Ranmaru shuddered as another explosion rocked the tunnels they were hiding in. Naruto had been right about the attack. Still, the boy could fathom Raiga being a bad person after all he'd done for him...and all that Ranmaru had done for the man. Looking around for anyone, Ranmaru found himself moderately alone save for a few people huddled close together further inside the mine.

Steeling his nerves, Ranmaru clawed at the wall for support and raised himself on weak, shaky legs, and made for the entrance of the mine, one step at a time. His eyes glowed red as he searched for Raiga's chakra, finding many similar to Naruto's. He realized that these were merely clones, and looked further. A spike of pain his his eyes for a moment, making him close them. He felt something creeping along the sides of his face but chose to ignore it, and was surprised to find his vision slightly better than before.

He could see further, and clearer than before. He began his search anew as the familiar signarture of Tayuya rushed by.

=x=

"You know, it would be nice if you didn't glare at me like that all the fucking way there!" Tayuya spat, finally losing her patience with the Hyuuga as he glared at her with his Byakugan. "It's not like we haven't gone through this shit already! I'm part of the Konoha shinobi now, so no need to try to stare me to death!"

"That remains to be seen," Neji growled out as the lept over the buildings, "I have yet to hear how far your loyalties for our village goes!"

"That's enough out of both of you," Tsunade sanpped at them, "We evaluate her later, right now we need to find Naruto before he does something - "

A large bolt of lightning shot up into the sky in front of them, quickly followed by another, larger blast of lighting that shot off into the distance over the town. The clash of steel could be heard.

"- stupid." Tsundae finished.

"Fuck!" Tayuya spat and shot away from the team toward the obvious battle.

"Wait!" Tenten yelled after her.

"Tayuya-oneesan!" Someone yelled, causing the red-head to stop in her tracks, and jump down to the ground. There was Ranmaru, stumbling toward her with shaky legs, and...glowing white eyes.

"Ranmara?" Tayuya breathed out as she took in the change to his Kekkei Genkai, "What the fuck happened to you?"

"I was trying to get to Naruto-nii, and maybe stop Raiga-san," the boy explained, not noticing the difference in his eyes.

"That's not what I - "

Neji landed beside her, his Byakugan trained on her, "What do you think you're doing?" He growled, dropping into his Juken stance, ready to take her down, "If you're trying to run, then I suggest you -" He then caught sight of Ranmaru, the boy looking worn out and frightened by his arrival, "You there! Why do you have the Byakugan?!"

"Byakugan?" Ranmaru asked timidly as Tayuya moved in front of him protectively, "My Kekkei Genkai is called the Shakugan."

Neji growled and strode forward, prompting Tayuya to whip out a kunai from her pouch. "Don't you touch him, you bastard! He's telling the truth! His eyes weren't like this when we found him!"

"Get out of my way, harlot!"

"What the fuck did you call me?!"

"Stand down!" Tsunade roared as she landed on the scene, "Neji, step back! Those are natural eyes, not implants!"

"How can you be so sure?" Neji asked, an edge in his voice, but Tsunade just glared at the young shinobi.

"I'm a medic, the best of the best," Tsunade told him, "I've done my fair share of implating eyes, and those are not implants. Whatever this Shakugan is, it's obvious that it's a premature Doujutsu. It could have developed into anything, why it became a Byakugan is beyond me."

Tenten, Sakura and Lee stayed on the roof tops, watching in worry at the stand off between Neji and the girl that had been leading them, wondering if the Hyuga would attack. But the sight of the small, weak-looking child being defended by the same kunoichi was something to see as she stood up to the Byakugan user.

Neji, cooling down for a moment, deactivated his eyes, "I see, so this is a pure mutataion of a developing Doujutsu, but I cannot ignore the face that a non Hyuga has a Byakugan as powerful as this. None in our clan have seen a glow like the one is his eyes since the time before the clan was founded."

Ranmaru took comfort in Tayuya's presence, leaning on her for support. "I don't understand. Why do you keep saying that my eyes are different? They're red, right?" He asked of his guardian.

Tayuya knelt down and slipped her Hitai-ate from her waist, and held it up so that Ranmaru could see his reflection. Ranmaru was more than a little shocked. Where once his grey-blue eyes would glow red, now they glowed a near ghostly white while small veins protruded from the skin around the edges of his eyes. "Wh-what's wrong with my eyes!"

