by silentshadow01

The world has no use for Sasuke, he is now gone from the world of Ninjas as he transcends to the next life, but. What if the next life was truly a new life for him to live in and to be with a familiar face that will be by his side no matter what. Welcome to the world of Hunters, watch as the Uchiha's leave a mark on this world for a better *Chapters 1-10 currently being edited*

10. Chapter 10

I'm not going to rant about anything. I don't feel up to it not after what I heard.

If you haven't heard yet Monty Oum passed away just recently. Just writing that sentence is making me break into tears that such a great man died so young. Rest in Peace Monty, know that you inspired so many people and will continue inspiring others even if you're not here anymore.

Your show was the reason why I started making Fanfics because I just loved your work so much that I had to pick up a pencil and write. Since then I still love making stories, using your characters that you brought to life with your ingenuity of wanting to make this amazing show. RWBY won't be the same without you, especially now the voice of Lie Ren is gone for awhile. They may find a replacement but to me, you'll always be that silent huntsmen that we love deeply

Thank you Monty for all the great things you gave us and goodbye, we'll miss you but we'll always remember you deeply from the bottom of our hearts

(About two months since Itachi went to Kizuro)

"Repeat that, you want me to do what again?" Sasuke asked in a deadpan tone

"I want you to take out both Shisui's and my eyes. Then I want you to put them in the other person's eyes but make sure you have them in the containers first so they won't get dirty" Itachi explained while putting his hands on the two jars of thick liquid jelly like substance

". . . Why?" Sasuke asked while putting emphasis on the lone word

"Because unlike you little brother it seems we weren't lucky that our eyes can't be damaged in their state" Itachi stated seriously as Sasuke gave him a look asking for clarification "While you were lucky to be born with your Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, we never had the efficient upgrade our eyes go through during the implantation progress so we wouldn't go blind after the many uses of the Mangekyo" Itachi explained as Sasuke nodded in agreement

"So that's why we're asking you to help us with this, seeing as you are the only person capable in handling our eyes with care" Shisui explained calmly. He was lucky he found Amber on a good day to ask her to cover for him to do this. . . Good as in she only yelled for five minutes for the irresponsibility of his actions instead of the usual ten when he explained it had something to do with his eyes. After that she gave him full permission and distinct instructions to do it now as she was worried for his health when he explained that he might go blind in the future if he doesn't do this

Sasuke let out a sigh "I don't really have a choice in this don't I" Sasuke asked dryly

"Not unless you're okay with the guilt that you didn't do anything to stop your dear family members from going blind" Shisui said nonchalantly as Sasuke sent him a glare which the older Uchiha promptly ignored

Sasuke let out a huff as he let his chakra flow through his fingers "Let's get this over with then" Sasuke said as he faced Shisui.

Sasuke began to carefully removing Shisui's eyes with Itachi's guidance to show him what to do so he could do the same with him. After dropping Shisui's eyes in the container of jelly he began carefully removing Itachi's eyes. He successfully removed his eyes as he dropped them in the container before picking the container up and going back over to Shisui

Sasuke then did the opposite of what he was told to do and put Itachi's eyes in Shisui's sockets with Medical Ninjutsu. After wrapping a bandage around Shisui's eyes he grabbed the container with Shisui's eyes as he went over to Itachi and did the same with him.

"I swear to god I will never do this again" Sasuke muttered as the entire time he was taking out and putting eyes back in a socket he felt nauseous in just holding them in hands

"Don't worry Sasuke, next time if something like this happens I'll do it" Itachi said as Sasuke wrapped bandages over his eyes like Shisui

"So tell me cousin, what did you tell your wife so she won't be horrified at what we're doing" Shisui asked of his cousin

". . . ."

"Itachi?" Shisui called out after a moment of silence

"You forgot didn't you" Sasuke said bluntly as that moment the door opened to reveal the person they were just talking while she was holding in her arms her daughter

"What's going on?" Glynda asked as Sasuke took one look at her before taking a few steps away from his brother revealing his bandaged face "Itachi what happened" Glynda said incredibly worried as she walked towards them. Sasuke could already tell what is about to happen as he went up to Glynda and held his arms out for Tsuki. Glynda was taken back by the unexpected action before she calmly handed over her three month old daughter to Sasuke.

"Oh nothing, just had a little accident, nothing to worry about" Itachi lied with a strained smile as he didn't need to see to see his wife narrowing her eyes at him.

"Itachi" Glynda said slowly

"Yes?" Itachi said warily

"If and I mean if it was an accident, why is there blood pouring down your clothes" Glynda pointed out dryly

"Well that was because-"

"And tell me, why is there a container of liquid jelly that is used for perserving organs like eyes doing in the room" Glynda hissed out as Itachi's smile faltered as he moved back into the couch to try and get away from his wife's rage

"W-Well you see. . . A little help you guys" Itachi called out as Glynda looked over to see Sasuke at the kitchen with Tsuki and some other person she never met

"Sorry but you brought this upon yourself brother and you need to face the consequences" The Sasuke stated dryly as he watched Tsuki mess with her uncle

"I swear when this happens to you in the future I will laugh" Itachi said through gritted teeth "You too Shisui" Itachi said glaring at his cousin

"I have enough problems back home with women. I don't need another one cuz" Shisui said uncaringly

"And who is that exactly" Glynda said gesturing to Shisui before remembering her husband can't see

"I'm guessing you're gesturing to Shisui, well to be blunt he's my cousin. Also if you heard the rumors about the leader of the new kingdom as it has been strictly confidential at the moment before the Council decides to let it out into the public. . Well, there he is" Itachi said jerking his thumb to the kitchen as Glynda's eyes widened in shock as that information never came to public yet

"Your cousin is the leader of the kingdom of Kizuro" Glynda said softly in shock

"Yo" Shisui said nonchalantly while waving his hand in her direction as he played with Tsuki who was on his lap

Glynda's brow twitched at his nonchalance before noticing the bandages around his eyes as well

"Why does he have bandages as well" Glynda asked sternly as Itachi 'stared' at her for a moment before letting out a tired sigh

"Alright, I'll explain to you what's going on" Itachi said tiredly while running his hand through his hair. Glynda nodded before taking a seat on the chair directly across Itachi as she waited for him to begin his explanation ". . . Do you remember the conversation we had in the hospital when Tsuki was born" Itachi asked softly

"Yes, why?" Glynda asked calmly while holding back the urge to just scream at him for not trusting her enough about doing stuff like this behind her back.

Itachi didn't need to see to know what Glynda was feeling and he felt ashamed for making her feel that way "It's our eyes, they're special as I told you" Itachi said pointing at his bandaged "But they're fragile when using them too much as it causes strain on them as the owner of those eyes may go blind from that strain" Itachi said as Glynda a look of worry on her face at that moment "Don't worry I'm fine, nothing is wrong with my eyes. I'm only preventing that from happening" Itachi said quickly when he sensed her worry

"How exactly are you preventing that from happening" Glynda asked as she already guessed the answer

Itachi let out another tired sigh "We need a transplant from another pair eyes like ours to make sure it never happens. Our eyes will strengthen to be even better then it was before as well as never being damaged" Itachi said trying to bring the mood up, it didn't.

"And you didn't think of telling me about this, your own wife" Glynda said harshly as Itachi flinched when she said that

"It's just that. ." Itachi said not really sure how to word it out

"It's not what, Itachi Uchiha" Glynda demanded with her arms crossed. The tension in the room grew as Tsuki began to cry as Shisui was trying to calm her down while Sasuke stared at the two married couple with a wary gaze

". . It's because I'm scared of what you might do because of what you know" Itachi said reluctantly as he held his head down as Glynda looked at him in shock "I love you I truly do but when I told you about chakra and when I showed you my eyes you just looked so shocked and scared it made me worry. Did you just see me as your husband or did you see me as something. . else" Itachi asked seriously

"Itachi" Glynda said softly as she tried to reach out to him

"Glynda please answer" Itachi asked forcefully on his part

". . I was scared at first that my husband was hiding something like this from me for so long. I then calmed down as I had to have hope he would tell me when he felt the courage too, you never did" Glynda said as tears threatened to pour from her eyes as the one person she put all her faith in didn't trust her enough to tell her about something like this that he had to go behind her back to do it.

