Forgiveness

Two boys were walking down the road, a black haired boy and a red haired boy, which one was-

" It was me, Gaara, I did it. "

Gaara spoke out loud and Shin turned to look at him weirdly, he was doing it for a while now.

" The hell did you do bro? Nothing is even happening, you gotta learn how to think in your mind man. "

Gaara looked a bit startled and then ashamed, bowing his head he apologized.

" I am not used to keeping it in the mind, I still new to talking in my head thing, it's so surreal. "

Patting Garra on the shoulder, Shin looked at him with pity.

" That's rough buddy, hang in there, you know you make me want to save a few more people, say how about we go get the seven tail jinchuriki for ourselves-"

" Husssh! "

Grabbing Shin's mouth with his sandy plam, Gaara glared at him.

Looking around to see if anyone heard Shin talk, Gaara of all people chastised Shin.

" What are you on about! That's another village's jinchuriki! I am a different story, we can't just go in and grab a jinchuriki! "

" You are going to get into a lot of trouble Shin, don't do it. "

Looking at the flustered Gaara Shin chuckled, but when he was about to tell how Gaara was being a total pansy-

" He is.. he is right Lord Shin.. this is a bad idea.. "

* Gasp *

" Yo who the fuc- where did you come from? "

Shin turned around and found two losers following him with their heads down.

And it was the blonde one who just spoke, startled herself at Shin's exclamation, Temari smiled wryly.

" We were here since the beginning.. you dropped us besides Gaara and forgot about us.. "

Looking like he ate a lemon, Shin waved them away.

" Sheesh, so you were listening in on our conversation? I thought you guys were worthless, but you have good hiding abilities, I couldn't even notice you! "

Kankuro and Temari wanted to open their mouths and say they really weren't hiding, and were sitting in full earshot range and right infront of Shin.

But they held it back, Shin didn't even consider them worth registering, they were like air to him, that much was obvious.

" Shin.. can you forgive them? They really weren't all that bad to me.. "

But Gaara speaking out for them was the last thing the siblings expected.

And they felt incredibly ashamed, they really weren't all that nice to Gaara, he was too scary for them, they never thought if he himself needed help.

" .. Sorry Gaara, I- we really didn't think what you were going through, I kept wanting to stay away from you.. I should have been a better older brother.. "

Kankuro bowed down to Gaara and apologized, he also heard Shin explain his Will Of Shin.

And was now a firm believer of Uchiha clan and God Itachi, Kankuro knew his wrongs, he was trying to rectify them.

" Me too! I should have been a better older sister..! Please give us another chance! "

Looking at the bowing duo Shin frowned and looked around, then said seriously.

" Did you hear that Gaara? Walls can talk..! "

Shaking his head at Shin's balant disregard for his siblings, Gaara grabbed Shin's shoulder and gave him a smile of his own.

" Cut it out.. just forgive them, do this for me brother. "

* Sigh *

Sighing lightly at Gaara's attitude, Shin looked at the siblings with his Sharingan active.

For the extra cool points that is, he learnt it from Itachi, it turns out that's why his older brother kept his active all the time.

" Alright, you have one chance, be good to your brother, he is the only family you have left besides each other.. Am I clear Kankuro, Temari? "

Looking up with big smiles on their faces the siblings once again bowed gratefully.

" Thank you Lord Shin! Thank you Gaara! "

While they were happy, a thing did seem odd to them, it's what Shin meant by Gaara being their only family remaining.

Wasn't there also their dad! The kazekage Rasa? But they left it behind, thinking of it only as a wording error by Shin.

Little did they know..

" Yo Gaara, so I wanted to know, how are your chances against snakes? "

Giving it some thought, Gaara asked Shin for clarification.

" How deadly are we talking about? If it's just regular snakes my mom- my auto defence can will protect me. "

Looking around the village which was bustling with life, Shin spoke in a heavy tone.

" It's a venomous snake, about as big as your one tail, it's a sage on top of that.. think you can handle it? "

Narrowing his eyes, Gaara gripped his fist and promised right away, he wouldn't let Shin down.

" I can, I might have the weakest, most trash tailed beast- "

" Hey! I am very strong, you hear me- "

* Grip *

Gripping the Uchiha logo to stop the raging Shukaku, Gaara continued without batting an eye.

" -The most garbage tailed beast in history, I think I can handle a giant snake, sage or not. "

Gaara's confident talk reassured Shin, while he was acting chill about everything, that was because he now had Itachi's backing.

Before that he was worried sick, he knew edo Tobirama, edo Hashirama, Maybe edo Rasa and Orochimaru were about to wreak havoc.

' So while I have the Rinnegan, my Uchiha clan's properties don't have insurance, I would rather not receive any damage to them. '

But Shin knew that depending on Itachi for everything wasn't going to cut it, sure Itachi had a contingency plan for every possible scenario.

But Shin was not Sasuke, he didn't need Itachi to watch over him while he throws tantrums, it was good to have Itachi, but Shin had ideas of his own.

Because he was the contemporary Uchiha patriarch, and it was his presence that defined Uchiha not, Itachi's.
