Chapter 6 Meetings
Naruto was glad Sasuke didn't end up in an asylum. It was a tough moment for him. But, he obtained the Mangekyo.
Sasuke is now training his new Mangekyo Sharingan powers. Naruto and Sakura were watching him from the sides.
"Amaterasu!" shouted Sasuke.
Black flames flew from his eye to a tree. The tree was burned until there was nothing left. Sasuke's right eye bled.
"You're okay, Sasuke-kun?" asked Sakura.
"I'm fine, Sakura." said Sasuke while wiping the blood from his face.
"That was cool, Sasuke. I mean, inextinguishable flame? That's just amazing." complimented Naruto.
"Yeah. But I can't use it too much. Or I can suffer blindness." said Sasuke.
Then Kakashi came to the training ground. Of course he was late for two hours.
"Yo. How's your new eyes, Sasuke?" asked Kakashi.
"It's great. I can launch inextinguishable flames from my eyes. But the downside is, I can't use it too much if I don't want to be blind." explained Sasuke.
Kakashi nodded. "Yes. Use your Mangekyo powers only when you're really in a pinch. I also have a Mangekyo, but I can't use it too much. My Sharingan is not suited to my body, so when I even only used it to see, my chakra would be drained like what happened when I fought Zabuza." he said.
"What's your Mangekyo power, Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura.
"I can create a vortex that would teleport things into another dimension." he said.
A lamp seemed to appear above Naruto's head. "Kakashi-sensei, I was thinking..."
"What?" asked Kakashi.
"If I put a Hiraishin kunai in that dimension, I can teleport there, right?" said Naruto.
"That's... a really great idea, Naruto. Your head is always full of creative things, just like Minato-sensei." said Kakashi.
"Let's try it." said Naruto.
Kakashi lifted his hitai-ate, revealing his Sharingan. Then it morphed into a Mangekyo.
"Kamui!"
A swirling vortex appeared in the air. Naruto threw a Hiraishin kunai there. The vortex disappeared. Kakashi pulled down his hitai-ate and panted.
"That took a lot of me." said Kakashi.
"I'll make a clone to go there. I don't know what would happen." said Naruto.
He crossed his fingers and formed a Kage Bunshin. Naruto ordered the bunshin to place his chakra emitter there. The bunshin disappeared in a yellow flash.
The bunshin came back after a while and grinned while bringing his hands to a thumbs up before it dispelled.
"It's safe." said Naruto.
Naruto grabbed Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi and teleported to the kamui world. They appeared in a dark, infinite world. The land were just platforms of stones.
Then they caught something in their eyes. A man with an orange mask and black robe with red clouds on it entered the world. He looked at them with his only visible right sharingan eye.
"What? Who is this guy? I thought the only sharingan that can teleport here was Obito's. Wait... could he be..." thought Kakashi.
"It's HIM! It's Madara Uchiha! The man behind the attack of konoha!" shouted a certain fox.
"What?!" thought Naruto with shock in his face.
Sakura and Sasuke didn't look surprised. They thought it was normal. Come on, what would you think when you enter a dinension you didn't know?
"It's Madara Uchiha! The man behind the attack of Kyuubi!" shouted Naruto.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura widened their eyes. They drew their kunai and went to a fighting stance.
"You... tell me where did you get that eye!" shouted Kakashi.
The masked man chuckled.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Kakashi. And the Kyuubi jinchuuriki as well." said the masked man.
This alerted the four.
"How did he knew?!"
"You didn't answer my question. Where did you get that eye?!" asked/shouted Kakashi again.
"Heheheh... where did I get this eye? I got it when I saw you kill Rin!" he shouted, pointing his finger at Kakashi.
Kakashi felt as if a blade has been stabbed into his heart.
"Obito? No... no... it couldn't be... No!"
"No! You're not him. You're not Obito! The Obito I knew would return to Konoha and become a great hokage!"
