Personality & Behavior:
Yosuki is a kind and open person to talk to, though at times he finds that he keeps to himself either by his own choice or not. He is never one to try and intentionally ignore or annoy someone that does not deserve such a reaction, but is not one to back down from confrontation if he feels the need to defend something or someone or if he feels someone has wronged him. His form of humor can sometimes come across as arrogant, but he usually never means for it to be. He is a confident shinobi, but not too confident to know that he can still learn from anyone and any experience.

Appearance:
Yosuki is 5'9" with long somewhat spiky black hair, though it is always in a ponytail that hangs down the middle of his back. His normal attire consists of a grey long sleeve shirt with a white bandage wrapping around each arm just below the shoulders with an Uchiha symbol displayed on his back while he wore grey sleeve protectors to cover most of his forearms and his hands, though some of his ponytail hides the insignia while he has black pants with a few splattered red designs on them, giving the look of blood stains scattered on the jeans; underneath the garment he is usually sporting his black shinobi sandals.

Background:
Yosuki Uchiha was born in a small town though he never came to know the town’s name since he never asked what it was as a child and just referred to it as the place he grew up in. He was born to two Uchiha parents, his mother Shizuka Uchiha and his father Satoshi Uchiha. His mother was a kind woman, though stern when she needed to be with Yosuki. She had short black hair with black eyes and was always dressed very casually, though she was a stay at home mother while Yosuki’s father worked. Satoshi was a very relaxed man and easy to get along with, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know when to be serious when the time came for it. He had long black hair that was usually held up in a ponytail that reached just below his shoulders with black eyes just like his mother. Luckily he was able to see both of his parents on a regular daily basis; even if his father would come home exhausted he would make time for Yosuki and Shizuka. Yosuki couldn’t remember too much about his early life years, only bits and pieces of them came to him at random and even then, they were mostly in dreams or in daydreams.

At the age of 5, he began helping his mother around the house, doing various chores to help ease the workload and stress away from his mother. Though he was usually given some of the smaller chores, his mother always thanked him for what he was doing. In the town Yosuki lived in, while he still went to school, they didn’t teach Yosuki what he really wanted to know for what he wanted to be when he grew up and that something was a ninja. He’d heard about the travels and adventures from others in town of what ninjas did; though they scared him slightly, he couldn’t help but imagine himself as one; he guessed it was just something in his blood. When he brought the idea up to his mother, she of course said ‘no’ and his father just laughed at his mother. Later on Satoshi pulled him off to the side and told him to be whatever he wanted to be and that no matter what his parents would both still love him. Yosuki had asked if the local school taught anything about shinobi training with his friends, who just looked at him weird and laughed at him for asking such a question. One day stuck out to him more so than others after an incident after the school had just been dismissed for the day. Before the day started, his mother had given him a blue shirt with an odd looking logo on the back; the symbol represented a fan with the top half being red and the lower half being white. He didn’t ask his mother what it meant as he didn’t have enough time to before school started, but with how his mother smiled at him when he gave her a questioning look, he didn’t care much. After school had been let out, a group of people outside of the entrance gathered around him and began to pick on him, pushing and shoving him around one another, making him drop his books and papers from school; he recalled them yelling ‘demon’ at him, which caused him great confusion above anything else. One of the boys of the group, Sho then began to punch Yosuki, to which Yosuki responded by putting his arms up against the bully’s punches. He heard his friends encourage Sho to continue wailing on Yosuki before an adult quickly removed the children from around Yosuki, but Yosuki’s first instinct was to run. He left whatever papers and books he had on the ground back at the school, he could faintly hear someone yelling for him to come back, but everything sounded muted to him as his legs continued to make him run. He kept running and running until he found himself in a nearby forest, with no intention of stopping until he felt someone’s hands on his shoulders in front of him. By some instinct alone, Yosuki stopped and looked up at the person only to see his father standing in front of him, worry and confusion clearly visible in his eyes and on his face. After asking what happened, Yosuki explained the incident to his very confused father; his father just sighed as he knelt down to be eye level with him and examined his son’s face, checking for bruises. Yosuki stood there silently as his father examined him before he asked why they did that to him, to which his father simply responded by saying he didn’t know. Yosuki’s words left his mouth shortly after as he asked his father if he was a demon, causing his father to look confusingly at him. His father sighed at his question before shooting a soft smile at him before asking him if he knew what was on the back of his shirt was. Yosuki shook his head slightly at his father’s question before his father told him that it was their Clan’s symbol. Yosuki blinked confusingly at his father’s explanation, something caught by his father’s eyes as he smirked and stood up in front of his son. Satoshi simply placed his hand on his son’s head and ruffled his hair slightly, causing Yosuki to look up at him before hearing his father tell him that he’d explain it when he was older and that Yosuki should, no matter what or who told him otherwise, be proud of that symbol on his back before he took Yosuki back to their home.

As the years moved on, Yosuki always remembered the lesson his father taught him that day, not caring about what the other bullies at his school said and one day finding himself face to face with Sho; he also started wearing shirts with his Clan emblem presented proudly on his back. Sho was a bit taller than Yosuki and as Yosuki’s father had put, Sho ‘was tough, but the light bulb never got put in his head’. On a specific day after school when Yosuki asked what Sho was doing as he just stood in front of him, Sho told him that he hated him and his family, making Yosuki lift an eyebrow to the taller boy before simply stepping off to the side and beginning to move around him. He felt Sho grip the back of his shirt before throwing him back to where Yosuki was facing the boy again. He yelled at Yosuki to not walk away from him, calling him ‘demon’ again before Yosuki stood there for a moment as he watched Sho seethe in anger before walking around him again. Sho moved to block him and Yosuki just sighed and asked if he could go home. Sho told him that his family shouldn’t even be in the town, that demons would only cause problems. Yosuki quickly responded, without thinking about it, with the only one causing the problem was him. Two of Sho’s friends joined him and Sho’s face turned into that of a smug one before he asked Yosuki what he was going to do. Yosuki looked at the three boys before smirking and saying “Hey Dad”, looking behind the three boys. Sho laughed and asked if he thought that stupid trick was going to work on him before feeling a hand being placed on his shoulder and hearing Yosuki’s father question “What trick?”. Sho quickly moved away with his friends as he looked at Yosuki’s dad, who was just simply smiling at the child as Yosuki walked over to stand next to his father. Satoshi asked what the problem was to Yosuki, who glanced over at Sho, who in response was giving him a half-glare. The young Uchiha simply blinked twice at the boy before saying ‘nothing’ to his father and asking if they could go home. Satoshi smiled at his son and nodded before turning and walking with his son. As Yosuki began walking away, he heard Sho and his friends audibly gasp, causing him to turn his head and see his father just turning his gaze away from the trio before looking upon him with his normal obsidian eyes and smiling; Yosuki wondered what happened, but didn’t bother to ask his father as they both walked home.

