Chapter : Author’s Note: The Second Coming (of Edits)
Hello everyone
So, as you might've guessed — yes, this is a rewrite. The second one. Not the tenth (yet), so we're still in acceptable territory.
The original version? Let's just say it had... potential. And also enough plot bugs to qualify for a summoning contract with the Aburame clan. The tone was off, pacing was weird, and let's be honest — it read like the Hyūga Clan outsourced their story to a confused shadow clone.
But now? We're back. Cleaner. Sharper. Slightly more emotionally damaged (in a good way).The clan's still a mess, Hiashi's still awkward with emotions, and our boy Haruki is still the misunderstood chakra gremlin you didn't know you needed.
[About Haruki's Powers]So the Byakugan never awakened in him.What did his chakra do in response?Had a little existential crisis, ignored the eyes, and decided to spread itself across his entire body like it was auditioning for a Kaguya cosplay.End result? A soft reboot of Tenseigan + Room (yes, the One Piece reference) but not overpowered.More like: "Congratulations, your chakra is weird now. Everyone's either scared of you or wants to poke you with a stick."
It's subtle. It's messy. It makes the elders grumble. And that's where the fun begins.
[Tone of the Story]This isn't just power fantasy — it's about family, clan politics, and what happens when two boys (Neji and Haruki) start questioning everything they were born into.Expect angst, emotional gut-punches, quiet stares, a few warm moments, and the occasional sarcastic voice in the background (hi, that's me).Also, zero romance between cousins, let's not be weird.
[Feedback Welcome]If you enjoy the chapter, leave a review or comment! If you don't... leave one anyway, I need the algorithm to love me.Suggestions, questions, wild theories, or even emotional damage counters are all welcome.
Thanks for sticking around — now let's go see how badly the Hyūga clan is doing this week.
