Chapter 1: Resurrection

"You don't have to forgive me. No matter what you decide to do from now on." Uchiha Itachi placed his forehead against Uchiha Sasuke's.

"I will love you forever."

Itachi finally lost consciousness. The Edo Tensei is no more. And the soul of Uchiha Itachi finally ascended to the pure land.

He could be at peace now being in the pure land, he could reunite with his family, with Shisui, with Izumi, with all those that he held dear.

But his peace was too short lived.

The Sage of the Six Paths stood before him.

"The Sage of the Six Paths." Itachi said in slight awe. The Sage has his eyes on the Uchiha and was silent for a moment.

The Sage then spoke. "Yes, I am. The founder of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed. Shinobi No Kami as I've been called." He pointed at Itachi. "Uchiha Itachi. You're still needed."

Hearing this, Itachi was both confused and apprehensive. How was he still needed if he had passed on? And why would he be needed again? What else is there to be done?

The Sage gently poked the staff at Itachi's chest. "You've lived your life as a traitor throughout your life. Now you shall live free in the next, as a paragon. Perhaps you are the one who can pass on the truth of Ninshu to this troubled world."

Before he could ask any questions, Itachi felt his consciousness fading once more, his energy felt it was drained as a blinding light consumed him. His soul left the Pure Land, returning to the living.

Uchiha Itachi lives again.

In the state of New Jersey, night has arrived in Gotham City along with a storm. A city that has fallen prey to criminals and gangs of all sorts. A city under the protection and guard of a Dark Knight to stand between the innocent and the predatory.

However right in the corner of an alleyway, evil is being committed.

"S-Stop no, don't. Please." A whimper for mercy could be heard in an alley by a man in office wear, whom was being pinned to a wall by another man with muscles, tattoos and dressed in a worn out coat, jeans and boots.

The mugger let out a sadistic chuckle. "No one's coming to help you little girl."

"I-I've given you my money. Just please let me go." The victim pleaded.

"Yeah well I could just let you go. But you see, I got a reputation to keep up around here you know what I mean?" The mugger said. "So I'm going to hurt you bad. Oh and don't cry like the little girl you are, it'll make me want to hurt you more."

The mugger proceeded to ram a fist into the office man's stomach, and another punch to the face. The victim cried out. "Stop please! Help me!"

As if an answer from above, a flash of light appeared above. Both looked up, the mugged had a face of fear while the mugger had a face of confusion.

The flash of light had a silhouette right below it, and it has the shape of a human. It descended as gravity pulled it down, crashing down on the mugger. The office man cried out in shock seeing two figures on the ground.

"Ah! Get off me dammit!" The mugger pushed the figure off him. The person from the flash of light laying on the ground let out a lethargic groan, and slowly rise up.

The mugged man still had his back against the wall. The mugger got up and faced the one who fell on him. "What is this? Who the hell are you?!" He said.

The figure turned around, revealing his face to the two men. Uchiha Itachi felt a terrible ache through his head. Opening his eyes, both eyes were able to see. He saw the two men who were in attires he did not recognised despite his vision being blurry for the moment. His tried to find his balance in his legs, they felt so groggy. His chest hurt as he breathed in.

Thankfully he was in his Edo Tensei apparels, the same clothes he was in when he stepped into the Pure Land.

"(W-What happened? Where am I? What is this? Where's the Sage?)" Itachi groaned, a hand holding his head.

"Hey I asked you a question jackass!" The mugger repeated, louder this time and stepping towards Itachi. The mugger grabbed Itachi by his collar. "You jumped off the building or something? What are you suicidal? Well you know what? You must be suicidal if you thinking falling on top of me was a good idea!"

Itachi shook his head back into focus. Seeing the angry man right on his face and grabbing his collar, the situation was quite clear to him.

"(I can't understand you. What are you saying?)" Itachi stoically asked.

"What are you Japanese?! What are you, part of the Yakuza?! How about you speak English dumb Jap?!" The mugger raised his voice right at Itachi's face.

Now Itachi was not having that. He may not understand the language but aggression and hostility was clear enough. He just stared back at the mugger with furrowed brows.

"Oh a silent tough guy huh?! You look like you could do with a black eye!" The mugger pulled a fist back, but before it could hit its mark, Itachi grabbed the fist and twisted it with the cracking of small bones in the hand. The mugger screamed out in agony. With a hard yank Itachi tossed the mugger off him to the side a good distance.

With a surprised yell, the mugger landed right on his back, the back of his head knocked on the floor and he was out. Now Itachi's arms felt sore and weak after that toss.

The man in office wear who was leaning against the wall in fear, watching the one who fell from the rainy night sky.

Itachi readjusted his clothing. "What in the world is going on? Where am I?" Itachi thought. The rain continued to patter everywhere, soaking Itachi's clothes. His fringe started to curtain his face. His strength felt so depleted. His thighs ached. He was very fatigued.

The man who was still frozen in shock did not take his eyes off Itachi. The Uchiha turned to the man and asked. "(I hope you're not with that guy that tried to attack me, it really isn't in my desire to hurt you. Can you tell where I am?)"

"I…I…d-don't speak Japanese." The man in office wear stammered. "Listen I…I don't want any trouble ok? I'm just going to go alright? Please don't hurt me." The man inched his way towards the main street.

"(I don't understand anything you're saying.)" Itachi said, failing in trying to make a breakthrough in communication.

The man ran away. "(Hey wait tell me where I am please I-)" Itachi called out but to no avail, the man ran out of the alley. "(Damn.)"

Itachi looked one last time at the mugger he knocked out. He did not want to stay around now that there's an unconscious man in the area.

