Chapter 12: Massacre of the Uchiha Clan!

Uchiha District

On top of an electric pole in the middle of the night, with the moon shining down on the Uchiha District, a shinobi appeared crouching down on top of the electric pole.

"I will carry on your will. I will move forward believing in the path I choose for myself. That will lead to the future of the village… It will save my younger brother, and the Uchiha." The shinobi said which was revealed to be Itachi with closed eyes.

"For that…" Itachi mutters as he opens his eyes, revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan in the darkness of the night.

"I will walk in darkness with these eyes…"


Meanwhile, Sasuke, the younger brother of Itachi Uchiha walked inside the Uchiha District with his satchel over his left shoulder. He look up at the electric pole that he suspected was someone crouching down on it, but all he saw was the moon shining down on him.

"What the? I thought I saw someone there." He said looking up at the pole, but then he realizes something.

"No lights? It's not so late that people would be sleeping already." Sasuke said as he runs in front of him and turns to a corner on his right. "This is…?" Sasuke said as he then look in front of him and his eyes widen as he could see a cut lantern lamp light and several shuriken embedded on a door across from the lantern. He looked up and he could see a lot of shuriken being embedded on the wall of a house.

"W-What is this?" Sasuke asked as he runs ahead of the street he was in.

"What in the world is this?!" Sasuke thought as he then stopped, spotting a couple of bodies in front of him.

"Ojii-san… Obaa-san…" Sasuke said looking at their dead bodies.

He then look in front of him as his thought came to his parents, "Otou-san… Okaa-san…!" Sasuke said as he runs to his home.

He slide the door open and look down, seeing as there were no shoes at the steps of the entrance. He then walked inside, "Otou-san? Okaa-san?" He called as he as went in several rooms to find them, but he couldn't find them on those rooms. He then heard something as he headed to the training room, and stopped in front of the two sided doors.

He was intend to open it but he retracted his hand as he heard someone fighting over on the other side.

"There's someone in there…" Sasuke said with a scared look.

"Move. Move! Move!" Sasuke thought as he tried to move but he can't because he was scared to open the door. But slowly he grabbed both of the door handles and pulled it open.

"Okaa-san!" Sasuke shouted seeing his mother was alive while his father's dead body lies besides her.

"Sasuke!" Mikoto said as she rushed towards her son, relieved that he was still alive. Sasuke then look in front of him, seeing Itachi fighting with someone at the center of the room.

"Why do you insist on interfering?" Itachi said as he locked blades with Zero who was wielding Shisui's tanto.

"Because sometimes this is not the answer." Zero simply answered.

"Nonsense." Itachi said as he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"That will not work on me. You have to have eye contact with your victim. Sadly, I'm wearing a mask." Zero said as he pushed Itachi's tanto with his tanto, causing Itachi to be pushed to the other side of the room.

"Just who are you, Zero? Everything about you seems mysterious." Itachi said deactivating his Mangekyo Sharingan as Zero stabbed his tanto into the ground and stare at Itachi.

"Don't you want to know." Zero exclaimed as Itachi focused his eyes on Sasuke, which caused him to freeze.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!" Itachi said as he trapped Sasuke in his Tsukuyomi.

"Sasuke? Sasuke!" Mikoto said trying to shake her son from standing rigidly all of a sudden.

"Itachi…" Zero said as he pulled of his mask, shocking Itachi.

"Rokudaime-sama!" Itachi thought in shock as he saw in front of him the Rokudaime Hokage, Izayoi Sakamaki.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!" Zero said as his eyes each took on a pinwheel of four spiralling curves, that Itachi knew who the owner of the pair was.

"Shisui's… Eyes?!" Itachi thought in shock as Zero then pulled out the small jar that contains Shisui's blood.

He then raised his head as he put the small jar above his right eye and open the small lid a little, allowing a small amount of blood to touch the eye, and then suddenly Izayoi slightly grit his teeth, feeling his right eye burning. While he was enduring the pain, he put the small jar inside his flak jacket and gripped his mask tightly.

