Naruto: Rise of a Legend.

Chapter 2:

After the meeting began Naruto's training, and boy was the bijuu a slave driver, he thought him an old way of using chakra, Ninshu (Ninja Creed). Ninshū (Ninja Creed) was the precursor to ninjutsu, while it was being used to to give people a better understanding of themselves, as well as others, and lead the world into an era of peace, it also allowed humans to do superhuman feats. It also couldn't be thought since Ninshu, true ninshu are mysterious abilities invoked through unknown means. The source of an individual's power is stated to be drawn from one's will, beliefs and experience. Ninjutsu on the other hand are a generalised way of using chakra making easier to teach and learn but lacking the kick and uniqueness of ninjutsu. Another fact was that Ninshu wasn't so well categorized as Ninjutsu is today. You see in the old days people did not categorize jutsu under any of the current branches, they had three categories so to speak

Burst: In summation, Burst is the ability to manipulate the world around one's own self. In essence, a person is able to channel and manipulate chakra or matter in the surrounding environment. In essence all ninjutsu fall under this categorie.

Trance: At its most basic form, it is the ability to manipulate the minds of others. So far, it has been used to read minds, "dive" into memories and force the target to see illusions. The Yamanaka clan hijutsu and genjutsu fall under this categorie.

Rise: Rise is used to manipulate any of the user's senses. Rise powers can be further subdivided into three types: Sense, Strength and Healing

Sense-type Rise: This type increases either any one of the 5 senses or all of the 5 senses of the user (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch) to extraordinary levels and also increases the user's reflexes. The yondaime raikage A was a prime exemple of that with his Raiton no yoroi.

Strength-type Rise: This type focuses on the user's physical body, increasing the body's physical strength, speed and endurance. It can simply be referred to as Super Human Strength. Tsunade Senju used a bastardised version of Strength-type Rise with her super strenght technique.

Healing-type Rise: This type ties into Strength-type but focuses more towards the body's endurance. When trained properly, the user can reduce the amount of damage being taken and how long it will take for their body to recover from damage such as a large cut or bruise. There are also other types of people who can "share their rise to another person and heal their body instead of their own", one of the most known user's of this type of rise was the Shodaime Hokage Hashirama Senju.

What made this type of chakra training was that a person was attuned to a certain type of manipulation, of course he could use the other two but they will never achieved the mastery over it like their primary type of manipulation. Fortunately for Naruto he was a Rise user specialising in healing type Rise. That meant that Kurama drilled him in physical conditioning. The bijuu also analyses his chakra and found that he had the same type as his mother's, but unlike hers that created chains, his took the form of Seeds of chakra which can be planted in any spot to "take root". They can also take root in human bodies. From there many things are possible. They called it Seimei no Ki "Tree of Life". Also thanks to Kurama he unlocked an ability of the sensing skills of the Uzumaki clan the ability of empathy and thanks to said ability he saw the true colours of anyone around him and what he saw filled him with sadness, the only person that cared for him was the Hokage and even he lied to him constantly.

Anyway, after a year of back breaking training, Naruto decided to start his plans for the Uchiha clan, he had a promise to keep after all.

Naruto had decided to take revenge on all the Uchiha clan for what Itachi and Shisui, the bastards did to his mother. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but as he was right now he didn't care, so here he was, at night in front of the Uchiha clan compound, it was guarded by two Uchiha clan members, but he passed by them without them ever seeing him pass by their side, he was using a unique wind style jutsu that he created, the first he ever did. Trivia, when Naruto decided to use chakra paper to know his elemental affinity, he found out that he was a Fuuton user, a very powerfull one of his shredded paper was any evidence, and he started learning elemental manipulation, completing the first step: leaf cutting, from Kushina's memories since her husband was a wind style user too. Anyway Naruto's unnamed jutsu was a wind suit where Naruto wraps his body in a whirlwind. The wind suit gives Naruto the ability to reflect light, by reflecting the light; Naruto becomes invisible, which gives him the opportunity to launch surprise attacks. However, the wind suit takes a lot of chakra to maintain, and only lasts for roughly ten seconds, but on the bright side Naruto is capable of drawing his scent and dampening the noise thanks to the wind suit. He made his way to the Uchiha clan main gardens and saw his reason for being here, a mild-featured eight year old child with brown hair swept back, with a strand hanging down his face, alongside very manacing eyes. The child was dressed with a black kimono with the Uchiha clan on the back. His eyes were the sharingan with one tomoe in each one, his name was Uchiha Aizen and he was the next Uchiha Itachi. At the age of seven he unlocked the Sharingan and now a year later he already had a single tomoe in each eye. He was practicing the Fire ball jutsu near the River. Naruto did not really care who he was, but who his father was, Uchiha Kaname, one of the most influencial people in the Uchiha clan. How he knew, well his predecessor Kushina was friends with Mikoto Uchiha, the Uchiha clan matriarch that was how she managed to acquire such juicy details. Well let's stop living in the past, let's focus on the present, Aizen so focused on his training did not see Naruto behind him not that it mattered since Naruto was using his wind suit, when he suddenly felt a prick of a needle in his arm, he looked at it and saw a senbon, he tried to reach but the remaining air that Aizen had in his lungs was sucked out and he could not breathe anymore air in, within seconds Aizen grabbed his own throat and he began hold onto it. As he tried to breathe, if someone was whitenessing the scene, and could see Naruto, it would seem as if the jinchuriki was choking the life out of Aizen by using some kind of invisible force. A few moments later, the Uchiha fell, dead. Seeing his job done Naruto decided to leave the grounds the same way he came in. Tomorrow the Uchiha clan found their rising star dead in the garden with no witnesses. All the victim had was a small prick of a needle on the arm.

When faced with the victim, poison then asphyxiation was the only logical conclusions, but the corpse would leave behind no evidence for either hypothesis. As far as assassinations go, this one was one of the best executed one's in konoha's recent history.

