Chapter 10

Yuuhi Family Secret- The Hidden Sword of Leaf

"Emi!" Called the voice of younger brother Kisho.

"What?" She asked as she folded her comforter and sheets, and laid it against the wall by her sister Mokoto's.

"Otto-san and Oka-san wants you. They're in the tearoom. Kurenai-nii san and Kakashi-san is there too."

"Why would Kakashi sensei be here?" Thought Emi as she stood up. "Okay. Thank you Kisho." She said.

"No prob." He said as he ran down the veranda of the girls' wing and down the stairs leading into the dirty courtyard, where his friends were waiting.

Emi slowly made her way down the wooden stairs to stall time. She wasn't sure if it was good or bad, knowing that her sensei was there. She could've easily just jumped off of the second floor and onto the dirt courtyard, but she decided to slowly make her way down the stairs, into the main entrance of the house. Emi dragged her feet as she managed to get all the way in front of the tearoom. She made her feet step up on the steps and she carefully slid open the door to the tearoom. Almost at once, the chatter inside stopped. She took of her shoes and stepped inside. Kakashi and Kurenai sat on each side of the table, whereas her parents both sat at the head of the table.

"Ah, Emi. Sit down." Said her father as he motioned her to sit at the opposite end of him and her mother.

"Otto-san, Oka-san." She said as she bowed towards her parents. They nodded in her direction. "Kakashi sensei, Kurenai-nii-san" She said, bowing once again.

"What did you want to discuss with me?" Asked Emi.

"Your ancestors once knew the first Hokage." Began her father. "Whoever was the head of the family at the time were friends with him. A sword was created with mass power, and named 'The Sword of Leaf", and is well known amongst the elderly. However, about thirteen or so years ago, the sword's safety was threatened, and we needed to hide it. At that time, your mother was pregnant with you, and so we decided to seal it in you since it was in our possession."

"What! So You're telling me, that I have a sword in me right now?" Emi blurted out, finding the words said to be a bit funny.

"Well, yes." Said her mother.

"Since it was hid in you, the name changed to 'The Hidden Sword of the Leaf' since now no one knows of it's presence except for us. We wouldn't have told you any of this except the fact that we found these ancient scrolls created during the generation of the first Hokage." Said her father.

"We're guessing that this is what they had in store for the sword anyways. It's fate was told by Fortune Teller Masagi, and so far, it claims to be true after we found this scroll a month ago." Said her mother.

"But what does it say?" Emi asked.

"Well, after hiding the sword in you, it's said that the sword will 'awaken'." Said Kurenai.

"Awaken?"

"Yes, awaken. You will be able to summon the Hidden Sword of Leaf at your own use. It is also only for you, since you are it's true owner." Said her father.

"W-wait. You mean it only works for me? What if someone else uses it?" Asked Emi, trying to comprehend the information being thrown at her.

"Well for one thing, the sword's jutsus won't work for them, and they will also be burned by it." Said Kakashi in his lazy voice. "Only when you slice it through the air, it performs a wind-slicing no jutsu automatically. However, that's only the basic of what it can do. It's done at your own will, of course. If you wish for the jutsu to activate, then it will, but if you are using it for combat, then it will be used for combat. Basically, you're controlling it, not anyone else."

"Is that all I can do with it?" Asked Emi.

"No," Paused her father. "It can do more. Some ancient jutsus were written by the creator himself, and that is why Kakashi sensei is here; to help you learn them. Otherwise, it's in your own hands- you can create new jutsus to be used by yourself."

"Well, thank you for telling me all of this, but besides the fact that I can summon it, why are you telling me this now?" Asked Emi.

"The chunnin exams are taking place, Emi." Said Kurenai. "Think about it- it won't be fair that you couldn't use your power. As harsh as it is, but you need this to pass. It's not cheating since it's what you were born with."

"So when do I begin training?" Asked Emi.

"First. . . ." Said her father. "You will have to be able to summon the sword."

"And how do I do that?" She asked, getting a bit annoyed with the blunt answers.

". . ."

"We can't tell you that. It's because we don't know ourselves." Said Kurenai. "Only you would be able to figure that out yourself."

End for now