"Glynda" Itachi said softly as the atmosphere turned somber

". . . What about Tsuki" Glynda asked breathlessly after awhile while wiping away the tears threatening to fall her eyes

"What?" Itachi asked as he wasn't sure what she meant

"Will Tsuki have to do this" Glynda said looking at the bloody cloths and the containers with jelly

"No, she won't. There is a certain requirement for your eyes to have to undergo a procedure like this" Itachi said tiredly as this conversation was taking too much out of him

"Like what" Glynda muttered tiredly herself as this conversation was making want to lie down and try to forget everything and think everything is okay.

"For one we don't possibly know if she has the Sharingan, we have to wait until she's older and even if she did she wouldn't have to worry like us" Itachi said calmly

"Why is that" Glynda asked with a raised

"The second requirement for us to have the surgery is for our eyes to reach the next form it has to offer but to do that. . You must kill or witness the death of the person you hold dearest to you, like a friend or a lover" Itachi said solemenly as Glynda's eyes slowly widened in shock at what he implied "It's not something any of us wish to explain, I hope you understand" Itachi said sincerely as Glynda nodded

"Though technically for me, mine came when I was put into a position where I was going to die and I didn't want that to happen" Shisui pointed out while he bounced Tsuki on his knee

"Yes well, aside from Shisui that's is how we unlock the next stage for our eyes and during that stage it causes wear to the user which is why we need this operation" Itachi stated as Glynda nodded

"I don't like it. . I don't like how you keep things from me but I love you enough to understand you want to keep some things to yourself but please promise me that you'll tell me when you do something like this. I don't want to feel like you don't care at all about how I feel about this" Glynda said in a dejected tone

Itachi pushed himself off the couch and slowly walked his way to Glynda as he reached out and grabbed the arm of the chair she was sitting at to show where she was. Itachi knelt down in front of Glynda and placed his hand on hers as she reached out to touch his face

"Alright, I promise to tell you about these things from now on" Itachi said in a soft voice as Glynda knelt down and hugged him "I'm sorry for not telling you" Itachi muttered against her shoulder

"It's alright, I forgive you" Glynda said while kissing his forehead as the two rest their heads against each others.

The two held each other for awhile before letting go "Is there anything else you want to know" Itachi sincerely

"I want to know everything about you Itachi, no more hiding it. Please" Glynda said in a sincere and soft tone

". . . . . . . . Let me tell you a story" Itachi said softly while pulling away as Glynda looked at him curiously. Itachi turned his head to his family "Is it alright if I tell her" Itachi asked calmly

"By all means Itachi, tell her. She is your wife after all, she deserves to know" Shisui said sincerely

"Do whatever you think is best brother. Know we'll have your back in whatever happens" Sasuke said calmly as Itachi gave them a smile before turning back to his wife

Itachi took in a deep breath and slowly let it out ". . . . . . . Let me tell you a tale about a Village called Konohagakure and a certain clan that resides within it" Itachi said as he spent the next couple of hours, taking breaks whenever Tsuki started crying as they helped calm her down or give her something to eat, as he explained about his real life.

From his birth under the head of the Uchiha clan, to him joining the Anbu, then his interaction with ROOT when they attacked Shisui where he explains that after the encounter Shisui took his life causing his Mangekyo Sharingan to activate. Then he talked about the massacre he had to commit so his clan won't commit a coup as he didn't kill his brother but directed him down the path of an avenger to take revenge against him so he could restore the honor of their clan and so he could atone for what he did. He then explained about how he joined the Akatsuki, Glynda then hit him upside the head saying she always suspected that he was the one who created that organization in this world without thinking of the consequences. Itachi continued as he explained what he done during the years until the final confrontation with his brother where he acted as if he was giving it his all while not truly trying to kill his brother so that way he wasn't suspicious about why he went easy. He then explained how he came back to life just for a short while and talked about taking down Kabuto together with Sasuke where he gave his last words to him that he'll always be proud of him.

"After I watched as my world go dark once more and was ready to accept the cool darkness of death I felt something pull me through. When I opened my eyes I found myself in my bedroom and realized I was reborn. From there, well, here we are" Itachi said gesturing to everything around him. Glynda had her hands on her face as she took in a deep breath "Are you alright" Itachi asked sincerely

"Yeah" Glynda said breathlessly "I just need some time to try and get everything in order after everything I heard" Glynda said softly, not taking her hands off her face

"I know it's a lot to take in-"

"A lot, is not the choice of words I would use to define what you told me" Glynda said with a huff as she took her hands off her face to show her eyes were cloudy and tired from the strain of learning all this knowledge about her husband and who he truly is.

"I'm sorry if you don't believe-"

"No, I do believe in story" Glynda said cutting her husband off once more as he gave her an incredulous look "I could tell that you didn't lie or make up anything during the entire story" Glynda said softly as she was finally calming down enough to think rational thoughts about this

"Glynda whatever you think of me because of this please remember that I love you dearly" Itachi said sincerely as Glynda stood up and walked over to her husband

"I know, and I love you too. I just have to get over the fact that half of my step-family has been reincarnated from a different world while retaining their powers of mass destruction and is able to as switch chakra and aura like a switch so you could be able to hide in plain sight" Glynda said bluntly as Itachi had to let out a small chuckle from that

"Well when you say it like that I would be nervous as well" Itachi said with a forced laugh as Glynda had a small smile on her face

"Even though you told me all this, I'm glad you trusted me enough to tell me the truth and not lie" Glynda said as she leaned down and hugged him as he returned the hug

"I love you too much to lose you over something like this" Itachi said sincerely as Glynda pulled back to look at Itachi

"I love you too" Glynda said with her eyes glossed over with tears as she kissed him with he returned

The two of them didn't even pay attention to Shisui who was crying tears of joy from what he heard

"Are you seriously crying!?" Sasuke asked his cousin in shock

"It's just so beautiful" Shisui said trying to wipe the tears away while avoiding his sensitive eyes.

Sasuke rolled his eyes as he was currently bottle feeding Tsuki "So you say" Sasuke mumbled dryly as he looked up to see his brother and sister in law get up and walked over to them "So, are you going to look at us differently? Or do I have to act like I'm something else?" Sasuke asked of Glynda who looked slightly taken back from the comment

"No I'm not and yes if you could. It be nice to see you act more polite to others" Glynda answered bluntly

"Oi" Sasuke said as the muscle on his brow twitched in annoyance as Itachi let out a snort of laughter while Shisui let out a hearty laugh

"But that isn't how you are Sasuke and I don't to change you. Your my little brother, even if technically you're older than me, and I love you for who you are. Even if you are a little rough around the edges when it comes to socializing with others but you're still my brother" Glynda said with a soft smile as Sasuke stared at her not really sure what to say at that moment

Sasuke continued to stare before looking away with a grumble. Sasuke then handed her Tsuki who let out a yawn "Seems it's time for bed" Glynda said softly as she began to head towards Tsuki's room "I'll talk to you in a bit" Glynda said placing a small kiss on Itachi's kiss before continuing on her way

"Are you two going to be okay" Shisui asked Itachi sincerely

"Yeah, my wife is a strong woman. She'll get over this soon" Itachi said with a tired smile as Shisui placed his hand on his shoulder

"You found a good woman, I'm happy for you" Shisui said with a smile that Itachi returned

"Thank you my friend, let's just hope something like this never happens again because honestly this drained me a lot emotionally" Itachi said with a tired huff

"Don't worry the next time something like this happens it'll be us who will have to go through this eventually" Shisui said gesturing to him and Sasuke who raised a brow

"What does that mean?" Sasuke asked

"Well the two of us will one day find someone like Itachi and then it'll be our turn to have this heart wrenching conversation with them. . . Probably, depends on the women we fall in love with" Shisui said calmly as Sasuke let out a scoff

"Like that will ever happen. I'm going home, I had enough of this drama" Sasuke said getting up from his seat and made his way to the door "If you need anything call and when I mean call, I mean have Glynda call me because you can't see just yet" Sasuke called out to them as he walked out the door. Sasuke let out another scoff "Like I'll ever find someone like that" Sasuke muttered softly to himself as he let out a tired sigh before he made his way back home

"Alright class be sure to turn in your assignments next week" Itachi called out to his class. It's been a week since the little episode he had with his wife and they were mending their relationship which was growing stronger than before.

