Can Love Overcome All Obstacles
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…except for the OCs.
Summary: What if Itachi ain't the one who killed the Uchiha clan? It was just a misunderstanding? While chasing after Naruto, would he be able to find someone he can open up to? Some facts had been changed. But hope you will still like it! Read and Review! Enjoy!
Tsunade glared at Itachi. Itachi returned the glare with an even deadlier one. Poor Yingxue, stuck in the middle of the two of them, had no choice other than keeping quiet.
"Well, if you would just calm down and listen…" Itachi started. But before he could finish his sentence, they could all hear the noisy chirping sound which was really loud, and sounded very much like a thousand birds chirping as if their life's depended on it.
'Chidori' Itachi thought to himself. 'Looks like otouto is here.'
"Itachi! You baka! I will make sure that I kill you today!" Sasuke hollered at Itachi. Racing towards him at a very high speed.
Itachi was not a part of Akatsuki for nothing. The reason why he is an asset to Akatsukiwas because of his skills. So very easily, Itachi dodge the attack and with not much force, pushed Sasuke against the wall.
"Baka! Let me finish my sentence first will you?" Itachi hissed. Yakashimi stood at the end of the room with a smirk on his lips, lowered his hat and shook his head.
"Sasuke teme! What are you doing here?" Naruto shouted out loud.
"Shut up Uzumaki!" Yakashimi said with a deadlycalm tone. "that is unless you want to end your life right now." With Yakashimi's threat, Naruto immediately shut up and listen to what Itachi has to say.
"I can tell you truthfully, I am starting rebellion. Against Akatsuki." Itachi stated with a cold voice.
"Kami-sama! Itachi! You said it!" Yakashimi cried but a kunai that Itachi shot at him shut him up.
Itachi related what happened in the past and that he was not the one who wiped out the Uchiha clan.
"So… you were not the killer?" Naruto asked surprised after he heard Itachi's story.
"Yes. I did not. And now, the leader wants the nine- tails chakra. That's what I am here for." Itachi said. Somewhat annoyed with Naruto's statement.
"Yep! That's it!" Yakashimi chimed in.
"That is why I need to spar Naruto. To see what kind of techniques he knows before I can make his mould." Itachi continued. Ignoring Yakashimi.
Gaps reverberated round the room.
"What? Don't we look like the kind who would start a rebellion?" Yakashimi asked in a funny tone.
"No. you look more like idiots" Sasuke said with a smirk.
Itachi scowled when he heard that but did nothing.
"You… you!" Yakashimi stuttered, pointing a accusatory finger at Sasuke.
"That's enough! Naruto, we have to fight you." Itachi stated smugly.
"Eh… how about… we… AH HA! I know! Let me tell you what I know. Good idea eh?" Naruto said some what stupidly.
Itachi exchanged looks with Yakashimi and finally agreed. Grudgingly, Yakashimi had no other choice but to note down all of Naruto's skills and knowledge.
"Okay… let me see… I know… Sexy skill (Orioke no jutsu (sexy no jutsu)), Shadow clones (Kage bunshin no jutsu), Summoning Technique (Kyuichose No Jutsu)……" Naruto went on and on and on.
'How boring! All his techniques are just mediocre! Hmm… I wonder why Akatsuki wants him… oh yea! The stupid nine tails chakra! Duh! Yakashimi…Yakashimi… you sure aren't paying attention to things around you huh?' Yakashimi thought with a smirk.
"… lastly, the Rasengan. That's all!" Naruto ended with glee.
"Yawn…huh? Oh… you finished?" Yakashimi asked yawning.
"NANI! You… this baka! How dare you fall asleep!" Naruto reprimanded Yakashimi.
"Okay… enough of all this nonsense! Come on shim, we've got loads of work to do." Itachi said and walked out.
"Okay… wait up!" Yakashimi called out to his partner, receiving no response.
Itachi and Yakashimi took about two weeks to finish up the mould for Naruto. That was much earlier than expected due to the help of Yingxue. During this period of 'working' together, Itachi and Yingxue has gotten… erm… how should I put this…. Eh… reasonably close yep! "Love is in the air!" Yakashimi always said.
Day of Departure,
The mould has been sent to Akatsuki yesterday… if Itachi did not calculate wrongly, Akatsuki would be able to receive it by today or tonight… the latest.
"Thank you for the lodging this few days." Itachi said coldly.
"Yar! THANK YOU!" Yakashimi chimed behind Itachi.
"H-How…about… I g-go with y-you?" came a soft voice from behind the door.
"Yingxue? Are you serious?" Tsunade asked when she saw Yingxue come into the room.
"Y-Yes… sensei… A-And… if they are h-hurt, I c-can heal t-them!" Yingxue replied eagerly.
"But! You might get hurt! No! I disagree!" Tsunade said shaking her head vigorously.
"I disagree as well." Itachi voiced, worried for Yingxue's safety, he would never allow Yingxue to come along.
"It's really dangerous… you really should not tag along." Yakashimi said also worried. But not about her, but Tsunade. (Smiles wickedly…)
"B-But…please… let me go… I p-promise I would not be a b-burden!" Yingxue pleaded. She was much more worried about Itachi compared to herself.
"I… A-Alright… but… Itachi, if she gets hurt, you'd wish you were never born!" Tsunade threatened.
"Oh no…" Yakashimi groaned. He was now really afraid of Tsunade.
"Don't worry. I will take care of her." Itachi countered evenly.
"Good! That had better be the case… and stop whining would you?" Tsunade scolded Yakashimi.
"Take care… niisan…" Sasuke said awkwardly.
"I will… otouto." Itachi said with a slight smile. Finally, Sasuke forgave him and believed in him.
