The Uchiha Massacre final part~

Itachi after eating breakfast went straight to the hokagetorecountthe events of last night

(Itachi)"... And itealized i was put in a genjutsu.. then passed out of exaustion.. i woke up in my home".

(Sarutobi)"So after almost 4 years we finally have at least a clue about the serial killer.. a joker's mask.. so you are saying that this joker currently possesses both the eyes of shisui?"

(Itachi)"hai hogake-sama"

(Sarutobi) Sigh "ANBU go to the nakano river and try to recover the body of crow" just then 4 masked ninja appeared, bowed to the man, and left with a shunshin.

(Sarutobi)"Itachi without shisui there can no longer be a peaceful resolution you realize this, no doubt Danzo will order you to annihilate the clan, but you musn't listen to him, you are to kill all the uchiha involved in the coup, the mission will start in three days, then after that you will infiltrate a dangerous organisation as a member, jiraya has only learned that it is composed of s-rank criminals, you are to find what their objective is, a lotof s-rank shinobi working together can only spell trouble"

(Itachi)"Hai hokage-sama, thank you, at the very least i will be able to save those that aren't involved in the coup"

(Sarutobi)"3 toddlers, 23 children including your brother and mother, are the only ones not in it, even the genin, even the elders, even the retired shinobi are in it" Sigh 'This is such a waste of life' "Itachi will you need help to clomplete the mission? Even if it's you you can kill all of the uchiha police force by yourself"

(Itachi)"Don't worry i found help a few days earlier...'

In a shrine in fire country a man with long spiked hair wearing an orange mask was resting, he had a long sleeved shirt with a long turtle neck, gloves, and baggy pants, he also had a katana resting on his sheath, he had a lone sharingan resting in his eye socket.

That was the scene Itachi approached.

(Obito)"Hello itachi, it has been some years i've seen you, well not since i killed your genin team, you were eight at the time, i believe" he said in a sight moking tone. Itaci didn't even show an outward expression "I called you here to make you a proposal, the situation in your clan is deteriorating, no doubt you will be forced to slay your clan for the 'good of the village', when you do i want to help, after all i still want revenge for what my clan did to me in the past, you will not be able to do this alone, the entirety of uchiha police force are no joke you can't take them on as you are right now, even if you consider yourself s-rank"

(Itachi)"Who are you?"

(Obito)"I am Uchiha Madara" Itachi widened his eyes as the masked man introduced himself.

(Itachi)"I'll think about it" 'Shisui still has his plans, there is still no need for bloodshed'.

(Obito)"Remember this i will be waiting here in three days, and after you are branded traitor i will have a place for you in my little organization".

Itachi then left the shrine in a shunshin.

A venus flytrap came out of the ground, it opened and a strange man with one side white and the other black he then spoke.

(Zetsu)"Are you sure this is going to be okay obito? He can report this to the village leader" "this is the worst someone has been targeting all of my clones as soon as they arrive within the walll of that damned village" 'i started losing contact with them four years ago and i still have no idea what happened, even though sensing my zetsu clones should be impossible'

(Obito)"Don't worry even if your clones are being targeted we still have sasori's spies, and let him report it tohis hokage, konoha can't do anything to me right now, and itachi will fall ito the curse of hatred soon enough" 'I will start by murdering all of the clan, not only the uchiha police, but the innocents as well' he then dissapeared in a vortex.

(Sarutobi) " I see the man in question seems to fit the description Kushina gave 8 years ago on the kyuubi attack, she also mentioned he introduced himself as Uchiha Madara... but she didn't believe it for a second" 'She also seemed sad for some reason, like her heart was torn apart in the mention of the masked man, i thought at the time she was sad because he destroyed her future for her family, but it seems there is something else here, but what?' "Are you surehe will only stop at the uchiha police?"

(Itachi)"Hai he didn't seem to be lying, he also seems to be the leader of the organization, you want me to spy, it is fortunate for me"

(Sarutobi)"Hmm you may go" 'what have i done, i looked for the culprit inside the clan, but it turns out the bastard behind the attack 8 years back was really a betrayer of konoha, but how all of the uchiha are accounted for, and there weren't any missing-nins from that clan since Madara, Kushina what did you know, that you didn't tell me, it seems you realised who exactly attacked but you told no one...'

A man in bandages was addressing an army of ninjas in an undreground base of root right beneath konoha.