A few months passed, with Yosuki turning the age of 9 years old in the process, before Yosuki arrived home to see his parents packing, something that made him blink in confusion before asking what was going on. His mother smiled at him and asked him to go to his room and start packing, stating they were moving soon. Yosuki asked why before Satoshi told him they were moving to a new home in Kusagakure. Yosuki was still mildly confused as to why they were moving, but he did as his parents instructed him to do and went up to his room to pack. Within a week, the family was done packing and began moving towards their new home in the Grass Village. It took them a little over a month to get to their destination, but before long, they were there to see the Grass Village. It looked as though it was emptier than what he expected, but his parents didn’t seem to mind it as much. Once they made their way towards their new home, he was enrolled into the Academy that Kusagakure had. When he was informed by his parents of this news, he felt ecstatic and overjoyed, though his father warned him not to pick any fights with any of the older kids. Yosuki agreed and promised he’d stay out of trouble as best as he could before continuing to unpack. The next day he arrived at the Academy, being greeted by his teacher, whom he was told to just call ‘Sensei’. The school was a little bigger than his old one, but he found the students to be small; maybe the Village was still growing? Yosuki kept to himself at first, unsure of how far along the other kids in his class were in terms of training and he wasn’t looking forward to making any enemies on his first day. When he was told to introduce himself on his first day by his teacher, he stood up and said his name; though he tried to ignore some of the whispers from the other kids. After a few days at school and pretending to not notice that everyone at school was avoiding him, a young girl walked up to him while they were all eating lunch outside of the Academy. Yosuki had found a tall tree on his first day and always sat against the tree trunk with the shade of the leaves protecting him from the sun. She introduced herself as Katsumi Haruno and she asked if it was okay for her to sit with him while they ate. Yosuki blinked at first before nodding his head and moving over so she could sit next to him before he kept eating. He noted that she had long pink hair put into a ponytail, something that made him question if the hair was naturally that color or if she dyed it that way; either way, it didn’t bother him. Katsumi began to ask him questions about how he liked Kusagakure and the Academy so far and if he had made any friends, something Yosuki chuckled at when she asked. Yosuki stated that the Village was okay and the Academy was fun too, but he hadn’t made any friends. She asked him why that was before he picked up his drink and pointed to the other kids in front of them before taking a drink. It seemed that only then that, when Katsumi looked over, did she notice all of the other kids looking at her like she was crazy, with some of her friends beckoning her to come over with them. Once Yosuki was done taking a drink he asked if that answered her question, quietly chuckling as he did so before he placed the drink next to him and pulled out a book he’d began reading over the past few days. The book was the book that their Sensei handed out for everyone to read for practice, with the basics of different kinds of weapons like kunai and shuriken, what chakra was; to sum the book up, at least to Yosuki, it was a beginner’s book for them. Of course, he expected that as time went on, they’d learn in detail what the book didn’t have on its pages and would eventually move onto advanced shinobi learning. Yosuki had already gotten through the first few chapters already, something he wasn’t sure the others had done since anytime the others had the books they were just skipping pages to see what was on the pages or they read a little bit before closing the book. Katsumi looked over at the young Uchiha, noticing he was reading the book before asking if she was bothering him. Yosuki smirked slightly as he kept reading as well as listening to the pink haired girl, stating that she wasn’t bothering him at all and that she could keep talking to him if she wanted as his eyes scanned the words on the page he was reading. He looked over at her out of the corner of his eye, seeing her give him a sort of confused face before smiling at him and leaning back against the tree trunk and began to talk with him. As the weeks went on, Yosuki and Katsumi hung out regularly on their lunch break since the seating arrangement in their classroom hadn’t changed and they began to make a normal habit out of sitting in comfortable silence or talking while Yosuki read a book. He asked her one day if his reading while they hung out bothered her before she laughed and said that it didn’t; she said she admired it. Yosuki asked her why that was before she answered that it showed his determination to be a ninja, something that made the young Uchiha smile somewhat smugly. A rather embarrassing incident happened when the two were hanging out by the entrance of the Academy, talking about the events of the day as Yosuki’s mother arrived to meet with him; she was still a bit unsure of the Village, so she was still picking him up from school against both Yosuki and his father’s wishes. She greeted her son before introducing herself to the young Haruno girl, who greeted her as well. Yosuki was about to wave goodbye to Katsumi before his mother joked about him not telling her he had a girlfriend already. The young Uchiha had never blushed before because of a girl, but this most definitely was the case this time as he told, or rather yelled in this instance, that she wasn’t. Katsumi had a minor blush on her cheeks as well, but she was smiling and giggling from his outburst while Shizuka simply smiled at him before she saw her embarrassed son walk away from the two of them before saying goodbye to Katsumi and following to catch up to her son.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next few months went on as normal as they could, with Katsumi and Yosuki still being friends as they went through the Academy together; even on occasion, she would be invited over to Yosuki’s house for dinner. Yosuki hadn’t made any other friends though, for whatever reason that was, he wasn’t sure of. He didn’t come off as offensive to anyone in his class, he was polite to everyone when he needed to talk to them for whatever reason; why no one liked him or ever tried talking to him remained a mystery to him, but he never let it depress him too much. Katsumi’s friends had tried stealing her away once, coming over to the tree the two still hung out and ate lunch at, talking only to her as if he wasn’t there. Yosuki didn’t say anything as he continued reading the book he was reading that day before catching Katsumi look over at him, making him look away from his book and raising an eyebrow while smirking at her; he wasn’t sure why she was looking at him, this was her decision to make. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion before Yosuki looked up at the new group before smiling at them and saying hello. The small crowd of people looked at him, shocked that he’d spoken to them before they all said hello back and asked Katsumi to go hang out with them. Katsumi in retaliation asked why they didn’t join them, to which they gave a silent response, but their eyes said it all; Yosuki was quite perceptive even for a nine year old. Katsumi sighed at them and told them that she was busy, something that made Yosuki smirk inwardly at before he turned his gaze back to the book and Katsumi tried to go back to the conversation they were having. A boy in the group, Tsuyo Hyuga stepped forward and knocked the book out of Yosuki’s hand, making Yosuki look up at him before Tsuyo told Yosuki in a stern voice to leave Katsumi alone. Yosuki smirked before he stood up, making the others back away except for Tsuyo, went over to his book before he bookmarked it and place the book where he was. Katsumi gave a confused look at Yosuki before Yosuki turned his gaze back, asking “or what?” to Tsuyo. The young Hyuga became angry quickly before throwing a punch towards Yosuki, who felt the impact of it sting his cheek before he stumbled back a few steps. Katsumi shot up from her spot before shoving Tsuyo away from him, with Tsuyo giving her a bewildered expression as Yosuki glanced over at the Hyuga only to see the back of Katsumi standing between the two of them. Tsuyo asked what she was doing before Yosuki rubbed his cheek, inwardly chuckling at the boldness of the other boy and their teacher came out to ask what was going on. Katsumi and Yosuki told their side of the story and Tsuyo called only Yosuki a liar about what happened. Their teacher pulled the three of them inside and told them that they would be staying after school as punishment. After school was released, the trio stayed, but Katsumi quickly went over to Yosuki and sat next to him, asking him if she could sit there, to which he nodded. It was odd that people could sit next to him during the day, but never spoke with him; he never gave off any vibe that turned people away from him, people just tried their best to stay away. The teacher stayed in the room as he graded paperwork, Tsuyo sat glumly there and Yosuki read his book with Katsumi doing her leftover homework. After a half hour, the three were dismissed while their Sensei waited outside with them, telling them that their parents had been asked to meet with him. Tsuyo’s father was the first to arrive, shortly followed by Yosuki’s mother and Katsumi’s mother. Tsuyo’s father immediately demanded to know why his son had been kept after school, which the other two mothers asked about their own children as well. After their Sensei explained what happened at lunch, Tsuyo’s father looked angrily at the young Uchiha before beginning to scold him. Yosuki’s mother however was having none of that as she began to yell at the older Hyuga, making Yosuki’s and the adult male Hyuga’s eyes widen in surprise; he’d never heard his mother yell before. After Yosuki and Katsumi’s mothers both telling off the older Hyuga, the now annoyed Hyugas left the school while Yosuki introduced himself to Katsumi’s mother; oddly enough with how much the two hung out, he’d never met her mother before; though he’d never gone over to her house either, so it made sense to him at least.

<p class="MsoNormal">At the age of 13, both Katsumi and Yosuki graduated the Academy with their class for Genin rank, something that mildly shocked everyone else; Yosuki was the last to join the Academy of their year and he was the least knowledgeable and experienced when he joined, but he caught on quickly. Yosuki and Katsumi’s families met to meet up to celebrate their children’s graduation when Yosuki blinked and looked around, making Katsumi ask what was wrong. Yosuki responded by asking where her father was, something that made her eyes drop down slightly as well as the rest of her expression. When he asked what was wrong, Katsumi told him that her father was no longer with them, making Yosuki immediately regret bringing up the situation before apologizing. Katsumi shot him a sad smile, telling him not to worry about it and that he didn’t know before she dragged him off back to their families so they could continue with their celebration.

