Hello, this is my second fanfic. It's safe to say I don't own Naruto or Inuyasha. Please review. Thank you!
The Lost Uchiha Twin
1
Gone
Uchihas were supposed to be arrogant, snobbish, high-class shinobi who all had an ego problem and seemed like there was a stick up the ass of each stuck up member. Uchihas certainly had power, intelligence, and looks, not to mention their infamous kekkei genkai, the Sharingan.
Now it so happens that Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Mikoto, the wife of the head, were the proud parents of a pair of similar twins. They were almost identical, from the tops of their near-hairless heads to the tips of their tiny, wiggling baby toes. If not for the fact that one was a boy and one was a girl.
To say the twins were smart was an understatement. They were beyond smart, far more intelligent than any other Konoha shinobi at that age. To put it precisely, they were only four and they already knew many words of the shinobi world.
When they were enrolled into the Academy at the age of six, they were instantly attacked by mobs of squealing, yelling, giggling, shoving, snarling, useless, hopeless, flirty, audacious, cowardly, weak, incessant, crying, screaming, obsessed, evil, terrible, lusting, insane fangirls and fanboys.
Luckily the twins had enough sense to evade them for a few days, but after that, they were chased almost to the near point of them both cracking and going on a rampage. They came quite close a few times, but one always stopped the other.
The boy was glad his twin sister was there for him. And visa versa with the girl. The twins were inseparable. Most of the time, one would usually see them stuck together like magnets. One would not see a twin without the other.
By now, I'm sure you already know the siblings' names. Yes, indeed. The boy is Uchiha Itachi. Such a laughing, smiling, happy-go-lucky child he was back then with his sister. The girl is Uchiha Kagome. She adored her younger (by like ten minutes) brother and cared for him greatly.
Over the past several months, before they turned six, the twins noticed that their mother's belly was getting round. Itachi asked his father why his mother was suddenly fatter than she normally was. Kagome stuck by his side, both twins peering curiously into the stern face of their father, their innocent obsidian eyes glittering with inquisitiveness.
"Father, why is Mother fat?" Itachi asked.
Fugaku snorted into his teacup quietly at Itachi's question. "She's not fat, it's just that she's pregnant," he answered.
"Pregnant?" Kagome jutted in.
"It's a term used for women when they are carrying a child inside of them. An embryo that slowly forms into a human baby. When it is ready to be born, your mother will go to the hospital. In approximately six months you will have a new sibling," Fugaku explained.
"Itachi, what gender do you think it's gonna be?" Kagome asked, consulting her twin brother.
"I think it's going to be a boy," Itachi said.
"Really? I have a funny feeling you're going to be right," Kagome said. "Me too. Father, what do you think?"
"If it is a boy, I hope he'll turn out like you, Itachi. If it's a girl, I hope she'll turn out like you, Kagome," Fugaku replied. He got up from the mat. "It's time for you two to go to the Academy."
The twins jumped up and raced to their room. They shared a room together because they insisted so. When they were finished dressing and packing, Mikoto handed them their bento boxes and off they went.
A month later, on July 23, Fugaku carried Mikoto to the hospital and within seven hours, the baby was born. The medic nins cleaned it up and presented it to the tired mother and the anxious father.
"Congratulations, Uchiha-sama. You have a beautiful baby boy," the medic nin said.
Kagome and Itachi were right, Fugaku mused, smiling. Those two…
While Mikoto was resting, Fugaku told one of the nurses to go fetch his two children from the Academy. She bowed and hurried to said building. The sensei had just finished his lesson when she came in.
"I'm sorry, but could I borrow Uchiha Itachi and Kagome?" she asked.
She got a curious glance from the six-year-old twins. "Your father wants to see you at the hospital," she explained.
At once the two sprinted down the aisle and passed the nurse. They were out of the door before the sensei could say a word.
The nurse quietly exited the door, leaving the room quiet. She came back to the hospital and saw a medic nin guiding the Uchiha twins to their parents.
"Father, what gender is it?" Itachi asked, walking into the door with Kagome by his side.
