Sasuke just looked at the boy, who had entered the arena. The boy looked like he was, what, thirteen? He had raven hair and black eyes, however his skin was tanned. He wore a normal outfit, consisting of ANBU style pants, and a plain blue shirt with the Uchiha fan on one shoulder side and a spiral insignia on the other. The boy, Ryuu, just looked at the older Uchiha in front of him and smirked. He could tell he was stunned. He would make sure he'd humiliate him. Bad.
"Are both contestants ready?" Mifune asked them.
"Just a question Mifune-san. Are we allowed to use the sharingan? It isn't really classified as a ninjutsu." Ryuu asked politely, making Mifune smile at his manners.
"Yes it is. Anymore questions?" Mifune asked and glanced at the still shocked Sasuke. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said, "Hajime!" getting him out of his stupor.
"How the hell are you an Uchiha!? Your suppose to be in Konoha!" he exclaimed, getting his sword ready. Ryuu said nothing and unsealed his sword from his arm and held it, ready to attack.
"Answer me!" he yelled, and went in for an attack, slashing his sword down on the smaller boy, but Ryuu quickly blocked it.
"I don't have to answer you, you spoiled snob." the thirteen year old sneered, making the elder Uchiha see red and blindly attack him.

The Konoha group in the audience were shocked. More the Uchiha parents, than the rest.
"I didn't know that there was an Uchiha family in Ame." Minami stated.
"There shouldn't be. Not that I'm aware of any. Fugaku?" Mikoto asked her shocked husband. He just looked at the boy and couldn't help but think he was familiar. Like he knew him or...
"Its his son." he whispered, making them all wide eye. They knew perfectly well who he was talking about.
"H-He's son, are you sure!?" Mikoto asked him and he nodded.
"Hn. I know it is. The way he carries himself, he's like him when he was younger, but this boy doesn't have an emotionless façade. The way he fights...its exactly like him." he said and they all understood. Fugaku taught him personally, so he should know.
"Kushina look! He has an Uzumaki symbol on his shoulder." Mikoto pointed out. Kushina looked, as well as the rest, and soon enough, they saw it when he went into the attack.
"I don't know about you guys, but I want to know who that boy's parents are." Kushina said firmly.
"So am I." Mikoto said. Just then, two boys, about the age of ten, one raven haired and the other red-blonde ran in front of them and sat in the row in front o them.
"Alright nii-san! Show him whose boss!" the red-blonde exclaimed.
"Beat him to a bloody pulp!" the raven cheered, as they were both waving their hands in the air.
"Izu-nii, Ara-nii! Wait up! Your not suppose to leave us behind!" raven haired girl exclaimed, dragging behind her a blonde female, both looked to be about seven years of age.
"Sorry Akane, we didn't want to be late for Ryuu-nii's match."
"Its alright Arashi-nii, Izuna-nii. We were just a bit slow." the blonde said.
"Nuh uh, Hikari. Kaa-san said they had to wait for us." Akane huffed.
"Just be quite! Your missing the match Dattabane." Izuna snapped irritated by the bickering. Why did Akane always make things difficult? Why couldn't she be like Hikari.
"Fine!" she said, "Go Ryuu-nii!" she cheered. Unknown to them, the Konoha group behind them heard everything they said.
"K-Kushina's verbal tic?!" Mikoto whispered and Tsunade just got up and left without a word.
"Shishou?" Sakura, her apprentice and self proclaimed Sasuke's girlfriend called out to the busty blonde.
"What's wrong with her?" Minami whispered, as they were all talking in hush voices so the four children in front won't hear them.
"They really are Uzumaki." Kushina said in disbelief. Mikoto squeezed her friend's hand for comfort. Kushina had never found any other Uzumakis, so knowing that there were still some left, even in Ame, meant a lot to her. Mikoto looked at her husband and couldn't help but giggle at his gaping mouth.
'An Uchiha with that cursed tic!? And one named Izuna on top of that!?'
