'She might be wrong about this occurrence but I do want to check just to make sure. After all, if there IS information, I want to study it so then I can try my best to find a cure or, kami forbid, find a way to continue training without my Byakugan. Then again, this might be a new blessing within this curse. Oh, I'm here.' Neji thought to himself as he arrived at the library.
As he entered he was greeted with the cool air and quiet atmosphere that was the famous Konoha Library. As Neji searched through the clan scrolls, he looked everywhere to find if it happened before but as he searched he found nothing on his condition. It was dark when he decided to return to the Hyuuga Compound. As he walked to the compound, he heard pants and moans coming from an alleyway and a flash of disheveled silver hair. 'Poor guy I hope he's alright and well tomorrow' he thought to himself as he continued to make his way.
He entered the Compound, a disappointing aura surrounding him. "Tadaima" Neji said softly as he entered.
Hiashi noticed this right away and frowned in concern 'He didn't find the condition in the library. He had the right idea but he looked in the wrong location.' "Neji, did you find anything in the library?"
"I could not find anything related to my condition in the library."
'… Hmm, maybe I should guide him to the clan library. After all, I did find that condition there. Also, the library doesn't hold EVERYTHING on the Hyuugas ability.'
"Neji remember this: Although the library has some information on us, it doesn't hold EVERYTHING on the clan."
'What do you mean by this uncle?' Neji pondered as he bowed out and left to his room.
He continued to think about this right until he was almost lulled to his dream realm. His eyes snapped open with disbelief and shock. 'I can't believe that I didn't search the clan library as well. I'll go search there tomorrow when I finish the usual routine… still can't believe that I didn't think of that sooner… as Shikamaru would say its troublesome. I guess I should go to sleep then but… argh no! Tomorrow I said!'
He continued to argue with himself back and forth about this and when the sun peeked at the world, Neji woke up with Gaara eyes only less shaped and more aggravated. He did his usual routine and then after he went to Hiashi. "Uncle, may I go to the clan library today?"
"Why?"
"…"
"To see if this condition happened before." Neji hesitantly replied as he wondered if something had taken over his uncle over night.
"…OH right of course you may go Neji. Just remember to put everything in its place afterwards, ok?"
"Of course Hiashi-sama" Neji respectfully said as he bowed out and rushed to the library.
He entered the empty library and got down to research right away. He continued to search for hours on end and he almost gave up when he spotted it. It wasn't a huge scroll but what caught his eye was the fact that the title was Eye condition of Hiroshi Hyuuga. 'Hmm I'm not too sure about this… is this the scroll that can help me or is it another one that is a waste of time? I guess I can take a look at this but if it doesn't help me, I'll retire for today and continue tomorrow.'
He ended up staying over 2 hours more since he read the scroll and as he rolled the scroll back up he had mixed thoughts of happiness and gloom. 'Well, on the bright side I have a new power that surpasses the main branch. On the other hand, it's not going activate until I fight a very powerful enemy. So until then, I'm stuck with being under their thumb until it's activated. Well, then again Hiashi did train me personally so I guess I can take it on a lighter note.'
He left the clan library close to dinnertime, did the usual Hyuuga routine, and as he drifted off he thought 'I hope that it will activate soon, it will be a waste if I don't activate it.'
It was midnight and he woke with a start. 'That dream… It felt so real, as if I was actually in the fight. That creature… So gruesome yet so powerful.'
As he went through his dreams, he felt a familiar chakra signature. "Neji, Tsunade-baa chan called you to the tower."
"Ok I'll be on my way there soon."
"See you -ttebayo"
He sighed and quickly got prepared. He hoped that the mission was a recovery mission and a quick one. He quickly made his way to the Hokage Tower. He tapped the oak door, "Come in Neji." Tsunade said.
"Neji, you, Naruto, Tenten and Sakura will be going to the Land of Tea to investigate disappearances of recent shinobi and find out what is going on. If need be, eliminate the enemy. You will leave in a couple of hours. Pack quickly. Neji, you will lead this mission. Now, go!"
"Hai, Hokage sama!"
Right after they left, Tsunade went straight for her Sake and as she drank, she pondered on the team she just sent. 'I know Hiashi said that he was fine, but I have my doubts. The only way to really know is if he comes back successful from this mission. I'm not sure if he'll come back from this mission with the new power or not it all depends on how this mission goes. I hope that they all come back… alive'
After that thought, and about 15 cups of sake, she passed out on the desk drooling over the remaining paperwork. Shizune walked in after and at first she thought that Tsunade was slacking off due to her snores, drool and an open bottle of Sake, but when she saw her Shishou's expression, she realized it wasn't from the paper work but the team that just left the Tower. 'She does have concern for this team especially Neji. To be honest, I have concerns too about this mission too. She didn't mention it was high class but she must've sent them if she knew they were going to be successful. Hopefully they will all come back alive and soon.'
Within 2 hours they were packed and already on their way towards their objective. They soon stopped to make camp for the rest of the night. When everyone left Neji opened the scroll that Tsunade had given him for the mission. 'So, we have to go to the Land of Tea to a small town of where the last shinobi was seen and we have to gather intel on where they might be now. Then using that intel we have to head towards the hiding place and kill the enemy. It seems fairly simple considering this is a high ranked mission. There must be something much deeper but what?'
Neji continued to ponder about this until he went to wake Sakura for the early morning watch. Everyone soon woke up for their usual routine and it wasn't long before they continued on their way to the target area.
