Chapter 6
Kazumi turned around to see a blur of black and red run past the door. She ran after it and started chasing it until she got to a cliff. The place where she had killed Itachi. She looked up at the figure in front of her. Her heart was thumping faster than usual. "This feeling……it scares me……" Kazumi walked closer to the figure and realized he was dress exactly like Itachi! He was even the same height! "HOW DARE YOU DRESS UP LIKE HIM!" she growled at the figure who gave a small chuckle. "Now, now Kazumi…….is that how you greet your teacher?" The figure pulled off his hat and Kazumi gasped as she saw a familiar brown eye and a blue eye. Her old eyes before she had transplanted the Mangekyou Sharingan into her eye sockets long time ago. "I-I-Itachi…? But you're dead. I killed you" Her legs felt like jelly as she saw her 'dead' mentor standing right in front of her.
"Come now. You really think a small fireball like that could kill me?" Itachi walked up to his former student and smirked. "You're grown quite a bit, Kazumi. It makes me want to eat you" Kazumi slumped to her knees. "No……this isn't Itachi-sensei. THIS ISN'T HIM!" She glared at him but gasped when she felt her headband and ANBU mask disappear. Kazumi slowly turned her head to see Itachi standing behind her with those two items in his hand. He smirked and looked down at his fallen student. "You're an ANBU now……I'm not surprised but I am proud" He dropped the headband and mask and took out a kunai and stabbed himself on the palm of his hand. He let his blood drip and soak into the two items he stole from Kazumi. Her eyes grew wide as the blood of Itachi dripped on the mask. Her eyes grew watery and started to tear as she looked up to see Itachi kneeling down in front of her.
"You're not him……You're not Itachi-sensei!" Itachi smirked. "Kazumi, I told you before and I'll tell you again. Shinobis don't show their emotions" He wiped off her tears but at the same time his blood stained her now pale face. Itachi stroked cheek and his fingers trailed to her earring. The one that was made from his ring. He took it off from her earlobe and took off the hook she put on it so she could wear it as an earring. "I'll be taking this back…." Itachi smirked. Kazumi felt paralyzed as all this was happening. He looked down at his student and twirled his finger around in her hair. He cupped her cheek again and got closer to her lips.
"KATON KARYUU ENDAN (Fire Type - Fire Dragon Flame Blast)" Itachi dodged the attack, leaving Kazumi wide open. Before the fire reached her, she felt someone grab her by the waist and jump into a tree. Kazumi looked up to see Kakashi look down at her. "You ok?" Kazumi started crying and hugged Kakashi. "KAKASHI! HE'S NOT DEAD! HE WAS ALIVE ALL THIS TIME!" He looked at her like she was crazy but then realized what she was saying. "Itachi…………" He held her and jumped down from the tree. "Is she ok!" Sakura ran over to the two ANBU. "Yea, she's just shocked right now. Take care of her, Sakura!" "Yes sir!"
"ITACHI!" Sasuke growled as he saw her older brother in front of him. "Ah, Sasuke……you've come as well. I didn't expect that" Itachi looked over at Naruto who was standing by Sasuke. His face started to change as the lines on his face got thicker and his eye color went from blue to maroon. "Kyuubi…." Itachi looked past them to see Kazumi sitting by a tree with Sakura tending to her. "You should be on guard Itachi……you'll never know when someone will get you!" Kakashi grabbed Itachi from behind and threw him across the field, but only to find out it was a clone. "You should take your own advice, Kakashi" Itachi held a kunai against the copy-ninja's back. "When did you make a clone?" Kakashi was angry now. "Just before you grabbed me" Itachi answered with a smirk on his face.
"I have to help them…." Kazumi tried standing up but she ended up slumping back down. "Don't move, Kazumi-sensei! The genjutsu Itachi used on you was a powerful one. Your chakra is unstable and who knows what will happen when you're fighting" She looked at the pink-haired chuunin and closed her eyes. "The Itachi-sensei I know would never use a genjutsu that powerful on me……"
"I thought you were dead, Itachi" Kakashi stood about a good 15 meters away from him. The missing-ninja smiled and glanced at Sasuke and Naruto. "I'm supposed to be but I couldn't leave my student alone." Kakashi glared at him. "You told her to kill you! So why did you pretend your death!" Itachi chuckled. "I'm not the real Itachi. I'm just an explosive clone" The real Itachi held Kazumi in his arms. He dropped her by the clone and disappeared. She slowly woke up and looked around her. "How'd I get over here?"
