I love this fic!

Young Sasuke Uchiha becomes a social justice warrior, this somehow leading to: his clan not being massacred and succeeding in their coup, the Hyuga branch family being freed and having their own coup, and Naruto gaining a supportive best friend and parental figure.

A Legacy could be a blessing or a curse when it came to the Uchiha.

The Uchiha greatly devoted themselves to love and friendship, however their affectionate traits are often be concealed to protect themselves from a curse that has been bestowed upon them since the times of the Sage of Six Paths. When the love an Uchiha holds for another is lost it can instantaneously turn into hatred, influencing them to do anything and everything in their power to achieve their goals, regardless of the consequences their actions.

The Uchiha try preventing the inevitable from happening, protecting their own from being lost in their Clans Cursed Legacy, but history tends to repeat itself. It also started with Indra Otsutsuki and will end with Sasuke Uchiha.

Konoha was not typically a cold place.  The weather almost always bright and warm, however the cool autumn breeze sent chills down his spine.  It was a peaceful October evening, but Itachi could not help but sense an ominous stench in the air.  Something had shifted in the atmosphere.

The young Uchiha heir looked up at the moon, as it cast a silver glow on his face.   The cool breeze tussled his long black hair, as he gazed at the endless sky at the cascade of twinkling lights.  His stargazing was shattered from a movement in his arms, Itachi’s little brother, Sasuke started to fuss.  Sasuke rarely fussed when Itachi held him. His brother always seemed to be at ease around him. He wondered if his chakra signature brought him warmth and comfort. Others were not so lucky when it came to Sasuke, he would throw a tantrum when another clan member besides his immediate family or Shishu held him.

“There, there Sasuke, don’t cry.”

Itachi tried to console Sasuke but was finding it difficult.  He would not stop crying.

Did Sasuke sense this ominous feeling.  

“No matter what happens Sasuke, your big brother will definitely protect you…”

Sasuke continued to wale. His parents were currently attending a clan meeting and he knew it would not be wise to disturb them unless it was dire. Itachi rose from the engawa, headed inside, the ominous feeling he sensed earlier did not falter. He could not shake it off.  A sudden roar broke the silence of the once quiet evening.

Itachi exited his home in the center of the Uchiha Compound. His onyx eyes widened.  He saw nothing but destruction. The voices and panic of his clansmen in the streets of the clans’ compound, debris and bodies were flying everywhere. He wondered what could cause such destruction and carnage.  It has not even been a year since the third shinobi war has ended.  The Five Great Shinobi Nations would not dare to start a war so soon. Not when they were trying to recover from the last.  It was something else.  Something sinister that caused the ominous feeling Itachi had felt earlier.

Whats going on?

Just run, you idiot!

The demon fox is loose.

Itachi hurried through the streets of the Uchiha compound, in search of his parents or a high-ranking member of the Konoha Military Police Force. They would know what to do.  Itachi knew something terrible must have happened if the Nine-Tails escaped its host.  Something must have happened to the Hokage's wife.  Itachi knew he was not supposed to know, but it was not difficult to figure out, that the Hokage's wife, Kushina was the host, the jinchuriki of Konoha. He has heard whispers through the village. Itachi knew it was why the woman was not well-liked by some.  People saw her as a ticking time bomb.  It did not help that Kushina had a fiery personality, but people knew it was not wise to speak ill of the Hokage's wife. Minato was a kind person, but the village elders would not allow the villagers to speak ill of the village weapon.  People would be punished.

He wondered if his mother knew what has happened.  Itachi has met Kushina a few times when he was on outings with his mother to visit their father at the Konoha Police Headquarters to bring him a bento. They were best friends and Kushina wanted her son to be friends with Sasuke when he was born.  He knew that might never happened; people were going to die tonight. He knew Kushina was going to be one of the many dead.  Itachi knew his family was going to be blamed.  Some in the clan can control the Nine-Tails. Itachi knew of an animosity towards the Uchiha.  A fraction of the village who followed Danzo’s philosophy wanted to rid the Uchiha Clan.  Itachi has not had to change to ask his father about Danzo’s hostility towards them, but he hopes to find out soon.

Sasuke cries grew louder and louder as each moment past.  Itachi could sense he was terrified, his chakra radiated fear.  He looked down at his brother, trying to console him.  He tried to ease his fear but continued to fail.

“Sasuke, it’s okay. You just got a little scared, huh?”

Itachi continued to run through the streets, dodging debris from buildings with ease.  He needed to either find his parents or make his way to the shelter behind the Hokage monument.

