Training Ground 4)
A guy wearing ANBU pants and jounin vest was standing in the ground opposite of another person wearing the same garb. Both of their faces was covered with the only place being the eyes which were glaring at each other from behind the cloth. The red eyes with tomoes in them were studying there opponents with too much intensity. Both of the opponents looked ready for anything that could come from the shadows. In their hands were swords, one holding a Katana and the other a ninjato.
Suddenly the first guy made the move, he attacked with much vigor with the ninjato, the second guy stepped aside from the slash. The first guy then brought a hidden kunai and used it to attack him with his other hand. The guy used the katana in his hand to stop the kunai going for his abdomen. He then bought his knee up to attack him but the first guy jumped out of the way.
Both of them then surged at each other at incredible speed the tomoes in the red eyes spinning wildly. The first guy bought his katana with him with a downward slash while the second guy used his ninjato in an upward slash. Both held the position in a stalemate until the second guy kicked the first guy again. The first went back flying as he landed and tried to maintain his footing but before he could a punch came straight to his chest from the second guy, but instead of flying back the first guy was turned into black crows as they went away flying. The second guy eyes widen for a bit and he quickly looked around before two more person which looked exactly same as the first guy with their build and body and the stance and the katana they had. "Clones" the second guy muttered as the clones of the first guy attacked him but as they attacked at him with their swords the second guy disappeared in the swirl of leaves and soon there were several swirls with the second guy using it to go from one place to another and taking out the clones within few seconds. The first guy than suddenly jumped from up with few clones attacking the wind swirl with leaves.
The second guy quickly took out the clones but a sudden impact stopped him from teleporting again. The first guy was standing at the place where the second guy once stood. Both then waited for a few more moments before charging again. A slash from the first guy which was dodged.
A stab from the second guy.

Both of the people were again at stalemate with the both sword crossed. Both trying to over power the other.
Then the first guy moved again he tilt the sword a bit where blade was now touching the handle, stuck it near the hilt and then threw both katana and the ninjato away from their wielders. And just after throwing the swords away he brought out a kunai to attack but was stopped by the second guy when he brought out his kunai to stop the knife from hitting him.
*clank* both of the kunai met in the middle when the first guy used his momentum from the downward slash he tried to use to turn it into kick to his head. The second guy used his elbow to stop the kick and then used his hand with kunai to attack him. The first quickly moved while letting out a curse, the second guy charged forward with a punch which the first guy caught and he retaliated with his punch which the second guy used his other hand because which he dropped his kunai and the moment distraction led to him getting kicked in the chest and being thrown away mid air he twisted himself and threw shuriken at the first guy, which he dodged by jumping out of the way. The second guy bought out another kunai and attacked the first guy again. Both of them attacked with there kunai slash,

Until the first guy brought his right hand with the kunai near the neck which the second kept at bay with his left hand and the right hand of the second guy with kunai inches away from being stab the first guy in the chest near heart but stopped by the left hand of the first guy.
Both glaring at each other, with the tomoes in the middle spinning wildly. But before the two could continue a sudden sound of clap stopped both of them.
*Clap clap clap*
Both of them looked at the place where the sound was coming from and got surprised by gathering.
The place where they were looking at consisted of a woman with black hair with bangs and Light skin. She wore a purple blouse and red skirt with shinobi sandals. This was Mikoto Uchiha, the matriarch of the Uchiha house, beside her stood her husband Fugaku Uchiha with a firm look. And with them was a small child that looked like Fugaku and with a bit lighter skin tone with awe and stars in his eyes and looking at the two with admiration. The kid was Sasuke Uchiha the second child of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha.
But that wasn't what shocked them.
The shocking thing was the three other people that were them. One was the Hokage, currently the most influential shinobi in Konoha and with them was one Kakashi Hatake, the shinobi prodigy, student of fourth Hokage and one of the strongest shinobi in Konoha. And with them having the same expression as Sasuke Uchiha was the blonde haired kyuubi Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.
"That was so awsome." Naruto shouted with the stars in place of his eyes.
"Ofcourse, they were awsome." Sasuke from his place said "My brother is fighting everything he does is awsome." Talk about older brother worship.
