Mulan Shippuden

Mulan Shippuden

The whole ground shook as the Uchiha boy ran into the house and grabbed his katana; Sakura right behind him to grab her medical kit. They both came outside and looked around. There was a huge poof of smoke high in the air near Konoha's entrance. Akatsuki was here.

"Crud!" Sakura shouted. "Where are all of the injured ninja's?!"

Shikamaru didn't hesitate on one second. "Oh, uh, over here." Shikamaru showed the way and Sakura ran after him.

"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto boasted. "Come on!" Everyone ran towards the entrance of Konoha. On their way they ran into Hinata and Ino.

"Hinata! Ino! Go help Sakura with the other injured ninja's!" Kiba tolled them.

Hinata immediately went into Byakugan and ran. Ino right behind her. Kiba ran to join up with the rest of the gang. Sasuke was at the front of the group, running. Anxiety in his eyes. But, once they got there, all that anxiety completely fell, and instead and look of dark evil and murderous intent look fell upon him. There were 3 Akatsuki members standing before them. Deidara, Kisame (who looked pretty busted up from the last battle), and there standing next to him, was Itachi. Itachi Uchiha. Naruto looked back and forth between the two brothers, seeming there was a connection, of murder intent between the two. Before Naruto could even comprehend everything, a flash of a red cloud whizzed by him, faster than lightning. He tried to follow it with his eyes, to where it was going, but the force was to strong and Naruto was thrown off his feet. He looked over to where Sasuke was, having a feeling that Itachi was the one to be after Sasuke. Naruto didn't much get the bond between the Uchiha brothers, but knew that they both detested one another. But surprisingly, a fish head was in its place. Naruto saw Sasuke draw his sword, as it clashed with Kisame's sword, Samehada. Sasuke was slightly pushed back by the force, but his feet were planted to the ground.

"YOU THINK YOU COULD KILL ME THAT EASILY!? BRAT!" Kisame shouted at Sasuke. Sasuke could tell that Sakura has done a bit of… "redecorating" to his reputation. Sasuke could see the bruises and scars that Sakura had left on Kisame, and was grateful to this; now he knew his vulnerable points.

Sasuke swung his sword at Kisame's stomach, but he backed away. Sasuke saw Kisame struggle with keeping balance and holding up his sword. He wanted to end the fight quickly so he could get to Itachi next. Sasuke, with his incredibly fast feet, swept behind Kisame and swung his katana. He got him! Kisame went down. As he was down, Sasuke took the time to look around. Everybody else went to go after another Akatsuki member except for Kiba, Lee, and surprisingly, Shikamaru made it back. Shikamaru used his shadow binding to keep Kisame down, and quickly, Sasuke went in for the finishing blow. Sasuke go Kisame straight through. Now, Kisame was completely down and dead. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be this easy for Deidara or Itachi.

Sasuke was off to find Itachi. He immediately saw, coming from the back of him, Itachi. He turned around and drew his katana.

"Today is the day you die!" Sasuke shouted, and ran towards Itachi. His sword plunged right through Itachi's stomach.

"No way. Did I really get him? That easily?" Sasuke thought. But, in an instant, what he thought was his older brother, was now just a bunch of ravens, flying into the air.

"NO!" Sasuke thought. "No, this can't be happening! I'm trapped in his genjutsu!"

Sasuke tried to recall every possibility that Sasuke could have gotten into Itachi's genjutsu. Then he remembered. When he was turning back, he looked straight into Itachi's eyes. And then, he was trapped.

The black ravens engulfed him until all he saw was black. Then a swirl of light. Then another, and another! He tried to run to them but couldn't move his feet. He looked down and was horrified by what he saw. A huge spike went straight through both his feet, but, for some reason, it didn't hurt, and no blood was in sight. Sasuke knew Itachi for his horrifying illusions. He knew this because he experienced it once when he was small. But, no harm or pain came to him when he was trapped. Sasuke decided that Itachi might have been not actually using his terrible sharingan, but mainly, just to keep Sasuke out of his way. Not actually to hurt him.

But, that all changed right when Sasuke started screaming.
