The sky went red and the world was black and white. Tori looked around to find herself surrounded by corpses and blood.
"W…where am I?"
"The old Uchiha compound…"
She turned to see Sasuke walking towards her. "What is going on?"
There was a sound of a little boy screaming. They looked to see a young boy with spiky hair running out of a house and down the street.
"No! I don't want to die!" he cried.
Tori looked at him. "We have to help him." She was about to go after the boy when Sasuke put a hand on her shoulder.
"You can't… You don't exist. This…is the past."
The boy was now heading their way when a teenage boy stepped out of a shadow and stood right in front of the younger boy. He had long hair in a ponytail.
The little boy stopped in his tracks, fear shown in his gaze.
"Foolish little brother…" said the older boy. "I am going to spare you…"
"What?" said his little voice.
"If you wish to live: hate me, despise me, and when you are full truly full of hate you will truly be ready. But…" They older boy closed his eyes and opened them again to reveal the Mangekyo Sharingan. "When you have the same eyes as mine, then, and only then, you will be allowed to fight me."
Tori watched in confusion at the scene before her. She turned to Sasuke. "Who are they?"
He slowly turned his head to her. "Tori…I'm that little boy over there."
Her eyes widened slightly. "Huh?"
"It was your uncle Itachi that killed my clan, only sparing my life. I was alone…for a long time." He looked back at the scene. "Life was hell after that. For years I shut everyone out, I wanted loneliness ." He watched as his younger self fell to the ground in agony and his brother walk off. "People only saw me as the last survivor. I trained hard to show I was not weak. I trained only to become strong enough to face my brother. I let my anger and hate for him grow with each passing day…"
Everything around them turned black and another scene unfolded. It was the ninja academy. Outside was a slightly older Sasuke, Naruto, a jounin with a mask covering half his face, and a girl who looked like Akira.
"Then, they came along. My team…the only other people I truly cared for. Naruto was like a brother to me, Sakura was like a sister. My sensei, Kakashi, was almost like a father to me. They were my family... Then, one day, I met him…"
An image of Orochimaru biting Sasuke on the neck appeared through the previous image. Tori grimaced at the scene…Would that happen to her too?
"Orochimaru changed me…cursed me. He told me he could teach me to obtain great power." Tori look at Sasuke as he spoke. "And, one day, after a showdown with my brother, I felt like I was not strong enough. I couldn't even beat him… So, I made my decision… I would train with Orochimaru."
The scene changed to a waterfall, where a demon-like Sasuke was fighting an equally demon-like Naruto.
"But, Naruto would not let me leave so easily. We ended up almost killing each other."The scene exploded and it showed Sasuke being tortured by Orochimaru and Kabuto. He was being stuck with needles, wires, and drinking strange liquid. "I didn't know what I was in for… and they changed me…"
A bright red light exploded and Sasuke was standing over a dead Itachi. "The day I killed my brother was the day I made a mistake… He wasn't the one who killed my clan…" He looked at Tori, who sported a shocked look. "It was another Uchiha…who will not be named… He even got me to trust him and nearly destroy Konoha… I will not tell you anymore… however I will tell you this."He looked her dead in the eye. "He went very painfully. But, I did not do that alone…"
They looked to see the scene change again and show him standing with Naruto, both of them looking as if they were about to collapse. Naruto put his hand forward to take Sasuke's… Sasuke took Naruto's hand and shook it, showing peace.
"Naruto and I finished him together. He brought me back to the village." The scene changed again to show both of them with a younger version of her mother sitting together with her grandfather, Hiashi. "That was when your mother, Naruto, and I were to wed." The scene changed to the wedding day and then to what looked like a battle scene.
"But then, after I thought I killed him, Orochimaru came kidnapped your mother and used her against us." A pregnant demonic Hinata ran at Sasuke, Naruto, and the other ninja , but before Tori could see the outcome , the scene changed once more. "We restrained your mother and brought her back to her senses…however, she immediately started labor and you and Yukio were born. Your mother than went into cardiac arrest and we rushed her back to Konoha where she recovered."
Sasuke waved his hand and the next scene became clear. It showed him standing over a bassinet with a sleeping baby Tori inside. "In order to bring peace to our village and prevent Orochimaru from harming you or Yukio, Naruto, and your mom, I had to make a regretful decision…I had to rejoin Orochimaru."
He looked over at Tori. Her fists were clenched tightly and her head was bowed, covering her eyes from view.
"I never wanted to leave you, your mother or Naruto like that…but the thought of Orochimaru harming you all would have been a worse fate…Don't you see, Tori…I am sorry if I ruined your life…I am sorry that my screwed up life made you so miserable…I never wanted any of this to happen and if I could change the past I would but…"
"Shut up…"
"Tori, I…"
"I said…Shut up!" Tori whipped her head up and glared at Sasuke with teary eyes. "Shut up! Just shut up!" A white light shot through the area.
Suddenly, the sky faded back to blue and the area back to normal. They were back on the training grounds. Sasuke was now standing over a hunched over Tori, who was in pain.
Sasuke watch his daughter rock back and forth, hyperventilating. He bent down behind her and hesitantly, wrapped his arms around her.
Tori felt warmth surround her. She then turned to look at him. Their eyes locked, Sharingan to Byakugan. The next thing she knew everything went black.
