That's My Boy

Chapter 10

Chapter Ten

The next day, Haru goes to find Hinata. Sasuke's Summon had returned. It looked like he had news too!

"Mother! The snake came back. He says Kakashi sent a team of ANBU after the bad people!" The young boy tells her.

"That's very good news. Hopefully, they catch them soon and we can go home." She says with a smile and pulls Haru into her embrace.

There was so much of Sasuke in him and it wasn't just his looks. This is what Sasuke would have been like if the Massacre hadn't happened, she decided. So innocent, happy, and carefree. She was going to miss Haru horribly when he went back.

Her face heats up. Hinata realized that at the rate she and her new lover were going, they might not be separated from Haru for terribly long. She still couldn't believe what she had done last night.

She had been so outrageous. Sasuke Uchiha had actually allowed her to chain him up! He hadn't seemed to have mind though. If anything, it seemed to make him even more...aggressive in his passion. He was definitely a very good pouncer.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll be okay." Haru says and snuggles into his mother's warm, loving arms.

"Haru...I know you are young. So if you can't, that's understandable. But do you know if you can wield the Byakugan, Sharingan, or some combination?" She asks curiously.

"Oh that. Yeah! I have one eye of each." He says.

Hinata blinks. She hadn't expected that. This kid was going to really be something when he grew up.

She tried to imagine Haru when he was a grown man. He was going to be an absolute terror on the battlefield. It seemed at odds with his gentle nature though. Maybe he'd be a medic like her?

"Yup! I'm strong. Just like father and mother!" He says cheerfully.

"Can you show me?" She asks.

"Okay!" He says and activates both of them.

It was an unnerving though stunning visual. Despite only having one Byakugan, the veins around both eyes were enlarged. His Sharingan was a shade or two lighter than Sasuke's. The Byakugan was the same color as Hinata's though.

"That's good for now. You can deactivate them. You don't want to overdo it. I'll show you some Gentle Fist style." Hinata tells and Haru does as she asks.

Hinata was thankful that for the most part, it looked like Haru had inherited her more...accommodating nature. She was pretty sure kid Sasuke would have kept them both on longer just to prove he could do it. Sasuke was very stubborn that way.

While his personality was more gentle, his fighting style definitely took after Sasuke. There was a certain aggressiveness to the way he moved. It might not be incompatible with the traditional Hyuga style, but it was at odds with it. The Hyuga Style called for precision. Haru seemed to prefer to use blunt force. Though he was five, it might just purely be a matter of age.

"Haru? Can you tell me more about your grandfather?" She asks.

Haru tilts his head to the side. The boy was considering. He probably wasn't going to tell her anything that she didn't already know. Haru doubted the timeline would get messed up if he told her.
