Ch. 23

Itachi had met Naruto and Killer Bee, Itachi defeated Naruto with his own version of Talk-No-Jutsu. Itachi met his younger brother, Sasuke, and teamed up to defeat Kabuto. Itachi said his goodbyes to his younger brother, showed him the truth about the past, the downfall of the clan and much more.

And now, he was back in the void of darkness. Nothing to his right, nothing to left, not south or north, everywhere was pitch black. He just sat there, thinking on what was happening in Remnant, how was everyone doing? Did the other survive the attack on Beacon and Vale, would he be able to return to that world that made itself his home after many years, or would he spend all of eternity stuck here in the nothingness...He slammed his fist in the non existing ground he sat on, remembering that he had failed yet again to save someone close to him, another friend. He closed his eyes, the last images of Pyrrha being struck by the arrow and being disintegrated being replayed over and over and over again. He promised he would keep his friends safe, he promised he would lean on them for help, he promised to return to them...and yet what did all those promises end with? Death.

'Damn it all!' He thought, balling up his hands into fist 'Does my word mean nothing? Does my existence truly bring nothing but sorrow and death?' He inhaled deeply before slowly exhaling "I am Calamity.

"...Ita...chi..."

Itachi opened his eyes as he swiftly stood. He turned to look around but nothing. He swore he had just heard a whisper of his name.

"...Itachi..."

He turned around again, the voice seeming a but clearer, but nothing. Was this place playing games on him?

"Where are you looking, Itachi-kun?"

His eyes widened, the voice he remembered hearing so many years ago on that horrid night, sounded as if it were right next to him. He felt a gentle and warm hand over his as he slowly turned and his eyes widened. There she was, the first victim of that night, her long brown hair, those doe brown eyes, and that tiny mole under her eye, yet the only difference was that she looked to be the same age as him. She patted the space next to her as she then pulled him down when he wouldn't move.

"Izumi."

Izumi gave him a gentle smile. "Who else were you expecting?" She giggled as she noticed him looking at her physique. "I thought it would be best to come see you in this form, this way we look around the same age."

"I-I-"

Izumi shook her head. "I told you, didn't I. There's nothing for you to be sorry for, we chose our path and this was the end result." Izumi looked down, intertwining her fingers with his "And I also thanked you, for giving me the peaceful ending I wished for."

Itachi gulped. "How are you here? Why haven't you moved on?"

"I did, we all did, but it's war over there Itachi." She stated as she looked at him "Ever since that night, we came across Madara in the afterlife, and even in death, he hates the Uchiha, but with him having been resurrected via the Edo-Tensei, we've been able to have some peace."

"I stopped the Edo-Tensei."

"You did, but Madara knew the seals, and now causes havoc in the world of the living, an immortal body with eternal chakra reserves." Izumi stated as Itachi squeezed her hand as he was about to stand "There's nothing you can do now, leave the rest to those you've entrusted the future with, I'm sure they'll be able to stop both him and Obito." Izumi leaned her head on his shoulder as she played with his hand.

Itachi looked away, slowly pulling his hand away from hers, but he did not move from his spot. "Izumi, I-"

"I know. You've fallen in love with Weiss and Blake." Itachi looked down at her as she smiled up at him "I've been watching you, we've been watching you."

"We?"

Izumi kept her smile as she motioned to their left. Itachi's eyes widened again, this time he could feel water building underneath, trying his hardest not to cry in front of his parents, his best friend, Shisui, and the clan.

Itachi stood from his place, Izumi following after him as he took a step forward but was swiftly met with his mother embracing him in a hug, nearly knocking the breath out of him. It took him less than a second to wrap his arms around the woman who birthed him, feeling the warm liquid on his chest as he held her tightly, as he then felt a hand on his shoulder. He followed the hand up the arm to its owner, his father who smiled at him.

"It's okay, son, there's no need to hide your emotions anymore."

Fugaku wrapped his arms around his wife and son, smiling, seeing the tears his oldest son wept. The small family together once again.

"I'm proud of you, Son." He heard his father say

After a few moments the family let go, giving each other some space as Mikoto smiled, looking at how much her son had grown.

"You've really grown, Itachi." She said placing a hand on his cheek as he leaned into his others gentle hand "My baby boy, My little Ita."

That last comment caused his eye to lightly twitch as he could hear whispers and silent laughter coming from the other clan members.

