The Story of an Unfortunate Uchiha

( Fuji Uchiha's POV )

*sigh* "Do I really have to circle around the Forest of Death? It is the Forest of Death! What idiot would want go there by their own will?" I exclaimed as I grieved over my dark past.

I Fuji Uchiha, was my cousin's Fugaku Uchiha's lone rival in the clan! We had the same talent, and both of us were praised by our clan since young. I was promoted to be a special Jonin when I was 20, and the Third Shinobi war started 7 years ago, when I was 23. Us the Uchiha participated in the Third Shinobi War and put our lives on the line for the sake of the village. I got injured amidst the war with Sunagakure, being poisoned with what is known as the Yin poison... To think that the entitled bitch Tsunade refused to see me after I begged her too many times with the excuse of "there are people who are in a more dire state than yours"; which made me suffer from the poison to the point of having my nerves damaged by it. My eyes could perceive what is happening, but my body is very slow to follow up with my eyes.

My injury wasn't the only thing that we suffered from. Despite offering our blood and sweat for the village, we got no recognition at all! Not only that! They even demoted me to a Chunin after my condition deteriorated...

Those snakes also refused to give credit to Fugaku despite him clearly being the one that served the village the most during the war. This village is really shameless! Just because we are Uchiha, it treats us like vermin while the people of this village take from us and give us nothing in return!

I keep remembering those sour memories, but I know it can't be helped; I am just too weak to change how the world works.

*Sigh* I sighed with grief and started doing my job, as a member of Konoha's Military Police Force. I don't want those snakes to gain anything from me to blackmail my clan!

I am in a really bad mood, ever since my wife and daughter both died in the Third Shinobi War I've been feeling lonely. No one cared about my trouble but my clan members.

I continued to remember the past as I was censoring the area to find if there was any intruder in the Forest of Death.

Just as I was regretting how things are going for me and for my clan, I could feel a Genin in the outer part of the Forest of Death. I proceed toward the Genin to see what is going on.

I can't be distracted, since a moment of carelessness may lead to death. This is the nature of the Shinobi World. You have to be cautious and careful while treating others, otherwise you might fall for their trap.

As I approached cautiously, I see a kid looking toward my direction. His eyes are gray, his hair is gray. I already have guessed his identity, he should be Voidne Yamanaka, the famous genius of the Yamanaka clan!

In just that moment, I started thinking of all the possibilities of why he is here. I tried to sense the surrounding area to see if someone is nearby, but it turns out that he is here alone. He was there standing in front of me, like a golden plate presenting itself for me.

Despite being only a year old, I am pretty sure a genius like him has some of the Yamanaka's secrets, which would be useful for my clan!

For just that moment, I thought about abducting him since no one is here, and no one will know anyway... But I retracted this idea instantly since I believe that kids are sinless in what is happening to our clan. It is not the kid's fault, so they shouldn't be killed for benefits.

I sighed and smiled at him and said "Are you los-" But I couldn't continue talking. I felt my body being invaded by a small amount of chakra. I quickly open my Sharingan and use my chakra to disable my nervous system so he can't control my body. All what I can think off right now is "Why? why did he attack me while I didn't provoke him?".

In less than a second, I felt a sharp pain in my guts. I looked at his now sleeping body... "It is Mind Body Technique! But that is wrong... He isn't trying to control my body! He is damaging it from inside!"

I figured out what he is doing, and rushed forward toward his now asleep body. I have to kill him, else he will melt my organs one by one and kill me.

I stopped thinking that moment, as the pain spiked, and I could feel my breathing becoming faster, and my heartbeats increasing. There is blood coming from my mouth, but I keep running toward him!

Just moments away from him, I feel the bones in my right hand melting! What a scary jutsu! It ruined my guts and disabled my right hand... And that is a Genin that is using it! What a freak! No wonder they call him a genius! I can't afford wasting any moment now!

I think about my options. my eyes scans my body and the surroundings. I have my Kunai Pocket on my right leg, so I can't reach it easily with my left hand... It won't be an efficient move. I look at his unconscious body laying on the ground, with a huge boulder just few meters behind him! I quickly make a plan to grab him and smash him head first against the boulder to kill him!

I grab his unconscious body as quick as I can, trying to execute my plan! I probably don't have much time left before my body would collapse! I know I can make it! Before I collapse, I can crush his head against the boulder! Just a little more is all I need.

I felt happy to be able to survive and got distracted. My eyes could see Voidne kicking my Kunai bag with his leg and grabbing a kunai, I could see it slowly and clearly, but my body refused to react. No matter how much I tried to let go of him or throw him against the boulder, my left hand won't react at all!

I could see him slowly swinging his Kunai toward my neck as I keep on running toward the boulder... The fractions of seconds it took him to slash my neck, felt like eternity for me. It was as if I was in a theater, I could only watch, but I can never react.
