Fishtail: A Neji Hyuga Story (Naruto fanfic)

"Konoha's founding history is a lie." Neji stared at his father as if he'd lost his mind. "Or atleast tampered with," One of the very few surviving memories Neji had of his father was a conversation.

Vague. Almost fading in his mind.

"I don't understand.."

His father smiled, the Byakugan staring past the young Hyuga. To something else that couldn't be seen.

"We have been entrusted with the truth. My son, you are my legacy and this duty shall be yours as well. When the time comes."

"I can't have you." Neji closed his eyes, those all seeing eyes that had become blind in love. "I can't even dare to dream of you."

She was already crying and smiling despite it. "I can't love you, doing that would be my undoing."

Presented with only two choices; to love each other and condemn the world or to forsake their love and redeem the world.
