Mikaela Bastian: Thanks, and I find that just as confusing, I even say in the beginning that he will be different.
Merendinoemiliano: Thanks! Sorry that it took a while to update. Anyway, we might explain it at some point.
Shu Ouma GC: Ehhh, my co-author has discussed something similar with me not sure what we will decide on though.
The Big Pickle: I got it don't worry, I will go over the different suggestions and maybe use some of them here or on one of my other stories.
Vegeta Uchiha: Thanks!
FloweyTheFlower: Since when has any character in Naruto fought ninja-like? Ninja's would normally kill from the shadows and not be spotted, not something like form a giant ball of energy and charge head on. And as for the rinnegan I will just say this if we decide on him getting it eventually we will have a reason for it and why it won't exhaust him as much.
Guest: True but in this fic the world of DxD is the future of the Naruto verse, so everyone has chakra they just don't know how to access it or use it or even know of it. Plus some genjutsu work by the caster pouring their chakra into someone and Itachi's Tsukuyomi affects a person's brain and senses.
Harambe: I checked on the wikia for the novels, it seems Diodora was first, they just changed it in the anime.
brokenstrings001: Read the fucking beginning! It says from there that he won't be the same because he has no memory of it! And his gone through a whole different life! And we have already talked over PM, I just wanted to point this one thing out.
Ak-Jaidyn: Haters gonna hate am I right.
Rangle: Again, read the fucking beginning! I said that he won't be the same because he has no memory of his past life! Which is what helped form Itachi into the person that he is! But since he has a new life, with different experiences it only makes sense that he will have a personality change! It would be strange for a 18 year old whom has never experienced war or mayhem to look so depressed all the time and always be on guard!
Kaler35: Hey I just made a typo, jeesh I will correct it if I ever decide to re-write this story.
Chapter 13: Old-Satan Faction!
The Shinobi Faction had new people living with them, Team Vali and Ophis. Kuroka had just had a shower and was now dressed only in a white bathrobe. "Ahh, that was heavenly. Nya." Kuroka said as she dried her hair with a towel.
"Thanks once again for letting us stay here." Arthur bowed to Fujiwara whom was twitching his eyes slightly as Bikou was hanging from the chandelier like a true monkey.
"Aha, so when are you going to get a new place?" Fujiwara asked as he wanted to get all of them, at least Bikou, out of here as quickly as possible.
"Well… I'm not sure." Arthur replied as everyone seemed to have already made themselves at home. His little sister Le Fay was playing video games with Ophis, Kuroka was sitting on the couch while drinking milk, Bikou was still monkeying around, and Vali had gone to the training room underneath the mansion and made good use of it.
"Man, this place is awesome! Way more awesome than our old place!" Bikou said with a laugh. "We might just move in for good!"
"No, you're not." Fujiwara instantly shut down Bikou's suggestion.
"Well, what's the big deal. We're all a part of the same organization anyway." Jin said as he was leaning back on the couch.
"I don't see a problem either." Hana said as she was sitting next to Jin.
"None here either." Shiro said while reading a book.
"Besides, Ophis is the leader, isn't she? It's not like we can turn her down." Itachi said as he was studying the scroll he found about the Flying Raijin.
"Isn't anyone going to take my side in this?" Fujiwara asked looking a little annoyed.
"Umm, I-I agree with you, F-Fujiwara…" Mako uttered with her hand raised. "It's getting a little too crowded for me…"
"Mako! I knew I could count on you!" Fujiwara said as tears of joy ran down his eyes as he hugged the hooded bug lady whom blushed madly.
"Good for you, Mako-chan." Hana gave a thumb up.
"Hn, so it works like that huh?" Itachi muttered to himself while studying the scroll, he then opened a bag with dango in them and was about to eat it, when suddenly he noticed the Dragon God of Infinity eyeing the sweet treat Itachi was holding while a trail of drool ran down from her lips. Itachi sweat dropped a little, not sure what to do at first. "Umm, you want one, Ophis-ojousama?" Itachi asked as he did have more so sharing wasn't a problem.
Ophis looked at him with her stoic expression and nodded. "Mm." She accepted the dango from Itachi and began munching on it. Itachi took another one for himself and ate along with this being of infinity. "Your nice, I like you." Ophis said and took another stick of dango. She then reached into her pocket and brought out several different kinds of candy. "Have one?" Ophis offered him some in order to pay him back for the dango.
"Thank you, ojousama. Anyway, you really seem to like sweets Ophis-ojousama." Itachi said as the being of infinity ate a chocolate candy bar.
"Mm, they taste so good." Ophis replied motionlessly.
She was like a little kid, and despite knowing what she was Itachi couldn't help but see her any other way than a kid. "They certainly do." Itachi liked sweets himself, he has liked them all his life. He then noticed that Ophis had chocolate all over around her lips. "Hang on, Ophis-ojousama." Itachi took a napkin and began wiping Ophis' mouth getting all the chocolate stains from her lips off. "There you go." Itachi said as Ophis looked at him with fascination.
The others looking at this scene sweat dropped. ""They're like a parent and a child… Or a big brother and a little sister."" They all said in perfect unison.
"Nya, they even have the same facial expression." Kuroka said as indeed Ophis and Itachi did share a stoic emotionless expression which made them look more related.
"Ophis-ojousama seems to really have taken an interest to him…" Le Fay said.
"It is indeed strange." Arthur agreed with his little sister.
"You know I can hear you guys, right?" Itachi said with a deadpan expression.
Then suddenly Vali walked into the room having finished his training. "Ophis, shouldn't you get going soon? You have a meeting with the Old Satan Faction soon after all." Vali informed.
"Oh, yes I should go then." Ophis said and packed away what was left of her sweets for another time.
"Oh, yeah that reminds me. Those old guys wanted to talk to you about something as well." Jin said looking over at Itachi whom kept his stoic expression up.
"What for?" Itachi questioned with his eyes slightly narrowed, what interest would the Old Satan Faction have in him?
"Once they heard one of the great members of the ancient Uchiha clan had come back to life, they wanted to see so for themselves." Jin replied not seeming to care. "Anyway, just accompany Ophis on this and get this meeting over with. There will be a new mission waiting for you when you get back."
"Understood, looks like I will be accompanying you, Ojousama." Itachi looked over to Ophis whom nodded and formed a portal for them to walk through. Ophis was the first one to walk through it and Itachi followed soon after.
