Chapter 9: My Path!
"Who the hell are you?! Did you do this?!" Issei questioned as his body let out a green glow.
"Isn't it obvious?" Jin asked with a devilish smirk and with lightning flickering around him. "My name is Jin, Jin Uchiha."
"Jin? Uchiha?" Issei questioned.
"Jin? You're Lightning Lord Jin!" Rias said as she was letting out a huge amount of destruction aura, so much that the room began to shake.
"Has my reputation reached someone like you already? And here I was trying to keep a low profile." Jin said with a small sigh.
"You…! You hurt my brother! I will kill you!" Issei screamed and jumped out the window with his Boosted Gear activated, Issei raised his fist and was about to punch a smirking Jin in the face. The fist was inches away from Jin's face as he vanished at lightning fast speed. Issei looked around and saw Jin standing on top of the old schoolhouse.
"Man, you're even slower than your brother. I didn't even need my sharingan to dodge that." Jin said with a mockingly chuckle, Kiba and Xenovia appeared behind Jin with their swords raised above their heads. Xenovia swung down Durandal, and Kiba swung down his Holy Devil sword. Jin grabbed both their blades with his hands covered in lightning. "How pathetic." Jin kicked Kiba in the gut making him cough up blood, and sent him flying off the roof. He then kicked Xenovia in the gut sending her flying off the roof.
"You hurt my Itachi… You will pay…" Rias glared at Jin in pure rage and sent a wave of destruction magic at Jin. The wave of destruction vanished as a thin wave of lightning flew through it, as Jin stood there with a mockingly grin, pointing his right hand with his index finger sticking out with lightning flickering around it.
"I have more power than any of you in this finger, there's no way you can beat me." Jin said in a mockingly tone. Rias then sent an even larger destruction wave, and Jin shoot another wave of lighting from his index finger. But to his surprise Rias's destruction magic overpowered the wave of lightning and crashed into Jin. An unharmed Jin then arrived behind Rias. "Interesting, your power can increase with your emotion. Who knows you may have potential to surpass your brother."
Rias quickly turned around and formed a magic circle defending her from Jin's punch, the circle broke from the impact sending her flying back. "Akeno! Now!" Rias looked up in the air seeing her best friend floating above them.
"Yes, buchou!" Akeno formed a cage made of magic circles around Jin. "Take this!" The circles sent waves of lightning into the cage as it looked like a large ball of light.
"You almost had me there, almost." Jin appeared back on the tree top from where he stood in the beginning of the fight. Koneko stood in front of the tree and punched it, breaking it in half. Jin leaped down from the tree and down to the solid ground. Koneko then charged at him throwing punches and kicks. Jin dodged them all like they were nothing. "Although you have strength you lack speed."
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion!
Issei formed a small orb of red energy directing it at Jin. "Die! You bastard!"
Dragon Shoot!
Issei punched the orb sending a red beam at Jin, whom performed a few hand signs.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Jin spitted out a large ball of fire that collided with the beam creating a massive explosion, leaving a large smoke cloud. "You sure are weak, and to think Vali has to call you his rival. Tell Itachi if he survives that he will meet me again. Until next time." Jin said and when the smoke cleared Jin was gone.
"Come back here! I'm not finished with you yet!" Issei screamed.
"Issei! He's gone, we have to tend to Itachi!" Rias said waking the younger Hyoudou brother out from his rage.
"Y-Yes…understood, buchou." Issei said as everyone went back inside seeing Asia still healing Itachi, while Gasper was looking scared in the corner.
Rias walked over to the unconscious Itachi, she sat down and gently placed his head on her lap. She looked down on the beaten Itachi as tears began flowing down her eyes and dripping on his face. "I'm sorry, Itachi… I failed you… I'm sorry…"
Issei stood in the back and seeing his brother beaten like that made him angry, angry at this Jin, and angry at himself for not being there to help him. Issei clenched his fist so hard that blood dripped down from his hand. "Damn that Jin, I swear I will make him pay one day!" Issei growled in anger.
"I promised I would protect senpai, and yet I failed him… I swore that I would protect him and I failed." Kiba uttered ashamed of himself.
"Itachi-kun… please be alright…" Akeno muttered with a trail of tears running down her eyes.
Itachi slowly began opening his eyes and saw everyone looking down at him. "Itachi!" Rias cried in joy and hugged him the moment he sat up. "I'm sorry! I should have been there, I'm so sorry…" Rias cried into his shoulder.
"Nii-san-" Issei stopped as he saw Itachi's emotionless expression. "Nii-san?"
Itachi then placed his hand on Rias' head stroking her hair. "It's not your fault…" Itachi said motionlessly as he stroked her hair.
"It is, I'm supposed to protect you… and I failed you…" Rias kept crying.
"One cannot prevent one from getting hurt. It human nature to get hurt… It's not your fault." Itachi comforted Rias. "How did I get here?"
"That damned Jin threw you in through the window." Rias replied, with venom in her voice when she mentioned that name.
"I see… Did Jin leave? Did he hurt anyone of you?" Itachi asked with a concerned expression.
"He fought us a little, then he called us weak and left." Akeno said as she bent down to Itachi and embraced him in a hug. "We were so worried about you…"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to worry either of you. I'm truly sorry." Itachi said.
"You don't have to apologize. But are you feeling alright? You look a little pale." Rias said placing her hands on Itachi's cheeks.
"… It's nothing, I'm just tired that's all." Itachi replied.
"Then how about we take you home so that you can rest?" Rias suggested as Akeno began preparing a magic circle.
"Sounds good." Itachi got up, wobbling a little at first. He then walked over to the magic circle with Rias supporting him.
"We will take him back home, could you guys clean up here while we tend to him?" Rias asked the others as she and Akeno prepared the jump.
"We will take care of it, just make sure he's okay." Issei said with a look of concern.
"Issei, don't go looking for Jin… he's too strong." Itachi said to which Issei gave a thump up, and the next moment Itachi was in his room. The girls helped him get to bed, as he just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Next morning
Itachi woke up at the sound of birds from outside his window. He felt heavy, he looked down and saw a naked sleeping Rias and Akeno, both of them using each of his half as a body pillow. 'They've stayed here all night. Well at this point I'm not really surprised to wake up seeing naked women.' Itachi thought.
"Are you thinking about what that Jin guy said?" Itachi Uchiha asked.
"… Yes. What should I do?" Itachi questioned.
