-Signal Academy. Afternoon. Principal's Office-
-Souma Uchiha's POV-
I stand before General Ironwood as he scan my body. I can see that his eyes are filled with questions.
Souma: "Of course, I'll answer your questions the best I can sir."
James: "Hahaha is that so? I thank you for that. Come sit."
I take a sit in front of him, dad sits next to me.
James: "Alright it's been a year since we last saw each other...how are you adjusting to your new life."
Souma: "It's been very good sir, mom and dad have treating me kindly. Plus I have two loving sisters waiting for me back home...though by the time I return I'm afraid that Yang will beat me up for leaving her and Ruby will continuously pout until I bake her cookies.
James: "Hahahaha sounds like your having the time of your life."
Souma: "Indeed sir, I've been blessed that I found caring family."
When dad hear this he tears up slightly...ah I forget he's the sensitive type.
James: "That's good to hear. Summer also inform me about your training and how you quickly adapted yourself in combat. And I just heard you won your spar against one of the top students here in the academy. Impressive."
Souma: "...Um..Thank you sir."
How did he know about that?
James: "And your eyes...Summer also told me you've learned new techniques which expand to various elements beside what we knew which is fire and lightning."
Souma: "What mother said is correct. I've learned to master the basic elements such as fire, water, earth, wind and lightning."
The general then place his hand on his chin contemplating what I had just said.
James: "And you are able to achieve this without the need of Dusts?"
Souma: "Yes sir...I can use these techniques without the need of Dusts."
The general then closes his eyes contemplating and then opens it as he look at me.
James: "Souma you do know what Dusts are?"
I nod to his question.
Souma: "Yes sir. Dusts are primary source of energy in our daily life primarily in weapons, back then the four kingdom waged war to obtain these resources but eventually compromised. There are four basic type of Dust which are fire, water, earth, and wind. Each of these elements allow the user to use their natural energy such as a fire dust has a burn/explosive effect if handle correctly and the rest is as follow."
James: "Good, despite your age. You ability to study and comprehend the knowledge you've obtain goes to show with effort you can achieve anything."
General Ironwood seem please with my assessment.
James: "However because of this I'm sure you realized what it means if someone found out you can use various elements in combat without the need of Dust...whats more is that it's not part of your Semblance but your natural ability...my best guess is that your high amount of Aura allows you to adapt said elements in a unique way."
What he say holds water...if other kingdoms discover what I can do they will try to convince me to align with them..worse case they'll force me to.
Souma: "I understand sir."
James: "Good, It's best that you avoid using your power unless the situation deems it. Now then, my next question would be this...do you know where your 'friend' is now? The one that attack Qrow, Summer and Ozpin."
My eyes widen and I look down to avoid looking at him.
Souma: "N-no sir."
Dad then pat my head.
Tai: "You can tell us son, we're here to keep you safe. We just want to know where it is."
I look at then and nod.
Souma: "Its' asleep...I don't really know where it is...it always show itself on a whim."
I see the general tap the table with his finger.
James: "I see, can't be help if you do see it do inform your parents okay."
Souma: "Yes sir."
James: "Anyways, my last question would be, can you read this book? I found it in one of the chambers."
I see the general hand me a book...I see a familiar symbol of a fan on it...I reach out and hold the book.
I can't seem to remember what the book is but for some reason I can understand it. I begin to read and finally understood what this book is...it's a diary.
Souma: "It's a diary sir...from one of my relatives it seems."
James: "Your relatives?"
Souma: "Yes...it says here, this book belongs to Akane Uchiha...it's a girl's diary."
James: "I see then I assume that there are stuff there involving boys and fashion."
The general laughs lightly but I simply sat there preoccupied in this person's life...an Uchiha...someone beside me.
Souma: "No sir...it's more than that."
James: "Oh, what does it say?"
At first I hesitate to tell him but...I'll trust him because mom and dad trust him.
Souma: "It's involves a death of one of my family."
-Flashback. Uchiha Compound. Year Unknown.-
-Akane Uchiha's POV-
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
"*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*"
I retreat back as I use my kunai to parry my opponent's attacks. She and I are panting heavily, I've lost trek how long we have fought. As we're about to continue I hear my master speak.
