CHAPTER 7: MANGEKYOU?

Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter today! I'm not completely sure what I'll do with this chapter. I just know a new power will be unlocked.

DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters I use except Kitsune Koji. Eveline is a friend's character. Their ID is at the end of chapter 2. His name is ThatOneNate. Look him up sometime.

LETSA GO!

I got back from my shopping extravaganza and went to my room, storing all the junk food I got so that no one would find it. I went out to where Eveline and Fukasaku were still trying to figure out what happened. I walked up to them, and they turned to look at me.

"Oh!" Fukasaku said. "You're back!"

"Oh," Eveline said. "You're back."

"You seem excited to see me, Eveline!" I said, poking a bit of fun.

"SHUT UP!" She yelled as loud as she could. We all went in for dinner.

After dinner, I was sitting in my room when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said. The door opened, and Eveline stepped in. She closed the door behind me and looked around my room.

"Yeah?" I said, returning her attention to me.

"Hey." She began. "I can see you're getting ready to leave."

"What makes you think that?" I asked.

"The way you act. It suggests you believe you have learnt all you can learn here. I was wondering if I could go with you." Eveline said quietly. I looked at her incredulously.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because Fukasaku won't let me leave without someone monitoring me to make sure I don't go to Gio on my own." She said.

"I see," I said. I didn't know what to do. It would be good to have some company, and her medical ninjutsu could be useful, but if she died…

"I promise I will take full responsibility for anything that happens to me." She said. That was what I was looking for.

"Alright. You may come with me when I leave. BUT!" I shouted, grabbing her attention, "You must go with me to the old Uchiha Hideout and train with Tsunade while I train with Sasuke." I said.

"Alright!" She shouted and ran out of my room. I closed the door and lied down. I fell asleep extremely quickly.

The next morning, I woke up to see Fukasaku standing by my bed. I looked over at him.

"Come with me. Immediately." He said, leaving no room for argument. I went with him to a medical building. There, Gamakichi was sitting.

"Gamakichi has developed a terminal illness. It is the same one who took out your great uncle, Itachi Uchiha. Shima and I have done all we can, but we can't cure him. He wanted to talk to you in private." He said. He turned around and hopped out. I walked over to Gamakichi. I had become close to him in my free time.

"Kitsune...I sense your presence." He said. I looked at him.

"Yeah, I'm here," I said past the lump in my throat.

"Listen, and do not interrupt. I have contracted a terminal illness. I will die soon, and I hate it. I haven't done much for the resistance, and Gio remains free. Kitsune! You are a descendant of both Indra and Asura. You are a great shinobi. You are the only one who can stop Gio." He broke off into a fit of coughing. "Therefore, I must give you a going away present. You have a sharingan, and I have a set amount of time until death. Kitsune! I must ask you for one last favour. Promise you will carry it out!"

"I...promise," I said, barely holding back tears.

"Kitsune! Please...use your jutsu...to kill me." He said.

"WHAT?" I shouted. "I can't do that!"

"You must. You are attached to me enough that killing me would awaken your mangekyou sharingan, and it would end my suffering. You need the power, Kitsune."

"I…" I stammered, my resolve weakening. He was suffering. It was obvious. He couldn't do anything against Gio, and he was dying.

"Please, Kitsune." He begged. I gave in and formed a chidori…

A couple of minutes later I walked out past Fukasaku, ignoring him completely. I went back to my room and collapsed on my bed. I went to sleep instantly and woke up that night. I got up and went outside.

"I will avenge you, Gamakichi," I said as I looked up into the sky with my newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan activated. "I will make them pay."

That one was shorter, but after the 1700 words last time, I was a little tired. Any tips? Any suggestions? Reviews are welcome!

Also, I am looking for someone who would be willing to beta read my chapters going forward. PM me if you're interested.
