Chapter 11: Code Byakugan: Hotaru of the Revolution
Now, let's back up. How did I got captured by the nefarious Hyuuga clan?
Well, it starts when my Writer just randomly decide, ya know what, I've ran out of ideas, so I just gonna throw a Hyuuga plot and see what happen. That's what I believe what's going on and I'm sticking with it.
So, it's spring alright, so it floods everywhere as the snow melt. As a proud member of Genin City Mantainance Division, part of my job is unclogging the sewers.
So, I was sent to unclog the sewer system right next to the Hyuuga Estate. I figure, it's been months and they did nothing, so they probably wouldn't mind me cleaning up their sewers. I'm.doing them a favor!
I was just minding my business, clearing out the trashes that clogging the waterways when some Hyuuga servant just come to me and go KAGUYA AKBAR(!!) and explode the sleeping bomb he brought along.
Dammit. They're learning my tactics. Outstupid Maneuvers is supposed to be my thing!
So I wake up to see myself tied up in a dungeon, with chakra cuff preventing me from generating power. They obviously arranged all the bloody torture tools Infront of my cell to spook me.
The Feng Shui of the room offends my artistic sense, so I gaslit myself to think I'm in a garden.
"Stop ignoring us brat! Answer us!" Hyuuga Tennessee demand me.
Infront of me are the Five Elders of the Hyuuga Confederacy. I don't want to bother reember their names, so I just call em with Confederate States names. Since actual confederate leaders names is not funny enuff and I don't remember them anyway.
"The Hokage can't protect you anymore. We have arranged an planted evidence of your desertion. Don't think ANBU will save you, brat!", Hyuuga Texas threatens me.
"Reveal the secrets of Raijin Fist, and we may have mercy on you", Hyuuga Alabama, the most inbred looking elder try to persuade me.
"What are we waiting for? Let's just kill the brat and be done with this rat!", Hyuuga Georgia scoffed.
"not yet, brother. We should use this boy to improve our Gentle Fist Then, we shall dispose him.", Hyuuga Virginia reasoned.
"You have no choice. Reveal the secrets of Raijin Fist or you will face death!" Hyuuga Jeff, the President of Hyuuga Confederacy gives me his ultimatum.
"okay." I replied with not much concern.
"I see you still don't…. Wait what?"
Jeff looks so confused that I agreed just like that.
"What are you planning, Makoto Hotaru?", Jeff eyes narrowed at me suspiciously.
"Err… cooperating?"
"This is not how this supposed to work." Jeff shakes his head. Hell, even the Elder 5 looks low-key disappointed that they don't get to throw more threats at me.
"Look, I just want to skip this charade. I refuse, you torture me, I refuse again and you escalate my torturing and we just gonna keep at it until finally I have no limbs and balls and can't teach you anyway and all I get is the satisfaction of denying you. I'd like to keep my limbs and balls, mind you, so eh. I'll teach you."
"That's quite pragmatic of you." Jeff low-key praised me.
"Yea yea whatever. Anyway, just send someone with Lightning affinity to me. That's the starter."
"Lightning? Hmph. No Hyuuga has such an inelegant affinity. Erratic and uncontrollable. The Hyuuga Clan only has the elegant element of Earth. That is the foundation of the Gentle Fist." Texas dismissed.
How the fuck is dirt is elegant is beyond me.
Also I guess this world follow the fanon that Gentle Fist are Earth based huh?
This is a long shot, but I am right that this particular card follow canon instead of fanon, it could be my way out of here.
"Eh, just send me Hinata then. She has Lightning affinity.", I casually reveal.
"WHAT??!!!?"
All Five Elders jumped at the revelation.
Jeff groaned as he facepalmed over his greatest shame to be out in the open.
)))))))))))
It's been a week since I am left rotting in this dungeon. They must be enjoying me being in pain as I am tied up and chakra sealed.
Jokes on them, I cut off my pain receptors since the start and just spend my time binging memories of anime in my head.
Since they weren't killing me, I'm guessing they're still debating whether to dispose of me or let me teach Hinata.
Klang
Oh hey, it's my favorite Bitch Slave!
"I knew Fate will answer me. Kukuku, look at you now. A filthy prisoner."
"Good morning to you to, Bitch Slave."
"Makoto!"
I smirk to Bitch. He really thought he got one up on me.
"You ruined me, Makoto! Look at what you did to my arms!", he raised his vibrating arms, as if he can guilt trip me. "I used to be a rising star! The strongest Hyuuga of this generation! And you took it away from me!"
"eh. If anything I did you a favor. Ladies will love your Vibro Fingers. I'm sure you will have a bright future in porn."
"MAKOTO!!"
"Bitch Slave!"
Bitch Slave immediately looks back and shocked to see Jeff has come into the dungeon.
