Sage Of The Heavenly Light: A Naruto Story

Chapter Ten: The Fall of The Uchiha

Uchiha Clan Compound

News of Tsunade and Jiraiya had spread across the village and most were happy to have them back, but The Uchiha were nervous and upset. Lord Fugaku was sitting in his office, the weight of the world on his shoulders, watching the recording that Itachi gave him for the fifth time, and he was getting more and more divided than ever.

He knew that his clan didn't have the best relationship with their co-founder of Konoha; The Senju Clan, but the revelation of the Uchiha clan's dark history had shaken him to his core. He had always believed in the clan's destiny, but now, he was questioning everything.

Fugaku: What else did they tell you; I can tell that the footage has been edited. What is missing?

Itachi: The two sons had reincarnations over the years. Naruto Uzumaki is the current avatar of Ashura and Indra's avatar is either Sasuke or Satsuki. And you know what they're going to do to them.

Fugaku: Yes, our clan will treat Indra's; well Madara's Avatar like a god while Naruto would be killed or forced to join us. While the latter is true for them.

Itachi: Yes. That is why I know that this uprising would not work; nor is it worth it. I beg you to stop this madness now.

Fugaku: I know that Itachi, your mother, and I are against the coup as well, but I am smart enough to know that if the clan wants something, they will get it one way or another. Speaking of which; how many people are against the coup now?

Silence

Fugaku: I see; no one wants to end it. It's just you, me, Mikoto, Shisui, and Izumi who are against it. You can stop if you want; I won't stop you. Got up, walked to the door, and paused. I am proud of you, Itachi; no matter what happens next, you must keep moving forward.

The room went silent as Fugaku left the room; leaving Itachi in tears as the mental image of him killing his parents with their backs turned to him and no desire to fight back entered his mind. He left his house as Shisui caught up with him and saw the look on his face.

Shisui: He knows?

Itachi: He knows and now no one wants to end the coup; we're on our own.

Shisui: Damnit. What now?

Itachi: Let's meet up with Lord Michaelis.

Shisui: Right.

?: You're not leaving without saying goodbye, are you?

They turned around and saw a young woman with long brown hair with bangs framing her face and onyx eyes, with a mole under her right eye. She wore a long-sleeved, high-collared purple shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back, baggy blue pants, a shuriken hostler on her right leg, a red armband on her left arm, and a long purple fingerless glove that ran nearly the length of her arm.

Itachi: Izumi.

Izumi: I heard that you have a problem with the clan and I want in.

Itachi: You don't have to do this; once you come with us, there's no going back.

Izumi: I am not going anywhere for two reasons: One, The Clan always saw me as an outsider because my father wasn't a Uchiha like them, and Two, I love you Itachi, and I want to have a life together.