He was having a mental breaking alright.
"Don't worry dear. Its not that bad." Mikoto said, as if reading his thoughts.

"Uzumaki Style: Lion Strike!" Ryuu said, and Sasuke barely could dodge the attack. He'd admit, the boy was strong and it even hurt his pride to know that it was hard to keep up with him.
"Your not much of a challenge you know." he heard a voice suddenly behind him and a sword slashed across his back.
"Ugh!" he yelled back his scream. Man it hurt as hell! "You! Stand still so I can hit you!" he said, swinging his sword, but Ryuu just dodged it.
"Really now. Is that how you expect to win a fight?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just up!" he yelled and lunged for the smaller boy, who just side stepped and all the other attacks. Ryuu suddenly, in one swift movement, grabbed Sasuke's unoccupied hand and twisted around his back, threw him on the ground, with his knee adding pressure and his sword at his neck.
"Do you yield?" he asked as the audience went deathly silent after seeing his beautiful movement. Not many could do all of that and added to his earlier performance, they were impressed. But for that match to end fast, that was another thing.
"Winner of the first match, Ryuu Uchiha!" Mifune said, after Sasuke stayed silent and just gritted his teeth. Ryuu just smirked and before he got off, he whispered into the older Uchihas ear,
"Being beaten by a little boy? How pathetic and your suppose to be clan head, oh that's right you weren't suppose to." and then began walking out. Now Sasuke just couldn't the boy. he kept taunting him and what's next? The boy humiliated him and won the match! So without another though he yelled,
"Fire Style: Great Fire Ball Jutsu!" and it headed towards the boy, getting cries of terror from the audience. Ryuu never bothered looking back and just said,
"Uzumaki Sword Style: Flying Dragon: Blaze." effectively cancelling out the fire.
"Honestly, you still couldn't lay a finger on even when you aimed for my back with ninjutsu. Last time I checked, it was dishonorable to strike after a match." he smirked at his enraged faced, "Don't you know anything?" he shock his head in mock disappointment.
"Sasuke Uchiha. You have dishonored our ways and traditions by attack after the match was called to an end. You are hereby disqualified from this tournament effectively for the coming three years." Mifune said angrily, only adding more anger to Sasuke's rage, but he didn't say anything. He just got out of the arena.

"Yeah! Of course nii-san won! That other guy stood no chance!" Arashi cheered from the audience.
"I know right! Come on, let's go see him." Akane exclaimed, dragging her blonde twin along.
"N-Nee-chan, tou-san said we have to wait for either him or kaa-san to come here." Hikari said, trying to struggling out of her sister's grasp.
"Its alright Hikari. Kaa-san is with Rei-nee, helping her with some last minute tournament things, so we'll met then there." Izuna reassured her and then they all got up and left as the next match was being called. The Konoha group, who were listening in on their conversation looked at one another and nodded.
"Let's go." Kushina said, leading the way.
"I hope-I pray its him." Mikoto smiled sadly.

At the Kage booth, Minato was trying to get over the fact that here was another Uchiha family in Ame of all places. He though of all the possible people and when the only person came into his mind, he growled. He would make the Uchiha pay for what he did to his son. Sure he wasn't the greatest father, something he regretted to this day, but he won't let him around so freely. Not after the crime he committed.
"I didn't know there was an Uchiha family in Ame, Hokage-dono. I thought all Uchihas lived in Konoha?" Mei asked, surprised like the res of the Kages, though Gaara's was unreadable.
"Neither did I. I believe I'll go see if he really is an Uchiha, or just using the clan name later on." he said, not looking at her. Unconsciously, he was leaking out killing intent, making the other Kage's keep their mouth shut.
'I'll make sure you pay for your crimes well Uchiha.' he thought darkly.

The four children made their way through the busy streets of the Iron country, unknowingly, they were being followed.
"Where do you think they are?" Hikari asked.
