8 Side story# 1 Uchiha Itachi

Life is born and life dies...A clan grows...A village is born...and bonds are made...we formed a bond that's why that happened...we had a bond that's why he died to protect me...I didn't understand it back then...what real pain was. The feeling of not wanting to lose something precious. The day when I come to know what sadness is.

------Itachi Uchiha (Age 10)

Itachi was crying while holding Sasuke, he remembers it because of his Sharingan, he remembers every single bit of that day...

His best friend Mirei Namikaze left to become stronger 5 years ago...For 5 years he protected Naruto from the shadows while feeling the pain of losing the bonds

-------

Nearly a year since graduating, Itachi had mastered ninjutsu to the extent his missions went too easy, though Yuki Minazuki (His Sensei) didn't recommend him for the Chunin Exams. After turning eight, as Team 2's genin had distinguished themselves the most during the year, they were tasked with guarding the Fire Daimyo during his annual trip to Konoha. During the mission, the convoy was attacked by a masked individual, who killed their Sensei and Tenma Izumo (his team-mate) because he was protecting Itachi, resulting in Itachi awakening his Sharingan, at the same day he lost his other teammate who lost her will to become a shinobi because of this massacre, He mastered Sharingan at the same age. At age 10, Konoha officials allowed Itachi to compete in the Chūnin Exams by himself, which he passed and became a chūnin.

At Age 11 he and Izumi Uchiha visited the tea shop where she worked at and she waited on them. While she playfully teased Itachi about his girlfriend, she admitted she quit her shinobi job because not only was Tenma killed, but because Itachi was so much more skilled than her and even younger than her, making it seem redundant to be a shinobi when Itachi was one.

Thinking It was his fault he went further into depression

-------

At the age of 12 he waited for his best friend to come home...he, after all, promised that he will come back in 5 years, but he didn't even after 7 years has been gone by'

-------

At the same age of 12, Eventually, the Uchiha's disdain for their unfair treatment led them to plan a coup d'état. Fugaku, head of the Uchiha and the coup's chief conspirator, encouraged Itachi's advancement into the Anbu's ranks as a means of spying on the village. Itachi, however, knew an Uchiha coup would lead to intervention from other villages and ultimately start another World War, something he could not support. He instead became a double agent, reporting the Uchiha's actions to the Third Hokage and the Konoha Council in the hopes it would help them find a peaceful resolution.

-------

At the age of 13, he becomes an ANBU Black Ops and at the same year becomes the ANBU Captain

-------

Itachi shared the burden of betraying his clan with Shisui. But as time went on it became increasingly clear that peace could not be achieved. Shisui intended to use his Kotoamatsukami on the Uchiha's leaders to compel them to negotiate, But how could such a brilliant plan of Danzo who worked so hard to reach to this point be ruined by two brats, he whose hatred for Uchiha reached the heaven and hell, he whose plan cannot be thwarted by two brats

Such a brilliant power can only be in the safe hands of his, Danzo Shimura, he who greed for power, he who lost the motive of his actions, and he who stole the right of Shishui before he had a chance to Use Kotoamatsukami

Shisui entrusted his remaining eye to Itachi and begged him to protect the village and their family name before drowning himself, at that time he awakens his mangyoko Sharingan

-------

He waited for his best friend to come back so they together could do something about it, he waited and waited but Mirei Never comes back

It's been 8 years since he left...

-------

Although the Third Hokage still wished to negotiate with the Uchiha, Danzo Shimura convinced Hokage that this is no longer an outcome. He explained this to Itachi and left him a choice: support the Uchiha's coup and have the whole clan, including Sasuke, killed in the ensuing conflict, or accept the assignment to wipe out the clan before the coup started and be allowed to spare Sasuke. Itachi chose his brother.

At that time Itachi was just 13...

He killed his entire clan, well all but Izumi who somehow got protected by Hana Inuzuka who was doing the sleepover in Izumi house, he can not kill Hana, she was the Inuzuka Princess...She was their friend (Mirei and Itachi)

Itachi left the village, Izumi couldn't recover from the blood loss and went into an indefinite coma, and Sasuke turned Into an Avenger

-------

A week has been passed by' after that Incident

It was then, he returned
