20 The meeting and the Byakugan.
Tsunade had just gotten to the rooftop when she saw the same boy who had eyed her before and looked at with hate. Holding another boy by the neck. When she looked down she saw blood seeping out from his legs to which she frowned.
But then the boy raised his hands ready to pierce the one he held in his grip who was screaming like a mad man as tears and snot fell. She had to stop this madness and so she did. Dashing towards them she got in the nick of time and stopped his hands from piercing the boy's heart.
"What do you think you're doing boy?" she questioned him almost in a threatening manner. To kill a fellow classmate would make him a murderer.
However, when the boy replied it his voice so Icy and emotionless it sent shivers down her spine "Tsunade" that was all he said.
Recollecting herself she exerted pressure on the boy's arm to pull his hand out but to her surprise, Drogo's hand didn't budge one bit. He didn't even look at her but stared straight into his victim's eyes.
More and more figures started to appear one by one Naruto, Sakura, Shino, Anko, Konohamaru who was on his way to the Hokage's office and finally Hanabi Hyuga who was going to visit her sister Hinata and to see her Nephew and Niece.
The atmosphere had turned tense and grim as all the adults eyed Drogo and the boy held in his hand.
"Drogo what do you think you are doing? It is a crime to attack classmates much less try to kill them. If you do this I will have no choice but to charge you as a murderer" Naruto took slow steps towards him as he slammed his own pressure on Drogo to make him stop or fall to his knees.
The boy, however, stood in his original position and the pressure if it did affect him he did not show any signs of it. Ice cold eyes stared at Magire without blinking. His grip on him getting stronger by the second and the pale boy started to choke for breath.
"Stop it, boy, you'll be charged with murder do you really want this? What will your parents think?" Tsunade tried again to stop him again as she had yet to know who the boy really was and his origins.
Hearing this Naruto and others went stiff. The boy had no parents and even if Tsunade had no interest in finding out about the kids in her daughter's class saying a statement like this would just piss the boy off more.
Tsunade looked up and around seeing most of their faces that wanted to say something even her husband opened his mouth and then closed it.
Finally, it was Drogo himself that voiced out "I have no parents. Father died and moms a whore who ran off" and now it was Tsunade's turn to freeze. She now understood why they all looked as if she had said something uncalled for.
Drogo however internally mocked, you are my mother. To think you can't recognise your own child. It really pisses me off. Sure I changed a lot but aren't mothers supposed to know exactly how their kids are. This further proves you didn't give a shit about me and my sister. You would never remember us. Fucking bitch, look how happy you seem now. Having a daughter who you named after my sister and a husband. Where were this love for me and my sister? I really hate to see you loving your daughter when you killed your own before. It makes me sick.
"It still doesn't give you the right to kill someone and the way you've done it is still brutal. You've left a trauma for him. Stop now!" she screamed at him seeing his hand squeezing the half-dead boys neck harder.
Konohamaru, Hanabi and others got ready to attack soon to put the boy down. This was really getting dangerous and needed to be stopped. Even Naruto went into his Tailed chakra mode ready to strike and Jiraya got ready to enter into sage mode.
At that moment a voice came from behind them that they had completely ignored "Please don't hurt Drogo. He only tried to protect me" Sumire voiced out meekly
All the adults finally looked back at the kids. Boruto, Sarada, Chocho, Shikadai, Mitsuki and Sumire who was being hugged by other two girls.
Their eyes went on Sumire and saw her torn up clothes and down at the ugly shrivelled thing on the floor. The dots finally connected and they understood the general idea of what happened.
Sakura quickly ran towards Sumire and started looking for any bruises as she covered her body with her cloak. All the women were disgusted by what had gone down. Even Tsunade who had an experience with this slowly eased her grip on the boy's arm before it got tighter again.
"Boy, I know that you are angry and this is worst. But she doesn't seem to get hurt and you've probably got here in time. Let the adults handle it" this time her voice was gentle
"Drogo you and I both know it's not his fault. It was the dark aura so please stop let them handle it" seeing the adults arrive Boruto tried his luck again with him.
Drogo didn't seem to flinch at this not one bit. Every single one of them tried to make him stop with reason but he had completely ignored them all. Staring deep into his eyes he finally spoke.
"Why?" bringing everyone's attention to him.
"Why does he get to live? You will take him to do some investigation and then throw him in jail or maybe set him free so why does he get to live?"
Stunned at his outburst they kept staring at him. "Because everyone deserves a second chance" Naruto spoke up.
He laughed they all saw the boy laugh his voice getting louder by the second "Second chance? Fuck your chances! Where was my second chance? Where was my sister's second chance? Because of rapists like him in heat people like me who are bastards have to suffer. We get persecuted we get stoned we get hated and for what? Because of disgusting things like him we have to suffer. Why? Why don't we get any chances and they do?"
He was moments away from snapping the person's neck. The others kept staring at him. The kids understood somewhat. They had heard Drogo mention the three absolute things he hated and this was one of them.
Perhaps the person who was most affected by this was Tsunade and Jiraya even if they didn't show it on their faces. To Tsunade, this all caused Flashbacks of when she killed her kids and how she hated them and to Jiraya it was the same as he was the reason for that night to happen. They were both guilty of their crimes and shouldered this Sin as there was no repentance for it.
Tsunade had completely left the grip on the boy's arm standing there lost in thoughts.
Naruto kept frowning his expression turned from soft to hard to anger to helplessness.
He always wanted to become the Hokage yet he never realised that kids like Drogo suffered outside like this even in times of peace. Kai Senju was already such a case and now Drogo appeared. If Drogo was like this with his sufferings then he had no idea how broken the boy who was sealed for many years would be.
They never made the connection between Drogo and Kai since they had all seen Kai's picture in the Bingo books and even if only the upper half of his face appeared he had completely different eyes and the sword he held was a massive one, not the one Drogo had.
"So no I don't believe in second chances. You only get one and so will he" Finally getting tired of dragging this more.
The hand that was still inside Magire's body twitched as he mumbled "Blood arts: leech" with that all of the blood inside the boy's remaining body got absorbed by Drogo and his face turned into a dry twig his eyes lifeless.
"No!!" the adults screamed making a run towards the boy but it was too late all the blood in that body had been gone. Not a single drop of blood remained.
"Throw me in prison or whatever you like. If I see any other rapists I'll kill them just like this" Drogo shoved his hands in his pockets standing above the dead body.
"You shouldn't have done this. He was a boy after all. Don't you have any pity?" Hanabi asked seeing the boy looking over.
"No pity for a beast in heat. Killing him was justice and I saved those who would be raped by him in future." each word hit them like a stone.
"They boy had parents, have you ever thought about what they would feel like?" Sakura questioned.
"Tell them I helped in getting rid of their scum of a son who would ruin lives in the future" he spat on the body.
They couldn't fathom how he had so much anger in him maybe it was because of things happened in the past yet there were times when they thought he was hiding a large part of his story. They couldn't relate with him but they could help him if he told them the truth.
*Boom* a punch landed straight into his abdomen causing Drogo to fall down coughing as blood spewed out.
Tsunade had punched him hard and stared down at him "You scared the rest of the kids. Don't you have any shame in what you have done? You could've handed him down to us to take care. Be glad my daughter isn't here to see or I would surely break your bones if she saw this gory scene"
Tch! So now you care about kids? Now you care about your so-called "Daughter". I will kill her exactly like this as well in front of you. I'll see what you can do to me them. Where was all this caring for my sister? Fucking bitch still punches like a boulder! Wiping the blood away from his lips he stood up.
"Do what you want but I know the laws about people like him. I will not be charged with anything serious and at most confined for a day or two. Get it over with" Naruto sighed and beckoned Konohamaru and Hanabi to take him away.
