Authors Note

Kimblee here. For my first fanfiction period I really wanted to make everything perfect. I had worked on the first chapter for two weeks editing and revising my work. Then came along today when I had a moment of to hell with it and decided to put the finishing touches and see how it did. Turns out I'm doing three chapters in one day. Anyway, I would like feedback as this is my first fanfiction. Thank you.

Also just to clear a few things up. While I am currently following the canon timeline, that will be the only canon part of the series. Characters will be slightly OOC, or maybe just have made some wrong decisions, or are just plain evil.

So keeping that in mind, enjoy the ride.

Sasuke's POV

Before Sasuke knew it, his whole world was on fire, literally. The last thing he remembered was a big fireball trying to swallow him, but before the fire could kill him, the concussive blast blew Sasuke into the sky. Immediately dazed by the explosion, Sasuke barely registered the searing burns afflicting his arms, legs, parts of his face and majority of his chest. He hardly registered crashing on the ground in a smouldering heap or the screams of the dying men behind him. The last thing he saw was his older brother running towards him before he blacked out.

At the Uchiha Compound

Already wide awake having known about the trap set in place, Fugaku and Mikoto were waiting for the inevitable explosion. Not anticipating any trouble, both of them split up to gather the Uchiha ninja in preparation for war.

The Hokages Office

5 minutes ago

While Sarutobi Hiruzen sat patiently viewing his crystal ball behind his desk, Danzo, having sent out his team first, also waited for the return of his two most trusted agents.

After an audible sigh, Hiruzen ended the jutsu. "I thought you said those two were the best?" He said with an annoyed tone.

Danzo could have terrified any genin, chunin or jounin, with the amount of hostility he was giving off towards the Third Hokage. "What happened?"

"Fu hardly put up a fight before getting his arm chopped off. Torune just sat there with a thumb up his ass while it happened. Then Fu got impatient and attempted to secure Sasuke without any sign of a preoccupied Itachi. Now it was Torune's turn to be incompetent and after a brief scuffle he decided the best move was to get stabbed in the lung." Hiruzen paused to chuckle at Danzo's expression.

"I almost wondered if he had planned to use his jutsu at all. Now like the genius he was, Fu decided to go assist his dumbass teammate instead of securing the objective when given the opportunity. All in all it made for a great show of Root's capabilities in combat and effectiveness." Hiruzen Finished with a laugh.

Danzo gripped his cane with immense rage. "What do we do about-

A mighty explosion rocked the walls of the Hokage tower as the two elders watched part of the village light up in a fiery storm.

Disregarding the explosion as an everyday occurrence, Danzo continued. " So what do we need to do in order to acquire Sasuke?"

Before the Hokage could respond an Anbu reported in, "Lord Hokage, the explosions were mostly in the civilian housing sections. Casualties numbered in the-."

Hiruzen cut him off, "You and any Anbu are to assist with cleanup and evacuation of citizens. And on another note, Fetch Kakashi and Tenzo immediately."

"Yes sir!" said the disappearing Anbu.

Danzo looked at the Hokage inquisitively. "Kakashi and Tenzo? Wouldn't that be a little overkill?"

Hiruzen shook his head, "Kakashi is needed due to having a sharingan. If we are to take Itachi down we will need another sharingan. Tenzo would be very useful in navigating the forests of konoha stealthily, in case this battle finds its way outside the village."

Danzo leaned back in his chair, content. "I can only hope those Uchiha traitors will all be eliminated this time. Every. Last. One." He spoke with a layer of venom in his voice.

Hiruzen grinned, "That, my friend, will be a guarantee.

Noticing two presences entering the room, Danzo peered at Kakashi and Tenzo indifferently.

"What are your orders, Lord Hokage?" Asked the two Anbu in sync.

"You are tasked with the assassination of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. I suspect they have left the village already so hurry. Dismissed!" Ordered Hiruzen.

Sasuke's POV

He was in pain. That much was obvious. Sasuke Uchiha was extremely lucky to be alive.

'Where am I..?' He thought looking around. It was daytime, there were trees everywhere and Sasuke noticed he was lying on a bed. His body was wrapped in bandages and he had an IV sticking into his arm.

"Ah. Your awake." Said an unfamiliar voice.

Sasuke turned his head and gazed at the man. He was sitting down in a chair next to the bed. He was wearing a peculiar mask, with one eye hole. He had long black hair and gave off an air of calm.

"Who are you..?" Sasuke asked, getting honestly tired of meeting new people every second.

"I am one of your clan elders, my dear Sasuke. I am Uchiha Madara."
