Background History:Uchiha Itachi is the eldest son and heir of the main Uchiha branch. Or, was once.
His childhood had been, as far as Itachi could remember, pleasant. It had been consumed with the fire of knowledge that Itachi's father had lit underneath him and kept kindled with praise, expectation, and familial responsibility. It hadn't left the young man with much time for playing or friends-though he kept a few in his early years. What he did have was the constant, steady weight that his father pressed onto his shoulders, the unwaivering love of his mother, and the admiration of his younger brother.
It would be his brother, specifically, that haunted Itachi for many years. He had doted on his brother, loved him greatly and unconditionally-as siblings often do. Sure, there had been tussles-they were brothers-but Itachi had never felt anything less than adoration and, at times, envy for the young Sasuke who, it seemed to Itachi, had time for friends, for playing, for being a child.
As Itachi got older, his repsonsibilities got heavier and he shouldered into them with unquestioning obediance. Because it was his duty-or, atleast he felt so.
And then, as quiet and unobtrusive as the first falling leaf in autumn, came the massacre. Itachi had been home at the time and his eyes and mind had locked the incident into his psyche so vividly that, even many years later, he could recall the reflection in his mother's eyes in that last, fatal moment.
The people involved had taken him-Itachi never knew why they had, what their motivation had been,but, after a while, he didn't care. He could remember, through a blur of what he assumed to be sleeping pills, catching a snippet of the news on the television while in a hotel room about his parent's bodies being discovered.
After that, however, his contact with the outside world was cut off. He was shuttled away with these people via boat and moved into a large house in the country. Television, telephones, anything that might have allowed him to get away was taken from him. He saw little of other people during his years in that house but he was given books to keep him busy so he read. Often. And reread. His thirst for knowledge was never stiffled though he did not attend school. He taught himself a second language (which many of the books came to him in) and continued his studies in his own way-reading what he could, testing the boundaries of his confines when it was safe, teaching himself piano in the basement of the home to soothe his mind when books could not.
He was told quite early on that his brother had also been killed and he had believed that after seeing his parents murdered. He never questioned it. What reason did he have to?