Time Skip: 1 year (seven years after kyubi attack):

The year has been very satisfactory to the blonde jinchuriki, he had achieved more control over his burst and his fuuton element, managed to make his plans for the Uchiha clan move forward, and he was making plans to leave konoha, not immediately, and that would be temporary, to make plans if he had to leave konoha once and for all.

Speaking of his plans for the Uchiha, his plan was spot on, it seems that when the Hokage's med nins tried to do an autopsy to the Uchiha kid he killed they came back with nothing, that made the Uchiha clan very furious and distrustful of the current regime and under the leadership of Kaname they started actively preparing a coup against the current Hokage and the village. That was Naruto's plan, you see Kaname had half of the council in his back pocket, either through political favors or the fact that they wouldn't be on the council in the first place if he did not allow it. Now seeing his only son killed had made the man very paranoid since the best med nins in the elemental nations were unable to diagnose what killed his son, that made the man think inside job, then think Hokage and finally he had managed to make the majority of the clan on board with his plan of the coup. Well he was right about it being an inside job, but he was wrong, it was not a useless old man that was doing it, nor was it an overzealous war hawk that wanted to rule konoha and make it in his image but it was him, HIM, Asama Naruto, son of Asama Miya and the one who had his mother killed by the Rising star that these bastards worshipped. Anyway, the Uchiha clan coup was not going to happen, since the hokage, may his soul find eternal peace when he dies, had two whistle blowers named Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui. Shisui had a plan to use his mangekyo Sharingan on the Uchiha clan to stop them from going through with it but Naruto could not allow that to happen so here he was tailing Shisuii while using his trademark and newly named wind suit jutsu, the kaze no mantel (wind cloack).

Scene Change.

Shisui had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair, black eyes and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes that were turns upwards at each end. In the anime, however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders. Said Uchiha was watching the village after a meeting with the Hokage and his advisers.

Flash Back.

Shisui was kneeling in front of the four most influencial people in konoha, the first starting from the right was Homura Mitokado, in his old age, Homura is depicted with grey hair, a beard, glasses as well as a constant frown that he's always worn, even in his youth. He also has a strong jaw-line a facial structure he has retained even in his old age. As a member of the Konoha Council, he wears similar garbs to those that Hiruzen would when acting in his capacity as Hokage. by his side was Koharu Utatane, In her youth, Koharu was a beautiful kunoichi with dark eyes. Her hair is pulled back in a twin bun locked by a traditional Japanese hair pin with two pearls dangling off the side. She also had fringes that covered her forehead protector. Her shinobi outfit consisted of a simple black outfit, a grey breastplate, arm guards, fishnet tights with a skirt over it, a pouch strapped to her back with bandages, and regular shinobi sandals. In her old age, she maintains her original hairstyle without the bangs. The pearls on her hair needle have also increased and tassels were added to the other end. Her earrings are also considerably longer. As a member of the Konoha Council, Koharu wears a simple long kimono, closed by an obi, a jacket, and a sash over it. Koharu has also taken to squinting, barely opening her eyes at any point in time. The third person was Hiruzen Sarutobi, The only consistent physical feature Hiruzen has displayed has been his below-average stature, all his other attributes having changed over the years: During his youth he was tan-skinned and had dark brown, spiked hair, adding a small goatee to his look after becoming Hokage; Towards the end of his life his skin is lighter, his hair is grey, his face is gaunter, and he has the wrinkles and liver spots of old age. He initially had a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks. While Shisui respected all the people present it was the last person that had him on edge, situated on Hiruzen's left was Danzo Shimura, Danzō appeared as a frail, old man, who would normally walk with a cane. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged — concealing a Sharingan underneath. Danzō has had an x-shaped scar on his chin ever since his youth. He wore a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. The robe conceals his right arm which was bandaged, and covered with three large golden braces. As Shisui was continuing with his report Danzo kept his eyes closed.

"... As it stands, the coup is still in motion." stated Shisui dutifully.

"I see..." said Hiruzen, Danzo oppened his eyes and turned to his old rival and said

"Hiruzen what's your plan now? If we remain idle for too long it's going to be late." as he saw the lack of reaction for Hiruzen he continued "Look, as the head of the village, sometimes it's necessary fo you to make hard decisions. Isn't now the time to do just that." and he waited for the Hokage's answer but was interrupted by Shisui who said

"Please wait" causing all to look at him "If I may, I think I have an alternative, there is a plan I'd like to try if you let me." now that caused Hiruzen to ask

"A plan you say?" but Danzo said "This is a waste of time, there are no other options right now" Hiruzen ignored the warhawk in favor of listening to Shisui

"What is this plan Shisui?"

"I will use my mangekyo Sharingan on the clan" said Itachi causing all the elders and the hokage to be surprised before hiruzen said

"Do you truly realise what you are saying? You will forever be branded with the sin of using the jutsu against your own clan."

"I understand, but still it's worth protecting what I hold dear. Lord third please." causing Hiruzen to sigh before he answered

"If you believe in this, I won't stop you. Do what you must." Shisui sighed in relief before bowing and said

"Thank you sir!"

"However'" continued hiruzen "you may step back and cancel your plan if you change your mind. Remeber, there is still time for all of us to think about other alternatives. Understood Shisui." Shisui left after that and no one saw the scheming look in Danzo's eyes.

Scene change.

Uchiha Shisui was not having a good day. First he found out that the coup d'etat was going to take place tomorrow, then he had to miss his student's birthday party because he had to report the the Hokage and the elders, then he is given the order to place the Uchiha clan head under his genjutsu to control him, and now before he could make it to the Uchiha Compound to preform his mission he was intercepted by Danzo.

Shisui had already known that Danzo would have some kind hidden agenda so he was ready. This fact alone was the reason that Shisui still had both of his eyes. Danzo had tried to give him some kind of speech about protecting the leaf his own was and came at him with the intention to steal his eye. However Shisui caught his wrist and put him under a powerful Sharingan genjutsu. He knew it wouldn't last though.