"Lock him in the cells for two days" the boy was right the ninja rules had clearly been changed by him and stated that in case of attempted **** if the person is killed in retaliation he would most likely be confined in jail for a day or two.
However, he never expected a child would attempt murder and another child would kill him. This law was made for adults yet to think children would be a target of this.
Drogo didn't make a fuss as he obeyed the two Shinobi's and left with them. The hokage finally turned towards the kids while Mia and Denki finally approached the roof and seeing so many adults, the kids and a dead body were shocked before running to their classmates.
Sarada filled Mia on what she missed and she was extremely pissed at Sumire had to go through but then she heard how Drogo killed the person causing her shiver at the details and how easily he killed him.
She had seen the boy fight but this was the first time she had heard him kill while the others had seen it personally.
"Dad, is he going to be alright? Drogo isn't bad he saved Sumire so surely you won't hurt him?" Boruto voiced out while others eyed him as well.
"We don't know yet. He should be out in 2 days and we'll have to see what has to be done then. His state of mind is not right so he may drop out of academy if need be" He seemed very serious and stressed at the last point.
"No!" Sumire screamed which was unlike her "I mean you can't do this to him. He saved me and if not for him my whole life would be ruined so please don't make him drop the Academy. He was only protecting me so don't make him do something that would hate everyone" for the first time in her life Sumire begged for someone else.
The others didn't speak but they shared the same sentiment. Sure their classmate was weird and all dark but he was nice. He didn't hurt them and even helped them out. Twice to be exact. Saving Mitsuki, Shikadai and Boruto that day and today Sumire.
"Naruto maybe you should give him another chance. He's just a kid after all" it was Jiraya who spoke in his favour. Deep inside he agreed with the kid's ideas. He had seen how much Tsunade suffered from **** and how it turned out in the end. He didn't want them for anyone else. Even if he didn't openly agree with the kid he didn't really deny his actions.
The next person to speak was Sakura "Naruto the kid's not bad. He's helped this kids before and throwing him out of the Academy would just turn his life back into a shinobi on the run. That is something he wants to avoid that is why he came to the village"
"Lord seventh what they said is right. I know what it feels to be abandoned. When Orochimaru left me I was filled with anger" Anko too spoke up in a serious tone.
The only person who seemed unlikely to let the boy continue was Tsunade herself. She was scared of this boy being around his daughter a child she had conceived through many efforts. She was her world and thus she hesitated.
She too however caved into the puppy eyes her daughter had started to make towards her. Naruto was never really thinking about throwing the boy off the Academy but seeing so many people in favour of him he smiled.
He couldn't relate to most of the things Drogo went through but being a jinchuriki he knew about persecution and hate. This was something he could really relate to. He was given a second chance by Iruka and he turned out to be amazing.
"Alright maybe I was too hasty on that decision but the fact remains there will be some sort of punishment after he comes out. This sort of behaviour isn't for kids" everyone smiled at that as worry washed away.
Sumire looked at the direction that Drogo went off too. You actually killed him and I know half of it was for my reason but the other half truly stemmed from your hate. Thank you Drogo without you I would have lost something important to me. Wiping her tears off she smiled as the class was given rest of the day off to relax.
Drogo was walking towards the jail and behind him were two high-level jonin. Activating his Byakugan he looked at their charka levels which were impressive, to say the least.
"So you're the grandson of the Third Hokage?" since he had nothing better to do he started a conversation. It was better to know them anyway.
Konohamaru was silent for a few seconds before replying with a simple "Yes" to which Drogo Whistled
"My my what an honour it is to be escorted by the grandson of the Third and the heiress of the Hyuga clan"
Hanabi looked over to him "You know about me?"
"I've done my study, after all, fighting a person who is said to have the purest and strongest Byakugan should be interesting. Fighting you both should be interesting and I would like to experience it.." Drogo replied back.
Konohamaru frowned "Why would you want to fight me?" keeping up with the boy's pace.
"Nothing really complicated. You I want to fight since you'll probably be the strongest in your generation. You've learnt from Naruto and your Grandfather." he pointed at Konohamaru
This seemed fair but well he wasn't interested in indulging this boy in a fight much less now that he just killed another boy.
Hanabi then pointed at herself "Why me then?"
Without looking back "Because I wanna see who has the strongest Byakugan" causing both of them to be surprised.
"You have a Byakugan? How come I didn't know about it? And your eyes are different.." the women said
Drogo shrugged "Don't know I already told the hokage and well as for my eyes I'm a mutated bastard. I got sharingan and Byakugan and probably some other shit. I don't know myself but yeah I do have a Byakugan"
"A boy with a Sharingan and Byakugan. I've heard of such cases but this is my first time seeing one in front of me" Konohamaru eyed him
"Mine as well and if you really have a Byakugan then how far can you see? I'm able to see 25 miles. I'm coming close to my sister" she smirked gloating on her self praise.
Konohamaru was surprised since the last time Hanabi told him she could see 22 miles and that was a year ago. In only a year she could increase her radius to 3 more miles.
Drogo rolled his eyes "I can see 8 miles" his eyes increased further after his hollow completion.
"What!?" Hanabi screamed "How can you see so far at such a young age. I could barely see 2 miles and my sister could only see 50 meters. You must be lying" that was the only conclusion.
The boy shook his head "Nah I ain't lying. You can ask Hinata-san."
"My sister knows about you?" Hanabi questioned.
"Yea she does since I went there a few days ago. I was gonna go there today to play with Hime but well that's down the drain now haha" he chuckled.
Konohamaru and Hanabi were a bit stunned at this. Not many kids had been to the hokage house and Himawari even if she was friendly would rarely like someone that much to ask them to play with her much less let someone call her Hime apart from her family. She must really like this boy that was what both of them thought.
"She must really like you to let you call her Hime," Hanabi said in a disgruntled tone.
Is she jealous? Both the jonin and Drogo thought.
"I'm just good with little kids. Had a sister like her once. A few years ago so I know how to make them happy" he whispered.
"Where is your sister?" the jonin man asked immediately regretting such a rhetorical question.
"Dead, killed by the person my mother ran off with." That was all he said before silence followed and Hanabi glared at Konohamaru for ruining the atmosphere. Without talking they finally reached the jail where he was thrown inside while both joins bid their farewell.
"You said you wanted to fight so in two days when you get out to come to the Hyuga estate I might help you with your Bakugan since I know you have no fighting style suited for it" Hanabi smiled. This boy didn't seem as bad as she thought.
"If you want a sparring session come find me. I'll take you on anytime kid" Konohamaru said the same as they both left.
As night approached far far away in a distant place that existed far from any shinobies. A figure stood by looking up in the sky full of stars.
"The comet has entered the constellation. The destiny of the stars, the time for harvest is near." the figure had a logo of a crescent moon and a sun on his back. "And just as I thought the key to it all.....are them"
Looking down again at a distant planet "Two people the light and dark. Two sides of the same coin. One would bring death while the other life. The world will change the future cannot be known."
The next day the students were enjoying the weekend they had. Boruto and the guys went to watch a movie about a superhero and then ate at their usual burger joint.
"The guy seemed good at acting but it was a little too convenient. The villain appearing itself and then the hero beating him." Boruto told his friends.
Shikadai sipped on his drink "You didn't seem to take your eyes off him though"
Iwabe pointed at him and said "No, I agree a Ninja life isn't that easy...For example, Lord Hokage-"
"You only know Dad's good side. He isn't like that at home" Boruto interrupted him
Denki who was curious asked "What is Hokage like?" to which Boruto relaxed back
"He is sloppy and always late for work. He wears shoes wrong and is always tired at work" Causing their image of an awesome hokage to crumble.
