Hello! Have you ever wondered what the USA would be like if for some unknown reason the Akatsuki members came to power? Well, it would be quite... interesting.
Each member has their own ideas as to what is the 'proper' way to run a country so they have been given a separate chapter each.
First up, there is Itachi Uchiha. Who knows, that might not be so bad...?
Itachi Uchiha for President of the United States of America.
Acceptance speech:
A mild looking black haired man wearing sunglasses stepped onto the stage.
He looked out onto the crowd and cleared this throat.
So they had made him President.
There was cheering all around and people were going ballistic just seeing their new leader.
He cleared his throat again.
"Hello, citizens of America," he began and the noise died down.
"I am Itachi Uchiha, the new President of the United States of America. I am truly honored to be standing here and I promise that there will be change in this country."
Itachi paused to gaze out into the crowd with determination.
"I will clear this country of evil and violence. There will be peace!"
The mob below him cheered again.
"Thank you for your votes and I personally thank you for each and every one of them. Your loyalty is not wasted for I will bring reward to all those who trusted in me. It is wonderful just having the opportunity to change this land and it will not be wasted. Thank you, America."
The Uchiha stepped back from the microphones and walked off the stage; a wild frenzy of sound exploded behind him and the citizens of America cheered.
First order of business:
Itachi walked into the white house and looked around his new office.
It was quite spacious, but it seemed to light for his liking.
He made a mental note to redecorate later.
"President Itachi," one of his guards spoke up.
"My name is-" he broke off when the Uchiha lifted his hand up in the air as a symbol of silence.
"I do not want to know your names," Itachi stated blankly and walked out of his office, intending to see the rest of his new home.
They followed tentatively, somewhat perplexed by his behavior.
The new president barely gave any of the rooms a glance and instead walked outside into the large yard.
His guards surrounded him in a circle and whenever he took a step they mimicked his every movement.
He sighed. "I do not need your protection."
Suddenly, there was a high pitched scream. "THERE HE IS!"
Itachi's guards pulled out their guns and tightened their human shield around the president. He could no longer see what was going on because he was shorter than his guards, but he could still hear the screaming.
"Itachi-sama~!" the high pitched voices continued to yell and Itachi pushed one of his guards aside to see.
…fan girls?
The poor Uchiha stifled a sigh as he looked out onto the large swarm of girls dressed completely in pink that were parked out in the road in front of his home.
"Take off your sunglasses Itachi-sama~!" they all yelled in unition.
One of the guards gave Itachi a quizzical look. He had just realized that he had never seen Itachi without his sunglasses.
In fact, no one had. The entire worlds had no idea what color the eyes of the president were.
Itachi shook his head and broke out of the guard circle to start walking back into the house.
They jumped up and ran after him; baffled that he had so easily escaped their grasp.
"President Itachi, how did you...?" one of them yelled after him, but they got no response.
It was as if Itachi had walked right through them.
Inside the house, the screaming was less noticeable.
"President Itachi, we can get rid of them, if you wish," another guard spoke up.
"Do as you want," the Uchiha muttered as if the large swarm of girls was merely a pesky spider.
Half of the guard split up and ran to the phones; each calling the US army to get rid of the 'threat.'
Needless to say, not a single fan girl dared venture within a mile of the president's house after that incident.
President's goals:
"President Itachi, we have called this meeting to discuss your goals for the future of this country," the vice-president stated.
The Uchiha nodded and replied, "My goals are simple."
There was a collective silence and no one said another word. Itachi looked at them and did not explain further- as if he expected them to know what he was talking about.
"Could you tell us those goals?" the vice-president continued.
Itachi gazed at his new subordinates and explained, "We will have free medical care like in Canada."
Another long pause.
"Anything else, Mr. President?"
"Yes. I intend to pass a law allowing anyone that commits a crime to be put to death."
This time, the silence was more of shock than anything else.
One of the subordinates laughed. "That was a joke right? Nice one!"
The others chuckled nervously; neither wanting to laugh nor wanting to be silent.
Underneath his sunglasses, Itachi's eyes were narrowed as he said, "That was no joke. I intend to do this and none of you can stop me."
"But Mr. President! No one would vote for that," another subordinate objected.
"Believe me, I have my ways of persuasion," the Uchiha whispered as he activated his Sharingan and suddenly took his sunglasses off to look at everyone.
They gasped but then suddenly said in monotone," Yes. Mr. President. We support you in everything you do."
Itachi put his sunglasses on again and allowed a ghost of a smile on his face.
"Good."
On the news:
"This is a Fox News Breaking Story," the loud voice of the announcer pierced through the early morning peace in the country.
"We have just been informed that a new law has been passed and approved by President Itachi Uchiha."
People groggily wiped their eyes and started intently at the screen.
"The new law is that if anyone breaks a law- no matter how small- they will be put to death!" the announcer emphasized the last word.
"There is an outrage and people have no idea how something so unconstitutional could have been passed!" the announcer kept yelling.
"That means that if you broke a law as of this morning you will die!"
Itachi turned off the big screen television in his bed room.
Those humans really were overreacting too much.
He was only going to kill them if they broke the law so the power to live or die was in their hands.
