"It"s nice to meet you again so soon, Hyuga HinatSama." Jun replied as he smiled at the nervous girl in front of him.

"Umm... H...h.e.l.lo. Why are we? We here?" Hinata said. Obviously she had been put under the sleeping drug before kidnapping her. If not for the indication of his powers, he would have not noticed. For the first time he felt that, power without a goal was useless. From whom would he use his powers, he didn"t have the true answer to the question yet. But for now he had to calm the panicking Hinata.

"You were kidnapped by this guy Hinatsan," said Jun, kicking the guy wrapped up in the vines, currently unconscious "Probably they wanted the Byakugan, but well you are safe now. If I am right, your father would be arriving soon enough. So we will be waiting for him for now."

"Um...m, Kigen san -" Hinata started to say when Jun interrupted.

"Please, Jun is fine." Jun corrected with a smile.

"Umm, then me ... Too... Hinata... Please" Hinata replied shyly. Jun smiled and gestured her to continue what she was saying earlier. "Jun-san, how are you here?"

"Isn"t that obvious, I came to save you. I saw someone leaving the Hyuga compound with someone slung on their back in a sack. I was suspicious and followed him. When I saw that he was running in the direction of Konoha borders with urgency, I could not hold back and s.n.a.t.c.hed you back."

"Umm, no ... but... You fought a Full-grown man, a Shin.o.bi at that? Jun-san is really strong!" Hinata exclaimed, surprised.

"Yeah he is isn"t he? I never thought there would be someone as strong as him among the kids of our village. Just genius is not enough of a description for him." A voice sounded from behind them. Jun and Hinata turned around to see A man in white clothes smiling at him and Hinata. Hinata stood in a hurry seeing him and Jun relaxed, because now his job was over. Hiashi Hyuga had arrived.

"Father-" Hinata mumbled as she slowly walked towards him. Hiashi didn"t reply, but patted her head before turning to Jun.

"Jun Kigen san, you have done an enormous service to the Hyuga clan. Hinata is really precious to me and to Hyuga clan. We are really grateful to you, and you will forever be welcome as a guest of our clan. But how did you handle this person and why is he still alive after daring to capture my daughter?" Hiashi asked, a bit of steel creeping into his voice.

"Hiashi sama, his life belongs to the village now, just as Hyuga clan belongs to this village. The entire village is my family, even if it was not Hinata and someone else, I would still have done as I did now. Therefore please, don"t do something rash that would make the village face danger. As you know, for better or worse, we have signed a treaty with the k.u.mogakure. Let"s take him to the Hokage, Let him handle this. After declaring their crime, we can officially ask for compensation. At that time if you would like to take this one"s life in compensation, no one would be able to stop you." Jun explained patiently, trying to a.s.suage Hiashi Hyuga"s anger.


"… Truly, age doesn"t measure wisdom at times. Let"s do that, I will carry this man. Can I trouble you to carry Hinata and come with me?" Hiashi requested.

"No problem. Hinata san, if you please would get on my back, so that we can get going?" Jun asked Hinata, while getting down on one knee to make her easier to climb.

"Um. Ok..." Hinata murmured as she climbed onto his back with a red face, enabling him to piggyback her. Jun carried her and followed Hiashi, who jumped up to the trees carrying the bound man. Jun could see that Hiashi only wanted Hinata away from the man in cape he woke up, that"s why he asked Jun to carry her instead of himself. Otherwise a well-known Shin.o.bi like him, and a clan head to boot, not able to carry a bound person and a little girl together was surely a joke.

It didn"t take long for them to reach Konoha. An ANBU met them just as they crossed the gate of Konoha.

"Hyuga Sama, Hokage Sama requests your presence in the Hokage mansion." ANBU said.

"Very well, I was on the way anyway. Lead on, and Jun Kigen shall follow us too since he was an instrumental part in what I have to talk to Hokage about." Hiashi clarified.

ANBU didn"t comment anything and just nodded. They reached Hokage mansion in a while, after which the ANBU disappeared. Hiashi took the bound man and entered the office of the Hokage where he was waiting, smoking a pipe. He raised an eyebrow when Jun entered with Hinata on his back but didn"t say much. Jun crouched on one leg and allowed Hinata to get on her feet, after which they both stood beside Hiashi. The Third Hokage let out a bit of smoke from his mouth before speaking.

"A lot of commotion so late at night eh, Hyuga san. So, what has led you to roam around with little Jun, with your lovely daughter together no less. And I a.s.sume this tied up person is involved in your explanation too? Let"s hear it then."

"Around half an hour past midnight, I was informed that Hinata had disappeared from her room in our mansion. From the signs and traces of chakra in her room I determined that something wasn"t right and I traced the signs to their source as soon as possible , while leaving Hizashi at home to control the news and not let anyone panic. I followed the signs to the leaf forests, at which point I increased my pace since I was sure that she had been kidnapped. But soon I was able to see her chakra moving with another one, while two more sources of chakra following them one after the other, one of which looked similar to the one that was with my daughter. I rushed in that direction, but soon I sensed conflict happening between the two that were following, after which I saw the one who had similar chakra as the one with my daughter moving towards her after disabling the other guy who was following. Then by the time I arrived, Hinata"s chakra had become more active and the one who was initially with my daughter faded away and the guy who had similar chakra as him, got little boost in his chakra. Then I realized that Hinata"s savior had used some kind of clone to save her while stalking the one who had kidnapped her, and had disabled him and by the time I arrived at the scene, Hinata and Jun had started talking about it all, and from their talks I realized that Jun was the one responsible for saving her. After that, on his insistence we brought this guy to you and Hinata and Jun as witnesses to his crime." Hiashi explained everything to The Third.

"Hmm, how would you answer to this Jun? Why you were at the scene and what did you see? Also how did you defeat him? The last one is more of my curiosity than a necessity?" The Third inquired.

"Ever since I had an awakening of my bloodline powers, I have never been able to sleep. The closest I have come to sleep is in deep meditation amongst nature, where I connect to the plants and am in a semi awake state. After Hinata san"s party, I had informed Yoshino san that I wanted to stay in meditation in the forest a bit, and she didn"t object since I had done it a lot before. Then I went to the nearest stretch of forest I could find after coming out of Hyuga compound and went to meditate there. Around midnight I could suddenly sense four chakra signatures rushing out from the Hyuga compound. I was startled since two of them entered the forest at high speeds. I kept an eye on it and realized after a while that one of the k.u.mo delegates I had seen at the party was carrying someone in a sack on his back. I became sure then that this was a kidnapping of someone belonging to the Hyuga clan and decided to follow him. When he reached the Konoha borders, he seemed to relax a bit, at which point I created and ordered my clone to rescue the kidnapped person while I keep an eye on the k.u.mo shin.o.bi. Taking advantage of the fact that he had relaxed his guard on reaching the border, my clone easily rescued the kidnapped one and escaped, while I stayed hidden and stalked the enemy. He was enraged and decided to follow my clone which he thought was me since he attacked with few weapons but it did not disperse." At this point Hokage and Hiashi Stiffened a bit but didn"t interrupt him so he continued "After that he got impatient and decided to attack with a Ninjutsu, at which point I sneaked attacked him with a few of my own jutsus and captured him. Then I awoke Hinata san and told her about the situation and asked her to wait with me for the arrival of his father since Hiashi Sama was sure to track her down. After that point it"s as Hiashi Sama narrated."

Hiashi and the Third stayed silent, processing all Jun had told and the fact that one of the children of their village , one who was less than three years old, had done a feat equaling one of their experienced Chunin.
