The scene starts with someone putting their foot down. And the next thing shown is Itachi sitting on a throne, all arrogantly. He has his Akatsuki cloak on and looks to be in his early twenties.

'No. Not me.' Itachi sighs. He knew this was bound to happen at some point, but he couldn't say he was looking forward to it. He still doesn't get the actions of his future self.

'Evil Itachi again.' Sasuke glares at the screen. He can't believe this is his sweet brother in the future. He looks like a villain from a superhero show.

'He does look pretty hot.' Ino stares at the screen with hearts in her eyes.

Sakura narrows her eyes. 'I just think he looks arrogant.' She doesn't get what her friend is on about. She doesn't see it. The only one that looks hot is Sasuke.

'That sharingan. How much can you actually see?' Itachi speaks. There is nothing in his voice that can be discerned as emotion.

'How much can I see with these?' Sasuke responds. 'What I'm seeing right now, Itachi, is your death.' Sasuke's face does appear but he lacks the rinnegan. Instead his eyes are the normal sharingan. He's also wearing some bandages around his head.

'Don't tell me this is a fight to the death.' Iruka sighs. This is not what they were hoping for. They were expecting some gruesome scenes but he'd rather that none of his students had anything to do with it.

Kakashi right next to him sighs. 'I fear that might be the case.'

'At least we can get an estimate on the time line. Sasuke doesn't have the rinnegan yet.' Jiraiya is thoughtful enough to point out.

'And the mangekyo. He doesn't have either.' Kakashi adds.

'My death, huh?' It's silent for a second. 'Well then,' Itachi appears right behind Sasuke, 'make it happen.'

'Oh. Badass.' Kiba whistles.

Naruto nods along while bouncing in his seat. 'Shit's about to go down.' It's as if they didn't hear the words of the adults earlier.

Sasuke smiles a little and within the next second they clash. Itachi has a kunai in hand and Sasuke realizes he must use a blade of his own and takes out his sword. He's able to block the next attack just in time.

Next thing you know Itachi has started to attack once again. Twisting his body to try and kick the sword out of Sasuke's hand, it fails. He twists some more and hits Sasuke this time. It makes Sasuke stumble backwards for just a bit. Sasuke doesn't take it badly and goes for an attack of his own. Slashing his sword as Itachi is coming down from the air. But just before he lands Itachi grabs Sasuke twist him around and throws him to the ground.

'They go straight to the brawl. I thought they would talk a little more.' Sakura stares at the screen. Sure, Sasuke doesn't talk that much but she thought he would like to know certain things that he didn't know before about the massacre.

'Sweetheart, Sasuke is too impatient for that.' Mikoto smiles at the girl. She is Sasuke's future teammate, and possible love interest, after all.

'Mom!' Sasuke yells back with his face red.

Sasuke has to reposition himself and makes some signs. 'Chidori.' And the familiar light and sound of the attack fills the area. Itachi stares at his little brother.

'He does like that jutsu doesn't he?' Chouji wonders out loud. Sasuke has been using it a lot in the fragments.

'It's strange that he doesn't use fire jutsu.' Fugaku agrees. Surely his son doesn't have a lightning affinity. Dual affinity would have been fine, but lighting alone, no way!

'It could be that he's one of the founder's children.' Mikoto suggests, referring to a myth within the clan.

'What?' Most of the group that isn't Uchiha turns to look at the couple.

'It's said that the founder of the clan used to control lighting or something like that. So, when a child is born with a lightning affinity then they are one of his children.' Shisui explains. He never bothered with the legend, or any of the others. It's just a fairy tale from the old days.

Sakura frowns. That doesn't make any sense. 'Aren't you all?'

He shrugs her off. 'Technicalities.'

Then Sasuke takes off towards his brother as fast as he can. He puts his hand to the ground. 'Chidori stream!' and the Chidori channels through the ground towards Itachi who is quick to jump out of the way.

'See Kakashi. He's able to modify your jutsu as well.' Jiraiya laughs. He's actually seen Sasuke use the jutsu more often than he's seen Kakashi do it.

'Hmm.' Kakashi goes over the ways to apply such a jutsu. 'Looks interesting.' He's not even bothered in the slightest with Sasuke modifying his techniques.

Just as he approaches the ceiling Sasuke is already there waiting for him. Sasuke is smiling. It's a little creepy. And hits his brother with a sword right through the chest.

'That's it?' Kiba blinks at the screen. He has been expecting something a little grander.

Tsume snorts. 'No way. It's probably a genjutsu.'

