Author's Notes: this is told either through Naruto's, Kurama's, and Sasuke's point of view. This story is a Sasu/Naru YAOI (boyxboy love) so don't read if you aren't into those kind of things. I do not own Naruto and/or its characters as they are owned by Masashi Kishimoto. I have gotten this the idea while reading several other familiar fanfiction stories in which Naruto loses his sight so, this is my version of what I think would happen. The only characters I claim to own is the OCC villain, the demon fox, and all of their abilities. Please feel free to leave your comments and reviews telling me what you think as I look forward to reading them.

Ten: the Uchiha's, tales of a cursed clan
SASUKE'S P.O.V.

I had left Naruto in Kiba's capable hands. I was a bit stunned when I saw a three tailed snow white fox come and knock Naruto down to the ground. I have to admit that it was nice to see a genuine smile on Naruto's face and to hear him laugh. According to Kiba, he had found the fox on the way back from a mission to stop a black market ring that was killing animals with many tails. According to Kurama, the nine tailed fox sealed within Naruto, the other tailed beasts much like him could have taken mates before they were sealed away. These mates could bear cubs which would have more than one tail. This cub that Kiba had found would become Naruto's partner much like Akamaru was for Kiba. This fox would be able to help Naruto out during missions and around the village. Naruto decided to name the fox Yohko which happened to be Kurama's sir name since no one truly knew his true name. He was only known as Kyuubi no Yohko. Yohko seemed happy with his new found name and his new owner because there was no doubt in my mind that this fox could sense Kurama whom was sealed within Naruto.

I made my way to the hokage tower. I was determined to change how Naruto is treated by these villagers. Naruto never deserved to be treated like this as he never asked to have Kurama sealed within him. He never asked to be viewed as a monster, not to know the love of a family and/or parents. All Naruto ever wanted was for people to see him as a person. I have to admit that how I treated him in the past was unforgivable but, I was willing to make it up to him. By whatever means necessary. I made my way up to Lady Tsunade's office knocking on the door before I heard a voice telling me to enter. I entered the office to find Tsunade going over paperwork with her assistant Shizune whom was holding Tsunade's pet pig Ton-Ton.
"Ah Sasuke...... How are things with Naruto?" Tsunade asked.
"Things could be better." I stated pretty bluntly causing Tsunade to raise her eyebrows in question. "Naruto isn't the problem but, rather the villagers. I have learned through Naruto that the villagers charge him double and sometimes triple for items. It is done all because of what he has sealed within him. It resulted in his pour and none existent diet, wearing the kill-me-now orange gear, and his rundown apartment that was in a bad section of town." I told her. I could see her fists tighten up at my words. I could easily tell that she was pissed.
"Why didn't Naruto tell either me or Sarutobi about this problem?" asked Tsunade in a low growl.
"You know how Naruto is. He wants to resolve the problem himself. He doesn't want to be treated special but more like an actual human being. He thought that if he showed the villagers that he wasn't a monster and that he wasn't a threat, they would treat him better." Tsunade's hands tighten even more as I could see her knuckles turn white as blood dripped from her palm. She was biting into her lip to prevent her from yelling.

"I want to thank you Sasuke for bringing this to my attention. I have been meaning to talk to you about your clan." stated Tsunade as she looked at Shizune nodding her head. Shizune left the room closing the door. Tsunade got up from her desk and went over to a corner of the room to retrieve a large scroll. On the paper seal sat the Uchiha symbol.
"This scroll was written by your older brother that tells you the very last surviving Uchiha member the truth about your cursed clan. It tells you what truly happened that night and what he had discovered while within the Akatsuki. I feel that you should have it to learn the truth for yourself." I took the scroll from Tsunade bowing my head in thanks.
"Also Naruto took the three tailed fox that Kiba had found as his partner and guide. He named it Yohko." I then explained to her what Kurama had told us.
"I thought as much. Why dodn't you read over the scroll first Sasuke to determine what path you wish to go down. If you still choose to be a ninja of the leaf, comeback here and we will talk some more." stated Tsunade. I nodded my head leaving the hokage tower to go to my clan's secret temple grounds. It was the same place where Itachi learned about the secret of the Mangekyou Sharningan.

