A/N: All right! Finally, I updated chapter 103. I'm supposed to post here two days since my beta reader just finished editing, but I had a problem with my left arm. It got weird for some reason. I'm lefty, so I can't type with my just right hand. :P But at least my left arm got little better.
Vegeta: HMPH! So weak!
Me: What did you call me?!
Vegeta: You're so weak! Got a problem with me?
Me: Yes, I do. Why would you think I'm weak?
Vegeta: Of course, you're weak. No Saiyan could feel weak like that. No matter what, it won't interfere with their fighting, because we are a true Saiyan! You're not Saiyan!
Me: (Sighs) Of course, I'm no Saiyan! Did you forget that I'm Earthling! Oh, and... someone wants to see you.
Vegeta: Huh? Who?
Ghost Nappa: Veeeeeegeeeeta! Look, I just caught Pokemon here! (shows Pokemon ball to Vegeta)
Vegeta: DAMMMMMMIT, NAPPA! (Runs away)
Ghost Nappa: Vegeta?! Wait! I want to show you more Pokemon! (Chases after Vegeta)
Me: (Smirks) Weak, he says? Afraid of ghost, huh? Wait... There's Pokemon even in space? Oh, boy... I hope he didn't catch aliens that aren't Pokemon.
Naru-Kun97: What's up, everyone!? =D (Audience goes crazy.) I'm here to help murderdeath21 once again edit his story! ^_^ And without further ado, let the chapter begin! ^_^
Disclaimer: Thank you, Naru-Kun97! Now with disclaimer... I don't own DB/DBZ/DBS or Naruto/Naruto Shippuden! Now, enjoy the chapter! :D
Chapter 103: Fye vs Itachi Part 1!
Age 763, December 1- Forest, Land of Fire, Planet Element- Fye vs Itachi
A few kilometers away from Tanzaku Quarters, Fye and Itachi stood on opposite branches, staring at each other with their Mangekyo Sharingans.
Tobi and Zetsu stood atop a nearby tree branch surveying the two.
'How will you beat him, Fayre?' thought Obito.
Silence filled the air, as they stared at each other attempting to anticipate their plans for the future battle.
Fye was the first to break the silence, as he shrugged and chuckled.
"That's why you asked me to create a clone and relocate to different battlefield, so we can fool Deidara to think our clones are real? But it seemed like you knew that Deidara was going to attack us so I guess that explains a lot why Deidara held a grudge for Uchiha. But I have to ask, what was the point of deceiving him with our clones?" Fayre asked his opponent.
Itachi paused and closed his eyes before sighing and opening his eyes again. "Because I want you to fight at your best as I can. I also do not wish for him to distract us from each other as I suspected he might attack us anytime soon, so we used a clone as bait to fool him, so he could die in vain."
"Hn…" Fye grunted at first before chuckling in amusement. "I thought you were running away, but it was indeed a clever plan. Tricking Deidara like that and having him dying in vain. He'd probably be embarrassed once he found out in the afterlife."
"Yes, he deserved to be shut down as what he did was incredibly foolish. He greatly risked his life to attack so blindly against us which ensured his death. However, as much as I suspect it, you're blinded by your hatred and thirst for vengeance. For those who have generated so much hatred and vengeance, it will only lead you to your death one day," Itachi warned emotionlessly as Fye's mouth twitched as he scowled.
"What?! Are you implying that I'm going to die because of my hatred and vengeance?!" Fye asked Itachi enraged as Itachi stared calmly at Fye.
"Yes, that's what happened to Deidara. His hatred for the Uchiha and his thirst for vengeance led him to commit suicide, desperately hoping to drag us with him to the afterlife, but we both know what just happened and what happened to him will also happen to you, Fayre-sensei." Itachi calmly explained.
Fake Tree- With Coola, Paradox and Guure
"There… Inside that tree." Coola stated, as he pointed at the tree over there. He always suspected the real Pain actually was hiding somewhere nearby Tanzaku Quarters, but it turned out that he was inside of a tree.
'There's two Ki inside that tree, huh?'Coola asked amazed whileParadox was dumbfounded, as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Huh? Where are they exactly?" Paradox asked bewildered.
Coola pointed directly at the tree as he repeated himself, "Inside that tree."
"So…" Paradox began, still confused as he began to question Coola and pointed at the tree, "Wait… You're saying they're inside that tree? I can sense them, but how the hell are they inside that tree?!"
"Because it's a fake tree that is made of paper, moron!" stated Guure plainly as he was quiet for a while since they walked out of Tanzaku Quarters. His expression was sour due to his hatred of Paradox.
"SHUT UP!" Paradox snapped at Guure before adding, "Don't think for a second that I forgot what you just did to me, bastard!" Paradox yelled as he was agitated at the presence of Guure since their fight though he was relieved that Fye was still alive. He never believed that Fye planned to betray Coola soon, as Guure claimed due to there being no evidence of that.
"Calm down, both of you guys." Coola said with a little annoyance in his tone before continuing, "If you continue to bicker, you will give me no choice but to kill you both." He finished as he walked into the fake tree, while Guure and Paradox shut their mouths.
'Oh man!He's really serious about killing us! I'd better shut up for now. I certainly wouldn't want to be on his bad side!"'Paradox thought before he sighed with relief, as he walked along with Guure into the fake tree.
Once Coola got in, he immediately found Nagato, the real Pain, and Konan. He smirked, as they were glaring at him with Konan being the one to primarily glare at him while Nagato remained calm.
"Now you have found me, Coola," stated Nagato calmly.
He knew there was no way to defeat Coola, especially after witnessing his power while controlling Six Path of Pain. He closed his eyes as he had a feeling that Konan and he would see their deaths very soon.
"What do you want? I assume you're here to kill me, or are you here to ask me a question first?" asked Nagato curiously.
Coola chuckled lightly before answering, "Actually, there's a few questions I'd like know. First, I'd like to know your name, assuming that your name isn't Pain."
"Nagato." replied Nagato quickly.
"Nagato?" Coola repeated, though he wanted to know more. "May I ask your surname, if you do have one?"
"Uzumaki. Uzumaki Nagato." Nagato answered Coola again as he didn't understand why Coola needed to know his name, though, perhaps it was common for aliens to know the names of their opponents before slaying them.
