I have no idea where this came from, but I've always liked the idea of the Uchihas being obsessed with perfection and rejecting the members of their clan who aren't perfect. It may not be the way they do it, but just pretend it is for this story. This is totally not cannon and most of the characters are OC. It takes place in between the Land of Waves Arc and the Chuunin Exams Arc.

When Uchihas Come To Town

Prologue

Seventeen years ago

Naka and Naori Uchiha entered their village and were immediately accosted by Naori's brother, Inabi Uchiha.

"Naka…" groaned a woman's voice, "I'm scared!"

"I know. You can do this."

"Are you okay?" the military man Inabi asked, eyeing Naori's swollen belly and dishevelled state. He gazed over their faces and noted broken expressions, though he saw no reason why they should be upset.

"Naka, I need you to move between my legs to catch the baby. Please…"

"I can see the head…"

"She went into labour on the way back from the hot springs," Naka said in a low voice. "It was a stillborn."

"It's a boy," he whispered. "A little boy…"

"Can I hold him?"

Naori burst into tears and Inabi quickly gathered her in his arms. "Shh, it's okay Naori. It's just one child. You can have more and they'll be strong enough to survive. Obviously it wasn't fit to be an Uchiha."

"Naka… he only has one arm!"

"What? No…"

The leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha, approached the trio with his mask in place. "Am I correct in assuming that the birth did not go well?"

"This can't be happening!"

"He can never be one of us. The clan won't let him."

Naka bit his lip. "No. We have no child for you to welcome."

"There was a farmhouse nearby. Maybe he'd be accepted there. Whatever happens, it'll be better than whatever was in store at home. They'd never let a one-armed boy join the clan."

"A pity," Fugaku said emotionlessly. He spun on his heel and retreated up the street. People had stopped to stare at Naori and Naka's shaking forms and quickly realised why.

"I only held him once."

"Naori, we couldn't leave the clan for him. You know that. We couldn't bring him with us either. He'd live under the disproving stares of everyone else and that's no way for a child to live. We can have other children and it'll be like he never existed."

"Somewhere out there is our son and we'll never see him again!"

Naori gripped Inabi's jacket tightly and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Inabi. I wish we could have brought you news of a nephew…"

"It'll be okay. We can always work to change the clan's ideals and bring him back when we have. For now, we can find comfort in the knowledge that the woman who has him is kind."

"You're right Naka. Our clan would never let him join us. They'd see him as weak. I'll always miss him but this way he gets a better chance at living a good life."

"It doesn't matter as long as you're okay," Inabi said honestly, rubbing her arms for comfort. "Come on, let's get you two home."

Five years ago

Naka and Naori Uchiha stood with their kunai at the ready, eyes narrowed at the cloaked figure approaching them. How dare he threaten the clan! How dare he end a life like it was nothing!

Naka attacked first, stunning with a fireball jutsu and leaping at the figure through the flames. He gasped as a sword pierced his belly and he fell to the ground, dead.

Naori screamed in anguish and threw as many kunai and shuriken as she could, but none of them hit the figure. The sword also pierced her belly and she was cast aside beside her dead husband.

They died then, the knowledge of their only son dying with them.
