I started posting a new Naruto fic several weeks ago! If you enjoy family drama and political scheming, please check it out. :) This particular WIP has been in my unfinished pile for over two years and I loved the AU too much to let it languish, forever unposted. Full disclosure - I might not end up finishing the story, but I'll do my best.
Title: Stolen Heir
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Possible Major Character Death, Implied Sexual Content
Summary:
Under cover of peace, the Hidden Cloud steals Hinata Hyuga from the place she should have been safest. Desperate to see his daughter returned, Hiashi Hyuga sends Neji and Ko Hyuga on a secret mission to find her - at the ends of the earth if necessary.
Yet even in the wake of its heir's abduction, the Hyuga clan remains a house divided, held together by lies. And more than the sabotage of any foreign-nin, those lies may prove its downfall.
Silence, Neji didn't move or blink or say anything
N: Excuse me?
T: You know😞
N: No, I do not.
T: 😞😞😞😞
N: Tenten, why is this question in your head at midnight?
T: I'm curious.
N: You curious about how your name sounds when moaned?
T: I just mean, some name are flowy some are stiff
N: And you need my opinion on that?🤨
T: Exactly.
N: Hmmm🤔🤔🤔, the name Tenten...... It has repetition, rhythm, soft consonants, it's.... Easy to say. Sure, it's moanable.
T: That's your opinion?
N: Well, it's short enough to breath through and I said it enough to know.
T: What?
N: You ask if your name is moanable, and for the records it sounds perfectly fine.
T: You tested it?😏😏😏
N: Yes????
T: Pervert.
N: You ask this question Tenten.
T: Still a pervert, like you are in my Tsukuyomi backthen.
N: What?
T: Omg I can't believe it's a long time ago, but yeah when Mugen Tsukuyomi happened you were.... Kinda pervert.
N: Pervert how?
T: First of all, you were saying ny sport bra is ugly and I should wear a better underwear. And second of all, you used your byakugan to peep on girls!
N: Why is it ugly?
T: What?????
N: Based on what?
T: That's your takeaway??
N: I am trying to understand the logic.
T: There is no logic! It was my dream!
N: And you said I used the Byakugan to… observe women?
T: OBSERVE?! You were peeking, Danna-sama!
N: That would be an invasion of privacy then.
T: Exactly!
N: I would not do that.
T: So you wouldn't judge for what I'm wearing?
N: No.
T: So you're saying my sport bra is not ugly?
N: I mean- I did not- That's not what I said.
T: Seems like you said it was ugly!
N: No, Tenten.
T: Say it then!
N: .......It is not ugly.
T: And you never used your byakugan to peep on girls?
N: No.
T: That suspiciously immediate answer.
N: The Byakugan is meant for perception, strategy, and defense. Misusing it in such a way would be-
T: -a waste of potential?
N: A violation of privacy☺️☺️
T: So you’ve never been curious?
N: No.
T: Not even once?
N: No.
T: Not even-
N: No, Tenten.
T: You didn’t even let me finish.
N: I know where that question was going.
T: You’re not fun.
N: I am not meant to be ‘fun’ in that sense🤨
T: Yourself in my Tsukuyomi would disagrees🤨
N: Your dream version of me lacks discipline.
T: I have a question.
N: What is it again, Tenten?
T: Have you ever met Jiraiya-sama and help his research?
N: So you are suggesting, that I collaborate with Jiraiya-sama… in violating women’s privacy?!🤨
T: I'm just curious if he ever ask you that😭 Besides, if you helped a legendary sannin I guess he offers you a big deal.
N: Absolutely not.
T: So you’d just reject him like that? Straight to his face?
N: Yes.
T: No hesitation?
N: No, that research is already questionable.
T: I guess the real you is WAY BETTER than you are in my Tsukuyomi, I'm glad🤔
N: And for the record, if I wished to look at you I would not need to hide behind my Byakugan.

Summary:
Tenten had been pulling away for weeks. Neji noticed. She told him it was nothing. It wasn't nothing, of course.
It takes a cancelled teashop date, two teammates who know Neji better than she gives them credit for, one shared mission, and a rainstorm with bad timing, before she finally stops stepping away.
"You just would not let me stand beside you." Neji said.
My Naruto brain has smacked me un the face tonight, so I'm going to drop some old art where I aggressively traced 3d models to learn and no one gets to judge other than me.
These are all bout a 1.5 years old so no judge or get the bonk
