This is the story of the last three members of the Uchiha clan and their friends from other clans; eg. the Uzumaki clan.
Chapter 1 - Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha
From the time he was born, Itachi Uchiha was always the kind of guy who seemed to be dedicated to his work, studies and training. All of this showed when he graduated the academy, in the village of Konoha, at the age of 7 - only 2 years after the birth of his little brother, Sasuke. Even though he was busy preparing for exams that he would sit when he would be 10 years old, Itachi would always find time to occasionally play with Sasuke.
Itachi had impressively mastered the Sharingan - a power that only people from the Uchiha clan got - just a year after graduating the academy, that shows how much he concentrates on his training as well as everything else. This pleased his father, as Itachi was well praised by him, however, their father was spending all his time with Itachi and was clearly neglecting Sasuke. Itachi was determined to show his father how well Sasuke was, as he even tried getting him to attend Sasuke's enrollment ceremony into the academy. This however, would not be easy as at this time their father was busy on a mission, a mission that would hopefully guarantee Itachi a place in the ANBU ranks - which it did.
During his years in the ANBU - at almost 11 - he had been ordered to either kill his entire clan, or his little brother. At this point, nobody had heard - not even Sasuke and Itachi - that they would not be the only ones left in the clan. Itachi started to act strange from then on, however, he changed once again - back to his normal self, only for a while - when their mother told them that they would be having a little sister.
After hearing that, both brothers, were happy and spent sometime together that day - time they hadn't spent together in a long time - and went back to the old ways. Sasuke - studying at the academy - had met a few people who would later become friends, to a certain extent.

"Big brother, what is up with you?"
"What do you mean?" Itachi said, looking up at him - as Sasuke was getting a piggy back ride from him.
Sasuke sighed softly. "Big brother.. you've been acting strange recently. Although, when mom told us we'd be having a little sister you became your old self again." Sasuke was surprisingly observant of his brother's changes in personality. Itachi knew that well enough, but still he lied to protect his little brother.
"I've just been tired from my exams, that is all bro." He smiled softly, as he ruffled Sasuke's hair.
Sasuke smiled, only a little. "Alright then brother."
Not long after they had some time together, like they used to before Itachi was in the ANBU and everything started to change, they had a surprise that would hopefully make them happy again a few days later.
