Ok... This has been a very long time coming but I completely forgot I was posting on here as well until like 30 minutes ago... -sweatdrop- sorry guys! Please don't kill me!

On the bright side...

You're getting 9 chapters in one go o.O

So...

Enjoy :D

Disclaimer: So. I'm in prison again. I thought it would be a good idea to invite Kishimoto over and lock him in the basement until he gave me Itachi. Apparently, he was prepared for this...

The scene around them shifted. If Itachi noticed, he didn't say anything as they moved from the underground cave systems to the ravine underneath the starry night sky some miles away.

'What do you mean?'

That voice gave Itachi pause and he glanced around them for the source of it. Daisuke smirked, watching the delightful transition of anger to confusion cross the ravens face. The conversation continued behind him and, although he knew he should use the distraction to get out, he couldn't resist seeing the result.

'I don't understand what's confusing. You want the Uzumaki child. I can give him to you. To do with as you please.'

'What is this?' Itachi growled, rounding on his captive. 'Stop fucking with my head, Namikawa.'

'I just figured if we were going to reminisce together, then we should at least see everything.'

Behind them, the disturbing conversation continued. 'I'm listening...'

'Keep the Konoha teams off my back and I'll let you have Uzumaki anytime you want.'

The only sounds that broke the near silence was the wind rushing over the valley and Itachis heavy, angry breathing as he watched his younger brother seriously consider this twisted offer. Pure horror crossed his face as Sasuke nodded after a long pause.

'Alright.' Sasuke said quietly, helping Namikawa up and back into safety. 'Alright. I'm in.'

'LIAR!' Itachi bellowed, spinning around and slamming his kunai into Daisuke's stomach. The large man gasped at the sudden explosion of pain. 'My brother is foolish but he would NEVER do that to a friend!'

Daisuke smirked. 'Why do think Naruto reacted so badly to Sasuke kissing him? I can't take all the credit. Sasuke was there, too. Every time he had the chance to get away. He was there.'

'Stop. LYING!'

Daisuke chuckled, grimacing through the pain in his stomach. 'Who says I'm lying?'

Itachi hesitated. The sincerity in Daisuke's voice wasn't something he could ignore; no matter whom it was coming from. Doubt flashed quickly across the ravens eyes and the scene around them became hazy. Itachi shook off the distraction and tried to reign the jutsu back.

But it was too late.

The surge of chakra from his outburst was enough to disrupt the jutsu and Daisuke smirked, looking quite the devilish sight with blood dribbling from the corners of his mouth. He once more felt the tug of his real body and let it reel him in.

'Why don't you ask little Naruto?'

Returning to his real body from a genjutsu always felt like his was waking up from a bad dream and Daisuke didn't think he would ever get used to that feeling. He was still shaking off the distortion as a foot came flying at his head and he couldn't dodge it. It connected heavily and knocked him straight off his feet. He landed with a dull thud and struggled to right himself before a very pissed off Itachi landed on his stomach and began pummelling him.

'YOU FUCKING BASTARD!' The raven screamed, landing punch after punch on Daisuke's jaw, breaking it quickly. 'HOW DARE YOU ACT LIKE MY LITTLE BROTHER IS ANYTHING LIKE YOU, YOU SICK FUCK!'

With tremendous effort, Daisuke pushed the Uchiha off of him and clamoured clumsily to his feet. Itachi mimicked his actions and the pair circled each other, both waiting for an opening in the others defence.

'Why don you ask naru'o for yourself?' The words sounded garbled and strange as they twisted themselves from Daisuke's mouth. The large man tried to smirk but it was too painful and he settled for backing off slightly, waiting for his chance to retreat. Itachi followed him.

'I don't need to. I know my brother wouldn't do that.' The raven growled, bringing his hands up and quickly flashing through some hand signs.

'Katon; Fireball Jutsu!'

Daisuke narrowly dodge the inferno that raced towards him, loosing three kunai as he moved. The first two missed his target completely and he cursed. The third hit its mark, embedding itself in Itachis right arm. The Uchiha didn't batter an eye, pulling the kunai free and sending it straight back at the large man, several of his own following. Daisuke dodge his own and two others, caught the forth and the fifth, the sixth and final kunai tearing through his leg. He growled and raced off to the side, sending those two kunai back to Itachi and chasing after them.

