Prologue
The darkness of the night normally quiet and abandoned with the exception of the occasional traveler, this darkness however was not a peaceful one, overwhelmed with the sounds and flashes of explosions. Sounds of metallic clashing with the other metallic weapons causing the clinging that is accompanied by screams of the injured and fallen shinobi in the background, the eco of war disturbing the peace and harmony that had once been a part of the land.
A strong man traveled through these damaged woods. Creators and destroyed trees are all that can be seen in the troubled times of hopelessness that is war. Maneuvering swiftly and gracefully, quickly taking out any enemy that may cross his path. Bloodlimit can be clearly seen eyes scanning the surroundings of the path that his traveling in. Searching for any fallen survivors friend or enemy that may have made it out of a battle alive, his mind set full on his surroundings setting what he desires the most into the back of his mind. He has returned back into this battle that seems to have no end. He wished he could have stayed home with his clan and the family that will soon come into this horrid world.
Looking up he sees the dark blue sky high above with the bright shining stars… the orb that reminds him so much of his people and most of all the one he treasures the most. A small smile momentarily appears at the thought of his wife only to be replaced with the stoic mask that he wears. His eyes fully activated the prideful leader's eyes spot a rather large cave up ahead. Never letting his guard down the brown haired male arrives at the entrance of the hollow darkness that waits. Boosting the amount of chakra around his eyes he checks thoroughly the inside for any traps that could await him in his temporary shelter. Satisfied with the results he entered the large hollow in the rock lightly reducing the amount of energy that flows around his eyes veins.

Smirking a stoic man stands before the remains of the battle that he was about to end completely. His dark hair lightly moving from the amount of power that ended the life's of seven of his opponents with the exception of the rain squad's Capitan. Satisfied with the extent of his attacks power the dark haired male starts to slowly make his way towards the fallen rain leader. Taking a fist full of hair he makes the Capitan face him roughly yanking at him.
Waiting for death to fully take his breath and welcome the end as his comrades did. His comrades… his fallen squad, companions in this time of hell. Thinking of his team the Capitan felt that he would did as any other did protecting his people… his country… his nation. Being forcefully yanked up by his hair he sees the man, the man they thought would be a quick and simple battle. Rage fills his mind and heart when he sees his foes head band.
Konoha.
Not just any ordinary fire nation soldier. This man brlonged to one of the most power full clans within the hidden village and to make matters worse he was their leader, how he missed such a fact? He does not know all he knows is that he is still a Capitan and will not say a word. "Just kill me I aint gona tell ya shit!" Spat out the surviving man looking at him directly with the little energy that he had left. His skin was severely burned to the point that it blistered and popped gushing blood, the poor rain nin was barely recognizable. The only thing that kept him conscious was his pride, the Capitan was not about to give the man in front the satisfaction of trying to trade his life for information. He wanted to die with honor not as a snitch that was too scared to stay loyal to the land of rain his home nation. Then the fallen Capitan made the biggest mistake he could ever make he looked at him in the eyes. The Capitan's eyes widen when he remembered who he was dealing with. He felt even more anger and hate but he also now feared what could occur to his mind.
The serious man's lips quirked up to the side, pulling the rain Capitan up so the where both eye level, Then he saw the hate and anger in his fallen foes eyes it burned with such intensity that for a slight moment he respected him as a shinobi. If the tables where to have turned for some bazaar reason he would most likely do as the man before him, Of course the fire shinobi would never give any hints that he respected him. Activating his Sharingan three coma like dots rotated around his pupil.
Soon the remaining rain nin found himself in a horrid illusion that he doubted was an a illusion but his reality. Images of his fears coming to life and being in planted in every part of his thoughts, deep down he knew it wasn't real but he couldn't help but feel the doubt of the situation. The wonder if this man gathered the information that he held… feeling as if he actually told him directly. It felt like he betrayed his home land and the trust of his people because of his situation. Trapped in something that was so real and took his reason and logic from him his judgment desperately the rain Capitan took the sharp kunai and ran it through his neck "AHHHH!" he shouted at his action it was real he just ran a weapon through his throat. The screams where muffled by blood he could no longer scream he was now suffocating he was losing blood it was gushing out and was filling his lungs, he felt the pain of the situation cursing himself for being weak… that's what he was a weak coward that was about to die.
The clan head saw the way the rain nin kept to his word not trying to bargain for his life like a few that had done so. Then again he couldn't trust any thing that came from his mouth safest was to scan his mind for any information that he had and be done with this.
After scanning his deepest thoughts he decided to end this man's life as quickly as possible, he still respected him the others who had blurted out their plans had also been placed under one of his illusions. Of course he didn't let them leave and everyone was on their way again… no those suffered the most horrid and painful death he could provide, but not this man he had earned some of his respect and for that he would grant the man a quick death.