"Mother."

Mikoto put a finger up stopping him. "I am your mother and will call you what I wish to, young man, or would you rather I call you-"

"L-Little Ita is fine mother." Itachi swiftly interrupted

"Oh~ What were you about to say, Aunt Mikoto?" It was Shisui who walked up them smirking "I would love to hear it."

"Shisui." Itachi narrowed his eyes in warning

Shisui laughed before putting his hands up in surrender. "Fine. Fine, I won't press on." Shisui said as he smirked 'For now.' Shisui smiled and then hugged Itachi "It's nice seeing you again, little cousin."

Itachi returned the hug. "It's nice seeing you too, Shisui, but I must apologize, I failed you and the clan."

Shisui took a step back and shook his head. "No, it was us that failed you, I left everything in your hands, placing a large burden upon your shoulders, and if the clan could have seen past the curse of hatred just as we did, then this could have been all avoided." Itachi looked at the clan who looked down, eyes closed as if taking responsibility for what they had done, what they had planned, and so did Itachi, he looked down in thought. Shisui watched him and smirked. "But I guess it wasn't all bad, you did end up in a different world and you were able to snag you those two girls." Shisui crossed his arms "But in my opinion, I would have gone for the tall, blonde, and sexy." Shisui smirked and nodded "Quite the fiery one isn't she."

Itachi blinked before he started pinching the bridge of his nose. "Not even five minutes and you're already hitting on my friend."

"What?" Shisui shrugged "It's the truth!"

"About that..." They looked at Mikoto who was smiling "Seems you've become quite the indecisive one, Itachi."

"You can't blame him Mikoto." Fugaku spoke his arms crossed, eyes closed. "He already had a hard decision to make before, it must've scarred him."

Mikoto narrowed her eyes at Fugaku who kept his eyes closed, yet still felt as if he was shrinking under her glare before she sighed. "Well, it's not unheard of the head of a clan to have more than one wife." Fugaku nodded in agreement as he felt daggers looming into him "Though I've made it perfectly clear to your father, that would not happen in our marriage, right, honey."

Fugaku nodded. "Of course, Dear. You're the only woman I've ever loved."

Mikoto turned to her oldest son. "I don't disapprove, but now if you truly wish to be with both, you must figure out a way to be bound to them both with love." She smiled as she wiped a lone tear from her eye "To think that you'll soon be having babies, my grand-babies, oh Itachi, you must use protection! I'm still too young to be a grandmother!"

"Mikoto we've been dead for years now, you're not t-" Fugaku felt a chill run up his spine as he shut his mouth and was tight lipped.

"Are you going to finish that sentence?" Mikoto innocently asked as Fugaku shook his head "Good."

"Well, I guess that settles the pool." Shisui blurted out as Izumi punched him in the gut

"Pool?" Itachi questioned

"Everyone was betting on who you would end up with." Shisui groaned holding onto his stomach as he lay on the floor "The clan was divided between Weiss or Blake."

Izumi kicked Shisui in the back and huffed. "Your Mother and Father were the only ones that picked both, guess they really knew you better." Izumi stated as Itachi looked at her and they locked eyes before she looked away a small blush on her cheeks "I-I of course stayed out of the silly pool."

"That's because you still love him and-" Shisui hadn't finished as Izumi grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the crowd of the clan as they moved letting him fall onto the non existent ground.

"I-" Itachi stopped and swiftly turned around as his eyes locked on with another Uchiha and a girl. "Obito."

"Itachi." Obito looked at the others "Everyone, I-" Obito sighed and fell to his knees and hands "I'm sorry!" They could see water droplets landing on the ground "Because of me, the village shunned everyone, I'm the reason why Itachi had to make that decision." The girl beside him pressed her hand on his back and slowly caressed him. "Itachi, I-"

Itachi appeared in front of him, lifting him up by the collar of his robe. "Don't you dare ask me for forgiveness. Live with what you did just as I had to." Itachi let go of Obito's robe and took a step back "Live with it and just know that we may have had our differences, but I never once blamed you for what happened to the clan." Obito looked at him wide eyed. "Therefore, there's nothing for me to forgive you for."

"Itachi."

"That's well said, Kin Slayer." Obito, Rin, and Itachi all moved back as they stood in front of the Clan, guarding them. "Why so jumpy?"

