There really was no building for Deucalion to enter. The Shrine grounds were an open space of gardens and of course the shrine, Some people had elected to sit on the ground, others stood and chatted, no one really gave Deucalion a second glance. There was nothing fancy about him, there were others who looked just as menacing as he did. Deucalion and all the others of the clan would be forced to wait about for almost an hour. In that time the younger generation of the Uchiha clan could be seen running through the crowds in a game of tag. There were a few heated discussions which were quickly quelled. A closer look of the shrine would reveal that there was no secret writing or any of the sort, it was simply like a giant gravestone.

Finally after an hour of waiting, four elderly members of the clan appeared through the use of the body flicker technique. There were two old women who seemed identical, their backs were hunched, they wore fire red robes and they had grey hair that was neatly tied back into a bun. Beside them was a very tall older gentleman, he had a strong jaw and snow white hair, wrinkles ran across his face and his dark eyes were almost piercing. Much like the twins, he wore a red robe but also had a long katana tied to his waist. And finally was another woman who looked much younger than the twins but still old, her hair was a mix of white and black, she had wrinkles and a face that was most certainly the face of beauty when she was younger. Once again she wore a robe like the others. These were the four elders, wise and capable members of the clan who had been left to oversee the clan in the event of the Last Lord's death.

The Man stepped forward, his presence and expression commanded silence from everyone gathered. "WELCOME my clansmen. Today is a very special occasion! But the reason being will be revealed shortly" He would scan the crowd before making a motion as if calling people up. After a few quiet moments 10 children all of whom under 12 would step forward. "First things first, for years our clan has held a rite of passage, to go for boy to man, girl to woman, child to adult. The Great Fireball Technique is a jutsu WE created, and while it may have become a stable jutsu amongst others, only WE know its true meaning. These children here are ready to take their next step" The Rite would take almost an hour alone, with each child being made to perform the Great Fireball Technique. Each child managed it with some of differing qualities, there was one girl whose Great Fireball was likened to that of a small sun, and so it should have been, the heat had radiated over the whole crowd. "Congratulate them! For they are now Men and Women of the Uchiha Clan!" There was a cheer, a raucous uproar from the crowd and the kids made their way to their parents.

The Elder Man would step back now as the younger Elder stepped forward, much like the previous she commanded respect from all those present. "As you all know! For 20 years our clan is in shambles. Long ago our clan was considered one of the greatest clans of Konoha, our rivals the Senju were the only clan we would consider our equals, but now, even as a smaller population, they show us up, why? Because they are unified! They don't give in to pettiness like we have done over and over again for twenty years" She would go silent to let people mull this over.

"For almost 200 years before the War of the Akatsuki, our clan was nearing the pinnacle of greatness due to the Leadership of one of the most powerful Dynasties know to our clan; The Hiro Dynasty. Under the Lordship of figures like Mahiro, Yohiro, Kahiro, Yamahiro, Matsuhiro, Yashiro and of course, the late Takahiro, our clan had become a loyal and powerful clan of Konoha, before their Dynasty our clan fell to the Curse of Hatred, something that seems to run in our veins, but the Hiro's they were of different stock. Their fire, their WILL OF FIRE burnt with such fury that Takahiro's will was said to match the sun! They ruled with compassion, wisdom and righteousness. But, Lord Takahiro Uchiha had no heirs, no brothers or sisters and as such .... Their Dynasty ended with him" It was a solemn statement, and many clan members would start to look saddened, for what had they become? A bunch of interfighting losers, everyone here knew it, the Lords would never accept such behaviour.

"But fear not! For Lord Takahiro left us with one instruction before the final war. Should he die, we were to let the clan govern itself until it was deemed to un-unified at which point ... A NEW LORD SHALL BE CHOSEN AND A NEW DYNASTY SHALL BEGIN!" The cheers of the crowd were ungodly, the ground shook with their cheers. "NOW! SHUT UP" the crowd went dead silent "Thank you, For those of you who think you have what it takes to Lead our clan to greatness, step forward!" There was silence for a moment before Five members of the clan stepped forward.

There was woman of beauty and grace with a twin pair of axes, her raven hair flowed like a river. Another who was quite pretty but was younger than the first. On her back was a bow and on her hip a short sword. Then there was the first man, lithe with a cunning face, two daggers were strapped to his back. The second was a brute of a man, a giant cleaver sword strapped to his back. And the final man, well at first glance he seemed almost normal, but his chakra, his chakra seemed to radiate like a pushing force, it was ... intimidating. The Elders would wait five more minutes for anyone else to step forward.
