ظل الوريث الأخير

In a silent night... darkness enveloped Konoha, not as usual, but like a black shroud that fell over the city without warning. The Uchiha massacre - a crime that shook the very foundations of the village, silencing tongues, and making minds fade behind mysterious orders from 'the shadow'. No one knew, nor was anyone supposed to know... that a small body had survived the bloodbath, a child with wounded eyes hiding beneath the rubble, carried away by the raindrops far from his destined fate. His name: Itsuki. The last Uchiha... but the world had forgotten him. He grew up in the embrace of concealment, amidst the moans of rain and the roar of silence. The survivors taught him how to hide, and his heart taught him how to hate. Years later, he returned to Konoha... not as a son of its people but as a 'shadow' walking through the streets, feeling the sound of truth among the lies. He does not seek revenge alone but aims to unveil the true face of the world... the world that led his family to death, Sasuke to loneliness, and Naruto to illusion. But... on his way to the truth, Itsuki will discover that darkness does not only reside outside... it may also dwell within him. In a world where villages and hearts clash... who will remain standing in the end? The heir... or the shadow?