Mom! Dad!

Itachi recognizes that voice.  It was a girl in his academy class, a girl who was an Uchiha, but lived outside of the district due to some clan elders not being fond of her mother marrying someone who was not worthy of the clan.  Her father was a civilian born ninja with no linage, no special skill. It was a shame that some on his clan were not always kind, Itachi hoped such distain for those who did not meet the clan standards would change in the future. The Uchiha were too prideful at times, but he would have thought the clan would embrace love its members have. However, the love the Uchiha have could be a blessing or a curse. Their curse has followed them throughout history.  It has been around since the creations of the ninja world, from the time of the Sage of Six Paths.  It was a never-ending cycle in their clan’s dark history.

Itachi’s attention returned to Izumi.  She was still of his clan, but a very distant cousin.  The Uchiha were protective of their kin. It should not matter who her mother married.  Once things calmed down, he was going to speak to his father about this matter. Things needed to change for them to evolve. Having such high standards when marrying outside of the clan is going to do more harm than good. The Uchiha married for love, and nothing should come between that love. It should not matter how strong or powerful their loved one is.

“Itachi-kun”

“Hurry!”

Itachi held out his hand, hoping she would take it. He pulled her close just as the building next to them exploded. Itachi hurried through the streets of the civilian district of Konoha. He knew they needed to be evacuated to the shelter inside of the Hokage monument.

“We’re going to the shelter.”

Itachi kept his arm firmly grip around Izumi's shoulder. He felt her shaking under his grasp.  That is when he spotted him. His father and other members of the police force directing civilians to safety.

“Keep going.”

“Itachi-kun”

“Everyone will be there. I will join you soon Izumi, go, where it is safe.”

Itachi made his way over to his father. He needed to let him know that they were okay.  That no harm came to him and Sasuke.

“Father!”

“I knew you would be alright.” Fugaku placed a hand on Itachi’s shoulder and looked down at Sasuke's tear-stained face.   “I want you to go where it is safe.  We will come find you when the emergency order has been lifted.”

“Yes, father.” Itachi followed an older member of the police force towards the shelter.  He looked back at his father once more and hope things would be alright.  

“Just about everyone has been evacuated, sir.”

"What are our orders?"

“The police force will break up into teams. Half will remain and protect civilians while the other half will assist me in helping the Hokage with the Nine-tails.” Fugaku knew he was going against village orders, but he had to do something.  He could not just sit there and let the village his family help founded be destroy.

“Yes Sir!”

Fugaku watched his clansmen disperse. He looked out at the destroyed village and knew things were going to change for the Uchiha.  He knew they would need to tread lightly.  Fugaku sighed deeply and flash stepped, making his way towards where he last felt Minato and Kushina’s chakra, it was fading, fading fast.  He knew then it was not going to make it in time, to save his friend.

[Image Description: a digital drawing depicting an Alternate Multiverse which is a Canon Divergence from 'Naruto' (1999) manga series & novel series. All 8 humans' skin is somewhere between peachy and pale.

Uchiha Fugaku is standing near the left edge of the drawing. He has chin-length hair with a shorter fringe and holds in his right hand a medium brown suitcase. Fugaku is wearing a forest green dinner suit, as if he's about to go work in an office.

Near him is Uchiha Shisui who is sitting next to Uchiha Itachi at a dining table made from very light wood. Their backs are to the Viewer. Shisui has short-cropped hair that's spiky with slight curls whereas Itachi has his straight hair tied down into a ponytail that reaches his covered shoulder-blades.

Opposite of Itachi sits Uchiha Sasuke, who has turned his upper body so he can look at Haruno Sakura while blushing. Sakura stands a few feet behind Sasuke, her left hand holding a framed photograph she's looking at. Her straight, light pink hair reaches past her shoulders. Sakura is near the right edge of the drawing.

Next to Sasuke sits golden blonde Uzumaki Naruto, whose eyes are closed in irritation (presumably at something Shisui said). Next to Naruto stands Uchiha Mikoto, who has straight hair which contrasts with Naruto's short-cropped spikes.

Next to Mikoto stands brunette Uchiha Izumi, who is holding a conversation with the older Uchiha. Izumi has shoulder-length straight hair. Except for Izumi, all of the Uchiha in this drawing are ravenettes.]

uchiha family

[moon-trees]

kinda funny how fugaku calls itachi a kind child, and then 5 minutes later, itachi tortures his 7 year old brother.

fugaku: itachi, you truly are a kind child. take care of sasuke...

itachi: don't worry father, i will.

also itachi: tortures sasuke twice, manipulates and abandons him, and literally ruins his life.

fugaku, mikoto, and the entire uchiha clan:

[moldy-flowers]

I've been thinking about Sasuke's trauma a bit today to try and convey him better in my writing. And I had an epiphany of sorts that may help others too, not just for Sasuke but other characters aswell.

