I believe things cannot make themselves impossible
Stephen Hawking
Sakura cursed under her breath as she placed her hands on stomach,rubbing it soothingly. Sakura didnt even have to rack through her already muddled brain, to know that this child was coming way too early,two months early anyways.
"Sakura"
Sakura looked up at Konan who was watching her carefully. "I'm fine I promise"
Konan eyed Sakura carefully before placing a hand on the frantic medics shoulder. "You're not,What's going on"
Inhaling and exhaling multiple times, Sakura calmed down slightly before speaking "If I'm not mistaken I believe my water just broke"
Grey eyes widened slightly "Aren't you early"
Sakura nodded "Two months early"
"Is there anyone you can trust to deliver the child
She opened her mouth to speak then quickly shut her mouth
"Who Sakura"
"My Shishou but she's dead"
Sighing softly Konan looked up to the sky,causing Sakura to look up and watch as a small butterfly came flying towards them at a quick pace.
"I can't deliver this child without help,scratch that, I won't deliver this child here alone and in the middle of this forest"
"Can you deliver her in the village" Konan asked as she turned her attention away from the butterfly to Sakura.
Sakura shook her head "It'll be too dangerous to deliver with root ninjas lurking everywhere"
Konan sighed "The best I can do is get you away from this village"
"You're going to help me deliver" Sakura asked
Konan shook her head "Someone else is"
"Who"
"That's not the important thing at the moment Sakura,The only problem is that their six hours away"
Sakura simply stared at Konan "Six hours away!"
Konan nodded
Sighing softly Sakura began to think over her options and that was either deliver this child by herself as Konan stayed on guard or she could bear the pain as much as she could as they traveled six hours away to meet some random person to help her deliver this child.
"Sakura"
"Alright,Alright We'll have to go"
Konan nodded as she made the appropriate hand-signs. Sakura watched on as what seemed like millions of pieces of paper came out of nowhere and began making wings on her back. Konan carefully reached out and grabbed ahold of Sakura "I'll try to make it as comfortable as possible"
Sakura nodded and soon they were off.
Three sets of red eyes narrowed slightly then widened as they adjusted to the dark. Itachi was walking the narrow hallways in the Hokage tower,with Shisui and Sasuke following behind him closely, and from the intel that Itachi had gathered just hours before arriving at the village, that Danzou had supposedly locked himself in the Hokage Tower. Itachi smirked inwardly at his cowardice, If he thought that the walls of this building, along with the dozen of Roots and Sound ninjas,that he stationed outside of the Hokage Tower,would keep him out he would sadly be mistaken. Giving the signal, the three Uchiha's broke apart and began searching the deserted Hokage's tower.
Itachi swiftly and silently undid the remaining buttons of his Akatsuki clock and quickly discarded it. Once the cloak was gone,He reached behind him and pulled his katana,which had been strapped to his back,out of it's sheath as he walked into the Hokage's main office. Walking over to the desk, Red eyes scanned over the documents that had been scattered across the desk. Blinking a couple a times,Itachi picked up a couple of sheets of paper and looked closely. Red eyes then narrowed,the documents that were in his hands were personal files of the Uchiha clan. Files that had been hidden away in the Uchiha vault. Itachi quickly came to the conclusion that Danzou must of used Shisui's eye to find the vault when they had fled from the village all of those months ago.
"Itachi"
Itachi's head snapped up as he caught sight of Sasuke standing in the doorway. He watched closely as Sasuke made his way towards the desk. "What are those"
Itachi grabbed the documents and slid them away from Sasuke "Documents that came from our family vault"
Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly before looking up from the documents to Itachi with a slight frown on his quickly raised the katana and took a swipe at Sasuke who quickly sidestepped the attack and counter with his own.
"Itachi what are you doing"
Dropping the katana Itachi quickly engaged Sasuke just as he reached into his pouch and grabbed a kunai knife catching Itachi squarely in the side. Brushing off the wound,Itachi kicked Sasuke in the stomach,with much force and sent him crashing through a wall. Watching slowly as the dust cleared Itachi could hear Sasuke as he let out a low manically laugh as he rose to his feet.
