(Yamanaka's clansman POV)

Three months have passed since Voidne was hospitalized. Shikaku got very angry the moment he heard the news, it was the first time I saw him like that. It went to the point of almost destroying this friendship with Inoichi, but thankfully Choza stopped them from fighting. Voidne is still hospitalized, and we have no information about him. It was classified as a top secret. The wrath of the clansmen fell on the Uchiha who acted as if they didn't know the reason why they were treated badly by us. Despite Inoichi warning us and trying to stop us from treating the Uchiha badly, we kept on doing just that.

Inoichi, who we saw as a leader figure, kept discouraging us from taking action against those who hurt our young genius... Suddenly, his popularity in the clan plummeted and is now facing the danger of being removed from his position of being the clan's head.

The Nara felt for us, and helped us making the Uchiha's life miserable. Meanwhile, the Akimichi started raising the prices of the food for the Uchiha.

We continued this way for nine months. Voidne wasn't getting better... His body was deteriorating. He kept growing, but he never moved for a whole year. We hired a doctor to try and give him a muscle massage so his muscles don't weaken. The room, in which Voidne was hospitalized, was cold. We went in there with the doctor wearing thick clothes that ninja usually wear when going to the Land of Snow. The Doctor approached Voidne, and as he put his hands inside the black fog, it withered instantly... His whole body froze in just a moment, and he couldn't even make a sound before dying.

The seen of the doctor dying planted fears in our hearts.... This fog around Voidne, just what Jutsu could produce such a thing?

.......................

Time passed by without us being able to do anything to help Voidne. He is still asleep there, at the same bed. A lot of things changed in the past four years. Inoichi and his family are now being despised by the clan, especially his wife; as she was the one to torture Voidne and hide his talent from the clan.

The big decrease in the popularity had took a toll on Inoichi. The once very popular head of our clan is now nothing but a drunkard who is devoid of any spirit. We wanted to appoint a new clan head, but the clan was separated into 3 factions. The first faction supported Inoichi to keep his position as the clan head. The second faction wanted to appoint Santa Yamanaka, a very promising special jonin who is also very proficient in the Yamanaka's Jutsu. The third faction is supporting Fū Yamanaka to become the new clan leader; the promising youth is getting too much support, even from outside the clan.

The argument of the first faction was that the main family of the Yamanaka clan has always served the Yamanaka's interest. Their names always starts with 'Ino' to gratify the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance. The second faction argued that after Inoichi who became unsuitable to be the clan head, Santa is the most prestigious, and the member with the most qualifications to be the clan head. The third faction supporters point of view is that the young are more promising. We already lost one, shouldn't we learn from our loss and nurture another?

"What about me? I am very passive, I don't care whatever happens as long as Voidne heals and wakes up." I said as I was sitting on a chair looking over Voidne's unconscious body, telling him what happened. I kept on coming here whenever I had time. My vision is becoming blurry again... as my tears starts to flow out of my eyes.

The voice of shattered glass awakes me from my sadness. A masked man swings his kunai to slash my neck. I grabbed his hands and used all my strength to stop it from slashing my neck. He grabbed his slashing hand, with his other hand, applying much more force. I was pushed backward until my back was against the wall. I looked at the assassin's eyes just to see... Sharingan!

But as I was about to fall into his genjutsu, I saw something moving in the background... It can't be... Voidne woke up!? Fuck! I need to protect him! I am filled with resolve, I will protect Voidne no matter what! I failed 5 years ago, and now is my chance! But before I could do anything, I started hearing the screams of the Uchiha that is in front of me. The hand I was grabbing became liquid like, his eyes are tearing blood, his screams are very loud that it could be heard all around the village. I see a smelly yellowish liquid coming out of his pants, dripping into the ground. It didn't take much time for his stream to be quelled down. His whole body was turned into a goo, smelly and disgusting. On the background I saw Voidne staring at me with his blood red eyes. I smiled, it was finally time for our Yamanaka clan to recover!
