Redemption and Retribution.
New fic yall another Uchiha Naruto one as well, with a female Sasuke. It hit me suddenly while I was working with One of a kind which will eventually be updated. I hope you enjoy this fic.
Disclaimer: I shall do this once as I clearly don't own the Naruto series. I have no rights nor do I own or have shares to the Naruto series, I merely write fanfiction based off of it.
Chapter 1: Day of blood.
"Come on Sasuke, it's late now. You know how your father gets when you get home after sunset." Her blond friend spoke jumping off his seat on a nearby tree branch.
"Awww, already? But I almost got it down." The daughter of the Uchiha clan leader whined as she looked up to her blond peer who grinned at her.
"Yeah, yeah, you'll get it down tomorrow. Right now we better scram, I need some sleep." He said with a yawn rubbing his eyes.
Sasuke looked at her friend in concern, he had bags under his eyes showing he hasn't had some decent sleep in a while. He's been like this since he lost his older brother Shisui, who was believed to have committed suicide by drowning himself in the Naka river. Everyone was concerned about the normally cheerful blond, even her own stone hearted father showed concern. Everybody loved Naruto, he was like Itachi.
"Are you okay?" she asked her friend who smiled and flicked her forehead.
"Yep, just need some ramen and some good ol' sleep and I'll be feeling grand." He said with a smile as she nursed the aching spot on her forehead.
"Ouch! Stop doing that, are you trying to be Itachi?" She asked only to notice that he has began to walk away.
"Hey! I'm still talking to you!" she called out running after him as his laughter echoed throught the forest
The Uchiha's walked towards the compound when both felt unnerved at the eerie silence of the ward. Sasuke who had hitched a ride on Naruto's back, peeked her head over the older blond's shoulder.
"Why is it so quiet?" She asked in no more than a whisper.
"I don't know…maybe they're throwing a surprise party." Naruto suggested scratching his head, Sasuke laughed at the thought of their clan throwing a surprise party.
"You baka, a surprise party? Everyone seems to be asleep. There are no lights on." She said and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Who knows? Maybe your father was like "Hey everybody, let's throw a surprise party for Sasuke and Naruto, switch off your lights and wait for my signal" and they'll jump out and give us infinite bowls of ramen." Sasuke could hear the crickets chirp at Naruto's statement.
"…I didn't accidentally hit your head with a kunai did I?" She asked in concern and he stared at her shaking his head.
"You've gone…never mind, let's just get in." She said and he nodded, as he continued walking.
The two passed through the compound entrance and looked around looking for anything suspicious. Naruto stopped walking as he took a sniff of the air.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"…Do you smell that…it smells like blood, lots of it too." He stated hesitantly, Sasuke raised a brow as she jumped off Naruto's back and ran forward.
"Oi! Get back here!" Naruto yelled after her as he followed the girl.
He lost sight of her until he turned a corner and found her frozen on the spot. He slowly walked up to her and felt every fiber in his body stop as he saw what Sasuke was staring at.
Laying ahead of them were fresh corpses of Uchiha members of all gender and age groups. The path had puddles of blood blocking their path, with corpses forming a barricade.
"…W-What?" those are the only words that managed to escape his lips, before Sasuke took off running yet again.
"TOU-SAN, KAA-SAN, NI-SAN!" she cried out repeatedly as she ran towards her family home. Naruto followed after her, albeit slowly as he looked for the one responsible for this.
Sasuke stared in shock at her elder brother's confession. He stood behind their parent's corpses, his blade dripping of fresh blood that belonged to their mother and father.
"T-To test your strength?" Sasuke repeated as held her shoulder from the cut she received earlier from Itachi's shuriken.
"Yes, I needed some way to see where I stand in terms of skill and ability. This was the only way that would push me to my limit…and I have to say, I am quite pleased." Itachi said with an eerily calm face.
"…are you going to kill me now?" She asked in fear and Itachi smirked before shaking his head.
"There is no value in killing the likes of you… My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me." Itachi appeared to have become a madman as his Sharingan flared to life.
Sasuke could feel every muscle in her body turning forcing her to run out of the house and as far away from Itachi. She ran and she ran, as fast as her little legs could carry her. She tripped over a cobble stone and skidded on his knees scrapping the skin off. She could feel his presence as she tried to crawl away.
"Weak." She heard Itachi say from behind her.
She spun around and stared into his crimson eyes as they began to morph into something different. They took the form of three spiraling curves around the pupil.
"Tsukuyomi…" it came out as a whisper, she felt herself get dizzy and lightheaded and felt as if she was about to collapse, however a yellow blur appeared in front of her. Unknown to her this would save her from mental trauma.
Tsukuyomi Genjutsu.
