Capítulo 30: The Miracle
Hiashi Hyuga was a veteran and certainly an annoyed leader of the Hyuga Clan.
Originally he should no longer be the head of his clan since he was over 62 years old. Although he was in good physical condition, he was already only a shadow of the great Shinobi he once was.
But… why was he still the leader of his clan?
The answer was simple.
Succession…
A while ago, he had his daughter Hinata who he loved very much, contrary to belief.
Although emotionally distant from her, he trained her the best he could so that she would become the next head of the Hyuga... But what happened, much to his regret, he had no control of.
Due to having offspring out of wedlock and what that implied for the loss of the exclusivity of the clan's precious Doujutsu, he was forced to banish her.
He still went out of the way to prevent his grandchildren from receiving the Caged Bird Seal (Technique of the Cursed Seal of the Main Hyuga Family) by falsifying his grandchildren's medical reports to make it appear that the gene for the Byakugan was so weak that they would never awaken it...
He was now forced to watch his daughter from a distance because, by clan law, he was obliged to never speak to her and was strictly prohibited from helping her.
He never knew who had fathered his grandchildren, but he guessed that if his daughter bravely faced a difficult life as a single mother, she must have loved him dearly.
The only possibility he could think about why he was missing was that he was killed during the Kyubi attack on the village.
There was a definite correlation between dates between that tragic event and the subsequent birth of his grandchildren...
Due to all this, he was now forced to stay in power so that the original line of succession could be maintained...
His wife, Hitomi Hyuga, always disagreed with the clan's laws and distanced herself from him due to leaving his daughter's fate to her own.
Hiashi's hands were truly tied, and he felt helpless above having to feign contempt for the fruit of love with the woman of his life.
They were separated for years, to the point of seeming like two strangers in the same house, and they were close to separation. However, there had been so many years of love that they simply couldn't help looking for each other when loneliness overtook them...
So they decided to stay together and face whatever happened, no matter how complicated.
And what happened was truly something extraordinary…
Despite their advanced age, the two were still sexually active due to their excellent physical condition, which caused a situation.
In a shocking turn of events, Hitomi Hyuga, at over 52 years old, became pregnant...
Like that, a seed of hope had been born for the Hyuga.
Hinata's mother was extremely loved in the clan, as unlike other clan leaders, she was a kind woman who ignored the separation between families and treated everyone equally. The Main Family and Branch Family sincerely joined forces in a fashion that had not been seen in a long time so that this baby would come into the world in the best conditions.
Fortunately, little Hanabi Hyuga was born healthy and without problems, to the satisfaction of the Hyuga clan.
She was a lovely child with hair similar to her older sister and a certain resemblance to her father.
She grew up surrounded by luxuries and the appreciation of her entire family as, according to the elders, she was destined for greatness by her near-miracle birth.
This, however, caused them to hide her until she was able to grow up safely. Her birth was a top-class secret within the Hyuga Clan and was only known to certain members.
This security was only raised when they learned of her incredible talent.
Her talent using the Byakugan was demonstrated when she began training when she was only four.
A couple of years later, she could defeat boys who were easily twice her age.
Her ability was attributed to her being a godsent child, with her talent only being matched by her beauty, being just as beautiful as her older sister at her age…
During the years, Hinata and Hanabi knew they had a sister, but the two had not even been able to meet in person due to Hyuga Clan Rules.
So without knowing it, the two sisters became extremely curious about each other, which also gave rise to some affection.
The little girl could spend hours in her mother's lap, listening to the stories about her older sister's life, whom she came to admire more and more as she learned more about her...
On the other hand, Hinata had come to adore her sister since, despite the restrictiveness of the Hyuga laws, Hitomi had violated them by maintaining a weak bond with her daughter through a letter that both exchanged monthly so as not to lose contact.
That is why Hinata was able to learn about her younger sister and how she was doing.
This contact was kept unknown to most of Konoha until just recently.
When Menma searched Hinata's mind, he learned of the existence of the young Hyuga Heir.
He didn't stop her from maintaining this contact as if that link were to be severed; Hitomi Hyuga might suspect something.
