Chapter 104: Fayre vs Itachi Part 2!
Age 763, December 1- Forest, Land of Fire, Planet Element- Fayre vs Itachi
Fayre's and Itachi's Susanoos clashed their swords against each other, causing another winds had become stronger, cutting branches off of a nearby tree, one where Tobi was conveniently on.
Tobi had to use his chakra to stay firmly on the branch in order to prevent himself from being knocked away by a shockwave.
'The Clash of two Susanoo! Amazing power!' Tobi thought amazed as Fayre's Black Susanoo swung its swords in a wide arc at Itachi's Orange Susanoo before Itachi's Susanoo then put his shield above the head of the Susanoo in order to block both of the swords.
Although Fayre was slightly annoyed, he chuckled and applauded Itachi for his action. "I have to admit... I'm impressed! That was my fastest swing ever, and you blocked it with ease! Now… Let's see if you can endure this!" Fayre gloated before he made a heavy blow against Itachi's shield with his right sword, causing a small shockwave.
Itachi braced himself for a powerful strike as he shut his right eye down, struggling to overcome Fayre with his strength before the second powerful sword stroke down on top of Itachi's shield, pushing Itachi down before he braced himself again, although a crater was formed.
Finally, Fayre retracted, jumped and whirled his swords before diving back towards Itachi.
Itachi looked up before he realized that it was impossible for him to parry when Fayre leapt towards him at the altitude he was at. He had to act faster he thought as he backed away from the area that was soon to be destroyed.
But, much to his dismay, when Fayre slammed his sword on the ground, there was a mix of black, red, and yellow backlash waves aimed towards him, scarring the ground in front of Itachi.
"What?!" Itachi cried as he forcefully pulled his large shield up to defend himself before colliding with the backwash wave.
It was a powerful jutsu, indeed. He realized that Fayre's Susanoo sword could perform long-range jutsu.
Though…..
It was nothing to Itachi.
Shortly after he blocked the backwash wave, he was able to nullify it, thanks to his Susanoo shield.
Fayre left his mouth open, as he was speechless. 'I-Impossible! This is a technique that can wipe out anything, no matter how powerful he is! Yet he… he withstood it! Normally, my technique will destroy everything in its way, even if they have the best defense system. It literally destroys everything, even the hardest substance on this planet! But his shield simply nullified my technique like it was nothing!"
"Fayre-sensei…" Itachi said, snapping Fayre out of his shock. "I know what that does. It can destroy everything, even the hardest material. Unfortunately, Yata no Kagami (Yata Mirror) establishes all nature transformations and is able to change its aspect to any nature transformation to completely negate any attack, whether it be spiritual or physical. So in short, it can nullify any attacks no matter how strong it may be." Itachi calmly explained as Fayre clenched his fists hard as his body trembled.
"Wait… Are you saying you're stronger than me?!" Fayre yelled, as Itachi closed his eyes and sighed.
"Perhaps…" Itachi said before he opened his eyes, revealing a rotating Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Never mind… Why not we find out then?" Itachi said before Fayre was suddenly transported into a black void.
'W-What?! Where am I?' Fayre shocked, as he tried to scope this new environment. "What did you do to me, Itachi?!"
"You are in my world right now," said a voice through the darkness.
Fayre immediately snapped his head around, spotting Itachi right there before realizing there were no Susanoos lingering behind the two of them. "In your world?! What have you done to me?!"
"Nothing. There was something I merely wanted to show you," spoke Itachi.
"So what do you want to show me?" A skeptical Fayre questioned him before a bright light suddenly bathed down upon Fayre, nearly blinding him.
When the light started to dim, Fayre let his arms down before finding himself floating in mid-air with Itachi. Fayre was startled at the sudden background change when he noticed the blue sky.
"What? Are we back to the real world now? But why are we floating?" Fayre wondered aloud.
"Look down." Itachi finally spoke up.
Fayre did as he was told to before he was suddenly amazed. He realized that they were floating above the Uchiha Compound in Konohagakure. 'Konohagakure? What're we doing here?'
"And no, you're still in my world. This is what happened through my eyes. All the scenes are what I witnessed and you're in all of them. Watch… This is the first scene I witnessed with you in it," explained Itachi as he pointed down at someone running away. Fayre looked down at who Itachi pointed at. He widened his eyes in realization that the person running away was Itachi and the people who were chasing him were Iwagakure shinobi.
"Wait… This is—" Fayre trailed off, as Itachi interrupted him.
Itachi nodded in response before replying, "Yes, this is during the war, the day when you saved me from them."
"HOW DARE YOU SLAUGTHER THEM, YOU BASTARD?! YOU'LL PAY FOR IT! Come forth, Twin Blades!" Young Fayre screamed with rage before he unrolled his scroll, bit his thumb, made a hand seal, and slammed his thumb on the scroll, materializing two twin blades.