(Danzo) ".. then we will have a window to collect their eyes after the massacre, for the good of konoha"

"Hai Danzo-sama" the ninjas said in unison, then dissapeared 'Hiruzen, you are too naive to think that letting the younger uchiha to live, just like tobirama said, the curse of hatred in that clan is too strong, they are too emotional for their own good, and their absolute trust in the sharingan eventually turns their confidence to arrogance'

Danzo grit his teeth remembering the events of last night

(Danzo)"With this eye konoha can be great again!" he was holding the mangekyou sharingan as he was walking to the edge of the forest towards one of his ROOT bases, after a while a masked figure with a joker's design appeared right in front of him holding the right hand foward then he showed the mangekyou eyes in his hand, Danzo immediatly opened his hands to see the eye he stole from shisui missing 'how is this possible, no now its not the time for this' Danzo started running towards the masked figure in a frenetic pace, the figure put the eye in a jar where a preservation fluid was then the figure dissapeared like it wasn't there, only a feminine musical chuckle was heard 'impossible it wasn't teleportation, wasn't natural speed, time-space ninjutsu? but i didn't even notice the chakra buildup, damn, DAMN DAMNN'

Mikoto was walking around konoha reminicing of the past, especially her moments with her best friend kushina, heh they were the exact opposite of eachother but even then they manage to stay close as sisters, she was passing an empty park where she noticed a lone figure sitting on one of the swings, it was a girl, a bit tall for her age, she was the incarnation of perfection, and with an unusually colored hair that looked like the sunset behind her, she was trying hard to get the swing to work, but she didn't even understand how it worked, really.

(Mikoto)'Kushina's daughter, heh it seems that she is having trouble working the swings, hmm, it still early so let's give her some help' she thought as she approached the little girl "hei do you want some help?" The girl looked up to see a woman with raven hair and onix eyes, the girl pushed her bangs to the back of the year, gave a smile that could topple nations and nodded happily, that made the woman smile back involuntary, then she started pushing the swing, just being content in seeing the girls happy face

~~Narumi pov~~

(Narumi)'how embarrasing, i can't even use a swing properly, where did the 10x faster than any prodigy cheat go? Kuh i must not show my blush' i looked up "my name is uzumaki narumi you are?" ' i know she is my God mother but still this is our first meeting'

(Mikoto)" my name is uchiha mikoto, what are you doing here alone where is your brother?" She asked with concern.

(Narumi)" onii-chan is fighting a dark haired kid with a duckbutt styled hair and a strange fan on the back of his clothes, ne mikoto-san now that i look closely he looks like you, a little bit, is he your son"

(Mikoto)" is his name sasuke?"

(Narumi)"hai"

(Mikoto)"why is your brother fighting sasuke?" She asked surprised.

(Narumi)"Its the other way around, he challenged my brother to a spar, to prove that he is worthy of my affections or something like that, he even brought his older brother to proctor the match, its happening right now in the river bank right there"

(Mikoto)'heh i see so sasuke has a crush on kushina's daughter but...' "Narumi-chan why aren't you there to root for your brother, why don't like fighting?" 'Maybe she doesn't want to see her brother being beaten or something, sasuke is the third overall in the academy, and the second highest score in the classes as a shinobi although there is a kunoichi and a shinobi who score higher than him, he just doesn't talk about who is second and first overall, fugaku was quite displeased in sasuke score, it showed that he didn't have much talent in comparison with his brother, but that's normal i don't want another child to go through the same things itachi experienced as a ninja that early in life'

(Narumi)" no i like fighting, why should i keep rooting if i already know who's going to win, Naruto-oniichan is the strongest person in the entire world, he is basically invincible~". Mikoto laughed a bit.

(Narumi)"mou mikoto-obasan you don't believe me do you"

(Mikoto)"but.." 'hah she is so cute, she thinks her elder brother is invincible, kinda like sasuke in that aspect, he idolizes his brother too much, and sasuke has started learning the uchiha interceptor style, there is no way the academy taijutsu can compare'

(Narumi)"if you don't believe me let's go see it" i got out of the swing and grabbed her hand dragging her until we arrived in the river bank "see mikoto-obaasan your son lost" i pointed at the downed figure in the bank.

(Itachi) " shousha uzumaki naruto"

(Mikoto)"no way" in the bank there were currently 3 boys the largest of them was proctoring the match one figure was a boy with blobd hair and teal eyes, he was the highest class heartbreaker, and would become very handsome in the future 'he looks like minato, but he is more handsome than him and the color of the eyes is diferent from minato's azure eyes' the other figure was currently with his back on the floor, he had bruises and scraches littered in his body, he also had a black eye.

