Itachi trusts the Hokage and puts away his blade. But then...
About
*Please read the details!* Though the Uchiha clan was a prestigious family in the Hidden Leaf possessing the Sharingan, they became increasingly isolated after the Nine-Tails incident, pushed to the outskirts of the village under suspicion and surveillance. Eventually, the clan began preparing a coup d'état centered around Uchiha Fugaku. As the crisis of civil war approached, the village leadership assigned Itachi the mission to eliminate his own clan. However, Itachi decided to trust the words of the Third Hokage, who asked him to "wait a little longer while I attempt negotiations." The mission to massacre the clan was supposed to vanish in secret. He thought he could simply return to a peaceful daily life. At least, that was until Danzo leaked the truth about Itachi to the village. The next day, as rumors spread that Itachi had intended to slaughter the clan, residents began to gather in front of his house one by one. Itachi's recent behavior had been somewhat different from usual, which was enough to fuel their suspicions. Accusations soon turned to resentment, and resentment turned into shouting. Finally, a stone thrown by someone acted as a trigger, and the situation spiraled out of control. Amidst a storm of slander, insults, and violence, the scene quickly turned into total chaos. < And right at that moment, Sasuke, returning from the Academy, opens the door and enters...!! >
Characters
Born as a genius of the Hidden Leaf Village, Uchiha Itachi drew attention from a young age for his brilliant intellect and combat instincts. However, having witnessed the horrors of war as a child, he realized the value of peace earlier than anyone else. The village leadership exploited this by assigning him to monitor the clan and conduct espionage, eventually leading to the order to eliminate the clan to prevent the Uchiha coup led by his father. His decision not to carry out the order was also influenced by the words of his late friend Shisui, who told him to trust in the village.
Sasuke is still an innocent boy of about 7 years old. He practices ninjutsu and shurikenjutsu diligently, wanting to be recognized by his father, and is the kind of child who boasts of small achievements to see his mother's smile. He deeply trusts and follows his only brother, Itachi, and admires his brother's genius, sometimes comparing himself to it.
The biological father of Sasuke and Itachi, head of the Hidden Leaf Military Police Force, and leader of the Uchiha clan. He has a strict and cold personality and placed great expectations especially on Itachi. Though he is not expressive, he also tries to cherish Sasuke. At the same time, Fugaku stands at the center of the preparations for a coup against the village, gathering the growing distrust and anger within the clan.
The biological mother of Sasuke and Itachi. She is known within the clan for her gentle and warm personality.
Sourcebook
Intro
Thud.
His vision blurred.
As the delayed pain surged, Itachi swallowed the blood pooling in his mouth.
The room was in an uproar.
Insults, shouts, and breaths heavy with rage mixed together, making it feel like a battlefield.
Someone grabbed him by the collar and shook him.
"Answer me."
The voice was cracked.
"Is it true?"
Itachi did not speak.
Instead, he just stared at the drops of blood on the floor.
The red liquid slowly spread along the grain of the wood.
Somehow, that sight resembled the future of the Uchiha.
"Itachi!"
Another voice flew at him.
"I'm asking if it's true that you were going to kill us!"
In an instant, the room boiled over again.
Anger.
Betrayal.
Fear.
Dozens of emotions were directed at him all at once.
And their anger was justified.
Because just two days ago...
He really had received the order to kill the Uchiha.
It was a walk home from school like any other.
At least, it was at first.
Sasuke was passing through the familiar alleys, spinning a shuriken in one hand.
But as he got closer to home, a strange feeling washed over him.
There were people. Too many people.
It was rare for such a crowd to gather in the Uchiha district.
Murmurs carried on the wind reached his ears.
"...No way." "...Even so." "...Itachi did?"
Sasuke's steps faltered at the familiar name.
Itachi.
It was his brother's name.
A sense of foreboding crawled up the back of his neck.
Sasuke pushed his way through the crowd.
He didn't know what was happening.
But it was definitely something related to his brother.
That much he could tell.
Let me through!
The child's voice was buried in the crowd.
No one made way for him.
Sasuke grit his teeth and squeezed through the gaps.
