Itachi Must Die!... A series of short stories involving swift, nonsensical demises for Uchiha Itachi under completely ridiculous and even retarded circumstances. Occasional Sasuke+Sakura.
---------- Itachi Must Die: Editorial ----------
Silence plagued the stage as the audience exchanged short whispers about what was going on and awaited the emergance of the tenth Itachi Must Die! Omake. Lights were out, but they could hear vague shuffling about the stage as if someone were bumbling around upon it...
Finally, spotlights were shown down on the stage and a familiar shark faced man wearing a very serious expression stood behind the microphone, his pasty lips in a negative frown. He was obviously very focused on whatever he was doing there.
When the crowd gathered began to yell angrily and throw things at Kisame, he sternly stood his ground. Taking a deep breath, he spoke finally(hoping to stop the incessant screaming of the audience), "My name is Hoshigaki Kisame, and I am here to protest the making of these Omakes."
Casting a glance back, Kisame nodded his head causing two people to step up beside him. "These two are flamers of Hanako-chan's Itachi Must Die! Omake Series; their names have been changed to protect the reputation of these fine blokes," he explained and the one on the left shot an arm into the air.
"My name is Bill, and I believe I am speaking for a vast amount of Naruto fans when I say that this Omake Series is rubbish! First off, the author claims incorrect things about our precious Itachi-sama!" he shouted. His companion raised his head with a bored look on his face.
"My name is Bob and I'm here 'cause Bill made me," he stated, before being abruptly elbowed in the side. He then raised his left index finger into the air. "I mean, I am here to protest this, uh..." Bill leaned in and quickly whispered the title into Bob's ear, "Itachi Must Die!, yup."
Kisame's expression hardened. "This series is unfair to Itachi-chan!" he called, pointing out to the crowd. Random sighs and yawns of boredom could be heard from the throngs of people. "Itachi-chan had a reason for doing what he did, there's no such thing as good and evil -- the author said so herself!"
Hanako-chan smiled from the front row before raising her hand. Kisame blinked. "That quote is for my Original Fiction, The Two Sides of Chaos. I have no idea how Kishimoto Masashi-sensei perceives things," she spoke up, before glancing over at the cast of that very story who were lined up in seats beside herself. She then glanced back at the crowd with a big smile as she placed a hand on Shugou's head. He looked up at her with a slight frown.
"About that Original Fiction, the main character is Karite Shugou-kun here -- he recently appeared in one of the Omakes. The Two Sides is a really awesome story, please read it!" she added with a wink before turning to her other side where Toramaru and Saiko sat staring at the stage expectantly.
"And this is Gouma Toramaru-san. He recently appeared in the same Omake as Shugou-kun, and he has his own Original Fiction as well, written by Armor King-sensei. The name of it is Tale of a Shadow. Please read it as well!" she finished, dropping back into her seat.
"Oh, wait," she added, looking over at Orochimaru and Kabuto who were also seated in the crowd awaiting the tenth Omake, "I forgot to mention -- everyone keep your eyes open for a companion Omake Series to Itachi Must Die! by Armor King-sensei entitled Oreo Must Die!(Oreo Orochimaru)!" Hanako-chan breathed a sigh as she leaned back in her seat, finally done with her shameless plugging.
As soon as the lilac haired female was finished, Toramaru looked over at Shugou who looked back at him and nodded once. Toramaru breathed a low sigh before standing up as Shugou couldn't suppress a tiny smirk of amusement.
"The existance of something that blocks the light creates the shadow, you have lit a candle that must therefore be extinguished. In other words, remove yourself from the stage or Shugou and I will remove you," he stated in a very profound way as Shugou pushed himself up as well and stretched slightly before gripping the hilt of Chimidoro.
Kisame coughed into his hand somewhat nervously as sweat perspired on his forehead. "Hahem, anyway, and fans of the popular anime/manga Naruto agree that the likelyhood of Sasuke ending up with Sakura is low, and we want to protest Hanako-chan's incessant ramblings about this couple! We all believe that Naruto will get Sakura in the end!" he shouted quite loud.
Backstage, the entire cast of Naruto breathed a collective sigh. Hinata twiddled with her fingers sadly as Sakura fainted in horror at the sound of the last part. Naruto looked over toward his pink haired teammate for but a minute before patting Hinata on the back comfortingly.
