Second Life Begin Again (A Naruto Reincarnation Quest)

[Magoose]

Character Creation

'So your body finally fails you.' The voice spoke to you softly as you took long, uneasy breaths. Your final breaths

'But it is okay my friend. Soon you shall pass in the night, and we shall meet.' The voice was more comforting to your ears.

You looked up to the night sky. For years you followed advice from your late father, to cling onto the life you had lived so that you can make the world a better place.

Then you saw your body, the mortal coil that carried your spirit. It was:

[]A man

[]A Woman

[]A Machine (Gain Memories of a Machine)

But even in your long life, you felt like a failure even when you were:

[]A Diplomat: With your words, you prevented untold death and destruction, and reminding those who had the power to unleash it. With empathy and kindness, you brought a world on the brink to peace… and the saved the world. (Gain Memories of A Diplomat)

[]A Soldier: In the flames of battle, you stood tall, saving as many lives as you could. War, death, and destruction were constant companions. But you persevered, and it made you stronger. And in the end, persevering when all others failed, saved the world. (Gain: Memories of a Veteran)

[]A Statesmen: Your dream was making your nation a stronger place, sacrificing the short-term pleasures and eases for long-term benefits. Benefits that you would not live to see. But you made a difference and you were at peace with that. In your actions, you saved the world. (Gain: Memories of a Statesmen)

[]A Spy: You saved the world more times than you could count, with information, intimidation, and subterfuge. The thrill and terror of the end kept you alive… and that was enough. (Gain: Memories of a Spy)

[]A Scientist: You brought wonder from the mind, unlocking human potential by using the greatest tool in humanity's disposal, the human mind. And with it, you saved the world from disease, famine, and more. (Memories of a Scientist)

[]A Nobody: You were nothing... just a regular person in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Yet somehow you prevailed in... a spectacular fashion, saving the human race. Not bad for a screwup... and a nobody (Gain: Memories of Nobody)

[]???: You raged against the dying night, against the creatures of darkness that sought death and destruction against all that stood in its way. You were the last one of your kind. You charged into the darkness with a heart of light. You saved your world with your dying light. (Memories of a ???????)

Now as you floated away from your body, you looked at the spirit. "I wish I had more time." You whispered. There was so much left you needed to do.

'You will my child… but not in this life.' the voice said quietly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wrapped in blankets, you felt warmth and comfort, with your arms snug tight on your body were the first sensations in your new world.

"Welcome to your new life, my child." A voice spoke softly. "Honey... what was the name we chose again?"

What name was chosen for you (The First name Only, must be Japanese):
[]Write in.

You cried, wailing, as you entered your new life.

What is it you see as you open your eyes:

[]A large fan with red and white and blue. (Uchiha)
[]a circle with wavy, river-esque lines and three small pillar-esque lines (Nara)
[]a flower sprouting from the ground (Yamanaka)
[]a stick with wings (Akimichi)
[]a nose and two fangs (Inuzuka)
[]a bug with wings (Aburame)
[]a folding fan shape with a single flame in the middle (Hyuuga)
[]A diamond, with nine others within it. (Hatake)
[]Two small wings on top of a larger wing (Kurama)
[]Nothing, just a blank room, with nothing on it but a wall. (You are a clanless Civilian)

Meta: What difficulty would you like it to be:

[]Easy: You laugh at the face of danger, as you have powers equal to that of Madra Uchiha! (For those that want to have a nice easy time. More of an interactive story)

[]Medium: You look for a challenge in all things, and you want this to be enjoyable, and fun. (For wanting an average experience)

[]Hard: You want a challenge that will test your limits, so you can go beyond the impossible. (You want to be challenged, every decision counts)

[]Legendary: Wait… this is an option. Don't choose this unless you are prepared to die… repeatedly. (Prepare to die.)

Meta 2: What is the level of canonicity that you would like to follow?:

[]Keep is Close: You want something that resembles the Naruto world we all know and Love. That is fine.

