“My family? Like my birth family?” Solari asked amazed as she sat down opposite the Hokage.

He nodded. “What other family is there to tell about? Yes, I feel like you are old enough to know, but only if you want me to tell you.”

“Of course I want to know. Please tell me.”

Sandaime reached into a drawer of his desk as he spoke. “Don’t expect an extravagant story. It really is a short one.” He placed a small black box on his desk. “Twelve years ago, you were brought to me with this box. It raised a many questions as it answered.”

Solari reached slowly for the box. When the Hokage didn’t try to stop her, she picked it up and opened it. Inside was a necklace and a note. She picked up the note and began to read it.

‘Please take care of our daughter Solari.

            -Uchiha Fugaku & Uchiha Mikoto’

She put down the note and took out the necklace. It was a small silver chain with a pendant on it. The pendant was the symbol of the Uchiha clan, the same thing on the back of Sasuke’s shirt. On the back of the pendant, in simple yet beautiful letters, was inscribed Uchiha Solari.

“Fugaku and Mikoto were the parents of Sasuke and Itachi,” Sandaime explained. “Unfortunately, they passed away some time ago. They were killed, along with the rest of the clan, by Itachi. The only ones still alive are Itachi, Sasuke, and yourself.” He paused to think. “In fact, unless I am mistaken, the same day Sasuke suffered the pain of losing his family, you disappeared as well.”

Solari nodded, she remembered that day well. She had suffered so much pain but she didn’t know why. It hadn’t been a physical pain either, it was more like a pain in her heart. She hadn’t understood why that was happening.

“What do I do now?”

“The way I see it, you are at a fork in the road, so to speak. You can choose to continue your life the way it is now, or you can tell Sasuke that the two of you are twins.”

Solari jumped from her chair. “Twins? What do you mean twins?”

Sandaime smiled. “I mean, you two are twins. I wouldn’t think that would be confusing for you.”

Solari sank back down in her seat looking embarrassed. “Of course it’s not. I was just shocked, is all.” She sighed. “So we’re twins and we’re on the same team, small world huh?”

“Not quite. Don’t forget that it is the duty of the Hokage to create your squads.”

Solari nodded and stood up. “I need to think this out. You think I should tell Sasuke, don’t you?”

The Hokage shook his head. “I can’t say. He is your brother after all.”

Feeling it was odd to call Sasuke her brother, Solari didn’t respond. She picked up the box and, after first checking for the letter and necklace, left the room.
