Mangekyou Sharingan

After seeing what kakashi showed with only a single eye to erase deidara's huge jutsu. Sasuke had began to wonder. How strong would it be if both eyes awakened. Does it mean that his brother was way more powerful than he could imagine? How powerful would he become if he awakened his own mangekyou sharingan?

This was one of the reason why sasuke was visiting kuro today after they returned to konoha and reported their mission.

"Sensei, although we are of the same age and generation. I have always felt that you're way stronger and matured than all of us ever since we graduated. I respect you enough to ask an be your student and I know that if I had to ask someone about this. You would be the best choice I have. You always give me this feeling that you know more than what others know" says sasuke to kuro who was sipping tea prepared by his mother a while ago when sasuke showed up. They then proceeded to his room to talk.

"I have to say I'm glad to hear that from you, Sasuke. Don't worry, as your sensei and friend. You can trust me with anything. I'll be here to help you with what you need. So tell me, what is it that you want to say? or you need my help with?" answered kuro as he sipped his tea again. And Sasue nodded at him.

"During the mission. I saw kakashi use the mangekyou sharingan. I have began to wonder. If he could display such prowess with only one eye. How much would I be a able to display if I awakened mine which is complete and with ichiha blood running through my veins. Do you think you can help me achieve or awaken my mangekyou sharingan?" ask Sasuke seriously as kuro.

Sigh " I wasn't expecting you to say that Sasuke."

"But, you were right to choose me to say this too. Shadow clone Jutsu!" he summoned a clone and gestured sasuke to do the same.

"Alright. I need you guys to stay here to cover us. okay?" the clones nodded at him then he gestured for sasuke to hold on to him. And as soon as he did, both of them vanished from the room leaving the clones behind.

"Where are we?" asked Sasuke. They were now inside a different room with less things around unlike back on kuro's room in konoha.

"We are inside my room in my summoning's place. The summoning world or place is by the way called the flying temple. The reason why I brought you here is because we need more time to talk things out. And this place is the perfect spot for that." answered kuro who once again made another clone.

"Go outside and don't let others in. Tell them I have an important matter to discuss with our student. Oh and tell them he might need to sign on the contract later on." the clone nodded and closed the door as he went out to stand guard.

"Okay! So where were we? . . . A yes. The mangekyou sharingan. You need help on awakening it. But! to awaken it, we also needed to go back to the past and ask why."

"what do you mean the past? what connection does the past have with awakening the mangekyou sharingan?"

"Oh you'll know later. For now tell me, Do you still remember what happened when you first awaken your sharingan? From one to two then three tomoe?"

Sasuke tried to recall his memories first then,

"the first time was when Naruto and I were fighting an ice user shinobi. The second time was when I faced Orochimaru. And the 3rd one was when Sakura and I were on a mission. Sakura was hurt at that time because of my carelessness" sasuke's mood was down when he talked about the last one. So kuro gave him a little bit of time before saying anything.

"Good you still remember. Do you see any patern on how you awakened your sharingan to it's full potential?" asked kuro.

"Hmmn. It's when I needed more power. I needed more power so the sharingan evolved to it's full potential.!" says sasuke as if he realized it.

"wrong!" Bang! His head got smacked down by kuro.

"Huh? how could it be wrong? What other pattern could possibly be the reason?"

Sigh. " Sasuke. Tell me why you seek to be strong?"

"To tell you the truth sensei. I want to-" Sasuke was cut off before he could even finish.

"Stop right there. I know that already regarding your clan and all. But on those three moments when your sharingan evolved. Was the reason you wanted to become strong still the same? Was it so you can take down your brother? Are you sure it wasn't because you wanted to protect your friends? Are you sure you weren't protecting what's important to you?" Sasuke once again remembered those moments that his sharingan evolved. It was so he could protect Naruto from Haku. It was so he could protect his friends from Orochimaru. It was so he could protect Sakura and never let such a thing happen to her again.

"You see Sasuke. It is when we protect what's important to us that our strength truly burns brightest. Like I have always mentioned to you guys, that is what true strength is. This saying was especially and literally true for the uchiha clan, your clan." says kuro as he points his index finger at sasuke's chest.

"where are you going with this sensei? what about my clan?" sasuke was beginning to get curious.

"The uchiha clan's sharingan responds more to it's user's emotion. Wanting to protect what's important to you was only one way. There is another darker way for the sharingan to evolve. It is when one looses someone they hold dear from them. Could be parents, siblings, lover or friends." Sasuke was shocked to hear this.

"Are you saying that my brother killed our entire clan so he could achieve the mangekyou sharingan?" asks sasuke who was clearly trouble at this.

"Ofcourse not. your parents, you, his lover or friend. Either one of you was enough for him to acquire mangekyou sharingan." answered kuro

"Then why? Why did he do it?" another question from sasuke

"From here on out. I will tell you what I know but if you need to confirm it with the 3rd Hokage then you can do so aftr listening to me. I know it when my information is close to the truth or dare I say really the truth. So I have complete confidence on sharing it with you. But, Are you sure you want to know?" kuro asked. Sasuke was serious and nodded.

