Akatsukivs. theNewOrganization

My bad last chapter. I kept on calling susanoo, tsusanoo, getting it confused with tsukuyomi.

_start_

The fox eyed Itachi from top to bottom. He had to stand at a considerably larger distance than Pein. His hekuyomi and sharingan diamond were probably very intimidating and the susanoo probably made him seem more of a threat. It growled and slowly swung its paw at him, sending out a large blast of air. It hit the diamond in front of Itachi and vanished without the slightest resistance. It snarled louder and took a menacing step. Itachi prepared himself as the creature took two more steps.

Finally tired of giving warnings the beast opened its mouth again and this time shot a huge red ball of chakra at him. Itachi threw his hands up as the ball made contact with the diamond. His arms shook for a moment but the balls movement stopped. Itachi picked it up with his susanoo and crushed it in the red monsters hand. "Amatarasu" Itachi said as the familiar stinging sensation filled his eyes. The fox jumped away from the blast and prepared to retaliate, but was stopped as the flames followed it across the ground. As it continued to evade the flames split into two and swirled upwards around each other and into the air, narrowly missing the nine tails as it jumped away from where the flames had previously been.

Sasuke watched the battle begin and was amazed by his brothers skill. The flames of amatarasu had never seemed so controlled before, for anyone he had seen using them. They almost seemed to be dancing around the battlefield with the discipline of a professional. As this happened his brother made several hand signs and a purple flame swirled from his eye. As the black flames continued their pursuit the purple flames shot forth and incredible speeds and hit the fox. It yelled and, in a fit of rage, lunged at Itachi. His eyes widened and the flames went out. He gripped his hands, as if he were holding a sword and shield and began moving his susanoo.

He pushed the diamond onto the front of the shield to reinforce it as he blocked the demons claws. He swung his mighty sword at it, but the nimble fox easily outmaneuvered him. The battle continued like this until the fox jumped back. It puffed out its chest and shot three large balls of chakra which exploded as they hit Itachis giant shield. With each hit Itachis arm shook and the susanoo was forced backwards slightly, a detail the fox didnt fail to notice. It fired volley after volley of chakra balls each more powerful than the last. With each hit the susanoo backed up more and more. As large gash appeared on Itachis shield arm. As it began to bleed profusely he grunted in pain and did several hand signs. "Fire style: Phoenix Flower jutsu" he yelled.

The susanoo dropped its sword for a moment and put it fingers together as Itachi took a large breath. Massive fireballs shot at the demon, like a machine gun. For a moment the attacks matched up, with the fireballs hitting the chakra orbs and blowing each other up. But as Itachi shot quicker eventually the fox was forced to dodge. As it jumped out of the way Itachi fired continuously. Finally the demon could no longer dodge and simply threw its tails in front of it, blocking all the fireballs easily. Itachi eventually ceased his attack. He began to breath heavier.

The fox pointed its tails straight forward and, using them like spears, lunged at Itachi. He transferred some of his chakra to his feet and dashed forward with his shield up. The two clashed again and chakra began swirling around the tails like drills. An ear piercing sound that resembled cutting metal rang out. Itachis arm began to shake violently and bleed more, but he ignored it and started bringing his sword down across the foxes body again and again. Due to the large amount of chakra enveloping the beast, the sword could not pierce its skin. It ended up looking like Itachi was attempting to beat the fox with a stick, which was about how useful the Totsuka blade was in this situation.

The fox began to drill harder until finally it gave up and threw its tails to the side, sling the shield out of the way. It opened its mouth and with a mighty roar shot a black beam of chakra, identical to the one it shot at Pein. The blast hit Itachis susanoo and it began to tremble and crack. He quickly moved the sharigan diamond off of his shield, through the susanoos arm, and down to where the beam was making contact. The diamond lifted off of the susanoo and pushed he beam back slightly. It began to shake, holding off the great blast, but it kept it from further damaging his susanoo. Itachis eye began to bleed slightly as the diamond began to spin quickly, shooting black and a red charka beam from each of the sharigans. The demon let out a loud yelp and stopped its attack, jumping several yards away.

