Midnight leave
Itachi stood emotionlessly behind his parents body. He studied his brother's face looked at him wide eyes. His body could'nt tell wether it was from fear or anger. Finally gathering his courage,Sasuke stuttered.
"N-nii-chan,hhow could you d-do this?"
Itachi gave silence as his answer. Mentally Itachi bit his lip,he couldn't bear to see his brother's face. It was a combination of fear,disappointment and anger.
"Yes,I kill our family but it was orders by the elders. I had no choice but to obey the elders' commands. The Uchiha clan was planning a coup d'etat."
"So,Konoha is to blame?
"Yes" Itachi stated coldly. Suddenly Sasuke's onyx eyes turned crimson. Itachi was shocked to see sharingan. Guilt mades its way into Itachi's heart. He knew very well that Sasuke would follow him. It was a huge mistake telling Sasuke the truth. Keeping a cool façade he stated coldly.
"After this,I will be joining the Akatsuki."
"I'm coming with you"
"If you do,you will be targeted by people,you will be despised and hated"
"I don't care. I'll do whatever it takes to protect the only family member I have," Sasuke said determinedly. Itachi's eyes soften slightly. Even after all of this, Sasuke still loves him.
"Very well then,let us take our leave."
HOKAGE TOWER,0300 hours
"Well,it would seem that Itachi took Sasuke with him." Danzou said to Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elders. The sandaime had to bit his lip. It was a terrible tragedy to the Uchiha clan. Alas,he could 'nt do anything about it. Danzou spoked yet again
"We need to find a distraction for this. Not to mention we need to keep an eye on the Kyuubi jinchuuriki."