[]Allow it To Grow: Changes will happen organically throughout the cosmos, either through your actions, or the actions of others.

[]Fuck Canon: You want to Burn Canon to the Ground and you do not care how much changes. The World is your oyster QM… just make it make sense.

AN: Money has been exchanged and away we go.

I'd thought to try this again, and mix business with pleasure, and try to make a better story than before.

A New Life Begins Again:

You felt the squishy sensation change rapidly, as a cool breeze replaced it. "Good work honey." The voice said as gasps of exhaustion entered your sensitive ears.

Gender Roll: 1D2 => 1

"It's a boy." The voice said again as you felt something warm wrap around you. The wet sensation that you had previously was replaced by dryness… and than warmth.

You liked the warmth, it was cozy, it was safe… it was… nice.

It was quite a thing. You looked to your mother with freshly opened eyes and saw her face. It was pale from stress, but her hair was blue as the midnight sky, illuminated by moonlight.

Her eyes, however, were intriguing. There were no pupils, and they were white as… snow.

Then a man walked over you, his shadow covering you, his face cloaked in the darkness. "Can I hold him?" The man asked quietly.

Soon you found yourself lifted, your body moving up into the air, away from the warmth of your mother. You wanted to wail, to go back, but then the man's face came into view. Like your mother, he was pale-skinned and had black hair. But on his forehead was a headband, with metal on it, with a strange symbol on it. His arms held you gently as he held you close.

"Hello." He said quietly, his voice squeaking. "Hello, Shiro."

You did not move, you remained silent. This man smelled strange. He smelled of blood. And his hands felt… coarse, rough, covered in scars.

You did not know what to do…

So you cried.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time passed quickly.

You quickly learned the language of your homeland and learned that you lived in a village called Konahakage… The Village Hidden in the Leaves.

You were seen as a special child, being:

[]The Clan Heir: Your father is the man who has lead the Hyuuga clan for many years. You are the firstborn child after many years of trouble. You are a signal to a new generation.

[]The Right Hands Child: You were the child of your Clan heads brother. You are lucky… without his influence, you would be separated from your family and placed into the Branch Family.

[]The Branches Favorite: You were seen by the main branch as another Branch Member. But they saw differently. You were treated well by the Branch Family. They saw you as the one who will remind the Main Family that just because they had a seal on your head, meant nothing. You would prove you were equals. (Start with Caged Bird Seal)

[]The Clan Outcast: Your father had married outside the clan without permission of the Elders and now lives in exile outside of the Hyuuga compound. You are reminded of it every day, with a seal on your father's head, and another on your own. (Start with Caged Bird Seal)

[]The Branch's Treason: You were not supposed to be born. Your father was scheduled to die, for being both a traitor to the clan, disobeying an order from the Clan head, an order he refused to follow. He would die after you were born, suffering death by the same seal that was placed on your head (Start with Caged Bird Seal)

Soon you were walking on your own, and interacting with the world. It was then you learned about something you did not know about.

The village you were in was at war. You were the first child of your clan to be born into an era of peace.

Your father said that the war you were conceived in was over.

You would be born in a time of peace and hope.

What war was now finally over:

[] "The Warring States Period. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara then led their respective clans, along with many others, including our own, to form the village of Konohagakure."
[] "The First Shinobi World War. Senju Tobirama sacrificed his life so his men, including our Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, could make it back to the village."
[] "The Second Shinobi World War. The Sannin made a name for themselves against Amegakure, as we fought against them, Suna, and Iwa."
[] "The Third Shinobi World War. Konohagakure lost many ninja in the war, but Namikaze Minato guided us through it. I believe he will be a good Hokage."

AN: Enjoy.

And the Genetic rolls will happen next turn, as will your family being created, due to me needing to find out who is in your family.

Plan format, please.

 

[Magoose]

Arms Legs, and Family:

You lived in the main compound, with your father's family. His brother, and wife, along with your mother. And you learned that you were both special, and not.