"It is impressive." Sarutobi from his place spoke out. "I am quiet impressed with how far you both have come in the shinobi arts, Itachi, Shishui." Both masked person removed the cloth that was covering there face. The first guy was a younger than the other, maybe in his late teens and has his looks quiet similar to the couple that was standing before him. This was Itachi Uchiha, the older son of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha.
The second person was a bit older than Itachi, had unkempt black hair and a broad nose. He had fair build and was standing tall. This was Shisui Uchiha. Both of the Uchiha initially frozen at there place jumped up and bowed down to greet the Clan head, his family and the Hokage.
Hiruzen waved his hand indicating for them to stand up and motioned for Fugaku to continue who saw the gesture.
"Itachi." Itachi stood firm and stepped forward "You are quiet strong and a prodigy in your age group, but that doesn't mean that you have learned everything. There is still place, moves and skills that you have yet learn and I look forward to the time when you have mastered your current level. You have still made some mistakes that could be overlooked by the most people but I and most importantly you know where you have made those mistakes and I know that you will improve in thos places." Itachi hearing the words from his father stepped back and stood with Shisui.
"Now Shisui." Shisui came in the front at the command of his clan head. "Another Prodigy of the Uchiha clan. You are one of the strongest shinobi and because of that both you and Itachi were nominated for the Jounin and ANBU at the age both of you are at. Your ninjutsu and taijutsu is already incredible and your mastery over the sharingan makes you much more formidable. Moreover your skills with Shushin Jutsu makes you much more deadlier. And just like I have told Itachi, I will tell you that you, there still some places that you have to learn and some techniques that you need to improve upon." As he said this Shisui also took his place back with Itachi.
"Also I am quiet happy to tell you both that you have made both this Clan and our village pride by overcoming the challenges and obstacles." Fugaku stated while looking at both of them "And I am proud at both of you for this."
The Uchihas present were quiet wide eyed at his compliment as the Uchiha Patriarch never gives out compliment and praises. "Another thing that I need to discuss with you, Shisui." Shisui looked at the Fugaku.
"Yes Lord Fugaku?" He asks knowing that if the Hokage is there than it might be an important mission.
"Becuase something that happened recently and came in the light of council, Lord Hokage." Fugaku directed his gaze at the leader of the village. "Has decided to give a mission to the three shinobi and you are one of them." So he was right there was a mission from the Hokage. "This mission will take precedence over other things." He pauses as Shisui nodded showing his interest in the mission.
"And your mission will be to teach, Naruto Uzumaki with two other Jounin of the Konoha."

Inuzuka Compound)
Alright let's face. It several things have changed during the council meeting, that was thing that Tsume noted. With little Naruto having a bloodline like the one that has been discussed in the council, it would mean that he is now on the same pedestal as the rest of the clans are. The only bad thing is that he is the only one with the said bloodline, which makes it a bit easier for the Civilian Council to initiate the CRA for him and mostly add nothing more than but a bunch of civilian girls sometimes who are older than him. All in all he was going to have difficult time finding love in the future also if any of the member got with the little guy then there was a chance that they will also become a part of the things left behind by his parents for him which included hirashin and Uzumaki seals which shouldn't be happening except if he fell in love with a civilian than it is the whole other thing, unless the girl does it for money and nothing else. The saving grace this time have been the sudden and quick action of Hiruzen and unexpected support of the Danzo, which was a surprise in itself. Apart for the thing that he wants him to be turned into a weapon for him to use. Which again is not good.
'You know this ordeal has given me a bit more headache than a hangover does.' Tsume thought while rubbing her head. She then turned to look at one of her clansmen. "Bring me Jounin Raiga Inuzuka, from the ninken vet here." She commanded as the clansmen nodded her head and went out of the room to get the Jounin.
Why did Hiruzen chose these three? Was the prominent question that rang in the mind of the Inuzuka matriarch. She may not be as smart as some of the other Clan heads but even she could see that the Hokage was also planning things in the dark. And with the knowledge of this bloodline had somehow made him more vigilant.
Tsume was deep in her thought when the door opened again and a man in a Jounin vest appeared, he was tall, and had the same brown hairs and the Inuzuka clan markings like the rest of them. He had brown eyes and with him was his Ninken partner, Ranmaru. He was a big dog with brown patches near its eye and ears.
"Lady Tsume." Raiga started "You called for me?"
