Scarred By: Katie Uchiha
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto……….but I DO own Itachi :3
It was a normal sunny day and Itachi was walking through the forest. Kisame had died and the leader had told him to go find a new partner.
"Why do I have to find my partner…why couldn't he have just assigned me a new one?" he wandered aloud.
Just as he finished speaking a small red and black tiger jumped out of the nearby bushed and started sprinting towards a small lake on the other side of the road. It was soon being chased by a boy that was about his age who was wearing a white button-up shirt, baggy jeans, and he had a pair of orange headphones around his neck.
Itachi's eyes were glued to the small tiger as it ran closer and closer to the water. 'One, two, three, four, five…six…seven, eight…nine, ten, eleven, twelve…thirteen…' he thought as he counted it's tails. 'Thirteen?! Might this be the demon that the Akatsuki had long been searching for?' he asked himself as he started to sprint off in the direction that the tiger and the boy were headed.
When he finally caught up to them they were arguing.
"You have to come back! The village is in extreme danger!" the boy begged.
"Why would I help them?! The devils who shun me just because I'm a jinchuuriki?!" the tiger retaliated.
"Because they need you Katie! You are the princess of the Village Hidden in the Lava and it's your responsibility to protect them!" the boy yelled.
"Oh yea? You're the prince! Why don't you save their sorry asses?!" Katie shouted back.
They both fell silent as they thought over what had just been said.
"I'm going to live with Illusen, good bye," Katie turned and ran farther into the forest, leaving the speechless boy behind. It was then that Itachi walked out from his hiding place.
"A jinchuuriki…how interesting…" he thought aloud.
The boy stiffened and swiftly turned around to face Itachi.
"W-who are you and what do you want?" he stuttered.
"The tiger…," Itachi stated. "I want the tiger…"
