Neji-kun!

What if Neji mysteriously survived the Shinobi war?Since his body was oddly never found it was assumed that his body got destroyed from explosions. Well if they only knew that the Hyuga was alive. How will they find him? What if he was not the only lucky soul to survive stuff? Challenge story!

Chapter one

He caught up the blood. His vision was blurry and he barely saw anything. If this kept up he would die. He smelled saltwater. He couldn't do anything. He needed to get healed up and go back to the battlefield. Help Naruto. Just then in the last second, he remembered that a reanimated Shinobie threw something at him while he shielded Naruto. " Urgh...fagk", he tried to curse only to spit out more blood. Did he die? Is he in the afterlife now?

Then he heard steps:".. Wait could it be? This looks like...Neji-kun?" His vision went black.

******************####*****************************************###******

When he woke up he was inside a bed. His sore body felt a bit better. "Hang in there. I'm not so great as I use to be…" This voice? Where has he heard it before? " Oh remember when you took your mission as Genins in the Land of Candies? I traveled there to get some inspiration. You guys got so beat up I helped out a bit." He slowly opened his eyes. They traveled toward his chest. There he saw two hands glowing green:" It been long so my medical skills suck a bit. Well. If I Remember your Name was uhm Neji Hyuga?" Nodding his head that was burning he turned to her face. " Remember? I was that red-haired cry baby back then. Nu Uzumaki." Nodding in pain he slumped back into the dream world.

The red-haired woman softly putt his green vest and headband neatly next to the injured man. The headband had the word ´´Shinobi ´´ written on it. It´s been 14 months still Neji could not muster up anything.

The war ended only a few months ago. Well damn. That was a surprise. The Hyuga softly tried to activate his chakra only to get a painful thing in response. Oh Great. " It will be fine! Give yourself time.",The red-haired woman ruffled his long hair gently, slapping cold towels unto his still burning eyes. Groaning he sighed and fell asleep.

**************************ggggg*******************

One hand he grabbed a crutch the other he held Nu´s arm. He slowly moved from his bed to the kitchen table. Finally, he could feed himself, not that he would mind getting fed by her. " Apparently, there is a sixth Hokage now, Kakashi Hatake. One fisherman just came from the Main island. "Main Island?

" Oh I forgot, you're here in Idori and the small isles of Oru. I found you almost drowning by the Beach. " Wait. What? Why is he so far away from the battlefield/ elemental Nations? Transportation Justus? That would explain the pain and his problem with his chakra system. But so far away? He grimaced in annoyance, rubbed his bandage that covered his eyes, trying would be useless, he needs to wait,for now.

************************Byusharingan*************************

Finally, he could take of these bandages of his eyes. It was hot and he helped in the garden. Kinda like the D-rank Mission back home. His body was healed up but in order to go back to Konoha, he needs to go back to shape. He had not moved his body for almost a year, how the hell did he survive even? His muscles were none existent. Taking out a Nu's handkerchief,he wiped his sweat away

.Rubbing his eyes he poured chakra into them, slowly, still in pain but he got it down. His Do-justu was still functional. " Oh, hey have a drink Neji-kun." Closing his eyes, he thankfully grabbed the drink from Nu and gulped it down. Opening eye he smelled her perfume and her smile on her face.

His chakra was still wonky, so he had to go back to basics. Tree walking exercise. With a loud growl, he ran up the tree halfway before plumping down in pain, ah yes, great. Just great. His chakra control was so out of shape. I mean it's been 2 years but come on. Wincing in pain he pouted. A chuckle was heard, he looked to the side and watched how his red-haired caretaker ran up the tree laughing at his demise. Shortly after she also fell down herself. Now he laughed harder.

,, Never knew of this chakra control exercise, I mean it has been years for me since I have...you know...trained.", the red-haired woman, put down her pen, frowned at the sketch pad before continuing to draw down lines and poses. Intrigued Neji walked over" What are you doing?" " Just some thumbnail frames before I do them digitally." The girl slid open her drawer and he saw a flat thing being put beneath her pad and an odd pen. Booting up her computer and a few minutes later he watches her draw pictures on the computer, framers after frames. Very delicate lines. It was a fighting scene. " No you need to move his arm up a few inches higher and his leg, this stand looks too much fictional.", he complains. Nu put down her pen before bursting out in tears and laughters:" IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE FICTIONAL ITS A FUCKING ANIME YOU SMARTASS!"

