I don't own any of the Naruto characters or the Power of Youth…

Yosh! The Power of the Hyuuga Youth!

A shocked Neiji learns that Rock Lee and Maito Gai have brainwashed his only son. Let the blood bath begin.

Chapter 2: The Great Escape

Neji had found to his chagrin that Lee was inconviently absent from the village and would not be back for another day. So he did the next best thing.

He hunted down Maito Gai.

Well, to be technically accurate, Gai found him first.

"Yosh! If it isn't the Hyuuga patriarch himself. I've heard about your son's magnificient transformation into one of the Glorious Green Beasts of Konoha and I've come to witness the masterpiece that the youth of your loins has become!"

Neji's right eye twitched.

Then, for a good measure, it twitched again.

"That is what I wish to speak of," Neji said calmly. (Too calmly.)

"Where is the Wellspring of Hyuuga Youth?" Gai asked cheerfully.

Twitch.

"I ordered him to burn his current clothing and to wear the traditional Hyuuga garments."

Pause.

"Gah! The horror!" Gai yelled. "You musn't do that! My beloved former apprentice will return tomorrow! He must bear witness to your son's true image!"

Neji froze. True image? No! He would forbid it! He'd rather have him act like…no…he'd take this over his son acting like Jiraiya. (But that's the only exception!) Neji opened his mouth, intending to lecture his sensei on the errors of his ways.

"….."

Scratch that, the whole village had been trying to do that for years.

"He's Hyuuga," Neji said flatly. "He must act and dress as one." (He is superior! We are superior! We are the Hyuuga!)

That was when Neji suddenly realized that Gai had vanished. Damn him to the five pits of Hell!

This could only mean one thing. Maito Gai had gone to "rescue" his son from his father's "evil" clutches and to further brainwash him in the ways of Konoha's most psychotic residents. (Well, second most. The Honorable Hokage was generally considered to be the number one insane resident, followed closely by Kakashi and Jiraiya.)

Neji's eye did a double twitch.

Seconds later, he was back within the Hyuuga compound. The Hyuuga prodigy's head seemed on the verge of exploding.

1. His fourteen year old daughter and Kiba's brat were making out.
2. His son's Hyuuga robes lay in a discarded heap.
3. His son (and Maito Gai) had managed to temporarily escape his wrath.

Sometimes, as Neji suddenly remembered, certain creatures of the animal kingdom sometimes found it necessary to eat their young.