The anbu dodged both kunai and allowed the large mass of a man to barrel into him, knocking them both to the ground. Daisuke used his weight to his advantage and straddled the ravens hips, mimicking Itachis earlier movements and slamming his fist into Itachis face several times. The Uchiha's nose broke with a sickening pop and blood spurted out, dribbling down his face and into his mouth. Daisuke tried - and failed - to smirk again and wrapped his fat fingers around the Uchiha's throat.

Itachi clawed at the chubby hands, trying desperately to tear them from his throat as he began to choke. Daisuke pressed harder, almost completely cutting off the ravens air supply.

'Get off him, you bastard!'

The body that belonged to that voice slammed into the large man and Daisuke rolled away, springing to his feet and facing his new enemy. Kakashi glared at him, his sharingan spinning dangerously as he watched his target carefully. Behind him, Itachi gulped in air and pushed himself into an upright position. Kushina and Minato were by his side, the red headed woman fussing over his injuries while the blonde watched his student stalk his prey.

No words were passed between the two and the fight started so suddenly, you would have missed it if you blinked. Kakashi relied on his physical fitness, using his strength to take his enemy down by first aiming a clean roundhouse at the large mans head. If Daisuke's jaw wasn't already broken, it would be now; the crack bounced off the surrounding trees, making it sound louder than it perhaps was.

Daisuke stumbled backwards but he wasn't a man to stay down for long. He righted himself quickly and shot forwards, aiming a punch for the jounins stomach. Kakashi blocked the blow and came back with a punch of his own, catching Daisuke in the side of his head. The large man stumbled and used the force of his fall to drop back, skidding to a halt some feet away.

Kakashi didn't give him a chance to right himself. He launched himself at the large man, sweeping Daisuke's feet out from under him. Daisuke landed in an undignified heap on the floor and the silver haired jounin was on him before he had the chance to register his fall. A knee landed in Daisuke's groin and he groaned, using his waning strength to remove the jounin.

'Suiton; Water Dragon Jutsu!'

A blast of water blasted Kakashi off the large mans lap and Daisuke scrambled to his feet. He turned tail and fled, hobbling and tripping over the tree roots and crashing into a dying bush. He his there, dropping his chakra signature as low as he could, ducking his head as the jounin came thundering passed.

He waited.

Thirty seconds ticked by. Then a minute. And two.

He couldn't hear anyone around him. He couldn't sense any chakra nearby. He daren't look up for fear he was spotted.

I'll have to wait here. He decided. Replenish some of my strength and disappear when the coast is clear.

He begun to dig into the ground in front of him, planning to bury himself until it was safe. Every minute or so, he would glance up, feeling slightly braver now, and check he was still alone before continuing to dig. Slowly, as the sounds of fighting died down and the sun began to peak over the horizon, the wildlife reemerged from their hiding places.

A squirrel ran across the ground in front of him, stopping and watching what he was doing before scurrying off again. A crow screeched a wake up call in the distance and two owls called to one another from either side of him.

Another crow - or perhaps it was the same one - landed on the ground directly in front of him. If Daisuke had been paying more attention, he probably would have said the crow was staying at him. But he continued his digging.

The hole he'd created was only just big enough to fit his large torso in when it happened. The crow that had been watching him so carefully flew at his face. He let out an almighty screech and pushed himself clumsily to his feet, swatting desperately at the bird. It squawked jauntily at him and disappeared in a puff of chakra smoke as a foot landed squarely in the large mans back, sending him crashing forwards.

The hole he'd created was only just big enough to squeeze his large torso in when it happened; the crow that had been watching him so intently flew at his face. Daisuke let out an almighty screech and pushed himself clumsily to his feet, swatting desperately at the bird. It squawked indignantly at him and disappeared in a puff of chakra smoke as a foot landed squarely in the large mans back, sending him crashing forwards.

He righted himself with the force of the fall, tumbling into a neat roll and straightening quickly, looking around for his assailant. A flash of red stormed towards him and Uzumaki Kushina crashed into him before he could blink. The two of them tumbled to the ground, with her on top of him. She screamed something unintelligible at him and began clawing at his face, nails breaking skin repeatedly.

He hooked a leg around hers and flipped them over, his weight pinning her to the ground. He trapped her hands with just one of his and backhanded her with the other, the sound thundering in the early morning sky. She gasped and tried to angle her knee towards his groin, his chubby thighs blocking all other movement.

