Paths of Divergence

Rememberance

The above picture is Shizake's father, Hideo. Picture by Kutuya10080 although I think her friend drew this one but they do not have a wattpad so I can't properly credit them. Just as a reminder Shizake is an only child in my story. Enjoy!

Chapter 28
-Rememberance

   "Where was I?" The Uchiha asks aloud before pondering. "Oh right, the festival."

   "Ahhh, that hit the spot!" Sasaui said, stretching her arms into the sky.

   "You can say that again. They really know how to make it spicy too!" Aya added.

   "Are we going to the fire shows next?" Kutuya asked, tugging on Sasuke's sleeve.

   "Yeah! We're going to watch the show before the main event starts," Sasuke answered with a grin.

   Shizake looks up, watching as the thin clouds slide across the sky effortlessly. "I wonder what they have planned for the main event?"

   "It'll have to outdo last years event, that's for sure. It's gonna be hard to top the firework show. Whoever planned that was an artistic genius!" Sasaui recalled.

   "Heh, it's in our blood to outdo everyone including ourselves! I'm sure it'll take a crap on last year's show!" Aya exclaimed.

   "You sure have a colorful way with words," Sasaui said with a sly grin.

"We should get going! The fire show will start soon!" Kutuya piped in.

   The group of children darted off to the section of the compound where the show was being held. Many members of the clan gathered around to watch the display. The Uchiha leading the show portrayed magnificent uses of their fire jutsu, creating images of flame rarely seen. Towers of fire danced and sparkled in the air with various men and women performing acrobatic tricks amongst the flames.

   Shizake propped Kutuya up on his shoulders to give her a better look. Aya, Sasuke, and Sasaui all pushed their way to the front of the crowd, obtaining front row seats. Gazing on with sparkling eyes, the children all looked on at the light show that went on into the night. Once the sunset had settled in, the show came to an end with a grand finale of massive flames spewed into the air. The combined fire lit up the entire compound as if the sun itself had beamed for a brief moment.

   Once the area went dark there was a massive applause as the crowd cheered for the performers. The Uchiha whom had just finished their performance bowed to the crowd, waving as they were cheered for.

   "That show was so great! Didn't you think so big bro Shizake!?" Kutuya exclaimed.

   The boy took the girl off his shoulders, plopping her down in front of him with a bright grin, "It sure was!"

   The rest of the three approached Shizake and Kutuya, still amazed from the show.

   "That was so awesome!" Sasaui yelled.

   "I can't believe the finale! It almost knocked me on my ass!" Aya added.

   "One day we'll be able to do those kinds of jutsu! We'll impress everyone in the whole clan!" Sasuke said enthusiastically.

   "Hehe! We'll be able to outperform even that!" Shizake replied.

   Noticing the time, the group realized it was time for the main event. Most if not all the clan members began heading to the center of the compound to gather around.