The air was tense. Everything's a little to silent for Itachi's liking.
"Hurry! We better get out of Sedano quick!" Itachi commanded.
'He's coming…' Itachi thought to himself. He glanced at Yakashimi and gave him a small nod signaling that something is going to happen soon.
'That's a little too soon… I did not see him coming so early' Yakashimi thought. He gave Yingxue a side glance. 'Hmm… I wonder… how this battle is gonna turn out…' Yakashimi thought, amused.
"Down! Hurry!" Itachi said jumping into one of the bushes. Yakashimi and Yingxue followed suit.
When it comes to assassination, there is no one better than Itachi. At least that is what Yakashimi thought. Being able to kill with out making a sound, the most basic thing that the assassin must have is good senses. Something which Itachi has. Itachi can sense danger up till ten kilometers away.
They waited patiently, not making a single sound and soon saw their leader and a number of followers. It was pretty obvious that they were after Itachi and Yakashimi.
"Itachi. Yakashimi. You can both come out now… you know…" the leader drawled sinisterly.
"Yingxue… stay here. Try not to make a sound. Yakashimi. Let's get this moving. It's not nice to keep our leader waiting… is it?" Itachi commanded with a smirk and went upfront.
"There you are! Oh… you cannot imagine how much I missed you… why bother to still play hide and seek with me?" the leader asked with a smile… a smile that sent shivers down your spine.
"Why, why… I really did not know you did miss us so much… right Yakashimi?" Itachi countered.
"Of course! Well? Are we not out now? Where's my big hug?" Yakashimi mocked.
Clenching his fist, the leader calmly said. "Itachi! Yakashimi! The two of you actually had the guts to create a mould and give it to me? What do you take me for? An idiot?"
"Well, if you want to know… yes… you baka!" Itachi said giving Yakashimi a quick glance giving him the sign to attack.
Yakashimi nodded. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" twelve Yakashimi's shadow clones appeared and started attacking the followers.
"Hey you baka! I am your opponent." Itachi said to the leader who was frantically looking at his followers whom were gettingkilled one by oneby Yakashimi.
"Fine… if you want to play… I will gladly, play with you." the leader smirked. "Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu!"
"Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Itachi countered. Taking advantage of his weak spot, Itachi hit his legs and pushed the leader against the wall.
"Amaterasu (Divine Illumination Jutsu)" Itachi said and glanced into the leader's eyes.
The whole place turned red. the sight of the leader hung on a cross came into view.
Itachi, came into view. Holding a knife, Itachi stabbed the leader.
"Seventy-two more minutes. Before you would be released from my jutsu" Itachi said to the leader.
The pain continued as more Itachi clones appeared. "Don't you forget... This is my world. I take control here."
All this pain… but in the real world, it was just merely a second. To be even more precise, less than a second.
Being the thick headed guy the leader was, he refused to give in to Itachi. Thus Itachi over-used his mangekyou, which caused damage to his eyes. The Sharingan.
Over with Yakashimi was not any better. His shadow clones were weakening and is running out of chakra. This was not a good sign.
After using the sharingan for twenty minutes, Itachi's eyes were definitely getting sore. But he continued. This worried Yingxue. She knew that if Itachi over used the sharingan, he may face temporary blindness. If he suffers from that, the group would be in deep trouble.
The leader knew of this weak point too. He thus took advantage of it and tried to attack Itachi from another dimension.
"You! pig! I will get you for this!" the leader shouted at Itachi. Disappearing out of sight.
"You baka! If you are a man come out and face me!" Itachi said frustrated. His eyes were hurting… too much.
Suddenly out of no where, the leader's sword came into sight. And stabbed Itachi right on his back. "ARGH!" Itachi shouted out in pain.
"ITACHI!" Yingxue called out from her hiding place. No matter what, she was a student of Tsunade. Her speed was very high. Immediately, she sped out to the battlefield and carried Itachi away from the battle area.
"Yingxue… leave… as fast as you can. I would be able to cope alone here." Itachi's strained voice floated to her ears.
Not wanting to receive treatment, he kept fidgeting and refused to stay still.
SLAP!
"STAY STILL YOU BAKA!" Yingxue rebuked. Itachi was stunned. This was the first time he saw Yingxue so worked up. So he became a good boy and allowed Yingxue to give him treatment.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!" Yakashimi did the seals again. 'Itachi… you did better be alright… I can't finish off this battle alone.' Yakashimi thought anxiously.
After Itachi was healed and could fight, he went back to the battlefield. Tears glimmered in Yingxue's eyes. "Itachi…" Yingxue whispered to no one.
'Haha… isn't that the girl Itachi is with? Hmm… I wonder, if I kill her, what would his reaction be?' one of the Akatsuki members thought. Smiling wickedly.
"Argh…" Yingxue cried out in pain. The Akatsuki guy stabbed Yingxue while she was not paying attention.
Blood spluttered everywhere.
Unfortunately for that poor Akatsuki member, Itachi saw the whole scene. Angry at the guy, and frightened that he may lose Yingxue forever, Itachi lost control of his chakra and killed almost everyone around him. Immediately, Itachi rushed over to Yingxue's side.
"Yingxue…" Itachi called out.
"Itachi… l-leave…I c-can he-heal my-myself… leave!" Yingxue said, barely a whisper.
"Shit! Yingxue… hurt… Tsunade!" Yakashimi cried out once he processed the whole chunk of scenes that have just happened.
"Oh! Just shut up! Lets hurry to Tsunade's or I'll kill you." Itachi hissed
Yakashimi could not do anything else but shake his head and Itachi's temper and follow him back to the village of Sedano.