Fugaku chuckled. "He's a boy," he replied. "You two were right."
The twins beamed. "Father, what will you name him?" Kagome inquired.
The Uchiha clan head thought about it for a moment. He turned to the sleeping bundle in his arms. "His name will be Sasuke," he said after a while.
The twins peered curiously at the tiny head that poked out from the blankets. "Uchiha Sasuke, I hope you'll be a strong shinobi. Follow your path and try to surpass me and Itachi," Kagome whispered softly to the bundle.
The baby gurgled in his sleep and shifted slightly. "That's enough of seeing him now. Itachi, Kagome, you may go back to the Academy," Fugaku said, dismissing his two children.
"I hope Sasuke grows up to be strong," Itachi said, racing his twin sister back to the Academy.
"Don't be so worried, he will. Itachi, have you heard of someone named Orochimaru?" Kagome asked, keeping her pace in time with her brother's.
"I heard Father talk to the clan elders about him once. By what they say, I have come to a conclusion that this Orochimaru guy is evil," Itachi said. "They say they recently caught Orochimaru conducting live human experiments on a jutsu for immortality."
"That's awful! What sick person would use live humans in an experiment for immortality?" Kagome exclaimed.
Itachi kept a slightly grim face facade up and Kagome did not insist on prying the answers out. They entered the classroom door and made their way back to their seats, moving quietly so as not to interrupt the lesson.
At the end of the day, when they were back in their room after eating a dinner that Mikoto had made before going to the hospital, Kagome confronted Itachi.
"So what else do you know about this Orochimaru guy?" Kagome asked.
Itachi racked his brains for a suitable answer. "Well, Old Man Sarutobi just retired from his Hokage position and chose a new Hokage to replace him as the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha. Orochimaru wanted to be chosen by his sensei as the new Hokage, but sadly, Sandaime chose Namikaze Minato. He fled from Konoha after they caught him and his human experiments," he answered slowly.
"Well, serves him right, he's too evil to be Hokage," Kagome huffed.
After a few days, Mikoto was checked out of the hospital. She, Fugaku, and Sasuke came home. Kagome and Itachi were out practicing their shuriken training in a secluded area.
Kagome set up ten targets in random spots in the clearing and stood back to watch. Itachi pulled out ten shuriken and flung them at each target, hitting the dead center each time.
Then they switched. Itachi set up the targets and Kagome flung the four-sided projectiles. Like her younger brother, she hit them all in the exact center.
"Kagome, how about we practice our Katon jutsus now?" Itachi suggested.
"Sure, nothing better to do," Kagome said, shrugging. She clapped her hands together and closed her eyes to concentrate.
Suddenly her eyes flashed open and she whipped through a sequence of hand seals at incredible speed that would make even a Jounin jealous. "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" She took a deep breath and breathed out a huge fireball that decimated an entire section of the forest.
When the fire disappeared, Kagome turned to her brother. "Your turn to do a Katon Jutsu, Itachi," she said, stepping back.
Itachi focused on which one he wanted to do. He sped through the hand seals like the wind and did the jutsu while shouting its name out, "Katon: Karyuu Endan!"
A stream of flames poured out of his mouth, shaped like a dragon, annihilating whatever was leftover from Kagome's fire jutsu.
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" Numerous fireballs burned down another section.
"Katon: Kajirashi no Jutsu!" A whirling storm of flickering flames obliterated another section.
"Itachi, I think we should head back now," Kagome said, sweatdropping as she look at all the destruction they did.
"Okay," he replied.
"But first…Doton: Tsudainaori no Jutsu!" At once everything they destroyed with their fire jutsus sprang back to life, as if nothing happened.
Itachi stared at his twin sister. "How did you do that? I've never heard of this "Tsudainaori" technique," he asked, walking back to the Uchiha compound with her.
"I learned it from a scroll I found in the scroll room while you were asleep. I actually made a copy of each and every scroll and jutsu in the room that I could find. I hid the real ones in a place that only I know where they are and left the copies in the scroll room," Kagome explained.
