Itachi's mother wept openly, hearing her son's painful decision. "Please take care of your little brother," she implored through her tears.
"Hai, Okaa-san," Itachi replied, his own tears wetting the floor.
His father issued a haunting order, one that would forever haunt Itachi. "Kill us then, Itachi."
With tears falling like a waterfall from his eyes, Itachi raised his sword against his own parents. The night bore witness to a tragic massacre in the Uchiha district, as Itachi, with the assistance of the Akatsuki's leader, executed the grim task. It marked his admission into the notorious mercenary group and left the Uchiha district littered with the lifeless bodies of its own clan members, an act that would forever haunt Sasuke and shape the destiny of both brothers.
