Itachi's Black-Hearted Cotton Jacket

What if Itachi had a daughter, and she transmigrated back to Konoha in Year 54, one year before the clan massacre?

What would happen?

When Sakuya first met her father, she caused quite a stir at the clan head's home.

The Uchiha clan head and his wife were horrified. They thought their just-turned-twelve-year-old son had gotten some girl pregnant, and now she had come right to their door!

When Itachi heard about it, he was at a loss too. The usually composed and reserved boy finally broke character, hurriedly assuring his parents that he was innocent.

"Father, are you planning to deny your responsibility?"

The four-year-old girl had black hair and black eyes. Her face was eight parts like his own when he was young, but she wore an expression he had never shown.

Beneath her damp lashes, her pitiful dark eyes held a faint, barely perceptible glint of cunning.

"Sakuya had such a hard time finding you, Father, and now you won't acknowledge her. Is there something about Sakuya you don't like? Sakuya can change..."

She looked utterly sincere, her eyes brimming with tears.

Mikoto finally couldn't hold back. She picked up the little girl, who was sobbing so hard she looked like a rain-soaked pear blossom, then shot a fierce glare at her eldest son, kneeling across from Fugaku.

Itachi: "I..."

Itachi's father: "You, be quiet!"

Itachi was suffering, but there was no way to clear his name.