"Maybe near the enterance, where the participants enter." Izuna shrugged.
"Let's go check it out." Arashi said, but they had just then saw their older brother come out.
"Ryuu-nii!" they exclaimed, and he looked at their direction and smiled. They were all a close-knit family, it was how they were raised.
"Ohayo mina! What are you guys doing here?" he asked then, after hugging them each.
"We were looking for Kaa-san and Tou-san. Rei-nee went with Kaa-san for some last minute preparations and Tou-san had to take Yuna and Haru to the bathroom." Akane answered.
"We saw your match nii-san. It was awesome!" Arashi grinned.
"Of course! No one can beat him dattabane!" Izuna smirked, swing his arm over his twin brother.
"Ano, are you alright aniki?" Hikari asked, making him smile. Hikari was very polite out of the four and had always worried about everyone, even when it wasn't necessary.
"Hai. I'm alright." he answered, ruffling her hair. He shifted his eyes to a group of people who were following his siblings, and didn't seem to recognize them.
'I wonder what they want?' he thought as he saw them approaching him.
"Hello. Is there something the matter?" he asked.
"Ryuu-nii, they were following us ever since we left the stadium." Arashi said, glaring at the unknown group, somewhat shocking them.
"I'm Fugaku Uchiha, clan head of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha. You're all Uchihas I presume?" Fugaku asked.
"Yes, we are." Ryuu said, "Do you not believe me?" he questioned when he saw them all glancing one another.
"What are you doing in Ame?! All Uchihas are suppose to be in Konoha?!" Sakura screeched.
"Waaa! Aniki, what the hell is wrong with her!?" Akane said, holding her ears.
"Its her voice! Oh it burns!" Izuna cried out, making the siblings laugh.
"We wanted to ask if we could met your parents." Mikoto asked.
"Well we're actually looking for them-oh there's tou-san and the twins now!" Arashi pointed out, as they saw two three year old children, the female being held in one arm and the other male twin seated on a man's shoulders. However, it was the person who was with them that made them choke on their words.
"Tou-san! We were waiting for you. What took you guys so long?" Akane asked as Yuna, the female three year old twin ran up and hugged her sisters.
"Sorry, we had to make a detour somewhere and when we heard the match was over, we came here." he answered, not yet noticing the Konoha team as he was shifting Haru, the male three year old on his shoulder, along with the bags in his hands.
"Ne, ne, tou-san, Ryuu-nii won!" Izuna exclaimed, making him smile.
"Of course he did." he smiled, ruffling the eldest hair. "He's your brother. Its what you get for training really hard."
"Ano, tou-san, these people here wanted to talk to you." Hikari said, gesturing to the Konoha group. Turning slightly to where he's daughter was, he froze at the sight of the people in front of him. They all stared at him and him at them, until Mikoto spoke up,
"I-Itachi..." she began, but was cut off, when an angry red head ran past her.
"Where is he?! Tell me!" Kushina exclaimed, as she was being held back by her daughter.
"Kaa-san, please calm down! If you kill him then we'll never know!" Minami ttied to reason with her. Itachi just looked at them, not really believing that after all these years, he would actually see them again.
"Itachi are these your children?" Mikoto asked, seeing that her husband's brain shut down, Kushina wanted to kill her son, Minami was holding her back and the pink haired girl that she really didn't like was going to talk nonsense.
"Hello mother, you're looking well and yes, these are my children including another, Rei. She's Ryuu twin sister." he said with a stoic straight face.
"You were in Ame this whole time?" Fugaku asked, suddenly finding his voice.
"Yes, its where we live." he answered.
"Tou-san, who are these people?" Haru asked, still seated on his shoulders.
"These are Mikoto Uchiha and her husband, Fugaku Uchiha. They're your...grandparents." he said.
"Oh? Ohayo! My name's Haru and this is my twin Yuna. Its nice to met you." he said, getting down and standing beside he's twin.
