Ch. 1
Nothing. Darkness. That's all he saw as he turned his head to look at his surroundings. He walked but he never reached a point of end. He stomped his foot but it felt as if nothing were there for the impact, as if he were floating. He kept moving forward, walking towards nothing, but stopped when he felt a presence in the darkness.
He looked around and saw the shadow of a figure, but could not see his face or any distinctive features. The figure motioned him to walk towards him.
He took a step back away from the figure but then he felt his own body betray him and began walking towards it. He tried to stop himself but could not, and even though something out of the ordinary that he did not know of was happening, he did not fear it. It was actually quite the opposite, the closer he got to the figure, the less he decided to struggle. He felt warmth, peace and serenity when standing in front of the figure and yet he could not tell why.
All he saw now was a kind smile coming from the figure as he stood aside and motioned him to walk through, what seemed to be a portal of some type. He looked at the figure with a questioning look, but then the figures smile dropped and they both felt an other presence.
He looked away from the figure and saw a second figure running towards them, but this one felt the complete opposite of the one beside him. This new figure felt like destruction, rage, coldness and his body was telling him to run, to get away, but before he could react the figure next to him yanked him by the arm and tossed him into the portal.
As he was tossed in the portal, he saw the two clash in a grapple, and heard a vile screech coming from the second figure who tried to reach him but could not. He looked at the figure who tossed him in the portal, and once again saw a small smile as he spoke. Even though he could not hear what he had said, he was able to read his lips.
"Live"
...
In the middle of the woods there was a tall girl with long blue hair, she wore a mask that covered the top half of her face, she wore a white sleeveless jacket, a sleeveless black hood and black pants, finger less gloves, metal foot guards and boots was making her rounds around the area she was assigned as the wind picked up and she heard a the rustling of leaves then a large crash.
The girl ran towards the crash, her gun in hands as she came to a stop when she spotted an unconscious boy leaning against the trunk of a tree. She slowly moved closer to get a better look as the boy began to stir.
The boy looked to be around 16 years old, he had long jet-black hair, his face framed with centre-parted bangs that extended past his chin and had long pronounced tear-troughs. He wore a black shirt under a white flak jacket, he had arm guards and black pants. What had caught her attention was the ninjato strapped on his back.
She assumed he had been sent to assassinate her and the others as she pointed her gun at him and as she was about to shoot the boy, her eyes widened when the boy had disappeared and then felt cold metal pressed against her throat.
"Who are you and where am I?" He asked
"I should be the one asking the who the hell you are?" The girl growled but then felt the cold metal cut through her skin "Fine! We're on the continent of Sanus, south from the Kingdom of Vale."
'Sanus? Vale?' He thought as he loosened his grip slightly "I'm not going to kill you, just lower your..." he looked at the object in her hands "...weapon? and slowly turn around."
The girl felt the cold from the metal being removed from her skin as she did what she was told and slowly turned around to face him as she noticed his dark onyx eyes.
"Now let me ask you this, why were you going to kill me?" He asked eyes narrowed
"You humans are the enemies and you were sent here to kill us! So of course I had to kill you first."
"I have no intentions of killing." He replied as she growled and barked at him that he was lying.
He noticed that she wasn't completely human, barely noticeable gills on her face and sharp teeth that reminded him very much of a certain blue skinned man.
She glared at him, his face was unreadable and he barely made any movement, she looked at her gun on the ground then back at him as her eyes widened when his eyes had changed from his onyx colored to a crimson red with three tomoe which spun.
After a few seconds she saw him turn around and started walking away from her. She took this chance and picked up the gun and pointed it at him, but didn't shoot.
"Isane Cerulean, 30 years old, a Faunus from menagerie." He stopped walking and glanced at her "Affiliated with the White Fang, formerly an Activist group turned terrorist." Her eyes widened as his red eyes felt like they were piercing her "You have not killed, but those at your base are not as innocent as you, now put that weapon down and leave."
Her hands trembled. "How and what do you know about me?! And what are you going to do to the others?!" She shouted
"You're a kind person, you don't want to keep fighting, you want out and I'm giving you the way out." He said and walked away "As for the others, I will not kill them, but they will have to face the crimes for taking the life of the innocent."
And with that he was gone. She dropped her gun and fell to her knees.
...
