13 years later

6 months till academy graduation

The room is full of chatter as the academy students sit around the room, waiting for there two senseis to arrive. A young man with shoulder length black hair, purple face paint on his face, his snaggle tooth visible. this young man is Shichi Inazuka. Shichi is kicked back in his seat reading an advanced fuinjutsu theory book. "hey Shishi, i see your new outfit is finished," with a visible face of annoyance at the use of her childhood nickname for him, Shichi looks up at Ino Yamanaka, his girlfriend of eight years, the smile that stole his heart on her face. "You like it? Mama helped me finish last night," He responds. His outfit in question consists of a black mesh sleeveless shirt, his toned abs visible to all, a pair of black ANBU pants, a pair of open toed combat boots, and a gray trench coat. Shimii (A/N: Shee-Mee), Shichi's canine companion, lets out an annoyed yap, causing Ino to look at the small pup at her feet. "Awe, Shimii I'm sorry! i haven't said hi to you, huh?" She asks kneeling over to give the canine companion love. "Come on Ino, she's a combat hound, she's supposed to be fearsome and scary, not cute and docile," Shichi says with a defeated sigh. Four figures walk up to the two laughing at Shichi's expense. "I see your as whipped as ever, eh bud," Kiba says to his older brother. " Well when an angle comes down just to brighten your day with a smile, well you'd fall too," shichi says looking at Ino, giving her an a loving wink, which causes her to blush deeply. "uhg, is he being sappy already? Shouldn't be surprised," Sasuke Uchiha, One of the only surviving members of the Uchiha massacre, says shaking his head as he looks at his rival and bestfriend. "Yea, i still feel bad about all those fan girls, poor things dropped outta the academy because of the possessive blonde," Naruto says with a chuckling.

This breaks Ino out of her blushing spell to yell, " Hey its not my fault they misunderstood my words." Sakura cocks her eyebrow and asks "How else are you supposed understand and i quote, 'don't look at my man or you may never have kids!' come on ino-pig," Ino flinches slightly. "Um, well, oh i don't know... Shut up Forehead!" she finishes causing them to start their usual bickering, making everyone laugh. The whole time this happens shichi is examining the back of his medallion, trying to figure why it looks off, before a look of recognition crosses his face. he pours a bit of chakra into it causing a small stack of papers to appear 'A storage seal, that's why i recognized it', he thought as he began to read. Three individuals enter the room at this moment in conversation. " Its such an honor to have a clan leader visit us lady Tsumi," Iruka, the shinobi with scars on his face, says as Mizuki, the silver haired shinobi hides a scowl. "Oh you know how i am, the pups forgot their lunch so i decided to come embarrass them with lunch," She says a massive grin on her face. "Come on mom, at this point its become demeaning," Kiba says crossing his arms with a scowl. Akamaru, kiba's canine companion, lets out a frustrated huff, causing everybody to laugh. Shichi shoots to his feet a light stream of tears running down his face, reading a stack of papers. "Mama," he says almost in a whisper, which caught Tumi's attention, causing her to go into mom mode. After almost appearing in front of him she cups his face lifting it to look at her." Shichi what's the ma-" she begins causing her and the others around shichi to gasp as they see his eyes, Sasuke stiffens, eyes widening in shock. One tomoe sits in each of his eyes. Shichi hands her the papers silently. she reads the papers her eyes widening. "Shichi grab your sword you and Sasuke are coming with me, Iruka I'm taking these two to the hokage, any complaints?" Iruka shakes his head. Shichi on instinct snatched up the massive sword, securing it to his back. (A/N: the easiest way to describe the sword is clouds buster sword.) He and Sasuke follow her out, Shichi drying his eyes as he follows his mother. After a long silent walk they enter hokage tower. The group walk through the tower heading for the hokage's office

Tsumi ignores the cries from the secretary as she all but kicks open the office door." Lady hokage we need to talk," Tsumi says loudly. Tsunade looks down at her desk pinching the bridge of her nose, letting out a frustrated sigh."Tsumi can this wait I'm in the middle of a meeting," she says causing Tsumi to look around and see Yugao, Hiruzen, jiraya, and shizune. "Nope, but its good these are the people who should be here, shichi show them," Tsumi says, as Shichi steps forward." What could poss-" Tsunade begins before she sees the tomoe. the room is shocked into silence for a few seconds." That's not all, he got a letter, storage seal on his medallion," She says as she goes to hand it to Tsunade. Shichi snatches the papers out of his mothers hand, surprising her. "No, Sasuke needs to read this first," He says determination in his eyes. Tsumi smirks lightly and says "alright, its your letter." Shichi hands the small stack of papers to Sasuke, confusion and annoyance prominent on his face as he begins to read.