'Knowing Itachi, it definitively is.' Mikoto laughs. She knows her sons. It's such a shame it got to this point.

He puts him on the ground. Itachi's finger raise up into the air as Sasuke is staring at them. And then they turn motioning for Sasuke to look that way. And there he is still sitting on the throne. The clone down on the ground turns into crows.

Sasuke stands up straight. He remembers something from before. 'The same line as before and the bird. Another farce with your special genjutsu?

'Even Sasuke knew.' Naruto laughs. He doesn't get what the point is but it sure as hell was funny.

'Has he gotten so bad at hiding it?' Fugaku can't imagine such a thing. Itachi would need the power to stay safe in such an organization.

'I think Sasuke has gotten stronger instead.' His wife suggests. Fugaku can see it, but just barely. He's never seen Sasuke fight before. How should he know the boys capabilities?

'What do you want to know?' Itachi asks, not even bothering with the question. 'It's not over, but I'll hear you out.'

'I'll say it once more…' And then another sword hits Itachi right through the chest. Sasuke has gone right behind the throne and waited to strike. Then there is a strange cut. As if there is a moment Number doesn't want them to see. As the next thing they see is a lightning attack Sasuke sends at Itachi.

'What's with these strange cuts? We saw them before as well.' Lee complains. They've been happening quite a bit lately and they don't cease to be annoying.

'I guess Number doesn't want us to know certain things.' Neji stares. What could be so important that they would skip over?

'My eye is not like it was in the past!' Sasuke screams. It seems that it had something to do with the conversation that was conveniently cut out. 'My sharingan can see through genjutsu!'

'Told you so.' Mikoto pokes her husband in the side. She's proud of her son. He's gotten so strong. If only they could have stayed happy together… that would have been even better.

'You still speak with such confidence. But for now, I'll take your word for it.' Itachi speaks in return. As if there is a hidden layer beneath it.

'Why don't we end this little charade?' Sasuke asks. He stops his attack.

'Being confident is fine. But Sasuke, your eye still isn't the same as mine.' Itachi speaks. The sound of lighting is still being heard. 'So, you couldn't kill the friend who is most dear to you. And you dared to appear before me with such weak resolve?'

'Excuse you! What is the meaning behind that? Are you telling me you killed me?' Shisui suddenly screams out. The kids look at him. What's he on about? Itachi didn't say such a thing.

Itachi's eyes widen. 'I could never.' He mumbles. He stares at the screen. What in the world happened to him?

'Well future you sure is implying it.' Shisui grumbles. Should he start feeling unsafe around Itachi now? No way in hell! Itachi isn't that kind of person. Someone must have done something to him.

'At least I didn't do such a thing.' Sasuke pats himself on the chest.

Shisui nods in approval. 'Good job Sasuke.'

'Then hurry it up and try to kill me with you mangekyo sharingan!' Sasuke yells back as he deactivated his lightning technique. 'Or is it too difficult to test your capability against me now?'

Itachi sighs and stands back up. 'You're pretty sure of yourself.'

'Nah. Sasuke's just sassy.' Naruto laughs. This is funny as hell. But he knows that soon it will turn really epic. At least that's what he's hoping for.

'Don't you mean sexy.' Ino raises her eyebrows a couple times in suggestion.

Naruto's face twitches. 'I'm sorry. I don't swing that way.'

Then another convenient cut happens. It seems that this person controlling number doesn't want them to see certain bits.

Then Sasuke takes of the bandages around his head and then his cloak. He throws them on the ground. He opens his eyes after closing them for a bit. 'I've finally arrived.' He says.

'What's the point of wearing them if you're going to take them off immediately?' Tenten doesn't get it. Aren't these bandages supposed to protect you? Or hold your wounds together.

'There might have been an injury.' Lee tries to explain.

'Wouldn't he keep them on then?' He had nothing to say to that.

'You say you can see my death,' Itachi begins to speak, 'but you cannot win against my mangekyo sharingan. Unfortunately, your goal will end as an illusion. Because you do not possess the mangekyo sharingan.'

Sasuke doesn't respond. Instead he takes of the bandages around his arms revealing some seals on his arms. Then he starts speaking. 'You can use your eyes all you like, but my hate will turn my illusion into reality.' Meanwhile Itachi activated his mangekyo. 'Your reality is death.'

'What's with this emo talking.' Tenten could only stare. If it was anyone else saying such things they would've been called idiots. They're trying too hard!

'It's the drama hidden in our genes.' Shisui explains. Mikoto snorts.