Master: "Enough."
The two of us look at our master. She's currently looking at use with her Sharingan while drinking her tea.
Master: "You've done well both of you and improve since your last bout. Though Akane...I still sense hesitation from you."
Akane: "Hieeee!"
I jump as I see my master glare at me..I quickly hid behind my friend's back.
Master: "*Sigh* If you wish to protect this clan then you must have the strength to control your emotion...otherwise."
My master suddenly flicker and disappear from my sight then all of a sudden I see a kunai inch away from my eye.
Master: "You'll die."
I gulp and nod...I then see the master giving me her warm smile
Master: "Good. Akane, Eri you may leave and rest."
The two of us bow and left the training area. We went to the shower room to get ourselves clean. We took off our clothes and feel the warm water touches our body.
Akane: "*Sigh* Eri...I messed up big time."
I said with slight tears in my eye.
Eri: "It's okay Akane, you've improve a lot plus if the master teaches you something that means she care for you."
I see her looking down feeling sad.
Akane: "Eri...what's wrong?"
I look at her worryingly.
Eri: "It's my Sharingan...you and I both have 3 Tomoe and yet I feel like we're not making any progress..."
I understand her frustration...what she say is indeed true... She and I have mastered our Sharingan and yet for some reason we can't advance it.
Eri: "We constantly ask Master if there's a way to improve it? She gives us the same answer which is 'The time has yet to come for our clan'"
She said it with a tone of contempt. For a moment I see her Sharingan activates.
I walk up to her and calm her down by holding her shoulder.
Eri: "I...I just hate feeling this useless...the clan needs us to be strong and yet they themselves are incapable of evolving their Sharingan. Look at our Clan Head."
I quickly place my hand on her mouth, she shouldn't badmouth those in upper echelon.
Akane: "Hey, it's okay we'll eventually be strong."
Eri: "WHEN!?"
She push my hand aside and yell at me...I never seen her this mad before...seeing her Sharingan...for a moment I was scared.
Eri: "We're at war Akane! Those filthy Senju think little of us and nothing but pushovers. They failed to see that our clan have always been on top and now the other three clans are slowly joining the Senju to overthrow us."
*BAM*
She hit the wall using her fist.
Eri: "Aren't you upset?...Your parents were killed by them...and our numbers are dwindling."
The moment she mentioned my parents...I recall back my mother loving smile and warmth...I missed her cooking.
Eri seeing my face realized what she just had said.
Eri: "Akane...I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."
I shook my head and hug her...the warm water touches our body...the two of us eventually calm down.
Akane: "Like you said...we have to be strong for the clan. Plus I heard the clan master have selected an heir to be our next leader."
Eri: "Really!?"
I nod in excitement.
Akane: "Rumor has it, the next leader is a prodigy and mastered the Sharingan at the age of 3."
Eri: "NO WAY! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! WHY DIDN'T WE HEAR ABOUT IT."
Eri's jaw drop, I laugh at her reaction.
Akane: "SHHH! The reason why is because the Clan Head wish to keep it quiet to avoid the enemies from finding out, right now the boy is training intensively. See Eri, we can't be too emotional like master said. We must have a calm mind and plan ahead."
Eri nod.
Akane: "Wanna spy the new future head."
I said while grinning.
Eri: "Of course."
We quickly took our shower and left to spy. But before we could we were summoned by our master.
We flicker and arrived out of thin air and kneel in front of our master.
Master: "We have an assignment for you. Escorting one of our trader to this village."
I grab the scroll (Author: Not the phone) from her hand and the two of us read it.
Eri: "We'll get the job done."
Eri said it in a calm voice.
Master: "Good, be careful those Senju are up to something. This is a delicate time, with the training of our next clan master underway, we can't afford the time to be reckless. When you return.. I'll teach you how to evolve your eyes."
Eri and I look at our master with a surprise look on our face.
Eri: "Master! have we finally found a way to improve our Sharingan."
She nods at Eri's question.
Master: "Yes...it seem that our young master have discovered a way to evolve our eyes."
