An Uchiha's Legacy (#SYS)

An Uchiha's Legacy

It was a quite the silent morning in Konoha as the sun peaked from the horizon. One stoic Uchiha walked through these streets, not showing any interest to anyone or anything around him as he made his way toward the hokage tower. As Sasuke walked kept on walking, he caught sight of a familiar shinobi. "Aburame!"

Said person turned around at the mention of his name. The bug user waited as Sasuke caught up to him.

"Uchiha," Shino greeted. Both ninjas arrived at the hokage tower, with Sasuke leading Shino into the hokage's office.

"Ah, Sasuke, Shino," Kakashi greeted. Both ninja gave curt nods and Shino proceeded to give Kakashi a scroll.

"Thank you, Shino. Dismissed"

Shino gave another nod before leaving the room. Kakashi opened the scroll, perusing through the contents when Sasuke asked sarcastically, "Any more chores or can I leave the village?"

"Isn't leaving a little too soon to think about? I thought your previous missions would have taught you a thing or two about patience," Kakashi mused.

"You mean the insufferable chores I was forced to do. I know my probation is over. Either I leave or you give a real mission, preferably an S-class mission"

Both ninjas concentration were broken at the entrance of Shizune, the former and current hokage's assistant.

"Shizune," Kakashi grinned behind his mask, "Nice to see that you finally made it early"

"Good morning. Lord Hokage, it's not yet time for me to work. I'm just from a tiring shift at the hospital and I'm here to deliver a message from Lady Tsunade," Shizune said tiredly, handing Kakashi a scroll.

Kakashi took hold of the scroll, unrolled it and began skimming through the contents. His eyes widened as he read through the contents of the scroll.

"Shizune," Kakashi spoke, "do inform Lady Tsunade that I'll work on this immediately"

"Right away, Lord Hokage," the brunette replied, and soon left the office.

"Well Sasuke, looks like you get a mission out of the village," Kakashi said.

In a town called Sani, where it hardly ever felt the rays of the sun, a lone house stood at its outskirts. The townspeople knew that it was inhabited by a young woman who they knew to work at both the local apothecary and the local clinic. Her talents in the medical field had been greatly recognised that even the local doctors had asked for assistance in some cases and to share knowledge with them.

On one particular afternoon, the young woman had been at a patient's home, assisting with a birth. She had been at the patient's home for more than twenty hours, and the expecting mother –Asuka- was ready to bring her child into the world. Once she was done with her task, she wrapped the baby in a blanket, and handed the girl to the expectant arms her exhausted mother. Asuka smiled in awe as she cooed at her child. Turning to the young woman, Asuka said, "Thank you, Hanako-san"

"You're welcome. Just remember to bring the child by the clinic for the necessary injections. Other than that, congratulations"

Hanako gave the woman a smile and packed up her items into her bag. She went into another room, and found a little body asleep on a bed. Hanako put on a grey waterproof cloak and took the child in her arms. She was escorted to the main door of the house and gave her farewells as she left the home.

A light drizzle graced the streets Hanako walked through to reach her home, making sure the bundle in her arms was as comfortable as possible. Hanako enjoyed the peace and tranquillity this town brought her, and the safety it provided for Akira. As Hanako neared her home, her body tensed as it registered a chakra presence and a familiar one at that. She walked more slowly until the small wooden house that had been her home came into view. In her line of vision, a figure was leaning next to the front door, arms folded and head facing down as though they were asleep.
