Chapter 6 - 5. The Uchiha massacre

Ishizu's POV

I lived in a rather normal apartment. It was at the shinobi district near the hokage tower. I had 3 rooms. 1 living room, a kitchen and a bed. Now here I am, thinking how to make this plan go as smoothly as possible.

Even though I knew the massacre will happen I forgot the exact time when. The good thing was that I knew just the right person to stick to and so I stayed with Shisui Uchiha who was my teammate at some point during my Chunin years. My relationship with Shisui was a good one. I was one, if not the only non-Uchiha, he had as a friend. We both trained a lot during our early years and during that time I met Itachi. I also met Sasuke but he was to young to interact with us a.d.u.l.ts.

Few days later:

I confronted Shisui earlier about the conflict of the Uchiha clan and the possibility of a civil war. I warned him not to trust Danzo as he had some kid of grudge against the Uchiha's and that if Shisui went to Danzo he would die. Shisui was shocked at first at how I knew about the clans problems but dismiss it as he knew that I could have heard it when he was visiting him in the clan compound.

I saw Shisui getting nervous, not knowing what to do, but that nervousness was gone and instead a smile appears on his face. "Now I know what I have to do and you, my friend, will help me". (Shisui)

What I didn't expect him to do next was to pull both eyes out of his sockets. I was experienced with blood and disgusting things but seeing your friend taking both eyes out was not a good sight. "Ishizu I don't want to think that Danzo would do such a thing but what you say could be true. My Sharingan is to powerful to be in the hands of Danzo. "Kotoamutsukami" is the most powerful Genjutsu I have ever seen. I thought I could trust Danzo but him having my eyes would be a disaster for Konoha and you are one of my best friend aside Itachi. I hope you can use those eyes to help Konoha. I trust you so use them for something good. Please take care of Itachi and Sasuke for me. They are family, as you are all but in blood". (Shisui)

I tied to talk him out of it saying he could use it now on the clan head but Shisui waved his hand explaining: "Ishizu, ROOT is everywhere, even if I survive I will be hunted by Danzo and can not come back to Konoha. Please protect Konoha, Itachi and his little brother with everything you have".(Shisui)

To trick Danzo Shisui transplanted some other Sharingan eyes and confronted Danzo. I watched,secretly, as it happened and the meeting was mostly the same as in the anime. Danzo got the "fake" eye and when Shisui came to Itashi I showed myself. "Ishizu-san why are you here?(Itachi) "Well I want to say goodbye to Shisui"(Ishizu) Whispering to Itachi: "I hope you know what to do. Choosing between Clan and Village is a choice not even I know how to take. Don't worry I will take care of your brother. I will help you get the eyes of your parents so Danzo can't take them. Take care."(Ishizu) I hugged Shisui and let a few tear down my eyes. He was and will be a good friend.

I couldn't watch him committing suicide or prevent it as it helped Itachi awakening his mangekyō.

This is what I hated the most. Even if I knew beforehand about the events I couldn't change it. That is why I needed power. I needed to be the strongest so nothing could be taken away from me. In this world people who had power ruled. If I could become the strongest person nobody would die and I would achieve peace. (God complex is strong I know)

As I walked away I could hear a faint 'thank you' muttered.

The days went by and Itachi and Obito killed the clan except Sasuke.

I acted during the time when Sasuke was put into the 'Tsukuyōmi'. It was not easy avoiding both Obito and the ROOT who closed the compound. I even had to kill some of those emotionless shinobi. In the main compound I found Sasuke's parents lying on the floor. It was a miracle that ROOT wasn't here. I took Fugake and Mikoto's eyes. Moving out I saw the motionless body of Sasuke lying on the floor. I knew there would be no better chance so I made my way to Sasuke. He was out cold so he wouldn't notice it as I took a syringe and a scalpel out of my pocket and collected blood and cells from Sasuke.(I hope you know what I want to do)
