Uchiha Clan Joining

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi stood in the gardens of the clan house, standing under the cherry blossom tree as he allowed himself to look at the stand that was in front of him he knew full well that he to get this meeting over with since he had returned. It was a well-known fact that right now he had matters to deal with inside of his office and outside of his job as well, he would have to get to work shortly on making sure that the branch was looked after. But since he had been away he had also noticed that there was a lot more Uchiha walking around, this would have to be addressed before it became an issue.

Takeshi allowed himself to sigh as he looked up into the sky at that split second, knowing full well that he had summoned all the local Uchiha. It was time to expand the clan house, open houses that had not been used for years and expand the Uchiha house hold. This is what he wanted for so long now. To see the clan return home after everything that had happened was something Takeshi would never argue against, he knew full well that things where only going to get better form here.

The chairs would be welcome for anyone to take a seat at, the stage had a simple podium with the Uchiha clan logo on. The guards of the clan house instructed to sit anyone that came inside of the meeting into the guardians, the welcoming smell of the trees and nice breeze echoed around as Takeshi prepared himself to have this conversation that would change the clan for the future. He allowed himself to put on the Uchiha clan head jacket. Waiting patiently it would now be a wait to see who turned up to the offer of joining the clan.

 

[Uchiha Ryo]

Ryo made his way to the front door the clan manse, he looked at the guard and offered him the slip which invited all Uchiha to the clan. The guard took the slip of paper, as it was taken from his hand for inspection Ryo peered through the window and wondered how many more Uchiha he would meet this day. The guard nodded to Ryo and opened the door for him and pointed him the direction where he needed to go. Nodding, Ryo made his way into the Manse and could see it’s long hallways the clan house appeared to have been made to house many Uchiha but as he made his way towards the gardens he had yet to see any Uchiha, Maybe the civil war reduced the population of Konoha so much that only a few were left.

As he made his way down the hallway he could see where his destination the gardens. Ryo smiled he had always wanted to be apart of a bigger family, a clan. This was also one of the first time Ryo would meet his Kin such large numbers and he was eager to meet each and everyone of them. As he approached he couldn’t hear anyone as he approached, maybe he was early. As he took the final steps out into the gardens, he could see a single figure standing there with a Jacket with the Uchiha symbol, “Hello, I’m Uchiha Ryo.” He made his way to a seat placed in front of the podium and sat down. “I guess I’m here pretty early, huh.”

[Tomomi Chijimatsu]

Miyako has been sitting in the gardens for quite some time now, she even watched as the clansmen set up the podium and the seating before it. Miyako considers herself a part of the Uchiha clan because this is where she spends most of her free time. She's been spending most of it in the shade since she lost in the tournament, the darkness hiding the redness in her eyes and the bandages on her face and arms. She feels like a disgrace to the clan itself, though hopefully they'll have mercy on her. Maybe she'll just watch the speech or whatever is going on from the comfortable spot under the awning that covers the entrance to one of the halls on the Uchiha grounds.

She recognizes Ryo as he comes and sits down, a boy she sparred with before the tournament. He's younger than her, though most likely stronger than her in the long run. She sighs and tucks her hands into her armpits as she waits for more potential clan members to arrive.

 

[Kishinami Kou]

Kuro didn't get why he had come here in the first place, no he did, but he still pretended like everything that had happened in the last few days was a dream of some sort, yet he was here. He stood still infront of the gates as he considered his position. On one hand he wanted to find out more about himself, about where he came from and also what the Uchiha were like as a clan. On the other hand though, he hated the idea of being connected to a clan of people who cared for each other. The main reason he was here was because he wanted to grow from it and improve himself an that was easier learning with and from others.

He walked up closer to the gate and tried to enter, but was stopped to show his invitation. Ofcourse he had none since nobody knew he was an Uchiha, he had only heard of this since it was a topic that half the town seemed to be interested in. "Look, I don'r have an invitation since nobody actually knows I am an Uchiha." He said to the guard while puplling his sunglasses off. "See?" Kuro's eyes turned into the Sharingan as he looked at the man. "Well I guess you have more of a believable story then the others who said they were Uchiha, just don't try anything funny." The man said and Kuro was wondering if people actually tried to get in just to find out about the meeting of the Uchiha.

