"Where are Urataros and Onii-chan?"
"I do not know, young mistress," Yu replied. "However, I do know that Urataros possessed young master and teleported into [Kamui]. What they are doing or where they are in [Kamui], I myself, unfortunately, have no knowledge of."
"Thank you, Yu-san," Vyra said, still smiling and Yu nodded in return, opening her book and once again diving into the world of knowledge. Though smiling, inwardly, Vyra was sighing. 'He leaves for five years, comes back for 3, 4 hours, then just leaves again.' Then the sighing turned to light laughter. 'What a terrible brother you are.'
"How long have they been gone?" Vyra asked.
"A few minutes after you had left for your sleep, young mistress," Yu answered without looking away from her book. "Ah! Young mistress, I have a request."
Vyra looked towards Yu, who was now staring back towards her.
"Hmm?"
Yu acknowledged that as a 'yes', at least to listening to her request. "May I have a pair of glasses and books about chakra usage and control?"
"Can't you buy that in AM's shop?"
"About that..." Yu began as she lowered her gaze. "I have almost reached the monthly limit of spending..."
Vyra sighed and sat down on a couch.
"You can ask Shisui-san to get you what you need."
Yu nodded gratefully.
'I wonder when Yasuo-sama will come back...' Yu thought, internally salivating from the thought of her young master cooking food.
Though she had no need for food or any type of nourishment as being an [Elemental] allows her to feed off of nature, that, by no means, does it imply that she doesn't enjoy a good meal; in actuality, she was looking forward to having a nice early-morning breakfast, though unfortunately, her young master was currently not here to cook it.
Anyhow, they could both now hear light stomps that were becoming louder and louder near the staircase leading up and downstairs, which the cause of the noise soon revealed itself to be Shisui... speak of the devil.
What Yu had wanted to ask of Shisui was soon dealt with, the latter merely nodding to her question before sitting on a chair, waiting for his young master to come back from wherever he was. Yu Miaoyi had even more respect for the man now. He was straight-forward, yet smart and had a very respectable personality.
As they were waiting for the others to wake up and the possessed boy to come back by chatting about among themselves, suddenly, a portal had opened, forming the figure and face of a handsome boy with a streak of blue hair... coincidently landing right on top of Vyra...
A tick mark could now be seen on Vyra's forehead while an unhealthy red was splashed onto her unnaturally beautiful face. Normally, she would have been overjoyed at the prospect of her brother 'accidentally' bumping into her, it was her beloved brother after all, but currently, she was most definitely not. Not only was her 'brother' covered in sweat and grime from whatever the hell he was doing, but this was wasn't her brother at all! Urataros was also not wearing his usual glasses for some reason.
Fierce aquamarine eyes met feeble and dishonest blue, and blue immediately turned vermillion red. An indignant scream soon thundered in the mansion as the sound of a harsh slap was mixed within. Awoken and/or startled by the noise below, everyone else soon came rushing downstairs... to see this rather extraordinary scene.
Izuna and Miyrae were rather amused, they weren't what you would call 'normal' parents, while Yu and Shisui were indifferent, both looking stoic; the former reading her book without a care in the world, and for the latter, he thought the situation was his young master's personal matters, thus he knew that he shouldn't and wouldn't interfere, which was exactly what he was going to do.
As for Kyoko, she didn't know what to think of it. From everything that she had been told about her prodigious brother, she figured he was going to be an aloof character, 'edgy' as people called it. However, completely shattering her expectations, was a person who was seemingly ignorantly idiotic and somewhat happy-go-lucky, having no care in the world about his safety nor does he seem to have a purpose in life.
She couldn't understand, how was this person a supposed genius? Better yet, how was this person going to manage Elysian when Shisui could not? All she could see in him was that he was an idiotic mess not worth investment or time, and now she was most likely going to add 'pervert' to the list of things more negative than positive... other than his cooking, his cooking is simply godly.
And finally, as for the perpetrator himself...
"Huh?"
___
"Yasuo-chan," Miyrae began, making everyone - except for Izuna, he was joyously stuffing himself full with food, plus he already knew what Miyrae was going to say - look towards her with inquisitive gazes. "We're going to visit the Uchiha compound later today."
To this, everyone went back to engulfing their food, but Yasuo was still confused. "Why?" The boy asked with a tilt of his head. Other than Yu and Kyoko, everyone knew what he was going there to do, after all, they had all done it in the past.
