Thank you crazzynerd for the chakra coated bomb idea and thank you JusticexxPeace for the jutsu which will be turned into a bomb after Akira gets um...mentally stable?

Akira's POV

I woke up to the sound of explosions and the smell of smoke, Deidara… I pushed myself gently of the bed and sleepily found my other clothes. Today I would prepare and this evening would be the time to act. I made my way to the kitchen grabbing a piece of toast from Kisame's plate, he didn't mind surprisingly and offered me a strawberry as dessert. Itachi gazed at me coldly from his spot at the table, he nodded to Kisame before leaving the room.

"What was that about?"

"He wants me to give you a message that's all." He shrugged, smiling a toothy grin.

I waited until he finished his breakfast before getting a bit impatient. "Well…what's the message?"

"He says to meet him in the training grounds in 10 which is almost up now that I think about it."

"He left 10 minutes ago." I stated bluntly, pushing my chair away from the table.

"Yeah, you're right. You better run." He said tapping his chin with his finger. He just loves messing with people, doesn't he?

I rushed out to the training grounds finding Itachi staring at the false sky, almost as though he was praying.

"Hey, you called?"

"Sit." He ordered pointing to a tree nearby.

I sat facing him, somewhat wary yet very curious. What did he want to talk about? Did he want to extend my training time?

"You know of Sasuke." It was more of a statement then a question yet I answered anyways.

"Yeah, he's my teammate, an uchiha, in the hospital from what I hear, and your little brother. What of it?"

"Can you give him this?" Itachi pulled a small card and a small box from his pocket.

"Um, is it dangerous?"

"No." I expected him to elaborate what it was for but I guess I would have to ask another question.

"Alright, I suppose I can get it to him. No guarantees he'll except it though. So what's it for?"

"His birthday's coming up. When you leave make sure he gets it."

"Wait, you knew I plan to leave?"

"Yes, seeing as your determination came from protecting a certain target of ours I suspected. When you do leave, please give my regards to Sasuke and be careful. You never know who is listening." He turned and walked to leave the room.

I didn't understand, he was evil right? I looked at the card and box, the box was handmade, it was basic but you could tell he put time into it. He really did care about his brother but…if he cared so much why would he have done such horrible things?

"Hey." I said stopping him. He turned his head to me indicating he was listening.

"What is it?"

"Why'd you do it?"

"Be more specific."

"Why'd you kill your clan? Why do you still hurt Sasuke?"

He appeared next to me a kunai appearing in his hand. My eyes widened and for a moment my breathing stopped. "Children shouldn't ask questions that they wouldn't understand the answers to."

A shaky breath left my, "But what if I could."

"You who were raised by a normal family, you couldn't understand-"

"I wasn't though." I said causing him to raise an eyebrow. "I wasn't raised by a normal family. My real family tried to kill me, sacrificing me to a demon. My older brother was the one who saved me, because that's what older brothers do."

"I did too. I saved Sasuke. If I hadn't killed them, he and the rest of the village would have died as well. Do not ask anymore of this."

I nodded hesitantly, my curiosity hadn't been sated. The kunai was removed, disappearing back into Itachi's sleeve as he left the room. So I couldn't ask about it, but that doesn't mean the information isn't somewhere in the world. Archives, libraries, journal entries, I don't have to ask for the information. I'll just read it.

I placed the box and card into my pocket, about to leave the room myself when Tobi bounded out of nowhere.

"Akira-chan! Tobi has a secret, want to hear?"

"Uh, Tobi has a secret sugar stash and he just ate it all?"

He giggled, no I'm serious, he giggled like a girl. "No silly, Tobi knows an amazingly secret jutsu."

"Sure you do. I'll just leave you to your sugar rush."

"Tobi will be a good boy and teach the all powerful technique to Akira." He grabbed my arm and ran down the hall, me trailing after him like a flag.

What is going on! Am I being kidnapped again? It's a sad day when I have to ask that…

We stopped in a dark hall, much like the hall leading to Pein's office, but this one seemed so much more sinister but that might have been caused by Tobi's sudden personality switch.

