Strangers.

Mikoto woke Kyouske up the next day as he was mentally and physically tired, Kyouske after waking up said " Mother, I've bought something for you " then from a sealing scroll he took out a beautiful red necklace.

Mikoto seeing this hugged her child, she knows how tough it was for him to kill a bunch of ninjas for the first time.

Kyouske hugging his mother cried a lot. Then after she wore the necklace they went towards the dining room.

Kyouske seeing Sasuke smiled and said " Sasuke here I've bought some presents for you" then he took out some toys he purchased from Land of Earth.

Sasuke grabbed the toys broke them with one hand and said " Do I look like a child? I can hold kunai and Shuriken"

Seeing this Kyouske's eye got a little moist but he smiled and said " I am sorry" then didn't talk with him anymore.

Mikoto seeing this frowned and said " Sasuke bad manners, Your brother bring this back from " before she could finish her words Sasuke saw Itachi and ran towards him.

Kyouske smiled at his mother and said " Mother, as expected nobody can beat you in cooking"

Mikoto seeing this smiled and said " stop flattering, alright Itachi, Sasuke come eat "

After finishing their breakfast Kyouske did some light Shuriken practice alone as Itachi was with Sasuke and he didn't want to ruin Sasuke's mood.

Kyouske then went back and went to Mikoto.

Mikoto seeing her child asked, " What happened?"

Kyouske touching his hair said " Mother, I want them short "

Mikoto smiled and said " Alright, sit down" then she with a scissor cut his hair short, his hair was not spiky like other Uchiha his hair was beautiful and silky.

Then Mikoto took him into the bath and washed him good, dolled him up with White pants, a red shirt, and black thigh-length haori with the Uchiha logo on its back.

Seeing him Mikoto touched his cheeks with both hands and said " You look like a boy now " then cast a disappointed sigh.

Kyouske asked, " Do I look that bad mother?"

Mikoto shaking her head said " No, You're the cutest boy mother has ever seen, But your previous look was so good" then she thought ' ah! my little girl has turned into a boy '

As Kyouske was very tiny his mother was kneeling in front of him to hold his cheeks.

Kyouske said " Alright mother, I'll go visit some friends"

Mikoto smiled and stood up then teased him a little saying " Friend? I heard it was a girlfriend"

Kyouske runaway with a little embarrassed face.

Mikoto seeing her child embarrassed smiled, as Itachi and Sasuke didn't like to spend time with her because they always wanted to train and become strong. Itachi was burdened with clan's responsibility.

Kyouske while running towards the village felt someone behind his back and then smiled as it was the same guard from before, Sasuke and Kyouske both have shadow guards when they leave their clan perimeters.

Kyouske entered the village with his new look, many little girls were casting a glance at him but he didn't even bother to look at them.

He directly went towards a flower shop, but before he could take the last turn he saw an old man coming towards him, he wanted to walk past him but the old man grabbed his hand very gently. Kyouske was a little confused because he thought he have seen this old man before.

Kyouske asked, " What do you want Grandpa?"

That man smiled and said, " You're Fugaku's little son aren't you?"

Kyouske nodded his head and said " Yes, I am, my name is Kyouske "

That old man smiled and releasing his hand walked with him and continued " Your elder brother Itachi visits the village with Sasuke, your twin, without you, don't you feel jealous?"

Kyouske shaking his head said " No, Sasuke feels at ease with the Elder brother, I do the same with my mother "

The old man smiled kindly and said " So Mikoto spend more time with you? good very good"

Kyouske seeing the gentle white-clothed old man, he took out sealing scroll from his belt and summoned a packet of sweet chips then gave him saying " This was a gift from someone but I'll give you this grandpa "

The old man taking the packet of chip's said " Oh? It's from the Land of Earth, It's very tasty " then opened the packet to eat.

Kyouske smiled and nodded then said, " I've reached my destination grandpa " stopping in Infront of the Yamanaka flower shop.

The old man seeing the shop tilted his head while eating the chips then as if realization hit him, he laughed and said " You're here for Inoichi's daughter? "

Kyouske blushed a little but nodded his head.

The old man seeing this laughed again more loudly then said " Good choice brat ahahaha "

Kyouske with a little embarrassed face and a little angry face said " Go away now, old man " then tried to push the old man gently but the old man was laughing and eating chips, he didn't budge at all.

Kyouske was getting flustered by the minute, Mrs.Yamanaka came out of her shop and greeted saying " Good morning Lord Hogake"

Kyouske's body and mind froze as he realized who this man was.

Hokage laughingly said " This young man has come to meet with your daughter" pointing at Kyouske then vanished.

Mrs.Yamanaka smiled at Kyouske then she looked closely and said " You're looking very cute Kyouske kun with your hair short "

Kyouske with a shy face thanked her but couldn't find the courage after Hokage's banter to ask where Ino was.

Mrs.Yamanaka squeezing his cheek gently with her hand said " She's in the garden"

Kyouske runway as fast as he can.

Then he appeared in the garden but there were lots of children playing, some girls wanted to talk with him but he ignored them as if they didn't even exist.

Then as he was walking, he saw a girl, she was alone standing, what attracted him was her eyes they were white. She was the same age as him or a little younger and like him, she also wore clothes that looked expensive.

Kyouske with a smile approached her and said " Hi, my name is Kyouske" then put out his hand.

The girl in question blushed but seeing his bright smile she nodded very shyly.

Then a man appeared out of nowhere with the same kind of eyes as her, with a little hostility said to Kyouske " She is Hyuga Clan's future Heiress"

Kyouske tilted his head because he was a little confused about Hyuga Clan.

Kyouske shaking his head said " Just wanted to be friends with her that's all"

That man squinting eyes said " Not just anybody can be friends with her "

Before Kyouske could say something his bodyguard appeared with 2 tomoe Sharingan eyes and said " You can't insult our Lord's child, Know your place, Hyuga is the second Clan and can't compare with us"

That little girl's guard gritted his teeth in anger.

Kyouske seeing the atmosphere was bad said "Alright, let's go "

Kyouske walked away from them and his guard also disappeared. Kyouske remembering the girl's face thought ' I just wanted to ask about her eyes' then proceeded towards the river that is connected with the garden.

Kyouske while walking saw many children, one catches his attention, this was a boy who was also alone like that girl but he didn't bother with him because of the earlier incident.

Kyouske while walking saw an orange color clothed, short blonde haired girl, he smiled, she was in the middle of many girls like a main flower of a bouquet.
