NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Nine Tails Rebellion
Konoha 50 years
With the birth of Neji, Kai's life became much better. Hizashi kept Kai at home on the grounds of looking for a reading companion.
But in fact everyone knows that this is to protect Kai. If Kai is beaten like this again, something will happen sooner or later.
And Kai also knew that Hyuga Yun was his aunt, and Hyuga Hizashi was his uncle. The newly born Neji is his cousin.
Next, Kai's life became much easier. He lived and ate with his uncle's family, and he also had someone to teach him from time to time during training.
Then Kai heard that the Battle of Kannabi broke out and that the memorial monument had Obito's name on it.
But Kai knew that Obito had been picked up by Madara, and the Eye of the Moon project was in progress.
Konoha 51 years
After a year of training, Kai's strength improved rapidly. Not only did he practice Hyuga Gentle Fist, but he also learned several C-level nintaijutsu from his father Tokuma.
During his training, Kai also found out that his talent was extremely high, and he could often learn ordinary Ninjutsu very quickly, and it was also extremely easy to refine Chakra.
'Comparing myself with my peers, my Chakra amount is already two or three times than that of my peers.'
Kai has some doubts that he also has the blood of the Senju family in his body, but it is very thin, but it is also reflected in Kai.
His mother might be a Senju descendant.
The Senju clan advocates intermarriage with common people, and the Senju bloodline has developed to this day. Many families can trace their origins to have some Senju bloodline.
Since this year, Kai has heard one after another that the chiefs of the major ninja clans have given birth to children, which also means that the Nine Tails Rebellion is approaching.
And he clearly remembers that the birthday of the main character Naruto Uzumaki is October 10th, which is also the anniversary of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
At that time, all the young civilians, Genin, were going to take refuge, and they might be able to take advantage of the chaos and make a fortune.
Kai's restless heart was just fermented but was quickly extinguished by himself. With his own strength, the first thing he had to consider was how to survive.
And in the original work, Neji's mother never showed her face, and she probably died in an accident.
Many civilian ninjas died in the Nine Tails Rebellion. The extent of destruction caused by the Nine Tails Rebellion to Konoha was second only to Pain's Invasion. After all, it ushered in a period of reconstruction after that.
It was at that time that the Uchiha tribe was moved to the edge of the village.
Thinking of this, Kai shuddered, and if a tailed beast came over, it doesn't matter if you are a Genin like Kai or a Kage level ninja, you have to run away.
That night Kai had been a little worried since the morning, and his face that always had a smile had a frown.
Yun also asked worriedly, "Kai, are you okay? You're not sick, are you?"
"It's okay, aunt. I'm just a little uneasy and think something bad will happen."
Suddenly Kai felt like he was being held in a warm embrace.
"Do you feel better? Your father always liked to comfort me like this."
"Thank you, I feel much better." Kai smiled.
"Auntie, let me take care of Neji tonight."
"Is that okay? He is very naughty and often cries at night."
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"Okay, that's troublesome."
Neji now often makes troubles that make it difficult for people to sleep peacefully.
"It doesn't matter."
Kai hugged one-year-old Neji. Little Neji has learned to walk, but he still wants to be held.
Neji also grew up next to Kai. He was very close to Kai and rubbed himself in Kai's arms again and again.
'Tonight is the chaos of Nine Tails. If I am with Neji, I can react quickly and bring Neji to a safe place.This way I can take repay Hizashi and Yun.'
In the evening
Kai sat beside Neji's bed, closing his eyes and concentrating. When there is an explosion, he will immediately wake up his aunt with Neji and quickly go to the wartime shelter to hide.
And Hizashi happens to be attending the clan meeting tonight. If he is wit the Hokage, he will not die at this time. If there is no butterfly effect, the Nine Tails Rebellion will not kill Hyuga Hizashi. Besides, as a Jōnin, he will not die so easily. .
Even if the Fourth Hokage has to fight with Nine Tails before coming, it will not be the branch house leader's turn.
Just as Kai was thinking over and over again about how to get to Konoha's wartime shelter as quickly as possible, a loud noise resounded throughout the world, and the earth shook for a moment.
Nine Tails has been summoned by Obito!
Kai opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the sleeping Neji, and wrapped him tightly in his arms with sheets.
Knocking open the door, he quickly came to Yun's room. At this time, his aunt had been awakened by the sound and was only wearing a simple pajamas.
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No! Come on! There's a giant fox outside!"
He grabbed his aunt who had not yet reacted and ran towards the shelter quickly.
"It's Nine Tails!" Yun suddenly realized after being pulled out.
Just as the three of them walked out of the courtyard, a clan ninja walked towards them.
It was Naoto Hyuga, the son of the second elder.
