Chapter 4: Death Is Only The Beginning
Sasuke grabbed Itachi's right hand with a kunai in it, and Itachi grabbed Sasuke's right, with his sword. A fake Itachi came from above, throwing three kunai, while real Itachi kept Sasuke busy.
A snake came out of the cursed seal, and wrapped itself around Sasuke's head blocking the three kunai. he let go of Itachi, and quickly with his new free hand summoned a giant shuriken, while Itachi disappeared in a puff of smoke, Sasuke hurled it at the other Itachi. It cut right through his shoulder, crackling with lightning.
"He used chidori on it...." Itachi dissolved into a bunch of ravens...
Sasuke gasped as Itachi appeared right in front of him and kicked him backwards, smashing into the wall. Sasuke made an attempt to grab Itachi's foot sending chidori through him, but Itachi grabbed his arm and pulled it back over behind his head.
"... Forgive me, Sasuke..." Itachi said, as he reached out two fingers towards Sasuke's eyes.
"This is my reality. I will have the light."
"ARRRGHH!" Sasuke's eye is plucked out!
"I warned you. Without the mangekyou sharingan you don't stand a chance against me." Itachi said.
"Now for the other one..."
Curse marks crept across Sasuke's scowling face, and Sasuke yanked his hand out of Itachi's, sending Itachi backwards to the floor. Half of his body transformed into the Cursed monster, taken over by the curse mark, as Itachi took Sasuke's eye, and put it in a jar.
This is the gap between our power. And the gap between our eyes. Sasuke gasped as Itachi came out of the wall behind him, and brought him into a lock with his arm around his neck from behind.
"SH!" Sasuke struggled as Itachi from in front of him reached out to pluck the other eye. Everything turned black and white, moving apart like puzzle pieces. Soon it was just Sasuke standing in the middle of the room panting, it was all just genjutsu, his eye wasn't plucked out.
(Sasuke just ate a tsukuyomi he won't be able to move anymore.... Suddenly, Sasuke gets back up off the ground!)
"My Tsukuomi... you..."
"What? How is Sasuke not collapsed on the ground. he just got hit with Tsukuomi! No.... he didn't get hit, he overcame it. He did? How could someone with a regular sharingan beat someone with the mangekyou? Sharingan is just another tool for some ninja to use. A tool is only as powerful as the shinobi who uses it. An expert with a stone can still beat a novice with a shuriken. All he needs is more skill and more power. So basically. Itachi understands Sasuke's underestimated potential." (Zetsu is above the fight in the wall, watching and talking t himself.... or... at least the other half of himself)
"I told you, can use your eyes on me over and over again. But my hatred for you will make my dream into a reality."
"Hmph. Make an illusion real? Fair enough. Then I say the same thing to you. During my Tsukuyomi you saw an illusion of me ripping your eyes out of their sockets... I will make that "dream" a reality."
"The air around Itachi's changing... Looks like he's finally taking him seriously... That means... We might actually get to see "amaterasu." Amaterasu!? Wow that'll be a sight to see! Coming here turned out to be the right choice after all! The battle between genjutsu is over. From the moment Sasuke broke the tsukuyomi, it is meaningless to continue on genjutsu war. Now is the time of direct ninjutsu clash! The Left side of the eye posses the strongest genjutsu while the right side posses the strongest ninjutsu. It is said that amaterasu is the fire from hell which will never disappear until it burns everything in its path." Zetsu
"Sakura! Did he... is he.....???"
"Yes, but he took down all the other monsters with him. We must get to the Uchiha catacombs immediately! I sense something bad is going to happen!" Sakura raced ahead in only pink flashes until they couldn't see her anymore.
"Damn it Itachi! Why would you even start fighting with Sasuke?!" Sakura yelled inwardly, it was not easy to run all this way as a pregnant woman. And she knew she would have to slow down a bit.
It's pouring rain. The roof was blown out by Amaterasu, Itachi forced to put it out to save Sasuke's eyes. Now, lightning crackled withing the storm, just above Sasuke. What was he planning? The roof was blown off on purpose to rapidly warm up the atmosphere above and generate a powerful rising air current to create cumulonimbus, better known as Thunder Clouds!
"Instead of using his own chakra for energy he's going to channel an enormous surge from the sky. And use it for a lightning element jutsu! At any rate it's gonna be on a completely different scale from what humans can normally produce from their own chakra and nature manipulation. he ran outside to try and take advantage of amaterasu's heat too." Zetsu speaking
"This jutsu's power souce is lightning from heaven itself. All I have to do is guide it straight through your skull!" Sasuke exclaimed, lightning surrounded him in an electric current.
"So he wasn't bluffing. There won't be any dodging that. Why not?! Lightning can reach the ground in 1/1000 of a second its hundreds of times faster than the speed of sound!" Zetsu... and... other Zetsu.... You know how his face is half white on one side then black on the other. he's talking to himself... lol...
"I call this technique "Kirin..."
"Wha what's happening? I think Sasuke just took control of the lightning!" Zetsu's
"Disappear with the thunder..." Sasuke points at Itachi, and the whole place is completely demolished by a great bolt of lightning in the form of a tiger. The akatsuki from not so far away are thrown back out of the trees by the shock wave.
"Is... Itachi dead?...."
"It's over... it's finally over... I did it!!"
"Is... that what you saw... In your vision of my death?"
!!! Itachi gets up off the ground, both of them dripping with rain.
"God damn you!" The curse mark begins to take over as Sasuke is almost out of chakra!
