soulessoldier: Thanks!
merendinoemiliano: Thanks! Ben's source of strength will be revealed sooner or later and it's not some experiment thing. And Fujiwara is not necessary Naruto descendent he is the descendent of the Uzumaki clan, but he could be coming directly from Naruto's bloodline. Not exactly easy to tell considering there's been over millions of years since Naruto lived. And thanks for the suggestion, but remember the suggestions might not necessary go to Itachi it could go to the other Shinobi Faction members.
Guest: Well first, a fresh start doesn't necessarily mean it will result in a good life. And his not really repeating his life since his not planning on dying and he has learned from his past mistake hence why he's relying on help from Azazel and Sirzechs.
Harambe: I see, well Itachi will get stronger, eventually and he might get rinnegan though.
Nikieboy: What can I say, this is just the type of character Itachi is.
Senpai the God: Like I said in the PM this is the type of character is.
Lashamore: Thanks! And, why wouldn't he? Itachi does love his (new) little brother just as much as he loved Sasuke.
Chapter 11: Reunion!
After a few weeks of going over the plan, Itachi arrived through a portal with Bikou and Kuroka on a small mountain hill. Itachi looked up with slight wide eyes seeing that the sky was purple. In his view a slight distance away was a town from the looks of it. With a large hotel where the party was being held. "So, this is the underworld." Itachi uttered as his sharingan glowed through the ANBU masks eyeholes, and the wind blew through his long black hair and his Akatsuki cloak.
"Nya, Shirone, onee-chan is coming to see you." Kuroka hummed in a cheerful tone.
"The party starts tonight, let's camp out here and-" Bikou said when suddenly Itachi just walked down the mountain towards the town. "Hey, where are you going?"
"Teleporting in there will be a little risky, it's better to just walk into town and immobilize any guards." Itachi replied and kept walking.
"Awww, man come on. It's like a few hours of walking!" Bikou whined a little sounding like a little child.
"Precisely, by the time we get there the party will have just started." Itachi said.
"But what if we get caught, nya?" Kuroka questioned.
"They won't expect us at the party anyway, and they most definitely will not expect us to walk into town. Once we get in the town we can find a way to sneak into the hotel without being discovered." Itachi replied and they couldn't find anything to go against his arguments, it was a good plan. If they had teleported in there they would have had a greater chance of being discovered. The two Vali Team members sighed and followed after Itachi.
Standing outside of the gate leading into the town stood two devil guards dressed in armor with black trident spears guarding. "Huh?" The guards spotted three figures walking out from the woods, a man wearing a mask dressed in a black cloak with red clouds decorated on it walking in the center, with a young tanned skinned man with short black hair dressed in Chinese battle armor on the masked man's right, and on the man's left was a young woman with black hair dressed in a black kimono.
"What the? Who are they?"
"State your business!" The two guards brought their tridents in an x-formation blocking the trios path. The young woman and the young tanned skin man were about to attack when suddenly the masked man raised his hand stopping them. The man looked into the guard's eyes as his eyes glowed red.
The guards began to look a little drowsy. "Oh, forgive me sir. Please proceed." The guards stepped to the side and the trio walked past them. The guards then fell to the ground unconscious.
"What did you do to them?" Bikou questioned.
"I just simply altered their memories, they thought we were important guests for the party. I then put them to sleep and deleted the memory of them ever seeing us." Itachi replied.
"Huh, neat. But why not just kill them?" Bikou questioned.
"Because their bodies might be found and the whole town would be at high alert. It's just much simpler this way." Itachi replied motionlessly.
"Well not that I mind, as long as the job gets done I'm satisfied." Bikou said with his arms on the back of his head while he had a big goofy grin on his face.
"Ne, ne, Itachi-kun, is it going to be difficult for you to fight your old friends?" Kuroka questioned with a curious expression.
"They're Itachi Hyoudou's friends, I couldn't care less what happens to them." Itachi replied hating himself for saying it, but he couldn't risk it despite not being a part of the Shinobi Faction Kuroka and Bikou are still terrorists and could easily report any strange behavior from Itachi to Jin.
"So, it's true? Your Itachi Uchiha and you have taken over the body of your reincarnation. Nya."
"Yes, it's true." Itachi said as they walked into the town seeing devils going through their normal lives, children running around playing, shopkeepers sealing merchandises, people walking around the market shopping.
"Ne, ne, then is your sharingan like Jin's or is it more like a Sacred Gear?" Kuroka asked in a little lower tone so that the people around them could not hear them.
"It's a bloodline trait like Jin's." Itachi replied.
"Ne, ne, then would you like to make a baby with me? Nya." Kuroka stepped in front of Itachi and looked at him and gave him a wink.
"I would rather not." Itachi replied with a deadpan expression.
"Nya… Just like Vali, he said no to." Kuroka sighed with a slight disappointed expression.
"Why did you even ask me that question in the first place?" Itachi questioned.
"I want strong kittens that's why. Nya. That's why either your power or a dragon will do just fine." Kuroka replied.
"Hn, seems like most of you women now a days only care about strong offspring." Seriously, first Xenovia asking Issei to give her strong children and now Kuroka asking me, then again, she would probably ask anyone she gets drawn to by the power they have.
"Kakakaka! Your one cold dude, even colder than Vali." Bikou laughed with a big goofy grin.
"There it is." Itachi looked up at the hotel building where the party will be held. It had a forest on the edge in the back. "Hn." Itachi then spotted a familiar face. "Grayfia." Sirzechs queen, and the strongest queen there is was discussing with some guards about the security.
"Lady Rias and her peerage should arrive soon, and same with Lucifer-sama. Make sure security is at high alert. We do not wish for this party to be attacked by Khaos Brigade or any enemy." Grayfia informed the guards.
""Yes, ma'am!""
"Hide, we don't want to deal with her now." Itachi said as the trio walked into an alley. However, Grayfia spotted the Itachi's cloak in the corner of her eye. She narrowed her eyes at the alley way where the cloak vanished into.
"If I'm not wrong that was Sirzechs Lucifer's queen, Grayfia Lucifuge. You made a good call avoiding her. Nya." Kuroka said.
"From what Fuji and Jin told us about you, shouldn't you be able to deal with her?" Bikou questioned with a puzzled expression.
"I could, but fighting her would draw too much unwanted attention." Itachi replied.
Suddenly the alley they were in got surrounded by a barrier. "What the?" Bikou questioned in a slight shock and confused expression.
"Where did this barrier come from? Nya." Kuroka questioned and then felt the source of the power. "She followed us!"
"Grayfia Lucifuge." Itachi turned around to face the mighty silver haired queen.
"That voice, Itachi Hyoudou, or perhaps it's more fitting to call you Itachi Uchiha now." Grayfia sent Itachi a cold stare.
