Chapter 8:The Truth Behind Itachi Uchiha
Chapter 8:The Truth Behind Itachi Uchiha
Itachi got up but Takumi pulled his collar and forced him on top of her.
"That's fine with me…that way I will not miss you" said Takumi "as long as I am with you I feel happy"
"Now die!' screamed Takumi rolling on top of Itachi. She took a kunai from her pocket and lunged downward.
Itachi saw the blade coming and grasped Takumi's wrist. Takumi swung her free left arm to her left. A hidden short Katana handle stuck out from under her sleeve. She bit down on the handle unsheathing it, and whirled her head at Itachi's neck. Itachi used his freehand reached into his pocket and pulled out a kunai, intercepting her short sword. The blade of Takumi's short katana pierced a half an inch of the dark metal of the kunai. Takumi used her left hand to draw another short katana from her right sleeve.
"Let's see you block this!" yelled Takumi
Itachi was completely left open. Both hands were occupied and his whole body was pinned to the ground. He leaned back and before Takumi had halfway drawn the blade. Itachi head butted the handle and pressed against it with his headband. So, Takumi couldn't draw at that close of a range.
"You've got to be kidding me?" said Takumi
"Full of surprises aren't I?" said Itachi shuddering in pain.
"What's wrong?" said Takumi "That's weird"
'My Body' thought Itachi 'it's muscles, and skin are burnt I'll tear them if I keep this up'
"Nothing just some old war wounds!" said Itachi with one eye open,
Itachi head swayed back and forth, he was tired from traveling. His mentality and awareness is not at their best.
'No!' he said to himself 'I've been through worse! I'll pull through! I won't lose! Not now! Not like this! Not to this person… Sasuke'
"Ama" mumbled Itachi closing his eyes
"Ama!" said Itachi summoning the rest of his strength
A sudden deep pain started in his chest. It grew deeper and started to burn. It rose from his chest to his throat. He started to gag he coughed up blood. He breathed heavily. Takumi's kunai almost made contact with his throat.
"Man….Gek…you Shar…in…gan…Ama…" said Itachi closing his eyes tighter, as Takumi's dagger drew nearer.
"AMATERASU!" yelled Itachi with the Mangekyou sharingan spinning wildly.
Takumi jumped out of the way her weapons were incinerated by a black fire. It continued to burn and the flames did not fade. Takumi slid on the sand and noticed that she could not move. He also, noticed that she was too petrified to move. She stared into the reflection of his eyes and saw her being engulfed in black flames.
"Move" whispered Itachi as she fainted
"Move!" said Itachi once more
Itachi deactivated his sharingan and coughed out more blood. He covered his mouth with his hand, but dark red liquid slipped through his fingers. He subsided and fell over to his side.
Hokage's Office…
The Hokage was gathering information of how the Hyuuga that died that night. But, too her it didn't make sense.
"It doesn't make sense" said Tsunade looking over the information.
"What doesn't make sense" said Shizune
"The Hyuuga clan was killed so easily and quickly" said Tsunade
"Yes, this man was indeed talented, but, we have confirmed there were a few sightings, description, and scents all belonged to one person"
"That's not what I'm troubled by…"said Tsunade
"Then what is it?" said a village elder
"The killer could have killed the whole clan if he demolished its estate and killed half of its population in such a short time" said Tsunade "But he didn't"
"Why?" said Tsunade "to run from the Anbu and security this man killed half of the Hyuuga clan , and he snuck through security which means he knows the village defenses well enough…This was also disturbing…A few Hyuuga members saw the fire ninjutsu avoid them ,stop ,and turn to other Hyuuga members."
"Shizune!" said Tsunade "did you get the list of those who died that night"
Tsunade looked over the records and quickly and found that none of them were main branch. Most of these men were on high alert because, of their disobedience to Lord Hiashi and the rule of the main branch.
"No, it can't be him again" said the village elder
"Who?" said Tsunade
"Him…The clan murderer Itachi Uchiha"
Itachi moaned and awoke with a kunai at his throat.
"Why!" yelled Takumi
"Why what?" said Itachi
"Why didn't you kill me last night" said Takumi
"Because…I couldn't I had feelings for you! I just couldn't kill you-" said Itachi
Itachi covered his mouth; he noticed he had no control over his free will.
