Itachi walked through the village, sun shinning down upon him. He wore a large straw hat to hide his face. He spied on the Hokage's allies, discovering that each member had a ranking. Each ally was given a certain level of power to ensure their loyalty, and one group in particular stood out. The Hyuuga clan were pureblood Giovanni, as they always had been. There were two stories of the clan's origin, both pitting them against the Senju, instead of allying with them.
The first legend of the Hyuuga origins was that the elder child of the sage of the Six Paths was not an Uchiha, but a Hyuuga. And that his descendants became the Uchiha. However, that wouldn't explain how the Uchiha were human and the Hyuuga were not.
The other legends was that an Uchiha male fell in love with a Giovanni woman, their children being half vampire, fully turned through secret methods. The secret methods were also why they had the Byakugan, supposedly. Itachi personally believed this, as it made more sense to him. He sensed rebellion in the Hyuuga, and smirked.
Neji Hyuuga walked the Hyuuga Compound, frown on his face. He hated that the inbred Uzamaki was Hokage, when it should be a pureblooded vampire, or at least one that isn't inbred. Neji felt that the Tremere Giovanni hybrid was beneath him, and that it was his destiny to be beneath the Hyuuga, where he belonged. However, the Hyuuga knew his place, and in a battle, he would be devastated. He growled, searching for a way to fulfill his destiny.
Itachi watched the irritated Hyuuga in amusement. He believed it was his destiny to rule, but destiny can be altered, and Itachi was going to alter his.
Neji slammed his palm into a tree, angered. He should have known it would end up like this from the second the inbred trash had defeated him in the Chunin Exams. He heard clapping behind him, and spun, fangs bared. Itachi Uchiha stood smiling, something he never saw the elder Uchiha do. He was slightly unnerved, more by the smile than he actual being alive. He was defeated by Sasuke, the younger Uchiha at an advantage due to an illness Itachi had. Neji watched the Uchiha carefully as he walked over, examining the damage to the tree.
"You know, it's not nice to hurt nature." he said, placing his hand on the tree. The cracked bark and wood started to reform, the damage being repaired. The Sakura tree bloomed, and Itachi smiled up at it. He turned, leaning back against the tree.
"You think it is your destiny to rule? Or at least, not Naruto's destiny to rule? What makes you believe that train of thought? Was it bred into you?" Itachi asked, head tilted slightly. The black orbs of the Uchiha held no life in them, only death. Neji grit his teeth. "What right does that inbred scum have to rule that I don't?" he spat. Itachi chuckled, pushing himself off the tree. "The Hokage is not chosen by status, but by power. If not for Tobirama Senju, Madara Uchiha would have never left the village, the Uchiha clan would have never been assassinated, and I'd likely be Hokage, and if not me, my father. Just because you're a pureblooded vampire doesn't make you better than those who aren't." he said. Neji could feel his fangs pulsating against his gums.
Itachi turned his back to the Hyuuga. He started to walk away, but stopped to leave Neji parting words. "Perhaps… you should accept you're destiny as Naruto's lackey. It suits you." he said, continuing on. Naji exploded at the Uchiha, charging with vampiric speed. He swung his palm at the Uchiha, who appeared behind him. The force from his palm strike sent a shockwave across the Hyuuga compound, destroying the training area they were in. Neji was in shock at the Uchiha's ability to out speed a vampire. He spun, glaring at the Uchiha.
The Uchiha's eyes froze him in place. The Hyuuga couldn't move at all. He couldn't move his eyes, or even breath. The Uchiha inhaled deeply, then exhaled. A vicious sandstorm brewed, covering the vicinity in sand, and delivering vicious wounds to the Hyuuga. He groaned, flying back in pain. Blood leaked from many wounds.
His younger cousin, Hanabi Hyuuga, came from behind, gasping at the scene. Itachi was next to her in a second, and his eyes locked with her's. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, and her shocked expression turned into a blank one. She began to stumble away, but Itachi stopped her. "Finish him." He said forcefully, then disappeared. The young Hyuuga roared ferociously, charging her cousin. The wounded Hyuuga stood no chance, torn into shreds by the young girl. She pulled his intestines out, wrapping them about his throat. Itachi reappeared, smiling. He reached to Neji's face and pulled his eyes out.
Naruto took the small box from the ninja, smiling. It was from a jeweler, likely a pair of earrings for his wife. He sat down, Sakura behind him. He opened the box, and paled. In the box was the eyes of Neji Hyuuga, recently deceased. He heard about the ordeal. The Medical examiner, a vampire of five hundred years, said that the ordeal was confusing.
First, Neji Hyuuga was frozen with Eyes of the Serpent, a low level ability possessed by the followers of Set. Then, he was assaulted by Breath the Sandstorm, the most powerful Serpentis ability he'd seen. Sets of abilities that clans had were called Disciplines, and each vampire had at least one. Serpentis belonged to The Followers Of Set, but there were none in Konoha. This irked the Hokage, but then, he was even more perplexed by what happened to Hanabi. The young Hyuuga had fallen victim to Silence The Sane Mind, a Demention Discipline ability. The Demention Discipline belonged to the Malkavians, who were all in Asylums in Konoha. Whoever this assailant was, he was powerful.
Naruto pulled out the note, almost afraid to read it. He read aloud. "Destiny can be altered. Neji believed that he should rule, and looked what happened." He read, teeth grit. He stood, off to court. As much as the assailant harmed Neji, Hanabi finished him, and was facing murder charges, regardless of her mental state at the time.
Naruto closed his eyes, unable to watch the young girl's head roll. She had been proven guilty, the Hyuuga not caring about the attacker. She was sentenced to death, and died with tears in her eyes. She had snapped out of it, unable to remember anything. Sakura smile next to him. "I want her corpse." She said, eyeing the beheaded corpse. Naruto looked at his wife in shock. She raised a brow at him. "What? I want the body. It would please me." she said. Naruto growled, before complying.
Itachi sighed, petting Akamaru. The hound had sniffed out a camp with travelers, Ventrue with young boys. The Ventrue could only drink from one classification of being, the poor vampires forced to feed from young boys, as that was their first meal after being Embraced. Itachi looked at their corpses, commanding the horse drawn carriage to take the boys home. Blood burned, as Itachi drained them over the fire. Itachi already fed, on yet another of Naruto's sentries. The scent of blood was heavy in the air. Itachi closed his eyes, visions assaulting his mind.
Ino Yamanka stood, face covered in semen. She smirked at Naruto, who panted. "What's wrong? You never cum this much?" She said, licking semen from her fingers. Naruto only grunted.
Itachi smiled. He knew who his next victim was.
Orochimaru laughed loudly, inhaling the scent of blood. The Uchiha was stronger than he expected. This would be fun. He sent Tayuya after him, to see what he would do to a woman, as all of his victims had been male.
