The real story behind Uchiha Madara

Sasuke: Uchiha Madara's Reincarnation
By: Bloody Hurricane

Itachi's Change

As we all know that during a time span of half a year after Itachi's entry into ANBU, he began to have a sudden change. His speech and action toward the clan became increasingly different by the age of 13.

What event could have marked this change within Itachi?
Why would Itachi suddenly detest the clan?

Scenario

Sometime while on a mission within ANBU, Itachi met Uchiha Madara. At first, Itachi attempted to fight him, greatly undestimating the power of the first ever Mangekyou Sharingan user. Although easily defeating Itachi, Madara noticed that this boy was no ordinary Uchiha. He noticed that Itachi's strength and brillence in battle was somthing that regular Uchiha members did not possess, so he took intrest in Itachi's abilites. He then tells Itachi that if Itachi desires true power, then he will seek the truth of his clan, directing Itachi to the Uchiha Shrine, where the secret of the sharingan can be found.

The Secret

Mentaly distraught by his chance meeting with Uchiha Madara, Itachi wondered how anyone could posess that much power. A power far greater than he, the genious of the Uchiha Clan.

Had he not done everything he could do?

Intrested by Madara's words, Itachi tells Shisui about his encounter, confident about confiding in his best freind. He tells him how Madara told Itachi that if he wanted the truth of the clan, he should go and seek knowledge in the Uchiha Shrine.

Both Itachi and Shisui check the Uchiha Shrine, later that night. What they see is truly astonishing.

The true sharingan, and the Uchiha clan as a whole, is merley a tool of destruction. Uchiha clan members are vessels for a greater power. Only those who fulfil a special terrifying requirement can unlock a true sharingan. He who posesses the true sharingan, the Mangekyou, will eventually lead the destruction of the entire Uchiha Clan

Completly alarmed at their findings, Itachi and Shisui dont know what to do next.

Why had Madara Shown Itachi this?
What did he hope to gain by revealing this to him

"The Path"

That night, both Itachi and Shisui sware that they would take immediate steps to prevent anyone from ever finding out about the true sharingan. To do this, they must keep the secret guarded from the rest of the clan. They called these measure of cautionary steps "the path".

Content that he was doing something to preserve his clan, Itachi thought all was well, until he started questioning himself and his actions.

Is this clan a truly worth this effort?
Could the destruction of the Uchiha Clan be prevented even if people gained Mangekyou?
Was the reason the clan did not gain mangekyou because they were simply scared and weak?

Second Encounter

Eager to confirm if this clan was truly worthy, Itachi tells Shishui to meet him on the outskirts of the clan, where he has met Uchiha Madara before. Itachi wants to ask Madara his own interpretation of the Uchiha Shrine. But he also wanted Shisui's help if anything happend. ( So they both stayed behind and didn't participate in the Celebration that night )

Itachi arrives, but Shisui never makes it. Itachi wonders where Shishui is, but soon after, Madara appears before him.

Madara asks him if he has read the truth. Itachi tells him that he has read it but does not understand it. ( feigning ignorance and avoiding Madara from realising that Itachi had planed to keep the truth from the rest of the clan )

Madara tells Itachi that he was the first to gain the true sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan. He then explains that the Uchiha clan is simply a vessel of his own terrifying power. Through him, the Uchiha Clan was born in the first place. Also, he has lived for many years, and searches for the one person whom is capable enough to handle his power. He who is capable of Madara's power, is the person who will be able to kill him... ( capacity that Itachi soon spoke of )

Next Madara then tells Itachi the very thing that he hoped to avoid. Madara tells him that he knows about Itachi's plan to keep the truth from the clan. Itachi asks Madara why he showed him the truth, to which he explains that he knew Itachi was most capable to handle the truth, and reprimands him for telling Shisui, someone who was far less capable than he. Madara goes on to tell Itachi that he has taken steps to clean up the mess Itachi has caused, and that he, Madara, had killed Shisui earlier on that night.

Hate takes over him, and Itachi attempts to fight Uchiha Madara again. Madara explains that it is futile, and then uses Tsukiyomi on him, making him relive Shisui's death firsthand, for the next 24 hours. Itachi's hatred towards himself, Madara, and the clan together, has awakend somthing special, Madara explains. The Mangekyou sharingan.

