Your arranged marriage to a prominent feudal lord has always been a happy one or so you thought. When he suspects your lack of fertility, he takes up a mistress much to your dismay. Your sister, no less!
The overwhelming depression forces you into...

A/N: The picture is how I imagine the room to be. Ignore Tsunade and the others . Anyways, the last chapter of the Autumn arc will be posted in a few days. I am so excited to share! Enjoy!

A room stationed on the first floor of the administration building bustles with many of the most influential citizens in the village. The Hokage and his council, the Senju, the Hyuuga, the Uchiha, the Sarutobi, the Akimichi, the Nara, the Yamanaka, the Shimura, and the Umemoto... to name a few. Only two representatives from each clan attend, mostly Clan Leaders with their proteges.
You recognize the two representatives from your clan, an older first cousin and your father. You also spot Inoichi and Sakumo in the sea of people while you sit beside Tobirama. Such a premier spot has the room eyeing you curiously, but you do well to blend with your surroundings.
Madara has settled close by along with Fugaku, but he ignores your presence. Your sexual escapades and the (what you think is) flirting between you two have ceased since that conversation. Without the surface level relationship, you two had no other tie except the unborn child, leaving just cordiality between you two.
The room's noise silences upon seeing the Hokage stand. He states his greetings and begins the meeting in the same manner as always. Each clan, one by one, mentions their subjective necessities; some discuss their rogue cousin clans that would like to join and so on.
Until the Umemoto are next. Your father rises, his gaze steely and on you. "The Umemoto have enough representatives here today. Why do you possess a disowned member in your midst?"
His tone is lacking in respect, a surefire way to rile up Tobirama, who jumps with a response. "She is representative of someone else today. Do you think I just string along women to village business?"
Your father narrows his eyes with rebellion. "We find it insulting that a failed housewife, especially one soiled with infamy, has attended to discuss actual issues of the village. I am sure most will agree in wanting her out of here."
No one agrees or disagrees, but their eyes are solely on you. They know you are his child, they spot the lack of respect and love he feels for you, but they do not argue with Tobirama's decision to bring you here.
Tobirama, aware of your tense relationship with the clan, surges forward. "I have use of her voice. Now, is there an issue your clan wants to speak on or can we move on?"
Your father grits his teeth, anger boiling until he makes eye contact with you once more. It's as if your confused expression is enough for him to settle down. As if he thinks that you will be too stupid to provide any aid to Tobirama and will end up embarrassing yourself in front of all. With that in mind, he shakes his head and sits back down.
Again more discussions ensue until it arrives on the Uchiha. Hashirama stands along with them and speaks up with praise. "I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Uchiha for a successful negotiation with the Aburame clan. They will be staunch and loyal allies in the same manner that you are, adding to the success of our shinobi village."