'What?'

'You've seen Madara before, and Sasuke too. We are genetically predisposed to being dramatic.' And they haven't even had the reveal of the masked man yet. Shisui only laughs. Itachi has a small smile on his face as well.

'I've noticed.' Shikamaru snorts out. Why couldn't they just stay home and do nothing. That would solve so many problems.

There is a minute of silence before the actions suddenly begins. They both start throwing shuriken at each other. The barrage never hits someone. They are always able to deflect or dodge the projectiles. This continues for quite some time. Then one of the them surges forward but gets blocked by the other. The wind created by the barrage slowly dies down. They have a good grip on each other. No one makes a move.

Then out of the shadows a clone of Itachi appears with a couple kunai in hand.

'Sneaky.' Chouji takes another bite of the cake in his hands.

'We are ninja.' Is the only explanation he gets.

Sasuke looks up. Even during our shootout, he was able to weave signs for a shadow clone! He screams in his mind.

The music starts playing in the background. In slow-motion Itachi throws the projectiles at Sasuke. Then the camera turns to Sasuke, who has a strange mark on his shoulder. Said mark starts bulging outwards, stretching the skin. And eventually it forms into a snake. The snake wraps itself around Sasuke's body protecting him from the assault and forcing Itachi to take a step or two back.

'Is that what I think it is?' Kakashi murmurs to Jiraiya. Not that many people could hear them talk.

'It sure does look like it.' Jiraiya looks at it once more. 'He's not restraining it.'

'What are you old people talking about.' Naruto yells to the back.

'I'm 22.' Kakashi responds.

'That's thrice my age.' Naruto retorts back.

'…' He had a good point.

'It's nothing to concern yourselves with.' The Hokage says and they all know not to push any further.

Then the sound of a poof appears and Sasuke starts spinning around his giant shuriken and launches it at Itachi, while powering it with his lightning. Itachi is able to stop the weapon for a bit with just a kunai and a bit of force. But then the weapon is able to the go through Itachi's arm. And his disappears in a flurry of crows.

The crows make their way toward Sasuke who's watching them with intend. Then Itachi appears in front of his and kicks him right into a wall. Sasuke falls to the ground. He's about to use another lightning attack but Itachi returns to punch him in the gut. Sasuke starts couching a fit.

'Brutal.' Ino stares at the screen.

'I've seen worse.' Kakashi sighs. This wasn't even that bad.

'Sasuke is his brother.' Ino explains.

'That's a good point.'

Then Itachi has him in his hold and reaches forward with two fingers. Like he always did. He stops right around Sasuke's left eye for just a second. 'Forgive me Sasuke.' He says before he grabs the eyeball. 'This is my reality. Give me your light.' And then he pulls it out. Luckily the camera turns black at just the right moment.

'Holy shit!' Shisui yells out suddenly. Never in a million years had he been expecting Itachi to do such a thing.

'Language!' Mikoto throws a book at the boy. It hits him right on the head.

'Sorry.' Shisui rubs the place the book hit.

Sasuke can only stare at the screen in disgust. 'Did Itachi just rip out my eye.'

'Does that mean he'll replace it with the rinnegan?' Neji points out. It's the same eye, if he remembers correctly.

'That could very well be.'

The next thing they see is Sasuke clutching his face with his free hand and Itachi holding the bloodied eyeball in his hands. It's a little gross.

'I told you.' Itachi speaks. 'You do not possess the mangekyo sharingan. You can never win against my eyes.' Meanwhile Sasuke is shuddering and moaning from the pain. 'I'll take the other one too.' Is what he says next.

'This is a lot.' Itachi's face is pale. He can't bear it that much longer. This is too much for him. How he wishes he could snuggle up in his blankets now.

'That must hurt.' Sakura states. She can barely keep her eyes on the screen.

'No shit.' Kiba points out. 'Sasuke can barely hold it in.' He's glad his family doesn't have any eyes worth pulling out.

Next thing he knows a strange pattern starts covering Sasuke's body. It looks like it's burning but not outright hurting the boy. Then all of a sudden, a giant appendage appears from Sasuke's back. It shatters the wall behind him and forces Itachi to jump away. The giant appendage looks to resemble something like an arm. Sasuke is still shaking from the pain.

'What in the world is that?' Tsume nearly screams out. She's never seen anything like it. And she has experiences a strange Kiri nin that could create limbs from wood.

'Orochimaru's curse mark.' The Hokage explains. He's never seen it in action before. With Anko they were quick to restrain it.