"So, it does work!" said Takumi " I have a lot of questions and the truth poison I poured into your veins will help me!"
'Shit!' thought Itachi, I need to get out of here!
Itachi was paralyzed, he couldn't move his legs.
"Paralyzing serum should be kicking in now" said Takumi
Before the serum reached his upper half, he poked Takumi in the head.
"Teme!" said Itachi with a smile
Itachi smiled but then frowned. "I can't control my emotions!"
"The serum is very potent, it last a long time…"said Takumi
"Hmpf…well kill me" said Itachi said sarcastically "And, get it over with, I can't bear another second of looking at your face"
Takumi laughed, "Neither can I! But, I want some answers!"
Itachi's collective and, calm aura had left him, his true character he had buried deep within himself awakened. But, most of all he felt an emotion , he hadn't in a long time…Happiness. Itachi 's smile was very warming , and he looked directly into her eyes.
She coughed to try and break up the tension.
"As, I was saying, I want answers-"
"I love you" said Itachi under the drug
Her cheeks grew hot.
"If you did love me!" she said "Then why did you betray the village"
"I never betrayed the village" said Itachi turning away
"What do you mean you killed your own clan" said Takumi
"I never betrayed the village" said Itachi trying to escape the question
"Liar" said Takumi, but she knew he couldn't lie
"Why did you kill the clan" said Takumi
"It's a long story" said Itachi "Maybe, we can talk it over breakfast"
"No" said Takumi "Besides your paralyzed how would you eat?"
Itachi just smiled and opened his mouth, "Ahhhh!"
"Fine, I'll give you breakfast after you tell me Why you killed the Uchiha clan" said Takumi flustered
Itachi's face grew serious and he regained his collective characteristics.
"Before, I can start on why I killed the clan…I have start with Madara Uchiha…
In the second Shinobi war, there were two clans that rivaled each other the senju clan and the Uchiha clan. The senju clan was led by Hashirama Senju, otherwise known as the first Hokage. The other leader was Madara Uchiha. The clan constantly waged war over and over again. Madara and his brother were the first to ever awaken the Mangakyou Sharingan .But, as the war waged on the truth of the Mangekyou Sharingan unfolded. If you continue to use the mangekyou sharingan, you will eventuallly become blind. So, his brother offered him his eyes , so he can see again. But, after the transplant madara discovered a greater and higher power then the mangekyou sharingan. But…by this time the uchiha clan had signed a peace treaty with the senju caln. This formed the village of Konoha."
"So , that's why you let Sasuke live?"said takumi"To steal his eyes!"
Itachi continued,
"Madara and Hashirama both wanted the title of Hokage. But, the village voted in favour of Hashirama ,because it looked bad that madara took his own brother's eyes just for power. So, Madara founded the police force in Konoha but, he still hated Harishima. They both fought once more but Madara was defeated. The village believed he died, but Madara lived a shell of his former self. He tried once more, and summoned the nine-tailed fox, but this time sensei stepped up to the plate. He foiled Madara's plan but, at the cost of his life, and his son's dignity-"
"What does this have to do with you killing the clan?" said Takumi
"The clan later on , didn't like that their leader was exiled because of the hokage. So they planned a revolution against Konoha. The village kept a surveillence on the clan. At that time I was an Anbu so, my father took advantage of the situation. He made me gather information from the village to the clan-"
"Your father did no such thing" said Takumi
"When you came to my house for dinner. Did you hear my father say the following…Itachi you are the only link from the clan to the village"
"That's right"said Takumi
"So I was the spy for the clan …or say they thought …and so, I became a double agent. Gave information about the revolution to the Hokage."
"But…why?"
"I did it for the village and when I was 4 I witnessed the third shinobi war upclose . A child should never see the acts of war upclose it's hell"
"…"
"What would you think would have happened if the revolution did happen?"said Itachi "What would happen if Konoha was weak and vulnerable for attack!"
Takumi gasped.
"That's right another shinobi war" said Itachi " and, I couldn't let that happen…so I seeked Madara to teach me the secrets and the power of the sharingan and, he helped me kill the clan. I also , killed my best friend to gain the Mangekyou sharingan…"
"So…You killed the clan !We could have reasoned with-"said Takumi
"Baka!" said Itachi "Didn't you think the village would do that first?!"
