(Kakashi ending)
Itachis POV:
It had been nine weeks since I sent home any word of what I was doing. I'm sure they were wondering about me but I couldn't let that distract me.
I finally found one of the people who were needed in the ritual to bring back Kaguya. After all the cold nights outside and in the rain, it could finally stop.
If I just ended them, I wouldn't need to worry about this situation anymore because one of the pieces to the puzzle would be missing.
Killing them was going to be hard though, they were surrounded by others and I was alone.
I would be lying to myself if I said I was as strong as I used to be. Missing half of your vision really does a number on you.
But I needed to do this, it was for Hinata's safety. She needed to be alive because I had one last request for her.
Kakashis POV:
"You're officially eight months pregnant today" Tsunade told us with a smile on her face.
"We're so close" Hinata whispered and I looked over at her. She looked tired and pale. Tsunade assured us she was okay, it really was just because she was tired.
"I must inform you both though. Because you're having twins, they could come early. It's nothing to worry about, its normal" she said as she packed up her small medical bag.
Tsunade decided last week she would be taking over for the rest of Hinata's pregnancy. It relieved me knowing that since she was the best medic in our current time. But I also think it's because she was bored and had nothing better to do.
"I'm going to be checking on you every two days from here on out. It might seem overbearing but I assure you it's not" she said.
"No problem" I told her and she nodded her head. She started heading towards the door to leave and I looked over at Hinata. She looked sleepy.
"I want to nap before you and Neji fight later" she said quietly and pulled the blanket over herself and closed her eyes.
"I completely forgot about that," I said to her and gave her a kiss on the head before I left our bedroom.
This was a test to see if he was still physically capable of being a ninja. Heart problem or not. I needed to know, it would pain me to pull him off the ninja roster.
At least I would still grant him permission to lead the anbu, even if it was from a desk
"Are you ready for this?" I asked Neji.
It was time. We were standing in the backfield of the Uchiha district. Hiashi, Hanabi, Sasuke, Sakura, Tenten and Hinata had all come to watch. I was glad Sakura was here too, we didn't think to invite a medic to watch in case. But things happen for a reason.
"Yes" Neji said fiercely and I could see it in his eyes.
"Neji, please remember that at any point if you don't feel okay. It's okay to stop" I reminded him as we both slipped into positions.
He nodded his head and he activated his bloodline. That was the signal to start.
I watched from a tree not to far away. As soon as he activated his bloodline I had vanished away, leaving behind a shadow clone.
"Air palm" he shouted.
One attack came flying at the tree I was in and the other one hit my clone.
I leaped back onto the ground, my clone vanished too.
"If you think I would ever fall for that" he said and sent more air palms in my direction.
I dodged them quickly when I put up a wall so I wouldn't get hit.
"Air palm" I heard again but it was really close. His hand came threw my wall and I tumbled backwards.
When the hell did he move? He was serious about beating me. He was fighting with rage.
"Four palms" he said and tried to hit my points. I moved out of the way and made the hand signs for a fireball.
I sent the flame towards him and I knew he was going to deflect with a rotation.
One he was in there, I was going underground.
It was exactly like when Hanabi and I fought, except I knew Neji. He knew me. This was going to be harder.
I waited for the vibration of his rotation to end before I sprung out of the ground. I gave him no time. I flood my hand with some chakra to make sure my hit would knock him out.
"Eight palm mountain crusher" he said as I was coming out of the ground. Shit.
His attack landed right into my chest as my fist connected with my face.
I felt like my entire body just broke as I hit the ground. I had seen him use that jutsu before, he broke boulders with it and I'm sure I broke a few ribs.
I laid on the ground since I couldn't move but I had to because I couldn't quit like this.
I tried my hardest to get up and it wasn't working as fast as I would like.
If I can get a chidori off and he could dodge, I knew he would be fine in the field.
Ding.
I looked to my right to see a kunai stuck to the ground with a paper bomb.
