Sasukes POV:
"Itachi!" I yelled at my brother whose body just thudded to the ground. I waited a second before moving because I realized he fell unconscious from being stabbed by Kabuto. My eyes turned into slits because Kabuto was really going to pay now. Nothing was going to stop me from killing this creepy snake creature. All I saw was red now.
"Oh, did I anger you, Sasuke-kun?" Kabuto hissed at me like Orochimaru used to and a slight chill fell over my body. It disgusted me more than anything.
"Shut your mouth" I said and I thrusted forward towards Itachi's body so I could grab my sword and quickly end this. I was over it. Kabuto must of saw what I was running to because he went to get the weapon himself. He might of been fast, but I was faster.
I grabbed my sword out of Itachi's hand and quickly swung towards Kabuto. He moved backwards out of time but just barely. I didn't hesitate to swing again, he kept backing up and deflecting my sword with another kunai he pulled out.
"You've become much quicker young Uchiha, Orochimaru would be proud" Kabuto scoffed at me. I ignored his words and kept making him back up. I knew that even if I did get him where I wanted him, I couldn't kill him. Itachi told me not to. I hope my brother knew that even though he was injured he was getting a rude wake up call when I got Kabuto down on his knees.
Kabuto and I danced with our weapons for about two more minutes until he finally stumbled backwards over a rock he didn't sense. I grinned knowing this was the perfect opportunity to get him. I pushed forward more than normal and stuck my sword right threw his shoulder with force. His back slammed into the wall behind him and I pushed my sword with chakra so I would pierce the wall, he was stuck.
He cried out in pain and tried to get the sword out but he couldn't with one arm. I turned quickly running towards Itachi. I looked at his body, the kunai was deeply pressed into the center of his chest. I yanked it out with force and started to shake him. I knew he would bleed heavily but it would be less painful than having metal rub itself on his insides.
"Itachi, get up!" I yelled in his face, I could see his eyes moving around under his lids, he was coming thru.
"C'mon, I need you" I yelled again and his eyes open. He looked around slowly and then his eyes opened fully. I knew it clicked in his head, he remembered where he was. He sat up quickly, instantly placing his hand over his wound, his face signaled he was in pain. That much I knew.
"Where's Kabuto?" he asked, slightly breathless.
"He's behind you, he's stuck" I informed him and he nodded his head. I helped him off the ground and we made our way back to the not so powerful sage snake now.
"I was hoping you wouldn't get back up from that" Kabuto sneered at Itachi and before Itachi could say or do anything, I punched him in the face. Kabutos head snapped to the left. Kabuto moved his head back and looked at Itachi and suddenly he looked different. I continued to stare at him, wondering what had just happened. My eyes shifted over to Itachi and I noticed his left eye was slowly turning white.
"What are you doing? Your eye, it's turning white" I said to my brother, I was worried.
"Izanami" he breathed out, placing his hand on Kabutos head now. Izanami? I had heard about it from my clans past but it was forbidden. I remained quiet until he was done casting didn't take long either. Itachi removed his hand from Kabutos head and looked at me. His Mangekyo was spinning in his right eye and his left eye was white.
"Your eye is still white.." I said, continuing to look.
"It will remain this way, I'm now blind in this eye. That's the toll of casting this" he spoke, sounding slightly sad.
"You knew you were going to be blind and yet you did it anyways?" I asked him, confusion set in and he nodded his head to confirm my question.
"Now what are you going to do?" I asked him, not sure what to do now.
"I'm going to make him tell me the hand signs to stop the controlling part of the reanimation" he said with no emotion and I just remained quiet, watching all of Kabuto's work come undone.
Hinatas POV:
"Hinata-sama, everything looks very well" my personal nurse told me as I pulled my top back down. Luckily for me our byakugan was able to see how the baby was doing inside of me and of course regular medicinal ways too.
"I'm glad" I gave her a small small and she nodded her head.
"I'll be back next week, I'm sorry if I'm being overbearing. I was your mothers nurse as well and I just want to make sure your pregnancy doesn't end up like hers" she told me with slight sadness in her voice. She wasn't wrong, health was important during a pregnancy. My mother had grown very ill and quickly when she was pregnant with my sister.
"I appreciate it" I said to her and she finished putting a couple things back in her bag. We decided that having checkups in my home was the best place because it was the most relaxing.
