It was a big, big world and we thought we were bigger. Konoha was only a small part of it, and the Uchiha Compound even less. I was never the pride of our family. I couldn't match up to either my big brother or my twin. I always aspired to be like them, and to become a Kunoichi that my father could be proud of. Once I was 7 years old, my elder brother took the lives of our clan and fled into the night, leaving only my twin and I left. I am the last female Uchiha, and I don't want our legacy to die here. I don't want to be the pathetic, invisible weakling forever - the girl who's afraid of her own voice. So I'll keep going forward. I'll find my voice again some day, and I'll catch up to my brothers. I am Akemi Uchiha, and I will make my dream a reality. [Eventual Gaara x OC] [Shipping starts during Sasuke Retrieval Arc]