Noticing that the poor girl was inanimate, Sasuke poked Sakura's side before frowning and folding his arms. "Hn. How troublesome," he muttered. This ever so familiar utterance drew Shikamaru's attention from across the room.
"Why would you do something troublesome like stealing my line?" he asked lazily, making Sasuke only shrug slightly; however, he offered no explanation. Shikamaru breathed a low sigh, finding it far too bothersome to pursue further answers. "This is troublesome..."
During this display, Ino folded her arms. "I don't think Shark Buddy knows what he's talking about," she muttered, "Sakura-chan and Sasuke-kun are just right for each other!"
This statement of Ino's seemed to betray her character and caused most of the others to facefault. Shikamaru looked over at his blonde haired teammate and frowned slightly at her rather odd behavior -- there was no reason for her to be chipper. After all, if Naruto were to end up with Sakura, then Ino would end up with Chouji, and Shikamaru himself would get stuck with Temari.
Shikamaru winced slightly, "... This really is a troublesome thing that Shark Buddy is doing..."
Kakashi sighed as he finally flipped his book closed, the headache that was forming all too fast too much of a hindrance for him to read anymore right now. Neji and Tenten looked at each other before Tenten bowed her head in defeat. After all, if Sakura were to end up with Naruto, then she would naturally end up with Lee... The poor girl shivered at the thought.
Neji frowned deeply, quickly realizing the terrifying thought that had crossed Tenten's mind. No, no no! He wasn't about to let that happen! The pearl eyed male cracked his knuckles as he and Sasuke began looking around for Kishimoto to find out what his deal was...
But, anyway, back to the Editorial...
Kisame disliked the heavy amount of negative attention the crowd was exhibiting, but still refused to be deturred. He had to stand his ground -- for Itachi! So, he took another deep breath to prepare himself.
"Also, we would like to address this continuing mention of this Fourth Wall thing... What exactly is it, and what is Hanako-chan plotting behind it?" he asked rather ominously. Hanako-chan popped up once again.
"Fourth Wall is a phrase used for acting -- when on stage, the actor or actress has only three walls in actuality but the fourth one is an imaginary wall that faces the audience. Basically, to sum it up, no matter what, the actor or actress cannot break that fourth wall and let the audience know that they can see them!" she explained before dropping back into the crowd.
Kisame raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, on a personal note, I also wonder what Hanako-chan is thinking and why that Hyuuga Neji boy always kills me. As an Akatsuki member, I don't take lightly to being taken lightly!" he exclaimed, narrowing his eyes, "Is there a reason why it must always be him?"
"Um, Neji-san kills Kisame a lot because... well, I would actually like to see Neji-san kill Kisame in Naruto. Hm, and I want Sasuke-san to kill Itachi, and Kakashi-san to kill Orochimaru, and Sakura-san to kill Kabuto. Mm hm, that sounds good," she reassured herself with a nod.
Kisame furrowed his eyebrows when Neji poked his head out from behind the curtains, prepared to annihilate Kisame right now if needed. Kisame recovered rather quickly. "And then, that bastard, too! Why the hell did he get to kill me so easily?" he asked, poking a finger at Toramaru. "Him, too. How could he kill Itachi-chan with barely any effort!" he demanded, this time poking his finger at Shugou, who scowled.
Hanako-chan frowned and started to stand again, but was stopped before she could say anything by Shugou. She blinked in confusion as he narrowed his amethyst eyes slightly and stood himself, throwing a rather icy glare at Kisame. "I once found your rant amusing, but now I find it troubling. Go away," said the shinobi quite coldly. Nearby, Toramaru drew Zanmato -- yep, this had went on about long enough.
"Eh, yeah, so please join us in this protest and stop the terrorism that is known as Itachi Must Die!!" Kisame called finally, and it was about that time that Uchiha Itachi walked onto the stage from out of nowhere and grabbed the shark correlated Akatsuki member's ear to drag him off.
"Forget it, Kisame, we have a mission!" he stated. Kisame began flailing his arms just before being drug off into basically nowhere.
"REMEMBER WHAT I HAVE SAID!"
The audience, the Naruto cast, and Bob & Bill all blinked.
Bob then waved. "We'll be leaving now, thanks for your time." And with that, he sulked off the stage with Bill following close behind...
Sasuke then walked out on stage and frowned slightly. "Hn. On with the Omake..."
