SORRY, I rewrote the story again! I know I'm very annoying, but I really wanted this to turn out good! Ever had an idea, that you just got so excited about that you just started writing without taking enough time to think it through? I just felt like I wasn't getting the family dynamic enough. Like Yoshi and Saki's brotherly relationship. The rest of his family and his friends. But I fixed it! I know how I want to write the story now! I'm settled! I promise! I'm settled on the names, the story, and the characters! So, Enjoy!

...

In a small dojo in Japan lived two ninja masters, Hamato Yuuta and his wife, Hamato Atsuko. Their clan was known for being the best protectors in Tokyo. Hamato Yuuta was the best there was, but he could not take care of the clan nor the people forever, that is why he needed an heir to take his place...

"OW!" Atsuko screamed in the dojo as she held her husband's hand. Atsuko was a beautiful woman with black hair and ruby eyes. She wore a red kimono with a flower patter on the side. "Yuuta! It's coming!"

Yuuta was a tall man with long black hair he wore in a high ponytail and brown eyes. He wore a white and black kimono. "Just hang on a little longer, my love. It will be over soon." Yuuta sighed, "Thank you for coming on such short notice, Kuzunoha. I do not know what we would do if you had not."

"You are just lucky I was nearby." The woman looked between Atsuko's legs before looking back at her. "Ok, Atsuko, at the count of three, start pushing." Atsuko exhaled and nodded. "Ok."

"1...2...3, Push!" And Atsuko did with all her might, she squeezed her husband's hand tight, and Yuuta tried his best not to scream as well from her breaking his hand...literally. Atsuko then laid back and took a minute to catch her breath. "Ok, Atsuko, just one more push, you are almost done."

Atsuko nodded and started pushing again, no more than 6 seconds later did she hear a piercing cry. Kuzunoha smiled while holding up the baby as it continued to cry. "It is a boy!" Atsuko felt tears in her eyes. "A boy?" Yuuta was awestruck. "My son..."

Kuzunoha cleaned him up and wrapped him up in a blanket before handing the baby to Atsuko as he continued to cry but he quieted a little in his mother's warmth. Atsuko chuckled as wet tears fell down her cheeks. "Hello there, my precious boy," She cooed, sweetly. "You were very impatient, weren't you? A few weeks early. You were ready to see the world, huh?"

The baby completely stopped crying, hearing the familiar voice of his mother and he slowly opened his eyes, looking deep into his mother's. The baby just continued to stare at her, and she chuckled at him, slightly. Yuuta smiled and leaned down to get a closer look. Atsuko looked at him. "Oh, Yuuta, isn't he gorgeous?"

"He is," Yuuta agreed and grinned when the baby grabbed his finger. "He looks a lot like you, Atsuko." Atsuko laughed a little. "That's probably why he's so beautiful." Yuuta rolled his eyes at his wife's teasing and Atsuko smiled wider at him. "But there is a little of his daddy in him too. I know his chin is not mine or his nose."

Yuuta smiled and looked down at his son. The baby had thick black hair, dimples in his cheeks, and red ruby eyes. The baby seemed to be a curious little thing, eyes wandering all around. Yuuta chuckled and stroked his head. "Welcome to the world, son."

"What do you want to name him, dear?" Atsuko asked Yuuta and he thought for a moment before smiling. "Yoshi. Hamato Yoshi."

"Hamato Yoshi," Atsuko echoed and she looked down at her son, considering the name for a moment before grinning. "Yes, I think that suits him well. He is Yoshi." She leaned her head down and gently rested her head against her son's. "Our little Yoshi."

Yuuta smiled softly at the scene, he had never seen his wife so happy before and he himself has never felt so much happiness as he looked at his son. "Do you want to hold him, papa?" Atsuko asked and Yuuta hesitated before holding out his hands. Atsuko gave him Yoshi and Yuuta was nervous at first but he eventually relaxed.

Yoshi looked at him, eyes studying him before he made a scowl and Yuuta almost rolled his head back in laughter, he recognized that face anywhere. "Oh, I can tell that you are your mother's son. Though, I hope I can give you something that you can carry with you as you grow."

Yuuta just continued to smile at Yoshi but he frowned when he felt his kimono getting wet and he looked down, only to cringed when he realized it was coming from his son. "Sorry, I guess I should have put a diaper on him before I gave him to you." Kuzunoha said though there was amusement on her face.

Yuuta looks back at his son and he swears that he sees a mischievous glint in his eyes. Yuuta frowned at his wife. "Maybe Yoshi is not the best name, it means respect and I can already tell that he is going to take after you!" Atsuko just laughed while Yuuta shook his head. "Dear Gods, please help give me strength..."

...

Next day,

Atsuko was sitting on the couch as their family surrounded her, looking at the newest member. Mashimi, Yuuta's little brother raised a brow at the baby, tilting his head slightly. Mashimi had long black hair he wore in a high ponytail and green eyes. He wore a brown kimono. He scoffed. "You are going to give the clan to him? He looks like a potato."

