Prologue
Uchiha Kyoko was the top of her academy class along with Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku. Even though they were in different cells, they considered themselves best friends along with Uzumaki Kushina, the group tomboy. When they weren't out on missions or with their cell, the four of them were together. Minato, Kyoko and Kushina reeking havoc through the village while Fugaku watched, entertained, but pretending to want nothing to do with it.
When the chunnin exams came along they didn't see each other as often. Uchiha Kyoko ended up fighting against a Suna shinobi in the finals and later befriended him. His name was Satsugai Shura. The Satsugai clan was one of the very first clans in Sunagakure but that clan was nearly extinct now. Those who held the Satsugai title were often nobles. The kekkei genkai of the Satsugai clan was even rarer. It often skipped several generations before appearing in the blood of a certain individual. Very rarely did a parent and child have the kekkei genkai. Satsugai Shura was one of the lucky few.
After the chunnin exams were over Kyoko, Kushina, Minato and Fugaku didn't mess around as often a focused on their life as shinobi. There friendship grew apart slowly and on rare occasions they would train together or go to eat. Many years passed and the once rowdy teens grew up to be fine shinobi. Kyoko was the first to go. The other had noticed her strange eagerness to get away from the village and her talk about blood shed nightmares. To escape she ended up marrying Shura, whom she had been visiting often. Kushina and Minato married, while Fugaku married the beautiful Uchiha Mikoto. Mikoto had her first son at the age of twenty-three and her second a the age of twenty-eight, which was also around the same time Kushina had her first son. Kyoko had her first son at the age of twenty-two. She had her second son a the age of twenty-four and at the age of twenty-nine had her last child, a baby girl.
My name is Uchiha Karasu. Uchiha Kyoko was my mother and Satsugai Shura was my father. My mother is now dead, along with both my brothers. My father? He's a touchy subject that is still hard for even me to talk about. My father was not a man of good and common sense. But…am I one to talk about what is right and what is wrong? Nah. I have done my share of sinful acts, but sometimes this is just how you survive in the shinobi world. What is right or wrong? What is good and bad? These word are not facts but merely opinions. Each person has a different say in what the true definition is. These are the true fuel behind wars. Isn't it just easier to see it a the way the world works? Why even label something as good or bad? When you think about it, there really is no such thing, just the human mind. Forgive me, I am rambling.
I often find it best not to dwell on the past, not to feel sorry for ones self. Instead, I'll just charge into today, never thinking of tomorrow, with a smile on my face. My name is Uchiha Karasu. This is my story.