As soon as the Uchiha activated his Sharingan he noticed the chakra in Danzo's right eye. It was the same chakra color as a Sharingan. Shisui immediately realized that the only reason that Danzo would have the Sharingan was to use the Izanagi, a forbidden jutsu of the Sharingan that allows the user to alter fate. However the cost of using it is blindness in the eye that was used.

He quickly Shunshined to his left and sure enough the Danzo that he was looking at disappeared and another reappeared right behind where he used to be standing.

"How did you manage to see through my Izanagi" Danzo asked annoyed.

"Did you really think that any illusion could escape my sharingan?"

The one-eyed man sighed, "I suppose I'll have to approach this differently then."

Danzo signaled for his ROOT to come out of the shadows and appear before him.

Five shinobi wearing blank porcelain masks and redular ANBU attire Shunshined onto the battleground.

"Danzo..." growled Shisui

"All of you juts stay back" said the war hawk to his drones.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you standing in my way!?"

"Kotoamatsukami (Distinguished Heavenly Gods)... a visual jutsu that creates false experiences. Such a great power, but what a waste to use only to stop a coup. How unfortunate that an Uchiha doesn't know how to use the Sharingan. If you used your visual prowess on your clan... as long as the Uchiha clan exists, it's highly doubtful that another coup can be avoided. And even if it worked it would be just for this instance. There is no guarantee that the same thing will not just happen again. On the countrary, it probably will happen again. Sooner or later, the village will have to deal with the Uchiha clan. If so by exterminating the Uchiha clan now... the future of the village will be assured, don't you think?"

"Danzo, you were planning this all along..." growled shisui but the warhawk just lookled at the sky before saying

"This is all for the sake of attaining true peace for the village" then he looked at Shisui and said "Shisui... don't worry. I will make good use of your eyes." and then he charged Shisui who quickly draws his tanto and counterattacks. After a few minutes of high speed taijutsu between the two shinobi, where both shisui and Danzo proved their metel as superior shinobi both fighters jumped back and strted breathing heavily to reagain their breath, after a few seconds Danzo said

"How persistent, you have clearily earned your reputation as the strongest Uchiha. I suppose I must force an opportunity upon you" and he made a signal for his drones to attack Shisui. They threw Kunai and Shuriken at him but Shisui used his tanto to get rid of them but he didn't realise the warhawk sneeking up on him until it was too late and the elder sneaked behind, but Shisui was not ANBU for nothing and using a smoke bomb managed to give them the slip. Danzo growled and sent his drones after the Uchiha.

Scene Change:

After giving the ROOT Anbu the slip, Shisui was in a clearing having finished writing a letter to Itachi to rendez-vous with him in a secret location. He tried to leap away but found his legs tied by glowing white wines. Seeing as this Shisui panicked but his panic only grew when vines covered his whole body leaving only his neck and head alone. He looked behind him with all the limited mobility he had and saw Naruto walking towards him dressed in black with both hands in his pockets, seeing his prey captured Naruto smiled and said

"Yo Shiui san! How have you been? Mind fucked anyone lately?" at that Shisui merely looked at him before starting to channel his katon chakra through his body to try and burn the vines that tied his body, realising what the Uchiha was doing, Naruto simply made a single handsign and multiple kanji appeared on the vines that trapped the Uchiha and said man found himself incapable of channelling any chakra. Seeing that Shisui looked at Naruto who said

"Do you remember what I told last time Shisui san? Well here I am ready to collect." At that Shisui understood what was going on and composed himself before saying

"Naruto san, I understand your anger but you have to let me go, if you don't…"

"The Uchiha clan will be killed by your cousin Itachi or by the Anbu, I know." At that Shisui asked

"How?" Naruto simply smiled and said

"I killed Aizen." At that Shisui's eyes widened in terror but before he could say anything Naruto contined "Yes I killed Aizen and let the Uchiha clan come to conclusions more stupid one that the last. You see, Shisui san, you and Itachi and the elders took everything away from me, he killed her but you made so that I can't even visit her grave and that is your crime Shisui san for that you will die knowing that you clan will be killed and that you could do nothing to stop it." After that Naruto simply slit Shisui throat with a knife and popped both his eyes. After that Naruto left Shiui's corpse here after melting the ice, seeing that the meeting place was very close to this location.

Itachi is bowing on one knee in front of the Hokage and the village elders in his ANBU gear. He then started speaking.

"Shisui Uchiha was a core member of the Uchiha clan. His suicide demoralised them and lessened their fighting power all at once." He said emotionlessly.

"Are you saying that there was no other way but for Shisui to give his life? I shouldn't have pushed him." Hiruzen said regretfully. Danzo addressed the boy.

"There are a few among the Uchiha that believe that you two killed Shisui." Danzo said. Itachi responded.

"The ones who believe that are those who did not know that Shisui and we were working towards the same goal." He said just as emotionless as the warhawk.

Scene Change

Itachi had a surveillance shift for the rest of the day and he came back to the Uchiha district. He met up with Sasuke, who had just finished training to achieve the Great Fireball Jutsu. They're both sitting on the edge of the wooden path going along the side of the clan, facing a pond. Sasuke is sitting beside Naruto. He is moping.

"Too-San only talks about you Itachi-Nii-San." Sasuke said. "He's always saying that you Itachi-Nii-San are the strongest." He conyinued sadly.

"You probably hate me." Itachi said with a small smile. Sasuke's eyes widened and then became sad. "It's okay. Being the best isn't all it makes out to be. When you have power you become arrogant and isolated from the world. No matter who or what you were in the beginning. But with us it's different with us because you and I are flesh and blood. I'll always be there for you, even if it's just as an obstacle for you to overcome. Even if you do hate me. That's what big brothers are for." His smile grew slightly. Sasuke clung to him and he hugged back. They were brought out of the moment by someone yelling if Itachi was there. Itachi walked out to the door. There were three Uchiha police force officers.

"I was on a mission but I'm here. Why are you all here together like this?"

