Uchiha Hiryur

For early years refer to this: https://jo2.fandom.com/wiki/Uchiha\_Hiryur

The only differences being: very proficient gen and a scar going through his left eye

For “on-screen” time some of you know, but if you don’t a quick rundown of the most notable events that happened:

* fight against 3 tails
* fight against 5 tails
* fight against an OP asf rogue

This takes part after Hiryur’s leave from Konohagakure (left as a Special Jounin) and his very long absence from it. (at least those who knew him would be able to tell)

**Transitionary period**

An assignment outside was all that was needed to propel the already wavering Uchiha off the path he has been pursuing until now with him. And with all of the events that happened, it didn’t take too much thought for him to leave the village in search of his place in the world.

The 17-year-old fellow’s journey was a long and arduous one. It started with him visiting his auntie and uncle, only to then head off into the mountains to the swordmasters who taught him balance and the Shadow Splitting Sword technique. Nonetheless, the young but experienced Uchiha still knew that at the end of the day something was off, and his search for answers was an unsuccessful one. For some odd reason fate would have it that the Uchiha anytime he settled with anyone or anything for an extended time, Ryuu-sama (according to his beliefs) promptly sent a curveball that put in question everything he thought he knew.

It was the most unlikely of events that would completely change the way Hiryur believed to be the right one to walk, as on his slow but steady travel pace he’d bump into a group of Suna nin. Quite an unfriendly one at that, but not like he’d mind it that much. After all, he was quite used to dealing with scum and wouldn’t make that much of it, keeping his cool even if gradually they kept pissing him off even more with ridiculous toll requests and attempted theft of his weapon. However, these attempts were quite futile as Hiryur didn’t even have to try particularly hard to evade their tries with speed uncharacteristic of any common traveller.

“Now you’ve done it!” said the leader of the Suna nin. “We’ll have fun with you once you stop putting up resistance!” a subordinate of his would spit out and laugh wickedly straight after.

\*A soft sigh would leave Hiryur’s mouth as he patiently stood there, seemingly frozen out of what his perpetrators would believe to be fear. It was the last mistake of this sort any of them would ever make.\*

A loud cling would fill the air before the fight ensued, his 3 Tomoe Sharingan spinning violently as he’d reveal his cards one after another. Just when they thought they had him figured out something unexpected would happen. Whether it be prominent genjutsu, or quite a confident grasp over elements there just seemed to be little way to adapt before the Uchiha got an advantage. It however came as a severe shock to the shinobi that he wasn’t fighting to kill. Once he was properly defended with the leader and the mouthing off subordinate exhausted and about to die to him he’d do the most unexpected; he promised to help them get back to Wind provided they wouldn’t attack him any further and explain their reasoning.

It wasn’t too unreasonable to confuse him with a skilled but compassionate warrior who simply outmatched his opposition, but knew little of attrition and deception tactics. Which resulted in a meekly failed assassination attempt after the rest of the afternoon spent questioning and later granting first aid to the best of his capabilities. For how disappointed he was he didn’t bear any real resentment towards any of them as at the very least they never even pretended to be his friends. The boy knew much of betrayal and even if it threatened his life this crude honesty of intent was something that he couldn’t easily condemn. Not like it didn’t warrant a proper response from him though. After all, he was just to the core firmly believing that actions have consequences. Still, no lethal casualties as he’d travel along with them, sharing his decently mature although still rather idealistic views and beliefs with them. Scoffing at their inefficiency and their devotion to affairs that had nothing to do with a mission or any sort of real threat. No moral lectures though shockingly.

*Not like the idyll would last for long though, because as soon as they reached the post with Hiryur explaining what happened would warrant him a severe bonk on the head yeeting the Uchiha into a state of unconscious. Ouch.*

**A strong statement leading to a new life**

In the history of Hiryur’s awakenings, this was by far the most brutal he’s ever had, and that was saying something with him living in the wild and fearing for his life during sleep.

“You will be executed and made an example of, for your actions were \*yawn\* yada yada yada. Let’s just get the inevitable out of the way shall we” the nin would grin viciously signalling the executioner to make his move.

The sword was being dragged by him as he menacingly made his way to the half-awoken and defenseless Uchiha.

“Any last words? Need a blindfold kiddo?!” he’d tease and joke cruelly while the crowd cheered for his demise. For how constricted his movements were on the scaffolding, Hiryur would have no fear as he decisively snapped in an echoing and powerful tone for his age: “Shut your gab and get it over with fatso. While I’m still constrained so I can’t show you how you’d suffer after failing…”. Particular words would echo even amidst the wind and ever-shifting sands, the entire village single-handedly silenced.

It would appear as if everything froze for a moment, with everyone struggling to understand how such strong will and determination that was associated mainly with inhabitants of the desert’s sands was called forthright by… a teenager?

A laugh of a woman piercing through the air, the Sand nin in question remarking quite amused: “Such a waste, when he could provide entertainment on the arena. Sure to be crushed by our expert shinobi in no time. Hmmm?” she’d throw into the crowd. Granted it didn’t happen immediately, but eventually a continuous chant of “Trial by combat! Trial by combat!” would be issued, the institution saving the Uchiha’s life.

And it was after all of the fighting was done that the Uchiha despite numerous reservations was admitted into the Sand Academy. With it not taking too long for those who wished him the worst to manifest themselves, humiliation after humiliation of them following suit after he established his dominance over his opponent.

It was his new path; a Konoha nin turned Suna by accident and without too much thought put into it. Throwing him right into the cyclone of what would likely happen to be the most interesting of adventures as he now was aware of life on 3 ends of the spectrum rather than two. With the only constant being his personality and sense of integrity.