Itachi after he took his bandages off his face saw in the mirror his new Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that was drastically different from his original. His pupil was in the center of a red triangle with its sides slightly curved while the entire thing was tilted 60° from the center. On the tip of each point of the triangle was another triangle that curved outward to the edge of his iris. Then at the tip of that triangle was another triangle that outstretched and curved along the edge while it became thinner as it connected with one of the other curved triangles, making his entire outer edge of his iris was red. Everything else was completely onyx black

Shisui who looked at his new eyes had less of a drastic change then Itachi other than his eyes being inverted with red where it was black. His round four tipped curved throwing star became thinner and the tips became more elongated, reaching the end of his iris. His pupil changed as it was now shaped as a four point star. Then there were the four tomoes with each one was placed around the edges of the throwing star points.

Itachi was putting away some papers when he noticed one of his students was still writing in her notes. Itachi raised a brow and walked over to his student "Ms. Scarlatina, class is over" Itachi told the rabbit faunus who jumped up with a start as she stared at her teacher who was hovering over her

"S-Sorry I had some trouble writing the notes, I-I'll be finished in a little bit" Velvet said nervously as Itachi stared at her fidgeting hand as he saw it was slightly red and was beginning to swell

Itachi frowned and knelt down to her level and stared directly in her eyes "Is something the manner Ms. Scarlatina" Itachi asked politely

"I-It's nothing you need to worry about professor" Velvet said dismissively as Itachi frowned

"Mind if I asked why you have trouble holding onto your pen?" Itachi said gesturing to her red hand

"O-Oh it's nothing, I just accidentally slammed my locker door against my hand that's all" Velvet said waving him off as Itachi just narrowed his eyes at her

"You accidentally slammed your own hand against your locker door" Itachi repeated in a slow deadpanned tone

". . Yes" Velvet replied meekly as Itachi took a deep breath

"Ms. Scarlatina, are you being bullied?" Itachi asked as Velvet was taken back by the questioned and looked away as that already gave Itachi the answer

"No of course not" Velvet said quickly as Itachi continued to stare at her

"Velvet Scarlatina, look me in the eyes and say you aren't being bullied" Itachi demanded sternly as Velvet wouldn't meet his eyes. Itachi took a deep breath and let out a sigh "Velvet listen to me well, I'm trying to help you and make sure this never happens again. So tell me, are you being bullied?" Itachi asked sincerely as Velvet bit her lip as it looked like she wanted to cry before she met his eyes

". .Yes" Velvet said in a quiet meek tone that held so much sadness with it only being one word

Itachi let out a tired sigh "At least you were able to say it, if not I wouldn't have let you go until you said so" Itachi said calmly as Velvet looked at him in complete shock "I'm guessing they're messing with you because of" Itachi said gesturing to her ears as Velvet nodded "Alright, you can tell me about it as we make our way to the nurses office. That hand needs to be looked at if there is any fractured bones" Itachi said pulling himself back up as Velvet got out of her seat "When did this start happening?" Itachi asked as he walked out of his classroom with Velvet in tow

". . . Since I got off the airship in the beginning of the year" Velvet said reluctantly as Itachi stopped walking to stare at her

"And you didn't think it was necessary to talk to us professors about this or even your own teammates?!" Itachi asked in complete shock that the girl has been bullied since day one of her first year at Beacon

"I didn't want to be a burden on anyone" Velvet said softly with a hint of sadness

"You are not a burden Velvet, you are a young woman who has the potential to be a great huntress. You shouldn't put yourself down like that" Itachi said as he continued to walk with Velvet as they made it to the nurses office. The two walked in to see the elderly nurse at her desk0

"Ah, hello professor, is there something you need" The nurse asked politely

"Yes, mind taking a look at young Scarlatina's hand" Itachi said putting his hand on Velvet's shoulder as he guided her to the nurse. The Nurse gently grabbed Velvet's hand and narrowed her eyes at how swollen it become

"How did this happen" The nurse said while she moved her hands over the swollen appendage as Velvet flinched ever so often

"She said it happened when someone slammed her weapon locker shut when she had her hand on the edge" Itachi said as the nurse just stared at Velvet before letting out a silent breath

"Hold on, let me see if there is any fractured bones" The nurse said as she let go of Velvet's hand as she went to grab the X-ray machine in the back

"I didn't know the academy had a functional X-ray" Itachi said aloud as he watched the old woman roll the machine to them

"It pays to be prepared, especially when taking care of students who could possibly hurt themselves without knowing it" The nurse said as she placed the machine in front of Velvet. She then took out a green lead vest "Put this on" She said handing it to Velvet who complied and put it on"Now let's see the damaged" The nurse said as she placed Velvet's hand under the screen as it took a picture of her hand. The nurse took the black thin sheet and placed it up on the lights on the side of the wall and turn it on. It showed Velvet's skeletal hand which the nurse examined "Hm~, ah! There is a small fracture in the intermediate phalanges of your pointer finger as well as the proximal phalanges of the same finger" The nurse stated calmly as Itachi nodded

"Huh?" Velvet uttered as she wasn't able to understand most of what she said

"The bottom and middle digit of your right finger has a fracture in it. Nothing severe but still warrants for a brace to help mend it" The nurse explained as Velvet nodded "But first we're need to something about that swelling. It's not good on that finger as it is of now" The nurse said pulling out a small scalpel and putting it on the side before pulling out a needle "Crude as it is, but the quickest way to alleviate the pressure is to let out some blood" The nurse said as Velvet looked scared

"Let me guess, you're afraid of needles aren't you?" Itachi asked as Velvet nodded quickly. Itachi rolled his eyes in mirth and decided to take help her take her mind off it "Tell Ms. Scarlatina, would you like to see my daughter" Itachi said pulling out his Scroll and began pulling out a picture of his daughter when she was born

"Aw~ She's so adorable" Velvet squealed as she didn't even notice the nurse poked her with a syringe to dull the pain as she was already pulling out the scalpel as Itachi went through photos of his daughter

"Alright I'm done" The nurse said regaining the attention of Velvet who realized that her hand was bandaged up and had a splint on her finger "I also took the liberty to call your team as you were so engrossed on Mr. Uchiha's daughter to notice" The nurse said causing Velvet to balk as she didn't want to really involve her team with this

She didn't get anything to say as the door to the nurses slammed open to reveal Velvet's team leader "What's this about you getting hurt and bullied Velvet" Coco said sternly as she looked at Velvet's hand

"I-I'm fine, really I'm fine there's nothing to worry about" Velvet said trying to calm her leader down

"Velvet your my teammate, what kind of leader am I if I don't help my teammate and friend" Coco said with a huff as Velvet flinched which Coco noticed. Coco let out a tired sigh "Velvet look at me" Coco asked tiredly as Velvet did as her leader asked "I want you to promise that if someone does this to you again you come to me. So that way we'll break their legs for even thinking of messing with team CFVY" Coco said with a confident smirk as she crack her knuckles for emphasis

"Ahem" Itachi uttered which made Coco realized that a professor was present

"By handing them over to the nearest professor I mean" Coco said with a cough while looking away

Itachi rolled his eyes with a smile "I don't mind you take actions in your hands, but please try to make it look like an accident if you do" Itachi said with a smile before being hit on the head by a clipboard by the nurse

"Don't tell them things like that, I already have enough trouble with students getting hurt from assignments, I don't want you to endorse some sort of vigilante justice into their minds" The nurse said with a huff

"Nothing wrong about taking things into your own hands, or even revenge for that matter" Itachi said nonchalantly as that earned him a glare from the nurse while Coco chuckled at bluntness

"If only all professors acted like you" Coco said with smirk while having one hand on her hip

Itachi rolled his eyes once more "Yes but how about we talk about something else, like for instance how to stop this from happening again" Itachi said seriously as all playfulness was gone from his voice. Coco nodded while Velvet looked down as she bit her lip "I suggest having her learn some martial arts" Itachi said as everyone in the room looked at him completely shocked at his choice of reasoning "Before any of you even think its a bad thing it's not. Learning to fight with your bare hands, which I know you don't do as you're a mostly a Dust mage like my dear wife" Itachi said with a smile before continuing "Is a very good way to let out your emotions and help you build up confidence, hell if I wanted to I could beat up all the professors in Beacon with only my fists. . Again, good times" Itachi said with a smirk as the two girls look at him in shock while the nurse let out an irritated sigh

"Why you did that in the first place I'll never know" The nurse said dryly as she confirmed what he said was true