<p class="MsoNormal">He ended up finding himself on a team with a Sensei named Manabu Hatake with himself, Katsumi and oddly enough Tsuyo; why they had been paired up like that, Yosuki didn’t know, but didn’t try and complain about it like Tsuyo did at times. During their first team training session a week after their graduation, Tsuyo tried to outdo Yosuki with a fighting style he’d never seen before, but Yosuki had something not even Katsumi had known about. As their training continued, Tsuyo tried to once again strike Yosuki with the same fighting style, to which Yosuki was luckily able to trip up and create distance between himself and Tsuyo before Yosuki formed numerous hand seals before shooting a fireball out towards the Hyuga. The attack was the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, something he learned from a scroll that his father had given to him on the day of his graduation; Yosuki would often sneak off to go practice it where no one would be in his way if he messed up with it. The technique was hard to master at first, but the more times Yosuki tried to perfect it, the easier it came to him. As the fireball headed towards Tsuyo, Manabu moved the stupefied Hyuga away from the attack while the fireball set the patch of grass it had landed on ablaze. Manabu quickly performed a Water Style Jutsu to dismiss the flames before telling the three of them to rest. Yosuki sat down where he was standing, panting slightly from training and using the Jutsu while looking over at Katsumi, who stood wide-eyed at him with a shocked smile on her lips and Tsuyo who was glaring angrily at him to which Yosuki responded with an amused smirk. Manabu laughed slightly and shook his head when he saw the three of them, though he could easily see who disliked who on the team. He told the three that he was impressed by their progress and that they were dismissed for the day before making his exit. Tsuyo quickly shot to his feet before walking over to Yosuki, who was standing next to Katsumi now before getting in Yosuki’s face, glaring a hole through him. Yosuki simply smirked at the angry Hyuga, his black eyes looking at the Hyuga’s lavender eyes as if he was waiting for him to say or do something. Tsuyo instead just scowled at him before pushing past Yosuki to head home while Yosuki looked over and Katsumi and shrugged his shoulders. Katsumi and Yosuki stayed at the grassy fields for a while longer, lying down as they looked up at the sky and talked about how the training went. Katsumi asked where he had learned that Jutsu to which Yosuki looked over at her and placed an index finger to his lips, indicating he wouldn’t tell her. Truthfully during his free time, he had read about the Uchiha Clan from the Kusagakure library and that ability was something the Clan was known for having; when he asked if his father knew the technique, his father said he did and decided to help him learn and train it. She laughed and pushed him lightly at his answer before lying there with him in silence as a breeze went past them, causing the grass to sway with the wind. A little while later, the two parted ways to head home for the day.

<p class="MsoNormal">Three years went by, with Yosuki turning 16 before his team would partake in the Grass Village’s Chunin Exams; something he was told used to involve numerous Villages joining to test their shinobi against shinobi from other Villages with the end result being shinobi being promoted to Chunin rank, but this would be exclusive to Kusagakure. The years leading up to him turning 16 were rather boring to him as it was usually training or going on non-high ranking missions with their Sensei, but he enjoyed them all the while. Everyone’s cooperation was on par on the team outside of Yosuki and Tsuyo; unfortunately, for whatever reason, Tsuyo refused to do much with the Uchiha. Yosuki had gotten a bit taller now and his black hair had grown a little longer now, enough for him to tie his black hair in a ponytail like his father except that Yosuki’s was a bit longer; he had also become stronger physically, mentally and skill wise due to training and experiences with the missions and his teammates. Tsuyo and he still had an odd friendship, if some could call it that, with Tsuyo still not liking the Uchiha and with the Uchiha just letting him do whatever he did for whatever his reasons were.

<p class="MsoNormal">Two weeks before the Kusagakure Exams, Yosuki’s team was sent on a C-rank mission, something that confused the trio and Manabu to a degree given how close it was to the Exams, but they all eventually got over it. Their mission was to head to a small town to rid them of a mob that had become a very big issue for the town. Before he left for that mission, he was also informed that his parents were going to be having another child and that he was going to be an older brother soon. Though he wasn’t able to respond quickly to the news, he acknowledged them and went with his team on the mission; it took his team about 2 days to get to the location, but once they arrived, they spoke with the leader of the town who seemed to be very concerned about if this would work or not. Manabu told the three of them that they’d take shifts in turn and that the first shift would fall upon Yosuki and Tsuyo, to which Yosuki raised an eyebrow at and the Hyuga sighed quietly at.

<p class="MsoNormal">As the night fell, Yosuki and Tsuyo sat upon a rooftop of a merchant shop overseeing the town as everyone went in for the night. Yosuki glanced over at Tsuyo, who was very visibly trying to ignore his being there before he sighed and asked Tsuyo what his deal was. Tsuyo didn’t answer so Yosuki decided to explain in further detail, asking him why he didn’t like him; Yosuki had gotten over the punch he’d given him at the Academy and the resentment Tsuyo obviously held for him. Tsuyo looked at the Uchiha and told him to shut up while they were on patrol. Yosuki sighed before lying his back down on the rooftop as he gazed towards the star filled sky, the moon shining brightly above their head. For some reason, Yosuki doing this annoyed him as he quickly grabbed Yosuki’s shirt and yanked him up to where he was sitting again before Yosuki pushed him away, asking him what that was for. Tsuyo glared at the Uchiha before asking why he insisted on bothering him, to which Yosuki scoffed and rolled his eyes at, responding with a “whatever”. Tsuyo sighed before he turned his head away from Yosuki, mumbling something underneath his breath at the Uchiha. Yosuki looked at him before he told him to either speak up or shut up, to which the Hyuga glared back at him for; Yosuki wasn’t in the mood to deal with Tsuyo’s moodiness. Tsuyo glared before turning his gaze down slightly and telling Yosuki that he had liked Katsumi for a while and that Yosuki was there all the time and she was already on sort of steady terms with her ever since he came around. Yosuki blinked and asked if he had at least told her about it, to which Tsuyo scoffed and told him no. Yosuki shrugged his shoulders and told him to try it at a good time and see how it goes. Tsuyo looked at him and asked if he liked Katsumi as well, to which Yosuki shrugged his shoulders slightly. Honestly, he’d never really given much thought to it or even had time to at the rate he was going at; she was, in all rights, his only friend and she’d stuck through with him for many years now. Tsuyo was about to speak again before he noticed a group of people walking down the streets before knocking on a door rather loudly, causing Yosuki to reach and grab a kunai while Tsuyo readied himself for a fight. After the knocking commenced and no one answered the door, the door was quickly kicked in; what the group didn’t realize was that inside of the home were Manabu and Katsumi waiting for them. Unfortunately for the group of men, they realized their mistake too soon before Tsuyo and Yosuki surrounded them, blocking off their immediate retreat points. While they did have to fight the mob for a little bit, they were quickly subdued by all four of the ninja.

<p class="MsoNormal">After successfully capturing them and resolving the rest of the mission with the town’s leader, the group left for the Village again, though this time they took a more relaxed pace on their way back. As they walked during the day, Yosuki and Katsumi would walk alongside each other, either speaking about something or stay in silence; the times they were talking though, he always caught Tsuyo looking over his shoulder at them. This might have been to the fact that he’d told Yosuki his big secret and he was nervous that he’d tell Katsumi. Eventually they made it back to Kusagakure, thankfully without any issue, before Manabu told his team to go home and get some rest while he went to go turn in their mission.

<p class="MsoNormal">The trio parted ways and went home to do as their Sensei had told them to, knowing that they’d all need to rest and train for the upcoming Exams. They’d only met up as a unit once more and that was a day before the Exams, with their Sensei treating them out to eat so they could speak of their upcoming event. Manabu told the trio that no matter what happened the next day, whether they were promoted to Chunin rank or not, he’d be proud of them; which, after a brief moment of silence and smile from their Sensei, he stated that if they didn’t do their best, he’d train them until they dropped. The three all had different responses to the threat; Katsumi choked slightly on her drink, causing her to cough, Yosuki smirked and patted his friend on the back to help her with her coughing fit and Tsuyo eyed his Sensei with a combination of ‘yeah right’ and a look of extreme worry.