"Your first horrible traumatization scene where all non-shinobi children were slain—through my eyes, of course." Itachi said, watching young Fayre killing every single Iwagakure shinobi at the Uchiha compound before few Kirigakure shinobi successfully impaled him.
"You might not be aware of this, but you should have been dead during that time. You were severed by all those weapons. But…" Itachi explained as the scene expanded.
With blood dripping on the ground, Young Fayre kept coughing up the blood as he wheezed so hard. He nearly passed out, but somehow managed to withhold himself. He glared at the few remaining Iwagakure shinobi who were rejoicing at him being stabbed by various kinds of weapons.
Itachi continued, "But it was your determination of never giving up… for your brother. For every second you thought of Obito, you wouldn't die. You refused to give up and so your determination won."
Despite Young Fayre being impaled by several weapons, he went on a killing spree until every single Kirigakure shinobi were killed before he passed out.
Young Itachi and Young Fayre's other teammates ran towards him, as they cried his name.
Fayre watched the entire scene as he rubbed his forehead trying to relieve the headache. "To be honest, I didn't remember what happened when I snapped. I didn't realize I could have died there. But I guess you're right. Whenever I think of my brother, it was my determination that I had spurred me on. Even now… all of the times I should have died, I've been fortunate to stay alive. I should've been dead after my fight with Gai."
Fayre said, staring at his hand before it clenched into a fist. "At that time… When I was going to die, I immediately thought of Obito, so I lived….and Gai died."
Then he blinked, making the world abruptly change, as he was now in a forest, standing on a tree branch.
He was taken aback as he found no sight of Itachi. 'Where's Itachi?! Are we back to the real world?'He attempted to locate Itachi, but instead, he found three stone faces on the Hokage monument with fourth stone face yet to be completed. 'No, I'm still in his genjutsu world.'
"This happens one month after the war," Itachi explained, as Fayre spotted his young self and Young Itachi standing in the middle of forest. He altered his eyes to the direction where they were staring at before noticing there were two Uchihas between an injured Kakashi who was forced to kneel.
'That's… That's when I was training Itachi, but we were interrupted by them instead. That's the day when I found out Kakashi—" Fayre trailed off when his younger self yelled at his fellow Uchiha.
"What the hell are you doing to Kakashi?!" Young Fayre shouted angrily as he began to draw a kunai from his pouch since he could tell that Kakashi was bruised and battered with his hands tied up. Fayre, knowing Kakashi, knew there was no way that he could be beaten that easily so he must have been ambushed by a couple of Uchiha.
On the left of Kakashi, a middle age man stood who had some wrinkles on his eyes and wore a gray shirt and white shorts, along with black sandals. His black hair went to the bottom of his ears.
"As usual, you're a dolt!" He laughed. "You told us to bring proof last night, so I brought one. He's the one!" The man on Kakashi's left chortled.
On right side of Kakashi, he looked to be an adolescent. He wore a white shirt and blue shorts, along with black sandals. His black hair also went to the bottom of his ears.
Second guy roughly yanked Kakashi's silver hair, forcing him up. "Have you always wondered why this guy covers his left eye all the time since the war ended?"
Fayre scowled since he could do nothing but hear out what they had to offer while Itachi was slightly worried about the event that was about to unfold.
"Fayre…" Kakashi groaned weakly, only to receive a sudden blow to his stomach. "Argh!"
"You be quiet or I'll hit you again!" The first guy hissed at Kakashi.
"You probably thought he covered his left eye because it was maimed, correct?" The second guy asked as he pulled the katana towards the side of Kakashi's neck. "You thought wrong! He covered his left eye because he possesses the Sharingan!"
First guy forcefully yanked the hitai-ate off of Kakashi, revealing the most powerful dojutsu, the Sharingan, in his left eye.
Young Fayre widened his eyes, leaving himself to speechless. He tried to breath but to no avail.
'It's…the Sharingan!'Fayre gulped before he finally reached a conclusion. 'It can't be! That's…' Itachi was also shocked before he snapped out of his train of thought as he looked at his sensei nervously.
"Fayre-sensei…" Itachi nervously muttered.
The second guy smirked gladly, knowing that Fayre finally realized it. "Guessed who's Sharingan it was?!" He pressed harder on Kakashi's neck, barely wounding it, as blood started to leak out slightly.
"That's right! This bastard stole the Sharingan from the none other than your older brother, Uchiha Obito!" The second guy laughed maniacally, as Young Fayre tried to process the information he received.
Even though Young Fayre knew it was Obito's, he stood in shock. His eyes were too focused on Kakashi's Sharingan eye. He felt like as if he was pulled away from the world. He felt as if he was consumed by a mysterious darkness. Everyone around him were gone but Kakashi and him. He saw a silhouette half of Obito's face with the right Sharingan eye on the right side of Kakashi's face.
