- Neji POV-
Today, it's the April 14th. The third baby of the Mau family, named Kikyu, was born at the end of February, a blonde girl-baby. I suspect that she's Naruto's girl, he is Anbu too, I believe. Of course, the professional secrecy forbid Hinata to speak about her team-members.
Now I must speak with my wife about another subject, more serious. The children ate and are sleeping, we are both quiet in our apartment. Hinata gives me a hot drink and sit beside me.
Hinata: "Neji, do you want to speak about Hyuga, it's that?"
She understood it, like always. She can read in people as in open books. Frightening.
Neji: "Yes. I think that it's perhaps the good time to speak about the children to our family, so that they can live like normal children, without having to hide."
Hinata: "Yes, I think it too. Satsuki will enter in Academy after a few years. She must start to use her Byakugan now. But they will always be Mau, isn't it?"
Neji: " Yes. Rather death than to make our children become Hyuga."
Hinata takes my hand and tightens it firmly: "No, Neji, don't die. You must live, absolutely. The children will need you. I trust you to raise them with tenderness and to help them to find their way! You know, Neji... I am so happy of living with you... "
What happens! my muscles are weakening! I can't move anymore! I fall without force in Hinata's arms. What happened? A poison? Hinata!
She installs me comfortably on the settee, I feel more and more heavy. I still see her who smile to me with heat.
Hinata: "Neji, don't worry, in a few hours you will awake in full health."
Why, what occurs, Hinata?
Hinata: "It's time topart, Neji. My dear husband. Take care of the child. And promise to me that you will never make them become Hyuga."
She kiss me for the last time and takes in the case where she arranges her Anbu uniform and her weapons, a large black coat, a black combination, a black mask and a headband with a leaf barred by a cut. This headband disappears under the black mask. I recognize her.
Shinu.
The black hunter Shinu of Akatsuki.
We knew almost nothing about her. She become an Akatsuki member since 5 years. origin, age, face are unknown. The most discrete of all the members. But a frightening assassin and a wonderful spy.
Indeed, with Byakugan, it's normal.
How? Why? I didn't see anything, I guessed nothing! I was blind...
Hinata:"Neji, With you, I was just Hinata. I would have liked to be just Hinata still a long time. But it's time for me to leave this happy life. Farewel, my love."
- Hinata POV-
I have an appointement with Naruto in the Garden of the Hyuga principal manor. He's surely here already, he believes that we will speak about Kikyu with my parents. Poor Naruto, I betrayed him too since all this time. But my hatred is too powerful to let some place for scruples. At least, I will free him of the demon who have rotted his life. The spell that I have patiently woven for three years bore its fruits, I must complete it imperatively this evening.
Yes, he's here, in the garden. He entered without being noticed as I had said to him. The plants which I had planted there 5 years ago are in flower. I simply activate the spell encrusted in their bulb and they send their soporific pollen. Naruto collapses without making a sound. I slip into the Dojo and I takehere one of the treasures of our family. I go out, then I use the sceptre to finish my Jutsu.
And I call Kyubi.
- Ext. POV-
The wild howl of the red Fox vibrates in the whole village, awakening all the inhabitants. The ghostly silhouette of Kyubi appears, red in the black night, his large legs surrounding all the manor, his 9 tails whipping the sky. Hyuga too are awaked and run in the garden. Here, in the center of a circle of fire, a woman in black clothes stand beside a inert Naruto. She withdraws her mask so that they can recognize her.
Grandmother and Hanabi: "Hinata!"
She looks at this old woman corroded by sorrow, this mutilated and useless man, this paralysed and sterile girl. It's her work.
Hinata: "Five years ago, day for day, when I understood that you will chase mu out of the clan, I cracked. I stopped to all endure in silence. Why I supported that so a long time? And I make a promise. The promise that I will destroy the name of Hyuga, that I will crush you until there remains to you only pain and shame. Hanabi, arrogant little toad, you will never have children, I took care of it when I kidnaped you. You will feel the suffering to be treated like a waste. And soon this cage where I was scorned during so a long time will disappear. Live! Continue to live while crying of rage and pain! Or die, it's doesn't matter to me now."
Raising her hand towards the sky, Hinata calls: "Kyubi!" In a tornado, red light is engulfed inside of Hinata's fine body , devastating in the passage all the manor. When Hyuga and the others Ninjas who were here can raise, stupefied, they see only Naruto in the center of a disc of desolation. Hinata disappeared.
- Tsunade POV-
What a beautiful disorder, thanks to the so discrete Hinata. I didn't even launch a Anbu brigade to pursuit her, I know well that nobody can catch up with her anymore. My priority is to evaluate the damage in Konoha.
Some deaths, crushed by the Hyuga manor which collapsed. But it's all. The surviving member of the main branch of Hyuga was rehoused in the manor of the secondary branch. They are nothing anymore but the shade of themselves. I fear that the grandmother will die soon? too much pain, she ceased fighting to live. The field is devastated, but we can rebuild.
After a short moment of panic, I discover that Naruto was just sleeping very quietly, absolutely unscathed. He misses just Kyubi. Besides that, he's fine. But I don't know how he will react when he will opens his eyes and discovers the treason of Hinata.
The Mau family is well too. Neji is broken down, but her children are here to support him. He's strong, he will endure it. Mau will quickly become a powerful family, more powerful than Hyuga. Hinata took care of it. She chose good fathers for these children, and it was undoubtedly her only error, the only fault of her plan. Without that, I would have been as surprised as the others today.
But the Nanny detected the Sharingan in Satsuki's eyes.
I order an inquiry by a Anbu squad, and it seemed very probable that the father is Itachi. From there, we started to ask us questions and to keep an eye on Hinata. But I must acknowledge that I didn't want to believe she could betray the village one day. Even now, I think that her treason is just a secondary consequence of her decision to destroy Hyuga. But once someone is engaged on the slope of the crime, he can only descend unceasingly. And Hinata plunged, of her full willing.
She felt that she was under inquiry, undoubtedly, and she hurried to act before we have more proof. I would like to have more Hyuga so intuitive.
Bah, we won't cry. Our situation isn't so bad.
Hinata who become a vixen with 9 tail doesn't want to destroy the Village where her children live.
The END
NdA: "Shinu" Means die in japanese, and "Mau" means dance.
