Four months went by and many things happened.

My mother started to earnestly teach japanese and I can proudly proclaim to be able to at least understand the people around me now, until they start using more complicated words. It is just that many of them are hard to understand without anyone describing what these words mean. Nevertheless I can finally understand my parents and even started reading! Of course I am not pushing my luck by reading any scrolls and just had learned from what was written in the picture books my mother used to teach me.

At first it was weird that Hitomi spent more time with me, but by now I really appreciate her company.

My physical training also improved as my fingers are now nimbler and I started crawling and even trying to walk. I have yet to succed on my first step, but I am already satisfied with my current accomplishments, especially when looking at my rewards for my hard work.

Name: Hinata Hyuga Level: 1 Health: 270/270 Mana: 0 Physical E:

215/215 Spiritual E:

1690/1690 Strength: 6 Constitution: 7 Dexterity: 13 Intelligence: 84 Wisdom: 80 Charisma: 7 Stat Points: 6 Talent Points: 0

My physical stats increased by a lot. Strength went up by 3, Constitution by 4 and Dexterity by a whooping 6. My 'Muscle Growth' talent is proving to be a good choice.

Intelligence and Wisdom went up by 1 each the moment Blue Screen recognized me having gotten basic knowledge about japanese. Charisma somehow increased by 2 one day out of nowhere while I was playing around with Sir. Fluffykins. I might or might not have heard other people whispering during that time.

Anyway with my ability to crawl around the Hyuga compound I went on a grand adventure with my trusty companion Sir. Fluffykins. Ko might have followed us silently the whole time, but that doesn't matter at all!

I crawled from room to room and met completely new people. Many women smiled whenever I met them. It might have something to do with me waving to them while cuddling a fluffy plush toy and smiling radiantly. But what was really funny to see was me making life harder for the guards. There was one group of guards that I always distracted from their boring guard gate at the entrance. I would always come right into Byakugan range and then start playing around with Sir. Fluffykins. Everytime I did that I could literally feel their gazes on me and when I stopped to look at them, they started fidgeting weirdly like I found out that they actually are sticklers for cuteness. At least I think I brought a little more happiness to everyone in the compound.

Oh right I met Neji, son of Hizashi Hyuga and my cousin. He should be close to two years by now and he had been troublesome to deal with. He started following me around and even wanted to participate in one of Sir. Fluffykins epic stories. Seeing a small boy with black long hair walking up to me with an eagle plushie and then noticing the similarities to Neji Hyuga, surprised me. Communication was also very weird as I didn't even manage to say one correct word yet. It still somehow turned out alright even if I have no idea what we were actually doing. Somehow Neji tried to convey that his eagle 'Burd', as he called it, is super strong and fast. I then tried to tell him how awesome 'Fufuuw' is by gesturing around wildly. Yeah... at least Neji seemed to have been happy.

While all this stuff happened, I had my other me slowly converting our left over physical energy transform into Qi. In 2 months we managed to convert about 150PE(physical energy) and 150SE(spiritual energy) into Qi.

After that I constantly used up Qi to create any changes in our body, but it somehow didn't come to what I expected. I expected the Qi to slowly store itself in the cells similar to what physical energy did, but instead it has only been repairing muscles that I used. At least it helped with my fatigue.

Afterwards I wanted to increase the total Qi amount by inhaling more natural chakra, but that process is really slow. In 2 months I have yet to notice any visible increases. Yes the natural chakra is being collected in the dantian, but it is doing so as a gas and not the liquid I want it to be. I am assuming that I need even more natural chakra to create any visible changes on that front, so I am just collecting the stuff passively.

During night I started to meditating to unlock my mindscape and I have to say, that whatever I am doing is either not working or I am not doing it good enough. So in 4 months I have yet to enter my own mindscape.

Anyway in 4 months I managed to get many new skills.

Anyway with this I should be good to go to finally start learning how to actually use Qi. For that reason I am currently meditating, while having my Qi open my tenketsu points by my split conciousness. The moment one of the tenketsu is open I will start using Qi outside of my body.

"It is done Boss! I opened one tenketsu on your palm."

"Well done."

I am willing a small part of the Liquid Qi to flow into my palm and shape it into a small string. Afterwards I am having the tip of the string leave through the tenketsu point and open my eyes.

