Chereads / Naruto: Nejis half brother / Chapter 4 - Progress

Chapter 4 - Progress

[Hyuga clan]

It's been a while 2 month at the Hyuga compound since the talk between the clan head and his brother about the new upcoming genius of their clan. During those two month Jiyū had been practically living with his uncle as he had been overseeing his training. Although wanting to laze around and either sleep or do nothing Jiyū understands that it is important for him to build a solid foundation in training.

And who better then his uncle to help with that. 'Although the constant attempts at brainwashing are getting dull… left!' As Jiyū deflected another strike from his uncle he took a step back before activating his byakugan and rushing in with a flurry of gentle fist attacks aimed at the tenketsu. "8 trigrams, 32 palms…! Dashing fowards and aiming precise and lethal strikes the attacks started. "2 palms…" Hiashi seeing the moderately speeding attack dodged slowly and precisely and watched as the attacks continued coming "4 palms…! 8… palm…! 16 palms…!" As Jiyū swatched all his attacks either dodged or deflected he slowly watched as his uncle clawed his palm grabbing it and stopping the attack before aiming a strike at his tenketsu, caught off guard Jiyū took the hit incapicating him, causing his legs to give out and to fall to his knees.

"You've improved a lot Jiyū but you're to predictable with your attacks, and although your power is good your speed is lacking. Try and add more strategy when facing opponents, wether they're stronger than you or not, you always need to prepare a backup" Jiyū breathing heavily on the floor clutching his chest seemingly not paying attention over the pain, suddenly dispersed into a puff of smoke making Hiashi' eyes widen before jumping out of the way as Jiyū who was transformed into a rock almost succeeded in landing a hit from behind. "What where you saying about strategy earlier, uncle?" Giving a small grin at his uncle Jiyū slowly let his guard down before walking over.

"Well done Jiyū I never expected that, I thought I was going to be disappointed today as you charged in recklessly but I'm impressed at your strategic abilities… however… you have let your guard down, I never said training was over did I?" Looking wide eyed as his uncle stretched his hand over his head Jiyū tensed up until he realised it was just going to be a small pat on his head that his uncle enjoys doing for some annoying ass reason. "Well your still young, you've already done extremely well for someone your age, not only are you able to use the 32 palms and the shadow clone but you've also almost mastered the air palm.

Jiyū gave a small smile to his uncle as his palm appeared to go through his head. Hiashi' eyes widened as he realised he had been tricked twice by his nephew, looking over to the extra tatami mat that had somehow appeared during the spar, Hiashi let out a small smile before shaking his head. "Haaa~ alright Jiyū let's go inside now, freshen up and head over to your house. Hizashi wants to talk to you about something.

Undoing the transformation, Jiyū stood up with a yawn and walked inside the house to go change out of his training Gi. As he is walking through the corridor his body seemed to be on edge. 'My lazy senses are tingling. Something troublesome is heading my way…' looking at his sweaty clothes decided wether it's worth changing here with the slowly impending trouble heading his way or just leaving as quickly as possible. Jiyū hears a small voice in the distance sending a shiver up his spine. 'Screw this I'm out, that demoness won't let me laze around with her boundless energy.'

Not wasting a second Jiyū uses a shunshin and high tails its out of ther not noticing the slight amusement that appeared on Hiashis face as he observed Jiyū's reaction to his youngest daughter Hanabi. "Father! Where's big brother Jiyū?" Hanabi skipped over to her father who seems to be contemplating something and looked on with anticipation at his answer.

Looking down at his mischievous and energetic daughter Hiashi lets out a small sigh as he can't help but compare her to her elder sister Hinata who seems to pale in comparison. "He just left using the body flicker jutsu. You just missed him." Hiashi looked on amused as his daughter crossed her arms and pouted in annoyance. "Hmph, he always runs away when I want to go out to play him. I'll go play with Hinata instead." Watching as his youngest daughter walked away to go find her sister Hiashi sighs as he thinks about the talk he had with Hizashi about deciding to finally enroll Jiyū into the academy. Although they wanted to keep him in the clan to train for a at least another year, recent news of the uchiha prodigy had put some pressure onto them so the elders pressured them to send Jiyū to raise their clans prestige.

Arriving home Jiyū slides open the door and walks in ignoring Nejis annoying voice saying something about meeting and 'father.'

After freshsening up with a light shower and changing out of his training clothes Jiyū is intercepted by Hizashi who seemed to have been waiting for him to finish so they could talk. Looking over at the man he had no feeling for Jiyū kept a neutral expression. Although Hizashi is his supposed 'father' they both know Jiyū would never call Hizashi the word 'father'. This is due to Jiyū not only knowing Hizashi's intentions as the man never bothered hiding them from him but also because he expects him to become a slave to the main family. Although he is disgusted by Hizashis weakness Jiyū still holds a small amount of respect for him as he is holding back from taking his life due to him and Neji.

Looking at Hizashi expressionesly Jiyū watches as the man sighs in what appears to be resignation. "Jiyū, the clan has decided that it's time you enrolled into the academy, so you could have the honour of gaining prestige for the Hyuga clan." Watching as his normally lazy and expressionless son show a slightly disgusted face at him Hizashi let out another sigh before handing him the enrollment papers and leaving. "Make sure your at the academy by 7am tomorrow for the inauguration ceremony." Taking the papers and walking away to his room Jiyū slowly allows a grin to form on his otherwise expressionles face.

'Finally, this family has been like a prison. I'll enjoy the academy as I like, screw the family prestige… I don't want any of their shitty honour.' As his excitement gave away to fatigue Jiyū slowly fell asleep with gradual breathing.
