One event can change a whole world. Changing the outcome of one single day can evolve and be a catalyst for a much more dangerous path.
I believe...
You're thoughts, even your words, expressions and ideals are the real, and they take form and manifest themselves into what becomes your reality. When you're single and only thought at a point is survival through sheer power of will you can manifest that reality into life. To live is the rarest thing of them all, most people just exist but he refused to be just another one of those people, he would not be another part in a sad story. He and only he would define his own destiny and where he ends up after that point. If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win! He saw the sword descend upon him, this was going to be his death... he had accepted that fact, not that he could move his body anyway how was he going to survive?
Electricity jolted throughout his body
The blade got closer
Jolt
Jolt
Jolt
Jolt
'If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win!'
With that final thought running through his head, he flashed into action. His hand quickly scrambled at the floor looking for everything, looking for anything. It turned into a fist he threw it forward, dirt surely followed. A dirty tactic but his survival depended on it, he reached for his kunai as his assailant scrambled. Grasping it tightly in his hand, he lunged forward.
Stab, Stab, Stab his hand were in a flurry as tears rolled down his face there he was sitting on top of the body repeatedly thrusting his kunai into the body of his attacker, stab after stab. He stopped rested his head on the body as tears flew, starting slowly before breaking forth in flooding down his faces. He looked at the sky as survival turned to rage, he screamed. Why was the world so cruel, why was the world so merciless. In response the first drops of rain started falling, did the world regret the event it has caused today? No one would ever know the answer but as his surrounding fell silent all that could be heard being carried by the wind was the sobs of a man who had just been forced to kill his best friend.
He heard a cough as he looked into the eyes of the man who had tried to kill him, he saw the eyes dull as life quickly faded the rest of his life would be burdened by the words last spoken.
"I w-wish, I had the strength to have ended y-our life" he forced out and the last remaining light faded from his eyes, he had truly passed away.
He looked upon the heavens still screaming, his own eyes spun changing shape, responding in glee to the event that had just taken place. He had achieved the next level of Sharigan at the cost of his best friend's life.
Shisui Uchiha had killed his best friend, Itachi Uchiha was no more.
"Oh Shisui the meeting has already ended why are you here" Fugaku asked looking over the boy, that when he noticed the blood.
"S-Shisui what happened? Where's Itachi" he asked fearing the worst, just what could have happened to put Shisui in a state like this, he pondered but as he looked into Shisui's eyes the truth became almost clear the distraught, the pain and sheer horror that graced his faith almost in itself answered for Shisui
"I-Ita Itac-" he stuttered he was still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened.
"Shisui what's wrong with my son, ANSWER ME DAMMIT" he spoke growing visibly angry, he could taste it. As a matter of fact he already knew but he knew he would have to hear the words, to hear the words and allow them to harden his heart.
"I-Itachi has betrayed the clan" those words literally broke Fugaku's heart, he had started to have growing suspicions of his son as of late. Noticing the change in attitude of his son was all but simple, after all no matter what anyone might say, Itachi was his first born he had high hopes for him and no change would occur unnoticed. It began slowly small insubordination that betrayed that the love for his village was now starting to overtake the love for the clan. The coldness he had started displaying to his family had pointed Fugaku to this conclusion however up until this point he did not want to accept it but everything was clear to Fugaku now. Konoha had brainwashed his son, making him hate his own family.
"I see" he said seconds flew by, turning into minutes. Shisui couldn't find his own voice so he let the older Uchiha think, let him digest the fact that his favourite son was now dead and he was the one that delivered the blow. As Shisui watched he watched a Fathers eyes turn dim and true hatred form underneath, some might no notice the change but his son death was truly a catalyst for the creation of a monster.
"I-I'm S-sorry Fugaku, he just came af-" Shisui attempted to explain, it was at that moment Shisui was truly scared. Was this anger going to be turned to him?