Special to your father and mother, for finally being able to have a child, one they could see as the light in their world, no matter how dark it seemed to be.

But not by your clan… the elders, and their supporters, both from the Branch family and the main family, despised you for what you were.

A member of the Branch without a seal, a special provision begged for by your father Hizashi because of your… deformity.

Deformity was not a word that you would describe it, however. Your arms continued to grow with you… but they would not move under your own power. Something was wrong with them… and you were frustrated.

You could walk… you could run like all the other children… but you could not use the two limbs to your side. They were useless.

A shameful mark, on both your mother, your father and you.

The elders and other branch members did not see the genius that shone through you. They did not care about you, the boy could walk on his own in six months without any guidance save for your mother, when she was available, learned to talk in nine by listening to council meetings, or read in a single year by stealing letters from Uncle Hiashi's desk and read them out to him before he sent you away.

The clan did not care for cripples… Had you been born even 50 years earlier… you would have been murdered in your crib for being a liability, a weak link to the clan.

Times were different of course. So you were allowed to live, if only because witnesses from outside the clan would know of your death.

To the clan, you were nothing but a cripple.

Yet to your family… you were everything.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your mother was the first to notice your genius, only a few months after you were born, when you walked to her, to try and get some food.

She was astonished by your dexterity, and your ability to learn so quickly, and she touted you about to the Clan like you were the heir, and praised your genius.

The clan did not care, for your hands, and arms were useless. You could not learn the Gentle Fist.

And as they berated her, she only said words of kindness to reply to them.

She knew better than to stifle you. They were blinded by their own ignorance, and biases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your father was always away from home. Your mother said it was missions, and he had to support her and you, now that she could no longer work, caring for you.

You could not really ask for much more than a yes or no.

But you learned the language through hearing and patience.

As she set you to bed one night, you said your first words.

"I love you."

Cold, monotone, even with the babyish squeals from your voice… but it the truth.

And your mother was overjoyed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your father and uncle were twins, and them sitting next to each other made things very difficult to tell which one was which.

But you noticed. Your father's relaxed posture in his legs and uncles Hiashi's rigid posture and flat face.

As you read the note you wrote with a brush in your mouth, however, you could tell both were proud.

Your father, beaming with pride and fatherly love, while Hiashi, with a cold stare, but underneath that stoney exterior… he was warm, kind, and above all else… happy.

He was happy that you did not define yourself by your lack of arms… and valued the creativity you displayed.

"Told you he was a genius." Your father said with pride.

Hiashi nodded. "Yes… he is." for a moment, a ghost of a smile appeared.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were a genius. But you were a child… and you would grow.

What do you do:
(Choose 3)

[]Spend Time with your mother: Your mother… she is a different woman than the others. She has the exterior of a porcelain doll… but underneath, she is a vicious… protective person. There is honesty, and emotion when there should be cold indifference… Love, when there is nothing but scorn.

[]Spend time with your Father: He is hardly home… but he always had a smile on his face, no matter where he seemed to be. "Come on Shiro… sit on my lap." He said quietly. He was warm.

[]Spend time with Uncle Hiashi: Your Uncle always hides behind a layer of indifference. He always acted neutral, calm. A pillar of support. But he held love. Love and duty, that always fought between each other. Clan, or Family.

[]The Branch Children: Despite being a cripple, the other children who did not wish to follow their families orders and ignore you… felt a strange kinship with you. It was warm to see others so… bright and innocent, and uncaring.

[]Dream: You dream of a machine standing over you. Neither human nor… spirit. No... it was not a foreign spirit or mind walker… It was you.

AN: Enjoy.

Also, you will learn all about your Byakugan range and abilities... next turn.

Plan format please.

Help Wanted:

(Hizashi POV)

Your meeting had guests… members of the Hyuga Clan elders were in attendance. They did not show

Your brother's face was like a statue, still, emotionless, and made of stone. It was hard to read, nearly impossible.

