(Kabuto's Secret Base, Land of Fire)

Team Kitsune Flash walks down a corridor of doors, looking to find Kabuto.

"Mistress, do you see him," asks Temptress. Mistress uses her Byakugan to scan all the doors.

"Not yet, but I feel that we are getting closer. The chakra is getting mire sinister as we walk down."

"Let's find this snake and cut its head off," says Huntress cracking her knuckles. She looks to Naruto, who seems to be in deep thought. "You ok, Kitsune-sama?" The blond Jinchuuriki looks to his team.

"You seem uneasy. Is there something on your mind," asks Mistress.

"I'm OK guys. It's just I feel like something bad is gonna happen," he says. Huntress puts her hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"It's OK Naruto. I think I know what's wrong." Naruto looks to his second in command. "You feel angry that Kabuto made you fight your father, so you want to end him yourself." The man known as Kitsune Flash looked down to the ground.

"It's just, when he made me fight my father, I just felt so much rage," he says. "I want to rip him to shreds." His fist clutches. The three kunoichi look to their leader with sadness.

"Naruto-kun," says Hinata until she suddenly feels an overwhelming dark presence near them. "Guys! I think I found him!" The others follow her lead to a door. "There's no mistake; Kabuto is behind this door." Sakura tightens her gloves, Ino grabs a kunai and gets ready for the fight, and Naruto summons a Shadow Clone.

"Get ready team! Kabuto is just around this door," says Naruto. "Be on guard!"

"You got it," says Ino as they open the door and walk in. The team looks in shock to see they were in a giant cave with stalactites and stalagmites.

"What the hell," says Naruto as they venture deeper into the cave before they hear a chuckling.

"Well, well. You managed to defeat my Sound Ninja 4. But from the looks of it, you all seem tired. Just give up and become my new test subject." Team Kitsune Flash stands ready.

"We aren't giving up and we sure as hell aren't gonna become your puppets," says Sakura, much to Kabuto's amusement.

"My, my. I see you've gotten bolder, Sakura-chan. And here I thought the only thing you cared about was Sasuke," he says. Sakura's eyes widen. "Oh that's right! Sasuke didn't like you ever in his life and Naruto-kun took most of the heat for that. I did hear that Naruto-kun hated you for a long time and snapped at you." Sakura's eyes tear up as she falls to her knees. Naruto glares.

"Shut up Kabuto! Sakura-chan is my best friend and I will never hate her," he says. Sakura looks to Naruto.

"Naruto."

"You've played with people's emotions too much. It's time you pay the price! Now show yourself, snake scum!"

"Very well," says Kabuto as he walks out from behind a stalagmite. "Let's get down to business."

(Konohagakure, Land of Fire)

Itachi's crow followed the unknown figure from Kushina's house to a secret door and flew back to its master a couple feet back.

"Who is trying to spy on Kushina-san? Is it Danzo?" The Uchiha genius stealthily walks in to the door and stays in the shadows. He walks down a series of steps to find a giant underground sanctuary. There dozens of ANBU Shinobi, but they didn't wear the standard attire; they wore black cloaks.

"Wait, I remember these people," Itachi says in his head. "These guys are ROOT, a secret organization led by Danzo. I thought Lord Third ordered them to be disbanded." He looks to see the figure he was following walk up to the front of the group and kneel before a certain man.

"So, what is the report of your mission? What of Itachi Uchiha," says the man before turning around to reveal the old war hawk himself.

"He is guarding Kushina Uzumaki. We won't be able to make our move," the figure says in a voice that made Itachi's eyes widen.

"No. Don't tell me."

"You've done well, my new apprentice. Soon, I will become Hokage and you can have everything you want," says Danzo as the figure removes his mask and cloak to reveal a face that Itachi knew all too well. The man who was spying on him was none other than his own brother, Sasuke Uchiha. Itachi looked in shock to see his brother join the one who ordered the execution of his entire clan.

"All I want is to kill my brother, Naruto, his team, and everyone he loves, starting with his mother," Sasuke says with a sinister smile. Itachi starts to retreat before accidentally knocking a pebble over the cliff, alerting the several of ROOT members in the room. Sasuke looks to see his brother and smiles. "Well, looks like my wish will come true." Itachi dashes out of there as Danzo looks to Sasuke.

"Make sure that traitor doesn't escape."

"As you wish, sensei," says Sasuke as he runs after Itachi, Danzo smirking.

"All will be mine."

