Strangers.[Private.]

Arashi continues down the winding path of the forest hid eyes trailing upwards to the dim night sky clouds floating along reflected by the moonlight in his deep piercing blue eyes, his tanned skin shining slightly with the drops of exertion from his spar with the Chuunin ranked Uchiha girl.

He briefly ponders the fight itself, noting he was never even touched once in the encounter boosts his ego slightly, a mere Genin defeating a Chuunin is quite the accomplishment.

Arashi hasn't even been in an actual combat situation yet, merely spars...he hasn't been a Genin for long either just over a month now.

No matter, he's an Uzumaki, an Elite Shinobi from a clan filled with rich history and several powerful bloodline limits that awaken in certain members.

A Fuinjutsu specialist of the Uzumaki is said to be capable of decimating armies with a single specialized seal, one Uzumaki is capable of outlasting a hundred opponents with their monstrous stamina, one Uzumaki is difficult, the fighting an entire family of Uzumaki is said to be suicide.

The Uzumaki clan was feared for generations before Uzushiogakure's destruction before the clan was scattered to the winds...

The clan was reestablished in Konoha after many years and was nearly destroyed again by the Super Volcano..and then were destroyed by a Senju..

Arashi's expression tightens as his blue eyes dance with the fires of his rage, a Senju destroyed the entirety of his clan...a Senju..the supposed Cousins of the Uzumaki...When Madara Uchiha faced Hashirama it was Mito Uzumaki who helped seal the Kyuubi in order to aid her husband, when Konoha a Senju built village was assaulted by the tainted Six Paths it was an Uzumaki who rose to defeat the wrathful God who nearly destroyed the Senju's will of fire.

And it was a Senju that decimated the Uzumaki clan...and now...the last Uzumaki's only real friend...is of the Uchiha clan.

The Hokage is an Uchiha from what he can tell, and now the only sparring partner halfway decent was another Uchiha....perhaps he should extend an invitation to the Uchiha clan head...he will have to revive his clan at one point and he IS clan head...an arranged marriage wouldn't be too bad.

He crosses his arms and closes his eyes as he thinks of his clans future now breaking through the foliage and ducking a small branch as he once again is at a side street of Konoha.

He ponders how he should go about this, he does wish to extend friendship to the Uchiha clan, but the Uzumaki have always been deeply allied with the Senju...of course now he does not believe they deserve his clan of himself and it's support.

The Hokage of the Uchiha clan is the one who allowed him a stipend in order to rebuild his clans home..the Senju have offered no condolences whatsoever for his great loss..probably because the Uzumaki now consist of one Thirteen year old Genin.

He ruthlessly squashes the urge to cry his eyes still closed as he quickens his pace down the street projecting his killing intent to keep prying citizens who need to mind their own business from sticking their nose in his path.

He silently growls to himself before taking in a deep calming breath and letting it out...he will not allow himself to sully his clans good name, the Uzumaki have thrived for far too long for him to allow them to go extinct he will fight to become strong and he will revive his clan..the blood will not be pure but better that then extinction, he will NEVER allow Konoha to forget the will of the Uzumaki clan.

He will never allow himself to forget, the Uzumaki chain breaks at the weakest link...He will not be a weak link..

Pushing open the door to his house he calls out on reflex "I'm home" before stopping his eyes widening....silently he closes the door....and drops to his knee's his palms impacting the floor as he growls to himself in anguish

...A book....He needs a book...That's all he needs.

He won't be this weak...he will ignore the image of his Mother and Grandfather's bloody corpse crushed under branches and soaked in chakra laced water...he WILL NOT BREAK!!!

NEVER! HE WILL NOT ALLOW IT!!

"THIS ARASHI WILL NEVER SUBMIT!!!!" He shouts defiantly to the roof of his home as if challenging the Gods above to bring down some sort of challenge for him to overcome.

Silently he bows his head his fist clenches as his body shakes...he just needs a book...that's all he needs..That's all he needs..

Then the images will go away, the books give him something to concentrate on besides the images...besides the bodies falling around him as he dashes home to safety...

Silently...he allows a tear to come to his eye...but he does not shed it.
