"Uh.. Umm.." Hiashi wanted to say the names of his ancestors but none came up with the same caliber as Madara or Hashirama. Actually, none even were on the level of Sarutobi Hiruzen, forget about the greats of Hashirama and Madara.
"How do you know about Madara?" Hiashi realized that the name Madara was mentioned as almost all of his story had been wiped out from the records so how could this guy know.
"Does it matter how I know. That huge statue in the Valley of the End is enough. But you didn't answer my question." Aoto said. Hiashi went silent. He was right. It was not about the Uchiha at all, it was about how the Hyuga had been a complete failure.
"If we become too powerful we will be wiped out just like that clan." Hiashi mumbled under his breath but Aoto heard it perfectly.
"Yes and that is also true. But that doesn't give you the right to cut off the wings of someone who wants to fly. You think your clan or any other clan will go on for eternity? None of us are eternal and nor your clan. One day it will all become dust so the best you can do is give a level of freedom to the people who support but instead you ostracize them."Aoto said.
"But if we grow more, Konoha will come for us just like they went for.." Hiashi stopped and looked at Hinata who was listening to them attentively.
"Hinata can you go and read in the library? I know you don't like hurting people but you have seen Naruto using special techniques. It is all written in the books here and you can learn them." Aoto said. Hinata knew that this was a conversation she wasn't allowed to listen but she was also afraid that Aoto would do something bad to his father. Aoto could see her concerns and thus said.
"Hinata, I know that I have forcefully kidnapped your dad, but what I am doing right now is something you would do it anyways in the future. Don't believe your father, you would be an excellent shinobi when the time comes. You don't hurt people who are close to you and that is how it should be. I am sure that when the time comes and someone hurts someone close to you, you would act just as ferocious like everyone else. Believe in yourself and carry on your hard work. You don't need to prove to others. You need to prove yourself that you worked hard."
This made both Hiashi and Hinata eyes wide open. Hinata actually blushed a bit when she heard it and Hiashi was embarrassed about how Aoto, someone who was younger to him, just made him look like a villain. Did his daughter really have the fortitude? Is his words true?
Hinata contemplated a bit and walked away, giving both Aoto and Hiashi space.
"So you think your situation like the Uchiha?" Aoto said. Hiashi just nodded and by now he wasn't surprised that Aoto knew so much.
"You people just fear the strong and nothing more. You all are idiots and so was the second hokage and the current third hokage." Aoto said. Hiashi gulped as only now he understood who callous and courageous Aoto was for calling out second and third hokage as stupid.
"But they are responsible for the Kyubi attack or at least someone was responsible for that attack. I was there when the attack started and I saw the sharingan control on the Kyuubi." Hiashi said as he validated why they were right to fear the Uchiha.
"Yes.. So one person was responsible for the attack. Does it mean everyone in the clan should be persecuted. Suppose your brother becomes rogue, so should I kill your whole clan?" Aoto asked. This made Hiashi shut up because just like last time he didn't have answer to it.
"Stop justifying your actions just based on the Kyuubi attack. I lost my parents in that attack but I didn't cry victim and justify my evil actions based on that. You people are just hateful and have no compassion." Aoto said and this time it was a sharp tone. Hiashi hung his head in shame.
Aoto was right. He did lose his parents but he still adopted Naruto and from the looks of it he was treated quite well.
"Then what do you want from me?" Hiashi asked.
"Nothing, be here for sometime until I see the greenlight. You have books here, read them and maybe learn. The books here will make your realize how little you know of the world. Maybe that will help you change." Aoto said as he got up and walked away.
He called Hinata and asked her to be with her father and also told her that she needed to be careful now and she should always act as if Hizashi was her father. Even Neji mustn't know of what was going on.
Hinata nodded as she also got the hint. Her father also explained her the situation and said she could visit him. This made Hianta happy and they talked a lot. Up until midnight when she slept.
"You love your daughter, don't you?" A voice said when Hiashi was using his robe to cover Hinata so that she didn't feel cold. Hiashi turned around and saw a young girl with metallic blue eyes and black hair looking at the duo with curiosity.
"You are?"
"I am Chomei.. And just like you I have been trapped here. Longer than you actually." The girl said. Hiashi was trying hard to remember who this girl was in Konoha but he couldn't remember the face. That was acceptable as Konoha was huge and it was impossible to know everyone.
"Umm.. I am sorry.. I guess we both are on the same now." Hiashi said.
"No we are not the same. I am stronger than you. But I do want to leave this place and experience freedom if I can." Chomei replied as she had a gleam in her eyes.
