Hitoko: HERE'S CHAPTER ELEVEN!

Chapter Eleven: It all comes full circle

Itachi glared at Danzo as he opened the cell door to Naruto's cell and picked up the still sleeping blonde. Itachi could tell the blonde had been under a great deal of stress and was low in energy; this also meant that if Danzo took him to his bed, there was no way the blonde could save his marital chastity to Sasuke.

"Oh don't worry, Itachi... I'll have a special seat for my beautiful queen. He'll watch as you're executed before all like the animal you are."

"I'd rather you didn't taint him more than what you've done to him in the last few days. Making him watch this will only push him to kill himself." Itachi warned him, growling out as three high ranked Priests unbound him and shackled his wrists with holy chains and dragged him out to the courtyard.

The massive army Danzo had stood, cheering as the Demon King's brother was brought out before them. They threw rotten food and rocks at him as he was set up to stand on the gallows. It was an hour before Dawn and he'd be subjected to more rotten food and beatings before they finally hung him.

He stood there, letting the angry screams and shouts wash over him, but under it all he could hear the soft sound of the wind playing with the grass. It brought back wonderful memories of playing in the garden with his mother and father. Sasuke with his mother since he was still a new born. His father laughing as he knocked him over and into a patch of dandy lions, the fluffy flowers exploding and the wind carried the seeds away. He remembered his mother singing beautifully as they'd lay in the sun, just relaxing. He remembered when they first met Naruto, the blonde was so shy it took Sasuke a hour to get the small boy to come out of hiding behind his mother's legs.

Such bliss. Is this what they mean by watching one's life flash before their eyes, seconds before they die? It wasn't such a bad thing really. To be able to relive all the joys and sorrows, to die without regret. But he had one regret. That he wasn't stronger to protect Naruto. But his heart had been very weak since Danzo killed their parents, he was amazed it didn't give out on him when he was using so much energy and causing a heavy strain on his heart. Why was he still alive?

The cheering suddenly came back, louder than ever. He opened his eyes to see Sasuke being led to him in shackles. They looked in each other's eyes and Sasuke just shook his head before Itachi suddenly dropped and jerked to a stop less than a second after, but it didn't snap his neck. He struggled vainly to breath, his mind telling his body to relax, but his body was telling his mind it needed air and it needed now!

He was turning blue in the face, the blood vessels in and round his eyes rupturing from the strain. He gurgled and gagged before suddenly he hit the floor...

~Seconds before Itachi's Hung~

Sasuke, who tried to help his brother when the trap door dropped from under him, roared loudly, a signal he gave to the others before letting himself be captured. But what he didn't expect where the priests and priestesses chanting and making the rope holy so it burned the flesh of the soon to be corpse.

"ITACHI!"

"LONG LIVE THE HUMANS! LONG LIVE THE HUMANS!" The army cheered over the demon as he watched in horror as his brother started to stop struggling. He looked away, not wanting to see another family member die, but when he heard shouts of surprise he looked to see Itachi on the floor, coughing and gulping in much needed air as Danzo roared in rage and grabbed his sword and charged Itachi...

~5 minutes before Itachi's hung~

Naruto awoke to shouting and cursing. He opened his eyes and looked round only to gasp as he saw that he was tied to a chair high above the gallows and Itachi was seconds away from dropping. He saw a few servants and looked around, the armory was the only room that was above the gallows and lacked a railing for the simple reason that unless you were a demon there was no way you could get into the room from the outside.

Naruto blinked when a cup of medicine was offered to him. He took it, it was filled with crushed vitamins, food pellets, and protein pellets. He drank it down and with in seconds his hunger was gone and he felt a lot better.

"Can you move me back? I fear I may fall from the ledge..." He whined pathetically, the two men stationed there looked worried and did as he asked and moved him back. He smiled and closed his eyes.

Last night when Itachi told him that Danzo was lying and that he killed Tori and her children, he felt anger and something inside him broke. He snapped his eyes open and began thrashing, rolling his eyes and building up spit, making it foam a little as it dribbled down his chin.

The servants feared he was possessed with an evil spirit and quickly untied him. They laid him down in the room and he suddenly stopped moving. Fearing the worse, they looked into his face and his eyes snapped open, instead of innocent blue eyes they were red. The servants ran, screaming from the room, hurrying to tell Danzo that Naruto had been possessed by an evil spirit.

Standing up, he searched the room and found a bow and a few arrows. That's when he heard Sasuke's roar.

'They have Sasuke!' He ran to the ledge and gasped. Itachi was struggling as he hung three feet from the floor. He had to choose and choose fast.

