A casual shrug from Sasuke before he continued, "You lead everyone to believe you were dead. Shodaime passed the reigns over to his brother, who in turn created the Konoha Police Corps. to be run by the Uchiha. As time passed, the clan got smaller and smaller.
Eighteen years ago, for me, Kyuubi attacked Konoha. You said that it wasn't you, and the Uchiha were suspected of the attack anyway. Yondaime died in the attack, leaving Sandaime to be Konoha's Hokage once more.
Needless to say, the clan didn't like this, and they were quickly growing tired of the suppression Konoha had them under. In the end, my father started planning a coup d'état. My brother was used as a spy on the village, when in reality he was a double agent. He's a pacifist, thanks to the Ninja War that occurred a year before my birth.
Itachi tried to smooth things over, tried to get the two sides to come to an understanding to avoid civil war. It wasn't meant to be. Sometime during negotiations, I assume, Itachi was the only one to figure out that you were still alive, somehow. Negotiations failed, and the clan was ordered to be eliminated. When that happened, Itachi sought you out. He asked for your aid in the task, in which you got what you wanted in your revenge on the clan, with a promise that you wouldn't touch Konoha.
When I was seven years old, I came home one night late from training, only to find bodies along the street. In a panic, I hurried to my home, only to find our parents had already been killed by my own brother. I was the only survivor that night, and since that night and until a year ago, Itachi played the role of the bad guy, wanting me to grow up hating him, to train until I obtained my own Mangekyou." Sasuke shook his head lightly, pausing when he realized he had gone off on a tangent.
"After the Uchiha Massacre, Itachi joined your organization, Akatsuki, where he has been ever since. I have no clue what you wanted to accomplish by attaining all nine of the bijuu, and I don't really care either."
