Awakining

I awoke to a bright light shining on my face, the sun was shining through a gap in the trees. I got up, stretched and decided to start my day off by exploring the new village I was in. I exited the tree house I was in and looked around. "Wow, what a great place this is!" I said to myself. When I looked around I saw a lot of tree houses that were relatively similar to the one I just exited. They were built in tall trees that shot up to amazing heights and grew to great widths. I was amazed that trees could be so big and still be able to have full houses in them. I then decided to go farther into the village and see what it had in store. I walked for some time before I came across some stores. I noticed that they sold everything from food to weapons to clothing. I knew I didn't have much money so I decided just to look around at what they had. I looked and couldn't really find anything of much interest to me at the moment so I decided that I had searched around for long enough and headed back home.

I was at a stand that sold candy, I had run out of pocky this morning and was suffering from sugar withdrawal. The shop keeper seemed happy about it though as I had just purchased nearly twenty boxes of it to fill up my bag. As I walked away I took Saeko and placed her on top of my head to see the village, she had been lonely in my satchel up to this point and it really was a beautiful place that she seemed to enjoy. I was just about to leave the village when I felt a presence, it seemed quite possible that there was in fact one more Uchiha in this place.

As I was beginning to walk back home when I felt something I haven't felt in awhile, it felt like the chakra of another Uchiha. I turned and walked back towards the market and sure enough, I could feel the chakra getting more and more clear as I walked closer and closer to the market. When I returned to the market I searched for feeling again and noticed it was coming from a direction smelling faintly of pocky.

I would walk around for a bit before leaning against a wall and activating my sharingan, looking around the area to see if perhaps I could pinpoint this Uchiha chakra better this way. I could sense it getting quite close but still couldn't quite find them.

I continued to search for the feeling of the other Uchiha and continued towards the stand that was selling the pocky candy I had smelled. I noticed a man standing against a wall not far from the candy stand and could feel the chakra that I had been looking for in this man. So I approached him cautiously because I did not know what to expect.

A kid walked up to me, as he did I locked in on him and if he wasn't an Uchiha himself then he had been around one quite a bit so I may as well start my recruitment bit. "You and I are of the same blood aren't we kid?" My sharingan was active still and clearly visible so that he would know exactly what blood I was talking about.

I nooded in agreement and said "Yes, it seems that we are." I began to get excited because I had not been around other Uchiha in a long time and was suprised that there was another one in this village. I let my guard down because we were of the same bloodline.

I looked the kid over a moment and then straightened myself out to stand up, I would nod a moment and then speak. "Walk with me, I feel we have business to discuss." I would start walking away now, in the direction down the street slowly as to allow him time to decide to follow if he was unsure at first.

I thought for a second if I should follow this man or not and decided that if I was to actually get training from an Uchiha then I had better follow. I began to follow him down the street, partially jogging to catch up to him.

As he caught up with me I would be chewing on a new stick of pocky and be visibly happy about it. I would turn my head to look at him, "You seem lost here among these people, perhaps though you would like to live among out kind? The Uchiha are gathering as one and we would love to have you in those numbers." My words were genuine as any and all Uchiha were welcomed in our ranks at this point.

This man's question was very understandable to me because I did feel out of place here. So I turned to him and said "If you think I will be useful to the Uchiha, then I would be honored to join your ranks."

I stopped and turned to him, "Good, then make your way to the ruins of Jokigakure at your earliest available time. I'll be leaving then so some other time kid." I'd give him a nod and then walk off through the forest to make my way to the volcano ruins seeing as I was done here.
