This chapter is going to be the world through the oldest Hyuuga child's eyes. He is twelve now. He is about to become a genin.
VP: Owen
I was so excited. Mom was helping me go through all my basic Jutsu. Only one would be required to pass. Mom and dad had to do the transformation technique. I liked the substitute Jutsu the best. I had memorized the Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms and I was working on the Kaiten and Empty fist techniques.
I trained with dad most of the time. I worked with mom sometimes on my accuracy with weapons. I wasn't as good as her though. I was 89 percent accurate compared to her 100 percent. Dad was teaching me his techniques. Kimiko learned some of them but she also worked with some of Aunt Hinata's techniques.
Dad didn't think I had the chakra control for Aunt Hinata's techniques. My chakra control was normal for a Hyuuga but her techniques required extreme amounts of control and chakra. Kimiko's was above average and she was working on it, so she was starting on the techniques. Dad said that Kimiko would get a lot of his techniques but the advantage of one or two of Aunt Hinata's.
Kimiko was an okay sister. She never talked to me, or really to anyone. She and I trained together sometimes. Mom didn't like that so dad only let us every few months. He thought it was good for us to have someone our age to go at.
She was 8 but I didn't dare underestimate her. She was scary. She was extremely serious and would not stop until she was instructed to. We weren't allowed to use chakra when we fought. Dad counted hits. For her age she was good. I won by about 20 each time. She wasn't as quick or strong as I but she could dodge.
Her Byakugan was average strength, it couldn't see any farther or more than dad's could. Dad said mine despite being a different color than a typical byakugan was stronger. I could see farther and extend my field of divination farther.
"Owen!" I turned around to see my mother. "You ready for today?" She smiled and hugged me.
"Can we go over everything one more time?" I asked her.
"Alright," We went outside into the back yard and sat down. We talked through many oral questions that could happen, the basic jutsus, and scenarios and equations for trajectory. After a while Dad came out and just watched us.
"I think you're ready. You should be heading out." Dad told me. "You're going to do great. When you come back you'll have one of these, your own that you earned with all the sweat and work you've done." He was pointing to his own headband.
Mom rubbed my hair. It was like my dad's. Long and tied back in a ponytail. She put a finger on my forehead and just smiled wide. I don't know why but she did. I think it has something to do with the scar that is still there on my dad's forehead. One time his headband fall off and I saw it. I don't know what it meant.
"Go on." She said. "Show them who you are, and how amazing you are."
"I will," I ran off like I did every morning. I first stopped at the house of 8 ANBU. At that time 3 ninja came out. My closest friends.
My cousin Hiroka. She was good but she could use only thirty-two strikes, and her mother's techniques. Her byakugan was as strong as Hiroka's dad said. She was only a few months younger. You couldn't estimate her because she had the training from her dad, the hokage. Her dad was crazy, running around and excited.
Yoshi was an Uchiha. He was strong and skilled. He and I sparred regularly because we were evenly matched. He had the sharingan so he could memorize most jutsus. I had the byakugan so I could easily taken down his chakra system. It was always interesting but I usually beat him.
Shika was such a girl. She was lazy and didn't like to do much. She was talented because she had bother her parent's jutsus. Her favorite thing was to trap you in her shadow Jutsu and then make you watch clouds with her. She claimed it was less troublesome this way.
Kuchi was an average ninja with normal skills. He was being raised by Hiroka's parents. He didn't have the byakugan to learn from Aunt Hinata or the crazy skills of Uncle Naruto but the other parents taught him what they could.
They all lived together in a huge mansion the size of one of the Hyuuga Branches. Yoshi and Shika's mothers got them to be in my class since we all grew up together. Kuchi, Hiroka and I would have been alone together of all the kids.
"Kuchiro Sarutobi-Yuhi," the teacher called. He threw a kunai and then poof! Log.
"Shika Nara," she stood there bored staring at the ceiling, out the window. Then as the kunai came at it she did the Jutsu.