"Yes, I would. If you didn't kill HER, Kakashi! You killed her. You killed Rin. You killed the girl I loved." he said with narrowed eyes.
Kakashi felt another blade stab his heart as he remembered the moment his best friend died, and the moment he killed his best friend's love. Guilt spread through him. Tears flowed out from his visible eye.
"I'll let you go for this time, friend killer. Goodbye." Obito said as he warped away.
Kakashi fell to his knees. He cried out as guilt and sorrow rushed through him. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked at him in pity. Naruto decided to bring them back to the real world.
Naruto was glad Kakashi didn't end up in an asylum. He had a mental breakdown, yes, but he dealt with it quickly.
Now, the four of them were in the hokage office.
"Jiji, we found the man behind the Kyuubi attack." said Naruto.
The hokage looked confused. "The man behind the Kyuubi attack? What do you mean?"
Naruto sighed. It seems he had to tell his jiji everything.
"Well, here's the story. It started on my first supposed C-rank mission..."
The Hokage had his jaw dropped and eyes as wide as dinner plate. He didn't expect that.
"You... you opened the seal!? Are you mad?" shouted the hokage.
Naruto just looked at him. "No." he said simply.
The elderly hokage was on the verge of fainting. He was sure he almost had a heart attack.
"What? Even dad trusted him." said Naruto, shrugging his shoulders.
"Are they crazy? Or is it just me that was overreacting?" thought the hokage.
"Okay, okay. So, what was it that you want to tell me?" asked the Hokage.
"We met the man that controlled Kurama." said Naruto.
"Where?"
"In Kakashi-sensei's kamui dimension."
The elderly Hokage looked at Kakashi.
"Kakashi?"
Kakashi sighed. "It was Obito." he said.
"Obito? Obito Uchiha? I thought he was dead on your mission at the Kannabi bridge?"
"He survived. And he watched me kill Rin. That's why." said Kakashi.
"Oh, and he's wearing a black robe with red clouds, though I don't know what that means." said Sasuke.
This alerted the Hokage.
"And he knew Naruto's status as a jinchuuriki." added Sakura.
This panicked the Hokage even more.
"Shit. It's the Akatsuki. A group formed by S-rank ninjas. And if they knew that Naruto is a jinchuuriki..."
"Be careful, Naruto. There's a chance that you will face them in the future."
Naruto nodded.
"That's it then. Dismissed."
They nodded and teleported away.
A hill outside Konoha
Two men with black robes with red clouds on it and straw hat on their heads were watching Konoha from the hill. One of them gave a warm smile, before he returned to his stoic face.
"Feeling homesick, Itachi?" asked the other man. He had a shark like face and a sword wrapped in bandages on his back.
"Of course not. Come, let's find the jinchuuriki. Don't waste anytime. I don't want to hear leader-sama's speech about pain if we fail." said Itachi.
The shark like man chuckled and followed Itachi behind.
They walked to a restaurant. They decided to eavesdrop on the people there. They heard someone talking about demon. So they decided to hear them.
They got the information. Apparently, the jinchuuriki loved ramen and always went to a ramen restaurant with the name Ichiraku. They decided to go there.
They had to hold the urge to sweatdrop when they saw a blond boy eating six bowls of ramen. The boy was eating with another boy, a girl, and a masked man.
They decided to join. They took a seat beside the group and ordered some ramen.
"Two bowls of miso ramen, please." asked Itachi.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "That voice..."
Sasuke gestured the others to look at the two. Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi instantly caught the message. Red clouds. Akatsuki.
Itachi turned his head to them. "Meet me at training ground seven." he said. He ate his ramen and got away. "Let's go, Kisame."
Kisame slurped his ramen and drank the broth. He stood up and followed Itachi.
Naruto looked at the others. "What should we do?" he asked.
"We should report to-"
"No. Don't. I want to solve him with Naruto." Sasuke cut Kakashi.
Naruto widened his eyes. "Was that..."
"Yes. Now let's go."
