The Demon winged Protector Chapter 28: Uchiha brothers reunite
Now in Mt Nibel, along with their new companion, Vincent Valentine, AVALANCHE tried to trek through it. While traveling the outside of the mountain...they spotted Naruto.
"I was wondering how long it would take you guys. You guys, are pathetically slow" Naruto said. He appeared infrotn of them.
"Vincent Valentine. It's good to finally meet you. Lucrecia told me about you. Needless to say...you're pathetic" Naruto said. Naruto then held out a Tomato.
"Is that..." Sasuke said, suddenly drooling. Naruto smirked.
"It is. Follow me Sasuke, if you want it" Naruto said, as he extended his wings. Sasuke followed him, into a cave. Naruto gave him the tomato, before sealing the cave.
"Damn it. Oh well...might as well enjoy this" Sasuke said, beginning to much on the tomato. He heard a chuckle. Sasuke then became protective of the tomato.. Some lights came on, as the figure that was chuckling came into view. It was Itachi. Sasuke had to finish the tomato quickly.
"Relax little brother. I'm not here to hurt you. In fact, I'm in no shape to fight" Itachi said. Sasuek calmed down.
"It sucks to be me. The clan massacre. I did that not for reasons that I told you before. I only told you, for you to strive for success. To find out why I actually did the whole thing in the first place. It's just to bad I can't see you. Be thankful you'll never have to worry about the Mengekyou Sharingan's side effect. I've gone blind because of it. I went blind when Naruto utterly defeated me, just 2 nights ago" Itachi said. Sasuke sat down.
"You wish to know. I can tell by your breathing. To simply put, the Uchiha's were about to participate in an all out clan war.. They were going to kill the Hyuugas. Do you think that would have been fair. We lived in a nation where all Bloodline limits were welcomed. The Kaguya clan did the same thing in Mis, a little while before I did what I did, and the end result was that all bloodline users in mist were to be killed. My choice that day, was to prevent that from happening. You and I both know that Konoha would be easy to tear apart if no bloodlines existed in Konoha. So I sacrificed our clan, to prevent tat from happening. Either way, our clan, along with every other, might have been wiped out by all the other shinobi in the village" Itachi said. Sasuke sighed.
"You're not lying. So you foresaw a bigger massacre, and decided to prevent it, with your own" Sasuke said. Itachi nodded.
"It's true, while it was a good test for my power, it wasn't my goal. I joined Akastuki, not because of their wanting to take over the world, but I wanted to reshape it. To reshape it so that racism and other various thins would not be tolerated. But in the end, I realized that I could never. I was only the 4th strongest. I couldn't escape Akastuki. I had a backup plan to that. You see, when I had hoped to capture Naruto, I was going to convince him to join, and we would begin our own takeover, before the two of us would safely return to Konoha, to try to make amends. But that won't happen. Naruto will still easily kill Akastuki. Why he kept me alive, is probably because he wanted you to kill me. I understand if you still wish to" Itachi said. Sasuke sighed.
"No. I don't wish to kill you. You're still on bad territory, but I don't feel hatred towards you. But it will take me a while to fully forgive you. The both of us need to figure a way out of this cave. Luckily, I know one way" Sasuke said. Itachi shook his head.
"Are you sure you wish to go back to Konoha. That is your intention. I do not wish to go yet, even though I do have all the proof I need to clear my name. I just am not doing all that good" Itachi said. Sasuke smirked.
"He badly hurt your pride, didn't he" Sasuke said. Itachis ighed.
"Yeah. He prevented me using the sharingan, then just beat the crap out of me, before beheading Kisame. Not that I cared for fishbrains anyways.. But I saw something in Naruto's eyes, before I went blind. He held compassion. It's like, he wasn't truly insane. I believe he has his own agenda, which is why he joined up with Sephiroth. His own agenda, that will benefit him. He truly is a master of deceit" Itachi said. Sasuke sighed.
"I hoped it would be something like that" Sasuke said. He smiled. Itachi smiled.
"Yes. From what I gather about him, he's a kind person, who puts the safety of others before him, as he can't die. But yet, now he works for Sephiroth. Is it info gathering?" Itachi said. Sasuke then looked up, and smirked.
"It's a possibility, but not his goal. It all makes sense now. He once told me that he can't protect this world forever. He's become Sephiroth's apprentice, to give another a chance to become as strong, if not stronger, then Sephiroth himself. There is only one person that I know that is capable of. Cloud Strife. He and Naruto orginally defeated Sephiroth before, but it was a combined efforts basically. Cloud was about to die, after Naruto had fought with Sephiroth, and with Cloud, they pushed Sephiroth over a ledge in a mako reactor. The very same one on this mountain range. We have to find it" Sauske said. He scanned the area for an exit.