"There are two people who didn't come to the meeting yesterday. Why didn't you come?! I understand that as an ANBU you have to complete tasks at random times but it still doesn't excuse missing clan meetings!" The first spoke up.

"Why are you really here?" Naruto asked calmly. He knew.

"We're here about Shisui Uchiha, who committed suicide by drowning himself in the river last night." The next one said. The one from before continued.

"Shisui was the other person who didn't come to the meeting last night. You adored him like your older brother didn't you."

"I see, what a tragedy." Naruto said with his eyes closed. A note was passed forward. He read it. 'This must be the note that Shisui left…' He deduced in his mind. It read 'I got tired of missions. At this rate, the Uchiha have no future and neither do I.'

"He was always the first one to volunteer for a mission if it benefited the clan. We're ordering an investigation. If you try to destroy the investigation request then we'll find out right away." Naruto scrunched the note in his hand. He narrowed his pitch black eyes dangerously at their retreating form.

"Why don't you say it more directly?" He asked in a sinister fashion. The three turned around with their sharingan active. "Are yoususpecting me?"

"That's right you damn brat."

"Listen up Itachi! Just try and betray the clan! You won't get off easy!" He finished. Itachi leapt forward at speeds none of them could follow. He kicked them all in the gut and sent them flying towards the wall. They bounced off and crouched on the floor in pain. Itachi walked up to them with a calm yet angry expression.

"You shouldn't make assumptions based on appearances. For instance you assumed that I'm a patient man. You overestimate your own abilities, while having no idea of the depths of my own."

"Shisui had been watching you Itachi. We couldn't ignore the strangeness of your behaivour after you joined ANBU. What the hell are you doing?!"

"Hey, what's going on here?" Fugaku asked as he stumbled upon the struggle.

"Itachi, stop what your doing it's not good to fight amongst your clan members." Itachi narrowed his eyes further. He pulled out a kunai and threw it into the wall exactly where the Uchiha symbol was.

"The clan, the clan, the clan. It's always about the clan. You've sealed your fates as you have mine." He said in a low angry tone.

"Such arrogance!" Fugaku yelled. The three police stood up.

"Enough of this. We won't threaten you anymore! Captain! Give us the order to restrain him!"

"Itachi-Nii-San, stop already!" Sasuke yelled. Itachi's eyes widened. He got down on his knees and bowed.

"I didn't kill Shisui. But I do apologise for all the things I have said improperly. I'm very sorry." Fugaku sighed and started walking away. So did the police officers. Sasuke is staring at Itachi with a worried look. He got up. Naruto, with his hair shadowing his eyes walked towards his bedroom. He passed by Sasuke without a word. He shut the door and left him there, still worried for his big brother.

Later on, to clear his head, Itachi went on a walk around the Uchiha clan. It was in this way that he discovered someone materialising inside the clan walls out of nowhere. He is wearing blue robes, a black and orange flame pattern mask and has long spiky black hair. He also carries a sword. He was there for about 3 seconds in total before he disappeared in a swirling vortex. Itachi was hidden behind a tree when he saw this but it was obvious that he left because he was being watched. He was also definitely a shinobi. It was evident by his presence. Naruto had found someone he would need to spy on for a while.

Scene Change

"The Uchiha police force has been strengthening their armaments. What do you make of this?"

"Their hatred towards the leaf is growing stronger." Itachi stated.

"It seems we cannot ignore it anymore."

"Yes…" Itachi said.

"I need you to spy on the meeting that is taking place tonight. Notify us of everything."

"Understood." said the Uchiha.

Scene Change

"The Uchiha clan intends to revolt against the Hidden Leaf." Itachi stated. The Hokage and elders eyes widened.

"You obtained proof of this?" Itachi looked sad at this.

"Yes, I did." Itachi said sadly.

"We cannot allow such a thing! If they are going to start a revolution and upsurp our power, we have no choice but to judge the Uchiha as traitors of the Hidden Leaf!" Koharu yelled.

"Wait Koharu. Don't rush to such a decision." Hiruzen said.

"But Hiruzen. The Uchiha will not be dissuaded. We must take measures to avoid mayhem." Danzo added.

"Even if we do, facing the Uchiha will be no easy task. There has to be some kind of strategy we can use." Hiruzen hopefully said.

"There is no time to waste. We must strike pre-emptively!"

Hiruzen closed his eyes.

"The Uchiha are old comrades in arms. I want to settle this with words before force. I will come up with a strategy." He turned to Itachi. "Itachi. Buy me some time, however little it may be." the Uchiha nodded and left.

Scene Change

"Despite what the Third said, if push comes to shove he will move to protect the Hidden Leaf. That's the kind of man he is. In that case even Hiruzen as the Hokage will have no choice but to take decicive measures. Whether it results in war or not, when the uprising happens the Uchiha will lock themselves into a fate of annihilation. Including your innocent younger brother who have nothing to do with this. However there is a way to spare them before the uprising happens. If things come to pass, it is likely that they will learn the truth. And if he witness Leaf shinobi slaughtering their clan, then he will have a vengeful heart towards the Leaf. And unfortunately he will have to die as well."

"Is that a threat?" Itachi challenged.

"No. I just want you to make a choice. Either die among the Uchiha as traitors of the Leaf or align with us and save your younger sibling before the uprising happens and then help us eliminate all other Uchiha. Things must be stopped before they cause mayhem arises in order to protect the village and the world. The only shinobi who can be trusted with this mission is you. The double agent for the Uchiha and the Leaf. Itachi. There is no-one else."

Itachi,knowing he was backed into a corner, had to threaten,"Fine,I'll do it but you promise to spare the innocent. If you don't, I have enough dirty evidence to condemn Konoha to damnation."

Danzo rubbed his bandaged chin,"I apologize if my reputation leave something to not be desired but everything I do is in Konoha's name. You of all people should that as shinobi we have to get our hands dirty to allow someone else's hands be clean." Danzo raised his 'only' hand,"I swear on my love for Konoha and nindo that Sasuke Uchiha will not be harmed by my forces. I'll even throw in overseeing his well-being from the shadows if you do a task for me."