Coola looked surprised but dismissed it as he smirked.
"Oh, Uzumaki, huh? Ring any bells, Paradox, Guure?" Coola asked his men.
"Uzumaki? Yes, indeed. I recall Naruto having that similar surname. Uzumaki Naruto, wasn't it?" asked Guure as he had an excellent memory.
"What?! Why would you create a criminal organization just to capture all Jinchuuriki including Naruto who's your relative?!" Paradox shocked.
"He's not a close relative but a distant one perhaps," Nagato simply replied.
"Might I inquire to know why you wish to capture such a Jinchuuriki like Naruto? What's your purpose?" Coola asked again.
Nagato sighed before asking, "It seems that you did not come here just to kill me, but you wish to hear my story, correct?"
"Nagato!" cried Konan as she began to think that Nagato had given up if he was willing to tell his story to their current enemy.
"No, Konan." Nagato reassured her before continuing, "If we're going to die, then there's no reason to deny his request. There will be no pain when we will face our death soon and it's the least I can do for the two of us."
Konan was about to protest, but Nagato ignored her, as he continued to reassure her. "With our current powers, we're no match for Coola." Konan didn't like this, but she had to accept it so she frowned but chose to stay silent.
"Coola, you will give us a painless death when I'm done telling my story. I do not wish to see what'll become of the world that I've desired peace of after I'm done with my tale." said Nagato though it wasn't request but more of a demand.
Coola smirked as he saw Paradox and Guure tense as they knew Coola would not take a demand very kindly. Though, Nagato was an exception because he wanted to listen to Nagato's reasoning for capturing all Jinchuuriki as well as finding out how will capturing all Jinchuuriki serve their purpose for peace.
"Fine. There's nothing we can do. After all, I'm waiting for Fye to finish his fight with his opponent. You have two hours left. Begin your story." Coola stated.
As in two hours, he would begin invading Konohagakure just to find Naruto hence why he chose to listen to Nagato's story since he needed something to keep him busy, so Nagato's story would be best for him to kill time.
"Let's start with my early life during Second Shinobi World War…" Nagato began.
Forest- Fye vs Itachi
Fye shot him Itachi an angry glare before yelling, "Shut up! You have no idea what I'm going through!"
Itachi was silent as Fye continued.
"I had a family! I loved Mom and Nii-san so much. No matter what people said about him being a failure of an Uchiha, I loved him as my big brother! I always thought of him as the greatest Uchiha I've ever seen! It was a great family until Dad killed Mom over an argument, so I had to kill him! That day, it was my first time to activate the Sharingan! Though, we had no place to live in. Nii-san asked Uncle Fugaku—that's right, your father—to move in with him but he turned us down! He left us to live on the street for a week! Gratefully, the Sandaime Hokage gave us money to rent an apartment in the Uchiha compound. Then, after the Third Shinobi World War ended, I came back to Konoha, only to find out that my Nii-san died! When I saw Kakashi, he had a Sharingan! That's when I knew it was my brother's Sharingan. He must have activated his Sharingan at some point during the war. Hatake Kakashi is Nii-san's killer!" Fye ranted as Itachi stared at him emotionally as he listened to enough of Fye's ranting today.
"Did you know that the Uchiha have the Curse of Hatred? We, the Uchiha, are very devoted to love and friendship, despite our usual concealment of affectionate traits. But when our affection is lost, our love turns into pure hatred, leaving us inclined to do anything and everything in our power to achieve our goals and show our own superiority, regardless of the consequences and repercussions of our actions. The more you desire power, the more corrupted you are. The despair of these experiences have caused a manifestation of unique chakra within an Uchiha's brain, impacting the optic nerves and creating the Sharingan. In other words, you are a victim of the Curse of Hatred and if you continue, you won't survive much longer, Fayre-sensei." Itachi calmly explained.
"Shut up!" Fayre yelled as he scowled before continuing, "Says the guy who massacred the ENTIRE Uchiha clan! Do you know how sick you are when you murder your own parents, and left massive trauma on your own younger brother?! Not even I would do that! Not even Obito-niisan would do that… if he was ALIVE! So I wonder if you really broke the Curse of Hatred, as you claimed. I don't know what grudge you held against Uchiha, but I'm won't forgive you for wiping my entire clan! Since I've heard about the tragedy of the Uchiha clan, you're under my top 3 people on my list to kill. I won't acknowledge you as my student ANY LONGER!" Fye yelled as his eyes evolved from an angry look to a murderous look, as he leapt from the branch he stood on towards the branch where Itachi currently stood on.
Itachi watched him with his Sharingan, as Fye came closer and closer and he drew his kunai from his pouch before his opponent would reach the branch but the moment Fye nearly touched the branch with his feet, he disappeared instantly!
Itachi froze and widened his eyes in shock before thinking, 'He's faster than I expected him to be!'
He sensed that Fye was going to attack him from the behind as he glanced around spotting Fye's katana.
'He even summoned his katana in a split-second!' Itachi thought amazed as Fayre swung his katana and successfully impaled the katana in his chest, spraying blood from Itachi.
Fye gloated smirking, but was shocked when 'Itachi' turned out to replace himself with a log.
'Kawarimi no Jutsu?!'Fye thought before he suddenly felt a sharp object stabbed into his back, wounding him and bleeding him. He screamed in the pain before he, himself, disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Itachi was amazed at how much Fye could fool him.
'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? So there were three clones the whole time?! That must mean the real one has been hiding since the beginning!'Itachi thought as he immediately was on his guard, looking around, hoping to find the real Fayre, though, there was no sign of him.
'Where is he?'Itachi thought, as he scouted the forest thoroughly before he spotted an arrow heading for him from his side. Itachi luckily stepped back to evade the arrow, which stuck into the bark of a tree as he looked to his side, assuming that Faye would be there since the arrow came from there. He was going to leap over there, but instead, he surprisingly spotted another arrow heading for him from his other side. He rolled over on the branch to avoid the arrow and ran along the tree before another arrow flew towards him, as he jumped before it plunged into the tree again and as he back flipped on mid-air, he was in trouble, as two arrows headed for him; one in front of him and other one on his right side.
