In my Dream Chapter 22

In my Dream
Chapter 22

A lone figure ran quietly through the dark alley of Konoha and the dark cloak of the night. With as much stealth as he could, he continued.

She was trailing the person right in front of him.

He stopped at the figure and did the same as another figure came around the corner.

Two Hyuuga men met in an abandoned sector of Konoha. They looked at each other. One was an older council member, while the other was middle-aged.

“So,” said the elder.

“I’ve gotten word that all the seals are in place,” said the young Hyuuga.

“So, everything will be ready for tomorrow?” asked the elder.

“That is correct,” answered the young Hyuuga.

“Well, I came across some news myself,” said the elder.

“What is it?” asked the other.

“It seems the Uzumaki Naruto has a blood limit, and because of that, they request he gets another wife, and it appears that that wife is Hyuuga
Hanabi,” said the elder.

“I already know that; that is part of the plan,” said the young Hyuuga.

“How did you.”

“Shh, “the young Hyuuga activated his byakugan, “We are being watched.”

The elder Hyuuga smiled. “Let’s drag him out.”

“Yes, but I will do this quietly,” said the young Hyuuga as he began to walk away, and the elder followed.

Another figure ran through the Konoha street. Then, from the radio on his neck came a voice.

“Konohamaru, there on the move. I think they spotted me. I’m backing off.”

“They,” he said.

“Yeah, he met up with another.”

“Where are they headed?” asked Konohamaru.

“I think they headed towards Moegi.”

“Moegi, did you get that?” asked Konohamaru.

“Yeah, I got it. I’ll follow them and report.”

“Be careful,” said Konohamaru.

Konohamaru continued to run through, trying to find a place to catch the two Hyuuga members. He ran till he suddenly ran into someone as he rounded the corner.

“Idiot, why don’t you watch where your g---- oh Konohamaru, it is you.”

“Hanabi, what are you doing this late?” asked Konohamaru.

“Me? What about you?” asked Hanabi.

“Well, I don’t know if I should tell you.” Said Konohamaru.

“What? Come on, you can tell me, “Said Hanabi.

“SHHhh, alright, I’ll tell you. Just be quiet. My team and I are following a Hyuuga member,” said Konohamaru.

“A Hyuuga, why?” asked Hanabi.

“Well, it’s been over a month since I noticed some Konoha council members acting differently.”

“Different?” said Hanabi.

“Yeah, like they suddenly changed opinion on some issue, or they vote on something that is against their beliefs, and these changes come almost overnight,” said Konohamaru.

“What does that have to do with the Hyuuga clan?” asked Hanabi.

“Well, this one night, my team and I followed three members of the council, one each, to see if we could catch anything, hoping we got lucky. Later, we saw one of them meet up with the Hyuuga in an abandoned house in the forest, and ever since then, the councilman has acted differently.

After that day, we started following Hyuuga, but we haven’t seen him meet up with anyone else. However, the Konoha councilmen continued to change one by one.”

“And that’s the Hyuuga you're following now,” asked Hanabi.

“Yeah, days later, after we saw the councilman leave the abandoned house, I snuck into the Hyuuga compound, and I overheard a conversation between many of the Hyuuga councilmen, and they said something about a plan, but I don’t know what,” said Konohamaru.

“You snuck into the Hyuuga compound. Do you know how dangerous that is? If they had found you, they could have killed you, idiot,” said Hanabi.

“You almost sounded like you were worried,” said Konohamaru.

“Did not,” she replied.

“Did, too,” he said.

They stood silent for a while, and then Konohamaru looked at her.

“Hey, Hanabi, remember when I asked you out? How come you never said anything, not even a no?” said Konohamaru.

“Because I didn’t feel like it,” she replied.

“I asked you out because I thought you liked me,” he said.

“I do like . . .. I mean . . . I . . .”

“Then what happened?” he asked.

“I . . . I just . . . I wasn’t ready, ok?” she said.

“Well, are you ready now if I ask you out?” he asked.

“Well, I don’t know, it’s just that I don’t think I could,” said Hanabi.

“Why?”

Hanabi sighed, “Did you know that Naruto has a Blood limit?”

“Yeah, he told me about it some time ago, but what does that have to do with what we're talking about?” said Konohamaru.

“Because of that, the council insisted he get a second wife. The other day, Joyce asked me.”

“She asked you to be the second wife.” Konohamaru finished her sentence, and she just nodded.

“You said yes, didn’t you? Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve never been able to say no to her,” said Konohamaru.

“It’s just that she’s done so much for me ever since I was born, and now it’s my turn to do something important for her,” said Hanabi.

“But do you even want that?” asked Konohamaru.

“That doesn’t matter,” replied Hanabi.

“Wait, you said that this occurred because of Naruto’s blood limit, and the council has insisted on it, but Naruto only found out about his blood limit about three weeks ago,” said Konohamaru.

“And?” replied Hanabi.

