Hey I know it has been forever but here is ch 5 I hope you guys enjoy it thanks for the reviews I was thinking of putting this on hiatus but your reviews stopped me. They are the main reason I'm continuing, here goes the Itachi and Kisame chapter.

"Itachi, Kisame, I have called you two to my office so that I can give you both a mission." The spiky haired leader announced.

The Uchiha looked at his leader "What's the mission." Itachi asked.

"It's an assassination mission." Pein replied

The tall blue man next to Itachi gave a toothy grin. "Who is it?" Kisame asked eagerly

"His name is Tenji Udurai. He was a former chunin of Kiri. He claims to have information about us and plans to sell that information to the Mizukage." Pein answered while handing them a photo.

Itachi looks at the picture and closes his eyes. "Where was he last seen?"

"He was last seen near Kumo. But I've got information that he would be exchanging the info in Tanzaku town. So you can go there and wait for him. The meeting is tomorrow night. So I suggest that you both should leave immediately." Itachi and Kisame nodded and left the room to get ready for the mission.

30 minutes later Itachi was waiting at the door waiting for Kisame to finish packing their food for the trip. Hidan and Deidara were on the couch watching TV while Sasori and Kakuzu was playing chess. Then all the rare peacefulness was interrupted by a certain orange mask wearing member. "OOOHHHH! OOHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING!?" Tobi screamed as he came out of nowhere. Hidan with his eyes still glued to the screen sighed in annoyance. "It's called shut the fuck up." The jashinist mumbled, clearly agitated.

Kakuzu glanced up to see Tobi "Tobi, can you keep it down please? Sasori and I are in the middle of a game."

"Oh what game are you guys playing?" Tobi asked.

"It's called chess." Sasori stated bluntly

"Can Tobi play?" The Masked man asked.

Sasori moves a piece and then looks at Tobi, "No, now go away."

Tobi walks off with his head hanging.

"Ok the food is packed you ready to go." Kisame announced. "You ready Itachi?"

"Yea. Let's go." Itachi answered. And with that the two were out the door and on their way.

The dangerous duo hopped tree from tree on their way to the land of waves. Itachi was deep in his thoughts still not happy about their target. "What's bothering you?" Asks Kisame noticing his partner's discomfort.

"This is my fault." Itachi stated

"What do you mean?" Kisame asks confused.

"Remember that assassination mission 3 years ago. The one with that anbu captain. There was a kid, he was a chunin. I let the kid live."

"So you let him go huh? Why?"

"It was on a whim that I spared his life and now that whim may prove to be a dreaded mistake." Itachi stated

"Don't worry we'll get him. And this will be behind us." Kisame assured.

"Humph I'm sure it will." Itachi replied. The Uchiha closed his eyes starting to remember how his mistake had happened.

3 Years ago

Itachi, Kisame, Deidara and Kakuzu were sent to kill an anbu captain of Kirigakure. The sky was already black and dotted with stars when they commenced their attack. The Captain was staying in a very small village. They had bombed the house the anbu captain was sheltered in. but they didn't know that he had 3 of his troops along with him. The house was on wrecked and on fire while everyone was fighting to the death in front of the blazing building. Itachi analyzed the man before him. The captin was a tall and muscular man who was wearing a crow mask along with his uniform. Itachi also noticed the sword in his hand and withdrew a kunai.

The captain rushed at Itachi and made a stab for his head but missed as the Uchiha ducked under and prepared for a counter. The captain was able to pull back his sword just in time to block the deadly kunai aimed for his throat. Itachi pulled back but was grabbed by his arm and was served with a vicious uppercut. The Uchiha was quick to get back to his feat narrowly dodging the enemy's sword. The captain was once again upon Itachi and threw a flurry of attacks with his sword. Itachi was amazed that the man had such speed with his bulk, but the Uchiha proved to be faster as he dodged another attack and launched a powerful kick to the captain's mid section. Itachi knew he couldn't afford to go at another round and activated his sharingan. The man saw the glowing red eyes and muttered "Uchiha?" The captain rose to his feet and charged back at the red eyed shinobi in front of unleashed yet another barrage of attacks. However his opponent was much more challenging to hit than even before. Itachi was able to slip through the captains attacks but was unable to counter, but then there was the slightest opening. The captain made a wide swing for the Uchiha's head, Itachi with extreme speed ducked low and formed hand signs. Itachi then shot a small fireball in between him and his opponent. The blast sent him and the captain hurtling in opposite directions. Itachi was able to catch himself and run through the rising smoke to get to his enemy. The captain had taken a lot of damage from the blast, his uniform was in shreds, his mask was half way blasted off and he had sustained horrible burns on his right arm. He never had a chance when Itachi busted through the cloud of smoke. Itachi plunged the kunai into the man's stomach 3 times before giving him a spinning kick causing him to fall before the burnt steps of the house. Itachi was on the man again raising his kunai in the air and bringing it down hard on the man's throat. Blood spurted from the captain's mouth as the light faded from his one visible eye.

Itachi rose with his assignment complete. He looked over to Deidara who had just blown off his opponents legs. Deidara grinned and tossed a clay spider on the anbu's mask. "I hope you enjoyed my art unn KATSU!" With that The blond bomber detonated his spider, blowing his enemy's face off Kakuzu had cornered his enemy against another building and with earth hardened fists delivered rib shattering body shots. The anbu leaned over hold his sides and wheezing for breath. Kakuzu with a quick hand grabbed the man by the throat and raised him high in the air. A loud cracking sound was heard. Kakuzu released the lifeless body. "Pitiful." He mumbled. Kisame had been having fun with his opponent who was wielding a sword. The anbu was unable to prepare for Kisame's onslaught of heavy sword blows. His weapon was broken in half as he attempted to block a heavy swing of samahada. The anbu enraged screams and then throws a punch only for Kisame to slide under it and place a firm grip on the anbu's face. With a hefty grunt Kisame lifted the man in the air by his head and slammed him into the ground. The anbu looked around. The last thing he saw was the bottom of Kisame's sandal."That was fun." The blue Akatsuki chuckled. Itachi was getting ready to go over to join his comrades when he heard footsteps.

The Uchiha turned around to see a young man charging at him with a kunai. With no time to think Itachi quickly retrieved another kunai. Itachi then grabbed the young man's wrist and thrusted his kunai in the kids knee. His attacker fell on one knee grunting in agony. Itachi then delivered a kick to his face and then was on top of him with his kunai at the boy's neck. He was going to slit his throat but he stopped abruptly. The kid was pale. He was no more than 14 he had long raven black hair and eyes full of anger and fear. The kid looked just like his own brother. Itachi couldn't bring himself to do it so before any of his partners could he asked, "What's your name and rank?"

"T-T-Tenji Udurai im a-a-a chunin…w-why." The boy asked clearly frightened.

"Listen to me well Tenji. I'm going to let you go but you must not tell anyone what happened here tonight. You didn't see the killers and you took a stray kunai to the knee, do you understand?" Itachi whispered.

"Y-yes." The kid responded.

"Good now go!" Itachi hissed.

Present

Itachi sighed. "I am indeed too merciful, but he looked too much like Sasuke. I wonder if I will be able to go through with it time. I wonder how Sasuke is doing."

OK that's it for this chapter I will try to update next Saturday. Read and review chao.