'Nii-san…' Young Fayre thought, unable to do anything, as his legs and hands trembled. His heart started to beat rapidly. 'Why? Kakashi… He killed Nii-san… and took his Sharingan out to gain his own personal desire? I trusted you, Kakashi…'
He looked down at his chest, as he felt an immense pain. He clenched his chest, as tears started to form from his eyes. 'What's this feeling? Is it because he killed my precious older brother?! I thought Iwa-nin killed him! So it was Kakashi all along?! Dammit! I'm crying again!'
He desperately wiped his eyes, but he couldn't stop the tears. 'I shouldn't be crying! I'm a ninja! Ninjas shouldn't cry. I'm such a crybaby!'
He let his arm down as he clenched his fists tightly. 'Hatake Kakashi!'He snapped his head up, glaring at Kakashi with pure hatred in his eyes.
The second guy smirked, pulling the katana away from Kakashi's neck, as he tossed it on the ground next to Fayre. "Why don't you do the honor? Knowing that Kakashi certainly possessed your brother's Sharingan eye, you should execute him!" He suggested.
"Wait…" Kakashi wheezed, eyeing Young Fayre in particular. "I didn't kill Obito. He gave it to me before he died."
Kakashi tried to explain to Young Fayre, but he didn't listen simply because Kakashi had his older brother's Sharingan eye! No matter what Kakashi would say to try to convince him, it wouldn't work because possession of Sharingan from a user that's not from the Uchiha Clan was considered theft and murder.
Now he understood why.
He always wondered why most Uchiha disliked Kakashi so much. It was because Kakashi had a Sharingan eye behind his hitai-ate! Although, he was baffled why no one ever told him about Kakashi's Sharingan eye. It only took one month for these Uchihas to reveal the truth to him.
Young Fayre clenched his teeth, as he looked down, allowing his hair to shade his eyes. 'Of course! How could I not realize it? All this time, he slaughtered nii-san for the Sharingan!'
Immediately followed by a heartbeat, Young Fayre crouched down to pick up the katana.
"Wait…" Young Itachi said as he recalled the war where he experienced bloodshed and did not want that to repeat. He rushed to Fayre, grabbing his arm. "Stop it! Don't do this!" Young Itachi pleaded, though Young Fayre refused to listen, as he pushed Young Itachi down to the ground.
Young Itachi looked up in shock at the furious Young Fayre. "Fayre-sensei?"
Young Fayre did not respond, as he started walking to them. He gripped the hilt of his katana before reaching the area where Kakashi was kneeling along with other two Uchihas standing over there.
First guy held back his head, as he roared in laughter, "Haha! They should know better to not mess with the wrong clan! No one can take our Sharingan eyes, no matter who they are! Because when they do, they're exe—"
Suddenly, his throat was cut open, as blood spurted all over Young Fayre's face. He looked on shock at Fayre, as he tried to form words before he died from loss of blood.
Kakashi widened his eyes , and he was very confused as why Young Fayre would kill his own clansmen. 'Fayre…'
'He killed him in one swoop!'astounded Young Itachi.
Young Fayre held his bloody katana down, as blood was drippoing on the ground. His hands were shaking violently, as rage started to build inside him. After all this time he admired Kakashi, simply because he avenged his older brother, but to find out like this…
The second guy opened his mouth wide in shock, as he stared at Fayre in disbelief, but nevertheless, he glared at Fayre with blood boiling inside him. He immediately activated his own Sharingan, as he rushed towards Fayre with vengeance etched on his face.
"THAT'S MY FATHER! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU WILL PAY FOR IT!" The second guy yelled and before he could pull any punch, he was implanted with a kunai into his forehead very deep, causing him to stumble down on the ground face-first, dead.
Fayre only said two words, "Shut up!" Little did he know that 'Shut up' was going to be his favorite words for the rest of his life.
He put his katana in his right hand, as he began to walk towards Kakashi, gripping the hilt tightly.
"Stop it, Fayre-sensei!" cried Itachi desperately. He knew there was nothing he can do. He had no ninja skills that could stop Fayre. All he could do was to watch in horror.
It must have been hard for Fayre to uncover what's lies behind Kakashi's mask. Only one thing was in his mind:
…Kill Kakashi…
Young Fayre hefted his katana towards the sky. "Kakashi… Why did you kill him?!" His eyes indicated that he loathed him so much that he wanted to soak his blood so badly. It also indicated that he refused to listen to Kakashi's plea. No matter what Kakashi would say to him, he wanted him dead.
Kakashi chose not to look behind his shoulder at his rival, as he closed his eyes and sighed. "I did not kill him. Like I said, before he died protecting me, he gave me his Sharingan."
