Kakashi froze. Something was seriously fucked up. His doggy hadn't returned to him, he sensed him to be dead. Sasuke's chakra had seemed to vanish from his ninja sensors. And Sakura whom he'd sent to find back up had not done what he'd asked.
"Kakashi, why didn't you just go straight after Itachi?" Gai asked anxiously as they shot through the forest.
Kakashi winced and closed his visible eye for a moment, "Trust me Gai. Itachi's not one to be taken on alone."

Sasuke screamed. Perhaps he was dying. He couldn't breathe without struggling and his blood was everywhere.
"Sasuke." A deeply amused voice said from beside him, "I can't believe after all these stupid fucking years…you are still so damn weak!"
Sasuke looked up wearily, his exhaustion and injury had left him with severely foggy vision. As he spoke his voice was but an angry croak.
"Itachi." He growled, "You'll die today…that's a big fucking promise!"
Itachi seized Sasuke's face as he was about to speak again and he squeezed it like a person would do to irritate a chubby faced child.
"How cute. You still believe that your words mean something."
Sasuke felt Itachi's grip tighten on his face, crushing his cheeks between his sharp bloody fingernails until they left marks.
"Gaaargh!" Sasuke screamed as his brother flung him to the ground like a bag of old shit.
Itachi blinked, something inside him was hurting, his chakra was wearing down a little. He seized a kunai from the trunk of the tree that was caked in Sasuke's blood and then he picked up Sakura's dead body. It was still a little warm.
"Sasuke…" Itachi said quietly, his lip curving up a little, "Come, fight me weakling…you don't want to see your girlfriend defaced do you?"
Sasuke opened his eyes; he'd had them clenched shut for a moment, fighting against the raging pain from all of his injuries. Not that his body was feeling much anyway. Soon so much blood would be gone, that Sasuke would cease to feel…wouldn't that be nice…?

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said suddenly.
He'd been sitting in the hospital bed wondering what the hell was going on, when it all came flooding back to him. He called out her name, every time he thought he heard her outside his door.
"Sakura-chan." He repeated, as someone shuffled on by outside.
She'd promised to come back and talk to him over an hour ago, but it seemed everyone must've been far too busy to care.
Naruto got up out of bed and unwrapped his bandages. There had been numerous deep gashes and burns inhabiting his skin previously, but time and the Kyuubi had healed them well.
"Hey." Naruto called as he stepped out of his room to find an extremely worried Iruka sensei running past, amidst several other frustrated ninja, "What's happening Iruka sensei?"
Iruka stopped abruptly, his eyes wide in relief, "Naruto! Y-Your better already, thank God!"
Naruto grinned, "Why wouldn't I be, it was just a little wound…"
Iruka's face turned deadly serious, "Naruto, it was not just a little wound. Itachi and Kisame hurt you bad. If everyone hadn't shown up when they tried to kidnap you again, you might have been killed."
Naruto didn't speak; he didn't know what to say.
"Oh Naruto…look, just get some more rest, I've got to go, there's a lot of trouble out here." And with that, Iruka shot down the corridor, leaving Naruto worried and confused.
Naruto walked through the hospital bored, not sure what everyone was fussing about when he saw Kurenai and Asuma being rushed to the emergency-healing centre. He caught Shizune's arm as she dashed by.
"What happened!" Naruto gasped.
Shizune shook her head and continued on by, "They've escaped."

