It's surprising how much people depend on sound to understand things, for what reason is always a mystery. I always had wondered what it would be like to speak and not just use writing and sign language to share my thoughts and ideas, would my voice be loud or soft? Smooth like a sword or rather rough like sand? Maybe my voice is high pitched but it could also be deep and monotonous. But that's just mere fantasy, because I was born without a voice box. In my clan, the Shizukani clan, having no voice is special and those without one are highly respected. The Shizukani clan was a much wanted ally to any nation, but the once great clan is now scattered throughout the nations and are almost unheard of nowadays, since then my brother, Shoku, and I manage on our own by traveling to different villages. Every village we travel to is the same, I'm left unnoticed. Until I met a boy my age. He instantly noticed me. Note after the prologue the timeline begins about three months before Naruto Shippuden. We do not own Naruto or the cover, the plot and our own characters belong to us. Oh and we don't own you.
