The Truth of a Shadow

by Observer Shade

The Uchiha massacre was performed expertly. In fact, had he not gotten so unlucky, Itachi would have succeeded. However, he did not... This is the story of Faran Kredo, the boy who Itachi missed and the fourth Uchiha. The story of a book in a ruined world of shades and shadows.

10. Chapter 9

Uchiha felt the rope in his hands.

It was an old rope, perhaps older than the men who were now joking, but it was strong, strong enough to serve its purpose. j/[/4][[#'/309572)(%*^4 I, Kraken Uchiha began to nimbly tie the knots. I had finally rested control of the one body that I currently shared with the imbecile Faran, but now, now I intended to rain down death on all those who had no place in the new order, the perfect world I intended to create. My work finished, I threw the rope over the branch of a tree, pulled it tight, and slowly placed the noose in the clearing. Then I threw my kunai. The kunai hit its mark with an ease that my other half could have never achieved. (Oh be quiet, you know it is true, no I will not admit that.) I apologise for somebody rudely trying to wrest control of the tale. (Yes I know I have been doing it for quite some time now.) Anyway, the kunai hit its mark, the first man's chest. Running forward, I leapt on to his chest, and stood vertically off it, holding the kunai, and kicked out with my feet. The Result was that I bowled him over, took hold of the kunai, and then pulled it out, kicking off him as he fell at the same time, using him as a spring board to project myself straight at the second man, who had got his wits together in the time it had taken me to take out the first man. Angling my body, I only got nicked by the flashing sword, and as my blood spurted out of the cut on my side, I landed at his feet. I then rolled backwards between his legs, ignoring the wet mud that had now entered my wound, and then slashed my kunai wildly at his legs, hacking them out from under him and knocking him over into me. We had a very short wrestling match, but he was over balanced due to a heavy load he was carrying at his back. Therefore, I came out on top, and drove my kunai between his shoulder blades, feeling the satisfaction of him go limp. It was so satisfying, in fact, that I forgot about the third one, and only remembered as a heavy object hit the side of my head, and the world began to go fuzzy.
