A/N: Sorry this is such a short prologue! Much much more to come.
An Orphan
Her frail, dirty body was found by a patrol just outside the village. "What should we do with her?" one masked ANBU questioned the others.
"Bring her to the Hokage," another responded.
"A child was found injured outside of the village?" Fugaku Uchiha looked to Hizashi Hyuga with mild shock and interest.
"Yes. The Hokage is currently assessing the situation. All that is known is she is not a member of Leaf," Hizashi confirmed. "Most likely she'll be put up for adoption after a medical assessment."
Fugaku's eyebrows rose. "What of her family?"
"She claims she has none."
"What a scrawny child."
"She has no character!"
"Why was she abandoned? What's wrong with her?"
The prominent men of the village all looked on at the little girl. Her large hazel eyes took them in nervously. Jerkily she wiped stringy hair from her face. The scrutiny was unnerving.
From the crowd, a man moved forward. He eyed her critically for a moment and then his face softened. "What is your name little one?"
She fidgeted for a moment before replying softly, "Suki."
"Suki you say? A lovely name for a lovely girl! And how old are you Suki?" He smiled.
Staring around the group and then back to the kind man she murmured, "Five."
He laughed, "Why, I have a son who's six! Would you like to meet him? I think you two would be fast friends." When she nodded timidly, he took her by the shoulder. "Great. Let's go to my home then."
She cast one more look over her shoulder at the other men. All from prospective families. She felt lucky that this nice man chose her. "Um, sir?" she mumbled.
"Yes Suki?"
"I'm very sorry, but I don't know your name," she blushed deeply at her confession.
"Oh, I'm very sorry," he chuckled. "My name is Fugaku Uchiha, but you can call me Otousan," he winked.