"I was bored, and it was a dare made by my old class that already graduated as they wanted to see me fight the professors, excluding Ozpin and my wife, for their graduation. Good times" Itachi said with a reminiscent sigh while the others in the room sweat dropped "But the point is that you need to build up your confidence Velvet. Don't think of yourself as some weak little girl, think of yourself as someone who others depend on. You're training to be a huntress, a person millions of people will soon depend on, be that person that people depend on. Now what are you, a scared little girl or a huntress" Itachi said confidently as Velvet looked up at him unsure

". . .I'm a huntress" Velvet said meekly

"Louder" Itachi said

"I'm a huntress" Velvet said with mild confidence

"Louder!" Itachi nearly shouted

"I'm a huntress" Velvet said picking her voice up

"LOUDER!" Itachi shouted

"I'M A HUNTRESS!" Velvet shouted with courage

"Do you care what others think of you!" Itachi shouted

"NO, I'M A HUNTRESS AND I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME!" Velvet shouted out in a blaze of confidence as Coco who was leaning against the wall of the office had a genuine smile on her face at how her shy teammate's confidence was growing. The nurse on the other hand shook her head at their interaction and decided to get her work done

"That a girl" Itachi said with a smile with his hands behind his back "Now I could recommend some people to teach you how to fight or if you want I can teach you" Itachi said with a smile as the girls were taken back by the offer

"Not to be rude or pass the opportunity for Velvet to learn or anything but why?" Coco asked as Itachi thought about it for a moment

"Honestly other than my brother, cousin and myself no one knows our fighting style. You're agile enough to move and react if trained properly and you're very patient when it comes to learning that it would be easy for you to pick up the techniques I would teach you. . . . That and I always wanted a pupil of my own" Itachi said with a giant smile, true he couldn't teach her everything as that would require countless years to hone ones body to peak performance like Might Guy did with his own pupil Rock Lee. Velvet sweat dropped for his reason while Coco let out a small chuckle "So what do you say" Itachi said with another smile

Velvet looked at him nervously before turning to her partner who gave her a reassuring nod and smile. Velvet bit her lip as she thought about it as she didn't want this stuff to happen anymore and not be a burden so she looked up and looked Itachi in the eyes "I would you to teach me how to fight" Velvet said with actual confidence in her voice she didn't realize she had as Itachi smiled as he knew he made her life better with this

(The rest of this chapter takes part in 2014-15)

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Come on"

"No"

"I'll give you a back rub"

"No"

"Oh come on Sasuke, please" Yang begged as she clasped her hands together in a pleading motion

"How many times am I going to say this, NO!" Sasuke shouted before being hushed by a passing librarian. They were currently in the city's library as Sasuke came here to get away from his 'adoring fans' for some peace and quiet where he surprisingly found Yang at a table in the back of the place. He regretted sitting next to her because the next moment he did she was asking him to play a game with her to practice against Ruby

"Oh come on Sasuke, it's easy to learn and it's really fun" Yang pleaded as she gestured to the board game on the table. The game being 'Remnant, the Game'

"Maybe the reason why I don't want to play is because I don't do kid games" Sasuke said dryly

"Oh come on, it's not a kid game. It's a tactical strategy game where you conquer your opponents land" Yang explained as Sasuke rolled his eyes "And I need someone to play with because honestly the only reason I'm here is because there's nothing to do at all today" Yang said with a tired slumped as she rest her head on the table

Sasuke stared at her for a moment before letting out an irritated groan "Fine" Sasuke said reluctantly as Yang's head popped up from the table "But only one game" Sasuke stated sternly as Yang nodded eagerly

"Okay, here let explain how to play. Don't worry I'll go easy on you" Yang said with a smirk

~5 turns later~

"And by playing 'Revolutions End' I have ended the uprising of the people of your kingdom and have them rally behind mine in the end leaving you only with ten percent of all of you land" Sasuke said calmly as he placed the card down as Yang just stared blankly at the game board showing that no matter what she does she lost

"How" Yang asked softly

"Honestly it's not that hard, are you sure you don't want me to teach you instead" Sasuke said with a smirk as Yang glowered at him

"Rematch" Yang hissed out

"Alright" Sasuke said with a shrug

~Five games later~

"By playing 'Destruction of Value' it causes your economy value system to break down to nothing and turn your kingdom into a depression where riots and suicide becomes norm and in the end leaves your kingdom defenseless to my 'Rule of Law' Where the higher authority, albeit with money or land, can take over another weaker kingdom as long as it's value is a quarter of the users percentage, which is yours. Congratulations you lasted longer than any other game, well done" Sasuke said with a hint of cockiness while giving her a slow clap

Yang was currently gripping the table edge with her eyes twitching with irritation as glared down at the game board. Yang took in a deep breath before looking directly into Sasuke's eyes with her piercing red eyes that shown how irritably mad she was that it made even Sasuke flinch under her gaze

". . . So. . I see that it's getting late and I'll see you later at school. . Bye" Sasuke said quickly getting up and quickly leaving the library.

Yang just stared at where Sasuke was sitting as she took several deeps breaths to come herself down "Cocky bastard" Yang said placing her head against her hand as her elbow was propped up against the table "Though it is nice to see him actually have fun once in awhile" Yang said with a soft smile before frowning ". . . Though I wish I know how the hell he beat me so damn easily. I ranked freaking third in last years tournament" Yang hissed in annoyance

~Meanwhile~

Sasuke was walking home before something hit his wrist as he remembered something "I forgot to take these out" Sasuke said pulling several cards from sleeves "She didn't say anything about cheating when she was explaining the rules" Sasuke said to himself with a little snicker as he walked back home with an evil smile

---

Sasuke was in his bed when he woke up with a slight pain in his left eye. He's been getting these irritations for awhile now at random intervals, up to now it's just been mild irritation or pain. When he talked to Itachi about it his brother said he couldn't find anything wrong with it, even when they went to the doctors for normal reasons they didn't find anything.

So since then he has been ignoring these mild occurrences to the best of his capabilities as he made his way downstairs. After eating breakfast with his family he walked out the front door while saying goodbye to his parents he found Itachi right in front of the door wearing his Akatsuki outfit. Before Sasuke could ask why he was here Itachi tossed him his Akatsuki cloak and mask

"Make a clone, send him to school and put that on. You can put on the armor later" Itachi said quickly gesturing to the anbu outfit he had in his arm as Sasuke took only a second to look at Itachi before complying. Sasuke made his clone and gave it it's directions. He then put the outfit on

"What's going on?" Sasuke asked after placing the mask on his face

"We're going to Mistral to take part in the annual Regional tournament" Itachi explained

"Okay, why?" Sasuke asked curiously as the two began walking down the street towards the airport

"We of the Akatsuki of the kingdom of Kizuro have been courteously invited to take part in their tournament to better stregthen the ties between the kingdoms" Itachi said in a professional voice

". .So in other words they are basically goading us to compete and show the world what we can do" Sasuke clarified

"Essentially, but seeing as we don't have any young students that even classified as ready to even compete we decided to have you compete in their stead as you are in the age range for the tournament" Itachi stated as Sasuke let out a tired sigh

"Not really okay with you doing this without my consent but fine, I had nothing better to do anyways" Sasuke said with a shrug "By the way I need to pick up my weapons" Sasuke reminded him

"Already got your Kusanagi, I didn't get your Kubikiribōchō because it would be too obvious to who you are if you use it in the future" Itachi informed him as Sasuke nodded "It's on the airship that Shisui let us borrow to take us to Mistral which would take some time but will give us enough time to arrive an hour before the tournament starts" Itachi said as they made it to the airport where they went onto their airship that was waiting for them. During the time they were traveling to Mistral Itachi handed Sasuke a dossier of all the competition and saw his competition wasn't much of a problem. That was until he came upon an high ranked student from Sanctum who could prove him a challenge

The airship soon arrived in Mistral as they left the airship and made their way to the stadium where the tournament was being held. While on their way they were getting odd looks from the locals who moved away from them when they walked past. They decided it was basically paranoia for why they were acting like this as it wasn't everyday that a famous mercenary group became the sole military of the new kingdom like nothing.

As soon as they arrived at the stadium they saw the entrance was covered with people and news crews. The two of them walked towards the entranced where, sadly, they gained the attention of said news crews

"Now we are live at the at Mistral stadium as the regional tournament is just a short hour away and- Oh my god it's the Akatsuki" One newswoman said gaining the attention of all other newscasts as they all started to gather around the two members

They both let out an irritated groan as they pushed their way out of the of the mob while ignoring most of their questions about what they are doing or why they became the new kingdom's main army

They finally made it to the entrance where the bouncers stopped the newsmen from following them. They let out a sigh of relief for the silence as they made it to the barracks where they were to wait before the tournament starts.

