A Years Time

[Viola]

Viola immediately became flustered as her attempt to leave a gift upon the boy. She shivered at the fact that he woke so quickly, after being so tired. She felt his skin touch hers and her face immediately perked up. She felt a bit warm herself at this point.

She sunk back into slumber right after he nuzzled into her, nodding off. She was too tired to retort much more at this point.

Two days pass...

[Tsukiaddo]

Two days after losing consciousness, the young Yuki awoke. Keeping his eyes shut, Tsukiaddo tried to remember were he was. The previous fight as well as the circumstances the lead to his unconsciousness came back to him over the next minute. The sounds of two others sleeping within a meter or so of him was all he could hear. ' Well I'm still alive, that's a good thing.' the Yuki mused to himself, 'I guess they really had come just to try and recruit me to some cause.' The only other shinobi the boy had fought had been those hired to kill him, no doubt but the locals who didn't appreciate the boys methods of survival, but these two were different.

Unfortunately, for them that is, they hadn't killed him when they had the chance and had lowered there guard. 'The male will definitely be the harder target, but did that mean he should die first or second?' the boy pondered. Suddenly, like a fifty pound sack of bricks, it hit him. These two had survived being crushed by a glacial fissure, what the hell good would an surprise attack do against them if he didn't know what it would take to kill them. Tsukiaddo sat up, only then realizing he had no idea where he was, the grey abyss seemed to stretch in all directions for an eternity. The boy internally laughed at the irony of a death of starvation or dehydration, that could have been caused if he killed the only people who knew where he was. The Yuki cocked his head resting it on one of his hands and waited for them to awake and explain this purpose that they had for him.

[Hono Uzumaki]

Minaru's thoughts drifted along like an endless river, his patience withered, becoming thin as he awaited the unconscious to wake; albeit, he wasn't to certain how everything would unfold. The days past like sand free falling from an hour glass, the time since he had fought the Hyōton user feeling weeks away now. Obviously, the events were still fresh in his mind and the physical stress was still a new in his body. Flashbacks flooded Minaru during his wait, he could see the boy losing consciousness, the Yuki's body becoming limp and passing out after nearly wiping their existence from this Earth with a single attack. 

"I honestly can't allow harm to fall upon Viola's head. And that goes for anyone who had joined the cause. This goes double when it is of my doing, I simply won't let it happen, even if that means ending the lives of good people before the chance to prove themselves arrived." Minaru contemplated how he would have felt if Viola was caught in the cross fire of the battle; she knew the risk, but that wouldn't change how he felt. His heart fluttered, becoming flustered over the thoughts of his travel companion falling upon injury. If anyone gets close enough, if the threat is truly real, he would have to bare his arms deep within the chests of those stupid enough to cross them. "No on will be spared if she suffers." Minaru's breathing skipped a cycle as he exhaled with a large breathe; his eyes opening to meet with the gaze of the hazey-silver sky. He had a moment of time where his thoughts weren't consumed by obsessive tendencies, his mind clung much like his body to Viola.

The next scenario played our rather quickly, as time seemed to slow in a paranoia-filled event.

Movement echoed throughout the spacious area; Minaru's Eternal Mangkeyo Sharingan lit up. His right eye remained black and docile for the moment before also shifting over. The brilliant petal-like pattern peered at the source of movement to reveal the boy was awake and seated up. Minaru instantly addressed the individual without much forethought. "It's always better to make friends before you count someone as an enemy. Especially when they are your senior." he smiled, running over the boys form with his voodoo eyes. The eerie crimson hues, when set against the harsh black, created an ominous feeling; one generally created of fear. "So, do you know and understand yet why you sill draw breathe? And that is after you attempted to squish me like a common insect." his voice seemed to roll out in a growl as he addressed the boy, holding the sleeping body of his Love with both arms.

Drawing a single finger from the bunch of five, Minaru gently touched the ground next to him. A line of red and silver crawled rapidly across the area, stretching and ignited the fire in front of them both, knowing at least Viola would appreciate it.

[Viola]

Viola was in a deep sleep as this transpired. She had been dreaming peacefully, putting trust in Minaru. She slept quietly, not a snore escaping her mouth. Violas' body laid in Minarus arms, slightly curled up. Her current dream consisted of a world of peace, with her and Minaru overseeing the world. Those with eye prowess(with the exception of Minaru) had gracefully surrendered their eyes for a pair of blind ones. A world of justice, of peace, this pleased Viola quite well.

As Viola continued to dream on, a collection of drool collected against her lips. The slight sound of sloshing water could be heard in her throat, which would make an awkward snoring sound at the end of Minarus sentence regarding Minarus' choice to allow the Yuki to live.

Viola could be awakened by a gentle shaking of her body or by other means that would shake her body. But, for right now, Viola looked like a peaceful sleeping person.

