Chapter 2

The rays of a morning sun slowly were illuminating young boy's face and landing straight on his eyes. While turning out of general direction from which light was coming from he slowly opened his eyes and started to slightly rub them showing his slight tiredness.

He decided it was better to sit on his bed and slowly wake up then to go back to sleep again on this day, while sun was still rather low on horizon it slowly was illuminating his bright blond hair and his blue eyes.

He was looking around the room lazily looking at his small bookshelf with many books about ninjutsu and fuinjutsu for young children, and his brothers books about kenjutsu.

The he looked at the bed of his brother and his sprayed out body on it knowing that he will need to wake him up he decided to dress up and go to the bathroom.

After getting to the bathroom in his pajamas, he look at his reflection showing his 3 vulpine like whiskers on both of his cheeks, knowing what his Okaa-san would do if he didn't take shower, he shuddered and reluctantly got in the devils machination.

After taking the scorching hot shower firstly and later icy cold one cause he couldn't get it in the correct temperature, he took a towel after he wiped himself clean he took other towel to wear it around his waist and took off to his room too get some clothes to wear.

After changing to clothes appropriate for training, black T-shirt and black shorts with blue sandals, he looked at the bed of his older brother with a smile.

After getting a bucket from kitchen and filling it up with really cold water he readied himself to throw all of it's contents onto Menma's head.

"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD" was a first thing he heard before being splashed by ice cold water which made him fully awake in matter of seconds.

*Little bit later*

while Aiko was preparing the breakfast, she mused to herself that she needed to find Naruto some better way to spend his chaotic energy than pranking people even though she will admit that she is impressed with them and how good he is at executing them before anybody notices.

Meanwhile Menma was looking especially pissed at Naruto and planning his sweet revenge, Naruto was playing innocent like he didn't know why would he be angry at him.

After their breakfast Aiko took the boys to the basement which was rather spacious training room about 20m on 20m and height of 5 meters, with 10 training dummies, and small rooms with many bookshelves on many topics.

While Aiko knew what both boys would love to master fully she knew too that they should learn basics of other things and have a some understanding of human anatomy, so while she would focus with Naruto on Fuinjutsu and Ninjutsu together with later date nature transformation, and Menma on Kenjutsu and specifics of chakra infused styles of Kenjutsu,

she will teach both of them basics of everything from Taijutsu and First Aid too Shōheki and chakra control.

"starting today, we will be training everyday, I won't take any whining and I will make you run 10 laps. Am I making myself clear?!" in response boys shouted YES MA'AM "right today we will start with 50 sit ups, 50 squats and 20 push ups, NOW" as she shouted the boys started doing their assigned exercises.

After brothers finished their exercise, thought about what would be best to start with, right now they shouldn't strain their muscles too much so she decided to start with theoretical Ninjutsu and maybe teach them basic chakra control exercise i.e. not letting a leaf on your head to fall off your forehead without using your hands.

After that they started doing some basic Katas for their Taijutsu and Kenjutsu.

Like that days were passing by with Naruto and Menma training sometimes they were training with Makoto sometimes with Kiba, and other times with both of them.

Till the day of massacre.

For Makoto day started like always well he did go to train with his friends and was on his way back to complex with his parents, when they got to the complex Makoto was still talking about his spar with Naruto he didn't see anything that would seem out of place, while both adults were a different story, Mine was keeping her son preoccupied with telling his story of the spar while letting, her husband scan the area, until he saw one of the dead bodies.

He whispered to his wife to speed up a little to the house and hide in the basement while he would protect them cause he knew they were observed.

When both got to the home his mother quickly closed the door and said that they are going to the basement, knowing that the door won't stop the intruder for long.

"mom why are we going to the basement?" he didn't get any answer except the hush motion when they got to the lower part he heard the door above being cracked.

Seeing her son being scared she got close to him and promised "now nothing will happen to you do you believe in me?" boy slowly nodded and followed his mom to the corner where she used somekind of Shōheki that he didn't know.

He couldn't believe his eyes going down the stairs was bloodied Itachi.

Mine Uchiha was looking at her adversary, she knew that something wasn't right with Itachi right in front of her, before she could say anything he stabbed her with Katana still maintaining his blank stare but before she could die she had to know one thing.

"why have you killed them?" she asked weakly she knew she wouldn't be heard by Makoto and she knew that he wouldn't have seen him "because you were planning rebellion."

she wasn't part of that plan and she actively was against the coup, "then why did you kill us?"

there wasn't an answer having just a glance at his eyes she saw growing conflict inside of him,

Mine was thrown after that at the wall while he looked almost blankly at everything inside of him there was a war, he then looked right at Makoto and slowly going in his direction before grabbing his head and before he lost control again he ran out of the building.

Makoto was just looking at everything in pure shock while his eyes were rapidly flashing red and slowly stayed that way and showed 2 black tomoe before he lost his consciousness.

*Tomorrow*

When Aiko learned that there have been massacre in Uchiha complex she sprinted as fast as she could to the house of her friend and prayed to god that they were alive and well.

That's when she felt one small chakra signature in the basement, no one else except what she suspected to be Makoto, knowing that she shouldn't wait too long she has burst into the basement and located the dead body of the boys mother and the small boy in fetal position.

She got to him and quickly hold him up and ran out of the complex before he would wake up,

when the boys saw her mother and opened the door they saw their friend in her arms passed out and looking like he saw ghosts last night they walked beside Aiko to the spare bed to see when he will wake up.

After waking up Makoto was looking like empty shell he didn't talk to anyone shika kiba and choji with their parents were visiting him as often as they could, he couldn't get a nights rest cause of his frequent nightmares of what he saw, till one day looking at the brothers sitting on the floor near his bed just playing cards he cracked and started crying uncontrollably, the moment it started the whole Uzumaki family was there to comfort him and remind him that he wasn't alone in this, Aiko herself went to district with a pass from council to collect anything for Makoto so he could learn any clan techniques, and everything that could help him with his trauma.

After few months Makoto slowly started talking with his friends still he wasn't same, he looked little bit better not being as pale as when he was brought home but he wouldn't smile so often or even laugh.

Till one night he decided to go talk with Aiko, he was scared of even thinking about what happened but he couldn't stop thinking about it every night it was the same goddamn nightmare of him being closed in that damn transparent prison being useless, he couldn't go on like this.

When he opened the door he saw Aiko looking at the picture of her and his mother, when she looked at him her smile beckoned him to get closer and sit down, he started to recount the whole story of him going back home, getting there and going straight to the basement and being put into some kind of Shōheki, and seeing bloodied Itachi kill his MOTHER in cold blood, and he doesn't remember anything else.

While Aiko was happy that he has told her about everything she was confused about one thing why didn't Itachi kill him.

After that night Makoto slowly began to become his old self not fully still he had those moments but he was being pulled out of them by his friends, while he was training with them now he had his own thing to learn.
