Not a Monster

I never imagined my life would have turned out this way. Killing all of the Uchiha's in Konoha for the sake of the village. Everyone with Uchiha blood running through their veins, all except three, my younger brother Sasuke, Madara, and myself.

I don't know why, I just couldn't bring myself to kill my innocent little brother, even under orders to prevent the Uchiha clan from taking over Konoha. Sasuke had nothing to do with the plans, he was still in the ninja academy, he was not a threat to anyone.

So I spared Sasuke, rather having him hate me for killing off the rest of our village, than have him dead. It might even help him become a better ninja, having something in mind to work for, to become good enough to defeat his legendary older brother.

I knew that since I had spared him, defining direct orders to spare no one, I knew I could no longer stay at the village. The plan was to make it look like rogue ninja came in killing all except Madara and I who were out with the black ops. But with Sasuke still alive he would tell who really did the killing.

I fled, hoping, preying Sasuke would be ok. That he would understand that the killing was done to protect Konoha. A small tear rolled down his face before he wiped it away, running into the dense forest surrounding Konoha.