[Tsukiaddo]

"Well to be honest, almost every human I have fought up until now put up less of a fight than a common insect." the Yuki stabbed back unwilling to fully give up is pride despite his lose. "I was not the intruder trespassing on the territory of another, knowing that he would be attacked in the process." The boy now more than before could feel the power that was behind those eyes.

The Yuki stared back fiercely, his icy blue irises penetrating into the inferno within the older boy's stare. Tsukiaddo no longer feared him, if the shinobi had wished him be dead his heart would no longer be beating. "So that plan and purpose you talked about before, what would my role in that be?" the boy asked curious to what would drive the shinobi to find him.

[Hono Uzumaki]

Minaru's vision drew away from the Yuki for a single moment, seeking the source of the odd sloshing sounds. His eyes dropped to Viola, not allowing a smile to stretch across his lips at the moment due to his paranoia within the moment. His soulless black irises held their stare with a stubbornness, "You know, it's not wise to look me in the eye." as he touched Viola's forehead to wake her gracefully.

The smile Minaru let loose was a wise-cracking fuck you, baiting the Yuki to continue, if not challenge him. Minaru wasn't one of supreme intelligence, however, he read people very well. Gifted with ultimate visual prowess, Minaru spent a great deal of time understanding, not the human condition, but interaction as a shadow from afar. The young Uchiha was able to evaluate a person based off their appearance, actions and mannerisms using his Sharingan to analyze minor movements. In doing so, he cross checked each individual movement with their react. Granted, many tests were during a genjustu which can directly create perfect scenario's for maximum results. His ability to judge emotion, behavior, and action was actually quite impressive.

The person before him was cocky, and was always in need to be the dominate. This could easily be used to his advantage.
"She.." he points to her, "She is Kenkō, for her ability to give life." "And you, you are Kaku, for your ability to devastate the lands in mere moments."
He chuckled as he brushed the hair from Viola's eyes, a few stray strands falling free from her bun while they slept.
"And I..." he mumbled, though it was loud enough to understand, "I am Owari. I give this unto myself for my abilities which you will see in time. As for the topic of your purpose is to serve me in order to maintain balance and neutrality. It is our purpose, we are.. Sekai no Kage."

[Tsukiaddo]

"Your purpose is to maintain balance without taking a side?" the Yuki questioned, as this seemed like contradictory objectives. "So your true objective is to obtain enough power that your word is law, and all those who disagree will be removed from this existence? Whatever your true plan is, my role in it aligns with a path will allow me to grow and expand my power, which is all I needed to hear."
By both defeating the boy and sparing his life the shinobi had earned both the boys respect and trust. A sudden realization swept over the boy, he didn't know either of their names. "My name is Tsukiaddo Yuki. Due to unfortunate incident I am one of the few remaining Yuki ice release users. I will be the tool with which you cut down all obstacles that hinder your path." The boy said extending his hand in a gesture of accord.

[Viola]

Viola only caught certain lines of speech as she woke from her slumber, blinking a couple of times. Once she came to she realized her mouth was nearly dripping with drool. She quickly attempted to rectify this issue by bringing her bottom of her tanktop to her mouth. She wiped away any loose drool on her mouth. She knew it was slightly childish to do such while serious conversation was in place, but felt a bit embarassed that this was gonna fall against Minarus bare chest.

In response to the slight tap Minaru gave to her forehead she would soon find him close to her, holding her close to her form. She smiled a bit, her eyes searching further to see the boy sitting as he spoke. Noticing his hand beginning to extend she wondered if touching him would evoke bad memories, considering previous situations. She looked up at Hono for further assistance. She began to look over the boy as she wiped the rest of her drool from her face, dropping the tank back down to its original position. She was unsure what direction the conversation was going, but perhaps things were beginning on the right foot?

Viola gave the boy a winsome smile, a grin reaching ear to ear. She kept her hands to herself though, placing them in her lap. She wanted to show, at least for now, she would not harm him. As long as he would follow the same cause as Minaru and her wished to accomplish, there would be no more fighting between them.

[Hono Uzumaki]

"I like the way your brains works." he grinned, extending his hands to the Yuki.

"We will be leaving soon, I want you too prep yourself, battle may ensue. Just don't have a happy trigger and fire before I pull the trigger." Minaru eyed the boy one last time before looking down to Viola.

"This, my Kenkō, she is Viola Haruno. Please, she deserves respect as all of us should as members within this organization. Despite my slightly elevated status, we are equals, though it seems you all wish to follow my lead regardless. I hope it's a testament to who I am. Anyway, do as you will for the moment."

[Viola]

Viola kept her smile, happy to hear Minaru and the new boy on good terms. However, she still hadn't known the boys name. She shifted her glance closer to him. She gently placed her hand against both of theirs, unsure of what else to do at this point.

After Minaru had finished speaking, she perked up, inquiring, "What is your name boy?" She was curious. Maybe it would be a fancy foreign name she hadn't heard of before. Perhaps even a different language? Maybe in this part of the country clan maggots could be nicer?