"Madara." Obito growled as he then chuckled "So they managed to finish you off that quick?"

Madara's eyes narrowed. "Watch your tongue, Obito, remember who you're speaking to." Madara moved towards the group as many had taken a defensive stance. "At ease, clansmen, I have no interest in dancing with you anymore." Madara then focused on Itachi and Obito. "Just as you were, I was used as well." He balled his fists. "Damn that Black Zetsu, and that Kaguya."

"Kaguya?" Itachi questioned "As in the Rabbit Goddess? The mother of all chakra?"

Madara narrowed his eyes. "Just how much did you actually know, boy?"

"Enough to leave counter measures against other threats." Itachi admitted

"Other threats?" Obito questioned

"With the Akatsuki gone, there lays even bigger threats." Itachi began Madara listening intently "There are others like Kaguya, maybe even stronger, then there's a secret organization that goes by Kara."

"Kara? Why weren't we told of this? And how did you come to have this information?" Obito questioned

"The three most notably strongest of the group, you, Obito, Nagato, and I would seem to compare to one of the lower level of that group."

"You left me out." Madara stated

"You were dead, are dead." Itachi sighed and began recollecting his thoughts. "If you kill an Otsutski, you gain a power that rivals that of a Gods, those members each posses a mark. As for how I came to this information...Scrolls in hidden temples, chambers, old relics, and one of their members came into direct contact with me." Itachi crossed his arms "They planned on recruiting me to their cause, to heal me from my illness, but I refused, I already had the rest of my life planned out, to live with the illness and wait for Sasuke to get stronger, then die by his hand."

"There's no way they would let you simply leave, how did you escape?" Madara questioned Itachi "How well can you dance?"

"If I did not have the Yata Mirror and Sword of Totska, I would have surely died, then and there."

Obito crossed his arms. "You were already sick, to still manage to escape, is no easy feat." Obito looked at Madara then back at Itachi. "We need to warn the living somehow."

"You can not and will not, this is why Itachi was chosen to die young, to be sent to a different world, not just him but the other versions of him as well. He knows too much, holds secrets no ordinary human should, you've already caused a disturbance in the multiverse by escaping and aiding Nagato from the Edo-Tensei before your time."

"And you are?" Madara arms crossed, Eternal Mangekyo activated turned along with the others who activated their Mangekyo "Speak woman."

The woman was tall, with pale skin, the only clothing she wore was a bikini top and bottom under a long black robe, the hood over her head as her long white hair draped over her shoulders. She was a beautiful woman, her white eyes shining under the dark hood.

"You're not taking him from us, Death." A large black dragon appeared from portal high above as it landed and roared, but the woman did not flinch, a second later a dark smoke engulfed the dragon and once it had cleared a tall man whose body was made of a purple darkness and had two horns curving backwards like a ram, appeared and walked up to the group. "My older brother brought him into our world for a purpose and now I know of it too, he belongs with us."

"D-Death?" Obito backed away "You have got to be kidding me."

"To think a God of Death like me, would meet the actual Death." Madara said as he began to smile "This is getting interesting."

"Itachi." Itachi looked back at his mother who had a worried expression on her face and so did the others behind them, except for Shisui who seemed a bit more serious and made his way in front of the clan.

"Mind your tongue, you may be a god Universe S-R1, but I am Death, there is only one of me and I traverse all universes, I'll reap your soul, just as I did to the old man." Death glanced at the God of Darkness before placing her attention back on Itachi. "Just as I said, you can not stay here, the way I see it you have three choices." Death waved a finger and a portal opened. "You can pass onto the afterlife with your clan, join your family, friends and rekindle the flame with your past lover, but will be forever sealed, never to make contact with the other worlds here in S-N3." She waved her finger again a portal opening behind the God of Darkness. "You can return to the world you were taken to in Universe S-R1, reunite with your friends, your new adopted family and your two lovers." She once more waved a finger as portal opened behind her. "Or you can come with me to Universe S-DXD1, become the ultimate form rivaling myself, and have all the lovers you can dream of wanting/having."

"You wench."

Death snapped her fingers as the God of Darkness fell to his knees and could not stand no matter how much he struggled. "I did say to mind you tongue." She narrowed her eyes, watching Itachi. "Make your decision now, I do not wait on anyone."

Itachi looked back at the clan, his friends, and lastly his parents along with Izumi. His eyes caught with hers, she smiled and mouthed a few words.