Little did the Hyuga know that while someone new had learned of Hanabi's existence within Konoha, her information was also being leaked by a certain Konoha elder in hopes of causing trouble to increase his chance of becoming Hokage.
Hanabi Hyuga, the girl heaven gave to her clan, was in Yoruichi Shihouin's sights...
*****************
At the academy, people were training for the upcoming graduation exam.
Menma's generation had nine outstanding boys and girls who were the main candidates to graduate and join the Genin Teams...
Ino Yamanaka was a young blonde skilled in all the Ninja branches. She also revealed great potential in her clan's Hijutsu (Secret Techniques).
She had been in the next class with students like Neji Hyuga and Tenten but had transferred to their class during the second year.
Second place went to Sarada, who, although was first in all subjects, had yet to activate Sharingan putting her slightly behind Ino.
Third was Boruto, who, due to his gloomy family environment, had lowered his performance compared to previous years.
The mid-ranked had Shino Aburame, who was in fourth place overall, a young man adept at his clan's skills but lacking in other areas, such as Taijutsu.
Then followed the enthusiastic Chouchou, who mastered the Akimichi Hijutsu skillfully. Although she had an acceptable capacity in other areas, she was terrible at Genjutsu.
In sixth place was Himawari, who was good at Taijutsu and, after having awakened the Kekkei Genkai in her blood, the Byakugan had potential that she had not been able to show as she had to keep it hidden until she graduated to avoid retaliation from the Hyuga clan.
On the other hand, among the low-performing students among the possible candidates to graduate the following year was the Raven-haired Uzumaki, who ranked seventh overall.
In the eyes of other people, he had great ability in Genjutsu. He was quite good at it, but he barely passed the minimum required in other areas to pass.
The next spot went to Kiba, skilled in the Inuzuka arts and Taijutsu but lacked polishing and honing of his style.
Finally, there was Shikamaru Nara, known for being lazy and barely doing what was necessary to pass the various academic tests…
"Well, guys, today we will review the previous lessons on how to dispel a Genjutsu…"
Most of the students, mainly the boys, listened attentively to the enchanting Genjutsu Instructor, Kurenai Yuhi, who began with a very important topic for the basic training of the Ninja.
If one was to look carefully, one would see a slight discomfort on her face since she could feel the leering glances of her students focused on her. It was something that bothered her about teaching classes.
She wanted to stand out through teaching and not simply by being the teacher her students sexually fantasized about.
However, the girls did listen carefully to the knowledge that she enthusiastically gave them, as well as the Uzumaki Prince...
Menma was a dedicated and well-behaved student because he hadn't had any problems since the obvious incident caused by Boruto Hyuga years ago. Although Asuma had reiterated that he had no future in Ninjutsu because he had trouble focusing his Chakra correctly when preparing to use basic Ninjutsu, for Genjutsu, he had shown quite a bit of potential. In addition, he would often approach her to ask his doubts and improve as much as possible, which she could appreciate...
Although he was cold, as a student and she grew fond of him for his dedication.
On the other hand, Boruto was not enthusiastic at all and was problematic as he tended to mess with other classmates. They didn't dare accuse him or talk about what Boruto did to them when they were in front of Iruka due to how much he scared them.
She did not have a good opinion of him. She believed that the boy needed therapy because he had been irritable and easily annoyed for a few years now. Still, Asuma spoke well of him because he was skilled with Ninjutsu.
The worst part was apart from the cheeky perverted looks he was giving her, he didn't pay any attention to her lessons.
Although the problem was that he wasn't bad with Genjutsu, and thus, she couldn't punish him…
She would never have taken him as a student if it had been her decision.
And so the classes passed, with the future Kunoichi listening and learning, plus the addition of the cold Uzumaki Prince...

Hope you enjoyed the chapter; when this is posted, it will have gone through a grammar checker, but it can't get everything, so there could be a few mistakes. I wrote this with very little sleep and on a notepad, which doesn't have autocorrect due to my wifi being out while writing.
Anyway, if you give a paragraph comment, I'll go fix it, but I hope you enjoy it.
