Thread: Peace Never Lasts Forever [An AU Naruto RP] (Yuna & Malin's 1x1)

Neji Hyuuga Hissori Hyuuga Everyone tended to remember the day that Konoha exploded. The awe and power of Pein, and all that had ensued because of it. It had made something which had seemed so far away at first become so much more visceral and real to everyone. After that day the war had been in full, and all through it they had lost a good people. Konoha however had survived, and Neji had somehow hung on to his own life through it all. At times things had seemed like they wouldn't have panned out, but somehow he had survived. Since the war Konoha had been rebuilt, it had seemed like an impossible under taking, but with the village united and the war over all was at peace. Well for the most part, the aliance had ended and the world was silent, but the old words the calm before the storm still managed to sneak into Neji's head. especially with his new work. He still worked with Team Guy every now and then, but his new rank as given to him by Tsunade meant he had to take up a lot more work around him. There were fewer Anbu now then ever, and the position had seemed prestigous when he had gotten it, but now that had held it for a while he was starting to understand why not many people wanted it. The work was far more dangerous as an ANBU, and in a world where no one trusted each other anymore the job description was so much more deadly then it had been before the war. The truce was over, and business returned to 'normal' Villages were once again hubs for all forms of work from baby sitting to assassinations, and because of that no one wanted to share information. Everyone could have been the new akatsuki, and Konoha only came out on top because they were the only village that still held a jinchuuriki. With all that had changed honestly Neji would have rather gone back to being just a Jonin, but there was no need for it as of yet. The acadamy hadn't finished with the next batch of students, and Lee was all to eager to become a teacher, it would be one or two more years at the least before Neji became a team leader, though he was up to be a proctor for the next year Chunin exams. Still it felt good to be returning from yet another dangerous mission not just in tact but successful. The mission it's self had taken him along the roads towards Kumo, though thankfully never across the boarder into the land where he was most wanted. He still remembered all the grief that Kumo had caused him and his family in the past, and while he let the past lay at rest, and came to understand what had really happened that night it didn't mean he would allow another village to poke around the affairs of Konoha or the land of fire. Today would serve as a stern reminder that the land of fire's boarders were more then secure. As he walked through the forests of Konoha he did so with a leisurely pace. He was running on schedule if not ahead of time, and so there was no need to rush back to konoha. His other senses aside from the Byakugan were still sharp however and as he walked he couldn't help but notice the blood trail he came across. The blood on the ground lead away from the boarders and back towards Konoha, and it was more then fresh. Neji turned quickly changing his direction and pace, this situation what ever it was, was about to be much more dire then his leisurely walk home. Thankfully with his speed and grace it didn't take long to find the person who was bleeding there was certainly a lot of blood loss, and her body seemed broken, possibly even tortured. The smell of the blood was practically overwhelming, but Neji had smelled, and seen worse. No the thing that shocked him was that she looked like family. He didn't recognize her, she wasn't a part of the branch family, at least not a part that he had ever interacted with. She had all of the features of a Hyuuga, except for the fact that she wasn't one. There was a mystery here and one that he wanted answers too, but at the same time she was in no condition to answer them or be interrogated. She needed medical attention. It's okay I have you. Neji said as he lifted her body trying to be as gentle as possible. Racing her body back to the village. It was a shame that he had no medical training. He couldn't do anything but run as fast as his legs could carry him back to the village with a complete stranger in his arms. Hoping that he made it back to the hospital in time for her not to bleed out. Hiashi would need to be informed about this, this girls appearance and wounds were a stark reminder of just how dangerous the world could be for one of them.
