Faustus
***
When he realized that he had _done it_, that he'd _succeeded_, his first instinct was to gloat. He stood naked in front of the mirror, admiring the smooth taut skin and the sleek young body, and he threw back his head and _gloated_, his eyes glinting in triumph.
It was the Holy Grail, it was the Philosopher's Stone, it was the ULTIMATE that everyone quested for, and it wasn't any of the legendary Sannin, or any of the world-shaking Akatsuki, or - hah - any of the overhyped Uchihas who had achieved it. It was the Hyuuga clan - it was him, Hiashi Hyuga, Lord Hyuuga, Head of the Main, who had done it.
He had found the secret to eternal youth.
It was one fourth serum and three fourths chakra-fixing seals, based on the physical-shapeshifting properties of chakra shaped for a kage bunshin/henge combination*. It wouldn't make him live forever. But it would continually rearrange his cells for maximum efficiency, maximum performance - that is, giving him a body at the peak of a shinobi's battle-effectiveness. He could -die by the usual shinobi means - violently - and he was theorizing that constant cellular manipulation and regeneration would one day take a toll on his body. But he also figured that would be a good ways from now, and until then - he was looking forward to a younger body.
And he certainly didn't plan to share this serum with anyone else. It was his secret. An advantage everyone had ceased to be an advantage, after all.
He didn't want immortality. What he wanted was simpler, humbler - relatively speaking. As a clan leader, he knew the pressures of leadership. He didn't wish to lead the world. He wished the Hyuuga to lead the world, elites that they were, and wished to lead them to the pinnacle. To do that, he'd need to be at the top of his game, physically speaking, and also to have a long enough tenure as lord of the Hyuuga to set plans in motion - and see them carried out.
He also wanted a proper heir. Hinata was useless, Neji was branded, Hanabi had grown too wild and also, she was a girl. He wanted a male heir, one who could rule without being handicapped by gender or the stigma of being the younger sibling.
His plan was to outlive them all, in the meantime structuring the clan the way he wanted, then breed himself a new heir. Carefully this time. A son.
But in the meantime......He admired his young body in the mirror again, and grinned. It was time to have the wild youth he had never gotten the first time around.

He'd noticed the way the slender, dark-eyed girl watched his nephew. Not only because he saw everything, but because he liked looking at her. She was a very pretty girl, and exotic after the pale-eyed, pale-skinned majority of his relatives. She was eyecandy, although he never let on he considered her as such. He knew several other males in his house, including some elders, certainly considered her daily visits to fetch Neji as an upside to their day.
Neji took as much notice of her regard as of a stump, which caused Hiashi to wonder if he should send his nephew to a doctor. Surely he was not impotent?
Well, he was going to do something about it now, of course. Neji had left the field open. And it was all his own fault.