Izayoi look down for a moment, as the burning sensation he felt in his right eyes faded. He then looks up as Itachi saw his right eye took on a different pattern consisted of a pinwheel of eight spiralling curves with a slit in the middle. The slit was collided with the pupil, as the slit positioned in a straight line while the pupil was positioned at the center of the slit.

"Eien no Mangekyo Sharingan!" Izayoi said as Itachi stopped his Tsukuyomi and he was suddenly transported to a different world.


"I didn't think this was your mind, Itachi." Izayoi said as Itachi look in front of him, seeing Izayoi standing with a calm expression.

"I wouldn't mind giving you a taste of what Kotoamatsukami could do." Izayoi commented as Itachi's eyes widen.

"But since Shisui wouldn't do something like that to his bestfriend. I warn you to get out of Konoha this instant." Izayoi ordered with a cold voice as Itachi slightly flinched from the gaze of Izayoi's eyes on him.

"Even if he said that you would have to walk a long, dark path. But for me this is too dark of a path. Killing the innocent is rightful not the way! So, I order you to get out of Konoha. Or I will force to give you false memory. You will not regain any memories and experiences you have before. If Kotoamatsukami in its Mangekyo Sharingan, was powerful to give false experience like I say. But if it's in the stage of Eien no Mangekyo Sharingan? I wouldn't mind testing it on you. You will never regain your true memories and experiences forever!" Izayoi said as Itachi's eyes widen, feeling the pressure of what he said.

He would know the power Shisui wield if he uses Kotoamatsukami, but Izayoi has the third and final stage of the Sharingan, Eien no Mangekyo Sharingan. He was sure the power would be 5 times more powerful than the normal power of Kotoamatsukami. He remain calm outside, but he was terrified outside, on what the new stage of Kotoamatsukami could do to him.

"Hai. I will leave Konoha this instant." Itachi said as Izayoi kept his narrow eyes on him.

"Are you sure?" Izayoi asked wanting reassurance from Itachi.

"Yes. I will leave at once." Itachi said as he was suddenly teleported back to the real world.


He blinked a few times as he settle his gaze on Izayoi, who had the newly formed Sharingan in his right eye while the normal Mangekyo Sharingan, which was a pinwheel of four spiralling curves in the other.

"But I want to speak with Sasuke for a bit." Itachi said as Izayoi narrowed his eyes at his action.

"Just for a bit." Itachi stated as Izayoi sighed, turning his body to the other side, letting Itachi look at Sasuke, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"This can't be true! You're not my brother!" Sasuke yelled out as Itachi stare at him.

"The reason why I continued to act as the brother you desired was because I wanted to verify your 'container'. You will become my opponent as the one who will confirm my 'container'. You carry that potential. You detested me and held a grudge against me. You continuously wished to surpass me. And that's why I will let you live, for me. You are like me, one who is capable of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan within. However, there is a special condition… Your closest friend… you must… kill him!" Itachi explained to Sasuke who was shock by his statement. Mikoto could only watch as her eldest son explained the way to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan to Sasuke. She knew that to awaken the final stage of the Sharingan was to kill your closest friend.

"No way…" Sasuke said in disbelief.

"Just as I did." Itachi said as Sasuke recalled an officer of the Uchiha Police Force that Shisui Uchiha had committed suicide by drowning himself in the Naka River last night.

"That was…you? You killed Shisui-san?" Sasuke asked with a shock look.

"That's right. Thanks to that, I obtained these eyes." Itachi explained as Sasuke gasp.

"In the main building of the Nakano Temple, in the right corner to the rear of the room, under the seventh tatami mat, there lies the clan's Commentary Scroll. Within its writing, the original purpose of the Uchiha Clan's dojutsu is explained, as is its true secret." Itachi explained.

"It's true secret?" Sasuke thought.

"If you awaken it, there will be four people, including me, who have ever used the Mangekyo Sharingan. If that can happen, there is meaning in letting you live. But as you are now… You aren't even worth killing. Foolish otouto, if you want to kill me, then blame me. Hate me. And live on in shame. Run and run… Cling desperately to life." Itachi said as he turn his body sideways, as only his left eye was seen.

