Kyodai was born into the Uchiha clan during desperate times. The Uchiha clan was poor. The Uchiha clan was starving. Kyodai grew up starving with a distant mother, a dead father, and eight younger brothers, all whom recognized Kyodai as their caregiver. They needed food. They needed land to farm. They needed allies. Other clans wanted the Uchiha to consistently and reliably provide food in return for seeds and land. These terms were outrageous. The Uchiha clan could not feed another clan. They could barely feed their own. Kyodai knew this. They were stuck on dry land that refused to grow anything that wasn't poisonous or inedible. Changing the entire clan's diet from mostly rice and other plantlife to wild snakes and hares had been necessary. Kyodai and her brothers would survive. The clan would survive. The Uchiha have always survived. Power struggles, famine, water contamination, battles, the Senju, disease, ambushes, whatever life had thrown at them, seemly punishment for daring to breathe, the Uchiha clan would always survive. That didn't mean it was easy.
The quote for this chapter's title was made up by me. If you made up a similar quote, I assure you I did not steal it. In today's age of knowledge, overlapping ideas often happen.
