Chapitre 21: A Good or Bad Day?
"Menma…!"
All the students began to laugh as Menma was hit with a piece a chalk in the center of his forehead.
"Pay attention…!"
The young prince put his hand up to the spot where he had been hit with a piece of white chalk touched it with an odd look in his eyes.
He was visibly bored listening to Asuma Sarutobi's useless babble about basic Chakra control because he already had the knowledge in his head to master two legendary powers such as Mokuton and Kinton… This wasn't even mentioning his abilities from Kaguya clan….
A slightly better than average Jounin wasn't going to add anything new to his vast knowledge, so he simply ignored him and little by little he began to fall asleep. When he had barely closed his eyes, the bearded ninja noticed and threw the chalk at him to wake him up, since he was very angry that the brats fell asleep in the special Ninjutsu classes that he taught.
" I'm sorry…" Menma apologized, not looking to interested in anything.
"Apologize for being a emo creep!" Boruto yelled mockingly.
"Ha, ha, ha...!" The Inuzuka began to laugh
"You're not even good enough to take classes…"-
"You moron!" exclaimed another boy.
"Pay attention!"
The one next to him made him second.
Soon most of the boys in the room and several girls were laughing at Menma, who simply began to put his head back down on the desk...
However, the Uzumaki Prince was already beginning to plan a way to get even with that pathetic Ninja... He would look for a way to take revenge for causing him so much trouble for such a simple matter.
Why should he care about such a useless class anyway…
…
"Let me make it clear to you!" Boruto bellowed triumphantly.
"I'll always be better than you."
The same group that days ago cornered Chouchou Akimichi after school, had done the same with Menma.
It was extremely easy for Menma to figure out the intentions of these stupid brats, but since the matter of the Uchiha massacre was still simmering, he saddly could not kill the son of the Inuzuka Clan leader without consequences that would destabilize the village.
He had been forcing Koharu so much in getting to many measures passed to indirectly weaken them for him to just ruin it by murdering a some idiot because he pissed him off…
On the other hand, if he killed Boruto there wouldn't be such a stir... But that wasn't recommended either, because idiot or not, in the end he was a Hyuga.
That could set off the alerts of the village after the massacre of the Uchiha Clan and the last thing he needed was for a line of investigation to be opened that could potentially reach him and the nascent clan.
In the end, he allowed himself to be cornered, knowing that with the regenerative power of the Mokuton the beating he would receive would leave no trace in a matter of minutes.
Thinking of this he finally came to the conclusion it was for the best and prepared to put himself in the role of a child unable to defend himself before a group of five boys led by the Inuzuka and the Hyuga.
"Leave me alone!" Menma yelled with feigned annoyance, trying to get out of the grasp of two children who held him by the arms.
"Shut up...!" Boruto said as he punched the right side of his face with a right hook, causing a trickle of blood to emerge from the corner of his lips
"Kh…" Menma gritted his teeth to feign indignation.
"Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Because you're a loser!" The Hyuga then kneed his half brother in the stomach.
Kiba and the other children were initially put off by the trapping of the raven haired prince, but since since they didn't know him well enough to stop Boruto for him.
Boruto was the most talented kid in class and they had to follow him with feigned excitement or risk the same happening to them.
However, as the blond Hyuga began to hit Menma in the face with his fists relentlessly, the children little by little has the smiles erased from their faces...
It took several minutes for Boruto to finally stop, but only after Menma's eye was black and his nose bleeding profusely.
The main reason he stopped was that eventually Menma had to pretend to lose consciousness, so he didn't end up losing control and destroying all these people he saw as inferior.
"Hey..." Kiba interrupted his friend, who was holding the fainted boy by the lapels of his clothes.
"What?" The Hyuga questioned with annoyance, before using his right fist to give Menma another blow.
"I think that's enough... right? We shouldn't get into trouble" Said Kiba.
"Hm…" Boruto looked at his half brother for a moment.
Several trickles of blood ran down the Uzumaki's face from his forehead and his left eye was closed due to inflammation in his eyebrow. He was also breathing a little hard.
Boruto then released him so that he fell to the ground heavily.
"You're right, let's get out of here before they see us…" The boy smiled mischievously.
"We better go spy on the hot springs"
"I like the sound of that…" replied the Inuzuka with a rising smile.
