I'm in a void... Where... Am... I...

Suddenly a bright light envelops the void, blinding me for a moment until I can see again. I'm staring at a ceiling. The ceiling has a familiar crest on it... A fan... It's red with a white handle on it... I blink as I wake up fully and gasp.

I'm in my room! I thought I was with that Danzo person... Where is he now, was it a dream? I am in my bed so I quickly try to get stand off it, but I end up falling flat on my face. My legs are shorter than normal...

I hear screams outside suddenly. My eyes widen when I run to and look out my window. People are running through the streets, some fighting an blurry enemy, others trying to escape or save their children and families. All of these people have three things in common. Porcelain skin, black hair, and onyx eyes. They are Uchiha.

They should be dead! What sort of mockery is this?! I'll kill whoever dishonors their memory! I turn around and start to run towards the door and instead fall on my butt as I run right into someone's chest.

"Heh, what a weakling." My eyes flash, I am not weak! I look up to glare at whoever dare call the Uchiha weak and instead find my eyes widening. He... looks just like me! There are some things off though... His hair is streaked with purple and red, and his Sharingan looks different as well. He's also wearing a black shirt with the Uchiha crest... Shattered?! How dare he!

I jump up and throw a kick at his chest only for him to grab my foot and flip me onto my stomach on the ground. He has both of my wrists in a lock and I growl as I can't move. "You will always be weak as long as you don't have hatred. You are a weakling, making these bonds and connections, worthless!"

I scream as he taunts me in anger. I can practically feel the smirk on his face as he forces me to listen to my kins' agonized screams. Suddenly his breath tickles my ear as he whispers. "If you don't want to be weak, then you must obey Danzo. He will make you strong, then you can defeat Itachi. Don't you see... I am what will become of you, I am strong. You can be strong."

Danzo... If this is what could become of me... If I can be this strong... No... NO!!

Tears of frustration fall down my face as I begin struggling even more, and I topple him, or me I suppose... Off of me and and I run straight out the window, jumping off the balcony outside my room, landing on the ground. I breathe harshly as I smell the burning flesh and buildings, the smoke filling the air from fire jutsus lighting the compound on fire. I see the pile of bodies just like last time.

Shiro said to be strong you need to have comrades... That hatred will only hold you back... But...

"Foolish little brother." His voice breaks me out of my thoughts and my eyes widen in horror as I see my oldest brother. Itachi. I scream in anger and run at him ready to destroy him for killing my family, when all of a sudden he is in front of me and holding me down with a foot on my chest.

He presses down slightly, making me cough in pain. "You know nothing. You see nothing. And... You probably never will."

This isn't what happened last time, what's going on?! First a strange me and now this philosophic Itachi?! I just want him to die!! "... Sasuke ..."

My eyes widen as I look up at him. He said my name... He never said my name. "I know you can't hear me now... But I'm... Sorry..."

I don't understand... He did this to test his strength, why is he sorry, and what does he mean I can't hear him? I hear him fine! Something's different though.

He is crying now, something in my memories he never did. My mind isn't foggy as it was on that night, this memory if it is that... Feels real. If it was though, that would mean...

Damnit ITACHI!! He used a genjutsu on me! I hear him start talking again. "I... I love you Otouto, and I hope you grow up well. I wish I could see you become--" I'll never know what he really wanted to say because at that moment atleast twenty shinobi surrounded us.

"Itachi Uchiha, you are hereby to be executed for massacring the entire population of the Uchiha clan!" The apparent leader was wearing a wolf-like painted mask and had silver hair... Wait, silver? That's Kakashi!

"What do you mean, Kakashi-senpai? As you can see I and my foolish Otouto are still alive." His voice is cold and hard again, and as if to prove something, he digs his foot into my chest further, making me cough up specks of blood.

Instead of saying anything he made a hand signal and all the ninja charged at Itachi. Itachi just disappeared into a flock of crows that flew away somewhere, the ninja following, leaving me alone. Then Shiro-nii appeared in a black flash and had his arms spread straight out in a protective manner. "Come on out, Itachi."

He... was still here?? I watched as Itachi walked out from the shadows caused by the fire, a slight smirk on his face. "Still perceptive as ever, Shiro."

Why did I never hear about this? How did all of this happen and I was in a genjutsu the entire time?! "You put him in the Tsukuyomi. Why?"

I've never seen Shiro-nii like this... He's always so bubbly and idiotic... The vision starts to fade and I see an image of Danzo. "You will obey me, boy."

His voice... So... My head feels hazy as I unconsciously answer. "Yes." My tongue burns, but I can't discern anything at the moment.....

Everything goes completely black. I'm floating through the void. I can feel tears trailing down my face and into the void. Does this make me... Weak? I'm so... Confused...
