And she's back with a new fic!! Really, I don't expect many reviews for this one. It is a Mary Sue, so I can understand if people don't like it. The only reason I'm writing this is because I'm bored and I needed to write something about Itachi. Anything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto today, but maybe tomorrow…Maybe.

Disgraceful

I watched silently from the treetops of a forest as a team of four quickly huddled then dispersed. They hadn't noticed me or at least they hadn't bothered to care.

These people were shinobi. Not just any shinobi; these were highly ranked. I had reason to be frightened, but I was not. These people had no business with me.

I followed them with the great stealth and agility I had practiced so hard to obtain. Some would say that I was foolish though. I always allowed my long auburn hair to flow free, even if it were quite notable. My hair had a mind of its own as I liked to say. When I had put it up in the past, it always found a way to release itself.

Of course, my hair was not my only unique feature. I also had somehow been gifted with deep blue eyes and a dark purple eyebrow ring on my left. I had no memory of my past. I had simply woken one day in the heart of this very forest with only my age, skills, and name to accompany me.

It had been two years since the day I had awoken and my skills and age had increased. I had been fourteen when I opened my eyes to that unforgiving sunlight and now I was sixteen in the same cursed rays. I spent my days observing the people who entered the wood and practicing their technique. One man in particular had caught my eye…literally.

This man was around twenty years of age. I had only laid eyes on him once in this forest, but from what I could tell, he had been here before. I had only been fourteen then. I was weak and did not know what to do. No one knew of my being in the wood. Only him.

I can remember his profile as if I had known him all my life. He was very handsome, but quite short for his age. His hair was as dark as coal and he wore a black cloak with red clouds scattered across the area. Two scars lined his face, but that was not what astonished me the most. His eyes: they were red.

During all my years of stalking the shinobi of the nearby village, I had learned much more than of what they called 'jutsu's'. I was educated in all the forms of jutsu and the chakra patterns they created. I knew every weapon, every scroll by simply looking at the style or bulge it makes in the pocket. I knew every headband, every villain. I even knew what the red clouds on the man's cloak symbolized…

As I followed this group, I could finally sense what was so eerie and interesting about this particular mission. That man was here. Instead of slowing me down, my excitement increased my speed. I knew what I would do this time. The man knew I was here and he was the only one. I would reveal myself to him.

I could feel that I was gaining on the team. There chakra was close, way too close. I could not risk them discovering me. One man knowing was enough. Who knows who he could have told?

Unconsciously, I placed my index and middle finger on my brow. The purple ring had always brought me comfort. It had also brought me safety. I had come to understand that this stick of metal buried in my forehead had a purpose. It protected me from what I had learned to call Genjutsu.

I ceased in my steps as I realized the team of shinobi had stopped. I had to avoid these people at all cost. So cautiously, I stepped in a path around them as not to alarm them. This was no ambush.

When I had turned the age of fifteen, I had also begun to take note of another unusual power the piece of jewelry gave me. It concealed my chakra almost perfectly. That is why this man they were hunting had interested me so. How did he sense me? I had to know.

Finally, I made it to a lone branch that was well hidden from both the shinobi and the man. The team was…speaking to him. Politely yes, but with definite authority that they knew they did not have.

I stared at the man awkwardly when I saw him smirk. It was the same smirk he had given me those tow years ago when he caught me spying on him. It was beautiful…beautiful and mysterious all at once.

Then I heard him speak. His voice was that of an angel which had fallen down to earth. "Disgraceful," he said. "Disgraceful that you can not even tell that there is human being lurking in your forest. Disgraceful."

My eyes widened in realization of what he was speaking of. He knew that I was here yet again.

I took this as my cue to present myself openly for the first time. I lightly padded out from underneath the brush of the limbs and bowed deeply.

"It seems you have found me once again, Uchiha-san." That's right. I knew his name, I knew his tale, but I still had no clue as to how he had known.

"So it seems," he answered with that same smirk plastered across his face.

Now it was only a matter of time. I had foreseen what was to come next…