(Narumi)"see naruto onii-chan is second overall in our academy year, he could take my spot as first if he applied more in the theory aspect, he is pretty strong, there was no way sasuke could win~"

We could hear onii-chan saying something to the downed figure

(Naruto)"sasuke no matter how much you train, you will never be able to even scrach me, you will also not be able to get my imouto's affection, not now nor ever, she doesn't care about ants beneath her feet, and you are one of them" sasuke looked at the boy with a look of hatred, but only two noticed it.

Harsh, but true i disliked sasuke, as muchif not more than canon naruto, he was the ultimate emo kid, edge lord, and whiny bitch i have seen, i still don't understand how itachi could still love the prick, and since i appeared, and since im the transmigrant for indra instead of sasuke, it threw his system out of whack, and it means that his curse of hatred was amplified by alot, and after i ripped indra's chakra from him completely, he will never activate the sharingan, all of the uchiha has at least a sliver of chakra from their common ancestor, thats were the 'special' chakra is and once its released on the brain it activates as the sharingan, their arrongant and prideful attitude comes from this chakra, but since its so dominant in the clan they pass their arrogant attitude to their children, even without their chakra modifying their minds, rare are the people that survive the character change, most of them being mikoto, itachi, shisui, and the old obito, sadly obito is far gone in the curse of hatred, and he has the right to feel pride in his abilities, he is young yet very powerful more powerful than the monkey even, and thats not an easy feat, in that regard its good that sasuke will never be avle to achieve the revered eyes of the clan, since his curse is going to be several times worse than normal, its best to have an edgy kid without a powerful tool like the sharingan that hates the world and want to see it burn, the sharingan is a powerful tool afterall, but i will pity mikoto and itachi in the future, they will have to handle a fugaku again only 100x worse.

(Narumi)"onii-chan, mou you are so blunt at times, gomen mikoto-obasan onii-chan didn't mean anything bad by it, he is only a bit overprotective of me"

(Mikoto)"no, its alright" 'but even so naruto seems to be a little arrogant, in his speech, to say that sasuke will never be able to beat him in such conviction..' itachi picked pu his little brother in a piggyback ride and walked to where his towards his mother who was with narumi, naruto was walking besides him in a listless pace, naruto then grabbed narumi's hand a faint pink was seen on her cheeks

(Naruto)"let's go home imouto-chan"

(Narumi)"h-hai" then they left for their home.

(Mikoto)'heh so narumi-chan has a crush on her older brother, sasuke you are out of luck, even though incest is not frowned upon , and actually encouraged to keep the blood pure, it is not practiced by close family members, like brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son, because it may cause birth defects, but thats not true in the case of the uzumaki, all of them without fail will give birth to a healthy child, its surreal the vitality they have, almost inhuman, so sasuke they can commit incest and it would not be frowned upon, hah sasuke, each passing day you look more and more like my hateful husband in terms of personality, why couldn't you be more like itachi, fighting their precious person is not the way to win a girl's heart, you should know this sasuke, it's like you are seeing her like a trophy to be gained and i dislike that' "Itachi how was the fight?" She asked as she thought sasuke was sleeping, exausted.

(Itachi)"it was entirely one-sided even with the interceptor style sasuke couldn't even get close to hitting him, sasuke got provoked easily, and made various mistakes, what really surprised me was that naruto was stronger than me when i was that age, i thought with a little training, and a few pointers sasuke could defeat that kid, but it seems i was wrong, naruto is a prodigy even above me it seems"

(Mikoto)"aren't you exagerating at your age you were already genin and had the matured sharingan already"

(Itachi)"i am sure, the strength, speed, tactics screamed chunin level" 'even though he might still be holding back, no.. thats impossible' " and i got my genin license and the mature sharingan when i was 8 kaa-san he is still 7 years old"

(Mikoto)"haha gomen, its just that he is a bit tall for his age, so..." "even so sasuke picked a very hard rival to beat"

(Itachi)"no its alright, i hope this teaches a lesson to sasuke, that no matter how strong you are there will always be someone stronger."

(Mikoto)"how true " they started walking home towards the uchiha coumpound.

(Itachi)'teo day until the mission, huh hokage-sama still hasn't found shisui's body anywhere and with him mossing the vlan will start to suspect me.'

Both were in though and didn't notice sasuke in the back of itachi making an ugly face and in his mind ythe name naruto was repeated each time with more venom, the curse originated from zetsu started acting in the depths of the childs heart, with an ugly feeling of jealousy and powerlessness he screamed in his mind.