'What does that mean?' Naruto asks. He doesn't like it that all these adults are keeping secrets. First about the Kyuubi, and then his parents. Why don't they just tell him?

'I don't know much about it myself. But it seems it gives Sasuke some extra power.' The Hokage elaborates.

Next up Itachi takes out a vial of greenish fluid. Sasuke doesn't look to notice it. But his eyeball that was ripped out before gets neatly placed inside, now floating in the fluid. Itachi calmly closes the vial. Sasuke can only watch as he recovers from the pain.

'This is the difference in our strength.' An arm appears behind Sasuke and grabs him from behind. 'The difference between your ocular powers and mine.' Itachi continues. For all he's worth he is saying the same shit over and over again.

'Why does he keep saying that?' Tenten doesn't believe any of it. She's seen actors on stage before and this is reminding her of that quite a bit. A least Sasuke seems genuine. Itachi is as expressive as a wooden plank.

'It's like he practiced his lines beforehand.' Ino agrees with her. She's seen her father with a couple emotionless people before and this is not like that at all.

'Knowing Itachi that could very well be the case.' Shisui laughs. Sasuke joins in as well.

'I don't do that!' Itachi grumbles. His face is still pale but a blush of embarrassment covers his cheeks nicely.

'Nii-san is lying. I saw him talking to the mirror before.' Sasuke tells the group. It sends the people in a laughing fit.

'Sasuke!' This only makes the laughter louder.

The other Itachi makes his way over to Sasuke. Itachi reaches out to grab the other eyeball but something stops him. The strange markings from before go to Sasuke's eye and cover it, turning it black. And then from his back two snakes appear, piercing the body that was grabbing him.

'What does Sasuke keep stored in that body of his?' Shikamaru is a little disturbed, and he's seen chickens devouring a rat before.

'It's like it's a portal to another dimension.' Chouji agrees with his friend.

'That actually sounds pretty useful.' Shino points out. The group stares at him. He's the one with insects in his body.

Then the area goes strange. Some shakes and the view turn inverted black and white. Then the screen starts cutting itself apart. Next thing you know Sasuke is back where he was, and so is Itachi. Sasuke is still grabbing the area around his eye. But now he has both eyes again. Sasuke falls to the ground.

'Oh. It was another illusion.' Naruto is a little disappointed. When is the epic battle coming?

'Don't tell me this is going to be one of those fights.' Iruka sighs. He doesn't like those at all, and half the people at his chunin exams were genjutsu users, those battle were, to put it bluntly, way too boring.

'What fights?' Sasuke tilts his head to the side.

'In which you don't know what's real and what's not.' Iruka explains. You get all emotionally involved and then boom it was all a lie.

Then Itachi falls to the ground, clutching his eye. 'You broke through… my Tsukuyomi?'

'Take that! Of course, Sasuke would be able to!' Ino cheers for her crush.

'He did get trapped in it twice before.' Shino points out. The hearts in Ino's eyes disappear and she snorts at the boy.

'Shut up.'

Slowly Sasuke stands back up. 'Like I told you. No matter how much you use those eyes of yours, my hate will turn illusion into reality.'

'Make illusions a reality, eh?' Itachi recovers and stands back up. 'Then let me throw those words right back at you.'

'What's going to happen next?' Naruto is bouncing in his seat again. Is something real finally going to happen.

'Patience.' Sasuke hits the boy on his head. Naruto shoots a glare at the boy.

A small cut happens and then Itachi starts speaking again. 'You saw your eyes gouged out during the Tsukuyomi just now. Well, allow me to make that a reality.' Itachi puts his hands together in a sign. But Sasuke is quick to intercept with another giant shuriken. No wait scrap that, two of them. And that's not all, he also uses his lighting chakra to power them up even more.

'Fancy.' Tenten snorts. To get such a weapon… well that does take up quite a bit.

'That must cost quite a bit of money.' Kakashi agrees with her. He had looked into getting one at some point, but didn't once he saw the price tag. And since you're bound to lose them… it's simply not worth it.

'Those things aren't cheap.' Jiraiya agrees. Especially chakra conducting ones.

'Sasuke has the whole Uchiha inheritance to fall back on though.' Sakura points out. The faces of the adults darken. No wonder. He has all the money of a clan spanning a couple hundred, that even on their own is better off than most in the financial aspect.

'So, he's rich?' Shikaku grumbles. 'Lucky him.'

