Konoha was a shinobi village filled with beauty, peace, and kindness. It was also the greatest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
That evening, unlike the peaceful atmosphere elsewhere in Konoha, the Uchiha Clan Compound on the village's outskirts reeked of blood. Screams rang out from every house.
After the screams died away, a shinobi drenched in blood and clad in Anbu gear slowly emerged. He wiped the blood from the corner of his eye and walked toward the distance, where his home stood...
Uchiha Sasuke had just returned from the Ninja Academy. He seemed to sense that something was wrong. His steps grew heavier, yet he quickened his pace.
As he entered the Uchiha Clan Compound, Sasuke saw the Uchiha lying in pools of blood all around him. A suffocating feeling washed over him, and he used all his strength to run toward his home.
When he reached his parents' room, Sasuke heard two heavy thuds. Already fearing what had happened, he struggled to open the door.
"Dad! Mom!" The moment Sasuke pushed the door open and saw his parents lying on the floor, he let out a pained howl!
"Why?" Supporting the still-warm bodies of his parents, Sasuke looked at his older brother standing nearby—Uchiha Itachi!
"Of course, it's to test the capacity of these eyes..."
After beating his little brother senseless, Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke, who had temporarily passed out. He wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes, glanced one last time at the parents he had just killed, then left with tears in his eyes.
After his parents had died in vain, Uchiha Itachi completed his mission and left with a complicated heart.
A pitch-black hole appeared out of thin air above Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto's bodies. Then a black eye slowly emerged.
[Transmigration successful. Selecting a suitable body for the host... Body selected. Target: Uchiha Sasuke. Merging souls...]
As a series of mechanical sounds rang out, the black eye slowly moved toward Uchiha Sasuke, whose body lay unconscious after being tormented by Tsukuyomi.
Just as the two were about to draw close, a man with six-pointed star eyes slowly appeared behind Uchiha Sasuke's body and began resisting the eye's attempt to merge with him.
[Unknown situation encountered. System malfunction...]
The mechanical voice rang out again. The black eye began slowly devouring the phantom behind Uchiha Sasuke. After a long while, the phantom disappeared, and a black mark appeared on Sasuke's right wrist.
[System bound successfully. Host: Uchiha Sasuke!]
The mechanical voice sounded once more, though this time it seemed extremely weak. Then the eye on Sasuke's right wrist emitted rays of purple light that filled the entire room.
After the purple light faded, the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were gone. The only thing left in the room was Uchiha Sasuke, who had completely passed out.
In a grove within the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Itachi faced a bloodied masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara. After a long silence, Itachi put away the blade stained with his parents' blood.
"How cruel! You even killed your own parents. Akatsuki really is a perfect fit for you!" The masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Itachi's expressionless face and couldn't help praising him.
Who would have thought Uchiha Itachi wasn't just a genius, but a thoroughly devoted son, too?
"I still have something to take care of. Excuse me." The masked man's praise pained Itachi, but his beloved little brother still wasn't completely safe. He turned and vanished into the night.
After Itachi left, the masked man began his search for treasure. After all, the Sharingan was quite useful.
After leaving the masked man, Itachi first found Konoha's biggest scapegoat, Shimura Danzō. Using the village's intelligence as leverage, he warned Danzō not to lay a hand on his little brother.
"Your threat is somewhat interesting, but I'm not interested in Uchiha Sasuke for now. He's a failure who hasn't even awakened his Sharingan."
After Itachi left, the disdain showed in the eye visible beneath Shimura Danzō's bandages.
"Hurry up and collect all those Sharingan!"
Danzō unconsciously touched the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye and gave an order to his subordinates in Root.
"Yes!"
The guards who had been standing beside Danzō swiftly disappeared after receiving the order.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, stood alone in an open area, waiting.
"Is that you, Itachi?"
At Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Itachi, who had come from Danzō's side, appeared right in front of him.
"So the tragedy still happened." After confirming it was Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the blood moon hanging over the Uchiha Clan Compound, his expression complicated.
"Please take care of Sasuke, Lord Third." Looking at the kind old man before him, Itachi made his request.
"Don't worry about Sasuke. But what will you do now?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Itachi, who had no way back, and felt sorry for him.
"I'll join that man's organization and use that to keep them from attacking Konoha." Itachi's answer to Sarutobi Hiruzen's question was flawless.
"Be careful. I'll announce your defection tomorrow." As he listened to that flawless answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze flickered. It seemed he had other plans.
"I'll leave Sasuke in your care." Hearing the Third Hokage's words, Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique and swiftly departed.
"The Uchiha are gone, too. Now no one can stop the rise of the Sarutobi Clan!"
Looking at the blood-soaked Uchiha Clan Compound ahead, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly.
He then sent his Anbu to take Uchiha Sasuke to Konoha Hospital. After all, Sasuke was the sole surviving Uchiha. If handled properly, he would make another valuable enforcer in the future!
"Lord Third, the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and his wife have disappeared!"
After a long while, an Anbu arrived with Uchiha Sasuke on his back and reported.
"Understood. Take him to the hospital first." Looking at Uchiha Sasuke, who was barely clinging to life, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help praising Itachi. What a brutal beating!
In the damp, gloomy underground, Danzō waited for his Sharingan to arrive.
"Lord Danzō, the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and his wife have disappeared!"
A Root shinobi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reported respectfully.
"Understood. You may leave." After thinking for a moment, Danzō knew who was behind it. Still, with tonight's great haul, two Three-Tomoe Sharingan didn't seem all that important.
Outside Konoha, the masked man looked at Itachi, who had arrived late, and smiled strangely. As expected, Itachi had buried Uchiha Fugaku and his wife's bodies!
