Chapter 20:
"I should have seen the resemblance." He said in a normal tone, though in the dead silence of the curious crowed everyone heard. "I never would have thought..." Foot steps echoed into the room, focusing everyones attention to the door. The door flew open and in walked a teenager, much like the others, wearing a black cloak like his, apparent, comrades.
"Sorry I'm late. I wanted a barrier up to prevent anyone from getting in or out."
Itachi didn't need turn around. He sighed, it was just like Sasuke to go do something else completely against the orders Sasuke himself gave out. Deidara tickmaked, he bore holes into Sasuke with his heated glare. Sasori staried at Sasuke and then turned away shaking his head. Rei blinked confused.
'What the hell?' She thought as Sasuke walked over to them. She gave him a questioning glance but Sasuke shrugged it off. He walked to the front of the group and staired up into the hokages tower. He looked past the leaf villages Hokage and looked straight in to Orochimaru, disguised as the Sand hokage's, face. Sasuke watch with sharp eyes as Orochimaru flinched. He smirked, 'Good...he recgonizes all of us...' Sasuke looked at Rei and then back to Orochimaru to see if he noticed. Unforutanetly he couldn't. Orochimaru's eyes didn't seemed focused on either one of them. Sasuke glanced at Itachi noding his head. "The villagers move take them down...Rei, come." Sasuke ordered. The others nodded lightly.
Sasuke walked forward towards the Hokages stand. Rei tralled behind him. She sent one nervose glance up to Orochimaru and then covered it up with a determined, yet shakey, look. Sasuke noticed this. He slowed his pace and walked beside Rei. Sasuke caught her eye and gave her an encouraging smirk. Rei bit her lip regaining her composure. She could do this. Sasuke took in a deep breath stoping their walk meeters from the tower.
'So far everything is going according to plan. The only thing that didn't happen was Gaara's transformation. Orochimaru must have been waiting for something else, but too bad for him things are still in our favor.' Sasuke thought. He staired up in to Orochimaru's eyes. The Hokage was still holding the anbu and jounin back with his hand as their signal.
"Why...Are you really Sasuke Uchiha?" The hokage asked. Sasuke didn't remove his eyes from Orochimaru.
"That I am." He said. "Why I have returned with my Trader of a brother you needent know. All I ask of you is to step asside and allow us to that Hokage beside you." Sasuke said. He glanced at the elete ninja around them. "Also they will be held back? That would be most appreciated." Sasuke finnished. The hokage looked down at him genually shocked.
"You're asking for premission to kill a Kage?!" The hokage exclaimed. Sasuke sighed. Well, he tried to keep this clean...
"Fine then have it your way." Sasuke turned to Itachi. "Itachi, take over on the outside. Rei and I will handle here." Sasuke sad refering to his early plan. The sand hokage looked at Rei narrowing his eyes.
"Rei, you Trader." He hissesd. Rei smirked, seeing his rage in being betraied fed her ego. It felt good to make the man she hated feel horrible. Sasuke smirked next to her.
"Orochimaru..." Sasuke started slyly. "It's been a while." he said. The hokage gasped looking to the 'Sand hokage' next to him. Sandame lowered his hand knowing the guards would not attack unless told to or necessary. "Sandame-sama." Sasuke called. The hokage kept his eyes locked on Orochimaru but listened intently to Sasuke. "As I said earlier I am not here for you or any other kage. I'm here for the low-life Orochimaru." Sasuke said, "Please step aside and allow Rei and I to finish our work."
Itachi watched thinking up what might have been going threw Sasuke's head. He had a general idea of what might happen but past experiences with his brother has proven that his plans can turn quite unprotictable and sometimes miss areas. That was already proven when Orochimatu didn't attack during Neji and Sasori's fight.
'Okay i'm assuming that Orochimaru wasn't attacking because he was suspicious of Sasori and Deidara. I doubt he realized Sasuke and I were here. I'm sure Sasuke realized this too. He was surprised to see Rei on our side aswell. And if i'm not mistaken he was quite angery as well when he found out, I wonder why?' Itachi looked at them closer thinking. 'So...If Sasuke is asking for premission then the hokage will hold off his troups, so that means we don't fight the leaf but the Sound and sand ninja out side. But the barrier he put up stops them from getting in and anyone in here from getting out...' Itachi looked at the stands noticing an overly large amount of anbu. 'I see now. Sasuke was never talking about the Konoha or the enemies out side. He meant the ones inside. And as for Sasori and Deidara, Sasuke doesn't want them to fight Gaara,he wants them to stop him form transforming at all!'
Orochimaru hissed in anger. "How dare you!" Orochimaru screeched kicking off the hokage podium and diving for Sasuke and Rei.
"Right!" Sasuke exclaimed to Rei as he jumped left. Rei pushed off to the right. Orochimaru crashed in to the ground. The earth spraied out, rocks flying. The snake sannin ran out lashing at Sasuke. The jounin surrounding them reacted by whipping out kunnai and starting to run.
"NO!" The hokage exclaimed holding his hand up. "Do not interfear!" He commanded. The jounin stoped looking weary. Sasuke smirked. 'Smart move old man.'
Rei ran from behind towards Orochimaru. The sound allies began to move trying to intrude, helping their leader. Itachi moved blocking their way. "Sasori, Deidara move now!" Itachi commanded. Deidara smirked.