"It's called the Byakugan, or All-Seeing White Eye," Tsunade said to the child, "It allows the user to see a full three-hundred-sixty degrees around them, and also see the chakra pathways inside a person's body, which helps the Hyuuga clan when using their Juken fighting styles." She took a few steps to close the gap between her and the pair as she knelt to examine the boy, "How your eyes developed into them, I don't know." She then eyed Tayuya as the girl hovered over the boy, "How did you come across him?"

"Raiga was using him as a second set up eyes, so no one could take him from behind," she told the Godaime, "I managed to get him away from him before Naruto knocked him over a cliff."

"From the sounds of that, it seems that he was already developing into the Byakugan for some time," she looked at the boy once more, "Is there anything else you noticed from your eyes?"

Ranmaru nodded shyly, "I -"

Before he could answer, yet another, stronger blast of lightning flew over their heads, causing them all to duck down as Tayuya covered Ranmaru with her body until the lightning was gone.

"We can worry about this later," Tayuya snapped, "Naruto might need help!"

=x=

Raiga laughed manically, "You've got guts, but you can't beat me, Gaki, you're outta your league!" He lashed out at Naruto with his remaining blade clashing against it's brother as Naruto defended himself from Raiga's attack, lightning sparking from where the blades met. Naruto felt the blade in his hands, almost as if it was guiding him, rise above his head, bringing the hilt level with Raiga's face.

This is...Naruto suddenly felt the energy from the sword shoot up, "Raitō Jutsu: Rakurai!" The lightning shot up into the sky above them. The clouds above sparked and crackled and the bolt came back down, splitting apart and striking the ground where Raiga had been as the nuke-nin lept to avoid the deadly strike.

Naruto saw his chance and once again forced his chakra into the blade, enveloping it in the lighting based attack. "Raiton: Soryuha!" He spun around, unleashing the attack, flying in a deadly arch of lightning that looked much different than the bolt of lightning that he was becoming used to. The acrh itself seemed to take on a life of its own and spiraled around into a serpent like form, two gleaming red eyes forming at the front. It wasn't the complete jutsu, but it was dangerously close as the technique roared after its target.

Raiga saw the imature dragon coming. "Raikyu!" He roared, launching the ball of electricity to intercept the attack. The two lightning strikes met, forming a vortex of deadly energy that shot spikes of lightning out in all directions. Raiga defended himself by deflecting the bolts away from himself with his remaining sword while Naruto ducked and dodged out of the way.

Dammit! Naruto swore angrily, I'm stronger than this! Why can't I land a hit?!

Idiot, came the Kyuubi's voice laced with contempt, You're not fighting like yourself. You're trying to fight like the Uzumaki before you when you still have much to learn about their ways. Fight like you fought before. Like Uzumaki Naruto.

But I know how to fight like an Uzumaki, he groaned as the lightning discharged, Aizen-jiji taught me everything I -

But you have only just begun to understand his secrets. Continue to fight as you are, and you will lose. The fox growled, The red female would not like that. Nor would your sensei. Put away your sword, Runt. Fight as you fought the Uchiha brat, as you fought the Ichibi Jinchuuriki!

Naruto got to his feet and activated his weapon seal on his palm, sealing the Kiba away for the moment. Raiga saw this and grinned, "Giving up, Gaki?"

Naruto crossed his fingers in front of himself, "Like hell!" He created five Shadow clones, three of which rushed in to occupy Raiga while the other two stayed with the original, one helping him to create his signature move as the spiraling ball of screaming chakra formed in his hand.

As the clones engaged Raiga in the Uzumaki Taijutsu, the original barreled in with the Rasengan ready to drive home. Raiga saw him coming and kneed one of the clones in the stomach, dispelling it, while he stabbed another through the heart. The last one ducked away from his back hand slice, slipping in behind him and grabbing him from behind as Naruto came dangerously close. Raiga struggled against the clone's hold, and pointed the tip of his Kiba toward the incoming blond.

"Raiton: Raiga!" The lightning bolt shot from the tip of his blade, only to meet with the remaining clones that had stayed back to guard the original, dispelling them in puffs of smoke as Naruto came within striking distance, and drove the Rasengan into his ribs. Raiga howled and as the Rasengan tore into him, grinding into his flesh, and flung him and the clone back against the wall of the canyon, imbedding him in the stone.