I jumped out of the way and my vision became covered from the dust kicking off the ground from the small bomb.
I knew he could see me but I couldn't see him so I hoped my ears wouldn't let me down.
I was used to the sound of the chidori so listening for Neji would be easy for me.
I pushed all my chakra to my right arm and I held it with my left. I listened for him, he was to the left of me and I charged.
I hoped Neji could deflect me because trying to stop myself was hard.
I cleared past the dust and Neji was holding his stance. He wasn't moving. Should I try and stop?
I was nearly fifteen feet away from him and he his hands lit up.
"Eight-trigrams" he said and his arms started moving. Was he going to hit me with one-hundred and sixty-four palms? Could he avoid my chidori?
His rotations kept moving faster and heavier and my chidori went forward.
From the brute strength of his clan jutsu, he avoided getting pierced in the chest but the lightning went over both of our bodies.
I was almost used to it but it was hot and fast and he didn't stop moving.
"One hundred and sixty four" he growled and I felt his fingers jab my shoulder. This was it, he was going to win.
It felt like rocks being thrown at my body. Hanabi and Hinata didn't nearly hit as hard as he did.
The last hit had made me fall backwards and he was out of breath. He did get hit with lightning particles.
I was spread out in the grass and he was on his knees.
"Do you feel okay?" I choked out. I couldn't feel my body.
"Aside from chakra exertion. I feel great. I made sure to putt every ounce of chakra in my rotation" he said and got off the ground. He held his hand out to me and I couldn't lift my arm to take it.
"I think I'm gonna lay here for a few" I said honestly.
"Hinata can unlock some points for you if you want to get up" he laughed a bit and waved everyone over.
It didn't take long for everyone to come over to us.
"Neji let me heal your Sakura said and automatically let her hands do the work. He got some small burns from the lightning frantically trying to find somewhere to go when it hit.
"Do you need some help?" Hinata asked and appeared to stand over me and I nodded my head.
Her bloodline activated and she didn't take a second hesitation. She opened enough of the blocks so I could walk.
"I'm really not enjoying your families art form" I huffed as I sat up. Everyone laughed a little bit.
"So is Neji officially still a ninja?" Tenten asked and everyone looked at me.
"Yes" I said and got up off the ground. I couldn't think of a witty remark to give them so yes would do.
"Yay!" Tenten said happily and gave Neji a hug.
"Your heart seems to be fine too. Just be careful" Hinata spoke and her normal eyes came back.
"How did you dodge the chidori like that? He was aiming to kill" Hanabi asked her cousin.
"I honestly put all my strength into my last rotation and hoped for the best," he said. Sounding embarrassed.
"You actually did something without thinking about it?" Hanabi asked her face was full of surprise and he nodded.
"You sure you didn't injure your brain too? I never thought I'd hear the day my cousin would do something foolish" Hanabi said and I laughed. Everyone joined me, including Hiashi.
For the first time in a long time, everything was okay.
"I would like to speak to you two" Hiashi said looking at Hinata and I. We both nodded our heads and started following him.
"Is everything okay?" Hinata asked and I tried my best to keep up with them.
"The elders know about your engagement" he started the conversation. My heart raced for a second because I honestly thought he was going to say something different.
"Which isn't a problem, the problem is that they want to throw you a party for it. Next week" he said, looking at us. My eyes grew wide, as did Hinatas.
"That's not possible" Hinata said quickly and put her hands on her stomach.
"I'm aware, that's why I came to you. Would you happen to have any Hokage business you could move ahead of schedule?" He asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
Then I got quiet and thought, I couldn't think of anything off hand.
"I'll have to go check with Sasuke, I'm not sure" I said honestly and Hinata looked nervous now.
"Let me know, I'll keep thinking" Hiashi said and I nodded my head.
"We're actually all caught up on everything.." Sasuke said looking at his small appointment book.
