"Fuck off!"
I said that, but Kabuto suddenly appeared in front of me while away running from Kakashi, and threw a senbon at me.
It hit me in the stomach, and I blacked out.
So much for targetting Tayuya for her sound genjutsu.
--------------------------
By the time I woke up, I was in the hospital. Apparently, I was unconscious for weeks, and slept through the entire Invasion, and even Tsunade had arrived, given that she herself was pointing 3 fingers in front of me.
A sudden timeskip?
"3 fingers."
"Alright. Do you feel anything else?"
"Tired? Throat dry, but otherwise, more or less fine."
"The poison wasn't anything much. But I guess in my absence, the medical situation of the village has really deteriorated.
Orochimaru's lackey probably took you out because you showed taijutsu like mine.
So...want to learn the taijutsu and medical ninjutsu properly?"
I didn't really have any reason to decline. Though I would have preferred to learn Orochimaru's technique and finding a way to break the Caged Bird Seal, this seal will kill me on defection, probably.
Ideally, I would have learnt the Living Corpse Reincarnation, and taken over Hinata's body. Wouldn't it be poetic for me replacing Hinata, just as my father replaced Hiashi?
I nodded at her proposal.
"Yes. Can I move out from Hyuga clan then?"
Just as she was about to give me an answer, a knock came on the door.
I could very well tell that it was that damn Hiashi.
Tsunade could probably tell that too.
"Yes. I will prepare a house for you."
She still ignored whatever complaints Hyuga clan might have and agreed.
No wonder she is just SO MUCH better than Hiruzen. Well, no Hokage is really worse than Hiruzen.
But damn. A succeeding Hokage with such a strong spine. Just not for those bonkers, but also for carrying the Hokage and not caring about dumbasses' opinions.
I sighed in relief. Well, I will have another opportunity to capture Tayuya later. Sasuke Retrieval Arc is coming soon.
"Alright. You are promoted to Chunin. Come to the Hokage Office tomorrow to get your vest."
I was surprised. I thought that giving Hinata a taste of how much the curse mark hurts would hold me back from becoming a Chunin.
I guess preliminaries don't count.
Giving me some medicines, Tsunade left. Not before scoffing at Hiashi who was there on opening the door.
Then, Hiashi entered.
"...Are you alright?"
"I guess Hyuga clan's main family really has no manners at all. Disturbing a patient."
Now that I am the Hokage's disciple, I outrank the Hyuga clan. Especially since the Hokage is Tsunade, no one in the clan can do anything to me.
The f*cker ignored me, and came near my bed.
Then, he kneeled full Japanese style.
I activated my Byakugan, fully observing his brain and heartbeat.
"I apologise for the suffering you have endured..."
Yeah. No change in heartbeat or any brain reaction.
"I want to tell you the truth about your father's death."
He then went bla-bla'ing.
SKIP.
"Hmm, since father replaced you, you have to repay me."
"Of course."
"As father took your place, why don't I take the place of your daughter?"
He glared at me, full of murderous intent, but paused as he saw my Byakugan was activated.
The series really tried to whitewash this guy. If he really felt sorry, why would he be withholding the truth about Hizashi's death? Why would he torture the kid of his brother and savior? And then in that fanfiction called Burrito, he got turned into a typical grandpa.
Though I have lived a peaceful life before getting hit by Truck-kun, meaning that I should be mature, I hate him more than Neji probably ever did.
I truly came to love the father of this life. Afterall, I didn't have the memories until his death. When those memories really mattered.
I would have eventually come to respect father's wish to protect his brother, if not for the torture this absolute trash Hiashi put me through, the daughter of his saviour, his niece.
I absolutely loath him. I would love to cut off his and the whole main family's arms so that they can't activate the seal, and put them through the torture the put other people through.
"You are not really sincere, are you? Your heartbeat and brain signals only became unusual when I mentioned taking your daughter's place.
Just give me 2 billion Ryo and remove this cursed seal. I don't want to have any connection what-so-ever with you and your filthy trash-clan.
As if I will ever want to manage this filthy clan."
"I can give you the money...but removing the seal is out of question."
"50 billion then. And I will give you the same torture you have put me through right now."
He gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine."
As he was kneeling before me, I put me two fingers on his forehead.
"I will do it 249 times. 248 times that you tortured me, and one time that you tortured father in front of me."
"It's not torture. It's discipling, reminding the people of their duty."
Keeping my Byakugan activated, I looked at his brain. And determining exactly where it hurts when this cursed seal is activated, I pushed my chakra through.
"AAAAAAAH!"
...He screamed in just one 'disciplining' as he described it.
I scowled at him. Making noise in the hospital. He ruined my mood now.
"Forget it. I don't want to hurt a stupid idiot who has no value in this world.
Just give me 100 billion and ensure that no Hyuga ever has any mission with me. And tell your daughters to not even come in my sight.
Fucking bastard. Your younger daughter, or even elder one hasn't gotten her cursed seal yet. You are protecting your daughters. If my father was in your place, he would have abolished this slavery long ago.
Fuck off! You don't even have the decency to not disturb the hospital.
I guess all Main Hyugas really are just useless idiot beasts, whose only job is to pop out children and then enslave and torture them."
After hearing more pure words, he finally got up, holding his head in pain.
Then, he walked away.
But, before he went out of the room, he mentioned something.
"The Caged Bird Seal can only be activated when the person is under the sight of Byakugan without anything in between.
Hinata will deliver the money tomorrow, and then you won't have to come into contact with any Hyuga."
With that, he left.
Oh. So, after learning what I can from Tsunade, I can defect and go to Orochimaru. After he dies, I will kill Kabuto, and get all of Orochimaru's jutsus.
I will take over Hinata.
Hiashi will finally realise this when I kill him with the hands of his own daughter. That, to prevent his death, his brother had replaced him.
And due to his actions, his niece has replaced his daughter, who will torture and kill him.
