2. Chapter 2

Shisui Uchiha/Original Female Character(s)

Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fan girl in pre-shippuden and Naruto would have his Father's smarts while keeping his Mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them and I also do not own Sailor Moon as there is nothing that is really wrong with it or even Sailor Moon: Crystal though I would have added more Character development in it. I do, however, own Ami Uzumaki-Senju and Ryouka Uzumaki-Namikaze. Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!

…My Line…

A young mid-back length, slightly wavy, pulled into twin buns on both sides of the head making it fall to the shoulders, brown hair with bangs parted in the middle while framing sunkissed face and childlike almond doe shape electric cobalt blue eyed 6-year-old girl sat in a large bed like crib next to a newborn baby boy after a blonde haired and blue eyed man had dropped him off before leaving again. The 6-year-old had her eyes where she felt a lot of hate and malice at before she turned heard towards the sounds of a teleportation technique to see the man from before reappear with a red haired woman.

"Kaa-chan? Tou-chan?"

The blonde haired man stood from his kneeling position and turned towards the crib.

"But, why...?"

"Never mind that," he told the redhead. "Just stay with Ryouka and Naruto."

He then placed next to the two children though he gently touched the younger female on her head.

"Naruto, Ryouka," Kushina Uzumaki said weakly as she held the infant before pulling Ryouka Uzumaki-Namikaze or to the rest of the village, Ryouka Uzumaki, close to her while Minato Namikaze watched with his fists clinched. "Thank you, Minato..." Kushina looked over her shoulder weakly as he got ready for the battlefield. "And good luck."

"I'll be right back," he informed the redhead.

The brown haired girl watched her Father flashed away before she turned back to her Mother and baby Brother.

"Kaa-chan..." Ryouka whispered.

"Everything...is going...to be...ok...Ryouka-chan," Kushina told her eldest.

Ryouka couldn't help, but feel that everything was going to change and that that night, the night of her baby Brother's birth would be the last that she would see of her parents alive. The young Uzumaki's head snapped up and towards the village before her Father flashed in. He grabbed her and the redhead as the 6-year-old grabbed Naruto before Minato flashed them out just as the Kyuubi no Kitsune crashed right where they had once been.

"I must erect a barrier now..." the Namikaze panted. 'I don't have much chakra left.'

"I can...still...do it...Minato," the older Uzumaki told him.

The Father and Daughter duo watched as golden chains erupted from Kushina's back and chained the Kyuubi to the ground.

"Kaa-chan!" Ryouka called out as the redhead coughed.

This had Naruto crying from his older Sister's arms.

"Woke you up...huh?" Kushina asked as she looked at him. "Sorry...Naruto."

"Kushina?"

"I'll take the Kyuubi with me to my death," Kushina said as she looked at Minato. "Because that way we can reduce the interfold between now and when he re-emergence again...it's all I can manage now with what little chakra I have left. But, I'll be able to save you three. So thank you...for all that you've done."

Tears welled up in the young Uzumaki's eyes as Naruto crying calmed down.

"Kushina, your the one...it's was you, who made me the Yondaime Hokage," Minato told her as he took his infant son from his eldest and placed a hand on her head. "You made a man and you made the Father of these two."

"Oh, Minato," the redhead said with a sad smile. "Please don't give me that sad look? I'm happy you love me..." She then glanced at her crying daughter. "We have a gorgeous little girl and once more..." Kushina then turned her gazed onto her son. "Today is the birthday of our baby boy. But, most of all if I can image me alive and our future, the four of together as a family...I can't really picture us being anything, but truly happy. I guess if I were allowed just a few regrets...I wish I could see Ryouka and Naruto all grown up. I can I could have seen that."

"Kushina, there is no need for you to die in order to kill the Kyuubi," the Yondaime told her. "Preserve what little chakra you have left for your reunion with Naruto at least." Kushina and Ryouka looked up at him in confusion as he whipped a trail of tears from his eyes. "I'm going seal what's left of it inside of him. I would be part of an 8 Sign Seal and since I'm not a Jinchuuriki I'll have to have to use the Reaper Death Seal."

"You can't," Kushina gasped. "If you cast that then you'll…"

"And there's one more thing," the Yondaime went on. "I'm only going to seal half of the Kyuubi. It is figuratively impossible to deal that much power. Also it is strategically unwise. If you take the Kyuubi then there will be no Jinchuuriki until before he re-emergences. This would upset the balance of power between the Bijuu. With the Reaper Death Seal, we can at least seal away half of the Kyuubi forever and as for the other half..." Minato then looked like he was lost in thought. "I'll seal it inside of Naruto with the 8 Sign Seal. I know what your going to say, but remember what Master Jiraiya said about a world of upheaval and also all the calamities that would accompany it. I've become convinced of two things today. First, that masked man, who attacked tonight, will bring catastrophe to the world and lastly, the one, who will stop him is this child, whose Godfather is Master Jiraiya. He will open up the future as a Jinchuuriki. I know it. Somehow, I'm sure of it." He then looked at the young brunette with a smile. "Plus he'll have his older Sister watching over him."

"But, Minato…"

The two Uzumaki watched as he gently placed Naruto down then stood up and ran through hand signs quickly.

"Reaper Death Seal!" he called out. "Let's believe in them. After all, they are our children. After I have completed the seal, I'm going to put some of your chakra inside of Naruto. You won't have much time, but I want you to help him try and control the Kyuubi's power as a Jinchuuriki."

"But, he's our youngest, Minato," Kushina stated in horror. "Which is why I don't want him to bare such a heavy burden!" The brown haired 6-year-old could only watch the scene in front of her. "And tell me?! Why use the Reaper Death Seal!? If it's so that I could meet Naruto even for a short time then there's no need for you to die! I would rather you stay with both of our children and watch over them. I just don't understand why it has to be this way! Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the balanced of power among Bijuu? For his nation? For his village? Why do you have to sacrifice yourself at all just for me?! Please!"

"To forsake one's nation and one's village is the same as forsaking one's own children," the Yondaime told her. "Your own home land was destroyed, you know that. A harsh life awaits those without a land to call their own. Besides our family is...shinobi. Finally, if I were to live, I could never be a substitute for you. You won't have much time with him, but there's something that only you can tell Naruto, something that I just can't. That's a Mother's role. I'm not doing this just for you...I'm doing it for Naruto." The blonde haired man knelt down and picked up the infant. "I would die for my children. It's my duty as their Father." Ryouka could do nothing more then watch as half of the Kyuubi's chakra was taken from it. "SEAL!" That half was sealed away inside of him. 'My body is going numb. Can't believe how heave his chakra is.'

"Damn you!" the Kyuubi growled as it shrunk.

The Yondaime picked up Naruto for a third time before summoning a sealing alter to which the brown haired Uzumaki stood on the other side of.

"Alright," the Father of 2 breathed. "Now for the 8 Sign Seal." He then walked up tot he alter. "I'll seal the rest of the Kyuubi in Naruto." Just then the redhead started to cough getting the attention of the Father and Daughter duo once Naruto was laid down. "Kushina!" Minato rushed towards her. "Are you okay?"

"There you are!" Kyuubi growled as he moved to kill the baby.

Ryouka tensed while looking ready to grab her Brother and get out of the way when all of a sudden both Minato and Kushina jumped in the way, taking the claw themselves and stopping it an inch away from the siblings.

"Kaa-chan! Tou-chan!"

"I said I was their Father," Minato gasped. "Dying for them was my duty."

"Yes," Kushina agreed. "But, I'm their Mother...it's mine, too."

"WHY YOU…"

"I think that this maybe the first time I've...lost an argument," the redhead stated. "I guess that it shows how serious you are about doing this."

"I think you, Kushina," the Namikaze said before he hand signs after taking blood. "Summoning Jutsu!"

In a cloud of smoke a toad appear.

"AHHH!" it shouted. "THE KYUUBI!" He then looked at the small family. "AND YONDAIME-SAMA, TOO! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?"

"Gamatora," Minato panted. "I'm giving you the sealing formulas' key. When I'm done...take it to Master Jiraiya to store it."

The brown haired 6-year-old watched as her Father hand over the key to the toad.

"Alright, I've confirmed that I have the key. I'm off now."

They watched as he felt before saying anything else.

"And now we're safe," Minato sighed. "Kushina, I'm not going to last much longer. I'll start the 8 Sign Seal right now. I still want to put some of my chakra inside of Naruto, too. We won't see him for quite awhile, so let's tell them what we want to say."

"Naruto, Ryouka, don't be picky eaters," Kushina stated. "Just eat a lot so that you two can grow up big and strong. And make sure the two of you bath everyday and stay warm, too. Also, don't stay up to late make sure you two get plenty of sleep. Don't forget to make friends as well. You don't need a ton of them, ok? Just a few is fine as long as their ones you can really trust. And...your Kaa-chan wasn't very good at this...make sure that you two study really hard and learn your Ninjutsu. Always remember that everyone is good at something and not so good at others, so even though something doesn't go well, don't get depress, ok? When you two are the academy, respect your teachers and upper classmen. Oh, now this is important. Regrading the three prohibitions of the Shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Take your pays and put them into a saving account. No alcohol until your of age. To much sake is bad for you, so practice in moderation. And another is men and women. Now remember that I'm a woman, so I don't know to much about it...keep in mind that this world is made up of men and women. And so at some point you two will notice them and that's normal. Just be careful, don't for the bad ones. Just go out there and find one whose just like Minato and I. Oh, that reminds me. Speaking of the three prohibitions. Be weary of Jiraiya-Sensei, ya know. Naruto, I'm sorry to say that there will be plenty of hard and painful times ahead. Just be true to yourself. Make sure to have dreams and the courage to make those dreams come true. Also, Naruto, listen to your big Sister, ok? Do what she tells you to and don't cause her to much trouble, alright?" Tears started to fell down Kushina's face while Ryouka had to look away to keep her own tears at bay. "Oh, Ryouka, Naruto, there's so much, there's so much, so much more, there's so many things that I wish I had time to pass onto you both. So much more I want to tell you two. I wish I could stay with the two of you longer. I love you both. Minato, I'm sorry. I used up all of your time."

