The continuation of Chapter 1, last time the gang found out Itachi was here and his main intents, they heard a scream Naruto reconized as Iruka's. Now, we start, Umino Iruka vs Uchiha Itachi!
...
Itachi Rules The World
Itachi stared down at Iruka, his blood was pouring out of his mouth.
"Why!" Iruka yelled standing up and rising his fists.
Itachi leapt from his spot in the tree and whispered in his ear, "Because I declare war."
Iruka's eyes widen as he saw Itachi raise his sword. "Don't." he whispered.
Itachi smiled, and Iruka could sense his smirk, "Too late." Itachi whispered as the sword hurriedly ran down and pierced his back, coming out all the way to his front end where he could see the blade sticking out of him.
"GGGGAAAHHH!" Iruka screamed as blood flew out of him from his front, back, and his mouth.
Itachi laughed as he pulled his sword out of him and watched his body fall to the floor. He looked up and saw a person falling from the sky. "Sharingan Kakashi." He whispered as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kakashi looked up at the sky and then down at Iruka. "Shit." He whispered. He realized it was too late and that Iruka was going to die within a matter of minutes. All he could do was sit there and watch.
…
"Blood." Kiba said as he sniffed.
"You smell blood?" Shino asked staring over at Naruto.
Naruto sniffed and whispered to himself, "Iruka-Sensei."
"This isn't good." Shikamaru said.
"What?" Neji asked as he acknowledged Shikamaru for the first time today.
"If Itachi is killing people already, we are going to lose ninja. We won't stand a chance unless we can distract him."
"And how would you intend on doing that Shikamaru?" Ino asked looking into those hard black eyes of his.
He paused as he carefully planned out his next words. "Well, I can't but it any other way, human sacrifice." Shikamaru said.
"So you intend on sending us out there to fight a battle we will obviously die in!" Naruto yelled as he walked over to where Shikamaru was standing.
"Only one at a time, until we can come up with a surefire way of defeating Itachi," Shikamaru said, "Lady Tsunade, can you call up our squad leaders?"
Tsunade responded with a simple yes but then hesitated, "What about Team 10 and Team 9?" She asked, "Kureni has a baby and Asuma is, in the other world."
"I'll take Ino and Chouji, and call Jirayia for Team 9," Shikamaru instructed, "Also, we might want to call upon the Kazekage and his siblings."
"You think we should ask Gaara-Kun?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, I do." Shikamaru replied.
"I agree," Neji said speaking up for the first time with Shikamaru, "If you look at it this way, Gaara will bring his men to hold off Itachi and he would be a very helpful ally."
"And he can not refuse since after us Itachi will probably attack the sand village." Shino added in.
"True," Tsunade said, "I will get in contact with them." She stood up and walked out of the room. "Wait here!" she said as she walked out looking specifically at Naruto.
"How can you even live with yourself?" Naruto asked as he coldly stared at Shikamaru.
"You want to disrespect me Naruto, fine, go fight Itachi! You can be our first sacrifice." Shikamaru said as he stared directly into Naruto's blue pools he calls eyes. Naruto saw the seriousness in his face and dropped the subject as he looked on the floor.
"So now what do we do?" Ino asked.
"Shikamaru?" Chouji asked.
Shikamaru ignored them as he sat on the floor and meditated by cupping his hands in his usual style, as he use to do when he played with Asuma.
