Hi, there ^^ sorry for the bit of delay with this ch ^^ Suki is heading back to the leaf and gets to chat more with Itachi ^^ hope you enjoy I don't own Naruto just my OC and the perytons ^^

Italics are for inner thoughts


CH 16

Itachi nods knowing this is all hard for me while making my way to the leaf village I talk more about what happens as he listens to me. Itachi had relaxed on the fact I know so much and was originally from another world than this.

But, he couldn't question it too much seeing the knowledge did help him connect to Sasuke at the very least. Itachi"...so what is your plan for all this coming Suki?"

I sigh looking down a bit." to be honest I'm not even sure, theirs are different ways I could go about it, I could up and destroy Pain myself like I did Hidan...but even I'm not sure wilt powers will help me get close enough to him..."

I thought so much about what to do as I know even in video games I played having to fight Pain, or even in the anime, he was tough so I can't just wait to read his movements or try to time when he unleash his strongest jutsu on me in a fight.

" Not all my knowledge will help, if I don't get the power to back them up,...I guess some part of me knew I had to tell someone...but I was never sure on who it be..."

Itachi thinks and looks at me. Itachi" will you ever tell your teammates or those you are involved with?" I flinch hearing this and shake my head rapidly at this.

"no! absolutely not!... I know they might believe me...but...they might change how they see me...and...I know this sound pretty selfish...but I'm in a good place, with my friends and family..and even in relationships...I don't wanna risk messing it up..."

I was shaking a bit as the feared everyone turning their back on me if I revealed the truth to them Itachi puts a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

Itachi" I'm sorry Suki, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to tell everyone. I guess in your old world you weren't this happy were you? is that why you wish to keep holding onto this life you have?"

I stop walking as I put a hand over my heart and clenches it as I look at Itachi"...I don't wanna say that...sure there been bad times, I used to get bullied a lot..and I was pretty weak back then...I used to get so upset that I cried so much..."

I grimace at just remembering my old life in my old world. " I barely had friends, one of the things that made me happy was anime and reading manga... I enjoyed the characters, their journey and how they act in their world...you can say I envied them..."

I sigh thinking of all the other animes I enjoyed as I remember them." even still there was a lot of bad in my old world...the bad vastly wayed the good...I guess I always wanted something different, a chance for change...even though I'm not a fan of changes.."

I take a deep breath as I look up." but...it wasn't all bad, I know that...because it had anime in it, and he had this world too, even if it was fiction there... I do like it here, this is real, this is my life now... and I wanna use my knowledge to the best I can, I may not know if I can change the outcomes...but I'm going to damn try...mainly for those I care for.."

I turn to Itachi at the end and smile as he can't help but smile back at me. Itachi" I admire your honesty Suki, and your will to fight for what you want... you really wanna protect people." he chuckles as he pats my head a bit I blush at this.

" hey, I thought you only poke foreheads, not give head pats." I was going red from embarrassment as Itachi chuckles more. Itachi" I know but I thought this be nice, and you're the perfect height for it, Suki."

I keep blushing as Itachi soon stops having thinking I been embarrassed for long enough now. Itachi" alright ill stop but we do need to get serious, you need a solid plan to make sure Jiraiya doesn't get killed and how to deal with Pain attack."

I take a deep breath and nod as I keep thinking." yea I know, it won't be easy.. theirs is a lot to consider and I don't have much time before Jiraiya leaves to go to the Rain village, where Pain will be... all of this is getting stressful I got to admit..."

I sigh as I rub my head trying to soothe the headache I'm getting as Itaqchi puts a hand on my shoulder to comfort me. Itachi" I understand this is a lot, but please know I'm here with you Suki and so are your Perytons, we are the ones who know the truth."

I look at him feeling a bit better as I nod. After walking more the Leaf village comes into view as I stop and turn to Itachi. " Ok then, this is where we part for now... I promise ill have a plan soon and get word to you Itachi."

He nods and smiles at me. Itachi" of course Suki, please don't try to overdo it, I hate for you to let all the knowledge you have a breakdown, this is your life, I don't want it to crumble around you."

I smile at this and nod bowing to him." ok then thanks again Itachi, we will see each other soon." I hug him as he was a bit surprised by it but smiles hugging me back.