Itachi stopped his own attack at the diamond slowed to a halt. "Nolena, see if you can hold it off while I repair my susanoo" he called. Nolena nodded and jumped in front of him. Itachi did a handsign and the cracks on his susanoo began to glow as they slowly grew smaller. Nolena snapped her fingers and whispered and incantation as a massive wall of fire rose and shot directly at the fox. It quickly jumped over it, but was stopped by a giant beam of light from above. It dodged that as well and began to run around, as the light followed it, burning everything it touched. Nolena kept this up, summoning a wall of stone in front of her every time the fox was in striking distance of her. She couldnt keep this up long though and the fox still showed no signs of tiring in the slightest. Not to mention the fact that there was no way she could block if this monster got an opportunity to attack.

She held up for a few minutes but eventually, the high level spells had her feeling drained and she was no longer able to keep up with the demons reflexes. Just as it prepared to lunge at her, black flames appeared under it and exploded upwards, throwing it into the air and back towards the treeline. It crashed into a tree, snapping it in half on impact. Tobi appeared beside Nolena, his bakuyomi visible on his eye through his mask. As he did, she dropped to her knees. "I finished moving our stuff, Tobi suggests we leave" he said. Just as he said this the fox stood up and roared with anger. The seal on Narutos stomach faded slightly as red chakra began enveloping the creature. Nolenas eyes widened. "We cant now" she said "the seal is too weak. If we leave the fox could be fully released."

"Not our problem" Itachi said, motioning towards the leaf shinobi. Nolena shook her head. "No" she said "its not that simple. If that things loose then well have to hunt it down and take it head on to capture it. Id much rather fight the blond over this thing at full power." Itachi sighed as he realised she had a point. He quickly finished his repairs and walked next to Tobi and Nolena. Tobi shook his head and said "trakuyomi." His eye transformed the exact same way as Itachis except his eye turned green. "Susanoo" he mumbled as giant black suit of armor, cut off at the waist, surrounded him. Nolena stepped back, feeling slightly inferior between these two massive monsters. "Will it be enough" she asked. "I dont know" Itachi replied "that thing is at half its full strength and climbing quickly."

Meanwhile Sasuke overheard the whole conversation. "You, woman" he called to Nolena "come protect my comrades." Nolena looked at him, insulted but noticed his susanoo and realised his plan. She reluctantly complied as he walked towards his fellow Uchiha, finally coming to a stop beside Itachi. Itachi looked to the sides, Tobi standing on his right, and Sasuke to the left. "Trakuyomi" he said. Again, his eye transformed the same as Tobi and Itachis did, the only difference being his turned purple. His susanoo immediately repairing itself. "Kakashi sensei why dont you help" Sakura asked. "I cant Sakura" he said "I cant perform the susanoo, and because im not of Uchiha blood, I cant attain trakuyomi." "But I thought you could" Sakura replied. "Well let me put it this way" he said "I could but the trauma it would cause to my one sharingan eye would be irreversable. If I survived, I would never see from that eye again therefore, even the most basic sharingan would be useless. Secondly, the only way it would be usable is if someone were to take it from my dead body, similar to what Madara Uchiha did. And lastly, because im not Uchiha, the act of using trakuyomi would poison my blood and I would die. Theres a reason only the Uchiha are born with the sharingan, its higher stages use a poison to increase chakra that only thier blood is partially immune to. Its the same poison that gave Itachi his blood disease. As far as my strenght goes im afraid that Ive met both my natural, and unnatural limits. This is as strong as Ill ever be."

As he finished, Sakura turned her attention back to the battle. The same thought passed through everyones mind. These three were the last of the Uchiha. Here stood the three strongest, the clan ever had to offer. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the three people at the epitome of the sharingan work together. The stood side by side, facing the fox, who was now almost at full strength. The only thing keeping it from being fully released was probably Narutos willpower. As it grew from the amount of chakra it gained, it eventually loomed over the three. As it started to advance on them the each prepared themselves.

Finally it dashed forward. "Peripheral blaze" Sasuke yelled as two walls of blue fire shot out of the sides of his susanoo. The fox leapt into the air as the fire reached it and shot upwards after it. "Distortion stare" Tobi yelled as a black hole appeared under the beast, quickly pulling it down to the ground. "Lightning glance" Itachi shouted as red and black lightning swirled out from his pupil, striking the fox at the same time as Sasukes fire. It flinched slightly but only seemed to get angrier as the attacks ran their course and died away. It opened its mouth and shot three massive balls of fire at them. They quickly dodged the humongous flames and simultaneously shouted "amatarasu." Black flames erupted from behind each susanoo, shooting them forward like rockets. The three of them circled around the fox each shooting massive balls of black flames. It blocked most of them with its tails, flinching slightly, while shooting massive red chakra beams at the Uchiha. With each hit, the fox would stagger slightly.

