The Heir

Author:

Before starting reading, I would also like to invite you to familiarize yourself with my author's work "The Path of Omniscience", where the main character is not a person, he is cold and insensitive to everything.

Blood spilled across the floor, turning it red. Closing his white eyes, Niko's body collapsed like a doll that had lost its threads. Gritting his teeth, Ame closed his eyes in sorrow. Although he disliked this idler, who always tried to be near him for some reason, he had already gotten used to her and as members of the same branch of the clan, it was painful to realize the loss.

- Ame, please take the corpse and take it to the morgue. Although she did not fulfill her duties, but as a proud member of the clan, Niko accepted fate and atoned for her mistake. Therefore, we must give her a share of respect by burying her in the clan cemetery.

The calm voice of the head of the clan resounded through the room, in which there was a slight sadness that few could notice.

- Will be executed.

Hanshi, with complex emotions in his eyes, watched the body being lifted from the ground. Anger and sadness were fighting in him, he realized that perhaps it was hasty and he succumbed to emotions. Still, although this girl did not fulfill her duties to the full, but the children liked her.

When his thoughts reached the children, an epiphany was reflected in his eyes. If Ame is here now, then his youngest is left in the care of ordinary servants. What if something happens to him? Turning to the head of the clan and the elder of the library, he said sharply and as quickly as possible.

- Fusi-dono to Gurtsu-dono, I urgently need to return home, my youngest son was left alone.

Surprised by the harsh words, the two turned to the speaker. Seeing that their clansman's expression was out of order, they looked at each other. After standing for a second carefully looking at each other, a sigh escaped from the mouth of Gurtsu.

- Khe-khe, Hanshi-dano, I would like to ask you to deign to calm down. There is no reason for such a strong panic. Your boy is certainly already being looked after. At this point in time, you and I need to solve the sad problem with the corpse of your eldest son. – Chewing his lip, he continued. – I think that as soon as Ame-kun deigns to free himself from the task assigned to him, he will certainly be sent to your youngest.

After listening to a peculiar speech, Hanshi thought and nodded, calmed down. Seeing that their comrade's mood had returned to normal, the two inwardly sighed with relief. They both knew that recently, namely after the death of his second wife, the mental health of the elder in charge of clan medicine had become unstable. In order not to lose such an important resource of the clan, it is necessary to keep it healthy.

Sitting in his room, Samato held a leaf of a tree in his palm, with a concentrated expression on his face. After a few seconds of hypnotizing the leaf, it suddenly moved from its place, slowly spinning.

It lasted about ten seconds before Samato stopped and fell wearily onto his back, breathing heavily. Inwardly, he was pleased with himself and thought about further things.

"Now the mark should not threaten me, so I can plan further actions with peace of mind. To begin with, I need to become stronger, I think that with sufficient body training, I will be able to reach the body level of an average ninja, approximately tokubetsu-jonin if we take future ninja ranks as a basis."

Although Samato did not see many battles, but from the training that Fomi dragged him to, he assumed that at this period the ninjas were slightly superior in strength to the future generation.

In this period of time, each clan tried to build up as much personal power as possible. From what Samato had read, he knew that the population living on the territory of the Hyuga clan is about 10,000 people, of which 4,000 are Hyugas.

The rest are half-breeds without byakugan and ordinary people. As for the main branch, as it is clear, it's a secret. Samato assumed that their number was from 50 to 100 people.

For the most part, the clan is engaged in protection, investigation, support, and it can also be hired for battles. But this does not happen often, since there is a more martial Kaguya clan nearby.

"Should also carefully study the clan library. I am sure that there is quite a lot of knowledge in it, after all, a millennium of history. Surely there is some basic knowledge of fuuinjutsu. I don't believe that the clan members are stupid enough to allow Uzumaki, or anyone else to be involved in the creation of such an important thing as the cursed seal of the main branch."

*hit

Haa-haa.

"Damn, why would I do that. I have not liked playing sports all my life, considering it a waste of time, and now my every day is an endless workout. Although, what am I talking about, I went for it myself."

- Samato, be careful, raise your hand higher.

- Haa, yes Uncle Ame.

Two years have passed since Fomi's death. During this time, nothing significant happened, except for the funeral of the elder's heir and the appointment of his youngest son as heir.

After a month of mourning, Hanshi took over the duties and began to transfer his knowledge to the heir. But you could see that every day his condition was getting worse and worse.

Six months later, Samato persuaded Ame to start training him a little. It wasn't easy, but to give small hints to father that if don't start training now, then, it can have a bad effect on health and the amount of chakra.

Hanshi had previously understood that a bias in the mental component can have a bad effect on the child. Hearing a request mentioning the possibility of health problems did not make him think about this problem further, and he ordered, to Ame's surprise, to start training.

At first, the workouts were not difficult, representing a simple stretching and simple exercises. But the older Samato got, the more difficult they became.

One day, Samato, as usual, in his spare time from training and classes with his father, was sitting in the courtyard, holding and scrolling a few leaves glued to his body.

After a few minutes, he stopped doing this and the leaves, ceasing to be supported by the chakra, fell to the ground. Samato's face expressed thoughtfulness and indecision.

"During the year of training, the number of chakras has increased significantly. Thanks to my control, I can control the chakra quite freely, which allowed me to slowly train my chakra channels. This should allow to increase their strength and conductivity. Especially strongly, I trained the channels leading to the eyes. I think from the information I read earlier and observations, they are now strong enough to do this."

Closing his eyes and concentrating after a few seconds, he took a deep breath and directed the chakra to his eyes. The veins around the eyes tightened, showing on the skin.
