Author's Note: First time in a while since I've posted a chapter on the same month that's for sure, but I'll be honest this chapter wasn't really hard to think of once I finished writing the last chapter.

Chapter 11:

Parting Ways

On the Upper Level of Mountain's Graveyard

Kabuto looks over at his pieces, and looks intrigued with how things have been going at the second division. The snake like rogue ninja observes the tactics playing over at the other divisions of the battlefield. He then stares at the one piece he's been holding in his hand for two to three minutes straight.

"How long are you gonna stare at that?" a voice calls out.

He turns around, and it is Tobi, "Well I wasn't expecting to see you here."

Tobi looks at the second division, "So Itachi managed to pull off his ultimate trump card. It amuses me what surprises he holds in store for everyone."

Kabuto licks his lips, "Eventually your ace will have to make it's move, Tobi."

He walks away, and looks back, "We both know that Kabuto, but still your trump card will be the one thing that'll bring fear upon the shinobi alliance."

"Of course." The snake like rogue ninja said.

Tobi gives Kabuto one final glance, "Don't get too confidant in yourself with this Kabuto Yakushi otherwise you'll loose focus with you're involvement in the war."

The Masked Man uses his teleportation ninjutsu as Kabuto continues to stare back at the piece he is holding in his hand.

Back to the Second Division

The shadows of The Amaterasu Susanoo brings fear into Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha's eyes. They witness Itachi colliding his susanoo with his father's susanoo. The Amaterasu Susanoo spreads black flames through Fugaku's susanoo, a large scream wails from it and Itachi's father as well.

"What did you do?" The resurrected father asks.

Itachi grinned contently, "It's one of the effects of my ultimate trump card. You see when a shinobi comes in contact with it, not only does it weaken one jutsu. But it also burns anything within a matter of seconds. You should also know that it's one of the only jutsus that can actually stop the Edo Tensei; I mean you should know that Izuna Uchiha's rival was non other than The second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."

"Do what you can to stop us." His mother asks as she makes a handsign, "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu."

"Stop trying to underestimate me." The genius Uchiha said.

A ton of fiery dragon flames strike at Itachi's Susanoo, but nothing happens to the Amaterasu Susanoo. Mikoto becomes completely confused by the legendary Uchiha trump card instead of doing any damage to her son's Susanoo.

"Mom, I thought I told you already." an irritated Itachi swings his sword as it cuts his resurrected father's blade in half.

"Mikoto let him do what he has to do." a forced Fugaku said while being forced to use his Susanoo's shield to defend itself, "Damn it!"

Blood begins to leak through his forehead, shoulders, and a little bit in the stomach. Itachi's eyes also begin to burn as his susanoo begins to react the same way. A reanimate Fugaku and reanimated Mikoto charge toward Itachi. Both parents perform hand signs in order to inflict wounds on their son.

"Itachi please stop us." The resurrected parents begged.

"Burnout." A calm Itachi uses his susanoo's sword pierces his blade into his resurrected mother and father as parts of their body deform. He then throws a black shuriken like magatama as his parents get caught within it, "Yasaka Magatama."

Fugaku and his wife Mikoto Uchiha become engulf in their genius son's technique as three tomoe sharingan appear on Itachi's technique. It takes a couple second before the black orb causes an explosion in the sky along with his resurrected parents.

"We're proud of you, Itachi." A confident Fugaku said.

Mikoto smiled at her son, "Take care of Sasuke."

He nods, "Of course."

The pieces from their Edo Tensei Body begins to regenerate, "Now's your chance before the caster controls us again."

"Yes It's finally time to end this." The genius son stabs Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha in the chest as the the gorb appears concealing the them as his susanoo closes the gorb.

Itachi's trump card then fades away as tears fall from his eyes, but he quickly gets rid of them while looking at himself with the blood he received from this fight. A couple seconds later he coughs blood from his mouth before looking back at the shinobi from the second division against the resurrected Shisui Uchiha.

"You guys have to try harder if you wanna defeat me." Itachi's best friend yelled.