(Kabuto's Secret Base, Land of Fire)

Naruto ran at Kabuto with a Rasengan in his hand.

"I'm going to end you Kabuto! RASENGAN!" The spiraling blue orb makes contact with his opponent's chest. The three kunoichi smile.

"He got him," says Ino.

"Nice one, Naruto," says Sakura. Suddenly, their smiles are wiped away as they see Kabuto was unfazed by Naruto's attack.

"Was that it? I must say, I'm a little disappointed," he says as Naruto jumps back.

"You hit him with a giant compressed chakra ball and it didn't even scratch him," says Sakura in disbelief. Kabuto smirks before rushing at the group.

"Let me show you the fruits of my training," he says swinging at Hinata. The Hyuga Princess dodges out of the way of the way, only to get knocked back into a wall.

"Hinata," calls out Sakua as she runs to help her friend. "Are you OK?"

"Yeah. But he didn't even touch me." Sakura looks in shock.

"So how were you sent flying into this wall?" Naruto looks at Kabuto.

"First my Rasengan fails to make a dent in him and second he sends Hinata flying without touching her." His eyes widen in realization. "It couldn't be!" Kabuto lunges at Ino with a kick, that misses but still sends her flying.

"What the hell?! How are you doing that," she yells in frustration.

"You guys! I've figured it out!" Everyone looks at Naruto.

"What's up," asks Sakura.

"Kabuto's fighting style, it's no ordinary fighting style. It's Sage Mode!" The three kunoichi look in shock.

"You mean the style that Jiraiya-sama uses? But I only thought it was for toads," says Ino.

"During my training with Fukasaku-sama, I learned that there's a place for Sage Training, but for snakes. It's called Ryuchi Cave." Kabuto smiles.

"So you know about the snake's Sage Mode? Impressive. Yes, I went to the White Snake Sage, who bit me and imbued me with natural energy, granting me the power of Sage Mode. BEHOLD!" He rips off his cloak and team Kitsune Flash looks in shock. Kabuto had yellow, snake-like irides and blackened sclerae, as well as purple pigmentation around his eyes that extended down to his shoulder blades. There was a giant white snake protruding from his navel and wrapped around his body.

"He's like a monster," says Hinata.

"Wrong, miss Hyuga! I am a dragon, far far above you puny mortals! NOW DIE!"

(Konohagakure, Land of Fire)

Itachi ran away from the ROOT hideout, moving towards the Hokage residence.

"I must alert Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama about this. Danzo must be stopped." Suddenly, he hears a sound of chirping birds and turns around to see Sasuke, Chidori aimed at him. Itachi jumps out of the way as his brother smashes his hand into the roof of a building.

"Going somewhere, brother," Sasuke says with a sinister smile.

"Sasuke, why are you teaming up with Danzo? He's an evil man," says Itachi.

"Really? After you murdered our clan and parents, you say he's the evil one," scoffs Sasuke. The elder Uchiha looks in dispair. He knew he would have to tell him.

"Sasuke, you don't understand! He's-!"

"The one who told you to murder our clan? Yes I know all about that." Itachi looks in shock.

"He told you?

"Yes."

"Then why are you teaming with him," says Itachi.

"Because the clan was weak. Konoha is weak. Under Danzo's rule, we'll all be saved. And the only one standing the way are you and Naruto." Itachi looks in sadness. His brother had went too deep into darkness.

"Sasuke, what has happened to you," he says in his mind.

"Enough talk! Now die!" Sasuke charges at Itachi and slashes at his throat with Kusanagi. Itachi jumps out of the way before he feel a sharp stab in his back. He turns around to see another Sasuke behind him, his Chidori spear puncturing through his back and out from below his ribs. "You got too lax, brother."

"Sasuke, you should quit this path while you're ahead. If you go further, all you will do is end up worst than before." Itachi's eyes close as his brother rips his spear out of his body.

"Pathetic," says Sasuke as he walks away, unknowing that their was someone watching from the shadows and rushing towards Itachi's body. The figure checks for a pulse, getting a faint beating.

"Hold on Itachi. I'll get you to help," says the figure, picking up his body and running towards the Hokage tower.

To Be Continued

Hey guys! Sorry if this chapter isn't as long as the other chapters but I had a long day with my dad, going to a Comic Con in my hometown and all that. And don't worry. I'm not killing off Itachi. I just need to keep the suspense on high. Hoped you enjoyed! I wanted to make Sasuke look like a giant jerk so it would be more satisfying to serve his comeuppance.