Every corpse has an insanely strong smell. Scientists think its a defense mechanism so other humans can recognise danger near by. Because the smell of rotting Is said to be unlike like any other scent. Under the main scent of regular rotting you'd get, is described to be this powerful, sickeningly sweet smell.

Every corpse will smell different depending on their genetic makeup. Some will have a fruity smell, some sugary, it's all pungent and absolutely vile.

The smell is stronger than anything you'll ever smell, it clings to your clothes, it goes through the walls and it doesn't leave easily.

Sasuke would routinely visit the Uchiha district, and sit right in front of where his parents were murdered. That smell must have been everywhere. When he walked through the district, his own home, his clothes and himself. It all would have radiated death.

Even after the district would have been wiped clean. The smell would still be there, and it would be overwhelming. When Sasuke finally stopped visiting his old home, the smell would have already seeped through his clothes, and been all around his new home.

He went to school during that time too. Do you think his classmates didn't notice that putrid smell? And do you think every single one of them knew what death smelled like- and would they have been respectful enough to leave him be?

And imagine, when he became a ninja, him having to face that scent again. Plus- would he ever have been able to forget it? A scent so strong you can taste it, it makes your eyes water. Not only the image of his brother slicing his parents up would have been on his nightmares, but that horrific scent would have infected his nostrils aswell.

Just something to think about.

Top 5 fucked up things that happend in Naruto?

This lived in my drafts for quite a while as I went back and forth with just a top five. I don't think this is in any particular order, because good god these people have suffered. Also, please note that I haven't read or watched Boruto and know nothing about it, so whatever atrocities occur there are mysteries to me.

That time Rin committed suicide by jumping into Kakashi's Chidori, then everyone started calling him Friend Killer Kakashi and even he believes he murdered his teammate in cold blood for the good of the village.

When Minato decided to make his minutes-old son the Kyuubi container and then swiftly leave him as an orphan, and Hiruzen thought the best thing to do would be to let the village terrorize him and leave him without the protection of his powerful, beloved parents' legacies.

Nagato going off the deep end after Yahiko got murdered and deciding to use his dead bestie's body as one of his paths, forcing Konan (who may or may not have been romantically linked with Yahiko, but at the very least was another childhood best friend) to interact with his corpse for years to come as Nagato's real body rotted in the basement.

Orochimaru's whole child experimentation/abduction/murder/body snatching extravaganza is just...horrific. He truly is a plague upon the elemental nations, and I believe if Tobirama were Hokage when Orochimaru started to get weird, he would have been put down like a mad dog. Maybe Minato would have tried to do it had he lived long enough, too.

You can't have a list of fucked up Naruto things without mentioning the obvious Uchiha massacre. Village-sanctioned genocide perpetuated by a 13-year-old family member and his insane cousin masquerading as their equally-insane ancestor is some dark shit, and that's not even getting to the other related factors (re: eyeball snatching, the Sasuke of it all, Divine Intervention via moon goddess planting the seeds of it happening at all).

[adhdnojutsu]

I tried.

Ko-fi?

[malifiquemakes]

You can't go home anymore.

For @obito-week, (the end of) clan customs; tragedy.

[princeofuchiha]

Sasuke may not show a shred of respect for his teachers but he'll be DAMNED if he's going to be rude to Nekobaa and I love that for him sm.

I need more of her. I forget she exists periodically but it's always a surge of joy when I do.

She's grumpy and she loves both her grandkids your honor <3

[watermelonsloth]

Something that keeps me up at night is that we technically don’t know for certain what happened during the Uchiha Massacre. No one who’s talked about it is a reliable source.

Obito wanted Sasuke to join the Akatsuki and not go back to Konoha, so he had reason to lie.

Danzo saw Sasuke as a threat to Konoha and wouldn’t have shared village secrets with him, so he had reason to lie.

Itachi was already planning to use a genjutsu to make Sasuke fight for Konoha and probably would’ve been able to create false memories via genjutsu, so he had both reason and ability to lie.

Hiruzen knew that what he said would likely decide whether he would fight alongside or be used as a weapon against Konoha and he obviously wouldn’t want to be forced to turn against his own village, so he had reason to lie.