<p class="MsoNormal">On the day of the Exams, Katsumi pulled Yosuki off to the side to speak privately with him, though he wasn’t sure why; she looked concerned about something regardless. She told him that Tsuyo had told her that he liked her and that she appreciated it and was flattered, but she didn’t feel the same way towards him as she only viewed him as a friend. Yosuki mentally sighed at his teammate’s foolishness, telling her on the most stressful day of their collective lives so far was not the brightest idea. Tsuyo wasn’t stupid: often times brash and hot-tempered, but stupid wasn’t a word he’d used to describe his teammate. Although at that time, Yosuki couldn’t say he hadn’t done something illogical. Yosuki simply responded by telling her to not worry about it and that at least they both understood where they stood with one another and that she needed to keep her focus on the Exams today. Later during the Exams, as the other participants watched from a high viewing platform, Katsumi had been chosen to fight Tsuyo during the semi-finals, something Yosuki thought he’d end up having to do. The fights so far varied in terms of who fought who; some fights were hard hitting and intense while others were a bit slow and depended more on strategic moves than brute force. Yosuki knew he’d get far in the Exams, but he didn’t fully expect to make it almost to the finals. As he watched the fight continue, he saw Katsumi doing better than most of the others around him expected as she earned surprised gasps and remarks from the others watching with Yosuki. The Uchiha kept quiet as his eyes intensely watched the fight continue on, noting that both of his teammates were getting tired; this was all taking place in a day with breaks in between fights to give fighters a respite and to regain some energy and chakra. Tsuyo eventually ended up knocking Katsumi down with his Taijutsu abilities, causing Katsumi to curl up slightly and raise her hands to avoid the attacks from the Hyuga; something that made Yosuki’s eyes narrow slightly given that he knew Tsuyo knew he’d won at that point. The proctor of the fight called for him to get off and that the fight was over, but Tsuyo just kept attacking her bringing down attack after attack; even Katsumi was struggling to yell for him to get off of her. Yosuki’s body left the sidelines before the proctor could even make his way towards Tsuyo; as soon as his feet touched the ground, Yosuki sprinted towards his teammates. Once he was in striking distance, Yosuki dropkicked Tsuyo away from Katsumi, landing on his back before quickly making it back to his feet and standing protectively in front of Katsumi before drawing a kunai in his hand. Tsuyo wasted no time in returning to his feet before he moved forward to charge at him, though he quickly halted in his place. Unbeknownst to Yosuki, his black eyes had turned into crimson blood red with a single black tomoe circling the black irises of his eyes as Yosuki’s Sharingan eyes activated. Tsuyo didn’t move at all as Yosuki’s eyes glared intently at him, as if he was waiting for the Hyuga to make another mistake.

<p class="MsoNormal">The proctor began to scold Yosuki before Manabu landed in front of the ninja, telling him to back off and let him handle it. Upon hearing his Sensei’s voice, Tsuyo blinked and turned to look at him, giving him a look of confusion as to what he was doing in his fight. He turned his gaze back to Yosuki before looking at Katsumi on the ground, her arms visibly threatening to bruise as she lay curled up with her body shaking slightly and his eyes widened as if he was in shock; Yosuki couldn’t tell if he was faking it or if the act was sincere and honestly in that moment, he didn’t care. Manabu gave the Hyuga a scolding look before quickly rushing over to help Katsumi; though once Manabu was next to her, Yosuki turned his back towards the Hyuga and began to help Katsumi stand up and use them for support. She stated that she couldn’t feel her arms that much and Manabu quickly scooped her up before telling Yosuki to get ready for his next fight before taking his friend off to the infirmary to get her checked out. The young Uchiha turned his gaze towards Tsuyo, giving the Hyuga a glare this time instead of the other way around, while Tsuyo just stood there and looked down before Yosuki heard the proctor state that the winner of the fight was Tsuyo Hyuga. After the announcement of the winner was made, no one in the attending audience made a single noise.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next fight Yosuki was in, still unaware of his awakened eye, got a bit frustrated as it seemed that his timing was off; it was as if he was seeing everything faster and he could feel his body become more stressed to keep up with it. Eventually though, he was able to get the knockout blow on his opponent, though the strike didn’t come easily before the proctor announced Yosuki the winner; the finals were to be Tsuyo and Yosuki, causing his Sharingan to deactivate in the process. After hearing that a small break would take place, Yosuki went to find his Sensei and ask how Katsumi was. Manabu stated that she was stable and that she was being looked at, but that he should keep his attention on his final fight. During that time as well, Yosuki had finally started to question what power he felt and why he had been seeing things that threw off his timing; the activation hadn’t gone unnoticed, but when he felt the surge, his primary concern was for Katsumi’s safety. Almost upon instinct alone, he willed that power back and when he did, the power came with it; it was almost like it was an on and off switch that he could control. He would need to ask his parents about what was going on after the Exams, but he needed to focus on the upcoming fight.

<p class="MsoNormal">When the fight was declared to begin, Yosuki’s Sharingan activated almost instantly as he wasted little time in closing the distance between himself and the Hyuga, quickly tackling him to the ground and beginning to punch the Hyuga, to which the Hyuga merely lifted his arms up out of pure instinct as Yosuki continued to attack his teammate. Yosuki stopped as he raised his fist, ready to strike again when he realized that aside from a few sporadic and weak punches thrown from the Hyuga, that all Tsuyo was doing was blocking his attacks and nothing else; the action didn’t go unnoticed as Yosuki angrily asked him why he wasn’t fighting back. In an annoyed, yet oddly defeated tone, the Hyuga responded that he deserved it after what he’d done to Katsumi and to just hurry up and get it over with, to which the Uchiha’s eyes narrowed in anger before stating he agreed. Tsuyo looked at the Uchiha’s fist still hanging in the air as he prepared himself for the punches and strikes that would never come as he felt Yosuki's weight move away from him, causing his eyes to widen in confusion. Yosuki just looked down at him after he stood up, his now black eyes meeting the Hyuga’s lavender pale eyes before he stated that Tsuyo did deserve to be punished for what he’d done to her, but he wasn’t going to do it just to make it easy on the Hyuga. He glanced over at the proctor before placing his hands in his pockets and began to walk off towards the exit. When the proctor asked him where he was going, he simply turned his head to gaze at the older man and stated that he wasn’t going to fight an opponent that wasn’t even going to strike back and that he was more concerned for how his teammate was, so he was leaving. The proctor looked at him bewildered before sighing and nodding at the Uchiha, signaling for him to leave before stating that Tsuyo would win by forfeit. The groans of disapproval were heard from the onlookers as they were very audibly and visibly upset by the end result; but none more so than Tsuyo, who was very visibly angry at the Uchiha.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The day after the Exams were over, Manabu visited Katsumi and Yosuki at the infirmary, relieved to see that Katsumi had suffered heavy bruising on her arms, almost where they were to the point of being broken; she only stated that it was better than her arms being actually broken. Manabu stated that the results of who had made Chunin were announced and he was happy to say that Katsumi and Yosuki had made the rank, causing an excited gasp to escape from Katsumi and earned a very confused look from Yosuki. He asked why he was promoted when he had just left the fight, something he hadn’t told Katsumi about, and Manabu answered that the Exams weren’t about just winning or losing; it mattered what you did there. He continued on with stating that the Exams were a simple matter of seeing whether or not a shinobi was ready to take the next step up from Genin to Chunin and they both passed the test. Katsumi was hesitant, but she eventually asked if Tsuyo made the same rank, to which Manabu simply shook his head. When asked why, Manabu responded with ‘he wasn’t ready’, though Yosuki could swear there was more to it, but didn’t bring it up. After Katsumi was released from the infirmary just a few days later, she was told to give herself time to heal, meaning no training or missions until the doctors cleared her.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yosuki kept busy though, mentioning on the day of his promotion to his parents of what transpired during those days. His parents were both proud of him and congratulated him on the win, his mother quickly leaving the room to get ready for an impromptu celebration they were going to head to. Before his father could leave, Yosuki asked if he could speak with him privately, to which his father nodded. He explained to him about what he felt that day of the Exams and even showed his father what he felt, though he was still unaware of the eye change, to which his father’s eyebrows shot up in surprise before a smirk fell upon his lips. His father instructed him to follow him, which Yosuki did before finding himself standing in front of a mirror, looking at his own crimson eyes in confusion. He asked what was going on before his father answered that he’d awoken something the Uchiha were known for having called the Sharingan. Yosuki asked what it did and his father answered as best he could by saying that he knew it would enhance the user’s perception and reflexes, as if they be able to anticipate what would happen next and that they could even hypnotize others with its influence like a Genjutsu, but that was all he knew. Yosuki asked if that was their potential, but his father simply stated that he didn’t know; that his Sharingan had developed after the deaths of Yosuki’s grandparents at a young age and that what he learned was mostly self-taught, that he himself didn’t know the limitations to the eyes. Yosuki glanced at his eyes and mentally joked about why Sho called him a ‘demon’ before when he was younger before he deactivated the eyes. He asked his father if his mother knew anything about the eye, to which his father stated that her eyes never made it past the first tomoe and that she was probably just as clueless as he was. The last question to pass Yosuki’s lips were how his father knew of all of this if he wasn’t a shinobi, to which his father smirked and told him that he was once a ninja, but chose to give up that life when he found out a certain woman named Shizuka was pregnant with their baby. Yosuki smirked at his father’s comment before hearing his mother call for the both of them to hurry up so they could leave; Yosuki’s father told Yosuki to tell his mother of his eyes at dinner as they left to go to the improved celebration.

