Age 12
The day the Nine-Tails attacked the Hidden Leaf Village was a chaotic one. Shisui and Y/n, both were determined to do whatever it took to protect their home. However, when they received orders to stay back and not participate in the frontline defense, their reactions were a mix of frustration, worry, and a sense of helplessness.
Shisui couldn't believe that he was being ordered to stay behind. He knew he was strong and knew that he could aid in fighting. But the Hokage´s orders were clear. No young Shinobi were allowed to fight on the frontlines no matter their rank. And the Uchiha´s were ordered to evacuate the civilians.
He paced back and forth in the command center, his fists clenched. "I can't just stand here and do nothing while the village is under attack," he muttered to himself. Y/n shared Shisui's frustration. She watched as the other shinobi rushed out to face the Nine-Tails, her heart heavy with worry for her friends and the village. "I can't believe they're keeping us back," she whispered to Shisui, her voice filled with frustration.
Shisui turned to Y/n, his best friend, his expression a mixture of determination and concern. "We have to trust that the higher-ups know what they're doing, Y/n. Our time will come to help, but for now, we must follow orders. Even if we don´t agree with them." They had to trust Minato Sensei and her father´s decision.
As they stood in the command center, they listened to the sounds of battle outside, the roars of the Nine-Tails echoing through the village. Every instinct in them urged them to join the fight, to protect their loved ones and their home. But they knew that disobeying orders could lead to even greater chaos.
Hours passed, and the battle raged on. Shisui and Y/n couldn't help but feel a growing sense of anxiety and impatience. They knew that their comrades were risking their lives on the frontline, and they longed to stand by their side. “Where are Itachi and Sasuke?” She asked. “They probably already evacuated and are in safety.”
Amidst the chaos of the Nine-Tails attack, Shisui and Y/n found a moment to talk, their voices hushed as they stood together in the shadow of a ruined building, watching the devastation unfold. Shisui glanced at her, his expression tense with frustration. "I can't believe they're keeping us back. We're strong enough to make a difference out there." “Guess they don´t see it that way.” She muttered bitterly.
A deafening roar from the Nine-Tails echoed through the air, making them both flinch. Sensing her uneasiness Shisui took her hand in his and gave it a light squeeze. He felt her loosen up and get calmer. The friends were now sitting down, leaning against a wall, and couldn´t do anything but wait. Her father was out there. Fighting. Y/n leaned her head against Shisui´s shoulder seeking comfort. He just leaned his own head against her own and so the two friends waited for the nightmare to be over.
