Chapter 26

The past part 2

The throne like chair sat in the middle of the room, empty as always.

It was my grandfather's place, and it could never be taken, until the finest Uchiha or the Uchiha even better than him, stood a chance at the throne.

I looked around the room; it was still dark seeing as it was getting quite late, candles were burning in each corner of the room.

It just made the room at that point more unsettling, mysterious, it was as if something was going to happen and I was the only one who didn't know it.

I slowly paced around the room, until I reached the door that lead into the hall.

At that point I was violently thrown towards the wall, my arms above my head, my sharingon blazing.

I was completely helpless and that was something that never happened to me not anymore.

The thugs hand was around my neck as if trying to choke me but not enough to kill me, just to make me struggle under his grip, his head band covering his eye's, and it was a sound one at that.

I felt anger come over me, the sound. It was something my father talked about often; He is in the police force, he always gave me some information about the current events in neighbouring villages, but most of all he knew a lot about the sound.

I never found the time to ask him why?

It was just the tone of voice he used when he talked about the sound in general.

Maybe I'd ask him when I got out of this man's grip.

Father said that I recall that, there was a man trying to overpower it to take control of the country, orochimaru.

He told me he was one of the great sannin.

Also that he was taught by the third Hokage and had amazing power and intelligence.

But one question came over me, why was there a sound ninja in our home?

The anger I felt earlier began to boil, like I was a bubble about to burst.

I wouldn't stand for someone pushing me around, this was my home not there's.

I felt myself fill a sensation like a burst of energy in my stomach.

It could only be one thing, the fire ball jutsu.

This was something I used fairly often when I was smaller but not so much now it was hardly ever that I was in the possession to have to use it.

A devious smirk found its way onto my face as the mans grip on my neck loosened considerably. "Hey" I said in a low and almost evil voice my red eyes gleaming in the candlelight.

I lifted up my head my hair slowly falling out of place.

He was obviously shocked by my actions, as he tried to shake of his shocked look but I was and Uchiha I could see anything even if it was an action that was only 2 seconds.

"Hey yourself kid" he said in an obviously made up hard voice, as he looked up at me.

My smirk grew larger, while the man still seemed to be in a state of mind where he thought that he was above me. He was so wrong, with one of my hands that were pushed against the wall I did the hand signs for the fire ball jutsu and a raging amount of fire erupted from my lips right in the face of the unsuspecting man.

He automatically let go of my wrist and clutched at his face, in a desperate attempt to make the pain go away, this was a foolish action as all Uchiha's know, the pain only spreads the more you fight it away.

I smirked as the man walked around the dark room away from me falling onto the floor from time to time.

He found his way out of the room, pushing past me, clutching his face. He ran through the paper door and away from the Uchiha mansion, I doubt he would ever return.

I walked straight ahead not wanting to be around when he screams at me for the pain to stop, even if he was a long way away. There was still the chance I could hear his screams but I didn't care.

"Very good Itachi" I stood still my spine almost stuck in its possession as well as the rest of my body.

Someone else was here? I didn't even sense anyone's presence, not even at the slightest?

"Who are you?" I asked, straightening up and standing still.

"you know who I am Itachi" he called back there was a short sharp sound behind me, which made me jump back a kunai in hand, I would never let the enemy behind me.

I crouched down in my possession as I watched the dark patch where I was standing before for any moment what so ever so I knew when I should strike. my eye's dodged from left to right as I watched the spaces around me.

then I felt a sharp hit at the back of my neck which sent me onto my knees, I turned quickly to see a candle being held, the bottom of his face visible, he was pale, oh so pale.

"Do you know who I am now Itachi?" the man asked as he brought the candle to the middle of his face.

His long black hair fell lifelessly around his face, yellow eyes like a snake and pale oh so pale skin.

I squinted who was it, "I don't know who you are?" I said dropping my head to face the floor.

He knelt down beside me taking my chin in his hand, "of course you don't Itachi" he said with a smile.

" But your father dose." With a burst of brightness all the lights in the room came on, I pulled my hand to my forehead, I looked around.

Then something caught my attention, there on the floor in one corner of the room laid a sprawled out body, the dark hair spread all over the floor.

There was a dark blanket covering this body which made it even more difficult to fathom who it was.

Then I looked to the other side of the room, there stood two large men holding another man in the middle, no body but my father, Uchiha Fugaku.

He struggled in the grip of the two men, I looked up to the man standing over me still, and he was smiling to himself, while I looked confused all around the room.

