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 4: A Rival for Hizashi
It appeared that it was going to be one of those days in Konoha. (And Rock Lee hasn't even returned yet.)
1. Kakashi's twenty-two year old daughter and Asuma's twenty-five year old daughter tried to kill the aging Ero-Sennin for some new, unspecified perverted offense.
2. Kakashi and Asuma chased down the Ero-Sennin once they heard of the said offense to their offspring.
3. The Honorably Retired Godaime threw the Honorable Rokudaime out of a window for some unexplained reason. (Which will probably never be explained because a Hokage does not like to reveal potentially embarrassing information.)
4. Maito Gai and Hyuuga Hizashi have temporarily taken refuge in some as of yet unknown destination. (Much to the outrage of two parents.)
Neji was starting to get a very bad migraine, due in part to the fact that his twitching eye had gone into over time.
Tenten was still swearing (in great, vivid detail) just how exactly she would deal with Rock Lee and Maito Gai.
"Perhaps we should try a new tactic," Neji suggested. His wife's head swiveled around to look at him.
"Death by slicing instead of the Water Torture?" she suggested.
"…No."
Although that idea did have merit.
"You know how Gai is," Neji continued. "He won't be able to keep quiet for long. We should back off for the time being and let him show himself."
"Then we can kill him," Tenten finished.
"Or worse," Neji added. (You two are really getting into this, aren't you?)
"He's brainwashed our son," the Hyuuga continued calmly. (Ah, well, I suppose that it's justifiable then.)
"Who are you talking to?" Tenten asked curiously.
"….."
Meanwhile:
"The very Hokage Mountain shall shake under the combined forces of our manly youthful exuberance!" Gai proclaimed. (Oh hell.)
"Shall I do some more pushups Gai-sensei?" Hizashi asked. Gai paused in thought. There was still something missing. Something else was required to further push the boy's transformation.
"Gai-sensei?" Hizashi questioned.
"Yosh!" Gai suddenly exclaimed. "I have it!"
"What is it Gai-sensei?" the young Hyuuga asked excitedly. His Hyuuga eyes sparkled brightly in anticipation.
"You need a rival!" Gai boomed.
Ah, yes. One must not forget such a crucial detail.
"But I have no rival!" The distressed Hyuuga gasped. Gai pumped his fist in the air as an overly determined grin rose on his face.
"That is why we must find one! It is imperative that you find someone whose constant challenges will help the fires of your Youth to glow ever more brightly!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Hizashi!"
"Gai-sensei!"
And so the search for a rival begins.
…………………………………………………………………….
"This is not funny Ino," Tenten growled. "It could be your son." Ino paused in horror as she considered it. However, it is much easier to laugh at someone else's misfortunes (especially since you yourself were spared the horrific circumstances).
"I wonder where they went?" Ino pondered out loud. Tenten glowered around her, as if expecting Maito Gai to come popping out any second.
"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough," she growled.
(I'm sure you will Tenten.)
………………………………………………………………………………..
And so the great search begins. After several false starts, Maito Gai has narrowed the list down to three candidates.
1. Uchiha Hayame (The fourteen year old son of Sasuke.)
2. Uzumaki Iruka (The thirteen year old son of the Honorable Hokage.)
3. Nara Yomari (The thirteen year old daughter of Shikamaru and Temari.)
Candidate Number One: The Uchiha
Uchiha Hayame did not want to be bothered. He had far too many more important things to do. (Things like reading Icha Icha Paradise).
However, even the pink haired ninja was unprepared for the sight that greeted him.
"Yosh! If it isn't my future rival!"
The Uchiha stared at the insane Hyuuga with wide eyes. He was so stunned that his Sharingan activated without him realizing it.
Inner Hayame: Gah! It's the Apocalypse! Run for the hills!
"What do you want?" The Uchiha said with indifference. He continued to read his Icha Icha Paradise as if nothing out of the ordinary had transpired.
"Didn't I just say it?" The Hyuuga said, somewhat miffed. "You're my future rival!"
Inner Hayame: Rival? I don't want to be rivals with this freak!
"Hnn," Hayame answered. He flipped to the next page. The Hyuuga finally slumped his shoulders in disappointment and trudged off.
Candidates Numbers Two and Three: Uzumaki and Nara
"I win again Uzumaki!"
"Agh! I hate Rock Paper Scissors!"
Uzumaki Iruka glared hard at Nara Yomari. The two blondes were yet again engaged in some trivial and obscure battle.
"Dammit," the young Uzumaki swore. He activated his Byakugan eyes and shot out his hand again.
"Let's do it again!" he demanded. (How is the Byakugen going to help you win Rock Paper Scissors?)
Poof.
"Cousin Iruka! What a gloriously challenging day this has been!"
Iruka and Yomari stared in horrified fascination at the posing Hyuuga. Iruka's eyes popped open as Yomari gave an 'Eep!'
"Come Cousin! Let us celebrate the Spring of our Youths by sparring!"
"This is troublesome," Yomari muttered. Iruka stared a few seconds longer before he finally found his voice.
"DID YOU FALL ON YOUR HEAD?" the young Uzumaki screamed. The other Hyuuga shook his head and flashed a bright smile. (How can anyone get their teeth that white?)
"Nope!" Hyuuga Hizashi proclaimed brightly. "Although Gai-sensei did hit me pretty hard when we were training."
"HAS MY GRANDPA SEEN YOU?"
(Oh dear Lord! Hiashi hasn't seen him?)
Hizashi stopped cold. (Apparently he hadn't thought of that either. Although why he would be worse than Tenten and Neji is beyond this humble narrator.)
However, even this can not deter our young Hyuuga. He did his best 'nice guy' pose and flashed a sparkling smile.
"Yosh! I shall be the greatest Hyuuga!" he proclaimed. "Behold my Youthful greatness!"
"Hizashi!"
Hyuuga Hizashi streaked off, with his mother hot on his heels.