"I am going to bring you to the Uchiha compound to visit your Uncle Madara." Yasuo nodded. "Then your uncle is going to bring you to the Naka Shrine to see the Stone Tablet." Miyrae sighed. "We've been meaning to bring you there since you were three, having awakened your Sharingan, but we never had the chance to do so. Then you went into your five-year coma, and we had to set it back even further."
Yasuo nodded once again. "Sure mom," Yasuo said calmly with his childish voice while Miyrae was beaming with happiness at Yasuo calling her 'mom', now stuffing herself with even more food. Though he was unperturbed on the outside, he was in a panic on the inside.
'They knew I had unlocked the Sharingan when I was at least three? Well, I can't change the past now... Maybe I can change the contents of the tablet to benefit myself... How, is the question... Perhaps with [Fable]?'
His way of thinking was to change something that was somewhat detrimental to himself, people finding out he had awakened the Sharingan, into something that would help him in the long run via changing the Stone Tablet...
"Onii-chan! I want more sausage!"
"Sure Vyra-chan," Yasuo replied as he went towards the kitchen and took out some utensils. It was funny, how they wanted food from a ten-year-old child while there were four adults in the room and at least one that could cook well. "Hotdog, currywurst or saveloy?"
___
"Yasuo-chan, are you ready?" Miyrae asked.
"Yes mom, I am clothed," Yasuo answered, his voice with a hint of sarcasm that Miyrae didn't seem to catch.
"Great!" She grinned as she held Yasuo's hand and lead them towards the streets.
Both of them were wearing simple, unadorned clothes that everyone else that was traveling along the village roads were wearing, without the Uchiha Clan symbol decorated onto the outfit, but that had not stopped them from still sticking out from the rest of the 'ordinary' bunch.
Here, were two abnormally attractive individuals, one male, walking the streets, minding their own business, but that did not stop stares from moving their way. It was the 'abnormally attractive' part that had done so, not to mention the equally, perhaps even more, beautiful woman walking right behind them.
This woman was, of course, Yu. While everyone else had decided to stay home for whatever reasons, Yu had chosen to come with her young master, the reason being that she simply had nothing else better to do. Her custom-made glasses were not coming until at least a day or two, and the books she wanted too were not coming until later. She had used most of her available Points, so she couldn't buy something from AM's shop to keep her distracted, and she also wanted to protect her young master, thus leading to the conclusion of her following Yasuo-sama and Miyrae-sama to the Uchiha compound.
Due to the group having this seemingly unnatural, yet innate charm, they were bound to have all types of stares led their way: envy, lust, greed, however, the group paid no mind to these observers, merely looking ahead and walking at a steady pace towards their destination.
While they were walking, however, Yasuo was thinking of ways to alter the Stone Tablet. From somewhat off-hand conversations he and Shisui had in the past, he knew the contents of the Stone Tablet, some things about the [Mangekyō Sharingan], some things about the [Curse of Hatred], and some forged bullsh*t about the [Infinite Tsukuyomi]. How Shisui knew about the [Infinite Tsukuyomi]? Simple, the [Dimensional] allowing him to view the past and future.
But anyhow, again, Yasuo was trying to think of ways to change the Stone Tablet, and hopefully getting some benefits along the way. His current plan was to create a distraction then use [Fable] and [Mystery] to hide and then change the tablet, but that plan had plenty of flaws and outside factors that could change the outcome.
Yasuo also had another plan in mind, though it was more of an 'addon' to the current one. This plan had Yasuo create a clone right after the 'distraction' step, and daub some [Mystery] onto the clone so that it doesn't get found out that it is a 'clone', then perform the current plan.
However, like the other, too had many flaws, like if by chance someone touches the clone, they would go right past it as it was intangible. The [Clone Jutsu] could even be classified as a [Genjutsu] by some and Yasuo didn't have [Shadow Clones] to his disposal as of yet...
'I don't have the [Shadow Clone Jutsu]?' Yasuo mentally facepalmed. 'I've never seen Shisui perform the [Shadow Clone Jutsu]... Umu. I'll ask Shisui about that after I visit the Naka Shrine.' Yasuo thought, determined to later learn the [Shadow Clone Jutsu].
While Yasuo was in deep thought, he suddenly felt something tapping him on the shoulder. Looking behind, he had found it was Yu, who stoically said, "Young master, we are here" before pointing towards the Uchiha compound.
