Chapter 14: The Bond of Brothers

Everyone was silent expect for the evil laughter.

"I've heard that name before…" said Sailor Star Maker.

"Who is Itachi?" asked Ritchie.

"Itachi is Sasuke's older brother, he slaughtered Sasuke's entire clan." Said Sailor Uranus, "Since then, Sasuke has sworn revenge against him."

The two of them were silent.

That was when Sailor Venus fell to her knees.

"That's why he was protecting us… he wanted to make sure I wasn't dead." Whispered Sailor Venus in shock.

With Sailor Venus down, Sailor Pallas began to run towards the black weasel monster.

"Wait! Sasuke!" shouted Sailor Galaxia, "You're going to kill him right then and there. Don't you think that's a little unfair."

"What do you mean?" asked Sailor Pallas.

"He's a monster not himself… don't think we'd want to him before we go though with this?" asked Sailor Galaxia.

Sailor Pallas realized she was right and nodded.

"You will have to throw everything you have at this monster." Said Oceania.

"That's right. The three of us put our powers together for this one." Said Sora.

"You don't stand a chance." Said Terre.

"Naruto snap out of it." Said Sailor Jupiter.

"That's right, we all need to work together on this one." Said Sailor Mars.

"You can't beat this one." Said Sora.

"Remember, avoid all eye contact." Said Sailor Uranus, "Whatever you do don't look into his eyes."

"This might be a litter hard." Said Sailor Star Fighter.

"Don't worry, Guy-Sensei has been training me." Said Sailor Star Maker, "To make sure to look at the opponents feet and not their eyes."

"Try at might you just can't win." Said Sora.

"Everyone attack at once!" shouted Neo Sailor Moon.

"Mercury Ice Wave!"

"Gum Gum Flaming Gattling!"

"Double Elemental Punch!"

"Golden Spiraling Shuriken!"

"Silence Glaive Shockwave!"

"Deep Aqua Shining Wave!"

"Space Sword Cutter!"

"Garnet Rod Wave!"

"Icy Wind Shuriken!"

"Supreme Lighting Canon!"

"Flaming Drill Torpedo!"

"Flower Chi Roar!"

"Heart Gem Surprise!"

"Star Serious Laser!"

"Star Sensitive Inferno!"

"Star Gentle Uterus!"

All of the attack hit the Black Weasel monster… but…

"Not seemed to do anything!" shouted Neo Sailor Moon.

The Black Weasel monster ran towards them.

That's when Sailor Pluto remembered something.

"Aim for his chest." Said Sailor Pluto.

"What?" asked Sailor Jupiter.

"Just do it." Said Sailor Pluto.

"All right… I trust Setsuna." Said Sailor Star Healer.

"Fine…" sighed Sailor Jupiter.

"Double Elemental Punch!"

"Star Sensitive Inferno!"

The two attack hit there area, which greatly injured the monster.

"All right time to…" said Neo Sailor Moon.

That is when the Black Weasel Monster let loose black flames.

Sailor Galaxia stepped forward and produce an energy that protect all of the Sailor Senshi and dissipated the fire. However she was hit by the fire creating some nasty burns and causing her to collapse.

"Star are you okay?" asked Sailor Neptune who managed to catch her.

"I'm fine… just a few burns." Said Sailor Galaxia.

"That's Amaterasu!" shouted Sora, "How can you have just a few burns!"

"Don't react that way." Said Oceania, "She's the most powerful Sailor Senshi in existence. Of course she would be able to stand up to that Jutsu."

"After all she was able to survive…" said Sora.

"Shut up!" shouted Sailor Galaxia getting up.

"Oh so that's still a sore spot for you." Said Terre.

"Ash! Kousagi! We have to heal him now!" shouted Sailor Galaxia.

"Okay." Said Neo Sailor Moon.

"Right!" said Sailor Cosmos Moon.

"Moonlight Crystal Drop Healing!"

"Cosmos Crystal Drop Healing!"

"Galaxia Healing!"

All three healing moves hit the Black Weasel monster.

"You can't win!" shouted Oceania.

The Black Weasel monster on the hand was enveloped by the light, healing him.

"What the!" shouted Sora.

"We have to go now!" shouted Terre, "This isn't good!"

The two woman nodded and the three of them disappeared.

Black Weasel still stood instead of passing out, his mask fell as did his hood.

"Itachi…" growled Sailor Pallas.

Meanwhile, Mikoto ran towards the training ground she heard Sasuke was using. She had a bad feeling something was going on.

"Please Sasuke, please be all right." She thought.

Back at the training ground.

"You know who I am, don't you?" asked Sailor Pallas.

"I know who all of you are." Said Itachi, "Sasuke."

Sailor Pallas detransformed.

"So, you were protecting us, to protect Naruto… is that right?" asked Sasuke.

Itachi knew that this was it, he had not choice but t give up. He had already gave his mother more than enough information about Madara. So perhaps he should just let Sasuke do it.

"That was my intention the whole time. After all if Naruto died then the Akatsuki would have failed in its goals." Said Itachi with a blank face.