After a few minutes, we pull away and said one more goodbye as I turn to head for the Leaf Itachi disappears into the shadows for now as I get to the gate as I get back in without any issues.

I head on home now feeling drained in so many ways as I also had a lot of thinking to do. Thankfully my parents weren't home so I goes right up to my roof garden I took my journal with me.

I check my plants and water some that needed it as I sit on the bench I put in my Garden I open my journal and read the last bits I wrote and start to write more.

"mhmm... should I put a seed on Jiraya so when he gets badly injured it protect him? it will fall into the water...but things might be different...but should I tell him...mhmm I'm sure he believes me.."

I think about it all and all the different outcomes which could happen regardless of which one I will take. Neither I was sure how things will turn out as it will affect things to come as well.

"mhmm if I save Jiraya..then he can get Naruto trained in Saga mode, maybe faster this time and in time for Pain to attack...I hope..." I lean back as I stop to take a breath from such intense thinking now.

I take a few minutes before going back to planning. "...which way do I go...this is much more difficult than anything else...all the other choices I made worked out...but I'm facing much more powerful people...these are boss fight level strong..."

I sigh thinking about all the games I used to play with difficult bosses and remembering all the times I get defeated by their crazy attack patterns. " For them, you just got to know their pattern then time your attacks...but I don't think I can use that kinda thinking.."

I sigh more as I take some deep breaths as I enjoy the scent of all my plants it does relax me as I was glad I went to my garden to do all this thinking.

"mhmm...you know I'm going to do it, this should work...I know it will work." I smile a bit finally deciding on a plan after some back and forth on what plan to go with.

I feel much better as I close my journal and get up and go to my room and put my journal away as it got late I get ready for bed having gotten something to eat as I lie down shutting my eyes.

Hours go by as soon morning comes around as the light shines in my room I slowly wake up as I sit up and yawn rubbing my eyes." mhmm morning...got to do the plan..." I stretch a bit before getting off the bed and getting ready for the day now.

After getting dressed and taking more time to brush and tie my hair. I head downstairs as I greet my parents as we have breakfast together. I enjoy the food once I'm done I clean up and thank my parents as I head out for today as I focus hard on trying to find the person I need to find.

I soon find him and wasn't surprised it was at the bath houses I sigh at this and head there now. I make it there as I easily stop where I see Pervy Sage hiding in a tree peeking on the woman's side of the bathhouse.

I think about what I should do now as I smirk a bit as I take a deep breath." aaaahhhh! theirs a pervert peeking at the women in the bath house! his in the tree!"

I scream as loud as I could and point at the tree hearing this suddenly startles Jiraiya as he falls out of the tree with a loud thump. People come out of the bathhouse many were angry women as they all crowd around Pervy Saga and start beating him up.

I just watch all this happen a few feet away as I chuckle being the cause of this as I felt it was worth doing. The beating last for a couple of minutes till all the women were done and goes back inside leaving a heavily beaten Pervy Saga on the ground.

I laugh and walk over to him kneeling and holding my hand over him as it turns green."...wow...you sure got beaten up pretty badly, I wonder how that happened." I smile at him being innocent as he glares knowing it was because of me.

Jiraiya"hmph you ruined my peek- I mean research!...you better have a good reason..." he grumbles as he stays still for me to heal him. After a few minutes, I stop and stand up as he does to feel better.

"oh yea I did, but I couldn't resist when I saw you in the tree...so not sorry there" smiles as Jiraiya sighs more at this. " but yea...I got something really serious...and it's a lot too..." I look at him seriously as he notices this and nods.

Jiraiya" ok I see, well let's go someone to talk to then Suki.." I nod as we both walk off now we head to a quiet part of the village at a bench as we sit down.

I look around and also sense my surroundings making sure no one hears what we're going to talk about. Jiraiya notices this as he was a bit concerned about what I'm going to talk to him about.

Jiraiya" if you acting like this, it must be serious, is everything ok? your not fighting with your boyfriends?" he looks at me as I shake my head." oh no no, it's nothing like that...depending on your reaction...this could go good.. or worse...so please bear with me ok..."

Jiraiya nods as I take a deep breath I look at him and start talking to him."... I have been hiding something...something big...you see.."