Sasuke began to cry. This was something Itachi found quite sweet. It reminded him of the past when Sasuke had been truly young and had first seen Itachi's strength when killing their parents.
"Why?" Sasuke asked trying to stop the tears, "Why?"
Itachi grinned; he had one foot on Sasuke's back pressed into ground, after he'd knocked him out of the tree and Sakura's torn off face in the other. Blood dripped of the flapping skin and Sasuke retched.
"My dear sweet little brother," He muttered contemptuously, "Why? You mean why are you so weak? Why can't you kill me? Or why is no one around to protect you?"
Sasuke puked, the face being torn off one of his comrades was too much to handle. But then he grinned hysterically, "No. I meant…why are you such a freak?"
Itachi was about to stomp on Sasuke's face when a kunai shot towards his torso. Itachi leapt back and mused at the newcomers.
"Sasuke…Sakura! Oh my God! Sakura's face!" Gai screamed as he and Kakashi arrived.
"You sick bastard." Kakashi muttered, firing up his raikiri, "You sick twisted fucking bastard!"
The sound of violently twittering birds erupted about Sasuke's ears; they stung his eardrums but awakened his mind to the presence of his sensei.
Kakashi lunged forwards, blue lightning exploding in bursts from his right palm lighting up Itachi's irritated face.
"Go my rival!" Gai yelled dashing forwards also.
Itachi swerved away and Kakashi missed, Gai kicked him squarely and sent him flying into a tree. Then the raikiri sank into his chest. Sasuke could smell burning flesh and he smiled when Itachi finally screamed in intense agony.
Itachi fell to the ground, his chest was burnt and blood was everywhere, from the lightning raikiri having feasting upon his flesh.
The two rival ninjas stood watching as Itachi looked up his sharingan activated. Then they panicked.
"Don't look!" Kakashi yelled.
Both ninja clamped their eyes shut. Kakashi cautiously pulled up his forehead protector and squinted at Itachi with his sharingan eye.
"Mangekyo sharingan…Tsukiyomi" Itachi growled, struggling to stand up.
Kakashi took a step back and he interlocked his fingers preparing for a jutsu, but then he froze and fell to the ground. In his mind Itachi had just killed him over and over again with a katana…talk about déjà vu.
"Kakashi?" Gai asked worriedly, his eyes daring to open, only to see his body unconscious on the ground.
Itachi winced; his chakra was dying on him because of the use of sharingan. If he didn't hurry up he might pass out.
Gai sensei closed his eyes again and swiftly kicked Itachi in his bleeding guts. Itachi coughed as he was flung back into the tree once more. Gai then dashed forwards and sunk his foot into Itachi's stomach, before twisting round and kicking his head. There was a subtle poof and Gai realised he'd been attacking a substitution, when at that moment turned into a log. He opened his eyes to find Itachi's face right up close to his and he gasped before dropping lifeless to the floor.
"Fuck you all." Itachi grumbled as he deactivated his sharingan and coughed up blood.
Sasuke was hiding behind a tree and he was ashamed of it. Never in his life would he have thought that he'd be that weak that he'd have to hide from his brother.
"Where are you Sasuke?" Itachi asked hoarsely, "Where the fuck are you weakling?"
Sasuke inhaled as quietly as he could. He needed to think. Suddenly Itachi's face was right next to his. Covered in blood like an older mirror image.
"Sasuke…I hate to admit it, but I'm tired…and wounded. Let's end it."
Sasuke ducked as an arm swung at him. Itachi was surprised. Even Sasuke was surprised. Where had this sudden burst of energy come from?
"Aniki." Sasuke hissed, "It's true, let's end it."
Itachi narrowed his eyes and lunged forwards again only to miss, then he realised what was happening. The curse seal that Orochimaru had given him was spreading all over Sasuke's wounded body, at the same time it was healing it.
"Fucker." Itachi grumbled and then he formed some hand seals, flames shot at Sasuke and set his hair on fire.
"Arrrrrgh!"
Sasuke dropped and rolled against the ground before springing back up to be kicked in the stomach. It seemed despite having a curse seal, Sasuke was still somewhat weak.

Naruto rushed through the forest. Why hadn't anyone told him earlier! He was so pissed off that he was the last know. Itachi and Kisame had escaped and everyone had gone after them. He looked briefly as he saw a dead dog lying on the dusty ground, but he froze when he saw a dead Kisame plastered to a tree.
"Kisame…" Naruto laughed excitedly. If Kisame had been defeated, then surely Itachi was too?
He rushed on, tree after tree, when eventually he got to the place where all the blood had been shed and he let out a distressed cry. Sakura was definitely dead with her face lying on the left of the forest floor and her body in the tree. The senseis were both out cold and Sasuke was being kicked in the guts over and over, fighting back occasionally, but still not winning.
Naruto's eyes watered as he looked again at Sakura's dismembered face and then he let out an immensely fucking fierce battle cry.
"Kagebunshin no jutsu!" He yelled as numerous clones appeared, and then, "Rasengan!"
The powerful blue orb caught Itachi in the back and he flew forwards, shoving Sasuke into a tree from impact. Sasuke groaned, but part of him was happy Naruto had finally shown up.
"Naruto," Sasuke gasped, "It's about time."
Naruto was furious and hi m and all his kagebunshins pulled the older Uchiha up from the tree and began pounding him mercilessly.
"Did this bastard do that Sakura!" Naruto finally asked as he paused for a breather, leaving the exhausted and broken Itachi face first in the dirt.
Sasuke nodded.
Naruto closed his eyes, and when he opened them again they were transformed, showing the Kyuubi's fox-like powers. His fingernails turned into claws and his chakra became so powerful that it radiated off his skin like red fire.
"Fucking die!" He screeched as he pummelled Itachi's body around like a punch bag. Itachi wheezed and gagged as he felt his internal organs break further.
"Naruto…" Sasuke coughed, "Let me do it."
Naruto stopped and turned off his kyuubi power. Sasuke had waited a long time to kill Itachi, and even now, Naruto had done most of the killing.
Naruto picked Itachi up by his hair; his ponytail had become loose long ago. Then he dragged Itachi's body through the ragged dust grounds to Sasuke, whom was wearily propped up against the tree.
Sasuke laughed and Naruto joined in. It was a laugh of triumph and sorrow, of loss and pain. But it was still a laugh that could be shared between two friends, as Itachi's death was finally here. Itachi's horror would end.
"Good bye aniki." Sasuke grinned as he pressed a kunai to his brother's throat.
Itachi growled and he spat, "I fucking hate you."
Then the last blood was poured and Uchiha Itachi fell in sync with his brother to the ground. Whereas Itachi was finally dead and defeated, Sasuke was just tired.