The remaining Kiba blade flew from his hand, twirling through the air. Naruto watched it fall and land, blade first, in the ground at his feet. With a little hesitation, he reached out to take the blade in hand, recieving a small spark of recognition as the blade allowed him to take it.

Naruto smiled, "Mission officially accomplished."

"Oi! Shithead-kun!" He turned around to see Tayuya leaping up onto the plateau with Ranmaru sitting comfortable on her back. The surprise was when Tsunade, Neji, Sakura, Lee and Tenten made their appearence.

Ranmaru slid from her back, standing shakily on his legs as he saw Raiga fall from the wall he crashed into. A spike of saddness welled up in his chest as he saw his mentor and former guardian lying there, seemingly dead. The prood was that Naruto was now holding the remaining Kiba sword without being shocked to death. Naruto had beaten him.

Jiraiya was next on the scene, appearing beside the blonde Hokage as he took in the scene with pride, "Not bad, Gaki, not bad at all." He said, flashing the blond Jinchuuriki a grin. Naruto grinned right back flashing him a thumbs-up.

Tayuya smirked at him and started walking toward him, then the smirk turned into a look of horror. "Look out!" Naruto turned around, and time seemed to slow. There was Raiga, on his knees, and his hands held up in the dragon seal. Tayuya ran in without hesitation as electricity formed between his hands, and thrust them toward the young Chunin.

"Raiton: Jibashi!"

A massive wave of electricity roared out from his palms, rolling straight for Naruto, who barely had time to register what was happening before a flash of red and purple was in front him. "TAYUYA!" Naruto's voice rang out across the canyon walls as the wave wrapped around Tayuya's body. The girl screamed then, the lightning cutting and crisping her skin, arching through her body as it locked in place.

She crumpled to the ground, her eyes wide and lifeless.

Ranmaru stood transfixed by the sight of the brutal killing, feeling something hot and wet running down his face from his eyes. His vision became something much more then as he saw the light in Tayuya's body fading. A small flame of life in the center of her being that was growing weaker.

What no one expected was what happened next. Naruto roared, his eyes glowing red with hatred as he rushed in toward the recovering nukenin, the sword pointed directly at him. Raiga, too weakened from the Rasengan, merely stood, and laughed as Naruto impaled him through the middle, driving the entire length of the blade through him.

His eyes searched for a moment as his vision began to fade, finding Ranmaru. A smile graced his lips as he faded away. Ranmaru...you're free...And then Raiga Kurosuki was no more.

Ranmaru stumbled to his knees, looking at the fading light in Tayuya's body, and scrambled over to her. Naruto pulled the blade from Raiga's corpse and was at Tayuya's side in an instant. Jiraiya was right next to the trio as he checked her vitals. "Tsunade get over here!" Jiraiya roared.

Tsundae rushed over and activated her mystic palm jutsu, and passed over Tayuya's body. Naruto was shaking with shock and rage as he felt Tayuya going cold. "Hurry up!" He cried toward the Hokage, "Can't you do anything?!"

"I'm trying!" Tsunade barked at him, "Let me concetrate here!"

Ranmaru was shaking himself. He'd seen Raiga almost die plenty of times, but this was different. Tayuya had just ran in without thinking, and blocked the attack. He felt something breaking inside him as the hot feeling kept running down his face, reaching up to touch it and find out what it was, he found his finger tips covered in blood. He was confused. How had that happened?

"Tsunade, you have to hurry, she's fading!" Jiraiya growled as the color faded from Tayuya's cheeks.

"Tayuya, don't do this!" Naruto cried, tears running down his face, "Come on, open your eyes, and call me a shithead like you always do! Come on!"

Ranmaru felt a hand on his shoulder as someone drew him back, looking up to see the rosette, Sakura, trying to gently move him aside. But her aqua eyes widened when she saw the blood running down the boy's face, and then saw something else. "Ranmaru-kun...your eyes..."

Hearing this, Neji came forward to see what was wrong. A stunned expression raced across his face. "That's...it's impossible!" The glowing white eyes that he had had before now had a blue pupil surrounded by a blue and white flower-like iris.

"What is this?" Sakura asked him. Ranmaru ignored them both as he moved toward Tayuya again, his hands and body starting to glow with chakra exuding from him. Tsunade was about to snap at him for getting in the way until she saw him. He moved to hover over the girl's body and raised his hands over her, his chakra feeding itself into her.