"Yes, Jounin Raiga." Tsume spoke in a formal tone as she looked at the one of her clansmen. "The Hokage has asked for you, you have been given a mission by the Hokage himself and will be provided a team for this mission." She pauses as she saw the widening of eyes of the Inuzuka member, she would've been surprised either, she knew that a mission coming directly from the Kage has a lot of importance and could either mean a direct promotion or recognition if successful or sometimes death because the mission got ugly and you failed. "He will be coming here with one of your teammates, so that you could be acquainted with them, I want you to be in your best behaviour and present yourself properly to the Hokage." She stood up and walked towards the door "don't let me down little brother." Tsume spoke quietly but the widening of eyes from both Raiga and his partner showed that they heard her.
Raiga quickly stood up, followed by Ranmaru as they followed the Clan matriarch of the Inuzuka to the gates of the compound. "Lady Tsume." Raiga called out to her clan head "if I may ask, can you tell us about this mission or my possible teammates, who are going to undertake this mission with me."
"You should've learned patience, little brother." Tsume spoke again "Lord Hokage are just about to reach here and you will find out about your mission then." With that Tsume looked in the front where the figure of Hokage followed with Kakashi and ANBU appeared, he also had Naruto with him, behind whom was the famous Shushin no Shisui of the Uchiha Clan. "Ah Tsume." Hokage greeted the clan matriarch who in turn bowed down to greet the leader of their village. "I am glad to see that you've called Raiga here." The Hokage looked at the young Inuzuka who in turn bowed down to the Kage.
"Lord Hokage." Raiga bowed to greet the Kage of the village.
"Stand tall Jounin." Hiruzen spoke as he looked towards the Inuzuka jounin "I have a mission for you."
Raiga stood firm and went to look at the gathered people. "I want you." Hiruzen started "to help prepare Naruto Uzumaki for future, he will be attending the academy but you have to help him get control of his super-human senses that he have developed because of his bloodline. I want you to train him so that these senses don't become a hindrance during a mission." Raiga had his eyes widened, he knew about the resident prankster of Konoha who is also the Jinchuriki of kyuubi, he didn't hate the kid, oh god no he did not, but he was mostly wary of him also the rumors regarding the child being haunted didn't help him either, but to find out that he had a bloodline, that is new, and what are the super-senses?
Hiruzen seeing the confused expression decided to elaborate on it "due to his bloodline his senses are increased to the point where it rivals an Inuzuka." Now that was a surprise because the Inuzuka has the best senses in the whole of Konoha if not the world.
"But why do I need to learn how to control them?" Naruto asks for the first time. Raiga hearing the question smiled at the little child.
"What is your name pup?" Raiga asks with a smile and the rest decided to watch the interaction. Naruto hearing him gave him a bright grin to match his smile. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage."
"Ah you dream to be Hokage." Raiga said with a knowing smile "the strongest ninja in the village. You know as the strongest ninja you have to be strong but also should know how to observe and use your senses." Naruto nodded his head excitedly as the Inuzuka kept on talking "and one thing you should know that super-senses are both blessing and a curse you can hear things that some people don't hear and because of that loud voices hurt people like us, also enhanced eyesight also has a problem because of sudden surge of light, same goes for smell too." He paused as he saw the Uzumaki kid who was now looking at him with his full attention. "That's why you need to learn how to use your senses in places where they can't help you properly. Are you ready for my training that I will provide for you?"
"Hai Sensei!"

Hyuuga Compound)
Hisashi Hyuuga let out a sigh. He felt like every clan head and the village leader had been doing it for a long long time.
And right now it was more than ever. He didn't know what to feel as of now, with all of the things that had been going on in the village and his clans and his family. With the death of Hizashi's wife, his wife Hitomi took most of the care of all the family including his nephew. Both of the brothers were on equal footing when it came to their clans style, but it was his brother who was to be marked with the cage bird seal. Hiashi had been for a long time trying hard to get rid of the seal. But the elders have made it so impossible for him to work on anything against the seal, and there was no way a sannin or more importantly Jiraya, the toad sennin could help him in this advent to create a new seal that would be such that the stealing of bayakugan would be impossible, but the elders didn't want to lose there slaves from which they could benefit from and use them as they saw fit.
