Ch. 10
Itachi had made it back to the Leaf Village and swiftly landed on one of the training grounds before his wings disappeared from his back. He looked back and didn't see Kushina and knew that he must have flewn too fast for her to catch up, but knew that she eventually arrive and when she did he would get an ear full.
Itachi didn't care though, for all he had in his mind currently was seeing the first Uchiha born since the massacre, he wanted to meet his neice. He ran and jumped from rooftop to rooftop making his way towards where he could sense Sakura's chakra signature and found her at a house close to where he and the others lived by the lake.
He now stood in front of the door his hand reaching towards it to knock on it, but the door swung open revealing a shocked burnette. Itachi's eyes met Hana's which seemed to show some sign of relief, but he didn't think much on it.
"Itachi, you're okay." Hana said
"I am." Itachi said
Itachi's eyes left Hana's as he heard the sound of a small child giggling. His eyes moved towards the direction of giggles as Hana noticed and lead him inside and towards the living room where Sakura and Sarada are at.
Itachi stopped as his eyes landed on the small little girl who was walking towards her mom. Sakura looked to the side as she saw Itachi stading in the living room with Hana next to him.
"Itachi, you're finally back." Sakura said as she picked up Sarada and walked over to Itachi "This is Sarada, your neice. Sarada this is your Uncle Itachi."
Sarada's eyes locked onto Itachi's as she slightly tilted her head to the side.
"Un...cle? Uncle?" Sarada said reaching her little hand out to grab Itachi
Itachi's eyes softened and he smiled as he grabbed Sarada from Sakura and hugged his neice.
"Yes, i'm your Uncle." Itachi said smiling at her as he then looked at Sakura "where is my little brother?"
"He's on a mission, we don't know when he'll be back." Sakura said
"I see."
For the next Twenty minutes or so, Itachi spent his time with Sarada and playing with her before he felt the too familiar energy signature coming from a pissed off red head. He gave sarada a quick kiss on the cheek which made her giggle and gave Sakura a hug as he congratulated her. He stared at Hana for a second as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her which caught her by surprise but returned it with a small blush on her face.
"Thank you." Itachi whispered in her ear "For worrying."
Hana's blush darkened as she knew Kushina must have told him about her coming to check if he had returned since his disappearance. Itachi slowly let go as the door opened and Kushina walked in seeing that the two were hugging, that she momentarily forgot she was angry and her face lit up with excitement. Until Kisame and Neji walked in and began asking Itachi questions.
"What happened?" Kisame asked
"Why were you gone so long?" Neji asked
"I will explain back at the base." Itachi said
The others nodded knowing he did not want to say things in front of the others, especially not in front of his little neice.
-One Week Later-
"...and that's everything that's been going on." Kushina said
Kushina had been expaining the situation concerning Lust and those trying to over throw her as they walked through the village streets.
"I see." Itachi said keeping his gaze forward "You should go see boruto, i'm sure he wants to see his grandma."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Kushina questioned raising a brow "Are you going to go see Hana?" Kushina smirked
It was now Itachi's turn to look at her with a rosen brow. "Does she need something from me?" He asked.
Kushina sighed and shook her head. "I swear you Uchiha men are so dense, you must get it from your father, you know." Kushina said as she walked away and waved.
Itachi watched her leave as he continued through the streets, feeling eyes on him from those around him. He began thinking and somehow was so into his thoughts that he didn't know how he ended up at the gates of the Inuzuka Clan compound. Itachi lightly sighed wondering how he had gotten here and why as he heard someone approach him.
"If you're looking for Nee-chan, she went out with some guy about an hour ago and I don't knnow when she'll be back."
Itachi looked to his side and saw Hana's younger brother, Kiba.
"I was actually just taking a stroll around the village." Itachi said
Itachi turned to leave when an Anbu Black Ops member landed in front of him.
"Itachi-san, the Hokage has asked for your presence immediatley." The Anbu member said and before Itachi could object he spoke again "He says it's something from your line of work."
Itachi narrowed his eyes and nodded as he flash stepped so swiftly it left both Kiba and the Anbu stunned at his speed.
-Scene Change-
Itachi and Kakashi were both at the hospital, looking at the body of a dead Kunoichi around the age of Twenty Three. Sakura had given the autopsy report and had found no foreign chakra signature that could indicate her death was from the use of a jutsu, but what Sakura did find was some type of black liquid in her mouth and lungs.
She had thought it was poison, but there was no poison that could cause so much damage to the inside of the body as this. It seemed that the Kunoichi's body had been burned and melted from the inside, leaving only the outer shell of the human body unscathed.
Itachi took a closer look at the black liquid, as he scooped some of it with his fingers, his Sharingan coming to life as his Fallen Angel powers slightly changed his sharingan. Itachi narrowed his eyes seeing an extra element not easily seen to the normal eye.
"Demonic Sulphur." Itachi said as he wiped his fingers with a cloth before burning it with Amaterasu "We need to burn the body."
"Burn the body? Why-" Sakura started
"That was miasma from a demon, once a human injest a demons miasma, their soul will stay confined to this world without truly passing on unless the body is burned." Itachi said cutting his sister in law off "Where was the body discovered?"
"This isn't the first one." Kakashi said as Iachi turned to face him "There have been others that have been reported at towns and small vilages around the nations."
"Why didn't you tell the others about this?" Itachi questioned
"We thought it was human made at first, a new jutsu of some sort." Sakura spoke up as she brought out a map "Here , here, at these here as well." Sakura plotted down pins where the other bodies had been found.
"They are all red light districts and shady spots." Itachi said seeing where the exact points were "Kisame and I would pass by these places during our time in the Akatsuki to speak with clients and to take down our targets as well." Itachi scanned the map once more as he pointed at one spot that hadn't been plotted down yet "Seeing the patterns, the most obvious place the demon will be next is here." Itachi then pointed to a different aread near it "But it will surely be here."
"Why do say that?" Kakashi asked
"The other area is popular but smaller so it would be easier being spotted, but this area is less popular but larger with many people coming and going. It would be easier for it to move around unnoticed." Itachi answered as he turned to leave "I will settle this, do not send any shinobi to a confrontation with supernatural beings." He said as he left the autopsy room.