Itachi is quick to dodge, moving his body just right to slip through the two of them. But Sasuke was prepared for that as well and uses the ninja wire attached to the weapons to set them off and fall apart. The parts of the weapon fling all around them. One of them lands in Itachi leg. And he promptly falls to the ground.

Sasuke smirks. His plan worked!

'He got Itachi!' Lee cheers. Things are about to get real.

'Sasuke really got a lot stronger.' Itachi stares in wonder. He's able to hit his future self. That's impressive.

Itachi glares at his brother, vision blurring.

Sasuke is still smirking. 'Backlash from that earlier Tsukuyomi?' he taunts. 'I like that.' Now it's his turn to start weaving signs. 'Fireball jutsu!' he yells, and the classic fireball makes his way to Itachi.

'Now he starts using fire.' Fugaku doesn't cheer out loud but inside he's proud. He's still an Uchiha.

'Can't you create lighting from fire attacks as well.' Sakura is quick to point out. Fugaku sighs.

'You could, it's just not very easy.'

Itachi just manages to make it out. But Sasuke notices and readies the Chidori in his hands. He jumps up as well. And the next thing you know is that the roof gets busted.

Itachi flies out of the smoke and returns by weaving his own signs and shoots a fireball in Sasuke's direction. He then lands on top of the roof. He waits for a bit for Sasuke. And when the smoke clears Sasuke is there with the strange arm like appendage protecting him from the fire.

'Sasuke is hot and all but that arm is just creepy.' Ino says. It's all weird and gross. She doesn't want to touch that ever in her life.

'He should start acting in those horror movies. He'll fit in nicely.' Naruto laughs. Even though he hates ghosts he does like typical zombies and such. It's a little strange but his birth month is October for a reason.

'Naruto!' Sasuke yells out.

Now they both start weaving signs for the fireball technique and their jutsu clash. It goes a bit back and forth before Sasuke manages to take the lead. Next thing the camera focusses on Itachi, who's eye starts bleeding.

'Is that normal?' Kiba asks. It doesn't look very normal.

'It only happens if you strain your eyes too much.' Mikoto knows. She's had it happen a couple times and it's an absolute pain! Blood sticks to your lashes and once dried is nearly impossible to get off. It hurts.

'Then what is he doing?' Why would he do that then?

'Amaterasu.' He says. And from within the fire black fire appears. It completely takes over the technique and approaches Sasuke. Sasuke notices but he doesn't need to do anything. Itachi stops the technique before it can his him. But the previous fireball battle did stop.

'That just looks overpowered.' Naruto complains. Why doesn't the Kyuubi come with such OP powers. That would make things a lot easier.

'The mangekyo is overpowered.' Shisui agrees. He doesn't use it often though. Such power comes with a price.

Then Sasuke starts running to the side. Around and slowly makes his way to Itachi. Itachi follows him with his eyes and spouts flames in Sasuke's direction. But because Sasuke is running he gets away just in time every time. Then he sets the surrounding area on fire in a trail to follow Sasuke. He gets closer every second and eventually hits the strange arm in Sasuke's back.

Sasuke falls to the ground. He's screaming in pain. The trees surrounding the building are on fire, burning steadily.

'He's been pretty careless.' Hiashi points out.

'Who?' Fugaku won't tolerate that man insulting any of his children.

'Itachi. There are several things that I expected him to be able to dodge.' The man explains. Several instances already that should have been a piece of cake for a ninja at Itachi's caliber, especially in the future.

Fugaku doesn't know how to respond to that, because he agrees. He doesn't want to admit it though. 'I can see where you're coming from.'

'And now he's burning the surrounding area as well. If I didn't know any better, I would say he's short sighted.' Hiashi continues his analysis.

Shikaku sighs. 'Now that you mention it.' That could be something to take note of.

Itachi pants as he approaches the fallen Sasuke. He stares at his brother and is about to reach out until Sasuke dissolves, leaving the area beneath him broken.

'Ew. Gross.' Ino doesn't like slimy things like that. It reminds her of gross insects and stuff.

Sasuke is now back inside the building, he looks up at the hole he's made. And smirks. Again, the strange markings cover his body and his hair grows. He makes another sign.

'Why does it make his hair grow? I don't get the science behind that.' Itachi grumbles. What's with the strange science in these fragments. Suddenly getting longer hair must get in the way.

'That's what you're worried about?' Shisui mutters but after staring at his friend for a bit he knows why. Itachi doesn't want to think about the end of the fight. Since it would likely result in the death of either him or Sasuke.

Back on top of the roof Itachi coughs. Blood comes out of his mouth.