"No," he told her softly. "It's alright. Naruto, Ryouka, my words to you both...I guess your talk with Kaa-chan said it all."

"Kaa-chan? Tou-chan?"

"8 Sign Seal."

Ryouka could only watch as the rest of the Kyuubi was sealed into her baby Brother taking her parents lives along with it while she silently cried. However, once the seal complete and the two adults dead, the brown haired girl wrapped up Naruto inside a blanket as a horse size blue furred and eyed wolf appeared at her side.

"Let's get out of here Ookamisora," the Uzumaki said as she climbed onto the wolf's back with Naruto in her arms.

"Right," the wolf rumbled before sprinting away from the sealing site.

"RYOUKA!" a voice from behind them called as they disappeared.

The brunette Uzumaki narrowed her eyes before looking down at the sleeping baby in her arms with a soft look.

'I won't,' Ryouka thought as she looked into the darkness of the forest. 'I can't let Naruto live the cursed life of a Jinchuuriki.' She knew that she had to hide for a week and keep Naruto out of sight for a month or 2. 'I won't...I can't let that happen. Not now, not ever.'

...My Line...

(A Year Later the Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)

"Let's go you two!" a waist length blue tinted black hair and dark eyes woman called out.

Two 7-year-old children ran up to her with smiles on their faces.

"Ready?" a strain looking short brown hair and dark eyed man asked.

The two kids nodded their heads after sliding on their shoes and the four of them left the house.

...My Line...

Ryouka Uzumaki stood next to Itachi Uchiha, a stoic dark haired and eyed 7-year-old boy, in a group of others around their age in front of a building. Her hairstyle and color, skin tone, and eye color haven't changed since she was baby, but her hair length have fell to her mid-back when they weren't in the twin buns that she wears it. The brunette 7-year-old was wearing a sleeveless, knee length, firm fitting, midnight blue battle kimono while on the back outlined in white was a burnt orange spiral as a dark green obi held it together and a pair of opened, back ninja sandals on her feet.

"Congratulation on your acceptance into the Academy," the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said. "From this day forth you must do you best to reach your goals and become Shinobi."

Itachi looked around to see a female member of his clan looking at him with a smile and a wave.

...My Line…

The two of them sat near each other in classroom ready for their first day.

"Now, I sure that some of you have been taught a little Ninjutsu at home, but here at the Academy you'll also train to coordinate and work together as a team when your in a group. You'll learn fundamentals. Their important so learn them well."

...My Line...

The class now stood outside throwing shuriken and kunai targets and to the surprise of some students, both Itachi and Ryouka hit the center of their targets each time.

...My Line...

"Alright Kumno, what's the answer?" the teacher asked once they were back in class.

"I don't have a signal clue!"

"Then Itachi? Ryouka?"

"Its the Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu Seal," Itachi answered.

"And the other one is the Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu seal," the Uzumaki answered next.

"Correct," the teacher told them. "Now remember that everyone for it will be on the test."

...My Line...

"Itachi, come on," Kumno said as they stood in Taijutsu class.

Ryouka stood with Izumi Uchiha as they watched.

"Kumno has already lost," the blonde deadpan.

Izumi nodded her head in agreement as the teacher walked up to the two boys.

"Alright! Begin now!"

The two girls flinched and then sighed at the sorry excuse for a spare that took place.

'Knew it,' they thought.

"That's a match," the teacher announced. "Ryouka Uzumaki and Izumi Uchiha! You two are up!"

The two girls walked over and stood facing each other.

"Good luck," the brunette told her only female friend.

"You, too," Izumi said.

"Begin!"

The two girls shot at each other using their Clans' Taijutsu styles as Itachi watched already having an idea on, who will win.

...My Line...

After the Academy let out, Ryouka went to the Memorial Stone though she did stop at the flower shop first. The Uzumaki read over the names of the stone until she came to the name, Obito Uchiha.

"Hi, Onii-chan," the brunette greeted as she knelt down. "It's been a year since the Kyuubi attacked the village, but I bet you already know that, huh?" Ryouka placed a bouquet of pink carnations surrounding a white orchid and a tea rose down in front of the Memorial Stone unaware that in the trees a masked man appeared. "Well, on the upside, I started the Academy today and it's boring as hell." The masked man cackled softly as he watched her. "I wonder how you managed to get through it. You properly fell asleep in class, right Aniki?" A stray tear fell from a pair of electric sky blue eyes that the spy itch to comfort the 6-year-old. "I...I..." The blonde bowed her head as her shoulders shook while she toyed with a pair of goggles with orange tinted lenses. "I miss you, Aniki. I...I don't know what to do anymore, but I do know that I will give my life to protect my baby Brother, Naruto." The masked man's eye widen as the 6-year-old wiped her eyes. "Oh, I almost forgot. You'll be surprised to know that I'm a Fire primary, Onii-chan. Shocking right?" She giggled. "Especially since Kaa-chan was a Water primary and Tou-chan was a Wind primary. You would think that I'll have either Water or Wind as a primary, right? I…"

"Ryouka!" a female voice called out.

The Uzumaki looked up and over at the voice to see Izumi waving at her.

"Sorry, Aniki, but I have to go," she said as she stood up. "Ja ne, Aniki."

The masked watched as she ran over to the female Uchiha before they left the Memorial Stone site talking about they learn that day at the Academy. Once he was sure that no one else was around, the man moved from the trees to the grave where he picked up the flower bouquet.

'Hime-chan,' was his sad thought. 'I promise that I'll create a world were you'll never have to shade another tear again. A world where you'll have Sensei, Kushina-nee, Ami-chan, and I with you again. I promise. Until then I'll protect you from the shadows."

There was a whoosh and the masked man was gone as if he was never there.

...My Line...

Two months after the Ninja Academy started, once could find both Ryouka and Itachi watching their little Brothers crawl towards them as the older two smiled.

"Good job," Itachi praised.

It was then that the sound of the front door closing reached them having the two 7-year-olds to place the two 1-year-olds down.

"Sorry Sasuke, Naruto," Ryouka told them as the two older siblings stood up.

"Some other time, okay?" Itachi asked.

The two 7-year-olds rushed out of the room and into the hall before running up to two adults.

"Welcome home Chichi," they greeted the male.

"Please teach me a new jutsu?"

"And help me with my Fire Manipulation?"

"A new jutsu?" Fugaku Uchiha asked. "Aren't they teaching you at the Academy?" He then looked at his Goddaughter turned adoptive daughter with a raised eyebrow. "And Fire Manipulation?"

"Those are to easy," Itachi answered.

"My Fire Affinity seems to have combine with the Seal Chains of the Uzumaki Clan," Maika answered next. "So, I need to learn Fire Manipulation or I could end up hurting not only myself, but some one else. And Itachi is right, the Academy is to easy even for an Uzumaki."

"I guess they would be for you two," Fugaku agreed. "Wait for me at the Training Grounds."

"Right," the two of them agreed.

"Just make sure your both are home for dinner," Mikoto Uchiha told them as they put on their shoes.

"We got it," Itachi said as they went out the door.

The two adults watched them leave with smiles.

...My Line...

2 months later, the two adoptive siblings walked into the Academy and was heading towards their class when three boys around their age ran up and hide behind Itachi, who looked confused.

"Who the hell are you two?" a taller and older boy asked as he came top a stop in front of them. "You two a friend of theirs?" The two siblings looked at their classmates before Ryouka got them out of the way while Itachi stood ready to fight. "You freshmen this year...are far to stuck up!"

The Uzumaki rolled her eyes as Itachi threw the boy on his back over his shoulder.

"No way! Wow!"

"Take him to the infirmary," Itachi told two other boys, who nodded.

"Itachi, your really strong buddy," Kumno said.

"Buddy?"

"You can even handle an upper classman, Itachi, sir."

"Sir?"

Ryouka giggled at that as they went on their way towards their class.

"Alright! Move it! Master Itachi coming through!"

"Master?"

The brunette was snirking in amusement as she watched.

'Poor Itachi-nii," she thought amused.

...My Line...

"Your progress reports say that you two are first in every class," Fugaku said as he read the two report cards. "That's my boy and girl, Itachi, Ryouka."

"Chichi, teach us a jutsu?" Itachi asked. "We wish to know more about being shinobi."

...My Line...

The two siblings started to send Shadow Clones in their places to the Academy unless it was a Taijutsu day while they trained in the forest about a month later.

"You two are very talented for your ages," an older Uchiha male told them.

"We're no matched for you, Shisui," Itachi stated.

Shisui Uchiha smiled at the brunette Uzumaki, who went back to her Fire Manipulation training, that Fugaku had showed her. This made Shisui to deflate as his secret crush didn't care much for his presence.

"Come one," Shisui stated. "Is the Academy so boring that you two are skipping it?"

Itachi turned away from him as he went back to his own training.

"We're not skipping school," Ryouka answered this time.

The older Uchiha smiled before he started to help them train by showing them some tricks with their kunai. The two of them soon stiffen when their clones were destroyed before turning to leave.

"What's the matter?"

"We have to get back."

"You both do?"

"Shisui?" Itachi asked "Why must there be fighting in life?"

"Who knows," Shisui answered. "Although if the fighting can be stopped I'd like to stop it."

"Us, too," the two siblings agreed.

"See ya!" Shisui called out as the two 7-year-olds took off.

...My Line...

"Graduate?" Fugaku asked as he looked at the two 7-year-olds in surprise. "After just a signal year at the Academy?"

"Yeah," Itachi answered for both him and Ryouka as his parents were her guardians. "But, the teacher said both parents have to agree. So, they want to talk to you at the school."

"Oh, I see," Fugaku said as he sat down. "Well, that's my boy and girl, Itachi, Ryouka."

Both of them let out a gasp before looking down to see Naruto and Sasuke only to smile.

