CHAPTER 6 Akatsuki vs. Whirlpool, first battle
"That's as far as you go Naruto-kun." said a voice from just off to the side. Naruto and Sasuke both froze in place. Sasuke new that voice, it haunted his dreams every night. Naruto remembered that voice, the voice of a man who killed of his brother's family and was constantly chasing him down as well. Everyone turned and saw, "Itachi Uchiha." spat Naruto.
"Itachi Uchiha?" asked Kushina, "Sasuke's older brother?"
"And killer of the entire Uchiha clan." said Naruto, "To test your self, I believe that was the pathetic excuse you gave to Sasuke, wasn't it Itachi?" Kushina said something in a low voice to Naruto and then disappeared in swirling water. Naruto stood their, his eye's wide in shock and his jaws on the floor.
"Shocked Naruto-kun?" asked Itachi, "Did that woman realize she could not defeat me?"
Naruto slowly started to smile. "Actually," he began. "She said wait right here, I'm going to get their mother." At this both Uchihas looked at Naruto.
Sasuke shook himself out of his stupor first. "Who cares where she went, and Itachi will be dead by the time she returns." Sasuke did some hand signs and sparked up a Chidori then rushed at Itachi. Now in Sasuke's defense, he had grown quite powerful, but the shock and sudden anger that came to him from seeing, and once again being ignored by his brother made him act recklessly, because of that, he made the mistake of looking Itachi strait in the eye. One minute he was charging, and the next he found himself trapped in the Tsukuyomi technique. Sasuke was bound to a chair, and Itachi was standing in front of him with what appeared to be his mother.
"Now little brother," said Itachi. "You get to watch as I name off and kill every member of our clan." Itachi pulled out his sword and stabbed their mother, but, to the shock of both it just passed right through.
Then a female voice spoke from behind Itachi. "Itachi Uchiha, I know you were not about to stab your own mother."
'That voice.' Itachi thought. 'Impossible.' Slowly Itachi turned around, and their, standing before him was Mikoto Uchiha. For the fist time ever Itachi showed emotion. "YOUR DEAD" he shouted, "I KILLED YOU MYSELF!"
"And yet here I stand, not a mark on me." said Mikoto
BACK IN THE REAL WORLD
"Itachi, you finished yet?" came another yet familiar voice to Naruto. He turned and watched as Kisame Hoshigaki came walking up.
Naruto turned to his mother, "That's Itachi's partner, his name is"
"Kisame Hoshigaki," Kushina called out. Kisame looked around at Kushina and his eyes went wide.
"K-K-Kushina-sama." he managed to get out. "I thought you were dead."
"May I ask why you are after my son?" Kushina asked, putting her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Then it clicked in Kisame's head. 'Oh my God, Uzumaki, I am so screwed.'
BACK IN ITACHI'S WORLD
"What has become of you Itachi?" asked Mikoto
"It's very simple mother," said Itachi, "I wanted more power, no matter the sacrifice, and now I have it."
Mikoto gave him a long look. "You foolish boy, just like your power hungry father and that idiot council. Throw away your emotions and get power, because that's all that matters, even if you lose your eyes."
"Once I take Sasuke's eyes, I will be invincible." said Itachi
Mikoto looked at him with pity, "How long Itachi?" she asked. Itachi gave her a questioning look. "How long, before you realize we are still in your Tsukuyomi world, and yet I'm in control." said Mikoto. Itachi looked around and realized Sasuke was nowhere to be seen. "You chose a dark path Itachi, you killed for power, and there is no turning back for you."
"And what of you, Mother?" asked Itachi. "How did you get your power?"
Mikoto smiled, "I got my power rather easily, I was the person who delivered Naruto Uzumaki."
"That's the reason you wanted me to help with Sasuke." asked Itachi
"Yes it was, but I see now, I failed with you, at least your brother knows where true power comes from." said Mikoto. Then she snapped her fingers and the world around them shattered and they were back in reality, Itachi looked around.
"Itachi!" said Kisame. "We need to leave now, and we are not ready for this fight."
"No," called out Itachi. "I must finish what I started, I am sorry mother, but you must die." In the blink of an eye, Mikoto's foot connected to Itachi's face, he sent spinning to the ground. Itachi then felt himself being lifted by the front of his robe. He found himself eye to eye with his mother, who proceeded to literally beat his head into the ground. Meanwhile, Kisame was getting a bad feeling; slowly he turned his head to see Kushina intently staring at him. He sighed and grabbed his sword.
"How long have you been chasing my son Kisame?" asked Kushina, who began walking towards him, water beginning to swirl around her. Instead of answering, Kisame made a quick slash at
Mikoto making her jump back to dodge. Kisame grabbed up Itachi, made a quick hand sign, and the two were teleported away.
"Well," said Kiba, "I wonder who the next special guest will be."
"Troublesome," said Shikamaru, "but your right, two people who are supposed to be dead, and Akatsuki."
"Hn" said Sasuke.
"SASUKE UCHIHA, IF I EVER HEAR THAT SOUND ESCAPE YOUR MOUTH AGAIN, I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS HOLY I WILL RIP OUT YOUR TOUNGE AND BEAT YOU WITH IT. Now come over hear and give your mother a hug."
A/N sorry it took so long, they should be coming a lot faster now.
