Sasuke's innocent urge to go to the bathroom led him outside of the house that night. As he stepped out, he was met with a horrifying sight that would forever be etched in his memory. The lifeless bodies of his relatives were strewn across the road, surrounded by pools of crimson blood. Fear and confusion surged through him as he frantically rushed back toward his home.
He burst into his parents' room, desperate to find answers, but what he found was a grim and unimaginable scene. There stood his older brother, Itachi, who had just opened the door. Sasuke's parents lay lifeless on the floor, their blood staining the room.
"Nii..." Sasuke began to call out to his brother, relief washing over him momentarily as he spotted Itachi. However, his relief quickly turned to terror as he saw the lifeless bodies of their parents.
"Sasuke, I will kill you like I did to everyone else," Itachi said with a heavy heart, raising his sword menacingly toward his little brother. It was a sight that Sasuke could hardly comprehend, and his world shattered.
Sasuke fell to the ground, trembling with fear and disbelief. He had never experienced such overwhelming dread before.
"If you want revenge, then become strong and kill me... Or I will kill you, Sasuke," Itachi declared solemnly, his Sharingan eyes reflecting the pain he felt inside.
In his own way, he tried to give Sasuke a purpose to live amidst the devastation. He hoped that one day retribution would come at the hands of his younger brother, that Sasuke would grow strong enough to defeat him. Using his Sharingan, Itachi ensured that Sasuke would carry this nightmare with him, driving him to seek power and vengeance until the day he could confront his brother.
