Chapter 55 - 50

A Caravan nobler than anything around it arrived in front of the gates of the Hyuga Clan, from that Hikaru and Azumi revealed themselves as they came out of the noble caravan right behind them. The Black Knight, who was riding the horse, stepped down and kneeled down in front of them.

Hikaru held her hand gently as they both went towards the front gate, which was guarded by two Hyuga shinobis.

When they came closer to the gate, one of the guards stopped them.

"Halt, what is the business of you two here?" The guard asked.

Hikaru took out a letter and gave them it, he then said, "We were invited by the heiress of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hinata. You can confirm from the handwriting in the letter she sent me."

They opened the letter, and as he said, they were indeed invited by the heir of their Hyuga Clan.

They gave him the letter back before saying, respectfully this time, "We're sorry for our rudeness. We did not realize that you and your partner are friends with Princess Hinata. Please enter."

They opened the gate for Hikaru and Azumi to enter along with the tall Knight wearing a black armor.

Now, as you can guess, Azumi was not invited by the people of Hyugas, and Hinata definitely did not invite her. Hikaru manipulated the letter through illusion and made it look like that Azumi was indeed invited to the party. A bit shameless of him but he wants Azumi to experience something like this. Though, he plans to throw a big party at her 13th birthday, October 10.

One of the guards escorted them towards the mansion of the Hyuga Clan, where the event will start. Azumi couldn't help but have stars on her eyes when she saw the Hyuuga Compound. It was large, a hundred times larger than the house they're currently occupying.

Seeing her childish side, Hikaru simply smiled. The Black Knight followed behind them, while it was on guard for any surprise attack. It couldn't be blamed though, because it was programmed by the system this way. Its program is just to protect Hikaru, that's it.

When they reached the compound, there were already many people there from various clans. He could even see the Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Kiba, Shino, Sasuke, and Hinata gathered together in one huge round table, It seems like the party had not yet started because they were still not eating.

"Oi, everyone!" Azumi shouted happily.

She's quite close to them, considering they all graduated from the same batch. But she doesn't like Ino that much, for reasons that you should already know.

They turned their heads towards the approaching Azumi.

"Oh, hello Azumi. Surprise to see you here." Shikamaru said lazily.

As Azumi and Hikaru neared their table, Hinata was quite confused and she mused something on her seat, 'Azumi? Why is she here? I don't remember inviting her. Except because of assassinating the son of the Fire Daimyo, I also wanted Hikaru-kun for myself, at least just once. Not just because of my feelings for him, but for political reasons too. My father said that just a single word from him can change the mind of the Hokage. If he has that kind of power in Konoha, and considering his strength, he's the only one perfect enough to be my spouse. If only if it weren't for Azumi, he would've been mine by now.'

Truthfully, she's quite mad at Azumi for just having Hikaru all for herself. Since three years ago, she's changed. She became more confident, more talented, and she no longer stutters when she speaks, unlike the time when she would blush crazily at the sight of "Naruto".

She came to a conclusion that Hikaru probably invited her on his own, in short, a gate crash. But she and her clan would probably not be able to do anything if they pissed off Hikaru, it would only mean disaster for them. Sure, since the massacre of the Uchiha Clan, they've been saying that they were the strongest clan in Konoha. In truth, it was only because of their bloodline, the Byakugan, that they were still here.

As she stared at Hikaru, he suddenly winked at her charmingly, which caused her to blush slightly. Knowing that their plan is tonight, she decided to just keep Azumi here. It wouldn't hurt.

"Sasuke, how is your training with Kakashi?" Hikaru asked as sips from a cup full of water.

"It was good, he's teaching me a new jutsu soon. He said that it was an A-Rank one." Sasuke replied.

"So, he's teaching you his Chidori, huh?" Hikaru said.

"Chidori?" Sasuke tilted his head in confusion.

"That's a jutsu he created himself along with his best friend, Uchiha Obito." Hikaru said, deciding to reveal Obito to Sasuke.

Hearing his family name, Sasuke's interest peaked.

"Can you tell me more about this Obito?" Sasuke requested.

Hearing that name, Shikamaru perked up.