Training ground 7
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi teleported to their training ground. They saw the two men before standing there.
"Who are you?" asked Kakashi.
Itachi opened the top button of his robe and let his left arm hanging there. Then he removed the straw hat from his head. Sasuke was just going to charge forwards, but he remembered Naruto's words. Itachi could be innocent.
"Hello, foolish little brother. And also Naruto-kun." said Itachi.
"Answer me Itachi. Why did you kill them?" asked Sasuke, activating his Sharingan.
"I thought I told you that night. I want to test my powers."
Sasuke hissed. This was getting nowhere. If he asked, Itachi won't explain why there was a single tear in his face that night.
"I think I have to fight you if I want to know the truth." said Sasuke.
"And you also tortured Naruto. He gets in the fight too." continued Sasuke.
Naruto slammed his palm to the ground. An orange barrier dome formed around the training ground.
"Shit. Now we can't escape." thought Itachi.
"I obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan just as you asked, Itachi." said Sasuke while morphing his eye to the Mangekyo.
"Sasuke, you wait there. I have to take something."
Sasuke face-vaulted. "Of all times, why now?"
"Just wait there."
A few moments later, Naruto came back with two... pairs of soft lenses? "What are these for, Naruto?" asked Sasuke.
"I didn't want to get caught in the Tsukuyomi again. If we use a mirror, it will reflect Itachi's eyes, so it's like he's looking at himself." explained Naruto.
"You're a genius." said Sasuke as he put on the lenses.
Itachi looked at them with worry. "They figured how to counterattack the Tsukuyomi. I'm in a disadvantage here." he thought.
Naruto ordered Sakura and Kakashi to take on Kisame. Then he and Sasuke went to a battle stance.
"Using eye lenses to counterattack my genjutsu is smart. But can you defeat my skills in tai and ninjutsu?" taunted Itachi.
Naruto and Sasuke grinned. "Of course we can." they said in unison before they teleported away.
Naruto formed Kage Bunshins to attack and confuse Itachi. Sasuke appeared above Itachi to shoot a Goukakyu from above.
"Katon:Goukakyu no Jutsu!" A big fireball appeared from Sasuke's mouth. Itachi just dodged in time, before he was ambushed by Kage Bunshins who used Hiraishin.
"What? Hiraishin?"
Itachi was kicked in the gut by a Bunshin upwards. A Bunshin Hiraishined above Itachi and kicked him downwards. He flew into a bunch of Bunshin who exploded themselves.
"Bunshin Daibakuha!"
An explosion rumbled in where Itachi was. He managed to Kawarimi himself with a log near the barrier.
"Hey! That was my jutsu!"
He was cut off by Sasuke who Shunshined beside him and threw a kunai at him.
"Kunai Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he shouted.
The kunai he threw multiplied into a hundred of them. Itachi managed to Shunshin around and appeared just behind Sasuke. Sasuke Shunshined to create a distance.
Itachi formed several Kage Bunshins to confuse Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke grinned as they teleported to the Bunshins and slitting their throats with a kunai. They wreaked havoc to the Itachi clones.
"It's like in the third shinobi world war. I'm sure I was seeing the Yellow Flash's and Shisui's reincarnation."
Itachi Shunshined to the other side of the barrier. But that was a mistake. Naruto and Sasuke immediately knew that he was the real one and Hiraishined there. Naruto appeared grabbing Sasuke's shoulders who readied his Mangekyo in front of Itachi. They grinned.
"Amaterasu!" shouted Sasuke.
Itachi widened his eyes. Escaping was not possible. The distance was too close. So instead he fired his own Amaterasu to counter it. The Amaterasu projectiles clashed. It spread to the sides, not touching the three of them. Both Uchiha's right eye's bled.
A Naruto Bunshin sneaked up behind Itachi. Itachi let his guard down after the close call. The Bunshin slapped Itachi's neck to mark him. Itachi widened his eyes and Shunshined away.