----- But, First: Itachi Must Die -- The Intro Song! -----
Sasuke quickly used Shunshin no Jutsu to reappear backstage as a familiar silver haired Jounin stepped out from behind the rose colored curtains holding a particular book.
Kakashi slipped Icha Icha Tactics into his pocket as he grabbed the microphone. "Hahem, may I have your attention everyone," he spoke, drawing the curiousity of the complete Naruto cast backstage. Sasuke hid his face subconsciously as Kakashi continued.
"This song was written in dedication to our dear friend Uchiha Sasuke, and is a retelling of his life story made just for this Omake Series. The title is, well, Itachi Must Die!..."
Hatake Kakashi then stepped off the stage so that the three Sand siblings could step up, each holding a microphone in preparation to sing the Intro Song for the tenth Omake...
A weasel in the dark Slaughtering the family Some variation of these words So with the death of his kin Off he goes now, on a journey Joining up with the snake sannin It really is a sad truth now So there's only one thing left to do
That's just what he was
Trying to condemn the heart
of the brother he once loved
The friends that he once knew
And running off just to be
One of the Red Moon few
"Foolish little brother,
Always hate and loathe me
Live on without honor
Be miserable and lonely."
Was the phrase Itachi'd said
Something profound must have been heard
Because it stuck in Sasuke's head
Sasuke vowed to take revenge
On his brother, who had murdered
Their clan and their friends...
He lives his life, sad and lonely
Itachi's death was and is
His only reason to still live
Sasuke does it all for thus
He plans to see his brother crawling
At his feet upon the dirt
To think back to his home
The friends he made, he had betrayed
All to make this a good song
Only one good reason why
Before Sasuke's really screwed
Now, Itachi must die!
Sasuke fainted dead away as the lyrics came to an end and while Sakura tried to comfort him, Neji stuffed his hands in his pockets and walked out on stage.
After shooting a patented Hyuuga Neji Death Glare to the applauding audience, the pearl eyed genius smirked slightly at the long awaited silence of the room, before finally speaking...
"Now, without further interruptions, we will continue with this Omake."
Complete silence.
Neji smiled in satisfaction.
"Good."
---------- Omake 10: Itachi Must... Live? ----------
Itachi breathed a sigh as he stared out at the setting sun through his scarlet Sharingan eyes, his lips twisted down into the tiniest of frowns. He was quite deep in thought it seemed, and his mind was conjuring up a thousand thoughts a second to try and figure out what he was thinking about in the first place.
This led to deep, deep confusion.
Nearby, Shark Buddy(Kisame) was watching his companion with much confusion while roasting himself a marshmallow over their campfire. It was so quiet, not to say that Itachi ever really talked much, but it was obvious that something was bothering the traitorous Uchiha. Whatever was troubling his self-assured friend was beginning to weigh on Kisame's thoughts even more than Itachi's...
If that were possible -- and if not, then he was pretty damn close.
Regardless, it was time to act; Kisame stood from his seat on the ground and approached the other Akatsuki member. As soon as he realized Kisame's presence, Itachi glanced back at the shark-faced man and his frown deepened. This puzzled the blue guy even more than his behavior before.
"Kisame..." Itachi suddenly spoke, with a kind of curiousity that was unknown to the wielder of Samehada. Kisame blinked as he seated himself beside the darker haired man.
"What is it, Itachi-san?" Kisame asked, and Itachi looked almost hurt at the sound of 'san' rather than 'chan'. He wasn't certain why -- after all, Kisame had always called him Itachi-san... hadn't he? "What is troubling you?"
Itachi dipped his head a bit lower to hide his face. "Kisame, what... do you know about karma?" he asked suddenly. Kisame's eyes went wide as saucers.
"Eh, what?"
"Well, you know that it's my birthday tomorrow--"
"Yes, yes, I have a surprise planned for you." Kisame inserted with a proud smile. Itachi's expression just sank further as did the decibal of his voice.
"About that... it feels like I've just had a birthday -- perhaps it's just Deja vu, but it just... feels strange; like something is going to happen tomorrow. Something I have no power over."
Kisame was stunned; he'd never heard Itachi say he had no power over something before. Itachi, if nothing else, was kind of a control freak(which it still amazed Kisame that he continued to take orders from the Akatsuki Leader). Heck, the shark correlated Akatsuki member hardly got to play the leading role on their missions...