"I hope the rest of your day goes well, Hinata-sama" she said to me, bowing and headed towards the front door to my home and then something crossed my mind.
"Hey wait a second, I have a question," I said, taking a couple steps after her. She turned and waited for me to ask her.
"Is my sister still here by chance..?" I asked meekly, I hoped that maybe while everyone was away we could reconnect.
"She is, your father wanted her to stay behind. He didn't want anything happening to the future heir of our clan" my nurse told me and she looked like she wanted to roll her eyes and I wouldn't blame her if she did.
"I'm coming to the compound with you. Hiashi isn't here to stop me from seeing her" I told her and grabbed my jacket off the coat rack and we made our way out of the house.
"Be careful, he might not like hearing you were in the compound when he returns" Ru said to me and I just shrugged my shoulders.
"What's he going to do? Kick me out of the clan? I've been gone all these years already. He doesn't scare me" I said honestly. He really didn't, I did however have to be careful in the future if I visited Hanabi though. If anyone in that clan beside Ru and my sister found out I was pregnant, I'm not sure what would happen. There's a very large chance this baby will be born with my eyes and that's a danger in itself.
Our journey to the compound was bringing memories back to me, some of them were pleasant and some were not. But, I was going to focus on the good today since it was the first day without everyone here and I needed to calm my nerves.
"Would you like to me get her for you?" Ru asked as we stepped food into the compound. Only a few things had changed but not a lot.
"Please?" I asked her and she nodded her head, taking off in the direct my sister was in. I knew Hanabi never hated me but I also left her alone all this time to deal with this family and that in itself changes people.
"Hinata? Is that you?" I heard a squeaky voice come from the same area that Ru walked towards, it snapped my attention back and I saw her. I nearly cried happy tears, I missed her so much. She had grown so much in the almost four years since I've been gone.
She was running towards me and just wrapped her arms me to hug me.
"I missed you so much, I'm so glad you're here" Hinabi told me when she finally let go of me. We both wiped our happy tears away and laughed a little bit.
"I missed you too, you've grown so much," I said, complimenting her looks.
"Well thank you" she said, accepting my compliment awkwardly and then we just stood there for a little bit, not saying anything.
"Would you like some lunch? We have some catching up to do" she offered to me and I nodded my head, accepting her offer.
"So what's been going on in your life?" she asked me, starting the conversation. I wonder how much she knew from what my father learned of me all these years..
"First and foremost, I must tell you a secret" I said to her, ready to let her know she was going to be an aunty.
"I love secrets" she said looking at me, her eyes lighting up. I smiled at her and we continued walking down a few corridors until we were in a room, an office actually. It didn't look like my Dads office though. I wondered if this was her office for when the time came.
"You must keep this to yourself, it's very important" I told her, my voice growing serious and she gave me all her attention.
We took our seats around a small desk and she continued to wait until I opened my mouth.
"I'm pregnant" I told her, bluntly too. I watched her face grow from serious to excited all in an instant. I wasn't sure which emotion she was going to stick to, I don't think she did either.
"Are you serious?" she asked me and I nodded my head in confirmation.
"I won't tell anyone, I promise," she said again, reaching across the table to grab my hand.
"Neji knows if you ever need to talk to someone to talk to about it and mothers old nurse Ru knows too" I informed her, moving my hands away from her.
"How far along are you?" she asked me. Becoming more invested in the conversation. I was so happy she was accepting of this. I knew as future clan head it, things were going to change.
"A little over three weeks" I let her know and it was weird for me talk about still. I had a long road ahead of me and this was only the start.
"Is Itachi excited to be a father?" she asked me and my heart shattered. He wasn't excited at all, I wasn't even sure if he was going to still love me when they returned home and it bothered me greatly.
"Kakashis the father actually… and Itachi isn't thrilled with me" I told her, hoping she would understand.
"Oh.." she said sounding confused and I understood why. I had fought so hard for Itachi when he came back, helped him heal and for what? I made a terrible decision by playing with both of their hearts and I know this is karma.
"It's not really a happy time at the moment" I said honestly, I wanted to cry but I withheld my tears. I moved my hand towards my neck to play with Itachi's necklace. Sometimes I forget that I've been wearing it, it's been so long since he gave it to me.
"I would say come over sometime and meet them but I'm sure father wouldn't approve" I said to her, trying to change the subject.
