Sorry for the very much delayed update. I'm back now, so enjoy!

Review on whose kids are whose:

Naruto and Hinata: Iruka
Sasuke and Sakura: Hayame
Iruka and Ayame the Ramen Girl: Kujira, Sarutobi
Tenten and Neji: Hizashi
Shino and Hana: Kuenai
Temari and Shikamaru: Yomari
Ibiki: Izumi (Mentioned but no appearance in story.)

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

Yosh! The Power of the Hyuuga Youth!

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

Chapter 12: Two Uncles Lend a Destructive Hand!

Neji pondered his continuing dilemma:

1. They had succeeded in torturing Lee and Gai, but the Green Beasts had escaped.
2. The Green Beasts were now swearing revenge on account of Lee's cut hair.
3. His son's current whereabouts were unknown.

The Hyuuga prodigy took a couple calming breaths as he envisioned twenty-seven different ways to disembowel his former sensei and teammate.

However, Tenten was ahead of him in that she had twenty-eight different ways to kill them.

"I have an idea," Neji finally said. "I will track down our son while you track down Lee and Gai."

Tenten gave her husband a sadistic smirk.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Gaara crossed his arms and gave his niece and Naruto's son an impassive look. Kankuro had faced the Wrath of Anko (and was probably still facing the Wrath of Anko) while the trio slipped away to freedom. They were now safely hidden in the forest.

Gaara raised an eyebrow.

"Explain," he commanded. Yomari and Iruka gulped. The two children exchanged glances before finally opening their bags, exposing their green contents to the world.

The Kazekage stared. He opened his mouth with the intent to lecture his niece.

"….?" Gaara asked silently. (Try harder next time Gaara.)

"It was Kujira and Kuenai who started it, not us," Yomari explained quickly.

"Yeah," Uzumaki Iruka said. "They're the ones who stole them from Gai. We're just helping to hide them."

A dumbstruck Gaara stared at them.

"Why…would you want these Things?" The Kazekage finally managed to ask. It was beyond him why anyone would want the horrific green clothes. He wasn't even sure if he could bring himself to touch one.

"Didn't you hear?" Yomari asked, losing her fear. She was, after all, Gaara's favorite. "Gai and Lee brainwashed Hyuuga Neji's son. Since Kujira and Kuenai are his genin, he told them that he wanted their help to get back at them."

"He told them?" Gaara asked with some suspicion. He knew Neji well enough to know that he wouldn't out right ask for help.

"Well, they said he sort of implied it," Iruka answered. Ah.

"So they stole Gai's clothes and now you're hiding the evidence?" Gaara asked, hiding his amusement.

"They also left him a pair of pink spandex," Yomari added.

Gaara's lip twitched.

Then it twitched again.

"Uncle Gaara…are you laughing?" Yomari asked in surprise. (Gaara? Laughing? Never!)

"No, not at all," Gaara stated impassively. (You lie Gaara.)

"Will you help us?" Iruka asked bravely. Gaara thought about it.

1. Yes! Yes! Destroy the spandex!
2. No, he couldn't, he was the Kazekage. This was beneath him.
3. But it's Lee and Gai!
4. No, he was GAARA. This sort of thing was for Naruto, not him. He had an image to uphold.
5. However, if he did this…the Hyuuga might owe him.

"…." Gaara said. (You'd better decide Gaara.)

"Destroy them," Gaara finally said.

Ah yes, the best solution of all.

"We must make sure that he sees it," the Kazekage continued.

(Oh dear.)

Meanwhile:

"Uncle Kiba?" Kuenai asked. "Are you certain this will work?"

Aburame Kuenai and Umino Kujira watched curiously as Kiba dumped itching powder into each of the green suits.

"Of course it will," Kiba scoffed. "First we'll ransom them off. Then, after Gai pays us, we'll still get the last laugh when he wears these."

"How do you know he'll pay us?" Kujira asked. "We don't want him to know that we're the ones who did it."

"He won't know," Kiba laughed.

He dumped some flea powder into the suits. (Er…Kiba? Aren't you overdoing it a bit?)

"Me?" Kiba asked innocently. "Never!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hizashi sat on top of the Hokage Mountain as he contemplated his dilemma.

1. His parents were trying to kill him.
2. His parents were trying to kill Gai-sensei and Lee-sensei.
3. Gai-sensei's beautiful Green Beast suits were missing.

Gah! The tragedy!

He still blamed the Uchiha. Somehow, it must all be his fault.

With that, Hyuuga Hizashi set off once more challenge his Eternal Rival.

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Uchiha Hayame, unfortunately, was in no position to spar with his "rival."

Sasuke glared down at his son as an infuriated Sakura continued to chase Jiraiya through the streets of Konoha.

"Hayame," Sasuke said coldly. His son gulped.

"Yes Father?" Hayame asked uneasily.

"You are now forbidden to interact with Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, as well as any other member of the Perverts R Us Club."

"Yes Father," Hayame said meekly, without any intention of keeping his word. After all, he himself was a secret member of said club.

Sasuke quietly pocketed Hayame's Icha Icha book, which he had every intention of looking at later.

However, it was only for "research" purposes only. He needed to know what kind of junk his son was reading.

He just had to make sure that Sakura didn't see him reading his "research."

……………………………………………………………………………………….

"Then we're agreed," Gai said. "In ten minutes, we strike."

"Yosh! Gai-sensei! We shall save Hizashi-kun from the tyranny of his Hyuuga-ness and preserve his Youthfulness!"

Oh dear. Whatever are they planning to do?

"Oh no!" Lee shouted. "Sensei! Look!"

"NNOOOO!" Gai shouted.

What has happened you ask? Well….

"What's that?" Shikamaru asked. Naruto and Iruka peered down the street.

"It's a bonfire," Naruto stated.

"I know that," Shikamaru sighed. "But what's burning?"

"I'm not sure," Iruka said. "But it looks like your kids are throwing either Lee or Gai's clothes into it."

Pause.

"Yomari!" Shikamaru shouted, just as Naruto shouted his son's name. Both men took off as their said offspring continued to burn a certain Green Beast's clothes under the watchful eye of a red haired Kazekage.

"I'm glad they're not my children," Iruka muttered.

(Ummm…Iruka? You might rephrase that.)

"Why, what's my son doing?" he asked.

(Er…)

Location: Umino Kujira

"Hey Kiba," Kujira said. "Where should we leave the ransom note?"

………………………………………….

Author's note: I'm afraid of branched out a bit too much from my original intent and haven't futured much of Neji and Tenten. Don't worry though, after Gai deals with the destruction of his clothes, there will be a final battle between Neji, Tenten, Lee, and Gai concerning the fate of the Youthful Hyuuga Beast. I need to wrap up the side stories involving the other characters first, then I'll focus back on Neji and the others.

There will also be at least one more battle between Hizashi and his Eternal Uchiha Rival.