"You still don't know do you?" he said. I nodded at him; he gave out an aspirate sigh and got up from his crouching possession next to me.

He walked slowly over to my father taking long strides his long black hair swinging behind him.

He stood in front of my father, the same smirk on his face, "let's ask your father shall we?" he said turning to face Fugaku.

One of the men holding my father swiftly put his hand over Fugaku mouth; the other man leaned in his ear pressed closely to the covered mouth of Fugaku.

"Not going to say anything?" he asked, and then turned away from them all.

While my father struggled helplessly in the grip of the two large men, screaming angry threats into the mans hand.

The other man the one who I was still completely confused who it was walked away from the scene unfolding in the opposite corner of the room as if nothing was happening.

I looked dazed around the room, what was happening why my father was acting this way.

Then it hit me I knew who it was, my eyes went wide, no I couldn't be?

I pulled my arms loosely around myself, he walked over to the sprawled out body.

Bending down he picked a small piece of the black cloth, "why don't we ask you're…" he pulled the blanket off to revel the most horrible and haunting sight it have ever seen.

"Mother!" my eyes widened even more, this couldn't be happening on the floor there she was face down her shining black hair all over the floor; she was laid as if she had been thrown on the grown.

All I could do was stare in shock, this couldn't be happening, not to me.

It wasn't like me to get so emotional but at that moment I really wanted to cry, break things anything that would let me released the amount of pain I was feeling.

I staggered to my feet, making my way towards him, orochimaru.

I nearly feel over my own feet as I walked towards him and my mother, the smell of blood was thick in the air, I knew where it was coming from and the sooner I got rid of the man standing before me the sooner the smell would fade and all this would change to a distant memory.

My eyes were now becoming darker as the more steps I took towards orochimaru the more anger I felt towards him.

Soon enough I was standing straight in front of him.

My deep red eyes staring into his own yellow ones.

"Get out" I said, he looked at me shocked for a moment before he really understood what I was saying.

"is that any way to treat your father" he said a smug smirk on his face.

" you're not my father" I said menacingly, he laughed lightly but all in all it was still an evil laugh.

He stooped and looked at me straight in my eyes, "guess again" he said as a poof of smoke surrounded him.

I stood there shocked; I was in my own little world. He wasn't my father, the smoke cleared revealing the man I was just looking at held back by two large men.

My father a mug look on his face, I looked around me where he was once standing I saw the same man I was talking to a few seconds ago, orochimaru he was bound by still two large men who were looking very confused, of course it was sound subordinates.

My father turned towards them, he preformed a jutsu and they turned into almost like statues not even noticing that they were holding down there leader, I was just very confused I looked back to my father, he was almost dusting off his hands as If he had something on them, which of course there was not.

Then it hit me, was my mother was like this because of him, I looked over to her sprawled out body, it was still there, no illusion it was true.

I walked over to her side, hoping to see that she was at the very least still breathing.

I touched her very silky black hair, her face was pale as always but it seemed even paler felt a hand on my shoulder I turned to see nobody but my father he was towering over me, like I was a little child again, but things were different now, and I didn't expect what was going to happen next.

I stared up at him; he just stood there looking down on me.

Then in a split second he punched me hard in the jaw, it sent me falling to the floor beside my mother, her pale face looking at mine, I felt a moment of weakness again and my father took this to his advantage and he wrapped his hands around my neck.

It felt like daysha vu, this had happened not to long ago, was there any point in fighting back.

There was nothing left for me here, my mother was my world, the only person who thought me as normal. She lightened my darkest days, she accepted me, I was her son, not an outcast. I was a real human being to her, she was my whole world, and if she wasn't there who was.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as, his hands grew tighter around my neck. I opened my watery eyes to see the same red eyes staring into my own.

I coughed and chocked out, "you aren't my father", I glared at him for my position on the floor.

He smirked and held my neck a little tighter.

I felt my eyelids drop, and I blacked out, in front of my father, next to my mother.

I thought it was the end.


Itachi POV

I woke up to see there was again the fresh smell of blood everywhere but I only presumed that it was me.

I moved to sit up straight and I felt no pain. I was in the same possession as when I had left, I looked around the room, it was dark and there seemed to be no one here with me.

Then I turned to were my mother was once laid, she was still there, but she was in a different possession her face was facing towards the ceiling and there was a sleeping look on her face, her eyes were close but yet she still was as pale as when I remembered.

I stroked her cheek with my hand, she was as cold as ice, I was shocked as I knew at that moment that my mother was dead.