Eri and I look at each other and nod
Akane: "Yes master, we'll return with quick haste once the assignment is done."
Eri and I flicker out of the room and look at each other.
Eri/Akane: "YAAAAAAYYY!"
We couldn't contain our excitement.
Akane: "We're finally going to evolve our Sharingan Eri!"
Eri: "I can't wait! let's finish the job lickity split."
She raise a fist pump and we left the premise.
As we walk, we accidentally bump into someone at the corner.
Akane: "Ah! sorry!"
I bend down to pick up scrolls scatter on the floor, Eri help out as well.
?: "No it's my fault...I was holding too many scrolls. I couldn't see where I was going."
I hear a child voice, I look up to see a cute boy wearing a white kimono. He smile as I handed him his scrolls.
?: "Um..who might you be elder sisters?"
Akane: "Ah..I'm Akane and this is Eri."
Souma: "Hello I'm Souma! Age 10"
He said his name with a bright smile on his face. the two of use look at each other and nod.
-Chibi Time-
Eri and I pull Souma's cheeks
Eri: "You're so gosh darn cute."
Akane: "They're so squishy."
Souma: "..."
-End-
Souma: "My cheeks hurt."
Eri and I clasp our hand together and apologized to red cheeked Souma.
Akane: "Sorry Souma..you're so cute."
Souma: "Ahahah it's fine I rarely talk to people...I enjoyed it, are you going outside?"
We nod, saying we're going out for a mission.
Souma: "Ah...I'm jealous...I'm trap reading cause grandfather told me it's dangerous outside."
Eri: "EH! You've never been outside?"
Souma: "No...All I see is the morning sun and well as the moon."
Akane: "Oh..well you're grandfather was not wrong. We're living in dangerous time Souma, so it's better to be safe than sorry."
I see Souma looking downcast..Eri then walked up to him and rubs his head.
Eri: "When the time comes and the war is over, Akane and I will bring you out to see the outside world."
His eyes begins to sparkle.
Souma: "REALLY!?"
We both nod to each other.
Akane: "Yes."
Souma: "Thank you! Ah! I better go, I have to study now! Bye elder sisters."
We wave goodbye and laugh. What a sweet child.
-End Flashback.-
-Souma Uchiha's POV-
Souma: "That all I can read...the rest of the pages is too worn off and I don't recognize some of the letters."
I said it while looking at dad and General Ironwood.
James: "I see, well at least we learned something from this...there are 5 clans back then...the Uchiha which is your clan, the Senju who were your rival clan and 3 others. Your clan was at war with the Senju."
Tai: "But..where did they go? Why haven't heard stories about them."
Dad look at the general looking confused.
James: "That...that I'm not so sure. Maybe Ozpin can shed some light into this...in the mean time I'll bring this finding to him."
Souma: "Umm...General Ironwood..sir?"
James: "Yes."
Souma: "May I ask that I keep this book...I don't have much item to remember home by...this book I hold now...it doesn't look much, but it held story from my clan...a clan that I can't remember."
The general smile and pats my head.
James: "Of course you may and if you find out anything promise you'll tell me."
I nod and smile
Souma: "Promise."
James: "Atta boy, well then I've taken too much of your time. You may leave now..I thank you for your assistance."
Tai: "Sure James. Come along now Souma, let's head home...I can imagine the pain once we get home...maybe we should buy them cookies to appease them."
I didn't say much but nod rapidly...I would anything to escape Yang's tantrum.
After we be bought the necessary items(bribe) we board the ship and made our way back home.
...While inside I see dad sleeping...I held the book tightly and calm myself...I lied back there when I said I couldn't read the rest...and I'm sure the general is aware of that.
I open the book and continued reading,
Because I saw something that interest me greatly...
The secret to unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan.
TO BE CONTINUE...
Author: "By now you are aware what is the purpose of this arc.
The purpose is to establish the lore which combine of Naruto and RWBY in a way that made sense.
With this I can progress the story without too much of a conflict once I've establish the story.
Plus I'm the type of guy that wants to expand and actually build up my characters instead of giving them op powers from the get go."
