Those Eyes

Chapter 2- "The Truth"

Itachi was perplexed and immediately asked about what madara meant by the REAL DEAL,

He finally came to know the truth of his life, when madara spoke in his soft voice which had a teasing glint in it.

"Well Itachi, it is such that I, Uchiha madara was deserted by my clan when I chose to oppose your so-called first hokage and take the thrown of hokage for myself, as you know I fought him and was defeated, from that day I had wanted revenge upon the Uchiha as well as the senju clan "

He already knew most of this information, but the way madara spoke urged him not to interrupt him. As he wanted to know as quickly as possible what fate had written for him.

"

"I attacked the village before, using the nine tailed fox but that cursed fourth hokage of yours sealed it and nearly me inside his own son. I was able to escape, somehow saving my life but the nine tailed fox was sealed inside minato's own son. I after a very long time of recovery from my fight with minato had finally obtained half of my power back, I now was powerful enough to challenge and easily beat genius ninja like you but, I did not want to challenge the hokage unless my powers had fully returned… "

The burning feeling itachi had in him once again was trying viciously to come out but what good a genius would be if he couldn't act wisely? He wanted power he wasn't afraid of anyone but he knew he could not defeat uchiha madara at his current level. He took a grip of himself and stared back at the eternal sharingan, which had until now hadn't been able to find a single spot of impatience or discomfort in the genius prodigy of the clan. Showing not a sign on the discomfort, Itachi continued to stare back and try to figure out with each coming word, the truth of his life. He wanted the power his eyes were shouting these words. It was a cold war going on against geniuses of one of the most powerful clans in the history

"When I was recovering, Danzou came to me he had an ambition, he wanted to be the hokage of your cursed village. At first I refused to help in anyway and threatened to kill him if he said anything else, but he was able to convince me. He said I will not only get revenge but as a gift I will also get the strongest shinobi in course I wanted someone who could serve the akatsuki for a long time .Danzou came up with many shinobi from the root that were insanely power full but I wanted someone different . I finally was able to chalk down 2 shinobi, members of the konoha anbu black ops.

One of them was named Hatake Kakashi, the son of the white fang and the student of minato namikaze the 2nd person you was able to defeat me! One was your best friend uchiha shisue. But there was a problem with these two that would they work with me faithfully or will they work as Danzou's spies I wanted to be sure, so I made the safest choice .I chose the Captain of the Anbu black ops Uchiha Itachi.!"

Kakashi felt the same burning sensation inside of him. Not caring about the time he picked up his last remaining fellows in life, icha icha series, and headed for the memorial stone. On the way, he sensed faint chakras disappearing but at this moment he had been obsessed by despair as he hadn't been able to protect Rin so he went on. He felt a huge and mysterious chakra from a brief second; he halted and looked to his left where it came from, the Uchiha Street.

"It's coming from the Uchiha Street. Those people have always been under strict is going on. Well I don't think I need to try and trace that person "

*itachi's face gleamed momentarily in kakashi's mind*

"They can handle themselves"

Quickly went to memorial stone only to accompany his best friend. He had failed his promise but he wanted to be with his friends. Once there Kakashi sat down, the smooth and chill night wind didn't seem to bother him at all. In his mind the memories of that day played like an old familiar movie,

"The death of Obito was his fault" he mumbled.

He let out a deep sigh and his head fell down as in shame. He had broken the promise he had failed his friend the person who gave his life to protect him.

"I just have to get even stronger, I will surpass everyone. So I can save others!"

Just at that very moment Kakashi felt a chakra which he could immediately tell belonged to whom. It was clear, very clear that was uchiha itachi. Kakashi knew something was wrong many chakras were disappearing .He didn't want to at first but now he had to check on what was going on. He immediately got up, while pulling his headband up from his eye. He knew something was going on and he wasn't going to take any chances, he wouldn't let anyone else die if he could do anything to stop it.

Now that Itachi finally knew what fate had written for him .He spoke not betraying his voice, even in the least.

"Very well, I see my fate has already been sealed with you and your investigation. Though I am still curious, why would you think I would not betray you?"

Even though none of them said anything, even though none of .them gave even the smallest of sign of discomfort, they both still knew that the race had already started .The best of the clan; both wanted only one thing More Power

Madara Spoke in reply to itachi's question while a clone of his came from behind itachi.

"Do you really think we should be discussing this now, you still have your work to do? And you will find out when the time comes or should I say you know it already "

"I see You really are the uchiha madara I've heard about you not wasting any time at all , pardon me I shall finish off my job as well "

With those words itachi vanished, heading towards his home, In order to complete his mission. Entering the door the young and slender boy did not hesitate a bit taking out, putting his hand on his kunai as he walked through his house towards his parent's room. The house was well lit and the wall was covered with dull but colorful wallpaper. Walking straight all the way up to the dining room he turned left passing the all familiar dining table that he had eaten on for his entire life. Though only merely 13 years old, itachi had already accepted his fate and was doing what was best for his village. He reached the wooden door, having pictures of Sasuke and itachi posted all over it, he hesitated a little but then reached out to open the door. He turned the door knob and pushed the door slightly, which opened slowly with a squeaky sound

"Oh itachi dear, is there anything wrong" spoke his mother in ever so softly and lovingly

"Yes mother I just don't feel good "said itachi, walking towards his mother and father, both of whom were sitting together in the dimly lit room, looking at each other. It was clear they loved one another.

Once behind them itachi without any type of hesitation or fear he took out his kunai and slit the throats of both of them. Staying in the position with both his hand hanging loosely from his body his head bent down as in remorse, for a minute he picked his face up which now had the same devilish look on it , a mocking smile, his eyes were pure red and were yelling " More Power" . Before itachi could even turn and look for the last remaining uchiha, he himself entered the room .Sasuke was shocked and horrified he tried to speak but could not gather the strength to he finally mumbled

"Why….why ….. Did you kill them?"

Itachi was suddenly thrown in a shock he knew this time would eventually come , he knew he would not be able to kill Sasuke, he was going with madara any way so did it even matter now , the real uchiha threat had been removed . He turned to Sasuke and spoke in a mocking voice

"Why did I kill them you ask because I wanted to, because I can, because I have the power to …..."

"You are just too weak ….. Too weak ….. And full of these useless emotions …. You're too weak if you were power full you could have protected them "

"You are so weak I would even not kill you "

With those words itachi left leaving his crying brother behind as he reached outside, Sasuke who was running after him from the moment he had left, jumped at him in an attempt to take revenge. Itachi had been successful he had created the feeling of hatred within Sasuke, he knew only he could kill him and he wanted that to happen and he knew revenge was the best option. He knew revenge would make Sasuke to get stronger than him to kill him; he merely turned grabbing Sasuke from his shirt and putting him against the wall and activated the tsukyomni, showing the horrible scenes of his parent's death again and again for 72 hours. But it was merely a second in the real world. He let his shirt go and Sasuke fell to the ground with a thud. Itachi then turned and walked away, heading north to the place where madara was to meet him just outside the village. Heading towards his new life, heading towards Uchiha Madara began the journey of Uchiha Itachi….driven by his maddening urge for more power and his never ending wish of safety of his village and his brother …. He headed to his new life