Hands grabbed him from behind and dragged him off of her, throwing him away from the petite woman. Daisuke scrambled to his feet and only barely managed to block the kick aimed at his head. He grabbed at that leg and used his weight to swing the attached body around, flinging Minato away from him.

Kushina charged again, throwing a chakra infused punch at the large man, catching him in the gut. Daisuke choked, coughing up blood and bile, before backhanding the woman again. He grabbed her hair as it whipped passed and pulled her to him, quickly removing a kunai from his pouch at the same time.

Itachi charged at him from out of no where but his assault stopped short as that blade grazed Kushina's throat. He growled, gaze darting up to meet Daisuke's.

'Let her go.' He ordered, voice low and menacing.

Daisuke chuckled. 'Why? I was only going to send her to see her son.'

'Itachi told you to let her go.' Minato's voice was right in Daisuke's ear and it took all the will power he had not to jump. 'I'd suggest you listened to him.'

'Why would I do that?' Daisuke sneered, pressed the blade closer to the woman's throat.

The point of a kunai pressed gently against Daisuke's back, running the length of his spine from bottom to top. He shuddered involuntarily and moved his weapon away from her throat.

'Good.' Minato muttered. 'Now, drop it and let her go.'

Daisuke smirked and raised his hand, as if he were about to release the kunai. He then slammed his elbow backwards, feeling the blonds nose break instantly. Minato spluttered and fell away from the large man. Daisuke span around and slammed his foot into the blonds stomach, Kushina swinging around with him by her hair.

Itachi used the distraction and rushed in, weapon held loosely at his side. He tightened his grip as he reached his target and raised his hand, repositioning the blade. With a strangled cry, he slammed the blade into the large mans shoulder, twisting it for good measure. Daisuke screamed, releasing Kushina's hair and bringing his fist round, catching the raven's cheek sharply and knocking him away.

With a sickening sound, Daisuke pulled the kunai free from his shoulder and threw it in Itachi's direction. He didn't check to see if he hit his mark; he was running out of time. Two of his enemies were down - if only temporarily - one was still fighting, the forth was no where to be seen. He had to finish this. He rounded on the redhead.

Kushina had, without really thinking about what she was doing, moved to her husbands side. Minato was holding his nose, blood pouring out from underneath his hand. He didn't have the chance to warn his wife; the large man was on them before they knew it. Daisuke grabbed the woman by her hair once more and dragged her away, kicking and screaming, from her husband.

He pulled Kushina to her feet and whipped his hand around her face once more. She gasped and pulled her hand back, curling it into a ball. She slammed it into his gut, reeling it back for a second hit. Daisuke composed himself quickly and brought his knee up quickly and sharply into her stomach. Kushina doubled over in pain and brought his knee up again, crashing it into her chin.

She practically flew backwards, landing with a dull thud somewhere in the bushes. Daisuke didn't check to see if she was still conscious; there wasn't time. He had to get out of there and he had to get out of there now. He turned to flee and -

'Doton; Mud Wall!'

Four solid walls blocked off all of his escape routes and he cursed.

'Katon; Fireball Jutsu!'

'Suiton; Water Dragon Jutsu!' Daisuke wasn't going down easily.

His Water Dragon doused the flames Itachi threw at him and he looked for another means of escape. The walls around him were crumbling but it was no use; he only had strength enough to run and no way out.

He dodged the falling rubble and turned, his intention to push his way through. Itachi charged towards him, coming through the rubble almost like he had a shield around him. Daisuke aimed a sharp kick at Itachi's stomach, hitting his target square on. The raven fell away and Daisuke spun. He could see his escape. Could practically taste freedom. He darted forwards -

Pain exploded in his chest and it was like the sound had been cut off from the world. He couldn't hear anything. And then, distantly, he could hear birds. A thousand birds screeching and screaming, the sound getting louder and louder with each passing second until it was practically swamping him.

Blood bubbled up his throat, spilling down his chin without his realising it. His gaze tumbled downwards, landing on the bloody hand protruding from his chest.

Masked lips were at his ear, the voice pitched low. 'That was for Naruto, you sick son of a bitch.'

And there we have it. Yay new chapter \o/ I've nothing witty to say today so I'll just leave y'all with it and go work on the next chapter ^.^

Enjoy guys ;3
