General Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine because if it was, Itachi would be alive and Sasuke would confess his feelings for Sakura, like damn hurry up.

Summary: The war is over and no one has survived from it. Upon Sasuke's death, he wishes that he could relive his life again to prevent this all from happening and Sasuke's wish is granted. He returns to the night of the massacre and upon seeing Itachi he demands him to take him away from the village that he once called home and to be trained by none other the Akatsuki. /Time-travel/SS/

When Sasuke thought of death, he thought it was painless process that left you without an existence. He thought that once you had died, you were gone for good. He believed there was no such thing as heaven. As heaven meant that there was a God. And there has certainly been no god to pray for in all of his torturous life.

So why did it feel like his body was being apart into little pieces?

This feeling...he wanted it to end. It felt more painful than the wound he had when he died. It almost felt more painful than the day he had killed Itachi, and when his clan was massacred.

He felt his bones crack and reform and rearrange themselves in ways that didn't seem possible. His head felt like it was splitting and his skull was cracking inwards, damaging the brain tissue. Through all that pain, it also felt as though he were...shrinking?

He tried to yell out in pain but he couldn't bring himself to do so. It was like his mind couldn't connect to his body, as though the link between them had been severed. He couldn't even open his eyes to see what was going on, what sort of thing was causing this pain.

Sasuke then began to believe that he wasn't dead and perhaps people had found his body and decided that he if should die, it should be in the most painful, agonizing way. Perhaps these were the surviving shinobi that wanted him gone for good. After all, who was to trust someone who was a dangerous missing-nin that suddenly sided with them for reasons that they were unaware of?

All the pain suddenly ceased, and Sasuke felt relief wash over him in warm waves. Finally he could die now, he could be left in peace and never have to worry about anything else...

"Are you so desperate to die, young child?" An alluring voice that called out to him made Sasuke open his eyes wide open.

Sasuke tried to make a sound, but he could not bring himself to do so.

'Who is this person? Is there perhaps a heaven? Am I going to be judged on my actions here?' The voice, apparently belonging to a woman, chuckled.

"There is a heaven boy, but you're not quite there yet. Fate has decided for you otherwise."

Sasuke was shocked, he was sure he hadn't said anything aloud, so how was it she answered his question?

"I can read your mind, Sasuke Uchiha. I know all things that is needed to be known."

Sasuke pushed himself up from the ground, feeling a lot smaller than he was used to. Finally he found his voice and demanded,

"Why am I here? Who are you?" He wrapped his around his throat, how was it that his voice was so high?

"Tsk, tsk. Sasuke, I thought you would be more well-mannered considering I had to put myself out there in front the higher-ups to give you another chance."

Sasuke give her an incredulous look, removing his hand from his throat. What was this crazy woman saying?

"Another chance?"

She smiled gently, "Yes another chance. When you died you wished to start your life again, yes? Therefore I am giving it you. However I can't take you back before the massacre to save your mother and father, because my power is limited."

"What?"

"Do not waste the opportunity you have been given."

Before Sasuke could say another word, a bright light encased him and he instinctively closed his eyes, feeling his body being sucked into something, that he could not escape. He then lost consciousness.

When Sasuke woke up, he found himself lying on the ground. He opened his eyes, only seeing darkness at first, but then his vision cleared. Sasuke found himself in a forest opening and as he looked around he noticed targets were placed on the surrounding trees he finally realised where he was.

'This is the place Itachi used to train...and where I was on the night of the massacre.'

Surely, the woman was just a figment of his imagination when he died. Was this what happens after death? That once you die, you just relive your memories?

He looked up at the night sky, realising it was a full moon.

When he looked at his hands he not only noticed the cuts and bruises, but he nearly screamed when he realised his hands were far smaller than what he used to. He then looked down to his outfit, that consisted of a black high-collar top and a white pair of shorts. He hadn't worn that outfit since he was 12. He than began to feel his face, noting that his features felt smaller and less distinct. He looked to his legs and it looked like they shrunk as well. Sasuke then came to a horrifying conclusion.

Sasuke Uchiha, a name that could bring full-grown shinobi's to cry at the mention of it, one of the most feared missing-nin in the Fire Country, was now in his 8 year old body.

How? Sasuke doesn't know, but it might have to do with that woman he met after he died.

Could it be possible that Sasuke really has travelled back in time?

'That could mean...Itachi is alive? Okaa-san? Otou-san?' Sasuke picked himself off the ground slowly, trying to get used to his 8 year old body. He shook his head, trying shake off the dizzy feeling. He began to run towards the Uchiha compound, hoping that maybe his parents may be alive and that Itachi hasn't started the massacre.

'That woman...she said that I couldn't save my parents...No. I have to try.'

Sasuke pushed his legs faster and faster, he dully noted that he stamina and speed was very poor as an 8 year old, and that he would have to train hard in order to get to an adequate level of endurance.

He realised he was at the gate of the Uchiha compound before he knew it, and ran through the small streets. No lights were on, it was deathly silent.

'NO! They're gone! Why couldn't I prevent this...why do I...have to experience this again.'

He ran towards his house and ran up the stairs, his heart beating loudly in trepidation.

"Okaa-san, Otou-san! Where are you!?" Sasuke yelled his hardest, he prayed to whatever God there was to let him see they were okay.

He pushed through the doors and there they were...lying on the ground on top of each other.

Dead.

Itachi was holding a katana, blood dripping down from its blade. He turned to face Sasuke, and looked at his beloved brother without a trace of emotion.

"Itachi...why did you do this...again?" Sasuke was now on his knees, tears cascading down falling onto the floorboards.

Itachi looked confused, 'Again?' But he let it slip by, right now he had a mission to finish and he didn't have the time to dwell in the compound. In only a matter of time, the ANBU would start coming after him.

"I did it to test myself Sasuke. I wanted to test my strength." But Sasuke couldn't hear Itachi well over the pain that he tried to suppress. He needed to get out of here, to breathe, to think. He couldn't calm himself in the room with dead bodies and his brother. Sasuke ran to the door, down the stairs and out of the house onto the main path. As Sasuke ran further away from the house, he was stopped by Itachi standing in front of him. Sasuke needed to calm down and remember, remember the reason why his brother was doing this, remember who caused his great suffering, remember who killed everyone he loved-

Konoha.

"Foolish little brother, if you want to kill me, despise me, hate me. Run, run.. cling to live and survive in an unsightly way. Then someday, when you have these same eyes, come to me-" Itachi abruptly stopped. Why was Sasuke smiling?

"And why would I need to obtain these eyes," Sasuke's tears stopped running, and he closed his eyes, hands covering his face. He realised his new purpose in this new life. He started to laugh maniacally.

Sasuke grinned and opened his eyes to reveal his sharingan eyes. Glaring up at Itachi. His brother's eyes widened.

Blood began to spill over, mixing in with the tears as the three commas started to slowly, sinisterly spin into his mangekyou sharingan.

"When I already have them?"
