Naruto : Hidden Cloud

The Hyuga representative, the Third Hokage and the two elders were all standing outside the conference hall, suddenly the door to the conference room opened.

And weirdly, it was Sato and Hiashi who walked out together, talking and laughing with each other.

'What happened..?'

The Hyuga elder standing outside was confused, he was expecting to see his patriarch's dead body, so he was not sure what to think of this situation.

But the Third Hokage and the two elders on the other hand didn't look so good, they were in power for so long that they had developed an instinctive sense of danger.

They did not like Hiashi getting close to the hidden cloud, they would prefer if he was dead instead.

'He's too friendly with them, something is wrong.'

Elder Koharu thought, and as if on cue, the Third Hokage asked calmly.

"What's the matter Hiashi, is there something you need?"

Hiashi heard the Hokage and snorted, he refused to look at him and called the Hyuga elder to him instead.

"Elder Hitoshi, please come here for a minute."

Hitoshi Hyuga who was the Hyuga elder, didn't know what was going on right now, but he trusted his patriarch.

He quickly walked upto Hiashi and Hiashi whispered his plan with the hidden cloud in his ear.

"What!"

Hitoshi exclaimed, he was not sure how trustworthy the hidden cloud was, but he was an elder who was in Hiashi's political group, so he simply agreed to Hiashi's plan.

Hiashi had just given him a task, his task was to work together with the hidden cloud and send both Hinata and the newly emerging genius named Neji to hidden cloud.

He didn't know why Hiashi was sending the young leader and the genius Neji to the hidden cloud of all places, but as long as the patriarch could survive by this deal he didn't care.

"Ahem, Hiashi, can you tell us what's the matter?"

The Hokage coughed and asked Hiashi yet again, before Hiashi could ignore the Hokage a second time, Sato flipped the Hokage off himself.

"Get lost old man, Mr Hiashi is taking me to visit the Hyuga clan."

"I am a guest of great importance to them so don't disturb us, if you want to know what's going on, the conference room is right there."

Pointing towards the conference hall where Yugito and C were sitting in, Sato pulled Hiashi's hands and walked away.

The Elders and the Hokage were speechless, if someone from Konoha was talking to them like this they could use their authority and shut them up, permanently, but sadly their authority mean nothing to Sato.

He was a VVIP.

So they just had to accept this dumb loss and give a fake laugh, as if they didn't mind the insults thrown their way.

Meanwhile the Hyuga elder couldn't help but smile slightly, he did not like the Hokage and the elders after what they did to his Hyuga clan.

"I will explain everything Hokage sama, please come with me."

Hitoshi said politely but The Third Hokage had a werid feeling that Hitoshi was somehow laughing at him.

Ignoring this feeling he walked into the meeting room with the elders and almost fainted on the spot after understanding what happened.

But Sato didn't know any of that, he was currently walking with Hiashi and was looking at the Hyuga clan land.

'The Hyuga clan is so rich man, if I was born as a Hyuga in this life things would be so different.'

'Knowing the Hyuga politics, I could have controlled half of the clan by now, these guys really know how to waste their god given opportunities.'

Sato smacked his lips but didn't think too much about it as they had entered the clan land by now, and were standing before the patriarch's house.

"Hiromi, please come out."

Hiashi said in a gentle voice and soon the door opened, a beautiful woman walked out from inside, she had a worried look on her face.

'That's just an adult Hanabi, so she's the mother of Hinata, the woman who's going to die soon.'

Sato thought while looking at the gentle woman before him, she was obviously worried about her husband but tried to hide it because Sato was here.

Hiashi didn't mind and quickly walked upto his wife, he then muttered something in her ear, hearing which Hiromi's eyes trembled and her fists clenched but she didn't say anything.

She was the clan leader's wife and had a very strong control over her emotions, even if this news was about her daughter being sent to another village, she had to maintain the image of the Hyuga clan.

"Hiromi, please take care of Sato san, entertain him to the best of your abilities."

"Try to give him whatever he asks for, don't hesitate as nothing is off limits, he is our savior after all."

Hiashi seriously said this to Hiromi, and Sato just rolled his eyes after hearing this.

He knew Hiashi was saying this loudly because he wanted Sato to hear this, Hiashi was actually trying to bind Sato, the genius of the hidden cloud to the Hyuga clan.

This was an obvious way to say that he wanted Sato to take care of Hinata and Neji for him.

Sato didn't mind this either, he had manipulated this entire situation to make sure he gets Hinata and Neji, so he would anyways take care of them as they will be his future partners even if Hiashi and Hiromi didn't try to please him.

"Sato san, please go ahead with Hiromi, I will talk to Hinata and Neji about this."

Hiashi said this and quickly walked away, he wanted to make sure that Hinata and Neji understand that Sato was saving them.

He didn't know Sato's plans and thought that he was already pushing his luck when he suggested Neji to go with them.

But he couldn't help himself, he loved his brother far too much to see his only son suffer the same fate as him, he wanted Neji to go to hidden cloud as to avoid being branded with a caged bird.

Thankfully, Neji was supposed to be branded after Hinata turned 3, but the Hyuga incident happened right on her third birthday, so his branding was delayed.

This gave Hiashi a chance to save Neji from his fate, and he could also convince the elders by saying Neji is born to protect Hinata, so he has to go with her anyways.

This was a win win for Hiashi, and he wanted to make sure the kids understand this very clearly.

While Hiashi walked away, Hiromi and Sato had also walked into the house and were now alone inside a room.

Sato sat down and watched Hiromi close the door to the room

*Click*

The door closed with a click and Hiromi turned to look at Sato for a second, she looked like she had something in her mind but was hesitating.

Yet, her hesitation was only for a while, she still walked forward and stood before Sato with her head down.

"Sato san.."

Hiromi said softly, it was as if she was trying to say something but was too nervous to say it, her hands were clenching her kimono in nervousness.

Sato meanwhile watched all that and was feeling quite confused at why she went from nervous to shy to nervous again.

He wasn't able to understand what the hell was going on in her mind.