"Alright then. According to what I have gathered. You're brother massacred your entire clan to preserve it's honor in exchange that you live! Not his parents, lovers or friend but you his one and only little brother." Sasuke's eyes were wide open at kuro's statement but was a little confused. How would massacring an entire clan save it's honor? Didn't Itachi spared him so he could avange the clan.?

"At that time. Your clan was not in favor of the way the higher ups treats them and how they rule or govern the village. So they have planned a coup' in order to rule the village themselves. Your brother at that time was an anbu. If it was only Hiruzen who was able to give orders, he would have probably try to talk to them so it can be settled peacefully. But the other elders especially Shimura Danzo who saw your clan as a threat has a different plan" Sasuke's simply listened through it all. He does not want to stop kuro. Every word he say gets him closer and closer to what happened that night.

"That was the night your brother was given the dirtiest mission ever given in the world of shinobi. Do you think that night when he faced your parents, he was able to handle his emotions? That was your parents we're talking about! No one on their right mind could have done it to their loving parents. They could have stopped him. Your father was definitely stronger and already has his own mangekyou sharingan. That's why he was the patriarch of your clan. But why didn't he? Why didn't your parents stop your elder brother? " Sasuke could picture it out on his mind. His parents just sitting there letting his elder brother take their life away. While his elder brother with a blade on his hands was shaking on what he's doing as tears were running down his eyes when he did it. As he walked inside the the house he sees his parents lying in blood then his brother put him in an illusion on how he mercilessly killed them unlike what really happened. He could picture out Itachi's bloodied hands while tears run down his face but was covered by the dark.

Now that sasuke thought about it. He never really cared to find out what happened that night, how and why it happened like he mentioned to Itachi back when they were rescuing Gaara. He was very much clouded by his emotion that his elder brother planted in him. He remembered when he asked his elder brother "Tell me Itachi. What is the most important thing for you?". That time the illusion shook and it was enough for sasuke to be able to break it.

"I see it now. I understand. But sensei if you know all of this. Then you must know where he currently is?" asked sasuke whose tears were running down his cheeks. Kuro shook his head.

"I don't know where his current location is. But I do know that he is currently acting as a spy to the Akatsuki. The leader of the akatsuki helped your brother that night. Since the akatsuki is a very large potential threat to the village and he is deemed guilty at what he did. It was a perfect cover for him to leave the village and join the organization." Sasuke was shocked to know that even now. His brother is still carrying a mission for the village even after he saved it from his clan coup. His brother should be a hero but was branded a criminal, yet despite all that. He was still loyal to konoha by being a spy to the enemy. Sasuke became angry and Kuro notices this.

"Shimura Danzo." sasuke looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"what I mean to say is. If you're gonna blame someone blame him. He's the one we need to put to rest for your elder brother to be able to return. Shimura Danzo. He was also there that night. To observe? absolutely not. He was there that night nothing more but for the sharingan." Sasuke was getting angry but something hit him. How does he know all of this?

"Sensei?" he called out "Hmmn? what is it?"

"How did you know all of this?"

"I don't want to tell you. Like I said to you before. Every shinobi has their own secrets. Maybe when it's the right time and place, then I will tell you. For now, just trust me on this. Your sensei would gain nothing if he lied to you right now." kuro just made up some silly reason to avoid the question.

A few moments later kuro invited sasuke to see lord thunder so he could also sign the beast contract. Sasuke was afterall his disciple. Sasuke was able to sign but only for those on Red's level. The elders of the flying temples have different contract afterall. They returned to konoha afterwards where only a few hours passed and it was only lunchtime as sasuke visited in the morning.

The next day team 7 were called up since kakashi was in the hospital due the effect of using the mangekyou at a very large scale. Unlike in the Canon however sai was not assigned since sasuke was still in the village. Only Yamato was assigned to be their temporary captain. The reason why they were put together roughly was because of Kuro's intel about orochimaru that he reported when they returned. Kuro was assigned to observe them from a distance as he will be promoted soon as a Jonin. He is to observe how minato leads the team as he will be assigned his very own genin soon. Only yamato was aware of this observation.

Team 7 then sets out to confront Orochimaru. 'Although my blood is boiling right now. I can't interfere with this fight since my job is only to observe. I doubt they'll ever need my assistance though.' was Kuro's thought as he was sitting on top of Cham who was flying in the air following the new team 7. Nobody could see or notice them as they couldn't be seen even if one tries to. Cham's specialty wasn't how fast he was. His name was derived from the name Chameleon. Yes he can turn his purple feathers transparent in color making him almost invisible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile team 7 was journeying by foot. Sasuke haven't tried to summon anyone yet so he's not sure about the jutsu yet. All Kuro did was have him sign on some contract and taught him the hand signs for the jutsu and how to do it. But that's it, no demonstration was done by him.

[AN\ had to update himura to shimura and minato to yamato. What was I thinking seriously? Himura kenshin?? LOL]
