It was a peaceful day in Konoha. One day as he was in the picture book. The sun shone down from the nearly cloudless sky, the birds chirping on the red roofs of the village, mothers carrying their purchases home and children ran through the streets. Such was the normal life. A village that lived peacefully in front of him.
But Konoha was anything but normal.
Konoha was one of the largest and most powerful ninja countries that had ever existed. Only a few months ago was the last war ended in like the Ninja were many. Eternal peace would not last, the rest was just a long break to rest and work-up of reserves. The spying powers to hear evidence about all that they have the others could find, to strike the target at the right time. But right now you could see them not a bit. There was no excessive tougher guards at the gates at night and you could also venture into the street without fear to a foreign ninja to fall into their hands.
This was known to a black-haired boy who walked to strolling through the streets at the Ninja Academy. He had been born in times of war and raised. On the day of his birth was about half the clan was not there to await the arrival of the heir. They had all fought in a heavy battle that had raged outside in the fields. His own father had only learned a month later that he was even born and it had once again double the time cost to the Uchiha clan officially introduce his heirs.
Itachi took a step faster on the large building that the first step would be to his way as a ninja. Even from a distance he could see the slightly battered building that is not spared in the turmoil have failed. Here and there were holes in the wall, cracks in the wall and the paint is peeling.
The young Uchiha looked at the devastation that could be found in the building. She was found on virtually every home. Finally, had until a few months, fighting raged in which it was not uncommon that enemy ninja penetrated into the village. But a peace treaty had been restored, and all were satisfied with the current situation.
He had got to feel those effects. He was at once move alone and outside the Uchiha estate and also visit other places. He had the lessons, what to do in case of emergency, non-stop and could not practice normally visit the ninja school.
Itachi smiled happily. Today would take place the final examination. If he were to exist, it would finally be a ninja. Not quite, but still a big step further. The 6-year-old boy push himself past the other students chattering and sat on his place in the classroom and waited. The chatter of the helpless elderly, he took no part at all. Unlike them knew that there he would. He knew it would, so be it.
He would also not imagine what would happen if not. His father would probably freak with anger, because failure was something he hated like the plague. He himself would be ashamed if he did not exist according to his notes he had produced. Itachi looked around furtively as he realized that it was getting quieter. Behind him he heard the murmur of a desperate Pupil, the Seals to the Bunshin no Jutsu again in the spirit went through. Loser, the teacher began with the first call and they still practiced.
He could imagine that they would not exist. And that although she was much older than himself, but those were the most.
it had ever set a step higher, so that he the other students his age do not put too much pressure. The teachers just did not know where with him because he had solved all the exercises below. Of course He was thus not very popular. They were all jealous. The younger ones, to whom he was so far ahead of the seniors who felt ripped.
But Itachi was just annoyed. Even now, as the investigator called him and headed in the next room, where he should show in his view, simple exercise. Any adult who met him, treated him like a little kid and when this man, then found out that he knew more than these children's language, then they caught most of what, Uchiha Clan ',' pride 'and' heritage ' babbling. As if he does not know himself. Now he would first have to pass the exam before he could get excited about this next adult.
" name?" Asked the inspector.
"Uchiha Itachi "
" age?"
" 6 years
" Previous training at the academy? "
" Six months'
It was true. He was only half a year at this school until he had been finally been approved for consideration. Many had believed he would overdo it and that he was overrated, but his comprehension was known quickly. Anyone who saw him, spoke of the one flyer from the Uchiha clan. " But he felt that not all of it pleased that the Uchiha clan were brought forth such a promising candidate.
Although he could not really imagine why. Sure, his relatives behaved sometimes a bit strange, but that was the reason? But before he could continue to think about it, the examiner presented him his job. But it was, as Itachi had expected, amazingly simple.
" create as many doubles, as you can and call me the most important rule of the Ninja."
Itachi stood in position, and while he created the 10 perfect Bunshin, he thought
what should now be the response that the examiner would love to hear from him. There were some basic rules, but even he liked these regulations are not in part.
Yet it appeared clear the answer.
The examiner looked amazed at the number of doubles who were in the room. This would probably be the best result since a long time. They had heard some rumors about the Uchiha, the the exercises solved faster than anyone else, but believe it really, they had it then not be able to.
" All right, Itachi. You've passed the first part, now tell me what you think is the most important rule for a Ninja. "
now waiting the audience would be curious what's coming and saw the Uchiha expectantly at. But for a while nothing happened only once. Only after a while Itachi sat on a response. The situation in the room was strangely tense.
" team effort," came the answer.
" teamwork?" Echoed the principal investigator. That was not the answer he had expected from the boy.
" Yes, one has to protect his friends and respect. Especially in such hard times. "
The examiner nodded and handed over all his Itachi Konoha headband. The Uchiha who accepted it and put it in his pocket, not without it, at least for a moment to look. He turned then left the room. But the inspectors had the feeling that the answer that had the Uchiha can exist, not that was what Itachi had originally wanted to say.
The auditor and teachers of the young Uchiha shuddered as he thought as he called the next waiting. Something was weird about this boy and he would have liked to see if the boy had stayed longer at the school, but what should you do with such a student?
-
Itachi came with a happy grin through the gate to the Academy. He had finally made it. Although not much was been there this test to exist, it still made him proud to own it at last. It awarded him as a ninja.
He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it while running. The metal was smooth and he could even reflect it.