"I could just lie and say Kakashi wanted to see me. He's not going to tell the Hokage know" she winked at me, giggling a little bit. She wasn't wrong, even after all clan politics, telling the Hokage no was disrespectful.
Itachis POV:
"Everything is all set, he'll be here for a while. Let's go help some more" I spoke diligently towards my brother and he continued to look at me weird. I knew he said my eye was white from the jutsu I used but I wondered how white.
"Is my eye really that bad?" I asked Sasuke as we started leaving the cave.
"It's just different.. You have the same pale white eye like a Hyuga but your black pupil still remains and its sort of creepy" he said, looking away from me now.. That was the first time in three days I had even thought of Hinata. I was still beside myself but I wondered if leaving like I had was a good idea. I shouldn't of been so blind as to what what was going on behind my back but I was.
But, right now wasn't the time to get distracted, we were in a war and a distraction could cost me my life. I was given a second chance and I intend to live it fully.
…
About an hour passed before we finally started to see fellow friendly faces but I knew I needed to find Kakashi. He would end up fighting Obito and I needed to help.
"You should probably find Naruto, he'll need all the backup he can get" I mentioned to Sasuke as we continued to run towards the last place Kakashi was.
"I would argue with you and say you need help because of your loss of vision but I won't argue with you," he said to me, shrugging his shoulders. He wasn't wrong but we all knew that Obito wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted. Not to mention Kabuto mentioned Madara and I hoped it was a lie but considering everything going on, I knew it wasn't.
From what I remember, Madara was powerful. He wanted to achieve peace but somehow our clan became distrusted and he just vanished. Can't believe our clan has been this way for all these years but it would have sooner or later regardless.
As we continued running from afar I could see Kisame on the battlefield and I grew confused because I thought he was going to be the Mizukage's bodyguard. My body was running on its own now, straight towards my friend who was fighting the remainder of whomever was animated and the white zetsus. They weren't all gone yet but I'm sure Obito had more than we realized.
"Kisame!" Sasuke yelled as we were within fifty feet of him. I watched my friend swing samehada around, cutting four zetsus in half and waited for us to catch up with him.
"Why aren't you with the Mizukage?" I asked him before anything, my curiosity needed to be controlled.
"She told me I was better off fighting on the battlefield, my skills would be much better used here" he said, rolling his eyes.
"She isn't wrong," I said to him and saw that we were safe to speak for a minute.
"Wherever you guys are headed, I'll join you" Kisame said and I nodded my head. We started our journey once more.
"I'm on the hunt for Obito or Kakashi, I know once we find one the other won't be far" I informed him.
"Kakashi is on the main battlefield, didn't you get that mind connector girls message?" he asked me, sounding confused.
"Her name is Ino and no" Sasuke said. We must of been fighting Kabuto when all of that was happening. We weren't anywhere near someone who could relay the message that the time..
"What do you mean no, haven't you been fighting with all of us?" Kisame asked.
"I don't know if you noticed my eye but let's just say I'm the reason why the reanimation jutsu is now going in a different direction" I informed him, turning my head some so he could see my eye.
…
"Kakashis over there" I said breathlessly, our running was finally over as we bee lined towards our silver haired hokage. He must of sensed us because he looked over, we made eye contact and he nodded his head. I knew that was a thank you of sorts for helping with the Kabuto problem.
"Here you guys are!" a voice shouted, one I didn't expect to hear, I looked over to see Naruto come barreling in from our sides, skidding to a stop.
"Naruto, please don't tell me you're really here" Sasuke was the first to speak, holding his forehead in aggravation.
"This is the real me, I'm here to help fight" Naruto said, punching one of his hands into the other and as if on que, an earth rumbling explosion happened.
"The hell was that?" Naurto spat and we all looked around and not far from us, a giant monster looking creature came into a video.
"I believe that's the ten tails.." Kisame mumbled but we all heard him. Is this what the Akatsuki was trying to accomplish? My eye grew wide and we watched the creature swing violently for a minute and then it finally stopped moving.
I focused my vision and finally I could see if, standing on top of the creature were two men. Obito and Madara.
"We have a fight on our hands, let's get moving" Naruto said and started running towards them.
"Naruto! Wait!" Kakashi yelled and we all started following the blonde idiot. I shouldn't say idiot, he could be smart. Except right now.. He was being dumb.
As we were making our way towards the ten tails, its head started moving violently and it opened its mouth. It took about thirty seconds before a dark red and purple energy was building in front of its mouth, it looked like a bloody misle.
