Isuke Uchiha: Tales of an Uchiha Heir

Chapter 5: Hidden Rain Village (Part 1)

Before Hideyoshi became the head of the village, this woman radiated extreme beauty, elegance, light, and was desired by those around her, but she only had eyes for her husband; a man that bravely lost his life being the bodyguard of Lord Hideyoshi. Once she became a widow, Hideyoshi began to harass and to tarnish the woman's reputation in the village, making her life impossible until she accepts to marry him and become his wife. With no way out of the village, with no family or friends to support her. Everyone in the village had turned their backs on her, the woman had no other choice but to do whatever she could so that her and her child could live another day.

A sinister smirk appears on Hideyoshi's face as he looks down on the wailing woman. "I'm afraid that I can't do that, Homura... however, if you finally accept to marry me once and for all perhaps your life and your child's could take a turn for the better." Hideyoshi bends one knee and lifts the woman's chin with his finger. The light that once radiated from the amber colored eyes was now long gone and even he could tell. Nonetheless he wasn't going to stop until he gets what he wants.

"A pretty flower like you deserves to be treated like only I know to... all you have to do is say yes to me and this nightmare you and your child have been under will disappear in a blink of an eye."

Homura stared blankly into Hideyoshi's eyes in disbelief.

"You're a disgusting monster Lord Hideyoshi!" She says angrily as she stands up with her child that now began to cry. "How can you be so cruel? My child has nothing to do with this, yet you choose not to spare her so that I may change my mind and accept you as a husband?" The woman could barely stand strong but her tone was as sharp as a sword made by the Gods. "Then listen to me clearly! I, Homura Fukuyama, will not even accept you as a man for as long as I live!" The woman then turns around and begins to walk away.

Hideyoshi begins to laugh, "Then the fate of your child is sealed, may she Rest In Peace when the time comes!" He shouted.

Homura ignored the words of Hideyoshi and continued to walk away while holding her crying child tightly as the rain poured on them. "Don't worry Hinami, mom will find a way to help you get better." Tears began to fall down her cheeks as a strong feeling of sadness pierced her heart and throat. "I promise I won't let you down." She reassured to her crying child.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenzō and Itachi have been walking around the Hidden Rain Village for the past two hours with little to no information on who was now in charge of the village. Everywhere they went to was heavily guarded by shinobi of the village which caused the two boys to be extra careful of who and where to ask.

"We can't just leave this place with just the name of the leader of this village, I'm sure there must be someone who is able to give us more information without risking ourselves further." Kenzō says as they walked by long abandoned alley.

"I agree, let's keep searching around... if we don't find anything else during the next hour we get back to the others and report what we have at the very least." Itachi replies.

As the two walked forward a woman holding a child at the distance catches their sight as the woman falls to the ground with its child.

The two rush towards the woman and the now crying child. "Hey, are you ok?" Itachi asks as he tries to help the woman get up.

"Get away from me!" The woman yells. Her eyes suddenly open wide in reaction as she notices the two boys. "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." She confessed, her child's crying ceased.

Itachi looks at the woman, it was clear that she was poor, her clothing was long worn but that wasn't what caught his attention. "You're injured, can I treat it?" Itachi asks as he looks at her ankle.

"You're a medical ninja?" The woman drops to her knees, while holding the head of her child. "Please, treat my child, I will do anything if you help my child." She pleaded.

"Of course, I will see how I can help, but please stand up." Itachi said, anxious by the woman's actions while Kenzō prayed in his mind that it didn't draw anyones attention to them.

Once they arrive to her house Homura lays Hinami on the bed and drys her with a towel.

"May I?" Itachi asks.

Homura nods as she takes a step back to allow Itachi to treat Hanami.

Itachi carefully inspects Hinami who was now quietly staring at him. "Can you get me a bowl of water?" He asks Homura.

She nods in response before walking out of the room.

Kenzō crosses his arms as he keeps staring at Itachi, "are you sure you're able to do this?"

Itachi turns his head towards Kenzō and smiles at him for the first time. "If I wasn't able to I wouldn't even consider myself a medical ninja."

It was the first time that Itachi had ever smiled at anyone in a while let alone at Kenzō.

Homura comes back with a bowl of water and places it by the nightstand, "Will this do?"

Itachi nods, "This will do just fine." He says as he begins to wave signs before placing his right hand on the bowl of water.

Ninja Art: Delicate Illness Extraction

The water attaches to Itachi's hand, making a shape of a sphere. He slowly drags the sphere of water towards Hanami's body. He look at Homura, "This May sting a little so please make sure to keep the child from doing abruptly moving." He says.

Kenzō and Homura assist Itachi by restraining the child's limbs with their hands.

"Okay, I will now begin." With that said, Itachi begins to slowly insert the water inside of Hinami's body.

Hinami begins to cry as she begins to feel the stingy sensation of the water moving inside her body.

"The illness was about to make contact with her vital organs, thankfully we're taking action on it just in time. Otherwise she would had days left at most." Itachi said bluntly.

Tears began to fall from Homura's cheeks "thank you so much!"

Itachi continued to extract the illness until he was sure that the virus was fully extracted from Hinami's body before slowly taking the water with the virus out of her body.

"It's done, now you have to make sure that she gets enough rest so try not expose her too much for the time being." He says.

"I am forever in your debt, if there's anyway that I could help you please let me know."

Kenzō gets closer to the two, "actually there might be... would you be willing to answer some questions for us?" He asks.

Homura blankly stares at the two before coming back to her senses, "sure, please ask away." She smiles at them.
