Chapter 3: Night of Truth

One year had passed and Ishiku had finally mastered his father's training in Taijutsu, after seeing this Father begun teaching Ishiku how to use Chakra. That day Ishiku trained hard until he mastered his Chakra control. This took him one year to do but after that one year of training his father was amazed at how far he had come, mastering it at his age at that moment his Father knew it was time to teach him Fire Style techniques. But this made him worry as he also couldn't allow Ishiku to know the truth about his heritage. It was also Ishiku's tenth Birthday so he decided to teach him the Jutsu on that day.

"Hey Ishiku came here for a minute we have something here for you" Yelled Ishiku's father, as both of Ishiku's parents were sitting down at the table.

"What is it Dad" Said Ishiku

"Well me and your mother where thinking that since it's your tenth birthday, that we give you these" Said his Father as he pulled out a box of items from under the table and handing it over to Ishiku. Ishiku instantly opened the box, the box contained ninja tools that belonged to his parents along with a pile of old scrolls. But what caught his eye was a headband that was sitting on top of everything; the headband was carrying the symbol of the Leaf Village on its metal plate.

"Where did you guys get all of this stuff" Asked Ishiku

"Everything in that box used to belong to me and your father when we used to live in the Hidden Leaf Village before we retired and moved out to live here, but now since we have no use for it we decided to give everything to you, so you can use it to help you train" Said Ishiku's Mother

"Thank you" Said Ishiku as he hugged both of his Parents.

"But that's not all Ishiku, come with me to the forest" Said Ishiku's Father as they both walked outside.

"What is it Dad" Asked a Ishiku

"Today I'm going to begin training you on how to use your chakra to produce fire"

"Can you really do that" Asked Ishiku starting to get excited.

"Sure you can watch" His Father then formed a set of hand sign, as he then launched a fireball into the sky.

"Wow, how did you do that" Asked Ishiku amazed at the technique.

"Alright then listen carefully first perform the required hand signs and then concentrate your chakra to your lungs, Once that is done you expel it from your mouth"

"Alright then I'll give it try" Ishiku then performed the hand signs; he was able to produce only a small little flame.

"Wow for you first try you did alright but it will require allot more concentration than that, well anyway I'm heading back you coming"

"I'm going to stay here a bit longer and keep trying"

"Alright then, but don't stay out too late then" Said his father as he walked back home leaving his son to his training. Ishiku spent all day practicing the technique but fell unconscious due to the lack of chakra. When he had woken up it was late so he headed home before he's parents started to worry. As his house came into sight he heard his mother scream. Ishiku sprinted to the house to see what was going on. As he walked through the door he saw something that he didn't want to believe. His parents were lying on the floor, blood all over the floor. Ishiku rushed over to his parents.

"Mum, Dad please say something" Cried Ishiku but it was no use there was no sign of life. He then felt someone's presence behind him; he quickly turned around to see a man standing there, his eyes shining bright red in the darkness of the room.

"Who are you and why did you kill my parents"

"My name is Itachi Uchiha, and the reason to why I killed them is none of your concern" Ishiku then noticed the man was wearing the same headband that his parents gave him the only difference was it had its symbol crossed out.

"You're from the same Village as my parents, did you know them"

"Yes I do know them, why it's because we share the same heritage"

"What Heritage I don't know what you're talking about"

"That's because they kept it hidden from you"

"Kept what hidden"

"That you're an Uchiha"

"That's a lie; my parents told me that the Uchiha clan didn't exist"

"They lied, why you think they left the village then, also take a look at your father's eyes" Ishiku then turned to look at his father, noticing that his eyes had turned the same colour as Itachi's.

"Those eyes are the Sharingan the Uchiha's Heritage" For once Ishiku was shocked, he was telling the truth they did keep allot of things a secret from him. Ishiku shocked from all of the information ran from the house, as he was running he could her Itachi's voice.

"If you want to kill me, go to the leaf village and find my younger brother Sasuke, as you know share the same fate as him" Ishiku turned around to see if he was following but couldn't see him. Ishiku then stopped and collapsed to the ground as tears begun to fall from his eyes, he wished none of it was true. He then closed his eyes and fell asleep hoping that all that just happened was not real and instead hoping it was all a dream.