And now comes a new problem, not problem per say but something akin to it.
With the new bloodline that has been introduced through Naruto, the problems have taken a new height for the Hokage and the shinobi that he chose for training him which in turn will become the problems for the clan, more specifically the Uchiha and the Hyuuga clans. Most of the members of these two clans don't see eye to eye for obvious reason, I mean come on whenever one looks other in the eye they activate their said bloodline just to prove which one is superior, and now two of them has to work together. Which truthfully was not at all good, also keeping in mind the fact that the shinobi chosen from the Hyuuga clan is from branch house makes it all the more problematic.
From Inuzuka a well know Jounin have been chosen by the Hokage to help train the kid and makes him up to par so that he won't lag behind the other students at the academy. Considering that many still hates the kid and his guts so that was too. Now about the Inuzuka Jounin, Raiga Inuzuka, one of the strongest Jounin in the field and tracking and part of the ANBU.
Then comes Shishui Uchiha, one of the prodigy of Uchiha clan and also hold a special title for himself 'Shushin no Shishui. Which makes him a lot more faster than he already is not as fast as the fourth Hokage but still very fast. He is also is chosen as the next temporary head of the Uchiha clan when, Fugaku is not around, and considering Itachi doesn't want to take that place or isn't ready and Sasuke is still just a child, or what he has heard about in the rumors regarding the Uchiha prodigy. Truth to be told he never thought that Fugaku would choose anyone else other than his sons but considering how Shishui and Itachi are he might be hoping that Itachi could learn more things from the older Uchiha. Also did you know the rest of the village is still vary of the Uchiha clan, especially after the whole kyuubi no youko fiasco.
Now coming to the choose Hyuuga, Hizashi is not a bad choice, his personal thoughts. On the contrary he is great teacher and a fighter so there is nobody else better than the said Hyuuga to train the little Uzumaki.
No what worries him the most is that, the Hokage has chosen someone from the branch house, someone with the cage bird seal over someone from the main house. And because of this the main house of the Hyuuga family is going to take this as an insult to themselves. After all in their eyes, the Hokage has chosen a filthy commoner instead of a member from the main house.
Hiashi sighed again, and then the door that was near him moved only slightly a bit and then it was opened, to show a woman with the same hair color like Hiashi and the same pale eyes. The woman was also pregnant with how her stomach was seen. Behind the woman was a small girl with a bob cut and similar pale eyes came with her while holding the edge of her kimono and looked quiet neevous, also on the face of the woman was a tight smile, these were his wife and daughter Hitomi Hyuuga and Hinata Hyuuga and by the looks of it his wife was not happy and her unhappiness was also making there daughter nervous.
"Hello Dear" Hitomi spoke in an icy tone and a shiver passed on the spine of the two other people that were in the room with him. "How are you on this fine day?" Imminent danger was the word that kept on ringing in his head.
"Hello Hitomi" Hisashi spoke in a placating and soothing voice while trying his best to not anger his wife any further, he doesn't know why she is angry as of now or what has made her more agitated maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, which is so not good she is terrifying without them, with them its a whole different news. "I am very good. how has your day been and how is my little princess?" Hinata quickly went from her mother to her father in a moment notice with a bright smile, now only if she could be like this with others and be more confident. Hitomi on the other hand the icy expression dropped for a moment seeing the father-daughter moment for a bit, but the icy expression returned as she remembered why she was here in the first place.
"Oh it was good, me and Hinata went to the park with Natsu." Natsu Hyuuga, right now the caretaker of Hinata whenever she or Hiashi were busy. "And you know what did we hear?" Hiashi only shook his head in negative "While we were out, Natsu and I heard a news about you calling your brother for a meeting. Is that right?" How did the news of him calling Hizashi here got out, and he now perfectly understood what she was talking about, considering that Hizashi was the member of the branch house, and if a member of the branch house was called in by the member of the main house, most of the time it was because they are discussing what that person has done wrong, and if this news was out and about then Hitomi wasn't the only member of the clan that might've heard about this, then all of them are going to be here 'Shit!' Hiashi cursed in his mind he was actually going to discuss with his brother alone but now the whole of the clan is going to be in on the meeting between him, his brother and the Hokage, next time if he was going to meet his brother for things like this then he is going to go to his place himself not gonna send a messenger to call for him. Now Hitomi glared at him with shuriken and kunai and if he was true and a glare could kill, he would already be six feet under. Hinata did the right thing and his behind his father at the moment notice.