"Fine but there is still Drogo. A kid like him who has struggled so hard to get so strong as he is. Surely you'll give me that" Iwabe shot back
"Tch! Fine, I'll give you that Drogo does seem like a scary dude who's suffered a lot. Especially with what he did yesterday. At least now we know what three things he hates." Boruto said
There was a short silence before Shikadai spoke up "Hey, who do you think he hates the most? He said he hated three things and this said person was at the number one spot. Surely we've seen what he does with the third most hated thing the number one will have it the worst."
None of them really had a clue who that person was but nevertheless, Boruto gave his thoughts "Maybe it's the person that killed his sister. He never talks about it but he did tell me the only person he loved was his sister so I'm guessing it should be that person"
Shikadai gave it a thought before nodding "Seems to be the most logical reason. Oh man, I would hate to be that person. Drogo really would kill him in the most brutal way he could" they all laughed nervously. The idea of killing someone was still new to them. They knew there would be killed if they became a ninja but they weren't even Genin yet.
Later as the sun was setting down. Boruto and Shikadai were seen sitting on top of a train contemplating about the dark shadow.
"If it's really much then you should just ask help from Lord Hokage," Shikadai told him
Boruto looked up at the carved stone face of his father "I can't, ya know. My dad and others can't help with this"
"Then who would you ask for help I mean I would help you but we do need leads."
"Drogo we can ask Drogo to help when he comes out. He can see them as well and unlike my eye which awakens when I see the dark shadow, Drogo has both his eyes always activated or maybe that's his natural state. As far as I know, we both have the same ability so he would be able to help"
Shikadai got up "Sure then we'll ask him when he gets out." Jumping up to grab a pole he bid Boruto farewell.
At night Boruto contemplated the incident making shadow clones of himself but couldn't reach a solid conclusion so he decided to jump out of the window of his room and go to the convenience store to get food.
Approaching the store he saw Shikadai sitting down and both seemed surprised to see each other.
"So why don't you ask your mother then? She is the princess if the Hyuga clan isn't she?" Boruto nodded at this holding his burger.
"You mean the Byakugan..." he muttered.
"The byakugan, one of the three great Dojutsu. Passed down only through the Hyuga clan, known as the Strongest among the hidden leaf..." Boruto and Shikadai almost jumped from the sudden appearance of Mitsuki
"When did you come here?" the blonde boy questioned.
Mitsuki smiled "I've been here for some time"
They both sighed at his antics, Shikadai turned around again "Why don't you ask about the Byakugan then?"
Boruto looked down at his burger squeezing it gently as he was hit with a flashback of him entering the Hyuga household and meeting his grandfather who looked really scary with his serious face on.
"You don't want to?" the ponytailed kid asked
With Boruto shaking his head "Kinda..."
Mitsuki looked over crouching "But you don't know where to start then? You should ask Drogo since he can see them as well."
"I would ask him if not for him pulling that stunt which sent him to jail. No one is allowed to meet him until he comes out and I really can't wait till then"
"Then the best answer is to ask about byakugan then you have to start somewhere and this might be the right place" the pale boy replied back
Letting their words sink in Boruto went home and back to bed. Closing his eyes and sighing deeply.
Similarly, in the cell that Drogo was in, he decided to get some sleep and closed his eyes.
Suddenly a ring of chime woke him up from his sleep and similarly in the Uzumaki household Boruto woke up from it as well.
Opening his eyes Drogo saw himself in a broken building with larger pillars erected and the light shining from the small broken pieces of the ceiling. Casting faint beams of light. His eyes looked around "What the? Is this a dream? But it looks so real." he muttered
The same thoughts were on Boruto's mind as well. He seemed to be in a similar place. "Where am I?"
A dark figure appeared behind him "I'm talking to you through your dream" looking back he saw no one as the voice sounded again in front of him.
The same situation was happening with Drogo as well yet it seemed that Boruto and he were seeing the same person but in their own dreams.
"A dream? Who are you?" Boruto asked surprised
The person in question was visible now and wore white, high-collared kimono with a black obi, over which he wore a pale green sash tied at the right shoulder. Down below he wore black fingerless gloves, long black pants, and black shinobi sandals. He was pale skinned and had shaggy white hair. He also had some kind of tattoo on his collarbone.
Pointing towards Boruto "Boruto Uzumaki, your eye is the star of hope....against the destruction that will come to pass."
"Huh" Boruto still confused at this while the man continued "The power of Hope slumbers in you. With that eye, you will shoulder the fate of this world." as Boruto touched his eye and saw a certain creature with a similar dark aura surrounding it.
"Your eyes will probably guide you to the light which will dispel the darkness." the voice started to fade so did the surroundings.
Before it completely vanished the man uttered his last words "You are light while he is darkness. Two sides of the same coin. Will darkness take over light or will your light shine his darkness. You might possess this eye but he possesses everything. You, however, possess something more important the will to fight the will to struggle and the bonds. He might become your greatest enemy or he might become your greatest ally towards the true threat of this world" before Boruto could ask who he was talking about everything went dark.
Over towards Drogo's side, the pale-skinned man had just appeared in front him and kept staring at Drogo "You truly have his features. You've only inherited the hair and the physical strength of your mother"
His eyes went wide what was this place and who was this person to know about his deepest secret moreover he mentioned him having someone else features.
"Who are you and how do you know who I am?" Drogo's voice became Icy trying to reach back for his sword only to find nothing when he decided to use Genjetsu on the person yet nothing happened.
"Don't worry this is your dream. You cant use anything to hurt me nor can I to you. I mean you no harm only to warn you of the path you have decided to walk." he spoke softly this time.
"You haven't answered my question yet who are you and how do you know my name?" he questioned again putting his guard on.
The man looked into his eyes "Kai Senju do not be a fool. The path of revenge is steep and full of nails. You are the child chosen by darkness itself yet darkness isn't evil. It is we who chose to classify it as evil. The same is with you, the path of revenge is a dangerous one and will swallow you. Those eyes are the most powerful things to have ever existed. Your whole body is something that never should've existed."
Bombarded with so many words and most which didn't make sense "Darkness" and being chosen. He didn't know what it meant but revenge was something he was familiar with and what he was striving for. Everything he had done so far was for revenge.
"I don't care who you are and what you mean by being chosen by darkness but if you know about my revenge then you would know that I will never abandon it. This world is filthy. The ninjas are filthy. There is no order there is no law. All these big villages safeguard is people inside. What about that outside? Those like me that suffer from the brutal onslaught of these savage missing nins and bandits?" Drogo yelled back
However, there was no change in the man's expression he shook his head as the world started to fade "It seems the time is already up. Know this Kai Senju you are not alone should you chose to be. You have people that care for you but your revenge blinds you. You are our side branches main hope. The blood of the side branch and main branch runs through you. The MARK on your left hand is proof of it. The future battle will be hard if you follow this path. Those eyes as much as strong they are they will one day plunge this whole world in chaos and destruction. Is this what your Sister Mia Senju would've wanted?"
Drogo was pushed back and felt like he was falling down soon everything turned dark and he woke up sweating heavily. Bringing his left hand up to see the Dimond shaped black mark on the middle of his palm which he had ignored all his life since he never got to know what it was.
He clenched his fists tight reminiscing the last words that person said "What my sister would want? No one knows what she would've wanted since she was killed by her. Her voice is not there anymore yet the women who took it all continue to live a happy life. So no I don't care about what path I have chosen. I don't care if the world plunges to chaos as long as she dies horribly with the rest of these ninja villages" breathing out he emptied his head.
There was a lot to learn from the unknown man. He was certain he knew who Drogo was and who his father was perhaps. He mentioned clan but never told him which clan. So many questions with little to no answers.
The sun shined and a new day began while Drogo was figuring out his thoughts the Uzumaki household was facing its own problems.