He looked towards where Yu had pointed - right in front of him - and what greeted him was a traditional-looking Japanese mansion of his old world. There was a gate that led into the compound and connected to the gate, were stone walls that surrounded the house with the Uchiha Clan's symbol embedded onto them.
The Uchiha Clan symbol was one of the many reasons why Miyrae and Izuna chose not to live in the Uchiha compound. The Uchihas were simply too proud, always donning the symbol of the clan on everything to show off their supremacy to the village. Yasuo's parents didn't want to associate with that; though some would call it cowardice.
Izuna wanted to have harmony in the village, equality, while Miyrae wanted the clan to become 'better', her issue being that there were very few citizens that honestly 'liked' the Uchiha due to their normally haughty nature.
In all honesty, Miyrae thought that the Hyūga Clan were 'superior' to the Uchiha in more ways than one. They were polite and honorable, and due to this, they have more power over the citizens of Konohagakure than the Uchiha, the populace finding themselves liking the well-mannered ones more than the arrogant ones; what a surprise.
Though Miyrae strongly disagrees with the cursed seal that the Hyūga put on their branch members, she would say that the Hyūga Clan was better than the Uchiha, not that she actually would ever say it, she was part of the Uchiha Clan after all...
"Let's go!" Miyrae smiled as she led the group inside of the gate, inside of the mansion, and into the main hall of the compound. Already inside in the main hall, seemingly just relaxing and casually sipping on tea on a relatively small, low round table, were the heir of the clan Fugaku Uchiha and his fiancée Mikoto Uchiha, now staring at Yasuo and his group with shock, while Madara too was doing the same, but instead was wearing a calm smile.
Judging from Madara's expression, Yasuo figured that he already knew they were coming, thinking, 'Maybe mother told Uncle Madara we were coming, but uncle told no one else.' Yasuo internally nodded, it made sense. He had been shifting his eyes all around during their arrival to the main hall, and there were no Uchiha elders present - well, at least he had found none - while Fugaku and Mikoto looked surprised seeing that we were here. 'Why would Uncle Madara do that though? I see no reason why not to announce it to the elders... We didn't see any clan members strolling around the mansion or any patrollers either...'
While Yasuo was thinking away, a single sentence and movement had knocked him into a frozen sweat: "Fugaku/Mikoto Uchiha greets Uchiha Prince, Yasuo-sama." Both of them quickly said as they both groveled towards Yasuo, already conveniently in sitting positions.
After multiple seconds passing in silence, they both looked up to see Yasuo being 'out of it'; in a trance. They were confused, had something happened? Looking towards the current Uchiha patriarch, they had found a twinkle of amusement in his eyes, while Yasuo's mother, too seemed to be amused, making them both even more confused than previously before.
The pair of them had never really interacted with Yasuo in the past if interacted at all. Though they were in the same class during the Academy, they had never talked with him, only smiles and nods in greeting as they were in the same clan.
At first, they thought he was just another Uchiha clan member, a member with otherworldly charm, otherworldly talent, otherworldly intellect, otherworldy wealth, otherworldly... you get the point, they were by no means jealous though, he was part of their clan, but shortly after he had gone into his comatose, the contemporary leader of the Uchiha Clan, Madara Uchiha, had casually stated Yasuo was his brother's son, which in turn meant that Yasuo was technically a prince of the Uchiha clan due to Madara's position.
Another thing this implied was that due to Yasuo's position in the clan as a prince, he had higher authority than Fugaku as long as he still remained as just the heir, or as long as Yasuo still remained a prince. And yet another thing this implied: THEY HAD BEEN IGNORING AN UCHIHA PRINCE THE ENTIRE TIME THAT HE HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF THEM!
"Miyrae-sama, Fugaku-sama, Madara-sama, I apologize for Yasuo-sama's behavior, he is not suited well with formalities." A distinctively elegant, yet almost emotionless voice suddenly rang, coming from behind Yasuo and Miyrae.
Everyone, other than Miyrae and Yasuo, looked towards the direction the voice had originated from, and who they found was a woman that would easily fit the description of a female 'supermodel' from those 'fashion' television shows, but with her stoic face and red eyes, it gave her a touch of mystery.
The reason why Yu Miaoyi already knew of Miyrae, Fugaku, Madara and most of the 'important' people in this 'Naruto' universe was courtesy of Shisui.
