The funeral for the Uchiha Clan was attended by every prominent clan of Konoha. It was held several months after the Kyuubi attack.

By the new year in February, Sasuke is being watched by his Godmother, Kushina, when his older brother Itachi is at the Academy with the us. Obito threw himself into learning how to be the best ninja he could. He's different, now that he's one of the only people who can uphold the Uchiha name. Shisui is trying not to run himself ragged by taking missions, but he's currently the only chunin in the Uchiha clan.

I've talked him out of going for Jonin just yet- he might get higher paying missions, but those are inherently unsteady. Chunin's get paid less for longer- you can raise children as a chunin where you can't as a jonin. He agreed with me eventually.

I have to talk to my sisters, and then to my best friend, Itachi- he's the head of his clan now. My sisters follow me already, so they shouldn't have too much problem with what I want- but Itachi might. It's just- I don't think Itachi understands what I, we, mean when we tell him we have to do something because of Clan Law.

I don't think he's put it together that if we're obliged to do things we don't enjoy- like wear veils, or care for the stupid sheep, or wear the fucking woolen clothing of a trainee then- if we have to do the things we don't want, we're also forbidden from doing things we do want to do. Like expand the monies we get from Mother's estate to support the Uchiha's.

If they were nominally part of our clan, we could do that. If we hire them as guards, we can do that too.

Our clans were very proud. I think.

Or just very very cheap.
