"Is that true? Whatever Sasuke said?" Tsuande questioned Kakashi.

"Well, it's surprising that Itachi would come back knowing that the entire Akatsuki clan has been wiped out including their leader. The chances of Itachi coming back are slim…"

"No matter, we must round up our forces, we cannot let our guard down if he really returns. Kakashi, get Iruka and round up all available Jounins, I leave you in charge of this." Meanwhile Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were returning to Konoha when they saw two shadows dashing at amazing speed in the same direction. Sasuke paused and stood in hesistation. He knew it was Itachi, but who was the other shadow following him? Kisame was already killed…

As the three genins rushed back to the village, Kakashi and Iruka were waiting for them. Sasuke spoke, "Kakashi-sensei, he's here right? My brother Itachi."

"Sasuke, that we are unsure but we got the village secured, head back to the academy and take shelter with the other genins. NOW!" As they headed for the academy, an explosion occurred directly at the front gate. Kakashi than told Iruka to get back up. As the smoke cleared, two figures in Akatsuki outfits stood rooted to their postions. "Its Itachi all right, but who's the other? Kisame was killed by Sasuke. I'm sure of that." Kakashi said to himself.As Itachi removed his hat, he began to speak, "Kakashi-san, I suppose I need no intro but for this Uchiha member…"

"Another surviving Uchiha member? It can't be, only He and Sasuke were the surviving members of the massacre!" Kakashi thought to himself as Azuma & Kurenai came back with Iruka.

"So it's you again, who's the new guy?" Azuma asked. "No idea, but Itachi said he's an Uchiha member." Both Azuma and Kurenai stared in disbelief before speaking, "I thought only he and Sasuke were the only living members…" Itachi than turned his attention to his partner, "I'll deal with them, you find Sasuke." As the unknown Uchiha fled the scene with incredible speed, it was down to a four-on-one battle. "Foolish people, I'll take care of you easily…"All readied in their battle stances as the battle began…
