Time Skip

(time skip 1 year)

...........

(the first six months)

It's been six months since I started my daily training and it's been fruitful, kind of. My shuriken jutsu is on a really good level, I mean not on the level of Itachi as shown in the show but c'mon, just admit it, that guy was a genius through and through.

if I hit ten shurikens straight, then I will hit all of'em, but by the time I reach a hundred, my percentage drops to 60 %, now just so you all know, I am talking about hitting a bullseye here. Of course, that would be taking in the factor that it's only been six months and I am technically still a four-year-old.

hehe, ain't I genius.

I mean, I worked pretty hard for this because I think, while on a higher level, jutsu isn't all that important, but shuriken works everywhere, after all, while I did not watch Boruto, I still know a Kunai took Sasuke rinnegan....yeah....BULL SHIT.

Now that the topic of shuriken is out, the only other thing I have done is chakra control by leaf exercise and taijutsu training.

I think my chakra control is up to sufficient control, while I am no Tsunade or heck even sakura( i don't know why but I felt as if I insulted the MC while writing this), it's still a very good control.

Why I did not do tree exercise and water walking?

well, my chakra isn't sufficient.

and taijutsu is kind of my favourite thing here, while the gentle fist is yet to start, the different pressure points, tenketsu and how to break bones(in theory), different ways to fight a different kind of opponent, Hizashi covered all of this, and while normally children wouldn't be able to understand or comprehend everything of it because of which they are always missing an important component of taijutsu.

I have gone to the park multiple times too, but not being cringe and all, playing with children was just......yeah...no.

.................

<flashback>

"so what do you wanna play 'extra 1'"

"let's play catch and catch(a game where one player catches the other, pfft, it was weird explaining this)

"sure"

<after 10 minutes>

"whaaaa whaaaa, mommy I fell, whaaa, mommy Kuroko made me fell"

and I was like mo**er fu*c*er, what the heck did I even do, you were the one running and you fell, plus ain't I in the world of ninjas, aren't they supposed to be child soldiers or something, or maybe I just expected too much maturity from a kid.

<flashback end>

.................

moral of the story, kids are cute but only from afar.

.................

<at the end of the NEXT 6 months>

"Kuroko, today I am taking you to the main house, they want to see the progress you did in one year"

"yes father" as I said that, I could tell just by looking at father that he was worried, now I am not stupid so one of the reasons could be the cage bird seal or maybe the elders checking if I am a threat or perhaps if I even have talent at all.

probably cage bird seal.

now that we are on this topic, I actually haven't ever met Hiashi in real life, maybe today I might meet him.

cage bird seal on the other hand is a whole different topic altogether, I mean, it does kinda gives me protection against Danzo but at the same time limits my freedom. Heck, I am not even sure if it even works with my logia body.

I mean, cage bird works by stimulating the brain nerves through fuinjutsu right, I can just turn my brain, heck my whole body into Amaterasu element, doesn't that just make the seal useless.

but then again, I actually haven't done any research on it, but it's not like I can rebel or something, so I will probably just wing it, after all, they can't even touch me if I don't want them to.

.................

We are kind of standing in front of the main house and Hizashi's face looks like someone had made him eat his least favourite item or something.....which is probably not the case.

" listen Kuroko, whatever they say, just agree to that and do your best, the process that will happen inside does not hurt, okay" his smile looked like it was constantly falling of his face.

all this time, being with him, I have truly started thinking of him as my father, and him being worried for me this much just made my heart warm. This curse of the caged bird, I don't believe in it, and I wish Hizashi could also move on from this, you can't change reality after all unless you are ready to do anything for it.

you either have to be crazy like Obito or strong like Hashirama to change reality and Hizashi was not them.

"Dad, I know I am going to get the cage bird seal today and I also know what it does. It limits our freedom like a bird stuck in a cage ready to be tortured without any warning." Hizashi looked like he was reminiscing his own past so I continued," but I could care less"

The look of shock took about a second to come,

" what are you talking about Kuroko, without freedom, are we even human, neither do we have a say in this clan or help from anyone in the village, our goal is to serve the main family, are you satisfied with just that. Is that what you believe as the meaning of life"

"Dad, I could care less about the main family and I would never believe my goal to be so small, I am gonna change this accursed clan and its people in the future, it isn't a question of 'how' or 'If', its a question of when"

Yes, before I came into this world, I have been pretty average, but NOT a cruel person, there's so much wrong in this world, children killing their fathers, people robbed of their freedom, the cost of human life so small, a mere penny might be worth more.

Reading and watching about what Danzo did really made me somewhat sad and disgusted but I used to quickly put away the feeling because Danzo wasn't exactly real, here he is, an incompetent fool as a Hokage and a disgusting person as the shadow.

Itachi was foolish and couldn't exactly see that the problem wasn't the Uchiha, it was the Hokage and its council.

Obito actually had redemption and people started loving him, but now that I really think about it, didn't he kill thousands of clan ninjas in the mist village as a sort of revenge for taking his girl. So many children orphaned, killed, naruto talk no jutsu as well the whole show portrayed it to be a sunshine place of ninjas, but as the saying goes 'where there is light, there are always shadows'.

and I am going to change this world, starting with the Hyuga clan.

Now no I don't have some hero complex neither do I have the talk no jutsu as Hizashi still hates the caged bird, but just being a bystander while so much wrong is happening just to conserve the plot and meet your favourite character is just clearly ignorant.

Heck Ignorant is an understatement.

"plus dad, what would hurt me will be seeing you so sad, so just take it easy, my previous words were no bluff."

........

"Hizashi, it's been a while" came an indifferent voice as we were sitting on the futon.

The leader of the Hyuga clan had arrived.
