Now you see me...

(Sasuke POV)

It had been around 6 years since I lost my family, slain at the hand of my brother. My anger rose at the mere memory of him.

A few days later I learned that someone else had survived. An orphan named Kei, who already had a matured Sharingan. I was angry at first. His eyes reminded me so much of Itachi that I wanted nothing to do with him, a genius just like him…

Around a year later he discovered that our clan wouldn't be able to sustain itself, and I as the next clan head had to take action… but I realized. Except for the fact that I was an Uchiha, nothing else connected me to the financial side of the clan. I knew nothing about our expenses or how to even keep my own house. I didn't even know how much I wasted of our clan just by staying alive.

When he said he could do it somewhat I jumped at the opportunity to give the responsibility to him… and I realized that those years he would spend locked inside an office instead of me… because of me. This clan meant nothing to him, he was fine before it and he would probably be better and stronger without it. He just did it because I was the one who asked. After all, I was his only family now… and he was mine.

I gave him the position of clan head. I couldn't stop my training to be holed up in an office for 3 years… but he did… for me. Every day I returned home from school, there was food prepared on the table… it felt like home again. Even though he was working in his office day and night because of me, there was never a day in which he didn't greet me with a smile. In this entire village, he was the only person I could trust.

(A/N: Yeeeaaah…. right, sure… not really no)

[Taijutsu: Intermediate(Lv. 21)]

I was just starting my spar with Guy, and already in less than five minutes, my Taijutsu skill had gone up six levels. He was a monster regarding physical attributes, which I suspected being only one point lower than mine.

"Hahaha, Kei-Kun I can see the Youth burning brightly inside you. There are not many who would force me to open the gates, especially on a sparring match but you are an exception." – Guy said as his speed soared, disappearing from my view.

Not a moment later a kick in the stomach sent me crashing through the woods. Without being able to see him I extended my other senses. Moving my head slightly and raising my right arm a kick came sliding off, glancing the side of my head and arm, smashing right behind me.

He was faster, stronger, and more skilled than me… but not more durable. And so we continued. All he needed each time was one solid hit and I was sent flying like a rubber ball, crashing from left to right. After the 54th time I was hit, something changed.

As a kick came towards my chest, I could see it… more exactly see where it would be. My Sharingan could now see Guy's movement.

Moving my body in advance, my left hand grabbed Guy's leg, pulled, and with my right hand's elbow delivered a strike to his chest, plunging him into the ground, creating a tremor as the ground cracked. I didn't get past his defense as he raised his arms to defend his chest, showing that he was still faster.

"And that's it. Great job Kei-Kun. I didn't expect you to be able to land a hit on me while the fifth gate was opened. Your youthful energy is indeed very strong." – Guy said as he jumped up, looking no worse for wear than when we started.

"The way you increased your power Guy-sensei, was indeed astonishing. To be able to put so much pressure on your body and still keep going is amazing. To be able to wield so much power, despite being unable to wield chakra, you deserve more respect Guy-sensei."- As I flattered him I suddenly had a bad feeling.

Looking up I saw a quivering Guy looking at me with tears streaming down his face, and a chill spread through my back.

"Thank you Kei-Kun, you are from now on, one of my most youthful students. Let's make 1000 laps around the village with only one hand to celebrate." – Gai said as he hugged me tightly.

"I would like to Guy-sensei, but I have clan matters to attend to… though Kakashi should be free at this time. How about sneak attacking him to help train his awareness?"

As I said that, stars shined in Guy's eyes.

"Indeed Kei-Kun, I should at least do this much to keep my rival up to my standards." – and with that, Guy went off running towards the village in search of his rival.

Not two minutes later I could feel the hostiles I detected approaching rapidly on my location. Only one person could move these numbers discreetly inside Konoha… Danzo. And not 2 minutes later he came walking slowly out of the woods. More than twenty root shinobi were moving behind him, spreading to the sides trying to encircle me.

"Kei Uchiha…"

Without even waiting for him to start I disappeared from view and flickered back into his view as if nothing had happened.

"Danzo Shimura, a waste of a shinobi. I would have killed you if not for your role in Konoha… though I will be forced to take back my clan's property. Do NOT appear in front of me again, I am not as soft as Hiruzen." – As I spoke, blood fell down from Danzo's now exposed eye socket that once held Shisui's mangekyou. His arm fared no better as multiple empty wholes were now where once the Sharingans were held.

Frozen for a moment, it took Danzo a moment to realize that his hard earned Sharingan had been removed from their place. His remaining eye widening he viewed me much more carefully this time, weighing his options as his thoughts spiraled around how he could salvage this situation... coming out empty in the end.

(A/N Edit: felt very stale so I added an extra small paragraph above. Enjoy the chapter and i hope you enjoy. :)

"Tch… you will regret this one day, Uchiha." – Danzo said bitterly as he disappeared back into the trees and I was left unimpressed.

"No. You will regret this decision until the day you die." - I replied as I held the Sharingans in my hands, putting them behind my back and consuming them.

Mighty plotter as he might have been, I didn't have a weakness he could take advantage of. The only way he could take me on was with fighting prowess… and he knew he didn't have it. There was a big possibility he was going to use Shisui's eye on me after watching my performance, and I couldn't take that risk… but now I could possibly play him like a puppet if this eye was charged and ready to use. It would reduce the impact that I made by changing history tonight as well as possibly give me a hidden force of shinobi brainwashed shinobi to be used at my discretion. But for that to work we would have to be alone.

Now wasn't the moment.

His logic still seemed to be in place. He knew he couldn't take me on in a straight fight after watching me take all his eyes in but a moment and fight Guy while his fifth gate was opened. I did not doubt that he had some spare Sharingans, but he didn't have another Mangekyou… hopefully, and the one ability that could majorly change the canon was in my hands now.

----------------------

As I disappeared from the forest I made my way into the village, going to a small apartment near Ichiraku's. The place seemed almost abandoned, and also very discreet. A place where someone who didn't want to be visited would live.

Knocking on the door it took about a minute for the person inside to open it with a small smile and squinted eyes. The moment he opened his door, his eyes met mine and constricted dangerously.

"Hello Kabuto Yakushi, I believe we have something to discuss regarding your current mentor and employer."

I said as I smiled, my Sharingan rotating dangerously.