...My Line...

"Graduates, you'll be signed missions by the village," a man said as the two siblings sat together with forehead protectors around their foreheads a few days later. "We're going to be putting you all into teams deprive of three Shinobi. Each of those teams are going to be under the leadership of an experience Jonin. Whenever you'll be sent out on a mission you'll be under their guidance. Alright, now I'm going to be announcing the teams."

...My Line...

(Two Years Later After the Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)

A year has gone by after graduating and once could find, Ryouka walking towards to the Uchiha Police Force building were she noticed Itachi and her adoptive Father.

"Itachi-nii, Chichi!" she called out as she ran up to them with a smile.

The two males looked over at her as she came to a stop in front of them.

"Ah, Ryouka," Fugaku said. "Back from a mission, huh?"

"Yes," she answered.

The three of them then started to walk the Uchiha Compound's streets.

"We haven't walked together like this in quite awhile," the Uchiha Clan head said.

" Ryouka and I are Genin now," Itachi reminded him. "We have missions."

"Ah, I see," he said as he looked at the two Genins. "Yes, that's right since the Uchiha Clan moved here...3 years have gone by." The two 8-year-olds looked up at him. "Pushed to the outskirts of the village and the Higher Ups took away our authority leaving many Uchihas dissatisfied with their methods. You two are away for that aren't you?" The two Heirs shared a look with each other. "We still hope to regain our power some day and step out of the darkness."

"Chichi look!" Itachi told him.

Fugaku looked around at the other Uchihas, who were watching them with smiles, making a blush appear while the two 8-year-olds laugh.

"What's so funny, Itachi, Ryouka?"

"Sorry, Chichi," the two apologized.

"It's just your the face of the Uchiha and we're proud to be able to walk along side you," the Uzumaki Heiress told him.

"That's enough flattery for now," Fugaku told them. "Why don't we get your favorite snacks on the way back home?"

The two of them smiled and nodded their heads at that.

...My Line...

The brunette Uzumaki looked at her adoptive older Brother in worry while chewing on a pocky stick as they stood outside of the dango shop.

"It can't be helped if their sold out," the Uchiha Clan Head told Itachi just as worried.

"Itachi? Ryouka?"

The two of them looked over to see a waist length brown hair and dark eyed girl, who they knew."

"Izumi?"

Itachi blinked as his Sister gently pushed him forward.

"Go on, Itachi-nii," she told him.

Fugaku and Ryouka watched as the Uchiha Heir left with Izumi before walking away from the shop themselves.

...My Line...

"Nee-san," a 3-year-old neck length, spiky windswept, sunshine blonde hair and childlike doe shape cobalt blue eyed boy said as he went through her things before he held out a bottle of a special healing crème, a few weeks later. "What's this?"

"Oh, that's from that one mission," she answered softly as she glanced at it.

Her mind went back to a mission that her team, Sensei, and her went on to get medical herbs and crèmes from a village that specialized in it. However, it was on their way back to Konoha that trouble happened as they ended up surrounded by a group of 20 rogue C to B ranked ninjas from Iwagakure. And it was when they caught sight of Ryouka that things went from bad to worst as they had called her the Hell Spawn of Konoha no Kiiroi Senko, Minato Namikaze. The three Genin managed to take out three C-Ranked Rogues together while their Sensei took 10, but they still took heavy damage and the first to fall was the Jonin Sensei before all that was left was Ryouka, who screamed and unleashed her Chakra Sealing Chains, which took out 6 of the 7 that was left while also turning their bodies to ashes. However, before the last of the Iwa Rogues could kill, Shisui Uchiha flickered in and killed him to save her.

"Nee-san, why so sad?" the 3-year-old asked her while interrupting her thought.

The female Uzumaki just pulled him into a hug making the younger blonde to giggle.

'Naruto, some day you'll have to learn more about life and death,' she thought as she bowed her head. 'And you'll even have to take a life and might even lose those you care about, but please...don't lose your smile.' Tears fell from her eyes. 'Not like I did.'

...My Line...

The next day, both Itachi and Ryouka were walking by Fugaku, who was feeding a pair of fish.

"You two leaving?" the Uchiha Clan head asked making them to stop.

"Yes," they answered together.

"I see," he said. "You two are only 8 when you, Itachi awoken your Sharingan and you, Ryouka used your Chakra Sealing Chains for the first time, so I'm sure the village wants to observe your abilities. This just goes to show how much power and influence the Sharingan and the Uzumaki still holds. I want you two to be aware of that." Both Itachi and Ryouka clinched their hands into fist. "It brings the Uchiha Clan joy when two of their own exiles and on a personal level I'm very proud of you both, too."

The both of them thought back to their teams death.

'He died, Tou-san.'

'They were killed, Chichi.'

"Just make sure you don't lose on your morels because you, Itachi, have the Sharingan and you, Ryouka, can use the Sealing Chains now," he told them. "Itachi sharpen the power of your eyes and Ryouka, to control those chains...you both must be diligent. Well, I don't need to lecture you two...I mean, you are my son and daughter."

'My friend is died, but Tou-san…'

'My team is dead because of me, but Chichi…'

"Yes, Chichi," the two said together. "We will always be diligent."

Fugaku nodded his head with a smile.

"Well, we better be going," Itachi said as they bowed.

The Uchiha Clan Head watched the two Genins walk away.

...My Line...

The Uzumaki Heiress stood nearby waiting for Itachi to finish putting his shoes on when both Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki ran up to them.

"Nii-san, Nee-san!"

"You two said you both were going to play with us," Sasuke stated.

"We did, didn't we?" Itachi asked as he got up and looked at them.

This made the two young boys to smile.

"But, we have a mission now," Ryouka added gently. "Sorry, Sasuke, Naruto."

"Some other time, okay," Itachi finish as he gently poked their foreheads.

"I'm apologize Sasuke, Naruto," a voice said making them to look at the door to see Shisui. "But, I need your Nii-san and Nee-san for a bit."

Both boys pouted as they puffed out their cheeks as their older siblings left.

...My Line...

"Why did you two lie to Sasuke and Naruto?" Shisui asked them. "Their probably going to resent me now, you know."

"We know it was wrong of us, but Sasuke and Naruto are smart kids," Itachi told him as they were in the Forest of Death to get a scroll. "I-I think they'll understand."

"I'm with Itachi," the brunette agreed as the Uchiha Heir grabbed what they needed.

"My first task is to take along two Genins and secure the scroll in question," Shisui started to explain as Itachi walked up and handed over the scroll. "Even if this training exercise requires two Genins it didn't have to be you two."

"Hey, don't go telling us that now!" Itachi stated as the older Uchiha opened the scroll. "Even if it's not a real mission…"

"Shisui, the Jonin, requested us," Ryouka finished making a light red blush appear on said Jonin's face. "So, we wouldn't be lying if we said it was a mission, right?"

"Well, your half right," Shisui answered as he closed the scroll and put it away. "Let's go."

The Uzumaki Heiress sighed as she followed after the Jonin with Itachi a few seconds behind.

"So what are the details?" Itachi asked.

"There are three parts to it," Shisui answered. "The first part is to find traces left by a fugitive..." The three ninjas used vines to swing through the forest. "And use them to track him." Both Shisui and Ryouka avoided a snake while Itachi killed it. "Hey, not bad."

The Uchiha Heir smirked while the brunette rolled her eyes at her boys...yes, they were her boys, so sue her.

"Boys," she sighed with a fond smile as she pulled ahead showing the speed that she got from her Father's Clan; the Namikazes.

The three of them came to a stop on a branch with Shisui in the middle of them.

"Alright, let's start just from this point," he told them before they jumped to the ground.

Shisui knelt down to look closer at the ground.

'A foot print in the moss,' Itachi thought. 'He doesn't even miss the slightest detail. That's what I expect from Shisui.' Both Ryouka and the Jonin watched as Itachi ran ahead. "This is…"

He showed them a broken piece of wood that he spotted.

"A broken branch," Shisui finished. "Our guy probably stepped on it. Nice."

"That's prospective, but we're afraid it's a decoy," Ryouka pointed out as she got a closer look and notice that something was off while the two boys looked at her, one in confusion and the other with a smile. "Dry wood does snap like that when stepped on, but this piece..." She pointed at the part she was talking about. "Is still moist. Also, there's a clean cut here that matches that tree over there." The Uzumaki Heiress then pointed over at said tree. "So, obviously he was in a hurry to make a decoy. This is sloppy work." She then noticed their looks. "Knowing how to track is a requirement to be an Ookami summoner." Shisui cackled as he walked away with Itachi following while the brunette rolled her eyes. "Boys."

The female Genin was quick to follow after them.

"Don't be disappointed," the older Uchiha told Itachi. "An animal could have left that indent in the moss, but only humans make decoys. If he put his in that direction…"

The Jonin noticed something and signaled the two Genins to join him.

"A stone?"

"Yes," the older ninja agreed. "Dry on the bottom, but moist on the top. The fugitive must have stepped on it and flipped it over."

"But, could this be a decoy as well?"

"Could be," the Jonin agreed. "At least it's a possibility. But, still even if it's only a decoy then the moister on this stone could tell us just how long ago he was here."

"He's right," the Uzumaki second.

"I see," Itachi said as they walked further into the forest.

"From the moister it hasn't been long," Ryouka pointed out. "He may have left a trail."

"You two smell that?" Itachi asked before walking over to flowers that have been disturb.

"Excellent," the Jonin told him. "Come on."

The two Genins nodded before following after him.

...My Line...

The three ninjas stopped at a stream to rest a bit as the sun was going down.

"I think it's just a mark left by a fish," Shisui said as Itachi check something out.

"Oh, so it's not a decoy after all, huh?"

"No," the Jonin answered. "That's one of the main purpose of leaving decoys. Everything starts looking like it might be one. Being able to confuse a pursuer affords the fugitive more options."

"At this rate, I'll never be able to find the fugitive by myself," Itachi stated. "I need to develop better tracking skills."