'Why is he coughing up blood? Sasuke only hit him in the leg.' Inoichi points out. If it was the gut he could understand, but the leg. That just doesn't make any sense.

'That is strange.' Shikaku takes note. Something strange is going on with Itachi and he wants to get to the bottom of it.

Next thing Sasuke sends a wave of fire in Itachi's direction. The ceiling he's standing on breaks under the pressure. Itachi jumps out of the way just in time. But every time he lands another wave of fire erupts beneath his feet. The clouds above them begin to darken. Eventually the entire ceiling falls apart. Smoke covers the area. Itachi is still safe on top of the ceiling. But one of his eyes has changed pattern, it's completely red with a pupil.

'What does that mean?' Naruto asks. He hasn't seen it like that before.

'To tell you the truth. I have no idea. I haven't encountered that before.' Fugaku takes note but can't come up with anything. Such a thing would warrant a search through the clan archives.

He looks down at his brother and winces. Sasuke down on the ground is panting as well.

'That Amaterasu earlier seems to have taken quite a toll on you.' He says. He stumbles under the pressure. The markings over his body disappear and he turns back to normal. 'This will probably be my last jutsu.' He smirks.

'What's he going to do.' Lee asks. He can feel the tension rising.

'He's going to go all out.' Neji explains. He's seen it once before from a cousin, it's a guarantee of awesomeness.

Thunder could be heard in the distance as Itachi stares him down.

'The sharingan can assess chakra. Stop bluffing. I can see that you're out of chakra.' Sasuke slowly stands up. 'You evaded my Amaterasu using Orochimaru-style substitution jutsu. A well-made substitution to deceive, but it uses an enormous amount of chakra.'

'What jutsu doesn't require chakra?' Iruka wonders. He never encountered once before and anything that could come to mind is a bloodline. But most of them use chakra as well.

'A jutsu that uses the outside influences on the best of their ability.' Kakashi explains.

'You've used one before?' Iruka turns to the man. He couldn't have expected that.

'No. I encountered someone once that was able to direct the water in a waterfall without using any chakra.' He explains. The group is a little impressed but their attention is still on the screen.

Thunder keeps on rumbling around them.

'You're right. I don't have any chakra left. I used it up in that last fire style jutsu.' The rain starts pouring down around them. 'However, do you really think I would come here to kill you unprepared?' He's smirking. 'It will be instantaneous. This jutsu is just like Amaterasu. It is impossible to dodge. Now, as you wished, I'll create… your death!' The thunder flashes in the distance. Rain pours down on top of them. Sasuke looks at Itachi. 'I obtained power and hatred, and now I'm here. Itachi! This is where you'll die! By my hands!' Thunder and lightning strike.

'Sasuke is going to use the lighting in the sky, isn't he?' Iruka says. It's no doubt going to be something powerful. The child inside of him can hardly wait.

'That would make the most sense.' Kakashi replies.

Then Itachi feels something. He looks up in surprise. Around the building electricity is gather in the lightning of the thunderstorm. It's gathering above him. The brothers stare at each other. The flashes of lighting illuminate the area.

'That looks shitty powerful.' Shisui stares at the screen in awe. If only the Sasuke here could teach him that.

'Language!' Mikoto yells at the boy once again, and also sending a book at his head. Shisui dodges, which he shouldn't have done cause another book hits him from behind. When did that happen?

Sasuke activates the Chidori in his hands. He jumps up on top of the ceiling, on top of the rods that reach into the sky. Lighting flashes around him. 'This jutsu brings lightning down from the heavens. I merely direct its power toward you.' Sasuke explains. He raises in hand towards the sky. 'The name of this jutsu is 'Kirin'.'

'Kirin. I never heard of it before.' Fugaku says.

'Could it be a jutsu of Sasuke's own creation?' Hiashi suggests.

'If it is, then he should be proud of himself.' Fugaku nods in approval. Sasuke creating a jutsu like that… he could get on top of that.

Itachi looks up. Shocked by the power.

'Come!' Sasuke yells and the atmosphere changes. A dragon made of lightning descends down from the sky. Itachi gasps in surprise. 'Vanish with the roar of thunder…' Sasuke makes some motions with his hands and the dragon goes back up. Only to bold down at a magnificent speed as Sasuke puts down his hand.

'Holy moly!' some of the kids scream out. This is nothing they've seen before. It looks simply magnificent. They can only hope that in the future they are capable of using techniques like that as well.

'This is awesome!' Naruto cheers. This was what he's been waiting for.