Itachi was stumped. His sister was on a whole different level than him. She was smarter than all the rest of the clan put together. Inwardly he was puzzled to no end.
"Kagome, can you teach me some of those jutsus you copied from the scrolls?" Itachi asked.
"Maybe. When everyone is asleep, I'll wake you up and show you where I put them," she replied.
They reached the Uchiha manor and found Fugaku waiting at the gate outside. "There you are! Dinner's ready," he greeted them with a small smile.
The twins nodded and raced into the house. Seating themselves at the table, they noticed Mikoto nursing baby Sasuke. She looked up when they entered. "Hello, Kagome, Itachi," she said, smiling.
"Hello, Mother," the twins chorused. They dug into their food, but used their manners when they ate.
Later that night, when the twins were sure everyone in their clan were cozy and snug in their sleep, they slipped outside of the Uchiha compound and Kagome led Itachi to the Nakano Shrine. There, instead of the seventh mat, she lifted up the third mat, and exposed a plain stone floor underneath.
But if you looked closer, there was a tiny seal in the picture of a near-microscopic fan, the Uchiha clan symbol. Kagome bit her thumb and pressed the blood to the seal.
The dragon glowed for a split second, and the stone floor disappeared the next, leaving a set of stairs going down. Kagome began the descent down. Itachi looked around quickly before following her.
When they reached the secret room, Itachi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The entire room, save for a few empty spots here and there, was stacked with scrolls of all sorts.
"The Uchiha clan has this many scrolls?!" Itachi exclaimed.
Kagome nodded and picked one up. She unraveled it and set it on the floor. "Uchiha Clan Hijutsu: Tsutsumikakushi no Jutsu!" she chanted, clapping her hands together and slamming them on the ground.
Itachi heard a slight rumble form behind him. He whipped around and saw that the stone was back in place. "How do we get out then, Kagome?" he asked.
"We'll train here until dawn," she said, ignoring his question.
She went over to a wall where it wasn't blocked by scrolls. Itachi barely heard her whisper, "Kaihou nanitozo Uchiha kyousei." (Open please Uchiha great)
The stone wall turned into a sliding door and Kagome slid it open. It was a huge training area. "It's damage proof, so nobody can feel anything from above, nor can this room be destroyed. It is also sound proof, so nobody can hear what's going on inside," Kagome explained.
"How did you find this place? How did you obtain the secrets?" Itachi asked.
Never one to keep anything from her twin, Kagome told him how it happened.
Flashback Start
Kagome stared at the moon glowing softly in the dark night outside. I can't sleep…what should I do? she thought. After a few more minutes, she was too frustrated to sleep any longer.
Kagome quietly sneaked out of the room and began to wander the hallways, being as quiet as she could. She discovered many things.
The forbidden door next to their parents' room…where did it lead? Kagome sneaked to the door and found that the handle was chained with a lock. She groaned quietly when she found that it was a numeral combination lock. Taking a deep breath, she began to work on the combination.
After a couple of tries, the lock clicked and Kagome swung the door open. She gasped softly at the incredible sight. Almost every inch of the room was filled from top to bottom with jutsu scrolls on ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.
Kagome flitted about the room, copying every single scroll and jutsu in the room. She then slipped out of the room and closed the door, but not fully. She ran to the Nakano shrine and began to search for a hiding place suitable for all the scrolls.
At last she revealed the tiny Uchiha seal underneath the third mat to the left. She wondered what she was supposed to do to it. An idea popped into her head, Is it a blood seal?
She bit her thumb and pressed the bleeding spot on the fan. At once the stone floor disappeared, leaving a set of stairs leading down. Curiosity bested her, and Kagome walked down.
She found a large room appropriate for storing jutsu scrolls in. She examined the entire room, and revealed its only secret. A small niche in the stone wall on the left showed a sliding spot. Kagome found an old, dusty scroll in there.
"To access the Uchiha secret training area, whisper the words 'Kaihou nanitozo Uchiha kyousei' to the Uchiha seal next to this slot."
