How does one describe the Uchiha Sasuke to the uninitiated? I will attempt the impossible if only to prepare your virgin mind. To put into mortal words what biology has translated into darkest perfection, it is an undertaking that threatens to overwhelm this unworthy one. Where shall I start? Shall I extol his god like physique? Laud his quicksilver mind and unimaginable power? Will I wax poetic about his arousing moodiness?
Let's be human about this.
No boy. . . boy? No it would be foolhardy to call him a boy. Man then. No man has ever been drenched with so much sensuality as he, leaving in his wake naught but stuttering, drooling mounds of female flesh whenever he strolls casually down the streets. Many a civilian woman and kunoichi have tried and failed to catch his eye which has led, inevitably, to speculation that perhaps his kunai flips the other way, if you catch my meaning. But I've heard tell that many a hard bodied shinobi have also attempted to steal his heart and warm his bed. Fruitless efforts though they were in the end. It seems a sin against all that is holy that one man be so blessed and yet so cold as to turn a blind eye to such attentions.
He possesses skin so smooth and flawless it must have been carved of marble, an alabaster so bright it leaves no doubt as to his noble heritage. Hair an ebony so pure it shines azure when the sun strikes it just so. Skills in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu matched by few and surpassed by fewer. But the truly captivating thing about him, are his eyes. Twin chasms that swallow all light unless they are burning with the Sharingan. A legacy of his clan. A legacy from the Mangekyo Sharingan which his brother used on him as a child with devastating results.
His entire family brutally murdered. The clan dojo, once a haven, turned into a maddening abattoir. It is enough to think that a stranger had dared accost them. It must have been torture to find that they were destroyed from within. By their own shining star. Uchiha Itachi. He was supposed to have been the next great leader of the clan. Instead he became their ruin. And when his crime was discovered by none other than his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, he granted him a fate worse than death. Using the Mangekyo Sharingan he forced Sasuke to relive every moment of the massacre over and over and over again. Without stop for what seemed like days. The feeling of helplessness inescapable, unbearable. Until madness was a welcome respite. Until the dream of one day taking revenge was the one and only pearl of hope that could be nurtured. Until at last it ended and he was released from the spell. Never to be the same.
Even that. . . a tragedy so profound does nothing but add to his allure.
How do you paint a nightingale's song? Uchiha Sasuke.
Author's note: Hah 500 words exactly. What is that called again? Meh whatever. Hope you enjoyed it. I plan on writing one for at least all of Team 7.
These are going to be character expositions that aren't really meant to include everything about their life. Maybe I'll do one about how he went to Orochimaru but maybe I won't.
