I do not own the anime/manga series Bleach or the naruto character Uchiha Itachi
One sword, one soul…
…
Itachi, Hitsugaya, Matsomoto, Gin and Hinamori sat around a table and drank sake. All of them, having fond memories of Kusaka, had recently buried him. Hitsugaya took Kusaka's death the worst, he blamed himself that he couldn't convince the council of having two shinigamis with the same zampakto. Itachi didn't show any emotional pain, he was used to death.
Itachi looked at Hitsugaya, who looked down at his drink.
"Was he strong?" Hitsugaya looked at Itachi, wondering what he was talking about. "sorry?" Itachi straighten himself up, "when you fought Kusaka, did he fight well? Was he strong?" Hitsugaya looked back down to his drink. " He was to frightened to fight as he used to…" Itachi only nodded, not wanting to push Hitsugaya to far.
"Oh, It's getting late" Said Gin with a yawn, then he looked at Itachi "you mind joining me back to the 5th division? There is something I want to talk about" Itachi only raised himself and took one hand at Hitsugaya's shoulder "I'll see you later". Then Gin and Itachi walked out.
The streets of Seretei
Gin and Itachi walked towards the 5th division, talking about an assassin who had tried to kill the 2nd division's captain and another person who had stopped the assassination.
"So…what do you think about that?" Gin asked while looking at Itachi, with his closed eyes and grin. Itachi shook his head and gave the Uchiha "Hmph" then he answered "What am I suppose to think about that? I don't know… I'm glad that the captain survived" Itachi didn't sound so convincing, about the glad part. "I see…" Then Gin stopped, which made Itachi stop. Gin turned slowly with his smirk. "To be honest, I really think you're the man in the red clouds…" Itachi got serious now. "What makes you think that I am that person?" Gin turned away from Itachi, doing a "I don't know" gesture, "who knows, this world is not big…" Itachi walked past him "hmph"
Entrance of the 5th division
Gin stopped in front of the entrance, he looked like he was thinking about something deeply, then he turned to Itachi, his smirk gone. "What do you think about Kusaka's fate?" Itachi raised a brow, "What do you mean?" Gin raised his head, "What do you think about the council who killed him off?" Itachi closed his eyes, he looked relaxed, "a foolish decision…" Gin smiled "You hate them?" Itachi kept his eyes closed, "hate…I don't hate, I am the one people hate..." Itachi opened his eyes and looked at Gins face, "No, they followed their rules…I can expect nothing more of a council than that" Gin nodded in understanding " Understandable" Then he got a childish voice, "you're such a strange man Itachi-san… what did you do when you were alive?" Itachi shook his head and turned. Without anything else, Itachi left the 5th division.
Itachi walked towards the academy, then he felt pain in his eyes, and he where no longer on the streets, he were in a cathedral.
Cathedral: Altar room
Itachi looked up at the altar, where his zampakto stood with an insane smirk. "Well, I told you… he was weak" Itachi got angry, "why did you bring me in here" his zampakto flew down and landed right in front of Itachi. "to tell you that I told you so…" Itachi turned to leave, but when he turned, his zampakto blocked the way "Itachi…" he took his hand around Itachi's shoulder "Itachi, I don't want a weak wielder" Itachi looked deep into the sharingan of the zampakto, "I am not weak" the reply was a laughter, and the zampkato walked towards the huge colored window, where there was rain and thunder "Look at you!" the zampakto turned fast, pointing at Itachi, " you no longer have what's powering you no more!" Itachi raised his brow, which made his zampakto get angry, "HATE!" Itachi got shocked, "Where is the hate you used on your enemy, where is the emotions I could see you hide inside this desecrated temple! Where is the true Uchiha Itachi!" Itachi took one step backwards "you have started to fight to protect, where is the cold-blooded in you?" Itachi got angry, " I am a pacifist!" The zampakto laughed "And yet you kill!"
Itachi walked slowly up to his zampakto "what are you saying, that I shall kill everyone?" the zampakto shook his head, " when you fight…play with them, make them feel like dirt, and do turn before you have killed them!" Itachi, who was shocked at the moment, shook his own head "this is ridiculous…" His zampakto waited for Itachi to continue, "fine…" the zampakto gave a friendly smile "you see, now we can co-operate" Then Itachi faded away.
Shinigami academy: Itachi's room
Itachi opened his eyes, and found out that he was suddenly in his room. "must have been my zampakto…" Then Itachi thought of how lonely this place were without Hitsugaya or Kusaka. With a sigh, he went to the bathroom and took a shower. After the shower he went to bed, and fell asleep.
The next day
Itachi woken up by the sound of his own zampakto, "yes, I know, I know…" Then the zampakto went quiet. Itachi took his clothes on and went out. Itachi walked to his classroom. When entering he regretted immediately that he did, "ITACHI-KUN!" a lot of girl jumped at him, but he jumped out of the way, so they landed at the floor. Itachi shook his head and went to his seat, but it didn't go better when the girls started to fight over the seat to the side of him. "I want to sit next to Itachi-kun!" "what are you saying, you think he likes you? Haha you fat woman" "I'm thinner than you!" Itachi only sighed, suddenly a special person entered, Urahara Kisuke.
"Hello class, today I will be your substitute teacher, so please sit down" Kisuke started. It ended with that a boy sat next to Itachi. The class went on normally, the only difference from the other classes is that Kisuke always screws up at some point of the lecture. At the end of the lecture Urahara walked towards Itachi, who were about to leave.
"Well, Itachi-san" he started with a smile, "seems like your time is running out. Itachi looked at Kisuke with a bored look, "There is still time" then Itachi walked towards the door, but stopped at the threshold "Don't think you have won yet" Then he left the classroom. Urahara was the only one in the room now, or so he thought.
