Punishment

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.

...

Restraining the pain, Ame raised his head and said as calmly as possible.

- Hanshi-dano, calm down. I'm investigating what happened, please believe me.

Trembling all over, Hanshi took a deep breath. And looking at the corpse of Fomi, he said in a tired voice.

- Fomi used chakra stimulation pills. What can you say about this?

Hearing about the pills, a glint flashed in Ame's eyes, and he thought for a second and said.

- Little Samato said that his copy of the key to your office is missing.

Hanshi looked around without words with the help of byakugan and reaching into the pocket of Fomi's shirt, took out the key. Looking at the key in his hands, a self-deprecating chuckle escaped his lips.

- So it's my fault again for the death of my loved ones. If I hadn't allowed Samato to have the key, Fomi would still be alive.

- No! It's not your fault, it's because of my oversight. I should have appointed another person as a nanny earlier, not Niko.

Hearing about Niko, a dangerous gleam flashed in Hansha's eyes, and he asked in a cold, murderous tone.

- What was Niko doing instead of following Fomi?

Gritting his teeth, Ame answered thoughtfully.

- Hanshi-dano, please calm down.

- No, she must pay for non-compliance with her duties. Bring her here.

- Hanshi-given I'm not…

But before he could finish, he interrupted him in a cold tone.

- I didn't make myself clear.

Clenching his jaw, Ame got up from the floor and left the room, under the cold gaze of Hansha. When the door to the operating room closed, he looked at his son's corpse with pain in his heart.

Thin trails of tears flowed from his eyes again. Reaching out, he stroked the boy's face. During his life, he lost many friends and relatives, most of whom he operated on.

Each death weighed on him, making him feel guilty and laying down a heavy burden. The first major blow occurred when his first wife died.

This happened during the birth of Fomi, it was then that Hanshi felt more pain from not being able to save his wife. The second case occurred with his second wife, who also died in childbirth in his arms, due to a strange depletion of the chakra. Right now, he couldn't save his little son.

Looking at the corpse, a lot of thoughts flew through his head. And having decided something, his face acquired shades of confidence and muttered softly to himself.

- I will do everything to keep my blood alive.

...

Samato walked around the room with a worried face, wondering if everything went well or not. He was not afraid that he would be accused, since everything was done by Fomi himself, and he was in no way involved.

From the fact that Ame's face turned pale, he was sure that Fomi had taken the pills. Even if he is rescued, the probability of which is quite small, he is sure that his older brother will turn into a vegetable. But still, even if he is confident in the effectiveness of his plan, anxiety did not deign to leave him.

Suddenly, rather rapid footsteps were heard in the corridor. Samato looked out of the room and saw Ame walking with a gloomy expression on his face. When he saw his nephew peeking out, he relaxed through the force and smiled. Coming up, he sat down at eye level and stroked Samato on the head.

- Uncle, what happened?

His hand froze for a moment, but continued stroking the child's head. After thinking for a moment, he answered as reassuringly as possible.

- Samato, an accident happened to your brother.

- What, what happened to Fomi?

- Haa, please calm down. Unfortunately, he died, but you have to be strong, in lives, this can happen more than once. Therefore, overcome your sadness, you are a smart boy and should understand your position, now you are the heir of an elder, do not shame the face of a member of the main branch.

Said Ame carefully looking into the eyes of the child, happiness was heard in his last words. Listening to him, Samato tried to contain his relief by pretending a face of sadness. Seeing that the boy was trying to restrain something, Ame hugged and patted him on the back.

- Samato, go and rest until your father comes back. I need to do a few things.

Lowering his arms, Ame saw the boy walking towards the futon. After closing the door, his face became serious, activating byakugan and finding Niko graying in the garden, he headed in her direction.

In less than a few seconds, he approached Niko, who was sitting with her back to him. Her head was lowered in sadness, and she was watching the flowing stream of sisi-odosi water.

- You should already know what happened, so follow me.

Startled by the serious tone, she turned back, seeing Ame, joy flashed in her white eyes, but was immediately replaced by sadness. When she wanted to open her mouth to say something, Ame turned away and walked out of the courtyard.

Frozen for a moment, Niko lowered her head in sadness and stood up to follow him. Sometimes, she raised her heads to look at the back of the Ame walking in front, but seeing that he was not paying attention to her, she lowered it again.

It took a few minutes to walk to the hospital, where a small crowd had gathered. Seeing Ame walking with a serious face, the older and more experienced members of the clan respectfully gave way.

When Ame and Niko entered the hospital, they went to the location of Hansha. Approaching the right room and entering it, they were met by several pairs of eyes with seriousness visible in them.

One of them was Hanshi, whose gaze immediately switched to Niko. The other two were the head of the Fuxi Hyuga Clan, and the elder in charge of the Gurtsu Hyuga Clan library. The room was quite spacious and had several tables and chairs that were pushed aside. Apparently, this room was a kind of place for the rest of the hospital staff

- Finally you brought her Ame, step aside. And you, Niko, explain how you allowed this to happen?

After listening, he stepped aside, allowing Niko to step into the center of the room. Going to the window and turning away, he began to look at the already setting sun. Shaking her body under the cold angry gaze of the Hansha and the elders, she walked into the center. Kneeling down and putting her head to the floor, Niko answered in a low voice.

"I-I'm to blame and d-don't deserve to be f-forgiven."

- Is that all you can say?!

There was silence in response, which angered Hanshi even more, his byakugan activated, and he screamed.

- I asked, is that all you can say?!

Immediately, Niko felt an incredible headache, as if hot needles pierced her brain. Screaming in pain, she clutched her head.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…

At this moment, the previously silent head of the clan put his hand on Elder Medic's shoulder and said in a calm tone.

- Hanshi calm down. – Looking at the panting Niko, he said. - There is no forgiveness for you, as a member of a side branch, you did not fulfill your main duty, for this, I, as the head of the clan, impose punishment. – Moving his hand, he threw a kunai, which stuck right next to the girl holding her head. - Die as a proud member of the Hyuga clan.

Breathing heavily, Niko looked at the kunai stuck next to her head. After thinking about something and casting a glance at Ame, who was standing to the side and looking at her, she bit her lip until it bled and stood up. Snatching the kunai from the floor, Niko brought it to her heart and smiled sadly in the direction of Ame, stuck the tip.
