An Uchiha's Love.

Summary:

“Don’t stop me Itachi, if you’re my friend…”

“Shisui!"

In one world, Uchiha Shisui jumped and Itachi couldn’t save him. In another world, Uchiha Itachi lunged after him. A story in which Uchiha Itachi turns his back on Konoha, his clan, bundles up little Sasuke, an injured Shisui and leaves the Leaf for good. A story in which Itachi chooses to hold on to what's more important and dear to him, his little brother and best friend rather than the village.

(Or Itachi and Shisui leave Konoha and find family along the way. The fact that their new family contains powerhouses is irrelvant).

Notes:

This is a crazy idea and my mind will not let me rest until I write it out. Honestly I have so many issues with canon, I want to take a hammer to it! Especially with the shitcluster that is the Uchiha Clan!

This thought won't leave me like what if Itachi decided to be like "Bye bye Konoha" and just do the right thing (like raising Sasuke away from the entire toxicity of the village) and just let everyone else deal with their utter shitshow because his pacifist soul does not want to hurt anyone. (Like the Uchiha Clan wants to blow things up and go have a civil war. Go do that but ITACHI IS OUT! He has left the chatroom! Like Fugaku, you wanna riot, you do it on your own sir).

I have this vision where he'd take little Sasuke and just run! Because the whole Massacre thing... Nope. Also Shisui living is a thing I feel strongly about. He deserves more. Hence, here we are.

I don't have many plans for the political side of things. Itachi did pull off being a missing-nin at 13 so I believe he can do it successfully (even with baby Sasuke with him)! I wouldn't say its plot driven but mostly character driven. There will be loads of fluff planned. What's plot? This is strictly fluff and family and a microscopic bit of angst. My other works are so DARK, tragic and angsty that I NEED to write something wholesome to preserve my own sanity. Well.....here we are.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: The Prologue

Chapter Text

I.

 

 

"If I die, several circumstances will change," Shisui spoke quietly.

 

The renowned Uchiha genius stood at the edge of the cliff. His body was battered and heavily injured. The wind blew through his curly dark locks and he turned his body towards his cousin and best friend. Itachi watched in silence, his heart hammering in his chest as a feeling of trepidation engulfed his entire form. A small resigned smile slowly spread on Shisui's face as he gazed towards him with unseeing eyes. Shunshin No Shisui closed his hollow eyes and took a step back, the faint smile stretching further as the blood continued to gush down his pale face.

 

"I've left behind a note already." He spoke in a solemn tone.

 

Itachi watched in silent horror. His black eyes widened as he understood his best friend's intentions. He shook his head in a silent plea, forgetting that Shisui could no longer see him. He released a startled breath understanding the finality of their meeting. His heart plummeted down to his stomach and he outstretched a shaking hand to his cousin, his expression pleading and saturated with grief.

 

No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no!No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No no no no no no! No!

 

He stepped forward, his hand reaching forward desperately.

 

"Wait, Shisui!" He cried out, his voice broken and terrified.

 

Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!Please please please!

 

 

"Don't stop me Itachi," Shisui spoke firmly. If you're my friend...

 

 

Itachi felt his body move on an instinctive impulse, a need to savesavesave permeating through his entire form. Rushing forward on desperate legs, he watched as Shisui stepped back, his arms stretched wide, as if he was embracing his own death peacefully as he began to tip backwards. Itachi moved forward desperately, lunging for his best friend as he began to plummet to his death. The Uchiha Heir grabbed the cuff of his best friend's shirt and they both tumbled down into the darkness.