Itachi had no idea where Fayre was actually at though, he finished back flipping, as he hurried to grab both kunai while blocking both of them, but, to his surprise, a blindsided arrow managed to graze through his right arm. A little ounce of blood spilled from his arm.
'So one of them were behind me,'Itachi realized as he landed on the ground, carefully scanning the forest to avoid another arrow before continuing, 'I don't think he can use too much Kage Bunshin no Jutsu so it must be his technique that I'm not aware of it.'
Somewhere in the forest, Fye was hiding as he watched Itachi like a hawk and smirked.
'So I guess I scored a first hit. Good thing I placed an arrow on each branch from the beginning, so I can use my eyes to manipulate them while I'm using this bow and arrow to attack you. Furthermore, you can't find out where I am. I'm also confusing you with these arrows from all sides. Now… let's see if you can dodge this.'Fye thought as he spotted the arrow on the branch a few yards away from him on the right while his Mangekyo Sharingan spun around.
'What will you do in this situation when you're cornered like this?'Fye thought before manipulating an arrow to move towards his opponent at a high speed.
Itachi recently spotted the high-speed arrow before barely dodging it.
'Now, it's faster than last time, though, it was a badly aimed one though if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to survive it. Now, where will he throw the next one? I assume…'Itachi thought as Fye was impressed.
'He's so good. He even anticipated the next move of my arrows. That's why he's a child prodigy like I was. There has to be at least one child prodigy per generation and when there's two prodigies that clash there will be a battle the means of which no one has ever seen before! Now next arrow will be harder, but can you dodge this, though?'Fye wondered as Itachi rapidly moved his eyes around, attempting to spot Fye hiding somewhere among the forest.
'Where is he? Where will the next arrow go this time? Behind me!'Itachi realized as he jumped, while the arrow hit the ground, barely missing it though, much to his surprise, he saw another arrow coming directly towards at him from another direction and he used his kunai to deflect the arrow before he landed on the ground.
'Good, good!'Fye smirked smugly before thinking, 'I don't think you can predict it this time! Aim for his right thigh!'Fye thought as he put his arrow on the bow as he pulled the string before releasing it, rocketing towards Itachi as he managed to stick his arrow into Itachi's thigh, greatly wounding him.
Itachi managed to restrain himself from screaming, as he carefully removed the arrow from his right thigh before thinking, 'I didn't see that coming but this time, his aiming was accurate along with his precision though unlike the previous arrows, it struck my thigh. Wait… All arrows before were a little off, but this arrow managed to hit my thigh without me seeing it coming."Itachi thought as he tried to move, but he could not, thanks to his right leg being damaged.
'If this one was good aiming, then… where it came from must be exactly where he's at right now. But first, I need to confirm the whereabouts of his location before I can make a move.'Itachi thought as he tried to plan his next course of action whilefrom a distance, Fye laughed silently.
'I have damaged your right leg, which means you're currently staggered. It's over! Say goodbye to this world, murderer!'Fye thought as he aimed his bow and arrow at Itachi's head and kept it steadily, but didn't shoot immediately.
'Damn, just shoot it! Why am I hesitating? I shouldn't hesitate! I didn't hesitate during the fight against Gai, but why am I hesitating against this murderer? I shouldn't spare the murderer who wiped my entire clan by himself! DAMMIT! JUST SHOOT IT ALREADY!' Fye thought as he shook his hands, while trying to shoot but couldn't for some reason as he just stared at Itachi, while remembering the day he met him.
Flashback Began- Age 747, April 10- Training Ground, Konohagakure- With Fayre
"Oh, shit! Shit! Not this again! I'm going to be late again!" Obito thought as he jumped from branch to branch along with an 8 years old Fayre who was already a Chuunin.It was quite an accomplishment when he graduated academy at the age of six along with activating his Sharingan on the same year as well as recently being promoted to Chuunin the day after his birthday.
"No surprise. You're late because you didn't listen to me, Nii-san." Fayre sighed, as he shook his head in dismay before continuing, "Because of you, I'm going to be late for my team's training! Thanks a lot, Nii-san." Fayre sarcastically said as he always visited Obito's team every morning since his team usually trained in the afternoon so didn't mind if Obito's always late, since he's usually two hours late, but this time he was 4 hours late! Even worse, he recently became a Chuunin today and Chuunin on first day should not be late!
"Sorry, but there's nothing I can do. I know I woke up late, but you have to understand, I had a big mission last night which was really exhausting. I'm more surprised that we weren't given a rest day after the mission. And… the other reasons why I'm very late is because I helped people three different times on the way here." Obito chuckled as Fayre joined in.
"Well, you're nice, brother so I'm sure Hokage understands." Fayre said with a smile.
"Understood what? All the times I was late?" joked Obito.
Fayre laughed, shaking his head, "No… That I'm late because my big brother is always late! Maybe I should ask him to demote you since you're not fit to be Chuunin after all."
It was so amusing to see Obito's shocking face as he gasped almost as if he missed his favorite show.
"Oh, no… You wouldn't do that to your dear big brother, would you?" Obito yelled asFayre sweat dropped before staring at Obito deadpanned.
"…That was a joke." Fayre said as the brothers stared at each other for a while. Obito was unaware of his surroundings as his face slammed against the tree and fell down to the ground.
Fayre covered his mouth as he tried to restrict his laughter, but it was impossible as he roared with laughter as he wiped off the tears from his eyes.
"You should pay attention to your surrounding next time, Nii-san!" Fayre giggled.
"You're late!" A familiar voice scolded Obito.
Both Uchihas rolled their eyes over, as they looked at Kakashi who stood by Minato and Rin.
"You're not even worthy of being Hokage if you keep being late like that nor are you fit to be a Shinobi." Kakashi sighed as Obito growled.
"Shut up!" Obito scowled as he got up, rubbing his forehead, trying to relieve the pain from slamming his head against the tree.
"I'm late because I was stopping some kids from bullying other kids. Then, I had to help someone find a lost dog. And finally… There's was an old woman who needed my help to carry her groceries." Obito explained as Kakashi sighed as he didn't believe him anyways.
He put his hands in his pockets, and scoffed, "Excuses, excuses…."
As usual, Rin tried her best to soothe them both. "Hey, hey… Stop fighting…" Rin said.