Itachi lifted an eyebrow,"That depends."

Danzo lowered his hand,"It's simple, really. When you become a nuke-nin, join the Akatsuki Organization,I've gather some intel that the man who attacked Konoha that night and brought this mess upon your clan is apart of this group."

Giving a signal,an ROOT Agent gave Itachi the files,"The documents in the front are verified but if you want to double-check,that's fine. The second half is inconclusive and nothing more than half-baked theories so take those with a grain of salt if you will."

Itachi asked,unsure of the man in front of him,"Why are you doing this?"

Danzo gave a small smile as he looked at the sun setting,"I know people think I want to rule Konoha with an iron fist but I want you to look at this place,Itachi. I want to defend this place allowing other children of the leaf to live happily as I once did before being exposed to the darkness of this world. I want to preserve their innocence for as long as I can. If that's at the expense of other countries then so be it."

Danzo turned back to face Itachi,"Now,do we have a deal?"

Konoha forest

In the forest Itachi is trailing the mysterious man he saw in the Uchiha compound. He was about to go into a cave when Itachi called out.

"Hey!" He yelled as he dropped from the tree he was in. The man turned to him. "There's something I need you to help me with." Naruto said seriously. The man narrowed his eyes behind the mask. "I want you to help me exterminate the Uchiha clan." The masked person was now fully engaged in the conversation.

"How do you know about me?" He asked calmly.

"You slipped through extra tight Leaf security and went to examine the Nakano shrine's secret tablet. Only the Uchiha know its location. Since then, I've kept an eye on your movements, looked into what kind of character you are and what your ideology is." He replied calmly.

"Well then that saves me time. For you already know that I bear hatred towards both the Leaf and my own clan."

"I have terms. I will help you exact revenge on the Uchiha clan but you are not to harm the village itself. Nor Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha or Mito Namikaze. Meet me here tomorrow at dusk." He ordered.

"Fine. I'll be here." The man said

Dusk Next Day

Before Itachi came to the forest. He gave Sasuke a scroll for a shuriken jutsu that he wanted them to master. He knew it would take them until at least nightfall. He wanted them to be absent during the massactre.

Itachi is meeting with the masked man who has identified himself as 'Madara'. Itachi was sceptical but at the moment he had no reason to persue with a questioning session.

"Tonight is the night." Itachi told him.

"Fine. I shall assist you as promised." Itachi started walking away. The man folded his arms.

"I'm going to help you annihilate the Uchiha because I have another goal. Want you to close your eyes for that." Itachi stopped and turned to him.

"You want me to turn a blind-eye to whatever you're doing?"

"No. I just don't want you to try and stop it. If you can do that I guarantee I will not kill your younger sibling. I have no use for children without the sharingan."

"Is that supposed to reassure me? At this point I have no other choice but to trust you." He said grimly. He agreed. His resolve was set. He would kill the Uchiha clan. Become a criminal and eventually die by Sasuke hands to avenge the Uchiha name. He would choose hate in the place of love and disgrace in the place of honour. If he should find out the truth, he hoped that the memory of his hateful older brother would cause him to not believe it. He would need to seem as evil as possible and manipulative.

Nightfall Massacre Begins

"I'm ready."Itachi and Madara began the Uchiha massacre the moment the sun had set. Most Uchiha didn't even get a word in before they killed every shred of feeling in his heart to slaughter them. They were his family and the ones who rescued him from darkness. Unfortunately they had become consumed by darkness and they had to be disposed of. He finally reached the place he was fearing the whole time. His house. The main house. He came in the back and into the living room. He found his mother and father sitting there as though nothing is happening. He walked over to them and unsheathed his sword. He raised his head to look at their backs.

"I see. So you've aligned with the other side."

"Too-San, Kaa-San. I…"

"I understand, Itachi." Mikoto began to tear up, not because she was going to die but because she had forced hee son to do this.

"You took this burden off my back and for that I am grateful. Just promise me one thing." Itachi looked at him and waited.

"Take care of Sasuke." Itachi began to tear up.

"I will." He said shakily. He was now shaking so much from sadness that he couldn't hold his sword properly.

"Don't fear. This is the path you have chosen. Compared to you, our pain will be over in an instant. Even if our philosophies differ, I am proud of you. You are a truly kind child." Itachi brought up his sword and stabbed them Fugaku through the heart as quick as possible, as for Mikoto he made sure to avoid anything important with his attack. A few minutes later he calmed down enough to stop crying. He sensed one chakra signature running towards the clan compound. He knew who it was. Itachi jumped across the rooftops and stood on top of a telephone poll. He saw Sasuke running towards the clan with excited and happy face. 'I regret not telling you everything before it came to this.' He thought regretfully.

Afterwards Itachi went back to his parents room. He is standing over their corpses in the shadows waiting for Sasuke. A few minutes later he came in with horrified expressions because of the sight of his parents bodies.

"Itachi-Nii-San! Too-San and Kaa-San are both… I don't understand! Who would do such a thing?!" Sasuke yelled. He was silenced when a shuriken thrown by Itachi cut his sleeve and arm and hit the wall behind. He fell to the ground. Sasuke then realised who had killed everyone.

"Wh-wha-what have you done?" Sasuke asked stuttering.

"Foolish little brother. I almost pity you." He said in an evil monotone with his eyes closed. He opened them and made eye contact with them both. He used a Tsukiyomi to show him the events of the night for three days straight. he was screaming and crying at seeing their clan die and he screamed the most when he saw Mikoto and Fugaku being cut down. He fell to the ground with saliva flowing out of his mouths onto the ground and breathing heavily. he looked at the bodies of their parents and then up at Itachi with tears still falling freely. He looked down at the floor.

"Why? Why did you do this Itachi?" Sasuke yelled. he didn't use the honorific for obvious reasons.

"To test the limits of my own abilities." He lied with a perfect expressionless face.

