Chapter 9: Failed Schemes

Yagami and Fumiko reached the hospital with Izuna. Izuna was still sleeping in Fumiko's arms.

Yagami informed the doctor about Izuna as the doctor agreed to do a checkup of Izuna. The doctor picked up Izuna and placed him on the bed to start his checkup. The doctor took out a stethoscope as he recorded the heartbeat of Izuna. The count was 70 beats per minute which were normal for an infant.

Next up, he called his Hyuga assistant to check the Chakra Network or any internal damage to the kid. The Hyuga activated his Byakugan as he began to check the Chakra Network.

"This…."

The Hyuga was startled as he screamed loudly. The doctor and Uchiha couple were surprised by the exaggerated reaction of Hyuga.

"What's the matter, Asahi? What did you see? Was there any problem?"

The doctor calmly inquired from the Asahi Hyuga.

"What's the matter? Speak. Is my nephew alright? There is anything wrong with him right?"

Fumiko launched a barrage of questions at Hyuga medic. The Hyuga medic gulped his saliva. Izuna was startled by the noise and he began to cry.

------------

I was tired and lost in my sleep. Suddenly, I felt like somebody is peeking through me. I was startled awake as I checked my surroundings to look for the pervert who was defiling me with his gaze.

What awaited me was the creepy white eyes of Hyuga? The eyes felt like they were checking every nook and cranny of my body. I was startled by those eyes as I shouted in my fear but what came out of my vocal cords was the cry of a baby.

-----------

The doctor and the Uchiha couple blamed the Hyuga for Izuna's crying. The Hyuga apologized as he deactivated his Byakugan. Fumiko picked up Izuna as she began to gently pat Izuna to stop his crying. Izuna stopped crying after a while. The attention of a doctor and the Uchiha couple turned to Asahi and they questioned him,

"So, what was the matter?"

Asahi gulped another mouthful of saliva before he answered,

"There is no problem with the body of the infant. In fact, the kid might be healthier than any normal infant."

"So…."

Fumiko frowned and was irritated by the round-about manner of this Hyuga.

"The anomaly is that the infant has huge amounts of Chakra reserves abnormal for his age. Also, the colour of the Chakra of his chakra is different from other people. His chakra colour transits between the seven colour of Rainbow and would occasionally turn black and sometimes white. I have never seen anyone with such a weird chakra colour."

Izuna who heard it began to sweat bucket as he mentally prayed,

'Oh! Shit! These Hyugas with their creepy eyes. Why he had to check my Chakra. Any excuse could be made for the large amounts of Chakra but how to explain the festival lights colour of my Chakra.'

Izuna began to contemplate over this matter. Suddenly the light bulb of his thought lit up as an idea popped up in his mind.

'Festival lights! I have an affinity for all elements which means Light element too. Can't I manipulate my Chakra colour to appear monochrome.'

Izuna focused his mind as he began to mutter in mind

'Change my chakra colour to green. Change my chakra colour to green!'

Izuna muttered for a while but he felt no change in his body instead he built up some pressure in his intestines and released a fart through his anus.

Brrrr....

Everyone presented in the room was startled by this sound as they looked at Izuna.

Izuna embarrassedly closed his eyes as he muttered in his thoughts,

'Damnit!'

The doctor approached Izuna as he placed his hand on Izuna's stomach as checked it before he asked,

"He is alright. There is no trouble with his body, there was just built up of gases in his body which he released. What did you feed him earlier?"

"We fed him some packaged milk from the shop. The milk was fresh and was supplied this morning."

Fumiko replied to the doctor. The doctor nodded and advised,

"I would recommend feeding mother's milk for at least the next three months."

"Yes, I will keep that in mind," Fumiko replied.

"Alright! Asahi activate your byakugan and check the Chakra of Izuna again."

Asahi nodded and activated his Byakugan as he checked the Chakra of Izuna again.

"Strange it is green in colour." Asahi muttered.

"Maybe your eyes are faulty, go and get an eye-checkup."

Fumiko replied angrily. She was pissed by this Hyuga who made her Izuna cry.

"But, I am currently using an eye-drop prescribed by Doctor Yoshio."

