《The Last line of Uchiha》Part 5
Advertisement
My parents come home with my sibling today. It's the first time I'll see them in months. The Acadamy had a training course that all the new Chunin had to attend, so Mom and Dad shipped me away for it. They then went on some road trip. I've had to stay with Uncle Naruto for a while. But let me tell you, that was not fun either. Lady Hinata would constantly look over my shoulder whenever I did school work. I know she is only trying to help, but it's so annoying! She has a child as well, a son, Boruto I think. Uncle Naruto is thrilled, he can't wait to do all the Father son things with him. He's been doing a lot for me these past months, trying to get the 'Father thing' right. I don't mind but it does feel weird.
I'm at home at the moment, pacing in front of the door as I wait for my parents to get back. I'm not exactly excited but, it's out of my control now and there is nothing I can do but try and get along with it. I heard the door click and I stopped, facing it as it opened.
"Hey welcome home." I bow watching my Father enter the house.
I stood straight when he walked toward me. He put his hand on my shoulder before turning to the door. I then watched Mother enter with a white blanket in her arms.
'Oh good lord here we go!' I took a shaky breath.
"Ukie," Mother smiled at me.
'Oh God, oh God, oh God! Please not another son, please be a girl!' I was now slightly bouncing on my feet.
Father squeezed my shoulder before walking me forward slightly toward Mother.
"Meet Sarada, your little sister." Mother smiled.

'Few!' I let the breath I was holding go.
"Do you want to hold her?" Father asked.
I looked back at him before forward to the bundle in my Mother's arms.
"Uh." I shook my head lightly, stepping back.
"She won't bite." Mother chuckled.
"I-I don't want to drop her," I try again.
"You won't," Father said encouragingly.
I slowly extended my arms and Mother put the small human in them. I pulled my arms to my chest before moving the blanket ever so slightly to see my sister's face. She had a thin layer of black hair and her big onyx eyes were staring at me. She opened her mouth and made a 'Ma' noise. I brought my finger up and lightly poked her nose. She stared at me before smiling and giggling softly. I stared at the young girl with a smile, though it wasn't a happy smile.
'Look at you,' I sneer in thought but laugh aloud lightly.
She pulled her arms up and grabbed my finger, bringing it to her mouth and sucking it lightly. My eyes widened and I pulled my finger back. She whined and her eyes teared.
'Pathetic!' I smiled. _______________________________________________________________________________
"What's her name?" Minka asked.
"Sarada." I deadpan.
"Is she cute? I bet she looks just like you!" Minka cheered smiling.
I looked at the brunette.
"Yeah, I guess. But she looks more like my dad." I say kicking rocks into the lake.
"You look like your dad! You're his son after all!" Minka laughed.
Minka grabbed my arm, pulling my hand into her own and staring up at me.
"Can I see her!? Please!" She looked up at me.
I stared down at her in slight shock, but closed my eyes and smiled.