"Show your true form Orochimaru"Itachi seethed
Another low laugh erupted through his lips as he opened his mouth with his long tongue coming out and swiping back and forth before retreating back in his mouth. Orochimaru quickly revealed himself. "I was wondering what took you so long to recognize me" He smirked.
Itachi stayed silent as he blinked once and then twice,waiting for his vision to clear up.
"Is there something wrong with your eyesight"Orochimaru teased as he took a step forward. "Itachi"
Itachi stayed silent as he watched the snake nin
Orochimaru laughed "You're battle is not with me and you know it, You're looking for the man that slaughtered your whole clan and personally made your life a living hell"
Itachi glared at Orochimaru when Itachi suddenly charged towards him, Itachi, for the most part was keeping up with Orochimaru's movement, until his vision had started to double. Itachi quickly gave a swift kick to Orochimaru,which he quickly blocked, Quickly recovering Itachi lathed his fingers together then slammed his conjoined hands against Orochimaru's back. With Orochimaru slightly stunned Itachi threw a kunai knife,which was tacked with paper bomb just as Orochimaru tackled Itachi out of the window. A loud explosion rocked through the building as two sets of sharingan turned their attention towards the sound. Disappearing and reappearing quickly Itachi and Orochimaru stood several meters apart.
"I've always wanted to test my curse seal out on you Uchiha" Orochimaru smiled wickedly "You'll be the perfect lab rat."
Itachi frowned slightly as he pulled out another kunai knife. Just as they were about to engage each other again,a body came crashing down in-between the two, His body landed with a loud thud causing both Itachi and Orochimaru to glance up to see Sasuke jumping out the window with another root ninja trailing after him. With a flick of the wrist Itachi hurled the knife at the man,which caught him squarely in the forehead. Sasuke landed in a crouch position as his sight stayed on Orochimaru.
Orochimaru liked his lips"Must be my lucky day,I get two Uchiha's at the price of one"
"Like hell you are"Sasuke spoke as he rose from the crouched position. Walking over to his brother, Sasuke took notice of the bruises and the bleeding wound.
"Why all of the delay" Orochimaru smiled
"Where is he"Sasuke asked
"Defeat me and I'll tell you"
Sasuke huffed "Suit yourself
Itachi nodding quickly as he and Sasuke quickly fell into an attack position and were soon rushing towards Orochimaru. Even without being in the prime of his life it wasn't surprising the legendary sannin was keeping up with the two Uchiha's. As they delivered blow after blow, It seemed that he had already depicted their moves. Sasuke let out a loud cry as he threw a high punch as Itachi did a low quickly blocked Itachi's attack,punching Sasuke and sending him hurling backwards until he skidded several feet away. As Itachi was kept up with the onslaught, Sasuke quickly got up,shaking himself out of the slight daze,pushed chakra into his legs,quickly rejoined his brother. Itachi swiftly caught Orochimaru in his jaw as Sasuke quickly dug out a kunai knife,from his brother's pouch and quickly cut into the air, just millimeters from Orochimaru throat. Orochimaru quickly stepped back and watch as the two Uchiha brother's glared at him. Orochimaru disappeared then reappeared before Itachi and just as Itachi was about to doge the attack, a loud caw caught his attention for a millisecond and Orochimaru quickly cut him across his midsection and hitting him hard,sending him sliding backwards several feet. Sasuke appeared in-front of his brother as Itachi slowly got back up to his feet, placing his hand over the large gash on his stomach. Itachi glanced up at Orochimaru before looking back up at the sky. He quickly noticed that the bird,who was still flying somewhat high,was acting very erratically.
Sakura
"Itachi" Itachi didn't even have to look back to know that it was Shisui heading towards them.
"Where is she" Itachi asked never taking his eyes off of Orochimaru.
"She's with Konan"
Itachi frowned. He knew that something was wrong but had the slightest idea of what it could be
"I know where he is"
Itachi turned towards his cousin "Where"
"In a village about six hours away from here"
Itachi quickly exhaled and before he could even open his mouth Shisui spoke up
"Go ahead,Me and Sasuke can finish up here"
Itachi looked from his cousin to his brother,who was still staring at looked on and then turned to leave when Sasuke's voice stopped him.
