Ch4
Itachi's letter had a grand impact on the Shinobi world that we know. The least affected by far was the land of earth. When Ohnoki saw the letter, he made an announcement that what Itatchi said was from a liar and a traitor. Because of the fact that they were just in a war with Konoha, it was easy to build negative sentiment there about Itachi. Ohnoki did not view it as a negative. Because it was not something he really had to be worried about.He did think that it incited the natural rebellious side of people. What he did was figure out the amount of people that he had on surveillance and guard duty to act as people to stop people from escaping as well as stop people from invading and other normal guard duty jobs. There was nobody that took a lot of feeling and impact from the letter because they were enemies.
In the land of lightning there is a different reaction. The fourth Raikage had dealt with an image problem for the land of lightning. With all the bloodline hunting and attempting to steal the Hyuga child. Using other bloodlines and using them between shinobi to make children was not a good look and representation for the village. He wanted to be different from the previous leader on those aspects. Raikage-sama I have a letter for you. Give it to me. The Raikage read the letter, and he was impressed by the guts of the person that wrote the letter. It is very impressive to write a letter like that knowing that your village might try to kill you. Is this only sent to us? No sir, it looks like this has been given to hundreds of people. And our scouts say that it has been given to more places than just our village. Really, that's impressive. I do think that if this guy needed to come to our village, I would let him in. Why do you say that, Raikage-sama? The land of lightning is a place to prioritize his power and honor. A man willing to stand up and fight for the things that he wants is honorable. I would like you to do something. Yes, sir. Take down his location, and whenever he stops moving from place to place, I want you to send him a letter. Understood? Yes, sir.
In Suna There was a mixed reaction to Itachi's letter. Some people detested Itachi because they felt like he was betraying their ally. But they also detested the way that their ally was running their village. Leader sama I have a letter for you. All right, give it to me. Thank you. Suna Kage was extremely surprised. Because he really felt uniquely conflicted on this issue. On one hand, a downward movement in and losing a powerful S-class ninja like that could really hurt the village. But he also thought that there could be something there. He had been thinking for a while since they started the alliance that they got the bad end of the stick. They weren't getting as many missions, which was leading to less pay. So on the other end, economically speaking, this will help them because Konoha will not get as many missions for the lack of trust in the government. He also would love to thank Itachi. The reason why is because it would make it easier for him to try to invade Konoha. Without Itachi or the last Uchiha, they will become less strong. And on top of that, the government structure will lose its bite and strength without Danzo protecting it from the shadows. With Itachi gone and Sasuke gone, it just put Konoha in a really weak spot. Honestly, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to walk over to where Itachi was and hug and kiss him for helping him so much. He then realized when his son became Chunin exam age, he would send him to the Chunin exams in the great village with their will of fire. He thought more about his six-year-old son named Gara, who has the one-tailed Shikoku inside of him. His son only knew murder; his son only knew anger; his son was beyond crazy, and he knew that he had pushed his son to be like that. But now he could see a realistic chance of a day coming where there will be only four great nations. And to achieve this goal, the attempted murders, the sending of assassins after his son, will have to change; he will have to breed even more fear and anger and hatred in his son. And when he was done and Konoha was slain, there will be a golden era in the sand known as the area led by the Demon of the Sand, and nobody will ever mess with their village ever again.
The smaller nations that were allied with Konoha felt their trust in Konoha slipping because they allied with them because of the image of the good-hearted village of the land of fire. And that's the reason why they wanted to ally with them, because they felt like it was a good village, honest and something you could trust. But because of that, they signed the offers that were not as financially advantageous. So after that, these villages were up in the air and could be swayed to a different village if the offer was better.
