Uchiha Kyodai

Forgiving the Unrepentant is Like Drawing Pictures on Water

Kyodai is seventeen when she kills her mother. To gain power. The Mangekyou. Madara and Izuna kill two of their friends that same night. To gain enough power. To kill Ryuu. Madara kills him an hour later. Hate and vengeance on his mind. Ryuu's infant sons, Makoto and Fugaku, and his unwilling wife, Machiko, are spared. By morning, Madara is named the clan head of the Uchiha with Izuna and Kyodai as his right hands. They take example from their late aunt Tokoji's rule. They are well liked. They are not defied. They lead as a trio, and no one person is strong enough to beat them. One will always stay at camp while the others fight. They used to take turns. Not anymore. Kyodai is pregnant at eighteen with heirs from a man she killed herself. She is required to stay at camp. She thinks a lot. Her hate has subsided some, making room for the overwhelming love for her children. Her eight brothers fret over her constantly when they are not at battle. She wishes for peace for the first time in thirteen years. For her children. She thinks of her own mother and thinks that she had never stopped craving Yuei's love. She thinks of how horrible a person her mother really was and of her skill. She thinks of her father and how he had loved his whole family, even Yuei. She thinks of his smile, how he forgave others, felt guilt and shame, and believed in second chances. How he had shone the brightest of all of the Uchiha. She thinks of her father, and she wants her children to be just like him. She thinks of her single sister who had died young. Who had died pure. She thinks of all eight of her brothers, and their mischief. Their bright smiles reserved for only them and her. She thinks thinks of Senjin, Zyun, and Takeshi. Of their strong bonds of brotherhood with Madara and Izuna. She thinks of her four living cousins, Madara, Izuna, Makoto, and Fugaku. Each of them with their own specialties and quirks that make them unique. She thinks of that Senju, Hashirama, and his persistent goal of peace. Kyodai wants her children to be blessed with qualities of all of the people she thinks of. So that they can protect themselves and enjoy life.  She prays to deities to forgive her of her sins and to protect her children. She tries to forgive those who wronged her. She cannot find it within herself to do so. She tries though. She loses herself in the truth, and sees all of the lies she had ever told. To herself and others.