The Underworld
A portal opened and out of it exited Ophis and Itachi, they were in a conference hall as there was a big round table in the center with five chairs, guards were guarding the door and stood around them up against the walls, all of them carried a black trident spear and were dressed in armor. The large door opened and out came a man with long brown hair that reached his hips with many bangs covering his right eye, he wore a black armor and a coat with a furry collar area. This man was one of the Old Satan descendants, Shalba Beelzebub. Next to him was a man with black hair tied up into a small ponytail, he had violet eyes, pointy ears and pale skin. He wore noble like black clothes with dark red belts and motifs, and a black cape to top it off. This was yet another descendant of the Old Satan's Creuserey lastly there was a young devil with dark green hair and a gentle looking face with a smile Itachi could easily tell was fake, he was dressed in very expensive noble devil clothes.
'So, a traitor huh?' Itachi thought as this young man was Diodora Asraroth, the younger brother of the current Beelzebub, Ajuka. However, Itachi kept his cool and stood there like he was Ophis' guard.
"I see that you brought a guest, Ophis. I assume this is the legendary resurrected Uchiha that recently joined the Shinobi Faction." Shalba said in an arrogant like tone that Itachi didn't care for very much.
"I'm Uchiha Itachi, yes. Currently possessing the body of my reincarnate Hyoudou Itachi." Itachi replied and noticed that mentioning the name Hyoudou made Diodora flinch a little.
"Good, I wanted to meet you. Is not every day you get to see someone who's been dead for so long brought back. I'm curious about you, you see." Shalba said with a smirk.
"Hmm, I still don't see why a human like him and his group are needed in our organization." Creuserey growled a little while glaring at Itachi whom didn't flinch.
"I'm no ordinary human, or do you need to be reminded of that?" Itachi said as his eyes turned into his sharingan and released a red glow, Creuserey sweated a little but still growled in anger.
"Now, now, Creuserey we are working with Khaos Brigade for a reason remember? We can't overthrow and execute the current Satan's without the help of the mighty Ophis, and having such ancient power wouldn't be too bad either." Shalba said and turned to Itachi. "Uchiha Itachi huh? I have heard old stories about your clan, and some of the members they have produced over the years in their lifetime. I have heard old ghost stories of the Legendary Madara, Sasuke, Sarada, and I believe your name as well has come up in those ancient stories… Oh yes, Itachi the Clan Killer. Thanks to you most of the Uchiha clan were wiped out and almost brought to the brink of extinction. It was also described that you were one of the most dangerous and strongest members to have ever come out of that ancient clan."
"So, you know about me?" Itachi questioned and got ready for battle if need be, depending on how much Shalba knew.
"Only a little, it's not so easy to learn the full story when most records were destroyed. The fact that you killed your own people is all I know from the ancient stories the underworld managed to gather after the fall of the Shinobi era. I also heard that you recently went up against both Sirzechs and Serafall at the same time, so I'm truly glad to have someone as powerful as you in this organization we're all a part of." Shalba said and Itachi could tell that he wasn't lying, well he could also tell that Shalba didn't exactly like him either, seems he doesn't like humans either just like Creuserey.
"What is it that you all wanted from me then?" Ophis suddenly spoke and everyone from the Old Satan Faction turned to the Dragon God of Infinity.
"Oh, yes Ophis. We would require a new snake from you." Diodora was the one to speak this time.
"I already have given you some. Why do you need more?" Ophis tilted her head to the side.
"Well to win my Rating Game against Rias Gremory of course. And of course to kill the current Maou's by turning that nun's Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing into a bomb. And in return you will naturally be given the Dimensional Gap area of the underworld." Diodora said although he seemed nervous as sweat ran down his forehead.
Itachi growled inwardly at Diodora. 'So, they are planning on attacking during the Rating Game between him and Rias… Fools, they seem to underestimate Sirzechs and the other Maou's power, not to mention Azazel will be watching as well. They are all walking into their graves. But what's more… they are planning on making Asia into a bomb?' Itachi thought.
"Very well." Ophis said as a black snake slithered out from her sleeve and towards Diodora.
"Well then seems our business with each other is over. Oh, there was one last thing I wanted to discuss with you Uchiha. I would like for you and your team to aid in the attack as well during the Rating Game, is that acceptable?" Shalba asked with a smirk that made Itachi sick.
Itachi knew he couldn't turn their offer down, it would look way to suspicious. Plus, Ophis was right here, if it was revealed he wasn't really on their side she could kill him instantly if she wanted to. Besides, if he was there he could better insure Rias, Akeno, Issei and the others safety. "Very well, I shall discuss this with Jin and Fujiwara." Itachi replied with a stoic expression. "But if they are going to accept they will need something in return."
Shalba smirked and reached his hand out with a magic circle glowing in his palm, later in a flash of light a scroll was revealed in his hand. "These ancient scrolls each of the Factions have are really important for all of you, aren't they? Tell them if they do it this will be their payment. I hear this is supposed to be a very important one as well." Shalba said and the scroll vanished back through the magic circle. "Of course, you must help us first before we give it to you."
Itachi narrowed his eyes. 'Now Jin and Fujiwara are bound to get involved and so are the others… this could prove to be very dangerous. Jin and Fujiwara are supposed to be on par with Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub. What's more I will need to be more careful with my actions if they are there…' Itachi thought and nodded. "Naturally."
"Well then we will dismiss ourselves. Good day." Shalba, Creuserey and Diodora bowed to Ophis as Diodora placed the black snake he got from Ophis in a jar. They then took their leave.
"Make sure to do your best." Ophis said while looking at Itachi whom bowed.
"Of course, Ojousama." Itachi said as they walked back through the portal.
At the Shinobi Faction base
Itachi and Ophis returned and before them stood Jin and Fujiwara. "Well, what did they want?" Jin questioned.
"They wanted some help from us to kill the Maou's during the Rating Game between Diodora Astaroth and Rias Gremory." Itachi replied and Jin let out a snort.
"Yeah, and why would we help them? It's got nothin' to do with us." Jin turned around and began walking.
"Shalba offered us a scroll in return." Itachi said and Jin stopped dead in his tracks. "He showed it to me and said it was supposedly containing something very special."
"…"
"What do you want to do, Jin?" Fujiwara questioned looking at his old friend.
"… Did he want everyone on our team?" Jin asked not turning around to face Itachi with that question.
"That's what he said, yes." Itachi replied.
"That scroll better be good, or else I will take his head as payment." Jin said and walked away.