"Hitomi, dear, the love of my life" Hiashi raised his hands in defence "You are taking it the wrong way."
"Taking it the wrong way, taking it the wrong way!" Pregnancy hormones were so not good for him. "Tell that to the elders who are now gathering in the main hall to discuss about the possible crime your brother, may I say, did not even commit."
"I know that he didn't do anything wrong." Now Hiashi spoke while he looked at his wife "I called him to have a brother to brother talk and a possible mission that-" the door to the room opened up again and another figure looking quiet similar to Hiashi in many ways stepped in followed by a chibi version of the older guy and a woman with same pale eyes and concerned expression walked in the room. These were Hizashi Hyuuga, his son and Hiashi's nephew Neji Hyuuga and the caretaker of Hinata Natsu Hyuuga.
"Hello brother" Hizashi Hyuuga spoke when he looked at his brother and turned to look at the two other people that were already in the room "You called for me. And before we go to the main hall let me just tell you whatever the members of main branch are talking about I did not do it." He completed firmly as the other two that entered with him looked a bit nervous about what could happen between the two brothers.
Hiashi on the other hand could do nothing much but groan "I know that you didn't do any thing wrong." He said and looked at his brother in the eye. "And from here on now I am not going to send a messenger to call you." Now the eyes of the other people widened, if he was not going to call his brother by the messenger than this would mean that all of this was a huge misunderstanding.
"Wait if you know that I didn't do anything wrong then why was I called?" Before Hiashi could speak anything the door slid open showing another member of the branch house, he bowed down before the head of the Clan.
"Lord Hiashi" The branch house member spoke with contempt knowing that it is going another of those meeting where the main house member of the clan will provide fake evidence to convict and blame the member of the branch house "The Elder council awaits you along with Hizashi Hyuuga." Hiashi on the other hand did nothing much but cursed under his breath which was heard by most of the adults in the room, the children looked confused and Hitomi glared at her husband again.
"Alright" Hiashi spoke as he gathered his composure "Let's get this over with, if the main house and elders are so impatient to get themselves insulted then let's not stop them." With that he started to walk towards the door but then stopped and turned towards the branch members apart from his brother and his wife. "You are also welcome to join this meeting." If they are going to change the system why not start now, he also needs to have words with the person that he choose as the messenger. The branch members, especially Natsu and the new messenger looked surprised at what the clan head had asked of them, and if the main house members are going to knock down a notch, then who were they to miss it. Now all of them followed their clan head, the wife and brother of her husband looking quiet surprised at their clan head. Whereas on the faces of the other four concern and confusion remain prominent.
They quickly came near the main hall where the Hyuuga elder sat around in a circle and few seats left for the the Clan head and his family. The branch house member which consisted of Hizashi, his son Neji, Natsu and the messenger who now stood there. Whereas Hitomi and Hiashi along with Hinata went to take the seat. In the other side of the room their stood a petite figure, probably of man, he was quiet short in figure and was another member of the main house, he is Negi Hyuuga, best friend of Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuuga, and right now he kept in glaring at the clan head. Hiashi seeing just gave him a crooked smirk, and the man looked back in confusion, that smirk could mean only one thing, Hiashi Hyuuga was planning something big and stupid and it had been a long time since he had planned something big and stupid.
"Lord Hiashi" One of the elders stood up and looked towards the member of the branch house with a glare and then turned to look at their head. "We are gathered here to discuss about your case against the branch member Hizashi Hyuuga."
"Yes before we do that." Hiashi interrupted the elder of the clan "I would like to know the messenger that I sent to call for my brother." The elders looked at each other not liking the fact that the clan head had called for the the person that has delivered the news to them.
"Ofcourse Lord Hiashi." Another member of the clan council spoke up "can you tell us the reason why are you asking for him."
"Oh you will find out it out once you call him here." The head of the clan shot back. And then the elder turned to look at the door. And a Hyuuga main branch member, strodded out wearing a chunin vest over his kimono, he looked quiet proud of what he has done here and how he let out the information of the meeting between his brother and him. Hiashi gripped the table and applied force over it in anger. Hitomi looked towards her husband in concerned confusion.