Takumi went silent. But, looked to Itachi with devastation,"But..that would mean-"
"The Uchiha's were unreasonable…The third hokage tried reasoning but, the Konoha elders and the eventual agreement of Lord Hokage himself . They pulled the trigger. They ordered me to kill my whole clan…and become a missing nin…it was all planned…except I let sasuke live…but the mission was seldom complete"said Itachi " I made them swear they would tell no one about my mission and especially Sasuke"
"So you sacrificed that much for the village…you ran…you did all that…but .. how…could you do that to yourself"said takumi
Itachi sighed, "I don't know…"
Takumi was in awe, "So, what were you doing all this time?"
"I ran, I hid, I did what I had to do to survive and I still secretly forward information about the Akatsuki to Jiraya, and make sure the Akatsuki doesn't get the nine-tailed fox" said Itachi as the serum of parylyzation wore off.
Itachi got up and sighed, "The real question remains…What do I do with you now?…"
"You're not gonna kill me are you?"said Takumi in chibi form
Itachi groaned in frustration, "I guess I'll have to...either kill you ,or follow you to make sure you don't spread this information"
Takumi went puppy eyes.
"I'll have to resign as an Akatsuki member"said Itachi taking off his ring
Takumi exhaled,
"Since…I have no where else to go…I'll have to tag along with you…for now"said Itachi and he took off his coat.
"How are you going to explain to the Akatsuki , why you quit?" said Takumi
Itachi smiled and knew just what to do.
1 weeks later…
Kisame went to track down Itachi after he didn't come to the meeting. He went near the beach to see a body. It was Itachi holding the akatsuki ring and a note.
Dear Akatsuki,
I have been injured in battle, and was stranded afterwards. My wounds are too serious, even if I did know Medical ninjutsu. I have no supplies or food. I'm sorry but I can no longer be at your services .
Yours Truly, Itachi Uchiha
"Hmm… Well, at least you left your ring"said Kisame,"It's unexpected and ashame that you died like this…oh well"
Kisame walked back to the hideout ,and left Itachi's corpse.
"Wow!"said Takumi coming out of her Genjutsu
"It's a very realistic and versatile jutsu"said Itachi "Pretty life like huh!"
"Yah, we could fool the shinobi world with this jutsu, are you sure not even medical ninjutu will pick up anything funny?" said Takumi
"Not a chance…well unless" said Itachi
"Unless…"said takumi
"Well putting the body in Hydrochloric Acid would dispel the ninjutsu" said Itachi " I basically got a dead guy and put a henge seal in his heart, then healed the body to be freshly dead"
"So, Takumi what now…"
""I'll have to disguise us and say I am a traveler! I always wanted to travel through all the nations"said Takumi dreaming away
"And, I would dream, I'd travel with you" said Takumi "What do you say?"
"Well…umm….sure…okay…reallly?"said Itachi
"Would I lie?"said Takumi
Itachi smiled at her, and tapped his foot.
"Don't answer that" said Takumi
"Come on, runaway with me" said Takumi clinging on to Itachi
"Alright, as long as I am with you"said Itachi hugging back.
"That's sweet" said takumi pecking him on the cheek
"So… how much money do you have?"said Takumi
"Currently…I'm broke" said Itachi
"Well…uhhh I don't have mone either" said Takumi playing with her finger
Itachi sighed,"Well I do have some money hidden away…"
"How much" said Takumi
"Well uhh…" said Itachi
"How Much" said Takumi
Itachi whispered it in her ear.
"1,000,000,000 Ryu!!"yelled Takumi
"But, it's in the leaf village, I buried it" said Itachi
"So, why didn'y you use the money, it's soorta the money I got for killng the clan…I really didn't feel right taking it" said Itachi
"So, you buried it!"said Takumi
"Where is it buried!" said Takumi
Itachi whispered it in her ear.
"What! You BAKA YOU BURIED IT BEHIND THE KONOHA POLICE FORCE!!" Yelled Takumi
"It seemed like a good idea…at the time" shrugged Itachi "besides your not a misssing nin …right"
"Umm…does running away count?" said Takumi timidly