"Bullshit!" Young Fayre said sharply before continuing, "You never gave him a chance to shine! All you care about is yourself! You thought he was useless to begin with, so you never cared about him! You never liked him. You thought he was a nuisance! Every day and night, every time I saw you with Nii-san, you always belittled him and told him all about how he was so weak and that you were better than him! But when he unlocked the Sharingan, you were so jealous. You wanted power, so you murdered him and stole his Sharingan, and claimed to make it look like he gave it to you before his death!"
Kakashi closed his eyes, contemplating on what the choice of words he should use before he reopened his eyes, and began to explain. "I'll admit that I always thought him of a useless guy who shouldn't be a shinobi. He was never nice to me, and I wasn't nice either. I never thought him of my equal rival. He was always beneath me. I had to save his pathetic life all the time because most of time he couldn't do anything to save his own life.
"But until the war… We were sent on a mission to destroy Kannabi Bridge. But Rin was kidnapped by Iwa-nins, and Obito wanted to save her. I told him that we should complete our mission without detouring to protect her. He didn't listen to me, so he left to save Rin. I was going to complete the mission by myself, but the thought of him getting killed had me coming back to save him, wounding my left eye, and he unlocked the Sharingan for very first time.
"We found her where she was held hostage inside the cave. We saved her, but Obito ended up being crushed to death by a collapsing cave. I could have died, but he saved me and gave me his Sharingan, so I could protect Rin. But I also failed to protect Rin."
Kakashi chuckled sadly, "Maybe I killed him… but indirectly. The truth is, I always blame myself for his death. His death haunts me every day. I couldn't get it off my mind. So it was my fault that he died. If he—No, imagine that if I would have listened to him, perhaps none of that would have happened. He probably would be still alive if I had done what he did so yeah, I guess you could say I killed him."
He heard Young Fayre's growling before he frowned and stooped down to the ground. "Do it... I am done with this shitty world. If you're going to kill me, just do it."
Young Itachi widened his eyes. That moment he knew Fayre was going to kill him right there. Young Fayre swung his katana at Kakashi. Only thing he could do was to yell.
"You are not a murderer, Fayre-sensei!" Young Itachi yelled desperately.
Fortunately, Young Fayre froze as soon as those words were uttered, he instead cut the ropes between Kakashi's hands and set him free. He looked shock and dropped the katana, as he fell to his knees and put his hands on the ground, panting nearly hyperventilation.
Kakashi and Itachi were bewildered at Fayre's sudden change of heart, though they both knew that Fayre was not a murderer… yet.
Once Young Itachi snapped out of his shock, he immediately ran to Fayre and checked on him. "Fayre-sensei! Are you okay?"
Kakashi remained on his knees, although his hands were free, he was saddened to see Fayre suffering like that.
Again, the world suddenly turned white, as older Fayre and Itachi stared at each other.
So what was the point of showing Fayre through Itachi's eyes, if he remembered his own past? What was Itachi's plan? What was his purpose of showing Fayre the past?
"Did you see it?" asked Itachi.
Fayre looked up in confusion at him. "I see what?"
"The truth… You should be able to see whether Kakashi's telling the truth or not. At that time, when Kakashi confessed, you were too blinded by your own hatred and was unable to see the truth to it. But… now that I showed you this, were you able to see it?"
Itachi got a point. Back then, due to the hatred, Fayre allowed his hatred to take over his body when Kakashi confessed. All he could think about was how Kakashi killed Obito. At that time, he didn't pay attention to him. Even with his Sharingan, he was still blinded by his hatred. The Sharingan had an ability that wasn't only able to copy jutsu or see high-speed, but was also able to detect lies.
Fayre furrowed his brows, annoyed. "What of it?" He would like Itachi to get to the point so they could get the fight done. From what he knew, both Itachi and he could be still in their Susanoo in the real world, and their real bodies would probably be still.
Once again, and for the last time, Itachi willingly change the environment around them, revealing a younger Itachi, with Baby Sasuke in his arms, who was facing Young Fayre in the middle of the forest at Konohagakure.
Fayre looked around, seeing that there was a wildfire spreading through the forest not too far away with large smoke oozing out at every area.
"This is…" Realization just dawned on his face, as he declared out aloud. "The Kyuubi's attack on Konoha."
There was no response from Itachi as the words spoken from a five year old Itachi, "Fayre-sensei!" He force breathe out of his mouth to catch up with the oxygen. It would seem that he was running to him with the baby in his arms. Once he caught up with the oxygen, he finally spoke up, confused. "What're you doing?"
Fayre stopped, but didn't turn around. His back was facing Fayre with the backpack hung on his back.