"I can have my wolves help you with that, Itachi-nii," Ryouka told him as Shisui laughed.

"Maybe, but your half right," the Jonin stated as the younger Uchiha looked over at him with he sat down.

"Huh?'

Shisui took a few gulps of water from a canteen before he handed it to Maika, who took a gulp, and then handed it out to Itachi.

"Go on," the older Uchiha told him. "Drink up." The blonde sat next to Shisui as the younger Uchiha join them. "It's actually because your a genius Itachi." Ryouka blinked when her adoptive Brother started to cough. "That's why I bet you never tried to understand the feelings of something, who isn't." This made the two Genins to look at him. "Having the skills to track a fugitive is important, but so is understanding how he thinks. If you can understand his mindset some times you can even trick a fugitive without strong skills."

"Oh, I get it," Itachi said with a smile.

"So, let's move on to the second part of the training exercise," Shisui told them as he got up.

The Genins nodded in agreement.

...My Line...

"This is the second part?" Itachi asked in confusion once it was dark as a fire was going.

"Yeah," Shisui answered as Ryouka eat from a bento that she had packed from the night before. "Camping."

"But, Shisui, the handbook says that campfires are prohibited," Itachi stated. "So, is there another reason for this?"

"Just eat, ok," the older Uchiha told him as he handed over a fish to the male Genin. "Ryouka ..." The Jonin shuddered at the glare that the brunette leveled at him and the deadpan look Itachi had. "Oh, right. Allergic to seafood. My bad." The Uzumaki went back to her bento annoyed. "Anyways, you are a genius, Itachi."

"I'm still very inexperience," Itachi stated. "Earlier, if I just had more skills…"

"That's true," Shisui cackled.

"Hey, don't laugh at me!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm just so happy."

"I don't think it's funny."

Ryouka watched them with a smile.

"Oh, no," the older Uchiha cackled. "Please listen. I was only concerned that there was nothing I would be able to teach you. But, now?"

"I learned a lot from you today," Itachi answered. "And surprisingly I learned a bit from Ryouka, too."

"And that's exactly what makes me happy," the Jonin stated before eating.

"So, about this campfire?"

"Ah, it's just nice to share a meal with some one you feel at ease with," Shisui told him. "Enjoying a hot meal helps you cheer up...that's all." Itachi laughed slightly. "Anyway, eat it while it's still hot."

The Uzumaki moved to sit next to Shisui and placed a kiss on his cheek making him blush.

"Thanks for cheering up Itachi-nii, Shi-chan," the female Genin whispered in thanks as Itachi took a bite of his fish.

"It's warm and tasty."

"Told you, so," Shisui stated though he had his attention on the blonde.

'But, if were a genius he wouldn't have died,' thought the Uchiha Heir. 'I'm still to inexperience.' "Why some one like me? I've awoken the Sharingan."

"I've used the Sealing Chains of the Uzumaki for the first time, so I want to know that, too," Ryouka confessed.

"Ah, I see," the older Uchiha said softly. "Is that why you two lied?"

"We lied?" the younger Uchiha asked. "But, we told you at the start of this exercise…"

"I think that you two really good at fooling yourselves, Itachi, Ryouka," the Jonin told them. "That's why you two aren't able to grasp your true feelings." This had the two Heirs looking surprised. "You both didn't want to stay home? You two had that look on your faces."

"Yeah, that might be true," the female of the three agreed.

'Shisui picked up on how Ryouka and I felt right from the beginning.'

"I'm always happy to listen anytime either of you want to talk, you?" Shisui asked.

Just then the brunette Uzumaki shot to her feet while looking to her right and before the two Uchiha could ask her what was wrong, the sound of metal on metal was heard. Shisui quickly put out the fire as they took off towards the sounds.

...My Line...

"The final part is about to begin," Shisui told them as they hide behind some rocks before they moved when an ANBU went down. "We're here to aid you." Just then they saw the mask of the ANBU. "Their ANBU!"

"Part of the training?"

"No," the Jonin answered. "Just put that out of your minds." Ryouka bite her right thumb to draw blood. "Why attack a fellow Leaf Shinobi."

"Will you consider leaving and forgetting that you saw this?" a female ANBU asked.

"Look if your going to kill a comrade then I can't turn the other way without a reason," the older Uchiha answered.

"The truth is we're going after those, who betrayed the village," a male ANBU told them.

"And were is the proof of this man's betrayal?" Shisui asked.

"What a waste of time," another male ANBU growled. "Let's just kill all of them."

"Just wait."

"It's not exactly that he's a traitor, but he has evidence that proves, who the traitor is," the female informed the three younger ninjas. "In that scroll he's carrying. If he hands it over then we'll be on our way."

"So, you say," Shisui stated as Ryouka swiped her bleeding thumb over her left wrist and pulse chakra which allowed a katana with a glamming blue blade while it has a white colored cloth wrapped around the handle in a diamond like pattern while the tsube is in the design of a spiral to appear in her right hand.

"Sure you want the intel, but for what purpose?" the ANBU behind them asked as the brunette fell into a fighting stance.

"Come? Isn't it obvious? Anyone, who threatens the village, must be punished. We'll maintain order in Konoha with out code of Darkness."

"You don't have the right to be judge, jury, and executioner," the man stated. "I'll hand this massive over to Lord Hokage. And he will deliver a just and fair judgment."

"A just and fair judgment?" the female asked. "How naive? You betray the village, you die. That's all there is."

"A traitor may have a good reason for their actions," was the growled statement. "The Hokage's wish is to investigate the station carefully."

'That's one way of thinking, however, this involves the village,' Itachi thought. 'The gravity of a traitor vs the village is to great. What Shisui…'

Both Genin gasp when a kunai nailed the ANBU in the forehead only for him to turn into water.

"He substituted himself while we were advising him."

"Don't worry about it," the female said. "My wire was coded in poison once his body goes numb he won't get far."

"Instead of words you carry out your purpose with blades," Shisui stated. "Let to the ANBU...no Danzo's Foundation. The nameless in protecting peace from the shadows that is what a true Shinobi is."

"Then you share the same beliefs that we do," was the returned reply.

"No, your wrong," the Jonin said as he shook his head. "You people are seeking to maintain peace through the power of the blade." Both Itachi and Ryouka starred at Shisui when revealed his Sharingan. "That's not true peace."

"And I…"

"Itachi, Ryouka, stay out of this," Shisui told them.

"I am Itachi Uchiha and I will fight with Shisui!"

"As will I," Ryouka added as she held her blade out in front of her.

"Itachi, Ryouka…"

The three Root ANBU shot at them where they took one opponent each. The Uzumaki Heiress was putting her speed and reflexes to use as she took on the bigger Root Ninja. The blonde had managed to nail her opponent with a kick to the neck only for it not phase him.

"The one your little friend is fighting is a kunoichi that is unrivaled in the Foundation," the big shinobi told her. "If you don't stop him, he'll die. So, retreat."

"Don't mock the Uchiha..." Shisui said having heard what was said.

"Or the Uzumaki," Ryouka added.

"Besides Itachi and Ryouka are geniuses," the Jonin finished as he smirked while both the female Genin and Shisui continued their fights. "Itachi sounds to be going fine. So, we'll finish things up on our end."

"Right," the Uzumaki Heiress agreed as she jumped back, resealed her katana, and started to run through hand signs. 'Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!'

"What?" the Root ninja asked in shock as Ryouka breathed out a whitish blue dragon that then divided to go at him from the left side, right side, and front.

The Uzumaki was soon on top of him the moment he dodged the fire attack with a swirling sphere of chakra in her hand.

"RASENGAN!" she yelled as she slammed the jutsu into his stomach.

This caused him to go spinning into a boulder because of the power of the jutsu which allowed the blonde to jump away from the guy before letting out a sigh. She then turned to watch Shisui, who was running through his own hand signs.

"Teleportation Jutsu!" Shisui announced as what looked like clones appeared when he moved so fast only for them be after images.

'Amazing,' the female Genin thought in awe. "After Image Clones."

"Well, then," Shisui's opponent said as he heard what the Uzumaki said. "If their After Image Clones, I can sense the original." The brunette cackled as she knew that it was impossible seeing that she, herself, couldn't sense the original Shisui and she's a sensory type ninja. "What? This is weird, I can't find the real one."

Ryouka watched as Shisui knocked out his opponent only to have to dodge as the one she fought got back up and moved to attack her.

"Get the hell out of here!" he yelled as he slammed his fist into the stream only for Shisui and his After Image Clones to remain where they were. "What? He wasn't pushed back. Which means that he has no more. What's going on?"

"My Teleportation Jutsu has no mass although you could say that everything has mass," the Uchiha told him just before a whistle was heard. "The Jonin observes of the training exercise have noticed."

The whistle was heard again as the bigger Root Ninja picked up his teammates.

"We'll be watching you from the shadows," he told them in a pained voice. " Ryouka Uzumaki, and Shisui and Itachi Uchiha."

The three Konoha ninjas quickly went to the down ANBU once the three Root Shinobis were gone.

"This is…"

"I'll be fine," he told them. "Don't worry about it."

"Earlier if I had only just observe the enemy more carefully then…"

"Never mind that," the ANBU said.

"He wants us to forget this incident ever happened," Shisui explained to them.

"But, why?" Itachi asked. "His life was threatened!"

"If this incident becomes known it can sowed the seeds of a new conflict," they were told by the ANBU. "That's not what Lord Hokage wants."

'So, the ones, who aid peace from the shadows, are also nameless,' thought the Uchiha Heir.

Soon after the ANBU left, three Jonins appeared and Shisui was quick to explain.

"So, there was fighting, but you assumed it was part of the training exercise," a Jonin said. "Is that right?"

"Yes, sorry," Shisui answered. "They were extremely strong and I was doing my best to protect the Genins, so I didn't see their faces."

"It's ok," the man said. "We're the ones at fault for not noticing their infiltration earlier. I'm just glad that none of you were hurt." Itachi and Ryouka just watched them. "I would like to talk to your tomorrow, but for now consider this training exercise over."

