(Book the First) Crimson Light in the Uchiha

The Time Until Birth

It's really remarkable how many stories are about Sasuke having a sister :3 I hope you find mine enjoyable!

As you can probably tell, this is my first fanfiction -.-

Again, I do not own Naruto. I only own the character of his sister and any other additional characters that were not in the original stories. I also own the plot of this story (parts that are changed) ;)

~A few days later in the forest around Konoha

Sasuke panted and held his breath as he sat in a fork of two thick branches on a tall tree. He smiled and held in an excited laugh, he would never be found. Sasuke took out a kunai from his pouch; it had a tag on it that said "To the Winner,' if Sasuke managed to keep this kunai with him for at least twenty minutes Itachi would acknowledge his improvement and even treat him to something, whatever it would be, Sasuke hated sweets. Sasuke grinned and grasped the tagged kunai tightly. There was a black blur and the kunai suddenly disappeared from Sasuke's content grasp.

"Hey!" shouted Sasuke and he caught sight of Itachi leaping from tree-branch to tree-branch. "No! Give the kunai back Itachi-niisan!"

Sasuke followed in desperate chase and while he lept from tree to tree he reached into his pouch and pulled out two shurikens.

Take this!" Sasuke threw the shurikens as hard as he could at his brother. One landed in front of Itachi, startling him just a little, giving Sasuke a fraction of a second to catch up. The other shuriken was aimed for Itachi's left hand that held the tagged kunai. The seond shuriken was easily dodged and caught by Itachi who smiled and threw it back at Sasuke. Sasuke yelped and leaped backwards as the shuriken flew at him. The shuriken whizzed forward for a second before circling back to its thrower. Sasuke suddenly realized what the shuriken had done, the decrease of distance between Itachi and him that was caused by the first shuriken had been replaced with a sudden increase because of Sasuke dodging backwards.

"You should of avoided the shuriken by going to the side Sasuke," called Itachi, he swung the kunai by his index finger, "come on Sasuke, let's see if you can get this kunai back."

"Just you wait," said Sasuke and he pursued Itachi at his fastest speed.

Itachi turned to face Sasuke and smiled. Itachi did a hand seal and said, "Shunshin no Jutsu!" Itachi disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"Wha? No way," protested Sasuke, "that's not fair, you used a jutsu that I didn't learn before!" Sasuke quickened his pace, "I'll get my kunai back no matter what, even if you cheat!"

Itachi appeared in a clearing and smiled to himself when he thought of Sasuke's determination. Sasuke still had a lot to learn, but he was still pretty impressive for a four year old. Sasuke was able to leap from tree to tree already and throw kunais and shurikens. As for jutsu, Itachi sighed, Sasuke still needed to work on them, not that Itachi was like Fugaku and expected him to perfect them... Itachi decided that soon enough he would get to those jutsus.

There was a very faint rustle of leaves and Itachi immediately sharpened his senses. His eyes pulsed for but a moment, and then his vision changed. Everything around him was suddenly very focused and he could notice the tiniest details, it payed off to be trained in concentration. Itachi turned his head towards the six o'clock direction and saw an approaching form filled with Chakra. Sasuke was approaching. Itachi smiled and held the kunai in his hand and stood in a stance.

"HAAAA!" yelled Sasuke bursting out from the branches with two spare kunais in his hands. Sasuke leaped at Itachi who easily dodged him. Two kunais whizzed in the air aiming straight for Itachi's left hand that still held the tagged kunai. Itachi easily slipped his arm away from the blades and stood unfazed. Sasuke aimed a kick at Itachi but his leg was grabbed by him instead.