He was standing on a tree branch looking down at the small group who wore the same uniform as the girl from minutes ago. He watched their patterns for a few seconds, counting how may there were, and the easiest way to take them down without a fight and hopefully no bloodshed as the light of the moon slightly lit a few areas he would avoid.
He jumped onto a tree branch above two of the members as he dropped down onto them, smashing their faces into the ground knocking them out cold as he dragged their bodies behind a bush and he crouched and stealthily moved behind a tent.
He waited for a few seconds as one walked around the tent and was pulled down and held in a choke hold as he dropped his weapon and was slowly losing consciousness. He dragged the body away from view and sat the goon leaning on a tree.
He then quietly made his way to a tent where most of the goons were. He had time to take them out before two other goons made their way back towards the campsite. He could see the figures of at least five in there due to the light from inside the tent. He opened the tent slightly as all the figures were looking at some map on the back wall of the tent, that they did not notice him enter.
He walked up to the table and put out the flame of the candle as he hit one of them in the back of the neck and grabbed two other and slammed their faces into each other.
"What the hell?!"
"Intr-"
A goon tried shouting but was silenced when he was punched in the gut then kneed in the face before getting a shop to the back of the head. That left one as he easily evaded a punch and grabbed the goons outstretched arm and with his own as he put pressure on it, causing it to break then a quick jab to the neck before slamming his face into the table.
He looked around seeing the unconscious bodies around him. He walked out of the tent and gathered the other bodies and threw them into the same tent as he heard two voices coming from the woods. He hid in a different tent as the two goons walked onto the campsite.
"Where is everyone?"
"Probably lazing off, those lazy bastards."
They snickered as walked past the tent but one was grabbed and pulled into the tent where he was being choked until he ran out of air and fell unconscious.
"Yeah, those-" The goon turned around when he didn't hear his friends snickering "Larry?" He looked around "Okay, haha, so funny."
Nothing, but then he saw a shadow swiftly appear before he was sent to the ground by a kick to the side of the head and the impact of his head hitting the ground knocked him out.
"They were all simple goons." He then looked at a tree "Isn't that right, Isane?"
The girl from before slowly walked out from behind the tree and looked at the man on the ground.
"He's alive, they all are."
Isane looked at the boy. "Who are you?"
He walked past her. "Will you guide me to the nearest town?"
"Aren't you going to answer me first?" Isane asked
"If you help me, I will help you." He replied as she watched him but then slowly nodded "My name is Itachi."
Isane snickered. "Who names their kid, Weasel?!" She laughed
"Apparently, my parents." Itachi replied
Isane smirked as she walked next to him. "Are you just going to leave them here?"
"I will tip off the local authorities, while you leave safely."
Isane glanced down at him as she was taller than him and smiled.
...
True to his word, Itachi tipped off the local authorities about suspicious men in the woods a short distance from their location, but not before buying Isane some new clothes with the money he had take from the goons. After Isane had changed into civilian clothing and thanking him, she left and he was currently walking through the streets as some of the civilians eyed him.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror and decided he needed some new clothes as well, noticing that his Anbu uniform was somewhat identical of those of the White Fang. Itachi walked into a clothing store and bought some black jeans, black shirt and a black jacket. He was about to leave the store when he saw a black cloak with a hood which he was missing from his Anbu uniform other than his mask.
What Itachi had noticed earlier as well, was that his vision was clear, he did not feel any strain in his eyes and he felt like he did before he had gotten the disease that weakened him back in the Elemental Nations. Itachi looked up at the moon as he walked into a dark alleyway before jumping up onto the rooftop and sitting down.
He would have to sleep on the rooftop tonight as he did not want to waste the rest of the amount of money he had taken from the goons. It wouldn't be a problem for him as he could easily adapt and had usually spent his nights leaning against a tree when he worked for the Akatsuki.
He had much to learn about this world as he only learned the small amount from Isane's mind. The library was closed as it has gotten a bit late so he would have to wait until morning when they opened.
An other thing he was wondering was, how did he end up here? The last thing he remembered was his battle with Sasuke. Sealing the Amaterasu into Sasukes' eyes and putting a seal on one of Sasukes' in case the masked man who proclaimed to be Madara tried to make contact with his little brother.
...
The next morning, Itachi was in the library walking through the different aisles of books. Once he had found the books he had been looking for, History, Geography, Politics, anything that he thought he would need to know about this world he was in, he stacked and placed on a table near the back of the library, where he sat and read through them.
