birthday Kazuki. It is always good to see our villages future." Hiruzen bowed his head lightly just like my father and me.

" It is always an honor to have you as our guest lord Hokage. I hope you will enjoy this little gathering. If you have time I would like to have a word with you later." my father said

The rest of the party was sadly just as boring as the beginning. I made small talk with boring lords and ladies and got invitations from a few merchants. The future sannin mostly talked with the present clan kids their age. And after more food that anyone should or could eat I excused myself at around 10 o'clock to leave the adults alone with their whine.

Back in my room I finally slipped out of my formal clothes and took a deep breath. What a day and tomorrow with the begin of my training my life is bound to change once again.

I rolled the little rabbit statue in my hands while thinking what is about to come when suddenly..

" Shit. " the statue slipped out of my hands and broke into shambles. After looking at the broken pieces for a while.

" At least now I know that the things don't fall from the sky."

There between the rabbits residue lies a glass bottle and on the label I read

[Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki DNA sample ( spinal cord ) No. 31.23.20]