But not to you. Never to you. "Hizashi, please." Your brothers statement was filled with as much emotion as he allowed himself, at least to the unceasing ears of the fellow clansmen.

"I requested this meeting alone." You replied.

Your brother looked to you with pleading eyes. "I'm sorry but the elders requested they sit in this meeting as well. For your sake."

More like for their sake. "Than may I speak my grievances?"

Your brother nodded. "You may."

"Why has the clan stopped granting me a higher percentage of my mission payments? I am well within my right to have fifteen percent, not five, as a jounin and a father?"

Your brother's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing. His mind was deep in thought, trying to say the words that would please the elders...and you.

An elder spoke first, however. "Hizashi, we have debated, your continued search for both a cure for your son's disability is placing a strain, both on yourself and the clan's resources. The clan certainly cannot maintain such a financial burden, even with taking on more of your mission pay to compensate it. Not when your mounting hospital bills and experimental diagnoses and healing have all failed. Every doctor, medic and healer have said the same thing as our healers have. Your son's arms cannot be healed."

You narrowed your eyes. "Why have we not tried to find Lady Tsunade? Or request Orochimaru's assistance?"

Another elder spoke. "Lady Tsunade is halfway around the world and refuses any message we try to send to her. When we sent Hanna to see her to convince her to come back, she refused and threatened to kill her. Lord Orochimaru has requested a price the clan itself cannot take."

"What price?" you asked.

"Leave us…" Hiashi stated, and the elders did, filing out before your brother rose to his feet.

"He requested to take your son away so that he may become his apprentice," Hiashi stated coldly. "And I could not allow such a price to be paid for your son's ability to use his arms… for you know what that will mean."

Yes. The Caged Bird Seal. And your son would leave you… potentially forever.

"I take it you refused?" You asked.

"No. I kept the offer open in case you decide what is best for your son." Your brother replied. "He deserves better than being treated with such scorn by the clan for something he cannot control."

Yes. He was right about that. "When will you seal him?"

"On his sixth birthday." Your brother replied. "I trust that will be preferable to now?"

"It is." You found yourself replying softly.

"I'm very sorry brother." The emotion in your brother's voice was enough for you.

"It is enough Hiashi." You replied.

You did not trust Orochimaru… you don't think anyone did besides Lord Third, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

You had a solution… and hope… that was enough for you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man came at the dawn of the early morning, as quick as a shadow.

The man, if you could call him that started with a mechanical gaze behind the masked face. It was not a puppet, you did not see the strings. But you didn't think it was a man either... for his arms and legs had no chakra coils within them... and only a faint trace came from his heart and brain.

But it dropped a note that made you guess again.

"The Engineer of The Heart can assist… for a price."

you did not know what to think of that mysterious man... but you believed enough

AN: Enjoy some foreshadowing for the next turn.

Pursuing My True Self:

-[X]Spend Time with your mother: Your mother… she is a different woman than the others. She has the exterior of a porcelain doll… but underneath, she is a vicious… protective person. There is honesty, and emotion when there should be cold indifference… Love, when there is nothing but scorn. Rolled:1D100 => 92+10=102

Your mother held you close in her arms as you read the book in front of you, as she helped you turn the pages.

"Shiro, please talk to me." She requested as she turned you around, closing the book.

"About what?" You asked, looking at her. "Nothing interesting has happened, nothing really has changed."

Sometimes you saw the surprise on her face when you spoke so… formally and maturely. "I want to talk about you."

You nodded. "I don't want to." You replied.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Because I have nothing to say. The Clan has already made their opinions known to me, and nothing will change their opinions. I am the cripple, nothing can change that." You replied.

Your mother's face became a frown. "I know. But that isn't all you are. You are a genius."

"I know I am." You replied quietly.

"And how do you know that?" She asked.

"Because you are the one who always tells me that I am." You replied. "I have accepted myself as a cripple and a genius."