"Tell me your name Chunin." Hiashi spoke in a controlled rage.
"My name is Torune Hyuuga." The hyuuga spoke with so much pride that he might as well be the head of the clan.
"And do you know why you are here?" Hiashi asked.
"For informing the council of the possible punishment of the branch house filth, Hizashi Hyuuga." Now this got him another set of glare from the other Hyuugas. Hiashi, Hitomi, Natsu, Negi and the messenger glared towards him with hate, where as the elders glared because the idiot messenger has openly insulted the brother of the clan head.
"And did I told you to inform the elders about this meeting that is going to take place between me and my brother?!" Hiashi spoke in barely controlled rage. And the elders did look at him asking the same question through their eyes that the he had asked.
The chunin on the other hand fidget in his place knowing that Hiashi hasn't asked anything like that "Well...you see...I assumed that when...you asked me to call your brother...you wanted me to inform rest of the council too." Now all of the present people looked at him with hardened and surprised expression whereastbe bench that Hiashi was holding nearly broke from the pressure that he was applying.
"So you...just assumed that...I wanted to call the rest of the council...just because I asked you too call my brother!" Now even the chunin could see the anger that the Hyuuga patriarch was emitting. "Who gave you the right to assume about what I want to talk with my brother or not!" Hiashi was livid and his family, brother and best friend could see it clearly. Hinata hid behind her mother when her father began shouting where as Neji did the same thing with his father. The chunin on the other hand looked towards one of the elders for help.
The elder stood up to placate the head of the clan "Lord Hiashi, do you not think that it is necessary for the council to learn about what have been discussed between the branch house member and the head of the clan. After all it is our right as the council to know about news like these."
"Oh it's the right of the council to know about news like these,so than it might also be the right of council to know why you take daily walk to the house three blocks away from here and why you come smelling like ladies perfume." Hiashi spoke with a glare towards the elder as the elder than shook in his place as the bayaakugan of the Hyuuga patriarch was active and the rest also turned their glare on him. "Or why your wife flirts with the strangers and quiet frankly very young males on the streets of the village." The words spoken by the laid heavily on the council as the messenger, Torune trembled in his place. "Do you wish to speak about them in this meeting." The whole council was silent when this had been spoken.
"Oh damn!" A voice whispered and Hiashi and Hizashi turned to look towards their friend who just gave a smirk in return.
"No Lord Hyuuga." The elder gritted out and sat back down in his place.
"Now back to the chunin Torune." Hiashi spoke again turning his attention back from the elder to the trembling chunin "As you know what you have done chunin" Hiashi looked as the chunin shook his head "What you have done is considered as a crime, the spreading of news when you have been ordered by the higher up or a mission leader, you would've committed a treason and will be ordered for execution or life sentence in the ANBU prison." Now the chunin was crying already knowing of stories he heard about the prison and its warden.
"I am sorry Lord Hiashi." The chunin spoke while "I did not know that you wanted it to be a private meeting with him."
"That is no excuse." Hisashi roared again "What you have done is highly punishable, with the leak of information and informing the council behind my back, I have the right to punish you." He then paused as he looks towards the chunin with a deep breath "Chunnin Torune, I order for you to recieve the Cage bird seal by the end of the night." And the room exploded with shouting. Hiashi already had an headache and he didn't want another one that he is going to get from this meeting and the probably upcoming meeting. "Quiet!" He yelled out as he looked at the kage that was with them.
"Lord Hyuuga" Surprisingly it was his brother Hizashi who spoke up, and considering that he used the title which meant that he is not happy about what his brother is doing "Don't you think that you are being tad bit too strict on him." He has been cursed with the same seal, and Hizaahi doesn't want it on his conscious that somebody got the seal because of him.
"And why is that Jounin?" Hizashi asks.
"I know what he did was wrong." Hizashi started choosing his words correctly because the Hyuugas are not known to be exactly merciful. "And I believe he has learned his mistake and will possibly want do anything wrong, so putting on the cage bird seal on him is not only cruel but wrong."