It only took another moment and the beast sent the attack off, I watched it fly over hundreds of shinobi, finally landing and shaking the earth.
"How did they end up getting the ten tails if Naruto is standing here with us?" Sasuke asked out loud.
"When you want something, you'll find a way," I said bluntly, keeping my focus solely on the beast, not wanting to get hit be something that would kill me before it actually hit me. I'm sure there was some long complicated thing before achieving the ten tails without the last two tailed beast that Obito didn't have.
..
Things heated up quickly, it had been about an hour since we laid eyes on the ten tails and Naruto was doing everything in his power to keep us protected. We all had each others back but I was getting tired of playing games, something the Uchihas were especially good at doing.
"You know, it's sad to me. All four of us are Uchihas and yet we remain fighting with one another" Obito spoke from directly behind me, I spun on my heel with my arm swinging. He had moved before I got the chance to hit him.
"Why don't you two just join us?" he asked again, from behind me. He didn't teleport this time though, he just kept looking at Sasuke and I.
"I've done my fair share of bad things. I'm not going back down that path" Sasuke hissed, his sword in his right hand, ready to swing. I remained still, watching everything Obito was doing in front of us.
"Sad, that baby inside your girl would have the Uchiha protection if you did" Obito said, trying to piss me off and it worked. I shifted slightly, ready to rip his throat out.
"That child has me, it doesn't need you" Kakashi barked, running from the right a chidori ready to strike. Obito spiraled away, appearing back on top of the ten tails head again. I could feel the hate dripping off of Kakashi. I would admit that this was the first time in my life I feared him a little bit.
"Let's show them what divistation is" I heard Obito yell and the ten tail raised its mouth and hand together. Its mouth lit up, ready to throw some more bombs and its hand started growing small spikes out of it. It attacked all in one sitting. I activated my susano to wrap around Naruto as a shield, he was the most important and I'll be damned if he died next to me.
The ten tails was going rabid now, shooting off all sorts of jutsus Obito was yelling about and then suddenly he appeared above us, he was aiming for Naruto. Naruto looked up just in time to dodge out of the way, Obitos blow landing on the ground, making a small crater underneath him.
"You're not escaping this time" Kakashi yelled, he managed to grab Obito's sleeve and they looked at each other and start swirling. They were using kumai and both were vanishing.
"Kakashi Sensei!" Naruto yelled and I moved because I was the closest. I wanted to stop them because who knew what the outcome would be when that fight was over.
"Take care of things out here!" he yelled before vanishing right in front of us with Obito. My attention snapped back towards Madara, is was only him now and that's what worried me. He was ruthless, who knows what would happen.
"Wood style: cutting sprigs!" I heard Madara yell and the ten tails hand moved, shooting thousands of sharp pointing wood spears at us.
"Naruto get out of the way!" Sasuke yelled, my eyes flickered. Sasuke had managed to block Naruto from the attack but that was what I was going to and I saw it before I could move. Kisame had no coverage.
"Kisame!" I yelled, trying to move forward as quickly as possible but it was too late. I watched four pieces of wood impale my friend and his body crashed into the ground.
I dropped my jutsu and sprinted for Kisame. Sasuke and Naruto saw what happened and they followed me.
"Kisame!" I yelled, skidding to the floor on my knees.
"Is this what it takes for you to show emotion? I had to die?" Kisame coughed, trying to make a joke out of his last few minutes of life. I was in shock more than anything. How didn't I see Sasuke had Naruto, I had to protect one more person and I couldn't. Maybe only having one sharingan now was an actual problem.. Or even one eye at that.
"Tell little Hyuga I'll be watching over the real little Hyuga" he spoke softly and his eyes started to drift back and I knew his last breath was coming. My shock was wearing and my anger was building. I didn't care what it took anymore, this beast was going to die along with its caster. Obito wasn't my problem now, it was Madara..
"You're going to pay for this" I huffed under my breath, removing myself from my friends body. I turned to look at Madara, I could feel my eye was spinning out of control.
"Yeah, let's kill this bastard, Itachi" Naruto said, slapping my back and I nodded my head. I kept my eyes on Madara, I just needed to figure out a way to get close to him.
i know this is short but i feel like enough happened in it and im so damn sorry this took so long. writing the other kakashi story helped me get over writers block. also.. i really hope you guys all enjoy this and please dont hate me for killing kisame!
