Chapter 18: Code Byakugan: Hotaru of the Revolution

Part 8: This chapter is boring so I got no funny titles for this. So I write this as a title to make it an ironic funny title.

I had been avoiding Hanabi precisely because I have no idea what to do about her.

You see, it never crossed my mind that Hanabi will ever get branded. My predecessor sure as hell never read a fanfic where she's the one who gets disowned. There's like 300k Naruto fanfics in so there's probably someone who did made up that kind of plot, but I sure did am not aware that it ever existed.

So, in the back of my mind, I had thought that Hanabi's position in the family is iron clad and secure. Just because I kickstarted a Competent Hinata trope doesn't mean Hanabi's going to automatically get the short hand of the stick, that's what I thought. Especially when I barely even started the trope.

This is the problem about living in this fanfic world I've found myself in. Just as I throw curve balls like a mad baseball pitcher, The Plot throw just as insane curve balls to me too. This fanfic writing philosophy is I have no plans and nah, I'd adapt. At this rate at some point I'm going to end up pokevolve into Mahoraga with the amount of stupid improvisation I had to do over the 3 years I had lived since I become self-aware that I am a figment of the imagination of a brainrot-ADHD-riddled neckbeard.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. At this rate, I may have the potential to surpass Gojo. My superhero name will be Potential Man.

"What do you want? You had been standing there with a blank stare for five minutes.", Hanabi dryly asked with a tone where she just fed up with the unfair plot twist she had been subjected too.

Oh good, she got passed stage Denial, Bargaining and Anger of the five stages of grief. Now she's somewhere between Depression and Acceptance.

That is good, coz I sure as hell had no idea how to deal with that. But depressed little girl? I can work with that. To quote Norman Osbourne, I am somewhat of a depressed fuck myself.

"I have no idea.", I answered Hanabi.

"Then go away and don't bother me.", she shoo me away as she continues to sweep the really clean floor. I don't know if she's just that distracted or she is trying to sweep at an atomic level of hygiene.

Knowing this fanfic, the possibilities can be ridiculous.

"Wanna go get some ice cream?", I just shoot.

"We're supposed to be working.", she continue to sweep.

"Cersei's gonna swim for the next…", I saw Cersei holding hands with Jaime as they enter the small chalet by the pool. And then, noises that is not PG-13 compliant began to echoes intensely across the Hyuuga estate recreational park. Hanabi face went red.

Man, those two twins really love each other. At this rate I might actually get to see Joffrey in a year.

"So, wanna get ice cream?", I asked Hanabi again.

She couldn't agreed faster.

))))))))))))

"So, how do life goes now that you're a Branch member now?", I start some small talk as we're having berries ice cream.

"Natsu handled most of my household chores training. After I got the basics, my ownership got transferred to Cersei.", Hanabi clarified.

In case you're curious what exactly does Ownerships do, to put it simply, it's who that has the key to fry your brains with just a handsign. This is so that Main House members don't just go off murdering each others pet slaves out of pettiness. Only the Clan Chief has the Master Key to fry everyone's brain. This is the case for Hyuuga Branch House members.

The Clan Chief however does not have access to Master Key for non-Hyuuga slaves they sold outside. Wouldn't want your client complains that the slave merchants you bought your slaves from can remotely kill your property out of nowhere. This would be the case for me when Cersei moved away to Suna.

"And how is it, working for Cersei?"

"Don't try to console me, Hotaru. I'm not that weak of a girl to need your shoulder to cry on.", despite the words, she hardly says it with much venom.

"Pffttt. Who's consoling? I'm covering my own ass. I need to know how to avoid Cersei go,", I point my finger to my forehead while clicking my tongue.

Hanabi snorted. "Despite being a drama queen, Cersei is not that trigger-happy. She's too busy either being full of herself or hooking up with her brother-slave to notice the Branch…. us around. As long as we do our jobs, Cersei would just treat us like pebbles beside the road. Fa…. Lord Jeff had probably given me to Cersei because she's that kind of an offhand master."

"As a wedding gift.", I added.

Hanabi nods somberly.

)))))))))))

If anyone asked me about my opinion regarding Hinata, I will say,

Hinata is a pushover doormat and the only thing that is interesting about her character is her big tits.

I don't hate Hinata as a character. If anything, I mildly like her, coz ya know, tits? She is not that of an interesting character to watch tho. I wasn't that into socially crippled stuttering mess trope.

Then, you might ask, Makoto Hotaru, who did you think was best to marry Naruto then?

That would be Sasuke. Seriously, who the fuck is that obsessed about saving their friend? The amount of length Naruto goes for Sasuke can only be boiled down to he is gay for Sasuke and had been madly in love with him ever since they kissed. Sasuke probably married Sakura just to get Naruto off from him finally. Naruto, the gayest shounen manga ever.

If you ask me about someone else than Sasuke, I guess it would be the heroines from Narutio Shippuden movies. Shion, Amaru and Sara are the superior heroines of the Naruto franchise, and that is probably because they weren't written by Kishimoto. Kishimoto probably should consider a career in Yaoi manga, since he seems to be good at that.

Btw, I like Sara best from the movies.

Anyway, back to Hinata.

as far as the ending waifu go, I was satisfied. Everyone is better than Sakura! If the show ended with Naruto marrying Sakura, I will take a plane to Japan and hang Kishimoto myself.

I already contemplated about it over Sasuke x Sakura ending.

Now, I'm overseeing Hinata for Lightning control exercise. It's not like I need to do this coz apparently the Hyuuga is already satisfied with the Serrated Fist, the newly named Gentle Fists variant, and no longer interested in my nerves interference gimmick. I'm just want to see Hinata to see how's she's doing.

"So, when you're going to see Hanabi?", I asked, not being subtle at all.

Hinata flinched as she heard that.

"Father doesn't allow me to see her. She's not my sister anymore."

Sigh. Great, she relapsed back into being a pushover. I was just getting started to give her some backbone and Jeff proceed to crash all that progress.

"Who cares about what Jeff said? Just see her if you want."

"I don't think Hanabi wants to see me.", Hinata assumes. "I'm the one who pushed her away afterall."

Admitting about your fault is a good attitude. Not doing anything on the other hand however is just you being a pussy. I don't really have much patience with I am so sad, why am I sad characters. I am a man…. A boy of indirect actions. When I have problems, I let someone else solves it.

Eh, I give up. I didn't owe anyone to pull a reconciliation plot. Let them figure it out themselves.

"Hotaru.", Hanabi calls me from the back. Hinata flinched as she hears the cold, emotionless voice from Hanabi.

I faced back toward her. "Lady Cersei ask for you to accompany her to go shopping for wedding supplies.", Hanabi passed the order without even glancing to Hinata.

"Weren't I've been banned from going outside? And officially, I'm wanted for desertion, you know.", I remind her.

"That had been arranged. And you will go outside in disguise."

"Okay."

Hanabi and I start tomlrave as Hinata, "H-hanabi, I… I…."

Hanabi looked back at her with venom. And Hinata flinched back with fear.

"If there's nothing for you to ask, Lady Hinata, Makoto and I shall leave to tend to our mistress.", she punctuates mistress with venom. "Good day to you, Clan Heiress"

As we leave, there's only one thought in my mind.

Man, Hinata is such a wimp.
