Circles (io)

Primrose Uchiha sat on Pirate Beach looking out towards the sea. They had rebuilt the village of Volcano, they had all become village in again and Prim had found her father. She was still unsure what to think at this point because everything had kind of happened so quickly.
She sat on the beach and leaned back against the black sand as she stretched out. All these years of thinking Zaled was her Uncle only for it to turn out he was her father! It was a shock, but then again Zaled had always treated her better anyways.
She sighed as the waves gently lapped at the black sand in front of her. She had a lot on her mind.

The new pirate beach was nice. Clean, crisp.the fresh dark sand and clear waves of water housing dark earth. Fresh from the volcanic activity surrounding the land and in itself. The village with its extinct volcano. To one like zaled this was relaxation in itself. Comfy and cozy in its fullest. But now it has been a few days. Toursts entering and exiting the village in a timely manner.

But tucked away in a small corner zaled was reading a scroll. Catching some sun rays. The first of his decrees in the land that had recently sprouted up. He left the rest of his work at the office as he studied one of the islands perhaps a solid quarter of an mile away. The old island maps had many ideas, but zaled was one to belive these could be further used for other things. As he walked on the black sand to study the newer island at a better angle. He spotted primrose out the corner of his eye sitting there.

She wasn't as vibrant as normal. Well going to figure. He was her father. And cared,but like wise she was lost now.

"Primu come over here a second and look at that island. What will you like it for?"

Primrose had no idea her dad was on the beach! Then when he spoke up it pulled her out of deep thought. She went over to Zaled and sat beside him. With their busy schedules they haven’t had much time to bond, and Prim herself wasn’t too sure how to exactly bond with him! Guess this will be a learning experience for the two of them. She looked at the island her father pointed out. What would Prim do with an island?
“Put a resort on it? A place where ninja could take a vacation and relax.” Prim answered him. It was true! Even ninja needed a vacation once in a while. Everyday life and training and constantly being prepared for battle can be exhausting! A resort would help bring money to the village and help others relax When did Prim honestly become so business like? She sounded more mature than she had intended to.

Zaled listend and smiled at prims response.

"Excellent idea. It is great spot for some tourists to stay and relax. With the piers being able to ferry across both shinobi, and civilian to the island. All for the sake of relxation. In fact many of these islands that lack much use can be placements for various shopping,and vacationing treats. Each one unique you see."

Zaled replied as he pointed off to the islands far off from the other island. In the distance of that were some bubbling red spark of an volcano many miles off.

"Although the active ones i would say we are best to avoid thoes. The closer to such activity i heard there are fresher minerals for the sake of craftsmen. This can fully enable individuals whom may find this home an easy way to fortune and fame. Many lords will also enjoy such an ordeal to their own family names. But greed is universal you see. Likewise we will need to establish an regional governance that will enable such affairs to be converted. Primu you have been here long enough. Is there a high archy that ruled these lands previously?"


Zaled asked prim as he looked at her and opened his arm for a hug.

"I know you are shaken up a bit primu, but for your sake we will developed this place. And then sit down and talk."

Prim listened as Zaled spoke. So even on the islands with active Volcanoes, people would visit to use the land. Made sense to her!  He liked her idea of a resort for civilians and shinobi alike! Using ferries between the islands was a good idea as Well! Prim did have something she wanted to ask her father. Granted this was probably a good time. As he opened his arms for a hug Prim wrapped he arms around him as she readied herself for the question she was to ask.
"Whose my mother?" Prim asked as she hugged him closely. This was probably a bad time to ask such questions but when you think about it, is there ever a good time?

Zaled enjoyed prims hug and smiled. He held his daughter. Better than the sunlight. Because he held the little one he loved.still the warm hug was not without the hardships.a bitter moment followed in his memory as primrose held him. Her mother was the question of the moment. And zaled held her tighter in response as he gazed at the water for a moment, and held prims head over his hearts so she can hear it.

in due time i guess vara. But she asked didnt she.still curious...i guess i can tell her a bit of her past

Zaled thought as he stroked primroses hair softly and gazed down at the girl.she desired closure. A past to look at snd map her upbringings. Perhaps that is what she needed.