Kagome found the tiny Uchiha crest on the wall and whispered the exact words. The stone wall reformed into a sliding door. When Kagome slid it open, she was greeted with the sight of the gargantuan training area.
She drank in all the sights of the training area she could. The distinct outline of faded words was carved into a wall. She walked over to it, curious to see what it said.
"Those with sagacity will lead a new generation into the light and bring joyous emotion. Those with greedy ambitions will gain nothing yet lose everything. Those with neither will remain neutral until a side is chosen to break the tension."
Kagome understood the meaning of those words. "I should bring all the original scrolls to the other room," she said, walking back up the stairs after exiting.
She brought all the scrolls to the secret room after making six trips. She covered the stone floor with the tatami mat, knowing that the stone floor would be back in place. She made sure that all the copies were in their places in the scroll room before closing it and making sure that the lock had never been opened.
Feeling a little tired, Kagome snuck back into her room and climbed into the soft bed. She instantly dropped off to sleep when she hit the pillow.
Flashback End
"So that's how you found all this?" Itachi said, impressed with his sister.
She smiled at him and said, "Let's get started, no wasting time!"
"How will you know when it's dawn?" Itachi asked.
Kagome dug into one of her pockets. Her pale hand emerged with a flat disk, which was currently black and stated in clear white letters 'NIGHT'.
She attached the disk to a wall and set it to let out a small beep to alert them when it was dawn. "This "Time Period" disk will help us," she said. "Now let's go train."
For the next five hours, the two practiced their jutsu until they both couldn't hold up anymore from exhausting almost the entire supply of their chakra.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"
"Suiton: Yuki Arashi no Jutsu!"
"Raiton: Chakyaira Rakurai!"
"Katon: Karyuu Endan!"
"Doton: Tsuchitate!"
"Aisu Tatsumaki no Jutsu!"
Yes, these two were absolutely smart and powerful. They would have practiced more, but they were almost out of chakra and it was approaching dawn.
With the last bit of their strength, the twins staggered to their room and fell asleep as soon as their bodies hit the bed.
When Fugaku came in to wake up his children, he chuckled when he found them cuddled together with peaceful expressions on their faces. His twins really couldn't be seen without one or the other. Not even in bed. One of the only opportunities that they saw the twins apart was…when they showered. One would be seen patiently waiting outside while the other took the shower.
A few more months passed and Kagome and Itachi became an unbeatable pair. Well, they could still be defeated by the higher-ranking shinobi of the village, but they were prodigies with the strength of the entire village doubled in the eyes of their clan.
Then…the fateful day came.
October 10, Kagome and Itachi were busy helping their mother take care of and guard Baby Sasuke while Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox annihilated the village and killed many shinobi.
Kagome couldn't stand hiding anymore. She hated missing out on the action, so she told Itachi she would venture out to the disastrous world. "I'm coming with you!" Itachi announced, getting up.
"No, your father told you to stay here," Mikoto said firmly. "And we mustn't disobey him; it's very dangerous out there."
"Mother, Father said I was a prodigy. I'm strong, and I'll prove it!" Kagome said, running out the door.
"Kagome, wait for me!" And with a hasty wave to his mother, he ran after his twin sister. I hope those two will be okay, Mikoto thought, listening to the sounds of disaster that drifted into the manor.
Kagome was running towards Kyuubi. She whipped her hands together, "Doton: Tsudainaori no Jutsu!" She slammed her hands on the ground and instantly everything that was destroyed came back undamaged.
Kyuubi roared its battle cry and squashed another band of Konoha shinobi under one paw. "We must hold it off before Lord Hokage gets here!"
"Aaaaaagh!" One of Kyuubi's nine tails slammed into the ground, creating a massive earthquake that caused many shinobi to fly off their feet.
"Aisu Tatsumaki no Jutsu!" Kagome cried.
A grand tornado had formed from her chakra and was spinning into Kyuubi, grinding into the fox's massive body. Due to the sheer coldness of the tornado, Kyuubi's fur froze.