Boruto woke up the next day and rubbed his right eye while blinking he was taken aback when he saw his vision was different from normal times. Right now it looked like the time when he activated his eyes so he quickly got up looked himself in the mirror.
"It's real my eye really is real and I'll save the world, Yahoo!" he shouted loudly bringing Himawari to his room as she rubbed her eyes seeing as she just woke up due to his shout.
"Big brother..." she muttered and looked up to see Boruto wearing some weird glasses while acting in a similar weird fashion.
"Oh it's you Himawari, a pearl coloured nightmare foretold my destiny." she, however, had a dumbfounded expression on her face as she tilted her head "Huh? Pearl?" her brother sure was acting weird today.
Boruto then went on to say some more cliche lines to her about being the chosen one and saving the world and whatnot.
A few minutes later Naruto entered his house with Shikamaru who were greeted by Hinata. "Thanks for always taking care of him Shikamaru" who was about to bid farewell when they heard a loud shout from upstairs.
Puzzled Naruto looked up towards his wife who was uneasy herself "Its Boruto and he's acting kind of weird" this got his attention as well their son was a troublemaker sure but he wasn't the type to act weird.
Running upstairs with Hinata and Shikamaru behind he opened the door to Boruto's room and saw him in his cliche mode talking about saving the world and goddess of destiny.
Himawari who approached her father tugged on his shirt "Papa, Big brother has been acting weird" her pure eyes stared at her father.
The three adults sweat dropped seeing the scene. Finally, Boruto turned around seeing his father. "Dad I've awakened an awesome power" he raised his hands showing a victory sign.
"Awesome power?" hokage was confused for a moment before he shivered badly and got on his knees putting both his hands on his son's shoulders "Wait a minute, Boruto! You didn't steal the scroll of sealing or something like that, did you?" he became serious.
Taking off his weird glasses he looked back "What is a scroll of sealing?"
"A scroll that contains forbidden ninjutsu. Naturally, since they are forbidden m, they are very dangerous ninjutsu" Shikamaru was the one to answer his question.
The boy still had the same perplexed look "Its the first time I've heard of it. And besides what's it got to do with me?"
Shikamaru looked nervous "Well there was one guy in the past who stole it so that he could become stronger quickly"
"That's horrible! Don't lump me with that guy!" the kid frowned causing Naruto to sweat badly.
"Yea that's right, that guys totally inexcusable" he laughed nervously
While both Shikamaru and Hinata tried to stop themselves from laughing. The person they were talking about was Naruto himself who did such a thing when he was young. It sure brought back memories for them.
"So what is this 'Awesome power' you were talking about?" Naruto asked again.
Boruto pointed at his right eye "The Byakugan" and smiled
Stunned by this all three adults were taken back. Shikamaru was the first to speak "The byakugan requires intense training before one can manifest it"
"Oh really, then I must be a genius" he gloated
His mother however covered her mouth "Impossible!" she knew best how a byakugan could awaken and her son clearly had not.
Naruto's facial expression didn't change as he remained very serious which Boruto noticed "What's wrong dad?"
"like what Shikamaru just said, the Byakugan requires considerable training before you can use it. And I know better than anyone, that you haven't gone through that kind of training" Naruto carefully picked his words so as not to dishearten his son however the damage was still done. Boruto looked mortified and angered.
"What, Are you trying to say I'm lying?" he looked down
His father got up "No, there are cases like Himawari who've awakened it out if the blue so we can't write it off just yet, but...." he looked back at his son
Boruto kept staring at the ground anger bubbling inside him "In other words, you don't trust me!"
"There has to be at least some basis for it, at least," his father said
"I can see it!" the boy shouted only for his mother to stop him "Boruto, there is no point in arguing here. You must talk to your grandfather about this. I will contact him and he will know if you have awakened Byakugan or not" she patted his shoulder trying to console him.
"I'll go see grandfather or whoever you want. I'll prove it that I'm not lying" he shouted at his father. And so they went off to see their grandfather. Him, Naruto and Himawari while Hinata stayed behind.
On the north side of the village in a cell, Drogo was stretching and doing some pushups when the guard opened his door "Your time is up boy"
"About time it's up. I was starting to feel bored. What should I do now?" he questioned as he got out
"Oh, yea didn't Hanabi say I can fight her when I get out. Should probably pay a visit. In itching for a good fight. Didn't have one ever since Mitsuki" Crackling his knuckles he put his hands in his pockets and strolled off towards the Hyuga compound.
The Uzumaki family finally reached the Hyuga compound as Boruto stopped to look At the big sign which said "Hyuga"
"I can't deal with this" he muttered
"What can't you deal with?" A thick elderly voice spoke from behind him. Turning around he saw an elderly man with a lot of grey hairs.
A featureless white eye and he wore traditional, loose-fitting robes with a long-sleeved, brown haori.
His facial expression was very scary and was looking down at Boruto causing him to be intimidated by him. However, the old man grabbed Boruto in a hug and suddenly he went from an old scary person to a loving adult "Oh I'm so glad you're here, Boruto!" he smiled rubbing his grandson's hair.
Himawari saw that it was her grandfather and she strolled towards him shouting "Grandpa!" getting embraced by the elderly man as he hugged and rubbed their heads.
The door to the compound opened and Hanabi stepped out looking at her father "Father..." she said as if tired by his antics.
Naruto looked at them both and greeted them to which Hanabi said not to stand on ceremony. Just like her father she went straight to the kids and embraced them in a hug "Hi, it's me your Auntie" she went on to rub her cheeks on theirs and simply showered them with love. Naruto just stood their sweatdropping.
Going inside Boruto, Naruto and Hisashi went in a room while Hanabi went outside to play with Himawari.
Inside Boruto explained to his grandpa that he might have awakened Byakugan but similar to Naruto who had a serious face he too went on to explain about Byakugan.
"The Byakugan is a kekkai Genkai and is passed down through the Hyuga clan and not everyone can awaken it. It requires rigorous and intense training" these words crumbled Boruto's confidence ad his father has said the same. He clenched his hands
"You said only Hyuga clan has it but why does Drogo have a Byakugan? And where he's from there is no one to teach him about byakugan." Boruto replied.
Hisashi was confused and shocked at this. He had never heard of an individual with the name of Drogo in his clan to anywhere. If there was such a person in his clan he would surely remember since the name Drogo was a unique one. "Who is Drogo?"
It was Naruto's turn to speak "Oh father I've been busy so I couldn't tell. A few days ago an orphan showed from outside the village. The boy's name was Drogo and when we met he explained he had Sharingan which we tested and proved to be true. Later Sakura ran some more test on his blood and found Hyuga bloodline in him. The boy has a byakugan as well as a sharingan as I and Hinata have confirmed it"
"A boy with a Sharingan and Byakugan more so with both eyes having sharingan and byakugan. This is unheard of and you should've told me about this Naruto. If he has a byakugan then he possesses our bloodline that means he belongs to this family as well" Hisashi frowned at Naruto for not telling him something this important.
"Forgive me father but I was very busy with work and the boy lives with Sakura in the Uchiha household. When we found out about his Byakugan Hinata and I did plan on bringing him here for you to check it out however there was a certain incident involving him and well he is occupied now" Naruto rubbed the back of his head
Then he looked at Boruto "Drogo had his own situation for him to awaken byakugan. Like I said with Himawari there are certain rare cases but since Drogo has been surviving outside the deep trauma might be one reason for him to awaken his Byakugan and Sharingan together or it might be tough situations that caused him to unintentionally awaken it."
Hisashi finally got up and went outside as he wore shoes "I am still not certain if you truly have awakened your Byakugan so let's test it"
Awakening his own Byakugan as veins popped out from next to his eyes he looked back at Boruto "I'll be your opponent. Now come!"
