Two Years Later...


"Do not lose focus Naruto, keep attacking, do not look at your weapon, look your opponent, look for their next move", Wrath said, he and Naruto were currently sparring in their usual training grounds, the swordsman using one of Naruto's combat knives with a ring at the base, and Naruto using one of the sabers. Wrath didn't have a scratch on him or his clothing while Naruto was still healing as Wrath repeatedly slashed him, Naruto blocking some, parrying and dodging others.

Wrath caught the tip of the saber in the ring and pulled Naruto up in to the air while opening the blond's guard at the same time, sending him rolling back along the ground with a swift kick to the stomach. Naruto hopped to his feet quickly ready to go again.

For two years Naruto had trained with Wrath and the other Homunculus to hone his skills. Envy and Greed helping him with Taijutsu as they were the most adept hand to hand fighters while Wrath helped him with kenjutsu. They had started him on his chakra training using a couple scrolls Wrath had purchased as well as using special chakra paper to find out Naruto's affinities, Earth and Fire.

Naruto had started the academy a year prior and had made a few friends, mainly in the clan heirs whose minds weren't corrupted by what adults told them. He wasn't receiving an adequate education from the teachers who were some of the more avid Naruto haters, but that didn't matter as Wrath and Lust taught him everything he needed to know about math, history, science especially, Naruto taking an interest in it. He was taught how to hunt and track by Gluttony, which came naturally to the fat homunculus.

For a while, Naruto trained with his new found ability, the Ultimate Flame, Naruto coming up with the name. Using it was a bit of a chakra drain at first and severely burned Naruto's hands and fingers, but with his healing he was able to continue in seconds.

"You did well, Naruto, you're learning quickly", Wrath said, tossing the whiskered blond his combat knife while Naruto tossed the saber back to it's owner.

"Thanks Wrath-jiji, what's next on the training list?", Naruto asked.

"Hmmm, we could either train with the Ultimate Flame or we could work on your ninjutsu, your call Naruto", Wrath said. The whiskered blond smirked and speedily went through the required hand seals.

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!", (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique). Wrath smirked.

"I thought so, Greed, Lust, you take it from here", Wrath said, the Ultimate Shield and Spear jumping in to the spar, the three homunculus avoiding the powerful fireball.

'I wonder how Itachi-san is fairing, I do hope he does not do anything rash he has much potential', Wrath thought as he oversaw the spar.


Uchiha Compound...

"Remain calm Sasuke, this technique requires a calm clear mind to use without the Sharingan (Copy-Wheel Eye)", Itachi said, his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha was panting lightly, multiple targets on the trees and wooden posts around them, shuriken and kunai were scattered all around a couple hitting the bulls-eye but the rest were either misses or nowhere near the bulls-eye.

"You hit a couple which is good, normally one wouldn't be able to without serious training", Itachi said, patting his brother on the shoulder.

"Thanks Itachi-nii". The Uchiha prodigy smiled at his younger brother and then looked up to the sun.

"It's getting late, we should go home for dinner", Itachi said, Sasuke nodded and Itachi created a clone of himself which went to collect the weapons while the two of them walked off. The two of them walked off from their personal training grounds, as they approached the house they heard glass shatter and a woman scream.

"Mother?", Sasuke said loudly, he was about to run in when Itachi stopped him.

"Sasuke, stay far behind me", Itachi said, he walked forward and opened the door. He sped down the hallways with Sasuke staying close enough to follow after his brother.

"You damn bitch! How many times have i told you not to defend that damn demon or that ungrateful child!".

"Fugaku! Stop! Please!".

"That Bastard", Itachi growled, he sped up on the straight away towards the door, he burst through it to see their father, Fugaku Uchiha with his hand raised to strike their mother, Mikoto, who was already holding her reddened cheek, her jaw clenched and tears running down her cheeks.

Itachi saw red and set his sights on his father.

"What are y-Ugwaah!", Fugaku never got to finish his question as he was sent flying by a kick to the face courtesy of his eldest son.

"You damn bastard! I warned about what would happen if you harmed my mother again", Itachi said, Fugaku got to his feet and glared at his son, his Sharingan activated, as was Itachi's.

