As the hooded figure walked into the cafe, nobody seemed to notice. The figure was wearing a black hooded cloak which seemed to blend into the dim lighting of the room. He walked past the crowds of people, towards the cloud ninja surrounding the fourth Raikage.

As he walked towards Ay, a dark man with blond hair stopped him.

"What's your business? "

The figure sighed.

"I need to speak to Lord Raikage. I have some business to attend to."

"Did you make an appointment?"

Ay looked up from his fourth bottle of sake.

"Let him through Darui! I'm not doing anything right now."

Darui stepped aside, allowing the figure to go forward. Ay was clearly drunk, and the figure could use that to his advantage if need be.

"Lord Raikage, I need to find Sasuke Uchiha."

Ay laughed.

"Have u tried Konoha? I guarantee that he'll be there."

"Thank you. I'll be off then."

The man left promptly.

Two days later, the man walked through the front gates. The sound of trees and leaves russling in the distance came into his ear. Wearing a red cloak this time, the man walked past a stand, which was selling books. He picked up a map, opened it, and walked in the direction of the Hokage office.

As he reached the large red building, he saw three men in front of the door, all wearing odd masks. One looked like a cat, another looked like a fox, and the final looked like something that the man couldn't quite put his finger on. 'Interesting', he thought to himself. The masks all were white, with a few shapes in red in random areas. Aside from the masks, it was how armed the men were. 'Anbu', he thought, remembering his father's teachings. 'They're probably the Hokage's security'. He walked to the front, as the man in the center of the formation stepped forward.

"What's your business?"

The figure sighed. How was he gonna explain this?

"I'm here to speak of an urgent matter with the Hokage. May I enter?"

The man who had asked chuckled a bit, and the cloaked man could imagine that he was smirking under the mask.

"He isn't here today. I'm afraid he's at home. Probably off training Naruto again. I'll let him know that you were looking for him tomorrow."

"Thank you."

The man left the inn in a hurry. He had an interview with Kakashi, the sixth Hokage. He was wearing a white cloak today, which was embroidered with red symbols. He had begun to fall in love with Konoha overnight. He was thinking that maybe he would stay here if the meeting with Kakashi went well.

He slipped through the crowds of people towards the Hokage's tower. He saw the same mask he did the day before, on what seemed like the right body.

"Come on in.", said the masked man. They walked into the tower quickly, and entered a big, fancy elevator. In a few minutes, they were knocking on the front door of the Hokage's office. A masked man with stark white spiky hair, and a black mask that covered his nose and mouth opened the door.

"Hello," he said as he led the figure to a seat in front of the only desk in the room. "My name is Kakashi Hatake. I am the sixth Hokage. I hear that you have business with me."

"Yes." Said the man.

"Might you take your hood off?"

"Oh! I almost forgot! Sorry."

He pulled down his hood. The first thing that Kakashi noticed was the fact that the man looked to be only around 15. He had caramel colored skin, and spiky short hair, about the same length as Naruto's was, when he was a child. He had creases under his eyes, in the same place that Itachi Uchiha had. He had stark, raven black hair. His dark eyes were intimidating to look at. He wore a jovial expression, resembling that of a certain someone that always faked it…

"My name is Yondome Uchiha. I have come, searching all the great ninja nations for my uncle, Sasuke Uchiha. I heard that he resided here. Is that true?"

Kakashi tried to hide his shock, but was unable to. Hearing that the teen standing before him was an Uchiha was unbelievable. The Uchiha were all but extinct! This couldn't be possible.

"I'm sorry… Did you just say that you were an Uchiha?"

Yondome looked at him thoughtfully.

"Yes, that is correct."

"I'm afraid to tell you that I don't believe that. The Uchiha are all but extinct."

"If that is true, forgive me for saying this, but how am I standing before you?"

Kakashi looked confused.

"That is what I am saying. I do not believe that you are an Uchiha. Forgive me this time, but I believe that you are lying to me. Are you even able to do a Sharingan?"

Yondome closed his eyes. He held them for a minute, then opened them back up, and the full Sharingan was revealed.

"Does this answer your question?"

Kakashi was shell shocked. How could he be an Uchiha?

"I guess I'll have an Anbu unit take you to his apartment."

"Thank you Lord Hokage."

