The Beginning
"Damn it," he whispered slowly. He is alone in the darkness in his room. He has failed. He failed to bring his best friend back. He failed to keep his promise. But, most of all, he has failed to see the reality.
He always thought that if he becomes the Hokage, people will respect him. He thought if he does something for this village, he'll be acknowledged. But, in reality none of it will happen.
Even if he manage to become the Hokage, who can guarantee that he'll be respected? Who can guarantee that the villager will not deny him as their leader?
Even when he managed to defeat Gaara, no one believes he did it. Everyone thought it was the last Uchiha that did it.
Sasuke's betrayal has opened his eyes to the reality. In this world, you can't believe in anyone, and he learned it in the hard way.
What good it is to protect a village that hates him to the very core? What good it is to stay in a place where no one respected him? Acknowledged him? … Love him?
He knew that there are some people in the village that acknowledge him, respect him, and love him for who he was, but he can't stay in this village. So, tonight, he'll go to a place where no one could find him and train until he can destroy Akatsuki and Otogakure with his own hands.
'A burden, huh?' she thinks inwardly. She lay on her bed, staring outside her window to the starry skies. Everything she has done, everything she has accomplice, is still not good enough? Is she really not worth praising?
She was tired to try to satisfy her father, to prove that she really is worth to be the Hyuuga heir. She was tired and hurt. She wanted to go, to disappear. She wanted to go to somewhere where no one could find her. She then move her sight to a small able near her. '11.56 pm, almost midnight...' she mused inwardly.
She then get up from her bed and walk toward the drawer. She snatches her back pack and few scrolls. She then began packing her stuff and left the Hyuuga compound. She then gives her clock one last glance before throwing a kunai and the clock stopped dead.
'If I'm a burden, then I should leave this place, right kaa-san? It's no use to stay in a place where everyone only sees me as a burden anyway. I want to please and make tou-san happy, but how? I've tried so many times only to fail. I'm tired; I want to find my own happiness. I'm not some kind of heroine in some fairytales that let go of her happiness just for the sake of others.' With that last thought, she left the compound and headed towards the gate.
The broken clock shows the time before it completely dead. It's 12.00 am
'Is this really is the right decision? Am I really sure I want to do this?' he thought. His stuff is already in his back pack. He is ready to leave whenever.
"You are the one that choose this decision, kit. Myself, I agree to whatever choices that you choose." The Kyuubi said wisely. Tightening his fist, he makes his decision.
'I've got to move on. I can't be myself in here. I have to go to somewhere else. I don't belong in here,' he thinks, "They'll banish me eventually, anyway." When the clock strikes twelve, he left in haste towards the gate.
Two years after their disappearance, the Akatsuki has been destroyed. No one knows who did it. The bodies of the member are founded in pieces. But, there's only few member, not all. The one that is founded has orange hair and piercing over his face. Nearby, other five bodies that have similar characteristic with him also founded. The other one has black and white skin, confirmed to be someone named Zetsu. A man with spiky black hair that wears broken swirl mask also founded there. He then later confirmed as the supposedly deceased Uchiha Madara. Pieces of the body that supposedly belonged to Kakuzu and Hidan also founded there.
But, they can't find the bodies of other members, like Hoshigaki Kisame, Akasuna no Sasori, Deidara and Uchiha Itachi. No one could really tell what happened to them. They were all just missing from the face of the earth, also with the one that destroyed Akatsuki. All of them gone without a trace. Some said that the one that destroyed Akatsuki destroy their body to the sizes smaller than dust. Some said that they joined the one that bring Akatsuki's destruction, and some said they managed to escape after the fight happens, but no one really knows.
The word about Akatsuki's destruction reached Sasuke's ears right after he formed team 'Hebi'. He decides to go to Konoha for confirmation, along with the team he has formed.
Outside the Konoha border, he encounters few of his 'friends', which is Kiba, Chouji, Shikamaru and Neji. Intense silence past across them before Shikamaru speak up.
"Well then, I suppose we don't have to look for you anymore, Uchiha," he said. Sasuke stare at them suspiciously.
"Uchiha Sasuke, the Godaime Hokage would like to see you," Shikamaru said again. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that. "See me? I'm no longer shinobi of Konoha. Why should I see her?" he retorted.