" Anime? What's that?" Oh boy, shinobis, huh?

He smacked his gentle fist against the tree, a few minutes later it combusted into perfect wood fire parts. " Thank you, son, you help me quite a lot.", an elderly woman took some of the wood pieces. Neji started to help the villagers and Nu out on the island. He did not want to sit on her pocked. Plus she needed to go back to the main island today to give in her Animations, meaning he was alone for quite a while. He pouted. He somehow felt very jealous over her pad. She called it a drawing tablet. Day in and night she drew, it was good art and her job but he felt very much jealous of it.

Why?

It was just a drawing tablet. He always felt jealous of her art stuff, he felt like burning it all.

Why?

" No, this is not how a typical judo throw looks like!", he stared into at Nu´s face which was blank while glaring at her pad. " Fine sir know it all, then show me!", the woman exclaimed, putting down her drawing tablet she walked towards him. He smirked, he grabbed her arm, swooped his leg between her left leg twisted it and gently put her down against the cold ground. " Hey, can you do that again?"

In anger he felt insulted, he tried to put her ego down but now she was actually enjoying his help. Not that he minded, he liked being close to her.

Why?

Here and there Nu would ask him stuff about movements, thanks to him she got a bit of a raise and praises from her boss.

He stretched his legs before going into his Hyuga fighting style, gently and carefully going from one stand to another he thought about his trying not to pull a muscle in his body he shifted to another stance. Are they alive and okay? Naruto, was he still alive? What about the villages? Hinata,Hanabi, the Clan,TenTen,Guy Sensei and Lee? How did Kakashi become Hokage before Naruto? How dare he!

Then his thought wandered to Nu, he blushed furiously.

Darn it, why was he thinking of her now? Why was she, of all people,occupying his mind so much lately?

Why?

Neji was training again, this time he felt Nu watching him, not that he minded. Actually he felt happy that she finally looked up from her tablet. Now with a sketchpad in her hand, she watched him. The adult man knew without activating his eyes that she was drawing his poses. He heard her scribble line after line.

Not that he minded.

Not at all.

Flipping one page to another, she quickly drew frames with him on.

Then she put her pad down. Steps were heard:" Um, Neji-kun. May I ask a favor of you?" He turned around trying to fight that feeling that was burning in him that odd sensational desire.

Darn it!

"Um.. Can you teach me Taijutsu? It´s been years and my Animations improved a bit when I watch you train. I am working on a few fighting projects too so this could help me and you. They say teaching helps improving skills too." The man nodded quickly turning around, fighting off the red tint on his cheeks,

Taking a breather , he gently pushed her hands and legs into a basic Academy fighting style:" Oh alright first-"

It snowed, it was cold at the fire place gently crackled down the fire wood.

Winter was here.

Neji was sitting next to his caretaker on her table, sipping on hot chocolate. The woman smiled:" You are gonna love this, it´s my Christmas gift to you! I made it just for you." She opened up a tab on her laptop and when on Videotube. To her channel, she was some animator there or something. Had about 500.k followers. She opened up a video title ´´Gentle hands´´. It had a very catchy song in the background. It had frames of him doing his basic taijutsu stances, mixed with other exotic stuff he does on a daily dose. It started out with him doing his morning routine like running, mediating, and nice background that had flora and tree designs. While having his half ripped body wrapped in bandages. Then it quickly turned into an epic fighting montage against some bad guys. It was epic, especially how the camera panel and his hair flowed. He turned away hid his blushing face. He wanted to destroy the drawing tablet so bad now.

Why?

" Gosh, you fast!.",Nu ran after Neji, he did his daily running exercise as always, lately Nu joined him. Slowing down his pace he worriedly looked at the woman. She had a frail body, but damn curvy. Turning around he slapped himself.

DAMN IT.

You are not a pervert.

" Hey, why did you slap yourself." " Waking myself up. It's a Shinobi exercise." He lied quickly. The red-haired woman blinked before following his example. Slapping herself on both cheeks:" Ouch, memo." Neji stopped:" Memo?" The girl gasped:" Sorry it's just an old verbal tick. I thought I lost it." The man hollered in tears. " Hey, what is so funny, Neji-kun?" After he regained his posture:" You just like him, like Naruto." " Hm?…."

Neji told her about the blond Uzumaki. He also learned quite a lot from her too. She is also an Uzumaki with the chain bloodline limit. To save her, her parents abandon her to a non-shinobi village outside the great elemental nations. She only learned a few jutsus but she almost forgot them over the years as an orphan.