"Well now that has been decided, here your new assignment. A scroll hidden in an old abandon church ruled by Fallen Angels that follow Kokabiel. They have several elite fighters in there, but I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle." Fujiwara said and handed Itachi a file.
Itachi browsed through the file seeing photos of a church that was overgrown with grass and weeds, it looked like no one had been in that church for over decades now. "Very well, I will leave immediately." Itachi said and tucked the file inside a pocket of his Akatsuki cloak.
"You sure you don't want anyone accompanying you?" Fujiwara asked.
"No, I will be fine on my own." Itachi replied and walked over to Fujiwara whom formed a few hand seals. Itachi stood in a drawn circle on the floor and Fujiwara then slammed his palm into the floor.
"Reverse Summoning!" Fujiwara shouted and Itachi vanished in a puff of smoke.
In an unknown location
Itachi arrived in a puff of smoke in the woods. He looked into the sky to see it was night time wherever he was. He looked at the map in the file to find the location to the abandoned church. It was a red line drawn on the map on one end it said summoning spot which Itachi figured was where he was and on the other end it said church.
The forest reminded Itachi a little of the Forest of Death, although it was clearly different but it still reminded him of that forest where he once participated in the chunin exams. As he walked and while reading the map he suddenly noticed a growling noise that reached his ears. He turned to his side and noticed a pack of wolfs having surrounded him.
Itachi didn't react, he just stood still while the wolfs circled him while growling. Itachi sighed as his breath was visible duo to the cold night air. He then released a massive killer intent that made the wolfs freeze up, they glared at him while still growling but they slowly began backing away. Itachi then began to look at each one of them with his sharingan active and they all began to run away knowing Itachi was too dangerous for them to attack.
He suddenly sensed someone calling him, then he formed a magic circle in his palm and out of it popped out a hologram of Sirzechs. "What is it, Sirzechs?"
"Just thought I would let you know that Rias-chan will have a Rating Game match with Diodora Astaroth in a few days from now."
"I already know. And there is something you should know to about Diodora. He seems to be allied with the Old Satan Faction and Khaos Brigade. He was in a meeting with Ophis, Shalba and Creuserey. They plan to launch an attack during the Rating Game to take you're and the other Maous life, they plan on doing so by capturing Asia and turn her Sacred Gear into a bomb." Itachi informed and could already see the anger in Sirzechs eyes although he kept a calm expression.
"Well that sounds like a foolish attempt… And such a close friend of mines own younger brother, how unfortunate… Well guess we could use this as an opportunity to take several of them out." Sirzechs said.
"It won't be as simple as it sounds. They requested me and the rest of the Shinobi Faction aid them in this assault. He offered us a scroll in return. Seems that someone you trusted it with holds his faith somewhere else."
"I see, thank you for this information. We will prepare as good as we can, although we need to make it not seem as we overprepared. That might give them a clue that there is a traitor amongst them and your safety would be at risk." Sirzechs expressed his worry towards Itachi's safety.
"It's the safety of the others I'm worried about. Anyway, I will help anyway I can as well during the assault." Itachi said.
"Thank you, and there was one more thing. Azazel informed me that during that attack on Asia-chan's former church you encountered an exorcist named Ben."
"That is correct, yes." Itachi had a hard time swallowing the guilt after the mentioning of him attacking Asia's former church.
"Be careful, Itachi-kun. Ben is a very dangerous man." Sirzechs said as his expression hardened.
"How so?" Itachi questioned.
"In all my life, I have had many battles, but not many where I was injured. And a very few were I was left scared for life." Sirzechs said as he removed his cloak, unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it down revealing a scar across his chest. "Ben gave me this scar."
"Wh-What?" Itachi was a little amazed that someone could injure Sirzechs like that. "How did he do that?"
"It was really strange, one moment I was in this intense battle with him. And the very next moment, before I knew it, I slipped on a banana peel and he was over me and cut me with a massive light sword." Sirzechs revealed with a serious expression and Itachi sweat dropped.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Oy! What's with that face?! You think I'm just some big clumsy guy?!" Sirzechs questioned.
"…" Itachi averted his eyes from the hologram making Sirzechs cry.
"You did didn't you! That's hurtful, Itachi-kun! I'm telling you he planted it there somehow!"
"Well Sirzechs, I gotta go bye." Itachi said.
"Just you wait until it happens to you-" Itachi deactivated the hologram and kept on moving.
As he pushed through some branches he spotted the old abandoned overgrown church that had the light of the full moon shine upon it. However, the place was filled with blood stains and black feathers everywhere. All the fallen angels guarding the church and the scroll had been killed with only their blood and feathers remaining. Someone had beat him to it, but did they get the scroll?
As Itachi approached the church he began to feel a presence, someone was inside. Whoever killed all these fallen angels was still inside. He could sense that whoever this person was he was incredibly powerful. "I know that energy signature…" Itachi uttered as he saw the traces of energy from the man inside with his sharingan.
Itachi walked up to the main door and pushed it open, the inside looked like any other church except it was run down. Weeds were growing out from the floor, the insides looked more like that one church where they fought Raynare. At the end of the room was a broken stone cross. And then Itachi noticed a man sitting by the alter while looking at the cross.
"This church was once filled with life… men, women, young, old, everyone came in to have their sins cleansed by the Lord and rejoice in his love. Then the war between the Factions came, and the Fallen Angels took over this place that was once one of the many houses of God. It was once a house of God, just like the one you destroyed, Mr. Ninja." The man stood up and was revealed to be Ben, the mightiest exorcists in the world and the one Itachi faced when he attacked Asia's old church. "Looks like this time I get to see your face, your quite younger than I expected."
"Grand Exorcist Ben, it's been awhile." Itachi said with his stoic expression and with his sharingan activated.
"You know my name, yet I don't know yours. Care to tell?" Ben said calmly with an emotionless expression similar to Itachi's, he straightened his glasses and narrowed his green eyes at Itachi.
"…"
"I see… When I first fought, you I thought you might have been someone else, but seeing how young you are, it would be impossible for you to be him. A servant perhaps? Or a student of some kind?" Ben said and Itachi had no idea who he was talking about, another shinobi? It couldn't be Jin or the others considering they are all the same age as him.
"You sure are a lot more talkative than last time." Itachi said calmly and with no emotion behind his words.
"I speak when I find the need to do so." Ben replied with also no emotion. They both stared at each other with their eyes narrowed. "Tell me who do you work for? I'm not interested in some pawn, tell me the name of your boss." Ben demanded implying that Itachi was nothing more than just a pawn.