"Ah, who are you?" Fugaku spoke up, voice calm and steady, face now without the previous shock and surprise. He thought it was his duty and honor as the heir to the great Uchiha Clan to speak forward first when others did not. It was also a test of sorts for himself, to show to others that he was worthy of being their future leader.
Yu slightly bowed - she would only give the respect of bowing lowly to her young master - and replied, "My name is Hinako Akuta and I am Yasuo's servant, Fugaku-sama." Everyone nodded, Fugaku and Miyrae rising up, and didn't think much of it, having their attention drift back to the proclaimed Uchiha Prince.
Hearing the fake name Yu had given them, Miyrae merely assumed that it was to protect herself, Shisui's company, and the family, as others might want Yu Miaoyi dead, but not Hinako Akuta - not that Miyrae though that she is or was a wanted criminal or just someone that is wanted to be dead.
Madara however, though he didn't show it, was wary of this individual that called herself 'Hinako Akuta'. News travels quickly, and he had already heard about Shisui casting a genjutsu on his brother's family to make them think that she was a servant of the family.
He was also quite aware of her power. Though it was weaker than his prime, it was definitely stronger than his currently; he couldn't feel it. There were two meanings when one couldn't feel someone's chakra: one, they had no chakra or was using a technique to suppress it, or two, there were simply too powerful for someone to detect it, and Madara was guessing it was the latter of the two.
"So... what happened to Yasuo-san?" Fugaku decided to speak out.
Unnoticeably, with a hint of [Presence Concealment], Yu or now, Hinako, had slightly narrowed her eyes towards Fugaku, wanting to determine whether or not he would be a threat to her young master's safety, now and in the future. From what Shisui had told Hinako, Fugaku had started a coup d'état which led to the Uchiha Clan Downfall, a massacre of Uchihas by the man's own son and Shisui's best friend, Itachi Uchiha.
Hinako wanted to be born into the 'Naruto' universe, a regular timeline, unlike the current one that Urataros called a 'Singularity Timeline' where everyone in it existed independently of time itself.
She wanted to be more useful to her young master, perhaps if she too was born into the 'Naruto' universe, she would have access to the 'Dimensional' in the Paradise of Heroes.
If she had something like the Dimensional, she would be able to be more of use to her young master, but she knew she would never be able to have access to the Dimensional, ever. But, she was no hero, she was just an assassin - a very abnormal and strong in-a-strange-way assassin, but she didn't think that just being strong would help her young master very much...
"Hello...? Can anyone tell me what happened to Yasuo-san?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Where are Urataros and Onii-chan?"
"I do not know, young mistress," Yu replied. "However, I do know that Urataros possessed young master and teleported into [Kamui]. What they are doing or where they are in [Kamui], I myself, unfortunately, have no knowledge of."
"Thank you, Yu-san," Vyra said, still smiling and Yu nodded in return, opening her book and once again diving into the world of knowledge. Though smiling, inwardly, Vyra was sighing. 'He leaves for five years, comes back for 3, 4 hours, then just leaves again.' Then the sighing turned to light laughter. 'What a terrible brother you are.'
"How long have they been gone?" Vyra asked.
"A few minutes after you had left for your sleep, young mistress," Yu answered without looking away from her book. "Ah! Young mistress, I have a request."
Vyra looked towards Yu, who was now staring back towards her.
"Hmm?"
Yu acknowledged that as a 'yes', at least to listening to her request. "May I have a pair of glasses and books about chakra usage and control?"
"Can't you buy that in AM's shop?"
"About that..." Yu began as she lowered her gaze. "I have almost reached the monthly limit of spending..."
Vyra sighed and sat down on a couch.
"You can ask Shisui-san to get you what you need."
Yu nodded gratefully.
'I wonder when Yasuo-sama will come back...' Yu thought, internally salivating from the thought of her young master cooking food.
Though she had no need for food or any type of nourishment as being an [Elemental] allows her to feed off of nature, that, by no means, does it imply that she doesn't enjoy a good meal; in actuality, she was looking forward to having a nice early-morning breakfast, though unfortunately, her young master was currently not here to cook it.

Yu Miaoyi had even more respect for the man now. He was straight-forward, yet smart and had a very respectable personality.
