Shinobi's Percipience

Almost 30 years after the end of the war, Sasuke discovers that a clone was made of his brother. He doesn't handle it well. Especially when other clones begin to surface, and all signs point to an old foe being responsible. A mystery. The following story contains both original characters and settings, but is largely set within the confines of canon. It takes place place in an alternate future, 27 years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. The point of divergence in the timeline is Sasuke and Itachi's battle against Kabuto, and Itachi's subsequent release; all events after that battle do not factor into this future, including Orochimaru's resurrection and the further involvement of past Hokages. For all intents and purposes, any individuals revived by Kabuto's Impure World Resurrection during the war have since been put to rest, with Kabuto himself and the individual known as Tobi being similarly dealt with. This fic is rated T for occasional language, and non-explicit violence and sexual content. Further chapters feature depictions of emotional and domestic abuse.
