All Is Not What It Seems

Everything You Know Is A Lie

"Now Itachi...you asked for it, so here it is at last." Sasuke proclaimed as the skies above roared with thunder, rain, and the young Uchiha's excitement from his dragon flames, getting what he believes will do the trick. "I'll make your death a reality." Sasuke made his way to top of the partially destroyed Uchiha hideout and looked down at his brother.

"This jutsu guides the lighting down from the heavens, all I have to do is merely direct its power right at you." His hands sparked as he summoned his, hopefully, final weapon and he raised his arm. "Come Kirin!" He commanded and the lighting from took shape in the form of a dragon, its eyes just as bloodthirsty for the intended prey as much as its master's. "Now, be gone with a thunder clap." Sasuke brought his hand down to his feet and the Kirin retreated back into the sky before powerful blast of lighting strikes the earth, the impact turning more of the hideout into more rubble.

Next thing the 16 year old found himself, still standing, but within the rubble, believing that he will find body of his estranged older brother.

But that is not the case.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" He heard Itachi screamed, but clearly that wasn't directed at him.

"I can't let this happen! I can't let you did this Itachi!" A voice yelled back. A voice, despite it being almost ten years since he had heard it, he recognized it instantly.

"I-it can't be." Sasuke gasped out, his eyes widening in horror and disbelief as the dust cleared. In horror of the giant, green creature that shield his brother from his attack.

And disbelief at the sight of its commander.

Shisui Uchiha.

"I won't let you do this!" Shisui yelled at Itachi, who, despite being exhausted from his fighting and sore from his wounds, grabbed Shisui aggressively by the collar.

"You promised to me that you wouldn't interfere!" He shouted, frustrated that he couldn't end this quickly.

"And you lied to me, so I had to! I couldn't just sit back and let you kill yourself! Not like this! I can't let you!"

"It doesn't change anything!" Shisui shoved Itachi's hands away.

"Of course it does!" Sasuke watched as the two argued with each other, still in shock to the fact that his late cousin, the best friend Itachi claimed to have killed all these years, was alive and well.

Itachi said he got his Mangekyō from killing Shisui and because of it, Itachi had been dominating their fight. He might have escaped the tsukuyomi, but the Amaterasu, if Itachi hadn't, what he believes, assumed he was dead, he probably would be. But if Shisui's alive, then how did he get the Mangekyō?

It doesn't matter, he has it. And it doesn't matter if Shisui is alive. Sasuke concluded and narrowed his eyes at the two still arguing. Shisui being alive doesn't change the fact that our entire clan is gone. That Itachi killed our parents. And if Shisui is alive, he must have been apart of it.

"The person that helped me that night was Madara Uchiha." He lied, it had to be Shisui! He helped Itachi! He helped kill our clan! He helped destroy our family! I'll kill him, I'll kill them both! Sasuke seethed with rage, activating his curse seal in the process. I just need to destroy that thing they're in, but I'm out of chakra.

He howled as he felt the familiar agonizing sensation and grabbed his shoulder. "I can give it to you, I can lend you the power that you need." An intrusive voice echoed through his mind, Orochimaru.

"Damnit." Now that's he's out of chakra, he can't no longer suppress his former master.

"You need me, don't you dear Sasuke?" The legendary sannin mischievously cooed, Sasuke whimpering as he fell to his knees. "I thought you wanted to take revenge on Itachi for destroying your clan. And now you learn about his compliance, Shisui. He was more than capable of partaking in the gruesome massacre of your clan, your family. They both have betrayed you and they deserve to be punished. All you need to do is release me. Release me Sasuke Uchiha and you can fulfill your dream at last." I can't fight him...