But with a Hiraishin mark on him, the Bunshin followed him and exploded itself. The explosion sent Itachi flying to the center of the training ground. Naruto and Sasuke approached him.
With Sakura, Kakashi, and Kisame.
"Ugh, why do I get the girl?" complained Kisame.
Sakura's eyes twitched. "I'm quite strong, you know!" shouted Sakura.
"Yes. Don't underestimate us. It will be your downfall." said Kakashi.
Kisame rolled his tiny eyes. "Whatever." he said as he drew the blade from his back. He charged at them. Kakashi and Sakura drew their kunais.
Kisame slashed downwards at Kakashi. The power behind the slash startled Kakashi. "Somehow I got the feeling that this fight won't be as easy as Zabuza."
He took another kunai from his pouch. Kisame swung his blade horizontally. Kakashi ducked. "His speed doesn't match Zabuza's. That's good." thought Kakashi.
He backflipped as he saw Sakura 's Inner Self launch itself from Sakura to Kisame. "Shannaro!" it shouted.
The Inner Sakura cocked her right fist and punched at Kisame. But Kisame's blade moved on its own and blocked the incoming fist. The Inner Sakurs slowly disappeared.
"What? His sword can move on its own and eat chakra?" thought Kakashi with wide eyes/eye.
He Shunshined beside Sakura. "Sakura, watch out. His blade can absorb chakra and move on its own. If you get even one slash, you could suffer chakra exhaustion, since your chakra capacity is little. I'll try to make an opening and distract him and his blade. Then you strike him with a launching Inner Sakura just like you did before. Do not go near him. Got it?" explained Kakashi.
Sakura nodded her head. Kakashi summoned a Kage Bunshin. The two Kakashis dashed to Kisame. The real one drew his kunai, while the Bunshin charged a Raikiri.
Kakashi striked at Kisame, not giving him a chance to counter. The Kakashi Bunshin slashed his Raikiri to Kisame. Samehada/Shark Skin moved and ate the Kage Bunshin's hand. The Raikiri disappearead and the Bunshin poofed away.
Inner Sakura flew towards them. "Shannaro!" it shouted.
Kakashi evaded the massive punch. Kisame, used to having his sword eat ninjutsus couldn't dodge in time. Samehada also didn't have the time to bend again and eat the Inner Sakura. So the punch rumbled the earth, formed a massive crater, and flattened Kisame.
Kakashi used an Earth Prison Jutsu to trap Kisame, since Kisame was from Kirigakure and was proficient with water jutsus. He was dealt with. Kakashi summoned another Bunshin to keep the Earth Prison formed. Sakura and Kakashi sighed in relief.
With Naruto and Sasuke
Naruto slapped a stasis seal to prevent Itachi from moving. Itachi found himself couldn't move. It's like he's buried beneath a mountain.
"Congratulations, Sasuke. You defeated me." said Itachi.
"Cut the crap, Itachi. Tell me why did you massacred our clan." ordered Sasuke, foot on Itachi's prone body.
Itachi sighed. "Guess I can't hide it any more." said Itachi.
Sasuke looked confused. "Hide what?"
"*sigh* I have to tell you from the beginning. Get Kakashi and Sakura here, and Kisame too. You don't want to explain this again." said Itachi.
"I'll get them, Sasuke. Have a chat with him, Ok?" said Naruto.
Sasuke nodded. Naruto Hiraishined outside the barrier. He saw Sakura, Kakashi, and another Kakashi holding an earth dome.
"How's it?" asked Kakashi.
"We got him. Don't worry, I put a stasis seal on him. Now, can you release the prison and let me put a stasis seal on the shark face?" said Naruto.
Kakashi nodded. The Kage Bunshin poofed and the earth dome collapsed. Naruto instantly put a seal on Kisame.
"Let's go." said Naruto as he Hiraishined the three.
The four appeared back near Itachi and Sasuke. Sasuke was crossing his arms, waiting impatiently.
"Before I tell you, are you loyal to me or to Akatsuki, Kisame?" asked Itachi.