"A mere pawn huh? Think what you like." Itachi said calmly.
"Seems I would need to take the information by force." Ben brought out two swords handles and pushed a button on them and a sword of light emerged from both of them. Itachi raised his hand to the side and in a puff of smoke came a gunbai. The moon light shined through the holes in the ceiling and upon the two warriors.
Ben then vanished from where he stood and Itachi widened his eyes in shock, he quickly turned around and blocked a strike from Ben's swords of light with the gunbai. 'My sharingan didn't even detect his movements.' Itachi thought in shock as he backed up when he blocked a strike from the exorcist with the gunabi. Itachi leaped onto the broken stone cross at the altar of the church, and then jumped of it as Ben swung the light swords into it shattering it to pieces.
Itachi then threw four kunai knifes at Ben whom deflected all of them with his light swords. Itachi leaped at Ben with the gunbai raised above his head, he then swung it down at the exorcist whom threw the light sword on his left hand into the air and grabbed it with his mouth, and then blocked the gunbai with the light swords, and then with his now free left arm reached into his pocket and brought out a black gun decorated with golden lines. He directed the gun at Itachi and pulled the trigger, Itachi slightly turned the gunbai and blocked the bullet and Ben kept on shooting, and Itachi placed his feet on the gunbai and jumped back.
Once again Ben had vanished from Itachi's sight and despite with his sharingan he couldn't detect his movements. He suddenly felt as if multiple punches and strikes from a staff had been dealt to his body. "Argh!" Itachi grunted in pain, then Itachi could sense Ben from behind and tilted his body to the side as a bullet graced the side of his left arm. He turned around to see Ben holding one light sword in his right arm, the other light sword in his mouth sticking out sideways, and the gun in his left. Ben then deactivated both of his light swords, spitted the one that was in his mouth into his right with the other one, he then placed them into the hilts of his belt underneath his exorcist coat as well as the gun. He then brought out a metal staff with three claws at the end with a cannon like thing between them.
Ben directed the end of the staff at Itachi and in the cannon like thing between the metal claws, charged up a golden energy. Ben then blasted a sphere of energy made of holy light. Itachi swung his gunbai like it was a baseball bat and deflected the energy sphere to the side, the sphere crashed into the church wall and exploded blowing away the entire wall and some of the roof. Itachi then swung the gunbai creating three massive tornadoes that reduced the rest of the church to rubble. The tornadoes then clashed into Ben, however the tornadoes got disabled, and when the wind cleared it revealed Ben covered by a golden energy shield as he had stabbed the metal staff into the ground.
The rubble fell around them with dust gathering around them. Ben then pushed a button and the energy shield got deactivated, Ben then charged at Itachi while dragging the staff across the ground as sparks flickered around the end of it between the claws. He then jumped up and vanished once again, and suddenly Itachi felt as if a powerful blow had been dealt to his gut as he coughed up blood staining the floor beneath him. Itachi then looked above him and saw Ben and multiple golden energy spheres just above him. The spheres crashed into the area where Itachi stood and exploded in a fiery explosion. Ben then leaped back with the altar behind him and he was facing the fiery explosion. Ben narrowed his eyes as a red spectral skeleton was revealed from the fiery smoke, the skeleton grew flesh and let out a loud roar. And in the spectral warrior stood Itachi with his mangekyou activated, he had been saved from the explosion but not completely as the right sleeve on his Akatsuki cloak was burned off as well as some burn marks on his arm.
"Most impressive…" Ben said emotionlessly showing no sign of concern. "This is easily the most challenging fight I have had in years. Only two people have pushed me to my limits in all my life, some have come close, you might just come at the close part of the list." Ben narrowed his gaze at Itachi and placed the metal staff back into his belt and then brought out his gun. He then fired a few shoots at the massive spectral warrior, but the bullets just bounced off it. "Hmm, seems like the defense ability of that massive warrior of yours is extremely high." Ben charged at the Susano'o and brought out a sword hilt, he then activated it popping out a sword of light. He then swung the sword at the Susano'o and the light sword vanished upon impact. Ben quickly leaped back dodging the Susano'o which punched down its massive fist where Ben once stood. "Hmm, one final test." Ben brought out the metal staff and sent a massive sphere of light energy. Once the sphere clashed into the Susano'o it exploded in a massive fiery explosion, once the smoke cleared it revealed a few cracks in the ribcage area of the Susano'o that healed quickly.
Itachi's Susano'o stretched its hand out towards Ben whom vanished from Itachi's sight once again. 'How does he keep doing that?' Itachi thought as another explosion hit the Susano'o in the back from an energy sphere shoot by Ben. 'It's like he vanishes completely from one point to another, it's not speed, then what is it?' Itachi thought as he could have sworn that he had experienced something similar before. Then as he stepped back he slipped on a banana peel. "Wh-What the? Itachi questioned in confusion."
He then looked at Ben whom was standing behind the Susano'o that was still covering Itachi while chewing on something and swallowing it. Itachi noticed the look on Ben's face, he knew that look he was analyzing him.
Itachi got up and looked confused as to how that banana peel got there. He then remembered something from a time where he had not yet merged with his other self, a little cross dressing vampire boy. "So, that's your ability. You can stop time." Itachi said with a narrowed gaze and Ben flinched slightly. "Not only that, but it seems as you can slow down time as well hence your incredible speed. And when you stop time you can only move, not use any blast attacks from that staff of yours or shoot from your gun, otherwise you could have blasted me with that energy sphere while time was frozen or at least shoot me in the head with that gun of yours. While at that one time before I activated my Susano'o you slowed down time and moved behind me to blast the energy spheres. And you managed to throw that banana peel under my Susano'o testing if there was an area that wasn't covering me and you figured the feet area." Itachi said and Ben looked a little impressed. 'I got to remember to apologize to Sirzechs later…' Itachi thought recalling the conversation he had with the crimson haired Maou earlier.
"You seem to have figured it out, I congratulate you. Not many have been able to figure that one out." Ben praised with a slow clap and still a stoic face.
'I don't have time for this.' Itachi thought and then noticed that the place where the broken cross used to be was now a secret underground pathway just like at the church where he Issei and the others fought Raynare. What's more he could detect the energy of the scroll down there.
