Since I wrote this with this song, I think it would be really nice if you listened to it while reading this. Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell.

Lux Aeterna

The Uchiha clan.

A prestigious family that dated back to the late Shodaime's time, maybe even further back.

Filled with fighters, with killers, with what most would call the most cold blooded people ever.

"Well good morning, young Itachi."

"Good morning to you too, grandmama," replied the small cute, innocent looking boy.

One with the reputation of producing one of the best shinobi of the time.

"Itachi! Come on you promised you'd train with me today!"

"Finish your breakfast and we'll go to the training grounds."

"Alright!"

The most prideful, one filled with many arrogant, thick headed clan members.

"Tch, I'm an Uchiha, you're a nobody, idiot."

"I'll show you Sasuke!"

One filled with terrible secrests.

"Madara,"

"You called, Pein?"

"The boy you wished for is here."

"Ah, good bring him in."

"You're...alive?"

Yet one that harbored a traitor.

"Its either turn against your clansmen or against the village, Uchiha-kun."

"Then for the sake of the village...I will do what I must."

One that wished for hatred, for anything else, so he could be forgiven for his deed.

"You must hate me Sasuke, hate me to become strong."

"No...Itachi..."

Brother against brother.

Where once the tradition was that to become stronger you must slay your best friend. Where if your eyes failed you, you must take your siblings.

"I've come here to kill you,"

"I can tell, but you don't seem like much...Sasuke."

"I'll show you."

"Then show me."

A battle between a twisted snake and a dying raven.

"I've got you Itachi,"

"I doubt that."

Back pressed against the wall, Sasuke stared into his older brother's eyes, fear once again glazing over his darkened black eyes.

"No!"

Two fingers poked his forehead and his brother fell.

"Itachi!"

A smile was all that was left on his brother's face.

To haunt him.

Forever, with his dying smile.

"Itachi..."

Sasuke stared over the burning Konoha.

"This was for you."

"I will fight for Konoha til the end, I will protect it with my life."

"That's good to hear you say, Uchiha-kun. Welcome to Anbu."

Everything he had fought for, every mission, every battle, was gone.

The Uchiha clan.

A prestigious family, filled with fighters, with killers.

Was now nothing more, but a dwindling person now only filled with madness.

Itachi's eyes opened once again.

"So these are your gifts to me, Kabuto- - No Orochimaru?"

"Yes sir."

"I thank you then."

'What the hell is going on?'

The Uchiha clan was now nothing more but a disgrace.

AN:

I don't think I've updated this and its been sitting around in my writing folder for months now, so I'm letting it loose. Hopefully you guys like it and aren't too confused from my constant swtich to italics and regular font.

This is my insight on the Uchiha Clan - hopefully you can make the same connections that I did.

Review please, I'd like to know if I did well or not.