As Kuro was allowed entry, he kind of kept himself half hidden, traversing shadows so he wouldn't be spotted as quickly. This was more of a clanshouse then Kuro would ever consider spending on anything, but he planned on living alone anyways, so that wasn't much of a surprise to him. Kuro eventually arrived where they were supposed to meet up and immediately spotted Takeshi who was looking like he was important and he probably was, even outside of being a sennin. But Kuro also noticed all the other already attending Uchiha and every single one of them had nothing in common with him, especially his white hair made him stand out, although he himself had at one point had black hair. The ANbu in training sat down in the backmost row of seats to get as few people as possible to notice him and planned on especially avoiding a confrontation with Takeshi, right now he had no Idea what to tell him if he asked why he was here or an Uchiha.

[Uchiha Hana]

Hana was determined to learn more of what she was, and be with others of her kind. She trailed down the hall to two big doors. She pushed them open with little force, inside was a beautiful garden with cherry blossom trees everywhere. Hana loved gardens, she took a deep breath in and smelled the blossoms, as a cool breeze swept through and looked around, and saw two others sitting in seats. One was a boy with Dark hair, the other a girl with long dark hair and a man with green hair standing at which appeared to be a podium. He seemed quite powerful as Hana sensed. “I hope this goes well” she said to herself silently, before proceeding forward.

Hana slowly mad her way to a seat, she smiled at the others. The girl smiled back at her, Hanna seemed a little unsure of her seeing the bandages on her, she was sure there was a story there. The boy to Hana seemed alright and a bit anxious for what was to come. Hana slumped back in her seat and gave a big sigh, patiently waiting on others to show and for the speech to start. Each new place she gone was a different learning adventure. The last occurrence with her though made her feel like a monster and she didn’t really understand why it was happening, she hoped to learn more about it, to control it better. Hana seemed to like this power way to much was afraid it could get out hand if she didn’t learn to control it, but this is why she was here.

[Uchiha Rakutsu]

Rakutsu was stopped by a guard who wanted to see his invitation, but didn't have one on him. Instead, he showed the guard his sharingan eyes with a single tomoe in each eye. This was more than enough to allow him entry into the Uchiha clan district where the clan members live in unity. The place that might become his new home. The whole thing seemed to be very far fetched.

A few months ago, he was a orphan who believed himself to have no family trying to get though the academy only to discover that he had the power of the most feared clan in the shinobi world. He remembered awakening it in order to protect Hayate from his bullies. The extra power given to him was more then enough to make the bullies look like ants to him. The moment he saw the eyes in the mirror, he thought he was just seeing things, but it turns out they were real.

This means that he actually had a parent who was part of the clan and he had a extended family of cousins! The idea of having such a big family made him fluster inside, but didn't get ahead of himself. After his poor preformance in the student tournament, he wasn't sure if they would take him in. The clan probably had no use for weak members. Taking his chances, he took a seat awaking the clan leader to address them.

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi watched as people had started to show up, he allowed a small smile towards all those that sat down before giving himself a few minutes to think of what he would say, it was clear that they had turned up and each one had the gift of the eyes. He could not mistake that there was more Uchiha than he could have imagined turning up to this, but he knew full well that he was required to talk to them to see if they wanted to be taken in by the Clan. It was their right to join the clan and Takeshi knew that much as well. Taking a breath in he stood on the podium in the Clan head robes that had been passed down to him.

“Welcome to the Uchiha clan house, a place of haven and training for those that have been gifted with the eyes from our bloodline. My name is Takeshi Uchiha, I am currently the serving clan head of this household and it would be on my invitation that you have all come here today. I am going to explain what is on offer to you today and what is required of you in return, like many before you that have passed through the doors of the clan house”

Takeshi allowed himself to pause as he looked from face to face, some of them he recognised others he was unsure of but they all had one thing in common. They all had the Uchiha blood running through their veins and each of them had just started their journey out in this world. Takeshi would offer them a place to live, a place to stay and a place to train and learn, the Uchiha clan house could offer all of that for anyone who considered themselves a clan member. As he allowed himself to pause in a few seconds he spoke once more to the group.