"This isn't good" I sighed out loud and closed mine in the process.
"You could just go on vacation in a few days" he suggested and I raised my head to look at him. Hokage don't normally go on vacation but it is plausible.
"Not a bad idea, actually. I just need to time it right and hopefully when we get back Hinata goes into labor" I pointed out.
"You need to take a medic with you though" he reminded me.
"I'm sure Tsunade wouldn't mind coming with us. But the real question is, can you handle the village by yourself while I'm gone?" I asked him and waited. Being my assistant is one thing but actually having control over the village is different.
"More than likely. It's not like something catastrophic is going to happen" he said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Then it's settled" I declared and sat back in my chair to think of where to go.
"You should probably tell Hiashi-sama" he spoke again and I nodded my head. I'm sure this was a viable excuse.
"I suppose I'll go do that then" I said and got up from my seat to leave the office. I winced a bit getting up, some of my joints were still blocked from my fight earlier.
"I'll come with you" Sasuke said and we left.
I really hoped this was an okay answer for the Hyuga elders because if not there wasnt any damn way to hide Hinata.
"Were here to see Hiashi" I said to the guard at the front gate.
"Yes, Hokage-sama" he said, bowing to me and opened up the front gate for his to go inside.
"He's in his office" they said as we walked into the compound some more.
Itachis POV:
"Are you that eager to die?" someone said to me as I was clutching my side. I was trying to stop the bleeding but it wasn't working. The wound was larger than both of my hands were.
I had killed everyone around us except for one of the Kaguya experiments and their friend.
"You've confused me with someone who gives up at the sight of blood" I mustered out and made some space between us with a fireball.
I leaped back but then I felt something wrap around my foot and I was slammed into the ground.
It took the wind out of me but I knew it wasn't time to lay there.
"Amaterasu" I whispered out and made sure to aim it at the non Kaguya experiment. He lit ablaze and now it was just one and one. Not one on eight.
"I'm impressed that the great Uchiha killer can still keep the fight along, even with one eye" the Kaguya follower said with a sadistic laugh.
"I don't enjoy fighting but since something special to me is in danger, I'll fight until my last breath," I said, finally getting off the ground.
The pain in my side was increasing the more I moved.
The enemy did not waste anymore time talking and started throwing bone kunai at me.
I dodged the best I could but I was slower than his attack. I was struck in all different spots on my body. I fell again.
The sound of cracking made me look closer and he was morphing.
He had made a sword like mechanism out of his forearm and came charging right for me.
If he hit me, it was over.
"Time to die, Uchiha" the enemy hissed and I ran out of time.
I held my arms in front of me and waited for the afterlife.
"Dance of the Shikigami!" A woman yelled and I peeked through my arms to see the enemy lying on the ground, dead. They were pierced to death with a million pieces of paper.
Konan?
I looked up to see my old teammate floating to the ground.
"You're alive?" I asked meekly. Maybe I would evade death once more.
"I need to get you to safety," was all she said and started coming closer to me.
I started having brief flashbacks of when I was joining the Akatsuki and my life before that.
"If going with you means joining another criminal organization. I don't want your help" I mumbled out and laid on my back trying to ignore her.
I closed my eyes and let the rain fall over my face. Maybe it would wash away the pain.
"Itachi, don't close your eyes" she said frantically and I could feel her putting her arms in the correct places to lift me.
"I did what I had to do" I whispered and I started to feel cold. Maybe I wasn't going to evade death after all.
Kakashis POV:
I opened the front door to my home and felt relieved. I never thought talking about a vacation with everyone would be so stressful and time consuming. But at least everything was in order and we could leave in the morning.
I did however need to start packing for Hinata and I and so I headed towards our room.
As I got closer to the bedroom, I could hear the shower running and I smirked under my mask.
I opened the bedroom door and started stripping as I walked to the bathroom.
Even at eight months pregnant, she still looked like a goddess to me. I couldn't wait to see what the little humans were going to look like inside of her.
