Chapter 1: The Contidtion
Dagger sharp glares were exchanged all around the battlefield.
Ten, twenty, thirty. Humph. This is nothing.
I'm Kasumi Kai. I have the sharingan in my left eye, and a bloodline limit of creating and controlling natural disasters, called the Dai Sanji, in the right. I'm the only kunoichi alive that has 2 kekkai genkai and I guess that's why the Akatsuki wanted me. But why give me a partner? I'm strong enough to handle myself. I honestly don't get why they give me Itachi but, I know he is hiding something. I can feel it in my bones, and I want to find out what it is. My curiosity surprisingly took the best of me, and it's the only reason I didn't complain. The desire to find out what was hidden behind those red sharingan eyes persuaded me into staying willingly. I have no idea what he's hiding but, hopefully, one day he'll share it with me.
"Hah. I got this. Kay, Itachi?" I said, making sure he wouldn't interfere. All I got back was a cold stare, confirming that he understood but he kept his sharingan on.
Ugh. I said I got this!
The pupil of my right eye suddenly changed colors into a bright yellow and I was caught in a mesmerizing trance. The sky roared, and clouds started to rapidly form out of thin air. At first they were white, then the clouds transformed into a smoky gray. I drew my index finger down, then directly in front of me. I turned my body gracefully in a circle, making sure every one of our enemies that circled us was a victim. I wasn't going to leave anyone out.
I opened my eyes, made the final hand sign and whispered, "Go."
In an instant, every enemy shinobi was smoking and charred black, lying dead on the hard packed dirt.
Humph. Serves them right.
Finally, I could see Itachi's coal black eyes as my eyes returned to the usual shade of blue in the right, and green with brown flecks in the left.
"Good work. Hopefully the scroll wasn't burned." He said, apparently not impressed at all by my performance.
'Good work'? That's it? Guess he doesn't know true talent.
" Don't worry. I got it right before the lightning touched it. My awesome super-fast-transportation jutsu totally came in handy." My mouth formed a grin as I bragged about myself. Then, I flipped the scroll in the air and caught it.
It had a moss green outline and the character for shadow was scribbled upon it. The scroll was pretty thick, and the writing was a little faded.
Must be pretty old. I wonder what Leader-sama wants with this.
"Hah." He grinned back, and we both started to fix ourselves up. Well, I did. I had to put my katana back in its sheath, and I had to dust myself off. After that, we both started to walk away together from the clearing and back toward the hideout.
" Itachi." I spoke as we were walking.
" Yes, Kasumi?" His black eyes never moved toward me, even for a second. They remained focused on the dirt path leading to the hideout.
" Can you tell me what you are hiding?" I asked, curiously and innocently.
"What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything." He denied.
He's making this really hard, huh? Still doesn't trust me after being his partner for a year.
"Sure, sempai. Keep telling yourself that." I pouted, disappointed.
"Okay, fine. I admit it. I'm hiding something but, before I tell you, I have one condition to be met." He finally looked at me.
I guess 'sempai' works.
"What is it Uchiha?"
"You must kill someone for me."