Itachi's Realization

The net day, the Uchiha Police Force, comes and questions Itachi about Shisui's death. Itachi, who knows exactly how his best freind has died, takes great offense to this. When given the supposed suicide note that Shisui had written, which says:

So he knew, Itachi thought. And to add insault to injury, he attempted to frame him with this note that he had copied with his sharingan.

Why was this happening to him?
Why couldn't the clan see what was going on udner their noses
Why had he invested all this time into the preservation of this clan, only for it to end up like this.

They were simply judging Itachi by how the situation appeared, not realising the truth.

The Mangekyou Sharingan had given him a burst of hatred that he could not avoid no matter how hard he tried to. Uchiha Madara's Influence became evident. With his newly aquired Mangekyou sharingan, he could even hear Madara's voice inside his own head, trying to dictate his actions.

Itachi, stil under Uchiha Madara's evil influence, thinks that the Uchiha Clan was headed no where. All sharingan users were only tools of destruction by Uchiha Madara. After that, Itachi exploded, Confronting all his inner thoughts.

The Uchiha Clan was afraid..afraid of what might happen with power that they should be entitled to. They were afraid, because they were weak. Itachi then questions how someone can be afraid when they dont understand what will happen.

Hatred, Death, and Reincarnation

Itachi struggled to overcome his hatred and overcome what was going on. But he couldn't. Madara, still inside his head, tells Itachi that he must kill the clan, because they are unworthy of his power. But Itachi's will was strong.. he soon rejected Madara's influence. Madara then tells him that with all the time he has invested in Itachi, it turned out that He was unfit to weild the Mangekyou Sharingan. There was only one other person who was worthy of that power, and it was Uchiha Madara himself.

But this triumphant rejection of Evil was short lived. When Itachi Uchiha arrived back home after his Anbu mission, he was emotionally crumbled. Madara had killed the entire clan. He was sure it was him. It had to be.
While Desperatly trying to search for Madara, and avenge his clan, Itachi spotted his brother, Sasuke Uchiha. Why hadn't Uchiha Madara killed Sasuke? Even though Sasuke was at his academy classes, If Madara wanted to erradicate all the weak Uchiha then little sasuke would surley have been killed. And then Itachi remembered everything Uchiha Madara had told him.

Madara then tells him that with all the time he has invested in Itachi, He was unfit to weild the Mangekyou Sharingan. There was only one other person who was worthy of that power, and it was Uchiha Madara himself.

Through him, the Uchiha Clan was born in the first place. Also, he has lived for many years, and searches for the one person whom is capable enough to handle his power.

The only person who was capable of handling Uchiha Madara's power.. was Uchiha Madara himself, he remembered. Sasuke was the token Uchiha suitible enough tp have Mangekyou. All along, it was Sasuke. Sasuke and Uchiha Madara were connected. They were the same. Sasuke, was....... Madara's reincarnation.

Itachi's Goal

Realising this, Itachi noted that even if he did fight Madara Again, he would not be able to kill him. Only Sasuke had the power to kill Uchiha Madara. However.. Sasuke must first get Mangekyou Sharingan. To do this he must commit himself to hatred.. hatred of The Clan, hatred of Itachi, and hatred of himself. Engulfing himself to hating all 3 would unlock the Uchiha Madara's Manegekyou sharingan.
Itachi tells Sasuke how to unlock mangekyou sharingan, thinking that if he is able to kill the closest person to him, then he will be able to completly consume himself with nessacary hatred of Itachi, and he will be able to fulfil the other 2 requirements of the path to gaining Mangekyou. But only one phase can be carried out at one time.

Itachi also, says that Sasuke must gain the MS for "his sake" as well, hinting freedom from Uchiha Madara's Influence.

Itachi tells Sasuke that there are 3 possible MS users, acknowledging Uchiha Madara as the this MS user

So Sasuke learns the truth of the Sharingan, but is unaware that Uchiha Madara is referenced in it.

Sasuke doesn't fully understand the situation

As to what exactly Uchiha Madara is, and how he came to be, I wont go to much into that, because I beleive some of Yasha's theory about him having a connection to Tengu.

I do beleive that Itachi's joining the Akatsuki is another method of trying to rid Uchiha Madara, althought at this time, I wont go to much into that, since that is another theory in its own. I hope you enjoyed the theory.
