Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Chi Hitoshirenu Uso ❯ Chapter 1

Okay peeps. Sit down and listen…or read. I have my own views on what happened to the Uchiha clan and I'm telling ya's! U don't like it then send me flames. U like, send me reviews. Read and review. Flames are always welcome and if u don't like my theory then bugger off. Anywho. On with this bloody fic!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. But the theory is mine. MINE! And im sure im not the first to have come up with this…if I am….then that's weird.

WARNING: lots of flashbacks. Flashbacks are in italics.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can still remember. I remember every last detail of that event. The event that ruined my life. I remember their soulless gazes, his hate filled words. I remember it, but I don't understand how it happened. How everything that I knew, suddenly changed. I remember the blood. It covered my hands and none of it was mine. I remember the panic; I remember the smell of fear. I remember seeing my brother as I returned home, seeing him in that room. He shouldn't have been there. Why was he there? I knew that he had to go home as well. But he shouldn't have….none of that should have happened.

I haven't told anyone what really happened. I knew they wouldn't believe me. They wouldn't believe that he could ever say those things. Why would they? Everyone loved him! He could do no wrong. And yet, he did. And no one actually knows what happened that night. I kept that to myself. I remember his face. Before it held hatred towards me.

FLASHBACK

"Brother! Can you help me train? You're shuriken skills are the best!"

"Forgive me Sasuke. Another time. But not today." The usual response. It seemed to be automatic.

END FLASHBACK

I tried not to smile at the memory. He was always so busy. Though I'd never say it out loud. He is the better shinobi. He's always been more enthusiastic then me. Always training or looking up new jutsus to use and learn. It was always the same. I never thought that the brother that I knew and loved could harbor such a strong hatred towards me. It's painful to think about it. It's painful to know that I will eventually be killed by the one I once protected in my own way.

I'm on a mission now. Me and one team mate. I don't know where the other is, probably out on some girls' night out. Heh, sometimes I wonder if my hidden sense of humor is all that's keeping me sane. Because it definitely isn't my team mate. We've been assigned this mission and I somehow know. I can feel it. My brother will be there. My brother will be where our target is. I don't know if I can face him yet. Not after everything that's happened. He hates me I know that. But I never hated him.

FLASHBACK

"Father?" He looked up. "Is there different types of sharingan?"

"Yes, of course there is a higher level of Sharingan. There is the Mangekyou Sharingan."

END FLASHBACK

As soon as I heard about it. I knew. I knew that he would get that sharingan. If I was lucky I figured I'd get it to. But….when I found out how you got it….I knew I didn't want it anymore. At least, a part of me didn't want it. I should have known it didn't matter. No matter what I do, fate and destiny decide peoples lives.

FLASHBACK

"Why…did you….?"

"It was to test my capacity." Taking one look at his face, I knew it wasn't the truth. And I knew he knew it to.

"To test your capacity? That's…all? That's…the only…reason? You killed everyone….for that?" Pause for air. It was hard to breathe. My world. My family was all dead. All except one, and that made it so hard to breathe.

"It was essential." No emotion. No regret and I could feel the lie gnawing at my insides. Either that or the smell or my families' blood was getting to me. But it was probably both. I felt the sobs catch in my throat and forced the tears back. This was all too much. Even hearing it was too much, but experiencing it? I had to be strong…even if all the safety I had ever known was gone.

"What…that's…COMPLETE CRAP!"

END FLASHBACK

It was. I knew and he knew it. But it was an answer. As long as someone took the blame and had a reason, that was better then nothing. It's so painful to think about the amount of lies that were said in order to keep Konoha happy. In order to protect everyone's vision of the perfect clan. God, I wanted to kill myself right then and there.

FLASHBACK

We were out in the street.

"You can't be my brother…because…"

"The brother you wanted to spend time with has done this."

END FLASHBACK

God I wanted to die then. It seems that fate and destiny did not want me to. Because no attack ever came. I have nothing left. My companion has noticed my silence. He wants to know if I'm alright. Of course I'm not. How could I be? But I can't tell him that. He doesn't understand and he never would. No one would because it's completely unbelievable. I'm broken. I have nothing to look forward to. Nothing to calm my fears and no one to trust. How could I even begin to trust? My family betrayed me. My own flesh and blood! And now I will see him again. After so many years, we're going to meet. I don't think I will be able to stand it. Not after everything that was said the last time I saw him.

FLASHBACK

"You can awaken the same Mangekyou Sharingan as me. However, there is a requirement."

"…."

"You must, Kill your closest friend."

END FLASHBACK

God, that hurt so much. Just hearing that. Hearing that and knowing that it couldn't possibly be true, but that it had to be. After what happened to Shisui Uchiha. There was no way that it could be a lie. No matter how much I tried to convince myself, it was true. And I immediately hated myself for it. I hated my blood. I hated my name. Uchiha. It seemed like dirt to me then. I know that I'll never live up to the Uchiha name now. And while most people would think that I'd be upset or disgusted with myself. I'm not. I've never been happier knowing that I won't be able to live up to the name. Look at what's happened to my brother for trying to live up to the name. I'm disgusted that I used to want to be a model Uchiha. I'm upset that my family turned on me. I'm disgusted that I'm that bastard's relation. I swear, I will not let my brother be the perfect Uchiha. I will prevent it if it costs me my life.

God, there he is now. He looks just like mum. But he's different. His eyes are soulless. Where's the brother I used to know? The brother I used to love? The Uchiha name turned him. It changed him. He now has the perfect Uchiha attitude. Care for yourself and let no one get in your way. Not even your friends. I'm fighting him now. He's stronger then when I knew him. But he'd be a lot stronger if he hadn't listened to me. Here we are. Just glaring at each other in a silent battle. Trying to stop emotions from coming through.

"Itachi!" I turn my head to Kasami. "Let's go." I nod. Before I leave though, I use the Mangekyou Sharingen on my brother. Maybe If he sees what happened again. Maybe then he'll see the truth. Should he even see the truth? It might destroy him.

It would. I know it would. How can it not? To see those weapons next to everyone. To actually see through my lies. To know that what I did was in self defense, that I was attacked by the entire clan. Beginning with my best friend on the orders of our father. To know that the entire clan betrayed their strongest because of that. Because I was the strongest, because I began to see through the lies that they had so carefully wove through the decades. That would destroy my brother. I will not let that happen. But I cannot help it. He has to see! Even if it destroys him! He must not try to live up to the illusion that our father made. Because he is the last hope for our clan. And he must know what happened.

Fin

Okay…was that really really really bad? Please review! Flames are welcome. And in case u didn't get it. Its in Itachi's pov, he's basically saying how the uchiha clan attacked him and he killed them in self defense.
