Later that evening, Sasuke rushed home after a day of shuriken training but he came to a complete halt, shocked to see every Uchiha member dead and blood smeared all over the clan house. Devastated, he walked further in to see more corspes. Than something caught his eye; a dark figure standing on top of a pillar, staring at him with Sharingan eyes.
"Brother?" He called out, but the shadow quickly disappeared out of sight. As Sasuke proceeded to his house, he heard slashings and screams before running in but was too late, there in the main hall laid the bodies of his parents piled on top of each other as the similar shadow re-appeared from the darkness. Itachi revealed himself to see his younger brother filled with discontentment, as the young and inexperienced Sasuke ran towards him. It all ended when Itachi delivered a hard punch to his abodmen. Lying on the ground in pain, Sasuke called out to Itachi, "Why brother? Why?" Exiting through the front door, Itachi said his final words as he left, "Foolish younger brother,if you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me, and survive in an unsightly way! Run, run and cling to life! And one day, when you have the same eyes as me, come before me."
Quickly making himself scarce from the bloodmath, he met up with Yagami and the other Akatsuki members at the outskirts of the village.
"Is it done?" Yagami asked. Itachi replied confidently, "Yes, everything was done according to your biddings, none were spared."
"I still sense a survivor..." Itachi immediately went down on his knees to explain, "It's our younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke. He's still breathing just as you instructed me to leave him alive."
"Good, you've gathered all the hatred you need. From this day fore, you're no longer associated with the village of Konoha, but instead re-born as a missing nin. You, Uchiha Itachi, are henceforth pronounced...a member of Akatsuki." Yagami took out his kantana and slashed a line across Itachi's headband. Than Yagami signalled the other member to step forward.
"This is Hoshigaki Kisame, he will be your partner from now onwards." Yagami introduced as he patted his brother on the shoulder.
"The death of Shisui, I know all about it and how you got the Makekyo Sharingan. I will train you more as I brief you on our latest mission; Kisame and you will gather information to claim the spirit of the Kyuubi. It is said to be sealed in the body of this lad...Uzumaki Naruto."
"Yes, the legacy of Konoha. He's still young, let us wait till he's more matured..."
