Chapter 1
Rain poured down from the heavens, soaking everything it touched. Thunder boomed loudly, followed by a flash of lightning which filled the entire sky. The sounds of blades clashing and battle cries echoed throughout the entire village of Konoha. These sounds travelled as far as the outskirts of the village where a well-known clan resided; the Uchiha. There, a young boy of three, cuddled up in his sheets, desperately trying to drown out the noises of death and pain that consumed the night. The little child stifled a whimper of fright as thunder boomed loudly outside his window, followed by a blood-curdling scream. He pulled the covers up around his ears and tried to sleep.
Unknown to the boy and his family, a bunch of skirmish ninjas were quietly infiltrating the clan. A silhouette slinked in from the shadows into the room of the little boy. It glanced around, taking in the room and carefully assessing it. The soldier crept stealthily up to the bed, not a sound was made. A kunai in hand, guard raised and footsteps as soft as a feather, as it moved towards the sleeping child.
The blade went up, ready to strike and kill in one blow. As it fell, the soldier realized something was not right. The blade embedded itself in the soft plush of a pillow instead of what should have been a body. The ninja, however had been prepared for that and without hesitation or thought, flung yet another kunai with the other hand at the little child who had escaped to the other side of the room. There was a loud crack and a thud that followed soon after. Then there was silence.
The mother and father of the child had heard the crack and rushed to their child, anxious of the worst. The mother flung open the sliding door, crying out her child's name, the father right behind her, fear written on both of their faces. The mother looked around the room and gasped, covering her mouth in horror at what happened. Then she rushed forward gathering her son's limp body close to her, crying softly. She stroked his hair, whispering something while frantically trying to wipe the blood of him.
The father still stared at the sight in front of him, slightly awe-struck at it all. In his head, he carefully analyzed what had happened in the room, hardly believing what had happened.
There had been two people in the room. That was obvious. One was a soldier, the other was his child. His child had moved from his bed to the other side of the room. From the signs left from the attack, it looked like the attacker had first stabbed at the bed and then thrown the kunai at the child when the target had not been killed. Then after that, it became a little bit more confusing. The blade had missed the target and embedded itself in the wall. There had been a little scuffle as a deep knife mark was indented in the floorboards. Then one of them had reached to pull the blade out of the wall and had flung it straight at the other. This time, the kunai found its mark with deadly results.
The father turned towards his wife who held his child's body. Tears sprang to his eyes but he did not let them fall. Then he started to laugh. Soon, his wife joined in, though not as loud, with a few sobs added in. They were then accompanied with the soft breathing of a child who had finally fallen asleep.
