Chapter 44 - Insecurities

No one saw what she had said but Tsumiki who activated sharingan was able to read it as he hugged her and silently wept. "It wasn't your fault baby. It wasn't your fault it was mine to begin with." 

"Will you two shut up!" Yuna looked at the two as her hair started to fly. "I am still alive not dead. So why are you crying? Beside didn't she told there is a very small chance. So be positive my little idiots." 

Seeing her expressions and outrage both of them try to smile through tears but it was unpleasant to see as both females scowled at them. 

"Too ugly" Tsunade furrowed her brows. 

"Yeah" Yuna agreed with her. Then she looked at Tsukiho with a popped vein."Tsukiho Uchiha!" The child flinched under her rumbling. 

"Yes mom" she said weakly. 

"What is that mangekyou fiasco ha....? Didn't I told you not to use sharingan too much?" Very dark aura appeared around her. "And then you have to go ahead and awaken mangekyou hah? From now on you have to study more scrolls than usual" 

"Yes mom" she meekly said.

"And you?" Then she glared at Tsumiki. "Don't even think about to climb my bed if you didn't make up your attitude. From now on you will sleep on the couch" Tsumiki flinched as he blushed at what she said.

"How can you say something like that?" He protested with a red face like Uzumaki hair. "From now on I am going to look after you. And you are prohibited to use your chakra unless it must." He said while looking at her eyes.

"Let's see it in the future, ya know" she avoided his gaze with flustered expression. Tsunade rolled her eyes at their PDA. 

"Hey you two! There is a child here!" She took a peek at Tsukiho with other two adults. But she was looking at the space in front of her with an empty gaze.

After some minutes she looked at Yuna. "Mom can I just make one clone daily. I can't learn medical ninjutsu and fuinjutsu at the same time." She asked. 

"Permission granted" she said teasingly. But she didn't respond to that and walk away with a small forced smile. 

"Something wrong with her" Tsunade unconsciously said.

"Of course, she has just awakened mangekyou sharingan. Uchiha clan's most powerful dojutsu. It won't awaken like some kind of cabbage." Tsumiki rolled his eyes.

"She is very intelligent and very emotional child despite being three year old. Mom always said that she will be the one who will bring hope to Uchiha clan. I always think her words are not some kind of self convincing words." Yuna said with a sigh.

"It is a huge burden to her" Tsumiki said suddenly. 

"What do you mean?" Tsunade asked.

"Mangekyou sharingan" he answered. "She is still a child. She shouldn't use them. Not until one or two years from now on." he said.

"I believe in her." Yuna smiled. "She know about that. So she won't use it. Not until she could stand up on her own" 

"I know. She is my child after all." Tsumiki showed a small smile. 

"I heard my granduncle often said that the stronger Uchihas' hatred the more eye power they will have" Tsunade frowned. 

"Oh you mean the curse of hatred?" Tsumiki scoffed at her. "Not all Uchiha have that. Your granduncle was too wary of my clan. Anyway he really has a poor character judgement" 

"May be you are correct" Tsunade sighed. 

"I didn't feel any any hatred from her but I felt a huge trauma with a huge chakra disturbance from her. And there is a huge sadness added to that" Yuna smiled bitterly. 

"I don't think we could fix it...." this time he sighed with helplessness. 

"We can't but I believe she will be able do that" Yuna smiled. "Seems like she already sensed it" 

"Mom?" Tsumiki asked seriously. 

"Yup" she stood up and went to teach Tsukiho's clones and other two also followed her out.

Meanwhile Tsukiho entered the forest and went deep through and started to climb a small mountain in there. Though it is small, the peak of the mountain still covered up with mist. After flickered near the peak she felt cold. But she ignored it as she used to it.

Then she climbed up to a top of tree using chakra and laid on a strong branch and looked at the sea. Seeing the small waves touching the beach sand she took a deep breath and let it out.

"If you want to go to the beach you can say to me. I can bring you there instantly." A familiar voice came from the below. 

"No need grandma" she shake her hand. "I just....I just I don't know.... I feel something that I don't know how to say."

"First just relax sweetie" Naori sat beside her and took the child in to her arms. She placed a hand on the child back and caressed. "I already have known you awaken it"

Seeing Naori's concerned look she felt she could say everything to her. She felt Naori will believe her. So she put a barrier around them with shaking hands so other than two of them anyone can't hear what she is going to say. 

"Grandma," she called her with a shaking voice though she try to gain her composure again. "When I awaken mangekyou sharingan I saw something. Something terrible."

Naori didn't say anything as she let her to continue what she is going to say. But the thing she said next made her expression froze. 

"I saw my previous life. And something I saw when I was born. I saw my whole previous lifetime." She looked at her grandma with an insecured gaze. But to her surprise other than frozen expressions for a moment she gaze was still the same.