"And what do we do with him?"
"Leave him there, someone will see him sooner or later...:" Boruto said as he turned around, ready to go on his next 'mission' of the day.
"You heard him guys! Let's go to the hot springs!" Kiba said as he turned to see the other boys.
The other children looked at each other in confusion, but finally shrugged as the group leaders made light of the fact that Menma was unconscious and bleeding at their feet.
They ultimately left, leaving Menma in that place as if nothing had happened…
Minutes after the bullies left, the Uzumaki prince stopped pretending that he was unconscious and partially rejoined, leaning against a wall in the alley where he was.
"You're going to cry blood, you filthy mongrel…" The prince mused, trying to calm down to start his recovery.
"Oh, my god…"
Just when he was about to perform the hand seals that would release the healing power of his Mokuton, Menma heard a shout and stopped.
"Hmm…?" The boy thought to himself as he focused to look towards the origin of that voice.
"Wow... What an interesting development…" He smiled to himself when he realized who was in front of him.
***************
Hinata Hyuga was walking back to her house. Knowing that her son had asked her permission to sleep that day in the Inuzuka compound and in turn, her little girl would stay with the Akimichi family for the night.
Knowing that she had a day off for the first time in a long time and she planned to relax a bit by taking a walk...
She walked towards to the village's hot springs to take a relaxing bath when she passed by a back path and saw the child lying in that place out of the corner of his eye. She was horrified and went to the little raven haired child's help immediately.
"Menma-kun!" The woman quickly ran towards the little boy to kneel next to him and put her head between his breasts to comfort him...
Hinata Hyuga was always a shy Kunoichi and in her generation she was one of the most introverted...
He looked from afar at Minato Namikaze, an orphaned boy who wanted to become Hokage. He was kind, cheerful and highly skilled in Ninjutsu, which is why she fell in love with him practically from the moment she met him. However, she never had the courage to get close to him and she saw from afar.
Then Kushina Uzumaki, a girl who Minato liked a lot a lot due to her uninhibited nature, took the biggest prize of the blond's love...
"Come on, I'll take you home…!" The woman held the little boy in her arms and took him quickly after placing his head on her right shoulder.
In that position, she couldn't see the sinister smile that appeared on Menma's injured face.
*******************
Menma was sitting in the living room of Hinata's house, curiously looking at the place as he discreetly used his Chakra to slowly heal himself. In the kitchen of the house, the woman was heating up some water to make compresses for the boy and help him as much as possible before taking him to his house...
The Hyuga lost many things after her affair with Minato. She was exiled from her clan after becoming pregnant to prevent her children from being getting the caged bird seal to incorporate them into the Branch Family (Secondary Family) of the Hyuga.
On top of that, she lived very recluse in fear that people would end up finding out who Boruto and Himawari's father was. Only the Sandaime Hokage knew the secret and it was impossible for someone to get it from him, but her fears became more pronounced as Menma grew up.
Although Kyuubi had modified his hair color their faces still held similarities that she as a mother could see right away.
"I'm going to help you, Menma-kun…" The beautiful widow arrived carrying a couple of steaming containers, several towels peeking out of them.
The woman took the boy and spread him along the sofa he was lying on to place the hot towels on the bruised areas. Before that, she took one of the wet cloths and carefully sat next to his head. She then began to clean the Menma's face with the dedication of a mother and a beautiful smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Menma was looking at the woman with discreet surprise, but real...
He hadn't expected someone who could raise such a lowly worm coil to be so good-natured in comparison. That short moment when she gave him that soft caress with that sweet expression reminded him of those moments before he woke up as the Uzumaki Prince, when his life was simple.
Although he had no desire to go back to that life it was still worthy of nostalgia and for that he felt he owed her favor.
Of course in the twisted princes mind, the best way to repay that favor would be giving her a special position in the Uzumaki clan.
Thinking of his options, the idea hit him all at once. He had a perfect idea already written within the legacy of the Uzumaki.
"Yes… She'll do perfectly… and it will be perfect revenge for that lowly mongrel…" Menma thought as he had to try terribly hard not to break out into his signature wicked grin.
He had decided that this woman was perfect to be part of the Uzumaki Clan. According to the theories in his legacy, the scientists believed the his blood in paticular combined with the Hyuga would breed a new super bloodline different from his own.