"You're leaving Konoha?" Young Itachi asked in realization. He couldn't comprehend his reason for leaving Konohagakure.
"I'm sorry." Young Fayre said sadly. "I don't have a choice. I have to leave Konoha. As long as Kakashi is still around, I can't bring myself to forgive him."
"But if you leave the Konoha, you will become missing-nin!" Young Itachi said, as he remembered what he learned at the academy. If a ninja leaves the village without filling out the withdraw application, then he or she becomes missing-nin and will be on the run for the rest of their life. All missing-nin will be hunted for the rest of their life, like Orochimaru for example.
"Itachi…" Young Fayre finally spoke up, as he looked at the stars during the night. "When I was a kid, after the death of my parents, Obito always looked after me. One time…" Fayre chuckled. "One time, when I was bullied by older academy kids, but as a ninja, I was not allowed to harm them, or I would be in big trouble, so Obito came and beat them to save my butt and he got in trouble instead. His teammates blamed him for it. I thought it was my fault, so I cried—like a crybaby—but Obito reassured me that it was not my fault and then I realized how much he meant very much to me… and now he's gone."
Itachi stood silent, as he didn't know what to say. When Fayre mentioned Obito, he looked down at Sasuke, wondering if he could look after Sasuke just like Obito to Fayre.
Fayre then turned around and smiled at Itachi with tears running down from his eyes. "Itachi… I entrust the Uchiha clan to you, so please look after it and take care of Sasuke very well." He looked at baby Sasuke in Young Itachi's arms and smiled sadly before leaving them. "Goodbye…"
Older Fayre closed his eyes and sighed in annoyance. "What're you trying to do by showing these to me? If this is your pathetic attempt to goad me into changing my mind about Kakashi, it—"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he widened his eyes, realizing Itachi in his Susanoo form suddenly swung a gigantic sword at Fayre's Susanoo. "What?!"
Fayre's Susanoo raised his gigantic sword to parry a blow. They both held their gigantic swords to each other. 'We're back in real world!'He finally realized, as he held Itachi back.
He gritted his teeth, as Itachi started to build the strength to overcome him. There was no way that Itachi could possibly beat him with an injured he had right now! He diverted his eyes down and widened his eyes in shock.
Itachi's legs were healed already! Now he knew why Itachi casted a genjutsu at him. He scowled. He should have known! This was his purpose to heal himself, so he could fight him at his best! It would be unfair that Fayre was at his best and Itachi was not at his best.
"I see…" Fayre mumbled quietly, though Itachi could hear him. "That has to be only reason why you pulled me in 'your world', so you can buy yourself a time to heal yourself."
Itachi stared at him with an emotionless look. "Correct. As I said earlier, from on now, this fight will determine whoever is the strongest here, you or me."
"Obviously, it's clearly that I am the strongest here, Itachi!" Fayre said arrogantly.
Years with Coola should be paid off, and that he should prove that he's strongest than everyone here on this planet. Should he fail to finish Itachi off soon, he's planning to use his powers that he never used before in real battle. He pulled off a smug smirk, almost as if goddess of victory smiled on him.
"Hn, that big arrogant smug of yours shall be your downfall one day." Itachi said scornfully, as he started to gain on Fayre's Susanoo with his Susanoo.
The mouth turned upside down and bared his teeth with a rage. "And you will receive very pain, slow death right here!"
A sudden of another gigantic sword swung upon Itachi's Susanoo in attempt to slice him open like an egg, only to receive a powerful kick to the gut by Itachi's Susanoo, thrown through several tree, as they were chopped down.
For only moment he was laying on the floor, then he got up, dodging the slash of Red Susanoo's sword. Red Susanoo then proceeded to swing a multiple slash, forcing Black Susanoo to dodge them. After he dodged the final slash, he met with shield slam onto black one, sending him stumbling back, but instead, he dug his feet into the grass to stop himself.
He was surprised to see Itachi's Susanoo disappeared all of the sudden! He looked on around, trying to figure where Itachi will attack next.
Itachi unexpectedly appeared in front of him, swinging his red Susanoo's gigantic sword sideways. Even with a little time he had to move, Fayre managed to ward off his sword away from him.
With all rage, he started charging him. He pulled his right sword up and screamed before swinging his gigantic sword horizontal right-to-left, only to be blocked by Red Susanoo's shield.
But he had another plan.
Fayre rose his another sword in his Black Susanoo's left hand, swinging his gigantic sword upward, but was parried by Itachi's sword, much to his surprise.
Then he backed off a little, as Black Susanoo pivoted around, delivering another powerful sword strike, also blocked by Itachi's Yata Mirror again.
Itachi slammed his shield onto the face of Black Susanoo once again, forcing him back.