Sasuke was hit and knocked back slightly. The fox saw the opportunity and whipped him relentlessly with its tails, letting out small yelps as the other two Uchiha stopped and hit it with a non-stop barrage of black fire balls. Finally Sasukes susanoo shattered and he was smashed to the side, sliding across the ground into the woods, toppling several trees. The fox turned and lunged at Itachi, who used his sharingan diamond to block its gigantic paw. Tobi jumped into the air above the demon and yelled "blue amaratsu bomb." A massive wall of black fire fell directly on top of the fox, pushing it down to the point that its chest nearly touched the ground, while clouds started to amass in the sky. Huge lightning bolts began to steadily crash across its back as it screeched in pain, thrashing about as if finally felt their efforts. Sasuke staggered out of the woods at this point, and started to watch, as the other two Uchiha attempted to finish the battle.

It opened it gaping maw and one final, full power chakra beam shot at Itachi, who was 20 ft. directly ahead of it. His eyes widened. He screamed in pain as his susanoo was quickly pulled back into his eye. The sharingan diamond shrank down and moved directly in front of his eyes. He let out a small line of purple and black flames. As it crossed through the diamond it grew to an immense size and hit the chakra beam. The flames slowed the beams progress, but it slowly started to inch closer. The two jutsus clashed and flames were thrown everywhere. The beam slowly started to lose power as it was mere inches from Itachis face. He screamed louder as his eyes began to gush blood, two small streams spurting from the sides of his eye for a moment. The backlash of his visual jutsu blew towards him quickly tearing apart his cloak and putting several tears in his shirt and pants. As the beam finally died down the flames quickly slammed into the fox and it roared one final time as it was sucked back into Naruto and the seal was replaced.

Tobi dropped to the ground and deactivated his sharingan. He turned to Itachi but his eyes widened at what he saw. Itachi stood there for a moment, teeth clenched, not breathing, blood drenching every part of his face below his eyes. His eyes went back to normal and then turned completely red. He then fell to his hands and knees and put his hand over one of them. He gave a large gasp and screamed at the top of his lungs. It was so long and loud it was a wonder his vocal chords didnt tear. He threw his head back and screamed again, seemingly louder. Tobi and Nolena rushed over as he let out another blood curdling scream. As they got there he Nolena grabbed him and sat down pulling him into her lap. Tobi ran over and took off his mask. As he looked into Itachis eyes they slowly faded back to normal.

The leaf ninja ran over to their hokage and crowded around him. Sasuke stayed where he was and watched Itachi. An emotion he couldnt quite describe overtook him as he watched his horrible brother writhe in agony. Itachi looked at Tobis face. It was just one big blur. He began breathing in huge gasps before coughing up large amounts of blood. "Itachi, Itachi look at me" Nolena yelled. He looked around for a few moments before finding a blur that he guessed was Nolena. "Speak to me god damn it" she yelled again. He tried to talk but all that came out was more blood. "Damn it were losing him, Tobi go get what left of the first aid kit in the infirmary" she commanded. He nodded and disappeared as Sasuke ran over. "What the hells going on" Sasuke asked. "Im guessing its his blood. I think he overdid it with his sharingan" she replied. She looked back down to Itachi before calmly asking him "Itachi, sweety, where did you put your medicine? I know you kept a couple of doses nearby at all times, where are they." He coughed up more blood before giving up and throwing up his hands.

He started to move his hands around in the shape of a square. "Okay a box, a box where" she asked. He pointed at him and then at her. She looked at him for a moment before catching on. "The box you keep in your nightstand, in our room" she exclaimed. He coughed more blood and nodded. Nolena pressed the microphone on the collar of her cloak "Tobi got to Itachis room, and grab the black box from his nightstand." A moment later he appeared with the box and a small box of medical supplies. She pulled out three needles and opened the small box. There were two rows each containing three small bottles. She grabbed one and filled a needle with its contents. She grabbed one from the second row and gave it to Itachi. He grabbed it and tried his best to stop coughing long enough to drink it. Nolena injected him with the antidote. Then she grabbed another bottle from the medical box and filled another needle up. "Sasuke I need you to hold him down" she said. He looked at her confused, but did as she asked and gripped his brother by the shoulders tightly.