"At the moment, you should think about the various options you can take. Then you must make a decision." Itachi Uchiha replied.
"Various? He only gave me two." Itachi said.
"There are always multiple options, even if you might have been given them you can easily find your own."
"But what option should I pick, I can't think of one that will end good." Itachi said as all you could see in his eyes was sadness.
"True, none of the options will have a happy result. But still you have no choice but to pick one." Itachi Uchiha said.
"Morning Itachi, are you feeling alright?" Rias asked as she and Akeno had woken up, Rias was showing a look of concern.
"Does it still hurt?" Akeno asked also with a concerned look.
"I'm fine, the pain is gone." Itachi replied motionlessly.
"Itachi? Usually you would react when seeing us hugging you like this naked. Are you sure your feeling alright?" Rias leant in closer.
Itachi looked at the two girls and their adorable faces, he couldn't help but smile despite his situation. Itachi poked both Rias and Akeno's foreheads. "Sorry, I just have something on my mind that's all. I didn't mean to worry you two."
"What are you thinking about?" Rias asked.
"Has it something to do with that Jin?" Akeno questioned.
"… I'm thinking about how were going to deal with him and his friends." Itachi replied.
"Friends? Who else works for him?" Rias questioned.
"From what I've seen he has four co-workers, all of them comes from a shinobi clan from the ancient days. Each one of them is far more powerful than Kokabiel." Itachi said as the two girls widened their eyes in shock.
"We should inform onii-sama about this during the conference." Rias said.
"Yeah, about that. Would you mind if I stayed here? I just need to rest for a bit." Itachi said as Rias kissed his forehead.
"Of course, just focus on resting okay? We will talk more about this after the conference." Rias said with a cute smile.
"Do you want me to stay here and take care of you?" Akeno asked.
"No need, my parents are here. You need to accompany Rias and the others at the conference." Itachi replied.
"Very well then, we should get dressed and get ready, buchou." Akeno said as she went out of the bed and picked up her clothes getting dressed.
"Yeah, Itachi if there is anything you need contact either of us for help." Rias said giving a look of concern for Itachi.
"Will do." Itachi said as Rias as Akeno got off the bed and got dressed. Once the two girls got dressed in their school uniform they teleported to the academy. "What now?"
Later
"Yes, thank you." Itachi said as he had a small magic circle in his palm that vanished. He moved over to his window and saw with his sharingan a barrier forming around the academy. "It has begun."
At the Academy
Issei and the group, minus Itachi, Koneko and Gasper as the last two are in the clubroom, entered a room and in there were Sona and Tsubaki, Serafall, Sirzechs, Grayfia, Michael, Irina, Azazel, and Vali. "Allow me to introduce them. This is my sister and her peerage. They did very well in their recent battle with Kokabiel." Sirzechs said.
"Thank you very much. We appreciate your efforts." Michael said with a smile.
"Yeah, sorry about that. My guy got a little out of hand." Azazel said with a smirk.
"All of the representatives are here." Sirzechs said as Rias began giving her report on the battle they had against Kokabiel.
"There are incidents in which I, Rias Gremory and my peerage, have taken part." Rias said.
"I, Sona Sitri, testify that she has said nothing but the truth."
"Thank you, you may step down." Sirzechs said.
"Thank you, Rias-chan, So-tan." Serafall said as Sona gained a faint blush.
"I'd like to hear the Governor of the Fallen Angels' opinion on Rias' report." Sirzechs said looking over to Azazel.
"There's nothing much to say. Kokabiel acted of his own accord." Azazel said.
"It has nothing to do with you?" Michael asked.
"I was waiting to find out what he was up to. Looks like he never expected me to come to the city personally. I like this place." Azazel said looking over at Issei with a smirk.
"Please stay on topic." Sirzechs said.
"Hey, the Red Dragon Emperor and his brother the Uchiha reincarnation took care of it. I even sent the White Dragon Emperor to help, although he got there a little late. Kokabiel is dead now anyway, he won't come back." Azazel said.
"Our concern here is Kokabiel's motives. He said that he was not content with your decisions." Michael said.
"Yeah, he was pretty mad that I decided to pull out of the war when he was on a roll. I've got no interest in war, anyway." Azazel said.
"He was an unstable individual, then." Serafall said.
"I've heard a bunch about you guys, too." Azazel said.
"That has nothing to do with this conference. Today's conference is-"
"Yeah, enough small talk." Azazel interrupted Sirzechs. "Let's sign that peace treaty already. You guys were getting ready to do that anyway, weren't you?"
With Itachi
Itachi stood on the top of his house and looked towards the academy. "Seems that organization has attacked the conference. I want to help them, but…" Itachi clenched his fist.
"With the decision, you've made, you know what you have to do." Itachi Uchiha said.
Back at the conference
"The ones who started the war, God and the Satans, are gone, after all." Michael said.
"That's why we've got two guys here who, although not part of our stand-off, have the power to change the world. Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor, I'd like your input on this." Azazel said.
"I just want to fight strong guys." Vali said, looking bored.
"Heh. You don't need a war to find though opponents." Azazel said.
"Thought you'd say that." Vali said with a smirk.
"Well, Red Dragon Emperor, what do you think?"
"Wha- U-Uh… That's a little too much to process…" Issei said rubbing the back of his head.
"In that case, let me break it down for you. Hyoudou Issei, if we're at war, you can't have sex. But if we declare peace, survival and propagation of the species become the priority." Azazel said.
"Propagation… of the species?!" Issei questioned with a perverted grin.
"That's right. Every night, you and your future harem could be making babies. Peace lets you spend every day having sex with tons of beautiful devil women, which shouldn't be a problem since I think most women would like to have children with the Red Dragon Emperor. But if there's war, you won't have time for sex. How's that? Makes it simple, right?" Azazel questioned with a sly grin.
"I want peace! Make peace, not war!" Issei declared and then realized he was not alone in the room. "A-Anyway, I'm only going to use my power for buchou and my friends! And of course, for my brother! And, I will beat that creep!"
"Creep?" Azazel questioned.
"One of my servants, Hyoudou Itachi. Was attacked yesterday by a man named Jin." Rias informed.
"Jin? Lightning Lord Jin?" Michael questioned.
"So, Jin made a move huh? I did warn him." Vali said with a chuckle.
"Do you know where he is?!" Issei questioned glaring at Vali.
"No, not really. I have just fought against him before." Vali replied.