Black Susanoo held its feet on the ground, as Fayre glared into Itachi's stoicism face. 'Damn! He read my every movement as if he can predict the future! He knew what my next move would be, so he could counterattack my every attack! Damn, he's starting to piss me off!'
He clenched his fists, as he shut his eyes down, trying to soothe himself. 'If he thinks he's better than me, he's sorely mistaken! I am still better than him! There's no way… no way…'
Somewhere away from them, Tobi stood atop the branch watching the fight along with Zetsu. Through the mask, Tobi narrowed his eyes, as if he anticipated what was going to happen.
"They're evenly," said White Zetsu. "But I wonder what the outcome of this battle will be?"
"Heh, I'm guessing Itachi."His other half side said, "Judge by Fayre's expression, it appeared that he's struggling against him. What is your thought on this, Tobi?"
No response from Tobi for a while, but he answered few moments later anyways. "It's already over. Fayre lost."
Zetsu looked shock. How would Tobi know the outcome of this battle? But of course, Tobi knew these guys. After all, they're all Uchihas.
"Zetsu, make sure to conceal yourself from our enemies." Tobi said, as a swirl started to suck him into. "There's something I have to do." With said, he disappeared in a swirl.
Back to the fight, Fayre was already contained by a rage, as seeing that he was unable to calm down. He started to think out aloud. "There's no way... no way…" He quickly opened his eyes, as he glared hatefully at Itachi. "There's no way you are better than me!"
Despite being still in Susanoo, he charged towards Itachi in super-high speed before making an attempt to swing Black Susanoo's gigantic sword at Itachi's Red Susanoo. Suddenly, it became slow-motion to their point of view.
When Fayre saw no move attempted by Itachi, he began to smirk with victory on his mind right now. 'I won! He didn't see this coming! When my sword makes a contact with the living being, it instantly exploded and burned the living being until it is reduced to nothingness. Tough luck, Itachi!'
But that was not what he expected. His sword literally cut Itachi's Susanoo in half, but it did not explode.
'WHAT?! It didn't explode?!'Fayre shocked, as the Red Susanoo replaced with the log. He realized that it was just Kawarimi no Jutsu, but when did Itachi have a time to make one?
It did not explode because that was not living being. It was just a substance, and thus, it did not explode. Therefore, any living being that Fayre's Susanoo's sword touched shall exploded and burned the existence of its being.
While his gigantic sword still in the middle of swinging, Itachi in his Susanoo appeared behind him and just started lunging the sword at him.
Fayre widened in fear with the red veins began to flow onto his eyes. 'Shit! I can't block his swords, nor can I dodge this! My sword is still swinging, and my other sword is too far out of reach at this moment! And I can't suddenly shift my move!'
Being unable to do anything, he gawked up in his panic, as Itachi's sword was about to impale into Black Susanoo's chest.
Suddenly, something echoed into his head. 'Undo your Susanoo… now!'
'Who's that?'startled Fayre.
'NOW!'
Fayre was unsure of whoever that voice inside his head, but he had no choice but to trust the voice.
At this very moment, just right before Itachi could land a critical hit, Fayre's Susanoo disappeared all of the sudden, causing Itachi to miss. Now that left Fayre at great disadvantage since he had no Susanoo in his stead, and would have to fight Itachi with his Susanoo.
Fayre landed and looked up at Itachi who was still inside Susanoo's visible ribs cage. 'Damn! He makes a best out of me! I can't touch him at all! How did I let that happen?! How did I let him outsmart me?!'
"You're so lucky, idiot. If you didn't undo your Susanoo, it would be over for you. You wouldn't be able to dodge or parry if you didn't undo it. That sword in his Susanoo's right hand is called Sword of Totsuka. It is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of sealing anything it pierces. If your Susanoo is stabbed by Sword of Totsuka, you and I both would be drawn into the jar and trapped in a genjutsu-like 'world of drunken dreams' for all eternity. Heh, along with his Yata Mirror, he's almost particularly invincible. Idiot, that's the reason why you can't even touch him!'
Annoyed by some unknown voice invading his head, he responded back with a scowl. "Shut up! I will defeat him! I won't die until I killed Kakashi! By the way, who the hell are you?!"
"Dodge, idiot!"
It awoke Fayre out from his thought, as gigantic sword was headed for him. He yelped, as he leapt backward higher into the sky to dodge the gigantic sword that slammed onto the ground, causing a large dent.
However, he failed to pay attention to next move due to the fact that Yata Mirror just slammed him, sending him sprawling away a hundred feet.
That was very pain for Fayre to receive a hit like that, but he still can move alright. He stole a glance above his head where he was heading at a tree, he spun few times before gluing his feet on the wall of a tree. As soon as he landed on the tree, he looked up, widening his eyes.
A sword swung at him again, but fortunately, Fayre jumped up just in nick of time before the sword slicing the tree, falling down to the ground.