"Please! Both of you stop this!", Mikoto screamed, getting in between them.

"Mother, please, this has to be done", said the Uchiha prodigy, slowly drawing his sword with Fugaku reflected in the steel.

"Listen to the brat, Mikoto, He needs to be taught a less-Gah!", Mikoto rounded on him with her own glare before disappearing in a Shunshin and sending him flying in to the wall with a punch to the face.

"He's all yours Itachi-kun, I just wanted to get a shot in, he always catches me off guard", Mikoto said before walking away, rubbing her knuckles. Her two sons blinked owlishly for a moment, Itachi's rage forgotten.

"Come on Sasuke-kun, let your brother handle this, I have dinner ready for you". Sasuke just nodded dumbly.

"Damn bitch, You'll pay for that", Fugaku jumped back as three kunai hit the wall with a dull thunk, Itachi rushed him, clearing the couch in a single bound and readied to sleigh the Clan head, Fugaku opening a hidden panel in the wall and extracting dual katanas and rushing his eldest son, Itachi jumped back and he and his father clashed blades repeatedly, sparks flying as Itachi proved his superior speed and blocked his father's rapid assault.

Itachi jumped away as his father brought one of the Katana's down splitting the table, Itachi let loose three kunai.

"Kage kunai Bunshin no Jutsu!", (Shadow Kunai Clone Technique) Three turned in to Thirty and Fugaku connected the bases of the Katana and locked them in so the cutting edges were facing different directions. He started spinning the dual blades quickly, deflecting the storm of kunai. fugaku ran forward and disconnected the blades cutting through one of the halves as Itachi tossed them up with his feet. Fugaku cut through them and Itachi was gone.

"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu!", (Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu) Fugaku whirled around, cutting through two and back pedaling as the fireballs followed after him, The Uchiha Clan head flipped back and attached himself to the wall, Itachi running towards him...

"Suiton: Taihoudan!", (Water Release: Water Gun) The Uchiha prodigy spit out a fast moving stream of water, extinguishing the flames as he moved it towards his target. Fugaku smirked and launched off, spinning through the air and over Itachi, who blocked rapid slashes as his father spun. Fugaku landed on his feet and put Itachi on the defensive.

The Uchiha prodigy dodged one blade and parried the other, lunging forward and striking Fugaku with a rising knee, kicking off and grazing his cheek with the katana blade, the Clan head was back on the offensive, pushing Itachi back, but he was not worried. Itachi was nearly against the wall, He side stepped and downward slash from Fugaku and a slash from the other.

Fugaku slashed again, this time Itachi blocked it, the clan head smirked, thinking he had won and went to finish the fight and assert his dominance when his sword was blocked by another, two kunai were angled to take out his eyes if he moved and he felt something press against the backs of his legs and against his spine.

"You lose...Father", Itachi said, his swords were blocked, two Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) were placed to take out Fugaku's eyes and one to his spine and legs, "Yield. Now".

Fugaku grunted and his grip on the katana relaxed, the clones dispersed in clouds of smoke and the Uchiha clan head jumped from the smoke, followed by Itachi.

"You're dead to me Itachi", Fugaku said with a scowl, deactivating his Sharingan, Itachi did the same.

"Do you really think I care Fugaku?", Itachi asked. Fugaku grunted and turned and walked off in a huff. Itachi sighed and was lost in his thoughts for a moment.

"Itachi-kun!", He shook himself of his thoughts and looked to his mother and brother smiling at him over the kitchen counter, "Are you just going to stand there like a statue or come have dinner with us?", Mikoto asked. Itachi let a small smile spread across his face.

"Right, sorry mother", he sheathed his katana and walked in to the kitchen.


Later that night...

Itachi sat in the center of his zen garden, meditating, thinking over the events that had transpired earlier that night. The distinct sound of Shunshin reached his ears.

"Hello Itachi".

"What do you want?".

"Just to tell you that our plan will be carried out tomorrow night". Itachi turned to see a man in a black and orange mask with a single eye-hole, long, black shaggy hair that went slightly past his shoulders in the back, a black travelers cloak covering his body.

"Thank you, now leave".

