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 5: The Green Beasts
"Hizashi!"
Oh dear oh dear, what ever will our young Hyuuga do?
"Hizashi!"
Solution: He hid. That's what he did.
Tenten glared around, wondering just exactly how her son had managed to escape her. One moment he had been right in front of her and the next moment he had vanished. Damn it. Was he using a Genjutsu?
"Hizashi! You're grounded for a month!"
Our young Hyuuga, where ever he is, shuddered at the thought.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Neji hid his impatience as he looked down at his three genin. He'd rather be searching for his son (and Maito Gai), but duty still called.
"Sensei? Is everything all right?" His young kunouchi asked. Hyuuga Megumi was also a member of the second branch.
"Hnn," Neji answered. He was looking down at the other two thirteen year olds when a sudden idea struck his head. (It was quite brilliant, or so he thought.)
The two boys looked at him curiously. Well, technically, Umino Kujira looked at him curiously. Aburame Kuenai, Shino's son, had an expressionless look on his face that didn't fool Neji for a second. Both boys were demons in disguise.
"I seem to be having a bit of trouble," Neji began. (Step one: Set the bait.)
Umino Kujira raised an eyebrow. He was the youngest child of Iruka, being twelve years younger than his brother. (He was also the very image of his father.)
The Aburame boy, as expected, showed no visible sign of interest.
"What kind of trouble is it Sensei?" the Hyuuga girl asked. She seemed to be generally concerned.
"Maito Gai and Rock Lee seem to be having a negative impact on my son," Neji continued, as if reluctantly. "As I have other…duties to attend to today, I am cutting your lesson short." This time the Aburame boy's eyebrows lifted. (Step two: Attract attention.)
"Aww…" Umino Kujira complained, then stopped. Perhaps he could persuade Uncle Naruto or the Ero-Sennin to teach him some new tricks. (He's already quite adept with the Ninja Centerfold and the Harem no Jutsu.)
"Hnn," Neji answered. Then, as if it were beneath him to admit this, he continued. "I would, however, be truly grateful if something were to happen as divine retribution against Maito Gai or Rock Lee. However, I suppose that is only wishful thinking." (Wait for it…)
Neji pretended not to notice the sudden glint of mischief in Kujira's eyes. Iruka's son glanced over at Kuenai and Neji knew that a similar look was present under the boy's sunglasses. (Step three: Catch the prey!)
Plausible deniability was a wonderful concept.

Maito Gai scanned around him. Where oh where had the young Hyuuga youthful prodigy gone now?
"Hizashi!" he called. Several of the townspeople looked at him curiously before looking away. They had become quite used to Gai's eccentric behavior. (Well, as accustomed as is humanely possible anyway.)
Hmm, Gai thought. He rubbed his chin as he pondered this dilemma. The boy was supposed to be testing out his possible rivals. Had he succeeded?
Yosh! Of course he has! I'll bet he's fighting right now!
With that thought, Gai strolled happily down the street (checking each corner to make sure Tenten wasn't stalking him). His beloved student, Rock Lee, should be returning soon. He could not wait to surprise his former student.
Gai paused suddenly as he neared Ichiraku Ramen shop. If they had succeeded in transforming one of the Hyuuga into the elite Green Beasts, was it possible to find more special recruits? (Oh dear Lord! We don't need more!)
He hummed to himself as he continued to stroll along his way. This thought, according to him, had actual merit.

Uchiha Hayame glared around him in irritation. He was being watched, he knew it.
The pink haired ninja returned his attention to his beloved Icha Icha Paradise. His father had supposedly banned him from reading it, but he had several hidden and not so hidden sources. (i.e.: Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, Konohamaru, Ebisu…)
His eyebrow twitched again as the unknown presence moved closer. The young Uchiha swore to himself. If Uzumaki, Nara, Umino, or Aburame were trying to ambush him again, they had another thing coming.
Inner Hayame: Cha! They can't beat this Uchiha!
"Beat it Loser," Hayame said out loud. There was a blur as Hyuuga Hizashi stepped out in front of him.
"Yosh! Let us spar!" Hizashi proclaimed.
Inner Hayame: Gah! Him again?
"Go away," the Uchiha said flatly. He turned a page. Hayame felt the Hyuuga glare at him. Good, maybe he'd leave him alone.
"No," Hizashi said firmly. "You are my eternal rival. We must fight! The honor of our youth depends on it!"
Inner Hayame: Damn it! What did I do to deserve this?
"Hnn," Hayame answered. Hizashi glared down at him before a brilliant idea formed in his mind. The young Hyuuga made a show of leaving before whipping around to snatch the book from the young Uchiha's hands.
Hayame froze in horror as Hizashi made off with his precious Icha Icha Paradise. (No! That's the Special Icha Icha Hotsprings Edition that Jiraiya had given him!)
With no other choice, the irate Uchiha took off after his unwished for rival.
………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hyuuga Hiashi had wanted nothing more than to quietly read a book and sip on some tea. Having decided that today was too nice of a day to spend in the Hyuuga compound, he had picked a nice, peaceful spot in Konoha to read some poetry.
"You're dead Hyuuga!"
Hiashi's head whipped around just in time to see a green blur race by, followed by a dark blue blur with pink hair. He blinked his eyes and stared off in the direction of the vanished blurs.
Was that…was that HIZASHI?
A large crash broke the peaceful silence of Konoha as the two would be rivals broke into a fight.
Meanwhile:
Rock Lee hummed cheerfully to himself as he continued through the forest. Gai-sensei and Hizashi will be so surprised, he thought. The Taijutsu master wasn't supposed to be back until the next day.
However, he would be back late that night.