"Then, one day, come before me with the same eyes I bear now!" Itachi said as his left eye took on the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Just as Itachi showed his eye to Sasuke, it caused him to fell forward to which Mikoto caught him before he fell.

Itachi then disappeared with a shunshin as Izayoi pulled out his tanto before he followed after him, leaving Mikoto and Sasuke alone in the room.

The two then appear on the streets of the Uchiha District as Itachi look at Izayoi, shedding a tear as he recalled Sasuke fear of him.

"Itachi… Is it worth lying to him?" Izayoi asked as Itachi look down.

"I'm the one to blame for Shisui's death. If it wasn't for me being a spy for the coup, he would still be alive. I started all of this and I will be killed by my own brother for my wrong doings." Itachi explained as Izayoi sighed.

"There is no other way, huh?" Izayoi asked looking at Itachi.

"Sadly, there is not. I've chosen this path and I planned to end it with my death. Anyway, thank you Izayoi. You and Shisui are the ones that were there for me. I have gotten close to Sasuke, but this time I have to distance the line between us." Itachi said with a smile.

"Shisui, would be proud of you for saving at least one Uchiha. And that is my Kaa-san. If you wouldn't have gotten there in time, I would have killed her and left Sasuke all alone. If its possibly, can you keep an eye on Sasuke?" Itachi asked.

"I don't know. He'll maybe be entrusted with the same Curse of Hatred as the Uchiha Clan if he gains the Sharingan. And from that, I don't know what to do except to use Kotoamatsukami to give false memory of this accident." Izayoi explained as Itachi nodded in understanding.

"Anyway, you should go. I sense that Minato would be coming with a whole lot of ninjas here." Izayoi informed Itachi as he nodded.

"Thank you, Izayoi. Until we meet again." Itachi said as he disappeared in the night, leaving Izayoi to stand on the street.

"I can guess that there will be more problems after this massacre." Izayoi said with a sigh as he put on his mask and flash towards Mikoto and Sasuke.


When he arrived he saw Mikoto carried the unconscious Sasuke in her arms, while she look down at him with a worried look.

"How is he?" Zero asked as he held his tanto in his right hand as Mikoto looked at him.

"He's doing fine. He's just unconscious." Mikoto stated as Zero nodded and turns to leave.

"I sensed Yondaime-sama is coming this way. And as for me, I should leave. I don't want to be a suspect and be confined for interrogation." Zero said as a hand grabbed his right hand, stopping him from leaving.

"Thank you for saving me, Zero." Mikoto said with a smile.

"No problem." Zero replied as Mikoto let go of her hold on him, causing Zero to walk a few steps from her before he disappeared in a shunshin.

"It's going to be okay, Sasuke. Okaa-san is here with you." Mikoto said as she held Sasuke tightly.


Somewhere in the outskirts of Konohagakure

Zero appeared on a branch of a tree as he stabbed his tanto in the branch, crouching down and pulling off his mask, as he held his right eye in pain with his right hand.

"Ugh… Shouldn't have used it that early…" Zero said as he pulled his hand back from his right eye that exposed the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Huh… Better make the other one to complete the both of them." Zero said pulling the small jar that contains Shisui's blood as he drop a small amount of Shisui's blood on his left eye, making him look down and grit his teeth on the burning sensation of his left eye.

After a while, the burning sensation completely faded, leaving Zero to put the small jar inside his flak jacket and leaned his back against the tree, as both of his eyes had the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, that consist of a pinwheel of eight spiralling curves and a slit with the pupil in the middle of the slit.

He look up at the night sky as he stood up from his position, "Huh… I better report back to the Hokage Office." Zero said deactivating his Sharingan as he put his mask back on and pulled out his tanto before disappearing in a shunshin.


When he reappeared inside the Hokage's Office, he was suddenly assaulted with several tantos at his neck.

"What is this?" Zero asked glancing at the four Anbu that trapped him in a square formation.

"I receive word that you have a part on the massacre of the Uchiha Clan." Sarutobi said as he stood in front of Zero.

"Where's Minato?" Zero asked knowing that Minato was investigating the Uchiha District in this hour.