Then next to her laid the man that I knew did this, my father. Yet he had the same expression as he normally did stoic and uncaring but there was the dark cloth draped over his body.

My eyes went wide, someone was here or something. The last thing I remembered was Fugaku strangling me, but now he was lid silently next to my mother.

I covered my mouth, was he gone too? I got to my knees; I felt the cold material meet my skin and shivered. Looking down at my black shirt it seemed soaked lifted the shirt out and the tint of red caught my eye, blood.

I just didn't get it though; I wasn't hurt so where was the blood coming from. Then it hit me, I crawled with every once of my energy toward him.

I pulled back the black cloth that was drenched around him. There was a massive gash in his stomach, a hole right the way through his body. I dropped the cloth out of my hand and backed away slightly. He was dead, mother was dead, and I was on my own.

Then it occurred to me, I was on my own again, and no one was here, I was going to get the blame for everything.

I panicked, what if everyone blamed me, I contemplated all the scenario's, in a way I wanted both my parents to be here to make this decision for me.

And even if they were I wouldn't even have to make this decision and everything would be so much easier.

The idea came to mind to blame my father, but tainting the name of a respected man like that well that didn't really matter as much as if, Sasuke would believe our father was a monster.

That would just send him out of control and he would make the wrong decisions, so the only thing to do was to blame myself and hope that he would forgive me.

Or at least work hard enough to be strong enough to stop this ever happening to the people he loved.

So it was settled, I would be blamed for the murder of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha and I would take full responsibility, but if I was to stay in Konoha I know that I would be hunted down at fast as you could day my name so the only option was to escape from the place were I grew up and where these dramatic events took place.

The only way to get out unseen this would be to get under the Uchiha mansion and use the underground escapes that only we had in the whole of Konoha. I looked around me, the only form of disguise was the blood ridden blanket, and this would have to do.

I thought at I threw it around me, I walked to the emptiest part of the Uchiha mansion, there was no one here. Which was odd as the streets always seemed to be bussing with at least a few people, it based it on the time as I opened one of the small door that led out of Konoha, the only one that my family knew about.

I looked around the Uchiha mansion one last like, the whole place was still and tranquil but wouldn't be for much longer. I closed the door and left that day. To never return to the Uchiha mansion.


Mystery POV

I stood there was this happening, on to floor laid the great Uchiha Itachi, his eyes closed was he, he was passed out. Fugaku standing over him his hands firmly clasped on his neck as if to kill him.

I felt instinct kick in and I made my way fast to his side. I chucked him out of the way with so much force that he made a dent in the large wall.

I herd his back click, maybe the force I used was so hard but it was enough to stop him for doing anymore to the helpless version of Uchiha Itachi, or anyone else for that matter.

I bent down next to Itachi, he was breathing but not as strong as I would have hoped.

I would take him out of here after I was finished with fuagek. His head was down but he was still sat up straight by the support of the wall. I stridden over to him I was confused of the situation and I wanted answers. I lent down next him, "why?" I said.

He looked up to me from the corner of his eye.

He knew what I was talking about but for some reason he wanted to deny it. "What?" he said giving me an evil smirk. I sighed and in a flash I pulled out a kunai and sliced part of his shoulder and shirt.

He clutched it and gave out a curse of pain. He gave me another glare and gave a deadly threat under his breath. "fine" I said and got up from next to him, I walked over to the figure covered by a dark black blanket, I was about to lift it off when I herd Fugaku call out "stop now" he said his voice maniacally low and it sounded as if he was saying it through clench teeth.

I turned to see him struggling to stand, his hand against the wall to help his keep his balance. He took deep breath's every time he got a little way up the wall, the force that I must on inflicted on him must have hurt badly for him to being making such a dramatic approach.

He looked straight at me and gave another menacing growl, "step away from her" he said. I looked straight at him, her? Who was her? Then when I thought about it for a split second I knew who it was, Uchiha Mikoto, the mother of both Itachi and Sasuke, and his wife.

I always thought that she deserved better and at that point I knew that she did. I walked towards him a stern look on my face.

"You killed Mikoto Uchiha" I said walking closer and closer to him, he looked at the blanketed body and then back to me.

"I didn't, I got someone else to, and I wouldn't be able to handle the screams of her" he said as he looked straight at me, his expression not changing despite the depressing subject.