She tried her best to get on good terms with this boy. After all, she would be healing his wounds. Nothing but more progress could come as well. Another person meant more could be done to mend the worlds ways. Viola would await the boys answer to hear his name.

[Tsukiaddo]

The boy turned to look at the Kunoichi and replied, "My name is Tsukiaddo Yuki. A fitting name for the child who would decimate almost all of of his clan in a single night. I was once hailed as "the child that would lead the Yuki to be one of the most powerful clans in existance". Unfortunately, I had a psychotic break when I was five and murdered about 90% of them in a moon fueled bloodlust."

"After that I was exiled from my clan and left to die in the snow. By some miracle, or maybe random chance, I was led to the sacred ground of the white wolves, who accepted me as one of their own. From then until now I have hunted with them and protected their sacred ground from those who would defile it." the Yuki finished, a look of chilling seriousness on his face. "So now that you know a little about me, how about you fill me in about yourselves and how this whole "crusade" started."

[Hono Uzumaki]

Minaru cleared is throat, indicating he was interjecting into the brief back to back they had begun; completely intercepting his previous question. "I know all too well what you did in Mizu no Kuni. Which is why I was in search of you Tsuk." a soft chuckle interrupted his speech. He smile and glanced down at Viola briefly before returning his gaze to Tsukiaddo. "Your attack seemed so blind, so; how do I put this... lacking purpose? You claim to have a bloodlust, I haven't witnessed it, but I believe you to a point." Minaru had to give credit when do, and this boys reputation was much more then any would believe, so is his own.

"I think I have the means to help you, and by this I mean train. A solution should be easy to discover. Now then, it would be rude of me to not introduce myself to you after you gave me your life story." Minaru held an abrasive tone speaking with a very commanding manner. The Uchiha's brow narrowed aggressively, "As I said before, I am Owari. These are the names we use in public, among the masses and fretting souls of the damned. However, in Hi no Kuni, within the confines of Konohagakure, I am known as Uchiha; Minaru Uchiha. I fled my village in revolt, wanting better for the helplessly blind populous. In doing so, I took the lives of both my Mother and Father. This was only after fighting my Big Brother. I ripped his eye cleanly from his skull, placing it in my own. I was sidelined a bit by this one though, she did help me out a lot." he ruffled Viola's hair lightly and kissed the top of her head.

"Think back on it now reminds me. We uh, we need to go back." he laughed out loud.

[Viola]

Viola listened to each of their stories. Tuskiaddos' story reminded her of the danger clans posed to humankind. All it took was one person to snap, and everyone suffered the consequences of the power. Such power that lacked the guidance as Minaru stated angered her. But, what was one boy to do with all that power--if he stayed sane and grew up? To kill others outside of his clan and boast on being a leader?

Viola could feel her internal hate grow, but against this grew Minarus promise that he could train him. Train him to become a better human, hopefully. If that she held doubts she would have a moral struggle healing the Yukis' wounds. She felt the pat against her head and looked up on instinct, eyes widening briefly. Back to Konoha already?

Something else Viola had figured out during the events is that Minaru and Tsukiaddo knew little about her past. Something in her felt awkward for going last in telling about herself, so to deter from this she slid her head up, still facing up toward Minaru. She did not want to divulge in the dark details of her past, much less leave herself vulnerable to the newcomer with information. Given their return to Konoha, she figured her story would come out naturally at another point. It felt more or less useless to speak of her past, as it was boring and more of a liability on her part to share.

Viola stayed quiet now, nodding as the Yuki boy spoke of his name asked about their next move. To avoid the needless information she would spat regarding her life, she depended on Minarus leader-esque nature to focus on more important things. Pressing her lips gently against his chin, she mused, "Mmm? Konoha? It's quite early to go back, but I guess it'll be ok."

[Hono Uzumaki]

"It's alright, trust me. We are going somewhere that only few Uchiha have ever seen. It holds key information on the world we know and the world that has been lost in the pass." he subtly nudged Viola's weight off of his body in order to stand up freely. "I believe at this moment, it's wisest to be free of burdens; therefore, all our belongings may remain in wait here."

The Uchiha was planning a bold trip to the Naka Shrines within the heart of Konoha. This Shrine is an Uchiha stepping stone, and is what will set Minaru apart from all other men of his clan. Minaru was determined to keep balance, and he knew all to well that his clan would horde and abuse their ability to grow and prosper. The boy was only a teen, but had enough worldly experience to take matters into his own hands and start creating a more perfect world.

"Now, take my hand." he reached out to the Yuki and took his hand without waiting, there was no time for games or arguing as matters needed to be attended too. He stood, holding Viola within the crook of his arm and hoisting her up. He smiled before his Mangekyo activated and the silver void began to swirl, taking them from here.
