Naruto: Reformation of the Hyuga

Senju Clan Territory - Hospital

"Hurry! We need a medic-nin for Tobirama!" 

After making it back to the heart of the Senju clan territory, Senju Hashirama carried Senju Tobirama straight to the hospital. In addition to being a clan known for their vitality and powerful chakra, the Senjus were also gifted with chakra control and medical prowess. Their hospital was arguably the best in the shinobi world, thus it was no surprise when almost a dozen medic-nin, garbed in medical scrubs, answered his call. 

The medic-nin removed Tobirama from Hashirama's grasp and deftly laid him out onto the hospital bed. Hands glowing with green chakra swept over his body swiftly mending his wounds and abrasions and restoring chakra. 

Striding into the hospital, several adult Senju crowded around the bed. 

"Who injured him? That Izuna boy is far from intelligent enough to win over Tobirama." 

"It was that Hyūga boy with the Kaguya blood."

A strained voice answered the adults as Tobirama sat up slowly. 

"Young master, I don't recommend sitting up so soon, you're still recovering."

A medic-nin attempted to stop him, but he swung both legs off the edge and hopped down. 

"But don't go after the Hyūgas…he didn't kill me, despite having the chance. He's mine to defeat." 

Noting down the verbiage, a tall, stoic looking Senju, one a full head above the rest pushed through. He had brown hair, something common to the clan, with a white headband tied off the side, and wore full red Senju armor.

"Tobirama! I told you that you weren't ready to fight the Uchiha but you refused to listen. Did you enjoy eating that loss?" 

Tch! 

"Old man, why are you here? Not my fault that kid was freakish, he beat me and Uchiha Izuna at the same time but left us alive…a freak."

Mmmh?

Eyebrows shooting up to join his headband, his eyes bore holes in Tobirama.

"Now that I think about it, Hyūga Hikaru didn't really try to kill us either…he even let us rescue you…different."

Senju Hashirama wondered out loud on his way to his father, Senju Butsuma. 

"What about you Hashirama?" 

"Mmmh, more of a 1 on 1 on 1. But did you know the Hyūga Gentle Fist used Lightning chakra?" 

"Those traditionalists would never consider using anything other than pure chakra for their 'precious' taijutsu… Are you saying you saw something different?"

His giant head looming over Senju Hashirama in curiosity, Senju Butsuma's stoicism almost seemed to crack. 

"...Yeah, kinda. Well… you know the Revolving Heavens technique you cautioned us about? He used it…but it was made of water. And when he engaged us in taijutsu, even with the addition of kenjutsu, he countered us with palms wreathed in lightning chakra. I don't know if it was the surprise of the new technique, or him, but he kept us with Madara and me easily. Yet he never seemed to display killing intent, and even warned Madara and me about his brother so we could save ours…" 

"So the Uchihas are likely having the same conversation in their compound. With the possibility of the Hyūgas evolving, we need to stay alert."

Having all the answers he needed, Butsuma swiftly left the hospital, not even staying to comfort his children. 

Hmph...

"Wretched old man…" 

Hyūga Clan Territory - Private Training Grounds

'HUUUUUUHH????!!!!' 

Shocked by their 'new mission' Hyūga Hikaru and Hyūga Hiroshi simply stared at the newcomer. Long dark violet hair with an almost reflective sheen, a white kimono with a large Hyūga 'Eight Trigrams' symbol embroidered sideways up the front, and white sandals. She stood with one hand on her waist, the other pointed at the two. 

"Shall I repeat myself? You two are going to teach me, Hyūga Fumiko, Elemental Gentle Fist. I've scanned the whole Hyūga clan with my Byakugan, and this is the first time I've seen 4 chakra affinities in one place. Everyone else has only Fire or Lightning, or both. I've never seen a water affinity or wind affinity. But you, Hyūga Hikaru have Fire, Lightning, and Water Affinities, and you, Hyūga Hiroshi possess Fire, Lightning, and Wind affinities." 

Assured in her observations and conclusion, triumph colored Fumiko's face. 

"Why is it important that there are 4 affinities here? And how can your Byakugan even see chakra affinities so easily?"

"Mmph, you aren't the only geniuses in our clan. I have all 5 chakra affinities. But I don't care much about the earth chakra. After all, an Earth Gentle Fist is really just a strong fist once you give it some thought. And what I lack in range, I make up for in sight…but I don't have that much chakra."

Interest peaked, the two approached her almost as if she was a science experiment, Byakugan activated, perusing her without restraint. Red instantly colored her cheeks as tried to retreat. 

