Itachi found himself in the same place where he had found the 2 kids, Hiroshi and Akina. When he looked to the sky, he smelled black smoke, and then noticed that Hidden Moon was under attack and part of the village was under a fire. Itachi wondered, but he didn't care. Before he left, he heard his name.
'Mr.Itachi, help!' was the voice. Itachi didn't know it until he thought for a longer moment.
'Sounds like that girl,' he thought. He stopped and turned around, and saw the girl running faster than a normal genin. Itachi wasn't surprised, and she ran to him.
'What the hell do you want?' he asked. She panted, and almost fainted, grabbing Itachi's arm. He raised an eyebrow, and made her stand up.
'Mr.Itachi, our village is'-
'I know, I can tell that your village is under attack,' Itachi interrupted her.
'Well, it is some weird shadowy guy! He attacked the Tsukikage, and now we are all confused! Hiroshi ran away and warned me, but I didn't listen, and now I don't know what to do! Help me! Please!' Akina yelled, crying. Itachi thought for a minute, and knew exactly whom it was, but he couldn't help.
'I can't exactly help, but'-
'Please Mr.Itachi! Help!' she cried, interrupting him.
'She cries as though I used Mangekyou sharingan, jeez,' he thought, as he started walking away. She grabbed onto his leg, and then let go when she realized that he had already started running and used a replacement jutsu.
'Please help! I'll tell you everything I know about the female that I found out if you do!' she yelled. Itachi raised an eyebrow; if it were about the Utopia, it would make his life a hell lot easier, but how could he trust her?
'Tell me, and then I'll help,' he said, but she kept yelling.
'IF IT DOESN'T HELP, YOU CAN KILL ME FOR WASTING YOUR TIME, BUT PLEASE! JUST HELP OUR VILLAGE!' she yelled. Itachi couldn't imagine a small genin asking this of the likes of him. He sighed, and very unwillingly, went into the village, as the girl led him into it.
'Aka-sama, what are you doing?' Itachi asked him. He was the shadowy guy that Akina was talking about. He looked right at Itachi and glared.
'You were supposed to get Kyubi, Itachi,' he growled. Akina hid behind Itachi, scared to death.
'Yea, well… I found out about someone much stronger than all of the biju, and I was looking for that creature; besides, if it failed and was really a legend, I was going to find the Kyubi, you know,' Itachi told him. Aka-sama went up to him and growled, but Itachi looked right at him.
'Besides,' Itachi added, 'I already checked out this crappy village; there was nothing but genin, chuunin, and jounin. I only came here because I thought that Kisame had brought the Kyubi kid here; guess I was wrong, oh well, I'll go to Konoha or just find Kisame.' Aka-sama believed Itachi, only because he had sensed Itachi being here before, and he sensed that there was nothing really interesting in Hidden Moon village.
'Whatever, I'll leave then,' Aka-sama told Itachi, 'but you better leave and never come back here unless you find some biju or sort, Itachi, or I'll kill you.' Itachi glared at him, and Aka-sama left. Everybody looked at Itachi, and Akina hugged his arm.
'Thank you thank you!' she exclaimed. He threw her off of his arm and onto the ground.
'Akina! You are okay!' Hiroshi exclaimed, running from out of nowhere. They hugged, and Itachi was about to start leaving, but the Tsukikage went up to Itachi, and Itachi glared at him.
'We thank'-
'Listen, I didn't mean to help you, I just wanted some information, okay?' Itachi growled, and Tsukikage sighed, and left. Akina, Hiroshi, and Itachi left Hidden Moon, and then Itachi grabbed Akina by the shoulders, and then threw her into the ground, and pinned her with kunai at her wrists and ankles.
'Speak, kid,' he growled. Hiroshi tried to stop Itachi, but Itachi knocked him unconscious with Sharingan.
'I've traveled to a few Hidden villages, and I usually read,' Akina started, and Itachi was growing impatient, and was about to use Tsukiyomi, but then she spoke faster.
'And I found out about a place Utopia that may be the place for the summoning! I have the map! I have the map! But I don't know how to read this type of map!' she cried, gritting her teeth, ready to take pain. Itachi felt that she was going to trick him, but the information so far was true, so he just trusted her, knowing that he would just kill her if he betrayed Itachi.
'Where the hell is the map?' he growled, a kunai to her throat. She said that she kept it in her shirt, and Itachi raised an eyebrow.
'…Why?' he asked.
'So the guys in the village wouldn't want to get it,' she told him. Itachi released her.
'Take it out, now,' he demanded, and she hid behind a tree and threw the map attached to a shurikan and Itachi caught it. When he opened it, the map became a strange 3-D like map, and it showed places that Itachi had never been to. Akina leaned over his arm and showed him the place she said that she recognized.
'That could be our starting place; it is in the Land of Spring,' she told him. Itachi looked at her.
'Are you telling the truth? You know I could kill you if you lead me into a trap,' Itachi told her. She nodded.
'I wouldn't betray; I'm one of the most honest people you'll ever find in Hidden Moon, besides Hiroshi,' she told him, smiling. He had a serious face, blinked, and then grabbed Hiroshi by the collar and dragged him by the collar until he woke up, which was halfway through the journey to Land of Spring, which was surprisingly peaceful.
After they reached Land of Spring three days later, Akina examined the area, and Hiroshi helped Itachi with the map, or at least tried; Itachi wanted to do this alone.
'I leave you guys to go back on your own,' he said. Akina and Hiroshi grabbed kunai and glared at Itachi.
'Hey, you owe us for telling so much information!' Akina growled, but then stopped. Hiroshi sighed.
'I saved your village; that's enough,' Itachi told her. 'You'd die, anyways, if you came with me.'
'But I want adventure!' Akina whined. Hiroshi grabbed Akina before she was about to slash Itachi with her pair of sai.
'Akina, c'mon, we aren't involved in his business,' Hiroshi tried to convince her, but she pushed him and looked eye to eye with Itachi.
'You saving the village owed us for the first part of the information,' Akina growled. Itachi shook his head.
'Hey, I owed you by not killing you, so I'll be going,' Itachi told her. She growled, and tried to attack, but he used Sharingan and made her fall asleep. He looked to Hiroshi, and he nodded.
'I'll take her back,' Hiroshi told Itachi.
'We never met, and none of this is happening, or you will die in 3 days or so,' Itachi told Hiroshi. He went with the first part, and ran away, carrying Akina.
'That girl is really exasperating,' he thought as he left for the Utopia she was talking about. 'Also, this better be the right Utopia for the summoning,' he thought, leaving for the three day journey. There would be 3 stops in-between to get to the Utopia, and Itachi was ready.
