Hi! I've started writing this on Saturday night so that's a bit better then starting tomorrow! This is chapter ten! Yay! This is a great milestone for any story; it means the story has a legitimate plot and though it might be developing slowly, it is going to be a long and great adventure! I thank you for reading and experiencing this adventure alongside me and I hope you'll let me know what you think! Enjoy!
Finally Itachi decided to look to Frederick.
"We have much to discuss. Come."*
Itachi stood up from the chair he had previously been sitting in and motioned for Frederick to follow him. Frederick stood quickly and walked briskly to stand near Itachi as they walked through the dark hallway.
Finally as they continued to walk; Frederick saw light in the direction they had been walking. In a way, kind of like the light one finds at the end of the tunnel, except in this case the physical version.
The base had torches burning so the hallways weren't completely dark; however nothing did more justice for the eye than being able to see the light of day.
Finally Itachi and Frederick reached the outside world once again.
Frederick didn't know their location, but it was beautiful. The cave they had walked out of almost seemed like it didn't fit in with the beauty of the trees and the lush, fullness of the green grass and shrubs. The sun was shining brightly, not a cloud in sight. There was nothing like this in New York City. Frederick couldn't recall exactly when he had seen land as beautiful as this before, but it was likely when he had lived in the country side as a child.
Frederick had stopped walking; taking in all the setting around him, Itachi was prompted to look at him.
Frederick then snapped himself out of his daze and looked at Itachi. Itachi merely kept walking, in a similar fashion to the way he had in the show. He didn't know how he walked in the manga because written and drawn works don't move, but he still felt the show had done Itachi some justice at the very least.
They walked quietly into the forest. Frederick hadn't expected Itachi to talk to him since quite often he was portrayed as someone who watched and listened mostly, but he didn't expect him to be this quiet! Frederick could barely hear his footsteps or even his breath at all!
After a long walk in silence; Frederick found himself staring out onto a decently sized lake. In a way it reminded him of when in the show Sasuke would practice his fire ball justu when he was in the academy. Sure enough Itachi walked up next to the lake, performed quick hand signs and fired a trio of fire balls into the lake, making the water erupt.
When Itachi turned around Frederick saw the crimson of his eyes. It was the Uchiha's prime gift; the Sharingan. Itachi then spoke to Frederick.
"I have been given the task of training you in ninjustu, chakra control and genjustu tolerance. My partner Kisame will be the one who expands your taijustu."
Frederick started at Itachi blankly. Picking up some justu wouldn't hurt his chances of surviving in this world…it was the Kisame part that frightened him; more on that later.
"You have a huge supply of chakra, that makes me believe that you have terrific potential to be an asset to this organization or anywhere else you go."
Itachi then made a hand sign, the tiger sign; Frederick was accustomed to this hand sign as it was the major sign many leaf ninja used.
"You have the ability to use Fire justu; therefore you should get familiar with his hand sign."
Frederick nodded; he and Sophie used to spend hours when they were twelve just practicing hand signs and seeing who could do them faster.
"Clap your hands together and hold them in that position. Doing so you will be able to focus your chakra and build it up more effectively. If you ever find yourself trapped inside a genjustu; sometimes a large distraction like a clap is all you need to wake yourself up. Try it now for example."
Suddenly Frederick saw Sophie to his left, smiling at him. He couldn't believe it, she looked soo…alive.
Frederick clapped his hands and suddenly she was gone. He didn't know what was worse; the fact that he had almost fallen for such a genjustu or the fact that Itachi had been able to summon Sophie like that. Even if it was an illusion he shouldn't be able to know what she looks like…ugh it was so frustrating to Frederick knowing that Itachi could so easily manipulate him with those eyes of his. He hated feeling weak.
Frederick then clapped his hands together. He tried to feel his chakra and make it swarm around him; he felt a tight sensation in his gut trying to command the force that existed in him. At first he felt nothing.
"Think of strong memories that can get your blood boiling," Itachi offered obviously sensing his struggle.
"Sophie would just laugh at me in her soft voice and say try again while she would have in mastered in her first attempt!" Frederick thought to himself.
Frederick then clapped his hands again and really focused, he thought of Naruto when he would summon the kyuubi's chakra; he thought of his parents being dragged away from him, shouting how he could do anything he put his heart to, but most of all the thought of the man that had kicked around Frederick after shooting Sophie and how he would say, "You're a weakling kid! All you do is mourn and cry and you'll never have the strength to protect anyone! Just look at what you let happen to HER!"
"HaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Then was when Frederick lost it, his eyes watered as suddenly he felt his chakra swarming around him. He opened his eyes only to see Itachi looking at him in pure surprise, his sharingan watching him; blue chakra was viciously whirling around Frederick's body as his rage made the very ground he stood upon shake. He could feel wind bursting at him from behind; it was so longer sunny outside as clouds appeared and began letting loose their tears. Some clouds screamed as lightning shot out and struck the trees, one of which was nearby Frederick. The water of the lake was vibrating furiously as waves of it began crashing alongside the shore. A fire had started from the lightning strike and was expanding rapidly around Frederick.
Frederick just stood his ground, summoning more and more of his chakra around him, almost like a protective shield from the calamities of nature.
"Frederick! Calm your breathing, don't summon so much chakra or you will destroy this whole area!"
Frederick had heard Itachi's words but he didn't want to stop. He wanted to destroy the man that had plagued his mind for all this time.
Finally Frederick took a breath as he remembered this man was no were near and that he should save all this for him…that was if he ever made it back to the material world. The earth tremors stopped and the wind died down. The fire around Frederick went out and the clouds disappeared; the sun was completely visible again. Frederick's chakra aura dispersed and suddenly Frederick felt as if he had just run a mile…or two…or forty. The beauty of the landscape around Frederick was now burnt and sad; like a fire passed through the area.
Itachi walked over to Frederick.
"I have seen many people summon their chakra in the past but never before have I seen anything like that at any point of my life. Your chakra directly had an effect on the weather and all the major elements that justu are capable of. It seems that you are capable of performing any type of justu, regardless of affinity. Not only do you have an incredible supply of chakra, but you can use it any way you want to."
Frederick was out of breath but he still managed to pull off a smile.*
I feel this is a good place to stop for now because I want to really add on in tomorrow's chapter! I hope you enjoyed reader! Review if you have any comments and if you don't then I guess things are just too shocking? :0