Your mother's frown vanished. "Is there any way I can help you?" She asked.

You nodded. "No. I only need to tell you that I love you, always… for not pitying me. But for allowing me to grow… To let nothing define me to you, but your love and support."

You saw your mother's tears first, but you did not notice her bring you forward into a hug.

It was very… nice.

Reward: Your mother loves you unconditionally, seeing you for you, no matter what may happen or the choices you make in the future.

If your life is threatened in any way by the clan, she would make sure you would survive.

-[X]Spend time with your Father: He is hardly home… but he always had a smile on his face, no matter where he seemed to be. "Come on Shiro… sit on my lap." He said quietly. He was warm. Rolled:1D100 => 97+10=107

Your father placed you onto his lap. "Shiro, what is that you truly want?" He asked.

"I don't know. I have you, and mother, and the clan… that is enough for me right now." You replied.

"But what it is it you dream of having something that is so impossible that you can only achieve it in your dreams?" He asked.

You smiled. "For you to be happy with me, and myself, happy with you."

Your father was stunned at you. "I love you, Shiro, no matter what."

"I know… That is all I dream about." You replied.

Reward: Your father loves you unconditionally.

-[X]Dream: You dream of a machine standing over you. Neither human nor… spirit. No... it was not a foreign spirit or mind walker… It was you. Rolled:1D100 => 100+10=110

You awoke to face a towering goliath of steel and iron, it's red eyes glowing brightly as they stared at you.

You looked up and seemed to move down to follow you. The floor was… also steel, iron, and cold illuminated by a white light.

As you walked forward, some things become...clearer. The darkness faded, and you were in a room of some description, with a glowing screen and a board of letters that you could read.

You sat in the chair and realized your arms could move. The machine waited… waiting for you to type.

You began with a question. "Where am I?"

The machine made a sound, a crackle, like a firecracker.

It then responded with "Your Spirit. I have been a part of you since you were born." The machine replied.

You then typed in. "What are you?"

The machine responded. "I am A-113, a medical Artificial intelligence from Installation 514, of the Galactic Alliance against the Swarm. I was destroyed in a raid by the swarm that killed all ten million inhabitants of the station… then my core was placed into a combat mech, which you are now seeing." There was a pause. "My prime directive is to heal hurt, and to destroy those that would bring you harm." It replied. "And above all else… keep the pilot alive."

Your mind flooded with questions. But one broke through first. "Are you the reason my arms don't work?"

The machine looked down upon you. "Yes." It's answer boomed.

"Why?" You asked.

"You humans are fragile… difficult creatures to save. The pilots I carried would not follow commands to protect them… my pilots were reckless, daring, and never cared for their own lives as I have cared for theirs." The machine lowered down, It's red eye glaring at you. "I refuse to lose another. So your arms are locked, their power and ability to be used… controlled only by me."

Suddenly, things made an amount of sense that before, had not. Your arms growing with your body, the sensations you could feel, but could not control. The ghost feeling of movement, but your arm could not move. "You are hurting me A-113. My clan despises me, and I am viewed as defective to them."

"Your mind says otherwise." The machine droned. "Your family cares deeply about your mental well being, and has a 92% chance of assuring your survival against the actions of your extended family."

"But I can't protect myself, or live a normal life in this society." You replied, with words that felt odd to use.

"Wrong, there is only a 5% likelihood for you to be in mortal danger based on current analysis." The machine droned. "An acceptable figure."

"Is that based on my memories and experiences or others?" You asked. "I have no experience outside my clan… what if the world is far more dangerous than you believe. What if by crippling me… you only endanger me further?" You replied.

The machine was silent. "Unlikely." The machine finally replied as it came closer.

"But is that a risk you can make to ensure my survival?" You asked.

The machine was silent again. This time, it was very quiet, and it seemed to be thinking… calculating… being another machine. "Your responses… are adequate."

