Chapter 8 – The lies in the truth that lies among the lies of verbal words
"What exactly happened during that massacre anyway?" Tsunade thought for a moment before calling Shizune in.
"Hai. What is it, Tsunade-sama?" she asked politely.
"I want all the information about the Uchiha massacre, and fast."
"Hai, Tsunade-sama."
As she looked through the small number of folders on the desk, she spotted something.
"The only survivor of the massacre was 7 year old Uchiha Sasuke who is currently still bed-ridden in the hospital." She paused before reading it over again.
"7 year old Uchiha Sasuke…"
Her brows furrowed and her jaw dropped in amazement.
"Alright…if it isn't the Uchiha massacre, then what exactly caused him to be so traumatized to not be even able to take one step out of the hospital without being forced to?" However, no matter how hard she thought, she could not think of an explanation. "…He is only five…"
After resolving to finding out more about the massacre, she continued reading the article.
"This is the second time this seven-year old has been involved in a major murder incident; does he have a curse of death hovering over him? The culprit of this massacre is suspected to be Uchiha prodigy, Uchiha Itachi. In fact, this event has been the hot gossip which has been at the tip of everyone's tongues.
One very popular question has still not been answered yet.
Why did he kill the entire clan? If it was for the pure joy of seeing the deaths of his clan, why didn't he kill his younger brother? There have been many reasonable answers; some say his love for his brother was too great, some say his brother would be in his later plans for a future attack on Konoha. No matter whose explanation is right, the fact remains that both Uchihas' have become a significant threat to Konoha.
Presently, Hatake Kakashi an ANBU officer has full custody of the remaining Uchiha child.
Its seems that it was written in the will of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, that Uchiha Sasuke would be taken care of by Hatake Kakashi should anything unfortunate happen to either parent."
"…WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!"