A deep voice echoed off the walls, "Now Akira, I have a very specific jutsu in mind for you to learn."

He used 'I', what is going on? I shrank back hoping to leave the way I came but no luck. The darkness seemed to go on and on.

"Don't try to leave, you should know I worked on this jutsu specifically with you in mind. According to the reports from my servants you've become increasingly successful with your chakra and it's endurance. This is a necessary skill when executing this move. Do you want to know what I'm talking about?"

"No. You are freaking me out and I want to leave, let me go back to Pein or someone." Anyone. I turned and began walking forward into the shadows.

"This jutsu would help protect the Kyuubi."

I stopped mid-step. Protect Naruto, how? I can at least find out what it is… "How?"

"Simply put it is a jutsu with unrivaled capabilities, it is a jutsu that can clear an entire army ending wars in its tracks."

"Alright well how does it do that? You've only told me it's powerful."

"Yes extremely so, for it can steal the souls of your enemies. It leaves no marks aside from empty shells, vacant eyes and the scent of death. This jutsu may prove to be your downfall though as, if uncontrolled, it can steal your soul as well."

"I don't know if I want to learn it then, what if I hurt my friends?"

"As long as I teach you and you keep them away from the site they'll be fine. In fact it's better if they don't know about this specific…skill. It will undoubtedly be useful in future fights but if you don't want to learn it I suppose I'll just use it on the Kyuubi."

"Wait, I- I want…I want to learn." No matter how shady this is, I have to at least try. This could be my best defense against these people.

"That's good to hear. So we'll start with the first sign…"

An hour or so later and I had mastered the ordering of the signs. Once he deemed me ready, he then brought me to a clearing filled with small creatures.

"I don't think I can do this." I said staring at the defenseless creatures.

"Of course you can. It's no different than killing an enemy."

"You're wrong there is a difference, these can't defend themselves, humans can. I have enemies who are human but I don't have an enemy that is an animal. Do I really have to…"

"Kill them? Yes, it's the only way to practice. Turn and face your target."

I couldn't believe what I was about to do and apparently my body couldn't either. My hands shook uncontrollably as I forced them to make the hand signs, Tobi or the other Tobi didn't take his eyes off me. If I didn't do as he said I could end up on the receiving end of this jutsu.

I released a bit of chakra and right in front of my eyes the bunny died. It's eyes became lifeless, there was no scream it was as though it passed away peacefully but it's expression showed immense pain. Shock, fear it was all clearly expressed. I couldn't look away, I had just killed an innocent little bunny, to practice this stupid thing. I fell to my knees, vomiting onto the grass. Eyes blurry, the bunny went in and out of focus, I felt light-headed. It's mouth was open as though it were going to cry out at any second but I knew it never would and that haunted me more than a scream ever could.

Tobi's voice sounded muffled to my ears, a dead ringing sounding far off. "Good, you did well for the first time. Most would have passed out knowing the power they held, the control."

Little did he know I was very close to disappearing off into my own subconscious but he grabbed my arm hoisting me to my feet. "Again. This time try taking two out at a time."

I felt sick. Again, he wants me to try again? He's not human, he can't be… He shook me harshly as my body remained as limp as a ragdoll.

"Stand. Face the target and remember," He leaned down to my ear. "There is no going back."

I nodded mutely, I felt dead myself, like the bunny I had killed. I looked up glancing at my new targets, three bunnies munching on grass up the hill. He had said two but now another had joined. I made the hand signs, wiping my mind of memories, emotions everything. Soon there were 4 dead bunnies lying on the hill… I thought that would be the end. My chakra may have held out but my mind and body were repulsed.

I was about to leave when he said, "Wait, you should finish the job."

I turned to question what he meant, not wanting to partake in pointless slaughter again. What I saw made my heart stop. 5 baby bunnies had struggled out of there hole and were now nudging the first bunny. It had had a family. It was a mother. I felt the bile rise in my throat and turned to a bush, nothing but water a stomach acid was left.