"Like you'd believe me! I'm telling you it's true!" Obito shouted right in Kakashi's face, as he glared at him.
Minato had to get in the middle between them as he's a bit tired of hearing their never-ending squabbling.
"That's enough, Kakashi." Minato sternly said, staring at him as Kakashi looked away, giving a heavy sigh as Minato started, "Now Obito…"
Obito raised his eyebrows in confusion at Minato's seriousness. He always praised him for what he just did, now all of the sudden, he sounded like he was disappointed in him.
"Obito, there're times when you're needed, and you're expected to be on time during the important times. The Third Shinobi World War is coming soon so you can't be laid-back like that. There're important times when you need to be serious for everyone you're going to protect in upcoming war. Do you understand?" Minato said asked as he was right.Indeed, the war was not meant to be taken lightly as it was really serious. When there's war, there will be a lot of violence, blood, and death. War is a place where you must sacrifice your life to protect ones.
During the First Shinobi World War and Second Shinobi World War, it's always been that way. Most shinobi died, no matter how old their ages. In war time, Shinobi do not show mercy. It's killed or be killed and it would take whatever it takes to win.
Obito frowned as he realized that Minato was right. There was an upcoming war that begins in three days. Hence, why only Chuunin and above are going to the war, while the Genins and few Jounins would remain in the village to protect the citizens of Konoha.
He realized that's also why Fayre was promoted to Chuunin because he was needed in the war despite him being eight years old as there's going to be a lot of young kids who are already Chuunin and above going to the war; Kakashi, Rin-chan, and himself included.
Obito merely nodded as Minato noticed that and accepted his response with a smile.
"Good. Now on our first order of training, there will be a sparring session. First one to fall will lose!" Minato ordered.
Obito gulped as he gave Kakashi a long stare since he wanted to beat him in a one-on-one fight today. He was going to prove that he's better than Kakashi. After all, his dream was to become Hokage, but first, he must defeat Kakashi.
Kakashi looked like indifferent as he knew he was the strongest in the team. It was his belief that every single Shinobi must absolutely follow the rules no matter what the circumstances were and if he or she didn't then that person was scum and didn't deserved to be Shinobi in the first place, like Obito, for example.
Rin had not anything to say in this matter.
Fayre, on the other hand, glared at Kakashi since he never liked him as he felt like that guy was just bullying Obito for his own amusement. That guy was a douchebag, in his opinion and he loathed douchebags. He was going to teach him a harsh lesson today since it was his first day as a Chunin. Though,he wasn't wearing a Chuunin vest as he instead wore a sleeveless black jumpsuit jacket and black shorts.
"But today, it is special day." Minato announced, confusing Kakashi, Rin, and Obito.
"What's so special about today? First of all, I want to say something to Fayre." Minato said as Fayre's face suddenly became red since everyone looked up at him because he always easily blushed when someone was going to compliment him.
"Congratulations on your promotion to Chuunin, Uchiha Fayre!" Minato praised with a smile before continuing, "Impressive, isn't it? It's remarkable that you've become Chuunin at the age of eight!"
Fayre rubbed his back head, chuckling nervously, "T-Thank you, Minato-sensei."
Kakashi scoffed as Fayre scowled.
'Who does this guy think he is? Scoffing at someone who was recently promoted to Chuunin! That guy was truly a douchebag!' Fayre angrily thought.
Obito suddenly pointed his finger at Kakashi while angrily yelling, "What's so funny, you?!"
Kakashi promptly ignored Obito, as he looked up at the annoyed Fayre.
"It took you three years to become a Chuunin after you graduated the academy so it's not remarkable. After all, I graduated the academy at the age of five and it took me a year to promote to Chuunin so I think we both know that you can't beat me on your level." Kakashi stated as Fayre grew more angry.
"Shut up! So what if you're better than me?! You think just because it took me three years to become a Chuunin I'm not as good as you are?! Get over yourself! As if you didn't know what's going on with my life!" Fayre yelled as Obito looked down.
"Fayre…" Obito knew what Fayre was going to talk about.
Recently, he began grew concerned about his younger brother since he saw a change of behavior in Fayre every once in a while, but it was getting worse. Back then, he was a sweet and polite boy. Now, he scowled all the times. He sighed, wishing that Fayre could go back to his old self. Witnessing Mom killed in front of his adolescent eyes must have scarred him so horribly. Obito couldn't imagine what would have happened if he was the one who witnessed her death instead of Fayre.
"Ever since the death of my parents, I haven't recovered from the trauma, so my outstanding taijutsu have gotten rusty! It's like my I went downhill so much that I can't even fight that well in hand-to-hand combat anymore. That's when I lost hope of chance to be the best Shinobi in the village. But…"Fayre said beforehe raised his fist and clenched it.
"I met a man. A man who taught me how to wield a sword. He's very skilled with dual-wielding and he's Uchiha. That man who trained me for three years. Now, I'm as better than you think I am right now so I'm not weak! Unlike you, I don't make myself a complete asshole. At least, show some sympathy." Fayre finished asKakashi's eyes darkened.
"Sympathy? Did you learn anything in the academy? Do you even know the rule of shinobi? As a shinobi, you must not show your emotions in any under circumstances. I thought you knew that, but I'm surprised you showed so many emotions today. As I thought, you're not fitting to be shinobi after all." Kakashi finished darklyasFayre's temper started to show, as his anger flared.
"Shut up! Now I finally realized why you're such a douchebag, because you have nothing better to do today. Unlike you, I don't insult people for their idiocy. You, on other hand…" Fayre said as he recalled something before his mouth turned into devious smirk.
"There's reason why you're gloomy like this every day. It's been a while since you lost your Father, isn't that right?"Fayre smirked ashe noticed that Kakashi clenched his fist. Now it's time to provoke him further since all he had to do to make fun of his Father.
"The irony is… your Father was the one who broke the rules by abandoning his mission and saving his comrades, so the mission failed!" Fayre laughed, as he continued to mock Kakashi, "Now you're all alone… Why don't you go crying to your Mother?" Fayre laughed asKakashi's clenched fist hardened, as he shut his eyes down, trying to contain his anger.
