54 unexpected happens- part 1
In the blink of an eye, many months had passed. The clan was prospering, reaching new greater heights as four of their members had the capability to reach S-rank before turning 14.
As the saying goes, when everything goes so smoothly, something bad is about to happen. Unknown to everyone, even the person claiming to possess the ability of future sight didn't have a glimpse of the upcoming events that would befall the clan.
.
In the evening, a cool breeze hit the withering levels of autumn trees. The red sun was setting behind the tall walls and trees. In the middle of this peaceful evening, the family of six white-eyed people gathered in a lush green garden.
"Say my name, it's H-I-N-A-T-A," the firstborn of Hiashi sweetly called to her two twin sisters who were lying on the blanket that was placed on the green grass, and the twins attempted to catch Hinata's finger with giggles.
"No, don't say her name; say my name, it's N-E-J-I." Neji sat beside Hinata, hovering above the two girls, with a smile as he tried to teach them his name.
Their bickering continued, entertaining the two girls who were trying to touch their faces with their tiny hands.
Hinata's face was too close to them as she touched them with her nose. Suddenly, their tiny hands grabbed her hair and pulled.
"Ahhh… you little—"
.
"Hahaha, they are just like you," her mother said with a chuckle, finding the situation amusing.
'Karma's a bitch, and it's repaying me for what I had done to her,'
Looking at her mother, but without hurting their hands, she freed her hair from their demonic clutches.
"Hmph, I never did that to you," she lied as naturally as she breathed.
.
"Hehe, but they will say my name as their first words," with a smug and confident smile, she looked at her two sisters.
"Mmmaa…." two of them let out incoherent voices.
"Huh… what did you say," her confident smile turned into a frown.
"Mama," both of them finally said their first words with an innocent giggle, and it was not her name.
.
"Hahahah, see, they are my true daughters; they call my name, not yours… haha… come to mama, my little girls," she picked them up in front of Hinata's perplexed eyes.
"Mama...mama…. Pa….papa…papa…" with another giggling sound, they said their second words.
'What, not even second?' Hinata's eyes were even more stunned at the audacity of this bizarre situation.
.
Their father also had a proud smile on his face and started playing with them, pleased to hear his name.
*tap*
Hinata felt a comforting hand on her shoulder, tilting her head, and she looked at her true brother, "I feel you sister, don't be sad," he consoled her.
"You are my true sister; you're the one who called my name as your first words,"
.
"Yes brother, you're right, I was foolish. You're my real brother, hmph, leave them. I don't need them; let them play with their mommy and daddy, hmph," with an angry pout, agreeing with her big brother, she started to devour the snacks.
"Is my princess angry?" her father asked in a soothing voice, trying to coax her.
"No, I am not," not looking at him, she continued to eat her meal.
"Yes, you are," he said, ruffling her hair.
"Hmph," she just huffed.
"Hahahah, mama ... .haha," Hanabi and Arya continued to giggle in their mother's arms.
Tilting her head, Hinata looked at her two sisters, 'You little runts, laugh while you can. If I don't settle this score, my name isn't Hinata,.
.
Hearing her father's sweet whispers in her ears and filling her belly, she stood up and walked away, Neji following behind.

Soon, both of them reached the wrecked training ground.
"Are you really angry at them," Neji curiously asked, although he knew the answer.
"What do you think, brother?" she asked with a teasing smile.
"No, you were just pretending," he said, assuming his Gentle Fist stance.
"Hehe, you are right, brother. How can I be angry at them? They are, after all, our little sisters, aren't they?" she said, assuming the same stance as him. However, her hands started to envelop in dark blue chakra, and soon, in a complex arrangement, it took the shape of two lion heads.
.
"We use this at the end of the spar," he said. It only took two months for her to perfectly develop this high-level ninjutsu according to her preferences, and Neji had witnessed it with his own eyes; after all, he was the dummy whom she had tested it on.
Sometimes his chakra went into a frenzy, moving at a snail's pace, sometimes at a rapid pace, and sometimes almost all of his chakra was sucked away by his demonic sister, leaving him on the brink of exhaustion.
.
But once she had perfected it, he became vulnerable to her. Every time their hands clashed, his chakra was sucked away and became disarrayed due to the larger area of contact.
The lion's head covered and damaged much more than a normal Gentle Fist.