Itachi's letter did have more of an impact in Konoha. When Hiruzen, the Hokage of Konoha, read the letter, he was amazed and sad. He was amazed that Danzo had gone so much more dark than he thought. He always knew that he had darkness in him but could never see him doing that type of thing. They were teammates, and both learned from Tobirama, the second Hokage, and he thought they had a tighter bond than that. It made him sad. He was sad at the loss of Itachi Uchiha, who he saw so much potential in. He really wanted the Uchiha clan to have a place in Konoha forever. But then the fact that Itachi left the village and wanted to make a village of honesty really hurt him. Because he was the longest-tenured Hokage ever, and he had made many mistakes. With Orochimaru, he regretted those things. It made him feel like he might be doing things wrong in Konoha. The mountains of regrets that were growing within him just got larger. They also had a major issue; there was no place that the letter hit home more. He could tell that people were tempted to leave. Konoha was supposed to be the place with the land of fire. That represented the heart and passion that resides with each citizen. Because of that, he saw the way that the villagers did not always want to come up to him. It had been the way that the government had been run since the beginning of the village; he could see them thinking about leaving. He saw the way that the villagers did not always want to come up to him. He saw the way the villagers would not stare at him for very long. People's hearts were changing to distrust, and it was very troubling for their future as a village. He was very deep in thought about what he should do. Hi Shikaku, I'm glad you came into the office for a meeting today about the letter. Anything for you, leader llama. What do you think about the letter and how we should handle it? I think we should handle it with respect and authority at the same time. What I mean by that is we should not publicly denounce Itachi because it's just going to force more resentment toward the village. But while doing that, we should have shinobi making rounds around the village to make sure that nobody escapes. Yes, I think that's a good idea. As the Jonnin and commander, you may implement your steps. Thank you, leader Sama. You can leave now.
In Konoha there was an academy with some very important students who just recently started going to school as six-year-olds. This class was buzzing with so much chatter and talking before the class started because of what happened recently in the letter of truth. Sakura I can't believe Sasuke left. I'm so sad. How about you? I know, yeah, I am so sad, and I can't believe the boy I loved was supposed to be my soulmate. He would've chosen me over you, Baka. What are we supposed to do now? We both had a crush on Sasuke, and now he is gone. Naruto is a Baka, Shikamaru never moves, Choji is always eating, Shino is so quiet, and Kiba is loud. Yeah, we have nobody to crush on now. Did you hear about Itachi's letter? No, tell me. Well, Itachi wrote a letter saying that he was ordered to kill his clan by a guy named Danzo; my dad said he was a bad guy. And basically he regrets killing them and wants to try to change the world to a truthful government. Ino, that man killed his whole family and took my Sasuke away. I don't care what he is fighting for. That man is a bad man. Well, I miss Sasuke too, but the more I read the letter, the more I see the point. Oh yeah, and what is that Ino pig? It's that he is standing up to try to change the world; at least that is honorable. No way, Ino, you cannot say you want honor after killing your whole clan. Hi guys, the top dog is here now. Since Sasuke left, you all can have the alpha male you have been wanting all to yourself. Shut up, dog. Brain, nobody likes a boy like you, Baka. Hey Choji, have you seen how sad everyone is? Those fangirls look like they lost a million dollars. Yeah, Shika. I can see that. What do you think about that letter? It is troublesome, but there were some things in it that were right. What do you mean? Well, the village system that we have right now could be better, and when you try to build an honest society, it could lead to more peace. Shika You are not going to leave me, are you? No, of course not, Choji. I just think that this is something that our clans may think about, don't you? Well, my clan teaches honor and the glory of battle, and Itatchi's goal is very honorable. This could lead to a very troublesome situation. Hey Shino, what did you think of the letter? It was very interesting. Why? Because of its social dynamics. Man, it is so hard getting you to explain what you think, Shino. My clan is all about loyalty. Anyone who kills his clan will always be disloyal. The only person who was sitting alone was Naruto. Naruto was an orphan, someone who was very alone and tried to cover up his sadness and loneliness with pranks. Why am I the only one here who does not have a family and is lonely? If Sasuke had been here, at least when I looked around the room, I could have seen someone in the same situation as me. I have been beaten and treated badly by the villagers, and I am always alone. My world changed when I saw that letter. An honest world sounds amazing to me because I don't even know why all of these people hate me. I don't even know why these people beat me. The truth would change my whole world. I want to go where the letter tells me to go so badly, but I cannot travel on my own yet and make it there. I will use my pranking skills to try to follow my schoolmates to see if they want to leave and then go with them. That's the only thing I can think of. I just wish that I had more friends. Hinata, who was in the corner of the room trying to be as invisible as humanly possible, was also conflicted. My clan, the Hyuga clan, is the complete opposite of Itachi. We hide behind lies to control the branch members. It is all just political movement and controlling that has led to a clan that I am not proud to be the princess of. I wish I could just run away. If Naruto runs away, then I would run away with him. His confidence and work ethic give me courage, and without that, I would be alone.
