Sitting in the rain with only a small umbrella for shelter. I don't care that I am drenched nor trembling from the cold.
All I can think I can think about are their faces. The blood scattered on the walls and the streets, kunai lodged in walls and bodies strewn out everywhere. My Kaa-san and Tou-san just lifeless vessels on top of each other. And above them partly concealed by the shadows was... He stared at me with those glowing red eyes display the Sharingan but with a different pattern.
When I attempt an escape he is there before me. He stares me in the eye and catches me in a strong genjutsu, draining me more than any other one I have been in. The slaughtering of each Uchiha replays around me. My idol ending their lives with his hands.
Once I am released of that genjutsu, I fall to my knees, weakened completely, mentally and physically. I stare at my beloved. "Why...?" My heart dropping deeper in response to his reply. "To test my skills. Nurture your hatred for me brother, and fight me once you possess the same eyes as I do."
Throwing a kunai at him with my last ounce of strength just as I had been practising before this...crisis... He catches it effortlessly with his fingers. I fall forward and fight to stay awake. His headband falls off making him pick it up and re-tie it over his bangs. He looks back at me one last time before he leaves but this time, with tears in his eyes.
Lighting strikes, causing me to jump from my thoughts and look up at the sky.
"Nii-san..."
