Kaigara Uchiha

うちは貝殻

**Kaigara Uchiha** (*うちは貝殻, Uchiha Kaigara*) is a kunoichi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and the daughter of Kawaki and Lady Sarada Uchiha. Kaigara was born during the time of restoration after the destruction of the village and the redemption of her father. She is the second child with the first being her brother Kagari, who have both gone through many hardships due to their fathers past. Kaigara wants to become a strong kunoichi and one day take over the Uchiha police force, further restoring the Uchiha name but also proving herself from everyone who condemned her because of her fathers sins. Kaigara is a very talented kunoichi who despite the mistreatment she received still persevered and became a ninja. She was placed on Team Iwabe alongside Hitsuki and Beryl Lee.

## Background

Kaigara was bullied alot as a child because of her fathers past and ostracized by her peers. Despite her mothers reputation and Kawaki's atonement some ppl still couldnt forgive his crimes and projected their resentment onto his offspring. Kaigara would often play alone together with her older brother Kagari who was also mistreated like she was so the two eventually formed a sort of 'us against the world' type bond.

Kaigara and Kagari never knew exactly what happened in their fathers past that made people hate him so much, especially since he was such a good father to them and their mother spoke highly of him, they couldnt understand what he did that was so bad. It isnt until their around 8-9 years old that they finally learn the truth about their father.

One day Kaigara is approached by Guy who sympathizes with her situation, having had a father who was also bullied relentlessly unjustly despite being a good person, and told her how despite all that his father still remained positive and worked hard to prove people wrong about him and advised Kaigara do the same.

Rock Lee also offered her words of encouragement, and it was these two encounters that made Kaigara become a huge fan of them both whom she strived hard to be like from that day on. Seeing Kaigara's enthusiasm to follow their path of youth, Lee gives her their signature bodysuit and offers to train her. Kaigara was ecstatic but preferred it to be blue which was her favorite color so she dyed it. Lee was a bit disappointed but agreed that the blue looked good on her. From that moment on Kaigara became Lee's apprentice and trained hard.

It was during this time of training with Lee and sometimes Metal Lee that she met Beryl Lee, Metal Lee's daughter, and the two became fast friends and fierce training partners. Before long the two had developed a strong rivalry.

Kaigara resented her dad for a long time after learning the truth and became distant from him, but after a long talk with her mother helping her to understand the situation, she lets go of her resentment and forgives her father. Although part of her is still angry at him for causing them to have such a difficult childhood, she still loves him as her dad and is proud of him for working hard to redeem himself, just as she's not working hard to redeem herself in everyones eyes.

Kaigara had grown up with Hitsuki and Kitsuki sharing their household due to their fathers often being away on top secret missions, so they were often left in their best friends care while they were away. Because of this, Kaigara, Kitsuki, and Hitsuki grew up like practically family and formed a close bond over the years.

## Kairyō

The beginning starts with everyone on their last day at the academy before they graduate, Kagari is goofing off with Kitsuki and Hitsuki as usual while Kaigara sitting next to Berly Lee discuss their excitement of finally being done with the academy and becoming soon to be ninja's, before their all scolded by their teacher, Denki, for not paying attention.

## Trivia

* Kagari and Kaigara were named in reference of their parents, Kagari was in reference to his mothers clan who had an affinity for fire jutsu, and Kaigara was in reference to Kawaki who used to be referred to as 'vessel' from the cult 'Kara' which translated to shell, Kawaki wanted to turn the negative into a positive since his name means 'dry/parched' he named her after the ocean that he found so beautiful and the seashells which were 'vessels' that contained beautiful pearls.

## Notes

The Title 'Kairyō' (改良) roughly translates to *'restoration/reform'*

This takes place after Konoha's destruction and the resolution of all the Otsutsuki and Kara threats. In short, this story takes place some time after Kawaki is redeemed and atoned for his sins and Sarada has become the 9th Hokage, Kagari and his sister however are born before Sarada becomes Hokage but are born and grow up as the village is still being rebuilt. Sarada and Kawaki are around their early 20s when their kids are born and in their 30s by the time the beginning of Kairyō starts.

Kagari and all other characters mentioned [Kaigara, Hitsuki, Beryl] belong to RavenAveira on twitter/hanyouren on DA. Most of the images I use are edited screenshots but I also draw too.