Boruto was taken back by this while Naruto looked very serious at his father-in-law.
Outside the residence, a figure with a jawbone mask was approaching the household.
But then the boy raised his hands ready to pierce the one he held in his grip who was screaming like a mad man as tears and snot fell. She had to stop this madness and so she did. Dashing towards them she got in the nick of time and stopped his hands from piercing the boy's heart.
"What do you think you're doing boy?" she questioned him almost in a threatening manner. To kill a fellow classmate would make him a murderer.
However, when the boy replied it his voice so Icy and emotionless it sent shivers down her spine "Tsunade" that was all he said.
Recollecting herself she exerted pressure on the boy's arm to pull his hand out but to her surprise, Drogo's hand didn't budge one bit. He didn't even look at her but stared straight into his victim's eyes.
More and more figures started to appear one by one Naruto, Sakura, Shino, Anko, Konohamaru who was on his way to the Hokage's office and finally Hanabi Hyuga who was going to visit her sister Hinata and to see her Nephew and Niece.
The atmosphere had turned tense and grim as all the adults eyed Drogo and the boy held in his hand.
"Drogo what do you think you are doing? It is a crime to attack classmates much less try to kill them. If you do this I will have no choice but to charge you as a murderer" Naruto took slow steps towards him as he slammed his own pressure on Drogo to make him stop or fall to his knees.
The boy, however, stood in his original position and the pressure if it did affect him he did not show any signs of it. Ice cold eyes stared at Magire without blinking. His grip on him getting stronger by the second and the pale boy started to choke for breath.
"Stop it, boy, you'll be charged with murder do you really want this? What will your parents think?" Tsunade tried again to stop him again as she had yet to know who the boy really was and his origins.
Hearing this Naruto and others went stiff. The boy had no parents and even if Tsunade had no interest in finding out about the kids in her daughter's class saying a statement like this would just piss the boy off more.
Tsunade looked up and around seeing most of their faces that wanted to say something even her husband opened his mouth and then closed it.
Finally, it was Drogo himself that voiced out "I have no parents. Father died and moms a whore who ran off" and now it was Tsunade's turn to freeze. She now understood why they all looked as if she had said something uncalled for.
Drogo however internally mocked, you are my mother. To think you can't recognise your own child. It really pisses me off. Sure I changed a lot but aren't mothers supposed to know exactly how their kids are. This further proves you didn't give a shit about me and my sister. You would never remember us. Fucking bitch, look how happy you seem now. Having a daughter who you named after my sister and a husband. Where were this love for me and my sister? I really hate to see you loving your daughter when you killed your own before. It makes me sick.
"It still doesn't give you the right to kill someone and the way you've done it is still brutal. You've left a trauma for him. Stop now!" she screamed at him seeing his hand squeezing the half-dead boys neck harder.
Konohamaru, Hanabi and others got ready to attack soon to put the boy down. This was really getting dangerous and needed to be stopped. Even Naruto went into his Tailed chakra mode ready to strike and Jiraya got ready to enter into sage mode.
At that moment a voice came from behind them that they had completely ignored "Please don't hurt Drogo. He only tried to protect me" Sumire voiced out meekly
All the adults finally looked back at the kids. Boruto, Sarada, Chocho, Shikadai, Mitsuki and Sumire who was being hugged by other two girls.
Their eyes went on Sumire and saw her torn up clothes and down at the ugly shrivelled thing on the floor. The dots finally connected and they understood the general idea of what happened.
Sakura quickly ran towards Sumire and started looking for any bruises as she covered her body with her cloak. All the women were disgusted by what had gone down. Even Tsunade who had an experience with this slowly eased her grip on the boy's arm before it got tighter again.
"Boy, I know that you are angry and this is worst. But she doesn't seem to get hurt and you've probably got here in time. Let the adults handle it" this time her voice was gentle
"Drogo you and I both know it's not his fault. It was the dark aura so please stop let them handle it" seeing the adults arrive Boruto tried his luck again with him.
Drogo didn't seem to flinch at this not one bit. Every single one of them tried to make him stop with reason but he had completely ignored them all. Staring deep into his eyes he finally spoke.
"Why?" bringing everyone's attention to him.
"Why does he get to live? You will take him to do some investigation and then throw him in jail or maybe set him free so why does he get to live?"
Stunned at his outburst they kept staring at him. "Because everyone deserves a second chance" Naruto spoke up.
He laughed they all saw the boy laugh his voice getting louder by the second "Second chance? Fuck your chances! Where was my second chance? Where was my sister's second chance? Because of rapists like him in heat people like me who are bastards have to suffer. We get persecuted we get stoned we get hated and for what? Because of disgusting things like him we have to suffer. Why? Why don't we get any chances and they do?"
He was moments away from snapping the person's neck. The others kept staring at him. The kids understood somewhat. They had heard Drogo mention the three absolute things he hated and this was one of them.
Perhaps the person who was most affected by this was Tsunade and Jiraya even if they didn't show it on their faces. To Tsunade, this all caused Flashbacks of when she killed her kids and how she hated them and to Jiraya it was the same as he was the reason for that night to happen. They were both guilty of their crimes and shouldered this Sin as there was no repentance for it.
Tsunade had completely left the grip on the boy's arm standing there lost in thoughts.
Naruto kept frowning his expression turned from soft to hard to anger to helplessness.
He always wanted to become the Hokage yet he never realised that kids like Drogo suffered outside like this even in times of peace. Kai Senju was already such a case and now Drogo appeared. If Drogo was like this with his sufferings then he had no idea how broken the boy who was sealed for many years would be.
They never made the connection between Drogo and Kai since they had all seen Kai's picture in the Bingo books and even if only the upper half of his face appeared he had completely different eyes and the sword he held was a massive one, not the one Drogo had.
"So no I don't believe in second chances. You only get one and so will he" Finally getting tired of dragging this more.
The hand that was still inside Magire's body twitched as he mumbled "Blood arts: leech" with that all of the blood inside the boy's remaining body got absorbed by Drogo and his face turned into a dry twig his eyes lifeless.
"No!!" the adults screamed making a run towards the boy but it was too late all the blood in that body had been gone. Not a single drop of blood remained.
"Throw me in prison or whatever you like. If I see any other rapists I'll kill them just like this" Drogo shoved his hands in his pockets standing above the dead body.
"You shouldn't have done this. He was a boy after all. Don't you have any pity?" Hanabi asked seeing the boy looking over.
"No pity for a beast in heat. Killing him was justice and I saved those who would be raped by him in future." each word hit them like a stone.
"They boy had parents, have you ever thought about what they would feel like?" Sakura questioned.
"Tell them I helped in getting rid of their scum of a son who would ruin lives in the future" he spat on the body.
They couldn't fathom how he had so much anger in him maybe it was because of things happened in the past yet there were times when they thought he was hiding a large part of his story. They couldn't relate with him but they could help him if he told them the truth.
*Boom* a punch landed straight into his abdomen causing Drogo to fall down coughing as blood spewed out.
Tsunade had punched him hard and stared down at him "You scared the rest of the kids. Don't you have any shame in what you have done? You could've handed him down to us to take care. Be glad my daughter isn't here to see or I would surely break your bones if she saw this gory scene"
Tch! So now you care about kids? Now you care about your so-called "Daughter". I will kill her exactly like this as well in front of you. I'll see what you can do to me them. Where was all this caring for my sister? Fucking bitch still punches like a boulder! Wiping the blood away from his lips he stood up.
"Do what you want but I know the laws about people like him. I will not be charged with anything serious and at most confined for a day or two. Get it over with" Naruto sighed and beckoned Konohamaru and Hanabi to take him away.
"Lock him in the cells for two days" the boy was right the ninja rules had clearly been changed by him and stated that in case of attempted **** if the person is killed in retaliation he would most likely be confined in jail for a day or two.
