"-Uchiha do not show emotions, nor do we lose our temper so fast. As the heir to the Uchiha Clan, you are expected to behave a certain way. Only true Uchiha can keep their emotions in control. Had Sasuke married a different woman from inside the clan, he wouldn't be raising a disgrace and instead be raising a true Uchiha worthy of being in the Main House. You have shamed our clan..."
Ojiisama's voice is annoying. It's the same "You're not a true Uchiha" speech I get every second day. I ignored it after the first few times, but each time he notices. He always curses out my mother, talks down to my father, praises my uncle. To him, Papa is a second rate shinobi and Uncle Itachi is always number one. Papa, Mama, Uncle Naruto and Kashi-jiichan and Obito-jiichan were the ones who took down that Kaguya lady, not Uncle Itachi. Just because of their positions. Just because Papa wasn't meant to be heir, just because Mama came from a civilian family. No, no way they could ever be as powerful as Uncle Itachi.
"Sarada! Pay attention to me when I am listening! I am your grandfather!"
A sharp slap brings my attention towards him, my peripheral vision showing me his perfectly concealed anger. I know my ojiisama. He's angry, he's disappointed. He glares at me viciously; I'm waiting for the insult to my mother. His face turns red, spittle flying from his mouth and landing on my face.
"What is that damn woman teaching you? Sasuke shouldn't have married someone from a civilian family. They lack restraint and don't know how to raise their brats properly," ojiisama roars, spitting out the word civilian like it is venom. There's the insult. It's always something about Mama not raising me right.
I can't deal with this. I've had it. I'm done.
I punch the wall which leads to a large hole resting in it. "Don't you ever talk about my Mama like that, or I'll kill you myself, Shannaro! I am not just my Papa's daughter, but I am also Uncle Itachi's niece. Do not trifle with me."
I storm out of ojiisama's house seething with anger. I hate him, I hate my clan, I hate their stupid values. So what my Mama isn't from a ninja clan, they love each other! I hate the Elders the most. I hate them all.
"Look, there she is! You would be able to see that forehead all the way from Iwa."
I hate them.
"What Uchiha wears glasses?"
I was sick and it affected my vision.
"Her father shouldn't have married that civilian woman."
He loves her! It doesn't concern you!
"She's a disgrace. What Uchiha loses their temper so quickly?"
I'm human.
"As the heir, you would think she was more refined. Especially as a kunoichi."
Screw you and your ideals. I don't care. I don't...
Why? Is it so wrong to be open about your feelings? What's wrong with my forehead? What's wrong with my glasses? What's wrong with me? Why can't I be a normal Uchiha?
No, the Uchiha are darkness. Mama is like the light in Papa's life. Aunt Izumi is the light in Uncle Itachi's life. Uncle Shisui is the light of everybody's lives. Chou Chou and Boruto are the lights in mine.
"Pink hair! How did someone with that ugly hair colour marry Uchiha-sama?"
"She probably weaselled her way into his bed. They were teammates at one point. You know what happens sometimes on missions."
"She's so temperamental, who would want to marry her?"
I stomp my way over to the two old ladies bitching about my mother, leaving deeper and deeper craters as I walk. "Next time," I say right in their faces, my fully matured Sharingan blazing, "I wouldn't talk about a woman whose fists shatter the ground like it's glass in front of her daughter, hm?" My foot meets the ground, creating fissure connecting all my craters together. "Don't talk about my mother like that, or I will kill you myself."
They can talk about me all they want, but they can eat my fist if they dare say anything about my mother.
I hate them all so much. I hate this clan. No I don't. I only hate their behaviour as a whole.
I can't help but love the clan. I wish I didn't, they've only caused my mother pain. She's made history, being the first Uchiha matriarch from outside the clan, let alone a civilian family.
Needless to say, the clan weren't happy. Mainly the Elders. I know a lot of the clan wouldn't have cared, had it not been for them. Who do they think they are, spreading their, 'Sakura Haruno will taint the Main House Uchiha bloodline with her civilianblood' bullshit. If not for them, the scorn wouldn't be nearly as bad.
Mama told me that when Uncle Naruto was young, life was like this for him. I remember asking her why? Why would they always talk about Uncle? Isn't he the coolest, sweetest, best Uncle and Seal Master around?
Then she told me about how Uncle's jinchuriki status was leaked, and because he was Minato-jiichan's son, they faked their kindness, then talked about him once he was "out of earshot".
Mama said that she would have beat the villagers within an inch of their lives had she been allowed to. Uncle Naruto has people to fall back on, people he trusted and loved.
His precious people.
I want to be like Uncle Naruto, someone who draws strength from their loved ones. Their precious people.
I also want to be like Mama. Someone who is confident, who doesn't allow others to make fun of them. Mama is scary, but she is nice. You could never doubt how much she loves you, because she shows it.
Yet my Papa, the man with the emotional capacity of a rock, learned to love and treasure people from outside the clan. He learned to not compare himself to Uncle Itachi. He learned so many things because of Mama, Uncle Naruto and Kakashi-jiichan. They saved my Papa from the darkness of the Uchiha Clan.
Who will do that for me? Chou Chou and Boruto are my best friends, the people I trust the most. Boruto is the sun, a bright day of happiness with the ability to make you want to like him. Chou Chou is the opposite of the Uchiha, as just about everything I look for in a best friend.
I love my best friends, and I hope they love me.
After all, nobody loves like an Uchiha does.