" Yun, go put on your ninja uniform. All adult ninjas in the branch house need to participate in the battle."
"But I'm no longer a ninja." After Yun became pregnant, she retired and worked as a full-time housewife at home. It wasn't that she was afraid of danger, but now she wanted to protect Neji and Kai and take refuge.
"Have you forgotten your ninja skills after you retired? Lord Third Hokage has ordered the Hyuga clansmen to be the main attacker of the second wave."
"If you as a branch family member don't participate, do you want us main family members to go fight?"
Yun still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by pain in the middle of the sentence: "You...ahhh!..."
The guy activated her Caged Bird curse seal.
"This is just a lesson, if you dare to contradict me again... you will die!"
Kai finally knew why Neji became an orphan. The reason is here, but now he is weak and can't do anything.
Yun's headache eased slightly, and she lowered her head to look at the ferocious-looking Kai.
" I'll leave Neji to you!"
Kai gritted his teeth, knowing that he was not Naoto Hyuga's opponent now.
"I will definitely bring Neji to a safe place."
In order to reassure his aunt, Kai took Neji and ran towards the shelter without looking back.
"Wind release: Gale wind..."
Kai used a wind ninjutsu to push himself forward.
"Hurry, faster!"
There were constant sounds of collapse from behind, Nine Tails continued to destroy, and many Jōnin and Chūnin tried their best to block its progress.
The surrounding Genin organized many civilians to take refuge.
"Quick, go this way." Kai saw a person waving to him. The person wearing a mask was the young Kakashi.
He walked over there without hesitation, and under the protection of Kakashi, the two of them successfully entered the shelter and took refuge.
Inside, Kai saw many acquaintances. As the new generation of Konoha, they also came to take refuge with many civilians.
Might Guy, Yūhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Mitarashi Anko, Kamizuki Izumo and so on.
Among them, Kai also saw the dutiful sons Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke.
Many of them were very excited and wanted to go out and fight Nine Tails to the death, but they were all stopped by an old Chūnin.
"What can you do if you go out now? You don't even have the ability to get close to Nine Tails."
"We can save some civilians if we go out, but we can't do anything if we stay here."
Seeing this scene, Kai also shook his head slightly. These guys are really young and energetic.
Going out at this time would not only cause some casualties, but maybe they would save some civilians, but it would not be cost-effective to exchange the life of a future outstanding ninja for a random civilian.
"Brother Kai...wuwuwu!" Neji was woken up and shouted Kai's name in panic.
"Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
The sound of fighting outside lasted for half the night, and Kai was worried about Yun's safety all the time. She was only a Chūnin and her ability to withstand disasters was too weak.
The disaster ended soon.The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato sealed Nine Tails at the cost of his life, and the new generation of Nine Tails Jinchūriki was the savior Uzumaki Naruto.
The moment it was announced that he could go out, Kai took Neji and rushed out to find Uncle Hizashi and Aunt Yun.
Returning to the Hyuga tribe again, it suffered a devastating blow because of its location close to the center.
Many people were searching the ruins, perhaps for their family members or their belongings.
Finding Hyuga Hizashi with a tired look on his face and seeing no cloud around him, Hyuga's heart skipped a beat.
"Hizashi-sama, where is my aunt?" In the family Kai cannot call him uncle at will.
After a long silence, Hyuga Hizashi choked out a sentence: "...She was sacrificed."
Kai was struck by lightning and stood stunned on the spot. He was comforting his aunt a few hours ago, but she died like this?
His aunt's words today seem to still be echoing in his ears.
"Do you feel better? Your father always liked to comfort me like this."
"It's up to you to take care of Neji!"
His body shook involuntarily, and Kai shook his head in disbelief. His heart was filled with regret. His aunt should not have died. It was all the fault of Naoto Hyuga. He was only a few steps away from changing history.
Thinking of this, Kai's eyes gradually became bloodshot.
Suddenly, with a "bang", he felt that the whole world instantly lost its color and became black and white.
His field of vision continued to lengthen, and he could actually penetrate the walls and see many things buried deep underground.
The meridians and chakras of the people around him were also clearly visible before his eyes.
Hizashi also saw this scene and reacted quickly, hugging Kai and burying his head in his arms so that others could not see Kai's eyes.
But in fact, everyone is immersed in grief, and no one will pay attention to the situation of these two people.
Hizashi patted Kai's back gently and said in a weak voice: "Relax, relax...relax the Chakra of the eyes."
Kai realized that if he wants to avenge his aunt, he must not let people find out that he has awakened his Byakugan, otherwise he will be engraved with a caged bird curse seal, and become a lamb to be slaughtered.
Following Hizashi's instructions, Kai retracted all the Chakra on his eyes, and his eyes successfully exited the white-eye state and turned black again.