However, he never expected a child would attempt murder and another child would kill him. This law was made for adults yet to think children would be a target of this.
Drogo didn't make a fuss as he obeyed the two Shinobi's and left with them. The hokage finally turned towards the kids while Mia and Denki finally approached the roof and seeing so many adults, the kids and a dead body were shocked before running to their classmates.
Sarada filled Mia on what she missed and she was extremely pissed at Sumire had to go through but then she heard how Drogo killed the person causing her shiver at the details and how easily he killed him.
She had seen the boy fight but this was the first time she had heard him kill while the others had seen it personally.
"Dad, is he going to be alright? Drogo isn't bad he saved Sumire so surely you won't hurt him?" Boruto voiced out while others eyed him as well.
"We don't know yet. He should be out in 2 days and we'll have to see what has to be done then. His state of mind is not right so he may drop out of academy if need be" He seemed very serious and stressed at the last point.
"No!" Sumire screamed which was unlike her "I mean you can't do this to him. He saved me and if not for him my whole life would be ruined so please don't make him drop the Academy. He was only protecting me so don't make him do something that would hate everyone" for the first time in her life Sumire begged for someone else.
The others didn't speak but they shared the same sentiment. Sure their classmate was weird and all dark but he was nice. He didn't hurt them and even helped them out. Twice to be exact. Saving Mitsuki, Shikadai and Boruto that day and today Sumire.
"Naruto maybe you should give him another chance. He's just a kid after all" it was Jiraya who spoke in his favour. Deep inside he agreed with the kid's ideas. He had seen how much Tsunade suffered from **** and how it turned out in the end. He didn't want them for anyone else. Even if he didn't openly agree with the kid he didn't really deny his actions.
The next person to speak was Sakura "Naruto the kid's not bad. He's helped this kids before and throwing him out of the Academy would just turn his life back into a shinobi on the run. That is something he wants to avoid that is why he came to the village"
"Lord seventh what they said is right. I know what it feels to be abandoned. When Orochimaru left me I was filled with anger" Anko too spoke up in a serious tone.
The only person who seemed unlikely to let the boy continue was Tsunade herself. She was scared of this boy being around his daughter a child she had conceived through many efforts. She was her world and thus she hesitated.
She too however caved into the puppy eyes her daughter had started to make towards her. Naruto was never really thinking about throwing the boy off the Academy but seeing so many people in favour of him he smiled.
He couldn't relate to most of the things Drogo went through but being a jinchuriki he knew about persecution and hate. This was something he could really relate to. He was given a second chance by Iruka and he turned out to be amazing.
"Alright maybe I was too hasty on that decision but the fact remains there will be some sort of punishment after he comes out. This sort of behaviour isn't for kids" everyone smiled at that as worry washed away.
Sumire looked at the direction that Drogo went off too. You actually killed him and I know half of it was for my reason but the other half truly stemmed from your hate. Thank you Drogo without you I would have lost something important to me. Wiping her tears off she smiled as the class was given rest of the day off to relax.
Drogo was walking towards the jail and behind him were two high-level jonin. Activating his Byakugan he looked at their charka levels which were impressive, to say the least.
"So you're the grandson of the Third Hokage?" since he had nothing better to do he started a conversation. It was better to know them anyway.
Konohamaru was silent for a few seconds before replying with a simple "Yes" to which Drogo Whistled
"My my what an honour it is to be escorted by the grandson of the Third and the heiress of the Hyuga clan"
Hanabi looked over to him "You know about me?"
"I've done my study, after all, fighting a person who is said to have the purest and strongest Byakugan should be interesting. Fighting you both should be interesting and I would like to experience it.." Drogo replied back.
Konohamaru frowned "Why would you want to fight me?" keeping up with the boy's pace.
"Nothing really complicated. You I want to fight since you'll probably be the strongest in your generation. You've learnt from Naruto and your Grandfather." he pointed at Konohamaru
This seemed fair but well he wasn't interested in indulging this boy in a fight much less now that he just killed another boy.
Hanabi then pointed at herself "Why me then?"
Without looking back "Because I wanna see who has the strongest Byakugan" causing both of them to be surprised.
"You have a Byakugan? How come I didn't know about it? And your eyes are different.." the women said
Drogo shrugged "Don't know I already told the hokage and well as for my eyes I'm a mutated bastard. I got sharingan and Byakugan and probably some other shit. I don't know myself but yeah I do have a Byakugan"
"A boy with a Sharingan and Byakugan. I've heard of such cases but this is my first time seeing one in front of me" Konohamaru eyed him
"Mine as well and if you really have a Byakugan then how far can you see? I'm able to see 25 miles. I'm coming close to my sister" she smirked gloating on her self praise.
Konohamaru was surprised since the last time Hanabi told him she could see 22 miles and that was a year ago. In only a year she could increase her radius to 3 more miles.
Drogo rolled his eyes "I can see 8 miles" his eyes increased further after his hollow completion.
"What!?" Hanabi screamed "How can you see so far at such a young age. I could barely see 2 miles and my sister could only see 50 meters. You must be lying" that was the only conclusion.
The boy shook his head "Nah I ain't lying. You can ask Hinata-san."
"My sister knows about you?" Hanabi questioned.
"Yea she does since I went there a few days ago. I was gonna go there today to play with Hime but well that's down the drain now haha" he chuckled.
Konohamaru and Hanabi were a bit stunned at this. Not many kids had been to the hokage house and Himawari even if she was friendly would rarely like someone that much to ask them to play with her much less let someone call her Hime apart from her family. She must really like this boy that was what both of them thought.
"She must really like you to let you call her Hime," Hanabi said in a disgruntled tone.
Is she jealous? Both the jonin and Drogo thought.
"I'm just good with little kids. Had a sister like her once. A few years ago so I know how to make them happy" he whispered.
"Where is your sister?" the jonin man asked immediately regretting such a rhetorical question.
"Dead, killed by the person my mother ran off with." That was all he said before silence followed and Hanabi glared at Konohamaru for ruining the atmosphere. Without talking they finally reached the jail where he was thrown inside while both joins bid their farewell.
"You said you wanted to fight so in two days when you get out to come to the Hyuga estate I might help you with your Bakugan since I know you have no fighting style suited for it" Hanabi smiled. This boy didn't seem as bad as she thought.
"If you want a sparring session come find me. I'll take you on anytime kid" Konohamaru said the same as they both left.
As night approached far far away in a distant place that existed far from any shinobies. A figure stood by looking up in the sky full of stars.
"The comet has entered the constellation. The destiny of the stars, the time for harvest is near." the figure had a logo of a crescent moon and a sun on his back. "And just as I thought the key to it all.....are them"
Looking down again at a distant planet "Two people the light and dark. Two sides of the same coin. One would bring death while the other life. The world will change the future cannot be known."
The next day the students were enjoying the weekend they had. Boruto and the guys went to watch a movie about a superhero and then ate at their usual burger joint.
"The guy seemed good at acting but it was a little too convenient. The villain appearing itself and then the hero beating him." Boruto told his friends.
Shikadai sipped on his drink "You didn't seem to take your eyes off him though"
Iwabe pointed at him and said "No, I agree a Ninja life isn't that easy...For example, Lord Hokage-"
"You only know Dad's good side. He isn't like that at home" Boruto interrupted him
Denki who was curious asked "What is Hokage like?" to which Boruto relaxed back
"He is sloppy and always late for work. He wears shoes wrong and is always tired at work" Causing their image of an awesome hokage to crumble.