"Go, Itachi-kun, just know that no matter what you choose, that'll I will love you always."

Itachi nodded and turned back to Death. "I choose to return to Remnant. To Universe S-R1."

Death stayed silent for a few moments before nodding, the portal behind her closing. "As you wish." She then looked at the rest of the clan. "As for the rest of you, it is time to move on, and this time no more war." She gave Madara a pointed look. "Say your goodbyes, we must leave this place." She said as the portal behind the clan expanded and she moved to stand next to it.

Itachi turned to face his parents and the others. "Our time may have been short, but seeing everyone one more time...it felt like I was home once again."

Shisui walked up to him giving him a big bear hug. "You take care little cousin, and make sure to rebuild a better version of the clan over there." Shisui grinned as he and Itachi fist bumped.

Izumi walked up to him, her hands behind her back. "You know, I would've killed you had you chosen to stay here instead of going back to them."

Itachi chuckled. "We are already dead."

Izumi rolled her eyes. "True, but nothing can save you from a woman's scorn." Izumi smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down giving him one last kiss before pulling away. "Now you can finally move on." Izumi looked away as her eyes widened when Itachi embraced her in a hug and she started sobbing quietly. "Just remember what I said, promise."

Itachi released her. "I promise." He smiled as she walked away. "Thank you, Izumi, for loving someone like me." He watched as Shisui whispered something which earned him a punch in the face sending him flying through the portal. 'I wonder what he said?' Itachi sweat dropped.

"Son."

"My baby."

"We are both proud of you, now go and save your world, build a loving home and love your family just like you always have." His parents said in unison as they embraced him in a loving hug.

Itachi held them tightly, knowing this would be the last time they would ever see eachother again. "I love you, Mother and Father." He said as they released eachother from the embrace.

Fugaku placed his forehead on Itachi's. "Go get them son, and be a better father than I ever was." Itachi nodded as his father walked away.

Mikoto placed both her hands on his face as she pulled him down giving him a kiss on the forehead. "This may be the last time we see eachother, but we will always be in here." She pressed her hand over his heart. "We will always watch over you and your new family, our new family, because when you mess with one member of the family, you mess with us all." Mikoto smiled wiping away some tears of her own as she wiped away some that Itachi hadn't known he had shed. "We will always love you my little bubby boo."

Itachi smiled giving his mom a kiss on the forehead. "I love you too, Mother." Mikoto smiled letting go of her eldest son and walked back towards the rest of the clan.

Itachi turned and walked towards the God of Darkness, but was stopped by Obito. "Take these as a parting gift. Now you will not go blind." Obito pressed his hand over Itachi's eyes for a few seconds before letting go. "They'll do you more good, use them wisely." Obito extended his hand out to him.

Itachi took his hand and shook it before letting go and looking at the girl beside him. "Take care of him for us."

Rin smiled. "I sure will." She responded as they walked away.

Madara walked up to him last, arms still crossed as he looked into his eyes as they widened. "There's no point, it seems you've already awakened them." Madara turned away from Itachi. "Be better leader than I ever was. Than any of our ancestors were." Madara walked away staying a couple of feet away from the rest of the clan.

"Let's go." The God of Darkness said as he and Itachi walked through the portal and vanished.

Most of the clan had entered through the portal as only Itachi's parents and Izumi were left. As they were about to enter they stopped as they felt something appear. Even Death paused as they all looked behind them as some Shoji doors appeared, the shadow of a lone figure appearing behind it as they slowly opened. A Black Butterfly came flying out from the doors as the figure finally stepped out, causing all but Death to widen their eyes.

"So, it's true." The figure was a tall male with long black hair tied in a low pony-tail, centre parted bangs framing his face and tear troughs under his onyx colored eyes, the man wore a Black Shihakusho under a White Haori. "You're out of the cage and have gone back to your duties, along with doing what you wish."

"I-Itachi-kun...?" Izumi said

"This can't be..." Fugaku began

"...We just saw you leave." Mikoto finished

"He is not your Itachi, not the one from this Universe." Death stated as she looked at his garments. "A Death God, or Soul Reaper, both are the same, what Universe are you from and why are you here?"

Itachi looked over at the three and smiled. "It's nice to see you three, even if you're not from my original universe, you're still my family." He said before placing his attention back on Death. "Universe S-B1. And I am just confirming what we were told, it seems we should relieve him if you have returned."