"Itachi, Ryouka, let's go," Shisui said as he looked at them to which they nodded, but when Itachi went to get up he let out a hiss of pain and fell onto his butt again. "What's the matter?" The older Uchiha went to take a look. "Ah. You sprained your ankle, huh?"

"Your making a big deal out of nothing," Itachi told him.

"When you first awaken the Sharingan there's a slight gape between images that the brain foresees and your body's reaction time," the Uchiha Jonin told him as he wrapped Itachi's ankle. "And so some times when you try hard to compass that gape that happens."

"I said that your making a big deal out of nothing," the Uchiha Heir repeated as he was helped to his feet. "Ow."

"Even though you are a genius, Itachi, don't over it, ok?"

...My Line...

Shisui let out a laugh as the three of them walked through the village back to the Uchiha compound.

"It's not funny," Itachi told him from his place on the Jonin's back.

"I'm sorry," the older Uchiha said. "I'm just happy. You know, Itachi, you really are like a little Brother to me. And being able to take you under my wing like this makes me really happy. So, I want you to think of me as your older Brother. You can depend on me for anything." He then looked over at the brunette. "And you can think of me as something more then a friend, Ryouka."

The female Genin looked over at him to see a blush and a flirtatious smirk on his face.

"Maybe," she giggled. "You may never know."

"Hey, Shisui," Itachi spoke up wanting to get away from talks of his best friend and Sister together. "About the ANBU…?"

"Did I make the right decision?" Shisui asked. "I can't say for sure. I don't even known if there is such a thing as justice in the Shinobi world."

"But, that's…"

"We fight believing we're on the side of justice, but if the enemy feels the same how do we know whose really right? You two realized that today, didn't you? There's more to then one side to an issue. You most consider things from different view points."

"From different view points?" the Uchiha Heir asked tiredly.

"You must be tired from using your Sharingan," Shisui stated when he heard the tired tone of Itachi's voice. "Go ahead and sleep. But, one thing is for certain that no matter what happens I would never, ever, ever betray you two." Ryouka started at Shisui in surprise while Itachi started to fall asleep. "You both never have to worry about that."

...My Line...

(6 Years After the Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)

"Here's your equipments," an ANBU told two 11-years-old as he placed two boxes down in front of them.

"Yes, thank you," the male of them thanked.

The two 11-year-olds picked up the two boxes and walked towards the changing rooms.

...My Line...

The two Chunins walked inside a room to see a group of ANBU standing around.

"We're starting our ANBU assignments today," the male said. "Itachi Uchiha…"

"Ryouka Uzumaki," the female added.

"We're happy to be here," they finished together.

"So, you two are the ones," a brown haired ANBU said. "You can take the lockers in the back."

"Yes, sir."

The two of them walked to the back where they put the equipment, that they got, into the lockers.

"Is that them?" one of the ANBU asked.

"They say that their only 11," another pointed out. "That makes them the youngest ANBU ever."

The brown haired ANBU that had greeted them looked over at the two siblings only to blink in surprise when he noticed that the female of the two was already in her ANBU uniform and gear. She was putting her lower calve length, slightly wavy, brown hair up into a high single half bun using senbone needles to hold it up on top of her head instead of having it in her normal twin buns like odango hairstyle.

"You two will be on Team Ro," he told the siblings once he got over his shock. "So, meet us over at the Training Ground 10, okay?"

"Right," the Uchiha Heir answered.

'Bakashi's team, huh?' the Uzumaki Heiress thought in shock. 'Oh great. Obito-nii, please give me the strength to get through this?'

...My Line...

The two young 11-year-olds walked towards the other members of Team Ro wearing a weasel and a wolf mask over their faces. However, as they walked towards their teammates, kunai, and shuriken were thrown though they miss. The Uzumaki and Uchiha come to stop when a shuriken embedded itself into a tree in front of them.

"What are you doing?" a male asked them all to look over to see a silver haired dog masked ANBU along with another one. "Explain yourselves?"

"We wanted to make sure that they have the skills to be one of us."

"Since their so young."

"You have a problem with your superior's decisions?" the silver haired ANBU asked.

"No, sir. It's nothing like that."

"Have you already been able to tell that they are no ordinary shinobi?" the ANBU asked before looking at the siblings. "I am Kakashi." He sweatdropped as he felt the glare of the blonde wolf masked female. "I'm the Captain of Team Ro. You two maybe new, but I want you to learn the rule and formations of the ANBU."

"Yes, sir," Itachi agreed while Ryouka nodded.

Kakashi Hatake then had the Uchiha and Uzumaki Heirs show their skills. Itachi went first by jumping into the air and unleashed about 10 kunais before letting another one go which hit one of the other kunais. The brunette rolled her eyes as the kunais all hit the targets before she stepped up and started to go through her Taijutsu. At first she moved slowly before picking up her speed as she continued and started to add fire attacks to her moves.

"They're good."

"They are talented, but making an expatiation for someone so young is a bit usual for the ANBU."

"Well, Lord Danzo recommended them."

"Really? Huh. They don't seem to fit the mold though."

"How so?"

"Lord Danzo has his own criteria for ANBU and Foundations members."

"And?"

"I just can't see it."

...My Line...

"We've started our duties today."

"Is that so?" Fugaku asked. "That's my boy and girl. Itachi, Ryouka, I'm proud you two joined ANBU." The two bowed for a moment. "But, there is one that you two must never forget. That more then being Konoha's ANBU...you two are first and foremost an Uchiha."

"Yes, Sir."

"The Uchiha Clan has been entrusted with the security of the village, so our clan has to live outside the village's boundaries," the Clan Head told them. "It is essential that the Clan have two of our own in the ANBU. I am counting on you two, Itachi, Ryouka."

...My Line...

"Fugaku Uchiha stood out as one of the shrewdest security captains in generations," Danzo Shimura stated as the siblings kneeled in front of him later that night. "It comes as no surprise that he is your Father. Despite better judgment, Konoha order the Uchiha Clan outside of the village, but Konoha also grant them the ability to govern themselves, so, we can not intervene in their matters. Therefor, we need our set of eyes and ears there. So, I'm counting on you two, Itachi, Ryouka."

...My Line...

A few days later, one could find Ryouka at the Naka River with Shisui, who asked if he could speak to her.

"So, what do you want to talk about, Shisui?" the Uzumaki asked as she looked at him.

"Well, I just wanted to know if you would like to go on a date with me?" he asked nervously.

The brunette looked at him in surprise before smiling and placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Of course," she answered.

A big smile came to his face before pulling her into a hug making Ryouka to laugh at his childlike happiness.

"Great," he breathed. "How about in a week we go on our first date?" He rubbed the back of his head. "I want think about what kind of first date to take you on and to get everything set up for it once I do."

"Okay," she answered with a nod.

...My Line...

"Are you and Ryouka-hime settle into the job?" Kakashi asked Itachi as the brunette was hiding in the ceiling.

"Not quite," Itachi answered.

"That's likely."

"We haven't gone out on a mission yet."

"Protecting Lord Hokage is a mission."

"Isn't the ANBU an assassin and tactical unit?"

"Well, we're not at war now."

Just then the door opened and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, walked out.

"Kakashi," the Sandaime spoke up.

"Sir."

"As Hokage when I assign a mission it is on official one," Hiruzen stated. "However, I can not ignore Danzo's view that there is an underside of this mission. So, an unofficial team will be dispatch, too."

"One the Hokage didn't order?"

"You will work with Danzo."

The Sandaime walked away leaving the two ANBU standing outside the door as the Uzumaki joined them.

"On the surface it's a diplomatic mission," Danzo started to explain. "We'll be exchanging intel with the Hannya Black Ops from the Land of Woods at the boarder. But, I believe that this meeting is an enemy trap. Sandaime-sama agrees with me on that. The ANBU will secretly guard the team that is on the official mission. When the enemy turns on the team...kill them. Leave no survivors."

"Total annihilation, sir?"

"We must show them that Konoha does not tolerant betrayal."

"I would like to be in a three man squad with Itachi and Ryouka."

"As you wish."

"I shill take my leave."

"Kakashi, I recognize your worth as an ANBU," Danzo stated. "I'm even tempted to pull you into the foundation."

"Surely you jest, sir?"

"No, you process all the right quality," the Elder answered. "Especially the one called darkness."

...My Line...

The young Uchiha and Uzumaki Heirs walked out of the changing rooms ready for a mission which two of their teammates noticed right away.

"Hey, Itachi, Ryouka! First ANBU mission, huh?"

"Yes."

"I heard it's just Kakashi-taicho and you two. Watch you backs."

"Why's that?" asked Itachi.

"If it's for a mission then the Taicho won't hesitate to kill a comrade.

"I'm not surprised," the brunette snorted as her mind went to Obito Uchiha and Ami Senju, two people, who she had saw an older siblings. 'Obito-nii, Ami-nee.'

"He's a shinobi of the highest degree."

The two of them stared for a moment before walking away.

...My Line...

The three members of ANBU stood on top of the gates of Konoha watching the Jonin Might Gai and three Chunins.

"Yosh!" they heard Gai yelled. "Let's fire up our youthful passion and let's go!"

Ryouka sweatdropped as the Jonin took off running with the Chunins trying to keep up with him.

"So, they weren't told about the true nature of this mission?" Itachi asked.

"That's right," the Hatake answered. "Only the top ranks of Konoha know it. And the three of us, of course."

The three ANBUs soon followed after them.

...My Line...

The three ANBU watched the group as they say to rest and eat a hotpot.

"Captain, is it wise to burn a fire out in the open like this?" one of the Chunins asked. "Aren't we announcing our presence?"

"Yeah," another agreed. "What if the enemy sees and attack us?"

"We'll if they went to attack us then so be it," Gai answered. "My hunch tells me that this mission provocation is to clear up if their friend or foe."

