Anyways Thx for all the views. Never thought that people would read my work, but here v are. So major thx for all the support.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Naruto Character or plot.

Konoha Hospital (2 days after the massacre)

Sasuke had just woken up. He had seen his parents and big brother being killed ruthlessly and with a smile in his face by the one he had considered his big brother, his own older cousin, Shisui. He had killed everyone in the Uchiha clan except him to "test his anger". His mind was filled with hatred and anger, he didn't know what he would do. But he had one thought that filled his entire mind. Kill Uchiha Shisui.

He still couldn't open his eyes. His body and mind was still tired after the pain he had faced. He slowly opened his eyes and he saw the sunlight hit his eyes like fiercely. He turned his face away from the light and was shocked to see his brother sitting there. "But that goddamn traitor said he had killed his brother." Was his thoughts. He finally came to a conclusion. "Either this is a genjutsu or he was dead." "You are not dead little brother" was the reply came from his big brother. It was like Itachi read Sasuke's mind. "If I am not dead. Why did "he" tell me that you are dead?" "I even saw you die with my own two eyes." Sasuke was still skeptical of believing that this was his brother. He needed confirmation. "He did what every ninja does, lie." Replied Itachi, his calm look not going away from his face and his face not betraying the fact that he was very relieved when Sasuke had woken up. "I don't understand." Sasuke's voice was cracking up now. "I was on a mission, I just learnt what "he" had done as I just came back to the village. The Hokage informed me." lied Itachi with the calm look still in his face.

What Itachi said to his brother was a lie but he had no choice. After Shisui had left, Itachi went straight to the Hokage's office. The third Hokage sensing his presence had sent all of his Anbu's out. "Welcome Itachi" he greeted one of the only remaining Uchiha. "Hokage sama, you would have heard everything from Shisui." "Ah yes, I did. How Danzo had tried to betray me and he had no choice but to install the massacre. I had heard everything from Shisui. His only request was that I take care of both you and Sasuke." "How noble of him, sacrificing his own self and loyalty and be branded as a traitor for the sake of peace" said the Third Hokage with respect in his old voice.

"He always used to say that he believed in ninja's who protected from the shadows." Said Itachi. "That he did." Said the Third Hokage chuckling. "Anyways Itachi, I have decided young Sasuke needs you the most, so I have relieved you from all of your Anbu duties. I wanted you to take a genin team but I won't force it on you, it's your choice. But I, The THird Hokage order you to take care of your little brother for thenext year or so." "Hai Hokage sama" was the reply came from the best friend of the teleporter as he teleported away. And for the next two days he was near his brother hoping that he would wake up and this brings us back to the present.

"How could he do that, big brother?" Sasuke started crying and hugged his brother for support. "He was our brother, he loved the Uchiha more than us. He would always say that he was proud to be an Uchiha. How could he do this to us?!" Itachi was consoling his little brother. He could not tell the truth to him and it pained him to see his best friend be treated as a traitor instead of a savior. "How can be calm even now?" Sasuke asked after his crying had subsided a little bit. "You would become like that after being a ninja." Was the only reply that came?

After a few more days of rest, Sasuke was discharged from the hospital and was taken to his house by his older brother. Itachi cooked for both of them and took care of Sasuke till he was fine both mentally and physically. But Sasuke had changed. He was not the same cheerful child he was. He became a typical Uchiha, the one who held massive hatred towards someone and was hell bent on getting his revenge. Itachi finalized that he could not change his attitude right now, but he was going to change his thought of revenge.

A week after Sasuke had fully recovered. He asked his brother, "Can you train me big brother?" "Sure" came a reply from the other end of the house. A few minutes later, both left a house and when Itachi started heading towards the place where the usually trained, Sasuke's hand held him back. "Let's go somewhere else, brother. I don't want to train there anymore". So they headed to one of the many training grounds in Konoha.

"Let's start with taijutsu" said Itachi and Sasuke nodded. Both of them got into a fighting stance. "The spar ends when you hit me once." Said Itachi and Sasuke was annoyed by that, but he knew that getting a hit on his brother was rly hard for some one of his standard and lvl.

Sasuke started running towards Itachi and tried to punch him but Itachi dodged with ease and Sasuke turned around to hit his brother but his brother suddenly turned into a log. "Substitution" he thought. He again rushed his his brother, but unlike last time, he threw some shurikens on Itachi's left and a smoke bomb in their vicinity. He followed the path his shurikens took and formed handselas and did his clans famous jutsu.

"Fire style: Great Fireball Justu" He thought he had hit his brother but suddenly a hand touched his shoulder from his back and he immediately turned back, courtesy of his reflex and the next thing he knew was that he had been kicked so hard that he went and hit a tree face first. This continued for the next 2 hrs and the one thing that repeated was that Sasuke thought that he had gotten his brother but was betrayed by the reality that he was being played by his brother.

After the 2 hours of taijutsu training and due to Sasuke's pestering, Itachi made him train his 'Fire style: Great Fireball Jutsu" and he was resting in a tree while overseeing his brother. Itachi already knew that 2 crows had been following them and both of them had a genjutsu set that only people with Mangekyou Sharingan can see it. Only one could put a genjutsu of that level and have crow summons. Shisui. The crow which was following him came down to Itachi and gave him a letter.

"Yo, hope you and Sasuke are doing well. These crows will be my eyes on you as I did promise both of your parents that I'll take care of you both. I won't say my location now for reasons but the one thing I wanna say is that I am never gonna give you up. (A.N: XD. I just had to do it, my hands couldn't stop it lol) Take care and I'll message you again when I can."

Itachi smiled reading the letter and summoned a crow of his own, wrote a letter and sent it.

Somewhere in the border of Rain:

A man who wore a dragon mask and a black cloak with onyx eyes and hair smiled on reading the message he had received from a crow and he had let the piece of paper fall and suddenly it engulfed in flames as the man teleported away.

The message was "Be safe out there"