Plus, with this new system, prisons could be closed down and although that would be bad for people working there, it would free out some money for other more important things.
He turned the TV on again.
"In other news, we now have universal health care like in Canada so while you can't break the law, feel free to break yourself!"
The Uchiha turned the TV off again. Seriously, who wrote all the stuff that the reporter had to say?
His thoughts turned back to his dream of creating a country free of crime. With such steep punishments, he was sure that people would stop the violence.
He had not been kidding when he said that he would bring peace to the country.
Putting his sunglasses back on, Itachi wandered out of his bedroom and was met by his group of guards.
"Good morning President Itachi. Would you like us to make breakfast for you?"
Itachi paused. "You can cook." It was more of a statement then a question.
"Yes. We are very versatile and we can do anything that a man or a woman can do," one of the guards explained with a proud grin.
"Alright. Then make me onigiri with seaweed."
He felt good about all the change he had made so far so he had decided to reward himself with his favorite food- onigiri.
Fifteen minutes later, a large steaming plate of onigiri was in front of him.
How his guards had managed to make it so quickly was a mystery that he never found out.
After breakfast, Itachi checked the news again and he saw the police gathering tens of people and bringing them to a large platform in the center of every town and city in the US.
The phone rang and Itachi picked it up.
"Mr. President! We have people who have broken the law, but we do not know how you intended for them to be put to death."
The Uchiha pondered for a moment before saying, "Hang them and leave their bodies out for all to see for 24 hours. Then take them down and deliver them to their families."
He hung the phone up and stared at the TV screen with determination.
"I want everyone to know the cost of disturbing peace."
What the citizens think:
"Hello sir, could we ask you a few questions?" a young, shy reporter said as she approached one of the many men in the busy New York streets.
The man stopped and gave her a curt nod.
"A-Alright," she stuttered before clearing her throat.
"What do you think about what President Itachi has done for the country?"
The man's face turned sour and he narrowed his eyes. "You wanna know what I think!"
She stepped back a bit, not expecting such a strong reaction.
"That ass is a murderer! Hundreds of thousands of people are dead!" he continued to yell.
"Death to the president!" the man exclaimed once and for all before running down the street.
The young reporter looked back at the camera man beside her.
"Well there you go, folks, that is what some people think of our… beloved… president."
In the white house, the vice president turned off the TV and said, "I told you that passing the law which allowed all criminals to die was a bad idea."
Itachi massaged the bridge of his nose and replied, "I do not need your reminders. Plus, the amount of crime has dropped dramatically. The masses do not seem to be able to comprehend this."
"You could fix this dilemma by abolishing the law," the vice-president pressed onward.
The Uchiha waved him off. "Or, I could go on live television and make a statement."
The room went silent at the idea of the monotone male speaking in front of the entire world.
"Are you sure about that, Mr. President?"
"Trust me, I have a plan."
Less than an hour later, Itachi was standing on a platform with his sunglasses on and dressed in a grey suit with a white tie and black undershirt.
"3…2…1 and live!"
"Hello citizens of America," Itachi began with the calmness of a low tide.
"It had recently come to my attention that you are unhappy with my new law. However, I am going to change that."
He paused and reached up to take his glasses of.
His bright, red eyes make everyone watching gasp and drop what they were doing.
"You now respect my plan and you will wholeheartedly support it."
All across America, everyone watching this, which was on every American channel, stated in monotone, "We respect your plan and we wholeheartedly support it."
Itachi put his glasses back on and walked of the stage.
Problem solved.
What the Akatsuki members thought:
Kisame: "I guess I should have expected Itachi to do something that created peace because he hates violence, but using murder to create peace was a little surprising for me… The whole health care thing was kinda weird too… Um… I guess he did a good job, but he did nothing for the environment."
Pein: "He brought peace and I am happy for that."
Konan: "Itachi wasn't very creative about what he did, but he made peace so just like Pein, I am glad."
Zetsu: "Itachi did great! He made lots of bodies for me to eat. I like bodies…"
Tobi/Madara: "Horrible! Itachi did absolutely horrible! He created peace! Wretched, wretched, wretched peace! The fool! However, I do accept the policy of killing people and leaving their bodies to hang for all to see. The medical care was bad though; he should have gotten rid of all medicine! He was all boring about it too- there should have been rioting and attacking and blood!"
Sasori: "I do not care. He did nothing for my interests."
Deidara: "Nothing got blown up! Nothing! I thought he was a violent criminal- not a quiet little snot… err… Itachi was actually pretty calm all the time… never mind."
Orochimaru: "The murdering was a nice touch and so was the medical care, but he should have made medical testing instead of care. He didn't come out of his house much, either. I wanted to see his beautiful Uchiha face and more of those gorgeous Sharingan eyes."
Hidan: "He killed like a fucking pussy! Hanging- seriously- hanging? No torture or sacrifices! Itachi is a piece of shit."
Kakuzu: "The economy did not improve while he was in power. He did nothing to try and help it out! He should have invested all of his money and increased trade, but instead, he was busy weeding out criminals! Wasn't he supposed to make more criminals!"
To be continued…
That's the end of Itachi's reign as President.
Kisame is next!