"Oh!" Fayre waved his hands around mockingly before continuing, "That's right. Your Mother died while giving birth to you! Do you know why? Because she was weak! Your Dad…"
"FAYRE!" Obito yelled as he had enough of Fayre insulting Kakashi.
"SHUT UP! STAY OUT OF THIS!" Fayre snapped at his own brother, as he returned to Kakashi.
Obito was startled since that was very first time that Fayre ever talked back at him. Deep down, he was really upset and he had no idea what he was supposed to do anymore. He knew Fayre had a rivalry with Kakashi and while he also considered Kakashi as his rival, he would never resort to insulting his family.
Now, he needed to start doing his job as an older brother since after their parents' death, Obito didn't bother to discipline his younger brother because he thought Fayre was smart enough to know what's right or what's wrong. Apparently, even a smart kid needed discipline. Now, it's his time to take responsibility as his older brother right now.
"Your Dad committed suicide because the impact of the mission's failure caused him to be vilified by the Land of Fire, the villagers of Konoha, and even those he had saved. Guess what?! He deserved to die, because he broke the rules by abandoning his mission just to save his comrades. HE LEFT YOU! In other words, he's just another failure shinobi who couldn't ignore all other people who criticized him! You are—" Fayre continued before….
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Obito yelled before he suddenly leapt over to Fayre on the branch, as he landed a hard punch to Fayre's cheek, making him stumbling against the tree, surprising everyone in the area, including Fayre himself.
Obito panted quickly as he couldn't believe what he had done! He literally punched his younger brother in the face! He feared that Fayre might hate him forever for his action. He watched Fayre who looked at him stunned, hoping that might knock some sense into his younger brother.
Kakashi uncurled his fist, as he allowed his body to relax. He was going to attack Fayre if he said more, thankfully, Obito got to him before he did.
Fayre froze, as he stared at Obito in shock before he gently touched his own cheek, which was already red.
"Nii-san…"Fayre muttered ashe wondered why Obito hit him. Save for their daily sparring, that was the first time he inflicted a hit upon him. He never felt anything like that. His older brother literally punched him in the face.That brother he adored so much just smacked him! His brother never hit him before in his life!
'He punched me! Nii-san just hit me! Does he hate me now? No…' Fayre thought full of fear, 'No… He hit me because he hates me!'
Fayre gave a long look at his older brother, but Obito looked angry and disappointed. He can't be sure, but that wasn't good.
'No… He really hates me!' Fayre sniffed, trying hardly to hold back his tears.
'Is that because what I just did? Now is he going to hate me forever?!' Fayre thought as he couldn't stay there any longer, as he began to think that Obito actually hated him! He broke down crying, as he hopped away from his older brother.
"Fayre!" cried Obito.
Fayre heard his cry, but he ignored it, as he continued to hop through the forest.
Later Night
He strolled through the village with sorrow.
'He hit me because I did what I wasn't supposed to do? Was I way over the line with Kakashi? Some stuff I shouldn't say… Now Obito is going to hate me because I said something I shouldn't have said to Kakashi.' Fayre thought before sighing.
'I don't want to go home. I should visit Uncle Fugaku and eat dinner at his house.' Fye thought before he approached Fugaku's house where he noticed a three year old Itachi practicing his taijutsu.
"Itachi?" Fayre asked.
Itachi looked up at him and greeted back. "Fayre."
"Oh, Uncle Fugaku already teaches you taijutsu?" asked a curious Fayre as Itachi smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah! Because I'm going to academy when I become four years old on June 9!" Itachi grinned.
Fayre patted Itachi's head and smiled.
"Nice! I'm sure you're going to be smarter than me!" He complimented Itachi, which made the boy grin as the porch door opened, revealing Mikoto who noticed Fayre standing outside.
"Oh, if it isn't my cute cousin, Fayre!" Mikoto smiled.
"Aunt Mikoto!" Fayre greeted cheerfully before continuing, 'Well, I need something to cheer myself up rather than getting all depression.' Fayre said asMikoto then noticed the bruise on Fayre's cheek.
"What happened to your cheek? I hope Obito didn't accidentally hit you hard again. Sheesh, he never learns to hold back his strength when it comes to sparring."
Thanks to Mikoto's comment, his bitter memory of Obito hitting him this earlier morning came back. He had been evading Obito all day, not wanting to see him since he was afraid what Obito would say to him.
Fayre frowned before saying, "Obito hit me because of something I wasn't supposed to say."
That surprised Mikoto as she attempted to form words.
"Uh… Um… Well… That's rare." Mikoto said shocked.
"Yeah." Fayre looked down, not wanting to see Mikoto's reaction. He knew she was going to ask him why or what happened.
Instead, she asked, "What did you do?"
"I…" Fayre hesitated as he did not want to tell Aunt Mikoto, because she'll probably be mad at him for doing something he wasn't supposed to do.
"I said something badly about Kakashi's Father." Fayre reluctantly admitted.
"I see." That was all Mikoto could say before continuing, "Well, come in for Dinner. In fact, Fugaku wants to tell you something."
"Huh?" Fayre looked at Mikoto in confusion, but came with Mikoto and Itachi into the house anyways.
Fayre ate dinner with Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi, though before they ate, Mikoto already gave him a first-aid bandage on his cheek.
Right now, they were eating chicken curry, and it was really delicious as Mikoto's cooking was always really appetizing!
Then he asked Fugaku what he wanted to tell him. Fugaku responded by saying that he wanted Fayre to begin training Itachi once he turned four years old.
Fayre was shocked, but denied his request, saying that he's not ready to train someone because he's too young. Fugaku then proceeded to say that it doesn't matter what age he was, but it matters that he's smart enough to train someone.
Fayre told him he would reconsider it when the war was over so they made a deal, provided that neither of them would die in the war.
After dinner, Fayre said good-bye to Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi, as he departed for home. He got home only to be greeted by a worried Obito.
"Fayre! Where have you been all day? I've been looking for you!" said Obito.
Fayre hung his head down, shadowing his eyes, so Obito won't see his tears.
"Nii-san… I'm sorry I said what I said but please don't hate me!" Fayre desperately pleaded.
