Naruto: The Uchiha Prodigy by Rifat

Chapter 1: Prologue - Night of the Massacre

Uchiha Clan Compound, Konohagakure no Sato, Hi no Kuni.

A boy, age of seven years, is running through the isolated area between the buildings. It is filled with traditional Shinto styled buildings.

The boy himself is 4'3 which is considerably tall for his age. He has jet black raven hair and azure, blue eyes just like his mother. His brothers apparently did not inherit the eye color that only he and his mother shared. He has slightly tanned skin and has a lean build for his age. Slight traces of baby fat can be found on his face as they accentuate his face pretty well. He is wearing a dark blue kimono and frantically crying because he previously heard writhing, nightmare inducing screams coming from the main side of the compound.

On the back of his kimono, is a crest. The crest is that of a fan divided in two sections. The top half is red and lower half is white.

However, now the color of his eyes have changed out of pure instinct.

Just a few days ago he had learned that his remaining living brother had gone missing and was considered dead, his eyes had evolved from the traumatic news he had heard. A small opaque black dot lies in the center of his red iris. Surrounding the dot are three tomoe, lazily spinning as if they are waiting for something to happen. This eye is a rare dojutsu and is considered one of the most rare Kekkei Genkai in the history of the shinobi world. The Sharingan.

These eyes are known only to manifest in the eyes of those who belong to the Uchiha Clan. Said boy is also an Uchiha. He had awakened his at age six and trained ever since an incident changed his life. He did however hide this fact at his brother's request. His name is Naruto Uchiha. This is his story.

Naruto Uchiha was born to the lesser branch of the Uchiha Clan but he is nonetheless an Uchiha.

Sometimes though he had been treated worse than dirt because of what his father Genjuro Uchiha did. He was considered somewhat of a 'traitor' in the eyes of his fellow clansmen.

Why you ask? Genjuro and his wife Satsuki Uchiha were once considered the greatest Uchiha to emerge from the branch side of the clan since Kagami Uchiha.

When Satsuki became pregnant with their first child, she immediately decided that she would quit the life of shinobi and raise a family. She had lost her brother in a battle that caused her to awaken the next stage of the Sharingan. The Mangekyou Sharingan. However she was wise like her husband Genjuro, who had also awakened the Mangekyou, and rarely used it fully aware of the consequence that followed from too much usage of the evolved dojutsu.

After their first son was born she was over the moon as was her husband.

Their first child was Obito Uchiha. He was a kind child who had inherited his parents' traits through and through. The main difference was that he was a slow learner when it came to being a shinobi. He would wear goggles and proclaimed that he was going to be the first Uchiha who became Hokage.

He would later go on to study under Minato Namikaze one of the most up and coming elite jounins of Konoha.

Five years after that, their second son Shisui Uchiha was born.

Even from a young age he showed signs of being a prodigy. Yet unlike the normal Uchiha who would immediately gloat about this and inflate his pride so as to it could touch the sky, Shisui was rather kind in his behavior and very humble about his skills. He especially looked up to his brother Obito, who may have been weak in the eyes of the elite but to Shisui he was what a shinobi should be.

A person who never gives up and overcomes the odds.

Eight years later. The family of four received news that make them happier than ever.
