Hyuga Clan Meeting

Right as Neji was about to test his improved Byakugan, a servant of the Hyuga patriarch knocked on his door. Without waiting for him to respond, the servant started talking.

"Neji-san, the patriarch has called everyone for a meeting."

"Understood. I will come."

After the footsteps of the servant went away, Neji fell into deep thought.

'Naruto should be going nuts right now.'

Naruto's home.

From the moment Neji revealed the names of Naruto's father and mother in the trial, he was unable to hold back the hatred in his heart any longer and went completely berserk. Naruto's sanity was little by little swallowed by the red chakra that was gushing out of his body.

It formed a faint fox shape around his body with three tails behind him. With a roar, he rushed out of his room only to meet the Third Hokage with his Anbu. Sarutobi Hiruzen had already feared that such a thing happens and ran towards Naruto's depilated house with his subordinates the moment the trial ended. Looking at the maniac red figure, Hiruzen sighed.

'This is really troublesome...'

"Sealing team on standby. All other ninjas attack without hurting him seriously, the moment he is somewhat under control put a seal on him."

"Understood!"

Back at the Hyuga clan.

Wearing a white Kimono, Neji was walking down the long halls toward the meeting hall. As he was deep in thought a familiar figure appeared in his sight. She had short black hair, lavender Byakugan eyes and a cute face. Standing at the entrance to the meeting hall timidly with her head lowered.

'She is probably afraid of going in. If it was the original Neji, he would probably scoff at her and then make remarks about how unfair fate is in his mind.'

Neji finds this funny because from the original Neji's memory, he knows that Neji actually loves Hinata very much, but the death of his father clouded his mind with hatred and powerlessness.

At this moment Hinata also noticed him and her face brightened up for a moment before she became sad again when she thinks of how Neji treated her. She doesn't blame him, she herself hates herself for that day. But she still intends to greet him, gathering her courage she spoke.

"He-hello Neji nii-san."

'I can't even greet someone without stuttering, I'm such a failure...'

She lowered her head even further in depression, waiting for Neji's usual rude remarks, but instead she only felt a hand on top of her head slowly stroking her hair. When she looked up in confusion, she saw Neji looking at her with a gentle smile making her face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hello, Hinata-sama. You look very cute today."

"Wh-what? Uu-uum..."

"Wait don't faint here!"

When Neji saw that her face turned even redder and her words became incoherent, he quickly put away the hand from her head to prevent her from fainting.

'So cute.

I'm definitely marrying her. Boruto doesn't need to exist.

Wa-wait is this incest?

Hmm. Doesn't actually matter, I just need to make sure that we never do reverse cowgirl, when she is old enough for that. You don't turn your back to your family after all.'

Different from his thoughts, on the surface he looked at Hinata with concern. She was still confused by his sudden gentleness, but she likes it very much at the same time. She has no friends and even her father treats her harshly since childhood.

Normally she likes to watch Naruto, hoping that she will one day be as confident and cheerful as him, but that doesn't mean she doesn't yearn for care. Thinking of how Neji called her cute just now, she seems to feel her consciousness escape again.

"Okay, okay. Hinata-sama, now is the meeting, let's talk after that, okay?"

"Ye-yes."

"Good."

Giving her a last gentle smile, Neji walked into the room. Almost all the ninjas above Genin-level of the Hyuga clan had gathered here. As a branch house member, he walked to the back of the hall. The front is reserved for the Main house members and it's considered strong disrespect of the clan rules to sit there as a branch member. Even if he is the nephew of the clan patriarch.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. The God of Judgement that appeared had put every ninja on the edge originally but after God announced that he will not judge murder as a heavy sin, they relaxed a bit.

After waiting for another two minutes, the patriarch Hiashi Hyuga stood up from his position and walked to the front.

"You should understand, why I have initiated this meeting. First, I hope that nobody from our clan will be selected for a trial.

But more importantly, I saw hope. Hope for revenge for the incident nine years ago."

Everyone understood that he was talking about the so-called Hyuga affair. It is a stain on their family history and even Hizashi Hyuga the head of the branch house was sacrificed. Thinking of this some people turned their heads to Neji. Hiashi did the same, he blamed himself every day for the death of his brother, of course, he cares about the opinion of his nephew. He owes him too much.

Neji understood the situation and immediately put on an expression of suppressed hatred.

"Everyone will pay! Let the God of Judgement decide."

He purposefully did not reveal any names, Neji at this period of time thinks that Hiashi forced his father to death, so he had to hold back.

Hiashi heard his words and nodded.

"May his soul rest in peace."