Before Hiashi could say anything he was interrupted by his wife "He is right my dear." Hitomi spoke and then turned to glare at the chunin "Even if what he did was wrong, and is a highly punishable offence, it is a lot more cruel when you decided to put Cage seal on him." With that several other elders decided to give their own advice but Hiashi looked towards his brother in concern, he knew why Hizashi said that, after all he knows his brother better than anyone in the world, except for the other woman standing with him, both Hiashi and Hitomi saw the concerned expression that Natsu shot towards his brother, 'that's new' Hitomi thought while looking at the two, smirk slowly appeared over her face.
"Very well." The patriarch of the Hyuuga clan said as he looked at the chunin with one final glare with his bayakugan and the chunin let out a relived sob "But you are still to be punished with what you have done." Hiashi then turned to look at his old friend "Negi Hyuuga."
"Yes Lord Hyuuga." The said person stood up from his spot.
"From this day onwards, Chunin Torune here will do all the work that are done by the members of the branch house. It is your job to over look that." Hiashi spoke as the chunin just looked at the ground "He will be doing all the chores of the house, which also includes, cleaning, laundry, and so on. I want you to overlook it and make sure that he doesn't command any branch house member to do said work. Whenever he is on mission the work will be given to the branch house member but till he is in the house he has to do all these house chores." Oh now this is much worse than the application of the cage bird seal, he basically made the member of main house a branch house servant, which is all the more insulting. "You will be shown the ropes of the work by one of the branch house member." Now this more insulting than doing the work. The elders looked conflicted on the punishment that has been ordered by the clan head where as Negi Hyuuga just gave a smirk of his own.
"Now get out of here before I change my mind." With that the chunin scrambled to his feet and went out and the silence reigned in the hall.
"Damn oh damn" the silent whisper came again and the clan turned to look at his friend.
"Now that has been done." Another elder spoke up as he looked at their head "And that we all have been called here, may I know the reason that why have you called a branch house member here, and we can all leave if what want to discuss is personal?" The elder Hyuuga asked the patriarch of the clan when he looked towards the branch house member.
"No, you are going to stay." Hiashi spoke as he looked at the elder who stood up, if he was right the name of the elder was Hotaru Hyuuga "You asked me why did I asked of my brother, now you are going to find out." With that the council sat there waiting for their Clan Head to speak something.
"Lord Hyuuga" Another elder, this time a female by the name of Hikari spoke up "Are we waiting for something?"
"As a matter of fact we are waiting for someone to be here." Hiashi said as the elders were now looking at each other looking for if someone was missing from here. They didn't have to wait for much more time when the door to the hall slid open and another member of the Hyuuga branch house entered the place.
"Lord Hyuuga" The member spoke in a hushed tone when he looked around the room nervously "Lord Hokage is here with a few extra guest." The whole room looked on in surprise at the branch house member where as Hiashi only just nodded his head at the member.
"Ah they are here." Hiashi spoke as all of them turned to look at the clan head "Very well show them here, we have a lot to discuss about what is going to happen." The clan patriarch ordered and the branch house member looked at him in surprise. "What are you waiting for, go show them the way to here." The member quickly ran out as the elders turned to look at the Clan head.
"Lord Hiashi" the elder Kotaru spoke up again "You know that the Hokage has no say whatsoever in a clan business."
"I am well aware Elder Kotaru." Hiashi spoke again "But considering that it was Lord Hokage himself that asked for the meeting with me and my brother that you guys are crashing not the other way around." Now that is a news, Hizashi and Hitomi along with Natsu and the messenger had heard Hiashi say before that the Hokage called for him but now it was a whole different thing keeping in the mind about the fact that the Elder council of the Hyuuga clan did not like the fact of someone like the Hokage interfering with their clan business.
"And pray tell why the Hokage has asked for a member from the branch house instead of someone from the main house?" The Elder Kotaru asks again.
"All will be explained." Hiashi spoke again but there was the hint of mirth behind that voice "Just have patience."
After waiting for a moment the door to the hall opened up again as Hiruzen Sarutobi entered the place and looked around in surprise and then turned to look at the Clan head of the Hyuuga clan in question.
"Greetings Lord Hokage." Hiashi Hyuuga along with the rest of the council stood up and bowed to the leader of the village in respect. "I welcome you to our Hyuuga mansion, and I also apologize that I was unable to greet you at the gate, there was minor issue that was brought before me, and I decided to take care of it before I talk with you."