"Ooo, your so cute!" Mikoto couldn't help but coo, making the younger children smile. Haru had blonde hair, while Yuna had raven hair. Kushina, however, was seeing red. This man dared to ignore her, after what he did!?
"Tell me! What did you do to him!?" she yelled, angry tears threatening to come.
"What are is she talking about?" Arashi asked, but he wasn't answered as new people began arriving.
From the stadium, Natsumi, whose match was said to be the after the small break that had happened, had left the to go see the Uchiha that had beaten Sasuke, somewhat still shocked that there were Uchihas that lived in Ame, but Sasuke was being his annoying self and was following her outside. When she went outside, she saw the group that came with them from Konoha and her mother being held down by her twin sister. There were also the boy that beat Sasuke and other younger children, that seemed to he's younger siblings, but what made her freeze in her tracks was the man with them. The one that they had all hated.
"Wha the matter Natsumi-chan?" Sasuke asked, catching up to her. Not getting a reply, he followed her line of sight and he too froze. He wasn't suppose to be here. He was never found and yet, when they weren't looking, he's here? Without a word, both of them made their way to the little group that was gaining attention from the bypasses. They arrived, just as another group did.
As the break was signaled, Minato didn't waste a second as he got up and left the Kage booth. He had one task to accomplish and that was to know the parents of that child. Behind him were two guard acting shinobi, Kakashi his student and Jiraiya, his sensei. They both were also wondering about the Uchiha from Ame.
"Sensei? Were there any Uchihas that ever left the village?" Kakashi asked, but the dark aura that surround the blonde Hokage had shut him up.
"I don't think we should ask him anything. You and I both know how much he hates him." Jiraiya whispered, making him nod. They glanced at one another and hoped that it wouldn't come to the worse case scenario.
But Kami-sama wasn't on their side.
Just as they reached the enterance oft he tournament, they saw Kushina being held by Minami's chakra chains, Mikoto looked worried, Fugaku actually looked...lost and the pink haired girl-well how cares, she was not important. They then caught sight of the boy who beat Sasuke and other younger children, but what caught their attention, was the man that was there. The one who was the main reason-in Minato's case-that he's family was ton apart.
Itachi Uchiha.
Anger took over all sense of self control he had and went in to lung at the raven, but was held, just like Kushina by Jiraiya and Natsumi, who had just arrived with Sasuke.
"You! Give me back my son! What did you do to him?!" Minato yelled.
"Oi Minato! You're he Hokage, don't make a scene!" Jiraiya said, desperately pulling him back.
"Please, tou-san, kaa-san, people are looking!" Natsumi exclaimed, glancing at the ever so large crowd forming. Mikoto looked at her friend and husband and than at her own husband and her youngest. Sasuke became very much like Fugaku, just staring at Itachi. As for Itachi, he found the entire thing amusing.
"What the hell do you people want from our dad huh? Are all people from Konoha barbarians!?" Akane yelled, making them stop.
"Ano, Hokage-sama, if there is a problem do you mind telling us?" Hikari asked and Minato looked at the girl, is eyes slightly widening. She had blond hair, and blue eyes, just like himself, but even though Natsumi had his blonde hair, she looked exactly like Kushina The only person who looked like him was...
"What the hell is going on here!?" they heard an angry voice and immediately, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the voice. The faces of the children lit up, Itachi's hardened looks softened, and the rest of them there had looks of shock and happiness. Right there stood there was a girl, about thirteen, who had red-raven hair and clear blue eyes. She had a confused look on her face. On her left was a very, very smug looking Tsunade, much to their shock and on the younger girl's left was a blonde haired male, who could easily be mistaken for a female. His hair was long, reaching his waist. He had clear blue eyes, that kept changing to red slit eyes, showing his anger. The Namikaze family all called his name at the same time,
"Naruto..."
So that's all for this chapter! The next chapter will be a flashback to show what happened before in Konoha and why Kushina and Minato are so angry. Hope you enjoy so far!
