Blame it on me // Uchiha oc reader!

22- End of Beginning

"I don't want a death match between my daughter and my son," Fugaku said. Mikoto sat next to him, both ready to meet their maker. Y/N struggled to relax.

"I see, so you've aligned with the other side."

"I-It's nothing like that, Father..." Y/N shook her head, and tears slipped past her eyelids down to her cheeks. "Mother..."

"We know."

Itachi shook as he held his katana shakily behind their father, Y/N behind their mother.

"My children... Just promise me one last thing before we go... That you'll take care of Sasuke."
Y/N choked back a sob.

"Of course."

"Do not fear it. This is the path you have chosen. Compared to yours, our pain will be over in an instant. Our philosophies may differ, but I'm still proud of you both," Fugaku stated calmly.

"All this could've been avoided... If I'd just become... Hokage," Y/N let her tears fall as she shakily held her Katana in her hands.

"Y/N deep down... You know it was never your path to begin with. Even you, my daughter, I could never read. Your future was always as unknown to me as it was to you. So now with this, write your own future."

Itachi shook as well, his sobs taking over as he nearly let the katana fall.

"I love you... Mother... Father... so much."

Y/N swung her sword down on her mother, killing her in an instant. Itachi with his father as well.

Y/N fell down to her knees, staring at the blood before her.

"W-Why did it have to be this way?"

"Sasuke's here!" Itachi turned to the door.

Y/N stood up.

"Let's give him the worst pain of his life... Do not forgive me, Sasuke."

I don't deserve it.

...

"You're done?" The masked man asked.

"You go on ahead," Y/N nodded.

"We've still got things to do," Itachi said.

...

The two approached Danzo from either side, impersonating his personal Anbu.

"Lord Danzo! The body count doesn't match up."

"What's that?" He paused.

"It's like they just disappeared."

"I witnessed everything," Itachi said, his sharingan causing shivers to crawl up Danzo's spine.

"And we will continue to watch," Y/N smirked behind her mask, her eyes glowing maliciously.

"If you so much as touch Sasuke, we'll pass on classified village intel to every enemy nation," Itachi threatened as the two disappeared from plain sight.

"And your death will be the first one."

~~

"Keep your eyes," Y/N pushed Itachi away. "I don't want you suffering through the curse of the Sharingan any longer. I don't plan on living long anyway, just until Sasuke comes back for revenge, I'll let him kill me."

"We're in the bingo book," He tossed it to her. "Famous indeed. S-class. If seen, run away? Damn, they're not even going to try. As for the Sharingan, wouldn't it make more sense to upgrade to the eternal instead of going blind?"

"Tsk fine! I just didn't want to go through the whole process of it, we need a medic."

"Sasori." They both agreed.

A Few Days Later.

Y/N removed the bandages from around her head, and she blinked, feeling a different level of power within her.

Itachi turned to her. They shared a room together.

"How do you feel?"

She activated her Mangekyo sharingan and examined the room before meeting his eyes.

"Different. You?"

"Different."

Y/N hummed.

"Lord Third knows we're meeting him. He'll be at the location he gave us," Itachi informed Y/N. "He's going to be disappointed in you."

"There's no changing what happened, what's done is done. Again, it could've been avoided in many ways, but he chose to be himself."

...

"I know there is something you both want to say to me. We are quite alone here."

Y/N and Itachi kneeled down behind Lord Third.
"We appreciate your discretion."

"First, you have my thanks. Secondly, I'm highly disappointed in you, Y/N." She prevented an eye roll from occurring. "However, your actions have averted civil war within the Leaf. We've maintained peace despite all odds."

"Yes..."

"But even so, I sincerely regret that there was no other way to achieve it."

"I apologize, Lord Third," Itachi said.

"I'm the one who should apologize. You both will be branded as rogue ninjas who slaughtered their entire clan and are now listed in the Bingo Book as fugitives, dead or alive. Y/N, the next Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, is now a rogue shinobi. Itachi, ex-Anbu of the Hidden Leaf, is now a rogue shinobi."

"Of course."

"What will you do now?" Lord Third asked.

"We've found aid from a group named "Akatsuki." We intend to stay close to them in order to make sure a promise is not broken," Itachi said for the two.

"You're going to join the Akatsuki?"

"Lord Third, will you make a promise to us that you will continue to protect our younger brother, Sasuke?" Y/N asked.

"Your youngest brother will stay in the academy and grow up to be a Hidden Leaf Shinobi. I cannot guarantee that I'll erase the hatred that he is bound to harbor for you both, once he learns what you have done. He will be living with Kushina and her son."

"I plan to bear that hatred," Y/N bowed. "Leave it to me."

"Now go, if you two ever decide to come back and see Sasuke, must you worry about him. I'll leave the formula jutsu for the barrier unchanged. The opportunity for either of you to sneak back in and check on him, undetected."
