The Journey of Yukoto Uchiha

***This is an original story written by Rafaela Medrano Roark. Chapter 4 is co-written by Vincenzo Pinari. The Original Charater, Ryusai, was created by VP*** I knew leaving the Shobuto behind was the right course of action, however I had no earthly idea where I was going to go from here. Even though I was homeless with no direction, I didn’t care- I was free. For several weeks, I would sneak into the Academy at night. There wasn’t much food or space, but it was a roof over my head. I continued to go on missions and continue life “business as usual”. I kept my leaving/banishment to myself, as to not stir up concern amongst my team. My jutsu training also continued. I was even able to develop a few original jutsu of my own thanks to the skills my mother taught me.  One evening, due to a massive storm, the Academy got locked down before I had returned from my mission, leaving me on the streets that night. I had not yet been paid for my latest mission, leaving me penniless; unable to ...

The Original Charater, Ryusai, was created by VP*** Rage pumped through my veins as I stormed into the Clan Meeting Hall. I didn’t care what punishment awaited me- I just wanted justice for my mother. My eyes glowed orange with fury as I scanned the room, eventually locking gazes with my uncle.  “What is the meaning of this!?” He exclaimed. “I have something to say to you all, and for once you are going to shut your mouths and listen,” I snarled.  My glanced over at my father, who had a pleading expression on his face. He knew what I was about to do and always was aware of the price I would pay for my actions.  “All my life you’ve treated me like a disgrace, even though I’ve done everything you ever asked of me. But no matter how perfect I strive to be, it was never enough simply because my blood is tainted with that of my mother’s. I worked so hard to be the perfect...

The Original Charater, Ryusai, was created by VP*** As I stood over my mothers’ bed, I was overwhelmed by emotion. My father could sense my chakra levels rising as my sorrow deepened. He reached out his hand the grab my shoulder, but I quickly smacked it away. I knew it was not his fault, but my rage took over and the only way I could look at my father was with pure disgust. He was taken back. Father had never been on the receiving end of my rage. “Why… why are you giving me that look?” He asked with dumbfound look on his face. “Why did you keep her from me… Why was I never allowed to see her…? You said she would be fine…” I tried to calm myself, but my frustration won that fight. “Nikushimi and the rest of the clan believed it would be best if you weren’t distracted by such things.” He replied, knowing the answer would not satisfy me. “Such things?” my blood b...

***This is an original story written by Rafaela Medrano Roark. Chapter 3 is co-written by Vincenzo Pinari. The Original Charater, Ryusai, was created by VP*** 8 years had passed. My childhood before graduating the academy was just as my father predicted. I was seen as an outcast by the Shobuto clan. My father spent countless hours training me in the ways of our clan. It was not uncommon for me to be training from dawn till dusk.  I was able to master justu such as lightning style thunderbolt and water style water wall, at a very young age. Justu that clan members 3-4 years older than me still struggled to master. But no matter how hard I trained to proved my worth, I was still the Shobuto disgrace. My only source of happiness was my mother.  Whenever I wasn’t training or in class, I spent time with my mother. Our favorite spot was an open field just outside the leaf’s boarders. Every spring, the flowers would bloom and turn the meadow into a rainbow. She would a...

***This is an original story written by Rafaela Medrano Roark. Chapter 3 is co-written by Vincenzo Pinari. The Original Charater, Ryusai, was created by VP*** Responsibility, loyalty, selflessness… These are words infused into the soul of ever Shobuto – my clan. Throughout my childhood there was no time for independence or creativity, only honor. Whatever one’s individual actions brewed, it reflected on the entire clan. They are Masters of Water and lightning style and they take great pride in their heritage and traditions. One of those traditions being that the members of the Shobuto never married outside of the clan. That is why when my father, Isshin Shobuto, the next leader of the clan, fell in love with Hotaru Chinatsu, my mother, things became challenging. My mother, who was the last of her clan, was a master in fire jutsu. Some say she cast a spell on my father with a fire dance she used to do. So many feared the instability of fire, but my mother made it look magical and ...

