December 27
Today is the day I will be leaving Konoha and coincidentally it is also my birthday.
The Hyuga compound is silent instead of a grand celebration for me. It is to be expected with the way I am treated right now.
Ko brought gifts to me, even though there is no feast or celebration.
Itachi even remembered my birthday, before he and his genin team left for a C-rank mission outside of Konoha. What a coincide. I bet Itachi or either Zetsu had a hand in that.
Itachi gave me a crescent moon earing with a crow sitting on it. There is also a note.
Mine has a rabbit on it - Itachi
Now I just have to wear them! Well, that will have to wait until I get a little older. That earing is really large.
I can already see Itachi dangling his magnefienct earing with him and people giving him weird looks. Damn Itachi is just awesome.
Ko has also been informing me about the Kumo delegation's arrival.
Many Konoha shinobi are unhappy with peace treaty sent with the delegation. Apparently Konoha would have to cede resources to Kumo for a treaty, which stopped the negotiation right from the beginning. Who knows how the Hokage plans to react tomorrow to further talks and especially once he notices a 'successful' kidnapping.
With everything prepared, I lay down and try to fake sleeping.
----------------------------------------
P.o.V. Hiroshi, Head Ninja of Kumogakure
I, Hiroshi, Head Ninja of Kumokagure, was sent to Konoha to 'negotiate' favourable terms for a peace treaty between both villages.
During my travel to Konoha, I was given a missive from the Raikage (Kumo's Leader) to aquire bloodlines should I have the chance to do so. Reading between the lines, it is obvious that the Raikage tries to gain the upperhand during the whole conflict and is not really bothered should it continue, despite any peace negotiations.
Should the war extend for another two years, than other villages might attack us, but what the I and obviously the Raikage know is important in regards to this whole situation.
Both villages' military power might be weakining, but Kumo doesn't have to fear and attack from another village. Taking a look at the current situation in the Elemental Nations, it is getting really obvious that the one who has to fear an invasion is Konoha and not Kumo.
First, Konoha is in the center of all possible shinobi wars and always has been due to its position. Konoha is surrounded by all other villages!
Second, Konoha's forces are at the weakest point since years thanks to the Kyuubi incident and the Third Shinobi World War.
Third, Kirigakure, which is the only which could really threaten us at the moment, due to the huge losses of Iwagakure, is in a civil war and won't be able to threaten us.
Kumo has nothing to fear from the other villages, even if the war exhausted our reserves, but instead is our chance to seize the upperhand from Konoha.
Call it an auspicious sign or Kami's blessing, but the moment I arrive in Konoha I hear rumours of the Hyuga Heiress' birthday. One of their branch members is even willing to assist in my kidnapping attempt should I manage to 'remove' the 'demon' from their clan.
I have always been a suspicious fellow and double checked all sources and I am utterly astonished. The majority of the Hyuga hates their heir and are willing to sell her out, especially the branch members. Filthy traitors!
They signed a treaty with me to kill the main family and release the branch family should Kumo ever defeat Konoha. Ridiculous! Stupid!
This is not suspicious in any way!
But no matter how often I have my man scout for information, they always return with negative results.
How has a clan filled with idiots like them ever managed to be threat to Kumo?
Who cares! The Byakugan will soon be part of Kumo and everyone will recognize my merits!
I arrive in the Hyuga compound late at night. One of the servants leads me to the heiress' chamber.
No guards. No trackers.
Suspicious.
Once we arrive at the heiress' chamber, the servant leaves. I enter the room and can find a small girl around the age 5-7 sleeping on her bed. Weirdly she is holding a scarf close to her, which is probably a memento of her mother.
I inspect her breathing for a minute until I am sure that she is really sleeping. I then unseal rope and bind her.
The whole thing doesn't take me more than a minute and I start leaving the compound with the heiress in my arms.
Twenty minutes later and I am already a good distance away from Konoha.
Too easy!
Konohas security is too weak!
I have to report that to the Raikage as soon as possible!
Hm? What is this incoming feeling of danger? Enemies? Trackers?
No I can't sense any other shinobi around me. But where is that danger coming from?
Wait! Why is he heiress' chakra fluctuating!?
"NNRGH"
Can't breathe?!
Can't move?!
Why is my chakra moving so slow?!
"Nnnnnghh"
The last thing I see is the demonic smile of a little girl and her blue eyes.
"Got you~"
I knew it was too easy...

P.o.V. Hinata
You killed Hiroshi lv.62! Level up! You reached lv.8! Level up! You reached lv.9! Level up! You reached lv.10! Level up! You reached lv.11!
"Are you done strangling people to death, Princess~?"
"Yes, Zetsu. You can eat him now if you want to. Oh and thanks for the chakra poison."
"Ah~ No problem. It is at least a good thing that you did not leave his blood all over the floor. We don't want Konoha to think that someone might have saved you."
Killing the Kumo-nin with my Qi threads would have been impossible, if Zetsus poison didn't activate in time. Anyway Zetsu would have been able to help me, if the poison failed.
"How long is the trip to the hideout?"
