The Legend of the Emerald Dragon
ルビードラゴン
arc one; the ogiga gaiden
My parents didn’t want me around anymore- point blank period. They knew if anyone found out I was a uchiha, the world would be after me.. and my eyes. I was placed on a set of marble steps which acted as entrance to the konoha orphanage when I was around a year old. I remember being in tears when I was picked up by two pale-skinned ladies. Their heads were covered with scarves but I could clearly see their eyes which were wrapped in mascara and make up. It was as my parents at least wanted me to know of them.. or for me to know that they cared somewhat.. otherwise I would have been thrown at the orphanage at birth.. but I feel that’s something I’ll never know. The fact that my parents weren’t there anymore didn’t seem to bother me as much as I thought it would as I began to grow into a full fledged kid- alongside my “brothers and sisters” of the orphanage. We were all brats in the eyes of our counselors though- asana and mina nara; to me they looked like they were depressed.. or that life hadn’t given them what they wanted because they always seemed so dull.
Even at my younger age I could tell that they were not satisfied with their lives, as if they were forced into the position. It must have been the reason they never played with us- kids in an orphanage growing up with each other… it seemed alright at first.. but I wanted more. All us kids could ever hope of doing one day was to get to the age of thirteen, the respectful age we could leave the orphanage; either that or become recruited into the shinobi academy, but not many orphans were ever chosen for that. The world of shinobi was something that had preoccupied my every thought ever since I was old enough to understand what one was. There were good shinobi and there were bad shinobi- and although I’d been raised up in a pretty shitty environment I was still unsure of which side I was on. Unlike me, however, one kid seemed to stand out above everyone else. He called himself.. ogiga.
Me and him were rivals from the start- not that we could help it though.. we always seemed to have a pretty shitty expression when we looked at one another. We also got into a lot of fights.. but honestly, that was the very same reason we ended up becoming brothers. “Promise me you’ll become a shinobi too yoku!” “Stop calling me that! My names Agaru’mo!” “What a stupid name..”. We pretty much hated each others guts in every other situation.. but when it came to becoming a shinobi of the village of leaf we were always on the same side even though our other siblings discouraged us from it. Around the age of 10 or 11 is when me and Ogiga fled for our lives. . never to see each other again, or so I thought at the time, in attempts of securing our own safety from the men attacking the kids at the orphanage.
We saw it on our way back from the lake one afternoon- men in black hooded robes stormed the house.. but all I could hear were the screams. Tears rolled down my face as I made my way to an opening at a lake.. only to see my rival Ogiga facing me with a devilish smirk painted across his lips.
?!
I don’t remember much from that moment- all I know is that I blacked out after feeling an intense pain on the back of my head. I would awake tied up in the confines of a shed with the very same hooded men I’d seen before surrounding me.
“Sink into his mind. See who he and his parents are, and why he is so important to the current hokage” … I could hear the man very clearly as the other placed his head along my head. From out of nowhere would my memories as a child come back to taunt me- before my eyes would I see my life flash before me instantaneously, being sucked into the mind of whomever was touching me. “He is a uchiha sir… his parents…his parents are the ones who escaped..” - I would hear nothing after that, only the sound of a small chuckle.
”Erase his memory. We will take his eyes when they are fully formed…”
