“No parent should, yet many parents must. That pain is not unique to me, as such mine matters no more than others. And to say you could have prevented what happen, boy, is nothing but your selfish mind talking to you. Nobody can prevent evil from doing what evil does, all we can do is give everything we have on a daily basis to do all we can to deter it.”

Setting his fiery gaze upon the eyes of Takahiro, Ikeru’s brow would furrow some. The child was unusual for an Uchiha, being so polite and humble and having such aspirations to help others: a will of fire not seen in any Uchiha.

“The Fire Armor, if you are aware of what it is then you should also be aware of the possible dangers this Jutsu brings. More than half of the people who I’ve taught it to have died in their efforts, or the phoenix force would have been twice as large. Yet you wish to learn this technique, why? If you had been stronger you could’ve done more, hmm? Tell me, what do you think Strength really is? That conviction of yours, stating that no other parent has to bury their child? It’s nothing but a lie; parents will always have to bury their child, that’s just how the world is.”.

Reaching down below his des, Ikeru’s shaking fingers latched around the neck of a bottle of sake which he brought up to his lips, never breaking eye contact as he downed several large gulps and slammed the bottle back down onto his desk. A moment passed where it’d be uncertain for someone whether to be afraid or not, whether to move or sit still, whether to respect or to pity. A moment silenced by the still surprisingly clear voice of Ikeru.

“There are levels to this Jutsu which I could never reach, that with the sharingan and your clan’s chakra control, and powerful chakra, you might be able to attain. After learning chakra flow, and the Fire release chakra armor, there are great feats of shape manipulation that one could possibly execute. For the chance of finding such a prophecy, I will give you one chance to prove yourself capable of learning this Jutsu. But before that you must get your father’s permission, as this path of training has a large chance of taking away the heir to his clan and leaving naught but a pile of ashes to remember that heir by, the heir being you.”