The woman who opened the door wasn't who Yondome was expecting. She was about 5'5, and had short, pink hair. She had big green eyes, porcelain skin, and a confused look on her face, closely resembling the one that Yondome had on his.

"May I help you?"

"My name is Yondome Uchiha. Nice to meet you!"

Yondome had a legitimate smile on his face.

"Ummm… My name is Sakura Haruno. And did you say Uchiha?"

"I did say Uchiha. Forgive me for being so blunt, but why are you in my uncle's apartment!"

Sakura's jaw hit the ground. This was Sasuke's apartment! Sasuke didn't have any nephews or nieces… That she knew of.

"Sakura, who is that at the door?" It had come from a very smooth and soothing voice asked from somewhere inside the apartment.

And just like that, a man with slightly tanned skin, and dark black hair came behind her. The same color as Yondome's hair.

Sasuke almost fell over. The teen that stood before him looked JUST like Itachi.

"Who are-"

Sasuke couldn't even finish his sentence.

"My name is Yondome Uchiha. I am the son of Itachi Uchiha. I have travelled the ninja world looking for you. Now I have found you. Uncle."

Sasuke took a step back, almost fainting.

"How… How can this be?"

Yondome sighed.

"We might need to have you sit down."

They walked inside the large apartment, the red walls seeming to maze out through the rooms. It was magnificent! The three walked towards the large couch, and sat down.

"Are you ready?"

Sasuke slowly and shakily, shook his head yes.

"Alright. About twenty years ago, Orochimaru fought Itachi Uchiha, trying to take his eyes. He was cast under a genjutsu, being unable to move. As Itachi walked away, a single hair fell, and Orochimaru picked it up. Five years later, he cloned him, but they went wrong. I was the closest thing to the perfect clone, and by some miracle, I was able to obtain the Sharingan. You see, Orochimaru was never any good at cloning, and it's a wonder that I ended up as close to the real thing as I did. Orochimaru left, and never came back, and Itachi found me, taking me in, becoming my father. He thought me, trained me, and loved me. But he kept me hidden. He always did love you. One day, when I was eleven, he left, and told me to train for a year, and come to find you. He told me that he wouldn't be returning. He said that you were going to kill him that day, but not to hold any hard feelings towards you. And here I am, finally found you."

Just another one of Orochimaru's failed experiments. Sasuke quickly got over his shock, and started to formulate an idea.

Sasuke promptly stood up and walked into a room. He came back out with a shirt this time, which Yondome hadn't noticed had been absent from Sasuke's body before.

He then walked to the coat rack, grabbed his poncho and sword, then left.

Yondome looked at Sakura whose expression was one of surprise and concern. She looked at Yondome.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"What are you having?"

"Sake. Lots and lots of sake."

Sasuke slammed on the door so hard, the wood splintered and cracked.

A pale white and purple face opened the door.

"Yes Sasu-"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE UCHIHA PROJECT?!"

Orochimaru sighed.

"Yes Sasuke, you may come in. Would you like something to drink?"

"Don't play games with me. You came back to Konoha, and I thought that you were done with the secrets. What the hell is going on here?"

"Alright fine. A few years ago, I thought that I could clone Itachi. I was wrong, so Kabuto and I shut it down. Its that simple. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Well one of your clones just came to my house."

Orochimaru had the most surprised look yet.

"Did… Did he give you his name?"

"He said his name was Yondome."

Orochimaru sighed a breath of relief. He's the good one. The other ones are evil."

Sasuke had an angry look in his eye.

"Other ones?"

Orochimaru rolled his eyes.

"Look. The only thing I can advise you is to train him, make him become a shinobi. He has a lot of potential. It'd be a shame to waste it."

Sasuke turned away.

"Fine."

Three days later, Yondome rocketed to Johnin.

"You know," said Kakashi, as he signed the papers, "you could become an Anbu, if you wished."

"No thank you Lord Hokage. I want to wait until Uncle Sasuke trains me. Only one technique. That's all I want to learn, and then I'll join the Anbu."

Kakashi chuckled.

"Just what is your goal in life?"

"To surpass my father's reputation. I want to be better than him."

Kakashi's mind briefly flashed back to a happier time.

"You know what Yondome? You just might."
