Season I: Childhood days
Chapter I : Uchiha's new prodigy
He's got everything. Everything a person would ever want – family, reputation, power. He was born to have that and is fated to be that. People say that he is lucky to have that standing, especially in the entire clan but sometimes the best things for them is not what it is for him.
He is often praised as their clan's new prodigy- after the late one who first made history for the clan. Whenever he would pass by his clan house, people would look up at him and say that he's "the one- Uchiha's next prodigy" but would it at least count for him? He could barely smile or even thank for the praises but actually, it didn't matter for him. His father, who is recently the clan head, would often make high expectations from him who his own mother would think it to be impossible or difficult. But for him, he doesn't even make much effort to please everybody although they are often pleased by him since he always exceeds their expectations with no intentions or whatsoever. It's just the way it is, as what he says.
What really does make him special or unique which makes him the cream of the crop in his clan? Perhaps, it was that time when he was still a baby when his father accidentally dropped him on the floor and hit his head badly that in time gain him more intelligence? Maybe, not. Man, that was a long time ago. His parents got their first I'll-kill-you quarrel after that incident and at the same time when the elders proclaimed him what he'll be in the near future. He would just shrug it off when Mikoto would always narrate that incident to him; embarrassing his dad.
Flashback:
"Fugaku! How many times have I told you not to do that to Itachi? He's still too young!" His mother would always say.
"It's not like I'm going to drop him on ground… Besides, catching a baby is just pretty easy for an ANBU captain like me!" His dad would always brag.
"Fugaku!" Mikoto loses her patience.
"Yeah, yeah…." Fugaku mutters sarcastically. "Your mother is such a scaredy cat, Itachi." He mutters; holding Itachi with his hands then he gave his one last throw-in-the-air game.
"Fugaku!" Mikoto yelled from the kitchen. As he was about to catch his son, startled with Mikoto's call; Itachi slipped from his hands and falls headfirst on the floor. 'Bump!'
Everything went silent. Still. Calm… then…
"Uh-oh…" Mikoto arrives in the room with a kitchen knife in her hand. She gives him a terrible death glare as she is fast approaching towards him. "I'll kill you!"
Swiftly, Fugaku places the crying baby on the crib and runs for his dear life.
They nearly broke the ceramics in the house and made the room a complete disaster before the elders arrive.
"At least your mother didn't break my favorite vase." His father would always say.
"I was just about to do that, Fugaku." Her mother couldn't get over from that incident.
Itachi would just sigh. Even the elders must've had done the same from the disastrous sight of the house. First time parents… they would say.
But what really made his father's pride grow, when they would talk about how the elders first met him when he was a baby. And it was that same time when the incident happened.
"If only you could see how much I am proud of you at that time, Itachi." He would always say with his rare big smile which Mikoto would thought he would look funny.
"Yeah, and the house was a complete disaster when they came in." Itachi mutters apathetically.
"Forget about that, son. At least my son is the next prodigy in our clan!" Fugaku would laugh proudly.
Flashback:
"Oh, the Uchiha's new prodigy. Tazi, as what the prophesy said." Kisha-sama mutters with Itachi in her arms.
"You're right, Kisha. He is the one. Besides of the ultimate skill and intelligence he'll have, he'll be gifted of the bloodline." Tazi-sama said.
"Such a beautiful baby boy." Kisha-sama would always say. His mother would just chuckle about it.
"With such giftedness, he'll be carrying a heavy burden someday." Elder Tazi warns. His father didn't have to worry about that since for sure it'll be becoming the next clan head someday; somehow following his dad's footsteps.
"Don't worry about it, son, it's just you'll be carrying the name of our clan as our prodigy. Besides, it doesn't cost that much." Fugaku said.
Itachi would just nod and listen to his parents opinion about that but that doesn't really matter to him. Everything would just come up when the time comes.
"Oh, Itachi, your father and I are really proud to have you as our son. We couldn't ask for more than you." Mikoto smiled as she places her hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, and we would only give you the best we could give just for your sake, son." Fugaku mutters with his arms crossed.
"Thanks Mom, Dad. I'll never let you down." Itachi mutters as he bows his head.
"I have your words, Itachi." Fugaku reminded.
"Don't worry, dad, it's not what you think." He mutters under his breath and left.
