    • Aftermath 1: Family

    You awoke feeling a hand stroke your head, and tears falling down on your face. Your eyes fluttered open and you saw Hiashi looking at you.

    His face had all the emotions you didn't want him to have. He was sad, he was fraught with fear, and eyes held everything that made you fear whatever you might say.

    But you needed to ask him. "Uncle… where's my father… where's mother?"

    Your uncles face became a stern glare as if it was all he could do to prevent himself from breaking down. "Shiro." He paused and immediately, you knew what he was about to say. "They're dead."

    You quietly comprehended the words that were said to you. "And Neji?" You asked.

    "He's safe, with one of the other clan members." He replied. "I heard about what happened to you."

    "What happened… I can't really remember." You stated, scratching your head.

    Your uncle nodded. "You were the hospital for several hours, assisting the medics with skills and knowledge that I know you did not learn from Kakashi."

    Oh… Looks like Atlas was following his medical directives. "Did I save any lives?"

    Hiashi nodded. "Yes." He shook his head. "You saved my wife's life. We thought she had entered labor prematurely, but you told us it was not that, and that it was a part of her chakra system that was not working properly. You told the medics to repair it, and then moved on to help others." Your Clan head took a deep breath.

    "Am I in trouble?" You asked.

    Your uncle nodded. "You saved 200 lives, Shiro… I do not know how you did it, but I do not care." He paused, wiping his hand across his face. "I don't think anyone would call you trouble… they'd call you a hero."

    You nodded. "Are you going to interrogate me for how I did that?"

    Your uncle nodded no. "No. A person who saves lives is someone who should be rewarded… no imprisoned or interrogated… Unless you have something to tell me, Shiro?" He paused again. "Do you?"

    Do you tell Hiashi About Atlas?:
    []Yes
    []No

    Where do you do now:
    []Stay with Hiashi: He needs someone to talk to right now… To allow him to express his grief.

    []Go to Neji: You need to see your little brother and see if he is okay.

    []Find Kakashi-sensei: You need to see if Kakashi-sensei is okay.

    []Go to Itachi: You haven't seen Itachi since before the attack… you need to find out if he's okay.


    AN: Enjoy.

    I like this Hiashi.

    [X]Go to Neji: You need to see your little brother and see if he is okay.

    This choice is tough, in the end I choose Neji, because he has nobody else to hug.

    Choosing Kakashi would lead into talking with Minato?
     
    [X]No
    [X]Go to Neji: You need to see your little brother and see if he is okay.

    Its between him an Kakashi really. Everyone else has someone else.
     
    [X]Yes
    [X]Stay with Hiashi: He needs someone to talk to right now… To allow him to express his grief.

    We now Neji is safe for now. We don't really know how badly hurt Kakashi is at the moment.
     
    [X]Yes
    Because, why not? I think we should have came clean as soon as we learned Atlas was a thing, but that wasn't an option.

    Oh no! They are ALL good choices! Dammit, why don't we know the Shadow Clone Jutsu!

    Well, he's both happier that we've cemented a reputation of positivity and kindness. saving lives (especially his wife) also help in that regard.

    Everybody needs hugs.

    And yes on Kakashi

    I'm kind of surprised choosing Hiashi doesn't seem to be more than a debrief though. Nice debrief, but given the amount of time, lack of rolls, and weight some people agonized over on which choice is better to go with Minato or Hiashi. This scene, not including a hug moment with Hiashi, or partly talking with Hiashi to deal with the possible grief Shiro might be feeling, is a little surprising.
     
    [X] Yes

    [X]Go to Neji: You need to see your little brother and see if he is okay.


    I reckon the cat is THOROUGHLY out of the bag, and this is one guy we trust to be on our side.
    Lets have some assistance with deciding how to sell this.

    Hiashi just lost half his family. He's not coping with it very well.

    and there is nothing for him to really say to us at this moment. He's trying to be strong, when he wants to break down.

    If you want emotion, Kakashi was where emotion would have been uncontrollable.
     
    If we say yes, we're an asset. All we know and will know is already known to us, and anything further we learn will be slow, inefficient. We become a prize, a golden trophy for others to take and use.

    If we say no, we're a prodigy. Remarkable, someone to look out for, and useful in the political sense, but not someone to kidnap right this moment. Better to wait until proper training has been done, then steal the revolutionary breakthroughs.

    Thing is, we are BOTH. We know a shit ton, but we can learn a shit-ton more. Atlas, for all his medical knowledge, is (presumably) from a world without Chakra. Both him and us can learn a shit-ton in this new world.

    What's more, given our primary use is our brain, we are only useful when we are working willingly. They can't just steal us for our body. As such, they have to keep us appeased if they wish to make use of us, and Atlas atleast doesn't want us throwing away our lives into tireless labor.


    Edit:

    Was the chakra problem something REALLY small, and REALLY looked like Labor? Because both Hiashi and his Wife have Byakguan of their own, let alone the rest of the clan who lives in service to them, and can directly look at her belly and network and see whether or not she's entering labor. They could peep up the exact insides of the womb and everything.

    Really small, but really dangerous. Something only an AI could see.

    Seems like it's less small, more subtle. They're eyes are just as good, if not better, so it shouldn't be a question of detail but understanding the details. Like, 3 or 4 chakra points having 2% more chakra in them than usual, something that everyone can SEE, but would just overlook because it doesn't stand out at all.

    The oddest part is that it could be confused with labor. Maybe the problem was INDUCING labor? The labor was a side-result of whatever was killing her?