“So, let me get this straight, “said Suigetsu, “You need me to help you locate the whereabouts of team 7- which consists of 3 of the most powerful shinobi in the hidden leaf- so that you can strategically enter the village under the radar.” I nodded. “Uh-uh. No way! I am NOT getting on Sasuke and Naruto’s bad side! Not to mention Sakura just had a baby and has those psycho motherly instincts now. She will pound me into the ground if she finds out I helped you. No way! I’m out!” He turned to leave the room, but I quickly shut the door, blocking his path. I grinned seductively, “Wait, don’t go. I’m only asking for a little noncommittal. Just meet me in the middle. Our little secret’s safe in here.” I gestured around the room as I walked towards him. As I pinned him against the table, Suigetsu’s face turned red once again. “You’ve got pontential Sui, and I think you have been undervalued long enough! I see your worth. I see your knowledge. And I desperately need your help.” I plea...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** Suigetsu was still flushed and refused to make eye contact with me. We sat across the table from one another, sipping our tea in complete silence. Not gonna lie, after being alone for so long, it was nice to have some company. It had been almost a decade since the last time I was in this cave. I was probably around 13 when Obito brought me here to meet Orochimaru. *Flashback* “Now Yukoto, you need to stay silent once we arrive at the cave,” Obito warned as we ran full speed through the forest. “Orochimaru is not one to be underestimated  and if he senses your power, he may just shift his focus from Sasuke over to you.” I rolled my eyes and sighed. “I still don’t know how you expect this to work when it’s not safe for me to look anyone in the eye.” “You’ll be fine as long as you remain silent and keep your eyes to the ground. Now enough chatter, we are almost there,” ...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** Six years had passed since the great ninja war, and for once there was peace. The development of the allied shinobi forces continued to grow as all the Kage of the land tried to remain united. I was 23 by this point and had spent all of my time training alone in the old Akatsuki base. With my Mangekyo awakened, I knew I needed to learn how to control its power as well as the susenoo’s. I was not a fool; I knew that to take down Sasuke and the hidden leaf I was going to need to be patient. As I left my home behind and made my way towards the hidden leaf, I decided to make a pit stop at an old “friend’s” place to gather some intel on the location of Team 7’s members. I wanted no surprises. The cave entry way was long and dark, and I could tell that I was being watched from the moment I stepped inside. “I swear, with how bad you are at concealing your chakra, it is a miracle you eve...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** I was almost 17 when the 4 th great ninja war began. Madara and Obito had spent so long planning out every little detail. I still can’t believe they failed. As the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke drew to a close, Team 7 was once again reunited. It honestly sickened me a little to see them so cheery as the smell of burnt flesh and blood filled the air. I watched the whole war from a distance. I watched my uncle fall. I watched Madara awaken the power of the sage of 6 paths. I watched Sasuke once again betray the Uchiha name. I wanted to do something- I wanted to help. But my uncle’s words, “you will only get in the way,” echoed through my head. If only I had been stronger. If only I’d been faster. Maybe I could have saved them. The craving for vengeance overwhelmed me. I could have killed him. Sasuke. Right then and there. He was weak, he was injured. But with his te...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** 12 years had passed and Obito, aka Tobi, was often found in the forest training with me. “No no no, you’ll never reach the next level of your sharingan like this!” Obito scolded. My breath was heavy as we had been training all afternoon, “Easy for you to say, I can’t even turn mine off! Hell, I can’t even look at you without you activating YOUR sharingan!” Though being born with your sharingan awakened may sound cool- it comes with its share of downsides. My uncle shook his head; clearly disappointed. “You’re not committed to this; if you continue at this pace, you’ll never be of use to the Akatsuki. Your eyes are very powerful Yuko. The fact that you were born with the sharingan eyes makes you a special case, but if you don’t learn to control it, you’ll end up killing not only your enemies but also your allies.” A bitter, injured Hidan chimed in from a distance, “...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** October 10th - what a night. It was many things, but peaceful is not one of them.  After his loss against Minato, my uncle, Obito, retreated to his old house to hide from the anbu who were hot in pursuit. He must have figured that with the village busy combatting the rampaging 9 tailed beast- only the children would remain hidden and guarding the houses. Obito peered into his old bedroom window, taking note of the changes his younger sister had made. He and Zaria, my mother, were very close once; so, his death kind of pushed her over the edge. From what I have been told, she could often be found at the local bar. That is also where she met my father apparently.  Anyway- as Obito scanned the room, he noticed a pure white bassinet hidden in the corner. “Zaria is a mother?” he thought to himself.  Intrigued, my uncle cracked the window open which let a so...

****This is an original story based in the Naruto Universe written by Rafaela Medrano Roark**** Hello, my name is Yukoto Uchiha. You have probably never heard of me before, but that’s ok, most bastard children get over looked. I am the daughter of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya and the outcast Uchiha, Zaria. You have probably heard of my older cousins, Sasuke and Itachi, as well as my uncle Obito… We are a pretty messed up family to say the least- but you don’t choose your clan, right? Anyways, if you are here, then I’m sure you have heard all of their stories. How the 4th Hokage put the 9 tailed fox into his own son to save the village… How Itachi slaughtered his entire clan and joined the Akatsuki… How Sasuke went rogue to hunt down his brother… But the story I bet you haven’t heard, is the one about the girl born with the sharingan eyes. That’s right! You read that correctly- I was born with my sharingan already awoken. Wasn’t bad enough that I was a bastard, but I was also we...
