A Twist of Faith

Chapter I: In the Darkness

"In the darkness I stand alone. The only thing I see is black. On my neck a mark, indelible, a mark of evil. I was fated with this mark. Orochimaru, he gave it to me. I went to him to get power, but all I got was slavery. He used me for his own devices, and never gave me what I sought. I was lost in myself, to ignorant of my friends to notice that they really cared. Naruto, Sakura, Lee, Gaara... All of them, they wanted me to come back. But I knew I couldn't. Not with this mark upon my neck... I was slowly loosing myself to its alluring power, and realied more and more upon its power to help me win. All I wanted in this world was to avenge my parents, and kill the man that destroyed my clan. But now I am no better than he. I have abandoned Konoha, my home, and left my friends behind. I went into the darkness without a thought as to what would become of them. I have put the slash on my forehead protector, for I am an outcast now, one without a place to call home. What made me do this...? My brother! That man, Itachi, my brother was the one who drove me into the darkness... No, I did it myself. Consumed by the fires of hatred, and the ambition of the young. I regret my choice to turn to the one thing I wanted destroyed. I have become Him..."
