(Ken Tokitō POV - No Recorded Time)
When I was young, I was usually ridiculed by a lot of people in Konoha, the Hyuga bastard who didn't even get the Byakugan. You see, my dad was a Hyuga, my mom was a simple commoner.
My father was also very prideful, as all Hyuga were, and somehow the asshole got with a kind soul with my mom, and he had an affair. But when my mom had me, and I didn't come out with that stupid milk eye, he abandoned her and me. I took my mother's last name.
But I was glad, glad that I wouldn't get some slave brand on my forehead to fight for a clan that would treat me like shit.
So I excelled, of course, I was overshadowed, what would you expect? I was born into the era of the 3 disciples of the 3rd Hokage and Sakumo Hatake.
Compared to them, I was nothing, but I could still hold my own. But then on my first C-ranked mission, my team was slaughtered by a rogue ninja from Iwagakure, and I ran away.
I abandoned the damn mission for my safety, my friends died, and I froze.
After that, I believed that life was useless. I was a ninja, I would die any day now, wouldn't I? So I became a little reckless during missions, risking my life to complete my missions.
I made a small name for myself in Suna, "The Reckless Shinobi," due to the riskiness of the decisions I made. I lived life on the prospect of YOLO.
And then..I met her
Masuyo Uchiha, an Uchiha who hadn't unlocked the sharingan yet, yet still had ruby red eyes. Unlike all the "Cold" and "Arrogant" Uchiha's she was warm, and so god damn beautiful I felt my heart skip 1 million beats. You would have never thought she was a badass ninja.
I remembered proposing right then and there. It was stupid, but I only thought, "You only live once, might as well." She rejected me, of course.
But I tried every day from then on, proposed till she said yes, there was something about her that just drew me in, it made me want to pursue her.
When she finally gave me a chance, I swear I was the happiest man on the damn earth.
I stayed through it all, her horrible cooking, the way she burned milk once somehow, the rough training, the consolation.
And then..we had him, Kai, my son, my pride, he was only 2 and yet I could tell he would grow up to be something great.
And I wanted to see him become great, I wanted to be there when he got his first love, his first heartbreak, his first kill, I wanted to comfort him. No, no, not want. I will be there for it.
So, I swear to you, Kai and Masuyo, I'll survive, I'll make you proud and give you the world.
