I want Balloons

House arrest. That was what I felt. And this was done by none other than my mother after I pulled that stunt. 

From that day onwards, she didn't separate me from her, always looming over me like a ghost. During the day, she tied me to her back to do some house chores while I slept peacefully on her back.

It's been a month since that day, and due to my mother, my routine has been changed. I peacefully slept all day, only woken up by Neji, who wants to play with me. 

For one hour, I played with him, while continuously practicing my Byakugan.

At night, I trained my chakra control and Byakugan. 

And how could I forget about bullying my mother for being so overprotective? I started to cry in the middle of the night just to disturb her peaceful sleep.

'If I can't get it, nobody will get it.'

And this was my current situation. My mother opened her eyes and rushed towards me, "What happened, baby? Why are you crying?" She worriedly lifted me from the crib and asked. 

My wailing stopped, and I just looked at her worried face. I just wanted to laugh, and so I did.

"You little devil, why don't you let me sleep peacefully?" she squinted her eyes at my laughing face.

This happened every night, one or two times, and she started to feel that this little thing was doing it on purpose.

Having my fun, I feigned sleep. She put me in the crib, a sigh escaping her lips, and she slept in the bed with my father.

I was really skeptical about my father. He didn't even wake up. Is he really the clan head, or is he just pretending?

'Hey man, at least try to wake up, show some worry on your face.'

.

Now that I think about it, they hadn't done any immoral acts. 

'Or they did behind my back,' 

It would be fun to watch live porn. But to my disappointment, they hadn't done anything. 

.

Shaking my head, I focused on my training. It was a good break. 

Activating my Byakugan, I looked at all of my tenketsu points, totaling 361 in number. With all my focus, I started to guide the strands of chakra into every chakra point. 

Soon, 361 chakra strings burst out from every side of my body without damaging any clothes or the crib. They were intangible. 

If I didn't have the Byakugan, I wouldn't be able to see them. With a thought, I started to pour more chakra into them, and they became more powerful. 

Chakra strings couldn't be seen by normal eyes; only the Byakugan could detect them, or a sensor ninja could sense them. 

These were the results of my five months of training. I didn't skip a day, nor did I waste any minutes.

.

Every day, I studied chakra closely, observing how it is made and how it could be transformed into anything. 

After controlling all 361 chakra strings for almost three hours, I masterfully retracted all of my chakra back into my body. I couldn't afford to waste any of my precious chakra; my eyes were enough for that. 

And even without the Byakugan, I could do it now.

After retracting the chakra into my body, I started to control it and began expanding my chakra pathways with it. Starting from my head and going down to my toes, I focused all of my chakra at one point and tried to expand that place. I was careful enough not to hurt myself, and just like that, I completed the cycle. It was a tiresome process, but I had to do it. 

Three cycles were the limit of my body, and I had started doing this from the 5th day of my birth. My still-growing body quickly molded to my will.

I currently hold the amount of chakra that a human body could be capable of holding at the age of 5 months.

.

Before I knew it, it was morning, and people started to wake up. With my eyes, I could see them, running here and there. Currently, my range was around 1-2 km. 

After spending all of my chakra on my eyes, I finally ended the training session for today.

.

After getting a dose of milk from my mother, I was tied behind her back, our backs touching each other so I could see behind her back. 

To my initial views of clan elders, they were surprisingly good to me and my parents. 

Heck, they even played with me from time to time. Weren't they shown as bad people? Now, they were so kind to me. How could I put them in their place? How could I teach them humility?

I chuckled at my wandering thoughts. 'If they are good, I will use their goodness for my benefit.' Unbeknownst to me, a smile crept on my lips, but on a toddler like me, it looked creepy.

.

Now, I could only think before sleeping. My mother walked into the clan compound, and every branch member greeted her respectfully, murmuring something good about me.

'Have they started bootlicking me, even though I'm a toddler?' I couldn't help but laugh when I heard their praises towards me.

'Good, very good, praise me; I might not pick you as my lab rats in the future,' I thought some evil thoughts as I started to remember every jutsu that was used by everyone.

.

I remembered every hand sign for jutsu performed by every single ninja. I didn't know how many of them would work. Heck, I even remembered the hand signs for the Death Reaper Seal, but I had no intention of using it anytime soon.

"I value my life."

And why hadn't I used any elemental jutsus, like some low-level jutsu, such as 'Gale Palm,' 'Wind Breakthrough,' or 'Fireball' and 'Waterball,' etc.? It's because I wanted to first perfect my chakra control.

If I were going to learn any of these jutsus, I wasn't going to do it in traditional ways, like remembering the hand signs, and poof, you've learned the Jutsu.

'Let's leave them for the future,' I thought while enjoying the morning beauty of my clan. It was truly worthy of being called the richest and noblest clan. There were many gardens with small ponds, pink-leaved trees, and flowers of various types. 

Every member could have their own separate training ground if they wanted.

"It's morning, so it's time for sleep," I thought with a yawn.

And just like that, five more months had passed without anything eventful happening. 

I practiced my chakra control, chakra strings, expanded my pathways, and brutally trained my external and internal visions. 

Well, I could use chakra scalpel over my hand, and I could cut someone's neck in a swift motion without them knowing if I wanted to.

.

Currently, I was running with my tiny legs to catch my dear 'big brother.' I had learned to walk a month ago, and I could also speak, but I hadn't spoken to any of them.

He slowed down so I could catch him, and I caught him with a giggle.

"Hahaha... you are so fast, little sister. You could even catch me," he laughed with a wide smile. He was currently 2 years old. 

I just laughed at his childish antics.

After playing with him some more, he spoke, "Say my name, Neji... N-E-J-I." He daily tried to teach me his name, and I guess it's time to reward him. 

I slowly opened my mouth, "N-N-N-E-E-J—" then I stopped.

"Yes... yes, say it... it's Neji..." He clasped his hands in front of me.

"N-N-N-E-E-J-I… Neji…" I finally spoke my first words.

"Yes… yes…" He was overjoyed when I said his name. He grabbed my shoulder and looked directly into my eyes. He was very happy indeed, and I could see it.

"That's my sister…" he said and ran outside to tell everyone.

.

'Hehe… big brother… you are on the right track…'

.

Soon, my parents and his father came into the room with excited faces.

"I didn't lie, auntie… She really said my name," Neji said to my mother.

He then looked at me with a smile, "Tell them you said my name…" he asked.

"Neji…" I only spoke one word, and he was overjoyed.

My mother's expression changed when she realized she wasn't the one I called first. She quickly came closer to me and said, "Say… mama… little girl."

"Neji."

"No, no, it's mama."

"Neji," I repeated my words like a parrot.

All of them laughed.

.

And just like that, two more months passed, and my birthday had come and gone. It was a really tiresome day.

"I want balloons, big brother," I said to Neji while pointing at a balloon shop. Currently, we were walking outside of the clan, and I could see the two guards following us in the shadows. I had discovered from day one that they were stronger than normal guards. If my guess was correct, they were above Jonin level.

I also noticed that they didn't report to my father, and it didn't take much to guess that they were my personal guards.

'My father is surely generous… they will come in handy after two years,' I thought.

My mother was also walking beside us, both of us in her arms.

"Why don't you ask me?" she inquired.

"I want some balloons, Mother," I cheekily laughed, and she was all smiles.

"Anything for you, my baby," she said.