"Forgive me, Jeff-sama (I gaslit myself to hear [ ] as Jeff). I'm just sending our prisoner his breakfast." Bitch bowed.
"Begone, Bitch Slave. I have something to discuss with him."
Bitch begrudgingly leave us.
"Well thanks Jeff. Bitch was about to fuck me in the ass."
"what?!!" Jeff was shocked.
"Look at me, Jeff. I look like a really cute girl, right?"
"My name is not Jeff."
"I don't hear you denying."
"You…! Hmph. I heard of your infamy with verbal spars. I refuse to be brought low to your level."
"That's smart, Jeff. Don't argue with stupid. I will beat you down with experience."
Jeff sighed. "The Elders and I had come to an agreement. Since you are cooperative, we will allow you to be let out of the dungeon."
"Yea, coz I can't exactly train your kid while in the dungeon right? I heard she was…. Err… faint-hearted."
"Good for you to understand. Hinata is not sadistic-inclined. It would be inefficient to train her while she's feeling guilty for your… circumstances."
"okay, that's good."
"However, we will brand you with a Curse Mark. If you step outside, you will die. If you try to defy us, we will activate the Mark. We give three strikes before making it… fatal."
"Okay."
Jeff just looks at me suspiciously. "I can't wrap my head around you. Why are you so cooperative? Why make this so easy?"
The Hyuuga is famed for their ability to read faces. Their keen sight allow them to decipher what the opponent thinking with just the most minor twitch of muscle.
For them, trying to read me must be maddening.
Becoz, I have zero plan whatsoever. The enemy can't ruin and outsmart your plan if you have no plan in the first place.
"Have you live in the streets, sir? Fighting tooth and nail for breadcrumbs? Have you sleep outside with only rags as your clothes while snow is piled 6 feet high? Have you ever get beaten until your bones break just because you eat an apple from someone's backyard, that they're letting rot away anyway under their trees?"
The Hyuuga President shakes his head. Begrudgingly.
"I've lived worse. Becoming a Hyuuga slave is hardly a chore."
)))))))))))
Ouch, the fresh tattoo under my forehead protector stings.
NGL, the Hyuuga Curse Mark looks kinda sick. Even if it's purpose was preposterous. How the hell Konoha just let the Hyuuga enslaving people is beyond me. Based on what I know of the Hashirama, I don't think he's the kind of person that let shit like this slide.
He and Madara founded Konoha so that children wouldn't be sent to war anymore. Guy like that wouldn't condone slavery. Clan exclusive rights to govern themselves be damned.
Maybe it's Hiruzen fault. He's the one that starts sending 8 years olds to war. He seems to be the kind of pussy that let that practice revived.
When in doubt, blame Hiruzen and Danzo. It's probably their fault somehow.
Tobirama must be squirming in his grave that he chose such a pussy dude as his successor.
"Goodbye, Nii-san."
Sweet Hinata says goodbye to Bitch Slave, who is scowling so sour his blood is probably all acidic like a xenomorph now.
"I will make you pay, Makoto."
"Good luck on your trip. Love you too." I give my farewell monotonously.
"Hmph!" he left like the tsundere he is. Complete with a hmph even.
As part of the deal, I added a clause that Bitch Slave is to be banished to serve as servant at some other Hyuuga estate outside of Konoha. I say he just going to taunt me and Hinata everyday and for everyone's sake and Hinata training, let's just get rid of him.
He can use his Vibrio Fingers to please some old Hyuuga grandmas at Tea Country. Better use of his talents, I'd say.
Hinata sadly wave him goodbye. Why Hinata still love that dick is beyond me.
"Well, let's start your training, Hinata."
"Ah, Hotaru-kun.. I"
"Get rid of that 'kun' from my name. Just stick with Hotaru is enough. It's really tiring and cringe to write these weeb honorifics man."
"what?"
"what?"
"Err… yes Hotaru. Though, I heard you… you…"
I folded my arms.
"Deserted? Oh that's just misunderstanding. It's actually just my cover story. You see, I get hired big time to teach you Raijin Fist. But that would cause an uproar among other clans. So for my own safety, the Hokage made up a cover story so that I can hide here safely. So don't tell anyone, okay."
Hinata breathe both a sigh of relief and worry.
"its just that Naruto (I gaslit myself to not hear 'kun' from Hinata anymore coz I will go insane from keep hearing them) and Sasuke are so frantic looking for you. They are so worried."
"That's the life of Ninja, Hinata. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices, even if it hurts the people you love."
"I don't like that…"
"Yea me too. Anyway, let's get started."
As we reached the backyard, I began to start on training Hinata the basics of Lightning chakra control. It's pretty simple and basic. Just start lighting up a lightbulb.
I saw a Hyuuga slave pass by as she carry a pot of tea for her mistress. We traded glances in brief.
Hmmm. All according to keikaku.
Note: Hotaru has no plans
