prologue
"Alright... I guess I'll see you tomorrow then..." Sanama mumbled, her flushed face looking towards the boy in front of her. Ivory light coming from the moon shinned onto Vernsuke's figure, highlighting the soft features of his young face. His hair, a nice black you would see on any other Uchiha, was spiky and reached a bit below his ears.
"Yeah guess so..." Vernsuke huffed and smirked, tucking a stray hair behind Sanama's ear before cooly turning around and heading back to the Uchiha section of the hidden village.
Sanama was first surprised and then giggled while blushing, "I really hope something bad doesn't happen to Vernsuke-kun..." Sanama thought dearly.
Vernsuke jumped from building to building, early shinobi training coming in clutch to prevent him from making any mistakes or sound. He quietly creeped down the last house and prayed nobody had notice absence, sneaking out to see your sneaky link after curfew wasn't exactly... honorable for a pre-shinobi like him. It seemed he wouldn't have to worry about that since the neighborhood was quiet, ghostly even. Vernsuke looked around, shrugged his shoulders and started heading to his house. He put his hands behind his head and tilted his head up without a care in the world.
As he walked, he felt his shoes splash into several puddles. He started thinking, "did it rain today... Yesterday maybe?" he was only a block away from his place when he heard a blood curdeling scream. He wipped his head to the house he was standing in front of, "Was that my 3rd cousin Sasuke twice removed?!" He thought. Vernsuke furrowed his angular eyebrows and slammed the already open door further open. Vernsuke's eyebrows raised just as quickly as they had knotted together. What he saw was shocking to say the least, his 3rd aunt and uncle twice removed lied dead on the floor. Sasuke sat in their blood, his eyes bloodshot, cheeks flushed and stained with salty tears, and mouth agape as he looked at Vernsuke. Vernsuke looked between him and Itachi, who was standing behind the corpses looking back awkwardly and holding a bloody sword.
"... What the hell..."