"Damn, looks like we have no choice but to fight!" Bikou swung his staff above his head with a slight nervous grin.
"Stay back, your methods of fighting are way to noticeable." Itachi stepped in front of his two companions.
"The New Monkey King Bikou, and the Underworlds most wanted criminal Kuroka. I will capture all three of you here and now." Grayfia let out a ton of magic pressure.
"My way however, if far more efficient than these two." Itachi narrowed his sharingan at Grayfia whom avoided Itachi's eyes. "I see that you have learned from the history books of the sharingans power. However, I have powers you can't find in any book." Itachi pointed his finger at the queen.
Grayfia narrowed her eyes as she formed a magic circle in front of her that sent a barrage fire of large ice crystals. Itachi had kunai knifes falling into his hands from his cloak and threw them at the ice crystals, the kunai knifes had paper bomb tags attached to them that once they connected with the ice crystals it created an explosion.
"I have you now." Grayfia said as magic circles formed around Itachi. "Sirzechs-sama gave me an order, if I were to ever encounter you I would capture you alive. Now, freeze." Grayfia directed her hand at Itachi and suddenly ice started to grow around his legs and work its way up to his body.
Itachi however, remained calm when suddenly the ice around him began to melt. "Hn." Itachi smirked a little.
"What? But how?" Grayfia questioned, when suddenly out from the walls of the buildings in the alley around them, walked out Itachi's like ghosts passing through walls. "Clones?" Grayfia formed several magic circles that shoot out ice needles that pierced the Itachi's that exited from the walls. The Itachi's floated in midair when suddenly they all turned into a murder of crows that spread across the area. The Itachi in front of her suddenly also bursted into a murder of crows. "An illusion? But how? I didn't even look him in the eyes."
The murder of crows gathered into Itachi in the air above Grayfia. "Your knowledge of the sharingan may be useful. But these eyes are not all I need to cast genjutsu. All I need is a single finger."
"Back then, huh?" Grayfia narrowed her eyes, she then took in a deep breath and bursted her power out.
The space around them began to shake. "She's trying to break free. Hn, impressive Grayfia-san, as expected of the strongest queen. However…" Itachi raised his index finger and middle finger on his right hand as Grayfia's body got stabbed all over with kunai knifes.
"Ugh!" Grayfia grunted a little in pain. "It's just… an illusion… nothing more…!"
"Telling yourself that it's just an illusion will do you little good, pain is still pain no matter how you look at it." Itachi said as several crows flew towards Grayfia. The crows then suddenly turned into shuriken.
"Hngh!" Grayfia bursted out so much power that the space around her cracked. She looked in front of her and saw Itachi, Kuroka and Bikou not having moved an inch since the beginning of the fight.
"She broke free." Itachi narrowed his eyes. 'Please stay down, I don't want to hurt you.' Itachi thought.
Grayfia panted a little and stared at the trio in front of her. "It's not over yet." Grayfia formed a large magic circle in front of her that sent out a large ice crystal. Itachi then formed some hand seals.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a large ball of fire that collided with the ice crystal. The smoke from the fire ball cleared as the ice from Grayfia turned into a puddle of water. "Hn." Itachi had three kunai knifes fall into his right hand from his cloak's sleeve.
Grayfia widened her eyes and formed a barrier of magic circles around her, as the puddle of water turned into water drills and crashed into the barrier around her. 'I couldn't even see the hand seals. Luckily I managed to spot the water moving just in time to realize he was up to something.' Grayfia thought. Once the water drills vanished Grayfia leaped back and shoot out multiple ice needles from a magic circle.
Itachi began to throw multiple kunai knifes and shuriken at the ice needles deflecting all of them. The stalemate of shuriken and ice needles continued and several ice needles and shurikens were stabbed on the ground and the walls around them. They then leaped at each other and Itachi grabbed onto Grayfia's right wrist and Grayfia grabbed Itachi's right wrist. Then from behind Itachi leaped up another Itachi holding three kunai knifes in his right hand.
'Even after all that he was able to wave the signs for a clone?' Grayfia widened her eyes as Itachi threw the three kunai knifes at Grayfia.
Grayfia then focused her magic power to create a magic circle to block the kunai knifes. The magic circle the shoot an ice spike through the Itachi holding her wrist and that Itachi vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Let's end this little game, shall we?" Itachi charged at Grayfia, Grayfia got into fighting stance wh en suddenly Itachi whom was in front of Grayfia vanished in a murder of crows. Grayfia widened her eyes in shock when out from the murder of crows was another Itachi whom looked Grayfia in the eyes with his sharingan. "It's over." The sharingan morphed into the mangekyou.
Tsukuyomi
The space around Grayfia then suddenly turned black and white as her body was tied up with chains. "Welcome to my world, in here I control everything." Hundreds of Itachi's where gathered around her.
"This illusion, it's what you used on Raiser and Issei." Grayfia gritted her teeth.
"Yes, although it was Itachi Hyoudou whom used it against Raiser. And since he didn't use it to its full potential all that immortal bird suffered was some mental trauma, but I on the other hand know how to use this perfectly. By the time, I'm finished with you, you will either fall into a coma or die." The Itachi's suddenly all had katana swords in their hands and they all proceeded to stab Grayfia. "In the world of Tsukuyomi. Time and space, even physical matter, I control them all. For the next 72 hours, you will feel nothing but pain."
"Argh!" Grayfia screamed in pain as the stabbing continued for hours and days.
In the real world, Grayfia fell to her knees panting. "Wh-What are you here for? What do you seek? Is it Rias ojou-sama, or is it Issei Hyoudou?"
"No, we seek the Hell Cat. And something your kind has kept hidden from my people." Itachi replied as his eyes turned back into normal sharingan.
'The scroll, and Koneko, huh.' Grayfia thought before she fell to the ground, unconscious.
"So, what? Now we finish her off?" Kuroka asked.
"…"
"Halt!" Several guards ran up towards them with trident spears and gathered around Grayfia to protect her. "Step back! We will not allow you to kill Grayfia-sama!"
"Heh, like these small fries are any match for us." Kuroka smirked.
"Let's take them out!" Bikou readied his staff.
"Bikou, Kuroka stop it. We didn't come here to start a war, let's leave we have more important things at hand." Itachi said and the two stood down.
"Heh, whatever these guys wouldn't have been that much fun anyway." Bikou slammed his staff to the ground. "Where to?"
"Where you suggested we teleported to in the first place, there's no point in the original plan now anyway." Itachi replied.
"You got it." Bikou said and a black portal formed beneath them and they vanished.
Inside the hotel
In a dark corner inside the hotel formed a black portal and out of it came Bikou, Kuroka and Itachi. "Now what? Nya." Kuroka questioned.