I felt the anger come over me, did he not even care that his wife was dead. I walked forward, I was steaming with rage, I pushed him back to the wall again my hand wrapped tightly around his thought,

"do you even care about anyone of then yourself? You tried to kill your own son your own flesh and blood and you got someone else to kill your own wife? How insane are you?" I said the anger extremely visible in my voice.

I was just so shocked and angered at how much of a heartless man he was. I felt a hit of force and was pushed back from the smirking Uchiha, something was wrong a minute ago he was helpless and now he was pushing me away with a lot of force. Where did this sudden burst of energy come from?

I got myself up from the ground and walked towards him in a fast pace. More anger than I ever felt before, he just stood there smirking there was evil clearly visible in his eyes something was wrong.

I stood in front of him towering over the top of the middle aged man; he was not intimidated at all he just looked straight ahead. I clenched my teeth, and suddenly moved forwards grasping his neck in the palm of my hand.

He struggled under the pressure as I pinned him against the wall, "I asked you a question, how insane are you?" I said making my hold on his neck tighter, he just smirked as always and grasped just above my elbow in his own hand trying to take control over the force I had on his neck.

He coughed a mighty cough and called out "this insane" and sent a wave of chakra in my arm causing me to back away from his and my grip on his neck to completely disappear.

I looked down on my hand, it didn't feel normal there was a searing pain the middle but no wound, I flexed my fingers and watched them all move one after another. Then I was pushed with so much force onto my back, my arms pinned down with that of the Uchiha's. I scowled at him from my possession on the floor; his only answer was a yet another Uchiha smirk. Struggling I tried to get myself free I need to finish this, not for me but for all the Uchiha's lost, yes all of them.


Flashback

I walked up the streets of the Uchiha compound there was silence everywhere, sighing I walked to the nearest house and knocked lightly on the door. No answer, I waited a few more minutes before I came to the conclusion that no one was home.

I walked away from that house and walked a little further into the Uchiha estate looking for signs of life, even a little. Nothing no one was on the streets, no one in the shops where they sold the fine jewellery.

Yet again I repeated my actions, I found another home this time one of the welder, he would be home or at least someone who could tell me what was going on and where was everyone.

I knocked on the door and yet again there was no answer. I pushed back the paper doors and stuck my head inside. "Excuse me" I said as I looked into the clean hall.

No one was there, sighing I walked down to where of course the welder must be in the welding room of the house, again I stuck my head around the door, muttering my apologies for entering his home.

Only to find him laying helplessly on the metal bench, I walked over to him and tapped him lightly on the shoulder, "sir" I said and tapped him again I got no answer, walking around to look at his face I discovered why he wasn't moving, he was dead.

There was a small puddle on blood slowly growing in the dent in the table where his head lay, it was obvious that he had been killed this was no suicide attempt, I rolled him over a little to take a look at where the blood was coming from, there on that side of his head there seemed to be a small gouge where the blood was flowing out.

I was stunned I backed away from him and looked at my hands they were now covered with blood as well, tripping I fell back. Looking around me still in shock I needed to see what tripped me up and there it was a chisel no doubt it was the welders, with blood dripping off it onto the hay covered floor.

I got up and ran away from the scene, I had to tell someone, they had to help. I ran out of the welders' house into the one across the road, not knocking just running straight through,

"emergency " I yelled running towards the kitchen of the house, there had to be someone there who could help. I stopped dead still when I saw a collapsed women in front of the sink.

Running around the Uchiha estate I came across more and more bodies all dead until I herd a high pitched scream and I made my way straight towards that house.

Once I got there all I saw was Itachi laid helplessly on the floor with his father holding tight onto his neck. I needed to do this, I was one hundred percent certain that this guy killed all the others, this man was Uchiha Fugaku.

End flashback


After a while I stopped my struggling, I was short on energy I was having one of the worst days that I ever had since I was born, so you couldn't tell me that I was making this up.

He just smiled smugly down on me, I didn't know his plan but I knew something was going to happen the way his eyes glinted with the candle light told me that this wasn't the end.

Then I happened, the grip on my wrists loosened and fuagek fell forward, my eyes went wide what was happening. I pushed the man off me;

I didn't want him holding me down anymore, as I pushed him away I saw my kunai lodged in his back. I was confused what was going on; I didn't stab him with my kunai then who did.

I looked over to Itachi he was still laying there oblivious of what was going on.

I sat up from the floor and looked around, and then I herd it, a large crash not to far away. Getting up I made my way towards the sound and I was shocked to see it.

Mikoto, Mrs Uchiha laid on the floor a smile on her face, she coughed loudly and I was in so much shock I didn't know that she was here.