(Sasuke)'NARUTO'

~~the next day~~

Hmm today was interesting, it was just like canon where itachi was passively accused of 'killing' shisui after all he was missing for 2 days straight, he then beat the three uchihas like it was nothing, as expected from an s-rank, he then heard sasuke voice to stop, then fugaku arrived and itachi apologized gor ranting on about the uselessness of the clan, but not before showing his mangekyou to sasuke, itachi went to meet obito in the same shrine and started planning on how they were going to attack, after the dinner sasuke asked his parents about the unusual sharingan he saw in his brothers eyes, his parents were concerned but explained to him nonetheless.

(Sasuke)"kaa-san why does father focus so much on itachi?" He grumbled a bit, his eyes showed envy at the attention his brother had.

(Mikoto)"aah so you are feeling left out huh, even though he doesn't seem to care much about family, the one he speaks to me the most about is you sasuke" 'i can't tell that his father only speaks about how his son is a failure for not being able to beat the 'jinchuuriki brats' as he calls them, hah if only i hadn't been forced into this arranged marriage by the elders in our clan, kushina maybe would have shared a pice of that handsome blond that was minato, but she was very selfish so sharing might have been impossible. The only good thing that came out of this marriage was itachi, sasuke reminds me so much of my hateful husband it kinda makes me a little jaded, where itachi is humble, sasuke is overly proud, where itachi is exceptional, sasuke is only average in uchiha standards, i even lost my motherly love for him, i tried to get him to humble a bit but, it doesn't seem to work, honestly sometimes its like i am forced to take care of him, only because we are related by blood, and itachi can't see that, he only sees sasuke as the toddler he holded at one moment of his life, am i really a bad mother if i dislike my child's attitude so much, itachi tried, and i tried, but it doesn't stop him from trying to emulate his father.' "And even then itachi is the next clan head, so your father has to groom him to be a worthy clan head" 'more like his weapon to use against the other villages when he gets the hokage position, honestly fugaku was always jealous that minato, a clanless orphan of the second war could get the position of the hokage vefore him, even though fugaku didn't measure to the blond, it is nigh impossible for a lone a-rank to beat an s-rank even more an ss-rank the diferences in sheer power are insurmontable, yet he overestimates himself, even though his son could beat him with his eyes closed, and his hands beside his back, itachi did you really kill my nephew shisui for just these cursed eyes, why?'.

The night of the massacre finally arrived, itachi was in his normal anbu uniform, he unsheathed his tanto, and dissapeared inside the coumpound, he had already put a genjutsu on those that were innocent, and started opening the homes and slashing any who came in his way, even those young genin the same age as him, fell by his blade, once all of the traitors were murdered he went towards the main house but was stopped by fugaku

(Fugaku)"itachi, what lies behind this massacre" 'how dare you kill MY clan like this now we can't even take cobtrol of the village'

(Itachi)"i see the future of the shinovi, and the future of our clan" itachi's eyes shined and showed fugaku a genjutsu of sasuke leading the uchiha clan to greater heights

(Fugaku)"i see.. sasuke.. huh.. " 'even though he is weak, the future itachi promised seems a good one, that boy tries to emulate me too much, but it can have its uses, the uchiha clan can be great with sasuke leading it, unfortunatly i have to admit that itachi is stronger then me'

Fugaku then dispelled, showing that it was a kage bunshin all along.

A masked man appeared in the uchiha police building, he flicked like a ghost, entered the building and killed everyone inside with extreme prejudice, he then walked out without a single injury, just then 5 shurinkens were thrown towards him but passed right through him as if he was a ghost and hit the pillar behind him.

(Izumi)"no way.."

(Obito)"hoh those are good eyes" ' and if my sharingan can see correctly, she is pregnant, itachi not even 15 years old and already going to be a father, NOT..." he lauched some chains to capture the 16 year old girl, but before tit could reach her it was wrapped around an arm, the arm belonged to a robed individual with a joker's mask.

(Obito)"who are you? No i doesn't matter" obito themn charged foward in the hopes of capturing him with his kamui, he reached out with his hand.

(Narumi)'yog'sothoth:rule of space' a black bone that shined like the night sky appeared in her hand she then slashed his hand clean off, it was completely white and looked like clay.

(Obito)'impossible kamui should have activated and protected me from whatever that weapon was' the masked figure charged foward did more attacks and obito learned the hard way that his space-time ninjutsu wasn't working, he then retreated to his dimension.