"Obito? As in Uchiha Obito? I heard that he was the one who gave Kakashi-sensei the Sharingan in his left eye. He was a war hero that even the Uchiha praised. It was sad that he died at an early age, he would've been a very powerful shinobi with his Sharingan." Shikamaru explained, though lazily.

Sasuke was now really interested, he would have to ask Kakashi about this later.

As they were talking to each other, a tall young man with short black hair and deep yellow eyes suddenly appeared near them. He wore a traditional haori for events like this and two bodyguards were behind him. They seem to be shinobis.

As he walked near them, he noticed Hinata seating among them.

"Oh, Hinata my dear, what are you doing here with these peasants? Let us go to a more dignified seat, as your fiance, this is more suitable for the both of us." He said a disgusted face as he looked around the rest of them, and he extended his hand towards Hinata.

Seeing this, Hinata was unsure. If she was to take that hand, it would only mean that she had already accepted him as her fiance, making even more delusions to appear inside his head. If she doesn't take that hand, he will probably cause a scene.

As she thought about it, Hikaru, who sat near her along with Azumi, simply slapped his hand away, and she noticed that something cracked. Then, something amazing happened. The bones in his arm suddenly broke into a thousand pieces when Hikaru slapped his hand away.

The man was shocked for a moment before a scream full of pain sounded throughout the entire party hall.

"AAAHH! MY ARM, MY ARM!" He shouted as he held his broken arm with his other arm.

""Daiki-sama!"" Both of his bodyguards rushed towards him.

"Shut up, sc.u.m." It was silent but it was heard throughout the whole party place. Hikaru suddenly stood up, went near Daiki, before he kicked him upwards.

The crying man shot up towards the roof, breaking it, when Hikaru kicked him upwards. In the hole Hikaru made when he kicked him, you can see Daiki going over a hundred feet. He doesn't even know if he'll survive that once he lands on the ground, since he was nothing but a worthless mortal.

The bodyguards glared at Hikaru for a moment before rushing towards that hole to save their young master.

Meanwhile, everyone in the event was mouth agape as they stared at Hikaru. No one, they mean, no one ever had the courage to do that to a royalty. He was one of the sons of the Fire Daimyo for christ sake.

Hikaru dusted off his hands before sitting back down and continued drinking the cup of water in front of him, while Hinata and the others were speechless. To openly do that in front of everyone…

"Now, let's continue the party, shall we?" Hikaru said.

A few moments later, Hinata's father, the head of Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi. When he saw the human shaped hole on his roof, he was furious. And when the guests saw that, they all pointed at Hikaru, who was simply sipping from his cup of water.

Hiashi walked near Hikaru with extreme rage can be seen on his face.

"What did you do, brat!?" Hiashi said coldly.

Hikaru simply looked at him and said, "A worthless rat came, so I kicked it away. Don't worry, you're safe now."

"Rat?"

Hinata gestured at Hiashi and whispered something to his ear. The more he heard about it, the more black lines appeared on his face. When she was finished, his face was as black as his hair.

"So, let me get this straight. You broke the arm of Hideyoshi Daiki, kicked him through MY roof and you're calmly sitting here while drinking whatever the hell that is?" Hiashi said as his voice was filled with rage.

"Yes." Hikaru simply replied.

"You son of a…"

"Wait, father no." Hinata whispered something to his ear again, and this time, he knew who he was. The prodigy that even the Sandaime respects, Hikaru Hiroaki.

Hearing that, Hiashi just turned around and walked away without speaking anything else. Even though he was quite angry at Hikaru, he was also grateful towards him. That spoiled rotten son of a bitch has been trying to get his daughter's hand, which pissed him off. Even though he was still not her fiance, he kept saying that he was her fiance.

Seeing the head of the Hyuga Clan walking away, all of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though all of them were shocked of what happened, Azumi simply hugged Hikaru's arm without a care for the world.

Suddenly, something came to Hikaru's head. He remembered the letter he got from the Werewolf Yokai Lord, Shiro, a month ago. He hasn't opened it since, because he was busy at something at that time. He decided to open it after this event, it should be something good, since it came from one of the Yokai Lords.
