DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto, the plot, or its characters. I will only have one disclaimer for the entire story.
A/N: Hey, this is my first fanfiction. I hope that you guys will review it for me so I can improve my writing. Thanks! Also, I realize that all the ages are wrong. I have sketchy internet connections, so I couldn't load the Naruto Wikipedia (which is by the way an excellent source when checking for accuracy of information). Also, nobody knows that Itachi was ordered to massacre the Uchiha Clan.
Chatter 1: The introduction.
Forest of Death, training ground 44
"Foolish otouoto. You still have much to learn." Itachi was steadily strolling to Sakura Haruno, Mangekyo constantly on Sasuke Uchiha.
"Damn it! Don't drag her into this! She's just my teammate, so LEAVE HER ALONE!"
With that, Sasuke's Mangekyo appeared, threatening his older brother, the Uchiha prodigy-turned mass murderer.
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
"SAKURA!"
Her teammates and ex-sensei yelled out to her, but she couldn't hear anything. She was already within the Tsukuyomi. Once within the Tsukuyomi, she looked around, desperately trying to escape, though she already knew that there was no way out. She could clearly see Itachi Uchiha, and the scarlet skies.
"I will not hurt you, unless your actions warrant an offensive strike." claimed the Uchiha.
"Bullshit! Let me go! I have done nothing to you!" she snarled.
"I'm sorry Sakura-san, but I must restrain you for 72 hours so that you may listen to my story. It is imperative that you do not interrupt." Itachi calmly replied.
"…why aren't you attacking me yet?" Sakura questioned.
"I have no reason to. Listen to my story, and you will understand my reasons for my actions, and I believe that you are essential to my plan to stop Madara Uchiha. And before you inquire as to whom he is, I request that you listen to my story first."
"Fine."
"Let me begin from the time of the Shodaime, and of Konohagakure. I believe that you, ranking highest in your Academy class, will remember the beginnings of our village, do you not?"
"Of course I do. Madara Uchiha was the head of the Uchiha Clan, and the Shodaime was the head of the Senju clan. The Senju clan offered peace to the Uchiha Clan, and everyone in the clan except for Madara agreed…Am I correct so far?"
"Yes, Sakura-san. I will explain the rest. You know that they battled in the Valley of the End?" Sakura nodded. "I see. Then you know that there are two statues? One of the Shodaime, and one of Madara Uchiha. You also believe that Madara Uchiha had died during the battle, and that knowledge came from the Shodaime himself." Sakura slowly nodded her head once again, confused as to what he was leading to, digesting what the Uchiha heir had said.
"Sakura-san. We both already know that Orochimaru has an immortality jutsu. However, what you do not know is that Madara Uchiha is still alive, and that his immortality jutsu does not require him to have a new body, or vessel, every few years."
"…So what you're saying, is that same ancient man is still alive, and is trying to kill us?"
"Yes, that is partially correct. Madara Uchiha is trying to get revenge on Konoha because he believes that-"
"-the Uchiha clan deserves to have a higher position in the village. So, he made that 'Eternal Tsukuyomi' plan, and decided to take all the tailed beasts to make the ten-tailed beast in order to create what he called 'peace'? And created Akatsuki, and called himself Tobi?" Sakura interrupted.
"I see that Naruto-kun has explained Madara's intentions to you. He also had helped me massacre the Uchiha clan. However, what you don't know about the Massacre was that it was ordered by the Hokage and the council as the one S-class mission I would ever take. I am the contact in Akatsuki that Jiraiya-sama had. Madara Uchiha is the biggest problem in the history of the hidden villages. The easiest solution would be to stop him."
"Well…how do we do that?" Sakura asked.
"The issue with the solution is that…there actually is no way to stop Madara in the present time. I know that this is very shocking to you, Sakura-san, but I have proof. The only bijuu left to capture is Naruto-kun's Kyuubi. From what I have researched, the only way to unseal the Kyuubi from Naruto-kun is to kill him, taking out all of the chakra from his body." Itachi sighed.
"Wait…Then why are you talking to me, if we are going to be under an eternal genjutsu?" Sakura commented.
"Notice how I had said 'present time'. If you could go to the past, theoretically, one could stop Madara from going into power." Itachi said.
"What? That's not even possible. Time travel? Nuh-uh. Maybe Ibiki should examine you. I can already tell that you need an analysis of your psyche." Sakura laughed.
"Before you claim that time travel is impossible, remember that the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze, used a space-time jutsu, and that Madara Uchiha is also capable of using a space-time jutsu. I have created such jutsu that will send you back in time, instead of slowing time. Almost like Kakashi-san's Kamui. It must be completed under specific conditions-" Itachi started to cough, blood splashing onto his hand.
"I do not-"he coughed again. "-have enough time left. This is partially why I brought you into my Tsukuyomi. The jutsu I have created will take my life, but it is a sacrifice I must make. Do you understand? You may only have one chance to do this correctly. Also, I sacrifice my Sharingan to you. I have found a way to seal them, so that you may activate them upon will. Please. You must complete this task I give you or the world we know-"he coughed more violently, blood pouring out of his mouth. "-will cease to exist."
"What? Wait now?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Yes… I do not have much longer. Please. I will begin by removing my Sharingan." Itachi coughed.
Itachi Uchiha, the grand master of the Sharingan, second only to Madara Uchiha, gave up his eyes. Sealing them, he implanted them into Sakura's eyes, completing hand signs so quickly; she did not know what he did.
"I have stolen this from the Naka Shrine, where the secrets of the Uchiha clan are. My Sharingan will direct you to the shrine."
He began the hand signs. Ram. Boar. Ox. Horse. Tiger, Rat. Dragon. Ram. Tiger. Horse. Ox.
"Wait, I want to say goodbye to Naru-"Sakura tried to finish her sentence.
"Goodbye, Sakura Haruno-san." Itachi smiled.
The scarlet swirled, and a light blue, almost like a Hyuuga's Kaiten, made Sakura dizzy, and as she clutched at her head, she fell out of consciousness.
In front of Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi, Sakura disappeared, and Itachi closed his eyes, bloody tears tracking down his face.
"YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO TO SAKURA-CHAN?"
"I must take my leave."
"Wait a minute. Kakashi, look at his eyes! There's no more chakra there…at all! Don't you dare leave yet Itachi!"
Itachi ran away, depending on his senses in order to escape. After 7 exhausting hours, he collapsed on the ground, against a tree.
A/N: I know, I know…stupid ending right there…but It's my first time, so I'm not really sure as to what to write. I did this until 4 AM, so I'm bound to have plenty mistakes. I hope that you review my story!