Shikamaru, Choji, Glad to see you guys are back from school. Don't forget that you guys have to come to the meeting today. It sounds troublesome, but I will go. Later that day, around sunset, there was an extremely large meeting in the Narra main compound.
Even though it is troublesome, we have gathered here to talk about Itachi's letter. Choza, Yes, we have been with Konoha for a very long time. Our clan really tries to celebrate the honor of death and battle and the honor that comes with being a good human being. And we have decided that even though it will be hard, we cannot ignore Itachi's letter. We feel Itatchi's emotions when it comes to this world he wants to build and the way that it can change, and we think we should follow him. There were gasps among many groups of people at this meeting because they were so surprised. I know you guys are very surprised, but when Hashirama wanted to build our village, we joined because we believed in his vision. That vision did improve the world, but we are in a situation again where there is someone to follow that can change the world for the better. We respect our forefathers very much in our clan, and it would be a disgrace to them for us to not have the courage that they had. We have accepted the possibility of failure, but we know that we will never forgive ourselves for not trying. I would like to say that you guys should not put our friendship before your clans before making this decision. Inochi, what do you think? We know what Danzo has done is wrong. And I cannot help but worry about the fact that it could have been any of us. If any of us had had negative feelings, they could have sent one of our own clansmen to kill us all. Think about that. This village took the clan's faith that we gave to the village that we would serve this village, and they just showed that we are in danger. They can kill any of us; that is why I want to leave. Our clan no longer feels safe. We must leave, but I just cannot do it until my child is older. Now there are shinobi that will be patrolling outside of the village. We also must leave this village in a planned fashion. We would like to join. Everyone's heads turned to the entrance to Shibi Aburame, who had just walked into the room. We will join you guys for the safety of our clan's future. All heads turned to Shikaku, who was the head of the Nara clan, who were not overly physically strong but might be the smartest people in the shinobi world. It is troublesome, but it would be more troublesome if you all died. We will do what the Akimichi and the Yamanaka said. We will leave after 2 years of being here. We will act like everything is normal to make sure that we do not draw any suspicion. The one issue is if we all leave at the same time, it will draw a lot of attention to us. We must be extremely careful about not telling anyone about our plans. I will think about what is the best course of action to get us out of the village. I will say that one step will include shadow clones of us going in the opposite direction as us as a distraction. So as many of our clansmen as possible must learn that jutsu. Does that make sense? Yes, it does. Okay, remember, nobody act like this conversation ever happened.
