Sinon's POV

The memory...Still fresh in my mind. Their charred remains still spoke to me… "Sinon, Why didn't you do anything?" My brother's body as they killed him...limp and scarred. That was all 15 years ago...and the wounds still remain. Still fresh and still bleeding, eating away at my very psyche.

One day, I met a strange boy during my travels. A boy that wore a black blindfold with the kanji for "Eyes of the blind devil" written on them. "Hey….Who are you?" I asked. He looked at me through the blindfold, following the sound of my voice. "I'm not answering you...until you answer me. Who are you and why are you wandering out here?" The boy asked.

"Sinon Uchihara. The last remaining member of Uchihara clan. Village now a pile of ashes thanks to the Akatsuki," I said, the mental scars being forced to replay in my mind.

Shoko's POV

The screams were gone. I couldn't hear them any longer. I could still smell the smoke from some of the burnt homes that were still standing. Everything was gone. My friends, my family, my village, everything. Everything I knew was taken from me. All because of the Demon Eyes. Those damn Demon Eyes! They can't just leave me alone. The Demon Eyes have been in the Yūgure clan for generations, and they certainly weren't ending with mine.

Unlike my parents, I have never been able to conceal my Demon Eyes, so when I turned 5 years old. My parents put a blindfold on me and told me to never take it off, no matter what. So I never did. Never really needed to. Overtime, as I began relying on my other senses, they became stronger than ever possible. I could hear shallow breathing from miles away. I could smell food from a mile away. I could do all these things, but yet, after all, I just wanted to open my eyes and see.

As of right now, I was speaking to a young man named Sinon Uchihara. He seemed to be a broken man, chained down by grief. I almost did tell him my name, but I felt suspicious, so I threw a smoke bomb and fled until I was back at the ruins of the Village Hidden in Shadows. I began to rest, but only for a short while.

I heard rustling. Someone was nearby. I hid in a tree. The footsteps were in sets of 4. 4 left footsteps, 4 right footsteps. They were light footsteps, but I could still hear them loud and clear. They were heading towards what was left of my village. They stopped. I heard a gasp. Someone was obviously shocked at the destruction.

"We're too late?" asked a voice. The voice was high, so I assumed that the voice was female.

"There might be some evidence that we can find. Hinata, Naruto, look around and find something we can consider evidence. Sakura, look for survivors" said a second voice. The voice was a baritone, so I assumed it belonged to an adult male, age is approximately mid to late 20s.

"But, Kakashi-Sensai, what if we don't find anything or anyone?" asked the second male voice. I assumed that voice belonged to the one called Naruto.

"Oh you are so dumb Naruto!" Yelled a different female voice. I assumed this voice belonged to the one called Sakura.

"Hey, I was just asking a question!" Yelled Naruto.

I heard some more rustling. There was someone coming. And they couldn't hear it over their stupid argument. At least not until a kunai was thrown at them. I heard some cloth rip, but I didn't hear a yell of pain. No one was hurt. I heard some feet landing on the ground. Someone else was here.

"Ah! Who are you?!" Yelled Naruto.

"That's none of your concern, Nine Tailed Fox!" Yelled an unfamiliar voice. I heard multiple fighting noises, then a slash and a yell of pain. Then I heard laughter from the unfamiliar voice. He then spoke again.

"You're weaker than I anticipated, boy." said the unfamiliar voice. "Maybe I should just kill you right now!"

I heard the whooshing sound of Shurikens being thrown, and at that moment, I threw my multiple kunai. The kunai managed to throw the shurikens off course.

"What? What was that?!" Yelled the unfamiliar voice.

"I'm afraid I can't let you kill anyone without giving me answers," I said as I landed down.

"Who the hell are you?!" Asked the unfamiliar voice, which became more familiar now that I was closer to it.

"I am the last survivor of the Village Hidden in Shadows and the last of the Yūgure clan"

"Oh, so you're one of the Devils. I'll enjoy killing you." He yelled and charged at me. I simply dodged and kicked him in the ribs. I then proceeded to punch him in the face. He was angry for sure. "Why won't you die?!"

"Because I'm not letting you kill me." I then threw one of my kunai at him. Based on the gurgling noise that he was making, I'm pretty sure I hit his throat. I heard him collapse onto the ground, and I couldn't hear his heartbeat. The one called Naruto ran up to me and shook my hand.

"Hey, that was awesome! You took him down blindfolded! How did you do that?!"

"Years of adjustment" I replied.

"Greetings" said the one called Kakashi. "I hope you don't mind, but I would like to escort you to the Hidden Leaf Village so Lady Hokage can question you."

I thought about it for a minute, then shrugged.

"I don't see why not."

"AWESOME!" Yelled Naruto. "THAT WAY YOU CAN TEACH ME YOUR AWESOME MOVES!"

"Shut up Naruto!" Yelled Sakura. "You're so annoying."

"Well, shall we get moving then?" I asked.

Kakashi and the others began walking, and I followed. After approximately 2.38 miles (3.83 kilometers) I stopped. After 3 footsteps, they stopped as well.

"Is something wrong?" asked Kakashi. I smiled lightly.

"You can come out now. I know you're hiding in those bushes."

Sinon's POV

How did that boy know where I was hiding? He's blindfolded. That should've inhibited his tracking skills, if not shutting them down completely. After a moment's hesitation, I walked out of the bushes.

"How did you know it was me?" I asked. The blindfolded boy simply chuckled.

"Well, you aren't exactly light on your feet, now are you?" He said. I got angry and my Sharingan Eye appeared. The boy looked at me, well, I don't know about looked, he was blindfolded, but he apparently knew where my eyes were.

"Are you done yet?" I asked.

"Kakashi," said the boy. "I would like this young man to accompany us on the journey to the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Well...okay, I don't see why not" said the white haired ninja. He then continued walking and I followed the boy to the Hidden Leaf Village.

"By the way, you never told me your name" I said.

"Shoko Yūgure." Was all he said when we finally arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village. Once we arrived we were escorted to the Hokage's office. Well, I was escorted. The blind boy was walking around as if he lived there for years. Once we entered the office we were greeted by a blonde woman sitting in a desk.

"Kakashi, what's the report on your mission?" asked the woman.

"Lady Hokage, by the time we arrived, the Village Hidden in Shadows was destroyed. Shortly after that, we were attacked by a mysterious ninja, and as luck would have it, one survivor was there and managed to help us."

"And is that the attacker?" asked the Hokage, directing her eyes towards me. I was just about to attack when Shoko intervened.

"Of course not" he said. "I asked if he could accompany us and he accepted. I am Shoko Yūgure. This is Sinon Uchihara."

"Lady Hokage," I said with a bow.

"Well, greetings to you both. I am Tsunade. The Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village."

"It is an absolute pleasure" said Shoko. I raised an eyebrow. How can that guy be so friendly and social towards people?

"Well, as much as I would love to question the both of you at this time, I'm very busy."

"I noticed" I said. How can you not notice when there was piles and piles of paperwork all over the office?!

"Well, you both can stay at one of the hotels for the night until I question you, then it will be up to you if you wish to be a permanent resident."

"Wouldn't that just add to the piles of paperwork?" asked Shoko. How did he know about the paperwork?! I mean, it was everywhere, but not even a blind guy with possibly enhanced senses should be able to notice.

"Yes, but the people come first." Said Tsunade

"I couldn't agree more Lady Hokage." Shoko said before leaving the office, leaving a speechless me, and a super surprised Naruto in his wake.
