Author's Note: A long delay, I know everybody. A family emergency happened the week I was gonna post this chapter, and things got a little outta hand for a while. Luckily it's starting to cool down again, and I'm making it up to you guys by giving you this chapter.
Chapter 9:
Reminiscence
In the midst of the battle, Itachi's Susanoo appears before his resurrected parents. Neither of them are afraid, but because they are under Kabuto's control; Fugaku and Mikoto continue to use several of their clan's signature jutsus. However nothing happens to Itachi or the susanoo.
As Itachi moves his hand, so does the susanoo, "Is that really all you could muster?"
"Don't forget what I thought you, never get cocky with your opponent." the edo tensei Uchiha ordered, "Especially if that's your own father."
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you." a calm genius Uchiha said.
His resurrected mother raises an eyebrow, "When did you start cracking jokes?"
"Fire Style Cosmic Lava Spear" Fugaku uses a jutsu to penetrate through his son's susanoo, who blocks it with his own hand, "It's just like before right Itachi."
The genius Uchiha chuckles at his response, "You mean from back then."
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." Mikoto yells as her jutsu also lays a mark on her son, who blocks it with his shield. She continues to look annoyed, "Just what are you two talking about at a like this?"
"Don't you remember from back then?" Itachi asks his resurrected mother.
A couple months before The Uchiha Massacre:
The thirteen year old Itachi was concentrating his six shuriken on the targets placed within his general surrounding. Each shuriken makes it's hit, but one barely makes the mark because of his little brother Sasuke.
"Hew that was close." says a relieved Sasuke.
Itachi looked disappointed, "What were you doing?"
"Observing how you throw the shuriken at the designated targets." He answered.
The genius Uchiha facepalms, "So decide to do so by stepping into the middle of it?"
Sasuke scratches his head in embarrassment, "Sorry I didn't know you placed one of your targets right above from me."
A voice yells, "Itachi, Sasuke. Dinner is ready."
"Coming Mom." The young Sasuke rushes ahead of him.
Itachi follows his little brother to their house. His father and mother already took their seats. The two Uchiha brothers sat down as their mother filled their plate with delicious blazing noodles. They eat their respective dishes as Sasuke tastes the spiciness within his favorite dinner dish. A couple minutes later his mouth starts to burn as Itachi passes him two glasses of water.
"Take it easy Sasuke, it's not a race." His mother whacks him on the head.
Itachi slurps his string of noodles, "She does have a point."
"How has training been, Itachi?" Fugaku asked.
The young genius Uchiha slurps another string, "I'll show you after dinner."
"Of course." His father said, unimpressed.
Thirty minutes after The Uchiha family finish dinner, Itachi steps out of the house. Fugaku stand across from him. Sasuke and Mikoto sit on the porch as they watch the father and older son of their family. Itachi gets into his stance once his father is ready.
"Go for it." His father demanded.
Itachi nods, "Of course."
The two Uchiha charge at one another with kunai. A collision occurs before Itachi slips into his sharingan. This causes him to the avoid the kunai from hitting his father's, and instead both use fire style jutsu. At that moment several shuriken strike at Fugaku.
"Fire Style: Shuriken Detonation." The young Uchiha yells as his shuriken detonate.
A young Sasuke appears impressed, "Amazing."
"I wouldn't count your father out just yet." Mikoto crosses her arms with a grin.
Itachi looks disappointed, "We both know you're better than this."
The smokescreen disappears as a ribcage appears around Fugaku. Within a second the ribcage changes into a susanoo. It comes as a surprise to Itachi, his brother, and Mikoto.
The genius Uchiha doesn't react, "Susanoo."
"What is that?" Sasuke asks.
MIkoto says, "It's your father's most powerful jutsu."
"That was good." His father replied, "It would've worked had I not use this."
A grin appears on his face, "I can't say I'm surprised."
"Fire Style: Cosmic Lave Spear." The young Uchiha yells as fire comet spear strikes his father's susanoo.
The resurrected mother remembers, "Looks like the tables have turned."
"Took you long enough." an irritated Fugaku said.
Itachi sighed in annoyance, "I see so that's your motive."
Fugaku's susanoo appears before his older son and resurrected wife. It looks relatively similar to Itachi's except the color is green. The eyes are also red instead of yellow. He is forced to swing his sword toward Itachi.
"Even though you're being controlled." A disappointed Itachi blocks the sword with his own susanoo blade, "You should know that swinging the Susanoo sword at another susanoo is pointless to attempt, Father."
Back at mountain's Graveyard
Sasuke places his katana in it's case. Then he gets up on his feet as Karin finishes explaining to him about the current battle between Itachi and his parents.
"...That's pretty much it." The redhead sensory ninja explained.
Tobi crosses his arms, "I think it'll be best for you to stay put."
"I grow impatient of waiting." an irriated Sasuke said.
Tobi looks him in the eye, "Relax it's only a matter of time."
I know guys, the endings will keep on coming. Other than there isn't much I have to say about the chapter with the exception of the flashback of course. Next chapter is where things will start getting heated for The Shinobi Bloodbath War Arc, and as always thanks for reading.
