"Sasuke!" Karin called out in her 'lulled by Sasuke voice' as Sasuke looked up from his chair. Sasuke and his crew were hiding in a cave from a group of thugs who 'told on them' to the Hidden Cloud and sent out entire squads to root them out.
"What do you want, Karin?" Sasuke scoffed as he cracked his knuckles. At that Karin changed her tone.
"U-Uh...have you had any relatives?" Karin asked in fear, "J-Just wondering, since...you know..."
Sasuke sighed, he beckoned Karin to sit down in the chair across from him. Karin did as Sasuke told her to do and sat down uncomfortably.
"It was a while back...we were pretty close..."
"Sasuke! What are you doing?" 'Naoki' called out as he ran towards Sasuke, who was in a tree. It was getting a little dark, and Naoki was sent to get his almost-older-almost-younger cousin...who was, in truth, the same age as Sasuke.
"Waiting for Itachi to come get me, he said he thought he saw a giant boat...what are you doing here?" Sasuke asked as he leaped down from the low tree branch to the ground.
"I was sent to get you...guess they thought that you were in the village or they would've sent me with an adult or something...oh by the way..." Naoki trailed off, as he threw a fish straight at Sasuke's face.
"Hahaha! Does it taste good?" Naoki laughed. Sasuke took the fish out of his face.
"Hey! Don't do that..." Sasuke muttered.
"Sorry, I won't then." Naoki said as he took the fish back. As they were going to 'trade' the fish, Itachi jumped through a bush and snatched the fish.
"This looks like my catch of the day." Itachi said playfully as he threw the fish to Naoki. Naoki just smiled and scoffed as he caught the fish.
"Let's go home you two...we got some explaining to do." Itachi said as he led the way back to the village. Sasuke and Naoki followed suit as Itachi briskly paced back to the village.
Naoki sighed as he looked at an old picture of him, Sasuke, Itachi, Shisui, and Naoki's two siblings.
"Those were the good days...but it's past..." He muttered. Naoki was about to go get some fresh air, but he heard his door get kicked down. He sighed and quietly ran to the stairway to look down at the door. At the sight of who was there made him mad...more mad than he had ever felt. It was his two siblings, his eighteen year old sister Akiko, and his twenty-five brother Kazuki. Both wore black robes like Naoki had when he arrived at Konoha again.
"Oh, there's our little brother, Naoki...what is he now, fifteen?" Akiko laughed. Kazuki gave Naoki a cold stare.
"Sixteen...you forgot your siblings' birthdays didn't you?" Kazuki scoffed.
"Th-That's not true!" Akiko said.
Naoki was at his edge of sanity...his siblings had left him in a horrid state and he wanted them to pay.
"I don't go by that any more, now leave!" Naoki shouted, "It's Mike now!"
At that statement, Akiko and Kazuki laughed.
"What's wrong? Little bro mad that we left you alone?" Akiko laughed.
"It shows how weak you are...you disgust me..." Kazuki said coldly.
Naoki clenched his fists and shouted, "I don't give a damn if you call me weak...but just you two being here sets me off more than anything...now leave or I'll just burn you alive!"
Akiko was about to jump towards Naoki and kill him with her sword, but Kazuki stopped her. He just shook his head at her.
"We'll find you later, Naoki...and when we do, you'll be dead." Kazuki warned.
Naoki scoffed, "Like you could kill me!"
At that, Naoki used Amaterasu on the floor in front of them. Akiko and Kazuki jumped backwards and fled. Naoki strained his eyes to put out the fire he started, and deactivated his Mangeyko. He was panting...he had only used Amaterasu two years ago one time...and that was it.
"D-Damn..." Naoki panted as he wiped blood from his eyes. He decided to fall asleep in a chair that night...no use sleeping in bed to calm himself down. As he sat in his favorite chair, he closed his eyes...
'Why now?' Nakoi thought. He couldn't answer himself before he fell asleep in his chair.
