Chapter 4. Fighting for Something

No one had said a word. Akito was staring wide eyed at his daughter, sharingan deactivating from his shock. Obito was grinning and Kakashi was fighting one. Fugaku smirked and looked at Miki who was shaking from rage. "Looks like her Uchiha blood is stronger than either of you thought."

Miki glared at him. "Your son is so sweet, we wouldn't want anything to happen to him."

Both Fugaku and Makoto tensed at the threat, and Kakashi tightened his grip on Itachi, knowing that a war could start. "Enough," Kasara said. "Mom, I want to fight you. If I win you have to back down and apologize to Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Makoto."

Miki sniffed and stuck her nose in the air disdainfully. "I don't have to fight a spoilt eight-year-old who needs to learn her place."

"I know mine, but do you know yours?" Kasara wasn't going to back down.

Obito watched his favorite cousin and her mother. "Kas, I'm going to stand over there," he kissed her head and went to stand by Rin and Minato.

Miki stared at her daughter before rolling her eyes. "Only to put you in your place."

Akito hesitated before going to stand by his brother. "What do you think will happen?" he asked.

Fugaku didn't look at him. "Even a half-Uchiha child is stronger than any other ninja."

Akito felt a smirk spreading across his face. "Still so prideful, brother."

Kakashi watched the two estranged brothers interaction before setting his eyes on the fight that was about to start.

"Kasara will win," Makoto said softly. "Miki has become bitter, but Kasara's fighting for something important to her."

"What does that mean?" Kakashi asked.

Makoto looked at him and smiled. "Whenever someone has something to fight for with everything in them, they become even stronger. Some of the greatest only won their battles because of that."

"That's dumb," Kakashi murmured.

Makoto laughed. "That's what a lot of people say."

Miki stood boredly in front of her daughter. Kasara carefully watched her mother, not allowing the discomfort she felt to show on her face. The people on the sidelines watched the mother and daughter face off. Obito's eyes were flicking back and forth while Kakashi kept his eyes focused on the girl. Kasara had a plan forming in her head. It might just work. She took a small breath and threw shuriken at her mom, missing on purpose.

Miki dodged lazily and flicked kunai at her daughter. She dodged most of them, but got scratched on her face. Kasara darted around her mom tossing more shuriken, creating an invisible web. Miki pricked her finger and made a few hand signs. "Hidden blood style: bloody blades."

Kasara narrowed her eyes, watching the path the three blades were taking towards her. She jumped up, twisting so that she passed through two of the blades and purposely got a cut on her arm from the third. She landed in a crouch and touched her hands to the ground, channeling her chakra into the carefully constructed web that had awaited activation. Miki couldn't get out, but Kasara was exhausted. Nikki's eyes narrowed in disgust. No child of hers would be a ninja; even if she had to handicap said child to ensure it.

Obito was the one who had started this, he would be the one she targeted. "Hidden blood style: bloody destruction," she murmured with a smirk.

Kasara barely had time to see the chakra shifting near her cousin before the blood started rising. She sucked in a breath. Her chakra was so low, and she couldn't hold her mother and stop this. With a growl she released her mother and covered her arm with her hand. "Blood Override!" she shouted.

A wave her blood covered and absorbed the blood rising around Obito. "Don't screw with my family," she hissed, vision fading.

Miki appeared behind her, a kunai aimed for the place on her spine that connected the nerves in her legs to her brain. Everyone with was frozen with shock. "Do something!" Fugaku exclaimed to his brother.

Akito hesitated, causing Fugaku to move. He grabbed Miki's arm and twisted it, forcing her to drop the kunai. "Kasara won this fight. You stay away from my niece."

Kasara started to fall and Fugaku caught her with one arm. "Don't do anything stupid, Riku," he said before picking her up.

He cradled her gently and went to the rest. "Is she alright?" Makoto worried.

"She's just drained of chakra," Fugaku said wearily.

The Sandaime walked over to them, chewing a bit on his pipe. "We'll, it's obvious that she needs to be a shinobi and wants to; however, it also seems, Akito, that your wife needs some help before Kasara can safely live in your home again."

Akito looked stricken, he was losing his baby girl. Everything had been fine two days ago. How had it changed so drastically? How had he let it change so drastically? "We'll need a place she can stay," Hiruzen chewed on his pipe.

"She could stay with me," Kakashi said, making the people present look at him. "I'm pretty much on my own, so she wouldn't be in my way. It wouldn't put a burden on any other families, either."

"Well, Fugaku-sama, she's an Uchiha. What do you say," Hiruzen asked.

"That's fine, but she can come stay with us at any time," Fugaku said. "I want her to stay with us until she recovers."

The Sandaime nodded. "She's on your team Minato. Take care of her."

Minato bowed and the Hokage left. "We'll be heading home," Makoto said with a small smile at the boys worrying over her niece. "Obito, Kakashi, why not come with us? You can wait for her to wake up."
