Toshiko Uzumaki
D-rank
Toshiko was dedicated. after 6 years of being bullied, tortured, and abused by his classmates, and his own father, Toshiko decided that he was going to achieve his goals in life. He had told everyone that he was going to become the hokage, and as determined he was there was nothing that was going to stop him from doing so. With all of the bad things that had happened to him in life, he had to make room for the good. No matter how hard it seemed, Toshiko swore that he would get it done. He woke up in the morning, laying on a mattress in his empty home provided to him by his teacher. He looked around, and then sat up in bed. After a few moments, he realized, and remembered. It was the day. The day it happened. The day he lost his mother, and his whole life changed forever. He looked down, grimacing as the memories went flowing through his head. He went up to the door of his home as a child after a terrible day at school, and opened it to find his mother laying on the ground covered in her own blood with a deep gash in her back. She didn't ask for help, she didn't scream, nor did she cry. She simply told Toshiko to run, and that she loved him. After that, Toshiko's father appeared, but he didn't help. He simply came to deliver the final blow. After doing so, Toshiko thought that he was next on the list. Instead, his father simply walked away. Toshiko still didn't understand any of it, and the memory brought great pain to his head and chest. Why had his father done it? Neither of them showed any indication towards the fact that they were fighting not once in Toshiko's life. Even if they were fighting, why would he have to kill her? Why was his mother seemingly unaware or unwilling to fight for her life? The simple thought of the matter brought tears to Toshiko's eyes. "It doesn't matter. I have to go pay my respects to her right now." Toshiko then got from his bed, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put on his daily ninja gear. After doing so, he grabbed a rose from his kitchen counter, and walked out of the house. There was still about thirty minutes before he would have to attend the ninja academy. Eventually, he came upon the graveyard. Walking around in the place simply gave him shivers as he hated to be around the dead. Toshiko walked up to his mothers grave, and then got down on both knees and placed the rose there. Toshiko looked at the ground, and gave a slight smile. "Mom.......Thank you for everything that you've done for me."
Toshiko stared up at her grave stone. He missed her more than anything else in the world. He didn't have anything to remember her by. He wasn't gonna stand for that. He had to go back. Toshiko stared at her grave stone for a bit longer, and then ran. He ran out towards the other side of Konoha, with one place in his mind. He didn't stop running for anyone or anything. Eventually, he came upon his destination. It was a large house upon the outskirts of konoha. Previously known as his home. Memories started flooding Toshiko's mind once he saw the home after a total of 8 years. Tears filled his eyes as his very life flashed before his eyes. Cautiously, he walked forward towards the steps. Coming up he remembered that day, 8 years ago. Walking up to the steps. He grabbed the door knob, and it cracked wide open as it had last time. Toshiko closed his eyes, looking slowly expecting to see his bloodied mother upon the ground once more. He opened them fully, and no one was there he calmed down a bit, but nothing could deplete the amount of trauma that he had endured that day. Toshiko walked in further, taking a look around it. He remembered when he was a child, and he'd run around and play with his mother and father. Toshiko slowly walked further into the house, entering his parent's room.
It looked the same as it always had. There was a picture of him and his parents hanging above their bed. His father looked sort of distressed, and his mother was hugging him. Toshiko lost it at that point. He bent down next to the bed, and put his head in the blanket as he started to cry. he wanted to just enjoy his mother and the memories of the wonderful times that they had together, but every time that he tried to he would just realize that she was gone, and that she was never coming back. No matter what he did, nothing would ever change that. He couldn't bring back the dead. To his knowledge no one could. That feeling reminded Toshiko that while he had friends, he didn't have family. No one he knew had gone through that. He felt completely alone. Toshiko stopped his crying after a bit, and then turned his head to the left. His head connected with the sharp side of a counter besides the bed which started to rattle. It slightly cut the side of Toshiko's head, and he moved back a bit. A roll of paper rolled off of the counter, and fell down to the ground. Toshiko bent over, picked it up and read the cover to see that it had said his name on it.
Toshiko opened it up, and started reading.:
Dear Toshiko, hopefully you are reading this when i have passed. I am sorry that i never caught up the nerve to tell you this, but i can't keep you from the truth any longer. Just know that i love you. I love you more than life itself, and i didn't mean to hurt you by not telling you this. After me and your father had you, we were facing some financial issues. I loved you too much to let anything happen to you, so we spent our last dime on you. Then, a year later...............We had your brother.
.............What? Toshiko's heart stopped for a few moments, and some strange feeling came over him as if there were 6 tons upon his shoulders. He had a brother? What? There were so many questions filling his head. He didn't know. He wanted to feel over joyed, but also felt a large amount of anger and sadness. Why did she keep this from him? Where was his brother now? He had to keep reading.
His name is Hideki. Hideki Uzumaki. He was born healthy.....Except he had two strange things about him. He couldn't feel anything. He was born with some strange disease, and we couldn't get him cured. No one could. We didn't have the financial support to take care of him, and we just had to give him away. I felt bad about it. I really really did. But that doesn't change how much i love you. I know that you are going to want to find him, wherever he is. Take not of this. On his right shoulder, he has a crescent moon shaped birthmark. I hope that you get to read this. Remember, i love you. Whether it's in this life or the next, you'll always be my son and one of the greatest things to happen to me.
Toshiko finished reading the letter, and initially didn't know how to react. He had a brother. A brother. He wasn't alone. Not anymore. He had to go find him. No matter what it took. Toshiko clenched the letter in his palm, and then stared up at the portrait above him focusing solely on his mother. "Thank you mother." Toshiko then ran out of the house, back into the town. He had a goal. Find his little brother, and never ever lose him again. Toshiko made it into the town, and didn't really know how to start looking. He came up to random people in the street, asking if their name was Hideki and started pulling up their sleeves to see if they had any birthmark. After checking several others (and getting into fights with them) He didn't find anyone that fitted the description. Eventually, Toshiko wanted to give up. He made his way to the ice cream shop, and then sat down. After he got his ice cream, he sat there for a bit. The store owner came over to him. "What's wrong Toshiko?"
Toshiko sighed. Did he really want to tell anyone? He should just keep it to himself, but he always felt a need to express his emotions. "I.....I just found out i have a brother named HIdeki Uzumaki. I've been looking for him all day, but i can't seem to find him." The store owner looked at Toshiko in shock, and then held his head down. did he know something? "Toshiko........Hideki Uzumaki died in a assassination attack years ago." Toshiko stared at the man in disbelief. He got that feeling again. His heart stopped for a few moments and the weight was put back on his shoulders ten times worse than before. There was nothing else out there for him. He was alone once again. Toshiko dropped his ice cream. There was a bottle of Sake on the counter. Toshiko didn't care anymore. He grabbed the bottle off of the counter, and ran out of the store at top speed. He stopped at a corner a few blocks away from the store, and sunk down the ground. Night had fallen, and the streets were completely empty. Toshiko cried. He just cried. After a while, he took the cap off of the bottle, and started to chug it. He finished it, and his inebriation began.