Sasuke was currently sharpening his Kusanagi as he noticed two people approaching him and his brother

"Hello there, I must say it's an honor that the kingdom of Kizuro would join our gracious tournament, but" The man said said looking at Sasuke "Is he really in the age limit" The man said questionably

"Do not worry, Taka here is as young as most of the other participants" Itachi said professionally as Sasuke continued to sharpen his blade

"I see, it's just that it's a bit difficult to believe that if he wears a mask" The man retorted calmly

"It's just a custom we have to wear masks to help disguise ourselves when we're out on assignments" Itachi said dismissively as he was getting slightly irritated by being around the man

"An odd custom but I guess we should respect them" The girl that was with the man said politely with utmost honesty

"I'm guessing you're one of the competitors taking part in the tournament" Itachi said gesturing to the attire and weapons she had

"Yes, this is my fourth year actually" The girl said with a bashful attitude

"This here is Pyrrha Nikos, and she's on her way too her fourth year of winning this tournament" The man said with a cocky smirk

"Never heard of you" Sasuke said bluntly while he continued to examine the edge of his weapon for any imperfections. Pyrrha just blinked before smiling that she's meeting someone who doesn't know about her status

"What have you been doing, sleeping under a rock or something" The man said harshly

"No, I was training and doing something more important then looking up useless information like what you're spewing out of your mouth" Sasuke said rudely as he getting annoyed by the man's cocky personality

"I can't wait until my girl here takes you down. You have a few minutes to do whatever you want Pyrrha, remember you're up first" The man said walking away from them

"Of course coach. . . I'm sorry for his attitude but he's riding on hard for me to win this tournament again so I could have a four year streak" Pyrrha said with a tired sigh "It was a pleasure meeting you two" Pyrrha said with a bow before leaving them to their own business

". . . What a nice girl" Itachi said offhandedly as Sasuke just let out his signature 'hn' in response as he continued to sharpen his blade

"So what exactly is the game plan. Just win or is there some ulterior motive for me being here" Sasuke asked bluntly as Itachi shook his head

"Nope, no ulterior motive or anything. We need the publicity for the kingdom to show Kizuro is nothing to scoff at and I figure you need to relieve some stress by hitting something" Itachi said in an upbeat tone as Sasuke let out a scoff

The tournament soon began as competitors after competitors went out to fight with the victor going on to the next round.

Sasuke had no problem dealing with the competition as they weren't up to his standard and barely posed a challenge to him. The same went to Pyrrha as she wasn't hit once as Sasuke saw her fighting style and had to admit it was quite unique. But what drew him in was the fact all attacks directed at her missed even though they should've hit. Sasuke filed that bit of information away as he was up next against some guy from Atlas.

It didn't last long as Sasuke easily put the guy into a hold until he tapped the ground as he called out forfeit. Sasuke was now in the finals going against Pyrrha as the crowd was in a uproar for the match to begin.

"Remember Sasuke, this girl isn't a pushover" Itachi reminded him as Sasuke nodded as he made his way to the center of the arena

"Ladies and gentleman this is the match you have been waiting for!" The announcer shouted into the microphone "In the left is the upstart from the new kingdom called Kizuro. Give a warm shout out to: Taka~!" The announcer shouted as the crowd was a mixed of boos and cheers "And on the right is the defending champion with three wins under her belt and approaching the fourth. Give a warm welcome to, The Invincible girl: Pyrrha Nikos!" The announcer shouted as the entire stadium roared with cheers as Pyrrha waved to her adoring crowd as she had a tired look that shown she was getting tired of the spotlight "Let the match, BEGIN!" The announcer shouted as the roars of cheers echoed the stadium

Pyrrha pulled out her sword and shield while Sasuke just stood standing in anticipation of her first move. Pyrrha soon rushed forward with a slash as Sasuke jumped back before rolling to the side as Pyrrha's sword became a rifle as she fired rounds at him. Sasuke then rushed forward in a zigzag motion as Pyrrha couldn't get a clean shot on him as he was moving too fast for her to shoot. Sasuke jumped up and kicked Pyrrha who blocked with her shield as she pushed him back.

Sasuke landed in a crouch as Pyrrha was upon him with her shield on her back as she now wielded a spear and tried to impale him. Sasuke sidestepped away from the lunge as it ripped part of his cloak revealing some of his chest armor and his left arm. Sasuke then grabbed Pyrrha's outstretched spear and used it as leverage as he lifted himself up and kicked at Pyrrha's head. Pyrrha saw this and blocked with her forearm as she pushed him back as she took back out her shield. Pyrrha threw her shield at Sasuke who expected this action had enough time to move out of the way from the throw but didn't count for it to rebound from the walls of the arena as it hit him squarely in the back of his head.

A jolt of pain washed over Sasuke as he subconsciously closed his left as the pain was affecting it greatly. Sasuke grit his teeth but continued to ignore the pain as he kept his focus on the girl in front of him.

Pyrrha had a worry look when she could see he was in great pain even if she can't see his face. But what concerned her was that he wasn't hurting from the blow to the head but something else that made her want to call off the fight so he could get some help. But she didn't have the chance to even act on it as she was nearly cut in half when her opponent lunged at her with a sword he just drawn

Itachi on the sidelines saw what happened and had a worried look beneath his mask. When Sasuke told him about the pain in his eye he had his suspicion to what is happening but until he knew for sure he didn't act on it as it wouldn't matter anyway if his suspicions were correct.

Sasuke slashed and stabbed at Pyrrha who adeptly dodged and parried his attacks. Pyrrha tried to bash him with her shield but Sasuke caught it in his hand as he held her in place as he slashed at Pyrrha but what he wasn't expecting was for him to miss at point blank range. As the blade pass along the side of her head Pyrrha who kicked Sasuke back away from her to gain some distance.

Sasuke stared at her for a moment before he began picking the pieces together and realized what happened. What Sasuke did next surprised Pyrrha this time as Sasuke threw his own sword at her as it didn't even hit near her as it embedded itself on the ground a few feet behind her. But what this gave Sasuke was a window of opportunity as he rushed forward and threw a punch. Pyrrha at the last minute held her shield up as Sasuke's fist connected with the metal before he grabbed the edge of the shield to hold her in place again. He then threw a punch with his free hand as Pyrrha blocked it with her own free arm. Sasuke didn't stop there as he moved to the side and sent a kick to her side where Pyrrha anticipated this and blocked the kick but wasn't prepared for Sasuke to headbutt her.

Sasuke's mask cracked a bit around his left eye but he ignored it. Sasuke then sent a straight kick into her gut knocking the air out of her. He followed up with a leg sweep that knocked Pyrrha off balanced as she couldn't stop the round house kick against the side of her face that sent her to the ground. Pyrrha quickly pushed herself back up as she moved back as she was nearly hit again by a high kick. Pyrrha stumble back as her hand brushed past something as she realized it was Sasuke's sword. Pyrrha looked back up to see Sasuke in the air diving towards her with a kick

Pyrrha held her shield up and blocked the strike but the force of the attack was able to push her back a bit as Sasuke landed in a crouch as he grabbed his sword in his left hand. Sasuke then darted towards her with a slash as Pyrrha was ready to divert the attack but what he did surprised her. Sasuke threw his sword up and grabbed it in his right hand in a reverse grip and instead of slashing he jabbed the end of the hilt at her. Pyrrha tried to stop it by attacking but Sasuke grabbed her wrist before she could even reach him as the but of the hilt hit directly against her forehead. Sasuke then dropped his sword and with both hands clapped Pyrrha's ears, disorienting her for a bit as Sasuke followed with an elbow strike and a spin kick sending her to the floor.

Pyrrha rolled on the floor before pushing herself back up with her shield held close to her chest while her sword was held up high. The two competitors stared at each other panting slightly before Sasuke let out a soft chuckle which confused

"What's so funny?" Pyrrha asked quizzically as she kept her guard up

"Nothing it's just that only one other person I know at our age has forced me to work this hard to win. It's nice to know there are other people in the world that are as skilled as I. I have to thank you for this fight" Sasuke said complimenting the redhead who blinked at his reason before smiling

"You're welcome and it's an honor to fight someone as skilled as yourself as well" Pyrrha said as she had to admit it was a thrill to fight someone on her level of skill.