"Why so hostile Itachi, we're both friends here, aren't we?", he asked in a sarcastic curious tone.

"No, and this is a place of peace, I would rather not discuss that matter with you, not here, not now", the Uchiha prodigy said.

"Doesn't matter, the plan i set, there will be no more talk only action, I will see you tomorrow Itachi Uchiha, remember our agreement, i will honor my end of the deal if you live up to yours", and with that, he disappeared.

"...Sasuke...I can never apologize enough for what is about to happen", Itachi mumbled, a single tear streaming down his cheek.


The Next Day...

"Go to the training grounds after the academy lets out and we will continue your Kenjutsu training", Wrath said as he walked out of the door followed by Naruto who immediately jumped over the railing and landed safely on the ground.

"Sure thing Wrath-jiji, Later", Naruto called out as he ran. Greed and Lust joined him outside.

"That kid is something else", Greed said.

"Quite, Lust, get Pride, I want you three to come with me, we have matters to discuss and an associate to meet", Wrath said.

"Associate? Who the hell are you talking about, who do we know?", Greed asked.

"You will find out soon enough", Wrath said simply as he descended the stairs. Greed and Lust looked at each other and shrugged, the woman going inside to get Pride while Greed followed after Wrath.


The Academy...

"Hey Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru", Naruto said as he went up the stairs, taking his place at the top row of desks in the middle, his friend Kiba Inuzuka, son of Tsume Inuzuka, to his left, the second in line heir to the Inuzuka Clan after his sister Hana, with him as always his faithful dog, Akamaru.

Below them were a slightly chubby kid with red hair, eating a bag of chips. Choji Akimichi, son of Chouza Akimichi and heir to the powerhouse clan, the Akimichi. And a kid with black hair styled like a pineapple who looked like he was having trouble trying to stay awake. Shikamaru Nara, son of Shikaku Nara and heir to the clan of geniuses, the Nara.

"Hey there Naruto", Kiba said.

"Hey *munch, munch* Naruto", Choji said.

"...Hey...", Shikamaru said.

Before their conversation could go any further, their teacher, a white haired chunin, Mizuki entered the room. He looked around, sending the faintest of glares at Naruto so the others wouldn't notice.

Within a few minutes everyone had arrived, two girls one a pinkette and the other a platinum blond got stuck in the doorway, trying to get in to the classroom first, both getting in at the same time and an argument ensued but was quickly stopped by Mizuki. Another argument between the pinkette and Naruto because Naruto was sitting by a raven haired boy, Sasuke Uchiha, but that was also stopped by Mizuki, thought with very little effort.

"All right class, we're going to start today with a brief history lesson followed by a few follow up questions on some of the basics you should've learned from last year, and then we will move outside for field training exercises and weapons and taijutsu training.

And class began, Naruto along with most of the students falling asleep due to the boring lesson, even Mizuki looked like he was about to pass out any minute. The whiskered blonds head hit the desk with a thud and he was in dreamland.


Naruto's Mind...

"Hey brat".

Naruto yawned and rubbed his eyes, even in his mindscape he was tired. He opened his eyes to see a smaller version of Kyuubi, bright fire dancing his wrists and ankles and at the tips of his nine tails, a three pointed crown of fire on his forehead.

The environment had also changed as well, that stood atop a rock plateau surrounded a wide canyon surrounded by plateaus of vary heights and sizes, a single tree teetering on the edge of the one they occupied.

"Hey...What's up Furball?", Naruto said.

Kyuubi was in fact, alive...for the most part. Wrath's theory had been correct and Kyuubi was still alive inside of the Philosopher's Stone. Naruto had discovered this after an exhausting bout between himself and Sloth. The only damage the blond had been able to do was a few severe burns but Sloth took every other hit and sent it back twice as hard, Naruto was sure every bone in his body had been broken at least twice.

Naruto had found out that the Ultimate Flame came from Kyuubi's influence in the stone. The Fox had proven not to be so bad, he was just in a bad mood because of the fact that he was living in a sewer. The Demon King living in a Sewer, Naruto agreed that he had a right to be pissed off.

"You fell asleep again didn't you?", Kyuubi asked.

"...Looks like it", Naruto said, stretching to get his blood flowing again.

