<em>There are no guards waiting for them at the gates of the compound. Once, long ago, before the days of Itachi, He Who Is Not Spoken Of among the Uchiha, the clan had similiarly lacked guardians and watchers, boasting then that they needed none... not with the power of the Sharingan on their side. But now? With so few in the clan, even after a handful of generations... Now, if they wanted to, they couldn't. Still, the Uchiha are powerful and influential... After all, even with his betrayal, Sasuke had become one of the saviors of Konoha before he died... And that's why their newest member would be waiting here for them.</em>