"Itachi make him pay for what he did to our clan"
Itachi nodded and disappeared
Several Miles Out
Sakura exhaled deeply as another contraction rocked through her body. As much as she wanted to squeeze Konan's hand,which she had did a couple of times, she knew that the missing-nin needed to concentrate on where they were going and not on the pregnant woman who was in pure agony.
"How far are we" Sakura spoke as she tried to focus on her breathing"
"We're almost there" Konan spoke cutting her eyes towards the scared medic.
It wasn't long until they had arrived to a small village,which Sakura had concluded that the village had been placed there when the treaty between Konoha and Sound had been created. As they began to land Sakura blinked a couple of times before she realized that she wasn't actually hallucinating. Standing out and front was Shizune,who was fighting a smile.
"Shizune" Sakura called out as she stayed close to Konan,who she was leaning on "Please tell me your going to help me"
Shizune shook her head "I'm only assisting"
"Assisting who"
"Me"
Sakura turned away from Shizune as her green eyes met gold eyes. Standing before her clad in her usual attire, was the woman that had taught her for many years. A woman that had raised Sakura to be the woman that she was today and even though she was in slight pain,Sakura couldn't help the smile that graced her lips or the tear sliding down his face.
"Shishou"
Tsunade smiled at Sakura. "It's nice to see you too Sakura and I know that you have questions that need answers and I'll explain later"
Sakura nodded as another contraction ripped through her body.
"Shizune help Konan get her in here" Tsunade snapped as she rushed off into a nearby building. Shizune quickly made it over to Konan and they helped Sakura into the building. Once Sakura had been placed in a room,Tsunade quickly propped Sakura's feet up.
"Sakura how long have you been bleeding"
The medic froze "B-Bleeding"
"Sakura, stay calm or I won't be able to help either or you"
Sakura closed her eyes then opened them again "It may of started a couple of miles when we had left Konoha's gates"
Tsunade nodded as she let her chakra engulf her hand."I'm going to check on the baby Sakura"
Sakura nodded as she felt slight pressure. "Sakura we might have to do an emergency c-section okay"
Sakura nodded again and just as Tsunade pulled her hand Sakura caught sight of the blood she blacked out.
"Start me an IV quickly"
She could feel the movement
"Sakura"
She could still hear the heartbeat
"If she doesn't come to in the next minute I'll have to go in"
She could feel the presence
"Sakura"
Green eyes snapped open as the tapping on the side of her face ceased. Sakura looked down around the room,at Shizune, a couple of nurses then at Tsunade.
"I swear I thought I was going to have to knock you back conscious" Tsunade muttered as she watched Sakura carefully."
"I'm fine,go before its too late"
Tsunade nodded as she reached over to the table and grabbed the scalpel. Focusing her chakra into the scalpel Tsunade looked up at Sakura "I've numbed you as much as I can you might still feel some pressure"
Sakura nodded and then turned her head as the scalpel made contact with her skin. Biting down on her lip Sakura had to repress the slight scream that threaten to escape through her poorly sealed lips.
"Almost there Sakura" Tsunade coaxed
A low moan escape through Sakura's lips as Tsunade stopped and handed the scalpel to Shizune, she then braced herself as she slowly placed her hand into Sakura's stomach and pulled the child out.
Sakura inhaled deeply as she listened as Tsunade handed the child to Shizune,who was now holding a clean blanket,After placing the child in a specially designed crib and administering a series of test. Just as Sakura had began to fade back into the darkness,she could hear the faintest of cries in the room.
"Congratulations Sakura,It's a beautiful baby girl"
Then complete darkness
1 Hour Later
Itachi arrived on the outskirts of the village,with a hand securely placed around his midsection,which was still bleeding quite a bit. He knew that pushing his chakra into his already deteriorating eyes would cause him to become blinder much quickly than expected but he was going to kill Danzou even if it meant losing his eyesight or something even worse,like losing his life. As long as Sakura and their child was ok,Itachi could die a peaceful man. Scanning the dense forest Itachi quickly found Danzou. Taking off it took him no time reach the man.