Obito looked confused at first before he smiled, "I see…"
As his tears fell on the ground, Fayre found himself weeping again. "I am so sorry! I shouldn't have snapped at you. I should have calmed down. It's just… that I feel something burning inside of me. I can't control my temper. Please… Please don't hate me!" Fayre cried before Obito suddenly pulled him into a hug, so he could embrace him tightly.
"Fayre… There's nothing to worry about. I do understand… I understand why you snapped at me. I understand that you were very frustrated with Kakashi's attitude. But… please don't think for a second that I'd hate you or something like that! You're my little brother, after all! Just… do not cry." Obito said soothingly to his older brotheras Fayre smiled. At that moment, he knew he couldn't survive without Obito. He always looked up to Obito. Whenever he's unhappy, his older brother would be always there to cheer him up and put a smile on him! Without Obito… He would not know what to do anymore.
June 14- Third Shinobi World War- Gate of Konohagakure
It's been two months since Third Shinobi World War started. They were ordered to come back to Konohagakure to defend it from the enemy. Their missions were to fend all enemies away from their village.
Right now, they were facing bunch of Kirigakure shinobi and they were surprised that Kirigakure also participated in the war!Sunagakure sided with Konohagakure, while fighting off against Iwagakure, mainly while Kumogakure and Kirigakure seemed to join the war.
For some reason, Kirigakure went to Konohagakure village. For what purpose? None that Fayre was aware of right now. No matter what, he had to fend them away from Konohagakure, but he was currently overwhelmed by numerous Kirigakure shinobi.
Kirigakure killed too many Konohagakure shinobi, which traumatized trio of young kids. What they saw was too much blood, too much corpses laying around, too much killing blows, and too much gore right before their young eyes!
But Fayre managed to ignore them, as he tried his best to fight so many Kirigakure shinobi of them. It was tough, but he killed every single of them.
Every single one of his allies were killed one by one, as groups started to diminish every time, while Kirigakure shinobi were killed, but not as fast as his allies, though.
Basically, it was three against at least 30 Kirigakure shinobi! They looked like they were ready to kill these brats!
Fayre was scared but overcame his fear by activating his Sharingan. He managed to kill three of the Shinobi but they overwhelmed him as one of them knocked him away, nearly killing him.
However, his two useless comrades were cornered by Kirigakure. They were about to kill him, but Fayre's team sensei came in the way but was killed in the process.
Angered by his comrades' uselessness and his Sensei's death, despite being fatally wounded, he managed to stand up and kill few more. Then a messenger appeared before him and delivered a message that Kirigakure shinobi were attacking the Uchiha Compound! In other words, the Kirigakure shinobi he was currently fighting were a distraction. He was shocked and began to worry about Itachi.
With that, Fayre led his teammates to the Uchiha Compound although they were chased by the remaining Kirigakure shinobi though it didn't matter because the Uchiha Compound was more important to save than fending the enemy away. Luckily for them, ten Uchiha used their Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu, wiping all of the Kirigakure shinobi who chased Fayre.
As soon as they arrived at Uchiha Compound, Fayre immediately spotted Itachi who was running away from Kirigakure shinobi who were about to kill him with their jutsu.
"Itachi!" Fayre cried, as he leapt to save him from Kirigakure shinobi.
"Fayre!" Itachi cried back as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. There's so much blood, so much corpses, so much gore, and so much violence! What was the point of violence? What was the point of war? Why do they kill each other? What's the purpose of taking someone's life away? Itachi wondered.
Fayre was angered by how many Uchihas were killed here, not to mention how many shinobi of Konohagakure were killed, including the citizens of Konohagakure, including innocent children. He glared at the Kirigakure shinobi who laughed at him.
'They were just children! Why did they go far just to kill children just for their amusement! Children weren't threats to them, yet they were slaughtered! He would never do that! He would never kill children that didn't put their lives on line! They weren't shinobi! Show no mercy, even to children?!' Fayre thought angrily as his anger quickly flared up, as he screamed in rage, "HOW DARE YOU SLAUGTHER THEM, YOU BASTARD!? YOU'LL PAY FOR IT! Come forth, Twin Blades!' Fayre yelled before he unrolled his scroll, and bit his thumb before making a hand seal, and slammed his thumb the scroll, materializing twin blades.
Before he knew it, he found himself slaughtering every single Kirigakure shinobi, staining their blood on his entire body. Thenext second, he fainted as he barely heard his comrades shouting… and even Itachi.
"Fayre!" They all yelled.
The next time he woke up, he found himself in the hospital room.
'Damn. I hate hospitals…' Fayre thought as he stared at the white ceiling as he tried to recall what happened and why he was injured.
As he thought that, the door opened, surprising Fayre that it was none other than Minato.
"Minato-sensei?" Fayre asked astonished.
Minato smiled, "So you finally woke up…"
"Wait… How long have I been out?" Fayre asked, getting up.
"A week. You've been out for a week. I can say I'm so relieved that you're still alive but it's a tragedy what happened to him." Minato said relieved despite being sad.
"WHAT?!" Fayre quickly jolted up before yelling, "I'VE BEEN OUT FOR A WEEK?!"
Minato had to plug his fingers into his ears to mute the noise.
"Energetic as ever! You're just like your brother…" Minato smiled though for some reason, he looked down when he mentioned Obito.
"Wait..." Fayre finally remembered why he was in the hospital. He recalled how he killed every single Kirigakure shinobi and next second, he blacked out.
"What happened to the war?" Fayre asked as Minato smiled, giving him a thumb-up.
"We won! The war just ended three days ago." Minato smiled.
"Oh? Good. I'm so relieved. I don't want the war to continue after what I just saw." Fayre said as he looked sullen as he recalled how he saw a lot of innocent citizens slain, including children. He absolutely hated that and he was certain that Obito wouldn't like that to happen as well.
'That's right! Nii-san!' He hadn't seen Obito for two months due to the war! Now he was sure that Obito had just came back. Now he couldn't wait to see Obito again!
"Hey! Where's Nii-san? Did he visit me sometime in the last three days? If so, when will he visit me again?!" asked Fayre excitedly since he adored his older brother much more than everyone. Before he left for the war, Obito reassured him that he wouldn't die during the war, and that he refused to die until he became Hokage one day. Obito promised and Fayre trusted him.
