"You are going to accumulate a lot of hatred from Hinata once she comes to know." Kisuke said.
"Better than living her current life. At least Hizashi would treat her better and maybe she would have more self confidence then she has at the moment." Aoto said.
Meanwhile, Hizashi went back to the clan. He was shaking a bit and felt like he would do a very bad job acting as the Hyuga chief and he would be ousted. He wanted to scream to them and speaking of the truth.
But as he started walking towards the main hall where everybody' were waiting for their return, a young kid ran and went on to hug the gigai on the right. Hizashi stiffened up as he had extended his arms in order to hug the young kid.
The kid was Neji.
"Papa, where did you go?"
"Uh.. We went to meet an important. Neji, why don't you go to your place and your father will soon come to meet you." Hizashi didn't let the gigai speak and answered himself. Though Aoto had assured him that the gigai could talk and answer according to the situation, he didn't want to take any risk.
It was mostly him panicking. Neji nodded and after bowing to Hizashi went the other way. The curse mark was already been put on his forehead and he was already holding a grudge against Hiashi but he never dared to show his hatred.
After Neji left, Hizashi sighed in relief that his son also couldn't see the difference. But seeing his son, it made Hizashi stronger in his resolve. Aoto was right, he would be sacrificed for the greater good and Neji would be a fatherless child. He didn't want that kind of future for his brilliant child of whom he was proud.
Taking a deep breath, he went to Hiashi's place and called for a meeting of all the important members of the clan and that he had finally taken a decision. While he called for them, he had asked the gigai to follow his instructions. And thus when the meeting started he apologized at the beginning and said that he and his brother had come to a decision. It was there where the gigai came forward to speak up and said that he was ready to sacrifice himself for Konoha.
And in order to make the sacrifice look more authentic, the gigai gave a good speech of him taking the destiny in his own hands, his choice of death being the one. Hizashi showed a 'sad' face. Though he didn't understand of how Aoto and his friends were able to make a live person, he didn't care at that point.
The gigai committed suicide at the evening in hos own room and the words soon spread. The funeral was scheduled the next day and many people were invited. Aoto too came for the funeral and so did various shinobis from Konoha. Aoto even saw Guy and Kakashi showing up. All of them were sad and Hizashi welcomed all of them.
When Hizashi saw Aoto and Kisuke, he shuddered a bit but welcomed them.
"I am sorry for your loss, Hizashi-san." Aoto said. Hizashi just nodded and put up a sad face. Hizashi just tried to act as true to his character as possible at that point. It was already heart breaking to see his son's eyes filled with tears when he gave the news away and almost went on to hug him and tell him all the truth.
But he also knew that if he did so, his son might not be able to act the way he was supposed to. So he let the nature take its course. His son was strong and hopefully after he gets rid of the curse mark in the future, he would be a great ninja.
He needed to get rid of the curse mark in the family and maybe one day Neji would be the head. Hizashi knew that he was being selfish but which father wouldn't be selfish for his son's sake. He had already decided that under the guise of chief of Hyuga, he would personally train his son just like he used to.
But that was a thing of the future, the situation around needed to calm down at first. Aoto talked with the ones he had been in contact with, and most of the shinobis were friendly with him. Primarily because he had helped them with many tools and though many people found it odd that he had adopted the demon kid, they didn't bring the topic out.
"Hizashi is doing a good job." Kisuke whispered.
"He must or else the clan will just break apart like the Uchiha once were." Aoto said.
"Uchiha once were broken apart?" Kisuke was surprised and asked.
"It was a long time ago, before the village system was established. They have two forbidden jutsus. Izanagi and Izanami. Izanagi can rewrite reality, so some of them used it to make things in their favor, until Izanami was invented that can make a person fall into a loop. There is a lot of history behind that. At the end it was Izanami which saved their clan at that time." Aoto explained and of course he did so in whispering manner so that others couldn't hear him.
"They have quite the history." Kisuke said.
Soon the funeral ended and Aoto was back at his place. Aoto knew that Hizashi wouldn't let Hinata come early, and it would take quite a bit of time or maybe months to let her come here and know the truth.
Hiashi wasn't let out of the library and was held in captivity and just like Chomei initially. Of course, unlike Chomei he didn't flare up from time to time and just be in captivity and marvel at the books and the library. From time to time he would see various people coming and going in the library.
He even saw Naruto and tried to call him, but the magic had isolated him completely and nobody could see him.
