A/N: After this story I will be writing another version of it as I couldn't decide on two endings I wanted about my O.C. That's all!
PROLOGUE
Hello I'm Asuka Sayako and I work for the "Konoha Chronicles" publication as a journalist and writer. For the past few years now, we at the "Konoha Chronicles" publication have been assigned to gather, investigate, research and keep records of the events leading up to the tragic and shocking massacre of one of the most powerful and oldest noble clans to come out of the hidden leaf village-the Uchiha clan. This is for a series of publications on their lives until their deaths, for we are nearing the five-year anniversary here in Konoha of when it happened. The day the world woke up to the news that almost every member of the Uchiha clan had been butchered in a single night.
What was more shocking was that the mass murderer was one of its own sons and arguably one of the most powerful shinobi of the clan from the first Uchiha family; Itachi Uchiha. It should be said that from what I've researched, it is still unknown as to what drove Itachi Uchiha to kill everyone in his clan with the exception of his younger brother who was later discovered lying in a street the next day. He has refused to say why Itachi spared his life but killed the rest of the Uchiha. But he has said that he would one day go and kill his older brother.
On my side however I have focused my work on one of the more other prominent shinobi of the clan; more specifically a young woman named Misaki Uchiha who happened to be the girlfriend of the killer, as I will be publishing a book called 'Dear Diary' based on her own writings in her diary she had kept. I am near publishing my book about Misaki Uchiha in honour of her memory. So nearing the five-year anniversary I have requested the last known survivor of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha who personally lost his aunt, uncle and parents Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, chief of the clan, to read and review the manuscript in memory of his clan. After many attempts and rejection, he finally agreed to read it.
Upon arriving to meet with the young Sasuke who is now thirteen years old and about to graduate from the academy and become a genin, I already notice the tone and mood couldn't be more poignant on us. He feels it too that we're nearing the day his life and Konohagakure's lives changed forever.
So as I meet with the boy at the memorial museum dedicated to his clan in downtown Konoha, I introduce myself to him and he nods his head. I've always understood this young Sasuke to be quite serious unlike other kids his age, but then again they didn't have their childhoods stolen from them. It might be a result of him having to grow up before his time.
I explain to him about this book I've made in a diary format that I've compiled from years of investigation into the massacre all told inside my book from one of the saddest points-Itachi's girlfriend Misaki who was one of the village's most valuable kunoichi of her age and much-loved throughout her community especially among younger kunoichi who aspired to be like her; which was all the more tragic. I don't have to tell him this; I know he knows about her. I think this read is appropriate for him as it's not too personal, like from the point of his parents or doesn't concern him, like someone from his clan he didn't know. I hand Sasuke the manuscript I've been working on for years and he flips the pages and asks a curious question raising his eyebrow at me; one of his well-known broody mannerisms.
"Where did you get the information for the last chapter or day? Nobody was there but the people who were killed. Not to mention the personal accounts of when she was alone" he asks me sceptically. I can see he's doubting the authenticity of my work.
"I have been working tirelessly throughout the five years to gather information about the events leading up to the massacre. I've been working with everyone from forensics in the medical core to the ANBU black ops to countless interviews of Misaki's friends and close people to her to jutsu specialists and beyond who have been able to tell me how events unfolded on that fateful night. Also, Misaki had a habit of writing down her experiences in a diary she kept, which is what the book is based on" I assured him.
I can't exactly tell whether he takes me seriously yet but reading the diary will give him something to believe in, I can tell you that. For now anyway Sasuke opens the book at the very beginning with feelings that we both share… apprehension. If this book doesn't pass the test with the last Uchiha I have access to then no one will take it for what it is. He pauses to take a deep breath before reading the events I documented of the last week of a young woman's life that ended tragically before her time…
Dear Diary:
Her name is Misaki Uchiha. She loves dancing, her dead brother, her proud clan and hanging out with her friends and her boyfriend Itachi Uchiha. Lately she wondered why her boyfriend Itachi was acting so strangely for some time now. But little did she know that when he was busy loving her; he was also plotting to kill her and their entire clan. This is her story...
