The Light Of Konoha

Permanent Target

Sasuke's P.O.V

'Who is he?!
Who is this stranger who just waltzed in with this power?!

He is the same as me, alone, without a clan, yet he is so different.
How can he not be consumed by hatred?!
How is it that he is so carefree?'

Torturing myself with these questions, I continued to throw punches at the wooden training beam.
Splinters flew off with every punch but I never ceased until my knuckles bled...

...The large doors of the village library loomed over me as I stood before them.

'If I'm going to learn anything about the Furasshu clan, it's here...
Even though I've already looked before...'
A faint blush tinted my cheeks,
'Maybe there's more in the older sections of the library...'

I walked in apprehensively.
It was quiet, yet ninjas stood post in discreet areas.

After scanning the many scrolls, I barely found anything on the clan, just random facts I had already found about their hair and appearance.

Even after checking the dustier sections hidden in old alcoves at the very back,
I only learnt that their kekkei genkai involves light and that they thrived decades ago.

There was suspiciously very little about them.

I came across a forgotten door in the far corner of the library.

It was covered in dust and I only recognised it as a door because of the slight groove that ran unnaturally through the otherwise smooth wall.

'I doubt anyone has been near it for years.'

My eyes narrowed when I saw subtle finger prints left in the dust.

'Correction, someone had been here recently...'

Checking behind me cautiously, I entered when I sensed no one watching, carefully prising the door open with my fingertips as there was an absence of a handle of any kind.

It was a small concrete room full of boring, ancient looking scrolls,
but there was a large difference between these scrolls and the ones outside.

These had powerful looking seals...

'Someone wanted to keep something secret ...'

The dust had been smudged in several areas.

'And someone has definitely been searching...'

Then a single scroll caught my attention.
The seal had been broken and carefully placed back to try and look complete.

A poor attempt.

Curiosity getting the better of me, I grabbed it, looking at it in my hand.

My breathing hitched, 'Furasshu clan destruction.'

Shaking slightly, I read on...

'I had known the other nations had thought of the Furasshu clan as a threat, but never had I thought it would come to this...
Such destruction,
if only I could have been strong enough to stop it...

Let's start with why the Furasshu clan seem to have a target permanently painted on their back...

Other clan's may have power and fighting strength, but what the Furasshu clan have is so much more desirable.

Their unique chakra has a property that could be either a colossal threat or the ultimate weapon.

Their chakra has an ability never seen before:
the ability to break any seal.