"Impressive," Itachi said. "He's only been told the superficial facts of the mission, but figured out it's true purpose."

"It's a good chance for us to refuel, too."

"Right."

The three of them started to eat food pills that Kakashi pulled out.

"In away this symbolize the ANBU perfectly."

"Yeah?"

"How's that?"

"They sit in the sun and enjoy a hotpot meal together while we sit in the shadows and eat food pills."

"We don't mind at all," Itachi said. "We realize that it's all part of the job we do."

"I see."

...My Line...

Ryouka hide in the shadows once the official team made it to the meeting place while watching as a woman and three men dressed in shinobi gear and wearing demon masks walked into view.

"You are with the Hannya Black Ops of the Land of Woods?" Gai asked.

"Indeed we are," the woman answered. "Now hand over the scroll."

"Fine. Together."

"You first."

"Very will then," Gai agreed.

Blue eyes watched as the Konoha Jonin hand over the scroll to the woman, who opened and looked it over.

"There's no mistake."

"And where is your scroll?" Gai asked.

The woman hold out a scroll to which the hidden blonde could tell that something was off with it.

"Here."

Gai went to take it only to widen his eyes and then kick the scroll out of the woman's hand before it exploded in the air.

"We're suppose to exchange scroll not fire," Gai told her as he got close.

The woman and the three men jumped upon to a cliff to look at the team.

"Konoha reigned on our agreement and attacked us. We shill seek resobusion."

"That's just a bull face lie," Gai said as he pointed at them. "You broke the agreement! It was you!"

Ryouka reached behind her for her katana as more Hannya ANBU showed up laughing.

"Captain…"

"They planned to betray us from the start."

Just then Kakashi, Itachi, and Ryouka jumped in front of them.

"Well take over," Itachi told them.

"You all get away."

"You guys…"

The woman held out her arm to her team.

"Earth Style: Rock Collapse!"

"Shouldn't have done that," the brunette said as she ran through hand signs. "Lighting Style: Hunting Wolves!"

"Quick run!" Gai ordered his group.

"Okay!"

The three Chunins ran as a pack of 10 wolves made of lighting meet the rocks head on and turned half of them into pebbles.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"

A wall made of Earth appeared in front of them while Ryouka pulled out her katana and ran her Fire affinity through it.

"You two get out of here!"

"Yes, right."

The blonde kept an eye on the Chunins till they were gone.

"Rumor has it that you would kill a comrade to complete a mission."

"I would never left my friends get killed," Kakashi told Itachi which almost made the Uzumaki to snort. "That's why I was entrusted with this Sharingan."

'Obito-nii never should have trusted him,' the brunette thought. 'If he is Naruto's Jonin Sensei then the Sandaime will an earful and an ass kicking.'

"You go too," the silver haired male told Gai as he stood up.

"Like I'd turn my back on a mission!"

"Get on with it."

"Earth Style: Rock Collapse!"

The female ANBU pulled out a wad of Sealing tags and was about to throw it only for Gai to open 5 of the 8 inner gates. They then watched as he destroyed some of the rocks while heading for the top.

"All of that with Taijutsu."

"Admire him later."

The three ANBU then jumped into action with Ryouka killing the ones that Gai knocked out after taking a few of them out, who tried to run away.

"Your mission is complete," the Hatake said as he held out the scroll that Gai had handed over back to him. "Return to the village."

The cry of a dying Shinobi made Gai look over to see the siblings taking out the down enemy shinobi.

"Hey!" he called out. "What are you two doing?"

"This is our mission."

"Even if that is true! Stop this Kakashi!"

"Hey! Only an idiot calls someone by their real name on an ANBU mission."

"How can you…"

"Rest assured Captain," Itachi told him as he and Ryouka killed the last of them. "The enemy has been nurtalized."

The three of them looked at Gai, who seemed surprised.

...My Line...

"I'll report back to Lord Danzo," Kakashi told them once they were back in the village. "Your parts of the mission is complete."

"Captain, the Sharingan that you possess wasn't originally yours was it?" Itachi asked.

"No."

"Do you ever doubt about using a power that wasn't even yours to begin with?" asked Itachi. "You aren't an Uchiha Captain and yet you possess the Sharingan. You wield a power that the Uchiha do. So, who side are you on?"

"I never quite thought of it that way," Kakashi answered. "This Sharingan was...entrusted to me by a friend. And he...made me vow to never forget what's important."

"A friend?"

"Yeah," the man answered. "To never let a comrade get killed." He glanced over at his Sensei's Daughter to see her death glare. 'She still hate's me, huh?'

The two of them watched as he walked away.

...My Line...

The two of them stood outside of the Academy waiting for their brothers. It didn't take long for them to walk out.

"Nii-san, Nee-san!" both Sasuke and Naruto called out when they saw them.

"Let's walk home together Sasuke, Naruto?" Itachi asked as Ryouka smiled at them.

"Ok," Naruto agreed as they ran over to them.

"Done with your mission, huh?"

The four of them walked away as the two older Siblings listened to their brothers talk about their day.

...My Line...

Later that night, both siblings and Shisui were with the Uchiha Shinobis in the Naka Shrine for a clan meeting.

"As some of you may know my Son, Itachi, and Daughter, Ryouka, have joined the ANBU," Fugaku said. "Close proximity to the Hokage and top officials would mean access to more information and that would be an entire benefit to the Uchiha Clan. Itachi, Ryouka, do you two have anything to report now."

"Yes," they answered as they stood up.

"Itachi and I are still new so there isn't much for us to report yet," the Uzumaki said.

"But, in Konoha's higher ranks we don't believe that there is any solidarity," Itachi went on for her. "It is our beliefs that the Uchiha Clan's choices will forge the future of the entire Hidden Leaf."

"Exactly," Fugaku agreed. "By all rights the Uchiha Clan must be central in determining the future of Konoha."

At that the Uchihas cheered with the two siblings sat back down where Shisui placed a kiss on Ryouka's cheek before grinning at Itachi.

...My Line...

(6 Years After the Kyuubi no Kitsune Attack!)

A 12-year-old Ryouka Uzumaki stood in front of the memorial stone before kneeling down and placing a bouquet of flowers made up of tea rose and white orchids surrounded by pink carnations in front of the stone. She then placed her hands palms together as she said a silent pray before standing back up and looked at the name of Obito.

"Hey, Onii-chan," she greeted softly completely unaware of being watched. "Sorry I haven't visited till now, but my ANBU missions and training has been taking all of my attention to the point that I haven't been able to be with Naruto or go on a date with Shisui." In the trees hiding, cloaked and masked man clinched his hands in anger at the last part. "And I know that's a bad on top of lame excuse as even as that damn Hatake finds time to visit, but it's the truth no less. Speaking of Hatake, if the Sandaime makes him my Brother's Sensei then I'll pay Inoichi-san to see if the Hokage has finally cracked after making my displeasure known." The Uzumaki took a deep breath before graving the name a sad smile. "However, now that I've brought Naruto up I should tell you a bit about him, huh?" The masked man leaned forward a bit. "He's like you...well...a bit as he does have some of Kaa-chan and Tou-chan in him, too. In fact Naruto has taken to wearing goggles like you seeing as I told him about you, Obito-nii, and you've became something of an inspiration to him that he wants to become Hokage as you never got the chance, too."

"Ryouka!" a voice called.

The brunette looked over to see Itachi and Shisui Uchiha waiting for her.

"I'm sorry Aniki, but I have to go," she said before giving the name one last look. "Ja ne, Aniki."

Ryouka then ran over to the two boys where she gave the older Uchiha a kiss before hugging the younger one.

"Who were you visiting?" Shisui asked as they left the memorial stone.

"Obito," was her quick answer.

Once the three of them were gone, the masked man moved from the trees and to the stone where he picked up the bouquet gently.

"Ryouka-chan," he whispered as his sole Sharingan eye looked over to where the Uzumaki left before he looked at the name of Minato Namikaze on the stone. "Don't worry Minato-Sensei. I'll watch over your Daughter for you and keep her safe eve from that boy that she's with." He sighed. "I have to go Sensei. Ja ne."

With that said, the masked man vanished as if he was never there.

...My Line...

A few days later, both Kakashi and Ryouka could be found walking up a flight of stairs of a tower that could found near the Hokage monument.

"You are a part of ANBU now," the Copy Ninja told her. "And this is one mission that you can't avoid."

"What is this mission?" the brunette asked.

"6 years ago after the Kyuubi incident the higher ups suspected that the Uchiha Clan was behind the entire thing," Kakashi stated to explain. "Since then, the entire Uchiha Clan district has been under 24 hour surveillance."

'Naruto,' the female Uzumaki thought as her mind went back to that night while the reached the room.

"Shift change," Kakashi said as they walked in.

"Nothing to report, sir," one of them informed him.

"Is this…"

"On of the many surveillance centers," a second ANBU told the brunette. "Lord Danzo's ANBU is watching them, too."

"What are you going to do?" another asked. "Are you going to tell your Clan?"

"What will my job be here?" Ryouka asked.

"Just keep watch through that," was the answer she got.

"Ok, Captain, we'll be going."

The brunette stood at the door as the others left.

"Make sure that you stay alert, Ryouka."

The Uzumaki nodded before she closed the door and walked over to one of the telescopes.

"This is just another part of our job as ANBU," Kakashi explained. "it's not assassination, but it's still dirty work."

"A mission is a mission."

"You'll be spying on your friends and family," Kakashi said. "In away it's even worse. I can take this shift if you want."

"That's not necessary," she told him. "Besides…"

"Besides what?"

"The Uchiha Clan are already aware that we are under suspicion."

She then caught sight of Sasuke, Naruto, and Itachi leaving the main house with smiles as she looked through the telescope.

"I suppose you would be."

Ryouka closed her eyes and smiled happily.

...My Line...

Later that day, Ryouka was walking up to the Uchiha compound only to see Shisui, who was looking at her, making the Uzumaki to blush slightly as she messed with a beautiful diamond ring on her left ring finger.

