[ Uzumaki-Namikaze Estate ]

Naruto was not having a fun night. He had thought that is he went 'home' to the birthday celebration at the Uzumaki-Namikaze Estate then he might fins some answers as to why Mikoto had been so depressed that afternoon. He had seen her at the party, but she was acting pretty much the same, so he decided to put it out of his mind at the time. He had left when it was time for his siblings to open their presents and the first one they received was the toad contract from Jiraiya and he told them about some prophecy. Naruto for one never believed in prophecies, but he was a little upset that they received yet another summoning contract only a few months into the academy while he got nothing, he should have expected that.

It was right after he left the estate that a crow landed on his shoulder and handed him a scroll. Crows were Shisui's summons and he never used them unless it was an emergency, so Naruto quickly unrolled the scroll. It read:

Dear Naruto,

Meet me at the cliff overlooking the Naka River, just outside of the clearing where we met for the first time. Come as quick as possible, there are things you need to know as well as one final gift from me. Come as quickly as possible, I don't have much time to speak to you. Make sure you aren't followed."

-Shisui

"What could all of that mean? Might as well hurry, I don't have anything else to do." He quickly rushed towards there desired meeting spot, wanting to get their as fast as possible.

....

Cliffside - 5 Minutes Later

Naruto finally arrived at the specified location, making sure he wasn't followed. He saw Shisui standing near the edge of the cliff facing the river waiting for him. Naruto approached quietly, wondering what it was that was so important that he was called all the way to the outskirts of the village.

"Naruto...it's good to see you...I'm glad you could make it here quick enough" Shisui commented as he slowly turned around.

"Sensei what was it that was so import-"

He stopped his line of thought when he saw Shisui's battered form. There was a large gash over his right eye and was releasing a large amount of blood from it. There were cuts and bruises all over his body. He was coughing up large amounts of blood, but the worst was his arm. His left arm was completely severed from his body and he was bleeding profusely from the stump.

"S-sensei what happened to you! Who did this to you! We need to get you to a hospital right now."

"No, it's too late for the hospital. One of my lungs is already collapsed and the other one is filling up as we speak. So please just listen to me. You need to know the truth about everything."

Naruto just stood there, tears threatening to spill, as his sensei bled out in front of him.

"The Uchiha Clan was planning a coup d'etat...over the years they had lost much of their power, both politically and influentially. The main cause of this was they were blamed for the Kyuubi attack on the village twelve years ago."

"What why Minato said that it was a natural disaster, an accident from childbirth!" Naruto argued.

"Yes it was but that isn't the whole truth...there were witnesses who clim to have seen the sharingan in the Kyuubi's eyes. The village believed that sometime after it escaped it was used by the Uchiha to attack the village as revenge for the way they had been treated over the years, living under the ideals of the Senju. The only sharingan jutsu strong enough to control a bijuu is the Kotoamasukami...and that particular ability has only been know to two people with the mangekyo sharingan...Uchiha Madara...and me."

At that last sentence Naruto gasped.

"I can tell you that is wasn't me...I personally believe that the Kyuubi was never taken out of the control of Madara and has remained in affect after all of this time...the Kotoamatsukami is the most powerful genjutsu to ever exist...if it were to fall into the wrong hands it could spell the world as we know it...Naruto...once I die tonight people will try to steal my remaining eye for themselves...Naruto I want you to have it."

Naruto could only remain speechless, "What?"

"Naruto you're my only student as well as one of my best friends...please take my eye and help to carry on my will...this shall be my final gift to you...think of it as a birthday present." Shisui said all the while smiling.

Naruto could only nod. Shisui made a Kage Bunshin and reached into his right eye socket and pulled the sharingan out. The Kage Bunshin took it and removed the eye patch from Naruto's right eye. He began to implant the eye with his limited knowledge of medical ninjutsu. After the operation was finished, the Kage Bunshin put the eye patch back on Naruto and poofed out of existence.

Shisui stood before him with both of his bleeding eye sockets closed.

"Now then for the rest of my tale...Itachi and I were were working as spies for the Hokage because both of us knew that a civil war within Konoha would have sparked the fourth great shinobi war when other villages would have tried to invade when we would be weakest."

'Father was the cause of all of this?'

"The coup was going to happen tomorrow and it needed to be stopped one way or another. It was decided that I would control Fugaku using the Kotoamatsukami but I never got the chance too. One of the elders, Shimura Danzo stood in my way. He had some sick sense of loyalty to Konoha and planned to steal my eyes and then the rest of the Uchiha when they were dealt with. I managed to defeat and seal him away, so you don't have to worry about him."

"*cough* *cough* *cough*"

He spat out an enormous amount of blood and smiled sadly.

"It seems that my time is running shorter than I thought...I'm sorry that I can't tell you the rest of this directly, but this should be good enough. Memory Transference Jutsu" with those words he touched Naruto's forehead and memories from awakening the sharingan to the secrets of the mangekyo to the meeting with the yondaime and the elders to Shisui's final battle with ROOT and Danzo flooded Naruto's mind.

"Thank you...for being...my student...Naruto" with those final words the life faded from Shisui's voice and his body fell into Naruto's arms.