"Vara was a small baker girl. Whimsical and free at heart. She travled alot amid the lands. And settled in the current lands of hoshi when she met me. A temper yes,but despite it she held up with my tinkery in the arts of puppetry,and understood my upbringing as an uchiha. It was blissful. I took several years off from tour as a knight as my reward in service, and had you. You were too tiny barely 1 when a stray assasin attempted on me. Without her teaining she protected me,and you.i disoatched the assasin, but knew i could not leavd my duty yet. And compromise you at the same time. I promised vara on her dying bresth,and kmlsid her to rest in the seas to the south."

Zaleds voice strung together weary sadness as he spoke up.

"The sharks took her beautiful body and became nurtured by her lovely being. It was all i could do holding you in the moon on the beach. Much like this. So i left you with my brother. To be the knight. To watch you from afar. Vara knew that i only can do what i do to protect her and yourself. She was able to listen, and yes held me in darkness, and light."

Zaled spoke up as he held prim softly and rocked slowly.

"You have her eyes and hair you see. It is why you should respect them. And not just run around using your sharingan like a toy primu. Like i always told you."

Prim let her father hold her close, something she didnt normally do. She had issues with being close to people ever since Viper had died and she had distanced herself from everyone, except her boyfriend Zim Nara. He was one of the only people she trusted! He had proven he could be trusted and had never hurt Prim or let her down. Zaled went into the story about Prims mom and why they had given Prim up. Her mother had died and her father went into knighthood, which is why they let Ijin and Yuri have her! Prim couldn’t be mad at him, no, this had to be heartbreaking for Zaled, losing his wife then having to give up his daughter!
“I'm sorry about mom. I bet she was a good person, I bet she was a good mother! I wish I could remember her!” Prim figured she took after her mother. And she could hear the slight break in her father's voice.But one thing didn’t make sense to her…
“How did you know Viper took me in?” Prim asked. He knew before Prim had ever brought it up Previously. In a previous statement Zaled had made, he gave away that he knew Viper took her in. “You kept tabs on me, didn’t you? You knew Viper had taken me in. Did Viper know the truth?” Prim had a few questions, but after finding her father, she needed answers.

Her question led to an easy awnser. Although it was simple for him to explain.

"All i did was on occasion visit. I knew and checked on my brother when and where i could,between deployment. Often times when he had to meet me i had one of my scouts regularly go to our spot. Snd when you were sick or unwell i visited.viper was protective,but that was a blessing and a curse. I then ended up with long deployments,snd yes eventually shinobi hood came, had i had known viper had pressed so far. I wouldve stopped everythig to be the voice of reason.."


Zaleds voice softend as he sighed and kissed the top of primroses head.

"But fate is a crule induvidual. He did not show up one day several years ago and the shinobi system was being implemented in hoshi. How could i reason with a man that could not show himself. It is almost iorny. How can i face myself if i could not be honest with myself."

Zaled looked down into prims eyes and smiled softly.

"Better late then never."

Prim sighed as she sat back on the sand. She drew a deep breath. Now was the time to be honest with her father about her and her team. She looked out at the ocean debating the topic at hand, a very deep one!
“Dad, I have to be honest with you about something, me and my Team are all missing ninja from other villages. I went missing after Viper died and apparently everyone on Fuku followed my lead. I didn’t give a word, I just left and deserted my village! Tori left, Megami stayed in Konoha and so did Akki Senju. Dante and Sephora left and apparently came here! I know it wasn’t the right thing to do, but I just couldn’t go back to Konoha! “ Prim said tears in her eyes. “I should have been honest with you from the beginning, I have no idea how long it will be until Kooha finds out we are all here in Volcano!” Prim added with a sigh as she looked up to her father with tears in her eyes.

Prim decided to shift subjects and it became apparent that she decided to gry to lighten old wounds. He still listened and on learning all of this he simply shrugged.

"The longer you wait. The harder it becomes prim. You are a leader,and like all leaders must face the repercussions of your mistakes. I can ease konoha a bit,but past crimes,and such i cannot and will not. Whatever wrongs your group did must be paid in full. Think about it. Children flee problems,but an adult knows when to run from danger or unsuitable situations."


Zaled said as he looked at the girl.


"They follow you,and will follow you to hell if you are not careful. So i reccomend learning how to have each one own up to their actions. Maybe to each other you guys are fearful of each other,but you will only have respect and order if you respect and have order in yourself."

Zaled spoke softly and pointed to the island.

"You guys are only an island like that one. Amid a huge sea of even continents,and volcanos. I would say if you should learn how to get order in yourselves now. Otherwise if konoha,or wherever else gets angry. What do you belive happens? Own up and grow up."