"Oh don't worry Princess. I will carry you the whole way while White Zetsu will create a decoy for the Konoha trackers."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Then I will try to sleep now."
"Good night~"
It has been already an hour of constant travelling with Black Zetsu and I hate it.
I can't fall asleep, but that is not even Black Zetsus fault. The real problem lies with my increased levels.
My eyes hurt, my forehead aches and the budding horns start growing out of my head.
It hurts and my head is bloody.
Black Zetsu also noticed my changes, but didn't comment on it.
Even the damn cheat screen had a comment about my escape.
Title 'Hyuga Heiress' changed into 'Runaway Princess'
You are the heir of a prominent clan, but decided to run away from your responsibilities.
Your superior lineage will increase your stats.
+1 Dex per level
+1 Int per level
+1 Wis per level
+1 Cha per level
It could have been worse. I am merely losing one extra point in Dexterity.
"Zetsu? How long until we arrive at the hideout?"
"With our current speed we will need around twenty hours. Alone I could have the hideout in an two hours, but our Princess needs me to carry her~"
"*sigh* Do you have something to lessen pain? I am apparently starting to grow horns, as you probably already noticed and it hurts. A lot."
"I could knock you out."
"..do it."
----------------------------------------
Days later I find myself in the underground hideout that Zetsu provided. Luckily the growing pains subsided and are now only a simple annoyance.
The hideout is underground and the only entrance is through a cave, which one can only access with the Mokuten (Wood Release). Only by moving around roots and other vegetation can one find the entrance to the cave.
The rooms of the hideout are also spacious and filled with everything I could need.
I am honestly surprised how elaborate some of these rooms are. Seals filled with water to bath and drink, which will be refilled everyday by a White Zetsu clone. Food and drinks cooled by another seal and another White Zetsu clone that constantly fills the 'fridge'.
Black Zetsu even provided another White Zetsu clone as my butler.
This is no hideout, no, this is a freaking mansion.
"Come with me for a moment Princess. I want to show you your library."
Ohhhhh~ I am so hyped. The library must be filled to the brim with the scale Black Zetsu has been working in.
"This is a 10m x 15m x 5m room that I used as library. It is filled with 'lost' scrolls of the Elemental Nations. There are also many copies that I had made by some of the White Zetsu clones. I originally intended the mansion to be used for Mother and wanted to impress her with this present, but seeing as you are her champion, you should have access to this whole hideout. To be honest most of these scrolls are not filled with powerful techniques, but instead with more 'interesting' ones. My personal favorites are the 'Stink Cloud Technique', 'The Prankster War' and 'Human Delicacy: How To Prepare Your Human'. You will find many unique scrolls, which is why I want to remind you to be careful with them."
"I honestly expected to enter a huge room, but I guess this one will do. The scrolls will also provide unique perspectives to chakra usage. They will help immensely with my jutsu research."
"Haha. At least you understand my interest for them. Oh and should you need the 'generic' scrolls then there are some over here."
"I can't wait to start reading."
"Princess, before you lose yourself in your research. I laid down scrolls on the table that might interest you. 'Dreamy Sounds', 'Enchanting Voice', 'Annoying Your Neighbours' and many other scrolls that make use of sound. There is also a special something for you~"
Black Zetsu hands me a book with the title 'How To Improve Your Puppet Shows: Ventriloquist'.
"There is a whole series of that author about the usage of puppets to entertain people. I thought that you would like to take a look inside and try to enhance your puppets. You might even find surprising ways to use these skills in battle."
"...This so so cool. How did you get all these scrolls?"
"You do realize that I have lived for hundreds of years by now, don't you?
"Aah~ anyway thank you so much, Zetsu."
"Hahahaha. Alas I have to leave you now. The Uchiha boy will want to know intel about a possible Fourth Shinobi World War."
"Hm. Good luck."
'Kaguya, Black Zetsu is awesome.'
'I know right~ Unfortunately living underground is not my style at all.'
'Tch. Look at him preparing all that awesome stuff for his 'Mother' and then you instantly have to deny him his happiness. You meanie.'
'Ah don't worry about it. You are happy about it and that should be enough. By the way can you give access to your anime-related memories? I really want to see the next episode of Dragon Ball.'
'Are you serious? I actually recommend other animes. People would start hating me if they could hear me, but I was only able to watch the series, because I have been a kid and didn't care to see men screaming at each other for hours without any story.'
'Come on! Don't be like that! The series is so cool~ And have you seen their bodies?!'
What.
'You know what. Just unlock the whole damn anime library of yours and let me pick something on my own!'
'Hai.'
'Thank you~'
Good thing, that Naruto is completely removed from that area.
I should look for a mirror and check out any visible changes to my eyes, before I start losing myself in my reading.
My eyes are very close to being full Tenseigan eyes. It will probably take two years at most for them to completely change.
I can also already feel little horns with no skin covering them. Guess it won't be long before I will start looking like a real demon. Something to think about once I start making a name for myself as a S-rank shinobi.
One final look at my status and all my skills and then it will be time to start my training!