On an A-ranked mission, Kakashi and Anko Mitarishi were heading back to Konoha. Kakashi, did you see the letter that Itachi wrote? Yes, I did. In our briefing with Hiruzen, I have to say that Itachi will never achieve his dream. He will never achieve his dream because this world is too dark for him to achieve his society. Anko was actually moved by the paper Itatchi wrote and was thinking about leaving. Based on Kakashi's answer to her question, it was best to change the subject so she did not raise any suspicions. Kakashi, all you do is read those books. Why do you read them so much?. Ma Ma, I read these books because they are the best literature ever created!!! Okay, okay, I get it, but name one thing you do that is not related to that book and being a shinobi. Ummm, well, I was told I could cook pretty well when I was younger. Anko was not the type of person to beat around the bush on a topic, so she did something that most people did not do. Why do you answer most questions like the best part of your life is the past? Do you have any hopes for the future? Immediately, Kakashi went on the defensive: Oh no, that is not something I want to talk about. Well, I know you do not want to, but not having someone to talk about it with must be extremely hard on you. I know from experience that talking to Kurenai really helped me get over my issues with Orochimaru. Guy doesn't really seem like the emotionally developed type, so I do not think that you would talk to him about it. I mean, I am not trying to understand every bad thing you have ever gone through; I am just trying to understand why you do not want anything else. I mean, I have watched you and your friend group, and your actions are odd. Most guys either chase women to date them or to try to sleep with them. And when they go out, they try to do one of those two things, but I have never seen you try to do either. Some guys are more shy, so they usually try to become your friend first, but you can tell by how nervous they are that they like you. But you do not do any of those things that normal guys do. And yes, some guys are like that, where they make girls work for them, but even then they either sleep with them or deem them worthy of being a couple. But you do none of the 4. When you are out with your guy friends. You just read your book completely in your own world. Most people just let it go and do not care or cannot notice the signs of someone who needs help. I am like you in a different way. If there were 100 people in a room, you would be the quietest, most non-talkative person there, and if I were in a room with 100 people, nobody would be louder and more attention-grabbing than me. We are both extremes because it is how we cope with our pain from our pasts. But I am sure that the famous copycat ninja is very aware of that. And as the only other member of us two extreme shinobi, I am the only one that can relate to you. You see, Kakashi had lost many things in life: his father committed suicide, his mother died when he was young, his whole gennin team died, and his sensei, Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage, and his wife both passed away. He was so broken from all of that it put extreme pain on his heart and gave him depression. He would always act like he was just a guy late to things, but he hated leaving his house. And whenever he finally did leave, he felt like nothing else mattered more than going to the memorial stone because he was feeling so negatively about himself. He hated himself and put on a facade to trick the world into believing that the great copycat ninja was perfectly okay, but on the inside he was slowly decaying. The only thing that was getting him through was his comrades and Guy's craziness. He also had a hard time sleeping because his mind was running so fast thinking about the things that happened to him in the past. He could not just shut it off. Like anyone else who is going through depression and is a professional at putting up a facade. And at this moment he decided to give someone a chance. I am cursed; everyone that gets close to me dies. Why would I want a girlfriend or even a one-night stand when all she will do is die? I cannot go through the process of getting close to someone and then dying. It would hurt too much. I am afraid that it would break my spirit. So that is why I do not have any dreams or wants for the future because I am cursed. Well, I understand that you feel like you are cursed, but don't you think that the people you have lost would want you to try? Yes, you are probably right, but I do not think that I will just jump into it; it's just too much. I would not recommend you do that either; for you to achieve something like that, you would have to work on yourself emotionally anyway to be ready for a relationship. First, you can just start with a friend that you can talk to, which is me, and your pain will slowly go away with time. You also must take the time while doing that to figure out what you want in the future, not what Guy wants, not what Konoha wants, and not what I want, okay? Okay, she felt glad that she was able to do what Kurnie did for her and try to involve someone else with her issues. Sounds good. Then Kakashi opened up his book but could not help that inward smile at the fact that he felt a little lighter. Anko felt glad that she was able to do what Kurnie did for her and try to help someone else with her issues.
At the Hyuga compound, their reaction to the letter was very simple. Thank you, Hyuga council, for coming today. I have some things that I wish to say about Itatch's letter. We must use this letter to gain more power in the village. We know we have the strongest clan in the village now. We must hope that some other clan leaves Konoha and we can gain more power. I want every Hyuga, if a clan leaves, to disobey any order so that we can help them leave so that the Hyuga can rule Konoha. We could not have said it better ourselves, Hisashi.