"This Jin recently attacked Heaven. Tell me anything you know about him." Michael said looking at Vali.
"Don't know much about him. Only a few things really. Such as his full name is Jin Uchiha." Vali said as everyone widened their eyes in shock besides Rias and her group.
"He's an Uchiha? But they are all supposed to be dead…" Michael uttered.
"I don't know how his family survived, but they did. I also know that he is at the same level as all of you four." Vali said looking at all the leaders whom narrowed their brows. "I also know that he's a part of a certain organization. Well a faction of that organization."
"Oh, is it that organization?" Azazel asked as most of the people in the room gained a look of confusion.
"Who knows." Vali shrugged his shoulders while smirking.
"What are you talking about?" Issei questioned.
"I will tell all of you later, don't worry." Azazel said.
"Very well then, Hyoudou Issei-kun. You had something you wanted to ask me?" Michael said.
"Yes, it' about Asia. Why did you exile her?" Issei asked as Asia gasped looking at Issei in shock. "Asia was so faithful, so why was she exiled?"
"After God died, only his system remained. You could call it a force that controls protection, mercy, and miracles. I am just barely keeping it running, so I had to remove all those who could cause it to malfunction." Michael replied.
"So, it was because Asia could heal Devils and Fallen Angels?" Issei questioned.
"We are maintained by the devotion from our adherents. We must remove any elements that could possibly harm our System." Michael said.
"And is that why an adherent who was accidently told of God's passing is also at risk of doing so?" Xenovia asked.
"I suppose so. We had no choice but to exile you and Asia Argento. I beg your forgiveness." Michael said as Irina stared at Xenovia in shock.
"There is no need for that, Michael-sama. Being a faithful Christian for most of my life, I had some regrets, but now, as a Devil, I am happy with my life." Xenovia declared. "My apologies to the other people of God present."
"I, too, feel happy with my life. I've found so many great people here." Asia said.
"I cannot thank you enough for your forgiving hearts." Michael said.
"Oh yeah, I heard one of my girls tricked and killed that girl over there." Azazel said with a carefree expression.
"Don't say that like it's none of your business! Some Fallen Angel woman killed Asia out of respect for you!" Issei yelled.
"I am responsible for what my subordinates do, so I'll pay you back with something only I can do." Azazel said.
"Issei…" Rias grabbed onto his arm trying to calm him down.
"What?!" Issei glared in anger when suddenly they began feeling some strange energy and everyone froze in time besides the leaders, Issei and Vali and those with Holy Swords, and Rias.
With Itachi
Itachi walked up a hill that had a full view over Kuoh Academy, on top of the hill were Jin, Fujiwara, Hana, Shiro, and Mako. "Oh, you came." Jin said with a smirk as Itachi gave them and emotionless stare with his sharingan activated.
Flashback
"A proposition?" Itachi questioned as Jin lifted him by the collar.
"Yes, a proposition." Jin replied with a smirk.
"What is it?!" Itachi questioned.
"Join us." Jin replied.
"You've got to be kidding?! Join you?! Why would I do that?!" Itachi questioned gritting his teeth.
"Like us you are a shinobi, and you have Uchiha blood otherwise you wouldn't be able to use certain mangekyou abilities after such a short time of learning them. Like it or not, but you are like us. Besides we need all the help we can get to reach our goal." Jin said.
"Goal? What kind of goal?!"
"We want to bring back the shinobi name into the world. We want to show the world that rejected us, that we rule! We will take over the world! We will show them whom rejected us that we are not freaks! We will show them that we are Gods among men!" Jin declared with a wicked smirk.
"Take over the world?" Itachi questioned.
"Yes, after all shinobis have done for the world… Shinobis have saved the world countless of times! And then they go and reject us, telling us that we are freaks of nature! Each and every one of us have been discriminated! Forced to go into hiding for centuries! Some of us have even witnessed people kill our loved ones, just because they had special abilities! Well no more…! If it weren't for shinobi the world would have been destroyed a long time ago… so we will take what is rightfully ours." Jin clenched his fist as lightning flickered around him, and with his sharingan glowing.
"And how are the five of you going to take over the world?" Itachi asked sarcastically.
"Well… That's were a certain organization we are a part of comes in." Jin said.
"Organization? What organization?" Itachi questioned as his body was shaking in pain.
"Khaos Brigade… An organization that has elements of all three factions. And several other creatures. We are a faction in that organization, we are called the Shinobi Faction. Although we have no interest in Khaos Brigade's goals, we need them to make sure our goal becomes a reality. Of course, we do a few things for them, while we also do our own thing." Jin explained.
"Khaos Brigade? What kind of organization is that?!"
"Heh. A terrorist organization, consisting of the old Maou's and their followers. They want to retake control of the underworld so they only attack things involving the three factions. While we assist them in some ways, while we also have our own agenda. While we work on our goal to rule the world, and among other things such as taking back a few things the Three Factions took from us." Jin said
"Took from us? What did they take?!" Itachi questioned.
"During the fall of the shinobi, the Three Factions took a few tools and jutsus sealed inside scrolls. And divided them between each other. They can contain all sorts of things." Jin replied, and brought Itachi's face close to his. "Now, what is your answer?" Jin asked with an evil grin.
"… No way…" Itachi said and headbutted Jin forcing him to let go. Itachi got up and charged. But then, Jin was suddenly in front of Itachi and punched him in the gut making him cough up blood.
"Then how about this? Your either with us or against us. Just so you know, if you're against us it will affect your friends as well." Jin said with a cold expression.
"Did you just threaten my friends?!" Itachi questioned in anger.
"Heh. If you go against us your friends will end up fighting us along with you. And then they will die. That's unless you think they stand a chance against us? After all, me and Fujiwara are at the same level as Sirzechs Lucifer. And the other three are way more powerful than Kokabiel." Jin said as Itachi widened his eyes in fear and his body was shaking. "So, let me ask you again. What is your answer?"
"…"
"I will give you to the end of the conference to decide. After all, Khaos Brigade is going to attack it. Gives us the perfect reason to go and kill you and your friends, if you say no." Jin said and lifted Itachi up by the collar once more. "Think about it. And come and find us when you have an answer." Jin tossed Itachi in the air, Jin then flinched his index right finger as a bolt of lightning struck Itachi, knocking him out.
Flashback end
"I take it, this means yes?" Jin said with a devilish smirk.