Shosen no Jutsu? The blonde thought, but then noticed that his chakra was now covering him like a shroud not unlike the descriptions of Naruto's Nine-tails cloak. It was covering him in a pale blue shroud that now moved to Tayuya. Tsunade reactivated her jutsu, and was shocked to find that Tayuya was recovering!

"She...she's coming back!" The Hokage said in wonder, looking at the child in wonder, "Ranmaru, what..." He wonder was short lived as she noticed something else about the boy. His chakra was feeding off his life force!

"Ranmaru, don't, she's fine, I can save her now!" Tsunade yelled at him, but he gave no clear signs of hearin her. "Stop it, you'll kill yourself!" Naruto looked up at the blonde medic and then at the glowing boy, and then tackled Ranmaru away from Tayuya as the girl sat up with a gasp of air flowing into her lungs.

Ranmaru was still after Naruto tackled him, but Naruto could see that the damage had been done. Ranmaru was no longer the little four-year-old that he had come to view as sort of a little brother. He looked older.

x|Meanwhile, Konohagakure no Sato|x

Kakashi sighed as he and his clones finished up the day's paperwork, "You know, Anko-chan, you don't really have to keep watching me all day." He said as the kunoichi lounged on the couch, her arms crossed beneath her breasts in a tantalizing fashion, "Surely you have something you'd rather be doing besides this?"

Anko just grinned at him the way that Naruto usually did when he had just played an epic prank on someone. "Nope, I'm doing my job, just like Tsunade-sama ordered. Mission: Make sure temperary Hokage, Kakashi Hatake does not slack off in his duties to the village while the Godaime is away. If he tries, then I am to either remove your Icha Icha collect or destroy them, either or."

Kakashi sighed, "No need to go that far," he said, already hating his new job as Rokudaime, "As you can see, I've been very successful so far in the last few days that those old bats haven't bothered to bother with me...please ignore the pun."

Anko snickered, "That's only because you keep high-tailing it as soon as those two come anywhere near the office." She said, and it was true. As soon as Tsunade had left the village, Koharu and Homura had descended upon the unfortunate Hokage stand-in, demanding things like he was a department store clerk. They had even gone as far as to demand that Naruto be ordered back to the village seeing as the Godaime had sent him on a supposed S-rank mission.

True to his nature, Kakashi had indeed high-tailed it via Shushin no Jutsu as soon as the pair had made the suggestion, saying that he had business to take care of. After that, Anko had found him hiding in her favorite dango shop. She then proceeded to drag said stand-in back to the mansion and get his lazy behind to work on the daily paperwork.

That had been three days ago. Now that things had cooled down, Kakashi was beginning to get a little uncomfortable with Anko's...attitude. True to her self-proclaimed nature, Anko often showed herself off in ways that would be considered clothed seduction. Anko normally wore provocative clothes on purpose to make the younger shinobi nervous, which worked more than she knew, but for the masked shinobi who had a thing for Icha Icha...

Kakashi was having more trouble focusing his mind on paperwork than if he had Danzo breathing down the back of his neck. Strangely enough, where most men would be jumping at the chance for a little one on one time with Anko Mitarashi, Kakashi was having trouble keeping his consciousness going. It didn't help him that Anko did indeed pose for him. Even now she looked about ready to pounce on him. Which made him, in turn, want to run for the hills. Anko was not known for her gentleness in the art of shinobi courtship.

As it stood, Anko crossed her legs, causing her already short orange skirt to ride up her thighs.

Kakashi gulped back a bout of nerves, "Can your really blame me? Those old crones don't know what's good or bad for the village anymore. Their methods are so outdated that even Sandaime-sama knew that change was for the best." He said, finishing the last bit of paperwork with a small flourish, "And that's all the clan funding for this month."

"I just finished up with the civilian income for the month," said one of his clones.

"I still have a few documents to go over with the coming festival this spring," said another clone, "I should be done in a few more minutes."

"That can wait until tomorrow," the original said, then did the duty of dispelling his clones, all vanishing in puffs of smoke, "Anko-chan, why don't you go ahead and leave for the day? I'm not planning on staying here much longer."

