Promise

On the territory of the Uchiha clan. In the sky, the moon has regained its usual radiance. In a small house in which there was a quiet atmosphere. There were 4 people sitting at one large table.

All of them did not utter a single word for the whole hour that they spent in silence, until the eldest Jiro Uchiha decided to express his words: - "Your mother is gone.. But she will still be in our hearts.. Even though we are not in the main branch of the clan, it's better for us not to talk about what happened.."

The oldest Akira, who was sitting to the right of his father, decided not to comment in any way. The youngest, Kin, sitting to the left of his father, decided to speak out: "Don't worry, Father, all information about this bastard will be destroyed."

"That's good..good.. What about you, Haru?" Jiru asked, looking at his second son, who was different from all other children in that he was not arrogant like all Uchiha, instead he had a kind character, which was repeatedly confirmed in the reports of the missions in which he participated.

"Everything will be as you decide, Father," Hiro replied without hesitation, unreadable emotions appeared in his eyes, which immediately disappeared.

Soon after everyone had expressed their opinion, silence fell again in the room. Hiro got up first, ignoring all three of them, he disappeared from his seat.

...

Sitting on a branch, on the highest point of an old oak tree, Hiro gently looked at his pendant that his mother had given him. At the moment when he passed the genin exam, they and their family celebrated this day with joyful faces. Of all the brothers, he was the most gifted child. Despite his young age, he graduated from the academy at the age of 7. At the age of 12, he had already achieved great success in the ninja world, thanks to which he became a special jonin, which is a sign of great talent, especially for his young age.

Gently rubbing a slightly scratched pendant that was made of ordinary wood, which is no different from junk, but for him it is the only expensive thing in life that his mother gave him.

- "You can be calm, Mom.. I'll take care of my brother.. I feel like he's going to be special.. Having said that, he disappeared from his seat. After a while, he ended up at the shelter, where he carefully crept onto the roof to see what was going on inside the building.

In one of the rooms there were three people who were carefully looking at a small child wrapped in diapers and talking about something. Due to the fact that there was a strong sound insulation in the room that did not allow him to hear what was happening in the room, Hiro quietly crept up to the door to make sure that he could clearly hear what was happening inside the room.

There were three people in the room, one a young woman, the other with a full figure with a scarf thrown over his head, the other was an old man with a beard and gray hair. They all decided what to do with the child.

The old man was the very first to speak: - "Yakushi, this boy is quite healthy.. But at the expense of his skin, I do not know what it is, since this is the first time I see such a case, but as I can say, it will not affect his life in any way, the big problem is that the boy... blind.."

"Kanpu, are you sure the boy is blind? How can you say that just by looking at him from the side? Yakushi Nono said, looking at the child.

- "The boy does not focus on anything, his eyes seem to look into the void, I can be sure for sure that he is completely blind, even glasses will not help here, especially since we do not have so much budget to afford to treat another child." - Kanpu told the young girl.

A plump woman, Keiri, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Maybe we don't have such a large amount of money, but it's not a good idea to throw the child away either, we know that there are a lot of children like him, but let this boy stay here, as soon as he adapts to his situation, we will let him go."

Hiro, who was standing outside the door all this time, heard every word spoken by these three people, he realized that his little brother was born with defective eyes and that his life would be very difficult, despite all this, he decided that as soon as the baby grows up, he will take him with him, into his care, to teach him to adapt to life.

- "Well, let's leave the child with us for now, let's hope that some family will be able to take him in, though.. Time will tell." - having said that, Yakushi left the room.

Meanwhile, Hiro, who almost got caught, quickly disappeared from his seat. Once on the roof of the orphanage, he swore to himself that he would protect his little brother at the cost of his life, for the sake of a mother who, no matter what, decided to give life to a small child that cost her life.

...

Three years later..

...

Orphan home. Sitting in a large dining room, a bunch of children greedily ate their food, not even leaving crumbs. Among all the children in the corner of the dining room sat a boy with chubby cheeks and short spiky hair, who was quietly eating from his plate.

As soon as he finished eating, he slowly got up from his seat, taking his dirty dishes with him and carried them to the washing stand, passing by children of different ages, the boy did not pay attention to any of them, as if they did not exist, at the same time one of the children who had a frown decided to put a footboard for the boy.

At this time, a boy named Makira, who was carrying his plate, without even thinking, ran into the running board, completely turning over his dirty plates.

- "Tsk.. He's really blind, so it's not interesting.. If he stumbles like an idiot every time, then what's the point?" - having said that, the boy who put the footboard for Makira, took his dirty dishes, got up from his table and approached the boy who was trying to find his dirty dishes that he dropped on the floor, lifting the dishes over the boy's head, he poured all the leftovers on his head and threw the empty dishes in front of his nose and said: - "You'll clean up after me too, understand?"

Makira, who was bullied by an older boy, did not even flinch before all these actions, nodded in response and began to pick up all the dishes in his hands. When he got to the reception room, he left all the dirty dishes and went to his room. Since money began to flow into the orphanage in his name from birth, he was allocated a separate room in which he could be separated from other children, except that the educators did not give a damn about what was happening to him in the orphanage.

Taking off his dirty clothes, the boy went to the bathroom to clean his whole body of dirt, wiping his whole body, he put on his black shorts and a black T-shirt over his body and collapsed on the bed covering his eyes with his hand.