It turned angry red eyes to Kagome, who glared back without hesitation. "I'm not afraid of you!" she declared boldly.
"Kid, get back! You shouldn't be here!" One of the Jounin yelled, rushing past her.
"I'm going to help and you're not gonna stop me!" Kagome screamed.
Then a shadow loomed over them as a huge red toad hopped towards Kyuubi. "Hokage-sama!" cried the many shinobi, overjoyed at seeing their beloved Hokage take over.
Namikaze Minato was holding a bundle of blankets with a cute head of tiny blonde hair sticking out for air as he rode silently and seriously on Gamabunta.
He set the bundle down and tugged down some of the blankets to reveal the baby's stomach. He whipped through the hand seals that allowed him to use the forbidden jutsu of the Shinigami.
Minato had the Shinigami seize Kyuubi's soul and pull it out. It was a painful process, a battle between life and death. At last the soul was extracted and Minato sealed it into his newborn son.
However, right after he whispered words of goodbye to his son and heard the loud cheers from Konoha as the massive body of the demon fox fell, he died. The Shinigami had taken his soul as the toll.
The cheers of joy instantly turned into cries of disbelief. Because of the Kyuubi, Yondaime was dead.
Itachi searched the crowd for his sister. "Kagome!" he cried, running everywhere. "Kagome!"
After a futile 3-hour search, Itachi held back tears. His sister Kagome was nowhere in the village. Perhaps Kyuubi had killed her. Itachi refused to believe that the demon fox would kill his dear sister.
But nonetheless, he gave up the search, unable to locate Kagome anywhere. Fugaku returned to the manor only to find Itachi clinging to his mother and bawling his eyes out. This was the first time since he was barely 3 that Fugaku had seen his oldest son cry.
"Itachi, where's Kagome?" Fugaku asked gently.
That question only made Itachi sob harder. Mikoto had tears slipping down her face as well. "Fugaku, Kagome's missing. She ran outside to fight Kyuubi and Itachi combed all of Konoha to find her. He thinks she's dead now," she explained, trying not to choke on her own words.
Fugaku froze. "Kagome…my sweet little Kagome…is dead?" he whispered.
No, it wasn't possible. Fugaku, like Itachi, refused to believe it. "She can't be dead!" he shouted, running out of the manor and personally searching all through Konoha. He found nothing. No clues to even what happened to her.
In his desperation, he cornered some of the shinobi who fought against Kyuubi and lived. "Have you seen my little Kagome? She has black hair and obsidian eyes like Itachi," he asked.
Only one person he asked told him that he'd seen her. "She said she wanted to help. I tried to stop her, but she just rushed towards that demon. I didn't see her after," the Jounin Kagome had yelled at explained.
Fugaku wanted to scream in fury. Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, apparently killed his little girl. She never had the chance to prove her potential. She never would awaken the Sharingan.
Defeated, Fugaku returned to the Uchiha manor. Mikoto was standing by the window, holding Sasuke in her arms. "Why did it have to be this way?" she whispered, turning to her husband.
Fugaku had no answers. "Is Itachi all right?" he asked half-heartedly.
"After he stopped mourning the loss of Kagome, he went somewhere. I don't know where. He's not in his room," Mikoto said.
"We'll just have to wait for him to come back," Fugaku said, sitting down. "May I hold Sasuke?"
In truth, Itachi had gone to the Uchiha underground training room Kagome had shown him a few months prior. He vowed to her spirit that he would train hard and become the greatest shinobi in the world. "I promise you, Kagome, no one will defeat me," he said.
The Uchihas went to Sandaime the next day and requested a funeral service to be held for their beloved Kagome, even though they'd never found her body.
All of Konoha came to the funeral of Uchiha Kagome. Most of them mourned the loss of a great prodigy and shinobi. The others silently prayed for her safe passage to the next world.
Itachi, who took Kagome's "death" the hardest, spiraled into an endless depression that affected the rest of the clan. He locked up his emotions and trained hard.
