SUMMARY;
Any last words old man" The teen asked cruely, his two mismatched eyes of power gleaming in the moonlight, the left eye a constant reminder that all this started from his incompetence.
"If I could turn back time, I wouldn't have done it" Sarutobi Hiruzen, formerly the third Hokage said weakly and the teen let out a barking laughter.
"How fickle humanity is, when you realize how much of an asset I could have been, you tried to make me loyal to the village and now you see what your stupidity caused, you regret your decision." he clenched his teeth and his immeasurable Chakra welled up in him "Interesting last words though" He smiled as a glowing golden chain impaled the old man's stomach and retracted it absorbing the soul it brought back.
He gazed at the at the destroyed village and walked away. After a long while, Sasuke Uchiha had his revenge
OR
Sasuke as a kid gets kidnapped and experimented by Danzo, believing him to be dead, he disposes him but Sasuke clinges on to life, he gets discovered by the Hokage who is aware of who had done this to him and takes him back to the back to the Uchiha clan.
The Uchihas demand on who did this to their kin to be brought out and when the Hokage stays silent, they plan a coup only to be slaughtered by Itachi leaving Sasuke in solitiary, he secretly swears revenge on whoever experimented on him but stays in the village, seeing it as a way to achieve his goals.
Konohagakure no Sato/ Nighttime
The silvery full moon hung over the peacefully slumbering village. A slight warm breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient surrounding forest and only a handful of shinobi were awake — those who were on night patrol duty.
However a group of people were wide awake. Hidden under the Hokage monument they carried out their illegal activities led by one the the village's high standing elders. They believed that the were making the tough decisions that Hokage couldn't make to protect the village.
Suddenly, the silence in the hideout was interupted as cry for help revenbrated throughout the hideout, a cry that was completely ignored, a cry let out by someone that has already given up hope, a cry simply let out for the sake of being let out.
A boy of seven years of age thrashed around on the iron table he was strapped in, under the watchful eye of an old man who disregarded any plea of help from the boy, the boy had pitch black hair, coal black eyes and he had pale skin which was unnaturally pale from malnourishment, this was Sasuke Uchiha, the second son of Fugaku Uchiha who was abducted as he trained in an isolated forest. All in all, he was a beautiful child, having descended from the most prestigeous clan in the village -- The Uchiha clan -- now though, his aristocratic features where riddled in tiredness and fear at what the old man wants to put him through again.
Danzo watched the boy with a disinterested eye only perking up when one of his ROOT members, wearing a bear mask walked in holding the future of the village – a little vial filled with a black liquid – the liquid was enclosed with a reinforced glass that even had seals protecting it, an eerie aura that made even him shiver still leaked out of it.
"Lord Danzo, the experiment is complete" Bear reported expressionlessly presenting the liquid to Danzo who snatched it and smiled "Although the scientist warned that it's unstable and it's advised to wait for the combined 'ingredients' to settle" He further reported and Danzo just scoffed.
'Wait?, there's no time to wait. The Uchiha's has already noticed the disappearance of their clan leader's son and are searching for him, if I don't do it now, then when will it be done' He thought and gave the vial to his medic who inserted the liquid into a syringe then put the thrashing child to sleep with a strange powder, then as the boy slept, injected the liquid into the boy who groaned in discomfort but still slept.
"It is done Danzo-sama, the results should be seen soon" The medic bowed and Danzo smirked.
'Soon I shall have the perfect soldier and Konohagakure will the strongest village' He thought happily but was brought out of his musing when Sasuke started jerking violently against the straps holding him in place. Pleasure gave away to alarm and Danzo frowned "What's going on" He growled to his medic who was checking something in the computer.
"It seems that the cells of his body where trying to reject it and in the process, it reacted growing stronger and trying to force his cells into submission" The medic explained, his frown deepened as the Straps holding the anguished boy in place snapped and snapped until there were none then a dark purple, almost black Chakra surrounded him.
He stood up from the table and crouched on all fours like a jinchuuriki much to the alarm of hidden ROOT members who stood in font of Danzo to protect him, the man in question was ready to unrap his left eye and use Kotoametsukami to subjugate the boy but stopped when the boy lost the Chakra surrounding him and fell on the floor motionless.
The medic instantly rushed over to the boy and checked his pulse, feeling the weakening pulse, green Chakra sparked in his hands as he tried to revive the dying child.
"What's happening" Danzo asked irritation gracing his aged features
"He's dying Danzo-sama"
"He's dying?" He repeated, seeming repulsed at the information
"Yes Danzo-sama, it seems that the two cells continue to disagree and the internal struggle is going to weaken him until he dies" The medic said, sweat dripping down his face as he continued the steady stream of Chakra. Danzo looked down at them with a frown then he watched as the steady green Chakra spluttered out of the medic's hands, who checked the pulse of the boy again and shook his head "He's dead Danzo-sama" He reported and Danzo growled
"How useless, I spent a high amount of ryo to secure that the formula will be complete but he was just a piece of trash"
"What should we do now, Danzo-sama" A ROOT member with a cat mask asked
"Make it seem that he stumbled into the forest of death and met his end there, leave some traces of him there" he snarled walking away hearing the distinct 'yes Danzo-sama'
The ROOT members were at work doing exactly what Danzo commanded to do, they ripped Sasuke's shirt into pieces and left pieces of it scattered around the forest then left the boy's body for the dangerous animals that lived in the forest of death. Unknown to them, Sasuke clinged on to life letting out wheezing gasps.