"Listen, Uchiha. We actually didn't want to do this. We could careless about you. But, the Hokage said you deserve to know about this matter," Kiba said rudely. "About what? And how should I know that you didn't make this up just to take me back to Konoha?" Sasuke asked back. "Because, like Kiba has said, we don't care about you. We prefer you to be outside our village, hopefully being killed by Hunter-nin, than to be inside the village and terrorize it," Neji said coldly. "And, about what you deserve to know, we don't know what it is. We only know that it has something to do with the Uchiha massacre," Shikamaru continue.
At the word 'Uchiha Massacre', Sasuke's ears perked up, along with his team. "I'll kill you all if this is a trick," Sasuke said in a threatening voice. "Do you really think that we'll stoop so low to use the massacre just to trick you into Konoha?" Neji said in an equal tone. They then go back to the direction to Konoha, didn't bother to check on Sasuke's team if they really follow them or not.
Sasuke didn't really know them, but he also knows that they won't go that low just to bring him back. Hell, they even didn't like him, and he knows that for a fact. Realizing that they don't have any motive to trick him, he decides to follow them, but keep his guard high.
When they arrived, they went toward the Hokage tower. They took the rooftops to avoid or meet any villagers. In their way, Sasuke realize that the village seems a little bit…dull. Many chatted happily, but he still couldn't shake the feeling that something is wrong, very wrong.
"Hey, Sasuke! Is this your old home? It seems so peaceful and happy! It surely is different to Oto," Suigetsu said. "Yes. It is peaceful, and it also has beautiful scenery too," Juugo added. Sasuke can see that Kiba is muttering something with Chouji and give them an instant glance while the others stiffened.
"No… It's a little bit different than Konoha that I used to know. I can't place it, but it seems that something is wrong," Sasuke said emotionlessly.
"Wait. It couldn't be a trap, could it?" Karin asked worriedly. Sasuke throw a glance at the Konoha ninja in front of him.
"No. It's something else," Sasuke said. "Do you four care to enlighten us?"
They then stopped. They throw a glance at each other. Neji then spoke up.
"You can ask the Hokage yourself later," he said. They then continue on. Sasuke stares suspiciously at them, but follows, nonetheless.
At the Hokage Tower, Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo stayed at the waiting room, since it's a private meeting. Sasuke then continue to follows the Konoha ninjas to the Hokage's office. Other members of the Konoha 12 and their sensei are in there. He could feel that all eyes in the room are on him. Some eyes held shock, some held dislikes, some just emotionless. Truthfully, Sasuke is a little startled to see them, especially Sakura and Kakashi.
'Wait… Sakura and Kakashi?' He then looks everywhere around the room. He notices that Naruto is missing. He feels a little bit… disappointed, but also felt relief. He was curious, but he didn't ask. He guessed that he was overslept or in mission. It's still morning, after all.
"Welcome Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Chouji. Also with you… Uchiha," Tsunade said after the door is closed and Kakashi put a jutsu so that the conversation inside won't be heard.
"Hn. I believe they said you have something to tell me, concerning the Uchiha Massacre, Hokage-sama," Sasuke said. He wanted for this to be done soon, so he could leave soon, hopefully before Naruto arrives.
Tsunade looks at him for a second before she said anything. "I'm quite surprised that you actually here. I was hoping that they would find your dead body, instead of you," she said in cold voice.
"Can you just tell me what you need to tell me?" Sasuke said in a tone that lacked emotion. Tsunade look at him and his team sharply, before she close her eyes. She then pulls out a scroll, that full of opened seals. Every eye in the room looks at it in curiosity.
"This is the scroll I just founded. It suddenly appeared around a week ago on my desk. Just three days ago, Jiraiya managed to unseal all of the seals on this scroll. Truthfully, I am quite surprised that this scroll contains a secret. A secret that should have been told," Tsunade pauses. She then looks towards Sasuke. "Especially to you, Sasuke."
Sasuke blinked. "What?" he said. The others also shocked. "What are you talking about, Tsunade-shishou?" Sakura asked. Tsunade then sighed. "Before you could understand what I will read from this scroll, you'll need to know the history of how this Konoha village was founded," Tsunade said.
"Hokage-sama, I mean no disrespect, but just what is the content in that scroll?" Kakashi asked. "Yes, Hokage-sama. Why is it so important that we have to retrieve…him?" Kiba asked as he point to Sasuke.
"This scroll…," she said as she lifts the scroll with her right hand. "…contains the truth."
"Truth?" Chouji asked. "What truth?"
Tsunade looks around the room before continues, "The truth about Uchiha Itachi and the reason behind the Uchiha Massacre."
