For a moment, he believed it to be his mother’s but he should have known better than that. Yamato’s loud voice brought his leave to a halt. He stared at the door leading out to the rain-soaked Konoha, the gray behind it had painted it with clear trails and droplets. A sigh left his nostril as he felt something from his past raise again. [b]T[/b]hough he couldn’t pin-point it exactly, he knew that it was justified anger. Something … vengeful. When Yamato spoke on the face of the meeting, he turned his side to the guy and stared him directly, ignoring the disapproval of the others. [color=red][b] “I[/b]f you think that, then you’re truly blind,”[/color] He smirked to hide the growing fury, though his eyes failed to be anything but accusing daggers. [color=red][b] “Y[/b]ou and you’re clan, you’ve never been about anything but yourselves. This mask that you’re holding up is cracked and broken. Has been ever since that Jashin incident. You may be able to fool these other clans, but the Naito know. We’ve always known.”[/color] His body, though wholly still, seemed to move with a control passion as he spoke. [b]N[/b]ariko looked towards him but didn’t speak a word, instead her feral black brows came together with disapproval. [b]Y[/b]amato continued on. Defending his father before stabbing a spear of reality through Daiki’s life-long situation. The auburn-haired youth’s eyes went wide with rage as he pulled his hands from his pocket, revealing his clenched fist. It would have been fine if his words were directed towards him; if his venom had not touched his mother, but they had. And it brought the accusation to light. [b]C[/b]hakra burst through the floodgates and dyed his eyes red. In the room, he saw masses of charka and realized that everyone was moving in very predictable motions. As Rejio reacted, grabbing Yamato and pulling him back, Daiki strode forth with a single goal in mind. The screams of Hojo was dulled in his ears, the newcomer that seemed as fickle a caged-animal was ignored. Anyone looking would see the intent in his stride. [b]H[/b]is mother reached out towards him, standing and his wrist with both hands. The touch was tender for she knew all too well how the Naito could view any agitation as a threat in their rage. [color=#B2478F][b] “D[/b]aiki, you too,”[/color] she said pointedly. Daiki staid himself mid-stride, staring pointed blades towards the two Minamoru. By this time, the meeting had faded into quiet. One that was filled with the visceral tension between Yamato and him. [color=red][b] “N[/b]ever assume to know my beliefs.[/color] he said calmly to Yamato, for once his words filled with a daring superiority. [color=red][b] “T[/b]his is why I will never believe you. This mighty bullshit. This pride that gets you nowhere. You’re so caught up in yourself that you don’t have time to care for anything else.[/color] [color=red][b] “T[/b]hat is as true as me being an Uchiha. You and your father, you hide behind this façade but the only reason you even care is what? Your investments are here. Or maybe it’s the Yakuza that your father is involved with. I don’t believe—for a single moment—that your father is holding this meeting for anything but his own gain. And neither should they.[/color] [b]H[/b]e remembered something that Yamato said and felt that he should defend it, now that he had decided to accept it.[color=red][b] “Y[/b]ou called the Uchiha cursed,[/color] he reiterated, a lightly pulled smile on his face. [color=red][b] “T[/b]hat’s fitting actually. But you've got the afflicted wrong. Its always been people like you and your father--cowards who tried to annihilate them, alienate them. It’s okay to be afraid, Yamato, cause regardless, the results will be the same. I'll still end up being better than you.”[/color] He pulled his arm from his mother’s grasp then and started heading for the door again. [b]N[/b]ariko stood up then, bowed deeply to the table, and followed suit. Showing her loyalty to the Uchiha/Naito boy.