"First, we need to find an isolated location away from everyone. From there you can let Shirone know your presence and she will come to you. In the meantime…" Itachi said as he made two shadow clones of himself. "Spread out." The two clones formed a hand sign and they all transformed, one of them turned into an old butler and the second one turned into a maid that resembled a female version of himself, with a surprisingly large bust.
"Umm, why does that maid version of you, have big boobs?" Bikou questioned.
"More importantly, why did you have him transform into a maid? Nya." Kuroka questioned.
"Well for one thing they will notice less if there is a mix extra of the staff, and as for the breasts… from my experience most devil females seem to have large breasts." Itachi replied and they both stared at him with a sweat drop. "… Is this not the case?"
"No, no, it's mostly true." Bikou uttered.
"Yeah… whatever let's just get going." Kuroka said and the two clones leaped away like shadows, and Itachi, Bikou, Kuroka leaped away also.
With maid Itachi
'I hope I don't resemble myself too much, I would hate to run into anyone I know looking like this.' Maid fem Itachi thought and looked around to get a good view of security.
"Miss, how come you don't have any beverages to serve the guests." A butler said and handed Itachi a sliver tray with different drinks.
"Umm, I'm sorry I just finished serving and was about to get more beverages." Itachi apologized in a feminine voice, and slightly bowing his/her head. 'Sirzechs said that he would hide that scroll somewhere around on the top floor.' Itachi walked past an elevator when suddenly he heard a ring coming from it and out exited. 'Oh, no…' Out of the elevator came Rias and the others. The girls including Gasper dressed in western dresses. Itachi kept a normal expression up and slowly turned around.
"Excuse me, maid-san. Could you give me a drink?" Rias requested not seeming to recognize him/her.
"Umm, yes Rias Ojou-sama. Here you go." Maid fem Itachi handed Rias a drink that was juice, at least he hoped it was.
"Thank you." Rias took a sip. "Apple juice, delicious."
'Thank goodness.' Itachi thought. "Would you like some as well?" Itachi asked in the feminine voice.
"Thank you." Akeno took one and the others said thanks as well and took one as well.
But something that really disturbed Itachi now, was looks Issei was sending him, and glancing at maid fem Itachi's large bust. 'Oh, dear God no…' Itachi felt like he was getting a little sick. What turned out to be even worse was that they were going the same way. And Issei seemed to try and stay a little close.
"Have I seen you before? You look familiar?" Rias questioned.
"Umm, I don't think so Rias Ojou-sama." Maid fem Itachi replied.
"Hmm, what's your name?" Rias asked.
"Oh! Umm, I'm Yuki Mikoto." Itachi replied with a cute smile using his old self's late mother's name.
"May I call you Mikoto-chan?" Rias asked.
"I-I would be honored, Rias Ojou-sama." Itachi turned towards them and bowed politely. "W-Well I will be going now…"
"Oh, well see you around perhaps, Mikoto-chan." Rias said with a cute smile that Itachi has missed so much.
"Y-Yes, perhaps…"
"Whoah!" Issei slipped on the carpet and fell face down between Mikoto's breasts. "I-I'm uhh, so soft- No wait, I mean-"
Itachi aka Mikoto slammed the silver tray into Issei's face while twitching her eyes. "Please sir, be more careful."
"Y-Yes…" Issei uttered.
Rias sighed. "Sorry, he's quite a pervert."
"He slipped, it's no big deal." Mikoto replied and waved before she left. She then walked into a corner. "I think I'm going to be sick…" Mikoto said in Itachi's voice.
With butler Itachi
Butler Itachi was walking around a gorgeous hall. On this incredible large floor was a crowd of devils and Butler Itachi like many other butlers and maids were serving the quests delicious food. The ceiling was covered by a huge chandelier.
"Ohhh!" Several let out breaths of admiration, Itachi looked in the direction everyone else were looking and spotted Rias and her peerage.
'That's where the maid me went, I wonder if he/she is okay.' Butler Itachi thought. He then took a good look at Rias and Akeno. 'They sure look beautiful, shame that I can't celebrate with them. I truly miss all of them.'
"Princess Rias. You've become more and more beautiful…"
"Sirzechs-sama must also be proud."
'Speaking of Sirzechs, where is he?' Itachi thought and began looking around. Itachi walked around the room until he arrived at a corner where a guard was talking to Sirzechs.
"What? Grayfia's unconscious? What happened?!" Sirzechs demanded in an extreme serious tone and he even grabbed the guard by the collar.
"S-She fought against a man in a mask wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Sh-She said that she would deal with him on her own… by the time we got there she was on the ground." The guard replied nervously.
"A mask and a black cloak with red clouds on it?" Sirzechs questioned and the guard nodded. 'I see, Itachi-kun.' Sirzechs thought and released the guard from his grip. "Make sure she gets the best treatment, I will see to her myself later hopefully with someone that can help her."
"Very well, sir!" The guard bowed and left.
Sirzechs walked up to a wall and placed his back up against it and let out as sigh. "Was that really necessary?" Sirzechs asked as old man butler Itachi stood on the other side.
"She just wouldn't give up, I couldn't risk dragging things out. But don't worry, Asia should be able to wake her up." Itachi replied.
"I see, well that's good at least… You didn't beat her too, badly did you?" Sirzechs asked.
"I went as easy as I could with the Tsukuyomi, so that it was just enough to knock her out. She's quite the though woman." Itachi replied.
"Heh, you got that right. You better hope you don't met her again too soon, she can hold quite the grudge." Sirzechs let out a small chuckle. "Is it almost time?"
"Yes, once Koneko leaves to find Kuroka it will begin. I will make sure that someone follows after her so that she will have some help." Itachi said and transformed back into himself. "Go easy on me." Itachi said before he vanished like a shadow and appeared on the large chandelier.
"Guess I will get Grayfia the help she needs first." Sirzechs approached Rias and her peerage.
"Onii-sama?" Rias questioned.
"Sirzechs-sama, it's great to see you again." Issei bowed.
"Greetings, Rias-chan, Issei-kun, everyone. I would like to borrow Asia-chan for a moment." Sirzechs said with a serious expression that gave the others a puzzled expression.
"Why? What's going on?" Rias questioned.
"I need her to heal Grayfia, she was found unconscious in an alley and seems to be in some sort of coma. I was hoping Asia-chan could try and wake her up." Sirzechs said and everyone gained a shocked expression.
"Grayfia?! What happened to her?!" Rias questioned in shock.
"She seems to have fought someone before she got knocked out. Anyway, Asia-chan would you please help her?" Sirzechs turned to the former nun.
"O-Of course!" Asia replied.
"This guard will escort you to her," Sirzechs said as a guard walked up to them. "the rest of you stay here at the party we don't want to alarm anyone." Sirzechs said and the others nodded.
