It was a normal day and as usual me and Sasuke were going to attend the academy. «Bye Okasan!» We both said and went outside. «Be careful» «Yeah, yeah we know.» it was annoying, she keeps reminding us this.

«See you later, Sasuke and Y/n» our older brother saluted us. «Can you pick us up today, Itachi-niisan?» «Unfortunately I can't, Sasuke. Maybe next time.» smiling, he poked our forehead. «Ouch!»

The day passed really quick, we did the same things as yesterday, nothing new. I was bored all the time, because I already knew everything: niisan taught me.

Furthermore, Sasuke's fangirls kept bothering me, asking me to talk about his life, his favourite colour, food, etc. Even Sakura and Ino were simping over him.

I wasn't like my brother, I didn't have any admirers, but oh well. It doesn't matter for me, better like this.

«Let's go now.» «Coming!»

Night had come, darkness was dominating the streets of Konoha. Blood everywhere. We were so confused and scared. What was happening?

"Okasan, Otosan and Niisan! I hope they're alright." I thought. Observing more carefully the bodies on the ground, we realized they were Uchiha's: our clan had been massacred, exterminated.

«Y/n, who do you think did this?» he asked. I looked at him and he seemed really mad, shocked and scared at the same time. Right then a figure appeared in front of us. It was Itachi-niisan.

«Niisan!» I called him. He had blood on his clothes and even on his face. His blades were also covered by red. Hold on- it can't be...

He is the killer.

«I don't believe it! This is so unusual to you niisan. I mean-» Sasuke said, with tears in eyes. «Both of you have the potential to become my opponents. You're be someone who could be able to use Mangekyo Sharingan, just like me.»

«Mangekyo Sharingan? What's that?» «You'll find out very soon, Y/n. However, on one condition: you must kill your closest friend, just like I did.»

«You killed Shisui!?» «That's right, Sasuke and because of that I obtained these eyes. You can have them, too. However, at present, you're not worth killing»

«B-but what if I don't want to kill?» «You're a shinobi, Y/n. Remember that, in our life killing is fundamental.» Then, Sasuke, who was looking straight into his eyes passed out leaving me and Itachi-niisan alone.

«Y/n, you're a really smart kid and I know you'll find out about the truth before Sasuke... What I'm asking you right now is to believe me, please.» «What do you mean?» «Just stare at my eyes and don't be afraid, watch from the start to the end.» I nodded and then it went black.

I woke up in a place I've never seen, the sky was red and there were black ravens everywhere. Ew, I hate birds.

No one was here, so I started to look around and found a house. It was ours. I entered and I heard Okasan's voice. She was calling me «Y/n, Y/n». Normal right?

She wasn't screaming, it sounded very calm. «Okasan?» Silence. I was walking in the corridor, searching in which room she was. I couldn't reach the end of the corridor. It seemed like there wasn't an end.

Tears were falling and rolling on my skin. I remembered Niisan's words "...don't be afraid and watch from the start to the end".

«Over here» it was Otosan's voice this time. I slowly opened the door and saw Itachi-niisan entering the room as well. «W-what are you doing?» I asked him, but I guess he couldn't hear me. «There are no traps, come inside.» He continued.

«Otosan...!» they were on their knees. «I don't want to participate in a death match with my son. Itachi, promise me this: take care of Sasuke and Y/n» I moved my gaze over him and noticed he was crying. «I will.»

«Our philosophies may differ, but I'm proud of you. You truly are a kind child.» It was after this phrase when he killed them, with his two swords.

I had no words.

Both of us started to cry.

Minutes passed and he left. We were now with the Hokage.

«Lord Third, will you swear to me that you'll protect my siblings?» «I won't be able to erase their hatred towards you, especially Sasuke's. I'm prepared to bear his hatred. Whenever you're worried about Sasuke or Y/n, you can sneak in.»

«It's too bad that the Uchiha clan didn't understand your compassion.» Niisan said. «That's not it, I was weak... That is what brought in this tragedy. If only I wasn't that weak, but there wasn't another way to resolve it.» «I know.» «Thank you for your service, Itachi.»

Then it went back to normal, I was again in the Uchiha's district with Sasuke near to me. The Third and some shinobis were here, too. They were investigating. «There are two survivors!» a girl reported and they brought us to the Medical Unit.

Was it necessary, niisan?

To be continued...