"…" Itachi clenched his fist. "The answer is no… For Hyoudou Itachi that is." Itachi said as they looked at him in confusion. "I'm Itachi Uchiha. Thanks to you knocking out Itachi Hyoudou I was able to take over this body. I'm willing to join you in order to achieve my goal."
"Your goal?" Fujiwara questioned.
"I desire power, I shall surpass the legendary Madara Uchiha. I will become the greatest Uchiha of all time." Itachi said with a cold smirk as he clenched his fist.
"If that was your goal, why did you try and help him take us down?" Jin questioned.
"How was I supposed to know what you wanted with him? If you had killed him I would have died as well. Therefor I had no choice but to protect him, I have been building up this bodies strength so that it one day will suit my power. As we speak now my power is increasing to my prime level. Soon I will be able to pursue my goal, and siding with you guys is the quickest way to do so. So, sure, I will help you out." Itachi said with a grin.
"Heh. I've heard stories of Itachi the Clan Killer. I must say, you are more interesting than I thought. Oh, and I respect you and your search for power." Jin said with a smirk.
"So, he's one of us now?" Hana questioned.
"Seems so." Shiro replied with a bored expression.
"Let's make it official." Fujiwara stepped to the side as a little girl appeared from a magic circle, she had long black hair and grey eyes, she wore a Gothic Lolita outfit. And when Itachi looked at her with his sharingan, her energy looked like a bottomless pit.
"W-Who is this?" Itachi questioned.
"Ophis, the leader of Khaos Brigade." Fujiwara replied as the little girl went up to Itachi. "She's the Dragon God of Infinity."
"Pleasure to meet you." Itachi extended his hand.
"Welcome to Khaos Brigade." Ophis shook Itachi's hand. "What's your name?"
"Itachi… Itachi Uchiha."
Flashback
"The way I see it you have three options. One you don't side with them and hope for the best, that your friends will be okay. Two, you side with them and forget all about your friends. Or three, you side with them for the meantime and play along that you're on their side, until your friends and brother becomes strong enough to deal with them, and have them become stronger by playing the role of the villain giving them the desire to grow stronger." Itachi Uchiha said in Itachi Hyoudou's head.
Itachi looked at the academy from the rooftop of his house. "Either way my friends will end up getting hurt." Itachi clenched his fist.
"However, only one of them is a certainty to lead them to their deaths. The other two options will allow them to live." Itachi Uchiha said.
"So, what? I will just become a terrorist? Kill people, commit crime that will forever make me a villain of the Three Factions." Itachi said and placed his hand over his temple.
"There is one option that might help." Itachi Uchiha said.
"What?" Itachi questioned.
"Blame me, I'm already a criminal after all." Itachi Uchiha said.
"You're a criminal?" Itachi questioned.
"I had to choose something similar once it made me a criminal forever and disgraced my name. You can say that I took over your mind and body. And when the time comes you can pretend that Issei and the others saved you from me. You will be the victim and I will be the culprit." Itachi Uchiha said.
"Are you sure about this? You'll end up disgracing your name even further." Itachi said showing signs of concern.
Itachi Uchiha let out a small chuckle. "Trust me, my name is disgraced enough. I doubt this will do much more to it."
"Even if that solves that. How am I supposed live with myself after what I might have to do?" Itachi questioned.
"I will help you, it doesn't matter anymore anyway. You will be forced to live a difficult life no matter which option you pick. So, we might as well merge." Itachi Uchiha said with a sigh.
"Merge? Are you certain about this?" Itachi questioned.
"There's no other option. Close your eyes." Itachi Uchiha said, and Itachi complied and closed his eyes. When he opened, them he was in a dark space with Itachi Uchiha standing in front of him. "Let's begin. It was nice to see you live your peaceful life as long as it lasted." Itachi Uchiha smiled as his body let out a blue glow.
"Thank you, for everything you've done and ever will do for me." Itachi said with a thankful smile. "Will I still be me?"
"Yes, with maybe some slight personality differences since you will regain my memories. And like I have said, slowly you will begin to achieve my full power. But remember Jin and Fujiwara are not far away from my prime power. So, do not try anything until Issei and the others are strong enough." Itachi Uchiha said as his body slowly turned into little blue orbs that flew into Itachi Hyoudou. "I will miss training you. Well at least… the people most precious to us will live. Goodbye." Itachi Uchiha vanished into the blue orbs as they all flew into Itachi Hyoudou.
The next moment Itachi was back on the rooftop as memories from Itachi Uchiha slowly began returning to him. It was like he was watching a movie, he could see everything clearly. Tears started running down his eyes as memories of him losing so many friends, and slaughtering his own clan, parents, lover. All in order to protect the world from breaking into a new great war and to protect his little brother, Sasuke Uchiha. Everything returned to him. "Heh. Now I remember why I didn't want my memories to return… It was so I could get a fresh start…" Itachi placed his hand over his temple. "Now then, guess it's time for my act to begin."
Flashback end
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to be a part of your organization." Itachi said with a fake smile that looked identical to a real one.
"Now all that remains is for you to sever the ties with your friends." Jin said.
"I will take care of it." Itachi said with a cold emotionless expression.
"You will do so by meeting up with Vali once it's time for him to retreat." Fujiwara instructed.
"Vali is a part of the Khaos Brigade?" Itachi questioned.
"He has his own team in the organization that we work sometimes with." Fujiwara replied.
"So, all I have to do, is get Vali and officially sever all ties with the friends Itachi Hyoudou made?" Itachi asked.
"Yep, then we will welcome you. And help you reach your goal, as well as you helping us reach our goal." Jin said with a small smile.
"What is your goal, Ophis-ojousama?" Itachi asked.
"I wish to return to the world of silence. I wish to defeat Great Red who stole my home. I want to return to the Dimensional Gap." Ophis said showing no sign of emotion.
"I see." Itachi said as he had no idea what the Dimensional Gap was, but he decided not to ask anything more about it. "Well then, I will get into position." Itachi vanished in a pack of crows.
The Academy
Itachi arrived at the academy as his crows managed to fly in thanks to the opening some magicians whom worked for Khaos Brigade had made. The crows formed into Itachi on a rooftop. He looked down and saw Azazel battle against a woman that was surrounded by black snake like things, the woman had brown hair tied into a bun, her skin was tan, she wore a low-cut dress with a high slit exposing a large portion of her breasts. And Azazel was fighting in some sort of golden armor. Itachi then spotted Issei and the others fighting the magicians. His eyes focused on Issei, Rias and Akeno. 'I'm truly sorry that things had to come to this, please forgive me everyone.' Itachi thought as a trail of tears ran down his face.