Itachi sat on the chandelier looking down on the others, he then noticed Koneko sneaking away. Itachi took a small rock from his pocket and threw it at the floor that made Issei look in Koneko's direction, and Rias and Xenovia even looked there as well. The three followed after the short little white haired devil as she went down in an elevator.
"Where is she going?" Issei questioned.
"I don't know, but I don't have a good feeling about this." Rias replied.
"Should we go after her?" Xenovia questioned.
"Yeah, let's go, Koneko-chan seemed troubled so we should help her out with whatever it is." Issei said and they went down the elevator after Koneko.
"The original is down there with Kuroka and Bikou, knowing that I doubt they will be in any deadly danger." Itachi muttered he then looked down and let out a deep breath. "It's time." Itachi leaped down and crashed into the center of the room sending a lot of dust around the room as he created a small crater.
"What was that?!"
"Look someone's in the center of the smoke!"
"What the-" Kiba uttered and readied a sword.
"What's going on, buchou-" Akeno turned around and didn't see Rias, Issei, Koneko or Xenovia. "Where did they go?"
"Focus on what's going on in front of us! This could be whoever attacked Grayfia-san." Kiba said and they all turned their attention towards the figure in the smoke. Once the smoke cleared it revealed a masked man wearing a black cloak decorated with red clouds. And from his masks eyeholes came a red glow.
"Wait, that cloak, those glowing red eyes, it can't be…" Akeno widened her eyes as she recalled the description Azazel gave them about the man whom attacked the church where Asia was raised. "… I-Itachi-kun…" When those words came out from Akeno's mouth Kiba and Gasper let out a gasp.
"Itachi-senpai… is that you?" Kiba questioned, shaking.
"Greetings, Akeno-san, Kiba-san, Gasper-san, it's been awhile." Itachi spoke as his sharingan glowed red. Itachi leaped up dodging a wave of water that came from Sona whom had Saji next to her. "Sona-san, Saji-san, greetings to you as well."
Kiba leaped at Itachi with his sword raised, Itachi raised his hand and in a puff of smoke came a gunbai that blocked Kiba's sword. "New toy?" Kiba questioned trying to push his sword further but to no avail.
"I got this from a church." Itachi replied and pushed Kiba back.
"That's from Asia-chan's church?" Kiba questioned as his bangs covered his eyes.
"Yes, what of it?" Itachi questioned in an emotionless tone.
Kiba gritted his teeth and clenched his grip on his sword. "You dare use senpai's body to commit such a genocide, you will pay." Kiba leaped at Itachi once more. Itachi blocked Kiba's sword with the gunbai and kicked Kiba back. "Sword Birth!" Kiba slammed his palm on the floor and several swords rose from the floor around Itachi stabbing through his arms and legs. "Got you!" Kiba said when suddenly Itachi vanished in a murder of crows.
"Your too slow on the uptake." Itachi appeared behind the prince charming and kicked him in the back sending him crashing into a wall. "Hn?" Itachi was surrounded by a barrier of magic circles as he got blasted with a wave of lighting.
Akeno was in her shrine maid outfit with tears forming in her eyes. Once the smoke cleared in Itachi's place was a burned log. "What the?" Akeno quickly turned around and blocked a strike from Itachi's gunbai with a magic circle. "Did you attack Grayfia?!"
"…"
"Answer me!" Akeno demanded.
"She got in the way, she's lucky I didn't kill her." Itachi said coldly, suddenly he turned to the side and blocked a wave of destruction with the gunbai, but the impact send Itachi skidding back.
"If he was though enough to take on Grayfia, I'm the one who should fight him. Everyone just stay back!" Sirzechs flared up in an intense aura.
"I'm curious what the legendary Sirzechs Lucifer is capable off. Shame that you won't use your full power thinking about how it may kill some guests at the party." Itachi swung the gunabi over his head and slammed the tip of it in the ground. "Well, I can't use my full power either so I guess that's fair." Sirzechs sent another destruction wave at Itachi whom performed a few hand signs and then inhaled his breath.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a large ball of fire that collided with the destruction wave sending a massive shockwave around the hotel. From the collision arouse a lot of smoke, Sirzechs kept a calm and calculated expression when suddenly Itachi leaped out from the smoke and swung his leg into Sirzechs's right cheek sending the Maou skidding to the side a little. Itachi then swung the gunbai sending a small tornado towards Sirzechs, Sirzechs brought his arms in an x-formation and when the tornado hit him it sent him flying back.
Sirzechs narrowed his eyes at Itachi and flicked his fingers creating several destruction spheres around him. Itachi performed a set of hand seals as Sirzechs sent the destruction sphere's flying towards him.
Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!
Itachi spitted out several balls of fire that took the shape of a dragon's head, they crashed into the destruction sphere's creating several explosions. Itachi and Sirzechs leaped at each other as the explosions continued, Itachi grabbed Sirzechs's left wrist and Sirzechs grabbed Itachi's left wrist. And they both sent out a tremendous amount of pressure that shook the room, as everyone stared at the battle in awe while cheering for Sirzechs.
Itachi then released his hand from Sirzechs wrist and grabbed onto his hand instead. And then he forced Sirzechs left hand to perform with Itachi's right hand the horse seal, then the tiger seal, then serpent, ram, monkey, boar, horse again, and tiger. Sirzechs widened his eyes in shock as Itachi inhaled his breath.
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi directly spitted a large ball of fire in Sirzechs' face. Sirzechs leaped out from the burning inferno with his cloak slightly burned. "Impressive." Sirzechs muttered.
"Hn?" Itachi questioned when suddenly him and Sirzechs were surrounded by an ice dome separating them from the guests.
"Magical Levi-chan! Has arrived!" Serafall appeared next to Sirzechs in her magical girl outfit and gave a wink. "Need any help, Sirzechs-chan?" Serafall asked in a playful tone.
"Heh, maybe a little, it's a little frustrating trying to fight him while holding back." Sirzechs let out a light chuckle.
"Well, today is the day we bring back Itachi-chan!" Serafall said and looked at Itachi with a serious expression. "Rias-chan has been so sad lately after all."
"One problem though." Sirzechs said.
"What?" Serafall questioned.
"This is not the real Itachi, it's just a clone." Sirzechs replied and Serafall gasped a little in shock and Akeno, Kiba, and Gasper along with Sona and Saji whom were standing outside of the ice dome widened their eyes in shock when they heard what they said.
"Then, where is the original?" Serafall questioned.
"I don't know." Sirzechs turned to the Itachi clone in front of them. "Where is the original?"
"Hmm, at the moment he should be fighting Issei and your little sister." Itachi informed and everyone widened their eyes in shock.