"Eh, I don't blame, those classes are boring as hell, even that little prick Mizuki is having trouble staying on his feet", Kyuubi said.

"Yeah...I've been meaning to ask you, has Wrath-jiji been acting kind of strange lately?", Naruto asked.

"...Yeah, I've noticed that as well, but I just played it off as a Homunculus thing", the Biju shrugged.

"So, is there anything that you can tell me that will help with the Ultimate Flame?", Naruto asked.

"...Not really Kit, You can try and pin-point the location that burns, that would give you an edge in battle against a stronger opponent that won't go down as easily, but other than that I've got nothing...Oh, always have a lighter handy".

"But I don't smoke..."

"Who said it was for lighting cigarettes, Figure it out on your own", Kyuubi said with a mischievous grin. Naruto grumbled.

"Naruto".

"Naruto!".

"Sigh, i gotta go Kyuubi, I'll talk to you later or something", Naruto sighed.

"Mind thinking up someone for me to talk to while you're at it, It get's so fucking boring in here", Kyuubi complained.

"Like what?".

"...I'll send you the images, get going", Kyuubi said, Naruto nodded and started to fade from his world.


Reality...

"Naruto! Wake. Up!", Mizuki chucked an eraser at the sleeping blond, in blink of an eye, Naruto's hand shot up and caught it, surprising those around him as well as Mizuki.

"...Good morning Mizuki-sensei", Naruto said lazily, tossing the eraser back to him.

"It's 2 in the afternoon Naruto...and now that all of you slackers are awake, out to the training field for Taijutsu and weapons training", the white haired chunin said, the class got up from their seats, Sasuke being trailed by a group of wooing fangirls.

Everyone walked outside, Naruto decided to venture off, knowing Mizuki wouldn't bother teaching him anything anyway. He made his way to the top of the academy and started doing stretches, followed by sit-ups, push-ups, vertical push-ups. Naruto did one hundred each, he could hear the kunai and shuriken hit the dirt in complete misses or the thunks on wood of those who can actually hit the target.

He flipped down and landed on his feet.

"What are you doing up here?", Naruto turned around to see Sasuke closing the door to the stairs that led up there.

"I wanted to get some training done and Mizuki isn't exactly the greatest teacher, so I thought i'd come up here and do it myself", Naruto said, "What are you doing here?".

"I didn't feel like training today, besides, I can get way better training from Itachi at home then I can from the teachers here", Sauske said, leaning on the railing while looking down at the other students training, he could even some of his fangirls falling behind while they were desperately trying to search for him.

"I wouldn't stand so close to the edge if I were you", Naruto said.

"Why?".

"You wouldn't want your fangirls to see you up here would you, when there is only one way to escape from here and it's a pretty long fall", Sasuke chuckled.

"Good point".

"...Up for a spar?", Naruto asked.

"Haven't you learned your lesson from the other times I kicked your ass?", Sasuke asked with a smirk.

"You forget, I've beat you a couple times too, Come on, Scared?", Naruto's taunt was answered by a swift kick from Sasuke, Naruto side stepped it and and blocked a swift punch, throwing Sasuke over his shoulder, the Uchiha flipped through the air and landed on his feet.

"Bring it on, Naruto". The whiskered blond smirked. He lunged forward and raised his leg, bringing it down, Sasuke hopping back and again as Naruto jabbed for his knee, the Uchiha back flipped as Naruto lashed out with a spin kick. Sasuke lunged forward with with kick aimed for Naruto's head, the blond dodged it and the spin kick that came after it, Sasuke didn't let up, attacking the whiskered blond with a swift barrage of punches, Naruto blocking them with his arms crossed.

Sasuke stepped back and kicked, kicking off and flipping through the air, Naruto hopping back, the two of them landing and dropping in to their taijutsu stances.

"All right!", they said at the same time. Both academy students rushed the other, Naruto lashing out with a straight kick, Sasuke sliding around him and sweeping for his legs, Naruto front flipped through the air and turned, landing on his feet and blocking a couple punches from the young Uchiha, naruto blocked the third and struck Sasuke in the gut with a rising knee, Sasuke regained himself quickly and struck Naruto with a quick cross and then threw him over his shoulder.

