Tales of an Uchiha

Tales of an Uchiha - Chapter 2. The beginning of something new.

"I'm an Uchi-what?" 

Lord Hokage didn't have the patience for this I could tell just by looking at him. 

"You're a member of the Uchiha clan" he told me.

"OK...But what does that have to do with everything that happened?" I asked him, completely confused.

"In order to understand what's happened, you need to understand what you are and where you come from. Let me begin" 

With that he sat back in his chair and gestured to a seat opposite his desk for me to sit in. Kakashi quietly stepped outside the door.

Lord Hokage seemingly was trying to recall my past from his memory bank. He looked at me took a deep breath and began.

"Your mother was named Hikari Senju and your father Raiden Uchiha. 

Their coupling was frowned upon as there was a lifelong rivalry between both clans. 

But as a young couple in love they defied the wishes of their respective clan members and were joined in marriage. A year later you were conceived. 

Up until the time of your birth your mothers pregnancy carried on as normal. She would read you stories and sing to you in the womb, in hopes that you would hear her voice.

Her only wish was one of forging a strong bond with you. That was all she dreamed of. 

On the night of your birth there was a red moon, thought to be a sign of a bad omen. Those present feared the worst and they proved to be right.

There were complications. The stress of childbirth was too much for your mother's body to handle and as you were pulled from her body her life force left her.

It was only when the midwife looked you over she realised you were different from normal infants. You didn't make a sound in the usual way newborns do which she found odd.

Your father racked with grief refused to leave your mothers side so you were taken to a nearby house to stay with another mother who had also recently given birth to a son.

Her name was Mikoto Uchiha. One day, whilst taking care of you she heard you crying hysterically. She feared the worst since you never usually made a sound, she rushed to your side and made the startling discovery that behind your tears

you had a fully awakened mangekyou sharingan. But what was most odd was the fact that unlike most sharingan being red, you possessed one purple in colour.

In a panic she sent for the clan leader, her husband, Fugaku Uchiha. The fact that you even had any form of sharingan at such a tender age was unbelievable to say the least.

Never in the clans history had an anomaly such as this ever happened before and it sent the clan into a panic. After many heated meetings with the clan elders, it was decided that you would be sent to a remote secret location with a select few members of the clan, to live away from 

anyone who may pose a threat to you. They had intended to keep you safe until you came of age to join the academy and begin your training as a kunoichi. 

The time to retrieve you never came as information about your whereabouts was leaked to enemy forces and as you know, your adoptive family was killed trying to fight them off.