<p class="MsoNormal">Weeks passed after that day, with Yosuki training with his Sharingan more, getting a better feel for it as well as advancing its maturation; he noticed that after several intense training with his Sensei, his Sharingan gained a second tomoe in each eye. His other teammates were still unaware of his eyes, though he planned on telling Katsumi about it soon and neither he nor Katsumi had seen their Hyuga teammate since the finals of the Exams. It was a little over a month before Katsumi was cleared by the doctors to return to her active shinobi duties, rejoining with Manabu and Yosuki in training; they had to take it a bit slower though as to ease her arms back into training and being used to such an extent once more. The rest of the year passed with their team being short one man, but they continued on and survived numerous missions without him. As the year went on, Yosuki’s black hair grew longer where it reached the middle of his back, making him tie his hair into a ponytail daily; he noticed his hair was naturally spiky, so even in a ponytail the hair gave off such an appearance. His Sharingan was developing well, or at least so he thought, as the missions and training sessions continued on. There had been days where he could go and do whatever, finding an odd lack of missions some days, but he’d usually just go and relax away from everyone in the Village. The only exception to that rule was Katsumi, but she had begun to become busier and busier as she was training to become a medical ninja.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next two years were a bit fuzzy to Yosuki as time began to speed up as the missions began to increase out of nowhere due to his rank. Nothing much had changed between Katsumi, Manabu and Yosuki outside of Yosuki turning 18 years old. The only thing that concerned them for a while was where Tsuyo was, but every time they mentioned it, Manabu just said not to worry about it and that he was fine. Eventually, the two friends just figured that he had been moved to another squad and didn’t want to see them again or something along those lines. Katsumi had improved on being a medic, though often times she still struggled with some of the techniques and lessons they were going over, but overall Yosuki thought she was doing just fine. Yosuki’s training remained the same mostly, though he never felt the rare surge of power from his body to indicate that another of his tomoe had been unlocked for his Sharingan eyes, but he didn’t worry too much on it; he figured the final evolution of his eyes would come when the time was right. The missions he’d done varied depending on what was assigned to him, be it helping a local merchant with something or going to patrol the Village border. He hadn’t seen much of his Sensei or Katsumi at some point, figuring he would see them only in passing; he was prepared for that though after some point.

<p class="MsoNormal">After turning 19, Yosuki was informed that a Village was accepting other members in; with the name Baragakure being its name. Somehow the Villager was never mentioned before, but the notion interested Yosuki before he went to go speak to the Kage of the Village, asking if it was alright for him to be transferred to Baragakure later down the line; the Kage was a bit confused as to why, but he stated that if he wished to do that, then it was fine. Yosuki informed his parents shortly after his meeting with the Kage of the Village, though his father took the news better than his mother did; it wasn’t like he was leaving the next day. Yosuki understood that he’d end up having to leave both of his parents alone with his little brother Adasu, but he knew the both of them could handle the infant. The next day he told his Sensei and Katsumi about his transferring away from them, both very visibly shocked and upset, but they both took it relatively well. That day, Manabu asked for a one on one spar with Yosuki alone, but he didn’t expect for his teacher to go all out on him. By the end of the fight, Yosuki had expended most of his chakra and was visibly weary, but he kept fighting until his Sensei finally knocked him out. He woke up in a white room, making him question if he was dead before looking over to see his Sensei asleep in a chair. He thought that it would be a cruel way to spend an eternity if his Sensei was just going to beat him up every day, but his deluded thoughts were negated when he saw the IV connected to his arm. He very painfully threw a pillow at his Sensei, causing him to wince in pain before seeing his Sensei scramble to his feet; he looked like a ghost just came by and slapped him. He asked him what happened before his Sensei told him that he knocked him out and that he’d achieved his goal for him, which made Yosuki ask what that was. Manabu simply smiled at the ninja before saying that he wanted to make sure that he could handle himself now on his own since he was planning to leave the Village in place of another one. He then sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and said that he might've gone a bit overboard with it, to which Yosuki laughed painfully at before answering with 'ya think?' and that was enough to cause a laugh to come from his Sensei as well.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">After a week passed, he was cleared fully from the hospital, but the doctor did recommend that he take it easy for a while. A few months after he was released from the hospital and had returned to active shinobi duty regularly, one day he received a solo S-rank mission, causing him to leave the Village, though he was really unsure as to why he was getting such a high ranking mission. The mission was described that a medium-sized group of rogue ninjas and bandits, the ninja mostly known as Jounin level, were roaming near Kusagakure and the mission wanted him to do some reconnaissance to see what they were up to, though he was told not to engage them in combat for the fear of being outnumbered. He quickly went to his mission after receiving it, heading to the known coordinates of where they were rumored to be; somewhere in his mind, he questioned why he was being sent on what he saw a suicide mission. By the time he arrived, it was nightfall and a small campfire was the only thing that was around for the group. He saw no one was there, causing him to quickly rush in and check if anything they had on them would be useful. He found the usual things for surviving like food and water canteens, but nothing out of the ordinary. However, upon closer inspection he found a map of the land, with a red circle where Kusagakure was at, with a message written in red: ‘TOO LATE’ was written on it. Yosuki’s eyes widened before he quickly dropped it and ran towards his Village once more with a thousand thoughts running through his mind. How did they know that the Village knew and how’d they know he was going to be there that? He didn’t think anyone else knew about the group and he didn’t mention his mission to anyone, so no one could’ve snitched and told any passerby. When he came to the Village, the shinobi were already holding off the invaders throughout the streets as Yosuki raced towards some of the attackers were getting past a few other shinobi. The trio seemed to be heading towards his home, something that caused his Sharingan to activate as he thought of his family being attacked before he reached for a kunai. As they got closer to his home, he did notice they were going towards his home, though he didn’t know why. Right as he was about to catch up with them, a bandit landed in front of him and got his attention as he began to wildly swing a sword at him. Yosuki’s Sharingan quickly helped him determine the enemy’s movements, as random as they were, and Yosuki quickly dispatched of the man by hitting him on the back of his neck with the end of his kunai, making him fall to the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal">He chased after the attackers once again, finding them already inside of his home, but found a corpse of bandit in their home, so that left only two more remained. He quickly called out for his parents before running outside to their backyard before feeling someone hit his back with a heavy object, causing him to fall down on the ground. When he tried to get back up, he felt a heavy foot land on his back, keeping him pinned down as he felt hands keep his arms pinned in front of him so he couldn’t use them to get up. He looked over to see a bandit holding his hands down and looked over his shoulder to see who was holding his back down with their foot. His eyes widened as he looked at the lavender pale eyes of Tsuyo, who was just glaring at the Uchiha before looking causing Yosuki to look over. His red eyes widened as he saw a rogue ninja standing over his injured father, holding a knife to his throat while his mother was holding Yosuki’s brother in her arms, trying to shield the infant from seeing; he did notice that his father’s eyes were shut tightly. He wondered in a brief thought why his father wasn’t fighting back; he knew his Sharingan was just as strong as his was, so why wasn’t he able to fight off the rogue? Yosuki yelled out ‘why’ at Tsuyo, who just looked at him before answering the outburst.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tsuyo said that everything in his life was going just fine before he showed up in the Village and that everything that had happened to him after the Exams was because of Yosuki. He said that he’d been great friends with everyone, Katsumi included until she started to hang around with him more often; that’s when he began developing a strong distaste for the Uchiha. He blamed Yosuki for his rage that day, that if he hadn’t listened to his advice, none of this would’ve happened. He mentioned that the Hyuga Clan prided themselves on holding honor and respect in the highest regard, something he was sure Yosuki knew nothing about; that it had been hammered into his mind and moral code since the day he was capable of understanding the meaning of the words. He stated that he knew what he did to Katsumi was wrong, but he blamed Yosuki’s advice for the actions that caused it; that everything had been just fine before he showed up. He said knew his hatred and disgust for the Uchiha had consumed him, but he didn’t care and that all he wanted was to let Yosuki know what he had gone through; he stated that he didn’t want to involve his family, but he wanted to make Yosuki pay for ‘ruining his life’. Yosuki did make mention of something as Tsuyo spoke: while the words leaving his mouth were meant to be venomous, and they did their job of doing so fully, he also could hear sorrow tremble in his voice. Yosuki wasn’t aware of what had happened to him after the Chunin Exams, but that still didn’t give him the right to blame him for everything in his life going wrong. Apparently Tsuyo noticed this too before a small growl escaped his lips before he stomped his foot into Yosuki’s back and dug his heel deeper into his lower back, causing Yosuki to groan in pain before Yosuki heard the Hyuga’s voice again. He said that he could’ve accepted losing to him in the Exam finals, that he could at least have faced his family with some dignity that, even though he lost, that he had still made it as far as he did; but everyone knew that Yosuki left him there and by doing so he was saying he wasn’t worth beating by walking away and that was the final nail in the coffin. He went on to say that he was the one who sent the mission to the Kage under a false name and had specifically asked for Yosuki to take on the mission; everything was his plan. He said that after the Exams, his family couldn’t bear the shame of him winning the Exams, but being denied the rank of Chunin, hearing about what he’d done to his own teammate in the fight, and the fact that Yosuki had left him to win by pity; not to mention that they scolded him daily afterwards because of it. He also made mention that the Kage removed him from being an active shinobi for months due to his actions and that caused his family to eventually shun him. Shortly after that, the Kage kept him on low ranking missions with a ban from interacting with his team or teammates again until he was properly given Chunin rank later on down the road, though it was not given so easily.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yosuki’s eyes glared at Tsuyo as he blamed him for everything, something he didn’t even remotely agree with. He yelled back that he told him to tell Katsumi when the time was right, that he didn’t mean to spill his guts out on the most stressful day for the Village as a whole and of their lives at that point. He went on to say that every mistake that he made was his to own up to and to take responsibility for and that Yosuki had nothing to do with his slip-ups; that he should have owned up to his mistakes and learned from them instead of blaming everyone but himself. That caught the Hyuga off guard as he just stood there in silence; he even looked a bit shocked as if he’d never thought about it before, not to mention that he’d never heard Yosuki raise his voice. Tsuyo scoffed at the Uchiha before he simply nodded at the rogue ninja as if giving him a signal, to which the rogue grinned deviously at before reaching his arm down and placed his hand on the elder Uchiha’s forehead before using their index and pinky fingers to forcefully pull open the closed eyelids. Instead of seeing his father’s black obsidian eyes, he saw only the bloody insides of his father’s sockets, causing Yosuki’s eyes to widen at the sight, but out of his shock he could tell his father was doing his best to turn his gaze away, but to no avail. It was only then did the rogue move their kunai ever so slightly for Yosuki’s eyes to catch another object in his hand alongside the weapon: a pair of bloody eyes. Yosuki’s mind shut down for a moment in stunned silence before hearing Tsuyo talking to him about how patient some ninja were and that they were very good at blending into the background. He told the shocked Uchiha that they’d knocked his father out before this all began, knowing he’d be an issue and removed the eyes from his skull and that after that, it was all a matter of locking his chakra system up; he said that the eyes would be valuable to the rogue ninja. The rogue finally closed his father’s eyes, but it didn’t matter much; Yosuki’s mouth or mind wouldn’t respond at Tsuyo’s words as the shock was still coursing through him before Tsuyo’s silence finally broke with him telling the rogue to kill Satoshi, to which the rogue nodded his head at, as if though he’d been waiting for a while to do it. That finally snapped Yosuki out of his shock before trying to move to help his father, but found that he was unable to due to both Tsuyo and the bandit keeping him down.

