On a desolate hillside, the night claimed the sky, yet the moon shone brightly, illuminating the place. In its pale light, three figures could be seen—two standing together, staring with serious expressions at a lone figure who stood atop a rock, his crimson eyes glowing with three spinning tomoe.
These two were none other than Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, both seventeen years old, while standing before them was a survivor of the Uchiha massacre… Yami Uchiha… the worst thing that could have happened to the world, the current cancer of this era. Even if you want to forget him, you can't… you will always remember his story.
"Hehehehe… the two lovers united. I thought you would've killed each other by now, you know?"
Yami mocked them, his Akatsuki cloak fluttering in the wind as he looked down at the two shinobi before him.
The tense silence lingered until he broke it.
Yami: Why? — he asked softly, staring at Naruto and Sasuke, who watched him without lowering their guard or answering.
Yami continued.
Yami: Why are you trying to stop me? Why do you fight me? Why do you interfere? I don't interfere in your little brotherly romance, so why do you feel the need to meddle? WHY?! — he roared the last word as his Sharingan spun violently.
"WHY DO YOU INTERFERE?!"
"WHY DO YOU SAVE THEM?! HUH?!"
"Some kind of hero complex… You suffered, you lost loved ones… you didn't fall into darkness, but that gives you the damn right to tell others they can't hold onto hatred?! To be some holy beings of light like you?!"
Yami roared until his vocal cords burst, only to regenerate instantly as blood dripped from his lips.
"WHAT GIVES YOU THAT DAMN RIGHT?! I don't care if the Jinchūriki is Konoha's bitch and the other is Itachi's whore… I don't care about your pain, but you always… ALWAYS… ALWAYS get in my way…"
His Sharingan burned a deep crimson as it morphed into a star-shaped pattern similar to Sasuke's—his Mangekyō Sharingan had awakened.
Tears of blood rolled down Yami's cheeks as his Mangekyō spun faster and faster, tightening with each rotation.
Naruto and Sasuke remained silent, though their chakra began to rise around them.
Kurama narrowed his eyes from within Naruto.
Yami: She was a girl… a beautiful baby. I made a mistake as a child… having a daughter at ten years old… — his voice abruptly shifted, calmer, softer.
A strange sense of unease crept into Naruto and Sasuke at the sudden change.
Yami: We were returning from the hospital… I… I was carrying her in my arms… his gaze turned distant …my mother scolded me, my sister wanted to hold her, my father sighed at the idea of having to support a baby and a girl because of his foolish son who believed the rumor—if I'm old enough to kill, I'm old enough to have sex. He smiled faintly. It was late, but our house was still lively in the middle of the night…
Sasuke clenched his fists, lips tightening.
Yami: She smiled at me… her little toothless grin… until someone broke in.
Naruto and Sasuke grimaced, even Kurama…
Itachi. — he said calmly, before his expression twisted.
"HE… KILLED MY SISTER… MY GIRLFRIEND AND MY PARENTS… HE STABBED ME IN THE ABDOMEN AND PIERCED MY DAUGHTER—TWO DAYS OLD—WITH HIS SWORD! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HATE YOU, SASUKE, FOR YOUR DAMN FAMILY?! I LOST MY CHILD BEFORE MY EYES BECAUSE OF YOUR BROTHER'S STUPID HOKAGE MINDSET! HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO GET OVER IT?! AM I THE VILLAIN FOR NOT LETTING IT GO?! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WATCH YOUR CHILD DIE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, HUH?!"
Yami exploded with rage, then suddenly calmed again, making the moment even more disturbing.
Yami: But… I let you live. I wanted Itachi to suffer. Izumi survived too… he chuckled …I spread the rumor so Konoha wouldn't wipe her out completely. He knew… he visited her and left his crows—his summons. Haha… his precious woman survived, but my daughter didn't… Konoha accepted her, two survivors, but I couldn't accept it… so I went back and raped her repeatedly, erased her memory, and waited nine months… — he said with a deranged smile.
Sasuke grit his teeth hard.
Yami: YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT! And when she gave birth to my son… I killed him in front of that crow and Izumi's horrified screams… I made her remember… abused her a little more… then ripped out her heart and took a bite out of it in front of the crow. — he revealed, smiling.
Sasuke: You're sick… — he said in disgust. Even though that child was technically his clan's, Yami had killed it.
Yami ignored him.
Yami: I didn't see Itachi's expression, but I can imagine it. Hehehehahaha… GOD… I CAME RIGHT THERE IN THAT SAME PLACE. I FELT ECSTATIC. HIS HOPE FOR KONOHA TO FORGIVE IZUMI… GONE. HAHAHAHA. Your brother? Sterile. Yes, I was the one who treated you after Itachi's Tsukuyomi… if you can get it up, it's a miracle! HAHAHAHAHA!
Sasuke's face turned blue with fury until Naruto placed a hand on his shoulder.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HEAL HIM… HE HAS NONE OF HIS LITTLE WHORES LEFT—INO, SAKURA, KARIN… THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I'LL TORTURE THEM LATER. AND YES… IT WAS ME… ALWAYS ME… HINATA TOO MHMHMHM."
Naruto's gaze darkened.
Yami flashed a white-toothed grin.
Yami: Did Tsunade wake up from her coma? I'm sure I didn't abuse her that much… though she was delicious for her age. Why not revive Kushina and Mikoto too? I'd love to taste them… just like Konan, who couldn't protect herself… — he said with a growing smile.
Naruto's chakra erupted, a golden cloak enveloping him.
A purple aura burst from Sasuke.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSS! HATE MEEEE MORE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Yami laughed wildly as his vocal cords burst and regenerated over and over, a dark chakra swirling around him.
Yami: CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH?! HAHAHAHA! YOUR MOTHERS WILL HANDLE IT JUST FINE! I'LL DESTROY THEM, BREAK THEM, AND SHATTER YOUR SAGE'S DAMN PROPHECY! I'LL FEED THE BIJU TO ONE ANOTHER… POWER, PROPHECY—NONE OF IT MATTERS! NOTHING UNDERSTANDS MY HATE! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU… I HATE YOU ALL!
"GRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHH—"
"I REVIVED THEM! I AM NOT OBITO! DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY PARENTS SAID? FUGAKU THE COWARD TOLD ME TO LEAVE… MY SISTER CRIED… SHE DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL PAIN… MY GIRLFRIEND ONLY SAID 'AVENGE HER' AND LEFT… MY DAUGHTER WAS ONLY DAYS OLD… HER SOUL WAS WEAK… UNFORMED… FAINT… DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FELT?! MY HATE IS NOT NAGATO'S… NOT SASUKE'S PITIFUL VERSION… MY HATE IS ABSOLUUUUTE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
As Naruto and Sasuke summoned their colossal avatars gifted by their blessings, a violent gust of wind struck them. A titanic chakra surged, forming a giant silhouette so massive it pierced the clouds.
Kurama frowned deeply.
That damn Uchiha… with no special gifts, no bloodline enhancement, no centuries-old conspiracies… a nobody with nothing but the Sharingan and a hatred that burns.
He rose above prophecy, above the Sage's chosen children, above shinobi…
He challenged the heavens and was winning.
A true monster—one even Hell didn't want.
"GRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH—"