Minato frowned as he sat down on the bed by Fayre.
"Fayre… I'm sorry. But he did not make it. Neither did Rin…." Minato said sadly as the information shocked Fayre big time. Obito was killed in action! Rin died, too, but Minato didn't mention Kakashi at all. Does that mean Kakashi was still alive? Minato was still alive too. So how did Obito die?
Fayre sunk lower on his bed, looking dejected.
'Nii-san died?! No… This can't be happening! You promised me you won't die! You promised me you're going to be Hokage when you return! YOU PROMISED ME!' Fayre yelled as tears rolled down his eyes.
"I'm really sorry for your loss but his sacrifice was not in vain." Minato sympathized with Fayre for his loss as it was good idea to cheer him up. From what he had heard from the Hokage, when Uchiha lost their loves ones, they changed for the worse. So, by preventing him from undergo any changes, he had to say something that might not cause him to desire vengeance.
Minato then noticed Fayre's hand shaking before he took a good look at Fayre's face. His face was full of anger and hatred and his face screamed vengeance.
Before Minato could say anything, Fayre beat him to it by saying quickly. "Who?"
Minato knitted his eyebrows, "Who what?"
Fayre bared his teeth, clenching his bed sheet tightly, "Who killed him?"
Minato could only gaze at him, seemingly figuring out what to say.
Annoyed, Fayre snapped, glaring daggers at him, "WHO KILLED HIM?!"
During the aftermath of Third Shinobi World War, the Sandaime Hokage advised Minato against telling Fayre about Kakashi's new Sharingan eye that was given to him by Obito himself. Otherwise, Fayre might had a wrong idea.
Fayre didn't need to know about Kakashi's new Sharingan eye. So, telling him who slayed Obito wouldn't hurt at all. After all, Uchihas won't seek vengeance if their loves one were avenged during that time.
Minato sighed, "You don't need to worry. Obito's killers are dead. Kakashi avenged him."
Fayre's anger and hatred were halted immediately, as he looked up at Minato in astonishment.
"Kakashi?! He did?" Fayre thought asthat was new. So Kakashi actually avenged Obito? That's something new because Kakashi wasn't the type to avenge people, as he was always abided by the laws.
Minato smiled, "Like I said, Obito didn't sacrifice his life in vain. In my eyes, he's the true hero. He was a very brave shinobi, and he had a potential ability within him. He had the greatest accomplishment in his entire shinobi career. That's what matters in the end."
Tears kept falling down on the sheet, as it started to get a bit wet. "B-But…" Fayre sniffed, "He promised me! He promised me that he won't die until he become Hokage one day! Now… he's not here!"
"Fayre…" Minato put his hand on Fayre's head, surprising him. "He died a hero. That's what you need to know."
Fayre scowled, glaring at him as he wouldn't accept the fact that Obito died, hero or not.
Minato sighed, "Listen, it was war. No one was safe. During the war, all I could do is to go forward, not running away. Sometimes, I asked myself a question. Am I going to die? Will I survive this war? I mean, every one of us has a 50/50 chance to survive the war. I'm sure you thought that way. You probably thought you were going to die, too. In the war, it's killed or be killed. Most shinobi are bound to die in war. Unfortunately, Obito was one of them."
Fayre stiffened which didn't go unnoticed by Minato, so he gently touched his shoulder, attempting to calm him down.
"Fayre…" Minato closed his eyes, as he figured out what to say next. Then he opened his eyes again.
"I'm sure Obito would have wanted you to move forward. He would have wanted you to aim for top, just like you always wanted to." Minato said sympathetically before Fayre finally broke down crying, as he grabbed the sheets to his chest, and finally started to smile.
"Thank you… Minato-sensei!" Fayre thanked gratefully.
Minato smiled as his job was done.
"Well, one more thing…" Minato said as Fayre finally made eye contact with him, rather than giving him a dagger expression. Minato couldn't help but noticed that Fayre looked a bit like Obito. A bit as only one feature that was the same were their eyes.
"Kakashi asked me to give this one to you. He'd like you to read the note, Fayre." Minato said as handed the folded paper to Fayre. Obito's younger brother grabbed the note and as he unfolded the paper, he was interrupted when the door opened and a new person came in.
It was Itachi who walked into the room, carrying a bow and arrow.
Fayre looked confused, as he was not sure why Itachi was carrying a bow and arrow, but it was a very pretty bow, though.
Minato smiled, knowing what Itachi wanted to do. "I guess it's better for me to leave you guys alone." Minato said before he walked to the door, but before he left, he stopped by the door and glanced over his shoulder at Fayre.
"When you're discharged, I'll treat you to Ramen Ichiraku to pay homage to your precious brother, Obito!" Minato smiled.
Fayre was quick to agree with him and grinned, "I'd like to!" Minato nodded and smiled at him before leaving the room.
'Minato-sensei's right. Nii-san wouldn't have wanted me to stay sad. He would have wanted me to move on and become the top shinobi of Konohagakure!' Fayre thought smiling.
"Umm…" Itachi's voice caught his attention before he placed his dragon-like bow and quiver on Fayre's lap.
"Please accept my present as gratitude for saving my life…" Itachi said before he bowed politely. "Fayre-sensei!"
'Fayre-sensei?!' Fayre thought in confusion. Did that kid just call him sensei? Then he recalled what deal he made with Fugaku. After the war, he would let him know if he would train Itachi or not.
'Heh…' Fayre snorted with an amused chuckle.
"Present me a weapon that I can't wield yet. But how do you know I'm interested to learn all sort of weapons?" Fayre asked as he knew it was Fugaku who asked Itachi to give him a present for saving this little kid's life.
Fayre examined the dragon-like bow. Maybe he needed to ask someone who's an expert at bows and arrows to train him. Then he looked up, seeing his imagination of happy Obito, and also Hokage Obito! This Obito faced forward at Fayre, as he gave him a thumbs-up and made a big grin.
Fayre smiled. "You know what! I think I just made up my mind already. I've decided I'm going to be Hokage!" Fayre grinned beforehe raised his finger, and pointed at nowhere, but the ceiling. "I'll make your dream come true by becoming Hokage, one day, Nii-san!"
Itachi could do nothing, but stand there and stare at him in confusion.