<p class="MsoNormal">A flash appeared before Yosuki as he saw Tsuyo get knocked off of him, but the bandit who was holding Yosuki’s arms down quickly mounted his back to keep him pinned to the ground; he also had placed a kunai at his throat to still any movements. Yosuki saw the ninja that had taken down Tsuyo was Katsumi and that she was visibly angry at her former teammate before she switched her attention to the rogue ninja who was holding his father hostage. Katsumi moved to attack the rogue before Yosuki saw Tsuyo move out of the corner of his eye; he called out to her to watch out, but it was a second too late. Time seemed to move in slow motion as he saw Tsuyo stab a kunai through the back of Katsumi after a one had already impaled the middle of her back, hindering her ability to move and distracting her from the rogue before the blade in the Hyuga’s hands aimed for the heart as the rogue slit his father’s throat, causing the ground to quickly become stained with red. Katsumi’s body stood still before she fell to her knees, but Tsuyo quickly plunged the blade deeper into her back, causing her to fall face-first into the ground; during all of this Yosuki had reflexively let out a scream of anguish and anger during the whole scene before him. Yosuki quickly felt a surge of power rush through him as he snapped out of his shocked state, forgetting about the kunai as he quickly shot up, causing the bandit on his back to fall off<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;"> and drop his weapon, which Yosuki quickly picked up. Once he was on his feet, he quickly ran over to Tsuyo and stabbed the kunai into his shoulder before pulling the blade out once again and making a dead sprint towards the rogue who had just killed his father. He wasn’t thinking clearly as he tackled the rogue ninja to the ground, avoiding the random slashes with the kunai the ninja held; apparently his behavior had momentarily startled the rogue, hence why the rogue was reacting oddly. At the moment, he hadn’t felt a new strain of power surge through him as not only did the third tomoe of his Sharingan activate, maturing it fully, but the severe trauma of seeing his father and best friend dying before him also made his eyes change. Now instead of the three tomoe of his crimson red Sharingan being there, his Mangenkyo Sharingan was activated; but due to the events going on at the moment, the change was subtly noticed, but not enough to distract him. Yosuki quickly knocked the kunai out of the rogue ninja’s hands and shoved the blade of the kunai he’d already been holding into the chest of the rogue; glaring intensely in anger as he pushed the blade in as far as it could go before he saw the man stop moving. During the scuffle the ninja had dropped Yosuki’s father’s eyes on the ground near him. His attention immediately turned to Tsuyo, who was holding his bleeding shoulder as he looked as if though he was getting ready to retreat. Yosuki quickly ran towards the man and tried to tackle him to the ground, which was negated as Tsuyo just pushed him off. The remaining bandit tried to sneak attack Yosuki before the Uchiha swiftly turned and kicked him in the stomach off of instinct alone and pushed the man’s head against the outside of his house as hard as he could. The impact caused a loud thump before the man fell to the ground quickly; now Yosuki’s full attention was on Tsuyo. Yosuki didn’t feel his body shaking with rage, his mind was on overdrive and his limbs seemed to be acting on their own. The Hyuga and the Uchiha glared at each other before they both ran towards one another as they began to exchange blow after blow. Tsuyo’s fighting style was still unfamiliar to Yosuki, but Yosuki noticed that Tsuyo wasn’t able to land any effective blows due to his shoulder injury. After a short exchange of punches, Tsuyo knocked back Yosuki onto the ground with what felt like the wind had just punched him in the face, quickly lunging on him before attempting to strangle the Uchiha, telling him through clenched teeth to ‘just die already’. Yosuki’s first instinct was to try and pry his hands away, but his eyes quickly shot to the still bleeding shoulder before he threw a punch towards Tsuyo’s bicep, the pain which shot through Tsuyo’s entire arm. The pain was too much as Tsuyo released his grip on the Uchiha’s throat, allowing Yosuki to push him off. Once he was on his feet, Yosuki quickly reached for a shuriken and threw it at the Hyuga’s other shoulder, though this was just a distraction. The shuriken missed as Tsuyo moved out of the way quickly before Yosuki was able to quickly move behind him with a kunai in his right hand. Tsuyo quickly spun to face him before Yosuki shoved the blade right above Tsuyo’s chest, with Yosuki panting slightly from the exchange before Tsuyo’s wide marble-like eyes just stared at Yosuki’s blood red Sharingan eyes. Tsuyo remained still and silent before Yosuki looked him in the eyes and told him, with the venom of rage dripping from each word: “Drop dead”. Yosuki pushed his former teammate away from him until Tsuyo’s body hit the ground motionless. Time seemed to pass by slowly as he looked over at his mother, who was crying violently over his father’s unmoving body before he looked over at his long-time friend’s still body and finally his gaze caught a glimpse at all of the blood and bodies lying around. His mind quickly began to take in everything that had just happened and what was going on like a slow-moving movie replay in his mind, his body felt exhausted and unwilling to move, his vision became blurry as his Sharingan deactivated, he heard faint voices approach as the eyes deactivated before everything went black for him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yosuki woke up with his head aching and with his vision starting off being blurry before his eyes focused as he saw a white room, causing him to look around to find he was in the hospital. He moved slightly to sit up before finding resistance on his wrist not allowing him to move. He glanced over at his wrist only to find it cuffed to the bedside, making his obsidian eyes narrow in confusion as he wondered why he was cuffed to the bed. As if on cue, a nurse walked in the room to meet an awakened and confused Uchiha before freezing in place and calling for someone. She exited the room only to be replaced by the Kage and a man he’d never seen before with the unknown man closing the door behind the both of them. The Kage was cautious about his approach, not getting too close to the young Uchiha before asking him how he was doing. As if the question was a cue for something, all of the memories flooded back into his mind of the previous night: seeing his father and best friend die before his own eyes, Tsuyo’s betrayal, the anger that was even now beginning to swell inside of him at the thought of him, the look of pure despair on his mother’s face. His face turned from one of confusion to anger and then to depression within a few short seconds. Yosuki was silent before the Kage took a step closer to the young Uchiha before stating that he was so very sorry for his losses and that if there was anything he could do for the man, that all he’d to do was ask. He then let the silence fill the room for a moment before sighing and stating that he was going to need Yosuki to undergo a psychological examination by the ninja he’d brought in the room beside him. Yosuki absentmindedly nodded his head in agreement as he let everything continue to soak in from the previous night: the agony and rage he’d felt, the awful sight of his dead friend and father lying on the ground before him, the agonizing sobs that came from both his mother and infant brother, the unbearable sense of immense loss and the guilt that he hadn’t acted quickly enough to save those he wanted to protect. He idly felt a hand place itself upon the top of his head as the psych ninja as he felt an odd sensation throughout his mind, like someone was prodding and poking around in his brain. He didn’t like the feeling of someone going around in his head, but he knew he wasn’t in any condition to try and detach away from the unknown ninja.

