Itachi's POV
'1...3..5..10 of them. 10 ninjas following me.' I counted, as their chakra signatures came within range. 'I must keep them from following me.' I thought suddenly as I came to a stop. "Come out. I know all of you are there." I called out calmly. Shortly after I spoke those words the large group of ninjas appeared form their hiding places. "Only as expected from the great Itachi Uchiha, of the Uchiha clan." A man who I assumed to be the leader of the group said. "What do you want. I have a very important task at hand and I don't have time for nonsense." I said staring at the man. His eyes screamed blood lust, as did the rest of his group. "Your head on a platter. Today you die kid. Your gonna pay for what you did to our leader." The man said grinning evilly. He snapped his fingers and the other ninjas started to approach me, as I activated my Sharingan.
"I don't have time for this.." I said while sighing in agitation. I would surely miss the Akatsuki if this took too much time. They attacked with their kunai's in hand, but I avoided easily, jumping high into the air. I pulled out a string of kunai knives and threw them at the ninja below, then throwing them at their leader. '4 wounded. 1 dead. Others unharmed.' I thought to myself. Then there was an enormous surge of chakra through out all of them. 'What?' I thought to myself. "Your gonna pay for that kid! Die!" The man yelled as he hit the ground with his fist. The ground crumbled beneath me and I had to jump in a tree to escape.
He then hit the tree though and the tree broke in half immediately. I flew through the air but 3 of the ninjas grabbed me and tackled me to the ground. 'Damn it.. I couldn't see them, and couldn't even feel their presences.' I thought angrily to myself. I then noticed they had stabbed me in my chest, arm, lower leg, and back when they had tackled me. "Pick him up." The leader said sternly. 3 ninjas did as he said and pulled me up off the ground harshly. 'What do I do. I cant use Mangekyou because my chakra is so low from all this blood loss. And they have me tied down with ninjas like cowards. What do I do..' I thought to myself. "Goodbye Itachi Uchiha. And good riddance. Men… we will finally have our revenge!" He yelled out. The ninjas were silent though as I stared at the leader.
"Die!" He yelled, prepared to hit me with an enormous amount of chakra in his fist. Suddenly though there was a flash of silver and a girl was in front of me, holding the mans fist with her own bare. "Who the hell are you! Don't interfere if you don't want to die girl!" He yelled angrily. The girly lifted her head up and stared at the man with a calm look in her eyes. Then she reached behind her back and drew her katana, and put it to his neck. "You will let him go, or you will die. It's your decision. And either one will make me happy." She said smiling at the man.
"Why you little.." The man couldn't say anything more though because the girl punched him, causing him to fly through a tree. "Boss!" the ninjas holding me yelled. She then turned and faced the ninjas holding me captive and stared at them. "Will you defy me as well?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. The ninjas let go of me, causing me to collapse, and attacked her but she avoided them easily, and gracefully. She danced gracefully around the men hitting their kunai's away with her katana and smiled, laughing sometimes at their attempts. She then easily stabbed them in their chest and watched as they collapsed. She hadn't hit any vital parts in their system, I could tell from a glance, but they were seriously wounded.
She then turned and approached me, leaning down and smiling softly. "It's all right now. Your safe, Itachi Uchiha." she said, examining my wounds. I stared at her, taking in her features. She had long silver hair and had spring green eyes, and wore a short dark blue kimono with lavender and periwinkle ribbons and sashes tied around it. "What is your name?" I asked quietly. "Sayuna." she said, smiling down kindly at me. Then darkness filled my line of vision as I blacked out. "Sayuna.." I said quietly. It was a nice name.