She had a black blanket around her; I lent down and pulled the blanket off her. There it was a large gash in her side, I looked back up to her face, it was slowly beginning to bruise you could see the vague tint of purple above her eyelid.

But all in all you could see how pale she was and the pain she was feeling but she still smiled up at me.

"Ill take you to the hospital right away Mrs Uchiha, don't worry yourself" I said and wrapped the black blanket around her again.

She took hold of my arm and shook her head in disagreement, coughing she spoke "leave me here with my son and my husband" she said smiling up at me, she trusted me as the last person she would most likely see alive.

I nodding in understanding, I lifted her over to his body and laid her down she hissed out a little as I did but smiled up at me as she laid on the ground.

I walked over to the man who she wanted to be with in the last minutes of life she had left, how much I wanted to kick him so much then but it was her request I pulled the kunai out of him back, the blood slipping onto my hands and onto the floor.

I turned him so he faced up being gentle even thought it was so tempting not to be. I looked over at Mikoto her eyelids where slowly dropping I moved him closer and place his hand in hers, she looked back up to me and smiled. I unravelled the little of the black robe and placed it over them both.

"Thank you" she coughed out again, I looked over at her and smiled, nodding softly her eyelids dropped completely and I knew then that they were both gone husband and wife. I stood up and looked down on the pair, she forgave him in the last few minutes of life and now they will rest together forever.

"That was a nice thing you did there" I looked around, and out of the shadows stood a man, dressed in completely black, his yellow eyes visible in the flickering candlelight.

"who are you?"I called into the darkness, there was a light snigger and then the man started to talk again. "I am the …. Uchiha masacurer" he said, talking as if it was something you herd everyday.

My eyes widened, "but… but I thought" I stuttered and looked over to the body of Uchiha fugake. "well yes he did hire me to kill his small family" he started and began walking slowly towards me.

"but then he disobeyed me so I" he was close now near my ear. "got rid of the rest" he whispered the evil in his voice clearly visable.

I turned and faced him, "so it was you?" I asked, somehow I felt a little scared of him now, uneasy of what he might do to me if he was capale of killing literally everyone in the clan in one night.

He smirked as he clearnly sensed my uneasiness, " but I did have one person, that I was leaving to kill right at the end." He sighed and looked straight towards me. "but someone else did that for me," he called.

I stood shocled, he thought it was me, I had to defend myself. "I didn't kill anyone" I said as calmilng as I could muster. He let out a short laught high pitched and obiously fake.

"I doubt anyones going to believe that when they find you. Look at you your covered in blood, well yes they might not deturmin who's but they know it obviously isn't your and the fact that you in the room with three dead bodies of the great Uchiha clan might give them an hint at who killed them all.

" it was all true, I would get the blame if I stayed here any longer, and I couldn't exactly walk through the streets of Konoha in a blood soaken tee-shirt, I might get some suspisions.

Then what was I going to do, stay here and wait for them to find me and perminatly get the blame for what happened to the Uchiha clan.

The man in front of me must have seen me hesitiate and he decided to step in with his suggestion, "the only other option is to leave konoha, leave your home" he said.

It sounded right enough I didn't have a choice really if they ever found out I was here surely I would have to take the whole blame for the murder seeing as I doubt very much that this guy is going to stick around for the poice. "but where?" I said in a small voice hoping he wouldn't here me actually consider his susgesstion.

"to the sand, you can stay there with me. of course only for a little while" I looked up at him, was he giving me the option of staying with him.

It was the really the only thing I could do that wouldn't get me killed. I nodded, "so whats your name?" I asked, he looked over me and then answered. "orochimaru" he said, i'd never herd of him before, but he was offering to keep me safe even if it was only for a little while.

"Kakashi" I said and stuck out my hand in front of him. He took my hand in his and then turned to face the door. "lets get going before anyone finds us" I looked up at him, suddenly his demina changed he was serious, we needed to go. He already started to move, I stood still for a second before following him.

From then on I switched my time between Konoha and the sand, keeping an eye on the last ever Uchiha or so I thought until I herd that his brother was alive.

Somehow I felt a little proud of the fact that I actually did something good that night, not just back out on the dying boy.

This is one of the reasons Uchiha Sasuke is now in my team, so I can keep an extra special eye on him. Keep him out of danger and eventually bring him away from the evil. That I brought him too, but in that case I can take a better look at how he's getting on here, away from konohan, eventually I know he will go back.