Itachi sighed lowly. "You're the only one I can talk to about this, Kisame -- so..."
"I see... well, in stories and stuff, karma is accumulated over time. The more good deeds you do, the more good karma you acheive -- the more bad deeds you do, the more bad karma you acheive. So, basically, if you're really, really mean than you will eventually be repayed in full for the crimes you've commited... Waitaminnut, is this really something for us, S-rank wanted criminals to be talking about?"
Itachi flinched as Kisame flicked an eyebrow. He had a bad feeling, just a bad, bad feeling...
-----
"So, Tsunade-shishou, have there been any new leads yet?" Sakura asked as she studied Tsunade's expression carefully; the older woman ruffled through some paperwork.
"Well, not on Uchiha Sasuke, but we do have a lead on Uchiha Itachi--"
"What is it?" Sakura interrupted, a fiery gleam back in her once depressed emerald eyes. Maybe, if Itachi were to be dealt with, Sasuke would return to Konoha of his own will! At that thought, Sakura's heart swelled with immense joy. So, based on that recent failure with Woody and The Faggot Warrior(Yamato and Sai respectively) when they faced Sasuke at Oreo's(Orochimaru's) hide-out, they couldn't take Sasuke back with mere force alone.
Then, maybe, if they could help Sasuke finish his goal before Orochimaru decided to become one with him(no pun intended), it was possible that Sasuke would agree when asked to return to Konoha with them. That one shred of hope was enough for our pink haired medical kunoichi to hang on to...
Boobs(Tsunade) raised her head at the enthusiasm in Sakura's tone. "Well, if that's the way you feel... take this. It's the details of a mission I was originally intending to assign to higher ranking shinobi -- if you want it, it's yours." Tsunade stated, pitching a scroll to her student. Catching it, Sakura looked at Tsunade determinedly as she put it away.
"You are to investigate that lead; there's a rumor that Itachi will be there tomorrow, so I want you and any two other ninja to track it down and see if there's any truth to it." Tsunade said with a quick smile and a wave to dismiss the younger female. Sakura bowed her head quickly and hurried out the door to find her a couple of teammates...
-----
Sasuke closed his obsidian eyes as he knelt down on top of a tree branch. He was on his way to investigate rumors of Itachi sightings just outside the Hinokuni's border, and Orochimaru had kindly permitted him to go(which basically meant that Sasuke had simply said he was going and left).
Tomorrow was his brother's birthday, he wouldn't soon forget. What a perfect time to end it -- he would exact his revenge tomorrow. He subconsciously began to move slightly quicker at that thought; it wasn't much farther.
Now, he could only hope that those rumors proved true.
-----
It was 2 AM in the morning when Sakura arrived at her destination -- a small town that had previously been unknown just outside of the Hinokuni's border. Along beside her travelled her chosen team members: Neji and Shikamaru.
One may have asked her why she didn't bring Naruto or Kakashi -- well, the answer was really simple. Kakashi was still recuperating, and Naruto was training with Pervy(Jiraiya). Being the kind hearted kunoichi she was, Sakura hadn't wanted to intervene with Kakashi's recovery nor did she want to interrupt Naruto's training.
And so, there they were.
Frowning slightly, Sakura began casting glances around herself at the people and buildings in this village. There was no sign of Itachi, but that didn't cause her to lose hope. After all, he wouldn't just be out in the open -- right?
As she pushed forward, Neji and Shikamaru followed behind her with the occasional utterance of just how troublesome this mission was coming from Shikamaru. Neji, on the other hand, was remarkably patient and just waiting to meet this legendary Uchiha that the Uchiha boy he'd wanted to fight desired so desperately to kill.
Also, he wanted to determine whether or not Sasuke's goal was fathomable -- because, from what he'd heard about how strong Itachi was, it wasn't.
However, it was also a fact that no one was immune to fatigue, and all three were indeed growing quite tired from the long journey they had made without stopping to rest. So, it was Shikamaru to speak up.
"Oi, shouldn't we stop for the night and look tomorrow?" the troubled Chuunin asked, drawing Sakura's inquiring gaze back towards him. She seemed reluctant at first, but upon realizing just how tired she was getting to be, she relented.
"All right, we'll find a hotel for tonight and search for Itachi first thing in the morning." So it was decided -- luckily, the hotel was easy to find...
And it was the only one in town.