A small white light is leaving my palm and it is very similar to chakra string in appearance. The two main differences are that my string seems to have a stronger body, because it is not flickering like the chakra strings in the story did.

I have the Qi string moved further out of my palm and after 10cm it gets too hard to maintain and dissolves. Opening my status screen I see that I spent roughly 5PE and 5SE for that action.

Isn't that too less?

Just to see if the idea in my head is correct, I am repeating the same experiment with normal chakra. The results are interesting.

I managed to move the chakra string out of my palm until it reached a distance of about 25cm to 30cm and used up 20PE and 20SE. How did it come to these numbers?

I guess that because normal chakra exists in a gaseous form, it is easier for the string to be moved while the Liquid Qi feels like I am holding a heavy boulder. The crazy cost difference on the other hand is that while it is easier to have the chakra move, it is harder to contain the chakra, which is leading to the four times higher costs. I also had both strings try to pick up a shinobi doll and noticed to important differences. The Qi string has body felt like a strong metal wire, while my chakra threads felt brittle in comparison, but at the moment they are more elastic than the Qi strings. Their color is also an obvious difference with the Qi strings white body, which is almost invisible to the naked eye and the obvious blue chakra threads.

I will have to practice with my Qi strings and chakra threads. There are so many possibilites they open up, like tripping enemies, controlling extra weapons with the Qi strings or even create a whole Qi Armor like the Uchihas Susanoo. I could even have my other conciousness try to take control of multiple Qi strings and have her fight alongside me.

So many possibilities to explore.

"Hinata?! Is that chakra?"

Oh crap I didn't pay any attention to my surroundings.

Mom please you didn't see anything just leave the room and not come closer like you are doing right now.

"Hinata... sometimes I really don't know if I should be afraid of you or not."

Afraid of me? But there is nothing to be afraid of!

"You are only five months old and yet here you are almost walking, teething and even using chakra like an academy kid years older than you."

Is that it? You are seeing me as some kind of monster?

"Your blue Byakugan is just another of those things."

I can just have my eyes closed the whole time then!

"The way you look with them sometimes, like you are looking at us, but also not."

That doesn't make any sense.

"Even when you are smiling, your eyes still have that cold look. It truly scares me."

Then you just have to look away.

"Then there is your learning speed. It is unheard of for a child below two to even consider using chakra strings. But here you are with your frightening learning rate."

Ah. I was right.

"It makes me wonder sometimes if you are really my own child."

I knew it. Damn do I really have to tear up right now?

"Hinata you are a monster."

It is not like she knows that I have memories of my last life. But it still hurts to be rejected.

"Hinata. Even if you are a monster, you are still my monster and I will protect you."

Wha- this woman is completely mad! Go away don't hug me right now!

"Don't worry Hinata, I protect you even if you are too intelligent for normal baby. I will hug you even if you are possessed by some demonic being. I will still love you, as I would my own daughter, even if you were some crazy reincarnated being."

Fuck. This woman is supposed to be my mother! Not only is she first making me feel like the worst freak, no she then is telling me how she will loves me.

What is wrong with you?! Couldn't you have just ignored the whole 'you scare' me shit and hold me? Why are you even thinking it to be good idea to tell your child that it is a freak of nature?

I can't deal with your unconditional love right now!

Just let me sleep here.

Fucking tears why are you not stopping?!

P.o.V. Hitomi

After Hinata calmed down and started sleeping. I brought her to her crib and am currently still standing by her side.

I have no idea what came over me at that moment, but seeing my daughter using chakra just triggered some of my pent up frustrations.

The last month I have been helping her study and afterwards tried to find out, if one of the elders already had any nefarious plans for Hinata. Call me paranoid, but I am not letting anyone I don't trust near my baby.

In hindsight it might not have been such a good idea to tell Hinata that she scares me, but she really does. It is not really her actions, but their consequences for the future that really scare me. There have been prodigies in the shinobi history that rose up their career to only die as merely ten year olds during some wars.

Everything Hinata is doing will only attract more and more attention to her and it might result in her undergoing dangerous missions. That is still one of the safer options.

With her current development she will be a shinobi in maybe four or five years and no one that young should be forced to kill others. I don't even want to think of the possible damages to her mind, when she starts killing at that age.

That is what scared me. That is what made tell her my own fears.

"Don't worry Hinata. I will keep all the crazy people away from you."

At least the handful of years I am still alive.