<p class="MsoNormal">After a few moments he felt the hand move away from his head before looking to see the ninja whisper something to the Kage, to which he simply nodded before moving to a corner of the room and taking a seat while the other ninja sat in front of Yosuki and told him that he was going to ask him a few questions, which made Yosuki blink in confusion before nodding his head. The questions ranged from how he felt to what he remembered, but the one question he remembered most was why he felt so weird. When asked what he meant by that by Yosuki, the psychological ninja told him that he when he was searching around in his mind, he felt Yosuki feeling a subconscious confliction of both trauma and uncertainty. Yosuki responded by saying that he figured that’d be normal, to which the elder ninja sighed and simply told Yosuki that he’d murdered a ninja and a bandit last night; in the midst of everything that was going on, his brain hadn’t put that at the front of his mind. Yosuki fell silent for a moment before realizing that was what the interrogator was asking about. Sure, he felt justified in killing his former teammate and the other bandit, but for the time he’d been alive he’d never killed anyone; he’d always subdue them or knock them out. He opened his mouth to speak while his mind tried to make up the words of a coherent sentence, but the anger quickly surged through him as his head replayed everything once more. Yosuki closed his mouth once more before he simply asked if he was free to go home now and that he wanted to check on his mother and younger brother. The interrogator gave him a look before telling him to answer him, that it was a way of figuring out if his psyche was in check or if he needed to take drastic measures to help his mind again. Yosuki looked at the man before telling the older man that his family was his priority at the moment before the elder man yelled at Yosuki to answer him. Yosuki instinctively yelled back that he didn’t know how to feel, something that caused the elder man to back away slightly. Yosuki quietly sighed before asking if he could leave, tugging at the restraint on his wrist. The Kage stood from his chair and unlocked the restraints, telling Yosuki to go check on his family, but he did need to come back to get a proper psychological exam as soon as possible. Yosuki simply agreed before moving away from the bedside, placing on his shinobi sandals and racing out the door to his home.

<p class="MsoNormal">After a few short minutes, Yosuki made it home to find his mother cradling a sleeping Adasu in her arms, noting her eyes were heavy and bloodshot, making Yosuki believe that she hadn’t slept the night. He noticed that their home had been cleaned, as if nothing had happened to this place, though he wasn’t sure when this took place. Yosuki went over to his mother before she shot him an exhausted and sad small smile before Yosuki took his infant brother from his mother and went to place him in his room. When he came back, he went over to his mother and apologized for what happened last night, saying that he should’ve done more and acted sooner than he did. Shizuka gave him a look before lightly placing her knuckles against her son’s forehead in a slight bump motion, making Yosuki give her a confused look. She told Yosuki to not blame himself for what happened, however he might at fault he might feel at the moment. She went on to state that she wished that what happened didn’t, but it couldn’t be stopped now and that they would need to eventually make peace with it. Yosuki gave his mother a confusingly shocked look at how calm she was about everything right now, maybe her brain was just on autopilot. He asked his mother why she wasn’t upset about what had happened and he quickly realized that was the wrong question. His mother’s gaze grew stern before asking him to repeat the question better, which made Yosuki immediately apologize and ask how she was taking everything so well; inwardly, he wasn’t sure if that was a better way of saying it, but he hoped it was. Shizuka’s face softened before she told him that she was used to death as she used to be a shinobi, something Yosuki never knew about; she joked and asked him where he thought she met her father at upon seeing his shocked face. She stated that she had to see numerous comrades fall in battle to others and she had to end lives when she was an active shinobi as well; though seeing Yosuki’s father fall was something she never thought she’d have to see after they both left their role as shinobi. She spoke that she was dealing with it quietly, but she was eventually hoping to make peace with his father’s passing, something she advised for himself to do as well; both for his father and Katsumi. She told him that it didn’t need to be done overnight, but he needed to do it and move past it in order to maintain his normal life. Yosuki gave his mother a confused look, asking why she was just telling him to get over it; to which his mother cupped her hand over his mouth to silence him for a moment. When Yosuki made no move to speak, she removed her hand from his mouth and told him that she wasn’t telling him to get over it, but instead to grieve over the loss of them, but make his peace with their passing; that mourning them forever wouldn’t bring them back and it could haunt his mind forever. She said that he should always keep the memories of his loved ones with him and never lose them, but never to let them consume who he is or he’d end up chasing shadows or becoming someone he wasn’t. Yosuki and his mother sat in silence for a moment before his mother stood up from the couch, telling Yosuki that she was going to go sleep for a while before making her way to her bedroom, leaving Yosuki alone in the living room by himself. Yosuki thought about the events again, this time allowing his mind and body to react accordingly to the events and as the scenes replayed themselves, the emotions he felt were ever-shifting. He found himself feeling a sense of panic and uncertainty, wincing at the memory of a heavy object hitting him on the back, the rage he felt when he figured out the culprit of the problem, the sadness he’d felt over remembering his fallen friend and father and the absolute fury he’d felt when he went after the bandit and Tsuyo and he even mumbled the words ‘drop dead’ when the scene replayed itself in his mind. He’d never killed anyone before, but he hadn’t even flinched at the notion of doing it to Tsuyo; he supposed it was something he’d done by reaction and in the moment. He ended up feeling emotionally and physically drained at the end of it once more, deciding to go to his room and rest for the remainder of the day.

