ANBU boot camp

Chapter 5-

Neji sat and watched the kids eating, he had not been impressed at all. No that is not two he had been impressed, with the graduating classes 'so-called' losers. Even his cousin who he couldn't stand with her gentle nature and kind smile, was preforming very well. The Uchiha had also preformed...ok...for Neij's option, but the six that seemed to keep a tight group, they were solid. And he noticed how the Blonde dead last one fated to fail always had his eyes on him, and always made sure he was between Neji and Hinata.

This training camp was far more than he ever thought possible, and this Chief was just a harsh as his uncle had warned.

Night before.

Neji was in the dojo he used at the Hyuga compound, alone as usual since most avoided him, the leader of the Main House and Clan head who was his uncle as well walked in.

"Hiashi-Sama," Neji spoke as he stopped his training and kneeled to the man.

"Stand Neji," the man spoke.

Obeying Neji stood and waited.

"Your Jōnin sensei spoke to me saying he wished to Join the new graduates training camp,"

"Yes sir, he spoke to me as well, said I could join if I wanted to but made it clear it was my choice," Neji replied. "I declined."

"As Gai said it is your choice and no one can force you, not even me," Hiashi spoke calmly and noticed how Neji narrowed his eyes at that statement. "But I suggest you go, you will learn more than you ever thought.

Neji waited as he thought, this was something he had not seen in his uncle before, "May I think about it?"

"Yes, I want this to be your choice and yours only, if the Chief even thinks that I might have pushed or forced you to go...he will remove my eyes at the least," Hiashi replied his words full of conviction.

That startled Neji never had the clan head ever admitted he was worried about a single person,

"Chief is dangerous he is also far older then he looks, the truth is no one knows how old he is. He is very skilled and has killed more people than most, the Yondaime is probably the closest to body counts. When not training our elite forces, he is an assassin one of our most effective. To be an Elite Jōnin or ANBU means you have survived him." Hiashi spoke reading Neij's face.

The boy stared at him, the training looked more interesting by the minute.

"If you go, and it will be your choice know this," Hiashi continued. "Don't use your Byakugan."

That stopped Neji cold. "What?" he asked forgetting all honorifics.

"Do not use your Byakugan it will be of no use to you with him," here Hiashi did something Neji had never seen, he sighed and took a seat motioning the boy to sit with him...With the clan head not at his feet.

"Chief Kuzai developed a skill that blocks all Genjutsu' and effects all Dojutsus' well it works on ours and the Uchiha's. Not sure if it works on the others as I do not know if it was ever tested, but I have no doubt that it does.

Some claimed that the effects on the Byakugan were a side effect of the techniques, but I know for fact, he made it FOR the Byakugan he did it just to piss off the Hyuga clan."
