Uchiha Anu...

GO tournament

"Go home."

For being in service for the public, the Leaf Military Police Corps under the leadership of an Uchiha member, Anu, held his annual Go tournament that an Uchiha won every year and he has since he has played. However, Anu decided that his eldest son, Itachi, could take over. As people were getting to their tables in the street in front of the headquarters, Anu stopped his son.

"Remember your training," Anu said and let his son go to find a table around the corner. Returning to the score table, he waited for the results to come in. The Sage won against Asuma. Itachi went to put in his results.

"Where is your opponent?" Anu asked.

"Well, there was no one left to play at my table so I had to pull someone off the street," Itachi said and reached beside him to lift Shikamaru over the high table. "I didn't want to have fewer matches than everyone else."

"I suppose it cannot be helped," Anu said. "Better luck next time, boy."

"He won," Itachi said.

"Go home," Anu ordered Itachi and then asked Shikamaru, "What's your name, little boy?"

"Do you want to tell me again?" Itachi pushed the table in front of his father causing Shikamaru to fall off to the ground. "Do you think I want to be here?"

"Shikamaru," Shikato said, "where were you? Sorry officer, for the meddling of my son, he can wander off like the Cloud."

"I'm out of here," Itachi then said before he stormed off, "you are a worthy opponent."

"You should not apologize for your son, Shikato." Anu said. "He has beaten, though bad tempered, an exceptional player."

"His mother and I don't like him competing," Shikato said, "all that effort, and lessons and whatever. And the disappointment when we are too caught up in our son's victory that we can't ask him if he wants to compete or not. And what if he loses?"

"Shut up, you," the Sage punched him in the shoulder. He turned to Anu. "I don't know who you are."

"Master Aburame," Anu said, "you are here every year! And each time that you have played against me you have forfeited before we get to play and thank me for hosting.

"Is he speaking to your son," The Sage asked Shikato.

"No," Shikato said.

"Do you know about my memory lost?" The Sage asked.

"Yeah, you tell me every time we meet," Shikato said, "do I have to show you that movie again?"

"What do you want?" Anu tapped his pencil on the desk.

"Speak to your son," the Sage said, "I wish I had a son."

"You have three sons and two daughters," Anu corrected the Sage.

"Is that my son?" The Sage pointed at Shikamaru.

"Enjoy," Shikato tried to pass his son off to the Sage but Shikamaru bit him in the hand. "Hey, let's try to drop you off with Inoshin."

"But Ino is there!" Shikamaru grumbled as Shikato walked him away.

"A father who cannot remember his kids," Anu thought, "and a father trying to put his son off, I am the only normal parent."

"The father of Shinto, Shinobu, Shiko, Shiro, Shino," the Sage listed off his children, "and the teacher of Itachi, that is who I am. Now that I have noticed Itachi and see his relationship with his father, I am acting to intervene on this problem. It is a saying of my clan that if one member dies before becoming enlightened, then everyone older must die for their failure. As well, I forfeit, and thank you for hosting."

The Sage left and Anu's youngest son, Sasuke came up.

"Where's brother?" Sasuke asked.

"He's lost." Anu answered.

Homework Help

"Outside."

"Father," Itachi said bringing his notebook and textbook into the kitchen, "I am having problems with this problem."

"Good," Anu stated, "that is its duty."

"Well," Itachi said, "couldn't you give me some help? I don't think this throw in possible."

"It doesn't have to be," Anu said, "it is only a simplification of how it could work."

"Anu," Itachi's mother said, "I think you can help him with his problem.

"Never mind, I think I can throw a kunai to hit the target; it would give me extra credit." Itachi stated and ran outside.

"That's my son." Anu said.

"And that is why he wouldn't come to us for help," Emi said.
