Journey Of A Soul - A Naruto Fanfic

we find our mc with a tick mark on this forehead and twitching hands struggling not to hit some thing while looking at the creepy a.s.s face of hyuuga hiashi and hizashi both with stoic expression with shota neji struggling to copy his father and uncle and fidgeting hinata on the side.

he started thinking how the f.u.c.k he got in this situation.

(flashback start)

its been 3 days since his battle with uchiha itachi and while our mc had fun and got a worthy rival, right now we find our mc staring at a mountain of letters in front of him heatedly, like trying to set them on fire through his eyes.

just then hiruzen and minato came inside his room when they saw this scene, they both had a deja wu but started laughing while literally rolling on the floor like they have seen the greatest joke.

i mumbled 'so much for honourable hokages' which they heard and started laughing harder. i gave them both a killer glare and again wanted to bash my head on a wall for my stupidity.

when i anounced being hokage apprentice and battled itachi at jounin level fight, the news spread to literally all konoha citizens who should be at least in millions. i thought how it was possible, if there is a news paper or social media in this world because it was just inconceivable to believe the news spread just through gossip in a single night. but guess what it was through gossip.

since then i got invited to all kinds of events, got love letters from even older girls and there are also battle requests. while i was thinking about this both the idiot hokages are still laughing. i know they are enjoying this as they too struggle through such amount in paperwork on daily basis. i just dead panned at them and formed a plan for revenge

i serenly smiled at them, which sobered up hiruzen who is aware of my vindictive nature and asked him 'master, can you give me shadow clone jutsu please'

intrigued he gave me the hand seals and method of creating shadow clones which i got fairly quickly seeing it was easy but just too much chakra intensive and created 20 clones which are my limit and nodded at them. they started writing replies accepting all battle requests, declining love letters and party invitations left and right in light speed.

i looked over both the clowns and gave a derisive snot seeing them frozen over. they were staring at me like i just said that this universe is actually a story written and they were not real.

hiruzen started to literally tear up mumbling about battling the evil for more than 40 years while minato got a bright smile as if he cracked the secret of the universe. i just ignored both men and made my way outside to train peacefully.

just then a hyuga came to me with a formal invitation for dinner today, which i accepted thinking this would complete the set and i would go back to my peaceful days of just training.

i got ready in the evening wearing my formal yukata and made my way to the hyuuga compound. after stating my name and purpose of visit, i was guided to the clan leaders house. the hyuuga compound is very traditional style as theme and it almost looks like he time travelled to edo japan in his previous life.

I was taken to clan heads office where hiashi is sitting with his twin and both were calmly drinking their tea. hiashi signalled me to sit down when a branch family member served me tea and we started a staring match between us, and i dont know why.

i finally relented and said

'thank you for inviting me to your home, hyuuga sama'

both were still staring at me with no expression on their creepy eyes and dint make any move other than drinking their tea.

i started thinking how i dont want to end up playing poker with these guys like ever. finally after 30 minutes of absolute silence where i was a recipient of twin stares which got me goosebumps like never before we were interupted by the same servant from before about dinner being ready.

they both nodded minutely and started walking while i just followed them. i was starting to think something is seriously off here. but kept my cool and followed them silently.

we made it into a huge hall where i saw atleast 150 hyuugas seated, i also saw hinata sitting with an older hinata who i think is her mom and chibi neji along with many older people who i think are the clan elders along with other people who i think are main branch members.

just as i entered i had 150 pair of creepy expressions staring at me intently. now i was really creeped out by looking at them. we all took our seats with me sitting facing all 150 odd people and them looking at me. hiashi then nodded again when doors opened and we were all served dinner.

by this time, i just wanted to get the heck out of here asap but as i was thinking that one of the clan elder cleared his throat loudly gaining attention from everyone in the room.

elder 1: haruno san, seeing as you are the guest of honor, why dont you say a few words before we get started with dinner.

with that i again became the center for creepy looks which made me mighty uncomfortable. thanks no name old man elder i will build a good grave for you when its time. i thought sarcastically. but looked at hiashi as if saying, its your home and etiquette is you should start of.

hiashi- i agree with elder nejima, please go on haruno san.

shit, what are these guys up to. well whatever i do have friendship from upper clans anyways, lets just act as i usually do. these formalities are already frying my nerves.

i slightly bowed my head and looked at them stoically and said ' hajime mashite, my name is sasaki haruno, 4 years old, a man who can see through everything'

with that i saw twiches on almost everyone there with my introduction being a snipe on their all seeing eyes they flaunt. well thats good atleast i got a reaction from them, as i thought introducing like this is really good. i re affirmed myself on this decision.

'thank you for inviting me to your home, i am really enjoying the festive atmosphere of hyuuga clan'

now thats a nail in the coffin, almost everyone were twitching at their place and chibi neji was openly smirking. i looked at the hyuuga twins who still have stoic faces. damn they are the last bosses here ha.

elder 2: you got some balls on you brat.

everyone were looking at the elder with stupid faces for his words, which are still uttered without any emotion, and i am also stupefied since i dint expect that response.