"Guess I will get serious to." Ben said as he began letting out a violent glow of light while chanting something, but then he made the mistake of looking Itachi in the eyes. Itachi's body vanished in a murder of crows and the sky around him turned red. "What is this?" Ben questioned as Itachi's started to pop out from the ground and surrounded him. "I see, an illusion." Ben quickly brought out a knife and stabbed himself in the hand and the illusion shattered. "That was a rather weak illusion. Hmm, where did he go?" Ben looked around in confusion and then spotted the secret passageway. He narrowed his eyes and ran down the passageway.
He then arrived at hidden lower floor and spotted Itachi holding a scroll that was in front of a large cross. Itachi looked at him and smirked before he once again vanished in a murder of crows that flew out through the passageway where Ben just came from, he ran back out and saw the crows fly into the distant night sky. Ben narrowed his gaze at the murder of crows flying away. "What's in those scrolls that they are so important?"
With Itachi
Itachi arrived at the place where he started, he had purposely placed Ben in a weak illusion to by him some time to get the scroll, and to not waste too much chakra while doing so. He held the scroll and performed the hand signs. "Reverse Summoning!" He then vanished in a puff of smoke.
At the Shinobi Faction base
Itachi arrived in a puff of smoke and was greeted by Ophis, Jin, Vali and Fujiwara. "Where are the others?" Itachi asked.
"They have all gone to sleep in their bedrooms." Fujiwara replied and noticed the scroll in Itachi's hand "Looks like it went well."
"Yeah, well I encountered Ben again. He seems to be hunting for me now." Itachi said. "If you wouldn't mind I'm tired and I would like to rest."
"Seems he will not rest until he kills you., sure go ahead." Jin said.
"Ben? As in Grand Exorcist Ben? Man, you have some serious problems." Vali said with a smirk. "You really are something if you got his attention."
"Are you okay?" Ophis asked with her head tilted to the side.
"Oh, yeah ojousama, I'm fine. I just need some rest." Itachi petted Ophis' head and walked towards his bedroom.
Once Itachi was in his room and made sure he was completely alone he called Sirzechs. Whom looked at him with a sour face. "What?"
"I'm sorry for thinking you were a clumsy idiot." Itachi said with a stoic expression.
Sirzechs blinked and then gained an overconfident smirk. "You fought him again and you slipped on a banana peel didn't ya?"
"…" Itachi twitched his eyes slightly.
"Told ya, he planted it there. What did I tell ya."
"Once again, I'm sorry, and can you stop with that smirk?" Itachi asked politely as it was annoying him a little bit.
"Heh, heh, sure sorry Itachi-kun. But did you figure out how he did it?" Sirzechs questioned.
"He has the ability to stop time or slow it down. Not sure on how he does it though. From what I know his not known for having a Sacred Gear so I'm not sure what it is." Itachi replied.
"I see, well I have to go now Itachi-kun. Contact me if there is any change in the plan for the attack on the Rating Game."
"Understood, Sirzechs-sama." Itachi deactivated the hologram.
As night time fell upon them and most of them had gone to sleep. Itachi woke up and walked the hallway to get a glass of water, when he noticed Vali and Bikou getting out from a portal. 'Where have they been?' Itachi thought while hiding his presence preventing the two of them from sensing him.
"Are you sure about this? Warning that Red Dragon Emperor about that Diodora?" Bikou asked and this peeked Itachi's interest.
"I just wanted to warn my destined rival, what's wrong with that?" Vali shrugged his shoulders and tucked his hands into his pockets.
"Yeah, but Diodora is a part of Khaos Brigade though…" Bikou said.
"So? We're only a group helping them from time to time, what they want got nothing to do with us, but Hyoudou Issei is my rival and that is my business. And I would rather no one finishes him off until I get to have an all-out battle with him." Vali declared with a smirk.
Bikou smirked and patted Vali on the back. "Hey Vali, you can be a really nice guy sometimes."
"Shut it and let's just go to sleep before anyone sees us and start asking questions." Vali said and they walked towards their rooms on the other side of the mansion. Itachi was hiding in the corner with a small smile on his lips.
The day of the game
The Shinobi Faction were all gearing up for the upcoming battle as they would aid in the attack during the Rating Game between Rias and Diodora. Itachi had his gunbai strapped onto his back and had a triple prong kunai strapped around his belt with a marking on it. He also held the scroll he had recovered from the abandoned church and was about to open it.
Jin pulled on some biker gloves while Fujiwara lifted Samehada over his shoulder and strapped it onto his back. Shiro held two chakra blades that Itachi recognized as they were once used by a Jonin from Konoha whom also was the Third Hokage's son. Hana like Jin also put on fighting gloves while Mako prepared some kunai knifes with paper bombs attached to them.
Itachi opened the scroll and slammed his palm into it, then writing got visible on the scroll. Itachi widened his eyes and smiled inwardly, it was a long lecture about the will of fire and how future generations must never forget it.
"Well? Anything useful?" Jin asked as he looked at the scroll. "Will of fire huh? A lecture, we sometimes get those kinds of things in the scrolls. You can hang it up on the wall if you want and we will read through it when we get back." Jin said and turned away.
"I think I will do it later." Itachi said and closed the scroll and placed it on the table for their return.
"Let's get going then." Fujiwara prepared a reverse summoning and they all vanished in a puff of smoke.
In an unknown location
They arrived in a puff of smoke on top of a pillar, they looked around to see the place was lined up with thick pillars, the ground below the pillar they were standing on was made out of rock. And a big entrance of a shrine on their side. It resembled those you would see in Greek mythology. "Is this the place?" Mako asked looking at the long red haired Uzumaki.
"Yes, look down there." Fujiwara said and they all averted their attention to where he was looking and spotted Rias Gremory and her peerage standing a little far away from them. Then thousands of magic circles appeared around them and out came various devils afflicted with the Old Satan Faction and Khaos Brigade. The very next moment Diodora arrived while laughing like a madman as he grabbed Asia. They then saw Xenovia trying to retrieve Asia by and she was wielding Durandal and Ascalon which Issei handed to her, but Diodora simply blasted her to the side and vanished with Asia in a magic circle.
"Let's go and deal with Sirzechs already, we're wasting time here." Jin said when suddenly they all felt a power full presence. They looked back down to the Gremory group and saw a bearded silver haired old man with one eye lifting up Akeno's skirt taking a peek at her panties. "That's Odin, the Chief of the Norse Gods…" Odin then directed his attention to the soldiers of the Old Satan faction and summoned the spear Gungnir and in one swoop send an out a massive aura that took out all the Old Satan faction soldiers. The entire area shook around them, and the Gremory group ran towards the shrine to fight Diodora.