"We're going on vacation" I whispered into her ear as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.
The feel of warm water felt incredible on my skin. It was stripping away the cold and soreness of Neji's attack from earlier.
"That's relieving to hear" she whispered and moved her head to the side, giving me more access.
"We leave in the morning," I said and bit her neck a bit. I heard a soft moan come from her throat and I moved my hands down the front of her chest.
"How long are we going to be gone for?" She asked and wrapped her arms around my neck. My hands moved onto her breasts and I started playing with them. Another soft moan escaped from her and I continued growing harder.
"Two weeks" I said and she finally turned her head to face me, pulling me into a deep kiss.
I was sure by now she didn't care about the rest of the conversation, I know I didnt.
She ended flipping us around so now I was fully under the water and that in itself had me on cloud nine.
She broke out kisses and started moving down my body.
"You don't have to" I whispered to her, I knew she barely had energy lately and I didnt want her to waste what she did have on me.
Then she grabbed it with one hand and started stroking. Well, I guess speaking to her went in one ear and right out the other.
I bent my head back and my body was in a high state of ecstasy.
Sasuke's POV:
A week had passed since Kakashi, Hinata, Shizune and Tsunade left for their vacation and I was bored.
"Sasuke, we brought food" Naruto said as he flung the door open to the Hokage's office.
"Just because Kakashi isn't here, doesn't mean you can walk in" Sakura said, walking behind Naruto.
"It's only Sasuke" Naruto said and shrugged. I rolled my eyes but I was accepting of it now. Even when Kakashi was here, it didn't stop Naruto from walking into this office.
Not that I minded either. Being around Kakashi so much and watching his struggle with Hinata, good or bad. I've learned open feelings are the best ones and I was trying my best to be open with my team.
I would deny that Naruto, was in fact, my best friend until I was blue in the face. But he was and Sakura.. well, that was a different story.
The day Itachi left, it made me realize I did love Sakura and I always have. I wouldn't let her know that though.
"I hope you're hungry, Sasuke" she said, breaking me of my thoughts as she placed the food on the desk.
Lunch was going great, it was probably the first time we hadn't argued.
Then the office door was kicked open and Neji was standing in the doorway, panting.
We locked eyes and I didn't like his facial expression.
"Its urgent" he said and was holding a scroll. My heart started to race, I knew who the scroll was from. I could just barely see the tail of crow sticking out from underneath where Neji's hand was clutching it.
"Should we leave?" Sakura asked and I nodded my head. They quickly gathered their things and left the office, closing the door behind them.
Neji stepped forward and handed me the scroll and I opened it slowly.
Sasuke,
By the time this reaches you. I will have already taken my last breath. I'm sorry you had to read a scroll about my death. I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you but you turned out okay. My body is in our families hideaway. I wrote everyone else a note too. Please don't be angry with me, I fought my best. I'll see you again someday.
Your onii chan, Itachi
I gripped the paper tighter and read it over and over again. He was joking right? He couldn't possibly be gone. He wasn't allowed to die.
I looked up and Neji had a silent tear coming down his face. Neji never cried, maybe something was in his eye.
"He's lying" I whispered and placed the scroll on the desk.
Neji and I were waiting for everyone to come back home at the gates of the village. This last week flew by.
We needed to get to Itachi immediately. It was priority. I knew he was still alive, that was just his way of asking for help.
"They should be coming over the hill any second now" Neji said with no emotion.
That second seemed like a lifetime.
But alas, I could see Kakashi's pointed silver hair peeking into view. They all seemed so happy. I looked at Neji and he was keeping a poker face.
"Hi guys" Hinata said happily as they were in front of us.
Neji grabbed Kakashi and Tsunade away without hesitation and pulled him away from the girls. I watched them talk and Kakashi's shoulders dropped.