"That was troublesome," she said like she was exhausted. The teacher ignored her.
"Hyuuga Owen," I did the same, flawlessly like I had practice a hundred times. He nodded and I walked up to the table and he put it in my hands. I tied it around my forehead like my father.
I stayed around to watch Hiroka and Yoshi. After everyone got their own headband, we walked outside. "We're real ninja now. I wonder what team we'll have."
It was posted hours later. "Team Guy. Hyuuga Owen. Hiroka Uzumaki. Rock Taku."
"Team Kakashi. Yoshi Uchiha. Shika Nara. Kuchiro Sarutobi-Yuhi."
Kakashi and Guy gave many missions for just the ninja. I was usually pared up with Kuchi. Shika with Yoshi. Kenshin with Hiroka. "My team is so much better, as always."
"My students are so much better. Naruto is the hokage. Sakura is head nurse. Sasuke is back and stronger than ever."
"Neji is ahead of the Hyuuga Clan and married to Tenten, the best Kunoichi we have in Konoha. Lee, he is doing great. Married with so many kids. See this one." He grabbed Taku and held him up. "The youth of my previous team is seen in these young ones."
I sighed. Of course I would get the same crazy teacher that my parents got. I sighed.
"I don't know, he doesn't seem that bad." Hiroka commented, she hadn't heard the stories.
"Yes, they are." We looked to Taku who was quiet. He was willing to learn as much as he could from our leader because his father, Rock Lee, had learned from him. Rock Lee, my dad and mom were on a team with them.
My mom stressed to me that I need to train with someone to become stronger. Hiroka would however, provide an opponent and her techniques would help strengthen me. Taku would be under the personal training of Lee.
Guy-sensei gathered us together. "So… I expect you guys to train with each other to be stronger. But for today, you are excused."
I went home and trained against Kimiko. Then dad stopped us and Kimiko went inside to study her normal school stuff. Dad stopped me from training. "How was your day? Heard you're on Guy-senseis team with Hiroka and Taku."
"Yeah, I don't know who I'm going to train with."
"You might not find someone like I had your mom but Taku and Hiroka are both good ninja, enough to supplement your training. Fighting against Hiroka as she uses Hyuuga techniques might not be best but I'm sure her dad has taught her many things." I nodded.
I went inside to see Daniya. She's my little sister and adorable. She's only 5 years old. She can talk but she has problems walking and such. She's tired all the time and gets sick easily. I don't think she'll become a ninja. Dad doesn't seem interested in training her.
"Hey dad, are you going to train Daniya?"
"No, your mother insists that your Aunt Hinata and her train her. Daniya needs careful attention. She can hardly walk and run."
"You think she can become a ninja?"
"She young yet Owen, anything can happen. She's smart, who knows." I looked at Daniya as she waddles across the room. I was already using Byakugan by her age. She couldn't and who know when she would be able to, it wasn't good to get our hopes up. I loved my littlest sister but I didn't want her hurt because of her problems.
Being a ninja was a lot of tough work and it would be hard on her. I didn't want her to get killed because she wasn't fast enough or strong enough. I saw that look in her though as she trained. It reminds me of mom when she used to train me. I see it everytime she and dad spar, she always looses but he's a Hyuuga, I don't expect her to. She doesn't either but she's going to go until she can't anymore. Daniya will die before she gives up and that's why I worry.
Mom tells me not to worry about her. I hope mom knows more than I do because I hope nothing bad happens to her but at this rate she's not doing to well and as for being a ninja goes, I don't think it's going to happen for her. At least not the kind of ninja everyone expects of her. Maybe a normal ninja but she's a Hyuuga. She has the Byakugan, an arsenal of ninja all our own, vision only she can see, chakra control that's beyond anyone elses and so much more. I can't see her settling for anything less. I see her doing great things because she's a Hyuuga, and we're amazing.
Why the Hyuugas are Great!