"Forgive me, Sasuke..." He aimed the arrow and took a calming deep breath. He shot the arrow and it sliced through the rope around Itachi's neck and he fell to the ground, coughing and gagging for air. He turned back inside and picked up a full quiver.

'Lord Shenron, I know my family swore to never shed blood, but this man did so much worse. Forgive me...' He prayed to his god and hurried to get out side...

~Back to the current situation~

Danzo yelled in fury as he tried to pin the Uchiha with his sword, but even in his weakened condition, Itachi was still faster. He tilted onto his shoulders and flipped himself onto his feet. Luckily for him, the humans didn't tie them. He kicked Danzo's sword out of his hand and into the crowd. The people screamed and tried to flee but the guards held them in place.

"I PROMISED AN EXECUTION, DIDN'T I?" Danzo screamed at the crowd. "AND THAT'S JUST WHAT YOU'LL GET!"

As he finished his statement an arrow whizzed by his head. He looked back to see Naruto standing on a ledge across from the gallows. He glared at the king and fired another arrow. Danzo dodged it, making it fly freely at Itachi. The Uchiha tilted his head back and took a few steps back. Danzo laughed, thinking Itachi had been hit by his careless priest, however Itachi whipped his head back around to reveal that he had caught the arrow in his teeth.

The Uchiha's eyes were blood red and the black pinwheel spun wildly in his eye. Danzo looked back and saw that Naruto had disappeared. Itachi charged him and got the upper hand by head butting the king in the stomach. Some of the people screamed in terror as their king fell to the ground.

"Foolish Danzo, you think that you can kill me?" Itachi laughed and closed his eyes for a brief moment before snapping them open again. "With the fury of my forefathers and all the demons you've killed under you cruel rein, I curse you. Look into my eyes and know your fate."

Danzo looked up into Itachi's eyes, unknowingly playing into Itachi's hand. Everything began to spin as the world around them bled red and black. The king tried to steady himself, but was only thrown against a pike, kindling throw haphazardly around his feet. His hands were tied as was his body to the wood behind him. He struggled and found it useless.

"Silly Danzo, this is my world. You don't make the rules here." And with that said, Itachi dropped a torch beneath Danzo's feet.

The flames built immediately and the King started to choke on the smoke. The fire continued to travel upwards catching the hem of his pants. He screamed in agony as the hot, black blaze caressed his skin. The flame grew hotter and burned more brilliantly as it danced up his legs to his lower stomach. It crawled higher and higher until it was right under his nose. The smoke and smell of burning flesh engulfed everything. He couldn't even scream anymore. His eyes grew droopy and the blood just never seemed to end...

Suddenly, the flames disappeared and Danzo looked down at his body. All of it was fine. He looked out at Itachi who was smirking, amusement shimmered in his eyes.

"Only seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds to go." Itachi muttered throwing the torch.

Danzo screamed as the flames engulfed him once again...

~In reality~

Sasuke smirked. His brother had caught Danzo in the Mangekyo Sharingan. He could only wonder what mental torture he was cooking up for Danzo.

The guards around Sasuke tightened their stances, making the Uchiha smirk. He knocked the legs out from under one, causing him to fall onto the others. They laid on the ground for a second while Sasuke managed to grab the key with his toes. He flipped it into his hand and the guards all watched in awe as the Uchiha tossed his shackles aside. He smirked at them before jumping below to help his brother.

Danzo was completely stunned. He couldn't will his limbs to move. He was stuck. Both Uchiha came closer, anger burning in their eyes.

"You can't do this to me! I rule you!" Sasuke jumped onto Danzo's stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He glared down at the man underneath him.

"You cannot claim what was never yours!"

"You filthy bastards... NARUTO, KILL THEM!" Danzo ordered the blonde priest.

Sasuke looked up to Naruto, the blonde shook his head, but looked up to the sky when there were roars and screeches of anger. Itachi looked up as well and sighed, seeing his brother's army and what looked like thousands of dragons.

"Itachi, get Naruto out of here." Sasuke said.

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine, you're barely standing as is." Sasuke said, reminding his brother that he was still severely ill.

"Hn... Oh by the way, I enjoyed kissing Naruto-kun, his lips are nice and soft." Itachi said before running over to the blonde.

Sasuke hissed at his brother's back but jumped off of Danzo when the man managed to get up and swing a dagger at him. The two males hissed at one another and cursed foully before attacking. Danzo swept at the Uchiha's eyes, but said demon burst into smoke before claws found their way into the old scars on his face and tore them open, digging deeper this time. Danzo screamed in agony as his men finally moved into action, the civilians took advantage of their distraction and fled, others took up arms and fought Danzo's men, a few tried to help the soldiers kill the demons.

