Rise of the Hyuga Pt.I

"Yoshi!" I shout as I smack the lazy lug in the face, "Wake up!"

"Mmmm," he groans, "Hinata chan! Leave me alone... I'm still tired."

"Errr. Wake up, dammit!"

Yoshi sprang from his mat. "Do you want to die?" I ask him. "The leaf will kill us. The shit I was talking, I can't back it up. Not yet."

"But you still have to harvest...Oh." Yoshi paused as his eyes fell to a dissected Danzo, strung up in the cave. He then looked at the artistly oriented arm and head. Both of which were free of Sharingan.

I was sending a message that I was going to be one dangerous bitch. The leaf village has a rough understanding of my plan. That's more than enough to induce fear. And wants I free my grandfather, the Hyuga Clan will burn, starting with my traitorous fucking father.

"To the Land of Jungle. A merchant there owes us a lot, and believe it or not, I have a business there." I told him. "Let's go."

Yoshi and I ran our asses off for days. I trusted my people. If the Leaf ever shows up in the land of Jungle, there is only one person who could have betrayed me. But the Land of Jungle would be the last place they would look for me.

After arriving in the land of Jungle, I went back to the Port town and found Ganzo's house, the merchant I killed during my first mission. The client stayed true to his word as Ganzo's place was untouched. Everything that Ganzo had is truly mine now.

"Ahh, Lady Hyuga." a man called out. I look to my left and see the traveling merchant that once smuggled my team out of the land of Jungle.

"Mr. Yakuto. It's good to see you again."

"I received word that you may arrive. The house is prepared. If you need anything, my Caravan is always open to you."

"Ganzo must have been a real son of a bitch."

Mr. Yakuto frowned at me. "The worst," he said.

I gave him a simple nod, and he returned with a bow.

As Yoshi and I got settled in, I told him about everything, except about Hiruko.

"So all of this stuff that you stole from the village, who are you going to sell it to?" he asked.

"Are you stupid? No one. What I stole is power. If I sell my power, then I grow weaker. Does that make sense?"

Yoshi nods.

"Good. First thing first, we need to regrow Ganzo's business. But we won't sell food. We'll sell the most sought-after product. People, drugs, and death."

"P-people?" Yoshi stammered.

"Yes. The majority of the world isn't shinobi. In truth, we are criminals. We monopolize assassination and espionage, but the rest of the criminal market is run by civilians." I explained, " Mr.Yakuto will handle transport. I'll find employees to harvest the product. All we have to do is make the deals and collect money. Can you handle that?"

"Of course," Yoshi replied.

"I knew you could. That's why I chose you above them all. You're the best man in my life, Yoshi." I spoke with soft eyes and an even softer voice. " Go ahead and dye your hair, love. When your finished, head to the capital to start our business."

"Our business?" he asked.

The answer is, hell no, but I said, " Yes. We're life partners now. I can't see myself surviving without you."

"I swear, I won't let you down, Hinata-chan."

I cross the distance and cease his lips, passionately giving him the kiss of his life. I really put a lot of effort into it. I even allowed my mind to be feverish. You see, Uzumaki are tricky. You never know which ones can sense emotion. Passion, lust, and love. Virtually indistinguishable.

When we parted, Yoshi licked his lips. He took a moment to catch his breath then rushed off.

A few hours later, Yoshi left with pitch-black hair and Mr.Yakuto.

While he was gone, I sorted out all of my shit and rethought my schemes.

I first took out the Otsu scroll, the scroll of sealing, the Hearts of Tobirama Senju and Danzo, and Hashirama's corpse. I then take out a jar of harvested Sharingan, Hiruko's body parts, and his two sacrifices. Looking at everything, I knew I needed a lab. I also know that if the leaf really wanted to, they would break Kurenai for the information she had about me, leading them here.

Suddenly, my plan hinged on Orochimaru. Leaving my new home, I went to Mr.Yakuto's caravan and put out a message for Kabuto. As I waited, I read up on the research conducted by Hiruko and practiced the final forms of the Second Hokage's Kenjutsu technique. The forms were brutal, and none of it made sense to me.

I saw the forms and performed them, but the movements were choppy and unoriented even when combined with the flying thunder god. I was missing something. I just didn't know what. But even then, I practiced diligently in the hope of gaining a bit of clarity.

A few days passed. I was sitting in the main room looking over the surgical procedures of Hiruko's Chimera Technique.

