"The Blossom's Crow"
Prologue: Itachi Lives
Who could say what one should feel upon hearing the death of a loved one? That which you had learned had been a secret kept so well it brought about a force of destruction so fierce it shook the Heavens and made Hell cower? For Itachi Uchiha it was his plans that crumbled like sand towards the ground and blown away by the wind. He however, had a backup plan. He did not die that day even though it looked like he did. It was not him, a simple transfer and he sent a body using a replica hinge and left without a word. He knew Madara was close to the battlefield. And knew he would get to his younger brother before the leaf village. He ran to the leaf village and used his usual hinge to spy on the council and Danzo. You are probably wondering whose eyes Sasuke has if Itachi was in fact still alive. It was simple, they were his old eyes kept preserved for years. A simple preservation jutsu made sure of it.
No one would ever suspect a civilian merchant from the Land of Rice Patties. That was when Eiji Yojiro was born; he couldn't believe how well it worked. He also couldn't believe the emotions that stirred within him whenever a certain pinkette came into his store time and time again to buy herbs and specialty poisoning weapons. She often made jokes with him about him selling items to the Akatsuki member Sasori who she had defeated nearly over 2 years ago. Through the months he had found her company and presence enjoyable. She was highly intelligent and could keep his interest in the things she blabbed about. At first, she was someone who came and went, but through their talks, he realized something more was building inside of him. She was like a siren slowly drawing him in with exotic hair and beautiful emerald eyes.
The months past and they seemed to become really good friends. Itachi was usually wary of this. Being in a clan that did not care for outside influences does that to a person. Yet, the clan was gone and he could live how he wanted to. She first got suspicious of him when she noticed a crow always at the shop's roof. It never moved and watched people as they came and went. She was starting to get suspicious when said crow finally left one day only to appear at the hospital, training fields, or her house! This bird was following her, she was sure of it. Then the truth about Itachi, her mentor trusted her with this information before they decided to disband from the Leaf Village to overthrow Danzo. She told Eiji that everything she had heard of Itachi Uchiha was a lie and how unfair it was for his life to be destroyed.
This woman clearly had a golden heart that warmed the iciest of hearts and lit up the darkness with in people. That's when Itachi decided it was time to tell her who he was. He had to protect her much like he knew Naruto would, but he knew his brother really had no grasp to his strength. He took a deep breath asking her to wait a moment; he locked the shop door, switched the sign to closed, and led her to the backroom. It was time someone knew he was alive and well and that no one would touch his brother or the blossom currently walking in front of him. Maybe just maybe, plans have to go haywire before your true destiny shines. This is a tale of the new Uchiha Clan and it starts with the Blossom's Crow…..