"To test your abilities? You're telling me that's the reason why you butchered every member of our clan…?" Sasuke asked while trembling.

"It is of great importance." Sasuke's mind was now clouded with rage.

"You bastard!" He yelled as he got to his feet. He charged at Itachi. "You're out of your mind!" He was stopped by a gut punch that knocked the wind out of him. He stayed in the same position for a few moments, coughing. He fell on the ground again. Itachi took a step forward, startling Sasuke. Sasuke stood up.

"I'm scared!" he yelled and he ran outside the door. While running down the street Sasuke yelled.

"I don't wanna die!" he kept running and in front of them in an instant was Naruto.

"Please don't kill me." Sasuke begged. Naruto stared at them with no emotion.

"Foolish little brother. You're not even worth killing." He said coldly. "If you wish to kill me one day then foster your hatred. Despise me. Surviving in such an unsightly matter as this; by all means flee. Cling to your wretched lives. And only when you have the same eyes as me stand before again" He said with a small but cruel smirk.

"It's a lie. This isn't like you Itachi-Nii-San!" Sasuke said in denial.

"I have acted like the older brother you desire for one reason; because I wanted to discover how powerful you were. I needed to find worthy opponents to test the limits of my abilities. You have that unique potential. I slaughtered the Uchiha clan to test my limits but they were quite pathetic for a clan of so called 'elites.' But now there is you. An heir to the Uchiha clan. I can think of no better way to test myself." He said in a dark manner. Sasuke was so shocked he couldn't speak. This wasn't his kind and gentle older brother. It was a monster. "Now I've made you hate me. Now you have the desire to defeat me, which is exactly why I'm going to allow you both to live." He grunted in faked amusement. Don't you see? It's all for my own benefit. Sasuke, you may be one of the few people who can attain the powers of the upgraded form of the sharingan. The Mangekyo Sharingan." Sasuke's eyes widened. He had never heard of it. "However there is one specific requirement. You must kill the person closest to you." Itachi said, pretending to enjoy the looks of horror on their faces.

"That's a lie…" Sasuke muttered.

"Trust me it's easy. I've done it before." He smirked darkly. Sasuke's eyes widened when he recalled hearing about Shisui not attending a meeting and Itachi not being there either.

"You, killed Shisui-Nii-Chan?" Sasuke asked scared.

"Yes I did. because of that I am able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. He also knew too much so I disposed of him." He lied with perfection. 'Mother. You need to guide them away from that dark path. I'm only saying it to appear a hate filled person.' "In the Nakano shrine beneath the seventh tatami mat on the right side is a secret meeting place for the Uchiha clan. There you will find documents on the true purpose of the sharingan."

"True purpose?" Sasuke asked scared.

"If you learn to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan then you will be the second person in history to use its unique powers. To insure that happens…" He chuckled darkly. "That's enough reason to let you live". Itachi turned around and both children flinched at his movement. He turned back to them. "Foolish little brother. I already told you, you're not worth killing. If you wish to kill me, Foster you hatred. Despise me. Seek revenge. Sasuke. When you possess the same eyes as Madara Uchiha, come back and face me." He looked at them with a steel gaze and then jumped away.

Itachi was jumping from roof to roof when a kunai narrowly missed his leg. He turned back and saw Sasuke with a newly awakened one tomoe sharingan. He was breathing heavily. Sasuke threw a Kunai that just missed Naruto's face. He turned his back to them. Itachi looked back at Sasuke one last time. He couldn't take it anymore and tears fell silently. Sasuke passed out shortly after.

20 minutes later ANBU Team Ro along with the Hokage and Danzo appeared at the Uchiha compound. They were shocked at the fact that the most powerful clan in the village was slaughtered. Kakashi was wondering who could have done it.

"Who could have done this?" Kakashi thought out loud.

"Itachi Uchiha." Danzo replied as he stepped out of the shadows.

"Itachi? Why?" Kakakshi asked frantically.

"Itachi Uchiha despised the Uchiha clan. That is why he killed Shisui Uchiha and took his eyes, and caused fighting among his bretheren and then finally…he caused this atrocity."

"But why would he?" Kakashi asked to himself.

"Get to work!" The Hokage demanded.

"This solves everything." Danzo said as he walked up to Hiruzen's side.

"What does this settle? Don't you see the huge problem we're left with?!"

"I consider it very minor."

"Danzo, I cannot allow you to act on your own authority anymore. From this moment onwards, you are relieved of your duties as second in command!"

"But Hiruzen I did it for-"

"The good of the Hidden Leaf? Well the Uchiha clan was a part of the Hidden Leaf. Your Foundation and ANBU will be dissolved. I will deal with you later. Until then you are confined to your quarters." The Hokage said angrily. He started walking away. Danzo began walking in the opposite direction. Two of his ANBU then appeared at his side. The first one spoke.

"Danzo-Sama, the body count doesn't match up."

'What did you say?" he asked confused.

"It's like they disappeared into thin air." Danzo looked worried by this. He turned to the second ANBU who was giving him a weird vibe. Through one of the eye holes you could see one angry and hardened Sharingan eye.

"I witnessed everything." He started with a deep and serious tone. Danzo flinched. "And I will continue to watch. If you so much as touch my mother and Sasuke, I will leak classified village intel to every unallied nation." He ended darkly. He disappeared in a murder of crows.

"Damn you." Danzo muttered.

Scene Change:

While Itachi and the masked man were having fun wacking the Uchiha clan, Naruto was sneaking around the compound looking for any ones lucky enough to survive, to finish them off of course, he then reached the main family house and sensed the life of one Uchiha Mikoto, he then waited until Itachi left before he left for Mikoto and how do we say this, finished the job by stabbing the woman through the heart.

