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.

14. Chapter 13

13. I did warn you.

As I said, Faran Uchiha died there, and Kraken Uchiha and I were both created from two parts of Faran Uchiha. Don't ask me how it worked. But either way, the poison was soon combated by my body, and so when I came around, I was left with a wolf pup and a deep scar in my right arm. I wasted no time in freeing the wolf pup, and then sat down and considered what to do next. In the end I decided to go back into the village, but not before I had decided to attempt to contact the other entity that had been depicting my movements not too long ago.

"Hello..." I thought "Is anyone there?"

"No, nobody is here, you are talking to yourself and going slightly crazy." came the answer. This was followed by a laugh that sounded very much like my own, and I realized that I was the one that was laughing. The rest of all that was said between us was said out loud, probably freaking out the wolf cub. "Nah, I am just kidding. Pleased to introduce myself, I am Kraken Uchiha, the fourth remnant of the Uchiha clan. Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but Faran Uchiha is not alive anymore... Then who am I? ... You are, well I don't know, but Faran Uchiha began to die of grief soon after the Uchiha massacre. You are the 1st remnant of Faran Uchiha and the third remnant of the Uchiha clan... Then, you are another remnant of Faran Uchiha... Bingo! First time... Well then, if you name yourself Kraken Uchiha, and you took the surname of the original, I take the first name. I am Faran... Faran who? You are going to need a fake name in order to hide yourself. I mean, as soon as Itahi finds out that he missed you, well it ain't pretty. Oh, by the way, your taking this a lot better than I thought you would, hello, are you still there... You are the creed of the Uchiha clan, oh, sorry, I might have drifted off. The creed. Faran. The creed. Faran. You know, my name means danger. The fan of danger. I was named this because my father thought that I would fan the flames of danger, and because of my weakness, I would endanger all those who tried to protect me. Yet hadn't I just proved that I did not need protecting. The creed of the Uchiha clan. Faran...Kredo. The creed of danger. That will be my name. The creed of the Uchiha clan, the clan that I am in that now puts me in danger. It is a suitable name... Good, I am glad you like it, oh, by the way, I hope you don't mind me taking up lodgings in your head, cause I am whether you mind or not... wait, what... hey come back... umm... please... oh, you're gone."

That was how I got my name.

I didn't hear from Kraken again for years, I almost thought that he hadn't ever existed when my rage exploded again.

Author's note: I know that I said that I would not post anymore until I got a review, but I decided that I would post this chapter to keep you interested rather than loose the (possibly non-existent) fans that I have.
