A Chuunin team from the Leaf Village discovered Tachi in the woods while returning from a mission. He wouldn't wake up, he was severely beaten and dried blood covered most of his face. With the help of their Jonin, they safely took Tachi to the medical center inside the Leaf Village. The Medical Ninja did their best to heal Tachi for a week and a half. Tachi was now in a stabled condition, the medical ninja were relieved. They knew he was an Uchiha by the symbol on the back of his shirt, which made them work even harder. When Tachi awoke, a doctor stood in front of him.
"Hello, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked concernedly.
"..Nng... I'm... I'm very sore." Tachi replied, his mind began to pick up while he woke up more, "Where am I?" he asked, looking around stiffly, due to the pain and bandages.
"I'm Doctor Honda, and you're in the hospital. What happened to you, and what is your name?" Doctor Honda took a seat at Tachi's bedside.
"Hospital? Am I dying?" Tachi asked, almost beginning to panic.
"No, no!" Doctor Honda laughed, shaking his head a few moments before letting out a few more laughs. "No, you're fine for the most part. The head injuries may have caused some brain damage, and your broken bones may even be crooked when they heal. But since you're young, you're much easier to heal, however for your brain we can't do much. But yes, you're going to live. Now answer my questions please, what is your name and what happened to you?" Honda returned to the subject.
"That's good... I think. My name is Tachi and.. I got mad at my father or mother, I can't really remember right now, my head hurts... Well, I ran away and then some man started punching me, kicking me, and beating me with a stick! I don't even know why, I just remember him yelling at me, and then he threw me into something hard." Tachi began to explain, struggling to remember.
"It must have been a tree because you were found in the woods. We did find the stick you were talking about, a tree branch. A bandit named Shiro Kega used that same branch, he hasn't been seen for a while after trying to steal some food repeatedly. He was beaten down and frail the last time we saw him. I suppose he was too weak to put up a fight with anyone else, other than a child. Did you have anything on you that was worth something?" Doctor Honda questioned further.
"Nn... No, not that I remember, I don't think so." Tachi sat up slightly, using the large pillow to help himself get comfortable.
"That idiot nearly killed a child over nothing. This has gone too far, and he will be found, I assure you. You need to remain in bed for a few more weeks, then we have to talk, okay, Tachi?" Doctor Honda stood up.
"Talk about what?" Tachi asked.
"Something important that has to wait. Now, are you hungry? Is there anything you want?" he asked.
"No, I just want something to drink, I'm really thirsty!" Tachi said with his face slightly turning up to show a slight discomfort.
Doctor Honda shook his head with a smile, "What about some vanilla ice cream?" Honda arched his left eyebrow.
"Sure." Tachi gave a parted smile.
Many weeks later, Tachi was able to walk around. During this time, Doctor Honda had an academy teacher visit Tachi frequently to help him make up for the lost time. When Tachi graduated and was close to being released, Doctor Honda approached him.
"So, you're a Genin now and only six years old. How does it feel?" Doctor Honda asked.
"Feels great! I'm just waiting till you can tell me that I can go back home. I can ask my mom what happened and tell her about me being a Ninja now!" Tachi smiled.
Honda sighed under his breath, sitting down on his chair with his hands folded, a slight frown formed on his face. "Tachi, sit down so we can finally have that talk." Honda said in a stern tone.
"Alright. If it's about the troubles I might have cause of my injuries, I already know and I'm not worried." Tachi sat on the bed, facing Doctor Honda.
"No, unfortunately. You may be angry at me, and I hope not; angry at me for taking my time before telling you and hiding this from you for a short while. All I can say is that I had my reasons, you needed to focus on getting better, Tachi." Doctor Honda stared quietly for a few moments.
Tachi looked confused and nodded slowly, "O...kay?"
Doctor Honda took a deep breath, "Your clan was wiped out, murdered, killed, all of them. The only survivors are you, Sasuke Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha. Itachi massacred the clan, but you are to have no contact with either of them." Doctor Honda made sure he kept a calm tone while staring at Tachi, awaiting his reaction.
"Wh... When did this happen, and why would he do that to his own clan? How could everyone just die by one guy?" Tachi's face became slightly red.
Doctor Honda was slightly surprised by Tachi's reaction, stammering on to answer. "We- Yo- It-..." he cleared his throat and continued, "He was very powerful, an expert, the best of the clan. So, there was nothing that could have been done... and the massacre took place just a few days after we found you. We, we don't know why he did it." Honda answered.
"My mother's dead, everybody's dead and just no reason why... that makes a lot of sense." Tachi said sarcastically, his facial expression changing between anger and sadness.
"So he did suffer brain damage. At least it's not too bad, I suppose." Doctor Honda thought to himself while Tachi finally began to cry. Tachi placed his hands over his eyes, rubbing them roughly while breathing hard and coughing a few times. Doctor Honda stood up, placing his arms slightly around Tachi and began patting his back to comfort him, not knowing what else to do.
