~One year later~
(Mitsuko's POV)
I was walking to the Hokage building. I have to do the unthinkable and tell Itachi that he has to leave the village for a few years to collect the ultimate mission and risk his live. He is not going to be very happy with me. I go to the door of the Hokage's office and knock, waiting for a response.
"Come in." Responses the Hokage from the other side of the door.
I open the door and walk in closing the door behind me. The Hokage motions for me to sit in one of the chairs in front of his desk. I sit down and look up at the Hokage with sadness showing in my eyes. Letting the Hokage know how I feel about this subject.
"What is it Mitsuko that was you so upset? What can do to help you?" Asked the Hokage.
"Hokage-sama I need you to give Itachi a mission." I answer.
"What type of mission does he need to go on that has you so upset?" He asked.
"The mission type would be SS rank and the mission would be to infiltrate the organization known as the Akatsuki. He will need to go on this mission of many years and to complete it and to make sure that history turns out how it is so opposed to be." I answer sadly.
"Ok, Mitsuko I will call him here but, you must be the one that tells him about the mission." Says the Hokage.
"That's fine Hokage-sama I agree but could you also call Kakashi he needs to know some information that relates to Itachi's mission." I say.
The Hokage nods and summons them. Itachi and Kakashi teleported into the room with their anbu masks and outfits on, and they bowed to the Hokage.
"You can unmask Itachi, Kakashi, and it is Mitsuko that actually needs to talk with you the two of you." Says the Hokage motioning to me as they take their masks off, turning to face me.
"I asked you both here because I have a mission and information for you. First, Itachi I know you will not like this but you will be going on an SS rank mission to infiltrate the organization known as the Akatsuki. This means that you will be leaving the village for a few years." I say not looking at Itachi in the eyes.
Itachi looked at me with wide and shocked eyes. Full of disbelief about the mission that I have just told him, he has to do.
"W-why do I have to go on this mission Mitsuko. We fought just last year against Danzo so that I wouldn't have to be a rouge ninja. Now you want me to be almost the same thing as we were fighting for me not to be." Says Itachi starting to get mad and panicked.
"I sorry Itachi but it must be you that goes and does this mission. It is the only way that history will be made right after I changed it and killed Danzo." I say solemnly.
"Ok, Mitsuko I understand why you are giving me this mission and why I have to go. I will go on this mission but, do I at least get to say goodbye to Sasuke?" He asks.
"Yes, but just tell him that you are doing a long SS class mission. If he gets mad at you, you can tell him that it was my doing and he can be mad at me instead." I say not looking Itachi in the eyes not believing that he will love me still.
He pats my head making me look up at him. He has a smile but a loving smile on his face.
"Now, now Nii-san yo know that Sasuke could, and would not be mad at you even if I would tell him that." Says Itachi.
"Yes, I know I just don't want you to feel guilty about going and leaving him. If it would make you feel better, I would take the blame so that he would still love you and not possible hate you for leaving. He could even live with Naruto, Kakashi, and I so he wouldn't be alone." I say.
"Yes, that would make me feel much better. Him living with you because I still do not trust my family yet. He is also is still too vulnerable to their ways of manipulation." Says Itachi.
"Ok, that's settled. Now Otou-san, why you are here, is because I need someone I can trust with knowing about this mission so if something happens to me or Sarutobi, Itachi can return to the village not as a rogue but as a hero and respected citizen. Also, Itachi you can return when the Akatsuki is disbanded, not killed I have plans for some of them. That is when your mission will be over and you can return to the village." I say to them both making sure that they both understand what would happen with the mission.
"Ok, Mitsuko/Otome." Says Itachi and Kakashi at the same time, smile a little bit at how much thought and how I would make sure that nothing happened to the one that Itachi loves and cares about.
The both nod and then teleport away leaving just the Hokage and myself in the room. I turn to the Hokage and let out a sigh I did not know I was holding.
"Thank you, Mitsuko I know that was very hard on you to tell Itachi that he had to do." Says the Hokage looking at me with a proud smile.
"It is fine Hokage-sama I am just glad that they were not mad at me and are actually happy with what I talked about with the mission and Sasuke's care." I say and leave the Hokage and the building heading home to be with my family that will so be growing, as we welcome another person into our life.
