Uchiha Susumu
D-rank
Surrounded by many trees that defined the forest located within the Konohagakure borders was a river that calmly flowed through the area. This is the land of the Uchiha; solely for their own purposes. A reflection of a young individual was seen in the clear waters, but the bottom of it couldn't be seen. Every now and then you could spot a fish jump up and disappear back into the water to swim along with its stream. The figure standing next to the river was one that wanted to go back to his roots, even if for just brief moment. It was Susumu; the seven year old that was travelling places alone, without someone to watch his back. Many animals lived inside of the area, but none of them were hostile. Susumu looked from left to right; no one was here. It was to be expected, perhaps there were no Uchiha around in this village, anymore, or just no one wanted to tread on their territory. He figured that he needed some kind of food to keep himself going, that's the reason he was looking down at the river and focusing his mind, completely keeping every fish within his field of vision. The moment the next fish jumped up, he reached out with both hands and attempted to grab ahold of the fish, which immediately slipped out of his hands. In a quick second attempt he tried to grab ahold of it once more, with some difficulty to get a good grip on it, but he still managed to get it onto dry land, securing his own food, now that the fish had nowhere to go. He was just splashing, trying to move himself back into the water but was sliced open by Susumu before he even had the chance.
In a few moments after the fish had been captured, a small campfire had been made from the wood that he noticed lying around. It was time to cook his well-earned food. His expression was emotionless during the entire process, not feeling any regret, even though it was a life that he just took away, even if it was just the life of a mere fish. Once cooked, he took a few big bites before it had completely disappeared. His stomach was just slightly filled, not thinking that the fish would be enough to get through the day. He needed to capture something big. With that in mind, he ventured into the forest, looking for some more food. The memories that he had of his father seemed to have disappeared, or at least left his mind temporarily. The last time that he had the memories, he reached emotional heights that he never wanted to reach again and turned off his emotion to prevent that from happening. The only thing in his vision at the moment were his goals. He needed to move his plans soon, but first, he needed to become stronger and of course, fill the hole of hunger in his stomach.
