Naruto: Changing Fate

As time goes by, the sun gradually disappears on the horizon. As a new moon rises, the bright moonlight gently covers the earth, announcing the arrival of night.

In front of the gate of the ancestral temple of the Hyuga clan, one of the two major pupil arts families in Konoha Ninja Village, with the Byakugan that can see through all things, bright lights are being lit one by one, and the words "Yu Ling Lan" are written in black ink. The orange lampshade dispelled the incoming darkness and illuminated the way forward for the Hyuga clan members who kept coming.

At this time, the lights in the ancestor worship temple are as bright as day. Except for the clan members who are out on missions and unable to return in time, all members of the Hyuga clan will arrive one after another in accordance with the clan leader's order and no one will be absent!Looking around, one can see a dense mass of people kneeling respectfully around the altar in the center, which looks quite spectacular.

Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone present at the meeting was wearing a uniform black kimono. On their faces illuminated by bright lights, there was no trace of joy and excitement. Some were just unabashedly speaking from the heart. of intense sadness and remembrance.

They all knew in their hearts that the large-scale gathering tonight was not because the clan leader convened the traditional and grand ancestor worship ceremony that is continued every year in the Hyuga clan, just like the Chinese New Year, but to commemorate the death of a member... ...To pay tribute to the hero who protected his brother with his life.

The twin brother of the head of the Hyuga clan clan and the head of the Hyuga branch clan, Hyuga Hizashi.

It looks like the first group of people has all arrived... and the ceremony is almost ready to begin.

Looking around, he saw that the space in the ancestor worship temple was getting narrower and tighter with the addition of tribesmen. As Hinata Rizu ordered the tribesmen to start presiding over the memorial ceremony, there was no trace of sadness on his calm face as if it was just a routine... Calm. Qingming, but it seems particularly cruel and ruthless.

Only his daughter Hinata Hinata, who stood beside Hinata Hinata and had been holding his hand timidly, knew how badly her father's broad palms hidden in the wide sleeves of his robe were shaking and trembling.

Hizashi...how could this happen...

His child is only four years old and has lost his father... Neji is so pitiful...

Isn't it? Who would have thought that Hizashi, who was chatting and laughing two days ago, would die like this at such a young age...

...Now, Dad... They all said, Uncle Hizashi is dead...dead...what does that mean?

Her eyes looked around and looked at the sad expressions on the faces of the clan members, and finally settled on her cousin Hinata Neji who went from excitement to pursing her lips and shed two lines of tears and cried bitterly. Hinata Hinata felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart for no reason, and paused for a moment. Then he stretched out his other hand and quietly tugged at the corner of his father's clothes. At the same time, he asked in a low voice like a mosquito with his small mouth.

Why did Uncle Hizashi... have to die... Brother Neji cried so sadly... If Uncle Hizashi had not died, Brother Neji and everyone would not have cried...

As the heir to the future clan of the Hyuga clan, Hinata has been reclusive and has been taught soft boxing by her father since she was a child. She has not had much contact with the outside world. The three-year-old introverted and shy greenhouse flower naturally cannot understand the word death. The heavy sadness contained in it.

...Death means leaving us forever, Hinata.

After hearing his daughter's words, Rizu, who had been trying to suppress the grief in his heart, immediately recalled every detail of his brother's life. While his hands were shaking more and more violently, he tried to keep his tone as calm as possible while explaining every word.

Will never come back again...

...Never come back again?However, doesn’t Uncle Hizashi also want to guide Brother Neji in his practice?

After hearing her father's explanation, the strange pain in Hinata's heart deepened and spread. The blood on her rosy face gradually faded. While she was muttering softly to herself, for some reason she could no longer muster the courage to look at Neji.

It's obviously been agreed, why... uncle Hizashi still has to die?

…If only I could have survived that night…

Looking at the daughter beside him whose voice was getting lower and lower, Rizu shook his head helplessly. At the same time, the expression on his face trembled slightly because of his daughter's innocent words, and almost twisted and wrinkled, revealing the sadness and regret in his heart.

Hizashi, my brother... How could you be willing to leave your family and children and go before me... I should be the one lying in the coffin tonight...

After taking a deep breath to suppress and stabilize his emotions again, Hizu slowly raised his head a little. As he glanced around, his eyes gradually settled on the back of Neji who was crying on his father's coffin. His eyes were filled with guilt for this young child. and affection.

But Hizu didn't realize that because of his father's death, the young Ningji, who had some hatred towards the clan because he was forced to bear the Caged Bird Curse Seal, faced this sudden blow and the rift between him and the clan began to break. It is continuing to spread and grow.

It was because of the restrictions of the caged bird seal that my father died as the clan leader's substitute... It was all because of the clan, and my father was forced to die by the clan...

While his fists were being tightened, because Danzo secretly sent someone to pretend to be a well-wisher and tell him the truth about Hizu's death, this genius of the Hyuga clan whose spiritual talent far surpassed that of the clan, was quietly harboring hatred and hatred in his heart. The seeds of the clan.

Just wait, father, one day I will kill all the people in the Zong family and avenge you... I will definitely do it.

Neji...brother...

At the same time, looking at the back of her cousin who was in deep grief, Hinata quietly let go of her father's hand, silently and slowly turned around and left the ancestor worship temple step by step.

……

...Ah...it hurts.

The biting cold, the howling wind, and the harsh weather encountered after walking out of the temple gate caused Hinata, who was slightly dressed in thin clothes, to accidentally lose her balance and fall to the ground when walking down the stairs.Under the pain, the young lady who had been pampered since she was a child couldn't help but the tip of her nose turned red and twitched slightly, but she just wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve robe and then stood up slowly and firmly. The tears that had already spread over Hinata's ankles He swayed left and right in the deep snow and continued to move forward.

As long as the dead Uncle Hizashi is brought back...Brother Neji, everyone...will stop crying.

Although he got the meaning of the word death from Hizu, Hizu's ambiguous explanation made the young and naive Hinata mistakenly believe that Uncle Hizashi just left and went to a place far, far away where it is difficult to come back. …

As long as we get Uncle Hizashi back, Uncle Hizashi will not die!No one will cry anymore!

Hinata, who is gentle and considerate by nature, was influenced by this decision due to misunderstanding. She almost never left her father's side when she went out on weekdays. For the first time in her life, she went out without notifying her father and without escort.

Wait for me, Uncle Hizashi...

While whispering softly, Hinata wrapped some of the thin fabric around her body tightly, breathing out the white hot air through her small mouth. Facing the white snow falling all over the sky, she shivered and moved forward firmly. In the end, her petite and frail figure gradually disappeared into the deep silence. In the night...

Hinata is here to take you home...