The Chimera Technique was originally meant to combine separate living bodies of organisms into one combined organism bearing the original characteristics of the organisms, and therefore create a synthetic body. After seeing Kakashi bearing the Sharingan, Hiruko uses the technique to integrate the bodies of others with his own, allowing him to obtain any kekkei Genkai they possess, as well as other special physical traits, and absorb their chakra. The technique is also used by Hiruko and his followers to create formidable creatures which bear the traits of multiple animals.

The maximum number of kekkei Genkai that the Chimera Technique can absorb alone is four, which is an incomplete absorption and requires certain conditions to acquire the fifth and fully absorb the previous four. These are the three conditions: "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human." These correspond with the solar eclipse, Mount Shumisen, and the five kekkei Genkai-bearing human sacrifices, respectively. More kekkei Genkai can likely be absorbed after achieving the conditions listed above.

Hiruko's body is recorded to exude a large mass of deep blue, viscous fluid that covers a large area when assimilating victims. While assimilating victims, he can use the fluid to attack enemies with gelatinous, reforming (and rebounding) extensions. Once the five bodies have been completely absorbed, the person will have immortality and mastery over the five elements. But I'm not after immortality.

Additionally, the technique requires body modification because the body requires space for the user to assimilate targets, as seen by the large scars and staples in Hiruko's chest and sides. It leaves his body rather emaciated, with a larger, unhinged jaw and shriveled teeth. The hollowed body space can also be a potential weak spot until it is filled by the assimilated victim. This is where the surgery comes in.

In the anime, Orochimaru could absorb people completely. The only reason for the surgery is to create space. But if Orochimaru could teach me how he absorbs people, I might be able to find a way to forgo the surgery. Hell, I might be able to find a way to completely assimilate with my sacrifices without the crazy celestial requirements.

"Kabuto..." I sang, "Would you like me to strip for you, or do you just like watching me read?"

Kabuto chuckles as he walks out of the shadows. "You looked so focused. I didn't want to disturb you."

"Ahh, so we're friends now? Your tone is...very carefree."

"Lord Orochimaru heard about early termination. He only wished you would have killed the Sannin. But he did hear about your...art display featuring the late Danzo. He was impressed."

"It was an expression of self. I don't need his approval to feel proud of my work."

"Of course. So, why have you summoned me?" Kabuto asked.

"Summoned is a very uncouth word. I request your presence because I need a lab. Here in the land of Jungle. I also wanted Orochimaru's absorption jutsu, and I need you to teach me Medical Ninjutsu."

Kabuto burst into laughter. "Why the hell would we give you all of that?"

"Because I need it. And you can consider me an ally when the Akatsuki attacks. I also know Orochimaru needs Sasuke a lot more than the Leaf village realizes it and soon. I can help you get him when the time comes." I explained.

"Hmmm, and there's that incredible wealth of information we heard so much about. Tell me, how do you know so much?" Kabuto asked.

"I speak to the Shinigami of the Uzumaki clan, and he also told me how to heal Orochimaru's arms." I lied.

" I can give you the lab. I can teach you. But you will be my ally and not Orochimaru's. But you will never speak of the Shinigami again." Said Kabuto.

"Deal. But I know you aren't disloyal. So why the secret?" I ask.

"Recent events have motivated my Lord. Your knowledge will give him an easy way out when we're so close to success."

I smile at Kabuto. "You're a wonderful right-hand man. I look forward to the partnership."

"Prove yourself worthy, and the absorption jutsu is yours." Kabuto then wrote the location of a lab on Hiruko's lab notes. "I'll be back weakly to help you with medical ninjutsu."

I wasted no time and immediately relocated to the abandoned lab in the jungle. Unsealing Hiruko's lab, I spent the time organizing the now cluttered lab. I properly stored my specimens and began experiments with the Chimera Technique. The jungle was ideal as I had no shortage of test subjects.

After a week of experiments, Yoshi returned with a deal from the capital, supply brothels and noble houses. On my shoulder was an eagle winged monkey. Together we sat at the end of a table with Mr. Yakuto, Yoshi, and a woman named Rika.

"I've never seen that animal before," said Mr.Yakuto.

"Yes. I recently discovered it in the jungle. His name is Tanto. So, Ms. Rika, you wish to supply people from the land of claws and honey."

"Yes," she replied.

"That wasn't a question. I'm trying to figure how you will manage to keep up your side of the deal."

"We have no shinobi villages. Both lands are rich with trade, and people come and go. If you supply transport, I can get young--"

"No... We don't do young." My chakra erupted and bombarded the ambitious woman, "Don't let my appearance fool you. I'm wise beyond my years, and I'm a self-proclaimed whore because I'm shameless and openly enjoy pleasure in its many forms. That's my choice. I will not strip that away from the young. Let's say...seventeen and up."