As they were waiting for the others to wake up and the possessed boy to come back by chatting about among themselves, suddenly, a portal had opened, forming the figure and face of a handsome boy with a streak of blue hair... coincidently landing right on top of Vyra...
A tick mark could now be seen on Vyra's forehead while an unhealthy red was splashed onto her unnaturally beautiful face. Normally, she would have been overjoyed at the prospect of her brother 'accidentally' bumping into her, it was her beloved brother after all, but currently, she was most definitely not. Not only was her 'brother' covered in sweat and grime from whatever the hell he was doing, but this was wasn't her brother at all! Urataros was also not wearing his usual glasses for some reason.
Fierce aquamarine eyes met feeble and dishonest blue, and blue immediately turned vermillion red. An indignant scream soon thundered in the mansion as the sound of a harsh slap was mixed within. Awoken and/or startled by the noise below, everyone else soon came rushing downstairs... to see this rather extraordinary scene.
Izuna and Miyrae were rather amused, they weren't what you would call 'normal' parents, while Yu and Shisui were indifferent, both looking stoic; the former reading her book without a care in the world, and for the latter, he thought the situation was his young master's personal matters, thus he knew that he shouldn't and wouldn't interfere, which was exactly what he was going to do.

However, completely shattering her expectations, was a person who was seemingly ignorantly idiotic and somewhat happy-go-lucky, having no care in the world about his safety nor does he seem to have a purpose in life.
She couldn't understand, how was this person a supposed genius? Better yet, how was this person going to manage Elysian when Shisui could not? All she could see in him was that he was an idiotic mess not worth investment or time, and now she was most likely going to add 'pervert' to the list of things more negative than positive... other than his cooking, his cooking is simply godly.
And finally, as for the perpetrator himself...

"Onii-chan! I want more sausage!"
"Sure Vyra-chan," Yasuo replied as he went towards the kitchen and took out some utensils. It was funny, how they wanted food from a ten-year-old child while there were four adults in the room and at least one that could cook well. "Hotdog, currywurst or saveloy?"

He was also quite aware of her power. Though it was weaker than his prime, it was definitely stronger than his currently; he couldn't feel it. There were two meanings when one couldn't feel someone's chakra: one, they had no chakra or was using a technique to suppress it, or two, there were simply too powerful for someone to detect it, and Madara was guessing it was the latter of the two.
"So... what happened to Yasuo-san?" Fugaku decided to speak out.
Unnoticeably, with a hint of [Presence Concealment], Yu or now, Hinako, had slightly narrowed her eyes towards Fugaku, wanting to determine whether or not he would be a threat to her young master's safety, now and in the future. From what Shisui had told Hinako, Fugaku had started a coup d'état which led to the Uchiha Clan Downfall, a massacre of Uchihas by the man's own son and Shisui's best friend, Itachi Uchiha.
Hinako wanted to be born into the 'Naruto' universe, a regular timeline, unlike the current one that Urataros called a 'Singularity Timeline' where everyone in it existed independently of time itself.
She wanted to be more useful to her young master, perhaps if she too was born into the 'Naruto' universe, she would have access to the 'Dimensional' in the Paradise of Heroes.
If she had something like the Dimensional, she would be able to be more of use to her young master, but she knew she would never be able to have access to the Dimensional, ever. But, she was no hero, she was just an assassin - a very abnormal and strong in-a-strange-way assassin, but she didn't think that just being strong would help her young master very much...
"Hello...? Can anyone tell me what happened to Yasuo-san?"
