Sharingan

" Here. "

Mizuki gave the piece of paper in his hand to the guard.

Who silently checked the provided permission slip and moved out of the way.

Giving him another permission slip specifically prepared for the capture department, the guard finished his duty.

* Step *

* Step *

As Mizuki was stepping on the cold dark ground, he could see Ninja's being bound by seals, captured within cells.

" This is the capture department? "

Mused Mizuki, the environment was horrible as expected.

But he was here to meet team seven, thankfully they were mostly fine, Zabuza didn't do much damage.

" .. Mizuki.. sensei..? "

Snapping his eyes open, Naruto bounced off the ground and ran towards the iron bars.

" Mizuki sensei! Help me! They put me here and the Zabuza Guy went away! And then- "

Mizuki raised his hand to stop Naruto's voice, this was not a place to scream.

" Hush. "

Looking towards the quite but confused Naruto, Mizuki came in the cell, using Kamui.

" Be quite, I came here with many difficulties, I had to somehow convince the Hokage to give a permission slip, I myself was announced a traitor you know. "

Naruto's eyes widened, he remembered, Mizuki sensei was also announced a traitor.

But because he was told not to talk, Naruto didn't speak.

' Did Mizuki sensei sneak in here? Should I go out with him..? Kakashi sensei said we will be released but they still didn't release us. '

As Naruto was thinking on what to do, another person in the cell finally snapped out of their daze.

" Mizuki.. sensei.. "

Sasuke looked at the man, once upon a time they were all still Ninja, he didn't appreciate Mizuki's support back then.

' How? We both have been betrayed by the village, yet you still manage to smile.. is this the right way? Away from all the hatred..? '

Sasuke kept mum as he looked at Mizuki in a daze.

Repeated attacks have left him confused, Sasuke saw Sakura die, the image of her head rolling was still stuck in his mind.

She dying had reminded Sasuke of the massacre yet again.

Then he finally saw the darkness of Konoha.

" Now calm down and explain what's happening? "

Sasuke's attention snapped back in place as he began talking in a small voice.

" Mizuki.. sensei. What do you know about the Uchiha massacre? "

Mizuki was slightly surprised at this question, so he looked towards Naruto who didn't know how to speak without a booming voice, so he tried to come to Mizuki's ear as he attempted to whisper.

" There was another guy with us here before he was removed, he looked like a jerk, told Sasuke that some guy named Itachi didn't kill his clan or something, Sasuke is like that since then. "

Naruto couldn't bear to watch Sasuke sit in a daze all day, he had attempted to cheer him up, but couldn't, so he gave the job to Mizuki.

As for Mizuki being named a traitor? Haha, they too were named sinners weren't they, and he had learnt a lot during his stay in this dark place.

Even Hashirama had killed Madara with his own hands, Ashura reincarnation's weren't unshakable, and Naruto was shook to say the least, seeing his village abandon them.

" I see.. Sasuke, what happened to that guy? "

Looking up, Sasuke spoke in a small tone of voice.

" He was dragged out as soon as he started talking, they said he spoke too much. "

Looking at Mizuki with tears in his eyes, Sasuke all but begged him

" Is it true..? Was Itachi also framed, just like us?! "

Naruto didn't know how to react to that, he had heard much about how Hokage was a bad guy, he didn't want to believe, but he was here wasn't he and that was after Sakura had died.

Mizuki nodded his head as he made a few handsigns.

" Ha! "

As seals were set up in the cell, Mizuki spoke out normally.

" Alright, I have set up a silence barrier, but don't make too much movement, they can still see you. "

" Alright! "

Naruto exclaimed, he was almost going crazy from sitting in a cell all day long and having to keep his mouth shut.

Looking towards Sasuke, Mizuki spoke out.

" Yes, Itachi was framed. "

As soon as Sasuke heard that, it was as if the world slowed down and he saw red.

And it truly did, Sasuke's eyes had changed to Sharingan which were spinning fast.

His one tomoe was showing signs of splitting.

On this Mizuki saw a chance, turning on his sage mode for maximum efficiency, he started scanning Sasuke.

But he didn't stop the stimulation.

" He did kill the clan, but only the adults and die hard people who wanted to launch a coup, the kids and helpless people were killed by another man. "

Sasuke felt his face getting wet as his brain almost crashed, his brother was also framed, he was forced!

Mizuki's senses were picking up the gland that was activating this special chakra in the brain, and he was close to figuring out the mystery.

So he didn't stop, and continued.

" Everyone who knows this was told to keep quiet about the incident, but I think you deserve to know. "

Sasuke's eyes were currently spinning at high speed as his tomoe had spilt into two.

But Mizuki wasn't happy with this

' Why are you still two tomoe..?! Shisui just thought he was indirectly responsible for a teammate's death and he unlocked Mangekyou, you saw your entire clan getting massacred and suffered a Tsukuyomi for hours and somehow only managed a one tomoe which you forgot anyway! '

Mizuki was speechless at Sasuke's talent, did Mikoto cheat on Fugaku or something, why is the difference between brothers so big.

' No this won't do, why don't I help a little. '

Making a sad face, Mizuki comforted Sasuke as he put his hands on his head.

Injecting natural energy towards the gland Sasuke was currently activating.

' This should work, this won't normally do anything, but his brain is presently manufacturing special chakra, injecting natural energy like this should theoretically be beneficial. '

Mizuki was trying to check the effects of Sharingan, giving an injection of pure natural energy will only help with that.

* Whirl *

And it was, as if Itachi possessed Sasuke, his eyes finally began turning towards three tomoe, it was an instant shift.

And Sasuke was still unaware of this, he just silently looked at the man who helped him so much, and still was helping him when nobody else is.

" Thank you for telling me this.. Mizuki sensei. "

Mizuki raised his eyebrows at that, Sasuke was being nice, now that was rare, but he understood it.

' I see, Sasuke's intense emotional fluctuations which made Sharingan evolve are Itachi's helplessness and my helping presence. '

Mizuki was now a part of Sasuke's emotional stimulation, a part of his Sharingan awakening, a good part, this was making Sasuke show his thankfulness completely, without any hidden actions.

' That's good, Sasuke is notorious for trying to kill the people who helped him, it's good that he is actually feeling indebted to me, don't want to look behind me all the time. '

Sasuke was up to three tomoe now, but Mizuki didn't stop his supply of natural energy, three tomoe evolution he had now seen, but what about further.

Can he push Sasuke to heights he had reached only in part two?

" I wonder "

Whispered Mizuki as his eyes turned blue, and Sasuke's three tomoe started spinning again.