Tobi spun me back around, not helping the dizzying feeling I had. His voice was like velvet but his words were like poison. "Do it. It shouldn't be a problem, without their mother they'll die anyways. You're doing them a favor."

I swayed on my feet, I can't. I physically can't. I fell to my knees again, but a single glare from Tobi and I began to perform the signs. I could practically feel the smirk as Tobi turned to watch the small creatures barely a week old struggle to understand what had happened. Soon they'd be joining their mother in death. Tobi seemed to relish in the thought, getting a twisted pleasure out of this. I finished the seals and each one fell still, dying alongside their companions, eyes wide mouths open just like their mom. I fell back, caught by Tobi who carried me back into the cool base. I felt like a leaf, shaking uncontrollably, wanting to cry but being unable to. I was sick, sick with myself.

He carried me to my room setting me on my bed before leaving; he said only one thing during this time.

"Welcome to your future."

I knew what he meant by that, my future was to kill. The life of a ninja was kill or be killed, those with superior jutsu lived it was a as simple as that. I was a danger now, I held the power to snuff out existences. It was all the future held for me, and now I was to know that. I did't want to know…I wanted to remain the same…

I spent a few hours sitting alone in my room, the burning taste of bile still in my mouth. I eventually got up and walked to the kitchen, I got a few concerned looks but no one asked anything. I grabbed an apple from the counter and walked back to my room. No words were exchanged, the others glanced at each other but thought better than to ask.

My backpack filled with my belongings sat in the corner of my room, I had nearly forgotten. I was leaving today. I get to go back, back to my old life. If I go back though what will I do…I fit in better with the S-ranks now anyways, knowing this jutsu. Sure it's useful but I shouldn't use it, at least not yet.

Wait, just because I know a jutsu doesn't mean I have to use it. Maybe I can continue my normal life. I just need to forget…an image of the hill entered my mind. I shook my head as my breathing threatened to hyperventilate. Maybe not forget but just push it to the back, learn but not dwell.

I took a few solid breaths before allowing my thoughts to hone onto their main focus, how to escape in the flashiest way possible. This should bring me back and away from Tobi.

I began my plan by laying out the necessary tools, I had paper bombs, some chemicals, wire, and I realized I didn't need these at all. Itachi had recently discovered I had a fire chakra nature, I had no real clue what that meant but I guess I was better using fire jutsus if I learned any at all. I told Deidara and he taught me how to create a small flame that I could sustain by adding fuel or even without fuel. All it need was chakra if I had nothing else. So with this in mind we brainstormed, eventually we created the Chakra coated Bomb, it was still theoretical but I'm sure with a bit of time I could make it work.

So three hours later at around 6 pm I had created it, a small fire encased in a chakra dome. The chakra dome was incredibly fragile though, it was hard for me to sustain the casing which was feeding the fire. As the pressure in the dome increased because of the heat and carbon dioxide it would shatter exploding at a great force. There were just a few issues, at the moment I had no clue when it would go off, I didn't know it's range and it seemed to drain my chakra to an all time low. I was assuming that I had about two to five minutes before it would go off so I decided to use my time as wisely as possible.

I cast off any doubts I had about leaving, gently placing the bomb on the floor grabbing my backpack and making a move to the door. I had been wrong about the timing. Not moments before I had reached the last hallway had the bomb gone off. Pieces of rock and wooden beams cascaded down on me. I tried to get to the door but the dust blocked my site forcing me to my knees in a coughing fit. Something struck my back pinning me to the ground. Bits of rock fell around me, large chunks of wall wound up near me I was pinned between a chunk of the ceiling and stuck to the ground by a beam. Buried in dust and smaller pieces of debris.

I covered my head but still managed to get hit, my head mercilessly collided with the ground. I was aware of only two things at the time, one I couldn't feel my body anymore and two the Akatsuki had made it out alive…
