Capítulo 44: Chapter 43
Three days later:
"Hinata-neechan." Hanabi whispered as the two leapt from one of the windows of the compound. "Are you sure about this?" She asked as she looked around, somewhat scared.
Hinata nodded, she knew the path would be clear, simply because the branch house members were the ones on patrol, while the main house rested inside.
A woman, who Hinata recognized as a branch member dropped down next to them. "Hinata-sama, Hanabi-sama, please, we must hurry, it wont be long before someone of the main house realizes we are gone." She whispered hurriedly as she began dragging them along.
They reached and leapt over the wall without incident, and as soon as they did, Hinata could see the shadowy forms of other branch house members leaping through the rooftops, heading for the Kage tower.
As they were about to follow however, a single figure dropped down infront of her. She snapped her eyes up and felt them widen in fear as she came across the form of her father, deep scowl etched across his face.
Hiashi snapped his eyes, to the fearful looking branch member standing next to his two daughters and began forming the seal that would activate the cage bird seal.
"KAITEN!"
Hiashi snapped his head to the side just as the spinning shield of chakra formed, hitting him and knocking him away, smashing him into a building.
The sphere of chakra dissipated revealing-
"Neji?" Hinata said astounded that her cousin had come to help her.
"Hinata-sama, Run! I'll stall him!" He said settling himself into the Juuken stance.
Hinata stood "But Neji…"
"JUST GO!" He yelled. Soon the shock would wear off and Hiashi would deal with them, he could only buy ten or twenty seconds. He turned to the other woman. "Take them now!" He said desperately.
The woman hesitated for a moment before nodding and grabbing both Hinata and Hanabi by the waists before they could protest.
"NEJI!" She yelled struggling to release the woman's hold on her.
Neji looked back to Hiashi, who was just beginning to pick himself out of the rubble.
The man stood and glared at his nephew. "You do realize, that you just dug your own grave, Neji?" He said coldly.
The youth simply nodded and took a deep breath. "At least I die with a clean conscience." He looked straight into the older mans eyes. "Can you say the same?"
Hiashi narrowed his eyes before forming a single seal Neji grasped his head in pain, as the seal took effect, he then gripped his heart once before falling over, dead.
The Hyuuga clan head looked to the distance, where the Kage tower was. Soon, a purple, barrier formed around it. He narrowed his eyes.
Now he was worried.
Once more, word spread through the village that half of the Hyuuga clan had defected to Naruto.
Compounding this was Hinata's statement regarding her father's supposed plans, spurring fear into the people, outrage was fierce and immediate.
Now, many people feared even approaching the Hyuuga estate these same people were wary of Danzo's militaristic policies as well. Despite this however, Naruto's camp and power had not grown.
As mistrustful as they might have been, the remaining population was still terrified of the notion of a rule under the Demon of Konoha.
The small rift that had formed was now tearing actively the country in two as panic made way for disorder, and disorder carved its way to violence, with mayhem and riots spreading through the streets of the city, too few remained to enforce order.
The gap was widening.
Naruto shifted through the report Jiraiya had written for him, they now had roughly seventy-five Hyuuga's that had knowledge of the ninja arts and thirty to forty that did not and were merely maids or servants. Those he had placed to handle the administrative works. While others were assuming the roles of sentries and scouts. The most experienced training the weaker clan members.
A Hyuuga entered the door. "Naruto-sama." He said bowing.
Naruto found it strange, this…perspective. Instead of being the serf he was now the commander, not the commanded.
It was…quite odd for him.
"What is it?" He addressed the man.
"There are several Ninja that are requesting an audience with you."
"Do you have their names?"
The man nodded slightly. "Yes, one is Hatake Kakashi, another is Maito Gai and Yuuhi Kurenai. It appears that Gai has brought two of his students as well."
Three of Konoha's elites. Naruto mused. He nodded. "Very well, escort them here."
The Hyuuga bowed once before exiting the room. Moments later they entered.
He noticed, that Kurenai, judging by her body language and demeanor was upset and somewhat emotional. Maito Gai wore a somber frown on his fate as did his carbon copy behind him along with the girl, who was struggling to keep from crying. Her eyes were bloodshot red and her cheeks held dried tear stains.
So he addressed the most collected of the group.
"Kakashi why are you three here?"
The copy ninja, in his ever lazy attitude spoke up. "Well…quite frankly we came to join you."
"And what would be the reason for your decision."
Kakashi shrugged and took out his book. "A number of reasons really." He said offhandedly.
"Speak them Kakashi, or leave." Naruto said, quickly loosing patience with the man.
Kurenai-for her part was glad that he was directing his questions to Kakashi. She was not sure if she could answer them properly, relieving the events that had occurred just hours beforehand between herself and Asuma.