"Where are Urataros and Onii-chan?""I do not know, young mistress," Yu replied. "However, I do know that Urataros possessed young master and teleported into Kamui. What they are doing or where they are in Kamui, I myself, unfortunately, have no knowledge of.""Thank you, Yu-san," Vyra said, still smiling and Yu nodded in return, opening her book and once again diving into the world of knowledge. Though smiling, inwardly, Vyra was sighing. 'He leaves for five years, comes back for 3, 4 hours, then just leaves again.' Then the sighing turned to light laughter. 'What a terrible brother you are.'"How long have they been gone?" Vyra asked."A few minutes after you had left for your sleep, young mistress," Yu answered without looking away from her book. "Ah! Young mistress, I have a request."Vyra looked towards Yu, who was now staring back towards her."Hmm?"Yu acknowledged that as a 'yes', at least to listening to her request. "May I have a pair of glasses and books about chakra usage and control?""Can't you buy that in AM's shop?""About that..." Yu began as she lowered her gaze. "I have almost reached the monthly limit of spending..."Vyra sighed and sat down on a couch."You can ask Shisui-san to get you what you need."Yu nodded gratefully.'I wonder when Yasuo-sama will come back...' Yu thought, internally salivating from the thought of her young master cooking food.Though she had no need for food or any type of nourishment as being an Elemental allows her to feed off of nature, that, by no means, does it imply that she doesn't enjoy a good meal; in actuality, she was looking forward to having a nice early-morning breakfast, though unfortunately, her young master was currently not here to cook it.Anyhow, they could both now hear light stomps that were becoming louder and louder near the staircase leading up and downstairs, which the cause of the noise soon revealed itself to be Shisui... speak of the devil.What Yu had wanted to ask of Shisui was soon dealt with, the latter merely nodding to her question before sitting on a chair, waiting for his young master to come back from wherever he was. Yu Miaoyi had even more respect for the man now. He was straight-forward, yet smart and had a very respectable personality.As they were waiting for the others to wake up and the possessed boy to come back by chatting about among themselves, suddenly, a portal had opened, forming the figure and face of a handsome boy with a streak of blue hair... coincidently landing right on top of Vyra...A tick mark could now be seen on Vyra's forehead while an unhealthy red was splashed onto her unnaturally beautiful face. Normally, she would have been overjoyed at the prospect of her brother 'accidentally' bumping into her, it was her beloved brother after all, but currently, she was most definitely not. Not only was her 'brother' covered in sweat and grime from whatever the hell he was doing, but this was wasn't her brother at all! Urataros was also not wearing his usual glasses for some reason.Fierce aquamarine eyes met feeble and dishonest blue, and blue immediately turned vermillion red. An indignant scream soon thundered in the mansion as the sound of a harsh slap was mixed within. Awoken and/or startled by the noise below, everyone else soon came rushing downstairs... to see this rather extraordinary scene.Izuna and Miyrae were rather amused, they weren't what you would call 'normal' parents, while Yu and Shisui were indifferent, both looking stoic; the former reading her book without a care in the world, and for the latter, he thought the situation was his young master's personal matters, thus he knew that he shouldn't and wouldn't interfere, which was exactly what he was going to do.As for Kyoko, she didn't know what to think of it. From everything that she had been told about her prodigious brother, she figured he was going to be an aloof character, 'edgy' as people called it. However, completely shattering her expectations, was a person who was seemingly ignorantly idiotic and somewhat happy-go-lucky, having no care in the world about his safety nor does he seem to have a purpose in life.She couldn't understand, how was this person a supposed genius? Better yet, how was this person going to manage Elysian when Shisui could not? All she could see in him was that he was an idiotic mess not worth investment or time, and now she was most likely going to add 'pervert' to the list of things more negative than positive... other than his cooking, his cooking is simply godly.And finally, as for the perpetrator himself..."Huh?"___"Yasuo-chan," Miyrae began, making everyone - except for Izuna, he was joyously stuffing himself full with food, plus he already knew what Miyrae was going to say - look towards her with inquisitive gazes. "We're going to visit the Uchiha compound later today."To this, everyone went back to engulfing their food, but Yasuo was still confused. "Why?" The boy asked with a tilt of his head. Other than Yu and Kyoko, everyone knew what he was going there to do, after all, they had all done it in the past."I am going to bring you to the Uchiha compound to visit your Uncle Madara." Yasuo nodded. "Then your uncle is going to bring you to the Naka Shrine to see the Stone Tablet." Miyrae sighed. "We've been meaning to bring you there since you were three, having awakened your Sharingan, but we never had the chance to do so. Then you went into your five-year coma, and we had to set it back even further."Yasuo nodded