"You guys go on ahead, I will stay here to deal with Odin. It would be troublesome if he interferes while we fight all the Maous in one spot." Itachi said and was ready to jump towards the Norse God whom had yet to notice them.
"No, I will do it." Fujiwara said and readied Samehada "You guys go on ahead." Fujiwara leaped down towards Odin.
"No point in arguing, let's go." Jin said and they all vanished. Itachi looked in the distance at a crow and nodded before he vanished as well.
Fujiwara landed right in front of Odin whom had finished off all the thousand soldiers. "Oh? Someone quite powerful has arrived, and his nothing but a mere brat."
"I'm Fujiwara Uzumaki of the Shinobi Faction of Khaos Brigade. I'm honored to meet you, Odin of the Norse Gods." Fujiwara got into a stance with the Samehada.
"Oh? Uzumaki? Yes, I have heard of your family before. So, you're of the legendary Shinobi Faction, I wonder are you all really that powerful?" Odin smirked like he was about to have a friendly sparring match.
"Find out for yourself." Fujiwara formed a set of hand seals.
Water Style: Super Explosive Water Shockwave!
Fujiwara gathered the tiniest water drops and turned them into a massive tsunami that charged towards the Norse God. Odin span Gungnir above his head and slammed it by the end to the ground sending a wave of aura that divided the tsunami in half. Fujiwara was right in front of Odin now and swung Samehada towards him, Odin blocked it with Gungnir and skidded back when the sword clashed into him. "Oh? Quite a strong lad." Odin said amused. Fujiwara swung down Samehada again and Odin tilted Gungnir to the side blocking the strike but the force formed a massive crater around them. "Hmm, impressive brat."
Lightning Style: Heavens Strike!
Fujiwara had a bolt of lightning crash into his Samehada and then stabbed the sword into the ground, tearing it up as lightning surged through it. "I can clearly see you are quite powerful. Just as one would expect from someone of the ancient Uzumaki bloodline, this old geezer is starting to get worried." Odin smirked.
Outside of the field
Azazel stood face to face with Ophis. "I never expected for you to come here personally." Azazel said and Ophis turned to him and laughed lightly.
"It's been a while, Azazel." Ophis greeted.
"Didn't you have the appearance of an old man before? Now that you have the appearance of a girl, you definitely have my respect. What are you plotting, Ophis?" Azazel said while rubbing his goatee.
"Observing. Just that only." Ophis replied.
"Sight-seeing from such a good place aye… But for the Boss to appear huh. Will the world be peaceful if I defeat you here?"
"Impossible. Azazel can't defeat me." Ophis declared clearly.
"Then what about the two of us?" An enormous dragon flapped its wings and came down to them, it was Tannin. "The young devils are betting their future, and they are standing on the battlefield. I don't like the fact that you came to interfere in it! For you, who didn't take any interest in the world to become the boss of terrorists?! What made you become like that?!"
"The silent world." Ophis replied and Azazel looked confused. "I want to return to the dimensional gap, and attain silence. That is the only reason."
"… I would laugh because your reason is being homesick, but the dimensional gap huh. If I remember, over there at the dimensional gap is…" Azazel said and Ophis nodded to his words.
"Yes, Great Red is there." Ophis replied.
"That is the ultimate goal of Khaos Brigade anyway. Hello there, Azazel. It's been a while." Itachi arrived at the scene with the rest of the Shinobi Faction besides Fujiwara whom was still fighting Odin.
"My, my, my, if it isn't the mind controlled older brother. How are ya, Itachi Hyoudou? Wait, it will probably be best to call you Itachi Uchiha now wouldn't it? Does Issei know you're here?" Azazel smirked while rubbing his chin.
"…"
"I'll take that as a no. And look what we got here, a few new generations of ninjas. Jin Uchiha, Hana Hyuga, Shiro Nara and Mako Aburame. All that is missing is Fujiwara Uzumaki but it seems most of the Shinobi Faction are here."
"Seems he knows all of us… well what else is to be expected from Azazel the Governor of the Fallen Angels." Jin said with a sigh as lightning flickered around him. "Where is Sirzechs? I would very much like to fight him."
"His not far away from here." Azazel replied with his usual calm smirk. "I could entertain you for a bit though."
"Hold it. I will deal with him. I am the one who carries the blood of the true Asmodeus. Cresuerey Asmodeus. I came here to ask you whom are the Governor of fallen angels for a battle as I am the member of the True-Maou faction of Khaos Brigade." Cresuerey arrived at the scene.
Azazel let out a laughter. "Look what we have here… it appears one of the masterminds have arrived. Looks like the Asmodeus of the Old-Maou faction showed himself."
Creuserey them released a massive demonic aura that was deep black, he used one of the snakes he had gotten from Ophis to boost his power. "I'm not the Old! I am the blood inheritor of the True-Maou! I will avenge Katarea Leviathan right here!"
"Heh, if you wanted to do it by yourself then why ask for our help in the first place." Jin said with an annoyed expression.
"What about Tannin then? He could be problematic." Shiro said and Jin looked up at the dragon that glared at them with a growl while at the same time trying to keep an eye on Ophis.
"He seems to be occupied, besides I have no interest in fighting an oversized lizard." Jin said and those words reached Tannin whom now directed his full attention to Jin.
"Oversized Lizard huh?! You little brat, I am a mighty dragon!" Tannin roared and spit out a massive wave of fire towards Jin.
"Hana." Jin looked at the Hyuga girl whom nodded and activated her Byakugan. She then leaped in front of the massive fire wave.
Air Palm!
Hana thrusted her palm forwards sending a powerful shockwave as the wind gathered from her push turned into a lion's head and clashed into the fire wave, yet the fire managed to push forward. "No way." Hana widened her eyes, and Jin pumped his fist and a bolt of lightning came crashing from the sky and into the fire wave dissolving it. "I expected more from you." Jin said and Hana hung her head down in shame.
Suddenly a red magic circle glowed and out came the crimson haired king, Sirzechs. "What are you doing here Sirzechs?" Azazel questioned.
"For this plan, I got my little sister involved in the political matters of us adults. So, I need to come forward as well. I thought it would be bad if I leave everything to Azazel every time. I want to persuade Cresuserey. If I can't even do that, I won't be able to face my sister." Sirzechs declared.
"You are such a Mr. Nice guy. You know it will be a waste?" Azazel said as Cresuserey like the other members of the Old Satan faction hated the current Maous with a burning passion.
"Even so, I wanted to ask them directly as the current King of the devils." Sirzechs said as Cresuerey started at him in pure rage.