"No use. We'll just have to hop. Forgive me, both worlds, but what I'm about to do, may cause another fabric rip. WORLD GATE" Sasuke said. He and Itachi were now outside of the Sand Village, not in any sight.
"Good call. Sand is here. It means we're in wind country" Itachi said. He was pulled back. Sasuke and Tiachi were now infront of the Nibelhiem mako reactor.
"Is there anyway for you to see?" Sasuke said. Itachi nodded.
"Only by using the Sharingan.But as you can see, I'm not in the best shape, and my chakra is very low" Itachi said. Sasuke sighed. He began to chant something, and Itachi was healed.
"Materia. Very useful. I just used healing Materia spell on you. Try now" Sasuke said. Itachi opened his yes, and they were the Sharingan.
"I can see. Let's go" Itachi said. Both Uchihas ran into the reactor.
"This is it. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself being here of all places. He told me, this very catwalk was where Sephiroth plummeted. Yes. I see it. The reason why Sephiroth is alive. Mako. This Planet's lifeblood. I can feel it's power alone. It's overwhelming" Sasuke said, in excitement. He transformed into his akuma form, and flew down, to get some of it, in a syringe. Only a small dose. He flew back up, before going to normal.
"I wouldn't have done so, if you weren't blind. Revert to normal. I'd like to try something" Sasuke said, injecting the syringe into Itachi. It was slightly painful, but Itachi bore with it. Sasuke pumped the entire contents, which wasn't much, into Itachi. Itachi began to see a bit better. It wasn't complete though.
"I can see better. Y eyes have regained some sight. Don't give me anymore. I feel a bit sick" Itachi said, collapsing. Sasuke sighed. They both went into the next room. They saw Naruto there.
"I was wondering what took you two so long. The mako, I assume, partially worked" Naruto said. He was looking up at the sign that said Jenova. He came infront of the two.
"Stop trying to act like the bad guy Naruto. It doesn't suit you. We figured you out" Sasuke said. Naruto sighed.
"Tell, what did you figure out" Naruto said. Sasuke set Itachi down, who was still awake, but very weak.
"We figured out that you have your own agenda. The agenda is to make Cloud as strong as Sephiroth, so that Cloud can be this world's protector. We just had to piece your past actions, what you've said, and your behavior. Cloud has become a lot stronger" Sasuke said. Naruto nodded.
"I had hoped so. I also want to figure out why Itachi murdered our clan" Naruto said. Itachi smirked.
"I prevented an even bigger massacre. I don't feel like explaining other stuff at the moment" Itachi said. Naruto smirked.
"Fair enough. Sasuke. You used the world gate to get out, correct. Good. I wanted you to get info out of Itachi. You have. You figured me, out, and you're using your brains more often. Get Itachi, and follow me" Naruto said. Sasuek did that, as they climbed the steps.
"This room, we are in, was once the keeping place of Jenova. The resemblance to sephiroth is scary. Cloud won't have a mutation like me, Hinata, and Sephiroth, but he will still be strong. Once cloud has proven himself, I will come clean to the others. Until then, I'm training cloud in a different sense. But you two need to get back to Konoha" Naruto said. This surprised the two.
"Explain the situation with Itachi, then go after a giant threat. I'll be secretly helping myself. There has been this weird amounts of disappearances lately, and there is also sound Ninjas. I've found out that Orochimaru isn't dead, contrary to past beliefs. He used but a copy of himself to do his work, to see if he could trust me and Sephiroth. It didn't work. We're to find the cause behind this sudden happenings, then finally Kill Orochimaru" Naruto said. Sasuke and itachi understood.
"Let the mako work itself before you go into battle. Everyday, you'll get more of your vision back, as the mako will fill your eyes. Your eyes will become green, and you will never go blind again, with the use of the Mengekyou Sharingan" Naruto said. Itachi smiled. They were pulled into another world gate, and were in Tsunade's office.
"So, everything has worked out to your design, eh Naruto" Tsunade said. Naruto nodded.
"Before anything, Itachi prevented a bigger massacre from happening, by making his own. The trial will happen soon, I know. I'm going to further investigate the sightings of the disappearances, and report everything.. But I have to remain hidden. Here, take this" Naruto said, taking off his headband.
"I want this back" Naruto said. He smirked, before leaving. He had to leave, for his mission.
