This is the prestigious Uchiha Manor. The former Tsuchikage, Jade Uchiha's parent's reside here, along with her younger brother. The house is a sight to behold, with items from many past times. There are absolutely no pictures of Jade's childhood, though the do have a retired Konoha headband. There are many finely furnished rooms as well as a large backyard. There is a garden with many exotic flowers, and a large field fit for training. The house holds many scrolls holding information, as well as hidden secrets.

Mizax slowly shuffled about the confines of his closed room, running over nonsensical things about being a ninja. It wasn't particularly his fault, since he was inexperienced, but some of the stuff he thought of just didn't make sense. Even his parents thought some ideas were weird, especially the path he seemed to choose when they asked. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be unique, and few chose the path that he did, at least he thought so. Mizax didn't know many people that were like him, wanting to be a taijutsu, and a medical expert.
"Surely it can't be hard." He announced suddenly, sliding into a sitting position atop his folded futon. "It'll just mean I'm a more adept taijutsu user, since I can use the expert chakra control to do awesome stuff." He paused for a moment, thinking on the matter thoroughly while sliding his hand across his chin into a thinking position. There was another problem, and that was his eyes. He had been training a lot lately, most for the reason of trying to gain his. It was disappointing that he hadn't had it already, but that would change soon enough when he actually became a ninja.
Mizax let out a sigh and fell back against the folded futon, his limbs outstretched to give him the likeness of a starfish in a certain view. His eyes were pointed directly at the ceiling, his mind being momentarily lost in thought.

Jade approached the house from afar, seeing lights on inside. She silently cursed Kami, because she hadn't expected to see her parents here. Jade breathed deeply, stabilizing her minor anxiety attack. Her white hair swished in the breeze as she moved closer, trying to get an angle where she could see. Jade had to go through with this now, it was too late to turn back.
Her footfalls barely made a sound as she crossed the garden, and hopped up onto the porch. Her mistake. The porch gave a loud creak, and Jade darted off to another side, trying to shorten the noise. Jade could feel her heartbeat in her ears, and could feel every movement that happened around her. This was going to be harder than any S-Ranked Mission; ever.
Jade's hand reached out to the sliding door, and she slowly pushed it open. Thank Kami that didn't creak. Jade slipped in, and shut the door behind her with a tiny click. Her eyes scanned the room, and her stress rose even more. Unconsciously, her sharingan activated. Blood-red eyes peered out through the darkness, only a few splotches of black mixed in with them. Jade crept through the house, skillfully avoiding obstacles. She couldn't hear anything, as no one was making noise.

The loud creak of one of the floorboards in the entirety of the house startled Mizax, rousing him from his half-sleeping state. He had been drifting slowly into the world of dreams and infinite possibilities, not even realizing it until his attention snapped back into reality. At first, he attempted to shrug off the noise as one of his parents wandering about. However, the memory of them speaking to him, telling that they would be gone for at least two days cast the gesture away. His mind was now alert and cautious, frantically milling over on ideas of what to do. This had never happened before! He wasn't even prepared since he didn't have his sharingan.
With as much stealth as he could muster, Mizax jumped onto his feet and crept to the sliding door of his room, gently pushing it aside. Out of inexperienced foolishness, he stuck his head out into the darkness without having his eyes fully adjusted, peering around in an attempt to spot anything. Nothing came to view, and he resorted to another stupid idea. After all, what shinobi would kill a defenseless civilian? That's all he was for now, since being an Academy Student didn't mean anything at all.
"Hello?" Mizax shouted, his voice passing through the many rooms and halls of the estate. Surely the person that had supposedly trespassed would hear, and track the noise to its source. For now, he would wait, sliding the door back into place and returning to his futon, sitting down upon it gently. Surely no one would kill an academy student, he assured himself.

Jade froze in place as she heard another sliding door open, and to her surprise, someone actually stuck their head out, and said 'Hello?'. Jade furrowed her eyebrows. That certainly wasn't her parents' voices, not even close. Someone must be breaking in while they were out. This angered Jade, much to her surprise. Her hand reached to her thigh, grasping the cold metal.
Jade unsheathed a kunai, allowing the threatening sliding noise to emit from it. She crept to the door that the person had stupidly spoke out of, and grasped the edge. Jade took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling as she did so.Jade threw the door opened, not bothering to check if she had smashed it against the wood. She darted forth, using whatever light there was to locate her target, as well as the Sharingan. Blood-red eyes flashed as she launched herself at Mizax, trying to pin him down and press the kunai to his neck. What the hell are you doing here!? Jade shouted as she lept at him. Her speed would allow her to perform all of this quite easily, and at a fast pace.

Mizax froze when he heard the sound of metal sliding against another solid material, his heart following suit in the action. He had really done a stupid thing, and probably wouldn't live another day if he didn't talk himself out of it. While thinking over the situation, someone opened the sliding door and bolted in the room, charging directly for him. Consumed by inexperience and newbie thinking, he let out a yelp of surprise and was knocked back by the person, pinned against the futon he had sat down upon. The chilling feeling of a cold, metal edge pressed against his neck made his heart sink.
However things turned out, he was confused. The person, now obviously female by the voice, was asking him what he was doing here. This was his house, so who was this lady who questioned his right to be here. "No, what the hell are you doing here, you crazy lady! This is my parents house!" Mizax shouted back, angered, and frightened at the same time.