"Sure," I say.
"Yes!" She jumped around.
"Hey, what's all the excitement?" Yuto asked jumping down from a tree.
"Ukai's gonna show me his sister!" Minka cheered jumping around.
"You have a sister?" Yuto raised an eyebrow at me.
"Yeah, she's only a couple of days old though," I say.
"Oh, a baby sister!" Yuto clapped my back.
'Yeah, whatever!'
"Come on, I'll show her to you."
Minka squealed excitedly while Yuto just nodded.
So we walked to my house and entered, greeting my parents before I went upstairs to Sarada's room. She was asleep when I saw her, but with a light poke, she was wide awake.
"Hey," I poked her forehead.
She smiled, raising her hands and giggling. I picked her up and she smiled, grabbing my nose before giggling again. I pulled her hand away from my face before heading back downstairs. I could hear Mother and Minka talking before I came into view.
"Oh, sweet cheese and sprinkles she is so precious!" Minka gasped covering her mouth.
I smiled at Minka, looking at my sister as she hid in my neck. She whined quietly turning away from my friends.
"Oh sweety I'm sorry, did I scare her?" Minka frowned.
"No, she's just shy." Mother smiled.
I bounced Sarada a little before she turned to my friends again. She looked at Minka and tilted her head. Minka smiled and waved lightly. Sarada smiled and stretched her arms out to Minka. Minka smiled wider and took the child from me. She looked so happy. Yuto stood behind Minka and stuck his tongue out at Sarada. Sarada copied him, sticking hers out before grabbing his nose.
"Ah, she got me!" Yuto laughed.
Minka laughed too, stroking Sarada's hair and bouncing her lightly. Sarada let go of Yuto and looked up at Minka. She smiled at grabbed a strand of Minka's hair. She played with it before putting it in her mouth.
"Sarada!" Mother laughed.
"It's ok Mrs. Uchiha, I don't mind." Minka smiled, stroking Sarada's cheek.
"See, she is just like you Ukai." Minka smiled at me.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked from Sarada to me. She smiled at me from under her hair and looked up at me through her eyelashes.
'Why is she looking at me like that?'
I turned to Yuto to see him playing hide and seek with Sarada over Minka's shoulder. I turned to my Mother and she had a big smirk on her face as she looked from Minka to me.
"No, she's not!" I exclaim turning away.
I heard Minka and Yuto laugh before Sarada laughed. Father then walked in, sighing and running his hand through his hair.
"Father!" I bowed my head quickly, turning to face him.
"Mr. Uchiha!" Both Yuto and Minka bowed.
"Mr. Samari. Ms. Yokota," Father nodded at both my friends.
"Uhhh, it's getting late. I need to head home." Minka smiled nervously, handing Sarada over to Mother.
"Ah yeah me too," Yuto said before both of them bowed, dashed out the door and down the street.
"Ahhhhh..." I draw watching my friends disappear before turning to my parents.
"Do you need to scare Ukai's friends off Sasuke?" Mother looked at Father.
"Hmm? I didn't mean to." Father said.
"It's ok," I chuckle.

Stolen by the System
Lost. Vulnerable. Alone. What would you sacrifice to get home? Kidnapped on the cusp of graduation, Jake is dumped into a deadly world of levels and magic. His dreams shattered again, he’s left with a choice: fight or die – and Death won’t let him go that easily. A savage wolf, a horrific secret, and an abhorrent quest make day one the second worst day of his life. Whatever bastard is pulling the strings is due one hell of a reckoning. On the plus side, there’s magic, and Jake’s got the stats to master it. Spells not included, but, hey, creating spells and programming are basically the same thing, right? At least Spellcrafting is slightly less suicidal than trying to stop the encroaching dungeon spawn threat. Because why wouldn’t there be an apocalypse in progress. All the more reason to find his way back fast. Unfortunately, the path home leads right into the heart of danger. Fighting monsters, dungeon delving, solving puzzles – whatever it takes, Jake is finding his way home. He’ll need allies. Powerful allies, like a trainee ranger who struggles to find her hairbrush. Pointy ears, executive dysfunction, and a perilously gutsy moral compass – what more could one want in a Companion? Alas, beggars can’t be choosers. He needs every edge he can get. Going home means finishing his quest. That quest. The quest that doesn’t deserve completion. Save your father, save the world. Update Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Temporarily ad hoc.

Welcome to Blackfortress! As one of the biggest industrial cities on planet Azuno, Blackfortress has been playing a key role in the planet’s infrastructure, being the primary exporter of minerals and industrial machinery. Numerous cargo planes and vessels leave the city every day, but when a group of Aftonian satellites mysteriously shut down, the city suddenly goes silent, and the shipments stop coming. When a distress call sent by Riley McConnel a few days later eventually arrives, the Sapphirian Navy and the Aftonian Military Corps put together a joint task force of marines and soldiers, tasked with the objective of reconnoitering Blackfortress and hopefully restoring communications. However, as the soldiers of Operation Black Knight arrive in the city, they quickly discover that the place had turned into a warzone. Separated from the rest of his unit, Lieutenant Patterson and his soldiers venture deep into the city in hopes of finding answers, but when people and objects from the planet’s troubled history reappear, their mission soon turns into a desperate fight for survival, and a race against time.

8 145The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
