Naruto : An Uchiha's Tale

"You three, come to the front." She pointed at them and signaled with her hand.

The three respectfully got up and crouched in front of her, cats started licking their legs as soon as they did so. Hideki couldn't hold it in anymore, as his child reflexes kicked in and he grabbed a cat. starting to pet it, a pleased expression on his face as the cat purred. The cats all got closer to him, some even leaving Nekobaa's side.

Hideki felt like he was in paradise.

Fugaku actively ignored the cats, and Jin was just thinking about stuff in his little head like always.

Nekobaa looked at the three of them for a while and finally spoke.

"Young one, what's your name." She looked at Hideki, who snapped out of his enjoyment.

"Hideki! Uchiha Hideki!" He replied with respect.

"Good name, you seem to like cats, don't you?"

"Yes! I do!" Hideki was very pure, and all he wanted was for his loved ones to stay safe. He had a love for all living beings.

"I like you, and the cats seem to accept you, which is rare." Cats were solitary creatures, and they only felt attracted to people that they deemed worthy and unthreatening. The fact that some even left her side to go with him was a first to her.

"How about you sign a contract with them?" She was an ambassador of the cat clan and was in the possession of one of their contract scrolls. She signaled, and some cats brought out a big scroll from the back room. As she opened it, a couple of blood red signatures could be seen, with red paw marks at the bottom.

"All you have to do is sign this with your blood and draw a little cat paw. Are you willing?" Nekobaa smiled while looking at the pensive Hideki.

Jin smiled and looked at his cousin. "Hideki, accept. This is a perfect opportunity to gain a summon, if you accept you won't have to worry in the future." Cats were very quick and nimble, aiding in sneaking missions. If he ever reached the point where he had enough chakra, he could summon bigger Bakeneko like Nekomata in the anime, aiding him in his battles.

"Aniki... If you say so, then I will!" He bit his finger as blood oozed out. Gliding his finger across the paper, he signed his name and drew a cute little paw to the best of his ability. When he was done, the contract shined, and he felt a connection being established. All of the cats in the room also felt it as they drew closer to him.

"Well, you aren't the first Uchiha to do this. The last one was none other than your father, Kagami-chan."

Hideki's eyes widened. It was unbelievable how fate functioned.

Nekobaa then quickly went through the explanation on how to perform the summoning technique. Hideki learned it fast and performed it on his first try.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" He shouted, and after a puff of smoke, a black kitten appeared in front of him. It seemed like it was lost, as it looked around in fear.

"Hahahaha, you still have a long way to go in terms of chakra control!" Nekobaa laughed out loud, she had seen this scene before.

Hideki was good with wind, but normal jutsu was still tough for him. He picked up the kitten and hugged it before canceling the summon, letting it return to it's home.

"I have to practice more..."

With that out of the way, Asahi collected the goods and paid Nekobaa before bowing and leaving with the rest. As they left, Nekobaa looked at Jin's back.

"I have a bad feeling about this one... I hope he doesn't turn out like that idiot." Nekobaa had a worried face as Denka played around with his cat powder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Uchiha left the Sky district they had entered earlier, they walked and prepared to return to the village.

Before they could do so, a bunch of crows appeared around them, as they all stood guard.

"What's going on?!" Some Uchiha were scared while others were confused.

"All of you! Activate your eyes! This might be genjutsu!"Asahi kept his cool and issued some commands that they all followed. It seemed like the crows were made out of chakra, as they converged in front of them, forming into the cloaked figure from earlier.

"It's you!" Jin was surprised to see this person again.

"Kukukukuku... I have to be quick, they're waiting for me." The cloaked person sped towards Jin, as Asahi performed some hand-seals at incredible speed.

"Fire style: Great Dragonfire Technique!" He shouted as three dragon-shaped fireballs were sent to the cloaked individual.

As the flames hit, the enemy dematerialized into crows and reappeared behind Jin, knocking him out swiftly before he could react.

Hideki, feeling the pressure, activated his Wind chakra cloak as he appeared behind them and aimed his dagger at the person's neck.

"Good speed!" Asahi was surprised.

It was futile though, as Jin disappeared along with the mysterious individual.

"Kukukukukuku... I will be borrowing him..." A voice could be heard, but they did not know where it came from.

"Shit!" Asahi had a deep frown as he shouted. They had to find Jin.

Hideki and Fugaku had bad expressions too. They were scared to lose their cousin.

"I have to report this to the clan-head and the village..." Asahi swiftly summoned a message bird and wrote down a message indicating what happened before placing it on the bird's heel. The bird swiftly departed after that.

"Jin... We'll find you. Everyone! split up and search the area, they can't have gone far! If you see anything throw a fireball to the sky and we will reunite!"

After some shouts, the Uchiha dispersed and started to look around the whole city for Jin. Hideki and Fugaku were putting in extra effort.

"Aniki.. please be safe..."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ten hours later, in Konoha, Goro was learning the Chidori when a bird interrupted him It seemed tired as it disappeared with a puff of smoke after leaving the message in his hands.

"Is it from Asahi? I hope it's good news." He swiftly opened the scroll, and his face went dark. "Troops!"

A bunch of Uchiha that were wearing masks appeared before him and went down on one knee while bowing their heads. "Clan-head."

These were the clan-head's personal guard. Acting in a simila¡r way to ANBU. Goro's eyes turned into Sharingan as his fury peaked. "Go report this to Hokage-sama! Jin has been captured, and we have to retrieve him as soon as possible!"

"Hai!" They swiftly disappeared as they left for the Hokage's office.

"Jin-chan... Please do not die. I would not be able to face your father in the afterlife..."

------------------------------------------------------------------

In a hidden cave located in the desert surrounding Sora-Ku, Jin was lying down on the floor unconscious.

The room was lit only by a small candle next to Jin. The place was mystical, if someone knowledgeable enough came here, they would notice that the concentration of natural energy was very high here.

In front of him was the cloaked person from earlier, this time they had taken off their hood. Revealing a black mak in the shape of a crow.

Around them, hidden in the darkness, were countless pairs of ominous eyes, some as big as a window while others were as small as a marble.

"Kukukuku... We finally got him, Ojou sama." As the masked person spoke, an ethereal beauty came out of the darkness, she was wearing a white dress that complemented her beautiful, long silver hair. Her eyes were pitch black though.

The power she was emitting was not to be underestimated if Hiruzen was here he probably would be scared.

"Indeed... Well done Karasu." Her voice was so sweet to the ears that even the masked person felt like he was being blessed just by hearing it.

"It was nothing, Ojou-sama."

"The prophecy will be fulfilled. The gods have been angered by the audacity of their current representatives. This kid has been chosen to carry out the god's orders and bring a new rule to the universe." The little girl spoke, as her eyes turned golden all of a sudden. Her figure started to morph, as he turned into a small, three-legged white crow. She flew to Jin's forehead and somehow entered it as if it was water, disappearing inside. Jin's eyes opened, although he was still asleep, and his Sharingan matured into a three comma one before closing again.

"Jin-chan, make her proud... Everyone! guard the premises! We need to let her integrate with him!" Karasu shouted, and the eyes were revealed to pertain to a huge amount of crows, big and small. Some as big as Gamabunta was in the anime.

This place was none other than the legendary Yatagarasu Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the Shinobi world. Standing alongside the likes of Ryuchi cave, Mount Myoboku, and Shikkotsu forest. It was well hidden in the desert and became unfindable due to the sandstorms around it.

Here, the crow clan resided. The only people in the anime to reach this place were none other than Itachi and Shisui. But he had never met this mysterious girl. Who could she be?