Anko stretched her arms above her head, and yawned, "Guess I could. Not like I've got much else to do." She stood, and head to the door with a profound role to her hips that had Kakashi blushing beneath his mask. "See you tomorrow, Ho-ka-ge-sama." She said with a wink over her shoulder at the man as the door closed, ostructing his view.

Kakashi then thumped his head down on the desk, "Tsunade-sama, when are you coming back?" He moaned, a small pool of blood flowing from his mask.

x|Back with Naruto|x

"How's he doing?" Tayuya asked in concern for the aged Ranmaru.

Tsunade sat back with giving the girl a patient look, having seen the girl in a new light after she'd thrown herself in front of Raiga's attack for Naruto. "He'll be fine after a little bed rest," she said, "but it's best that he not perform that jutsu again." She sighed, looking down at the boy, "I don't know whether it was a product of using the jutsu itself, or that it was a fluke because that new Doujutsu activated when it did, but because he had such a small chakra reserve, and used and used an obviously advanced medical jutsu, the technique fed directly off his life force as a result."

The boy in question was sleeping peacefully for the time being, watched over closely by Naruto and Tayuya after the battle was done.

In respect to the boy's affection for Raiga, Naruto had used one of the coffins he kept in the Kurosuki castle for his 'funerals' to hold the body and send it back to Kiri. As it turned out, Raiga's bounty had increased in his years away from the Mist village. Where once he was worth ten thousand, he was now worth twenty. That is to say that the message given to the Mizukage made it clear that the Kiba had been lost during the battle. Naruto had made it clear that he had no intention of giving up his new toys.

Both swords were now sealed into Naruto's storage seals, having added a new one to his left right hand for both swords to appear in his hands when he summoned them. "It's gonna make me look so cool!" Naruto had said not a moment before Tenten had begged Naruto to make a seal like that for her. Still dazed from her death, Tayuya had come out of right then and there when she felt a small threat to Naruto when the bun-haired brunette had gotten to close for her comfort.

The ensuing fight was interupted though when Neji came up to her. Expecting trouble, Naruto had moved in front of her protectively, only for th Hyuga to bow to her in apology. "I must apologize for my earlier actions toward you, Tayuya-san. I had no right to judge you before knowing you formally."

Lee had ruined the effect of the normally proud Hyuga's apology by grabbing his teammate in a 'manly' hug proclaiming how youthful he sounded as he apologized to such a youthful maiden. Tayuya was, needless to say, thoroughly freaked by the show. Sakura had put an end to that rather quickly with a few knock to the head for Lee, dragging the green best away.

Sakura was now reguarding her old teammate and the former, Otonin with curious eyes. Not once had Naruto called her "Sakura-chan" in the time that they had met up. But he was grateful for her help in taking care of Ranmaru and Tayuya's injuries.

"What can you tell us of his technique?" Jiraiya asked from his position of leaning against the door frame, "I've seen some strange eye techniques, but I've never seen anything like that before."

Tsunade tapped her chin in thought, "From what I saw when I examined Tayuya, I would say that the damage caused by the Raiton that hit her wasn't just healed, it was reversed. Normally, a medical jutsu for healing is meant to speed up the subject's healing proccess. What Ranmaru-kun did was completely reverse all the damage inflicted on her."

Jiraiya hummed in thought, "So it's not so much a medical jutsu, but more of a form of space-time jutsu?"

"I wouldn't go tht far," Tsunade said, "It was a medical jutsu, for sure, but one that simply reverses damage so that it seemingly never accured instead of healing it like the Soshen."

Neji, having been silent the entire time, spoke, "It is the reincarnation eye, the Tenseigan," he said, drawing attention to himself, "I had thought that it was only a legend, but apparently the legend is true."

"What legend would that be?" Sakura asked curiously.

"It is said that the Hyuga clan was founded by one who came from the moon," Neji said, "From her came two sons, and one of those sons possessed the Byakugan as she did. When he had children of his own, one of them is said to have been the first Hyuga, while the other seemed to possess a different type of gift. I cannot remember what it was, but the first child had a Byakugan so strong that is surpassed that of his father. It was said that he could even bring someone back to life with those eyes. But since that time, no one with the Tenseigan has surfaced within the Hyuga clan."

"Then how do you suppose Ranmaru-kun has it?" Lee asked, somewhat confused, "I had thought that there were no other ranches of the family outside Konoha?"