"Fine but there is still Drogo. A kid like him who has struggled so hard to get so strong as he is. Surely you'll give me that" Iwabe shot back
"Tch! Fine, I'll give you that Drogo does seem like a scary dude who's suffered a lot. Especially with what he did yesterday. At least now we know what three things he hates." Boruto said
There was a short silence before Shikadai spoke up "Hey, who do you think he hates the most? He said he hated three things and this said person was at the number one spot. Surely we've seen what he does with the third most hated thing the number one will have it the worst."
None of them really had a clue who that person was but nevertheless, Boruto gave his thoughts "Maybe it's the person that killed his sister. He never talks about it but he did tell me the only person he loved was his sister so I'm guessing it should be that person"
Shikadai gave it a thought before nodding "Seems to be the most logical reason. Oh man, I would hate to be that person. Drogo really would kill him in the most brutal way he could" they all laughed nervously. The idea of killing someone was still new to them. They knew there would be killed if they became a ninja but they weren't even Genin yet.
Later as the sun was setting down. Boruto and Shikadai were seen sitting on top of a train contemplating about the dark shadow.
"If it's really much then you should just ask help from Lord Hokage," Shikadai told him
Boruto looked up at the carved stone face of his father "I can't, ya know. My dad and others can't help with this"
"Then who would you ask for help I mean I would help you but we do need leads."
"Drogo we can ask Drogo to help when he comes out. He can see them as well and unlike my eye which awakens when I see the dark shadow, Drogo has both his eyes always activated or maybe that's his natural state. As far as I know, we both have the same ability so he would be able to help"
Shikadai got up "Sure then we'll ask him when he gets out." Jumping up to grab a pole he bid Boruto farewell.
At night Boruto contemplated the incident making shadow clones of himself but couldn't reach a solid conclusion so he decided to jump out of the window of his room and go to the convenience store to get food.
Approaching the store he saw Shikadai sitting down and both seemed surprised to see each other.
"So why don't you ask your mother then? She is the princess if the Hyuga clan isn't she?" Boruto nodded at this holding his burger.
"You mean the Byakugan..." he muttered.
"The byakugan, one of the three great Dojutsu. Passed down only through the Hyuga clan, known as the Strongest among the hidden leaf..." Boruto and Shikadai almost jumped from the sudden appearance of Mitsuki
"When did you come here?" the blonde boy questioned.
Mitsuki smiled "I've been here for some time"
They both sighed at his antics, Shikadai turned around again "Why don't you ask about the Byakugan then?"
Boruto looked down at his burger squeezing it gently as he was hit with a flashback of him entering the Hyuga household and meeting his grandfather who looked really scary with his serious face on.
"You don't want to?" the ponytailed kid asked
With Boruto shaking his head "Kinda..."
Mitsuki looked over crouching "But you don't know where to start then? You should ask Drogo since he can see them as well."
"I would ask him if not for him pulling that stunt which sent him to jail. No one is allowed to meet him until he comes out and I really can't wait till then"
"Then the best answer is to ask about byakugan then you have to start somewhere and this might be the right place" the pale boy replied back
Letting their words sink in Boruto went home and back to bed. Closing his eyes and sighing deeply.
Similarly, in the cell that Drogo was in, he decided to get some sleep and closed his eyes.
Suddenly a ring of chime woke him up from his sleep and similarly in the Uzumaki household Boruto woke up from it as well.
Opening his eyes Drogo saw himself in a broken building with larger pillars erected and the light shining from the small broken pieces of the ceiling. Casting faint beams of light. His eyes looked around "What the? Is this a dream? But it looks so real." he muttered
The same thoughts were on Boruto's mind as well. He seemed to be in a similar place. "Where am I?"
A dark figure appeared behind him "I'm talking to you through your dream" looking back he saw no one as the voice sounded again in front of him.
The same situation was happening with Drogo as well yet it seemed that Boruto and he were seeing the same person but in their own dreams.
"A dream? Who are you?" Boruto asked surprised
The person in question was visible now and wore white, high-collared kimono with a black obi, over which he wore a pale green sash tied at the right shoulder. Down below he wore black fingerless gloves, long black pants, and black shinobi sandals. He was pale skinned and had shaggy white hair. He also had some kind of tattoo on his collarbone.
Pointing towards Boruto "Boruto Uzumaki, your eye is the star of hope....against the destruction that will come to pass."
"Huh" Boruto still confused at this while the man continued "The power of Hope slumbers in you. With that eye, you will shoulder the fate of this world." as Boruto touched his eye and saw a certain creature with a similar dark aura surrounding it.
"Your eyes will probably guide you to the light which will dispel the darkness." the voice started to fade so did the surroundings.
Before it completely vanished the man uttered his last words "You are light while he is darkness. Two sides of the same coin. Will darkness take over light or will your light shine his darkness. You might possess this eye but he possesses everything. You, however, possess something more important the will to fight the will to struggle and the bonds. He might become your greatest enemy or he might become your greatest ally towards the true threat of this world" before Boruto could ask who he was talking about everything went dark.
Over towards Drogo's side, the pale-skinned man had just appeared in front him and kept staring at Drogo "You truly have his features. You've only inherited the hair and the physical strength of your mother"
His eyes went wide what was this place and who was this person to know about his deepest secret moreover he mentioned him having someone else features.
"Who are you and how do you know who I am?" Drogo's voice became Icy trying to reach back for his sword only to find nothing when he decided to use Genjetsu on the person yet nothing happened.
"Don't worry this is your dream. You cant use anything to hurt me nor can I to you. I mean you no harm only to warn you of the path you have decided to walk." he spoke softly this time.
"You haven't answered my question yet who are you and how do you know my name?" he questioned again putting his guard on.
The man looked into his eyes "Kai Senju do not be a fool. The path of revenge is steep and full of nails. You are the child chosen by darkness itself yet darkness isn't evil. It is we who chose to classify it as evil. The same is with you, the path of revenge is a dangerous one and will swallow you. Those eyes are the most powerful things to have ever existed. Your whole body is something that never should've existed."
Bombarded with so many words and most which didn't make sense "Darkness" and being chosen. He didn't know what it meant but revenge was something he was familiar with and what he was striving for. Everything he had done so far was for revenge.
"I don't care who you are and what you mean by being chosen by darkness but if you know about my revenge then you would know that I will never abandon it. This world is filthy. The ninjas are filthy. There is no order there is no law. All these big villages safeguard is people inside. What about that outside? Those like me that suffer from the brutal onslaught of these savage missing nins and bandits?" Drogo yelled back
However, there was no change in the man's expression he shook his head as the world started to fade "It seems the time is already up. Know this Kai Senju you are not alone should you chose to be. You have people that care for you but your revenge blinds you. You are our side branches main hope. The blood of the side branch and main branch runs through you. The MARK on your left hand is proof of it. The future battle will be hard if you follow this path. Those eyes as much as strong they are they will one day plunge this whole world in chaos and destruction. Is this what your Sister Mia Senju would've wanted?"
Drogo was pushed back and felt like he was falling down soon everything turned dark and he woke up sweating heavily. Bringing his left hand up to see the Dimond shaped black mark on the middle of his palm which he had ignored all his life since he never got to know what it was.
He clenched his fists tight reminiscing the last words that person said "What my sister would want? No one knows what she would've wanted since she was killed by her. Her voice is not there anymore yet the women who took it all continue to live a happy life. So no I don't care about what path I have chosen. I don't care if the world plunges to chaos as long as she dies horribly with the rest of these ninja villages" breathing out he emptied his head.
There was a lot to learn from the unknown man. He was certain he knew who Drogo was and who his father was perhaps. He mentioned clan but never told him which clan. So many questions with little to no answers.
The sun shined and a new day began while Drogo was figuring out his thoughts the Uzumaki household was facing its own problems.
Boruto woke up the next day and rubbed his right eye while blinking he was taken aback when he saw his vision was different from normal times. Right now it looked like the time when he activated his eyes so he quickly got up looked himself in the mirror.