Initially, their spar lasted 9 hours, but after this, it was reduced to nearly 30 minutes. This only ignited more determination in Neji's heart. So, he also learned it, after enduring the beatings of his lifetime. He finally ascended to new heights, although he was four months behind her. This only showed how talented he was.
After all, he was trying to reach a person who was beyond his comprehension.
.
With this jutsu, she was unbeatable in taijutsu. The more someone fought her, the more their chakra was fed to her; they would become weaker and weaker by the second. She, like a leech, would suck their chakra and become more powerful as the fight went on.
.
"Now you're talking my language, brother," she smirked, looking at Neji's hands.
"Hahh!" With a battle cry, both of them launched at each other, their speed invisible to normal eyes. In the fading light of the sun, only two blazing pairs of blue energies remained on the training ground, appearing and disappearing simultaneously at different locations.
Whenever their palms, fingers, and heads of lions clashed, blue chakra rippled at the impact in a circular motion, creating a mesmerizing and ethereal sight for some elders and clan members to witness.
.
Hours passed by, and the intensity of their spar only increased. Their domes of chakra clashed with each other, sending them flying back like bullets. As the battle went on, the thrill and rush of adrenaline skyrocketed.
Dodging a strike to her heart, she momentarily looked at the spectators, a devious glint passing through her eyes, 'Enjoy while you can because your life of comfort is about to end.'
.
And just like that, their spar went on, and days started to pass, then weeks, and in the blink of an eye, many more months had passed.
In the evening, Neji and Hinata were still sparring, destroying the ground beneath them.
*thud*
Neji fell onto his back with a thud, breathing heavily. Their clothes were dirty and torn apart in many places; currently, they didn't look like members of a noble clan but lowly beggars of the streets.
The clan had to pay for new clothes on a daily basis. And with their young master tendencies, they only wore high-class clothes even if it was for training sessions.
.
"Hey, big brother, how's your days in the academy?" she asked, lying beside him.
"Hah! They are bland and boring, nothing is interesting."
"The title, student of the year, for two years, is nothing more than a flashy thing. Some of them didn't even know how to properly hold a kunai. Haha, master three pathetic jutsu, and you become a genin is nothing more than a joke," he said, huffing but sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"That aside, did you make friends or something like that, or did you just act as an arrogant prick who didn't put anyone in his eyes, the young master, the pride, the supremacist, blah, blah," she asked with her signature creepy smile.
.
"Haha, me arrogant? Nah, but you are the only one who can be so bold in front of me. To be honest, I don't feel equal to anyone in the class; the power difference is too much. No one had the guts to talk to me like you, so I prefer being alone," he told her the truth.
"So you have no friends, and you are also arrogant," her mocking smile only irritated him.
For a moment, he just looked at her, "Yes, sis, I have no friend. My pride doesn't allow me to make friends with someone lesser than me. Are you happy now?"
.
"Haha, you don't have to be so sarcastic," she just laughed at him.
But suddenly, their ears perked up when they heard a pair of little footsteps approaching them.
"Hinata baby, mommy is calling you fol dinnel," the small figure of Hanabi entered the training ground.
"Whele ale you, sweetie? Let's go, ol mommy will be angly at you," the second sister, Arya, was beside Hanabi.
.
Holding each other's hands, they quickly approached their sister and brother.
'Hinata baby, sweetie, these runts,'
They had picked up from their mother how she calls her, 'I haven't educated them yet.'
.
But soon, a smile started spreading across her innocent face, "You know, brother, Hanabi and Arya aren't our sisters," she said slightly loudly to be heard by the twins.
Hearing her, they suddenly stopped, unaware that they could be seen.
"You are right, sister," Neji said loudly with his own smirk.
The twins looked at each other, and tears started to form in their pure eyes after such a heartbreaking revelation.
.
"If I remember correctly, one day, father found them crying in a dustbin," with a demonic grin, she broke their frail hearts.
And in an instant, their tears turned into a full-blown cry.
*sob* *sob*
Wiping their uncontrollable tears, Hanabi spoke, "Y-you ale lying. I am my mommy's leal daughtel, 'sniff' sniff"
"Look, brother, they found out the truth," Hinata sprinkled more spice on their wounds.
"You ale bad. I will tell Mommy about you, sniff, sniff. I don't like you, Hinata baby," Arya's tears soaked her cheeks.
.
Tightly grabbing each other's hands, they ran towards their mommy, crying loudly.
"Hahahaha," Hinata's loud laughter made them cry even more.
.