With a haste, Fayre weaved some fast hand signs and puffed. "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"Huge fireball launched out of his mouth right on top of Itachi's Susanoo, kicking up the massive smoke.
Thanks to smoke, his slight was reduced due to the fact that he could not see anything inside the smoke. So, large red Susanoo's hand slapped Fayre's entire body too hard, bashing him against the ground.
A blood spewed out of his mouth. Although he was being heavily harmed and nearly destroyed, he managed to get up, but struggling, nonetheless. Also, there was a blood leaking from his forehead. His legs were wobbled, as he struggled to stand still. He even almost fell, but thankfully, he still had a strength to stand. He already lost some concussion. Eventually, he was going to succumb to unconscious soon, anyways.
"Pathetic! Look at you. So weak! Here you are embarrassed by Itachi, and while you're at it, you're already injured, bled, and immobilize!"Voice ranted, sounded very disappointed.
He scowled in annoyance, as he had no idea who in the world he was talking to! "Shut up! I won't lose to him! Not at least until I defeated Kakashi first! Leave me alone!"
After relaying the thought to whoever inside his head, Itachi already made his move and swung his sword down at him, trying to destroy him.
Fayre tried to turn around, but something tingled inside his legs which prevented him from step forward. He started to panic, while watching Itachi still swinging his gigantic sword at him. "SHIT! I can't move! DAMMIT! I REFUSED TO DIE!"
He clenched his fists, then unclenched fist, as a glowing ball inside his hand, and launched a strong wave, aiming at Red Susanoo's sword arm. Finally, it disconnected Red Susanoo's arm from its shoulder, causing Itachi to widen his eyes in shock. After the arm was destroyed, Itachi's Susanoo disappeared, unwilling to fight anymore without an arm.
'Ki? As I predicted, he was able to use Ki. He must have learned Ki at some point after he left the planet. But…'Itachi landed his feet on the ground, giving Fayre a cold stare. Silence filled the air for a moment, but then he broke it. "I think we already found out. You and I both know what the outcome of this result will be, Fayre-sensei."
Fayre scowled. "Shut up! It will be you that goes down!" He grabbed the scroll from his pouch and unrolled it, placing it on the floor. By biting his thumb and drew on his other hand, he slammed his thumb on the scroll, calling forth his favorite twin swords.
No sign of panic on Itachi, and he sighed. "You never learned, do you, Fayre-sensei? You are immobilized right now. Now it's pointless for you to continue fighting. You cannot move anymore. Don't strain yourself."
"SHUUUUUUUT UPPPPPP!" Fayre screamed, as he suddenly plunged his both thighs, spurting the blood off their legs. After that, he rushed towards him with full of determination on his face. Killing Itachi was only on his mind right now! "I WON'T LOSE!"
"By drawing blood from your legs, you increased adrenaline, but only for temporarily. Shortly, you will be immobilized again. I've told you before. It's the hatred and vengeance that blinded you and it shall lead you to your death. It's already happening now. You've lost." Itachi said bluntly.
"I WON'T LOSE!" Fayre still ran towards Itachi, carrying two swords in his hands. He came closer and closer. Once he's near Itachi, he immediately disappeared and reappeared behind him, starting striking one of his sword at him.
Itachi lowered himself to put his hand on the ground and put himself on the handstand, as he corkscrew kicked Fayre's off-hand sword, disarming him.
Fayre was at disbelief how Itachi could disarm him more than once! Earlier in the fight, even though their clone fought each other, Itachi disarmed him before, and now, this time, it was between real people, Itachi disarmed him again! It's infuriating him so much!
He gripped his main hand sword tightly, as he thrust his sword, hoping to end Itachi's life right now and here!
He almost had him! He almost gauged his mind, but Itachi titled his head to evade the thrust, as he grabbed the sword that fell from the sky and swiftly shoved the sword through his chest.
Fayre received a massive hit and dropped his main hand's sword, as seeing that he was impaled by his own sword. He coughed up the blood from his mouth, as he put his hand on the sword that was held by Itachi right now, trembling in fear.
One thing he realized: Itachi still remained untouchable.
Fayre wasn't going to beg Itachi to spare his life. He knew that's the shinobi rule. It's killed or be killed. He wasn't some coward like most cowards he had met. Usually, cowards would say 'Please… Spare me… I beg you…' But he was not coward like them.
A lot of blood started to pour out of his chest, staining his sword. He coughed up blood few more, and started to breathe hyperventilation.
But only one thing he wanted to say despite the life draining from his body, "W-W… Why?"
Itachi knew what sort of question Fayre was asking, so he decided it was the best time to answer him.