"I don't care if you're weakened… what you did… What you did! You will pay!" shouted Sasuke.

That was when his arm was engulfed by the Chidori. He ran towards his brother who made no attempt at dodging.

"He intends to die here." Thought Sailor Galaxia, "There's no stopping it…"

"I want them… but I can't…" thought Sailor Pluto as she gripped the garnet rod, "Theirs is only one person who can stop this…"

The other Senshi watch in horror as Sasuke ran towards his brother. Things seemed to move in slow motion as this happened.

That was when Mikoto reach a tree above what was happening. She watched in terror. She knew Itachi wanted to die. She knew that Itachi was innocent. She knew Itachi was a pacifist (well as much as a mass murder can get). But she knew… she couldn't stand to watch Itachi and Sasuke to suffer anymore.

She cried out, "Please stop! Please! I'm begging you Sasuke!"

Sasuke slowed down somewhat and his mother crying in the tree.

"Don't do this Sasuke! Itachi is innocent! The clan was planning a coup! You have to believe me!" cried Mikoto.

Everyone looked at her. Sailor Galaxia smiled. Sailor Pluto on the other hand knew what to do. She lifted the Garnet Rod, causing two time gates to open and suck in Sasuke and Itachi.

"Setsuna! What's going on!" shouted Neo Sailor Moon.

"I will let Mikoto explain everything." Said Sailor Pluto disappearing.

There was a silence in the clearing. Sailor Galaxia detransformed.

"Um… I just remembered… I uh… I need to buy um… some tampons." Said Star who flinched when she finished that sentence.

"We didn't need to know that." Said Sailor Juno.

Star just laughed nervously and went though a time portal using her bracelets.

Mikoto sighed, "This is the truth…" said Mikoto, "And it's 100 percent true."

Meanwhile at the time gate, the Chidori fizzled out when both Sasuke and Itachi landed on the ground. Sasuke glared at his brother.

"I have put up certain barriers here." Said Sailor Pluto, "You will be prevented from trying to Itachi… and Itachi will be prevented from trying to commit any forms for suicide."

Sailor Pluto disappeared.

"What did she mean by that?" asked Sasuke, "What… mom was saying was true?"

"Yes… what she was saying was true, The Uchiha were planning on a Coup against the Hokage. Had they succeeded there would have been a war all over the world." Explained Itachi, "Lord Sarutobi tried to talk them out of it. But they had no choice. The elders decided that they had to die."

Sasuke shook, "Why did you let me live?" asked Sasuke.

"Because… you're my brother, I love you." Said Itachi giving a smile.

Sasuke fell on his butt in shock.

"Then the village…" whispered Sasuke.

"Never blame Tsunade or Arashi, they are innocent." Said Itachi, "If you must blame anyone blame Danzo."

Sasuke's eyes widened, he began to shake.

"You were protecting me… not Naruto… weren't you?" asked Sasuke.

Itachi nodded.

"Then why… why did you say all those things?" asked Sasuke.

"Because I want you to kill me." Said Itachi.

Sasuke's eyes widened when he heard that.

"I… I…" said Sasuke.

"Not now…" said Itachi, "But there will be a time when you will have to kill me."

"Why?" asked Sasuke.

"There is another Uchiha out there… one that you or Naruto must take down." Said Itachi, "One that is nearly immortal."

"Wait then…" said Sasuke.

"That is all that I will tell you for now." Said Itachi.

Sasuke sat there in silence… he didn't know what else to say.

"How do we get out of here?" asked Itachi with a sweat drop.

"Don't' ask me." Said Sasuke with a sweat drop.

Sometime later, at the meeting/ game room at the Kazama Mansion.

"That's why the Akatsuki is after me." Said Naruto.

"I can't believe it." Said Ritchie.

"For you to have a demon inside of you." Said Mousse.

"I for one do not you any differently." Said Lee, "Gaara is my good friend and everyone knows that he too has a demon inside of him."

Lee then gave the good guy pose.

"Thank you Lee." Said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"So… what do you think is going to change?" asked Zoro.

"I have no idea." Said Naruto, "Itachi is still technically an enemy."

"No…" said Kakashi, "That status might change."

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto.

At the Hokage Tower…

All three Uchiha (Setsuna had picked up from the time gate) and Setsuna stood in front of the Hokages.

"You mean…" said Arashi.

"I will act as a spy for the Akatsuki." Said Itachi, "In secret."

"What are we going to do involving Danzo though?" asked Tsunade.

"Nothing for now." said Arashi, "We don't know what his plans are."

Tsunade nodded.

"Thank you Itachi… for all of your help." said Arashi.

With that Itachi nodded and disappeared.

"I'm leaving." Said Sasuke, he jumped out the window behind the two Hokages and jumped into a nearby tree.

"Let's leave Sasuke alone for a while." Said Mikoto, "He needs his time."

The two Hokages and Setsuna nodded… after all with all the changes he needed some time alone, after this was something Sasuke never expected for would happen… ever.