'thanks for your words old man, you seem to have some too' i said with an amicable smile.

now everyone froze listening to this and the elder smiled at me, still slightly creepy if you ask me.

hiashi- lets eat.

with that everyone were eating quietly and i also eat slowly and waited for this day to finish. i started scanning all the hyuuga compound for their auras and supprisingly their is no negative emotions which i thought would be from the branch members. there are about 1200 hyuugas present in the compound with queit a few jounin and chunin.

anyways through out the dinner i was under their scrutiny for every action i take, even how i am eating, chewing and frankly i think they are counting how many times i chew my food. after that excruciating dinner, i was getting up when one of the main family character came in front of me.

hyuuga dude (for now): hello haruno san, i am ko hyuuga, a chunin, i would like to exchange some pointers if you allow some time now.

i looked around and found everyone waiting for my response. i looked at hiashi to find the same expression on his face then at hinata who was fidgeting even more, when our eyes met she did classic hinata looking down and blushing.

well i do need some exercise, what ever they are upto, it would be good to guage how gentle fist works. with that thought i nodded my head.

i along with all 150 members of hyuuga clan was led to a large training room where everyone were sitting with ko and myself on the centre.

i looked at a main family member who came forward as a refere and gave a signal.

ko looked at me with gentle fist stance but did not take out his byakugan. hmm is he underestimating me or is he just confident. i who was already pissed off decided to take it out on poor ko.

i took my tijutsu stance and reinforced my hands with layer of chakra, with that i sped through the gap between us and started the match.

hyuugas do have good reflexes as i can see him using his palms to counter my attack but to no avail and took a kick to his stomach with almost low jounin strength.

with that he looked at me making a seal to unleash his byakugan. and started on their signature gentle fist trigrams attack.

when he started his attack i started using observation haki with roukushiki- kami-e (paper art) to dodge his fingers but let a couple of tenketsu to be hit on my right hand to get a feel. he started at chunin level speed and with every step his speed increased exponentially with the last 64 at mid jounin speed.

for others it looked like our bodies has blurred for a bit, but the jounin members were awed by the fact that i successfully dodged just what appears as my body reflexes to them.

to recap, after learning shunshin, i got an idea of developing roukushiki from one piece with shunshin as bases and successfully developed kami-e and soru with the high speed body movement afforded by shunshin no jutsu. these two mainly focuses on using the legs where they hit the ground in high speed for soru which took my shunshin speed to another level and kami-e is relaxing the body and using high speed foot work to dodge all the attacks. i named them shunshin- soru style and shunshi- kami e style.

we both put some distance between us, i stared at my hand whose tenketsu got sealed and delivered some chakra to unseal it and expunge ko's chakra from my body.

'you are not bad, but you are limiting yourself with just sending normal chakra in my body, from my understanding if your chakra density is less than mine, i can easily unblock it. let me show you how to use such art.'

with that i used soru to instantly close the distance between us and started using kami-e but attacked with my fingers which has small amount of lightning chakra. i had achieved minor accomplishment on lightning manipulation in these two weeks. i dont know any lightning jutsu but i can atleast generate weak lightning to augument my reflexes a bit.

with that i atached him on pressure points since i cannot sense tenketsu and showed a variation of gentle-fist lightening version.

for everyone else, i just moved in a very high speed towards ko and blurred a bit when arcs of lightening could be seen and then ko started falling down. they looked at his burnt clothes due to lightening chakra in my fingers.

the people in the hall who were mid jounin or above could see my movements completely with byakugan and were shocked to the core due to the combat potential such a small change has afforded. they looked down on elemental manipulation due to time taken for it to learn it and leaned more on tijutsu which did not fail them. but now it looked like the next step of polishing their techniques lie in elemental manipulation.

the previous vulger elder started laughing loudly looking at me and said to hiashi with a smile - i approve.

i was confused but started speaking looking at hyuuga clan head -' the next step for evolution would be developing hyuuga clan signature nin-tijutsu and gen-tijutsu where the chakra deposited in the targets body could put them into a small genjutsu which should give you an opening to finish them.'

(end flashback)

now here we are with these two robots staring the heck out of me.

hiashi- haruno san, would you like to be adopted into hyuuga main family?

i was looking at him like he grew a second head and replied immediately- ' sorry hyuuga sama but i wont be able to do it, i already consider my master to be my family'

hiashi nodded and then asked an outrageous question which made me in turn question his sanity.

hiashi- would you like to marry into hyuuga clan in the future. what do you think of my daughter hinata.

here neji and hinata looked startled where hinata was blushing in full force.

i looked at him like he is filth which got me an eye twitch and said- 'i apologise hyuuga sama, but i am still 4 years old, you knoe that right. maybe you should get an appointment with an yamanaka which i can gladly arrange on your behalf'

hizashi started sniggering at that and hiashi turned purple with being showed up by a child like this while neji stared at me like im his hero and hinata looked at me with wide eyes.

'as per what i think of hinata, i think she is a kind soul who has a potential to be above s rank who will become an important backbone for both hyuuga clan and konoha in the future.'

what i dint know is from now on hinata made up her mind to train in extreme to make what i said true and prove that my confidence is placed in the right hands.

with that i said byes since its already late and made my way home thinking what a bizzare day this turned out to be.