once again. "Sure mom," Yasuo said calmly with his childish voice while Miyrae was beaming with happiness at Yasuo calling her 'mom', now stuffing herself with even more food. Though he was unperturbed on the outside, he was in a panic on the inside.'They knew I had unlocked the Sharingan when I was at least three? Well, I can't change the past now... Maybe I can change the contents of the tablet to benefit myself... How, is the question... Perhaps with Fable?'His way of thinking was to change something that was somewhat detrimental to himself, people finding out he had awakened the Sharingan, into something that would help him in the long run via changing the Stone Tablet..."Onii-chan! I want more sausage!""Sure Vyra-chan," Yasuo replied as he went towards the kitchen and took out some utensils. It was funny, how they wanted food from a ten-year-old child while there were four adults in the room and at least one that could cook well. "Hotdog, currywurst or saveloy?"___"Yasuo-chan, are you ready?" Miyrae asked."Yes mom, I am clothed," Yasuo answered, his voice with a hint of sarcasm that Miyrae didn't seem to catch."Great!" She grinned as she held Yasuo's hand and lead them towards the streets.Both of them were wearing simple, unadorned clothes that everyone else that was traveling along the village roads were wearing, without the Uchiha Clan symbol decorated onto the outfit, but that had not stopped them from still sticking out from the rest of the 'ordinary' bunch.Here, were two abnormally attractive individuals, one male, walking the streets, minding their own business, but that did not stop stares from moving their way. It was the 'abnormally attractive' part that had done so, not to mention the equally, perhaps even more, beautiful woman walking right behind them.This woman was, of course, Yu. While everyone else had decided to stay home for whatever reasons, Yu had chosen to come with her young master, the reason being that she simply had nothing else better to do. Her custom-made glasses were not coming until at least a day or two, and the books she wanted too were not coming until later. She had used most of her available Points, so she couldn't buy something from AM's shop to keep her distracted, and she also wanted to protect her young master, thus leading to the conclusion of her following Yasuo-sama and Miyrae-sama to the Uchiha compound.Due to the group having this seemingly unnatural, yet innate charm, they were bound to have all types of stares led their way: envy, lust, greed, however, the group paid no mind to these observers, merely looking ahead and walking at a steady pace towards their destination.While they were walking, however, Yasuo was thinking of ways to alter the Stone Tablet. From somewhat off-hand conversations he and Shisui had in the past, he knew the contents of the Stone Tablet, some things about the Mangeky Sharingan, some things about the Curse of Hatred, and some forged bullsh*t about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. How Shisui knew about the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Simple, the Dimensional allowing him to view the past and future.But anyhow, again, Yasuo was trying to think of ways to change the Stone Tablet, and hopefully getting some benefits along the way. His current plan was to create a distraction then use Fable and Mystery to hide and then change the tablet, but that plan had plenty of flaws and outside factors that could change the outcome.Yasuo also had another plan in mind, though it was more of an 'addon' to the current one. This plan had Yasuo create a clone right after the 'distraction' step, and daub some Mystery onto the clone so that it doesn't get found out that it is a 'clone', then perform the current plan.However, like the other, too had many flaws, like if by chance someone touches the clone, they would go right past it as it was intangible. The Clone Jutsu could even be classified as a Genjutsu by some and Yasuo didn't have Shadow Clones to his disposal as of yet...'I don't have the Shadow Clone Jutsu?' Yasuo mentally facepalmed. 'I've never seen Shisui perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu... Umu. I'll ask Shisui about that after I visit the Naka Shrine.' Yasuo thought, determined to later learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu.While Yasuo was in deep thought, he suddenly felt something tapping him on the shoulder. Looking behind, he had found it was Yu, who stoically said, "Young master, we are here" before pointing towards the Uchiha compound.He looked towards where Yu had pointed - right in front of him - and what greeted him was a traditional-looking Japanese mansion of his old world. There was a gate that led into the compound and connected to the gate, were stone walls that surrounded the house with the Uchiha Clan's symbol embedded onto them.The Uchiha Clan symbol was one of the many reasons why Miyrae and Izuna chose not to live in the Uchiha compound. The Uchihas were simply too proud, always donning the symbol of the clan on everything to show off their supremacy to the village. Yasuo's parents didn't want to associate with that; though some would call it cowardice.Izuna wanted to have harmony in the village, equality, while Miyrae wanted the clan to become 'better', her issue being that there were very few citizens that honestly 'liked' the Uchiha due to their normally haughty nature.In all honesty, Miyrae thought that the Hyga Clan were 