Chapter I : Sorrowful Separation


A sunny morning in the training grounds centre of the forest near the Uchiha Compound, Yukari is having her usual training together with her father Saruke Uchiha. Practising the (Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu) - Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu which is the common ninjutsu for an Uchiha. Beside the training ground, Yuan is watching. Yukari already mastered the hand seals of (Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu) - Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu but still she’s practicing it to perform it more rapidly, while Yuan is imitating her sister and barely to make a two to three hand seals. Yukari said to Yuan that in order to perform the (Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu) - Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu she must concentrate and focus molding her chakra while making the hand seal. Yuan tried once more and became more concentrated while making the hand seal. As she blows a small breath of fire come out and astonished her older sister and father. Yuan’s happy on what she achieved but it looks like it made her tired after. Saruke told Yuan that she must rest for it was her first successful try of making (Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu) - Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu and it might cause a lot of chakra especially she was just five years old.

“I will become a great ninja like nii-chan and oto-san.” Yuan said while grasping a huge breathe and fall asleep beside a tree. Her father walks near to her, pats her head and whispered – “Yes, both of you will become a great ninja more than me”. And afterwards Yukari and his father continue to train.

It was mid afternoon when their training was finished and got back home. Saruke told them that there would be a meeting for all the Uchiha regarding the death of Shisui and he might return late so they don’t need to wait for him for the dinner. Hours passed and it was nearly time for dinner but Saruke didn’t arrive just as he said. Yuan asked her mother Yula – “Where is oto-san?” And Yula answered that they don’t need to wait their father for the dinner because he will come late due to the meeting. Yuan nodded sadly, but Yukari pats her head and said that after they eat they will wait for their father to come before sleeping which made erase the disappointment in Yuan’s face. It was almost late night but still Saruke didn’t arrive. Yula told them to fix their futon and get ready to sleep. But Yuan abruptly said that they will not go to sleep until their father comes back. Couple of minutes while Yukari is fixing the futons, Yuan fall asleep already at the side of the foundation of their house. As Yukari already prepared the futon and will take Yuan to her bed, the gates open knowingly that their father had arrive. Yuna greeted Saruke but it seems that his husband is unease, and then a shout from their neighbourhood happened. Yuna seemed troubled about Saruke and she asked what happened in the meeting but Saruke ignored her question and immediately flipped the tatami where there is a small underground room. He grabbed Yuan slowly put her there which made Yuan woke up. Saruke said that there is no time to explain the children must needed to be hide before Itachi comes in. He instructed them that no matter what happen they mustn’t make any noise and never go outside in the small underground room. After that he put back the tatami and below was a total darkness. Yuan said that she was scare and didn’t know what’s happening, however Yukari said that everything will be ok and embraced her younger sister. On the pitch of darkness both of them heard their parents talking.

''“It was Itachi who killed Shisui! And now he killed most of the Uchiha Officials that were in the meeting. And he said that he will annihilate all living Uchiha.”''

“But why he would do that?!”

''“I don’t know, one thing is for sure now. He is unstoppable! He can activate the Mangekyo Sharingan. Yuna you must hide now quick!”''

But before Yuna could speak she was hit by two kunais in the chest and fall in the floor. Yuan and Yukari heard only a whack on the floor but they don’t know what was going above them. Saruke lifted his wife but it seems she was dead as soon as she was hit by the kunais that was thrown. Saruke’s Sharingan activated but before he could face directly to Itachi he was already stabbed in the heart.



 “Damn you. . . Why. . . Did you. . . betray. . . the Uchi. Ha. .” Saruke’s last word before he stumbled on the floor.

Yukari knows that there is something bad is happening above them but she couldn’t go outside because if she doesn’t her younger sister might be endangered. So she just stays there together with her sister Yuan like what her father told them. Yuan was so scared even Yukari could feel her shaking. Yukari said to Yuan that she don’t need to be scared because she will protect her not matter what it’ll cost. After a few minutes they heard a scream from afar, Yukari knows that it was Sasuke’s voice but why even Sasuke became a victim by his own brother that she thought he loves so much. She knew that time it wasn’t safe to stay in the compound so she decided to go out.