Hiashi's POV
It was late in a few hours dawn would rise and he would have to be on his way again, but for now he needed to get as much rest as he can during such occasion. The dark brown haired male had not been able to get the proper rest that any person needs in order to keep their good health. Though he isn't complaining he had just been in his village with his clan and family only a few weeks ago, it had been enjoyable to be able to spend time with his wife who is now 3 weeks pregnant with his first child.
The Hyuuga lived in the border between fire and waterfall of course their loyalty was to the hidden leaf since it was the first nation to be established, but for whatever reason his ancestors thought it better to live in a separate village… a type of branch village that would posses its own government, but would be loyal to the leaf. The land of silver… Gin
Hiashi believed that the reason for this is that his clan has difficulties accepting new ideas over their own believes, just a little over 30 years ago when his grandfather became leader of their clan and small village once again (after his father's death) he started to allow outsiders in to their part of the nation. He remembers when he had been six years old he had asked his grandfather why he had decided to make such decision as to allow mere civilians with no true clan or abilities to become a part of their village, he could understand wanting strong shinobi of powerful and respected clans to enter their society… but mere civilians. It was so strange and unappealing to him that he just wanted to talk his grandfather into allowing powerful clan members to join their tribe.
His grandfather had simply looked at him with soft eyes and said: "Times are changing Hiashi… if we stay as we are we will not get very far in these times of change." Was the older man's response.
The little boy was not satisfied with this and insisted "But we are a great clan our people have come farther than any other so I do not see why such an extreme change should be made the new comers will only ruin our land with their ways." huffing the small child trying his hardest to make his grandfather re consider his choice.
The older man simply patted the young boys head "You are so right my boy we have come far… and think just how much further we will go if we take faster steps instead of simply strolling along. One day you will have a bigger responsibility… much bigger than mine or than your fathers and when that day comes you will thank me for it."
The little six year old pondered his grandfathers words for a moment "Grandfather… did my father have plans to make this change too?" sadden eyes looked at the older man awaiting his response.
Looking down at his grandson the older male saw the sadness that shown in his eyes the young Hyuuga hadn't completely come out of the sadness of losing his father. His oldest son was so hardheaded and just as afraid of change as everyone else was when he had ruled the clan he wanted to make this change, but the elders wouldn't have it telling him that he was leader but they were older than he was and shouldn't be judged or questioned. He had no option at that moment and when he had stepped down he had proposed this to his son, the new leader had simply told him what his grandson had moments ago. In a way he knew this would occur simply because tradition was something that must be followed at some point in time he had been like that as well the only way to change things was for this drastic change to be made. Even if the oldest generation died they had implanted their believes into the following generation and it had become a cycle that need to break in order for them to move on further than what they all ready had. He was only trying to look out for his people nothing more… his wish was simply for them to be more prosperous they didn't need to change for all they knew the new comers would adapt to their ways. There was nothing wrong with a little change.
"No Hiashi… he did not…" was the leader's response to the small child before him "but is there really anything wrong with a little change? After all Hyuuga travel and some even live in the leaf… why can't we do the same for them?"
Big silver eyes looked directly into his grandfathers, the man before him had been more of a father than is actual one. He cared and listens to his opinion on everything as he was now the man before him was always busy as his father had been, but he actually made time for him and treated him like an adult not some kid who didn't know anything… he was considered a prodigy. He was only six and his father had been his example to become, but his father and grandfather were so different in many things and similar in many others. Did his father not learn properly from his father? Shouldn't they have similar opinions and ideas? The little boy wanted to grow up and be strong as his father and grandfather… to be a great leader for his people and maybe even for the new comers. They were mere civilians they would need as much protection as possible and it was true the Hyuuga were allowed in Konoha it was only fair that the leaf could settle here as well.
A determine look appeared in the young heir's face "You're right there isn't anything wrong with returning the favor… plus they'll need all the protection they can get." The older male knew he would be a good leader to all those who would one day follow him. His only hope was that Hiashi would take risk where they big or small changes it did not matter so long as he did not fear such a thing as change.
Coming out of his thoughts Hiashi saw that it was time to make his way back to the rendezvous.

Leaning against a tree a lightly tan male waited for his partner to arrive, it was strange actually now that Fugaku thought of it. Uchiha and Hyuuga working together he wasn't sure how or why but he wouldn't question it, they worked well together and that's all that mattered. No their clans where not mortal enemies from long ago, no it was simply that they were too similar and at the same time complete opposites. No they were not assigned by the Hokage to be partners nope nothing of the sort. They had simply been in the same enemy base at the time and accepted the others help at the time nothing more nothing less, but that's where they found that their abilities work well together. Fugaku has never had anything against the Hyuuga not at all he respected them as they did his clan, and somehow they have become partners and friends.
Fugaku was taken out of his thoughts when Hiashi appeared with a scroll in hand "Whats the mission this time?" asked the Uchiha
Hiashi tossed the scroll to Fugaku who easily caught it and opened it surprised by what their next assignment would be "So the third is finally giving us a challenge." Smirked the Sharingan user
"Yeah we get to wipe them all out" replied Hiashi with a calm face but on the inside he was just as exited to be able to do something like this.

AN: So what you think? This is my first attempt at a story so bear with me. Okay another thing in my story the hyuuga have some extra abilities and they are a part of Konoha but they live at the edge of Konoha near the border of between Konoha and Taki and in a way it's another hidden village within the land of fire called the Gin (Silver). They still use the konoha head band symbol but they just added something to distinguish them from the other. Why that will be in the next chapter maybe…