Grabbing her right leg her turned her body to the correct form:" No, you need to twist your hip as well, or else you won't reach your enemy like that." Sadly, letting go of her again, why did he want to hold her so long?-he watched her twist her hip and stretch her leg out. Finally she got it!

Then she fell down. Quickly he ran up and caught her:" Also you need to turn your right foot too." " Right Neji-kun and Thanks!", the woman blushed as the Hyuga kept holding her in her arms." You can let go now." " Ah, right", he softly put her down, dusting off the imaginary dust from her shoulders, he stared into her green eyes.

"Neji-kun?", with an uncertain voice she whispered, trying to get something out of the froze up man. He felt the blood rushing to his face and he saw her face turn red, coming closer an inch and inch than suddenly her phone rang. If the Byakugan had a laser attack, her phone would be history.

Slamming his palms against one tree and another, they quickly fell. Danm. He could not fall in love with her. She's a semi civilian. He would bring her in danger but he ducking loved her. He would bring her in danger because of his bloodline. He would be responsible to protect her.

There's always a huge target on the Hyuga clan.

The adrenaline was slowly going down. Taking short breaths he looked up.

He could protect her.

He's strong enough.

Not now but in a few months.

Why was he not taking any steps?

He gripped his fists.

He's a man damn it!

A Hyuga never falters,right?

Right!

His mind search anything useful his Sensei might have told him in his younger days.

FLASHBACK

" As longest you have the spirit and flame of youth In you nothing is impossible even love Confessions! Just take a deep breath and go ahead!" Guy Sensei stroked a pose in his green spandex before running around the village once more. Followed by his students. Two were exhausted but one enthusiastically followed him.

FLASHBACK OVER

He shuddered over the green spandex.

He actually missed it kinda.

Actually he doesn't.

He hopes he never ever sees it again.

But he missed the Taijutsu master.

Sensei your advice better work!

Pouting and cursing he walked towards the house. " Oh Neji-kun. Just perfect can you- oh?!" Grabbing her soft hand,he twirled her away from the fridge. Looking into her confused eyes, he sighed out:" I need to say this. I… I like you Nu. Actually I love you. I have fallen in love with you."

The woman sputtered and completely went red in her face:" Neji-kun. I...I...think I have too. " Then she passed out. He groaned. Great. But he joyfully smiled.

Guy Sensei 's advice worked. Somehow

" Thank you Sensei."

************££££******* In Konoha

"Achou. Someone must be youthfully talking about me." Lee stared at his Sensei confused. Kakashi just cracked his head to the side. Who would talk about him now?

It's been a busy month for Nu. She needed to finish a project. The whole ground was open and filled with illustration books and sketch ideas. The Hyuga yawned holding his temptation to drag her away from her work. Sitting down he started to read on of her Webtoons on her phone. Apparently she was quite the name in the art community. Not able to hold back anymore, he put her phone down.

He walked towards her. Softly he wrapped his arms around her waist as quit as possible. He sighed as he laid his face into her red messy hair.

Nu was tensing up but quickly relaxed when she felt Neji soft breath syncing with hers.

His hands wandered.

A soft moan was heard.

*******$$$?***?*******

" NEJI IS WHAT?" Kakashi yelled at Konohamaru. The teen held up his hands:" I swear. Neji is still alive. Look." The teen opened his laptop and showed a video. It has Neji in it. Fucking Neji. But how did Neji get into the internet? Kakashi took his chair and threw it out the window:" ARE THERE ANY AVAILABLE JONINS OUT THERE?" The door opened:" What a drag. Calm down. Your not Tsunade. What is it? New Mission? You now that right now there aren't so many left? We can use a Genin team." " I DO NOT CARE. Give me any available Jonins. Neji is still alive." The cigarette in Shikamaru mouth dropped.

" STOP LYING BAKASHI AND PICK UP THE WORK YOU LAZY ASS." Hokage dragged his secretary by his ear and showed him the video.

" Hokage-sama. Do you have leads on where this was made? By whom? This video was uploaded 5 months ago. It seems like that Neji is practicing and is injured, badly. We need one or two medical Ninja on this mission.", Shikamaru picked up his cigaret from the ground.

The fucking bastard is somewhere alive. He better be. But where could he start searching.