Sasuke then took his cloak off leaving him with only his armor underneath, the hood connected to the cloth of his undershirt to keep his distinct hair hidden and his cracked hawk mask. Pyrrha took in her opponent and saw his stance was much different as the weight of the cloak must've made it harder to move. She took everything in trying to find a weak spot in his defense. She found none as her eyes continued to wander as it landed on the tattoo on Sasuke's shoulder and committed the image to memory.

Sasuke pulled several shurikens out from his holster and threw them at Pyrrha. Pyrrha easily blocked with her shield as she moved back when Sasuke rushed forward in front of her. He then jumped to the side as he then rushed her at her right as he threw a kunai she deflected with her sword before it clashed with Sasuke's sword. Sasuke then kicked Pyrrha's leg making her stumbled back as Sasuke reached out and grabbed her shield again but this time ripped it out of her grip and tossed it to the side.

They soon started swinging their swords as their blades constantly clashed against each other as they tried to get a foothold in the sword fight. The two were soon locked in place while they pushed against each other before they jumped back as Pyrrha turned her sword into her rifle and fired a round Sasuke who deflected the shot with the side of his blade. Pyrrha kept firing and made no progress as Sasuke constantly deflected each round before Pyrrha decided to change her style again as she changed the gun into it's spear form.

Pyrrha lunged forward as Sasuke moved to the side before ducking as Pyrrha sent a wide sweep with the spear. Pyrrha struck the ground as she jumped up using the spear lodged in the ground as leverage to gain more momentum for her downward kick that Sasuke dodged. Pyrrha pulled the spear out of the ground and lunged at Sasuke. He moved back but was surprised when the spear let out a round and extended a few feet as Sasuke narrowly dodged the strike as it cut part of the side of his hood. Pyrrha spun around with a low swing as Sasuke jumped to get out of the way as he crossed his arms to block the kick she sent at him.

Sasuke's feet skidded across the floor before he pushed himself back at her with a slash as Pyrrha turned her spear back into it's sword form. Their blades connected as they were once again in a standstill before Sasuke pushed to the side and both of their blades was sent to the side flying. The two of them locked eyes with each other before jumping back a few feet and went into their respective fighting stances.

Sasuke stood sideways with one hand behind his back and an open palm outwards towards Pyrrha. Pyrrha stood slightly to the side as she held one of her fist close to her chest while holding the other one out.

They stared at each other for a moment before rushing each other. Sasuke threw a kick that Pyrrha kicked away as she sent a punch he moved his head from. Sasuke grabbed her arm and threw a punch but Pyrrha grabbed his arm. Their arms crossed before she tried to knee him but he blocked it with his own knee before falling back and threw Pyrrha behind him with a sacrifice throw. Sasuke jumped back upright as Pyrrha rolled back into a crouch.

Sasuke then went back up to Pyrrha and threw three punches which she dodged. Pyrrha sent a roundhouse that Sasuke ducked as he sent a right straight at her. Pyrrha moved to the side as the punch flew past her face harmlessly as she tried to elbow Sasuke but he blocked with his forearm before it could hit him. Sasuke sent a strike as Pyrrha moved her head at every punch before pushing Sasuke away

Pyrrha ran up to him with a jump and threw a punch that Sasuke blocked with both hands. Pyrrha pulled herself overhead and brought her foot down in a helix kick that hit the side of Sasuke's head. Sasuke stumbled back as the crack on the left side of the mask grew but he ignored it.

Sasuke brought his knee up as Pyrrha kicked it back down as Sasuke followed up with a round house that Pyrrha blocked with her forearm but didn't count for the momentum as Sasuke pushed through and knocked her guard off and followed up with a spin kick to the gullet. Pyrrha righted herself back up and threw a left hook that Sasuke then grabbed and put it under his arm and moved it back as he punched her side. Pyrrha blocked his fist before the second punch hit as she sweeped his leg underneath and then flipped him onto his back as piece of Sasuke's mask broke off during the fall

Sasuke rolled back into a handstand and pushed straight up as his feet nearly hit Pyrrha's chin. Sasuke flipped forward and stared Pyrrha down as they were both equally exhausted from the long fight. They both glanced at the giant monitor up on the side of the ring and saw the two of them were just a inch away from going into the red giving the other the win.

Pyrrha looked back at Sasuke and her eyes widened when she saw his left eye that was exposed from the broken mask. His eye had blood pouring from his socket in a high quantity. Sasuke on the other hand was having another one of the painful moments he had but this was by far the worst he felt, it was as if his face was on fire.

"Are you alright" Pyrrha asked in complete concern as Sasuke waved her off

"I"m fine, let's just finish this before- GAH!" Sasuke shouted in pain as his knees wobbled slightly as he clasped his hand against his eye in pain.

"Taka!" Pyrrha shouted in concern as she was about to move towards him but stopped when he held his hand up telling her to stop. She watched as he pulled his hand away and gasped as the color of his eye changed. Before she saw he had cold onyx eyes but now they were an ominous purple. His eyes slowly opened as she stared at the rings surrounding his pupils and the six tomoes. She felt as if he was peering into her soul and never before have felt so much fear put into her. It wasn't just left but his other eye also glowed in his mask that still covered his face as she felt a shiver go down her spine as she saw the piercing red eye looking down on her

"I suggest forfeiting now" Sasuke began in a cold voice "Because if you thought I was a challenge before then this is will become a nightmare because I won't be held responsible if I kill you in this state" Sasuke said in a calm collective voice as Pyrrha knew that he was telling the truth because she could feel the cold power running down her spine as every fiber of her body told her to run away

"I-I-I. . I forfeit!" Pyrrha shouted as Sasuke closed both his eyes and began walking away as Itachi jumped down from the crowd above who was furious as to the outcome of the match. Itachi quickly rushed over to Sasuke and checked him over before guiding him out of the arena.

"I-I don't believe this but Taka has won the tournament, breaking Pyrrha's winning streak!" The announcer shouted in shock "This match was one for the record books for both the duration of the match and it's intensity. It was only at the end did we not expect Pyrrha to give up, was it pity for seeing Taka being hurt or was it something else, we may never know" The announcer stated as Pyrrha just stared at where the two members of the Akatsuki left and wondered how close to death she was if she continued the fight.

-0-0-0-0

"Are you able to walk back to the airship" Itachi asked his little brother who was holding his hand against his left eye as they were walking down a hallway towards the exit of the stadium

"I think I can, shouldn't you be up there as a representative to accept the award or whatever I just won" Sasuke said tiredly as he stumbled a bit before Itachi helped him straighten himself out

"Don't worry, we'll send someone to pick it up. Besides what's more important you're health or some stupid award and speech I would have to do" Itachi asked rhetorically as Sasuke let out a bitter laugh

"I'm sure you just didn't want to make that speech and used me for an excuse" Sasuke retorted sarcastically

"Oh Sasuke how could you think of me like that, I think my feelings are now hurt" Itachi said dramatically in a feign hurt voice as Sasuke chuckled at his brother's attitude as it brought his spirits up a bit

"Come on, let's just get back to the airship" Sasuke asked tiredly as he closed both his eyes as he passed out

Itachi caught him before he fell to the ground "Dammit foolish brother, don't work yourself out" Itachi said bitterly at the condition his brother is in. Itachi put his brother on his back and carried him back to the airship as he ignored the hated looks he was getting from the crowd that was forming outside the stadium "Move" Itachi said in a dark voice as his Sharingan flared as any protester about to impede his progress realized it wasn't a smart move to piss him off as the entire crowd split apart to let him through.

Itachi calmly walked away from the crowd as he soon felt something wet on his shoulder and looked to see Sasuke's eye was bleeding again. Itachi let out a curse as he rushed back to the airship in a hurry. After a good minute, under the use of chakra, he made it to the airship that was waiting for them after he sent a message to back in the stadium.