"He is investigating the Uchiha District with several nins." Sarutobi answered with the same thought as Zero did.

"You know, if you would ask nicely than to point blades at me, then you're completely wrong." Zero said with a calm voice as Sarutobi ordered the Anbu to lower their weapons.

"Can you tell them to leave? I want to discuss with you in private." Zero said as Sarutobi nodded in understanding.

"Sandaime-sama, what if he…?" An Anbu asked as Sarutobi answered with a smile.

"If he wanted to, he would have killed us all with his Black Lightning earlier, wouldn't you, Zero?" Sarutobi asked.

"Yeah, I would. Who wouldn't be annoyed if you are accused in being a part of the massacre of a whole clan?" Zero asked as the Anbu put their weapons inside their sheaths.

"You are dismissed." Sarutobi said to the Anbus, as they all nodded before they disappeared out of the room with a shunshin.

Zero then performed a handseal as a Soundproof Barrier was put around the room, so that the Anbus couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.

"So, what's going on here? I would have known Shisui would request your help if he would be in trouble. Speaking of him, where is Shisui?" Sarutobi asked.

"He's dead." Zero said as Sarutobi's eyes widen in shock.

"He wouldn't last long in this world after using so much chakra, leading up to exhaustion. He was poisoned by one of the Root members. And Danzo was the leader of the cause. Anyway, Shisui's right eye was taken by Danzo." Zero informed as Sarutobi narrow his eyes at the name Danzo, curious on what his role was supposed to be in Zero's story.

"This is his gift to me before he died." Zero said holding up the tanto in his right hand at Sarutobi, who look at the tanto with a sad look.

"I hope you use it well, Zero." Sarutobi asked as Zero nodded, lowering down the tanto to his side.

"Please, continue." Sarutobi stated as Zero nodded.

"We were ambushed when we were close to end the coup d'etat. I was supposed to have his back, but Danzo had some tricks up his right sleeve." Zero said clenching his fist tightly as Sarutobi's eyes soften at the young shinobi in front of him.

"After the massacre of the Uchiha clan, we took Mikoto and her son, Sasuke to the hospital. Fortunately, there were no injuries on them and I would guess that you had a slight intervention to their survival?" Sarutobi asked as Zero chuckle.

"Aren't you quick for an old man?" Zero asked as Sarutobi laughed.

"Even though these old bones are old, it doesn't mean my mind would be the same." Sarutobi stated as Zero smiled under his mask.

"I saved Mikoto from being killed and as for Sasuke, he was being put into a strong genjutsu causing him to be unconscious before the target escaped." Zero explained as Sarutobi look confusedly at him.

"Who is the target, Zero?" Sarutobi asked.

"The target was Itachi Uchiha. His own brother." Zero answered as Sarutobi was surprised by the answer.

"So, Itachi massacre his entire clan?" Sarutobi asked.

"Yeah. Without, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami we would have succeeded in our mission to stop the coup. But he died before he could. So, Itachi had to take the other option and that is to massacre the entire clan." Zero explained as Sarutobi took on a thinking pose.

"That is quite unfortunate. But it was for the village." Sarutobi said as Zero nodded.

"It was. Without him to massacre the clan. Fugaku would lead the entire clan with their dojutsus on taking the village. But despite all of this, he'll still killed the innocents in the Uchiha District." Zero stated with a clenched fist as Sarutobi put a hand on Zero's right shoulder.

"Well, you've done a great job, Zero. But I think you should rest for the time being." Sarutobi declared as Zero nodded.

"Yeah." Zero said preforming a handseal to deactivate the Soundproof barrier.

"Sarutobi, do you have any missions for Kushina?" Zero asked as Sarutobi took a scroll on his desk as he gave it to Zero's free hand which was his left hand since he held the tanto in his right.

"You are really doing her a favor, Zero. She always took care of Naruto, Fu and Yugito. But what is your relationship with her, I ask?" Sarutobi asked raising his left eyebrow.

