From the Ashes

What happened to this place?

It was a question which kept her wide awake even in the dead of night...Beisides the inhospitable place she found herself in, but more on that in a moment.

The village was beautiful,a fact which Saryn agreed with each time she looked out her bedroom window.The greens and blues that the uniforms represented so well had been prevalent throughout the entirety of the village in the rivers and trees,and even the grass that was almost everywhere that wasn't a set walkway or street.

The people however? The ideals? Where to even begin...

In the past few weeks the council had begun the process of establishing the Uzumaki clan back into the village,to which everyone sought to acquire their own standing in her clan from Fire Capital elite to the three remaining elders.The reanimating of Mito had proven to be a godsend even as short lived as it was.Only problem was...the reanimating of Mito.

Having caught on to most concerns amidst the obvious crime committed,the pure blooded Uzumaki had made sure that Saryn was fully equipped to carry the name of the clan wherever she went,and ensured that both the respective white and blood spirals of their clan was taken care of by the likes of the new generation of Uzumaki by leaving her own knowledge behind.

Before her chosen departure,the elder Uzumaki made sure to leave multiple scrolls breaking down sealing jutsu and various methods to unsealing and creating new seals to fit various niches.Even with such a wealth of knowledge,they'd almost paled in comparison to the revelation of Uzumaki bloodlines.Actual bloodline abilities,not just the generational ability of sealing all of them seemed to have.

Adamantine Chains.Healing chakra/life force...These things were no Sharingan or Ice Release, but every shinobi would kill for some sort of healing at such a level.

Saryn thanked Kami daily for the cards she was dealt, even if it came with so much responsibility and suffering.

With all the great that came with seeing the acknowledgement as a rising star,the ascent came with more than her fair share of problems from places she'd never even anticipated...She'd felt her heart fill with the time she spent with alongisde her family and Mito alike before she'd departed,who the others had taken to calling grandmother,much to the lady's delight.

But there had been a burning anger as well.

The Ninja Council soon demanded she disclosed the origin of her miscolored eye,for what reason Saryn currently couldn't tell her if she tried,the seal Danzo had planted on her tongue made sure of that as Shisui advised her.She'd have to make sure to find a way around that.Until then,she'd had to follow along with the legal proceedings of her actions.

[Flashback]

The Council room was an uncommon place for a girl of her age to be,yet the large redwood doors had been a regular sight for the likes of Saryn,only growing more common with recent developments.

She followed in behind Tsunade,kneeling respectfully beside the woman as she took her stand at the podium before flickering to her own engraved seat beside a few of the clan heads.Taking a seat she nodded to those on either side of her,those being Hiashi Hyūga and Shibi Aburame.

Before them,were the likes of the Ninja Clan Heads that made up the Council,along with the three remaining elders.Homura Mitokado,Koharu Utakane,and Danzo Shimura.

Tsunade cleared her throat and thanked the people present for attending before delving into the main topic.

"We are gathered here to discuss the issues regarding Genin and clan head,Uzumaki Saryn..Concerning multiple claims brought up by the elder Council.I will allow Koharu to have the floor for a moment." Waving her hand,the elderly woman stood.