Atsuko whacked him on the back of his head. "Watch what you say about my son!"

"I have not decided yet, it all depends on if he has what it takes," Yuuta said.

Mashimi rolled his eyes as an old woman stepped forward. Hamato Yumi, Yuuta's mother. She had gray hair she wore in a top bun and green eyes. She wore a black kimono. She leaned down to get a closer look at Yoshi with no expression on her face.

Yuuta looked at her worriedly. "What do you think mother?" Yumi didn't answer, she just continued to stare at Yoshi who was staring back. She suddenly began to shake a rattle in his face and his eyes followed it curiously for a moment before he smiled and tried to hit it. Yumi smiled at the reaction. "I can tell that he is going to grow into a strong man, your father would be proud."

Both parents smiled while Mashimi just huffed. "How does that prove that he is strong?" Atsuko glared at him before smiling down at Yoshi. "Ignore him Yoshi-san, he's just jealous that he can't find a wife who is willing to marry him and bear his children."

Mashimi growled, "Damn you, woman! You are going to-!" Yumi hit her son on the head, stopping his empty threats before Atsuko could. "Mashimi! That is no way to speak to a woman who just gave birth, apologize!"

"Yes, Mashimi, apologize," Atsuko taunted and Mashimi grained his teeth, but he wouldn't dare to disobey his mother. "I'm...sorry."

"For?" Atsuko trailed off and Mashimi glared at her. "For yelling at you and for being mean to your son." Atsuko nodded in approval. "I accept your apology, Mashimi."

Mashimi counted to glare as he went off into the next room while Yuuta sat next to his wife. "Must you always tease him?" Atsuko huffed. "He started it." Yuuta shook his head then smiled down at Yoshi who was babbling on and on. Atsuko chuckled. "He has a lot to say today. I wonder if he's hungry? I fed him earlier, but this boy has a huge appetite, he has a pit for a stomach!"

Yuuta chuckled, "Well, a growing boy must eat."

...

A year later, somewhere else,

Far out on the other side of Tokyo, lived the fearsome Foot Clan. Their clan was known for their ruthless and merciless acts. Destroying small towns, robbing people of their valuables, kidnapping, and killing anyone who dared to cross them. They and the Hamato Clan have been at war with each other for centuries, neither of them willing to give up until the other falls.

Oroko Maji, the previous Headmaster, had almost done it. He had killed Hamato Sho, the previous Headmaster of the Hamato Clan, instantly but he underestimated his son's strength. He thought killing the headmaster would be enough to make the whole clan fall apart but he never suspected his son to pick up the pieces and finish what his father could not.

Now, here, Oroku Keiji stands, willing to avenge his father, even though it was his own ignorance that got him killed. 'Hamato Yuuta, your time is over,' Keiji thought to himself darkly as he stared up at the portrait of his father, standing proud as he wore the crown of the Foot Clan, just as he was. As Keiji was in deep thought, a crow landed on the floor before proofing into dark gray smoke and becoming a woman. She had black hair that she wore in an elegant bun and black eyes. She wore a gray kimono.

"Speak," Keiji ordered. "He has a son," She reported, and Keiji turned to her at this. "I thought he and his wife were unable to have children."

"They were but apparently that old witch helped them somehow," The woman explained with a disgusted look on her face. "I have studied every kind of power I could get my hands on and even I do not know how she did it."

"Will this cause a problem?" Keji asked impatiently. "No. It should not. He is only a year old, judging by how big he is. He should not get in the way of our plans."

"Good," Keiji said as he came forward and put a hand on her big pregnant belly. "I know I am sometimes harsh with you, Miyoko but I am glad you stuck by my side. You were always the only one I could ever truly trust. Unlike my fool of a brother."

"Do not speak of him, my love," Miyoko said gently with a soft smile, putting her hand on top of his. Keiji sighed. "I want to do what no one in my family has ever done, Miyoko. I want to destroy that miserable Hamato Clan and rule over all of Japan. That is the gift I wish to give to my child as well."

"Our son will have all of that, Keiji and so much more. He will be the strongest of them all." Keiji snapped his head up at his wife. "Our son?" Miyoko smiled. "Yes. We are having a son."

"How do you know?" Keiji questioned. "Because I know. Would you like to name him?" Miyoko asked. Keiji thought about it for a while, staring at his wife's belly before coming to a decision. "Oroku Saki."

"Oroku Saki? Hm. Not what I would have chosen but if that is the name you wish, my love." Keiji nodded. "It is."

Miyoko smiled and slowly lifted the Kuro Kabuto off of Keiji's head so she could kiss him, which he gladly returned. Afterwards, Miyoko leaned to his ear. "Promise me you will bring me his head." Keiji wrapped her in his arms. "I promise, my beloved. We shall have our revenge over the Hamato Clan."

...

So, what do you think so far? Better? I think it is. If you don't, too bad it's my story.