"Sirzechs! The hated existence! To appear here personally! Because of you… Because of you guys, we…" Cresuerey growled in rage.
"Cresuerey. Can you lower your weapon? If it is now, I can still prepare for negotiations. For having the descendant of the previous Maou be further away from the spot light, and drove them to the corner of the Underworld. Even now I think maybe there was another way at times. I want to prepare negotiations with the descendants of a former Maou. More than that, I would like for you to talk to the current Maou Asmodeus, Falbium."
"Don't speak nonsense! Not only the fallen angels, but you allied with the angels as well, so I don't want to hear you who have become a filth to talk about devils! Not just that, but your telling me to talk to that imposter?! That is enough of your nonsense!" Cresuerey shouted.
"Like you are in the position to say that. You guys, the Khaos Brigade, have dangerous heretics of the Three-Great-Powers gathered, not to mention people from a group of ancient warriors." Azazel said looking over at Itachi and the Shinobi Faction.
"We are not cooperating. We are using them. The hated fallen angels and angels are beings who are only a tool that we use for us devils. Understanding each other? Peace? All existence besides devils must be destroyed, why can't you understand Devils are! No! We, the Maou, are the ones who have to become Kings of the world! By using Ophis's power we will destroy the world, and create a new world of devils! For that, you imposturous Maou are in our way!" Cresuerey shouted as he got caught up in the moment and forgot that the Shinobi Faction were here as well. Then suddenly lightning surrounded his body as Jin had his hand directed at him.
"Shalba was the one who had the scroll right?" Jin asked Itachi while glaring coldly at Cresuerey.
"Right." Itachi replied.
"Good." Jin said and squeezed his hand as the lighting around Cresuerey tightened and exploded as the so called true Maou screamed in pain as his body was vaporized into nothing. "Hope you don't mind that, Ophis. But I couldn't stand the guy blabbing any further." Jin said and Ophis looked at them emotionlessly and showed no signs of carrying what just happened.
"As long as I still get the dimensional gap around the underworld I'm fine." Ophis said and then turned her attention to Sirzechs and Azazel. "I will take all of it."
"Hmm, the rumors about that Jin's power seems to be true. He seems to be equal to you in fact." Azazel said while looking at Sirzechs whom looked at Jin whom glared back at him.
"Seems so…" Sirzechs uttered calmly as a dark red aura gathered around him. 'Itachi-kun, maybe we can put an end to this now.' Sirzechs thought as he looked over at Itachi whom saw the look Sirzechs was giving him.
But knowing that Fujiwara was not far behind, and the rest of the Shinobi Faction were all stronger than Kokabiel, plus with Ophis here. That it would be impossible to come back right now plus there was no guarantee that they would manage to kill Jin and Fujiwara or at least arrest them and he couldn't risk it, Jin alone was just as powerful as Sirzechs and Fujiwara was not far behind compared to Jin. Itachi lightly shook his head at Sirzechs whom understood and closed his eyes and the aura around him increased.
"Oy. Itachi, deal with Azazel, the three of you will take care of Tannin. I will take on Sirzechs." Jin said as lightning flickered around him violently just like Sirzechs' destruction aura.
""Right!"" Hana, Shiro and Mako all said in unison and leaped towards where Tannin was while Itachi remained where he stood and faced Azazel. He then detected a violent surge of power coming from the shrine as Issei had begun fighting Diodora.
'Seems Asia will be rescued soon, good. I was starting to worry, Yukino will inform me if anything happens, after all I ordered her to watch over them.' Itachi thought as he faced Azazel whom winked at him. 'Gee try make it less obvious would you.' Itachi thought with an inwardly sigh.
Sirzechs charged up a massive sphere of destruction and Jin inhaled his breath, Sirzechs threw the sphere as powerful gushes of wind blew around it, and Jin spit out a massive ball of fire that collided with the sphere making a powerful explosion as shockwaves were felt across the entire area. Jin appeared behind Sirzechs with his fist raised and covered in lighting, Sirzechs swiftly turned around and blocked the strike with his hand covered in a destruction aura. They both sent each other ice cold glares, then Jin's sharingan began to morph, it turned into a black satanic star and then formed a black dot between each of the prongs of the star. "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan." Jin uttered as a silver-grey ribcage formed around him and grew a spectral skeleton arm that pushed Sirzechs away.
Sirzechs narrowed his ice cold calculative glare as a massive silver-grey humanoid formed in front of him wielding a long trident spear. "What now, Sirzechs Lucifer?" Jin smirked widely looking rather excited to fight Sirzechs.
Itachi dodged a barrage fire of light spears from Azazel, Itachi leaped from pillar to pillar and swiftly turned around and spit out a barrage volley of fire small fire balls at the light spears creating a firework show in the sky. Itachi then threw a three-prong kunai at Azazel whom tilted his head to the side to dodge it. And then Itachi's body got enveloped in a red light as he vanished in a flash. He then reappeared above Azazel while holding the three-prong kunai, and swung his leg down crashing into Azazel's back sending him crashing into the ground forming a crater.
Azazel got up rubbing the back of his head. "Owch, that was a new one… No mercy huh?" Azazel smirked and stretched out his back.
"Itachi-sama! There's trouble!" Yukino's voice rang inside his head.
'What happened?' Itachi questioned in his mind.
"They defeated Diodora, but Shalba just arrived and Asia Aregento just vanished in a flash of light! Your younger brother is freaking out he may enter a dangerous stage of his Boosted Gear!" Yukino replied and Itachi narrowed his eyes and growled in anger.
"Jin! Something dangerous is happening over at the battle between Issei Hyoudou and Diodora Astaroth! Shalba is there and his life is now in danger, I will go and secure the scroll from him before he dies!" Itachi shouted at Jin whom suddenly like everyone else felt a dangerous aura coming from the battle between Issei and Diodora.
"Very well, make sure to get that scroll!" Jin shouted and Itachi nodded as he vanished in a flash.
'Good luck, Itachi-kun.' Sirzechs thought and focused on fighting Jin.
Itachi arrived in a flash on top of a pillar were Yukino in her crow state sat. He could see Shalba looking down on Issei whom was raging while some were crying and Rias, Akeno and Xenovia glared in rage at Shalba. "What happened to Diodora?"
"Shalba killed him when he found out that he was useless." Yukino informed.
"And Asia?"
"… She just vanished, it's strange even the security measure you took she still wasn't saved." Yukino said and Itachi widened his eyes.