Jade's furious gaze faltered as Mizax spoke. "What the hell?" was all she could think of to say. She did not remove the kunai from his neck, though her hand was steady. Her mind reeled, no way her crabby parents ever had another child, it was a miracle they even had one in the first place! The air was quite tensed as she was over him, ready to move if necessary. The man...no boy in front of her looked quite young, but it seemed he was taller than she. Her red eyes peered down at him, the sharingan adding to the glare.
Jade cleared her throat before speaking, feeling genuinely awkward. There was no way Kami would curse another child to have parents such as hers. "That's not...No, this is my parents house. What is your name?" This moment was so puzzling, Jade actually released Mizax, removed the kunai, and slipped it back into its holster. She still kept a watchful eye on him, but deemed him too inexperienced to actually cause her harm.

What the hell? What is she, insane? There's no way this woman is related to the village, or his parents, maybe she had the wrong house. Yes, that's definitely it, this woman walked into the wrong house and was questioning his being her. Now all he had to do was...
"Wait- what? Your parents? Who-" Mizax was cut off buy another question. "Mizax Uchiha, drop the latter, don't like it." He replied, shooting up back into his original position and brings his hand to his neck, rubbing it lightly. Never before had he been so close to an actual death, unless of course you count what happens when his parents push him. One of the names that he was milling over earlier popped into his head. "Are you Jade?"

Jade narrowed her eyes at Mizax, wondering how he knew who she was. There weren't any pictures that she had seen of her, and she doubted her parents conversated about her. Jade let out a slight laugh, realizing he did as she had when she was younger.
"If I am Jade, what's it to yah?" There was still the chance that another Uchiha was jealous of her parents, and wished to steal the family secrets or items. Obviously, Jade was willing to think of anything to deny the truth; Her parents had another child. The sharingan deactivated now that Jade had cooled, well atleast was no longer angry. She was actually on the verge of frantic.

"Well, mom and dad mentioned your name when they thought I wasn't around, saying; 'If only he were like her' and stuff. So, thinking with a somewhat clear head, you're my sister?" The thought of having a sibling surprising him, since even if they conversed of a prodigious woman, it could be a distant relative. But a direct one, that sounded crazy. His heterochromia hues clearly showed surprise, the left being blue, the other green. Surely she would take notice soon, despite the lighting.

Jade listened to his story, now noticing his different colored eyes. She stepped back to the wall, leaning against it as she thought. *There's no avoiding it...he is my little brother...* Jade snorted at his statement. "Like me? Hah! There is no way we are talking about the same people, my parents disinherited me, no way they'd want you to be like me!" Jade cursed a bit, mumbling incoherencies as she attempted to find a light. After a bit of stumbling and more cursing, she finally found one, and turned it one.
Her golden eyes lit up with the light, an unusual color. Jade wasn't going to mention his eyes, it'd be rude to anyway. Her white hair cascaded down her back. despite being tied up. She had an array of weapons under her robes, which were black with red clouds upon them. If Mizax stood up, he might notice he was actually 6 inches taller than Jade, who was tiny for her age. "Aye, I suppose I am your sister. Tell me, how old are you?" If his age matched up with the age she left, this would all make sense to her.

"Well... I didn't know about that. All that I caught from the scraps were what I told you. It seemed they admired your prodigious progress." Had they really disinherited her? Was that why they never talked about her when he was around? So then, she was the reason for their malice towards his average progress. No matter, it wasn't entirely her fault, there aren't geniuses in every generation. When the lights turned on, he was allowed to get a better look at his apparent sister.
At first glance, the only thing anyone would notice was the robe that she wore about herself. It was pitch black, littered with red clouds in a way that seemed to hold no pattern. And then, if anyone bothered to study more, the gold hues that stood out from the unique white hair. Looks like I'm not the only one that has some unique feature, he thought. A light shake of his head allowed him to return just before the question. "I'm thirteen."

Jade pursed her lips. Yep, he was definitely her little brother. "Ah, when I became Tsuchikage they decided I was worthy." She was practically talking to herself. It hadn't occurred to her that one of her lineage wasn't adept at being a Shinobi, it was in their blood. "Where is Mom and Dad anyway?" Jade allowed her eyes to check out Mizax, she studied him hard.
Jade came to the conclusion that he looked nothing at all like her, though their personalities were somewhat the same. Perhaps with proper tutelage, Mizax could be great. She was sure of it. "If Mom and Dad train you like how they trained me..." Again, speaking to herself outloud. "Do you possess the sharingan?"

Mizax let out a sigh, averting his gaze to the open door, which was apparently ruined now. "They went off somewhere for two days, today being the first of them. They do it a lot, and don't explain why." It was bound to happen, since their disappointment in him, was probably more than they ever had towards Jade. He gave a slight nod to her monologue, giving an unasked for answer. The only thing that really stung in her words, was the last question. "No... My sharingan is still dormant."

Jade recognized shame anywhere, seeing as how it was her best friend at times. She gave a soft smile, something her parents were not capable of. "That does not mean you cannot awaken it." That may have sounded like a threat, but Jade wasn't going to go back on her words. Jade had been pushed to the sharingan, having to endure month after month of rigorous training. She almost shuddered at the thought.
Jade pondered the idea that was in her head. She had the ability to take him under her wing, but he was still so young and innocent. Her journey was a Martyr's path, one she was sure she wouldn't come out alive from. Jade couldn't bring herself to take him away from safety, atleast he wasn't disinherited.
She gave a sigh of uncertainty, and faced Mizax. He wouldn't get anywhere with the way their parents taught. "Look, are you happy here?" Jade said as she put her hands on her hips. She immediately dropped them, and began to pace.