"I was wondering if you would show up" Danzou spoke with his back towards Itachi
"Did you not expect me to exact revenge on you for killing my clan"
"Their deaths were all because of a great cause"
Itachi stayed silent as he glared at the man
"Just as the life of your dear wife and child shall be"
Itachi froze
"As we are speaking,I have someone poising your little family and there is nothing you can do about it"
Itachi huffed and just as he was about to turn away, Danzou had appeared before him smiling."I would let you watch them die but you'll join them sooner or later" Danzou then delivered a swift kick to Itachi's midsection which stunned him,causing Danzou to land several hits on Itachi. Danzou smiled as he watched Itachi struggle to his feet.
"And here I thought the great Itachi Uchiha was invincible" Danzou smiled. Danzou took a step towards Itachi only to jump back as several paper shuriken came barreling towards him. Danzou looked up and watched as Konan appeared alongside Itachi,helping him to his feet.
"Look at this,Two criminals working together"Danzou smiled.
Konan never took her eyes off of Danzou as she stepped in-front of Itachi
"Why would you even help him" Danzou asked watching Konan carefully
Konan remained silent
"Nevertheless the reason,either way you'll both die"
"Go Itachi"
Itachi didn't even have to say anything before he disappeared leaving Konan and Danzou staring at each other.
It didn't take Itachi long to make it back to the small village. Closing his eyes he quickly tried to focus on Sakura's chakra. When he did find it,He immediately noticed that her chakra had gone down significantly. It took no time for Itachi to locate where she was. When he walked into the room,He saw Tsunade and Shizune standing over Sakura with their chakra flaring quickly. Walking over to her bedside,she smiled at him even though she had been through so much when it came to him and their child. Running the back of his bloody hand over her cheek,which she gladly leaned into.
"Itachi"
"Shhh, I'm here Sakura"
"I couldn't stop her from taking our daughter"
"Sakura stop talking"Tsunade spoke cutting her eyes up to Sakura and then going back to extracting the poison.
"Get her back Itachi" Sakura pleaded as she sighed softly and then closing her eyes.
"Sakura"Tsunade snapped as she all but shoved Itachi out of the way. He released a breath,that he didn't realize that he was holding. He then walked out of the door as Tsunade called out for a crash cart. Closing his eyes,Itachi could feel something inside of him snap. Opening his eyes,blood slowly poured out of Itachi's eyes as his tome's began swirling wildly before stopping. He could feel the chakra gathering into his eyes, and along with this feeling he could feel his eyesight quickly stabilizing.
"All of the exits have been blocked off,She can't get out" A nurse spoke as she passed by the Uchiha into the room,where Sakura was. Itachi huffed loudly and quickly ran through the small hospital-like building,finding the woman in no time. Itachi stepped into the room and watched as the nurse held a syringe above his daughter.
"One step closer and I'll plunge it into her heart"The nurse spoke as the syringe shook in her hand.
Itachi watched the woman carefully and before she could even register what was happening Itachi was in-front of her and had already lodged a kunai knife in her throat. As her body collapsed to the ground,Itachi swiftly caught his daughter and watched as a small cry left her tiny body. Red eyes stared at the tiny infant before moving slowly out of the room and just as he exited out of the room a couple of nurses came running towards him and stopping. He then carefully handed his daughter over to one of the nurses.
"I'm holding you personally accountable for my daughter,If something happens to her, you'll pay with your life" Itachi spoke as red eyes glared at the woman. The woman nodded quickly and in the blink of an eye He was gone.
Itachi had quickly located where Konan and Danzou were at. As he revealed himself He saw Konan standing over, with her hand griping his shoulder, with Danzou,who was on both knees facing Itachi's direction. Walking up to him Itachi looked down at him just as Konan forced his head up. Sharingan then stared at Sharingan.
"If you think you staring at me is going to scare me,It isn't"
"It's not mean to scare you,It's meant to send you to hell"
Itachi's tomes began swirling wildly and Danzou couldn't help but to stare as it merging into an twisted triangle,causing Danzou's pupils to dilate and a small amount of drool to come out of the old man's mouth.
Deactivating his sharingan,Itachi looked up at Konan "Preserve his body and contact Shisui and Sasuke and tell them to meet us here."
Konan nodded as paper flew by them and began wrapping themselves around Danzou's unresponsive body. As Itachi turned and got ready to leave he spoke
"Thank you" and with that Itachi disappeared heading back towards Sakura and their daughter.
