Hinata's P.O.V:
"Lady Hinata!" Neji-niisama called out to me "Where are you going without a guard? Hinata-sama things are no longer as they used to be, you are now our precious Clan Head you have to be more careful" he belated me.
Instead of hating it I loved it, I felt all warmed up thanks to his concern. It showed how much he cared about me and treasures me.
"Sorry, Neji-niisama. I am simply meeting up with my team" I apologized, my cheeks surely crimson red.
"Your team? You mean the Senju princess and that Uchiha brat?" he inquired, mouth twisting into a sneer.
"Don't be mean Neji-niisama" I scolded him lightly "Both Yue-chan and Sasuke-chan have been good to me and helped me out immensely. They are my precious best friends. And right now Sasuke-chan needs me, needs our friendship"
"Right" he sighed, his expression softening slightly "It is not every day that you find out that your family masacre wasn't done by your brother but it was all a set up. And that the brother you thought was a traitor in reality was a hero risking his life in enemy territories... though you didn't seem that surprised" he accused me.
"Yue is very good recollecting information, did you really thought she would leave her teammates and best friends in the dark?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"Point taken" he replied "I still can't believe that we will be having an Uchiha Hokage. Tobirama-sama must be rolling in his tomb" he commented with disdain.
"But Hashirama-sama must be celebrating in the after life. After all his dream of reconciliation between the Senju and Uchiha clan is happening" I fired back, as we made our way to the Uchiha compound "It is a new era Neji-niisama, it's time we change with it. Just look ate all that's happening: there are no longer branches in the Hyuga Clan, there's going to be an Uchiha Hokage and the Senju and Uchiha Clans will be united in the future by marriage"
"Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? Senju-san and Uchiha-san are both only eleven and their relationship has only just started" Neji-niisama commented.
"Have you seen them together yet?" I replied back "They act like a married couple already, there's no way they will ever break up... but you are right I am getting ahead of myself. We can leave the talk of marriage and kids for far into the future, there's still time" I conceded "But we all know that it will happen. Uchihas only fall in love once and when they do they hold into that with all their might. Why do you think they go insane when they loose their loved once"
"Good point... but still I do not want you talking about marriage and kids any time soon. Otherwise we will have a lot of trouble keeping those old men in the council in check. I can already see it, them parading their sons in front of you for you to choose a fiance" I shuddered at the picture Neji-niisama painted.
"I am more worried about what they will do to my children" I counterattacked "There were two Senju Hokages, one Sarutobi and one Namizake. And now there will be an Uchiha Hokage, they will want the next one to be a Hyuga"
"You... you are completely right! I've never thought about that!" he exclaimed shocked "Two of the founding clans have a Hokage in their ranks, and the other two are from new Clans that were formed with Konoha. If the next one isn't a Hyuga our Clan will receive a big blow to our pride"
"They will. Right now they will let their hate for the Uhciha's slide as we are going through enough changes as it is, but in a decade or so they will push hard to train the next Hokage" I sighed tiredly, simply by the thought of what's to come.
Next to me Neji-niisama sighed, feeling as troubled as I was. But nothing else was said as we had already reached the Uchiha Compound. What I expected to see was many abandoned houses with warning taped surrounding them, a ghost compound that had all kids running back to their mommy's arms. However, what I found were many shadow clones running from side to side cleaning the place up.