"Kakashi-sensei!" Kakashi looked back to see Sasuke holding Sakura. "Damn! How did he get pass us so quick!" "5….4….." the clone started counting down. "Damn! There's no time!" He ran towards Kazumi and grabbed her. Sasuke, who was still holding Sakura, and Naruto were right behind him. "3…..2…..1" At the same time the clone exploded, the two ANBU and three chuunins had jumped off the cliff. "No……..ITACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Kazumi screamed her teacher's name. "NARUTO NOW!" Kakashi commanded.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU (Summoning technique)!" A giant frog appeared below them and they landed on him.
-----
"Hmm….." Kazumi woke up to find herself on Kakashi's back. Everyone else seemed ok except her. "You're finally awake." Kakashi looked back at her. "How long have I been sleeping?" "For a day now…..We should reach Konoha by nightfall" Kazumi then realized her ANBU mask and headband were missing. "Kakashi, where's my mask and headband!" Kakashi stopped and put her down. He dug through his backpack and pulled out her mask and headband. Kazumi still felt weak from the genjutsu Itachi used on her. "Itachi………" She remembered how her mask and headband were drenched in her teacher's blood and made a disgusted yet sad face.
"We cleaned the blood off………but—"
"No it's ok………"
"…………"
"Kakashi-sensei, let's take a break" Sakura suggested since her other sensei looked tired.
"Alright………" Kakashi looked at Kazumi who was still staring down at her mask. A sad expression took over his face as he joined his students under the shaded area beneath the tree. "Is she gonna be alright?" Naruto asked with worry. "Hopefully………"
"Kakashi-sensei………can I ask you something?"
"Hmm……what's that Sakura?" Kakashi took a sip of the tea Sakura had brought along with her.
"Do you like Kazumi-sensei?" The silver haired ninja choked on the water substance and stared at his pink-haired student. "What kind of question is that!" He stared as all 3 of his students had an "AH HA! I knew it!" look on their face. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"YOU LIKE HER DON'T YOU!" Naruto jumped up and pointed at him. Kakashi held his head and sighed.
"If you don't answer us then we're going to tell Kazumi you like her" stated Sasuke, bluntly.
"Are you in kindergarten!" The ANBU was shocked to hear something like that from the cold Uchiha.
"Hmm? What are you guys talking about?" Everybody looked up to see Kazumi leaning against the tree they were under.
"Oh we were talking about the old days" Sakura smiled. "Are you feeling better, Kazumi-sensei?" Kazumi nodded and smiled as the breeze played with her black hair. "I've decided to leave everything in the past and find Itachi. He was my teacher and I have something to say to him" Kazumi looked down at her students.
"And since you're my students……you're going to train everyday from sunrise to sunset!" Her expression was serious now as she grinned and looked down at her surprised students. "WHAT!" Naruto was the first to talk out. He charged at Kazumi but she just flicked at his forehead and he was sent flying. Déjà vu for Naruto.
"Eh!" Sakura stared at her new teacher. "The ability to copy any genjutsu, taijutsu, ninjutsu even other bloodline limits. That is my advanced bloodline limit." Kazumi said with a proud look. "Ah! You must have copied that from me when I smashed into the ground the other day!" Sakura was fascinated by her new female teacher.
"That was so not fair!" Naruto got up and glared at Kazumi. "KAZUMI-SENSEI, YOU'RE JUST LIKE THAT OLD HAG!"
"Are you calling me old? I'm only 16……well soon to be 17" She laughed at the foxboy. "HEY! Don't' call Tsunade-sensei old!" Sakura slammed her fist to the ground making Naruto fall into the crater. Everyone laughed at this.
"Geez, Sakura. How many senseis you got?" Sasuke smirked at his girlfriend.
"Only 3" She blushed and tackled her boyfriend.
"Only?" Sasuke leaned back as he held her.
"Awww……young love!" Kakashi and Kazumi exclaimed as they saw their students cuddling.
Sasuke blushed and Sakura laughed.