Naruto grunted as he regained his vision. He found himself at the Naka rive, his brother Shisui was there as well as Itachi. They were saying something but he couldn't quite make it out, that is before Itachi lunged forward and was able to catch Shisui off guard stabbing his sword through his brother's heart. Naruto cried out as he tried to warn his brother, but no sound left his mouth. He watched as Shisui stumbled off the cliff and fell into the river. This image played in a loop for what felt like hours, every single time he was powerless to do anything.
"Stop!" He finally cried out his voice piercing through the veil of silence.
Itachi shimmered appearing in front of him with a stoic expression. Naruto glared at the brunette snarling, even though his vision was blurry from the tears.
"You BASTARD!" Naruto cried out as he leaped at Itachi only to get restrained by a cross made of earth. Naruto struggled against his bindings as he tried as hard as possible to kill the man he had viewed as a second brother.
"You know it was I that killed your weak and pathetic brother." He said calmly.
"WHY!? Shisui-ni saw you as family, and you killed him, you took him away from me!" Naruto's tears revealed his pain and sorrow as he tried hard to glare at Itachi.
"He was a mere pawn to my goals, I needed him to get these eyes." He stated signaling to his morphed Sharingan.
"The Mangekyo sharingan!?" Naruto exclaimed in shock causing Itachi to a raise a brow at his knowledge.
"Oh, Shisui must have shown you his own pair. No need explaining what they are to you. You will come after me once, you have obtained similar eyes." Itachi said as dozens upon dozens of copies of himself appeared all ready to skewer him with their swords.
"There is still 71 hours, 32 minutes and 22 seconds to go." The clones spoke before they began stabbing him. Naruto unleashed a cry of pain.
His eyes were shut before he felt an irritating feeling under his eye lids before he reopened them revealing the Sharinan with three tomeo in each eye, they slowly began to morph taking the form of a four pronged curving black swirl with a red background (resembles a whirlpool.). The Itachi's raised a brow of surprise before everything began to warp away.
Outside of Tsukuyomi.
It all happened within a second, Itachi dropped to one knee with a grunt a he held his left eye in pain. He glared at Naruto with his one good eye as the blond had also dropped to one knee panting. He indeed had unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, something that Itachi hadn't expected.
"Quick to achieve…just like your brother." Itachi commented as he stood up removing his hand from his eye.
Naruto weekly looked up at Itachi, and he already had a particular forbidden technique going through his mind. He looked over his shoulder and saw Sasuke staring back at him in both confusion and fear, he sent her a weak smile before turning back to Itachi.
"…Sadly…you must die now." Itachi said as his right eye began to bleed.
"Amaterasu!" he exclaimed as black flames appeared out of nowhere and began to head towards Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto closed his eyes in concentration.
'Izanagi.' Naruto thought just as the flames were about to engulf them. Itachi watched as the flames swallowed up the blond and his little sister.
He scowled in confusion as he watched the flames warp and rise to the sky looming high into the night sky. The flames came crushing down upon Itachi, who was fast enough to evade the tsunami of black flames. He glared at the spot where Naruto and Sasuke once stood and saw nothing.
'Izinagi, such skill.' Itachi thought before he felt the chakra signatures of the village Anbu and even the Hokage himself.
'Until next time.' He thought before dispersing a murder of crows.
With Naruto and Sasuke.
After performing Izinagi, Naruto had grabbed Sasuke and made a dash towards the exit. However it was hard to see with his left eye permanently sealed from the use of the forbidden technique. Even thought it was 'dead' there was unbearable pain left behind from the strain of the jutsu. He dropped to the ground with Sasuke rolling to a stop, Naruto was on his knees growling in pain as he clawed at his eye, his nails digging into the skin and flesh surrounding the optical organ, leaving behind long gashes around it.
"N-Naruto, please stop, y-you-re hurting yourself." Sasuke begged as she grabbed his hands trying to stop him from gouging out his own eye.
"T-The pain." He muttered before he stopped moving and impacted against the ground unconscious.
Sasuke shook her friend's body, she felt tears streak her cheeks. So much has happened in the span of 30 minutes. Sasuke jumped in fright as someone landed behind them.
"Sasuke-chan, it's me." A calm and gentle voice spoke, Sasuke recognized the voice of that of the Sandaime Hokage. She spun around and ran to the elderly man tugging on his robes.
"Please help him!?" she begged and Hiruzen nodded as two Anbu appeared. One picked up the unconscious form of Naruto, while the other attended to any injuries she had sustained.
"I-is he going to be okay?" She asked and he nodded.
"Yes, he is just tired. Naruto-boy hasn't had much rest…and the events of tonight, no doubt drained him." He explained to the little girl.
Sasuke nodded before she too lost consciousness.
"You two have survived more than most veterinary shinobi." He said with a sorrow filled tone.