"Where are they?!" Akeno slammed her hands on the ice dome, while looking at Itachi.
"Who knows?" Itachi replied emotionlessly.
"Show the cameras around the hotel, now!" Sirzechs demanded and several images appeared on hologram screens, and one image showed Issei, Rias, Koneko, Xenovia standing in front of an Itachi and a black-haired woman wearing a black kimono with cat ears on the top of her head, and two cat tails sticking out from her back, and a man in Chinese armor battling Tannin in the air. "This is the forest in the back of the hotel."
"Let's go!" Akeno said and Kiba and Gasper nodded and Sona and Saji followed them towards the elevator. But suddenly a barrier of some kind formed around the room. "What's happening?!"
"Sealing tags, I placed them around here before the battle. No one is getting out from this room unless you defeat me." Itachi replied from the inside of the ice dome with Sirzechs and Serafall. "I wonder will you be able to beat me before the original takes care of them?"
Sirzechs and Serafall let out a tremendous amount of pressure. "Even though we can't use our full power, a mere clone with only some of the originals full power won't be a match for the two of us." Sirzechs said.
"You won't even be a match for one of us." Serafall said.
"I don't need to match you in power, nor do I need to beat you. I just need to stall you." Itachi said as his sharingan morphed into Mangekyou.
A little earlier, with Issei, Rias and Xenovia
After having arrived to the bottom they exited the elevator, and Rias called forth her familiar to find Koneko. They found out that she had entered the forest and they rushed in after her. They hid in the shadow of a tree as they spotted Koneko looking around like she was looking for something or someone.
"It's been a while, hasn't it? Nya." Kuroka whom was on a tree branch.
"You!" Koneko's whole body shook in violent surprise.
"Hello, Shirone. It's me, your onee-chan. Nya." Kuroka said in a playful tone while moving her hand like a kitty's paw.
"Kuroka-neesama…" Koneko uttered and Issei looked shocked. "Nee-sama. What is this about?" Koneko asked with anger in her voice.
Kuroka just smiled. "Don't make such a scary face. I just had some minor business to take care of. I heard that the devils were holding a big party here, you know? that's why I was a little interested. Nya."
A laughter was heard and out from the shadows came Bikou. "Could it be that you're a member of the Gremory group?" Bikou looked at Koneko and then averted his gaze at the spot where Issei, Rias and Xenovia were hiding. "Even if you erase your presence, it's useless. With people like me and Kuroka who know senjutsu, we can approximately detect you with just a slight variation in the flow of your spirit."
Itachi was on the other side of the tree where Kuroka was, standing on a branch while hiding in the shadows. He looked down and saw Issei, Rias and Xenovia stepping out from the shadows, and Koneko whom looked surprised to see them.
"Issei-senpai, Buchou, Xenovia-senpai." Koneko uttered.
"Yo, damn monkey-san. Is Vali doing well?" Issei asked Bikou.
Bikou let out a small laugh. "Pretty much. As for you… Heh, so you've become a little stronger, huh?" Bikou said and Issei looked a little confused as to how he knew that. "Didn't I tell you? I also have an interest in senjutsu, and I know the flow of your spirit to a degree. The volume of aura that covers you has risen since we last met. But it's still not enough, right, Itachi." Bikou turned to Itachi's direction and Issei, Rias, Xenovia and Koneko widened their eyes when they heard that name. Itachi leaped down from the tree branch and faced his little brother and the others.
Issei couldn't tell first because of the mask, but when he saw the eyes he was certain. That was Itachi. "Nii-san…" Issei spoke.
"Itachi…" Rias uttered while shaking a little, as she had an image of a smiling Itachi in her mind that was now replaced by what she saw in front of her.
"It's been a while, Rias-san, Xenovia-san, Koneko-san, Hyoudou Issei." Itachi spoke saying the last name with a slight cold tone.
Issei clenched his fist. "First, answer me this. Did you really attack Asia's church?!"
"… I did, I killed everyone there except for one." Itachi replied motionlessly with no hint of regret in his voice, although he still felt regret for what he had done.
"You use my brothers body… to kill… to harm our friends… I will never forgive you!" Issei shouted and activated his Boosted Gear.
"…" Itachi remained silent. 'It's not time yet, Issei.' Itachi thought.
"I will beat you, and bring my brother back! That's what I've trained for!" Issei declared as his Boosted Gear let out a green light.
Boost!
"You can't beat me as you are now, after all even Grayfia-san was no match for me." Itachi said and they widened their eyes further.
"Y-You did that to Grayfia?" Rias questioned while shaking.
"You will need our help, Issei." Xenovia said and summoned Durandal. "We have trained to after all."
"No matter how many you are, the result will be the same." Itachi said in a motionless tone, not even faced by any of this.
"Why are you even here? Is this a terrorist attack?!" Issei questioned.
"Well not from us, but for him it might be different." Bikou looked over at Itachi. "Me and Kuroka are off-duty right now. Kuroka was the one who suggested visiting the devils' party. And since she wouldn't likely return easily, I came along with her too. But there was something Kuroka wanted of course." Bikou smirked and then looked back at Itachi. "He would probably have come here without us, he has something he wants from this hotel."
"I'm simply retrieving what belongs to the Shinobi Faction." Itachi spoke.
"What is it that you want?" Issei questioned.
"What I seek is none of your concern." Itachi bluntly replied.
"So, that's the breast loving Red Dragon Emperor?" Kuroka asked looking at Issei.
"That's right." Itachi replied.
"Anyway, we're leaving and I'll take Shirone with me. Nya." Kuroka said with a wide smile and narrowed eyes. Koneko's tiny little body began to shake in fear.
Issei stepped in front of Koneko with Xenovia beside him, while Rias went and hugged Koneko gently stroking her hair. "This girl is an important friend among us of the Gremory group. I won't allow you to take her away. In fact, the only one who's getting taken with someone is him!" Issei pointed at Itachi.
Bikou and Kuroka let out a laugh. "No, no, that's very brave of you, but do you really intend to make me and Kuroka your opponents? This time, we'll leave immediately once we take this girl, so it'll be fine for you, right?" Bikou said.
Rias then stepped forward with an angered expression. "This child is my servant. I won't let you put even a single finger on her."
"Ara, ara, what are you saying nya? She's my little sister. I have the right to love her. A high-class devil like you doesn't have that privilege." Kuroka glared at Rias whom returned the glare as the atmosphere changed. "Since you're so troublesome, I'll kill you. Nya." Kuroka said as it felt like they entered a new space and that the air changed.
"Kuroka, so you learned not only senjutsu, youjutsu and devil magic, but also the skill to control space?" Rias said making a sour face.
