--1 month later--

--Narrator Position--

Much had changed for the brothers in this past month since their father death. Neji, had become far more distant. After Zenoshiki had awakened from his sleep, Neji hasn't said a word to him.

He keeps his distance and almost ignores his existence. Zeno, had originally attempted to talk to Neji, but quickly realized it was pointless. For one reason or another his brother had decided to avoid him.

All he could do was wait and hope that it would pass. Neji had even transferred to a different class in the academy from him. Zeno, had originally had no clue on what to do. He had lost his father, and now his brother won't even speak to him.

A day after his awakening, a servant had come over and explained him about his new power. Explosion release. A powerful Keki Genki which allowed him to increase his destructive power drastically.

With this new information, and the fact that he had no one left to speak to, had caused him to dive into his training like never before.

He would now disappear for entire days at a time into the woods and return only once his fists were so bloodied that he could barely use them. He would spend hours beating on random trees and training his Scorching fist and his explosion release.

Now that his Byakugan has been activated he can truely start training it. However his byakugan can currently only see up to 15 feet. Because of this, his progress in the style shot up leading to him growing stronger every single day. Sadly no amount of training could help appease his overwhelming grief and sadness.

However, it was three days before he started the academy, that things change for him.

--Normal Position--

*Wack* *Wack* *Wack*

The sounds of fist on wood can be heard deep in the woods as the 4 year old Zenoshiki, with byakugan activated, attacks all the trees around him relentlessly attacking them. However each of his strikes leaves behind blood from his palms and knuckles.

It has been nearly three days since he had disappeared from the Hyuga clan, however, since this was usual, no one really noticed. However unlike the previous times, this time he didn't even bother bringing food.

Well, unnoticed by all except one. Zenoshiki, finally deactivates his byakugan as he falls to his knees from exhaustion and hunger. Tears streak down his eyes as he stares at the tree in front of him

"Why? Why did this have to happen to me? My father's dead and my brother suddenly ignores my existence. All the others treat me like an outsider... What did I do to deserve this?" Zenoshiki asks no one in particular.

Then, his stomach growls causing him to groan in pain. However, then, from behind him, he hears someone approaching. Zeno shiki then turns around and looks surprised. Their, standing in the woods behind him, is a small three year old girl holding a basket.

She has short purple hair, and pupiless eyes just like him. "Lady Hinata! What are you doing here?" Zenoshiki asks in surprise quickly attempting to wipe his tears away.

She however ignores him and walks over to him and places the basket on the ground in front of her, "Zweno, you shwould eat. It's been thwree days. I got worried."

Zenoshiki's eyes widen in surprise as he opens the basket and looking inside to see 10 neatly placed rice balls. He then quickly grabs some and devours them. After only a few minutes he finally finishes.

After he does so, Hinata walks over to him and wraps her arms around him, "Bwig bwrother, why are you so swad?"

Zeno simply stands there in surprise as tears slowly stream down his face. "Hinata... Do you really see me as your big brother?"

She nods, "Yah, ywour alway nwice to me and hwelp me out. Your my bwig brother."

Zeno then proceed to wrap his arms around her and replies, 'Thank you Hinata. And don't worry, I promise I won't make you worry anymore."

Hinata nods, "Okway thank you. Let's gwo home."