Itachi got to Naruto and used his wings to smack a few soldiers away from the blonde, Naruto looked at him and he smiled.

"Thanks for saving my neck..." Itachi said, pulling him close when a serpent like dragon landed around them and curled up tightly to shield them from harm of the on coming arrows.

They looked up to see Shun there and the other dragon just shot twin blasts of fire out of his nose and flew off to reek havoc on the humans, who enslaved them.

"Thank you for trying to help me when I needed it most... Hold still." He loosened the noose that still hung from the demon's neck and removed the shackles, wincing at the damage they left behind. "Relax, I won't hurt you."

"Hn." Itachi watched Naruto place his hands on his wrists and they glowed blue as the burned flesh slowly began to glow too and slowly heal.

"By Shenron's power, please be healed..." Naruto prayed as he moved his hands from the older Uchiha's wrists and saw that they were healed over. He then did the same to his neck, after that he placed his hands on Itachi's heart and concentrated harder.

Itachi gasped as his heart froze and then began pumping much faster than it should, but he trusted Naruto and as his heart pumped he began to feel ill and finally pulled away to vomit. Naruto caught him and helped him empty his stomach as best he could and when it was over, Itachi looked to see a black mass instead of the normal vomit.

"That was inside you making you sick... It's a parasite that live in dragons, it's their version of white blood cells..." Naruto said.

"EW! How'd it get- Danzo... That son of a bitch!" Itachi swung around to look for Danzo as the snake like dragon moved away and they could see that Danzo had Sasuke pinned with holy arrow and was about to drive a holy sword into his heart.

"SASUKE!" Itachi screamed and flew at Danzo, but the old man swung the blade around hitting the older Uchiha in the eyes. Itachi hit the floor and screamed as his eyes bleed and burned.

"Heh... You can die first since you are so eager!" Danzo laughed as he raised his sword high above his head.

Suddenly, all the fighting stopped as the sky turned black and golden lightning filled the sky. Danzo ignored this and began to drive the sword into Itachi's chest when the roar of a dragon reached his ears and he looked up only to see a fierce dragon made of gold and red light shoot right at him and pierce through him as an unbearable pain hit him in the chest. Once the dragon's tail was gone, he looked down in shock to see an arrow in his chest.

"Wh-wha?" He looked up wide eyed at the shooter to see Naruto standing there with another arrow ready to fire. "Why?"

"You stole my family from me... I will not let you do it again." Naruto said as he shot the arrow, this time a black dragon with blue eyes pierced him in the chest, and when it was gone the arrows had punctured both sides of his heart. "Let this be a warning... Mess with the balance of power and nature and you two will feel the pain you're going to be feeling for all eternity... The Twin Dragons you so loved are not Twins; they are, in fact, Lovers."

Danzo looked at the blonde before he fell back dead. The soldiers instantly dropped their weapons and cowered before the Priest. Naruto had killed their king, the most powerful man alive and he had power over dragons, so they gave up in hopes of living.

Naruto sighed as the thunder cracked and rain began to fall. A hand landed on his shoulder, scaring him, but he turned to see Ibiki, the Harpy had his wings back, but they were heavily bandaged. Ibiki smirked and pointed to Sasuke, who was being helped over to Itachi and Suigetsu by Kakashi and Lee as Sakura ran over to them with worry.

"My queen! Are you hurt at all!" She fussed over the blonde and Naruto let her before she sighed and hurried them over to Itachi.

"This is bad... That blade did some serious damage... I'm sure that not even Naruto-kun could heal this..." Kabuto said, wincing when Itachi screamed in pain as they cleaned his wounds.

"Arrrgh! It-It's alright... I was- I was going blind anyway..."

"BAKA!" Sui shouted and hit him on the head.

"ITAI! What was that for!"

"Baka... Baka, you won't be able to see your baby! That's why!" Sui yelled at him, placing his hand on his stomach. "You won't see our child!"

"No need to worry..." Naruto said and smiled. "I can preform a surgery, but it requires a corpse's eyes... but it has to be one with the same amount of cell counts as Itachi."

"Really?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes." Naruto said with a smile. "But do you want the surgery?"

"... If that is possible." Itachi said, still feeling Sui's stomach and smiling, he was going to be a father.

"Well it's best to get out of the blood bath and get some much needed rest and treatment..." Kakashi said as the others agreed...