"I didn't go as far as learning how to control time, but I have fairly picked up how to control space. If I use the essentials of barrier techniques, it's relatively easy, after all. I covered the entire forest with a barrier and isolated it from the outside world. Nya. That's why even if we do flashy things here, it won't leak outside and devils outside won't come in. You're going to get pleasantly killed here by us and say goodbye. Nya." Kuroka said.
Suddenly a large roaring voice was heard. "When I received information that Miss Rias, Issei, and Xenovia had come to this forest and I quickly came to look, to think I would be sealed in by a barrier…" A large dark purple western dragon with long golden horns, wearing a loin cloth, and with devil like wings appeared in the sky.
"Tannin-ossan!" Issei said.
"What an ominous aura. These visitors aren't suitable for this party."
Bikou looked at the dragon in delight. "Oh, oh, oh! If it isn't the former Dragon King Blaze Meteor Dragon Tannin! So, you came! This is already a big problem, Kuroka, Itachi! We have no choice but to fight now!" Bikou smirked. "Kintoun!" A golden cloud appeared at Bikou's feet and he then flew off into the sky to battle Tannin. "Nyoi-Bo!" A long staff appeared in Bikou's hand. "Exteeeeeend! Nyoi-Bo!" The staff extended and tried to hit Tannin.
As the two battled in the air Itachi kept his focus on what was in front of him. "Nee-sama. I'll go with you. So, please overlook these people." Koneko said.
"What are you saying-" Issei spoke.
"What are you saying?! Koneko! You're a servant of my group! I won't allow you to do as you please!" Rias tightly embraced Koneko.
Koneko shook her head. "It's no good. I understand best nee-sama's power. Nee-sama's power rivals that of an ultimate-class devil. For Buchou, Xenovia-senpai, and Issei-senpai… Even with the power of a former Dragon King, I don't think you can capture my sister who excels in both genjutsu and senjutsu…"
"No, even so, I absolutely won't hand you over to that person's side! To this nekomata that didn't try to help you!" Rias spoke in anger and Kuroka just smiled.
"It's because a youkai cannot help another youkai. However, this time, I simply want Shirone because I want another piece under my control. I can understand Shirone's power better than the likes of you, you know?"
Koneko shook her head. "No… I don't want that kind of power… I don't need a power that brings misfortune to people like that…" Koneko trembled in fear.
"Pathetic." Itachi spoke.
"What?" Kuroka questioned and everyone looked at him.
"You don't need a weakling like her, look at her trembling in fear. I doubt Vali or Ophis-ojousama will accept a weak pathetic runt like her. Especially when Khaos Brigade wants power, we won't accept someone who's afraid of their own power." Itachi spoke coldly.
"Shut up!" Issei shouted. "Don't speak to Koneko-chan like that! You power hungry maniac!"
"Hn."
"That's it! I challenge you to a fight! If I win I get nii-san back!" Issei declared.
"Go away, I have no interest in you." Itachi said coldly.
Issei clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. "Then fucking get interested!"
Boost! Boost! Boost!
Issei charged at Itachi with his fist raised. Itachi pushed Issei's arm to the side and kicked him flying back. "Not done yet!" A thin mist then appeared bringing Rias to her knees along with Koneko and Xenovia whom was right next to Issei. "Buchou!" Issei said when he noticed that the green jewel on his Boosted Gear turned dark.
"Poison mist, huh?" Itachi said motionlessly and leaped up on the tree branch next to Kuroka.
"Partner, the Sacred Gear won't move." Ddraig said from Issei's gauntlet.
"What do you mean Ddraig?!"
"The Sacred Gear has entered an ambiguous state."
"Ambiguous?! Why has it become like that?!"
"With the training, you reached a crossroad. I think the Sacred Gear will change with one more push, but I don't know whether that change will be a normal power-up, or Balance Breaker."
"So, is both the normal power-up and Balance Breaker good?" Issei asked.
"Yeah. If it does a normal power-up, you may be able to achieve victory in a flash, but if a dramatic change isn't born inside you, you won't be able to attain Balance Breaker. But remember this. Right now, you only have a chance to attain Balance Breaker. The rest depends on you."
"Even if you tell me that, what am I supposed to do?! I don't know what to do even if you suddenly say that I need to go through a dramatic change! What do I do to attain Balance Breaker?! Hey, Ddraig. Is it bad if I go for the power-up and leave Balance Breaker for next time?" Issei questioned.
"You won't be able to grasp this state again whenever you want. It may be months or years before the chance comes again. Besides, I don't see how you can beat your brother without the Balance Breaker." Ddraig responded.
"Then I need to take this important chance! But I don't know how! Dammit!" Issei cursed.
"Hmph, typical your power seems to only increase by some perverted act." Itachi mocked but was really trying to give a hint.
"That's it! Xenovia!" Issei turned to the former exorcist whom was the closest one he could reach.
"Yes?"
"Please let me poke your breasts!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Please, it would help me get the power!" Issei begged while everyone was speechless while Itachi was sweat dropping.
"Right!" Xenovia said without any hesitation and pulled down the top of her dress.
"Th-Thank you very much!" Issei said as Xenovia's breasts were revealed with their pink nipples sticking out and as Issei's finger approached them, he let out a gulp. "Umm, which one do I poke first?!"
Itachi twitched his eyes a little while Kuroka had a puzzled expression. "Is this some kind of strategy?" Kuroka questioned looking at Itachi.
"No, it's not. It's just a moron being a moron." Itachi sighed.
"Why not just poke both?" Xenovia questioned with a deadpan expression not seeming embarrassed by her current situation.
"Wh-What a ground-breaking idea! Okay, here I go!" Issei poked his finger at Xenovia's nipples pushing them in feeling her elasticity and softness and feel of her skin. Issei has a small nosebleed from this as his finger were buried in Xenovia's breasts whom had a small blush and let out small moans.
"You attained it. You really managed to attain it!" Ddraig laughed.
Issei's Boosted Gear let out a massive green light. "Oh, yeah!"
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!
"You're the worst:" Koneko commented while Rias sighed.
"Well that's one way to enter it I guess" Itachi said narrowing his eyes as Issei in his Balance Breaker was surrounded by a massive red aura. "Kuroka, stay out of this one. He wants to fight me, then so be it."
"Nya. And here I was hoping to have some fun." Kuroka pouted a little and the mist vanished.
"Come on then." Itachi spoke as he faced Issei.
"Fine by me!" Issei sent out so much pressure that the ground beneath him turned into a crater.
"Partner, congratulations. But, you're terrible. I'm going to genuinely cry soon." Ddraig spoke.
"Yeah, thank you. And sorry for being perverted! So, how is my state?" Issei asked and glared at Itachi.
"You can maintain Balance Breaker for thirty minutes. The results of your training have come out. For the first Balance Breaker state of the weak you, that's a fairly good time limit."
