Chapter 7: Growing up and training (part 1)

I can't believe it's been already a year since I'm in this world, time goes really fast.

The last four months were uneventful, I used that time to train my Byakugan, it's level 6 now.

Thanks to my eidetic memory, I was able to perfectly memorize the location of all the 361 tenketsu. Furthermore, with my new range of vision of 600 meters, I'm now able to see the training grounds of the clan. Sometimes there are people training the Gentle Fist there, I observe them and memorize their movements, it doesn't look that hard. I can't wait to be old enough and try it myself. I plan to start my physical training when I will be around two years old and not sooner because if I train too soon it can stunt my growth. Even if the system strengthens my body, I don't want to take risks.

Speaking of the system, thanks to my birthday it gave me a level, I'm now level 5, great!

I have ten attributes points to spend. Like before I'm going to spend them equally. 'PWR+3, CHA+3, AGL+4'.

[You spent 10 attributes points.]

PWR: 16

CHA: 16

AGL: 21

I get up from my bed and head for the bathroom outside my bedroom.

Yeah, no more crib and no more diaper for two months now.

After finishing my toilet, I am surprised by Hamari outside the bathroom.

"Happy birthday Neji-chan!" She exclaimed happily.

"Thank you!" I answered with a smile.

"I'm going to buy a cake, we will celebrate your birthday tonight with your father."

Hamari bought me an elegant white and blue kimono and helped me to wear it.

That night, my father, Hamari and I are eating around the table. I can eat like an adult but I'm not tall enough to reach the table, so I'm eating on a baby highchair…

The meal is a traditional Japanese meal with a bowl of rice, vegetables, soup, and fish.

It's so boring… They are just eating without saying a word. Hyuga are too serious. Don't they know what a birthday party is? And what's wrong with this food? Where are my sushi and my yakitori?

Hamari finally brings the cake. There is a lit candle on it.

"So Neji-chan, what do you wish for your first birthday?" She asked.

My wish? I have a lot of wishes actually, but I'm not going to tell them.

Hmm, there is one thing I want for now.

"I want to learn to read." I said.

There is a moment of silence. Both my father and Hamari look at me like I said something weird. What's wrong with them?

"You're still too young for that. Right Hizashi-san?" Said Hamari.

"Hamari and I will teach you." Said my father.

"Thank you daddy!"

Great! Of course, I already know how to read and write but I can't show them.

I want to "learn to read" as soon as possible because there are many interesting books in my father's study room.

I want to use this year to learn medical stuff. I don't plan to become medical-nin but being able to heal is always useful and it should be easy for me with my good chakra control, my Byakugan, and my perfect memory.

At first, I wanted to learn Fuinjutsu, but there is no book about it in my father's study room… It doesn't really matter since the shop of my system sells many seals techniques even if they cost a lot. I actually find a seal in the shop that can destroy any seals, I plan to use it to destroy the cursed seal of the clan. The problem is that it cost 50000 shop points! But I'm not complaining, 50000 shop points is nothing if it can free me from a life of servitude.

After we finished eating the cake, we all went back to our activities. Worst birthday ever, haha.

I go back to my room and think about the future.

In three months, Kyubi will attack the village. It also means Minato and Kushina's death, Naruto's birth and Kyuubi sealed inside of him…

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to change these events. I am only a baby, I don't have enough strength to change things.

I know that a lot of people are going to die. I feel bad for them.

I also feel guilty because I could tell everyone about the attack, but I won't.

Yes, I'm selfish, I don't want to reveal that I know the future and that I'm not from this world even if it can save lives.

I'm not a hero, I just want to survive.

It's ironic because, in my previous life, I often dreamed that I was a ninja in this world, that I was a hero who saved everyone. And now that I'm in this world for real, I don't want to act like a hero. I'm such a hypocrite…

No! I should not think like that. I'm not a hypocrite, I'm sure anyone would do the same as me in my place. Those who say otherwise are the hypocrites…

In the following three months, I "learned to read" with my father and Hamari.

Once again they were choked by how fast I learned it.

If they had doubt that I was a genius before, now they don't doubt it anymore, haha.

I'm going to start reading books soon, in parallel I'm also going to train my chakra control since it's essential to perform medical ninjutsu.

I also raised my Byakugan to level 8. Now that I have more chakra, I can use it longer and more often, it means it level up faster.

Anyway, none of this matters for now, because tonight is The Night.

Today is October 10. My heart beat faster just by thinking about all that will happen tonight.

The only thing I can do now is wait.

it begins!

There was an ear deafening roar just a second ago. I think everyone in Konoha heard it! And now, there is this suffocating sensation…

I can feel Kyubi's evil chakra. I can feel its hatred, it's so terrifying. It feels like Kyubi is here, just next to me, ready to kill me.

My heart beat faster. I have trouble breathing…

Calm down… I need to calm down.

Kurama is not evil, it's just controlled by the bastard Obito Uchiha, who is manipulated by Madara Uchiha, who is manipulated by Zetsu, who is controlled by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Fuck the Uchiha! Fuck the Otsutsuki! They are all crazy.

Just wait until I have the Tenseigan and I will kill you all!!

"... Take Neji… Both of you go to the safe area…" It's my father's voice.

Hamari suddenly enters my room and takes me in her arms.

"Don't worry Neji-chan, we are going to a safe place." She whispered in my ears.

She then brings me out of the house, I don't know where exactly…

There are many people in this place. I can hear babies crying, kids panicking, and adults trying to calm everyone.