"It's real my eye really is real and I'll save the world, Yahoo!" he shouted loudly bringing Himawari to his room as she rubbed her eyes seeing as she just woke up due to his shout.
"Big brother..." she muttered and looked up to see Boruto wearing some weird glasses while acting in a similar weird fashion.
"Oh it's you Himawari, a pearl coloured nightmare foretold my destiny." she, however, had a dumbfounded expression on her face as she tilted her head "Huh? Pearl?" her brother sure was acting weird today.
Boruto then went on to say some more cliche lines to her about being the chosen one and saving the world and whatnot.
A few minutes later Naruto entered his house with Shikamaru who were greeted by Hinata. "Thanks for always taking care of him Shikamaru" who was about to bid farewell when they heard a loud shout from upstairs.
Puzzled Naruto looked up towards his wife who was uneasy herself "Its Boruto and he's acting kind of weird" this got his attention as well their son was a troublemaker sure but he wasn't the type to act weird.
Running upstairs with Hinata and Shikamaru behind he opened the door to Boruto's room and saw him in his cliche mode talking about saving the world and goddess of destiny.
Himawari who approached her father tugged on his shirt "Papa, Big brother has been acting weird" her pure eyes stared at her father.
The three adults sweat dropped seeing the scene. Finally, Boruto turned around seeing his father. "Dad I've awakened an awesome power" he raised his hands showing a victory sign.
"Awesome power?" hokage was confused for a moment before he shivered badly and got on his knees putting both his hands on his son's shoulders "Wait a minute, Boruto! You didn't steal the scroll of sealing or something like that, did you?" he became serious.
Taking off his weird glasses he looked back "What is a scroll of sealing?"
"A scroll that contains forbidden ninjutsu. Naturally, since they are forbidden m, they are very dangerous ninjutsu" Shikamaru was the one to answer his question.
The boy still had the same perplexed look "Its the first time I've heard of it. And besides what's it got to do with me?"
Shikamaru looked nervous "Well there was one guy in the past who stole it so that he could become stronger quickly"
"That's horrible! Don't lump me with that guy!" the kid frowned causing Naruto to sweat badly.
"Yea that's right, that guys totally inexcusable" he laughed nervously
While both Shikamaru and Hinata tried to stop themselves from laughing. The person they were talking about was Naruto himself who did such a thing when he was young. It sure brought back memories for them.
"So what is this 'Awesome power' you were talking about?" Naruto asked again.
Boruto pointed at his right eye "The Byakugan" and smiled
Stunned by this all three adults were taken back. Shikamaru was the first to speak "The byakugan requires intense training before one can manifest it"
"Oh really, then I must be a genius" he gloated
His mother however covered her mouth "Impossible!" she knew best how a byakugan could awaken and her son clearly had not.
Naruto's facial expression didn't change as he remained very serious which Boruto noticed "What's wrong dad?"
"like what Shikamaru just said, the Byakugan requires considerable training before you can use it. And I know better than anyone, that you haven't gone through that kind of training" Naruto carefully picked his words so as not to dishearten his son however the damage was still done. Boruto looked mortified and angered.
"What, Are you trying to say I'm lying?" he looked down
His father got up "No, there are cases like Himawari who've awakened it out if the blue so we can't write it off just yet, but...." he looked back at his son
Boruto kept staring at the ground anger bubbling inside him "In other words, you don't trust me!"
"There has to be at least some basis for it, at least," his father said
"I can see it!" the boy shouted only for his mother to stop him "Boruto, there is no point in arguing here. You must talk to your grandfather about this. I will contact him and he will know if you have awakened Byakugan or not" she patted his shoulder trying to console him.
"I'll go see grandfather or whoever you want. I'll prove it that I'm not lying" he shouted at his father. And so they went off to see their grandfather. Him, Naruto and Himawari while Hinata stayed behind.
On the north side of the village in a cell, Drogo was stretching and doing some pushups when the guard opened his door "Your time is up boy"
"About time it's up. I was starting to feel bored. What should I do now?" he questioned as he got out
"Oh, yea didn't Hanabi say I can fight her when I get out. Should probably pay a visit. In itching for a good fight. Didn't have one ever since Mitsuki" Crackling his knuckles he put his hands in his pockets and strolled off towards the Hyuga compound.
The Uzumaki family finally reached the Hyuga compound as Boruto stopped to look At the big sign which said "Hyuga"
"I can't deal with this" he muttered
"What can't you deal with?" A thick elderly voice spoke from behind him. Turning around he saw an elderly man with a lot of grey hairs.
A featureless white eye and he wore traditional, loose-fitting robes with a long-sleeved, brown haori.
His facial expression was very scary and was looking down at Boruto causing him to be intimidated by him. However, the old man grabbed Boruto in a hug and suddenly he went from an old scary person to a loving adult "Oh I'm so glad you're here, Boruto!" he smiled rubbing his grandson's hair.
Himawari saw that it was her grandfather and she strolled towards him shouting "Grandpa!" getting embraced by the elderly man as he hugged and rubbed their heads.
The door to the compound opened and Hanabi stepped out looking at her father "Father..." she said as if tired by his antics.
Naruto looked at them both and greeted them to which Hanabi said not to stand on ceremony. Just like her father she went straight to the kids and embraced them in a hug "Hi, it's me your Auntie" she went on to rub her cheeks on theirs and simply showered them with love. Naruto just stood their sweatdropping.
Going inside Boruto, Naruto and Hisashi went in a room while Hanabi went outside to play with Himawari.
Inside Boruto explained to his grandpa that he might have awakened Byakugan but similar to Naruto who had a serious face he too went on to explain about Byakugan.
"The Byakugan is a kekkai Genkai and is passed down through the Hyuga clan and not everyone can awaken it. It requires rigorous and intense training" these words crumbled Boruto's confidence ad his father has said the same. He clenched his hands
"You said only Hyuga clan has it but why does Drogo have a Byakugan? And where he's from there is no one to teach him about byakugan." Boruto replied.
Hisashi was confused and shocked at this. He had never heard of an individual with the name of Drogo in his clan to anywhere. If there was such a person in his clan he would surely remember since the name Drogo was a unique one. "Who is Drogo?"
It was Naruto's turn to speak "Oh father I've been busy so I couldn't tell. A few days ago an orphan showed from outside the village. The boy's name was Drogo and when we met he explained he had Sharingan which we tested and proved to be true. Later Sakura ran some more test on his blood and found Hyuga bloodline in him. The boy has a byakugan as well as a sharingan as I and Hinata have confirmed it"
"A boy with a Sharingan and Byakugan more so with both eyes having sharingan and byakugan. This is unheard of and you should've told me about this Naruto. If he has a byakugan then he possesses our bloodline that means he belongs to this family as well" Hisashi frowned at Naruto for not telling him something this important.
"Forgive me father but I was very busy with work and the boy lives with Sakura in the Uchiha household. When we found out about his Byakugan Hinata and I did plan on bringing him here for you to check it out however there was a certain incident involving him and well he is occupied now" Naruto rubbed the back of his head
Then he looked at Boruto "Drogo had his own situation for him to awaken byakugan. Like I said with Himawari there are certain rare cases but since Drogo has been surviving outside the deep trauma might be one reason for him to awaken his Byakugan and Sharingan together or it might be tough situations that caused him to unintentionally awaken it."
Hisashi finally got up and went outside as he wore shoes "I am still not certain if you truly have awakened your Byakugan so let's test it"
Awakening his own Byakugan as veins popped out from next to his eyes he looked back at Boruto "I'll be your opponent. Now come!"
Boruto was taken back by this while Naruto looked very serious at his father-in-law.
Outside the residence, a figure with a jawbone mask was approaching the household.