"How many times can I do my max doubling?"
"I think that each time will be used up within five minutes if you release it at the max. you can do it five times at the most. When you include your other movements, your sixth time will be the same as nothing, it's the same when you use the transfer ability too."
"Alright! Let's test this out!" Issei charged at Itachi once he appeared in front of Itachi he punched him in the gut, but to Issei's surprise Itachi exploded in a fiery explosion. Issei leaped out from the explosion seemingly unharmed.
"I see, so that's your power." Itachi appeared behind Issei and kicked him in the back sending him crashing into the tree where Kuroka was and the tree broke in half.
"Nya! Hey watch it!" Kuroka scolded and leaped away from the battle.
Issei vanished at high speed and appeared in front of Itachi with his fist raised. Itachi dodged the punch and grabbed onto Issei's arm and threw him to the side. "Hn."
Fire Style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted out a massive ball of fire towards Issei, Issei stretched his hand out towards the fire ball and sent a red blast from his hand that created a massive explosion clearing out most of the forest around them, Rias, Xenovia and Koneko formed a barrier around them to shield themselves from the explosion and suddenly the barrier around them exploded.
Issei flew to the side and Itachi kept his eyes on Issei. 'His speed has increased.' Itachi thought and then ducked as Issei appeared behind him and threw a punch, Itachi then swing his leg into Issei's gut sending him skidding back a few steps.
With Sirzechs and Serafall
The two Maous were slightly bruised and so was Itachi as his Akatsuki cloak was slightly torn. Serafall directed her magical girl staff at Itachi and the ice dome around them grew spikes that stabbed into Itachi, whom turned into a murder of crows. The crows gathered into Itachi behind Sirzechs whom swung his fist back at Itachi, with the fist covered in destruction magic. Itachi blocked it with the gunbai as the destruction magic got absorbed.
"Uchiha reflection!" Itachi said and Sirzechs' power was reflected back at him sending him skidding back a few steps.
Serafall then appeared behind Itachi and blasted him with a fire shot. Suddenly a red spectral ribcage formed around Itachi and blocked the fire shot. "Playtime is over." Itachi leaped back as the spectral ribcage grew into a spectral skeleton that grew flesh turning into a spectral humanoid.
Both Sirzechs and Serafall blasted Itachi with the best amount of their power they could use so that the hotel won't get destroyed. Itachi's susano'o then formed a shield on one of its four arms and the attack was reflected back at the Maou duo. The susano'o swung its fist at Sirzechs and Serafall that leaped back.
"That shield, it just reflected our attack!" Serafall said as her face was in serious battle mode.
"There's no mistake about it, it's the Yata Mirror." Sirzechs said and Serafall widened her eyes in shock.
"The Yata Mirror? But that shield's been lost since the Shinobi world still existed." Serafall said.
"Guess we now know why." Sirzechs said and narrowed his eyes at Itachi.
"You don't think he has that sword as well, do you?" Serafall questioned.
"If he does we're in serious trouble." Sirzechs said but then noticed that Itachi was panting. "Looks like this clone is running out of energy."
"Perfect, then let's take him out." Serafall said as it looked like the susano'o around Itachi was about to fade.
'I'm running low on energy, soon I will vanish.' Itachi thought and smiled beneath his ANBU mask. 'Thank you, Sirzechs-san.' The susano'o vanished and Serafall destroyed the ice dome now as Itachi's clone had so little energy he wouldn't be much of a threat to the guests. "I have one more move." Itachi swung the gunabi creating a massive tornado, he then spitted out a wave of fire that merged with the tornado creating a blazing whirlwind. The gunbai then vanished in a puff of smoke. 'This should make it look believable, I'm confident that Serafall can freeze this.' Itachi thought as Serafall swung her arm to the side and the blazing tornado turned into a pile of ice. "Guess I'm done here." Itachi vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Phew. Now to get to the real one!" Serafall declared with a cute smile.
With Itachi and Issei at the forest
Play: Numb by Linkin Park
Itachi dodged a blast from Issei that flew further into the forest and the next moment, there was a red flary explosion in the distance and the blast was far enough to reach them. "Wow that was intense." Issei said in awe at his own power.
"Guess I can use this now." Itachi summoned the gunbai in his right hand.
"With my new power! I will break that gunbai!" Issei charged at Itachi with his right fist gathering a lot of energy.
"Wait, partner! Something's not right with that gunbai!" Ddraig warned but it was too late.
Itachi blocked Issei's punch with the gunabi and absorbed the energy from Issei's fist. "Uchiha reflection." The power of the punch reflected back at Issei sending him flying back with some of his armor torn. "Looks like Sirzechs and Serafall has beaten my clone, won't be long before they arrive. Guess I should finish this quickly." Itachi swung the gunabi creating a massive tornado that even reached the height Tannin and Bikou were flying at. Itachi then spitted out a wave of fire that merged with the tornado that now blazed in flames.
Issei gasped in shock. "Damn, I must do something, and quick!"
Boost! Boost! Boost!
Issei flared up in an immense red aura. "Take this!" Issei punched a red sphere of energy sending a massive red wave at the tornado. The collision created a massive explosion. Xenovia appeared behind Itachi and swung Durandal at him, Itachi turned his body around and blocked the strike with his gunbai.
"We're taking senpai back home!" Xenovia declared.
"Weakling, get out of my sight." Itachi pushed Xenovia back. Itachi then turned his attention towards Rias whom looked conflicted as she stood next to Koneko. Itachi then appeared in front of her. "… Hn." Itachi brought out a kunai and was about to stab them. Rias closed her eyes, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw Itachi struggling to stab her, as if something was holding him back.
"Itachi?" Rias questioned as Itachi's right eye was black and his left was still his sharingan.
"R-Rias… it's okay! Attack my body with all you got!... don't worry about me I will be fine! Quick, I can't hold him back much longer!" Itachi said gritting his teeth.
Rias closed her eyes as drops of tears fell from it, and she blasted Itachi with a wave of destruction magic that send him crashing into a tree. "I-I'm sorry… Itachi…"
"It's okay… You've grown stronger Rias…" Itachi said with a warm smile underneath his mask, although Rias couldn't see it, she could tell from his eyes that he was smiling. Then both his eyes returned into sharingan and the smile vanished. "That was unexpected, well that will be the last time I will allow anything like that to happen." Itachi said with a motionless tone.
Issei suddenly shoulder charged Itachi sending him flying to the side. "It's time you give my brother back!"
Itachi stood up and looked over at Issei. "This time, I will achieve supreme power. And I will not let anyone stand in my way!" Itachi perfomed a set of hand seals.
Water Style: Water Shark Bomb!