Kisame seemed to thought about it for a moment. "I think I'll follow you, Itachi."
"Okay. It all starts from the Uchiha clan. We want to be seen as a strong clan. We thought it was not enough for us to be a police for Konoha. So the Uchiha planned a coup. The Hokage and the Konoha elders knew this."
"Just as I thought. Jiji was to calm when I told him about you." said Naruto.
"Yes. One of the elders, Danzo, suggested the Hokage to eliminate the Uchiha. I and my best friend, Shisui, was there. Shisui had a Mangekyo Sharingan with the power to make people do what he wants without them knowing it. The jutsu was called Kotoamatsukami. He gave the elders an alternative way by using Kotoamatsukami."
"Then why didn't he do it?" asked Sasuke. He felt that this was not going to like what's next.
"Just before he casted the Kotoamatsukami, he was attacked by ROOT ANBU." said Itachi.
"ROOT ANBU?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes. Danzo's goons. They attacked him. Shisui escaped but was chased. Then, he had to fight Danzo himself. During the fight, Danzo took his left eye. Shisui escaped by Shunshining away. But, without the complete set of eye, he couldn't cast the genjutsu to all of the Uchiha. He met me. He gave his right eye to me and asked me to kill him so I could obtain the Mangekyo. It... it was a hard decision for me."
"What did you do?" asked Sasuke.
"I... killed him. I stored his eye to one of my crows. I came back to see the Hokage and elders. I told them what happened. But without evidence, I can't tell them that Danzo was behind this. He kept insisting the Hokage to massacre the Uchiha. Hokage-sama... agreed, since there was no other choice."
Sasuke widened his eyes.
"But I can't just massacre them in the public. It would be bad for Konoha if the information that the Hokage ordered to massacre the Uchiha spread out. People won't come here if they knew that Konoha would kill it's own civilian. So I offered myself to massacre the Uchiha and marked as a missing-nin." said Itachi.
"Then why didn't you kill me?" asked Sasuke.
Itachi looked at him. "Because I can't stand to kill my own brother. Mom and dad was enough." he said, hoping that Sasuke would forgive him.
It shocked Sasuke. He always hoped that Itachi was innocent. He was. Sasuke cried, realizing that he still had a family. Naruto and Sakura hugged him, just like a family would do. Itachi smiled at the sight.
Sasuke wiped his tears. "But, why didn't you join the other Uchihas? Why did you protect Konoha? You knew that you would be alone." asked Sasuke.
Itachi sighed. "We are different from other Uchihas, Sasuke. I, you, Shisui, and Shisui's father were different."
"What differenced us?" asked Sasuke.
"We have stronger hearts, Sasuke. The Uchiha had fragile hearts. They're sensitive. That's what led them to the dark path." said Itachi.
"Why did you ask me to obtain the Mangekyo?"
Itachi gulped. He was hoping to evade the question. But he can't lie to his little brother anymore. "I'm afraid it's something you don't want to hear, Sasuke."
Sasuke was worried. "What is it, Itachi?"
Itachi sighed. "I was planning to transplant my Mangekyo into yours, so you can use Mangekyo powers without suffering the downside."
Sasuke widened his eyes. "But that means..."
"I will be blind. And, I'm dying, Sasuke. I had a sickness that would kill me eventually."
Sasuke was shocked, again. He just realized that his brother was the same brother he had when he was little. Now Itachi was going to die. "What?! But, but we just met, and just knew that I still had a living family. Why did you have to go?" complained Sasuke with tears and all.
"I planned this Sasuke. I want you to be strong. Bring a good name to the Uchiha. But don't worry, I won't be dying soon. I still have a time to train you in the Mangekyo jutsus and Kenjutsu/Sword Technique."
Naruto decided to cut them off. "And I have a good place for you guys to train."
"Where?" asked Sasuke.
Naruto pointed to his head. Sasuke got the message. He shaped his lips into an 'O'.