"If I hadn't used this I would have been obliviated..."
"Sasuke... You've become strong... very strong..."
"Behold the last weapon in my arsenal... Susano..."
"Su... Sano? " Sasuke asked, out of breath, both brothers dangerously low on chakra.
"The third and final technique, along with Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, that awoke within these eyes on that fateful day. Sasuke, are you finally out of techniques? if you've got anymore up your sleeve... I suggest you stop trying to save them. The true fight begins now." A skull of some kind of monster begins forming behind Itachi, forming into a giant monster... with a long nose!
Inside of Sasuke, Orochimaru says "I can give you what you want..." Not to long ago Sasuke killed Orochimaru, and sealed him inside of himself.... but when Sasuke's low on chakra, Orochimaru has the power to take over! Sasuke begins to struggle against Orochimaru.
"Shit no!"
"Shall I lend you my power? Admit it Sasuke-kun... you need me! you do want your revenge on Itachi, don't you? Come unleash me... and your wish will be granted..." Giant snakes appear out of no where.
"I know this feeling... Orochimaru's hydra technique..." Itachi whispered
"N Now what!? Sasuke tried to forcibly draw out more chakra even though he has none left..." The Zetsu twins talking to each other... again..
"You finally show yourself..."
"Ahh that's Orochimaru! Always with the barfing stuff and the coming out of snake mouths... he grosses me out. The snake connection is no coincidence, he's as persistent as a king cobra." Zetsu twins, that's Zetsu's new name.
"Here and now! The chance I've been waiting for has finally come! And it's all thanks to you forcing Sasuke-kun to expend the chakra he used to keep me suppressed! I'll take his body for my own defeat!" Itachi looked bored as Orochimaru from the big snakes mouth charged at him with a sword.
"Alright Sasuke. Got anything else?" Itachi chuckled the giant demon behind him slashed a sword right through the snakes mouth cutting some of Orochimaru.
"You don't really think a little cut like this will be enough to stop me- !! Th This... it cant be... the sword of Totsuka! itachi... you had it all along...?" Orochimaru begins to be sucked away.
"No wonder no matter where he searched he could never find it.. A spirit sword with no real physical form... So what's the story behind it? the Sword of Totsuka, also known as Snakesara Katana. Is a weapon said to carry sealing powers. Anyone and anything in it's pieces becomes trapped in a blissful dreamlike genjutsu for all eternity... or so the legend goes... The blade itself is enchanted with an incredible sealing technique... the ultimate counter to the sword of Kusanagi... Orochimaru searched for it all his life. All that on top of his eye techniques... Boy Itachi's one tough dude!" Yep you guessed it... The Zetsu twins speaking again
"End of the line Sasuke..."
"Man what is up with Itachi's jutsu? Looks like using Susano'o technique carries alot of risk... Yeah but Sasuke can't even use his sharingan now... And Orochimaru's powers just got ripped out of him... Itachi's got this wrapped up, no?"
"Your eyes belong to me now! I'll take them slowly... I want to savor this... Ack!" Itachi begins to cough up blood, to Sasuke and Zetsu twins surprise.
"Whoa what- is something wrong with him?" Sasuke is backed up against the wall, as Itachi get's closer.
"Fuck you!" He pulls out a scroll and throws multiple Kunai at him, but the Susano blocks all the kunai, and Itachi keeps walking towards Sasuke.
"This "Susano'o" Tecnique... it's shield's reflecting all of Sasuke's attacks! That's another supernatural item... I'm sure of it. Its called " Yata's Mirror" A shield that can turn back any attack. And combined with the sword of Totsuka for offense.... He's completely invincible..."
"My eye's My...." Itachi is closer, and reaches out to Sasuke's face. Sasuke pulls out his sword, but "Susano'o slams Sasuke against the wall, and Sasuke sinks to the ground. He tries to scoot away from Itachi's reaching bloody hand, and is found backed up against the wall, turning away.
Time seems to go by so slowly, the closer his hand is to Sasuke's eyes, only a few inches away, two fingers. 1 inch away... and.... *poke!* He pokes Sasuke's forehead! Sasuke surprised seems frozen as Itachi's fingers slide down his face leaving a trail of blood. He falls forward, hitting the wall, then falls to the ground, right next to Sasuke, still absolutely terrified.
"Itachi... is dead? Dead! Impossible!? That... Itachi... Sasuke's won! I can't believe it... That definitely wasn't Itachi's true power... His movements are completely different. He even looks different... Haven't you said this before? Correct. To not dodge attacks that he normally does and coughing up blood during the fight... I wouldn't be surprised if Itachi sustained some sever damage before the battle started... So it's an overuse of sharingan? No... but I just can't put my finger on it... Itachi came so close to getting Sasuke's eyes...." With a last smile, Sasuke too collapses next to Itachi. In the distance, a flash of pink, and a scream of agony.
"Itachiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It's horrible... I I keep hearing him say... Death is only the beginning... Do not cry for me, I'm still here. There is no tears, no sadness... Only love. Love will survive the binds and bitterness of time. There is only love."
End of chapter 4.... Sorry for killing Itachi... but seriously at least I'm changing it around quite a bit.... you'll see. Please don't be mad at me.... Masashi Kishimoto really did kill him, just like this, but at least I've given a chance to bring him back. there is no chance in the real manga. Oh an by the way.... Itachi wants me to ask you guys out there, if you see his dignity, please tell it he misses it and wants it back. Thank you!