Itachi walked in to the airship and told the pilot to take off. After that he placed Sasuke down on the seats on the side of the airship. Itachi then kneeled down and tried to wake his brother up

"Sasuke, Sasuke wake up" Itachi said in a soft voice as Sasuke let out a groan and opened his right eye while holding his hand against his left

"Wha-What happened?" Sasuke asked in a slight daze

"You passed out and I carried you back to the airship. We're heading back home now actually" Itachi informed his brother who nodded

"Got any idea to what's wrong with me" Sasuke asked tiredly

"Yes actually. During the times you came to me about this pain in your eye I didn't see a thing because you weren't having one of those moments. But during the match when it was flaring I saw plain and clear with my Sharingan" Itachi stated as Sasuke looked up at him

"So what's going on?" Sasuke said as he pulled himself up, with the help of Itachi, into a sitting position

"Well as you know our chakra networks span across our entire bodies, no" Itachi asked as Sasuke nodded "Well the same could be said for our aura networks, though they are less diverse then our chakra counterparts but they still cover the important parts of our bodies. Like our eyes" Itachi said pointing to his brother's left eye

"Okay, so what? Are they merging or something?" Sasuke asked for clarification as Itachi shook his head

"No, they're trying to destroy the other network"

"WHAT!" Sasuke shouted in complete shock and worry at what he heard

"Don't worry from what I see it's only in your left eye" Itachi said trying to calm his brother down

"Why is this happening now and only in my left eye?" Sasuke asked with a tired groan

"Well I'm guessing as your body grew so did your networks and as your body continued to grow it shrunk the relative space the two networks had between each other before they began to collide. As your aura tries to defend your body from foreign threats, like white blood cells, it must've thought your chakra was a threat and tried to get rid of it, which is the reason your Rinnegan is active as it's suppressing the aura from taking effect before it completely destroys the network" Itachi stated with a tired huff as he hated not being able to help his brother

"So I'm just to let this happen, when exactly is this supposed t- ARGH!" Sasuke screamed as fell off the chair and onto the floor while clutching his eye as blood squirted out of his eye socket as the veins in his skin around his eye turned black

"Apparently now" Itachi stated in a dry tone

"Help me dammit!" Sasuke yelled at him in pain as he tried his best to hold in the screams of anguish

"I'm sorry brother, I really am but if I try to do anything to lessen the pain like knock you unconscious I'll just lengthen the inevitable to another date as your networks would go silent before resuming when you wake up. There's your choice a quick painful destruction of your aura network in your eye to a slow one at intervals of your choosing" Itachi stated as Sasuke cursed loudly as he screamed in anguish as Itachi had no choice but watch his brother struggle in the pain as blood poured from his eye constantly. After an hour as they were soon approaching Vale Sasuke finally calmed down as he let out ragged breaths as the top half of his body was in a pool of his own blood that came all from his eye.

"Well I'm going to have to explain Shisui why one of his airships has a puddle of blood in his airship" Itachi remarked dryly as he pulled Sasuke out of puddle of his own blood and back on the chair he was sitting at before. Itachi examined his eye that was in it's Rinnegan form which was now a faint pink hue from the constant blood pouring from it "Well the aura networks around the eye are dead like I said and it seems your chakra is in permanent use around the damaged area to keep it stable. Seems your Rinnegan is now permanent" Itachi stated as he just noticed Sasuke passed out again "Should've guessed he passed out from the blood loss" Itachi muttered as he pulled out a blood increasing pill of his own make and popped it in Sasuke's mouth he helped him swallow it so he wouldn't have too much of a repercussion from the blood loss he just suffered ". . . I just realized I could've given him the pill before he went through that. . My bad" Itachi said sincerely to himself

As soon as the airship landed Itachi picked up his brother and put him on his back as he made his way back to his brother's house. Itachi made sure to take a path where no one they would know would see them as they reached the house. Itachi jumped up to the second story window and opened it to let them in. He was thankful Sasuke keeps his windows open so they could sneak in whenever he leaves a clone in the house.

Itachi pulled himself through the window along with Sasuke as he placed him on his bed. Itachi looked around his brother's room for something until he found it on the nightstand next to his bed. Itachi picked the headband with the leaf symbol on it and wrapped the headband around Sasuke's head as it covered his left eye.

"There, at least you'll have something to cover your eye so you wouldn't waste your chakra every time you open it" Itachi said calmly as he smirked at how if he could find a cloth mask to put on Sasuke's face he'd be a perfect imitation of Kakashi. Itachi then let out a tired sigh "Now how am I supposed to explain why Sasuke only has one eye to mother and father. . ."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Yang asked clearly concerned for her friend when she found out about his eye. They were currently walking down a hallway of Signal to their next class

"Yes I'm fine, just leave it alone" Sasuke asked with an irritated groan as he swat her hand away when her hand got near the headband covering his left eye

"Are you sure, I mean you lost an eye Sasuke during training. You can't be fine after that" Yang said as Sasuke let out a sigh. Itachi's best lie he could give his parents was that during a spar they had he accidentally slashed Sasuke's eye. He took the full brunt of their mother's anger for supposedly hurting him. It was only settled when he woke up and helped calm their mother down.

So after a talk with their mother they were finally able to calm her down as Itachi apologized for what happened and their mother accepted that. It really hurt him to see his mother like that, sometimes he wished he just genjutsu on her. . . . Wait. .

"Fuck" Sasuke muttered as he realized he could've used genjutsu in the first place to avoid this situation so people would think he still has his eye. From what he could guess why they didn't use it is because of years of not using jutsu, other then the times he trained with Itachi so they won't get rusty. They adapted to only using aura during their time in this world. But that doesn't mean he won't use his chakra whenever he can just so he could feel it again when he misses using it.

"What's wrong?" Yang asked as he heard him mutter something

"It's nothing, just that I remembered something at the wrong time" Sasuke said irritably with a groan as he might as well get used to wearing his headband over his eye. Not that he minds, it gave him a bit of nostalgia every time he sees it.

"Okay?" Yang said feeling like she shouldn't go too much into what he's talking about "Just remember that if you need any help you can just ask. I am your friend after all" Yang said giving him a comforting smile

Sasuke stared at her with his one visible eye for a moment ". . . I know and the same goes for you as well" Sasuke said with a small smile before walking ahead of her as he promptly acted like he didn't hear what she said next

"Sometimes I wonder if you'll ever truly trust me with those secrets, Sasuke"

He let out a silent sigh 'One day I'll trust you enough to tell you but not now' Sasuke thought solemnly as he continued on his way with Yang following closely behind as they headed to their next class

---

(Welcome, to the beginning of RWBY)

Sasuke was currently walking down a random street as it was beginning to get dark.

He graduated his final year of Signal already and was accepted into Beacon along with Yang as they are to start the beginning of the next term. The girl wrapped her arm around his shoulder and asked if they had a partner system that he would be on her team. He immediately said yes to his own and Yang's surprise before the girl had the biggest smiles on her face as she left him alone completely confused to why she just smiled like that

Sasuke's Scroll started to ring as he pulled it out and answered it "Yes?" Sasuke said

"Hey Sasuke, Ruby hasn't come back yet and I think she's at that store, From Dust Till Dawn, near your home. Would you mind going over there and telling her to come back home now, you know how she is when reading those weapon magazines" Yang said as Sasuke rolled his eye as he had to agree the cloak wearing girl is obsessed with weapons

"Alright, I have nothing better to do so I'll go get her" Sasuke said in bored tone

"Thank you~" Yang said in a cheerful voice as she hung up

Sasuke let out a sigh as he made his way to the dust shop. His casual walk was soon interrupted when an explosion was heard in the direction of said shop. His eyes immediately hardened as he pulled out his sword and ran to the scene. He found the street in front of the shop destroyed and the old man who owns the store looking at the busted window

"Old man" Sasuke called out as the man grunted before looking over to Sasuke "Have you seen a girl around, shorter than me, wears a red hood, carries a big scythe" Sasuke asked as the man just pointed to the roof of the building another explosion resonated off the top of the building "Ah, thank you" Sasuke said before running up the side of the building where he found his sister in law protecting Ruby

He then watched as Glynda sent blasts of Dust at the Bullhead, hitting it on several parts of its body. She then sent a blast of Dust into the air as it turned into a black storm cloud. She brought her riding crop down as the storm rained down a wave of hail that impaled onto the body of the Bullhead.

A woman then appeared on the opening of the Bullhead as her arms glowed as she sent a blast of Dust at Glynda who blocked it with a shield glyph she form in front of her. The woman then sent a gesture as the ground beneath Glynda glowed causing her to jumped back as the ground exploded upward with a wail.