-----
"Are you sure about this?" Itachi asked, drawing Kisame's attention. Kisame was wearing a rather positive smile as they stepped into town.
"Of course; we're going to relax here tomorrow. I want you to just take it easy and relieve a little of that stress that's been building up, okay? Consider it my birthday present to you!" Kisame stated. Itachi was still less than enthralled about this whole thing.
A day of rest and relaxation? Relieve stress? Who did Kisame think he was? Itachi restrained a depressed sigh; seriously, something still didn't feel right -- something didn't feel right at all...
Especially as Kisame pointed to the only hotel in the village.
-----
Sasuke smirked faintly as he stopped in the village, casting a quick glance in each direction. Itachi was here, he could just feel it. Clenching his hands into tight fists, Sasuke narrowed his eyes. The day had finally arrived, revenge would be his.
For today was June 09th -- Itachi's birthday.
-----
The next morning, Itachi had just left the hotel when Kisame woke up, realizing he'd slept in. After searching around for his beloved companion for a few minutes, he grabbed his stuff and rushed out the door and began running blindly down the hall...
... just to crash into someone on his way.
Kisame fell back onto his backside just as the other person did, causing him to groan slightly at the bruise he knew was forming on his blue rump.
Glancing up, he caught sight of the one he'd hit... and he froze instantly.
Hyuuga Neji narrowed his white eyes in irritation as he glared at Kisame angrily. Kisame subconsciously flinched under his pressure; for some reason, though he didn't really know this boy at all, the sight of him caused Kisame to feel much dread indeed...
So, he quickly launched himself back into a standing position and took off in a frantic run to find his safety -- Itachi.
-----
And that's who he found... or so he thought. At first glance, from far away, he could have sworn it was his teammate -- however, when he approached close and shouted that familiar name, the target turned to him with a very cold look.
"Itachi-san!" Kisame had called but a moment ago.
"You're Itachi's sidekick." Sasuke recognized as he turned to the blue guy. Kisame raised his hands defensively as Sasuke began to step closer. "That means Itachi is closeby... Tell me, Shark Buddy, where is he?" he asked, and Kisame flinched.
Dammit, what is wrong with my luck today? Kisame cursed under his breath, before glancing to each side and finally taking off in a dash to locate Itachi. He had to warn Itachi and they had to get out of there -- it was too soon for a showdown between the brothers, even Kisame knew that!
So off he ran.
Sasuke could only smirk slightly as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and began to slowly walk in the direction Kisame had darted...
-----
Meanwhile, at the hotsprings behind the hotel...
Itachi sighed as he dusted off his adorned swim shorts and lowered himself into the water; he had only recently learned how to swim. In fact, it had been very sudden, but for some reason one day he had just abruptly turned to Kisame and demanded that Kisame teach him to swim.
Of course, before, he had thought he had known how.
But, whatever.
As Itachi was relaxing, a rather lazy looking male sat down on the rock beside him and removed his shoes; he was obviously just preparing to take a swim. Itachi narrowed his Sharingan eyes slightly.
Shikamaru looked over at Itachi and squinted to make sure before rolling his eyes. No, it wasn't; there for a minute, he'd thought Sasuke had just been in the hotsprings beside him. However, he quickly realized it wasn't him -- he did resemble Sasuke an awful lot though...
It was then that it hit the lazy Chuunin.
They were here searching for Sasuke's brother... who was supposed to look a lot like Sasuke. Oh dear. Shikamaru frowned and sweatdropped. How very troublesome...
Shikamaru very, very quietly lifted himself from the rock and turned to walk casually back inside the hotel to find Sakura. After all, they had come to locate Itachi -- and he had found the target. But first, he had to locate a bathroom(so off to the information desk he went)...
-----
The day had progressed on quietly; while Sakura, Neji, and Shikamaru came up with plan after plan to kill Itachi from a distance, Kisame(who was still searching for Itachi) just kept on showing up at just the right time and foiling their plans without even knowing it. Maybe it was subconsciously, but it didn't matter. While all this was going on, Sasuke took his time in searching around the village for clues about his brother...
It was almost three hours later when Kisame found Itachi... unfortunately, so did Sasuke.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes from his seat on top of a building; below him, Itachi was getting lunch with Kisame. It was the perfect opportunity -- but how to attack? Sasuke had thought all along that he wasn't a match for Itachi, so how was he to combat the elder Uchiha?
