Aika sat in her bed reading a book, she was bored out of her mind. Naruto and Haruto had left with Jiraiya, the pervy sage as Naruto calls him. They were going to find some lady names Tsunade, to be the next Hokage.
"Aika!"
"Ah!" Aika jumped when she saw Sasuke at her window "what the hell Sasuke!"
"Where's Naruto?!" Sasuke shouts
"huh? Naruto.. he left the village with Jiraiya and Haruto" Aika replies confused "what's going on?"
"Itachi.." Sasuke looks angry "he's back"
"I-Itachi" Aika stands up from her bed "wasn't he the one-"
"Yeah he was, and he's after Naruto" Sasuke tells her "I'm going to find them!"
Sasuke jumps down from her window
"wait Sasuke!" Aika runs to her window "why?!"
"to kill him of course!" Sasuke shouts before turning to run
"wait i'm coming too!" Aika gets on her window
"It's too dangerous!" Sasuke looks at her "you're still injured"
Aika jumps down from her window and lands in front of him "well no worries there, you said you'd protect me didn't you"
"...yeah" Sasuke rubs her head "let's go"
The two quickly run off.
They ran down the hall of an inn to see Itachi and his partner, both wearing black coats with red clouds on it, standing in front of Naruto with Haruto behind him.
"Naruto!" Aika shouts
"Itachi!" Sasuke shouts
"Itachi, who is this kid?" Itachi's partner asks
"He's my younger brother" Itachi replies
"Itachi Uchiha.."Sasuke growled. "I hope you're ready to die! It's just like you said, I fostered my hatred for you for all this time.." Sasuke's hand started to form chidori. "I've lived my life for one single purpose-to see you die! It ends here!"
Aika takes a step back
"You're dead! "Sasuke screams as he dragged chidori along the wall, tearing it up.
Itachi easily reached out his hand and grabbed Sasuke's wrist, causing chidori to fade. Itachi squeezed it hard enough that Sasuke's wrist snapped
"Sasuke!" Aika shouts
Naruto made a hand sign "Summoning-"
The fish guy pulled out his blade and Naruto's chakra disappeared.
"wha-"
"My blade, Samehada devours chakra" he explains and rose the sword above his head, ready to swing down on Naruto. "I'm going to take your arms!"
"Naruto!" Aika's kekkei genkai activates and she made a hand sign "phoenix soul!"
Itachi turns and looks at Aika as her entire body is set ablaze.
"Her eyes.." Itachi says "the Fenikkusu"
"Hey Itachi my blade isn't draining her chakra!" the fish guy freaks out
"interesting" Itachi says
"Let him go!" Aika makes hand signs "Fireball jutsu!"
Itachi lets go of Sasuke and dodges the attack, the fish guy does too.
"Easy there little girl, you'll burn this place down"
They turn to see Jiraiya.
"About time Pervy Sage!" Naruto shouts
"I really wish you wouldn't call me that around other people" Jiraiya complains
Aika deactivates her jutsu and her kekkei genkai.
"What king of coward would do something as low as that? Using his Sharingan to inflict an illusion genjutsu on an innocent women, all in order to separate Naruto from me. I know he's the one you're really after," Jiraiya says
Haruto stands by Jiraiya
Naruto runs over to Aika "are you alright?"
"mhm" Aika nods
"That explains how Kakashi knew" Itachi sighs "Now I understand, he learned it from you. You're right. Naruto is the prize that the Akatsuki is after and we will have him"
"No way you're getting Naruto" Jiraiya took a protective stance in front of them
Naruto takes Aika's arm but immediately lets go "ah- ow that hurt"
"eh, are you alright? What's wrong?" Aika asks worried
"it burns" Naruto opens his hand to show his slightly burned skin "...what is with your weird fire!"
"I'm sorry" Aika apologizes
"yeah it's best not to touch her after she uses phoenix soul until she learns to control it" Jiraiya sweatdrops
"eh, even pervy sage knows about your weird kekkei genkai" Naruto says surprised
"let's talk about this another time" Jiraiya turns his attention back to the Akatsuki members
"Actually, this is very convenient. I can eliminate you both at the same time,"
"S-Stay out of this" Sasuke stammers, he weakly stood up panting hard "The only one who is going to eliminate him is me!"
"Go away" Itachi says "You don't interest me at the moment."
Sasuke clenched his fist "Well, get interested!"
Itachi kicked him in the stomach, sending him towards the wall.
"Sasuke!" Aika shouts worried
"Why you.." Naruto growls
"No! Don't butt in! Mind your own business!" Sasuke screams "I told you before, I've lived my whole life for this day, this moment. This fight is mine!"
Sasuke ran but Itachi punched him which sent him flying towards the wall again.
"You haven't even lived that much of a life you idiot!" Aika shouts "what whole life?! It's been like 8 years!"
"N-not finished" Sasuke tried to get up "This fight is mine.."
'this idiot's going to get himself killed'
"So be it,"Itachi replies
Jiraiya tried to make a move but he was blocked by Itachi's partner.
"You heard him, old man. This fight is none of our business. Let's let the two of them sort it out."
Itachi walked slowly towards Sasuke "And now finally-" Itachi kneed Sasuke in the gut, elbowed him on the neck and kicked him.
"You showed him no mercy" the fish man smirks
Itachi lifted him up by the collar and pinned him against the wall. He whispered into his ear and Sasuke's eyes widened. He then let out a scream of pain.
"Isn't that heart warming?" the fish guy mused "Using Tsukiyomi on his own brother"
"Sasuke!" Aika's eyes glowed purple with 2 black feathers, one on top of black pupil, one to the bottom left
Naruto took a step back "oh no, that's a new color"
"Naruto get back!" Jiraiya shouts "that's stage 3 of the Fenikkusu!"
Naruto gets back as Aika charges at Itachi.
"genin these days" Itachi looks at her boredly before seeing the purple fire surrounding her "stage 3 at such a young age.."
Itachi jumps away and sends a fire ball at her, she dodges and Itachi appears behind her.
"it's too bad nobody's taught you properly" Itachi kicks her into the wall
"Aika!" Naruto shouts
"But I suppose everyone's too afraid to teach you.. or you'd become a threat" Itachi stares at the unconscious red head on the ground "hm.. maybe... one day.."
