Fugaku sighed in slight regret. His friends Duy and Teuchi tried to pa.s.s the end of the year academy test in order to graduate. Fugaku was willing to wait for them to graduate, but Teuchi failed in the knowledge aspect while Duy didn"t practice his Nnjutsu enough. Fugaku didn"t want to leave the ninja academy by himself so he decided that he would wait another year so that they could improve. Then they could leave together in order to try and be part of the same ninja team.

In order to make Duy and Teuchi feel better, Fugaku decided to pay for their bill at the restaurant run by the Akimichi"s. Although they visited on a somewhat frequent basis, Fugaku still heard people whispering in shock at the apparent clan heir not being as arrogant as other members of the clan.

The first time they had visited, Jiro as well as the Hokage had tagged along. It was a very funny experience as everyone in the restaraunt had not dared to speak after they had entered, reducing the noise level from loud to quiet. The situation turned into an even funnier one as the anbu accompanying the Hokage decided to make the situation even more awkward.

An anbu with the mask of a songbird began to slowly play the piano in a dramatic fashion. A trio of anbu with three different b.u.t.terfly masks began to mess with the shading within the restraunt. Soon the only lit up area was where the Hokage was present while dramatic music was playing in the background. Jiro and Teuchi exchanged looks before twin looks of mischief filled their eyes.

Fugaku saw Jiro fold his hands and place his head forward while a completely serious expression was on his face. Teuchi followed suit and also began to mouth his lips adding more intensity to the fake conversation. Fugaku saw that the Hokage had a look of utter disappointment in his eyes as he allowed the prank to continue. Duy was looking around at both Fugaku and Teuchi slightly confused by their actions.

Fugaku saw all the civilians as well as ninjas try not to show interest, but they were staring at the table where they were sitting. As Fugaku felt gazes burn into his back, he looked back to Jiro to see him mouth: "join the conversation". Fugaku finally acquiesced. While he was grinning on the inside, Fugaku also formed a serious face and joined Teuchi.

Duy finally seemed to understand what was happening and he put his fist down on his empty palm before utterly ruining the prank. In the complete opposite voice of quiet, he shouted.

"I understand now my friends, I too shall become super serious and act like something important is happening."

The silence that followed was deafening. Finally, a civilian couldn"t hide his shame at trying to eavesdrop and he coughed. What followed after was a series of coughs that failed to hide the embarra.s.sment that many civilians were feeling. As the coughs echoed around, Fugaku looked around suddenly realizing that the anbu were gone and the restaurant was back to normal.


Fugaku let a slight grin cross over his face as he remembered the prank that was ruined by Duy. Not graduating was a slight downer however, explaining his decision to his family was easy for the most part. His mother and father were fine with him staying for one more year. While Jiro was still gone on his adventure in the lands of the summons, Fugaku believed that Jiro wouldn"t be against his decision.

It had been three months since he had gone and he missed his tenth birthday with the family. The Hokage revealed that such a situation was new. Jiro had been testing to be eligible for the honor of becoming an eagle clan summoner. The eagles seemed to view Jiro differently from previous summoners so he was given a different test.

Fugaku was fine that Jiro wasn"t dead or anything drastic, but missing the constant presence of his twin made Fugaku all the more lonelier so he usually spent his time with Duy and Teuchi. Occasionally, he would meet the teammates of Jiro who began to spend some time to help in the training of Duy and Teuchi because they needed it. He also met Tsunade"s younger brother Nawaki. Nawaki was currently seven and would be joining the academy as a first year in the following weeks.

Fugaku wasn"t aware of it, but there was a slight backlash to his actions that his parents dealt with. The majority of elders including the younger ones wanted Fugaku to graduate from the academy so that he could join the police in order to receive a comprehensive course to train him in being a much stronger shin.o.bi. Akane and Junichiro quickly ended the idea by forcing the elders to compromise on a decision.

The police force would accept non-Uchiha members or the Uchiha would let members of their clan join teams within Konoha. To the surprise of many, the Uchiha police force, began to accept potential new members and it changed the symbol on the back of the uniform to that of Konoha while the original symbol still remained on the shoulder of the uniforms.

Orochimaru stared at Jiraiya in shock and obvious annoyance. The twitching of his eyebrows and the cramped smile on his face indicated a peeved mood. Jiraiya on the other hand, had waggling eyebrows as well as a big grin on his face.

"Orochimaru, my friend. Your location was sold out by Jiro for the price of my underwear collection."

Orochimaru"s shrieks of anger were easily drowned out by the silence of the bas.e.m.e.nt as he had been studying jutsus in the secluded area in hopes of avoiding Jiraiya and his perverted schemes. Unfortunately, Orochimaru made the grave mistake of trusting that Jiro wouldn"t sell him out. As Orochimaru was being dragged out by Jiraiya for "bonding time", Tsunade arrived.

She was holding onto the prized collection of Jiraiya"s, but there was one in particular that Orochimaru noticed. It was a darker blue color, but the name Tsunade could be clearly legible on the frontJiraiya dropped Orochimaru and tried to escape, but Orochimaru grabbed onto Jiraiya. In a rather ironic twist of events, Jiraiya was now the man trying to escape.

Tsunade took the opportunity that was offered by Orochimaru and crashed her fist into the location of Jiraiya"s baby maker. Jiraiya muttered something unintelligible as he slumped onto the floor while Orochimaru felt a chill go down his spine and travel down to his family heirlooms. He swore he heard a popping noise when Tsunade destroyed Jiraiya"s livelihood.