Itachi wiped the tears away and gained a stone-cold expression. "There's no turning back now." Itachi said as he witnessed Azazel's arm was tied up by her as she declared she was going to take Azazel down with her. Azazel cut off his own arm and threw a light spear at her head vaporizing her to dust. Azazel then deactivated the armor that turned into a small purple crystal ball in his hand. Itachi then saw the others finishing of the magicians. "They have grown stronger, but they need to keep on growing stronger." Itachi then saw a blue light crash Azazel into the ground. "Guess it's time."
Azazel crawled up from the hole. "Ow! I must be getting old. Vali?" Azazel looked up at Vali whom was in his Balance Breaker.
"Forgive me, Azazel. This side seemed more interesting." Vali said with an amused tone.
"Vali! So you were the one who betrayed us?!" Issei questioned in anger.
"Hey, Vali." Azazel dusted himself off and brought out his multiple Fallen Angel wings. "I want to ask you something. Shemhazai, my second in command, noticed that rebels from the three great factions were banding together. The Khaos Brigade, was it?" Azazel said with a smirk.
"Khaos Brigade?" Sirzechs questioned.
"A group of rebels?! There aren't many who can control a bunch of guys like that…" Serafall said.
"And their leader is the Dragon God of Infinity, Ophis." Azazel said.
"Ophis?! It can't be?!" Rias questioned in shock.
"A Dragon?" Issei questioned.
"The Dragon God of Infinity. Feared by even God himself, he's one of the strongest Dragons." Rias explained.
"Indeed, I am working with Ophis, but neither of us want to rule the world. Some idiots came after us for our power." Vali said.
"That explains a thing or two. I thought you'd gotten all buddy-buddy with Katarea…because neither of you could become a Satan." Azazel said with a smirk.
"Neither of you?!" Serafall questioned.
"What do you mean?!" Rias questioned.
"My name is Vali Lucifer." Vali declared.
"What?" Sirzechs questioned in shock.
"Lucifer?!" Issei questioned.
"It can't be." Rias said.
"I am a descendant of a previous Satan. Sired by the grandson of a pure-blooded Satan, and birthed by a human woman, I'm a half Devil." Vali declared smirking underneath his armor.
"I see a half… No wonder we had not heard of you." Sirzechs said.
"Even though he shares blood with a Satan, his human half allowed him to host the Vanishing Dragon. It's hard to believe you even exist." Azazel said.
"Perhaps I epitomize the word miracle." Vali said as he had eight devil bat wings on his back.
"Of all the hosts of the White Dragon Emperor, past, present, and future, this man is, without a doubt going to be the most powerful." Azazel said.
"Hyoudou Issei. Fate is cruel thing, is it not? With the power of a Satan and a Dragon, I am the mightiest being of all. Meanwhile, you are a mere human. Until you were reborn as a Devil, you were nothing more than an average high school boy. That is to say, without your Boosted Gear, you are nothing. So pitiful… So laughably pitiful! Our Sacred Gears are fated enemies, and yet our abilities are worlds apart." Vali mocked Issei.
"So what of it?!" Issei questioned in anger.
"I know! How does this sound? You devote yourself to revenge… after I kill your parents. If a man like me were to kill your parents, you ought to be willing to face your fate. I'm sure it will be much more exciting end for your parents than letting their lives slowly peter out. It's brilliant!" Vali said as Issei's body was shaking in rage.
"Show me how strong you are now, Issei." Itachi said to himself still standing on the rooftop.
"I'm gonna kill this asshole." Issei grunted in anger.
"Issei!" Rias said.
"What have my parents' lives got to do… with your goddam plans?!" Issei yelled as his body began letting out a green glow.
Welsh Dragon, Overbooster!
Issei entered his Balance Breaker. "You will never kill my parents, you son of a bitch!"
"Look Albion. Hyoudou Issei's power just grew exponentially." Vali said with amusement in his voice.
"A Sacred Gear's strength comes from its wielder's will. He's consumed with blind rage against you. Rage, of all feelings, is the most effective in powering a Dragon."
"If that's the case, he's more suitable host for a Dragon than I."
"Shut your, damn mouth already! Ascalon!" Issei flew up in the air.
Blade!
The Ascalon sword popped out from his right gauntlet, he charged at Vali whom flew to the side dodging him.
"A Dragon Slayer… Even a single hit will cause severe damage."
"Then all I have to do is dodge." Vali said as the next moment it looked like a white flash and a red flash was colliding in the sky. "So weak! Too weak!" Vali kicked Issei in the gut making him cough up blood.
Divide!
Issei's red aura vanished, as he crashed to the ground. "My power… I almost forgot. That guy absorbs the power from anyone he touches."
"Issei!" Rias screamed.
"I'm alright buchou! Don't worry about me!" Issei got back up.
"Issei-senpai don't lose." Gasper said.
"Yeah… I'm gonna win!" Issei declared as he let out a green glow.
Boost!
"I see." Vali said as it looked like red light flew off from his wings.
"What?!"
"He's discarding the power he can't contain through his wings. That allows him to maintain maximum power." Ddraig said.
"Even the strongest hosts have their limits, huh?" Issei questioned as Vali gathered white energy in his hands.
"I remembered something. You fought Kokabiel to protect your brother and friends. Should I kill your friends before I do your parents?!" Vali threw orbs of white energy at Asia and Gasper.
"Asia!" Issei leaped in front of the attack.
"Over here!" Vali charged.
"Fucker!" Issei crashed into Vali. "I've had enough of your shit asshole!"
"Hate me! Loathe me! Use your strength to entertain me, Hyoudou Issei!" Vali pushed Issei off.
"Ddraig! Transfer our power to the Ascalon!" Issei said as a green flow of energy embodied the sword.
Transfer!
Issei punched Vali across the face breaking some parts of his mask. "Got ya!"
Transfer!
Issei transferred his power into Vali. "I'll enhance your absorption and emission and put an excessive load on your system! So much that your wings will give in!"
"We're going into overdrive. It's best we back off and regain our footing." Albion said.
"Take the power of the Dragon Slayer!" Issei said and punched Vali with the edge of the Ascalon breaking his armor.
Vali landed on the ground clutching his chest and coughing up blood. "Impressive… You blew my Sacred Gear apart. Not bad at all. You truly are my rival!" Vali smirked and got up and reactivated his Balance Breaker.