The legacy had explicitly stated that given the chance a strategic marriage to the Hyuga would be of great help for the Uzumaki's rise in the long term.
Obviously he was going to ignore the idea but if this woman was offering herself he wouldn't mind getting married in a couple years depending on her performance.
His decision for that definently wasn't based off the fact that the worm would have to call him Dad.
Becoming that pathetic mongrels father was just an extra. 🙂
"Thank you, Hinata-san…" The prince murmured, trying to hold back a laugh from the ideas of ways to torture her idiot of a child.
"You're welcome, Menma-kun..." The woman closed her eyes, happy that the boy appreciated her gesture since her own son disliked those displays of affection.
The beautiful blue-haired woman continued to take care of the boy until she removed the last trace of blood from his face. Then she gently proceeded to remove his shirt to wipe the rest of his body... For a moment, her mind betrayed her when she noticed the slender body lined with toned muscles and scattered scars received from the incident that caused the Uzumaki Prince's awakening..
For a moment she couldn't help but be in a trance. Although he was so young seeing his body would make her think he was 16.
It couldn't help but remind of her Minato. Although the hair color was different the resemblance was uncanny. Thinking of this she couldn't help but blush.
"W-Well, now we are going to put the compresses on you" Hinata stammered as she tried to control herself and recover her reason.
"Thank you, Hinata-san…"
The woman meticulously placed the hot compresses on the boy's skin where she found the marks of the unknown blows her son had given him. The prince had allowed himself to be beaten reluctantly, but now felt glad knowing that he would be leaving this house and with this womans body, mind and soul completely his to play with.
The procedure lasted several minutes in which the boy's regenerative power accelerated the process quite a bit and those marks disappeared from the body to the shock of the Hyuga. She then regained her peace of mind by attributing the impressive healing ability to being the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki.
"Are you feeling better now, Menma-kun?" The woman asked expectantly, seeing that the swelling on the boy's face had practically subsided.
"Yes, thank you very much, Hinata-san…" The boy faked a touching smile and lowered his gaze to give it greater effect.
"And what happened to you? Who did that to you?" She asked showing her concern, worried that her son may have some involvement. She had noticed that he seemed particularly hostile to Menma, always mentioning how much he hated him.
"I-I don't know" The raven haired boy adopted a sad expression.
"I was walking home and then I can't remember... I only woke up when you found me"
He lied without shame so that the reveal could have a bit more flare to it. Recently he had has come to enjoy the slow burn to give birth to one great moment.
If a certain suicide bomber heard his thoughts he would immediatly introduce him to the Art of Explosion!
Sadly there was no way for said to person to know these thoughts and Menma would forever remain unenlightened to the great art of explosion.
"I see…" Inside, the Hyuga sighed with relief at the thought that Boruto had nothing to do with it.
"B-By the way, Hinata-san…" The boy said turned his head in a way to show his embarrasment for the blue-haired woman.
"What's wrong, Menma-kun?" the beautiful mom asked curiously.
"I-I wanted to give you something as thanks…" Menma spoke before he took out a metal pendant and showed it to the woman
"Menma-kun, it's very pretty, but I can't accept it..." The woman felt flattered, but she thought the pendant was quite valuable.
"Please, Hinata-san, look at it…" The prince said as he hung the pendant a few centimeters from the eyes of the beautiful blue-haired lady.
"Keep your eyes on the pendant, follow the pendant with your eyes…" The prince spoke as he began to release his Chakra through of the metal jewel.
"This pendant is special…it will help you feel relaxed with each breath you take."
The Uzumaki Prince noticed that Hinata's gaze was quickly caught up in the oscillating sparkles that the pendant released.
"You will feel like you're floating on a cloud, a cloud so comfortable that it totally relaxes your mind, taking all your thoughts with it…" He spoke in a charming tone.
He placed the pendant in front of the voluptuous Hyuga's face.
"You don't have to worry about anything anymore, you don't even need to think about anything anymore…" He said as his mouth began to morph into a wicked grin.
He activated his Sharingan and met the already opaque eyes of the woman which narrowed as a sign that he had captured her.
"From now on you can let me do the thinking… You just need to hear and obey…" Menma spoke with a chuckle as he delicately caressed Hinata's face knowing that she was now his.
Now and forever.
