Hi all! Well I got in a complete and utter muddle with the chapter order of Who's Got My Back so I took it all down and am now reuploading it correctly! The content is the same so just bare with me!! Hanyou-chan ~Character Information~
Name: Hyuga Rai
Age: 12-13
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Lilac but a dark purple around the centre
Ninja Rank: Jonin (Anbu)
Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan
Companions: None
... ~Start~ ... A while later you found yourself in a crowd of local and foreign ninja all heading into the stadium to watch the Chunin Examination. You wandered through the seats, looking for somewhere to sit, preferably somewhere alone, but the stands were filling up very quickly. You could see the Genin who were to take the exam gathered in the arena, one of whom you recognised immediately. You could just about hear the commentator announce the first fight 'Uzamaki Naruto. Hyuga Neji'. You turned around and, sure enough, you saw Hyuga Hinata taking a seat with a brown haired boy and his dog. Seeing no other option, you decided that, since there was a free seat next to Hinata, you would join her and her companion. ... You smirked to yourself whilst listening to the conversation of the two guys sat beside you. They obviously had no idea about the blonde haired boy down there, where they too foolish to know? You asked yourself. You had been told of the boy just after you had become a Jonin, the boy with the nine-tailed fox sealed within him. If he was ever to harness that power, the fox's chakra, then Neji certainly would not stand a chance. Below, Neji and Naruto were preparing to fight. Neji's expression was full of confidence and power whilst Naruto looked determined and angry. ... You looked carefully at the five Naruto's. Even the Byakugan could not tell which was the real one, his chakra was divided so evenly you couldn't tell which was which. ~To Be Continued~
Everything else you will learn as we go along...
You were knelt before the Sandaime (3rd) Hokage awaiting your forthcoming orders. He called you to him and you assumed that you were to be given Anbu orders due to the new compromising situation with Orochimaru's return.
"Rai," The Hokage started, "As you know, Orochimaru has something planned that would appear to involve the Chunin Examination that will be occurring next week. Therefore, there will be a number of Jonin and Anbu at the arena on the day and I am requesting your presence there."
"Of course, I will be there." You answered obediently.
"However, I will not be expecting you there as one of the Anbu. I want some Jonin there undercover and therefore I request that you join the crowds in casual dress. Then, perhaps, keep an eye on the participating Genin once the matches have started." The Hokage concluded.
"Understood." You replied, taking in fully the information given to you and departing.
"Hey Hinata, it's free here!" You heard a male voice call out behind you.
"Y-Yeah..." You then heard the familiar, timid reply.
"Hinata-sama." You called as you squeezed through people and towards the girl, grabbing the seat beside her quickly.
"Rai?" Hinata questioned, surprised to see you there, "W-What are you doing here."
"Came to see the fights, of course." You replied with a smirk, "I wanna see if Neji's worth fighting!"
"Who are you?" The boy beside Hinata asked suspiciously.
"Hyuga Rai." You replied, "Hidden Leaf Jonin."
"Wha?!" The boy exclaimed in disbelief, I mean, you were the same age.
"Who is this guy Hinata?" You asked, pointing at the boy.
"Oh, this is Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru." Hinata told you shyly, "We're on the same team."
"Oh? And your third member?" You asked curiously.
"Aburame Shino." The boy, Kiba, told you, "He's participating."
"Interesting." You mused, settling down into your seat, "Any ideas on the outcome of the first match?"
"I've got my suspicions." Kiba told you coldly. You looked towards Hinata who shook her head shyly.
"I think," You started, your eyes narrowing, "That this match will be most interesting."
Your attention was draw away from the yet unstarted fight by the boy Kiba, or rather by his dog. It seemed to be talking to him.
"What?" Kiba questioned, "What is it, Akamaru?" You watched his gaze turn to a figure at the back of the stadium, another member of the Anbu. You noticed his expression harden as if trying to work out what may have been going on in his mind.
"Looks like you have something to say." Neji taunted Naruto.
"I told you before..." Naruto replied, raising his fist at Neji, "You're definitely going down."
Beside you, Hinata tensed and you saw her looking almost thankfully at Naruto, as if he was fighting this fight for her. Then again, you had heard that Neji had almost killed Hinata in a vicious fight in the preliminaries and a certain young ninja had stood up for her but now you needed to see if this boy could really keep his word. Neji glared back at him and powered up his 'Byakugan' technique as the two waited to be told to begin.
"Now, the first fight!!" The examiner shouted, "Begin!"
"Hehe..." Neji taunted, moving into a fighting stance, "That's what makes it worth while. It will be fun to watch you fall apart when you discover reality."
"Stop all the blabbering!!" Naruto replied, "Let's fight!"
You leant forward in your seat as the two boys squared off against each other, only to catch a glimpse of someone whom you detested almost as much as Neji detested them, Hyuga Hiashi, Hinata's father, and his youngest daughter Hanabi. You glared but neither noticed you and thus your attention turned back to the fight at hand, waiting tentatively for one of the boys to make the first move. Both boys seemed to be sizing the other up and looking for the other's weaknesses or any opening point before either reacted. And the first to move was Naruto, raising his hands and making a hand signal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as four other Naruto's appeared in the arena. Your eyes widened in shock, that was a forbidden Jutsu, how could he have learnt it?
"Heh, interesting guy." The guy sat beside you commented.
"Kage Bunshin is a Jonin level Jutsu. For him to be able to use it..." His companion agreed.
"This fight could be good." The first finished, his eyes fixed upon the fight.
"But in the end, there' only one true body." Neji commented, you assumed that he had been trying to work out the same thing as you.
"Stop acting tough." One of the Naruto's demanded, four of them stand before the fifth almost guarding it.
'It would make sense for the fifth to be the real body but...' You thought to yourself, 'That would be obvious, making the real body do less work... But is that boy clever enough to think of that?'
"If you're gonna come then come." Neji ordered, waiting for the Naruto's to attack him.
The first four Naruto's charged straight for Neji, kunai's at the ready, whilst the fifth held back slightly. Neji grabbed the first two Naruto's and swung himself up over them before landing between another two Naruto's. He immediately put his body into a midair spin and lent forward, enabling his legs to kick out at the two Naruto's, knocking them backwards. He landed in a crouched position as the first two Naruto's charged at him once again, this time from behind. Neji managed to grab both of their wrists, using his Byakugan to see and estimate their movements, just before their kunai could hit him. He smashed his elbows backwards, into the chins of both Naruto's, sending them flying once again. Then, turning his attention back to the other two, he used a Jutsu to propel them backwards, away from him and destroying the final two shadow clones. Beside you, Hinata and Kiba looked shocked at how Neji knew the Naruto's movement, but you knew better, that was a technique, a Kekkei Genkai that you used as well.
"Become Hokage eh?" Neji questioned pessimistically, "It's impossible... You could say that everything is decided when a person is born. Talent is decided at your birth... I can figure it out with these eyes..."
"Why the hell do you always automatically decide things like that?!" Naruto yelled back, you could understand why he questioned it. Neji did seem to have a thing about destiny being unchanging and you could understand it, perhaps you had believed it years ago, but recently you had overcome your so called destiny and, in doing so, your attitude had changed.
"Then... are you saying that anyone can become Hokage through hard work? Only a handful of Shinobi are chosen as Hokage." Neji told Naruto, silencing him. "Look closer at reality! Those that become Hokage are born into that Destiny. You don't become it by trying. It is decided by destiny. People must live within their own, unchangeable flow... only one... the only destiny that every person shares... is death..."
