Prologue

Darkness. Loneliness. An endless falling into nothingness. That's what he felt again after ending the technique that brought him back to life for a short while. After Itachi and Sasuke stoped Kabuto, and in the process canceling the reanimation jutsu that brought many fallen shinobi back to life to aid in the destruction of the world and end the Allied Shinobi Forces against their will, Itachi started to glow and his reanimated body started fading away little by little.

-There is still time. – Itachi said whit great effort. He started walking slowly towards Sasuke while speaking to him. – I can feel myself slowly losing consciousness now. I must tell you everything, before we say goodbye and part for good. There is no need to lie anymore.

While watching his older brother slowly making his way towards him, Sasuke froze in one place watching his brother whit sadness in his eyes, not being able to move or say anything.

-The night I left you – Itachi continued – I did everything Danzo and Tobi told you I did.

By hearing that Sasuke's eyes widened and he gasped loudly.

-I will show you the entire truth. – Itachi said and used the power of his Sharingan to show Sasuke parts of his memories from seven years ago, more importantly the ones regarding the massacre of the Uchiha clan.

-These are his memories. – Sasuke thought to himself while watching.

He saw his brother standing behind another person who wore the Uchiha family chrest on his back. They were talking about the Uchiha's plan to overthrow the hidden leaf village and what impact it would cause and that it must be stopped. He also saw the other Uchiha taking out his eye and giving it to Itachi telling him that it would be safe and out of Danzo's hands.

After that he jumped to another memory where Itachi was talking to four elderly people. One of them being the third Hokage and his two advisors, and among them being Danzo, the chief of the hidden leaf village's black ops unit. They spoke how to handle the upcoming Uchiha coup, with most if not all of the outcomes ending with the annihilation of the clan. Although the third Hokage not wanting things to end badly, he asked Itachi to try and buy as much time as he can so that the Hokage can come up with a peacefull solution.

Then another memory was shown. Danzo giving Itachi an ultimatum of either join his clan in the coup against the hidden leaf village and be killed, or join the side of the village, killing every Uchiha clan member with the condition that only his little brother will be allowed to live.

Then Sasuske saw Itachi in a forest talking to a man whit a mask which had a hole for only one of the man's eyes. He recognized him as Tobi. They were discussing how Tobi being an Uchiha himself, would help Itachi with the stopping of the coup of the Uchiha resulting in the clan's destruction. From what Sasuke saw and herd Tobi was indifferent to what is going to happen to the clan, do to bearing hate for it and the village alike, but agreed to help Itachi in his deed on the condition that he will not harm the village or Sasuke.

And then came the memory that Sasuke remembered all too well, more specifically the night that everyone he knew died. The only difference being that this time he saw it trough his older brothers eyes.

-Now I regret not telling you everything before it had come to this. – Itachi spoke during the illusion.

Sasuke saw Itachi in their house, in their parents room. His mother and father siting, their backs towards Itachi, and Itachi with his sword drawn out.

-I see. – his father spoke in a calm manner, knowing what was about to happen – So you have aligned with the other side.

-Father. Mother. – Itachi's words got stuck in his throat for a moment – I just…

-We already know Itachi. – his mother interrupted him with the same calmness in her voice as his father.

-Itachi just promise me this. – his father spoke again – That you will take care of Sasuke.

Hearing this Itachi froze, tears falling down on his cheeks as he started to tremble.

-I will. – he said trying not to let the trembling and the sadness to overtake his voice anymore that it already had.

As he held his sword in both of his hands he started to tremble even more before his father spoke again.

-Do not fear it. This is the path you have chosen. Compare to yours, our pain will be over in an instant. – he heard his eldest son's silent cry before saying his last words to him – Our philosophies may differ, but I am still proud of you. You are truly a kind child.

- We will always love you Itachi. – his mother said her final words as well.

After that a trembling, sadden beyond words and full with tears in his eyes, Itachi's blade went above his head and with a silent scream that no one could hear he cut them down.

After that Sasuke saw himself enter the room, and he knew what happened henceforward.

-There is nothing more to say. – Itachi spoke again releasing the illusion – I have told you the whole truth. I won't have to ever again. – still walking towards his younger brother with great effort trying to stay conscious and not to leave anything unsaid – I have always lied to you and asked for your forgiveness while keeping you at a distance, because I wanted to keep you out of this. But now I think that you could have changed father, mother, and the rest of the Uchiha as well. If I had only come to you from the start, looked straight into your eyes and told you the truth, then I wouldn't have to stand before you as a failure telling you all of this. But I want to impart at least this much truth to you.

Finally after all the walking that seemed like an eternity, he reached Sasuke who stared back at him, whit no words that he could say. He reached out to him and gently grabbed and pulled his head towards his connecting his forehead with his younger brother's and looked him in the eyes with a gentle and calm smile on his face.

-You don't ever have to forgive me. – he spoke to his younger brother – And whatever you do from here on out know this. – Itachi started to fade away while saying his last words – No matter what I will love you always. – whit that the older brother's body disappeared into the into thin air.