June 9 came around next year, but Itachi remained cold and indifferent. Nothing could peel off the frozen mask of Uchiha Itachi. His emotionless facade was set up so that he could hide his true pain. The warmth of his bed when he slept was now lessened by a great amount.
Sasuke began to grow. The next five years, Itachi spent his time training, protecting Sasuke, and making use of his newly acquired Sharingan. He was already a Jounin in Konoha.
Sasuke often wondered where his brother disappeared to. Once he accidentally stumbled into Itachi's room when his older brother was on a mission and found a picture next to his bed with a five-year old Itachi along with another girl who looked to be Itachi's twin.
But I don't have a sister. Maybe they were friends when Itachi was younger, Sasuke thought. How wrong he was.
When Itachi came back from his mission, Sasuke ran up to him and greeted him. "Itachi-niisan!" he hugged his brother.
"Hello, Sasuke," Itachi said, returning the greeting.
"Itachi-niisan, can I ask you a question?" Sasuke asked.
"You just did, but go ahead," Itachi said.
They went to the Sasuke's room to talk. "Itachi-niisan, do we have a sister?" he asked naively.
Surprise, anger, and sadness flickered through Itachi's obsidian eyes momentarily. "Sasuke, you wouldn't remember her because she died when you were just three months old," he said stiffly.
"So we did? Itachi-niisan, how did she die?" Sasuke inquired. He was curious. So the girl in the picture was Itachi and his sister.
"I thought you only wanted to ask a question not several, Sasuke," Itachi teased. Sasuke did not see it, but the humor did not reach Itachi's eyes.
"Well, I'm curious, who is she?"
Itachi turned to stare longingly out the window. "Uchiha Kagome…was my older twin sister. She died during the Kyuubi attack six years ago. Since then, we have been chary not to mention her. Sasuke, promise me something," Itachi said, not averting his gaze.
"Niisan?"
"Please don't follow my footsteps."
"Why, Itachi-niisan?"
"I don't want you to tread the same path as me. You're still innocent and naïve. I've already become a killer, emotionless and burdened with many responsibilities within the Uchiha clan. Promise me this, Sasuke," Itachi said softly.
Sasuke nodded solemnly. He knew this was a serious situation. "Itachi-niisan, the Academy entrance ceremony is in a week. Are you coming to see me?" he asked.
"No. Father will. I have an important mission next week to ensure I get into the Anbu. I'm sorry, Sasuke," Itachi sighed.
Sasuke pouted. "You're always busy, Itachi-niisan."
Four days later Itachi left to go to a secluded clearing he used for kunai and shuriken practice while activating his Sharingan. Sasuke followed him, curious to where his aniki was going.
Itachi took eight kunai out of his pouch and leaped into the air. He closed his eyes, activating the Sharingan behind his eyelids. He flung the kunai at his targets, throwing some to clash against others in order to make the center.
When he landed, his eyes opened, showing the infamous bloodline of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha doujutsu…the Sharingan.
Sasuke came out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. "Wow, Itachi-niisan, you even nailed that blind spot behind the rock!" he praised. He pulled out a few kunai and crossed his arms. "Now it's my turn!"
"Sasuke…we have to go now," Itachi said, looking slightly amused at his little brother's actions.
Sasuke frowned and narrowed his eyes. "You said you'd teach me something," he grumbled.
Itachi beckoned Sasuke to him. The six-year old thought Itachi had changed his mind and ran towards his aniki. What he didn't expect was for Itachi to hit him in the forehead with two fingers. "Sorry, Sasuke…not today."
Sasuke frowned again. "Check this out!" he said, crossing his arms with the kunai.
"Yaaaaah!" He charged at Itachi as quick as he could.
"Hey, you're going to yourself…"
Too late. Sasuke tripped and fell to the ground, twisting his ankle. He gritted his teeth so he wouldn't show his aniki that he was weak.
Itachi sighed. He bandaged Sasuke's ankle and took him home piggyback style. Kagome, I wish you were here with me, he thought wistfully.