"Wait, my security crow in Asia didn't activate?" Itachi questioned while looking at his familiar.
"No, that is what was so strange." Yukino replied.
"Then Asia is still alive, you said she vanished in a flash of light. Could it be she was just teleported somewhere?" Itachi questioned.
"Probably, but where? She could be anywhere, or already dead for that matter." Yukino replied.
Issei growled at Shalba in pure rage as his eyes flashed green. "Rias Gremory, leave this place at once. If you don't want to die, then it would be better to leave here immediately." Ddraig warned from Issei's gauntlet. "You devil over there, you said your name was Shalba, right? You… made the wrong choice." Ddraig said when suddenly the entire shrine began to shake violently and Issei began emitting a blood-like aura, soon the entire shrine was covered in a red light.
Suddenly multiple voices of all kinds started to be heard around Issei. "I, who is about to awaken… Am the Heavenly Dragon that has stolen the principles of domination from God… I laugh at the infinite, and I grieve at the dream… I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination…" Issei's armor started to change its shape, it became more sharp, and it grew large wings. It's hands and feet turned claw like, it started to resemble more like a dragon. "And I shall sink you to the depths of crimson purgatory! Juggernaut Drive!"
"Juggernaut Drive…" Itachi uttered in awe as even from this distance he could feel the power coming from Issei. Everything around Issei, were blown away. And Issei let out a beast like roar. Issei looks like a miniature dragon and then flew at Shalba and dug its fangs into his right arm making Shalba scream in pain. Shalba managed to break free but his entire right arm was ripped off.
"Don't screw around with me!" Shalba gathered an energy of light into his left arm, when Shalba blasted the energy Issei's wings changed.
Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!
Shalba's attack was halved until it became so weak it couldn't do anything to Issei. "Vali's power! Damn you! How many times do you have to stand in my way! Vali!" Shalba screamed. A laser cannon like thing is formed inside Issei's dragon helmet jaw and blasts out a red laser beam that vaporizes Shalba's left arm then the laser left a skinny line on the wall, floor and ceiling of the shrine, then a massive explosion occurred in the distance.
Itachi narrowed his eyes and threw the triple prong kunai towards Shalba and Issei. Itachi appeared in flash in front of Shalba whom widened his eyes in shock and then smirked. "Uchiha! You came to my rescue!" Shalba said with a wide smirk. Itachi reached his hand out as the launcher from Issei's armor was charging up.
"The scroll." Itachi demanded in a cold tone.
"Yes, yes, here just get me out of here!" Shalba said as a magic circle appeared and the scroll fell into Itachi's hand.
"What happened to that nun, Asia?" Itachi asked in a demanding tone once again.
"Oh, her, I sent her to the dimensional gap to die. Now get me out of here!" Shalba demanded.
Itachi looked at him as he threw the triple prong kunai in the direction of Rias and the others. "You're a powerful man Shalba, I'm sure you can figure out a way out of this by yourself." Itachi said as he vanished in a flash.
"No wait! You bastard get back here!" Shalba shouted in fear.
Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Longinus Smasher!
Issei let out a violent flare of a red aura and Shalba was shaking in fear as from the Boosted Gear's launcher was charged up, an enormous red wave shot towards Shalba, Rias and the others were running away so that they wouldn't get caught up in the blast. Shalba was shaking. "I-Impossible! I, the true successor of the True-Maou! I still haven't made a fool out of Vali! Beelzebub is greater than Lucifer! Curses! A mere dragon! Red dragon! White dragon!" Shalba screamed as he got enveloped by the red wave and disappeared along with the shrine.
With Itachi
A triple prong kunai stabbed into the ground next to a bunch of swords that the Gremory group was hiding behind and in a flash Itachi appeared. "You all seem to be in trouble…" Itachi said as they all looked at him with wide eyes of shock.
"Senpai…?" Kiba questioned while shaking a little, then he got into fighting stance as the swords that protected everyone vanished.
"Itachi…" Rias uttered weakly.
"What are you doing here?" Akeno questioned as they all kept their guard up.
"I came to get something from Shalba before he perished. Seems Issei has discovered a new side of his Boosted Gear." Itachi said while looking at Issei whom was roaring like a wild beast.
"Juggernaut Drive." Vali arrived through a portal with Arthur and Bikou.
"Can he be reverted back?" Rias asked in concern for her servant.
"Since it isn't a complete Juggernaut Drive there would be cases where he can revert back, but there will also be a case where he remains like this, trimming his life and die. Either way, staying like this for long will put Hyoudou Issei's life in danger." Vali replied.
They all the noticed that Bikou was holding Asia. "Here she is a part of your group, right? The healing sister."
""Asia-chan!"" Rias, Akeno and everyone else gathered around the unconscious Asia.
"Seems you have been to the dimensional gap, Shalba told me that's where he sent her, well he told me before he died that is." Itachi said with an emotionless expression although on the inside he was relieved just like the rest of them.
"Please…" Xenovia uttered and grabbed a hold of Itachi's Akatsuki cloak. "I know Senpai is still in you somewhere… so please… help Issei… save him, like it or not he is your brother!" Xenovia shouted with tears streaming down her eyes.
"…" Itachi didn't know how to respond he began thinking of a reason to help as quickly as he could, but time was running out. He looked at all their pleading faces.
"Please, help us." Rias begged.
"…" Itachi looked at the pleading looks Rias, Akeno and everyone he held dearly to him was giving him, he clenched his fist. 'Screw having a reason…' Itachi thought
"You can't be this heartless! Please!" Xenovia cried, she then widened her eyes feeling Itachi's hand on her head as he walked to the edge and looked down on Issei.
"…" Itachi threw the triple prong kunai towards a mountain near Issei and in a flash, he vanished. Itachi then appeared on the top of the mountain facing Issei in his Juggernaut Drive. Itachi morphed his eyes into Mangekyou as his body got surrounded by a spectral red aura that grew into a large spectral humanoid that let out a roar that gained Issei's attention. Issei in his Juggernaut Drive turned around to face Itachi's Susano'o and growled. "Did you notice me…" Itachi uttered as Issei and Itachi's Susano'o let out a violent roar at each other.
That's the end for now!
Again, sorry that it took so long! Me and my coauthor have both been really busy and barely have any time to work together. But here it is, finally, we will try and update faster next time.
We have also decided on when Itachi will return back to the others now, it may be a little while longer but it might not be that far away now.
Anyway, tell us how this chapter went in the reviews!
-Later!
