Blood Stained (Itachi x oc)

Koneko's POV

Kisame and I scaled the small, unsuspecting village as we concealed our chakra. We walked side by side, acting as wandering tourists who were looking for a good place to eat.

We stopped at a dumpling shop and sat down across from each other, each of us looking around, taking in all of our surroundings.

I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched from every angle, I looked at Kisame and his eyes told me that he felt the same thing. An older lady came to us finally, we ordered and she bowed at us and scurried off to the back.

We made small talk, trying to blend in and not seem so suspicious to the villagers. The lady came out with our dumplings and hot tea, then scurried off again, as if she wasn't allowed to talk to us.

I wasted no time, I bit into my sweet dumplings, earning a chuckle from Kisame. "Geez, kid, you really weren't kidding when you said you wanted dumplings." He said and pushed his plate to me.

I laughed, "Dumplings are my guilty pleasure. So, do you know anything about the new guy?" I asked, trying to make some conversation.

"Well, I've heard about him, he's an extremely talented shinobi. Very young, probably around the same age as you." Kisame responded, I raised my eyebrow.

I though back to my life before I landed myself in this group.

I grew up in the Hokage's building, never to interact with any other children because I wasn't bred to play, my sole purpose was to be an assassin.

I wonder if my parents ever regretted putting me through the torturous customs in that tiny room, tailoring me to be an emotionless machine that served the village.

I only got to meet them a couple of times, Hanako and Daisuke Uzumaki. They came by maybe three times during my time in the Leaf. I always wondered if the lack of love made me who I am, if it made me an evil person or less of a human.

I hated feeling as if I wasn't an ordinary human, when I was sent off on missions to kill important men and feudal lords I saw other people and they all seemed happy, even if they were poor or less fortunate, they all seemed to have everything they needed.

Their auras always seemed bright and content, they seemed fulfilled with their life. A bright pink and yellow hue surrounded all of these people, making me a little envious that my own aura radiated nothing but darkness.

I knew I didn't hate my parents, but the fact that they didn't have that pink or yellow aura made me become disgusted by them, everyone in my village seemed so empty and unhappy.

Who am I to talk, right? It just never sat right with me that their auras almost matched my own and their circumstances were a million times better, I decided that I needed to do something.

I needed to ease them of their pain, I needed to annihilate the village and be done with it all. Starting with my own parents, they were the root of my problems and they needed to be the starting point of my rebellion.

"You okay, kid?" Kisame asked me with an eyebrow raised. I snapped out of my thoughts and gave him a small smile, "Yeah, sorry. Anyway, you ready to head out?" I asked him, I wanted to get this mission over with.

We wandered through the small village when we came across a group of villagers having a heated discussion, they seemed to be gossiping.

I gave Kisame a look and he nodded at me, "Do your thing, kid." He gave me the OK and I began my identical transformation jutsu.