"Don't worry Lord Hyuuga, it was just a surprise that I am seeing the whole Hyuuga council before me." Hiruzen stated and went inside and then to the surprise of the Hyuuga council, more people came in behind the Hokage. One was Shishui Uchiha, the prodigy of the Uchiha clan, they looked at him disdain considering the two are rival clans, behind him was Raiga Inuzuka the tracking expert and former member of the ANBU, jounin of the Inuzuka clan. Behind them was Hatake Kakashi one of the strongest shinobi in the village currently and Genma Shirunai the chunin and senbon expert. Now who came behind them surprised all of them altogether, more specifically the matriarch of the Hyuuga clan, behind them entered the six year old Naruto Uzumaki, the jinchuuriki of Kyuubi no Youko and the son of their freinds.
"Lord Hokage" the female Elder Haruka spoke as she looked at the gathered people. "Is their a reason that you need so many people for this meeting." As she looked over the group, neutrally.
"Oh yes, Honorable elder." Hiruzen started as he looked behind him "After all it includes most of them." As the branch member showed them to the seat that they arranged for them. "Hizashi Hyuuga." He paused as he looked at the said man "I am here to introduce you to your new teammates and your student that you are going to prepare." With that Shishui, Raiga and Naruto came forward. The council of the elders became silent again.
"Lord Hokage" The elder Kotaru interrupted as he looked at the leader of their village "May I ask why have you chosen, if I do say myself, a member of the branch house instead of the member of the main house." Ah here it was what Hiashi was looking for the close-minded main house thinking.
"Well" Hiashi started as he looked at the said elder "Maybe its because, he is one of the strongest member of the clan, doesn't matter branch house and main house." He then paused as he looked at the elder "Also because none of you have beaten him without the use of the seal." The silence returned as the Hokage narrowed his eyes at the elders of Hyuuga who went red, either in rage or in embarrassment.
"Oh oh damn." The whispered voice spoke again and this time Hizashi, Hiashi and Hitomi all turned to look at their freind who was in the corner.
Before anybody could speak again the door to the room slid open, and an elderly figure entered the room with a cup of herbal tea.
"Lord Hyuuga." The old man spoke and then turned to look at the Hokage "Lord Hokage." He bowed in respect to the leader of the village. "I am sorry if I am intruding but I am here to give lady Hitomi her medicine." With that the elderly figure went in put the tray in front of the Hyuuga matriarch. And quickly went out in nervous. All the while Naruto glared at the old man. Hiruzen shrugged thinking him of as one the guys that treated Naruto with contempt. But before he could say anything Naruto spoke up.
"Does the old man hate you lady?" He asked turning to the matriarch of the clan. Who just looked at the child with surprise.
"Considering that he is my doctor and is supposed to keep me healthy, no I dont think he hates me." The Hyuuga matriarch spoke for the family medic who has been looking over the main and branch house for a long time.
"No its just an old man gave me a juice once which smelled same as the tea that you are drinking. I was so sick after that I was unable to do anything." Now this is new as the Hyuuga patriarch looked at the tea and medicine that Hitomi has been taking for the past four months. Hiashi looked at her wife in concern.
"He is right." The Inuzuka finally spoke up as he took a sniff of the tea that was provided by the medic. Hitomi's eyes widen as he turned to look at her husband. Who was quick to order his the member of the clan that were their.
"Quick get me the medic, we are going to have some words with him." Hiashi spoke as Hiruzen said the same thing to the shinobi that are with him.
"Shishui, Raiga." Hiruzen commanded to the two "Go and help them find the-" before Hiruzen could complete his sentence the door slid open again and a branch house member rushed in.
"Lord Hyuuga." The member spoke as he looked at the head of the clan and then turned to look at the leader of the village. "Lord Hokage, it's the medic, he just dropped near the entrance of the mansion." The member spoke as Hiashi looked on with rage visible in his eyes. Hiruzen on the other hand looked concerned and rubbed his head with one of his hands.
'Why can't things just go good for once' The Hokage thought as he knew the headache that it was going to become but then he turned to look at the Hyuuga matriarch who was being taken by her husband to a shinobi hospital 'Atleast he save the life of one person.' The Hokage thought as be turns to look at the child that as well as saved the live of the Hyuuga matriarch.
