Evade and Fight

By: Silverwolf

Madara sits within a large hall. From what he had learned there wasn't a way for Sasuke to learn his brother had disappeared yet. However, there also wasn't a way for Madara to recruit anyone from Orochimaru's stronghold to help him this time either.

Kabuto sits tapping along the side of the chair silently. "I can't help you without word from the Lord. And he hasn't called in with the latest status yet. He's been on the road with his latest 'money-maker'. So you'll have to wait, also how long has he been missing?" Madara makes a face, "three days." Kabuto shrugs lightly, "well I can tell you those allowed to roam the streets for errands haven't seen him." Madara growls low, "when I find Itachi I think I'll break every bone I can."

Kabuto shakes his head, "it won't make him wish to stay. It'll only bring about a period of time where you're waiting on him. I'm certain you don't want that." Madara looks at Kabuto, "when he brings you word tonight tell him about the situation and ask him the price." Kabuto nods as the older Uchiha leaves the room.

Someone steps into the room almost silently. "Lord Orochimaru's on the phone." Kabuto takes the phone from the young teen. "How are things where you are?" "Quite well." "Is the boy near you?" Kabuto hears laughter. "No, he's alseep. He's been through five fights in three hours." "Well Madara came by today. He wants me to begin a hunt for the older brother." Kabuto once again hears laughter. "If I use mine to hunt 'big brother' then I would be exposing my prize to the past. And I'm not willing to do such. If that teen is missing it isn't my problem. I heard someone gave him a nice offer and he refused. Hell, I gave him a nice offer and he refused. Let him hunt the older sibling. I have records to keep for this one."

Kabuto hears the commotion coming from the other end of the conversation. "Dammit, Suigetsu if you wake that boy and he kills you I'm out a fighter. Leave him to sleep." Kabuto smirks a bit, "it seems that blonde still don't approve of the little raven." Kabuto hears Orochimaru laugh, "well I doubt he could since the 'little raven' just pushed a butter knife through Suigetsu's palm." Kabuto laughs.

"Well allow a small group to hunt for the older sibling. Mostly because I could be at risk of losing this one if I don't put forth an effort. If they find him then they find him. If they don't...well I can't solve that. If that teen is as smart as the Uchiha stated he is then he's all ready found shelter somewhere."

Kabuto nods lightly, "I understand Lord Orochimaru. I do wish you a great profit and a swift return." Orochimaru laughs, "Profit and return is easy. Mostly because I keep my escape artist blindfolded. The Uchiha should learn that. Oh, and he had his first fight until death." Orochimaru laughs, "he did rather well."

Kabuto smirks, "could he follow through." Orochimaru laughs a bit. "It took he while to follow through. So there was a bit of hesitation, but unlike the rest he isn't awake thinking about it. He's asleep."

Itachi hits the floor hard. The teen groans before he starts back to his feet. The older male laughs a bit. "Too rough for you boy?" Itachi shakes his head, "I told you not to hold back. I have to learn in days what Sasuke ha learned in years. I can do this."

Kisame shakes his head, "you do realize you're the first to come to me to learn to kill like his 'toy soldiers'." Itachi makes a face, "I'm hoping I won't have to kill. I learned before that no matter how I fight I still have weaknesses. I lost my brother because of that. I won't let what happened be permanent."

The older male laughs loudly. "Even if you do manage to figure you how to 'free' your brother. He won't ever be the same. He's learned to kill for years. And that does have an effect upon someone." Itachi looks at Kisame, "so have you. And if you ask me there's still a few redeeming qualites to you." Kisame laughs, "don't be fooled. How the did you find us all anyway." Itachi shrugs, "well there's a blonde teen that watches over a younger blonde teen. I figured out how to get here through him. I think he's still pssed at me over forcing the information out of him."

Kisame laughs, "well around here you'll have to put in the time to earn your keep. I don't deal with free-loading brats. So be sure to say attention to what you learn as much as you pay attention to what you know about fighting." Itachi nods slightly before taking Kisame to the ground. "You mean like that." The older male laughs loudly.

A/N: Itachi plans to find a way to bring Sasuke freedom, will it work? And will Sasuke be able to join the rest of society by the time Itachi figures out how to free his brother?