You then looked at the machine. "Thank you."

"Do not think I will not watch. If you are as reckless as my former pilots… your arms will shut down again. Permanently." The machine replied.

"I understand." You stood up.

"Before you leave Shiro Hyuga." The machine stated. "My designation needs to be assigned before you can leave, and I can be of your services. What will you call me?"

What do you all the Machine in your soul:
[]Write in

Reward: The Machine has been met, and the power you have can now be unlocked.

You are no longer crippled in your arms, but you must try to remain safe for the machine, or he will shut off your arms again.

You may now begin to teach the machine about humanity, and maybe, trust in you, and those around you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you awoke, you moved your hands up to cover your face.

That's what it felt like… It felt...beautiful.

Your father and mother cried and thanked the gods for a miracle… And the rest of the Clan begged for your forgiveness.

Reward: You may now begin Training.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You had been invited to a party… well your parents have been invited to a party. Whose party have you been invited too:

[]Itachi Uchiha's 4th Birthday Party: The Uchiha, in a rare display of openness and… civility, have invited your family to the heirs birthday party. The Clan itself cannot send any other members besides your family, and you. An insult to the clan, and an honor to you.

[]Hizashi's Team Party: Your father's Jounin team has invited your family to join them for barbeque, and to finally introduce you to his friends and family.

[]The Hokage's Banquet: Lord Hokage is holding a small party for some of the more influential and politically active ninjas in the village. Your father and uncle are one of them, so you have to suck it up and dress well… this is a formal affair.

AN: I think I should put up some sage Dice tags in the tags... don't you think?

 

[Magoose]

The Party Part 1

The Uchiha compound was… quite a bit warmer than the Hyuga compound, from the atmosphere alone.

But it was not the warm that you find comfortable, this was far more… well, you couldn't describe it, but it was there. It was not the traditionalism that your clan had… it was the need for more power. The need to be accepted… to be loved.

Maybe that was only you who thought that way. Perhaps it was Atlas, giving you a memory that allowed you to understand just a little bit better, or was it just a feeling… a feeling to help you make the right choice. Or to run away.

Your father gave a small smile as the gate open. "Oh… Mikoto." The woman at the gates was certainly the clan heads wife, a black silk kimono that matched her hair perfectly. The way way your father said her name with such familiarity made you wonder how he knew her. A smile rose on his face. "I'm sure you remember Ike?"

Mikoto smiled. "I thought you should be greeted here Hizashi, for old times sake."

Your father gave a hearty laugh, and you all followed Mikoto towards her home. "Yes, old times that were five years ago. How's the family?"

"Fine. The clan is really happy to invite some of the others her for this special occasion." She replied.

"What about Fugaku, I trust the clan duties haven't caused him to become grey and cranky like Hiashi?" your father jokes as you mother ribs him.

"Fugaku is fine, though he's a bit tired, try not to annoy him with politics of the village, he has enough to deal with already."

Ahh, so seemed to be some bad blood between the village and the Uchiha clan… something must have happened in the past to cause it.

When you arrive at the house of the clan head, there was only a small gaggle of children there, maybe two or three, and the rest were adults, members of the Uchiha clan, a few outsiders… and Lord Hokage himself and his wife.

That was a surprise. A very big surprise. You had only heard hushed whispers about the new Hokage, something that fills you with great intrigue. They said he was a demon on the battlefield, a master of strategy, an imposing man who could will himself to win anything…

What you saw was a man with blonde hair, sitting down in front of a dog… petting it while getting his hair braided by one of the children, with his wife watching on with a gleeful smile.

This was a man feared by nations… And he was acting completely human.

It filled you with comfort, that such a man was your leader.

But now you had arrived at the party… now it was time to meet your fellows… or the adults

Who do you meet:

[]Itachi: The Young Uchiha was in the garden, staring at his plants, his mind deep in thought. The birthday child is not enjoying himself lke others have.