Neji shrugged, "If I had to guess, then I would say that he is a relative of the second child, the brother of the first Hyuga, who had a different ability." He explained, looking at Tsunade, "It is as Tsunade-sama said earlier when she mentioned that this was a random mutation of a Kekkei Genkai. I have never seen such a powerful Byakugan that it glowed as his did, nor have I seen the Tenseigan in reality."

"I see," Tsunade said, looking back at the boy, "but it would seem that the abilities came with a price this time...let's hope that I was right in saying this was a fluke. If this really is the Tenseigan, then it could mean so much for the boy's future."

"As a stud horse, you mean?" Jiraiya growled, striding into the room, "I didn't call you here so that you could drag him off back to the village so the civilians and those old bats could have a field day with him, I wanted you to fix his legs so he could walk properly. Naruto and Tayuya-chan already offered him a chance to travel with us, and I have no intention of not taking him along."

Tsunade glared at the man, "You know I wouldn't allow that to happen!"

"What's to stop them?" Jiraiya questioned, "Face it, Hime, the moment you bring him in, Danzo will try to sink his claws into him."

"Like hell he will," Tayuya snapped, "I don't know who this fucker is, but there's no way he's getting Ranmaru!"

Naruto rose, smacking his fist into his palm, "What she said, -tebayo!"

"Mmm," Ranmaruo groaned, his eyes opening, which were back to their normal blue-grey, "Where- ?"

Naruto grinned down at him, "Welcome back, Ranmaru. Thought you'd never wake up!"

Ranmaru smiled at him and absolutely beamed when he saw Tayuya, "Tayuya-oneesan! You're okay!"

Tayuya grinned, and smacked gently on the head, "All thanks to you, ya crazy little shit. Next time, though, I think I'll just let Shithead-kun fry." She shivered, "Dying was no fuckin' fun at all."

Ranmaru smiled as Naruto glared at her, then looked around the room, "Is Raiga-san...?"

Naruto hung his head, "Sorry, Ranmaru, after he hit Tayuya, I lost it and killed him." Ranmaru felt tears stinging his eyes.

"I see," he said, "Strangely, I feel that Raiga-san is happy now. Did he...did he suffer?"

"It was quick," Tsunade told him, "But you're a different story." She quickly explained what had happened to him, not sparing any details as Ranmaru listened. He remembered very little after Tayuya had been struck down, but he vaguely recalled trying to save her as he'd done for Raiga on occassion. Hearing that his Doujutsu had further evolved made him wary of his new power. He knew little of the Byakugan, but he knew that it was very saaught after like the Sharingan. Raiga had warned him that his eyes would always attract unwanted attention, because, in the world of shinobi, the Doujutsu were the most saught after in the world.

He looked at his blond and red-haired friends, "Is it still alright that I come with you?" He asked timidly, "With Raiga-san gone, I have no one to turn to, but I'll understand if you don't want a burden along with you." As he finished, Tayuya unexpectedly bonked him on the head, hard. "OUCH!"

"You fuckin' idiot!" Tayuya spat, "Look here, when I started out with these two nut-fucks, my legs were totally smashed to hell, but Jiji over there still helped me and offered me a place with them," she said, jerking her thumb over at the white-hair Sannin, who chuckled at the stunned looks on Tsunade and her team, Sakura being the most surprised as she blushed at the colorful language flowing from Tayuya's mouth. "And before any of that bull shit, I was Shithead-kun's enemy. I was going to kill him, get it?" She said, looking the boy in the eyes.

"I...think I do?" Ranmaru said uncrtainly.

Naruto just grinned, "What she's trying to say is that even if you end up slowing us down a little, you've got a place with us for as long as you want." He said, looking at his friend and current training partner, "Right?"

"Yeah, what he said," Tayuya said, crossing her arms. "Not like we're in that big of a hurry anyway."

Jiraiya smirked, "No, there's no hurry. And if you stick with us, Ranmaru-kun, you'll most definitely improve as a shinobi if you wish to become one." He said to the boy, "I'll train you right along side these two until you're as strong as you can be. I'll even find a way to help you with your Doujutsu if I can."

As the growing team spoke, Neji was pondering what he was going to do. While it was indeed surprising that a new, and more powerful Byakugan outside the clan surfacing needed to be reported to the elders, but the fact that an actual Tenseigan had been born right in front of his eyes was astounding. Surely the Hyuga clan would want to hear more about this upon his return.