There was another reason why he was here, Naruto went to the Uchiha library. What few knew about was that the Uchiha clan compound was built by Hashirama Senju at the request of Madara. What no one knew about was that Madara made a request that Mito made a secrete compartiment on the wall of the library so that he could hide his katon ninjutsu knowledge for his clan so that only his blood could have it. That was what Naruto was after, you see he was a katon user, a very rare thing in the Uzumaki clan, and while Kurama was capable of teaching him in the katon area, he herself admitted that Madara was better than her in that area. So here he was sneaking into the Uchiha clan compound while their golden boy was having fun killing them, which was funny considering the fact that the Uchiha Itachi was crying on the inside. Any way he reached the seal and saw the creation, he could understand parts of it but since it was Uzumaki Fucking Mito who made it, he could not really understand everything. So how was he supposed to open the damn thing if he wasn't of Madara's bloodline, well luckily for him, Mito or as Kurama liked to call her the 'crazy, paranoid bitch' always made a fail safe in any of her works, so Naruto using a key of sorts, opened the seal and found a scroll, he opened it and saw 'how to master fire jutsu by Uchiha Madara' so he took with him. Another thing he found in the compartment was a standard katana, with a dark purple handle and a circular hand comes with a black sheath decorated with a silver eastern dragon that runs its entire length, the handle of the blade is decorated with sakura petals, the pommel has the shape of three has three distinct holes in it.

The final reason why he was here was sasuke, he found a genjutsu knocked out Sasuke falling on his stomach, he waited until everyone left and then he went through some handsigns before touching Sasuke's forehead and said "Seimei no Ki " ōkoku" ("Tree of Life - Kingdom")" with this jutsu Naruto can plant his chakra seed inside a human body. Unlike normal plants that gain nutrients from soil and sunlight, the seeds drain human life force from humans, instantly killing them with chakra trees coming out of their mouths, or in this case something less draining and more macabre. Before the blooming process starts, Naruto must signal for the process to begin, essentially allowing him to prepare in advance for future battles or make a deadman's switch inside the Uchiha. While he did not hate the child, he couldn't allow Indra's transmigrant to roam free without any form of control. Ever since his friend Kurama told him about the transmigration system and about Indra and Asura, he decided to always keep an eye on Sasuke. Yeah he knew that that way of thinking was what caused the Uchiha massacre in the first place, but he wasn't Namikaze, he knew just what humans are capable of doing.

Seeing his task complete and sensing the hokage and his ANBU coming, naruto decided to leave in a Shunshin himself.

Scene Change:

The Uchiha clan had just been declared dead and Naruto couldn't be happier, Itachi was on the run and his brother was in konoha being spoiled rotten. Naruto believed everything was in its natural order. All he had to do was wait for an opportunity and dear old Itachi was going to die by his hands, as for Sasuke, well the younger Uchiha had his uses until he was bored or Sasuke outlived his usefulness then Naruto would simply kill him and be done with him. Anyway for a while Naruto can sleep peacefully knowing that justice (or revenge) was surved.

Time skip: nine years after kyubi attack.

Naruto and the kyubi were pissed, and after the training that Naruto endured that was very hard. The reason why both bijuu and container were pissed was a letter that they found in Hiruzen's office. The letter was from an Uzumaki Kushina asking if the old man killed the demon yet, the bitch was alive! Now Naruto was not angry because she abandoned him nor was he mad because she asked for his death, as far as he was concerned his mother is Asama Miya. No, the reason Naruto was pissed was because she had in her possession an artefact that he wanted, the ring of the Hi no kuni Daimyo. The ring that the current one had was a forgery that Mito made in her life and that Kushina swapped with the real thing when she served as one of the Shugonin Jūnishi (Twelve Ninja Guardians). Kushina did that on the dying wishes of Mito, a woman that was like a mother to her. He knew that because when he broke into the Namikaze estates he did not find the ring and he knew that the bitch left it in a viewing case that she had for trinkets that she got from interesting missions. In his rage, Naruto tore the inside of the house apart and he was about to destroy the immense ninjutsu collection that the estates had. The Namikaze may not be one the greatest clans in konoha but they were the most knowledgeable about many shinobi subjects.

Why Naruto wanted such a relic was tied to another piece of history that he knew from Mito's memories. For the rest of the world, the first Gokage Kaidan (Five Shadow summit) was a meeting shortly after the system of hidden villages was established, the first ever Kage Summit was convened in an unknown location by the First Hokage. In an attempt to balance the power between the villages and as a sign of goodwill, Konohagakure intended to distribute the tailed beasts it had acquired to the other villages. The Kazekage, however, noted that Sunagakure already had a tailed beast within their possession and instead asked for an alternative payment of a portion of the fertile land of the Land of Fire, their closest neighbour, and 30% of the asking price from each of the tailed beasts that the other nations would pay for. Most present were outraged by this and threatened war against Sunagakure, but the Hokage was able to quell their rage by speaking of his hopes for the future of the shinobi.

That was a load of horse shit, the first gokage kaidan was a meeting that, while talked about the distribution of tailed beasts between the shinobi villages, the real point of the meeting was the establishment of an organisation that still controls the world even now, the Tetsugakumono (The Philosophers).

It is sad that the shinobi world is incapable of living without war, but nonetheless it is a truth. The shodaime hokage understood that, so he alongside the other kage decided to create a system that would allow the shinobi villages to constantly operate and that allows them to start wars and conflicts whenever they want, they called it the Sensō keizai (War Economy) since it was simply that, they tied all vital functions of the state to war, making war necessary for the economical and social growth of any country. To do this, they needed a lot of money, the slash fund was called the Tetsugakumono no isan (the philosophers' legacy). The daimyos of the five countries allowed it to happen and even helped fund this legacy. So that each country has an equal access to said legacy, they put in many accounts in one of the most secure banks of the Elemental Nations, the howling wolves bank of Oni no Kuni under multiple anonymous accounts, meaning that if you have the account number and the password you can access the account no questions asked. To safe guard the legacy, they put the accounts information in a notebook that was sealed with a seal needing ten keys. Five of those keys were the Daimyos succession rings, the other five were sealed in items that belonged to the five shodaime kages:

-Konohagakure no Sato (the village hidden in the leaves): Shodaime Hokage(first Fire Shadow) Senju Hashirama: the Shodai Hokage no Kubikazari (First Hokage's Necklace), current owner or location: Tsunade Senju.

