I'm starting a series of unrelated song-fics. Most will be romance with various Naruto pairings but I decided to start it off with one for my absolute favorite bad-ass, Itachi.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto, any characters there of, or the song For You nor do I make any profit from this fic. The song belongs to the band Staind.

Chapter 1 For You
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Itachi crouched on top of the pole looking down at the Uchiha district. He hated what he was about to do but there really was no choice.
To my mother
To my father
It's your son
or
It's your daughter
Are my screams
Loud enough for
You
to hear me
Should I turn this up for you?
It wouldn't be necessary to do this had his parents just listened to him but they wouldn't hear of it. Itachi might not be doing this if his parents had sheltered him the way a child should be but having been pushed to become a perfect shinobi and exposed to the hell of war at such a young age he refused to see something like that again and he'd be damned before he let Sasuke get caught in a war so young. Now it had come down to this, the end of the Uchiha clan by one of their own. Itachi lept down from the pole and began his mission. The first throat he cut was that of his uncle.
I sit here locked
inside my head
Remembering every word you said
This silence
gets us no where
Gets us no where
Way too fast
Itachi dashed through the streets and homes focusing on simply taking the lives of his family while thinking of his father's stubborn refusal to speak to the council and his mother's stalwart support of the man who didn't care that he would be the cause of another war.
The
silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But
you don't know
How to listen
And let me make
My decision
I
sit here locked inside my head
Remembering every word you
said
This silence gets us no where
Gets us no where
Way too
fast
Perhaps if Fugaku hadn't dismissed Itachi's suggestion, if he hadn't tried to force loyalty to the coup through disapproving and dismissive silence, then the Uchiha clan might have continued living. Itachi saw Madara slicing through the crowds of Uchiha shinobi like a hot kunai through butter out of the corner of his eye as he dashed towards his home to take out the coup's figurehead, his father.
Itachi finished his mother off when she tried to protect Fugaku, once again refusing to listen to reason when Itachi asked her to refrain and live to take care of Sasuke. His father was killed with one swift, efficient slice of his katana.
All
your insults
And your curses
Make me feel like I'm not a
person
And I feel like I am nothing
But you made me so do
something
Cause I'm fucked up
Because you all
Need
attention
Attention you couldn't get
Itachi stood stock still looking down on the bodies of his parents. He felt nothing, an empty void where guilt, sorrow, and grief should be. If anything he felt a grim satisfaction, he'd ended it despite his father's certainty that he was too soft to truly be a ruthless killer. And to think that his fool of a father had brought about his own demise by his refusal to compromise. Fugaku had been so consumed with the desire for power that he hadn't cared that his actions would start a war that could destroy Konoha and possibly even claim the lives of his sons. So the eldest of those sons, the one who had seen such war once and never wished to see it again, had taken the steps to keep Konoha safe.
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering
every word you said
This silence gets us no where
Gets us no
where
Way too fast
Now Itachi stood waiting to implement the last of his plan to ensure the safety of his little brother. He would not let Sasuke's memory of their parents be tarnished by the truth. Instead he would take all the hatred that the boy was capable of upon himself and remain silent about his true reasons and intentions. Eventually Sasuke would become strong enough to protect himself and then Itachi would finally be able to rest.
