Neji was four years old and I was three this year.

Neji and I were dressed in our formal clothes. Which consisted of a black kimono and a white obi.

Father had let my and neji's hair grow. My long hair and skin contrasted greatly against my clothes.

Father was busy gathering the branch members. He told us to be ready by the time he was back.

Our village was having a great celebration. Father said we were not participating because it was the heir's third birthday.

After many years at war, we finally came to a peace treaty with the land of lightning.

Father told us earlier that the head cloud ninja were sent to join in on the celebration and sign the peace treaty. 

Everyone was there to welcome our old enemies. Every civilian, genin, chunin and jonin in the leaf village were there.

While me and neji were waiting we started to talk about the heir. Neji asked " yuki, what do you think the heir is like"?

I responded " she is probably like the rest of the main house"

I continued " or maybe she is nice and strong"

Neji said " hopefully". I never had a chance to know which one he meant.

Before I had a chance to say anything dad walked in and told us to follow him.

We followed him out the house in onto the hot summer streets. The other branch members were waiting for us outside.

Dad asked everyone to follow him. Me and neji were at his sides and a man beside me. Everyone else followed us to where we were going.

After walking for a couple minutes we saw the main family. Dad stop waking a couple feet away from them.

Father started to talk first " so hinata-hime is three years old, congratulations"  

Lord hiashi replied " thank you". He looked just like father I noticed.

Why is hinata-hime hiding behind her father I thought?

She smiled at us, neji and I smiled back.

Neji looked up at father an said " she looks nice father, don't you think "?!

Our father just stared at him with a sad look upon his face.

Neji asked " what is it father...what's wrong "? 

Father responded " oh...it's nothing my son "

While they were talking I was still looking at hinata-hime. She had on a pink yakata with our clan symbol on the bottom part.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Lord hashi said " hizashi, it is time I took neji and ketsueki or is it yuki under my wing".

Father responded " yes ".

After that lord hashi asked us to follow him. We followed him back to the main family home.

While we were walking I whispered to neji " what did he mean by taking us under his wing". 

I continued " he doesn't have a wing". Neji laughed and said " I don't know"

We finally got to main house. And it was freaking huge...if I say so my self!

Lord hashi had sent hinata-hime to her room earlier.

We walked down a couple halls till we got to a room. Father asked " neji and yuki follow lord hashi".

He had a pained look upon his face. He bent down and took off his hitai-ate.

Father said " Look sons, this is what lord hashi is going to put on your head ".

He continued " don't fight it, just do what he says ".

What I saw was a manji that had hookd on the ends. On the left side a thing that looked like a hook was pointing down. On the right sight it was pointed up.

We did as we were told...well neji did but i started to panic for some reason. I felt so scared...I started to back up to run but as I was about to run lord hashi knocked me out.

I heard father say something.

IT WAS ON THAT DAY THAT I WAS TURNED INTO A BIRD THAT WAS LOCKED INTO A CAGE!

Pov: Hizahi

I took off my hitai-ate and showed my sons the curse mark. I was trying to make them calm so that my twin brother wouldn't hurt my son and his. 

I looked at them and I saw neji looking curiously at me. While yuki had panic look on his face!

Nononononononononon...don't yuki! 

I went to grab him so he would be "okay".

But he hit him....he fell and I caught him. 

I looked up at my brother and was about to try to hit him.

When neji started to yell saying why did he hit his brother.

I grab neji and told him to calm down so he wouldn't get hit by him.

I was angry at him....

Well that ends another tiny chap.

Sorry I couldn't explain how the curse seal looked.
