down-turned sky blue eyes widened for a brief few seconds --- a look of surprise crossing his whiskered features before it disappeared, turning into a light unsure scowl. blonde brows relaxed yet a worried look reflected in his gaze. he’d been skipping out on training with both hiashi and hanabi and never gave his reason why. he did have a reason, he didn’t know how to tell anyone; knowing a secret is best kept to oneself for the unknown was feared even still.
it was an apologetic look he shot towards his namesake before looking away, ashamed. sure he saved the village with his father and the five kage, but he didn’t feel like he really did anything of importance. right bandaged hand clenched and unclenched. a sweat bead trickling down his temple --- the more he thought of the battle after...
( i sense the byakugan... o’ son of man heed my words. one who defeats a god is no ordinary person anymore. your eyes! your eyes will take everything from you one day! this is your fate! )
even thinking about it, remembering the otsutsuki’s tone, gave him chills. shudders starting from his shoulders down. so early in the morning where fog settled along the area, he felt the chill seep into his very bones. he didn’t care about fate he already chose his path.
‘ n-neji-occhan....are you here to scold me for not coming to training? y-you can just save me the lecture, ‘ttebasa.. ’