-Iwagakure no Sato (The village Hidden by Stone): Shodaime Tsuchikage (First Earth Shadow) Kamizuru Ishikawa: the Kamizuru Ishizoku no Hyotan (Kamizuru Clan Gourd), current owner or location: Kamizuru clan compound.

-Kirigakure no Sato (The Village Hidden in the Mist): Shodaime Mizukage (First Water Shadow) Kirigakure Saizou: the Mari Blade, current location or owner: Unknown.

-Sunagakure no Sato (The Village Hidden in the Sand): Shodaime Kazekage (First Wind Shadow) Akane Natsu: the Kujakusen (Crimson Demon Fan), current owner or location: unknown.

-Kumogakure no Sato (The Village Hidden in the Clouds): Shodaime Raikage (First Lightning Shadow)Yotsuki Raiha: the Tombogiri no Tsurugi (Dragonfly Cutter Sword), current owner or location: unknown.

The death of Hashirama first and then the other shodai kage was the beginning of the ascention of the other incompetent second generations of the philosophers, the people who were with shodai kage as guards and who became the nidaime (Second) kages of their respective villages. The first Shinobi war was a war were the philosophers killed one another for control of the legacy, it started with the death of Tobirama and escalated to the point that by the end of it only two philosophers remained, the Nidaime Mizukage (Second Water Shadow) Hozuki Gengetsu and the Nidaime Tsuchikage (Second Earth Shadow)Mu who seeing that they couldn't get the other keys that belonged to the other philosophers, started the second shinobi great war by attacking Uzushiogakure no Sato (The Village Hidden by Whirling Tides) with the help of Kunogakure and the Sandaime Raikage (Third Lightning Shadow), in order to find sealing secrets that would allow them to unseal the legacy and have monopoly over it. The endeavour failed since neither of them managed to get into the vaults that stay until now closed, frustrated by the failure and the fact that many of their shinobi died for nothing, the two idiots killed each other a year later leaving their villages leaderless until the sandaime Mizukage, a man named Kasumi kaioh , and the sandaime Tsuchikage Kamizuru Onoki took the leadership of their respective villages, the original daimyo that oversaw the beginning of the philosophers all died before the end of the Daiichiji Ninkai Taisen (First Shinobi World War) through various assassinations without passing the knowledge to their descendants. The problem was that the System was made in place, but with no one to control it ran amok, the Daisanji Ninkai Taisen (Third Shinobi World War) was a direct result of the system going out of control. Mito realised that so she tried to take over the system herself but when that failed, she decided to make sure that no one could after her death so on her death bed she had Kushina promise to replace the ring of the daimyo with a forgery that the elder Uzumaki made in her lifetime.

After his mother's death, Naruto realised that the reason his mother died was because of the war economy that the philosophers created, so he decided that to honour her he would end this corrupt system once and for all, to do that he first needed to become a kage of one of the great five, second he needed the bloody legacy for the funding of the third and final phase of his plan.

This little explication that I went through might explain why Naruto was so fucking upset, since he needed the rings of the daimyos and the one ring that he expected to have already was not where he (or kushina) left it, that would put a damper on his plans, quite frankly he did not care what happened to Kushina as long as she stayed away from his plans and did not hinder them, on second thought he was going to kill her anyway because she needed to die, but now he had to track the woman to find his ring. On another note, what are the odd that out of 115 trinkets (he counted them before destroying them) she would take the one that he wanted.

The bijuu on the other hand was pissed since that would put a damper on its plans for freedom since if its chakra was inside the shinigami's stomach like they thought in the beginning, all Naruto would have to do was break the seal and his yin chakra would act as a magnet to its yang chakra inside the demigod's stomach, even if that didn't happen Naruto simply needed to use the Shinigami's mask in the Uzumaki shrine to free his yang chakra from the bijuu's stomach. Now, and if what Naruto said was true, if the seal that bound the yin was destroyed, the yang would act as a magnet and seal the yin inside Kushina's seal, no way will the bijuu allow that so the bitch needed to die no questions asked, either by extracting the yang or by killing her it did not matter (preferably killing her).

Anyway, neither the bijuu nor its container could do anything about it for now so they decided to make finding Kushina a priority when they set up their spy network a year or so from now. Naruto decided to read a book that he stole over a year ago from the senju library (the senju compound was protected by seals that were made by Mito after all) that was written by Senju Tobirama, the book talked about an experiment that the young Hokage would like to try, he called the Shakai no shōki no sentaku (Selection for Societal Sanity) or S3 plan for short that was designed to manipulate world events and the decisions of individuals, as well as essentially mold these individuals. Naruto used this plan to take care of the Uchiha clan. To understand what that means, we would have to return to nearly two weeks after his mother's death.

Two weeks after his mother's death, Naruto using Henge no jutsu, started spreading a rumour that the kyuubi was controlled by Madara during the battle of the valley of the end. The rumors spread and the shinobi started remembering that the bijuu didn't attempt to run away from konoha when it attacked, it seemed possessed by a desire to destroy the village, a desire that an animal, as far as they knew, should not have. That line of thought started a chasm between the shinobi and the rest of the Uchiha clan. Then Naruto started causing incidents where the Uchiha clan police force seemed a bit more aggressive than usual, their actions and the actions of Tobirama in the creation of the police force and the removal of all political power of the Uchiha, made the chasm grow. The final nail in the Uchiha's coffin was Aizen's death and what happened afterwards leading to the Uchiha clan's downfall or massacre by the hands of their prodigy Uchiha Itachi. With this experiment Naruto proved the S3 plan's effectiveness in the control of mass groups since he controlled both Konoha and the Uchiha clan and got rid of the Uchiha clan in one clean swoop. Now he will try to see if the S3 plan would work on a single individual and the perfect subject is none other than Uchiha Itachi.

Chapter End.