"Are you serious?!" Issei questioned.
"It's not over until the host can no longer stand. That's how we fight." Ddraig said.
The Sacred Gear then let out a glow. "What's wrong?!"
"The armlet's time is almost up."
"My weakness is holding me back again?!"
"We can't let that time be a limiting factor. Running's your only option!"
"I can't run away and leave everyone behind!" Issei said and then spotted a blue crystal from Vali's old broken armor in front of him. "Ddraig, you told me that a Sacred Gear can evolve to satisfy its wielder's will, right?" Issei picked up the crystal.
"Interesting. Are you willing to die for it, though?"
"I don't want to die. I haven't even lost my virginity yet. But… I'll take all the pain for it!" Issei declared.
"That's my partner! I'll do whatever you want! I am the manifestation of oure power, the Red Dragon Emperor! Let's make it through this alive, partner! Ready, Hyoudou Issei?!"
"Yeah!"
"What are you up to now?" Vali questioned.
"Vanishing Dragon, Vali! I'll be taking you power!" Issei crushed the crystal and then he began screaming in pain while holding onto his arm.
"Wh-What's going on?" Gasper questioned.
"It hurts! It hurts! Those spears of light are nothing compared to this!" Issei screamed in pain.
"You're trying to absorb my power?" Vali questioned in surprise.
"Kiba was able to put the holy and the demonic together! So I'm going to take your power of annihilation and give it to my Sacred Gear!" Issei declared as his arm was letting out a white glow.
"How foolish. We are polar opposites. That is only going to kill you." Albion said.
"Albion, if there's anything I learned from this host, is that if a fool is foolish enough, he'll achieve the impossible!" Ddraig said.
"Call me a fool! If I don't have any other talent, I might as well be the greatest fool of all! Evolve to my will!" Issei shouted.
Vanishing Dragon, Power is Taken!
One of Issei's gauntlets turned white. "I guess you could call it the Dividing Gear!"
"Impossible… That's impossible!" Albion said in disbelief.
"You just slashed a huge chunk off your lifespan, even though, as a Devil, you practically had eternal life." Ddraig said.
"I don't need to live that long! There're plenty of things I still need to do, though. Vali. I've got your power now!"
"How interesting!" Vali let out a laughter. "It's time that I showed you my true power!"
"Enough!" Itachi leaped down between them.
"Nii-san?!" Issei questioned.
"Itachi!" Rias said in relief.
"What are you doing here-" Issei stopped midsentence as Itachi gave him a cold glare. "Wh-What's wrong?"
"Itachi Hyoudou is gone! I'm Itachi Uchiha! I have taken over this body, after all this time! Finally, I have truly been revived!" Itachi declared with a cold grin.
"What are you saying?!" Rias ran up to Itachi but stopped as a kunai flew past her cutting her shoulder. "Ugh! Itachi…?"
"I told you, Itachi Hyoudou is gone." Itachi said with a sinister laughter.
"What are you saying?! Nii-san!" Issei shouted as he stepped in front of Rias.
"I'm not your brother. Like I said he's gone." Itachi said coldly.
"What is the meaning of this?" Sirzechs questioned.
"The moment Jin knocked out Itachi Hyoudou I was finally able to take over his body. You see back when the spirits of the otherworld decided to reincarnate me, I latched my old soul onto it, that way I would one day be able to achieve my goal that was robbed from me!" Itachi clenched his fist and put up an expression of anger. "Finally I will become the mightiest Uchiha that has ever lived! And I shall become a God, and thanks to my old foolish little brother Sasuke. That goal is possible, in the Uchiha stone tablet he had written down how one would awaken the legendary Rinnegan. And with that I will become a true God, and claim my right to be the strongest. And I will achieve this goal by joining Khaos Brigade."
"A God complex seriously?" Azazel stepped forward with a sarcastic grin.
"But why? Since when have you been like this?! You have helped us and Itachi before!" Rias said.
"Oh that, that was only to ensure that this body would reach the strength I needed. Also, to keep him alive until he reached that level. I couldn't care less about either of you." Itachi said while inwardly hating himself for saying this.
"What the hell? You took over my brother's body for this?! Let him go!" Issei shouted and charged at Itachi. Itachi stepped to the side with a drill made out of fire forming around his right arm, he then pushed the drill into Issei's gut making him cough up blood, and his armor broke into pieces and he was sent flying into the gymnasium wall.
"I will walk my own path, don't get in my way or I will kill you." Itachi said looking down on Issei with his sharingan glowing.
"Let… my… brother… go!" Issei grabbed onto Itachi's leg.
"Hn." Itachi kicked Issei away.
"Issei-san!" Asia screamed and ran over to him along with the others.
"HIIIYYYAAAHHH!" Kiba charged at Itachi with his sword raised above his head. "Let senpai go!"
Itachi stepped to the side as Kiba's sword hit the ground. Itachi then roundhouse kicked Kiba across the face sending him flying back. "Fools."
"We thought you were our comrade… Let my Itachi go free!" Rias demanded with tears streaming from her eyes.
"Do you wish to see him? Here you go." Itachi used his sharingan to cast an illusion on Rias.
She was in a dark space seeing Itachi Hyoudou chained up in a dark space inside a cage. "Itachi?" Rias questioned.
"R-Run Rias… He's serious about this…" Itachi uttered and coughed up blood.
"Itachi!" Rias screamed and was back in the real world.
"Well, how was it inside my mind?" Itachi asked with a cold emotionless expression.
Rias was shaking with tears running down her face. "Let him go!" Rias demanded and blasted Itachi with a wave of destruction. Itachi took out a kunai with a paper bomb tag attached to it. He threw it at the destruction wave making a small explosion.
'Forgive me Rias, Akeno, Issei, everyone… Forgive me!' Itachi thought.
"Stand back, he's too strong for any of you. I will deal with him." Azazel stepped up.
"You really think you can beat me with one arm, Governor?" Itachi said emotionlessly.
"From what I sense, despite you having gotten a huge power boost. Your body still hasn't reached your full power. I would say we both have a handicap in this fight." Azazel said and created a light spear with his one arm.
"Hn, I still have far better skills than you." Itachi said in a cold tone.
"Before I start beating you, care to tell me what your plan is?" Azazel questioned.
