I do not own Naruto

Chapter 35: Itachi and Kisame. Again.

"Why did we come to this town, anyway?" I asked.

"I'm looking for a woman." Jiraiya said.

"What?" I asked angrily. "If I knew that, I wouldn't have come!"

"I told you that before we came!" he said.

"No you didn't!" I said.

"Pervy sage, you should know by now that Kyoshi only hears what she wants to hear." Naruto said. Then getting totally off subject, he said "this town is weird."

And now that I think about it, this town is kind of weird. There were people all over. Lots of gambling casinos and people selling stuff. And then we got an inn.

"We're going to crash here for tonight." Jiraiya said.

"What?" Naruto asked. "But I can still walk!"

Then Jiraiya and Naruto both looked outside the inn and stared. I looked, too. There was a girl standing there, barely wearing anything.

"You hentais!" I said.

"Here's the room key." Jiraiya said, handing the keys to Naruto. "I want you guys to go up there and train for a little, work on your chakra, then get to bed, okay?"

"Whatever." I said and took the keys from Naruto. When I got to the room, I opened the door and saw beat up walls and three beds. Wait a minute! I have to sleep in the same room as them! I did not think about that before I decided I was going to come with them. I regret my decision. I pushed one bed to the corner of the room, away from the other two. Then I sat on it. It wasn't too comfortable, let me tell you.

Anyway, I wasn't training. I was laying on my back, being bored and all. And then Naruto came in.

"So, you didn't get the girl." I stated, amused.

"No. ervy sage went and left with her. I'm starting to think he has no interest in training me at all." Naruto said and started to meditate.

"He doesn't." I said but I don't think he heard me.

"Fine! I'm going for a walk." I said and left. It wasn't too long before I saw a familiar face.

"Sasuke?" I asked, confused. "What are you doing here?"

"Kyoshi! Where's Naruto?' he asked.

"Back at the inn." I said. "Why?"

"Take me to him." he said, looking like he was in a hurry.

"Okay." I said, still confused, and ran back to the room, with him following. When we got there, I saw two ninjas in black robes- Itachi and Kisame. They had their hats off this time, so I could see their faces. Naruto was in front of them standing in the doorway.

"You… you look like…" I said to Itachi, then looked at Sasuke.

"It's been a long time, Sasuke." Itachi said.

"Itach Uchiha." Sasuke said. I was so confused. I had no idea that Sasuke had a brother. Wait, it might not be his brother. Cousin maybe? Nah, they looked too much alike.

"It's only been a few hours for you, though, Kyoshi." he said, emphasizing my name.

"You know him?" Sasuke asked.

"We bumped into each other." I told him.

"She was a bit of a pest." Kisame said.

"What? Me? A pest? No!" I said sarcastically.

"The sharingan." Kisame said. I looked at Sasuke to see that he had activated it. "He looks awfully a lot like you, too, Itachi. Who is this kid?"

"He's my younger brother." Itachi said emotionlessly. I knew it.

"Itachi Uchiha, I hope you're ready to die." Sasuke said. "It's just like you said. I made my hate for you rise. I live my life for one single purpose. To se you die! It ends here!" Sasuke then ran at Itachi with the Chidori.

I would never have guessed what would happen next. Though I knew Sasuke was going to fail. Itachi slapped Sasuke's hand away so the Chidori hit the wall instead of him.

I ran at Itachi and tried to punch him, but he backed away. Then I actually hit him. He flew into the wall. He must have been strong, because the wall decided not to break. Sasuke's Chidori broke the wall! And now I'm cold…

"You're very strong, Kyoshi." he said, getting up. "But not stronger than me." then he punched me, but I caught his hand. He punched me with his other hand. I caught it again. Then eh kicked me. How was I suppose to block that? I flew back and hit the ground, coughing up blood.

Then Naruto decided to get into the fight. I was still laying on the ground, but I could see orange charka emitting from him.

Kisame cut through the chakra. He said his sword was made from shark skin. Ew.

Anyway, I got up, despite the pain, and saw Kisame getting ready to hit Naruto with his sword. I quickly ran in front of Naruto, took out one of my katanas, and blocked his sword from touching him. Some of the bandages came off and it revealed scale type things.

"You little brat!" Kisame said, highly annoyed. He drew back his sword and then tried hitting one this time. I would have blocked it if something didn't get in the way.

A frog appeared in front of me, blocking the attack with its hands- or paws- or whatever they were. Then Jiraiya appeared behind Naruto saying who he was and that the ladies bow down to his awesomeness. It was silent for a few seconds.

"I still beat you." I said. Yeah, I'm not letting that one go.

"Beaten by a little girl. How pathetic. I wouldn't even think you were one of the legendary sanin, Master Jiraiya." Kisame said.

"I know that you're after Naruto." Jiraiya said.

"You're right." Itachi said. "Naruto is the prize the Akatsuki are after."

The frog that was in front of me vanished.

"There is no way you're getting Naruto." Jiraiya said.

"Yeah." I said. "You'll have to kill me first." I stood in front of Naruto protectively.

"It's pretty convenient that you're both here." Jiraiya said. "So I can eliminate you both at the same time.

"Stay out of this!" Sasuke said. I almost forgot he was here. "The only one that's going to kill him is me."

"Go away." Itachi said. "You don't interest me at the moment."

"Well get interested!" Sasuke said, running at Itachi. He kicked Sasuke into the wall.

"Ah, brotherly love." I joked. Itachi and Kisame smirked just a bit. Then Naruto ran at Itachi.

"Naruto, stay out of this!" Sasuke said. "This fight is mine!" he then ran at Itachi again, trying to punch Itachi. He caught his fist and kicked him again, sending him flying. Poor Sasuke was getting his butt kicked. He really shouldn't take on things that he couldn't handle.

"So be it." Itachi said. He walked up to Sasuke and started beating him up.

I ran towards them, trying to help Sasuke out, but Kisame got in the way.

"You heard them. It's none of our business. Stay out of it." he said. I tried stabbing him with one of my swords, but he blocked it with his own.

"I'm starting to wonder why I hang out with you, Naruto." I said to him, not looking away from Kisame. "Every time I do, I get in these near death experiences."

Then Sasuke screamed.

"I'm going to kill him!" I said. I was referring to Itachi, not Sasuke (No Kyoshi, don't! I love him! -Kelly). I ran at him, but Kisame stopped me. Again.

"You're not going to kill anyone." he said. I tried stabbing him again, but he blocked it. That's what a second katana is for. I tried stabbing him with that one. He caught it. With his hand! I got over my shock and just dropped both the katanas and ran for Itachi.

Kisame would have gone after me if it weren't for Naruto. Thank Kami! He ran after Itachi, too, so Kisame tried stopping him instead of me.

Itachi noticed me coming after him. He looked me in the eye and I felt the floor beneath me disappear. I started falling. I screamed, of course, and everything was in slow motion.

Then I saw Itachi just standing right in front of me. What was this. Then it struck me. Genjutsu.

"Release!" I said, doing hand signs, but nothing happened.

"That's not going to work." Itachi said coldly.

Then he stabbed me in the gut. I screamed out, in pain. He smirked and twisted the sword that was already in my stomach. Another scream. That sadistic jerk. I couldn't fight back, either. I couldn't my legs nor my arms. All I could do was scream. He stabbed my arm. I let out another scream. This hurt like hell. And I couldn't die because it was only a genjutsu. Who knew a genjutsu could hurt this badly.

And it felt like days that this went on.

In the real world, it was only three seconds. In the real world, I passed out.