'superior' to the Uchiha in more ways than one. They were polite and honorable, and due to this, they have more power over the citizens of Konohagakure than the Uchiha, the populace finding themselves liking the well-mannered ones more than the arrogant ones; what a surprise.Though Miyrae strongly disagrees with the cursed seal that the Hyga put on their branch members, she would say that the Hyga Clan was better than the Uchiha, not that she actually would ever say it, she was part of the Uchiha Clan after all..."Let's go!" Miyrae smiled as she led the group inside of the gate, inside of the mansion, and into the main hall of the compound. Already inside in the main hall, seemingly just relaxing and casually sipping on tea on a relatively small, low round table, were the heir of the clan Fugaku Uchiha and his fiance Mikoto Uchiha, now staring at Yasuo and his group with shock, while Madara too was doing the same, but instead was wearing a calm smile.Judging from Madara's expression, Yasuo figured that he already knew they were coming, thinking, 'Maybe mother told Uncle Madara we were coming, but uncle told no one else.' Yasuo internally nodded, it made sense. He had been shifting his eyes all around during their arrival to the main hall, and there were no Uchiha elders present - well, at least he had found none - while Fugaku and Mikoto looked surprised seeing that we were here. 'Why would Uncle Madara do that though? I see no reason why not to announce it to the elders... We didn't see any clan members strolling around the mansion or any patrollers either...'While Yasuo was thinking away, a single sentence and movement had knocked him into a frozen sweat: "Fugaku/Mikoto Uchiha greets Uchiha Prince, Yasuo-sama." Both of them quickly said as they both groveled towards Yasuo, already conveniently in sitting positions.After multiple seconds passing in silence, they both looked up to see Yasuo being 'out of it'; in a trance. They were confused, had something happened? Looking towards the current Uchiha patriarch, they had found a twinkle of amusement in his eyes, while Yasuo's mother, too seemed to be amused, making them both even more confused than previously before.The pair of them had never really interacted with Yasuo in the past if interacted at all. Though they were in the same class during the Academy, they had never talked with him, only smiles and nods in greeting as they were in the same clan.At first, they thought he was just another Uchiha clan member, a member with otherworldly charm, otherworldly talent, otherworldly intellect, otherworldy wealth, otherworldly... you get the point, they were by no means jealous though, he was part of their clan, but shortly after he had gone into his comatose, the contemporary leader of the Uchiha Clan, Madara Uchiha, had casually stated Yasuo was his brother's son, which in turn meant that Yasuo was technically a prince of the Uchiha clan due to Madara's position.Another thing this implied was that due to Yasuo's position in the clan as a prince, he had higher authority than Fugaku as long as he still remained as just the heir, or as long as Yasuo still remained a prince. And yet another thing this implied: THEY HAD BEEN IGNORING AN UCHIHA PRINCE THE ENTIRE TIME THAT HE HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF THEM!"Miyrae-sama, Fugaku-sama, Madara-sama, I apologize for Yasuo-sama's behavior, he is not suited well with formalities." A distinctively elegant, yet almost emotionless voice suddenly rang, coming from behind Yasuo and Miyrae.Everyone, other than Miyrae and Yasuo, looked towards the direction the voice had originated from, and who they found was a woman that would easily fit the description of a female 'supermodel' from those 'fashion' television shows, but with her stoic face and red eyes, it gave her a touch of mystery.The reason why Yu Miaoyi already knew of Miyrae, Fugaku, Madara and most of the 'important' people in this 'Naruto' universe was courtesy of Shisui."Ah, who are you?" Fugaku spoke up, voice calm and steady, face now without the previous shock and surprise. He thought it was his duty and honor as the heir to the great Uchiha Clan to speak forward first when others did not. It was also a test of sorts for himself, to show to others that he was worthy of being their future leader.Yu slightly bowed - she would only give the respect of bowing lowly to her young master - and replied, "My name is Hinako Akuta and I am Yasuo's servant, Fugaku-sama." Everyone nodded, Fugaku and Miyrae rising up, and didn't think much of it, having their attention drift back to the proclaimed Uchiha Prince.Hearing the fake name Yu had given them, Miyrae merely assumed that it was to protect herself, Shisui's company, and the family, as others might want Yu Miaoyi dead, but not Hinako Akuta - not that Miyrae though that she is or was a wanted criminal or just someone that is wanted to be dead.Madara however, though he didn't show it, was wary of this individual that called herself 'Hinako Akuta'. News travels quickly, and he had already heard about Shisui casting a genjutsu on his brother's family to make them think that she was a servant of the family.He was also quite aware of her power.

Fugaku decided to speak out.Unnoticeably, with a hint of Presence Concealment, Yu or now, Hinako, had slightly narrowed her eyes towards Fugaku, wanting to determine whether or not he would be a threat to her young master's safety, now and in the future.