Itachi formed a shark made of water using a small lake. The shark crashed into Issei and exploded sending him flying back. Itachi then appeared in front of Issei and slammed his fist into his gut, he then kicked Issei in the chest sending him crashing into a rock.
Boost!
Issei let out an even more intense red aura, he charged at Itachi at full speed and threw a punch. Itachi blocked the punch with the gunbai and leaped back as Issei flew after him and threw a series of punches and kicks that Itachi blocked with the gunbai as he leaped backwards from each blow Issei threw and Issei followed. Itachi then jumped high up in the air dodging a blast from Rias. He then turned around in midair and blocked Xenovia's Durandal with the gunbai. Issei then appeared behind him with his fist raised.
"Hn." Itachi quickly reacted and formed the susano'o ribcage with one skeleton arm growing from it that formed into a fist that blocked Issei's punch. Itachi then looked Xenovia in the eyes with his sharingan and she began to look drowsy, and then she fell towards the ground.
"Xenovia-chan!" Issei flew down and caught her bridal style. He then gently placed her on the ground next to Rias and Koneko. Issei then flew back at Itachi.
Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets!
Itachi spitted out small wind waves that looked like bullets, they crashed into Issei creating cracks in his Balance Breaker armor, but the cracks quickly recovered and Issei glared at Itachi. "I refuse to give up!" Issei blasted a red orb of energy at Itachi. Itachi whom was still in midair blocked the blast with his gunbai but the impact sent him flying back, Itachi landed on the ground while he skidded back dragging some of the ground with him. Issei then appeared in front of Itachi whom directed the side of the gunbai at him. "Still haven't learned. Uchiha reflection!" The gunbai then sent back the blast but Issei vanished. "What the?" Itachi questioned when Issei appeared behind him and swung his leg into Itachi, sending him flying into the smoke of the reflected blast.
Itachi landed on his feet feeling like Issei broke a few ribs there, Issei then leaped out from the smoke with his fist raised. Itachi quickly blocked the punch with the gunbai, pushed Issei back and swing the gunbai into his side. "Argh!" Issei coughed up a little blood as he was sent flying to the side.
Boost!
Issei upgraded his fifth and final power up as he flared in an immense red aura. "I will win! I will bring Itachi nii-san back!" Issei screamed from the top of his lungs and once he leaped towards Itachi he left a large crater behind. Issei raised his fist gathering up tons of energy. He vanished at high speed and appeared in front of Itachi whom widened his eyes in slight shock.
Itachi leapt up dodging the punch, when suddenly Issei vanished again and appeared behind Itachi. "Uh!" Itachi widened his eyes as Issei slammed his fist into Itachi's mask shattering it to pieces. Itachi fell to the ground and leaped back with his bangs covering his face. He looked up and they all could see his face.
"Heh, finally I get to see your face!" Issei smirked.
"Destroying my mask means nothing, you're still a loser." Itachi said coldly as his gunbai vanished in a puff of smoke.
Rias stared at Itachi face, the face she hadn't seen for a few months, the face of the man she loved, only that it had that cold expression that gave her chills. She stood up and sent glares at Itachi. "We will defeat you and bring our Itachi back! That's a promise! You hear me?!"
"Heh, if you think you can defeat me you are mistaking. I haven't even showed my full power yet." Itachi smirked.
Rias let out a huge amount of magic power as she flared up in her destruction magic glow. She then gathered a large sphere of destruction magic and blasted it at Itachi. Itachi then formed the spectral skeleton known as susano'o that slapped the sphere to the side, sending it flying into the forest where it exploded in a red glow.
"We're not done yet!" Issei shouted and formed a lot of energy into his right fist and charged at his brother.
Fire Style: Blazing Drill!
Itachi formed a massive fire drill around his right fist, deactivated his susano'o, and charged at Issei. "HHHHIIIIIIYYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Issei let out a war cry and threw his energy punch.
Itachi narrowed his eyes and slammed the fire drill, connecting it with Issei's fist. Fire and red and green energy flared around them like fireworks and sent massive shockwaves around them. "Hn." Itachi increased the size of the fire drill as the flames spread out across the forest.
"Come on! Come on!" Issei pushed himself further trying to push Itachi back. "I have to win! I can't lose this!"
"… Not yet." Itachi said as the fire drill overpowered Issei and send him flying back. 'His grown stronger, but it's still not enough.' Itachi thought.
Issei laid in a crater. "Issei!" Rias and Koneko ran to his side.
"I'm… not… done… yet…" Issei stood up when suddenly his Balance Breaker vanished.
Reset!
Issei fell to the ground as his Sacred Gear vanished as well. "Damn it…!"
"You're nowhere near my level yet, your still just a loser." Itachi hated himself for saying this and doing all of this, but he needed Issei to grow stronger, he needed all of them to grow stronger.
"Buchou! Issei! Koneko! Xenovia!" Akeno shouted and ran towards them with Kiba, Gasper, Sona, Saji, Sirzechs, and Serafall, plus several soldiers. Akeno then widened her eyes when she saw Itachi's face.
"We're leaving. Bikou!" Itachi called and Bikou flew down with his cloud as Tannin quickly followed the monkey brat, Kuroka stood next to Itachi.
"Later, everyone!" Bikou slammed his staff into the ground as a black portal formed underneath them and they vanished.
Later at the hill where they first arrived in the underworld.
Bikou, Kuroka and Itachi leaped out from the portal. "What are we doing?" Bikou questioned.
"Waiting." Itachi replied as a crow suddenly flew towards them and landed on Itachi's shoulder, it had a scroll in its mouth. "Well done." Itachi said and the crow vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Where did that come from? Nya." Kuroka questioned.
"Remember my maid clone? It went to look for this while we were fighting. And now I have what I came here for, send me back home." Itachi said.
"Yeah, yeah, you got it." Bikou opened another portal.
Itachi looked at the hotel in the distance. 'Your growing stronger Issei, keep on doing so and we will go to school together again very soon.' Itachi thought as he vanished through the portal.
That's the end for now!
Boy, that was some reunion! Itachi has now gotten an idea about what level Issei and the others are at, and they will keep growing stronger and then he will test them out.
Oh, and to everyone that asks me why we had Itachi go down this path. Here's the answer. It's because this is the kind of character Itachi is, the kind who will sacrifice his own happiness for the ones he loves. And unlike how he did it in his old life, his getting help from both Sirzechs and Azazel so that he won't be alone in all this and not fail, and his not planning on wanting Issei to kill him or anything like that.
Also, for the scroll he just got what should be in it? A new weapon? A jutsu? Or some knowledge? Some of you have already made suggestions, and some of you haven't. So, far I have gotten mostly weapon suggestions, would be nice to get some other suggestions as well.
Anyway, remember to leave a review!
-Later!
