Homecoming.[P]

Ashie would ignore her family reaching the land above, hearing her uncle talk about winning the Chuunin Exam would make her cringe. Suddenly a new feeling bubbles within her. Not one of excitement or contempt, but one of absolute anger. Clenching both of her fists she would find the nearest object with would be a tree and with all of her strength would connect a punch into the base of the tree. Feeling the steam come off of her in roves she pulls her now possibly broken hand to her chest to hide it from her family.

Keeping her trap shut she would just keep her back always to her brother and uncle. "I'm not very hungry anyways, think I'll just rest for the day..." She mumbles above a whisper for them to hear.

Echo's gaze shifts between the two children and he sighs his right palm coming to rest against his forehead "You kids are gonna give me wrinkles you know that?" He states out loud "Ashie." He states pausing in his steps "Come over here a moment." He asks Chamo cloaking once again before crawling into the pocket of the Jinchuuriki's jeans.

Samuru whilst he walks looks over his shoulder upon hearing his uncle call for Ashie, he shrugs since all danger seems to be over. His right hand now moves to his left arm, scratching at it with much agitation, he despises this part of his regeneration, new skin is always itchy. "I'll just see you all at home" The boy says, walking off in an off way, his arms reaching behind his back to scratch it, the boy stopping once he hits the forest area to rub his back against a tree to ease the itching, satisfied noises are made due to this. Once this is done he keeps up his travel, headed towards his home along if his uncle and sister choose to remain in the area, Samuru trusting his uncle more than anyone else, and seeing him more like a father than an uncle in a way, due to the absence of his own.

Ashie would hear her uncle's wary voice and turn glancing at him nervously. Blushing before taking a loud gulp would clutch her shirt in her hands ducking her head down and would walk forward until she is in front of him. This is what she would do to her mother when she used that voice with her, it was a sign of fear. Her mother was not afraid to spank them, hyuuga style spanking was no joke.

Ashie would now glance up at him from beneath her bangs, she would notice his little creature would be missing, Ashie lost in her thoughts would search his shoulder's for the little creature called Chamo. "Y-Yessir...?" She would ask softly, just above a whisper.

The Jinchuuriki watches his Nephew walk off and nods in answer as his Niece approaches, closing his eyes and humming in thought he begins to form words in his head. "Lemme tell you a story alright?" He begins glancing down at her "This is a story of one out of Three Brothers born of the Uchiha clan." He begins raising his left index finger wind chakra swirling around his hands as he raises them both and with quick fluid motions he 'carves' caricatures into the air...Three Brothers, One large, One medium, and the smallest.

"The three Brothers were born of the most powerful Kunoichi the clan had to offer, and the clan head...One Brother was as strong as the Hachibi and as kind as can be....The other had the chakra power and control to cast fireballs at age three...breaking the record for youngest to ever be able to." He states with a small roll of his eyes as an image of a boy lifting a fridge and another lighting a tree on fire flashes in time with the wind.

"The third.." Echo pauses at this a deadpan expression forming on his face "Was said to be as frail as a twig..and had no natural talent for the Shinobi arts whatsoever..." He states with a roll of his eyes the image of the smallest knocked out with cartoony swirls in his eyes while the middle Brother stands atop him with a smirk on his face people cheering in the background. "The Smallest was weak, not very fast...and couldn't cast the clans Fire-ball technique to save his life..." At this point Echo mutters angrily annoyed at this small short-coming "Still can't..." He perks up slightly shaking his head "But, he never once gave up...well.....much anyway..He learned to make traps with great efficiency, and started learning...admittedly underhanded tricks in order to take out those that were much more skilled and powerful then himself.." He says a smirk on his face as the wind forms into an image of the smallest running away from a faceless Ninja who is falling into a pit trap with a wide comical expression on his face. "He never earned the praise his Brothers did, nor did he ever surpass them with these skills...but he managed to keep up with them....keep in the same roster....It was only years later he found the power he wanted and managed to surpass both his Brothers in certain areas.." Echo smirks at this "Some even call that runt the strongest Shinobi in all the lands.." He states an image of a silhouette flying through the air forming before Echo disperses the image and stands straight again sliding his hands in his pockets "Point is...don't get too into it....eventually you'll get to deck your Brother...just like the runt ended up doing.." Echo grins in a feral manner at this point "And I gotta tell ya...You'll cherish that moment forever!" He states chuckling and starting to walk towards the Uchiha district now that his story is finished and hopefully the message is received.

The boy at this time is long ahead of his family, running towards home without a care in the world for the most part, jumping from tree to tree he heads home arriving long before his family unless they increase their speed drastically. Samuru however since they are not around decides to go off on his own, not yet going home but walking around the Uchiha district for a bit, maybe bust a few windows for old time sake to remind them he is still here.

Ashie would here her uncle's first couple of words and wince, then she would realize he wasn't going to strike her. Feeling relief and awe she would look up hearing him begin his story. Some history on her clan at last! Her father had kept the family history locked up and out of Ashie's reach. She listens to every detail pausing when he describes the three brothers. The first one reminded Ashie of what she read about one of her uncles. Uncle Koroshi she thinks she could've sworn Samuru or her Father had mentioned that name. The middle brother, Her father pops into mind, he can be scarey at times. The last one...didn't sound familiar at all.

Further hearing her uncle mutter about still not being able to cast fireball properly her eyes would widen. Uncle Echo was the youngest? She would shake her head in disbelief, no way, he was far too intimidating and strong. The figures he carves into the air would play out the story in front of her, as if showing her a movie. Hearing him speak about the youngest being able to learn about traps and deceiving, and then eventually surpassing the elder brother's, made her smile.

She felt as if there were finally hope in this small story of her family. Seeing her Uncle's smirk made her giggle. She thought all of her uncle's were very strong, hearing his piece of advice made her feel like she can confide in him and trust him as she would her father. As he walks back towards the village she would slowly follow, as she takes a moment to think. Think of something that separates her from her siblings. If she can find that and work hard she may be able to surpass her brother, and someday rival her Uncle's strength.

Hopefully upon returning home Ashie would probably join her brother or finally go out to train for the remainder of the day.

The Jinchuuriki casually follows along slowing his pace slightly and glancing upwards towards the sky a few birds passing by.
He closes his eyes as the wind swirls around his frame, he yawns for a moment before following his niece into the Uchiha district.