"C'mon girls, we need to have one last adventure. Let the boys be" Tsunade said, taking Hinata and Shizune with her as she walked by me.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry. I should have never let him leave the village" Kakashi said to me once it was only the three of us.
"Hes okay, that's just his way of asking for help," I told him. Didn't they know Itachi by now? He survived everything.
We finally made it to my family's hideout. It only took two hours, but we were here.
I bit my thumb a bit and pressed it into the correct spot on the door to open it. You could only get here if you had Uchiha blood, it was the safest place for my family.
"Itachi?" I asked out loud as we walked further inside the place. My voice echoed off the walls but there was only one place he could be.
We continued to move and finally I saw a torch on the wall was lit.
"At least he's not sitting in the dark" I said to Kakashi and Neji.
"Itachi" I said again and rounded the corner into the open room. More torches were lit on the walls and he as lying on the floor.
"Itachi" I said again, but louder as I got closer. The closer I got, the more he wasn't responding.
I was finally standing over him and kneeled down next to him.
"Itachi" I said again and started shaking his shoulder to wake him.
He just needed help, why wasn't he waking up?
"Itachi" I said again, moving him harder.
"Onii chan, wake up!" I yelled and my voice cracked. My eyes started stinging and the body of my brother was becoming blurry.
He was gone, he truly had left me. I was officially the last Uchiha and my heart split in two.
"Come back to me" I cracked out and I put my head on his chest. How could he?
"You left me onii chan.." I whispered threw my tears and clutched his shirt in my hand. My eyes were closed but the tears wouldn't stop. It hurt so bad, I could feel my heart. Every second of its beating and breaking.
"We need to bring him home" Kakashi said, placing a hand on my back.
"Hes safest here" I barked back at Kakashi as I lifted my head off my brother to look at him.
"He needs to have a proper burial, Sasuke" he said softly to me and I could see it was getting to him also but I didn't care. He didn't just lose his brother.
"He wouldn't be dead if it wasn't for Hinata" I spat at him and I could feel my sharingan spinning to life.
"He left on his own free will, just like you did all that time ago" he said and my anger was coming out.
"No, he left because of her!" I finally screamed and he pulled me into a hug. It was weird but it was what I needed and i didnt know it.
The tears wouldn't stop either. It was getting worse as we sat here.
"Let's get him home" Kakashi finally said after who knows how long we sat here and cried over Itachi.
Hinata's POV:
"Did they say where they were going?" I asked Tsunade as we sat in the Hokage office. If felt weird being here and seeing Tsunade sit in that chair.
Then the office door opened and Kakashi walked in, he looked upset.
"Sorry that took so long" he said and took a seat next to me on the couch.
"Do you want your seat back?" Tsunade asked and I looked at her. I didn't realize it before but she also looked upset.
"No that's okay" Kakashi said and he grabbed my hands in his.
"I need to tell you something" he said softly and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, my eyebrow raised.
He remained quiet and I didn't like it. Not even a little bit. He took a deep breath and looked puzzled on how to speak.
"Hinata" Tsunade said and I turned towards her.
"Itachi has passed away" she said softly and I almost didn't hear her. What did she just say?
I felt the tears coming to the brim of my eyes.
"That's why Kakashi, Sasuke and Neji left when you got back. They went and retrieved his body" Tsunade continued speaking and everything started feeling fuzzy.
"I'm gonna be sick" I said and the tears started falling. This wasn't real. I was dreaming.
"Ow" I said between tears and held my stomach.
"What's the matter?" Kakashi asked, placing his hands over mine.
Then the pain came again and the underneath me became warm and wet.
"She's going into labor. Get her home and I'll be there in a bit" Tsunade barked and Kakashi picked me up.
I continued crying from the pain in my stomach and the pain in my heart. He was moving fast along the rooftops to the district.
"Is he really gone?" I choked out and clutched Kakashi's shirt in my hand.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered to me and started moving faster.
