Sairai 再来

Chapter 2 - The battle of the Leaders

Third Pov

The 29th of January was not a usual day in Konoha, even though young kids were still going to the academy to become ninjas, the civilians were still going on with their own business, the ninjas still on their way to fulfill the missions that were given to them, and the Fourth Hokage was looking as always at the village, but it was not a normal day.

It was winter in the Fire Land, but usually, winters there aren't cold or snowy, but today, for the first time maybe in decades the temperature dropped so low that snow started falling.

It was a silent day with an atmosphere so dense that it was almost palpable, but it all snapped when a certain pregnant woman that was walking with the love of her life through the streets of the Uchiha compound entered in labor.

At the same time, at the Hyuga compound, on the other side of the village, a man not over 30 with a betrayed and sadden look over his lavender eyes sat on his knees with his head low in front of the leader of his clan, Hiashi Hyuga, and the clan elders.

"Shouldn't you be with your wife now, Ryo?" asked the clan leader, clearly annoyed by the presence of the man.

"Forgive me Leader-sama, but I cannot hold this in me any longer. Mei does not bare my child in her, but the child of an Uchiha. We never consumed our marriage. She asked me to keep this a secret from you, Leader-sama, but I cannot carry this anymore." Ryo said to his leader, a few tears forming in his eyes as he talked, because of shame and betrayal.

He could no longer hold it in him. Maybe this was his way of getting revenge on Mei for loving another man and tainting the pure blood of the Hyugas with Uchiha blood, something that was forbidden in his clan.

As the man talked about the sin that his wife committed, Hiashi could feel his annoyance turning into anger and then pure fury. His Byakugan activated without knowing and he let a gigantic KI. His sister, Mei, had broken the rules and went against her clan for an Uchiha man.

Hiashi treasured the Hyuga rules and way of life, but the elders behind him breathed those rules, ate those rules, and lived only for those rules. They thought this was atrocious, that went against nature itself. 'That thing needs to die', they thought as they listened to Ryo's story.

Hiashi stood up in a blink of an eye, the elders following his moves.

"Where is that traitor now?" he asked with disgust in his voice.

"At the Uchiha compound," Ryo responded but didn't get to finish as Hiashi and the elders exited the room in a second and headed for the Uchiha compound. Hiashi's wife and his brother Hizashi joined him and the elders when they felt his KI.

On the other side of the village, Mei screams could be heard through the compound as she gave birth. Kaminari, her lover, was holding her hand as he was telling her encouraging words.

His mother was helping with the delivery and the wife of the Leader of the Uchiha clan was preparing the towels to wash the baby after.

Fugaku, the leader of the Uchihas, was just outside the room. He knew about the affair between Kaminari and Mei, and the only reason why he let it happened was that he was curious about what power would an offspring of both clans wield.

He turned his head to the Uchiha that was standing next to him as he felt Hiashi's KI approaching.

"Send for the Hokage." He simply stated as he resumed his glaring to the horizon.

"Understood Leader-sama." The man said as he puffed away.

A few more screams from the Hyuga female could be heard and two curious heads popped out of nowhere from around the corner.