A loud bang was heard. Kakashi had opened the window:" I go myself. If no Jonin pops up I want to go myself." Quickly Shikamaru used his Jutsu to hold down the silver haired nut job:" First we have no leads. Second your the Hokage. Third we have quite a nice team. If you would give me Tsunade, Shino and Shizune and keep it under wrapped that Neji is alive we won't have any problems. If his teammates find out. Especially Guy Sensei. .." The Hokage stopped struggling:" But still…." Slowly they heard the door crack open. With a black cloak stood A black haired man:" May I accompany you? I mean that's the least I can do. Plus if Naruto finds out he would send Millions of clones in all directions and pass out. Not to mention he is on a vacation with his family."

" Hey can I come along? I found him first." The adults stared at the teen. Shrugging his shoulder the Nara caved:" Fine by me. You Konohamaru keep searching the internet. I on the other hand get the medics and Shino."

*?**************

Now.

How the hell did she got beheasted by a fucking Shinobie?

Why did she fall in love with him too?

The Uzumaki twirled her 'husband' hair while he was snorting loud about' Guy Sensei I did it' and ' I gonna be youthful too'. She shuddered

She had a weird feeling over that Guy Sensei he talk. Her phone rang. She picked up:" NU I AM COMING OVER IN TWO WEEKS TO STAY AT YOUR SCRAPPY PLACE! MAKE ROOM FOR THREE PEOPLE. I HATE JOKA ANIMATION SO MUCH THEY UNDERPAID ME." Neji twitches and fell of the bed. " Arui. What the hell? So you-" loud peeps were heard. She growled. Great her frenemy was coming.

" Sorry my cousin has mood swings. Worse than yours." She slapped a futon next to two others before naedly putting away her books. Neji looked up from his pan as he stirred up the omelette. Frowning at his now 'wife's he put up the food on the table. The woman walked towards him.

She giggled and smirked towards him.

Was she trying to attack him again.

He raised an eyebrow:" Don't. Your million years far to beat me." The woman took his hand and placed it on her belly:" I was not thinking about that . It seems that you are gonna be a father. It's been 4 months and I have not been bleeding at all so I took a test."

He blinked.

She was joking ?

TenTen would kill him!

With a million konami knives.

Not that she would land any hit anyways.

Wait she was not here!

Yay he would live!

Quickly his veins around his eyes formed. Right there was a small pulsing dot with life. It was not chakra it was actually a damn 3 week old fetus.

He fainted.

" NEJI-KUN!"

■■■■■》~~to be continued~~

Back in Konoha an elderly man looked up the sky. He felt a sudden urge to see his grave.

" Father don't forget to drop your paperwork by the Hokage." , Hanabi tapped her father softly. The man nodded before taking the paper and walked towards the tower. A chair flew out the window. Yelling ensued. He quickly dodged the flying object.

When arriving at the tower he heard more shouting. One belonged to the former and current Hokage:" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES ALIVE? IS THIS A SICK JOKE?"

" THINK ABOUT IT. HIS BODY WAS NEVER FOUND OR RECOVERED. THIS VIDEO HAS EXPLICIT DRAWINGS OF NEJI. HE IS SOMEWHERE ALIVE."

" BUT HOW?" "

THAT IS WHY I AM ASSIGNED YOU TO SHIKAMARU TEAM. TO FIND OUT! ONLY KAMI KNOW. MAYBE HE'S IN GREAT PAIN OR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED OR HELD HOSTAGE. MAYBE IT IS A SICK JOKE BUT IF HES STILL ALIVE BRING HIM BACK. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO BREAK EVERY BONE OF HIS. THATS AN ODER FROM YOUR HOKAGE TSUNADE. We assume that he's outside the elemental Nation. Quite far from here. We have 3 places: Idori, the islands of Oru and the neighbouring continent Tu."

The old man dropped his paper.

Neji.

He was alive.

Neji woke up feeling groggy. A small shudder went down his spine. He felt a storm coming

A heavy on.

He walked over to his wife. She was leaning on the balcony window. On left on the ground one leg on the veranda. He went on his knees and leaned his head against her belly.

A smile crept on his face.

He was a father.

Then he felt a hand going through his hair.

Hiashi changed. Hinata realised that once she walked into her father's compound holding her two babies. She saw family members flinch in fear from the training yard.

Her father was going to travel on his own. So he resumed training.

Naruto tense up next to her. He was sensing something. Something he explain.