Konohamaru sighed while placing his hand on his face. “The change in the councilmen goes back a month, so by the time the issue of Naruto’s blood limit came, they were already making different decisions. If I remember correctly, when my grandfather was Hokage, he amended the bigamy law. The council can only present the idea to the clan; it’s up to the clan if they decide to practice it.”

“Joyce said that the councilmen said there was no other choice but to lie and force Naruto into it,” asked Hanabi.

“I don’t know, that is why we're following this guy,” said Konohamaru.

“Do you think Hyuuga is connected to that in any way?” asked Hanabi.

“Definitely,” answered Konohamaru.

“Why would the Hyuuga want Naruto to have two wives?” said Hanabi.

“We’ll just have to find out,” replied Konohamaru.

“That’s if you ever get the chance,” said someone behind them.

They both turned around to see who it was, but Konohamaru never got the chance as he was knocked out.

“You are part of the Hyuuga council,” said Hanabi.

“Yes,” replied the Hyuuga as he got near Hanabi.

“Don’t come any closer,” she said as she took a stance.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you.”

“What do you want?” she asked.

“There is an issue we need to discuss.”

“You, you’ve made the council impose the law on Naruto. Why? What are you doing to the council?” asked Hanabi.

“I see you already know some of the plans. Well, it doesn’t matter; it’s time, you know. As of this moment, you are not the heir to the Hyuuga clan, but we want to bring you back in the future. You see, tomorrow, the Hyuuga clan will be the new leader of Konoha and will stay in power forever,” said the Hyuuga.

“What? Why?”

“There will be no more Hokage; the Hyuuga clan will rule, strengthening Konoha. We will impose all of the Hyuuga fighting style, strength, and training on Konoha,” said the Hyuuga.

“You're controlling the council, aren’t you? That’s how you’re going to take power,” said Hanabi.

“Yes”

“So why did you make the council impose the law on Naruto?” asked Hanabi.

“Because I knew that Hinata would come to you, and I knew you would say yes,” said the Hyuuga.

“But if you want to bring me back as the heir in the future, why did you make them impose the law if you knew Hinata would ask me if you did know that’s why I’m no longer heir?” replied Hanabi.

“Hanabi, everything is going as planned. You see, we wanted you to say yes. We want you back as heir, but only after you get pregnant,” said the Hyuuga.

“WHAT?”

“When the Hyuuga are in power, we need a good leader- you. Then, with your baby, the Hyuuga clan will evolve into an even stronger and better clan with the Uzumaki blood limit. When you get pregnant, you tell no one but us. Then, we will ask the council to remove the law from Naruto. Then, you will be instated as the head of the clan. We will pass the baby off as someone else’s. Uzumaki will never know the baby is his,” said the Hyuuga.

“NO, never. I will never do that to my sister or Naruto; even if I were to get pregnant, I would never leave my baby without his real father,” said Hanabi.

“We chose you because we thought you would support our plan,” said Hyuuga.

“Well, you're wrong. I won't,” said Hanabi.

“I thought you were different from your sister, but I was wrong; you’re just as weak as her, body and mind. We will still rule with or without you, but you already know everything, so I guess we’ll have to get rid of you,” said the Hyuuga.

Before Hanabi could do anything, two other Hyuugas retrained her arms. Then, with a quick jab to the back of her head, Hanabi was knocked out.

“What do we do with her?” asked one of the two men.

“Take her with the others. The sun will rise soon . . . It’s time we leave,” replied the Hyuuga councilman as he left with the others.

The sun began to rise as little light started to break into the forest through the trees. Saya Emi and the others waited for Jiraiya to return.

Everyone turned to see Jiraiya's land and waited for him to speak.

“I didn’t find anything,” said Jiraiya.

“With all the rain that fell last night, I don’t think we will find any leads to where he is,” said Kakashi.

“I miss mommy,” said Saya.

“And daddy,” said Emi.

“What do we do now?” asked Gai.

“Isn’t there any way we could track him down?” asked Shikamaru.

“Maybe there is a way,” said Saya as she looked at Emi.

“Yeah,” said Emi as both girls focused and summoned Kyuubi and Hachibi.

“We need your help,” said Saya but was halted by Kyuubi’s hand.

“We're two steps ahead of you; we already tried,” said Kyuubi.

“And what happened?” asked Emi.

“Well, normally, we would be able to track him down since we are connected to him, but right now, we can't seem to find him,” said Kyuubi.

“Why?” asked Emi.

“It’s like his body has shot down and gone on lockdown,” said Hachibi.

“And why would that happen?” asked Kakashi.

“We’ll see that would happen if he's unconscious or.”

“Or dead?” Jiraiya finished Hachibi’s sentence.

“Is he right?” asked Kakashi.

“No, he’s not dead. If he were dead, all of our chakra in him would have transferred to the necklaces, and that has not happened,” said Kyuubi.

“So, our dad is still alive,” asked Saya.

“At this moment, yes, your father is still alive,” said Kyuubi.