"I'm a friend, that's all. I know of her burden of taking care of the kids. So, I planned to lessen the burden with doing her missions for myself. Also, put the reward money in her tab." Zero said putting the scroll inside his hip pouch, as he bows to Sarutobi and disappeared out of sight.

"I know you are lessening her burden, Zero. You are really doing her a favour, Zero. You really are…" Sarutobi said with a smile, looking at the spot where Zero disappeared to.


Zero appeared inside his apartment he owns for two years, and his rent was slowly being lowered, which got him thinking that it was Sarutobi's order for his repeatedly successful missions. So, after he went to ask the owner of the apartment, he was proven right as the owner answered that the Third Hokage asked him to lower his rent, which Zero was thankful even if it's a little because he could pay the rent for another three or five years. But he was thankful that Sarutobi helped him even if it was only his rent.

Zero then walked over to his couch and sat on it, putting the tanto on the desk in front of him as he pulled off his mask, revealing his eyes that took on the Eien no Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Shisui… I'll protect Konohagakure. I'll use the gift you gave me, my friend…" Izayoi mutters looking at the tanto, as he then lean his head against the soft fabric of the couch while he went through the memories that Shisui gave him in order to better know the Sharingan's ability.


Next day

Hospital

"Kaa-san, why are we going to the hospital?" Naruto asked as Kushina led him to the hospital with a worried look on her face.

"Because Kaa-san wants to see if her friend is alright, sochi." Kushina said as Naruto nodded in understanding and the two entered the hospital.

Kushina goes to the reception counter and spotted a nurse moving files to the desk.

"Excuse me?" Kushina asked catching the nurse's attention as she walked over to Kushina.

"How may I help you, Kushina-sama?" The nurse asked with a bow of her head, knowing the wife of the Sixth Hokage.

"I want to see Mikoto Uchiha. What room is she in?" Kushina asked as the nurse picked a file near the desk and look through the contents of the files with the top of the file had the name, Mikoto Uchiha on it.

"She's in room 5. Right down this hall." The nurse pointed out as Kushina nodded and she rushed over to the room while holding Naruto in her right hand.

When she spotted the room, she slides the room open and saw Mikoto sitting up from her hospital bed.

"Mikoto…" Kushina said as Mikoto look over her shoulder, seeing her friend at the door.

"Kushina!" Mikoto said with a smile, happy to see her friend. Kushina then walked over towards her with Naruto beside her.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Kushina asked as Mikoto smiled with a nod.

"Yeah, I'm okay. And so is, Sasuke." Mikoto said as Kushina look at her with a confused look.

"He is next door. The doctors told him he was fine as long as he had some rest." Mikoto informed her as she then spotted the little blonde haired boy next to Kushina.

"Hello, Naruto." Mikoto said waving her hand at him, as Naruto waved back.

"Hello. Mikoto-san." Naruto said with a smile.

"Isn't he a happy kid?" Mikoto asked as Kushina nodded with a smile.

"Naruto, can you wait outside? Kaa-san wants to talk to her friend for a minute." Kushina said as Naruto nodded and goes outside before he closed the door.

When Naruto stood outside, he saw a black haired boy passed by him to which Naruto thought that the boy look familiar.

With Kushina

"So, how did you survive the massacre, Mikoto?" Kushina asked as Mikoto look down with a smile adoring her features.

"Zero saved me." Mikoto said as Kushina raised an eyebrow on the name.

"You mean the new jounin?" Kushina asked hearing the name from several nins a while ago, who was talking about him.

"Yes. Without him, I would have been killed and Sasuke would be all alone." Mikoto said as Kushina smiled at her friend.

"Zero? Do I know him from somewhere?" Kushina thought as suddenly a vague but brief flashback came to her mind. She saw that in the flashback that she was eating ramen in the middle of the night. But unfortunately the flashback stops until there, which confuses her.

"What's going on?" Kushina thought.


Oh no, Kushina is starting to get her memory back! Will she get the memories late or early? Anyhow, where's Fu and Yugito? Again, what will happen to the next chapter? Better find out when I update.

Anyway, I hope you review, favorite and follow my Fanfic. And I like to thank you to my viewers who read my Fanfic today and yesterday. I appreciate it.