His sound attracted the presence of a giant black bear who approached him menacily and slowly, believing him to be an easy target, Sasuke let out a weak cry for help, knowing fully well that nobody would help. As the giant monster of a bear stood in front of him, opening it's wide mouth to devour him, Sasuke's mind went blank and he released a wave of Chakra which made the bear to recoil and run in fear although it didn't go far before it's head was destroyed by a chakra enhanced punch by Sasuke.
He glanced down at the headless beast and passed out once again and thankfully, the Chakra he released was sensed by the Hokage who came in person and cursed for a long time, seeing the change in the child.
By 2 O' clock in the morning, when except for Shinobi on night duty, everyone would be asleep, two people were strolling through the streets of Konohagakura. One was an old man, once young and energetic, the passage of time have taken the toil on the man, now he was old and weak and seemed even weaker as glanced at the boy besides him. This was the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The other person was a boy of around seven years of age, he had pristine white spiky hair and white skin. There seemed to be golden etchings in a foreign language down his arms – very visible as the boy was naked from waist upwards and almost writhing, jagged lines of black and red crossed every visible part of his body save his hair and eyes. It seemed to give him a look that presented having cracked and mismatched eyes.
His right eye was a normal coal black but his left eye will immediately struck out as bizarre, it was a single pupil but mismatched, it was as if the eye was a combination of other eyes, different colours adorned the eye at different areas making the eye seem like a pie chart, if a shinobi who had the grace of seeing all of the bijuu, had seen the eye, he will come to the conclusion that the pupil was an almagamation of theirs. The iris further cemented this fact as the colour of the bijuu 'skin' was at different parts of the iris, each part cooresponding to their rspective eye in the pie-chart like pupil of the eye.
The two people walked in silence, the older dreading the choices he was about to make and the choices already made while the younger didn't see the point of saying anything, or have what to say. They soon arrived at their destination — a large district seperate from the entire village that had red-white uchiwas adorning the walls — and were greeted by the long faces of the adult members of the Uchiha clan.
Mikoto upon sighting her son, ran up to him and hugged him crying as she feared he had been kidnapped, she cried even harder when she saw his skin and the lines that graced them. She traced the lines her fingers and was confused when she was treated with a smooth skin and when he opened his eyes, — for he kept them closed since he sighted his clan— even Fugaku and the rest of the adults who was standing quietly but relieved gasped as his left eye was revealed. Mikoto hugged him tighter as she saw the tears falling from his eyes.
Sasuke cried his heart out, spilling the tears that even he thought had finished, crying out now he knew that there was actually somebody to listen to him. The hearts of the adults broke, seeing the normally cheerful child in such a state.
Fugaku glared hotly at the Hokage who adverted his eyes from the clan leader.
"Mikoto take Sasuke in, I'll join you shortly" Fugaku said, his eyes still on the Hokage. She wordlessly agreed, taking Sasuke by the hand and leading him in, although Fugaku suprised her as he knelt down and hugged Sasuke. Such intimacy wasn't common for the man to do "I'm sorry Sasuke, I failed you as a father" he felt the boy clench him tighter and began to cry again. He detached himself from the child when he had calmed down and wiped his tears with his thumb then stood up tousling his hair "Go, I'll be back" Sasuke nodded and followed his mother back home and a tense silence settled over the adults presence.
"Who did this" Fugaku hissed, his voice ten times colder than before.
"I don't know" the Hokage replied.
"Bullshit" Fugaku glared.
"I really don't know Fugaku, after I sent that ANBU to you, Inochi searched his memory but didn't find anything. He said it was a memory seal so powerful that it overwrote his memory" Hiruzen sighed.
"Even with that, we all know who could infiltrate the Uchiha clan and kidnap Sasuke without notice" He snarled.
"I don't who you're talking about, Fugaku" the Hokage said, his face drawn.
"I'm talking about Danzo!, that mummy is definitely behind this" Fugaku hissed, his voice nearly a shout
"I hope you know what you're implying, Fugaku. Accusation of a council member without evidence an be interpreted as false accusation and lead to imprisonmentof the offender" The Hokage warned sternly.
Fugaku just glared at him then turned around, the others took it as a sign and they all departed to their homes, the Hokage watched them go with a frown then disappeared in a swiel of leaves, predictably to talk to Danzo. The Uchiha's went back home with the whispers of a coup on their tongue only to be slaughtered by their clan's heir three month later...