He sighed, began to answer Fayre's question. "I anticipated your strategy from the beginning when you were hiding behind the tree, shooting your arrow at me. I then utilized the strategy so that I could have you thinking that you won. I purposely let you shoot an arrow at my knee, and injured me at least. I did it on purpose so I could find you. But that time, I gave you a chance… to kill me in which you hesitated. Hesitation is death. That's why you lost."
Fayre widened his eyes, as that quote triggered old memories.
"Listen, Itachi. When you're fighting someone, you have to kill them when you're ordered to do so or when you are certain that they're a threat to Konoha, your friends or your clan. You must kill them." Fayre explained to his disciple.
Itachi frowned, panting heavily. "But I don't want to kill people."
"In the shinobi world, it's killed or be killed. You hesitated. Hesitation is death." Fayre replied.
Fayre remembered that very moment when he quoted that to Itachi a month before he left the planet as tears formed in his eyes with a smile.
Fayre eyes' sagged low. 'Damn! I… I am going to die… am I? Looks like I will be able to see you again, nii-san... Mom…'He suddenly started smiling to himself, even though he was going to die.
But Itachi leaned towards his ear, whispering something.
Fayre suddenly was in shock before Itachi removed the sword from his chest. The blood leaked out of his chest faster than before, as he started falling to the ground, but not before he saw the masked man stab Itachi from behind.
The world then went to darkness…..
To be continued…
Naru-Kun97: I must say…..
Things are really picking up for Itachi and Fayre! ^_^
And the masked man!?
Holy shit!
Well guys, I know who he really is! ^_^
He's-
Masked Man: Silence you fool! (Warps me away)
Masked Man: That foolish editor should learn to keep his mouth shut….Let that be a lesson to you, murderdeath21 before you goof up like he did! Keep your mouth shut! (Warps away)
A/N: Yeah, don't spoil it! There could be some reader who doesn't watch or read Naruto, even though there's a lot of fans who knew about Naruto.
Now speaking of Naruto... Do you know what's today is? That's damn right! It's October 10! So what's so special about it?! OF course, it's Naruto's birthday! I know, I know... I'm so bad! He hasn't appeared in my story for loooooong time! I mean, reading about him training would be so boring. So I had to keep you entertaining, but hey, at least there's Sakura. Apparently, we all know who's the main character on this story arc... It's Sakura for a moment. But when Coola Saga comes by, it's going to be Naruto again.
Remember... Naruto will be always main protagonist of this story, not Goku. Team Z is basically Naruto's story, so there you go! :D
So what do you call it when a main protagonist doesn't appear for a certain long amount of episodes or chapters?
Anyways, let me introduce Naruto here. Remember don't throw a word like "monster" to him! He's Naruto, and he's your man, okay?! ALl right, you may come, Naruto!
(Naruto popped up in the spaceship)
Naruto: Huh? Where am I? And who are you?
Random Troll: MONSTER! MONSTER! MONSTER! YOU LITTLE SHIT! Naruto is soooo weak! GOKU CAN PWNZ YOU, LOL! HE'S TOO OP! RAWR! Naruto can't even blow up planets, but Goku can! HAHA!
Another Random Troll: Wo carez abt wk Naruo?! Superman PWNZ Evry1, END OF Diccion! Oh, Diccion? Jst laok at dethbaalet. Superman OWN Geku essay!
(Kicked the first random troll off into the space) Shut up! Take your war somewhere, stupid fan!
Kicked the second random troll off into the space) OH, MY GOD! Sorry, I can't even read your little shit message! You make too many error grammar! Come back when you can write! Oh, and Death Battle is faaaaaaake! I don't care who's stronger or not. This is not Superman's fanfiction. This is TEAM Z FANFICTION!
Naruto: Huh? Where am I?
Me: Oh, that's right. Before you wonder why he doesn't know me and why he looks much older... This is not Team Z Naruto! I reapeat, this is not Team Z Naruto! This is Kishimoto's Naruto! So say Happy Birthday to him! GO!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAR NARUTO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! You're now... Ehh? How old are you?
Naruto: I'm 30 years old.
Me: Oh, then happy 30th birthday!
Naruto: Sweet! I'm so happy! (Blows the candles off)
Me: CONGRATS, YOU ARE NOW 30th birthday! Now go eat your cake! I have some business to do here.
Naruto: Thank you for celebrating me a birthday! (Pops off along with the cake)
Me: Now, back to the subject, what do you think of fight between Itachi and Fayre? What did you think when Itachi stabbed Fayre in the chest. Is he dead or naw? Also, what about the masked man stabbed Itachi? Is there something wrong? Hmm? You will find out next chapter!
And speaking of new chapter, it will feature Sakura and Hinata again... probably looking for Danzo. Gratefully, I already write Chapter 105 right now! I hope I can finish before I leave for New York on my vacation on October 14!. :D