He would savor this moment before it comes to band. At home were such banalities frowned upon, so he complained even as he jostled by parents who were waiting for their children to either to heap congratulations or comfort them if they do not had done. He did not care that his parents were not there.
the contrary, it would have disturbed him even more if his father or his mother had turned up here. Both were strangers to him. His father was the leader of the Uchiha police captain and a very authoritarian personality. A callous Ninja as described in the rule book, while his mother had probably never held a kunai in his hand.
She was a gentle person who did not quite fit into the picture which he had made from the Uchiha clan. She was a normal woman and really nothing special. That was what bothered him. His mother was not a special ninja or something of that sort, but it only got attention when it was something special. That is why Itachi kept trying desperately to his mother to see something special, so it was not violated.
If he would be something special, then everyone would be proud of his mother that she had so produced a wonderful son.
as Itachi then his headband tied around his head, he turned a corner and did not see on the way, the thoughts still in his clan and his future as a ninja. That's why he did not see the man standing behind the corner and promptly hit with this, who was talking to someone else.
The young Uchiha as he felt something soft to hit, just as he had finished tied the knot in his headband. To not end up on the hard ground he struck out of pure reflex, and began a backwards somersault off before he landed safely on its two feet. He sat up and slapped the dust from the missing pants.
" Excuse me, Master, I had not paid attention to the road," Itachi sent his word to the man he had bumped on.
This just looked at him and was apparently surprised that he had not landed on the floor. He had long black hair, which he openly the back fell down and not been as committed to him, in a braid together. He was wearing a Konoha headband and Jo-nin vest. His face was pale and his eyes had a yellowish color. The eyes stood out from the face anyway. Not only were they resemble snakes, but also had this weird expression.
something Itachi said that this man was special and said the piercing gaze that was thrown at him fearlessly.
Before this, however, could say anything, took the second man, who previously talked with snake-like man had the floor. It was a Uchiha, Itachi as noted at first glance and even a little closer relative of his.
"Hello Itachi where you come to her at this time? Should not you be in the academy? "
" No, Goro-san, I had my exam today so I can go home now. It is given later known what I will master allocated. "
said Itachi's not without a little pride in his voice, but this was hard to hear out.
" So, then you are now so much of a ninja, right? But it was to be expected so, as soon as you put behind the Academy hurries up. But tell me, what should you do? "
That was the question of his relatives and Itachi knew what was it. So that his uncle could tell, like all how great he had cut off and he would be the future of the entire clan.
"'s what I had expected. A simple double Jutsu, and the question of the most important principle of the Ninja. The required response was, of course, teamwork. "
Itachi put his words deliberately out to hear that his uncle was that he thought differently about the most important rule, but he was sure that no one would notice. But he noticed this strange sparkles in the eyes of his uncle before he turned back to the stranger, whom he himself had taken it almost back from his memory.
" Well, Orochimaru-sama, I have to say goodbye. I want to take your time no longer in stock. "
With these words his uncle disappeared without a greeting, which was directed at him. Apparently he was afraid of the man he had named Orochimaru. The name he rang somewhere in his head, but he did not come to where he had heard that name before.
" I'm once again sorry that I bumped you on, Orochimaru-sama. Forgive me for my carelessness. "
Itachi apologized again for the man who finally took the floor. Although Itachi did not excuse from this more times, but his clan was a lot of emphasis on tradition and respect for others and put Itachi did not again get into trouble with his father, something was very accurate.
" There is nothing happening, Itachi. On the contrary, I was impressed by your action. Your reflexes are worthy of a ninja, but tell me one, "Orochimaru made a dramatic pause," You said that the 'required' response Team work is. Do you think differently about it? "
Itachi saw the ninja before him in wonder. That he had noticed? He had to be good to get out of the babble of a small boy he had to be for him to be able to hear something out. In reply, he nodded briefly.
" Then tell me what you want to tell the auditor would have. And I want to hear your own opinion. "
Itachi was now very surprised now to hear such words. Since when everyone was interested for his opinion? Immediately raised the man before him on his personal Beliebheitsskala. Then Itachi did as he was told.
" I do not think that a ninja can achieve his goal through teamwork. Team work can be useful, but performance is the result of starch. There are plenty of unworthy, to obtain only through the power of other good reputation. Such people should be excluded from the service. They hinder by their inability to progress. The most important thing in life of a ninja is their own strength and the way there. In an emergency, it is after all on his own. "
Itachi had spoken with a confident and clear voice. His eyes expressed what was said and the cold gaze which would apply to each, the two adults seemed to pierce. In the spirit Itachi saw his former classmates in front of him, were struggling over and over again on the same exercise without tackle them. He saw his relatives before him, also basked in his achievements and presents him as a trophy.
Orochimaru saw the Uchiha closely. He saw the potential and maturity, which was in the boy. And in his mind was an idea. This boy had to be formed. The power that lay dormant in him could not degenerate, which would certainly, if he would be a simple yo-nin assumed.
A gentle smile crossed his lips before he said to Itachi:
" That's right, young Uchiha. Many people are blind and give themselves illusions. It is important that you do not forget that opinion, but speak not loud. Most people do so not to hear, but you have this knowledge necessarily save your soul. Illusions only bring bad, no matter how beautiful they look like, behind it spends more and only the truth. And I do not think the truth is beautiful. "
Itachi felt like he was gewuschelt just above his head and he saw Orochimaru long. He sucked these words deep in his heart, and she decided never to forget. He bowed quickly and then turned and ran home.
" Goodbye Orochimaru-sama. "
more to himself than to Itachi muttered the San-nin.
" We will meet again, little Uchiha. speak You can poison. "
Then he disappeared in a cloud of smoke. There were some things he would have to regulate.