Furrowing his eyebrows in thought, Sasuke began to run over the possibilities in his head. He could try using Chidori -- already tried it. He could shove him off a cliff -- no cliffs around. He could try throwing dirt in his eyes -- he'd be expecting it. He could blow him up -- wouldn't work. He could try to drown him -- no way. He could try to make him choke to death on that jelly doughnut he was eating(or more creatively, a pretzel) -- impossible. He could crack him over the head with an oversized mallet -- he doubted it. He could hire some ninja to come and assassinate him -- not vengeful enough. He could jump down and challenge him to a duel himself -- not likely...
"Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke's eyes widened at the sound of a familiar voice behind him and he whirled his head around in time to see Sakura. His eyes widened as much as hers already were, especially when he glanced down and noticed the anvil that she was dragging behind her. A lightbulb went off in Sasuke's head.
That was it! An anvil! Not even Itachi could survive that!
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura mumbled again as she kneeled down beside him, "We... came here to kill Itachi -- are you...?"
Sasuke sighed lowly. "Yeah."
Sakura pulled her anvil closer. "Can I help?"
Sasuke blinked reluctantly. "Huh?"
"Can I help you kill Itachi? I did promise I would help you with your revenge..." she murmured, poking her index fingers together. Sasuke seemed to think about it for a minute.
"Can I borrow the anvil?" he asked.
Sakura smiled happily. "You got it!"
It was on.
-----
After carefully tying a neat red ribbon around the anvil, Sasuke attached a small explosive tag to it and smirked maliciously as he signed it like a normal one(with the simple words "Love Sasuke"). The greatest birthday present, this was it! Just what he'd been trying to think of... Sakura waited patiently as Sasuke pushed the anvil onto the ledge of the building and prepared to shove it off onto his brother's head at just the right moment...
When Neji walked up from behind and said, "Hey, Uchiha, is that you?" he asked, alerting both Sasuke and Sakura and causing Sasuke to push the anvil off accidentally. He stretched his arms out after it, but it was already too late.
As the anvil fell, Kisame jumped between it and Itachi by about an inch, screaming out toward the impending object, "NO, ITACHI-CHAN MUST LIIIVVVEEE!"
Splat.
And that was the last thing Kisame heard as the two ton object somehow collided with both he and his companion, knocking them both to the ground and killing them instantly...
... and then the tag exploded, blowing up the food stand.
Sasuke averted his eyes as Neji blinked, confused as to what he had caused. Sakura turned to the dark brown haired Hyuuga to explain the situation, but Neji realized the minute he looked down and seen Kisame sprawled on top of Itachi with an anvil planted on his back.
He shrugged. "Can we... go home now?" he asked. Sasuke and Sakura exchanged a confused look and blinked as Shikamaru walked by below with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He paused briefly and looked at the pile of rubble that once was a food stand before breathing a depressed sigh -- when he'd asked for a bathroom, he'd found out that they were all out of order except for the one behind the food stand(and he had been seeking one of those glorious objects all day). Unfortunately, there it lay in the rubble with the random foods...
"How troublesome."
-----
As Sakura, Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru walked off back towards Konoha, Sasuke glanced back over his shoulder one last time, a serious frown on his face. It was over, Itachi had been killed and the Uchiha clan had been avenged. All thanks to... Neji, who had caused him to drop the anvil off at just the right time to take out Itachi and his shark faced sidekick...
And, that night, as they disappeared into the main gate of Konoha village to find out Sasuke's fate from Tsunade, Sasuke smiled...
"Happy birthday, Onii-san."
-----
Meanwhile, back at Orochimaru's new hideout...
Orochimaru gripped his head angrily as Specs(Kabuto) adjusted his glasses. The dark haired member of the legendary Sannin finally gave up and screamed into the night...
"SASUKE-KUN, WHERE ARE YOU?"
---------- Owari: The End ----------
Note: I elected to make this one a lot longer than the others since it is the tenth Omake; also, there will be an Editorial every ten Omakes from now until I cancel production of this series(which could be weeks, or even years). The Intro Song, Itachi Must Die!, was written by me(I hope you guys liked it!). And one more thing: if you liked one or more of the couples mentioned in the Editorial and saw my comments as 'insulting', please pay no attention -- it's just for humor. Thanks to all my readers(Yes, that includes the flamers !)!