Naruto flipped and landed on his feet, and spun around, deflecting a punch from Sasuke and grabbed his wrist, getting in his guard and striking Sasuke in the floating ribs with a punch to his side. Naruto kicked Sasuke's feet from under him, spun around and threw, the young Uchiha rolling the ground.

Just as Sasuke got to his feet so they could continue their spar, Mizuki arrived, picking Naruto up by the back of his shirt.

"Attacking Sasuke, eh, Naruto, That's grounds for expulsion right there", Mizuki said with a sneer as Naruto glared at the Chunin out of the corner of his eye, not putting up a struggle.

"It's not like that Mizuki-sensei, It was just a spar", Sasuke said.

"How noble of you Sasuke, sticking up for one of the lesser scum...Ahhh!", before Mizuki could continue to insult Naruto, there was a sound of fingers snapping and Mizuki's sleeve suddenly caught on fire. Sasuke bit his lip to not laugh, Naruto burst out laughing...mainly because he did it.

"Ahhh! son of a Bitch!", Mizuki yelled, he flailed wildly, accidentally throwing Naruto in to the air and over the rooftop edge.

"Whoa!", Naruto yelled, screams were heard from below and yells.

"Naruto!", Kiba, Choji and Shikamaru yelled, the lazy genius wide awake now. An indigo haired girl and the platinum blond gasped while the pinkette was still looking around for Sasuke, smiling brightly when she saw him on the roof, a smile that many of the students thought was for a different reason.

"Ah crap...think think think...", Naruto said, rattling his brain for some kind of idea as he fell towards the earth, "Here goes nothing", Naruto clapped his hands together, orange discharge being given off, though he didn't notice the Philosopher Stone in his chest glowing slightly, "This is gonna hurt". He turned in the air to face the ground and put his hands out in front of him, his hands connected with the ground first, many of the students had their eyes closed as to not watch the scene of gore, they didn't see electrical discharge arc around.

A cloud of dust was kicked up which put many of the academy students in a coughing fit.

"Naruto!", Kiba yelled as he, Shikamaru and Choji ran ahead to see if their friend was Ok, they were shocked to find that Naruto was coughing in a small pit of sand which he was partially buried under.

"Cough, Cough...Hey there guys...", He looked around and tried to free himself from the sand trap, "Uhmm...Can I get some help here?", The lazy Nara and loyal Inuzuka helped him out, the blond preceding to wipe the dust off his clothes.

"That was a close call", the whiskered blond mumbled, 'I've never done that before, doing that always came with an explosion or wildfire, never had he been able to do that.'

"Hey Naruto, what the hell was that?", Kiba asked.

"Yeah, we thought you were a goner, how did you turn the earth in to sand?", Choji asked.

'...Why does this seem familiar somehow?', Shikamaru thought, looking up at the sky in thought as he always did.

"Hehe, A Future Hokage never reveals his secrets", Naruto said with his patented fox grin, 'I don't even know what happened'. Naruto dusted himself off and looked up to see Sasuke and an angry looking Mizuki looking over the railing.

"Hey Sasuke, we'll spar some other time, I gotta go", Naruto called up, he said his goodbyes to his friends and raced towards his usual training grounds to hopefully find out what happened.

"...Sigh...Everyone, Back inside! A couple more lessons and we're done for the day", Mizuki called down to his other students. They all groaned in annoyance, the earlier mishap already forgotten. Everyone re-entered the building except for Shikamaru who still stood in place thinking.

'...Could it be...Nah, there's no way...", Shikamaru thought, he sighed and followed after the others inside to return to his napping. He stopped, he already knew all of this and Mizuki was just going to repeat stuff from earlier and put everyone to sleep.

"Knowing Naruto, he's going to try and do that again...if he does, then I'll know", Shikamaru mumbled and he jogged off, knowing he'd eventually stumble across the blond training, all he had to do was follow the possible destruction.


With Naruto...

"Naruto, what are you doing here, the academy didn't let out yet?", Naruto arrived at his training grounds to find Gluttony and Envy sparring, Sloth asleep under a tree, most likely there to keep those two from going off and starting trouble.