"You really want to win, don't you Kisuke?" asked a manly voice behind him, Urahara nodded and didn't turn. "I really need to know what that ring of his does, Yoruichi-san…" Urahara feel claws in his ass. "AAAAhhhhhhh!" Urahara fell on the floor, holding his ass in pain, "why?" he looked at the cat form of Yoruichi, who looked pissed. "you knew it was me when I had that voice without even looking!" Urahara let out a nervous laughter. "woops"
….
Shinigamy academy: Itachi's room
Itachi sat on his desk, reading to an exam, which was coming up. He planned on staying in his room the whole time till the exam. He had already bought drinks and something to eat, but there were something that bothered him. "If I am not able to get through this academy, then I'll have to give the ring to Kisuke…" Itachi had have that thought the whole time, not able to relax, he was actually stating to get serious about this bet.
Itachi walked to his refrigerator and took out some water, then he heard a voice.
"Why don't you do what you would do as a ninja?" Itachi sighed at that voice, his zampakto. "what do you mean?" Itachi asked, the reply was a sigh "what did you do in the chunin-exam?" Itachi raised his brow at that reply, "cheated…but that was the whole point of that exam…" Itachi felt suddenly great pain in his eyes, which made him to press his arms against them, the zampakto answered "well, this time you'll have to cheat, and you already have all the information you need to know how to" the pain was gone and he started to think "Information?"
Flashback: Class-room
Everyone in the classroom went crazy when they heard that Hitsugaya Toshiro was already going to leave the academy. Hitsugaya was still asleep, and didn't wake up.
"Hey! Who has the power to know if he's ready to leave so fast!" Asked one random student. The teacher slammed his arms in the table, making everyone to get quiet. "We have to computers who tells us if you are read or not, it might not be the beast technology, but it works !" The teacher walked to a window, pointing towards a building "and there it is!" Kusaka raised his hand, "yes, Kusaka?" asked the teacher, Kusaka wondered: "Who invented it?" The teacher only shook his head.
Flashback: end
Itachi thought if this was a good idea, first of all, if he did manage to do this, he would surly become a shinigami faster than the others, making him the winner of the bet, but if he get caught, he would surely get executed. Second of all, he has never used a computer before, ha have used a television from the village hidden in the thunder, but still…
Itachi walked to his bed and took out the bag under the bed. He opened it and took out his akatsuki cloak. He looked at it while thinking if he should do it. "do it!" Itachi listened to his zampakto "think about it, you're a ninja, they are shinigami, you are a master of stealth, no matter what security they have, you can almost walk through them with your skill!" the zampakto didn't have to say more, Itachi looked at the time "1am…" Itachi took the akatsuki cloak around him and his hat.
Itachi did not however take his zampakto with him, that was for fighting, not stealth. Now he was going to be a ninja, not a shinigami, and strangely, Itachi felt good.
The shinigamy building of technology
It was dark, hard to see people and the only people you could see was the guards and the scientists. In an hallway inside the building, walked two female scientists.
"Thank you for following me to the tech-wing" said the one female gratefully, the other one smiled " no problem, always nice to help a new recruit" the recruit giggled. Then they stood in front of a door, but one had to type in the password. The recruit looked sheepishly on the other female and gave a laughter "they didn't give me the password" the other female only shook her head with a smile and started to type in the password, a lot of numbers, the door opened and the two entered.
Suddenly the two females heard a crow outside of the door they just entered, the recruit turned first "you heard that?" the other female walked to the door, only to get her head smashed in the door from behind, making her fall down unconscious. The recruit sighed and poffed into Itachi in a cloud of smoke. " Infiltration, success…" Itachi took the girl in the shadow, so that no one could see her, then he walked back to the door he entered and opened it, then a crow entered looking at Itachi. The crow flew up to Itachi's shoulder, and he petted it, "good work" it gave a "crraaawww" back, then it flew out of a window Itachi opened for it.
Itachi walked slowly in the hallway, then he stopped, he saw a strange machine on the wall, he could already guess what it was "a machine eye…" Itachi did some hand seals and his index finger got a lot of electricity around it, then he aimed it at the eye, and he got it turned off. Itachi ninja ran, so that no one could hear his footsteps, through the hallway, then he jumped on the wall where there was a lot of shadow. Out of the door under him, a man exited and walked towards the exit, when the door was about to close, Itachi jumped in it with a blinding speed. When the door closed, a lot of light got turned on, but there were no one in the room except him, "Motion lights, machine eyes…what's next?" Itachi walked through the room, where a huge door was, Itachi closed his eyes and started a lot of hand seals, he though of the fight with Sasuke. "I used Sharingan when Sasuke used that technique, so this should work"
After the hand seals, Itachi pressed himself against the door, and suddenly, he were able to press himself through the doors slit of the door "god, this hurts…" when he got through, he fell down to the ground, slowly went to his feet, then he looked at himself, all sticky with some goo "Urgh…" Itachi looked up, and saw something that looked like a huge television, "so that's the computer…"
Itachi walked to it and looked at all the buttons, when he pushed one button, the huge screen lightened up, and it stood "password".
Itachi looked up, "password?..." then he heard the door open behind him, which made him turn slowly. "well, well…what have we here?" Itachi turned slowly, making sure that his face was hidden.
Itachi wasn't even sure if this was a human, he had completely white skin and some purple markings on his face. " I do not know who you are, but you look like an interesting individual" the man took up his zampakto whit a chuckle, "let us see if you can defeat me!"
