1 Shuichi Hyuga

October 10th. This day is very special to the people of Konoha. Many shinobi and civilians lost their families because of Kyuubi. It was also the day the village lost its beloved fourth Hokage.

Some shinobi lost their limbs, some lost their beloveds, some lost their homes while some lost their sense since it scarred them for life.

But few of them gained a bit. firstly, the other four hidden villages who were happy seeing their enemy grow weaker.

The second one is the leader of the Root which is considered as a branch of Konoha's Anbu training subdivision, Danzo Shimura who gained some of the orphans who lost their parents without any effort.

The third one is a shinobi named Kazuma who collected the residual chakra which The Nine tails left behind during its attack. he sealed it within his very own son Sora, turning him into a pseudo-jinchuuriki.

The fourth and final notable character who probably gained most of all. The head of Hyuga clan Hiashi Hyuga who gained an outstanding son.

October 10th, 11 P.M.

After everything is finished, Hiashi Hyuga who was supposed to return to the clan compound for the meeting went into a different direction secretly and reached a lace near Naka river. an old woman was standing near the shore while holding something with her two hands.

When he reached there, he sternly asked: "What does an Uchiha elder want with me?". with a face which is already tired of crying. she slowly spoke

"Emiya is dead". Hiashi was shocked at first "how?". but then, he composed himself and said "for what reason are you informing this matter to me in secret?. our relationship was done a year ago".

She slowly raised the thing in her hands and moved it towards him while removing the blanket covering it. He saw a 3months old baby boy sleeping comfortably.

Then, she said, "She was pregnant when you two broke up". This one sentence shooked him to the core. He asked while his voice is shaking "then, this boy is?". she replied "your son".

he was stunned for a few seconds. his surprise face turned into anger "Then, why I wasn't I informed about it till now?".

She replied, "Do you expect me to inform a Hyuga trash who impregnated my daughter?". Only then, he remembered the person in front of him is Fugaku's and Emiya's mother who also lost her daughter tonight.

He carefully took the baby in his hands and looked at him once more. He can't stop smiling since he found he became a father. then, he looked at her once again and asked her with a confused face "then, why did you hand over him to me?. Aren't you Uchiha more possessive when it comes to blood relations?".

She sighed "Once you see his eyes, you will understand it yourself. Until now, Emiya and I stopped Fugaku from seeing him even once. But since Emiya is no more and I'm old, I can't protect this child alone anymore. Fugaku will execute this child once he sees him".

Hiashi was enraged "how dare he". Then, she said "In the future, if your wife and your children ever turn against him or even if the whole clan turned against him, promise me, you will not turn your back on him. promise me, you will protect my grandson at least until he can protect himself".

Hiashi nodded seriously "I promise I won't give up on my son under any circumstances even I have to stand against my whole clan and a Hyuga never breaks his promise". She smiled weakly "go, your clansmen and wife must be worried. I just used genjutsu to put him sleep. Give him to me. if you release it forcefully from a baby, there might be side effects".

She looked at the baby and dropped a tear "by the time you grew up, probably I won't be alive. I guess this is our last meeting. Goodbye, my little Shu".

Then, she hands over the baby to Hiashi "his mother named him Shuichi. After a few minutes, he will wake up and starts crying. So, to stop his cries, take this and make him drink it". she handed a milk bottle to him.

"Oh, it would be better if you keep his mother name secret from the rest of the clan. You can tell your wife and your trusted ones though. After all, this boy contains two of the most powerful bloodlines in him, it would make him a target of kidnap".

Then, he parted away from there. A few minutes later, the baby started to cry loudly. He panicked at first thinking it would attract passersby.

But, Kyuubi's attack just ended a couple of hours ago. All were busy in sadness for the ones they lost. He brought out the milk bottle and put it near his mouth, little Shu instinctively opened his mouth and began to drink it.

Just when the milk went into his mouth, he opened eyes in surprise. Hiashi who was feeding him the milk with his hands while looking at his surroundings peeked at the baby's face and stopped moving in a shock.

He was surprised to see white irides with no visible pupils or should say simply white eyes. He whispered "Byakugan". That's right. Even though he was born from an Uchiha mother, he has a distinct quality of being a Hyuga. Till now, Hiashi was worried about how to convince his clansmen but now, it became even easier. The only issue is his wife Eitsu who was currently 6months pregnant.

Soon, he reached the clan compound where people are distressed. Upon seeing him, they breathe in relief "Hiashi-sama, where did you go at this time. everyone was worried you know".

Then, a Hyuga elder asked "eh! Hiashi-sama, who's the child in your arms". Hiashi who was always known to be stern-looking smiled while caressing the baby "He's my son. Hyuga clan's heir".

A huge commotion immediately broke out at the Hyuga clan compound. An angry elder shouted "Hiashi-sama, you can't just bring a baby out of no-where and adopt him as your son. Moreover, declaring an outsider as the clan's heir? what kind of nonsense is this?".

One member who stood near Hiashi suddenly spoke loudly "Bunzo-sama, look at his eyes. he is a pure Hyuga. Not an outsider".

Elder Bunzo screamed in a surprise "What? a pure-blooded Hyuga kid? you are right. Who are his birth parents? there was no birth record 3-6 months ago".

Hiashi sternly replied "didn't you heard it clear? I said he was my son, I didn't pick him up somewhere. He was born to me, Hiashi Hyuga. Understand?. Some clueless guy blurted "what? lady Eitsu already gave birth to the heir?". Someone beside him smacked his head "you idiot, lady Eitsu is still 6 months pregnant".

Then, suddenly it became quiet. Someone whispered, "does that mean Hiashi sama had affair with someone?". The person beside him replied, "Don't you know they were only married for like 9months?. How did that consider as an affair?". Clan members began to murmur "does that mean, lady Eitsu's child will become a member of the branch family? since there will be only six months difference".

Then, one old man came out "what's going on here?". Hiashi looked at him and greeted him "father". Then, he proceeds to explain the whole matter. The clan members expected him to scold Hiashi but instead, the old man became excited "let me hold my grandson".

When he looked at the baby who was silently drinking the milk while curiously looking at his surroundings, the old man was surprised for a second and laughed for a while "hahaha, he's indeed your son. He looks exactly just like when both you and Hizashi were born".

Then, he suddenly frowned "wait a minute, this boy looks like 3-4 months old". He looked seriously at Hiashi "is it her son?". Hiashi nodded. He got angered for a second and unconsciously pulled the bottle out. When the baby began to cry, he came into his senses and put the bottle into his mouth again.

He looked at Hiashi and elders and rest of the clan members "Our village suffered heavily tonight. We too Hyuga, suffered injuries but thankfully there is no casualty in the clan. Everyone, it's already late. Go to your homes and rest for today. As for the Elders and Hiashi, we are holding a meeting right now to discuss something very important".
