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.
