Ch. 1
It was dark, pitch dark, all around was nothing, complete emptiness. Except for one figure in the middle of the dark place. The figure was floating in nothingness, the figure was a person, a person who had lived a life of lies, a life which he sacrificed everything for.
A person who had been forcefully brought back to the living world to fight in a war he wanted no part of. A person whose story was not finished yet.
Said persons eye lids began to move as a memory that was not of his had entered his thoughts.
"Ne, ne ******-chan." A little ****** girl with **** **** eyes said
"What is it ******-chan?" a little girl with long ***** hair and **** colored eyes asked
"When we get older and have kids of our own, do you think they'll be great friends?" The now named ****** asked
"Of course!" ****** shouted "And maybe they'll even get married!"
They two young girls smiled brightly as they intertwined their pinkies.
"It's a promise!" They shouted
.

Said figure's eyes shot open, onyx colored eyes that bleed red with three magatama spinning around the iris. The figure looked around seeing he was back in the emptiness.
"What was that?" The figure said
The figure began to glow as he felt himself being pulled by an unknown force. There was a bright light that blinded him for a second before he felt himself hit something hard.
He opened his eyes as he got up off the ground and looked around seeing that he was now in a forest. He dusted himself off as his eyes widened now noticing that he was smaller. He had been turned back into his twelve year old self, but that was not all.
He was not wearing the Akatsuki cloak he had died in or the cloak he had worn when brought back to life in the war, he was wearing his uniform from his Anbu days, along with the mask strapped to his waist and his ninjato on his back, but for some reason he was fatigued and injured.
Whomever had brought him here had reverted his age and appearance, but they didn't heal his wounds or replenish his stamina and chakra.
The boy walked through the forest trying to find his way out as he heard many voices and in particular a voice of a girl who seemed to be crying for help.
The boy placed his white porcelain mask that resembled a weasel with red marking, over his face as he jumped onto the tree branches and made his way towards the cries of help. He stopped and hid behind a tree as his eyes darted from one person to an other as he found the girl who was crying for help.
"Will you shut the little bitch up already!" One of the men growled "What if someone hears her and we get caught?!"
The girl for some reason felt someone was watching them, she turned and faced towards some trees and had spotted figure behind one of the trees and was about to call out to him for help, but he motioned her to stay quiet by placing a finger over his mask.
"This deep into the forest?" An other man chuckled "There's no one out there, and who's going to be looking for her this deep in the forest?" the man laughed
The boy narrowed his eyes through the holes of his mask. 'I don't have much chakra, and I can't use any offensive style jutsus or I could harm the girl' the boy thought
'I can sense some type of energy within them but it is weak. It does not feel like chakra so something else.' the boy rose his hand into a single hand seal as mist began to spread around the area.
"Hey, what's going on?" A man said "Where's this mist coming from?"
The man looked around, but couldn't see clearly due to the mist as he heard couldn't hear and couldn't smell anything at all.
"Who's out there?!" The man questioned but nothing was heard
"Help me!" a man shouted as his throat was then sliced and blood came pouring out
There were more shouts and pleads for help, but they were all silenced as the last man alive was standing near the girl they had kidnapped. The mist began to clear as he looked around seeing the pile of dead bodies and blood all over the area that made him want to throw up now being able to smell the high concentrated amount of blood in the air, then a figure of appeared walking towards him. Said figures eyes were red as the tomoe around the iris spun.
"D-Did you do this?!" The man questioned
"..."
"Who are you?!" The man shouted as he brought out his own sword as it shook in his hands
Once the area was all clear the man's eyes widened. "W-We got done in, by some kid?" The man laughed "Y-You've got to be kidding me!"
The man charged towards the boy and rose his sword high about to strike but stopped as the boy walked past him. What he had noticed too late was that the boy had already struck him, the man felt a pain in his abdomen as he looked down and saw a large gash through it as blood came gushing out.
The boy swung his blade, the blood on it coming off as he neared the crying girl. He stopped and looked at her straight in the eyes, there was something about the girl that seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
As he moved forward the girl began to shake and was about to scream, but the boy placed his hand over her mouth.
"There are still enemies left. You'll never get through this if you keep that up, but if you'll stop crying, then...I will definitely be on your side. I promise." The boy said as his eyes reverted back to their onyx colored state and he held out his pinky out.
The girls eyes had widened a she stopped crying and looked at his pinky as she intertwined hers with his. Her eyes widened once more as she then saw the boy began to fall to the side as he hit the ground.
Then a man with a short black hair wearing a black coat with gold trimmings and white gloves appeared. He saw the pile of dead bodies as he then spotted the girl and the boy who had passed out in front of her.
"What happened here?" The man asked the younger girl
"H-He saved me." The girl said as she had the boys head on her lap.
The man kneeled down and truned the boy over seeing the damage that had been done to him. "He's badly hurt, they must have gave him some trouble." the girl shook her head
"H-He was already l-like this from the beginning." She said
'He fought and took all these men out already injured?' The man thought as he took the boys mask off revealing his face. Long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes, his long jet black hair was tied in a low pony-tail held by a red hair tie and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin.
The boy slightly moved as his eyes opened slightly revealing his onyx colored eyes as he could barely see the two people looking at him.
"L...Leave me, save...her." The boy said "More...enemies."
"Sorry kid, but that's not going to happen." The man said as he lifted the boy onto his back and carried the girl in his arms "You risked your life knowing you were already injured and fatigued to save the life of an other."
The girl in his arms peered up taking glances at the boy who had saved her as a faint blush appeared on her face. The man noticed and chuckled.
"So kid, what's your name? I can't keep calling you kid all the time."
"I-Ita...chi." Itachi said barely a whisper that only the man was able to hear
'Weasel, huh? Explains the mask.' The man thought.
-The Next Day-
Itachi's eyes began to twitch as his eye lids slowly rose as a light hit his eyes. He slowly sat up and looked around, he was on a bed in an unfamiliar room. He made his way off the bed as he could hear voices on the other side of the wall as he made his way to the door.
"You want me to take him in?" The voice of a woman was heard "You find some kid lost in the forest and you decide to bring him here? This isn't an orphange."
"He's no regular child." A man's voice, Itachi slightly recognized it "He's strong, took down the a whole group by himself."
Now the woman was slightly intrigued. "Why didn't you take him back to the Imperial Court?" The women questioned the man "If he's as strong as you think then he should do fine there?"
"You can teach him, just like you've taught me."
"I taught you from when you were a young boy, Glenn, and even if I were to take him in. What makes you think he can learn easily."
Itachi had been listening in to the two others present talk, what he could tell, he sensed great power from the woman with long golden blonde hair and large bust. The male who's name he now knew as Glenn, had was not great in power as the woman, but he seemed to be skilled. Itachi finally decided to let his presence known and coughed getting the others attention.
The blonde woman's eyes widened a small fraction, finally realizing the boy was standing in the same room as them. "How long have you been there?" She asked her sharp garnet - ruby eyes starring into onyx black eyes
"Not long." Itachi replied stoically "I wish to thank you for helping back then" Itachi looked at Glenn for a second before his attention was now back on the Blonde woman "You have no reason to help me, but if you do, in exchange I would help with chores and cooking."
"Before I decide on anything, who are you?" The woman asked
