Time Skip-2 years later
"Itachi-kun," says Sakura, "Why does the world have to be so cold?"
"Ah Sakura," replies the 13 year old Itachi, "I don't know everything."
They both know what will soon transpire. Shisui had died a week before and Itachi was forced to choose between his clan and his village. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end as he will kill the clan. But with one exception.
"Sakura, please take care of my little brother."
"Of course, Itachi-kun."
That night
Atop one of the many Uchiha hideouts stands an ANBU, his figure illuminating from the moonlight. Moving as briskly as a cat, he jumps from the roof and the horror begins. Uchiha, young and old, are dead within minutes as he arrives to his last destination. Inside of the room he stands with his dead mother and father.
A frightened little boy rushes around the estate. Tears flow down his face as he sees crimson liquid staining the path of his once lively home. With fear, he bursts into his parents' room to find his brother behind them. Blood drips from the long blade when the older male turns to face him. Anger fills the features of the young boy when he realizes the situation.
"ITACHI! Why did you do this?!" Sasuke yells as he sprints towards the murderer, only to be punched in the gut.
"You are weak. Survive and kill me when you are strong... Tsukuyomi." Itachi calmly states as Sasuke fell to the ground.
Sasuke relived and watched his family die for 72 hours yet only a second.
At the Gates of Konoha
"Goodbye, Itachi-kun." Sakura gloomily states.
"Goodbye, Sakura." Then he dashes out of the gates.
Sakura takes a step forward, then a step back. She stares at the gates one last time before disappearing.
In both of their eyes, you can see a single teardrop leave as they separate.