“Today the clan offers you the chance to join it, as Uchiha each of you qualify for the right to stay and live here in this clan buildings. If you wish to live inside the main building or on the outskirts well that is completely down to you. But the offer is here, we have resources and training grounds. People who can develop your bloodline skills, the offer is there for you to join the clan. If you wish to do so we will need you to sign yourself to the clan and swear the allegiance of the Uchiha.”

Takeshi waited, he wanted to see if anyone had anything to say in this situation, though he doubted it. Knowing full well when he was given this offer he jumped at the chance and now he found himself leading the Clan. It would come down to each of them to decide if they had a question to ask, or if they wanted to sign themselves up for the Clan. The door was open to them they had this chance today to walk through it.

 

[Uchiha Ryo]

As Ryo heard Takeshi speak he looked around the room and saw how many Uchiha had gathered, Ryo thought and pondered if he had ever seen so many Uchiha and could not think of any occasion where this many had gathered. He thought about how powerful the idea of a clan can be, bringing those of the same blood together under one roof, striving for the same thing. Resolved Ryo stood up and looked up at Takeshi, “I, Uchiha Ryo, will take up your offer! The chance to make the Uchiha name great again is a chance I will not allow myself to pass up!” Ryo knew that from this they can make the Uchiha name as great as in the days of old. Ryo was supportive of this endeavor Takeshi was undertaking bringing in all the Uchiha and reforming them into a clan.

As he stood there Ryo hoped that others will take the decision he did in joining the clan, hopefully together they can all bring the clan back to its former glory. Not too mention getting stronger and developing the Doujutsu they all shared the Sharingan to new levels. Also, the offer of a new home amongst Kin was very appealing. As Ryo stepped forward he hoped he would the first of many.

 

[Uchiha Hana]

More came in one by one, Hana looked at them all, then directed her attention to Takeshi, as he stood before the podium. Hana felt nervous and excited all at once to what he would have to say. He began to speak, everyone got quiet. Hana listened carefully to everything he said, about joining the clan. Hana thought to herself “they sure offer a lot to the ones of the bloodline”. Hana still pondered how she got this bloodline to begin with. A lot seemed a bit mysterious since that faithful day she ended up in leaf.

Hana continued to listen to Takeshi, he was very wise, she both respected but feared him a little, she wasn’t sure why though. She hoped in coming days, weeks, she would learn what this was all about, but that’s why she is here. Takeshi finished his speech and a young boy stood up and said he would join. Hana wanted to also join, she must find out what happened to her and why. She felt a bit shy to stand up and announce it though.

Hana knew she had so much time to let Takeshi know she wanted to join. Nervously she thought for a moment, then got enough courage to stand up, if anyone could help her understand all this, it’s him. “I would like to join also” Hana spoke quickly. She looked over at the boy staring at her. As she stood there waiting on the others to join as well.

 

[Tomomi Chijimatsu]

Miyako stands and walks towards the aisles of chair, her gaze showing quite a bit of disinterest. "Swear our allegiance to the Uchiha clan?" She questions aloud, her lids narrowing. She didn't really care about the credentials that Takeshi held, but she knew that as a public speaker he'd most likely answer civilly and give her the information that she was truly looking for, "What exactly does that entail?" Her voice is almost defiant, though its one that would stick out in a crowd. She would've waited, however, until the others had said what they needed to.

Miyako wasn't trying to be openly defiant, she just had to know what she was getting into before deciding whether or not she wanted to follow the guidelines that it took to be an Uchiha. All of these others that showed up are so eager to join after a well-spoke monologue, though Miyako was much more cautious and thoughtful about the entire situation. After approaching, Miyako's arms would slide together and cross over her chest as she waited for Takeshi's response.

 

[Uchiha Izura]

As soon as Miyako finished asking her questions, another person rose from the crowd of onlookers. She strode over to Miyako and smiled at her kindly, winking at the young girl, patting her head in a sisterly way.

Hanako crossed her arms, sighing. She girl was older, and by the looks of it, likely in her early twenties. She then addressed Takeshi.

"Senpai, you're talking to us like you're inviting us to an organization. But at the end of the day, no matter now distant, or scattered we are, we're still family. Here you have men, women, and children gathered, and instead of just offering us back the home we had before the war, you're asking us to pledge allegiance to the clan like it's some kind of small army. What gives? We're not all shinobi either, yanno."

