Byakugan Princess: The Cursed Jewel [Book 1]

Part 5

"Your highness, the Hyuga's had escaped" said Karin while approaching their masters.

"How's that even possible!?!?" " yelled Fugaku. "Where's Itachi?!"

"He's already dealing with the situation your highness" she said.

"Hn." Fugaku said. "They shouldn't have gone that far. Leave Karin"

As Karin left the room Mikoto got close to her husband with a small box. "At least we have what our ancestors had been looking for"

"Right, show it to me dear" he said while Mikoto handed jim the box. Bt soon the Uchiha's eyes became dark red as they saw the box filled up with common rocks.

"No!" he said, throwing the box away. "Find them!! I want it back!!"

Mikoto's breath went erratic. "KARIN!!! TELL THE GUARDS THAT I WANT THE JEWEL BACK!! DO IT BEFORE I KILL YOU FOR LETTIG THIS HAPPEN!!!"

She scratched her hair and put it messy while Fugaku threw every object from the room to the floor.

"Fugaku, I-I want the jewel" Mikoto said frustrered.

"We will get it back no matter the consequences" he replied.

Meanwhile, Sasuke walked through the hallway, watchig all the guards moving from one side to another.

"We got her!!" said kne of the men to his brother Itachi. He approached him.

"Nii-san, what's going on?" he asked Itachi while watching the men bring back the young Hyuga princess.

"They tried to steal some of our supplies while escaping" he said while  staring closely at the Hyuga girl. Suddenly,Mikoto and Fugaku Ppeared beside them.

"You filfy little Hyuga brat!!" Mikoto yelled while slapping Hanabi, caughting everyone by surprise. "Where is it!?!? Where were you going huh?"

Hanabi turned to face her, her mouth showing a little line of blood. "I don't have to tell you anything"

Mikoto chuckled and smirked anxiously. "You don't are in posotion to tell me this! Who helped you escape and where's the jewe!?!?"

"Your majesty we believe there were twp men helping them escape along with the supplies, we may have traitors inside the castle" added one of the guards.

"Hn" said Fugaku "Take her to my room. I shall teach her a lesson."

Sasuke amd Itachi blinked at what their father said.

"Father, you don't mean.." Sasuke said.

"Desperate times, desperate measures son" added Mikoto. "This is something he must do"

The guards took a frightened Hanabi to his room.

"I insist, there must be another way so solve this" Sasuke said.

"Sasuke. Come with me" said Fugaku " You must watch and learn if you want to take the lead of the clan."

Sasuke hesitated but decided to follow him. He knew Hanabi was gonna have a bad time with him, but there was no other option.

Aslso, he asked himself why their parents were that mad about the jewel isntead about they escaping and taking the supplies. What was so important about it? What does it meant for them?

"Where are we goig Lee-san?" asked Hinata while following him.

"Royaltown. It's a safe place" he replied.

"Royaltown?" Neji asked.

"It's where the civilians live under the Uchiha's care, but due to all the wars, poverty covered all the land and it's now full of thieves"

"And how does that makes you believe it's a safe place?" Neji asked, not trusting him.

"I know people, friends of mine who can help us achieve our youthful destiny!!" he winked at both Hyugas. Neji amd Hinata sighed and continued the journey.

Once they arrived to the town. Lee motioned the Hyugas to enter a small bar. Inside of it there were lots of pirates and thieves, fightig and drinking many bottles of sake until they no longer could stand.

"Are you sure his is the place?" Hinta asked Lee.

"Hai! Hinata-sama" Lee assured her, looking at a blonde girl serving drinks to the men. "There she is!"

"Give me one bottle!!!" a drunk man said to the blonde girl. "Yamanaka misssyyy!!"

"Not until you pay me bastard" the Yamanaka girl said. "Now fuck off before I kick you out"

"Oooh fiesty oneee!!" the man said before falling on the floor due to his druken state.

The girl sighed, dealing with this kind of people every night was a hard task.

"Ino!!" she lift her head up only to see Lee approaching her with two more people.

"Lee!! It's been a long time." she said while giving him a smile.

"Long night you're having" he said.

"Yeah, yeah, the usual but I see you have some guests. Who are they?" she asked eyeing the Hyugas.

"Naruto's new youthful friends" he said. He face changed to a serious one.

"Again Lee? Didn't we agreed on only bringing the supplies?"

"I know but" he leaned closer. "The Uchiha duplicated the guards. They helped us but things got complicated."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"My sister got captured" Hinata said, lowering her head.

Ino stared at them for a while. "Fine, go upstairs, have a rest and change yourselves. Those dresses you have will get you in more trouble."

"Arigatou" Neji and Hinata said while following Lee.

"By the way Lee" Ino called. "She ain't gonna like what you told me"

"When will she arrive?" Lee asked.

"Tomorrow, from Sunagakure" she said.
