The Hyuuga affair was coming up soon there isn't much time to prepare.
I am currently training in my class with other Hyuuga clan kids. They all hate me. Why? Because I'm three and they're eight. They don't like me in this class and the don't go easy on me. Meanies. The training hurts like crazy and I really hate doing it but whatever I need to do to survive this world I will do. My birthday is coming up I don't know if I am ready for this. I wish I could tell my father but that would be hard without explaining everything and if I do that will probably get me thrown in a mental asylum.
"Toshiro-sama are you alright." My Sensei said as he leaned over to look at me.
I realized I was flat on my back I must have zoned out again. Stupid Hyuuga affair making me loose focus. When I got up I realized I lost again. The arrogant eight year old looked at me with his stupid face.
"I guess you're not a prodigy after all but you really had no chance against me." The idiot with a stupid face said looking at me condescendingly.
So immature. I thought as I stood up
I have bigger things to worry about any way. Suddenly I felt a pain in my right cheek and I fell flat on my bottom again. The idiot punched me!
"Haru stop." The Sensei said.
Oh so that's the idiots name.
"Apologize to Toshiro-sama." The Sensei said.
"The only way I'll apologize is if he makes me." The arrogant Haru said.
Idiot.
I looked over and saw my father and Hizashi were watching. Well I wouldn't want to make a fool of myself so I got up to defend my pride.
"Ok. Let's see what you are made of." I said releasing a little KI to scare him.

"What did I tell you about beating up other kids." My caretaker(Mira) said as she treated my injuries.
"Well he started it, I was just following through." I said with a pout hoping my natural cuteness swayed her.
"That's no excuse for breaking the kids arm and scaring him have to death." Mira said.
It's not like he didn't deserve it.
"Hey Shiro," I herd some one yell from the hallway and run into the infirmary.
"Neji." I cheered throwing my hands in the air. Finally some one to save me from my demon of a caretaker. Mira scowled at being interrupted.
"I saw that fight you were so cool." Neji said excitedly.
"See Mira at least someone appreciates hard work." I said pointing at Neji to prove my point.
Neji is my favorite cousin because he is the only one close to my age that I can have a semi-intelligent conversation with. I mean I have seventeen years of maturity but Neji is a normal kid. It doesn't explain how he is so smart.
"Mira can we go outside please." Neji said and gave her puppy dog eyes.
Mira's eyes immediately softened and she allowed a to leave. When we were finally out of ear shot I asked Neji "How do you do that. I can't get Mira to do anything for me."
Neji struck a thinking pose "Maybe it is because I am cuter than you." He said smugly
"Oh shut up." I said as I lightly punched his shoulder.

I hate my birthday I always have to dress up in stiff clothing and everyone makes a big deal about it. I thought as I finished putting on my clothes for the party. I looked in the mirror I have my mom's black hair with a tint of blue I also have her pale complexion and small frame. People say I look more like my mom that my dad. I guess that's true.
We normally have a celebration all throughout the day the morning celebration was for breakfast mostly. Some other clan heads brought over gifts as well. The morning was also for socializing between adults. The kids normally play with each other.
Right now is the evening part of my birthday. I walked into the Hyuuga clan main square for the celebration and saw most of the clan was already there. My cheeks flared up in embarrassment as I realized everyone was staring at me. I stole a glance at my father he was as emotionless as ever. No surprise there. I looked around to see if I could find Neji.
Through out the whole party I received different variations of 'congratulations' and 'happy birthday'. Each complement made me more nervous for the night to come.

I felt my heart thundering in my ears as I lay in my bed each sound scaring the daylights out of me.
I glanced at the clock in my room it read 9:34. It is going to be a long night.
I looked at the clock again 10:46.
Ahhhhhh. I mentally screamed. I was getting tiered I had a four year old body that needed sleep. Every once and a while I would jerk my self awake.
I'm not allowed to fall asleep.

I opened my eyes only to find that I was no longer in my room I was moving.
Then I realized that my hands were tied behind my back.
Oh shit. I got captured by Kumo nin. Shit. Shit. Shit. SHIT.
Ok, ok calm down think. Deep breathes.
After I calmed down I could finally think. Lucky I planed for this. I reached into my pajamas slowly as to not draw attention to myself. I grabbed a kuni from my pajama bottoms and slowly sawed away at the rope. I then proceded to to stab the kuni into the Kumo nin's leg.
Thunk
He dropped me and yanked the kuni out of his leg. I scrambled up to my feet and slid into a gentle fist stance. The other Kumo nin turned around and charged at me weapons in hand. I activated my byakugan and charged at him as well.
The fight was a blur my instincts taking over. I gave the fight everything I could and only focused on surviving the details of the plan leaving my mind.
When I came back to reality I saw that I was covered in blood with a kuni in hand. Two dead Kumo nin lay beside me in a bloody heap of skin and bones.
I gazed at the bodies, I killed them.
My father ran up to with the Sandamie hokage, and several ANBU in tow. He came up and gave me a hug as if he let go I would disappear. My byakugan deactivated.
I couldn't do it I couldn't save Hizashi.
Kumo got off free and Hizashi was killed. Neji has become distant and has gotten the caged bird seal. He doesn't blame me for his fathers death. But it is my fault. I was the one that killed the Kumo nin and now the main and branch family are farther apart.