As if to emphasize that point, she hovered her hand, palm up, pointed in the direction of an elderly couple that had taken a seat next to her. Clearly neither of them were ninja- they were just looking to return to the clan grounds and reunite with long lost family members. She crossed her arms again, a slight frown on her face. She didn't exactly dislike Takeshi, but there was a bit of suspicion that she held towards him. It was like she was being that pesky sister that pointed out his flaws in front of everyone almost teasingly. But she couldn't help but wonder; was it power Takeshi was after? A small army of sharingan wielders was no small threat, let alone an army that had sworn their allegiance to the family as a whole, and subsequently their leader.

[NPC Entered Thread]

[I grant express permission for Uchiha Takeshi to have met and known Hanako before this thread for helping him organize the Uchiha clan's records and history. In this capacity, she has been a "pesky but useful aide", acting more like the younger sister he never had than anything]

 

[Yozora Akihito]

Akihito could not believe it. Of all the damn days! He had overslept. Despite his usual punctuality (laziness notwithstanding), he actually managed to screw it up on this stupidly important day. Crap! Just why! Why, of all the possible times this year, did it have to be today! As he ran towards the Uchiha Clan house as fast as he could, he remembered yesterday's events.
He had heard that the Uchiha were giving their wayward members an opportunity to join the clan. It was honestly... A hard decision for him to make. Contrary to a lot of the others he had seen across the village, Akihito had a family. Not an abusive family, not a never present family, not a... dead family. His family was loving and he loved them just as much. As the son of a banished member, Banished for such petty reasons... Akihito couldn't help but resent the clan that shared his blood a bit. But that was then and this was now. Who knows, maybe the people in charge had changed! He discussed the matter with his parents, points and counterpoints. Possible outcomes and consequences of his decisions. In the end, he had decided to try his luck, with their blessing. There would be a few conditions he would like to see fulfilled before joining though. As much as gaining more family appealed to him, he was leaving no one behind.

As he got closer he could finally see the gates to the house. He had no slip, considering that he had been hiding his eyes until not too long ago, so he simply showed his eyes to the guards and they let him in. They seemed unsurprised... Maybe I'm not the only one?

As he got into the gardens he observed the people already inside. There was an imposing man at the podium with the Uchiha crest, Probably the currently head. and 6 other people. He vaguely recognized 3 of the people, I think they're also students... but the other 3 were completely unknown to him. I did not expect this many people. I guess the village has quite a few strays.
"I apologize for my tardiness and for interrupting the meeting. I was not able to be in time but I hope you are willing to accept my presence." With that he waited for the leader's decision.

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi listened to the words that were being spoken, as he listened to people talking and deciding how to react to everyone. Takeshi knew that a few had signed up already and it was clear that they were looking to be part of something greater, he had no issue with that and even welcomed people into the clan with open arms. It was clear that Takeshi had probably put the wrong wording on the beginning of his speech, it wasn’t like they were even a military branch. Or that they even had to serve the clan if it came to it, they just had to accept their calling.

“Maybe allegiance was the wrong word, the correct term was signing up to abide by the family rules, represent the Uchiha clan with pride in everything you do. And never give out our secrets about our eyes that’s probably the better wording. We have enough room in the houses that have stood empty for people to move in.”

Takeshi allowed himself to address everyone as he tried to reassure them that there was nothing malicious or even devious about the offer that he was giving people. They didn’t have to join the clan or even be part of it, but the houses stood empty all they had to do was now show up and give the clan a bad name. Simple part to it, as he noticed those that had already signed up and the late comer was last to join this meeting. Takeshi allowed himself to listen to the words that had been spoken.

“People are always welcome inside of this clan house, I’m just seeing who would want to join the Uchiha clan and lvie inside this clan house.”