"I'd ask why us again, but now I don't even care. 5 chakra affinities, improved sight, and from what I can see, large amounts of her chakra are flowing towards her Byakugan, more than the average Hyūga."

Mind racing with calculations and speculations, Hyūga Hikaru began to contemplate.

"The Byakugan can be summed up with one point: sight. The better we see, the better we control. Her sight has evolved somehow. The Uchiha's sight, while good, is specific. High-speed recording and prediction. However, if you can see well enough to distinguish chakra affinities with ease, can you not replicate too?"

Pulling her by the arm as if she'd been a part of their group the entire time, Hikaru covered his hand in chakra before converting it into gently circulating fire. 

"Look with your Byakugan." 

Putting it out and restarting the process several times, he waited as Fumiko watched…and learned. Hikaru repeated it over and over again, when suddenly, as if possessed, Fumiko's hand rose and on it, the breath of fire began to flicker on. 

On. 

Off. 

On. 

Of- 

WHOOSH!!!

Flames surged out of her palm, flowing wildly before slowly receding towards the center. As if a spell was broken, Fumiko snapped out of her trance before staring at the flames slowly ebbing and flowing within her hands. 

"...I did it."

"Beyond that, you answered an even more important question for me. And the answer is: yes, the Byakugan can get stronger. Now the question is: how much stronger?"

"So Hyūga Fumiko, since it looks like you'll be joining our little squad, wanna tell us who the hell you are??" 

After watching his brother and Fumiko's little 'science episode', he began asking the hard-hitting questions. 

"Oh! Oh yeah, I'm the granddaughter of the Hyūga Grand Elder, Hyūga Hibiki, and your cousin on your dad's side. He's my uncle. Ah and I'm 9. My grandfather said something about a tournament to 'Keep the Hyūga Pure' or some nonsense, so I decided that if I don't use the traditional Gentle Fist anymore, I don't have to participate anymore right?" 

"So how do I know you're not just gonna attempt to run back to the elders to try to find the weakness in our moves?"

Suspicion coloring his Byakugan, squinted one while opening the other as wide as he could, head tilting as he prepared to 'interrogate' his 'suspect'. 

"Because I've spent 5 years shoving these very techniques into their faces in hopes they'd find flaws, for if I can't convince them to use the techniques, then at the very least, I should know how to improve them."

"Ah! Great f*cking Sage, my HEART!"

Smack!

As if arising from his shadow, Hyūga Haruki's figure appeared right behind Hyūga Hiroshi, with a swift smack in tow. 

"You know better than to talk like that. And hello little Fumiko, glad to see you're getting along with my boys. But the three of you can practice more later. Run along and get some rest. Tomorrow is the war council. The Land of Lightning has an outpost we'll be besieging, so you'll have plenty of time to train when we're gone. For now, spend time with your family." 

"Thank you Uncle, and I shall. I suppose I'll see the two of you tomorrow, no?" 

With one hand on each of the boys, Hyūga Haruki vanished in a swift Body Flicker. 

Hyūga Clan Territory - Clan Leader's Residence

Returning home, the small family entered the residence. Heading straight for the cabinets, Haruki snagged three gourds before filling them with water from the terracotta pots. Distributing one to the both of them, he sat seiza before he took a sip. Eyes like daggers glared at Hikaru and Hiroshi.

"So…you let the Senju and Uchiha go, didn't you?"

Eh?

"N-n-n-no…?" 

Hyūga Hikaru stammered as he attempted to cover for them, lying straight through his teeth. Hiroshi, on the other hand, was the result of the consciousness of a 22-year old thrust into the body of a baby, who now possesses the mental age of a 27-year old. Which is mentally…7 years older than Haruki. Yeah, ninja procreate young when their life expectancy is 27. 

So suffice to say, Hiroshi didn't care much for the 'stern talking to' his father attempted. 

"Yeah, I let them go. Fully possessed the ability and opportunity to return with their heads, but like I said before…I'm not really interested in killing."

"Good." 

Sighing in relief despite the thoroughly befuddled looks being thrown his way, Haruki placed down his dish.

"Your name. Hiroshi. It means kind, generous…gentle. Your mother desired for you a life where you lived like your namesake. I won't fault you for sparing an enemy's life, so long as you protect yours and your loved ones."

"...I will." 

Even the 27-year old wouldn't turn down a request like that.

"You two, and little Fumiko are our hope. The Hope of the Hyūga Clan."