"Simple, I just want to be the strongest. And I will achieve the level of a God. And since I promised to help Jin and the rest of his group. I suppose you could I say I'm also going to take over the world and restore the shinobi name." Itachi said.
"So, that's Jin's goal, nice to know. While as you are simply a power-hungry maniac." Azazel said mockingly.
"Say what you want about my goal, but the fact is I can actually achieve it." Itachi said with a small grin.
"And how do you intend to achieve the legendary Rinnegan that will supposedly make you into a God?" Azazel asked.
"I already have the one thing I need, now I just need to find the last thing and its power will be mine." Itachi said with a cold malicious smirk.
"If that's the case, I will just stop you here and now!" Azazel threw the light spear that pierced Itachi whom turned into a pack of crows.
Itachi appeared behind Azazel. "Like I said, I have far better skills then you." Itachi stabbed Azazel through the stomach with his katana.
"Damn!" Azazel coughed up blood.
Itachi pulled the sword out and kicked Azazel down. "Hn." Itachi then dodged a destruction wave from Sirzechs.
"Release Itachi-kun, or else you will have to deal with me." Sirzechs said as his eyes glowed red as Serafall and Grayfia stood on his side.
"Even I'm not foolish enough to go up against all of you at once, yet that is." Itachi said as his eyes morphed into mangekyou.
"Itachi-kun, please come back to us…" Akeno said as she was on the verge of breaking down into tears.
"Hn." Itachi looked at Akeno with his mangekyou and in the next moment Itachi stabbed Akeno. Akeno fell to the ground as Itachi seemed not to have moved an inch.
"What did you do to Akeno-san?!" Issei questioned as he struggled to get back up.
"I placed her in an illusion. Now, are you still standing? You're far more durable than I thought." Itachi looked at Issei with a cold stare. 'Please stay down, please…'
"Nii-san! Fight! Don't let him control you!" Issei shouted trying to reach his brother, not knowing that his brother was actually well aware of what was going on, and what he was doing.
"It's useless, I control everything now." Itachi said motionlessly.
"I will not let you leave…! I will not let you take my brother away!" Issei yelled and went back into his Balance Breaker. Itachi raised his brow in surprise.
"I must say, you are a fool among fools. The way you are, you can't beat me, the way you are you will never be able to bring your dearest older brother back. He will forever be trapped in my mind. I shall accomplish my goal no matter whom I have to kill to accomplish it, if it's you or Rias and Akeno then so be it." Itachi said with a cold dead serious expression.
"Don't you fucking, dare…! Don't you dare say those words, with my brothers face!" Issei began letting out a powerful red glow. "I will break your legs if I have to! And then we will push you out from my brother's mind!"
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Explosion!
Dragon Shot!
Issei punched a red wave of energy at Itachi whom remained calm. "Let me show you the difference with your power and mine."
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a large ball of fire, that was even larger than the old schoolhouse. When Issei's wave collided with it, the wave got easily overpowered. An equal large wave of destruction from Sirzechs collided with the ball of fire creating a massive explosion that sent most people flying back. "As expected of you Sirzechs-san. You bring a lot of firepower." Itachi said with an emotionless expression.
"Thank you, Sirzechs-sama." Issei thanked.
"Issei-kun, you might want to stay back. Even though that wasn't my full power I didn't expect him to match that wave in power. He is growing stronger by the minute, he's approaching Satan-class level and fast. You're no match for him as you are now." Sirzechs said as he looked at Itachi with grief and sadness. "Itachi-kun…"
"I don't have time for this. Now!" Itachi shouted as the barrier around the academy broke and down landed a man with short black hair wearing some sort of Chinese armor, he held a staff in his arms.
"Bikou? Why are you here?" Vali questioned.
"Jin and his gang said I had to pick you and our new recruit up. Also because you and I have to fight those people from the Norse." The man known as Bikou replied.
"I see it's time already." Vali said.
"Who the hell is that?" Issei questioned.
"He's the decedent of Son Goku, the famous monkey from the Journey of the West." Azazel said as Asia was healing his injury.
"Nice to meet ya, Red Dragon Emperor!" Bikou greeted.
"Let's go already." Itachi said and walked over to Vali and Bikou.
"You're not going anywhere!" Issei yelled.
"… Get going Bikou." Itachi ignored Issei.
"I said you're not going anywhere!" Issei charged at Itachi with his fist raised.
'Forgive me for doing this, Issei.' Itachi turned around and looked Issei in the eye with his Mangekyou.
Tsukuyomi!
Issei was suddenly attached on a cross with several Itachi's surrounding him. "I will show you the difference between the two of us. For the next 72 hours, you will feel nothing but pain." Itachi stabbed Issei all over the body with katana blades.
"AAAARRRGGGHHH!" Issei screamed in pain for each stab, his wounds vanished quickly, he didn't die, he only felt the pain of the blades digging into his flesh.
"In the world of Tsukuyomi, time and space, even physical matter. I control it all." Itachi said as he kept stabbing Issei with the katana blades.
"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Ugh! I-I will not let you win! I will not let you have my brother!" Issei yelled filled with determination.
"I wonder… how long will that spirit of yours last?" Itachi kept stabbing Issei as Issei either screamed or grunted in pain. "If you wish to get your brother back, you and your friends need to get stronger. Much, much, stronger."
"J-Just you wait… I will get so strong… I will knock you right out from his mind!" Issei declared as he was sweating and panting.
Itachi had a small smile creep up on his face. "Interesting. Let's see if you can. Only 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds to go."
"AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
In the real world Issei was screaming in pain as he fell to his knees, he fell to the ground looking at Itachi while panting. "N-Nii-san…" He then slowly closed his eyes as he fell unconscious.
"Issei-san!" Asia rushed over to Issei.
"Issei!" Rias and the others rushed over to him as well. Rias looked at Itachi with tears streaming from her eyes. "Just you wait… we will rescue Itachi from you no matter what!"
"Oh, before I go." Itachi performed a few hand signs and placed his right palm on his chest. "Release!" His chest began to glow red. "AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH! Ugh! Argh!" Itachi screamed in pain as slowly out from his chest came a chess piece. Itachi panted and picked up the piece and threw it to Rias. "There, now… I'm no longer a part of your peerage. Let's go."
Rias picked up the chess piece and held it close to her chest as the tears won't stop coming. 'Forgive me… Rias…' Itachi thought as a small trail of tear fell from his eyes. He quickly turned around as a drop of tear fell to the ground. "Let's go." Itachi said as Bikou swung his staff and opened a portal beneath them. 'Forgive me… everyone.' Itachi thought as he, Vali and Bikou vanished through the portal.
