4 I am....

A/N: This is an AU (Alternate Universe).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Konoha hospital, the sounds of a woman crying could be heard coming from a secluded corner of a room. The room was bustling with multiple people who were from other clans that were there for deliveries too, but for some odd reason, the only persons in that corner were a woman who was on the bed and a nurse, now with a baby in her hands.

Nurse: "Congratulations, Ms. Neha! You have just given birth to a beautiful baby boy!"

The nurse was smiling as she spoke but in her eyes were many tears. The woman that delivered the baby was weakening fast and because of other more important clans that needed help and care at the time, there weren't any medical-nin available to help her recuperate. On top of that, the father wasn't around because he had been killed in the nine tails attack a week ago as he was defending the village.

Nurse: 'Such is the life of a member from the branch clan of the Hyuga's. Even when she's dying she's not given much importance. Sigh. But, it's odd that she doesn't have that infamous Hyuga seal on her forehead.'

Neha: "P..please l...let me hold m..my son for a few moments before I go. At l...least let me name him."

The nurse quickly gave the baby to the mother and closed her eyes as she couldn't handle seeing a scene so tragic anymore.

Neha: O...*cough*..oh look at how handsome my son is. You look..*cough*..just like your f..father with those blood-red eyes and that white hair. *cough*...Hehe, you're q..quite the heavy one..."

The woman took a deep breath and activated her byakugan while staring at the boy, continuing:

Neha: "*cough* *cough* *cough*...y..your bones a...are quite strong, as expected of the son of a S...Senju and a H...Hyuga. Y..your n..name s..s..shall be T..tendo Hyuga."

Neha gave the baby back to the nurse and told her to bring her a piece of paper and some ink. Neha used the last of her strength to write down what looked like some sort of instructions on the paper and gave it to the nurse.

Neha: "P...please..take him to an orphanage. *cough*....i don't want him in that detestable clan. They already ostracized m...me for going out of the clan and g..getting..*cough*.. pregnant so I will not allow them to take out any of their anger on him. G..give him these instructions a...as soon as he..l...learns to...r..read. Y...you c..can pass it to the owner of the orphanage. T..thank y..you."

The nurse held Tendo in one hand and the paper in the other, watching as the woman closed her eyes for the last time and shortly after, died peacefully with a smile on her face. The nurse was determined to do what the woman asked and immediately set out to finish her task.

[At the Konoha Orphanage]

Tendo was in a room sitting on his bed looking at a small piece of paper. He currently had neck length white hair and his pupils were still blood-red as he hadn't activated his byakugan yet, he didn't even know if it was possible in his current body. But he wasn't worried one bit, as he knew this was a world where stealing and implanting some poor fellows' eyes was fairly easy.

Tendo: "My mother was quite a shrewd one. Who would've guessed that the peaceful looking woman in that picture would be a spy for Orochimaru? She had requested that one of Orochimaru's contacts save hers and my father's entire bodies so that in the case that I didn't have the byakugan I could take hers and if I didn't have enough Senju DNA to make me physically stronger, I could take his. My father was also the grandson of Tobirama Senju and im his great-grandson, no wonder I look like him. She also said that if I awaken both naturally, I could just use their bodies to strengthen mine. The last thing though...hmm. She wants me to give the main branch of the Hyuga Clan a taste of their own medicine huh? That sounds quite interesting, I guess I'll have to oblige since she's treating me so well. Still, one thing I find amusing is that she actually named me Tendo. Maybe that statue gave me some extra help when I was being born."

Tendo folded the paper and put it over a lit candle, burning it to pieces. After all, he couldn't let anyone else get their hands on such information.

Tendo: "System, show me my status."

[Ding!]

Name: Tendo Hyuga

Age: 3 years old

Chakra nature affiliations: Water, Wind

Shop Points: 0

Tendo was still adjusting to this world as he still couldn't fully believe this was real. He would've never imagined such a scenario in his whole life.

Tendo: "Ahh whatever. I've already wasted three years of my life here thinking about this nonsense. I need to start training. Since im here I'll start training the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist in the morning and the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist in the afternoons. The night will be spent strengthening my body with the Way Of Heaven Style. The training will need to be intense for me to unlock my byakugan and only through training can I figure out the limits of my chakra reserves."

With that thought and all his actions for the immediate future planned out, Tendo started his training.
