Ai is a student at the academy and one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan. Her relationship with her brother is not necessarily what you will consider sibling-friendly. Things seem to be going well for her. However, when her other broth...
Five years later, after Ai has been enrolled in the Academy
She quickly leaps from one rooftop to another, straining to hear the distant chimes of the bell.
"I slept in again," she thinks. She sighs, "If only Sasuke were here and not on some mission,". "At least I remembered to give Haru breakfast this time,"
Finally, she makes it to the Academy. Facing her classroom door, she takes a moment to breathe. She gently opens the door, trying to go unnoticed but a voice calls her out.
"You're late," the voice says.
Fully opening the door, she sees all eyes on her. Iruka's sharp glare makes her feel nervous.

Iruka sighs, "Take your seat and open your textbook to page 31."

Ai glares at him and he looks at her with an innocent face.
She takes out her notebook and pencil, flipping through the doodled pages, and eventually finds an empty one. Thinking of what to draw, she taps her pencil on the notebook while staring blankly at the page. Soon, her mind drifted away, and she started daydreaming about Sasuke and the potential dangers he might be facing. Seconds later, she snaps back to reality. Upon looking at her notebook, she discovers a disturbing drawing of Sasuke, his body lying in a pool of blood with a blade impaled in his chest. Taken aback, she stares at the sketch, realizing something about it seems familiar.
"I've seen this before, but how?" she mutters, a bit uneasy. She ponders for a moment but can't recall the reason.
A bit frightened, she quickly erases it and pays attention to the lesson.
Time slowly and painfully passed for Ai until the final bell rang.
"Hey Ai, wanna come to my place to spar? Ryuk's coming." Hanabi asks her
"How about tomorrow? On the weekend!" Ai suggests
"Alright, see you tomorrow!." Hanabi replies
Ai walks away, waving them goodbye, and they wave her back.
