"You should know it best, Madara. The will to protect his brother or sister… is the strongest source of power…", Itachi said.

"A power which we both have in us.", Sasuke added and activated his Mangekyou-Sharingan.

"But it seems you lost that power with becoming evil. Sensei, how could you?", Itachi asked hateful.

"How could I, you ask? I've news from the Sensei Madara Uchiha you used to know. He was nothing but Illusion. He didn't even exist. ", Madara smiled evily.

"When I found out the truth about you, I asked the same question as Sasuke asked when I killed the clan. I wouldn't even understand why, you said. And you were absolutely right. I can't even imagine, what kinda monster could kill his own brother in order to gain power."

Sasuke smiled when Itachi said that. He remembered the time that Itachi told him to take his eyes. "You said it best, Madara Uchiha. Itachi tried to deceive me. That's why he said he would take my eyes. Without even looking at his corpse, you told me he was dead. I thought so, but Itachi proved me the opposite. Everything was part of his plan. His death could'nt be prevented. But Itachi had a plan how he could revive himself."

"Yeah, I can see that.", Madara said sarcastically. "You just don't get it, do you? This is the end. Your trail of destruction will end here, once and for all.", Sasuke replied seriously.

"That ain't gonna work. Your empty words don't change my mind. Everyone should see how I defeat you." , Madara countered coldly.

Itachi, Sasuke and Madara started to fight. Their moves were very quickly and for Naruto almost impossible to see them. Only the names of their techniques he could hear.

"Raiton: Raigeki no Jutsu!", Itachi growled. A gigant thunder came into Itachi's hand. One of the new techniques Itachi mastered in that time he was disappeared. "Katon: Okamikyuu Endan!", Madara screamed.

/Karasumaru might be broken, but I still have many tricks on my sleeve left., Itachi thought, "Sasuke, get away!"

For the first time, it seemed that Itachi had the upperhand. But truly none of them had the upperhand. And so both Jutsus disappeared with a big bang.

/Dammit! I could use this technique one single time in this fight. But I didn't even created it perfectly, that's why it was equal to Madara's attack. Usually it should be stronger and it should've pawned Madara's attack…/

"Itachi, are you alright?", Sasuke asked. Itachi nodded., but he lost Chakra. /That beats even the fight I fought with Itachi. Itachi's Raiton-abilites are quite promising, but Madara has proven to be a challenging opponent. Even with that Jutsu I've mastered I could'nt defeat Madara… I'm wondering how we can do it., Sasuke thought.

"The time for words… has passed!", Madara cried and brought the both Uchiha to a wall. "Time to finish this pointless fight…", he wispered and took out his sword.

/Da… dammit! This can't be the end! Maybe… yeah, that's it! I know that to do now!, Itachi thought and grinned. He streched his hand to Madara and a black-red thunder came in Itachi's hand. /No… no, this can't be! Can he really…?/ Sasuke hadn't enough time to finish his thought until a grew black-red thunder crow came from heaven and was about to attack Madara.

"This technique is… Kirin.", Itachi said coldly and grinned.

The gigant crow reached Madara…

…and crushed him completely. After that big attack, Madara dropped. Nobody knew wheter he was dead or alive. But… he got up!

"Is that the death you were planning for me? How stupid.", Madara said. "No… impossible! Madara hadn't an armour like I had when I was attacked by Kirin! Madara should be dead now! How the hell could you Dodge it?", Itachi asked angrily.

"It's quite simple. The armour with which I dodged your Kirin, was everytime on me! My clothes. They were my armour.", Madara explained.

Itachi's and Sasuke's eyes were widden.

"You lack of experience. You've never faced an opponent like me. An opponent who even fears the death.", Madara wispered in Itachi's ear.

Meanwhile, Naruto watched the whole fight and was afraid about what would happen next. /Shit…, he thought.

Sasuke fell on his knees. "That's it… it's the last fight…", he said crying. /What can we do now?, Itachi thought.

Sasuke looked sadly at Sakura and Naruto. /I'm so sorry… I could'nt even protect the most important people to me… It's all my fault…/

Madara came slowly to Naruto and Sakura and wispered: "And now I'll take what belongs to me…"

/Kyuubi, Naruto thought.

"You need'nt to be afraid.. You won´t feel any pain. At least I won't feel any pain, of course.", Madara grinned.

/It's over…, Sasuke thought and closed his eyes.

Suddenly something unexpected happened. Itachi turned between Madara and Naruto and wispered angry: "Only over my corpse."

Madara grinned again. "If you wanna to… no problem. But I gotta ask you… Why do you protect a dead weak girl and the Kyuubi-boy? The wouldn't have protected you."

"They're important to my brother.", Itachi replied.

"What did you say?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. I'm gonna protect as many people as I possible can. And everyone who gets in my way, I'll defeat them all.", Itachi answered.

"But I have an idea. Why should I make my fingers dirty? I can let the Kyuubi kill you. Or what do you think Naruto?", asked Madara turning to the questioned.

"You would'nt dare…", growled Naruto.

"Think about it. The Kyuubi made you stronger. The Kyuubi has always protected you. And now watch what the Uchiha made with your little friend…", Madara grinned.

Naruto looked at Sakura. Tears ran on Naruto's face. He started to lose control.

"Sakura-chan…"