"Don't have to tell me twice, yeah!" Deidara exclaimed. He whipped the clay out of his bag and threw it. A giant clay bird ememerged. Deidara jumped on his bird flying above the stadium. The shield Sasuke had created was quite wide, large enough for Deidara to fly freely but restricted his bombing abilities. Sasori moved in to action running the same way Deidara went only by ground. He jumped in to the stand where Gaara and Temari and Kankaroo stood about to join the fight. Kankaroo started to unhook Karasu. Sasori smirked.
"You're honeslty planing to use a puppet against me?" Sasori asked amused.
Itachi took out a quarter of the sound and penetrating sand ninja. First those who dared to attempt aiding Orochimaru and then moving on to those filling in to their spots. "Hn." A sound ninja just attempted to take him out with some sound waves. Itachi moved behind the ninja decapating him. He landed on the ground and looked at the others. Sasori had Kankaroo tied up with his own puppet, the Karasu, and was now taking on Temari. Deidara was dealing with Gaara tiring him with his bombs. If they were lucky he wouldn't lose control and go into his deamon state.
Sasuke backflipped doging a Snake Orochimaru summoned. He spun driving a kunai in to the skull of a snake attempting to take a large bite out of him from behind. He tossed the snake asside. "Rei?" Sasuke called noticing the absence of his female teammate. He heard a shreak and spun back around to face Orochimaru. Rei nelt on the ground pinned by a snake biting in to her ankle. She clutched her arms bending low groaning in pain as the black markings on her skin burned red. Orochimaru looked at her in disgust.
"You dirty little trader!" He exclaimed. "I'll kill you for betraying me!" Orochimaru's rage was growing out of control. Sasuke cursed running towards Orochimaru. He reached into his Akatsuki cloak and drew his sword, the kusangi. Orochimaru completed some handseals, "Shuriken no jutsu!" He yelled sending them towards Sasuke. Sasuke jumped back doging the flying projectiles.
Itachi looked back after choping one guy in half. He glared as Orochimaru tried to kill his little brother with suck a pitiful attack. "...You under estimte us." Itachi commented quietly to himself. Itachi activated his sharingan and glanced around the room. Ten more. Itachi set off quickly set on finishing the last of their victums.
Naruto stirred in the stands. He groaned sitting up. His neck throbed along with most of his other body parts. He stood rubbing his head. Looking around from the back of the room he spoted Kakashi standing against the railing looking anxiously around the room. Curious Naruto walked forward towards his sensei.
Before he could even get close warm, sticky liquid splashed his back. Naruto frose recgonizing the metalic iron smell. Blood. Naruto forgot to breath as he turned to come face to face with the tip of a very sharp, very blood stained blade. What scared him though wasnt the sword in his face it was the body it cut threw that lay at his feet. Naruto trembled backing away from the blood stained corps. At the sound of metal and leather Naruto snapped his head up.
Before him stood a man. Early twenties. Vaugly familar. Naruto stood before him, a dull expression on his face as he stair in to the others eyes. He knew he had met this man before. Without thinking he said the first thing that poped in to his head. He knew it was wrong. He knew he was stupi for saying it but he did anyway. Mabye it was from all the shock he's been recieving and the very obvious similarities between the two. Whatever the reason he cursed himself for blurting out, "Sasuke?" in the mans face.
He noticed the mans eyebrows shoot up at the meantion of Sasuke's name. The man pointed, raising his arm from the inside of his black red cloud cloak, over the railing towards the hokage podium. "Sasuke's over there. I am Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's elder brother." Itachi said politely. Naruto blinked.
"U...chiha?" Naruto muttered out. "But...aren't they...all dead?" Itachi shook his head.
"Do I look dead?" Itachi asked. Naruto shook his head, 'no'. Itachi smirked. "Sasuke isn't dead either..." Itachi said. Naruto blinked.
"Sasuke's an..Uchiha?" Naruto asked. Itachi refrained from smacking himself.
"I said he was my brother, didn't I?" Naruto nodded dumbly. A loud bang from the stadium brought him out of his stupid state. Naruto let out a yell as another explosion went off shaking the stadium. Kakashi heard the yell and spun around. Instantly seeing Itachi so close to Naruto set him off.
"Get away from him!" Kakashi yelled runing at Itachi. Itachi moved effortlessly out of the way. Naruto looked at Kakashi shocked.
"Wait wait!" Naruto called. "I'm confused. Whats going on? Why is everyone fighting?" Naruto asked. Kakashi glared at Itachi.
"Don't go near him Naruto. He's an S-ranked criminal along with his brother." Kakashi said. Naruto gasped.
"But...they saved us!" Naruto said. Kakashi scoffed.
"Yeah they saved us because that was our mission. I can't believe I neglected all the signs that pointed to who Sasuke really was." Kakashi said sickened. "Sasuke is in the Akatsuki, Naruto. Itachi-senpai would you like to tell him what that is?" Kakashi asked angerly. Itachi looked at them emotionlessly.
"By all means Kakashi, tell the boy all you know." Itachi said. "It won't effect us any."
Okay...Yeah sorry It took so long. The planing took a while. The next chapter, which is the last one for this fight, might take a while to write. I have school, reading, stress, a life, and lazyness issues to get over. But don't worry I write best when I feel the urge to write like today!
Tell me what you think of this chapter! FIVE reviews for the next one. Now I am going to work on Sasuke...did she just call you...DADDY? and parts of the next chapter for this story!