"There is no need for explanation, I should have seen this coming. Damn you KONOHA" he shouted on top of his voice unable to control his anger at this point
"What do we do now? Do we cancel our plans" Shisui questioned
"No. It is now a bigger necessity for us to do this than it was before" he said "Gather every Uchiha here quickly, Konoha falls tonight!"
There four sat their lives bonded together by an everlasting bond forged through war, each of them changed harshly by the war, each of them knowing the true meaning off loss and sadness. Danzo Shimura, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all of them sat in an awkward silence as the pressure built in the room, things weren't going to plan. Itachi should have reported back by now or at least signal them after doing a grave deed, if unable they still should have received news due to their Anbu discovering what had happened and reporting immediately. Things were very wrong indeed, had the Anbu not yet discovered the seen which in this case was bad for village security. A whole clan gets massacred and still no word of report or could Itachi have failed to kill Shisui? Could Shisui have triumphed over Itachi, such a task seemed impossible?
Itachi since he was a child was always renowed as being the most gifted Uchiha of his time, just how could he have been beaten, if he had been beaten. Taking this as the worst case scenario they looked at each other as they all shared a thought. If Shisui did survive he no doubt has more loyality to the Uchiha clan which was bad news for them, Itachi had not been crucial to their plan of eliminating the Uchiha before but after he seemingly volunteered all plans had centred on his success. Negotiation with Fugaku at this point would be nothing but futile as even before his demands were far too great for them to be taken seriously. Surely if not his drive to maintain his clan's position didn't move him towards fighting, the fury at losing his son would do so instead, this was truly the worst case scenario.
"It looks to me that Itachi has failed" Danzo spoke
"Surely not there must be another explanation" Homura commented
"Indeed Itachi couldn't have failed" Koharu added
"Although I would like to hope for the best I have to side with Danzo on this, we must now prepare for the worst case scenario. Which would be Itachi was killed and the Uchiha clan is now aware of our attempt to wipe them out" Hiruzen replied
"Then in which case they might speed up their rebellion and if they are really planning a coup d'état then we will be weakened to the point where the other great ninja villages will try capitalize on this and would bring about the destruction of Konoha." Danzo said
"I see we have one choice of action, Garrison the-" Hokage was about to say until interrupted by Shunshin. Before he could demand what the meaning of this, he noticed his ninja bleeding and clutching his left shoulder.
"Lord Hokage it's the Uchiha they've reb-" he couldn't finish
"I see Garrison the troops, let's do what Itachi failed to do. Exterminate the Uchiha." Hokage said firmly he would defend his village.
Happiness, seemed to have revolved around her all her life. Her parents weren't too nice, weren't too strict but nonetheless allowed her freedom and flexibility whilst providing a gentle hand into modelling her into what they wanted her to be. They wanted her to be happy, I mean who wouldn't want that for their children? To allow the gentleness of her spirit to flow while she was still a child, because in this world even the most innocent can be turned into monsters.
Emotions flew through her Panic, fear and fright, at this point she could try say she was frightened but if you were a 7 year old girl how could you be anything but with all the chaos that was erupting around the village. Complete and utter chaos reigned as everyone ran for their lives, pushing, shoving no care was given for fellow human beings as long as their survival was ensured. There she was curled in a ball in an alley hoping she would live to see another day, something no child should have to experience. At this point she might not have understood but the worst part of this experiencing was not understanding why it was happening.
"Hey little one, for what it's worth I'm sorry" the man uttered his red eyes piercing the dark alley. He walked toward her shaking even harder than she was as he could barely grip his own kunai, with each step he felt the world add more and more pressure upon his shoulders. He grabbed her hair as she started squirming in his grip.
"May god have mercy on our souls" with that hit slit her throat allowed her to leave the world quickly.
That little girl was the first victim of the coup, that little girl might not even be the last. Whether the Uchiha won at this point didn't matter, would they be able to look themselves in the eye afterwards however?
She was the first victim of not just a coup but of also war!