It hadn't taken him long to read through it all, with or without his Sharingan, he easily learned and memorized the key points that he believed he needed to know. He learned about the past war between the Four Kingdoms, called the Great War, which after it had ended the Four Kingdoms met on an island called Vytal and negotiated and finally declared peace. He learned about the Huntsman Academies, the closest to him at the moment being Beacon in the Kingdom of Vale, while Shade in the Kingdom of Vacuo was to the West, Haven in the Kingdom of Mistral to the East, and finally Atlas in the Kingdom of Atlas towards the North.
These Huntsman Academies were dedicated to training future Huntsmen and Huntresses, which were warriors tasked to defend the Kingdoms from the Grimm. If anything it reminded him about the Ninja Academies, training to be the future Shinobi to protect their villages.
Itachi had paused while reading about the creatures of Grimm. Creatures that were made to destroy and were the main enemy of both the Humans and Faunus. Creatures with no souls, and are unable to use the power called Aura, which is the manifestation of one's soul in this world.
Did Itachi have this Aura? He did not know, but what was puzzling him at the back of his mind was if he was still able to use his Ninjutsu. He was able to use his Sharingan, so he concluded that he still had Chakra, but will he be able to perform previous ninja arts that he had mastered? He decided he would find out when he left the town and began his journey.
After having read the book, he stood and placed the books back exactly where he had grabbed them from. He grabbed his bag as he walked passed the lady at the counter who bid him a good day.
...
One year later
Itachi sat on a branch of tree looking down at the disappearing bodies of the grimm he had just taken down. They resembled something close to wolves and even though their number were great, they were easy to read and were no match for him. He looked towards the back of the dying grimm called beowolves as he saw one last survivor of the lot. He jumped down from the tree his feet landing on the soft white of snow as his black cloak settled down in place, the hood over his head and a white mask over his face.
He watched as the last beowolf charged towards him. Itachi took a few steps forward before charging into a run. When the two had reached the midpoint the beowolf jumped and swiped it's large claw at him, but Itachi simply past him. The two were looking opposite directions as Itachi swiped his blade in the air before placing back into his robe and the beowolf behind him split in two before died in black smoke.
Itachi walked through the snow as he heard gun shots and could sense a single persons aura. He ran through the snow until he jumped onto the trees and began leaping from branch to branch. He came to a stop at the last tree before reaching a large clearing where he saw the bodies of beowolves dying before disappearing in black smoke. And the cause of the many dead grimm, was a single form which seemed to be a girl a year or two younger than he.
She was fair-skinned, she had black hair with dark red at the tips that was at neck-length and from what he could see, she also had silver eyes. She wore a long sleeve battle skirt with a thick blousey belt with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves,a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and around the skirt also had a red trim. She wore black stockings with black combat boots with red laces. What grabbed his attention was her weapon which was a large crescent shaped red with black trims Scythe, which she either used to cut her opponents or shoot them with what he made out to be the sniper rifle of the Scythe.
He wanted to help the girl but it looked like she could handle herself as he watched her use the recoil of the shots accelerating her speed and even sending her into the air before she came down with a fury of slices. And even if he wanted to help, he had other things to take care of as a second person appeared next to him.
Itachi looked at the man who was taller than he. He wore a black vest under a black leather jacket with white on the shoulders and half way down the top half of the sleeves, he had black pants and black combat boots, but what was the most noticeable of his features was the red hood of the jacket he had over his head as he wore a red helmet making it unable to see his face.
He looked at the display the girl was showing as he turned around. "Let's go, we have a job." He said
Itachi nodded, but before they jumped away from the area, he looked at the girl one last time. 'Maybe I should get a weapon of my own.' He thought.
The girl had finished her fight with the beowolves as she looked towards the trees where she had thought she felt a single person there watching. She shrugged as a smile adorned her face and her Scythe changed to a more compact and easier to carry around form that she strapped the the back of her belt.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed! This chapter is going to be to test the waters I guess you could say. If people enjoy it then I'll keep working on this one. Let me know, if you would like Itachi to keep his Ninjutsu or should he be without it and only have his Sharingan abilities, Genjutsu, and of course his Taijutsu. Should I add more characters from Naruto? For Friends or Foes? Or would you like to see a character from a different series? Should he build a team or go solo? Let me know what you all think and I'll give it all some thought. Thank you for reading this first chapter! See ya! Buh-Bye! :D