(Narumi)'operation drive obito out of konoha before he can kill the innocent members of the clan complete, although he made out with all the money in the uchiha vaults, so they are now dirt poor.'

'yog'sothoth:rule of time' she dissapeared in an instant leaving a terrified izumi, who then fainted as if she was hit on the back of the neck, the clay arm was nowhere to be found.

(Fugaku) "...i don't want to enter a deathmatch with my son" was the last words of the man before a blade striked his back killing him.

(Mikoto)"... itachi do what you must, just know that i love you with all my heart" she was then hit on the back of the neck by her son, she widened her eyes in knowing that her beloved son wouldn't kill her then she blacked out.

(Sasuke)"why nii-san" he said with eyes of impotent rage after he witnessed the tsukuyomi.

(Itachi)"to test my capacity, you aren't even worth killing right now, you are just an insect, hate me, abhor me... run... run and like an insect cling to your unsightly life, and if you have the chance to possess the same eyes as i do, then you will be worth my time.." sasuke went into coma after he heard the last words of his brother, the brother that took his father from him, itachi sighed.

(Itachi)"i was hoping the mental stress would at least activate his sharingan, but it seems i was wrong, is sasuke incapable of achieving these eyes, then what should i do..." he then left the night to report to his hokage.

After he reported he left the village in a hurry to the meeting point where the masked man would be waiting.

Mikoto woke up in a bed, she was in the hospital, then she remembered the events of last night, where she got the sick satisfaction of itachi killing her husband, she then remembered she was ready to die but itachi didn't

(Mikoto)'itachi you are too kind sometimes'

Just then the hokage entered the room

(Sarutobi)"mikoto" his voice full of regret "go to my office when you are ready" then he dissapeared in a puff of smoke signifying a kage bunshin.

She quickly dressed and went to the hokage tower, in the way she was being looked with eyes of pity by the konoha population, which she disliked a little bit, when she reached the hokage office, she was escorted inside by an anbu.

(Sandaime)"anbu leave us, now then, let's talk, last night uchiha itachi went and murdered most of the clan, the only ones who survived were, izumi and 23 children and 3 toddlers were the survivors including your son sasuke."

(Mikoto)"is sasuke okay" she didn't realize but her tone showed more that it was more like an obligation than caring, the sandaime noticed and raised an eyebrow, but answered nontheless.

(Sarutobi)"he is in a coma, and it seems he won't wake up soon".

(Mikoto)"i see"

(Sarutobi)"the coumpound of the uchiha is closed for investigation, it seems the vaults are empty, but the library is still full, so-"

(Narumi)"ohayo saru-oji"

(Naruto)"oi, oi you can't barge in other's conversation its bad manners you know imouto-chan"

(Narumi)"hehe but saru-oji promised he would take us to ichiraku's ramen today~."

In the door was the two uzumaki twins bantering to each other, it was a pretty sweet scene.

(Narumi)"ne oji-san let's go"

(Sarutobi)"mataku, hey mikoto how about we eat ramen for lunch, my pay"

Mikoto chuckled a bit vefore answering yes

In the stand both twins were devouring the ramen were devouring their plates with impressive speed, the funny thing is that they ate with class and dignity, but the speed which they ate ruined the etiquette they had.

(Mikoto)'so both your kids have your obsession with ramen kushina, must ba an uzumaki thing'

(Sarutobi)" so mikoto, i can give you a monthly stipend, as you are the matriarch of the clan you can do what you want with the children, if you want to adopt them and keep the clan close or send them to an orpha-"

(Mikoto)"stop right there hokage-sama i shall be adopting them, i wouldn't trust an orphanage to them, never, as for izumi she can choose to live with us once she wakes up, well the problem is where should we stay, with the clan coumpound closed we don't have anywhere to stay, the uchiha vaults are empty, and your monthly stipend won't be enough to pay rent to that many people".

(Narumi)"you can stay in our building if you want" narumi butted in the conversation again, naruto at her side just face palmed.

(Mikoto)"heh?"

(Narumi)"you don't wanna? The building might be abandoned but we keep in good condition, the apartments are pretty luxurious and it has more than 100 rooms, don't worry about rent we have the deeds to the land, you can pay later when you have earned money"

(Mikoto)"but.."

(Narumi)"aw what's keeping you~ we already have an uchiha living there, but he is pretty injured, but im taking care of him, his name is shisui~".

Both mikoto and the monkey searched for the most intelligent response in their minds...

"Heh?" Naruto facepalmed again.