"What prescription? That Doctor Yoshio of yours is a quack. Giving such a faulty prescription." Fumiko angrily snarled.

Cough… cough… cough…

The doctor coughed violently before he replied,

"That Quack doctor Yoshio would be me. I am sorry if my prescription is faulty but please don't blame my professional skills or I would ask to visit another doctor.

Doctor Yoshio was angry as No Doctor liked to be called a quack on their face. He blamed the entire fault on Asahi and thought of working him to death for the entire next week.

Asahi felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the expression of Doctor Yoshio. Doctor Yoshio had an ugly expression on his face as he angrily stared at him. Asahi gulped a mouthful of Saliva as he thought,

'Please, God! Spare me from this demon. I don't want to overwork again.'

Fumiko apologized and hurriedly left the room with Izuna and Yagami. They asked one of the hospital staff for the room of Aiko Uchiha and Akira Uchiha. The staff member checked the room and directed them to Room no. 23. They thanked the staff member and hurried to the room.

After they reached the Hospital room, they knocked the room slightly and waited for a reply,

"Come in."

Yagami and Fumiko entered the room and saw Akira still lying in Coma with an IV-drip and a cardio meter attached to him. On another near to the window, Aiko sat on the bed with bandages wrapped around her arms as she stared at them.

Aiko waved her hand at Fumiko and spoke,

"How are you Fumiko? Oh! You brought Izuna with you. Come and give him to me. I want to see his face and soothe my heart."

Fumiko handed over Izuna to Yagami before she stomped her way to Aiko and angrily twisted her ear.

"Aww…aww… It hurts Fumiko. Stop twisting my ear."

But Fumiko continued and angrily questioned,

"Answer me Aiko! What thoughts were in that little almond-sized brain of yours, when you decided to stay in the Land of Waterfalls for too long."

"I….I felt very good in that place. All the waterfalls and the scenic view." Aiko replied.

Aww…aww…aww….

Fumiko twisted her ear harder as she questioned the sanity of Aiko.

"Aiko, do you know how much I missed you and the first thing I heard about you is such a terrible news. I wasn't able to sleep the entire night when I heard about the mishap from Yagami. What if?....what if….."

Fumiko stopped as she wasn't able to mutter the next words and she began to cry in Aiko's arms.

Aiko consoled her for a while as she muttered,

"Oh! The devil of Uchiha has such a sweet spot in her heart."

Fumiko got up and twisted Aiko's ear again as Aiko grimaced in pain, but she had a grin on her face.

"Don't take such reckless actions again. You are a mother now and you should behave like one. Take care of your Izuna. I heard from the doctor that you won't be able to become a mother again. Is that true? Fumiko asked with worry.

Aiko smiled as she gently stroked Izuna's head,

"I won't take such reckless actions again as I would retire as a Shinobi. I will take care of Izuna and don't worry Izuna is enough for me and beside your son would also be my son."

Fumiko smiled as she wiped away her tears and hugged Aiko.

"Welcome back Aiko! I missed you."

"I missed you too Fumiko."

Yagami watched their interactions silently as he observed Akira and silently prayed,

'Get well soon my friend! Your family is waiting for you.'

Giggle….Giggle

The giggling of a baby was heard as Izuna tried to hug his mother.

Izuna was startled when he saw his father and mother alive. He felt genuinely happy when his parents were alive, he tried to call his mother but what came out of his mouths were the giggles of a baby when he tried to speak to her. He hugged his mother and laid on her chest.

Aiko was happy when she saw Izuna giggling. She misunderstood his action of hugging her for his hunger. She removed her ninja vest slightly and began to breastfeed Izuna.

Izuna was perplexed when Aiko began to feed him, but he happily went along as he began to drink his mother's milk and felt bliss.

------------------------

Somewhere in the outskirts of Konoha, in an Underground building

A Goat-masked shinobi in an Anbu outfit presented a scroll to a man sitting on a seat similar to Hokage. The man dismissed the Anbu as he opened the scroll and read its contents.

"Damnit! My plan failed…"

The man slammed his hand on his seat as he shouted angrily.

"My purpose to create unrest among Uchihas failed, I have to think of another way.
