P.o.V. Hiashi Hyuga

It is in times like these, when I wish my younger brother would be the clan head instead of me. Not many know it, but my brother is in fact the stronger one from us both and the only reason why I am allowed to call myself Patriarch of the Hyuga family are 42 seconds that I was born earlier than him. Since that fateful day he had to serve me as it is expected from the branch house. We both know he is the more capable one and he still has to serve me.

*sigh*

With a feeling of helplessness I read the report again that Ko brought me earlier.

Dear Clan Head,

we managed to identify 3 more corpses as our missing family members. With that we are now at a death count of 13 and missing 25 other family members from which only 1 of the main family still remains to be found. We were able to confirm that no Byakugan eyes were lost.

Damn. This whole mess with the Kyuubi attack is giving me headaches without end and the worst coming from the elders of our clan. Luckily with one of the missing main family corpse found, the elders might relax a litte more instead of constantly informing me of the importance to find our missing eyes. Sometimes I really wonder why the main family is not branded with a seal similar to the branch house. Would it really be that hard to do?

"Have the elders brought to my chambers."

"As you wish, Clan Head."

Haaaa~ There it is again. 'Clan Head'. The constant reminder of my duties.

While I have to wait for the elders to arrive and inform them of our problems, my dear wife is in labor and I can't be at her side for support. Ah Hitomi, your husband is struggling with old, annoying people. How I wish I could be at your side. Thinking about it, I hope there are no complications.

Aaaaaaah~ That thought is making me nervous again.

"The elders arrived."

Oh crap. Better get back to stoic Hyuuga.,

"Have them enter."

With my order, the five elders slowly walk into my chamber and sit down. It is not hard to see that they are displeased. My father is obviously the one asking about their purpose here.

"Hiashi you called us?"

"Yes. Ko reported to me that they managed to find one of the missing main family corpses. His eyes are not missing."

"Good. What about the other eyes?"

Funny how he refers to the last missing main family member as eyes instead.

"They have yet to find him."

And with just one sentence all five of them are even more displeased than a second before. Oh well.

"It is paramount that we find the other missing person and make sure that the Byakugan did not land into the hands of others."

At least he corrected himself.

"Of course, father."

The only female elder speaks up at that point.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Hiashi. What is the status of your daughter?"

"My wife is currently in labor."

"Ah yes. I do hope you plan to personally educate your daughter."

That woman is so damn infuriating. Not only did she constantly reminding me of my 'frail' wife, but now she is also ordering me what to do with my daughter. It is bad enough that she had to critisize me for choosing me to marry Hitomi instead of a more capable Hyuga.

"I do remember to be the current Clan Head. For that reason I will do with her how I see fit to do."

"I merely wanted to remind you that with the current baby boom, after the Third Shinobi World War, many Clan Heads had their heirs born this year. As the upcoming heir of the Hyuga Clan it will obviously be her duty to represent us in a favourable fashion."

"And she will do so. Now I would like to see my wife."

Once the elders leave I stand up and compose myself. No reason to arrive as a nervous wreck.

I slowly make my way to door, when a servant opens it and seems surprised for a moment.

"Clan Head. Your daughter is about to be born."

"Very well."

And with that we make our way to Hitomi.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHH!"

"You almost got it."

I am currently trying to stay immobile and not pace around like a nervous idiot, while waiting in front of Hitomis room. Do I have to say how uncomfortable I am currently? After all hearing your wife constantly grunting and screaming out in pain is not necessarily the best way to calm myself.

After waiting for another ten minutes, the midwife leaves the room. But the expression her face is showing me is not exactly reassuring.

"Is anything wrong?"

"Clan Head. Mother and daughter are both healthy and were not hurt during birth. There is just a minor occurence I noticed with your daughter."

"Out with it!"

"Her chakra is very imbalanced. For some reason she has more than ten times the amount of spiritual chakra than physical. We have yet to determine whether that might affect her negatively in the future."

"Do so on a later date. Right now I want to see my wife and daughter."

"As you wish."

Entering the room I can see my beatiful wife smiling while she is holding what seems to be our daughter. Looking at my daughters peaceful expression calms my heart.

"She looks so peaceful, husband."

"And beatiful like her mother. Did you already decide on a name?"

"Hinata. Oh look she is opening her eyes."

And that is when we both lose ourselves in the eyes of our daughter.

P.o.V. Hinata

Taking my first breath in this new world was more painful than I imagined it to be. Not only did I try to somehow remember how to breath at the same time the lights in the room completly blinded me. Imagine yourself living in darkness for months on until suddenly someone holds a flashlight right on your face. So it is no surprise that I am currently not opening my eyes while listening to the sounds around me.

Ah. I just remembered. I have no idea what they are talking about, which means I will have to learn a new language. Maybe I should have taken Eidetic Memory as a talent instead...

Oh someone with a deeper voice is talking now. That must be Hiashi.

"Hinata."

They are trying to talk to me. Let's try looking at them.

Wow. This is awesome and completly disorienting at the same time. I actually thought the 360° only activates when using chakra, but in hindsight that might have been dumb to assume.

Currently I am being held by a woman with fair skin and long, dark purple hair that resembles an older version of Hinata, meaning this must be my mother. On her side is a man with long black hair that would be the splitting image of Hiashi.

Hm? Why are they looking so intensely at my face? Are they waiting for something?

No. Nonono. I am still looking like a totally normal baby right? No horns right? I better find a way to distract them.

Let's just start crying that always solves problems as a baby.

"gug- waAAH!"

"%!§&(//(§"

"Hn. &!%%(()%&&@"

Hey. Why is she exposing her breast. Oh! Right. They are assuming I am hungry. No other choice than just doing it.

P.o.V. Hiashi

"Did you see her eyes Hitomi?"

"Yeah. They had a very fade blue color at the border."

"I will have to inspect the clan archives soon. It might very well be that her eyes are a mutation of the original."

"Are not jumpig too far? Didn't the midwife inform you that Hinatas spiritual chakra is higher by a huge margin? That might as well be the reason for the blue color."

"Oh right. I wanted to have a look at her chakra pathways too."

Hinatas chakra pathways are indeed larger than Nejis at his birth, but her chakra amount is unsettling. She has a little more than would be necessary to stay alive.

"Hiashi look. She is starting to fall asleep."

"You should also rest Hitomi. I will call someone over to help you out."

I will just take a look at our archives for now. Hopefully that damn elder won't be pestering me later...
