Birth

It was a cold, rainy night. The sky was dark, stars hiding behind a dense ceiling of grey clouds, light barely emerging from the moon, which looked like it was gazing just slightly upon this world.

In Konoha, on the edge of the Village, in the deep forest, the ambience was just as dark. The forest was filled only with the sound of water dropping on the leaves. It was silent, cold and quite calming.

But, if one were to pay attention, they could hear another sound in said forest. The sound coming from the crying of a newborn.

A long distance away from the village, in the heart of the forest, lived a civilian couple in a small wooden house, the newborn baby being the product of their love.

The man was an orphan abandoned by his parents on birth. He had long, spiky black hair that ran down his back. If he had a more muscular body, people might even think he was Madara Uchiha with that hair! Unfortunately, since he was an orphan since birth, he had no family name, and his wife, who didn't have any eye-catching traits, was a civilian, not belonging to any shinobi clan.

In their house were now not two souls, but three, one of which just arrived on this world. The child was currently crying very loudly in his father's hands, who was quite confused about this. He was expecting the baby to calm down by now, but he didn't. That was when he realised it. The baby felt something in the room. Something unpleasant.

Looking behind, towards the bed were his wife gave birth, he now saw her dead body lying soulless, not responding to his screams. The man's eyes started spinning furiously, changing color to red and forming two tomoe. The pain he was in was visible on his face, even without the sight of his Sharingan activating!

For just a moment everything seemed to stop as he realised this sudden awakening in his eyes, but, before he could do anything, he saw, for just a second, a dim chakra heading towards him, only to be killed the same way as his wife in the next moment.

The assassin then revealed himself, the baby being the only person left alive in that house, and then took the child and brought him to the village, leaving him on the doorstep of a family with no children, in the Uchiha clan compound.