She jammed the needle into his chest directly over his heart and pushed the plunger. Then she lifted it up and down to mix it in his blood. She made a spark on her finger and touched it to the needle, shocking his heart into beating faster. He started to shake violently and Sasuke struggled to hold him, but ultimately kept him still. Finally she took the last needle and stuck it into her arm. She drew her own divine blood and stuck the needle into Itachis arm and transferring it. She did this three times and then did it one time in the heart. He slowly looked at Sasuke and reached his arm up to him. He touched Sasukes cheek, then his arm dropped to the ground. Sasuke almost broke into tears as his chest stopped rising. He looked at Nolena who was looking back and forth between Itachi and the little timer she pulled out of the medical box. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon" she said. "Hes dead" Sasuke said flatly. "Yes, but my blood will bring him back if he can just power through this for a second" she said. Sasuke raised his eyebrow. "Okay look" she said "im not going into details, but I was once a goddess. My blood is still divine even though ive been excomunicated. I injected him with it as he died. He has around one minute after hes dead to use what little chakra he kept to push the blood through his circulatory system before its tainted by his mortal blood. If hes strong enough hell start breathing again."

Sasuke looked back at Itachi. Kakashi walked over with Sakura and Jiraya. "C'mon, please c'mon Itachi, dont you fucking do this to me" Nolena said. She looked at the timer again and her eyes dropped. She shook her head and stood up. Sasuke looked up at her and then back to Itachi. "Thats it" he asked. She solemnly shook her head. "NO" Sasuke screamed as he started to shake Itachi. Emotions he had repressed began to fill him. "NO, NO, NO. YOU LISTEN HERE YOU BASTARD! I CANT STAY IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT YOU. WERE GOING TO DIE TOGETHER ON THE BATTLEFIELD! THAT WAS MY PLAN ALL ALONG! WERE GOING TO DIE TOGETHER ON THE SAME DAY YOU HEAR ME! THE SAME FUCKING DAY! DONT YOU FUCKING GIVE UP NOW! THIS IS NOT THAT DAY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME! NOT HERE, NOT LIKE THIS! PLEASE ITACHI OPEN YOUR GOD DAMN EYES!" Kakashi walked over and grabbed him and pulled him back as tears formed in his eyes. "Please... Itachi... just open your eyes" he finally whispered as the tears flowed freely "please... please..." he put his head on Kakashis shoulder as his own began to shake and it started to rain. Kakashi gently patted him on his back.

Everyone walked over, including Naruto. He looked at Sasuke and then to Itachi. "Theres one last chance" he said. Sasuke looked up at him. "Sasuke you know it could work" he continued, "no one would blame you for trying." Sasuke looked down at his brother again. "Theres no telling how long it would work though, remember that. He could die tomorrow, or fifty years from now, but it could still work" he finished. Sasuke wiped his eyes and stood up. Naruto motioned with his hands and everyone stood back. Sasuke remembered he came up with this move to kill his brother. It was only by accident he found out it could save lives too. He raised his hand above his head and said " kirin."

A small bolt of lightning came down and hit Itachi dead in the chest. He shook violently for a moment. They was a moment of silence before a large gasp was heard. Itachis eyes didnt open but his chest began to rise and fall. Nolena ran over and picked his head up slightly. She checked his pulse and felt for his heart beat. "Oh my god hes stabilizing" she exclaimed. Naruto looked at Sasuke. "Well talk back in the village about what you said" Naruto said looking at him. Sasuke looked back at him for a moment before looking back at Itachi. He stood and nodded. He walked over to the woods, and waited for the others. Naruto looked at the final members of the akatsuki. "Just go already" he said. With that they turned and left. Tobi picked up Itachi and followed. Nolena called ahead to Pein to let him know to have a hospital bed ready. With that, Tobi grabbed on to Nolena, a portal swirled out of his eye, and they vanished.