It's really chaos, we can hear Kyubi screaming from time to time.

I'm still in Hamari's arms, she hugs me closely and looks very anxious. I admit that I'm worried too although I know we will be fine.

Every second that passes, increases the anxiety of the people around me…

We stayed there for a very long time before someone finally announces that there is no more danger and we can all go back home.

So, it's over. Naruto is born, Kyuubi has been sealed, Minato and Kushina are dead…

Hamari brings me back in the house, puts me in my bed and sits on the chair next to it. She is probably going to stay with me until I fall asleep.

"Your father is not at home. Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine." She said.

Well, between the death of the Fourth Hokage, the victims of the attack and the rebuilding of the village, I will probably not see my father for a few days…

After a long time, I finally relax a little…

That night was really terrible. I felt so weak and helpless. I don't want to feel like that again. Never.

I really can't wait to grow up.

The following days after the attack were awful. The atmosphere was heavy. My father was always busy. Hamari often cried, probably because a lot of members of our clan died. And me? Well, this event helped me to realize that I needed to be stronger.

Speaking of becoming stronger, I'm going to start training my chakra control now. I'm starting with something easy, the leaf concentration practice. There are many trees outside the house, so I picked up a lot of leaves this morning.

[Quest name: A good medic.

Type: Main quest.

Description: Excellent chakra control is required to perform medical ninjutsu, but it's not enough.

Objective: Reach 40% Chakra control.

Reward: XP +200, Chakra affinity: Yang release.

Accept: Yes / No

]

Yang release? So Yang release is really required to perform medical ninjutsu, the manga never confirmed it. That explains why there are so few Hyuga medical-nin despite their good chakra control and their Byakugan.

I'm glad that the system gives it to me.

Of course, I accept this quest!

Alright, let's start practicing…

I put a leaf on my forehead and circulate my chakra, not too much, not too little... The leaf sticks on it.

Wow, I succeeded on the first try!

[You learned a new training skill: Leaf concentration.]

[Skill name: Leaf concentration

Level: 1/100 (0%)

Type: Training skill

Description: Stick a leaf on your body with your chakra. Sticking more leaves increases XP gains.

Effect: +0.05 CHA

Next level Effect: +0.05 CHA

Chakra cost: 10 / minute / leaf

]

A training skill!

So, if I add more leaves, the skill will level up faster. Good!

Alright, let's see what my limit is.

Two leaves… No problem. Three leaves… No problem. Four leaves… No problem. Five leaves… Still no problem. I put them in different places on my body and I can make them stick without any problem.

It's not really surprising knowing that Hyugas have the ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu in their body and that's what I'm doing almost naturally.

However, if I put more leaves, I will run out of chakra too quickly. So, I'm just going to train with five leaves for now.

Hamari stays with me most of the time, but I just hide the leaves under my clothes, so she doesn't know that I'm secretly training.

After an afternoon of training, the skill leveled up to 3. It's pretty fast!

So, it means that all skills don't have the same XP rate. It's good to know.

My father just returned from wherever he was. I want to ask him to give me a book from his study room. I hope he will accept…

I walk to his study room and see him working. Seriously, he just returned and work again?

"Daddy, can I ask you something?"

"Of course Neji, What do you want?"

"I want a book... Here." I said, pointing a big book in the bookshelf on my right.

My father walks to the bookshelf and takes the book I want.

"This one?... 'Basic Anatomy Encyclopedia'... Aren't you too young for this kind of book? Do you even know what it's talking about?" He asked.

"Of course I know!" I said.

My father sighs.

"Alright, I shouldn't be surprised anymore... If you have questions while reading it, you can ask me." He said.

He then gives me the book. Victory!!

"Thank you daddy!" I exclaimed.

I go back to my room with the book in my hands and a smile on my face.

I then start to read it...

Two months later, the training skill finally reached level 80. That means it now gives me +4 CHA, exactly what I needed to complete the quest.

[Quest: A good medic completed. Reward: XP +200, Chakra affinity: Yang]

Perfect! I then check my status. 'Status'.

Status

Name: Neji Hyuga

Level: 5

XP: 200/700

Chakra point: 400/400 (Low genin)

Endurance point: 160/160 (Low academy student)

Strength: 160 (Low academy student)

Speed: 210 (Mid academy student)

Chakra control: 40% (High genin)

Chakra Affinities: Lightning (0%), Yang (0%)

Shop Points: 26500

That's very good. But I need to continue my training.

Learning medical stuff is harder than I thought. In these two months, I was able to perfectly memorize the encyclopedia. However, there is a difference between knowing it by heart and understanding it. Remembering the names of every part of the body, every muscle, and every bone is easy. But understanding the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, and the nervous system is really difficult…

Unfortunately, I didn't like science in my previous life. At school, I preferred to secretly read manga instead of listening to the teacher. I regret it! I regret it so much. This knowledge could have been useful for now…

Well, It's not like I could have predicted that I would be reborn in the world of my favorite manga, but still...

Anyway, I don't think I will need more than a month to finally master its content. After that, I will ask my father for a new book.

Of course, I didn't forget to train my Byakugan, it's almost level 10 now.

One month later.

My training skill reached level 100 and I finally mastered the basic knowledge of anatomy.

But the most important news is that Hinata was born three weeks ago!

I can't wait to meet her! I wonder if my presence in this world will change her future...

However, the birth of Hinata also means that I have less than three years left to think of a plan to save my father.