Flashback Ends
Fayre still aimed for Itachi's head with his arrow despite his hands shaking so hard that he couldn't even release it.
He shut his eyes down, trying to figure out what's wrong with him.
'Why can't I kill him already?! B-But he…'Fayre thought as he opened his eyes and glared at the struggled Itachi.
'H-He is the one who wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan! I'll never forgive someone who massacred my clan! After all the horrible experiences I've been through… the death of my parents, witnessing an enemy slaying the citizens of Konohagakure, Nii-san dying in the war, finding out that Kakashi possessed Obito's Sharingan eyes, the Kyuubi attack on Konohagakure, my best friend splashed to death, the masked man who was a traitor to the Uchiha, Coola threatening me, not leaving only the village but also the planet, and finally, finding out my clan was wiped out by the same man I was training!'Fayre thought as all he could see was that Itachi was the true monster! What kind of Uchiha that would massacre the entire clan?
While Fayre struggled to make a move, Itachi was still crippled, as he attempted to locate Fayre in the forest. He managed to apply a first-aid bandage on his knee, suppressing the loss of blood, but he was barely able to run. All he could do currently was wait for Fayre to make a move.
'So where's Fayre? Sooner or later, he's going to make his move! Once he does that, I'll draw him out of hiding…'thought Itachi.
Meanwhile, for some reason, Fayre was unable to shoot by aiming at his head.
'DAMN! I can't kill him yet! Why?! Why can't I kill him?! He wiped out my clan!' Fayre thought as he decided to move his aim to Itachi's other knee.
'Fine! If I can't kill him… then I will make sure to cripple his both of legs to immobilize him!' Fayre thought before he released the arrow, as it zoomed towards Itachi at high-speeds, impaling his right knee.
"ARGH!" Itachi screamed in pain of his right knee.
'There! Another precise aiming! That's literally coming from this direction.'Itachi thought beforehe smiled, 'Good… Now I know where he is.'
Fayre smirked, 'Good! Now I've crippled both of his legs! Now he's unable to move. All I need now is to kill him… THIS TIME! AIM FOR HIS HEAD!'He thought as he made sure he set his aiming directly at Itachi's head with his arrow.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"As a super-giant fireball suddenly launched towards Fayre really fast!
Fayre could only gawk at the super giant fireball heading towards him.
'Oh, no! I can't get out! At this rate…'Fayre thought as a collision between the super-giant fireball and Fayre collided within the forest, causing a large explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Some trees were reduced to ashes, but there were flames remaining around the tree. Thanks to the flame, it started to spread through the forest as huge, black smoke erupted up through the sky.
Itachi panted heavily, anticipating the possible upcoming attack.
'Did I get him?' Itachi asked before he heard Fayre scream with the rage.
"HOW DARE YOU!? YOU ALMOST KILLED ME! THAT'S IT! I AM SO OVER WITH YOU! YOU WILL MEET YOUR DESTINY VERY SOON!' Fayre yelled.
'WHAT?! What is this power I'm sensing? I've never felt something like that before!'shocked Itachi.
The massive smoke finally dissolved, as a black, gigantic humanoid suddenly appeared. Fayre was already inside the black, gigantic humanoid, although it was transparent enough for Itachi to be able to see him through. It also wielded two ginormous swords.
Itachi looked up in astonishment. 'This is the Susanoo, but, I've never felt power like that before!'
"I will not be humiliated by the likes of you! I'm not about to be beaten some murderer who massacred the entire clan!" Fayre screamed with a rage as the black Susanoo's chakra leaked, and gathered stormy clouds. Both ginormous swords were engulfed with flames before pointing up to the black clouds. Then, the black clouds were absorbed and turned into black flames. The sunlight shone on the ground, revealing the blue sky.
Fayre glared down at the stunned Itachi.
"I will not use Kuroi Hono Kogeki (Black Flame Attack). I will just destroy you with my strength! SPLASH HIM LIKE AN ANT!" Fayre commanded as the black Susanoo swung his ginormous swords down towards Itachi!
Suddenly, some form of an orange ginormous sword parried the black sword.
"WHAT?!" Fayre cried.
It turned out that Itachi finally released his own Susanoo. It was an orange Susanoo! As the black Susanoo and orange Susanoo struggled to best each other, Fayre was surprised to see that Itachi was able to fight, despite being badly wounded.
The black Susanoo failed to overwhelm the orange Susanoo, as Itachi's Susanoo finally pushed Fayre's Susanoo away, making Fayre attempt to stay firmly on the ground.
Fayre couldn't contain his rage, as he screamed in the rage, "DAMN YOU!"
Both Susanoos clashed their swords each other, causing a massive shockwave. But the massive shockwave knocked them away from each other before they managed to stop themselves before charging each other!
To be continued…
Naru-Kun97: And there's the edited chapter for you all! ^_^ I hope you all enjoyed it and I can't wait to see who wins this fight between Itachi and Fayre! ^_^
Between you all, I want Itachi to win but it's up to murdereath21 since he's the author! XD
I also can't wait until Fayre finds out who "Madara" really is ;) (Wink, wink)
But I will see you all next time! ^_^
A/N: Thank you, Naru-Kun97. Anyways... Sorry, it took longer than I expected. I finished two weeks after I updated Chapter 102. Then I gave it to my Beta Reader, and he finished a week after. I'm supposed to update on Sunday, but instead, my cousins just visited us here from California, so I can't update it yet. Also, my left arm. Then finally, cousins just left for California again. Now I'm free again! Yeah, almost month agaaaaaain.
Only question is when will I have a free time that will prevent distraction, so I can write MORE? Sadly, video games, movies, and TV show interferes with my writing hobby. Soon, I will go to New York to visit my friend on October for a week. When I come back, I will return to college, so that means more busy for me.
But don't worry. I won't let them stop me from writing Team Z story. I intend to finish Team Z.
Now back to this story, that's all for this chapter. Next chapter will be last fight between Fayre and Itachi. Of course, there will be Fye's new opponent after Itachi. You know who. Maybe three or four chapters between Fye and Tobi. Then after Tobi, Konoha Invasion will begin soon! It's COMING SOON!
I think that's enough talking for me! :D See you next chapter! :D Bye...
