Chapter 2: Itachi Uchiha


I felt my skin crawl in excitement as I teleported via Hiraishin into the clearing Itachi was training in. I appeared smack next to a target on a tree. A split second later, a kunai raced past my head, a centimeter away from my cheek. I smirked.

Itachi landed on his feet elegantly. He glanced at me, shocked. "Naruto-san, what are you doing there? You could have gotten hit!"

My smirk widened. "But I wasn't. Curtesy of you being Mr. Perfect."

His onyx eyes narrowed. "Is there something you want?"

"Itachi-kun," I said. "Tell me..." I pulled the kunai out of the target, "...what do you wish for?"

He stared at me. "Wish?"

I balanced the tip of the weapon on my finger. "It's perfectly balanced, isn't it?"

Itachi didn't reply.

"You aren't balanced like this kunai," I continued. "You aren't free. Do you wish for freedom? To escape the clutches of the abomination they call a clan?"

The Uchiha paused, interest glinting in his eyes.

"Since your clan is planning a coup d'état, why not take advantage of that?" I asked. "They will be terminated either way. You know that even if they walk down the path with the least amount of bloodshed they would still be destroyed."

Itachi's eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"I know plenty," I said. "Now, do you want freedom? Or do you want to be in that cage forever? I will give you freedom. All you have to do is become my subordinate."

He looked suspicious. "Naruto-san, might I ask why you are doing this?"

I smiled. "I'm going to be honest with you, but this village is absolute trash. They'll insult the weak and admire the strong. But I'm letting it live on because life just loves to bite you in the ass."

"I will accept your offer on one condition," he said.

I couldn't hide the grin. I tipped my head. "And that would be...?"

"You will not destroy the Leaf as long as I live," Itachi responded.

My grin widened, making the Uchiha shuffle uncomfortably. I spun the kunai between my fingers. "You have a deal, Itachi-kun." I threw the kunai at his foot, missing his toe by a centimeter. "Meet me at the Uchiha compound in five minutes. Wear all your gear."

"Why?" he questioned.

I slightly scowled. "Are you already questioning your superior?"

Itachi's eyes narrowed. "...No."


I used the five minutes to kill all the ANBU guarding the compound. When I finished, I slipped on a cloak I stole from an ANBU captain to hide the blood that soaked my clothing. I leaned against the wall next to the gate, crossing my arms in patience.

Another minute later, Itachi appeared next to me in a shunshin. I nodded my greeting.

"Now what?" Itachi asked.

"We kill the Uchiha," I said. "Everyone but Shisui and Sasuke, of course."

He narrowed his eyes. "Why?"

I glanced at him. "Uh, hello! Coup d'état! Very bad! You know?"

He sighed. "Fine."

"I will take care of Mikoto and Fugaku," I stated. "I don't want to lay that burden on you."

Itachi frowned, but nodded anyways. "Where will we meet up?"

"Southern gate," I replied. "Another friend of mine should be waiting there. Make sure you pack for a six day trip. We're heading to Amegakure after this."

"Yes, sir," the Uchiha mumbled. He disappeared in a shunshin towards the branch house, leaving behind a wave of fear.

I chuckled lightly. "Oh, Itachi-kun...so amusing."

I disappeared in a shunshin, reappearing on the roof of the main branch's compound. I sunk into the shackles, and poked my head down from the ceiling. I ended up in the kitchen. It was empty, though. I softly landed next to the table, lowering my signature and quietly making my way through the house. I activated my Rinnegan, and scanned the halls.

No one was to my left. However, to my right, there were three chakra systems. One was asleep, one was playing on the floor and the other was sitting at a desk, their hand madly scribbling on the desk.

I narrowed my eyes, and slowly made my way on over to the little one that I presumed to be Sasuke-teme. I peeked into the room, and stared in awe. Millions of toys were scattered everywhere.

Ridiculous. I thought scornfully. I barged in, and knocked the young Uchiha out with a gentle kick to the neck.

Sasuke collapsed, a red bruise appearing on his throat. I tip toed out, and made my way to the room next to teme's. I cautiously slid open the door, and scanned the room.

Mikoto was asleep, while Fugaku was at his desk filling out paperwork. I pulled out two kunai. Swiftly, I threw one at Fugaku, hitting the back of his head. He grunted in pain, and his head hit the desk. I glanced at Mikoto. She had only stirred.

I crept inside of the room, walking up to the female Uchiha. I angled the kunai to her throat, and slit the flesh of her wind pipe. Her eyes snapped open. She choked for air before going completely limp.

The assassination of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha was successful.

I grinned. "Perfect..."


So, the Uchiha Massacre happens when Itachi-chan is 9 and Sasuke-chan is 4.

I might change the genre. I don't know if I should change it or not.

Anyways, Naru-chan will have that 'sinister' aura surrounding him this story. He is still deciding whether or not its best to destroy Konoha/five nations or not. The summary should make that clear.

Peace! :3
