The Finding of Another Uchiha sneak peak

Chapter 1 the destruction of the Herb village

(There will be a really quick author's note down at the bottom

Itachi as well as four other Anbu black ops were sent off to investigate. The small village not far from the border of the country of fire. By the third Hokage, since he had been notified before of other small villages being under attack by numerous unknown assailants.

Once they had finally seen the utter and complete devastation of the Herb village. With all the dwellings being in all manners of destruction. From blown in walls to collapsing roof tops and then some. When they very slowly and cautiously moved further into the village. They were hit by the sudden stench of death and decay.

"Man this is completely awful I mean just look at all this destruction." One of the Anbu had pointed out with a slight motion of his gray gloved hand. Another simply nodded his head in agreement. "Yes and if..." "that's more than enough of that." Itachi more than interrupted him in almost annoyance. "You two go off in that direction and you two go in the other direction and look to see if you can find any possible survivors as well as any other information you can find!"

They just simply nodded their heads as they went off to their given directions. Itachi himself also started to have a look around. As he was walking he was paying close attention to the type of damage one of the small dwellings took. It's when he almost puts his foot down that he stops. Then takes a small step back that he took notice of the small child-like arm with a torn and singed sleeve.

He then goes and knelt down as he very closely examined the arm of the young child. Even though the sleeve was covered in soot from a fire he could tell that the original color of the clothing was white. Not only that but the bottom part of the sleeve was almost an arrow like design.

Was either the color of red or possibly blood. He just as well all but pushed that thought aside as he very carefully started to move the fallen debris aside from them. Once he finally uncovered the body of a young boy. That couldn't really be but ever so slightly older than his little brother Sasuke.

His eyes don't really particularly look at what he is wearing anything else. It's more of seeing if the boy had sustained any kinds of injuries. It's almost too hard to tell under all the filth. Although he takes a much more closer look. He can see the many different various wounds on his back as well as on his right arm.

"Someone really did a number to you didn't they?" he then sighs as he really hated seeing the poor child looking like this. Especially since he can just as well as easily picture it being Sasuke. He then all but pushed that from his mind as something that the boy was holding caught his attention.

"Wait, could that be?" He very carefully takes it from the boy's hand. "Hum this has been carved and" he takes a closer look,"it has some kind of lacquer or sealant on it." He also took notice that there isn't a nick nor a cut on it. "Hum either this is really high grade wood or you didn't get a chance to even use it against the one who attacked you." Itachi was just about to reach out and touch the boy's head but stopped himself. As he then thinks to himself now is not the time I need to see if the boy is somehow still alive.

He then puts away the boy's wood carved kunai into the pouch attached to the back of his pants. He then gets out a kunai of his own then very gently moves the boy's head to the side. He then is about to put the kunai in front of his face when. "Hey Itachi, what the hell are you doing over there!"

Itachi stopped what he was about to do and looked over to where the voice was coming from. His eyes instantly locked onto the white bird-like mask with blue markings. He then finds himself inwardly sighing. Just grate this is the absolutely last thing I really need right now a misinterpretation

"I'm just checking to see if he is still breathing or not" the other Anbu raised a brow under his bird mask,"I take it using your kunai to check if he is still breathing or not." Itachi just inwardly sighs he would have pinched at the corners of his eyes if it weren't for the fox mask that he wears. "Yes of course that is exactly what I'm doing" of course the other can very well tell the underlying tone of annoyance in Itachi's voice. Of course he doesn't really want to get on his not so good side right now especially since they still have a mission to do.

"Anyways, did you find anything that is useful in finding out who attacked the Village?" The other just shakes his head,"no unfortunately not yet I did however pull several bodies of older and younger villagers out for a completely clasped dwelling." Itachi can't really help but be troubled by this since who knows just how many more bodies they will actually find before the day is even over.

It then at that very moment came to him,"just how young were the bodies that you had to pull out?" The other was slightly taken aback by the tone of Itachi's voice. Although he very quickly regained his composure. "They were somewhere around older or younger teens."

Itachi ponders this new information, since it's only the bodies of teens that he pulled out. Although surely this boy wasn't the only child. He looked down at him and started to wonder, although he was taken out of his thoughts,"would you like to see the bodies for yourself?" Itachi all but shakes his head no,"there is no need but go and see if there are any children among them." The other just simply sighs and nods his head,"understood" with that he leaves.

Once the other is gone Itachi goes back to what he was doing before. When he sees that the blade of his kunai starts to mist over. He knows that the boy is still alive. He then puts his kunai away, then very carefully and gently he turns him over. From there he very gently picked him up into his arms.

As he is slowly getting back up something falls out of the boy's clothes and hits the ground. With a slight thump sound, he then looked down and saw a small wood carved ocarina. "Hum this looks like it's been carved out of the same exact wood as the kunai." He then very carefully bent down and picked it up as it joined the wooden kunai in his back pouch.

He then very carefully makes his way away from where he found the boy. Since right now his main goal is to get him back to the Hidden Leaf village as quickly as possible. One of the others sees that he is leaving so he calls out to him,”Itachi where are you going off to?”

Without even looking back he just simply says,”I'm taking a boy that I found back to the hidden Leaf village since he is still alive and needs medical attention.” The other really wanted to tell him that they needed Itachi to actually stay there, but he knew that the boy could possibly hold very valuable information as to what had happened to the Herb village.

“Okay then safe travel back to the village.” Itachi just smiled under his fox mask,”Thank you.” He then moved as quickly as he could but also made sure not to jostle the boy around. Especially since he doesn't really know the exact extent of his injuries.