In the hidden mist village in the rebel base, there was no greater positive impact than Itatchi's letter. The camp was on a small island off the coast of the mist village. This place had all of the rebels there and their families, and there were some very important people in this village. Hi Mei, This is Ao reporting from your Anbu surveillance mission. It looks like the northeastern fort is moving 20% of its ninja to the northern fort for supplies. It looks like a false alarm. That sounds good, Ao. Good work. Thank you. Mei sama how is the development process going for prospects for one of the next swordsmen? There is a young child around 8 years old whose name is Chojuro. He is very skilled for his age with the sword, so I think he is the best candidate. Sadly, he is just so nervous we will have to break him out of that. Yes, a nervous swordsman does not really seem like the image that the 7 swordsmen of the mist are meant to portray. Well, Mei-sama, what do you think our plan of attack will be against Yagura? Well, we need time to build up our strength while also we have to win the people's trust. Yeah, I think the rhetoric on these bloodline purges is crazy. I mean, who in their right mind would approve of targeting clans and killing them just because they have a blood limit? You must not have seen the letter. Ao our village is not the only place where this has happened. Here, read this: Ao's face was absolutely shocked and prideful at the same time. I cannot believe that Konoha ordered one of their family members to kill the whole Uchiha clan; it is so surprising. Yes, it was considered the greatest village for them to do something like that; it is very surprising. Yes, it is Ao. Did you read the rest of the letter? Yes, I did, and I feel like we can use this person's ideals as some sort of emotional strength for our citizens. We should make one for each family to remind them that there are other people like them that are not inside of these walls. I could not agree with you more, Ao I will get these in every household immediately. I wonder where he will go? Well, I highly doubt that a civil war-torn land with a doujutsu would be his first choice. Yeah, that would not be my first choice either, but I do not think we should give up hope on that. The island where these rebels lived operated like a small town where everyone knows everyone, and it made Mei extremely happy to see how happy everyone on the island was. It gave her hope for her future. Mei was with her younger sister Mindy, who was 6 years old with red hair, and Mei was putting her to bed. Mei Yes, Mindy, do you think that that man who wrote that letter will come here? I hope so, Mindy; that would be great, but it is about using anything you can to deepen your resolve when you are fighting for something, and that is what this letter has done for our people. What do you think he is like? Probably a very deep human being, but other than that, I do not know Mindy. Well, Mindy It is time to go to bed. Goodnight, big sister.
When Mei thought about that day, she never thought in a million years that Itachi Uchiha and his brother would come. How do we know that you are Itatchi? Summoning jutsu above itachi rose up 5 ravens with Uchiha crests on each raven with letters to be given out. Okay, you do know that the mist is in a civil war, and we are the rebels. It could be a dangerous place for your brother. I know it may be dangerous for him, but it would be anywhere else we went, but here we can find like-minded people, which will be good for him. Okay, I will let you come inside. We have many things to talk about. When Itachi entered through the front gate, he had experienced something that he never had before: everyone was staring at him. He experienced stares because he was a prodigy, but those stares were filled with envy and jealousy, but now he was receiving stares out of respect. We actually used your letter in each household of people here so they could be reminded that other people think about the world similar to us. Itachi was stunned because he never would have imagined that the letter that he wrote would affect so many people, but from that moment he felt a connection to the people of this rebellion. Itachi, please sit in this seat here. Thank you, leader-sama. You are welcome. My name is Mei Turumi, and before we get you started with ranking, there is something that you must understand if you want to live here. The thing that you must understand is that you will never have any peace and quiet; people will view you as a symbol of what is right with this world, and you have to make sure that you do not take any actions that tarnish that image. That means no running around with women, no being weird; you have to be the representation of that image every day. Yes, that will work for me. Okay, well, it looks like you are an S-class ninja, so I will give you the rank of Jonin, or you can work with AO, who used to be in ANBU. I used to be an ANBU captain, so I would choose ANBU. Okay, that makes sense, so there are living quarters for ninjas with families. Would you like to take you and Sasuke there? Yes, I would like to take him there with me. Okay, that sounds good. I think all of the specifics are settled. Is there anything you would like to request? Do you guys have an academy? Yes, we have a much smaller one. How old is your brother? He is 6 years old. Okay, perfect. That is the first year of our academy. Well, I will have AO take you to your living quarters to get you set up. I will start to give you missions with AO in a few days. Thank you,
End of chapter 4, a time skip is coming soon.
