4 Birthday Party

[RAIDEN's POV]

{FLASHBACK NO JUTSU}

Its been 3 days since our last talk about Mother. After that day Father finally decided to train me because he thought that I was ready. First he decided to unlock my chakra network.

When I first unlocked it, suddenly my chakra flared up and I tried to control it but was unable to ,so after chakra exhaustion I fainted. I then woke up at the noon and found myself lying on my bed and father was sitting just beside my bed with worried expression. First I was startled by his expression that what happened but then he explained me that while unlocking chakra I accidently activated my Byakugan which caused imbalance, so I exhausted Chakra. I was happy that I have Byakugan and started celebrating but my father's expression remained same. So I asked him what happened and isn't it great to have byakugan which had on /off button i.e. can be activated and deactivated according to my own will.

Father remained unchanged then I understood something is extremely wrong so I silently sat on bed opposite to that of father. He let out huge sigh and after that he started explaining about caged bird seal that how it is used to link to neurons and is used to destroyed Byakugan after the person's death and also used to restrict branch family members by waving simple hand sign and destroying their brain cells. I gulped down saliva in my mouth and remained seated silently for further explanation.

Then He started explaining about my Byakugan that it is very unique and seems to be some kind of mutation but he cannot say anything for certain as this never happened in whole clan history and he also searched for several old scroll but nothing was found but he was sure that my byakugan showed most potential among current hyuuga records far surpassing ni san's . I was shocked by this discovery as it happened to only me in whole clan history . Father then told me keep it secret from everyone even from neji ni san for security perposes . First I was reluctant at first but he told me that i can tell him in future when I become strong ,so I agreed to Father and promised to never tell anyone about it unless necessary. He told me to rest for the day and start training from next day. I just followed his command and just went for rest that day.

Next day father called both of us and told us that Neji ni san might get caged bird seal after lady Hinata's Birthday (which is two day before my birthday as she is 3 days older than me) but I am safe as Father personally requested Hiashi sama to not make seal on my forehead as I don't posses byakugan so i would not be threat to main family and stealing Byakugan is out of option , so he agreed to my father's request . I was both happy and sad , happy for myself but san for Ni san as I could see the sorrow in his eyes but he forced a smiled to congratulate me about my life ;a life without Hyuga branch family's destiny . I just smiled back at him because i didn't know how to comfort him and he had also seen it live when it was used on Father by Hiashi sama once since then he was started to be fixated on destiny thing as Father once told us that it's branch family's destiny to protect to main family.

After that we went for training Father taught me basics of chakra control , basics of gentle fist and strong fist which were famous taijutsu style of Hyuga and we did training for two days including chakra control learning taijutsu and also sparing with Ni san and Father. After two days of training they both were surprised as I was able to control chakra at level of academy graduates and I was also getting a little hang of Hyuga taijutsu. After todays training Father told us to rest as tomorrow is Hyuga princess Birthday and also informed us some unexpected guests from different village will also be coming so he will not be able to be with us tomorrow, as he will be security incharge .

{FLASHBACK NO JUTSU THE END}

As for me ,currently I am lying on my bed and thinking about past week that so many things has happened in past week its like my world changed upside down ; I came to know about my mother's death ; caged bird seal : Ni san getting a seal ; starting training .

'Hmm whatever man; tomorrow I am just going to enjoy the feast ,Its regrettable that Father will not be able to go there with us.

[POV END]

The Next Day

There was atmosphere of festival all around the Hyuga Compound. Everyone were enjoying the mood; some were laughing ,children were playing , Adults were drinking to their fullest because It was celebration of third birthday of Hyuga Princess.

Across the crowd a pair of kids were roaming from shop to shop eating , playing and enjoying the day . They were non other than Hyuga brothers : Neji and Raiden. After enjoying a complete afternoon they went to their home took rest as they were out since early morning and were tiered. After complete rest they decided to become ready for evening feast.

After some time

They were wearing traditional kimono for evening feast while going towards the party location . Raiden was wearing light blue kimono with dark blue belt which was perfectly matching for his eyes and his perfectly cut hairs and Neji was wearing same traditional kimono like his brother but instead of blue it was white with black belt and his hair were tied to form a single braid.

After some time they arrived there and it was already dark so most of the guests had arrived there and almost all the people present were or related to some high official or officers and waiting for Birthday girl while taking and eating with one another. It was first time for duo to see so many big (high positioned) people at same place. They were dumbstruck about what to do then they made their own plan .Neji decided to stick with Hyuga people and wait for birthday girl and Raiden decided to explore as he was not welcomed in hyuga.

[RAIDEN's POV]

'Neji ni san decided to wait for Hinata sama , I also wanted to do so but I was thrown out .He was angry with them but I decided to calm him down and told him to call him when Hinata sama arrives. Well lets explore' I was roaming here and there to find a company of kids of same age group as me . After searching around guest section for few minutes I then decided to search towards food section and after searching for while I found some kids around my age there were two boys one with black and other with brown and one platinum haired girl who was arguing to them about something.

After glancing at them few seconds I decided to approach them. I was a little nervous as it was my first time to approach someone of my same age as nobody in hyuuga come near me. They stopped their argument and stared at me.

"a..h..m .. Hello there!! I was just wandering around here to find someone around my age and then I found you . Um... Can I stick around with you if there is no problem? cause I am alone."

"Srr wgy goj , ra sre drnzg jssd hd ik firndk.(gulp) Wanna try some?" said the chubby brown hair boy.

"ahm Sorry I didn't understand what you said. can say that again..." I replied with confused look but he was already mouthful and about to reply me but black hair boy interupted.

'sigh' "Troublesome!! Choji you should talk after eating food." said black haired boy while his hands in his pocket.

"gabsghdv" (sorry) said the cubby boy.

'sigh'The black haired kid signed in defeat and replied me with tired look

" what he said that sure you can join us and also try some food it is delicious"

"Sure and thanks for the company. By the way my name is Hyuga Raiden . What's your??" I asked them with curiosity in my eyes.

"Hello !! My name is Akamichi Choji. Nice to meet cha!" said chubby guy after guping his food and was about to eat more. I nodded with smile.

"Man ! What a drag!! My name is Nara Shikamaru. Yo!! "

'Does he not like me. He introduced himself to me like it was too much trouble' I thought with confused face.

" Don't mind him. He is always like that. And my name is Yamanaka Ino, Nice to meet you. " said the girl with shoulder length platinum blond hair.

"Sure and Nice to meet you too" I replied with grin and joined them.

We then talked talked about ourselves. I also came to know that they were also from important clan from Konoha and were sons and daughter of respective clan heads of their's. We all talked for long time came to know each other more and after that we ate till stomach full but Choji was eating all the time . They also told to me come to Konoha playground in evening for playing.

After that Neji ni san called me and told me that Hinata sama is about to come so we all decided separate after saying goodbye to each other.

After some time Hinata sama came with her mother. We congratulated her on our turn for birthday gave our respective gifted. She thanked us shyly was happy that we attended her birthday party.

After some time party came to an end .I also went home with Ni san after saying another goodbye to my friends. After reaching our home we decided to wait for Father before going to sleep but we fell asleep while waiting.
