Dark Conflict
Chapter 3: Betrayal
It was a dark night in Konoha. Everyone was in bed, tired after a long day, which meant that one noticed the dark cloaked figure who strode purposefully down the street. The cloaked figure stopped in front of the Hyuga household. There, waiting for him, was another figure, similarly dressed. The figure by the house gave a deep bow of respect, then spoke;
"Master Itachi, it is good to see you again."
"It's good to see you, too, old friend. Is our target inside the house?" Itachi asked, sliding his gaze past his fellow conspirator to the building of which he spoke.
"Yes, master," the cloaked figure spoke.
"Very well," Itachi clipped, "you may take your leave."
A gust of wind blew the hood off of the clocked figure's face, allowing a long tail of black hair to flow openly into the wind. Milky eyes gleamed in the moonlight.
"With Hinata out of the way, I will finally be the master of the Hyuga clan," Hyuga Neji spoke smoothly to Itachi, his face shining with a negative mixture of emotion. Itachi spared him one small nod of acknowledgement, before striding past him towards the unlit residence.