"Nee-san!" two young voices called out to her making the blonde to turn around to see her three Brothers while Shisui left. "Are you done with your mission?"

"If you are then you and Itachi-nii can help us train," Sasuke stated.

"Sorry, Sasuke, Naruto, but Itachi and I have been summoned," Ryouka informed them.

This made them puff up their cheeks at this.

...My Line...

"We use to play here a lot," Shisui said as the two Siblings stepped out from behind a tree. "Remember?"

"We didn't know you were back," Itachi stated.

"That's right," Shisui agreed as they walked up to stand next to the older Uchiha, who wrapped his arms around the brunette. "We finally drove the Hidden Mist away."

"What is it?" Itachi asked.

"I want to get your honest opinion on how serious you think that Fugaku is?" he asked. "The both of you?"

"What do you mean, Shi-chan?" the Uzumaki asked.

"The coup d'etat," he answered as he held her closer.

"The Uchiha are growing dissatisfied with the village," Itachi stated. "if they village doesn't change the Uchiha won't stand for it."

"If the village changes then so would the Uchiha," Shisui said.

"But, if the Uchiha don't change neither will the village," Ryouka added. "As long as the two sides distrust each other things will only get worse."

"I want to clear up the uncertainty."

"Can you?"

"Honestly, I don't know," the older Uchiha answered. "But, I have to try. If the Uchihas attempt a coup d'etat it will end badly for both sides."

"I am against a coup d'etat as well," Itachi informed.

"I agree," the Uzumaki second. "But, trying to stop it will take something big."

"I am aware," Shisui said. "But, I don't want you two to do anything."

"Why's that?"

"Some members of the police force are suspicious of you two. I've been ordered to spy on you both."

This made their eyes to widen in shock before narrowing.

...My Line...

The next day, the three teens where at the training grounds where Shisui and Itachi stood across from each other while Ryouka sat on one of the stumps watching them as the two Uchihas got ready for a spar. Once a bird's feather hit the ground both of their eyes snapped open to reveal the Sharingan.

"Here I come!" Shisui announced as they ran towards each other. "Haaaahhhhhhh!" Both Itachi and Shisui pulled back their fists to deliever a punch as the Uzumaki just grinned from where she was sitting. The three teens were unaware that they were being watched as the masked man kept an eye on the blonde. "How's that?" The two Uchihas panted from their spar. "I've got more winds than you now!"

"You're right," Itachi agreed as he looked up. "Guess I lose."

Both of them deactivated their Sharingan.

"Well, if you hadn't been so lost in thought, then this may have ended differently," the older Uchiha stated as he walked up to the Uchiha Heir.

The two crossed their fingers.

"You noticed that, huh?"

Shisui then held up the younger male up.

"Come on, Itachi, how long have I known you?" he asked. "I know what this is about."

Ryouka soon joined them where the Jonin Uchiha pulled the Uzumaki close to him with a smile while Itachi growled feeling his older Brother instincts come to the forefront.

"Relax, Itachi-nii," the brunette laughed softly.

In the trees, the masked Uchiha let out a quiet growl himself at the thought of some one else taking his place of the Uzumaki Heir's honorary Big Brother. He could only watch as the three left for the Naka River to continue with their talk.

...My Line...

"So, I take it it didn't go well."

"I'm sorry. Ryouka and I did everything we could, but...the only thing we could accomplish was to delay the plan."

"This is a coup by our entire clan," Shisui pointed out. "We always knew it would be easy to dissuade them. Their will to make this happen is much stronger then we anticipated. That said, delaying the plan is still a great result."

"How about you?" Itachi asked. "You said you were going to try and find some allies."

"I'm afraid it's not only well. For better or for worse, they're part of the Uchiha Clan, so their bond is strong. Oh come on, don't give me that look. Remember, this is you, Ryouka, and me that we're talking about Itachi. So don't worry. It'll be fine. In any case, you and Ryou-chan keep an eye out and work from the inside. I'll work on finding another way."

"NII-SAN! NEE-SAN!" two young voice called out making the three teens to look over to see both Sasuke and Naruto running towards them. "NII-SAN! NEE-SAN! Heeeey!"

"There you two are," Sasuke said as they came to a stop in front of the two older siblings. "We've been looking practically everywhere for you!"

"Oh, sorry," Naruto apologized when he noticed Shisui.

"Yo."

"Shisui!"

"Sasuke, what are you and Naruto doing out here?" Itachi asked as he looked at them.

"Hey, what were you two talking about, anyway?" the Uchiha asked as the two younger boys looked at the other Uchiha. "C'mon, tell me, tell me, tell!"

"You're still too young to know about that."

"Awww, what's that about?" Naruto groaned. "What, we're not part of the group now…?"

Both Itachi and Ryouka poked both Sasuke and Naruto in the forehead.

"We're sorry, Sasuke, Naruto," the Uzumaki asked.

"Maybe next time," the Uchiha Heir finished.

"You two are always saying that, Nii-san, Nee-san," Sasuke said as the two younger boys rubbed their foreheads. "Awww…"

"Heh...it's just not fair," Shisui spoke up as he walked towards them. "What a horrible Brother and Sister to leave Sasuke and Naruto out of everything like that." The older Uchiha placed his hands on the two boys' shoulders. "Alright, Sasuke, Naruto." He winked at them. "Why don't I tell you, then."

"Really?" they asked with a smile. "You're the best, Shisui!"

"You see…" Shisui pulled the two boys closer as he got down to their level. "We were just talking about which of us is stronger, me or your Brother."

"Huh?"

"I mean, I know I'm a lot stronger then he is, but he just won't accept the truth," the Jonin stated. "And Ryouka is taking his side in this." He then let out a sigh. "Well, tell me, Sasuke, Naruto. You know the truth, don't you? That I'm a lot stronger than he is…"

"No, your not," Sasuke interrupted.

"Oh?"

"I mean, sure, you're strong, but come on!" the younger Uchiha Heir stated. "Our Brother is still way stronger than you."

"Oh, really?" Shisui asked. "But, I am older than he is, so I only think it's natural to assume that I'm…"

"Age has nothing to do with being a ninja," Naruto interrupted this time.

"But, you two know, don't forget I do have the Sharingan."

"Our Brother has the Sharingan, too!" the hidden Namikaze Heir pointed out. "So, our Brother won't lose to you, Shisui!" The two younger Heirs looked back at Itachi. "Isn't that right, Nii-san?!"

Itachi gasped before looking at the older Uchiha while Ryouka giggled.

"Shisui...you…"

"Right, Nii-san?!" Sasuke asked. "Go on, tell him. You're strong than Shisui, right?"

"Well, that's…"

'It's great to be a family,' Shisui thought as he watched the four siblings. 'I can't help, but feel that every time I see those four. I won't allow the Clan's schemes to destroy things like this…' He touched his eye. 'No matter what I have to resort to.'

"Shisui…"

"Hm?"

"I think we're gonna head back now," Itachi told him. "It's almost time for dinner, and we don't want to be late. And Ryouka and I have to prepare for tomorrow, too."

"Oh, that's right. You both have a mission, don't you."

"Yeah, I don't think it'll take too long. We should be back in a couple of days."

"Do your best, Itachi, Ryouka. I'll do what I can on my side."

The female Uzumaki smiled at him as she moved to gently kiss the older Uchiha before going to fellow the other three.

"Shisui, see ya later!" the young boys called out.

"Yep!" Shisui called back. 'No matter what I have to resort to. I'll put a stop to it.'

...My Line...

"WHAT!?" Fugaku yelled in shock at the two teens. "Do you two know what tomorrow is? I don't really think you two know your positions."

"We're setting out for a mission tomorrow."

"What are you talking about Itachi?"

"We can't tell you that," answered Ryouka. "The mission is covert."

"Itachi, Ryouka, you two also serve as the Uchiha Clan's pip lines to the inner nervous center," Fugaku told them. "You both know that don't you?"

"Yes."

"Well, make sure that you two don't forget it," he stated. "You both will be at that meeting tomorrow."

...My Line...

The next day around sunset, both Ryouka and Itachi stood waiting for Shisui.

'He's late,' they both thought before sharing a look.

With a nod to each other, the two of them then took off.

...My Line...

It didn't long for the two of them to reach what looked a battle site where they saw Shisui, who moved at the last second, when kunai had been throw at. The Uzumaki moved quickly as Itachi unleashed a fireball that slammed into the Captain of the team while the blade that the brunette held, glowed a violet color by channeling her fire affinity, cut through the other one. Once having taken out those two out, the Uchiha and Uzumaki Heirs grabbed the older Uchiha and left the scene quickly.

...My Line...

Once they were as far away from the battle ground, Itachi placed Shisui against a tree.

"I thought...that you two were on a mission…?"

"Something didn't feel right, so...we came back."

"Glad you two did," Shisui told them as Ryouka held him close. "Sorry for the trouble."

...My Line...

Both siblings stood in front of Shisui at the Naka River.

"Seems we can't prevent the Uchiha coup d'etat," Shisui stated. "And if Civil War erupts in Konoha then the other villages will invade for sure. True war will brake out. When I tried to stop all of this with the Kotoamatsukami, Danzo stole my right eye." He turned around to look at them. "That man doesn't trust me. He intends to protect the village his way no matter what it takes or how it looks. I suspect that he will come for my left eye, so I'll give it to you, Itachi, before he gets the chance." The Uzumaki gasp when her lover removed his eye and held it out to Itachi. "You two are the ones that I can count on my best friend and my love. Protect the village and the Uchiha name. Both of them."

A crow showed up and took the eye before vanishing in a cloud of feathers.

"Alright," Itachi said. "I've accepted it. What will you do now?"

"Before I answer that," Shisui spoke up. "Ryou-chan…"

"Shi-chan?" was her whispered question.

All he did was hold out his arms to which the Uzumaki ran right into them where she clinged to him as Shisui held her close.

"I love you, my beautiful fiancee," he told her. "So, forgive me? I'm about to cause you so much pain."