"It didn't...some stuff happened and I just left, I came to find out something...but it can wait, Gluttony, Envy, let's have a spar", Naruto said as a small grin spread across his face, starting to shift from his left to his right foot, knowing Envy was unpredictable when starting a fight.

"...Hehe, All right!", Envy said as a wide grin spread across his face, Gluttony grinned as well, unleashing a barrage of wood shards, Naruto was knocked back by a powerful kick from Envy and crossed his arms in front of his face, instead of being covered in gashes by the onslaught, Naruto received a few hairline, shallow cuts, Envy quirked an eyebrow but played it off.

Naruto back pedaled as his surrogate cousin came down with both fists, the impact causing rocks to tilt upwards Naruto snapped his fingers on his right hand and waved his left, snapping them as well and sending two orange energy bolts, Envy being caught in the blast, Gluttony flying from the smoke cloud, grabbing Naruto by his head and swinging him through the air and letting him fly, crashing in to the ground.

"Agha!", Naruto grunted, coughing up blood as he bounced in to the air, Envy ran at him with his injuries still healing and struck him in the ribs with a powerful kick, sending the blond flying away, Naruto hitting the ground and rolling, bouncing up a couple times, he bounced again, this time to his feet, Gluttony and Envy running towards him full tilt.

Naruto smirked and ran towards them, if Envy didn't know any better, he could've sworn he saw a glow in Naruto's eyes, something that was familiar but he couldn't place from where. Gluttony spit up a large rock he had eaten beforehand, Naruto rearing back with his fingers bent to resemble claws, he slashed, the rock splitting in to five pieces and Naruto ran through.

'What?'. Envy and Naruto thought, the blond hadn't even meant to do that, the idea just came to him and he did it.

'What the hell is happening today?'. Naruto was cut from his thoughts by Envy's fist coming within mere inches of his face, Naruto's pupils shrank and time seemed to slow down for the whiskered blond. Naruto spun around the fist, the back of his own striking Envy on the side of his head. Naruto kicked his feet out from under him and grabbed on to the Homunculus's ankle, spinning around and slamming him in to Envy, he followed up with two energy bolts, the two of them being caught in the intense flames.

"What the hell was that? I've never seen you move like that kid", Envy said as the smoke cleared, both he and Gluttony burned but healing from the attack.
Naruto shook his head and he was back to normal.

"What happened?", Naruto asked, "I think I blacked out for a second".

"...We should talk to Wrath about that, that some weird shit", Envy said, "You said you came here to find out something, what was it?".

"...Ah, It's not important now, Where are Wrath, Pride, Tou-san and Kaa-san, I haven't heard from them since I left?", Naruto asked. Envy shrugged.

"They just disappeared this morning...Come on, let's keep going, you need the training brat", Envy said, dropping in to his fighting stance along with Gluttony.
Naruto smirked.

"What the hell are you talking about, i just kicked you ass a second ago, but if you insist", Naruto said, dropping in to his stance as well. And the three of them continued to fight. Sloth sleeping peacefully under the shade of a tree, ignoring the searing heat and crashes of the Three Homunculus going at it.


Midnight...

Itachi stood atop an electrical pole overlooking the Uchiha compound. He was looking at the Konoha hitae-ate in his hand, a Leaf marking his allegiance.

"Sasuke...Mother...For what I am about to do...I apologize", he mumbled, dawning the bandana, he opened his eyes to reveal his Sharingan activated. A masked figure appeared silently on a nearby rooftop.

"Let's go".

"...Right". Itachi unsheathed the Katana from his back and disappeared.


"Fugaku! What is going on!", Mikoto screamed, she and her husband had been awoken in the middle of the night by pained screams and wails of agony, lights could seen from outside, upon inspection were fires burning outside, burning bodies.

Mikoto and Fugaku ran outside, the Uchiha Matriarch wanting to go look for Sasuke, who hadn't come home yet but knowing Fugaku would strike her for putting Sasuke ahead of the clan as the prideful bastard hadn't received the proper message when he had fought Itachi. Bodies littered the streets, the Uchiha crest on buildings were slashed or burning in flames, bodies of clansmen and women mutilated, all the Sharingan wielders eyes were removed.