With his final goodbye to his brother Itachi returned to the endless void that was death. Thinking to himself that he did his part and that he will never see his brother again. Or so he tought. For what he did not know that fate had other plans for him and his younger brother.

After a brief sigh Itachi looked at the nothingness and tought to himself "I'ts over". But after that he saw something. A bright little dot that started growing biger and biger.

-What is that? – Itachi asked when he realized that not only that little dot was growing in size, but it looked like he was speeding towards it unwillingly. With a slight grow of trying to resist the pull towards that light, Itachi finally realized that it is out of his hands. He closed his eyes and let the bright light engulf him, when everything went completely white.

Chapter 1

It was early morning. The sun's light had just shed light on the horizon when a young lady had just opened her eyes for the new day. As she sat on her bed she heard knocking on her door before it opened.

-Princess Henrietta, may we come in? - a maid said showing her head trough the slightly opened door.

-Yes, please do. - the princess of Tristania answered while getting up and out of her bed.

After that the maid entered her room and started making her bed, replacing the old sheets with new ones while the princess went to the balcony doors and opened them, allowing the morning fresh air to fill the room and her lungs. After the maid finished with the bed she opened the princess's wardrobe and got out a clean dress so that the princess can wear it after her morning bath, the maid followed her next. After pouring hot water into the bathtub, Henrietta slowly got into it and sat down while sighing with great relaxation. After twenty minutes of bathing she finally got out and was immediately started to get dried out by the maid. After that she got dressed and sat down in front her mirror allowing the maid to brush her violet hair. While siting on the chair she started to hum to herself because of a little tune that got stuck in her head. She stopped humming to herself when the maid was done with her hair and stood up.

- That was a wonderful tune princess. – the maid said.

- Thank you. It popped in my head just now. – Henrietta replied – Shall we go to the dining room?

After saying that Henrietta left the room with the maid following her close behind. While walking trough the halls she got multiple humble bows from the staff in the castle. Maids, butlers and guards alike. Upon reaching and entering the dining room she was greeted by the main butler of the castle.

- Good morning princess. – the butler said with a slight but most humble bow. – I hope that you have slept well.

- I have. Thank you for asking Rodrick. – she replied with a kind smile.

- Wonderful! – the old butler said joy in his voice – Now if you please follow me your highness we are ready with cooking the breakfast and are ready to serve.

- What do we have for breakfast Rodrick? – she asked while siting on the table.

- We have baked bread and bacon, strawberry yogurt, blueberry jam, honey covered cake and mint tea.

After Rodrick described the breakfast it was served. Each one of the served meals was served in a masterly crafted porcelain decorated with small rubies. On the side the utensils were maid of pure silver. As she started eating Henrietta started thinking about her studies today. She had political studies with her tutor after the breakfast was over, then after it was turn for history. Time went fast during her studies and when she was done she made her way to the gardens for an afternoon tea with her mother the queen. While making her way to the garden she was met by a young blond woman in her early twenties. She was carrying a sword on her waste along with a pistol and also was wearing armor.

- Your highness. – she greeted Henrietta with a bow.

- Hello Agnes. – the princess said joyfully after seeing the captain of the firearm squadron. - Have you come to accompany me to the gardens?

- Yes princess.

- Good. Shall we go?

With that said they made their way to the garden where the queen was waiting.

- Hello mother. – Henrietta greeted.

- Hello Henrietta. – the queen said with a motherly smile.

The princess sat next to her mother and one of the servants poured her cup with fruit tea.

- How was your day mother? – the princess asked.

- It was peaceful. There were no complaints from the people today, so I managed to relax with a reading a good book. And how were your studies.

- Fine. History is always interesting, - she paused for a moment – but my political studies are not so much and are difficult to understand. Still I am learning a great deal of things.

- Yes, I remember when I used to study them. Politics were my least favorite subject, but I learned, and now I practice them.

- It is not easy, is it mother?

- No it is not. Being a monarch is easy enough, but the responsibilities that come whit it is a whole different thing. – the queen said with a slothful voice while taking a sip of her tea – The complaints of the people, taking care of the troubles in the land and the hard choices that have to be made in particular.

- It really is not easy for you. But how do you know which choices you have to take and which not.

- That is the hard part. You never know what influence certain choices might have. But enough of that. We are here to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet right?

- Yes mother. – Henrietta said while leaving the cup on the wooden table and dismissing the servant and Agnes so that she and her mother could talk just the two of them – Why don't we…

Before she could finish her sentence a blinding white light erupted out of nowhere. Covering their eyes the princess and the queen screamed out of the pain that they felt in their eyes. In a moment's notice, the blinding light was gone and in the garden came in running Agnes with sword in hand along with other of the castle guards.

- Your majesties are you all right! – Agnes asked with a worried tone.

- Yes Agnes we are. – the queen answered.

- What was that light? – Henrietta asked. Before anyone could answer with "I don't know" a grow was heard coming from one of the bushes.

- We are about to find out. – Agnes said grunting her teeth and waiting whoever was in the bush to show them self.
