Chapter 14: Stories of the Father and the Son.
Itachi POV
In their free time, Itachi spent time with his eldest son and taught him the secrets of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Whenever this was happening, Kyoko was occupied with the twins elsewhere, she never spoke to Itachi. She truly thought that he was a sick bastard. One time while Kyoko and the twins were taking a nap together, Itachi decided to ask his son something.
"Kyo-kun, I must ask you something."
"Yes father?"
"I know that there is no other way to develop the Mangekyo Sharingan unless someone dies and passes it on, or unless you killed someone close to you. How did you really develop you Mangekyo?" he asked seriously.
Kyo sighed. "Alright, you got me. The thing was an accident really. You see, my friend Creed and I were practicing throwing Kunai. We were only five years old, but we liked to practice. I've always looked up to Uncle Sasuke even when I didn't know he was my uncle. I wanted to get as good as he was. LOL Irony While we were throwing them, I accidentally threw it at him.
"His mother came in, and tried to get an explanation for why her son was dead, but I was in so much shock that I was silent. Whenever mom asked me about it I always acted as if I forgot what happened. Like it was so horrible that it was erased from my memory. In fact it haunts me every night. That's why I still know every detail. When Orocimaru bit me I was tortured even more with the memory." He said now looking as if he would cry if he hadn't trained himself not to.
Itachi bent down and embraced his son.
"I wish it never happened!" Kyo cried into his father's ear.
"That makes two of us." Itachi said looking into his son's eyes. "I regret it everyday what I did to our clan. I regret it every day that I hurt your uncle so much. Do you want to know the truth about what I have done since you have told me what you have done?" he asked his son seriously.
"Yes." He said whipping away a tear. "yes I do."
Itachi smiled, and sat down next to his son. "This is what happened. You see, the reason I joined Akatsuki in the first place is because of orders, from the Third Hokage and three councilors. I never wanted war. I never wanted to hurt anyone. When I was just a boy our village was in war. It seemed like Hell to me. I dedicated my life to gaining peace. My father, your grandfather, was the head of the police and wanted me to work there and the Hokage had a special ops unit named ANBU. I was accepted as an ANBU, and I was given orders strait from the Hokage. My father was the one who made me join so that I could be his spy. However the Hokage used me as one as well so I became a double agent. My father was forming a rebellion within our clan to take over Konoha as our own.
"This would obviously end up in a civil war. If that started then we would be unstable. They ordered me as a mission to destroy my clan, leave Konoha, and become part of Akatsuki." He held up a ring on his right ring finger. "This ring is what makes us members of Akatsuki. It can not come off our hand unless we are killed. This means that we are members until we die. Konoha forced me to kill my parents and aunt and uncle while Madara Uchiha killed the rest of my clan. I found him and made ultimatum with him.
In return for his revenge against our clan he would agree not to make any moves against the village. He would help me murder our family. The Third Hokage refused to accept what was going on. He tried everything he could to convince the others that reconciliation with my clan was the answer. But time ran out, and I had to do my orders.
"Sasuke was late coming home from practice, and I was thankful so that he didn't have to physically witness the massacre. But my orders were to kill him as well. I couldn't do it. Instead I told him that I had played the part of his ideal older brother in order to measure his capacity. I told him he has potential to become an opponent that can test the limits of me. I told him to fill his heart with hatred and jealousy so that he could surpass me. I wanted him to keep thinking that the Uchiha clan was the pride our Konoha. I begged the Hokage to make sure he never learned the truth. I want him to ...to kill me and no one else." He finished looking at his son.
"No Daddy! I don't want him to kill you!" he said hugging him.
"He has to Kyo. And please don't try to stop him."
"But why daddy?"
"Because when I die I can give him the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"But daddy!"
"No buts son! He has to do this. He's more resourceful than I am. When I die I can finally give him a new power. Not only that, but I feel so much guilt and I have so many dreams reminding me of that night that I want it all to end." He said suddenly coughing very harshly.
"Daddy? Are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine." He said with a smile as he looked down on his son. They went back to their training, but what they didn't know was that Kyoko was coming to tell them, well mainly just Kyo, that dinner was ready. She heard everything.
AN: Sorry, had to wait for the Manga to finish Itachi's background. Also sorry for the cliffie.
