The Story Of Another Uchiha

A little Voice can have some Power

The rain dripped against my head, a shiver ran down my body.

"Itachi, how far do you think that brat ran!?" I pressed my pointer against my lip

"Be patient, Kisame. When we find her, she must pay a price." Kisame chuckled and pulled down his hat. "I'll make sure she does, Itachi, I'll make sure!" he sliced the tree at once.

"So will I." a smirk played along my thin lips.

Iruka's POV

"Can you sense her chakra?" I yelled over to Jiraiya

He didn't respond, only kept hanging his head. I felt anger rise in me, how could she get so far away!?

"Yes, but only faintly." I shifted my weight and turned back to him.

"She's alright! I can feel that she's a strong person." Jiraiya clentched his fists.

Amaya's POV

I panted and formed the handsign once again.

A puff of smoke formed beneauth my hand. Excitedly I stared at the outspring.

A baby Phoenix, coughing out gigantic fireballs.

"Your not enough!" it turned to me sadly and tears ran down it's face, dripping on my bloody wounds.

"I'm sorry, I just am exhausted and want to have a process." it nodded and burnt up again.

I was about to redo the jutsu but hid behind a tree, when I heard a few whispers.

"She's alright! I can feel she's a strong person." I smiled at Iruka's words.

"Do you really believe that!?" my heart stopped at the rough voice. They stopped running.

"I believed she was strong myself, but look at all this, she's a weakling! She probably ran back home because she lied at me! It probably was just a joke and she got the best of me!"

I heard him kick the ground "I believed she was strong, but she was just a liar. How could I believe her story!? She's an Uchiha, as if!!" I bit my lip

"Amaya, how about you try once more? You want to unlock that summoning jutsu, don't you?" the alluring whisper caught me off guard

"It's so easy! It's not hatred that unlocks me, it's something different. One of the main emotions!"

I closed my eyes and placed my palm against my forehead.

"It's just a simple emotion, that easy!" I tried to collect every single happy moment in my life. Yet, I couldn't remember many.

My time with Sasuke and Itachi was happy but-

"I spent so much time with this girl, I truly love her like my own child! I always was missing something and believed she filled this something up, but I was wrong. She just covered my heart with hopes."

But the happiest time I spent in my life, was with Jiraiya. Now I destroyed it by pushing him away.

"She always makes me worry! But, I can't hate her! You know why, Iruka? Because I know that every word she ever said to me, was the truth. She meant every single word. And even if I'm so hurt, I don't regret helping that girl who yelled." he sniffled

"Who kicked the apple stand and yelled at the people who pitied her. Who called me a perv and even threatend to kill me, yet poured out her heart. Iruka, I think I'm trying to make her seem like a liar, so that I can let go and hate her, but that's impossible."

My heart ached and I clutched it, but the longer I heard him sulk, the more it hurt.

"Jiraiya-sama, I always respected you. And now I do even more, you saw your faults and noticed something, some people never do in a life time. You followed your heart, took an awful risk, and yet you will never regret a single mistake you made that day."

I took a shaky step forward and sniffled too. "Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Amaya!" I took a few slow steps towards him and looked into his eyes.

"I want you to know why I live." he gave me a confused look.

"My father wanted to make the clan stronger. He decided to connect the two clans through me. I am just a connection and if I die, the connection is gone again. But, my mother died while giving birth to me. Many died who were against this project. Many who could have lived happily if I wouldn't have been born. So, I can't control it, but I have this feeling to protect everybody who I love."

I smiled and took Jiraiya's hand. "To protect them, I don't want to be a bother, so I push the ones I love away. Another reason is, that I'm very scared, that you could change just like him." I emphasised the word him.

"It hurts me, but better me than the ones I love. Because that would hurt me way more." Jiraiya hugged me tightly.

"You are so stupid, Amaya. The only way you hurt me is when you do this! You hurt both of us like that, you idiot!" my eyes widened at his straight-fowardness.

"I want you to be yourself, that will make me happy. Think of yourself for once!" I smiled and shook my head

"I'll try my best." I vowed into his chest

"And now, we should all get a some sleep, before we pass out! That you very much for the help, Iruka." Iruka nodded at us with a smile

"It's always great to help a family in need."

I smiled at him and thought of this very moment, where the little cage door was opened.

But I didn't fly away. I enjoyed being here, with Jiraiya.