[]Hana Izunuka: The young girl was with Minato, now she was running around with her puppy. She also was planning something to get Itachi to smile.

[]Minato Namikaze: The man with pigtails in his head, the most dangerous man in the room… did not feel so dangerous. He was relaxed and enjoying himself.

[]Kushina Uzumaki: The Hokage's wife was chatting with her friend, and enjoying the small social gathering.

[]Fugaku: Your father and the Clan head seemed to be discussing some things… or was it reminiscing about old glories? You didn't know.

[]The Dog: You sensed a man in the rafters, watching over the entire party… he seemed lonely, so you're going to join him.

[]Sit alone: There is nothing here that interests you… You're going to eat cake. Maybe Atlas can be a good conversationalist.

AN: Enjoy.

The Party Part 2

Itachi turned to see you, as you walked forward to greet him. "Hello. My name is Shiro." You replied with a small bow.

"Itachi." The birthday boy replied as he gave a small bow himself before he turned around and sat down, looking at the garden.

"What are you looking at?" You asked as you sat down next to him.

The Uchiha scion looked at you with a curious glare. "You first?" He replied.

"I saw the person who's birthday it was sitting alone outside, instead of enjoying the party that is for him?" You replied. "Unless of course, the party is the problem and you wish to be alone?"

That made Itachi's eyebrows raise in an inquisitive and… curious manner. He looked at you, presumably at the pale eyes that you had. He was smart, clearly, like you. But he was unsure of himself. Itachi looked at you again, this time with his eyes scanning you. "Are you a genjutsu sent by my father to come and bring me back to the party?" He asked.

You nodded no. "No… And I'll prove it." You flicked the top of his forehead with your finger.

Itachi did not flinch when you did that. Only looking at you with curiosity. "Now I'll ask again… what are you looking at?"

Itachi looked back into the garden. It was full of small shrubs, reaching out into the sky with dirt and water on their leaves. "I just wanted to be alone in my garden."

"Are you afraid of something in there that you believe that your garden is a safe place for you, even when your family is waiting for you?" You asked.

Itachi flinched as he heard those words. "No." His quick no did not fill you with comfort. "I'm just… overwhelmed with my father's expectations. He views me as a genius, and wants me to bring honor and glory to the clan."

Ah… so he felt pressured. "Than stop caring about what anyone else wants from you… and do want you want. Enjoy yourself. Have fun. Greet people and do things that you want to do, even if it may anger your father." You then gave a smile. "You are your own person, not a continuation of your father's will."

Itachi than gave a frown. "I…" he paused before thinking some more. A smile rose in its place. "Thank you."

You nodded. "Your welcome."

The young boy stood up and walked over to his party, greeting everyone he met along the way, with a smile on his face.

"How did I know exactly what to say?" You asked yourself aloud.

Atlas rumbled in your mind. "You wished to help him… I merely… assisted with my knowledge."

"Were you controlling me?" You asked fearfully.

"No." He replied. "Everything you said, was you alone."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You returned to the party with more life in it than before, Itachi was speaking to everyone with a gleeful smile on his face.

Who do you talk to now?:

[]Continue speaking to Itachi: You were… very happy for him, and seemed very happy to play with you.

[]Hana Izunuka: The young girl was trying to steal some cake… you might stop her… you might not. But you did want to speak to her.

[]Minato Namikaze: The man no longer had pigtails in his hair, and he smiling at the young Uchiha now enjoying himself. Your father was standing next to him, laughing at a joke.

[]Kushina Uzumaki: The Hokage's wife was now sitting down, drinking some tea, still speaking to her friend.

[]Fugaku: The Uchiha Clan head was... both happy and annoyed. You didn't know why, but the way he looked at you made you feel off.

[]The Dog: The man was still in the rafters. Alone. You did not want him to be alone.

[]Sit alone: There is nothing here that interests you anymore… You're going to eat cake. Maybe Atlas can be a good conversationalist.

AN: Enjoy.