Orochimaru wasn’t there and we have no reason to believe that he knew what really happened, so he’s unreliable.

Even Sasuke’s own memory is established as being unreliable because he blocked out parts of what happened due to the trauma (and he could’ve created false memories in his attempts to rationalize the event later in life).

This time, don't leave me again#anime #naruto #sasuke #itachi

This time, don't leave me again

[decaffeinatedcupcakekid]

In all honesty, I don’t think Danzo expected Itachi to massacre the Uchiha. At least not as many Uchiha as he did. He didn’t really want a massacre, he wanted a cull.

Picture this, a thirteen year old boy awoke his mangekyo after you helped kill his best friend. The child is confused, angry, and maybe even a little resentful. You have a civil war on your hands that you helped create and the kid is loyal enough to help you out by killing his family for the village, at least right now while he’s in a vulnerable position.

You allow him to keep his younger brother alive. Which works out for you anyway. Itachi will die trying to kill an Uchiha that’s a tad too strong for him, even with the help of his mangekyo. He’ll burn out, maybe before or maybe after killing his parents. It doesn’t matter, the spare heir is still alive and you can use him as a puppet like you did his older brother.

Some Uchiha will be alive. And that’s fine, you predicted that. Except now their numbers are too small to do anything now. Heck, if Itachi got away, they probably would focus on revenge against him instead, maybe even forgetting the coup altogether.

And maybe you’ll help them out. Gain their favour so that when you become Hokage, you’ll have more allies.

The boy won’t be able to win anyway. Not against his entire family, who are mixed up in war veterans and perhaps even other mangekyo users.

Except Itachi does succeed.

A child, who was strong enough to annihilate one of the four noble clans of Konoha, is now on the run. His only tether to the land of the sane is his younger brother, who you wanted to use as a puppet.

You don’t kill him. That boy is what is keeping you safe. And you’re scared. Scared of Itachi and what he’ll do to you when Sasuke dies.

And he’ll be there, watching from the sidelines. You both know that the moment it’s safe, he’ll come for you.

Itachi Uchiha succeeded in what should have been an impossible mission, and Danzo never knew that it was Obito that helped him achieve that. Out of all the things Itachi should’ve done, fulfilling his mission should’ve never been one of them

The massacre was completed when what should’ve happened was a cull and I stand by that.

[sinnbaddie]

One thing that really irks me about Kakashi and Sasuke’s relationship that @depressedhatakekakashi brought up is that a lot of fans I’ve seen will try to paint blame on Kakashi for any shortcomings he may have had with him but will never and I mean never acknowledge Itachi’s - and Obito - horrible actions he made against Sasuke.

Itachi manipulated, traumatized and broke an 8 year old boy because he was too cowardly to go against the system. Obito took everything away from Sasuke and made sure he was always on the verge of a breakdown because he was easier to control. Both of them ruined his life in ways we can’t even begin to understand. Intention does not take away from the consequences of their actions. Itachi and Obito were the cause of Sasuke’s suffering and you want me to believe Kakashi is worse than them?

Was Kakashi the best teacher? No, he had his problems and some of them were the issue of the author, but when he did try with Sasuke and he met Kakashi halfway there things went smoothly.

Was Kakashi even the best person? No, his words for example to Sasuke about his clan was inconsiderate and downright offensive but to put him on an equal and even greater level to what both Itachi and Obito did is absurd.

Sasuke and Kakashi’s relationship issue is that they both went through incredibly traumatic things as children but came out of it with differing perspectives of the world.

Sasuke’s anger and frustration was easier to pin on a single person because he was led to believe a single person was the cause of all his tragedy. Revenge in his mind was the only thing to keep him alive, it was genuinely the only thing he had left. Kakashi never had a single person to blame everything on. His tragedies were mostly caused by a general tragedy instead of a personal one.

Their relationship is supposed to have conflict because of their similar upbringing’s and differing beliefs. Sasuke said that he’d lose himself to revenge just to reach that goal and Kakashi didn’t want him to do that for the end product. The problem people need to have is that Kishimoto didn’t flesh their relationship out enough to where they understand each other. It wasn’t the revenge itself he had an issue with but the revenge consuming him and that’s the conflict between the two because that’s what Sasuke didn’t care for.

I feel I yapped enough but Sasuke and Kakashi’s relationship really is great - and could’ve been even greater. Kakashi isn’t the villain in Sasuke’s story and y’all know that. They are parallels to each other and are different outcomes of similar situations.