We made it to our bedroom and he set me up against some pillows.
"You're going to have to start pushing soon" Tsunade said to me as she pulled the sheet back over my legs.
I looked at her and she was starting to become blurry.
"It hurts to much" I whispered and laid my head back.
"Hinata" someone said and shook me a little bit and I closed my eyes.
I reopened my eyes and everything was white, where the hell was I?
I finally turned around and could see the leaf village. Why was I outside? I was about to give life to my children.
"Hinata.." a woman said and I froze. I haven't heard that voice since I was a small child.
I looked up to see my mother and I ran without thinking.
"Mother" I said with happy tear filled eyes as I crashed into her open arms.
"Where am I?" I asked her while I sniffled and she created space between us.
"You're certainly not dead, if that's what you're truly wondering" she said and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I'm so happy to see you. I have so much to tell you" I said and she smiled.
"I know everything daughter, but we don't have much time" she said, looking sad.
"You can't leave me again" I said and the sad tears started to form. I grabbed her hand in mine.
"Just know that you will be a great mother and I've never left you" she said sweetly as she twirled the ring that was on my finger. Her ring.
"I wish you were still with us," I admitted.
"I know Hinata, I know" she smiled again.
"Tell your father I'm watching and to remember our promise or I will start haunting him. And tell Hanabi I'm so proud of her, even if she doesn't remember me" she said, giving me a kiss on the forehead and she vanished from in front of me.
I was alone again, looking at the leaf village. This time I felt a little better being here after seeing my Mom. I needed that so much and I didnt realize it.
"Little Hyuga" a male said and a smile instantly appeared on my face. It was Kisame.
I turned to see him and next to him was Itachi and my smile completely vanished.
Anger filled my vision and all I saw was him.
He left without saying goodbye, for a third time.
"You left me again!" I yelled and started stomping towards them.
"Hinata" Kisame said, stepping in front of me before I could touch Itachi.
"I'm happy to see you," he said, pulling me into a hug.
"I've been hanging out with your Mom a lot. I thought it was you when I got here" he admitted and let me go.
"Really?" I asked him, I wasn't expecting that.
"Yes, you're just like her too" he said and scratched the back of his head.
"I miss you" I said to him and we continued to look at each other.
"I miss you too little Hyuga and don't give me a proper headstone. I like what you two did" he said and vanished. Why was everyone vanishing before I could talk to them more.
I looked up and it was now just Itachi and I.
"Hinata.." he said and touched my face. I grabbed his hand with mine and we just stared at each other.
"You left me again.. I'm never going to see you again" I whispered and the anger vanished.. the sadness was coming back. My emotions were running wild up here.
"I'm sorry but I died to protect you" he admitted and placed his forehead on mine.
"You were supposed to come home" I said and looked into his eyes. He had both of his eyes back and I never thought I'd see them both again.
"I'll be okay, I have Kisame" he said and i could see the tears welling in his eyes.
"I love you, Hinata. I left you a note" he said and I could feel his lips hovering above mine.
I couldn't speak, my heart was breaking all over again.
"Don't let Sasuke follow in my footsteps" he said softly and kissed me. I kissed him back with all I had in my heart, it was truly time to say goodbye to him. I would never get this chance again and it felt right.
It only felt right because a huge part of my life was going to leave and I couldn't do anything about it.
"I love you too, Itachi" I told him, breaking the kiss.
We looked into each other's eyes one last time and his sharingan swirled.
"I'm always with you," he said and my entire world got heavy.
"Hinata!" Someone yelled again and my eyes flashed opened and Tsunade was shaking my leg.
"Oh thank kami, you're back" Kakashi said, kissing my forehead.
"We almost lost you" he whispered to me and kissed my shoulder this time instead.
I looked around to see everyone in the bedroom, looking relieved I woke up.
I looked up the ceiling and sighed in relief. I'm happy I got to see everyone but I'm happier I was here with these babies.