<p class="MsoNormal">The next day Yosuki went to the Kage of the Village, asking if he could have the psychological exam done, wanting to get it over and done with. The Kage obliged and sent him to talk to the man who interrogated him the previous day. The man and Yosuki spoke more in detail about what happened, how he felt, if anything had changed; all of which Yosuki responded with calmly. Honestly, he was a bit unsure of how he felt; he didn’t feel happy at all, but he was doing his best to not be flat out depressed. By the end of the meeting, the man instructed him to visit him a week from the day as he wanted to check up on him once a week for a while; Yosuki didn’t mind it though seeing that the Kage had taken him off of active duty for a while. He learned on later in the day from his mother that Satoshi’s eyes had been retrieved and taken care of by her and that he didn’t need to worry about them; he did ask what she meant by that, but she simply kept responding with telling him not to worry about it. As the weeks passed, Yosuki ended up visiting the burial site to visit the graves of Katsumi and his father on certain days. He’d often just sit there for a while, reminiscing with conversations and moments he had with each of them; at times he found himself smiling subconsciously. As the weeks passed, he attended the sessions once a week as promised, visited the graves and even trained as usual after a week. Things relatively returned to normal, or at least as normal as things could get at that point, for Yosuki and his family; his mother and Yosuki had made peace with what happened as time went on, with both being able to mention moments from the past without an odd silence filling the gap of the room. Yosuki had made peace with what happened and returned to his normal self after a while, though he wondered how he was able to do so. After a few weeks of weekly sessions, the interrogator ended up clearing Yosuki from his weekly sessions completely; Yosuki figured that would come along sooner or later.

<p class="MsoNormal">Shortly after being discharged from his weekly sessions, Yosuki began to think more and more about leaving to join Baragakure. He already ran the idea by his Sensei after being released from his sessions, usually during when Manabu and Yosuki were casually training with one another, though his Sharingan wasn’t activated when he did spar with him on that level. When he arrived home, he explained the situation to his mother, who reacted with a sad look, but eventually smiled at Yosuki. She said that she was happy that he was going off to explore the world some more and reassured him that she’d be fine here when he gave her a questioning look. She asked how his training was going and how his Sharingan was progressing, something that made Yosuki chuckle in confusion; he guess his father discussed his eyes with her, though he should’ve guessed as much. He told her that it was going good before she quickly cut him off by asking him to go to the living room and open a present she’d forgotten to give him, making Yosuki stop in his tracks before slowly heading towards the destination. He found a small box filled with scrolls, making Yosuki sit down on the couch before he turned his head to see his mother looking at him like she was waiting for him to open one of them. They he picked one up, he noticed the Uchiha Clan crest was placed on the scroll, making him even more curious as to what was written down in the scroll as he slowly unraveled the object. As his eyes scrolled the words written on the page, he found himself reading about something called a ‘Mangenkyo Sharingan’, something that made him glance over at his mother and ask what this was about. She responded with stating that his grandparents had gotten those from their grandparents and so on, so they could learn what their Clans abilities were and teach their offspring when the time came for them to learn. He looked back at the scroll before reading a word that caught his eye, the technique was called a ‘Susanoo’, whatever that was. As he kept reading them, he found that the scrolls had limited understanding of the abilities of their Clan, nothing in depth detail, but it was more than what he knew and that was enough for him. His mother answered as much as she could in case the scrolls themselves didn’t cover it well enough, but Yosuki took the scrolls given to him and began to read them; he later came to a scroll that read ‘Eternal Mangenkyo Sharingan’, but his mother asked him to read that scroll after he moved to and settled at Baragakure, something that made him raise an eyebrow at her, but he promised her all the same. He had only skimmed the Mangenkyo Sharingan scroll, figuring to read it in detail once he had enough time to; he figured he’d read the scrolls when he arrived in Baragakure.

<p class="MsoNormal">Two days after receiving the scrolls from his mother, he began to pack his belongings to start his trip to Baragakure, which didn’t take that long and within two days he had everything he needed for his trip. Earlier in the day, he visited the graveyard once more, saying his farewells to the graves of both Katsumi and his father before he went to the Village gates. The scrolls his mother gave him were secured in his backpack as he waited at the gates of the Village with her, telling her and his Sensei goodbye. He’d already spoken to the Kage earlier in the day and thanked him for everything the Village had given to him, to which the Kage merely responded by telling him that was what the Village was here for and he wished him luck on his future in Baragakure; he also stated that he would sent his file over to the Village shortly after his departure so they could know of his past accomplishments. After saying goodbye to those who came to see him off, he exited the Village and headed to where Baragakure was said to be. It took him a little over a week of traveling, but he eventually made it to the Village without issue. He was stopped by two ninja, both asking why he was there, to which Yosuki calmly responded by stating he wished to join the Village. The process of joining the Village took a few days, but Yosuki was eventually given a place in the Village as well as a rank; the rank given to him was Chunin, the same as it was in his old Village so it didn’t surprise him much. A few weeks after beginning to adjust to the Village, he received a letter at his new home, stating that he was needed to meet with the Kage immediately to discuss an urgent matter. Yosuki, while he was confused, obliged with the letter’s request before heading to the Kage’s office only. He met the Kage, though she didn’t say too much to him; only that she was going to have him undergo special training, stating that she had chosen him to join the rank of Anbu. He was going to ask why before a person, who he assumed to be an Anbu member, showed up and the Kage told him that he was to follow said person to begin his training. Yosuki was a bit shocked by all of this, but in the moment, he simply did as he was told.

<p class="MsoNormal">The training was the most intense training he’d ever gone through, but he found himself catching on rather quickly; he was usually always a fast learner, even as a child. When he wasn’t training, though the time slots were few between each one, he tried to make time to read one of the scrolls his mother had passed down to him. He focused mainly on the Mangenkyo Sharingan scroll though, as he had found out that his eye had become what he was reading about during one of his training sessions to become an Anbu member. He read about the eye and the abilities it was said to grant him when he unlocked them, but he hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary; maybe he needed to train with his eyes more. Oddly enough, the next day after reading about said abilities, he found something protect him in a spar against another pair of shinobi helping him with his training. When he raised his arms instinctively to protect himself from the blows, he found a blue skeletal ribcage forming around his body and stopping the attack from hitting him while a blue skeletal arm outstretched to grab the second shinobi in his place to prevent him from hitting Yosuki as well. Before he could fully understand or even see the forms for a longer while, they vanished and he found himself quickly drained physically, falling to his knee quickly from the large amount of chakra and energy taken from his body; while the sensation was short-lived, he did feel his entire body overcome with pain. It took him a minute to catch his breath and try to figure out what happened before his mind flashed the word ‘Susanoo’ at him, like he was reading the scroll right then and there. He figured that was the Susanoo he had been reading about, but he needed to double check with the scroll about what that ability could do; at the moment, he was too dazed and exhausted to remember everything word for word. Later on that night, he re-read the detailed scroll over the Susanoo, knowing full well that he was going to need to train with it before anything else; hopefully he’d at least get used to it instead of almost collapsing like he did earlier in the day. More time passed as he continued to undergo his training, but it wasn’t limited to just combat; the ones training him always spoke of what the Anbu were and what they stood for. How they were always there for the Village, to protect it and serve it from any and all enemies; that the missions they took on were high-level and dangerous, with dangerous enemies to deal with as well. He was told their missions would vary depending on what the Village needed; anywhere from assassinations to tracking and surveillance or even having missions requiring specially trained ninja for them. He took in as much information as he could within his training and learned as quickly as he could what was expected of an Anbu member. During his free time, he’d also learned some other techniques from the scrolls, some only usable by Sharingan wielders and some known to be used in the Uchiha Clan.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The training he’d undergone took a year, with Yosuki turning 20 years old by the end of it; his appearance hadn’t changed much outside of the training causing his body to become a bit more toned, but other than that nothing changed about him. He also figured out what special eye ability he was granted during his training as well, though he was still trying to get the hang of the ability. He’d read about the ability in one of the scrolls, finding the name of the dojutsu was called Kamui. The scroll was very descriptive of what which of his eyes could do what and what both eyes could do if they were joined together. While the scroll was a major help in terms of understand the dojutsu completely, he still knew that he’d need to train more with the abilities in order to fully master his eyes, much like his Susanoo. He still hadn’t had a chance to read over the scroll he promised to his mother to read when he arrived and settled in at Baragakure, but he figured that he’d have time to eventually. Once he was fully finished with his Anbu training, or at least that he was told he was and received his Anbu attire, he was told that the leader of the Anbu would eventually need to speak with him to welcome him into the ranks officially. He was advised that until that day came, he would be better off to complete at least one mission before meeting with him and Yosuki couldn’t agree more.