"Yes, Ma'am," Rika replied.

"Good. Manage it well, and you'll be richer. Fail, and I will cut my losses. Mr.Yakuto. You run a caravan, so I will leave the transport planning to you. And you don't have to worry about paying for protection from now on. Yoshi, my love. Find some rouges." I then rise from my seat and toss a letter to Mr.Yakuto.

"Tenten of the Hidden Leaf," I tell him before leaving. "I also need five women and five men by tomorrow evening."

"I'll have both finished promptly." Mr. Yakuto replied. "But the people will cost."

"Consider it done. I'll pay you upon delivery."

I could sense Yakuto's smile as he said, " Thank you, Lady Hyuga."

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

That night, Yakuto brought my order ahead of schedule. After paying him, I took the people to the lab and began my first human trials as Kabuto appeared nonchalantly.

He watched as a glob of goo fused to people together. When the energy settles, the two-headed, three-armed abomination cried in agony while Kabuto and I laughed. I then fell silent as I realized my heart was fluttering.

I took a deep breath. I took one step. And in a flash, my experiment was dead, and Kabuto was laughing again as he said, "You failed miserably. But you'll figure out your mistake once you're properly educated."

Honestly, Kabuto was never as sexy as he was right now. Frankly, If I was being logical, Kabuto is my ideal match in this world. At least before he becomes snake boy. Pleasure aside, Kabuto sat me down, and the first advanced Medical ninjutsu lesson began.

~~~~~~~

3 weeks later.

"Easy, Hinata. You almost have it," Kabuto whispered in my ear as I regrew the organ of a flying monkey.

I moaned slightly then looked over my shoulder. "Don't tease me. I'm trying to focus, Kabuto."

"You do your best work when you're excited."

I felt his breath glide across my neck, and I forced my smile down as I completed my task.

"See. I told you so." Kabuto sang as he back away.

I lightly bit down on my bottom lip as I took the time to relax. "You're a good teacher." I finally speak.

"Thank you," he replied. "I hear the Lord of Claw has a new wife, and she's pregnant."

"Ohh." I feigned ignorance, "How'd they meet?"

"The nobles have no Idea. She just appeared. Look, Lord Orochimaru and I will need a new hideout soon. Jiraya knows all of our hideouts, and what we're planning will force him to use that knowledge. He needs to know if you can supply people in the land of Savanna,"

"Don't you already have a contact for that?" I asked.

"Savanna east of the Land of Wind. Our contact is on bad terms with Sand Village." Kabuto explained.

"Consider it down. But I need a poppy field." I tell him.

"Consider it done," he replied. "Practice the next scroll, and I'll be back next week."

"See you around, Kabuto."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Hinata-chan!" Yoshi shouted as he ran into the lab. "I did it!"

"Did what?" I asked.

Yoshi held up his hand, and a seal was tattooed onto him.

"What the hell is that?" I ask.

"Uzumaki Forbidden Fuinjutsu. And my secret weapon." He cackled.

I roll my eyes. "Congratulations. On a serious note, I need you to head to the Land of Savanna. Set up a new trafficking ring. And I need farmers."

"Time limit?"

"Yesterday." I replied with urgency. "kill who you have to."

"I'll take care of it." Yoshi bowed then vanished.

After Yoshi left, Yan Shi from the land of Night appeared. He was a rogue ninja that fled his desolate land with his family in search of better opportunities. Now he's my chief hound as long as I pay him well and keep his family fed.

Yan Shi has delicate features and purple hair the falls just beneath his shoulder blades. He actually reminds me a bit of Haku.

"Did our people find the Yuki Clan members?" I asked.

"In the land of waves as expected." Yan Shi replied. "It might take a lot to convenience them, but we made your appreciation of their kekkei Genkai known."

"Hand the Bloodline project over Bato. You and your team are coming with me to the Land of Fire." I ordered.

"How prepared should we be?" he asked.

"Civil war in the Hyuga Clan and a fight against the Hidden leaf if we want to make it out."

"Hmm." Yan Shi replied.

"Speak your mind," I tell him.

"I think we should wait for my friend."

"The silver-haired, self-proclaimed Uzumaki?" I asked.

"And his family. He was born in Uzushigakure. And I trust him with my life." Said Yan Shi.

"Where is he now?"

"Land of Honey the last time we spoke."

I give him a nod and think of a spur-of-the-moment plan. "Summon your eagle and take me to him. "