Tilting his head up, the rain continued to pour. Seeing the tall buildings, Itachi was genuinely nervous as to what is happening, with his weakened state to boot.

"Amegakure? Is that where I am? I don't recognize these kinds of buildings." Itachi thought. He got his legs to move, making his way out of the alley in the other direction.

The man who had escaped earlier looked back to see no one was following him. Unfortunately, he when turned his head back, he immediately stopped in his tracks. In front of him was another figure, this time dark caped along with two sharp upright ears.

"Tell me what happened." The figure said to the man with a low and austere voice.

Itachi got out of the alley, taking the sight of the streets of Gotham City, with street lamps bringing light across the roads, and buildings reaching up into the dark clouds. Itachi had never seen anything like it.

"What is this place?" Itachi thought, both in awe and trepidation, stepping on the sidewalk and into the middle of the street. He pulled the hood over his head with the rain still pouring. His headache was still pounding in him. His stomach was suddenly howling at him with hunger.

Suddenly two bright lights started to appear from Itachi's left, along with a sound of a revving and they were approaching Itachi at fast speed. As it got closer its true image was revealed. A metal vehicle with wheels and glass. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. He could see that there was a male driver.

With the loud sound of screeching coming from the wheels, the driver tried to stop the vehicle. But with the wet road, friction was not helping. Reacting quickly, Itachi leapt out of the way before the vehicle crashed into him.

Flipping through the air, he applied chakra to his feet and they stuck to a wall of a building. The driver saw Itachi standing on the wall with dropped jaws.

He was attracting too much attention to himself, Itachi wanted to get out of sight and a better view of where he was. He started climbing up the wall of the building, but with the massive height of the building, the force of the rain along and with his lethargic state it was a struggle.

It became so clear to him that his chakra was so little right now. "Why is my chakra so low right now? I don't think I can even do a single Jutsu right now? What did the Sage do to me? How did I get here?" Itachi thought. Looking down, the height he was at was breath-taking. The streets were so far below him, the type he had never seen before. He was breathing heavily now.

Making to the top, he reached out with his hands, grabbing the ledge to pull himself up. But when he looked up however, there was a sight for him to truly take in.

In the dark storm there stood a humanoid figure, shrouded in a black cape flowing mysteriously with the wind, the head having two black ears pointing up, and two white menacing eyes staring right at Itachi. The only thing that Itachi could picture the figure towering before him was…

"(A bat? And a man?)" Itachi said.

"Enough." Batman said, his voice displaying austerity, swiftly reaching to Itachi, his arm was in a black gauntlet wielding blades.

Batman grabbed Itachi by the shoulder. However, Itachi's chakra in his feet was weakening, losing his grip on the wall. Gravity pulled Itachi down, but the Batman still had Itachi's Edo Tensei robe gripped tight, resulting in Itachi's robe being pulled out of him from above. Now all Itachi was wearing was his interior grey t-shirt, pants and sandals.

Itachi fell, the wind on his face and his arms tried to reach for the building's wall. Surging chakra in his palms, he tried to reach out and hold on to the wall. The Batman threw the Edo Tensei robe away and jumped off the roof, diving down to save the falling man. The chakra in Itachi's fingers barely touched the wall, but his chakra was almost fatally low.

As Batman was gaining speed to save a free falling Itachi, a red and blue blur zipped through the air, zooming straight for Itachi and moving faster than Batman.

The Uchiha saw the red and blue flying towards him at great speed as he continued to fall, Itachi was too weak to move, as well as gravity weighing him down.

The red and blue blur slowed down to reveal the face of a man, in blue and a red cape. Along with a symbol on his chest. Such an ability, to fly at immense speed like a blur, to be unbound by gravity is something even someone like Itachi might define as…Super.

Extended his arms out, Superman reached out slowing catching Itachi, saving him from a gruesome end on the ground.

The Man of Steel said to the person whom he was carrying bridal style strangely enough, "I've got you miss." Closer inspection on Itachi's face, Superman corrected himself. "Sorry, I mean sir." And he descended to the ground safely.

Itachi still could not understand what he was saying, nor could he find any strength in him to resist. His vision was fading, his whole body hurt, his chakra was too low. Seeing his exhausted face, Superman was getting concerned now.

"Hey are you alright?" Superman asked Itachi, but the Uchiha was too weak to even lift his eyelids anymore. Superman used his x-ray vision, and it showed that his heartbeat was not looking good.

Itachi's body went slack, he was out cold.

Seeing that the person of interest was out of harm's way, Batman from above extended his cape like wings, gliding down to ground floor.

Both heroes landed together, the World's Finest standing side by side.

"You said you were heading back to Metropolis." Batman said to Superman.

"You can thank me later." Superman replied. "Who is this kid?" He looked at the Uchiha that he was still carrying.

"I don't know." Batman said. "But he can walk on walls. So he could be a meta."

"Well whoever he is, he's not doing too well. His heartbeat says he's in trouble." Superman scanned Itachi with his x-ray vision once more.

"I'll take it from here. I'll do what I can for him in the Batcave." Batman said pushing a button on his gauntlet, soon the sound of running engine came and the Batmobile arrived.

"Here." Superman handed the unconscious Itachi to Batman and the Dark Knight placed Itachi in a seat of the Batmobile.

"I'll meet you there as well, after I head back to Metropolis for a short while." Superman said, and Batman got into the driver seat of the Batmobile.

The Man of Steel soared up into the rainy night sky and the Dark Knight sped off.

I hope the first chapter is done well and you've enjoyed it.