One of them says, "We're trying the best we can."

"You're not trying hard enough." He said forcefully as he uses fire style fireball jutsu.

The genius Uchiha says, "Fire Style Fireball Jutsu."

A collision between the two jutsu cancel each other's out, and is replaced by a temporary smokescreen before the two best friends look each other in the eye.

"So you were able to defeat your parents." a controlled Shisui said with a smile, "I can't that I'm surprised Itachi. It's just one of those things to expect from you."

A grins appears on Itachi's face, "Shisui I wish not fight you, but it's best that I do whatever it takes to stop this war before it gets out of hands."

"You're gonna have to try a lot harder Itachi especially in a battle against me." a struggling Shisui said.

The genius Uchiha nodded, "This is gonna feel really nostalgic."

At the Intelligence Base

The blonde Uzumaki sits in his seat as he listens to the conversation between The Kazekage Gaara and The Ameikage Konan. They notice a grin that Inoichi has been keeping for the past ten minutes.

"What is it, Inoichi?" Naruto asks.

The blonde Yamanaka says, "Itachi Uchiha has succeed in defeating his resurrected parents in the second division. The only one left to defeat is his best friend Shisui Uchiha of the Kotoamatsukami."

"Wait a second wasn't Shisui the Uchiha whose genjutsu amongst the other members from the Uchiha Clan?" The blue haired Ameikage asks.

The Hokage nods, "Yes that's true, from what I looked up Shisui's genjutsu is at an even greater level than Itachi's Tsukuyomi."

"Interesting, I wonder how Itachi is gonna manage to pull off against his comrade."

A grin appears on Naruto's face, "I wouldn't underestimate Itachi's skill just yet. He has managed to pull off things in the past prior to this. "

"Damn it! another sighting" A frustrated Inoichi said.

Gaara asks, "What's happened?"

Inoichi doesn't say anything after that. The Hokage, Ameikage, and Kazekage wait patiently for Inoichi to talk. A motionless pause places the sound before his former comrade, Shikaku Nara shoves his shoulders.

Shikaku asks, "Inoichi spill it already."

"Near the canyon where the third division lies." Inoichi stops again.

Naruto yells, "Just say it already."

"It's a long story, but I'll explain what I can remember." Ino's father said.

At The Medical Base

Sakura finishes healing a ninja from the alliance, and passes the towels of blood stains to Matsuri, who uses the bucket of water to squeeze the blood out of the towel. The brunette medical ninja from Konoha is sitting in a seat due to a break in her shift. The reanimated Kakashi sits in the chair across from his teammate, and notices the gloomy expression on her face.

"Something wrong, Rin?" He asks.

She sighs,depressingly, "It's just that seeing you again kinda reminds me of the old days. Remember with Minato sensei and Obito."

Kakashi puts his hand on her shoulder. "Like I said before, you can't blame yourself."

"I know, but it was always my fault why Obito had to die, and it's my fault that I got kidnapped by the mist village. Had I reawaken sooner than I could've prevented your own death as well as Minato Sensei's death too."

Kakashi then realizes something, "This chakra, it feels familiar."

"What do you mean?" The brunette asks.

"The ninja from Iwagakure have been brought back to place. The ones who were responsible for Obito's death." He gripped his hand into a fist, "I'm going after them."

Rin holds onto his hand, "I'm coming with you Kakashi."

He looks surprised, "I would love to, but you need to be here to help heal the wounded from the other divisions, Rin. Besides I don't wanna another one of my comrade die again, I've made that mistake twice, and I don't want to make it again."

"No!" an aggravated Rin gets up from her seat, "I've got a personal score to settle with them now that they've been brought back as part of the edo tensei."


I had something else planned out for the ending before I got the idea of focusing directly on Rin's character aside from the reunion with Kakashi. Yes while Itachi and Shisui are gonna have their battle, It's a creative decision I came up with in order for something big that'll occur later on the Shinobi Bloodbath War Arc. The next chapter will be up sometime tomorrow or saturday, and as always thanks for reading.