[Yozora Akihito]

Relieved that he was not going to be turned away, Akihito made his way into the seats. Choosing one on the sides, he pondered on what would be said. I don't want to come of as rude, but I also don't want to be looked upon as weak. If they are like the previous generation, then I'll simply turn my back and walk away, blood be damned, but if they're not... Whatever, I should just say it. If they're decent people they will not take it at all badly. Steeling himself, Akihito voiced his choice and conditions.
"I would like to join the Uchiha Clan and if I do so I will follow the clan's rules and not shame it's name. Despite that, I can not simply join. I have a family I care about outside of it. A family who has been previously wronged by the clan. I have a few conditions, conditions which do not in any way harm the clan, that have to be fulfilled before I join. If I am to become a part of the clan, I will not leave them behind. Despite my father being a non-Uchiha, my mother not having manifested the sharingan and my sister not having manifested and having the possibility of never having it happen, I would like them to be allowed into the family. I wish for them to be able to live with me in one of the clan houses." Akihito stopped a bit to breathe and to steel himself further before revealing his final condition. "It is also within my wishes that Uchiha Miyako, my mother, be once again accepted as an Uchiha. Her father banished her merely because she did not manifest the bloodline's dojutsu! I want this undone. No family should cast away someone merely because of power!"
I might have been a tad more forceful than I wished to, but what is done is done. Nothing to do but wait. With that, Akihito sat back down and waited for the clan leader to answer.

 

[Tomomi Chijimatsu]

Takeshi obviously has given an answer to appease Miyako, though she still is somewhat hesitant in joining. She glances up to Hanako briefly before making eye contact with Takeshi and stepping forward.

“I wish to join the clan and prove that I have what it takes to not only be a great shinobi, but also what it takes to be a valuable asset to the Uchiha clan as a whole.”

To Miyako, it was odd that Akihito’s mother had the same name as her, as she thought her name was fairly unique, oh well. Having already been residing in the clan houses, she hoped that she was not intruding in any way, but she did share the name and bloodline of the Uchiha clan and thought it was only proper. A quiet sigh reassures the crowd that she has nothing more to say, her hands clasping together in front of her waist as she awaits either acceptance or rebuttal from Takeshi, an obviously powerful man.

[Uchiha Izura]

Hanako smirked, her arms still crossed.

"Alright senpai, whatever you say I guess~"

She yawned, stretching her arms out to the sky.

"You already know I live here, so just write my name down in that ledger of yours~"

She smiled, flashing her teeth, before putting her hands casually in her pockets.

"I'm off to the Konoha library. See ya!~"

She blew some air out of the corner of her mouth, pushing a strand of hair out of the way of her eyes before she began walking out of the area they had reserved for Takeshi's fancy speech. Hanako was hardly the type to stick around and listen to such matters anyway.

[Uchiha Rakutsu]

Rakutsu watched as more people entered, but choose to keep his distance. It was clear that the boy was still unsure about being here given his body language. His plan was to ask to join after his tournament match so that he could get a better chance at joining by showing his strength. However, his plans backfired when he lost in the first round. Afterwards, he was scared to ask thinking the clan would reject him for his weakness.

But seeing how accepting the clan head was he decided to give it a shot. "I, Rakutsu wish to join the Uchiha clan to prove my strength as a shinobi."

 

[Uchiha Takeshi]

Takeshi allowed everyone to speak what they had in their mind, as he pondered for a few seconds on the topics that had been addressed to him, it seemed that everyone had already made their mind on what action they would be taking for this clan invite, and with the numbers coming in it seemed that over night the Uchiha clan had managed to triple in numbers, something that Takeshi had to admit that even he found strange, yet something appealed to him about this.

“That’s fine, anyone who is a Uchiha may join this clan, they can live here and so can your mother. I have no issue with that, anyone can join. As for the rest of you that have joined the Clan I welcome you inside of the clan, I look forward to seeing what the future holds for the Uchiha, I know full well that we are all here to see this clan restore its place. Now that everything is done and that I request that you all enjoy yourself and welcome to the clan”

With the words spoken and those that turned up accepted into the clan it seemed that everything he had Setout to achieve had been completed. Takeshi allowed himself to leave the stage in that second as he walked off it was clear that this clan meeting was now over and those that had decided to accept the offer had been approved into them. Takeshi smiled as he considered the fact that the clan would now be growing, and it seemed there was more of a future for everyone that was being involved.

[Uchiha Ryo]

He smiled that, so many had Uchiha had come together, and would come to make the clan Uchiha great again, with everyone speaking he stepped out of the room and thought about all the items he would have to gather from his current residency and move over to his brand new clan house, Stepping out he made his way home to begin the transition from there to his new home.