"Huh?"

Ryouka looked up at him in confusion though she felt like he was saying goodbye.

"Ryouka, protect Naruto and Sasuke," he stated. "Teach them the Will of Fire and how to love the village." Tears came to a pair of blue eyes. "Also, I want you to kiss me."

The secret Namikaze guided his head to her where she gently kissed him on his lips. It was suppose to be a chaste kiss, but Shisui deepen it making an already uncomfortable Itachi to look away.

"I love you, Shi-chan," the Uzumaki Heir whispered when they pulled away.

"I love you, too," he whispered. "I love you so much, Konoha no Taiyo Rensa Senko (Sun Chain Flash of the Leaf)." Shisui then pushed her into Itachi's arms gently. "If I die many things will change." He stepped towards the edge of the cliff. "I left a note."

"Shisui!" the two ANBU yelled in shock. "Wait!"

"Don't try to stop me, Itachi, Ryouka," he told them where he gave smile as he fell backwards towards the river below. The two Siblings rushed forward to stop him. 'If you two are truly my friend and love.'

Both Ryouka and Itachi missed by an inch.

"Shisui!" Itachi yelled as his friend disappeared in the river below.

"NOOOOO!" Ryouka screamed as she collapsed to her knees.

Itachi's new version of the Sharingan stared at his younger Sister in shock as upon her bare brow a golden dot inside a golden circle appeared while her body changed as her frame was clad in a golden dress with white gold embroidery from her waist up. On the back of the dress was a bow with long flowing ends, in her hair was a pair of white hairpins, a silver bracelet was around her wrist, and in her ears was a pair of earrings that ended in the same symbol that was on her forehead.

'It can't be,' the Uchiha Heir thought in shock.

'Shisui...no...Alexandrite, my one true love,' the brunette thought. 'Yes, I remember now. I am Crown Princess Aurora of the Sun. Younger Daughter of Queen Serenity of the Moon and King Apollo of the Sun. Twin Sister to Crown Princess Serenity of the Moon. And fiancee to Head Knight Alexandrite.'

'Could Ryouka really be…' Itachi thought as the Uchiha knew of the Silver Millennium and the twin Princesses of the Moon and Sun.

"It's not fair," the Sun Princess sobbed. "We were so close this time. So, close to our happy ending. Why…? Why are the fates so cruel as to reunite us only to tare us apart again? Shisui, my love…"

The Uchiha Heir moved to embrace the sobbing Princess.

'Damn you, Danzo,' the young boy thought with a growl. 'Damn you to hell.'

...My Line...

It was two days after the Death of Shisui Uchiha and the awakening of the Taiyo no Hime that things were starting to go from bad to worse and the female Uzumaki was ready to get Naruto and Sasuke out of the village at Itachi's signal. But, for now life went on as normal as possible for the two siblings.

...My Line...

Two nights later, one could find the two Siblings on a mission with their ANBU team. In front of them was a group of Grass Ninja, who were burying explosive tags before the Konoha ANBU took all, but one out, who was about to run.

"The Lighting Blade!" he yelled. "You Konoha no Kopi Ninja…" He cried out when Kakashi attacked him. "Kakashi…"

"You've become quite well known Captain," Tenzo stated as the two walked up once the man was died.

"Do this long enough and your about to become famous."

"Clear the area," Kakashi ordered. "Leave no trace that Konoha was here."

"Yeah, yeah. I know. All this dirty work is just part of the ANBUs MO."

Itachi removed his mask and watched the team leader walk away from them.

"You said that you got your Sharingan from a friend," Itachi stated as they rested later that night.

"Yes," Kakashi answered. "Along with a vow."

"And is this vow something that you plan to honor?"

"Yes, I intend, too," Kakashi answered as Ryouka remained quiet. "I know about the incident with Shisui Uchiha. Is everything okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine...we're fine."

"I see. Anyways, there's not a lot I can do, but let me know if there's anything?"

"Of course."

...My Line...

Itachi stood on the cliff where Shisui killed himself while he was waiting Ryouka a few days later.

"Nii-san?"

"Ryouka," the Uchiha Heir answered as the sunset blonde walked up to him. "Well?"

"Everything is ready to get our Brothers out of the village for 5 years," she informed him. "Lord Hokage approved it along with Chichi."

"For two different reasons I take it?" he asked.

"Yes."

The two of them stood in silences before finally leaving.

…My Line…

A month passed since Shisui Uchiha's death and one could find Kakashi, Ryouka, and Itachi kneeling in front of the Hokage and the three elders.

"Do to an increase number of assignments I'm adding an additional two teams to the ANBU," Danzo informed them as the Uzumaki fought to control her temper. "Itachi, Ryouka, I'm appointing you two as Captains."

"Yes, sir," they said together.

"I'm not saying that I'm opposed, but you two still seem very young. What your ages?"

"13, ma'am."

"There has been quite the number of Shinobi, who are younger, but none the less become Jonin."

"2 years in the ANBU and already Captains."

"They have to be the youngest Captains that the ANBU has ever had."

"Well, in any even I will assign my personal ANBU agents to these new teams."

The two Siblings glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes at this.

...My Line...

"Does this mean that you two are being transferred to Lord Danzo's ANBU?" Kakashi asked once Itachi closed the door.

"It remains uncertain," the Uzumaki answered.

"Well, try not to get entangled up in the higher ups wranglings?" he asked them.

The Uzumaki turned to walk away when the Hatake did the same.

"Captain Kakashi," the Uchiha Heir spoke up. "Thank for the part of 2 years."

"Come on now you're only changing sections," Kakashi told him. "You're still a Konoha Shinobi. It's not like your going really fare away."

...My Line...

A week later, both Itachi and Ryouka watched as a masked man appeared and then disappeared as fast as he came. The Heir of the Uchiha placed a hand on his Sister's shoulder when he felt her temper skyrocket. They then left themselves.

...My Line...

It was later that same day that finds the two of them walking up the steps to the Naka shrine.

"Captain Kakashi?" Itachi asked when they noticed him.

"Itachi, Ryouka."

"What are you doing here?" Ryouka asked.

"Just thinking about something from the past," the Hatake answered.

'Obito-nii.'

"And you two?"

"Well, I'm from here and Ryouka grew up here, Captain," Itachi answered. "You remember. We're often here."

"How's being Captain, you two?"

"It's the same," Itachi stated. "I suppose we still have missions just as we had before."

"I see."

"Hey, Kakashi!" Might Gai called out as he ran up. "Check it out. The fortune I drew is excellent luck."

The siblings watched the two friends with blank looks as they felt their hearts ache at the thought of Shisui.

...My Line...

It was sunset that same day and one could fine the two Heirs hiding in the trees outside of the Naka shrine where the Uchiha Clan was meeting at that night.

"Isn't Itachi and Ryouka coming today?" an Uchiha asked his Clan Head.

"Their off on a mission," Fugaku answered.

The two siblings watched with narrow eyes.

...My Line...

"The Uchiha Clan intend to revolt against Konoha," Itachi reported as he and Ryouka knelt in front of their four leaders.

This had them gasping in shock.

"Are you two sure of that?"

"You both have gain concrete proof?"

"We have," Ryouka answered.

...My Line...

"Are you sure about this Itachi?" the brunettee asked as they watched the masked man.

"Yes," was his answer. "Hey!" Both Shinobi jumped down from a tree as the man turned to face them. "There is something I would like you to help me with."

The Uzumaki kept an eye on the man's chakra and the way it acts.

'Why does his Chakra feel so familiar to me?' she thought in worry. 'Obito-nii...what?' Ryouka watched the man, who was watching her return. 'Why am I thinking of him now? There's no way that this man is him. Right?'

'Ryouka-imouto,' the masked man thought as he watched the two teens leave after the talk.

...My Line...

"We move tonight," Itachi told the man a day later.

"Fine," he said. "I shill assist you as promise."

"Very well then," the Uchiha Heir said. "I'm counting on you."

"I'll help you annihilate the Uchiha because I have another goal and for that I want you two to keep your eyes close and temper in check."

"So, we're not to use the Sharingan and Sealing Chains for what ever you have planned?" Ryouka asked.

"Yes and I guarantee that I won't kill you little Brothers," he answered. "I have no use for children without the Sharingan especially a child with the Kyuubi."

This just made Ryouka to glare at him.

"You think that's suppose to reassure us?" Itachi asked. "Although at this point we'll have no other choice, but to trust you."

"I'll be taking Naruto and Sasuke on a training trip starting today for 5 years," Ryouka informed. "So, you won't have to worry about me getting in your way."

"I see," the masked man said thoughtfully. "That's good then." The Siblings turned around to leave. "Itachi, if you need refuge join my organization?"

"Your organization?"

"That Akatsuki."

All three went silent before the brunette start to walk away.

"I need to get back and leave with the two boys," she started before vanishing.

...My Line...

(Tokyo, Japan; Juuban Distract: Tsukino Household!)

A young 36-year-old woman with waist length, wavy, lavender hair and blue eyes opened the front door where she saw a young 13-year-old girl with 2 young 7 to 8-year-old boys next to her. She noticed that the young girl looked like a brunette, electric cobalt blue eyed, and sunkissed ivory tone version of her own Daughter only the teen held herself like a warrior and even had eyes that seen and lost to much.

"Auntie Ikkuko?" the brunette asked.

Ikkuko Tsukino nee Namikaze let out a gasp as she stared at the young girl in surprise.

"Ryouka-chan?" she asked as the 36-year-old had only seen her Brother's Daughter once.

"Yes," the Uzumaki Heiress answered softly. "I need your help Auntie."

"Come in you three and we'll talk," she told them.

Ryouka nodded her head before she guided the two boys inside with the Tsukino woman right behind them looking worried for her niece's mental state. Though she had to wonder what happened and who the boys were while wanting to know what happened to her Brother and his wife, but she figured that the teen will tell her anyways and that she wasn't going to like.