Fugaku was at the gate. "You're late. Where were you?" he asked, looking at Itachi.
"Training."
"I have something to discuss with you. Come inside," he said, beckoning the both of them.
Inside the manor, Mikoto was cooking dinner. Fugaku motioned for both his sons to sit down. "Itachi, about the mission tomorrow…it's essential for making sure you make it into the Anbu. I've decided to go along," he said.
Sasuke looked surprised. But his Academy entrance ceremony was tomorrow! Itachi looked at Sasuke briefly. "You needn't worry so much. Besides…" he trailed off, glancing back to his otouto.
"Father, tomorrow's my – " Sasuke began.
"Tomorrow's mission will be important for the clan, too!" Fugaku interrupted.
Sasuke looked down. Itachi looked back to his father. Fugaku had become a little ignorant. "I'm not going on tomorrow's mission," he announced.
Fugaku was shocked. "Have you lost your mind?! You know how significant tomorrow is! What on earth are you saying?!" he said.
"Tomorrow I'm going to Sasuke's entrance ceremony," Itachi said. Sasuke was surprised. "It's customary for students' families to attend. You received the notice…Father?"
"All right, enough already, I'll go to the Academy tomorrow," Fugaku grumbled, getting up.
When they exited the room, Itachi turned to Sasuke as he walked away. "Make sure you put ice on that leg," he said.
He went back to his room and shut the door. He looked at the photo of his five-year old self with his twin sister. Kagome, are you really dead?
The next day Fugaku grudgingly attended the ceremony. Sasuke looked back and saw that his father seemed rather reluctant to be there.
The sensei greeted Fugaku. "Ah, is this little Sasuke who will be attending the Academy?" he said, looking at the young boy.
"Yes. You honor us by teaching our children," Fugaku said.
"Itachi and Kagome were my prized students, hardly had to teach them a thing. And Kagome knew a lot more jutsu than the rest of the class put together," the sensei said, chuckling.
A year went by, with Itachi turning 13 and Sasuke 7. Itachi now was Anbu Captain and was busier than ever. Sasuke went to practice shuriken at the Academy.
Itachi realized that now was his only chance to slaughter his clan. The other day, while Sasuke was asleep, he heard Fugaku say that they were going to kill the Kyuubi container and seal the Kyuubi within Sasuke. And kill Itachi.
And a week before that, Itachi was accused of murdering Uchiha Shisui. He didn't admit it, but he did because Shisui was an accomplice involved with Orochimaru. Itachi gained the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Within an hour, Itachi successfully slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan, including his parents. Mikoto had taken a blow for Fugaku, causing her death. Fugaku was slit across the throat and Itachi rammed his Anbu sword straight through the clan head's heart. Fugaku dropped like a rock on Mikoto's pale body.
The doors to the Uchiha dojo slid open and Sasuke came in, looking terrified. "Mother! Father!" he cried. He looked up at Itachi. "Itachi-niisan, Mother and Father are – "
Itachi sent a shuriken spinning at his otouto. He didn't want to kill Sasuke, as he had no part in the affairs. "Foolish little brother…" Itachi murmured.
"Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Sasuke experienced death images as he watched Itachi slaughter the clan over and over again. He screamed and cried and begged for his brother to stop.
Itachi chased Sasuke out and said, "You're not even worth killing now. You're pathetic! Hate me…detest me…clinging to life without honor. And when you have the same eyes as I, find me again."
Sasuke fainted. But he distinctly heard a voice whisper, "In the Nakano shrine, look under the seventh mat. There's a reason why we of the Uchiha clan have a doujutsu. After you look under the seventh, look beneath the third. There will be a small Uchiha seal you have to pay with blood. There will be a scroll room and a hidden underground training area. Be strong."
Itachi walked away, not looking back. He disappeared over the wall around Konoha and looked up at the sky. Kagome, what would you think of me now?
And so Uchiha Itachi, who single-handedly slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan save for Sasuke, vanished beyond the gates of Konoha, under the cover of the darkness.