I entered the temple grounds placing the large scroll down before biting down onto my fingertips to place my blood onto the Uchiha symbol that held the seal closed. The seal came undone as I unrolled the scroll to see my brother's hand writing as I began to read what he had wrote.
"Sasuke, if you are reading this then it means that I am dead. You have succeeded in achieving your revenge. As the last remaining Uchiha it will be up to you to rebuild our clan. But I feel that as your older brother that you deserve to know the truth about our clans cursed path. The Mangekyou Sharningan will be slowly killing me the more I use it but, I had to gain it in order to be on a very top secret mission for the leaf. You possibly think that I have betrayed you and our clan and killed everyone including our parents. But please believe me when I say that I didn't. I am to join a group known as the Akatsuki to find out what their plans are and why they are after the tailed beasts. I have to become a rogue ninja with considerable power in order for them to even admit me into their group. At the time some of our clan was going to start a cue against the third hokage. The key to start this revolution was to release the seal that holds the nine tails. Basically kill the host whom holds the Kyuubi no Yohko, Naruto Uzumaki. As one of the Anbu, I would at times watch after the young child as he was about the same age as you. But knowing you, you possibly thought that you were too good for the likes of him. Would it sway you if you knew that I would protect him from getting beaten up and sometimes killed by the villagers. That some of us Anbu helped him by arranging for a place for him to live when he was kicked out of the orphanage at the age of four. That this very Naruto is the son of one of your idols, the fourth hokage. No one knows this fact as his true name is Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki. I know how everyone looks at him like he is a monster. But he was the only one who is more than able to hold the Kyuubi and it immense chakra, considering that his mother was its previous container." I could feel the tears beginning to form. I had no clue about any of this. But now that I think about the image of the fourth, Naruto looked almost exactly like him. Even when I met the man, I could see a lot of similarities between the two. "Perhaps I should start from when our clan was first formed." I read on wondering what secrets I was going to learn. "Our clan was one of the descendants to the brother of the sage of six paths. During our path we developed this strong burning desire for power and hatred which gave us the Sharningan. With its power, we can control the Biju, the tailed beasts and copy every jutsu known except for taijutsu and bloodline traits. Madara was driven mad with his lust for power that even after helping create the leaf village and wanting peace with the Senju clan, he was angry that he wasn't chosen to become hokage. That he went and found the Jinchuriki holder whom was Hashirama Senju's first wife, an Uzumaki. Like us the Uzumaki are also the direct descendants to the original sage of six paths. They are about the only ones whom could be suitable hosts for the Biju. When the tailed beasts are ripped out from their host's body, that host dies. Twice the nine tails had been used as a weapon against our village. I wasn't about to stand by and watch them kill an innocent child whom had no clue about the burden he carried. I alerted the hokage about my clan's plans. The elders along with Danzo watched for me to kill every Uchiha within our clan. But the hokage had other ideas. Only allow some of the members to live. Mainly you and our parents. I know what you think you saw that night but, you have to know that I didn't kill them. I may have butted heads with our father but, I could never truly kill him. It was one of the Akatsuki members whom called himself Tobi. But I had learned that this person is actually Obito Uchiha. He killed Naruto's parents by releasing the nine tails on the village. It was for revenge of not being able to save someone he cared for as his mind had been manipulated creating a multiple personality were he thought that he was Madara Uchiha." I remembered the mad crazed man whom tried to destroy everything in order to achieve peace. To create a world a new. But in the end he was only another pawn being used. Both Naruto and I stopped the mad man after he had become the ten tails Jinchuriki. I went back to my reading feeling a bit angry with myself. I never needed to kill my own brother. "I know by now that you are possibly feeling angry and mad with yourself knowing that my death wasn't worth you killing me. But I had to make you strong enough to carry on the Uchiha name and to give you a jutsu that I had achieved along with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharningan. These will help you stop Obito and his plans. The will of fire may not burn within you but, you can still fan the flames that exist within others. The one whom I have seen it the brightest is within Naruto Uzumaki. A kid whom had no clue about his heritage, whom never knew his family, carries a heavy burden that he doesn't know anything about, a young and innocent child whom has great ambitions. I hope that by learning the truth about our clan's dark past, that it may bring you to the path of light. I hope that you will find your way and earn the love and respect from others. I hope that you will find a way to forgive yourself and the leaf for what you have been through. Protect your friends and teammates Sasuke, especially Naruto. If anyone can achieve true peace and change people it is him. Deep within this temple is a secret place that can only be found by using the Sharningan. You can place the scroll there as I had left you our clan's dress robes along with my Anbu mask. I hope that you will find happiness and break our families curse. Please know that I don't blame you for my death in any way shape or form. Know that I always loved you. Please take care of yourself Sasuke."

By the end of the scroll I was literally in tears. I had no clue that my brother went through so much. To the very end he was a true ninja of the leaf. I wiped away my tears activating the Sharningan after rolling up the scroll. I wanted to find the hidden spot to get the items that Itachi had left for me. I found it easily placing the scroll within as I pulled out the Uchiha dress robes that was worn for special occasions. Also there was a white Anbu face mask in the form of a dragon. I held the mask close to my heart.
'I promise you Itachi that from now on I am going to use my skills to protect the one that I care about and this village that you risked your life for. I am going to bring honor to the Uchiha name and break this endless cursed cycle of our clan. Please watch over and protect me like you always did while I was growing up. Please take care of father and mother. Give them my love as I miss you all.' I thought to myself as I gathered up my stuff heading back to the hokage towers before I went to get Naruto.