'I wouldn't want to be caught by that.' Tsume states. She's seen the damage lightning can to someone. This must hurt a lot.

'Me neither.' Inoichi shudders. He never liked these theatrics. He prefers doing the side jobs. It's more his style.

Itachi is consumed by the light and the jutsu. The entire building explodes in the impact.

Sasuke is back on the ground, panting as he waits for the result. Itachi lays down on the ground, face down. Seemingly unmoving. The lightning in Sasuke's hands disappears and his sharingan deactivates.

'Is he dead?' Naruto asks. His voice is soft to not offend anyone here.

'A part of me hopes he is. Another doesn't want it at all.' Sasuke says. He can't really imagine Itachi dying. Then again, he can't imagine Itachi turning evil either.

'Is this where I die?' Itachi stares at the screen with his sharingan activated, as if to catch the details of his future demise.

'It's over.' He mumbles as he falls to the ground. The ground around them is smoking.

Then the screen turns black.

'Is this the death you wanted to recreate?' Itachi asks. Sasuke opens his eyes in shock.

'Oh fuck!' Ino shouts out. She hadn't been expecting that. It was pretty badass though.

'Nope. He's alive.' Sasuke shudders. What's going to happen to him now? If that was his last technique.

'How in the world did he manage to survive that?' Chouza asks. Lightning is one of the deadliest elements and here Itachi is still safe and breathing.

'I can only think of one thing. Susanoo.' Fugaku explains. His face darkens. He almost witnessed one of his children dying. No matter how cold he makes himself out to be it does hurt him quite a bit.

'The same thing Madara used?' Naruto asks.

'Yes.'

Chanting could be heard in the background as Itachi slowly stands up. His arm is bruised, and blood comes from his mouth.

The strange pattern covers Sasuke's body once more. 'You!' He screams. He thought he was finally done. His hair grows once again.

A red aura covers Itachi's body. It's the Susanoo. 'Without this I would have been dead.' He explains. He stands up. 'You really have grown stronger.' His eyes are pitch black, empty. 'This time I shall show you my final trump card. The Susanoo.'

'Yours is red. The opposite color of mine.' Shisui points out. Trying to lighten the mood somewhat.

'Red and green are complementary colors.' Hiashi snuffs. 'Poetic.'

Sasuke looks in shock. 'Susanoo?'

'When these two powers awakened, one more jutsu took root in my eyes. Sasuke, is that it for your jutsu?' Itachi asks. 'If you are hiding another power, don't hold back.' Lighting gets through the dark clouds. 'The real battle is only beginning.'

'You sure about that? Why? You look like you won't be able to walk over to Sasuke.' Shino points out.

Shikamaru nods. 'He doesn't look good. That's for sure.' It would be amazing if he managed to walk like that.

'Sasuke is in the same boat.' Chouji is quick to point out.

Sasuke is shaking in his seat. He wants his mother now. He looks at her and she opens her arms. He makes his way over and settles down in her lap. He feels safer here. Itachi watches with jealousy. How he wished he could do the same thing.

Tendrils appear from within the Susanoo and begin to form the armor surrounding it.

'What's the matter?' Itachi asks. Sasuke is not moving. 'Have you used up your chakra and run out of options?'

'What?' Sasuke yells but immediately after he winces. There is a strain on his body. He falls to the ground. A couple snakes appear from his back, it doesn't look like it's what Sasuke wants to do.

'What in the world is happening now?' Tenten shudders. Something strange is going on with all these snakes. She doesn't trust snakes. They're toxic.

'What did Orochimaru do to you?' Mikoto murmurs soft enough that Sasuke isn't able to pick up on it.

'From the looks of it. This is Orochimaru's eight-headed serpent jutsu.' Itachi stares at the creature. Itachi steps forward and the two giants reach for each other. Susanoo effortlessly cuts off some of the heads of the creature.

Another strange cut happens.

Now the snake creature is being absorbed by the Susanoo. Leaving Sasuke bare and half naked.

'Why was that cut?' Lee asks.

Shikamaru shrugs. 'Only number knows.'

'This is it Sasuke.' Itachi states. The cut off heads disappear in smoke. Itachi is panting and starts coughing up more blood.

'Now it makes a little more sense for him to start coughing blood.' Inoichi says. But he's still not convinced that it's because of the injuries from the fight.

'I still think it's strange.' Shikaku agrees with him. Something is up with Itachi and he doesn't know what. But he also doesn't want to worry the parents.

Sasuke is panting as well.

