Prologue: Wishing Eye

Itachi Uchiha let out a sigh, shifting his weight on top of the tree branch. He watched the clouds above drift away. Letting his eyes fall towards the ground, he silenced himself as four shadows appeared in the sunlight. The voices below sounded familiar.

" Alright then, you will be back in the Fire Country by next week? " asked a pink-headed woman, carrying a package in one hand, and a bottle in the other. She looked the man with raven hair in the eyes. He nodded.

" Sasuke, make sure you get the information you need there, and don't be reckless " said a man standing behind the woman. His long blonde hair tied into a ponytail by an orange rubber band.

" Don't lecture me about being reckless Naruto, I can handle anything that comes my way " The other said. He looked at the fourth figure, a short girl with red hair and cloudy eyes. " Take care of yourself, Kushina " she just nodded, and held onto Naruto's arm. The raven-haired man called Sasuke turned and looked out upon a vast field, leading into the Sound Country. He continued on the path, as the other three stood behind him.

Itachi kept his eyes on Sasuke, looking ahead to a great wall dividing the two countries. Returning his gaze to those on the forest floor, he noted the pink-haired woman pouring a green liquid into her mouth, before disappearing completely.

" I shall retrieve Pein, and return to the city, " Her voice said out of nowhere. Naruto and Kushina turned around and began walking back the way they came. Itachi felt a cool gust of wind hit the side of his face. He turned to see none other than his assistant, Karin.

" Sir, Master Sadana requests your assistance, " She said. Itachi kept quiet, and turned back to watch the clouds. " Itachi? "

" I thought I told you not to call me that, Karin, " He said. His fingers lingered over his cheek, and hovered up to his eye. The tips dug into the space around it, and pulled the eye out. The red pupil in the middle swirled around as Itachi polished it on his sleeve.

" My deepest apologies, Master Madara "
