Pairing: Itachi. This story won't be lighthearted, and sacrifices are inevitable.
The Uchiha had a princess.
Uchiha Mingyue.
Whenever members of the Uchiha clan saw her, they would bow slightly and respectfully address her as Princess Mingyue.
Like all Uchiha, she had black hair and black eyes, and there was nothing particularly distinctive about her appearance. But her talent for visual jutsu was unmatched: she awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at just five years old.
The birth of a peerless genius in the Uchiha clan was bad news for Konoha, and just as bad for the Uchiha themselves.
The great ninja clans were locked in a web of shifting intrigue. Mingyue's arrival was like a pebble dropped into a still lake, sending ripples across its surface.
Mingyue once thought that if she became strong enough, she could keep the people around her by her side. Later, she realized how naive she had been.
There were many things that strength alone could not solve.
Like her lover, Uchiha Itachi, attempting to flee after defecting from the clan. Like the people around her, coming and going, again and again.
She could only try to improve the future in response to misfortunes that had already happened. She could not change the past.
Later, she saved many people and brought light to countless others. But there was one person, just one, whom no matter how hard she tried, she could never save.
Perhaps that's what they mean when they say that those who are destined to leave will leave, and no amount of pleading can make them stay.
One male lead: Uchiha Itachi. Read with caution: this is very angsty.
The female lead is extremely powerful, practically at the top of the power scale. She will love only Itachi and won't change the plot of his defection, but the Uchiha clan will not be wiped out.