Later: Issei pov
Issei woke up as Asia had her hands placed on Issei's head. After everything was over Issei asked Michael if he could allow Asia and Xenovia to pray, which he agreed to.
Elsewhere Itachi pov
Play: Of These Chains by Red
Inside a mansion walked Itachi with Vali and Bikou. "This is the Shinobi Faction's base?! Are you kidding?!" Bikou questioned looking around the mansion.
"It's Fujiwara's." Vali said.
Itachi remained silent until he spotted little Ophis standing in front of him. "Itachi, welcome."
"Ophis-ojousama, thank you." Itachi bowed.
"Is there anything you want?" Ophis asked.
"Some new clothes would be nice." Itachi replied.
Issei pov
Now everyone was gathered in silence at the clubroom. No one said a word as they were all trying to get it to sink in that Itachi was gone. 'I failed nii-san… I need to get stronger and free him…' Issei thought clenching his fists.
Rias looked at a group photo where she and Akeno were hugging onto Itachi's arms as he had a faint blush, as Issei had his arm over Asia's shoulder with s large grin and as all the other club members were gathered in front of the old schoolhouse. A drop of tear from Rias fell onto the Itachi in the photo. Akeno had the same sad expression as Rias as she was struggling to hold back her tears.
"Excuse us." Sona and Tsubaki entered the room. "Rias, how are you feeling?" Sona asked her childhood friend with a concerned expression.
"…"
"Rias, I'm sorry to say this but. Snap out of it." Sona said bluntly as Rias flinched. "You need to get a grip, you need to stay strong for your peerage. You need to stay strong for Itachi, if you want to bring him back." Sona said.
Rias wiped her tears from her eyes. "Yeah… I know… I'm sorry." Rias said with a sad smile.
The door then opened with Azazel having both arms walking in. "Hey, I'm the new official advisor for the club! Now, I realize that all of you are sad about Itachi. That's why I'm here to help you!"
"Help us?" Issei questioned.
"I will train all of you to use your Sacred Gears, and I will help you all improve in power. I even got permission from Sirzechs. I will use my research to help all Sacred Gear users in here to reach their full potential! You're gonna call me Azazel-sensei for now!" Azazel declared.
"Azazel-sensei? That just feels wrong." Issei said.
"Well that's it. Best of luck!" Azazel said with a carefree expression.
"Best of luck?! I haven't agreed to anything!" Rias said.
"I have a message from Sirzechs Lucifer, all of the girls from the Occult Research Club, will live at the Hyoudou residence from now!" Azazel declared.
""What?!""
"Also, tell me what is your main goal, Hyoudou Issei?" Azazel questioned.
"I will bring my nii-san back, then I will become the Harem King!" Issei declared.
"I see. And the rest of you?"
"We will all focus on bringing Itachi back." Rias declared.
"We will bring back Itachi-kun." Akeno declared.
"I will bring back my best friend, Itachi-senpai." Kiba declared.
"We will bring back Itachi-san!" Asia declared.
"Bring senpai back." Koneko declared showing a little determination.
"B-Bring Itachi-senpai back…" Gasper uttered from his box.
"We will bring back senpai." Xenovia declared.
"Good." Azazel said with a smile and left the room.
Itachi pov
Itachi was in a changing room as two magic circles with holograms of Sirzechs and Azazel. "I'm thankful for your cooperation back at the conference." Itachi bowed. "And again Azazel, sorry about stabbing you"
"Don't worry about it. I'm just sorry that you had to do this, Itachi." Azazel said showing signs of grief.
"Itachi-kun, are you sure there is no other way?" Sirzechs asked with a look of concern.
"There isn't. With Ophis along with Jin and Fujiwara, not to mention the rest of the Shinobi Faction. Things have gotten complicated, this is the only way for me to keep the others safe."
"I'm ashamed that we have to result using you in something like this. Good luck, Itachi-kun." Sirzechs said before his hologram vanished.
"I trust you to make Issei and the others stronger, Azazel." Itachi said.
"Count on me. Sorry about this, old friend." Azazel said with a sigh and then his hologram vanished as well.
"Thank you."
Issei pov
Issei stood in front of his parents with the girls from the club behind him. "What?! Itachi went to study abroad?!" Miss Hyoudou questioned.
"Yeah, he said he will be back in time for graduation." Rias said.
"Still, the fact that he didn't tell us… seriously that boy will worry me to death." Mr. Hyoudou sighed.
Issei chuckled nervously. "Yeah, but he'll be back. And then you can scold him." Issei hid his right fist behind his back as he was clenching his fist. 'I swear it, I will bring him back.'
Itachi pov
Itachi walked into a room that had large windows with Ophis, Jin, Fujiwara, Hana, Shiro, Mako, Vali, and Bikou. Stood in the end of the room as two lines of Devils in armor were kneeling before him on each side as Itachi walked past them to the end of the room. He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds decorated on it, he wore a grey shirt and pants, black sandals, his toes and finger nails had black nail polish, he also wore a black belt that had his katana strapped on it. You could only see his back as he walked to the end of the room. When he arrived in the end standing in front of the others, he turned around and placed his old ANBU mask over his face as his blood red sharingan glowed from the masks eyeholes.
That's the end for now!
Surprise (well maybe not) Itachi once again sacrificed his own life to protect the ones he loves. Not only that, but he's finally merged with his old self and is slowly approaching his old full power.
Now even Issei has put his goal of Harem King on hold until he saves Itachi from his "Itachi Uchiha". Now the next chapter Itachi will begin to go on missions given to him by the Shinobi Faction.
The Shinobi Faction's goal is pure and simple. They want to restore the shinobi name in the world by taking over the world and make sure everyone appreciates the shinobi for everything they once did for the world. They each have their own reason for following this goal which we will tell you all in the future.
And Itachi will pretend that his goal is that he wants to become the strongest (which was the fake goal he told Sasuke that he wanted, before his truth was revealed) While his real goal is simply to play the role of a villain giving Issei and the others a reason to grow stronger, then when they reach the level needed to fight the Shinobi Faction Itachi will return to them.
And since I have updated this story 3 times this in a row, it might take a little longer until we update again. Maybe 5-6 weeks from now, or maybe sooner I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Anyway, remember to leave a review!
-Later!