"Relieve who?"

"Another version of myself from Universe S-N2. He's been acting as Death for that universe, but with your return it seems that he can finally move on to somewhere else."

"This may be my chance." Death whispered. "A version closest to it's prime world."

"It is already too late. The God of Darkness from Universe S-R2 has already come in contact with him." Itachi informed her as the Black Butterfly landed on his elbow as his he looked in some surprise "Interesting, the Universe S-N2 itself has changed into S-R2..."

"You're taking your sweet time here, Itachi." Out of the same shoji doors appeared another figure, this was a man with White hair, he is thin and tall with sharp features as he keeps his eyes narrowed in slits and he wore an all White Robe over a White Hakama, he had a wide mocking smile as he passed through. "Oh? So it's true, she's back."

"Gin, what are you doing here?" Itachi questioned

"You were taking to long. And I was asked to accompany you, Captain." Ichimaru replied

"Kyoraku sent you, to accompany me?" Ichimaru nodded. "You? Who's on probation?"

"I'm better suited as an ally to the Gotei 13, after you told them I was spying on Aizen and sending you information, after you saved me from dying." Gin kept his usual grin as he looked over at the other trio "But it was mostly your wives who asked me to keep an eye on you."

Itachi sighed and pinched the bridge of the nose. "Well, I'm done here, let's go." Itachi gave the group a single nod "And he's kidding, I only have one wife." He informed them before turning as they saw the Black Rhombus with three lines inside it on Itachi's Haori. He lightly elbowed Gin whom whispered that he was a Liar.

Gin kept his mocking smile as he turned, nothing was on the back of his as they stepped through the Shoji doors and they began closing, he turned back and leaned sideways as he waved at them. "Bye Bye."

"Hurry and go through, I must get going." Death ordered as the three did as were told, the portal closed as a list came into her view "That Universe S-N2 Itachi would have been perfect, but it seems I may have to dig even deeper for the right one, but where?" She questioned herself as she walked throug a portal and disappeared. 'Maybe I will have to strike a deal with the old man, and retrieve the soul of that from S-N42, he would be the perfect vessel.'

With Itachi

"How much time has passed?"

The God of Darkness glances to his side. "8-9 months have passed."

Itachi clenched his fist. "I have to find the others, before Salem does." He brought his hand up to his eyes "We must defeat her or the world will never be at peace."

"You can't." Itachi looked up at him in question "She is cursed with Immortality, she will not be killed."

Itachi crossed his arms. "Immortality does not mean she's invincible." His Sharingan flared as it morphed to a his New Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan "There are more ways than killing to stop a person, be mortal, immortal, and even Gods. Everyone has a weakness."

The God of Darkness chuckled. "Foolish human, you do not have the means, therefore I propose a deal."

"..."

"I can provide what you need to defeat her, but in return..." He grinned maliciously

A/N- And there we go! This chapter was a shorter than the last few, but it was mostly meant to be a filler in between chapter before he actually returns to Remnant. Next chapter he will finally be reunited with some of the others! See ya next time! Buh-Bye! :D

keybladelight- Yes, Pyrrha is sadly gone. And Thank you, Sephiroth is actually my favorite FF character. It is almost time for his past to be revealed to those close to him! I left out the moment with him and Sasuke, Sorry! And If he'd like to then he can go ahead and do it.

VocaloidBrony- Yeah, I kinda wanted to save her, but went ahead with the canon route, but at the very least he tried. And yeah, at the very least that saga will only be a mention and I wasn't planning on going into the war.

Rio Skyron- Yes it was, but also another character which makes her seem a bit...Crazy. lol

therichardater- Shot two arrows, first hit Itachi, but the second passed through him. I need to fix that lol

artem-abramov-2004- I don't speak Indonesian but thank those that have made google translator lol And yeah, the same day he was brought back with the edo-tensei, he managed to escape its hold on him using his semblance.

Kage-kitsune9001- Thanks and yeah, but I wasn't going to go into the war, just a little, oh shit everything happened before he was brought back with edo-tensei, which explains what was happening to him on top of Beacons tower.

razmire- It did and does. Sadly, he tried, but his spirit and soul leaving his body mad his Susanoo drop at the worst time. And do not worry, I will expalin what happened in the next chapter.