"Dammit! Who is doing this, Who!", Fugaku roared, his dual katana and Sharingan glinting in the moonlight.

SQUELCH!

The sound of metal piercing flesh reached Mikoto's ears, she looked at Fugaku who was standing completely still, blood started to stain his mid-section before bursting out, his arms going limp and dropping the swords, Mikoto screamed in terror and fell back as her now late husband fell in to two halves, blood pooling around his body. Itachi stood in the darkness, his Sharingan glowing brightly in the light.

"I-Itachi-kun...Why?".

"...It had to be done mother...I am truly sorry...but this wretched clan had to die, there was no other option...", Itachi said, his grip on the katana tightening.

"I am sorry", he sped towards her, Mikoto's eyes widened in fear as her world seemed to slow down and shatter, her own son, whom she loved dearly, was trying to kill her. Out of nowhere a speedy blur clashed with Itachi, the two of them disappearing in Shunshin and continuing their high speed battle.

"Hmmm, It appears we had an uninvited guest...No matter, I sure Itachi can handle it", Mikoto's eyes widened, she turned around to see a masked figure in an all black tattered cloak that was moving in the breeze standing a few feet away.

"Rest in piece...Mikoto-chan", he said in an almost joyed tone, brandishing a katana and reflecting her face in it. He appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye with the sword raised, her eyes widened further. As it came down, she closed her eyes, waiting for her impending death. It never came, only the sword of steel clashing with steel.

"Trying to kill an innocent woman...An unforgivable act", she opened her eyes to see a man standing to her right, one arm behind his back, the other holding a saber and blocking the assailants sword, dressed in a blue military style uniform.

The man jumped back as dark, shining object came out of nowhere and crashed in to the wall surrounding her house, it pulled itself out to reveal a metallic body.

"That's just fucked up", it said. The masked assailant was silent, he ducked forward and dodged a slash from a figure behind him and jumped back as it slashed again.

"scum like you don't deserve to live", this time it was a woman. Dark tendrils shot up and attacked him from directions, he speedily blocked and knocked away each one, back flipping away as they all shot up and then quickly down, kicking up a cloud of smoke, the tendrils retracting. A small boy standing near them.

"Do you need assistance?", Mikoto turned her head to look at the sword wielder, his hand offered to her to help her up. She took it.

"...Thank you", she mumbled.

"Our pleasure, My associates and I will handle this man, Pride, look after her won't you", the small child nodded.

"Greed, Lust", The man said, unsheathing the other saber. The metallic creature known as Greed rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck. The Woman known as Lust lengthened her claws which glinted in the moonlight, running her tongue along the sharpened edge.

"...What are you?", the masked man asked.

"...We are Sin", Wrath said.


With Itachi...

Itachi back flipped on to the roof of a nearby building, the shadowed figure appeared and stabbed, Itachi blocking it and being thrown back by the force. The figure disappeared in a burst of speed and attacked from multiple directions, using Shunshin to do so.

Itachi let loose a barrage of shuriken and just as the figure was about to attack, the Uchiha prodigy let loose a barrage of kunai and changed the direction of all the weapons, the figure using Shunshin in succession and appeared in front of Itachi, the two of crossing blades.

"Gonna have to do better than that Itachi". A ghost of a smirk appeared on the Uchiha prodigy's face.

"You were the only one who could ever dodge that technique, and best me in a fight...", Itachi said.

"5 wins, 7 losses, 20 draws, and I'm gonna make 6 tonight".

"I would expect no less...Shisui", Itachi's blade turned to reflect the moonlight, showing a single Sharingan, a pale skinned young man with disheveled black hair, bandages covering his left eye. A smirk on his face

"Let's go, Itachi!", Shisui said, his smirk turning in to a full blown grin.


Surprise! Tell me what you think.

Really, this is only a Cliffy for one of you readers, cause he is the only one who knew. Read and Review. Constructive Criticism appreciated.

Do Not give me shit, I know Shisui is dead, just wait until next chapter and you will get you answers. Hehehe, I told there would be surprises!

Uhmmm...I don't think I have anything else to say, except this of course...

Ja Ne - Alphawolf.