Glynda landed next to Ruby and made a spinning gesture with her riding crop as the debris that was falling stopped. The debris soon glowed a faint purple as it formed into a crudely shaped spike as it was sent flying at the Bullhead. The woman then sent several blasts at the spike destroying it but reformed as the Bullhead moved out of the way as it scraped past the cockpit.

Glynda then made a gesture as the entire spike split to three moving tendrils that moved around the Bullhead. That was before the woman in red crossed her arms as glyphs formed around her as she spread her arms out a burst of flames dissolved the debris floating around the Bullhead.

Ruby then at her desperation of stopping them folded her scythe and fired at the woman who blocked each shot. The woman then waved her arms as several explosive marks appeared around them. Glynda with her crop, flung Ruby out of the way as she did a front cartwheel to move out of the way of the explosives

They watched as the Bullhead get away before Ruby turned to Glynda with a meek smile as she narrowed her eyes at the younger girl.

"Well that was a thing" Sasuke said dryly alerting the two to his presence

"You're spending too much time with Yang" Ruby said with a giggle as Sasuke groaned as he realized what he just said. Before Ruby could say something else she let out a meep when she saw Glynda's stern gaze upon her "U-Uh. . . I'm sorry" Ruby said meekly for her going after a dangerous villain.

Sasuke soon watched with a blank stare as his sister dragged Ruby away by her ear who was letting out a strings of 'ow'. Glynda stopped to stare at Sasuke with an inquisitive glance

"Eh, I have nothing better to do" Sasuke said with a shrug before following them as he put his sword back in its sheath.

"I hope you realize that actions tonight will not be taken lightly just because you're a friend of the family. You put yourself and others in great danger" Glynda said as she paced behind Ruby who was sitting down at the table in the middle of the room with a dejected expression

"But they started it!" Ruby spoke up trying to defend herself

"Honestly Ruby, if it were up to me you be sent home. With a pat on the back" Glynda said as Ruby smiled before the older woman turned her head sharply at her "And a slap on the wrist" Glynda said sternly as she slapped the table with her riding crop for emphasis as Ruby reeled back with a meep

"Don't you think you're being a little mean Glynda" Sasuke asked as the two women stared at him who was leaning against the wall on the left side of the room "I mean when her father learns what she did is going to be far more than enough punishment for her" Sasuke said with a grin as Ruby balked

"Oh Oum no" Ruby said putting her head down on the table as she realized her father is going to be furious

"As much as I want to do just that I cant just yet. There's someone here that wishes to meet you" Glynda said before walking away as a man with silver hair walked into the room with a cup of coffee and a plate of cookies

"Ruby Rose" Ozpin said as he leaned towards her face "You. . Have silver eyes" Ozpin said as Sasuke nudged his sister who looked at him. He gestured to man with a gesture of his hand asking if he was out of it which she playfully smacked him for gesturing that before standing next to Ozpin with an open Scroll.

"U-Uh" Ruby just uttered as she has no idea how to respond to that

"Where did you learn to do this" Ozpin said with a gesture with his head towards the Scroll where it showed Ruby fighting

"S-Signal Academy" Ruby answered truthfully

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed" Ozpin stated with slight skepticism

"Well one teacher in particular" Ruby said quickly

"I see" Ozpin said thoughtfully as he placed the plate of cookies down onto the table. Ruby reached out to grab one as she looked up to see if it was okay to eat as she grabbed one and stuffed it in her face. Seeing as Ozpin didn't say anything she began devouring the rest in a flurry causing Sasuke to face palm at her love of cookies "It's just that I only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before, a dusty old crow" Ozpin said sending a thoughtful glance upward

"Ooh thats mah uncrul" Ruby said with her mouth full while Sasuke didn't know why but he felt slightly offended for some reason "Sorry" Ruby said as she swallowed the food "That's my uncle Qrow, he's a teacher at signal I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing and now I'm all like" Ruby said before making karate noises while flailing her arms around. Sasuke for some reason felt even more offended by that as Glynda shook her head at her display while Ozpin kept a stoic expression on his face.

Ozpin, who still had his stoic expression on his face, placed his mug down on the table before placing his hands down on the table while leaning on it slightly "And what is an adorable girl, such as yourself, doing at a school designed to train warriors" Ozpin asked

"Well, I want to be a huntress" Ruby said in utmost seriousness

"You want to slay monsters?" Ozpin inquired

"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left at Signal and them I'm going to apply at Beacon. See my sister and Sasuke over there" Ruby gestured to Sasuke who gave them mock salute with two fingers "Is starting this year and they're trying to become huntsmen and I'm trying to become a huntress cause I want to help people, and our my parents always told us to help others so I thought 'Well I might as well make a career out of it'. I mean the police are alright, no offense Sasuke" Ruby said to Sasuke as she was referring to his father

"None taken" Sasuke said waving her off

"But huntsmen and huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and *Squeal* you know" Ruby said in quick excited voice before bringing herself down as she realized what she was doing. She looked at both the adults stoic expressions before looking over at Sasuke who gave her a blank gaze while shaking his head ever so lightly

". . . Do you know who I am" Ozpin asked after a moment

"You're professor Ozpin, you're the headmaster at Beacon" Ruby stated as Ozpin let out a small chuckle

"Hello" Ozpin greeted politely

"Nice to meet you" Ruby replied equally polite

"You want to come to my school" Ozpin inquired

"More than anything" Ruby said as Ozpin gave Glynda a glance as the older woman rolled her eyes with a small grunt

"Well okay" Ozpin said with a smile as Ruby slowly had a face of extreme joy

"Just so you can remember Ruby, your dad is probably mad at you and you're going to a school where Yang can embarrass you at any given moment. Food for thought" Sasuke said with an evil grin as he left the room where a now devastated Ruby sat

-0-0-0-0

"Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me, this is the best day ever" Yang said excitedly as she hugged Ruby uncontrollably

"Please stop" Ruby begged in a strained voice

"But I'm so proud of you~" Yang squealed in excitement

"Really sis, it was nothing" Ruby said tiredly while pushing her sister off her

"What do you mean? It was incredible, everyone in Beacon is going to think your the bee's knees" Yang said trying to bring her sister's attitude up. That was before being smack upside the head by Sasuke "What was that for?!" Yang said rubbing the back of her head as she looked at Sasuke's dry look

". . . Yang I can put up with most of your puns, but by god never say something that ridiculously stupid ever again" Sasuke asked in an irritated tone as Yang let out a huff as she crossed her arms under her chest "Besides, I'm sure Ruby just wants to be treated normally and not anything special" Sasuke stated as Ruby nodded vigorously

"I don't want to be special, I just want to be a normal girl going to a normal school" Ruby said dejectedly before her sister walked up to her and wrapped her arm around her

"But you are special" Yang said with a soft smile as the next thing she was about to say was cut off with the news blaring out with a record file of Roman Torchwick's image appeared on the hologram near them

"The robbery was lead by the notorious criminal Roman Torchwick who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the Vale police department, back to you Lisa" The newsman said before an image of a woman with light purple hair popped up on the screen

"Thank you Cyril. In other news this Saturday faunus civil protest turns dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" The video was cut off as a hologram of Glynda appeared

"Hello and welcome to Beacon" Glynda said

"Been awhile since I seen your sister. She's looking good" Yang said Sasuke who gave his usual response of a 'hn'

"My name is Glynda U. Goodwitch, you are among the privilege few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and as future huntsman and huntresses it's your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it's our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world" Glynda announced as her hologram soon faded away

"Oh wow" Ruby said in a soft voice as she approached the window as did most of the others to look at the view "Look you can see Signal from here" Ruby said in excited voice as Yang walked up to her "I guess home isn't too far after all" Ruby said as Yang put her arm around her shoulder

"Beacon is our home now" Yang said as she grabbed Sasuke with her free arm and wrapped it around his shoulder causing him to groan in slight discomfort. They soon heard someone moaning as they watched a blonde man walk past them about to puke out his breakfast "Well I guess the view isn't for everyone" Yang joked lightly as she let go of the two

"It was a nice moment while it lasted" Ruby said as Sasuke rolled his eyes and sat down on the seats next to them

"I wonder who were going to meet" Yang said curiously

"Ugh, I just hope their better than vomit boy" Ruby said slightly disgusted before noticing something "Aw Yang gross, you have puke on your shoe" Ruby pointed out as Sasuke stared at the small comedy in front of him as he looked over to Beacon quietly

"Well, let's see how this year plays out" Sasuke said with a small smirk as the two girls were still going on about the puke in the background