'Now… your eyes are mine. I think I'll take my time to retrieve them.' Then another surge of something happens and Itachi coughs up even more blood. The armor disappears from the Susanoo. Sasuke swings his sword at it. But Itachi is still able to block it.

'Something is up with Itachi.' Neji is able to pick up on it as well. He's heard of the boy before and what he's seeing now is strong, yes, but he was expecting better.

'Did he fight another battle before this?' Tsume wonders out loud.

'Doesn't look like it. His clothes were pristine.' Chouza points out.

Itachi makes his way over to Sasuke, slowly and stumbling. It's like he's not even looking where he's going.

'I agree with Hiashi now. It does look like he's short sighted.' Fugaku doesn't like it one bit.

'Could be the effects of the mangekyo?' Shisui suggests. It's the most likely option.

Sasuke sends a kunai with a couple tags attached in the direction of the young man. But the Susanoo is able to block that as well. Itachi continues his walk over to Sasuke. Sasuke stumbles backwards.

'They're my eyes… Mine…' Itachi raises his hand.

'Sheesh. That's creepy.' Sakura mutters. She doesn't really know what to think about the fight. Something doesn't quite sit right with her. It doesn't diminish her crush on Sasuke in the slightest but… something is not right.

Sasuke takes out another sword and launches himself at Itachi but this gets reflected as well. He falls backward onto the ground. Right up against a wall. He can't move away any more.

'He's trapped.' Ino nearly yells. Is this the end?

'I thought Sasuke was going to make it out alive?' Lee says. After all, he did not have the rinnegan yet.

Itachi raises his hand even more. He reaches out to Sasuke. Sasuke realizes he's not able to escape any more. Itachi's hand goes for his face. He mumbles something, but Sasuke is not able to hear it. Itachi smiles.

'Why is he smiling?' Sasuke asks. He's terrified. Something is wrong. He clenches his eyes shut and leans even more into his mother's embrace.

'Something is up.' Neji narrows his eyes. Like many of the others he noticed that something is wrong. He doesn't know what. But something.

Sasuke stares in shock. Itachi's hand reaches his face and touches his forehead, like he always did. Then he falls down, his hand leaving a streak of blood. Itachi falls head first into the wall. He's dead. On the ground.

'That's it?' Naruto says, a little dumbfounded.

'What… just happened?' Kiba is just as taken aback as Naruto. And they're not the only ones. Most of the people did not expect it to end that way.

Sasuke is panting. No doubt the experience must be a bit much. It's starts to rain again. That's where the scene ends.

'Wow.' Nothing much is said.

'That's how I die…' Itachi sniffles a couple times. There are no tears in his eyes but it's obvious how the experience is affecting him.

Shisui puts his hand on his shoulder. 'Don't worry. We'll make sure you won't go insane here.'

'…'

'That was certainly something.' Hiashi states.

'It must be strange. Watching your own death.' Tsume agrees. She's just happy that up until now there are no hints to either her or her family dying. It's a relief.

'Seeing that you died versus watching your own death. Both are terrible but there must be something different about it.' Inoichi says. He sighs. The part of his brain that like to investigate things like that is being forcefully suppressed for now.

'I think we could all use a break now.' The hokage says. And they all nod.

Added notes:

- Itachi dies before Sasuke gets rinnegan

- Sasuke has the dopest jutsu in Kirin

- Something strange happened with Itachi

After a little bit they sit down again. 'Are we going to watch more? Or shall we keep it at this today?' Iruka asks, he turns to the Uchiha family in particular.

'I… don't know.' Sasuke begins. 'I don't feel like watching anymore but I do want to go to bed with a good feeling.'

'I think we'll keep it at this for now.' The Hokage concludes and they all go for their bed. They could use a bit of sleep after the happenings for the day.

Sorry for updating so late! Last week unfortunate circumstances prevented me from updating. And this week I was busy as well. Next week there won't be an update, because there is a test week at school and I want to focus on that. The week after that I hope to be back.

Special thanks to all the people that suggested this scene and voted on it during the poll. It is now here. Yes I cut away anything to do with Zetsu, I tell that it's something to do with Number not wanting to show it but it's more like I don't want to write his commentary. Heh. Next up is? I don't know yet. People have been suggesting more Indra Ashura, so probably that.

I think I'm going to start switching up the moods of the chapters. Like first a serious one and then a funnier one. To balance things out. I think that will keep my interest better.

See you all in a couple weeks.

edit: something went wrong with uploading and the chapter didn't show up. It should be fixed now.