Letter begins

Shichi my son,

Its unfortunate this is how we speak for the first time. I guess since that's the case i should introduce myself, I am Itachi Uchiha, and i am your father. As I'm sure you are aware by this point i have done the unthinkable, I have slaughtered the rest of our family. i will try to save some so that you are not alone but i can promise nothing, though i am sorry. My father , your grandfather, Fugaku Uchiha was becoming borderline militaristic. I determined if he ever became a true threat to the village i would eliminate them. Dear me I've rambled into the dark side of life far to early. One last bit of bad news, Your mother did not survive bringing you into this world but know she loved you deeply from the moment she found out about you. I hope The fourth hokage granted my selfish request to put you with a good family, and i hope you are happy and well. One last thing, your mothers last words to you, "I love you my Shichi, Remember to always listen to the mommy that raises you, Be a good boy, eat your vegetables along with your meat, go to sleep at a reasonable time, and finally, should you decide to follow in our footsteps, balance your shinobi training and rest frequently." Those were the last words your mother said to you, i must bring this unfortunately brief letter, to a close. Know that i love you greatly, as did your mother. We are both so proud of you and I hope to hear wonderful things of the man you become.

Your father,

Itachi Uchiha

P.S.

Ill tell you your mother's name when we finally meet

Letter end

Sasuke's eyes fill with tears as he reads the letter before he wraps Shichi in a tight hug, before he asks "Wait does this mean I'm an uncle," Shichi pulls back from the hug giving him an annoyed look as he says "Don't think because we are family now I'm calling you, uncle Sasuke," causing the room to fill with the sound of chuckling. Sasuke hands the letter to Tsunade passing the letter around. She snaps her fingers summoning ANBU, in the kneeling position. "Summon Mikoto, tell her we found another survivor," she says. "Hey grandpa Jiraya, i have a question about one of the seals i saw in a book," Shichi speaks up. "Hm? What's that kid?" He responds still not over the revelation. " Here look, this seal here, wouldn't it make more sense and be more efficient to do it like this?" He says as he first pulls out the book from earlier followed by seal ink, paper, and a brush. As shichi turns to a specific page, revealing a highly complex seal meant for prisoner restraint. "See how this part here loops almost into a double loop before finishing the seal? well wouldn't it be more efficient to do a fulltop loop then loopback through the loop before finishing the seal?" He asks as Jiraya watches him recreate the seal in the book then make the edited seal he was referring to. Jiraya smiles. "I'm impressed kid, The amount of attention to detail need for a kid your age to catch that is no small feat," He says ruffling Shichi's hair. "You two wait outside while we wait, we'll call you in when we're ready," he says as the two boys nod and leave the room. "What's that look for Jiraya?" Hiruzen asks, puffing on his pipe.

"I played that down, I loaned him that book on purpose, That volume was revised three years ago when a better formula was discovered," Jiraya says stroking his chin. "So it wasn't as big a deal?" Tsumi asks slightly confused. "Actually its a much bigger deal, because the formula he just showed me is even better than one i woulda made. That boy may be a prodigy," He says with certainty. "Don't forget he is also incredibly gifted with the sword, he amazes me every time we spar," Yugao says, a small smile on her face. The doors burst open to reveal Mikoto Uchiha another survivor of the massacre, And Uchiha clan head. " Who and where? Lady Tsunade where did you find one of my family," She says not hiding the joy and sorrow in her voice. "He's my oldest Mikoto, and you should read this," Tsumi says passing the letter to her. Mikoto reads the letter before tears flow down her face. "where," is all she could say . Tsumi calls the boys back into the room, planting them in front of Mikoto. "I always felt like you felt familiar to me, i never understood why i felt at ease around you Shichi," Mikoto says causing both boys to smile. "You look just like your father did when he was your age," Mikoto pulls Shichi into a hug. With a smile Shichi returns the hug and says " Hi grandma, Its good to see you today." the boys are sent back to the academy to finish their school day and inevitably tell all their friends. After a few minutes of finishing the meeting Tsunade notices how quiet jiraya has become, but before she can say anything he speaks. "Yugao would you mind setting up a meeting with Anko?" Yugao narrows her eyes at him suspiciously. "If you don't mind my asking, why?" She asks now on guard once her best friend and fellow 'ice queen' as they had become known, was brought into the conversation. They being her, Hana inazuka, Anko Mitarashi, and Kuranai Yuhi. "I would like to talk to her about that mark, if my suspicion are correct, Shichi might be able to give us some new insight, if not remove it himself," He says catching her attention. "I'll ask her on the condition that if she declines the meeting you don't approach her again about it," Yugao says, her protective instincts noticeable. He simply gives a nod of acceptance.
